LAKEHEAD UNIVERSITY, PORT ARTHUR, ONT ARIO,

$60,$70,$90 INCREASES ANNOUNCED

'I don't like the idea of an increase in tuition -- it is unfortunate and regrettable -- but we
have no alternative, and we can't run at a deficit.' Dr. Tamblyn has made this statement in
justifying the tuition hikes announced earlier this month.
The fee increases of $50 for Degree courses and $70 for Diploma courses are now definite
following ratification by the Board of Governors earlier in the month. Dr. Tamblyn was quick
to point out that this new fee structure is still among the most reasonable in the province.
"Generally, he .stated, the smaller universities all have tuition fees considerably higher than
those here at Lakehead.

The following is a detailed breakdown of the student fee increases, and includes all compulsory payments for a total comparison.

A.M.S. ATTACKS
ADMINISTRATION

The University Committee
Meeting of last Friday saw a
blow-up of un-precedented proportions between the Administration and AMS representatives.
Fuelled by real or imagined
grievances against administration high-handedness; prompted by counsel from last year's
student representatives to that
committee; and determined to
make a strong impact at their
first official meeting, Peter
Young, AMS President, and Don
Lees, Treasurer, teed off
against President Tamblyn,
Dean Kerr, Director of Finance
David Morgan, and Director of
Planning Claude Smith.
They took the administration
entirely off-guard by presenting a series ofharangues against University policy to the surprise, and at times amusement,
of the officials present. The
President became .annoyed and
disturbed at several points and
Mr. Morgan appeared barely
able to suppress laughter at
what was later termed ill-prepared and ill-considered criticism directed toward the University.
The University Committee is
a grouprepresenting the student
government, the faculty, and the
administration. Its area of responsibility is undefined, but
its existence is a unique experiment in student involvement
in major policy-making decisions.
Mr. Young and Mr. Lees of
the AMS had prepared for the
attack after being incensed by
what they considered a paternal

approach when they received,
without consultation, an announcement of meeting, and an
agenda, not from the official
secretary of the committee,
David Morgan, but from Dean
Kerr. The agenda included what
they considered to be topics
towards which they would have
to take a defensive stance,
particularly the.ir requests for
subsidies for several student
programmes.
They promptly had a new
and official agenda prepared,
including a number of topics
which they thought would place
them in a less protective position. These topics included
rumours that 80% of second
year Science students had failed, that the registrar's office
had juggled lists of graduates
and had unnecessarily interfered in· plans for the graduation
weekend, and that the administration had ignored its own directives by hiring students because of their elective positions, despite the fact that they
had failed and, therefore, would
have to forfeit those positionlh
The business began with Mr.
Young pointing out an error in
the agenda. He said that 'science fee' as listed should read
'Science fiasco' as requested
by himse If when the agenda
was being prepared. Thus the
tone of the meeting was set.
Items submitted by the administration were superceded for
two hours by attacks from
Messrs. Young and Lees.

as for those in some University
School programs. About fifty
percent of the damages claimed
against the caution fees _last
year were to cover lab breakage.
Dr. Tamblyn stressed the
fact that increased tuition was
the only option open to the University in light of the new formula of University subsidies as
adopted by the Provincial
Government. Total grants to
universities are up this year
but those to Lakehead are insufficient •to allow for a tuition
freeze. The formula provides no

consideration for the relative
isolation of this University and
the attendant higher operational
costs. Dr. Tamblyn said that
he has 'been trying to impress
this fact on the government for
some time, but has not yet been
successful'.
Another factor here is that
University Schools are subsidized on a per capita basis to
the same amount as the University students, this amount being
less than subsidies at strictly
technological institutions.
Dr. Tamblyn further stated
that facilities offered here per
student are easily on a par
with those at similar institutions and that the only short-

increase

coming, that being the lack of
adequate athletic facilities, will
be removed with completion of
the Athletic Field House.
Academic standards, he said,
are similar to those of other
universities. We also boast a
University Centre Students'
building, a luxury not offered at
many newer universities. The
Ql&amp;in reason for higher tuition
here and at other smaller universities is the relatively low
enrolment.
The fee increase will not
have any adverse affect on enrolment, according to Dr. Tamblyn. He pointed out that a
great deal more money would be
available to students next year
from the Students Awards Plan.

The tuition raises reported on page one are certain to raise
a big question in the minds of all students here. AM I GETTING

ITEM:: Tuition up more than 10%
ITEM: Enrolment up almost 50%
ITEM: Facilities and services barely expanded for Septe~ber
Couple this with continued disappointment with the calibre
of the faculty.

L.U .? A. I flunked out at Queen's);
some frustration (Q. Did you pass? A. Of course not. I'm in
Science.);
and a big chunk of disappointment at what goes on at this
supposedly intellectual institute of higher learning_

by Rod Phillips

Throw it all together and you get - MAD.

If there is ever to be an issue causing vocal discontent it
will be this tuition hike. It's not only up; but way up. Now we
will be paying as much to enrol here as at any other university
in the province.
Sure the budget must balance
Sure the new grant structure forces this university to charge
as much tuition as any other.
Sure there is more loan money available.
BUT, This is in the sixties. Tuition has been wiped out at
Memorial. The Canadian Union of Students has named ''free
tuition'' as a pri~rity item. Students threatened to strike at
U.B.C. if tuition was raised.
ALSO, There'.s no w~y anyone can say that this university
offers as much in the way of facilities as the big ones down
east. Last year investment per student here was about 60% of
the provincial average. The ratio will be worse until a large
part of the expansion programme is completed.
.,_
Fine, now everybody has something to bitch ~bout; but before we go on strike, or burn crosses on the President's lawn;
lets try to pin the blame.
.
As President Tamblyn stated (page one), he had no choice.
This is true. As long as the Provincial Government thinks that
all Universities are precisely the same and that their grants
can be nicely figured out in terms of a simple formula, Lakehead University will remain out in the bush. The Department of
University Affairs has, apparently for convenience rather than
any other reason, lumped Lake;head in with the big, old, and
well-endowed universities like Toronto and Western. They have
dictated that if tuitions are not at or near a certain level, they
will cut do~ their amouat of grant.
This is only another example of the bureaucratic muddle issued from Bill Davis' Education Ministry. The best we can do is
hope that University administrators, particularly here at Lakehead University, can raise as much of a stink over this ludicroas policy as students raised last year in a successful attempt
to get the Student Awards Plan revamped.

It's probably well-known to most people
that at present an International War Crimes
Tribunal is helding sessions in Stockholm,
Sweden. The avowed purpose of the Tribunal, initiated by the famous British philosoLord Bertrand Russell, is to determine:
If the governments of the United States,
Australia, New Zealand, and South Korea,
have committed acts of aggression according to international law.
If the U.S. military forces have used, or
experimented with, weapons forbidden by
the laws of war (such as gas, special
chemical products, napalm, etc.)
If there has been bombardment of civilian targets--hospitals, schools, sanatoria,
dams, etc., and if so, on what scale this
has occurred.
If Vietnamese prisoners of war have
been subjected to treatment
forbidden
by the laws of war, and if there have been
unjustified resprisals against the civilian
population.
If forced labour camps have been created, or if there has been deportation of the
population, or other acts tending to the extermination of the population and which
can be construed as acts of genocide.
If the Tribunal decides that one, or all,
of these crimes have been committed, it
will be up to the Tribunal to decide who
bears responsibility for them.
The National Liberation Front of south
Vietnam and government of the Democratic
Republic of Vietnam have indicated their
willingness to co-operate, as has the Cambodian Head of State, Prince Sihanouk. The
government of the United States has been
invited to present evidence and to state its
case.
The purpose of the Tribunal , is to establish, without fear or favour, the truth
about this war.
Now, many questions may be, and, indeed, have been, asked about the validity
of .the Tribun'al. I intend to answer the
three main questions below:
Question: Is not the Tribunal a mere
parody of justice? It is composed of personalities who are partisan, hostile to U.S.
policy, and whose verdict is known in advance.
Answer: The; question before the Tribunal is not to juage U.S. policy in Vietnam -- a policy opposed by the membe,s of
the Tribunal -- but to see whether it falls
within the provisions of international legislation on "iwar crimes." There is a profound difference in criticising a policy to

which one might be totally opposed, and
calling the policy "criminal" in a juridicjal
sense.
Question: Since it is law the Tribunal
is invoking, by what law does the Tribunal
set itself up as judge?
Answer: The question before the Tribunal is not to condemn anyone to an ordinary,
commonplace punishment. It cannot, for
example, condemn President Johnson to
death. The goal is to study all available
existing documents on the war in Vietnam,
to call in witnesses -- Vietnamese and American -- and t~ determine in soul and conscience whether certain acts fall within
the provisions of the international laws
mentioned above. The Tribunal will invent
no new legislation, but may name, for example, certain acts as violations of certain
international laws, and name certain persons. as responsible for the acts. It .will
pomt out that if a real international Tribunal existed, wha·t the punishment of the
crimes would be, in virtue of the laws .
passed at Nuremberg, for example. The
Tribunal therefore, is giving a juridical
di~ension to acts of international policy,
rather than pass only practical and moral
judgements on :the conduct of the war.
Question: War crimes are co~mitted by
both sides in the war. Why does the Tribunal not judge the Vietnamese at the same
time as the Americans?
Answer: The Tribunal refuses to place
on the same plane the actions of a group of
poor peasants, obl,iged to enforce iron discipline rule in their ranks, and those of an
immense army sustained by a super-industrialized nation. It is not the Vietnamese
who have invaded America. There is no
parallel between the terrorism of the bomb
-- the sole arm at the disposal of the Vietnamese -- and the actions of a rich army of
five hundred thousand men occupying and
bombing the whole country.
Those are probably the questions causing most scepticism in the minds of m~y
people concerning the War Crimes Tribunal.
The scepticism and doubt as to the Tribunal's validity are unfounded, however, as
an examination of the nature of the Tribunal shows. The Tribunal has carried out
meticulous on-the-spot investigatioQ and
examination of evidence, and it will be well
worth while to watch the results of the
Tribunal's hearings. They should do uuch
to expose the true nature of U.S. aggression
in Vietnam.

The Alma Mater Society, in
cooperation with the A,RGUS
bas instituted the first course
evaluation program to be attempted at Lakehead. The purpose is to provide new students
with a comprehensive summary
of former student reaction to
every course and their evaluation of the merits of the course
lecturers.

THE ARGUS

PAGE THREE

A.M.S. ATTACKS (con'd from page one)
The first major blow-up
came when Peter Young demanded comment on the very high
failure rate in Science courses.
He· queried the administration
on whether it was • stupid' students or ~ome other factor which
caused such a high rate of ~ailure. Dr. Tamblyn replied that he
and his colleagues were also
deeply concerned and, as one
example, pointed out that many
Science faculty members were
disappointed that their students
refused to ~pply themselves
seriously.
In rebuttal, Young and Lees
charged that the high proportion of Science lecturers who
had instructed previously at
English universities seemed to
expect far too much from their
students here.
The next complaint brought
for~ard by the AMS involved
rumours that lists of graduates
had been posted, removed and
juggled, then re-posted last
week, Young and Lees contended that such irregularities were
inexcusable, consideriqg their
importance to potential graduates. Dr. Tamblyn jl.llswered
that 'there was some misunderstanding of the ne.ces sary' number of credits', and that the
senate approved names of graduates without being fully aware
of credit requirements. As a
result, he said, he had a list of
graduates removed from the registrar's office bulletin board on
Thursday, May 4;' for review.
The final list, as posted the
next Tuesday,had, according to
his recollection at the time of
the meeting, only one change.
The next complaint put forward f?y the AMS involved what
Peter Young considered arbittrary and unnecessary action by
the.registrar in informing, in a
casual and high-handed manner,
an elected member of a student
organization, not only that he
had failed; but, as stated by
Mr. Young, that he would have
to resign his student position.
The AMS President's complaint
was that the Registrar had rather presumptiously taken on a
responsibility that he himself
should have! been given -- that

of informing a member of one of
his AMS sub-organizations that·
he must, resign his position.
Dr. Tamblyn and Dean Kerr
stated that the complaint was
well taken but that it was
reasonable to consider this action as 'standard registrar'~
duty' in light of the fact that
academic standard requirements
for elected student officials
were set by the Senate as well
as by the AMS.
The question of Science failure rate was brought up again
in response to further questioning and President Tamblyn indicated that special admissions
to those without required High
School credits would have to
be studied more carefully. He
said that a high proportion of
these students had done poorly.
Young and Lees proceeded to
attack the administration on inadequate counselling procedures but suggested no realistic alternatives. Dr. Tamblyn
asserted that provisions made
for counselling at Lakehead
were certainly not as inadequate as to warrant the criticism to which they were being subjected. He further stated
that the discrepency between
failure . rates in Arts and
Science was •tiypical.'

CO-OP HOUSING- AN -ANALYSIS
The • word •',co-operative''
may suggest different things to
different people--co-operati ve
stores, co-operative bookshops,
co-operative theatres, and so
on.
But the type of co-operative
of greatest interest to students
these days is co-operative
housing. Campus co-ops grew
in strength and importance during 1966, and are expected to
do so to even greater degfe-es
during 1967.
Physically, a co-operative
is the same as a university residence -- it provides board and
lodging for •students. But at
this . point the similarity ends.
For whereas in a university
residence the students pay a
specified sum and receive
specified services
food,
maid service, and so on -- and
are required to comply with
certain rules as set down by
the 'administration oo campus,
a co-operative: is much different.
The essential difference is.
that while a university resi. dence is owned and operated
by university authorities, a

co-operative is owned and operated by the students who live
in the co-operative. There may
be a parallel in the difference
between living in someone
else's house and living in your
own.
In this fact -- that the students operate their own housing -- lies one of the main purposes of a co-operative. In this
situation, in which students
take responsibility for a part of
their
environment, students
learn to be involved and active
in the surroundings in which
they live -- not only the co-operative, their immediate environment, but also involved and
active in their wider surroundings -- the university community in general. The involvement of co-operative in local
decision-making prepares them
to accept responsibility for
decision making in society.
The other important purpose
of the cb-operative of course,
is to provide an urgently-needed housing service -- an alternative to residence and boarding
houses.

by Rod Phillips
There is a great deal of discussion as to whether co-operatives are a means to an end,
or an end in themselves. The
answer lies with the individual's
decision as to which of the
main purposes is of prime importance: is the main purpose
of a co-operative to provide
housing, .or is it to provide an
opportunity to exercise responsibility on one's environment?
It seems to me that the answer is a combination of both
possibilities;
that co-operatives are an end to an end.
The student co-operative
housing movement is part of a
larger co-operative movement
across the country.
Many people are not aware
of the size and scope of coopecatives in Canada, but some
statistics may indicate their
growing importance. In 1966
the membership of credit cooperatives reached 3.8 milliaa,
an increase of eight percent
over the previous year; in 1964,
the latest year for which statistics are available, the cooperatives covered by the re-

port issued by the co-operatives
section,
economics branch,
Canada Department of Agriculture, had a total business
volume of $1.85 billion.
And campus co-operatives
grew tremend~usly. Highlights
are:
Rochdale College at the
University of Toronto. This is
by far the largest project ever
undertaken by university students. To be completed in 1968
it is costing $5 million and is
to house 470 students.
Co-operative College Residence was founded at Saskatchewan. Sponsored by existing co-operative, it has big
plans to provide co-operative
housing for Regina students.
Saskatchewan saw its first
major co-operative housing project get under way with the
No. 1 phase of the Lanigan
Housing Association in June.
The Canadian Union of Students, with support from several central co-operatives has
been able to put a full-time
fie ldman at work organizing
student's co-operatives. : Ht:

has travelled to many parts of
Cana~ to discuss with students the possibilities of establishing co-operative housing
projects in their areas.
There have been suggestions that co-operative housing
be established at the Lakehead
to provide for the needs of students. Thu~ it would not only
alleviate the housing problem,
but would, as pointed out
above, provide students with
the unique opportunity to get
involved actively in the decision-making processes of thei~
environments.
The possibility of establishing such a co-operative
here is a very real one, and will
be studied further. We must
have, however, the 'desire on
the part of sufficient numbers
of students to establish a cooperative and the will on their
part to make it real.
It would be much appreciated if students who are interested in this project would
contact - personally, by phone,
ma'il, however they like - the
C.U.S. office on campus.

Great Hall at 7:00 p.m. and was
preceded by a . social hour for
the 300 graduates and guests

gave a most interesting and
enjoyable speech dealing with
his own experiences while
lecturing in the United Sta!es
and now in Canada. Following
the dinner, the ball proper was
declared open and continued
amidst general revelry as could
be expected for such a happy
occasion. The ball ended at
2:00 a.m. after what had been a
most enjoyable evenin8.

RON HIDER
POULIN AWARD WINNER

Mr. Rod Phillips, CUS CoChairman, has been hired by the
AMS for a six week period for
the purposes of exploring the
possibilities,
and perhaps
establishing, a cooperative
housing organization at Lakehead University.
He feels that with the inadequate residence facilities
availaple here, and with the
great success of the co-op
idea at other centres, that the
establishment of such a project would be a definite benefit to the University.

It will be interesting to note
whether the Registrar's Office

fascinating if a student decides
to demand his results.

FUR TRADERS RENDEZVOUS
Ever tasted beaver meat?
Beaver meat will be the featured dish at the 'Fur-Traders
Rendezvous', the Friends of the
Lakehead University Library's
Centennial Dinner, June 131and
14. The Buffet ~tyle dinner will
cost $3.00, with proceeds going
towards the purchase of rare
books for the University Library.
• The Dinner will be held in
the Great Hall, which will be
decked out to resemble the original Fon William in its days
as a Fur Trader's Rendezvous.

Stuffed birds and animals will
lend atmosphere to the ~ecoraations, as will the aroma of the
cooking Beaver. Jack McKurdy,
co-chairman of the Dinner, will
supervize the culinary activity
on the Beaver. For those who
wish something less exotic in
the way of food, barbequed beef
and fowl will also be available.
Desert will be boxes of candied
fruit and ginger.

It is said that the entenainment during the meal in Fur Trader times was as much a part of

including the MacKenzie Voyages, published in 1801. This
gem cost the Friends S500.
Tickets for the Dinner may
be obtained from Mr. Gude, Cafeteria Manager, or from the Library desk.

Caution fees have been
eliminated for next year. How,
ever, a 'Lab fee' of $10 is to
be collected from students who
take more than one Science lab
per year.
President Tamblyn has stated that caution fees have been
eliminated for several reasons.
Firstly, 'it is always difficult
to assess accidents against
students.' And secondly, 'the
idea of a caution fee is never
popular with the student.'
Above all, it involved a good
deal of work for the Accounts
Office to collect, compute and'
return. Thus the University
Committee has ratified the
President's decision to scrap
it. The residence caution fee
will remain the same, Dr. Tamblyn added.
As to the question of the
collection of a 'L.ab fee', the
President stated that 'it is not
a caution fee but an added levy
collected from students who use
the labs.'

INTER-DEPARTMENTAL MEMO

Mother Goose Time

THE SENSITIVE SON
'Ila, ha, ha,' he thought as
he laughed to himself.
He clawed voraciously at
his petit dejeuner of poached
eggs (freshly stolen) and chocolate pudding as his birdlike
mother hove~d over him like a
a bird hovering over its young.
Through the open window he
could faintly hear the willowy,
coldly efficient nurses of the
nearby hospital humming their
theme, 'Some Day My Prince
Will Come.' His masochistic
desire compelled him to continue reading the editorial page
of the local paper while his
mother persisted to annoy him
by clicking her false teeth and
breathinir wheezily.
'Goodbye Mumsy', he spurted
out unpremeditatedly as he
sprang from his chair and gingerly shoved the whirring blades of the mixmaster down her
cavernous throat.
'This time the laugh' s on
you' , he ca'ckled fiendishly,
carefully placing a ' laugh on
her twisted torso before returning to his half-eaten morning
repas.

RE:Your relationship.to me

ITEM: ln the first place, things have not been going too smoothly down in your department lately and I beiieve that this
situation is due mainly to your apparent lack of enthusiasm for my recommendations that were related to you by
my son some time ago.
ITEM: Secondly, I feel that some positions taken by members of
your staff should be more clearly defined: by this, I mean
that in many .areas of policy-making there appears to be
confusion amongst the ranks.
To briefly summarize, I ·would like to see in the future a
general re-alignment of department lines, combined with a
new concept designed for the section dealing with sales,
and 'W'.ith respect to customer relations.

P -~

Tomorrow is
Cancelled.

Yours truly,

ruin its effectiveness for the
rest of the year by asking its
president to resign. But Tocheri stayed. This was about the
time our leader:i were given the
humble sum of $25 .00 to be
passed on to some needy student. Could it have been a reflection upon how representative that council was that they
coulm't find a single person
who was short of money? Meanwhile some people here were
doing something real. Simon
Hoad and Bill Sheridan made an
excellent showing at the Centennial debating tournament despite the only practice they
had was in the cafeteria. Some
people got together and formed

too was never heard from. The

Carnival and spent Saturday escorting Miss Canada around the

night at the dance and at the
parties afterward. The rolling
drunk they called a parade was
by far the best combined effort
of the entire week according to
everyone who saw it (and not
the trail of bottles along its

The torchlight parade -and tubing party on Tuesday night
were other fine examples of

invariably runs ridiculous surpluses, the AMS voted to raise
its fees $5.00 for next year and
to levie a compulsory fee on
summer school students. Council made almost its only farsighted decision of the year
when, by default more than anything else, it voted narrowly to
consider political club budgets
in the future. The ARGUS added to its noteriety by being
mentioned in Time Magazine as
part of a quaint little write-up
on LU. A Board of Trustees
was set up by the AMS to look
after all those surplus funds
which treasurer Hider and his
forerunners had so successfully
hoarded. An exciting campaign
led to the triumph of Peter
Young, Don Lees, Doug Robson, and Wendy Ticknor in the
race for AMS executive positions. To them fell the responsibility to lead LU' s student
governm~nt• out of the sticks lots of luck.

AConglomerate Of What Happened At The Real Universities
I •

University students change
imperceptibly from year to year
but the same prototypes--the
radical, the politician, the socialite, the scholar--who strolled campuses hundreds of years
ago are still evident today, only
slightly modifit:d.
But while students remain
basically the same, in that they
are students and somewhat different from the rest of society,
the issues they choose to become involved in, or to ignore
as the case may be, have changed.
This year was no exception.
This was the year of The
Pill, LSD, potheads, protest
marches and draft dodgers. This
was a year of student awareness
and involvement, for never before have students appeared to
know so much, or care so much,
about where they are going and
why.
This was, and still is, the
year of Canada's Centennial
celebrations, of Second Century
Week, of travelling lecturers,
musicians and poets.
It was als'o the year of ,Canadian Union of Students dropouts, infiltration of student organizations by one of the
world's largest espionage agencies, demands for student representation on boards of governors and senates, and requests for open decision-making
in universities. •
A year to remember--at least
for those directly involved in
events which often threatened
to blow the cool of stodgy, traditional institutions and pedagogues across the country.
The first indication of the
things to come occurred at the
CUS Congress in Halifax fast
September. And before the year
was over, student activists had
carried the ideas and resolutions born at the Congress clear
across Canada--from the Atlantic to the Pacific, from Dalhousie University to the University of British Columbia.
The struggle for universal
accessibility to higher education, launched at the Lennoxville
congress in September, 1965,
was on again. Delegates decided to ask for more financial
assistance than ever before, to
try to wipe out social and financial barriers to post-secondary education, to ask for student stipends and the abolition.
of tuition fees.
They • took the resolutions
back to their campuses for acceptance or rejection by the
student masses.
CUS education policy met
its first big test at the University of Waterloo when the students' council there rejected
free tuition and student stipends. The students themselves
tended to support council's
stand in a campus-wide referendum in which they voted to
reject abolition of tuition fees.
But they did come out in favor
of student salaries.
While Waterloo students were
waffling on the student stipend
fee abolition question, their
counterparts at the University
of Toronto and Ry.erson Poly-

technical lnstinite were marching on the Ontario legislature
to protest the controversial
provincial student awards program.
The students succeeded in
pleading th•eir case, and the
changes they called for have
been submitted by a special
committee for consideration by
Ontario's education minister.
But whether students voted,
marched or remained in their
stagnant pools of apathy, some
were at least dimly aware of
what CUS is and what it is trying to do.
Some
campuses .carried
things a step further and reviewed their position in the
national student union. The re-·
i;ult of this critical examination
was, in some cases, withdrawal.
Four campuses had withdrawn from union at the September congress. By February,
four more had followed.
The first to opt out was the
University of Alberta, led by
council president BrannySchepaoovich. Schepanovicli claimed
CUS was over-extending itself-becoming too concerned with
international issues instead of
concentrating on effectively
representing Joe Student.
Io the months that followed,
Bishop's University withdrew
over the same basic ideological
difference as U of A. Bishop's
students did not feel, as did
CUS President Doug Ward, that
students had a responsibility to
become involved in sodety's
problems
through
political
stands taken by CUS.
St. Dunstan's University was
next. And when McGill withdrew to join !'Union Generalc
des Etudiants du Quebec, CUS
lost its lastfoothold in Quebec.
As Ward said after U of A's
withdrawal, CUS had truly become "a smaller and a tighter
union."
CUS' s problems are no.t yet
over. Although It survived the
recent Central Intelligence Agency scandal virtually unscathed, it still faces a major communit;ations problem.
But while CUS is gradually
losing its place in the limelight, this winter other issues
have gained front-page coverage
in campus newspapers. Student
representation o·n policy-making
university bodies has become
one of the year's major causes.
Students across the country
are agitating for participation
in university affairs and open
decision making. At the University of Calgary they succeeded in gaining three seats on the
general faculty council.
But at the University of
Western Ontario and institutions
like it across the country, students are still lobbying for a
voice in university affairs.
All the Western campuses
are working for coveted seats
on
various
administrative
boards, as are their Ontario
counterparts. Not too much has
been heard from Quebec or the
Maritimes, but the representation-participation fever should"
infect students there before
long.

And as the year got into full
swing, pressure increased on
students and faculty alike.
Students dropped out, an unprecedented number of campus
newspaper editors resigned,
and two university presidents
resigned w-ithin a week of each
other.
Sex made a bigger splash
than ever before. Even the
most naive, innocent and inexperienced freshman in Canada
has no excuse for being ignorant of a wonderful, fool-proof
invention called simply "11:he
pill"--unless he pleads illiteracy.
Stories about sex and birth
control were bigger and better
researched than ever before.
Editors went right to the source
for their stories.
And features appeared about
a University of Western Ontario co-ed's abortion, about a U
of T student's reasons for taking the pill and sleeping with
her boyfriend.
Health services officials
were criticized for their refusal
to dispense birth control pills
to unmarried co-eds.
Yes, sex wa~ bigger and
bolder than ever before as the
New Morality got into fullswing.
Computers even got in on the
act, and almost every large
campus boasts a _computer dating centre,
Student housing has always
been an issue among university
students. ,If they aren't cpmplaining about Victorian restrictions imposed on women
residents, they're protesting
about imminent fee increases.
This year they took a new approach.

Instead of assailing the
deaf ears of housing directors
with loud, ineffective wails,
students decided to take matters into their own hands in an
attempt to alleviate housing
shortages.
They began to turn towards
co-operative housing--that old
boon to financially embarrassed
students--as one of the most
feasible solutions to the problem.
Co-ops became even more
attractive in light of Central
Housing and Mortgage Corporation's decision to lend money
to finance student residences.
Co-ops' have been in largescale operation at the Universities of Toronto and Waterloo
for some time now.UBC and·
Dalhousie
are forging full
speed ahead on plans for their
co-ops, and a small group of
University of Saskatchewan
students are operating a pilot
co-op.
The University of Alberta,
which has shown considerable
interest in this area, has yet to
commit itself to a co-op project.
Other trends in student behavior manifested themselves,
also. Bad cheques, missing
library books, book store profits at break-even university
book stores--all cropped up at
virtually every campus.
And all over, students devoted considerable time to just
being students. Winter weekends, queen contests, boat
races--all contributed to making
1966-67 a year to remember
with some nostalgia, if not with
a feeling of genuine pride and
accomplishment.

JUDICIAL
COMMITTEE

HUlfS

SIi
The ground rules for the
operation of the AMS Judicial Committee have been
laid. At a meeting on May 5
Dean Kerr, Mr. Ted Broughton, the AMS President and
Treasurer, and the three members of the Judicial Comittee talked over the areas
of administration of the proposed Security force as opposed to those of the students' committee. The important task of writing the
formal constitution of the
Judicial Committee will be
completed by Chief Justice
Bert Baumann and presented to Council next year for
ratification.
Important
differentiations stressed at the meeting were primarily concerned with the limits of jurisdiction of the various agencies. It was decided that
the AMS Judicial Committee
would be responsible for infractions involving the University proper, and the well
being of the students. Residence infractions will be
handled by the house committee in the residence,
while Mr. Broughton will be
primarily concerned with
property damage and nonstudent infractions.

for modern plays, poetry readings, puppet shows, jazz and
classical music, with accent on
student participation. A special
feature is an amateur international film festival showing
movies produced by the world's
youth on subjects of interest__
and significance to the 'now'
generation.
The Cafe-Dansant seats 150
and has dancing space for 100.
It is also a TV studio for programs originating auhe Pavilion
and is THE place for folk sin~
ing, monologues, jazz and popular music and dancing.
The Amphitheatre seats 250

TOCHERI TO VISIT RUSSIA

AMBASSADOR TOCHERI

••••••
The admin. is currently dickering with a few local bus outfits to get a regular university
run set up for next year. Early
bids were a little high but it
looks like there will soon be
an alternative to hitchhiking.

