M.W. BARTLEY Lakehead University has launched the most ambitious fund campaign ever ventured in Northwestern Ontario •.. a $3,100,500appealforpublic support of their vital expansion program. Although the announcement was officially made Wednesday, Dr. M.W. Bartley, Chairman of the Board of Governors, said that the Development Fund Committee had been quietly working behind the scenes since last 1 fall on the organiZation of the campaign. General Chairman of the Development Fund is Robert J. Prettie, Honorary Chairman is the University s Chancellor, Senator the Honorable Norman M. Paterson. Dr. Bartley stressed that, although the campaign goal was a challengingfigure it represented less than 15% of the University• s overall $22,695,000 expansion program announced in November. Generous Provincial Govern~ent grants will provide six dollars for every one dollar raised by the campaign. The Government's share of the program will amount to $17,705,500, the largest single grant ever made to Northwestern Ontario. The remaining $1,890,000 will be through CMHC mortgages on the new residences which are only partly covered under the grant system. Dr. Bartley expressed pleasure in the appointment of Mr. Prettie, President of Northern Wood Preservers as General Chairman CUS REP. VISITS L.U. Mr. John Cleveland, Executive Member at Large of the Canadian Union of Students, visited Lakehead University last weekend as part of a fact-finding tour of Canadian campuses. In Conference with the new A.M.S. executive on Sunday he defined the Societies• role in C US and outlined the planned and proposed changes in the Union. The structure of CUS, said Mr. Cleveland, has been too much compartmentalized on the indiVidual campuses as the C US chairman and his committee are often removed from council, the official C US body. For this reason the national CUS executive is encouraging some councils to carry CUS responsibilities directly, with an internal committee, rather than an external appointive group representing the Union. He pointed out the difficulties and proVided the rationale for the political and sociological approach to student concerns as adopted by C US in recent years. The major problem has been the basic apolitical nature of many students who do not realize the tremendous lobbying force implicit in a body representing more than one hundred thousand students. Commenting on the trend toward pro- PETITION CIRCULATING A petition is presently being circulated asking that the AMS Board of Trustees reject the proposal of the Council to allot up to $3,000.00 to cover the expenses of the Lakehead University Folk Spectacular. In a recent Argus interview, the formulator of the petition, Mr. BryannSpringgay, of Arts 11, stated that •1n principle the idea is very good; but the $3,000 that the folk singers are requesting is a bit ridiculous considering the fact that only fifteen singers are involved and only four of them are attending Lakehead at the present time.• When asked how the recent letter to the editors written by Tom Kelly, the organizer of the folk singing group, would affect the number of signatures on the petition, Mr. Springgay asserted that Mr. Kelly was accusing him without cause, for misrepresentation of the facts. Springgay added •The facts presented in the preamble of the petition are all true and although they may be slightly slanted in one direction, the people who sign the petition are perfectly aware of what they are doing--there is no question of the facts being misrepresented.• At press time signatures totalled 322. vincialiZation in h.is organization Cleveland bemoaned the duplication which would be involved but could see the advantages. The recently-formed Ontario Union of Students (see page 4), for example, will have considerably more drag at Queen• s Park than the National Headquarters in Ottawa. Concerning the universities which have pulled out of CUS, Mr. Cieveland pointed out that of the four, only Alberta and Memorial are •big'" campuses and that very special situations exist at those universities. The upcoming referendums at UBC and U of T, said Mr. Cleveland, are not a pressing problem at this time considering the several months which CUS has to conVince those universities that they shouldn't pull out. Mr. Cleveland is returning to Ottawa in preparation for the International Student Conference in Scotland next month. CUS will be present only as an observer at the conference where 20 countries will be represented by about 100 delegates. Discussion will revolve around a reassessment of the student role in setting selection and accessability standards for universities. Mr. Cleveland's - expenses will be paid , by UNESCO. FOUR PAGES SOCIETY EXEC CHOSEN A 50% turn-out at the polls last Friday elected Pentti Paularinne as Arts President in a yes-no vote. Bill Weiler defeated J eanetty Gall for the position of Arts Vice-President, and Kathy Buie was the successful treasurer candidate, winning out over Chad Hannah and John Lee. The election for secretary of Mary Rekszynski was also a result of a yes-no vote. Less than 25% of University Schools turned out to elect their officers. Robert Yatkowsky was the successful presidential candidate, defeating Carole Storey. The Vice-Presidential election went to George Paddington, over Dave Sulpher. Nonominations were submitted for the position of treasurer, and in a yes-no vote Barbara Lone won the position of secretary. The ARGUS noted last week the lack of competition for positions in the Science Society executive. This situation did not change, and by acclamation its officers are: President, Roland Paradis; Vice-President, Don Bergman; Treasurer, Fred Poulter; Secretary, Donna Inouye. A THI.ETIC .A WARDS SYSTEM SCRAPPED The entire SAS athletic awards system was radically revamped at Monday's Athletic Council meeting. The schelT!e for naming award winners as outlined in the athletic handbook "'Olympus• handed out at the start of the year has been scrapped. Onlr four days before tonight s Trophy Dance it was decided that the old plan had not worked out and that the most deserving athletes had been put at an unfair disadvantage. Mr. W. Shannon, Athletic Coordinater, pointed out that only one of three inter-collegiate athletes who had won top honours over athletes from other universities, and who had led their teams to conference championships, were even represented in the top twenty point-getters according to the system then in effect.

For some reasons the Liberals aren't telling us. Perhaps they don•tknow. Are Canadian forces to perform only a peace-keeping role and have combat capacity limited to non-nuclear operations, or are the forces intended to have full combat capability not only for the direct defense of Canada, but in particular within the present strategy of the NATO and NORAD alliances? Now we have to decide if integration will work with both of these roles or just one. or even none of them. The idea of unification is to have the airforce working with the army delivering paratroopers to any part of the world, and the navy following up with the main supplies. This would suit the peace-keeping role for Canada very well, but what about the defence ol 20 million Canadians, and do we want Canada to have a peacekeeping role? Hellyer has stated four advantages of a single service. these being identity,careers., adaptability of change., and demands of modem warfare. He feels that with a common identity we will be recognized around the world, and the soldier, sailor, and airman will be moz:e loyal. This will mean the forces will have to give up loyalties to old regiments. Hellyer says that with unification careers will be wider, more challenging, and more rewarding. To prove or disprove this is difficult. He also feels that a unified force will provide flexibility to meet challenging requirements in defense organization, made necessary by advances in military technology. Finally, an integrated force will make faster decisions needed in modern warfare. But are swifter decisions right decisions? Actually one cannot be too critical of the advantages which Hellyer has attributed to his plan, except to ask if they are important enough to make radical changes in Canada's armed forces necessary. The unification of Canada•s armed forces is a serious matter., and should not be taken lightly. This bill is causing much bitterness in Ottawa, and it should not be pushed through the House of Commons. The best thing the Liberals could do is to call an end to this session, to cool off angry heads, and to slow down the process of unification until it can be very thoroughly examined.

Radio personalities, along with certain members of our elite local high schools have condemned the ARGUS as this University's answer to HUSH and MIDNIGHT (not to mention The READER'S DIGEST); and so_ it ~as come about that one high school has asked this editor not to bring the newspaper to his school and it has passed that certain members of this community have confused the ARGUS as being an administration publi.cation. And therefore the ARGUS has experienced some trying moments. But before we continue, we must add that this editorial is not an apology to the administration for the infinitesmal harm we have done. And we are sure that the administration would not want an apology or even expect one. We as editors must be ready to print something in which we believe and then expect deluge. It is our duty to the students of this community. The actual reason for this editorial is one of clearing up a few misconceptions. First of all, we are not the administration newspaper. We are the supposed voice of the student. And as such we have to expect to rub the administration and the two cities the wrong way sometimes. But once again we are not the administration newspaper. The opinions we express are those of the editorial board. And since they are our opinions we think it ridiculous that the administration should suffer because of our stating them. Secondly, another fact must be cleared up in this editorial. Citizens of this university and of the two cities have been disturbed to see that the ARGUS actually carries some sex and socialism in it, and as such should be publicly and universally condemned. Great Scott, when will you learn that a student newspaper role is that resembling a Hyde Park soapbox? If someone has something to say that we think is legitimate, we will print it. Yes, Virginia, some people have something to say about sex, Cohen and Ginsberg, and Marx. And we' re not goin~ to stop them .... and pretend that these things just don t • exist...... Believe it or not they do. Perhaps it is our fault in a way too. We might just have gone too far, too fast. We still have to remember that this university is only a few years old. And perhaps the Lakehead is not ready for something that has been happening all across Canada for the last twenty years in other student papers. And perhaps we haven't realized this fact as we should have. For this we will apologize .. Thirdly., there has been some comment on our sending the ARGUS to local high schools. Cries of protest from parent and teacher have made their way to this paper. And it appears that their kids Just aren't ready for the rigours of student newspaper. This we find difficult to believe. Let's face it. Supposedly this paper is given only to the Grade 13's who probably will be going to college ·next year. If they aren't ready for this now., they never will be. Why should they have to be protected? If they have any kind of upbringing at all they should be able to make up their own mind concerning whether LSD is what they want or not or whether they join the NOP or not. And if you still don't trust us, one word of warning. Don't send your kid to the University of Western Ontario. Those unmentionables run nude shots every week in the paper. II Something- they haven't done anything yet. There's nottoo much to say. What can they do? Unless they're dishing out money they' re no help to me. Judy Francis, Arts I I'm satisfied with what CUS is doing right now. I Ron Simons, Forestry Who? CUS? Is that what you want? I think they should give us discounts since we' re really poor and we need all the money we can get cause Foresters don't make very much money in the summer. II What's CUS? When I was on Council last year they made a big fuss about bringing CUS in here, but &o far this year I haven't heard anything about what they've done. It looks like nothing came from all that trouble. There should be more action in the administration on the students' behalf, instead of travel posters. Dave Parsons, Arts Karen Nielson, Nursing I They should introduce travel plans for Nursing students. If they worked their discounts on the same lines that the Nurses did they might get a better deal. They should also make people realize this is a University town., now. Dan Murphy, Forestry II I think they should make themselves better known so that we can see what they' re supposed to be doini. The average studentdoesn tknow what to expect from a11 organiZation like this. They should advertise themselves better.

A timid CUS mouse requesting reactionary jackasses like your average AMS, SAC, et al to fight for progressive change invites disaster. If CUS wants militancy it had better start screaming. Rallys, protests, marches, riots. terrorism, guerrila warfare, anything. It must have the majority of students actively behind it if it is to succeed. Then there's solidarity. If CUS has a policy which students genuinely want, or should genuinely want, they must know what it is. The key here is education. The average Canadian student doesn't know what CUS is and CUS must reach him • Not by bland little write-ups in campus papers, but by participation in something concrete, whether it be sit-in, seminar, or seance. ROD PHILLIPS Viet Peace Hopes The most immediate threat to worldpeace at the beginning of 1967 is undoubtedly the . war in Vietnam. Recently there have been major develoPments in all aspects of this tragic conflict. On the military front: The number of U.S. troops in Vietnam has surpassed the total in Korea at the height of the war in that country. Allied troop strength has also increased greatly, instances being thesendingof 1,000 Thai troops to Vietnam, and the transfer of New Zealand troops from the Malaysian to • Vietnamese war theatres. U.S. bombing of north Vietnam has been intensified, and the Pentagon has finally admitted that targets other than •military objectives• may have been hit--but this admission came only after on-the-spot reports from Harrison Salisbury, associate editor of the NewYork Times. Developments on what might be called the 'peace front' are more complex. There have been the usual U.S. offers to negotiate if the National Liberation Front and north Vietnamese· will agree to surrender. These offers have met with theexpectedrebuffs,although at the time of this writing it seems that the Hanoi government may be willing to relax its conditions for negotiations if the U.S. bombing of north Vietnam is halted. It is difficult to see to what this suggestion may lead. At this point it may be useful to examine Letters to the Editor Dear Sirs: The headline on page 3 of your Nov. 25/66 issue, along with parts of the editorial, •No Discount Son•, I feel need some clarification and further thought.

ARGUS FULL MEMBER OF CUP The Argus became the thirty-third full member of the Canadian University Press at the 29th Annual CUP Conference inMontreal December 27 to 30. Other university papers admitted to full membership were the Protem (York), the Excalibur (York), the Quill (Brandon, the Badger (Brock), and the Lance (Windsor). The motion granting full membership to Argus was presented by the U.W.O. Gazette and seconded by the Sheaf (Saskatoon, Sask..). The motion was passed unan-. imously. the various agencies for peace, and evaluate their potential usefulness. 'l'here have been appeals for the United Nations to step in and mediate in the conflict--which the Secretary-General U Thant, has expressed a willingness to do. However, the north Vietnamese take the view that 'while most countries think of the United Nations as the cat's whiskers, the United States thinks of it as the cat's paw' and it is most unlikely that UN mediation would be accepted. The Pope has also offered to help in any attempt to bring the war to a conclusJ,on but thus far his attempts--such as his expressed desire that the Christmas and New Year cease-fires be extended into a general truce--have had little visible effect. The third main group which has proposed solutions for the war is individual nations and groups of nations--such as India, Great Britain, Yugoslavia, Canada, and a number of 'non-aligned' countries. However, it seems that which ever country proposes a solution is unacceptable to either north Vietnam and the National Liberation Front or to the U.S. and its allies. It appears then that the only successful moves towards peace will have to be made by those nations actually involved in the conflict and on can only hope that one side will soon take a realistic initiative. ing around a three thousand dollar deficit at the end of the year. Oh. One more thing. If you could lend us your typewriter sometime, it would be -appreciated. Our margin of profit is so great that the Argus staff is operating extremely smoothly with one (1) broken, typewriter. How about that, Mr. Stitt. Dear Sir: The obligations of a newspaper editor are many and varied: his paper should be of interest to the public it wishes to reach; it should be topical, controversial and stimulating. But controversy and stimulus should remain within the boundaries of good taste. And, in my opinion, any material which specifically intends to offend is in bad taste.

Day Laban. This editor (Literary) could not hope to put in better words the basic ideas presented in paragraph one of the above letter. They have long been pursued by responsible newspaper editors everywhere. · However, we at the Argus have always tried to keep this policy in mind. The poem in question was not reprinted with the specific intent of offending the reading public. Rather, this journal carried this item in the function of a democratic medium for individual expression of all opinion and belief. The poem was not written for shockvalue alone'. Blanche Hodder, an atheist and excellent writer, has merely stated her views. Since the immediate reading public that this newspaper wishes- to reach comprises the students and faculty of this University, such articles are interesting, perhaps educational, certainly controversial. This week the Argus literary page has followed through with another article by Miss Hodder, which should be of special interest. Although her presentation is 'the problem of morality and the atheist', it is understood that the Argus neither supports nor persecutes atheism. Goodness, we're independent!

Presidents BLAST PLAN The Spinks report, a surprisingly explosive document, has been shat upon by every Ontario University president. It's authors started out quietly in 1965 to examine postgraduate programmes andfacilities in the fourteen Ontario universities. With five new and three re-organized universities all clamouring for a share of financial grants and with the older institutions insisting that scarce resources be restricted to graduate schools at the larger universities, the government decided to invite three out-of-province referees to arbitrate. The three-man commission led by J. W. T. Spinks, president of the University of Saskatchewan, gave them more than they bargained for. It proceeded to examine the entire problem of co-operation and communications between Ontario universities. •The most strikingcharacteristic of higher-not only graduate-education in Ontario is the complete absence of a master plan, of an educational policy, and of a co-ordinating authority for the provincially supported institutions.• •we found widespread lip-service to the need for province-wide consultation, but only a few examples of effective action.• Thus Mr. Spinks and his associates challenged the entire structure of interuniversity affairs. The present method through which universities obtain government grants involves applying (separately and in secret) to the Committee on University Affairs, an advisory board which recommends to the government what allocations to make. The commission described this committee as •quite unsuited" to the task at hand. The universities •compete with eachotherfor their share of the annual appropriations, and the di... rection and rate of their development is determined not by rational and unified planning but by their individual ingenuity in securing funds.• Besides the criticism, the report made very specific recommendations. It called for three major changes: The creation of an Ontario Universities Research Council to administer funds f9r graduate fellowships and research facilities. The establishment of an Ontario Universities Library System centred atU.ofT. with branches at the research libraries of other universities so that all re- . sources would be pooled and available to graduate students throughout the province. The incorporation of a provincial University of Ontario which would be a federation of existing statesupported universities and with headquarters at U. of T. • As already stated, the reaction of the universities has been hostile. The university presidents, who had the report for more than two months before its release, made sure that a garbled version was planted with the Toronto press, whereupon most of them denounced it thoroughly. When the full report was published, Minister of Education Davis and Dr. J.A. Corry, principal of Queens University, the chairman of the committee of university presidents, dismissed its recommendations as being cumbrous ~nd complicated solutions and involved more change than was necessary to solve the problems etc. Thus the issue is deadfor all intents and purposes. Its recommendations will undoubtedly be passed on to yet another royal commission whose findings will be similarly buried. Yet it seems clear that the Spinks report has at least had a purgative effect and forced the universities to produce some alternate solutions on their own. Mr. Corry has cited the formation of a council through which the universities will co-operate in the planning of an orderly pattern of graduate education and research and a comparable council of university librarians. Coordination will be achieved, according to Mr. Corry, by strengthening the existing Committee on UniversityAffairs. On the thorny problem of competition rather ~n cooperation in requests for government grants Messrs. Davis and Corry have announced that ' the Committee on University Affairs will be strengthened. The fact that the government has never turned down an approved requisition for funds was likely a major factor in the university s decision to reJectthe report. t, Sometimes I get a fairly good kick by knocking some orP,nization which has rubbed me the wrong way, and then acceptingtheirapology. I hope Expo and her officials read this column and shape up. The other week as I was existing around Montreal I found myself at the Place Des Arts along with most of the English speaking University newspaper editors of Canada, at an official Expo press conference. In the other corner of the auditorium were most of the French speaking editors of Quebec student papers. The scene could have only been created by somesadistic, race bigot (at least that's the thought I had as I left the building later shaking). The two armed camps were introduced for thefirst time to each other as the press conference opened. All waa O.K. as a word had yet to be spoken. In fact it would have been great if they would have packed it up there, when everyone was congratulating himself for not being a racial bigot.

The Lakehead sent six representatives, two of them attending Lakehead University. Bryan Springgay, Arts II, attending the parliament for his third year held a ministerial post in foreign affairs while Jim • Purdon, Science I, attending for the first time, sat as a , back-bencher. The debate in Boy's Parl.. iament evolved around four bills presented by the Minister of ForeignAffairs,Canadian Affairs, Religious Affairs, and the Secretary of State. Manyoftheclauses in these bills were of interest to all Canadians and particularly to students in the secondary- university age bracket. In the Bill in the Interest of State, one important clause was passed. .This provided that the federal government pay tuition and living expenses of all university students as long as they meet certain require.. ments. A clause statingthat all federal and provincial legislators be required to have university degrees was deleted after heated debate. Certain clauses in the Resolution in the Interest of Religious Affairs received fiery and emotional debate. An attempt by the minister to make all future clergymen in the Church celibate was defeated by a vote of 89-9. Clauses stating that the church should institute two-year trial marriages and condone voluntary euthanasia were passed. In Canadian Affairs many controversial issues were r I :i)o passed. Forexample,homosexuality between consenting adults was legalized as were all abortions. Divorce would be granted to adults after two years of separation. • The drinking and voting ages were lowered to eighteen. In the Bill in the Interest of Foreign Affairs, the parliament passed the majparliament passed the majority of resolutions. There was almost unanimous agreement that Canada withdraw from NA TO and NORAD and that Canada should integrate her armed forces. As a solution to the crisis in Vietnam Canada is to demand the immediate withdrawal of American troops from South Vietnam and bring the situation before the United Nations. Several private members bills were also discussed during the parliament. One of these states that •whereas the antiquated monarchial system has no relevance to modem day Canada•, that constitutional amendments be made to the B.N.A. Act to abolish the position of the monarchy in the Canadian Parliament and that the Governor-General be made figurehead President of Canada. Much to the dismay of the conservative parlia.. mentarians, the bill was passed.

' Moffett's reports will be released by CUP throughout the course of the publishing year. CPS is an agency of the United States Student Press Association, with which CUP maintains a regular news exchange. An American citizen, Moffett has lived in China, Japan, and Korea, where his father is superintendant of a Presbyterian hospital. He was 1956-66 editor ,of the Yale Daily News. This is the first of a series of introductory articles written by Moffett in Saigon. He describes the social context in which the war in Vietnam, is being fought. Part I SAIGON (C PS)--Last year at this time I was writing editorials calling the American war in Vietnam unjust,. illegal and anti-democratic. I could still make a case for the last two (it has occurred to me since that a just war is a contradiction in terms). But after a month in Vietnam, I am clear on one thing: nothing here is that simple, nothing is that black-and-white. Those who talk about Vietnam in these terms, and on the other hand those who mouth cliches about defending democracy andfreedom against Communist aggression, have reduced one of the most complicated and agonizing situations in modern history to shibboleths. Worse, they have succeeded in making these shibboleths Vinually the only terms of the public debate on Vietnam. The following analysis is quasi-sociological. It may strike some as an intellectual game; I see it rather as an attempt to step back a bit and establish a frame of reference against which further analysis and interpretation may be measured. It may also suggest some of the hazards involved in basing value judgments · either on deadline press reports or on personal political preferences. It is based on three assumptions: (1) What is happening here is as important as what should be happening here; (2) What is happening may in the course of time affect what should happen, i.e., the use of power and the objective conditions to !Which it gives rise may either undermine or create a moral prerogative: morality, like power, is not static, and must sometimes be measured in relative terms; (3) Neither what is happen;lng here, nor what should be !happening here, are very adequately understood by most Americans. • • • There is a struggle going on in South Vietnam between two groups of people, each ()f them numbering several :millions: in effect they are ~o s~parate societies, co- existing within the same geo-graphical boundaries. Each is trying to organize, strengthen and sanction itself while weakening or destroying the other. Though each group numbers millions, they are both led by relatively small lites which have developed their own traditions, their own social values, and their own vested interests. The majority in each group are people who, through varying degrees of sophistication, are influenced by the traditions and values of their elite but have little stake in its vested interests. They are people like civil servants, interested in salaries and a modicum of culture, personal freedom ~nd opportunity for advancement; or merchants, interested in the free flow of trade and economic stability; or soldiers, interested in winning without getting killed, recognition for bravery and home leave; or farmers, interested in the weather, the market for pigs, owning their 9wn land and being left alone. These people have been at war for over 20 years, almost all of them are interested in staying alive. This is •not to say that the majority in each group do not particiv..9:te in the culture of their elites--they do,. and often by choice. But it seems likely that in a showdown many in either group would be willing to dissociate themselves from their own elite and exchange its culture for that of the other, so long as their own popular and private interests were not seriously threatened. In other words, the ideological and material interests of the two elites are not quite so important to their respective sub-groups, • except where expen and intense p:i;:opaganda has taken effect over long periods of time (as it has in some areas on both sides).

It • is against the above background that one can appreciate the cruel fate which has befallen the Vietnamese people--a victim of the mistakes of the statesmen of the great powers, as well as the follies of their own leaders. • • • Both the physical war and the psychological war are being fought here at several different levels. There is a struggle to build and destroy infrastructures in each of some 16,000 hamlets. There are squadandplatoonsized engagements between local guerillas and government militia, called Popular Forces. There are terrori§t bombings at luxury hotels and in peasant markets. The Viet Cong are trying to build up troop concentrations while avoiding pitched battles in the rich Mekong Delta;- government leaders, largely through the intermediate agency of U.S. Special Forces, are trying to win the loyalty of the Central Highland Montagnards, who are generally looked down upon by all Vietnamese, Communist and non-communist. South of the Demilitarized Zone, full-fledged conventional battles rage between battalions (roughly 1,000 men each) of American Ma.rines and North Vie·mamese regulars. 'Pacification' cadres from one side or the other are at work in every one of South Viet Nam• s 42 provinces. The struggle has now spilled well beyond the borders of South Viet Nam and has become in effect a regional war. Anti-government activity is reported increasing in Laos, northeastern Thailand, and even Burma, while the Hanoi government claims North Viet Nam is about to be invaded. Finally, the international political implications for the rest of Southeast Asia--from Indonesia to East Pakistan-are enormous. And however Americans want to slice it, Southeast Asians are the two major protagonists--competing for power, influence and the vindication of ideology--as the United States and China. This, then is your simple war. It is true that American 1 warplanes are bombing and . burning and killing civilians, more than you will ever read about in the papers. It is also true that the Viet , Cong disembowel good province chiefs, or bad ones, and they do run prison camps under conditions not so far removed from those of Dachau. The only thing these two state111,ents prove is that war is hell, and modern guerilla war is worse than any other kind. What is going on here has two sides, in every usage of the word. It is not just . a slaughter of panicularly innocent, peace-lovingvilla' gers. Nor is it a particularly democratic defense of freedom against terror and tyranny from without. It is a total war. �.I___F__•i\__G_f_:_NINE ______...I ~::.~~~~~~~~~~-!~~r!~!![!DK Memorial University, st. John's, N/1.d ., December , 1965 Paperllaek Review ''What Can You Do'' From the obscure pen of James Leigh comes fresh proof that any young man, given emotional balance, a superior intellect, and ingenuity of approach, can reap year-round harvests if he cultivates the proper fields and .sows his seeds with discretion. But What Can You Do is not a guide-book for every Tom, Dick and Harry with an erection and no place to go. Rather, it is a philosophical dissertation by a stableminded eighteel)-year-old who uses psychology to advantage in resolving any and all situations. Psychology is the key. Phil Fuller (the stable-minded eighteen-year-old) uses his tender psychology to unlock sexual doors that no amount of mental battering would - destroy. Consider his relationship with Debbie Wilson, whose mother had invented 'ninety-eight ways to keep {Debbie's) pants on and still have the boys howling under {Debbie's) window/ Many young men had tried to navigate (Debbie's) passages, only to suffer shipwreck at Journey's beginnings by one or more of ninety-eight ways. Phil realizes ~t overcoming Debbie's conditioned misgivings would mean clear sailing to the harbour that he consciously and she subconsciously wants to reach, so he auto-suggestively creates an image of 'This is Bigger than Both of Us' that eventually results in Debbie's undoing (her straps) and Phil's doing ( ). Philosophy: Tell them what they want to hear and you've got it made. And then there's Mallory, Phil's English professor, the husband of a granite-visaged woman. Phil gives the professor some extra-curricular entertainment (pleasantfaced Antonia) and a sense of achievement (I'm teaching a genius!) Philosophy: Give and get. The book itself is no major stylistic accomplishment, nor does it contain any literary value as such. But for philosophical and psychological techniques, and more than a few laughs, give me James Leigh. On second thought, give me Debbie Wilson!

