Loney was here speaking in preparation for yesterday's CUS referendum. Loney outlined several benefits of CUS - life insur- ance, travel and the lobby in Ottawa which has helped bring about student loans, tax deductable tuition fees, and is currently working on housing and the employment situation. Loney discussed course unions, one of the means for educational reform which gives students some control over their environment. The ·most extreme Canadian example is one department at Simon Fraser where the students and faculty meet separately to discuss issues and each has a veto over the other's decisions. Loney also dealt with the recent situation at Sir George Williams in Montreal. He pointed out that the destruction of the computer centre must be looked at as a part of the whole situation - the unanswered racial charge, the failure of a committee, the administration backing down from an agreement reached between their lawyers and the students. During the question period Loney handled all comers with ease. He described how decisions on CUS policy are made by member universities at the annual Congress. He pointed out that no CUS policy is binding on a campus unless that campus chooses to adopt it. Of course some came to heckle. An administrative employee (herself an immigrant) challenged Loney•s right to his position because he is English. Loney replied, "Some of us are Canadian by choice, others by accident. I chose to move to this country. Do we get points for the length of time we've been here?" Another question concerned compulsory payment of student union fees by students who disagree with CUS policies. Loney pointed out thatjust because some people disagree with government policies does not mean they can stop paying income tax. The CUS fee is only .$1 per student per year. Chief Justice not forced to resign I Martin Loney, CUS President-Elect -s,hoto by Acri Diefenbaker speaks at L.U. • Former Prime Minister John G. Diefenbaker spoke to an overflow crowd in the University Centre Theatre Monday. He began with an appeal to the youth of today to contribute to the building of Canada. He said, "It is everyone's right to disagree, to dissent and to argue, but not to resort to civil disobedience. If violence becomes the order of the day, then we as citizens of Canada will have participated in destroying the right of everyone else to be wrong." He added that the recent events at Sir George Williams University were against the law, and said, "92% of the students in Canada have nQ support for these lawbreakers. They have given University students across Canada a reputation that they don't deserve." On legalizing marijuana, Diefenbaker said, "I see no reason to legalize marijuana because of its attractiveness to certain people. This is a drug which can lead to the use of other narcotics." As to Canada as a bilingual nation all Diefenbaker said was "We in Canada must accept and maintain the constitutional right of each and every individual and see that no one is given a second-class citizenship." He ended by praising the present government for allowing Czechoslovakian refugees into Canada. He said, "There must always be an open door for those who stand against Communism and seek Freedom.'' Diefenbaker spent most of his time recounting anecdotes from his pastpolitical life and left many questions unanswered. Some unanswered questions were: "Do you think the U.S. should get out of Vietnam?" and "another form of civil disobedience is non-violent, passive resistance. How do you feel about this form of protest?" With these and other questions remaining, Diefenbaker left the stage amid great applause. Mike Barkwell is still Chief Justice. A. special Judicial Committee Tuesday 13 February ruled that Barkwell should remain Chief Justfre despite an AMS court sentence recommending his resignation and an AMS council motion pushing for his dismissal. Barkwell has been at the centre of a storm of controversy ever since he was convicted last month by the AMS Judicial Committee of lxeaking down a door and stealing six bottles ofliquor belonging _to the faculty. Barkwell pleaded guilty and was sentenced to a fine of $100, the cost of damages, and the court recommended that he resign his position as Chief Justice. He didn't. The AMS then passed a motion setting up a Special Judicial Committee to consider Barkwell's fitness for office then illegally ttconsidered it a few minutes later, and decided not to do it after all. Next week, after the illegality was pointed out, council voted again to set up the committee as originally decided. The motion began "'Whereas the Chief Justice has not performed his duties to the satisfaction of the AMS council. . . " and ended "'Failure to attend the meeting will be considered your concurrance with the motion". Barkwell did not turn up at the hearing at I :00 Tuesday. At 1:35 a . bench warrant was issued for him, and the commlltee decided to meet at 7:00 p.m. At 7:05, with Barkwell in attendance, the hearing resumed. After lengthy discussion and cross-examination the decision was reached not not to remove Barkwell from office. His term expires m April.

Kolasky, previously associated with the Canadian Communist Party for thirty years, spent two years studying in the USSR. His recent book documents the oppressive treatment of the various national cultures in the USSR and has been hailed as an invaluable tool to current understanding of the Soviet Union. Kolasky says "the aim of Russian Policy is to main· tain a tight control over edu• cation in Ukraine and other national republics, to restrict Ukrainians and other nation• als from progressing beyond the elementary and general secmdary level, to denation• alize them ... to increase the ... the continuous influx of Russians to occupy posts in government, education science and other fields." During his two years in Kie", Koslasky found that "everywhere there was evi• dence of pressure to impose the Russian language." In preparation for Kolasky's visit the Ukrainian Club, which is sponsoring the lecture, held a seminar to discuss three of the more recent books available Qn the 1..urrent intellectual disi,,ent within the Soviet Union. The three books, available in the university .!ih(ary,, are I. Dzyuba's Internationalism or Russification, The Chorno• vil Papers, and Kolasky's own book "Education in the Sovi.et Ukr,~ ne". - �argus, february 20, 1969, page 3 Howard Adams looks at Indians, students can no longer be a forerunner to new ideas in the areas of the social sciences." Adams said that there are a lot of faculty members who do not concern themselves with students' problems or current social issues. "The main reason for this," he said, "is that if a faculty member sees his success in the :present establishment social structure, he will harmonize as much as possible with the administration in order to achieve success within the academic society." However, he added, "there are a number of professors who are concerned and active and do feel that there are things that must be done to make the university truly a university and not just a place for grinding out cogs to fill the required slots in industry and business!' Adams then talked about the cuniculum at universities and explained how he was trying to change the curriculum at the University of Saskatchewan. He tried to discuss the course of study with his students and found it very difficult, as most students merely wanted to be told what to do and when to have term papers canpleted. He attributed this to their earlier training in the highschools which are framed around rigidity and authority. "I've done this with my classes who decide their own courses of study and are not required to _do any term papers unless they wish to do so. They decide what questions will be on the ex.am and even turned in a mark for first term that they felt was fair." He added, "we are prepared to face the administration and only decided to have exams at all so as not to jeopardize the students' academic positions." "Universities are rather dehumanizing experiences,' Dr. Adams said. "They stress rational thinking and students cannot relate to one another as human beings. People who go through our schools are living a dull life which leaves them spiritually bankrupt." He added, "I feel that in our educational system, academic work has become sterile and there is no room for the real essence of a human being." by Keith Clarke The similarity of the plight of University Students and that of the Indians and Metis in Canada was the topic of a speech last Thursday by Dr. Howard Adams, assistant Professor at the University of Saskatchewan. Dr. Adams, the son of Metis parents who grew up on a Metis Colony said "The Metis and the students are both fighting the same power structure: namely, the corporate elite, and the government." He began his speech by saying that one of the reasons for the current crisis in Canadian universities is the social structure in Canada. He used as an example John Mitchell, a Canadian Mercenary. "Mi tche 11 would not kill white people, but he had no qualms about killing people of other races, particularly the blacks. And it is his kind of personality that will allow people to kill my brothers and my sisters." He added,. "Canada is a violent society, as violent as that of the United States, and at the universities there are more sophisticated people· concerned about the direction of our Canadian Society." "The Western World is in a decadent Imperialistic stage, with institutions that belong to an earlier age which will just not work, and students have the greatest sensitivity to this." The university Adams described one of these institutions -the university. "The university", he said, "is an institution that belongs to the corporate elite. They are training schools for the power structures, namely, big business." He added that unjversities are controlled by these same people. "At the University of Saskatchewan," he added, "the Board of · Governors consitst of one half business men, and one half men appointed by the Provincial Government. These men control the University. They have the final decisions in 'all areas." He said that they tend to become oppressive and don't allow eXP!!!Ssion and expansion in the manner desired by the students and faculty. He said that universities are mainly concerned with their public images and that he had been faced with being fired by the administration because he was "too controversial." He pointed out that the Carillon (student newspaper at Regina) is presently out of existence for the same reason. They were not pleasing the established government and were attacking certain areas of politics or injustices. "For these reasons," he said, "the university The Indian and Metis Situation Dr. Adams said that Canada is a nation of white supremacy and that the Indians and Metis are treated as a colonial people. He said "if the Indians had not been useful to the white man in the fur trade they might have been wiped out, but later when they were no longer needed they were herded onto reservations and Me tis Colonies." He said that the Indians cannot integrate into such a society which is obviously racist. The Metis has olenty of ri2:hts in theory, but almost none when he tries to exercise them. As an example he sighted the reserve at Green Lake, Saskatchewan. "We had our own elected council", he said, "and we wanted to administer our own community, but were not allowed to do so by both the local and the Provincial governments." The Metis were told they would be allowed to administrate to their own community only when they b~came responsible. "But," said Dr. Adams, "who decides when we become responsible? Some government official. What criteria does he use? His own judgement. With laws like these our people are powerless." "Many of us," he said, "more actively involved in the Native movement, are seperatists and do not suscribe to the White Ideal. However, we have to relate ourselves to the technological world, perhaps in the form of some light industries, as we don;t want to be , kept on welfare as this keeps us under the control of the government. He added, "Practically all teachers and school administrators are white and the urban middle class value system is alien to our people." He suggested that the government supply more money for restoring native life and culture. He said that $200,000 was spent last year on the Department of Indian Affairs, most of which was paid out in salaries to white men. He also said that large enterprises that exploit the Metis, and Churches which split them, must be removed from the reservations. Answering questions, Adams said that he felt that the reserve system should be eliminated, but slowly, over time, as the older Indians are worried of losing what security they have. However, the young people will move off them and the reservations will slowly disappear. He added that the government would like to see a quick end to the reservations, as this would mean splitting up the Indians, thus weakening their power. "Elaborating on his idea for a Metis School System, Adams said that up to grade three Metis children should be taught on the reservation in their own language, _stressing th~ir own history and culture. From grade 4 to 8 they would be taught in English and would go to an ordinary highschool when they were ready. Dr. Adams stated that there are only 500,000 Indians in Canada and this in not enough to win the Indians' freedom. Therefore they .•are going to need the help of the white man. He things this help might come from the university students whose situation closely parallels that of the Indians in Canada. CUS co-op fieldvvorker visits A CUS Co-op fieldworker visited Lakehead along with other CUS personnellast week. Ron Davis, who left Simon Fraser University to take up the newly created position last November 1st, travels across Canada giving assistance to students interested in co-operative housing. Davis sees co-operative housing as cheaper living for students who cannot afford the high cost of residences, and an experience in self-government. Co-op housing also gives students a chance to get away from home. Davis describes his job as "speaking to people about co-ops and the idea of co-operative living; givmg technical assistance to groups which are trying to form co-ops; also helping with research into housing problems." The kinds of co-ops vary. Some are like residences while others are more informal with a group of students renting a house. Davis talked to a number of people in the cafeteria during his visit and also joined CUS fieldworker .

I argus Undis<;losed ARGUS candidate loses through technicality. �argus, february 20, 1969, page 5 letters to the editor Cambrian Players reply to L.U. Drama Club Dear Sir: I was very sorry to read in your Feb. 6th edition, a letter from a member of the Lakehead University Drama Club which complains of the precedence given to the Cambrian Players with regard to back-stage dressing rooms and facilities and their "free and constant Can We Help You Find The Book You Need? We Stock College Outline Series And Other supplementary Reading. Business Supply Co. (BOOK DEPARTMENT) Books Available BY sPecial Order Across from Royal. Edward Hotel, South May Street, Fort Willian. access to the theatre for rehearsal periods". Just to set the record straight, I would like to point out that we have no access to facilities which are not similarly available to the students except for two small storage cupboards in which we store a few props and costumes. We have no free access to dressing rooms or other storage facilities because there are none until the additions and renovations to the University Centre are completed. As far as any committment with regard to the University Theatre is concerned, we have none at all except that we are permitted to reserve one week, three times a year, for the actual presentation of our productions. It often seems to be forgotten that we pay a comparitively large sum for this privilege, twenty percent of our gross receipts for each production. It can amount to and did last year, with the inclusion of our musical, OKLAHOMA, which ·we presented jointly with three other groups, to nearly two thousand dollars a year. As far as rehearsal time is concerned, we are permitted to use the theatre only when it has not already been booked by · • - · ·· ~n ·· :_tbe,Senate,.a~-~ ," '.

Our rehearsal periods are only booked about six weeks before the actual production when most important occasions requiring the theatre have already been arranged. In the period between the beginning of September and the end of December we had, roughly, about twelve rehearsal nights in the theatre. Since the beginning of January, we have had to date, exactly four occasions in which we have been permitted to use the theatre. We are anticipating about eight more rehearsal periods before our production of TIIE TIIREE CUCKOLDS commences of the 25th of February. We have been able to obtain two of these rehearsal. nights only because the UniDrama Club cancelled their previous bookings for them. I am sorry to be so pedantic about times and dates but I do feel it is necessary to make our position clear. I have been deeply distressed over the years that whenever a group of students get together to form a drama club, they seem to blame any difficulties they encounter on the existence of the Cambrian Players. They never discuss their problems with us and so we never get to hear of them until there is some kind of public attack. Since, I happen to have been rather intensely involved and concerned with the Lakehead University myself for the past fifteen years, I suppose I find this kind of thing particularly disturbing. I do happen to be the Artistic Director of The Cambrian Players but I also happen to be a ·student at Lakehead University. I know that my personal concern is shared by many other members of Cambrian Players who are directly connected with Lakehead University. Our executives for the 1968-69 season consists of three graduates of Lakehead University, two faculty members, one student . and three members of the cooununity at large. There are many other students and faculty amongst our general membership. It has never been our intention to in· hi bit the formation of any student drama club. On the contrary, ·we welcome such a club and have expressed a desire to assist any such group in any way that we can. There are many reasons why it is difficult to form a student drama club, the main one being thatitoften hard to find enough students who are willing and able to give the kind of time that theatre demands. We do not cons ider ourselves in competition with a student drama organization but rather as colleagues. We feel we have a place in that we can provide training and some continuity for those students, faculty and graduates who love theatre. My best wishes to the LakeStudent Drama Club for their March production. What we need in the Lakehead is not less theatre but more and better theatre.

The wins (87-78 on Friday and 81-73 on Saturday) marked the last Varsity games to be played at home this season. Richard Earl started both games in place of the injured Phil Fury. Fury suffered a back injury while the team was in Sudbury. The Nor'Westers couldn't take the lead until the clock showed only 4:00 remaining in the half, but a strong team effort yielded a 41-30 score at half. The Lumberjacks came on strong in the second half, with Wayne Pennyfeathet showing himself to be a real threat. The Lumberjacks be- -photo by Acri Willie Jerks (34) tips it in.

The game was the best of the series with both teams curling well over 70%. The Adams team consisted of Gord Moffat at third, Paul Dutton at second, and Brian MacDonald at lead. The team to represent L.U. at the O,1,A,A. championships to be held at the Port Arthur Country Club Feb. 21-22 will consist of Rick Moats, Pete Jensen 'third, Tom Fry second, and Cal Montgomery at lead.

Wayne Humphreys couldn't seem to miss on his long shots from out past the key and Dan Carroll, playing on an injured ankle, made extra effort needed to restore the Lakehead team's confidence. With only 5:00 remaining, Pero and Humphreys were racking up the baskets to give the Nor'Westers a 14 point margin. At 3:32 the ball freeze began in earnest. The last two minutes had the second string on the floor and although the Lumberjacks came within seven points of the Nor'Westers, Larry Hebert, with only seven seconds left, put the ball through the hoop to give the Lakehead team assurance of a victory. Final score 87-78, Lakehead shot 43% from the floor. Humphreys was high scorer with 29 points, followed by Willie Jerks with 22. Carroll had 13 points and led the rebounding with IO. The Lakehead team shot 65% from the foul line. For the Lumberjacks, Pennyfeather was the backbone of the team with 24 points and ten rebounds. Brown followed with 14 points and their shooting average was 40% from the floor, 62% from the line. Saturday's game promised to be exciting from the beginning but no one really knew just how exciting. The Lumberjacks set up a very tight defeµse and the Nor'Westers picked up very few points on organized offense. A fast break, liowever, proved to be the answer and through consistant playing the Nor'Westers picked up a 13 point lead. They led by ten at the half. The second half revealed many wasted shots but the real difficulty proved to be in the officiating. Unheeded fouls and bad calls led to rising tempers and things finally exploded at 12:13 of the second half. A scramble under the Have we got a deal for you • • • visitor's basket saw about five players grapping for the ball. Before anyone knew what happened, fists were flying. Dick Lee of the Lumberjacks was quit'e free with the elbows and Humphreys decided to show his disapproval. Lee was caught with a solid upper-cut on the side of the head and in a blind fury hit Carroll, who was lying face down on the floor. Carroll jumped up after Lee, who backed off, and in a matter of sec.onds both teams were all on the floor pushing and shoving. When things finally had settled down, the referees ejected Carroll and Lee from the game. Hardly a minute later, Humphreys picked up his fifth foul and he too left the floor. With Carroll and Humphreys both out, it was Pero who instilled the spirit of victory in the Nor'Westers. Pero picked up 14 points and 7 rebounds. Don Holmstrom also added valuable aid as he. made nine out of his last ten foul shots. Jerks led the scoring with 17 points, followed by Richard Earl with 15, The Nor' Westers shot 46% from the field and 57% from the line. Carroll pulled in 13 rebounds and Holmstrom handled 11, For the Lumberjacks, Pennyfeather again led the scoring with 25 points, and Brown topped the rebounding with ten. Final score 81-73, This weekend the Nor' Westers travel to Brandon, Manitoba for their final two games.

