Boots VOLUME II, No. I LAKEHEAD UNIVERSITY, PORT ARTHUR, ONTARIO L.U. ANNEXES WATERFRONT September 18, 1967 Graduate Program Announced President W.G. Tamblyn announced recently that Lakehead University will now offer a program in graduate studies leading to a Master's degree in the following four disciplines: English, Physics, Psychology and Mathematics. Candidates have already been approved and the courses ratified by the Senate, so that the program will commence this semester. While commenting on this decision, the President said that it was "a significant step in the University's development." Dr. Tamblyn went on to say that the development of post-graduate studies was not a decision to be taken lightly. "Post-graduate studies are a natural development in our academic evolution," he said, "but, the Senate feels very strongly that no post-graduate programs should • be adopted until they are collectively certain that the graduates will have the necessary research facilities and qualified faculty to make their graduate degree studies equal to those given at any other university of our size and stature. The University has been making every effort during the past few years to add highly trained personnel in the various fields of study in the Arts and Sciences." Those honours graduates pursuing their Master's of Arts Degree will be required to write a thesis in addition to taking graduate The Mariaggi Hotel Three Lakehead businessmen announced to the Student Housing Bureau in mid-August their plans to renO\· ate the Mariaggi Hotel to provide accommodation for 120 students. The 92-room hotel, built in the 1890' s, has long been a landmark on the Port Arthur waterfront. Similarly, the large lounges on the main floor haYe seen the initiation of many a young lush. But all this will soon change. The upper floors will be repaired, remodelled, and converted to proYide dormitory type accommodation for 120 students. To make what will be called the Marina Inn completely a student's hotel, the lounges wil1 be closed until the projected opening date early in November to change the pub patrons to a much younger crowd. The ever-present problem of parking would appear to be relati,·ely light in this case. Wbile day parking will be a little tight, 120 parking spots within studies. Dr. G.O. Rothney, Dean of Arts, stated that the thesis will usually be based on original research, involving contribution of new knowledge. In the Social Sciences, the research is expected to be based on local problems in Northwestern Ontario. Each s tudent in both Arts and Science will be assigned an individual member of the teaching staff to supervise personally his research work. Dr. John Hart, Dean of Science, stated that "the Faculty of Science has an active research program, supported by substantial grants from the National Research Council and similar organizations. We have a highly qualified faculty, who are studying applied problems of importance to Northwestern Ontario as well as undertaking pure research of fundamental scientific interest." Commenting further on graduate students, Dr. Hart said that "the success of a graduate school in science depends on the professor, the facilities and the research problems to be solved. The presence of graduate students will provide an intellectual stimulus for the faculty and undergraduate alike. Good graduate students are stimulating, intelligent and challenging. They will not put up with second rate answers. They demand the best, both of themselves and of their professors." from both cities one block are empty at night. The new owners are also negotiating with the CNR in order provide more space.. Services to the resident students will make the Marina Inn as appealing to many as the Residence on campus. Plans include study rooms, laundry and pressing equipment with professional services optional. the accumulation of a library, bus service, and part time jobs for students . Rates for room or room and board are rumored to be very reasonable. The only serious drawback which could affect the operation of the Marina Inn is the late date of availability. However, the obvious benefits of living there will certainly make up for the inconveniences put up with in waiting for a room. Besides, being close to downtown Port Arthur, where else could you live where there is a pub downstairs instead of a living room? Bus Service Inaugurated Thanks to the work of the Administration; and to the cooperation of the two Lakehead cities, students will be able to reap full advantages of regular bus services this year. Both Port Arthur and Fort William have agreed to run buses of regular route schedules to andfrom the University. This should alleviate considerably the parking problem which was anticipated for the coming semester. Port Arthur will run a University Express bus, in addition to the routes described in their transit brochure. The Express will travel from St. Paul Street, through downtown Port Arthur, to the University and back again. The bus will leave the St. Paul Street terminal at 7: 45 a.m., 8: 45 a.m., and 9:45 a.m., arriving at the University about ten minutes later. In addition to the University Express, the regular Housing as acute as expected Looking for a place to stay in the Lakehead? Should you answer in the affirmative you are probably already aware of your plight. The Lakehead University Student Housing Bureau has come to the aid of many homeless souls and will continue to do so until the middle of Septemt>er. They have listings of aYailable accommodation in both cities. The accommodation varies from the single room or room and board variety to apartments, small houses, and motel suites. Apartments are an extremely rare item and many students may have to accept single rooms. Students arriving from Southern Ontario will find that the choice of accommodation is smaller than in other parts of the province. Unlike Soothern Ontario, the Lakehead has few apartment blocks and town house developments and virtually no high rise apartment buildings. Although the Lakehead is a sufficient size to warrant such projects it would TWELVE PAGES appear that urban development is still in its early stages. Housing Bureau Director Tom Goodman has found yet another handicap to hamper _h is work. It seems that several other institutions in the Lakehead also have out-of-town students to accommodate. People attending Lakehead Teacher's College, the Adult Education Centre, Confederation College, and the Rehabilitation Centre are looking for rooms and beds, often procuring acc~mmodation which the University had listed. The avoidable embarassment to both potential tenants and to landlords in these cases is unfortunate . But the Housing Bureau on campus, being an office of the Administration, cannot accommodate students of these other institutes at the expense of University students. With this fact in mind, one can more easily sympathize with Mr. Goodman and his active and busy staff. Oliver Road bus will make a trip to the campus at 7: 15 a.m. Return trips to downtown Port Arthur via the Express are scheduled for 4:13 p.m., and 5: 13 p.m. The regular Oliver Road bus will also pick up students at the University at 6:30 p.m. and 9:00 p.m. The cost for the bus service will be the regular adult fare, which works out to fourteen cents per ticket, or seven tickets for one dollar. Students will be able to travel anywhere in the city of Port Arthur for this fare. Transferring from a regular bus to the University Express will be at no extra cost. The transit service from Fort William, beginning for the first time this fall, has taken some months of negotiations to work out. The bus will arrive at the University at 7:50 a.m., 8:50 a.m., 9:50 a.m., and 7:15 p.m. The route that the bus will follow originates from the Walsh and Franklin Streets terminal. The bus will travel directly to the University along Edward Street. It will return to Fort William via Edward Street andwill travel through the city in a route servicing Westfort along Amelia Street, Brock Street and Sprague Street as far north as Walsh. From Walsh it will proceed north on Franklin to Victoria, west to Edward, and then back to the University. Buses will depart from the campus at 4:15 p.m., 5:10 p.m. 6: 15 p.m., and 9:00 p.m. The Fort William bus rates are slightly different from those on the Port Arthur buses, owing to the greater distance to be travelled. Students who take buses from Fort William to the University will be charged a double fare, half to be paid 1 on boarding the