Last-year I was one of the few active participants in getting petitions toward better security. Well. it looks like a security-'"escort"serv. ice will be implemented. But there is still confusion on organization.

Restless, and The Board By Robert McKenzie At last Thursday's LUSU meeting, the first major item of discussion was the precedJng weekend's street dance.

Mr. Marsh was the person in charge of the licensed running of the facility which was located tn the main cafeteria. When later asked about LUSU's reaction to this, Mr. LeBlanc stated that "There was some resistance by LUSU organ17..ers". He went on to explain, however. that with the amount of staff hired for the event and the low numbers of students actually using the facility, " we would have continued to run at a loss anyway." ·.t· .When asked about ~the absence of a beer tent at this year's event, LeBlanc responded that adnun.fstratlon would not permit one as part oftheir endorsement of alcohol-free ~events.

He stated that LUSU cannot afford to sit aside and watch its representation dwindle further into obscurity. This point and all others were considered thoroughly and, after lengthy debate. the position of the board was clear - the threat of withdrawal would be issued to the CFS. Finally, during question period, the topic of LUSU's promotion of American Express was raised by sev• eral concerned councillors. They matnly wanted to 1mow why V.P.

And. finally. the company will provide a large programmable electronic sign-board for student use. This will be used for promQtlons in the pub. • When later discussing the Am-Ex promotions, LeBlane stated that he had run into resistance by the Alumni Association for promoting the card as they are promoting another card on campus. Alumni feels that they make more meaningful use of the revenue gained by commissions on their card and LUSU shouldn't compete with that. LeBlanc stated that it was LUSU's intention to provide a service to the students with the advantages that the card can provide for them. The main thrustbehtndthecampaJgn was not the intention of providing competition. LeBlanc feels little doubt that the Alumni position bad influence on administration's choice to forbid LUSU a stand on university property to promote their carcl. He also stated that LUSU should be able to make money as Alumni can since "WSU semces are available to all of our students rather than a select few." Direct from .

Openly defying men like Fidel Castro, Noriega, or Daniel Ortega (as a few examples), was easy for the .Amencan media and Presidential speech writers to do. However it tends to get consistently more dtftlcult for us to befriend world leaders when they walk that fine line between dictatorship and democracy. The removal of Ferdinand Marcos from the Ph1111pines is only one example where a strong message was sent by the U.S. State Department-run your countcy your way, but don't forget where the gravy comes from. A friendly reminder from your neighbourhood CIA. For years, the American and Western governments kept Saddam Hussein 1n what nught appropriately be called the 'good boy' closet. We never wanted to actually call him a close friend, but nine years ago when he boldy stepped across the border in Iran to claim a small piece of land, the West breathed a sigh of relief that som~one was teaching those wicked hostage-takers a lesson. Supplying Iraq with weapons and satellite intelligence wasn't enough-they also let Iraq grow into a formidable power in the Middle East. Now, when Iraq makes peace with Iran (sort of) and steps into Kuwait to claim another disputed chunk ofland (to pay off accumulated war debts), the U.S. and other Western allies are left with mud on their face. There is no doubt that what Saddam Hussein did epitomizes the ruthlessness of a war•monger dictator. but now we sort of look like hypocrites also. It just proves the old adage "superpowers have interests have-not friends." After eight years of fighting With Iran. using Soviet and American Weaponry, spending all of the countcy's oil money, and causing countless deaths, Hussein basically gave the land back to Iran in a hastily negotiated peace settlement. He had bigger fish to fry. Saddam Hussein is now the biggest single threat to American oil 1n , the region. Defending the Saudi Royal family ts not only defending individual lives. but defending a steady stream of reliable energy to the West If you're looking for a prediction as to whether war will break out, then ·yes, it will .. Iraq has one million people_ready and poised for war. Toe United States is the backbone of one of , the largest peace-time troop buildups. With increased tension in the Middle East already, growing pan-Arab support, and the cooling days of winter approaching. it will cease to be a standoff, and Iraq will come out the loser. The United States will go home breathing a little easier: and maybe they will be more choosy about how they treat their 'friends' in the rest of the world. As for the Middle East? Well maybe Democracy might get there yet, but that's another story. Painting The Politics Green - Paipttng the Pgyµcs green It is. beyond doubt that the environment needs to be carefully assessed and it's use strictly monitored. The depletion of the natural resources worldwide at a scale never witnessed before in human histocy is a fact: leaving behind the task of determining the extent of damage done, and what remedies can be offered for a more sympathetic and caring exploitation of the environment. However, before we Jump blindly onto the "protect our envtronmenr campaign and in order to control the use and abuse of the environment, we need to first understand the reasons and the dypamtcs which have so far governed this exploitation, otherwise, the radical policies that are formulated to tackle the environment issue, mostly in the industrtalized countries- but presumed suitable worldwide, threaten to stagnate (if not reverse) economic growth and development in areas most in need of growth and development- the weak and poor nations who constitute the developing world. Toe environmentalists have proven that the "greenhouse effect" will make the earth warmer in decades to come. For example, the Northern European cllinate will resemble that of the Mediterranean and there will be an increase in deserttllcation in many parts of the world: areas which include the Sahel and the American Mid-West. The main culprit of global warming is carbon dioxide. A vigorous campaign agatnst this compound has been launched 1n Western Europe, from discouraging the construction of thermal power stations and banning timber trade (large forests will consume, among other things, the excess carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, or so it is believe~i). Policies are churn~ out :µitck and fast. Some of the methods of limiting the emissions of carbon dioxlde are improvement in the production method, reduction in harmful wastes, making better quality products, using the raw materials more effiCiently and substituting . natural inputs with synthetic materials iu.ve all been part of the evolutionary process in the West's industrial development. Further, the use of nuclear power to generate electricity because it ts atmospherically clean (no carbon dioxide emission) ts another alternative. This step will benefit the industrial1zed nations as it will improve the quality of life, and matntain/preseive to a better degree, • than has been the case in the past, the natural environment 1n the rest of the world. On the other hand, Green Politics neglects the right of the third world, people who depend on the enytronment to generate much-needed wealth for their economies. Further. these poorer nations depend on the aids and grants from industrialized nations, who in the bargain tap poorer nation's natural resources•for their own benefit. There are issues such as the rate at which the rainforest is cleared, or the amount of toxic material that is used in agriculture and that which pollutes the rivers and lakes at an alarming rate. These poorer nations do not realize that in the long run it will damage their natural environment. Recent examples of the damages are: Bhopal (poor industrial safety). Chernobyl and Three Mile Island (nuclear accidents). Western Europe (acid rain), Alaska and Morocco (oil spills) and Bombay, Cairo and Mexico City (smog). In conclusion, the technology and expertise used by the third world to generate hydro power, and in the manufactµrtng sector. ts vecy prtm1tive and emit ample carbon dioxide and CFCs into the atmosphere. To replace these primitive tools 1s very expansive and too costly. Further, these nations look up to industrialized nations for aids and grants to develop their industrial sectors, and-these rich nations take advantage of this opportunity. Hence, all in all, the environment needs to be looked after. But if it is done so on terms and conditions set out by the industrial· 1zed world, then it ts the poor nations that look after these policies.

M5V 2S!I ·_£, • , r " ,,, .·· STNA0-23 PRESIDENT'S REPORT September 27, 1990 .The Great Administr a U ve Director Debate.Last year as a result of a report issued by a LUSU AD HOC committee on how to restructure the Student Union, LUSU created a new staff position called the Administrative Director (A.O.), with a salary range of between $37,500 and $42,000. This May, the summer executive reassessed the position to see if it was worth the expense and was necessary since there are now three full_time executives. It was our coilclusion that the needs identified as not being met by the Student Union's current organizational structure _could be addressed without hiring another full time staff member. This was done by hiring on a part time basis, consultants to oversee certain aspects of LUSU operations. These include a construction expert to ensure the students interests in the construction of the Student Centre, a team of consultants to review the proposed management agreement between LUSU and the Board of Governors of the University. We also have people looking at the long term fiscal picture - of the Student Union and will be developing a ftve year business plan for LUSU. Experts in the hospitality field are looking at the restaurant operation of the new events hall and wmdevelop operating manuals. Cun:ently, the Student Union has a business manager, pay clerk, events programmer /bar manager, assistant bar · manager as well as five supervisory personnel in the Study. Even though the new events hall will be a much larger operation than we currently run, we have the operating procedures in place to accommodate the increase in staffing and revenue. New computer equipment was installed in the Study this year with the express purpose that staff would be fully trained on it by the time the Student Centre was ready to open. There will also be a Kitchen Manager to run the restaurant.What then is the administrative director to do? This was the problem that we had this summer when it came time to actually go out and hire someone for a job we felt was redundant and a waste of money. The total bill for all the consulting work to be done this year is in the neighbourhood of $10,000. Some people on campus and on the -Board of Directors would have us spend $42,000 a year, IN PERPETIJITY, for jobs already accomplished. The AD. was thought to be able to develop the long range financing of the Student Union. The business plan and our current Business Manager are already doing . this. Furthermore, how is one person to address all the aspects of LUSU? We need a Construction Engineer to oversee the building, we need kitchen experts to help in the purchasing of equipment for the main events hall, we need business people to develop a long range -business plan. We did actually go out and advertize the A.O. position, none of the applicants were able to offer the qualities that were needed. Some peo le wanted the A.O. to make policy decisions. Policy decisions are made by elected representatives of the Board of Directors and the executive. In my opinion, all policy decisions must remain in the hands of demoeratically elected individuals if LUSU is to be accountable to its membership. The money that would have been spent on the AD. can go towards offering better services to the student body. We need more photocopiers, we could use student accessible word processors so essays and reports could be typed, replace the old typewriters under the Ubrary, offer legal advise to students, make the Ombudspersons office full time, more speakers on campus, more alternative programming etc.In the I next two weeks the Board of Directors_will be again looking at the A.O. I stand by the decision of the executive this summer to not hire and A.O. We must remember that LUSU is here to offer services and this cannot be done if too high a percentage of our revenue is use to pay staff.In conclusion the decision not to hire an Administrative Director is supported by our auditors, L.U. Administration and our present staff. �No Nukes At U. of Sask. SASKATOON (CUP) The University of Saskatchewan should quash plans to buy a controversial ten-megawatt nuclear reactor, according to a local citizen's coalition. Using a recent report critical of a two-megawatt nuclear reactor in Piniwa, Manitoba, the Pokebusters Citizen's Coalition has intenslfied its campaign to stop U of S from buying the reactor. The Atomic Energy Control Board (AECB) has said Piniwa's two-megawatt reactor is unsafe because of improper waste manage-ment, inadequate testing procedures, and a general lack of quality assurance in the design. Pokebusters ofilcfal Tom Ermondi said if the twomegawatt reactor can't be operated safely neither can Bye Bye Tuition By Helen Wuortnen the larger one being considered by U of S. "The U of S board of governors should reject th~ Slowpoke outright," Ermondi said. "The Atomic Energy Control Board's document is enough proof. "Hidden dangers within the Slowpoke reactor would pose wmecessary risks to thousands of'" university students and the surrounding community," he said. But Metro Dmytrtw of AECB said those who are afraid of the reactor "don't understand the technology." . When asked about :=the safety concerns, Dmytrtw Said an environmental impact assessment would be conducted under provincial and federal government guidelines. The university's board of governors is expected to make a decision on the issue by November. The Ontario Confederation of University Faculty Associations (OCUFA) which represents Ontario's 12,000, professors, passed a statenient calling for a decrease in the level of tuition fees. This decrease would involve a policy, which over a period of time would see the complete eJJmination of fees altogether. Such an elimination would also affect international students. As well as leading to improvements in the Ontario Student Assistance Program. In the policy statement, one of the main goals is to attract students who are currently unable to afford the present cost of tuition. 'The statement was issued tn response to a rise tn publJc attention to the higher cost of university, spec1fically a proposed plap by one Canadian University to steadily • increase their fees. An ofilclal at Queen's University proposed yearly Canada's ·N ative Obligations <YITAWA (CUP) - I f the problems facing Canada's native people are to be resolved, Canadians must first recognize and address their moral obUgations to the First Nations. 1bat was the message about 350 students heard at a Sept. 12 open fprum on aboriginal self-government at Carleton University. In a speech repeatedly interrupted by applause. Ovide Mercredi. the deputy regional chief for the Manitoba Assembly of.First Nations, argued that the problem of aboriginal sovereignty is not a legal or constitutional Issue, but rather a moral and political one. "When did the indigenous peoples surrender the I1ght to govern themselves?_ Where in our history is the paper that tells us so?" he demanded. Native collective and individual rights to freedom rights enjoyed by other Canadians are being suppressed, Mercredi said. And Canadians have no right to tell natlves how to conduct Indian affairs, he maintained. Appealing to governments and the Canadian public to abolish their double social standards and share political and eco- nomic power, the Manitoba chief called for a just and more equitable allocation of resources. "There can be no law and order without justice," he said. In a spirit of cooperation and friendship, Mercredi appealed for a greater understanding and tolerance for native people. He also called for the opportunity for natives to address issues in accordance with their traditional values and institutions. American native leader Russel Means told students about current relations between natives and the U.S. government. In that country. there is a structure of tribal police and courts that 'work in conjunction with local. state and increases of 125 dollars in tuition costs in early 1989. 111.is directly led to the striking up of a committee to study the issue of fees at the June 1989 meeting of the OCUFA Board of Directors. As a result of this committee a policy statement to slowly do away with tuition fees was passed on September 14, 1990. The following are a list of what the policy expects from the Government: Differentlal fees for international students were to be cut out and tuition fees were to be reduced, at the same time as fees for Ontacto students were. Financial aid to international students from nations less prosperous than Canada was another proposal made by the directors. The implementation of a review of the Ontario Student Assistance Program, allowing for more flexibility in parental contributions, reviewing the definitions of the dependent/independent student categories and to g).ve more assistance to post graduate students. Dr. Bob Rosehart, President of Lakehead University said that "... tfthe :new government decided on a long term strategy that would like to see tuition fe<ts ellmmated, I don·t have any trouble supporting it ... Any long term plan would have to involve an increase in funding from elsewhere -more than likely, further govenm1ent subsid1es. Currently, the provincial government picks up around eighty percent of the average student's education, .while the international student pays the entire cost. Whether or not OCUFA's recommendations are put into place by the newly elected government, sun remains to be seen. Unfortunately, the Lakehead representative of OCUFA could not be reached for comment at this time. FIRE DOOR FEAR federal authorities, he said. The Canadian government's refusal to negotiate towards this type of sovereign structure is a disgrace, Means said. "Canada has been embarrassed before the world. Its treatment of Native people Is being internationally compared to oppression in Israel and South Africa," he said. Natlve political and legal stability is a prerequisite for economic development. Means said. The present situation between natives and the- U.S. government was carved by acts of violence. he said, adding that he hoped native and nonnative violence can be avoided in Canada. TORONTO (CUP) - A newly-installed security system in a University of Toronto building has raised concerns among students about fire safety. Electronic locks on the building's doors are supposed to automatically unlock in the event of a fire, but students fear the system may break down and people could be locked inside the buil,ding in an emergency. Alan Rosenthal a graduate computer science student, said he is concerned about the new locks."Anytime ther~ are electronic systems there are usually complications or electrQnic failure," he said. After inspecting the building recently, Ron Lewis, the U of Ts chief fire prevention officer, said the fears are we11-founded. "There is a remote possibility that during a fire ,a larm when people try to leave, the button (to unlock the door) could fail," he Said. "You could in some circumstances be trapped." But, he- said, U of T is dealing with the issue. "The university has gone to the project architect to try and find some solution to this problem, because we can't live with it."

