Booth Lakehead University, Thunder Bay A science more than 250 years old The science, as distinct from the art, of photography is now more than 250 years old since the basic experiment on the blackening of silver salts through the action of I ight was conducted by J. H. Schulze in 1725. Schulze did not make a photograph as we now understand it but used a sensitive material which consisted of a mixture of chalk and silver nitrate shaken up with water in a bottle and used wet to record the outline of a stencil placed between the emulsion and the sun. Since the process was essentially a wet one, there are no existing "photograms", to use the modern term, dating from this time. In 1777, C. W. Scheele noticed that silver chloride was more quickly blackened by the violet and blue rays of the spectrum than by the others, and in a sense, this fundamental experiment is the basis of much modern work on photographic emulsion sensitivity and its correction to record the same sort of image as seen by the human eye. In the year 1800, Thomas Wedgwood made contact copies in silhouette form of leaves on leather sensitized with silver nitrate. Again, there was no fixing process used so that the results of these experiments have long since disappeared. The man most usually credited with the invention of photography was Nicephore Niepce who, in 1816, made photographs using a "camera" - that is, a dark chamber with an appropriate lens - to produce photographs on paper sensitized with silver chloride. These photographs were partially fixed using hypo and really constitute the first artistic realization of what we now cal I photography. In the year 1819, Sir John Herschel discovered that thiosulphates removed undeveloped silver halides and thus made the images produced on ·paper by the action of light permanent. This led H in 1826 to the second relevant experiment of Niepce who made a photograph from nature using a lens system and a pewter plate sensitized with bitumen. Niepce's camera of 1826 is interesting in that it contained a bellows for focussing the lens and an iris diaphragm for controlling the amount of light, although the degree of control is debatable since the exposure was eight hours! Recognizable artistic photography started in 1835 when L. J. M. Daguerre made direct photographs on silvered copper plates coated with a silver iodide. The latent image was developed by mercury vapour, a most obnoxious substance, and in 1837, it was found that the result could be fixed using a solution of common salt. Thus, the Daguerreotype was born. The second contender for the honour of invention of artistic photography was W. H. Fox Talbot who, also in 1835, produced photogenic drawings" on paper sensitized with silver chloride and fixed with potassium iodide. Fox Talbot also discovered that prolonged washing with water would dissolve out the undeveloped chloride and thus act as a fixative. The period 1820 to 1840 was one of vigorous scientific activity and readers should recollect the work of Michael Faraday who, between 1828 and 1832, discovered most of the practical applications of electro-magnetism, including the transformer, the motor, and the electric generator. The time was also an active one for microscopists, and in 1839, the Reverend J. B. Reade made the first photomicrographs using a solar microscope to record on paper sensitized with silver nitrate and developed with gallic acid. Fixing was achieved by immersion in sodium thiosul phate. The importance of the photographic process is indicated by the fact that in 1839, the French Government issued working instructions for the creation of Daguerreotypes, and in the same year, Sir John Herschel, son of Sir William mentioned earlier, first coined the word photography" from roots meaning writing with light. 11 11 �3. 1840 is an important date, since in this year, J. Petzval established the basic theory required to compute optical systems of photographic type. The Petzval portrait lens is still in use. In the same year, A. Wolcott opened the first photographic portrait studio in New York City. The Europeans had the art, but the Americans, as usual, made the money I 1844 - first book illustrated photographically 1844 was an important date in the history of photography since it was in that year that Fox Talbot published the first part of "The Pencil of Nature" which was the first book to be illustrated photographically. Copies of this book are still extant, but it is a very rare book, and if a copy ever came up for sale, it would fetch a very large sum of money. The birth of flash photography was not due to Harold Edgerton as is usually thought, but to Fox Talbot who, in 1851, made the first photographs of an object in rapid movement using an electric spark. In the year 1852, the same experimenter showed that gelatin was made insoluble when saturated with sodium biochromate and exposed to light. This led to the first practical process for half-tone printing. 'The technical processes of photography were in a state of rapid change. The Daguerreotype required special preparation for viewing. The later wet processes were messy in application and were replaced finally by dry processes using a transparent negative fol lowed by a positive. It was not until 1871 that R. L. Maddox made the first gelatin dry plates. These were extremely slow, although subsequently improved, both as to speed and to quality. With the coming of the gelatin emulsion, the chemists concentrated on finding reliable methods of development and Sir William Abney, of Photometer fame, discovered the virtues of hydroqwnone in 1880 and was soon followed by H. B. Berkeley who, in 1882, added sodium sulphite to the armoury of photographic developers. 1882 also marks the point of emergence of orthochromatic plates - that is, plates whose sensitivity resembled more that of the human eye than did the original emulsions which, as we mentioned earlier, displayed considerable sensitivity to blue and violet radiation but little to anything else. From this time on, the development of photography was rapid and the inventions came thick and fast. Significant dates are 1888 when the first Kodak roll film camera came on the market, 1891 when the physicist Lippmann produced the first interference colour photographs, and 1906 when Wratten and Wainwright produced the first panchromatic plates - that is, plates sensitive to all col ours. 1914 saw the first Kodak colour photographic process, but the real development of colour photography had to await the work of Mannes and Godowsky in 1935 when the Kodachrome process was developed. 1861 - colour! The last significant date was 1947 when Edwin Land produced the one-step photographic process now known as Polaroid. All of this work was, of course, in black and white or in some of the rather charming sepia and gold tones produced by the replacement of silver by such metals as gold and platinum, but in the year 1861, J. Clerk Maxwell demonstrated the first three-colour separation method for producing coloured images and thereby established the basis of modern colour photography. The work of Maxwel I was fol lowed quite quickly in 1868 by that of Ducos du Hauron who experimented with three-colour photography and discovered various methods of realizing it including that of subtractive colour synthesis. Along with the development of the chemistry of the photographic process, optical systems and cameras received a great deal of attention. The first cameras were simply boxes with a lens in front and a plate behind. Early lenses, which used a very small aperture, did not require focussing, in this respect they did not differ much from the box Brownies of the 1930's and the inexpensive plastic cameras of the present day! Because of the slow emulsions, however, it became necessary to develop lenses which would let in far more light. This led to two interesting scientific kinds of research: the first directed to the elimination �4. of the severe aberrations from which large aperture lenses suffered, and the second to the design of lenses to produce distortion-free images. The only important technical developments of the nineteenth century were the addition of bellows to enable the new and larger aperture lenses to be properly focussed and the introduction first of the Waterhouse diaphragm with its disc of circular stops, and second of the iris diaphragm as a means of controlling the amount of light falling on the film. As films or plates became faster, exposures became much shorter and this, in turn, led to the mechanical development of shutters which would work at high speed and at the same time give reproducible results. Many and various were the designs tried, ranging from pneumatic to spring-driven sets of blades, and of course, roller blind type apparatus, usually driven by springs, which was the prototype of the modern focal plane shutter. miniature, spy cameras The late nineteenth century produced a rash of spy cameras, smal I and unobtrusive devices which were the prototypes of the modern miniature cameras. These were designed to take pictures of one's friends in embarrassing situations, to say nothing of their use by the emerging race of scientific detectives typified by Mr. Sherlock Holmes. The first miniature cameras in the modern sense were the Ermanox used to great effect by the famous photographer, Dr. Salomon and, of course, the Leica, the grandfather of all modern miniature 35 mm. cameras. The explosion of photographic technology of the 1960's and the introduction of electronics, both for light metering and for shutter automation have produced a real revolution in the use of the camera. No longer does the photographer have to have any real skill. What he needs is artistic perception. The automation does the rest. CULTURE, POLITICS AND GEOGRAPHY: or Cymru Am Byth Is A Fine Slogan, But What Does It Mean? by Mr. Robert S. Dilley Lakehead University While there are almost as many definitions of geography as there are geographers, few would deny that one of the most basic concerns of the subject is with distributions: where things are, why they are there, and how they rel ate to other things. Such investigations can take nany forms: the distribution of crop-growing and its relationship with rainfall; the distribution of coal and its relationship with unemployment, and so on. In each case two (or more) phenomena are mapped, and attempts made to measure and explain any similarities in their distributions. For example, consider the relationship between minority cultural traits and minority political parties. In the case of Wales the historic national tongue is Welsh, a Celtic language with no recognizable relationship with English. It is found only in Wales and among a few expatriates, though Welsh-speakers tend to lose their lang1age quickly on emigration. About one-fifth of the population currently speaks Welsh (Map 1 ), tho·Jgh virtually all are bilingual in English (Welsh monoglots account for little over 1% of the t:>tal population). Welsh-speaking is strongest i1 the rural areas of the north and west; lovvest in the industrial south, along the English b0rder and in Pembrokeshire, "little England beyond Wales". Being exclusive to the Welsh it provides a strong focus for national cultural identity; even nonWelsh-speaki ng Welshmen delight in the average Englishman's inability to pronounce place-names such as Pwllheli, Llanllwchaiarn and Llanfihangel yng Ngwynfa. Welsh nationalism as a significant political force is a new phenomenon; after ye1rs of being the butt of jokes about lost deposits the Plaid Cymru (pronounced approximately ,iplide comeree", with the emphasis on "come") attained respectabi Iity when its President, Gwyn for Evans, was elected in a Carmarthen by-election in 1966. Last year's October election was their most successful (Map 2) when they gained 10% of the popular vote and three M.P.s; in Carmarthen (Gwyn for Evans again), Caern uvon and Merioneth. �5. The general relationship between Plaid Cymru and the Welsh language is apparent from the maps (for simplicity, data are grouped by counties: Glamorgan, for example, returns 17 M.P.s; Brecknock and Radnor share one between them). Correlating percentage Welsh-speaking with percentage vote for the Plaid Cymru m a county basis provides a coefficient of + 0.83, significant at the 0.1% level. This is an indication of a very strong positive relationship. Such relationships, of course, must not simply be pulled out of the statistical hat and held up for wonderment. In some cases high correlations may be due to chance; more often to the overriding influence of some third factor on both elements being studied. Before drawing maps or running correlations the researcher must have good reason to expect to find a relationship. In the case of Welsh and Welsh nationalism the connection is clear: the party has made great use of the language as a rallying-point or standard: although only a minority is fluent most Welshmen know at least a few words and have a sentimental attachment to the symbol of their difference from the saesneg (Saxon; i.e. Englishman). Appeals to hwyl (intensely sentimental Welsh emotionalism, seen at its quintessential best just after one of the regular Welsh rugby football defeats of the England side) are, more effective when couched in Welsh. Conversely, non-speakers of Welsh may become irritated by the noisy waving of the linguistic flag, and less inclined therefore to vote for the Plaid Cymru. The relationship, clearly, is not perfect. The percentage vote for the Plaid Cymru at the last election was only half the Welsh-speaking percentage, and it did not fol low the language distribution absolutely. People vote for a variety of reasons, and will not automatically support a party just because it is the only one to espouse their language. Many nationalistic Welsh-speakers on Anglesey voted for the Labour M. P. Cledwyn Hughes, a prominent and much-admired advocate of the Welsh cause. In the heavily Englishspeaking, coal-mining and steel-producing areas of Glamorgan and Monmouth the vote has traditionally been monolithically Labour: in 1966 the area returned 21 Labour M. P s and one Conservative. However, the failure of successive Labour governments to improve the South Wales economy sufficiently has led to a certain amount of protest voting. The rural areas have tended to go Tory (they now have 4 members). The miners would sooner vote for a Martian than a Conservative (at the last election Abertillery voted 76% Labour and Rhondda 77%), but an increasing number feel safe in registering their irritation by giving their vote to Plaid Cymru. Thus the Anglesey vote is rather lower than might be expected; that of the industrial south a little higher. If space permitted these residuals, or differences from the expected figures, could be mapped and more eas i Iy observed. At this level of study only crude approximations can be made. Greater accuracy would be obtained by breaking the counties down into their individual constituencies (smaller division is impossible, as British elections are not declared on a poll-by-poll basis: the ballots are taken to a central location and deliberately mixed before being counted). Similar studies could be made of other areas where linkages of cultural phenomena and political allegiance are suspected. It might be interesting, for example, to compare Francophone areas and votes for the Parti Quebecois. There would not, however, be any point in relating votes for the Scottish Nationalist Party to the Gaelic tongue. Very few Scots speak the language (little over 1%) and they are highly localized in the Western Highlands and Islands. The S. N. P. concentrates more on economic and governmental issues and has wider appeal than the culturallyoriented Plaid Cymru (the S. N. P. polled nearly 30% of the Scottish vote last year, overtaking the Tories). Thus Plaid Cymru sentiment is clearly linked with the Welsh language. It might seem advantageous for the party to foster this link, and to aim to collect the other half of the Welsh-speaking vote. However, this could be risky in the long term, as the Welsh-speaking percentage is shrinking and the Anglophone majority may be repelled. Plaid Cymru votes in largely English-speaking areas such as Pembroke (4.5%), Barry, Glamorgan (3.3%) and Monmouth ( 1.4%) suggest that "Cymru am byth" (Wales for ever) has less meaning there. Studies such as this can at least provide the basis from which political decisions must be made. �MAP 2, 1974 PLAID CYMRU VOTE AS A PERCENTAGE OF THOSE VOTING.

