NO. 2 FEBRUARY 1991 Giving: A Family Affair $19.2 million in five years. It's a big Regional Education Building and the Stuchallenge, but according to John Russell, dent Centre with shared construction features, and he starts to imagine all that Director of External Relations and the Share our Northern Vision Campaign, "it's is possible when people get involved and feel part of the dream. "The $6 million exreachable, and more important, a pansion on the Bora Laskin Building, $3 necessary goal". The campus is experimillion for the library, another $3 million encing major growth for the first time in for the Fieldhouse, $1 million for scholar25 years, largely the product of the ships and another $1 million for equipsuccessful Parh1er's Campaign comment: these were just items on a muchpleted in 1987. Russell points to the A 12-member, all-party Committee set up their Thunder Bay headquarters in the Agora to hear views about the future of Canada and the Pravince's role within it. People did voice their concerns on many issues including language rights, needed wish list a couple of years ago, but with strong support, we can make them a reality. It's critical that we start at home, with the university family" . He defines that family as faculty, staff, Board of Governors, alumni, parents and students. When the private sector is approached for major contributions, the first question they ask is often "what have you done for yourselves?"

Dr. Rideout made a long and important contribution to the development of Lakehead University. In recent years, after his formal retirement, John became involved extensively in off-campus teaching for Continuing Education. He loved to go to the regional communities, and his students really enjoyed him. I believe that he has been quoted as saying (paraphrased) that, while the focus of Lakehead University has been the Thunder Bay campus, the real students to serve are out there in the region. It was only in the past couple of years that, on medical advice with respect to his vision, he had to give up this activity. Dr. and Mrs. Rideout enjoyed retirement and many postcards arrived in my office over the past few years, all of churches and cathedrals around the world. John was fascinated by the archi tccture of cathedrals. Unfortunately, often upon passing, an unknown chapter is opened in one's career. Although some of John's dose friends at Lakchead University were aware, to some degree, of his contribution to the civil rights movement in the U.S., all were somewhat surprised to hear the extensive array of his involvement. His commitment to the cause of equality was unfailing, and his contribution to Lakehead University has been appreciated. Dr. John Rideout also holds another p lace of honour in the history of Lakehead University. He was, and is, I believe, the only Lakehead University faculty member, to date, to hold a Rhodes Scholarship. Ontario Constitution Committee The recent hearings of the Ontario Select Committee on the Constitution held in the Agora were very interesting and successful. Without getting into content, the Agora (Greek for meeting place) is a spectacular and appropriate room for such serious topics to be discussed. Numerous students took advantage of the day and evening meetings to help become more focused on this important debate which may ultimately lead to reshaping the definition of Canada as we know it today. Although organized on very short notice, I received many favourable comments about Agora Editor (Katherine Shedden) and the effort she and the university staff put into the day's events. As well, the Parliamentary Channel broadcast the entire hearings live (and repeated) all over Ontario. I really enjoyed the very dramatic and colourful shots of Lakehead University shown on the signoff. (Who says public television doesn't have commercials?) Vice-President (Academic) Search By the time that you read this, I expect that the two candidates, Dr. D. Atkinson and Dr. J. Whitfield, will have completed their on-campus interviews, and the Search Committee will be mulling over the input received during the process. The search has been competitive, and I feel that we have two excellent candidates for the position. A decision is expected by the end of February. Page 2 Buildings, Buildings! In spite of the weather, construction continues on our current projects. All seems to be going well, and next fall should see some impressive new facilities added to our spacL inventory. The Space Committee continues to review the areas of space freed up by the various moves and, as we would expect, there arc still more needs than space. A couple of times in the past few weeks, I have donned my hard hat and had a sneak preview of the new Student Centre/ Regional Education Centre facility. At this stage, it is impressive, and I can hard! y wait to see the finished product. Having a few new "rectangular" classrooms will prove to be a real novelty. The view from the Economics Department offices and the Geography Map Room, however, will probably be the focal points of the new facility. Operating Grants and Tuition Fees (91/92) As I finish this column (Monday, February 11, 1991), the Ontario Government is in the process of announcing grant increases for