bus, the other half or the second ticket, upon getting off the bus at the University. This rate is only effective during the hours from 7 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. For trips after 6:30 p.m. the rate will be higher than previously noted, or 14 2/3 cents times two to go to and to come from the University. A round trip after 6:30 p.m. will cost a total of 58.6 cents. In Fort William, transfers along Edward Street are being set up by the transit commission. There will be no extra cost for transferring. It is hoped that the University bus service will tie in with the regular city service in cx:der to facilitate travelling to, and from the campus. The bus schedules in both Port Arthur and in Fort William commence today. September 18. Port Arthur begins full service today, while the Fort William buses are on a partial schedule. They arrive at the University at , 8:50 a.m. and 9:50 a.m. and 1 leave the campus at 4: 10 p.m. c/ and 5: 10 p.m. today. Tomorrow they will be on their full schedule. Buttons are necessary for admittance to all activities during Orientation Week -- �Page 2 THE ARGUS September 18, 1967 Hippies-- the unloved lovers _ - Love was the word this summer. love and flower power. Hippyism, which until this spring was a small cult confined to the Haight-Ashbury district of San Francisco and the Greenwich Village area of New York , has spread with astonishing rapidity across The States and Canada. The long-haired, rather dirty bangled and beaded, psychedelic hippy preaching the philosophy of love, peace and joy, has become one of the major news stories of the year, with every reputable magazine, and quite a few unreputable ones, giving this new breed extensive coverage. Toronto's establishment Globe and Mail has covered every love-in, paint-in, demonstration and protest held by the Yorkville hippies over the summer. Both Ottawa papers covered the hippy versus The Mall merchants fight in great detail. Maclean' s supported the use of hippies in the Company of Young Canadians in Victoria and elsewhere. And most ridiculous of all, a Look reporter was interviewed by a confession magazine while he was living in Haight-Ashbury, researching a story. But hippies are more than good summer copy. They are an important manifestation of the growing dislike ana' distrust of today's society by the young, the so-called "majority generation.'' The desire to ''tune m and drop out" and get •away from the pres.sures of school, home and materialism is understandable when one considers that a nice home, two cars, three televisions and a college education are what are considered success in this life. And the hip philosophy is one which appeals to the young, first because basically it caters to the self, and secondly because in its purest form it can appeal to the ideals of the young in a way the big-business syndrome never can. Hippies believe in loving .. . oneself, one's neighbour, the fuzz, the mayor who is trying to get rid of one, anyone and everyone. They do not want to own the world, they want to be allowed to live the way they want. They hold a belief which is a mixture of Christianity at its most primitive, Buddhism, Communism. The Diggers, an organization run by active hippies , provides food, clothing and money for their less resourceful bretheren. Many of these work part time, often with the post office so they can survive and so they can buy the drugs which are a necessary part of the whole hippy set-up. But work is not the be-all and end-all of their existence. To quote a San Francisco cab driver "The hippies are more honest with themselves than anyone else is. Most people spend all their time workin'gand then enjoy life only as a sideline. With the hippies, life comes first, and work is the side line." But to parents, municipal government authorities, and "straight" people the whole business seems ridiculous, a waste of time and a nuisance. They feel the flower people' are irresponsible, dirty and dangerous. They threaten all the things held most dear by the elders and ''betters'', and they use drugs.

Although the attendance was not as f.reat as was expected, the ideas ex• pressed by Dr. Ho ward Adams , Ralph Bruyers, Duke Redbird, and Harold Cardinal made the audience think very hard about the Indian's plight. "Canadians are hypocrites•: s tated Dr. Howard Adams. The reservation system was inaugurated when the Indian was of no further use to the white con• querors. And then starvation policies were used, along with armed force, to make the Indians move into these compounds. In actuality, "reserve system" is simply a nice term for apartheid. The Indians were forced onto reserves where they were ruled absolutely by the government. They were treated as wards, children, or worse, "We were supposed to die off, but we sure fooled them", said Dr. Adams. Once the reserve system was established, steps were taken to make sure that the Indians could never resurge as in the days of Riel. The buffalo had been completely destroyed so that the Indians were dependent on the state for support. Here was a tool in the form of a wel• fare cheque that has been used many times to exploit the Indian. Many Indian customs were stepped on to facilitate control of the savages by the civilized whites, while other customs, such as the election of chief and council. were fostered, and for the same reason that the others were disallowed. All the govern• ment 'really wanted from the In· dian was his land. It would have been easier for all if the New· foundland massacres have been followed up in other parts of the country, eliminating completely all Indians and the wealth of culture that they represent. A GREAT RESPONSIBILITY In the words of Duke Red· bird, ''We (the Indian youth) have a great responsibility to white Canada .. The tree of Canadian culture must be planted in Indian cultural soil, for we have a great contribution to make to Canada and to the changing te· chnological world." Th~s sta.te· ment, he said, would never have come from an Indian youth even fifteen years ago. This tremend· ous development towards exam· ining the society which they live in is the chief characteristic of Indian youth today. Us ing McLuhan's terminology Mr. Redbird went on to show the irony in the situation in Canada today. The society the Indian lived in (and s till wants to live in) was a consumer oriented society. Then nature and the Indian's whol e economy was replaced by a welfare cheque, making the Indian a liability to the governme nt. Now we see the government trying to develop a society with the benefits taken away from the Indians . With this return to tribal cul• ture- comes in fact a return to the Indian way of life of years past. The Indian youth has a difficult role to fulfill. "With the development of a cultural mozaic, we must compliment each other while remaining the same . We must retain Indianness while living in society" . Indians have much to offer in the way of heritage and social background. One of the considerations therefore must be the education of the children if they are to contribute to Can• adian culture , Dr. Adams ex• plained that the reserve system, from which the children come, is not white, urban, and middle class as are the schools into which they :tre placed. They cannot relate in this new environment and culture , the "buck• skin curtain"' is so heavy. According to school texts, the Indian is still in the aboriginal state, stereotyped as the sav• age. The present educational system is meaningkss to Indians since it is so obviously alienated to their way of life. "It is a hardship to succeed in someone else's system•• said ·Dr. Adams. LIVE is only a subtle form of genocide, and it must stop", stated Mr. Cardinal. The red tape· atfac·bed to Indian affairs makes his every move a labour. Reservations are like concentration camps . The people who are so-called friends of Indians ex• ploit them at every turn. But the Indian will not put up with this for any longer. There is at present a move towards action. "Too long we have been subjected to the government's thumb. We want to be the mas ters of our own destiny. We want to walk with pride beside any young Canadian. This we shall achieve ." No wonder the Indians are bitter. The Indian Affairs Department works from an Act draugbted between the govern• ment and the Indians without the knowledge of · the Indians. "The views of ·the people are essential to the people's government'", asserted Ralph Bruyers, "But in the case of the Indians, the communications are