Mr. Wayne Tocheri, last
year's AMS President, bas been
chosen as one of thirty Canadian students to take part in a
tour of Russia this spring. The
tour has been organized by the
Canadian Union of Students in
cooperation with a student union
in the USSR.
The tour within' Russia has
been subsidized by the Russian
student organization b~t Mr.
Tocheri has had to raise· much
of the travel expenses himself.
The AMS has provided $100 in
recogn1t1on of the privilege
granted an LU student and on
the understanding that he will
write a series of eight feature
articles on Russia for the summer ARGUS. Mr. Tocheri left
Monday for a mid week briefing
_in Montreal and will arrive in
Russia over the weekend for
the start of the 21 day tour.
Mr. Tocheri has _agreed to
the organization of a reciprocal
tour by Russian students in
Canada during August.

Student Plans To Paint Tunnels
·What do you do with a thousand feet of virgin white cement
wall? This is the question
which confronts anyone taking
a stroll through the University
tunnels. The question itself is
not of great importance but the
solution could be. Gary-Conrad
Boychuk, an Arts 1 student and
past President of the University Art Club would like to see
those seven pieces of wall
transformed into seven unique
murals. His proposal will be
brought before the University
Committee at their next meeting and will be accepted or rejected there. Mr. Boychuk is
preparing 10 to 15 coloured
sketches of his plans to illustrate the proposal.
Plans call for the murals to
have a classical theme ranging
from Egyptian wall paintings to
Gothic sculpture and may include some representation of
the Byzantine period. Also included in the proposal would
be a mural depicting the transition between the Linear or
Geometric Period to the Archaic Period of Greek art, a mural depicting the trJ__nsition between Greek and Roman paintings, reliefs, and architectural

Two
. Students Suspended

Two Lakehead University students have been suspended for a year as a result of judicial action taken
after an incident which occurred in Residence.
The
incident evolved
when the two students were
found in a drunken state late
at night in an out-of-bounds
area of the Residence. They
were asked to leave, first
by a proctor and then by a
faculty member. The two
then became aggressive, used obscene • landuage and
ended by throwing a punch
at the professor.
For their actions the
guilty parties were interview·
ed by Dean Kerr, Dean of
Students, in consultation
with the Chief Justice, Bert
Baumann. It was decided
that judicial action was necessary because of the seriousness of the incident;
the two could have been
tried in a criminal court on

several counts.
The crimes committed
necessitated a penalty and
it was decided that a year
of suspension, from September 1967 to April 1968,
was both a lenient and a just
sentence. It was pointed out
by Dean Kerr that in most
universities the two guilty
parties would have been expelled immediately without
a judicial hearing of any
sort. The students, however, were allowed a hearing which encompassed the
due process of law and were
given the opportunity to
complete this academic year.
They were allowed to write
the April exams and will be
able to take any supplementary exams required to
fulfill their year. Although
they will be suspended for
a year, the decision allows
them to complete the current
year without penalty.

RESIDENCE ROUGHNECKS
RUN RAGING McINTYRE
by Rod Phillips
"Leave it up to the students
of Lakehead University to
think up something different."
Thus quoth the News Chronicle on April 15, 1967. The occasion? Tubing - the new sport
which struck Lakehead University - the residence at least during final examinations.
You've all heard of snowtubiog, but the Lakehead University is., different.
It all began when several
students, discovering by the
hard way that the ice floes on
the McIntyre River were a mite
too small to ride, borrowed a
couple of tractor inner tubes,
and negotiated the river---rapids
and all, for this was during the
spring thaw when the usually
tame river became a raging
torrent.
The sport soon caught on,
but unfortunately the tubes had
to be returned to their owner.
But where there's a will
there's a way, and several tubing enthusiasts bought their
own tubes from a city dealer at
$2.50 a shot.
AND UNDER THE BRIDGE ... MAYBE

STUDENT LOANS PLAN REVAMPED, IMPROVED
The Province of Ontario
Student A wards Plan (POSAP)
which caused so much controversy across the province last

The Student Awards Offices on
the various campuses have been
given considerable autonomy in

the job was done by a central
office of the University Affairs
Department in Toronto.
There will be approximately

scholarships granted by Lakehead last year, have been applyed to the awards plan for next

sending our team over to Europe each year so Rev. David Bauer
can get his trophy for sportsmanship while the team is robbed
by the refs and then bitterly complains to no avail.
Hockey is our game so we will play it our way. (the only
reason international rules were introduced was to take away our
advantage in hockey) We should have our own world to1;1rnament
every year in Canada and invite outside teams to compete. Most
teams in Group A and some of Group B in the International Ice
Hockey Federation would come and soon all the teams would be
won over to our game.
Then we wouldn't or couldn't cry if we lost.

I'm glad to see the Lakehead University fastball team has

real weak point is the lack of good pitchers ...... Good Luck

Rumor has it that Lakehead University is going to have a
fieldhouse. If rumor can find it or build it then we're set. I
heard that 1984 was set as the completion date with "iBig
Brother" opening the doors.

••••••••••

Also seems that we have an athletic board at this school,
made up of several people, who in my humble opinion, have never played a sport in their lives. They are afraid to institute .t
good athletic program with a large fie1dhouse for fear sports
may come into prominence. That would be terrible because we
have such a high academic standard.· I even recall Lakehead
University being called the Parson's College of Ontario or
Drop-out University. Even this year with our small emphasis
on sports, what brought prominence to Lakehead University was
not academic achievement but victory in sports.
One source has it that a certain member of our faculty wants
to make skiing the major sport at Lakehead. I'm not degrading
our skiers but the dead bears in Banff National Park, rolled
over. in their graves laughing when they heard this. We just do
not have large enough hills around the Lakehead to compare
with those in the "Rockies, Southern Ontario or Quebec. Remember what the fat oracle said, ''ii you can't play a sport • bow1,

De11lict in duties says Argus

PRESIDENT ACCUSED

involved is writing this story
but every effort has been made

of the dispute . . For editorial
comment please tum to page 2

The President of the Al~a
Mater Society has been form•
ally accused of being derelict in his duties.
In a letter delivered to AMS
President Young last Friday
morning, Don Colborne, Argus
Editor, informed Mr. Young that
in his opinion Young was wasting the student's money and betraying their trust. Mr. Young
later said to The Argus, that
'In my opinion I'm representing
the students of Lakehead University to the extent that I
think they would feel justified'.
The letter had attached a
rough itinerary of Mr. Young' s
activities over the three day
eriod ne

look after its business, plan
for next year, and conduct a
summer programme. When, for
reasons of fairness, Mr. Young
was shown the Argus report
you are reading he prepared the
following statement.
'If Mr. Colborne doubts my
ability I would question his
support of me in the AMS
election campaign. I would
also ask for a clear definition

campus had become increasingly disturbed at Mr. Young's his alleged 'disservice to and
apparent inability or refusal to disinterest in the students ,of
spend more than a small part of Lakehead University' became
his time doing art'ything con- increasingly evident in the
structive. He had been employ- latter part of June when Mr.
ed since May 1 by the AMS with Young appeared to be doing
tl}e understanding that he would" nothing with his time.

For the purpose of ascer~aining, as near as possible,
Just exactly whether or not the
President was doing anything,
the Argus collaborated with a
few informants, and noted roughly his whereabouts and acti vities over three days. When the
notes were tabulated it became
alarmingly evident to The Argus that Mr. Young was not
earning his $100 per week
salary.
The Argus Editor then sent
a copy of the rough itinerary to
Mr. Young with a strongly worded cover letter. The letter
accused him of 'dereliction of
duties' but expressed a willingness to close the matter if
a~surance 'that the situation
will change' was forwarded immediately ·to the Argus office.
The same afternoon Mr.
Young delivered a lengthy
memorandum to The Argus, with
no assurance 'that the situation
would change', only a detailed
but facetious explanation of
why he had spent the days in
question in the manner suggested. Hee

Mr. Colborne then honoured
the 'ultimatum' mentioned in
the original letter and gave the
matter 'the public exposure it
mo st assuredly merits', by
printing this report, an editorial
on page two, and reprinting the
original letter and memorandum
on page three .

University Committee

AMS Subsidies Considered

MR. PETER UBRIACO
Mr. Peter Ubriaco, Superintendant of Buildings, died on June 6 at the age of 47.
Mr ... Ubriaco was well known and very well
liked by his associates and had many friends
among the student body. He showed his sincere
interest and dedication to our University by
establishing, in 1965, the "Frank P. Ubriaco
Memorial Scholarship" with an annual value of
$250 in memory of his father. He also donated
the trophy awarded annually to the Lakehead
University Squash champion, and a picture
which now hangs in the library building. It
was always well known among students that·
Peter Ubriaco was the man to see if you were
short 5 or 10 dollars until the end of the month.
Mr. Ubriaco was an employee of the University for three years. He is survived by his
mother, with whom he lived in Port Arthur and
a sister who instructs in French at Scarborough College of the University of Toronto.
The funeral was held on Friday, June 9.
The ARGUS joins the rest of Lakehead in
sympathising with the bereaved family and in
mourning the loss of a fine man.

The second summer meeting of the UniversityCommittee,
held on June 8, was considerably quieter than the first but
discussed a number of items
important to students. That
these. were not dealt with summarily is evidenced by the duration of the meeting... two and
a half hours, instead of the
customary hour.
First on the agenda was the
question of Argus representation at University Committee
meetings ( see article page four).
The Committee had decided on
February 16 that the Argus
should attend Committee meetings but that the paper had to
show its report to the secretary
of the Committee, Director of
Finance David Morgan before
publishing the report. Rod
Phillips distributed a written
brief to Committee members in
which he contested the morality and legality of the situation. Presenting the paper in the
in the Committee, Mr. Phillips
called the situation "an unsubtle attempt at censorship", but
withdrew the statement after
an objection by Dean of Students John Kerr. It was finally
resolved that the Argus could
attend Committee meetings on
the basis usual to newspaper
reporting.
The Committee,
however, affirmed its right to
enter in camera session at will.
The ·committee next considered a request that the Administration subsidize the Proctor
Force for summer. Speaking in
favour of the request, A.M.S.

,President Peter Young and
Treasurer Don Lees pointed
out that· insofar as the proctors
were protecting the good name
of the university at outside
functions and university property at on-campus functions,
that the Administration should
bear part of the cost of the
Force. Mr. Young also pointed
out that the Force was operating on a higher budget in Summer. While accepting these
points, President Tamblyn stated that to subisdize the Summer Proctor Force. the Administration would have to use
funds from tuition fees of Fall/
Winter tenn students. Dr. Tamblyn questioned the morality of
taking funds from students who
do not, in the main, attend summer dances. Discussion of the
question continued for over an
hour with no decision reached.
Mr. Lees suggested that the
situation be discussed further
at a later meeting.
The Argus asked for a cash
subsidy of $200, mailing costs
of $110, and secretarial help.
The Argus argued that its policy of mailing the summer paper
to every person who applies for
admission was a valuable public relatio.ns service to the
university. The Administration
granted all of these, but instead of giving a direct cash
grant of $200, Dr. Tamblyn decided that the Administration
would take out $200 worth of
advertising.
The A.M.S. requested a re-

duction in its share of the accident insurance on students.
Mr. Young argued that most
accidents this year were found
to be connected with athletics,
and that therefore the Athletic
Department should take a proportionate share of the insurance costs. There was some
discussion, during which it
was suggested that this insurance, which is paid automatically by all students, should be
made voluntary, as most students are already covered by
some form or other of insurance. However, because some
members of the Committee were
unfamiliar with the full facts of
the situation, further discussion a.nd a decision were tabled.
It was requested that the
Administration investigate the
possibility of keeping the residence open during the summer .t.
months. Mr. Claude Smith, Dir- • •
ector of Physical Plant, explained that there would be a
number of problems, such as
keeping the residence heated,
and that there would have to be
a guaranteed number of students in residence during--summer to justify its being kept
open. It was decided that the
question should be kept in
mind for next year.
Rod Phillips presented to
the Committee for later consideration a survey on re.sidence
problems (see article else where). The _survey was the
result of a questionnaire mailed to students in residence in
'1966-67.

�JUNE 29, 1967

THE ARGUS

PAGE TWO

One Side of the Story

disorganized to the extent that in one case
the delegation arrived a\ a local high school
on the wrong day and there was never any
sort of understanding between the AMS and
the high schools on what was going on.
Secondly these were not even 'high school
visitations' in the ordinary sense (where
people from the University attend classes
and establish personal contact with high
school students). They were simply extem•
poraneous slide shows and speaking engagements.
That pretty wel.l takes care of the 'con•
structive' items that Mr. Young claims he has
done. The only item not clarified above is that
Mr. Young claims he has devised 'a new
method of buying and selling used books'.
Fine, we hope that the new method wi II save
the students at least part of the several hun •
dred dollars paid in salary to the President
and 'for his travel ·expenses over the past two
months.

This is a difficult editorial to write • and
the decision to use. it was put off until the last
minute. It concerns personalities • normally
ta'boo - and a subz·ectiveness that should never
enter an editoria. But it is serious, dead serious, and it is the responsibility of the Argus
to make .this s'ituation an issue,

The Reason

-

Our student President, Mr. Peter Young, is
not fulfilling his duties • any of them. He
spends his days sfrolling around campus doing
nothing. He is being paid $100 per week or
more - depending on proceeds from the summer
dances. This money comes out of the students'
pockets. These dances could easily be arrang•
ed for by a student on slight honoraria. Also,
the dance schedule has been very significantly
shortened.
T-here is an almost unlimited amount • of
work which on AMS President can do in the
summer, only a small part of which concerns
the summer school students themselves •· who,
most being adults, are largely uninvolved in
student affairs.
The Argus made representation earlier this
year that two AMS executives be hi red for the
summer, because we saw all the work that
should be done. We were disappointed that
council chose to· hire only one. No longer.
They hired one, gave him free reign, no boss
(of necessity), no instructions, and an executive salary. This person, Mr. Young, has not
lived up to the expectations of council.
We saw him doing nothing and others saw
him doing nothing. There are very few students
on campus during May and June but to those
who were here, Mr. Young's activities became
a running joke, probably tinged with envy.
It was our responsibility, our duty as individual students, and as a newspoper, to try
to do something to change the situation.

.

As far as the memorandum reproduced on
page three is concerned there are a few areas
of canflict'that can be straightened out.
As Mr. Young states, our informant was
wrong. He returned from the conference in
reasonable time; it was his day of arrival
which should have been in question. Perhaps it was a problem in flight booking but
Mr. Young arrived in Toronto a day before
the conference began. It might be added that
the only news passed on to the Argus on his
return was that he had had a fine time with
a certain (female) student leader from another institution.
On the afternoon of June 21 Mr. Young
claims he was hiding in his office working.
If so he wasn't answerihg his telephone and
the CUS Chairman, who has an office next
door, says he will 'swear on 'Das Kapital'
or 'Guer_illa Warfare by Che Guevera" that
he was not there all afternoon.
The Mr. Tamblyn mentioned in the memor:1ndum is, to avoid confusion, not university
President Dr. Tami:llyn, but hla :,on Ian who
is employed for the summer on the grounds
staff.
We blew the tennis and tour evenings alright, but we're not the CIA. Mr. Young
indeed did• not start playing tennis until
4:30 on June 22, not 3:40. Referring to the
slide show and tours we wonder how it could
have taken an entire afternoon to plan a
showing given many times before (at the~
"high school visitations") and the tour
route (which involved three campus buildings and was shown to the guides hastily on
the first evening only). A number of guides
themselves were not even students. Office
girls had to fake that they were students
and earned an easy $5.00 per night for about
two hours work when Mr. Young could not
get, or bother to get, enough students to
come out.

The Action

What to do?
That is the situation as it stands . If Mr.
Young feels we have been unfair he is welcome to release a statement, which we wi 11
print,• He must be aware, however, that when
he took the position he did he become a socalled "public figure" and as such his activities are open to public scrutiny.

Clarification
It is hoped that this issue wi 11 not be regarded as overplayed petty bickering between
persons working together; personal infighting
carried too far. Relations between the President and the Argus have been very cordial
until now, and perhaps they will remain so.
It was only after serious policy discussions
among senior members of the Argus staff that
it was ·decided to use the issue as n·ews. We
concluded that it certainly was news, and
news of. vital concern to every student.
The point in question was whether print•
ing this would do any 1eal good, or whether
it would be a purposeless admission of gross
error in that the students had made a mi stake
when they hired Mr. Young. The decision was
this: that it is vital to have a member of the
AMS exec\ltive on campus during the summer,
that Mr. Young must certainly remain in his
position, that he has not thus far assumed the
responsibilities of that position, that he ignored a personal request to shape up, that by
making this
public issue the Argus might
convince him to get to work.

Letters to the Editor
AND ARE WE, NOW?

We're liars?

We did. We kept tabs on Mr. Young for three
days and were appalled at what we found. Perhaps the surreptitiousness of th-i s sort of thing
was a little ~ow on our part, but it appeared to
be the only way to confirm absolutely what we
already kn,w casually. Despite a few large
holes in our information it was obvious that he
either had nothing to do on those days, or
chose to do nothing.
We sent him the letter and the itinerary
reproduced on page J; asked him to promise to
shape up or we'd make this thing public. He
didn't. He tried to shrug it off in the memo.r•
andum, also on page 3, the feeble humour and
casual tone of which clearly showed that he
had no intention of convincing vs 'that the
situation would change immediately'. The
several hours which he spent at the typewriter
in composing that message are most certainly
the longest continuous period of work he has
put in all summer. The only significant note of
explanation offered was that the AMS was 'in
a quiet period'. As far as the Argus is concern.-d the entire summer is a quiet period for the
• - AMS and that is why Mr. Young was hired •·
to plan for the noisy periods •• something he
he has not done.
Mr. Young prepared and reieased the state•
ment quoted on page one when shown the article in which it appears. In that statement he
takes credit for certain 'constructiv_,. activities. To find out whether credit was due in
in these areas the Argus approached some of
the st.udents involv1td.
'Redefinition of the powers of the Judicial
Committee' was done at a meeting on May 5
and according to Chuck Grieve, Associate
Justice, all further work was out of Mr.
Young's hands and exclusively in those
of .the Chief Justice,· Bert Baumann.
According to Rod Phillips, the decision that
he and Larry Bryan would edit the student
handbook was made by themselves with only
a casual OK from President Young.
Mr. Joe Danis, who will again edit the Con,
tact, says that his editorship is simply 011
understanding and involved Mr. Yo.ung onl)
in the most elf-hand manner.
.Referring to Mr. Young's claim that he
works harder than last year's president the
President from two years ago, Mr. Gerry
Hess, has stated that when Mr. Tocheri was
employed last surmr.er he was •often working
until midnight'.
The Argus knows about the high school
visitations 'which by the way impressed
ORCUS President Hugh Armstong' according to Mr. Young. Firstly, they were totally

Dear Sir:
Yesterday I listened to an
angry tirade by ~ rampant dowager, raging against Lakehead
University in general and its
students in particular. According to her, L.U. students are a
"bunch of broads, beatniks,
hop-heads, and hippies", who
have failed at, or have been
rejected by, "better" universities, and who "are getting
chances that WE never got."
(Aha!) They have "parents who
can afford to keep them in school to print THAT sort of • • **
at OUR expense. WE'RE paying
for it, and its just a waste of
taxpayers' money." Etc., Etc ..
Ordinarily, a flailing attack
such as this one can be laughed off as just another symptom
of approaching menopause. Unfortunately this lady's spouse
has a fair amount of local
prestige, and her expressed
opinions
just might carry
weight by association.
Would it be possible to publish in the local papers the
approximate percentage of L . U.
students who have paid and
are paying their own tuition
fees? It would be quite impossible to estimate the number of conscientious, serious,
students who can just scrape
along financially by living at
home. Even though their marks
would gain entry, going elsewhere to another university
would cost too much.
The lady in question is doing a grave injustice to the
vast majority of the student
body. Her unfounded comments
could be damaging to the University Building Fund canvass..
Her remarks aren't helping her
husband any, either. And for
REALLY blunt comment, she
should read the Queen's u.
paper!
(Mrs.) Tillie Hurrell, B.A./67
Lakehead University

WE SHRIVE HARDER
Sirs etc:
Have just finished scrutiny
of your first summer issue and
take misspelling typewriter in
hand to pass -a few comments.
It would be interesting to
hear what has become ofHashiguchi and his yearbooks. I
don't think I was unique fi1 not
having a spare $2.50 (a lame
excuse but what the hell) when
it came time to peer through
the clouds of cigar smoke and
hope that a yearbook would be
forthcoming. Is there any way
to obtain one at this late date?
••AMS Attacks Admini strati on"· must strike terror into the
hearts of anyone who has any
faithin the student government
though one wonders just what
Mr. Young will have gained by
initiating this god-awful up~
roar.... a seance in a sniffer ....
Maybe the walls of the cafeteria will fall down this year
and there will be room to practise debating, or decide what
this week's bitch will be, or
dig up a fourth for bridge.
Hooray for co-op housing, I
think; down with plagarized international affairs editorials,
enough of pictures of ARGUS
staff smoking, sitting, eating,
talking, etc., etc., (there must
at least 1180 other people who
could quite conceivably have
their pictures taken) sorry to
hear the Young-Lees duo will
·be split up (Is there anyone
else on the executive judging
from the news coverage?) This
is the letter that asks the
question: will the magic hand
of CUS again collect quarters
this year?
Keep up the work,
Send money,
Peter Shtive

Course Evaluation

ITS EASY--.'

Hangups Solved Here
The following should clear
up any problems you have encountered with the course evaluation questionnaires. Other
comments, questions, or prob·
lems will be promptly answered
if you write or call the AMS or
Argus offices on campus.

Scared?

'all I said was that I'd
help with the Argus'

Don't worry. No faculty
member will get anywhere near
your personal response. Sure,
the students who tabulate your
report are going to know what
you think - but they aren't even
going to care after hunching
over N of those little boxes for
a period of weeks. Enter your
name or its a lost cause -- responses without names will be
rejected.

Gotta Lotta Labs?
There is only one item on the
sheet referring to labs and
seminars, which are a large
part of some courses. This was
necessary in order to produce a
questionnaire applicable to
every program. It is in areas
such as this that appropriate
comments are invited.

FUlked? Or Dropped Out?
If you dropped out of a course
forget it -- we can't accept your
evaluation. If you flunked,
don't sweat a little thing like
that, send it in anyway with
your failure•indicated. You were
just as ml\,ch a part of the class
as the keeners.

In University Schools?
So you've got ten courses
and had no choice at all in
entering every one of them.
Tear off the address label on
this paper, scrawl a request for
another form, and send it to us
-- or better still call the University - two handy locations
to serve you better -- AMS and
Argus. (Not necessarily in that
order).
One of the basic purposes of
the evaluation is to give the
profs some consensus feedback. If they can see in the
anti-calendar that their course
is weak in certain areas they
might just change it for next
ye·ar even though their students
are forced to take the subject.

Th.e Argus is a Summer

School paper as of the
time you read this.
A few old pros from
last year put this rag
together and will
stick around to help
you put out a weekly
masterpiece this
summer. But a lot of
bodies are needed -including yours.
You are therefore invited to a gathering
of the journalistic
tribes at noon Monday
ih the lower cafeteria
where you will be
strongarmed into signing ~ffidavits releasing use of your s~are
t i.t1e to THE MIGHTY - -ARGUS.

Afraid To Reveal
Your Marks?

Write all their names in but
indicate clearly which one is
referred to in the question
section headed 'The Lecturer'.

We can't use incomplete

bonfire for the hundreds we expect. Every question MUST be
answered except those that definitely don't apply and the one
asking you to give your final
mark. If you have already sent
in incomplete responses get
your behind in gear, ask us for
another plan, and do it all over
again; we will return your originals if possible.

PLEASE! This information
is not essential as other studies indicate that marks have
little relationship to ratings.
The purpose of this section is
that we want to do our own little
study to prove that very point
once and for all.

That's quite possible. Ever

Don't. It's big, it's valuable, and it's student. Everyone must cooperate.

Censorship Issue Resolved
"An unsubtle attempt at
censorship"
accused
Rod
Phillips on behalf of the Argus.
"I take grave exception to
that" returned Dean Kerr.
The question, however, WAS
on censorship, and the Argus
found itself, for the first time,
at the centre of a hassle which
could have far-reaching effects upon the future of student
publications here at Lakehead.
The issue started quietly
at a closed (as was formerly
the case) meeting of the University Committee on February
16 of this year. At that time
the committee passed a resolution inviting an Argus reporter to attend its meetings with
the proviso that any article
based on those meetings be
checked "for accuracy" by
David Morgan, Director of Finance, and Secretary of the
Committee. Unfortunately no
official notification or invi tation was sent to the Argus and
by the time news of the decision filtered out it was too late
for the Argus to report any but
the final meeting, and that only
briefly. As far as the Argus was
aware, notes from neither that
nor any subsequent meeting
were subject to review.

Student Power

Joe College Wants a Seat
By D. John Lyon
Bureau Chief of the
Canadian University Press

In-1965 it was "Abolition of
Tuition Fees"; in 1966 it was
"End the War in Vietnam"; in
1967 it will be "Student Representation in Academic Government".
In Canadian universities
every year students, and student leaders, draft programs of
'things to do'. These projects
vary considerably from year to
year, but they invariably have
at least two things in common:,
they have a moral rationale,
and they are progressive.
And amazingly, they are usually accepted by the Uni versity and by Society. "Abolition
of Tuition Fees" is now a wellrecognized and little-disputed
aim - but this is a far cry from
1964 when such a doctrine was
darkly regarded as a sinister
and socialistic plot.
"End the War in Vietnam"
has been a student cause for
several years now, but only recently with the current turn of
world events has it appeared
the better cause. In 1963 a
critic of the American presence
in Vietnam was considered

you can't take part; you
can't even tactitly take part,
and you've got to put your
bodies upon the levers, upon all the apparatus, and
you've got to make it stop.
And you've got to indicate
to the people who own it,
that unless you're free, the
·machine will be prevented
from working at all."
surorisingly, this kind of argument finds remarkable support among academics and administrators;
the -academics
because they respect the student's ability to intellectualize
in any given area, the administrators because they wish to
channel what would otherwise
be destructive energy directed
against the administration...
protest for protest's sake ... into
constructive criticism cha:nnelled into the governmental
structure. The administrators
are perhaps wise enough to
realize that if the critics of the
university are given at least
minimuni partial involvement in
the governing of the university,
their efforts then become directed upon the students. This
kind of action would at once
involve critical student acti vists in the practicalities of
university administration, and
at the same time turn them into
staunch defenders of university
policy in the face of the students.
It is therefore to the university's advantage to accede to
student pressures for representation in Senates, on Faculty
Councils, and even on departments. The most they can lose
is a sense of primacy ..... the
least ls a quieter campus.

first occasion when a membef
'.lf the Lakehead University
teaching staff presented a paper at an international conference.
The substance of Dr. Sarbadhikari 's thesis, which is
based on the complex situation
in India, is of interest to federal systems such as Canada.
Foreign policy, he argues,
should not be the monopoly of
the central government elite
but should also reflect the entire balance of political forces
within the country; including
attitudes of provincial governments, economic classes, professional associations, etc. A
policy reflecting a· diversity of
attitudes would tend to· be less
rigid. and committed and thus
help in promoting international
peace. Foreign policy should
reflect the attitudes not only of
governments but of the society
at large.
Dr. Sarbadhikari is a graduate of the celebrated London
School of Economics and Political Science, London University
and did post-graduate research
work
leading to a Doctorate
at the Royal University in
Utrecht in the Netherlands, one
of Europe's oldest seats of
learning. He was on the faculty
at Jadavpur University, in Cal-·
cutta, India, before joining
Lakehead University in 1965.
He has been awarded a travel
grant from the Canada council

Library book losses are expected to be high this year. In
the words of the university
Librarian, Mr. E. Belton, "an
unreasonable number of books
has disappeared."
At the time of our going to
press, the library inventory is
not complete, but preliminary
indications are that the book
losses will run to over one
per cent of the library's estimated 60,000 volumes. Losses
have been found to be particularly heavy in the Math and
Physics sections. In addition
to these losses, an improportionate number of bound periodicals, especially in the
Psychology section, have been
found to be damaged. In many
of these, .pages have been torn
out; the library will have to
either replace these volumes
in their entirety or insert
photo-copies of the missing
pages.
Mr. Belton explained that
while "one has to accept the
fact that a proportion (of books)
does disappear", an attempt
should be made to keep losses
at a minimum. This is in the
interests of all members of the
university. The loss of books
is an inconvenience to library
users, and is a drain on library
resources.
Mr. Belton further explained that the system of bookborrowing at the library depended largely upon the cooperation and honesty of readers. Students will be well
aware that there is no difficulty in taking out books without authority. Because so many
students do this, some sort of
check at the exit will have to
be instituted. Mr. Belton stated that he was not sure at this
point whether the check system would be in the form of
guards who would do nothing
except check books, or whether the system would be incorporated somehow with the existing de&lt;;lt arrangement. He
indicated
that experiments
may be made during the Summer School session.