It is the fictional account of a small group of friends in New York City in the 80's and how their lives are changed by the appearance of a mysterious and devastating new disease, Aids. To handle such a heavy subject at an entertaining as well as an informative level, demands a delicate balance in its treatment. This film, written by Craig Lucas and directed by Norman Rene, meets the challenge. The film first and foremost is a celebration of life and this is where its strength lies.

GET ROOTED.! .. . ................ .... . �ByDfaneMUls Wild At Heart All references to this movie include David Lynch's name. The characters are merely the means through which the director Lynch tries to shock the viewers. Nicolas Cage plays a guy named Sailor Ripley, believe It or not, but looks, talks and even sings like Elvis. Sailor's girl Lula, played by Laura Demand her mother played by Diane Ladd, are walldng lipstick and nail polish ads. The other stars are there to partake in bizzare sub-plots which attempt to distract the viewers into thinking that things are , actually suppose to make sense. / Incidental actors appear from nowhere, blurt out statements laced with philosophical theories, ask questions contaftllng 7 digit numbers and sometimes only gesture. Lynch uses Lula's memories and eclectic thoughts to draw current issues such as rape, abortion, alcholism and the environment into the picture. In one of the many bedroom scenes Lula expresses her concern for the depleting 07.0ne layer, fearing that one day we'll wake up and it will be gone. Sailor dismisses her wony by stating that •they'll be sending Buicks to the moon by then.· Yes, this movie is violent. Within the first five minutes, an occipi~ lobe oous onto a carpet. The gore along the yellow brick road happens only in flashes and ts easy to digest. Sex scenes repeat. Actors smoke too much. Perhaps the constant smoking, besides being the excuse to demonstrate a 'match trick' visual effect, ts a way to taunt smokers in the smoke-free theatre. (Viewers may notice that Lula's puffs often produce clear exhales.) Wh,t some have referred to as ·b1zzare references to the Wtmrd of 0z• are really not so strange. We have all seen that classic. we know its plot. By interjecting this familiarity, Lynch can create all the aberrations his wild little heart desires, and the audience will follow. • .A View On Aids By Vince Ponka What thoughts run through your mind when you think of someone living with AIDS?Whatdo you feel? Anger? Resentment?_Fear? A short time ago I met a fellow by the name of Jim. Now Jim's the sort of person everyone would like to know. He's friendly, talkative, and an awfully nice guy. The thing is, Jim has AIDS. He was diagnosed sfx months ago. Unfortunately, that ls enough to scare most people away from Jim, and others like him who have tested IDV+. (Human Immunodeficiency Virus- the virus believed to cause AIDS) If a friend, or anyone in our society were to be diagnosed as having leukaemia, no one would say that the person deseived the cancer, or that they must have been leading unnatural lives and that this is their punishment. Then why ts it that these things are said about AIDS? Why ts there such a mortal fear of this~? One must remember that people living with AIDS are doing just that. They are trying to cope and accept the fact that they are l1v1ng with a disease that will probably kill them. •1 do have an illness to which there is no cure and thus far ts fatal, • Jim said. "'lbere is a certain amount of fear here. The question, although challenging, is of benefit to my mental well-being. I continue to accept.• AIDS is a disease that, through education and the practising of safe sex, can be prevented. People should not fear coming into contact with those who are living with AIDS. Society must learn to overcome Its fears and come to the real1mtlon that AIDS Is not a divine act of retaliation, some great super-natural act of vengeance, or something that ts deseived in anyway, shape or form. It ts a disease, apd those trying to live with it should not have to remain behind closed doors for fear of some sort of retaliation. It's Important to become educated about this disease. Learn about it, talk about It, but do not do nothing. •1 believe my life has a purpose: I'm not sure what It ts. I possess fear but I'm not controlled by it. I swvtve, that's what I do best.

U., I have what should be good news. You know who you are-the underage Lakehead students who pay full LUSU fees but cannot attend LUSU funded programs like the Northern Pikes concert. Meanwhile, Hany Brtckhead can gain admission by "I want to see a lot more non-alcoholic events." LUSU Pres. Ian Middleton springing for an extra two dollars that he probably extQrted froin an 18 year old student who was . caught trying to forge his I.D. Granted, the Street Dance was for-.all ages, but based on last year's precedent of restricted entrance to 5440, the Tragically Hip, Blue Rodeo, etc., extending to the game showTestPattern, the problem had to be addressed. So I stopped by the LUSU •office to test Ian Middleton's open door policy. As soon as we sat down in the Study, Middleton proclaimed "I want to see a lot more nonalcohol events." This was before I even asked him the question. Can this man read minds or do I really look that young? According to our LUSU connection (who does not wish to remain anonymous), we can expect more events held under a two Caf-system. Alcohol in one room, and the band in the other. In Ian's words it is "more expensive, but necessary to serve this section [under 19) of the student population." There you have it young ones, a quotation to nail Mr. President to the wall with should the need artse sometime this year. Fortunately, this entire inconvenience should be resolved next year if the Dining Room licence being applied for concerning the soon to be erect Student Centre is approved. This will allow the studentry to mix freely at most events held at the centre, regardless of age.

SOLLY& KAINULAINEN 1st in X-Country Opener in Duluth the rest of the pack and finished almost a minute and a half ahead of 2nd place finisher Dianna Loson of UMD. Kainulainen's time of 18:51.2 was .a course record for the 5km distance. Coach Ian Newhouse was happy with his team's per_formance, noting Kainulainen, Solly. and Hay wil! be turning a few heads if they can reproduce these efforts in 6 weeks' time at the conference championships. Post Script: Afterjust one day of recovery L. U. runners continued to shine in Sunday's Heart of Thunder Bay Races. Johnathon Solly captured 1st in the 5 K. event while Sue Katnulainen earned top spot in the women's half marathon. Although Mike Hay couldn't keep pace with his brother Darrell in the men's half marathon, he did finish a respectable 4th. Lakehead's Robyn Agar ran to victory in the women's 5 K event. by Ellen Longboat by Anthony Hewitt _ Scholarships solely for athletic •achievement are not available in Ontario. The CIAU has set down in its guidelines a provision to allow first party athletic awards provided after one year of residency to a value of $1500.00. In, Q.gtario the OUAA reject the CIAU policy on purely athletic awards. On the other hand GPAC, Canada West, and Atlantic and Q~ebec Universities allow the CIAU policy to be used. • The OUAA policy reflects the ideal that,JVe are an academic facility first, and foremost. The few awards that are related to sport aspects are Judged first on academic achievement then the athletic component. The guidelines for awards in the OUAA set out the following criteria: 1) (The student) be open to any sport 2) The athletic dept. 1s excluded from the selection process 3) Recipient beyond their first year 4) Outstanding academic achievement 6) Award not to exceed $1000 6) Administered and selected by the University awards office 7) University senate approved 8) Awards updated with OUAA executive officer and distributed OUAA members 9) Judicial committee can suspend or place on probation sports or university violating this guideline 10) Awards reviewed and ratified by OUM awards committee and legislative council What does this mean for a small school like Lakehead when recruiting some big . name athletes? Clyde Tuyl, Lakehead's athletic coordinator doesn't see the absence of sports scholarships as degenerative to our sports programs. "Our coaches do a significant amount of recruiting to keep us competitive ...but dollars and cents are not a big issue." Tuyl says that they sell the things that are unique to Lakehead, -rhe fact that it 1s a small school, with very unique academic programs, that 1s forestry, business, education and so on." The small school population is a 9ig selling point stressed Tuyl, "The chance for quality education that may not be available in other schools, and the chance to play a sport in a school with such tremendous student support 1s very appealing." The OUM policy reflects more the fact that the larger schools have no use for monetary incentives to attract players. Schools with large student populations have a lot of interschpol competition for their teams, and bringing in outside talent is seldom needed whereas the smaller schools just have to work harder to attract the student athletes. "I wouldn't call the process unfair (no athletic incentives) but it does make it more difficult. It would be nice to have an athletic scholarship concept but at the same time we have to recognize that first and foremost we are an academic institution and athletics c·a n play an important role in the education process. Even if an athletic scholarship were available it is still incumbent upon any institution to recruit people with enough academic ability to complete their degree." "A one or two year wonder will not do a lot to develop a program... we want the students to stay from three to five· years and finish their degree." The problem of Canad.tan "athlete drain" to the U.S. is something that Antlwnyfelt he did not have the resources to cover in this article. How many of our top athletes are lost to the lures of glittering sclwlarshtps, signing bonuses and attractive perks offered by the relatively wuestricted recru.ittng policies of universities and colleges sou.th of the border is dYJicult to even imagine. This is where the real problem with CIAU and OUAA policy lies. - Sp.