He brought order and the Union Jack to such far away places as China and Africa. The Sudan was his favourite outpost, and Khartoum 1t• s chief city, held his most cherished memories. But by 1884, having been away on diplomatic service elsewhere for five years, he had no real plans for returning. At that time however, a Moslem •prophet' rose up to challenge the British in North Africa. Prime Minister Gladstone preferred to let Africa go, but the public demanded action, so Gordon was sent as a gesture, with the hope that his personality might help restore peace. Alas, not so, for Gordon found his opponent as dedicated as himself; and so he laid his life and honour on the line in one final bid to avert disaster. These are the events in which KHARTOUM is set. Julian Blaustein bas assembled a marvellous cast to tell the tale. Charlton Heston gives the most refined perfor- . mance of his life, in a surprising portrait of dignity and control, as Gordon. Sir Laurence Olivier is equally magnificent as the Mahdi, the fanatic who is completely convinced of his cause and victory. The best job however, is done by Sir Ralph Richardson, who lends just the right touch of unscrupulousness, cunning and hypocritical piety to his character of Gladstone. ;}),aw60n ~ ;;;~;,;o sE;;E ;~~ L,,,,:,::;:~==--•Y.❖j:S CENTENNIAL SQUARE FORT WILLIAM PHILOSOPHY OF DRESS SUITS • SPORTCOATS - SLACKS BY MICHAELS-STERN ROCHESTER, NEW YORK OLIVER ROAD ESSO SERVICE I 2>2 ARTHUR STREET Port Arthur Fart WD1lam. 0.L OPEN , ..

From the very beginning Mao did not let himself become involved and remained throughout the stormy scenes a figure in the shadows until his reappearance in Peking in the fall of 1966. As soon as the first round was concluded, the Mao-Lin team lost no time in getting ready for the second. They employed one of the traditional communist implements--the mob. Thus students, workers and soldiers were organized as the Red Guard in order to stir up the public and get rid of their opponents. But they did not realize that the same technique was employed by the other camp until the Red Guards were out of control of either party. The term •Red Guard' was derived originally from a picture taken many years ago, in which Mao was in uniform wearing an armband with three Chinese characters showing Hung Wei Ping (Red Guard). Under the present circumstances, it is difficult to predict which side will survive. But so far this much is clear: Neither side can win with a hand of limited trumps. Each awaits the other to make the wrong move. FL ASH -1967 AUSTIN Now Available ONLY Two reports have come in as of 'January 6, concerning unusual carnival stunts.

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

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

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

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

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

Therefore, you might call this the Christmas issue. And if it is, then there should be a Christmas message in it. This is supposed to be that message. Religiously speaking, Christmas is a day of significance. Perhaps it tends to ht; a dogmatic significance, but nevertheless significant. The Man was different. He was a humanist in a time of inhumanity. So this is significant too. There is only one catch. If what is. celebrated is so important to humanity, why is it possible to put together the montage on this page And why bother celebrating humanity's gain at all, when it means nothing humanistically to so many? Just a small catch perhaps, but again a significant one. And a fleeting one. We don't think of it on that day. You won't either, probably. So why bother? -cg.

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

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

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

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

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

Their leaders and councillors met often to discuss these difficulties, but progress was slow; and the people were troubled in their hearts.

A crowd gathered, and some of the councillors, too, listened, albeit surreptitiously. A fair and simple maiden, who appeared to be in her late forties, asked shyly: "And who might vou be, Sir Knight?" "I am called, though I know not why, the Nut Brown Knight. And I have travelled in many lands, and many things have been revealed to me, which are known unto few. I know of your difficulties; and I am come to tell you that they are caused by a certayne Fierce and Invisible Dragon, which worketh unseen amongst you." A Councillor stepped forward. "Sir Knight, we know of no Dragon. Our problems are more in the wav of unemployment, inflation, race tensions, fear of war . . . " With only a trace of irritation, the Knight rejoined: "This seerneth. And in spite of this vicious personal attack and criticism, I will go on." He went on.

"Funny you should ask me that; for as it happens, I know. You must seek out one amongst you who is Wholly Pure, and pay him, say, 18,000 silver dinars a year, and send him to do Battle with this Dragon." The citizens and councillors looked glum. Not only because of the 18,000 silver dinars, but because each of them suspected that he himself was not Wholly Pure, and each knew full well none of the others was either.

He was an exceedingly handsome specimen-such a pretty shade of dull black. One day, as I was contemplating the intricacies of Philosophical Thought, my professor who occupied the chair immediately beside mine, said unto me: "Behold! There on the floor- a spider. I shall crush him into the linoleum!" Much taken aback, I said unto him: "Hold fast; harm him not. Do you not understand that this small spider is one of Nature's very Masterpieces Can you not realize that to destroy this creature would be to upset want .>nly Nature's delicate balance " I was great. It was my finest hour. Greatly humbled, my professor pondered my words of infinite wisdom. In a profound tone, he then said unto me some words which I never forgot. He said: "Horse manure!" For seven days and seven nights I thought upon his sage revelation. It was as a different person that I returned to that seminar room. When I succeeded in persuading the spider to emerge from his niche in the wall, I crushed him into the linoleum. -RICK BRYAN midnight girl I saw you blow your mind silver skinned lady of the inner cavern sactum full of family economy size extra value minds of cut glass mirrors for a public face.

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

The concert series will present four concerts by the widely - acclaimed Canadian Festival Quartet and a special concert by Canada's internationally - recognized soprano, Lois Marshall, accompanied by a chamber orchestra under the direction of Boris Brott. The Festival Quartet will open the series this Sunday. Lakehead University Music Director Boris Brott, in making the announcement today, said the title "Intimacy'' was an appropriate description of the concert series. "Intimacy is the natural name for an all-embracing evening of inti.mate participation "in music," he said. "Low lights, a soft arm chair and your very own quartet almost at arms length . . . what could be more inspiring!" Eugene Kowalski, second violin "Music tends to be viewed in terms of stiff shirts, tailcoats and a mausoleum-type atmosphere," he continued. "I believe that this image must be changed and that is exactly what we are trying to do in this series. The University Theatre is warm and comfortable, the programme will be informal and a reception will be held after the concert so that everyone can meet and talk with the anists." The Canadian Fest iv a 1 Quartet is made up of four outstanding musicians in their own right. The leader, violinist Arthur Polson is one of Canada's most gifted solo artists and is also concertmaster of the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra. He is joined by Eugene Kowalski, the associate concert-master of the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra, John Gaska, who acted as concertmaster for "Hello D o 11 y" national company with Betty Grable and is now first viola with the Win- nipeg Symphony Orchestra James Hanter, cello arid cellist James Hunter, China f ram the inside dred Million," there was a Chinese school girl repeating a rhyme about hating the American imperialists. I think this was badly misunderstood in the west. There is very little bitterness towards other nationalities among the Chinese. They believe that 95 percent of the American people are basically good, but have been misguided and exploited by a corrui>!._ leadership. They are much more conscious of bourgeous versus proletariate divisions in humanity than of national ones. The standard of living in China is also much better than the western press po~ays it to be, at least with regard to basics. Mroicine is very modem, at least as far advanced as the west in many fields. And there is a hospital attached to every factory. The infant mortality rate is very low. No one has died of malnutrition for more than three years. SUPPORT HANOI GOVERNMENT The Chinese position on Vietnam is that they will send volunteers whenever they are asked for. Chou en Lai has said that if the Americans invade the northern part of Viet- cont'd from p. 1 nam, the Chinese will recognize no borders. In connection with the Vietnam issue, it is interesting to note that the Hanoi government .officially denied charges made by Moscow that China tampered with war materials being shipped to Vietnam. Tbe Sino-Soviet dispute is definitely serious. The Chinese regard revisionism as a more dangerous enemy than imperialism, because imperialists are open, out and out enemies, while the revisionists pose as revolutionaries. The Chinese feel that the Russians have betrayed the revolution. The Chinese are quite receptive toward Canadians. The first thing they asked me when they found out that I was Canadian was "Do you know Dr. Bethune?" He was a man loved throuJ?}iout China. The Chinese view of the Canooian economic position in the world is that we are an economic colony of the U.S.A., and as such are incapable of taking a meaningful position on international issues. I think we, as Canadians, are realizing more and more that this is the truth. \Ve have sold our souls for the canned food, canned thoughts, culture, and we're going to have our hands full buying it back.

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

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

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

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

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

Nor'Westers still in race for /CHA crown The Lakehead University Nor'Wester hockey team kept their league championship hopes alive as they defeated the Wisconsin State University Yellow Jackets twice last weekend. In the first game, played Friday, the Yellow Jackets jumped into a 2-0 lead by the three minute mark of the first period only to have the Nor'Westers roar back to take a 6-2 lead by the end of the first session. The second period was all Wisconsin State as they scored three unanswePed goals to trail 6-5 at the second break. Both teams opened up to provide the fans with a fast rushing p(!riod that had the score deadlocked at 7-7 with two minutes remaining in the game. Lakehead University then struck for two fast goals to win the game 9-7. The second game started off on a much more cautious note with the first period ending with neither team able to score a goal. At the 5 minute mark of the second period Boyd Hussey was "axed" by Bruce Chicoine and suffered a broken jaw. Goal tending duties were then taken over by Randy Wilkie. By the end of the second stanza Wisconsin State had taken a 2-1 lead, Lakehead University's only mark coming from the stick of Clare Battiston. Dave Siciliano scored the tieing marker at 1:59 of the third period setting the stage for one of the most exciting periods of hockey Lakehead University has been a part of this year. Murray Smith scored what proved to be the winner at 19:50 of the final stanza as he deflected a shot by Clare Battiston that irolled up the arm and over the shoulder of Gary Lapinski, the Wisconsin State University goalie, and dropped just inside the goal crease. Lakehead University now has an ICHA record of 4 wins and 2 losses, tieir..g them with Bemidji State College who have an identical record, both teams trailing Lake Superior State College who have a perfect 6-0 record. Lakehead University· has asked for the indefinite suspension of Bruce Chicoine leading to a life suspension from the ICHA for his unprovoked attack on goalie Boyd Hussey. Said Henry Akervall, coach of the Nor'W esters, "Our league is a fast, strong hockey league with the emphasis on good sportsmanship and the maintaining of high academic standards. Chicoine has broken the good sportsmanship code with the most vicious slash I have seen in hockey. A man like that does not belong in this league." Nor'Westers travel to Brandon for two games January 13 and 14 before their next home games, January 16 and 17 against the University of Winnipeg. Holidays hamper basketballers' performance '·We only played one decent half in the two games we played over the weekend," lamented Coach George Birger when reviewing his team's performance against the Wisconsin State · University Yellow Jackets Friday and Saturday. "The three week layoff since our last game (for exams and holidays) was too long and the fellows didn't really get untracked until the second half of the second game." The first game Friday had Lakehead University trailing by three at the half but the Yellow Jackets came on strong to win 69-57. The Nor'Westers were led by their high scoring forward Don Holmstrom who scored 21 points with Roy Holman hooping 12, and Lloyd Koski 10. Lou Pero was the top rebounder on both teams as he gathered in 15 from the boards. The team made only 23 of 92 attempts from the field for a 25 percent average while outshooting the_ir opponents by 12. The margin of victory for t h e Yellow Jackets, who took only 80 shots, w a s their better shooting average of 34 percent. The s e c o n d basketball game, played Saturday, was much closer as the Lakehead University five raised their shooting percentage to 27 percent while holding their opponents to 32 percent. The N or'Westers trailed by 5 at the end of the low scoring first half, 18-13 but were never able to close the gap as they lost 54-49. Again it was Don Holmstrom w.ith 27 points and Rob Woods following with 12. This brings the. season record to 6 wins and 8 losses for the Lakehead University hoopsters. A modernistic sculpture by one of Ontario"s noted artists Gustav Weisman, A.R.C.A., O.S.A. graces the foyer of Lakehead University's new .$2,500,000 library. The giant sculpture was installed over the holidays and was there to greet s urprised students on Wednesday morning when classes resumed. The work has no name and has no theme. "It's identity is its exi st ence and therefore i t needs no name, " explained Mr. Weisman. "There is no theme because the sculp• ture is an experience. I would like people to come to it with an open mind and experience it in passing. I want them to come to know it and enjoy it by becoming involved. Do not look for what it represents or means but allow its shape, fonns and lines to reveal its identity to you as a personal thing."• Mr. Weisman is well known in this area. An instructor in drawing and painting stain glass design at the Ontario College of Art in Toronto, he taught at the Quetico Centre three years ago and two summers ago returned to the Lakehead to teach at the Lakehead School of Fine Art. He has spent much time in this region off and on drawing and painting and has spent two years here as a forest ranger. Although Mr. Weisman stresses that the sculpture has no theme, he does admit his special feeling for the north affected the design. "It is 0£ the north .. . the spirit of the north shore 0£ Lake Superior can be found there ... the underlying spirit of the land and what comes of the land," he mused. "It is timeless in this sense ... not of today or yesterday but of all time.•• A Lithuanian by birth, Mr. Weisman came to Winnipeg as a young boy and received his early education there. He took his early training in Toronto and later earned scholarships for postgraduate work in Mexico in sculpture and fresco painting. Other examples of his sculpture can be found in Toronto University Lutheran Church and the Pitney Bowes Company Building in Toronto. His stained glass work can be seen in St. Phillips Anglican Church in. Toronto, Westbury United Church, Ottawa and the Ontario Ladies College in Whitby. He is also past president of the Canadian Group of Painters. The sculptu~e is on display from 8:30 a.m. until midnight Monday through Friday and 9 a.m. witil 5 p.m. on Saturdays. University President Dr. W. G. Tamblyn said the wiiversity library was the natural setting for the sculpture. "Art has an important role to play in a library and for that matter in university life in general. People read books for relaxation, information and to help develop their abilities to understand and appreciate the world about them . Art has the same role to play."' "We are fully aware of the fact that it is the function of a university to introduce and expose students to art and art forms just as we introduce them to great literature and music . Our mosaic sculpture in the original university building and our new sculpture are two steps towards this aim. It is my own personal hope in the future that the university will be able to develop an art gallery for the enjoyment of not only our university community but the people of Northwestern Ontario as a whole."• Dr. Tamblyn explained that many universities have been able to build up an impressive gallery through the co-operation of local donations. He said the University was hopeful that a donor would be found for the new sculpture was a beginning step. UBC student Senators frustrated, want to resign Vancouver (CUP) -Three frustrated student Senators at the University of British Columbia want to resign. Senators Ray L a r s e n, Gabor Mate, and Kirsten Emmott said, Thursday, January 4, students are being ignored by the Senate. They said the Senate concerns itself with irrelevant issues. The fourth student Sena~ tor, Mark Waldman, will not resign. Students will be asked at a meeting Tuesday, January 9, if they agree with the resignations. All three say they will abide by the wishes of the students they represent. They attacked the Senate mainly because it voted against opening its meetings, because it is ineffectual in dealing with the Board of Governors, and because it is inefficient in its work. The Senators were all elected on a platform of open meetings. "The motion for an -open gallery was defeated 40 votes to 15," said Larsen. "The students' wishes were completely ignored." He said they called for the open meeting vote because of a Canadian Union of Students resolution which states that students should refuse to serve on any closed university governing body. The Senate later campr~ mised on the issue, agreeing to publish an agenda of meetings and a summary of the business covered at each session. Senator Mate said the Senate is ineffectual because of the University's structure. "The students should run the university," he said. "The Senate and the Board of Governors should be abolished." Senator Emmott termed the Senate a rubber stamp with no real power. "The faculties recommend t h e changes and the Board of Governors allots the money," she said. The three also complained of long, tedious meetings which discussed trivia, and the insufficient use of the Senate committees. UBC is among six Canadian universities having students seated on the Senate or equivalent body. �January 11, 1968 THE ARGUS Page 3 International night planned International Night is being sponsored this year by the Arts Society, and will be one of the featured events of Winter Carnival. The programme hopefully will include folk music, folk dancing, et al, from the different cultural groups on campus and in the Lakehead area. In order to make this event possible, we are requesting any student or students on campus or in the area to lend us a hand by preparing an act for the pro- gramme. The act should be characteristic of that person's particular culture. The programme has been planned for 8:00 p .m. on Saturday, January 20, in the University Centre Theatre. There is not much time left and participation by the student body is of utmost importance. Please contact Pentti Paularinne or any of the Arts Executive in the Arts Society office immediately if you are interested in performing. Miss Canada to attend Donna Barker, Miss Dominion of Canada, will be a guest at the International Show. Miss BaTker w ill be in the Lakehead Saturday, to take part in the activities of the University's Winter Carnival.

Why two years with Cuso may put you five years ahead in your field. For one thing, there's the kind of experience you gain, working in your own field overseas in a developing country for two years. The salary is low, but almost invariably you get broader, more varied experience, and get it earlier than you would in Canada. You learn to handle responsibility-and prove itin a job that lets you test your knowledge, prove your theories, experience the challenge of a different culture. And it is a challenge, working -through Canadian University Service Overseas to help close the knowledge gap that exists between developed and developing nations. Right now, about 900 Canadians are working for CUSO-a non-profit, independent organization-in 40 developing countries around the world, spreading their technical and professional knowledge wherever their particular skills have been requested. But for every request that's filled, so many go unanswered-for lack of people like you. How about it?

So far we have presented a number of thought-provoking discussions on topics covering politics (the Ontario election), economics (T h e Myth of Inflation), and social problems (Racial Discrimination in Northern Ontario), as well as the top rated Canadian movie "Nobody Waved Goodbye." We have had numerous discussions on Model Parliament and its tole in the University and our role in it, and we have been very active in the Lakehead NDP Riding Associations and the Provincial and Federal NDP and NDY organizations. Again, for the rest of the academic year, we intend to continue with this kind of a programme. What we are presenting of course is not necessarily the views of the NDP on or off campus; our purpose is to be thought-provoking and to present discussions on topics which the student body would otherwise not hear. Therefore the purpose behind our activities is to inake everyone at Lakehead University aware of the problems that do exist and of the possible solutions for these problems. We are always looking for suggestions for topics for presentation. If you have any suggestions, please contact any .member of the NDP club, or better yet join the Lakehead University NDP club and get involved. 111111111 1 ,, ' 11111111/llll/ I 1111111111 /: 1111\\\\1 1111 111111//11 illl/1 • 111\11~\.~ •• ~ own Yearbook Only $5.00 ■ I/ll)JI l. . l111Jlil, IIill la1'.w." -was ~ hoppbtgati a I \\\ill COI.U're sou-i-lt- -l,y_;- ,1/{) an! ·Me perils -f.iAI N A TRUE.

If an elected representative uses the power inherent in the position to which he has been elected to further persona I pri nciples, that person is guilty of betraying the measure of trust placed in him by his electorate. the canadian draft problem Draught dodging has taken on a new significance in the Lakehead as in other parts of Ontario. Once again our provincial and federal governments have seen fit to tax the sinner who enjoys a pint every now and then. Not only do the governments get a I ittle extra, but the pub keepers have jumped on the front of the band wagon too. They have increased the cost of a seven and one half ounce glass of beer from 15¢ (the good old days) to a new high 20¢. In a conversatioh with a representative of Dorans Northern - Ontario Breweries, we learned the cost of a 12½ gallon keg of draught beer has risen $2.62. However, the pub keeper collects an increased amount of nearly $8.00 extra profit on that same keg of draught. That six extra dollars comes straight from our pockets, and everyone knows that we don't have much bread to start with. And what about the waiter? No longer ·does that extra nickel change gotowards a glass for him; his boss has looked after that. What can be done about this entire preposterous situation? You could smash draught glasses in protest, picket your local pub, even go on the wagon. Or why doesn't everybody switch to grass? We learned in an intervi·ew with a long-haired spokesman for the Joi ly Green Joint Home-Grown Marijuana Company, a subsidiary of the Flaccid Acid Distributing Co., that pot prices wi 11 be steady for some time yet. Since this substance is illegal, the government can't impose a tax on it and start inflating prices, snowballing them out of proportion. This could be an alternative. A more realistic approach could be an on-campus, cut-rate pub. Laurentian has one. Are we to stand by idly and watch them revel in their glory while we have to treck all the way to the crest of the hi II to quench that terrible thirst? The time is ripe for action on this issue.