one•way, in practise. There must be a concerted effort on both sides to throw aside the 'buckskin curtain' ". White society is disturbed, and rightly so, by the re ali zation of the s e great problems. But what do the officials who could improve the situation do but refuse to acknowledge the existence of the problems . In North Saskatc hewan, the or• iginal separatist movement in Canada originated. At present, there are two tribes of Indians near a white community. F ighting often occ urs between these two tribes, s o successful have been the pol itical moves to di• vert racis m to inter- tribal bickering. But the diss atisfact• ion is such that fighting may soon tum into a fuU-sc ale re• ssutection of the Riel catastrophes. "CANNOT SUFFER FOR NOTHING" The battle between Indian and white, now mainly one of legal procedures and wits, is very bitter in more places than Saskatchewan. The so-called champions of Indian affairs now refuse to give the Indians control of their own lives. Indians have forc es working on them all of the ir lives, brainwashing them into the stereotype "noble savage" that they are supposed to be - s hy, humbl e, accepting. "The church was the greatest tool of the bureaucracy for this purpose", Dr. Adams stated. For the control of their own lives , the Indians have made an attempt. Red power, or the right to live unstifled, to direct their own affairs, co become integral parts of Canadian culture, is their goal. Dr. Adams stresses the necessity •of governmental aid, to begin with, in the form of light industry on reservation areas . This would make Indians self s ufficient, so that they could provide adequately for their families, pay taxes like the rest of the citizens of Canada, and become for the second time in their history true Canadians. Then the whole educational system must be re-vamped to suit their culture just as the present one suits the white culture. Then and only then can the Indian again stand on his own feet. "We are a suspicious race. We can not suffer for nothin .... ON SOCIETY'S CRUMBS In speaking of the difficulties encountered in the educational system, light is shed upon the entire outdated bureaucratic control of Indians. In many cases integrated schools are shunn· ed because the Indian culture is so foreign to the subject matter taught. But that is not all, Indians do not even have the constitutional right to sit on school boards, even if the majority of students in the school are Indian. "It"s too bad the press has not turned the same amount of attention to the Department of Indian Affairs as it has to the CYC", said Harold Cardinal. "No man can accept the fate of being imprisoned to accepting the · crumbs of society. He must be self sufficient." Indians can· not be changed as can paintings, nor can they be molded into another image against their wills. The past has shown this. Why then are we deluding our• selves by upholding the ob• solete Indian Act? The Indian seeks not academic analysis of his problem but material work to better his situation. Statistically the government spends more money on public welfare than on Indian affairs, said Mr. Cardinal. At the same time as their expenditures in• crease, Indians become .poorer. The money spent has little effect, though. There is one civil servant for every one and onehalf Indian families. And the government's solution to this problem is to create larger staffs.

It's about time that this community woke up and realized that we have racial discrimination in quantity right here in Port Arthur and Fort William. You may well ask: "If there is discrimination here, why aren't there any race riots?" My friend, discrimination takes many shapes and forms. It need not culminate in a race riot in order to qualify under the heading of "discrimination". It has been our experience to discover that many of our own fellow students are not able to find accomodation in the Lakehead, due to the colour of their skin, or their religious affiliation. Discrimination, as such is not based only upon a person's race, creed or colour. Ther~ are so many instances where people have been denied their basic human rights for reasons ranging from their family hackground to the model and year of car they drive. As an example, let us take into view for a few moments the position of the " hippie". Here is a person who, for the sake of his beliefs, (be they love, or anything else) is declared a "misfit". One citizen of the Lakehead recently expressed the view over a local radio station that these hippies should be put into jail. What type of nonsensical logic is this? Does any ~:me person have the right to judge a mass of people as large as is encountered when speaking in general terms such as "hippie"? In this one case, there appears to be widespread ignorance of what the hippie really is. We do not pretend fully to understand them yet. Perhaps we never shall. However, we do believe that without some measure of understanding, we are, in a sense, trying to pilot our ship with a broken rudder, through a narrow and treacherous channel. It is a great mistake, on the other hand, to stop discrimination just to save ourselves from the discomforts of mass revolt. This defeats the purpose of practising humanitarianism. We must be sure in our own minds that what we are doing is not done to save ourselves from the rebelling factions, but is done because we have firm conviction and belief in brotherhood amongst all men. In this way, and in this way only, can we achieve true and honest equality. It is possible that what Canada, as a whole, really needs at this stage is a full scale anti-discrimination drive to bring the issue closer to home. This may take any form, be it riot amongst our Indian citizens, or a race war in the Negro ghettos of Halifax. In any case, this still appears to be the only way that will prove to Canadians that this problem exists here, and that it's not happening south of the border alone • it's starting to happen everywhere. At this point, there appears to be no real alternative that can work and work fast enough. Unfortunately for Canadians, there has not been enough outcry for "action committees" that, had they been operating for ,some time now, could have possibly come forth with some workable solutions. However, leave us not speak in the gray area of "ifs", for they cannot help us now.

The student housing problem is not simply a repeat of previous year's complaints of lack of a few beds. It's panic because students are simply not able to find a bed at all. Worst hit are those studying in Montreal. McGill, with just over 1,300 residence beds, has more than 4,000 out-of-town students; the University of Montreal is in the same situation, and Sir George Williams, with about 2,000 out-of-town students, has no residences at all. And EXPO is taking up all outside housing until thP fair ends in October. To a lesser degree the same problem exists all over the country. With the influx of students into university in recent years most of the money has been devoted to the development of academic facilities and hiring staff, and little has been channelled into student housing. The result? Simon Fraser University moved in ten trailers to house students. "The trailers will be removed as soon as we acquire the financial resources to build additional accomodation". said SFU President Pat rick Mc Taggart-Cowan. University of Waterloo is short 500 beds, and is sending its students into Kitchener, miles from the campus, to scrounge space. The University of Guelph, with an enrolment of 4,300, has 1,300 residence spaces. The 3,000 students who are left out must "go into town" and fend for themselve~. Again, the Umversity at Saskatoon, with 7,000 out-of-town students, hasonly600 residence spaces. To make m_at!ers w~:>rs~ a recent survey showed that only .4 percent of the hvmg umts m Saskatoon are unoccupied, and thus available to students. The same theme repeats itself at other campuses across the country, with very few exceptions. Also, officials at some universities are trying to set rules for off-campus living accomodations in an effort to guarantee the good conduct of students living in local citizen's homes. . . The situation is acute enough to prompt the Assoc1at1on of Universities and Colleges of Canada (AUCC) to initiate a study of student housing right across the country. Financ_ed by the Central Mortgage and Housing Corporation, the stud)'. 1s to co!l• sider all aspects of the housing question ... psychological, phys10logical and social effects on students.

