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

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

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

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

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

The plan to produce such a guide on the Lakehead campus was initiated at the end of the last academic year by then Argus editor Don Colbome. He designed a questionnaire v.:hich was mailed to all students. The responses were collated by J eannetty Gall .whom the AMS appointed as Course Guide editor. Well and good. I accept that much time and effort has been expended in preparing this publication and that it was prepared with the best of intentions. Here I intend not to deal with the intentions or to discuss the merits or otherwise of course eva:luation; but I do intend to examine the ''Course Guide'' as it is published. Quite ineffective A publication as controversial and important as a course guide deserves extraordinary care in preparation. It is obvious that in the case of Lakehead's guide this care has not been taken. The finished result is sloppy, carelessly researched, and, in , its present fonn, quite ineffective. A few statistics may illustrate these points: Last year's Calendar listed over 300 courses; the "Course Guide" deals with only 158 courses. What happened to the rest? Of the 158 courses dealt with, the breakdown is: Insufficient response 71 No Response 52 No comment at all 7 Evaluated 28 .., Total 158 One can see, therefore, that the "Guide" evaluates less than 10% of courses offered . . Some departments, notably English, Anthropology, History, Economics, and Geography are not included at all in the "Course Guide". An editor's note mentions that "~e hope" to publish another edition of the "Guide" to include these. Under present circumstances, I hope not. i· -The "Course Guide" contains a total of 45 pages, including the difficult-to-describe cover. Of these 45 pages, only 15 are devoted .to course evaluation. •The first run of 500 copies is expected to be followed by a second run of 1,000 copies. This will involve a total cost of about $675. And a supplemental edition, too? I· I Few courses evaluated These points go some way to demonstrate the ineffectiveness of the publication .. .it simply does not evaluate enough courses Course in Local Government Planned Aspirants for municipal off. ice at any level, incumbent members of elected bodies, those interested in learning the structure of civic government, university and high school stu( dents .. are invited to take a six-week course, one evening a week beginning early in Octber at Lakehead University. r Sponsors of the course are the Ontario Conference on Local Government, Lakehead University and the Lakehead Chamber of Commerce. Consult the main notice boards, opposite the Information Booth for times of all happenings. The chairman of the Conference on Local Government, J.T.A. Wilson of Toronto, commented the course had been held successfully in Peterborough and Brantford and more Ontario communities were adopting the project. The main objectives behind the program were: : To interest the citizenship generally in municipal affairs by increasing their general knowledge in this area; : To provide knowledge to those who would serve on public bodies, either elected or appointed; : To encourage prospective high calibre candidates to serve in their municipal governments in one form or another. Mr. Wilson was pleased to announce that the Peterborough Trades and Latour made it a general principle that it would not support a candidate for civic office unless he or she had taken the course. President of Lakehead University, Dr. W.G. Tamblyn voiced his complete support of the six-week conference study to give people the opportunity to learn more about the concepts of government at the local level. Dr. C.M. Johnston, Lakehead Chamber of Commerce president, said the Chamber was pleased to be associated with sponsor~ip of the course. He stressed the course was be- ing offered to anyone in all walks of life . . not just for business and professional people. Introducing �September 18, 1967 Page 7 THE ARGUS FROSH WEEK SCHEDULE A Few Notes to Freshmen (and Seniors too) admittance to You will note that the headline of this blurb does not discriminate in any way, shape, or form against one or another of the two groups which this week, more than any other week of the next eight months, will be separated not only in all of their activities, but also in the thoughts of the students at the university. And there is a purpose behind this little piece of desegregation. Tomorrow, at high noon, (or twelve semicolon zero zero if you prefer) the most important meeting of this entire first week will take place. You may think that the different faculty assemblies were important. That is where you are mistaken. The faculties could manage, and probably quite well, without those meetings. But the organization this meeting at noon tomorrow concerns (the organization most often called Lakehead University's most important society) cannot, and I stress, cannot function in the corning year without the support and help of the entire student body, and that means YOU.· Of course the organization which I am referring to is the ARGUS, student newspaper of your university, full member in Canadian University Press, and the ship that only your support will keep from sinking (great mixed metaphor or something).

Unfortunately there will be no admittance allowed to people other than these, since there is a limit on the number of people the Ski Club management will allow in. However, the Science and University Schools Weiner Roast at Chippewa has no restrictions on attendance other than the usual confining of the activity to university students. The necessity of buttons must be stressed. since they are the tickets for admission. On Wednesday the societies have banded together to sponsor a full-length feature film, Walk on the Wild Side, on campus. The film will be shown in room 1039 (or the snake pit as we .are used to calling it) starting at 8:00 p.rn. The University Schools and Science types have really outdone themselves on the Thursday night action. Have you evef heard of a Volkswagon push? Well you have now. All the way from the University to the Fort William Gardens, with the society Presidents and the Princess candidates inside. (Also an ARGUS repcrter as "chaperone" in each car). Then there will be Roller Skating starting at 8:00 p.rn. Cheap. The Frosh Princess will be crowned atthe Roller Skating. The big nights are Friday and Saturday, if you are judging by the calibre of the entertainers. The Gettysberg Address will perform both nights beginning at 9:00 p.rn. AMS president Peter Young told us that there will be only six hundred tickets available for these dances (six hundred per night) owing to fire marshal's orders. Take the appropriate steps to make sure that you are not one of those left sitting forlornly on the steps of the University Centre only listening to the Gettysberg Address . the address Good morning. It is my privilege to be able to address you for a few minutes this morning. You know, I make this address to firstyear students every year, but my heart never fails to swell with pride as I look over the mass of eager, ignorant and anonymous faces, and I never fail to feel proud that so many students care to fill our coffers with their hardly-earned dollars. And your presence will enhance rny .. .. your ... . university, and we shall get more research grants which will give us a good name, and more and more dollar~ from the surrounding community and local mdustries which are so close to our pockets .. . hearts. You know, this is our university; it is as much yours as mine - well, nearly as much, anyway. Because here we are one big happy family, no matter whether we are administration, faculty, or . .. or ... ah ... students. But as you know, every family .. well, nearly every family, anyway .. has a father, and you should look upon me as a father; and every family has a mother . . and that is the registrar and the director of finance and the director of admissions and the comptroller and . .. well, you know, all those people; and ... where was I? Ah, yes... every family has big brothers and sisters to look after the little ones, and these .. the big brothers and sisters, that is .. are the faculty; and you ... well, you are the babies of the family. But you shouldn't think that we think that you are inferior. Oh no. Because we are all babies at one time or another, aren't we? .. well, most ofus, anyway. Now, I want to say a word or two .. well, quite a few words actually • about why you have come to university. This may seem strange, because no doubt you think you know why you are here. But father does know best, doesn't he? Where was I? Ah yes ... why you're here. Well, of course , it's obvious that you're here to get a degree. Some of you may get educated in the process, but that can't be helped; a few of you always slip through. But as I ~a;; : going to say about degrees .. what a difference those letters B.A. or B.S. mean after your name! Do you realize .. I'm sure you all do .. that those two little letters can mean a difference of thousands of dollars after you graduate? My word, yes! Of course, while you're here, you may hear a lot of talk about a "community of scholars" and a "search for knowledge and truth" .. but a word of warning. Look at the people who talk about these things. Nearly always they have long hair and beards and buttons about Vietnam and they're the sort of people .who are always demonstrating and if they don't have long hair and placards, why, then it's obvious that they are pretending to be what they are not and we aren't stupid enough to be fooled by them, are we? Of course we are. Besides, these people probably couldn't define "knowledge" and "truth" if you asked them. And besides, things such as knowledge and truth are alien to our society and are for misfits to talk about aren't they? Of course they are. Which brings me to the next point I want to make .. and it's a rather important point, too. We must at all costs keep good relations with the surrounding community. Some stu-• dents .. and I must stress that they are a ra• ther silly minority .. don't seem to realize how much we rely on the community for our very existence. Where would our building programme be without outside support? And our student housing? And the transportation situation? Yes, we have much for which to be thankful. So we must be very careful and be on our best behaviour when we are on display, and that is all the time. Well, I'll say no more about that now. Probably later in the year. Oops! I'll have to cut my address shortly because I have a meeting with the Board of Govemcrs in a few minutes, and I can't waste my time talking to you stupid frosh, can I? But what a pity we can't continue this discussion, because it's so interesting, and besides this exchange of ideas is so valuable, isn't it?

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

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

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

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

'hopefully before the end of Centennial Year! Plans for an $840,000 athletic building were unveiled August 4 by Lakehead University PresidentDr. W.G. Tamblyn. The huge gymnasium complex will accommodate 2,200 persons for basketball games and 3,200 for non-athletic events, Thus it will be the largest gymnasium-auditorium building in Northwestern Ontario, far eclipsing the seating capacity of Lakeview High School and the Lakehead Exhibition Coliseum. Lakeview seats 1,500 the Coliseum, 1,800. The firstof a long range, three phaseprogram of athletic buildings, the field house will take the form of a steel girder-concrete block gymnasium complex. The complex will house equipment rooms, locker rooms, showers, offices, and an athletic library as well as. the gymnasium. . Although the gymnasium's purpose is to accommodate the majority of the University's athletic program, this will not be its sole use. It 'is the University's hope that this building will become the neutral floorfor athletic competitions in NorthwesternOntario. Furthermore, many regional non-athletic activities, such as the Science Fair, conventions, art shows, convocation and concerts could be held in the building. It will differ from the standard athletic gymnasium in that, spectators entering at ground level will be 12 feet above the gymnasium floor and hence walk down to their seats. Seating capacity will be 1,400 in the fold-away bleachers with additional standing room for 800. When a non-athletic event is scheduled the gym floor space can 'be utilized to seat a further 1,000 people.

Intramural points are accumulated on a participation basis, plus the standing of teams in the individual events. Each group can have as many teams and as many participants in individual sports as they desire. A complete breakdown of the point system will follow in another edition of the ARGUS. The following are the sports events scheduled for the fall term: Golf The last signing date for the Intramural Tournament is September 29, 1967.

It is expected that all persons anticipating playing intercollegiate sports will be present, as well as others interested. Fastballers Fare Well In the maiden season of the Nor'Westers Fastball team in the Intermediate League, they have fared well. After a slow start the L.U. squad battled their way to convincing wins over Videon and Great Lakes. By the end of the regular schedule Lakehead had tied with Videon for the fourth and final playoff spot. The Nor'Westers then went on to defeat Videon three to two to attain the playoff berth. Videon, an established club, did not make the playoffs because they could not beat the young Nor'Westers. L.U. won five . of the six games played between the two clubs in regular season play. In the semi-finals, Lakehead met the Great Lakes Papermen and forced the best-of-five series to the limit before losing the series three to two with one game tied. The Papermen, who eventually won the Intermediate crown, admitted that ~he Nor'Westers gave them the most trouble. RIGHT OUT? "It is the hope of the ·Athletic Department that this Field House will become the sports centre of all athletics and athletic events in Northwestern Ontario," said acting Athletic Director Henry Akerval. "This building is the first in a series that eventually will encompass facilities for every major competitive sport played at the University level, and all sports played primarily for recreation. These facilities will be used on a year round basis, and unless they are being used directly by the University, they will be available to others for tournaments and championship games." The long-range plan of new facilities brings up the distinct possibility, Mr. Akerval predicted, that national and even international sporting events could come to the Lakehead. "Our central location has always been a major asset in hosting sports events," he added. "This may all be speculation at the moment but it is a distinct possibility in the future as facilities expand to meet the needs of our campus and our area."

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

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

John Lynn (Canadian University Press) MONTREAL (CUP)-Two weeks ago the McGill Dail(y reprinted an article from the satirical Realist magazine which Principal H. Rocke Robertson judged to be "obscene libel." Three students - Daily Editor-in-Chief Peter Allnutt, Supplement Editor Pierre Fournier, and Supplement columnist John Fekete, under whose column the article appeared - were asked to appear before the senate discipline committee, facing possible expulsion. From this initial action sleep-ins, violence, arrests, and total academic upheaval of the university have resuited. The issues in the contro-versy are unclear, mainly because different campus groups either place one issue above the other, or interpret issues in ,contrary ways, or mix issues together. The result is intellectual chaos. ..OBSCENE "--.... - - •• The original administration charge of "publishing an obscene libel" was dropped after considerable pressure by campus intellectuals. The rebuttal was best illustrated by a four-page tabloid issued Monday, Nov. 6 after Robertson had laid charges Saturday. The en- tire front page said simply: "This paper contains obscene libel." Page two carried the complete Realist article. Page. three carried eight lines from Chaucer's Pardoner's Tale, replete with four-letter words, and an exerpt from "A 114odest Proposal" by Jonathan Swift which reads in part: "A child will make two dishes at an entertainment for friends; and V{hen the family dines alone, the fore or hind quarter will make a reasonable dish, and seasoned with a little pepper or salt win be very good boiled on the fourth day, especially in winter." Yes. dear reader. Swift wrote of chllclren being eaten. lm't it cl.lapdlq? Is it W.rature? Is the RNUaJ lllerature? The same page contained a definition of obscenity by John M. Woolsey, U.S. District Judge: "The meaning of the word 'obscene' as legally defined by the Court is: tending to stir the ·sex impulses or lead . to sexually impure and 1 u s t f u 1 thoughts . . ." The passage from the Realist, professors and students agree, cannot be considered an aphrodisiac. (cont'd page 5) Statement from Executive Committee of AMS to the student body of Lakehead University We regret the ll'eSignation of Mr. Peter Young at such a late date because of the loss of experience. However, we feel that because of the strong disapproval shown by the student body concerning Mr. Young's position as President of the Alma Mater Society, we can now progress with our duties and accomplish the goals we have laid down. Mr. Young's acceptance of a position with a local radio station •is one which should be recognized as a step • towards his post-university career an opportunity that arose at an unfortunate time for us. Nonetheless, his new position must be recognized for its merits. Mr. Young has expressed his willingness to assist the executive in an advisory capacity in the future. Council asks for resignation President has no alternative but to resign The President of the AMS has resigned. Peter Young stated in a letter to the Alma Mater Society last Thunclay that he had no aliemative but to resign hia position as bead of the 1700 students on campus. Wednesday night. Council tabled a motion asking for the President's resignation. the motion to be voted on at emergency meeting Thursday at noon. Council was presented with Mr. Young's resignation when they met Thursday. The discussion that followed was trying on all those present. Mixed feelings towards the wording of the resignation was a major issue. Mr. Young was not In attendance. An insult to Council "Academics are always first in the minds of any student in office," said Science President Don Bergman, and this unwritten rule should stick here also. Unless there is a personal reason for the resignation, I don't think in this case it is valid. The idea of takng another job I woud regard as an insult to this Council." ''We cannot accept this resignation," said Wendy Ticknor. "It is the easy way out. It does not set an example for those who will follow. It is the duty of this Council to stand firm, and to ask for his resignation. We must think of the future." Not what asked for Said Julie Wierzbicki, "The resignation that we have before us is completely opposite to what we want. We should ask for his resignation for the reasons outlined in the motion, not for his reasons. It looks like the presidency will not get him ves:Y far, so it has served its purpose." "It is unfair that Mr. Young is not here to defend himself at this meeting," said Don Cordingly. "But we did give him the opportunity to appear before us. Still" we have to discuss this motion and come up with a solution. Cannot be used as tool "Up until now, resignations have been caused by academic problems - we have averaged one per week in the last few weeks. This resignation of his is a gentleman's way out. Peter is going out in glory. He got our vote of confidence at the first meeting of the year, and has since· shafted the Council and the students. We should go on record as stating that this is no way to get out of office. We cannot allow it (the presidency) to be used as a tool for a person's own tuture." Admitted has not done job "It was my suggestion that Peter did not come to this meeting," said . Vice President Bill Weiler. "I had hoped that his resignation would be accepted. I had hoped that we would not hit upon personalities. He has admitted in a way in his resignation that he has not done the _job." ''The whole point of asking for the resignation is to show that we cannot allow a person to resign on his own will in the middle of the year," said Dave Parsons. Chief Proctor Tom MacLeod said "The first and foremost objective should be to try to set up a good executive." Treasurer Don Lees spoke to Council against the way in which the motion was worded. Mr. Lees noted that, although a person may realize that there are certain responsibilities inherent in the position of AMS President, it is not until one actually gets into office that he can see the extent of the job. Apparently Mr. Young did the job as he saw it, and did it to the best of his ability. Unfortunately what he did was not what the students expected of him. Talked out of resigning before Mr. Lees also noted that Mr. Young had been presented with ultimatums to See page 3 for the letter of resignation a.nd Young's reflections reform his ways several times in the past few months by persons who had confidence in him. They were also concerned for the situation that would be caused if he did not improve. It was further pointed out that the resignation was not put forth on a conflict motive. Not was it due to the constant criticism under which the executive has been subjected in the past. Responsibility to self Mr. Lees pointed to the last. part of the President's letter for the crux of the issue. A man must respect himself to be able to do a good job. Obviously he was not doing the job as he would have liked to have done, and he felt that to do justice to the students and to himself be had to resign. When a man with such a responsibility wants to get out for reasons like these, he should do so. This latest resignation from executive positions leaves only one member of the executive from last spring's election, Don.. ;.._j Lees, Treasurer. Vice President Bill. Weiler was elected in the fall by-election, while Secretary Joan Stewart was elected by Council, in accordance with the AMS Constitution. Weiler assumes post Mr. Weiler will assume duties as President as soon as possible. Council gave him a vote of confidence at the Thursday meeting. A Vice President will be elected by Council at their next meeting. �Page 2 November 23, '1967 THE ARGUS Nemissa NOP club Club Notes Hear Rev.

At this meeting, when he was not clowning around, Mr. Wesley presented an interesting and informative summary of his thesis, re-vealing not only his capabilities as a psychologist but also showing he is a man with some initiative. His image of "God" caused by the isolation a n d "take-it-orleave-it" policy of his lectures was completely shattered.

Returning to his thesis Mr. Wesley presented the peculiarities and regularities in the behaviour of rats, as well as a notable confliction with accepted methods of study. This confliction, in theory, tends to nullify many conclusions of psychologists in the behaviour pattern field. • Unfortunately the majority of the psychology students see Mr. Wesley as an inanimate machine spouting data processing cards which we interpret as lectures. Contrary to popular opinion, this is a false concept.

Alma Mater Society c/o Mr. Bill Weiler Vice -President Please forward my official resignation to the Alma Mater Society Council. In presenting this resignation to Council, I would ask that you point out the following clarifications. My resignation is not coming forth because of a conflict within the executive nor because I feel that I cannot work with the Council Also, I do not wan~ students to feel that I am resigning because of the constant criticism that is directed toward the AMS executive. Constructive criticism is usually justified and although we haven't seen much of it this year it usually indicates a valuable means for improvement. It should also be made known that I am not resigning because of the motion brought forth in the AMSmeetingofNov. 15th. The reason for the delay in making known my intentions is that I was waiting to see if a motion pertaining to noon-hour meetings would be brought forth. The reason therefore is that I have accepted employment which would make it impossible to attend meetings on week nights. Because of this employment. Idonot feel that I could devote as much time to the office of president as is necessary. I feel that Mr. Weiler can more than adequately head the Council and the executive for the remaining three months. I also contend that more is accomplished outside of meetings. In this regard I will continue to work at anything that the executive feels is important. I submit this resignation with deep regret but feel that I have a responsibilityto myself as well as the students of lakehead University. Sincerely, Peter A, Young In my election platform, my point was better public relations for the student body. I think we have accomplished this. There are other things which have been done so far this year. We have had caution fees abolished. The first contact with the faculty association regarding tutorial work has been made. We have token representation on the Senate and Board of Governors. We are at present planning tl\,e symposium on U n i v e r s i t y government, something which could easily be the greatest thing that has ever happened to this Universicy-. We held the fiirst AMS seminar this fall. And we have caused registration procedure to be revised, subject to student approval. Socially, I can say that this year's frosh week and folk festival were the best so far. We also have a more varied programme laid on than last year. Our blood donor clinic should show the Lakehead, at least in a· minor way, that we are not just a radical group in general but responsible citizens. And we have achieved a cautious high in relations between the AMS and the Administration. But we haven't yet been able to make students aware of student government. The executive positions are important enough that case. This is also why I think by Peter Young students going to Congresses, as told to Chuck Grieve etc., should be those interpeople should be geared for them. This year three of the four elected have resigned since none knew anything about student government. They had to learn in six months what others had learned in two years. I also think that the elections should be run as they are at Queen's. There the executive is elected by the previous year's Council. T)lere is more certainty of getting a good executive this way. I •am in the process of re-organizing my thoughts on s t u d e n t government. What we considered to be dictatorial rule last year, I am now almost convinced, is what is needed around here. And I feel that Council is too big to work with efficiency. Being out of it for a while, I will be able to look objectively at the situation, and to criticize constructively. One of the main things that people running for office are not aware of, is the great amount of time required. Perhaps it is even enough to warrant the sus:pension of classes for a year for the President. And dedication is needed. If a person was to follow the hierarchical steps, then dedication would be there at the start, and not towards the end of August as in my Join the ·Colle,• Crowd! ested, and those willing to put in time the next year. My mind is still not settled over what two former Presidents of Lakehead U. said, that student government seems very important when you are in office, but it seems important only to yourself and not to others when you leave office. It makes me wonder if students really care who and h ow their affairs are handled. ~: The key to success right now may be in a new structure, perhaps along the lines of that used at York. The interested few percent, those known as t¥ left and the radicals, should be in charge of the student government. The ordinary student is there to get a degree and to go to social events. So let him, and let the interested ones :run the show. A system like this would bring o u r student government up to par with the rest of them. Up until now we have been far below them. And this could be the key. I regret leaving office. J(ow I am more confused about student government. its value. and of the minority of persons interested in it than before. & RESEARCl-f dEvElopMENT Everyone gathers at the . ?

We will overcome It takes a lot of guts to admit one's faults, and to get out of the way so that someone else can take over. It is true that Peter Young's resignation had been stalled off for some time. It is true that forces had been working on him for a similar period of time, trying to get him to shape up. And it is t1 ue that neither of these forces ( often the same people) had left any impression on the lion's brow. But no one acted when the results de.-. mantled were not forthcoming. No one knew how to act. And still no one knows how to cope with a situation such as this latest one. What Council was looking for at their emer- • gency meeting was blood. They wanted a crucifixion of a personality, not a resignation, as the original motion called for. The Council wanted to bury the old ways with the purge of but one actor from the cast. But what they proved themselves incapable of seeing, as they have time and again, is that the purge, to be effective, must get rid of all the dead wood. And they are a part of it. . COMMITTEES MUST BE USED If the rot is so widespread as it would appear to be to the casual observer ( and they are in plentitude at Lakehead), then there must be reasons for it, ancl similarly solutions. The AMS Council works on a committee system. But they do not. They appear to meet together on Wednesday nights to argue over the little points which should have been ironed out in their committees. In fact, at times they vote against their committees' decisions. To function properly in this system, everyone cannot have both hands and both feet in all the pies at the same time. The committees must be given more authority, and greater confidence in their decisions. EXPERIENCE IS THE TUTOR But the committee system works well only when there are people on the individual bodies who have had some experience. And Lakehead has a problem of inexperience or ineligibility among aspirants for positions. The prime example is the Engineering faculty, where members take only one year here if they are successful. And if they are experienced but unsuccessful, they are ineligible, due to the academic ruling. The only solution - and it has been achieved to some extent this year-is to mix the experience liberally with the inexperience in hopes that the resultant blend will be a winner. This we have potentially this year, if Council would only use the committees more. CONTACT ESSENTIAL But Council is not alone in its shame. Representatives cease to represent anyone but themselves if they lose touch with their electorate. It is very debatable who should keep the channels of communication openthe councillors or the student body. It is our belief that when Council operates efficiently, those involved on one end do not have the time to be fully involved on the other end as well. So the onus is back on the ordinary student -on the one who is not in any way involved. It is this student who is kicking in the spokes of the whole wheel. And it is this student who is 1he ultimate source of the rot apparent in Council. Perhaps student government is too large and abstract a concept for most students to grasp. After all, they have completed only 13 years in a system which revels in preaching these gems of abstrusion. Then there aie those who become restless after they have sat through the firs't hour of a Council meeting. To these people we say, Chief Justice Baumann was great at the last meeting. And to the Council we say, if you do not keep him as Chairman, you need your heads examined. PERPETUATION THE TOP PRIORITY But by far the greatest problem faced is that of perpetuation. If a system is a good one, one of the characteristics will be this training of successors. Tocheri was the product of just such a programme. But he failed to set another one up, perhaps because he wanted those who followed to see just how great he had been, and to wish him back again. Peter Young was the unfortunate victim of this oversight. And he has suffered, and he has not done the job. Both these past two presidents have been asked to resign by Council. Only one, the ungroomed one, went. We contend that our system is a good one. Therefore it must be perpetuated. Forget the old line of "everyone has a chance" -it is not true. You only have a chance if you are willing to give it all you have. And if you really want to know what is going on, then find out. If you do not like what is happening. get in and change it. AMS means you, not the councillors. You elected them. Through them, you run the show. -cg. Bill Weiler, AMS President letter to the editor Sir: I came across a copy of your paper while attending night classes at the University of Toronto. I was impressed by an article on Technocracy written by Mr. William Sheridan. I have been in contact with Technocracy from time to time through my life and I am glad that at least some of our youth are interested in finding a solution to the many problems . facing our society. For some time it has appeared strange to me that all levels of government, business and the private sector of society are all going into debt at an ever increasing rate and we still call it prosperity. We have the spectre of the American government drafting 30,000 men a month to solve its unemployment problem and shipping $80 million worth of goods and services out to Viet Nam to solve the problem of overproduction. The National endeavour to keep everybody working is creating more and more useless jobs, more •and more pollution, more and more waste and a greater and greater incidence of mental problems. It would -appear to me that finding ways to do away with jobs, creating a more equitable distribution system for' goods and services and reducing th e amount of waste would be far more intelligent than the method of operation used at present. However, I am aware that when we live in a society -where the prime motivation is to turn natural resources into dollars, and the more we waste the more profit we make, conditions can only deteriorate at an ever increasing rate. Therefore if Mr. Sheridan would be kind enough to send me some literature and information on how to join this organization c a 11 e d Technocracy I would like to assist in the work of informing my friends and acquaintances of the approaching collapse of the ;>resent form of North American society and the alternative offered by a scientific and technological solution to our problems. Yours truly, Walter G. ,Spademan just a modest, unbiased suggestion by Ron Perry "Old men start wars; young men fight them." Although this has become a cliche, it is, nonetheless, very true today. In years gone by, the young men ran like dogs when their elders whistled for them to fight the wars they had started. Only this generation seems to have found the nerve to say, "No;" to the master's voice. The results ot this refusal can be seen almost any evening in the newcasts on tele-vision. DRAFT THE AGED Last night, while throwing darts at a picture of L.B.J., I chanced on a solution to the whole problem. Since the middle - agers started this war and since the polls show that they are the ones in favor of continuing it, why not let them fight it? Instead of dragging reluctant youths overseas, why not gather together the aging remnants of the Second World War (they never let us forget it, do they?) and let them be heroes all over again. BREAK THE MONOTONY This isn't as radical as it first appears. The average middle-ager faced with a boring job, selfish kids, a 30-year mortgage, and a fat wife with hair curlers and halitosis, would probably jump at the chance to grab a gun and play soldier again. Why not let him get his jollies like this instead of forcing him to gain his only excitement f r o m reading Junior's Playboy (w hi I e Junior's out getting the real thing) or by leering at teenyboppers in miniskirts? This would leave the young free to enjoy the things only they can enjoy without the oldies looking on, outwardly condemning but secretly envying. ECONOMICALLY SOUND And from a cold financial viewpoint, this would be profitable also. A man of 20 has 45 productive years ahead. These of course are lost if he is killed. A middle-ager, who's going to croak in a f e w years anyway does not represent anywhere near such a loss. These are the advantages of this proposal, and since this is obviously biased, I won't go into the Qisadvantages. So, how about it, Lyndon? Why not start drafting the heart attack and ulcer set. Drag the execs. from their offices and the working slobs from the beer parlors and leave • us young ones with our long-haired honeys and Hondas. You have nothing to lose. We won't go anyway! �November 23, '1967 THE ARGUS Page S- The McGill Daily affair - cont'd from page 1 Don Colbome It is undoubtedly this kind of argument, applied to the Principal publicly through newspaper and pamphlets, and, one can assume, privately, which led to the change in the wording of the char~, avoiding the "obscene libel" question entirely. FREEDOM OF THE PRESS The second issue which cropped up was freedom of the press. At the first level one had to determine if the Daily editors were to have newspaper policy dictated by either student council or the administration. On this subject Principal H. Rocke Robertson told student council Nov. 6: "Editorial freedom does not mean the right to be unaware of consequences. And if these consequences seem to bring the university's good name into disrepute, then the authorities must take whatever action is necessary to see that the university is protected and to bring any serious breach to the attention of the whole university community." He then, felt the ultimate responsibility rests with the administration. This is contrary to the Charter of the student press in Canada, which states; Whereas freedom of the This column continues the series on the issues underlying the student power debate. It will attempt to touch upon the question of- what philosophy of education should be adopted to deal with present and future university needs. Unfortunately, there are as many philosophies of education as there are philosophers; and as there are educators. Every society and every period of history has evolved a distinct set of educational ideas and it would be pointless, let alone impossible, to outline them here. It would also be impossible to suggest precisely what philosophy is operating here and now, for there are obviously at least several. I shall attempt instead to challenge three basic hypotheses regarding university which have apparently coloured almost ~very recent philosophy. They deal with the purpose, organization, and responsibilities of the institution. Initially, it has always been supposed that the university continues the acculturaliiing process begun in the~ home and previous schooling, and demanded by S()ciety as a whole. A ~ce at any text in, for example, Political Science or Social Thought reveals that the university continues to do an effective job in this area. But should it? Many such courses are nothing more than warmed-over middle-class-orientated apologies for the status quo. McLuhan might not have it all figured out but his "global village" concept contains a great deal of very immediate truth, and it seems particularly absurd in the present day to continue training apologists for our own comer of the village, and narrow critics who mistrust and misunderstand the rest of it. It is long past the time students stopped being acculturalized and started to become DEculturalized. As Dr. M. Lewis of Sir student press h a • been George Williams University recently put it: "When we see our students displaying certain dissatisfaction with our universities, • its because they find them irrelevant to the world." Another supposition which has been common to most educational philqsophies is that the student must be coerced into achieving. Recent psxchological studies and dozens of experimental schools have illustrated that this is a myth of the Santa Claus variety, convenient and venerable, but not true. Students produce as well or even better when they are not under threat, yet here at Lakehead, students MUST attend lectures, submit papers, take specific courses, etc., etc. In this sense Paul Goodman calls the university student the most significant group of the modern "dispossessed," and an American professor writing in Esquire magazine claims that the sooner students realize they are treated as "niggers" the better off they will be. One of the stock excuses offered by the defenders of our universities (incidentally there are very few even within the system who deny that grave problems exist) is that they are dependent upon the community, and particularly the corporations, for financial support and cannot sanction anything which might threaten that support. John Galbraith, however, in his new book "The Modem Industrial State" asserts that the universities are being all too slow in discovering that the corporations are far more dependent upon them than they are on the corporations. The university can take as independent a role as it chooses when it realizes this fact. It is clear then that the traditional ideas regarding not only the universities' purpose, but its organization and responsibilities That's one of many are becoming rapidly obsolescent. The university cannot continue exciting and rewarding "lecturing on navigation while the ship goes down." careers in the field of Next week: J::he Purpose of the University. INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT ?