CASEY KARLSTED

REPORT FROM RUSSIA
By Ifayne Tocheri
It was something of an unexpected graduation gift when I received news ·or my selection to participate in the first Soviet Union Canada University Student Exchange Tour.
Twenty-six students, most all of whom were
seniors or graduates from universities across
Canada, were chosen by the Canadian Union
of Students for this unique endeavour. With all
arrangements completed, we would tour the
Soviet Union for three weeks covering almost
3,000 linear miles with official Sputnikjuide·s
and translators.
I should explain, however, that while we
were an official delegation from Canada, we
were not empowered to represent officially
the C.U.S. or even .our respective campuses.
I am stating this now because our status involved us in an extremely flambuoyant situation towards the end of the tour . . I shall
save the details of this incident for a separ~
ate article in a future issue.
The tour, which began on May 12 and ended June 7 was the first stage of the Exchange.
The second portion will commence with the
Soviet delegation's arrival in Canada later
this fall or early January. The Soviet and Canadian Unions are cooperating to ensure the·
success of the Exchange. The primary purpose of the URions in sponsoring the tour for
university students is to increase their knowledge and understanding of the two nations.
Since the space allotment made by the·
Argus editor prohibits me from attempting any
specific analysis I shall contain this article
to only an introductory report for the future
columns.
After completing a one day orientation session in Montreal we flew by Air Canada to
London where we transferred to British European Airlines for the flight to Moscow. Any
city of seven million people will certainly
leave a graduate with plenty to talk and write
about. Moscow is no exception! I spent seven
days there, three at the beginning of the tour
and four at the end. In the next issue I shall
discuss the topic of international trade Moscow style of course. It is entitled "Moscovites on Black Market."
From the nation's capital, we travelled

400 miles north by train to Leningrad. Our
three day stay in this city bordering Finland
afforded an excellent opportunity for an intro duction to· "Komsomol" (roughly Communist
Youth) their attitudes and activities, (first
hand by me).
It was a terrifying 600 mile air flight from
Leningrad on the ever so modern airline (Soviet description) - Aeroflot - which brought us
to Kiev. Four days in the heart of the Ukraine
provided ample opportunity for "free" movement among the people. It was in Kiev that I
found conclusive evidence in support of the
theory that our world 1s too small for boundaries. I met a charming couple, an acquaintance of mine, from Fort William! They too,
were on a tour of their own.
I have an exceedingly non-descript titlefor
my article on the Ukraine. It is simply, "The
People of Kiev" , but I doubt that I will be
able to ·remain on topic throughout as there
were too many side events which I must relate. See you in Kiev article four!
If you're still with me, we climb aboard
another train, this time for a gruelling thirty
hour, 900 mile, route to Sochi on the Black
Sea. Six days tn a sub-tropical resort town
in a resort camp for youth ( anyone between
the ages 18·50)! is too much for one article.
Therefore, my first review shall be a look at
a few interesting individuals with whom I associated. My most intriguing character was a
young lady and our ensuing situation prompts
the title "Svetlana ·- An Agent?".
Article two from Sochi is "An International Incident." I am holding this review for
the finale primarily because I am awaiting a
copy of a resolution handed our delegation in
So chi on International Save the Children Day.
We departed the day following which came
none too soon. Canadians were not welcome
anymore because we alone refused to sign the
resolution. Privileges of democratic nations
are not recognized (i.e. in Russia you do as
the Russians).
Hope yau will follow future editions and
me, your Argus correspondant from the Soviet Union.

THE CULTURAL REVOLUTION

THE ARGUS
ROD PHILLIPS

October 28, 1966, Vol. I, No. III, Lakehead, Ontario

One of themostdebatedaspectsofcurrent
Chinese society is that which is called the
"Proletarian Cultural Revolution".
To understand the reason for the Cultural
Revolution it is necessary to understand
the Chinese Communists' concept of revolution - what one might call the concept
of the "evolution of revolution". Briefly,
the main stages of this evolution are the
gaining of political power, the transformation of the economy, and the transformation of men's minds. The first two
stages have been completed, and the final
consolidation of the revolution depends on
the completion of the last stage - the
Cultural Revolution.
This takes the form of the virtual worship
of the writings of Mao Tse-Tung, and the
suppression of all thought, ideals, and
attitudes which are considered 'bourgeois',
'reactionary', or 'decadent'.
There is a widespread belief that that
which is called the 'Cultural Revolution'
is in actual fact a struggle far succession.
This does come into it, but not in the way
is a means of ensuring purity of thought
in the coming generation, so that the revolution will be perpetuated and society will
not fall back to pre-revolutionary ideals.

A NEW CAMPUS
A NEW FUTURE
Today a dream was consummated with the official
announcement of a dynamic expansion program at Lakehead University. ,
The entire campus will be constructed on a sprawling
design, not in terms of multi-story monstrosities. Buildings
will accomoc!ate climatic factors as well as landscape. Ushaped, construction will surround a 5-acre artificial lake,
to be formed by the darning of the McIntyre River. This
body of water will provide a focal point comparable to
the mountains of Simon Fraser University. The lake will
inevitably be used by students for skating and swimming,
and a sand beach might even be considered!

HUGE CENTENNIAL COMPLEX
The $13,000,000 Centennial Complex, will be the major
single edifice. This one building will cost 250% more than
the total cost of all present structures. Increased facilities
for students such as lounges, residences, and cafeterias
will be another feature.
Architects Fairfield and Dubois have designed such famous
sites as the Shakespearean Theatre in Stratford, Ontario, as
well as the Ontario pavilion at Expo '67. Although all final
plans are not as yet complete, some construction will
commence almost immediately; the field house is anticipated to be finished next September. Ground will be
broken early in the new year for the Science building.
_ Already there are rumors of a 3-storey addition to the
library.

PRESIDENT TAMBLYN LAUDED
Thrilling as these details may be, many individuals will
scoff at the plans, feeling that expenditures are mere frills.
But even these people will admit that increased facilities
will attract both students and faculty to Lakehead University.
Much credit must be bestowed on President W. G.
Tamblyn. In his year and a half here, he has converted
ours from a small college to a great university complex.
His thinking has been on a grand scale when such ideas
were very much needed. We thank you, sir, for giving
us a university.

THE ARGUS
NEEDS YOU
We have received many comments on the first edition
of the ARGUS, and fortunately most of them have been
complimentary. Thanks to the student body a great future
now seems assured.
To assume a position of respect in the small circle of
Canadian University newspapers, high literary and editorial standards must be maintained. So far, in our short
• term of existence as a unit, we have been very pleased
with the quality of material that has been forwarded to
us. Unfortunately, the quantity has been small. We need
material from you, the student body, and we assure any
writers that their .efforts will be received with appreciation.
You have no idea of the amount of work that was done in
the ARGUS office to attaln the present format. Last year's
paper was sadly lacking in scope and size. This year we
decided to set as our goal the bi-monthly publication of
an eight-page edition, on par with any campus paper in
Canada. The amount of work that had to be done in revamping the whole set-up was incredible. However, the
jobs all found willing workers--not many, mind you--but
willing. There is now talk of increasing the size to a
twelve-page edition.
But this is only a plan for the future. We hope that
the present will be successful enough to warrant a future.

■

In this way is the Cultural Revolution a
struggle for succession.
But what of the most obvious manifeStations of the Cultural Revolution? What
of the changes in the Communisthierarchy,
of the Red Guards, for example?
The changes in leadership circles can,
I think, be attributed to the general purposes
of the Cultural Revolution - that is to say
that those who can be guaranteed to carry
on the revolution most strongly will be
placed above the rest. This accounts for
the emergence of Lin Piao as second only
to Mao himself in the government.
The Red Guards are an unknownquantity.
They have been depicted by the Western
press as hooligans, and by the Chinese as
little more than enthusiastic Boy Scouts.
·Since the initial rash, horror stories of
the Red Guards' activities have all but
disappeared from the pages of our press,
and one must conclude the excesses were
due to early enthusiasm. This, of course,
is no excuse. In fact, the idea that anyone,
whatever his motive or ideal, can enter
and search at will the homes of citizens,
is repugnant to anyone who values thefreedom of the individual.
These are the conclusions I draw from
the facts available. The Cultural Revolution
is by no means in sight, and the world
will continue to watch carefully events in
China.

YOUTH AND-PARTY POLITICS
JACK LEMMON

"Things have changed Someway,
Today is no longer yesterday,
Tomorrow is coming on
Like the rising wind that's strong."
(W .D., THE RISING WIND)
In the 1960' s youth plays an important
role in Canadian politics.
The effect of thousands of youthful voters,
born during the postwar baby boom, is
having its effect on the old image of the
political parties. These youngpeople, better
educated and in a more favourable position
to demand change, are making the old
parties review their principles. It is estimated that in 10 years the majority of
voters in Canada will be between 21 and
30. There is also a strong trend to lower
the voting age to 18, thus throwing thousands
more into the political arena. This onslaught has forced all the parties into
a transitional period since the late '50's.
"THINK YOUNG" has been the rallying
cry of the·· politicians as elderly members
are shuttled into the Old Folks'. Home
of politics, the Senate. There are a few
exceptions to this rule, evident to all,
in the persons of Mr. Diefenbaker and
Mr. Pearson, but there is a progressive
desire in the air to retire these two.
In the recent Liberal party convention
Mr. Pearson had his position confirmed,

but a motion was presented and ratified
by the younger members of the party to
the effect that, after every election, the
leaders be re\tiewed at a party convention.
This makes Mr. Pearson's role less static
than he realized. Mr. Diefenbaker has to
face a major conflict in the not too distant
future, and I would not be surprised if
there were a new leader of the P .C .' s
in six months.
The progressive increase of support for
smaller parties, particularly the NDP, can
also be traced in part to this youth trend.
The appeal of these parties is primarily
to the young voter fired with enthusiasm
for ideals slightly left or right of the
standard middle-of-the-road approach of
the pre-60's Liberal and Progressive Conservative parties. This, however, has been
a world trend and not entirely a Canadian
one. As an example, the major middle-ofthe-road party in the U.K., the Whigs or
Liberals, have been erased as a major
for~e in British politics. In contrast to
their big majority governments before the
Second World War, they now hold 6 seats
in a parliament of 650 seats.
Contrary to what older supporters think
of the young, there is no holding them
back now. The confused generation, as
the young are called, are not necessarily
so, but could be described as the confusing generation as they move into the
political scene with their newer ideals
and vibrant energy.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
THE TUNNEL
Sex fiends arise and help
me fight the war on
barreness. Some brave artist step forward and volunteer for active duty. Those
barren tunnel walls should be
alive with the fruit of the
artist's brush. Can'tyoujust
hear the hurrying, trembling
footsteps towards the library if a 36-foot long Lady
Godiva--with hair flying in
the wind--was painted on the
far tunnel wall? Or how about
a sequence of Gypsy Rose
Lee in her various stages
of--how shall I say-undress?
But seriously, don't you
think that those tunnel walls
should be some other colour

than maiden white?
So here is what I propose,
and I hope you will all sup..
port me.
We will get many pails
of various colours of paint
and have a paint-the-tunnel
day where everyone brings
a brush and slaps some paint
on a part of the tunnel walls.
In no time' at all we could
have a modem mural which
we could all be :Qroud of and
say 'That's a part of me' -ugh!
So write to 'THE GZORP'
in care of the ARGUS and
tell me if you support me or
have any ideas.
Read the bulletin boards
in a week or two for further
information rep.rding a
'paint-the-tunnel meeting.

Dear Sir:

Re: The Flies

(The Argus, October 14th,

The overpopulation of flies
in the cafeteria should not
be so repulsive as to reduce the clientele. We must
remember that the cafeteria
is recommended by DRUNKEN HINES and why not eat
there--10,000 flies can't be

THE ARGUS

Lakehead Universitypresident Dr. W. G. Tamblyn today announced a $23,000,000
expansion program which
will transform the present
complex into a modern,
'campus in the round' built
on the shores of a five-acre
man-made lake.
Work will begin this January. The majority of the
construction will be completed by 1968.
The announcement is the
culmination of more than a
year of intense study by university officials and planning
experts. The development
announced today is stage one
in a three-stage program of
university expansion up to
the year 2010. This first
stage covers the university's
needs up to the 3,000 enrolment level.
The development will involve the immediate addition of three storeys to the
present library, a new athletic field house and the start

on a 300-room residence. It
is hoped that all three projects can be completed by
September, 1967.
The major showpiece in the
new campus, a $12,000,000
Centennial Complex housing
science, technology and ad..
ministration will be started
next spring with a completion
date of 1968. A rambling
cafeteria and dining addition
to the present University
Centre and special alterations and changes for the
present Academic Quadrangle will be started at the
same time. A new academic
building to be situated between
the library and
Oliver Road will be the final
project in the first stage.
Cost of the library addition
is expected to be more than
$1,200,000. The Field House
will involve $750,000 for the
initial building and a further $300,000 for an addition within the next few
years. The residences will

In the first event of the day,
the junior varsity, L.U. took
an early lead and held it up

But it was St. Thomas

involve more than$2,500,000
and the University Centre
addition will cost $1,200,000.
More than $2,000,000 in science and technology equipment and furnishings are
planned for the Centennial
Complex, bringing the buildings' worth to more than
$14,000,000. The remainder
of the costs involve property,
site development, equipment
and special facilities.
Governemtn grants cover
from 50 to 85% of the building costs, depending on the
type of projects. The university must supply the remainder.
Architects for the project
are the well-known Toronto
firm of FairfieldandDubois,
architects for such projects
as The Stratford Shakespearian Festival Playhouse
and the Ontario 'Expo' Pavilion for 1967. They are
•presently working on finished designs for_ the individual buildings.
Focal point of thenewcampus will be the large manmade lake which will be
created by the damming of
the McIntyre River. The lake
will be functional as well as
picturesque in that it will
be used for skating and curling in the winter and swimming in the summer. The
buildings form sheltered 'U'
shaped designs around the
lake with almost the entire
campus connected by underground tunnels, designs especially suited for the northern winters. The buildings
are mainly three and four
storey structures to take advantage of the landscape and
the spacious university property.
Dr. Tan;iblyn stressed the
university's concern for
functional, economical beauty in design.
'We were most conscious
of developing a functional
design without the frills of
some recent university projects across Canada,' he declared. 'But we were also
aware of the needforbeauty,
impression
and
lasting
design that would make the
people of Northwestern Ontario proud of their university today and in the years

to come. We have tried to develop both and I am pleased
to say that I think this has
been accomplished in this
model. The lake will be a
focal point allowing for dramatic and warming landscape development, functional recreational activity
and a central core for university development.'
The unprecedented enrolment in the past two years
has necessitated the change
in plans for the university
library which was just officially opened this week. Originally scheduled for 1970,
the addition has been moved
ahead as 'the fastest logical
way to provide essential
space for classes and new
faculty offices'. The addition
will make the library a
$2,700,000 six-storey building, the tallest on campus.
The architects for this building were the Lakeheadfirm
of Fraser, Mickelson and
Brown.

WILL WE USE FIELD DOUSE?
During the last two weeks I have been in consultation
at different times with Athletic Coordinator Bill Shannon
and S.A.S. president Chuck Sameluk and I have come to
the conclusion that the students of ~Lakehead University
do NOT want a field house on campus.
Since the beginning of classes in September several
groups in the University have emphatically spoken out
in favour of a field house. In fact, one such group has
gone as far as to circulate a petition, which by the way
was signed by more than 500 students, stating that the
great size of student enrolment at L.U. demands that
we have a field house.
But would the students of Lakehead University support
the Athletic Department in their quest to find a •sport
for every student and a student for every sport•. Where
are the 500 people who signed that petition? Better still,
where are the 1,000-students who fought their way through
opening week dilemma all the way to the S.A.S. office to
pick up the Olympus? If YOU won't support the wide
variety of sports activities offered this year, how can you
ever expect our administration to continue withfieldhouse
plans.
SOME ST ATISTICS
For some of the skeptics who won'tbelievemy seemingly
unpatriotic jargon, here are some actual statistics compiled
qUite easily by the Athletic Department. Don't forget that
all quoted figures are out of a total of 1,800 registered
students. Thus far we have one person interested in volleyball, not enough for rugger, 14 who want to play intramural basketball which requires at least one team from
each faculty, and four make-shift rag tag teams. We have
also got 22 bowlers and at least 12 curlers. Everyone wants
a pool in the field house and yet the pool facilities that we
have access to at the YMCA are never utilized to even half
their intended extent. And the first day of cheerleading
practice looked impressive with about 20 girls attending
but since then the record attendance has been four.

Coach Bristowe is so pleased
with the enthusiasm shown
that he thinks he might form
a Varsity squad and a 'B'
squad. Approximately 24
players are trying out for
the 12 berths on the Varsity
squad.
Coach Bristowe feels that
the team, not overly endowed
with height, will develop into
a hustling, fast-breaking
unit. The team will compete
in an intercollegiate schedule as indicated in the athletic handbook, and also in
the Senior Men's Division
of the Thunder Bay Basketball Association.

The smokestack lifts its heavy head
And yawning, throws back its blackened bed-clothes,
Driving the darkfrom the sky with hot and blue-grey breath.
The rude awakening catches the heavens in rumpled sheets,
While nocturnal remnants lurk down western walls.
Man goes hissing to the forge
And the silent night-lights blink

IN PRAISE OF
OLDER WOMEN
by Ken Conrad

And I always used to think that society frowned on
these boy-woman relationships. Bad for the heart, or
something.
However, people are so open-minded these days that
you can recount the amor-0us adventures of one dedicated
to the gratification of bored housewives and be accepted
as an author of merit. This phenomenon has happened
to Ste\'hen Vizinczey. His book 'In Praise of Older
Women has three obvious qualities: freshness, as a
twelve-year-old pimp would have; audacity, as a nineteenyear-old would have; trade-manual technique, as a thirtytwo-year-old professor would have. Yet one must suffer
this flu&lt;ttuating style in order to utilize the available meat
in ViZmczey' s message, which is really a combined tribute to mature European women andpossibleplanof action
for the younger male.
But where is little sister while not-much-bigger brother
is following Vizificzey's dictates! Developing muscles to
shape and mould her growing body? Taking lessons from
that willing father-of-five down the street? Probably the
latter. (We all have equal rights, you know.)
Such ideas as guidelines for youth are of dubious merit.
But their author has certainly mixedbusinessandpleasure
in writing this book. He deserves some sort of..an award.

MOVIE REVIEW

FANTASTIC VOYAGE
Come on a journey through a man's blood-steam. Assume
microbe proportions, where you must dodge red corpuscles
just to survive. Race against time, toward a damaged
brain, in an attempt to free a clot with a laser gun. Move
to within moments of your destination, only to be diverted
at the last second, back through the heart. Know that
you have but an hour to complete your mission. before
you begin to return to normal size. Imagine those last,
few, precious seconds, running out with the terrifying
spectre of being trapped in the most awesome prison
of an, the man himself.
This is a biologist's dream. This is a story from the
world renown scientist, Isaac Asimov. This is a chance
to view the most complex organism in existence, from the
unique position, within. This is the opportunity to encounter life as we seldom realize it, and it is the opportunity to share in a remarkable adventure. This is the
most fantastic voyage you will ever see.
Don't miss it.

NURSES NEE'll A VOTE!

In the 3 1/2 hours du..
ration of the A.M.S. meeting
on Monday, October 17th, two
points ofinterestarose. Firstly, the question of nurses'
representation on council,
and secondly, the councillors' lack of desire to
participate in the sharing of
responsibilities, according
to this reporter, deserve
attention and subsequent
comment.
Mr. Tocheri,A.M.S. President, stated that the executive.--probably during the
summer months--(my conjecture) entered into nego..

might provide the basis for

the executive revealed, there
would be only one vote for
the three nursing representatives.
At this time, two opposing
views arise. Primarily, did
the A.M.S. executive have
the constitutional right to
decide on what the conditions
the nurses could obtain a vote

decision. As one councillor

and the source of the action.
Behan's purpose, however,
was not to create a lengthy
or complicated plot. It was
simply to have a basis around which to develop the
theme.
Behan exploits two major
themes. The first is a condemnation of people, being
so possessed with an ideal
that, in pursuing this ideal,
they become oblivious to basic humanity. The second
is that people in their normal living are above any
abstractions imposed upon
them by ethnic, political,
chauvinistic, religious or
ethical conditions.
Along with all its complexities and humour this play
was presented on October
13, 14, 15. In most aspects
there were glimpses of real
acting, making it difficult
to see that it was performed
by an amateur group.
Pat, the caretaker (?) of
the house, portrayed by Dr.
Tom Miller, was acted with
gusto. It was evident that the
role was studied somewhat,
be~ause Pat's part -involved
more than just an uncouth
Irish drunk.

This is only a sample of
the comedy and wit which
Behan has involved in the
story of The Hostage. This,
to the shocJc and amusement
of the audience, was delivered by three obvious homosexuals. These men were
only part of the residents
of a contemporary whorehouse, which included a
pimp, two prostitutes, a Russian sailor (client), a mad
Colonel plus assor):ed displaced people. Behan uses
circumstances to involve
this seemingly weird assortment of characters il).to a
tragi-comedy.
A young Irish Republican
soldier has been sentenced
to hang for the murder of a
Northern Irish policeman.
In reprisal the I.R.A. has

'TRIVIA' TAKES TIME AT AMS MEETING
by Don Colbome

Adding machines and cash
registers geared for action,
the A.M.S. (Allotment of
Money Service) second regular council meeting was
called to order by Keeper
of the Cash, Wayne Tocheri.
From 8:00 p.m. BoardRoom
time (7:42 Library; 12 noon
Wing B; 8:12 Residence) until 11:20 Crest time various
blather was belaboured ad
nauseum.
Some highlights of the meeting include:
• Gross discussion resulted
in 'up to $180' being pryed
loose to send delegates from
the Precambrian Club to a
conference in Winnipeg.
• An entirely pointless discussion was pursued pertaining to matters delegated
(at length) to the residence
and cafeteria food committees at a previous meeting.
• The schools of nursing
will likely be given three
ex-officio voices on council
with a combined vote of one.
The uncharacteristic dispatch with which this item
was carried can probably
be explained by the unwritten
'nobody knocks nurses' hypothesis. Could the additional provision that each student nurse pay a $10.00
A.M.S. fee have had anything to do with the speed
of this decision? (Ho-hum,
another $1,200 in the surplus).
• A report from the delegation to the China TeachIn was postponed until the
next meeting. Back to form,
the council spent twenty minutes discussing the topic

ARGUS GETS $6790

The A.M.S. budget hasbeen
setl Where did your $20.00
go?
The Argus, the university
newspaper, has received an
allottnent of $6790; total society expenses amount to
$2,665. This figure includes
an allotment of $1,740forthe
Arts Society Council. University Schools, including
Business, Engineering and

its other faculties tias received $860. Numerous clubs
received funds (allottnents
appear in brackets): Business Club ($35), Camera
Club ($557), Chess Club
($95), Chinese StudentAssociation ($230), Ukranian Club
($125), and W.u.s.c. ($55).
Space does not permit the
presentation of all club disbursements.

Other interesting items on
the budget include a reservation of $1500 for honoraria or wages, calendar
sales of $4,000 and $1200
expense allowance for unplanned events. Total estimated revenues amount to
$33,885 and total estimated
expenses amount to $33,492
leaving a net income of
$393.

Mr. Hider, A.M.S. Treasurer, hoped to be able to
show a surplus of $3000.
This surplus would be required to cover the costs
of a summer program
($1000), 1967 Welcome Week
($1000), and expenses incurred by delegates to the
C.U.S. Seminar, and two
other Conferences ($850).
One item noticeably absent from the proposed bud-

DAVIS' POSAP

- SCHMOSAP

BY ROBERT MAIN

I feel that Mr. Davis, the
minister of education for
Ontario, has made a farce of
the term •student aid". The
Province of Ontario Student
Award Plan (P.O.S.A.P.)can
only be termed a folly and
an insult by anyone who has
had the misfortune of dealing
With it.

MEANS TEST

To begin with, a student
must submit himself and his
parents to the embarrassment and ridicule of a
"means test9. This test is
an unjustifiable infringement
of personal freedom. No
matter how confidential the
applications are, government has no right to expect
answers to questions con..:
cerning the personal expenses and debts of an aPplicant. Questions referring to medical expenses,
bank accounts, pensions and
other forms of income such
as alimony are personal
matters, not to be thrown
open to the inspection of
some official in Toronto.
But in order for a student
to qualify for this type of
aid, the parents of the student must reveal their complete financial status •with
regards to income, loans,
medical expenses, estimated earnings, real estate,
investments, savings and
outstanding debts. This is
no business of the Government of Ontario,
"DA VIS FOLLY•
Under the old system of
type A and B bursaries, a

by far better than the existing •Davis Folly9 P.o.S.A.P. Under this plan, a

would actually get only $40
in the form of a bursary.
That is, the first $150 is

remainder is clear for the
student.
$5000 PER STUDENT
Mr. Davis has been quoted
as saying that the government has spent a quarter of
a billion dollars in student
aid to some 55,000 applicants. This comes out to
about $5,000 per student.
I would like to ask Mr.
Davis what happened to the
$4,940 he still owes me?
As if P.O.S.A.P. isn't enough of a mockery of student aid, the applicant is
expected to wait anywhere
from six weeks to three
months to receive word about
his loan. What is a student
in need of financial aid expected to do during this period of investigation by P .0.S.A.P.? The conditions are
so bad at Ryerson Polytechnical Institute, that the
Ryerson student council is
forced to make short term
loans to students awaiting
word on their awards. On
our own campus the situation is not quite as desperate, but many students will
indeed feel the lack of funds
if their loan applications are
delayed much longer. Many
are already finding it difficult to see where their rent

for November is going to
come from.
There is no need for a delay in these loans. As it
appears now, every application must go through one
desk in Toronto. Mr. Davis
has a billion dollar education budget and yet he can
apparently afford only one
man to process all the aPplications for loans.
REGIONAL AID BUREAUS
The Canadian Union of Students has stated that free
education is the only answer
to the manifold problems
brought about by any student
aid programme. While this
is undoubtedly going to come
about in the very near future, it does not solve the
present difficulties. Universities still depend on tuition fees for a large part
of their working budgets and
until this can be rectified
• with governmental aid to the
university rather than to the
student, the present problems will exist. It would
seem a logical solution to
the problem would be a decentralization of the present
system. The province should
be divided into sectors based on the number of students planning post-secondary school education. Each
one of these sectors could
then more effectively deal
with all the aid which must
now go through one office in
Toronto. These regionalaid
bureaus could deal on a personal basis with applicants
for financial support and
would effectively reduce the
present means test and wai-

ting period. The financial
support for this type of system would come from the
Federal Government, shifting a greater percentage of
government revenues to the
joint municipal and provincial
governments. This
would give each province the
finances necessary for such
a system. It would eliminate the present split of
responsibility between the
Federal and Provincial Governments in which each government claims the other is
at fault for any mishandling
of student aid.

STUDENT VIEWS
Much discussion and debating is presently going on
in Toronto and Ottawa as to
what is to become of postsecondary school education.·
It is the responsibility of all
students to express their
views. Student apathy in the
past has led to the situation
which exists today. POSAP
is clearly not the solution to
the problem, and it's about
time
the
students
of
Lakehead University forgot
about their usual apathetic
natures and expressed their
views.

Students interested in obtaining information

regarding post-graduate studies leading to

BY OWEN MARKS

Port Arthur,

Some men take a bitter delight in being leaders of
• ANTI• crusades. And it is
common knowledge that any
worth-while venture will be
subjected unceasingly to petty criticism. Such is the
plight of EXPO '67.
Despite frantic assurances
by EXPO officials that Canada's world fair will be
Canada's, and not Quebec's,
and not Montreal's, sourgrape critics have consistently attempted to portray
a perverted impression that
Ex;Po is a municipal undertaking (of course, the municipality in question being
Montreal).
One is unable to truly comprehend the reasoning .of
these coneervat1ve, provincial and reactionary critics.
Canada has always been subject to a withering plague of
apathy. And usually the men
who complain about this disinterest, are the cause of it.
Locally, this same process
is apparent. EXPO has been
played down continuously by
men in so-called responsible
position. They scream to the
masses, "Montreal is EXPO! Since EXPO is in
French Canada, it is not a
Canadian venture!• Surely

these men realize that Montreal was the only Caoadian
city willing to take on the
burden of EXPO. If it were
not for Montreal, there would
be no EXPO for Canada in
1967.
But why should some of
our local factions persist in
condemning the one great
Canadian adventure of 1967?
The only reason I am able
to ascertain is that our business men are afraidoflosing
tourist support (Montreal is
2,000 miles away). These
men are willing to satisfy
their own pocketbooks at the
expense of the success of
EXPO.
A high ranking officer of
EXPO once condemned the
narrowness of the Fort William newspaper for its continuous, senseless harangue
against EXPO. This man
stated that 70% of Canada
knew of EXPO and that if
this local editor were to present the facts without bias,
this percentage f~ re would
surely be raised. Unfortunately, this Fort Williameditor has not heeded the request. EXPO will continue
to be subject to ridicule in
this area.
But unless these short-

sighted men begin to realize that •EXPO is worth all
the problems it has, and that
EXPO can be a beginning
of a Canadian, and not
American, orientated cul"ture, Canada will never be
Canadian.

AMS ABSTRACTIONS
BY HARVF.Y CLUE

After the secretary's preliminary reading
of the minutes, Treasurer Ron Hider more
or less outlined the results of the A.M.S.
Budget Meeting. Perhaps the most interesting fact gleaned is that a deficit of approximately $2,817. exists. But as Mr. Hider
pointed 01.1t there is no need to worry.
Although the Council has alloted certain
sums to clubs and organizations, experience
shows that all the money will not be spent.
Mr. Hider next presented a change in
treasury ~licy. His motion read approximately:
that the treasurer be instructed
that no funds be allotted ... until a list of
the executive members of the clubs and
the executive members of the clubs and
organizations is listed.•
President Tocheri brought up the controversial subject of political parties on campus.
Under his direction a Committee
chaired by Jack Lemmon (Arts II) was
established to investigate the feasibility
of fund disbursements to such organizations.