My husband died almost a year ago and since his death my daughter has become very religious. Our family ls not at all religtous, .but we did have a. church funeral. She has become very quiet and wishes to be alone most times. She gets angry at me when I try to discourage her religious Interests but I don't think this ls healthy. What can I do to get my daughter back? A worried mother. Dear Worried, The death of a loved one is considered a major life stress. Your daughter may be feeling a sense of powerlessness in that she can't do anything to bring him back. She may even think her father has in some way abandoned her and left her all alone. Your daughter's interest in religious concepts could be.of comfort for her because it allows the idea oflife after death. Discouraging i:eligion may be more harmful than beneficial at this time. She may be holding on to her father through religion. You need to help your daughter work through the reality of the loss. Explore her feelings and share yours with her. Your focus should be on discouraging her isolation and quietness. Don't be afraid of reaching out to her. Annie , DearADnle, I am aflrst year off-campus student and I am having problems meeting people. I am from a small town where everyone knows each other. Believe it or not. Thunder Bay ls a , big city. I am lonely, a little scared. and I want to make friends. Siped,LSA ·.9Lnnie 1) Get into relaxation.

Annie Dear Annie, I have a friend that would like to ask you something but doesn't want to walk into the Argus office and hand it to someone. I would have asked for her but she won't even tell me what her problem is. I just put this ID the Argus mailbox:, but ls there another way so that nobody (even the Argus staff) will see her handing in a question. A friend. Dear "Frtend" and her friend, One simple way is to drop off your question in the Argus mailbox, or slide it under the Argus door. Hey, submit it after hours if you want. ~perchance the Argus staff does see you, remember that these individuals are journalists, and journalists never reveal their sources. P.S. Make sure you address your question/envelope to Annie Analyst to ensure safe delivery. Annie DearLSA. It is difficult moving to a new city, especially if all the faces are new to you. The important thing is to just be yourself. Attending social functions in which you are interested or joining LU clubs will place you i:h the perfect spot to meet people with similar interests. In an academic setting, sitting beside a fellow classmate and initiating ,.. conversations may have added benefits. Take part in conversations, don't shy away from them. Annie DearADnle, I'm ID my last year and I've heard from reliable sources that ltls a very hectic year. I am terrlfled that I'll be stressed out by the end of the year.

Barb(not my real name) Dear Barb, DO NOTHING! It's not unusual for a student to have a crush on a professor(notice I said "crush"). You probably see your professor as very knowledgeable, and as a hJgh authority figure, making him all the more attractive (assuming he's attractive in the first place). Whether he's attractive or not, forget it. He's out of the question-off limitsforeign territory. A professor/ student relationship will only cause problems for both of you. There are loads of single male students all over campus, good looking ones too (or haven't you noticed yet). Annie. Page 13 Argus September 27, 1990 �HEALTH AVISION OF FITNESS Goal-Setting for Hea/th Achievement The most important part of developing a personal plan for physical fitness is knowing why you want to become more fit. As simple as that may sound, it is actually a critical aspect of a successful fitness plan. If your goal is weight loss, you'll approach fitness somewhat differently than if your goal is building strength and endurance. And, once you know why you want to become more fit, you can more easily determine what you can do to reach that goal. Set Long-Range Goals Be specific. Sit down with a paper and pencil and jot down exactly what you hope to accomplish by becoming more physically fit. Do you want to lose weight? If so, how much? Do you want to improve your endurance? If so, why? If you wish to improve specific skills (your bicycling, swimming, or golf game, for instance) state them. Knowing what you want in the long-run will help you tailor your program· to achieve your ends as well as motivate you to follow through with your "working" goals. Set Working Goals ff your long-range goal is to lose 15 pounds, start by setting short-range "working" goals-small steps that will help you reach your long-range wish. "Working" goals say what, how much, when, and how often you will do an activity to help you move toward your final goal. For instance, a working goal might be to attend a one-hour exercise class after work on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Each time you attend a class, you've met one working goal. If your ultimate goal is to increase the weight you can bench-press, your working goals wi!I center around progressively "overloading" your muscles to help build strength. A Glossary ofFitness Terms If you don't know your triceps from your biceps (and are afraid to ask), don't despair. The following explanation of fitness terms can have you talking like a pro in no time flat. Abdominals: The stomach muscles; those that run from the lower ribs to the hips.

Did you attend the LUBA Halloween Bash? If you did, I'm certain you had a great time. Everyone who attended put in a huge effort on all of their costumes. There were Drag Queens, Mice, Cats, Ghosts and Goblins. Also attending were MacTonites, Clowns and Vampires. To ward off some of these Vampires was Dr. Strange, the legendary comic strip character oflong ago who did battle with the evil blood.suckers. One of the outstanding clowns had a bit of trouble sitting down and often falling down and not being able to get back up . These falls were made somewhat soft by the amount of balloons that provided a vast amount of padding.

Great tunes provided by Thunder Bay's own HEB 160 added to the rowdy atmosphere. The crowd was enthusiastic and showed their appreciation by packing the dance floor. In between sets, party sound was provided. A few of these songs slowed things down for those who just wanted to get close.

Puttagunta Over 300 students braved rain and slush-filled streets to march from Victoriaville to Mini-Queen's Park last Monday. As part of a province-wide demonstration, students from Lakehead University, Confederation College, and local high schools were protesting underfunding and deregulation of tuition fees. Lorri Santa, Lakehead University Student Union VP External, explained that deregulation means colleges and universities can set tuition fees at their own rates. Currently, such institutions have to stay within 13% of what the government requires. Should deregulation occur, students may end up paying up to 3,000 a year in order to go to university. That would mean a 100% increase. The students want to suppress the idea of deregulation before it becomes policy. Santa said the students were also demonstrating in protest of underfunding, which has led to depletion of library resources, insuffici~nt university research and development funding, shortage of professors and a lack of required classroom space. the students that deregulation would be the end of a publicly funded system in Ontario in copying the American system. Such measures would hurt northern universities' attempts to balance the equality of opportunity. Six percent of the northern Ontario population has a university degree as compared to 9% in the rest of the province. In his concluding statements, Dr. Rosehart said: ".. .look at other countries we photo by Duncan try to compete with- Finland, Students march through city streets proclaiming the evils of Sweden, Japan and Germanyunderfunding. they h~ve almost zero tuition Escorted by police, the fees ..." Later, the students students marched down Arthur in education, asked: "When is Street wearing white LUSU this going to happen -in the marched part-way around the caps, carrying signs bearing year 3000?" office-and tried to get in but Dr. the messages ;Ne're the fuDr. E.R.

When interviewed later, Work student who, referring believe in !" to Premier David Peterson's Lakehead' University some of the students said they campaign promise for quality President Bob Rosehart told were not sure if they could " return to university if deregulation became policy. They said that they didn't think OSAP would cover the losses. Hendrik Lavertu claimed that , on a committee rep9rting to the Ontario Education Minister, 16outof19universi• ties voted for deregulation. When he contacted the Ontario Minister of Colleges and Universities, Lyn McLeod, it took him six months to get an appointment. He claims that even when he did get -to talk with her, she didn't accept responsibility for these issues. She also did not state what she intended to do about deregulation. Although deregulation is only in the proposal stage, the students want to act before it becomes policy in which case it coµld seriously hurt secondary education and the student body. As Lavertu stated," Lyn McLeod is listening to the universities down South and not to the people in her constituency. n The students are afraid of the devastating results that deregulation threatens. Harassment Abounds by George Krebs Educating the university community in dealing with sexual harassment does not contribute to the problem of harassment, but rather will bring forward the victims and help them to deal with the situation, according to Marilyn MacKenzie. MacKenzie, conducting a workshop on personal harassment at Lakehead University, said that administrators should not be "ashamed or humiliated" by the presence of a campus policy to deal with complaints of harassment. "It's not going to cause people to sexually harass, but it's simply going to give them (administration) a way of handling the situations that are out there," said MacKenzie, an Investigation Officer for Sexual Harassment Policy at the University of Manitoba. Her position, created in July of 1985, was the first of its kind. She had previously worked in Child Welfare and taught social work. MacKenzie indicat:ed that sexual harassment is quite prevalent, citing statistics showing that 50-90% of women in the workplace have been victims. In universities, a figure of 20-30% has been traditionally cited, but this only represents female students. MacKenzie conducted a survey of her own at U of Manitoba revealing a higher percentage of harassment victims that included complaints from faculty and support staff workers. MacKenzie's survey mailed out 1783 questionnaires and received 1208 replies, or a 68% response rate. Follow-ups were done to stress the importance ofthe survey and receive maximum input. MacKenzie said there is a theory behin~ the harassment of females on campus, explaining that female students in particular are a vulnerable group. Sexual harassment is usually committed by a person of authority and has forced students to change courses and alter their programs and futures to avoid the harasser. ''We're finding that more and more people are altering their life due to this kind of behaviour," said MacKenzie. "Power is the key component in sexual harassment cases." When asked about the number of sexual harassment complaints on the LU campus, Mackenzie could not give a specific figure but commented, "I know they're getting inquiries as we speak." Myrna Holman, Human Resources Officer at LU, said Sexual harassment complaints are occurring-"as we speak," said Marilyn MacKenzie (seated far right). 1 photo by Kristen DelZot "Power is the key component in sexual harassment cases." into rape," said MacKenzie. She also dismissed as . "garbage" the old excuses used to explain sexual harassment• 'boys will be boys' or 'men can't control their sexual urges.' "It's not women who are overreacting... we're not frigid, rigid women who don't have any sense of humour. We are people." LAKEHEAD UNIVERSITY PERSONAL HARASSMENT POLICY The Ontario Human Rights Code of 1981 defines harassment as a "course of comments or conduct consistthat no statistics are available ing of wol"ds or actions that concerning the prevalence of disparage or humiliate a persexual harassment on the LU son" and prohibits harassment campus because no records are on the basis of race, ancestry, kept.