With the increasing mathematization of the social and natural sciences, most math teachers find they must drastically modify and update their course contents, in order to maintain at least a semblance of relevance. Gone are the days when students would be content with only physical and geometrical applications of the calculus, for examplel Now most high school calculus courses must contain applications to economics, biology, sociology and psychology, even if they are of an extremely idealized nature. Thus, the following very simple application of calculus to warfare might appeal to a good student, although it may be difficult to persuade him/her that it is really of practical value. At the very least, the main result is both easy to obtain and completely unexpected two good qualities rarely occurring together! 2: A SHORT HISTORY OF WARFARE. We deal with battles between two opposing forces. , Battles in primitive times probably consisted of a lot of individual hand-to-hand fights; the essential point for us is that the weapons fists, clubs, spears - were not long range weapons: it was impossible to concentrate the power of many soldiers on one opponent. Thus if, for example, we had two such armies, one with 100 men and one with 200, we would expect - if the soldiers are equally profficient that the result would be annihilation of the first army and 100 survivors from the second. The battle could simply be fought by letting half the second army act as spectators, while everyone else is killed. Nowadays things are different and undoubtedly much improved. Long range weapons enable armies to concentrate their fire power and, as we shall see, this can lead to unexpected advantages. There are some pretty obvious ~xamples: perhaps the battle of Agincourt was the most spectacular - the long range weapons of the English (bows and arrows) annihilated the the larger French army, whose weapons were short range. E T TE Fl E P Nearer our own time, the use of field artillery in the Russo-Japanese war, and now, the anticipated use of inter-continental ballistic missiles, indicate how far we have come from clubs and swords. Interested history students might profitably analyse some modern battles using the concepts we will now introduce. ' 3: A MATHEMATICAL MODEL FOR MODERN WARFARE. We consider two opposing forces, the red and the blue armies, of sizes r(t}, b(t), respectively, at any time t. We will measure time from the beginning of the battle, so r(0), b(O) are the initial sizes of the armies. Of course, we could measure the sizes, not in terms of soldiers, but in terms of battalion, ships, etc., whatever is convenient. We assume that each soldier (battalion, ship) in the red army is equally effective in warfare, and that he can concentrate his fire power in any way, so that, throughout the battle he kills R blue soldiers every minute. Similarly, each blue soldier kills B red soldiers every minute; R and B are fixed numbers. Consider what happens in a short time interval from t to t+h minutes during the battle. The number of red soldiers killed is, by the definition of r, -(r(t+h)-r(t) ). On the other hand, if the time interval is short, the size of the blue army hasn't changed much in this time, and thus is approximately b(t) its size at the beginning - so the number of red soldiers killed is b (t) • B • h by the definition of the kill rate B. Thus, for values of h near 0, r(t + h) -- r(t) % -b(t) . 8 . h so r(t+h)-r(t) % -b(t) . B h Since this approximation improves as h approaches 0, we have ER �9. dr dt= -b. B (Calculus!) Similarly, db = -r• R dt and so, after a bit of algebra b • B • db = r • R • dr dt dt If we integrate both sides with respect to time, we get the unexpected result: 'b2 B - r2 R is independant of time Let us2 cal I b 2 B the strength of the blue army and r . R the strength of the red army. We have shown that tne difference in strength is conI stant throughout the the battle. Examples : 1. Consider a battle between 10 machine gunners (the red army) and 100 infantrymen (the blue army), and assume the kill rate of the machine gunners is 16 times that of the infantrymen. Let us measure time so the rates are 16 and 1. Initially, the , strengths are: machine gunners= 16. 10 2 = 1600 infantrymen = 1 • ( 100 ) 7 = 10000 and so, at any time, b(t) 2 16r(t) 2 = 10,000 - 1,600 = 8,400 The battle will end when one side is vanquished - when b(t) or r(t) is 0. Clearly, b(t) will never be 0: b(t) 7 = 8,400 + 16r(t) 2 so, at the end, r(t) = 0 and b(t) =J8,400 = 91. Only nine infantrymen have been killed, and all 10 of the machine gunners die in spite of the fact that they are, individualy, 16 times more effective in killing! A rather surprising result. 2. The above example was rather an uneven contest - the machine gunners were quite overwhelmed. Let's consider a more equal match: 10 machine gunners against 60 infant- rymen. The infantry is the stronger, by 2000, so a battle would result in it winning, with 45 infantrymen left. But suppose the machine gunners use a bit of strategy, and manage to break the battle into a series of battles, in each one of which they all atack 20 infantrymen. The results are: (i) 10 mgs vs 20 inf. : 8 mgs survive (ii) 8 mgs vs 20 inf. : 3 mgs survive (iii) 6 mgs vs 20 inf. : 3 mgs survive The machine gunners have won! Thus we see that a bit of strategy can win against what, at first glance, appears to be overwhelming force. Of course, the enemy general has to be rather stupid to allow his army tn be picked off ·piecemeal, but this is what often occurs in practice. A small force is sent to divert a larger part of the enemy; their job is simply to pin down a lot of soldiers while their comrades defeat the small remainder. Then they keep regrouping until they win. A naval battle, during the days of sailing ships, would be a good example of this - in that no diversionary force is needed if the wind is right - the attacking admiral hits his opponents part way down the line and lets the wind carry off a portion of the enemy fleet. By the time it has been turned around to re-enter the fight, the next phase has started. Nelson used this ploy at Trafalgar; this has been analysed by Lankester in his classic paper [3]. We will give a slightly different interpretation. 4: THE BATTLE OF TRAFALGAR RERUN. Up to 1782, there was no 'naval strategy' - it was 'line up, and attack ship-to-ship'. But in 1782 the British admiral Rodney, probably by accident, broke through the enemy line and by concentrating on his centre and rear, won a victory. This prepared the military mind for Nelson's strategy at Trafalgar. It was known that Nelson would favour Rodney's strategy; the French admiral, Villeneuve, stated before the battle that "the British fleet will not be formed in a line-of-battle parallel to the combined (ie. the French and Spanish) fleet according to the usage of former days. Nelson will seek to break our line, envelop our rear, and overpower with groups of his ships as many as he can isolate and cut off. Why the French and Spanish admirals let Nelson dictate the strategy is a matter for military historians; the answer may lie in the fact that the French believed their �10. reverses at sea were due to the introduction of tactics, which one of their admirals had castigated as a "veil of timidity". Also, due to the British blockade, the French sailors at that time were so untrained they couldn't manoeuvre their ships - but they were more accurate at gunnery, so long-range warfare should have been congenial for them. At any rate, Nelson and his aides, Collingwood and Keats, planned the battle as follows: They assumed they would have 40 ships, and the enemy would have 46. The British fleet was to attack in 3 columns, as below. \ \\ wind . . . _ ,_ _ _ _ . _ _ _ _ _ _ . _ _. . . ,_ _ _ _ 12 12 4 In fact, these tactics part of Nelson's fleet •convoy to Malta, and formed two lines; the great detai I in [ 1] . --►.,.,. 18 Combined fleet Assuming the wind carried the 18 ships out of the battle, and that it broke into 3 separate battles: 16 British vs 12 Combined 16 British vs 12 Combined 8 British vs 4 Combined, resulting in 27 British ships surviving, and then the final battle of 27 British against 18 Combined, the net result is that 20 British ships are left. If the usual 'line of battle' attack had been used, the combined fleet would have won, with 20 ships, and most of us would speak French. • were changed because had to accompany a in the battle he only battle is described in 5: MORE APPLICATIONS. It would be interesting to apply these ideas to modern battles, to see if the military strategists could have been using - perhaps in an intuitive way - the quantitative results we can get. A 'dictionary of battles' - there are quite a few in print, and they should be available in the reference section of most school libraries - is all that would be needed. There may be applications to other situations to; polymer chemistry and molecular biology might contain intersting applications. Also, the mathematics of the situation has not, to my knowledge, really been investigated. The Iength of battle can be found; the answer involves the hyperbolic functions. The strength of an army consisting of several different types of weapons is certainly not that given in [3] , and appears to depend on the opposition, but I have not found even an approximate explicit form for it. What is the size of an overwhelming force?, one that will win no matter what strategy is used. How can we find a best strategy? Other mathematical problems may suggest themselves; I would be glad to hear of them. REFERENCES: 1. Major General J. F. C.

ATHE Tl S by: Dr. C. C. Mutambirwa lakehead University The mathematical needs of t 1e Arts student have increased very much in recent years. This is particularly so for the student intending to major in any one or more of the social sciences, namely, Anthropology, Economics, Geography, Political Science, Psychology and Sociology. Unfortunately a large number of such students still enter college or university with limited mathematical preparation at the high school level. Most Arts-bound students drop out of the high school mathematics program because of real or imagined fears of mathematics as a hard subject. Others drop out because of the misconceptions (also held by several teachers) that high school mathematics is not essential to the Arts major. The lack of a significant change in this state of affairs seems to lie in the pure Science bias contained in most high school mathematics curricula which have failed to include explicitly material suitable for the needs of the Social 'Scientist. Lately, however, the growing importance of mathematics to the social sciences is being recognized. The Secondary Schools Statistics Project which was launched just over two years ago at the University of Western Ontario is one evidence of this recognition. Since then high school mathematics teachers have held related seminars designed to revise the high school curriculum (especially the statistics program) accordingly. The growing importance of mathematics to the social sciences has been demonstrated by the results arising from the study under the auspices of the project noted above. (See MacNeil, 1975, "The Social Scientists' View Of High School Mathematics", in Ontario Mathematics Gazette Vol. 13, No. 3, pp167-186). Using questionnaires, a poll (80% response) of social scientists in Ontario Universities was conducted to determine their opinions on mathematics curricula. Three sets of questions were asked. The first set asked the social scientists to indicate the value of eleven major mathematics topics to their undergraduate programs. The second set asked for the antici- T E TS ST E T pated future mathematical needs of the social sciences. The third requested them to rate the importance of various statistics and probability topks to the social sciences programs. The results of the statistical analyses of responses to the above sets of questions show that: I. Statistics, probabi I ity and the basic concepts of algebra are very useful to the secondary school mathematics program and hence also to the university social science programs. (Table 1 refers). 2. The relatively recent and modern aspects of the mathematics curriculum, which include computer science, probability, statistics and matrix algebra, will be of increasing importance to the social sciences. (see Table 2). 3. Data tabulation methods, measures of central tendency and of disperson should be part of the high school statistics course. In addition the high school student should be introduced to the elementary concepts on probability theory (probability measures, mathematical expectation, etc.), statistical inference, simple correlation and regression analysis, common experimental designs and associated analysis of variance, and some nonparametric tests. At the request of the survey some general comments concerning the secondary school mathematics program in particular, were appended to the questionnaires by the social scientists. The majority of the comments expressed the opinion that greater preparation of secondary school students in basic mathematics is very necessary and mathematics should be mandatory for all students. However, there are some reservations about the type and depth of statistics to be taught at high school level. It was generally felt that only the elementary topics in statistics could be taught with the intention of showing the secondary school student that statistics inter alia, is an integral part of most social science programs. Complete and detailed statistics courses could be left to the colleges and universities by which time the relevance of statistics to the social sciences becomes clearer and the subject can be easily integrated into a specific social science major. �12. Mathematics and statistics have become part and parcel of most social science programs. Several recent publications in the social sciences clearly show this to be the case. The growth of a scientific methodology in the social sciences, the development of computer technology and the magnitude and complexity of the real-world problems have all led to the adoption of quantitative approaches to problem solving. These developments require substantial mathematical skills in the arts student, just as much as the pure science student must develop some skills in the social sciences if his or her scientific endeavours are to have any relevance to the more immediate problems of the real world. ...., Scale: 1 of no use 2 of limited use 3 a useful topic 4 very useful 5 indispensible TOPIC Nn V) V) u ·e0 C: >, '; C. l'CS OQ.I •r-U 0) •r-Q.I .c: s.. 0 0 I.LI (.!J u Q.I ....,c: ,--,OU 0..V') ~ 0 0 .c: u >, V) a.. ol:S >, 0) 0 >,.0) 0 0 C. ,- 0 0 s.. •,-.C: 0...., 0 C: U') c:( TOPIC MATHEMATICS TOPIC NO. 0.