The Engineering and Technology Society
Constitution was next on the agenda.
Councillors decided that since they did
not have an opportunity to scrutinize
it and since they wanted the Chief Justice
to review it, tabling the item momentarily
would be most logical. Then Mr. Gerry
Hashiguchi, 1966/67 yearbook organizer
presented councillors with the pertinent
data concerning the publication of the
Nor•wester. This year, Mr. Hashiguchi
would like to expand the yearbook from
112 pages to 160 as well as to increase
the number of coloured photographs.
The discussion, howerver, was not conclusive. But at any rate preparations
for publication are underway.
There were a number of other items
on the agenda, but none that warrant
serious notice. Incidentally, this meeting
will undoubtedly go down in the A.M.S.
Annals as being one of the shortest meetings - a mere two hours (8 - 10:00 p.m.)I

MAX IS OUR MAN
With all the publicity and student reaction being dir-

ected towards the varsity hockey and basketball teams
during the fi-rst few months of classes many people
fail to realize the importance of the "man behind the
scene•.
Here at L.U. our •number one• man behind the scene
is artsman Dave •Max• Magee. Dave is the man who,
unnoticed by most fans, will spend countless hours during the season taping sticks and players and repairing
equipment.
Magee was born in Port Arthur and raised in Atikokan. He attended high school in Atikokan and spent
his final year at P .A.C .I. •Max•, as he is called by
the hockey players, has always been interested in sports
but thought that he could benefit the team more in a
managerial post.
This season Dave is taking on an
assistant in John Dampier in his first year at L.U.
after taking two years of pre-medecine. Both these
men along with basketball trainer George Roy also
act as liaison between the players and coaches and are
in every part as much of the team as the players.
I must make a public apology to rowing veteran Rob
Gerry whose name I forgot to mention in my last edition
story on rowing... Gerry, a long time member of the Fort
William Rowing Club was looked upon this past season
as the unnamed team leader ... congratulations to the
Nor'Westers basketball team for their opening game
victory over Dinty' s ... individual star of the game would
have to be rookie Don Holmstrom who notched 23 points
...fan favorite Larry Herbert excited the crowd to an
uncontrollable degree with his twenty foot swish jump
shot and possibly the two points that won the game for
Lakehead ... Herbert' s fan club members almost rioted
and did actually go to the point of throwing things when
coach Bistowe removed their hero from the game after
his record performance ... after the game Herbert was
quoted as saying •1 like the upper deck of the players•

CAGERS OPEN SCHEDULE
By LARR\' HEBERT

Wednesday November 3rd,
saw the Lakehead University
basketball team open its
schedule with a 65-63 win
against Dinty' s Kentuckians,
last years Thunder Bay Senior Men's Champs.
Don Holmstrom a rookie,
with 23 points, Bob Elvin
with 12 and Myron Warywoda
with 11 paced the L.U. team.
Bob Love turned in a solid
performance for Dinty' s as
did Ted Norland. All players
in the starting lineup, Hol-

mstrom, Elvin, Warywoda,
George Kostyshyn and Moe
Semenuik played their high
school basketball at Fort
William Collegiate.
Coach Bruce Bristowe was
pleased with his team's first
outing. He stated that in
this game he wanted to establish the team's patterns
and get the many rookies
orientated.
In the game that followed
the L.U. girls team went
down to defeat 38-18 to C.K.
P.R. Golden Tones.

Rod Ferguson fired two
rounds of 74 at Fort William Municipal Golf Course,
and 77 at Strathcona in Port
Arthur, to capture the L.U.
low gross championship.
Barry McNamee took second
place with 154.

PORT ARTHUR ARENA

BY LARRY HEBERT

I'm sure the boys ofL.U.
have nothing personal against Bill Shannon's legs, but
it seems to us that a female
coach would be more appropriate for the girls' basketball team than Bill •Legs•
Shannon.
There is certainly no shortage of sports for the girls
to participate in. To name
a few there is badminton,
basketball, curling, bowling,
swimming, and modern dancing. There is also no shortage of girls. Even on the
athletic council we have Elspeth Craig, Chris Kierzkowslci and Mar. Hamalainen.
But no where can be found
a female Athletic Director.

LES JEUNES
FEMMES

The Sports Department
feels that the girls need
someone to aid and gaide
them because there are some
things about which you just
can't talk to Bill • Ann Landers• Shannon. We' re sure
that very few girls at Lakehead University had male
Physical Education teachers
in higb school. We would
like to make it clear that
we are not criticizing Bill
Shannon in any way, but we
feel that a female Athletic
Director is badly needed and
would be a welcomed addition with the new fieldhouse.

FUNERAL
IN BERLIN

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

_ In these post-Fleming years another Englishman, Len
Deighton, has been dishing up a delectable menu of
master-spy novels, with a dash of cookery books thrown
in for variety... (it's the spice of life.)
But James Bond, the Knave, had absconded with most
of the British government's financial pie, leaving little
but crllll!rbs for his disgrlll!tled fellow-agents. Consequently, Funeral in Berlin lacks the moneyful spectaculars of •Thunderbau• and •From Russia, With Love•.
It does, however, combine that grey, obscure life of the
real secret agent with more than a touch of spine,-tingling
English mystery flavour.
Deighton starts off slowly. Routine job. Soviet scientist plans to defect. Needs safe passage into Western
world. Preliminary arrangements go rather well. But
then! Complication is compounded upon complication, as
everyone from homosexual Mr. Hallam at the Home
Office, to sometimes Jew, sometimes Nazi, Johnnie Vulcan
in West Berlin, proves untrustworthy. A whirlwind of
action and counteraction is stirred up in London, Berlin,
P:tague, with developments that baffle rather than enlighten the reader. Then, after a momentous climax
which seems to clarify the situation, new danger threaten;
on the home front, and the plot is concluded with a dynamic and highly orijinal twist.
•Funeral in Berlin is no classic, but, for the •cloakand-dagger• fan, it provides boundless excitement and
enjoyable reading.

Movie Review

AGONY
AND
ECSTACY
'In the Agony and the Ecstacy, Pope Julius II commissioned
Michelangelo to paint a fresco on the ceiling of the
Sistine Chapel. The pay was poor, the work inordinately
difficult; the artist was a sculptor, not a painter--he
spent four begrudging years, interrupted by abandonment, sickness and local wars before finally completing
a work which was hailed, then and now, as a masterpiece. It's a pity the s.;,me can't be said for the movie.
The watching of the movie, of itself, became for me,
the Agony and the Ecstacy. Let me explain: from the
book by Irving Stone has come a screen play so bland
as to dismay even the most naive. there are scenes
which smirk of the trite (eg: a mountain top revelation to inspire the artist). In other words, the story
is just one big blow out. The characterization, on the
other hand, is magnificent. Heston and Harrison have
some of the best antagonistic scenes ever filmed. Here
are two giants, bringing to life a remarkable feeling of
involvement, as proud personalities clash and history
is made. This is the ecstacy, and for me, the film was
worth seeing for these two performances alone.
There is more, however. The colour is beautiful, and so
is Diane Cilento. There is a brief display of some of
Michelangelo's works at the beginning of the film, which
has been hailed by some to be the best part of the entire picture. You will have to judge for yourself.

Students Beware

BY IRIS CONCHIE

tradlction, or what! I
We are not revolutionaries seeking to
overpower the merchants and render them
profitless. It is a matter of moving with
the times and opposing the old..fashioned
and out-moded concepts.
The concept of today, "the customer is
king"", is plainly seen in the fashion world
where competition has gone wild to please
the every whim of the customer. In Southern Ontario, stores must cater to the market to survive. At the Lakehead we are
isolated in the frozen northland; therefore the merchants have the upper hand.
In 1913 Henry Ford built a Model T Ford
which remained the same until 1926. His
famous statemnt was, "Ycu can paint my
cars any colour you want as long as its
black•. It is now the year 1966 and our
local concept seems to parallel this, that
we can deal at local stores anyway we want
as long as it is the way set by the merchants.
University students on a limited budget
would definitely be drawn to the stores
giving discounts, and as a result, these
stores my increase their overall profits.
The Ski Clubs of the Lakehead have offered the students a 20% discount for some- time now. Was this a rrecedent?
Stay tuned but don t bold your breath.

Polution Problems
BY WILLIAM SHERIDAN

Pollution and especially water pollution is something
that most people are against. But what exactly is water
pollution and what does it effect? Can a body of water
be polluted for man and not for other organisms? The
answer and other questions are currently the concern of
Dr. Ozburn of the biology department and his research
staff.
Late last spring Dr. Ozburn, Mr. Bruce Bristowe and
research assistant Don Dutchak conducted a preliminary study of the lower reaches of the McIntyre River.
The study bas since been expanded into a full scale
research project employing two graduate students,
Lorne Everett and Kyle Bishop.
_
Evidence indicates that the invertebrate fauna of the
lower McIntyre has undergone a drastic change from
the expected norm. By establishing laboratory cultures
of some of these invertebrates and testing the effects
of various known pollutants Dr. Ozburn• s group hopes to
determir\e what changes have occurred and if they are
indicative of pollution.
Credit must go to Dr. Ozburn and the biology department for the lead in an area of such vital concern to
the community and the nati«?n• Good show Bio.I

BY PERRY SNOW

BY RUSS R0THNEY

Buttons, posters, and things are blooming on university
campuses across Canada. Conversation is shifting(slightly)
from booze, broads, and wheels to Texas cowboys and
napalm.
In September the UniversityofTorontoCEWV(Committee
to End the War in Viemam) designated November 11th
and 12th as the Canadian •student Days of protest" (SOP)
Many individuals who volunteered time and effort in
promoting the SOP have encountered the usual attempts
at intimidation by some bigoted elements in society.
Nonetheless, student groups in at least Montreal, Ottawa,
Kingston, St. Catherines, Toronto, London, Port Arthur,
Winnipeg, Saskatoon, Regina, Calgary, Edmonton and
Vancouver have organized local actions to extend the
customary concept of remembrance Day.
PAST AND PRESENT
Our own student Vietnam Action Committee (independent) like the U. of T. CEWV), is asking us to •remember
those who dies in past wars, and to demand that the present slaughter in Vietnam be stopped•.
Apparently a few people claim to not understand why
committees of this type should be tolerated. They consider such a formation to be an unnecessary threat to
individual thought.
Do they think that university students are sheep who are
unable to resist any attitudes which are presented to them
in an organized way?
A VOIDING THE ISSUE
Surely any person who would attempt to make an issue
of the existence of a committee is simply unhappy about
its stand and is either unwilling or unable to offer criticism of this stand.
In the case of Viemam, pro-Johnson policy propaganda is
pumped out by multi-million dollar organizations in the
U.S. Should concerned student groups (with no funds) be
prohibited as a threat to freedom of thought? .•. On the
contrary, they represent freedom of thought.
CRUCIAL MATTER
The question of whether or not the Viemamese are entitled to the right of self-determination is not a mere
academic matter. At this moment the blood of civilians
and soldiers is running freely.
••. On the stage of the University Center Theater at
1:00 p.m., Friday, Nov. 11, there will be students, professors, clergymen, politicians, peace activists, labour
leaders, folk-singers, buttons, posters and things.

Everywhere one looks in this university, he sees a
melodramatic display of posters and buttons of protest.
It seems that the Viet Nam Committee has got something to complain about--American involvmentin Viemam.
The followers of this committee have not only taken an
unrealistic approach to the situation, but have simply
amassed a general cry of protest. These fanatics (?)
have inadvertantly climbed on the current bandwagon,
they fail to assess and evaluate their own diverging personal opinions.

REASON IS THE KEY
Nearly every mind is capable of making sound judgments
via a method called reasoning. The ability to reason is
inherent in Joe Individual and also in Pete Politician (the
joiner). Joe Individual will try: l)to assimilate whatever
information is available which deals with the things under
consideration, in this case the Viemam War; 2) to assess
and reassess this information and discard what is irrelevant and basically propagandist; 3) to question the
validity and reliability of their information; 4) to adapt
a divergent method of thought as much as he is able
in an attempt to consider all possible facets and aspects
of the situation. Then and only then will he make a judgment which he is awa:r;e is still susceptible to further
future information that will,alter or change it.

INDIVIDUALISM NOT REGIMENTATION
Not so with Pete Politician. He· will adapt the same
process of reasoning. Here is where the difference is
apparent; Pete will stop at the first step. He will assimilate the available information, batter it about in generalities, and on this will base his definite, unyielding judgment. He then forms a group because, after all, others
should benefit from his •judgment". This group takes
up the cross, organizes discussions, convenes ina •march"
in which the dedicated participants wear a look of intense
conviction, and delude themselves that they are accomplishing something.

CHANCELLOR EXAMINES RARE BOOKS
A procession composed of members of the faculty,
administration, and A.M.S. Council who paraded from
the University Centre Building, initiated the official
opening of not only the new library building, but also
the additions to the main university structure and the
residence.
The members of the procession made their way along
the sidewalk, draped by numerous foreign flags (rePresenting the cosmopolitan atmosphere found in the residence), to the main floor of the library. Here the
guest of honour was Senator Norman McLeod Paterson,
Chancellor of the University. Prior to the senator's
official opening of the library, the audience, which was
of only moderate size, heard several speeches including
addresses from Dr. Bartley, chairman of the board of
Governors and Dr. Tamblyn, University President.
Perhaps the most interesting highlight of the afternoon was Senator Paterson's presentation of a 200year-old Bible to the chief librarian. This is another
addition to the already numerous rare books on display in the library.
The affair culminated in a guided tour of the library
for all visitors after which a reception was held in
honour of Senator Paterson.

THE ARGUS

PMiE TWELVE

A- M11111111S Success

BlACK IS BLACK

BY JIM SANDERS

The Circle K Massacre
•Black is Black•which took
place on Saturday night,, October 29, was a monstrous
success. Everyone from babies to mummies and from
Roman soldiers to Arabian
girls attended the dance.
Everyone present was in true
Halloween spirit, (although
there were some that carried
the •spirits• a little too far).
With regards to the •posh·
office• leased to Circle K
for the evening, counesy of
the A.M.S., we thought it was
quite appropriate. We're not
proud. There were no grotesque business transactions
carried on inside •the office• as some joker took
off with the •mama• roll of
toilet tissue. The •office•
brought out a true atmosphere and accented the eyecatching spider web which
some daddy spider spun beside it. Or is it lady spiders
that spin webs?
The Circle K realizes that
the •oFFICE.,--or should I
say outhouse--was in a rather useless position because for most it was a long
trek from the cave to the
fathest extremities of the
hall.
The cave which housed the
band for the Massacre was
relatively empty of spooks
and horrors. The Circle K
realized that such would not
contribute to the performance given by the
Tierras.

Crestology 1a6
Crestology, although completely voluntary, has the
largest enrollment of any
course in the University.
It's popularity, in fact, is
so high that three or four
staff members must be at
hand-to provide students with
the necessary material.
This •applied sociology
course• is one of the few
functions that bring all faculties together in harmonious co-existence. Advantages and benefits are countless.
One can become proficient
in the an of public speaking
as many topics are •discussed•. Here one can obtain his degree in •a.s.",
his M.S. •more of the same•
and his Ph.D. •piled higher
and deeper•. One can also
demonstrate his skills at
shuffleboard, .while satiating his appetite on polish
sausages and quenching his
thirst with tbat famous fluid.
This course provides for
the •poor starving college
students•. Often throughout
the school year there are
those who find themselves
shon of glasses, chairs,
ashtrays, etc. By attending
a class all such problems
are solved. For all potential lawyers, there is the
bar.

Much credit and recognition should be given the
prime members of the Club
who put forth a great effon - • • - - - • • • • • •
and a lot of their time to
maintain a trend that was
initiated at last years •Eve
of Destruction•.

Political discussion predominates. Reactionaries,
with daddy's cash, and drinking bottled beer battle it
out with the poor proletarians of the N.D.P. (Nothing but Draught Please).
The student with the greatest number of hours in lab
work is presented with a
chrome plated draught glass
and automatically earns his
B.A. (basic alcoholism).
There is a very compresive post-graduate course,
however anyone wishing to
go on must be warned that

been known to die by • degrees•.
Any student at least 18 years
of age is welcome, but a word

VOL. I, NO. IV

LAKEHEAD UNIVERSITY, LAKEHEAD ONTARIO

NO.2-UNIVERSITY SCHOOLS

CRISIS FEVER NO.1 -USA
South Dakota senator, and
Kennedy man, George McGovern, spoke to a large
enthusiastic gathering at the
Lakehead University Centre
on Friday, November 18.
Condemning what he called
•a crisis fever" now in the
United States, McGovern
suggested that his country
be . willing to accept that
every overthrow of a national
government in some part of
the world did not constitute
a major problem for the U.S.
McGovern proposed that
the United States be willing
to extend such programs
such as Food For Peace.
He suggested that an American Foreign Policy of domestic aid, rather than military, would be far more appealing to world nations.
In an ARGUS interview
afterwards,
the senator
stated that he thought that
the draft in the United States
could be substituted by a
volunteer
system which
could be found operating successfully in most countries.
Shortly after his speech
Senator McGovern agreed to
an interview with the ARGUS.
QUESTION: Do you ~onsider
President Johnson a handicap to you as a Democrat?
ANSWER:
The President
seems to be losing a lot of
his popularity. Recent polls
show this drop in presidential popularity prior to the
November 8 election. So in
that sense, the President's
skidding in popularity does
serve as a problem for those
of us who are running on the
Democratic ticket.
QUESTION: Do Americans

• ... Replace the Draft.'

seem to be jumping potty
lines in order to vote for
liberal or conservative candidates?
ANSWER: The tendency for
the American public in 1964
and 1966 to vote for the man
rather than the party was
apparent. They tend to
support moderate but somewhat forward-looking liberal
candidates. It seems to be
a tendency to stay middle
of the road rather than either
on the left or on the right.
QUESTION: Should Canada
allow Draft Dodgers to
enter?
ANSWER:
This seems a
matter for the Canadian government to resolve, so I
wouldn't like to give a
comment. There is a better
way for Americans to show
their honest dissent on
the war than in going to

Canada.
QUESTION:
What do you
think of student demonstrations against the war in Vietnam?
ANSWER: These protests
are healthy and are part of
the tradition of free expression. Those who state that
dissenters should be drafted
because of their protests
are in effect saying we
ought to impose a moritoriam on freedom and on conscience. I think it would be
a tragedy for us to fight
so blindly for freedom in
Vietnam then lose it in the
U.S.
QUESTION: Should the draft
be dropped?
ANSWER: I have hoped for
a number of years to replace
the draft by a volunteer system
by upgrading the
rewards, remunerations and
the attractiveness of military life. We could probably
recruit enough people on a
voluntary basis to meet our
defence needs without the
draft.
QUESTION: Is the Unamerican Activities Committee
constitutional?
ANSWER: The Unamerican
Activites Committee has
frequently exceeded the jurisdiction of a congressional
committee. The UAC has
seemed to frequently follow
the role of a judge and prosecutor. This is a function
for the courts, not for a
congressional
committee.
This particular congressional group has exceeded
the propriety if not the parliamentary jurisdiction of a
congressional committee.

The introductory meeting
of the newly-formed Board
of Governors forNorthWestern Ontario's College of
Applied Arts and Technology
was held November 17 at
the Nor-Shore Motor Hotel.
The ensuing fate of Lakehead University's University
Schools Division was not discussed according to L.U.
Dean of Science, Hart, who
is one of the new governors.
The potential crisis for
our technology students is
contained the College Act
which makes provision for
courses now offered at L.U.
This would mean that all
University Schools' students

bands, court costs, pay for
the Chief Magistrate and for
the Chief Constable. Several
minor, insignificant questions arise from this break..
down. For instance, what
are court costs? Do the jobs,
trying as they are, actually
wa.rrant the remuneration
received by the individuals
concerned? From the records, the proctors receive
$1.25 an hour, plus free admission to all University
events at which they are on
duty. A further question logically follows. Does the University actually need to
spend this much on aprivate
police force? It might be
added that the proctor force
is the only suchorganization
on campus that receives any
pay at all. Is this drain on
AMS funds as necessary as
it is made out to be? And

with respect to the salary
allotments for the Chief Justice and his assistants, was
it kept in mind that the Judicial Committee saw no
action last year?
Another gem on the budget
comes under the heading of
anticipated revenue. The
AMS is preparing to sell
calendars in the next few
weeks. The price of these
calendars is $1.00. Hopefully the AMS budgeted for
a realization of $1650, or a
sale of 3500 of these items.
Where are the 3500 people
who want to pay a dollar
for the privilege of telling
the day of the week from a
beautifully illustrated Lakehead U. calendar? Assuming
that every full-time and
part-time student buys one,
1700 will remain unsold. The
loss of expected revenue will

woul~ be forced to pursue
their studies at the new college.
Dr. Hart also stated that
the College need not be established in one permanent
building but is more likely •
to be distributed in several
throughout the region. It is
expected that courses will
begin in two areas--Fort
Francis-Kenora and the
Lakehead.
The Board will be required
to select a name for the new
College before receiving its
charter. Two recently chartered Colleges received the
names Mowhawk and Algonquin. What's next, Ojibway?

'67 YEARBOOK-$2.50
The '67Nor'Westerwillbe
the biggest yearbook ever
published at Lakehead University. Gerry Hashiguchi,
editor, reports that the book
will contain 160 pages, an
increase of 48 pages over
last year. This increase was
needed to give better coverage of the student body and
their activities for the year.
New features being introduced are: a three (3) colour
embossed hard cover, a 16
page colour introduction,
colour coverage of the
Winter Carnival. A full colour photograph, still a secret, will be used for a colour
liner.
•
Due to an increase in the
yearbook budget this year,
the books will have to -be
sold to undergraduate students who want them. The
cost will be about $2.50 to
the student. The A.M.S. fees
will be used to subsidise the

WHERE DID Al.I. THE MONEY GO?
One of the highlights of the
A.M.S. budget is the Science
Society&gt; s breaking even.
This contrasts ratherfavorably with the Arts Society&gt; s
$1740 deficit. The University
Schools' Society had to settle
for a mere $860. The University Schools loses $1.40
per student while Arts
manages to lose $4.30 a
student. Aren't the poor deprived Science students
worth losing money on? Why
i s there such a difference
between the per capita
losses?
Our illustrious proctors,
those gentlemen on the prowl
at every Universityfunction,
are expected to spend $1507.
All but $400 is to be usedfor
salaries. Of this remaining
amount , $250 has been set
aside for operating expenses. This includes arm-

WHAT HAPPENED?
The Science dinner dance debacle indicated to us that
the A.M.S. entertainment committee should immediately
re-explore its priorities.
After much sound planning, advertising and decoration
the dinner dance found itself competing with a varsity
hockey game and several private parties. The fact that
only about twenty tickets were sold is sound proof
that the average student prefers to get drunk informally
and inexpensively.
Past dinner dances have attracted three to four hundred people, about two hundred of whom were students.
This left the vast majority without a university social
event to attend during the weekend. On the evening of
October 12 there was finally a choice. Most chose the game.
Additionally, most students can't afford a 50 cent
drink after admission and transportation expenses. The
Lakehead University social calendar may be very impressive, worthy of a much larger institution, but it
seems to cater almost exclusively to the minority with
cars and cash.
We believe that the entertainment committee should
.concern itself more with activities which have a wider
appeal. Frequent informal dances with local bands would
be as much appreciated by the average student as thousand dollar weekend •extravaganzas".

NO DISCOUNT SON !

O.K.
So everybody's proud he's got a university in town.
Keeps all the kids home. Saves money. Makes good citizens. Good future citizens. Period.
Everybody's happy. Doesn't cost him too much. But
don't let those young weirdos ask for any favours downtown. Against good old capitalism, or something. Besides, they should work like their fathers; like three
cords a day or something. Make them earn everything.
Earn it, son.
So all the young L.U. hippies unable to get their discount downtown. Bad for the profits or something.
Downtown Business Association say no go, son. No
discount. The nurses abuse us with their discount. Can't
get hurt anyway. Where else can the hippies go? Where
else?
DBA says no. Everyone says no. Can't go against the
pack, son. Nothing like a democracy, though, son. Why
do you protest, son?
Everyone says no; except one.
Thank you, Mr. Cooper.

NO MATTER WHAT
THE BIAS

The ARGUS has been regularly accused of biased reportage and irresponsible editorial policy. The most
deserving criticisms have been printed, including the
letter to the editor from the Jaycee's which appears on
page three of this edition.
Such criticism is valid if the traditional concepts of
journalism apply to a bi-weekly University magazine.
However, the ARGUS chooses to reject these concepts
for purposes of raising a little (.. **).
If we undertook to present straightforward coverage of
University news we could neither attract readers, nor,
provoke interest.
It might also be added that this University does not
generate a great deal of news.
The ARGUS will print the most blatantly prejudicial
reports on absolutely anything which we deem of interest
to our readers. We feel no pressing responsibility to
defend this policy, but must assert that no copy will
be rejected for reasons of biased content, no matter what
the slant.
We are University students here, and should be able
to ~ecide for ourselves what is right and what is wrong.
We should be exposed to all shades of opinion and have
opportunity to make our individual opinions known through
a student publication.
If one wants reasonably unslanted news one might attempt
to conciliate the Chicago Tribune with Izvestia.

ROD PHILLIPS

On November II, Southern Rhodesia celebrated one year of illegal independence
--on November 11, 1965, U.D.I. was declared.
The failure to crush this racist-governed
state is disappointing to say the least,
and much of the blame can be placed on
the nations of Africa for their lack of
determination to achieve African unity.
This question of pan-Africanism is of great
importance, as only through unity can the
states of Africa hope to resist effectively
foreign imperialism and the advances of
Fascism within Africa.
But the problem of pan-Africanism is
a complex one, involving a conflict between an African consciousness and an
African loyalty on the one hand, and concern with, and loyalty for, one individual
African country on the other. In other words
there is a conflict between continentalism
and nationalism.
At present there are thirty-six states
in Africa, their boundaries fixed largely
as a result of the scramble for Africa
in the late nineteenth century. The continent will inevitably drift aprt unless steps
are taken to counter-act this type of organization, for while the development of
each nation means development for Africa
as a whole, each stage in the development
raises a barrier between states. Differences
become consolidated and a national pride,
inimical to an African pride, is developed.
Those who wish to keep Africa weak, wf.ll

(and do) ·exploit these weaknesses and try
to effect disunity, in the hope that panAfricanism will be abandoned.
But if Africa is to be independent of
foreign domination, it must be unified.
And whµe unification is far from impossible, unless measures are taken soon, it
will become all but a lost cause. President Julius Nyerere, of Tanzania, speaking
at the University of Zambia at LU$aka,
outlined the path to African unity thus:
•The first thing for Africa •.• is to determine
that it (unity) shall be done. Determination
that unity shall come must start with a
psychological acceptance of its requirements. But it is not enough for African
states to cooperate in dealing with particular problems. We mustdeliberatelymove
to unity. To the fullest extent possible we
must cooperate in our economic development, our trade, and our economic institutions. We must do this, despite our separate sovereignties although we have to
recognize that there is a limit to the
possibilities of economic integration without
political union. When that point comes, then
we shall either have to stand still--and
this damages our real hopes for Africa-or we shall have to take the plunge into
a merger of our international sovereignties.•
This plunge will have to be taken if
tragedies such as those in Southern Rhodesia and Ghana are to be prevented in
the future.

NATIONAL AFFAIRS

CANADIAN QlJANDRY

JACILBNOM
The present debate over a monarchy
versus a republic for Canada's future has
become a false issue. The factions resemble
a team of oxen when confronted by an obstruction; they decide on opposite directions
of bypassing the obstacle. The direction
becomes the issue in a tug-of-war and the
work load is forgotten.
At one extreme, there are those who
rationalize their advocation and loyalty to
the crown because it is a symbol and ancient
institution that must be retained. By this
sentimentality, the only other alternative,
that of becoming part of the U.S.A., is
undesirable. At the other extreme is the
continental faction, adherring to the theory
that it is in Canada's best interests to
abolish the monarchy and become a satellite or a constitutional part of the U.S.
These extreme points of view are irrelevant and are evading the more practical
and basic issue: Canadian independence.
While we have almost complete independence from Britain except for the acknowledgement of the crown to preserve our
constitutional parliamentary institutions we
are at the same time, an economic appendage
of our immediate neighbour.
To avoid new extremities, let us clarify
that while economic independence is desirable, it is impractical to assert that
we must do away with all foreign investment. It is a fact, however, that a nation•s
policies are based on its economy, and in
this light we must be cognizant of the fact
that American international firms are the
instruments of Washington's foreignpolicy.
The percentage of American ownership
in Canadian enterprise, manufacturing.

mining and oil, gas and petroleum products
far exceeds 50%. Under such conditions
ours is a self-imposed colonial status.
It would presently appear that our inability
(not disability) to develop our own national
resources, is a national resource for the
Am,3rican investors.
The argument that the profits a foreign
developer receives are only the prices we
pay to his experience does not condone our
dependence on him. It should be possible
to gain the capital and the advanced,i\merican technology by other tolerable means
rather than the unlimited direct investment
and the consequent ownership. My submission is three-fold:
1. The need and the subsequent endeavour to lessen American ownership is not anti-American.
2. The quest for Canadian economic
independence must not be the advocation of false pride. culminatingin malicious ultranationalism.
3. To reduce and limit foreign ownership is to gain economic independence. This is a necessity for greater
flixibility and impartiality of policies
in world affairs. No one can deny the
invaluable role which Canada has.
played as a mediator among hostile
countries. There is no roomforforeign intimidation in Canada's role in
international affairs.
The issue then should be predicated on
developing Canada., as an independent nation
able to determine its future through the
stability of a Canadianized economy. This is
the work load that the two factions are
forgetting.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Dear Mr. Marks:
I wish at this time to compliment you
and all other students connected with 1,our
new and very interesting publication The
Argus•.
I have read with interest in your October 28th edition a column written by
Don Colborne, in particular his reference
to the fact that students at the Lakehead
University do not have the privilege of
discounts in retail stores.
We at the Lakehead have been most
pleased and astonished by the rapid growth
of the university and we suddenly realize
that we are now part of a •university
City". Because this is a new situation
for the citizens and business concerns we
are naturally not aware of privileges connected with Universities in other centers

which I believe accounts for the fact that
students do not obtain a discount.
Now that this information has been brought
to my attention I would be most happy
to extend a 10% discount to all students
male and female, in view of the recent
opening of our men's furnishings department, on all purchases they make at any
time with the exception of items on sale.
Naturally all students requesting a discount must present a valid students' card
from the University. I am sure that the
necessary notification to all students will
be handled by your publication.
Yours truly,
COOPER'S
Paul S. Cooper

CAGERS LEAD LEAGUE
by Larry Hebert

The Lakehead U.Nor'Westers have now played each
team in the Senior Men's
basketball league once. This
puts L.U. in the first place
with a 3 - 1 record, having
defeated Dinty' s, Rembers
and Videon while going down
to defeat to Clarkes. The
team has not played up to
par so far but Coach Bristowe feels that this is only
because of lack of experience. One of the brighter points is the emergence
of rookie Don Hornstrom as
the team's scoring leader.