next year to the University system of approximately 8% and corresponding 8% increases in tuition fees. As you know, Lakehead University doesn't achieve our new student corridor average until the 92/93 fiscal year so this coming year was expected to be another tight one. With the level of grants announced, I can assure you that we will have to budget carefully. I am somewhat relieved, and I believe the students will be also that, in spite of all the recent attention given to proposals to massively increase tuition fees, the actual increases proposed are consistent with recent government policy. Students bring Honour to L.U. Congratulations to Andre Roy, Engineering Department, who has been selected to receive The 1991 Bell Canada Engineering and Computer Science Award. The School of Nursing should be very proud of Therese Lim and Elizabeth Borycki, 4th year students, who were one team of only four student presenters at the National Conference hosted by McGill. More than 150 delegates from across Canada heard their presentation, "The Trend Toward NurseMidwifery in Canada" and asked lots and lots of questions". The students received financial assistance from Mary O'Rourkc, alumna and long time university supporter, and LUSU. Therese Lim, left, and Elizabeth Borycki, take a well-deserued break after putting the finishing touches on their research paper. AGORA - - -- - - - -- - - - - - February 1991 �Around Campus Native Student at University of pland Art Sinclair, a native Canadian and senior Education student, has been chosen to spend six weeks at the University of Lapland, in Rovaniemi, Finland. Lakehead University, through the Centre for Northern Studies, has an exchange program with Lapland and Art and fellow student Susan Flabiano, are the firs t students from Lakehead to attend. The University of Lapland is located on the Arctic Circle. It is in the beginning stages of setting.up a program of s tudy for the Sarni people, the indigenous people of Lapland, and specifically requested a native student for the exchange. "They were looking for a student's perspective", said Sinclair, "and though LU's programs are modest, they are significant in terms of native education involving the community" . The Faculty of Education has a number of exchange programs with Scandinavian universities and will be sending another two students to the University of Lulea in Sweden later in the month. Professor David Bates, Chairman of Pre-Service Education, says "we know that with Art's background and knowledge he will be a good ambassador at the University of Lapland" . Native Students' Day Once again LU was the site of Native Students' Day, held this year on February 1. The event is a unique one among t1"":1adian universities and was organized by the Native ~ udents Association and Native Support Services. The morning was reserved for Native displays - Arts and crafts and native organizations set up booths in the Agora. Guest lecturers included Dr. Bob Thomas, University of Arizona, who spoke to the audience on the problems of interpreting oral history. Dr. Calvin Martin, Rutgers State University, discussed the problems of Native history due to Western European thought and the difficulties involved with Native studies. The evening closed with a Pow Wow and traditional dancers and drummers. 23rd Annual Forestry Symposium The 23rd Annual Forestry Symposium, organized by the LU Forestry Association, was held January 25 and 26 at the university. The theme of the symposium was "Community Forestry". Speakers included Minister of Natural Resources, Bud Wildman, Stewardship Director of the Teme-Augama Anishnabai, Mary La Ronde, Julian Dunster of Simon Fraser University, Richard Baerg, CTDA and Mike Roy of the Centre for Forestry and Environmental Studies, Newfoundland. Lecture topics dealt with the definition of community forestry, community forestry for and by aboriginal peoples and the Ontario government policy on community forestry. OBITUARY John Graville Rideout passed away on January 26, 1991 in Thunder Bay. Born in Vermont, he was educated in Maine, England (a Rhodes Scholar at Oxford) and Rhode Jsland. Dr. Rideout taught at several colleges and universities in the United States before coming to Canada in 1964 to serve as Chairman of the English Department at the soon-to-become Lakehead University. He retired as Professor Emeritus in 1980 but continued to teach off-campus in Kenora, Dryden, Rainy River, Ear Falls and Red Lake for another four years - a total of 44 years dedicated to his love of English literature. His colleagues speak with great admiration about the zest for literature and life that he infused into his teaching. He had the gift of being able to put the litera ture in the context of its age making his classes an unforgettable experience. The university community sends condolences to the family of Dr. John Rideout. A m emorial scholarship fund has been established at Lakehead by family, friends and colleagues who wish to honour his long and distinguished association with the University. Those wishing to donate to this fu nd, which will create an annual award in perpetuity, may send their contributions to the Lakehead University Development Office (Rideout Memorial). Official Opening of the