February 10 , 1966.
A.M.S. COUNCIL REPORT, FEBRUARY 7.
A. letter was read to council from Mr. Morgan which stated that
he disapproved of the A..M.S. report of the February 1st meeting, in
the Medium, concerning Food Management . He felt that this should not
have been printed in the newspaper, and that either the newspaper or
the A.M.S. should send a note of apology to Mr. Childerhose. He also
mentioned that the first reading, for him and Mr. Childerhose, was in
the Medium. As the author of this previously mentio·ned r eport, I say
it is my duty to report any proceedings of the Council to the student
body. If this matter was not fully prepared, it should not have been
presented to council, and the principals involved should have waited
until the correct authorities were notified, There was ample time to
ask that this matter be withdrawn from the Newspaper report prior to
printing , if this request was warranted by the editors .
After the reading of the letter, President Hess th,cn introduced
Mr. Childerhose, representative of Food Management Services ~ To pre-
vent misunderstandings, a motion was carried that the newspaper not be
allowed to report on the matter at hand. I sugge st that the members
of the A.M.S., who voted on this motion, read Section II, Article XI
of the Constitution, under the title - Meetings; in which, it states
that any member of the A,M.s., (which includes any full-time student)
shall be en·titled, subject to the seating capacity of the room in which
the meetings of the A.M.S. council are held, to attend meetings of the
A.M.S. council meeting, the Medium has a duty to inform any absent
members of the A.M.S, of the proceedings. As there were a few nonparticipant A.M.S, members there, all others have a right to hear the
busines·s at hand .
Considering the council knowledgeable of its own constitution,
especialiy the President, this reporter discontinued his notes and relaxed to listen to the arguments presented.
by W.M. (Jack) Lemmon.
In the February 3, 1966 issue of "the Medium 11
that was very bitter and equally unjustified. The

in Toronto.
It only stands to reason that the governing student body of a University cannot be expected to give funds to a political club for that
political club to furthe r its own political objec tives . If the Lakehead
University Alma Mater Society had given money to the political club as
requested, it would then be sponsoring directly candidates for a Senior
Political Party - when not all of Lakehead University's seven-hundred
and twenty students agree with the philosophy of that particular political party.
It has been said that if the .A..M.S. had allowed the political club
to send delegates to the conference in Toronto, the delegates wnuld return to the Lakehead much informed and better able to tell the students
of the policies of the Senior Political Party. This is clearly a furthering of the political ambitions of one political party at the expense
of all the students at Lakehead University .
Another point of discussion was the reason why the A.M.s. Council
had allowed political clubs on campus if the A.M.s . would not allot
money for the political clubs to send delegates to nation-wide political
conventions. As these political clubs were allowed to exist, the Council obviously recognized the necessity of having a knowl edge of the
�2
political situation in the world today o However, it is not in the best
interests of the whole student body to send delegates to conventions in
order to better propagate ·the political philosophy of only one party~
At this time, it is neither financially nor physically possible
to sponsor delegates to all party c onve ntions. Who draws the line?
And where?
The A.M.S. has drawn the line in the best interests of the student body as a whole, not just a few!

(A.M.S. Science Representative.)

The aim of any newspaper is awareness. It is in an attempt to
make the student body of Lakehead U. aware of elections that this issue has set up. February 16th is the date that students will cast .
their ballots for the l.M.S. Executive of 1966-67. It is of vital importance to every student 1. that he cast his ballot, exercising hi~
franchise
2. that he exercise that franchise as an enlightened votero
Each candidate· has a platform of proposals for the next year o It is •
your duty to be aware of just what a particular candidate stands for
and to know ~ho the candidates are. To help in this department the Medium has compiled the following list of candidates as of 4 p .. mo lfebruary

If you do not know the identity of the candidates your vote is not
only a wasted effort it could seriously damage the governing mechanism
of next year 1 s A.M.S. Council, You are encouraged to read the platfo.rms of tpe candidates for the Presidency; I fr, Tocheri and Mr. 1.ifainwright. You are also asked to watch for election conferences that may
be held next week before the election day, The Medium is doing its

to
To th,is editor two issues particularly stand out. The first is
that of Universal Accessability -· government paid academic and residence
fees for University students. This affects you and I and it is an issue
that, our governments are soon going to have to deal with. What will the
view of our A.M.S. Council be? ~ould we settle for a more immediate
solution to such rising costs by cutting fees only, or removing academic
fee~ completely and leaving residence fees or vice versa? Residence
fees for a single room vJill rise in the fall of 1966 to.. 1725. A. double
room will cost d~6506 What will the effect of this be on present residence students? This is a question not only a:, Lake head but at every
Canadian University. Your council is guided to a large extent by the
stand of the executive. Where will they stand on such an issue? You
and I cannot afford to cast an ignorant vote when the stakes are so
higho Academic fees will rise also next fall.
Secondly this University is an expanding University. What is the
relationship between students, faculty, and administration? Should students have representation on the Senate or on a 11 Universi ty Council, 11
a sounding bpard for problems and expansion of facilities in both ~aculty and coursGs to be offered? At prGsent these issues involve a twostep process of student to faculty or student to administration and on
up. What about the Board of Governors 9 Here the possibilities of a

opportunity for fences down discussion by all concerned with the ·Lakehead University situation on an equal basis.
There are many issues and many questions. But the most important
fact of all is this. The freshman vote equates 1:1.with tha.t of upperclassmen. This means that the freshmen vote decides the issue and he
has to live with the results next year in campus student administration. You can 1 t afford to vote without being certain of who is involved and exactly what he or she stands for. Vote as you please but voteFebruary 16, 1966.

FRIDAY PRESS CONFERENCE.
An open press conference will be held Friday, February 11th at
1:00 in the cafeteria. At this time a battery of reporters from the
Medium will direct questions to the candidates for position of President. Students are asked to attend the conference but public questions
will be restricted to·a Town Hall Heeting next Monday afternoon.

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