He is {lVeraging 20 points
per game. Another positive
factor is the hustling defensive play of George Kostyshyn and his excellent ball
handling.
Coach Bristowe has been
working hard to find the
right combination of starters. Practices have been
stepped up lately so that
the team will be in top shape
for its first intercollegiate
test of the season in Sudbury on the 25th and 26th
of this month.

Full cup of youth's bright innocence,

My stricken mind could not but speculate
What stone is time to such a heartless blade,
And tremble at the thought that someday I,
Might in my weakness seekafencerow's

This Property Is

BY WILLIAM SHERIDAN

Alluring is the word for beautiful Natalie
Wood, whostarsasAlvainTHIS PROPERTY
IS CONDEMNED.
Alva ts not the first young girl, nor will
she be the last young girl to dream that love
is lovelier, somewhere else.
Alva was
growing up in the only way she knew how.
Alva wanted out in the worst way ... and she
got out in the worst way.
Kate Reid plays Mama Starr. who kept
Alva around to keep men around.
Charles Bronson is J .J .Nichols, Mama• s
favourite boarder ... he would sooner be
Alva's.
I would go on, but I think you get the idea.
This is one of those pictures that attempts
to show that the Depression was not really
so depressing.

We of the technocratic age
of affluence do not seem to
place stress upon •truth and
honesty• (a catch phrase),
that former societies have
seen.
Indeed, a morally
sound businessman, if he
survives the tooth-and-nail
conflict of •money-a-go-go
at all, is considered some..
thing of the fool for not
bending his moral fibre just
a bit and thereby shearing
much more of the financial
wool.
But why must the art world
suffer? Has the premise that
sex sells everything come to
dominate one• s taste in
literature as well as his
choice of cars, hair dressings, or the like? William
Goldman wrote a relatively
100d book, and called it
Your Turn to Curtsy, My
Turn to Bow". No •soldier
in the Rain•, or •Temple of
Gold•, but still a good book.
It tells the story of young
Peter Bell and his experiences as Junior counsellor at Blaclcpine Camp for
Boys. Goldman• s publishers
noticed Peter's three page
long association with Camp
Blackpine' s answer to Fanny
Hill, and dishonestly labelled
the book a •trank and tender
portrait of •.. initiation into
physical love.• •A starkly
revealing story of the yearning and pain of unmarried
love.•
These
moneymaking
words detract from Goldman• s effort to write a truly
•frank and tender• story, because they ignore all the
frank and tender characters
and scenes in the book except

one. Why even poor Chad
Kimberly,
who crucified
hirriself ( a tender undertaking) passed unnoticed.
Read •Your Turn to
Curtsy. My Turn to Bow"
but remember the old warning; don't judge a book by
its cover.

By A. C. Gordon
The "next war," some folks claim,
Will wage in outer space;

Of any better place.

Yuan Sze-chung

Argus Interview

HONG KONG TODAY

by Jeanetly Gall

We spoke to Yuan SzeChung one of the foreign
students from Hong Kong
and the Secretary of the
Chinese Student Association
on campus.
We wondered whether our
intriguing weather conditions, and our snow had
drawn the students to our
campus. When he spoke of
Hong Konl(s 85 degree, airconditioner-requiring cliconditioner-requiring climate and of Canada's invigorating climate, I somehow suspected this was not
the easel
Educational opportunity,
perhaps? Mr. Yuan felt that
this might be one reason •
The greatest problem China
must face today i s overpopulation and therefore, in
Mr. Yuan's own words, the
problem of •too many students and too few vacancies
in the Universities.• He
noted that Hong Kong with
four million people has two
Universities.
In China, it is the scholastic ability rather than the
financial capability of the
student that decides who has
the right to further his or
her education. Chinese students must, after their high
school education, attend the
sixth form for two years,
write the required examinations and hope that they can
meet the academic qualifications of one of their universities. There is a slim
chance for students who must
work for one or two years
following their high school
education. They must study
either at home or in the
form for one year, and then
write the examination.
Mr. Yuan mentioned that
the Canadian immigration
office in Hong Kong has been
most helpful to Chinese stu-

dents in providing information on Canadian Universities.
We discussed the moral
consciousness of the Chinese
University student. Traditional views, Mr. Yuan suggested, form the basis of
their morality.
In regards to pre-marital
relations, he therefore felt
that ~e concept of marriage
is of great importance to
the Chinese girl. Westerners
inclusive of Canadians, seem
to be more frank, more open
along these lines.
Asked then whether religion was of prime importance in decisions and
discussions in China, Mr.
Yuan felt that religion was
of importance to the Chinese
but on an individual level.
Speaking on the lighter
side of social life •.•the great
question of liquor restrictions came up. Hong Kong,
has no restrictive liquor age.
In fact, it would not even
seem strange to see a child
of seven or eight purchasing
a bottle , of whiskey ... if he
could afford itl
Mr. Yuan felt that in Hong
Kong, there is less extensive
drinking because of this freedom. Perhaps Canada would
do well to investigate this
situation. He felt that while
for a time there would be an
increase, in time a decrease
would come.
In discussing the political
situation in China today, Mr.
Yuan preferred to speak generally. Canadians are misinformed about China today
and in his opinion, it would
be better for him in a future
edition of Argus to explain
this situation in his own
terms.
He did, however, comment
lightly on Hong Kong, saying
it was a British colony with

THURBER

CARNIVAi.

JAMES THURBER lets ua
believe ~at life is no mere
supermart or circumstance.
It is, rather, that the individual by his own initiative
prevents this tired old globe
from dyin~ of boredom. If
this is man s function, Thurber knows those who are totally unaware of it and those
who are obsessed by it. The
Thurber eye is quicker than
most, enabling him time and
again to catch society with
its pants down. But Thurber
leaves generalities to the
computers and looks at one
personality at a time. As a
result we meet a soul like
Walter Mitty to whom the
world has a population of
one.
As all Thurber characters
are, Mitty is a human specialization. It is of the detailed
incidents in the lives of ThUPber's people that 'A Thurber
Cal'J).ival' is composed. Patterned as a comedy revue,

revelations such as: The
Night the Bed Fell, The Unicorn in the Garden, The
Macbeth Murder Mystery,
and Mr. Preble Gets Rid of
His Wife.
In bringing his people to
the stage, Thurber promises
a carnival, indeed, a circus
of energy, colour, music, and
movement. Imagine the demands of timing and reflex
made on the performers of
a live television skit, who
function through incidents
derived from their own personalities. You will glimpse
what is required of a performer for 'A Thurber Carnival'.
We extend full invitation
to the students of Lakehead
University to our casting
sessions. Please see our add

THE PARKING LOT
A recurring beef among students is the student's parking
lot. We all know the dangers of this muck-hole in the spring
and fall. Not only is it in a constant state of submergence,
but it seems to attract the moisture from a mile around on
drv davs. Lakehead students make good ballet dancers as
they piro~tte from one dry spot to another, 10 feet away.
In winter, the moisture freezes into a substance called ice,
which makes the cars do the ballet. Swan Lake has nothing
on the perlormance of students' cars hitting sheet ice as
they turn into the parking lot, spinning around and around,
and making their finale by crashing into a snowbank in a
flurry of snow. Someinaybreakallrecords soon by ending
up on or in the McIntyre River. Students, a little green
around the gills from this space-age flying. are determined
not to be undone by their machines. They out-perform the
Red Army Dancers as they movewithfeetand arms flying,
to the cafeteria.
There is not much hope for improvement in the future
because the administration is constructing a new building
on the spot. These browned-off beefs are just for the
future. The new parking lot should be paved so that we
don't all ¥Ve to wear hip-waders or crampons to school.
Not that I m a snob, (foresters!) but they just aon't seem
to go with my new suit from Andrew Coffey's.
Some of the students brought me in a puzzle which I
hope one of the Math Department or someone might solve.
The other day car A moved into a position, two spaces
north and one space west of car B in the parking lot.
Upon returning. the driver of car A found the situation
something like this:
A few problems arose when the owner of car A wanted to
move his car. Using his total accumwation 6f deductive
and analytic reasoning. he could come up with no better
solutions than either physically moving them, running
around the buildings shouting licence numbers, (you know
how weird this would look), or depending on Divine Providence to step in and pluck his car from the midst of
this Chinese riddle. He decided on thefirst approach, and
all 100 pounds and five feet of him moved three cars. The
blue tone of the ice was matched by the tone of Don• s
(oops) blue words, as he made his way out of the car lot.
A word of wan1ing. this student carries plastic explosives
to clear his path in the future.
A combination of the climatic conditions and drivers like
Driver D make driving to school quite an adventure. L.U.
drivers are either the most patient, capable drivers or
else someone is pounding out a lot of dents on the sly. I
venture to that lot very infrequently, only on Friday nights
at the dances, when few cars are runningbecause something
else is.

Hustler's
Handbook·

The staff of the ARGUS has in the past
been admonished for printing nothing but
criticism. This survey was taken solely
among students on campus who have received their Ontario Student's Aid Program
loans, and from whom this writer could
gain material with which to write in favour
of P.O.S.A.P. The results are a switch
from the usual comment on Mr. Davis's
plan - while not wildly in favour of it, the
students interviewed seldom were so disgusted as to send their checks back in
frustration.
RICHARD THEDE - FORESTRY TECH . I

•My loan took about a month - maybe
a little more - to come in. I think that
it is a pretty good deal. From my own
point of view, the plan is a good one, but
maybe that is only because I got as much
as I did. The best thing so far as I can
see is the fact that they give you about
one-third of the loan, sort of like a bursary.
As for all the adverse opinions that seem
to be around, there must be something in
the application that the Government looks
at that makes them decide who to give the
money to and who to refuse. Like I said,
from my point of view, it's a good plan.
I've got no beefs against it.•
JORMA HALONEN - SCIENCE I

•My loan came through in about five
weeks. It wasn't as much as I had hoped
for, and so it won't be enough. I think that
the time that it takes to be processed in
Toronto is too long. The waiting period is
full of suspense and nail-biting. I also
feel that they cannot do a f;tir analysis
from what is included on those lists. To
get a really just indication of a student's
needs, you have to have some personal
contact with the individual concerned. Maybe if they sent out representatives to each
individual University or area they could get
better ideas of the needs of each applicant.
Also that question on parental ability to
support students at University is no good.
If further considerations . were taken, then
it would have some bearing but not in its
present isolated spot.•

asked about the other sources from which
I could get money to pay for tuition, books
and residence. It sure was good for me,
but I guess that I'm just one of the lucky
ones. I really feel sorry for those kids
who didn't get as much as they needed."
TERRY NOBLE - FORESTRY TECH. I

•r didn't apply through the University
to get my student loan, so it took three
months to come. The amount which they
allot you for the term before Christmas
is the smaller part of the entire loan and
as far as my own needs go this is not
enough - in fact I might not even make it
into the next month. Really, though, I
guess I've got nothing against it, But I
think that they should either give you the
money in one lump sum, or give you the
larger half in the first term. instead of
waiting for the second half, after you've
starved to death. I just know that what I
got for before Christmas should have been
for before December.

•it took my loan two months to reach me.

CALENDARS HERE

By now, most of the students hav'e received their
precious copies of the •Hustler's Handbook"', alias the
Contact. This little gem was
supplied to us courtesy of the
A.M.S. -- $614. to be exact.
Thanks are extended to
volunteer editor, Joe Danis,
who put forth a tremendous
effort to make it a success.
We would also like to thank
Lehto Printers, the girls in
the General Office, and all
students who helped assemble and distribute them.
You'll find this book extremely useful in both social
and academic emergencies
-- So use itl Get out there
and HUSTLE!

And what a letdown. It is definitely not
enough, so I must now find another source
of making money. I guess my assessment
was as fair as could be expected, though.
I know some others got a really rough
deal. Mind you I could have certainly used
a little more, but the state of things is not
so bad that I won't be able to get through
my year. I can get a loan from my father
if necessary, but then I will be right back
where I didn't want to be - in debt to my
parents.
I think that the government
should really look into this program. It
needs more time and attention on the part
of the department to be really successful.
It took too long. also. It seems to me that
the computation methods are based on

THE EXECUTIVE

A HEW MEMBER

FORESTERS UNITE! JOIN L.U.FJ.
Believe i t or not, those
well groomed • gentlemen•
you see above are •uncouth•
forestry students. Contrary
to the belief that a certain
• stripper• would turn us into
a •reformed school choir•
we set aside a day .to attire
ourselves in the best manner
for our "mug" shots, nothing
criminal though.
In form the foresters are
finally doing something concrete. Under the directionof
the second year foresters a
sub-organization
of the
A.M.S. to be known as the
Lakehead University Forestry
Organization
was
formed.
L.U.F.A. was formed to
unite
all the forestry
students in order to •promote and maintain co-

operative relationships among various phases of the
government and forest industries." Membership is
available to all present students of the school of forestry and past graduates for
a nominal fee.
The association willprovide informative talks and
films for its members, features which will acquaint
them with all possible opportunities a vailabie in forestry.
At one of the meetings,
Mr. Dave Roden related his
experiences as a naturalist
in Quetico Park. A very experienced speaker, Dave
gave an enlightening talk;
his many slides added much
to his very interestingtopic.
A newsletter will be published at regular intervals to

keep L.U.F .A. members informed of the organization's
activities and of new technical advances in the forest
industry. The first of these
was published a few days
before the Conference on
Wood Measurement which
was held at Lakehead University from Nov. 7 to Nov.
10th. This first publication
introduced L.U.F .A. to the
individuals present and outlined its purposes and objectives.
•To scale or not to scale•
that was the question put to
the foresters at the Conference. Through theworkof
the L.U.F .A. executive, the
forestry
students
were
allowed to sit in on the lectures and attend a sit-down
dinner at which Doug Dubray,

Disparagers of the Bulletin Boards take heart! In
an interview with Claude
Smith, this reporter was told
that an extensive public address system for the University Centre is definitely
in the works. A comprehensive system is planned with
the speakers in the cafeteria, great hall, games
room, and senior longue.
Microphone jacks will be
installed in each of these
- locations except the senior
lounge. In conjunction with
the system there will be a
console housing, a tape desk,
record player, and probably
an AM-FM radio.
Thus, instead of garbled
conversation at lunchtime,

we can all listen to soft
background
music- (the
choice of which will undoubtedly be the source of much
discussion)-but most important will be the broadcasting
of news at the school, and
information concerning functions at the University, in
contrast to the present hitor-miss system utilized by
the bulletin boards.
The only drawback to this
whole story is that a completion date is uncertain,
Existing equipment, because
it was a gift to the University, should be integrated
if possible but the equipment would seem to be best
utilized elsewhere. The entire system should be com-

asking for one was passed
unanimously.

Port Arthur

With the aim of pleasing all
its members, the Chemistry
Club has tried to provide a
varied and interesting agenda. During the first few
meetings, it was decided that
most activities would involve
lectures from University
personnel and other local
dignitaries, tours to industrial plants around the
Lakehead, films on assorted
scientific subjects, and any
experiments that students
might wish to conduct in the
laboratory.
So far we have had lectures
from Dr. Hawton, Dr. Orr,
and Mr. Blascke, chief
chemist of Doran' s from
Sudbury, a tour of (slurp!)
Doran's itself, and a showing
of two films. Students have
also been conducting experiments of a personal interest in the labs. There yet
remains in the planning one
more tour, to Mc Kellar Hospital. In the New Year, more
emphasls will be placed on
tours and lectures.
I repeat: any students who
are interested in any part
or parts of the proposed programme are welcome to attend. This invitation extends
to those in other faculties
as well as Science.

Sze-Chung Yuan(HongKong):
Much of the Chinese population has been affected by the
British occupation of over
a century, so that it is almost natural that they have
adopted the pleasant holiday
of Christmas, even though
it has little religious meaning. Schools get out around

their gardens and bring them
into their homes at Chr1Bt-

mas to provide the traditional atmosphere for the
exchange of gifts.
However, if it's a real
Chinese
festival you' re
after, that wouldbetheChinese New Year -- the biggest
and most exciting of the
annual celebrations. Shops
close, factories shut down,
and everyone goes home for
several days to visit old
friends and relatives. The
New Year's Eve dinner is
spectacular and these days
is much varied, as the great
inflow of refugees to Hong
Kong has brought many different types of language,
customs, and cuisine to this
. city, depending on what part,
of the China mainland the
refugees
are originally
from. Most prevalent cuisines are the Cantonese and
Shanghai, with some from
Northern China. The New
Year will be near the first
of February in 1967 (based
on the Lunar Calendar) and
at that time we will say
farewell to the Year of the
Horse (1966) and welcome in
the Year of the Goat --19671.

�THE LOG OF YULE
It's a legend old that tells of the Log of Yule
As 'twas dragged from the forest, in days of old,
Wayfarers bowed; in reverence, hats were tipped.
Here was a log in whose flames old wrongs
Were consumed, forgiven, yea forgotten.
Old hopes were fulfilled, new friendships begotten
As man in humble endeavour sought to better
Relations with his fellow-humans so imperfect.
Ah, lights aglitter in gay decor
Once more the fruits of happiness we savour;
But man, the paradox of creation, gives
Joy and disillusionment, happiness and disappointment,
Attempts to whisper love, but howls hatred,
Advocates in his relationships a harmony sacred,
Strives to maintain a friendship
And in the struggle his intention fouls.
It was a person wise and experienced who counselled
•No human is worth it to upset you. Never give one the
triumph!"
The counsel's truth is almost inconceivable,
Disgust and rashness is almost feasible,
As deceptions and indiscretions abound
Joys and spirits are almost aground,
But hark, I hear the sled on fresh snow .... ,
'Tis the Log of Yule -- I raise my hat and bow.
--Fred Kelly

BROWNED OFF
Lakehead University students regard this column
with interest or disinterest,
depending upon whether their
personal beefs are voiced or
not.
They have come to
accept the Browned Off column as a forum for my own
personal peeves. I assure
them that this is true and I
also assure them that little
is holy, including them.
The clamour generated by
loud and happy mobs in the
cafeteria is enough to gladden the hearts of our overly
protective parents. Now. the
parents say junior is associating with all these intelligent people in UJ}iversity.
Now junior is learnin-g how
to get along with the better
rungs of society; he is getting an education by talking
to all these people from different lands and cultures;
he is broadening his sphere
so that he can be one of
the leaders of the community, and he is probably
discussing new and challenging theories to combat the
problems of the world.
Hal
On close examination of
the situation I find that the
parents have unknowingly
overestimated the poignancy
of junior's conversation. A
recent poll showed that out
of 5 tables (all male) in
the cafeteria, the subject of
such excited exclamation
was not intellectual or scientific, but rather 70% were
discussing the rate of rise of
a short skirt seated at a distant table, 28% were recounting every moment of the
euphoria achieved at the
Crest last night, and 2%
were staring into space and
probably contemplating suicide because they were not
interested in either. Just by
watching the sixth table, I
was able to predict the discourse. It probably went
something like this: • .... .
six spades ..... doubled ....... .
redoubled ......tripled .....•....
retripled ....... quartered•.....
etc.•
Anyone who does try to
stimulate any conversation
on above this mundane level
is branded as a nut. In an
attempt with one group to
promote the old habit of
actually saying something
when the mouth is opened,
we covered a full spectrum
of topics from religion to
water pollution in 5 minutes
and 3 hours uninformedly
discussing sex and its
perversions. Interesting as
it was, I could not help
but feel that sex had become
an act necessary only for

Cotl"i£.,N~•·-v,r. .. ,"9-vO T,,,p;,c~- 1.---"7' .. _
r,.,r.:,· P-9~~-~,-;,e,,r .

future expositions to be related to others, not the dilemma or farce it was supposed to be. One chap told
the group that he was a
virgin, and everyone slowly
ostracized him o one end
of the table. He had broken
a major unwritten law, in
that even if one has never
had sex,
one is never
expected to admit it, and
must fake it. Honesty isn't
always the best policy at all
times in the cafeteria.
The
average
student
doesn't mix with any rungs
of the social ladder except
his own. Students from the
Lakehead sit with all the kids
they knew in PACI or Selkirk, and few mix. Students
from •out of town• mix with
other from •out of town•.
One firend from Toronto was
very happy at the end of
October, and
I asked
him why. He said the reason
for the state of well-being is
that he met another student
who actually lived in the
Lakehead. There is little
mixing with those students
from Hong KongorTrinidad,
and even so it is usually in
some official capacity and
not one of cultural exchange.
If junior expects to be one
of the leaders of the community, he had better apply
at another institution. It is
virtually impossible to get
much organized because of
the apathy of our esteemed
student body. Check the figures on the A.M.S. council
voting. There are about ten
people here who try to organize meetings, groups, or

-~L~

clubs to further interest in
areas that are supposed to be
the domain of the undergraduates of universities. The
programs, more times than
not, are flops, and the organizers are passed off as pushy
types. The ten are usually
involved in everything in the
whole place anyway. Check
most of the clubs on campus
and you'll find a duplicity
of membership.
Little or no theory comes
from the lecture rooms into
the cafeteria. Post-lecture
analysis indudes a description of Dr. X, (fat and fifty),
or Dr. Y, (smokes and shouts
a lot), as well as any current
off-cour remarks made be
either. When questioned on
the actual subject itself, an
ambiguous mumbling (....
some Greek wrote this play
about some guy in love with
his mother ...or was it his
father?) meanders down a
list of names and dates. Any
relation of theory presented
in the lecture rooms and the
daily routine of our E&amp; Verage
student is purely accidental
and, upon correction, is
readily mended.
I don't see much change
of this pattern in the future.
It was the same last year.
Maybe it is an indication of
a new rebellion against the
old concepts. The adult society expects a lot from us,
especially those of us in
university. Open your mouth
and spill out•..... GARBAGE.
Go into society and do your
job .....• GARBAGE.

CIIRWDIAS STORY
Reprinted from THE MUSE, Memorial University, St.
John's, Newfoundland.
He stood, absurd in his nakedness,
Among the gaunt trees
And touched the breast of his daughter.
She bowed her silent, lovely head
And when darkness came it was over.
Words of light shafted through the blackness
And her exaltation was complete.
They walked to her bed in the cold night. -He walked back to the dark wood
And in the black night he built a great fire
And burned himself in it.
From the valley around they came
And stared at the bright flame
Wondering, afraid.
In the cold. cold first month of winter
She bore him a son.

ART SHOW. PEAK INCORPORATES
From January 17 to February 16 there will be an
exhibition in the senior lounge of paintings by the German
anist Kathe Kollwitz.
The exhibition, from the
Winnipeg Gallery, consists
of 20 original etchings and
lithographs, and illustrates
the artist's concern with people and truth. She expresses
tremendous sympathy with
the poor and the suffering.

and thus the drawings are
sensitive and moving.
No student serious in his
interest in the arts should
miss this exhibition.

BURNABY
(CUP)--The
Peak, student newspaper at
Simon Fraser University,
became the first Canadian
campus newspaper to receive legal recognition when
it was incorporated recently
as a society.
The new society must publish annually, and submit
complete financial records,
and a comprehensive report
al society affairs io tbe

gistrar of societies.
The Peak can also be sued
under the Societies Act of
British Columbia.

Bob Campbell, the local
Canadian Union of Students
chairman has submitted his
resignation to the A.M.S.
He explained in a letter
read at the last regular
meeting that acadmeic pressure had forced him to make
the decision and expressed
his regrets to council.
The A.M.S. executive, in
consultation with Mr. Campbell will appoint a successor
as Chairman of the local
CUS committee. Campbell
will be suggesting Gwen S
and Barb Coghlan who have
volunteered to take over the
position jointly.
Mr. Campbell has had no
word as to how the honoraria which accompanies the
position will be divided between himself and his successor.
In an interview with the
ARGUS Mr. Campbell outlined the responsibilities of
the position for the information of other students who
might be interestedinapplying for the job. He pointed
out that CUS was a new
thing at Lakehead as this
university joined only in 1966
and that in his months as

He further stated that· in
its first year CUS has been
fairly successful in terms
of increased student awareness of just what the organization is and what it is doing
for the Canadian student.
He feels that the provincial
and national offices have
been very interested and satisfied with the pregress
here.
On the question of the union's troubles on the national level Mr. Campbell believes personally that the
organization should have
stayed out of politics and
disagrees, at least in part,
with many of the stands which
his headquarters has taken.
W1th reference to the upcoming
Ontario regional
conference to be held here
Bob said only that he had
offered to help.

MODEL PARLIAMENT

This year the political clubs on campus are cooperating in holding the first Model Parliament on the
Lakehead campus. In order to achieve success these
groups are now opening ~ publicity c~paign. t.o ac(luam~

L.U. NOW IN SECOND PLACEBY PETER YOUNG
The Lakehead University Nor'Westers
were dropped into second place in the
International Collegiate Hockey Association
last weekend as first place Bemidji State
Beavers handed them 5-3 and 6-5 defeats.
Nor'Wester coach Henry Ackervall still
feels the L.U. team is superior to the
Arthur will have an effect on the outcome of the return matches in the Lakehead. At Bemidji the ice surface is outside and visiting teams find it ,h ard to
adjust to the wind, sun, snow and temperature conditions.
In the first encounter the Nor'Westers
were outshot 34-27 and took four of the
five penalties. The score was tied 2-2
after one period and the Beavers held a 3-2
edge after two. Dennis Olinik, Dwight Surrett, and Murray Smith were the Lakehead marksmen. Olinik scored on a pass
from John Stefiszyn, Surrett connected from

portant of these has been that
of coordinating the student
discount campaign which has
been partially successful to
this time. The new chairman will have to actively
publicize
this campaign
among both the students and
local merchants. Mr.CamPbell had also been working
on a program of high schbol
visitations where students
and faculty would visit secondary schools carrying the
good word about university
life. He had also been promoting plans for student exchanges whereby students
enrolled here would take a
year at another university
which would in turn send one
of its students to Lakehead.
The CUS nationalprogramof
student travel is also coordinated by the campus office.

Smith and Dave Siciliano and Smith rounded
out scoring from Lorne Gander.
Nor'Westers held a 4-1 edge going into
the final period in game number two but
the Beavers 'p umped home five third period
goals.
Murray Smith notched the first two L.U.
goals, the first unassisted and the second
on a pass by Aggie Siciliano. Siciliano
scored the third goal with Clare Battiston and Stirrett drawing assists. Stirrett
completed scoring with the final two markers. Stirrett' s linemates Smith and Siciliano collected assists on the first, with
Siciliano and Battiston aiding the second.
The Nor'Westers travel to St. Cloud
this weekend in hopes of breaking the second place tie with Wisconsin. Wisconsin
moved into the tie with two victories
last weekend over St. Cloud.

Tbe Model ParHament will be held on February- 17,

18, and 19. The week following the Winter Carnival
has been set aside for campaigning and all indications
predict that the campaign will be one of intense activity
with no political punches held. The elections will take
place on February 3. The two major political clubs on
campus, the University Liberals and the N.D. Y. have
been assured of A.M.S. sponsorship and support for the
Model Parliament. It is therefore hoped that the student
body will actively support the Parliament by attending
the political speeches and debates during the campaign
week; and, of utmost importance--casting a ballot on
the election data.
Both the Liberals and N.D.Y. express the wish that
the Conservative students on campus will accept the
challenge and present a number of candidates to stand
in the election. At the same time, those students interested in seating as a Liberal or N.D.P. member in the
Parliament are encouraged to contact:
Liberal-Bryan Springgay 622-2673 (or Argus office)
N.D. Y.-Don Colborne
Argus office
The political parties request full student participation
to make Lakehea.d' s first Model Parliament a success
and provide a basis for future parliaments on campus.
The political groups can set up and hold the Parliament;
its first success is in the hands of the university students.

schedule for both intercollegiate and intramural events for the spring term.

In the recent ARG
rea er po11
results of which will be published next
week), a number (about half a dozen) of
tho§e polled complained tpat the ll!ternational affairs column is too biast (sic),
or 'NDP orientated'. I feel that it is necessary to make perlectly clear my position.
A university newspaper, published weeldy or bi-weekly, cannot print international
news. In this regard, all it could do would
be to publish that which can be found in
the daily press; such repetition would be
purposeless. Instead, in the matter of international affairs, a university paper can
present 'backgrounders' and information
having more than just immediate relevance. The articles, therefore, fall into
two main categories--historical and commentative--both of which are open to interpretation according to the political beliefs of the writer. My articles, such as
they be, express that which I personally
believe to be th~ most correct interpretations of current situations and events
leading up to them. They are personal
opinions, and nothing else, and shall contin ue to be such.