Centre for Northern Forest Ecosystem Research January 25 was the official grand opening of the Centre for Northern Forest Ecosystem Research (CNF ER) on campus. The building, which houses Ministry of Natural Resources biologists, ecologists and foresters, was the site of the official ribbon cutting by MNR Minister Bud Wildman, centre, and left to right, Sister Alice Greer, MPP Shelley Wark-Martyn, hidden in back MP Joe Comuzzi, Mayor Jack Masters and Dr. Bob Rosehart. February 1991 AGORA - - - - -- - - - - - - - -- -- - Page 3 �'7t s t a r t s a t h o m e " Conlinuedfrompage1 Knowing that a successful campaign at home would build the foundation for the larger campaign, organizers structured the campaign in such a way that everyone would be personally contacted. "We started with the President, Chair of the Faculty and Staff Campaign, who then met with members of senior administration, who had the opportunity to involve their people and set Department and School goals. "The areas we've mentioned have been given top priority but the key to the success of this campaign is the involvement factor. People are very concerned about where their hard-earned dollars will go. If they have a say, if they feel that their contribution is for something they believe in, then the community spirit alone will build these future dreams, just as it did 30 years ago when the people of the area envisioned a university". People often want information about how to channel their donation so that it best meets their needs. Russell pointed out one case where a donor insisted the money go to the library - and then recommended certain journals! "That's great'', he said "People need options and whether they help with bricks and mortar or start a new scholarship, it's the participation that is going to make a difference." For further information about the Share Our Northern Vision Campaign, or how to get involved call John Russell or Rob Zuback at the Development Office 343-8913. I "I believe this region is very fortunate to have a university. For the past eight years, l have been contributing to an endowed scholarship through payroll deduction because I consider Lakehead University and its students a worthwhile investment. I look upon it as my way of leaving something lasting and meaningful behind." Betty Hygaard, Assistant External Relations "Stories students have told me of the was/P. of human potential at some large universi ties, help me to understand what a good educational investment Lakehead University is." Clem Kent, Professor Mathematical Sciences 'Tm a grad, but that is not the only reason I give. I really believe most people want to give. We all have to give a little bit and stand together and do some good. I think cooperation is the way to counteract cynicism. The alumni has been working their butts off and I want to support them. It means a lot "l think it's the university's commitment to regional programs that means the most to me to know that our contributions, no matter Being able to deliver our university courses to the people of Northwestern Ontario in thei how small, can make a difference and home community is a gratifying experience.

Man's intense clashes with pests have resulted in disease, famine and even death. In order to minimize the impact of pests and consequently improve his lifestyle, mankind has developed pesticides, chemicals aimed at killing the unwanted organisms. h1 spite of all the benefits of increased pesticides, they have come under intense attack, as a result of increased public awareness about health and environmental effects. A research team, led by entomologist Dr. Yves Prevost, School of Forestry, is developing a new understanding of how de.ii with pests. "Pests arc any organ,n th.it interferes with the comfort .ind well being of m.inkind. TI1c pests we arc dealing with arc insects. We arc looking at methods w hid1 will minimize the use of insecticides. Sometimes insecticides are the only answer to the problem, but often other methods can be used and that is the focus of our current research." A long-standing approach to the control of spruce bud worm populations is aerial application of insecticides. Dr. Prevost and graduate student Shelley Vescio arc inves tiga ting how trees defend themselves against feeding by the bud worm. "We believe trees can take care of themselves because trees arc loaded with defence chemicals much like the immune system of humans. What we would like to understand is how trees use these defences in repelling .in insect attack and once we understand how it works then we could apply the principle to forest management". Another pest that is making its presence well-known is the white pine weevil. This insect destroys the principle growing shoot of newly planted spruces and pines, which is counter -;>roductivc to the massive regeneration 1 ( .'orts of the forests. There are on! ya few insecticides available for white pine weevil control, but their u se is labour intensive and not always successful. Dr . Prevost, graduate student Anne Villeneuve, and Rhonda Millikin, terrestrial (C vertebrate ecologist at the Forest Pest Management Ins titute (FPM I) in Sault Ste. Marie, arc investigating the importance of bird natural enemies on white pine weevil