GIBSON FORD INTERCITY �argus, february 20, 1969, pages Racism at Sir George Williams Eight months of the 11 proper channels" produced nothing. The occupation at Sir George was based on demands which were accepted by the administration's lawyers. But the faculty turned them down. That's when the police were called. And that's when the students announced they would The media played the affair as a black-white confrmtation though in reality it had been· turned to a complex student power, revolutionary action. The blacks sensed the news value was in blackness. Reporters called white students by their first names and collared them informally •• they spoke to Mr. Black and asked politely for interviews. The blacks then became blacks -- Different from anyone else. And in doing so, they were fully aware that they had been forced to. They acknowledged the individuals were not conscious racists but saw clearly that the societal ethic had forced the individuals to treat them differently from all others. Institutional racism smash computers until the police left. Analysis by Elly A Ibo im Canadian lktiversity Press Montreal (CUP) ... Reporter: "Why didn't you take the students demands seriously?" Faculty Association Executive member: "You know these West Indian students •· they exaggerate, they're expansive. And they use obscenity, but we've come to overlook that, They think differently." if it wasn't exaggeration, it was unpredictability, a term the administration at Sir George Williams University substituted for communication as its key crisis phrase. And it was precisely that state of mind that precipitated the conflict and its tragic consequences. Of course, there were immediate triggers. After two weeks of occupation, the students were betrayed in the last moments. They expected victory, were told their demands would be met and then, in the midst of the victory euphoria, were let down dramatically by a moribund faculty suddenly up with a snarl. The pent-up frustration could not be contained -- though it might have been had the police not been called. And the computers, so carefully guarded from harm by the students for 14 days, were smashed beyond repair by their meticulous guardians. They would have done their case better to withdrawquietly, losers in a wearying struggle. They had the support of the student body and might have seen their demands met after a while. But they responded to power with the only power they could muster, destruction. The anatomy of response is an intriguing problem but not very relevant. Administrative waffling Not much more relevant are the eight months of administrative waffling on the charges against Perry Anderson. The weakness and hesitancy led naturally to escalation, demands and finally occupation. That is a straight-forward process. The substantive charges against Anderson --which. now may never be explicitly defined-may or may not be valid. Racism is ~ d~ff~cult attitude to expose on the subtle mdividual level. Nuances of speech, treatment of individuals deliberate color-blindness may all be indicat~rs. It is not so much individual attitudes per se as the societal institutions that create them that are important. Pragmatically, in order to satisfactorily illustrate institutional racism, an educator would take an individual and show how he had been molded by, and was implicitly involved in, a greater societal process. That is the dramatic technique. Whether it is ethically justifiable is que~tionable. A judgement would involve balancing the relative weights of the consequences to the individual model against the possible value of an increase in sensitivity to and awareness of societal racism. . It is at best doubtful whether people, m_ the final analysis, were se~sit_i~ed to racism. There is no doubt that a sigmficant number of white students were -· they joined the occupation and talked out racism for days. They, however, would have arrived at that sensitivity on their own. An enormous number of people never looked beyond militancy and destruction. Black leader!':' may have been satisfied with the outcome, at least to a certain extent. They did manage to create a solid, militant core of blacks. Though they had little feeling for property rights, they did not want the destruction that resulted. They knew the strategical implications of damage and knew their case would be washed away in the swirl of shrill outcry. They simply lost control. There is no doubt the blacks were extremely sensitive to racism. They may have reacted too quickly, sized up situations too readily. They were of cour~e influenced by the black movement in America and the emerging one in Halifax. But all of this would not have been sufficient cause for the eruption. It was more white reaction that convinced them or racism than anything else. When people are told they're different, they become different. White radicals were one of the culpable groups. Their obsequience, hesitancy to question and debate with blacks convinced the blacks of their control. Decisions in the computing centre were almost invariable made by blacks, debate on strategy involved blacks. Whites did not participatd until they proved their worth by an independent occupation of the faculty club. BJacks handled Differently Administrators were also involved. Their continual hesitancy to act because of the "unpredictability" of blacks was disastrous. They could have handled w~i!e protest_ •· dialogue, compromise, all legitimate tactics with whites. But they made it clear from the beginning that they didn't know what to expect from the blacks and acted accordingly. The stilted politeness, retreat to downtown hotels, lack_ of connnunication all hinged on their evaluation of blacks as something Different, to be handled Differently. And they made no claim to expertise. An administration that has handled students cooly in the past suddenly lost its firm hand when dealing with black students. And the implications of that were not lost on the blacks. The faculty played its hand badly too. Teachers, perhaps the best people to sense the mood of the school, failed utterly. They were more concerned with Anderson's suspension and its implicatims to teaching security than with evaluating the political situation and making the best of it. And spokesmen kept making unfortunate evaluations of black students to the media. And, of course, there were hundreds of: "I don't care whether he's black, white, green or pink, I want the facts." Given that institutional racism had become an objective reality and was transmitted to them by various groups and individuals, they were unwilling to differentiate in any relative sense. Had they acknowledged that various individuals were blind to the manifestations of their unconscious racism but nevertheless were objective-ly less repugnant and easier to deal with than the deliberately constructed racist institutions or conscious ~acists themselves. they might have been able to work the dispute out. At that point, they could have forced many people to re-evaluate themselves and understand the conflict with the blacks. They wer.e able to work with white radicals, they may have been able to work -- though of course less effectively •• with white liberals. As the Differences piled up and the division was sharpened, the blacks, though never talking about it, began to despair. Perhaps they thought at heart the racist aspect of the situation could be explained away, that it was only surface dirt. As the occupation stretched on and they read signs calling them niggers, warning them to get back into their place, they lost hope. The overt racism coupled with the not-sq-subtle covert racism convinced them they would not Win. When the confrontation came, they had little to lose -· AS HUMAN BEINGS. The destruction was a last stutter of impotent rage. The whites involved were split. Some were radical people who tried all the while to put the affair into political perspective. The· blacks insisted they weren't interested in the "isms"•· capitalism, socialism, Marxism. They ejected one Maoist who was too vociferous. Gradually they began to create that revolutionary analysis. Some of them left before the police came, knowing they could do no good in jail. Others stayed to fight imperialism on the barricades. But many were white liberals genuinely interested in attaining justice, in creating a new Hearing Committee. They were driven to destruction because they were retrayed by people they believed would finally be reasonable -- liberal administrators and faculty. In the final analysis, it was the attitude of Difference that killed Sir George. Had this revolt been treated like any others, the tragedy \\Ould not have happened. Demands mild The demands made by the occupiers were the MILDEST made to date in the history of serious student revolt. The students simply wanted a new hearing committee, AGREEABLE TO BOIB SIDES, a demand they likened to any trial where prosecution and defense select the jury. f 1 .. d. Administrative and acu ty ngi ity came not from the unreasonableness of the demands (though of course a fair number. opposed in principle to giving in to students m any way) but rather from evaluation of the people they were dealing with. And they were incapable of dealing with blacks. Perhaps the blacks in the long run did prove their case. But everybody has paid an enormous price for that lesson. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The expansio1i..was approved in principle by the Senate Tuesday 4 March in a vote 17· 3 with several abstentions. The Board of Governors and the Department of Education still have to agree ·to the change. They are expected to do so shortly. The Board of Governors will agree because it will mean considerable expansion and probably the creation of a new faculty. The Dept. of Education will accept because they have been trying for it since 1966, when the McLeod report recommended it for Ontario. The Degree Course in Education, which still has to be announced by the University, will probably mean three years of Arts and one of teacher training. Probably it will be a separate faculty, but if not it will go under University Schools. There may be some conflict overfaculty status and wages. Teachers' College faculty normally have lower academic standing, but as Provincial Civil Servants, are paid slightly higher. Salaries at L.U. start at about $8,600. At Teacher's College they b 11;in 0 $12,000. L.U. faculty are currently negotiating for higher wages. If the takeover is successful other Universities are expected to follow suit. Universities and Teachers' Colleges in St. Catherines, Ottawa and Sudbury are watching Lakehead's progress. At present plans call only for Primary School Teachers to be part of the program, but if the Secondary School Teachers are brought in - as is quite likely - Lakehead will be the al first campus in Canada to do so. There· are 13 Teachers' Colleges in Ontario and the McLeod report recommended that all become part of a UnivPrsi ty. It strongly criticize,d the r,1ebenL bi "'tem of allowing Grade 13 students with one year of Teachers' College to teach Grade School. For many years in Ontario there has been a shortage of teachers, so little has been done about improving the quality of Grade School Teachers. This year Education Minister William Davis announced the shortage was over. Both Dr. Tamblyn and Mr. West, Principal of Lakehead Teachers' College, were unavailable for comment. Two councillors were reelected and two ARGUS staffers won seats in last Friday's AMS Council elections. Winter Cami val Queen Donna Pace topped the Arts pole with 205 votes. ARGUS editor Ron Baker was second with 194 and Simon Hoad another ARGUS staffer, followed close with 193. Hoad was followed by Ken Boshcoff and Mike Gravelle, who were running for reelection, with 178 and 165 votes respectively. Val Dennison, who worked on LUST this year, gained the last Arts seat with 158 votes. John MacGregor came five votes -short with 153. Doug Smart was next with 141 while Ray Hunt polled 135. Kumar Kwatra, Mike Metherelle and Robert MacLeod drew 123, 115, and51 votes respectively. In University Schools, Albert Au topped the polls \; h 21:) rntes. Sharon Weller and Darlene Cymbalisty followed with 155 and 122. John Drew won the last University Schools seat with 115 votes. Jack Tallon lost out by ten votes, polling 105. Janet Hamer, running for re-election came next with 88, and Dave Snell drew 78 votes. A poor turnout in Science gave John Paddington the sole Science seat. Paddington beat Judy Pearson by 39-26 vote. Tom Fry won the election for SAS President, defeating a Arts Faculty opens meetings In a meeting on March 3, the Arts Faculty voted to open its meetings to student observers. At the moment the faculty has no legally defined powers. Its role within the university is limited to general inter-departmental discussions and recommendations to more authoritative bodies. It is the general hope among faculty and students that openness might lead to effective student representation at these meetings. Towards the concept of students having a say in the things that affect their lives, the next step might well be openning the Senate. Students have been offered seats on the Senate, but have declined while the Senate continues to hold dosed meetings. Ron Hiller 257 to 149.

One of the most famous and controversial contemporary American poets, Ginsberg will conduct a poetry reading at the Field House on Friday March 14 at 8 p.m. (Tickets $1 at the door). Incense, electronic music and s ubdued lighting will provide the appropriate atmosphere for the reading. Ginsberg will present his poetry from a central, raised platform covered with oriental rugs. The audience will be seated around him on the floor and in the bleachers. The gregarious, 43-year-old poet has become a public figure because of his outspoken criticism of American society. His campaigns for civil rights, his stand against the war in Vietnam and his efforts to have marijuana legalized have thrust him into public eye as a spokesman for contro_versial and unpopular causes. Ginsberg's works, an extensive body of poetry and essays, have been translated into eight languages, including Japanese and Hindu. Three complete volumes of his poetry have been released in the United States. Noted fool receives standing ovation at L.U. by Simon Hoad The Lakehead was treated to a fool's eye view of the world Friday evening by a noted fool, Malcolm Muggeridge. With ever-present wit, speaking without notes, he captivated an overflow audience with his performance and won a standing ovation. Within his mind's eye (fool's eye?) Muggerridge must have been well pleased. Four hundred people giving a standing ovation for a whipped cream presentation. Weightier matters must not be dealt witli, for the audience wouldn't understand. As a mesmerized crowd we jumped through his hoops, shared the vicarious thrill of seeing semi-sacred cows roundly thrashed, without examining the semi-sacred role of the public speaker. We did not turn a fool's eye view at Muggerridge or at ourselves as an audience. Surely, as an educated man he must have chuckled inside. For the price of sharing small insights we ·missed the bigger- ones. For a fool's eye view a sense of perspective is needed. Man must see himself measured not against the pomposities of his fellow idiots but in relation to the span of eternity. ·A short stumble as a bare-footed creature is all that is man's life. Within this perspective laughter at man's pretensions of grandeur is the salvation as well as the only human resource we possess. Between the height of our expectations and the middling range of our achievements we find ourselves. Laughter is the measure of the distance between the two. Muggerridge has seen this fact clearly. He is amused at himself. We, catching part of the vision, laughed at men, not ourselves, for we are still blind. And we gave a standing ovation to that charlatan on stage. - �argus, march 13, 1969, page 2 Regina fees fight ends This week THURSDAY,MARCH13 Spanish Dancing - Room 1006 - 9 p.m. FRIDAY, MARCH 14 AMS Judicial Committee Meeting - Board Room - 1 p.m. International Students Organization Annual Executive Election - Room 1029 - 3:30 p.m. Lakehead Chess Ass'n Banquet and Dance - Great Hall 6 p.m. Contemporary American Poet - Allan Ginsberg - Field House - 8 p.m. SATURDAY, MARCH15 Forestry Seminar - Auditorium - I p.m. Forestry Dinner - Great Hall - 5:30 p.m. MONDAY, MARCH 17 The Jewish Chautaugua Society - with Rabbi Hamburger Auditorium - 7 p.m. TUESDAY, MARCH 18 Adult Club Meeting - Room 1024 - 2:30 p.m. P.A.

Dial 344-1743 #Pll'WAY/NG at 1:00 - s:10 REGINA (CUP) -- The fee collection conflict at the University of Saskatchewan ended Wednesday night when the board of governors finally agreed to student demands that it continue to collect student union fees at source. The agreement, reached between student council and board negotiators, was ratified by general meeting of students Thursday and was expected to be ratified quickly at a board meeting Thursday night. The conflict began Dec. 31 when the board announced it would no longer collect union fees in a fairly obvious attempt to throttle its major campus antagonist, the student newspaper, The Carillon. Ever since then, students have demanded the board recant and leave The Carillon alone and slowly built up general student support for that position. The negotiations staggered on for over six weeks as the board waited for student pressure to subside. The negotiations themselves kept stumbling over various issues -- at first the question of openness but later the major problem of The Carillon. The student negotiators were adamant throughout that The Carillon be independent of the university administration and directed solely by the students. The Carillon has repeatedlyproved a major source of embarrassment to the board and the provincial government. The agreement that the administration will collect student union fees will be in effect for one year and will continue each year unless either party gives notice of cancellation by March I. Each year a majority of students must approve the fees. In an attempt to avoid further confrontation between the board and students, the parties agreed to set up a liaison committee to deal generally with all matters of common interest. The committee will be composed of five representatives of the board and twelve student representatives. It will meet at least twice · a semester and report back to the parent bodies. And this liaison committee will handle all disputes involving The Carillon. The Carillon, it was agreed in the negotiations, will adhere to the Code of Ethics set by the Canadian University Press. Any grievance against The Carillon with respect to performance under the code will be dealt with by the liaison committee. The s(udent victory at the bargaining table was a clear vindication of the student strategy to involve the mass of students and the community in the dispute. All decisions were made in large open meetings and abided with by student leaders. The Saskatchewan community was continually informed on the situation and £re e t all d on fur su - port. The administrati~n gave up when it became apparent there would be no violent action by the students to prejudice their case and when it was obvious that the general mass of students would not snpport the administration in its bid to destroy the stusupport the administration in its bid to destroy the student union and The Carillon. Inflamatory speeches in the provincial legislature and by Premier Ross Thatcher did not help the administration either. This week's election -- in a large turnout of strongly pro-union student leaders convinced the board they couldn't win. In a similar situation last year, McGill University's principal H. Rocke Robertson stopped plans to discontinue fee collection for the student council when he also was confronted with a student show of solidarit a ainst his ro osal. ~:I l Chartered flight to Hong Kong Overseas students at Bishop's University are organizing a return chartered flight from Montreal to Hong Kong via San Francisco this summer.

If you guessed all of these, you are half-way there. Where? to allowing groups to help themselves, and not be dependent upon outside sources. You must allow and aid the building of independence, and freedom, whether of one individual, one group, one race or one nation. This was the sentiment of panels throughout the WUS International Week of Concern. It culminated in last Friday's discussion of poverty in Northwestern Ontario. About eighty people were physically there, but only half brought their minds. Ken Dawson, Department of Anthropology, status within our own country. "We need a regional government 1 to develop a policy with our people, to stop our lands being used as the private preserve of outsiders who at whim harvest the resources." The poor communication system of Northern Ontario easily reinforces our sense of isolation. Commercial broadcasting and news services continually look inward into the area, creating a static atmosphere, isolated from any real links with the outside world. This is perpetu• ated by the power structure in the Lakehead, which is similar to a family compact. There is no ownership of primary or secondary industry in the area. In fact there is no secondary industry • Why not? Because of the nature of our industry, workers must be mobile, seasonal, or subject to dislocation. Young people find it easy to leave. Those who stay become public charges, in the Buddy Sault, from the CYC applied this to the Indian people. "You cannot help us. There is no way that you can help us. "Your white brothers have brought in people from the East. That is like sending me to Finland to work with the Finns • I don't know their ways and they don't know ours." It is not for the white man to help the Indian with what the white man has labelled The Indian Problem. It is for the white man to destroy the obstacles which prevent the native people from working out their own solutions. The white man must allow the native people freedom to develop in a way which they themselves define. It is not for the middle class person to administer doles of Aspirinized social welfare cheques. It is for the middle class person to help the poverty-stricken of Northern Ontario to organize themselves into meaningful attion grows _where are the solut·1ons7 outlined historically why poverty and flourishes in Northern Ontario:stillman no longer adapts himself to nature; instead, out· side "experts" have come in, and keep coming in, to extract our natural resources, foisting an unnatural alien dependence on outsiders rather than on ourselves. Millie Fiorito, of the Company of Y rung Canadians, further explained this. The MidCanada Corridor proposes that all of them in Southern Canada shall "gird their loins and stiffen their spines and mpve up to the north."

Dale Torrie, a former social worker ~ith the Children's Aid Society, denounced the present set-up of all social welfare agencies. They perpetuate existing problems by helping the individual to cope with his 'difficulties, rather than encouraging the individual to see the underlying causes of why his problems •exist, and enabling him to alleviate these root causes.

It is necessary for students at this university to define their own struggles, and, working side-by-side, and handin-hand, with other oppressed groups, confront the common enemy which imposes itself on us. The canmon enemy is the foreign owners of industry and education. Suddenly it was 5:30, and because someone (?) had decided that when this time came, the session ·was over, those who had left their minds stowed in their lockers, moved en masse to the exits. The others, who were beginning to learn and to dialogue, questionned the ar• bitrary power that refused to allow a real learn• ing experience to continue. But they left too. The Cultural Revolution in China Last week fifty people listened to Ray Wylie, a Canadian who spent two years in China as an English instructor, speak on "The Cultural Revolution In China." The talk was part of the program for International Week of Concern organized by the local committee of the World University Service Committee. Wylie first pointed out three important aspects of the revolution: • -Intellectual independence from European bourgeoise and Soviet communism. •Mao Tse-tung as the only true heir to Marx, Lennin and Stalin. •China reassured to be a peasant orientated country. He went on to compare the type of communism in China under Mao Tse-tung with that in Russia. He illustrated that Mao is attempting to reconstruct the social system of China into a purer form of communism based on the original principles of Marx, Lennin and Stalin. Mao feels the most important goal in China is to build a strong social country, not necessarily an Utopia, but a country for the people themselves. This explains why the present Red Army was able to defeat the previous Kuomintang Army. The Red Army knew how and why to fight. Within the army there is no rank or privileges. The men live and work with the people. Lin Piao, Mao's possible successor, emphasizes political education along Mao's principles in the army. To bring this out, Wylie repeated the words of Marshall Lin: • "Let the whole army become a school of Mao". After the lecture the floor was opened to discussion. In answer to the question whether Mao Tse-tung had won the cultural revolution, Wylie answered in the affirmative and went on to point out many positive achievements in communist China since Mao's take over in 1949. Asked about the population and birth control situation in China, he said the present population of 750 million in China is increasing at a rate of 1.5 million per year. Birth control is on a voluntary basis. He ended the meeting by saying "China is now moving into world politics. There is no doubt that she has a lot that can be contributed to all the nations of the world. Following Wylie's discussion there was a film of Dr. Paul Lin, a Canadian born Chinese professor at McGill, speaking of China today in relation to the rest of the world. Dr. Lin pointed out that it is now necessary to recognize China as a world power. Asked about the possibility of atomic threats to the Western World by the present Chinese regime, he answered that the Chinese are peace loving and would not attack any country unless first threatened. He pointed out that the building of atomic armament in China is purely defensive. Dr. Lin feels the Chinese people are enjoying more freedom under communistic rule than ever before. They are enjoying a freedom of criticizing government officials, equality of all classes, equal distribution of labour and wages as well as freedom of speech to a certain extent. Dr. Lin also described the Chinese form of democracy in the communes. He said that in the communes, the discussion preceding a vote is most important. The people get very much involved in the issues and eventually one candidate for election becomes the obvious choice. Often his opponents drop out before the vote is taken. Dr. Lin said this often gives Westerners a picture of totalitarianism, Chairman Mao �the end This is the end for another year. This is the time the ARGUS staffers crawl out of the ·si-n bin and into the library to try to catch up on the studying the rest of you have been doing all year (theoretically). But perhaps we've learned something from working on the ARGUS. And perhaps you've learned something from reading it. If so, our tame wasn't wasted. The ARGUS is indebted to a11 the staff who gave so much of their time to put it together, the many students (and even some administrators) who turned in copy unasked and Guide Publishers, who managed to get every issue here on time and in good shape. It has been a quiet year for Lakehead, compared to some other universities in Canada. We hope we have kept you informed with major student news. We hope we will be able to dig deeper next year. To this end, we hope more students will participate in the ARGUS next year, for the ARGUS is a student paper, and we are far from being a clique. There is about an 80% turnover of staff each year, and very few staffers know one another before meeting at the office. ..

In this letter l wish to thank . all the organizations, speakers and students who participated and helped to make the week (in my esti• mation) a worthwhile project. To the few people who gave much of their time to the making of posters, and to the publicizing of the week, I do hones tly say "i t was a job well done." The above things were made possible; despite the fac t that the ARGUS played down the week as much as possible; despite the fact that our posters which· were stuck up i n the main cafeteria, in advertently fell to the ground, (I may add here a political pos ter was placed up instead) despite the fact that the black· board which was always in front of the Un iversityTheatre mysteriously disappeared on Monday morning, only to re• appear on Thursday to be used by another club. The propaganda machine that was initiated by a hand· ful of so-called "straight people", to smear WUS as being a radical movement which is existing for the mere sake of creating trouble, culminated to the grave:;,t proportions during the Week of Concern. As a passing comment I can only say that I will rather associate with the few "hippies" or "yippies" or whatever name you wish to call those members of WUS who are very sincere in their convictions, rather than be caught up in the web of hypocrisy that exists in the circle of some of these "straight" people. If during the Week of CQn• cern, we were able to initiate dialogue, so that people could be more aware of existing con • ditions the world over, then the time that was spent to make such a week possible would not have been wasted. Sincerely, Khalid Ali ( Chairman of WU S) Editor's Note: The time was not wasted. We are sorry you feel the ARGUS •·played down" the Congrats Dear Sir: Please allow me to take this opportunity to congratulate you on your recent elect• ion to die AMS Council.

Also, the week before International Week, we did not publish a paper, due to reading week. Massive coverage two weeks 'n advance would have been wasted. Student cafeteria Dear People: Got compl aints about the quality of food in the campus cafeteria? Why not operate it your• self? According to Bob Glide, former cafeteria manager, profits in the 1967-68 season were in excess of .$17,000; all of which went to Versa-foods. Why should this profit not go to a student oriented and organized body? Student labour could be employed on a full or part time basis. Then we would have no one to com• plain to but ourselves. If the AMS is not willing to do this the SDU is. It has made sufficient studies to determine that student takeover of this cafeteria is econ· omically feasible. What do your think? What do you want? Should students be allowed to run their own cafeteria? sou. �r i...· - - Marines called to Fakehead University About 12,000 American marines were rushed to Fake• head last night to quell a violent student uprising at the university. The trouble began when several students violently rose from their seats and questioned their professor in a Sociology class. The pro· fessor complained to the administration, who set. up a committee to look into the alleged outbreak of thinking. Three students disagreed with the committee's term of reference, and after three week's failure to change the committee, occupied a broom closet. "But we'll make a clean sweep of them," commented President Tam Lynn, "F,U, administration will not stand for such violent 'disruption of the uni ver si ty." Several students occupied amen's washroomin sympathy with the closeted three, but the marines quickly flushed them out. • Before calling in the ltlar• ines, F .u. administration indicated the three students might be armed to the teeth, could have connections with inttrnational communism, and might be agents of the yellow peril. The administratim report said no one knew if the stu· dents had poison gas or other unknown communist superweapons. No on~ could prove for certain that bacterial agents could not be ·brought in, or that unknown earthquakemakers could not spill Fakehead into the lake. The report stressed that the administration had no concrete indications of violence, had tried every means of reasoning with the students but was forced into calling in the marines to avoid violence. Rumour has it that the students have- heavy cannon. But fortunately the marines are prepared with howitzers to level the area around the closet before going in. Folly Lake .Bridge ·u nder construction Administration committee studying outbreak of thinking at Fakehead University. A Report was given out to• day on the progress of the Folly Lake Bridge. President Tam Lynn announced that the -work force had reached a total of plus 2,000labourers, some of whom are only capable of working part time. The Folly Lake Bridge is designed to span the wide blue expanse of Folly Lake from side to side. Feasibility studies indicated that the most economi- cal method of spanning the distance was to have the bridge built across the lake. Construction was first de• layed until the foundations had been dug by hand, a tradition at Fakehead University. The plastic and chrome design was chosen in a con• test promoted by the AMS, Structural difficulties are anticipated in placing the centre pylons. Folly Lake is only seven inches deep. Where the news happens, the aarl'gg is Whenever the news happens, that's where the AARRGG is. Last night it was happening at the heart of the greatest maze of engineering and architectu· ral genius in the history of mankind and Fake• head University •· the new cafeteria complexity, cum companion monstrosity to the newly completed Sentorial Building. Leader of the safari into the deepest tamed wilds of the hitherto-untravelled-by-student-feet maze, Tim Timorous, said the maze was simply amazing. . "The maze was simply amazing", said Tim. He went on to comment on the overwhelming accumulation on all manner of accessories, like bicycle chains, copper piping, and dust. ''There is an overwhelming accumulation of all manner of accessories", he said, "Including bicycle chains, copper piping, and dust." Another member of the expedition, Willi otherwise known as Willi or by her friends as Spud, went to Great Lengths in describing the great qualities of grey dust. When questioned by the AARRGG on her experiences during the whirl wind tour of the thing, she went to Great Lengths (who was also on the expedition) who concurred with her judgement that the qualities of the quantities qualitatively could qualify for the classification as grey dust, although he would rather call it greyish dust, "I would rather call it greyish dust,., he said. Great Lengths, a distant relative of Grate Lakes, noted primarily for his nauseous odour, had little else to say about what transpired between the time the team trooped from the AARRGG underground office into the unknown, sort.of like a bad TV commercial, or worse, like a bad TV series. '~ARRGG", he said The fact-finding team discovered, among other things, staircases which led to other staircases, ~taircases which led to big hples which dropped the team back to the bottom of the staircases, staircases which led to upstairs and staircases which led to downstairs. "I believe that life is all about things like that, and sundry ~ther relevent and unrelated mortals that gluinp and flurb up down and around wifflewump", said Grate Lakes, when questioned about an unrelated item, but that's alright, anyway, sort of. Copper piping 1ying on the floor of what could be an underground cafeteria, but which also could be the home for FU's new collection of copper piping, was especially well-noted by the expeditionary force. "We could take that and sell it to a scrap metal dealer", said the leader, who did not actually see the goods, "And make. a profit on a minimum of expended energy, or manhours.'' But on third thought, the piping was six feet long and the doors were only three feet wide, so the crew couldn't get it out, at least not un• til morning when the workers came in, and the .force could borrow their hacksaws, but it was a F-riday night and the workers had the weekend off, so th·a t would mean staying there to make sure no one stole the loot until Monday at least, or maybe Tuesday, because maybe the workers didn't even get that far into the interior of the thing until Tuesday, because it takes them just about a whole day to get back out again, once they get in, and besides there was no food for the girl member of the expedition, and she had to make it back to the inhabited areas of the University before her next. class so she could make a point of skipping it, for she even had a bicycle on which to place the bicycle chains found in the deserted, under-construction-looking place of wonder and awe, where the toilets aren' t even hooked up, and the holes go from one floor to another, and things like that, so they came back because everyone does sooner or sooner. But as they struck another match to see where they weren't going. they suddenly and in a spark of light realized that the workmen would not be in on Monday, nor on Tuesday, at least not at the rate the strike was being settled, so they sat down on the dust which surpasses all description and proceeded to describe it. "I think such a word as 'it' should be better defined", said Great Lengths. "Yes, but I think first you should be better defined." said the leader, who no one on the the expedition, if you will allow the use of that term, had decided who it was. So they sat on the something which sure looked and smelled and felt like grey dust, and tried to define a Great Length. "Seven inches", said the leader, who thought he was leader. "Maybe even ten inches", said another echo. cont'd, over I-' �I • aarrgg news continued I Where the news happens, the aarrgg is. . . this is copper tubing.