Your Weekly Rag

If you have read last week's issue of the Argus, the
first of the new year, you probably realize that your
newspaper is now a full member of Canadian Universities Press.
And now you are probably asking yourself . . . So
what?
Well luckily for you Mr. and Miss (or Mrs.) Superapathetic Argus reader, because we are a full member,
we have decided that you are g(?ing to receive the Argus,
not twice a month, but once a week. Yes, once a week.
And of course, we will have double the amount of the
usual biased, NOP-orientated, objective articlea you bave
- - - ~ -stated in our scientifically operated Poll you enjoy most
about our little rag.
•
Yes, now that we are a full member of CUP, we will
try harder to please you. 'This tabloid will attempt to
soar towards new horizons' (gag) Yes, we will even
endeavour to cover more University news, like the Circle
K's receiving of two $20 flags, while playing down unimportant trivia such as Vietnam and the Indian Problem.
But now that we are a weekly newspaper, it is imperative that we receive more help from you, the student.
We have had some trouble publishing the semi-monthly.
Now our headaches are doubly compounded. We just need
more staff. (preferably les jeunes femmes) You don't
have to pay dues in order to join. In fact, for the remainder of this term, by means of a special agreement,
you will be able to enter the newspaper ranks, free of
charge. Yes Virginia, free of charge.
If you are worried about (your) marks, don't. Every
staffer of the pre-Christmas Argus, passed the majority
of his exams. (basket-weaving, golf, broomball, psychology)
And the social life of the Argus is tremendous. Where
else can you spend a whole Friday night doing lay-out,
and coming baclc Saturday morning for more.

Letter to the Edttor
Dear Sirs:
Concerning your article on
Fred Flange, I regret to inform you that the mascot as
drawn in the Dec. 9 issue
of ARGUS is definitely and
irrevocably not Fred Flange.
The statue from which this
drawing was taken is called
ZIG ZAKOWITZ and the pieture was so labelled.
Because of last year's Carnival, Fred Flange is now regarded as the Forester's
Mascot; so why should all
faculties be forced to accept him as their mascot.
ZIG ZAKOWITZ is a newl
name that I think would be
readily accepted by everyone. Those who created ZIG
ZAKOWITZ know that he has
a definite identity. But some
narrow-minded,
unfeeling
and conservative regressives considered it better
to distort his identity.
If the cartoon won with the
name ZIG ZAKOWITZ on it,

let it remain so.
Mike Zroback
Investigating the charges
made in this letter, the Argus learned that the character had been submitted as
'Zig Zakowitz' but the Winter Carnival Committee insisted that the character be
named 'Fred Flange', as this
had been the name of the
mascot for the previous Winter Carnival.
The Chairman of the Carnival
Committee,
Julie
Wierzbicki, stated that when
the committee advertised
for entries in the mascot
competition, it had already
been decided that the winner
should be named 'Fred
Flange'. This was not stated
on the advertisements for
the competitions, however.
The official winner, Wayne
Aitken, did not object to the
re-naming of the mascot.

ALICE IN INDONESIA
Fifteen months ago, in September/
October 1965, the world was invited to
believe that a coup had beenplannedagainst
the Indonesian Government headed by Presiden Soekarno. The cout&gt; failed, and in consequence, a reign of terror was • introduced which can only be compared to Nazi
genocide methods. Hundreds ofthousandsof
patritotic Indonesians, labelled as Communists, and of Indonesian citizens of Chinese extraction were murdered in cold

blood. The crowning climax of this vile
campaign was a trial against Dr. Subandrio,
former Foreign Minister, a trial which
also has a Nazi parallel--the phoney Re-

ichstag trial. Subandrio told the court he
had received a letter alleging that the
British and Americans, together with their
Army friends, were planning something against Indonesia. Dr. Subandrio said the
letter was written by Sir Andrew Gilchrist, a former British ambassador.
It was against this conspiracy that the
army colonels waged their unsuccessful
coup on September 30. Another spate of
reports now implicates President Soekarno
in the attempt to protect his own government against the army coup. More and more
pressue is bein§ put on President Soekarno to 'explain or rather denounce the
actions of the colonels of September 30
which were very likely inspired by himself to protect his own government.
The Alice-in-Wonderland situation then
exists where a million people have been
slaughtered under the pretext of having attempted the revolutionary overthrow of President Soekarno when in fact the murderers conspired successfully to overthrow him.
Similarly typical of the upside-down situation is the detention of Malayan and Indonesian fighters of the official 'Crush Malaysia' campaign. First called in by the
official Indonesian Soekarno Government to
give their lives for this particular lost
cause, they are now being detained for
trial by the successor government which
• condemns everything Soekarno did as criminal and nominally condemned former
loyal Government supporters for attacking
that self-same government.
The trial of Dr. Subandrio--who was sentenced to death--was but one of many
put on trial by the Fascist government
now controlling Indonesia. Most of those
on trial are ~wns in the game of 'Kill
the Communist •
It says little for those governments of
the West which decry 'Viet Cong atrocities' that they protested little or not at

all the massacre of a million Indonesians.
Or perhaps it is an illustration of the
widely-held belief that a man should cease
to be regarded a human being when he
becomes a Communist.

BROWNED OFF
By JOHN BROWN

Few experiences can approximate that
of standing at a wind-blown bus stop in
-40 F weather. As time passes into January and February, when the north-west
is a place where nothing moves unless it
has to, fewer buses pass the cold stops,
and fewer reach the University.
Bus service to Lakehead U is, at this
moment, very bad. The Port Arthur Transit people say that most students come
to school in cars, and that it is uneconomical to run buses out after 5:00 pm.
Ideally, the buses run on schedule at 6:15,
6:45, 7:45, 8:15, 8:45, 9:45, 10:45, 11:45,
and 12:45 from St. Paul Street in Port
Arthur. In the afternoon they leave St.
Paul Street at 4:00 and 4:45. I have yet
to catch a bus at its appointed arrival
time. One week ago I caught the bus at
St. Paul Street at 8:45 am, and was handed a pink transfer slip. We were all
abandoned at McBean Street, where we
stood with our pink transfer slips and
blue fingers waiting for another bus to
take us to the University. We arrived
a little frost-bitten, but at least we got
there. Unfortunately this was not the case
some time ago, when I boarded a bus at
12:45 and protesting, I was dumped at
McBean Street. I have been afraid to even
attempt to take buses facing the prospect
of having to walk the extra 3/4 to 1 mile
with a 60 m.p.h. wind screaming over the
cemetary, and freezing solid any area
of my person that I had not covered with
enough padding to keep the average wolverine warm. I am now investigating the possibility of renting trunk spaee with the
car pool groups, as a preferable alternative to purchasing a dog sled (what with
the high cost of dog food).
The possibility of a large group of people
attending classes at 6:30 and 7:00 a.m.
and necessitating bus sertjce at these times

is slight. The only people who do make
these trips are personnel. Since the school
is not open to students until 7:45 no student
would make a bus trip out at this time
unless he intended to study in a snow
bank. The rest of the bus trips, on paper,
are convenient to anyone who has a class
in the morning or early afternoon, andfrom
experience I can attest that they are not
empty. This leaves the student with classes
before 4:00 and after 1:00 on any day at
a disadvantage unless he wishes to devote
three hours here. This also means that
any student must conclude his day's activities before 5:00 p.m., It occurs to me
that I was mistaken in assuming that the
wild look in the eyes of many of our students
was a thwarted desire to take part in student
activities, frustrated because they must
catch the 5:00 p.m. bus.
I have written this at the request of
some of the people in residence, who,
displaying blue frozen feetandfingers, have
sent up a passionate plea in the hopes of
rectifying this situation. At present they are
forced to hitch-hike, breaking the laws of
Port Arthur. Must these people break the
law or freeze their appendages to enjoy
a small evening out?
Fon William is about as easy to get to
as Toronto, though the latter is preferable.
The average residence student would spend
nearly two hours on the trip back and forth
to Fort William. The Fort William Transit
authorities assure . us that the buses are
Port Arthur's problem, as the University
is in Port Arthur. Fort William's loss is
no-one's gain.
A word of hope to all University students.
A proposed dog-train taxi has been organized to downtown Port Arthur and Fort
William by one of our future financiers
with energy to spare. Return fare is one
can of dog food. Bring your own bearskin blanket.

Carnival opens tonight after months of preparation. There are
many different events P,_lanned and everyone will find something to
enjoy in Carnival Week. All Carnival events except the meals and
the Ball require only a Carnival button and an I.D. card for admission. Buttons have been on sale in the cafeteria and will be
available at the door tonight. I.D.'s must be presented when purchasing buttons. For a full-time student or first-year student nurse,
the button price is 75 cents. For all faculty members, staff or part-

time students the price is $1.00. After tonight, all buttons will be
sold at $1.00, and only during the day. No one will be admitted

the judging of the floats,
followed by the judging of the
sculptures, will take place.
We hope that these distinguished guests will leave
with a fitting impression of
the students and the campus.
To date, 17 sculpture entries have been received,
including ones from the faculty, the residence, and the
S.A.S. From all reports, this
year's sculptures have surpassed all others and are a
credit to the ingenuity of the
students and faculty.

'Texas Across the River'
is a fair western. It has
Dean Martin as an antihero cow-wrangler. Now
Martin is a good singer,
and a good supporting actor,
but as the lead he pans out.
The picture• s saving grace
is Joey Bishop as the stonefaced Indian. He delivers
most of the gag punch lines,
and is a real riot.
Hollywood is getting pretty junky though, .when it has
to rely on this as entertainment. Maybe Martin will go
back to T.V., or start demanding worthwhile parts.
I hope so.

Well after the opening few games in the International
Collegiate Hockey Association I for one am convinced
that its going to be a down the line duel between L. U.
Nor•westers and Bemidji State College for the first year
championships.
The Nor'westers proved a lot of things in their openil}g
games against Wisconsin State University with two convincing wins. Murray , Smith. Dave Siciliano, Dwight
Stirrett and Claire Battiston particularily showed well
in that first series. Battiston for one played the best
series I•ve witnessed since the days when he excelled
in Junior hockey. And it was shades of midget days for
Murray Smith as he continually walked by. through,
around and over all Yellowjacket opposition. But Aggie
was the real team work horse that weekend, and defenseman Lorne Gander was not far behind. Siciliano,
time and time again led effective rushes into Yellow
Jacket territory. Despite a broken nose, John Kennedy
seemed to be always in the right place at the right time
and his centre John Stefiszyn could find him every time
he was. John Fallis, though, was the man who impressed
the local spons writers a_nd sports casters. There were
not many Yellow Jackets who stood in his way when he
came barrellinp, down the centre. Of course, would you?
Well Jimmy Mahammid' Pronger seems to be taking
over the teams bad boy position. Keep it up Jim. Every
team has to have a policeman.
It's easy to see that the loss to the team of Lome
Everett, Kule Bishop, -Rick Lampshire, Vic Hendricken
and Lawrence Baxter could effect the superiority of the
team. But John Kennedy and Kieth Prignitz should take
up some of the slack.
.
We've also acquired a new addition to fit between the
goal pipes. He's first year Artsman Allan Johnson who
is certainly no stranger to the campus.
I would say that if we can tighten up our goaltending,
nothing is going to stop the Nor'westers this year.

SCHOLARSHIPS
AND
A BOWL GAME
by Larry Hebert

It looks as if athletic scholarships may be a reality
in Canadian universities by
'September, 1967.
Mr. Ivor Wynne of McMaster University and president
of the Canadian Inter-collegiate Athletic Union will head
a committee which will study
the adoption of athletic scholarships.
Simon Fraser University
is the only institution in
Canada -.!hich gives athletic
scholarsnips but it is not a
member of the C.I.A.U.
Western Canadian Universities seem to be taking
the lead as far as scholarships go, since several
schools in Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia have players
on hockey teams which are

THE ARGUS

SOME OF MY BEST FRIENDS
ARE UNIVERSITY STUDENTS
BY PRO-TEM

As I see it. the ostensible
physical requirements of a
university are a site, buildings. an administration, a
faculty. and lastly a student
body. It is with the quality
of the latter at Lakehead
that I am presently concerned. Since I am an habitue of the Crest, I have
rid myself of any possible
labelling as an abstainer.
I have also attended a larger and more established
university, and felt no
qualms
about
wholeheartedly supporting its
teams with a rousing cheer.
Imagine my horror therefore. while sitting in the
cafeteria on Friday, Jan.
6, when my intelligence, and
the intelligence-of every one

of you was assailed with that
heart-rending line, 'Gooba,
gooba. gooba' from cheer
no. 12 on the Lakehead University Hit Parade. In addition, the assumption inherent in each cheer was
that students attended university with the sole purpose of drinking.
I have a confession to make.
As the seventeen year old
forester quoted in the poll
on alcohol consumption as
drinking to 'keep the economy going', you will appreciate the fact that I can
drink with the best of them .
While I personally have nothing against our cheer-leaders. (how could any forester dislike a girl in a
skirt ~t short?) I must

confess the motives they attribute to my attendance at
university are far from accurate.
Ideally. a group of cheers is
selected as a means of voicing the approval and aspirations a student body feels
for its teams. I would appreciate ,haVing someone
point out to me how this can
be realized when our cheerleaders raise their voices
in unison to shout 'more
beer'. Surely there are one
or two people in this university capable of producing a cheer which is more
to the point than those now
in use. I appeal to you,
pick up your pen and write.

Laeheal Squeaks Double Win
Brlld111 Crushed By L■eheal Pucksters
The Brandon College Caps
basketball
team visited
Lakehead University for two
basketball games over the
week-end and left shaking
their heads in wonderment.
tn the first game, won by
the
Norwesters 66-59,
Brandon pulled up from a ten
point deficit to within one
point with one minute to go
only to have the local boys
score threequickbasketsfor
their margin. Don Holmstrom scored twenty-two
points in a winning effort
followed by Myron Warywoda
with twelve and George Kostyshyn with ten. Lindenberg
was high man for Brandon
with nineteen followed by
Myers and Taylor with
twelve and Harve with
eleven.
The second game, played
Sunday• was a coaches nightmare with the lead changing
hands no less than eleven
times before going into overtime tied 57 to 57. At the
nine minute mark of the second half the Nor'westers led
48 to 34 only to discover they
trailed 50 to 48 five minutes
later. The lead then changed
hands four times before Bob
Elvin tied the Caps by sinking
a foul shot with six seconds
remaining.
In the five minute overtime
the Caps jumped into a three
point lead when Lindenberg
was fouled sinking a shot.

The Norwesters trailed by
• two at the 4:15 mark but Bob
Bemko cut the margin to one
by sinking a foul shot. The
. Caps then tried to freeze the
ball but Maurice Siemeniuk
stole the ball and passed off
to Rob Cameron who then
passed off to George Kostyshyn who passed back to
Cameron. Rob Cameronmade
no mistake as he let a thirty
foot shot go Just as the final
buzzer went. The shot was
perfect and the Norwesters
won 62 to 61.
High scorers for the Nor•
westers were Bob Elvin with
17. George Kostyshyn. with 13
and Myron Warywode with 10.
For Brandon Lindenberg
hooped 25 with Harvey
scoring nine.
The two wins over Brandon
represent the first two wins
ever in Intercollegiate Basketball Competition for out
young University and what an
exciting way to break into the
win column. Sunday's game
has to be rated the most
exciting basketball game
ever played in the Lakehead.
If Rob Cameron• s shot had
been a split second later it
would not have counted. That
last basked scored by Cameron were his only two points
of the game. Next games for
our local crew is against
Cambrian College of the
Sault February 10th and 11th.

COS OFFICIAL BLASTS IRRELEVANCE
REGINA (CUP) -- A Canadian Union of Students official
has termed the recent withdrawal of eight universities
from CUS a •healthy sign• that students are trying to
reiate to their academic communities.
Stu~ents .are beginning to think realistically about
what the academic community is and how they can best
relate to it, field secretary Rolli Cacchioni said in an
interview here last week.
Some universities feel they can't relate through CUS,
Cacchioni added, and this is why they have withdrawn.
The field secretary said CUS will only become relevant
to Canadian students if local students' councils relate its
pro§rams to their electorates.
What the SRC is doing at Re.fina campus is quite
irrelevant to the individual student, charged Cacchioni.
•They are tied up with petty administrative matters.
•until they realize the difference between being a
legislative rather than an administrative body, they can't
be active on this campus. The student council must realize
it is an inteval part of the university community--not an
adjunct to it.
Cacchioni claimed Canadian universities are •middleclass ghettoes which function like corporations in which
the raw material--students--is fed in one end, computerized and processed, then exuded at the other end as
university students who have achieved the union ticket
necessary for success in our society.•

Lakehead University, playing a tremendous forechecking game, fired 118 shots in
two games at the Brandon Caps goalie,

shot two goals and added seven assists.
In the. first game Smith opened the scoring
at 1: 29 of the first period from Battiston

UBC PRES. URGES STRIKE DROPPED
VANCOUVER (CUP) --The
president of the University
of British Columbia Tuesday
January 24, urged student
leaders to drop plans for a
general student strike if the
provincial government does
not meet university needs
next year.
Monday night students'
council voted overwhelmingly to lead students on the
strike if the education grants
for B.C: s three universities
fall below the$ 66 million requested by UBC president
John Macdonald.
Council voted to back
a strike referendum to be
held Feb. 14, and suggested
the strike would be held in
early March after the department makes its submission
to the legislature.
The strike would mean
that all buildings and roads
on campus would be closed
for at least one day. Student picket lines would be organized to prevent campus
access for all but researchers engaged in unstoppable

projects. The 17,300 students
will have a chance to vote
yes or no in the referendum
which is worded:
•If the B.C. government
does not allocate $66million
to higher education in B.C.
as recommended by the Macdonald formula, would you
suppon an AMS-sponsored
week of concern including a
strike within that week, and
would you serve on a picket
line?•
Macdonald's anti-strike
statement said the needs of
each of the universities in
B.C. as recommended bythe
B.C. have alreadybeenmade
clear to the government.
•That is as far as the universities have any right
to go. The decision in respect
to the size of the grants to
the universities is exclusively a decision of the government and the legislature
placed in power by the people
of this province.
• Any talk or threat of
strike by the students is

Canadian foreign policy should be designed to prepare for world peace, not to
prepare for war. It is absurd to think in
terms of trying to win a nuclear war.
All Canadians should have the right to
receive education and training up to the limit
of their varying capacities, to be protected
against abuse of power and the depredations
of organized crime, and to enjoy honest
and efficient government at all levels.
Those whohavesufferedeconomicadversity
or mental illness or have run afoul of the
law have a right to intelligent and sympathetic help, so that theywillhave a greater
chance of becoming productive members of
society again.
Equality of educational opportunity must
be the guiding principle in formulating
education policy. This calls not simply for
an expansion and redistribution of educational expenditures, but also for a continual review of standards of teaching, curriculum and other elements thatareessential
to real equality. A Lakehead University
New Democratic Government will provide
the educationalfoundationsuponwhichamature democracy can be solidly built.
The important question concerning Confederation is not what does Quebec want,
but rather what do we want Canada to be.
A Lakehead University NDP Govt. will adopt
policies which would enable French Canadians to fee 1 confident that they rank as
first class citizens in Canada as a whole.
As the NDP programme hits hard at
poverty in general, an NDP Govt. will automatically make a determined effort to eliminate the so-called •Indian problem•. An
NDP Govt. would have Indians design and
implement programmes specifically affecting them.

Students of Lakehead University arise.
Stand for the Liberals and give us the sea

The opposition has advocated •nationalize

The basic tenet of Liberalism is the
dignity and worth of every individual. Thus,
each individual is an end-in-himself no
merely a means to an end. The state an
government, Liberals believe, exist to serve
man and eXist by virtue of the consent ot
the governed.
From this follow some of the principles
of Liberalism -- freedom, equality,
security, toleration, reform.
To the Liberal, equality means equal
opportunity for all individuals. It means
equal rights for all individuals before
the law. Equality entails equity -- fairness
d justice for all individuals.
To the Liberal, security means the freedom from fear, the freedom from danger.
Security includes not only military but also
economic security for all individuals.
To the Liberal, toleration means that indiduals are free to disagree with con• ventional opinion even if these be the prevailing views of the government of society,
or our own beliefs. Toleration is the recirocal side of freedom.
To the Liberal, reform means changefor
e better. Any new proposal is a change
or the better, a reform, if it increases
reedom, reduceshardshipandrestrictions,
nsures equality for all, and implies military or economic security.
The Liberal Party is the party of reform.

DO11 LET YOURSELF BE BOUGHT OUT

Elections for executive positions on the AMS will be
held within the next two weeks. These positions, if handled
responsibly, can be the most trying that any student
would choose to undertake. To be handled adequately,
they involve a tremendous amount of time and sacrifice.
Academic standing and social activities often have to
be foregone. The professionalism demanded of the execu- ~:&gt;&lt;::i,.oi;;::i-c:~~,-.c::=,-.c::=,c;:i..&lt;:i..&lt;:i-&lt;:i-o,Q,o!C:),o,o,,Q,1b,,,o,C)iolC)ioli:::.,,,,1i::.,,c:,,.c:,,.c:::,.c:::i,,&lt;&gt;e:~_,,q~i,&lt;:i,.c:::i~,&lt;:::,,1
tive of such a large and active organization and the control
.of a budget in the range of $30,000 entails a workload
that would dazzle many full-time professional executives.,
All this must be carried on within the context of a full•time course load, usually final year. On top of this is
the constant pressure to communicate with and reflect
the genuine feelipgs of the student body. It is easy to make
enemies when such burdens demand unilateral decisions
and the necessity to refuse worthwhile requests and to
periodically pull rank.
It is a rare evening or Sunday that at least two of the
executive are not in the offices. These people have to
be present at virtually all University functions and the
blame for any failure mustfallbackonthem. Smoothly-run
successes are senfom credited. In addition to all this,
the executive must contend with an obstinate and often
poorly-informed council.
It is clear that an executive member of the society must
be a very special type of person. Whatever his motives,
be they dedication, a genuine desire to see this University
flourish, a dissatisfaction with past shortcomings, or
selfish thirst for power and prestige, he must fill certain
requirements:

THE LEAST YOU

CAN

DO

Contrary to its usual infra-red editorial policies, the
ARGUS will devote this editorial to as sincerely an
unbiased account of the forthcoming Model Parliament
as is possible in view of the place from which this
emanates. Election day is right now -- Feb. 3. We don't
care whom you vote for (much) but we do care that you
vote. The Parliament itself will be held Feb. 16, 17, and
18, in the Great Hall. Dean Kerr is to be the GovernorGeneral, and Mr. A. Alexander of the Political Science
department will be the Speaker of the House. We feel
that since one of our staffers is dedicated to the Parliament to the extent that he has been willing to give up
his regular column on this page, the least you can do is
to express an interest by voting today. No outstanding
self-sacrifice is expected, other than that of the previously mentioned Mr. Phillips.

The fight for the leadership of the Progressive Conservative party is an interesting one. Let us take a look at some of
ther personalities involved.
John Diefenbaker is a man who will not
quit. It took him five tries before he was
elected and that was in the days when
elections weren't held every year or so.
Through his debates in the House he was
revealed as a brilliant man and the Liberals
promptly tried to get rid of him. Firstly,
they bought the house next to his and
opened it as a house for unwed Indian
mothers. There were other attempts, but
the last one came whe n they reduced his
riding to 1/8 its size and took away his
support to another tiding. But this backfired and the people were so angry they
overwhelmingly elected him; he hasn't
looked back since. He also had trouble in

getting control of his own party. He was
just too liberal to be a Conservative. It
took him a long time to get what he wanted,
and he isn't about to give up now.
Since Diefenbaker won't give up, Starr
and Hamilton, two very able men are eliminated. As strong Diefenbaker supporters
they will not run against him. This situation leaves only two serious contenders,
Hees and Fulton.
Fulton has already had a chance at leading
the B.C. proVincialConservativesandfailed
miserably. His chances federallf, if he can't
succeed in his own home aren t too good.
Hees can be dismissed in a word because he
is not well liked.
What it all boils d9wn to is that Dief.
will be here in '68 unless he dies before,
but I'm beginning to think it won't be from
natural causes.

THE ARGUS

When a Student Generation Protests

by Don Sellar (CUP staff writer)

OTTAWA--The
Schwarz
Repon on student health services across Canada pays
more than lip service to student unrest on the Canadian
university scene.
Underlying its clinicallydelivered observations about
the sorry state of student
health services in Canada
is a four-page warning to
university administrators
and governments.
Dr. Schwarz- message to
them is clear: there is a
new generation of students
on Canadian campuses which
refuses to swallow irrelevant courses dished out by
incompetent lecturers.
While their predecessors
were content about grumbling among themselves about food services, parking
regulations, housing facilities and book store prices,
the new breed iB challenging
'even formerly sacrosanct
higher levels of university
government with demands
for student representation
in open university decisionmaking, observes the UBC
psychiatrist.
The report calmly admits
that if only negative signs
are read into the new discontent, more destructive
forms of student protest-the Berkeleys--will be generated in Canada. And not
only that, 'but one can also
fail to recognize the power
which students have to contribute to the growth of universities'.
.writes
Dr.
Schwarz.
This student yearning for
power is based on the theme
that students w ant to do
something positive to improve university conditions.
That student concern for
what happens to universities
.;;;....;;..;.;;;;;...;;.;;.:~---;.;.;...;...__,..;.....
is both legitimate and use-

ful bas been borne out by
student demonstrations in
suppon of progressive university leaders and policies•
he argues, pointing out that
demonstrations are 'more
likely to be made within
the university to the university leaders but not necessarily against them'.
Finding the cause of student unrest is not as difficult as some administrators
and faculty members might
think. According to Dr•
Schwarz, manifestations of
student concern can be attributed to the search by individual students for what he
calls 'appropriate consideration' as individuals.
The identity quest is only
one aspect of current student complaint. The other
area, related more to dissatisfaction with the educational process itself, can be
seen as a demand for greater individual attention in an
increasingly impersonalized
university situation.
The knowledge and enrolment explosions are producing this reaction in Canada
the report suggests. lncreasing class sizes, greater
specialization among faculty members and a withering
dialogue between ·aculty and
students are takir.gtheirtoll.
'While in smaller universities students may still find
that they can form a learning and maturing relationship with a faculty member.
in the larger universities,
such contacts are extremely
. rare. Faculty members in
such institutions, although
very much concerned about
their lack of rapport with
students, are fully a ware that
1f they begin to give individual attention to each student their already heavily

over-loaded schedules will
become unbearable.
Dr. Schwarz then issues
his grim warning.
'What seems to be needed.
and what is being done in
many centres. is a new look
at the total university experience in order to find more
meaningful ways of encouraging true learning even
when large numbers of students have to be involved.
But these approaches require even greater attention
to the total individual and
to the whole university envtronment!
Thus, not only is it impertive that remedial treatment be given to students
suffering
from
various
forms of personality and bebaviour disorders, but a po-.
sitive program of mental
hygeine must be started in
educational institutions.
What Dr. Schwarz is advocating is a revolution in
student health services in
Canada, but the remainder
of his report would seem
to bear out the need for
same.
His descriptions of health
facilities on individual campuses are rampant with criticism, even though the psychiatrist is reluctant to condemn or editorialize.
The truth is that nearly
one. quarter of Canadian
post-secondary institutions
don't have health services;
infirmary facilities are present on only 38.8 per cent
of Canadian campuses and
psychiatric services are
found at only 44.9 per cent
of these schools.
And figures show there is
a whole generation of student
anxiety waitingfor treatment
from doctors who understand
the university environment .

BROWNED OFF
by Dark Brown

In September. when certain
of our students took up vegetating in residence. they
were presented with a number of printed sheets, listing the Does and Don'ts of
behaviour. Among these
were no alcohol (not even the
empty bottles), no women
in the rooms. no guns and
no disorderly conduct. The
example on how to regard
these rules was promptly
set by some 2nd and 3rd
year students who threw several wild and woolly parties or shall we call them
orgies.
Of course the first year
students immediately followed this shining example.
The situation soon deteriorated to the point that an
•Animal of the Week Award'
was being given for such incidents as passing out while
ladies were present and barfing in the washrooms. They
even started a club, known
unofficially as 'Cherry Pickers Anonymous•.
Certain others. full of P.
and V.• burned off steam by
water fighting with wine
akins and staning Chug-alug' contests which usually
wound up on the floor.
Come the Christmas review. certain first year students were kicked out. while
those 2nd and 3rd year men
involved were not. The rea-

son given was that they had
rifles in their rooms. There
were other students who al..
so bad guns in their rooms.
Why this double standard?
Were they asked to leave
only because they were creating a disturbance? Certainly not. Only those first
year students who . raised
hell among themselves instead of with 2nd and 3rd
r,ear men were given the
boots•.
It appears that no definite system of enforcing discipline was set up. True.
proctors were appointed, but
a few of these were among
the worst hell-raisers. The
students were not given the
chance to appear before the
Judiciary Committee. where
they could defend themselves. Does the Residence
Administration blackball any
:&gt;ffending students who are
not personal friends of the
proctors?

MODEL PARLIAMENT
TODAY
For the first time in the history of Lakehead University. there will be a student Model Parliament.
The entire student body bas the chance to panicipate
in this undertaking, for they are the electorate. Each
student bas the opportunity to vote, not on party platforms as presented by the national parties, but on student platforms as presented by the political clubs on
campus.
By voting on the issues as presented, the students
of L.U. may show their stands on current problems,
relative to the rest of Canada. To validate such a consensus it is imperative that all the students exercise
their franchise and vote on Feb. 3
The political clubs campaigning in the election have
presented their policies. It is now up to each individual
student to assess these platforms maturely and cast a
vote for the party that best meets his or her political
beliefs.
The success of this first Model Parliament depends
on the student support it receives.
So •vote.