populations. "We virtually don't know anything about the significance of birds, or for that matter other natural enemies, in keeping white pine weevil populations in check. We must understand the biological links in the ecosystem first, if we are going to be successful in controlling any pest, by wha tcver means". Another approach to minimizing insecticide use is to practise selective application. In collaboration with Dr. G. Grant of FPMf and the Ministry of Natural Resources, Dr. Prevost is monitoring for the presence of spruce bud worm and spruce concworm in seed orchards which yield seeds used in seedling production. These two insects feed on the cones which produce the seeds and thus d iminish seed production potenti.il. Traps specific for bud worm and concworm moths are being used to monitor for the presence and numbers of these moths in the orchards. Research is underway to relate the numbers of moths caught in the traps and the expected damage to cones the following year. Armed with a prediction, orchard managers should be able to pl.in if they need to apply insecticides or not. Reduction in pesticide usage rests also with the public. With the support of the Ministry of Natural Resources program, Environmental Youth Corps, Dr. Prevost has organized an insect identification clinic in the School of Forestry. The public can bring in their insect guests and the clinic will identify the insect and indicate how the insect should be dealt with. 'The grea t majority of insects are beneficial and the application of insecticides in most cases actually docs more harm than good. Before the public can treat perceived problem insects, they must know what they are dealing with. We promote non-insecticidal approaches as much as possible". RESEARCH PROFILE: "THE BUG MAN" Dr. Yves Prevos t Sch ool of Forestry 'The great majority of insects are beneficial. .. in most cases the application of insecticides actually does more harm than good." �Four Professors Going to China The Ontario-Jiangsu Educational Exchange (OJEE) Program has initiated a three-year pilot project with Lakehead University and Nanjing Forestry University, which will provide additional funding to nurture existing linkages.

"I've always thought of myself as one .. I am problem-oriented in the way that I ask myself why thmgs happen. I am by no means a theorist". This last statement portrays Granatstein's aversion to the fairly recent trend of h istorians to focus on social and historical theory rather than the fundamental traditions of study in Canadian history (the political parties, the wars, conscription, Canadal.J_S rel_ati~ns). "Canadian h istory has moved in the wrong direction m the past years. ft should be accessible and understandable to the public" . Granatstein, as a narrative historian, is one of few Canadian academics who probably sells enough books to sustain him without his university salary. His recent book, mitten with York colleague Robert Bothwell, is Pirouette, based on former Prime Minister Trudeau's Foreign Policy and it ~as the topic of his lecture presented in the evening of January 24.

The war, Bush asserts, is about higher principles. And here in Canada, it's business as usual. Prime Minister Mulroney acts on a sense of responsibility to the international community (with a special ncx:I to the U.S.A.) when it docs not compromise his political and economic interests. Perhaps one of the reasons Canadians currently dislike Mulroney so much is that he uses the language of moral discourse, a h igh-flown gentleman!y rhetoric, wi thou t one suspects, meaning a word of it. Of all the questionable arguments advanced for the disastrous Iraq war, the most intellectually offensive is the claim that this conflict is evidence of a new age of inte rnational law and collective security. Such a simple-minded description conceals the motives behind the p resent allied coalition. The present coalition docs not reflect collective security, but merely the security of the collective interests, primarily economic, of those with the most power. I abhor this unnecessary war, a war whose protagonists use rhetoric to hide the oil and munitions interes ts responsible for the current conflict. The destruction of Iraq, at the cost of lens of thousands of lives (perhaps millions should the war become nuclear), would not be underway if Kuwait had no oil. Mulroney and Bush talk of the need to check criminal aggression in the name of protecting freedom and democracy. Yet it is difficult to accept this at face value given their willingness to sacrifice lives in only selected instances of such aggression. To give but one example: China invaded Tibet in 1950, and continue ._ oppress the Tibetan people, to destroy their culture, and to rob ( .ir natural resources. Mulroney d oes nothing, apparent!y for fear of upsetting China's leaders - the same lead ers who ordered the troops into Tiananmen Square -- and thereby disrupting Canadian-Chinese trade relations. Kuwait was not, of course, a democracy; it was a near-feudal state where imported, disenfranchised labor d id most of the work. Moreover, Saddam Hussein, while certainly guilty of many crimes, is just the sort of man that the west has often supported or even installed in power in