That is the name of the AMS (Alma Mater Society or students union) gave to what is really registration time. And that is how the AMS started off for most students-· little or no significance at all. However, in retrospect orientation did make a start considering the number of people available to work on it. Out-going AMS President Peter McCormack's suggestion of starting now on orientation and the possibility of hiring an orientation chairman for part of the summer might bring more results. The next issue where stu• dents met the AMS Council was the Bus Issue--that memorialday in the auditorium with the students rejecting the council's plan--and then the confidence vote. But the bus service did improve . in the end. The, original push came from outside the council, and much of the work was done by stu· dents other than councillors, but student participation is what we want. As Peter McCormack said in his annual report, "The Bus Issue is a bad memory, although it is the issue this year which produced satisfactory results." Speaking of transportation problems there was also the parking issue. This arose when the administration suggested that students be fined for improper parking. Several sturealized that they were paying a large part of the ~ost for attendants to keep students out of the faculty and administration lots. The idea of democratization of the parking lots came to mind and a committee was formed to implement the same. Among the actions of this committee was a petition with nearly 1000 signatures. However, this issue got lost somewhere between the University Committee, the Faculty Association, the administration and winter. cus Then also the CUS (Canadian Union of Students) issue required some political thought and time from Council. How difficult political discussion was for them. They started by deciding we needed a referendum. Before this could be held, however, they launched a debate of the resolutions of the Guelph Congress. A special Sunday afternoon meeting was called for this puq>ose, during which elitism and a grandiose plan to study this was debated but no reso• lutions were dealt with. Then Council tried again, this time allotting part of each regular meeting to the task. The Declaration of the Canadian Student was accepted but the resolutions based on it received a rather inconsistent response from council. This attitude, on the part of Council in general, brought about the resignations of four of the more politically minded councillors. Out of these resignations came Town Hall, This is a . valuable concept and should be used in future to keep Council in touch with the students and to debate important issues. However, Town Hall got ~gged down in structural red tape and faded into nothing. Poverty in the West Indies by Keith Clarke Poverty in the West Indies was the topic Thursday during the World University Service Committee's Week of Concern. A panel of West Indian students discussed the poverty situation in their own countries and what could be done about it. Curtis Mc Sween outlined the poverty conditions in Trinidad as less severe than in most of the other islands, due to Trinidad's oil resources. "Actually poverty in the West Indies, explaiµed from a historical point ·of view, is one of colonialism where the greatest part of the profits are exported from the island. There fore the native people have no chance to make use of these profits." Michael Brown said of St. Vincent that slaves brought from Africa to work the plantations constitute the bulk of the peasants who remain very poor, unable to buy adequate supplies of food. ◄ 'There is no free secondary education in St. Vincent. Most parents cannot afford to educate their children past the primary level and the higher educations go to children mainly in the upper class." "There is a great deal of political exploitation of the electorate, which consists mainly of the lower class, and nothing is done to alleviate their poverty." George Goodwin said Antigua has recently suffered from severe droughts which caused much damage to the banana crops. He noted that Antigua is a very "Americanized" is• land with mostly American in· vestments and industries. "Antigua is reputed to be one of "the most beautiful islands in the West Indies. Thus the government is exploiting tourism which is cutting down the labor force, and those experienced with working the land are out of work and must emmigrate to other islands." Winston Rennie, chairman of the discussion, pointed out held around Chi;istmas or that a U.N. report described Carnival time when they want Trinidad as having one of the the people to have lots of highest economic growths in money. "The American government the world. He asked the panel to reconcile this growth with is afraid of the islands becoming Socialist states with the po"erty ·situation.

"Most of the money," he said would lose their huge profits.)

''In Trinidad the workers black man learns a higher job, are denied the right to strike, and is ready for advancement, thus eliminating any chance a white man is brought in fo of gaining a greater share of take the job. Often the black man must teach the white man these profits and perpetuating the job first. their poverty." Angela Winchester attacked Rennie added, "An overthe churches and the schools seas company can set up an industry in Trinidad tax-free in the West Indies for helping for five years.

"This," added Rennie, government designs crash building programs such as "will be our job when we go roads and bridges. These are home to our countries." With the beginning of Town Hall, Council passed off the CUS resolutions to it. They remained for the rest of the year unfinished. However, the referendum was held and LU remains in CUS. The AMS Council also played what has come to be known across Canada as the Chief Justice game. The first LU match in this game featured Rene Larson who was asked to resign because his competence was questioned despite the fact that a special committee could find no in· competence on .his part. The charges followed Larson's firing of Prosecutor Art Looye and Looye's charge that it was the Judicial ·committee and not him that should go for incompetence. Then after the Christmas break, Council got to play the game again--this time with Mike Barkwell, following his exam week escapade in the lower cafeteria. Barkwell came off better than Larson, being· able to weather the storm. He remains Chief Justice until the new executive makes its appointments. As McCormack said in his annual report this committee "could justifiably be called a farce upon general reflection of the extraordinary number of persons who came and went." The second match in the Justice game also focused on some interesting procedural matters in -the Council meet• ings. The problem .was· partly that the Chairman was someone other than the AMS President, not even a councillor, Council with the assistance of this chairman had engaged in some fancy footwork that was of questionable legality, but they finally readjusted to conform somewhat more to their own rules, and the President resumed the chair. Now we turn to an issue that has been with Council all year--the Senate. Early in the fall Council presented a brief asking for representation on the Senate sub-committees and openness in the Senate. In October the Senate responded with the offer of Senate sub-committee positions and the offer of three student seats on the 30-odd member Senate, but no open ness. Council appointed the representatives to the subcommittee after asking for nominations from the student body. A footnote to Subcommittees is a comment made by McCormack in his report, "Either there have been few meetings or else we have not received notice of them." Senate Openness Council rejected the offer of student seats on Senate because of their policy of not sitting on boards with closed nie·e tings. The Senate has not made any moves since. The issue has been brought periodically for discussion in Council, once on the request of_ President Tamblyn, only to be shelved again. Dennis Wallace, the new AMS President, is preparing a new brief on Senate openness and representation. However, at present the Senate remains closed and without students. It is one of the few in Canada without student Senatas and seems reluctant to join the list with open meetings. (at least 17 across Canada.) We now have a new exe• cutive and eleven councillors, One wonders what kind of political discussions will be carried on by this Council, who will .resign, . if anyone, whether students one year from now will be more involved in academic decision making than now because of Council's actions.

The program which will be administered by a new school of Physical and Health Education within the University Schools division, will require four academic years after Ontario grade 13.

The L.U. girls showed their superior ability in the first half with a half time margin of nine points. In the second half they slowed down as the Kangas Queens put on the drive, but L.U. managed to keep the lead to finish with a 40 to 37 score.

With that in mind, he adds that a $500 reward will be offered for information leading to the recovery and/or arrest/conviction of the culprits. To the question of whether there are any case leads apart from the video, Mr. Murray replied, "No. Nothing has been provided to me by the police. It's their investigation because of the amount of the theft." The television was valued at around $5,000 and if caught, the suspects could be charged with grand theft. As to whether security would be making any changes, particularly regarding security in the ATAC building, he responded, "There are no changes we plan to make to security. That's up to someone higher than me." Good news for amateur actors, though: Mr. Murray said the possibility existed of the case being put on Crimestoppers, a local news .segment where crimes are re-enacted through dramatization. Anybody with information regarding the theft can contact Crimestoppers at 623-8477, the Thunder Bay Police Department at 6841200, or LU Security at 3438569.

Argus News Volunteers needed: fundraising for Tsunami Aid Relief Ashliegh Gehl The Multicultural Centre, located in the tunnels between LUSU and the Gender Issues Centre, has set a goal of raising $5,000 for the victims of the earthquake and tsunami that recently devastated thirteen countries. Lakehead has over 6,000 students; if everyone donated a dollar this goal could be reached. In order to make this a reality, the Multicultural Centre is looking for volunteers that will help fundraise; so your thoughts, your hands, and your passion are needed. If you would like to help with this project, please visit the center anytime between Monday and Thursday from 8:30am to 4pm. If you do not have time to help fundraise, there will be donation box~s all over campus. These boxes can be found at LUSU, the Outpost, the Study, Tim Horton's, and in the secretary offices of your faculty. If you do not feel comfortable donating in the boxes, please visit the international Red Cross website (http://www.redcross.org/donate/ donation-form.asp) to donate online. If you think that you cannot afford to donate at this take, take into consideration the words of Anne Frank, "No one has ever become poor from giving." However, if you cannot donate money, there are other goods that are greatly needed; such as clothing, shoes, and building materials. On Wednesday, January 12th, there will be an open mic night starting at about 8pm in the Study. At this event, donations of any kind are welcoine; every contribution, whether it is educating one another on the disaster, or donating time, money, and needed materials, makes a significant difference. Sometime during the day, perhaps during a break between classes, visit the friendly faces at the Multicultural Centre to lend a hand, share your ideas, or keep up to date on up coming events. On that final note, here are some words from Winston Churchill: "We make a living by what get, but we make a life by what we give."

Tom Peotto/Argus Hours before, in western Baghdad, a bomb-laden truck drove into a police checkpoint and was detonated in the Green Zone, the location of the U.S. Embassy and the interim government's headquarters. This explosion occurred right next to the Iraqi National Guards barracks, where the interim government's paramilitary forces are trained. The explosion killed six people and wounded 40. Attacks have intensified in recent months as militants attempt to undermine the provisional government and the upcoming elections, slated for Sunday, January 30th • On Monday, January 3111, insurgents caused an explosion outside Prime Minister Ayad Allawi's party headquarters, killing three and injuring 25. Like Allawi, al-Haidari was targeted for his cooperation with American forces. Since last summer's official transfer of power to interim government by the Americans, al-Haidari was the most senior official to be assassinated. Government officials are finally admitting that the six central and northern provinces with a Sunni Muslim majority (the minority under Saddam Hussein) have near-daily outbreaks of violence. Speaking on conditions of anonymity, a senior U.S. Embassy official in Baghdad told the press, "The war's worse, the insurgency's worse... This is not going to be a short fight. Nobody should think it is." Conditions have deteriorated to the extent that Prime Minister Allawi, who told Washington three months ago that 15 of Iraq's 18 provinces were safe to visit, now refers to the situation as "our catastrophe."

Released this past September, the study entitled The Price of Knowledge: Access and Student Finance in Canada, combines existing and original research to examine key issues surrounding student access to post-secondary studies. Over the past IO years, tuition has increased by 76 percent with an average student debt of $21,000. For Canadians from low-income backgrounds, fee increases make it progressively more difficult to overcome the existing obstacles to a post-secondary education. However, according to the report, these rapidly rising tuition fees and increased needs for student loans have not had a significant impact on students' accessibility to Canadian universities. The study reveals that university enrolment has increased by more than 20 percent in the last five years alone, while average annual tuition costs and debt load have climbed. Sean Junor, one • of the study's authors, believes that barriers keeping students from pursuing post-secondary education are more than just rising tuition fees. He cited higher admission requirements, as well as social and cultural costs. Several student leaders and student groups have criticized the report for minimizing the importance of tuition on accessibility. Joel Duff, former Ontario chairperson of the Canadian Federation of Students, is concerned about the accuracy of the study. "By denying the negative impact of increasing tuition fees and soaring student debt on students from middle and lower socioeconomic backgrounds, the Foundation - i~ providing an study, following up 1995 data, resulted in an increase from 23 to 36 percent of students who cited financial reasons for not attending university. The authors used two factors to determine changes in overall access to education: This study, recently released by the Millennium Scholarship Foundatio11 suggests that increased tuition costs does not affect eost-secondar_y enrollment levels alibi for a further deterioration in access to higher education." Liam Arbuckle, the national director of the Canadian Alliance of Student Associations, agrees with Duff. His biggest concern is with the antiquated data, noting that many of the statistics used in the report date as far back as the 1980s, before most of the major tuition increases and the deregulation of many programs. A 2000 the number of people who are attending school and the demographics of those people. Overall, the study found that greater numbers of young people are attending university, with the largest percentage increase occurring in families from the middle-income range. Arbuckle states that there is a misunderstanding that "just because the number of students attending university is increasing does not mean there is no problem with students being able to afford university." Duff compares paying for education with paying for groceries. "People do not stop eating just because they have no money." He points out that more and more students are realizing that they must go to university, despite limited financial resources, in order to earn a middle-class • income. Recent Statistics Canada research points out that today, 85% of all families desire post-secondary education for their children; however, less than 20% of those from lower socio-economic backgrounds will attend university. According to Provost Shirley Neuman, the report underscores what univers1t1es already know. "It is important to note that while 90 percent of families • expect to qualify for government loans, in reality only half receive them." Student leaders have argued that there is a much greater need for governments to take meaningful steps to reduce tuition fees, create a system of up-front needs-based grants, an<;! restore education funding. The • study was conducted by the Canada Millennium Scholarship Foundation, established in I 998 by Parliament with a ten-year mandate to improve access to post-secondary education. Most of the foundation's $2.5 billion endowment is directed towards providing approximately $289 million per year in grants to undergraduate students in Canada with financial need.

Layton disc_ussed many issues that were of interest to Canadians at large, and students Federal NIDP leader Jack,Layt<>n address a crowd of students in The Stud leader Jack Layton to The Study on Friday, December 3rd , 2004. Layton was in Thunder Bay, and had just come from delivering an address at the Victoria Inn. As per the party's in particular. The predominant themes of Layton's short presentation and the subsequent question and answer period were the relations between Canada and the United States, the state of the environment and the challenges facing Canadian students. "If enough of us make a little bit of a difference, a big change can happen." _ Layton touched on student debts; and the 'brain drain' phenomenon, citing both as proof that the Canadian government should invest more money into post-secondary education. Layton ended his address with a message of strength for students trying to make their communities, their nation and their world a better place. "The solutions are there. They're exciting. You're the ones that are going to make them happen." On January 7'\ the Lakehead Young Liberals held their_first fundraising dinner, with such guests as MP Ken Boschoff and MPP Michael Gravelle. While the event was not as well attended as Young Liberal President James Bowie had hoped, those present were enlightened with a number of speeches. Nathan Hewitson, of the Lakehead Young Liberals, spoke of the importance of youth being involved in politics. Fadi Dawood, Vice President Finance of the Lakehead Young Liberals spoke of the glory of democracy, reflecting on his time growing up in Iraq, stating that one can really understand the ·'importance of democracy when you live m a country without freedom. MPP Gravelle stressed the importance of youth involvement in politics. Gravelle stated that through the youth • 55-Year-Old puts wolf in headlock Tom Peotto/ Argus A uranium-mill worker owes his survival of a New Year's Eve wolf attack to knowledge of proper winter dress and application of wrestling techniques. Fred Desjarlais, 55, had completed his shift at Cameco Corporation's Key Lake uranium mill, 640 km north of Saskatoon, and was eager to prepare for New Year's. At7pm,hehadtwooptions: either wait for the shuttle bus, or travel on foot to the camp three kilometers away. He chose to jog. Suddenly, he heard a noise behind him and saw a wolf "limping" towards him from a ditch. Describing the wolf as having "a big mouth and a big head," he later said the wolf "was taunting me, (walking) in a circle around me. I looked around real quick and thought, 'I hope he's alone."' His attempts to scare the beast away proved fruitless when it lunged at his head. He dodged that attack ("That's when I knew he meant business,"), and another one, but then the wolf bit his shoulder. As he was wearing several layers of clothing, he only suffered severe bruises. The wolf then bit him, as the Canadian Press put it, "twice in the pelvis." Man and wolf both fell to the ground and got back up. Luckily, Desjarlais seized an opportunity, leaped on the wolf's back, and put it in a headlock. "I pulled him down the way you would take down cattle --------------, Fred Desjarlais shows off his wounds after wrestling a wolf on New Years' Eve (for roping) and I dropped onto his head, pinning him there." Fortunately it didn't tum into a test of endurance- 30 or 40 seconds later, the shuttle bus passed by, and several of his co-workers chased the wolf into the bush. Cameco's Key Lake Security Officer, Kimm Barker, called Mr. Desjarlais "a remarkable man," and said the wolf"wasn't a very smart wolf because of all the people it could have picked, it chose one of the strongest." Speaking to the press while recuperating at home in Saskatoon, Mr. Desjarlais summarized his dramatic ordeal: "I don't know what came over me or how I did it. All I know is I had his head and I wasn't letting go until someone came to help me." He felt no bitterness towards the wolf: "He wasn't a young, healthy one. If he was, he wouldn't have been there. He wouldn't have done what he did. It was just an older wolf that was doing what he had to do to _survive and I just reacted, thank God, the way I did and survived it." Unprovoked wolf attacks are extremely rare in North America, with only a handful of documented instances. In those cases, the assailant is usually rabid, starving, or a wolf-dog hybrid possessing the dog's blase attitude towards humans.

The Bowater pulp and paper plant here in Thunder Bay is a major employer and major producer of revenue for the city and I hope Bowater continues its business here for many, many years and many generations to come In 2004 Bowater employs 1,084 positions, uses about 180 megawatts of electricity, grinds Boreal trees to make paper, newsprint, cardboard and pulp mostly for export to our brothers and sisters in the United States of America. At the moment Ontario and Canada are harvesting our forests faster than nature can re-grow them so we have an economy based on an unsustainable reality. With the Kyoto Protocol becoming effective in early 2005 the international community is signalling that our current energy systems are not working. I would agree. I would also suggest that our material systems are not working either. All material that surrounds us including paper from Bowater is designed for one use before going to the landfill.

I am a frequent user of the library and the services they have to offer and in all fairness their services have been pleasantly delivered in the past until I met the Supervisor of the Circulation Desk. This particular fellow is rude, arrogant and indifferent. I had a particular complaint and was referred to him being that he is- the supervisor. He happened to be standing right there and his response to my concern was "that's impossible, we are not going to do anything about it". I was taken aback by his rude response and let hirh know that I will go to his supervisor to report his attitude and his response was "go ahead, you won't be the first one anyway." about him, I am wondering if student complains just go unheard. Hello! Does anyone care? He gives Lakehead University a really bad name and as an employee representing the school, something needs to be done about his pathetic attitude.

To the writer of the "Bring back the death penalty" article (Nov. 22), I feel nothing but disgust for the way you think. There are an astonishing number of innocent people ' who have been killed for crimes they did not commit or have been sentenced to die only later to be discovered innocent. There is a reason why Canada abolished the death penalty, you know, it is because it's a disgrace to us. We are looked up to by other nations for our civil and humane way of living, unlike the U.S whose execution rate is higher than ever. Saying that "all COMPUT Monday 10th to Fri Pentium 3 128 Ram Windows 98 8 gig Hard Drive For more details come to LUSU murderers should • be eligible for the death penalty" and rehabilitation is "sissy" is not a good example of the values we share as a first world, civil country. Likewise, I'm not going to stop whining, you may have a right to your opinion, but I have a right to mine too, and I'm not going to shut up about it because you tell me too. The death penalty was abolished in Canada for a reason, and if you do not like it, I suggest you move to Texas. I'm sure you'll love it their. We Canadians have not built our reputation on showing our governments power over people or flexing our muscles, like the wonderful nation below us has. We help each other, not kill each other; because that is the kind of society we live in. People make mistakes; it doesn't mean they deserve to die for it. Sure, serial killers and dangerous offenders should never be released from prison, but killing them is not the answer. This is what makes us better than the United States.

I have explained it in this cold bureaucratic fashion because that is how the government views marriage, not Marriage, a sacrament within a church. As I have already stated, the Supreme Court absolved all responsibility of any religious institution to perform marriage ceremonies they do not wish to. (This already exists; the Roman Catholic Church does not have to marry anyone who has been divorced.) I understand the religious argument that people do not support homosexuality based on their religious convictions but this is about law and rights not about religion. I understand that not everyone is in support of Equal Marriage but I ask that you look as it from an Equal Rights standpoint and put all else aside. If you would like to show your support more visibly, all next week in the Agora you can either volunteer or find volunteers handing out buttons, literature and petitions in support of Equal Marriage. Please do not hesitate to come down to Pride Central to learn more about Equal Marriage and discuss any issue. ALL are welcome regardless of sexual orientation or opinion.

Sometimes it even seems like the planet itself is out to get us, a point reinforced by the deadly tsunami that struck Southeast Asia in late December. In fact, natural disasters have been greater mass-killers than any war yet waged or terrorist act committed. Consider the recent tsunami which left more than 150,000 dead so far and the number still nsmg. By comparison, that's more than eight times the number of people killed so far in the Iraq conflict, and forty-three times the number who died in 9/11. Tsunamis aren't the only natural disasters out there with the potential to cause a massive loss of lives. Here are a few of the threats that come from our very own planet (and one from beyond).