A new issue, bad faith, had been created, to be drawn in true red herring fashion across the whole affair. THE FINAL ISSUE The final issue - what is it? The faculty tried to answer this question in a huge open forum Friday. Prof. Charles Taylor vaguely suggested two distinct •issues: The Daily affair, and student autonomy in them- own affairs. But few others were able to face issues even this squarely. The issues will continue this week and next, with no end in sight. The total effect on the McGill campus has been to thoroughly confuse most people at all levels of the university with varying interpretations of the various• events. It is not possible to conclude at this point that any order at all will emerge from the McGill chaos - just new issues, or new interpretations of old ones. MORE CRESTED GLASSWARE I. u. bookstore �Page 6 Students are niggers. When you get that straight, our schools begin to make sense. It's more important, though, to understand why they're niggers. If we follow that question seriously, it will lead us· past the zone of academic bullshit, where dedicated teachers pass their knowledge on to a new generation, and into the nltty-gdtty of human needs and hangups. From there we can go on to consider whether it might ever «>e possible for students to come up from slavery. First, look at the role students play in what we like to call education. At Cal State where I teach, the _ students have separate and unequal dining facilities. If I bring a student into the faculty dining room, my colleagues get uncomfortable, as though there were a bad smell. If I eat in the student cafeteria, I become known as the educational equivalent of a ''nig1erlover". In at least one building there are even rest rooms which students may not use. Also there is an unwritten law barring student-faculty lovemaking. Fortunately, this. anti-miscegenation law, like its Southern counterpart, is not 100.per cent effective. CHOOSE HOMECOMING QUEEN Students at Cal State are politically disenfranchised. They are in an academic 'Lowndes County. Most of them can vote in national elections - their average age is about 26 - «iut they have no voice in the decisions which affect their academic lives. The students are, it is true, allowed to have a toy government of their own. It is a government run, for the most part, by Uncle Toms, concerned principally with trivia. The faculty and administrators decide what courses will be offered; the students get to choose their own Homecoming Queen. Occasionally, when student leaders . get uppity and rebellious, they're either ignored, put off with trivial conces&ions, or maneuvered expertly out of position. A student at Cal State is expected to know bis place. He calls a faculty member "Sir" or "Doctor'' or "Professor' and he smiles and shuffles some as he stands outside the professor!s office waiting for permission to enter. The faculty tell him what courses to take (in my department, English, even el~ves ..., have to be approved by a faculty member); they tell him what to read, what to write, and ,frequently, where to set the margins on his typewriter. They- tell him what's true and what isn't. Some teachers insist that they encourage dissent but they're almost always jiving and evfry student knows it. Tell The Man what he wants to hear or he'll fall you. ~en a teacher says "jump" studen~ jump. I know of one professor who refused to take up class time for exams and required students to show up for tests at 6:30 in the mornh\g. And they did, by God I Another, at exam time, ,provides answer cards to be filled out - each one enclosed in a paper bag with a hole cut in the top to see through. Students stick their writing hands in the bags while t.aJdng the test. The teacher isn't a provo; I wu,b he were. He does it to prevent cheating. Another ~lleague once caught i:.. a student reading during one of his lectures and threw her book against 'the wall. SWl another Jee. tures his students into a stupor and then screams at them in rage when they fall aaleep. CWS IS NOT DISMISSED I During the first meeting of a class, one girl got up to .leave after about ten minutes had gone by. The teacher rushed over, grabbed her by the arm, saying "This class is not dismissed I" and led her back. to her seat. On the same •fay another teacher began by informing his class that he does not like beards, m1.19taches, long hair on boys, or capri pants on girls, and November THE ARGUS will not tolerate any of that in his class. The class, incidentally, consisted md'stly of high school teachers. Even more discouraging than this Auschwitz approach to education is the fact that the students take it. They haven•~ gone through twelve years of public school for nothing. They've learned one thing and perhaps only one thing during those twelve years. They've forgotten their algebra. They're hopelessly vague about chemistry and physics. They've grown to fear and resent literature. "nley write like they've betn lobotomized. I.But, Jezus, can they follow orders I Freshmen come up to me with an essay and ask if I want it folded and whether their name shqµld obe in the upper right hand comer. And I want to cry and kid them and caress th~ir poor, tortured heads. Students don't ask that orders make sense. They ·give up expecting things to make sense long before they leave elementary school. Things are true because the teacher says they're true. At a very early age we all learn to accept "two truths," as did certain medieval churchmen. Outside of class, things are true to your tongue, your finger, your stomach, your heart. Inside class, things are true by reason of authority. And that's just fine because you don't care anyway. !Miss Wiedemeyer tells you a noun is a person, place or thing. So let it be. You don't give a rat's ass; she doesn't give a rat's ass. SIRENS AND A RAfflE OF BULLETS The important thing is to please her. Back in kindergarten, you found out that teachers only love children who stand in nice straight lines. And that's where it's been at ever since. Nothing chan1es except to get worse. School becomes more and more obviously a prison. Last year I spoke to a student assembly at Manual IArts mgh -~oot and tlren couldn't get out of the goddamn school. I mean there was no way out. Locked doors. High fences. One of the inmates was trying to make it over a fence when he saw me coming and froze in panic. •For a moment, I expected sirens, a rattle of bullets, and him clawing the fence. 'lben there's the infamous "code of dress." In some high schools, if your skirt looks too short, you have to kneel before the principal, in a brief alleg01'1' of fellatio. If the hem doesn't reach the floor. you go home to change while he, presumably, jacks off. Boys in high school can't be too sloppy and they can't be too sharp. You'd think the school board would be delighted to see all the spades troophig to school in poinn, shoes, suits, ties and stingy brims. Uh-uh. They're too visible. What school amounts to, then, for wntte and black kids alike, is a 12-year course in how to ibe slaves. What else could explain what I see in a freshman class ? They've got that slave mentality; obliging and ingratiating on the surface but ,hostile and resfstent underneath. Like black slaves, students vary in their awareness of what's going on. Some recognize their own put-on for what it is and even let their rebellion break through to the surface now and then. Othersincluding most of the "good students" - have been more deeply brainwashed. They swallow the bullshit with gr~y mouths. They honest-to-God believe in grades, in busy work, in general education requirements. They're pathetically eager to be pushed around. They're like those old grey-headed house. niggers you can still find in the South who don't see what all the fuss is about because Mr. Charlie "treats us real good." 0 THEY CHEAT A LOT College entrance requirements .tend to favor the Toms and screen· out the rebels. Not entirely, of course. Some students at Cal State are expert con 23, ·1967 by Jerry Farber Farber teaches English in Los Angeles. artists who know perfectly well what's happening. They want the degree and spend their years on the old plantation alternately laughing and cursing as they play the game. If .t heir egos are strong enough, they cheat a lot. And, of course, even the Toms are angry down deep somewhere. But it comes out in passive rather than active aggression. They're unexplainably thick-witted and subject to frequent spells of laziness. They misread simple questions. Theyspend their nights mechanically outlining history chapters while meticulously failing to comprehend a word of what's in· front of them. The saddest cases among both black slaves and student slaves are the ones who have so thoroughly introjected their masters' values that their anger is all turned inward. At Cal State these are the kids for whom every low grade is torture, who stammer and. shake when they speak to a professor. They go through an emotional crisis every time they're called upon during class. You can recognize them easily at finals time. Their faces are festooned with fresh pimples; their bowels boil audibly across the roopi. If there really is a Last Judgment, then the parents and teachers who created these wrecks are going to •burn in hell. ' So student are niggers. Jt's time to find out why, and to do this, we have to take a long look at Mr. Charlie. The teachers I know best are college pFofessors. Outside the .classroom and taken as a group, their most striking characteristic is timidity. They're short on balls. Just look at their working condltlons. At a time when even migrant workers have begun to fight and win, college professors are still afraid to make more than a token effort to .improve their pitiful economic status. l'n California state colleges the faculties are screwed regularly and vigorously by the governor and legislature and yet they still won't offer any solid resistance. They lie flat on their stomachs with their pants down, mumbling catchphrases like "professional dignity'• and "meaningful dialogue." THEY COPPED OUT Professors were no different when I was an undergraduate at lJCLA during the 'McCarthy era; it was like a cattle stampede as they rushed to •cop out. And in more recent years, I found that my being arrested in sit-ins brought from my colleagues, nnt so mµch approval or condemnation as open-mouthed astonishment: "You could lose your.job!" Now, of course, there's the Vietnamese war. It . gets spme opposition from a few teachers. Some support it. But a vast number of professors, who know perfectly well what's happening, are copping out again. And in the high schools you can forget it. Stillness reigns. rm not sure why teachers are so chickenshit._ It could be that academic training itself forces a split between thought and action. It might also be that the tenured security of a teaching job attracts timid persons who are unsure of themselves and need weapons and other external trappings of authority. At any rate, teachers are short on balls. And, as Judy Einstein has eloquently pointed out, the classroom offers an artificial and protected environment in which they can exercise their will to power. Your neighbors may drive a better car; gas station attendants may intimidate you, your wife may dominate you; the state legislature may shit on you; but in the classroom, by God, students do what you sayor-else. The grade is a hell of a weapon. It may not �November 23, 1967 THE ARGUS Page 7 AS zrllllER ,,.

At Your personal whim-anytime you choos~ou can keep 35 students up for nights and have the "pleasure" of seeing them walk into the classroom pasty-faced and red-eyed carrying a sheaf of typewritten pages, with a title page, MLA footnotes and margins set at 15 and 91. Sex also· shows up in the classroom as academic subJect matter - sanitized and abstracted, thor:oughly divorced from feeling. You get "sex education" now in both high school and college classes: everyone determined not be embarrassed, to be very upto-date. These are the classes for which sex, as Feiffer puts it, "can be a beautiful thing if properly admin,stered." And then, of course, there's still another depressing manifestation of sex in the claJlsroom: the "off-color" teacher, who keeps bis class awake with sniggering sexual allusions, obscene titters and academic innuendo. The sexuality be purveys, it must be admitted, is at least better than none at all. UNDDNEATH THE Pffl'I.PANTS teacher announced that a 20-page term paper would be required-with footnotes.

MAKE THEM WILLING SLAVIS RESPECT FOR AUTHORITY The general timidity which causes teachers to make niggers of their students usually includes a more specific fear-fear of the students themselves. After all, students are different, just like black people. You stand exposed in front of them, knowillg that their interests, their values and their language are different from yours.

This statement, in reference to Vietnam, would scarcely be newsworthy coming from most sources. It sounds like one of the everincreasing number of voices decrying the American actions in Vietnam. VOICE FROM THE CLOISTERS This voice, however, is different. It comes from Rev. Ray Hord, Secretary of the Board of Evangelism and Social Service of the United Chwrch. Coming from the spokesman for an institution with the amazing (and disgusting) record for social apathy that Appolon #1 - . -f ::::r (I BREAKFAST SPECIAL (') ........ 0 (I (I Appolon #2 Bacon and Eggs, Toast and Jam, or 1 of 4 other selections 7 A.M. - 10 A.M. 50c (') c CT Bird's Restaurant ·-.

The U n it e d Church, while one of the more "liberal" churches, has for years followed a pallid, "me too" policy on almost all social issues. VIiEWS OPPOSED While Rev. Hord has met a good deal of opposition from within the church regarding his views - and he does not speak for all members of his church by any means - he is representative of a phenomenon which has appeared in the church in recent months, called The New Evangelism. T hi s amounts to an ecclesiastic version of the "generation gap." The young radical voices in most churches are fed up with the namby-pamby attitudes that their institutions have taken to social issues in the past. They feel that the churches, as keepers of the public morals, as it were, should take a long look at their attitudes. POSITIVE ACTION What are the actions taken up by these dedicated young men? Protesting the Vietnam situation is only one course, albeit a central and vital one. The others include agitation for liberalization of the abortion laws, education in birth control, civil rights, and many others. OLD CHURCH TREMBLES SOUL 4. SPAN AIO SIMPSON ST.

Poli.,.ical, l-lish,ricol ; Li...._, GIA~ TS What does the "older generation" in the cnurches have to say about all of this. The statement by United Church Moderator W. C. Lockhart, that Rev. Hord "commits the church to Tigid positions_, making manoeuverability difficult," very nearly typifies the attitude of the establishment in most churches. They dread being forced to take any kind of meaningful stand on an issue of social importance. They have dissociated the churches from the society they serve so that the church is largely irrevelent to the lives of most of today's young people. The New Evangelists feel, and perhaps rightly so, that churches must rejoin society, and soon, or they will cease to exist. "GET RELEVANT" The New Evangelism, as a reflection of the attitudes and values of North American youth in general, is delivering a sort of "get relevant or else" ultimatum to the establishment of all churches. In all respects it puts the churches in a position of uncertainty in the minds of the youth, making the churches' overall position in society unstable. The onus is now on the churches to reform, and to do it fast. They have a great potential for positive social action, but an equally great record for apathy so far. A liberal dose of social conscience is in order in their official policy, and soon, or the churches will wither and die under the weight of their own inertia. And the youth will shed no tears.

The Declaration of the Canadian Student is designed to cover one such specific need - the need of the student. knowledge," to learn "by sharing his perception and thought," to engage "in fundamental action," and to play "a full part . . . as a citizen." • By accepting this Declaration, Council has made us a part of it. It is now up to us to make it a working document. Though there are small points that can be questioned, the overall intention and meaning of the Declaration is surely justified.

Expand your horizons a little and meet more of your fellow students, especially those who think and feel differently than you. FUNDAMENTAL ACTION Be an activist. If you are bugged about parking, t h e academic atmosphere, student rights, cafeteria food and so on, do something. Don't worry about the ultimate success of your actions. If your cause is right, in your own opinion, then act on it. DEMOCRATIC REPRESENTATION We, through our present associations, and they, on their own initiative, ,hould work towards making representative bodies autonomous. They are, at present, subject to the Board of Governors as is their "legislation." If we are to attain "a community of scholars," this autonomy is essential. These are just a few suggestions. The Declaration of the Canadian Student offers many possibilities for more students. If we read it, discuss it, and use it, then we can make if.work. Education is a contributive social process, the essence of which is an expanding awareness of man's social and natural environment through dialogue and cooperative intellectual effort. The principal goal of education is to serve society by developing the full potential of all citizens as free, creative, thinking and acting human beings and therefore to serve society by helping to achieve equality of the essential conditions of human living. The student must discover, examine and assimilate the knowledge of his environment and must develop the ability to cope with and transform it. The Canadian Student has the right and duty to improve himself as a social being and to contribute -to the development of society by: b) learning by sharing his perceptions and thoughts with his fellow citizens and constructively criticizing theirs; c) engaging in fundamental action, as an individual or in a group, to confront society with discoveries and to promote consequent action to bring reforms into practice; d) playing a full part in the life of the community as a citizen. MEMORIAL at ONTARIO • PROCESSING ? The Canadian Student, as a full member of the academic community and society, has the right and duty to participate in shaping an environment conducive to the accomplishment of these aims and to make basic decisions about the conditions and nature of his intellectual activity and the goals served by educational institutions. The student has the duty to assure that the educational system is accessible and democratic so that it will serve the interests of the whole society. The Canadian Student has the right to be free to continue his education without any material, economic, social or psychological barriers, created by the absence of real equality of essential condition. of WHEREAS the Declaration of the Canadian Student, and all of the programs and policies of the members of the Canadian Union of Students are meaningful and effective only to the extent that they are understood and supported by the largest possible number of Canadian students.

Politicians cater to student needs and a great many of the active social movements are supported or run by students. In short, we are a distinct group. Now, distinct group, what does this Declaration mean to you? The Declaration states that "education is a contributive process" which expands your awareness of your environment. This cannot be denied, even by the lower cafeteria card players. Any new contact with a human being must produce an educational reaction of some sort. And that is what education is about. It is questionable that the "goal of education" is to serve society in any way. That may be society's purpose in having educational institutions and the systems they seem to entail. But it does not follow that the goal of education is in sympathy. The goal of education is too individual to be confined by such a definition. It is in fact, the "education" of the individual. This is one of the few points where the Declaration falls down. It smells of appeasement. With this phrase it can be acceptable to society and is in line with our "obligation orientated" ~ay of life.

For the Alumni it was Bob Elvin, again proving why he is considered the best basketball player to graduate from Lakehead Universj.ty, as the 6'3" forward hooped 12 points followed by Brian McKinnon with 6, and Dennis Lake with 4. In all, 10 of the-14 members of the Alumni team scored, as Jim Brownrigg substituted often during the game trying to keep the Nor'Westers fast break in check. The N or'Westers were Jed by Don Holmstrom with 18 points followed by Rob Cameron and Roy Holman who hooped 12 points each. This was the first of what will become an annual game between the Lakehead University Nor'Westers against their Basketball Alumni. The turnout by the Alumni was FLIGHT BOOTS PARKAS just great, and considering some hadn't picked up a basketball in several years they proved to be formidable. competition. Granted, they did not attempt to run the basketball as did the Nor'Westers but often their experience allowed them to take shots that the University Nor'Westers couldn1t anticipate.

They were missing some of their top goal scor-· ers Lack of practise was the main downfall of the Lakehead team. Most of the players had been on skates twice before the game, with the result that they were being caught up the ice while the Oilers had two or three man breaks on Wilkie. Lack of a coach also hell.ped to produce the appareni disorganization. Another bright spot in the game for the L.U. squad was the work done by the line of Tony Marsonet, Wayne Marostica, and Alan Holt. They were the Nor'Westers best checking line and their work led to the two goals scored. Both goals came on close in plays. Marostica and Marsonet scored, while Holt drew two assists.

With a slow start the Nor'Westers pulled into the lead after five minutes of the first half and were nevei headed. The Nor'Westers led at half-time 41 to 30 with Don Holmstrom scoring 20 points. In the second half Holmstrom cooled off but freshman guard Roy Holman, a P.A.C.I. product, maintained the pace with 10 field goals. Roy Holman was the leading scorer for the Nor'Westers with 26 points, followed by Holmstram's 24 and Bob Cameron's 10. The leading scorers for the Ken- tuckians were Nino Diblasio and Jim Brownrigg with 18 and 17 points respectively. The Nor'Westers made 34 of 101 shots for 34 percent while the Kentuckians made 25 of 70 for 35 percent. From the free throw line the Nor'Westers made 9 of 20 while the Kentuckians made 11 of 21, both rather poor marks. In the rebounding department the Nor'Westers led 66 to 51 over the Kentuckians. For Lakehead University it was Holmstrom with 22 and for Dinty's it was Love with' 20. Coach Birger was high in his praise of the Lakehead University squad, feeling that except for early season wrinkles his team played well. The freshman appear to be moulding with the veterans indicating a fine season for the Nor'Wester hoopsters. OLIVER ROAD ESSO SERVICE ED CLIFF For au ,_.

Marie, Ontario and to the Soo, Michigan, to take on teams from two different schools over the past weekend. The basketball team played the Caats from Cambrian College, while the hockey team met the Superior State College Lakers, across the border. Saturday saw the basketballers fall to the Caats by a score of 52 - 48. The Nor'Westers were led by Don Holmstrcm's 26 points, followed by Jim Johnston with 11. The Nor'Westers were cold both from the field and from the free throw line, netting 19 of 71 shots from the field and 11 of 21 from the foul line. In the second game, the Nor'Westers jumped into the lead after five minutes and never looked back. Again it was Holmstrom who led the team with 20 points. Johnston and Koski each netted 11 points, with Cameron following clo&'ely with 10. The hockey team, defending I.C.H.A. Champions, were twice defeated by the Soo Michigan Lakers. Scores were 9 - 4 and 8 - 6. The Lakers wasted no time in the first g~e as they jumped ·to a 3 - 1 lead in the first period. The second game started the same way as the host team jumped to a 5 - 1 first period lead. The Nor'Westers came back in the second to match the score 5 - 5, and out-shot the Lakers 14 - 4 in the final period, but were out-scored 3 - 1 in that frame. Murray Smith led the L.U. squad with a total o:t six goals atld two assists, followed by Dave Siciliano with five assists, • and Dwight Stirrett, with one goal and three assists. • Coach Akervall attributed the losses to better conditioning on the part of the Lakers. "The fact that we are limited to three hours of practise a week as compared to their team's ten is definitely going to hurt us in these early games," he said. Rhythmic gymnastics programme to start As an introduction to R h y t h m i c Gymnastics, I asked Mrs. Jutta Dusang of the Athletic Department to explain just what this type of gymnastics was. After her explanation, which follows, she went on to say that the programme will start immediately and that 30 persons have signed at the Athletic Office. Rhythm descends from the Greek language and means uninterrupted movement involving changes of tension and relaxation. Rhythmic Gymnastics is movement executed in time, space energy and form. Time - the slow through to fast. Space - the narrow, the wide, the deep, md the high. Energy - the strength, the bending and stretching. Form - the line, the circle. Every emotion is expressable by a movement, every movement creates an impression. The basic movements of Rythmic Gymnastics are: walking, running, jumping, skipping, and turning, timed by a given rhythm. We use instruments such as balls, hoops, and clubs for greater variation and for distracting our minds from the actual effort. For example, fitness. Take a hoop, push it across the· gym running along with it. You certainly will notice the effort of the exercise less than running without a hoop. Example two, flexibility. Sit on the floor with straight legs and knees, then touc:ti your toes. It hurts doesn't it? Now take a ball and roll it around the sh-etched out legs, but watch that your ball does not escape your hands! Example three, grace. Imagine having to walk by an audience which is critically watching every step you take. You most probably are tense and over-selfconscious.

Lakehead Nor'Westers Go International Lakehead University has scored another "first" in the sports world. The young university is the first Canadian University to "go International" with the announcement November 23 that they have been accepted as a member of the United States National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics. The NAIA is an association of small and mediumsized United States Colleges and universities including such names as Florida A and M, Boston State University and, closer to home, the University of Minnesota in Duluth. Lakehead University will thus be able to compete for national United States championships in baseball, basketball, cross country, gymnastics, soccer, swimming, tennis, track and field, wrestling, football, bowling and hockey. The University will still maintain its Canadian affiliation with the Ontario Intercollegiate Athletic Association, taking on what amounts to dual citizenship. It wfill be the only college or university in Canada or the United States which may win championships in both countries. In the past two years the University has won the Ontario Intercollegiate squash raquets, ski, golf and table tennis championships competing against other universities in Ontario. Last year their basketball team won the Lakehead title and the hockey team won its conference title in the first year of competition against teams from the United States. To become eligible to compete in National Championships, Lakehead University will first have to be accepted into leagues or conferences in Minnesota, Wisconsin or Michigan. They must win their league, then play off against winners of other leagues in the same state, thus representing that state or district at the National playofffs. The Nor'westers are already members off one American-based conference, the International Collegiate Hockey Association. Last year they competed against teams f T om Wisconsin State University, St. Cloud .State College, Bermidji State College and Lake Superior State College of Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan, winning 10 games against two losses to capture the conference title. The pull from the United States was a natural attraction according to athletic coordinator Bill Shannon, the man behind the move. "Our geographical location really gave us no ..other choice," he pointed oul Al- though we are a member of the OIAA we cannot compete in most team sports because of the travelling costs involved in any league which might be arranged." ATHLETIC SCHOLARSHIP QUESTION The move is expected to bring comment from other universities over the controversial question of grant.s-inaid for worthy athletes. A well-recognized point in the United States, such athletic scholarship assistance is still frowned upon in Canadian athletic competition. Lakehead University will be able to offer grants-in-aid in the future if it so desires. No set policy has been -established in tilis regard but the University's new Athletic Director G e o r g e Birger, formerly from the United States, has set views on the subject. "There is no reason why we should allow our fine young athletes to be pirated away because of our outdated concepts on athletics," he explainid. "A young athlete who maintains a high academic standing should be rewarded on a controlled basis for his abilities and for the honor and publicity he brings to the university and the city. Young Don Domansky and Arjan Gelling are fine examples of how athletes can bring l'.I"eat honor to our area. We can't, of course, expect to keep people of this calibre here at the present time but we should be trying to keep these boys in Canada. Once they have gone across the border to study, many do not return. It is part of the brain drain." Hockey coach H en r y Akerval, the captain of Canada's 1964 Olympic hockey team. pointed out that hundreds of young hockey players from Canada go south every year on athletic scholarships. "None of the top United Stat-es Colleges could maintain their calibre without our Canadian hockey talent," he claims. "But a Canadian boy shouldn't have to leave his country! If he wants to go - that's fine. But he should at least have the opportunity of one or two Canadian alternatives." With athletic grants-in-aid or without, Lakehead Universty faces the future of stiff international competition with an optimistc attitude. George Birger summed up the feeling of the athletic department when he said: ''The main point is that our top athletes will now receive the recognition they deserve. And the door is wide open for Lakehead University to build up an international reputation, particularly in sports such as hockey and basketball." RUMANIAN NATIONALS DECEMBER 13 LAKEHEAD UNIVERSITY, PORT ARTHUR, ONT Nov 30, 1967 8 PAGES AMS Council passes budget A total of 32 budgets were presented to the AMS Council for ratification Saturday, November 25. Of this number, 29 were passed with few enquiries pertaining to details not shown on the actual budget. The other tm-ee were passed on condition that these clubs be recognized by Council. The three clubs in question are the Lakehead University German Society, the Art Club, and the Sociology-Anthropology Club. The constitution of the latter has been tabled by Council. This year's total expected revenue is approximately $49,775. The total expenditure budgeted for is $55,343. The deficit is $5,568. The reason there is a deficit budget, explained Treasurer Don Lees, is because the clubs and organizations who get a part of the AMS budget very seldom spend all of it. Clubs are expected to carry through with their programs as laid out. The following is a list of some of the budgets passed with the amount they were subsidized to last year.

"We used a different system this· year. The financial committee went over all the budgets before they came to Councl for ratification. Instead of taking 12 hours as it did last year, Council has spent three on it so far, and I think that another one will do the job." Students voice lack of confidence .... t:lltAD f ~~ Mike Barkwell Barkwell elected V.P. Mike Barkwell, sec on d year Economics student, is the new AMS Vice President. Mr. Barkwell was elected by Council at its regular meeting Tuesday, November 21, in accordance with the AMS constitution. He succeeds Bill Weiler in that position, Mr. Weiler taking over as President following the resignation of Peter Young. A native of Southern Ontario, Mr. Barkwell has i,.ttended Lakehead for two years, and plans to return next year. S t u d e n ts' constitutional right of petition for a meeting of the AMS Council was exercised for the first time in the history of Lakehead University, Wednesday, November 22. Some 32 students signed a petition circulated the Frida,y previous calling for this special meeting. For Lakehead, it has been a year of agitation, dissatisfaction, and resignation. This meeting brought to light the latest grievances. The Council, with its newest President Bill Weiler, faced approximately 200 students to hear prepared resolutions, all reflecting a 1ack of faith in the Council and the executive. The resolutions w e r e available only to the councillors and to the members of the committee presenting them. The lack of faith refiected in the resolutions was a result of claimed infringements on student rights, constitutional ambiguities, financial mismangement, the handling of Council resignations, the parking issue, the committee system used by the Council, and various other dissatisfactions with student government. On Mr. Weller's request, Bert Baumann, Chief Justice,· agreed to chair the meeting, It became apparent, however, that even the constitution drafted by Mr. Baumann was "under fire", and that the chair was therefore not impartial. Further more, no student could be impartial, being an AMS member. Mr. Larry Anderson of t h e Psychology Department was asked to take the chair, and agreed to take over for the rest of the meeting. The Council President set a time limit on the meeting, pointing out that he had to catch a plane for Toronto later in the afternoon, and that many councillors had ,, two o'clock classes. UNITED FRONT Council appeared to take a solidified stand in defense of its policies, and in the acceptance of some of the arguments and crticisms of the committee of students. The general body in attendance appeared to be swayed according to the eloquence of each speaker involved. PREPARE BRIEF Mr. Weiler agreed to prepare a brief in reply to the criticism and remedies .proposed by those initiating the meeting. This brief apparently will be given to the whole student body. A straw vote was called, the results indicating that the original resolutions should also be made to the whole student body. But in the words of Karl Goodwin, Associate Justice, "As the battle raged, most students either played cards, drank coffee and laughed, or didn't give a damn as long as they knew· they could get their parchment." �Page 2 November 30,· ·1967 THE ARGUS Winter Carnival Committee Club Notes Psychology Club It appears the Psychology Club has again succeeded in filling its repertoire with interesting and informative details. The meetng of Nov. 23 focused on one- type of brainwashing used by Communists on certain prisoners of war. The technique, as presented through a tape recording plus a commentary delivered by Mr. K. A. Allan, involved a gradual re-education of the soldiers, but with no physical punishment. The men were submitted to a moral degradation achieved through t h e censoring of their mail which allowed only "bad news" through. They were taught to mistrust their companions by an "informer" system. The end result of this drill was that they would endure up to six hours a day of C om m u n i st propaganda starting at 7:00 in the morning! The programme also called for a 40 minute film on Schizophrenia but, because of the responsive discussion about the tape, there was not time. The film may be shown at the Dec. 7th meeting plus anything else that is scheduled. Don't miss it. The Winter Carnival Committe had its first meeting last Thursday. Winter Carnival Chairman is ·J ohn Lee, Arts III. Other Executive positions still have to be filled, so come out and be active in the biggest social event of the year. Major committees have been selected but more bodies and new ideas are desperately wanted. Meetings Circle K Don't wait until the Holiday Season is upon you, ..

I-- the men's club Circle K is a service organization for college men operating on the campus, and is similar to Kiwanis and other service clubs. Its objects are to emphasize the advantages of the American and Canadian way of ·life; to provide an opportunity for leadership training in service; to serve on the campus and in the community; and to promote good fellowship and high scholarship. It is a leadership and character - building group which gives primacy to the human and spiritual rather than to the material values of life. To co-operate in maintaining that sound public opinion and high idealism which makes possible the increase of righteousness, j u s t i c e, patriotism and good will is only one of the group's ideals. A Circle K club is sponsored in co-operation with College or University officials by a local Kiwanis club which is composed of leading business and professional men of the community. Kiwanis does not sponsor these clubs in order to build future Kiwanians. This activity is part of the Kiwanis programme of service to youth and community.

Some goes into the manufacture of take-out coffee cups, Christmas decorations, and toys. Some is sent to the United States as an ingredient of napalm, which is being used by the U.S. in Vietnam. The Canadian manufacturer of polystyrene is Dow Chemical Co. of Canada, a subsidiary of the parent Dow in the U.S. Campuses across Canada have risen up in protest in some cases violent protest against Dow recruiters interviewing on Campus. The Canadian protests began on Nov. 8 when a small group handed out literature at the door of the placement centre at the University of Waterloo. A week later UBC students followed suit, but this time they blocked the doorway. At Windsor last week, campus Chaplain Bill Christensen led a similar group in protest, but there was no violence.

The Student Council at the University of Victoria shared these sentiments when they went on the record opposing the use of napalm. Dow recruiters were expected a week after council took this action. USE OF NAPALM IMMORAL Why all these protests? Demonstrators see · it as a moral issue. Harold Kasinsky, a University of California biochemist, who has made a study of napalm, reports: "A napalm B fire reaches a temperature of almost 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit in a few seconds. The polystyrene component of napalm B acts like a glue at high temperatures, holding the fire to a particular surface. "The new napalm B is so sticky and burns so intensely that it cannot be removed from human skin without causing whole chunks of flesh to come off." Protestors say such a weapon is immoral - much more immoral than Atomic bombs. The U.S. Dow company makes napalm bombs for use in Vietnam. The protestors claim this is contributing to an immoral act. Part of Dow's supply of pdl.ystyrene, the active ingredient of napalm, is made in Canada. Therefore Canada is implicated in this immorality. But Dow points out its napalm production accounts for less than one per cent of its business. Opponents then say it would be a negligible loss to discontinue napalm production. Pro-Dow forces on campus offer two arguments: the first ski$ any moral issue and claims Dow Canada personnel work on a vast number of projects, so workers, those recruited annually fr om campuses, are not directly m.volved in producing napalm. The second argument says. it is the right of students to apply for a job of their choice, and the majority should not deny them this right.