Lakehead had the highest parficipation rate ofany University in On ario, an encouraging sign. Special thanks to Dr. Rosehart and Dr. Zimmermann ho support was most appreciated. And a round of applause for Lorri Santa an er hard working External Committee, without who the march would not hav en the success that is was. Congratulations. Many people said previous to the march, "What's the point?" "What will mar hing accomplish?" The point is that _without media attention we are ignored. The Ontario Federation of Students hammers away constantly at the govern ent on student issues and on behalf of individuals. Two weeks ago there was obby Session at Queen's Park. OFS representatives met with about 70 MPP's, o n individual basis from all three political parties. Yet during the three days o eetings not one question was asked in question period about student concerns. t took the spotlight of the media, focused on us becuase of the march, to have ou oncerns voiced in the legislature. COMPUTERS: INSTRUMENtS OF SATAN Many moons ago, in the age of iron swords and men, evil was prevelent. But then came the Reformation (not to mention Oral Roberts) and the evil was supressed. But we have now passed into a new and darker age: the age of the computer. For more than a decade now, computers have slowly and quietly found their way into our homes and our workplaces. Bit by bit (pardon the pun) they have infiltrated, passi_n g themselves as "friendly" and "fruitful". They have found a niche in society, fooling us with their passive nature. But let me tell you, they are passive no more! The computer revolution has started! Even in the Argus, files haved fouled up, disk drives have been degenerating and many a temper has flared. This is common all across the university. It seems that many people within ten feet of a computer hates them with a passion. A 'virus' in the system is not helping things much. Something is wrong with the computer population. How is Satan connected, you may ask? Well, the connotations·of "Apple" computers are obvious. And is it a coincidence that "IBM" also stands for InterBallis~ic Missile, another instrument of Satan? What about the new computers in the library. Could this be a sign of the growing evil? Another interesting phenomenon is people's irrational fear of computers (these are the people who have never yet used a computer and therefore cannot have any idea of the horror ahead of them). Com- ' puters don't bite; they may give you a shot of electricity through your body, bi:t they don't bite (again, pardon the pun). It must be some instinctive sense the person has that tells them to stay away from it. It is the evil within! What we accomplished was a firm statement from the government that we wil ot have a deregulation of tuition. Nevertheless, we still son't have a committ ent that tuition will not be raised. We must not let up the pressure. So how is LUSU doing these days? If you want to find out get off your *** an ome to a meeting.

The writer has the opinion that daycare and a double income are new concepts. He talks about the years before WWII and how no daycare was needed then, and how people were able to get by on one income. I don't know if the writer knows anyone who lived through those years, but I, being born, raised and educated in Europe, have a family who even served in WWI and who lived with a family •and children through the years before WWII. Those glorious_ years of soupkitchens, begging for some potatoes and having to trade your only winter coat for some cabbage to feed your children! I agree with the writer that we didn't need daycare then, simply because everybody was out of work, and money wasn't worth anything. He mentions that there were no daycare centres over 20 years ago and that families lasted a long time on one salary. Those years of the late fifties and early sixties have gone sown in history as the most prosperous of the 20th century. He ·moves on to ask the readers if" all of a sudden two incomes are needed. I wonder if this writer ever does grocery shopping? Prices in the stores are rising much faster than our salaries, and did he ever check out how much, for instance, children's clothing costs? On top of that, most people pay between $400 to $600 rent/mortgage a month. Does he not know how many men are laid off in the winter time, when heat, gas and hydrobills are 3 or 4 times as high as during other months? Does he know how many women are working to 'put their husbands through school' by working full-time while they also have children? Daycare is not a new concept. It is at least 25 to 30 years old and many studies have been done. Children are looked after by peo~le who are trained to do so. Children like to be with children, and learn from each other. Of course, there are goo.d and bad daycare centres, good and bad baby sitters and I agree that the best and most effective way of passing on your own values to your cliildren is to be with them all the time. I am sure that most parents would like it to be that way, but unfortunately that is not possible in many cases. The government could look into lengthening maternity leaves from 17 weeks to 1 or 2 years, for instance, which is done in other countries, that way a child would be with her/his parents for at least the first few years of her/his life, or by controlling the prices of the "first needs" and taxes, so that a second income would be a luxury, which it isn't in most cases. And then last night, at 3:30am while I was comforting my 8 month year old, I tried to remember how many hours during the night I have spent with her in the last few months. I am sure that 10 hours of sleep for a child is an unfulfilled wish for many parents. Finally, the writer wonders what the answer is, and "if we should move into the brave new world of daycare". I propose he, instead of using old cliches of 10 years ago, move into the brave new world of reality because it is my strong opinion that children are much, much better off than during the years before WWII. Unfortunately, it will never be ideal, but nowadays most families have not more than 2 or 3 children, and pare!}ts are able to give a lot more attention, than when families consisted of 6 or more children, which was normal some 30 to 50 years ago. Now, they are well cared for, well fed, well dressed and much loved. How about giving us some credit for trying so hard to give the best to our little ones, which every good parent wants for her/his child!

To LUBA Executive: Since when has the Bora Laskin building not been part of Lakehead University? Who have the education students been paying their tuition to? (Answer; Lakehead University). Don't you think its about time Lakehead University started including all students in social activities. Take for example the Hallowe'en Howl. No tickets were available to the Education Building and they were sold out on the first day of distribution. How does ·something like this happen? Where were the posters advertising the event? Education students are being blatantly ignored with regards to this matter. How are the education students supposed to attend such functions without knowledge of them? Please do something to rectify this situation before the Terminator Bash. Stop discriminating against educa- tion students NOW! Sincerely, Unable to Attend. STAiRGLIDES OF CONCERN To the Editor: In recent years Lakehead University has begun to take more notice of students who have a disability·on the campus. Last year saw the installment of four new stairglides. One is located in the Education Building, one in the Nursing Building, one in the Braun Building and the last and most important, in the Agora connecting the tunnel, the bookstore, the Agora, the pub and finally the Aesthstics Lounge. The latter stairglide is the one which this article is about. When the stairgJide is in use a flashing light and an al(Um accompanies its movement up or down the stairweJJ to provide for the safety of other ambulatory students. When the_stairglide is in motion, students are requested to use the other stairwells for their 'own safety. At present, there are very many studentys who do not heed this warning. Again I would lide to ask students to PLEASE MOVE!

You can divorce your spouse, total your car, say "no" to drugs, but you cannot stay away from that boiling brown beauty that French diplomat Tallyrand described as "black as the devil, hot as hell, pure as an angel, sweet as love." Yes, the nutritionists t.ell you • thatamugofthestuffcangiv~ you 290 mg of caffeine. 'I'he doctors tell you that it takes years from your life. But your brain tells you that if you don't get you daily dose, you are going to feel like someone just buried an axe in your head. Coffee is so cosmopolitan. You can make it out of milk or water. You can get it in all sorts of different flavours espresso, cappuccino, cafe au lait, Bavarian chocolate, and Dutch almond. Heck, add different alcohols to it and you have yourself-a new breed Irish coffee, Bailey's, B-52, Hawaiian, and Amaretto. Is this a choice or what! The origins of coffee can be traced back to Yemen circa 1000 AD. It spread with Islam to other regions. The Turks developed such a craze for it that they made a law in which a wife could divorce her husband for failing to keep the family pot full! Today, coffee provides a livelihood for over 25 million people. All fifty nations that export it rely on it as a major source of exchange. The largest exporters happen to be Brazil, Indonesia, and the Ivory Coast of Africa. Coffee has become a major, though unstable, source of exchange on the commodity markets. You can always tell that there has been a frost in Brazil, when you see brokers jumping out of windows at the Commodity Exchange in London. The phenomena of coffee has people dying over it- literally. In Uganda during the reign of Idi Amin, coffee smugglers who were caught were put to death. In El Salvador, the rich families who own the coffee fields are subject to terrorist threats, kidnapping, and sometimes murder. Do not worry; you are not alone in your infatuation with coffee. Voltaire was said to have drank 50 (count them - fifty) cups of coffee a day. Napoleon i:elied on it to stay awake at nights while he was laying down French civil law. Bach wrote the "Coffee Cantata" in dedication to the beverage. Frederick the Great had his coffee made with champagne rather than water. Now you can see the phenomena behind each cup of coffee that you hold in your hand. When you are reminded that coffee is a slow killer, remember the immortal words ofVoltaire: "I think it must be, for I've been drinking it for 65 years and am not dead yet!" Coming soon - CHOCOLATE! Campaign Launched Against Greenhouse Effect ,WASHINGTON (IPS via ISIS) -- Asserting that the greenhouse effect poses an unprecedented threat to humanity's survival, a massive, worldwide coalition of environmentalists, scientists, political parties, consumer groups and others announced October 12 the formation of the Global Greenhouse Network. At the conclusion of a three-day conference held here to discuss the economic, political, and social implications of the greenhouse crisis, 90 delegates from 35 nations issued a manifesto calling for radical changes in energy use, agricultural practices, food policy, and resource conservation. "The greenhouse crisis may be the most profound environmental threat humankind has faced," said Jeremy Rifkin, president of the U.S.based Foundation on Economic Trends, which sponsored the conference. "The Global Greenhouse · Network is the first step in creating a global political response to this unprecedented· crisis," he told a news conference. Delegates to the conference included officials of the Zimbabwe-based Environment and Development Agei:icy, the Brazil-based Rural Advancement Fund International, and the Geneva-based World Council of Churches. In addition, representatives ofthe Kenya-based Environmental Liaison Centre, the Sudan-based African Network of Non-Governmental Organisations, and the Malaysiabased Asia-Pacific People's Environmental Network were in attendance. According to some scientific predictions, if current industrial growth and fossil fuel use are not reduced over the next 50 years, the Earth could experience a temperature increase of four to 15 degrees Fahrenheit, which would be the largest jump in 18,000 years, said Rifkin. Such an eventuality could lead to a huge rise in the level of threat. the oceans, severely . . ening all coastal communities, as well as causing massive droughts in some areas, he said A significant increase in planetary temperature would also threaten the survivability of animal and plant life at the bottom of the food chain, thus endangering all species, added Rifkin. The new coalition issued a nine-point list of recommendations, including the "rapid transformation away from fossil fuel-based technologies and toward solar, wind, and other environment;ally-sound, renewable energy source." The network also called for a 20 per cent reduction in carbon dioxide emissions by the year 2000, and a 50 per cent reduction by 2030. Third World debt should be retired "as an incentive to conserve and replenish tropical forests," it said, noting that these forests play an important role in consuming carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. The group call for "carbon taxes and other environmental penalties targeting industrialised nations," since it is those countries that produce the vast..majority of the greenhouse gasses. • Proceeds from these taxes would b~ placed in an intergovernmental fund to assist in the necessary retooling of industrial infrastructures around the world, said the network. Governments should reject nuclear and genetic engineering and other ''high technology" responses to the greenhouse problem, it said. The network also called for the widespread use of energy efficiency and conservation in industrial and private sectors, as well as a change from "green revolution" agriculture -- based on petrochemical fertilizers that emit nitrous oxide -- into organicbased, ecologically-sound agriculture. The world's governments must also seek alternatives to chloroflourocarbons (CFCs) -used in aerosols, refrigerants and in some foam products -- as part of an effort to work toward an eventual ban on CFC production and use, said the coalition. In September 1987, 38 governments signed the Montreal Protocol which, if fully implemented, could reduce global CFC emissions by as much as 40 per cent by 2009. The network suggested the use of tax incentives and legislative initiatives to achieve several of the goals on its list. The greenhouse effect is a natural phenomenon whereby certain gasses in the atmosphere retain heat reflected off the Earth, providing the warmth needed to sustain life on the planet. But since the onset of the industrial revolution roughly a hundred years ago, humanity has intensified the greenhouse effect by introducing huge amounts of greenhouse gasses -- carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, CFCs, and methane -- into the atmosphere. ~ l:~ Build equity fu your future.