Perhaps because the tree is one of the greatest gifts of a Creator ever-mindful of the welfare of mankind. It conserves the soil, protects it, and adds to its fertility. It tempers the cold of winter, the heat of summer. It lessens the violence of the gale. It helps man to build shelters, to furnish them, and to give them warmth. It provides clothing for his body, medicines to cure his ills and ease his pains. From the tree comes pigments that please the eye and win the artist a livelihood. There could be no symphony orchestra without the tree . Through paper, to which men commit thought, knowledge is shared and the mind enriched. Except for lichens, mosses and ferns, the tree is the o~dest plant on earth. One of the first to appear was the conifer. It may have evolved in Canada because it was here, to the north of Lake Superior and in the Laurentian Mountains of Qu~bec,. that some of the earliest rocks and sohd soil were thrust above the shallow seas and soggy bogs that formed most of the earth's shape. The tree was the first plant to develop a stem that would not wither and die each year as did those of its predecessors and companions, the club mosses. It struggled into being duringthe carboniferous period some 200 million years ago. It is fitting that the leaf of a tree should be the national symbol of Canada. Whether or not the most appropriate species was selected may be open to argument, but that we should have chosen a tree ·is not. For the stout stem of the tree supports not only its burden of billowing boughs, but also much of the weight of the Canadian economy. Upon our forests, more than any other single factor, depend our financial health at home and the extent of our foreign trade. One out of every three dollars we earn abroad flows from the harvest of the forest. All Canadians: whatever their job or location, share this wealth. The tree is one of the Magi of man's universe. Its gifts are many, its favours manifold. It has always been so, and if man, its trustee, is faithful to his obligations, it will continue to be so. Where the tree dwells, man has a chance to live a bountiful, happy life. Where there are no trees, life is as barren as the landscape. Give thanksfor the tree and in giving thanks grant it the mercy of protection. �Page 6 THE ARGUS anti anti-calendar Evaluation Fails to Evaluate September 18, 1967 Full Time Finance From a humble beginning, the University branch of the Bank of Montreal has grown to be of any use.

The plan to produce such a guide on the Lakehead campus was initiated at the end of the last academic year by then Argus editor Don Colbome. He designed a questionnaire v.:hich was mailed to all students. The responses were collated by J eannetty Gall .whom the AMS appointed as Course Guide editor. Well and good. I accept that much time and effort has been expended in preparing this publication and that it was prepared with the best of intentions. Here I intend not to deal with the intentions or to discuss the merits or otherwise of course eva:luation; but I do intend to examine the ''Course Guide'' as it is published. Quite ineffective A publication as controversial and important as a course guide deserves extraordinary care in preparation. It is obvious that in the case of Lakehead's guide this care has not been taken. The finished result is sloppy, carelessly researched, and, in , its present fonn, quite ineffective. A few statistics may illustrate these points: Last year's Calendar listed over 300 courses; the "Course Guide" deals with only 158 courses. What happened to the rest? Of the 158 courses dealt with, the breakdown is: Insufficient response 71 No Response 52 No comment at all 7 Evaluated 28 .., Total 158 One can see, therefore, that the "Guide" evaluates less than 10% of courses offered . . Some departments, notably English, Anthropology, History, Economics, and Geography are not included at all in the "Course Guide". An editor's note mentions that "~e hope" to publish another edition of the "Guide" to include these. Under present circumstances, I hope not. i· -The "Course Guide" contains a total of 45 pages, including the difficult-to-describe cover. Of these 45 pages, only 15 are devoted .to course evaluation. •The first run of 500 copies is expected to be followed by a second run of 1,000 copies. This will involve a total cost of about $675. And a supplemental edition, too? I· I Few courses evaluated These points go some way to demonstrate the ineffectiveness of the publication .. .it simply does not evaluate enough courses Course in Local Government Planned Aspirants for municipal off. ice at any level, incumbent members of elected bodies, those interested in learning the structure of civic government, university and high school stu( dents .. are invited to take a six-week course, one evening a week beginning early in Octber at Lakehead University. r Sponsors of the course are the Ontario Conference on Local Government, Lakehead University and the Lakehead Chamber of Commerce. Consult the main notice boards, opposite the Information Booth for times of all happenings. The chairman of the Conference on Local Government, J.T.A. Wilson of Toronto, commented the course had been held successfully in Peterborough and Brantford and more Ontario communities were adopting the project. The main objectives behind the program were: : To interest the citizenship generally in municipal affairs by increasing their general knowledge in this area; : To provide knowledge to those who would serve on public bodies, either elected or appointed; : To encourage prospective high calibre candidates to serve in their municipal governments in one form or another. Mr. Wilson was pleased to announce that the Peterborough Trades and Latour made it a general principle that it would not support a candidate for civic office unless he or she had taken the course. President of Lakehead University, Dr. W.G. Tamblyn voiced his complete support of the six-week conference study to give people the opportunity to learn more about the concepts of government at the local level. Dr. C.M. Johnston, Lakehead Chamber of Commerce president, said the Chamber was pleased to be associated with sponsor~ip of the course. He stressed the course was be- ing offered to anyone in all walks of life . . not just for business and professional people.

And there is a purpose behind this little piece of desegregation. Tomorrow, at high noon, (or twelve semicolon zero zero if you prefer) the most important meeting of this entire first week will take place. You may think that the different faculty assemblies were important. That is where you are mistaken. The faculties could manage, and probably quite well, without those meetings. But the organization this meeting at noon tomorrow concerns (the organization most often called Lakehead University's most important society) cannot, and I stress, cannot function in the corning year without the support and help of the entire student body, and that means YOU.· Of course the organization which I am referring to is the ARGUS, student newspaper of your university, full member in Canadian University Press, and the ship that only your support will keep from sinking (great mixed metaphor or something).