I hope everyQDe had a relaxing break. I'm sure that for many people, upon seeing their friends for the first time after Christmas, one of the first questions asked was "What did you get?" A natural question I suppose. Now, I personally asked for nothing for Christmas. I did this as a protest against the consumerism that Christmas has become entwined with. Failing people not spending money on my behalf at Christmas I asked that the money be donated to a worthy charity so that others could enjoy Christmas and so that the money could be used to make the world a better place. Sadly, both of these requests were ignored. Why? Because the people buying presents for me felt it would be unfair ifpeople around me received gifts and I didn't ... despite the fact that I requested no gifts. Now, I don't mean to sound ungrateful. I appreciate the sentiment with which the gifts were given but for me, the . same sentiment could have been achieved with no money spent, or money spent on people that really need it. Now, I want you to think back and recall how many people may have complained about a gift they received over the holidays. Just think about that poor to begin with. They lacked for a second. How many people infrastructure so there is nothing forgot that they were with family to rebuild upon. UNICEF is or friends and that someone cared facing difficulties in its efforts enough to go get something for to provide adequate nutrition to them?

Twenty percent of the world's population consumes eight percent of the world's resources. We are part of that twenty percent. We are not doing enough to help the victims of catastrophes around the world. Sure, we are sending money and supplies to Asia now, but what about in a few months when the vast majority of the population forgets about tsunamis? I encourage people to give their support to the relief efforts now but I also encourage people to continue supporting change in the world.

There were some amazing bands that trekked far and wide, making their way here from all comers of the globe just to make us happy and play. The fall was kicked off with a bang, as it usually is, with lots of rock action. We saw homegrown heroes The Golden Dogs come back for a visit at the Apollo, The Illuminati with C'mon made waves, Billy and the Lost Boys showed us that girls know how to rock, and Dayglow Abortions proved they're still punks at heart. Warp 9 was jumping in October, with Planet Smashers and Staggered Crossing both putting on amazing shows.

Billy Talent were the winners of Best New Artist at the 2004 Juno Awards, forcing people to stand up and stare. The local show took place on Sunday, October I 0th and unlike very few concerts by Canadian rock bands, was sold out a few weeks before the show.

Last but certainly not least, Gob played a free show at Warp 9 on November 26th • The show was part of an anti-smoking campaign put on by the Ministry of Health.

Again. .• Conrad KoczorowskV Argus It was a night of opera and soccer at the 2004 World Player Galas in Italy. As the VIP crowd was overcome by the emphatic orchestra, some of the most inspirational players of the World Game walked across the stage, either as presenters of the awards, or as recipients. So all in all, there was a lot of 'samba' in the air that night. There are a few problems I have with the Gala. Perhaps my biggest problem is with the nomination of Ronaldihno to the top-prize, over Thierry Henry. Without going into an excessive The still a young player and could be recognized in future seasons. I think the biggest issue here is what tak"es . more precedence, club or international playing?

The Terry Fox Run celebrates the 25 th Anniversary of Hope "If you've given a dollar, you are part of the Marathon ofHope." -Terry Fox Diana Co/etto/ Argus This past Sunday, Canada saw hundreds of thousands of supporters come out to participate in the annual Terry Fox Run. Over twelve thousand people ran the 13 kilometre stretch over the Confederation Bridge that connects New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island. The event is non competitive and aims to raise money and awareness for cancer. Over $360 million has been raised for cancer research in Terry's name since 1980. The money that has been raised has prompted many scientific discoveries: treatment's to save a child's eye, research on oncolytic viruses (now a main focus for the Terry Fox Foundation), and many other area~ that may have not had the opportunity for research. When Terry Fox, at the young age of 22, began his . Marathon of Hope in 1980, he ran 42 kilometres daily for 143 days until his cancer consl.nned him and he was unable to go beyond Thunder Bay. This year, Thunder Bay held the activities at local high school, St. Ignatius. The run was a successful event and participants enjoyed running, walking, rollerblading or bicycling along the 5km or 10km course. Lakehead University's own Residence Life supported the event by having a shuttle bus to and from campus in hope of encouraging students to come out. James Pilkington, a 3rd year outdoor rec/natural science student, believes the event is worth while: "It's an amazing cause and compared to what Terry did, it is the least we can do." Tracy Allie, a 2nd year con ed/ sociology student ran the 10km course stating, "It's a good way to get in shape and support cancer research." The event was ran by the Lakehead Rotary Club, and Don Morrison (organizer), felt the event was successful in all aspects. Even within the first hours of the morning, 747 participants had raised over $2300 for cancer research. Morrison already states the numbers are "double then last year." A great thank you goes to all who came out to participate and donate. As well, if you would like to make a donation to the Terry Fox foundation, please go to www.terryfoxrun.org more for information. What a To-Do!

The third floor of the West (Lakehead) Campus is not completed yet, but it is not behind schedule. That floor is for offices and was not scheduled for completion until the end of the calendar year. The East campus is not completed either, but at Laurentian they are a bit behind schedule. Dr. Hunt explained that while the Lakehead building was built from the bottom up, at Laurentian they did the opposite, so while the offices are completed, the classrooms are not. There are still some technology problems that need to be worked out. Faculty are also learning to teach medical students, and in a new environment. After the Grand Opening, which a committee for major events had been planning for a year, Dr. Hunt says that he is looking forward to a breathing spell during which they can settle in.

Consequently, very few students enjoy what Lakehead has to offer in the spring and summer months. One of the wonderful programs that the Lakehead University Student Union (LUSU) offers is an organic community garden. This garden has been around for two years and has a number of accomplishments under its belt. As anyone knows, accomplishments are usuall~ accompanied by set backs. One of the many accomplishments this year was the creation of a three bin composting system. This project was started in the garden's first year and was finally completed this year. The idea behind this system is to generate enough compost to maintain soil quality but also give students a place to four legged mammal- the deer. there all day long, so feel free to compost.

Drastic drops in support for President Bush show where much of the blame is being placed. This is largely due to the fact that he did not leave the vacation he was taking on his Texas ranch for several days, and did not visit the affected area for nearly a 'Yeek, causiI1,g critics to ponder the reasons why a more decisive and effective approach was not taken with the relief effort. To combat this negative image, President Bush has taken action. The director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) was first moved out of the region, and then resigned. This after . it was discovered that his only prior experience was overseeing horse shows, and that he had no actual experience or training with disaster relief. President Bush has assigned Dick Cheney to remove bureaucratic barriers to the relief effort, as well as to be a compassionate and human face for the people of New Orleans to identify with. Finally, the president stated that he accepts some of the responsibility; however most of the blame "rests on state and local authorities." One criticism that has been strengthened, rather than addressed in the past days is that of President Bush's disconnect with the underprivileged and people of ethnic minorities. According to a survey conducted by CNN, 60 percent of ethnic minorities in tne United States believe that the slow and ineffective response to the disaster was racially motivated compared to only 10 percent of Caucasians. This gap has been exacerbated by both critics and supporters of the President. Michael Moore stated that the reason for the loss of human life was not due to nature at all, but human error caused by "cultural and social pre·udice." Barbara Bush, the President's mother, has been quoted as stating: "What I'm hearing which is sort of scary, is they all want to stay in Texas. And so many of the people in the area here, you know, were underprivileged." These comments have served to create a sense of unease and discontent among the US populous, which is being expressed through poll numbers as low as 45 percent, an all time low for the President. No matter what rhetorical orators ·· are exchanging, with over 160 000 homes damaged beyond repair, and thousands dead, the polls indicate that voters are unhappy, and that could be reflected at the ballot box. those who donated the vegetables (Cattails, the Dilley's and JoAnne Henderson), the seeds and the organic gardening magazines. I would like to applaud the team that helped deliver the new shed . . . in one piece. A big thank you to Jeff Moore for his teachings and patience, Dr. Dilley and his family for lending us supplies when we needed them, Dr. Zaniewski for testing our soils and last but not least, Robert Martins and Ms. Jodi for their continuous support, hard labour and passion for gardening. I would also like to thank LUSU for having such a wonderful program that allows students to appreciate the finer things life provides. There is so much beauty in turning soil, sowing the smallest of seeds, watching with amazement all that blooms, and leaving th.e land with dirt stained hands. Thank you.

One participant suggested that programs at Universities which are specifically relevant to their surrounding areas should receive special attention. For instance, the new Medical School at Lakehead will play a vital role in the stability of communities Meet the Administration: Staff .ii ':\ · Argus News September 19, 2005 should he be visiting Lakehead. Bentley met with Krupper and VP Finance Chad O'Halloran. Krupper was disappointed in the minister's response to concerns that reduced funding for tuition fees will hurt Northern Ontario students more than Southern students because of lower wages in the North. The government is. reluctant to continue its current funding of tuition fees. After, as Krupper put it, they, "beat that one to death." The meeting took a tum for the student unions are incorporated bodies that can be pushed around by administrations. He points to incidents at Ryerson and York where student space is being co-opted and he adds that here at LU the Outpost is constantly under threat of being shut down. Krupper argues that administration does not fully respect student union leaders as elected representatives. The minister called rights for student unions one of their top three priorities. LUSU also raised concerns about northern funding and the Orillia campus with the minister. The discussion was cut short because of the minister's tight schedule. Krupper says that he will write a follow up report for the minister. It was a series of lightning fast visits, but the honourable Chris Bentley managed to cover quite a few bases while visiting the University last Monday. Included in his busy schedule were Dr. Fred Gilbert, Chairs and Presidents of Northern Colleges, LUSU executive, student leaders at Confederation College, the Aboriginal Support Center, and the Young~~~ Liberals of Lakehead University. The MPP from London West has not been on the job long; he was appointed to his ministerial position in June 2005.

"We are looking for people ", s • ", Lakehead September 19, 2005 5 Don't book that ad Publishers attempts to place ads in university textbooks are squashed by parent company s corporate policy Amanda-Marie Quintino The Eyeopener (Ryerson University) TORONTO (CUP) McGraw-Hill Ryerson quietly called off plans to place advertisements in university textbooks because of a "minor oversight" in its company policy. According to Tom Stanton, director of communications for McGraw-Hill Education, the Ryerson team in charge of the ad initiative was unaware of the policy conflict. "We don't permit advertising in textbooks," said Stanton. "When it was discovered that [Ryerson] was initiating this project, we immediately retracted it because it was in opposition to McGraw-Hill's corporate policy to include ads in our textbooks." McGraw - Hi 11 Ryerson is the Canadian subsidiary of McGraw-Hill Ltd. and is not related to Ryerson University. Although the companies publish separate material, they share administrative policies. Not all employees were aware of this when proposing the textbook ad initiative. When the initiative was launched, the company released a brochure in an attempt to receive support from potential advertisers. "Reach a hard-to-get target group where they spend all their parents' money," the brochure read. "Do you really think 18 to 24-year-olds see those on-campus magazine ads? Do you really think they coulq miss an ad that is placed in a well-respected textbook?" read the pamphlet. But before advertisers had the opportunity to show interest, McGraw-Hill Ryerson pulled out the rule book and cancelled the plans. Patrick Ferrier, president of higher educatio1_1 for McGraw-Hill Ryerson, said the initiative retraction was made some time in midJune, shortly after it had been made public. He was unable to provide an exact date. "The reality is that the Ryerson team just didn't know they were doing anything wrong," said Ferrier. "It still wasn't a fully developed plan at that point, so there was no harm done." But according to Gary Ruskin, executive director of Commercial Alert, the fact that McGraw- Hill Ryerson was • even making considerations to impose advertisements in the classroom is shameful. "Some places should be offlimits," said Ruskin, wh,o works to rid the nation's schools ofcorporate markJters. "Some things are too important to be for sale-that includes the classroom." Lana Petros, a third-year business marketing student insists that there are specific places for advertising and the classroom is not one of them. "I don't need to be exposed to commercialism in a J?lace of learning," she said. Business management professor Tarun Dewan is pleased with the initiative's cancellation. "Puttin& ads in textbooks would cause a dilution ofacademic integrity," he said. "It's very important to keep commercial interests out of universities as much as possible. Textbooks should not contain propaganda." According to Stanton, students and professors should not be concerned. McGraw-Hill Ryerson has no plans to change policy in order to accommodate textbook advertisements. The MEH Report Jake Satten and Tom Peotto And the award for Least Favourite Canadian ... Wait, this may give him one more thing to brag about. Brian Mulroney has long been suspected of being the greatest asshole to ever become Prime Minister, and now a new book by former friend, Peter C. Newman is adding weight to this argument. The Secret Mulroney Tapes is a 400-page word-for-word account of Brian Mulroney's rants, raves, and political musings that Newman has held for decades. Newman taped Mulroney in over 100 interviews over the span of many years. Some of these interviews took place while Mulroney was in office. To hear a P.M. speak like this is nothing less than astonishing - case in point, his advice to Kim Cambell, his successor as Prime Minister: "Keep Your Pecker up, Kim." In the book, Mulroney also rags on Canadian political heavyweights, such as Pierre Elliot Trudeau, calling him a "coward and a weakling"; on Jean Chretien, who, according to Mulroney is a "mean, dirty, and stupid bastard;" and ironically (and unwittingly), on himself, noting that "you'd fail as a leader if you allowed vindictiveness to enter your judgement." (JS) How about that award going to Karla instead? Karla Homolka, who by all accounts should be serving multiple life sentences, yet just finished an overly-merciful hot-tub and fling-filled 12 year sentence, is now seeking to reduce the restrictions placed on her parole. The restrictions, which Holmolka argues violate her constitutional rights, include reporting to police regularly, giving them notice if she is to leave Quebec, and avoiding contact with violent offenders. Family members of Homolka's victims are expected to argue against the 'schoolgirl killer' in her upcoming court appearance. Likely,-their argument will prevail. (JS) I/she can't be roaming the savannah, apparently the next best thing is the latest in exercise equipment Oh Maggie, how you've let your figure go! Treadmill shmeadmill, just eat Subway! Idaho-based Conveyor Engineering has gone where no company has gone before ... and created the first treadmill for elephants. Commissioned by the Alaska Zoo in Anchorage, AK for 4-tonne African elephant Maggie, whose last weigh-in showed her at over 400 kilograms overweight. The treadmill weighs 7,260 kg and is 6 metres long by 2.5 m wide. Zoo director Tex Edwards is optimistic, stating that Maggie "seems to enjoy new challenges." Assistant director'"l>at Lampi points out that treadmills have been built for race horses and racing camels, "but never for an elephant." At her August 2004 weigh-in, Maggie was about 455 kilograms overweight. Keepers have made changes to her diet and made her feeding more strenuous; to simulate the browsing and foraging which African elephants would do on the savannah, food is now hung from special structures in her paddock, which require her to reach and strain. Maggie has already lost about 410 kg thanks to these changes. Says Mr. Edwards; "We think it is possible that a lot of elephants around the world will find more regular exercise a beneficial addition to their lives." (TP) If I die, you can have my face Doctors at the Cleveland Clinic are planning to cross a medical frontier and perform the world's first face-transplant surgery. Dr. Maria Siemienow, a 55-year-old surgeon trained at Polish medical schools and with thousands of surgeries under her belt over the past 30 years, has acquired the clinic's approval to attempt the procedure after successful experiments with animals. The procedure involves routine microsurgery: the donor tissue (ie. the face of a cadaver) would be connected to the transplantee with one or two pairs of veins and arteries on each side of the face, 20 nerve endings being stitched together to restore movement and feeling, and tiny sutures to the scalp, neck, eyes, nose, and mouth. Critics point out that infections could turn the transplanted flesh charcoal-black and require replacement by skin grafts, or a second transplant. Drugs to prevent tissuerejection by the transplantee would be necessary for the rest of their life, and raise the risk of kidney cancer. Yet the procedure would only be performed in cases of extreme disfigurement and to prevent painful and disfiguring skin grafts, says Dr. Siemienow. "I hope nobody will be frivolous or do things just for fame. We are almost over-cautious."

While most people don't realize it, the CBC, Canada's public broadcaster, is in the middle of a labour dispute, and by 'labour dispute' I mean that the management has locked the CBC workers out of their work environment, effectively making it look like they are on strike while also taking the power to end the labour dispute away from the workers. As I said, most people probably don't realize that the CBC is on strilce. I, however, do, as I am a geek and like listening to the CBC for all my information about the world. Most people probably don't realize what the labour dispute is about, or see how it connects to numerous other disputes that have occurred recently. Basically, the CBC workers had been working without a contract for at least a year before they were locked out. While there were negotiations going on to try and establish a new contract, the sticking point was the management's attempts to threaten the survival of the union. Basically, the CBC management wanted to eliminate full-time positions and replace them with contractual workers. workers to be drastically reduced. This would reduce the strength of And in the end, the university the union and save money for the won and any new worker can corporation. Sounds great from be hired on a contractual basis.

When full time workers are replaced by contract workers, wages are reduced and the amount of money available to the economy is also reduced. When unions lose, all workers lose. And when .workers lose, so does the vast majority of the population.

Thanks for your time, Rob Rombouts The LUSU President's Report The Shrinking Sphere Adam Krupperl LUSV President Where are we going? Good Lord! What a question. Really though, where are we going as an institution? This is a fundamental question that needs to be asked. If you were to look at our campus development plan you'd see that as an institution, we are moving towards a lot more roads, privatized research, more and more parking lots, leasing part of our campus for a golf course, and a really big hockey rink. This plan does not inspire me. It does not speak of a comprehensive plan to make this a better university. It does not speak to a vision of Lakehead as a learning institution; it does not build upon our past strengths as a student-centered institution; it does not create a better learning environment. The focus of the university's development plan is utilitarian. It means giving up our campus to private forprofit interests. It means forever destroying our green spaces, those things (trees and alive stuff) that make this campus so remarkable and beautiful. It means moving the spotlight from northern community-based post-secondary educational programs to commercially-based directed-study programs and being a subsidized sports-centre. It must be asked; what do we want in a campus and in a university? Most people I talk to really realize that a campus is more than a collection of buildings; they realize that those buildings must address the question of living the campus experience. Buildings must serve the greater need of education, and its facilitation. That means making the buildings liveable, flexible, a place of experience and communication on many levels. They must foster warm interaction and a communication with what is beyond the walls. Green space is more than a few artificially planted trees and pesticide sprayed grass. Green space is open space; open is to be filled with possibility. Lake Tamblyn and everything that surrounds it is green space. Its uses are incredibly varied. It is a space of excitement, of chilin', congregation, studying, and canoeing! It is also a safe place. Our campus is remarkable because it has enclaves of green space. The interaction of buildings and green space, how they are put together, their design, their relation to each other, and everything in-betw.een is what creates the physical atmosphere of the campus. A clear, thoughtful, and insightful vision of a campus creates a place that helps its students feel nurtured and empowered. • I wish I could say that the current campus plan has a healthy vision, but I can't. It is a vision of expansion, of opportunistic growth that is more founded in personal ambition than in academic merit. It is a vision that destroys our green space, sells our campus to the highest bidder, and desperately latches onto the newest trends. It does not offer a vision of Lakehead as a place that fosters new possibility for new students to create new boundaries in the world; it is a vision ()fa university that compartmentalizes 'recreational' activity, learning, and down-time. It makes Lakehead a place of specific business and sells off anything that does not fit into that boxed mentality. Why have you never seen the campus development plan? Why don't you know how this place is being changed? Why has student input been limited to one vote at a time, in meetings that refuse to ask a fundament question; is this really what you want? Will these changes make this campus the best learning environment for the future generations of students? Are we creating an environment of possibility, or decided activity? Is this institution looking to the future, following trends, or worse, following personal ambitions? .,:·.· ~ti- .tar~·Coming U~.

King Hubbert presented a paper in which he predicted that continental U.S. oil production would peak sometime between 1965 and 1970, with world production peaking in 1995. U.S. oil production peaked in l 971, and it has been calculated that global production of 'conventional oil' peaked in early 2004. As every schoolchild knows, fossil fuels are finite resources .which take millions of years to develop. Are the Peak Freaks right? Are we facing the end of oil? Regardless of whether or not you subscribe to the Peak Oil theory, one thing is certaingasoline has suddenly become damned expensive. Let me rephrase that: insanely expensive. While millions of drivers offer up their wallets in a manner similar to Jacob's trussing up of Isaac, let us examine the possible alternatives to gasoline-powered automobiles. Natural gas Not really willing to give up fossil fuels? Consider a natural-gaspowered-vehicle (orNGV). Throughout North America, the vast network of natural gas pipes in urban areas make this fuel readily abundant, and its cost is already cheaper than gasoline in the United States. The cleaner burning of natural gas and the thickness of the storage tanks in NGVs result in less wear and tear on the engine (which means less tune-ups) and reduced chance of fuel tank rupture. But to accommodate those thick, sturdy fuel tanks, cargo and trunk space is sacrificed. And their driving range is approximately half that of a conventional gasoline-powered vehicle. So imagine this: you're driving home from the Superstore, groceries stacked up to your eyeballs, when your car splutters and dies. Unless you want to pull it to a natural-gas pump which may or may not exist in that neighbourhood, the NGV driver is SOL. Not to mention that natural gas, as well, is predicted ·to run out within the next century. Hybrid cars Calvin of Calvin and I Hobl;,es once stated, "A good compromise leaves everybody mad." Does this pertain to the hybrid car? I don't know, and frankly I don't intend to do the research to find out. Seriously though, a hybrid car uses both electricity (often with batteries) and a conventional, gas-burning internal combustion engine. Several other machines use hybrid fuel, including trains, giant Argus Feature Septe:mher 19, 2005 g • U I d e t 0 Car - t e r a It erna purely-electric car? mining trucks, and These are currently buses with overhead wires (all diesel-electric more popular in Europe than in North America, vehicles).