A coffee house Sir: Two years ago a group of students at Founders Campus, York U. started a coffee house in an unused room. Today this coffee house is a focal point for many student gatherings, poetry readings - and musical activities. It has increased student oncampus, non-academic activity and supplied a much needed centre for a commuter college . Would it not be possible to follow the York example here at the Lakehead? Few expenditures and little work are required. The lowercafe- teria would supply the small area required. A few tablecloths could be made 'by students and candles could be fitted into bottles (I'm sure bottles could easily be obtarned). A small wooden platform could be constructed and coffee and (possibly) sandwiches could be obtained occasionally. The very existence of this coffee house would act as a catalyst for a number of activities and events not yet existent in the Lakehead. Could not the A.M.S. Council and/ or a group of students act upon this proposal? Pat O Neil) Piss - poor sportsmanship . It was around the 14 minute mark in the second period of the second hockey game this past weekend. From the sketchy accounts we have received, we understand the puck was in the corner at Lakehead's end. One Wisconsin player was backing in on the Lakehead goalie. The goalie pushed him out of the crease, and, tapping him on the shoulder with his stick, said "Watch it buddy -- stay out of the crease." As the play moved out and down the ice, the Wisconsin player turned and golfed his stick at the head of the Lakehead goalie, breaking the goalie's jaw. As the goalie slowly bled, the Wisconsin man went off the ice. Five minutes for slashing, and a game misconduct. That was Saturday. On Sunday afternoon, Boyd Hussey, Lakehead's injured goalie, was in the operating room of St. Joseph's Hospital having his jaw wired back together. Hockey is a tense game, we will agree but smashing in an opponent•s head is entirely uncalled for under any circumstances. The Lakehead Athletic Department is sending a telegram to the league officials asking for the suspension of this Wisconsin player. This most recent incident is his third offense against the Nor'Westers in as many years. And if he is not kicked out of the league entirely, it will be because of nothing less than di vine intervention or slack officials. To our goalie we say, "Too bad he wasn't kicked out two years ago, after the first offense." And to the league we ask, .. Why wasn't he?" �January 11, 1968 Page 5, THE ARGUS University reform and the Macpherson report For years perceptive undergraduate students at Canadian universities ha v e sensed how depressingly inadequate were their institutions. Sincere but disjointed criticisms were made, but lost in the roar of the machinery; brilliant students dropped out, utterly mediocre sycophants e a r n e d Ph.D's. But n ot h in g much changed. Now it has. This has been the school year when all the accumulated grievances of many years have been laid bare, and every university has felt the pressure of discontent. It has also been the year which produced THE definitive reference related to university reform, The Macpherson Report. WORK OF SCHOLARS The origin of this exciting document is also significant. It did not come from a new university crusading on behalf of its revolutionary innovations (e.g. Lakehead might be lean but it certainly is not hungry) but from fat old U. of T., a university whose accumulated laurels would have been sufficient to offset criticism for years to come. Furthermore, it is not the tour de force of some radical dropouts, but the considered discussion of six Ph.D's, two M.A.'s, and a token B.A. Also, it was carried financially by the largest university administration in Canada, a group which has a very decided investment in the status quo. Despite all these things which would normally comprise its relevence to an undergraduate st dent, it stands as today's most comprehensive and articulate statement calling for immediate university reform. SOME RECOMMENDATIONS Its recommendations include: - slashing of lecture hours -- emphasis on small group seminars - de-emphasis on final examinations - abolition of finals in seccond year - "freedom" in science labs - student evaluation of professors - improvement of teaching "quality" - less strict prerequisite demands - direct confrontation with government over grant structure - inclusion of students on all policy-making committees -- adequate counselling at registration - making t h e calendar comprehensible - improvement and expansion of library facilities - reduction of residence fees. CAUGHT IN THE MIDDLE Nevertheless, in spite of its candid appraisal of the shortcomings in undergraduate instruction at U. of T., its careful avoidance of revolutionary recommendations has bound it to failure. It has power, and it is caught in a war on two fronts. On the one hand its terms of reference were too narrow for it to capture a sense of .!'uture, a sense of what the university must do if it is to be relevent. On the other, it is too concerned with exigencies, and with what the myopic pragmatists at the top of the heap are likely even to consider. I am hesitant to continue with this critique, however ambiguous, for the Macpherson Report is both a potent and an invaluable document. It should be read by every student who wishes to understand the immense logistical challenges facing the university administrator. But I cannot resist continuing, if for no other reason but to- illustrate that it might not, indeed, be perfect. REPORT A COMPROMISE The thing which probably stands out most to the hardened student iconoclast is that despite their surprising radicalism, the authors have been too timid to take out all the stops and "say it like it is." However inspired, the report is a compromise. It imaginitively reshuffles the furniture, but ignores the house. Questions related to the basic hypothesis, functions, and aims of the university have been either side-stepped or ignored. For example, in its discussion of examinations it fails to deal with three vital problems which should have at least been recognized. The notion t h a t examinations might be abolished completely is dismissed by asserting the assumption that they are necessary "so long as society expects the university to certify some measure of intellectual competence." The implications by Don Colborne and Julie Wierzbicki arising from thai assertion are never mentioned. Also, the challenge of how to "quantify quality" is ignored, as is any discussion of who is qualified to judge whom. It is assumed that every student can be pinned somewhere arbitrarily on a scale of 1 to 100 and that the niche he is given by another person he does not know (i.e. his professor) is meaningful as the measure of his intellectual accomplishments, relative to many other people he does not know. In this sense, that the report has exceptional breadth but very little depth, lies one aim of the pincer which is bound to destroy it. The widespread notion that education as we know it today is hopelessly anachronistic, and will be proved so within a very few yeairs, is nowhere to be found in this deposition. UNIV'ERSITY EDUCATION IRRELEVENT It is becoming more and more evident that students who plan to spend most of their lives employed at some profession (that in itself is a very debatable proposition) will soon discover that the few "skills" they have learned at university, usually through some accidental process of osmosis, are completely irrelevent to what they will be expected to do. IBM, which spends a good deal of time thinking about the future, already actively "retrains" university graduates in the skills it knows they will need. It considers university education at best a measure of how much stress a person can endure, as well as a guarantee that people who have endured it are well conditioned to acceptance of a strictly regimented life style. For those few students who do not plan to "work" in the traditional sense (and this seems like an unavoidable possibility for many) they are going to have trouble switching life styles when there are no regular lectures, essays, exams, etc., to fill their personal agendas. Thus, in terms of what it should have thought about, the very commendable, but The lecture system questioned "WE RECOMMEND THAT IBE NUMBER OF LECTURES IN EACH NUMBERED COURSE OF INSTRUCTION BE REDUCED TO A MAXIMUM EQUIVALENT OF ONE LECTURE A WEEK OVER THE WHOLE YEAR AND ONE TUJ'ORIAL GROUP A WEEK." This is one of ~ recommendations made by the MacPherson Commission on Undergraduate Instruction in Arts and Science, at the University of_Toronto, late in 1967. The committee was made up of six U of T faculty members, one post-graduate student, and one faculty member of York University. The first concern of the Committee was the problems of teaching and learning. In many submissions to the Committee, disenchantment with lectures was accompanied by enchantment with non-lecture methods--tutorials, seminars, and the like. Upper class honour students said that against their wishes, they came to believe, soon after getting into the swing of things at the University, that they had to treat the lectures as the chief source of learning, and that they found, quite early on, that this was the only way to beat, or live with, the system so as to get the high standing which they were astute enough to realize would be the key to their future, either in employment or by way of graduate fellowships. Also, from other students, their expectations on arrival at university from high school rapidly deteriorated. They had been told at school that the university would be a new intellectual experience, that they would be e,cpected to think independently; they found within a few months that they were required less to think than to amass information, via lectures plus narrowly prescribed textbooks. So MacPherson's belief that lectures should not be regarded as the sole, or main, or sufficient, substance of learning--a student who is not learning much of value, is strengthened by the above comments. What functions are lectures expected to perform? They should provide an overview of a subject, not readily attainabl~ in any one or a few printed works; convey the professor's enthusiasm for his subject; indicate ways of tackling problems of interpretation; show a scholar's mind at work, grappling with ideas and problems; and transmit information, which the student must know in order to understand the subject. Mac Pherson notes that the first four functions cannot be done by print, only by word of mouth (i.e. by lectures). The ·question is whether the lecture is the most efficient way of doing these. However, the students' comments indicate that the present system of lecture courses encourages (cont-'d - page 8) tragically myopic Macpherson Repoirt is "too little and too late." It will be a valuable resource to educational historians as they document the decline and fall of formal education in North America in the later middle of the Twentieth century. INGLORIOUS FATE The other arm of the pincer which will squash the report is of the same type which buries Royal Commission reports in Ottawa. (It is iirresistable to compare the fate of Ottawa's Carter Report in a dying economy to U. of T.'s Macpherson Repor in a dying institution.) It will go through the same cycle: flurry of debate, wide acclamation, p a u s e, disguised doubt, quiet retirement to t h e backroom shelves. UNIVERSITY CHANGE SLOW As the President of the University of Minnesota said last year: "Universities are not noted foir rapid change." In fact the report itself has probably defined the source of its own doom when it states that "(in) any longestablished university . . . the law of inertia ,w ill be found to be operating." Given an expanded frame of reference, I am sure that the report would have reached much the same conclusion for . all universities, in fact for all institutions whose structures are so complex that they must be deified to have any meaning The fact is that it would put too much stress upon the "house of cards" organization of a university to implement fully all of the report's recom.mendations. There are too many "old dogs" at the top who will pay lip service to these new tricks, but who won't be too eager to learn them. It is relatively easy to offer alternatives within a system, but where the system itself is a monolith, it simply hasn't the means to change. In a society which is beginning to change too quickly for its institutions to keep pace, they must be replaced wherever a need is left unfulfilled. For this reason, the Mac:pherson Report was obsolete before it was published. It seeks to upgrade an institution which is being replaced, an institution which is stTucturally incompatable with the late 'l'wentieth Century. Worse than that, it is a compromise. It has failed to grasp the inevitable, yet demands too much within its narrow present, and suffers from both. It is caught in a squeeze play between the old and the new. There is no doubt, however, that it will have a certain "liberalizing" effect, either because its arguments are so irresistable or because the problems it attempts to deal with are so manifest. If this is the case, and universities become a little easier to live with, the report will play a genuinely damaging role by assisting in the perpetuation of a system which would more quickly (and thankfully) die without this timely transfusion. �Morning Drag?

While everybody was supposed to be studying, our great Nor• Wester Basketball Team won two games on December 15 and 16. These games were unusally significant for it was the first time that L.U. has defeated American competition, in the form of Mesabi and Itasca Colleges. Once again Don Holmstrom led the way for the Nor• Westers with 55 points to his credit over the weekend. The whole team played well in the second game as four L.U. players fouled out. Don Holmstrom broke the University one-game scoring record netting 36 points in the first game. He was playing that game with four stitches in his foot. Next home basketball games for the Nor• Westers are on Feb. 3 and 4 against Wisconsin State University. The hockey team plays Jan. 16 and 17 against the University of Winnipeg. *** At the recently held second annual Lakehead University Invitational High School Basketball tournament it was a profitable day for the L.U. students and former students. Bob Elvin, alltime high scorer in Nor'Westers history, is teaching at Hammarskjold and is also coaching the Senior basketball team. The Viking team captured the championship of the tourney. Congratulations to Bob and to the rest of the Gold and Red team. Two other L.U. students and members of the Nor'Westers basketball team, Lloyd Koski and Rob Woods, coached their old alumni PACI team to the tournament consolation championship. *** Before the tournaments, basketball and hockey, I think the athletic department should hold referee clinics to help the officials. Officials did a good job in both tournaments, but there were a few complaints on the hockey tournament. Congratulations are in order to Coach Birger, Coach Akervall, the hard working Bill Shannon and the SAS for putting on the two tournaments. Bill Shannon would be a good choice for the leader of the hockey referee clinic. Bill has conducted hockey clinics and is presently working on a Master's thesis on hockey. Coach Birger would be the logical choice as the conductor of the referees basketball clinic. He had planned one for this year but could not obtain the refereeing films. After a very successful first term as far as sports wins and honors go, I wish all athletic teams more success in the second 'term of 1968. Al Johnson of the hockey team was injured at .practice last weekend and had to have a cartilage operation. I hope Al recovers soon. While recovering, All can take up knitting. Seems his brother's girlfriend Lois McLean ret.:eived a knitted sweater for ·Christmas which Al is reported to have knitted. *** My choice of sportsman of the week goes to Bob Elvin who did a good job coaching the Hammarskjold Vikings to a victory in the basketball tournament. This year• s high school hockey tournament was won by the Black and Orange team from Tiger Hall Westgate. Coaches Bob Mason and John McCormick did a good job with their young but talented team as they overcame older and bigger teams on their way to the tournament crown.

The Hammarskjold Vikings, with a solid team performance, defeated the Selkirk Hams 49-31 to capture the second annual Lakehead University High School invitational Basketball Tournament. The Vikings won four games en route to the victory while the Cinderella team, the scrappy Selkirk Rams defeated such pretournament favorites as Hill..:rest and PACI before bowing to the more polished Vikings in the final game. In the consolation round the PACI Redman defeated their arch rivals the FWCI Blue Bears 52-50 in what proved to be the top game of the tournament. Out-of-town teams did not fare too well against local competition and it is hoped that better teams will be sent in the future. It also must be remembered that some of these teams are in only their second or thkd years of operation and will certainly get better with experience. The tournament was a great success, thanks to Dick Battiston along with other officials and their helpers for making the tournament the success that it was. At the end of the tournament a first and secund all star team was chosen, Marku Peukkurinen from Hammarskjold and Dave Grey from Hillcrest were the guards while the forwards were Doug Morrow from Fort Frances, Bill Sutherland of Westgate and Al Haapaniemi from PACI.

But we do not see why such students should be catered to ... The lecture imposes a single pace on all students subjected to it--a pace that is I ikely to be nearer the capacity of the slowest student.

It is self-evident that 50 or 75 lectures a year per subject are not needed to perform any of the desirable functions of lectures. But since these hours must be filled up, "they tend to be filled up with transmission of information. They are used to 'cover' a subject. A vicious circle is thus set going." An effect more damaging than this is that "the number of hours of instruction the student is expected to attend each week does not leave him enough time to do the reading and thinking he ought to be doing: of official Winter Carnival Toques $2.25 each at Perciante & Laprade Sporting Goods Ltd. 9 South Cumberland Street PORT ARTHUR. ONT ARIO A lecture worth having is one that sparks the student's own thinking on the ideas and problems opened up by it, and that gets him reading, more or less widely and more or less independently, around those ideas aid problems. These comments seem to apply just to large lectures, but MacPherson goes on to say that the small lecture (20 to 30 students) is subjected to much the same pressure that turn large lectures to undesirable uses, the hours a student is expected to spend in class are just as great; the compulsion to attend his classes somewhat greater, and subjection to a closer and more continuous scrutiny, very great.

VOLUME 11, No. XIV LAKEHEAD UNIVERSITY, PORT ARTHUR, OKTARIO. TWELVE PAGES January 18, 1968 Amalgamation threatened by Owen Marks The proposed amalgamation o·f Lakehead Teachers College and Lakehead University is off for the present. \\'.}lencontac_ted on Wednesday.January 10, Dr. John Whitfield, president of this year's faculty association at LU stated that he couldn't foresee amalgamation here at the Lakehead this year. Proposed date for union was to be July 1, 1968. Pilot project in Ontario Primarily, partnership between the two institutions was lo be one of the first such types attempted in Ontario. It was hoped that in so doing the educational standard of the participating students at Teachers College could be raised. But if such an affiliation were to take place, there would have been an apparent wage •discrepancy betYoeen instructors, of supposed equal credentials, in the two institutions . In fa ct this difference in salary could be as great as 20%, in some cases, on a basic minimum salary. Minimum salaries at the University for a full professor are $15,300, while Associate, Assistant, and the rank immediately below Assistant are $11,800, $9,300, and $7,700 respectively. At the Teachers' College, all the Masters are hired on an equal salary basis. Their minimum •vage is $12,000, and their maximum is $14,500. Dr. Whitfield went on to say he supposed that union could not take place until amalgamation was accomplished on a province-wide scale. The problems of wage parity, ranking, and the definition of the amalgamation could not allow it until that time.

John Lynn, Canadian University Press WINDSOR (CUP) •• The coeditors of the University of Windsor Lance resigned Tuesday after tne university president and the senate discipline committee threatened to expel them if they remained inoffice. University President J. F. Leddy called a meeting of the senate committee on Student Conduct, Activities, and Discipline (SCAD) last Dec. 4, to consider what he termed the Lance's "morbid obsession with squalid vulgarity." SCAD at that time asked for student council support in cleaning up the Lance, but council refused, reiterating the right of the paper to operate freely. Co-editor John Lalor told Canadian University Press Tuesday (Jan. 9) the president and SCAD objected to several articles printed over the first term, particularly an article entitledThe Student as Nigger, an analysis of university eduation in western society. The article, which uses four• letter words liberally, has appeared in the georgi an., the Ubyssey, the Argus and several other campus papers with little reaction. The controversy died down during the holiday break, but Lalor said it became clear Monday (Jan 9) SCAD would move to· expel co-editor Marian Johnstone and himself at a Tuesday meeting if they did not resign beforehand. In his statement of resignation, Lalor said: ''I gather from threats made by Dr. Leddy at th~ meeting Monday and from the tenor of the meeting in general that the committee is hell-bent on a course that cannot be altered, and if carried to its logical extremes, could result in the expulsion of Miss Johnstone and myself." In his letter of resignation, accepted with no comment by SCAD Tuesday, Lalor said he was not prepared to let any "arbitrary committee" play with his life. • The Windsor student council termed SCAD's role in the case "unnecessary interference'' which undermined the student body. "It is further the belief of this council that the university community as a whole has suffered irreparably from high-handed interference of certain members of the community at large who have, without regard to the rights and perogatives of a student government to publis~ in the sole interest of its students, shackled the privileges of freedom of the press." Lalor told CUP the Windsor community had also reacted to the Lance, and said the SCAD was under considerable pressure from inside the university and outside to take strong action. He said Dean G. A. McMahon, dean of students and chairman of the committee, along with Prof. Ron Wagenburg attempted to mediate the situation by suggesting Lalor and Johnstone accept "disciplinary probation." This meant, said Lalor, they would have to promise not to use any more bad words. The president of Lakehead, University, William Tamblyn, was a little more optimistic. He thought that although negotiations at present were being conducted on tender ground, he could still see amalgamation by the end of September 1968 at le ast. Tamblyn admitted that university salaries were discouragingly low for such an amalgamation, but added that the university had asked for substantial wage increases for the next year. Principal William West of Lakehead Teachers College declined to comment stating that negotiations between the Department of Education and the University were still under way. William Davis, Minister of Education, was not available for comment. Nor'Westers split with Caps The Nor'Westers split a pair of games with Brandon. University Caps last weekend. Saturday they lost 9 - 7, but they bounced back for an 8 • 6 victory Sunday. Saturday, Nuttall and Gellert each picked up two goals L.U. downs Brandon U. The Nor'Westers Basket• ball team completed their weekend with two convincing wins over the Brandon Caps. Saturdaythey won 65 • 47,· and Sunday saw them on the winning end of a 53 • 39 score. This brings their season record to 8 and 8. Don Holmstrom led the way Saturday with 25 points, while Roy Holman netted 12. L.U. led 27 • 26 at the half but pulled away· in the second half as a result of the great reoounding of Holmstrom and Jim Johnston. In Sunday's game, Holmstrom, Lakehead' s consistent scoring leader, topped the blue and white team with 17, wnile Roo Cameron had 12 and BigLouPero had 9. They were led by the aggressive defense and good outside shooting of guard Rob Cameron, while Lou Pero came through with some clutch baskets. One happy note was the play of Birger's second string as they outscored Brandon 7 • 0 during the short time they were on the floor. while singles went to Tapak, Fallis, and. "Al -Holt. Bud Crocker played a hard-hitting game on defense and carried the puck well for LU-. In Sunday's game, ''Rocket'' Tapak pumped home five goals while S1cilia,no, Nuttal, and Jim Gellert each picked up a single. Randy Wilkie, the latest Lakehead goalie, played well on the weekend, . despite letting in 15 goals. The big surprise for {.. U. coach Akervall was the performance of some of his rookies from the commercial league. At least six Varsity regulars did not make the trip. Jim Gellert, Al Holt, and Don Ostaff showed good form in both games. Gellert was es• pecially outstanding, picking up three goals and five assists in the two games. �Page 2 January 18, 1968 THE ARGUS This Week •••• THURSDAY.

Mr. Harding, a lecturer in New Residence facilities A $2,500,000.00 contract for new Lakehead University residence fac ilities has been approved and awarded to the Toronto firm of Catkey Construction Limited in c.onj unction with The Ontario Student Housing Corporation. Additional landscaping and furnishing cos ts are ex pee ted to put the total cost of the twelve building complex at $2,750,000.00 , with construction beginning immediately. The project will be financed through the Ontario Student Housing and the Central Mortgage and Housing Corporation, on a 50 year mortgage . The project calls for a 480 bed complex , to be built in a park-like setting on the banks of the man-made lake. The site will be directly across the lake from the present Uni versity Centre. There will be ten three-storey residence buildings, with each floor having facilities to accommodate I 6 students with a sitting room with T. V. and a kitchen also included. The other two build• ings include a recreation centre and a hr>11se for the master don. When the project received ap• proval from the Ontario Leg- islature , it was felt that the smaller buildings would be more personal and thereby conducive to studying and small group discussions. As the new residence, construction commences, there will bt in the area of $20 million in expenditures tied up in campus additions. psychology before b e i n g clumsily dismissed, breathed a lot of twentieth century thought into Lakehead University and set off much of the critical di¥tlogue concerning universities which has been heard both here and across Canada over the last year.

WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 24th Fencing Fencing will take place from 8-10 p.m. Psychology Club Last Thursday the Psychology Club opened up its second term of existence. Despite our unfortunate lack of publicity, the turn-out was excellent and the attending intellectuals settled back in their chairs to enjoy the academy award win· ning movie, "Profile of a Problem Drinker". The movie failed in its attempt to be graphically factual, but did, however , succeed in massaging the viewers' funny bone at various and numerous places. It presented a "year in the life" of a "typical" alcoholic and, with• out a doubt, could serve as an exciting episode in "As the World Turns" . Despite its minor drawbacks, it was , nevertheless, (in view of the approaching Winter Carnival) truly in the "spirit" of things and I wish more (rather, some) Foresters had attended. As you read this, I hope you are planning to attend tonight's meeting at 7:00 p. m. in Rm. 1029. As I write this I hope Dr. Chou, a well-known local psychiatrist will be guest speaker. Watch the posters. Only a pathetic four hundred copies of this year's yearbook , The Nor'Wester, were sold. A hopeful rise in sales was expected due to students' receiving their student loans , but apparently a better use for their money was found. Any chance of receiving a copy at the end of the year is verysmall for the exact amount purchased will be turned over to the printer at the end of this month. At present, 150 of last year's yearbooks grace the shelf of the yearbook office , appearing to be just collecting dust, but supposedly being saved for public relation purposes. As the AMS subsidizes each yearbook to the extent of $5.00 per issue, a loss of $750 has been incurred to date from last year's yearbooks . the ARGUS Conservatives active on campus Progressive Conservatives stodgy? Ask Gerda. The core of L.U.'s newly organized Young Progressive Conservative Club has now been completed. The campus club has had its constitution passed by the A.M.S.; and the club's nucleus is formed. The campus party is now prepared to take in new members who would be interested in associating themselves with the PC.'s on campus. In early February Duff " Muffed" Roblin (who was unable to arrive in Decem- Yearbook Sales ber) will be visiting the university - for sure this time. A number of other leading Conservative figures have expressed an interest in visiting the university. In the fall of this year the club will be expecting Tory leader Robert Stanfield on campus.

Also present was the Vice President of the Canadian Union of Students, Don Mitchell, University of Saskatchewan, Regina. Council voted to accept the presentation of the Ukrainian Club Brief to the Senate on behalf of the student body. Expenses of $104 were approved for delegate, Julie Weirzbicki, to the O.U.S. O.C.U .F .A. Conference . Miss Weirzbicki will present a report to Council on the results and value of the conference. CUS Resolution Council disscussed at length Priority 03 in the Resolutions of the 31st Congress of C.U.S. Priority 03 is the report on Universal Accessability . As members of C.U.S . , Council must ratify the Res• olutions. The disscussion appears to be aimed at estab- lishing a policy for next year's delegates to the Congress from Lakehead U. For openers "Education is a fundamental human right." prompted Mike Barkwell to voice his preference f01 the word "privilege" instead of "right". Argus editor Chuck Grieve stated that education is necessary to survival, at which point debate broke out over "necessity" in terms of personal as opposed to econo: mic gains; the implication of 'right' as financial responsibility, until the Chair requested Don Mitchell to give an interpretation. The C. U.S. Vice Pres. infonned Council that education is guaranteed equal to all by Act of Parliament, and therefore, a right. On the clause dealing with economic and ethnic discrimination perpetuated by the present educational and soc i al system, Don Cordingly took exception and said "You gotta prove it to me." Several instances of discrimination between students of equal academic standing from upper and lower class families were cited by councillors from School of Nursing. Pro- and anti- establishment lines were drawn up on the clause stating that academic and living costs of education render it inaccessible to many and set up psychological barriers to others. Economics Bert Baumam, mentioned that economic factors inhibit females from taking advantage of opportunities in education as they can't make enough money in the 5ummer. Bill Weiler stated that the present system discourages students from low income families from continuing their education. Don Mitchell pointed out that town students must borrow more and therefore pay back more money than students living at home in University cities. Don Cordingly· exclaimed ''You are all a bunch of hypocrites. The system is great, but at least I admit it! I've got two c:ars - the system is great." Much bickering and vernacular expression prompted the Chair to remind Council that "These issues are really very important!" Don Mitchell felt that the students who do not make it for financial reasons are costly to the economy of the country in unrealized potential and that free tuition would be one remedy, since tuition is only a token I 7% of the cost of each student's education. Several students present at the meeting voiced the opinion that universal accessability would raise the academic standards of our educational institutions because of increased competition for facilities. Following is the results of 2 straw votes: a)"Therefore be it resolved that the Canadian Union of Students reject in principle all systems of financial aid which involve loans, means tests, or conditions implying mandatory parental support, and (vote- 7 for- 9 against) b)declares that a system of student stipends must be a adopted to achieve equality of educational opportunity, (vote- 5 for- 9 against) Apparently nine of your representatives can't see that the present system is detrimental to the whole economy, as well as personal achievements of the individual. Council passed a motion to hire a lawyer to look into incorporation of the A.M.S. Bill Weiler motioned that the A.M.S. petition the authorities to drop the 80% attendance regulation. Motion carried. Bill Weiler is to take over the undefined duties of C.U.S. chainnan until the elec'tion, at which time the question 'to have or not to have a c:u.s. chairman wiU be decided. C.U.S. Vice President noted that the trend in Canada now is for the Councils lt, set up committees to deal with C.U.S. work.