Take the appropriate steps to make sure that you are not one of those left sitting forlornly on the steps of the University Centre only listening to the Gettysberg Address . the address Good morning. It is my privilege to be able to address you for a few minutes this morning. You know, I make this address to firstyear students every year, but my heart never fails to swell with pride as I look over the mass of eager, ignorant and anonymous faces, and I never fail to feel proud that so many students care to fill our coffers with their hardly-earned dollars. And your presence will enhance rny .. .. your ... . university, and we shall get more research grants which will give us a good name, and more and more dollar~ from the surrounding community and local mdustries which are so close to our pockets .. . hearts. You know, this is our university; it is as much yours as mine - well, nearly as much, anyway. Because here we are one big happy family, no matter whether we are administration, faculty, or . .. or ... ah ... students. But as you know, every family .. well, nearly every family, anyway .. has a father, and you should look upon me as a father; and every family has a mother . . and that is the registrar and the director of finance and the director of admissions and the comptroller and . .. well, you know, all those people; and ... where was I? Ah, yes... every family has big brothers and sisters to look after the little ones, and these .. the big brothers and sisters, that is .. are the faculty; and you ... well, you are the babies of the family. But you shouldn't think that we think that you are inferior. Oh no. Because we are all babies at one time or another, aren't we? .. well, most ofus, anyway. Now, I want to say a word or two .. well, quite a few words actually • about why you have come to university. This may seem strange, because no doubt you think you know why you are here. But father does know best, doesn't he? Where was I? Ah yes ... why you're here. Well, of course , it's obvious that you're here to get a degree. Some of you may get educated in the process, but that can't be helped; a few of you always slip through. But as I ~a;; : going to say about degrees .. what a difference those letters B.A. or B.S. mean after your name! Do you realize .. I'm sure you all do .. that those two little letters can mean a difference of thousands of dollars after you graduate? My word, yes! Of course, while you're here, you may hear a lot of talk about a "community of scholars" and a "search for knowledge and truth" .. but a word of warning. Look at the people who talk about these things. Nearly always they have long hair and beards and buttons about Vietnam and they're the sort of people .who are always demonstrating and if they don't have long hair and placards, why, then it's obvious that they are pretending to be what they are not and we aren't stupid enough to be fooled by them, are we? Of course we are. Besides, these people probably couldn't define "knowledge" and "truth" if you asked them. And besides, things such as knowledge and truth are alien to our society and are for misfits to talk about aren't they? Of course they are. Which brings me to the next point I want to make .. and it's a rather important point, too. We must at all costs keep good relations with the surrounding community. Some stu-• dents .. and I must stress that they are a ra• ther silly minority .. don't seem to realize how much we rely on the community for our very existence. Where would our building programme be without outside support? And our student housing? And the transportation situation? Yes, we have much for which to be thankful. So we must be very careful and be on our best behaviour when we are on display, and that is all the time. Well, I'll say no more about that now. Probably later in the year. Oops! I'll have to cut my address shortly because I have a meeting with the Board of Govemcrs in a few minutes, and I can't waste my time talking to you stupid frosh, can I? But what a pity we can't continue this discussion, because it's so interesting, and besides this exchange of ideas is so valuable, isn't it? It's what our wonderful democracy is based on, really, isn't it? Of course it is. Well, now I've really got to run. It wouldn't do to get fired, would it? Of course it wouldn't Especially not at this crucial and si~nific_ant stage in the development of our university. Goodness me, no.

College editors, the new leftists, the hippies, and if NEWSWEEK magazine is to be believed, even the ranks of the middle class 'are _sounding the call to legalize a movement which shows -all signs of becoming at least as widespread as did drinking during the prohibition years. There is sound .argument for legalization. One of the best cases for pot is a comparison with alcohol in terms of their effect on health,· the degree of addiction, the effect on the individual's ability· to control his body and mind while under their influence, and finally their social repercussions. Same high as alcohol Pot produces about the same kind of 'high' as alcohol. Both would equally affect a person's ability to drive a car, for instance. Pot also increases the the appetite . But smoking pot does not produce the discomfort one feels after drinking large quantities of beer. And there is· no pot equivalent to alcohol's cirrhosis of the liver. which causes over 2,000 deaths yearly in Canada, and ten times that number in the United States. Death attributed directly to pot are almost unknown.And another big plus in marijuana's favor is that there is no retching from overindulgence in pot as in the case with alcohol, and pot users experience no hangover the day after. Marijuana is non-addicting, the experts point out. Contrast this to the condition of alcoholics who are tied to their booze for life, and who the Alcoholics Anonymous organization reports are 75% incurable. By D. John Lynn Canadian University Pot advocates point out the marijuana is that such a move difference in effect on the mind would be impolitic for the polibetween pot and alcohol.

Misconceptions Socially, our society has less to fear, from pot than from alcohol. Pot, which fi!ncourages great introspection on the part of the user, does not encourage him to act out his emotions in public - the spectacle of the party drunk dancing around with a lamp shade on his head would not be a feature of the pot party. Nor do pot users tend to acts of bravadocio as do alcohol. drunks. Crimes of violence, rapes, fistfights in bars, argumentativeness, and such like drunken behaviour are also not the pattern with marijuana users. In order for a politician to advocate its legalization, he must first assure- and convince each of his voters that marijuana is indeed not a narcotic as is heroin and the others. This in itself would be a large chore, because it is not simply a case of stating the facts of the case rationally; it is a matter of breaking down the deep-rooted prejudices of a people who hav.e been led to believe that a pothead is just one step from being a dope addict with the archetypal monkey on his back. There is no sane politician on the face of this earth who would advoadvocate giving the nation's youth such a dangerous toy.

Lectures for Psych First year Psychology students this year will be part of an experiment at Lakehead University. Educational television will be used, along with tutorials,- to teach the introductory Psych course to an estimated six hundred students. PatWesley, lecturer in Psychology, will be the main "actor" in the new series, being recorded on campus in the newest and mostmodern television recording studio in Northwestern Ontario. Included in what Mr. Wesley describes as "the whole Psychology department;s effort" will be other faculty members lecturing on areas of specific study of each member, as well as outside people from whom the students can greatly benefit. "The aim kept in mind during the setting-up period of this televised method of lecturing is good teaching," said Mr. Wes• ley. "I think that we can achieve good teaching with this unwieldy number of students by intelligent and careful use of television." Coupled with the televised lectures will be regular tutorials, in which the students are divided into a number of primary groups for discussion of a problem, stated at the end of the lecture, pertaining to the lecture. In this way there will be no loss of the personal contact so necessary to successful educational experiences. The advantage of television teaching has been proven in the past by the marks of the students subjected to this method. While marks in many cases have remained static, there have been many cases of widespread improvement of marks, while in no caseshave the ll@ri<.s on the whole gone down. Television teaching is a more efficient method o( diseminating information, since the lecturer can cover more in the given time period. This is due to the necessity of better organization of material to be presented. The lecturer must thmk and plan more carefully. His presentation is also better without the stress of the classroom." In our case, we have adopted television teaching for its efficiency," said Mr. Wesley. The added possibilities with this method of instruction are great. It will now be possible, with the aid of the television camera to take a class of first year students into a clinical interview room, without disturbing the interview, or to present complex and delicate experiments which would otherwise• be impossible to set up in the ,classroom. At JXesent, the five Psych Ia6 classes will view their lectures in the Library building. The permanent installation of viewing sets will be in Wing D South, in rooms on the north corridor of the main building, and in one room opposite the Registrar's office. "We're only waiting for the equipment now,"Mr. Wesley said. TWO STORES TO SERVE YOU Centennial Square 18 S.