other lesser developed nations -Somoza in Nicaragua, and Pinochet in Chile. And while a lot of popular rage has been a imed at German companies that built up Saddam's lethal arsenal, the most powerful countries of the allied coalition - U.S.A., Canada, Britain, France, Ita ly, the Soviet Union - have all, directly or indirectly, contributed either nuclear, military, or bio-chemical technology or hardware lo Iraq's arsenal. In short, hypocrisy abounds. With regard to events surrounding the actual war, the picture of mixed messages and hypocrisy is much the same. The Iraqi brutality detailed in Amnesty lnterna tional' s human rights report on violations in Kuwait reportedly moved Bush to righteous indignation. Yet similar reports from Latin America and elsewhere elicit no response from Washington. And while economic sanctions were considered perfectly adequate against South Africa for years, they were deemed ineffective against Iraq after less than six months. Similarly, while Bush condemns Hussein's intentions to employ bio-chemical weaponry and scud missile a ttacks, he is comfortable with the destruction inflicted by 10,000 bombing sorties in seven days on a country the size of California with a population of 17 million. With our political leader's demonstrating such a b readth of { ,ocrisy, one is d rawn to question where it will e ventu ally end. .. .:: arc promised that the war will not escalate into the realm of nuclear attack, yet without an explicit political theory for the employment of nuclear forces in war, there can be no viable theory as to why these forces should not be used. There are currently February 1991 over 1,000 nuclear weapons in the Persian Gulf, and nothing in the past can make us aware of the consequences of employing such weapons. The bomb dropped on Hiroshima was a mere 0.013 megatons, small in comparison to the destructive power of today's 24 megaton warheads. Reports from Greenpeace Canada indicate that the explosion of one Tomahawk nuclear missile on a ship in the Gulf would be equivalent to 100 Chernobyls. Moreover, it is now appreciated that the climatic aftermath of a medium to large-scale nuclear war could cause more casualties than the direct effects of nuclear explosions. Add to this the potential g lobal cooling and warming consequences of the destruction and burning of the Kuwaiti oilfields (Kuwait has 1,000 oil installations and hold s 9% of the world's oil), the effects of further oil spills (the current spill is 12 times larger than the Alaska disaster), and the residual effects of biochemical warfare, and it seems tha t a global cco-catasrophe is a real possibility. The hypocrisy of Western a ttitudes is evident in the contrast lo deal seriously with the Palestinian issue and our enthusiasm for making war in the name of Kuwait. There will not be a short-term "techno-fix" or a surgical removal of a dictator; this war effectively lays the foundation for future wars. The potential dividends gained from the end of the Cold War - the channeling of military spending into international development, the building of a durable peace and the protection of the world environment - have merely been thwarted by the legacy of future Arab-West conflict. The outrage of the so-called Christian nations of the West is being driven by a moral code which is dictated by expediency and profit rather than by any spiritual or philosophical stimulus. The hypocrisy of the U.S.A. and the U.K. is beginning to contaminate other countries, countries which will steadfastly pay out the millions and even trillions of dollars to fuel the machinery of war but not to help the millions who currently lead wretched lives of quiet desperation throughout the third world. In following the lead of the Americans, Canada has lost its credibility as an honest broker. David Taras, at the University of Calgary, says that television coverage of the war has produced a "disconnected connectiveness" among students watching a war for the first time. He p redicts that support for Canada's role will d ecline when the real nature of the war sinks in, and that young Canadians will be looking for a ve ry different kind of role in foreign affairs than the one Mulroney has mapped ou t for us. I for one hope that Taras is correct. I condemn the actions of Husse in, I hop e that this is clear. Yet I also condemn those who would have us enter into such a tragic military conflict. I shall continue to express my anti-war viewpoints to all with whom I come into contact in my d ealings at this university. And for those who would prefer that university faculty maintain an air of detached political neutrality when interacting in classroom settings, I finish with a quote: "Critical pedagogy does not afford teachers the comforts of naivete or selective amnesia or a pretense of non- involvement concerning the social and political dimensions inherent in the act of educating people. Instead, it implores them to think and act on their ethical, moral, and social responsibilities and commitments, and to work towards increased opportunity for social justice and economic parity in society. Our present education system is floundering and fo undering partly because it rests on a false premise of being politically "neutral".