Juvenile delinquency bas become an increasingly frequent phenomena of our Western Civilization. As contrasted to this, Eastern and pre-literate societies had
BY USING YOUR
a surprising lack of these problems. A study of the
contributory factors should -be therefore, highly perVOTE
tinent.
Perhaps as an opening gambit, it could be pointed
out that juvenile delinquency rests upon sociological
definition. Premarital sexuality, teenage drinking, and
allocation of rights to the young is largely determined
by the traditions of the individual cultures. The making
of such moral laws is just a method of canonizing our
prejudices, and using the threat of force to ensure
their implimentation.
A psychological interpretation is valid only when it
is realized that the individual must internalize the values·
of his society in forming his personality. Thus, the corporate values of a society determine modes of action,
and so of delinquency.
If a comprehensive view such as outlined here is used
_as a format for this conference, some valuable conclusions and suggestions may come forth.

The Director of Planning
and Physical PlantforLakehead University has admitted
that outlets in a University
parking lot are operational
only 50% of the time.
Claude Smith, when questioned by ARGUS reporters
on the fact that outlets in
parking lot B (faculty and
students) were conducting
electricity only 30 minutes
on every hour, answered that
such was the case. but that
nothing could be done • as
existing equipment would be
overtaxed to supply more
electricity.

Mr. Smith said that since
the parking lot was only a
temporary one, one which
would not be operational in
5 years, it would be a questionable expenditure to add
the extra $7,000 - $10,000of
equipment required to make
the plug-ins operational on a
full-time basis.
The students were not the
only ones involved, said Mr.
Smith, as parking lot B was
also allocated to faculty and

When questioned on the case

AMS COUNOL RECONSIDERS ORCUS IS OUT
I

After reconsideration by the
Alma Mater Society it has
been decided that Lakehead
University will not host the
Ontario Regional Canadian
Union of Students conference
on campus at the end of
Feb.
The original vote, passed
at the Jan. 9 meeting of
council, was reversed by
councillors
whose chief
complaint was that the maximwn amount of financ1al
aid required to host the conference, $3,000, was beyond
the council's budget. Mr.
Hider, AMS treasurer, proposed the motion to rescind
the Jan. 9 motion; his motion
was passed with ten councillors voting in favour and
four opposed.
Those voting in favour of
Mr. Hider's motion maintained that $3,000 was an
unreasonable amount of
money for any student government to provide for a
conference, particularly in
view of the recent resignation of Lakehead's own CUS
chairman. Mr. Jordan swnmarized his support of the
motion proposed by Mr. Hi-

der by citing Lakehead' slack
of a CUS chairman, the fact
that the conference would be
held five weeks before final exams, and his opinion
that the student body of Lakehead would not be interested in such a conference.
Strongly worded support
was also given to Mr. Hider's motion by such councillors as Mr. Thompson,
who said, 'Why should our
students pay for ,someone
else's joy-ride?' and Mr.
Penner, who expressed the
opinion that, 'In actual fact
we have been blackmailed;
we have in effect been told
that we couldn't host this
conference unless we raised
$3,000.'
The point was also raised
by councillors in favour of
the motion that it was unlikely that the ORCUS con'ference would generate any
enthusiasm on this campus,
in Mr. Thompson's words,
•will our participation be
that good here? It never has
been, what reason do we have
to think that it will pick up?'
Mr. Tocher! spoke at

length in opposition to rescinding the motion of Jan. 9.
He feft that for the benefit
of the student body as a whole
sending delegates to conferences at other universities
was inadequate as an alternative to hosting such a conference ourselves. Mr. Tocher! granted that previously
Lakehead University would
have been ill-equipped to attempt such a conference, but
he now believes thatattitudes
such as that of Mr. Hider,
'doubt the students' capacity
to accept the challenge.'
He also expressed concern
for the lack of leadership
evinced on the University
campus and &amp;aid that he
had expected the conference
would spark some sort of
interest in campus politics.
Mr. Tocher! felt that there
was no question now of the
intellectual capacity of our
students, and by voting in
favour of M:1:. Hider's motion
councillors would only be
harming themselves and the
students they represent.
He went on to add, 'If
you can, after this con-

ference, if it is held here
at Lakehead, stand up a year
from now, or two years from
now, I question that council
then as to where their interest came. I'm sure, right
now I'm sure, because of the
members that are on this
council, that there will be
students on that council that
will have ~artaken in this
conference.
Other members of the Alma Mater Society were also
present at the council meeting, and expressed a variety
of opinions. Mr. Hess, past
president of the AMS council, felt that Lakehead would
be getting 'a poor return on
the money', and that he would
far rather see students on
our campus involved in conferences at other universities. Mr. Sigfried, another
individual not a member of
council, spoke in support of
Mr. Tocher!. Mr. Sigfried
said that if only 50 students
at Lakehead benefitted from
the conference it would be
worthwhile. He felt that since
the council was only lacking
one member at the meeting,

and since there were also
20-25 non-council members
present, this indicated a definite interest in whether or
not Lakehead hosted the
ORCUS conference.
After further debate a vote
was taken and the motion was
passed. ORCUS, when contacted, expressed· disappointment in the change of
plan. The President, Mr.
Hugh Armstrong, felt that it
was an unfortunate situation
and although he had looked
forward to attendingtheconference at Lakehead, he realized that 'This wouldn't be
possible without the subsidy.' On the other hand, Mr.
Armstrong said that he could
sympathize with the council
in that a large sum of money
was required to host the conference. He further stated
his belief that 'Mr. Tocher!
had made a valiant effort.'
In concluding, Mr. Armstrong mentioned that he
would proceed to contact the
two other universities which
had offered their facilities
before Lakehead committed
itself.

AEd. MOST
STUPID DECISION
Of necessity (3:30 A.M.), this editorial is regrettably short.
ORCUS will not come to Lakehead University.
In an act of unbelievable irresponsibility, Council members have reversed a previous vote in favour of holding
the ORCUS convention here on February 24-26.
The main reasons for refusal seem to be that the conference would be a needless waste of money. ($3,000, although a surplus of $6,000 remained from last year's
budget), and it would present an impossible workload for
members (although some members suggested that they
would be willing to host a national CUS conference).
Other members stated that $3,000 was a sum too large to
spend, in order that Lakehead University could be proud

of organizing such an important event.
Now, councillors, we have only one question. How much
will it cost. to regain face, and to terminate the scorn of
other ORCUS members?

HORROR SHOWS
OPEN CARNIVAL
The first weekend of Winter Carnival 1967 may go down
in L.U. history as the rankest on record.
The Woodchopper's Ball on Friday evening, for those of
us (including the writer) who cannot remember, is reported to have been an awesome scene.
The ARGUS chained a reporter to a tree deep in the bush
under the supervision of the local termperance Leaguefor
72 hours preceding the dance to assure an objective report. Ha jotted down a few observations before being kidnapped by the Catawba Kid and his Four Aces.
Here are a few printable excerpts from his notes.
-An artsman accused half a dozen foresters of being
animals. To prove they weren't, they immediately took
off their jackets and...
-Two types (male) did a strip in the middle of the dance
floor. One attempted to hang a rat.
-900 animals were present and three proctors (oops) 901
animals, a proctor just crashed out.
-The ARGUS office featured dancing on the tables.
-The AMS offices featured a brawl.
-A pacifist was injured trying to mediate an ArtsForestry conversa.tion.
-Somebody got rolled in the parking lot.
-Someone had his face re-arranged for obscure reasons.
-The editor parked his car around a lampost.
-A proctor (the sober one) threw the same smiling drunk
out six (6) times.
-C KPR refused to bring its expensive camera in for one
reason or another.
-A male Florence Nightengale set up a first aid post to
repair broken bodies at residence.
-Somebody doing his impression of super-forester dived
off the roof and survived. Maybe they are super.
-The forestry circle experimented with a new step called
the 'pyramis pirouette'.
-Somebody crashed under a dripping boiler and later reported three hours of excruciating Chinese torture.
-A glass panel was destroyed in the AMS offices.
-Somebody was injured by a pointed object, later reported to be a house key.
-A $75. suede jacket was ventilated by a cig~r.
The Carnival parade was a rolling drunk - enough said.
The nurse's dance was OK but the parties following were
a little better. Miss Dominion of Canada graced one of the
grosser ones with her presence. She stated that she was
fascinated by the informality of the students ·here as people collapsed around her.

space in this issue. I shall confine the rest
(This article might well have been written
under the heading of 'national affairs•. but
as the subject has international ramification,. it was decided to place it under 'iatemational affairs•.)
Recently the CBC invited Adolf von Thadden, the leader of the West German National Democratic Party (NPD), to Canada
to appear on the programme 'Sunday'.
As soon as news of the invitation was made
public, there was a wave of protest from individuals and organizations which consider
the NPD to be neo-Nazi, or at best neoFascist. Chief among the protesters were
the National Jewish Congress and the diplomatic representatives in Canada of the
(West) German Federal Republic. So great.
indeed, was the protest, that the CBC withdrew the invitation to von Thadden. 'Sunday',
however, determined to present him, senta
crew to Germany to obtain the desired interview. Now there are reports that a student
group at a university in British Columbia is
arranging to bring von Thadden to address
students. The Department oflmmigrationis
reported to be investigating.
The foregoing raises two vital questions: Is
the NPD in actualfact a manifestation of the
renascence of Nazi thought in Germany? And
even if it be so, is this reason enough to attempt to preventhisappearanceontheCBC?
The first question is very complex -- far
too complex to be even attempted in th~

of my comments, therefore. to the second
question: If, assuming the worst, the NPD is

really a party dedicated to the promulgation
of Nazi doctrine, does the CBC have the right

to pay - presumably with public funds - for
the leaderofsuchapartytocometo Canada?
It is my opinion that any political (and any
other kind of) view should be able to be aired
over publicly-owned communications media. Surely it is a negation of democratic
principles to deny anyone the right of free
speech on the grounds that his statements
might be offensive to a number ,.. no matter
how great - of people. For, let•s face it, no
one can be sure what von Thadden is going to
say. What kind of standard is it which prevents someone from making a public statement because he might advocate a doctrine
which opposes freedom of speech?
I fail to see why von Thadden should be prevented from haVing his say. I do not believe
that the CBC isseriouslyafraidthatCanadians will en masse espouse the Nazi cause if
von Thadden were to make Nazi-ite statements, and indeed, were he to make such
statements, he might awaken many people to
the dangers of a resurgence of Nazism in
Germany.
The whole question is extremely complicated, compounded by intense emotional issues. However, I believe that theCBC'sdecision not to bring von Thadden to Canada
was a wrong one.

NATIONAL AFFAIRS

Leftish Polttical Sunival
BRYAN SPRINGGAY
The left (progressive) wing of the Liberal
Party can heave a sigh of relief - Walter
Gordon is back in the cabinet. Gordon's return guarantees the survival of the left wing
of the Liberal Party in the face of a growing
conservatism in Liberal policy and leadership.
In order for a political party to survive in
the modern age, it must adopt an increasing
liberal attitude. There is no place in a modern Canada for the eXisting antiquated laws
and a deeply embedded conservatism.
Therefore, the survival of the political parties in Canada, particularly the Liberaland
Conservative Parties, depends on the eXistence and dominating effect of the progressive factions in these parties. With this
leftist domination, the political policies of

&amp;"1!,,~s ~VA.r;./-

the Canadian government can evolve as the
need is presented and public opinion demands it.
The Liberal Party needs men of Walter
Gordon's calibre and political views. The
very existence of the Liberals in their position as the majority party h Canada depends
on such men.
What Canadians want are policies which illustrate a more progressive attitude. This
desire has been shown in the current upsurge
of the leftist third parties such as the New
Democrats. To meet this growing threat of
political annihilation, the Liberal Party has
to, by necessity. take a more definite step
and swing towards the left. This end can be
achieved by the rise of men like Walter Gordon in the leadership of the Liberals.

Dear Editor:
While the tone of this letter

The Argus is giving its
readers a very distorted

all, of the local high schools
for distribution is indicative
of the coverage that you have.

Well tomorrow afternoon is the big day as far as the
Nor•westers basketball team is concerned. Brandon College is sending up their hoopsters to take on Lakehead at
7 o• clock at Hammarskjold High school. The athletic depanment will be working hard this week trying to arrange
for a preliminary game between P .A.C .I. and F. W.c .I.
so that fans will see two games instead of one. The same
two university teams will play off on Sunday at 2 p.m.
Nor'Wester coach Bruce Bristowe is quite confident that
his charges can upset the Brandon team in both games
and has expressed approval in the play of Bob Bemko,
George Kostyshyn and Rob Cameron during the last two
weeks.
The L.U. hockey squad will host Brandon in a double
header at the Arena. The Nor'Westers are now in second
place in theI.C.H.A.anddon"tresumeleagueplay until next
weekend with the Huskies travelling to the Lakehead.
Dave Siciliano now leads the entire league in scoring after
collecting six points last weekend.
Kas Miyata will go down in the record books of the
I.C.H.A. as the first goaltender to record a shutout in the
league•s history. Al Johnaon played in his first intercollegiate game on Sunday and held the powerful St. Cloud
forward unit to three goals.

COLLEGE HOCKEY GETS BOOST

Canada's first annual
international hockey tournament was born in Montreal
last week.
And if the infant can be
nunured to good health it will
provide Canadian college
hockey with a new booster.
Invitations have already
been received by ambassadors to Canada from Russia,
Czechoslovakia and Sweden
for university teams from
those countries to panicipate in next year's Centennial College hockey tournament.
The invitations were sent
by J. DaVid Molson, Montreal
Canadians president.
•This can be a great athletic attraction,• says Molson, who also· disclosed he
intends to inVite • one or two•
top United States teams to
the eight-team event.
As foreign teams are
added, the number of Canadian panicipants would be
dropped to a probable minimum of three, according to
Molson.
-Why shouldn't college
hockey occupy a significant
place in Canadian life?• asks
Molson.
The Canadians president
is also quick to negate any
suggestions his club is trying
to· develop the college game
at the expense of junior hockey, the sponsorship of which
National Hockey League
teams dropped this year.

•we'll pick our future pros
wherever they be1• he says.
•Frankly, I don t care if
college players never play
another game after they
graduate.
•we want to see hockey
played wherever it should
naturally be played.•
Canadian colleges are
places where hockey should
be played says the boss of
the NHL champions.
•The days of the hockey
bum are over. Education and
hockey should be able to go
together.•
He also thinks there should
be more • channels• to take
care
of the academic
and athletic needs of Canadian youth. These channels
he feels are needed to take
youn~ Canadians •beyond the
norm without having to reson to U.S. colleges.
•canadian college hockey
is not as good now as it can
and will be.• he says.
•we need better coaching
and more training in the
basics of hockey--like positional play arid condition.•
•we're working right now
to give next year's tourna- .
ment the kind of promotion
it needs and deserves,• says
Molson.
•The money doesn't matter right now, i( s the development of hockey tha( s

as they fired 52 shots at

rounded out the scoring on a
pretty passing play from
Lorne Gander. Despite some
solid body checking from
both sides, only three penalties were called, two to
St. Cloud.
In Saturday's encounter an

the high scoring Nor' Westers to a 2-1 lead until
the 8 minute mark of the

home three quick tallies to

break the game wide open.
Dwight Stirrett was the opponunist as he picked up
three unassisted tallies.
Mike Tracey, a newcomer to

ranks, notched a pair, with
Murray Smith rounding out
the scoring. Al Johnson replacing Myata in the Lakehead University nets turned
aside 25 shots to 27 for

CUS HUMOUR TAKEN SERIOUSLY

SUPA - AN INTRODOCTION
A local chapter of the Student Union for Peace Action
was initiated on the Lakehead University campus on
Tuesday, Jan. 17. Since the
federal chairman of SUPA,
Mr. J.D. Harding, is on the
faculty at Lakehead, the Argus took the opportunity of
discussing the origin and
aims of SUPA with Mr.Harding. Strangely enough when
the Argus went to press
Mr. Harding knew nothing
about the formation of the
local chapter.
SUPA originated in Regina
during Christmas of 1964 aa
an outgrowth of the CUCNDCombined Universities Campaign for Nuclear Disarm..
ament. The method of the
CUCND, which was oriented
towards Canadian foreign
policy, was to lobby all the
political parties in Ottawa.
It became irrelevant after
the 1963 election when it
lost its issue and the Pearson government adopted nuclear arms. Mr. Harding expressed the opinion that •the
symbolism of Hiroshima was
an underlying thing for the
generation
that created
CUCND.• During the years
from 1959-1964 when the
CUCND existed, many thousands of students were involved in demonstrations; at the
Regina campus of the University of Saskatchewan
CUCND was the largest student involvement activity.
This was also true at McGill
in Montreal.
A year of depression followed the 1963 election, during which time the leaders
of CUC ND questioned the re-

levancy of their concerns.
During this same period the
American civil rights movement was active, andattracted people in CUCND as
representing the same goals.
After evaluating both their
own situation and the situation of the civil rights
workers, who expounded radical pacifist theory, the
philosophy of SUPA was set
down.
The people of CUCND realized that they hadattempted to affect only the symp.
toms of power, and in terms
of analysis had failed to

being done, (spending millions of dollars on it, THEY say)
and that this is one of the necessary ,evils that must be
accepted with the benefits. What benefits, you ask? Well
sir, the company that manufactures the stink is now able
to employ more men, pay more out in wages, bring more
money into the city through sales. . . . What's that?
You ask how many will benefit from this expansion?
Well, those who work for the company, I guess. No,
that's not a large percentage o f our population, quite
small in fact. How many are suffering? Well, I guess all
those who live anywhere near the source of the stink, including those who have set up motels near there. It seems
outsiders can't seem to take the smell like we can. Port
Arthur? Well it adjoins our city on the east. No they
don't have the smell. Yes, they do have mills, two in
fact. No, I don't know why they don'thave this smell. Perhpas it's a different pulping process. . .perhaps it's a
question of values, I don't know. What do I think of the
situation? Well sir, many are being put to considerable
discomfort, both financial and personal; a few are benefitting greatly from the situation, and THEY tell us that the
smell will not hartll us, and that soon we will get used to
it, and Will not even notice it. Alter all, sir, what's more
important, our selfish desire for personal comfort, or
industrial expansion, prosperity, greater employment,
more buying power? • . • . good-bye sir, enjoy your trip!•

COUNCIL BRIEFS
At the AMS meeting on January 16,
council's attention was drawn to the fact
that car draw tickets were not going as
quickly as expected.
To the sixteenth, only $1,687.50 bad been
turned in to the committee. Mr. Hider
stated that 1,400 tickets bad been distributed, but that a greater effort was required to make the project a successful
one.
The problem of distribution also plagues
the Circle K club in their efforts to sell
University calendars. Only 400 of the 4570
calendars printed bad been sold at the
date of the meeting. Mr. Cordingly asked
if Circle K was a 'little slac~ in their
work. Mr. Hider retorted 'Do you want
my opinion?' Mr. Tocheri suggested that
if a 25% instead of a 5% profit on each
calendar was offered they would be sold
more quickly.
Mr. Tocheri's plan for a Board of Trustees was finally given council's approval.
The board's purpose woul~ be to deal with
the building fund and the retained surpluses. Mr. Tocheri also drew attention
to a Political Science conference to be
held at Michigan State, to discuss Cana&lt;11an-Amer:ccan re1at1ons. It will be held
February 14-16.
,Mr. Hider told council that the ORCUS
convention to be held on campus will cost
an estimated $3,000.
The question of awarding the prize for
a name for the Varsity teams came up
in a letter from SAS President Chuck
Sameluk. The letter stated that although
Mr. Shannon, who suggested the name,
was on the committee selecting names
to be placed on the ballots, Shannon expected the prize to be paid. The prize

SCHWARZ REPORT

God.Aid for Healtl,,Sem~

OTTAWA (CUP)--A report which reveals glaring inadequacies in Canadian student health service suggests
universities should seek federal government aid in improving them.
The study, prepared by Conrad Schwarz, consultant
psychiatrist at the University of British Columbia•s
student health service, notes that only one Canadian
university--Dalhousie--approaches American College
Health Association standards of one doctor and one nurse
per 1,000 students.
The Schwarz Report, published Friday (Jan. 13) by the
Canadian Union of Students, notes that general university
funds, student levies and service fees have financed the
o~ration of campus health services in Canada, but adds:
With the introduction of a national medicare scheme,
it might prove feasible for the health service to bill
the government directly on a fee-for-service basis and
to use the funds derived from thisforpayment of salaries,
increase in staffing and purchase of equipment.'
But such government grants would probably not cover
all the costs of an 'adequate' health service which
should be staffed with specialized technical personnel,
Dr. Schwarz says.
In his 41-page report written from surveys conducted
last spring and summer among 49 Canadian institutions,
the B.C. psychiatrist says that while 77 .5 per cent of
Canadian campuses have some kind of health service,
only 44.9 per cent provide any psychiatric service.
Also among Dr. Schwarz• findings are the following:
. About 55 per cent of university students bad felt
a need for 'council or advice regarding emotional or
psychological problems'.
• Infirmary facilities 'appear to be present on 33.8
per cent of Canadian campuses, but the physical settings
and professional supervision provided showed wide variations•.
. Students are using health services 'extensively',
from the number of student visits recorded on 20 campuses.
Dr. Schwarz points to surveys conducted by students
after a 1963 conference on student mental health which
show that more than half of Canadian students have
felt 'a desire _to seek counsel or advice regarding emotional or psychological problems.'
The same survey found that students rank their most

offered was 'up to $100'. After considerable
discussion, it was resolved that the prize
money would be sent to the Athletic Board,
'to be used at their discretion'.
Mr. Tocheri announced that since the
Board of Governors • would be reviewing
the summer budget shortly, it must be
determined what is to be charged as Summer Student fees. Last year a one dollar
token fee was collected. This year, a five
dollar fee, estimated by Mr. Hider to be
sufficient, will be charged. According to
Mr. Tocheri, the fees next year will be
raised also. The University is growing
faster than the council, he stated, and as
a result, the dollar- ratio return in benefits received by the student would approach
more closely to the desired 100% if fees
are increased.
Mr. Hider commented that he bas been
receiving criticism With respect to the
quality of the dances. In future, dances
will be restricted to students holding cards
from the University, schools of Nursing,
and Teacher's College. Mr. Penner commented that the advertising was also poor,
since it was directed towards the gummers,
not the students. Mr. Thompson questioned
the inclusion of Teacher's College at our
dances. It appears that they do 'the square
root of.. ! for us in return. Mr. Hider
replied that some Foresters of a past ,
class, in a somewhat irresponsible state,
blemished the escutcheon of our institute
at the neighbouring College.
Fiesta Latina, an annual llniversity affair,
was discussed. It was decided that the AMS
would not subsidize part of the cost, as is
customary at the Dinner Dances. Itappears
that this affair is one of the few functions
of that nature that actually makes money.

A.M.S. TO HIRE FULL TIME PERSONEL

The A.M.S. bas proposed
to council that the society

one or two full-time administrative assistants.
The executive will draw
up a brief outlining its requ1rements and recommendations to be submitted to
council before the installation of the new executive,
but to be acted upon by the

incoming body.
At the Jan. 9 regular meeting President Tocheri outlined why at least one full
time position must be
created to aid the A.M.S.
He pointed out that with the
increased size of the university and the corresponding increase in the responsibilities, projects, and expenses of the society that

WE WON!

BY WILLIAM SHERIDAN

Was the Canadian Confederation experiment a success? Simon Hoad and William Sheridan, under the guidance of Mr. Alan Alexander of the Political Science
department, formed the Lakehead University debating
team; they debated the above topic, both pro and con,
at London.
Totn Owen of the University of Western Ontario petitioned the federal government to hold a debating tournament to commemorate Canada's Centennial. The government agreed to sponsor the debates both academically
and financially.
The topics of the Continental Debating Committee
were appropriate for the occasion. The setup was parliamentary in style, with questions and heckling permitted. Since the principle of Confederation is easier
to disclaim than to uphold, we lost the pro and won the
con. On the topic 'Do Canadians Have more Fun?' we
agreed and tied. (After all, the sale of contraceptives
is up.) On the resolution 'That a good title for a History
of Canada was 'The Permanent Colony'' we agreed
and won.
Of the 24 participating universities, L.U. placed 11th,
which is a very promising showing, since our team bad
less than a week to prepare their arguments. Individually,
Mr. Hoad ranked 10th and Mr. Sheridan 13th out of 48
contestants.
This presents a good opportunity for both staff and
students to form a winning debate team at Lakehead.
Watch for further notices on the bulletin boards.

The question was raised
by Mr. Cordingly as to why
so much was required to
run a model parliament
which was intended to be
simply an exercise. It was
explained by the members
of the parties present at
the meeting that the costs
of running a good campaign
to aro~e sufficient interest
in the parliament, plus the
costs of running advertisements in the ARGUS were
included. Mr. Hider asked
jf the ARGUS would run ads
for the parliament free of
charge. Co-editor Colbome
explained that a special supplement on the model parliament had been plaMed.
One of the items on the
NDY budget was the rental
of public speaking equipment
Mr. Jordan questioned the
need to spend$ 30 on this item
since there is equipment in
the University. Mr. Robinson
of the NDY stated that this
expenditure was necessary
to bis campaign. Miss Gall
of the • Liberals suggested
that this item should be on
the non-paniSan budget so
that the equipment could be

used by all concerned. Mr.
Hider then gained the approval of the Co1D1cil for changing this expense from the
NDY to the non-partisan bud- 1

get.
Mr. Marwood presented
the question of the ability
of the clubs to raise their
ow-,"l funds. Mr. Robson explained that although the
Liberals had done so to a
limited extent, the NOY club
could not pursue their
desired position of independence wlth respect to ·:&gt;ther
NDP eXtablisbments in the
area if they solicited support from their co:itacts.
Mr. Marwood replied that
it was bis im?ress:!.on that
clubs had only to ask, and
they would receive money
from the council.
Miss Ticknor interrupted
this discussion with the point
that each club should receive
the sa.-ne nmow1t fro:n the
AMS. Mr, Thompson s~t the
optimu n amount at $50 per
club. Mr. Marwood asked
who would be elegible for
this grant. After considerabte discussion, it was decided that a committee
should be set up to review
groups that want to participate in tpe model parliament. M,~m.hers of Council on that committee are
. Councillors Cordingly, Marwood and PeMer.

MONTREAL
(CUP)-A
revised version of the Uni-■
versity of Montreal's charter contains a proposal to
include students and professors in the university's
board of governors and senate.
The new charter, which
will go before the Legislative Assembly for approval, will permit two students
to sit on the board of governors, said associate vicerector Paul Lacoste.
The two students. who
must hold the equivalent of
a BA Honors degree 'will
be appointed after consultation with student representatives', said Mr. Lacoste.
Professors will be officially associated with the university for the first time
through their five seats on
the board. •
Other board members will
be appointed by the provincial
government, the
archbishop of Montreal and
U of M graduates.
In addition, a 70-member
senate, including deans, professors and students, will be
created to nominate the rector and approve major decisions.
The new cbanerwill transform the university -into a
democratic secular public
institution with a decentralized administration, said
rector Roger Gaudry.

CONFERENCE REPORT

U. of M. - UNIVERSITY CITY
BY TED WALKER
Four Lakehead University delegates attended the University of Manitoba conference on University, Jan~ 14-15.
At the risk of giving A.M.S. treasurer Ronald Hider a
coronary, it is suggested that perhaps the conference
would better have been attended by Claude Smith, David
Morgan, or other administrative personnel, as the conference was administrative and not student oriented. The
delegates reported that the subject of the conference was
primarily residence financing, university plaMing problems, organiZation of governingbodiesatanadm~trative
level only, and the problems of university-community
commW1ication.
Discussion also turned to the ratiQ of resident to
commuter students, a ratio that most instruetors present seemed to find extremely unsausfac_tory. The instructors expressed the opinion that commuter students
came to school every day for their regular 'ration of
knowledge and lecture notes.• In one of the panel discussions it was brought out that lectures and labs per
se do not constitute a full education. The panelists felt
that discussion among students and faculty was necessary, but that no facilities for this were provided. This,
in tum, led back to a discussion of university planning
and the problems of financing any new facilities.
One question which was of considerable interest to
students did arise, albeit briefly, buf was squelched with
diplomacy that would do credit to Wayne Tocheri. The
president of the student body of the University of Manitoba bad very gently asked about student representation
on the board of governors. Several gentlemen in the
audience, who could have been planted there, rather
loudly brought the question to the fore. The chairman
looked at his watch, and noting that it was almost time
for coffee, developed a terrific thirst and quickly closed
the discussion.
The conference, although interesting from a student's
point of view, did not impart a practical son of knowledge. However, the next time I want to build a residence I'll know where to start.

STUDENT FILM
TERMED OBSCENE
HAMIL TON
(CUP)--A
movie film produced by Mc
Master University students
showing a woman in bed with
two men bas been viewed by
Metro Toronto's morality
squad at a processing laboratory there.
Sgt. John Wilson of the
morality squad said charges
might be laid against the
film's makers on the ground
that it is obscene.
The
eight-minute sequence in question is part
of a scene in Black Zero.
one of trilogy being directed
by John Hofsess, a former
McMaster student.
The scene shows two men in
bed with a woman. None of
the three is undressed, but
their actions might be construed as obscene, said Sgt.
Wilson.
But Peter Rowe; president
of the university's film
board, said Monday (Jan. 9)
there was no possibility of
laying charges.
'The film is only pan of
a working print and may be
edited before the final film
is submitted to the Ontario
Board of Censors.'
Mr. Rowe said the film
was probably taken by the
morality
squad because
some film producers bad
been reported as slipping
small erotic scenes into
larger sequences, then clipping them out and splicing
them to similar scenesfrom
other films to produce stag
movies.