IE A BLOOD DONOR On student power By Day Laban In centuries past, philosophers used to write treatises entitled "On the Nature of Things", "On Metaphysics", "On the Principles of Morals.'' The implication was that these essays were one man's opinion, an exercise in thought, rather than a dogmatic: stating of facts. I would ask that this be judged in the same fashion: the statement of a personal opinion, and an enquiry as to to where we are going . . . It is probably correct to assume that the word "student ·power" is an adaptation of the phrase "black power", so often used in reference to the racial turbulences in the United States. It denotes a minority group's realization of its own strength, and of its intent to impose its will upon others. It is a flexing of the muscles, a testing of the sinews, the first stirring of a young giant's might. But it is more than that; there is a connotation of animosity, an almost revolutionary approach, an "out with the old, in with the new" feeling that may well do more to destroy than to improve the structure of our universities. The sharing of knowledge, a University's reason for existence, has become secondary to a political manipulation, whereby the University is broken up into three warring factions; Students, Faculty and Administration. Those who stir up the controversy would have one believe that there is no common ground on which these factions can meet to discuss their differences, that this is a "cold war" between three different ideologies. It is rather like an argument about religion between three die-hard members of different denominations: interesting to listen to, but hardly likely to come to a satisfactory conclusion. I am quite aware that this three-way battle is taking place on campuses all over Canada and the United States, that it is not peculiar to Lakehead University. And possibly .this is the most worrying aspect of the situation: just because others start a certain trend, is it necessary that we too jump on the band-wagon? Any band-wagon? Even one, that, when the sound of its rumbling passage dies down, will leave behind the shattered remains of what so many people spent so many years to build? The "divide and conquer" tactics employed by those who would sow dissent have been used many, many times before, and rarely have they led to lasting improvement. He who sows dissent shall reap chaos. Students have always been the most important single factor in the structure of a University, for a very simple reason; no students, no University. But, per se, the student body is in constant flux: only a very few remain on campus longer than three years, and during those years their main preoccupation is with their studies rather than with the manner in which the institution of learning, to whose tutelage they have entrusted themselves for a few brief years, is being run. At least that is how it used to be, in the days when administrators had time to do what they are paid to do, i.e. administrate, rather than weather- ing the onslaught of sit-ins, stand-ins and lie-ins, and slinking down the hall-ways wearing dark glasses on the day the studentnewspaper comes out. Student government itself is in constant flux. Witness the events at L.U. in recent weeks. Is this not an indication that before one can rule the world one must be able to rule oneself? In any form of government, the greatest essential is unity, the striving toward a common goal. And if the students among themselves fail to realize what this common goal is, if they relentlessly criticize their elected officals, if they protest without purpose, if they fail to impose discipline upon themselves, how then would they rule the University? Every organization needs a "constant" to function efficiently. Because of its everchanging nature, the student-body cannot provide this constant. A long-range view of the aims and functions of the University can be taken only by those who will be called upon to carry out these plans and bring them to fruition. Such a constant is the Senate. Not the student-body, not the often-nomadic Faculty nor even the Administration, but the Senate. Student representation on the Senate is indeed a great step forward. But in order to represent the student-body as a whole, these student-representatives must know what its aims are. As things are, I wish them the wisdom of Solomon and the patience of Job: they'll need it. �Novi:neber 30, 1967 THE ·ARGUS .-.istorical discovery Page 5 Situation difficult in years of yore What is a University?

Actually. it is just a throw-away paperback. But, I thought, someone in authority (and therefore very sensible) insists that the university put out a guide, and that it not be called a guide. So, continuing my research, I drafted an alternative, a Menu. It is brief, familiar. inexpensice, and easy to read.

This situation seems to belie the rumors that Tam Lin is a mere figurehead.

One of the most revered Tutors Ree Sir Cha was waylaid in a hidden staircase in Nu Lie. Those responsible for his death were either Slaves, seeking to steal his books, or Royal Guards.

This is Dave's second year on the team after a very successful rookie season. Dave was an assistant captain of the I. c. H. A. champions, all-61:ar centr~, scoring leader with 15 goals and 22 assists in 12 games and the most valuable player. Dave also lettered in hockey and was the overall top scorer at L U. with 19 goals and 37 assists in 19 games. - Once again this year, h~ will play on the All Conference line of Smith, Siciliano and Stin:ett. Fans at the Friday night basketball game were the lucky observers at our cheerleaders' first start. photo - gauley Long trip tires team The Nor'Westers hockey team lost their third straight game Friday night as they were defeated 6 - I by the Junior Varsity team in Houghton. The game was played as an exhibition game. The lone goal for the Lakehead squad was scored by Dave Siciliano at the 2 7 second mark of the first period. But the battle was all up hill from that point on. C.oach Henry Akervall attributed the loss to the long and tiring bus trip from the Lakehead to Houghton. The team left the Lakehead early Friday morning, and played that night. The team js expected to be in better shape for the doubleheader against Bemidji State this weekend.

One occurred in a bridge game involving John Stefiszyn and Dave Nuttal on the one hand, and Boyd Hussey and Coach Henry Akervall on the other.- John, in a subtle attempt to indicate what he wanted Dave to lead, came up with one of the best pieces of table talk heard in a long while. John leaned forward, belched, and said he had heartburn. No one realized the significance until Dave led a heart and they took the trick. Another occurred when the bus driver was asked to stop along the highway for a much-needed "pit stop." As the line formed along the side of the bus-some two deep-a few cars passed by. The expression on the drivers' faces was priceless. The last was appreciated only by a few. You can ask Al Johnson of the hockey team about former Leaf goalie Harry Yum Yum. • • • Murray Smith was the top performer for the Nor'Wesfers hockey team, scoring six of the ten goals in the first two league games. Don Holmstrom also performed well, scoring 46 points on the weekend. Don captured CKPR's Sportsman-of-the-Week Award. • One of the reasons for the hockey team's losses stems from their lack of practice time. They better start getting in shape soon if they expect to compete with the Rumanian National Team on December 13. ,,. ,,. ,,. One thing about these intercollegiate trips-the students are expected to come to school for all their classes even after returning home at 3 a.m. It was noted, however, that the Monday after the last trip, the two intercollegiate coaches did not show up until after twelve noon. • • • • This week the SAS is planning on holding its first Homecoming Weekend, with a dance Friday night and basketball and hockey doubleheaders Saturday and Sunday against Bemidji State. , Get out and support your teams. Don't forget to get seasons passes from the SAS, valued at $2.50 for each sport. •• Once again I attended a local wrestling card.

Nor 1Westers keep Wesmen on their toes. photo-gauley Nor'Westers split with Wesmen By Larry Hebert The Lakehead University Nor'Westers basketball team brought its intercollegiate record to 2-2 with a win Friday night and a loss Saturday aaginst the University of Winnipeg Wesmen. Friday night at Winston Churchµ!, before a packed house, Don Holmstrom led the hoopsters to a 48 - 39 win over the Wesmen. Holmstrom almost single-handedly took care of the L.U. scoring, picking up 22 points in the first half and 28 in the entire game. Another reason for Lakehead's win was their good defense and fast break. Coach Birger was very pleased with the big threeDon Holmstrom, Lou Pero, and Jim Johnston. They did an excellent job rebounding against a rnuch bigger team. Birger stated that L.U. beat Winnipeg with superior hustle. But he was still disappointed with his team's inability to put two good halves together. In almost every game this year, the Nor'Westers have faltered in the second half. Other top scorers for L.U. were Cameron with 6, and Holman with 5. For the Winnipeg University Wesmen, Irwin led the way with 14 while Macy had 7 and Crockett 5. Saturday afternoon a t Lakeview the Wesmen came back to win a thriller by a score of 57 - 51. Nor'Westers held a half-time lead, and although they played their best half of the season, it wasn't good enough as the Wesmen got hot in their shooting. Lakehead continued t o fast break Saturday, but it wasn't enough to overcome Winnipeg's precise shooting. Once again it was Holmstrom who led the way for . After seeing a National Hockey_ League g~me ?roadcast by an American announcer the other mght, I realized Just how far behind Canada they are in hockey knowledge. I'm sure it won't take long though, before they surpass us in the broadcas~g of our own game.

For the winning Wesmen, Macey, their top guard, had 15 while Crockett netted 12 and Johnson had 10. The top players for Lakehead Saturday were Pero, who rebounded well, and Cameron, who played a good defensive game as well as leading the N or'Westers fast break. The weekend doubleheader also provided the fans with their first glimpse of the Lakehead cheerleaders. They did a god job and have several new cheers that went over very well.

We do. We also wonder at the logic behind this charge. Let us indulge in an exercise in nostalgia for a moment or three. Freshmen students will not be aware of this fact, (some seniors may not either) but last year there was no charge for course changes until about two or three weeks after the beginning of classes. Perhaps the exact number of weeks or days during which free changes were allowed is not exactly what is stated above. Nevertheless, the fact is that there was no charge for these second thoughts about certain subjects until a decent waiting period had passed. But this year? It is a fact that the ratio of out-of-town students to local students is significantly lower this year than in the past ~cademic year. The absence of a calendar may be charged for this. It is not the concern at the immediate time to sulk about the calendar. However, the ludicrous (and lucrative) decision to hit students for a second time when they have a change of heart, or perhaps even a realization meaningful to themselves as individuals insults us as individuals. And they actually charge this three dollars when they do not have a calendar to allow students to decide upon the best course to follow. What trauma students must go through when they approach that long grey desk to disclose the fact that they have made a mistake in the choosing of their courses. And then they have to cough up for a mistake that may or may not have been their fault in the first place. Sometimes we wonder. Science Congratulates Forestry(?) Don Colbome One of the curious idiosyncracies of Lakehead University is the type and quality of people here who fall before that great undergraduate freakout which might be called the student beaurocrat syndrome. Basically it is a manifestation of t!1e peculiarly high-school-like education offered here and it attacks a particular group of insecure power trippies who are so little aware of what a real university is that they actually believe the games they play are in some way meaningful. Symptoms of the onset of this affliction appear when a red-blooded Joe College begins, usually after about siX months here, to have bad dreams about graduating as just another sausage without an impressive history of "stuff" with • which to pad his resume. It doesn't take much to realize that L. U. is not doing much for him. These early symptoms include the affectation of suit (preferably cord), walk (busy-busy-busy), and card file of names (for dropping). He greets friend and foe with a smile which varies with social status of the smilee and if he is particularly clever he will force his name into public. The tactics of this game vary from graffitiing "I am a great lay'' on the ladies' room wall, to writing totally plagarized letters of comment and criticism to the school paper. Then comes that great democratic event when the most able and interested prevail upon themselves to guide the destiny of their institution - election time. Here the personality switch hits an acute stage as our schitzoid student goes hyper for a few days. He makes posters, speeches, friends, notes, pins, platforms, and platitudes. He talks hockey with the jocks, turns on with the heads, makes time with the chicks, nods at profs, and generally goes through the whole B.M.O.C. routine he has learned so well from old Hollywood horrors on the late show. He turns on the total feelie - wheelie bag. Then he gets elected . . . by a minority of a mass who don't know him, couldn't care less about the illustrious position he has so rapidly aspired to, and are unaware of the intense ego fabrication through which he has forced himself. Now the real power-trip begins. He starts mouthing bigger than life stuff like "Let's go to my office and call Toronto about it" or "No time for coffee ... I'm waiting for a call from the President." He becomes the very worst variety of beaurocrat - the student mechanic. Through a classical situationiste role identification he becomes an administrative automaton, talking in abstract about budgets and briefs, purchase orders and parking slips, office space and off-campus housing. He stops thinking about himself and what he should do. He loses touch. That's the diagnosis. It is also much of the reason why the student government at this university is so frightfully inept. However it is a problem peculiar to young universities, and we should be passing from that stage during the course of this year. Where all this leads, of course, is to tomorrow's election.

Said Arts President Pentti Paularinne, "The race l~ft too early' but we still caught up".

Maybe the red and white might find time to participate at some future date. ·letters to the editor Mao who has controlled and SUN NOT SET Dear Sir: I disagree with Mr. Szechung's opinion that Mao Tze Tung was "incapable of running such a big country as China''. ("The Sun is Set", Sept. 18/67, Vol. II, No. 1), Firstly, Mao, contrary to Mr. Sze-chung's subtle sugg e st ion s , was a great scholar. He was enrolled at Changsha Junior College (1911 ), completed six years of teacher's training college (Changsha, 1913 to 1918)and a year as librarian and dropin student at Peking University. He would often spend ten hours at a time reading, and habitually received 100% in his essays. He developed into a better-than-average poet of the classical type, and wrote many books on philosophy and hist_ory. Secondly, he was a great leader, in war as well as in peace. His guerrilla tactics have inspired the peoples of Vietnam. Cuba, and Korea to victory and partial victory against greater forces than themselve·s. He hims e 1f gained and controlled mainland China. Since 1947, he has developed China from a starving, weakling, demoralized nation to a .w orld power. All this, Mr. Szechung would argue, is the work of not only Mao but of those around him (notably Lui-Hsiao Chih and Chou En-Lai) and I would not dispute his supposition. But in my eyes, this makes him an even greater leader. For all great men must, by necessity, lean upon the work of those around them; and it is co-ordinated the work of these great men. If Mao is presently slipping from power, as he undoubtedly is, then we must view this not as the end of a weakling leader but as the downfall of a great man over whose bones•lesser men are now fighting.

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

NOTICE Interest Becomes Action Students attending the seminar, and in particular those from Waterloo, decided to concentrate on setting up their own schools to help the children in their areas. The second main area of concentrated effort will be directed towards those students who plan to go into teaching. It was decided that the traditional OCE goal of teaching people to teach must be reformed. Instead of turning out robots to feed the system, a concerted effort must be made to provide a freer atmosphere in schools, eliminating the need to con, and in the end seeing happier and more complete graduates. Mr. Baumann is probing the possibilities of setting up this sort of an educational environment at the Lakehead. From necessity it would probably be held, at first, in the evenings, on weekends, and during the~ summer months. For the enlightenment of Lakehead University students, Bert plans to show several of the films which were shown at the seminar on campus during the coming year. "I know I can make a definite contribution to the student body on campus as a result of this seminar", Mr. Baumann stated.

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

Of course little Tommy Douglas had his warm summer with the old Left going left and right and the new left leaving. All that I have said so far is petty politics. It's on everyone's tongue, but is all this helping Canada in any way? If I was to ask one student to name six of the bills presently before the House of Commons, I doubt if he (or she) would be able to name even two of them. It is not easy to become adequately familiar or informed, but the very survival of free, orderly government depends on the intelligent interest that people show in the conduct of public affairs. After the traumatic experiences of last week, the political forum will provide an interesting and enlightening change. Here you will have the opportunity to prove your loyalty and interest in Canada on Tuesday, October 3rd, by attending the Political Forum with candidates for the Port Arthur-Fort William election. They will be questioned by the editors of the ARGUS, the News Chronicle, and the FortWilliam Times Journal; but questions from the audience will be received for every question asked by the press.

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

G. Tuck Prostitution at L.U. Damnit, maybe we should take down our Lakehead University banner. Let'sputone up that says "Whore house". We're prostitutingourselves and the bureaucracy is the pimp.

What's snake anatomy 2b6 like? What did you get in it last year? Does he mark hard? These intellectually stimulating questions generally are answered (?) with some numerical abstraction such as "Well, (pause) I got 72, 67, 4. . . . " But can bureaucracy evaluate performance on a mark-type basis derived from pressure circumstances? How can bure- aucracy place a number on personal relevance? The system runs on gears and numbers and we, the students, prostitute ourselves to the system for X dollars of tuition, living expenses, anonymity and u 1t i m ate alienation. In turn the system cons us i n to perpetuating it through economic manipulation. It sells us its labelled buttons, jackets, and match book covers. In reality we are identifying with it, supporting it and perpetuating it. The wheel turns and we ask ourselves if we are getting our money's worth, if our fees are being properly administered and if our dances are showing a profit. Man, are we hooked! Or are we? Karl A. J.

They claim they put it in the paper the day after the Grade 13 exam results came out in order to attract hockey players to the University. That's a good idea but why wouldn't an article, telling of the places that the team would travel to suffice in attracting aspiring hockey players? The Weekend Magazine (Star) also ran a hockey story (September 2). They showed pictures of last year's all-star team and pictures of the individual trophy winners. I think they were also a li,ttle hasty in putting out a hockey story, especially last year s pictures (unless Chicago needed some morale boosting, since it was mostly pictures of their players).

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

The memorandum states: estimate incorrect "The Fort William Tr.ansit Company have maae an exhaustive study of the buses both to and from La.kehelid University. It was originally hoped that there would be approximately fifty students per bus load." The average use of the bus service ranges from twenty students per load to one student ·with the whole bus to himself.

The Manager of the Transit Company also stated that unless La.kehead University was prepared to subsidize the company for their losses, they would be forced to cancel the service. He also pointed out that the coming cold weather would likely induce more transit traffic. This would reduce the actual loss per day. first year of service The original agreement between the University and the Transit abthority in Fort William was months incoming. Red tape and cold feet hampered negotiations between the two. There were no buses running directly to the University from Fort William last year. The bus service was initiated on September 18 this term. From the beginning it received light usage. HC?wever. as stated, the cold weather should see business picking up. This matter of transportation will be discussed at the October 3 meeting of the University Committee. October 6, 1967 Lakehead University has seceded from Port Arthur. The announcement was made in a broadcast monitored by the P.U.C,, and is believed to have originated from a clandestine radio station in Wing D. At one point, the broadcast proclaimed the establishment of the Grand Duchy of Sugra. The announcement stated in part: "This is a victory fo.r the people led by our glorious Grand Duke William. It ls a defeat for the capitalist warmongers and their lackies. J.,<mg live the Grand Duke I" The Grand Duchy will be ruled by a revolutionary council consisting of one Grand Duke, two students, three faculty and a partridge in a pear tree. World reaction has been mixed, as reports are still streaming in from all parts of the globe. In exclusive ARGUS interviews with major world leaders, the following statements were recorded: President Jockstrap: "This is obviously the work of a small communist minority. The Free World must use every facility - including peaceful means. if necessary - to bring the aggressors to the conference table.•• The President added that "526,000 Military and Economic Advisors, with artillery support, were being airlifted into the area." General Dieu Gall: "Vive le Grand Duchy librel" Meow Tse Tongue: "This is a decisive triumph in the heroic struggle of the valiant and oppressed people of La.kehead University.•• The Prime Minister. who was feting a visiting dignitary• was not available for comment. It is rumoured that Mayor Paul Hatpin will seek support for economic sanctions against the Grand Duchy. Included in the list of prohibited commodities would be: Christmas cards, blue vein cheese,. salt petre, buttons, and• suspenders. It is hoped that the inaccessability of essential items such as these will crush the rebellion within a few hours. However, the Grand Duchy has negotiated with the u.s.s.R. for supplies, and reports of steppedup air activity in the Soviet Union indicate that these negotiations have been more than successful. Preparations for the long struggle ahead are already being made within t.he Grand Duchy. and the frontiers have been closed to all traffic, Trenches, which would stop all but the most rugged of vehicles, have appeared in the principle roadways. Military excavations are obvious in many places. and strategically placed observation posts erected. Military action in Vietnam and the Middle East has decreased noticeably as the world tensions focus on Port Arthur. In the U,N. the lights burn late into the night as the representatives of world powers meet in closed session. Only the Croation delegate, who caught cold while digging ve_getables in his garden last Saturday, was absent from the debate. The delegate, Mr. Gudenov, 43, married wit~ four children. has been in the diplomatic service for sixteen years. and grows many of his own vegetables. Other developments in tile crisis include the sighting of unidentified submarines in Thunder Bay and reports of sporatic guerrila action in and around the Sleeping Giant. As we go to press, no resolution to the crisis is in sight. Perhaps the most astute analysis of the situation came from the C,B,C. 's Stanley Birch: "It is neither difficult or easy to see the final result. On the contrary. And above all good night.•• Expect Confrontation A recent memorandum from Dean Rothney concerning degree :r-equirements and eligibility for graduation has caused a •great deal of indignation and complaint among third and fourth year Arts students. The main complaint seems to be the apparent contradictions between guidance received from faculty members and from Administrative officers. At a meeting of third and fourth year Arts students in the Auditorium last Friday, a commission was set up to study the problems arising out of this dictum from the Dean of Arts. Informed sources say that the commission cannot accept.,.,- · Dean Rothney' s memorandum. At press-time, all indications would seem to point to a meeting with Dean Rothney. President Tamblyn, and Mr. Ayre Registrar, tomorrow at 1:00 in the Auditorium. All Arts 'students, particularly potential graduates, are strongly urged to attend this meeting and lend active support to the commission. �Page 2 October 5, 1967 THE A~GUS Forestry student fined, barred from AMS functions L "Yes you can contin~~r A second year Forestry student has been fined fifty dollars by the Judicial Committee of the AMS. The Judicial Committee heard this case in its first session of this academic year, held Thursday, September 28 in the Great Hall. Chief Justice Bert Baumann presided over the Cou:tt. The charge was kicking a proctor on the night of Septem ... ber 16 without cause or provocation. Technicalities hampering this first sitting arose out of a misunderstanding on the part of the defense counsel Mr. Ian Thompson. The name on the summons apparently was incorrect. After a court recess for ten minutes, during which time the defendent could not be contacted, Chief Justice Baumann called an adjournment until Friday, September 29 at 12:30. The original misunderstanding arose when prosecutor Art Looye called the court's attention to the fact that the mistake in the summons could be corrected in court. Defense counsel was unaware of this fact, and consequently the defendent had not appeared. When court reconvened, the defendent was present. The defendent entered a plea of guilty to the charge as read by the clerk. In the course of the trial to determine the extent of the charges, the court called three witnesses, all proctors. Details of the offense were outlined by these witnesses. When the defendent was called· to the stand, he stated that he was in a semi-intoxicated state at the time when the violation was committed. Upon seeing a friend of his in a scuffle with a proctor, he impulsively intervened by kicking the proctor in the chest. After recession, the court called the accused to the floor and proceeded to pass judgment. The seriousness of the charge could not be over emphasized stated Chief Justice Baumann. This point was stressed above all. The court also pointed out that intoXication of any kind is not tolerated by the students at La.kehead University. The court, considering the emotional factor in the case, levied a fine of fifty dollars on the student charged. In addition, the accused was barred from all AMS functions, whether on or off campus, until after the Chrtstmas holidays. .edllcat1on.!' • This booklet shows you how you can get financial help.

The same thing happens twice more. Five minutes of ecstatic applause. The group has exhausted its repertoire of three songs. The applause thunders on. The group sings the same three songs agai~ acknowledges the applause,. exits beaming and exultant. The Travellers folk song group is born, This was Toronto, 1953. After fourteen years and half a million miles, the Travellers have become recognized as Canada's foremost apostles of Canadian folk music. Indeed, apostles of music in general, including one thousand songs in sixteen different languages. The Travellers have wowed full houses half way around the world, including six cities in Russia in 1962, various partA of G re at Britain in 1964 and 1965, as well as alloverNorthAmerica. They have appeared on numerous national television shows in Canada, the United States, and the United Kingdom. The number of concert performances that they have presented is too great to account. Universities all across Canada have echoed the sounds of the Travellers' music, and Lakehead University is the next in line, October 30 to November 4 when the Travellers will ·appear live at the University Theatre. they play Canadian The most striking feature about the Travellers' performance is the fact that they play Canadian. Of the seventeen thousand Canadian folk songs collected and recorded in the Dominion Archives in Ottawa, the Travellers have polished, revised, and refined some two hundred of them. As far as they are concerned, there are no sacred cows that cannot be satirized through song. For example, they sang one song called "National News": Paul Hellyer' s determined to cut down defense, But Bob McNamara says "Hang the expense I As partners in NA TO, we'll split fair and square, You give us the skies, we'll give you the air!" This song, though now dated, is reportedly being revised constantly to keep it up with the times. But it indicates the style of song which this very versatile group presents. However, they do· not restrict themselves to one style of music. Running the gamut from a capella traditional folk songs to Indian and French-Canadian folk songs to the latest folk-rock type sound, the group shows the colour, range, depth and beauty of Canadian music. banjo-playing dentist Of the original group from the early fifties, only one member remains. Jerry Gray, dentist in the straight world, is the banjo player, main emcee, and baritonetenor vocalist. Jerry fell in love with the banjo after hearing Pete Seeger in the early fifties, and has played it ever since. "Audiences have become more discriminating," says Jerry. "They want something which is entertainment, which will provoke them and excite them. Folk music has this power. Often, words which could not be spoken, or meanings which could not be conveyed by the spoken word, can have a new emotional imp act through a song." A native of Toronto, Jerry has managed so far to "enjoy the financial security of a dental practice and the excitement of show business" simultaneously. The girl of the group, Simone Johnston, adds a full dimension of "woman" on the stage, by her attitude of dignity during any performance. A double cultural heritage of Russian and French - Canadian make s Simone's presence felt' on stage. She plays no instrument but makes up for it by adding greatly to the show through her versatility of voice. "Too much of the stuff we do is candy floss,•• she complains. "Be ca u s e we want a Canadian image as all-around nice guys, we straddle the line between social protest and mass popularity. In trying to make our material palatable to the public, we run the danger of refining the guts out of it. I believe a folk singer ought to be preaching in music, hot and strong, about what is happening i n the w o r 1cf" today." And adding Quebec separatist songs to their repetoire an d protesting against the u. s~ intervention in Vietnam would make Simone happy. Joe Lawrence is tne baritone, comedian, · and bass player with the Travellers. Add to that list composer as well and it makes one fine entertainer. An American by birth, Joe feels that a II).odern approach to folk music will produce a more consistent and viable musical package, despite the fact that it may irk the traditionalists. "Folk music is to me the means of reaching the public with an individual's particular phi· losophy. And various ideas can be presented to any group of people at any particular concert.'' Joe's talents help to brighten up any stage. Tall, lanky, baritone, sometimes - buffoon, Ray Woodley rounds out this list of great musicians and entertainers. Playing a driving rhythm guitar and adding spots of humour between songs, Ray's infectious good humour carries past the mike to whatever type o audience is watching or listening. "The effect of the Canadian songs we present is astounding", Ray recalls, "I'll never forget a comment made by a university student after one of our concerts in Halifax: • I didn't realize we had so many Canadian songs'. We've got our work cut out for us Sing those Canadian Songs . ., . And sing those songs the T r ave 11 e r s will, com~ . October 30.

In case you weren't there for the ground breaking ceremonies. the ARGUS. upon hearing of the impending event. sent a news and photo crew to the scene. and now brings you this report. In the midst of pomp and ceremony; steeped with tradition and aged with excellence, Her Highness Queen McBamett opened the latest edition to the Lakehead University Campus. Looking immaculate in her official attire, which, for the fashion conscious of L.U., included a yellow tiara, flowing robes of satin and burlap and dainty shoes befitting such an honoured occasion, she flourished her Award du Merit and then. brandishing her Order of the Golden Jackhammer, she commensed work and dug one helluva gaping crevasse in our driveway I Amongst cheers from the crowd, and catcalls and heckling ,from the ARGUS staff, the work progressed, until approximately 1:00 p.m., when it appeared that the project had been completed. As the thousands of students on hand slowly retreated to the congenial atmosphere of the cafeteria, and as local motorists appeared to try out the new facilities of their friendly neighbourhood university, by leaping across the abyss, Her Highness reappeared, to the joy of the remaining crowd. and after re-examining her handiwork, declared the new structure condemned. On the serious side, this action by the Physical Plant merits all the bitching that we, as students here, can devote to it. The "dummy police" as they are known in beaurocratic circles, constitute a general pain-in-the-ass to every dl'iver on campus, whether he is from the administration, faculty or the student body. Complaints have been pouring in from all sides in regards to these "slowdown'' devices, and hopefully, shall continue until they are removed. As a solution, may we put forth the following proposition to the brass in the Physical Plant: why not merely assign one of the roving members of the Physical Plant to keep an eye on the Indiannapolis aspirants instead of leavin~ these menaces about. Undoubtedly, as the ''trenches' continue to deepen, from traffic over them, there will be a trail of springs, axles, exhaust components, bumpers and the odd transmission left in the wake. When this happens, (and it will) I suppose that we'll have to pay the local junk man a small fortune to clean up the mess. ch. lettersCafeteria to Suggestions the editor What does it mean? Dear Sir: Dear Sir, does the juice flovv? If students pay ten dollars to get plugged in, will they get turned on? '!-, It would appear that the campaign to allocate parking outlets is being run the same way as last year. And many will recall how that turned out to be mass disorganization and semi-scandal. As some students may remember, the outlets were rented last year. apparently on the understanding that the juice would flow as long as the umbilical cord connected car and socket. Later it was discovered by some rather observant student that the meters were only warming the cars fifty per cent of the time. The controllers of the electrical feed were unable to provide satisfactory answers to the angry questions posed by students on days when the temperature tail-spun into the minus minus range. The actual arrangement last year, as theARGUSmanaged find out after considerable digging. was that the power was turned on for half an hour and then turned off for half an hour. The only problem we could see was that no one seemed to know when the spark of life was on and when it was not. This year, informed sources seem to believe that the plug-ins will be on for fifteen minutes at a time. and then off for the same period. Things are definitely looking up. But what about the brass's parking lot? Our usually reliable sources are of the belief that juice flows there not just part-time, but all hours of the day and half of the night. And when you consider that there are roughly twelve times more students than faculty and administration. you begin to question motives and ethical considerations. We are supposed to b€: equal participants in this "community of scholars". Obviously we are not equal actors in the Administration's "comedy of errors" . • 1J.l:O .. I am presently reading Vol. II No. 2 of the ARGUS with acute interest. But I must mount my mighty typewriter to inquire about Mr. Co !borne' s "My Bag•• column. It is an exceptional person indeed. who. after taking one or two psychology courses at mo s t. (from the "highschool-like education offered here"), can sit down and diagnose an individual with such rare skill and. knowledge as Mr. Colborne thinks himself to have done. Express ions such as "student bureaucrat syndrome", "insecure power trippies", "feelie-wheelie bag", "intense ego fabrication". and "classical situationist role indentification" are certainly impressive enough. However, can Mr. Colborne, (or is it Dr. Colborne now), really think himself qualified to practise that which is reserved for an M.A., Ph.D. or M.D. in psychology? ? ? I am amazed that he should even make the attempt. I remain. with only one psychology course credit, a "Schitzoid Student" May I draw your attention to the fact that the prices of food and drinks at our University cafeteria are comparable with those at some downtown restaurants and coffee bars. The fact would become more obvious should we c o m pa r e quantitatively and qualitatively the price of each item available at our Cafeteria with the prices of corresponding items at restaurants. As far as I know. the Univeristy Cafeteria is under the joint management of the Administration and an outside contractor. In other words, half of the profit goes into an outside drain. Why it has been, passes my understanding. Pepsi slot-machines _(the bottle type) were removed from the Hall soon after classes commenced 1as t winter; hot meals were only - available during the day to those who · had the ability to pay; soup was dropped from the menu almost throughout the summer; and. last but the least, business was closed altogether when there were still people working on campus. All such measures were taken apparently for the interest of the business. not of its patrons. The situation at the Uni- versity Residence (under the same management) was no better. Students complained continually. I recall that one evening last year the tension was so high that some students were carrying placards protesting against the quality and quantity of the meals. In fact. it was a demonstration on a mini-skirt scale. I believe that it is not the intention of the Administration for affairs to be conthe margin of profit had been well trimmed. It would be much better if the University took over the business entirely and ran it on a limitedprofit basis. or. better still. if the A. M. S. shoulder the responsibility and run it on a non-profit basis in the same manner as that of McGill University, where coffee is obtainable at five cents a cup. As our University is exp anding rapidly, it is of fundamental importance to improve present conditions in the cafeteria to meet the need of all students. If some positive steps could be taken toward this direction, the benefit would, indeed. be not only to the students and those who patronize, but to the entire University. Sincerely. Sze-chung Yuan �October 5, 1967 THE ARGUS Page 5"' "academic atmosphere" the lack and how to get rid of it by D. John Lynn(Canadian University Press) OTTAWA (CUP) -- Universities across Canada, beset with a heavy influx of students, are only with great difficulty able to find adequate funds to provide adequate teaching staff, increase classroom space, augment library collections, install labs, and to provide other purely academic needs to adjust to the increased demands of a population bent on educating its young. The universities' meager resources can barely stretch to provide them with the means to get an education. It cannot stretch to the point where the students will have the service13 which comple~ent a good education -- sports and recreation facilities, student union buildings, dining facilities, and, most critical this year, housing. The above items draw a low priority in university construction. But add to this the general housing shortage in Canada at the present time, particularly as the population shifts from the rural to the urban base, and the situation becomes critical. Over the past summer all available housing in many centres was filled by people shifting from rural areas. This September undergraduate students returned to university to find apartments and rooms were simply not available for them. University residences had been booked solid since early August. University officials recognize the problem, but there is little they can do. Most universities prepare off-campus housing registries, but these are stop-gap measures at best, and in some cases have led to all kinds of abuse by both students and administration. A long-term solution advocated by some is student co.operative living. by Rod Phillips (Argus News Editor) This paper, as its title That there is little desire sure that there are many pretentiously indicates, con- for learning at Lakehead other causes more compfex sists of my comments -- University is, I think, mani- than those which I have men1 hope informed -- on aspects fest, The fact that at least tioned.