SOLUTION TO PREVIOUS PUZZLE: FLIERS, STINGERS AND BITERS �13. CHALLENGES TO FISHERY RESOURCE by: Professor W. Momot Lakehead University Although fisheries management has existed as a discrete discipline for only 40 years, there has been a greater impact on our fishery resources during this short time than in the past six thousand years of recorded history. While the burgeoning populations of the third world depend increasingly on fish as a source of protein, the fish supply is decreasing. The annual world fish catch has failed to increase for the second time since World War 11. Latest figures gathered by the F AO, the food and agricultural organization of the United Nations, show that the world catch of all species for 1972 was 65.6 million metric tons, down 4.1 million tons from the previous year. The need for protein has led to fierce international competition for the ocean's fishery resources. Many traditional fishing grounds are harvested so intensively that some of our most important commercial species have been thoroughly over-exploited. Much of the declining fish catch in the United States and Canada can be directly traced to increased competition from foreign fleets. This has occurred in the haddock fisheries of the north Atlantic. Despite establishment of the International Commission for Northwest Atlantic Fisheries, which deals with the problems created when several nations exploit a common resource in international waters, satisfactory regulatory action has not been attained. As traditional fisheries decline the fishing nations of the world turn to other resources, and the same pattern of over-exploitation is repeated again and again. Even such oceanic fisheries as that for the Pacific salmons, Pacific halibut, and tropical tunas, which have yielded substantial catches over the past few decades, are being placed under more and more pressure. Another facet of this intense competition is the attempt by some coastal nations to limit access to their offshore resources by extending their coastal jurisdiction to the edge of the continental shelf or to some other fixed point usually given as 200 miles offshore or 200 meters in depth. This is true not only of underdeveloped countries but also of traditional fishing nations such as Iceland, whose entire ANAGE ENT economy is dependent on its offshore cod fishery. Canada has also threatened similar action. Several international incidents have been directly tied to the problem of sharing a fisheries resource or to disputes over conflicting uses of a resource within a given area, for example, the conflict between United States lobster fishermen and Russian trawlers off the New England coast. In a few cases a fishery is regulated by treaty. This is true for the Pacific salmon which is shared by the United States, Canada and Japan. However, si nee the treaty only governs these three nations, what happens when other countries not regulated by any agreements attempt to share this resource? The problems resulting from international conflicts over marine fish resources are among the most challenging and complex we can define for the renewable resource manager. Because of their need for protein, aquaculture of food fishes constitutes an important resource for the underdeveloped nations of the world. However, many of these countries already have an extensive development of these resources. As poorly developed nations attempt to raise their standard of living, they will put greater and greater demands on protein sources such as grain crops, fish meal and even beef cattle. Thus, they will come into direct competition with more affluent countries. For European nations which depend on imports of meat or high protein feeds to raise beef or dairy cattle such competition will become a serious problem. Though Canada and the United States produce enough food for their own use, how can they morally disregard the needs of four-fifths of humanity? In addition, they are caught up in the international balance-ofpayments problem and numerous treaty obi igations. Thus, the fisheries resources of the world remain unalterably tied to questions of moral, political, and social values. An even greater problem facing freshwater and coastal estuarine resources is the continuous degradation of the environment and the concomittant changes in the fish populations. Although we do not directly consider the well documented problem of pollution and its effects on aquatic organisms, it is certainly important in many of our fisheries. It has had a direct bearing on the development of certain �14. fisheries resources such as the Great Lakes fisheries, notably in Lakes Ontario and Erie. However certain fisheries in the upper Great Lakes have also been affected. In view of these serious problems, the need for recreation may seem of diminished importance. Yet it continues to dominate the inland freshwater fisheries of the affluent western world. In island waters, sport and commercial fisheries are often in direct competition for a common resource and even when they compete for different resources within a commonly shared area, conflicts are just as serious. The Great Lakes fisheries constitute an outstanding example of this sort of conflict. Regulation of these fisheries is made even more complex since jurisdiction is both international and interstate. Inland sport fisheries are also faced with a myriad of other problems. The development of an _indu~trialized, urban society with a seemingly insatiable demand for recreational space has created a paradoxical situation; the masses of modern man are densely concentrated while the resources are usually located at great distances from these population centres. However, with improvements in transportation and the general affluence of the public even once remote resource bases are hard put to produce satisfactory recreational experiences. Fishery managers are thus faced with the task of providing satisfactory. yields and dealing with the incremental and continuous degradation of existing resources. Certain resources such as streams continue to be degraded at a rate, which if continued, will soon make them a rarity as a fishery resource. The construction of impoundments have created new fishery resources, yet their management remains quite primitive. Of immediate concern is the loss of existing fishable waters near urban centers. The increasing demand for such waters continues to tax the most imaginative and creative minds in the field of fisheries administration. Finally, where demand is greater than supply, certain special interst groups usually bring pressure on administrators to propose legislation favouring their use of the resource. This tends to exclude the less organized, more general sportsman. Attempts to restrict both the harvest and the use of a resource to special interest groups continues to be one of the most challenging problems in sport fishery management. Coastal marine fisheries are faced with many of the same problems as inland freshwater fisheries. In addition to the pollution of the environment, there is an increasing demand for salt water based recreation plus conflicts over the commercial and/or sport use of many marine fish and shellfish. Thus, the cha I lenges facing the fishery manager are as complex, formidable and numerous as any in the field of renewable natural resources. They include the major problems confronting man today: over-population of the third world, the stark reality of protein starvation for four-fifths of humanity, insidious and incremental destruction of the world's natural resources at a time of resource scarcity, increasing competition between wealthy and developing nations for the resources that remain and the psychological impact of coping with a technological world at a time when the safety valve provided by outdoor space is vanishing or being altered. Even though advances in science and technology have been the cause of many of these problems, they can also be used to formulate effective solutions. However, the proper application of these solutions will also depend on the social and political wisdom of mankind. We are on the verge of spectacular breakthroughs in the field of ecosystem manage- ment, but man's greatest achievement will be in finding the social and political answers to make the "wise" use of his renewable natural resources a reality for succeeding generations. I. and 11/11/75 �15. TH RI by L. Mathemaki, Professor of Mathematical Marriage Counselling Most mathematics has its roots in very practical problems and, for most of us, one very practical problem we have all encountered ·- and some of us have solved - is: "how many acquaintances must one have in order to get married without undue competition?". I will pose this problem in a typical idealized way: we will consider a set B of boys, and set G of girls; each boy wishes to marry an acquaintance from G; perhaps a boy will not know all the girls in G. Bigamy will not be allowed, and we wish to attain the typical male-chauvinist goal that all the boys get married, without regard for left-over girls. Let's consider an example: we have four boys, improbably named I, 2, 3, and 4. Each boy knows some girls, any one of whom he would not mind marrying. Let us call the girls A, B, C, D, and suppose the acquaintances are Boy 1 2 3 4 His acquaintances A A,B B,C A,C,D, If all the boys are to be married, 1 must marry A, so 2 must marry B, 3 must marry C, and 4 must marry D. In this case, all the boys can get married, and in fact there is only one possible way they can pair off. Another example: suppose the 'acquaintance table' is: Boy His acquaintances 1 2 3 4 A,B A,B A,B A,B,C,D, In this case marriage is impossible: the boys I, 2, 3, only have two girls to choose from. Thus we see that sometimes marriage is possible and sometimes it isn't. The marriage problem is simply to determine conditions which will guarantee the possibility of marriage. To solve the problem, let's return to the general situation - the two sets B,G - and suppose all the boys can be married off. Consider any set C of boys from B (that is, consider any subset C of B) and denote by F (C) the set of those girls from G each of whom knows a boy in C. For instance, in our first example we have F(3) = (B,C); F(1,2) = (A,B), F(2,3,4) = (A,B,C,D,), and so on. We have assumed ail the boys can be married off; thus no matter what C is, F (C) must contain the (potential) wives of the boys in C, and since different boys have different wives (the nobigamy condition), there are at least as many girls in F(C) as there are boys in C. So we have the assertion: if marriage is possible then, for each C ~ B, F(C) contains at least as many elements as C. THE SURPRISING THING IS: the converse of our assertion is also true. Given any sets B,G of boys and girls, if F(C) contains at least as many girls as there are boys in C, for every Cs 3, then al I the boys can be married off. The proof of this is very tricky indeed - it proceeds by induction on the number of boys in B. It would be a worthwhile problem for a good grade 13 student to attempt; at least it illustrates that induction is not just a turn-the-crank method involving the summation of finite series! Of course, such a proof only works for a finite number of boys, so it then is natural to ask: what happens if B contains an infinite number of boys? Consider an example: ca I the boys 1,2,3,4, .... the girls 1*,2*,3*,4*, .... and suppose the acquaintances are: 1. knows all the girls 2. only knows 1 * 3. only knows 2* 4. only knows 3* and, generally, if n > 1, n only knows (n-1) *. Every set C of boys knows as many girls as there are boys in C; in fact, if 1 is in C, then F(C) contains all the girls. But marriage is impossible - 2 must marry 1*, 3 must marry 2*, . . . leaving no one for that extremely popular boy 1. �16. Thus the condition that worked for the finite situation won't work in this case; the next step would be to get some compromise. It turns out that if the condition holds, and each boy only knows a finite number of girls, then marriage is possible. The proof of this seems to require some very profound mathematics indeed; it was first proved in 1949, and subsequent generalizations now constitute a fairly substantial body of knowledge "the theory of transverals and representative sets". TWO MORE PROBLEMS: (1) The problem of the monks: this was first posed by Balzac. We have two sets, a set M of monks, and a set A of non-monks; each monk has acquaintances in A, and he wishes to establish a 'harem' consisting of his acquaintances, of a particular size, and disjoint from the other harems. Under what conditions can he do this? It turns out that this is just a disguised marriage problem: replace each monk by as many boys as he wants members in his harem, and seek conventional marriages. (2) The friendship problem: this appears unrelated to the marriage problem We consider a party at which each pair of persons has a common acquaintance (including the possibility that a pair know each other). Then, someone at that party knows everyone! The only proof I know of is pretty complicated - in fact, it turns the problem into a problem in a peculiar geometry. Can anyone furnish a nice neat elementary proof? True or False? Carotid: one of the two great arteries that carry blood to the head. The name is derived from karoo (= stupefy), compression of the carotid arteries being thought to produce stupefication. Carotene: one of the carotenoid pigments common in plants (and particularily abundant in carrots). True or False? Ammeter: a current-measuring device. Most modern ammeters are of the moving coil type developed during the 19th century. The current to be measured is passed through a rectangular coi I of many turns of wire pivoted between two jewelled bearings in a magnetic field. The interaction between the current and the magnetic field exerts a torque which turns the coil against a spring. The angle through which the coil rotates is then a measure of the current in the wire. The sensitivity of the instrument is set by the strength of the magnetic field, the construction of the coi I (size of wire, number of turns and area of coil) and by the strength of the restoring spring. An external circuit can easily be used to reduce the sensitivity of a meter as can be seen in the diagram:- In this circuit, only the fraction R ( R + r) of the current I, flows through the ammeter, A. No external circuit, however, can be used to increase the sensitivity. Carob: leguminous evergreen Mediterranian tree (and its pod and seeds). The large red pods have been used for food for animal and man since prehistoric times. It is believed that it may have been the "locust" eaten by John the Baptist in the wilderness. The seeds are reputed to be extremely uniform in size and weight and to have been used as weight standards. They are believed to be the origin of the carat which is now the measure of weight for precious metals and jewels. �17. HAT IS TOPO OGY? by:S. A. Naimpally, Lakehead University, Thunder Bay. As with any subject it is quite difficult to give a precise definition of Topology. Topology means different things to different people but broadly speaking it deals with continuity. The terms continuous, continuity etc. are used often in day-to-day language, and the purpose of this little article is to explain how they are made precise in Mathematics. Mathematicians have been struggling for centuries to give a precise meaning of continuity, and although a satisfactory definition was given in the middle of the nineteenth century by Weierstrass and Heine, a very simple approach was first suggested by the great Hungarian mathematician F. Riesz in 1908. We will use Riesz's approach via the concept of nearness which is one of the most important concepts in the whole of mathematics. The beauty of nearness is that it is simultaneously simple and rigorous. Let us take a simple example. Suppose Paul is a friend of the Russel family. If Paul continues to be a friend, then we say that the friendship is smooth or continuous. If there is a quarrel between Paul and the Russels, we say that the friendship is broken or discontinuous. It is easy to think of many such examples, but rather than do that, we will pursue only a few and arrive at a precise definition of continuity. The statement "Paul is a friend of the Russels" can be simply explained by "Paul is near the Russel family". Here nearness is an abstraction of friendship but it could also represent many other relations. For instance, a phrase which we frequently use in day-to-day language, we may say that "Paul is near the Russel family" provided that Paul lives in their neighbourhood, or Paul is related to the Russel family (Perhaps as an uncle or grandfather). Thus we have the concept of nearness between ' • a person and a family. A question naturally arises as to what properties this nearness relation satisfies? Some of the obvious ones are (i) each member of the Russel family is near the Russel family (we are, of course, considering an ideal family which has no delinquents!), {ii) No person can be near a non-existent family, etc. However, a subtle difference exists between these day-today examples and the mathematical concept of nearness. Whereas it is possible in life for a person to be neither near nor far (opposite of near), we require our mathematical concept to avoid this possibility. As time passes we all change or we are all transformed. If a person who is near a family remains near we say that this transformation is continuous and, in the contrary case, we say that it is discontinuous. This idea is very basic and is at the root of the concept of limit in Calculus. In Topology one considers "higher" types of nearness too. For example we may say that the Russel family is near the Hardy family, if as it happens so frequently, they are introduced to each other by a common friend or a girl from one family marries a boy from another. This nearness between two families is called proximity, and interestingly enough, even in Mathematics the two most important proximities arise in completely analogous ways. One then considers proximal continuity which is concerned with the preservation of proximity. Finally we have the concept of nearness for several families. For example, several families may be near because they have a common ancestor or they have a common cause and get together for a picnic. Although these ideas are simple, they are at the basis of Calculus, Analysis and a big chunk of Modern Mathematics. They have found applications in Mathematical Biology, Psychology, Econometrics, Physiology of the Brain etc. For further details and references, the interested readers are referred to the following: (1) S.A.