In an unprecedented action, the LAKEUNIVERSITY FACULTY ASSOCIATION
rejected completely a move by the
..Ad!ninistration to replace all Departmental Secretaries with a Secretarial
Pool.
HEAD

In a hastily arranged Association
meeting two resolutions regarding the
Administration's actions were drafted
&amp; passed unanimously. The resolutions
read as follows: "THIS ASSOCIATION

VEPLORES ANV WILL NOT ACCEPT ANY REORGANIZATION OF ITS SECRETARIAL STAFF
WITHOUT FACULTY CONSULTATION ANV APPROVAL." and "THIS ASSOCIATION, MINVFUL OF THE RESPONSIBILITIES WHICH THE
UNIVERSITY HAS TO THE COMMUNITY, ANV

At the time of the move, only secretaries in the Faculty of Science were
affected &amp; the Arts Secretaries have
not received any orders towards reorganization.
Dean Hart, the only official of the
Administration on campus at the time,
due to the absence of Dean Ryan, Dr.
Braun and President Tamblyn, was not
available for comment at press time.

After several recent meetings between
representatives of the Faculty Association &amp; the Administration, the conflict has not yet been altogether resolved with the Science Secretaries
still in the secretarial pool &amp; their
positions of Departmental Secretaries
temporarily re-established. All negotiations over the matter have been
postponed until the return of President Tamblyn in September.

residence at Lakehead University.
In this connection, Mr. David Morgan,
Lakehead University Director of Finance, announced a scheme to find
suitable housing off-campus for these
students until the residence complex
is ready. The administration, through
Mr. Morgan, has approached the Faculty Wives' Association to organize a
campaign aimed at Faculty and Administration staff in the hopes that
some of these students can find adequate acconnnodations with them.
In addition, all parents of local
students will be contacted and asked
if they could poss_ibly house a• student until Christmas. If these two
groups cannot acconnnodate all the
students, then an· appeal will be made
to the Lakehead Service Clubs.
The present appeal being made for additional housing is independent of
the Student Housing Bureau as accommodations for these students are only
required until the Christmas break.

changed to a Student-Faculty Lounge.
In a meeting

the following week, re-

presentatives of the Council &amp; Calude
Smith, Director of Planning and Plant
Operations, came to an agreement over
the dispute. It was decided that a
trail period of one month would be allotted to the sch.eme. and, if after
that time, the students were·still
dissatisfied, the facilities would be
removed.
When speaking about the change, Mr.
Smith said: "The decision wasn't made
lightly. Every aspect of the university is going to be jeopardi~ed by
the lack of facilities." He went on
to say that the cafeteria would be ...
the hardest hit.
Increased enrollment and construction
delays have apparently caused a lack
of space for many planned facilities
o~ campus. But when asked if the cafeteria problem was related to the recent construction strikes, Mr. Smith
said, "It was never planned that the
extention to the University Centre
housing a 700 seat cafeteria and 400
seat dining room, would be completed
for this school·-year." He also stated
that even if the strikes hadn't occurred, the new residence halls wouldn't have been completed for September as
scheduled.
The main area of contention ~ith the
Students was the fact that they were
not consulted by the Administration,
when the plan was decided upon. Dennis Wallace, AMS Director of Finance,
said, "It would seem that the University Administration considers itself
sole judge in all matters surrounding
the University and neither Faculty or
Students are consulted when
any
chang._es are being made."

Tom McLeod, 23 and Arts lV student
Lakehead University, died suddenly
Monday, August 19.
At the time
his death, Tom was working as a management trainee for Simpson-Sears at
the Intercity Plaza.
Born in Halifax, Nova Scotia, son
Mr. and Mrs. Fulton McLeod,
Tom attended school in North Bay until the
the family moved to the Lakehead in
1961. H~ was a graduate . of Fort William Collegiate Institute and then
received his B.A. in History and English from Lakehead in 1967. He was
working towards his Masters degree at
t~e time of his death.
Actively involved ~n student affairs
during his four years here, Tom.was
the Vice-President of the Arts Soc·eity 1966-67, and he received the
President's Medal for his efforts in
the Proctor Force the same year. His
interest in photography lead him to
work ·on both the Argus and the yearbook over the past years as well.
_Perhaps best known for his work as
the Chief Proctor over the past year,
Tom was known and respected
fair and friendly man by the
stuc;lent body.
He is survived by his wife Joanna and
son Robert F., age one,• at home; his
parents Mr. and Mrs. Fulton McLeod
and sister Anne, of 512 Brown St.,
Fort William; uncles, aunts,
and
other relatives.
The deepest sympathy of all students, faculty and
staff members of the University goes
to the bereaved family at this difficult time. Tom was-a fine man;
was our friend we shall miss him.

�SEATS ON COUNCIL: U of T
'
The University
of Toronto has offered
the Students Administrative Council
seats on the President's Council as
part of a new policy to involve students in university government.
The offer was made during a private
meeting between U of T President
Claude Bissell and student leaders in
mid July and is being considered by
student leaders.
The Administration source said (Aug.
6) no mention was made in the offer
of how many seats students would occupy, or whether the body would begin
meeting publicly instead of in closed
session.
Students elected to the SAC will meet
this weekend to discuss policy for
next year, and SAC Education Commissioner Andrew Wernick said he expects
the council seats to be a major issue.
Student President Steven Langdon fav-

ours accepting the seats because they
will provide a platform for student
views, but Mr Wernick calls the offer
"a policy of divide &amp; conquer because
the council won't have any power
as
long as the Board of Governors exists
and ·tnakes the real decisions."
"We
would just waste our time and help
foster the illusion that the President's Council really decides things."

series of public meetings this fall;
the deadline for submissions is Nov.
30. Professor D.F. Forster,. executive
assistant to President Bissell, said
the committee of ten was formed three
months ago to review and redefine the
proper limits of the university jurisdiction and to advise the president
on whether the existing machinery is
adequate.

Mr. Langdon said he would favour ac~
cepting the seats "if council stops
meeting in secret and if we can get
equal representation with the faculty.
But I agree with Mr. Wernick that the
council is really irrelevant; it's
not in a position to change the university."

Discipline at the university is controlled by CAPUT, which Prof. Forster
said has long been recognized as inadequate, and which Dr. Bissell has
called "calcified".
The Caput includes the university president, the
provost,heads of constituent colleges
and federated universities, deans of
faculties &amp; the warden of Hart House.
The provincial University Act empowers Caput to expel, suspend, impose
fines or recommend the withholding of _
degrees, diplomas &amp; academic standing

The University also yesterday invited
students &amp; the public to submit written briefs to an advisory
committee
that is reviewing disciplinary procedures. The briefs will be heard at a

Realizing the fact that the average
Lakehead University student has no
balls, a group of individuals should
form a Student Apathy Club (S.A.C.).
Although the club would have the largest membership on campus (90% of the
student body), it would probably be
disbanded when any member had the audacity to show up for a meeting. Such
a move would constitute subversion.

REVOLUTIONARY COMMUNE

Within universities, change can occur
at many levels. One of the important
places is the classroom. Students,
both radical and straight, come to
the university in the fall, and after
some agony and deliberation, register.
They find themselves in classes where
they have little say in policy decisions. After a few attempts to
change the class, individuals sink in
to apathy and perform more or less as
they are expecte~ to.
There is a method by which students
can break this pattern. Before registration, students of a radical
persuation should get together and,
after consideration
of
variables,
which only they can determine, the
group should all register
for
the
same course. Now during the first few
weeks of the course they will be in a
position to have their proposals considered.
There will be side benefits from this
arrangement as well. Less books will
have to be purchased. Study partners
will be more readily available. Rides
to class may be more easily obtained.
One of the important things to remember when following this course of
action is that group members must
work together. They must not get sucked into the individualist competition

•

come to an understanding of this principle. If they are unable to do this
they will have an indication, for
themselves, that they are playing •
games, not working for serious change
within the university.

THE

ol der scene
Late in 1965 the SDS had its first
test "under fire" and its biggest
break. Vietnam was becoming a source
of ir.rnediate concern and, in particular, draft avoidance was getting to be
respectable among liberal and radical
intellectuals. An offhand remark (sns

It remained, though, principally a

were resistance to the Vietnam War
and the student movement orr campus -Berkeley, Chicago, Columbia. "Socialism" and such is largely irrelevant
to SDS, though it speaks of revolution
and the new society. Participatory democracy is both the principal aim and
the principal tactic of the group.
0rganization is valued --- attempts
were made to organize welfare recipients (Chicago) -- Blacks (Newark) -Appalachians (Chica90) -- migratory
workers (California} -- students
(everywhere). Except for the student
most of the efforts were futile. It
is on the campuses that SDS has its
greatest relevance and·its greatest
success.
SDS has probably passed its peak as
of this date, though it is still quit
viable. Faction fighting has begun to
appear at its conventions and perhaps
SDS will repeat the YPSL demise. As
for the "New Left" in general, it is
hard to say where it is going. Young
disaffil.iates who, three years ago,
would have been involved in SDS are
now smoking grass and listening to
Acid Rock. Their confrontation with
the establishment is on a personal
level -- they seem even less "political" than SDS.

the nation. Educators, ed1tor1al
writers, the clergy, politicians
and others felt constrained to examine the outbreak of dissatisfaction, to dissect it and discover
the causes.
But, what really started the trouble? It was revealed on saturday
that a small group, organized as
the Students for a Democratic Society, sparked the !ebellions in
the various colleges.
And one of
the leaders in an interview said,
"capitalism must go."
He talked
of his organization spreading offcampus and creating a class-conscious revolutionary socialist movement.
So it's out.
Those who guessed
that the demonstrations and takeover of university properties were
organized and encouraged by com-

July 18, 1968

munists are proven right. In the
field of higher education, the
boring-in. tactics of the world
communists were carried out with
some success right in the heart of
the largest free-enterprise country.
A further guess may be made
that the communist cell organizers
received many an assist from a few
sympathetic members
of faculty
staffs.
A few years· ago, when Khruschev
was in a belligerent mood he told
the Americans
that
communists
would bury them.
Many of our
neighbours laughed then at the
very thought of the prediction.
Yet in 1968, a small detachment of
communists is able to operate a
cell to disrupt seriously a key
element of the American citizenry.
More to the point, though, is that
communist agitators found thousands of students in a receptive
mood.
They were able to play on
their aversion to the fighting in
East Asia, on existing radical
dislikes,
on unrest among the
young created by an affluent society, and the modern day permissiveness among the young.

Sir:
The people love peace and liberty, and enjoy those to the ~ull.
All of them are so diligent,
honest and sympathetic· to the
poor. Nothing is cruel and miserable there. This is the country, Canada, in my dream from my
childhood. Now, I as an adult,
know well that your nation does
the very best as a leader of the
world, and I have been feeling
ve~y close to you, and yet I am
gding to write this appealing
letter for your help. I keenly
feel it is very shameless deed

but I cannot help appealing to
help save my children. I
do
hope you would be kind enough to
read this and the enclosed brochure of my work, though you are
in the busy time.
I am a woman who runs a tiny vocational school, and now I am in
a woeful plight. At a crisis of
closing the school, I can hardly
get to sleep at night with my
better anxiety if they would run
away to be beggars or·thieves -on
the st~eets again. I used up
all my personal funds to build
the present two rooms and run
the school until today. I have
no regular income, and my school
isn't associated with any church
&amp; I get no financial assistance
from religious organizations.

...

I

believe we are the same sons
daughters of God transcending
the colour &amp; the board, and the
same members trying to build the
world of peace and goodwill. So
I can appeal to help from you .
&amp;

...

The pen is mightier than the
sword. Won't you wield a facile
pen so that your students may
participate in helping
these
poor ones? I entreat you again
that my school will be affiliated with your college and my
children will get your help and
friendship. Any help from you
will be welcomed by the children
and even a cent contributed will
make them smile happily and fill
them with hope in the successful
future. If this appeal would be
brought to your stodent council
and they could raise subscriptions, it will be of great help
to save my children from .the extreme difficulties.
If you want any more information
of our school please communicate

tator to a sport. People do not really learn to make
choices in school. I think it's pard to overstate the importance of this. You go to school for all th~se years 12 - and then college and then graduate school and you're
re denied the opportunity to make serious cp~ices.
WATSON: What could the student be choosing?

WATSON: Jerry, in your article you said that the student
is a slave. What are the components of a student's slavery?

FARBER: Take my department - English. Our curriculum
spells out in small detail what the student takes. We require so ·many number units for the English major, and we
tell them what to take, course by course. Even the electives have to be approved by a departmental advisor.
When the student enters my college he has to take what we
call 'general educational requirements'.
They are somebody's idea of what a well rounded person is. He does
that. Nobody asks him: - Vo you. wa.n:t to be well ILou.nded?
Nobody says: Vo you. wa.n:t .to be a. lop.61..ded mu,.lca.l gen-i..tu,?
Vo IJOU wa.n:t to .ta.ke 1so_u.n.ltli 06 Phy.6-i.ch? Vo {/OU. ILea.Uy
wa.n:t ""to .ta.ke M,i.c/r.o-lUology? They just assume that because
they run him through these courses, he is . therefore going
to 'be a modern western man. But I think he becomes a person who hates school, who doesn't see its relevance, who
goes to classes because he's told to go to classes , who
shuffles through with the slave demeanor playing the
game, trying to get the degree.
Most students at my school are very cynical and very open
about this. They are aware that if they want to get an
education they really have to scratch for it in school &amp;
probably they're going to get it outside school and that
may be incompatible with their getting the degree. But
they want what most people want, the degree, the problem
is to put on Mr. Charlie, to put on the slave-master, to
do what he tells you, tell him what he wants to hear, do
his silly requirements, smile at him and get through, and
then be on your own.
But I think it is a delusion to assume that you can spend
16 years in school and then decide to be your own man.
You've been wearing a mask all the time, you take it off
and it won't come off.
WATSON: You've done it. You've been -a student. Was J.
Farber a nigger?
FARBER: Sure, I believed in grades so badly if I got an
instead of an A I lost sle~p over it. I went to UCLA and
I was there to please my teachers. By the time I got into UCLA, I stopped caring too much. I spent most of my
time on the student paper. But my slavish attitude resUIDed in graduate school when I really did prefer, for
professional reasons, to please the people.
WATSON: Are you still a nigger?
FARBER: I'm a transitional figure. I've come out of one
thing and I'm trying to start another. It's a very exciting position to be in, but it is also very awkward: you
have to pay very, heavy dues when you make that transition.
Imagine an age ·_ our age - where you're coming out of one
sexual morality i.nto another. The people who are making
the change have special problems, because they have to
contend with what was put in their head by the old one &amp;
they're trying to create the new one. The kids

FARBER: I think to approach that you have. to ask what it
means for a.person to be a nigger rather than a Negro or
a black person. To be a slave, or to be a nigger, means
not only that you are exploited, that you've been treated
unjustly, that you're being discriminated against, but
that you accept it; you accept the role, you're willing
to go along with it, you'll play the part. That's why the ·
student is not just oppressed or downtrodden, but has
that slave mentality --- a sort of obliging, ingratiating
surface &amp; a kind of stubborn refusal to co-operate underneath. The student, as I see him, is put in a position
where the main thing he learns is to follow orders, now,
and I have my doubts about how much else he learns, particularly when you consider the time he spends in school.
You don't learn that much for those 12 dreary years, but
the one thing you do learn, as I can tell from my freshmen students at college, is to do what you're told.
If I were to ask my students to do some silly thing, to
go to the library and pick ten books off the shelf
and
write down the first word in each book and then write the
words backwards or something, they'd do it -- I swear to
God they'd to it. • But, i f I ask them to think, to care,
then they run into trouble, because that's not what education has dealt with in their lives.
WATSON: Now hold on a minute. The university students in
the United States are perhaps 10% of the population and
they have produced over the years a pretty enviable parcel of scholarships, scientific achievement, and exploration of all kinds. Are you telling me_ that these are
people who have never learned how to think?
FARBER: The universities of the United States have produced a great deal more. They have produced people, scientists for example, who have technical capacity in their
area and no capacity whatsoever to insist on determining
on how their work is used. They have produced people who
are willing to work in their narrow area, who are very
good at it, and who let it go at that. So it's true that
the colleges can turn out a certain kind of proficiency
but it's what they don't turn out that worries me.
'
WATSON: What's missing?
FARBER: What's missing is the ability and the desire to
be a free man and that has serious effects on our national politics. There's a great tendency in this country to
assume that it's all happening somewhere else politically
and that you and I and other people do not have very much
to do with it. The people up there have access to the
computers and the inside information and they know so the.
relationshi of the citizen to politics is that of a spe~-

(Lakehead University Calendar, 1968-69, p.49). This reference
to "general conduct" has, for
some
time, been of great interest to me.
However, no matter who I ask, or how
many p_e ople I ask, no one really appears to know exactly what it means.
Very interesting.
For some strange reason, I always assumed that a university was a "community of men and women who have come
together to pursue and to disseminate
knowledge". (Ibid. p. 257.) Whether
or not the "traditional privileges of
a university are freedom of inquiry &amp;
freedom of expression" (Ibid. p. 257)
can only be placed in the realm of

the ideological for the time being,
when, as a good friend and graduate
of this university, asks: "Wha.t ca.n
you. ex.pec.t 61Lom a. .6y-6.tem wfuc.h cllcta.tu JUttheJL .tha.n edu.c.a,tu s WOIL6h.lp6
.&amp;u.c.cui, a.t .the ex.pe;u,e 06 peJUiona.l
develo pnen.t?"

Exactly what is meant by that quotation regarding freedoms etc.? Are the
people who wrote the calendar in the
same category as some at Trent University in Peterborough, who, refused
re-admission to a candidate because
of his "leftist activities". Is this
the great academic freedom they speak
of? Is the real meaning "Vo wha.t you.
L-00.nt heJte .ln u.n.lveJUi.lty, bu.t, do .lt
OWl. WQ.lj • "

This situation does not exist merely
for students either. 'The faculty can
testify to the lack of freedom in
their teaching methods, and in their
extra-faculty activities. What is the

a

purpose of this university? Is it the
production of pr9grammed stereotypes
that it appears to be, or is it a
place where people can congregate, in
the real spirit of inquiry, to learn
freely and, unencumbered by out-dated
archaic concepts, evolve into socially aware, thinking individuals? And I
emphasize individuals.
"University life has its privileges
and responsibilities" - to what?
To
whom? And most important, why?
It
appears as if the "University" itself
is greater than the people in it. The
institution is the God.
Fear the
great God and you shall be delivered.

I wondered if these responsibilities
include my personal responsibility to
say "No!" to the system when it is
strangling me by means of an insane
prerequisite which I do not have to a
course that I feel I would really enjoy taking? If we are here to be "ed-

AND WATSON RAP.
up in the new one will be in a much better situation.
That's the way I see myself: I am trying to work towards
freedom in education, but I didn't have it.
WATSON: How much freedom does a student have to have?
Are you suggesting that anyone should be able to walk into a college and look ,around and say: "Well, U'-6 pJtetty

ni.c.e heJr.e, I'll maybe . -6:t.udy · a. .u..t,;U.e modeJLn da.nc.e and
i,pend a. .u..t,;U.e time l..n the c.heml-6.tlr.y £.ab., 01t maybe I
won't?"

FARBER: Why not? Just ask yourself that. Keep asking why
over and over again. Why not?
WATSON: First of all, a whole lot of people are putting
a whole bundle of money to operate these universities on
the premise that something is going to happen to the student when he gets there.
FARBER: Now you are getting down to the crux of it. Who
pays the money? Who benefits from colleges? For ~hom are
they operated?

WATSON:

Now you are going to tell me that the reason the
student is a slave is that he's being bought-is th~t it?
FARBER: I think it is true that society expects that in
return for its money something is going to be done to the
student.

WATSON:

Something is going to be done to the student?

FARBER: Done to the student. Right. I'm using that formulation intentionally. We want them to grow up like us &amp;
school is one of the ways we do it. School is the way we
cut them out with a cookie-cutter in the same shape we're
in.
But this is not necessarily the best thing from the
student's point of view. Granted if you want to reproduce
your society, if you.could, what you are talking about
might be a good thing to d·o . But if what you want to do
is provide an opportunity where someone can learn - I mean
really learn, not be trained, not be programmed, but
learn-then it is not a good idea. What would be a good
idea would be precisely what you said: that the kid walks
into school and takes what he wants to take.

WATSON:

But supposing he doesn't want to take anything.
I don't know how well disciplined you are, but I know how
lazy I am. I think my inclination would be to walk into
the school and just get to know as many girls as I could.

FARBER: I think they have messed up your head. And I'll
tell you why. You remind me of the black person who reaIly believes he needs slavery and is uncomfortable about_
frying to do without it. He's afraid of being free. We
grow up thinking:
"16 they don't hold tho-6e gJta.du ove;r.
my head and i6 they don't c.oeJLc.e me, I won't get a.ny.thlng
done bec.au6 e I am la.z y. "

We mistake our slavish truculence, our slavish sluggishness for our real selves. Naturally you're lazy when you
are doing Mr. Charlie's wor~. I've never been lazy doing
my own work. I find as a teacher I am tremendously ener-

ucated"; then the Faculty is here to
teach us what they already know, and
(of course, this is all hypothetical)
then, the administration is here to
make sure that we have a place to
meet with our professors, to insure
that we have rest-rooms to go to when
we feel compelled, and to keep our
records in safe--keeping for us. As
is the case though, the administration is here to make things run
smoothly, to make sure that there ar~
enough people here so that the Govt
Grants will come through, to decide
on regulations to keep us in line and
finally, to decide what
we
should
take, what we should think &amp; when we
should think it.
It's like when I was a kid, and my
parents told me that the policeman
was my friend, he would take me home
if I was lost, and then the bubble
broke when I saw the policeman, my
friend remember, beating the shit out
of peaceful demonstrators; spraying

getic. I will stay up night and day doing something that
matters, solely because I want to. Nobody will know the
difference. I won't get into trouble for not having done
it.
I remember once I wanted to go in and talk about French
history. I did not know much about it. I read endless
books on French history just for one class. It was not
really a good class because I had too much information. I
dumped it all on them. The point is, I really worked because it was my work - I had the very best kind of reason
- my reason.

WATSON:

Let's talk about solutions. You talk about pushing down the walls and letting a little air in, letting
education into the street and the street into school. Do
the solutions have to be violent solutions?
FARBER: I'm non-violent. I don't believe you should hurt
~nyone, any time, for any reason. Sudden, yes. Absolutely
radical.
Let me go back to my metaphor of black people &amp; the civil
rights movement. We've been asking for sudden solutions &amp;
ev1:rybody always sa~s: "We.ll, yu we' Jte gol..ng .to do -6ome_.th,lng, but thue thlng-6 all.en' .t done oveJLnigh.t~ If you let
them go at their pace, they will never be done. It's only with this insistent pressure, with this impatience
which is characteristic of kids in college now, that any
change is happening.
I don't think it's inunature or romantic to ask for change
now. It may be immature to expect I am going to have it
tomor~ow morning. But would I change it if I coul~, would
I wish it could be changed by tomorrow morning? Of course
because I think it's a plague --- I think what passes for
education now is really a plague. I think its very dangerous. As a matter of fact, I think it's killing ,people.
It's killing p·eople in other countries by what kind of
citizens it is turning out in this country and the way in
which they participate in the country's decisions &amp; politics.
I thi»k it can change. A great many. people are unhappy
with education as it stands now. It's a question of realizing the power you've got. ' If students could ever realize the power they've got, they could change things very
,quickly.
They came very close to it at Berkeley , they just didn't
ask for enough. They &amp;ot what they asked, but at the time
they weren't wise enough to ask for what they should have
asked for. They asked for a voice in what happens on
campus. I don't see that there are curriculum planners so
wise that the students couldn't do just as well. Whatever
the students decided would be right because they decided
it. Just as what you choose to read, that's the right
thing to read because you want to read it, and what someone forces you to read - I'm not saying recommends - what
someone forces you to read· is not going to be the right
thing.

ARE THERE ANY?

mace over students, and,
being a proper bastard.

in general,

At the expense of the student, administrators keep their files neat and
tidy. "No, you. c.tin '.t .ta.k.e .tha;t c.ou.'1.,6 e

And what about the course in which
the professor's personal
political
views appear, be they reactionary or
revolutionary, and they happen to be
opposite my own?
What do I do then?
Do I chuck my own views out the window for the sake of a lousy course
credit, or do I write what I deem to
be true? It all depends on what you
want out of Lakehead University. If
you seek the paper after three years,
then you have to prostitute yourself
in order to get what you're after. On
the other hand you can tell the whole
establishment to go straight to hell

take off and get what you want
where. This, as a matter of fact, is
one of the prime arguments of a particular official here at Lakehead.
But what end .does that serve.
Why
not attempt to reform this University?
This is a young place, and change can
come easier here than many other universities across the country. Some of
us believe that it is worth the ·concerted effort to try it.
." PouU.n Awtvtd

As a show of support, let·' s
award
this to the person who burns down the
old Lakehead University and ·builds
the new one. That, I believe is truly
" contributing most· to the welfare of

Since we were stuck with it, we looked at its owner &amp; tried to understand
this rather unusual phenomenon. So we
looked carefully at her looking at us.
And as we looked we were astonished
at what we saw. She was beyond all
doubt a human being just like us. She
was also a frustrated woman living in
a hellish world without any love. She
was seething with a veom of frustra tion and we · saw in her a woma~ who
had, no doubt, never been loved, not
by parents, nor husband or children.
Within her, we felt a lynching mob,
the Ku Klux Klan, a zealous witchburner, a John Bircher and a hot-line
addict. But what we saw was just
another misdirected life. For this
poor woman, with all her frustrated
energy, even if she succeeded in burning Ray and a thousand others, would
never find one minute of peace and
happiness. Moreover because she would
not look within herself for her solutions, but thought she saw solutions
in attacking a person who was entirely a stranger to her, she would never
change and so she was doomed in her
hell, and she would never know why.
Though it may sound like we hated her
this woman seemed so victimized and
helpless that we felt compassion for
her. And I smiled at her and told herthat she was cute and that she was
filled with too much hate, and though
I thought these words would inflame
her ange!, she immediately abandoned
us, leaving us once again to our
dreams which were no longer on food.
She brought another memory to my mind
and I remembered the Be-In held a
month ago in Waverley Park. And I
remembered a policeman climbing up on
the platform to tell the kids to turn
the music down as it bothered the patients in the hospital. The policeman's request seemed to be understandable, as the music was very loud and
the hospital was nearby

that would give them the excuse to

of the stu-

can exist side by side -- the
first, preparing people tor office jobs and the world of business, the other, for the vast
world of originality and creativity.
It could work out like
the Ontario College of Art in
Toronto which gives degrees and
produces connnercial artists and
designers for industry and The
Artists Work Shop, which, though
it does not give degrees, has
more prestige in the artist community and attracts people who
feel that their creativity had
been stifled at O.C.A., and if
you really have good ideas it

�uptotheHARDY NORTH
- by Deirdre Smythe

A joint effort on the part of the Anthropology and Biology Departments of
Lakehead University, under the direction of Ken Dawson and Tom Northcott,
sent a team of two students to Lake
Makokabatan on the Alba~y River - 150
miles straight north of Geraldton into the black fly infested bush. They
are studying the ecology of the landscape, taking notes on the- weather,
collecting plant specimens &amp; evidence
of Indian civilization. An all-encompassing survey, then.

One of the main purposes of the expedition is to study the ecology of the
area. They set up approximately 160
small snap traps in a campsite and
leave them for three days. Small mammals
shrews, mice &amp; squirrels are
disected &amp; preserved in various chemicals. ~tatistics are taken on the
vital organs of the animals. Shrew
ovaries &amp; squirrel stomachs! This is
done in a systematic manner so that a
comparison can be made between time &amp;
place. A similar study was conducted
last summer.

ANOTHER LETTER
The Students for a Democratic Society
are now being incorporated as part of
the Alma Mater Society of Lakehead U.
Members of the Students' Council and
executive are becoming members as
they feel that it is time for changes
to be made.
The coming year should prove very interesting and possibly winter might
be hotter than usual.
LONG LIVE THE
PROLETARIAN REVOLUTION!
Signed,
The M&lt;Uiked Avenge/I.,
·Verm.y the Red.

Exploring Lue archeology of the area
is also a responsibility of the crew.
They look for old trap lines, Hudson
Bay stores &amp; check out portage routes
for artifacts of the trading era.
Some primitive Indian pottery has
been found which is an important discovery, as it is definite evidence of
an advanced culture. Such a find is
unusual for the area.

Jim Dunstan and Garth Pentney, two
second year Arts students, are living
in a completely isolated situation
for a period of nine weeks. The Lands
and Forests float plane dropped them
off at Fort Hope, flew in supplies
once in the two month period and will
also bring them back to benevolent
mankind. They will have travelled 100
miles up the Albany, having had 10 or
11 different campsites and ending up
at Washi Lake.

The long term objectiv~s include a
comparison of the results on the land
before and after a study of ecology.
Success of the project may mean the
area will be inundated for the purpose of hydro electric power.
In such a scheme, the party of 2 suffers many dangers of isolation. The
Lands and Forests pilot keeps close
watch on a region covering 35,000 sq.
miles. The many accomplishments of
this survey could not have been carried through without the help that
the Lands and Forests has given.

CONTEST NOTE

Since the postal strike has negated
all . chances for you, our readers, to
participate in the latest thrilling
ARGUS contest , we will extend the
closing date for entries to thirty
days after the end of the strike. Besides, we've misplaced the pictures
that were printed in the last issue
with the profs names on the back, so,
we can't judge the contest anyway.