Marshall McLuhan ARGUS In your book Understanding Media, you point out the superior qualities of . television de man d s "involvement '' in what is being shown. Do you believe that the knowledge g a in e d via television ls of an enduring quality, and that the "involvement'' created will be of a lasting nature? That is in comparison with other media. McLUHAN .._ When you asked the question concerning the effectiveness of different media in imposing or imparting of knowledge, there is no comparison between the older, say, written forms, and the new electric forms, so far as their power to impress and impart are concerned. The visual sense (which was used mainly in the civilized ages of literacy) is the only sense we possess that gives detachment, and not involvement: it is the one un-involving sense that man possesses. All his touch, and taste and smell and movement and sound, these are all profoundly involving experiences. •But sight is easily the least involving, the most detached of our senses. Therefore, as in a mere matter of the imparting of knowledge, there is no question that the written word is the least effective in making an impress. But the child sitting in front of T. V. is undergoing X-ray: T. V. is not a pictorial or visual form . October 5, 1967 Last July the ARGUS had the extreme good fortune of being able to obtain an exclusive interview with Professor Marshali McLuhan, Director of the Centre of Culture and Technology at the University of Toronto, through Day Laban. Mrs. Laban is a graduate of Lakehead, and manager of the Bookst.ore of campus, The fr!llowing is her introduction to the interview, "Professor McLuhan's views are among the most controversial and most discussed t.opics of our day. In his books, The Medium is the Message, The Gutenberg Galaxy, and Understanding Media, he makes us take a close look at the "electric age" in which we live. His philosophy had revolutionized many people's attitudes towards mass media's effeet upon culture, particularly the implications of electronic instant communication, Some go so far as to say that McLuhan is the 'original' philosopher of our age, while others are convinced that he is putting us all on. "This interview was transcribed from a tape - a tape being what McLuhan would call an extension of the fingers and the pen. That the following resembles a monologue more than an interview is due to the fact that the interviewer became more and more at a loss for intelligent questions to ask, and consequently decided to listen rather than to interupt Professor McLuhan's train of thought. "The intertiiew ended rather abruply when Professor McLuhan was called away unexpectedly. An extremely busy man, he was trying to finish two new books, Culture is Our Business, and From Cliche to Archtype (co-authored by Prof. Wilfred Watson of the Univ~rsity of Alberta, Edmonton), before leaving for Fordham University, New York, where he will occupy the Albert Schweitzer Chair in the Humanities, My concern has been to study the kind of sensory involvement that each medium of our world possesses, and many people have paid no attention to these things, so they are always puzzled when you point out that television is not a visual form at all: they just cannot imagine what you could be talking about. Television is an X-ray form! When you are sitting in front of T. V. you are being X-rayed. And the little iconoscope-tube is a very tactile form, it is like sculpture. It is a series of little dots on the screen;like a Serault painting, or like Expo: a series of little pavillions, for which the viewer has to provide the story-line. The viewer on T. v. is enormously involved. And so, when a T. V. generation of children arrive at the school or college, they are absolutely alienated by the non-involvement of the teaching. They regard it as purely "square" and they just reject it; the drop-out is a normal feature. The generation-gap developing between teacher and student, between parent and child in our time is enormous, and it is all within the past ten or fifteen years. Nothing like this ever happened in human history. And the involvement of electric forms is so complete as to decivilize Man, it turns him back into a tribal and group-oriented person, with altogheter new needs and problems. For example, the Negroes, who have lived in our midst for a long time without being admitted to the official culture or literacy in any notable degree, are suddenly liberated by T. V. and radio and such forms, and demand a freedom and a use of their freedom in this new culture, ·and they demand to be provided with identities. A tribal man, in the pursuit of identity, knows only one method: violence. Violence is a means of achieving identity, that has been familiar to people in many ages; all nations boast of the great testing of their sinews by war and conquest, as a growing_-up process. Children grow up by a kind of violence in that way.... But, in order to become civilized, literate, we did an enormous violence to our integral human nature, from which we are now rebounding or re-acting in the electric age of the integral, the all-atonce. People never know what is happening, they only know what happened in the previous age: the rear-view mirror is the only resource of any culture. The artist, however, is the one figure who demands •that people look at the present; that's why he is called a "kook'' or a "nut". "Sensible" people don't ever look at the present, they look at the past. At the immediate past, not away, way back, but just fifty years ago. Nostalgically. It's reassuring and comforting. And so the whole difficulty in our time is in getting people to look at the present sufficiently to survive. �October 5, "1967 Page 7 THE ARGUS on ARGUS You point out the inability of the television-educated child to "see ahead". Will this affect the analytical ability of generations to come? have mythol<lgy and they have their dances, and songs, and magical formulas, which include the whole of the human past. We, now, today, live magically and mythically, we no longer think that way, we just live that way. So, if you are asking whether the present curriculum is going to have any future: the answer is NO I McLUHAN ARGUS You ask about seeing ahead. What we call "seeing ahead" means looking into the rearview mirror. And it's just a joke: the ability to see ·ahead is zero in the human being. Because he is terrified of the present, let alone the future. And what is called "the future .. is always a rear-view image, a nostalgic image, whether you start with Plato or move on to George Orwell. What they call the future is always the old culture just behind them. So the ability to look ahead in the modern child is no better than that of the great men of the past: it is an ability that does not exist I ARGUS Will the television-educated child still be fascinated with such things as History, or Philosophy, or Literature? McLUHAN Nol Simply because they are all present simultaneously. There is no "past". Under electric conditions there is no past, there is only an all-at-onceness, like Expo: everything at once, all the cultures of the world at the same moment. So history ceases to exist; that is, history as a kind of perspective, over-the-shoulder, retro spec t. This is meaningless. Today, any child can go to any part of the world, by one means or another, and inspect the archaeological remains or the cultures of any part of the world. There is no question of history retaining any of its former authority: history belongs only to literacy. Tribal people, instead of history, No, I'm not really ask:l.n~ that, but I was leading up to the question: "Do you believe that if this type of interest will cease that this will improve or hamper Man's creativity?" It seems to me that it is almost a return to the medieval way of life. . . . McLUHAN Much earlier: tribal, primitive. We are there now, it is not something that is going to happen to us "some day". We have already achieved this return to tribal primitivism. You don't have to be reminded of Watts or Detroit. It's here. And Yorkville Street, or the Hippies or Haighters and so on are only a very slight indication of what is actually around us, and of the depth of these changes. After all, even the age of Sigmund Freud was _an age of return to the most tribal memories. ARGUS In that case, where are we going? McLUHAN We are not going anywhere I We are already in this very deep. Oh, allright, if you want an answer to where you are going: we are going to orbit. There are no more roads, there are no more paths and there are no more goals. In an electric age, there are no goals. Everything happens at once. You are involved in the total human situation simultaneously, from all angles simultaneously; you cannot have a goal. Goals belong to a quite different culture of the static, literate type. So: we are going into orbit. Now, when you go into orbit in a capsule,_ you have to take the planet with you. That means you live in a totally programmed environment. And a feature of the future, which is already here, is already indicated in the capsule: we use the environment as a teaching machine. Instead of putting teachers and students and classrooms inside environments, we program the environment itself as a teaching machine.... That's where we are going, but that is also where we are. We're there now. This·hasalready happened. It is not something that is going to happen: it happened. Some time ago. But we don't lilce to pay attention to the present: it's terrifying I The only thing that reassures is the nostalgic, the "old stuff". That is why people always hark back to the old situations. Like Westerns. The ordinary person today nostalgically lives in Bonanza-land. It's safer there. LAKEHEAD UNIVERSITY UBRARY ---OBSOLETE BEFORE COMPLETED? �r"age 8 October 5, 1967 THE ARGUS civil liberties denied Censorship Charges Fund for fine initiated Four Lakehead University students initiated a project late last week to raise money to help pay the fine of a man Unfounded convicted in Toronto on a charge of obstructing the police. Charges of censorship in the library circulated among students last week. The issue arose when an undergraduate student asked at the circulation desk for a photo-copy of pictures in a recent issue of "Realist" magazine. The pictures are said to depict Walt Disney characters engaged in activities of a sexual nature. The student, who requested that his name not be printed, was asked to return to the desk later. When he did so, he was informed that the librarian, Mr. Belton, wanted to speak to him before photo - cop i e s were made. The student replied that he wouldn't bother. Later it was reported that the Realist was not on the shelves. In an ARGUS interview, Mr. Belton was asked about the censorship issue. He replied, "I would emphasize that I did not say that we would not do the photo-copy. I merely wanted to speak to the young man." When it was pointed out that usually photo-copies were made without this formality, Mr. Belton explained that he was legally able to make only one photo-copy of articles under copy-right without the author's permission. The "Realist" pictures apparently came within this classification. Mr. Belton explained that the photo-copying facilities are provided for people who want research material copied, and "I needed convincing that it (the Realist feature) was for research.'' He said . that he suspectetl the student wanted a photocopy just to show friends, and he doubted that the copying facilities should be used for this purpose. The man, John Napiorkowski, was fined $25 after he intervened when he saw a policeman beating up a young man. The policeman called Napiorkowski a "f . . . ing foreigner." When Napiorkowski grabbed the policeman by the arm, he was arrested. The complete transcript of the trial was printed in the "Globe antl Mail" of September 28, and can be viewed in the ARGUS office. The students, Karl Goodwin, Chad Hannah, Owen Marks, and Rod Phillips, believed that the transcript showed a miscarriage of justice. For instance, Napiorkowski was denied his basic civil rights. A notice, soliciting contributions to help pay the fine, was posted in the cafeteria. At press-time it is not known how much has been collected. The project has had radio and press coverage in the Lakehead. static regression And men were. phony. And they hated themselves and spent their time telling how contented they were.

DATELINE CANADA Policy voice for U of W students WINNIPEG (CUP) -- The Students' Association of the University of Winnipeg has been granted two seats on the policy steering committee of the University's Board of Regents. Tom Mercer, student council vice-stick, said September 25 that the move resulted from executive negotiations with the administration during the summer months. "We wondered if maybe two were enough,'' he added, The committee, which recommends policy to the board of regents, already has representatives from the board itself, and from the faculty of the University, David Campbell, senior stick, and Alan Goddard treasurer of the Students' Association, will hold the seats. ' Mr. Goddard welcomed the move towards open decisionmaking, in that it would clarify the admf,nistration's plans for expansion of the University. Mr. Goddard's department is studying the possibility of incorporation, and considering a study of union building plans for the Students' Association. Mount Royal plans four-day week CALJ?ARY (CUP) -- Students at Mount :e,.oyal Junior College this year have achieved the working man's dream -a four-day work week. The new system, which includes ninety-minute classes and fourteen hour days, is planned so students a11d faculty can mix in unscheduled Monday sessions. Last year there were complaints that students finishing one-hour tutorials and regular classes were forced to wait for their classmates to finish three hour labs, before they were able to go on to the next class. Now students may go directly to private conference with instructors instead of wasting time and classroom space. Original plans to schedule tutorials and seminars on l\fa11days have been scrapped so the day may be completely unstructured, One drawback to the new system is the need for some high school teachers to cover a definite amount of material for departmental examinations. They are worried the loss of a day will effect their work for them. MacDonald tries same hoax, loses Ronald Ivan MacDonald, affectionately remembered at Lakehead University as "Plump David", has been charged with uttering forged documents at Kimberley, B.C. Senior students will recall the sensation' caused at the Lakehead just two years ago when this same man had his fingers slapped for using forged credentials from the University of Missouri to gain employment at L. U. Dr, David MacDonald, as he was known then, was head of the Psychology Depart- ment here for two years be-. fore a Toronto newspaper· reporter caught· wind of a story concerning him, It was originally thought that MacDon al d was the Gr~t Impo~tor -- a man whose illicit ·escapades have gained world renown, as well as providing the subject material for a Hollywood f ilin. MacDonald had not even approached the magnitude of this notorious character's romantic grandeur in 1965. But from all appearances he is still trying. India has language problems NEW DELHI (CUP) -- Canada is not the only country with its language problems -- India has a language issue more threatening to that country's unity than the current French-English battle in Canada, The issue erupted this month with the resignation of Indian External Affairs Minister M. C. Chagla over a cabinet decision to phase out English as the language of instruction in universities over the next five years. India at present uses the English language in administration, education, government, and civil service. The government plans to phase English out of the universities in favour of regional languages in five years for undergraduate level of instruction, and ten years at all other levels. Chagla said such a move would lower academic as well as administration standards. He said he is one of those who believed "Hindi must ultimately replace English and play the unifying role that English plays today" But he said this change-over must be gradual so as not to undermine the unity of the country. School Board officials in KJ.mberley were informed September 26 by a former Lakehead resident that the man they had hired to teach psychology had been dismissed from Lakehead University for "irregularities in application forms". The Port Arthur News-Chronicle that his name this time was James Colin MacDougall from McGill. The News-Chronicle also reported that the Kimberley school boa'.rd are pressing charges against Macl)pnald, He may not get off as lightly this time as he did here in Port Arthur. A short trial, a $500 fine, and a day in the local clink was all he received, • While at the Lakehead, MacDonald was very active in many Port Arthur institutions. He did psychology work for St. Joseph's Hospital and ,for the Ontario Hospital. After his trial in June I 966, he said he would return to the United States to finish his education in psychology. He also said he would work in this area' "in a field in which I am intereSted ". Then he receded into the memories of students, friends, and curious spectators. Seats on Senate, but no nominees Editorial sparks fund withdrawal PHILADELPHIA (CUP-CPS) --A retired businessman has withdrawn a $250,000 bequest to the University of Pennsylvania because of an editorial in the student newspaper calling for the resignation of the university's president. James Miller Glicker, who attended the Penn Law School objected because the newspaper has Hplayed it Hard on th~ ears" in its treatment of the president. The paper printed the editorial last spring and reprinted it thJ.s fall. It suggested that President Gaylord P. Harnwell had accomplished a good deal in his 14 years as president but it was time for him to step down in favor of a younger man. Glicker said he heard excerpts of the editorial on a local radio station and that it offended him and his wife deeply. He told members of the Daily Pennsylvanian staff that having excerpts from the editorial "broadcast to 30 million people" was the wrong way to handle the situation. Glicker suggested that the newspaper staff ought to consult alumni, particula:r;J.y wealthy alumni, before taking such editorial stands. "Penn will pay for this," he added, saying he would give his money to another Ph,iladelphia school, instead of the university, "When you speak over the radio, every 'nigger', everybody else, .hears the whole damn thing," he said. "All kinds of garbage mop this up and all the Communist types love it." Glicker said he didn't particularly like Harnwell but that he wouldn't have done what the paper did. He said he had met the president six or seven times. CRESTED UNIVERSITY JACKETS Wool - Nylon - Poplin CRESTED SWEAT SHIRTS Long and Short Sleeve VANCOUVER (CUP) -- No nominations for student senators have appeared yet at UBC. The senate, the university's highest academic body, decided to allow students into their sanctum in a meeting last May. The move came after Y.ears of lobbying by students and proponents of academic reform. UBC is one of the last universities in Canada to admit student representation to its governing bodies. . Nominations for the positions have been open since the first day of registration, Elections are planned for or before October 31. Un~er ground rules established by the senate, any student candidate would have to have attained at least second-class standing in a full program of studies in the winter session preceding his election. In the AMS-supervised elections a separate ballot will be given to students registered in the faculty of graduate studies. The ballot will contain only grad. student candidates. Undergraduates will elect three other senators on another ballot. The candidate getting the most.votes will hold office .for two years. Candidates placing second and third will be a senator for a year. BLOOM'S FABRICS & LADIES WEAR Imported Fabrics for formal, casual and sports wear 23 Cumberland St S.

In an interview with Mr. Henry Akerval, the ARGUS was assured that Lalcehead expects to become a strong contender in cross-country meets next year. He sums up the situation for this year in these words: "~oss-country •racing . at L.l.l. is still in the embryonic stage. We did receive invitatidns to attend •meets this fall at Bemidji on September 30, and at Brock Univers,ity. It was also suggested that we CASH! for your- textbooks sell those books!

FOLLETT COLLEGE BOOK COMPANY • Chicago might participate in the Ont a r i o Inter-Collegiate meet. But at the time, we lacked one basic requirement necessary to attend these meets -- we didn't have a team." Since then Mr. Akerval has either pleaded with, cajoled, or '.shanghaied ten of our athletes about campus to form our soon-to-be-famous cross-country team. These stout-hearted lads train daily by running over Lake head's 2.05 mile course. Mr. Akerval rates this course as easy. "A good course has variety -- up hills and down hills over a varied terrain," he said. "I have to say ours is an easy course, for three quarters of it is clear straight-way. How.... ever, it is being lengthened to tp.ree mileE! to -fccommodate the N.W.o.s.S.A. meet on October 28. I believe the lengthened course should present more of a challenge.'' COURSE NEEDS MARKING The course was studied in your the minutest detail possible, while running it. The main complaint against the course is its complete lacl~ of markings. For example it is quite easy to make a wrong turn and be forced to ask an A &W car-hop for directions. Another suggestion which may make the course safer for the runners is that they be supplied with safety hats and water wings; the former being for protection against errant golf balls on the section of the course adjacent to the Port Arthur Golf and Country Club, while the latter being a precautionary measure in case some unfortunate runner strays from the unmarked path and unexpectedly finds himself in the McIntyre River. But take heart crosscountry men. Inasmuch as misery enjoys company, you shall find that you will be crowded off the course each Tuesday and Thursday. On these ·days, all members of the hockey, basketJ;>a.11, and ski_ teams must run the course as part of their preseason conditioning.

This year Frank Mahovlich is reportedly signing for $40,000. Fine. But where does this leave Al Stanley in the wage bracket? Everyone knows that the "pensionless wonder" is the real inspirational ·leader of the blue and white. Each time the other Leaf players see Stanley on the ice they are inspired (or must be inspired if they want to win). Stanley, always a very talkative, yet exceedingly modest person, is famous for his humour. Perhaps his best occurred after last year's Stanley Cup game when he was questioned about his retirement. Stanley's answer was something like: . "I think 111 keep playing. I wasn't the slowest player out on the ice tonight." My only question for Stanley is "Who was the slowest?" But let's get back to contract talks. In my humble opinion, I think AI should receive at least 20 grand a year just for putting on his skates and another $10,000 for not being the slowest man on the ice. Since Stanley also made famous the poke check, he should collect a $5000 bonus plus royalties on that check. Also, with Al playing, each other Leaf rear guard should receive a $5000 bonus for playing with the veteran. Sometimes Al seems to give them more trouble than opposing forwards. One sometimes wonders if Mr. Stanley really is Jack Benny in disguise, although Benny is only 39. Dr. George Men-ill by Larry Hebert The accompanying pictures show members of the Athletic Board at Lakehead University. This Board is instrumental in determining the athletic policy ofour university. Perhaps their gr~atest project to date is the building of the gymnasium complex which will shortly be completed. For this, I congratulate them. Next, I hope they will vote in favour of athletic scholarships or some type of grantin-aid for athletes at Lakehead. Such a vote is definitely against the thought of most Canadian universities but I think our Athletic Board is modern and open-minded enough to take and stand by such a decision. Mr. Harry Elmslie *** This year I think the Athletic Department and the SAS should try to bring some of the athletes who speak at the Legion's Sports Dinner to the university. They could possibly invite these athletes over for an afternoon assembly preceding the dinner. *** Another example of one of the rising stars in local hardball is Don Latimer. Don is in his first year at Lakehead. He played with the Italian Club that won the local hardball championship. Don earned the award of Super-Sub with his many clutch performances. *** In a recent letter to the Times-Journal, George Seagris ' B r Jt ,- lt 1d t- ry n- ,m n- in JS- as rou be ach On s of and the ?re- ts came up with a novel idea for local high school football. He proposed that the high school teams schedule some of their games for Sunday afternoons in lieu of the absence of rhe Redskins from t:he football scene this year. I personally think it is a great idea. Some coaches think there would be too much competition on Sunday afternoons with the NFL telecasts. I don't agree. Most girls are not interested in the NFL, so they would gladly come out to see friends and boyfriends play. And since girls are the objects that attract girl-watchers, there would be no trouble attracting males. Others feel that -the students would not go for the idea since they would not miss any school to get out to see the football teams in action. As it is now, the students only get out to see home double-headers during the week. By having each senior team play only one game or two at the most) each year on a Sunday, I think the students would still be happ'9'. In the future, I think the S.S,S.A.A. should seriously consider the possibilities of scheduling Sunday games at both stadiums, alternately. This year the s.s.s.A.A. also had a new format for the annual bowl game proceeds of which go to the United Appeal. The top three senior teams in each city played each other while two junior teams from each city tangled. Port Arthur came out victorious 4 -- 0. This new format seemed to make the game go faster and created more fan interest. The idea of five stop-time quarters (figure that one out, Math majors) was good. The F. W. C.-1. girls were in good form as they retained their cheerleading title for the second straight year.

Contradictions prove inefficiency by Chuck Grieve (Editor) AMS Treasurer Don Lees smiles grimly at the second meeting of the senior Arts students. Lees acte~ as chairman of all the meetings. No Calendar. Requirements changed. The memorandum. It all adds up to one thing. Confusion and inefficiency where there is no room for either. What powers do faculty have at registration? They seem to be there for some purpose. The instructions said to consult faculty members to ensure that courses to meet the requirements were taken. Presumably these scholars should know what they are supposed to be doing. But according to the memorandum they are nothing but clerks. Clerks, to approve courses whic:h then must be approved by the Deans. But who is the Dean? With an impressive title like that surely he must be someone of great imponance and of inestimable value to the university. Why, just look at the implications in the memorandum. This one person is Dean, chief registrar, and probably bottle washer to boot. No wonder that they give him such a title. Who is his boss? God knows_. but rumours have it that something called the Senate tells him what to do. Who is the senate? The Senate is a body of people who call meetings every now and then to discuss the students and what is good for them. They are the ones who are z:esponsibleforthe academic requirements as laid down in the Calendar, the one that missed registration by two weeks. The ones who replied so sweetly to the Committee•s letter in a resolution of their own which said absolutely nothing but which did give some indication that they were actually there. This then is the elusive answer to the big question. The final power is supposed to rest in the Senate.

Just where is anyone's guess. Mostofthem are disint•3rested in the Administration end of this big business cam~d education. Wherever the power does lie., at present it most cenainly does not lie with the students. But the students are being used as a scape-goat. Responsibility for an error made somewhere in the upper beaurocratic reaches of the Administration has been thrust upon the shoulders of the students. We will not be held responsible for someone else's errors. And in our present state we cannot effectively enaure future students that they too will not have this responsibility shoved upon them unless we are pres~nt where and when the errors are committed. Therefore we must have representation on the Senate. The Sen:ite cannot skin the issue by throwing morsels to the pack in the form of resolution sympathizing with the students but saying nothing. Nor can they put off the question by adjourning for two weeks as soon as the issue has been raised. If they had any respect for the positions of respona!bility which they occupy, they would have the decency to meet with the students and to discuss the problem. The Senate's resolution •endorses the review., already in progress; of the students' programmes'. They •succec,1 in snowing no one but themselves into thinking that this will appease the people for whom they deliberate. For this is not the issue. It is only the threshold of the barred door to representation. Too long has the myth of the Senate over-awed the humble student. We will not be- beaten back from our objective this time. supe~ hippy Upon numerous queries and requests into the •superhippy' faction on campus we have attempted to look into the 'flower children' who are apparently blossoming all around us. It looks as if these people have conformed to the university community rather well in that they 'tune-in' on T. v. lectures., are seemingly 'turned-on' by the social functions and occasionally 'drop-out' at the Crest. To paraphrase an old addage: 'It's not the beard and hair that makes the hippy'. Our down· to eanh friends like to raise hell., and that's about all. I have yet to see any real constructive criticism levelled towards anything. They make their views plain and then sit about snickering to themselves when they've managed to suck-in an unknowing frosh regarding the economic feasability of doing away with hoe-handle carvers. This is done through impressive terminology mixed with a less than general knowledge of a pseudo-vocabulary. Reminders of the week-end hipsters, and the summer vacation swingers are brought clearly into view and help to give this institution the atmosphere of Flin Flon High and Vocational Training Centre. This, which I might add., is one of their chief complaints. If what I have outlined to you now appears to be your cupof-tea., then the ingredients for the mix are as follows: add - 1 cup of the milk of human blindness, - 1 troubled childhood., (wherein Mom an' Dad just don't dig their groovy son) - a measure., (large) of suseptibility to established cop-out anists and crap pushers, - 1 heaping 'tea' spoon of genuine Yorkville imitation peads and plastic flowers., - 1 delapidated ego, (in need of strong reassurance) and a dash of Jean Paul Sartre just for speech flavour. Also available is the 'HIPPY KIT' for all discouraged young students who don't like messes and mixing. This allows for the instant type-cast effect., and will not, under any circumst~ces., be sold to mature individuals. I would like to add that these kits are available from anyone mentioning 'freak-outs' or 'love-ins'. ch. election meeting farce The ARGUS had to stoop to blackmail theA.M.S. the other day to ensure the rule of law during the A.M.S. elections. The A.M.S. Constitution states that candidates for the A.M.S. Council havetomeettheelectorateina town hall meing of this type was scheduled for the day before the election. Originally scheduled for 12~15 p.m•., the meeting was not announced over the public address system until almost 12.30 p.m. By 12.45 p.m. ., there were eight students and six candidates in the University Theatre. Chief Justice Ben Baumann, who appeared to be in charge., decided that the meeting should be cancelled because of the poor attendance. At this point., the ARGUS News Editor threatened that if'the meeting were not held., the ARGUS would declare the next day's election unconstitutional and invalid. The meeting took place. Eight students attended as an audience. Six out of eleven candidates spoke (one candidate., who had to fly to Montreal., had had toleavewhenthemeetingdidnot take place on time). Perhaps the A.M. s. should reconsider the clause in the Constitution which makes this kind of meeting mandatory. Either this., or it should organize the meetings properly. rgp.

" �October 12, 1967 THE ARGUS Page 3 Cuba - a country under pressure Approximately 80 people in .the University Theatre on SUnday, October 3, heard a lecture on modernday Cuba. The Rev.JohnMorgan,of the First Unitarian Congregation, Toronto, spoke on 'Journey into Revolution: Impressions of an April visit to Cuba.• Mr. Morgan, in the Lakehead to investigate lndianproblems, touched on many aspects of modern Cuban life in his lecture,but concentrated on the educational aspect. Mr. Morgan stressed that education in Cuba is much different from education in North America. 'I have mentioned the Cuba-U.S.A. involvement because unless you under stand what nine years of such tension can mean, you will not under stand some of the things you see and hear in Cuba; you would not, for instance, understand the meaning of much that goes on in Cuban schools, many of which I visited, both in the city and in the countryside. Canada faces no such problem; what we do for the most part in our schools is attempt to teach children and young people the fundamentals of learning -- reading, mathematics, history, science, geography and so on. We do not only try to prepare young people to live in a world of business and industry and science, but also to appreciate literature and the Don Colbome JS During registration week some students discovered rather blatant evidence of nonintentional racial discrimination in the machinations of the Student Housing Bureau. Being gutsier than most, they got involved. They expressed moral indignation in action. They might as easily have tried smuggling the Encyclopedia Ulcrainlana past the rent~-:-cop in the library. They forgot revolutionary aviom No. 1: Those who are not hypocrites are shit disturbers.• They were discredited and abused for taking independent action on a moral issue. The issue itself was pasteurized and homogenized by the university -machine in a manner that would dp L. B. J. •s P.R. men justice. Ask any administration or student functionary about it today and he will tell you that: (1) Those uppity students (read: niggers) have been put in their place; (2) The poor button-down minds who made that one little mistake have been forgiven (by the great computor in the sky?); (3) Everything will be alright next year; and (4) the university's good name has been preserved. Mellow Yellow _ This is roughly what happened: Student A (none want to be named ..... who wants to be weiner in a sausage factory) discovered 'white only' on the card he was handed by the Housing Bureau. He got student B to help him randomly check 'about 50' other cards in the file and, when no one was around photostatted 14 numbers which clearly stated social, ethnic,' or religious preference and one which said (of all the unlfkely things) 'No Preference'. A then spoke to Mr. Kerr, Dean of Students, about what they had discovered. 'Maybe I made a mistake,• he said later but he wasn't satisfied that the issue would be dealt with. He knew that the H.B. was uptight about his presuming to Judge upon their little empire; and he was convinced that the buck does not necessarily stop in the Office of the Dean of Students. So, A and B went to the Human Rights Commission where they discovered that, in this case, the Human Rights Code did not apply to educational institutions. (Aha) Their only out was a test case so they got friend C (coloured and from Trinidad) and friend D (WASP) to ask for accommodation at two of the homes listed as discriminatory. At one of them C was turned down and D accepted. At the other both were accepted. Thus armed they returned to the Human RiteA Commission.Meetings were held and planned between the University and the H.B. Commission and the waves will be smothered. Groovy. That's all they wanted. The issue was simple. The Housing Bureau was not aware of the implications of its 'expedious' policy of 'trying to match students to homes' by asking landlords what sort of students they preferred. The bureau was too thick to realize that this rather unsophisticated approach could at best reveal, and at worst create, the most vulgar sort of stereotype prejudice. Did they expect a subtle personality description (imagine: •yes, a gentle boy with a disposition towards stoicism and perhaps an interest in the sorreal school would feel very athomehere)orwhattheybegged for; Meaningless top of the head generalizations (Oh, a nice polish girl would be fine.) Enough said, this column has already explored the conceptual gaps of student bureaucrats. The issue is now effectively closed. The problem will be solved in time for next year. The pimple that remains to be pinched is the cruddy attitude taken by our local rednecks towards A,B,C, & D, students who dared to practice what they' believed in. They catalyzed an important policy change and went to a great deal of sincere trouble. Their thanks was to be branded as troublemakers and subversive. Their political affiliations (backwoods paranoia) were discredited and they will certainly never be consulted, despite obvious interest, in the formation of new policies. Maybe this place is already a Yellow SUbmarine. Maybe this machine is already bigger than the people in it. Maybe the university is not as far behind Newark and Detroit as some would like to believe.

It is not glamorous, it is not romantic, it is hard. I have never seen anything like it in my life, except perhaps the conditions under which people lived in the second World War when in many countries it was like living in one great organized camp. Well, Cuba is not that, but it is a country living under enormous pressure, and that pressure is felt in all institutions, on all levels, and it is felt directly in the schools.' .Al.l applicants must 1,1rri te exar:ination to be 'held at 7?M, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 17, 1967 j_ Y' Room 106, Main !3Jdg., .Port Arthur, Cmt.

The meeting lasted three hours and covered many topics of great importance to students. The chronic problem of insufficient seating in the cafeteria was again raised. The main cause of the problem seemed to be that students were using valuable cafeteria space for cardplaying. It was suggested that, to alleviate the problem card-playing be confined to the Great Hall, where tables and chairs would be provided for that purpose.

I would be The issue was the forthcoming provincial election and the university students' awareness of the candidates and issues. During the heated one hour debate, members of the province's 20 universities, community colleges and technical institutions argued the merits of a 'negative• approach, presented in a three-point resolutionbyYorkandCarleton Universities. This 'stay away' or 'spoil ballot' campaign was proposed to 'indicate dissatisfaction with recent Ontario party politics.' This drew varied criticisms from the floor, as did another resolution which had the OUS printing up leaflets stating 'the demeaning attitude of candidates' to the electorate. Terry Sulyma, a member of the OUS secretariat of last year• said it was time for 'action now', by using the leaflets, in order to make the public 'aware of the kind of garbage the politicians are talking.' According to Glendon campus. this was not the way to handle the situation. In a directive to help make students more aware, pointers on 'how to blow your candidate's mind', how to set up meetings with candidates and how to prepare and respond to a hostile audience were outlined. The discussion also swung to the Union• s support of a candidate who most closely represented a student-oriented stand. Don Posluas, McMaster University, found that 'it is pretty obvious that there is only one party near (the stand).• This party, (NDP), was the one to support. But Colin McKinnon, Universite d'Ottawa, disagreed telling the delegates, 'let's not ha.ve an OUSendorsementof a party that is doomed to failure, therefore lessening the chance to communicate with the new government.• The only part of the resolution receiving majority approval was embodied in a document entitled 'Mr. Politician -- tell me please.• The OUSexecutive effort contained the responses of leading candidates to pertinent questions. These questions would form the basis for the compiling of similar documents, to be drawn up by the separate universities and their candidates. All were to be submitted to the OUS office by Oct. 12 for press distribution Tom Faulkner, President of the University of Toronto, assured the delegates that his committee 'will urge the positive way', but that 'if we feel that the politicians have failed the province, then we will urge them to stay away from the ballot.• In the final count, the two radical stands were defeated: one by a nine to four count. and the other by an eight to eight vote.