And each team has in its possession· a tandem bicycle. Picture one team pulling off their rear wheel about five minutes before race time . It seized on them. It had done the same thing the night before and they had pulled it apart only to find three flat bearings in the hub. Picture another team with gear sprockets that spread apart so that the gears were useless. And still another bunch of students with a front tire with no less than three bulges on it. Their rear sprocket broke at ~ crucial point of the race. Meanwhile, the team with the seized wheel had passed most of the others, only to suffer a blow-out. And as they were executing one of the finest pit stops in the race, the leading crew drove back looking for oil. They had a seized wheel. What happened to the others we haven't heard yet. All we know is that there was not one crew that was not hampered by at least one mechanical failure . And you think the riders were crazy to attempt the ride? We sort of think so too, in looking back over the ride. But the reason we think it was madness was purely because of the shape those bikes were in when they were rented by the students. Yte wouldn't rent scrap like those bikes if our lives depended on 1t. Letters I am thoroughly disgusted. In the interests of fair play, honesty, perseverence, and abstinence, how can the AMS say they won the race when they packed up at the border, unpacked before each town, and then headed to Duluth? Mother truckers! That's what they are. They packed their bike into their truck and passed the teams that were peddling, only to have the fair playing, honest, persevering, abstaining teams pass them again. Mothers! Then they had the unmitigated gall to declare themselves the winners when they arrived at the UMD campus. But they failed to state how they arrived . As a firm believer in righteousness and truth, I wish to make known the real facts. Residence won , the ARGUS came a very, very dose second, and honourable mention should be given to the third-place SAS for lending the ARGUS their spare tire and tube. AMS didn't even place. Gord Fukushima Sir: I think I'll add a little verse, In confidence that it can be no worse Than last week's quibble from Day Laban Or the scribble above from my humble hand. Madam Laban would have us believe That a mis-6pelled word can in fact relieve The sense from a sentence, even a letter ... On her next notion I wish her better. Although they suffice when there's nothing to say And for avoiding issues there's no better way; ' It seems to escape Mrs. Laban That semantic arguments rarely stand. I'd hate to suggest she lacked vocabulary But considering the context it seems contrary To make ''panathea" into panacea Instead of the much more likely a~athema. I know this is getting quite absurd But strange things happen to the printed word And they happen to the very best of us ' When writing stuff for the mighty Argus. Now if the point, as Mrs. Laban insists, Revolves about how a word can twist And if "devoted to evil" or anathem; Replaces ''remedy for all ills" or pan;cea ... Then my argument is won, Laban is defeated; But, I think she might feel a little cheated So I invite her back to the "student power 11' fray Trusting tat next time she will have more to say. Until that time I stand my ground And claim the original argument ;ound.•• That the institution as it exists • Is defended by "corporate liberal" apologists. And the bookstore I'll continue to avoid, Of useful service it's most devoid. Except for those demanded by courses, I buy my books from other sources. vvhite - \Nash of the year avvard By TOM MacLEOD A recent incident involving the Port Arthur Police Department and a fleeing traffic accident suspect takes my nomination for the white-wash of the year award. The case involved the shooting an d subsequent serious wounding of a fleeing suspect. From the very first, this whole affair was handled witli. ineptitude and total disregard for standard procedure. INVESTIGATION AUTOMATIC The Chief of Police, Mr. Harty, realized that an investigation would have to be undertaken. But he did not suspend the constable involved. In every police force, when such an investigation is necessary, the person involved is automatically suspended froip his job un• • til the investigation is completed. If the person is absolved of blame, he is then re-instated to the force with full paiy for the period of suspension. Mr. Harty did not suspend the constable even though his actions and competence were under investigation. AOUITAL NOT WARRANTED The subsequent investigation did absolve the constable of blame, but I feel the evidence did not warrant an acquital. The man who was shot had fled from a traffic accident in Current River and had taken refuge in a nearby hotel. He was arrested there by two police officers. If this man was dangerous he should have been handcuffed in the ho~el. But he was not, and he m :maged to escape. The pursuing constable drew his gun and then, according to his account, tripped and fell and by so doing shot the fleeing suspect by accident. Why did this constable have his gun out in t h e first place? He had no business having his gun out unless he intended to shoot the man. HEAVY TRIGGER PULLS The guns used by Port Arthur police are almost impossible to discharge by accident. They have very heavy trigger pulls about ten pounds - unless they are cocked first. In the latter case, the guns have very light trigger pulls. The constable had his gun cocked before he fell. But a gun is never cocked until t h e second before the gun is to be fired. The constable involved had considerable experience in hand gun handling, and was fully aware of this fact. Therefore the constable's actions would appear to have been both irresponsible and dangerous. SHOULD HAVE BEEN SUSPENDED In the light of these facts, the constable should, at the very least, have been suspended for his actions, pending an inquiry. If Chief Harty suspends anyone in the future it will not be a matter of course, but rather a private verdict of guilty from the Police Chief. The inquiry, in absolving the constable, has also sanctioned poor procedure and unsafe gun handling. On the whole, I feel that the whole incident has been · white-washed . �January 18, 1968 Page THE ARGUS WINTER CARNIVAL photos by drew and zatulsky • �THE ARGUS January 18, 1968 MARG BURNS represents her own faculty of Engineering and Mining Technology in the Carnival Queen competition.

Nobody will phone his parents if he doesn't turn up. And yet both Duncan and his parents feel he is getting a far better education this year than in past years. Duncan is a student at the Barker Free School in Vancouver -- one of a new hr eed of schools th;tt are rapidly cropping up across the nation. Nobody knows exactly what a free school is. Between Christmas and New Year's, representatives of eight free schools from across the cotmtry spent several days at the New School in Vancouver trying to ;,mswer, among other things, that very qutstion. NON-CONCLUSION REACHED The conclusions reached were more non-conclusions. Those present learned they agreed on some things, disagreed on others. The only thing they were unanimous upon was that the present public school system is incapable of coping with modern educational requirements. Represented at Vancouver were Toronto's Everdale Place, Toronto's Rochdale College, Winnipeg's Who House, the Winnipeg Free School, the Viewpoint nonschool at Argentia, B.C., Vancouver's New School, Barker Free School and Knowplace. With the exception of Rochdale College , all these schools or non-schools cater to elementary or secondary schoolage students. Rochdale is a co-operative residence for college-age students that strives to offer a unique educational environment. But while those who staff the schools are less than certain how to describe their operations, the students who attend have few, if any, reservations. PROBLEM CHILD Take Duncan Innes for example. Before he was sent to the Barker Fre·e School, he was what is known as a "problem ·child." "I didn't get along," says Duncan, an unusually articulate youngster for his age, describing his public school career. "I used to throw things and get into trouble." Duncan says his mother sent him to Barker because of this rebelliousness, "I always liked to hear them shout at me," be says. "But now I ClassHied Lost- one young man known as Fred.

"Sick of school, I guess," he says. To date this year he has missed only one day . "But I didn't have to say I was sick. I just didn't feel like going so I went somewhere else instead." Each school day for Duncan begins with a meeting. The students at his school •• all elementary age •· attend a general meeting each morning at which they decide what they will do for the day. This aspect of the free school is generally widespread •· the active participation by students in the decision-making processes of the school. "If the teachers want one thing and we want another, we outvote them," Duncan says. BETTER OR WORSE EDUCATION The crucial question, however, is whether the free school gives a better edu• cation than the tradi~fonal public school. "I feel I am learning more now than I was before,'' says Duncan. A schoolmate of Duncan's 14-year-old Clay Ray, was less willing to assert this point, but admitted it was generally so. "But sometimes the teachers get pushy and try to run things. Then we won't talk to them, and we don't find out anything." Clay , brushing back his shoulder-length blonde hair (there are no dress restrictions in free schools) , tells of the type of things he does at school. "Well, one time we built a still,'' he says . The question was obvious . What were they going to do with the still? .. Make booze, I guess." Make booze! Wouldn't the teachers object? "No, not really. But we never got to make the booze because the little kids wrecked the still." ·s uppose they-hadn't wrecked the still, would yon have known how to make booze? "Oh, it's simple," explainel Clay, somewhat eager to display his knowledge. "You make a mash and you put yeast in it . .. " He went on to explain quite clearly the process of fermentation. Then he described how the different liquids in the mash boiled at~ifferenttemperatures and how this enabled one to separate the vapors in a still and then condense the vapqrs to get booze. "Of course, you can use it for other things. like making clean water," he added. Here was a 14-year-old boy at an elementary school level giving me a somewhat com- prehensi ve high-school physics and chemistry lecture. NEEDS MUST BE MET "The main thing is to meet the needs •· both personal and academic •• that the kids themselves recognize," explains Gordon Mackie, a student at the University of Manitoba and one of the most articulate spokesmen for the free school ~ovement: He is curre]ltly mvolved m getting up a free school in Winnipeg for dissatisfied high school students and dropouts. The mainstream schools aren't meeting their needs," he says. "For the student it is a question of what I need to know. You can't tell me what I need to know." For example, three- , four- , and five-year-old kids need to learn to read. They know this. Everything they see around them is in print. You give them books and you should watch them gobble them up." With the youths he is working with in Winnipeg, the needs are different, Mackie says . "These kids need to know how to structure interpersonal relationships . At the conventional high school level relationships seem to be based on economic rather than human grounds •· you know, the best guy:is the one with the flashiest car." Bob Barker, the founder of the Barker Free School, generally agrees. A balding 54, he is a senior figure in the movement. LEARNING TO COPE "What we are trying to do is bring people up so that they are best able to cope with life today and life tomorrow. The mainstream schools are failing at this for two reasons. "First, the means of the traditional school -are too limited. You can't educate people when you have 40 to a class. "Second, there is the bogey and fear of public opinion. Public school teachers, because they are public servants, are afraid to act. But so are politicians, and they are acting all the time . I call it a bogey because I · don't think it actually exists." Mr. Barker feels the "whip theory of education" •• his label for the public school system •· does not produce persons capable of coping with lifo. "All it produces are narrowly educated robots. We don't want kids to qualify for the status quo; we want them to qualify for changing the status quo. The most important thing is what we are doing for the kids. " FINANCIAL PROBLEMS Butwhile they are success- MARINA INN I/ (Mariaggi) Make the Ti/tin' Hi/tin your permanent home away from home Come in and see our student residence rooms ful de aling with youngsters, the free schools are having definite problems ensuring themselves financial security. They are officially private schools and as such are not eligible for government grants. Mr. Barker admits his school would have been out of business this year if the Company of Young Canadians had not agreed to pay the salaries of his staff. "We charge parents what they can afford to pay, but this doesn't nearly cover our costs. If it weren't for the CYC, we couldn't have operated this year.'' As in most free schools (the New School in Vancouver is an exception), Mr. Barker's staff are paid minimal salaries. The CYC also pays salaries at the Toronto area's Everdale Place and Vancouver's Knowplace. Mr. Barker hopes some of the financial problems will be met by an independent foundation now being incorporated by a group of Vancouver business and professional people. The foundation will attempt to raise funds for free schools. "But if we don't get CYC help next year, we could be in trouble," he says . Right now he doesn't know where next year's funds are coming from . SAME PROBLEMS ACROSS COUNTRY Across the country other free schools are facing the same problems and trying to cope with them. In Winnipeg_, he hopes to get some support from the University of Manitoba Students' Union. Because of recent moves toward student involvement in pre-university educational reform, he admits there is a good chance for this . But he also knows the prospects are less than certain. The free-schoolers are still groping to determine their ultimate goals. Their financial operations are hanging by a shoestring. But in spite of this, two definite conclusions could be drawn from the deliberations in Vancouver last month. The first is that the freeschoolers believe they are the vanguard in a revolution that is rapidly changing education as we know it today . Already they are citing Ontario's move towards ungraded public schools as a step in this direction. They also cite the Campbell River, B. C. high school as an example of where the free-school methods have infiltrated the mainstream system. Here class attendance is non-compulsory, students are allowed to smoke in the school, and such things as dress restrictions don't exist. "But there is only one fault with the Campbell River system," Barker says. "If the students don't keep up their grades, they have to attend classes." GRADUATES DIFFER The second thing that is clear is that the youngsters who are coming out of the free schools are going to be very different from our normal school system's product. They will not be complacent acceptors of the status quo. They wilJ not be apathetic _ citizens. They will be the ._., product of an organized attack against the existing educational structure, and they are going to expand this attack onto other areas of society.

February 2, 1968 Eight Pages Harding's ''dismissal'' not a myth Newly crowned Carnival Queen Heather Laing (left) and first runner up Nina Quinn. - photo by zatulsky He·a ther Laing crowned An attractive 20-year old Arts student, Heather Laing, has been chosen this year's Carnival Queen. The announcement of Miss Laing's selection climaxed the week-long festivities of Carnival Week. Her first ftmction as Queen was to draw the tickets in the Car Draw contest. Winner of the Ford Torino was C. Hacquoil of Fort William. Second prize of the Snow Jet went to Brian Kauzlarick of Port Arthur, while third prize of a colour television was won by S. Bruzzese of Port Arthur. Miss Laing, along with runner-ups Nina Quinn and Sue Laban, were crowned at the wind-up formal , held at the Port Arthur Armories, amid lavish decorations. Meanwhile, at the Canadian University Snow Queen Pageant in Waterloo, Lakehead's Sharon Woods disappointingly did not place in the selection. Monday saw students draging their feet and yawning wearily as once more they swung into the routine of cl asses and bridge. For some the end of Carnival brought a happy relief from worrying about entertainers and schedules. John Lee and his hard-working Carnival Committee deserve to be congratulated for all their work and planning. Needham on campu to speak today Richard J. Needham, wellknown columnist with the Toronto Globe and Mail, will be on campus today to speak to students of Lakehead Univ~rsity and to the general pubhe. . He is sch~dul~d to speak m the Umvers1ty Centre Theatre at 12 noon. Aside from his duties with the Globe and Mail, Mr. Needham is published in some Canadian literary quarterlies, and has written a book, Needham's Inferno. His column in the Globe and Mail is one of the most widely read columns in any paper in Canada. Topics dealt with by Mr. Needham are many and varied. One of his favourites, however, is young people. On this subject he comes on strongly for the younger generation, taking up in print their plight. Mr. Needham also travels about the country speaking to audiences of students and old folks alike. His visit today will be the first time he has been at Lakehead University. A public statement made in a letter to the Argus by Dean of Arts, Dr. Gordon O. Rothney, was rejected as strictly "an administrator's letter" by Mr. James Harding, ex-lecturer in psychology at Lakehead. The letter by Rothney was an attempt on his part to insure that the "Harding issue" would be cleared up once and for all. In a telephone interview over the week-end from his home in Point Coquitlam, B.C. , Mr. Harding listened to the content of the letter and commented upon it. He pointed out that when the rest of the faculty were receiving their letters with job offers and salary increases, he received a letter with a single line statement saying that "the Administration of Lakehead University was unable to offer you re-appointment. that he· would not be offered a position with Lakehead University. Dr. Rothney's letter was spatked by an article that appearedon page two of the Jan. 18 issue of the ARGUS. It stated that "Mr. Harding, a lecturer in psychology before being clumsily dismissed, breathed a lot of twentieth century thought into Lakehead University and set off much of the critical dialogue concerning universities which has been heard both here and across Canada over the last year." Mr. Harding is being flown in from Simon Fraser University to be a resource person at the Symposium on Education being held Feb. 8 - 11. The article sighted above centred around his planned visit. Harding went on to say that he was asked to "drop around" to become better acquainted with the top administrators and thus facilitate a job off!!r from the university. Jim Harding came to Lakehead University as a lecturer in Psychology in 1966. He had formerly been at the University of Saskatchewan, both as a student and as a teaching assistant. His approach to education was immediately tagged as radical by Lakehead's administration. In referring to the letter appearing ;n the January 25 edition of the Argus, Hardi116 said he felt that this "character investigation" was made as an effort to see if he could "fit-in" as a member of the faculty. Harding was also the charter President of SUPA, Students Union for Peace Association. He was active in this capacity for the duration of his stay at the Lakehead. Again referring to Rothney's letter, Harding said "it contained no reality of the hesitancy exhibited by the administration, and no reality of the pressure that was brought to bear upon me." During the past summer ne attempted to build interest in student-centred teaching, a concept he actively experimented with in his third year Social Psychology classes. "President Tamblyn invited me to dinner at his home in an effort to get to know me better before offering me a job on the faculty" Harding said. To his knowledge, Harding was the only faculty member who received such investigation before a job offer. On his arrival on the West Coast where he presently resides, he was instrumental in setting up an educational environment, the fo~dations of a free university. The farm of Whonock, 30 miles south of Vancouver, is still in operation, though not functioning as yet as it was originally intended to. After a period of several weeks, Mr. Harding finally received a letter which made it clear Mr. Harding is studying for his- PhD. at Simon Fraser University. LUST progress report - student television soon to operate Lakehead University Student Television (LUST) is moving rapidly toward its first productions. The senior lounge was wired over Christmas for the closed circuit monitors which will carry LUST programming. The only electronic hangup which remains is a two week wait for the amplifier, necessary to send TV signals from the studio in the main building to the lounge where each show will be presented several times. Prospects for this year indicate that shows will be produced on a relatively small scale, perhaps two or three per week. But it • -~ will probably be not more than a year before daily programmes are feasible. Organization to date has been in the hands of a relatively small group of students who want to sort out most of the "labour pains" inevitable at the start of such a venture, without having a great number of people involved in each hassle. This stage is now past and LUST offers an open invitation to any student interested in exploring the fascinating television medium, but with the reminder that it's almost all work. The television unit is \lUtonomous from both the AMS, and the administration. It is governed by its own code of ethics, and by a letter of intent signed with the administration. A move by the AMS to institute censorship of programming has been defeated after an interesting battle, and our student leaders remain comfortably "non-involved' ' . The generous cooperation of the administration has carried over in to the area of programme content, which, it agrees, should not be formally interfered with. LUST and The ARGUS are cooperating in the use of news releases from Can- adian University Press, ano the relationship between student newspapers and student television will be studied jointly. The first programmes are now in the works. They include a talk with a sortof-a-higiy folk singer, a depth interview with Dr. K. J. Charles about his recent book, a diatribe by Fred (Red Power) Kelly, and more. LUST has no office; it does not intend to cloister itself like so many student organizations. Any student with time or ideas is urged to talk with anyone wearing a LUST button. ...... �Page 2 February 2, 1968 THEA.OUS Economics professor receives grant to do study of Keewatin Dr. K. J. Charles, Professor and Chainnan of thP. Department of Economics at lakehead University has been awarded a $5,000 grant by the Regional Development Branch of the Ontario Dept. of Economics and Development to carry on a socio-economic survey of the Kenora-Keewatin area. The study is already underway with the report due in April. This is the first in what _ Dr. Charles hopes will be a'. series of economic studies of Northwestern Ontario communities. He feels that the data collected from such academic studies will help in formulating an -intelligent and imaginative policy for bringing about greater economic activity throughout this region. 'Dr. Charles is well qualified for studies in development economics. A recognized expert in the field, he taught honors and graduate courses in development economics at the University of Manitoba from 1959 until lakehead University brought him to Ontario as the Chainnan of the Economics Department. He did his Ph.D graduate work at McGill University after earlier studies and teaching at the University of Madras in India. Kenora was the logical starting point for the study. The Ogilvie mill closure, the high Indian population and Kenora's proximity to the border of another province makes the area an interesting challenge in regional econo- mies problems. Dr. Charles is particularly interested in the problem of the "one industry town." "I am very interested in the economic impact of the closure of the Ogilvie Flour Mill on the Keewatin-Kenora region," he said today. "The dependence of some regions of our economy on certain single industries has become a matter of national concern as a result of the closure or planned closure of certain large finns in different parts of Canada. This lends an element of urgency to obtaining scientific information regarding the real impact of these closures on the affected regions." "We are also interested in finding out the economic significance of the paper mill to the Kenora region." "The service industry, especially the tourist industry," said Dr. Charles, "is of vital importance to the economy of Kenora and we are therefore, interested in learning more about its impacton the Kenora economy and its potentials of growth." "Our study is also- likely to • throw some light on the question of whether Kenora is more economically related to Manitoba than to the rest of Ontario.'' "Economists are increasingly becoming aware of the importance of the human factor in economic development and our study will also make an assessment of the human WANTED Male student with car to supervise a crew of carrier salesmen evenings and or weekends Phone 345-8694 REXALL Cough and Cold Remedies at Special Savings Triple Action ANTI-COUGH SYRUP 4 oz.

"A few years ago," he said, "it was widely believed that the movement of labor to areas of industrial dynamism was the hallmark of economic effeciency. For a number of reasons in recent years this view has been subjected to considerable modification and and critical review. Some of the reasons for this change are the increasing congestion in cities, the pressure on water resources, and the problem of industrial smog." "Also there is an increasing awareness that regional dev- elopment is necessary fo1 stable national development. This has been prompted by the demonstration of orderly regional progress and growth in several countries such as Italy, the U.K., Sweden and Russia." Dr. Charles is the author of the recent controversial book, "The Myth of Inflation." Unexpected results from wine party The wine and cheese party, vario.u sly described by students as "great", "a ball", and "a horror show" almost caused cancellation of Monte Carlo Nite and the dance Thursday. AMS President, Bill Weiler at one point considered the cancellation when Tom Macleod, Chief Proctor, told him, "It's up to you as President, but I'd cancel tonight or have a regular cop at the door." Macleod feared that the fights which marred the party would be continued at the dance. It was later decided that the dance would run as planned without outside help. Both Weiler and Dean Kerr felt that the affair had been going well until the fight between Bud Crocker and Bob Wynn broke out. Observers • stated that Crocker attacked Wynn, who was on duty as a proctor, when Wynn would not allow him to re-enter the Great Hall. In the ensuing scuffle Crocker received a cut over his nose. It took six or seven students to hold Wynn back. At this point the proctors locked the main doors of the Great Hall, leaving Wynn outside and Crocker inside. Wynn later returned to renew the fight and pulled at the doors in an effort to get in. Wynn had little difficulty breaking the lock on the doors with one pull. In so doing he also shatt~red the glass in one door, spraying bystanders with a fine sprinkling of glass. Head of Security, Ted Broughton and Director of Finance David Morgan arrived later to assess the damages. Dean Kerr suggested that "As administrators, this should be none of our affair and we should leave it MARINA INN (Alias Mariaggi) C01T11ptable and willing youngboys andgir1s who are willing to take the step to the adult way of living.

Thirsty fellow drops in for a drink. -photo by z atulsky to the students to work out." As the students were already clearing out of the Hall and mopping up, he was able to convince them that the students could in fact handle it. Commenting later on the event, Dean Kerr said "You could have a gathering of archbishops in there and if you let them have all the wine they wanted they'd be shouting blasphemies from the ceiling." He also expressed doubt at the wisdom of holding the event for an intended four hours, but stressed that but for the fights it would have been an enjoyable party. The washrooms and halls of the university were testimony enough to the effects of the wine. it took the cleaning staff until the next day to catch up, replacing the odour with the smell of disinfectant. Several hours after the party, Monte Carlo Nite and the final dance brought the major Carnival events on the campus proper to a close.

DIAL 844-1743 �February 2, 1968 Page 4 the roar of the washroom the smell of the crowd Winter Carnival has come and gone leaving a bad taste in some mouths and a distinct odour in every washroom, most halls, and a few stairways. The combination of the torchI ight parade and the wine party has left many doubts about Carnival itself and about university students in particular. Many are worried about what the big bad outside world is going to think of us. Past experience has shown that there are grounds for these worries. What concerns us most is the wine party. There will be those who wi II say that it is typical of juveniles and that university students are irresponsible. Some of these wi II not, I isten to any argumefllts to the contrary. But hopefully there is just enough common sense Ieft in the twin cities to believe us when we say that this is not the case. Any group of 300 people, when allowed as much wine as they can drink, will get sloshed out of their skulls no matter what their age. That was our first mistake -- too much wine for too many people. Inexperience was another factor. It was inexperienced drinking rather than irresponsibility that led to the sticky fiasco in the Great Hal I. Inexperience does not necessarily decrease with age but only with experience. As for the fight -- well of course the wine had something to do with it. Wine is an odd substance that may produce different effects each time. But there was one definite cause for the main bout. By closing the doors and forbidding people to come and go, officials left themselves wide open. This action is bound to achieve a simi tar result where no alcohol exists. It was also a particularly dangerous spot in which to put the proctor force. That was our second mistake -- creating the atmosphere for a fight. The third mistake was appointing a proctor who had been drinking in direct violaHon of the Judicial Committee's constitution. We must of course admit to mistakes and we do readily. Before anyone tries to suggest that it was the fault of youth and a direct reflection of their irresponsibility, think of the drunken br~wls held by political parties or Shriners under the guise of adulthood. Immaturity in drinking habits Sir: Wine and Cheese Party? What a disasterous mistake! Nothing but a cheap drunk! I've never seen anything so degrading on this University campus. Never have so many got so goofed in so short a time. What a spectacle to see young people drinking wine • until they were senseless! The wine flowed too freely and the inexperienced drank too quickly. It was only a matter of time and the washrooms were ankle-deep in winepuke. Heaven only knows how many were saved from drowning in their own barf! But the ultimate came when the staggering student broughtup on the outside steps of the University Centre in front of a dozen or so important-looking visitors! What an advertisement for an institute of higher learning! And back in the Great Hall, a few fist fights broke out and the wine party had to be shut down prematurely. There will never be another Wine and Cheese party on campus. (Just like there will never be another Torch Light Parade through the City of Port Arthur). When are Lakehead University Students going to grow up and start acting like the adults they're supposed to be? It may be playful and sporty to get looped. But is this the kind of school spirit we need? Keep it off the campus. Hold it privately if you must. Do your excess drinking where it does no harm and wake up in the morning with no regrets. Why jeopardize the reputation of the University? The student's Carnival Committee had good intentions with a Wine and Cheese party. However, the committee failed to consider the immaturity of the student body. For this they get a black mark in my book. signed Pipe-up THeARGUS VOLUME 11, No. XVI February 2, 1968 The ARGUS is published weekly by the Alma Mater Soci!ty _of Lakehead University.