The difficulty of finding a mechanic or technician with the skill and experience to repair and maintain an electric car is a major factor prohibiting their use at present. The Smart Car Is the name merely a British-Englishism for looking sharp and stylish ("My, what a smart-looking handkerchief') or a blatant appeal to the urban sophisticate who wants to appear And you thought hydrogen was a pipe dream. Well ... you were right as a member of an intellectual elite? Either way, the Smart Car is rapidly gaining in popularity. The Smart Car is, yes, a conventional diesel-powered vehicle-but an incredibly efficient one. Weighing in at a mere 730 kilograms (as opposed to the 1,280 kg Toyota Echo) it also takes up a mere 2.5 metres of parking space, and has an advertised fuel rate of 4.2 litres per 100 km which owners confirm is fairly accurate. Currently, city councilors in Vancouver are considering parking-fee breaks to drivers of the Smart Car. However, the Smart Car is not the be-all that ends all. With a mere 41 horsepower and two doors, it can't match the studly off-road power of a hulking pickup truck or the cargo space of a minivan. Furthermore, remember the guys who made fun of you in high school? Those guys all drive pickup trucks, and they'll all probably try to run you over. Bio-fuel Brilliant German inventor Rudolf Diesel (no relation to Vin), had predicted that his engine would run on vegetable oil, and at his demonstration at Paris' 1900 World Exhibition he used peanut oil. Henry Ford expected his Model-T to run on comderived ethanol. Nonetheless, supply, price and efficiency meant that diesel engines were eventually run on petroleum. But within the past few decades bio-diesel has made a startling comeback. South of the border, events like the 1973 OPEC crisis and the Iranian revolution meant that serious research into bio-diesel began in the 1970s. Around the world, the environmentalism movement spurred the search for a clean, renewable resource. And what better source than agriculture? Plant oils (such as rapeseed, canola, com, soybeans, sunflower seeds, cotton seeds, palm, and peanuts) and animal fats can be transformed by chemical reactions into fuel. They can either be used directly, with slight modifications, or as an additive to petroleum-derived diesel. But it isn't all fun and games-bio-diesel can clog older diesel engines, produces more smog-forming nitrogen oxides, may decrease fuel economy and power, and has a hefty price tag. Hydrogen power Leading the way in hydrogen power, considered by many to be the 20th century's greatest pipe dream after "peace in our time," is none other than auto giant BMW. Their experimental racer H2R (Hydrogen Record Car) has already set nine speed records in its class. Instead of hydrogen fuel cells, the H2R is powered by liquid hydrogen fuel in an internal combustion engine. BMW also plans to produce the H7, a vehicle offering ''world-class luxury �__ , ----- - - Argus n at • IV e Feature Septemher 19, 2005 • I Ve S modes 0 f t r a n s p o·r t a t i o n Fields of rapeseed, much like this one, create biodiesel Fossil fuels don't really come from dinosaurs, but this But was a nice picture Laugh now, but you'll be investing in horseshoes soon enough and performance along with the clean-air benefits of hydrogen technology." how applicable is this to you;the driver? While liquid hydrogen is already used in rockets and spacecraft, and eyed (thanks to its lightness) for use in airplanes, the "hydrogen economy" has yet to prove it-self practicable. Since hydrogen does not occur naturally in its pure state, an initial input of energy is required to separate it from its surroundings. For further detail ( since this stuff makes my eyes glaze over-which is why I never took chemistry in high school) check out en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogen_ economy. Public Transportation So why bother with cars? ou could always consider taking • the bus, the subway, the monorail, the bullet train, or whatever other form of public transportation your city has to offer. Not only are they priced affordably, but (like carpools) they drastically reduce emissions of fossil fuels. Of course, this hinges on the phrase "whatever your city has to offer." Not every city has a monorail or a subway. Indeed, many smallish cities' bus systems are infrequent to the point where walking saves more time (see Walking, below). In addition, public transportation has a stigma which, like most stereotypes, is based in truth. In the anonymous atmosphere of public transit, pickpocketing, robbery, and assault are facilitated. In 1984, New Yorker Berhard "Bernie" Goetz, aka "the Subway Sentinel," made headlines around the world when he shot four youths attempting to rob him with sharpened screwdrivers. And carrying groceries on the bus? Fuggedaboutit! Bicycling What about cycling? It's much faster than walking, you don't have to worry about getting shanked, and it's good exercise. However, you run the risk of being clothes-lined by pedestrians if you bike on the sidewalk and being hit by cars if you bike on the road. Furthermore, a tethered bike, even one secured with a bike lock, is an invitation for theft, or merely the theft of your front wheel. New Guinea Highlanders, like many, enjoy a good walk. Walking The walker gets to set his or her own pace, obtains the benefit of exercise (and a suntan), and ... that's about it. If you really enjoy being outdoors and not having to wait for the bus, like I do, walking is a treat. Of course, not everybody enjoys being at the mercy of the elements or having to set aside hours of travel time a day. www.canada.com auto.howstuffworks.com en. wikipedia.org Horses Unless you live in the country, not a good idea.

Inside every person there When I was reading Jake Satten's article I had to remember if I was reading The Argus or an NDP newsletter. Judging by the content in that article, I really thought the latter. After acting like a bunch of whiney children and thugs, do you think these strikers deserve to have jobs at Lakehead? I sure don't. In fact each and every one of them should be fired just for their actions on the picket line. One time when I was coming for a review class, I simply reminded one of the strikers that it was my right to go to school, and they decided to make me wait longer. I ended up being twenty minutes late for that review class. Did the strikers care? Not really. One thing about contracting out was not simply about saving money. I have heard stories where it took these workers five weeks to simply change a light bulb. They finally acted after the professor threatened to change it himself. Rooms in the ATAC building that have no working air conditioning. The men's washroom on the third floor of the library has a burned out bulb. I wonder how long it will be before they get that bulb changed. And the quality of work will decrease if contract workers are brought in? It actually looks like the opposite. When the replacement workers came in, the bathrooms looked better than they ever have. Unions are a big reason that Thunder Bay has trouble attracting business, and the socialists in this city have no real problem with keeping business out. In a twist of irony, Canada's richest province (Alberta), is also the least unionized. If the strikers wanted support from the students all they had to do was simply stand at the side with their signs as oppose to blocking traffic. I probably would have had sympathy for the workers that way. But when I was coming to the university for exams, I almost thought I was dealing with the same thugs that are present on Simpson Street. And if you just drove through the picket line, the cops were waiting there to protect their union buddies. Correct me i~ I am wrong, but that is a conflict of interest. Let's not forget that one worker who yelled 'shame on you' to one person with children in the car. He was going to his granddaughters dance recital at the Bora Laskin building, and just stopped to say that he was supportive of the workers. After that action he quickly changed his mind. I guess the last time the university was on strike one of the strikers got hit by a car and is now paralyzed. If that person was stupid enough to stand in front of a car like that, they got what they deserved. Let's not forget that this is the same union that was behind the Yellowknife mine blast in 1992. Isn't it ironic that Al-Qaeda has never committed a terrorist act on Canadian soil; the Canadian Auto Workers can't say the same for themselves. Our University Doesn't Offer Basic French? Kendra Ezack This is the day we thought would never happen. Some of us prayed for it, while a large majority did not even realize we had two national languages. No matter though, because Canada is no longer a bilingual country. Well, this is the only logical (maybe not) conclusion I can make given that Lakehead is not offering Introductory French. Imagine my surprise when there was an introductory French course in the course calendar for my first year.

Global warming or global ice age? Many believe that global warming is inevitable and that climate change promises severe repercussions. However, some historians may reveal that we should not fear global warming as much as global cooling. As they know, history tends to repeat itself and words of wisdom predict an ice age is long overdue. So how is this possible? Well to begin, let's consider the environmental fallout of global warming. Extensive land conversions have altered the earth to be more receptive to infrared radiation (heat from the sun), while greenhouse gases have created an insular layer to contain the heat and temperatures. This environmental phenomenon caused the global climate to change, parching soil and melting continental ice sheets (among other things). These extreme weather processes continue to erode the earth and raise water levels at an unprecedented rate, eventually transforming the earth to marginal islands of land engulfed by a worldwide ocean. This 'waterworld' will be the catalyst for global cooling, changing our once incandescent earth into an iridescent water body. Nevertheless, some may state the global oceans will moderate the earth's temperature. However, this statement is false on two pretences: the changes will be too drastic and rapid for the ocean lag to accommodate; and the insular blanket of greenhouse gases will long remain, sealing our fate in this cold casket.

Rod Stewart has three albums "The Rolling Stones lasting twenty, thirty years -- what a stupid idea that would be." - Lester Bangs, Creem, 1973 If the Pearl Jam show at The Gardens showed me anything, it showed me that Pearl Jam are well on their way to becoming the next Rolling Stones. Can you imagine Pearl Jam twenty, thirty years from now? What a stupid idea that would be. The last proper Pearl Jam album, Riot Act, was offensively bad. Since that time, they've released a double-live acoustic album, a double greatest hits album, and launched tours of Australia, Japan, the US, and recently Canada. Through three tour stints since Riot Act, they've played 119 tour dates and counting. Pearl Jam fans have always been the most loyal fans around, and the band has tried to return the favour in whatever way they can. Touring places like Thunder Bay and Kitchener is proof that their primary concern is to please fans. But ask yourself, would you rather Pearl Jam play a show in Thunder Bay, in a hockey arena with brutal acoustics, playing a set that's clearly driven by a 'greatest hits' mentality; or would you rather hear the first good Pearl Jam album released in 5 years? Judging from the crowd response, the answer scares me. To give a bit of back- ground, Pearl Jam was my favourite band from the age of 10 to 15. Including singles, bootlegs, and live sets, I still own about 20 Pearl Jam CD's. So this criticism isn't a blind attack. It's simply meant as a critical review of my childhood heroes, and to find out why I seem to be the only one that feels this way. It almost hurts more that Pearl Jam came to Thunder Bay and played the set that they did. It's like an ex-girlfriend that you're still sort of seeing, telling you that she's met someone else. Pearl Jam used me like an ashtray heart. They crushed me while I was burning out. I've come to the conclusion that the best thing to do when you're spurned by your idols, isn't to find new idols. It's to give up the idea of idols altogether. Why put so much effort into a band or artist that you don't even know?!! How can you trust this group of musicians to evolve with you through your own musical and spiritual evolution as a fan? Pointing out the obvious, you can't. For those that were at the Gardens, it was too late for them. They were already wrapped around Eddie's little finger. But it's not too late for you. Get out while you still can. Burn the bandwagon. Cover up your ashtray heart. But whatever you do, when that ex-girlfriend/ex-hero tells you they want you back, think fondly of the good tim~s, but put them down all the same. Movie watch Jennifer Cudmore New to DVD last week: so absurd. Overall, an entertaining no-brainer that will appeal to most people. Fever Pitch Starring Drew Barrymore and Jimmy Fallon Directed by Bobby Farrelly and Peter Farrelly Based on the novel by Nick Homby This movie was a pleasant surprise. It was based on the book by Nick Homby (High Fidelity, About a Boy), and fans of his earlier work will not be disappointed. Though the storyline is the typical romantic comedy; Homby, along with screenwriter partners Lowell Ganz and Babaloo Mandel (Where the Heart Is, City Slickers) manage to infuse the boymeets-girl formula with humour and insight about relationships and how far someone will go for the person they love. The dialogue is funny and Jimmy Fallon manages to pull off a fairly good performance for once as the Red Sox obsessed fan, Ben. Drew Barrymore stays true to form as the girl of his dreams. The two are funny together and play off one another well. For the Farrelly brothers, this is a departure from their usual comedies such as Stuck on You, Shallow Hal and Theres Something About Mary.

PROUD HOST OF LAST YEAR'S XXX-TOXICATOR &AROUND 1HE WORLD PARTIES . . . �Sports 14 September 19, 2005 Argus Classic arena in need of replacement Fort William Gardens becoming outdated Alan Wickware/ Argus There are not many Canadian university hockey arenas like the Fort William Gardens. It is reminiscent of the old Boston Garden, Montreal Forum or Chicago Stadium (albeit not as large), in terms that the fans are so ..--:11 close to the ice surface, they can almost touch the players. It has that vintage feeling. Over the past 60 years the Gardens has played host to games from every level of hockey, seen championships won and lost, and has also hosted a countless array of concerts, most recently being Pearl Jam. But The Gardens is beginning to show its ag_e, and the issue of a new 'large capacity seating' arena is going to have to be addressed in the near future. If one were to observe the outside of the structure, they would notice a decaying exterior, underlined by the chipping cement of the outside The Fort William Gardens, sitting at the corners ofMiles and Vickers St. in Fort William, beams, and the need for much is home of the Thunderwolves men's hockey team, but for how much longer? more than just cleaning and paint job.

Lack of space on a lack of a press box and luxury upgrades, making the whole complicated to even bother to Lakehead Basketball welcomes new transfers Morrison confident his team has improved Alan Wickware/ Argus When Coach Scott Morrison opened training camp for the Lakehead Thunderwolves men's basketball team earlier this month, he was·reassured that his team had not tak_en a step backward. He knows this because of the new faces that will dot the lineup. Most notable among these is the arriva.J of three top-rate transfers arriving from various schools around the continent. After spending the better portion of his university career playing at NCAA junior colleges, the latest being Vincennes University in Indiana, Vaughn Daley is coming home to Canada to finish off his post secondary career. The '6 '4 combo' guard is expected to crack the starting lineup for the Thunderwolves, adding to an already impressive back court that will see him team up with the other speedy guard, Scott Seeley. Vaughn's main attribute is his exceptional work ethic, something that fits in well with this Lakehead squad. Daley is also excited to get a chance to play with Kiraan Posey, an elite CIS basketball player who won , the OUA scoring title last season, something that Vaughn has been looking forward to since arriving at Lakehead. "Watching him practice, I can see that he's (Posey) naturally a great scorer, so hopefully we can bring the best out of each other this season." Along with Daley, the Thunderwolves received a boost up front, welcoming 5th year forward Ryan Marrast, a 6'5' native of Toronto, and, Warren Gilchrist, a 6'6' transfer from Howard Community College in Columbia, Maryland. Marrast spent four years playing for a strong basketball program at Acadia University m Wolfville, NS, and his offensive skills will be well used. Gilchrist's sheer size will most definitely intimidate opposing players, not to mention his uncanny ability to knock down mid-range jump shots; something that is often rare in bigger forwards. Coach Morrison is excited about the new prospects he has on his roster, hopefully ensuring that last seasons' playoff run was no fluke. "From a basketball perspective, we have added size, athleticism, and depth to compete with the best in the country on paper. It will now be up to our team to put forth the required effort and dedication to do so each week starting in October." The Thunderwolves pre-season schedule begins October 1st with the annual John Zanatta Alumni game, and finishes November 3-5 with an East Coast swing to ,. the US to play NCAA Division 1 Loyola in Baltimore, Division II Virginia State University, begin to renovate. Thus, a new arena must be built. But where? Lakehead Athletic Director, Tom Warden, says he wants the arena to come here, but not if the school is going to bear the brunt of the construction: "The university has always been interested in discussing plans to build a rink on campus, but in the sense of owning or operating it, that would have to be done by the city of Thunder Bay. We think of it as a good idea, but it couldn't require the universities (financial) resources." Although there has been no official complaint from the school or team, the reality is becoming clear that the arena situation needs to be addressed. There would be no better location in the city than the university campus. It would represent a happy medium to those living in both Fort William and Port Arthur. It is now up to both university officials and city Qffici;ils to work out the details. �Ar~us -esHav Student The VIP Specials Ill Argus ALWAYS FIRST WITH THE NEWS 2 --1 2" S TOPPING PIZZAS - $1 6.99 Piua Tax 1 -1 2" 2 TOPPING, CHEESY BREAD AND 2 POP - $16.99 Plua Tax Nobod'f i°V1 tl,,•5 f-owV"\ °'ff~Cjo..f€S ,,...'I (>O\iV) ti"1':J.> ·•· / 1 - 1 4" 2 TOPPING PIZZA - $11 .99 Plue Tax FOR FAST DELIVERY CALL: THUNDER BAY 8 00 i475•4222 ---- - ~ 772 Ja...

Honararia are cash payments or privileges extended to those holding responsible and time-consuming student offices. They can in no way approach the value of the work done but do represent appreciation and recognition as well as a return on personal expenses incurred. Discussion of the proposals was long and heated and ended in a motion to table for revision and explanation. Basically, honoraria for the more important positions would be a cash payment based on a percentage of tuition. The purpose of the approach was apparently to establish the comparative worth of these positions and as a matter of convenience. The recommendations were these (cash value in brackets): AMS Pres. 60% of tUition (276) AMS Treas. 60% of tuition (276) . AMS Vice. 50% of tuition (230) AMS Sec. 40% of tuition (184) Society Pres. 30% of tuition (138) Yearbook Ed. 25% of tuition (115) Argus Co-Ed. 15%each(l38) Comment on this portion of the proposals came in the form of Mr. Sulphur's admission that the Yearbook and Argus allotments were, of necessity, particularly low in relation to workloads; Mr. Mitchell's assertion that the president's salary would be lowered from last year and Mr. Lemmon' s observation that perhaps the vicepresidential responsibilities did not warrant such a proportionately high honoraria. Honoraria for lower pos- itions was hotly debated. The Committee recommended that each A.M.S. councillor be granted free admission to all university functions worth $1.00 or less and that the Chief Justice, Thec.u.s. chairman, the editor of Contact, and Ken Johnson, who assists in advertising, be refunded their A.M.S. fee of $30.00. Councillor Cordingly and Committee chairman Sulphur had very divergent views on this position. Mr. Cordingly stated that •There are a couple of people loosing out on this deal•, referring to the CUS chairman and the Chief Justice. In his own words Mr. Cordingly asserted that "'The C US chairman is getting it in the left ear•. "'Getting what?• querried Mr. Penner. No reply.

The undermanned L.U.' basket-ball team was also defeated by United and the refs. The entire refereeing display was the worst and most onestded ever witnessed by this reporter. Another factor in the defeat was the height of the players. United averaged 5 inches taller per man than Lakehead. WINDSOR (CUP)--University of Windsor students burned a Buddhist monk in effigy Wednesday (Nov. 30) to protest Ontario's controversial student award program. The 15-minute ceremony attracted about 300 cheering students, who, after listening to speakers protest the recently-initiated award program, set fire to a kerosene-soaked effigy of a seated figure in saffron-colored robes. WINDSOR The protest was meant to be a dramatic presentation of dissatisfaction with the program-one aspect of which calls for a rigorous means test before loans are advanced- to students. a student spokesman said. •Lower-income students are reluctant to take loans. as they offer only temporary aid,• a student council member said.

We think this misguided opinion, one which is held by the majority of students, must be altered Until this year, the Judicial Committee was never employed. The reason for the Committee's absence on campus was not because of extreme student body innocence, but rather one of chronic disorganization in the Student Court scene. But under Rusak' s guidance this term, the Committee has warned one student for disorderly conduct at a Dinner Dance, and fined another $100.00 in a fraud charge. What is perhaps extremely important is that this latter student paid his fine. The Student Proctor System is in its first year of existence at Lakehead University. And again it has been Mr. Rusak' s work which has made possible the formation of this body. When the Proctors have beeen present at student functions there has been only minor infractions and no damage. The only thing obviously lacking in the Proctor System is a constable who is able to have jurisdiction over offending students which are not from Lakehead University. But this problem is one which may be easily rectified and is not a serious structural fault in the existing system. What all this brings us to, is the fact that Peter Rusak has accomplished a great deal more than any other previous student Justice has. Both systems under his control have worked quietly and efficiently. It seems the rewards of quiet efficiency are a honorarium of $30 and the needless criticism of a supposedly responsible counc~llor. BLUE IS BLUE A POST MORTEM FRED KELLY - OR IS IT ? It has been proposed that the dark blue leather jackets, which arrived on campus by accident and were adopted by the Foresters, be re-ordered despite the fact that they are not in the official Lakehead U. colours as stipulated in this university's charter. There is no good reason why leather University jackets must be in a different colour from all other types. The only reason put forward is that leather Jackets, which are more likely to be sold to men in technology who might wear them on field trips, should be in a darker colour which will not show wear as badly as our official colour. This argument is inadequate. Look at the colour of a standard melton jacket. If this azure blue, our official colour, is too light, someone is colour blind. There will be very real problems created if the A.M.S. authorizes two distinct Jacket colours. The question is one of unity. We have a unique situation here at Lakehead in the high , degree of inter-faculty cooperation and communication. This is no accident. It is due to our small size and very conscious effort by the powers that be. It could reach the point where an Artsman who wants a leather jacket will be forced to buy one which has become accepted as a •Forestry jacket•. Alternately, a forester who can't afford a leather jacket might have no choice but to purchase an • Arts and Science jacket•. The A.M.S. will be doing a grave disservice to this University's unity if it allows each faculty to have, in effect, distinct and different jackets. • ' Voters in Australia andNewZealandhave expressed their support for United States policy in Vietnam. In the General Elections held in each country on November 25, the respective governments were returned to power. These were Keith Holyoake' s National (Conservative) Party in New Zealand, and Harold Holt's Liberal Country Party in Australia. In Australia the government increased its majority in the Parliament by a considerable number. In New Zealand the National Party lost one seat in the House of Representatives (from 45 to 44 in a House of 80 seats), which went not to the Labour opposition but to the right-wing Social Credit Party--the first seat won by a third party in New Zealand in 23 years. The victories of the respective parties can be interpreted as a victory for U.s. Vietnam policy. The governments in both countries supportthispolicy,Australiahavirrg ~sent ~,500 men (including conscripts) and New, zealand: having committed a 150 man and 5 Howitzer artillery force to aid the U.S. in its war against Vietnam. From all accounts, the election campaign in both countries centred around the Vietnam issue to the virtual exclusion of all other issues. In New Zealand, the Labour Party had promised the withdrawal of N.E. troops from Vietnam and its replacement by humanitarian aid. In Australia, the Labour Party had promised the withdrawal of all troops and its replacement by technical personnel. The repercussions of these election results, while not tremendous in import.. ance, will be significant not anly inside, but outside their respective countries. In the countries themselves, the prestige of the governments will be boosted and they will be able to act with more confidence on Vietnam. In the case of Australia, the election figures will undoubtedly result in the sending of yet more troops, ineluding more conscripts, to the Vietnam war. In New Zealand, commentators predict that more troops will be committed, but as this will strain the country's military resources, conscription will be introduced, and conscripts may be sent to Vietnam. This policy, against which the government has given an assurance already, is unlikely to be popular with many people, and the government may hesitate before takin(! such a move. The election results will also boost the morale of the U.S. government to the extent that it is assured of continued military support from New Zealand and Australia. Taking all considerations into account, then, the election results are most regrettable . The disillusionment of the Cana_dian people in the old political parties is evident and will develop into interesting results. The open tumult and battling within the Progressive Conservative Party has somewhat subsided or at least is not so sensationally forefronted in the news as was very recently the case. John Diefenbaker is still moaning over the h,µmiliation to which he was subjected in the recent convention. But he is still biding his time as to his retirement. It is clear that he must step down. His refusal to be intimidated into resignation or his determination to hold the reigns through the Centennial year only lessens the strength of his party and may very well reduce it to a third party status. In sad reality the Conservatives are engaged in a battle of personalities rather than in the formation of policies--i.e. Camp vs Diefenbaker. Camp definitely scored a victory at the convention although he asserted that he was ·not anti--Diefenbaker, but rather pro-Conservative and thereby guising his campaign for leadership reassessment as a step •to modernization and democratization• of the party. The postconvention Declaration(signed by most Conservative M.P .' s) asking Diefenbaker to retain leadership could not really salve any part of the mortal wound. Any loyalty to Diefenbaker is rooted in sentiment and pity-he is an old warrior! But the real split still exists which is that of the young rebelling against the old generation. By contrast the vote of confidence given Lester Pearson at the October Liberal Party convention was an exercise to tie up loose ends in the party and display unity. The only disunity came from Man- power's Minister, Marchand, in his criticism and opposition to Mr. Sharp's postponement of medicare, but Pearson handled the situation with a compromise. And while Ex-FinBt-nce Minister Gordon was manoeuvered into completing his so-called political suicide over economic rationalism, Mr. Sharp strategically set himseJf up •succeed Pearson upon the latter's retirement. The Liberals, ever cognizant of the spli within the official opposition, capitalize~ on the opportunity to display harmony and unity in closing. The deception is indeed very shallow for the Liberals are not without problems. The rebellion of youth against old generation rule is now universal. In the final analysis the New Democratic Party is the beneficiary of the present state of affairs in conjunction with its hare work. For the most pan the drift is nol of Conservative votes becoming Liberal anc the converse is untrue. The latest GalluI poll verifies an ever-increasing supportfo1 the N.D.P. Liberals have 38% of the popular vote, and the N.D.P. is now level witlJ the Conservatives at 26%.