Although it was an exciting experience for both teams, especially Boston, I still think there was something lacking in the whole affair. This can also be said for the past three Series•, for 1964 was the last time that the once powerful Yankees participated in the fall classic. I am not a Yankee fan., but when they are not in a Series., the fan excitement generated seems to be lessened. When the Yankees played in a series, everyone was interested. Either you were a Yankee fan or you were one of the majority who hoped for the National League representative., mainly because you wanted to see the great Yankee dynasty crushed. A team which happened to beat the Bronx Bombers was certain to be given the highest praise because it had defeated the best team in baseball and perhaps one of sport's all time great dynasties. Yes., the Yankees used to be an institution in the World Series, but the great New York baseball myth is no more. * * * * * Speaking of baseball., Dr. George Merrill of the English D~partment is certainly thrilled over the fact that Boston won the pennant. George 'Yastrzemskl' Merrill, a former Bostonian, Just has to be their number one fan. He feels Yastrzemskl will win the M. V.P. and the Cy Young Awards. The latter will be won for the two strikes to the bases he threw nabbing Javier in the Series, and Allison in the final set with the Twins. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Seems Pentti Lund of the T.J. in Fort William Is finally getting revenge on peop1e who bug him about the Boston Bruins hockey team.

This .League could be a very good one, and in the past some excellent games have been played and some fine basketball teams have been brought in for basketball booster night. It's too bad the fan and player support is so poor.

Whether Dick Beddoes thinks this will hurt the Sports Section's chances of winning a trophy from CUP is not important. The main objective Is to give some publicity to some of the athletes who will in the future be a part of L. U. athletics. In Senior football, the Fort William senior race will be very close. Ted Murphy's Bears from FWCI have a strong running attack led by Bill McEwen., Rick Sandberg., and Bill Mork. The small but agile line is led by Dave Gibbons• Collegiate has a well-balanced team, but their big problem is too many players going both ways. Selkirk Rams, coached by Dave Sutton and Bill Crocker as usual have a strong defence led by Louie Riley, Doug Henderson, and Larry Kelly. The Rams offense has looked weak this year but has also had several injuries. Top players here are tackle Nelson Scobak and backfielders John Paddington., Bob Greer and Bob Reid. Coach Ab Slivinski"s Westgate Tigers have looked imp, ressive to date. The Tigers are led offensively by Bill Sutherland, Tom Coombs, Brian Depiero, and Myron Hladyniulc. The Big Orange defence is led by Bob Shedler, John Garland, and punt return specialist Wes Eyres. In the Junior ranks, the battle foI'. number one spot will also be very tight. FWCI, coached by Mike 'Tinker• Mithrush have a potentoffenseledbyKevinMurphy, Jack Fenton, and Terry Freeman. Their defense is also very solid. At St. Pats coach Peppy Dfka has a young but talented team this year. Their spirited offense is led by Rick Bragnalo, George Letowski and Larry Zullianello. A powerful defense is headed by a hard-charging line. Selkirk has a potential winner this year under veteran coach Lee Batstone. Mike Busniuk, Bill Poshtar, Bruce Malo., and Ron Zigman lead a powerful offense while Dave Jewitt leads the defense. At Westgate after three consecutive junior championships, coach Bill France had to rebuild almost his entire team. Although definitely weakened by the loss of so many good players, Westgate still is giving a good account of themselves. John Lotysz, DannisChuchmuch, and Greg Reid stand out for the Junior Tigers. At Winston Churchill under coach Roger Bradford the Trojans are having a fine maiden season. The key here, I think, is the great spirit of the new school The team itself is on the small side but they make up for this by passing rather than running most of the time. • by Jed Drew (ARGUS staff) Port Arthur Mustangs were defeated 26-11 by St. Vital Bulldogs Sat. Sept. 30th at the Port Arthur Stadium. Bill Shannon, coach of the Mustangs and L.U. Athletic OiJ:ector, makes no excuses for the loss. 'We had a real bad game. We lost because we made more mistakes than them,' he said. Coach Shannon was pleased with the play of severalL.U. students on the team.

I agree with this observation and I feel it is no place more evident than in student's lack of support for the interfaculty sports. Each year the athletic department proposes a large and varied programme and it usually falls through because of the lack of student participation. If the people would fil)end as much time playing interform sports as they do playing bridge, we would be better off. If the boys would get up off their asses and the girls would hustle their bustles out of the overcrowded cafeteria and get out and play just one sport we would be better off. The only faculty which has good spirit and participate to the fullest extent in the interfaculty programme Is FORESTRY. As an example, they have entered three teams in the interfaculty football schedule. Can other faculties match FORESTRY'S participation and spirit in interfaculty sports? I say they can not. but I sure would like to see them try. And wherever you flnd a congenial crowd, you'll find Coca-Cola. For Coca-Cola has the refreshing taste you never get tired of.

The different events and activities that will be carried out during the coming year were discussed by the people present. The biggest item on the agenda was the model parliament to be held later this academic year. It was noted that the club hopes to run a full complement of candidates during the election for model parliament. W. A. (Bill) Bartley, tentative president, expressed his appreciation for the turn-out and invites anyone interested in Joining the club to com:act either a member of the club or himself. He also noted and gave fair warning to the Liberal and NOP clubs on campus. 'Here we come so look out!' he said.

Tremble VOLUME II, No. V LAKEHEAD UNIVERSITY, PORT ARTHUR, ONTARIO COUNCIL THREATENS The confrontation between students and administration at Lakehead University appears to have been resolved. At an 'informal" emergen.. cy meeting at the home of the University President, Dr. W. G. Tamblyn, it was agreed that demands made by the A.M.S. Council on October 13th. would be met. Events leading up to this emergency meeting are as follows: On Tuesday, October 10th., the University Senate met in session to deal with points raised by students. The Senate issued five resolutions which appeared to satisfy all student complaints. The resolutions were read by Dean of Students, John Kerr, to an emergency meeting of the A.M.S. Council that night, and clarified by Registrar (and Secretary of the Senate) Donald E. Ayre. A general meeting of all students was called for Friday, October 13th. Two hundred and fifty students attended to hear Chairman of the ad hoc committee, set up to deal with the situation, outline the committee's tivities to that date. ac- Julie Wierzbicki Chairman Julie Wierzbicki, Arts III, pointed out that a report in one of the Lakehead dailies that "students were satisfied" was a misrepresentation. "The students are not satisfied" she said. The newspaper report was based on the Senate resolutions. Miss Wierzbicki pointed out, however, that these resolutions were in fact only •rough drafts of the Senate • resolutions, and were not official. She also stated that students had great difficulty in interpreting the resolutions which were very ambiguous. Miss Wierzbicki continued that letters sent to students, which approved or rejected their courses, were also unofficial, and that courses would be reviewed again in April. This meant, in theory, that a student could get his programme approved now but rejected in April, and therefore be unable to graduate. October 19, 1967 EIGHT PAGES SIT-IN editorial Miss Wierzbicki then spoke at length on the long-term consequences of the present situation. BOYCOTT URGED At this point, the meeting was thrown open to coonments and suggestions from the floor. Debate was heated at times as students argued the pros and cons of accepting the Senate's resolutions and of taking stronger action. Finally Pat O'Neill,· Arts I, moved that students stage a token boycott of classes. Debate raged further until it was moved and passed that the A.M.S. Council, representing all the students, retire and vote on the boycott. The Council retired to an in camera meeting in the Board Room and returned after 50 minutes with a motion calling upon the Ad.ministration to comply with four points. The Council ( 1) requested the resolutions passed by Senate to be made official, (2) requested the letters sent to students to be made official, (3) requested that the duties, responsibilities, a n d functions of all university personel be defined, and ( 4) requested the establishment of a student-faculty-administration committee (two from each) to study the power structure at Lakehead University, and pass down its findings and any recommendations by January 30, 1968. T h e Council resolution stated that if these were not met by Monday, it would stage a sit-in in the office of the Dean of Arts, Dr. Gordon Rothney. by Rod Phillips (news editor) President W. c. Tamblyn day, President Tamblyn called the emergency meeting at his home in Fort William. Invited were members of the University Committee, although A.M.S. President Peter Young stated in a telephone interview late Sunday night that "it almost seems a University Committee because of the people invited, but it wasn' t an c,ff1c.1.al University Committee ~eeting." Invited were students Peter Young, Don Lees (A.M.S. Treasure), Don Cordingly (A.M.S. Councillor), George P a d d i n g t o n (University Schools society President), Pentti Paularraine (Arts Society President) and Don Bergman (Science Society President); faculty member D. MacKenzie; and administrators W. G. Tamblyn, J. Kerr (Dean of Students), D. Morgan (Director of Finance), and C. Smith (Director of Physical Plant). 'l'he ARGUS was not informed of the meeting. It was agreed that the students' points would be met and announced to a general student meeting on Monday at 12:30 p.m. - half an hour before the one o'clock deadline set by A.M.S. Council. Positive action, or the threat of it, seems to have provided just what was needed to force the Administration to meet student requests. But success, if there is success, is not due to the activities of the A.M.S. Executive and Council or to the ad hoc committee. These bodies have a record of procrastination and of taking ill-considered actions. In the beginning, the ad hoc committee, set up to examine the issues, was far too exclusive to have any popular appeal. This may have been due to the fact that the memorandum was thought initially to affect only third and fourth-year students. But when it was realized that the memorandum could also affect first and second-year students, the committee should have been modified accordingly. The members of the committee were unable to agree among themselves. This was painfully obvious at the October 5 meeting after the departure of Deans Rothney and Kerr. The mam cause of the meeting's chaotic conclusion was that the committee, already too large, was unable to present a united front to students. Then there has been the lack of communciations (which one expects at Lakehead University) between the committee and thP 1r!M1 __ _,,. • the crisis has been done "behind the scenes", and knowledge of events was thus confined to a small in-group. The student body was given only rough outlines when it met at poorlyorganized general meetings. The committee could hardly expect students to become enthuisastic about issues on which they are not informed. Students should have been kept constantly in touch with developments; they might then have shared the sense of urgency which was felt by the committ~ For most students, the last weeks have been routine, punctuated now and agam by notices and announcements of general meetings. The effectiveness of these was demonstrated by the poor attendance at the meetings. The petition to the A.M.S. Council was good strategy, but the committee seemed to lose interest in it after one day's signature-collecting. In that one d~y, almost 500 students signed the petition; in another day, the committee could easily have had the signatures of the majority of the students. But for some reason, it just didn't bother. Only at the October 13 general meeting did students seem to realize the full significance of the situation. It was at this meeting that the motion to boycott classes was made and the A.M.S. Council retired to consider the motion. But what the A.MS. gained in student enthusiasm was almost lost when Council decided to meet in camera. There was no reason why it should have done so unless it feared that its petty bickering would leave it open to ridicule. And these are the people who will probably later call for student representation on the Senate and the Board of Governors, and will pay lip service to the principle of open decision-making. Yet despite these examples - and there are many moreof student ,mismanagement of the situation, success appears to have been achieved. Let us hope that members of the A.M.S. Executive, Council, and ad hoc committee, do not feel that this success proves the validity of their strategy. It does not necessarily do so. Easy to criticize? In a case like this, it certainly is. Registrar D. Ayre The motion was relayed to the Registrar as soon as it had been announced to students. The threat of a sitin was given full publicity in the Fort William "TimesJ oumal" the next day, tiut not mentioned in the Port Arthur "News-Chronicle". EMERGENCY MEETING The following day, $\lll- -> AMS President Young Asked what A.M.S. Council would do if compliance with points was not announced by one o'clock. Peter Young stated that the sit-in would still not be held "because we have been assured that our demands will be met." PLAY TO BE PRESENTED The Cambrian Players will present George Bernard Shaw's "Arms and the Man" in the University Theatre on October 25, 26, and 27, with a student matinee on Saturday the 28th.

Miss Wilson was here last week to advise the AMS on budget and constitution business. She took some time out for a beer and to talk candidly about where Lakehead University was at. Rather than shoot off my mouth this week I'll noncommitally quote what she had to say. "Before I came," she said, "I had heard Lakehead referred to as "Lunkhead U." so didn't know what to expect. She didn't find much. On the students: "very conservative . . . they really believe the message in the student handbook that tells them that they are privileged to be here . . . they have been sucked into the middle class notion that education is to train you for a job and success . : . they are convinced that somebody up above knows best." On student responsibility: "People here don't seem to realize that they have a responsibility for their own education. They cannot participate in University government both because they are not aware of it's benefits to them, and because of the authoritarian type of education offered. People here don't have ·a chance to develop this responsibility." On education: "Very few people seem to have done any real thinking about what education is . . . why they are here . . . how education relates to society . . . why students should be concerned with University government and its correlation with the educational process." On the AMS: "They don't realize what University government is all about. It is a 'high school' student government which conducts little if any educative function. On 'student power' (LU style): The administration is so nice.' For example the representation on the Board of Governors is a farce- . . . it is worse than -tokenism; it's a sham. They only call in students for certain issues. The University Committee is just another channel. Representation on the Senate is a bribe being offered to cover the reality that very basic change is needed." On the calendar issue: "Rules will be bent so most people aren't hurt. The University Committee will study University government and the issue will die. I hope it doesn't. But unless students stand up for their rights through action, it will. I was appalled at the first meeting at the lack of reasoning behind what was happening. There was no analysis of principles . . . people were reacting emotionally. The idea seemed to be to patch up what they thought was wrong with no concern for the University power structure. They were willing to be satisfied with tokenism. On freedom: "I used the phrases 'radical action' and 'student power' at a committee meeting. It was as if I had sworn at a private gi!rl's school . . . it was a complete and utter shock to the students there." Miss Wilson is of course an "outside agitator" according to the less syrupy members of the administration and not to be listened to by us quiet children huddled in the shelter of the great gooey, ~rthodoxy called Lakehead University. letters to the editor Helping others In this age, man has made great advances technologically, scientifically, economically and educationally; it is lamentable to state that these changes have not been followed morally, socially, and spiritually. Man, to my mind, has grown too egotistical and self-centered. This era has ushered in the "dog-eat-dog" attitude, in which each individual thinks only ·of himself and , cares nothing about the people around him. Today, all of us are concerned about living a good life. We crave for all the luxuries of this world. We spare no effort to satisfy our wants, not caring that in so doing we may be injuring other human beings. How -many of us have ever taken a minute to think not only of the sufferings of the people of OU'l' land, but even of those of other countries? Have we ever thought about the sufferings of the people of India, or quite recently about the hardships endured by the countries that fell in the wrath of the recent hurricane? Maybe we have seen these things in the newspapers or maybe we have heard them mentioned over the radio or television stations. When we heard them, we became very sorry, but that is as far as we went. Embedded in our 9 w n. thoughts, we soon forgot about the sufferings of other people. We, a:s human beings, should try for one second to think of those less fortunate than us. Do you realize that there are thousands of people the world over, whO" have to go without food for the day, not because they wish it so, but because of poverty? What about the Cancer and Pollo victims? How can we assist them? It is impossible for us as individuals to go to every unfortunate person and express our sympathy. Maybe we can show our concern in a more tangible form. I am hoping' that the A.M.S. will be instrumental in forming a ''Help Others Club" or some o t h e r association whereby we as students could contribute a little of our spending money when the need arises. I am sure that in so doing, we will be happy to know that we are helping to relieve the sufferings of others. -Khalid Ali, Arts I Cafeteria Prices Sir: In the ARGUS of October 5, there appeared a letter from Sze-Chung Yuan concerning t h e cafeteria. I would like to set the record straight about a number of statements he made. 1) "Cafeteria prices are considerably lower than the m a j o r i t y of restaurants downtown." In fact, our cafeteria prices are considerably lower than the majority of restaurants downtown as our prices ' do not include a charge for overhead. 2) "The university cafeteria is under the joint management of the administration ahd an outside contractot, so half of the profit goes outside." T h e cafeteria is owned by the university and all the equipment for it is supplied by the university. Meal prices are based on the cost of food and salaries plus a small charge. Versa Foods fee is 10 percent of the total wage and food cost to the cafeteria. If there is anything left ov.er (difference betw~n total. revenue and old_ charges including Versa Foods 10 percent) Lakehead University gets the balance. Last year Lakehead University's total gross return was $3800 on $57,670 total sales (6.6%). But this money was more than used up to buy new equipment. Lakehead University actually lost $7,450 on the overall operation. 3) Residents last year complained about food." We did receive a number of complaints last year but we endeavoured to meet each of these complaints by improving the service. This year we have completely revamped our menu. The Residence Council told me that they are pleased with this year's operation. As for improvements, if anyone has suggestions for better cafeteria service, or complaints about present services, he can always come to see me. My office is µi the lower cafeteria. I am open to all suggestions. I hope that this letter may help to dispel some misconceptions which students may have about the cafeteria.

But for me the rabbit hole was not a hole at all but a hall of unconnected "I do deeclayah 's" and "You all 's". At the end of the aisle, or hole if you prefer, was the sporting goods department. It was classified as the sporting goods department but it had rakes and shovels besides. However that has no particular relevance anyhow. In the department I happened to strike up a conversation on the merits of one reel over another reel and lure versus lure. The conversation was with a negro boy of my own age and it never occured to me that he was anything but someone of my own age and sharing my own interest. He was from Detroit, and, like me, a sterotype Yankee. You know, fishing is the only respectable way to be lazy - also an irrelevant comment. We weren't particularly aware of time's passing. At least I wasn't, because I didn't have any precise destination in mind or anyone bugging me then. In any event the air conditioning selereted my morning in the store to slow up or break down; I'm not sure which. The break-down and the corresponding rise in temperature led one of us to suggest going for what I believe is referred to as - I guess I shouldn't mention that name either (trade mark registered, probably). In any event we went to the cafeteria in the store and I remember that "See Dick's New Friend" feeling. I had almost finished that somewhat uninvolved process of picking up a drink in a paper cup when "I'm sahrry suh, we cayunt serve you all." The southern Mary-Belle was addressing my friend. I don't know what happened after that. Only that psychological lump and embarrassing chill in the spine. And, thinking back, I think it was the time I filrst became aware of hate. Karl A. J.

Technocracy points out. that our present social structures comprise a Price System, which evolved during the past 7000 years ·of human toil, hand ~ls, and the resultant scarcity induced by a low energy ~xistence. Only with the introducion of exraneous energy, ~ the forms of steam, hydro-electric, and finally atomic power, did the factors of production, and hence of social organization change. The magnitude of history's first real social change can be graphically illustrated. The human animal must consume, on the average, no less than 1700 Kilo-Gram Calories of food energy for even the most sedintary existence. Less will not maintain metabolism. To perfonn work calorie intake must rise propo~ .onally. Since the human an~al can convert food energy into work at an optimum efficiency of 25 per cent, a man on a daily diet of some 5,000 K.G.C.s can perform work at the rate of only 1/ 10 ·horsepower for a 10 hour stretch. The average calorie intake for North America is 2300 K.~.C.s per capita per day. But through the use of extraneous energy, automation and cybernation over 187 000 K.G.C.s are being converted per person per' day (in 'the U.S.A. as of Sept./67). This physical work means goods and services for our econ~my ~d ~his rate of conversion belies the myth of sc~rcity maintained by those pathologists of debt, the economists. Nevertheless, the Price System distributes this abundance t~ the population through wages and salaries. Automation is displacing more and more jobs, and so reducing purchasing po~er. Wars ~f waste on foreign soil notwithstanding, the Pnce System is proving less and less capable of handling an abundance. • Te~hnocra~ Inc. has calculated that if sufficient energy consuming devices are installed, and the total amount of extran~us energy consumed reaches or exceeds 200,000 K.G.C.s per capita ~r . day, the ensuing abundance will knock the bottom ?ut of scarcity values and show the Price System up for th~ impotent imposter it is. If present trends coninue, and there 1s ample indication that they will, the Price System's modus operandi will be responsible for a social crisis of ~paralled magnitude on this Continent, Probably within eighteen months.

FURNITURE Examinations don't by Rod Phillips Presumably most of the readers of this article are at university. In which case, most of the readers will have written many examinations already in their lives. But how many have ever thought seriously about ,these examinations their purpose, their relation to education, their achievements, and so on? Probably very few. But the examination system is becoming extremely o u tmoded and in need of critical scrutiny. The following is an attempt at briefly analyzing certain aspects of the examination system, with particular reference to conditions at Lakehead University. First of all, how important are examinations to students at L a k e h e a d University? Briefly, the answer is that the results of examinations determine whether or not a student is credited with his "year." The degree of influence of examinations varies from one department - and even within departments and from one year, to another. For example, in first-year History the breakdown of the final mark is 20% to 40% term work (which includes the midyear examination), and 60% to 80% final examination. The variation is according to individual tutors. But in senior ye(lrs' History, the final examination accounts for less of the final mark, and there is generally no mid-year examination. As you can see, there is some variation in the degrees of influence oJ. examinations, but the fact remains that examinations do account for a great deal of the final mark - in many cases, in first-year especially, most of the final mark. You can see from this brief survey - as if you didn't know it anyway that examinations play an extremely important role in determining whether or not you graduate. And, general-· ly speaking, we accept this. Only at examination times do we complain that too much emphasis is placed on examinations and not enough on term work (especially if I Lakehead Unitarian Fellowship MEETS visit SUNDAY MORNING the treasure house Gron Morgan High School r at 10:30 at October 22 Mrs. Anna Charles Cosmic Consciousness,, 11 7 S. CUMBERLAND ST. Phone 344-9441 we have done well during the term). By then, of course, it is far too late, and we forget about it until the next :rear. B.A. in Two Months? But should examinations be considered so important? What do they really prove? Firstly, look at the purpose of an examination. Ideally, an examination shows how much a student has learned during the year how much he has assimilated from the lectures given in his course. Ideally. But what - in reality this time - does an examination do? Students :reading this know damn well that an examination does not test what they have learned during the year. On the contrary, it tests the know ledge they have managed to cram into their heads in the couple of weeks before the examination takes place. Now, if examiners are satisfied witfi this arran~ ment, fine - let's keep the examination system. And let's cut down the academic year from seven months to three weeks. This way, we should be able to get a B.A. or B.Sc. in just over two months of concentrated effort. Ridiculous? Maybe. But the present examination system does more than just test a couple of week's work. It tests, among other things, a student's writing speed and his ability t.o work under stress. Of course, this doesn't help students who are verbally slower and less fluent, and µ can be disastrous to students who are unable to remain ca]m and collected under stress, but it's always been this way, so why change it? Yes, it's difficult to see any resemblance between the examination system's ideals on the one hand, and achievements on the other. It is quite obvious that this situation is intolerable and must be changed. Easy to say. Difficult to find a practical alternative. More difficult to implement the alternative. Alternatives There are a number of alternatives open for the present examination system. Which of these a1ternatives or what combination of them should be instituted is open to debate. The most popular of the alternatives are - "Open book" examinations. Where students are allowed to refer to prescribed texts or to. any boo~ they wish. - Distribution of examination questions some days ,before the examination itself takes place. - Exclusive reliance on other criteria for the final mark e.g. research papers, term work, seminars, etc. • It is necessary to note that every one of these proposals demands somewhat different abilities. "O p e n book" examinations, for instance, call for more comprehension and less memorization, and create less tension. Of course, the alternatives 1also depart from t~e ideal c,f the examination system. Their !'esults do not evidence !knowledge gained by memorization, but by understanding and research. This aspect is of minor importance however; the ideal of the examination is by no means set down by law, and may be discarded when considered obsolete. At thiJ: .J)oint. it may not be irrelevant t.o ·ask where, in post-graduate life, one is required to work under examination conditions. One is always able t.o refer to available infonnation. . 'fhe ramifications of changing the examination system will (a note of optimism) be far-reaching. The structure of the whole teaching system is based on examinations, and abolition of the latter will necessitate modification of the former. Nevertheless, the . examination system is badly in need of re-appraisal and . replacement, and these should be effected as soon as possible. The present intolerable situation must not be perpetuated. Number 32 is Coming Number 32 is coming, and number thirty-two stands for thirty two miles, the duration of a walkathon soon to be held in the Lakehead. The whole effort falls under the name "Miles for Millions" and the way it works is this: On the morning of October 28 at 8 o'clock a few thousand students from all the various high schools plus Lakehead U. and Teachers College will set out walking. Each participant will find a sponsor to donate a certain amount of money for every mile walked. What is done with all this money? It's divided up amongst various charities. $5000 will go to Care of Canada to supply pipe and mat.erials for building a water supply system in Guatemala. $5000 will go to Town Talk which is a municipal government educational forum. $2500 is to be donated to Care of Canada for building five schools in Guatemala. $12500 will be given to Oxfam for forming a co-op farming system in Columbia. Any surplus. funds will go to Crossroads, Africa. The walks have been very successful in most Canadian cities. In Ottawa, 4000 students walked to raise $85000. So let's support it here in the Lakehead and make this endeavour a real success. Gordon Wolford, Arts I is the representative on Campus.

The senior race is a three-way affair including Lakeview, Hillcrest, and Hammarsjold. For the first time in many years, P.A.C.I. has a weak senior team and will probably finish at the tail-end. Lakeview is Tated as the best in Port Arthur but could easily be upset by either HjlIIlDlarl;jold or Hillcrest. They tout a strong backfield led by backs Ron Kehl and Gord Dixop. Quarterback Ian MacRae gets fine blocks from lineman Don Smeetan and Jim Perrier, who team with linebacker Larry Perepeluk to lead a strong defense. Hillcrest has a well-balanced team that almost beat Lakeview in theiir last meeting, but fell short two points, losing 9 - 7. The offense is led by back Lauri Keller and quarterback Lei Hartviksen. Holding up the defense are Ken Launderville and Brian Marcino. Hammarsjold Vikings can be rated on par with Hillcrest as they tied in their first meeting. They tout a fine all-round quarterback in Marcuu Peuhkurinen and a strong fullback in Jack luvehar. The defense is tough and right up with those of the other two contenders. The junior division is a four-way toss-up and has been unpredictable in the early stages. Hammarsjold and Hillcrest show how close they were when they tied 0 - 0, Lakeview Lions, after taking three straight beatings, came back to beat Hillcrest 6 - 0, scoring their touchdown in the last three minutes. Earlier, P.A.C.I. had squeaked by Lakeview 7 - 6.

Through the Youth Pavillion, students from all parts of the world, all those concerned with youth or the ''Youth'' fact; were gathered for conferences, panels, slide projections and work shops, adapted to their interests and experience. It is in the sense of interdisciplinary meeting that ,we can say that the Youth :eavillion is the first step towards a crossroads or International Youth Centre. 'Youth Advisory Committee On the other hand, the Youth Advisory Committee had already submitted this project of an International Exhibition: the project then consisted in the creation of a non-profit company, "The International Youth Centre", which, publically and privately financed, could build and manage a Youth Centre to provide meeting facilities, offices for youth organizations, and, most important, to provide a Youth Research Ce~e, as well as a communications centre, vital to any evolution. and interdisciplinary aim.

Youth Centre Role of Youth One of the first items to consider in the greater rationalization of the Youth Phenomenon i-s, without a doubt, the establishment of an International Youth Documentation Centre. It is important to assemble all documentation pertinent to Provincial, National and International Youth. In general, Youth organizations are financially very limited, and as a result, they are incapable of maintaining documentation centers or even constant communication with other organizations: the creation of such a Centre would lift many ideological barriers by providing serious and continuous interdisciplinary research and. extending the scope of this research to, for example, r name in the late 'fifties were the work of Liu Ya-tzy. As to the question of "great", I believe, Mr. O'Neill will agree w:ith me that when we consider whether a man is great or not we consider his contributions to mankind (at least to his country and his people).However, if Mr. O'Neill calls Mao "A great man" simply because he is responsible for the butchery of 25 million Chinese, more than the total population of Canada, in the last 17 years, and responsible for making the rich poor, the poor, poorer, I cannot _but comply.

At first glance, it may seem dangerous to tread on such highly political terrain, but we believe that youth must face the problems which divide it and not avoid them. Furthermore, we believe that youth has proved its sense of responsibilities capable of such a task. Expo Closes Now that the Exhibition is coming to a close and that it is time to decide what will be done with the pavillions and the lands, we, as well as two hundred and eightyseven other Youth organizations find that the moment has come to once again bring this project to the attention of the public and the inte!ested authorities.

Fifty years ago, anyone in China could, with permission of the university and usually by paying a small fee, walk into a lecture room as a drop-in student and had to stand at the back in case all the seats were occupied. This indicates that Mao was unable to enrol as a regular student at the .university. Mao is not a poet. A few poems published in his in Port Arthur 2 S.

October 26, 1967 TWELVE PAGES Canadians protest Vietnam vvar cus chairman resigns • • ID protest October 20, 1967 Mr.P. A. Young, President, Alma Mater Society, Lakehead University. Sir: Kindly consider this my official, written , resignation from my position as member of the Alma Mater Society Council. I should like at this time to clarify several points concerning my resignation. First, I should like to emphasize that my decision to resign was consequent not solely upon the defeat of my motion at the October 18 Council meeting; on the contrary, it was the culmination of my dissatisfaction with many recent Council actions. I shall mention a number of these. • 1. There has been a tendency tecently towards secretcy within the A.M.S. Council; twice in eight days the Council has met in camera. Both times, the question discussed was one which involved the whole student body. Meetings in camera are completely contrary to the principle of open decision-making. 2. There is evidence of aphathy on the part of A.M.S. Councillors towards the student body. During the recent election "campaign" few candidates bothered to put up posters or in any other way announce , platforms and only six candidates bothered to appear at the "town hall" meeting. Does Council intend to represent student apathy with Council apathy? 3. The A.M.S. has mismanaged the current "confrontation" to a point of disaster. It is unwilling to take positive action where the rights of a small number of students have been directly infringed upon, and is willing to accept a settlement which was at best ambiguous, at worst an attempt to deceive. 4. The A.M.S. co·uncil has shown that it has already lost contact with the student body, and is therefore not truly representative of the student body. These points -- there are more -- are manifestations of a basic factor; the A.M.S. Council just does not know what student government is all about. At present, Council appears to see itself as a sort J:Jf social-finance committee. Matters· such as details of dances, petty expenditures, and so on. should be left to special subcommittees.

The Council's task should be to represent students in their fight for academic equality It should represent the student faction in the fight towards an academic community -- a "community of scholars". In these senses, the A.M.S. Council should be a policy-making and decision-making assembly. Instead of appointing a course-guide editor, Council should first discuss the desiribility of a course-guide -- it should hear representations from persons competent in relevant disciplines, such as psychology. In brief, the A.M.S. council is taking carefully considered (-lengthily considered) means to an-undefined end. An impossible situation. 1 am quite confident that this year's Council will continue to organize dances, argue points of order, back down when a stand has to be made, sell-out, vote five dollars here and ten dollars there .......... this is a tradition to which it a~parently must adhere. I cannot identify with such a body. Less can I be an. integral part of such a body. Hence my resignation. Sincerely, Roderick G. Phillips • Senate hears student grievances The Senate has officially cleared the programme of one third year student. At a specially called Senate meeting Friday, October 20, students were ·invited to present their grievances to Lakehead's academic Supreme Court. Reportedly, behind the doors of the closed meeting, only one such petition to the Senate was received at that time. A notice on the bulletin board outside the President's office stated that students should have their petitions in to the Secretary of the Senate before 3:00 Friday afternoon. When Senate met, at 4:00 they had received only one s~ch petition, and this was presented by the Secretary: However, at the AMS meeting Wednesday, October 18, a resolution was passed stating that students should present their petitions to the Senate personally. Another facet of the resolution passed by the AMS Council, that of a guarantee that registration in the fall of 1968 would be more organized than that of this year, has not as yet been acted on. A sub-committee of the University Committee was formed to look into this specific question. And the most important aspect of the past three weeks is still a dream in the minds of students. Students were not allowed into the Senate meeting to present their own cases. Nor were reporters allowed into the meeting. Mr. T. w. Page Professor Trevor Page died October 22 as the result of a fire in his home. Born October · 15, 1914, in Victoria, B.C., J?rofessor Page graduated from the University of Idaho with his Bachelor of Science in Geology and Engineering in 1940. Mr. Page joined the faculty of the Lakehead College of Arts, Science and Technology in 1950, after 10 years experience in Canadian industry as a Mining and Consulting Engineer. A member of the Association o f Professional Engineers of Ontario, and the Canadian Institute of Mining and Metalwrgy, Mr. Page received a research grant in 1961 from the Geological Survey of _Canada and submitted a paper on "Pro - Glacial Lakeshores North of Lake Superior." He later submitted a paper on "Deglaciation of Northern ·Lake Superior'' in 1964. Professor P a g e also served with the Civilian Branch of the RCAF as a surveyorfrom 1941-42. He later· worked with de Havilland Aircraft of Canada as a Tool Design Supervisor.