Sir: Mr. Ken Robinson's inept attempt to malign technology in his latest Argus article (Protest, Jan. 8/68) does not go unnoticed or unanswered. Cloaking such diatribe in sloppy terminology (eg., dehumanizes) does little to veil the matter either. The human mechanism is differentiated functionally from all others in that it is the only one of the entire series capable of producing energy-consuming devices outside its organic entity. The history of the human race may well be stated in terms of the ability of man to consume ever-increasing amounts of extraneous (nonhuman) energy. The success story of North America is written in terms of the use of energy other "than human sweat and toil. The factor of energy, translated into power to do work, overrides all other factors in the spectacular technological growth of this Continent. At last, it is possible to dispense with the worst tyranny of all history, which is, of course, the tyranny of human toil. It is now possible to get rid of 'the root of all evil', money, and to replace scarcity with abundance. It is possible to get rid of the inter• ference and incompetence of politics, and its everlasting foolish and dangerous effects upon social affairs. But, m:>re to the point, the growth of power is compelling the elimination of the Price System and all its trappings, and its replacement with • functional scientific social control. If Mr. Robinson is really concerned with social change, he would do well to realize that social change is being precipitated by the replacement of man-hours by extraneous energy in the operation and maintenance of our industrial social mechanism.

Uncle Sam had always been good to Baines, and many evenings after the dishes had been done, little Baines and Uncle Sam would sit before the fire and talk about America and Democracy. Sometimes, his uncle would tell him that anyone could grow up to become the mayor of little Baines' home- Angry now, he stalked into the house and called his Uncle Sam up, so to speak. Uncle Sam said that he would be there right away, and that he would have some ranch-hands with him. When Sam arrived, Baines showed him from the bathroom window where he had left the wagon. Taking a second look, Uncle Sam pointed to the open garage door in the next yard, and said: "There it is Baines, over there, I told you we couldn't trust those subversive bastards." At once, Uncle Sam decided that it was necessary to call a meeting of the neighbour, and while it was in progress Baines interjected something he had forgotten; that there were 83 plastic soldiers in the wagon as well. Uncle Sam said thanks to Baines and continued with the community meeting. little Baines town, and other times he would tell Baines of the great evil threat across the blue waters of the great sea, and how little Baines must recognize that the people who lived in the lands over the sea were not his friends and that they were out to take away what his forefathers had bequeathed to him. "This is no case of mistaken identity, no case of mistaken location. We shall continue to use every means available to find a prompt and peaceful solution. We have taken, and we are taking, certain precautionary measures to make sure that our ranch-hands are prepared for any contingency that might arise in this area. After his uncle had gone to visit his aunt upstairs, Baines would sit before the dying embers of the fire and think about what he had been taught. Often he wondered to himself: "How will I ever be able to remember all the things that Uncle Sam told me about this wonderful land, and how will I be able to protect it?" After returning from his Thanksgiving {)ay holiday at the ranch, he learned the truth of Uncle Sam's words. A funny looking little boy appeared in the back yard of the house next door; he was smaller than Baines and his skin was yellow. Cautiously at first, Baines moved over to the white picket fence that separated the two yards and asked: "What's your name and where do you come from?'', to which the other boy replied; "My name is Ko-Ree-A, and I come from a land across the sea." Astonished, Baines fled to the house. He remembered what his Uncle Sam had told him and he realized that he had come face to face with a subversive. Deciding right away that he must be careful of this new boy, little Baines mounted his wagon and patrolled the property line. Interrupted by a call from the kitchen, Baines left his wagon on a part of the yard where there was no fence. After lunch he returned outside and to his amazement, found that his wagon was no longer there. He remembered that KoRee-A had been watching him earlier and admiring all the little gadgets that Baines had on the wagon. He called out to Ko-Ree-A to return his proPt:rty, but received no answer. Uncle Sam The best result would be for the whole community to persuade them to return our wagon and our plastic soldiers. I hope that they will recognize the gravity of the situation. I am confident that our people will exhibit in this crisis - as they have in other crisis - detennination and unity." At the close of the meeting, all the neig'1bours stood around and discussed whether or not Uncle Sam and Baines were right in what they were doing, but then they realized that Uncle Sam was always right, so they went home. Meanwhile, Baines continued to cry ovc:r his lost wagon and mostly, over what the other boys in the neighbourhood would say if be didn't get it back. But that's another story. • CANADA • by Goaloa Le-.d-, Bill C•l95 will make it possible, witla a bit .no~ 41uiet paper work in -Ottawa, to pre~ent Canadians &om JIOelses$iQg weapons.

One of the reasons for this is Canc1rlian University Service Oversea!" Rudy Carter, Assistant Director of the East African branch of CUSO was the guest at a luncheon sponsored by the Lakehead University branch, and spoke to the informal gathering of interested people. when a program has other priorities such as the furthering of its own cause, then the work that has to be done ofter suffers to the political angle. This is basically how the American Peace Corps works. Countries are now realizing the detrimental effects of having about four hundred young Americans running around their country, playing good samaritan, and collecting a salary from the U.S. government. service and education -photo by zatulsky technical training CUSO was designed primarily to serve countries overseas. There are many such international bodies trying to achieve the same ends, that of rendering technical assistance to underdeveloped countries, and educating Canadians to make them aware of the problem~ that do exist. But CUSO has the greatest chance for success, for, according to Mr. Carter, what the people in the underdeveloped countries need is not money in the form of aid, but trained technicians to help them advance their living standards and to provide alternatives· to the American and British programs. Canadian University Service Overseas offers these countries a chance to get out from under the influence of the United States and the British. preferred by Bob Leggett The days of the general BA are over, according to Mr. Carter. CUSO needs people with technical training. "We don't send underdevelpeople to underdeveloped countries.'' The langua&e barrier is not as great as 1t would seem. "Day to day work is done in English in many parts of Africa," said Mr. Carter. "A working knowledge of French also helps." "The people are usually amazed to see a young Canadian who has taken the time and effort to learn even a few words of their language", he said. ' "Most white men they know won't lower themselves to learn the common language." Here again CUSO -has its advantages. They put on crash "We couJd be the best white mediator in the world today", programs for their new members Mr. Carter said. "We are the to teach them some of the lansenior Commonwealth country. guage of the countries they are Diefenbaker led the move going to -- usually taught by a against South Africa's racist person of that country.

CUSO is not a Canadian Peace Corps. The frame of reference for the two organizations is entirely different. The U.S. program places workers in areas as foreign aid gifts, while CUSO finds personnel for a country's government to hire as a civil servant. Political orientation is another of CUSO' s strong points. The organization is not aligned with any political group or philosophy. As Mr. Carter said, Lightfoot the wallpaper man CUSO is the third largest technical assistance program in the world. The largest is the Peace Corps, w~th about 15,000 people actively involved. CUSO has at present 815 people in foreign countries. All the carnival wheels and Greg Tuck and I hung around after the plane emptied -- no Lightfoot. Five Minutes. The side men strolled down the ramp and Lightfoot sauntered out. He stopped on the tarmac and gazed at a flying jet like he was getting another inspiration. He knew he had all the college kids watching him, digging him like crazy, because that's what Lightfoot's all about. He gets his inspirations from wall paper and rain and bullrushes and go-go girls and airplanes in the morning. He greeted the small crowd with ahalf-limp handshake and 1957 Elvis Presley sneer. "Gord, I'm from the ARGUS at Lakehead University; I'd like an interview -- say about fifteen minutes.'' "Yeah, sure. Tomorrow.'' "I've got a deadline today so I need it today." "Okay, come on over to the high school.'' He turned and swaggered out of the terminal. The small crowd scrambled to follow. "If you don't have two spot lights it'll be a half-assed show, if"that's what you want. Didn't you read the contract?" People jumped and people ran to right the wrong and shortly everything was . . . "pretty good". At the hotel Lightfoot took off his three-quarter length suede coat, ruffled up a pillow and sprawled on the bed. He tugged his orange-brown bellbottom pants down over the suede cowboy boots and threw a pair of wire-rimmed glasses from his wrinkled white shirt to the table. "Okay, let's get it going," he yawned. "How do you feel about yourpopularity? Like, releases in the States?" "I consider myself a Canadian artist. I like the States better than Canada. People there are more human. They can hate and love and be lonely. They're morehungup." "Are Canadians more friendly?" "Everyone can be friendly if they try.'' Conversation drifted to the war in Vietnam and the Great Society for a while. "What are you asking all these stupid bloody questions for?" "Sorry. When's your next 45 coming out on the hit parade?" No answer. "What do you try to do in your writing besides make money?" ''The money looks after .ts elf. There's no message in Nhat I write. I just write what I feel." Lightfoot met the Lake1ead' s finest folk-song writer, ;reg Tuck, asked him to play md Tuck obliged. He listened and applauded. "Compelling, but the kind of thing you get hung up on.'' Then Lightfoot had to leave for a television interview. We shook hands. "Interview okay eh? Well, we'll see you tonight" -assuming we'd attend. We did. Later at Selkirk gym, between all the songs off all the LP's, all the bad jokes and Harry Belafonte's office, "Here's a new song -- which I wrote for my new LP -- and it's the kind of thing that'll be big in about a year.

Sports Day at Winter Carnival could be tenned a bit less than a success this year. There seem to have been three causes; the wine and cheese party, the snow and a lack of organization and co-ordination among the S.A.S. itself. Forgetting the first two, I would like to say that most members did not do enough (i.e. nil) work toward their event. Next year I think the S.A.S. should schedule its events and then the executive should be on hand to co-ordinate the events and arbitrate any disputes. Sports Day results will appear next week in this space. When the basketball team was in Brandon a fc;w weeks ago, they had a surprise visit from last year's manager Mike "Windy" Wainwright. Mike, who graduated from L.U. last year, is now working at Eaton's in Winnipeg . ••• The L.U. skiers, in order to get in shape for future ski meets, are participating in local meets to sharpen their skills. Mike Wren seems to be the top performer this year so far. Mike and Tom Morton fought a tough battle last year for the top skier award, with Morton eventually winning the Male Athlete of the Year. Murray Smith of the Nor'Wester Hockey Team is the top LU scorer in L.C.H.A. play this year. Murray is in second place in scoring in a race which is dominated by Lake Superior State. The • fieldhouse is nearing completion, and everyone in the athletic department is hoping that this project will improve support at athletic events. I would imagine that there are some people at this university who have never seen a hockey or basketball game. • •• Quote of the week: If you can't play a sport, write a column • Ron Perozzo. Hussey takes it on the chin (again) by Larry Hebert Boyd Hussey will probably not play hockey again this season. As most of you know, Boyd was a goalie for the Nor' Westers until a disasterous weekend in Superior, Wisconsin. There he was ruthlessly hacked down by the stick of Bruce Chicoine of the Yellow Jackets. His jaw was broken, and he received a few cuts on the inside of his mouth. Since then_ his jaw has been wired shut and be has been on a liquid diet. A recent I.C.H.A. ruling has shown just how much the league tries to screw LU. Bruce Chicoine, mild-mannered forward of the Yellow Jackets and sometimes expert backstabber (as Lakehead fans can attest to) was suspended for three games plus the remaining portion of the SuperiorLakehead game from which he was ejected. At this point he has two games this weekend here against LU. This is a smart move by th e league to prevent any retaliation by LU players. Chicoine should have been banished for the rest of the season because he deliberately tried to injure Hussey. Now the big hurt comes. Boyd Hussey has also been suspended presumably because it takes "two to tango". Boyd's suspension is for the same two games. It matters little because he couldn't play anyway. The idea of the suspension is whatirksNor'Westerofficials. Boyd was suspended for provoking Chicoine (he admits to saying a few uncomplimentary words to Bruce) and for not wearing a mask. Why did the referees allow him to play without a mask? The league should suspend the referees too and get everyone into the act. As for Boyd's provoking Chicoine, Lakehead fans know that Bruce was not the most level-headed player in Junior Hockey and he seems to have deteriorated in intercollegiate play. Lets see a big crowd out at the Arena this weekend. Lets win two for Hussey. -➔ n 0 = CD CD n c CT --~ Look to Appolon #2 Appolon #1 ':I' CD Looking for a Deal?

Symposium: imposing and exposing It is high time ~is university had an intellectual impact on the Lakehead community. At present, L.U. is renowned for its student drunks, naughty newspaper, and 10% off each paycheck for the Building Fund. For years, advertise· ments have read: Send your son to Lakehead U. •· this keeps the money in Northwestern Ontario, . and keeps our economy booming. Publicity appears to be geared at concern for the economic welfare of this area, rather than to stress the intellectual atmosphere and academic standards (or non• standards, depending upon the department), which ideally should be a determining factor in choosing Lakehead. Such an unnatural stress on economics may be a major reason for this lack of impact on the ultraconservative trend of the community's awareness. The few speakers who have been brought into the area by the University, have carried with them a breeze from the outside world. But this breeze, typically, was hopelessly lost in the strong gales off Lake · Superior. So, in "Bobby Curtola land", is it not the students and the faculty here who are best situated to clear the Lake Superior Cloud? With this in mind, the AMS is sponsoring a Symposium next weekend, Feb. 8th, 9th, 10th, and 11th. Several outspoken individuals have been obtained as resource persons and discussion leaders. They will be keynote speakers on Friday evenin·g, and Saturday morning, and discussion may centre around the views which they will present. Certainly Jim Harding is no stranger to this campus. His controversial ideas set many students, faculty and administrative members thinking. Either they agreed with most Qf his thoughts, or completely rejected them. But the Lakehead community at large has not been exposed to his view• points. Larry Anderson and Dr. A. Asimi are presently on staff at L.U. While Mr. Anderson sup• ports a "participatory democracy" as a system of government for a university, Dr. Asimi does not agree that students should have a major voice, or responsibility, in deciding academic policy. Peter Larson, Finance If you disagree with these opinions, well, dammit, come and fight it out at the Symposium. If you agree, then voice your support. If you couldn't care less, you're an apathetic bastard, and the person this Symposium has been created for. Commissioner for the Ontario Union of Students, and presently attending the University of Western Ontario, will deliver a paper on student government and the concept of the com• munity of scholars. Bob Baldwin this fall refused a schola.ship from the University of ·western Ontario to work for the Canadian Union of Students. He was at Lake- head during the Registration crisis, a few months ago. Bob is an advocate of student syndicalism which is a strong stand of the Union Generale des Etudiants de Quebec (UGEQ). CUS does not have a policy statement on syndicalism, but .has strong resolutions dealing with the Quality of Education. Bob will be here to explain these. Ian MacKenzie, resource person from Rochdale College, will be at Lakehead University on February 8 to take part in the Educational Symposium. He will be here for a series of discussions during the day and a speaking engagement at 8:00 p.m. that evening in the University Centre Theatre. Mr. MacKenzie is one of many who are working in education by teaching and learning simultaneously in the free atmosphere of Rochdale College in Toronto. Those of us here at Lakehead who think we are getting an education •· any kind of an education let alone a good one -· should find his ideas extremely enlightening. Rochdale College is an attempt at education incorporating not only traditional material in a much freer environment but also constant questioning of the validity of any static theory describing a "philosophy of education". Rochdale is one among an ever growing number of experiments in Canada which are proving if by their existence alone that our educational system is seriously inadequate and needs radical change. Reali zing that the dialogue occurring during the Symposium will be meaningless if restricted to the members of this university, invitations have been extended to students and faculty of the Teachers College and Confederation College. A limited number of high school students and teachers have also been asked to attend. The students attending the Teachers College seem very concerned over the failure of amalgamation with L.U. This union is undoubtedly an excellent move, raising the calibre of elementary school teacher education, thereby improving the quality of education in grade school. But this union, from all appearances, will not take place, due to unsatisfactory salary negotiations. Should not professors who are concerned with the quality of university education also be concerned with the quality of primary school education? And does not this concern weaken when stress is put on financial gain? The appearance of Confederation College on the Lakebead scene, has posed the question; What is the position of University Schools within the University? A statement can be made that University Schools have no place here, and should be integrated with Confederation College. But there are many reasons for not integrating, and students on both campuses should be made aware of these. The underlying question in the above discussions is one of university education •· what is its aim? and who decides what this aim should be? Is the university an intellectual ivory tower, set apart from its community, and tossing out insecure bodies onto the industrial meat market? On the other band, is the university a social institution, being subject to social pressures, or applying pressures on society, and the community encompassing it? If the latter is the case, it will be brought out in the discussion groups, and in the final session of the Symposium. At this final session, it is hoped that some consolidation of ideas from all the discussion groups, will take place; and that this may aid individuals concerned with the apathetic isolation of the Lakehead, and of "Snakehead U." � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Local press accounts state simply that a suspect was apprehended one and a half hours later on Mac·har Ave. News stories concerning police action frequently omit credit where it is due. Thi::; case was no exception. Sgt. Jim Higgins possessed only the briefest description of the robber when he observed a man hastily re-enter a building on Machar Ave., after spotting his cruiser. Acting on a slim hunch, Sgt. Higgins located the man and brought him to the Bay-Algoma St. Bank. As the man walked ahead into the bank, the teller who had been on duty during the robbery looked up and screamed. Thus, a major crime was solved with admirable efficiency. Had Sgt. Higgins remained comfortable in his car, the robbery, like the previous one at that branch two years ago, might have gone permanently unsolved. Had he, upon apprehending the suspect, failed · to devise a certain method of identification, one that would make excellent evidence in court, the case might wen have fallen apart when confused witnesses picked wrong persons from a line-up. Through strong personal initiative, Sgt. Higgins established a record of efficiency that, in a difficult case of this type, might well stand as a record anywhere. He acted on a hunch. but on a hunch that was backed by half a 1fretime on The Force; he followed through in a manner consistent with his Honours Graduation from the Ontario Police College. It is this type ot performance that raises police work to the level of a profession. MONTREAL (CUP)-"Some students are :;•J used to listening to lectures and studying by themselves, that their ability to have an intellectual discussion with a fellow student on a new subject is severely limited." 'This is on.e of the conclusions reached by McGill lecturer Donald Kingsbury in his thirty-two page report on the McGill Students' Society Project in Course Design. The report, released this weekend, was started in May, 1966, by the University Affairs Committee with a budget of $960. from the Students' Council. Working with Kingsbury were John F'ekete, Robert Hajaly, Kim Liljefors, and Mark Wilson. The first phase of the program was a pilot project on "communication " The eighteen participating students were divided into groups of two cailed "diads", and were given printed material, designed by Kingsbury, to prompt their ·behavior and discussion. The organizers found "some students carried over such lecture behavior as being too shy to ask clarifying questions when they didn't understand because they didn't want to appear stupid." "It bec&.me more and more evident as we brought other groups into the project that almost every university student shows severe behavior deficiencies in areas of activity suppressed during lectures and during study activities Ii'.k e writing papers and reading,"' "Some students can wrte with ease about subjects they cannot discuss . Some students can Think Along With Mitch perfectly, but are at a loss when their partner asks them a question that requires their tho11ght."" The report mentions that the communication course was never totally successful, but, "we did demonstrate the feasability of breaking up large classes into active diads and triads.,, "Imagine a room of thirty students formed into groups of two. one or two consultants wandering around the room helping with problems, the students working with sheets which structure their discussion, probing, questioning, reading, clarifying, summarizing, too deeply involved in each other to notice the noise. We had that for many weeks, twice a week." The second phase of the program was "course design.'" Seven groups were sef up-English, Philosophy, Chemistry, Psychology, Chemistry, Communication, and Sociology. The overriding ~clusion of these groups was that the - aims of education in these fields could not 1;)e fulfilled in the lecture context." In an afterword to the report, the authors conclude: "We do believe the activity at the university should at once lead to, and arise from, the conscious considerations of questions of value: what is needed, and how it is achieved. The report says tbe present university perpetuates society's managerial elite. It does this, the report suggests, by preventing any major questioning of the existing social order. • Presidential Two ,n TBC6 Two second year Arts students are the only declared candidates in the Presidential election to date (February 6). Mike Barkwell and Boyd Hussey have both filed nomination forms, declaring their intent to run for President of the AMS. Of the four positions to be filled in the elections February 21, only these two Boyd Hussey Mike Barkwell students have been nominated. Other positions are Vice President of Academics. Vice President of Programming, and Director of Finance. Only rumours have circulated about persons intending to run for the other four positions. �February 9, 1968 THE ARGUS Page 2 This Week •••• Senate presentation points to inadequacy Monday, F eh. 5 Chemistry Club Meeting -- HJ p.m. -- HOO Calendar Committee Meeting •· 3:30 p.m. •· BR Rhythmic Gym •• 7 p.m. •• Aud.

Two concommital events have recently showed the total ineffectiveness of the "gains" students have made in Senate representation. On Tuesday, January 30th, the AMS made its first formal representation to the Senate· in accordance with its newly granted permit. The brief presented concerned the re-institution of a student-initiated course, Ukrainian Oa6. The course has not been functional this year because it was ommitted from the mimeographed booklets which were substituted for the late calendars. Since the course was initiated by students in 1965, the AMS is concerned about maintaining the existence of this precedence, particularly since the course has proven itself financially, and since there is no apparent reason for its cancellation. After the presentation was made Tuesday, the futility of partial student representation became evident. Of the thirtyodd people present, not one asked a single question. As a result, there was no discussion, dialogue or debate, and the students once again could not participate in the decision making procedure. Reports filtering through various reputable sources spoke of the AMS brief being passed on to the Curriculum Committee ofthe Senate for another month's discussion. Whether or not a decision on this issue will be reached before the 1968-1969 calendar is printed is the great question. The second quiet event that has pointed up the student's inability to have his say became evident when the lists of the new Senate Cornrnittee%,were posted. The announcement of the existence of these Senate Committees shows that the Senate of this University is evolving to a different form of decision _ making procedure. When the Universitywas still smaller, the Senate was capable of dealing <ilBS is making a lot of noise about their with most problems. Formation of the Committees indicates that, in fact, decisions will now be made in those various committees, with recommendations corning to the Senate, basically, for a rubber stamp of approval. Of the ten Senate committees listed, students have representation on only three minor ones; Bookstore Committee, Library Committee, and the Special Events Committee. Decisions made of the nature discussed in the Scholarship Committee, Curriculum Committee, and Agenda Committee are by Day Laban. Richard Needham's speaking engagement of last Friday left one shaking one's head in disbelief: how can one man touch on so many topics in less than three-quarters of an hour, and yet say so little? Although he was hilariously funny in his methodical butchery of sacred cows, his was more the repertoire of the stand-up comic than the barbed wit of the satirist. I had the distinct feeling that this talk was carefully timed as to the number of "laughs" it would receive, rather than with coherence and relevance of content in mind.

It is printed here in the hopes that it will clarify once and for all the ..myth.. surrounding the "Harding issue... ) In the Jan. 18 Argus, you say I was "clumsily dismissed" as a lecturer in Psychology at Lakehead University. Foreseeing the possible confusion that may arise from this statement, I am taking the time to clarify the issue. I think the facts of the case give an insight into the subtle workings of hiring, firing and tenure in universities and show why the present setup contradicts the principles of academic freedom. It is worth giving a chronology of the issue over my rehiring: JAN. 31, 1967, When the vast majority of faculty got a letter offering them re-appointment, I received the following: "At the present time, we find it impossible to make any decision regarding an appointment for you at Lakehead University in the coming calendar." "Out of fairness to you, we felt that this statement should be made at this time. I would be pleased to discuss this matter with you if you so desire. Yours sincerely, W. G. Tamblyn." This letter left the matter totally with me. The "if you so desire" at the end of the letter does this, and is indicative of the bureaucratic ethos. It shows that a bureaucracy doesn't have any real responsibility to an individual person. If a conflict between an individual person and those with bureaucratic power develops, the onus is nicely put on the individual. To make sense of the mean- lay their decisions.