Yours trulyJ John Harti Dean Of Science, �THE ARGUS DEC. 9, 1966 "Resignttus" Hits Editors Ottawa (CUP)--A disease threatening to reach epidemic proportions is sweeping Canadian university campuses this fall. A rapidly-increasing number of campus newspaper editors are being struck by resignitus. Although most editors resign voluntarily to qualifyfor membership in The Club, as the association of former student newspaper editors is called by the 'in, group, some become members by another route: councilus firitus. Such was the case of Sandy Gage, former editor of The McGill Daily. Following printing of a November 11 front-page story which alleged civil engineering professor Dr. Raymond Young was conducting research • designed to aid the American war effort in Vietnam•, McGill University's students' council demanded Ga1,e' s resignation. I am not going to resign--you will have to fire me,• Gage firmly replied. Gage was fired. The McGill Daily, however, lost more than an editor when Gage was dismissed --52 staff members resigned after their chief was removed from office. Herein lies a difficulty most campus editors face. In allowing papers to become student council bulletin boards, they avoid potential coun~il-newspaper friction, but are often blasted for becoming a council instrument. If, conversely, when they crusade for a campus cause or attempt to implement a hard-line editorial policy, they are often accused of promoting their own 'narrow' causes.

This liberty may be a cause for temptation as the consumption of beveraged spirits is heavier amongst non-residents. It is interesting to note the propable creeping of guilt into the consciences of those who received student loans. Their liquor allowance is much less than that of an average student. Business men dip into father's pocket for a much larger share than male members of other faculties. In contrast other University Schools students claim to be the most s;lf-supporting. If the figures are to be trusted the point to meditate is the close percentage proportions of total funds which males living away from and at home receive from the government. .

They were the best team this year and even defeated the X-men in •an exhibition game yet were not invited to the Bowl game. This situation must be rectified so that we can have a real Canadian Intercollegiate FootballChampionwith the top teamintheEastplay- ing the top team in the West. The best team in each division could be decided by their overall record that season. The Lakehead would be the divisional point with all teams to the East being in the Eastern division and all teams to the West being in the Wes tern diVision. The game could _alternately be played in the West and East each year depending on where the Grey Cup was to be played. If the Grey Cup was held in the East then the College Bowl would be -by Larry Hebert held in · the West. Perhaps the C.B.C. could televise it live and if this is to be done I think it should be played on a Sunday afternoon when more people could watch it. This would definitely promote college football in Canada and at least we would have a true national champion. Even in the United States. with all its bowl games. a true national champion can not be decided through the games themselves. GET TO KNOW YOUR A THI.ETES Photo by Dennis Smyk Rag Tag W,inners.

ANOTHER FIRST Yes history was once again Rick Lampshire Don Holstrom RICK LAMPSHIRE - The bearded wonder is a twentyone year old second year engineering student from Kenora. Lampshire played all of -his minor hockey in Kenora before a year of intermediate competition with the Kenora Thistles. In his second year with the Lakehead U. varsity hockey team Rick adds depth and skating power to the right wing position on the line with Dennis Olinik and John Stefiszyn. DON HOLMSTROM •Homer• is by far the best rookie on this year's basketball squad and has yet to complete a game this season in which he was not high scorer. Don played five years of high school basketball at Fort William Collegiate before enteriqg an Arts course this year at L.U. The lanky Nor'Wester forward will be particularily remembered for his fine •moves• in Sudbury. John Fallis JOHN FALLIS -Anothertalented rookie on the varsity hockey team this year is John Fallis who comes to us from Toronto. The twenty-two year old East York Collegiate graduate was a star athlete in high school football and hockey. Fallis is a first year Artsman majoring in economics and centres a line for Ron Morancy and Lorne Everett. John has the second hardest shot on the team next to Clare Battiston. SPORTS QUIZ in the making last weekend when Lakehead University comple,ted their first joint trip. And when I say joint, trip I not only mean that both the basketball and hockey teams travelled together for the first time. but also the cheerleaders andmajorettes.

Council Monday (Jan. 30) concluded a two-hour debate by authorizing its 'official representatives' to give what assistance they can to persons fleeing from the U.s. draft. Peter Warrian, domestic affairs commissioner and member of the Student Union for Peace Action, will be responsible for implementing the program. During debate on the draft-resistance resolution, it appeared council members wouldn't accept the idea of helping draft-dodgers fleeing the U.s. out of cowardice. But inclusion of a clause indicating their desire to help only Americans acting on moral principles apparently satisfied all councillors. One councillor who opposed the resolution was engineering rep Andy Moore who said: 'If individuals are allowed to run awar from their responsibilities, society would break down. Another councillor disagreed, saying, 'If nobody in Hitler's Germany had the moral right to object to the killing of 4 million people. If you want to say that, we'll settle the issue outside! The draft-resistance program planned for Waterloo is intended to help immigrants adjust to Canadian life. Legal information, employment opportunities and other background will be made available. STUDENTS PICKET WINTERS At 6:00 p.m., January 30, ten university students formed a special 'reception line' for the Hon. Robert Winters, guest speaker at the Chamber of Commerce banquet in the University Centre's Great Hall. As the 400 plus dinner guests moved from their cocktails in the cafeteria to the Great Hall they were met by the students, lining each side of the stairway. who carried placards protesting the sale of military supplies to the United States. The objective of the pickets was to urge Mr. Winters, in his capacity as Minister of Trade and Commerce, to honour Canada's 'peac~ ef- forts' and supposedly 'neu• th I t tral position on Commise n ernational Control sion in Vietnam, byprohititing the sale of strategic war materials to the U.S. and other warring parties in • V1etnam.

The NOP club ran a surprisingly weak second with 32. 7% of the votes giving them 11 seats. The Disraeli Conservatives, a moderate right-wing group, took 14.4% or 5 seats. Bert Baumann of Arts II, leader of the Liberals and Prime Minister of the parliament was interviewed as soon as the result"! were in and expressed 'pure joy' at the outcome. He attributed the success of his party's campaign to the hardworkof his organization and the belief that its policies refleeted the political opinion of most of the students on campus. He also expressed the opinion that 'perhaps some protests and so on that were not officially sanetioned bytheNDP ... damaged its chances.' He said be bad not expected a majority and was surprised that the NDP did not get many more votes than it did. Commenting on the relatively high Disraeli Conservative vote which involved only a party of one and no campaign whatsoever Mr. Baumann said that the name of that party was proba bl Y confuse d Wl·th the Progressive Conservatives who did not enter candidates. He also thought that the core of students from conservative backgrounds would votefora conservative platform of any description. Ken Robinson, leader of the NOP on campus had a prepared statement following the election.

He must feed solely on his senses, consuming himself and his surroundings as he works, and digesting with his mind. He has no boundaries as such; the entire world is his own as he chooses. He is in the process of perpetual creation, whether it be seeing, hearing, tasting, learning, loving, etc. Not only must he do these things, but he must be above them in order to incorporate them into his , art. He is the bird in flight as much as the grub in the field. He is all things through the exercise of art. Thus, nothing is sacred to him, because he is familiar with everything or can be if he chooses. Beauty, truth, love, woman - all things are his subjects. If we have holy absolutes, then we must have profane ones as well. That is, ugliness, falsehood, hatred, whoredom. As things exist, so the artist must use them, no matter what they be if he sees fit to make them part of his art. There is no man to judge what he produces, because the artist is from the loins of Everyman. And if Everyman criticizes, he is then criticizing himself. In his position, the artist is not responsible for his art. So it is then that he is above censorship for vulgarity, obscenity, pornography and the dozen other words of the same genre. •-In using these elements which are deemed evil, the artist is merely recording what is, with the embellishments of his imagination. It is his solemn task to do these things truly, whether they be good, bad, or indifferent. Let no man, therefore, pass judgment on his work. If a count of - the citizenry wishes to stop the eVil in art, then let that same citizenry eradicate the evil that exists. Art is the document of what is; let he who is without sin burn the first book. If a work is censored, it is rendered impotent, and no one should take the responsibility of pacifying the truth. Our education, our learning, our experienne should give us the quality of rationality, the ability to determine worthiness or value. We should be able to be objective, to have an open mind, to allow another man's view, especially an artist's. And we should be indignant when the censor deprives us of this privilege, even when what we view is coloured by so-called 'obscenities•. H~_U!E~P~~:~S BRYAN SPRINGGAY mercldile 'falt accompli' Two weeks ago, a convey of important banking executives from the United States, led by Chairman James Stillmore Rockefeller, appeared before the Commons Finance Committee to defend their 1963 purchase of the Mercantile BanlcofCanada. As a result of suchamovemanyCanadians feared a growing domination of foreign capital in Canadian banking. But what most Canadians did not realize was the fact that the powerful influential First National City Bank of New York bad bought the Mercantile Banlc, by far the smallest of Canada's eight chartered banks and the only foreign owned, from its Dutch founders. Thus the Mercantile Banlc was simply changing foreign owners. The Mercantile fuss, however, was notthe result of a change in foreign ownership. But when the First National City Bank, with assets of $14.7 billion and subsidiaries in forty-four countries, outbids five European and American rivals for Mercantile, one can see a danger for Canada's economic independence. The crisis began in 1963, for on July 18 of that year, Rockefeller, chairman of the First National and Mercantile' s President Robert MacFadden called on the Finance Minister, Walter Gordon. According to a memo drafted immediately after the meeting, Rockefeller declined that his bank bad made an arrangement but no •final commitment to buy Mercantile' s shares and on that basis Gordon advised him to adopt the purchase o:,; face the risk of restrictive legislation. Last week Rockefeller offered evidence to the Commons Committee that the First National had in fact closed the deal twenty-two days earlier in an agreement signed on June 26, 1963. The agreement was binding and irrevocable - a •fait accompli'. It is evident that the American financier exhibited back-alley tactics whj.le working in the dark shadows to get the deal completed. With · the purchase legality sane- tioned, Rockefeller approached the Canadian Finance Minister, a man who should have been the final consultant before agreement was drafted. It was obviously too late for Gordon to even attempt to ward off the American plans. Canadians, however, are not going to surrender without .a fight, The sword that bangs over the Mercantile Banlc lies in Section 75(2)(g) of Bill C-222, the Government's decennial revision of the Bank Act. By this clause foreign ownership of any bank is restricted to 25%, or otherwise limiting its assets to emasculating 20 times authorized capital, and thus force Mercantile, which even now does less than 1% of Canada's banking business, to pare its assets from $224. 9 million to $200 million. Canadians, therefore, although they cannot prevent the American purchase legally, can restrict the American economic influence expansion through the Mercantil Banlc through legislation. Last week, Mitchell Sharp, the Minister of Finance, suggested that as a solution the First National City Bank of New York divest itself of 75% of its shares in Mercantile, which could either grow without restriction. Though Rockefeller had already rejected that motion because •there's no percentage in doing the work and giving somebody else a percentage of the profits. Sharp persisted hinting that Mercantile might begin up to ten years to show a profit before it is required to sell. In this way, either by giving up 75% of the shares now or by sale ten years from now, the Mercantile Banlc will be controlled by Canadian interests. Canada cannot afford to restrict foreign banking if she wants to be a banking centre and a world money market. To boost her economy and financial outlook, Canada should encourage foreign investiture in Canada, including Canadian banking. Butwe must be sure that we control foreign investment and that foreign investment does not control us. END OF AN ERA Lakehead University students finally appear to be throwing off the •icy chains of custom• as evidenced by their more than adequate participation in the Winter carnival and subsequent good turn-out in the Model Parliament elections. . Apathy, thatfavorite mental state of most L.U. hippies, seem especially to have lessened last week when nearly forty percent of the student body decided to vote in the Now a forty-percent turnout isn't tremendous, but when a twenty-percent showing is regarded, (for similar events) as a miracle at the University of Toronto, Lakehead students may applaud their own efforts. Now in order to draw a parallel in this editorial and preserve unity of thought we shall have a minor divergence to a sub-theme. On Feb. 15, elections of a more important nature - Society - are happening. The student government which will be spending your money next year will be chosen. So here is your chance to make sure your twenty dollars or more is going to again be spent competently next time around.

Every small town should have at least one newspaper. It should be a nice newspaper. It should be owned by a foreign multi-millionaire. If there is more than one they should all be owned by the same foreign millionaire. It should cover its front page with pictures and details of the latest fatal accident. It should tell all about the new tractor that farmer Jones just bought. It should revise editorials from Monday's Globe and Mail to print as its own on Tuesday. It must fill its pages with trivial wirecopy when the ad department can• t. Its literary efforts should be restricted to reviews of the latestrhododendronmanual and an annual cookbook. Its reporters must be content to work for $35. a week plus bus tickets to assignments. They should have no writing ability and little education or training. It should be conservative in its politics, oblivious to social problems, unaware of sex, preoccupied with gore and generally pleasant and uncontroversial in everything it prints. • II. RADIO Every small town should have at least one radio station. It should be a nice radio station. It should be owned by a rich local personnage and prostituted to propagandize for the status quo which he heads. If there is more than one station they should all be owned and prostituted by rich local personnages. It must appeal to frustrated paranoic housewives during the day and to teenie-boppers of all j:\ges at night. It should have at least one resident bigot to editorialize, a mindless clod or two read handouts on the half-hour and call it a news report, and a rabble of adult children to play recqrds, read commercials, and report the latest temperature both at the airoort and downtown. Ill. TELEVISION Every small town should have at least one television station. It should be a nice television station. It should be owned by a rich local personnage.

Dear Sir: LETTE_R NO. 1 Referring to the Editor• s childish outburst entitled •A MOST STUPID DECISION' in which he points out that the !!!!!!g of $3000 is a •sTUPID DECISION'; I would suggest Dear Editor, that, rather it is you who is the •sTUPID DECISION'. (Unless the value of money these days is nil.) I am sure too that the A.M.S. Council members accused with this 'act of unbelievable irresponsibility' by you will not take too kindly in the future to your intellectual and emotional capabilities of which you seem to lack to a high degree. ObViously you have never heard of newspaper etiquette; and I would heartily recommend a few lessons in journalism. (Preferably before your next editorial). Ironically page 3 titled 'LITTER TO THE EDITOR' shows much more writing talent than most of the other articles in the ARGUS (excluding the advertisements). I must admit though that this week's movie review is a vast improvement over the previous one. I suggest also to Joseph Fiorito that he stop wasting his obvious talent on smut and contribute some worthy reading material in future issues. Although the ARGUS is read by over 90% of the student body it seems to be a reflection of less than 5%. Yet it is through our newspaper that L.U.'s image is reflected to the public (not to mention one certain drunken parade). Yes, if these are examples of how we are seen I think I prefer to remain hidden. Richard Peacosh, Arts I Money is donated yearly to Lakehead University in the hope that the young will be taught to think for themselves. However, it seems that some of our benefactors feel they are supporting a junior Sunday School class who thinks only within established boundaries. They were as a result quite shocked upon finding out that not all of us here are brainless blobs and we were repaid for thinking with a petty and thoughtless retaliation. I have heard accusations that the Argus is a petty and trite paper but in these two fields the Argus can never even hope to compete with the News Chronicle, as can be seen by anyone who read the Jan. 31/67 article on the student demonstration. The facts were distorted to suit the reporter's views and some were untrue. For example, the protest was not by the N.D.P. Perhaps Mr. Winters would do well to recommend a book on the causes of World War II to some senior newspaper men. Keep thinking Lakehead Untversity.

The column, 'Do We Need Cheerleaders', demand for eight or ten cute cheerleaders to spark our hockey and basketball teams and to spread enthusiasm in our home game bleachers. by the athletic coordinator that they were to cheer at the basketball game on the Saturday night not one showed up. The next day two arrived for the game--thats two out of eight--and they put on a very enthusiastic performance. It was so spirited that it wouldn't have aroused a cat to chase , a mouse.

The stories in this book are true gems of earthy humour that fairly sparkle with vigorous wit and worldly wonderment. Like the tale of an impecunious peasant whose only possession was a copious manhood.

Why could these stories not have been blended in with the rest of that country's folk-lore? Because people think that sex is diny. The old Russ~ peasants didn't think that sex was dirty.

Fewer than 100 miles away, Glendon College students' council calls for an assembly on the subject 'whether or not the president of this university has the intellectual integrity to discuss his views publicly.' At the same time, a Montreal daily newspaper predicts the University of Western Ontario, tom with student-faculty-administration discord over university government structures, could become Canada's Berkeley. In Calgary, 3,500 miles to the west, students at the Southern Alberta Institute of Technology attack paternalism in an administration which forces them to attend 90 per cent of their classes and refuses to listen to their complaints about lack of adequate health services or residences at SAIT. University of British Columbia's awardwinning student newspaper, The Ubyssey announces it is 'tired of being irrelevant1 and adopts a radically-different political journal format. Meanwhile, a timid report notes that only one Canadian ca~pus possesses student health and psychiatric setvices that are on a par with U.S. facilities. The report, published by the Canadian Union of Students, warns of new discontent raging in student minds across the country. An editorial page in The Daily Ryersonian, student paper at Ryerson Polytechnical Institute, recommends that courses at the institute be extended to four years; supports student 'freedom' to take part in decision-making within the academic community and calls for cessation of U.s. bombing r~ids on North Vietnam. An effervescent McGill history professor named Launer LaPierre travels thousands of miles across Canada, telling students that Canadian universities are • ghettoes' and the students who attend them do little more than contemplate their navels while the world around them seethes with social injustice. And across the country. student councils hold superficial discussions on the problems of education, the social and economic barriers to post-secondary education in Canada and the inadequacies of university factories. Their un-structured rivals in student activism, the Student Union for Peace Action, hold a meeting and decides that more strUcture is needed in their protests. Most of this in one week. And all amid the politeness and bromides which are Canada's Centennial year. • All a manifestation of the Significant Sixties--an age of mods and miniskirts, a faraway war and continued poverty at home and abroad. This week, the campus hotspots are the University of Waterloo and Glendon College of York University. At Waterloo, students, council president Mike Sheppard has vowed to back up his council's resolution calling for open de- cision-making in his university community. . He and other council members were planning to show up at Thursday's (Jan. 19) board of governors meeting--in spite of protests from university president J .G. Hagey. In a letter to Sheppard, President Hagey said the student president's plan to attend the board meeting, with the student newspaper present, could jeopardize work being done by the joint senate-student committee on university government. This committee, which has three student representatives, was formed last term to study the Duff-Berdahl report on university government and to 'bring forward proposals for any desirable reforms of the e~ting strUcture of the government at the University of Waterloo'. Sheppard has denied the student federation is trying to alter board procedure, saying it is impossible to change the board" s structure without revealing its operations to the student body. And when the committee submits its report to the board of governors, debate on the subject will be closed. Sheppard said that while there is little immediate likelihood of an organized student strike being called to support student demands for the 'open-door policy', he warns that council won'tacceptcomprom.ise solu~ons and could call a strike if all methods of sober debate and negotiation fail. Student council members at Glendon College, another centre of campus ferment, are seriously examining the new Advisory Committee on Student Affairs there. The committee fell apart in November when student representatives from Glendon and York campuses refused to support the university president's 'closed-meeting' policy. However. President Ross set up another committee--termed a 'bastard committee', by council vice-president Rick Schultz-similar in every respect to the old one. 'He's Just set it up in the same way, thus making student representation on it impossible'. says council president Jim Macdonald. ~ Macdonald is now trying to establish a university-wide, student-faculty committee which he hopes will overshadow the ACSA and eventually advise the president on matters of student concern. Several faculty members have already indicated strong interest in this proposal. Macdonald and Schultz are fighting for a committee which will give students full representation in areas concerning them. Although council itself realizes secrecy is sometimes justifiable, it 'must be the exception rather than the rule', says Schultz. Rumors are already flying that students will strike if President Ross refuses to meet their demands. Meanwhile, Allan Offstein, former editor of Glendon's student newspaper, The Pro Tem, is blasting students for their 'apathy, silence and ignorance of their group power. CHINESE INTERVENTION IN VIETNAM by Sze-Chung Yuan !1 d ~ 0 .e d :h ~d id ld ed a. ly 1nd as (lat ras Year after year the war in Vietnam drags on. People throughout the world are anxious to have peace. Ways and means have been exhausted by many yet none has achieved anything positive toward that end so far. In fact, it would be much easier for the Allied Forces to win the Vietnam War than to conclude the Vietnam Peace. The basic truth is that the objective of the Viet-cong is to take over the whole country and to achieve political unity under Communistic rule. They would not settle for less. Now, an interesting question arises: Would the Vietcong win? In my opinion, theywould If the Allied Forces wouldn't. It has been considered by some people \hat the Chinese Communists would interene in the Vietnam War should it be estalated. The evah:ation is based on fallacy. llthough the Peking Government has asser~d again and again her determination to elp her Viet-cong brothers and to drive le 'imperialists' out of Vietnam, and issued ~peatedly warnings to the U.S. Government tat China would intervene, it is nothing ~re than a i:>luff.

As a result, the very issue led to an open split between the two Communist countries. General Douglas McArthur was right in his evaluation on the possibility of a Chinese intervention in Korea though the actual event proved him wrong as, if not because of Russian ambition, under no circumstances, would China have intervened in the Korean War. The situation in Vietnam is different. Russia can no longer play the same trick again on her Chinese Comrades. The Chinese Communists would not intervene in Vietnam provided the war is limited within the Vietnamese T errltory for reasons summarized as follows: 1. The Viet-cong are notpreparedtoaccept direct military assistance other than arms, equipment, materials and advisory groups from Red China or any other foreign country. They know that Chinese Intervention would hinder rather than help them to achieve their political aim, and if they do, they would lose public appeal. 2. The Korean War is too painful anexperience for the Chinese Communist Government to recall. 3. Red China is unable to carry on any military activity at present outside China because of economic difficulties and political chaos within the country.