Both one act plays run one hour each and contrast in theme as well as in language. The Centennial Players are made up of 24 actors and six stage attendants, all Canadian University students. Our students will be looking after billets for them. They will have preyiously put on these plays at the Youth Pavilion at Expo September 11th to 14th inclusively. The Centennial Players company is sponsored by the Centennial Commission, Over 300 students were auditioned in 30 universities from coast to coast. The final auditions were made by Mr. Pierre Lefevre Director of l'Ecole due Centre Dramatique de l'Est in Strasbourg. France, who has come to Canada to direct the company here. The student players will tour more than 20 Canadian universities beginning at the University of British Columbia, September 16th and ending at Memorial University on October 15. On Monday, October 9th the famous French company "Theatre du Nouveau Monde" will present Moliere's "Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme". This is one of the top drama companies in Canada. The tour is sponsored by the "Festival Canada" organization, the same group who sponsored Les Feux Follets, the Armed Forces Tattoo. The colorful and hilarious tale of "Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme" centres around Monsieur Jourdain, the wealthy but common lout who attempts to buy the manners, the graces and the aura which he thinks will admit him to the charmed circle of the nobility. This play has lost none of its satirical bite in the period between the 17th Century when it was first produced and this outstanding production of today. Though produced entirely in French it is such a broad farce that the French language used in the play shouldn't be any barrier to enjoyment. The TNM has been invited three times to participate in International Festivals: the F es ti val of Dramatic Art in Paris, France 1955, the Brussels World's Fair in 1958 and at the Commonwealth Arts F es ti val in London in 1965. Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme played a two week run at Expo 67. On Monday, October 30th the famous French Canadian Chant• euse Monique Leyrac will appear at the University under the sponsorship of "Festival Canada" . She is at a sensational point in her singing career and has recently been highly acclaimed in France, United States, Russia, as well as in her own country, Canada. She won first prize awards in Poland, Belgium and French Canada and has made a number of recordings. Miss Leyrac is singing at just about every major university in Canada. On Friday, November 10th the Chantal Masson vocal group consisting of 25 singers most of whom are music students ~t Laval, will be at the University. The group is sponsored through the Centennial Commission. They gave four concerts at the Canadian Pavilion in late July. They are touring Laurentian University, the University of Manitoba and Toronto University in November. Our students are expected to look after billets for them. On Friday, November 24th, Donald Lautrec and Ginette Reno will appear at the University. They are sponsored by "Festival Canada" . Donald Lautrec has recorded over 70 songs in his young career including the officialExpo theme song "Hey Friend, Say Friend" which sold over 70,000 copies. He is extremely popular in his native Quebec, particularly amongst the high school and university crowd. He has appeared several times in Paris and has recently signed a four year contract with Barclay Records there. He recently appeared for a week at the "Semaine de la Chanson'' at the Expo Theatre. Ginette Reno is a glamorous young French songstress who looks a little like Sophia Loren. She sings with equal ability in English and French, specializing in singing jazz, blues and pop• ular songs. She began her career in 1960. Following several tours and successful appearances in cabarets, night clubs and concert halls, she was offered a recording contract with Apex• Records, from which her albums to date have, overnight, established her as a star among Canadian "chanteuses". One of her records has sold over 90,000 copies. The critics in I 964 named her "discovery of the year". Due to the generous subsidies received, the costs for attending all five of these productions will be $5.00 for students . It would be advised that tickets be procured at as early a date as possible since the seating capacity in the theatre is not great. Watch for dates and places of ticket sales in future editions.

'hopefully before the end of Centennial Year! Plans for an $840,000 athletic building were unveiled August 4 by Lakehead University PresidentDr. W.G. Tamblyn. The huge gymnasium complex will accommodate 2,200 persons for basketball games and 3,200 for non-athletic events, Thus it will be the largest gymnasium-auditorium building in Northwestern Ontario, far eclipsing the seating capacity of Lakeview High School and the Lakehead Exhibition Coliseum. Lakeview seats 1,500 the Coliseum, 1,800. The firstof a long range, three phaseprogram of athletic buildings, the field house will take the form of a steel girder-concrete block gymnasium complex. The complex will house equipment rooms, locker rooms, showers, offices, and an athletic library as well as. the gymnasium. . Although the gymnasium's purpose is to accommodate the majority of the University's athletic program, this will not be its sole use. It 'is the University's hope that this building will become the neutral floorfor athletic competitions in NorthwesternOntario. Furthermore, many regional non-athletic activities, such as the Science Fair, conventions, art shows, convocation and concerts could be held in the building. It will differ from the standard athletic gymnasium in that, spectators entering at ground level will be 12 feet above the gymnasium floor and hence walk down to their seats. Seating capacity will be 1,400 in the fold-away bleachers with additional standing room for 800. When a non-athletic event is scheduled the gym floor space can 'be utilized to seat a further 1,000 people. Arts I Arts 11, lll, IV Science I, Applied Science Science 11, Ill, IV Forestry (Diploma & Degree) Business Administration Diploma & Degree Technology - Engineering, Ryerson, Mining, Library Nursing Diploma & Degree This year the Teacher's College will participate in team and individual competition but will not be eligible for the overall intramural champ• ionship. Last year's intramural champion, tl1e Foresters bolstered by the addition of 80 first year Fore st Tech. students, will be out to defend the title and attempt to increase the 30 point spread they had over runner-up Arts 11, lll and IV. Intramural points are accumulated on a participation basis, plus the standing of teams in the individual events. Each group can have as many teams and as many participants in individual sports as they desire. A complete breakdown of the point system will follow in another edition of the ARGUS. The following are the sports events scheduled for the fall term: Golf The last signing date for the Intramural Tournament is September 29, 1967. Five man teams will participate with the best four to count. A 27 hole tournament is scheduled for October 1, 1967 at the Strathcona Golf Cours.e, top candidates to be eligible for the Ontario Intercollegiate Athletic Association tournament in Hamilton October 5, 6. Cross Country The new sport attempted this year, will begin workouts daily on September 25, 1967. Races will be held September 30, October 7 and October 14, 1967. It is expected that all persons anticipating playing intercollegiate sports will be present, as well as others interested. Fastballers Fare Well In the maiden season of the Nor'Westers Fastball team in the Intermediate League, they have fared well. After a