IN UCTIVE JUSTIFICATI N bv: Gunars Tomsons Lakehead University The analysis of scientific reasoning by many able investigators has resulted in the acknowledgement of induction as being a legitimate and indispensable process of framing general hypotheses. This process, according to the analysis consists of formulating a general hypothesis on the basis of observed instances. Thus from the observed mortality of humans one infers the the mortality of any member of any mankind. Since the future seems so open and uncertain, and since a radical change in the constitution of the universe cannot be excluded BS a possibility, it has been thought at times that a justification is needed for a procedure of science that purports to produce hypotheses and laws of nature on the basis of the limited evidence of the senses. One sort of justification that has appeared to be the most promising method of justifying induction is the so-called inductive justification of induction. According to this method one is justified in using induction because observed instances of inductive reasoning have turned out to be reliable. There is certainly some attractiveness in a proposal to justify induction on empirical grounds. It seems that if we can make what we think to be legitimate inferences based on past experiences when we deal with the objects of science, then we should be able to learn from past experiences and make legitimate generalizations even when the objects have a different nature, i.e., when the objects are inductive arguments. However, at first sight there appear to be also good reasons against an inductive justification of induction, especially if we formulate the problem in terms of inductive rules. The justification of induction is then seen as a justification of a rule that permits generalization. Hence, if we want to justify our use of the rule ·through inductive procedures, we seem to be using in our justification a rule the general use of which we are trying to justify. There seems to be something illogical about a procedure of this sort. Nevertheless, Max Black, a present day philosopher interested in inductive logic has argued that inductive justification of induction is possible. 1 Hence I want to present the model for inductive justification F INDU TION of induction and Black's reasons for his position. I shall then show that Black's position is not tenable. Black conceives of the inductive justification of induction in terms of a justification of the inductive rule governing one type of inductive argument. The rule whose justification he seeks is the rule permitting the following argument: Most of the examined A's have been B's, 1 The next A will be B. Observation of the repeated application of the rule r 1, prompts us, according to Black, to produce an argument of the following form: r has usually been successful. , r will be successful in the next instance. 1 An argument. of this sort is called a selfsupporting argument, because the rule r 1, is used in the argument to establish that the next instance of the use of the rule will be successful. The meaning of 'the next instance' in the conclusion has not been made explicit, but Black's examples indicate that by 'the next instance' he means the use of the rule in a non-self- supporting argument. Arguments of the above kind have at times been called second-level arguments, because they refer to arguments whose referents are found in the non-linguistic world. One could, of course, construct second- or third-level arguments; but in the case under consideration we have been presented with only a second-level argument. One may not assume, though, that the rules used in second-level arguments must differ from the first-level arguments merely in virtue of the fact that second-level arguments try to establish facts about the first-level arguments. Moreover, I think that it would be absurd to claim that the inductive r 1 differs in character depending on whether it is employed in firstor second-level arguments. Arguments of the self-supporting kind have been criticized on the grounds that they are circular, i.e., that their premises contain the conclusion, if only as a presupposition or a suppressed premise. Black has provided us with a seemingly decisive argument against the view that these arguments have a suppressed premise asserting the general reliability of the rule r 1 7- �19. He has argued that the argument could no1 have a suppressed premise of this kind because by repeating the conclusion in the premises we no longer have an inductive argument. We have a technically sound argument which is of no use to us because it is circular. But only deductive arguments can be circular. Hence, according to Black, an attack of this sort on the inductive justification of induction cannot but fail. This appears to be a victory over those who allege that inductive justification of induction is circular in the logico-technical sense. However, I am not quite convinced. The attack by Black succeeds only if his opponent is willing to grant that the argument is in fact inductive. But need he grant this? It seems to me that Black's opponent could say that the justification of induction fails because the argument is circular and hence also deductive. On this view, Black only believes that he has provided an inductive argument, whereas in fact he had the suppressed premise that enumerative induction is effective. In other words, he has assumed that which he wants to prove inductively. And if one wants to prove what he assumes to be true in the premises, he has a circular argument whether he intends to use deductive or inductive procedures for proving whatever he intends to prove. From the point of justification of a belief that rests on an inference it certain! y is presupposed that the belief is wel I supported, and in order for a belief to be well supported we must have a reliable rule of inference as wel I as good evidence. Thus the rel iabi I ity of the rule is presupposed. It is true, I think, that we may not be conscious of the belief that our rule is reliable. However, from the point of view of justification of beliefs we have to take into account beliefs that we are not aware of in our day-to-day arguments, if they are relevant to our epistemological order of beliefs. I conclude that Black has not succeeded in showing that the inductive justification of induction is not circular, and I have already indicated that one has good reasons for claiming that it is circular. Black has argued that self-supporting arguments are not circular also on the grounds that the argument succeeds in raising the reliability of the rule. I want to show, nevertheless, that this argument is equally unsuccessful, and I will first reproduce Black's example of a self-supporting argument: (a) In most instances of the use of R in arguments with true premises examined in a wide variety of conditions, R has been successful Hence (probably): In the next instance to be encountered of the use of R in an argument with a 3 true premise, R will be successful. 'R' stands for the following rule: To argue from "most instances of A's examined in a wide variety of conditions have been B" to (probably) 77he next A to be encountered will be 8" Black contends that the argument (a) supports rule R by raising the reliability of the rule and hence the subsequent first-level arguments using the rule. The situation can be presented in the following schematic way using these abbreviations: 'a' will represent first-level inductive arguments before the use of the self-supporting argument. 'A' will represent supporting argument the self- 'b' will represent a first-level argument after the use of the self-supporting argument 'A' 'r ' is the inductive rule used in a arguments a 'rb' is the same argument b rule used in 'r ' is the rule used in the sefr-supporting argument The sequence below represents the temporal order of the arguments and the abbreviated argument A is presented directly below the sequence: �20. a1, a2, a3 , ............ ,an, A,b r a was successful A: ------------r A r b will be successful According to Black argument A establishes that is more reliable than r , but I do not see tRat this has to be the ca;e, since we do not know much about the reliability of r A. Black has no reason to assume that his second-level induction will perform as expected since in proving the conclusion we have assumed that r A will perform satisfactorily; we certainly have no inductive evidence in support of the reliability of r A. Some arguments are in order also with respect to Black's concept of the degree of reliability of the rule. Black conceives of the strengthening of rules and arguments as follows: r successes differs from rule to rule. But why should an inductive rule increase or decrease in reliability depending on the ratio of past successes? Our confidence may perhaps increase if we see the rule succeed, but to say that our confidence is increasing is not to say that the reliability of the rule is increased. I conclude that Black's attempts to provide inductive justification of induction have not succeeded. Moreover, I have supplied reasons which show that inductive justification of induction is implausible. 1. Let us assume that the following argument b using the rule r has the strength 4/5 or 8/10: Argument b 4/5 of examined A's are B's Next A will be B Given appropriate observational evidence we can construct a self-supporting argument: Argument A 9/10 of examined arguments using rule r were successfu I Next use of r will be successful This argument entitles us to say that the degree of strength of the ruler b is 9/10. Hence we should increase the strength of the argument b to 9/10. I already indicated why I do not think that Black has shown that the reliability of the rule would be increased, but Black has not really explained why we are entitled to speak about degrees of reliability of the rule. It may be plausible to talk about degrees of strength of an argument as a function of the amount of evidence available. However, is it plausible to say that rules have varying degrees of reliability? Of course, three different rules could conceivably have distinct degrees of reliability, if we should find that the percentage of past M.

Weir, Lakehead University, Thunder Bay One consequence of the increased standards of living experienced by most industrial countries is the rapid increase in the volume of solid waste. Wrapping of foods to reduce contamination and prevent deterioration has brought many social benefits, which at present tend to outweigh the disadvantages of having to dispose of the packaging materials after use. Plastics are also replacing conventional containers, like glass and ceramics to an increasing extent. One needs only to look around the shelves of a supermarket to see polyethylene detergent and bleach containers, polyvinylchloride (P.V.C) shampoo and edible oil containers and polystyrene beverage cups. The advantages of these materials are obvious ease and cheapness of formation of variously shaped containers, favourable mechanical properties (non-brittle) and their light weights. However, the steadily increasing proportion of plastic wrapping materials and non-returnable plastic containers in domestic and industrial wastes is now causing major disposal problems in many parts of the world. A recent survey shows that three polymers account for 90% of municipal plastic waste. These are: polyethylene (38%), (31%), and polystyrene (21 %) ; the remaining 10% is composed of varying amounts of polypropylene, polyesters, polyvinylidene chloride, and cellulose acetates and butyrates. Unlike cellulosic packaging materials, like paper, the plastics mentioned above are not bio-degradable (i.e. capable of being broken down, ultimately to CO2 and H 20, by microorganisms), hence they tend to be very persistent in the environment. Lack of biodegradability can be attributed to three typical characteristics of the polymers most used in packaging. ( 1) The polymers are largely hydrophobic, and hence wettability by polar molecules, like water, a prerequisite for many biological reactions, is extremely low. (2) Permeabilities of these polymers to gases like oxygen are very low, and thus the efficiencies of many bio-processes are greatly impaired. (3) Molecular weights of these materials must be high to give them adequate mechanical strength. However, micro-organisms tend to attack at the of large molecules, and since the number of these ends is inversely proportional to the molecular· weight, it follows that the rate of attack on a polyethylene molecule which might be used in packaging (Molecular weight 120,000) will be very low. It .is ironic that the factors which determine the usefulness of these polymers in packaging are precisely the factors which lead to their persistence in the environment. Some typical biodegradability figures, measured on a growth rating scale of 1 to 10, are summarized below. Compound Molecular weight polyethylene polyethylene polyethylene polyethylene Growth Rating 129,000 52,500 13,800 1,350 0 0 1 2 polystyrene polystyrene 87,000 2,100 0 0 polyvinyl chloride 52,000 0 polypropylene 27,000 0 170 5 dodecane (C12H25) The importance of molecular weight can be seen by comparing the various polyethylenes and the chemically similar, non-poymeric molecule dodecane. The above polymers may be rendered bio-degradable, by modification of their hydrophobicities, their permeabilities and by decreasing their molecular wights. This can be achieved simply by exposing photo-degradable forms of these polymers to natural sunlight, or by adding suitable sensitizers to them, the sensitizers also absorbing sunlight, and initiating polymer degradation. It is convenient to discuss the two methods separate I y. �22. Ketone Polymers After two decades of research on the prevention of sunlight degradation of polymers, scientists are applying their results to the design of polymers which will readily undergo sunlight degradation. Chemically, the reactions which lead to the failure of the polypropylene webbing used on lawn chairs, are very similar to these which are involved in the disposal of photo-degradable polypropylene, and in both cases ketonic (or carbonyl) compounds play a critical role. When the carbonyl group, C = 0, absorbs ultra-violet radiation of wavelength around 300 nm, (1nm = 10 - 7 cm) - and natural sunlight contains a small ultra-violet component with wavelengths extending to around 295nm-one of the non-bonding (localized) electrons on the oxygen atom is promoted into an anti-bonding n* - molecular orbital, which results in the delocalization of the electron over the C and O atoms. Such a promotion is referred to as an n >- :r * transition (i.e. transition from an n-type to an anti bonding rr* molecular orbital) and the excited molecule so produced can react by undergoing bond fission adjacent to the C = 0 group. Two distinct processes are possible, and these occur in both polymers and in small molecules. 0 II CH 2 C / "'cH2 / "-. CH2 VCH2 A and it can be seen that both Reactions I and 11 will result in scission of the chain. To make polyethylene photo-degradable, it is necessary to introduce only one ketonic group per thirty carbon atoms in the chain; the fragments produced by photo-fission are potentially biodegradable. Photo-degradable polystyrene and polypropylene are now available commercially (know as "Ecolyte S" and "P" respectively). Ketonic groups are incorporated into these molecules by copolymerization of small amounts of phenyl vinyl ketone. . 0 II CH 2==CH-C-@ The resulting copolymers have the following structures, the ketone groups occuring at random in the chains, e.g. with styrene, CH 3 I C=O /' I " ~ KETOPOLYMER_ ~ II ~ + CH3-C==O RADICALS A+ OLEFJ!IL CH I 3 C=O ~ KETONE Reaction I (better known as the Norrish Type 1 process) results in the formation of two free radicals. A free radical is a species which contains an unpaired electron and which is formed by the homolytic fission of a covalent bond. Reaction 11 ( Norri sh Type 11) involves an intramolecular rearrangement which is accompanied by fission of the molecule if'1to another ketonic compound and an olefin. It can be seen that if a ketonic group is introduced into a polymer chain, exposure to ultra-violet radiation will result in scission of the main chain, ( Reaction 11) and this reaction is employed in one type of photo-degradable polymer. Photo-degradable polyethylene has the structure: Lifetimes of these polymers can be controlled by varying the phenyl vinyl ketone concentration in the copolymers. "Ecolyte S" and "P" were developed by Dr. J.E. Guillet and his co-workers at the University of Toronto. It should be emphasized that in all of the above examples, the physical properties of the photo-degradable polymers are indistinguishable (except for ultra-violet absorption characteristics) from those of the pure homopolymers. (2) Sensitized Photo-degradation An alternative approach to photo-degradable plastics has been made by Dr. G. Scott at the University of Aston, England, and this employs a combination of photo-oxidation and subsequent photo-degredation. Free radicals, like those formed in Reaction I, being electrondeficient species react readily with molecular 1 oxygen in the air-the oxygen molecule exists in a triplet state - to produce peroxy radicals �23. which in turn abstract hydrogen atoms to produce a hydroperoxide and a new radical. The hydroperoxide is a key intermediate, since it absorbs the ultra-violet component of the sunlight, leading to photo-fission of the bonds adjacent to the peroxide (-0-0-) group. The new radicals framed can continue the oxidation process, and a chain reaction can develop. Photo-oxidation of a polymer is illustrated by the following reaction sequence, which incidentally, is the same sequence that leads to the deterioration of the useful properties of polypropylene on exposure to sunlight. RH - R POLYMER CH 2 0 2 -R0 2 - - .

The iron complex, 0 . UV CH 2 LIGHT CH +HO•+CH 2 /'v' -~R_Q_~!fil:.. It can be seen that photolysis of the hydroperoxide will lead to chain scission, and ultimately to destruction of the polymer. One advantage of this system is that the oxidation reactions do not require continuous illumination; hydroperoxides can be formed in the dark, and subsequently decomposed on exposure to sunlight. One disadvantage of the system illustrated above is that the initial production of free radical centers on the polymer is intrinsically very slow, and thus photo-oxidation as such, is not a practical system for photo-disposable plastics. Scott discovered, largely by accident, that initiation of the photo-oxidation could readily be accomplished by adding suitable substances to the polymer. The compounds found most useful in this regard are the dithicarbamate complexes of transition metals (M). M S-C-N [ II s /C2H5] "'-c 2 H5 n is particulary attractive as a photo-activator for degradation of plastics used in the food-stuffs inqustry sine~ it is non-toxic. Yet another group of photo-initiators has been developed by scientists at the National Research Council of Canada, Ottawa. These compounds are aromatic ketones like benzophenone, which absorb 0 II CH 3 - C - @ ultraviolet radiation in the sunlight spectrum to produce excited triplet molecules by n~* transitions. ( In the triplet state the electrons in the n* and n-type molecular orbitals have parallel spins). The triplets have sufficiently long lifetimes to undergo hydrogen abstraction reactions with the polymers, again forming radical centers on the chains, as follows: ( n = 2 or 3 ) Used in high concentrations these molecules act as photo-stabilizers (molecules added to inhibit photo-degradation), but become photoinitiators at low concentrations ( <1%). Initiation is brought about as follows. On exposure to sunlight the photo-initiator is decomposed into free radicals, which react with oxygen in the air to form peroxy radicals, which in turn abstract hydrogen from the polymer chains forming radical centers. The polymeric radicals then undergo oxidation. f r ~ 1· CH3-C-Ph ~ LCH3-C-Phj ~ • 0-H [ CH3-C-R~ -+-RH-CH3-bH-Rh + R• R• + 02-R02 • --R02 H The polymer is then oxidized and the chains broken by exposure of the hydroperoxides to sunlight. �24. THE CO by: Mr. 8. Spenceley, Lakehead University 0 ND ICR OPE the distance between the focal points. From the following simple diagram it is clear that It scarcely needs to be said that the compound microscope is widely used in the teaching of biology, but whether most students have a sufficient understanding of the opera- LENS 1 LENS 2 tion of the microscope is debatable. The purpose of this series of articles is to improve this understanding and to enable students to get more use out of their instruments. One of the important characteristics of an instrument for examining small objects is its magnification. There is a certain amount of arbitrariness about the definitions of magnification. The angular magnification, which is the When the last two equations are combined a type we are concerned with here, is usually simple expression for the effective focal length defined as the ratio of the angle subtended by results:- f=-f1f2 the object at the distance of most distinct 'x, vision to the angle subtended by the object The point of all this is that although it is seen through the instrument.