Then, more in a dialogue with himself, than with me, he went on: "If you chose to stay-up late at night writing, or talking to students, this is all to the good, provided this does not interfere with your availability during the normal working hours." In my opinion, Dr. Rothney was creating a straw man out of one incident in a poor a:itempt to find a rationale for his not advising that I be re-ap• pointed. When 4e stated that " ... every member of the staff should be available, either in his office or at home on the other end of the telephone line, or in the classroom, at least between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. as a general rule", if he was suggesting this as a criterion for rehiring, he would exclude almost the entire staff. That the vast difference between Dean Rothney's and my own idea of a university •· which indirectly, I will argue •· had something to do with the hesitation to rehire me, is shown by one statement in this letter: "If you do not like an institution, you do not have to work for it, but if you do choose to work for it, a certain amount of co-operation is necessary. I have taken some time to go into this official letter because it shows that the "reasons" were more fictional than real. To say the least, they were overgeneralized. That letter again left the issue in my lap by saying, in reference to the ambiguous and subjective criteria stated, "If this doubt can be removed, as I hope it can, there would be no hesitation about continuing your appointment next year." In the meantime, some students and faculty had indicated their feeling that I should be re-hired. (Thanks). No ban for Danes Eal'h time the U.S. Supreme Court considers and then overturns a censor's ban on pornography, Americans wonder where it will all lead. To an increase in sexual aberration? To corruption of youth? To an outpouring of filth from every newstand and bookshelf? Parallels with other countries are never exact, but some answers to the ques#ons may be fo_µnd Jn Denmark. Eight months ago, that country pecame the first in the west to pass a law abolishing all censorship of anything written, without ~xception. An end to pornography suppression was finally proposed in Parliament, and an extensive study was undertaken by the government's four..m.an permanent commission on criminal-law reform, made up of the nation's Ombudsman, tbe director of public prosecutions, professor off jurisprudence at the University oj Copenhagen and the· President of the Court of Appeals. With only the judge dissenting, the commission concluded that censorship should go. Last June, after a minimum of debate, the 176man Parliament agreed by an overwhelming vote of 159 to 13. What happened immediately, of course, a flood of ne'w books came out under such labels as the ·'Porno Series" and with such titles as "Stark-Naked", the story of a frigid girl whose theraphy by an orgasm expert is carefully detailed. The estatic exactness of description had not been legal before, and the publishers settled back to await the hordes of buyers. MIDDLE-AGED ONANISTS They never materialized. Unsold dirty books were sent back by newsstands and kipsks in staggering numbers. According to one publisher, about 75 percent of the first great overprinting of titles were returned. 1'Four to six months before the law was changed," says Publishing Adviser Jorgen Rothenborg," you would distribute 20,000 to 25,000 copies of a new pornographic title. Now, only about half of that number are printed, and a third of them come back. I suppose we only print for the onanists, and that's not youth, but mostly people from 45 to 65" agrees Publisher Hans Reitzel, who helped pave the way to reform: "There really is a very poor market in Denmark for erotic literature, now that it is no longer forbidden fruit." It is still too soon for conclusions about the law's long-range impact on Danish mores. which are already among Europe's most liberal. But since the law was passed, there has been no marked increase in sex-related c r i m e s, illegitimate pregnancies, homosexuality, veneral disease or even marriage. That being so, the government is next planning to abolish all censorship of movies and pictures. •- reprinted from Time Magazine, January 26, 1968. I became convinced that Lakehead did not have an atmosphere conducive to reform in teaching method (i.e. to enhance education and remove training and plaigarism in the university.) I had the chance to come to S. F. U. as a teaching assistant in sociology where I had reason to believe I would-have more freedom in my teaching methods. I am, in fact, more free here and I am not being scrutinized and singled out by the administration. This does not mean S.F.U. is an educational haven. It rather means that there are more here, honestly trying to develop a free education. FEB. 24, 1967. Nearly a month after the first letter, I did receive a proposal for appointment. I'm still not sure what happened and still found the statement in the letter "We trust that you understand the delay in this regard ... " I can't say on the basis of the things said or written by either of the Drs. that I do. But I have what I consider to be a warranted speculation. My chronology and analysis make it abundantly clear that I was not made a job offer in a typical manner, and that there clearly was an ambiguous uneasiness about making an offer. This was but another thing that showed me the links between hiring, firing and tenure and a conservatism that underlies the present failure of Canadian universities to take education out of the realm of rhetoric into that of reality. In my opinion and that of many others, here at S.F.U., hiring, and firing should be taken out of the hands of administration al together. They are well known for their subjectivities and prejudices.

It was fortunate for the reading public that Mr. Sheridan mentioned the title of the book and its author, Dr. K. J. Charles, in the opening paragraph and closing sentence; otherwise anyone having read The Myth of Inflation would be at a loss in attempting to connect the criticism to the book. u Mr. Sheridan's article lacks consistency of argument, misquotes Dr. Charles' viewpoints, misunderstands completely the author's discussion of inflation and demonstrates without a doubt that Mr. Sheridan has absolutely no comprehension of the economic environment in which the Canadian economy operates. Mr. Sheridan has made the one fatal mistake of college students: he has shrouded his mind with one fonn of social and economic organization, technocracy, and has refused to allow any other fonn of economic study to penneate his brain. For those who do not know the meaning of Technocracy, let me define it. It is a theory and movement (prominent in 1932) advocating control and management of industrial resources, together with reorganization of the social system for the common good, based on the findings of technologists and engineers. Just why technologists and engineers would make such excellent social scientists is beyond my comprehension so I will not take issue with the point. Let us proceed now to examine Mr. Sheridan's criticisms. Only the first paragraph gives any indication of just what Dr. Charles was talking about in his recently published book. Mr. Sheridan said, "Dr. Charles advocates, as did Keynes before him, that a government policy of deficit spending and a governmental aim of full employment could perpetuate the price system indefinitely." In a five column article this is all our eminent critic could find to say about. the book itself. The rest of the article is an inconsistent tirade about the merits of technocracy along with a rather poor and premature eulogy of the price system. In the first place, the above quotation from Sheridan's article shows his misunderstanding of the book. Dr. Charles argued against the application of the PURE Keynesian model to inflation in the Canadian economic system. He was able to show empirically that inflation was a "paper tiger" in the Canadian economy again and again Once again the AMS Executive has managed to stay on the fence completely, thereby allowing themselves a nice, clean name and a good job reference for next year. This time it is over a student being thrown out of a lecture for poor attendance. The last council meeting saw the AMS take a stand on the issue. However, the following day, they slipped back into their usual non-involved state. They failed completely to see that when they denied support for the student unconditionally, they also negated themselves of the flimsey position they were already in. Vice-President Barkwel I went so far as to tell the student; "If you don't like the system, get out". This by itself constitutes a complete lack of regard for the rights of student? he is supposed to represent. Our student leaders are turning out to be more damned administrators, totally out of touch, and totally disinterested in the rights and needs of students. There are four weeks left before the new executive takes office. This time try to elect your executive not by a personality vote, but by their concern for student interests. We know that the present administration is merely riding out the stonn until they are safely out of office, secure with their good names, and best friends with the university administration which is screwing the student in the ear every time he turns around. Let's take a minute and reflect on what the AMS Counci I has failed to do for us. They screwed us with the registration hassle, they fa~led completely over the principles involved with the parking fiasco, and now they have managed ,- to bugger us left, right and centre when they sold-out on the attendance issue. On the other hand, we've had lots of fun shows like old Gord Lightfoot, and we are soon to see Ian and Sylvia, at a token two bucks a shot. When are they going to realize that they are not merely a goddam booking agency for neat dances and other crap items which makes this place more like a high school than a university. It's about time that they got out of their coccoons and did something for us. Future student leaders need a precedent to go in the field of refonn and student's rights. Socially, this is one of the most progressive high schools in the country. Unfortunately, we are on the same level as Miss Fathishom's Boarding School for Young Virgins when it comes to student government. It just doesn't exist here. - ch and that the economic losses incurred in this country by trading employment for the price stability were monumental. He therefore advocated that the government pursue policies promoting economic growth and full employment, since the gains. from full employment would offset the losses from inflation a hundred fold. The reason why Dr. Charles calls inflation a "paper tiger" in Canada is because this country is so abundant in natural resources, has the fastest growing labour force of almost any industrial country, and has a surplus of capital stock to call on at any time excess demand might arise. Thus there should be no fear of demand-pull inflation of the type Keynes analyzed in his General Theory. In other words, our price system, contrary to what Mr. Sheridan thinks, is not in danger. To substantiate this, let me quote Dr. Charles' book, page 71. "The study of relative prices and their behavior during the post war inflation in the United States and Canada seems to show that the increases in the price level experienced in North America so far have not impaired the efficiency of the price system as an allocatmechanism." If Mr. Sheridan requires more empirical proof, I suggest he re-read the book. To discount Sheridan's contention that Dr. Charles advocated Keynesian policies, I quote The Myth of Inflation, page 75. Canadian "economic policies by and large gaily ignore the complications of the real world and apply the restrictive policies appropriate to inflationary situations of the ideal Keynesian model to deal with all price increases." In other words the economic policies of Lord Keynes vis-a-vis inflation are inappropriate to the Canadian environment. Havingdealtwith Dr. Charles let us now examine Mr. Sheridan. As to the fact that employers exchange working hours for purchasing power, I concede, as would any four year old who gets 25 cents a week for taking the garbage out for his mother. Mr. Sheridan, however, contends that with advancing technology, more and more human labour is replaced by machine laoour with the result that there is a lack of effective demand. There is an abundance pf production and Sir, yet nobody has the money to 0uy it. If this be the case, then Attached is a copy of page 14 why, might I ask, was the of the Argus, December 7, 1967, Canadian economy able to gen- issue.

And nobody will be particularly anxious to pull you out. The Argus this year has been the best ever, but eternal vigilance is the price of integrity as well as liberty. Sincerely, T. B. Miller Chairman Department of History �Page 6 February 9, 1968 THE ARGUS January: hovv vvent the vvar? By John Kelsey CUP Staff Writer While college editors spent January, 1968, lancing obscenities through clouds of pot smoke, the war between students and the world escalated quietly. Noisy protests erupted in only five cities,down somewhat from November's anti-Dow protest fever, but legislative battles for student senators were won in five more. A University of Western Ontario student dramatically ascended to the board of governors, and the University of Alberta rejected a student governor. "We don't believe in student power," said U of A president, Al Anderson. Three University of B.C. senators asked their constituentsif they could quit because they weren't getting anywhere, and the univerc:ity of Calgary's academic president did quit because he couldn't talk to his board. And across the country, students cooled it in drunk tanks as winter carnival fever highballed through central Ontario, Manitoba, and the Lakehead. The most visible battlefronts last month were in Quebec City and Waterloo, Ontario. At Waterloo Lutheran, the university fired two protPc:c:ors, George Haggar and Gray Taylor. Both were good teachers, but both were loudly critical of the university and its administration. Four hundred students retaliated with a class boycott and day-long teach-in Jan. 17, but the student council backed down and refused to support the action. The Canadian Association of University Teachers is investigating, nobody's been rehired, and the issue is in for a several month stall. But a week later, 1,000 Quebecois students travelled to Quebec city to demonstrate outside the legislature. Grievance? Government channels had held 33,000 of 68,000 student loan applications in red tape masses, causing starvation on the campuses. The minister promised to speed it up, but UGEQ leaders called it a stalemate. The biggest fight of all is shaping in Saskatchewan, where premier Ross Thatcher has raised tuition fees, removed high school teacher's bargaining rights and assumed direct financial control of the university. Students, teachers, professors and staff are mad. As hell. It will remain just a battle of words until F eh. 5, when the legislature reconvenes to enact Thatcher's threats. Student organizers are waiting. and organizing. A FREER PRESS The other visible eruptions were rel a ti vel y minor: engineers atthe University of Toronto snowballed anti-Dow protestors, and University of Windsor students rallied for a free student press. There, the 100 who marched through the snow protested the administrationforced resignation of Lance co-editors John Lalor and Marian Johnstone. It took more rallies, a strong student council statement of support and a Canadian University Press investigation, but editor Johnstone was re-instated and and the paper's autonomy guaranteed. Lalor is still out. What started it all? A few shits, and Jerry Farber's, the Student as Nigger. Lalor.'s not the only editor out for obscenity -- Argosy Weekly editor Allan Rimoin was fired by the university president Jan. 31, after a hassle caused indirectly by the same article. His publications advisory board is against him, and the whole mess in Sackville is obfuscated by a haywirenewspaperconstitution. "They all agree the constitution should be re-written, but they think it's expedient to fire me first," Rimoin said. Meanwhile, 17 college papers in Canada have printed the Student as Nigger piece, partly as a solidarity gesture Canada - land of paupertunity oy Karl A. J. Goodwin Somehow the conference on "Poverty in the Affluence" turned out to be a non-happening in Winnipeg, from a conference standpoint anyway. Four delegates, including myself, attended the sessions which included traditional presidential greetings and a movie, followed by a discussion on whether or not a poor Montrealer should be free to alleviate his money by allowing himself the luxury of mushrooms when he was unable to support his ten kids (one of which was born nude and uncensored in living 16mm). Everyone jumped at the opportunity to say what he had to say, like "Canned mushrooms are expensive and not nutritious." The completion of the Great Mushroom Debate formed launching pad for discussion on how we sixty some delegates could do our share to "stomp out poverty". A random consensus indicated that' 'Something has to be done." THE "REDS" BLED In th~ '_'work group" in wh~ch I _participated, th~ Cana~1an Indian was put under discussion.

It was also brought to our attention that there were no Indians in the "work group". A white representative on Indian Affairs left on another affair, ten minutes after discussion started. Other groups I found were apparently discussing how to make welfare agencies more concerned with welfare, and churches more Christian-like and charitable and how to create meaningful jobs for thousands of jobless people stuck in the rut. A talk from a Baptist minister from the District of Washington made the interested aware that the American Negroes were upset with their bag too. floor from its "bed" (the kitchen table).

The tempests grow deeper when you read the article itself -- each flurry reinforces its .message. The people in universities -- students and teachers -- don't control universities. Negroes in America are second-class citizens, and so are studentsin universities. SENA TE STORMING Academocratically, five campuses got a total of 17 senators. Seven are at the University of Manitoba, the largest catch to date. Dalhousie and the University of Victoria got three each, Brock got two, and St. Francis Xavier got two. But St. F .X.' s aren't real -- they don't vote. One of them, council president John Gorman, profusely praised the university's liberal administration anyway. Students also advanced on the senate committee front. Dalhousie, Memorial of Newfoundland and Waterloo all got students onto key planning committees. The total so far is 15 universities with senators, and negotiations are now on at the University of Toronto and McGill in Montreal. The University of B.C. got its four senators last spring. They've been there long enough to conclude the senate will never open its secret chamber, so three went to a student meeting and asked their constituents for permission to quit. Students said no, planned a mass sit-in at the next senate meeting, and negotiations with the senate for openness opened again. The explosion was slated for St. Valentine's day, but the threat has both sides talking again and it's been cancelled. The studtmts senators. so far CUSSTABLE Last year's major battleground, the country-wide CUS front, enjoyed relative peace -one in (Prince of Wales College) and none out.

POT SMOKE And everywhere the pall of pot smoke. The university of Manitoba discovered some profs smoke it. Winnipeg's good burghers blew their collective cool. Catholic Loyola of Montreal outlawed drugs of all kinds, shortly after police found 100 hippies stoned in a Montreal church. Finally, January bodes ill for the early blooming student activists in Ontario. A committee of university presidents meeting at Waterloo Jan. 20 declared, "There is no such thing as a student right to representation in the university government." Academocracy leads to sham democracy, they said. They're not the only ones catching on. Toronto Star business columnist Jack MacArthur, who talks directly to those who own Canada, Jan. 30 warned that if student power ever gets out of control and takes over the university, students might use it for their own ends and not the country's ends. State power moves in, crushingly, he said. Believe it. Don't Forget your heart's desire Morning Drag?

Lets have a packed bus so we can all have a fun trip. In case you haven't heard, the fieldhouse opening has been delayed again (what news), because the basketball lines in the key were not centered. Don Holmstrom of the Nor'Wester's hoop team is again making headlines. Don, a sophomore, has scored over 1000 varsi u points which breaks Bob Elvin's former variety record. Don ha~ scored 423 points this year while he potted 581 last -year. Roy Holman is second high scorer this year with a varsity total of 189 in 18 games. Girls, in case you're interested, Don's phone number is 622-4190. The ski and squash team hopefuls have been diligently at work lately in order to make the two intercollegiate teams. Both have upcoming intercollegiate meets scheduled. Last year the squash team did not fare too well in the Ontario championships, but this year's team has that year of experience on their side and could conceivably win the title. The ski team, on the other hand, is defending OIAA champs and I think we can certainly look forward to another top-notch team under the capable direction of Bob Morgan. The only member of last year's team who will definitely not try out this year is Tom Morton, (last year's Male Athlete of the Year at L. U.), who graduated. With the addition of Tim Hanarhan to the L.U. hopefuls it looks like Morton's loss can be coped with. Bob Morgan of the ski team is very disappointed in turnouts for his free lesso11s every Tues. and Thurs. at 12:30 on the hill in front of the U. All I can say is it's too bad because Bob is a great teacher, but the lack of participation is typical of the apathetic sports scene at L.U . ••• The S.A.S. seems to be leaving a lot of work of the interform program up to "Coach Hank" and the results are that the program has fallen apart. A bit more organization and participation by the S.A.S. would help. As the hockey season ·comes to a close, injured hockey goalies return to ixactice. Boyd Hussey has returned to practice after being out of action for a month with a broken jaw. Boyd feels his injury was a type of blessing in disguise because he has since lost some weight and has been nominated as a candidate for the President of the A.M.S. Meanwhile Al "The Cat" Johnson feels in good enough shape to return, although he is not sure since Mrs. Dusang has offered him a position in her modem dancing class. The way things appear it looks as if Chinese students would certainly have a stranglehold on interform table tennis. They're unbeatable. The Lakehead University basketball team defeated the Wisconsin State Yellowjacket Junior Varsity team 65 - 60 Sunday to avenge Saturday's 76 - 64 loss. Saturday a sluggish Nor' Wester defence allowed the Yell ow jackets to pot many easy shots while Don Holmstrom's 36 JI points at least kept L.U. in the game. The Yellowjackets had a well-balanced attack and fine control of both the offensive and defensive boards, allowing them to take control of the game. The Yellowjackets were led by Kober who hooped 16, but .he was also aided by three other teammates who scored in double figures. Rob Cameron, was the second highest scorer behind Holmstrom, with 9. Wisconsin was sparked by Kober who controlled the boards and Seavals who dominated scoring in the last IO minutes of the game. Wisconsin suffered a big blow when their top scorer and rebounder Kober was injured late in the game.

THE ARGUS First European Setninar on detnocratization of education EDITORS NOTE: The writer is an associate secretary for the Canadian Union of Students. one of two CUS representatives at th1> seminar. By Bob Baldwin, for Canadian University Press. DUBLIN, IRELAND, JAN. 19 (CUP) -- It isn't just the Iron Curtain that separates student movements in the world. This is the conclusion that can be drawn from the political alignments of the representatives of- the various national unions of students attending First European Seminar on the Democratization of Education, co-sponsored by the International Union of Students (IUS) and the Union of Irish Students (USI), January 17 - 19. For the allignment was not the traditional East-West dichotomy. There were three factions; the East European unions, the West European non-syndicalist unions and the syndicalist unions. And from the point of view of leftness on the political spectrum, the syndicalis'ts held the field. The tone was set by the firs't paper presented, an analysis byRylardStemplowski of the ZSP (Poland). The following passage was adopted almost unquestioned by all delegates except those from the NUS (Britain), the SUS (Scotland) and the USI (Ireland): "The aim of the process of democratization is to achieve a democratic education based on the following principles: -university; -free education and economic guarantees; -unitarism; -progressive and democratic content of education." This process must have "internal integrity," Stemplowski said. "The principles of democratic education are linked with each other and one has to put them into practice simultaneously.'' Stemplowski contended that "the process of democratization is more advanced in the socialist countries than in the capitalist ones." This provoked an instant response from Geoff Martin of Britain who irrevocably committed himself to the statement that a socialist country was not a prerequisite. Most vocal in opposing Martin's view were three syndicalist unions from capitalist countries, Jean-Marcel Bouguereau of UNEF' (France), Harold Breher of UGEQ (Quebec) and Jeff Wellans of VVS (Belgium-Flemish). These groups all emphasized the essential political and ideological nature of education which inevitably becomes bound up with interest of the controlling group in a society. They view the new role of the university as a factory for "learned robots" as being mere reflections of the needs of the capitalist class in an industrial society. Not unexpectedly, several East European unions sought to justify universal accessibility as an investment by government in the future increased productivity of university graduates, thus subtly differing from the syndicalist view. This was especially evident in the stand of Sijbolt Noords of the NSR (Romania). Only UGEQ and YUS (Yugoslavi·a) thought to justify universal accessibility in terms of developing a critically aware society through education. In terms of strategy, the three schools of thought were definitely delineated. • The Western European nonsyndicalists preferred to direct their efforts toward close consultation wi~ government and university officialdom. Their activities assumed reasonableness and responsibility as well as a basic identification of interest between the students and those who determined educational policy. Governments and university officials were to be thought of as friends and not to be pushed too far. The Eastern Europeans were basically of the same mind although their rationale lay in the concept of the collective self-will of a democratic socialist state. In other words, they saw the state as representing the people's will and therefore they did not see the student's role as being in a ·position contradictory to that of those in control of their education. Like the Western Europeans, they saw themselves as lobbyists integrated into the mainstream politics of the state. The syndicalists represented a radical departure from this point of view. They saw Richard Needham (cont'd) "Unfair to Canadian Poets". Really, Mr. Needham, somehow you missed the boat! With the educational revolution in full swing on all Canadian campi, you were given a real chance to direct your barbs at the ills and woes that beset our system of higher education; instead you chose to behave like the French general (not De Gaulle) who came to the crossroad and rode off in four directions . You regaled us with sallies on the Pill, on organized and disorganized religion, on manners and morals, but you left curiously untouched those subjects that concern us q1ost. It should have come as no surprise to you that the question and answer period failed to produce any commentary whatever: what was there to ask? And about what? 'It would have been foolish as to try and "question" Myron Cohen or SamLevenson after their nightclub acts. However, as a night-club act your Lakehead University ad• dress had considerable merit, so why should anyone complain? It is not every day one can enjoy one's lunch in the University Centre theatre, while being entertained by a man who must surely be in great demand as an afterdinner speaker. But those who came in search of the views and comments on the academic situation of a man who commands a large readership across Canada, and is thus in a position to make an important and lasting contribution to the contemporary educational scene, came in vain. the collective self interest of the student as being an essential contradiction to the interests of university officialdom and the powers in control of education -- the capitalist class. The syndicalists thus concentrate on developing a high degree of class solidarity to undermine the opposition's power. This includes affiliation with groups of similar interest, including labor unions. They see themselves as outside the mainstream and bent on destroying it, not cooperating with it. To most people the seminar was a success. But to the Western Europeans, their conservatism guaranteed they got nothing. One wonders why they were there. c~ e 00\) o~s~o of-~"~- G►,~~►t\ \), ~O ~" \..· .,.o ~"~ WHAT IS IT?

Students and faculty (and the odd administrator) entering the University through the tunnel were immediately struck by spray-painted slogans from one extremity of the tunnel to the ·other. "Revolution NOW" was the first mark, appearing on the concrete outside the north end of the tunnel. ••Look south baby and think" jumped from the middle of the wall in orange paint, as did the catch phrase "Tune in, tum on •· and take over." .,Free schools, free· education, free love" exemplified the influence of the recent Symposium on those responsible, while ..

Some concerned people began immediately checking hands, looking for tell-tale paint stains on hands of known subversives; others looked for more paint to finish the job.