This is the theme suggested for a proposed symposium to be held at Lakehead the first weekend in January. Vice President Bill Weiler introduced this topic to Council at its regular meeting, October 18. The idea for the syposium was suggested to the AMS by a Sociology professor, Dr. Asimi. The professor also indicated that he would be interested in helping to set the symposium up. The format of the syposium would be similar in many respects to the seminar held at UBC this past summer. However, it is hoped that powers restored to it. said Mr. Phillips, it is unable to vote on any matters. This would negate all of this year's resolutions. President Peter Young replied to the point of order by stating that precedent had been set in previous years allowing Council to assume power as soon as it is elected. TREASURER'S REPORT The Treasurer's Report was to have been presented at this meeting, however Don Lees was unable to do so. Council was assw:ed that the report would be ready for distribution by Wednesday, October 24. Mr. Lees also noted that the auditor's statement from last year will finally be released to students after the weekend. Last year's Treasurer, Ron Hider, asked that the statement be held back until he had had time to gather comments of it from lru.t year's Council. The remaining AMS committees were appointed at this meeting. The complete list of committees appears on Page 2 of this issue. AMS S£MIHAR President Young announced to Council the agenda for the AMS seminar to be held October 21 at the University. The primary purpose fol· the seminar is to acquaint AMS councillors with their University's structure and Owen Marks it would not be a restatement of that conference. Proposed plans include invitations to Ontario and Manitoba Universities. Various government bodies will be approached for grants to help finance this symposium. LEGITIMACY QUESTIONED Before the meeting was underway, the Council's legitimacy was challenged by CUS Chairman Rod Phillips. Mr. Phillips contended that the preceedings this year so far have been unconstitu-· tional, since the executive did not vote powers back to the Council. The motion giving the Council power originated from Julie Wierzbicki, Arts representative. Until the Council has any A WOMAN'S student government operation. Discussions are to be led by present and past AMS executive me,nbers. Board of Trustees members will be also be in attendance. It is hoped that the Council will be able to operate more smoothly and efficiently after this seminar. Unfortunately: neither time nor space allow the seminar to be opened to all students. It was suggested that plans be put in operation to sponsor a ..similar seminar for the student body. But nothing further was said concerning this matter. Peter Young, Pres. Council meetings approached by students with regard to Dinner Dances. There is a rather long lapse between the last Dinner Dance and the Science Dinner Dance slated for the end of November. It was therefore proposed that the AMS sponsor a dance 1n between these two dates. Council gave its approval to this idea, since the Science Society felt their function would not suffer from an added dance. are open to all students. VIOLINIST TO APPEAR A celebrated concert violinist from the faculty of Music at the University 9f Toronto will perform on campus October 31, _in a noon-hour concert sponsored by the AMS. Financial backing was requested of Council. The question of tickets for students and for the Lakehead community was raised, but Vice President Bill Weiler stated that this concert was one of the few cultural events to reach the campus, and as such should be free to students. Mr. Weiler added that the noon hour con'--ert would not attract the public because of its time. BANK ACCOUNT TRANSFERRED Treasurer Lees received Council's permission to transfer the AMS bank account from Royal Trust to the Bank of Montreal. The account now stands at $1200. Mr. Lees pointed out that no loss in interest rates will be incurred. DINNER DANCE President Y o u n g Council that he had NUMBER 32 Number 32 came up near P. Paulerinne, A1'ts Pres. , B.

When is a representative not a representative? Bert Bauman, Chief Justice of the AMS provided one answer at a council meeting last Wed. night. Fearless future leader Bauman cri~d painfully, "We are the representatives of the students and you are students. Tell us what to do." He was addressing a group of students who had sat in on the meeting in the hope of forcing council to re-evaluate their l)osition on Pres. Tamblyh's speech. He has raised, (probably without realizing it, because council members don't realize very much,) a very important problem. What is a representative? It would be very easy to say that a representative is not a representative if he sits on AMS council but that would be simplifying an all too complicated issue. It would also be slurring the few members on council who are capable of individual thought and action. We are of course speaking of elected reprsentatives and our elected representatives in particular. To bgin with, a representative should never find it necessary to make the plea that Mr. Bauman did the other night. If a rep. finds himself in that position he has obviously lost all contact with his constituents and should properly resign. Members to .any elected body are generally chosen because the voters feel confident in their ability to do the job at hand. They except a rep. to put their interests forward whenever necessary and to always put them before his own. • A representative must be able to judge the demands of his electors and evaluate their pertin~ncy. He must then judge the demands of his electors and evaluate their pertinency. He must then judge whether these demands-are valid and if they are he is bound to act upon them or resign unless he can convince the people he represents that they are on the wrong track. This -is the trust placed in a representative and one which he takes as hls own when he is elected. When a rep. :fmds that he is completely out of touch with the thinking of his electors he ceases to function as a worthwhile spokesman and should in all good conscience stand down. The members of the present AMS council cannot honestly deny that they are now in this position. As yet their integrity . is not at question and it can still be assumed that they acted in what they felt was the proper way. That they were wrong is something they have yet to learn. They must also learn that elecion does not endow the elected with any supernatural insight. The AMS is apparently incapable of understanding. 'the persistence of their electors in pressing for a solution. They are also incapable of discerning the principal involved in the present difficulty with the AMS and the Admin. They have, in fact, lost touch with the student body and therefore no longer have any right to speak for them. This council by its actions on Monday last and by its refusal to remedy those actions Wed. night has relinquished any claim to the legitimacy that such a remedy could nave given them. The job of any representative is often a thankless one and more often than not one of sheer hard work. Did this council believe anything else when it stood for election? Did this council feel that they could keep the plebs happy with the bread and circuses of dances and social activities. If so then this council must be reminded that it didn't work for Rome either. -bh. - - . - --- ... ·- -. - , ,. Dear Sir: In reply to Mr. Yuan's reply to my reply to his article The Sun is Set (ARGUS, September 18) may I ask Mr. Yuan if he is in the pay of the propaganda division of some western power or if he is grossly misinformed? My first point was that Mao spent eight years in p o s t secondary institutes studying so much that he had little time to write letters of dubious validity. Secondly, Mr. Yuhan characteristically flies in tne face of fact when he claims that Mao was no poet. If he had ever entered a good book store he would have seen Mao's "non-existent" poetry translated and criticized by such noted scholars as White and Payne. Thirdly, if Mr. Yuan ever compared the progressiveness and puritanism of Red China to the filth, degradation, poverty and starvation which bolsters up the rich of Hong Kong, Formosa or Taiwan, I think he might adapt some of his opinions to truth. Patrick O'Neill AMS Farce Dear Sir: I..ast night, Oct. 18, I attended my first A.M.S. Council Meeting at Lakehead University. I must say I was amazed at the maturity of the counsellors. They discussed at great length such important matters as where they will obtain a combination double - reverse - bottle holder; dripper - and - jiggerfixer; yet when it came to a trivial item, e.g. students problems arising from the registration mix-up, our illus• trious treasurer, Mr. Lees, moved that the discussion be limited to only one-half hour. Our council members behaved as responsible representatives of the students, They did not sweat, ridicule or question the intelligence of one another "very much." They all have read Robert's Rules of Order (which) they follow to the "t") from cover to cover and did not have to waste valuable time arguing over whether or not a person was speaking ou.t of ordel', making a motion out of order, or voting out of order. It was great to s~ . -. . - . that the executive could conduct an orderly mt!eting. The council members all showed themselves to be men and women of conviction and principles. They were not afraid to stand up for what they believed as long as they could vote on a secret ballot so that the students present would nc,t know how they voted. I am very proud of them. They try very hard to understand. Now I know why the A.M.S. council meetings are not advertised to the general student body. By the way, did vou know that all students ~an attend the meetings? Although I was greatly disillusioned and disappointed, I feel that the sad state of our A.M.S. cannot be entirely blamed on the council members. We, the student body, must realize that if we do~ not make known to our representatives, either before the meeting or during the meeting, any problems we may feel need attention, they will continue to spend their time discussing dances, parties, dinners, etc. What else do they have to discuss? If you have a complaint bring it to the A.M.S. executive or members and pressure them to do something about it. But you cannot leave it at that. You, too, must show you interest and concern. ·fhis you can do by attending the meetings, requesting the minutes from the A.M.S. offices, and asking questions. We all know that any government wol'ks best when under pressure and opposition. Although we must not think of ourselves as opposers of the A.M.S. council we must still oppose and question any actions or non-actions that we do not agree with. It is about time the student body got off their fat derrieres, rid themselves· of the apathetic attitude and took an interest in their world. In faith, Eleanor Pentick.

However, I believe that he dealt with the subject in too general a manner. In this article I would like to try to elaborate on some of the points h·e made and also to give my views as to why I am a firm believer that examinations, in some courses, offered at the university level should be scrapped. • Here I wi:U try to deal primarily with examinations at the University level. While I think that the educational systems in Public School and High School level need to be revised, I don't believe that written examinations should be eliminated altogether. It is the only criterion to judge one's ability at an early age. Some of the people that are attending universities will be the leaders of tomorrow. Don't you think that university life should prepare one for such leadership? If the answer is yes, then the next logical question will be: Is the present educational system, as set up by universities, geared toward such preparation? I will not answer that question as yet. I will present my argwnent and hope that you will come to the same conclusion as I do at the end. Since I know nothing about the Sciences courses, I want to state emphatically that I will be deciling with the Arts courses. When I use the word examinations I want it to be noted that I mean "the Christmas Examinations" and "the Final Examinations." The foreign languages, will have to be tested in a written manner. However subjects as English, History, Political Science, Sociology, - to mention a few - should be .approached in a different manner.· The idea of Professors giving lectures and students copying down is too old fashioned, in my way of thinking. The students at the university level, should participate more in the courses in which they enrolled. This participation can be achieve<! more forcefully by replacing the written examinations with written research papers or essays. Ths is my method. Take a history cla~ of one hundred students. The cJass could be divided into four groups of 25 students. Each group is given a specific topic to w.i'ite on, The length of- the essay should be left to the discretion of the professor concerned. If a student does not like the topic he has to write, he can always interchange mutually with another student. When the essays have been corrected, Group A can exchange essays with Group B. Group C and D can do likewise. Seminars and discussions can then be followed with the professor giving constructive comments from time to time. In this way students would be able to learn more, because the four topics will be read by each student. This method I feel can be applied successfully to the other subjects, with a few alterations here or there. My reason for condeming written examinations are these: a person may be a very brilliant student in class, but on the day of the examination, he may be a bit ill. If he writes the paper and makes a po:>r mark, is it fair that he should be judged by that mark? Then again some of us with the fear that the examination is the end of it all, becomes psychologically upset and do badly in our tests, Again, some of us study by the process of elimination, we may study c:;nscientiously most of our work and just scan through a few things we may think unimportant, These very unimportant things .may come on the tests. Some other people may study just a few topics and leave out the majority of the work. They may be very lucky, for exactly what they studied may appear on the examination. Eliminate the written examinations, and automatically the fear and apathy among university students will be eliminaed. Most students nowadays are only concerned with coming to school for the sole purpose of passing an examination. This to my mind is a wrong attitude. My concept of university life, is that it is a place where one should be able to participate in all the different activities, as joining the various clubs and associations, and also the social and sporting fields. By so doing we will be able to develop our personality to such an extent, that when we leave the university, we will be better able to face the outside world.

The public opinion survey relating to the past provincial election was conducted Tuesday and Wednesday before the election throughout Port Arthur and Fort William ridings by Lakehead University Political Science Department lecturer Alan Alexander with the help of Professor Alan T. McEwen, Director of the Computor Centre. The poll was taken in a manner similar to the opinion polls which have become such an important part of modern elections all over the world, Mr. Alexander said that student volunteers took a scientific sampling of the new electoral roll. Four questions were asked relating to previous and future voting. Response sheets required no names and all responses were treated with the closest confidence. Mr. Alexander and Mr. McEwen studied the data and then interpreted the trend of opinion at that time. The results of the survey showed that the Liberals would take the Port Arthur riding, but that the Conservatives would retain a majority in the provincial parliament. Mr. Alexander said "The role of the university is to help the community in which it is situated understand itself better." In commenting further, he said that "We hope that the people of the Lakehead will accept the study as being purely academk. Lt is not connected with any outside bodies such as political parties, news media, other polling organizations or groups of any kind." Mr. Alexander intends to do further in-depth study of the election results this fall. He will use the University's new IBM 360 model 40 Computer which will be installed later this month. Professor McEwen was formerly employed by the National Opinion Poll in England, and is an expert in this area of study. Violinist The Research Team .. Headed by A. Alexander(left) and T. McEwan (right) Hong Kong students swell enrolment figures An influx of students from a tiny riot-torn corner of the world 8,000 miles from the Lakehead, highlights enrollment figures released this week by Lakehead University registrar Donald Ayre. A total of 62 Chinese students from Hong Kong are included in a record enrollment of 1,618 students, up 32% from last year's figure of 1,221 full-time university and technology students. This fig1ue surpasses the predicted enrollment of 1,577. Another 716 students are taking part-time classes at the University, and increase o classes at the University, an increase of 33 1/3% from last year's figure of 537. Also, more than 250 students are enrolled in extension courses serving 17 communities in Northwestern Ontario. This brings the overall librarian E. Belton shows three Hong Kong students rare books in the library. total of degree or diploma students to more than 2,700. A marked increase is noted in the arts and science programs. Total registration this year is 1,061, up 41.5% from last year's figure of 750 students. The new figure includes the university's first graduate students, five in arts and two in science. The increase in the diploma programs is 15%, with 541 students registered against last year's figure of 471. The increase in Chinese students was a pleasant surprise for university officiais. Last year only 14 Hong Kong students were registered. It is, however, a typical story in universities across the country due largely to the recent riots in Hong Kong. The unstable situation at home has caused more and more students to study abroad. One student representative at Lakehead, Sze-Chung Yuan, estimated that more than 600 Hong Kong students would be studying in Canada this year and another 1,000 in the United States. Approximately 30,000 students graduate from the high school system in Hong Kong every year according to Mr. Yuan. The two universities in Hong Kong can take onla a limited number of the graduates and the remainder must go abroad if they wish to con- tinue their education. A select few, the very well-to-do, go t9 England. The rest go to Tiawan ln Nationalist China, Australia, the " United States and Canada. Why Canada and why Lakehead University? According to Mr. Yuan the Chinese students receive excellent help from the Canadian Immigration Office in Hong Kong. They obtain their visas in a reasonable period of time while students attempting to enter the United States have a great deal more difficulty. Also Canadian regulations make it much easier for foreign students to remain in Canada after they have completed their studies. Mr. Yuan said Chinese students believe that in smaller universities they will receive more individual attention tfrom he more individual attention from the professors. Also the admission requirements for Lakehead are more reasonable than some of the larger universities. The majority of students are sons and daughters of businessmen or administrative officials. Ironically they arrive i11 small groups of four or five and few actually knew any of the other Hong Kong students outside their own group. Only a handful were able to find accommodation in the small university residence. The rest are boarding in Lakehead homes or bunking together in apartments. They all speak English and, according to Mr. Yuan, had no trouble in adjusting to life in the Lakehead. The students are all members of the Chinese Students Association which was formed at Lakehead unlversity last year to help make the newcomers feel more at home. Their first outing was last saturday when more than 60 students were guests of the University President, Dr. w. G. Tamblyn at his summer residence at Lambert Island. • ID A celebrated Israeli violinist, Lorand Fenyves, will present a noon-hour concert at Lakehead University Tuesday, October 31. A professor of music at the University of Toronto, Mr. Fenyves boasts many first performances of contemporary works and is therefore equally at home in both the standard and contemporary violin repertoire. After studying in Budapest, Mr. Fenyves started his concert career at the age of 13 in Budapest and Vienna. After numerous concert appearances throughout Ewrope, he joinecl the Israeli Philharmonic Orchestra as concert-master, founded the Israeli String Quartet and was co-founder of the Israeli Academy of Music in Tel Aviv. During this period, Mr. Fenyves appeared. as soloist with the Israeli Philharmonic in over one hundred concerts in Israel and throughout the Middle East. Concert Ftom 1957 to 1965, Mr. Fenyves performed with orchestras and in recital continually in Switzerland, Italy France, Germany, and England. Heavy as this schedule may appear to a lessor artist, Mr. Fenyves managed to combine it with his duties as concert-master of L'Orcestre da la Suisse Romande, and Professor of Master Classes at the Geneva Conservatory of Music where his pupils included European, American, Canadian, Japanese, and Israeli violinists. A violinist's violinist, a pioneer in the musical life of Israel and one of Europe's leading violin teachers and performers, his distinguished European reputation preceded his North American debut in Toronto recently where he received unanimous acclaim from public and press alike. Lakehead University students will have the opportunity to hear this great artist Tuesday, October 31, in the noon-hour concert in the theatre.

They can never happen, it goes on, where the people are actively engaged in defending their rights and participating in the process of government. This participation includes making their wishes known to the elected leaders of their government. One of the cornerstones of a democratic country we are told is the right to free assembly. Here endeth the fairy tale, kiddies. ln Oakland, California on Oct. 18, clubswinging police broke up the kindergarten class in a testament to their own efficiency.. PROTEST AT B·ERKELEY Upwards of 500 people gathered on the Berkeley campus to demonstrate against draft policies and later assembled in front of the Northern California Induction Center to take the protest to the front lines. No doubt it was a noisy, boistrous crowd, and probably many were more than a little looped. This cannot in any way be used as an excuse for what followed. They were first warned that they were assembled illegally and were then ordered to disperse. How is it possible in the "Land of the Free" to be assembled illegally? How is it possible in a country which is supposedly the bullwark of democracy to be ordered to disperse? Listen to District Attorney Cecil Poole and he'll tell you: "The law is not going to lie down and not do its job because 3000 or 4000 people are opposed to war." LAW STOOD UP The law didn't lie down for very long as it took only 10 minutes of clubbing, kicking and beating to clear the area. Maybe then they all went home, had a beer, and watched Combat for kicks after a hard day's work. Well kiddies, maybe this sort of thing doesn't bother you any more. After all, it happens every day somewhere. The problem is that until recently it was happening only in those nasty Cammie countries and you can't expect them to know any better anyway. Make no mistake about it. This is no usual case of police brutality. These are the methods used by all the folk heros who have been periodically bothering the world since this species began. The bright lights of Germany, Spain and Italy used them in the thirties and the Russians improved on them. We sit here and lament the depths to which South American units sink in an effort to remain in power and sigh that we're glad we live here. California is only a few hours away. INSECURITY - THE CAUSE? The action of the police themselves is really not an issue although it is to be condemned. Such action is only the sigh of a deeper evil that is all too .prevalent in North America. When a State is so insecure as to find it necessary to resort to such tactics to support its authority and policies, that State is no longer representative of the people for whom it is set up. The fact that the anti-draft movement is a vociferous one is of little consequence either. If you have been reading your "Child's Garden of Democratic Verse" you will have noticed that it is always referred to as the "right" of free assembly. Right means something that cannot legally be taken away. Perhaps the Superior Court should deliver a paper to the International Court -of Justice explaining why the freedom of assembly is no longer right but a privilege whose use rests on the whims of the group in power. They might also explain what other outmoded concepts the democracies should rid themselves of in order to better adjust to the way things really a-re.

In explanation of this resolution, Board of Trustees member Wayne Tocheri said "The main reason why I introduced party politics in our AMS government is for g r e a t e r sophistication in governing." In rebutal of this resdlution, Gerry Hees, Board of Trustees member, said "As I see it, parties are to speed up political process. But in our situation, it would boil down to political parties and we always voted against support for political parties in Council." "We could continually suffer under a party system," said Vice President Bill Weiler. "When the government changed hands between parties, new policies would undoubtedly follow. T h i s would nogate continuity in student government." · SELF RE-EXAMINATJON As a post mortem, the seminar accepted John Pentick's resolution that the AMS Council examine wa,ys and means of making itself more effective as a governing body.· Most councillors stated that they were very happy happy with the results of the seminar.

Bill came to Canada in 1957 while Ben, who bad been serving in the Dutch Navy, followed him in 1961.

They appeared on a few radio and television shows in Edmonton and Calgary. When interviewed after the show, the Singers had more than comments on their professional work to offer:..

Canada may not be a major powerbut it is regarded. as a leader of the small countries in world politicis." Ben - on entertaining "Chances for entertainers in Canada are fair - not as good as in the States, but they have more people and thus a greater market. Canada however, must and is expanding culturally. People such as those in the CBC are beginning to give entertainers a chance." "People on committees and subcommittees often have the wrong idea about entertainers.

(CUP) - Acadia has dropped out of the Canadian Union of Students. Students voted more than 3 to 1 against continuing membership in the union in a referendum Monday. Just over 54 percent of the students voted. The referendum followed a council resolution three weeks earlier advocating immediate withdrawal In a dining hall speech at noon Monday student council president Bob Levy said "I feel that we have gained little in our association with CUS over the years and the fact that many of you ask what it is, is more than eloquent testimony to its irrelevance." CUS president-elect Peter Warrian, who -travelled to Acadia October 14 for the vote, said "One of the reasons the vote may have gone the way it did is people simply did not have information or familiarity with CUS." He said the council had made up its mind on CUS and seemed to be looking for a ratification of that decision. Of a total enrollment of 1,6~2 students, 905 cast ballots in the referendum. Of these, 287 voted for CUS, 618 against. Acadia is the first CUS member to withdraw since the London Congress last month. Friday Oct. 13 - University of Windsor students voted 576-552 in favour of the union. The University of British Columbia will hdld a similar referendum Nov. 1. Dictator High Schools blasted VANCOUVER {CUP) - The struggle for secondary school autonomy was given full support by the British Columbia Assembly of Students last week. "We condemn the present system of close censorship of high school newspapers and unill1teral attempts to shield students from ideas judged as detrimental to their character," the congress stated. The Assembly passed a resoluion seeking legal counsel about violations of the Federal Mails Act after it heard reports of school administrators who open student council mail and do not pass it on to students. A monthly newsletter to secondary schools and an education corps are both planned. The corps will encourage high school students to further their studies and assimilate and analyze secondary school problems. January was proclaimed BCAS Education Action Month, during which a brief outlining the assembly's priorities in education will be presented to B.C. Ml.As. Glendon gets five student reps TORO.l\1TO (CUP) - Students at York University's Glendon College will have five members on the faculty council of the oollege. The faculty council voted 25 - 3 to include students in their meeting of October 10. The decision must now be ratified by the York senate. Fonner Glendon student council vice-president Rick Schultz saw the decision as "a major step in involving the students in their own education," althought the students would not be allowed to take part in the council's committees. Schultz is the auihor c,f a b1'ef on student participation in university government. Student council will choose the representatives for this year only. A committee has been struck to investigate methods of choosing students in future. "Once the students have been chosen they will be completely independent", said student council president Alan Whitely,---------------- CUS emphasizes field work OTTAWA (CUP) - Every CUS campus will be visited by a field worker this year. CUS President High Armstrong said Tuesday this policy will help student government do more effectiv~ work on the problems of education. He said at least four of the eight members of the secretariat will be working on campu_c;es throughout the year. This new emphasis on field work reflects a demand by members for concentration by CUS on programs which are more relevant to campus problems. CUS field work will concentrate on the priotjties set down by the London Congress of CUS this September: Student awareness of their rights and responsibilities Quality of education at all levels Universal acc.-essibility to education Democratization of university government Other priorities such as CUS services, human rights (which includes international affairs), relations with other student and youth organizations, and taxation receive lower priority. . Armstrong said field will help cbmbat student council lethargy on many campuses. It will also mean every campus will receive aid to suit its particular and most vital needs. He said some campuses have the basic resources to carry out educational reform but others, mainly the smaller institutions, do not. This is where the field worker will help. So far members of the secretariat have visited student governments in the Maritimes, Ontario, Manitoba, Alberta, and British Columbia. lr - • • •• t .- - - ■ .:S - ■ 1• - - • - ■ I - - Page 9 Is Straight bust legal? - Justice Dohm ponders by Charlotte Haire, Vancouver (CUP) Mr. Justice Thomas Dohn of the B.C. supreme court Wednesday deferred judgment on an appllcation by the publishers of the Georgl.a Straight to have the suspension of their business licence declared unlawful. The newspaper's licence iwas suspended Thursday by city licence inspector Milt Harrell acting on the recommendation of Mayor Tom Campbell. John Laxton, lawyer for publishers Dan McLeod and Peter Hlookoff, sai4 the main Issue of the hearing was the power of municipal authorities to put people out of business, determine public morality and determine- freedom of the press. "Surely it cannot be possible that our laws allow businesses to be closed down without warning or an opportunity for the plaintiff to come before court and explain his case," said Laxton. "A trial could not be held until April or May of next year," he said. "In the meantime the Straight would ibe unable to publish." Laxton's argument in support of the injunction was that section 277 (c) of the city charter was invalid. "It is only the federal government which can legislate morality under criminal law," he said. Even granting that the province had the authority, he said, the arbitarary fashion of the licencing inspector was contrary to natural law. Laxton told the court the publishers of the newspaper had not been told why their licence was suspended and had not been given an op. portunity to state their case. Corporation counsel Russell Baker said If the newspaper's appeal was upheld it would mean every licence inspector in B.C. would not be sure what his powers were. Vancouver city council Tuesday endorsed seven to three the suspension of the Georgia Straight newspaper's business licence. Campbell claimed the paper was a ''filthy rag" and had seen sold to school children. Under city by-law, the licence inspector baa the right to suspend a business Ucence, but only city council may revoke lt. Alderman Harry Rankin, Ernie Broome and Peter Graham voted against the suspension. Endorsing it were Aid.

''These flower children turn flowers into stinkweed. "We must war against all .that is indecent." Campbell interjected that it is horrifying that there can be dissemination of vicious trash, which glorifies drug adiction and homosexuality. "And then we have other papers, like The Ubyssey, which states in its editorial of Sept. 29, 'Anyone who doubts the obscenity of this society need only watch its leaders in action any Tuesday in city hall's council chambers," said Campbell. Mrs. 0. V. Spaetgens of the Vancouver paretn-teachers' association and Mrs. Helen Boyce of the :Vancouver local council of women congratulated the mayor on the suspension. "Yes," said Rankin, "it is no longer safe to walk in Kitsilano: It might have ·something to do ·wtth the miserable housing conditions and slums, and the landlords who are making a fat profit by packing 20 people into a house. "This is the kind of issue council should be debating. Leave obscenity to the crlmlnal courts." Alderman Ernie Broome asked Campbell why the obscenity charge was not dealt within criminal court. "We didn't feel there was enough ground for an obscenity charge," said Campbell. ---------~-------1111111---· THIS AD CAN SAVE YOU Vietnam equated to Quebec MONTREAL (CUP) union generale des diants du Quebec has pared the struggle in Nam to the struggle for dom in Quebec. anne Linnell, Ed Sweeney, Tom Alsbury, Earle Adams, Hugh Bird and Campbell.

Ken has taken a job with radio station CJOE in London where he will be Sports director and public relations officer for the station, His wife, Margaret, has taken a job at the N.E.S. office in London after being transferred from the local branch. One of the reasons that Ken was hesitant about leaving the Lakehead was that he and his wife both being local residents, had several relatives in the area. Ken has had a long and varied casting background. He began by doing play-by-play accounts of Selkirk High School football games back in 1961. Next he became a parttime broadcaster for CJLX working with the Sports Director Jack Thompson. When Jack left, Ken became sports director where he remained until transferring to CKPR where he was sports director for radio and television. Ken's biggest thrill in broadcasting was the presentation to him of the Guy Perciante Memorial Trophy award annually to the local sports media personel who gives outstanding service in promoting youth athletics. Also through broadcasting, Ken has managed to see much of the country while travelling with local teams. Many local organizations have presented bim with plaques for his service in helping to promote thei'l"' sport. On his final day in the Lakehead, a giant stag was given in his honour. Ken hopes that by going down east, he will have a better chance of landing a job in pro-hockey, ... .. t ..•• either as a public rela-tions man or a broadcaster. As sports editor -of the Argus I feel that 'the Friar' has done more for the promotion of sports in the Lakehead than any other man. Ken was always willing to promote minor league sports such as little league baseball in which I had my closest contact with him. He gave new organizations such as the two local senior fastball leagues needed publicity while they were .in the growing stages. On the other hand, Ken was not afraid to speak out against the establishment. His many critical editorials, occasionally reprimanded athletes for unsportsmanlike conduct or criticized league officials for their lack of initiative such as the absence of lights at the Fort William Stadium. Yes friends, the "Friar" was a tru~ sportsman throughout. I wish him the best of luck in future endeavors. While Ken leaves us, "Jovial" Jack Sandberg appears on the scene to take his place. Jack cotnes to the Lakehead, after spending several years out w~t. He was rah,-ed in Saskatchewan but began his broadcasting career in Winnipeg in 1964. Since then he had moved to Fort Frances, CJOB and from there he C'ame to the Twin Cities. Although Jaclc has been an active sportsman all his life, his radio experience has only been in newcasting. He has taken over as CKPR's sports director and although he really has little sportcasting experience, I'm sure he will learn the tricks of the trade and become another good one at the ".friendly 580." ••• • ...• ...

Coach Henry Akervall has 29 hopefuls to pick :fu-om to form this years team. The 1967-68 team will be the strongest that has represented L.U. and should clean up the league. The 'S' line of Dwight Stirret, Murray Smith, and Dave Siciliano, who were the top three in league scoring, are back and will lead the team again. Rookies D on Pellegrino, Richard Tapak, and Dave Nuttal, former area junior stars, should fit into the Nor'Wester's hustling style of play. The defense will be as strong as ever, losing only Jim Pronger from last year. Big Bud Crocker would be an ideal replacement for the position of club policeman which was left vacant by Pronger. The only position that could be a weak spot is in goal. but it is early and this could change.

It is also obvious that the singers are enjoying their 'work'. There is communication, commanly called joking, carried on between the entertainers and the audience.

The Last Spike has been laughingly called "Canada's only psychedelic coffee house by its originators. However, if you look at the changing, flashing lights for a while, the room disappears. ABOUT THE GUILD f 1 al The Freemen singers formed the Lakehead Folk Guild to stimulate and promote folk music in the Lakehead area, Recognizing the lack of an outlet for folk music here, the Lakehead Folk Guild with Dave Sherlock acting as liason with the Fort William Parks and Recreation Board, opened the coffee house last July at Chippewa Park. With winter approaching the Last Spike moved to its present location at the end of the bridge over the railway tracks in the East End of Fort William.

DEMOCRATIZATION ROT SO CLEAR After the meeting, Chipman said "We asked for a bookstore manag,erial committee and we got it. As for democratization we must look at it in the broad cont.ext. It is not so clearly defined." "The demonstration had a definit.e affect on the Administration. The student show of support was necessary to endorse our position." Chuck Axelrod, lnt.ernal Vice-President and co-negotiator with Chipman, said "The Administration is worried because of the demonstration of student-faculty co-operation. They are very concerned that no..mapifesta- tion of power such as today should happen again."

Since students refuse to place their offerings of gravy, ketchup, and cigarettes in the racks provided, the necessity has arisen to hire another woman to do what students should be doing themselves. This, then, is the reason for the proposed increase in cafeteria prices. If this intolerable situation does not cease, there will be no alternative but to raise food prices.

Rothney, was one of three noted Canadians who participated in "Canada Day" at the University of Idaho on October 19. The theme of Dr. Rothney's address was "America, Canada's Problem" a paper on the problems of regionalism in Canada. Dr. Rothney is reported in the Idaho Argonaut (the U. of· Idaho's student paper) as saying that Canada cannot preserve its economic independence. "In the past, Canada's economy has depended on the East-West trade. With the decline. of Britain this trade is now with the Soviet Union and China," he said. However, since Canada can never depend upon this trade, Dr. Rothney continued, it must turn to north-south trade. "The pull of American metropolitan centre on the regions of Canada is the greatest threat to her existence. "If Canada were alone on this continent, it would be very easy for Canadian metropolitan centres to hold their regions together economically, culturally, and politically. "But Canadian metropolitan centres must always compete with larger U.S-. centres and this . econlOmic control leads to political control. ''In this sense, although Canada poses no threat to America, the U.S. threatens the very existence of Canada as a dominion and a sovereign nation" Dr. Rothney said. "It's inconceivable that Canada could ever achieve economic independence from the U.S. We read the -same magazines, listen to the same radio programmes, live in such close proximity, and have a common language. "All of these things make it impossible to substitute any otlier country. There is no escape to Americaniza•tion. "There is no answer to this problem except superceding continentalism by universality - eventually lead- ing to the political concept of 'one world'." Back in the Lakehead, Dr. Rothney reported that the students at Idaho "showed very, very keen interest in Canada. Many were especially interested in how we treat draft-dodgers. I was impressed by the calibre of the students who turned out." (Seven hundred students attended each of the two daytime sessions). Dr. Rothney said that his chief impression was the "overwhelming conoorn" by students about the war in Vietnam. This concern is manifested, he said, in activities such as debates, demonstrations, and discussionsa 11 concerning Vietnam. Asked about student opinion on the war, Dr. Rothney said that "every member of faculty I talked to said it (student opinion). was about fifty-fifty. But I didn't get any student opinions." The other two speakers at "Canada Day" were Dr. Peter Waite, chairman of Dalhousie University, and Donald S. MacDonald, M.P. Library hiding information .1 Dr. Gordon 0.