As years pass so do clothing styles and at present, the trend seems to be 9eading towards the more conservative and traditional tastes and in many cases very stylish also. Last Wednesday, your intrepid Argus reporter stepped into the STUDY in a very cautious manner not knowing what to expect. Was I going to see the return of the heel high skirt with bustle, or was it the year of the bell-bottom pants topped off with a stylish "Nehru" jacket with a yellow paisley print! Ack! Was there going to be a horde of diseased, anorexic, and under-nourished 16 year old models showing off the wares of major clothing designers? Little did I know that this would be a fashion preview ofthe upcoming Academy Awards show! Only time would tell! What I had assumed to be another fashion show for the preppy and trendy student, turned out to be a black tie type ev_ent. At one point that evening, rd swear to God, that I saw Frank Sinatra having a drink in the STUDY! At last, the age of glamour and elegance has returned. In keeping with the tradition at Lakehead, the show sterted fashionably late. There were problems with the lighting, the stage, and the sound, of course! But once the show started some of the problems were forgotten. The firat thing I noticed when the first of the fashions were displayed were the models w ~ the clothing. 'Ibey were not the regular run of the mill Too Hot for the Hothouse by Mike Moore When you read about an unknown band that bas made it in a huge way elsewher.e and has all the critics lining up to praise their talents, one tends to expect a great deal from them. At least I do. The band in question is HOTHOUSE FLOWERS. In the United Kingdom, tliis is one big band. Critics have said of the Dublin-based band:"...destined for success on a grand scale...•, "Dripping with sweat, enthusiasm and a certain Gaelic charm ...", "... instantly addictive ...", and "Absolutely magnificent". How can a band live up to such claims? HOTHOUSE FLOWERS can live up to this and much, much more. The first time I listened to their album, "People", I was hooked. Each song gripped me in a way that only a certain other Irish band can grip me. "Don't Go'', "If You Go", "Yes, I Was" and "Hallelujah Jordan'' are only some of the tremendous songs on this tape. Every song bursts with the enormous vocal energy created by the lead singer, Liam O'Maonlai. His voice is very much like Bruce Springsteen's, with a slight Gaelic lilt, making him sound a little bit like Bono as well "People" is a tremendous album and I can not say enough about the band. The have emerged from the thousands of bands in the music business to be known as a winnei:. They were even able to climb out of the shadow ofthe Joshua Tree to be an individual band and not simply '\he other band from Ireland". Buy this album as soon as possible!!! Stood up -by t~e Pikes by Rhonda McKay Can you believe it? The Northern Pikes cancelled their Thursday night concert here at L.U.. In fact, I think the engineers have already obliterated the t.ape. But then again, wouldn't you if you were only given a few days notice of the cancelation? Who would be bothered to hire the Northem Pikes after what after what they did to Lakehead University? .... There have been some rumours'' flying around that they c~ncelled because n_ot enough -tickets had been -sold. Another one was that the Northern Pikes cancelled just because we're "Thunder Bay". Neither of these theories are correct. Thunder Bay was not the only spot where the Northern 6 foot, 100 pound models that you see on the cover of Vogue or Elle. The models were women of all shapes and sizes, a true representation of the female fashion market. Most of the clothing on display had one certain theme which• was glamour and excitement associated with the night life in a 1arge urban environment (just like a Mich~ lob commercial .~.). Black was the colour of choice for the designer. Black velvet, black. spandex, black leather, black ... whatever! The point being that the designer wanted something more adventurous and mysterious for the modern woman. What impressed me·the most were the strapless evening dresses. Black, • of course, was the fabric colour of choice. Eye appealing and intriguing are only a few: words that can be used to describe that type of apparel. Gold and silver materials highlighted these dresses giving them a definite elegant flair and it seemed to bring out the confident side ofthe wearer, almost a form of cockiness! The appeal was lost for a moment when the mini-skirts were displaye~. I have no qualms about the mini's but they just didn't seem to fit into the type of atmosphere pres~ ent that night. The mini's did however have a profound effect on the crowd in the centre of the room! The clothing that was displayed was made locally at "Thredz Insted".

Our city shook with shrieks and howls as creatures stalked the night in search of the ultimate party. Halloween enables a person to live out his or her ultimate fantasy or personality with the aid of a creative costume. For those of you who attended the Halloween bash at the Inntowner, you'll agree that the human imagination is quite extraordinary. About 400 people attended the costume party Saturd~y, October 29, and by 10:30 pm the place was crawling with all kinds of inventive attire. Latecomers had to settle with standing room unless a sharp eye caught the luxu,rious sight - of an unoccupied chair. The rock band, Wild Child, kept the "ghouls and goblins" alive with a powerful, unified sound and three stage sets of favourite hits - Guns N Roses, The Cars, Stevie Nicks, The Cult, AC/DC, and more. Throughout their sets, the dance floor trembled under festive feet. The party atmosphere continqed between shows as the Inntowner's regular "rock DJ" blasted tunes accompanied by a large video screen suspended 'in front of the stage. The· newly-constructed, extended bar consis- tently accommodated hoards of "Party Animals" who joined in to celebrate the event. . Each costume was unique in its own way: There were traditional devils, punk rockers, ghouls and ghosts, and menin-drag, but in addition, Elviras, clergy and political characters delighted •the crowd. Even Frankenstein and his bride awoke form the depths to attend. This year the most popular garbs were inspired by the smash Broadway production of "Cats" which recently graced our Auditorium. Evidently, many "cats" spent careful hours applying makeup and creating outfits to resemble some of the play's characters. Some of the results were "purrrfect"! Of course, there was a contest to reward those for their imaginative outfits. Wild Child judged the contestants with the help of the audience. The "Sexi~st Costume" was warded to a punk rocker in drag, although the Elvira clone was also a favourite. For the "Funniest Costume" one nerd out of a group of four others was chosen. Some felt that the "Mad Hadder" should have been selected. He bad constructed a HUGE black top hat, complete with eye boles which encompassed most of his body. It seemed to be awkward to dance in and to fight through the Your Argus Gulde to What' Happening. On Campus, . Around Town, and in the BLUE ZONE this Weekend! Jeff Bradley Comedian-Juggler Main Cafe.

"Freddie Cruger" took the "Scariest Costume" prize, complete with gooey face and bladed fingers. Unfortunately, the crowd was not informed about what was enclosed in the winners' envelopes. It would have been nice to know what the winners received for their efforts. I was also disappointed that the staff of the Inn towner did not share in the spirit of the occasion. I realize that they had better things to do than to dress in some form of outrageous attire, but surely the Halloween Party events could have been arranged to enhance the night. Sometimes that "little something extra" leaves a more favourable impression. Overall, the friendly atmosphere i},t the Inntowner upheld the spirit of Halloween. Another costume party was held Monday night as both Prism and Wild Child took the stage. The crowd was e~pected to be smaller than Saturday night's perhaps due to door-to door trick-or treaters or other commitments. Now •as the excitement dies down and the snow begins to blanket the earth, we can look forward to rejoicing once more as the Christmas holidays are creeping towards us quickly. by Terrance Corry Direct from Lhasa via the Drepung Loseling Monastery, centuries of religion is coming to · Lakehead University on November 15.

The strangeness �Canadian Skaters Capture Gold by Janet Fuchek Last week the Thunder Bay community was treated to a • display of talent from the international figure skating circuit. The Sun Life Skate Canada International competition, held October 25-30, attracted sixtyfive athletes from thirteen countries. The Fort Wiliam and Thunder Bay Skating Clubs hosted this event, with activities transpiring at the Port Arthur Arena and Fort William Gardens. An opening ceremony conducted by the local skating clubs signified the formal start of the rivalries Thursday, October 27th. An exhibition held Sunday included a precision skating routine, with the closing ceremony afterwards. This event commended particular attention, since many of the skaters who have dominated the world scene have recently retired. It also marked the first opportunity in Canada to see the new original short program for singles skating, focusing on the artistic nature of the sport.· For each breathtaking challenge, spectators greeted the performers with loud applause and cheers. In front of such an appreciative crowd, Canadian athletes were motivated to achieve their best - winning two gold medals and a bronze. Kurt Browning thrilled onlookers with his dynamic routines to capture the men's singles' title over Victor Petrenko of the Soviet Union. He conquered ten others with his outstanding showmanship and skating abilities. Browning's original program consisted of a combination jump (triple ax.el; double loop), a flying spin and "death drop", and serpentine footwork. He finished his display with a double ax.el and combination spin, executed with finesse. Browning included elements of triple flips, axels, toes, and loops; triple salchow; and circular footwork to make his long program entertaining. He concluded this exhibition of merits with the Russian splits and a camel Browning was celebrated as the first person in history to successfully land a quadruple jump in international competition (World Championships, Budapest - 1988).

In men's basketball, John Laplante was named player of the month but he was unable to attend the ceremonies. Laplante was a key player in the Alumni match, leading the team with 36 points including seven 3 point field goals. Coach Bruno Colavecchia describes Laplante as one of the Nor'Westers' consecutive scorers, but a dislocated finger temporarily placed him on the sidelines.

The Nor'Westers embarked on their exhibition season , _ travelling to Sudbury to play the Laurentian Voyaguers in the annual battle for the Northem Ontario Championship and the Carliµg O'Keefe Trophy. This was a good test for the Nor'Westers, since the Voyaguers always field aggressive, competitive teams. Hampered by the loss of three key starters (Ed Collins, John Laplante, and Leslie Ragguette) to injury, theNor'Westersdropped two decisions 114-81 and 11476. In spite of the losses, the games gave Coach Colavecchia a very good opportunity to see his bench and rookie athletes perform in a game situation. These early season experiences and lessons learned will certainly pay dividends when the OUAA season commences in January. High scorers for Lakehead the first night were Doug Fenwick with 17 points, Jeff'Byerley with 14, and Brian Konu with 12. The second game high scorers were Brian Konu with 18, Jeff Byerley with 15, and Ray Foster with 10. - - �TurmoiI ,,- Pt,,,c"" (ttl,;,a) J1 Jl fi ,Jl <---: ~ CJ HUNOE.R 0AY:S BtAUTIFUL 0 GUN SHOP SANG S/H'f6, tau..

Some people, usually those who are very active remain thin in spite of the amount that they eat, while others put on weight even while they are watching what they eat and trying to cut down on caloric intake. There are many causes of obesity. In some cases heredity does play a part and there is and inherited tendency to obesity. In most cases, however, overeating and lack of exercise are the main causes. HOW TO LOSE WEIGHT You can usually lose weight by eating less and by increasing your physical activity. You should aim at losing about one pound per week. Too rapid a weight loss can make you feel tired, light headed and nauseated. Consider why you_want to lose weight. Keep a record of your eating habits -- the times you eat, what you eat, where and under what circumstances, what your This will give you some insight into what is influencing your eating behaviour. When you know and understand the circumstances surrounding your eating habits, then you can control your eating behaviour. Keep in mind, however, that changing behaviour is not easy and there is no quick solutions. Fad diets . are always popular because they usually promise quick and easy weight loss. However, they do NOT offer sound dietary advice and if weight loss occurs at all it is usually temporary. These food diets may indeed be harmful as your body tends to put on weight very fast when you stop using the diet. Remember that when it comes to .losing weighty in a healthy way, there are no short cuts or miracle methods. Your goal should be to control your eating behaviour and by doing so to lose weight. Exercise should become part of your daij.y routine._One of the best ways of getting regular exercise is walking - instead of taking the elevator, try climbing stairs. • Join. the weight wise clinic (WWC) at the student health services. Weigh in on Monday and Fridays and have your weight recorded. Keep your own personal record. You can pick up lots of resource material on losing weight. TIPS ., 1. Cut down on your food in- take. Eat low calorie foods instead of high calorie ones. 2. Increase your physical activity - do more walking. 3. Do NOT skip meals. 4. Change your eating habits and then you will be ab~e to maintain your weight loss. CORNER POCKET .p~'&ffi~~~ •REPOR'!!z_!lF.SUMES PHOTOCO~ •RATF.S i,l!A>OTIABLE 434 E.