The first magnifications up to 20x can be achieved using lens (fi), usually called the objective, forms a simple magnifiers but attempts to get higher ,real, inverted image of the object in the focal magnifications are hindered by the aberrations plane of the second lens, the ocular or eyethat always accompany lenses of short enough piece lens. The lateral magnification of the focal length and large enough aperture to be objective is - x,/fi. The second lens is then used useful. as a simple magnifier to look more closely at The compound microscope overcomes this this intermediate image. The angular magnificadifficulty by using a pair of lenses relatively tion of the eyepiece is of course 25/f 2. The well separated.

This is the meaning of the numbers such distance between the lenses is replaced by£, as 1OX or 15X found on oculars. The magnifi- �25. cation of the objective on the other hand depends on the length , and unless this is known and constant the magnification cannot be specified. For this reason microscope manufacturers have standardized the distance . at 160 mm for the great majority of their instruments. For these microscopes it is possible to engrave the objective magnification on the lens barrel, the number is unchanged if the objective is used in a conventional microscope no matter what the country of origin an example of international cooperation that could well be imitated by other apparatus manufacturers. The overall magnification of the compound microscopes used by most schools is simply obtained by multiplying together the magnifications engraved on eyepiece and objective fenses. Another imoortant characteristic of the compound microscope is its resolving power or i ability to distinguish small details. This is not the same thing as magnification; it is relatively easy to get large magnifications, for example by making x, larger, but this does not ensure that more detail is visible. High magnification that is not accompanied by good resolution is called "empty magnification" because the increased image size does not carry any more information about the subject. The image is larger but blurrier. For a microscope of good quality the resolving power is limited by the diffraction of light in the plane of the object under examination; in an inferior instrument it could be limited by ordinary lens defects. A proper treatment of the theory of diffraction in microscopy is beyond the scope of this article, but some of the basic ideas can be conveyed in relatively simple terms. When a beam of light passes an object whose size is comparable to the wavelength of thP light, the beam is diffracted, by which we , mean that some of the Iight on the far side ot the object travels in directions different from the original one. Usually the beam breaks up into several beams - one undisturbed by the object, a pair making a small angle to the original direction, and so on. Two cases are illustrated in the following figures, first a relatively large object and then a small object. The diagrams illutstrate the important idea that the smaller the object is the larger are the diffraction angles, and the larger the object is the smaller are the diffraction angles. The information about the size and shape of the object is carried in the angular spread and relative intensities of the diffracted beams. The size of the object compared to the wavelength is also important in determining the angular spread of the diffracted beams. For an object of a given size the longer wavelengths (the red end of the spectrum) are diffracted through larger angles than the shorter wavelengths (the blue end of the spectrum). If the objective lens of the microscope is small in diameter compared to its distance from the object, the angle it subtends at the object will also be small. If the angle is so small that only the undiffracted beam enters the lens, then it is as if there were no object there at all, since that would also be the only beam in the absence of an object. In order even to detect the presence of the object the Undiffracted Beam Diffracted Diffracted Beams Beams \ =-1 \\f/ ~ Relatively J,1 large Object - _,... 8 t Incident light Undiffracted Beam Diffracted Diffracted Beams ~ .±~ / Smal I Object / ± Incident Light Beams �26 Objective Lens 1st Diffracted Beam e--Object lens must at least be able to accept the first diffracted beams as shown in the next diagram. The limit of resolution of a microscope is therefore the smallest object whose first diffracted beams are just accepted by the objective. Naturally, if more detail is needed than the mere existence of the object, then the lens must be able· to accept more of the diffracted beams. Strictly speaking, the resolving power is related to a quantity called the numerical aperture of the objective lens which is the product of the sine of the half-angle subtended by the lens at the object and the index of refraction of the medium below the lens usually air but sometimes not. The resolving power is the wavelength of the light divided by the numerical aperture - Aln sin ex: • The best~ resolution is obtained by using blue light and by filling the space between the object and the lens with a liquid ofhigh refractive index.

Tamblyn, reported to a meeting of the Bo'ard of Governors on the latest developments in the Clp;rent situation affecting the capital expansion prog,ram of Lakehead University. Capital Projects at Ontario universities are financed primarily through Government funds, which are distributed by means of a formula based on student enrolment. Lakehead University's enrolment justi­ fied the expansion of its physical resources at this time, and planning had proceeded for the construc­ tion 'of a Library extension, a new Academic Build­ ing, an addition to the present athletic complex, and an extension to the University's Power House. All of these projects had been approved by the Board of Governors.· After the question of possible course duplication in the two institutions of post-secondary education in Northwestern Ontario was raised in the press and in the Provincial Legislature, the Government appointed a specia1 sub-committee of the Commission on Post­ Secondary Education in Ontario to examine the sit­ uation. In April 1970 this subcommittee visited Lake­ head University and Confederation College of Ap­ plied Arts and Technology. At that time, the Univer­ sity presented a brief to the Commission detailing its position concerning the continuation of specified diploqia programs at this institution. In 11:tte July of this year the University was informed by the Department of University Affairs that no approval would be given to its Capital Projects by the Department, pending the handing down of the teport of the Commission. In order for these required facilities to be ready when• needed, construction must begin shortly on sorri·� ''.of� tAe' buildings. In a letter to the Deputy Minister ·of University Affairs, Dr. Tamblyn ex­ plained the gravity of the situation, expressed con­ cern about the delay, and asked for early approval of the j;frojects in question. On T\iesday, 15 September, Dr. Tamblyn and four members of the Board of Governors met with the Minister in Toronto and again presented the case on behalf of the University. The Minister promised University officials that the preliminary report of the Commission would be available by October 5th, and that a final settlement of the situation would be reached by October 15th. ' The· President reported to the Board that this delay in construction would be serious but not disastrous. . : ..; In other developments at Wed.'s meeting, the Board of Governors confirmed the awarding of a contract for the extension of the Power House to Stead and Lindstrom Construction Limited. In spite of the difficulties of the present situation it was felt to be essential to proceed with construction of the facility immediately. The University has made a commitmen,t to provide services to the new Re­ gional School of Nursing on the campus and could not meet that commitment without the extension. The Board also authorized the preparation of plans wr th.e 2nd phase of the Athletic Building extension. ,,., J. P. Ryder, Assistant Professor, Department of Biology, will appear on C.K.P.R. Television Wednesday, September 23, 1970, at 8 p.m. Dr. Ryder will participate in the program entitled "The Geese of Canada", and will describe some of the ecology of Ross's Goose, which is the rar­ est and smallest wild foul species in North America. Mr. J. Haggerty, Chairman of the School of Forestry, has received a letter from Mr. J. E. Bothwell, Timberlands Manager of Weyerhaeuser Canada Ltd. During the 69-70 academic year the School of Forestry held a lecture series featuring Mr. Hans Lindberg from Sweden. This was sponsored by a grant of $1,000.00 from the Weyerhaeuser Founda­ tion. Mr. Bothwell noted that they were very im­ pressed with the lectures and enclosed a cheque for another $1,000.00 allowing the School of For­ estry to hold a symposium or some silimar func­ tion pertaining to forestry methods. Dr. J. D. Rabb has been appointed Assistant Pro­ fessor, Department of Philosophy. "Camus Exhibit" The first of a series of exhibitions concerning French Culture, arranged by the Language Depart­ ment was presented in the Aesthetics Gallery this past week. The exhibition consisted of more than 100 photographs, documents and texts representing the life and works of Albert Camus; Nobel Prize winning novelist, dramatist and essayist. The series (available through the aid of the French Embassy in Ottawa), is intended to cover Ap­ ollinaire, French Cathedrals and other topics chosen specifically to coincide with the studies of University French majors, but they also may be of interest to students of thought and literature. Dean Ryan announced the following appointments in the Faculty of Arts office: Miss Marsha Buchik Research and Grants Officer and Mrs. Diane Kelsey, Secretary to the Dean. Both will endeavour to assist you in any way pos­ sible, and can be reached at extension 201. C.U.G.O. Chairman W. J. Hanley urges members of the University community to present their briefs and opinions as soon as possible, (but not later than November 16, 1970). The commission has yet to name a research assistant, however Mr. Hanley expected the incumbent will be on hand early in October. The Lakehead University Alumni Association has announced their new executive for the 70 - 71 term and are as follows: PRESIDENT, Peter Rusak - 622-3212, VICE PRESI­ DENT, Larry Hansen 622-2865, SECRETARY, Mrs. Eleanor Pentick - 622-7014, TREASURER, Dennis Wallace 345-5068, TRUSTEE, Mrs. Betty Coates - 344-2822, MEMBER OF BOARD OF GOV­ ERNORS, Bert Bauman - 623-3379. The first gen­ eral meeting will be held Wednesday, September 30, 1970 in the Faculty Lo·unge. �Miss Purity Special Senate Meeting People are doing a lot of talking about pollution the§e days, but very few seem to be taking constructive steps to stop it. There are exceptions. and "Miss Purity" was not just the exception, but the exceptional. "Miss Purity" was the University of Toronto's entry in the MIT/CALTECH Clean Air Race which was held August 24th to 30th, 1970. She placed first in her class, and in the top 5 overall. At a special meeting of the Lakehead University Senate on Monday, September 14, 1970 a motion was passed ratifying the proposal by the Committee of Presidents of Universities of Ontario to establish an Advisory Sub-committee on Academic Planning. Senate strongly recommended that· the smaller universities, as defined by C.P.U.O. be represented on this committee as they have special problems relating to their growth. The Senate also discussed President Tamblyn's letter to the Deputy Minister of University Affairs concerning the situation affecting the capital expansion projects at Lakehead University. The crew decided that while on their return trip, they would stop off at the Canadian Universities they came to, to promote their ideas. They wheeled into Lakehead University on Monday September 14, for a short while to talk to students. Doug Venn, one of the trio of drivers from. the event, and a student at the University of Toronto, said, "These University stops were a last minute decision, but we felt a necessary one, in that it was an ideal opportunity to present our ideas to people that could ultimately do something with them." As presently constructed, the car uses basically a propane-fuelled LC. engine drive, but can operate electrically on batteries, as a hybrid, and on combined propane/ battery power. The vehicle can be readily converted to gasoline for ft:J.ture studies, when the electric hybrid system will be of even greater value. Student Radio Student Radio has arrived in Thunder Bay. Although the A.M.S. is now looking after the preliminaries. A production, in the future, the spot will be available to all segments of the University. C.K.P.R. 580 am has tentati vely offered a half hour slot on Wednesdays between 7:30 and 8:00 p.m. The initial programs are to be of a general informative nature, however, it is hoped that eventually the discussions will turn to specific current issues. L. U. programming is still in the organizing stages and people are needed for production, announcing, reporting, etc. All interested persons are asked to contact either Art Looye, producer, or Mike Metherell vice-president of programming. They may be reached in room 1009A in the University Centre or by phone at 345-2121, extension 553 or 259. Research & Grants Office Tim Ryan, Dean of Arts, announced this week, the establishment of the Research and Grants Office. The areas of concern of the Faculty's Officer, Miss Marsha Buchik, are: the relation of the Universii,J' to granting agencies; the councelling of professors as to the existence and availability of research funds; and at.her matters. There is a detailed calendar of Granting Agencies for research funds available at the office. The Research and Grants Office is located in the Dean of Arts office and the telephone extension is 201. Weekly Events "Miss Purity" On the cross Canada jaunt, back to University of Toronto, they are using propane and are getting an admirable 16 miles per gallon. They can go 250 miles on a tank. Doug was asked if he had any problems with the low temperatures here in Northwestern Ontario due to our recent cold spell. He stated, "The car had no problems, but the drivers sure did. Because the race was run through the Midwest States, and warmer areas, we did not install a heater, consequently we almost froze the last few nights .without one." Drivers Steve Baker, Juri Ostason and Doug Venn, along with Simon Ng, engineer, Al Venn, special promotions, Ontario Government, and Professor I. W. Smith of University of Toronto were all part of the team that stopped at L.U. They said that the car took about six months to finish and that they were aided by two donations from the estates of two University of Toronto professors, each exceeding $10,000.00 and by financial and material contributions from many individuals and companies. The team members and "Miss Purity" will be taking part in further experimentations and research to further the fight against air pollution. On parting, they asked "What are you doing about it?"