Phillips has resigned his seat on the Alma Mater Society Council because he feels this Council is not fulfilling its duty, i.e., it is secretive, apathetic, not representative of the students, and it is not clear on what it's long-range purpose is, etc. Neither, he feels, can ·he identify with such a Descrimination Sil-: We would like to voice a dissatisfaction, and bring to light to the student body, and administration, an injustice on the part of administration towards us, the class of Business Administration Diploma II We are singled out in the matter of attendance! We are being treated as high school students! We have attendance taken at each and every class. No other Business Administration class, nor any other class in the university has its attendance taken at every lecture. We feel, that as adults, we should have the right to make our own decisions as ·to whether or not we can afford to miss a particular lecture in order to work on a class assignment. We need only draw to their attention the heavy course in which we are enrolled. We take nine subjects with a total of 28 class hours per week. Plus, homework hours which are more than equivalent to those spent in class. Therefore, many of us miss classes in order to work on our assignment and reports so as to have them completed for the due dates. Since we feel our time is well spent, we don't think we should be forced to attend classes. We believe it should be the perrogative of the student. We, the students of Business Administration II, would like an answer from Dr. Braun, either directly, or through the Argus. Sincerely, Business Admin.

Mr. Phillips, if you really feel that the AMS Council is lacking in any way, and if you feel sincerely that you would like to · do something to alleviate this situation, then I feel that you have missed the point in resigning from the Council. By your resignation, you have destroyed a certain pairt of the unity among the AMS councillors, among whom unity should exist;. and you have made doubtful the position of the AMS Council, a position which should be strongly evident on this campus. This year's Council is not all you would like to be, nor is this university as a whole all you would want it to be. But it will never change - for you - if you throw away in disgust your part in it. Your ideas can never be accepted, nor can they be appreciated, if you choose to remain apart f.rom the body which you are criticizing. I direct these remarks to Mr. Phillips, for he has taken a much publicized stand against the AMS; one which I feel to be unfortunate, for all concerned. But I would suggest that they apply also to any person who is a meinber of the Alma Mater Society. Peter McCormick, Arts AMS- representative comment They Would Never Be Missed by pat o'neill I've got a little list Of Society offenders Who might well be underground. -The Lord High Executioner's Song, from "Mikado." On September 22, 1950, the United States Senate passed a bill called the Internal Security Act, or the McCarran Act. It was sponsored by such notables as J. F. Kennedy. Section 100 of this Act states that under conditions of a declaration of war by Congress, an "insurrection" within the U.S., or an "imminent" invasion, the President may proclaim a "National Internal Security Emergency." Then the Attorney General MUST "apprehend and detain any person as to whom there is i"easonable grounds to believe that such person probably will engage in, or probably will conspire with others to engage in act of espionage or of sabotage." (The word probably was in italics in the Act.) McCarran himself called the act "a concentration camp measure." Since 1950, Congress has tried twenty-four times to get the Presidents to implement on Section 100. Until now, each attempt has been unsuccessful. President Truman set up six "detention" camps with a minimum capacity of 15,000 persons each. Since then eleven other camps have been built and staffed. These seventeen camps would hold a minimum of 255,000 persons. But to date these "detention" camps are empty, and operated only on a standby basis. The FBI in response to this act has issued and holds over one million warrants. They claim they could pick up 12 to 15 thousand persons within twenty-four hours in a programme called Operation Dragnet. The government department concerned, installed a Univac 1108 computor in Washington, D.C. on April 23, this year. It records the names, addresses, current political activity, associations, HABITS, movements, communications, and correspondence of over one million persons who; in their opinion, are probably covered by the Act. This list contains hippies, Negro activists, "communists," University professors, and New Left "subversives." President Johnson will never set the plan in operation, you say. (?) The experts claim that a sudden uprising in three Negro ghettos would be enough for him to do just that. Or a declaration of war w.ith China.· And if he does, what will you do? We all know the German people merely said that their concentration camps were not there. Our Watchdog Sir: It seems that the student body's watch-dog has fallen asleep; the sacred rights of the student . body a'l'e being violated and our conscientious canine is not to be seen. Our AMS President (and his Council I believe) is taking us (the student body) for a ride. We paid him in the neighbourhood of $2000 to idle away the summer while Joe Blow slaved in the ash pits for three-quarters that sum. Two thousand dollars well invested could .have brought returns, especially at registration time. What did our $2000 return? One helluva mess! No one, not even the profs, knew north from south at registration time. They (the profs.) received the calendars as they entered the registration rooms to advise students on proposed courses, which in many cases were the wrong choices. The administration pulled the bag over Peter's head and he didn't even let out a peep. How much did Mr. Ayre pay you, Peter, for not minding the student's business? Organizing summer school dances etc. seems to be all you did all summer. And in the fall when people realized that they were being given a raw deal, they started a committee to look into the matter. What did Pete go out and fight for: irecognition of course changes and details about administrative structure. You sure poured the soothing oil upon troubled student waters and I'm sure Mr. Tamblyn appreciates it. A precedent has been set and next year the administration will feel much more confident about throwing it into us once more. Another thing: the AMS Council meeting held during the general meeting on October 13 was constitutionally closed. Why? Don't we have the right to see how our representatives vote? If they too are going to chicken out in the crisis we should know, for it is our rights which they should be fighting for. A final matter Mr. President: it seems that 50 of the choice spots in the pairking lot immediately in front of the new tunnel entrance did not go on the auction block. Are these for yourself and for 49 of your friends? Wake up, watch-dog and crawl out of your kennel, or go bury your bones in someone else's yard. George Roy Arts II.

In tracing the success of students evaluated, they have discovered that it is the bright student, even the brilliant, who more often than not "drop out" of university. Those with "middle range" abilities graduate and often enter post-graduate pro~ammes. Not surprisingly, those who do poorly on the tests Bunk out" early. These findings are forcing educators to reconsider their stereotypes and prejudices concerning "drop out." They are not, as was previously supposed, cowardly, impatient, or maladjusted. In fact it takes a lot of plain guts to reject all the conventional pressures and willfully to abdicate formal education. Increasingly, drop outs are found to be very bright J>eQple, disillusioned with regimentation, static disciplines, and an institution which reflects what is often called a very sick society. They do not, as is often suspected, get a good job, buy a Mustang, and forget about learning. That has become the distinction of the graduate, the person who has been successfully dulled to the lost promise of the time, and of himself. For example the CYC, the hospitals, and the hippy communities are picking up a lot of. these "drop outs." LAKEHEAD LOSES MANY Everyone here knows a few-they certainly aren't all the same. But many represent distinct losses to Lakehead University. Some drop outs. A., a talented poet, left for the east. B., an encyclopedia of pornography, is leaving for the west. G., a poet and musician, has taken a job helping children. And there are many, many others. Universities must stop accommodating, even glorifying, mediocrity. This university is young, controlled by-self-proclaimed "liberals," and claims to be open to suggestion from any quarter. Considering the massive fire under which it is now labouring, and the obvious fact that "drop outs" are merely the tip of a very large iceberg, it must begin to listen to a few of the more radical voices. If not, this university will continue as an undistinguished local public utility. A Prayer Mighty Argus: I pray that thou hath, ih thine voice of 6ctober 12, 1967, misquoted our most noble Alma Mater Society Pre~ident. At a mortal University Committee Meeting, didst thou truly hear Mr. Young quoth, ''We don't wish to follow the lead of other universities and push for student representation on the Senate and Board of Governors and all that. We can accomplish more in this committee."? Ideally t h e University Committee (that host of well known, ranging to anonymous, souls) could still remain enthroned to deal with earthy, non-academic problems i.e.. bridge playing in Gude's cafeteria and plugging into half-time electrical outlets. (Hallowed be these causes). Give Mr. Young the strength not to belittle the student representation on governing bodies of the university "and all that." Agreed, Mighty Argus, presentations could be made to Senate via University Committee, but give us the courage to realize the possibility of unholy implementation of academic justice. How long would it take problems to reach the Senate through another committee? My impatience betrays me, Mighty Argus. Leave us not wade through Satan's bureaucratic mud. Carry us through the pearly gates of Senate, the great God Senate, manipulating the students. For if students are in there, they too may be angels and whisper in God's ear should he fail (tremble, tremble, tremble) to realize the dimensions of reb'Ulations he passes. And there may even be, Mighty Argus, a responibility of a ·brave ange~ a very brave angel, asking fellow members. of that most heavenly host, exactly what the four Saint Peter's duties are. God may even consider whispering the functions of his other sub-angels. Karl A. J. Goodwin. Amen, Detroit... Summer 1967 The community that loots together The White and Negro communities in the inner city of Detroit have several perceived common enemies: the loan sharks who make no di//erentiation the the basis of colour, race, or creed; _the "buy-now• pay-later" furniture • stores, who sell worthless goods at exorbant Prices: and last but not least,· the police depart· ment, seen by most inner city residents as an occupation force, living in comfortable . homes safe in the suburbs. The west end of the city of Detroit serves as a point of entry for groups immigrating. into the city, both from foreign countries and from the southern United States. As a result, the West side contains groups of Southern Negroes, Whites, Spanish Americans and other less numerous ethnic groups. We lived in a house on the near west side, in the area which was 50 per cent southern Negro, and about 50 per cent poor southern White. Members of these groups had migrated from the South because of the impossible living conditions in their home towns. Both groups (and this will at first blush seem. a surprising fact) looked back with nostalgia upon the old homestead and longed to return. Whites and Negroes live together in our area out of economic necessity. Whites grudgingly give up some of the public habits which are proper in the South; they do not often say "come here boy," or use the word ''Nig~r." Because the Whites are forced to. take a public position which may be different from their private beliefs, tJ~ey gradually come to change some of their beliefs to make them more in h81'- • mony with their actions. WHITE AND BLACK TOGETHER When the Detroit riot burst its seams from the predominately Negro 12th Street, where it began, it flowed into our neighbourhood. Near my house it became apparent to me that this was no standard race riot. The furniture store on THIS AD CAN SAVE YOU 20% on your purchase o.f paperbacks THE THIN MAN by larry anderson the corner was looted and burned three times, by both Whites and Negros. During the loooting, people-Whites and Blacks - mingled freely, eX!changing items and passing goods out the windows· to one another. Two doors away from the burning furniture store, both Whites and Blacks went in and out of an ice cream parlour, p~ing for the ice cream. The store owner is a southern White who lives in the neighbourhood. The first three or four days of the riot, I witnessed a community spirit that was glorious to behold, Whites and Blacks mingled together in a joyeous, and at times, carnival atmosphere: - not know was who might tell on them and which of ~heir neighbours might tell. Within minutes the colour line of suspicion was redrawn. Neighbour peeped out to neighbour the question on their minds, "Will that Black bastard tell?'' or ''What's Whitey up to now?" In a half hour the block was still •~mpty, no looted goods appeared, but the seeds for the next riot had been sown. When I left Detroit, three weeks later, the truck had still not returned. POLICE DISRUPT COMMUNITY The Detroit police department soon moved in to disrupt the community. On Thursday, five days after the riot had begun, a black squad car, filled with policemen carrying high po~red rifles motored down our street with a loud speaker blaring. Behind them followed two large trucks. The speaker said, "We have a federal ' search warrant (it was untrue-there is no such thing for the crimes involved). We are going to be back in one half hour. Place all looted goods on the front walk and and no questions will be asked. If you do not comply, we will search your hiouse, and you will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law!" . The people in my Cornt"1Unity knew some things, and they did not know others. They knevs.• it would be almost impossible for the police to return the stolen goods to the original owners, since it required a signed confession by the looter and a positive identification of the item by the store owner. The community also knew that some homes had been searched and all a person's possessions had been confiscated.

Decision making is an intricately difficult and solitary process. There is a war on somewhere. Two ideologies are supposedly fighting, and your government is sending out these papers to males over eighteen years of age, demanding that they participate in murder. I am a draft dodger. For two years I thought about war, and thinking about war and induction papers concerns more than visions of a battlefield. I thought about history and politics and freedom and boundilries and presidents, and people and society, churches and jails, the rich and the poor, Democracy and Communism, economics and the military, and birth and death, and love and hate and freedom. And I came to a basic conclusion after juggling all those-and more-around in a hundred combinations perhaps love is freedom, and hate is not. And of course I saw very often the horrors of war. I saw masses of American soldiers and masses of Vietnamese, all dead or dying. I saw bombed villages and bombing "mistakes." And those glorious jets I saw spewing napalm, and screaming women and children-some of them on fire-and others who could no longer walk because they had no legs. And still others I saw who just lay there dead. I saw one continuous line of naked Jews trudging along single file to showers. I saw their gold fillings extracted, and Ilse Koch's lampshade of human flesh. I saw again all those pictures we have seen many times. And ignored. Then I saw President Johnson speaking on television; he was saying something about freedom and human dignity. And there was Lady Bird planting a tree, and consternated Congressmen, and I kept on seeing Negroes for some reason, and I even glimpsed the Pope, and there were neighbors enjoying the freedom of reading Ann Landers and tuning in for Gomer Pyle. I heard several neighbors in their living room tableau exclaim during a Viet Nam broadcast: "Oh, that's horrible. Why do they have to show that kind of stuff!" 11 paradoxes" Oftentimes this contemporary kaleidascope would tum just so and I would laugh with cynicism and disgust. I saw the National Paradoxes growing more apparent-especially Capital Punishment. I tried to conceive of two ideologies holding guns against each other . . . that vision l could not see. I saw myself slowly dying in pain after having killed a few enemies, wondering why, and then humming the National Anthem before expiring on the field of glory. This was the Preposterous Paradox concerning American intentions. I began to understand the true nature of the conflicts (plural) in Viet Nam, and my stand against the war became more vehement. I argued and discussed endlessly, and had to deal with many cleverly calculated arguments such as "What would you do if a Viet Cong married your sister?" SUPP -RT DRAFT ftEFUSilS -~ DE -ND....W AR-TAX REFilNDS . ...... T! RESIST! RESIST! . Draft resistance scenes such as this one are becoming more frequent in the U. s. Do these demonstrations indicate a breakdown of the Great American Society? That one was asked my two friends and myself by a Green Beret who stormed into a novelty shop, furious, and screaming about Mao Tse Tung posters hanging alongside Dylan, Garbo, Keaton, et al. The Green Beret was just back from Viet Nam duty. We argued with him and asked man7 questions. He said, "Sure it's a political war, but goddamit its my country, and I don't care if it's wrong/" He described in vivid detail the atrocities he had committed and seen. He was shouting at us, "Communist/ Nigger lovers/" and went on about how the brains of the Oriental scum and those of Niggers were smaller and that they were all illiterate. We asked him why, and he said because they no white blood. He said if he were in charge he'd have the three of us shot just like that. I looked at the fire in his eyes, and I believed him. I heard that song, The Ballad of the Green Berets, the part that says: "Put silver wings on my son's chest. Make him one of America's best." I felt nausea. There were elaborate political, social, economic perspectives which we discussed also. Many of them were labyrinthian, abstract, and often pointless. I kept on seeing visions of history's horrors, and I would mention the attitude of the Germans as six million went up in smoke, and someone would shout "False analogy! False analogy!" There exist murder en masse perpetrated by a national consciousness, nationally organized: this is the parallel. decision to make So I decided that I would not hasten the madness of a world threatened with imminent, total destruction. Under any circumstances, no. The decision about the war was resolute. I was a "stubborn idealist," "a dreamer." The dilemma of another decision was there before me: Five years of prison? Immigration to ·Canada? A career ":ith. the medics who repair killers? The underground? Conscientious Objection? It was difficult. For one year there was the expectation of those papers in the mailbox. I had limited my choice to prison or Canada, and often I felt the anxiety of uncertainty. One day as I got off work my friend appeared with a grave look and told me the news: My induction notice had come. I was relieved and felt a certain peace, because I knew at last that the decision would have to be made, and also the plans if I decided on Canada. After a long deliberation I at last decided upon Canada. Prison seemed more like needless masochism than an effective stand. So we then made dozens of phone calls, and obtained a .rough idea of immigration procedures. We spent hours ruminating over possible complications at the border. When the day came to leave I packed one large suitcase, �November 2, 1967 THE ARGUS Page 7 dratt dodger . by d.d. c~efully sel~ting books, clothing, and other necessities. It was painful. I said goodbye, and one day prior to my induction date crossed the border. At that moment I realized the U.S.A. wa; now forever closed to me. immigration officials hostile I soon learned in Port Arthur that my immigration application had been refused on the grounds that I had little work experience, no trade, and meager funds. For two hellish months I attempted to obtain a student visa from the. hostile immigration officials. I visited SUPA in Toronto and also spoke to the wonderful immigration people there. I told them I had evaded the draft, that I had a sponsor statement notarized, and that the immigration offici~ls in the Lakehead would not co-operate. They were qmte shocked and amazed about the immigration officials here, and said that their questions about the draft were irrelevant and none of their business. Thev said I had the sufficient papers, so I returned to the Lakehead and three days before the expiration of my visitor's visa, I was granted at last a student visa. . My dealings with immigration were very complicated and tiresome, and I am weary of trying to explain them. If it weren't for the friends I had at the Lakehead-concerned University people-I would most certainly be in prison today. fanaticism personified So suddenly here I am in another country. I have no regrets whatsoever, and I do not really miss the States. I miss only a handful of people. I had spent nineteen years in St. Cloud Minnesota., a citf ~ see personified to. a large degree by a fe~ super-patrm~ ladies groups armed with snippet scissors who gu_ard the city from tr~th and or obscenity. Most people who thmk at all and have hved there for even a short time feel surrounded, as if the walls of the state prison there had enclosed the city t~. Paranoia is rampant, due to the war, mostly. The city has produced many prominent business men and flag fanatics, as evidenced by Osco Drug's window display of American flaJ!,s about five months af!,o-a mass of red, white, and blue-for sale behind plate glass. This sounds very cynical, yes, but the truth of the town is indeed, as in much of the States, a grotesque caricature. Sinclair Lewis was born forty-four miles away; "Main Street" and "Babbit'' are not foreign to Saint Cloud. And what do I think of Canada and Canadians? I don't know Canada and I am admittedly ignorant of its history. In American texts the closest we came to Canadian history was studying Cartier who discovered the Saint Lawrence, I think. I am surprised at Canadians' knowledge of the states-even geographical knowledge. Few Americans can name even three of the provinces. Canadians-or those I have met-are generally more thoughtful, somewhat friendlier, and more spontaneous. However, many of them are uncommitted as to the Viet Nam war. If I have caused some to think about it, I am pleased. I am often asked why I am against this war and, wearx of politics and lengthy explanations, I would often like to say, 'For sentimental reasons," which in essence is quite true. However, it is impossible for me to stop there. There is the awful absurdity of a self righteous nation monstrously asserting itself against Communism in the wrong place. There are many Canadians who understand quite well what is going on and why, and there are many who understand my viewpoint. And of course there are those who immediately register "Draft dodger, hippy coward, traitor." Draft dodger I can hardly refute. Hippy? If that means an individual who has little faith in structures and organizations, yes. If a coward is one who shuns violence or needless destruction, ves. Traitor? If a traitor is a person who tells the majority of his country to go to hell; then, of course, I am a traitor. Another common question from Canadians: \Vhat do vour parents think? They did not like the idea of self-exile, but they understood in an intuitive wav, which-as far as I know-is the best way to understand. They have come to accept it. Often I am asked what do I think of American imperialism. I think the evil of American imperialism is typified by the classic "democratic" cliche "You're entitled to your opinion, I'm entitled to mine." It sounds very golden at first, but it is too often a justification for greed and selfishness. Often, too, an excuse not to communicate or to share. American politics? I don't know. For some reason I always think of the Academy Awards Ceremony and Hollywood Galas. The U.S. Educational System? I think the Canadian is better, I'm not sure. The high school in St. Cloud ·was very concerned with length of hair, type of clothing,, attendance, etc. "The Catcher in The Rye" is banned from its library. "Vllysses" was taken off the shelves, and one must explain to the librarians why one wishes to read it before they'll hand it over. Viscious complaints about alleged Communist teachings were, and most likely still are, very common. If the United States were as concerned about the evils of communism as thev let on, there would be intensive required studies of Communism on the high school level. I hope there are few high schools like that in the States. Negro riots-what do I think of those? Oppressed people sametimes mean business. The violence is regrettable but I am disgusted when I hear the oft repeated comment, "\Vh-y don't they take it to their representatives and solve their problems diplomatically." Now that is faith in American Democracy! fugitive And "How do you feel about being a draft dodger" is frequently asked me. I feel wanted by the FBI, and I sense these magnets at 0e bord~r waiting for me to re-cross. I am very bitter about this sometimes because I do not believe in Democracy. Sometimes it seems my nation doesn't. I don't like the word "dodger" though, since it connotes a sudden, imp'-!lsive leap across the border, a dramatic escape from hordes of police about 24 hours after the induction notice arrives. Most draft evaders have done very much thinking and searching within themselves before that sudden "leap." And there's the big one; "What do you think of the United States?" This one. is difficult and pain_fu~. There is much good in the ,country and m the people, but 1t 1s being obscured, and I don t know all the whys, but I have seen it and sensed a souring of something there. ~he ~nited ~tat~s, to me, is a tragedy and a paradox. In my s1tuat10n, I thmk 1t somewhat more appropriate to enumerate evils rather than good points. American dream If a Canadian ask!': what I see in my mind when the word "America" is menti?ned, I'd like to give the .following structural montage: I spent four days in the St. Cloud jail for purchasing liquour, underage. From my cell through three sections of bars this is what I could see: In the right foreground was the large court house, and beyond tliat was Zapp's National Bank; across the parking lot was Schwartz Bar, its Grain Belt Beer sign illuminated; further back on the highest point of this city scape was the American flag on the Exchange building, waving arrogantly on high. Far away I could see the steeple of St. Mary's Cathedral, a small gold cross perche~ precariously up there. This visual epiphany was uncanny, and so perfectly indicative of those paradoxes I speak of. Ten years from now I wouldn't be surprised if the American Press, guilty of misinforming the people and breeding fallacies about this war, starts publishing magazine articles by the hundreds saying, "Viet Nam: The Tragic Mistake," and "Why Wasn't The Holocaust Stopped?" or less likely, "Who Is Responsible?" And if such articles appear and peoplt: wake up and wonder who was responsible, I won't be around. �Page 8 THE ARGUS November 2., '1967 Machines for living by William sheridan The buildings of North America comprise the biggest collection of junk in history, Our cities display a lack of planning and a waste of resources plus space, which considering our present knowledge, can only be ter.med criminal negligence. Our horizontal expansion covers precious acres of arable land, produce miles of roads with their concomitant traffic problems, and necessitates at least a dozen different types of delivery service. The individualistic building concepts. encouraged by those purveyors of sucker bait, the teal estate interests, result in homes which waste heat profusely and leave residents blocks or 'miles away from schools, stores, theatres and libraries, etc. The materials and construction techniques which go into most homes today contribute to a plannde obsolesence guaged to reduce the house to rubble in 1ess than 30 ye~rs. On top of all this, the use of fossil fuels for heat and propulsion has resulted in an air pollution problem of plague proportions. We are in a hell of a mess. Vertical expansion in North America is found to be isolated, costly and inefficient SOLUTIONS TO THE MESS Durability, economy of space, convenience of services, concentration of facilities, continuous service - a society of our present proportions (technologically and demographically), a city must of necessity provide these features. We now have sufficient synthetic materials to construct buildings that would last for hundreds of years. Vertical extension is the only feasible way of housing our present population. This would leave -more park facilities for all, and leave valuable arable· land available. Commodity outlets, . educational, recreation and entertainment centres should all be eccessible to all, in a few seconds, for a few steps. There is no reason to operate two outlets where one is sufficient. A line of similar stores and of delivery trucks can be eliminated. A balanced load method of production and distribution would guarantee a 24-hour a day availability of all goods and services. TECNOCRACY"S DESIGN In accordance with the technological and social specification~ of this age of abundance, Technocracy Inc. has designed an Urbanate which is worthy of man's intelligence. A typical block would be rectangular in shape, about 400 meters wide and 1000 meters long, with the buildings around the periphecy and an open space in the interior. A typical U:rbante would provide residence for 16,000 to 20,000 people. The outer walls would be continuous, of some heavy form of construction, for example, meter-thick concrete. The inner part would be terraced, with open insets to provide adequate lighting, The central area would be park-line space, possibly with an open water way going through, at least with warm swimming pools. Temperature would be controlled by a thermodynamic heat pwnp, a reversible refrigerator-type unit. Precripitron dust collectors will automatically remove 98 percent of the dust from the air. • All transportation would be underground. A "pipe", 35 feet in diameter would carry water, gas, electric telephone and mail services plus subway or motor vehicle transportation. The outer walls would carry the risers - elevators, ventilating shafts and pipelines, etc. Deliveries would be implemented by a, revolutionary, new service. A tube-conveying system, similar to the pneumatic tube, but powered by "sucking solenoid" magnets that couJd move anything from a razor blade to a refrigerator, would deliver any obje<:t from any one point to aey other point at the turn of a dial. Clothes, fooci. books, even the garbage could be whisked away at any time; no delivery boys needed. Most, of the cities would be situated beside the Continental Hydrology canals. Bulk transportation of supplies would be accomplished by water. A Marine Train would simply pull up beside the Urbanate, lock into place~ and be unloaded by hydraulic lifts. The cargo would be removed and lifted up the inside of the outer wall, being automatically sorted and displaced as it went up, all without a hum.an hand. Marine trains would also serve as floating classrooms, a part of every child's education being a trip around the entire Continent by water. ' However, education in this New America would involve learning to produce and living with an abundance. Cities would truly be, MACH!NES FOR LIVING, CAMPUS OBSOLETE? A dream of the far distnat future? No indeed; technoligically feasible today, socially necessary tomorrow. If present trends in our society continue, these new cities will be built for North America within a decade. A start will probably be made within 18 months. Most of our present cities will have to be torn down and mined for their metal content. All of them are obsolete in terms of our present needs. (The proposed campus of La-kehead University may never be completed or used.} This is Techn~cracy lnc.'s plan for the future.

Larry Anderson told of his feelings after the protesters were not allowed to leaflet in Fort William due to an old bylaw. The bylaw states that no leafletting will be allowed without permission of the authorities. "We all milled iM"ound for a few minutes," he said. "I was very ashamed that I didn't have the guts to stand up and say 'Is this cause more important than some obscure ordinance?' But I didn't. I put my tail between my legs, climbed into my car, turned on my lights, and quietly followed the policeman out of town." About 25 cars participated in the rally, all carrying posters protesting the war. No static was received by the leafletters in P o r t Arthur. "The people took the leaflets from us with no objections or denunciations. My son and I had no difficulties when we were in front of the PUC building," he said. . The picture was quite different when they arrived in Fort William. The march organizer told the group that the police had forbidden them to leaflet, since there was that bylaw about littering in the streets. However they were told that littering in the park was allowed. "And the park was cold, windy, and empty," Larry Anderson said. University Health Programme Flaw found in student loan plan SASKVILLE (CUP) - A contradiction has been discovered in information describing the Canada Student Loan Plan. 'fhe Athenaeum, student newspaper at Acadia University, printed the contradiction Friday, October 20. A pamphlet released by the Federal Government entitled Canada Student Loan Plan - Instruction to Students says the plan's regulations permit a wide degree of flexibility in setting loan repayment terms. But the application for the loan, entitled Schedule B, says in part that loans must be repaid, in equal monthly sums, "except otherwise provided in the Act and the Regulations, ending not earlier than 5 years and not later than 10 years after the month in which the student ceases to be a full-time student." In non-bureaucratic language this means a student Windsor students seat four on senate WINDSOR (CUP) - Four Windsor .students will sit on the university senate, president J. F. Leddy announced Friday. "I am very pleased with this result," said Leddy, "It is a very constructive move and I am sure the students have a very useful contribution to make." The senate will have four student members: the president of the students' council, ex-officio, and three to be chosen by a method proposed by the students' council. One of the three chosen will be a graduate student. The senate also approved student membership .ion a number of senate committees.

The committees involved include the senate academic committees on arts a n d sciences, applied science and business administration, the library committee, and the committee on student conduct, activities and discipline, and additional and special standing committees f o r which students may have unusually appropriate qualifications, according to the university information officer. The 55-member senate accepted unanimously the recommendations of the special senate committee on university goveniment. Richard Wyszynski, student council president, said he was very pleased. He said it was an historical event that will go untouted because there was no dramatic struggle involved as was the case at the University of Western Ontario. "The senate merely made official what has been known for some time," he said. by ralph barone cannot repay a loan in less then five years. Free health services are available on campus to students this year. This service has been active since September 19, 1967. But, as stated in the above quote, this regulation is subservient to "the Act and the Regulations," which clearly state ·that loans can indeed be repaid quicker than five years. With the rapid growth of Lakehead . University, the need for a Student Health Programme was recognized, and in September of this year a Health Unit was established on campus. F. P. Passy, chief of the Canada Student Loan Plan told Canadian University Press in Ottawa Tuesday, "there is obviously something wrong here." • The purpose of the Health Programme is to promote better health, in its broadest sense, for the students and all members of the universi.ty comm.unity. He pointed out that students could certainly repay Canada Student Loans at a faster rate.

The Senate passed a resolution at their November 3 meeting, calling for: -detailed agendas of each Senate meeting to be sent to the AMS Council. -minutes of each meeting to be sent to the AMS Council. -student delegates to be mos(scoop able to appear before the Senate to support written briefs on matter-s in the agenda relating directly to . the student body. "This is a very significant break through in the light of the near-tragedy at the beginning of this term," said AMS President Peter Young." We are hoping it won't be the end. We hope the University Committee will be able to work with the AMS on getting represenatives on the Senate." "This throws terrific responsibility on the AMS executive as the student's representatives," said University President W. G. Tamblyn. Any mistake that you fellows make will create diffieulties for those who follow you." "Let's not conform to the pattern set by other universities," he said. "Just because they push strongly for Senate representation let's not follow in their tracks. Let's weigh this thing and see if we can get something better." "The key is . to evolve a tool that works," stated faculty representative Mr. D. Alexander." When the day comes that it no longer works, then we will have to evolve another vehicle." Mr. D. Morgan termed the resolution a real break- THE through." But Dean J. Kerr warned against running blindly into th~ Senate. "Student feeling and thinking is moving very rapidl.yi-so raipdly that students can't keep up with it," he said.

TWELVE .PAGES November 9, '1967 Saturday~ October 28, 4.45 p.m. by bob leggett Six thousand students joined the march this moming and for what?

As I was about to turn and head home to consume more of the weekend rations l noticed yet another marcher. He was going North as the marchers were heading South. He was also proceeding at a .much slower rate of speed. He was on e of those older men - the kind we refer· to as bums, hoboes, rubby dubs, etc., at least if - one were to judge by appearances. His shoes were very old brown ones, one had no leather in the back and his bare heal was •exposed. I suppose that might slow him down a bit. Most of the walking "do-gooders" took no notice of him as he shuffled North with his head hung low and his back h h d H d'd r te an ocunc e • e i a casional "what are you doing t t'" t f k on my s ree . ype o 1oo f th odd lk H' rom e wa er.