A Symposium hangover by Ray Shankman What can one say about the happenings of Friday night, except to say it was an experience, totally worthwhile, insofar as our Wasp culture communicates best after ~ drink or two or three ( ad infinitum), and thaL.it was_a step to better student-teacher relationships. For drinking breaks down consciousness (self-consciousness that is), and this breakdown seems important to a viable revolution of the type that has been proposed by the student left. Of course the breakdown of consciousness isn't complete, and it can't be complete unless we come under the perpetual influence of alcohol and drugs. We do not have our OWN high. We wake up sober, full of consciousness, even guilt at our breakdown, with a headache, perhaps a hangover; we wash our mouths out, gargle a bit and try to forget by relegating past events to just another party, but a "damn good one". It is indeed \lnfortunate that. we can't. loosen up without these stimulants, that we .can't be honest without them, for on Larry Anderson, Psych. Dept., Friday night I heard much honesty and saw much soul from people who appeared dishonest and souless. MASKS REMOVED We live in a society that encourages duality and hypocrisy at all levels and the other night the . attempt was made to take off some of those worthless clothes that have been hampering our physical and mental movements for so long a time. Both students and teachers were, for the most part, unconscious of their masks: The alcohol had served its purpose. The party was Dionysian. Only growth could result. Yet some may see that night as a travestry and make the comment, "nothing wi 11 come of this." But I see it differently. I say, · that as an educational experience, as a life experience, this night was successful. Breakdown of consciousness helps instill consciousness, Many of us enjoyed the -dance of emotions, the holding of hands, at least the reaching out to hold hands, the sincere voices and the glassy eyes. Perhaps it is a comment on our culture that this breakdown exists when we drink alcohol, that we don't dig each other at all unless there is this special rapport. In view of this we should change our classrooms into barrooms, call a spade a spade. Students are uptight and run to the bar to get lowloose, to get away from the classroom. To encourage running to the classroom, rather than running to the john, make the c_lassroom a bar and if this can't be literally applied then we have to consider how somehow we can turn on · without it. For isn't this what all of us want, REALLY want, some rapport a meaningful expefience to come out of our seemingly irrelevant positions. Part of the solution to our academic foonality, inherent in our academic structuring, lies in a breakdown of consciousness. Once achieved it should be sustained for long periods of time. Then we can FORUM: question the candidates Today, noon, ,n the cafeteria McGill Dean blasts activism, outside riot inciters Bob Baldwin, CUS feel and absorb. For, when we talk about the University and the problems pertaining to it, we are dealing with communities, we are dealing with relationships, and the appalling horror of our time is that we -are not in any way significantly involved with our subject or with our fellow man. And this makes the University of today meaningless. Thus, to give meaning to our lives, our involvement has to be personal, intensely personal to the point where joy and not guilt, where perception and not blindness predominate, where, in point of fact, we are in some sort of harmony with ourselves. Friday night for me was very personal. I talked to people. I said outrageous things (but then I usually do). I enjoyed it. I talked to PEOPLE. I was a PERSON digging them, seeing the situation (overall) as a beautiful drama, a beautiful happening replete with happy and sad endings, a ·happening that offered a new consciousness, a new awareness even to those who didn't ask for it. MONTREAL (CUP) •• A McGill University dean attacked student activism and claims outsiders sparked the protests on campus last November. Dean of engineering, D. L. Mordell, who retires in June, told McGill honor society members at their annual banquet Thursday (Feb. 1), "Students have no right to dictate the pattern of the curriculum. uu; they don't like what is offered in a particular course in a particular university, let them go elsewhere," he said. .. It must be clearly understood that the student is an exceptionally privileged member of society," he said. "The privilege is fully justified in terms of his future contribution to society, but with all privilege goes responsibility." He said those students and staff who "believe they should have absolute power" should set up their own university. He predicted it would cost $Q,000 per student and added, ,.I don't think it would be a very good university." In student demonstrations on campus .. we hear much of students' rights," be said, "but very little of students' responsibilities." He spoke of the "evident presence of outsiders •· either students from other universities or professional agitators•· who have flocked to helpmanipulate student opinion, and who have supplied expert knowledge of techniques of protest. "In the name of democracy they try to impose their war upon, and interfere with the education of very large numbers of students. "Can anything be less democratic?" he asked. Mordell also criticized faculty who took advantage of academic freedom by "inciting· and encouraging students to attempt to hinder the work of the university." The dean said the student '1as no right to set standards ~f behavior. Students -should live .. subject to the normal patterns of behavior accepted in the society at large." W. Stanford Reid to speak W. Stanford Reid, a prominent historian, ·will speak on February 22 and 23. His topics will be "Society and the Reformation" (Thursday), and "The Christian Idea of Authority" (Friday). Dr. Reid graduated from McGill with a BA in 1934 and an MA in 1935. He received his ThB in 1938 and his ThM in 1939. In 1941 he earned. his PhD from the University of Philadelphia. He was a minister of the Presbyterian Church in Canada from 1941 to 1951, and taught history at McGill from 1951 to 1965. At present Dr. Reid is professor and head of the Department of History at the University of Guelph. As a histouan, Dr. Reid has special interest in British history, particularly the 15 and 16 centuries in Scotland; the Reformation in Europe, particularly the work of Calvin; and development of modem European thought. He is the author of several books and many articles which have been published in historical and theological journals. Dr: Reid's lectures, sponsored by the Inter-Varsity Christian Fellowship will be held at 12:30 p.m. in the University Centre theatre. �Page 2 Feoruary 16, 1968 THE ARGUS on parked hooks Funny thing about the Library. It has all those seats and cubicles for studying. And al I those people wandering aiml-essly around trying to locate somewhere to study. When you stop to think about it, it really is funny .

Harty ·responds to editorial Port Arthur Police Chief Onni Harty's handling of the accidental shooting of a civilian by a Police Constable, was criticized by Tom Macleod in an Argus editorial, Jan. 18th. No public reply to this editorial was ever made by Chief Harty. His apparent decision to let the matter drop rather than keep the fire alive by continued discussion, might well be considered a wise move on his part. However, Chief Harty did react to Mr. MacLeod's editorial. Some time following its publication, the chief telephoned as yet an undetermined number of persons at the Lakehead. In each case the editorial was discussed, and in each case the person contacted came to the conclusion that Chief Harty was not happy about the editorial. Because the occurrence of these calls has filtered back through several hands , it is difficult to state with certainty the precise effect, if any, these calls were intended to produce. Perhaps the chief, understandably angered, was simply letting off a little steam amongst his colleagues. If the calls had any other purpose, they could only indicate that Chief Harty undertook a cour'se of action that was beneath him. Since taking office in late 1965, Chief Harty has worked quiet miracles in the Port Arthur Police Department. He has changed the general atmosphere within the department_from t~at of a green pasture for war veter~ns! to _that of an em~rgmg pohce organization, one that shows · mdicat1on of becommg equal to any in the province. However, ranking members of any police force hold notoriously precarious positions. No matter what abilities these men may have, there are always those within the department who seize upon any opportunity to undermine their security in order to further their own careers. And there is always the man of influence, politician or merchant. who will carry out the same manoeuvre in order to provide an opening for a friend. Thus, when something like Mr. McLeod's editorial rocks the boat, panic often results. It is the type of editorial that offers itself to the kind of person who, though they quite possibly might disagree with it entirely, would nevertheless not hesitate to use it to further their own ends. Mr. MacLeod's editorial was completely justified. It will be a sad day when a policeman is able to shoot a civilian, for any reason, and the public is afraid to ask why. If Chief Harty can find it within himself to accept such questioning as the normal indication of a concerned public, he will almost certainly enhance his image with those persons who are asking the questions, and with the public at large. He will also show those about him that his position is strong enough to weather a few storms. letters to the editor A bottle of spirit for fans It seems to me that school spirit is a precious, yet readily available commodity. One can buy a whole body of it for only $5.00 at the nearest LCBO. A case in point is the recent hockey game between the Nor'Westers andMichigan State Chatterly's sham Monday, February 5, Lakehead University's hallowed cafeteria. Above me hung a great poster of the immortal D. H. Lawrence, or so I thought at the time. Firmly affixed to this portrait was a sign with the message WANTED . Now I know as well as anyone, that D. H. Lawrence has not been with us for a number of years. I naturally assumed that it was therefore a message to the student body concerning his legacy, namely his books. But no, I was soon to find out that I was sadly mistaken. What I had assumed was a symposium or some such study group was a sham, a slight to the character of one of our great writers. Mr. Barkwell, I address this sentence to you. If you can say that D. H.

Uh .. .It is my sole purpose tonight to remind you of the history and workings of this company as well as ... uh ... to outline the present crisis and its possible solution. Uh ... The factory, which is the heart of Gunk, was the unmarvelled invention of the third century B.C. It was built to meet the needs of that cen• tury, and, since fate has seen fit to prolong and enhance those needs, Gunk carries on. Basically, its function is to produce slot heads for boats using roundheads as the raw substance. The roundheads come from a large rock mass called thick• head. The roundhead substance is .easily separable from the thickhead by applying a certain amount of pressure to the rock mass. We take the pure roundheads and shove them into square slots. Then the finished pro• duct, slot heads, are distributed to the various boat companies where they are used to stabilize boats. The trouble began when the companies stopped shipping food in their boats, and began shipping tin cars and anti-personnel bombs. The slotheads in the boats exploded and ceased to function as stabilizers. . Under our present productuon system, we cannot produce an efficient slothead from our stock-pile of roundheads. There are several remedies: 1 . We could produce hard heads for sale to Creepy Create Co. This would be difficult because most of our shareholders are also shareholders in the boat companies ... and they are in competition with Creepy Create. Besides, the consumers think they want tin cars and anti-personnel bombs and it's a lot of work to reason with people who don't understand business. 2. We could put electrical circuits into the slotheads which would prevent breakdowns. And so, uh ... Gentlemen, if you follow my line of reasoning, 1 would suggest we put circuits in the slot heads, save ourselves a lot of effort, and maybe even our jobs. The most important aspect of the AMS Council meeting of February 7: 1968, was the redefining of the AMS executive duties to cope with changing conditions at the University. Chief Justice Bert Baumann announced the changes to be placed in the constitution to Council, saying that the new definitions would allow the Executive to be increased by one member if necessary at a future date. The major change was in the Vice Presidential position. The ammendment calls for a Vice President of Academics and a Vice President of Programming. The position of Secretary has been dropped in favour of the latter. Treasurer is now the Director of Finance. He will appoint a Comptroller to work with him. This division can be made formal in future if a five-person executive 1s desired. Article Vlll of the constitution now reads as follows: I. The president shall be the chief executive officer of the Alma Mater Society. He shall call and preside at all meetings of the AMS, the AMS Council, and the AMS Executive Committee, and shall perform such other duties as are usually incident to the office of president, or as may, from time to time, be required of him by the AMS Council. In case of an equality of votes at any meeting of the Alma Mater Society, the AMS Council or the Executive Committee, the president shall have a casting vote. He shall be a member ex-officio of all the committees, excepting the Judicial Committee. he shall co-ordinate all activities of campus societies an• other recognized organizations; he shall perform other duties as are incident to his office or may be required of him from time to time by • the AMS Council. 4.

Vice-president of programming photo by Drew JERRY BURNS "I think I'm the most experienced person to run for the position of Vice President of Pro- • gramming. As far as programming is concerned with respect to entertainers, I have broad knowledge and personal contacts in the field. I want to see a better rounded programme; probably the same number of Dinner Dances, but more plays, musical concerts, speakers, and so on. In short, something more becoming a university than strictly animal dances." Jerry Burns is in first year Business Administration, after being in Arts for a year. He was very active in all phases of student life while at High School. He has instructed in musical corps, has played and captained sports teams, has edited school year rooks and newspapers, and has sat on school council. Mr. Burns won an activity award in Sudbury for organizing a Boys Home Economics club, and (cont'd p. 6) KEN DAVIS "I feel I know what the students demand from their AMS Executive and I feel that I am qualified to fulfill the role of Vice President of programming. But I don't want to be quoted as saying that because it's too dramatic. Every campaign does the same bit. It loses it's meaning. What you say becomes more important than what you do; instead of saying these things, you've got to do them." Ken Davis is a second year Arts student. He has attended Lakehead for two years, as well as having been at other universities. He was on the Student Summer committee at the University of Toronto. At high school, he was involved on an administrative body of a fraternity concerned with welfare. Mr. Davis has also been involved in social programming at a summer camp for four years. Mr. Davis said "I want to make sure students get a good return from their investment of $20 in the AMS Council." KEITH GAMMAGE "I came into the University last September. I've never heard so many grievances in my life. Mostly about co-ordination and communication they complained." Keith Gammage is a second year Artsman, majoring in History. He says of himself, "I'm not that well qualified, but I'd certainly like to try to improve things. I'd like to create better communications between the Executive, the Council, and the student body." Keith put in two years at Mount Royal College, where he was on the Council. He was also the Prime Minister of the Model Parliament they held. At present he is the public relations man for the Lakehead University Liberals. A native of Eatonia, Saskatchewan, he was President of the Young Liberal club there. "To satisfy the whole student body" Mr. Gammage placed as his priority if elected, "and (cont'd p. 6) �Page 4 February 16, 1968 THE ARGUS Amid paint cans and stacked tables, the tape recorder was placed. Associate Justice Karl Goodwin was in charge, with the consent of the Presidential candidates, Mike Barkwell and Boyd Hussey. Presidential elections 1968 Experience BARKWELL - "I think the major experience I have is being Vice Pre•s ident this year. I also have been President of Burlington Central Higl, School, and when at Fenlin Falls High School, I wanted to run for President, but unfortunately Grade 13 students were not allowed to run. I was very active· m Fenlin, assisting the council in such things as doing the planning for the dances, emceeing the dances, and just doing basic council work." HUSSEY • "I was on the Student Council at my High School in Toronto for four years, President of my class at the same High School for two years. At Mount Allison University I worked on several of the Council committees. I was also on the orientation committee. I was chairman of the ways and means committee for the class of '66. There is also the administrative experience I gained teaching and the programming experience I gained as Programme Director at a summer camp for the last four years." Liason between Confederation College, Teachers' College and the University HUSSEY - "Since it is now inevitable that Teachers' College is going to be linked with the University, it is obvious we must get more in touch with them. If they understand more the way students here operate and think •· and from what appeared in the Argus in the first term it seems there's a feeling at Teachers' College that. they're not appreciated, or thought very highly of. Both sides are going to have to explore this if it does exist." BARK WELL • "The links with Confederation College have been strengthened. We've been over there to attend one of their Counci_l mretings and we've had several conversations with their leaders. We helped them with their Council. Now we're helping them set up their books. I know Don (Lees) right now is giving them ideas on how to set up central banking. I haven't had too much communication with Teachers' College unfortunately, but I think that we should, now that we are started on a plan to amalgamate. It's going to be a little difficult because their program is the way it is. They're away from their school so much they're going to have difficulty assimilating to the University. But the social programming I think should prove extremely beneficial." The choice Should student governments take stands on affairs outside the University HUSSEY • "If the feeling in the University is pro specific one issue, it is ·debatable whether the Council can actually come out and take a stand on it. However, if the feeling in the Council was that they should take a stand, they should be prepared to do so, since they are the student leaders. They should not hesitate if they feel a stand is necessary, to take one. We are a part of society and we should be aware of what's happening, interested in helping or changing anything we can." BARK.WELL • "I think that in some issues it might be necessary for the University through_ the AMS to take a stand. Issues like birth control, and making available information on it. If there is to be any action taken • • like on Vietnam •· it should come through the clubs and not the student government itself. Not that I mean the student government should be wishy-washy, and not care about what's going on, but I think that the economics of the situation will not allow it. In some cases I think it would be to take stands.•· University Schools as part of the University BARK.WELL - "There's lots of room for this faculty. I think they serve a specific purpos.e. Look at the way education is Student representation in University government BARKWELL - "Myselfl feel that we should have representation on the Senate. I had thought over this and disagreed with representation on the Senate because of what happened at UBC. But they have a larger Senate out there. They felt they were just rubber-stamping. The students were not well enough represented to have any say at all. But after talking to Mr. Tamolyn and to some of the professors on Senate, I thought that if we could just get on the Senate committees • like the curriculum committees • then we could do some good. But I think we would have to have a seat on Senate in order to get on the committees. Work is done in committees and Senate, I think, just hashes over what committees do. We have to get on the curriculum committees." HUSSEY • "I'm worried about the sense of having any students on the Senate. It might be simply tokenism. But, I think the good aspects of it outweigh the adverse. It's not just getting membership on the Senate. We must have members on all the committees, particularly the faculty -committee because we've got to work closer with the faculty. As the two groups - students and faculty are the ones most concerned with education, the Administration and the Board of Governors have to realize students are concerned over the type of education they're getting. They're going to have to realize also that they're asking • and expecting • to assume a larger role in deciding just how that education is going to come about. They've got to throw out the old idea that educational reform always comes from the top. There are many faculty members who can see this change in the trends, and as soon as the Administration does, things around here will happen a lot quicker. Things will be a lot better and there will be a lot more actual learning done. It's not just a matter· of getting an education .anymore so you can get a job. It's fast becoming a majority of students who want a straight education not for a job but just for the sake of getting an education and improving themselves. And so in that sense we must get Senate representation and committee representation too." MIKE BARKWELL photo by Drew �February 16, 1968 Page 5 THE ARGUS ?f .t~e studen_t code as set by the judicial committee and the JU~ci~l committee can charge them if they go wrong. The same thmg is true of the student television in that the Administration will not allow the equipment to be used until a letter of intent is drawn up by those involved." HUSSEY· "Any media of communication or information whether it's student, private, or outside, must be free from censorship in any way, sh~pe or form. ~ow I know_ thi~ doesn't exist in many cases, but it should particularly exist in student publications ~ec~use they're ~e .ones. who are supposed to be challenging, finding out, and digging. A student paper is of no value whatsoever if it's not disturbing, finding out what's going on, finding out th~ reasons w~y, and unless it's reporting to it's readers what is gomg on. This means they should have the right •• they do have the right •• _to print anything they want. They're governed by the same laws m the provmce as anybody else •· libel, slander, and so on, al~o by the CUP Code of Ethics. If they violate that, then certainly they have to be charged. But up to those. violations they. have. th~ right to print any word or phrase or article they want. Then nght should not be curtailed." ■ • up to you Student housing moving. When you leave high school you can go into Arts or Scien<;e or.you can go into University Schools. They're specifically duectmg you towards a goal other than teaching, administration, or something like that. I think they have a definite purpose and I would hate to see them leave Lakehead University." HUSSEY • "I'd rather see them be developed into fuller programmes than to see them stuck into something like Confederation College. Mike says there's room for them. They provide another side of education which, if not as violent or ridiculous as the Engineers at Toronto recently, provide another portion of what people like in a community and in that respect they're a good thing to have. If this University is going to aevelop· into a multi-university, then it is essential that they are kept. If it's going to develop down the lines of a "freer education", then that form of education is more suited to Arts-type subjects. If that's the move then they're going to have to change quite a bit to fit in." Censorship of student newspapers by Administration BARK.WELL • "Censorship does exist in the student paper and in the television setup we have here, but it's not in the form of somebody coming down and previewing what goes in. It comes through the editors. The editors have to act within the bounds BARK.WELL • "I've given this quite a bit of thought. We have a $23,000 resource fund we can use for a housing project or a building fund. I was starting to investigate what kind of housing we could buy. But after the announcement of the residence expansion, I think it will in the immediate future look after the ~ousi~g ix:~hlem.. Next year we're going to have to be very mtensive m lookmg up student housing. Some are living now when~ they shouldn't be. They're living there because of the low rental. I think this year, although housing was a bit of a critical situation, it did work out all right. Next year we can maybe place some more students in Fort William and with the residences, I don't think there'll be much of a problem." HUSSEY • "Housing is a critical problem. I've had experience myself this year with three different kinds of housing: The Housing Bureau had growing pains this year. Next ye.µ it has to improve. Quality of the houses they lis~ must be changed. I don't think because residence is expanding that it's going to cover our needs at all. One of the problems wi-th Lakehead University is that it's not close enough. There isn't the feeling of closeness with it. The more residences we get, the more the feeling will grow. B.ut the AMS Council must look into the problem of housing with the view in mind of entering the Co-op housing field. Other universities hav.e found this type of program quite successful. And people don't usually choose to live in a low-rental house just because it's cheap. Usually they live there because they can't afford to go any higher. It's not a matter of choosing just to save money." Campus pub BARK.WELL • "I, don't think a campus pub, just as such, is what we're looking into. We're looking into a student centre which I think a pub should .b e co-ordinated with." HUSSEY • "A campus pub is. an excellent idea whatever form it takes. I don't think the students are after a campus centre incorporating a pub as much as they're after a pub. It's a good atmosphere to talk things over, to hash things out." Tuition fees HUSSEY • "It's a coming thing now, and it's obvious they should be abolished. I don't think there should be this economic requirement (pr admission. We're in a society now that can afford to send students to university free of charge. This is the only way we're going to get the free kind of education that is the only kind of education. That's the only way you're going to get enough cross section, enough argument, or enough new ideas, enough change, enough challenge into a university where it belongs." photo by Dl'ew BOYD HUSSEY BARK.WELL• "l think there are definite psychological aspects to this, in that a student feels if he has to work to earn the money then he feels that he has to get something out of it. Right now students are only paying 17% of the costs to go to university, which is not ,really very much. I think that if it were free that students would have one of their major strongholds taken away from them. The ,Department of University Affairs is starting to move into and exert more control on the university in the courses it teaches. This is one of our strongholds and if we get free tuit· tiQn the Department of University j\ffairs is going to make a definite move to control the university more than it's doing now."

If someone wants to come to university to play a sport then he will come anyway, and should come. This should be the motivation, rather than coming because of the free tuition." HUSSEY • "The university wants the publicity and glory of having athletic teams and this is the reason for. having them. If they want the teams then they're going to have to be willing to pay for them. Athletes are really under a greater burden than other students.

Rod Phillips Student apathy Complete HUSSEY - "I think wh~neve.r there is apathy there is always a cause for it. I don't think· people are naturally apathetic. I think Council this year has not informed students what has been going on often enough. They have not led. They have seldom even followed. They have not advertised their own meetings enough. They have not made available widely enough minutes, proceedings. This bas produced the attitude of well, who cares, they do what they want to. They plan dances. Council is doing more than that but they don't make it known. When students have grievances or problems, they somehow seem to get lost in committees or snow." BARKWELL - "I think Boyd has been basically very unfair to Council. Minutes are available to anyone who wants them. Anyone who wants to attend meetings is welcome to come. I think anyone that is interested can follow up through the Council. The committee system should be set up right from the start so it's functional. It was not as functional this year as it could have been in all aspects. You have to get people involved and working and then they're interested. It's a very hard thing to do to get people. They have grievances and they don't do anything about it. If you will follow through on their grievance, then they're willing to let you do this. I think the main thing is to get people involved and the committee system is the best way to do this."

Although the speake1·s were not as good as last year, their athletic accomplishments were just as prominent. This leads to a little note I made about local sports media reps. We have quite an array of athletes working for the local sports media. Pentti Lund was and still is a good hockey player.

Marie, Ontario over the weekend and twice they defeated them. The first game, played Saturday, was a 73-44 romp, while the Sunday encounter had the Nor'Westers winning by a 71-63 margin. It was a weekend for the Nor'Westers to show that they had more on the basketball team than Don Holmstron as Cambrian defensed the tall forward to a point of frustration, holding him to 13 points in each game, when his average for the season is bet.ter than 24 points per game. Roy Holman was the top scorer for the Nor'Westers in the first game, hooping 17 points, while Jim Johnston matched Holmstron's 13 points and Lloyd Koski threw in 11 of his own. -For the Caats, it was big John Fletcher with 23 points, followed by Tallack with 10. The second game of the series again found Don Holm- stron held down by the strong zone defense but again Roy Holman came through, this time with 15 points while Lou Pero followed with 14, Homstron 13, Rob Cameron and Jim Johnston with 8 each. Jim Fletcher of Cambrian proved to be the top scorer on both teams as he hooped 31 points in the second game while Tallack notched 11 and Sharp 10. The margin of victory for the Nor'Westers was at the foul line as the locals made 23 of 39 attempts while Cambrian were good on 15 of 37 attempts. The difference of 8 foul shots was the margin of victory for the Nor'Westers. Don Holmstron might have been held down on the .score sheet but was as effective on rebounds as he has been all season. He matched Lou Pero as each of them picked 14 rebounds in the first game. then was tops on both teams as he gathered in 20 rebounds in the second contest.

Marie Michigan by a 3 • 1 count. In the first game, Lake Superior scored first at the 6:39 mark of the first period, but Ken Kivisto tied the count at the 9:30 mark. Lake Superi6r then counted their second and third goals, before Murray Smith brought the margin to 3 - 2 at the )8:34 mark of the first period. Denis Laliberte counted the only goal of the second period on a pass from Richard Tapak, leaving the two teams deadlocked at the end of the second stanza. In the third period Lake Superior struck quickly fo1 two goals before five minutes were up, forcing the Nor'Westers to go completely on the o££ensive, a tactic which backfired as Lake Superior again scored two quick goals at the 15 and 17 minute mark of the third period for the final 7 - 3 mark. Kas PAPE:RRA(L) Miyata in the Nor'Wester goal had a busy evening as he was forced to make 46 saves, while Duffy Lewis in the Lake Superior State College goal made 35. In the second contest it was Kas Miyata night at the Port Arthur Arena as he completely stymied the Lake Superior sharp shooters until the 19:31 mark of the game, when a deflected shot bounced past hiin. The first period was all Nor'Wester as they outshot the visitors 21 - 11 and went into the second period with a 2 • 0 lead on goals by Dave Siciliano, and Richard Tapak. The second stanza was a reversal of fonn as the Lakers outshot the local collegians 22 - 7, but Miyata was up to the task and the second period was scoreless. The second period of the game also saw a rarity in hockey, the penalty shot, which came about when John Fallis fell on the puck in his own goal crease setting the stage for Miyata's most heroic save of the season. Jim Fuller skated in on Miyata from the centre line but Miyata played it perfectly, forcing Fuller to miss the net with his shot. The missed penalty shot was d efi ni tel y the turning point in the game, from then on the Nor'Westers gave their goal keeper more protection then he has had all season . The third period had Murray Smith scoring at the 6:35 mark with Dave Nuttall and Clare Battiston assisting, then Rick Comley scored the Laker's only count in the last minute of the game for the final 3 - I score. This weekend series a• gainst Lake Superior State College saw Lakehead University play its best hockey of the season. Everyone gave 100% in both games to prove that although their record does not indicate it they could be the best team in the league. The season will close next weekend for the Nor'Westers when they meet the St. Cloud Huskies at home Saturday and Sunday. The games they must win if they hope ro salvage second place in the league. Dr. George Merrill, on behalf of Dr. W. G. Tamblyn, presented the Tamblyn Trophy to Archie Orazietti, captain of the Lake Superior State College, the 1967-68 champions of the International Collegiate Hockey Association.