This is the 6th annual Shoeshine Campaign in aid of the Canadian Cystic Fibrosis Foundation Research Fund. The objective this year for the Na­ tional Campaign is $20,000.00, a substantial in­ crease from the $10,000.00 goal of last year. Cystic Fibrosis is a terminal disease of the lungs which affects children at a very young age. The life span of such a child is usually between 12 and 14 years. To treat a child who has Cystic Fibrosis is costly and time-consuming. . "President Tamblyn, Honourary Chairman of L. U. Shiner­ ama and Sean Bortolussi, Shinerama Poster child." In order to stay alive a Cystic Fibrosis child must take as many as 50 pills per day, sleep in a mist tent, and breath aerosol mist through a mask at about 4 hour intervals during the day to dilate the lungs. This procedure along with physiotherapy, aids in loosening and discharging the mucus in the lungs enabling the child to breath more freely. Kaz Miyata, Chairman of the Lakehead University Shinerama Committee reports that approximately 90% of the proceeds go to research, and only 10% go to administrative costs. Kaz urges all students to come out on October 1st to help fight this dis­ ease. Lunches, soft drinks, shoeshine kit, trans­ portation and a dance are all provided free, for the students willing to lend a helping foot. Music Students and Faculty who are interested in Mu­ sic as an extra curricular activity will be pleased to note that the Lakehead Board of Education's Music-Education Department is offering programs each weekday evening in the following areas: Mondays - Orchestral instrumental and orchestra(s) Tuesday - Wind-instruments and concert bands Wednesdays - Choir Thursdays - Explorations in Music (Grade 13 Credit) For information on times, dates, places and other aspects of the programme, contact MUSIC­ EDUCATION DEPARTMENT, RESOURCE CEN­ TRE, 10 SOUTH ALGOMA STREET, THUNDER BAY "P", ONTARIO. Dr. Raymond K. Chow has been appointed Tempor­ ary Lecturer in Physics. There was a meeting of the Senate Library Com­ mittee on Monday, September 21. The following matters were discussed: Library space and space allocation; regulations and fines; and the 1970/71 Readers Guide. Mr. Dan Sudar, Chairman of the School of Library Technology, Lakehead University has been invite? to deliver an address about the role of The Li­ brary Technician in Libraries on October 25 at the British Columbia Library Association Conference, Vancouver, B.C. The address will cover the im­ plications of having well trained librar:y techni­ cians assisting the librarian at the techmcal level thus allowing the professional librarian more time for policy planning. Plagiarism is a problem among all University departments and the policies of these depart­ ments are seldom similar or clearly defined. The English Department has decided to take a firm stand this year and issued in a letter to all students an official policy dealing with Plagiar­ ism. The letter differentiated between Under­ graduate courses, and Honors and Graduate cour­ ses, and consequently adopted two separate r�l­ ings. In Undergraduate Courses, no paper m which plagiarism has been confirmed will be given a grade. If plagiarism is infrequent or inadvertent, the paper will be returned to the student and will be accepted if resubmitted with the proper documentation. If a paper is sub­ stantially the result of plagiarism, the penalty will be failure of the course. In Honors and Graduate Courses, Plagiarism on any recog­ nizable scale will result in immediate expul­ sion from the honors or masters program. It is now possible that other departments will follow the English Department policy, and perhaps a uni­ form ruling will be reached throughout the university. Lakehead University's "Continuing Education" program is offering two courses of special inter­ est to those concerned with the proper use of the environment. The first, "Man and His Environ­ ment" commencing Monday, September 28th, was developed in co-operation with the Ontario Assoc­ iation of Real Estate Boards, and is especially concerned with the urban environment and the problems of planning and land use. Designated to meet the professional upgrading requirements of realtors and appraisers, but also open to the gen­ eral public, this course is very similar to a credit course and will include assignments, tests, and a final examination. The fee is $100.00 and the instructor is Mr. I. G. Davies, Assistant Professor Department of Geography. The second course entitled "The Endangered En­ vironment" is of a more popular nature and does not include assignments, tests and examinations. Developed by professors B. A. M. Phillips of the Department of Geography and K. W. Hearnden of the School of Forestry. "The Endangered Envir­ onment" stresses a general understanding of the nature of the earth's surface and specific consider­ ation of the uses and abuses by man of the forest, water, and soil resources of this region. The course commences Wednesday, September 30, and is divided into fall and winter terms of twelue weeks each. Fees for the course are $15.00 per term for adults and $3.00 per term for students. Students may enrol for both courses on the first day of class. For further information and the "Con­ tinuing Education" brochure outlining all non-credit fall and winter courses contact the Director of Ex­ tensions, Lakehead University, telephone 345-2121, Extension 210. �Dr. Dominic Lam Weekly Events Mr. D.

[81<8h88d University Oct. 2, 1970 Volume 3, No. 4 Pottery □ Last year Lakehead University began to set up a pottery studio on the campus. It is now reason­ ably well-equipped, and it is anticipated that by Christmas there will be three good electric wheels and a pug mill, as well as the present equipment - a kiln, lots of small tools, and quantities of clay and glaze material. The plans for a pottery studio at the University for this year were discussed at a meeting of local potters held in the Aesthetics Lounge, Lakehead University on September 21. "Spinning Wheel" The public were invited to use the present fac­ ilities on a two-week trial basis. Dr. Eames, of the Mathematics Department, who led the discus­ sion, pointed out that it was not the intention of the University to form a separate pottery club, but rather to provide the equipment and instruc­ tion on an individual basis: pottery, as distinct from most of the visual arts, involved a high initial cost, so it is reasonable' to provide cen­ tral common facilities, and this is what the University intended to do. Mrs. J. Ashby, whc ran the very successful pottery course at the Free North Festival, has again been engaged to instruct. It was pointed out that her course would be rather unusual for the Lakehead in that it would not begin with discussion of ceramic philosophy nor end with an exhibition. The Pottery will be open Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 1:30 to 5 p.m. and Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 7:00 to 10:00 p.m. Wild Rice □ Dr. S. R. Zingle, Assistant Professor in the School of Forestry, recently has been awarded another research grant from the Ontario Depart­ ment of Lands and Forests in the amount of $6,500. Dr. Zingle is working on an ARDA Project on the propagation and management of Wild Rice in Northwestern Ontario. ARDA stands for Agriculture and Rehabilitation Development Act and the ob­ ject of this project is to investigate the possibil­ ities of providing better employment and higher income for the Indian population from Wild Rice. Dr. Zingle has concentrated his research on underwater soils and on semi-terrestrial sites to find out about the natural position of Wild Rice stands in the landscape of Northwestern Ontario. Comparison is made to stands in neigh­ bouring Manitoba, Minnesota and Wisconsin. Such study provides basic information for the manage­ ment of Wild Rice as well as of fish and wildlife in Northwestern Ontario.

Research Team does Limnogeological Study on Lake Superior □ Dr. Mothersill, of the Department of Geology, has just completed the second phase of a four phase Limnogeological study of Lake Superior. This research project is being sponsored by the Canada Centre for Inland Waters whose headquarters are in Burlington. Dr. Mothersill will give a paper on "Limnogeology on Eastern Lake Superior" at the Annual Geological Society of America Meeting, November 12, 1970 in Milwaukee. A preliminary report was completed last summer in the "Soo" area. So far, the strongest indicator of pollution was discovered this summer near Chippewa. Weekly Events October 2 October 3 October4 October 5 "Digging up Dirt" This study is to examine the sequence and stratification of recent layers of sedimentary deposits and bottom fauna. Assisting Dr. Mothersill are three Geology students, Rich Middaugh, Roy Shegelski, Pat Fund and two technicians Pat Zurkan and Val Mothersill. They used the 150 foot Department of Transport vessel, Port Dauphine for studies in Thunder Bay, Black Bay, and Isle Royal and set up station grids where they took a grab sample and a core sample. After the EH, PH and temperature were taken an analysis of the bottom fauna and sediment were done. So far the research team has found six new species of animal life that were not previously known to exist. Dr. Mothersill said that the total amount in grants for this project is close to $60,000. A preliminary report was completed last summer between the "Soo" and Michepicoten. The strongest indication of pollution was discovered this summer near Chippewa.

This year the C.I.D.A. (Canadian In­ ternational Development Agency of the Federal Government) sponsored eight students from under­ developed countries; three from Pakistan, four from Thailand and one from Nigeria. Seven stu­ dents have already arrived and have become full members of the Lakehead University community. Dr. K. J. Charles, Chairman of the Lakehead University Economics Department said "This is the only university in Canada where a comparable program exists, and that this academic venture and act of international technical assistance sheds lustre both on Lakehead Univerttity and on the City of Thunder Bay." Campus Notes □ Field studies presently being conducted by sev­ eral members of the Biology Department are supply­ ing new and important information on the ecology of the plants of Thunder Bay District. Some of the research on endemic food plants are of an applied nature and indeed economically important. Dr. Paul Barclay, who is a plant ecologist and microclima­ tologist is investigating physical and biological en­ vironmental aspects of blueberries and wild rice with a view to evaluate known methods of manage­ ment practices. The blueberry study was originally developed in the Nakina area several years ago and is a continuing program supported by a grant from the Department of Indian Affairs. The wild rice pro­ gram is also one of long duration which began with a survey of the environment of wild rice on Sibley Peninsula. An effort is now being made to relate wild rice to temperature factors as well as pH and conductivity ions. To facilitate the program, Dr. Tamblyn has permitted the construction of a small rice paddy on Lakehead University campus. During the past summer Dr. Barclay has also initiated a study on the effects of urban pollution on epiphytes of our region. □CUGO Mr. Monaghan, Dean Ryan, Dr. Charles and Mrs. S. Yupho . A formal reception was held for the international students on Wednesday, October 7, 1970 at 6:00 p.m. in the Nor-Shor Motor Hotel to officially welcome them to the University. Mr. Monaghan, Acting Director of the Training Division of the Canadian International Development Agency in Ottawa came especially to attend this function. Mr. Monaghan spoke to the gathering of Students, Deans, The Mayor, University Officials, and Press, about C.I.D.A. and its relationship with Dr. Charles and Lakehead University. He commended Dr. Charles and the Dean of Arts in their active roles in setting up the course. Upon completion of their year, the students will return to their home coun­ tries and work with their government as consultants on development p:i:ojects. Education OW. Pitman and L. Dennis spoke to a full house on Wednesday, October 7, at the Faculty of Education Theatre on many aspects of education and change. Mr. Pitman is an M.P.P. from Peterborough, and was defeated in his bid for the Ontario N.D.P. Leadership last weekend in Toronto. Mr. Pitman, himself a teacher, stressed the importance of dedication, and professionalism. When asked about his opinion on continuing the separate schools to Grade 12 and 13, he said "Why not?, They (the Catholics) have as much right to the kind of educa­ tion they want, as we do to what we desire." The morning session ran overtime due to the active involvement by many students. In the afternoon period, Mr. Dennis, co­ author of "Living and Leaming" talked of the great "commitment" we all have to make to institute meaningful change in education. Mr. Dennis, also urged "The money for education has to be obtained from some other source than the taxpayers. We must find alternatives, its just costing too much money and we should not expect the people to pay the whole shot." Chairman W. J. Hanley announces that Mrs. Jean McComb has been appointed - search Assistant to the Commission. Her o e is ocated atUC1003E and her telephone extensio 1s 591.. Professor Hanley indicated that thre s 1Ss1ons have been received by the Commission thus far, and five others have been promised. Nevertheless, the response to date has not been as encouraging as expected. "If people have opinions and ideas about how this institution should be governed, then now is the time to speak up about them". Open hearings of briefs and opinions are ex­ pected to begin within a few weeks. d □Two professors in the Faculty of Education have recently had student text books published. Mr. J. D. Frame has had a book published by Scholastic-Tab Publications entitled "Three Poems by Browning", and Mr. J. D. Bates has had a book• let published by Ryerson Science in Action entitled "Studies for Woodlands", for elementary school pupils. □ Dr. Tamblyn is pleased to announce the promo­ tion of Dr. E. Eager, Department of Political Sci­ ence, to Full Professor. □ Four members of the Biology Department (Barclay, Graham, Northcott, and Ryder) and a number of biology students attended the "interna­ tion summit meeting on the destruction .of wilder­ ness environment" at Quetico Provincial Park, Saturday, October 3. The meeting was organized by the Algonquin Wildlands League and attracted representatives from major conservation groups in Canada and the United States as well as a num­ ber of biologists from other Ontario Universities. Two of the lumber companies who hold cutting rights inside the park participated, but invitations to Ontario Premier John Robarts and the senior government officials most concerned were declined. A resolution was prepared at the meeting and will be presented to the Ontario Government. The motion protested licence trading betwei:n timber companies in the park and requested the government to reclassify the park as a class A Wilderness Park (in which no commercial exploitation would be per­ mitted) and in the meantime the government to de­ clare a moratorium on logging operations in the park until the possibilities of reclassification are in­ vestigated. �Weekly Events World Champions at L.U. □The Lakehead University Nor'Westers will play host to the K.