When we finally approached him, after watching him for a few minutes, we noticed he was quite an old man. But then he was that type that could be 59 or 89. Obviously, by his hands, you could tell he had done his life's share of hard work. My buddy asked him, "How are you, sir?" "Not too god-damned good," he re- headed home. But now as I sit here writing, wearing away at my usual case of beex:, I'm bothered. Oh well, I guess I really shoudn't worry about things like charity. The farmers will likely get their co-operative, and the lady will get her $5,000 for Town Talk and maybe the old man will be home in his little room. I guess the marchers are still marching but they'll be home soon too. three corner tears and the pointed no_..,_ ..-wa. At thia we turned, mounted my !-housand dollar motor cycle and Circle K's annual hallowe'en type bash was enjoyed by many including these two gypsies or whatever they are. The other side of the • COIO by bill weiler (AMS vice president) is grossly unfair to leave students with a onesided coin Thus I feel that some defense of the AMS executive and Council is long overdue. I am not asking for complete forgiveness by the students for some of the confusion that has developed within the AMS executive, but let us at least consider the facts before condemning the people and actions taken. The executive had two strikes against it with first, the failure of Mr. Doug Robson last year, and second, the resignation of Wendy Ticknor a few weeks ago. I myself have only~ been in office a month and you must realize that orientation to such a position takes time. With Wendy's resign~tion we are swamped with extra duties. I feel now that we It are gradually improving our system. Slowly ~e are getting caught up to be able to keep up with the work load. You must remember that a very green executive was burdened with a very serious problem concerning registration etc. this year. We were forced to take one of two alternate methods fn ,solving this problem: radical action or conventional bargaining methods. Because we chose the latter, we were accused of "abandoping the students' pleas," and of "joining the Administrative army." I contend that the actions • I we took did get us the results we wanted. Ask around: how many students are still affected? I'm sure the answer is "none.'' We were accused of being a high school organization because we did not take the advice of some .members of the CUS Secretariat we consu1ted on the issue. I stated then as I do now that I have no intention of being dictated to by someone who openly states his belief in svndicalism (consult a political science .major for a translation) and whose decisions ·1·efl.ect this belief. The ARGUS is the students' key method of criticism; with that fact I have no beef. But if you are going to complain, at least use the brain that was supposedly j!iven to you when you checked into this world. One of our irate students used the ARGUS to let off steam (or was it hot air?). Prepare yourselves, fellow councillors, for apparently on October 18, at the AMS Council meeting, we dis- cussed " at great length such important matters as where thev (we) will obtain a dm;ble-reverse-bottle holder, -iripper-and - jigger - fixer." Perhaps I was alseep when that came up, but I still cannot -f ind it in the agenda. This critic goes on to state that the suggestion to limit discussion on the regstration issue to one-half hour was ridiculous. As a point of interest, this particular discussion lasted one hour and fifteen minutes. Recembering that this was one item of 12 on the agenda; at that rate the meeting would have lasted 15 hours. I. would like to close off these comments with the suggestion that while criticism is good, a little co-operation and assistance would go a lot further. Back-stabbing is an awfully low tactic! �Page 2 Simon says _, Club Notes Any club wishing to put announcements in the ARGUS must hand them in to the ARGUS office by Thursday at 6:00 p. m.

Two years ago they marched against the war in Vietnam. Today the fight is closer to home-in fact it is home in the offices and lecture rooms of every university. The cry among the "20 per cent ... who do most of the writing, talking, agitating, and creative work" (if MacLeans is to be believed) is now for "student power"; a catch-phrase not as frightening as it might sound, but with important implications for the future of Canadian education. It is not difficult to hypothesiz-e why this change has taken place. The civil rights movement is dead and the message from black leaders is "Clean up your own house baby-or we'll burn it." The Vietnam cause continues, but despite its new respectability it has had no clear result-and students are impatient people. Perhaps the implication of relative failures is that sincere effort against a rotten situation is not enough, and that there is too much underlying rot which must first be got at that has moved the student to "clean up his own house." That is - merely a guess-but a popular one. The fact is that from Memorial to University of Victoria the revolution has come home. QUIET GENERATION SETTLED The movement's key, as stated, is "student power." Or more delicately, student representation on the governing boards of universities. This demand is clearly a manifestation of the more aware and more involved spirit which the frightening social and political situations of the sixties has forced upon students. The "quiet generation" of the fifties are now in comfortable junior management, while the very noisy (but still a minority) bunch of 196 7 is demanding more control in society and certainly more control over their own lives. Involvement in the control ( or destruction) of the immediate environment, the university, is the obvious first step. Student complaints are well known: hundreds of students per lecture, professors heard but never spoken to, and course cards not to be folded, spindled or mutilated. They claim, and in several cases have demonstrated, that a dog can be enrolled, successfully complete courses and graduate, without any trouble whatsoever-just good friends. They denounce the "knowledge factory" dedicated to the processing of technicians and the proliferation of flaccid middle-class propaganda. Their more profound arguments are that an automated, cybernetic society no longer needs to turn out finely-honed technicians but should create a truly "liberal man" of the sort Newman called for a century ago-a man who can remain a human despite potentia)ly stultifying leisure, the machinations of a computerized corporate society, and cries for help from the "third world." FREEDOM TO LEARN They demand lernfreiheit (freedom to .determine, at least in part, what they wish to learn) to compliment the "lehrfreiheit'' (freedom of professors to teach what and how they please) which has largely been won by faculty. They condemn grading and lock-step advancement as services provided as conveniences to - the corporations. They recognize the damage done in the name of "public image" and "fund raising." They tell administrations that their functions are strictly j;mitorial and secretarial and to kindly keep the hell out of academic matters. They look to Europe, and the healthy communities of scholars which are its universities, for example and inspiration. The more sophisticated criticisms that curricula are abstract and static, that the disciplines are inward and academic, and that imagination, creativity and spontaneity are either discouraged or actively destroyed, often come from the junior. faculty. STATUS QUO SAVED Reaction from supporters of the University status quo ( usually composed of some faculty, the administration, the government, the press, and the public) adhere to the view of Clark Kerr (President of Berkeley during its famous rebellion in 1964) that the modem university "is an imperative rather than a reasoned choice among elegant alternatives." They point to the proliferation of education and claim that - it is functionally impossible to achieve much more, and that certain sacrifices must be made to demands put on the university by its. "many publics." When pressed they fall back to the pragmatic arguments of Sydney Hook who states, rather paternally, that "academic freedom exists primarily for teachers ... students have a right to free.dom to learn"; or they assert Flexner's argument which boils down to a glorification of post-graduate and research work at the expense of undergraduates. At root the status quo claims that whatever the shortcomings the university must and does reflect the society which supports it. The students concede that but return with the valid claim that society is rotten and that if anything is to initiate change, it must be the university. These then are the keys to the problem: students fighting alienation, impersonality, and paternalism, the status quo defending what they claim is merely expedient. Next week: Some of the historical trends in education which are most often debated in the current squabble. ' I November Elevenih • lakehead university entombed Yes, friends, entombed. We do not pat ourselves on the back when we state that without the ARGUS, this place would be a regular cemetery. This is unfortunate, but nonetheless, true. Not everyone enjoys the bi-weekly dances or the intellectual discussion groups sponsored by everyone except the AMS. However, everyone who at• "umvers1 • ·ty" h as the ch ance to enJoy • tend s th1s the paper. Now the point of this epic; the AMS executive has threatened the ARGUS with a reduction in the number• of pages that we will be able to publish. This all stems from the fact that the executive is dissatisfied with the content ratio of advertising. The threat of a cut to the paper has been made on numerous occasions lately, even in an attempted humourous vein. This all comes about for a variety of reasons, the most notable being the state of the budget. The ARGUS has budgeted for approximately one quarter of this to ·publish 22 editions, each containing 12 pages. This budget was approved by the AMS Budget C,ommittee, but now some re-evaluations are being made so that every little corner of the activity world can get a chunk of the load.stoneoften duplicating one other.

These will be alloted to students soon after registration. Upper classmen will receive priority. Application forms will be available at registration. The cost is $10.00 per space." This is the Word as .laid down in the University Bible for 1967-68. It would appear that, as with any Bible, the interpretation of the Word is open to a wide range of opinion. To the as yet incompetely educated undergraduate it might seem that he would be able to rent a parking space with a plug-in for $10. Oh ye of little faith. Trust ye not the inexplicit word of the High Priests? Harken ye to the True Word. Parking will cost you $20. "There is no charge for parking in the general parking lots." Judge ye not the tongue of the serpent for it is forked up. "The Senate reserves the right to. make changes in this Calendar without prior notice." Here endeth the lesson. T:he Senate, which is an omnipotent body in this community of scholars, cannot be questioned and has the right to act arbitrarily on all issues. It is therefore above our questions. The AMS, which is an impotent body in this community of scholars, is supposedly of the students and is therefore not above our questions. Indeed it has been shown that many of our questions are above it. The Administration has "asked" that we abide by the Calendar for the purpose of degree credits. Why is it that we may not follow the Calendar in this instance? There a r e other questions too. Why is it that th4: faculty, who must be cons1dE:red a part of this community of THE ARGUS sch?la_rs, do not have. to PSI.! sumJ~r fee for their plugms? Why n_,.u_st students pay !or the pnvilege of entermg a course and then pay for the privilege of get~g close enough to the buildings to take the course? Why did the AMS take so long to act on this issue? Why didn't the AMS recognize this as an issue? Does the AMS know when this regulation was changed? Does the AMS believe that there could be any valid reason for ,raising or even applying such a fee?

Monique est une jeune femme tres jolie, tres vivante. Tout d'abord, elle refusa de parler politique, reiterant son refus plusieurs reprises. Lorsque nous lui avons demande pourquoi elle avait exprime !'opinion qu'elle trouvait l'auditoire de !'Ontario. plus difficile a plaire que d'autres, comme celui de la Bussie ou de la France ou des Etats-Unis, elle manifesta son etonnement: ''J'ai peur," dit-elle, "que ~on opinion ait ete completement mal interpretee. Je ne voulais pas venir chanter au Canada anglais parce que je croyais qu'il n y aurait pas assez de personnes qui s y interessent a venir m'entendre. Comme ii y en a, alors c'est different. C,ela me fait plaisir, et je ne trouve pas le public ici plus difficile qu'ailleurs." Elle a chante un peu partout, mais surtout depuis un mois et demi. Elle a chante pour la premiere fois Toronto l'annee demiere. Elle finit maintenant une tournee de tout le Canada, c'est-a-dire qu'elle a chante dans le Manitoba, !'Alberta, la Colombie Britannique, Jes territoires du Nord-ouest, l'Ile du Prince Edward, le Nouveau Brunswick et l'Ontario. Demain, elle sera Strathford avec sa troupe de musiciens, et ce sera la fin de la toumee.. Elle discuta ensuite un de ses disques qui a ete joue tout demierement au Club Fran~ais, ici notre universite, et qui s'appelle "Le mariage anglais," une ballade fran~caise du l Seme siecle. Elle dit ne mettre aucune significaf:ion speciale dans ses chansons. Ensuite, elle discuta la carriere de Melle Joan Biaz qui est une chanteuse americaine de protestation. Ciette chan teuse a un grand repertoire, mais Monique, qui pourtant adore a a a a Joan Biaz, dit qu'elle ne veut pas se meler de politique. Le but d'un artiste est d'amuser son auditoire. Elle pense aller au Japon avant la prochaine exposition, e meme pendant que celle-le durera. Pour ce qui est des autr pays d'Orient, comm~ l'Australie, elle n'a pas de projet. Elle va ou son metier la porte et ne desire pas etre la representante de )!!;ipolitiques! ni d'etablir de relations ~tre le Cana~ fran~ais. et ' les pays etrangers. Elle veut tout srmplement faire son. metier de chanteuse, ce qu'elle fait admirablement bien d'ailleurs. Quand l'un de nous lui a demande si elle esperait uh jour prendre part dans une comedie musicale fran~aise, elle repondit que les comedies musicales fran~aises, n'existent pas. Qu'il y avait eu beaucoup de tentatives, mais jusqu'ici aucune reussite. Que si le jour venait ou ii y en aurait qu'elle serait ravie d'en prendre part, d'y jouer un role. Elle comments alors sur son refus de permettre un de nos reporters de prendre des photos, disant qu'elle n'etait pas tout instant prete prendre des photos, qu'elle n'avait pas vingt ans, et que quand elle se sentait fatiguee, comme elle l'etait apres une toumee d'un mois et demi, elle ne voulait pas voir dans Jes joumaux sa tete qui ne serait peu son goftt. . Pour Monique, la partie la plus attrayant.e de son metier est le moment de la preparation avant la representation, ou les pre•eres fois qu'elle presente des chansons au public. Pour elle, .,_..)es chansons et le theatre sont la meme chose, un moyen d'expri:. ·•Jmer son exuberance, sa gaiete, son besoin de vivre. Elle deteste les fetes, la vie mondaine-c'est pour cela qu'elle ne rest.e pas plus longtemps qu'elle ne le peut dans les villes de sa toumee. a a a a nterviewed by janine feelay photos by westman (Peak) and skula reviewed b boyd 1ussey She came to sing of love; sang; and conquered her audience in the University Theatre. And many of those present had never heard of Monique ·Leyrac before. This same audience, which sat on its hands for most of the night, were on their feet for three curtain calls at the end of a varied and times exciting programme. Mlle. Leyrac opened with "Ce Soleil" and her apparent nervousness disappeared as she swung coyly into her first English song "One More Dance." It was in the English portions of the performance that she slipped from the heights she attained in the FTench selections. This is not to say that Mlle. Leyrac did not deliver her English selections with authority but they could not compare with the picture she ·creat.ed in t h e Vigneault, Levefilee song, l'Hiver. In the first set she demonstrated h e r versatility with a wide range of moods and tempos. Of particular note were "e Le Vent de i' Hiver", "Tout Mais Pas Ca" and the lively, foot-stomping, "Pot-Pourri." The latter did not receive the response it deserved from a slightly reserved audience. The second set was stronger. The reaction of an audience will greatly affect the output of a performer and in this portion of the programme we were closer to each other. We were moved by "Pendant Que" and the almost pleading "Parlez - Moi de Vous"; greatly amused by "John Sebastian Bach" and "I Wouldn't Walle Across the Street." We were again reminded. of Mlle. Leyrac's versatility in the lively "La Valse minute" and the stirring, powerful "La Manikoutai." If there was a particular weak spot it was in "If You Go Away," which the singer interpreted too emo- tionally. Through the whole performance M 11 e. Leyrac's prowess as an internationally acclaimed artist was never really in doubt. Conte's most difficult "Ainsi Soit-D" left the audience gasping at the polish with which she handled its intricacies. It is questionable whether Mlle. Leyrac deserved the standing ovation she received, for this was not an inspired performance, and she was visibly surprised at the ovation herself. Perhaps it was that she -con~eyed more of Monique Leyrac than she wished. Perhaps too, it was because of the words of the emotional and beautiful "Mon Pays," which may someday rank as Canada's national song. Mlle. Leyrac never stooped to conquer but rather lifted us to her and to her level of perfection. That is always more satisfying for the audience. �November 9, 1967 Page 7 TijE ARGUS The real unreal \NOrld of Arms and the Man by simon hoad Waiting, perhaps the whole picture of theatre group acting is rounded by waiting. A large portion of nights, four a week, in a select little band with chailrs, empty table and a script. Cups of instant coffee, battered lump sugar, and coonmunional cigarettes consumed for break. First rehearsals, w i t h scripts, and rough blocking. Walk around fictitious tables, into invisible doorways. Cold, alternate night journies; Slovac Legion, University theatre. Cigarette extinguished, c o f f e e placed down, shoulders straighten, and a tired man metamorphaizes into a Bulgarian officer. Group spirit exists, fostered by workng association, common interest. The structure grows larger. Actors must be closed by a dozen barriers; sets, props, and costumes. Grey afternoon trip to Founders Museum, with assorted amusements loading and unloading an old railwav caboose stove. Week later red truck drive to return, swap, too much Northern Ontario for a more Bulgarian stove. Fittings of braid and boots. The abstract reality of rehearsal, lines now memorized after a fashion, becomes fleshed in with a prop or three. Now success becomes more than actors. Backstage crew, create, change, scrap, or make do, by their work a set emerges. Ttckets, publicity and you wander around, dunning friends to buy your wares. Dress rehearsal, as technical difficulties, forseen and unforseen, create six hours o f .waiting. Performance night, and first glance at the program, did they spell .mv name correctly and what did they say about me. Makeup, smear on, wipe and with unaccustomed finesse stick an eye brow pencil into your eye. Wait, in the costume room, wait offstage, wait onstage. Lights down, curtain up. More waiting, now a trained wait, with one last frantic thought, what's my cue. That one step, from dark, warm obscurity lo bright, hard exposure. Many faced anonimity pooled in the darkness, a row of blank shadow faces, multiplied by many, all watching. Walk off, hot, sweaty and thinking of that slip y o u always make, apparent, with luck, only to you and the director. Play end, curtain, and <?urtain call, a line of peoples advances and bows. Clean up, dress and as a cliche, out for a drink. Home, and when this play ends it really doesn't, for the routine is always the same.

Congratulations Lakeheadl As a recent import to Port Arthur, I was extremely impressed by the talent of our local folk singers, and of course I was swept up by the humourous, and at times riotous, Travellers. The audience was almost lulled to l;}eep during the first is minutes of the show by Tom Kelly's "Squire James"' jokes (maybe they'll catch on), Mary McKimm's two self-composed ballads and the Freemen's first two numbers. I'm not knocking the obviously good talent but just the terribly quiet and peaceful atmosphere provid- ed at the beginning. WOISHWILL SAVES After a ballet of microphones and several renditions of a favorite Chinese !olksot\g "tu ning'', the· dozing audience spines were stTaightened by a relatively new Lakehead talent, Andy Woishwlll. I had never seen him perform, but had been told that he followed early Bob Dylan, Tom Rush, and Eric Anderson. His performance was exciting and had a definite professional air. He doesn't just sing a song he- believes it. This is •more than can be said for most "new-type" folk singers. I could have listened to much 0 u R B 0 0 K s T 0 R E by wendy wilson photos bill esarik more of him on Thursday night. TRAViELLERS TERRIFIC Things had definitely begun to look up on stage. When the Travellers appeared my little heart was oh so happy. I immediately fell in love with the lead .male singer, Ray Woodleyhe reminded me of my hero, Michael Caine. Unfortunately the Travellers had to perform amid persistant microphone troub les. At one point the guitarist Amos Garrett was moved to balancing on his toes in order to use a live mike. Their songs were lively and just what was needed totally to awaken the previously sleepy audience. Their "1-akehead Junction" bJ;"Ought tears to my -cold Winnipeg eyes, while the other songs· induced a laugh from my usually quiet humour corrtrol mechanism. LOCALS SHIHE After a fun-filled intermission and a nose-wrinkling introduction to part n of the Arts Folk Spectacular '67, Frank Shoemaker entertained. Once again I was astonished at the fantastic local talent. His songs, both written by himself, were favourably received l:>y both my ears and those of the audience. At this point the stage.was invaded by a multitude of guitars, bass, and violin called the Ramblers. They produced a very definite Western sound which prodded the audience to foottapping and, once in a while, "Ya hooing'' in the background. I didn't think the Go Go dancers were necessary in an extremely well played version of the "Orange Blossom Special", but . . . When Tom Kelly stopped talking and started singing the audience really began to listen. Tom "Good Guy" Kelly has a marvellous voice and did a beautiful rendition of "Danny Boy." It even made me, a staunch Cana- dian, wish I was more than one-sixteenth Irish. TRAVELLERS "BOSS" Once again the Travellers took over the whole audience. Their humour fai· outshone their musical prowe~ -and they are very good musicians. Thanks to the Travellers everyone in the place left with a huge grin on his face. They were _great! So I'm impressed, the audience was impressed everybody was impressed. The Arts. Society and the Folk Guild did a commendable job and should be congratulated. MeDONALII~ CIJBBIE & CO.

Some have spent time in other countries, e.g. the United Kingdom, the States, Australia, etc. There is another point which M. Sze-Chung Yuan reminded me about: the number of Chinese students that are stu<flying at J&lladian universities is not about 600 but far more. According to the Canadian section of the Commonwealth UniverYearbook of 1966, there are 761 . students from Hong Kong and 320 from Formosa in 1963-64. It is evident that the number of Chinese students increases greatly- every year. I would• like to estilhate that at this moment there are about 2000 Chinese students studying throughout Canada. Of course, the majority are from Hong Kong. As reported in the same article that Mr. Yuan said that the Hong Kong students had no trouble in adjusting to life in the Lakehead. But, remember there are two sides to the coin. This applies to the Chinese students adapting to the Canadian life. Apparently there seems to be little or no difficulties for these students to stay here. Actually they are facing a great challenge. For instance, the weather; the different tastes in foods, and the difference in _languages are the hardships which they have to overcome. In addition, they are not used to the bus service (I am not criticizing it) because they are unfamiliar with it. However, I trust t.hat difficulties, once overcome, will .make them feel better qualified to- exist in this world. Sincerely, Michael W. Li. Sir: . The article that recently appeared in the ARGUS (Nov. 2) edition puts forth a very strong -point. We agree that the mess should be cleaned up by the students. The reason we think that there is garbage sitting around is that there is garbage being served which someone has classed as. being food. • At the beginning of September we noticed quite a change in the coffee; it was better than it had been the previous year (1966-67 session) but to date it has gotten back to its original old shoe taste. We also noticed that: -the chili ii; reheated from day to day, cold -the chips seem uncooked, cold -the hamburgers are dry and lifeless, cold -etc, etc. One remedy for the food is to cook it yourself at home or to douse it with ketchup, salt, or pepper. Another remedy is bicarbonate af soda or T.P. Although these are only a few examples the complaint can be found with the other pig swale. We also think that prices have been run down enough, although a b o v e normal. meals (potatoes, meat vegetables, and desert) can 'be bought at other universities such as Queen's or McGill for under a dollar. Compare prices. P.S. Is the first idea of a business to make one helluva profit and then to provide a service ?

I have been called stupid, etc., for going there. Nobody understands that I want to be a teacher like another person wants to be a lawyer. I don't know if the students have a dislike for the institution, the profession, or the student body. There are all these supposedly open-minded students who think you are square or something else just because you go to L.T.C. :i'hey judge you by the building you attend, not by your own individual personality. In my eyes, these people are ignorant slobs. I do not conliemn them for the profession they are entering; rather judge them by the type of person they are. Nlost people, 1 think, still have the image of a dictatorial bitch of a teacher which they 'bad when ijley went to school. If this is w h y they judge us as they do, the:r are again unfair. They are judging us by someone else's acts. Today, as teachers, we are learning to run a democratic classroom. Everything is planned around the students' individual differences. We wi:ll do more in the shaping of our society than any parent or any other fat ass stting around writing of the problems in the world will. In July we will b.e joining with Lakehead U. Already you have asked us or included us in your athletic programme. But I'm sure if the majority of students had their way, we would be completely ignored. Just a small, insignificant example of that is the fact that on the radio an announcement said that your dance was open to university students and nurses only. I have been informed that football was practised on days which we were out teaching, thus we couldn't participate. Also that none of our boys can play in the final basketball games. I don't know how valid this is, but I do know we often give up the use of our gym for your people to practise in. Thus it would be only fair to let us participate. But sports isn't the topic I decided to write about. I don't know if this cold block (mental) will ever be lifted from most of the minds of the university students. I tend to doubt that these narrow-minded people that are so much better than us will e"!'er judge individuals for what they a i' e worth. Most of the kids at the college are great. I'm sure if you dared to associate with them you might have many "zestful experiences." After working at the O.H. Tuesday nights we go to the Shoreline, if you care to join us. I would like to be informed on how widespread this attitude towards L.T.C. is. I'm not saying everyone has this attitude, but others, as well as myself, have noticed it through comments, COME IN TO SEE Our Gifts & China lease Don't Touch! etc Maiybe an opinion poll on what the L.U. students think of the "things" over at Teachers College would provide me with an answer.

Ask any hippie, drop out or whatever, why he bu taken this course in life, and you will nearly always receive a storm of criticism of our society. And the storm is followed by the final l'esignation that it (society) will not change. He will then say that he cannot prostitute himself by supporting and thus helping tp perpetuate a society such as OU1'S. I would not go so far 48 to say that every acid-freak is devotel to a better society, but when so many people are saying something, it stands to reason that many of them believe it.

'l'he element of society "which e&WjeS the most grief" is, of course the government. There a.re two methods of keeping a nation in order. One is by brute strength, the other by deception. There is no country in the world today which operates without the use of both of these methods, although the degree to which each of these is utilized varies. Naturally, opposing countries play u p each other's faults by showing their people h o w tht! "enemy" pushes it populace around and witholds the truth. And when one man realizes that his country is just as guilty as all the rest, it may be a difficult thing for him to carry on support,. ing something he does not believe in. This , I believe sums up the esse nce of the hippie movement. There are thousands of things people would like to see changed, but here 1 would rather point to the cause of the hippies' 'flroblems: the government. I will speak' of the United States in particular, as that country is supposedly the symbol of free· dom in the world today. The government ol the United States ha& gained too much ·power and those who have it want to keep it and spread it liberally over the globe. This is a natural reaction. They are succeeding, and they believe they are ri(bt. The most clear cut example of this is of course the Vietnacese War. It is fairly clear that the South Vietnamese a rm y cannot stand up to the Viet Cong without American troops to help. There is no evidence of Communist troops comJng in from countries outside of Vietnam - only weapons. If America left all her weapons in South Vietnamese hands, the country would still fall to the Communists. This suggests to me that there is at least a strong minorifiy of Communists in Vietnam, but America seems to have forgotten this, as in the "free" election, when there was no mention of a Communist candidate. Is the United States standing for the free. dom to chose one's own government, or for her own b~d! k. if this isn't enough to send the freedom • loving American, into depths of despair, take a look at what happene4 to President Kennedy. U t h e peop1e don't mind seeing their country obstructing freedom, per~s they mind seeing it obstructing justice. The Warren Report is proof il'.) itself that Lee Harvey Oswald did not assassinate Kennedy. Jim Garrison, a New Orleans district attorney, recognized this fact and set out to discover what happened. He has received news coverage (as little as possible), ridiculou.s charges, and in general every kind of hindrance possible, sbQrt of being thrown in jail himself. 'Witnesses keep dying. The Central .Intelligence Agency k e e p s "classifying" their files on Jack Ruby, Oswald, and several other people. (No one is allowed to read classified files for 75 years). what the hippies strive towards. Why do they not help Garrison in his quest? Could it be there is something to bde? Perhaps if the truth was publicly known the gav. emment would not look so good. These are only two ex-amples. People like to think they're being told the truth, and sometimes they try to find out ·for sure. If t he quest for truth itself becomes strong enough, it cannot be blinded by a belief in what a country says. People begin to realize that all might not be the way it seems. So what is leftY You can hold strongly to your values, and you can get hurt. Or you can accept the facts and try to better them by helping others see. But you can still get hurt,. When the facts can be so effectively di.,gui:sed on major .issues, as these, imagine what might be happening in smaller incidents. The hippies, I believe, are a .nurture of people who have given up hope of an answer, others who see their llle ai the best method of protest they have, and attn othn'8 who have aone along f o r the trip.

Besides, these cheerleaders can be found in uniifonn more easily than can the girls of L. U. After a disappointing season Lakehead Mustangs gave it all they had and put on a .fine display in Winnipeg against the St. James Rams. However, they fell to the powerful Rams 26-12. In the 4th quarter the Mustangs gave up two touchdowns. It appeared they were tiring, due to the fact that several key positions were played by men going both ways. This was mainly because of the rookie laden roster of the club. Commenting on the game and season, Coach Bill Shannon said: "This past season was a rebuilding year for Lakehead Mustangs which brought together the established Mustangs, members of the now defunct Redskins, Lakehead University students, plus fine rookies from the High School ranks. It was my decision that win or lose we must play the rookies to give them experience. My greatest problem, having made the decision, was to keep the team from becoming discouraged when they lost aJ.ame badly. They did not become discourage , a fact made obvious by the tremendous showing in the semi-final game· a game which we lost on the scoreboard but which was a moral victory for the young Mustangs.'' • "<;,oach Shann~n•s points are well spoken, for 1t was definitely obvious that the game experience will provide a cohesive nucleus to build on Aext season," said John McLeod a rookie quatterback and end, in Arts I. ' Other uhiversity men on the team were: Don Smith-interior linebacker; Graham Hall-halfback and punter; John Buie-defensive halfback; Dave Montgomery-guard; Brian Sheehan-end; Harold Mickelson-guard and interior; Eero Vuorinen-guard and interior; Joe Barube-guard; l>ave Bahrynowski-fullb. and def. haH; Pete Andros-def. safety; George Keffer-def. halfback. Said Peter Andros in summing up, "With the return of several of these players as well as other veterans and rookies the Mustangs should be a team to contend with in the future. There are several students in the university who should have been playing but figured they wouldn't make it or just didn't care since it wasn't a university sport. Support the Mustangs next year and it won't be long before the university has a team of its own." S.A.S. report by glenn rajala The last SAS meeting saw the Chinese students represented by· Tory Tai.

Today we travel by road, rail, water, and air to all parts of the continent and the world. Resources and finished products move with ease from the manufacturer to the market. ANTIQUATED CONCEPTS But our methods of design for these new services are based on antiquated concepts. If our railroad track gauge was widened to half again its size, we could run trains at 200 mil.es per hour and control them. by computor. Using the concept of the flying wing, our air craft could be built to carry tons more for less fuel; the flying wing could be crash-proof and all serviced from the inside (engines too). A continental hydrology system could integrate the rivers and lakes of this continent to permit bulk transportation of materials at a cost of one-tenth per ton-mile the present railroad costs. Motor vehicles could be run by a buried cable up the centre of the lanes, with radar to prevent colJisions. Our welfare rests upon an efficient transportation system, and we need all of the above. RESOURCES SPREAD With our people and resources spread out across the face of the continent as they are, we need vast supplies of power in every corner of the country. Our high energy civilization will soon be converting over 20,000 kilo gram calories per person per day. With our present knowledge, we can build a power grid with lines capable of carrying 1,000,000 volts D.C. current for a distance of over 3,000 miles with only a 10 per cent transmission loss. This continent h a s a rendezvous with destiny and in that destiny lies the future of ,civilization. That destiny will not tolerate the politician and poverty, the economic pestilence of this price system. This continent has no choice but to lead the march of civilization. The opportunity is given to no other continent. The twentieth century belongs to North America. This continent's rendezvous with destiny, its task, is the elimination of human toil and the installation· of security and abundance. This continent will have its rendezvous with destiny within the next decade and upon this generation of North Americans will fall the competent and orderly achievement of a new civilization. This generation has the technology, the men, the material and ·, the machinery for its accomplishment. BIGGEST CHANGE IN HISTORY Let us renew the march of events that wll make this the biggest Social Change in history. When the white man came to North America there were approximately four million American Aboriginies on the land mass north of the equator. Today there are 400 mllions in this same area. Those 400 millions are being supported by the biggest array of technological equipment on the face of t he earth. That technology produces its goods and services by expending energy a n d moulding resources. T h e sources of requisite energy and other materials are located across the length and breadth of this continent. We get oil from Venezuala, Texas, Pennsylvania, and Northern Alberta. We use electric power generated in Northern British Columbia, Southern Ontario, and the Tennessee Valley. Oranges come from Florid;i and California. Iron ore is mined in Labrador a n d Minnesota. Coffee comes from Latin America and wheat cmnes from the Prairies. We need a social order, based upon geomechanics to survey and supervise vast areas of the earth both on the ground and below, to guarantee that our livlihood is maintained. Before the coming of the white man to North America, the native population travelled by foot. This mode of transportation and the existing agriculturiµ and/ or travelling hunter types of society soon set an . upper limit on the population and the standard of living. When the Spaniards introduced the horse to the Indians, the re- Lakehead Unitarian Congregation Power from the Yukon will go to Los Angeles if necessary. Power from Churchill would be available in New Mexico. PREVAILING ORDER PRICE SYSTEM The prevailing social order in North America is a price !O"Stem. Such a system is predicated upon turning of natural resources into dollars. To continue such a scheme, the economy must grow at a compound interest rate each year. This rate of expansion based . upon physical growth is impossible to maintain indefinitely. But while it does go on, it is responsible for a profligate waste of resources, both human and phys~cal. As a result of these trends North America faces a crisis in each of air and water polution, adequate housing facilities, soaring costs of living, shortages of irreplacabre resources, and incompetent and insufficient educational personnel and facilities. A crisis is just around the corner. DOMINANT UfTERESTS RESPONSIBLE Technology Inc. charges the political administrations, children by blockading social progress in the hope of preventing the arrival of a New America. Technocracy Inc. predicts that destiny will declare the price system "no dice," and without anger or malice issues fair warning to these dominant interests, that if they persist in ,maintaining this conspracy in the face of the technological march of events this gefleration of North Americans will at that rendezvous with destiny judge th.em to be guilty of continental treason. the corporate enterprises, and the debt merchants of the United States and Canada with being in possession of the data lmd the physical facts of the technological progression of this continent area.