The music continues, beckoning, until the buzz of a power tool breaks the spell. Welcome to Cornwall School. Cornwall is the new home to some 125 students enrolled in the Departments of Music and Visual Arts. School renovations ·began in the second week in August and will continue for at least another week. The new location was made available by the same ministry access fund which supplied the education portables. According to Dr. Glen Car• ruthers, Chairman of the Music Department, · the inadequate space availal>le to the fine arts disciplines at the university caused the departments involved to "jump at the pssibility of ~e move". The school is currently on a two.year lease from the Lakehead Board of Education. Carruthers said that he felt the response to the move to be very positive. 'We are amazed at ow- good fortune", he said. James DeVuono, President of the Lakehead University Music Association echoed Carruthers' feelings but also mentioned some of the "teething problems" involved-in the move. return to Cornwall after a full" day of classes is not a pleasant thought either. Said Mel Henderson, a third· year music student, "We feel it's too much to come back and forth for practice." However, practice time will no doubt be improved wit~ the installation of six new Wanger sound-proof cubicles on the main floor of the school. The problem of transportation affects students of both disciplines. Although the school is only a ten minute drive from the university, it becomes a pain for ,students who have to go back and forth for practice time and for elec•tives. For those students who have to rely on city transit, it =:!~,!,__ _ __;_!,__ __:,_ _ _ _ __.!;==::::.:::=::, becomes more of an inconvenience as the buses only come around every forty minutes jn .the morning. De Vuono also pointed to the off-campus status as having disadvantages "1 don't know if they. wanted to put us away from the mainstream",he joked. Efforts to promote awareness of the fine arts departments in the university community are surely weakened by the move. However, students may also interpret the move as an expression of the special status of their courses which require special needs. TOP: Renovator rises to the occasion.

Even the Argus manages to make newspapei copies available. What Cornwall lacks in terms of location, it more thar, makes up for in terms of spacE and equipment. The school itself provides two floors and e basement that have been adapted· to meet the needs oJ the fine arts students. The main floor houses the administrative offices, the student lounge,· the recital hall and the practice room. Upstairs are the classrooms which provide more than adequate space for the music and visual arts departments . Downstairs is the pottery room and the saw- room to construct stretchers and for sizing boards. Coinci_ding with the move was a $150,000 Northern Fund grant that has been split between the two departments. As a result, any new equipment installed has been top of the line. This includes the compact disk player· and visual arts viewers in the library. The library itself is currently in the process of being set up, complete with a terminal that will have access to the one on campus. Despite the growing pains, students seem generally pleased with the new location. M·a ckenzie's Crew to .be Fed by Nancy Adderley It is an irony that Alexander Mackenzie himself would appreciate. Northern Stores Incorporated, formerly of the Hudson's Bay Company, wiU provide $1/4 million in food to the voyageurs involved in the Alexander Mackenzie Bicentennial Expedition. The expedition is set to take place over the next five years and will trace the route, by canoe, taken by Mackenzie in his explorations to the Arctic Ocean and the Pacific Coast. Mackenzie was in the employ of the North West Company when he mad·e these voyages. Its rivalry with the Hudson's Bay Comp any coloured much of Canada's fur trade past. Northern Stores, having made the break with the Hudson's . Bay Company intends to Teassume the name of the North West Company, Mackenzie's employer. The $1/4 million pledge resulted from the National Sponsor's ·conference held September 25 at Old Fort William. Professor Jim Smithers, Expedition Leader, called the donation by Northern Stores a "substantial commitment" as it will furnish the necessary food items for all five years of the expedition. This summer, expedition participants planned a food menu that would supply them with the 5,000 calorie diet necessary to see them through the rigorous exercise of paddling the canoes. The food bas to be available on-the -run to 45 participants over 124 days. The historic diet of pemmican, partridge and berries has been replaced with GORP(Good Old Raisins and Peanuts), canned meat, and peanut butter. Aside from food sponsorship, the conference attracted a wide variety of other interests which Smithers said he hoped "will stimulate the interest that will translate into support." Not only did it showcase the student participants to possible supporters, it also gave the students a chance to see the "largeness of the project and the various interests involved." "It is sort of like eating an elephant, it is so big",he said. by the expedition will aid in establishing a historical commemorative trail on the route to the Pacific Coast. This would be the concrete legacy of the expedition. Government has been supportive. The Albertan Minis try of Culture and Multiculturalism bas committed $10,000 towards the first leg of the journey, 19881989, up the Mackenzie River. • Among the interests is that of the Alexander Mackenzie Trail Association. It hopes that the publicity generated Smithers also cites the Ontario government as being willing to show its generosity. .Lynn McLeod, our own mini- ster of Colleges and Universities has agreed to host an inter-departmental meeting of government officials to promote the project. Already the Ontario Ministry of Culture and Communications has put forward a $10,000 grant to assist in the making of the period costumes. Tourism and Recreation will aid in the costs of the modem materials required for the expedition. Th.e Superintendent of Curriculum from the city of London was also in attendance. He wishes to get his staff involved in the educational aspect of the project_in developing a national voyageur- curriculum to be taught in ~Canadian schools, as based on the information provided by the expedition. His staff will buy one of three canoes to be used in the expedition. Afterwards it will become a part of the educational program. Smithers hopes that even more interests will be represented as the expedition progresses. �Editorial President's Report An open letter to Lynn McLeod (Minister of Colleges & Universities) and the Right Honourable Premier David Peterson. Re: The Business of Education (or let's keep the student poor and stupid) Dear Sir/Madam: I've just received my OSAP assessment and.quite frankly, I'M LMD. You see, I just don't know where to start spending that $649 your government was so gracious to LEND ME! Perhaps it's the fact that I don't fit in to your government's neat little 3 or 4 year plan. This must be what you have in mind because after 4 years (whether I apply for assistance or not) I'm not eligible for grants. . Or maybe it's not the "grant eligibility" thing at all. You see, that doesn't really matter because the Student Awards Branch will tell me just what I need to borrow. I own a car? ... or a stereo system? ... or a camera? Or maybe my parents (if I'm "dependant") have a little nest egg they've been banking for retirement? Either I don't tell you about it or else they or I'll be forced to sell it to provide me with the necessary funds to educate myself. / The Need For Reciprocity The proposal by LUSU to share athletic facilities with Gonfederation College is a good plan 1Vhich should be followed with a lot of attentio'1. However, this plan should not be used as an excuse to avoid fixing the facilities already in existence. The:re have been a lot of complaints about the condition of the equipment in the weight room at the field house the past couple of years. It is the opinion of many students that the equipment is, in fact, quite unsafe. Coming from the portion of the population which leads one of the most haphazard of lives, this statement should not be taken lightly. The problem seems to be in the funding. The recently acquired hydraulic equipment is for the most part considered useless, even though quite a bit of LUSU money was used in this purchase. In other words, maybe this money could be directed at improving the materials which already exist. The answer to this for LUSU is reciprocity. This would mean that LU students could use the equipment at the coJlege at no charge and the college students could use ours. (Refer to story on page six.) Theref9re, we would have use of their indoor track and weight room etc. while they will use our swimming facilities. There is a problem, according to the manager of the college fitness centre, Larry Vezina, that there would not be enough room for the influx of LU students. Norm LaVoie, the director of Phys Ed and Athletics at LU states similar problems with booking space, etc. However, this shpuld not be too much of a problem. Theoretically, if reciprocity does happan, the number of people who use the facilities will not go up. Therefore, the same number of people should be using the facilities at the same time; the difference would be that in each location there will be a mixture of LU and Con College students. . Reciprocity is an issue which will take a while until it is resolved. Each institution will have to go through 1 a lengthy review and decision process and have to work out an agreement satisfactory to both sides. All this will take time. In the meantime, the Physical Education and Athletic department should take a look at the facilities and ,spend some money on improving the equipment. Maybe . LUSU can give some help both time-wise and financially to this end. As I mentioned before, reciprocity should not replace improvement. With a little time and effort, reciprocity will work. The important thing for LUSU and LU to keep in mind is that reciprocity should be an end in itself, not as a means of avoiding repairs on our own equipment.

That would really affect my assessment. Let's see ... $105 a week times 32 weeks ... that's roughly $3360. That ought ~ cover my expenses. God forbid I should enjoy a movie, a beer or even watch Tv.

However, I'll be provided with the necessary forms. Well maybe after reflecting on the whole matter, it's not really so much what I've mentioned that burns me. ~ • MayQ.e it's b'ecause you've had an "official" unveiling of the architectural model of the Student's Awards Branch, and you've had an "official" opening of the Students Awards Branch in Thunder Bay and that you will probably have an "official" opening of that $27 million complex (which by the way you originally pegged at $10 million) in Port Arthur when its built. Tell me something, which of these "openings" will be the "official" one? And maybe, Mr. Peterson, it's the fact that you and your cabinet were also gracious in "granting" Northern Ontario with your Northern Relocation Program.

They do not occur in isolated pockets somewhere far away. Even here in Thunder Bay, we are part of the global problems (and some would say we are also part of the solution). The gases released from our cars contribute to the Greenhouse Effect and deplete the ozone layer as much as the cars in Toronto, but it's easier to ignore the problem here because we rarely find ourselves stuck in a cloud of exhaust during a traffic jam. Not only is it difficult to relate our private lives to global environmental issues, but it is even more dificult for us to relate our lives here, in the land of never ending autumn rains, to Third World problems and issues, such as poverty, flooding, rain forest deforestation, ad infinitum. And yet, our lives are intricately connected with Third World development and the global environment. Our demand for exotic woods, coffee and cheap hamburgers is proportionate share of the world's natural resources. In fact, we use such a large proportion of the resources that the earth is already too small to sustain its human population, if everyone were to live a lifestyle equivalent to ours in Thunder Bay. These resources that we consume form a direct link between us and the developing countries. es_ contributing, in part, to the deforestation of tropical rain forests (you'll hear more about this in a later article). Hard as it may be for us to realize, the choices we make in our daily lives are reflected in the development of the Third World. In the fall of 1983,The United Nations established the World Commission on Environment and Development to examine and define the links between economics, development and the environment. After four intensive years of world-wide hearings, with input from thousands of people (scientists, research institute staff, experts, senior government officials and the average guy off the street or out of the jungle), the findings of this remarkable commission were published in the book "Our Common Future". The commission (also referred to as the Brundtland Commission after chairman, Gro Brundtland, Norway's female Prime Minister) stated in an incredibly straight-forward m~nner that we must find a way to live and to develop our global resources in a fashion which "meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future ·generations to meet their own needs." Makes perfect sense, doesn't it? This concept of living without jeopaTdizing future generations. was termed "sustainable development" by the Brundtland Commission. The concept of sustainable development is also a global concept. We must meet the basic needs of life for all people now and in the future (if that isn't global, then I don't know what is). The second point that the commission emphasizes is that the earth has finite resources, something else which we tend to ignore. We no longer live in an age where we can jump in a ship a~d sail off the edge of the known world and find ourselves in a pristine, resource wealthy environment, with which to replenish our flagging resources back home. The commission says that we must continue to develop and grow, but there must be a more equitable distribution of resources. We, in the in• dustrialized world, use a dis- Positive Action: The Brundtland Report states that "sustainable global development requires that those who are the most affluent adopt lifestyles within the planet's ecological means." This implies that we must become intelligent, discriminating consumers. We must consider the impact a purchase will have, not only on our own pocketbook, but more importantly on our global environment. Establishing this connection is rather complicated because it means that we must look beyond the product on the shelf to its origin, but it is worth the effort.