October 23, 1970 Volume 3, No. 6 Wright Commission □Representatives of the Commission on Post­ Secondary Education in Ontario visited Thunder Bay last week to discuss with members of the Lakehead University and Confederation College communities the points and recommendations contained in the Commission's preliminary draft report. Although the major recommendation of the report - that there be some form of reorganization of the University and College into one institution - was acceptable in principle to the Senate, Board of Gov­ ernors, L.U.F.A. executive, administration and most other elements of the community, many other points, explicit and implicit, were unacceptable. The meetings on Thursday, October 15th, clarified several points and removed the apparent threat to the University's status. In a letter to Dr. D. T. Wright, Chairman of the Commission, President W. G. Tamblyn summarized the results of Thursday's discussions as follows: 1. The current undergraduate and graduate program offerings of Lakehead University would in no way be adversely affected by the proposed reorganization of the two institutions. New graduate programs should however be designed to bear special relation to region and its need. 2. The essential place of research activity is guaranteed, although in the future applied research and research bearing special relation to the region should be emphasized. This emphasis is reflective of provincial and national trends and policies. 3. In any reorganization of Lakehead University and Confederation College, the University, with all its traditional rights and privileges, would be main­ tained. 4. The Commission will rewrite its report, making every effort to correct misleading or incorrect dataand statements. 5. In its rewritten report the Commission will avoid specifying the details of any suggested re­ organization, but rather will make general rec­ ommendations as to the procedure the two institu­ tions might follow to achieve such reorganization. The specifics of any reorganization will be deter­ mined by representatives of the institutions con­ cerned. 6. In recognition of the needs and requirements of Northwestern Ontario, the Commission's report will recommend that financial funding over and above formula grants be provided for special projects. 7. Prior to the visit to Thunder Bay by the Com­ mission in early December of this year, copies of the revised report will be circulated to mem­ bers of the University community. This revised report will be circulated as soon as possible in order to minimize the anxiety by all members of the community that insufficient time was provided The Commission indicated that it would be visiting Thunder Bay on December 3, 1970, to hold open hearings, at which time members of the University community will be able to discuss the revised draft report as well as any other items of interest relative to post-secondary education in Ontario. Campus Notes □ Mrs. Liny Lyss, Associate Professor, School of Nursing was invited to attend the annual conference on Personal Growth and Group Achievement spon­ sored by the Registered Nurses Association of' Ontario from September 25th to October 1st, 1970. Mrs. Lyss, whose special area of interest is group dynamics, participated in this conference at Honey Harbour, Ontario, as a trainer. □ Under the sponsorship of the Purchasing Manage­ ment Association of Canada, a four-day seminar entitled ''The Control of Inventories is being given at Lakehead University October 23-24 and November 6-7. This in-depth study has aroused considerable interest, and both senior and middle management will attend, participants coming from as far afield asWawa. The P.M.AC. has invited Professor Walter Crowe of the School of Business Administration at this University to present the seminar. He is at present active in consultancy work in Inventory Control both locally and in Toronto, and was the first recipient,. in this University, of a Government of Ontario Department of Health Award for research into hospital supply problems. □Dr. R. G. Rosehart of the School of Engineering attended the 20th Annual Canadian Society of Chem­ ical Engineers Conference in Sarnia, October 19 21, and contributed to the proceedings by presenta­ tion of a technical paper. Dr. Rosehart has recently joined Lakehead Univer­ sity from the University of Waterloo where he com­ pleted his Ph.D. in the field of Chemical Engineer­ ing. His research interests are environmental prob­ lems and areas of engineering of interest to local industries including instrumentation development, and flow and heat transfer involving various pulp and paper operations. One of the most interesting topics at the Samia Conference was that of Mercury Pollution and unfortunately the fish of Thunder Bay were included in one presentation. DA representative of the clergy will be on campus each weekday, Monday to Friday, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Their headquarters will be U.C. room 1011 but primarily they will be in the main cafeteria. Should you wish an appointment you can make same with the A.M.S. secretary. □Dean Ross, Professor A. Bruley and Dr. Walter Cook recently received $9,500 as a contribution to their work on the composition and combustion prop­ erties of "black liquor" from Kraft Paper Mills. The Research Grant was awarded by the Department of Energy and Resources Management of Ontario. □Mrs. Susan de Haas has been appointed Sessional Lecturer in the Department of Languages. �for llrar, Use 0., Successful Arts Seminars □Lakehead University certainly is not slow in taking the initiative and in exploring aspects of education neglected in most universities. Twice in the past week the university has broken with precedent. In most institutions of higher learning today the emphasis is on anything but teaching yet the Faculty of Arts at Lakehead University has just completed a seminar for its professors on the Improvement of our University Teaching, given by W. Trimble. Mr. Trimble, author of "Understanding the Canadian Economy" was formerly Professor at the University of Toronto, and is now Dean of Professional Development at Humber College. In these days of increased costs, it is more important than ever that university professors become highly efficient in all aspects of teaching so as to make optimum use of the :finances invested in higher education in this province and, to make the most effective use of students' time. Moreover, most universities wish to assess and reward a teacher for his skill in teaching, but assessment of this ability is a most delicate matter. It is far simpler to assess the professor in areas such as research and administration and many university professors have, in the past, been rewarded and promoted almost solely on such criteria. This practice hardly encouraged the development of efficient teaching methods in our universities. The purpose of the seminar was to extend effective teaching techniques, glean new ideas, see different solutions to the same problems, facilitate the cooperative planning of instructional programs, share 'know-how' in building the best educational environment and learning experience for the student. In short to make Lakehead University a better learning experience for students and faculty. At the conclusion of the seminar, Dean Ryan announced that an anonymous donor has given money for a Faculty of Arts Award to be awarded annually, "For recognition of singular accomplishment in leading students to knowledge and understanding, and of dedication and intellectual integrity representative of the highest ideals of the profession. To an individual who has taught at least one course during the academic year." The award is to consist of a framed citation and $100. The University Faculty of Arts has also completed a seminar for students on "How To Do Well At University." It was realized that, contrary to opinion students who fail at university (50% of those entering according to a recent report) do not fail because of lack of talent or intelligence; they fail simply because they do not know how to apply themselves or how to study. Thus, the Seminar had according to Dean Ryan, two major objectives: 1. To motivate the student and give him assistance on how to motivate himself. 2. To introduce him to the study skills: reading, listening, scheduling, taking of examinations, using the library and writing essays and papers. to 10 p.m. to October 30. This exhibition is being circulated by the Art Gallery of Ontario for the National Film Board of Canada. It is called the "Animated Film" and consists of drawings, photostats, 16 mm prints, and slides. "The exhibition is presented for circulation in Ontario by the Extension Department of the Art Gallery of Ontario as a tribute to· the Canadian Film Animators who have won international acclaim through their artistry, and to Norman McLaren whose contribution to the animated film is inestimable. The unique and comprehensive survey consists of story-boards, original drawings, photographs and descriptive texts selected and arranged to show the process of animation and the variety of techniques used." This is the first showing of this exhibition in the province after its successful premiere in Toronto. The exhibition was arranged to be on LU's campus by the Aesthetics Society and was gratefully sponsored by the Faculty of Arts and Dean Ryan.

M. Fleming, Chairman, Board ·of. 'Governors, Lakehead Uni­ versity: "We note with interest your - editorial headed "Force the Marriage", contained in the October 20th issue of your newspaper. This editorial is so erroneous in content and misleading in purpose that on behalf of the Board· of Governors of Lake­ head University, I am forced to write this letter. In the - first place it ' shows a complete lack of understanding on the part - of the Toronto press and generally the people of Southern Ontario towards the problems...of Northern and Northwestern Ont­ ario. - To those of us who have lived most of our lives in these regions it is extremely exasperating to have people from Toronto spend one or two days in this area and suddenly become "experts" rela­ tive to our problems. This has been the case with both your own reporter and with the committee to which you refer. the region by sending out faculty members to at least twelve communities and approximately 400 students are enrolled in these courses. Therefore, the people in the region are not being overlooked and, in ,fact, no other University in the Province covers - such a huge region. Your statement that "the report is a chronicle of mismanagement and waste" is purely your interpretation and one which �o one else who was either involved in its 'preparation or . wh9 has read it would accept. The • Committee indicated on its recent visit that they were concerned with what might become exces­ sive .costs in post-secondary education in the future, given the potential enrolment that they predicted' for the region. 'There was no mention in the report· of either "mismanagement" or "waste" of tax dollars. To use an example of waste,. the fact that "each school has its own library, its own computer system, its own television production fac­ ilities" shows a complete ignorance of the na­ ture and locations - -of the two institutions. The :purpose, the function an(j the need of each of the above examples is entirely different for a University and for a College of Applied Arts and Te�hnology. If the libraries, as an example, contain entirely different types of information for differept purposes, is it a waste to have one in each institution? Does not every University and College in Ontario have its own library? Even so there is co-operation and discussion be­ tween the departments involved to assure as • much compatibility and coordination as is pos­ sible. You finally state that "the representatives of the institutions will undoubtedly balk at the Commit• tee's proposal". Lakehead University has been on re.cord for four years as favouring a single institu­ tion of post-secondary education in Northwestern Ontario. In our submission to the Committee, made in • April of this year, we suggested some form of unification. In our response to the report in ques­ tion, we again stated that we are not opposed to the principle of unification recommended in the report. In your editorial you state "They offer virtu�ly the same diploma courses in four areas." This is not true. Of ninety-six programs offered at the University and twenty-six programs offered at Confederation College there is only a semblance of similarity in one program. In the six Colleges of Applied Arts and Technology in the · Toronto region, I am sure that most of the programs are similar, a1;1 "'ell they might be, but you do not criticize these institutions. In the report referred to there was no mention of duplication of courses. Your references to "Apart from • the millions wasted on manpower and machinery, he found that Northern Ontario, its people and its prob­ lems, were being overlooked" are so vague that it is difficult to answer such ridiculous charges. It should be pointed out, however, that the :financ­ ing of Lakehead University, • both capital and operating, is based on the number of students enrolled and is the same for every University in the Province. Therefore, it is impossible to provide more than the formula allows for our University students and thereby "waste" millions. It should also be pointed out that Lakehead Univer­ sity provides extension programs for the people in Therefore we cannot understand why the Globe and Maii would write such an editorial, so damag­ ing to this institution, without any knowledge of the true facts of the situation. It can only lead us to believe that there is some other motive involved that is not • related to the educational needs of the people of Northwestern Ontario. Camp11s Notes □Mr. Donald , E.

Board of Governors at a meeting last Tuesday. However, further action was curtailed almost immediately when the Deputy Minister of the Department of University Affairs, Dr. E. E. Stewart, informed the University that the Minister has reached a decision to curtail such expenditure of moneys on the programme at this time. Dr. Stewart stated further that the Minister was acting on the recommendation of Dr. D. T. Wright, Chairman of the Commission on Post-Secondary Education in Ontario. Included in the capital projects affected are the $550,000. athletic extension and the $1,100,000. library extension. The Minister has agreed to meet with President W. G. Tamblyn and a delegation from the Board of Governors on Monday, November 2nd, to discuss the matter of the expansion further. At that time, President Tamblyn will again stress that their capital projects are urgently required to meet the needs of existing degree programmes at the University. "It is difficult to comprehend the motives behind the Department's decision when the areas to be served by this expansion presents absolutely no conflict with the statements of the Wright Commission," Dr. Tamblyn stated. He further pointed out that tenders for the construction involved had already been called but that contract awards cannot be made until the Department reverses its present position. This factor alone will affect the community at large by the lost employment opportunities that would have been created at a very critical time for both skilled tradesmen and construction workers. The restriction placed upon faculty and students is reflected, in the case of the library, by the fact that the present facilities are approximately 600 square feet under the minimum recommended area necessary to provide an adequate service. For the 120 First and Second Year students of the School of Physical and Health Education who lack adequate fac-., ilities, this decision represents a particular threat to the future of their studies. Dr. Tamblyn expressed the hope that the meeting with the Minister will result in the reconsideration of the current decision. -Nor'Westers Soccer Team vs. Michigan Tech.

This Fort, built between 1801 and 1804 was the central depot for western distribu­ tion of Canadian merchandise and the collection of furs trapped by the Indians. Here people from all parts of Europe and other areas as remote as the Phillipines met annually to celebrate with their Indian compatriots the successes of their fur trade. Between the rail lines and box cars in the C.P.R. railyard the hard working crew headed by Nick Van Eden uncovered over 4,000 artifacts, such as bottles, jars, plates and cutlery, tools, portions of guns, remnants of clothing and trade items. These provide a permanent record of the kinds of goods representative of the period. In addition, the foundation of the stone magazine, the old stone storehouse, the great hall and a number of les­ ser buildings were uncovered. This, together with the establishment of the palisade provides information relevant to the actual construction of the original fort. The Minister of Tourism and Information, whose Department funded the excavation, visited the site during the excava­ tion and expressed a strong interest in seeing the post reconstructed. It is the hope of many citizens that a fur trade interpretation centre will be established to mark this nationally important fort. On Wednesday, October 28, Mr. K. C. A. Dawson gave an address entitled "Rediscovering Old Fort William" to an open meeting called by the Thunder Bay Historical Society at the Prince Arthur Hotel. A second crew undertook the excavation of a late fur trade post at Blacksands Provincial Park for the Department of Lands and Forests. The foundations of the post operated by John Fitzback were uncovered and detailed measurements of the buildings associated with the post were recorded. In addition, several hundred period artifacts were recovered. A third party spent a month forty miles west of the Lakehead at a Late Woodland prehistoric site. This site dates from about 1000 A.D. and saw more or less continuous occupation until historic times. Over 7,000 artifacts were recovered. This included a large quantity of ceramics as well as many lithics including knives, projec­ tile points and scraping tools. A burial mound and a number of circular depressions reported to be wild rice thrashing pits were cross sec­ tioned. This project was funded by the National Museum of Man as part of the on-going investi­ gations into prehistoric life in northwestern Ontario. Canada and Trade Economy Dr. K. J. Charles, Chairman of the Department of Economics, addressed the Silver Anniversary Conference of the United Nations Association in Canada, recently held in Toronto on 'The Possible Impact of Increased Third World Trade on Canada'. Referring to the first Development Decade, Dr. Charles pointed out disturbing factors resulting from the first Development Decade including the unchanged economic distance between rich and poor nations; the inequality of income increase within a number of developing countries; an alarm­ ing growth of unemployment and underemployment in the developing economies. He considered it unfortunate that Canada, as other developed countries, had chosen to ignore the recommendations of the Commission on Interna­ tional Development regarding the contributions of 1% of Gross National Product towards foreign aid as well as the graclual reduction of tariffs imposed on imports of manufactured goods from developing countries. Dr. Charles felt a phased expansion of manufac­ tured imports from developing countries could benefit the Canadian economy and the Canadian consumer. The resulting lower retail prices and increased efficiency in affected industry would provide a positive impact on the overall eco­ nomic picture in Canada. Speaking on the cultural benefits of increased trade with developing countries, Dr. Charles pointed out "The developing countries, for all their poverty are rich in culture". He cited the recognition of the Peoples Republic of China as a positive step in Canadian preparation for increased friendly relations with developing countries and centrally planned economies, and strongly urged the elimination from our language those words that contribute to misunderstanding, on the basis that "they do not contribute to clarity of thought, but also. . .they reflect ethno-centricism, ignor­ ance and arrogant contempt for peoples and cul­ tures different from our own." Committee Changes Name At a recent meeting of the Lakehead University Charity Fund Committee, it was decided a change of name was needed to indicate more accurately the breadth of organizations that ought to be considered for its financial support. Of the eighteen member agencies of the Thunder Bay United Appeal, many cannot be called chari­ table in the broadest sense of the word. In order to represent more fully, the concept of "people helping people", it was decided to rename the committee the "University Philanthropy Com­ mittee". It is hoped everyone will appreciate the expanded scope recognized in the new title. The objective of the Committee will remain the same, that is, to solicit funds from the staff and the faculty of Lakehead University for distribution to registered non-profit charitable and service organizations. Last year we donated $3,884.35 to the United Appeal and $919.15 to the Salvation Army. The request for donations for 1970-71 will be going out shortly, and the Committee sincerely hopes everyone will give as generously as their cir­ cumstances permit. Please help those, who des­ perately need a "brighter tomorrow". The Committee is working on the idea of a dinner and dance to be held sometime in Febr­ uary. Details will be announced later.