slow start the L.U. squad battled their way to convincing wins over Videon and Great Lakes. By the end of the regular schedule Lakehead had tied with Videon for the fourth and final playoff spot. The Nor'Westers then went on to defeat Videon three to two to attain the playoff berth. Videon, an established club, did not make the playoffs because they could not beat the young Nor'Westers. L.U. won five . of the six games played between the two clubs in regular season play. In the semi-finals, Lakehead met the Great Lakes Papermen and forced the best-of-five series to the limit before losing the series three to two with one game tied. The Papermen, who eventually won the Intermediate crown, admitted that ~he Nor'Westers gave them the most trouble. RIGHT OUT? "It is the hope of the ·Athletic Department that this Field House will become the sports centre of all athletics and athletic events in Northwestern Ontario," said acting Athletic Director Henry Akerval. "This building is the first in a series that eventually will encompass facilities for every major competitive sport played at the University level, and all sports played primarily for recreation. These facilities will be used on a year round basis, and unless they are being used directly by the University, they will be available to others for tournaments and championship games." The long-range plan of new facilities brings up the distinct possibility, Mr. Akerval predicted, that national and even international sporting events could come to the Lakehead. "Our central location has always been a major asset in hosting sports events," he added. "This may all be speculation at the moment but it is a distinct possibility in the future as facilities expand to meet the needs of our campus and our area." Gymnasium floor markings will, at any one time, accommo■UTA-Alff date eight doubles badminton, or three volleyball courts, or two tennis courts, or two full •,size basketball courts, or one centred intercollegiate basketball court with glass backboards and two score time clocks at opposite ends of the building.

Great to be back at the old homestead. To start the year off in fine fashion I'd like to give a wrap-up of the events of the sumirer, as well as make a few predictions. •••••••••• The Lakehead U. Athletic Department was right on the beam again in mid-August when they released this year's intercollegiate hockey schedule. I'm sure everyone is so interested in hockey in August that they cut it out of the local papers. Let's have some coordination between press releasing and the season when the schedule actually takes place. •••••••••• Congratulations to Bill Shannon, last year's athletic coordinator at Lakehead. Bill has been named coach of the Lakehead Mustangs football team this year. Good luck, Bill. •••••••••• Mr. George Birger is Lakehead University's new athletic director and basketball coach. Congratulations to Mr. Birger, for being named coach, and congratulations to the Athletic Department for finding him. My football precictions, unlike my baseball predictions, seem to be infallible. (San Francisco and Baltimore to win the pennents?) I predict that Green Bay will win in the N.F.L. while Buffalo seems to have the edge in the A. F .L. Green Bay will win its second Super-Bowl in January. Notre Dame will top the American college polls while I see Queens in the east and Manitoba in the west as Canadian University powers. Oh yes, the C.F .L. (just about forgot the bush league). Saskatchewan will waltz, will £rug (my own cliche) to its second straightGrey Cup victory. •••••••••• As indicated by the previous football coinmen ts, I hate "Canadian Pro" Football. It's dullsville. I'm not the only one who sees it that way though. The C.B.C. will televise over one hundred N.F .L. games this year, with the number of C.F.L. games drastically cut. The C.B.C. could be putting itself in such a position as to be deported to France "a la De Gaulle" for such an unpatriotic (but correct) move. •••••••••• I would like to apologize to one Bob Bond Sr. for my comments on Cassius Clay during a summer issue. I realize Clay is wrong for not wanting to defend his country but his Government is going after him in an unfair manner. The boxing world') I-hope, will collapse. Clay had previously saved it from ruin. What kind of justice strips a man of his titles as soon as his back is turned, after that man has done as much as Clay has done for boxing? •••••••••• This past summer was a fine one for junior golfers from this area. Jay Paukkunen won the Canadian Junior Golf Title and Manfred Brovac was a member of the Manitoba Junior Golf team. Eat your heart out Moe Norman. • •••••••••• I think the Lakehead, and Fort -William in particular, has the right to be called the baseball capital of Canada. For the second straight year, the Fort William American Little League All-Star team capt tred the Canadian title. They represented Canada at the World Series in Des Moines, Iowa, and won Canada's first tournament victory there. The Fort William National Little League team lost a close game en route to the Ontario Championship but never gave up. •••••••••• Once again the Senior Fastball League of Fort William led by Bill Bond held its annual tournament. This has to rate as one of the nation's top fastball tournaments with more and better teams entering each year. Superior Cartage, the Canadian Huskies, and the Suprej ;e Cleaners, three Lakehead representatives, all gave good accounts of themselves in the tournament. •••••••••• Speaking of baseball, this year the Lakehead Senior Baseball League Pennant was won by Italia. One of their key players in the play-offs was Al McLean of Queens University. In that series, ·probably more of the games could have gone ~he full nine innings if the Fort William Stadium had had lights. 'I hope that next year, for the sake of Senior Baseball which is again becoming popular, lights will be installed. •••••••••• An indication that baseball is on the upswing is the fact that ~finnesota Twins' area scout, Ed Cox, was able to send six boys ~o this year's Twins summer try-out, and three were called back or the second day. OLIVER ROAD ED CLIFF ESSO SERVICE For all your car needs Gas otl lube tlreR & acoeseorrea Motor tune up & repal"rs Next to university TEL. 344-2231 , George Birger A highly-qualified basketball coach from the United States has been named the Athletic Di rector at Lakehead University. George Birger, B.S., M.S. has assumed duties as basketball coach and athletic director after an impressive career in college and high school south of the border. The acting athletic director and hockey coach Henry Akerval has stepped into the newlycreated position of Director of Intra-Mural athletics at the University. He will continue as hockey coach. Bill Shannon will remain as Athletic Co-ordinator. The appointment meant a big step forward for the athletic program according to Henry Akerval. "Mr. Bir"ger is the type of person and has the type of qualifications that will give our program depth and direction," said Henry. "Our rapid growth is a tremendous challenge but it is also a great potential. We were lucky to find a person with George's background and with his direction. I am sure that we will be able to tap that potential and produce an even more effective varsity and intra-mural program that will bring great credit to the Uni versity and the Lakehead in general." Mr. Birger, 38, obtained his B.S. in Education and Physical Education at Northern State College and his M.S. in Education and Administration at the State University of South Dakota. During his undergraduate years, in addition to his regular academic endeavours, he was active in basketball, football, track, baseball and wrestling. He was assistant coach of the State