Gross WASHINGTON, D.C.--The gap between moderate and radical opponents of the Viet Nam war was dramatized last week as student leaders across the co~ntry adopted divergent tactics to mobilize student opinion against American policy in Viet Nam. . While 100 • student body presidents and campus editors were sending a restrained letter to President Johnson expressing their anxiety and doubts about U.S. policy, 273 campus radicals met in Chicago to plan demonstrations on four or five selected campuses in April to protest the draft, the war, and 'campus complicity" with the war effort. The letter, which received front-page coverage in the December 30 New Yerk Times, initiated a campaign by moderates to make their stand against the war 'the majority position in the country,• according to United States National Student Association (USNSA) Vice President Edward Schwartz, who helped to gather signatures for the letter. The student body presidents told the President that increasing numbers of students are deeply troubled about the war and warned that 'unless this conflict can be eased, the United States will find some of her most loyal and courageous young people choosing to so to jail rather than to bear their country's arms.' The letter urged the President to clarify American objectives in Viet Nam so as to ease the fo1iowing student doubts about U.S. policy. •--that America's vital interests are sufficiently threatened in Viet Nam to necessitate the growing commitment there; --that such vital interests as may be threatened are best protected by this growing commitment; and --that a war which may devestate much of the countryside can lead to the stable and prosperous Viet Nam we once hoped our presence would help create.' In keeping with the moderate tone of the letter, the signers described themselves and many of their contemporaries as 'people as devoted to the Constitution, to the democratic process, and to law and order as were their fathers and brothers who served willingly in two World Wars and Korea.' The idea to send the letter grew out of a debate at last August's NSA Congress between moderate Allard K. Lowenstein. a former NSA president and radical David Harris, the Stanford University study body president. At that time Lowenstein suggested the letter in response to Harris' call for students to send their draft cards back to their local boards in protest against the war. The letter, Lowenstein said, would be a far more effective political tactic than demonstrations, which, he said, antagonize a large segment of the public. Although a first draft of the letter garnered more than 100 signatures at the Congress from student body presidents and vice-presidents, the students decided to set up a steering committee to write the letter and to attract more signatures. Although the revised version was partially completed by early November, committee members said they considered a Dec. 30 release, building on peace hopes arising from the Christmas andNewYear's truces, better timed. 'We didn't want it to look like an election gimmick,' steering committee chairman Abby Erdmann, a Smith College sophomore said; •... all the while we were hoping that something would happen that would make the letter unnecessary. Something .like a cessation in the bombings or a major shift in the Administration's policy.' While the moderates try to add further signatures to their letter, student radicals will be planning demonstrations on several camfuses in coordination with an April 15 mobilization' against the war in New York City and San Francisco. These tactics were set at the Dec. 29-30 National Conference for a Student Strike for Peace, held in Chicago, but the group did not announce which campuses were its targets. The radicals- urged students to take such actions as class boycotts, picketing, teach-ins or other demonstrations. Besides a student strike, the conference urged the following measures to radicalize student opinion against the war. --civil disobedience; --war tribunals, modeled after British philosopher Bertrand Russell's projected international court to President Johnson, Secretary of State Dean Rusk, and Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara for alleged 'war crimes'. STUDENT REPORTER FffiED FROM EXPO MONTREAL (CUP)--A student newspaperman who exposed discriminatory practices in hiring executive staff of the Expo youth pavillion has been fired from Expo 67's youth advisory council. Harvey Oberfield, arts 3 and a reporter at The Georgian, student paper at Sir George Williams University, was approached last year by the committee and offered the post of public information officer. He had previously written an article rallying support for the youth pavillion. But when 13 of 14 executive staff members appointed turned out to be French-Canadians, the reporter got off the Expo bandwagon. He then wrote a letter to a Montreal newspaper condemning this action as discriminatory, urging that action be taken to rectify further paid appointments. The matter was raised in the House of Commons, when Robert Coates (PC-Cumberland) questioned trade minister Robert Winters as to the validity of statements Oberfield made in his letter. The minister replied he would look into the matter, and later in the week, reported to the Commons that indeed 13 of the appointees were French-Canadian. But he maintained no discrimination was involved. • Meanwhile, Oberfield received a letter from the youth advisory committee informing him he has been sacked by a unanimous vote of the adviso committee. ~EITHER PRO-SHARP NOR PRo-GOBDON' Hon. Robert Winters The Honourable Robert Winters, Minister of· Trade and Commerce, has denied that he is either leftist or rightist orientated. The former industrialist also added in an Argus interview: 'I think that I can be considered neither proSharp nor pro-Gordon'. 'I consider myself proWinters'. Speaking onRedChina'sadmittance into the United Nations, Winters hinted that personally he was in favour of such. But, he also added that Canadian acceptance was not feasible at this time because of our commitments to other Western nations. Folk-sinAer Helen O'Neill COFFEE HOUSE By Frank Shoemaker It's finally happened. It's been a fairly lon_g time since the Fourth Dimension closed its doors on Folkmusic and let the 'bubblegummers' take over the scene with high pitched guitars, and ~over-tone' rock, or as they prefer to call it 'Rhythm and Blues'. Now, after months and months of preparation a new coffee house has opened in Fort William, and in case r,ou don't know yet, it's called The Blue Flame'. a very appropriate name for a coffeehouse. The Blue Flame opened its doors officially as a coffeehouse last Monday night )Vith a sweet looking newcomer to Folk music; Helen O'Neill. Helen is a 23 year old brunette from Timmins. She taught before taking up the guitar. but discarded teaching as a lost cause. Although she was referred to as a relative newcomer to Folk music, that doesn't mean that some four years with various groups before she went on her own. She picked up the guitar about two years ago and has a distinctive fingerpicking style, comparable to that of Carolyn Hester or Tom Paxton. Helen has a beautiful voice which should make her a very successful folk-singer. With an easy ~ace she rambled through Many a Mile' by Pat Sky, 'Can't Help But Wonder Where I'm Bound' by Tom Paxton, 'Changes' by Phil Ochs, 'Morning Town' by Malvina Reynolds, 'Reason to Believe• by Tim Hardin, and many more ballads that filled the night and created an atmosphere of easy relaxation. Helen has appeared at various hootenannies at the now famous Riverboat in To- A&W ·DRIVE-IN ronto as well as regular engagements at the Mousehole, The Village Corner and Steeles Tavern in Toronto. The Blue Flame •(in case you' re wondering) is located on Victoria Avenue, next to the St. Louis Hotel. Folkmusic starts at nine and finishes at one. The club has thrown out all the youngsters in an attempt to get the Senior High School and University students and those of 18 andovertocomeandmake this one coffeehouse their campus grounds. Helen is booked here until February 11, but there is a possibility that she will be held over an -additional week. r------""!"""'""""""""""--' ., ' HERTZ ,., -~.. '\, .....

Next month, Branco will hand over power to Marshal Costa e Silva. At the same time a new constitution will take' effect--a constitution which attempts to legalize the de facto administration which took office after the 1964 coup. Important points of the next constitution include the indirect election of the president by an electoral college; the judgement of civilians by military court; the authorization of the president to sign emergency decrees; the delegation of some legislative powers to the executive; and a referendum for constitutional amendment required by the president but rejected by congress; exclusive presidential powers over finance laws; and loss of political rights for those who attempt to subvert the •democratic regime•. In short, the constitution asserts the unchallengeable authority of the military. Criticism of the constitution is widespread, even among those who support the general aims of the government, partic1 larly at the way the constitution was bul dozed through congress--the president o: dered congress to approve the constitutic by January 24th so that it could becon law in time for the change in governmer There is also great uneasiness about tl increasing powers of the military--an w easiness hardly lessened by the fact th just before Christmas the president intrc duced a bill restricting certain press 1 berties.

But Mr. Shannon is an honourable man. This year the Athletic Department set up a new intramural sports program with the new addition of hockey but there is only a broomball rink constructed, if you want to kill yourself on that ice surface. So where and when do we play these hockey games, Mr. Shannon? The two reasons given for the absence o our hockey rink was that there was a lac] of room and that the ground was not leve enough.

I'EE (OR) PAGE 3 By Colleen Cupples and Owen Marks HOW THE ADMINISTRATION TRIES TO PREVENT STUDENT RIOTS Students across Canada are starting to break out of their self-imp'.>sed characterizations as faceless nonentities in a sterile university environment, and are demanding a voice in university government decision making. Groups at Queen's, Montreal, Saskatoon, Manitoba, Western Ontario and Victoria have requested, and are receiving representation on the administration's policymaking bodies, whether they be faculty bodies or actual senates. Of course, the representations at this writing are discouragingly small (for example, 2 students on a senate composed of 70 members in Montreal), but students are still frustrated enough to demand more than the token condescencions of their elders. John Patrick, students' council president at U. W.0., commenting on his senate's decision to allow one student observer to its meetings, stated, 'It is a very, very disheartening • situation.' Patrick says he feels the board hasn't realized the council's main contention that all university members should participate in its government. This is the basic problem of most progressive student leaders. These protestations from across Canada are the result of student unrest, linked with frustration in their attempts to gain a genuine control in their universities' affairs. Naturally enough, a representation of 2 students on a board of 70 other members will not gain this. It is, however, a stan. At Lakehead there is a small council known as the University Committee. Seated on this council are seven administrators and seven students. It is at these irregularly held meetings t:1!,at students and administrators discuss anything ranging from bus commuter service to tuitions, from Slavic studies to medical services. In this way it is hoped the students may have a genuine representation in the policymaking areas of the university. Ideally the students and administrators are able to work out any problems and then take their recommendations to the Senate or the Board of Governors, where they are voted upon. This system works only if students are seated who know what they are talking about, and don't sit under the table, willing to accept every suggestion from the other seven members from the administration. The ARGUS endeavoured to interview a representative sample of the members of the University Committee, and to determine how satisfied/ dissatisfied the Committee members were with the system. Dean of Students, John Kerr, felt that student representation on the Senate was not the best strategy if our students wanted to have some part in policy-making. In view of the fact that a situation such as that of the 2/70 ratio at the University of Montreal would likely occur, if our students were seated on the Senate, he said that they would probably serve more effectively on committees of the policymaking bodies, rather than on such bodies per se. As for our own University Committee, Dean Kerr said that, 'It hasn't yet reached its potential; but we should all work industriously to ensure that it does.' He said that student observers at Senate meetings wouldn't serve the purpose desired, but he strongly felt that the press shouldbepre- Representation • Ill Sight WINNIPEG (CUP)--The University of Manitoba may soon join a growing group of Canadian universities which have succeeded in gaining student representation on university governing bodies. _ - Friday (Feb. 3) -the University Colle_ge Faculty Council, which governs U of M's third largest faculty, passed a motion to give students six seats on the council. The decision, which received almost unanimous approval from the council, Will go before the board of governors Feb. 16. If the board approves the motion, it Will be the first time U of M students have participated in administrative decision making. , College provost Murray Donnelly said ~e would ••• like to hear what the students will have to say. Donnelly declined to comment on the boarct s possible decision, saying, •~ don't predict things like this. I wait for them to happen. OVER 21comeCLUB individually and meet On January 14 the first meeting of the Over 21 Club was held in the senior lounge. Judging by the attendance then and on F ebrua:cy 4 the senior students don,t seem to be aware of the purpose of this event which is being sponsored by a group of senior students. The club was initiated to provide the more than 500 L.U. students who are over 21 with an evening to them.selves; where they can relax in an atmosphere which is primarily intellectual. It is meant to provide a forum for the discussion and exchange of ideas and the opportunity to develop attitudes and responsibilities of a univer-sity flavour. The students and faculty are encouraged to others. After they become acquainted, the members will be expected to plan the activities of the club, which will be the only organization with licensed premises on campus, and as such will be preserved as a senior function. It is hoped that the programme will be varied by using folk singers, speakers, films, and dancing. The evenings are operated on a cost basis to ease the expense pressure on members. The faculty is expected to provide a good deal of the food for thought. The organi.Zation is also looking for a new name - one that will reflect the sophisticated atmosphere that is intended. sent at the Committee meetings, and that this was likely to occur as the Committee evolved. In regards to student representation on the Senate of any Canadian universities, Kerr doubted whether any university was ready for such a measure. Mr. Joseph St. Amand, President for University Schools on the A.M.S. council, commenting on the Committee, said, 'I think it's great. It's something a lot of other schools don't have. You have to rememberthatwe're dealing With the top J>eople in the administration. Mr. St. Amand did not feel that students at Lakehead were experienced enough as yet to have an actual seat in the Senate. 'When they know what they're really talking about, I think it will be time for student representation in the Senate. Right now, I think it's better if we can try at our own level in order that we can alleviate the problems. An Associate Professor of Botany, and member of the Senate, Mr. D. Lindsay, thought that student representation on the Senate must be carefully considered. He didn't think that at this time the students at Lakehead were capable of maturely handling the problems discussed by the Senate. Mr. Lindsay also said that 'even most academics take at least one year to get accustomed to the workings of the Senate.' Because of this difficulty, he believed that in certain fields, the University Committee may be more useful than representation on the Senate. Mr. Doug Robson, first year Business Administration, and another student on the Committee, felt that this body was a good idea, but was perhaps not enough. 'What we need besides this Committee is actual seating on the Senate, so that they can get the real student viewpoint on this campus, firstha nd -' Speaking on student participation in the Senate, Mr. D. Margan, Director of Finance, stated that he felt it would be a good thin~, but since he himself didn t sit on the Senate, his opinions weren't informed. One ofthe shortcomings of the Committee, he thought, was that it lacked representation from the Board of Governors; in fact 'they are the poorer for not being represented on the Committee.' Dr. W.Tamblyn, Lakehead's President and chairman of both the Senate and the University Committee, said, 'I think that matters of student concern may be dealt with far more effectively in bodies such as the Committee. They help to develop a good university atmosphere and even better student-administration communications.' He added that personally he favoured appointment of a student observer at some Senate meetings, but he didn't think that at this time it was feasible from the students' viewpoint to have an actual voting membership. The President of the Alma Mater Society, Wayne Tocher!, was somewhat less than completely satisfied with the Committee, though. 'It's a good first step since many beneficial constructive things have come out. But the Committee does not have the formal power to state opinion where it really counts. Remember it's only the third highest body in the University.'

The first game started off very badly with neither team able to hit the basket with any consistency.

Thesecond half saw two changed teams take the floor as Lakehead University hit seven out of eight field goals and Cambrian hit seven out of ten in the first five minutes of play. At this point the roof fell in for Cambrian as both Fletcher and Barber fouled out. Nor'Westers then took complete charge as they raced the score up to a 6343 final. For Cambrian the high scorers were Fletcher and Plaskett with 12 each and Kommsaar with 8. For the Nor'Westers Holmstrom scored 19 followedbyElvinand Kostyahyn with 10 each. The second game played Sunday was a much better game of basketball with both teams trading baskets throughout. The Nor'Westers led ·34 to 26 at the end of the first half and never looked back as they went on to defeat Cambrian by a score of 73 to 60. Fletcher, Cambrian' s high scoring centre, had the best single effort of any indivi.. dual opponent the Nor' Westers have faced this year as he led both teams with a fine 30 point effort. Paul Barber was the only other Cambrian player to score in the double figures as he hooped 16 points. Don Holmstrom again led the Nor'Westers with 23 points followed by George Kostyahyn with 16 and Jim Johnson with 9.

This is a finding of a Report on Health and Psychiatric Services on Canadian Campuses by UBC's Dr. Conrad Schwarz which examines the whole range of medical services available to the Canadian student. The facilities at Lakehead University stand far down the list. There is no professional Student Health Service this year but plans call for the establishment of such a service next year. The availability of two first aid men was recently announced by the custodial department. A psychiatric service was started in 1965. It consists of one consulting psychia- trist who gives two halfdays per month to the assessment of students but no treatment facilities are available. The 'Schwarz' Report, which was published early in 1967 by the Canadian Union of Students, shows that while 77 .5% of Canadian campuses have some kind of health service, only 44. 9% provide any sort of psychiatric service. Schwarz points out that the signs of student unrest so often noted by university administrators and government officials, are very often a result of the student's search for identity. He states that in late adolescence 'the average university student is still engaged in... the complex process by which (he) defines those values, standdards and attitudes which will give him a reasonably consistent approach to the responsibliities of adult life ciety which has replaced the in the particular society in old order, and the student which he chooses to live.' dissatisfaction with the inThe report suggests that du- creasing bureaucracy of the ring his university career educational process have a studentneedstohave'mea- 'led to a widening gap beningful relationships which tween faculty and students'. will help him define himself This has meant that students as a total person' in order have for the most part to successfully complete this stopped talking to their professors about personal promaturation process.

'I am disturbed at the approach the RCMP uses--seeking interviews on a personal basis with people who are obvious:.. ly selected for the position they hold,• Ward said in a prepared statement, Tuesday. 'It is entirely possible that youth leaders provide information in a manner quite contrarr to the knowledge or wishes of the people who elect them . CUS raised the issue Monday by asking Prime Minister Pearson 'to protest strong1i.': the covered intrusion of the CIA' into CUS affairs and to provide assurance that the RCMP is not engaged in any similar operation•. Asked why CUS made the statement, Ward replied, 'My prime concern is that students do not become involved in a network of information over which they have no future control'. In 1965 and 1966, CUS receivedtwin$1500payments from the Foundation of Youth and Student Affairs, an alleged CIA front organization. The money went towards financing two student conferences, Ward explained, and at notimedidFYSA or the CIA attempt to influence the course the meetings took. Ward described as 'friendly an interview last summer with an RCMP officer held at CUS headquarters. A request from Ward that the talk be'consideredpublicand non-confidential' was met by the RCMP. 'In addition to expressing interest in receiving information on the tradition topic, Eastern European Student Politics, the officer mentioned that he was particuarly interested in knowing about subversion in Canada. 'I refused to involve myself or the Union in such activities• Ward said. 'Since then there has been no further contact from the RCMP'. Reporters zeroed in on other possible CIA payments to CUS, but Ward maintained that except for the two FYSA grants, there was only an indirect grant from FYSA to World Assembly of Youth to CUS. Ward travelled to a number of international student conferences. '! A_>;! """ lcnnw tn whAt extent our ex~rience has been duplicated around the country', he said, But I should hope that it will come clear in the next few days•. Ward expressed dissatisfaction with the Prime Minister• s refusal Monday to protest formally the CIA' s 'covered intrusion• into CUS affairs. 'I don,t believe it (Mr. • Pearson's statement) is very satisfactory: FEBRUARY 24, 1967 US GEN.-SEC. -CUS SUSPECTED PORT ARTHUR (CUP) - The general secretary of World University Service of Canada has expressed surprise that executive members of CUS were not aware that they were receiving CIA funds in 1965 and 1966. 'To my personal lc.tlowledge, it was common gossip among the officers of CUS two or th ree years ago• . He added, 'I am' not referring to junior officers. I am referring to senior officers that would be involved in this sort of negotiation. CUS is perfectly aware who its officers were. If CUS prefers to remain quiet then I am not going to speak'. 'But I know one person for sure, I can be absolutely certain, knew or suspected that it (money) was coming from the CIA. It was common knowledge at the time that a lot of organizations were being helped by the Council of Students and Youth Affairs.' L.U. NOR'WESTERS •• LEAGUE CHAMPS -- SEE PAGE 4. Concerning the whole affair (one in which the Internatio1¥1l WUS was implicated), Mr. Mayer stated, A lot of fuss is being raised retrospectively over something which didn't seem to create much trouble at the time. I also think the criterian is not where the money came from but where it was spent.' But on the rumour of high CUS officers a few years ago facetiously joking about their CIA involvement Mayer said, 'At sort of outside meetings in social gatherings, people were making cracks about the CIA money being used. Now whether they had reason for making these cracks or whether they were just being faceteous I don• t know'. Mr Mayer went on to mention also that CIA funds partly financed the 1962 International Students Conference at Laval University, in Quebec City. Mr Mayer stated these opinions at an ARGUS interview on Tuesday, Februa,,., 21. ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• OTTAWA (CUP) - 'Any speculation by student leaders as to the possible sources of NSA funds has always been just that-s~culation', Doug Ward said Wednesday. The stories about a rumour a lot of us have suspected the NSA received money from the US government for international activities and that the NSA had undue influence over the way US money was used to support international student activities. 'But to the best of my knowledge it has always been in the realm of rumours--a whole spectrum of rumour about where the money mi~t have come from•. Ward said, Mr Mayer is old enought to know the difference between rumour and reality and that rumour is not enough to go on. If Mayer knew definitely that the money came from the CIA, I am sorry he did not divulge it three years ago.' Paul Becker, a former WUS Vice-President and CUS Vice-President, backed up Ward, stating, 'There has never been any documentary evidence or statements by people who should know, linking the FYSA to the NSA and CIA'.

CUS past-president Pat Kenniff, contacted in Quebec City, said C US had applied for and received a grant from FYSA to sponsor two seminars on international affairs, one in 1964-65 and the other in 1965-60. CUS received about $1,500 from FYSA. • CUS President Doug Ward in Ottawa Sunday said, 'We figured they had a great interest in giving money to student organizations and since there is little money available in Canada, we applied for the grant.' Last week Ward denied CUS had received CIA money. Commenting on Winkler's allegations, Ward added, 'To the best of my knowledge, none of this money has ever been offered to CUS.' Kenniff denied too that any CIA funds other than the FYSA grant had been given to CUS during his tenure. TELEX INSTAI,I,ED EIGHT PAGES Both Ward and Kenniff said they hadn't known FYSA was connected with the CIA until last week, and Ward added, 'I don't think the CIA got very good value for their money•. David Jenkins, 1963-64 CUS President, contacted Sunday flight in Calgary, said during his year in office CUS had regular communications with the U.S. National Student Association, but that 'at no time was I aware that they were involved with the CIA: Ramparts Magazine revealed last week the NASA had been receiving large amounts of money from the CIA for the past 15 years. . The Times article also listed Crossroads Africa, World University Service, and the United States Student Press Association among 25 organizations receiving FYSA aid. USSPA Secretary Robert Gross _said his organization had received $2,900 from a CIA-affiliated foundation in the summer of 1965 to finance an Indian student working on a U.S. campus paper and a study of USSPA international programming. In the House of Commons last Friday, Mr. Winkler asked for an investigation to en-' sure the CIA and RCMP don't use students at Canadian universities to gather police intelligence. In reply, Defence Minister Paul Hellyer said he had no knowledge that students were engaged in undercover assignments for the C::IA, but promised to investigate. 'We didn't know the CIA was backing the NSA or the ISC (International Student Conference),' commented Richard Good, former CUS Vice-President, in Winnipeg. 'We had assumed the State Department was involved with the NSA and the NSA channeled funds to the ISC .' Good said the Canadian position has been that the ISC was being used as a tool for cold war politics, and one of the reasons for CIA support was to thwart the Communist-backed International Union of Students. The recent disclosures might lead to the ISC's demise, Good predicted. Two-thirds of the ISC budget comes from U.S. sources. �THE February FEBRUARY 24 , 19 PAGE 2 THE ARGUS Turmoil ARGUS The ARGUS is published weekly by the Alma Mater Society of Lakehead University.