But there must members? be marks like degrees at points power.'' Dean of Arts, G: 0. Rothney, has been granted a sabbatical leave for the year 1968-69. President W. G. Tamblyn said Monday, "Dean Rothney has asked for a sabbatical leave and I have granted it subject to finding a suitable replacement". As to a possible successor, President Tamblyn said he was looking into it. The purpose of a sabbatical leave is to allow a professor to catch up with the latest developments in his field. In the case of a Dean, such a leave also "removes the temptation to breathe down the neck of their - successor during the first year of the new regime." (Duff-Berdahl Report) Dean Rothney said he had three offers to write books: one on the history of Newfoundland, another on the history of the Union Nationale Party in Quebec and a third, a textbook on International Affairs _in the in the 20th century. With possible reference to the recent Harding incident, Dr. Rothney commented, "I like reading mythology especially ' Dean G. O. Rothney when -it's well written." Dr. R-othney had nothing_ to say about a possible successor. Dr. Rothney was appointed Dean of Arts in 1963. He came to the Lakehead from St. John's Newfoundland, where he was Professor of History and the Head of the Department at Memorial University. Dr. Rothney was born in Richmond, Quebec. After graduatmg &om Sherbrooke High School he attended the University of Bishop's College, Len- Ski team wins Ontario championship Lakehead University successfully defended their Ontario Intercollegiate Athletic Association Ski Championship at the Levack Ski hills south of Sudbury in competition with nine other Colleges and Universities from the Province. Last season the one-two punch of Tom Morton and Mike Wren was all Lakehead needed as they wrapped up the cham- pionship with an 80 point margin over Northern College of Timmins. Again Lakehead University won, but this season by a 30 point margin over Northern with Osgoode Hall in third place and Confederation College of Fort William fourth. Lakehead University was never sure of victory until the final tabulations were complete. and 2,000 l,Jniversity of New Brunswick students in Fredericton are expected to join the mar.ch, • along with Moncton's affiliated College De Bathurst, and students from Mount Allison and other universities in the province. Asked about the possibility of sympathy strikes at other universities Richard said: "On a question like this solidarity among students would help a lot.'' But if it doesn't materialize he won't be disappointed: "We started this strike alone and we'll go through with it to the end,'' he said. He said the faculty have supported the students, and met with the ,Premier and the Minister of Education, Monday. Results of the meeting are not yet known. He said the students will organize study sessions Wednesday to consider the Govern- ment' s reaction to the brief presented Tuesday. They will hold a vote that afternoon, he said, when students will be able to decide if they wish to end the strike or if they wish to continue. But he pointed out this would be a student decision, not that of the student executive alone. He said students conducted peaceful demonstrations in Moncton Monday "to let the people of the city know we're still on strike--to make them aware that what is going on is serious business." University President Adelard Savoie last week said students who miss lectures Thursday or later will have to make them up in their spare time or they won't be allowed to write final exams. But Richard said the Student Union will negotiate with the University on this. He said it would be pointless to strike if In the first race, the Slalom, Lakehead University placed first, six points ahead of Trent University but the second race, the Giant Slalom, was a complete reversal for the Lakehead University five.

' Moncton students still on strike MONCTON (CUP)·· Canadian Union of Students President, Hugh Armstrong visited the strike-bound Moncton campus Friday (Feb. 16) and says he is impressed with what's happen• ing there. He was scheduled to accompany the Moncton Student Delegation to the Legislature in Fredericton Tues. (Feb. 20) when students are to present a brief to premier Louis Robfchaud, his Education and Finance Ministers, and the President of the Province's Commission on higher education, an advisory board to the Government. In a telephone interview Monday, Jean Richard, Chairman of the Moncton Student Council and New Brunswick Representative on the CUS Board of Directors said he expects about 300 Moncton students to accompany the delegation. Richard said between 1,500 noxville, Quebec, where his father was Professor of Education. ' He graduated in 1932 with the Lieutenant-Governor's Medal for the .highest student in the graduating year. He continued his studies at the University of London, England, where he received his M.A:, and his Ph.D. Both Degrees were taken in the field of "British Imperial History". He was awarded several post-graduate scholarships while he was at , London. In 1939 he was appointed to the staff of Bishop's CoUege School. In 1941 lie joined the staff of Sir George Williams College, Montreal. He was promoted to Assistant-Professor in 1934, Associate Professor in 1945, and Professor of History in 1948. In 1952, Dr. Rothney was appointed Professor of History at Memorial University of Newfoundland. Dr. Rothney organized the Provincial Archives within the University. It was taken over by Li1e province in 1959. He is the author of numerous publications in History. �Page 2 February 23, 1968 THE ARGUS unfair, unfair • So Grieve says "We need an editorial for this paper" as he playfully punches me in the shoulder whi 1st I'm enjoying a Bob Gude flu'ffy concrete-. pudding, thereby driving the spoon througn my cheek and into a nearby bulletin board.

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

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

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

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

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

Reference to this wodc which was passed hand to hand in the Ukraine, was made by Mr. John Kolasky of Toronto, a Canadian Communist who was studying at the Higher Party School of the Central Committee in Kiev, and who managed to get hold of the underground circulating petition. Mr. Kolasky, who joined the Canadian Communist Party 30 years ago and is still a member, says, that in essence the charges of illegality and of genocide ~e true. Mr. Kolasky says that he was collecting material on how the Soviets are trying to destroy the Ukrainian cWture and replace it with Russian. Kolasky says that the KGB held him for two weeks for questioning and confiscated all his papers when they caught him with the petition. Chomovil•s book, including the petition, although not yet available in Engli.sh has been published in Ukrainian and is significant for a numbe( of reasons.

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

Now another man's armed revolutio1i"is being fought for him. This time, though, the big man with the _heavy boots is wrong. He kills humans, backward inhabitants and his own young men, for a cause so remote yet so fabian in nature. He kills to build up an economy; he kills to keep America free. And in killing he draws the noose ever tighter on his trusting electorate's neck. People cry Red, and a thousand itard heels crush a . man's skull. People cry Freedom, and black men die. People cry Strike, and fat men sweat. And who is their god but a soft metal. "Look South, baby, and think" "Damn the establishment and the Administration" the wall said further on down the way. And in the middle of the void it said "Tune in, turn on -- take over". It's great, one student said, to scrawl all over the wall, but do you really believe who1ot in the intended fashion.

Channels (so-called) of communtor messages of great commercial ication have been established between students, faculty, and administration; all three concerns seat members on committees to discuss issues. But hierarchies seize these opportunities to better their own positions. When hierarchical structures become egocentric, so much so that any progressive action they will take will be mere tokenism, as far as the overall majority i concerned. Hence writing on the walls, a venting of frustratio and anger at narcissistic systems .

He also wrote a book that has found its way to the ,est, via underground channels. Reference to this wotk which 1as passed hand to hand in the Ukraine, was made by Mr. John .olasky of Toronto, a Canadian Communist who was studying at Je Higher Party School of the Central Committee in Kiev, and •ho managed to get hold of the underground circulating petition. .r. Kolasky, who joined the Canadian Communist Party 30 years go and i s still a member, says, that in essence the charges of legality and of genocide are true. Mr. Kolasky says that he was :>lleeting material on how the Soviets are trying to destroy the krainian culture and reyla~e it with Russian. Kolasky says 1at the KGB held him for two weeks for questioning and conseated all his papers when they caught him with the petition. Chomoyil•s book, including the petition, although not yet ,ailable ,in Engli,sh has been published in Ukrainian and is gnificant for a numbei: of reasons. First, it says that the !tition which Karavansky wrote is based on Leninist principles, e Soviet constitution, and Soviet law, all of which guarantee ,vereignty to the Soviet republics and rights to their nationali- Petryshyn ties.

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

We do. We also wonder at the logic behind this charge. Let us indulge in an exercise in nostalgia for a moment or three. Freshmen students will not be aware of this fact, (some seniors may not either) but last year there was no charge for course changes until about two or three weeks after the beginning of classes. Perhaps the exact number of weeks or days during which free changes were allowed is not exactly what is stated above. Nevertheless, the fact is that there was no charge for these second thoughts about certain subjects until a decent waiting period had passed. But this year? It is a fact that the ratio of out-of-town students to local students is significantly lower this year than in the past ~cademic year. The absence of a calendar may be charged for this. It is not the concern at the immediate time to sulk about the calendar. However, the ludicrous (and lucrative) decision to hit students for a second time when they have a change of heart, or perhaps even a realization meaningful to themselves as individuals insults us as individuals. And they actually charge this three dollars when they do not have a calendar to allow students to decide upon the best course to follow. What trauma students must go through when they approach that long grey desk to disclose the fact that they have made a mistake in the choosing of their courses. And then they have to cough up for a mistake that may or may not have been their fault in the first place. Sometimes we wonder. Science Congratulates Forestry(?) Don Colbome One of the curious idiosyncracies of Lakehead University is the type and quality of people here who fall before that great undergraduate freakout which might be called the student beaurocrat syndrome. Basically it is a manifestation of t!1e peculiarly high-school-like education offered here and it attacks a particular group of insecure power trippies who are so little aware of what a real university is that they actually believe the games they play are in some way meaningful. Symptoms of the onset of this affliction appear when a red-blooded Joe College begins, usually after about siX months here, to have bad dreams about graduating as just another sausage without an impressive history of "stuff" with • which to pad his resume. It doesn't take much to realize that L. U. is not doing much for him. These early symptoms include the affectation of suit (preferably cord), walk (busy-busy-busy), and card file of names (for dropping). He greets friend and foe with a smile which varies with social status of the smilee and if he is particularly clever he will force his name into public. The tactics of this game vary from graffitiing "I am a great lay'' on the ladies' room wall, to writing totally plagarized letters of comment and criticism to the school paper. Then comes that great democratic event when the most able and interested prevail upon themselves to guide the destiny of their institution - election time. Here the personality switch hits an acute stage as our schitzoid student goes hyper for a few days. He makes posters, speeches, friends, notes, pins, platforms, and platitudes. He talks hockey with the jocks, turns on with the heads, makes time with the chicks, nods at profs, and generally goes through the whole B.M.O.C. routine he has learned so well from old Hollywood horrors on the late show. He turns on the total feelie - wheelie bag. Then he gets elected . . . by a minority of a mass who don't know him, couldn't care less about the illustrious position he has so rapidly aspired to, and are unaware of the intense ego fabrication through which he has forced himself. Now the real power-trip begins. He starts mouthing bigger than life stuff like "Let's go to my office and call Toronto about it" or "No time for coffee ... I'm waiting for a call from the President." He becomes the very worst variety of beaurocrat - the student mechanic. Through a classical situationiste role identification he becomes an administrative automaton, talking in abstract about budgets and briefs, purchase orders and parking slips, office space and off-campus housing. He stops thinking about himself and what he should do. He loses touch. That's the diagnosis. It is also much of the reason why the student government at this university is so frightfully inept. However it is a problem peculiar to young universities, and we should be passing from that stage during the course of this year. Where all this leads, of course, is to tomorrow's election. Choose aware, sincere, dedicated candidates (there may be some) not any horn-rimmed glasses type with a big mouth and an insecure ego. by Don Bergman, Science President The "fungae finders" came through again. In this year'sfroshweek's activities, the ever-lively Foresters once again proved beyond doubt that they are the group to watch when it comes to participation in planned act iv it i e s. The woodsmen won the Volkswagen push to the Fort William Gardens from the University, Thursday night, in fine style. Time and again it seems that the smallest faculty proves that it has the most enthusiasm and spirit as they push ever onward for more. Lakehead firsts. Said Arts President Pentti Paularinne, "The race l~ft too early' but we still caught up". What he forgot to add was the fact that Arts drove down Memorial Avenue, instead of pushing their vehicle all the way to the Gardens. From the largest faculty the turn - out was almost neg 1i g i b 1e, although two Artsmen were seen during the race taking photographs. Science has expressed thanks to the Foresters for the rivalry they provided in the race. However future events will find more Science men chailenging the Foresters. Congratul~tions are in order to the "fungae finders" from Science. Maybe the red and white might find time to participate at some future date. ·letters to the editor Mao who has controlled and SUN NOT SET Dear Sir: I disagree with Mr. Szechung's opinion that Mao Tze Tung was "incapable of running such a big country as China''. ("The Sun is Set", Sept. 18/67, Vol. II, No. 1), Firstly, Mao, contrary to Mr. Sze-chung's subtle sugg e st ion s , was a great scholar. He was enrolled at Changsha Junior College (1911 ), completed six years of teacher's training college (Changsha, 1913 to 1918)and a year as librarian and dropin student at Peking University. He would often spend ten hours at a time reading, and habitually received 100% in his essays. He developed into a better-than-average poet of the classical type, and wrote many books on philosophy and hist_ory. Secondly, he was a great leader, in war as well as in peace. His guerrilla tactics have inspired the peoples of Vietnam. Cuba, and Korea to victory and partial victory against greater forces than themselve·s. He hims e 1f gained and controlled mainland China. Since 1947, he has developed China from a starving, weakling, demoralized nation to a .w orld power. All this, Mr. Szechung would argue, is the work of not only Mao but of those around him (notably Lui-Hsiao Chih and Chou En-Lai) and I would not dispute his supposition. But in my eyes, this makes him an even greater leader. For all great men must, by necessity, lean upon the work of those around them; and it is co-ordinated the work of these great men. If Mao is presently slipping from power, as he undoubtedly is, then we must view this not as the end of a weakling leader but as the downfall of a great man over whose bones•lesser men are now fighting.

He told me that his old man had some beer left over from the night before, so all the neighbours were up in his apartment looking for a drink." Bert Baumann, AMS Chief Justice, Lakehead's only delegate to the CUS Seminar on "Social Barrier to Higher Education•', held at u. of T. August 1.8-19 this year, made this comment in speaking about his "in-thefield" experiences. The Seminar was conducted on a twopart basis: delegates travelled to parts of Toronto to the two extremes on the afflu·ence scale, then returned to the University to discuss their experiences and observations. The ultimate end in view was to make delegates aware of the barriers to education posed by differences in social environment. And, according to Mr. Baumann, the seminar was a great success. Sharp Contrasts The first area visited by Bert was the Trefann Court section of Toronto. Under the Toronto Urban Renewal Scheme, this slum section will be replaced by new highrise, high...;revenue apartments. Already there are new blocks looking down on the area. But it seems that the business men cannot wait to move into this potentially lucrative area, with as little initial cost as possible. As a result the residents there cannot get replacement value for their homes. They can't even buy lots. Public Housing offers them no solution since the rent for these homes is prohibitive for employed persons. And the last thing that they want is to be unemployed. The CYC has a headquarters in Trefann Court. They have succeeded in banding the neighbourhood together to fight city hall's efforts to buy them out. For the first time in the history of the area, they have opened a p1ayground on a previously rocky lot. Their prime concern being the children, weekly auctions of clothing have been initiated to support the children and to let them lead a young life more closely approximating that of their middle-class counterparts. Also a scheme is presetltly in operation whereby neighbours fix each other's homes in a cooperative effort. 0 J was able to walk with the families there, talking about their jobs, transportation recreation and future", Bert stated. "I w;nt into the •Bridle Path area right after. It made me feel guilty even to walk in" he said. "The contrast between the chiidren was immediately apparent in talking to this class of youngsters."

NOTICE Interest Becomes Action Students attending the seminar, and in particular those from Waterloo, decided to concentrate on setting up their own schools to help the children in their areas. The second main area of concentrated effort will be directed towards those students who plan to go into teaching. It was decided that the traditional OCE goal of teaching people to teach must be reformed. Instead of turning out robots to feed the system, a concerted effort must be made to provide a freer atmosphere in schools, eliminating the need to con, and in the end seeing happier and more complete graduates. Mr. Baumann is probing the possibilities of setting up this sort of an educational environment at the Lakehead. From necessity it would probably be held, at first, in the evenings, on weekends, and during the~ summer months. For the enlightenment of Lakehead University students, Bert plans to show several of the films which were shown at the seminar on campus during the coming year. "I know I can make a definite contribution to the student body on campus as a result of this seminar", Mr. Baumann stated. Candidates to be in Hot Seat next Tuesday A political "open forum'' dealing with the coming Pro1ection will. be held vincial E at the University Centre Theatre next Tue·scray, October 3, at 8:00 p.m. All six candidates in the Port Arthur and Fort Wiliiam ridings have indicated they will be present to answer questions from the general public. • Sponsors of the event are t he Lakehead University Political Science Club and the Alma Mater Society.

What a pity it is tnat only one week in the whole school year i.s dedicated to the hazing of poor freshmen. On second thought, perhaps we're lucky that only one week in the whole school year is dedicated to the hazing of poor freshmen. How many times could your system take a Ski Club Social, or your pocketbook take a Chippewa Park Bash? Or just how many times do you think it would take before you tired of pushing stupid little Volkswagens half way to hell and back? (We know Arts didn't even make it the first time, but let's not take that into account right now.) Scavenger hunting is all right in its place, but when the second term rolls around many students will find themselves scavenging for the essentials of living (women, booze, food) and will cease to be amused by this pastime. Dances -- we care not to comment on this particular aspect of the past week. But Kangaroo Court? Although one of the chief prosecutors comes from New Zealand that is no reason to call this mockery of justice "Kangaroo Court". Since the Kiwi bird is said to be the only true native creature of New Zealand, and since the court was obviously "for the birds'', we feel that due consideration should be given to changing the name of this function. With the change in name, there should also come some reforms in procedure. We would like to point out to the tribunal that clothes, especially gowns, do not make the man. Instead they seem to ma~e the Foresters (at least the swacked ones) hostile. (Great show of couth on the part of those three goats with the ties). As one persecuted freshman put it, "Offenders called to the stand were not even told what heinous crime they had committed, so the punishment was in fact a gross miscarriage of justice.•• And as we seniors retort, "Yes, wasn't that beautifully planned?"

It's on everyone's tongue, but is all this helping Canada in any way? If I was to ask one student to name six of the bills presently before the House of Commons, I doubt if he (or she) would be able to name even two of them. It is not easy to become adequately familiar or informed, but the very survival of free, orderly government depends on the intelligent interest that people show in the conduct of public affairs. After the traumatic experiences of last week, the political forum will provide an interesting and enlightening change. Here you will have the opportunity to prove your loyalty and interest in Canada on Tuesday, October 3rd, by attending the Political Forum with candidates for the Port Arthur-Fort William election. They will be questioned by the editors of the ARGUS, the News Chronicle, and the FortWilliam Times Journal; but questions from the audience will be received for every question asked by the press. T u e s day evening will prove to be an interesting and informative evening for everyone in attendance at the University Centre. Wednesday September 20 was a day of torment. In thE midst of the wet, wet wilderness came voices crying "Lord, save our soles"! I The wilderness of the student parking lot is unequalle< on such a wet 'and drizzling day.

Thus the University spends up to $30,000 a year - five full time employees plus equipment and supplies in ensuring that the grass and trees and flowers are in tfp.;.top shape so that they can provide "the necessary adjuncts to the bare essentials". If student comfort is such a concern of the administration, why don't they pave the student parking lots, literally savin our soles. Perhaps they could rechannel their re ources from filling courtyards with paving stones (courtyards that one can get into but not out of) and building neat little horseshoe shaped driveways (in a lawn that took thousands of dollars to cultivate) to project that are indeed, "necessary adjuncts to the bare essentials". While the administration is in the process of shoulaering their responsibility, perhaps they could find out why room 1041 has an atmosphere more conducive to physical growth of potted tropical plants, than mental growth of eager students. Perhaps as well, they could be induced to do research on just how necessary 16th Century lab stools are to the comfortable continuance of our education. But in the meantime, let's all be sure to take a few leisurely strolls down the corridor of wing D and contemplate the wondrous beauty of the various cacti.

Oh I had envisioned a thousand college co-eds running helter-skelter happy up to meet me and disappointment Yet who but who came, arms outstretched with (yes) platonic offers of guided tours and free coffeesM Editor Grieve ( enthusiasm) and a flock of other Argi (needed insanity). Cold winds kept out by warmer than leather fellowship. Days slip by as hours and dreams. Satisfaction charged with the energy of almost creativity, of maybe construction. PAGE NINE it leaves you breathless looking back A cool autumn evening: Longing for warmth I struck a match to the wood. The flame caught, grew steadily brighter. As I felt the wonderful warmth Filling my body, My soul, I drew closer, And, Misjudging the fire's strength, Impatiently fanned the flames. As the light seemed to grow stronger I failed to see the flicker, And eagerly fanned Until I had smothered it. Cold, Distraught, Kicking sand on the remains, Seeking warmth in strength, I ran:... To a cold winter's night: My matches damp, The fuel lost. evening lovesong vagrant traces on the night air sadness come back of long kissed lips unseen but drifting in misty summer essence blended fire flame and fragrance twisting twined in myriad nightsong mist we feel, thought not as yet conceiving of the consequence, the living message presence in the evening air projected to our hearts and cling together straining to the songs of evening sadness.

You old stud, hid your Mateuse and never stop overflowing your own container. Talk on and laugh you do yourself a favour each time you speak, on to a marriage of more than just people. And promises, and shouts, and laughter oh, and second thoughts of reconsideration and goodbyes I rem~mber a thousand people commenting between their beers, deriding the Administration, the staff, the paper, the students ..... But all these words could only have been spoken in a hate born out of jealousy; Too much electricity, too many smiles, too much discussion and I'm humbled, At the end: looking at the infant university, amazed at its destiny (the feeling is strong) and yet I watch, outside. My road is too long planned, too hard worked for, and fought for, and cried over, and dreamed of, to relinquish just yet, And as I wave goodbye, I mirror your jealousy, my freedom for yours, I will return. G. Tuck Prostitution at L.U. Damnit, maybe we should take down our Lakehead University banner. Let'sputone up that says "Whore house". We're prostitutingourselves and the bureaucracy is the pimp. Students in this "university", if you prefer, are shopping in the academic flee market for satisfaction, for c o u r s e s biologically described as "bird", and "mickey mouse". Is this a hard course? What's snake anatomy 2b6 like? What did you get in it last year? Does he mark hard? These intellectually stimulating questions generally are answered (?) with some numerical abstraction such as "Well, (pause) I got 72, 67, 4. . . . " But can bureaucracy evaluate performance on a mark-type basis derived from pressure circumstances? How can bure- aucracy place a number on personal relevance? The system runs on gears and numbers and we, the students, prostitute ourselves to the system for X dollars of tuition, living expenses, anonymity and u 1t i m ate alienation. In turn the system cons us i n to perpetuating it through economic manipulation. It sells us its labelled buttons, jackets, and match book covers. In reality we are identifying with it, supporting it and perpetuating it. The wheel turns and we ask ourselves if we are getting our money's worth, if our fees are being properly administered and if our dances are showing a profit. Man, are we hooked! Or are we? Karl A. J.

Reps Backbone of Mustangs by Glenn Rajala It was pleasing to hear that Don "Andy A" Arnot and Gary Logozzo both played semi-pro ball in Saskatchewan this past summer. Both played in, and received jobs from the North Saskatchewan League. "Andy A" graduated from L. U. last spring With his B.A. He had previously played with Lakehead's basketball team as well as helping with the coaching at his old alma mater PACI. This year "Andy A'' is manager of the bookstore at the new Confederation College. He also plans to coach their basketball team hoping ~o get them into a league if possible. Don hopes t~ teach high school in the next few years while coaching on the side. Good luck, "Andy A". ******* Seems the L. U, Athletic Department is a little steamed up over my comment in the last ARGUS regarding their posting of the hockey schedule in local papers in August. They claim they put it in the paper the day after the Grade 13 exam results came out in order to attract hockey players to the University. That's a good idea but why wouldn't an article, telling of the places that the team would travel to suffice in attracting aspiring hockey players? The Weekend Magazine (Star) also ran a hockey story (September 2). They showed pictures of last year's all-star team and pictures of the individual trophy winners. I think they were also a li,ttle hasty in putting out a hockey story, especially last year s pictures (unless Chicago needed some morale boosting, since it was mostly pictures of their players). I don't recall their doing too many CFL stories and they are playing now while on September 2 no National Hockey League team had yet begun practising. Bill Shannon, coach. (l. lo r.)

No less than nine players from here are attending pro camps while at least twenty-three others are trying out for berths on minor pro teams. In another corner of the hockey world, John Ferguson, a Lakehead player of some repute, is trying to catch on with the Canadian Olympic B team. ****** * Fred Poulter, treasurer of the Science Society, hopes that the Athletic Department will come up with some better quality tennis balls in the near future. He says that the present ones are very soft, although they do have lots of fuzz. Fred also wants the department to stock up on plenty of fencing equipment in keen anticipation of the second year of fencing as an intramural sport. I hope they don't get stuck on that last hope of Fred' s. (l. to r. ) Don Smith, Graham Hall, George Keffer Students and faculty of L.

OTTAWA (CUP) -- Patrick Watson last week (Sept. 15) urged Carleton U. freshmen to revolt against the administration and faculty. Watson, who co-hosted the controversial "Seven Days" TV show with Laurier Lapierre, told 500first-year students to work through their students association to gain a bigger say in the administration of their university. "You can convert the next four years of drudgery into a social and intellectual adventure if you act now", he said. He said the university is a learning situation and not a training school. He attacked professors who lazily believe that to impart knowledge all they need to do is stand up in front of a class full of students and give the same lecture they gave last year. The time is gone when student government's major role was organizing dances and football games. "Now they are working for political reform within the university", he said. Cuties Caper Chinese Assoc.