Saradhi Puttagunta's critique on the LUSU fall movie line-up, I feel I must let the student body know that this reporter has failed badly in his duties. First of all, "Good Morning Vietnam" was shown as part of LUSU's Orientation schedule. Because this schedule was filling up quite quickly, we had to show it on a week night. "As darkness descended on the UC Theatre last Wednesday, "Good Morning Vietnam" started playing to a huge crowd of ... oh, about thirty people." Not quite. Seventythree students and three nonstudents attended the first showing. I'll admit that's not a huge crowd, but I just wanted to get the facts straight. By the way, the second night's showing was to 124 students and 6 non-students. -Still not terrific, but we tried. Second: ''Why the change to weekday nights?" Who said we did!

I thought the newer flicks would draw a better crowd. sure, you may have already seen them this past summer, but for $1.60 why not see it again? lfit was a good movie, wouldn't you rent it for $1.99?! Fourth: Why the same titles over and over again? When I was ordering these movies, someone suggested getting "Lost Boys" again because it sells out every year. If you can't trust a student's honest judgement (quite a few students I might add) who can you trust? Fifth: I love the list of your favourite movies. If I asked each of the approximately 5000 students here to hand me a list of movies they would like to see, I can guarantee you that no two lists would be the same. You just can't please everyone. By the way, so far you are the only negative response to the movies I was entrusted to order. Many favourable comments have past these ears. Sixth: So you like the classics? Good. Can we then expect you at the special 50th anniversary showing of"Gone with the Wind"? It's showing in RB1042 on Saturday, Nov. 5 and Sunday, Nov. 6.

Randy said that he has talked to students about the idea and that "a lot of people are interested." At present, reduced rates are available for LU or ConCollege students using each other's facilities. However, there is a concern that LU should offer a wider choice and better quality of fitness facilities, so that students do not have to buy memberships elsewhere. be lacking at LU is art adequate weight room. Yozipovic, who is also a member of the Athletic Advisory Board, called weight room conditions "terrible'', citing a lack of space, old and sometimes broken equipment and unsafe conditions. Yozipovic said that money spent on hydraulic machines in 1987 (contributed by LUSU) should have been used to upgrade the old equipment. Yozipovic knows of many students who prefer to go to other gyms in the city, but students who cannot afford memberships elsewhere have no place else to go. ''Where would you go? They pay for it," he added. , The complaints against the .weight room are numerous: bench posts that are too close, lack of bars and plates, improper layout of plate holders, insufficient greasing of equipment, cluttered conditions, broken machines, thin and frayed benches. These conditions are not very conducive to weight training, as student Craig Hachey explained, "The atmosphere really helps you work out and affects your intensity - .(at LU) it's a tough environment to work out in." Hachey is prepared to buy a membership elsewhere. Roy Christensen, a fulltime student, is also looking to join a different gym. As Christensen pointed out, "It's n·o t a commercial type of equipment. You won't see in any commercial gym the kind of stuff they have here - this stuff isn't safe. The amount of use this gym gets, I think it warrants a lot more room." As for reciprocity, he felt it would be a "compromise" to getting better in-house facilities. Melissa Coates, a first year student, echoed the same concerns and said that LU's weight room is "one of the worst gyms there is." Sh~ also criticized the hydraulic gym as being "useless", saying that the money should have been spent on the major bodybuilding equipment rather than let its condition worsen. With reciprocity, Coates believes the college "would get all the business." David Newman and Dwight Winters were not impressed by the quality of LU's weight room either. They were unhappy with the "shoddy condition" of equipment and the new hydraulic machines that sit unused. Both agreed that reciprocity would be beneficial, giving LU students access to the college bubble, while college students can use LU's pool and basketball court. As Winters commented, it would be a "trade-off." Roxanne Kyle, a first year phys ed student, said that she was under the impression that LU and ConCollege already shared their facilities. Now she has chosen to buy a college membership, in order to use the greater variety of weights, the Nautilus room and the bubble. She supports the idea of reciprocity. Bill Keeler agreed that some of the weight room's equipment is outdated. The universal machine was broken for over four months this past summer and, due to its age, it was difficult to repair. Concerning the complaints about cramped quarters, Keeler said that LU's weight room is bigger than those at other universities he has seen. Keeler stated that the fieldhouse is looking to expand, but there is only so much money to go around. They are planning to add more free weights and there is a "possibility" of some new equipment. "An expansion is definitely something that's going to have to be looked at sooner or later," commented Keeler. The ideal solution, according to Norm LaVoie, would be a whole new building complete with an indoor track and arena, but as LaVoie said, "We're doing everything we can right now." Reciprocity would allow students to use the combined resources of LU and ConCollege: Olympic-size pool, gymnasium, indoor track and tennis courts, squash courts, Nautilus machines and weight rooms. Any plan to implement reciprocity would first have to deal with several problems. Larry Vezina, manager of the college fitness centre, said that the biggest problem would be the availability of space. His facilities, aside from student and faculty use, must accommodate another 2000 members in the community. Also, any agreement to share resources with LU would have to be "mutually beneficial" but Vezina added that reciprocity may become a reality in different areas. Norm LaVoie, director of phys ed and athletics at LU, stated that reciprocity would seem to be a "natural thing" between the two schools, noting that the fieldhouse is already "stretched to capacity." Seeing as how LaVoie and other personnel are new to their positions, there has not been any opportunity to consider the idea. Bill Keeler, supervisor of athletic facilities at LU, said that LU's needs would first have to be determined and program scheduling considered before accommodating other students. Presently, the fieldhouse is booked solid with varsity sports, clubs, phys ed classes intramurals, local groups .and highschools, ......:... as well as public members. Keeler also pointed out that a special committee would have to be set-up to budget for both facilities. ::.... ~Does he support --.. -=-~-~ reciprocity? "I think anything like that would be beneficial if it's feasible," he responded. Right now, the idea is sitting at the lower levels of dis• cussion between student councillors of LU and ConCollege.

Attention Foresters: "A Job From Hell" by Tim Stanl.ey (ISIS:The Gazette) If the terms "skreef', "duff' and ''highbalJ" ring a bell with you then are probably one of the growingnumber·· ofstudents who call treeplanting their summer job. Tree planting, though, is far more than just a summer job, as those who have experienced it will surely attest. The tree-planting industry in Canada relies extensively on university students to fill its planter and foreman positions. At a glance, the job seems well sui~d for students considering the start of the planting season coincides with the end of spring exams. The season usually lasts about 10 weeks, giving the planter a long summer break before classes resume. And these is a real potential for huge financial earnings. But planting is a risky venture in an unpredictable industry that sees as many horror stories as success stories. Most tree planting in Canada occurs in British Columbia and Northern Ontario. Under provincial reforestation laws, forestry-product companies must replant the areas of wood~ land that they cut within a certain time period. These companies generally contract to reforestation outfits to do the planting from them. Paying a specified price per tree planted. The contracts often run over a $100,000 and reforestation companies bid competitively to get them. Most planters in Ontario end up receiving from seven to 11 cents per tree depending on a variety of factors, including the species of tree and the type of land being planted. Planters in B.C. are usually paid more per tree because of the more rugged, mountainous terrain. The actual act of planting a tree into soil is a fairly simple task. The difficulty lies in the hundreds of job-related hazards that can confront the planter, making the process a slow and even brutal affair. On any given day the planter might be forced to cope with pleas3lltries like knee-deep swamp mud, ravenous blackflies or mosquitoes, extreme heat or cold, rain or snow, excruciating boredom, defective tools and, worst of all, a wet sleeping bag. The obvious question that confronts all planters at one time or another is "why am I doing this job from hell?" The general response from most planters centers around the truly unique and invaluable rewards and lessons that can be reaped from the ordeal. The main reason planting continues to attract students is definitely the money, but the intangible benefits should not be discounted. If trees planting is nothing else, it is an excellent exercise in self-actualization. Continued on page 12... �Health Care in ·the North By George Krebs , Health care in Northern Ontario, or rather the lack of it, is an issue that has caught the attentiati of the three political parties with Premier David Peterson coming under attack for failing to solve the. shortage of health care professionals. Health care conditions in the north were labelled as ''Third World" by a recent NDP task force studying the subject. In a move to play a greater role as a centre for training health care workers, Lakehead University has embarked on a joint venture with McMaster University of Hamilton to develop postgraduate degrees in occupational therapy and physical therapy., A number of students enrolled in occupational therapy or physical therapy at McM aster would come to Lakehead for one term of instruction in theory, as well as complete a clinical placement in a health care institution in Northwestern Ontario. Implementation of the programs is expected to be in 1990/91. The degree programs are the result of a -merger between Mohawk College's diploma courses in occupational therapy and physical therapy and McMaster's Bachelor of Health Sciences degree and would be based in McMaster's Faculty of Health Sciences. At first, Lakehead expects to accommodate thirty students per term and that number would increase as the programs grow in demand. Geoffrey Weller, V.P. Academics, hopes that when the programs are fully running, a new building might be built to house the necessary facilities. Lakehead Pre,s ident Bob Rosehart said that these programs are being "heralded as an example of models that might be used to other healthrelated fields." He added that medicine might be one.' • The fields of occupational and physical therapy have been singled out by the medical community as in need of expansion. A 1985 report by the Ontario Ministry of Health showed a manpower shortage in the two professions, especially in the north where the vacancy rate was cited as 42.2% and growing. Employment opportunities in both fields are increasing in Canada and the United States. Funding for the degree programs has yet to be resolved, but the Ontario Ministry of Colleges and Universities has already pledged its support. Regarding a future postgraduate medical program for LU, both Rosehart and Weller agreed that the possibilities are worth looking into., but such a McMASTER UNIVERSITY ' IN COOPERATION WITH ~ • /_887-t9S~. . program would be a "long way down the road."

Concordia University in Montreal offers a similar course. When the seven core library and information studies courses are combined with a Bachelor of Arts background, graduates are qualified to work in many types of libraries.