University of South Dakota Varsity Team and coach of the Junior Varsity team while working towards his M.S. degree. Then from 1963 until thi"s year, he was Athletic Director and Head Basketball Coach at Soda Springs Idaho High School, where in 1967 he won the Idaho Basketball Championship. His lifetime coaching record consists of 249 wins and 77 losses. His outstanding coaching ability during his stay at Soda Springs speaks for itself, however. In 1963-64, Soda Springs won one and lost 16 games. The next_year, with George as coach they won 10 games and lost 12. In 1965-66, they hit the top with a 22-3 record. Last year the Soda Springs Team became the Soda Springs Champs, Conference Champions, State Tournament Champions and Associated Press Champions, losing only two games en route. Mr. Birger was optimistic about his new position and the whole program of athletics at Lakehead University. "Lakehead University has been extremely fortunate in having people like Henry Akerval and Bill Shannon in the important formative years. I am sure that with their support and background knowledge our program will flourish. I am especially impressed with our record of championships from last year. Our hockey team, ski team and basketball team all won championships in their competition and that is an enviable record." The recently-announced new gymnasium brought further wordsofpraise fromMr. Birger. ''Of course I am very optimistic about bringing a good overall program of basketball to the Lakehead University. But the new facilities will be a great boon not only to the basketball programs but to all varsity and intramural programs and I am sure that the interest the new building generates will s~ead throughout the area to all comers of the sports world." Mr. Birger is married and has four children ... "one short of a basketball team'' as he puts it.

Although Ontario's hated grade 13 departme_ntal _examin3:tions were written forthe last time in June, there 1s still no sign that grade 13 itself will be abolished. E~ucation Mini~te~ William Davis has effectively skirted the issue of abohshmg grade 13 by announcing all the major recommendations of a recent commission on grade 13 had been adopted. But the main recommendation of that committee was the abolition of grade 13 itself. .Orig~nally intended t? give all Ontario students first year umvers1ty at low cost, 1t soon became a barrier to university when over-crowding in the senior institutions became acute. Grade 13 became a screening year which weeded out all but tOJ.? stu~ents. Many. students who were capable of attending a umvers1ty, and domg well, were eliminated because of extremely high examination standards. After a few years of this trend, grade 13 examinations, set by a central body and written simultaneously throughout the province, became a psychological barrier themselves. Creativity and expression in the classroom gave way to rigid adherence to the timetable so students could be best prepared for the all-important finals. Now that the examinations are abolished, and each school will set its own; teachers are being encouraged to make more use of discussions, seminars, projects and other less restrictive forms of learning. NEMISSA, the Women's society of Lakehead University, derived its name from an Ojibway term meaning sister-hood. The organization is a bond of union among the full-time female students of all faculties, and it performs services in the interest of the university. The executive • President Sandra Knight; Vice-Pres. Irene Kidd; Sec.-Treasurer Joan Stuart; and Public Relations Head Barbara Coghlan, wish to welcome all new female students to the happy hunting ground, and to extend a cordial invitation to the Nemissa Initiation Night which will be held during the last week of September. Yearbook Infiltration Charges Denied by CYC OTTAWA (CUP) .. The executive director of the Company of Young Canadians has denied that his organization is the victim of a Marxist take-over. Alan Clarke said there were some CYC members with leftist opinions, but there had not been a take-over or attempted take-over by any group. The charges that a Marxist group was infiltrating the company were laid in the Montreal Gazette. The Gazette used for the ~asi~ of its story an arti_cle, published in Scan, written by a V1ctona CYC member, Lyn Curtis. Scan is a communistoriented magazine published in Toronto. The article referred to "the rotting middle class" .. a phrase which the Gazette reportedly took exception to. Curtis's article suggested any radical who wanted to for. ward his ideas and gain substantial backing should join the CY_C. He said there was a leniency within the organization which allowed the members to do almost what they wanted. He also said that he was pleased with the executive director's handling of the Gazette's charges. "1:he official CYC position has improved greatly since the last time we played one of these little games. This time the national office has stood behind the members and defe~ded their actions. This shows a definite growth within the organization," Curtis said. Lakehead University is again publishing a year-book and like last year it will be increasing in size and in quality. The 1968 edition will consist of 216 pages in black and white and in colour. Approximately 40 of these pages will be allotted to individual photos of the undergraduates. Pictures of professors, plus all events of the school year will appear. For those who failed to place their orders for year books at registration, orders can be placed with Miss Sharon Matchett, AMS Secretary, or at the switchboard. The cost per copy is $5.00 for all students and faculty. For those who purchased last year's yearbook the publisher has infonned us that the books will arrive September 21. Davis Appoints Another Commission TORONTO (CUP) .. Education Minister William Davis of Ontario has appointed a government commission to chart the course of university education in the province into the 1980s. The commission's role will be to define the future role of all post-secondary institutions ... universities, community colleges, vocational institutes, teacher's colleges ... and to report back to the government within eighteen months. Although it is not a royal commission this special commission's report is to be published. The commission will be composed of three full-time and ab_out 12 part-time members, including one student representative. It was the minister's wish that the commission "clarify ... once and for all that no able student in this province will ever be denied the opportunity to proceed to higher education if he has the desire and ability to do so." He noted he had not yet completely satisfied student demands for more government assistance with the costs of education, but said that student protests over the issue have been carried out responsibly. Referring to protests voiced by the Ontario Union of Students last year he noted: "While, like most members of the adul~ community,_ I do not necessarily enjoy it or even encourage 1t, I accept 1t and feel an obligation to work with the students in resolving the issues which have led to it." " .. .I would acknowledge that the philosophy voiced by the students may differ somewhat from that held by the general adult community and would take us down the road to free higher education faster than our economy would seem to allow." Ju~ging from past performances Davis has a penchant for committees. In a recent speech in the legislature on the subject of Ontario grade 13, he referred to no less than 43 comm-. ittees, past, present, or to be appointed. oR1vE-1N Commencing with the appearance of Volume 2, Number I of the ARGUS, this space is reserved for classified advertisments of all shapes, sizes and varieties.