We appreciate the effort and inconvenience to the library staff that is involved, but wonder what happens to the students who find it necessary to use the library Saturday afternoons when Sunday follows, as it has a habit of doing. Even if present library attendance on Saturday afternoon is not overwhelming, with pre-exam panic impending, Sunday openings will be justified shortly. The ARGUS recommends that the library staff look into the possibilities of making the reading-room facilities available to students on Sunday afternoon from 12 to 5 p.m. cl is hope for an ev~ntual stable educat1011 system. Nevertheless, what stimulated the Strilc From where did the force come to instigl: this rising action? A Parent Commissi assigned in 1961 to investigate the arcru educational system in the province, I prepared numerous briefs. Its findings ha concluded, that the majority of teache need upgrading.

It is simply a presentation of internal educational problems: the French-English Catholic Teacher's Strike. The Quebec government has passed a form of legislation with wHich the adjective, remedial is undoubtedly associated. Remedial legislation has always been repugnant; a policy of •sunny ways', reechoing Wilfird Laurier•s phrase seems to be more agreeable. But there is no doubt that without this perhaps appropriate action taken by Daniel Johnson• s Union Nationale Party, the strike would have been interminable. No hope of agreement was apparent. Parent groups and high school and university students tried to act as substitutes while the teachers were on strike. Nonetheless, this temporary set up was insufficient. Unequivocally, the school children were falling behind; they, in the long run, would be the ones to suffer. True, the teachers have valid points of contention--particularly in their demands for better pay and working conditions--but had the teachers' unions not called a strike the provincial government might have been more receptive. • Incidently, the government's legislation or Bill 25 which prohibits further strikes until 1968 also proposed the establishment of a system of collective bargaining on a provincial scale. The government will probably use the latter clause to support its action explicitly. In it, perhaps there 24, 1967, Volume 1, no. XIII, Port Arthur.

The fact that the ARGUS staff and the AMS executive have frequently been on the outs is common knowledge, but on our part at least, there has been a sometime admiration for a difficult job competently done. We realize that positions on the AMS executive are second in order of difficulty at this university, (the most difficult being the positions of ARGUS staffers), and although these offices are overrated, the persons who s0erved in these capacities this year have risked their academic year, not to mention life and limb, to serve the student body. What was in it for them? Certainly not monetary gain-the honoraria would scarcely pay for the spirits necessary to aid in a temporary escape from office duties. Surely it can't have been the appeal of a mad social whirl. Working late at night and on weekends isn't the sort of mad social whirl one usually thinks of. We are at a lo~s to determine just why they did run, but once elected, our executive have, to the best of their abilities, devoted themselves to that nebulous thing called the students' interest. One final suggestion. Now that the executive are turning over their offices, to the new executive, with all that free time on their hands, the ARGUS is willing to accept any literary efforts they might like to busy themselves with. Next week we will offer equal space to the outgoing executive to allow them to pat the ARGUS on the back .

FEBRUARY 24, 19 U.S. STUDENT GROUPS LINKED WITH aA Washington, DC (CUP)--Three more college student groups were linked Wednesday to undercover financial backing by the United States Central Intelligence Agency. As the controversy mushroomed, a Congressman said military draft deferments have been granted leaders of one group. But the CIA remained silent about a report in a Washington newspaper that it was giving financial aid to three other student organizations in addition to the National Student Association, the largest student organization in the US. The Evening Star identified the three other groups as the US Youth Council with head.quarters in New York, the World Assembly of Youth in Brussels, and the International Student Conference in Leyden, Netherlands. Tuesday the government acknowledged the NSA · had been receiving funds from the American espionage agency for more than a decade. Thus the ISC, which is American-backed, is by implication receiving financial support from the CIA. But confirmation or denial of CIA involvement with the two other student groups has not been forthcoming. The draft deferment disclosure occurred when Democrat Robert W. Kastenmeier said he had information that top NSA officers automatically received a 2-A occupational deferment from the selective service board. 'It goes with the job,' said Mr. Kastenmeier, -one of eight House of Representatives members who called on President Johnson to order an inquiry 'at the highest level' of the NSA-CIA link. But a Selective Service spokesman denied Mr. Kastenmeier's charge, saying he knew of no special treatment for National Student Association officers.

(CUP) --The American State Department revealed Tuesday (Feb. 14) that the Central Intelligence Agency has been a secret financial backer of the United States' largest student organization for more than 10 years. The disclosure has threat-ened the future of the National Student Association, especially in the U.S.-backed International' Student Conference, and has promised a new storm in academic circles and in Congress over the spy agency's operations. The NSA plays a prominent role in the ISC, the American counterpart of the Russian-dominated International Union of Students. By accepting CIA funds, the American student associa•tion is by implication under CIA control, and thus a mouthpiece for the CIA instead of the voice for the one million American college students it represents. But Capitol Hill sources familiar with CIA activities said privately they were aware of the CI.A-NSA financial ties and the State Department indicated the relationship was approved "at the high levels of government•. NSA president Eugene Groves revealed the financial connection after Ramparts magazine said in news- it would expose •how the CIA has infiltrated andsubverted the world of American stu- ' dent leaders". •The relationship apparently originated because the Central Intelligence Agency believed that a strong American national union of students acting internationally (in the ISC) was in the national interest,• the 23-year-old Groves said. CUS has associate membership status and no vote in both the International Student Conference and the International Union of Students. Student organizations of this type have been made • conscious instruments of a rather pathetic cold war,• the CUS chief said. A year ago, Jim Laxer, then the president of Canadian University Press, was the first to say the NSA received funds from sources other than its 287 member schools. The NSA raises •the bulk of its annual budget of several hundred thousanddollars from American foundations and even from the American government,• Laxer wrote in a feature at that time. He did not identify the CIA as the government agency giving the NSA a financial boost. lete attitude, what is needed is recognition that the student is also the leading critic of university and society. . Because the student is not yet absorbed into the institutions of society and not yet fully awareofhowfactscompromise ideals, he is in the best position to cast a skeptical eye on the pretensions of educators and other decisionmakers. To share power is to share responsibility. If students · were to receive a vote as well as a voice in the affairs o f university and society, they could no longer serve as independent critics. But if they are denied both a vote and a voice, then they can only return to the role of .passive consumers--or become social revolutionaries.

The initial projects consist of three additional floors for the library, a Science-Technology building to be called the Centennial Building, and a fieldhouse. The first evidence of work beginning will be the deactivating of the parking lot to the west of the University Centre. A count of cars parking on campus indi'cates that there will be sufficient parking area in the new lot to accommodate the displaced parkers. At the same tilne the road servicing that lot will be closed and all traffic will be forced to use the road which runs on the east side of the library. The three major projects will be serviced from a central Boiler House which will necessitate considerable underground development and will lead to a partial land- Schwartz Report Blasted scape programme. In view of the fact that the Centennial Building, with its power house, is such a large project it was decided to call tenders for a Management Contractor to act as an agent of the University for this project only. The successful bidder was Barnett-McQueen Co., Ltd. of the Lakehead. Their main duties will be scheduling, expediting, cost control, and gen~ral coordination of all the contractors who work on that building. It will be a five story structure with connection to the University Centre and will be located in the area west of the Centre. Tenders were calledand the contract let to BirdConstruction for the addition of three stories to the library building. Work on this project is to start immediately. Construction traffic will of necessity use the same road as all university traffic. The general contract fol the Athletic Building will be tendered on the 20th and con, struction should start abou the middle of March. It wil be located across the rivei to the west of the ptesen campus so the constructioJ traffic should cause littlt disruption.

M O to r • Mitchell pposition s reinstatement was spearheaded by AMS Chief Justice, Peter Rusak, and President Wayne Tocheri, who both brought to the attention of Council members the fact that Mitchell had missed eight of the fourteen AMS meetings. 'This is not a very enviable record,' said Tocheri. But Mitchell said he had good reason for his record of absenteeism. His 'reasonable reason' stemmed from the fact that he was forced to miss two meetings because of preparation for the Arts Folk Festival, three meetings to act as provisional head of the Housing Bureau, two meetings because of illness, and one meeting because of an accident. He MORLEY MITCH ELL added· that he had told Mr. Tocheri of the reasons for his missing the meetings. T ocheri then acknowledged that he had been warned of Mitchell's reasons, but that five of these explanations came on the day after the meetin~s. 'I don t see how::Mr. Mitchell can justify his position. I think it would be a very poor policy for councillors to set this situation as a precedent,' · said Mr . Tocher!.

ELECTION WRAP-UP SIJLPHBB GETS HIS reeommemlatw,u JI088M After a short three month delay, Council has finally passed Mr. Dave Sulpher's honoraria recommendations. At the meeting of the 27th, Council members passed the following recommendations: AMS President $ 300 AMS Treasurer $300 AMS Vice-President $225 AMS Secretary $175 Society Presidents $ 50 Yearbook Editor '67 $150 '68 $150 Argus Editor-in-chief $250 Argus Co-editors '67 $100 Chief Justice $ 75 C US Chairman - to be set by AMS Council at the end of his term in office AMS Councillors - AMS Cards Mr. Sulpher' s only comment on the AMS action towards his recommendations was, 'Table, table, table, that's all I ever heard!' Council members threw out a plea from the ARGUS for a payment of $200 for ARGUS staffers other than the editor - in - chief for next year. FLASH---AMS Council voted itself three hundred dollars for a THANK YOU AMS party at the end of this year. With 448 votes Peter Young was swept to a virtual landslide victory in voting for the AMS executive last week. Julie Wierzbicki picked up 236 votes, mostly from her home faculty of Arts. Doug Robson grabbed the Vice-Presidency by a respectable margin and Don Lees squeaked past Bill Weiler by 14 votes to take the Treasurership. Wendy Ticknor defeated Joan Stuart by more than 100 votes to clinch the position of Secretary. The percentage of students voting was well over 60%, a tremendous turnout in comparison to other campuses. About 70% of artsmen, over 50% of Science Students, 60% from University Schools, and 55% of the Diploma Nurses voted. . In the race for President, the candidates were fairly close after the ArtsScience-Commerce votes were in, with Young holding a lead of less than 100 votes. The University Schools and nurses, however, gave Mr. Young over threequarters of their votes to build his majority to over 200. Doug Robson held a consistent lead over his rival, Ted Walker, but surprisingly had a smaller margin in his own faculty than in Mr. Walker's. Voting for this position was significantly less than for the others. Only 659 of 7 41 voters made a choice for the position of Vice-President. By far the most exciting race was the contest ·between Lees and Weiler. When the Arts-Science-Commerce votes were in Mr. Weiler held a slim 21 vote lead. The University Schools vote swung the advantage to a 10 point lead for Lees and the Nurses extended this to 14. Miss Ticknor achieved strong majorities in every faculty but nursing where Joan Stuart, her opponent almost doubled Miss Ticknor' s score. All the winning candidates expressed satisfaction with the executive they will be working with and admitted that all the campaigns were hard-fought with no victories assured until the official announcement. ~~ If~\~~~ 1//1('. 0 ~ .a .~'"/~ ,e' _.A I Pres.

I think that a lot of them really try. It's not just the professor's fault - it is also the students' fault. Most students want teachers as a separate entity because that's the way they were brought up in high school. This is true especially with the first year students. But I think by the time you get into third year most of the students start relating to the profs. better. WAYNE AITKEN, Bus.Ad. II 1 No, I don't. I think there is a lot of room for improvement, both in the classrooms and in the cafeteria. Discussions should involve not only academic but social problems. MARY McVICAR, Arts II Communications between students and professors de.. pend partly on both. Some profs. are very interestedin the student and with them one can discuss certain problems. Others aren'tveryap.. proachable. Of course there· are students who don't care either. MARY REKSZYNSKI,Arts II No, not enough. Most of my professors get their ideas across qUite well in class, but discussions are rather formal. I don't know how you could encourage more informal communication but I think it would depend on both teacher and student . , meeting each other halfway. ICHARD BOZYNSKI, Sci- ence (Nur) I Yes, I 'would say that the professors as a general rule are communicating with the students; to my experience they are quite willing to help if requested. TOM GROULX, Ans II In the classrooms yes, the cafeteria one doesn• t see too much of them. But I would say that Lakehead University is still above the par because of its smaller size. �WPAGENINE POET ln tle dusk preceding darkness, black laces and brown suede shoes with open books and Russian music filling the air, aided by pipe smoke And empty walls covered by newspaper clippings of death to be laughed at Clocks with empty faces tell the time, and there is a cup with coffee dregs in the bottom There is only one light and even it is dim like the thoughts screwed up and thrown into the waste-basket And there is German here: So komme, was da kommen mag: So Lang du lebest, ist es Tag ... lch seh dein lie bes An gesicht, lch sehe die Schatten der Zukunft nicht. by Fiorito He looks a kindly grandfather, white sidewhiskers, wispy white hair, gentle manner.

ROMANUSSTARANZAK PENNY CONNOR ~ CLIJB Eight years ago the Lakehead Chess Club was founded on the premises of the Northwestern Ontario Regional Library. It led an adventuresome life moving to downtown Fort William in recent years. Last year the Club was reorganized in order that students on campus might enjoy chess also. The Club is run entirely by the students. The ·elected executive consists of: President-Romanus Staranzak, Vice President -- Rene Larson, Secretary- treasurer--Penny Connor and Counselor-Andy Sitarik. Dr. Tamblyn serves as honorary president while Prof. D.D. Sudar is trustee. If you feel you have that aggressive, fighting instinct drop by the chess tunnel and defeat a few friends. Even if you feel you lack that spirit drop by anyways, study the chess players there, and try to imitate their devil-maycare attitude. If you do not know how to play, be assured that learning is quick and easy. A ten ye?,r old can learn in ten minutes. It will of course take slightly longer for university students, say up to fifteen minutes. The Chess Club plans to have D.A. Yanafsky, the Canadian Chess Champion here, live and in person at the university on March 18, to play forty players simultaneously. Remember, happiness is winning a game of chess.

The best scoring record in the west allowed the secondranked Bears to join basketball's Windsor Lancers and British Columbia Thunderbirds as teams named at the weekend to compete in the National Collegiate Championships March 5-11 at Olympiad •67 in Edmonton and Calgary. A 6-5 victory at home Saturday over Manitoba gave Alberta a first place tie with Saskatchewan in Westem Conference final standings. An 11 point advantage in points for-and-against gave Alberta its second straight league championship. Alberta failed Friday to win the title on points when they were dumped 6-3 bythe Bisons. Alberta won hockey's gold medal at the first Canadian Winter Games last weekend, but only when St. Francis Xaviercollapsedafter an 8-4 trouncing of the faltering Bears. trouble qualifying for the national championships. Top-rated Windsor Lancers used the Ontario-Quebec league playoff as a preparation for defence of their national crown at Olympiad '67. The powerful Lancers rolled Toronto 108-80 in the qualifying round and then stopped third-ranked Western Ontario 92-80. Western reached the final by defeat-: ing Queen's 75-65. The top-rated team in hockey, Toronto Varsity Blues, were forced to close their regular season in Toronto Friday with a 4-4 tie against Montreal. Toronto won 14 and lost one of their other league games. The Blues, who seek a second straight national championship, will join Waterloo, Western Ontario and Queen's next weekend in Toronto to decide the OAA' s representative to Olympiad '67. Representatives to the national championships from the Ottawa-St. Lawrence and Maritime Leagues are to be determined this weekend for both hockey and basketball.

The lecture will be held in the University Theatre at 7:45 p.m. The public is invited. Lecture Series Chairman Dr. John Rideout expressed pleasure at being able to present Mr. Taylor at such a crucial time in the political development of China and India. Mr. Taylor is an expert on both countries and will discuss the recent elections in India and the major con- frontations in China during his lecture, drawing contrasts and comparisons between the two countries. Now a member of the Globe and Mail's editorial Board, Mr. Taylor travelled thruout India last November and December on special assignment. His comments appeared in atwo-partpre-election analysis in the Globe weekend section in February. Mr. Taylor was the Far Eastern Correspondent for the Globe from 1962 until 1965. Based in Hong Kong for the first 18 months, he covered China and also visited Japan, South Korea, the Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Cambodia, Laos and South Vietnam. He was then based in Peking for the last 18 months, as one of four resident' correspondents from the West and the only North American. He travelled widely in China, visiting Canton, Shanghai, Nanking, Hanchow, Tainan, Kunming, Taiyuan, Sian, Yenan, Anshan, Loyang, Shenyang, Changchun and Harbin. He revisted South Viet Nam in November and December of 1965. His first book, Reporter in Red China was published by Random House of New York in 1966.

The Cultural Revolution in North America is the major theme of the discussion group, which has been set up until the end of the year. Under the sponsorship of Mr. J.D. Harding of the Psychology department, the discussjons have been concerned with such concepts as freedom and change. The 'Revolution', Mr. Harding feels, is manifested by young people who are striving for a more meaningful existence in terms of human, rather than material values. If you decide to leave your cardplaying, or coffee cups, you will be welcomed with open arms. Arr,w, Poll JIM PURCELL PRESENTS CHEQUE to MR. ROY McKEE. Circle K On Thursday evening of March 2, the Lakehead University Circle K Club hosted an interclub dinner meeting in the Great Hall. The clubs involved were the Fort Wil11am - Port Arthur Kiwanis Club, Westfort Kiwanis Club, • Circle K from United College in Winnipeg, and the Lakehead University Circle K. Head table guests included President Tamblyn and Jack Evans, Kiwanis Lleute. nant Governor of Division I, Western Canada. Following • the business meeting which featured the presentation of a cheque from Lakehead U. Circle K to the Kiwanis Crippled Children Fund, Dean Kerr delivered an informative message pertaining to education. The evening was completed with a tour of the University. ----------- 8-Ballers Lead Clarkes Clippers defeated the Lakehead University Nor'Westers 65-62 Monday for theirfirstwinofthebestof-five final to determine the champion of the Thunder Bay Men's Senior Basketball League.

For the Clarkes, Dave Moshenko and Wayne Chuchmuch played strong games. SUMMER EMPLOYMENT Results of our employment poll indicate that students are more interested in their summer jobs than in their sex lives as returns were generally complete and sincere. Male degree students seem to earn more, and expect more than diploma students. They are, however, more susceptable to unemployment. Degree students averaged almost two jobs per summer but made considerably more than those in the diploma courses. The females, surprisingly, had less UJ:!employment problems but this was small consolation in that they earned very little in the way of coin. Unless they want to pick up a pick and shovel their situation is unlikely to change. The last question, concerning the establishment of a private student placement office which would be concerned only with summer jobs, prompted many comments. The majority of responses expressed satisfaction with the Manpower services on campus. It was pointed out however, that only about 15% of summer jobs last year ~ere -found through this office and that it must be more concerned with placing graduates than with temporary work. Here are the results: Male Female deg dip 1. How many weeks were you unemployed last summer? 2.3 2.4 2.0 How manyweeksdidyouwork? 114.2 14.2 14.0 2. What was your net income last summer?

Tom Kelly The Screamers Dear Sirs, It appears to me that at the beginning of the year, 'the AMS held elections for AMS councillors whom they felt would represent the students to the best of their ability. Apparently, as the year· proceeds, a lot of s~udents feel they are being taken for a ride. Well, that is their tough luck. The voting at the polls was less~ than 40% - a tremenrJous turnout on behalf of the 'SCREAMERS'. The ORCUS conference was the first issue, and now it is the $3,000 -folk singing tour that was passed at the last AMS meeting which is raising hell. Either we put in councillors who will represent you (the majority), and shut up, or scrap the whole AMS. If there were more students thinking, instead of bitching, we would have a better student union. YOU people pay the AMS fee, so how about smartening up next year and voting, instead of sitting back and grumbling to the newspaper and filling out petitions. Quality or Quantity? Dear Editors: In your last edition of the ever popular ARGUS, you did a splendid write-upon the Nursing Degree students. Much to our dismay we began to see the light, in that WE seem to be the neglected ones. You seem to place more stress on the degree students than you do on us. We too are nurses and darn good ones at that, but why have we been left out? You've placed THEM on a glittering pedestal for all to look up to and where are we? Right at the bottom-- the lowest of the low. Aren't we just as important as THEY are? Don't OUR uniforms rate? Or for that matter, aren't we just as professional, if not . more, than the degree students? Why, then, all the favouritism? Why haven'twe been recognized for our position and status in this university? We do realize that we are only part time students but does that make us all the more insignificant? Man was created equal and we feel as important as they are. Our pride has been dama~ed because we feel that you ve given the majority ·a raw deal. How about giving the plain old nursing students, outside of the degree course, some acclamation? We think it's about time you showed some interest in usll 11 THE OTHER NURSING STUDENTS Foreign Ownership INTHECAFEl'EIIIA by Bryan Springgay This week's ,question: Do you think that the AMS should The problem of foreign inspend up to $3000 to subsidize the planned tour of vestment is one of the most American campuses by the Lakehead University Folk complex issues ever to face Spectacular? the Canadian people.

Thus, the nation cannot rely upon them to pursue an aggressive and expansionist foreign trade policy which will create jobs and a rising standard of living for future Canadians. Even more important than the economic dangers Canada presently faces are the political ones. American subsidiaries are prevented from trading with Cuba and other nations which the U.S. government deems undesirable. There always exists the danger that direct economic pressure would be brought to bear to force Canada into pursuing a policy deemed vital by the U.S. in foreign affairs. The- Canadian government should therefore take legislative action to cut down present American influence, and to hinder future American control of Canadian industry. The government can do this by encouragingbonded investment (loans) rather than the present system of equity investment. Secondly, the Canadian government should undertake the training of Canadians for the eventual replacement of foreign management by Canadian management. • To discourage foreign industries presently in Canada the government shouldabandon her present policy of giving subsidies to some foreign companies. Canada should also impose the strictest possible guidelines on subsidiaries of foreign owned companies operating in Canada to make sure that they are not politically controlled by their owner's governments. ••••••••••••••••• Judy Glover, Arts I Why do they want to do that?