It was . felt that such a group could exchange the various views from ~11 areas of the University and contribute to a fuller understanding of the overall feelings existing on the Campus and provide . the .means for the objective, communication of the various copcerns related to this subject. It was agreed that the .Faculty representation should include a I>ean, a Department Head, a Full Professor, an Associate Professor and an Assi~tant Professor. This will also ensure Senate representation on the Committee. Upon the approval of this proposal •by the concerned bodies and the subsequent. election of representatives a schedule of meetings will be set up and further information will be available.

L-� 3, A\\(_\.__ \S Nov. 13, 1970 Volume 3, No. 9 L. U. Hosts Speaker Dr. Donald Chant, distinguished Canadian zoolo­ gist will visit Lakehead University on Friday, November 20th as the gue�t of the Special Events Committee and first speaker in a public lecture series on the theme of "Unstable Environment." Dr. Chant will spend the day as special guest of the Biology Department before giving a public lecture entitled "Ecology, Technology, and the Environmental Problem", an examination of the opposition of interests that is the 'essence of pre­ sent concerns over environmental abuse. Dr. Chant was born in Toronto, an undergraduate of U.B.C., and received his Ph.D. in Zoology from the University of London, England ·in 1956. From 1956 to 1960, Dr. Chant was a section head in the Entomology Research Institute, Canada Department of Agriculture, Belleville, Ontario, apd from 1960 to 1964, Director, Research Laboratory, Canada Department of Agriculture, Vineland, Ontario. In 1964, he moved to the University of California, where he was Chairman of the Department of Biological Control. In 1967, he returned to Canada as Chairman of the Department of Zoology, Uni­ versity of Toronto, his present position. Dr. Chant is well known as researcher, consultant, and author. His professional research interests for the last 20 years have included the development of effective and safe alternatives .to the use of chemical pesticides in the fields of agriculture and forestry. A present member of the FAO Com­ mittee on Integrated Pest Control and past mem­ ber of many Canadian and U.S. advisory commit­ tees, Dr. Chant is now President of a new con­ sulting company called Ecosystems Ltd., Vice� President of Ecological Research Group Ltd., Chairman, Board of Advisers, Pollution Probe at the University of Toronto; Consultant with Systems Research Group to advise Mr. J.

As an author Dr. Chant is known for a large num-_ her of scientific publications in his research fields, and many semi-popular publications, in­ cluding widely read articles in the Globe and Mail. With R. 0. Brinkhurst, Dr. Chant is co-author of a book, still in press, entitled "Book on Ethics of Pollution" (Macmillan), and is a member of a subcommittee of the Mid-Canada Foundation res­ ponsible for the authorship of an article entitled "The Global living system and Mid Canada" due to appear in the current issue of The Lakehead University Review. The public lecture will be held at 7:30 p.m. in the University Centre Theatre on Friday, Nov­ ember 20th, with a question period and informal coffee reception following. All with an interest in the present and future of mid Canada are wel­ come. Senate Meeting At a meeting on Wednesday, Senate received a memorandum from President W. G. Tamblyn re­ garding the meetings held with the Department of University Affairs in Toronto. Reference was made to the capital projects which are presently frozen by the Department and discussions pertain­ ing to them. The Senate agreed, on the recommen- dation of the Senate Academic Planning Commit­ tee, to include the following in its submission to the Committee on University Affairs; third and fourth years of the Forestry degree programs to com­ mence in September, 1971; the proposed Engin­ eering degree program to commence in September of 1971 or 1972: that the degree program in Library Technology (B.L.T,) be presented and supported as a program in the planning stage: that the proposed Liberal Science program commence in September 1971. These recommendations were approved in principle with detailed study to take place at a later date. White Paper Critic Mr. John F. Bulloch, a 36-year-old Toronto teacher and part-time executive is the catalyst in a nation-wide movement to oppose the White Paper on taxation. His activities were reported in the June 20th cover story of Weekend Magazine. Mr. Bulloch's own career, as an employee in his father's clothing store, as an engineer, a sales­ man, a , business manager, a teacher of business and finance, and a husband and father, has taken him into a variety of taxation situations. He recently has been an instructor of business man­ agement and finance at Ryerson Polytechnical Institute and also acted as Director and Vice - Pres­ ident of John Bulloch Limited. Reacting to the White Paper he wrote a stinging letter to Finance Minister Benson and published an ad in • the Globe and Mail, publicly expressing his anger. Within two days he received many calls from businessmen which resulted in the formation of The Canadian Council For Fair Taxation with Mr. Bulloch named as General Secretary and Dir­ ector. He took a one-year leave of absence from his teach­ ing position, and reduced his involvement in the family business in order to devote his time to Council activities. "I don't feel the commitments I have made are less than those of thousands of others in this country, though. In their own ways, they are working just as hard soliciting support, organizing opposition and preparing briefs", he said. Lakehead University Business Club will have the pleasure of having Mr. John Bulloch here, to speak on White Paper Taxation. The time and place is Thursday, November 19 at 10:00 a.m. in Room UC2011. (The Upper Agora Theatre). Everyone is welcome to hear Mr. Bulloch and his views. Symphony Tickets Here Tickets for the Lakehead Symphony concerts are now available on the L.U. Campus. Order forms and tickets can be obtained from the office of the Dean of Arts.

Mrs. Pamela Duke has now assumed the position of Information and Publications Officer in Room UC1003. Born in Winnipeg, Mrs. Duke worked in radio and television as a writer-producer in that city and other Western centres. Upon moving to Toronto, she was employed by Scarborough College and later moved to the Information Branch of the Department of Correctional Service for the Province of Ontario. Recently arrived from Brandon, Manitoba, where she worked as Information Officer and Research Consultant for the Mayor's Office, Mrs. Duke was appointed to her present position on October 26, 1970. Recent considerations of the role of the Information Office by the University resulted in the decision that renewed emphasis be placed on the coordination of publications and other promotional materials, as well as specific responsibilities such as L.U. Week, press releases, and media relations. Mrs. Duke stated that she hopes to establish a close relationship with all facets of the University in order that the Information Office may offer a comprehensive service in the matters of communication of administrative policy, reports on research and publications, as well as events, both within the Campus confines and to the community. Campus Notes □The University Philanthropy Committee has reported that response to this year's campaign for funds has been very slow.

U.A. Underground Flower Power The flowers that bloom in the Spring in our North­ ern spheres are already formed and lying under the ground. This significant factor was discovered this past summer by Professor D. R. Lindsay of the Department of Biology. In relation to his many years of study of taxonomy and ecology of plants in boreal regions, Professor Lindsay conducted research on the life history and underground systems of five common northern forest plants. The preliminary results of these investigations have indicated that unusual processes of reproduc­ tion characterize plants of cold climates and have illustrated a number of areas which will require further research for a comprehensive understand­ ing of the full nature of these processes. One of the notable findings resulting from Profes­ sor Linday's research is that which showed that in some of the examined species, the flowering buds for the next year are already formed on the under­ ground parts of the plant. At this time the factors responsible for floral initiation, as well as the concurrent physiological changes which take place in the plant during both formation and emergence are still unknown. Professor Lindsay pointed out that extensive studies are still necessary in this relatively untouched field and that the whole area requires much further work. Other interesting findings include observations that the percentage of flowering taking place in above ground shoots is relatively small, yet the extensive vegetative reproduction that takes place through the under­ ground system allows survival for indefinite per­ iods of time. In some cases, the dry weight of the underground section of the plant is one to three times greater than the dry weight of the above ground sections, giving them an iceberg-like characteristic. This allows such plants to survive many environmental hazards including fire, flood and changes in tem­ perature, and indeed, often results in more pro­ fuse blooming after a major environmental altera­ tion. All the plants under study were collected within the Thunder Bay area and some were found on the University grounds. Observation and study of the cycles of these plants will continue in order to further reinforce the present findings and to collect more data. Professor Lindsay hopes to see additional work done in the ecological appli­ cation of these findings, as well as on flower form­ ation and physiology. Attention Playwrights A competition to promote original playwrighting in Canada is being sponsored by the Drama Depart­ ment at the University of Saskatchewan, Regina Campus in conjunction with the Saskatchewan reg­ ion of the Dominion Drama Festival. There will be an award of $500 to a Canadian citi­ zen for a full-length original, unperformed and un­ published play written in English. If possible, the play will be produced during the 1971 fall seaeon and it is hoped the playwright can be present for rehearsals and the production. Closing date for the competition is March 31, 1971 and the winner will be notified by May 15. Judges will be faculty members in the Drama Department­ John Chamberlain, William Dixon, Anne Hard­ castle, Gabriel Prendergast, Eric Salmon and Michael Scholar. Playwrights should send their scripts to Playwright­ ing Award, c/o William Dixon, Drama Department, University of Saskatchewan, Regina Campus. ,.,,, The Committee on University Affairs will meet with officials of Lakehead University on Tues­ day,' November 24th at 9:30 a.m. In a memo rec­ ently. distributed the time was reported as 1:15 p.m:, and recipients are asked to please make note of the correct time.

The meeting will be held in the Senate Chamber, beginning at 9:30 a.m. Those wishing to attend can obtain tickets from the office of the Secre­ tary of the University. Mr. D. Ayre has ad­ vised that the supply of these tickets is limited and interested parties should pick them up early in order to ensure attendance. New AUCC Board Mr. A. Davidson Dunton, president of Carletbn University, is the new president of the Association of Universities and Colleges of Canada. He succeeds Mr. Roger Gaudry, Universite de Montreal, who remains on the board as past president. The new vice - president is M. Louis-Philippe Bonneau, Uni­ versite Laval. New members elected for three years are: Dr. J. W. T. Spinks, president, University of Saskatchewan; Dr. H. D. Hicks, president, Dalhousie University; Dr. L. G. Harris, dean of arts and science, Memorial University of Newfoundland; Mr. Robin Ross, vice­ president and registrar, University of Toronto, and M. Jacques St.-Pierre, directeur, centre de calcul, Universite de Montreal. Professor G. A. McAllister, faculty of law, Univer­ sity of New Brunswick, was elected for a two-year term and Dr. D. M. Healy was elected for a one­ year term. For the first time in its 59-year history, the asso­ ciation elected students to its board. They are: Miss Colleen McGuinness, president of the Bran­ don University Students' Union Inc.; Mr. Wayne Yared, president of the Graduate Student Society, University of Windsor, and chairman of the execu­ tive committee of the newly formed Canadian Union of Graduate Students; and Mr. Norman Wickstrom, president of The Simon Fraser Student Society. The full AUCC board of directors for 1970-71 is as follows: President .... Mr.A.Davidson Dunton(Carleton University) Vice-President ......... M.Louis-Philippe Bonneau(Universite Laval) Past-President ... M.Roger Gaudry(Universite de Montreal) Executive heads are: Dr. J. J. Deutsch (Queen's University), Dr. D. M.

Due to the success of the presentation of Arthur Miller's "View from the Bridge", by the Confederation College Players, three additional performances have been scheduled for November 27th, 28th and 29th. Those wishing to attend any of these performances can otain further information and tickets from the "Matchbox" in the University Mall or from Confederation College. You are reminded that the seating area is limited and it would be wise to obtain tickets as soon as possible. The format involved the introduction by an instructor, a specialist in French-Canadian literature, to one of the three required texts, and his review of its place in Canadian literature in general. This was followed by an informal discussion by other instructors, representing the seven sections of the course, on the different aspects of the novel. The basic premise underlying this type of presentation lay in two areas: (a) that the student would become more involved through having the opportunity to listen to a number of points of view presented by varying individuals, and (b) the student would find the discussions a valuable exercise in the understanding of spoken French. Comments from the students have indicated that the programme accomplished these ends most successfully. Other programs now underway include a two-part lecture on French-Canadian and English-Canadian literature and discussions of the two remaining required texts. It is hoped that some programmes on various aspects of grammar might be done for use by students as reference. Chemical Institute At LU Dr. L. W. Shemilt, President of .the 10,000 member Chemical Institute of Canada and Dean of.Engineering at McMaster University will address a meeting of the Lakehead and District Section of the Institute on Monday, November 23 at 8:00 p.m. in R-oom MB1001. His topic will be "Credibility and Chemistry" dealing with the indi-rect and direct attacks on the credibility of the chemist and the chemical engineer, with particular reference to pollution. Dr. Shemilt will advance proposals for closing the credibility gap that has developed and speak to the implications of these proposals for the Chemical Institute of Canada. The presentation of the Allied Chemical Scholarship will be made by Mr. E. Burk, the local Plant Supervisor to Mr. G. D. Martin, a Fourth Year Honours Student in the Department of Chemistry.