Saradhi Puttagunta, a contributing writer to the Argus, visited the Mandapam refugee camp • in southern India to interview Tamil refugees. The following is Saradhi's report on the war in Sri Lanka. P. Saradhi Puttagunta Subramanian Saraswathi is staying in a refugee camp at Mandapam, a small town which is about one hour by train out of Rameswaram, India. With tears in her eyes, she describes how the Sinhalese air force bombed her native city ofJaffna, capital of the Sri Lankan Northern province. Her story is repeated by Shiva Kumar, a worker in a Jaffna shop, who talks of property being destroyed by the bombings. Saraswathi also talks of tanks coming and firing into the villages. "The Sinhalese soldiers have no courage to face the people," she said. It was incidents like these that forced her and some 150,000 other Tamils to flee from the war in Sri Lanka. The Mandapam Transit Camp was set up in 1983 when •the escalation of the war caused an exodus of Tamils from the northern and eastern provinces of Sri Lanka, where they make up the majority of the popula. tion. They came across the Pamban Channel in private boats and were placed at Mandapam and other branch camps. To understand why they are here, one must look at the history of the war. Historical Background The Sinhalese-speaking Bud• dhists, who dominate Sri Lanka, have been 'in conflict with the minority Tamilspeaking Hindus long before the war began. The Tamil kings founded the ancient capital of Anuradhapura in the third century B.C. In 1621, the Portuguese captured tlte Tamil Kingdom of Jaffna and hung the Tamil -King Sankili. Eventually the island passed into the hands of the Dutch and then the_ British. After independence in February of 1948, the first Prime Minister, D.S. Senanayake, appealed to the Tamils to accept the new Soulbury Constitution and declared on behalf of the Sinhalese: "I give the minority communities the sincere assurance that no harm need you fear at our hand in Sri Lanka."* The Tamils accepted this promise only to have the tables turned on them. Tamils who worked on plantations· were stripped of their citizenship in 1948 and then disenfranchised in 1949 by the new Sinhala government. This was foJlowed by enforced regulations r'equiring proof of citizenship in 9rder to obtain employment in the public and private sectors, travel documents, licences and for participating in business OJ other .·Page·8-A'Fgus--'13' October;-1988 activities.

This is not without cost to the Indian government. Maintaining the camp costs approximately 3 lakhs (about $30,000 Canadian) every fortnight. .

The refugees at Mandapam said they were convinced that normalcy had returned to their country and they have accepted going back. But is it reaUy 'business as usual'in Sri Lanka? According to Indian news sources, Jaffna seems peaceful but the Tigers are still a powerful influence there.

Their music has spanned an entire generation. They were first heard 21 years ago when 'Days of Future Passed' was released. Songs such as 'Tuesday Afternoon' and 'Nights in White Satin' have become classics. By 1974, they were firmly established as a major musical power and so far, fifty million of their albums have been sold worldwide. It was with these premises in mind that I listened to their most recent offering - 'Sur La Mer'. It is by no means a poor album, at _times one can hear flashes of their former glory. However, one has to ask if the success of this album is just due to the momentum or the high quality of the work. The first song, 'I Know You're Out There Somewhere' is a fine song - it has a good ·sound and the lyrics are will though out, Justin Hayword's voice sounds as clear as it was in 1967 and the group's usage of synthesizers is super. · The entire album continues on in this manner without ever really straying off on a tangent. The album is extremely safe in that no one should really hate it but no one should really love it. Jon Anderson of the group Yes said that he feels that he could continue to write popular music well into his old age.

Eventually I gained a mental confidence by setting a goal for a number of trees I wanted to plant and then going out and achieving it," said planter Brian Swales. "I know I proved something to myself by planting. It's a challenge .to make as much money as you can. The kind of benefits you get fromtaking on a challenge can build character and self-·esteem. It's the hardest work I've ever done and it showed me what I'm capable of, mentally and physically," said Fraser Hore, who planted in. B.C. • Tree planting becomes a competition · among the planters. Sometimes putting in more trees than the rest of your crew becomes as important to you as the money you're earning. As a result, comparisons of good and bad planters will surface. This is a complicated issue. Due to the planter's reliance on quality planting land, efficient tree supply, adequate tools and a host of other factors beyond his or her control, it is often inappropriate to compare one planter to another in terms of volume of trees planted per day. The more useful question would be "what are the key qualities that good planters must possess?" Invariably, planters cite mental attitude and ability to concentrate above any other qualities that separate the good planters (highballers) from the rest. "It's easy to get distracted and let your mind wander in~ stead of focusing on the job at hand. You body can handle the physical strain but you have to push yourself mentally if you really want to make it worth your while," said Iain MacKinnon, a veteran tree planter. Hore simply puts it, "you must be tolerant of the bugs and adverse conditions and concentrate on planting trees." After a while most planters will tell you that planting is about 90 per cent mental. The problem many planters encounter is they've never has any experience that can adequately prepare them for that type of work. It's not unusual for companies to lose more than half of their planters before the contractis completed. "If you let the bugs bother you then you are defeating yourself. Accept the job for what it is, which is hell," laughs Swales. Tree planting companies will never be accused of discrimination. Some companies will take anyone crazy enough to spend two months in the bush. Women have taken to planting at increasing rates and are beginningto appear in executive and supervisory roles. Martha Turner, a second• year planter in Ontario, com• mented on particular disadvantages the female planter might face. ''Men and women are definitely equally competent in getting high numbers and good quality.

Ironically, in a discipline coined "the gentle way," it is Sandra Greaves' aggressiveness and strength that prevail. The Japanese art of judo combines throws, holddowns, locks, and chokes to score points in competition. This twenty-five year old athlete made her debut at the Thunder Bay Budokan Judo Club, which at the time met at the Confederation College Fitness Centre. Her sister Susan Oksanen introduced her to the sport at the age of thirteen. "I prefer judo because it's the actual application of the martial arts," Greaves stated to explain her fascination with judo. "In other styles, if techniques are actually applied, they can be fatal. The lack of fatality allows someone to throw. The philosophy of mutual welfare and benefit is appealing," she concluded. by Janet Fuchek ''.A single false move loses l l f Greaves continued her training under Coach Bill Doherty for several years.

She has been a member of the Ontario team ever since. To facilitate her program, she relocated in Montreal for a two-year stint at the Training Centre. Last season this talented fighter moved to Ottawa, a more suitable location for a female Olympic judoka. . "Ottawa has the largest nucleus ·o f women in , the sport," she reported. "The women's national coach, Tina Takahashi, also lives there." "It's hard to find a coach with a genuine interest in women that's not secondary," she continued. "It's good to work for someone with that commitment." In 1980 Greaves earned her black belt rank before a grading board in Toronto. She received her third dan in January 1988 on the basis of her tournament results and ability.

There's "A Single False Move Loses the Game" �( . Lady Nor'Westers Crowned Voll_ e yball Cham by Ron Murphy The Lakehead University Lady Nor'Westers flattened the Vermillion College Ironwomen to chip away, in a real nailbiter, at the Northland College Lumberjills. . On Saturday, October 8th, the Sanders Fieldhouse was electric with the prospect of atournament win for LU. That was something that had never been done before the hosting of the Nor'Wester Thanksgiving Invitational. The previous evening's action had seen the LU Nor'Westers defeat the Vermillion Ironwomen three games straight, only suffer a loss toNorth land. This occurred after they went the full five games of the match. Vermillion was unsu,ccessful in their second crack at Lakehead the following day in the semi-final, losing three straight again. It was the last. game of the final match and the score was tied at 10 each for the Nor'Westers and Lumberjills of Minnesota. The game had looked like an easy win for LU when Deanne Geisler, a veteran of last year's -squad, stepped to the line to lead off for seven quick points. Northland had used up both time outs but were able to come from behind to take the lead. After four rotations, the visiting team made it ten over nine. Coach Claude Lapre used up his two time outs in giving final advice to the LU squad. As a result, they were able to settle down for some head-tohead combat. To tie it at 10 all, Corinne Kollman was to be stopped at one point when hers and Geisler's serves were turned over by two in a row over-the-centre infractions by LU. Sian Williams, a two-year veteran of Carleton's varsity team, was able to trade points with the Lumberjills, bu Kelly Williams was stopped to make it 11 each. Robyn Plett, later to be announced as the tourney's "Most Valuable Player," stepped to the line to deliver the serves that the Nor'Westers would convert to a two-point lead. Northland retaliated with a point of their own to push their score to within one for a score of 13 over 12. Leslie Ballan, on the firing line, enabled Lakehead to make the final two points for the kill. After an outstanding performance, it was appropriate that Sian Williams rifled that last spike. The final score was 15 over 12 in favour of the Nor'- e Westers for match and tour- cl u::~~.._.,.,....._..,.. nament championship - § history in the making. ,::::i [Stay tuned.

Fourteen countries will be represented at this event, hosted by the Fort William and Thunder Bay Figure Skating Clubs, acting on behalf of the Canadian Figure Skating Association. Those countries include: the United States, Russia, Czechoslovakia, Great Britain, France, East and West Germany, Italy, Japan, Switzerland, Finland, Hungary, and Poland. In total, there will be 66 competitors in four fields: men's, women's, pair, and darice categories. Volunteers from the two local clubs, plus strong community involvement and regional support, ensure that this event will be enjoyable and extremely successful. The Clubs also draw on active participation from some 20 organizations throughout Northwestern Ontario. Amongst these, the Thunder Bay Multicultural Associal tion and the March of Dimes have expressed interest in helping. To date, 260 volunteers have signed up; however, .more are needed. A competition of this size and complexity must rely heavily on their invaluable volunteers. "People enjoy being involved in the community, especially in an event like this. The rewards from the involvement include gaining insight, experience and friendship. These people are our largest resource," says Sophie Kirk, Volunteers Chairman. .. .. .. ,. ., • .,..p, .... -- ... - -- · -- There are a variety of areas that might interest volunteers, such as: carpentry, electrical, mall promotions, transportation, catering, boutique, decorating, communications, office work, and the registration desk. According to·committee officials, the competition will not only be a pleasant experience for athletes but for the spectators as well. Richard Hill, Chairperson of Security, said that his team of 30 security personnel will be "quietly" in force. ' This volunteer staff is mostly comprised of students from the Law and Security courses at Confederation College who already have a keen sense of Jaw enforcement. To keep the atmosphere relaxed, security personnel will wear a coded I.D. tag rather than a uniform. Sun Life Skate Canada International representatives held their final preparation meeting at the Valhalla Inn recently. Thirty-five were in attendance, including CFSA members, Steering Commit'tee representatives, co-ordinators, and chairpersons of the event. • But what will the lucky ticket holders view? They will see an exciting, breth-taking international figure skating competition. They will see the well-planned and organized aspects of this prestiguous event implemented. They will be truly impressed claim organizers of this competition. The Sun Life Skate Canada International is just around the corner. With the 1988 Olympic and World Champions retired, the way is paved for a new dynasty to emerge. Those future champions will compete on this stage October 25-30 .

It was time to look into a new system. The new system was funded by special grants provided by the Ontario Minis try of Northern Development and Mines and by the Ontario Ministry of Colleges and Universities. McIntosh placed the total cost of com- . able to look at their own circulation records. There are, however, a few kinks in the system that have yet to be ironed out. McIntosh said that automation is far from finished and that many sourcesofinformationarenot on the database. It is therefore recommended that students still refer to the card catalogues if your ·computer search comes to a dead end. He also cited problems in The Pros show you how it's done. retrieving some items from photo by Duncan the database.

The weekly Drop-in Centre has received positive comments from students, faculty and local native community memhers. It was felt that the centre was a good concept and that it should operate on a permanent basis. The purpose of the centre is to create a place on campus where native students can rel~, enjoy a cup of coffee and make new friends. The centre is also used for educational sessions, cultural activities, career information and workshops. The Drop-in also provides programs and counselling in academics, social/emotional needs, special assistance, tutorials, orientation and liaison/careers. These programs help to develop a native support network, encouraging the students to remain in school and complete a degree. Weekly acti vi ties include: guest speakers, elders, films, workshops and cultµral activities.

It was felt that the drop-in should be more consistent, providing greater communication and organization among students, while enhancing their cultural identity. The new location should open in six weeks. At present, the Drop-in Centre operates in the Aesthetics Lounge on Thursdays from 10:30-3:30.

The OSAP office will process applications from about 52 institutions all over Ontario and wiB dffer improved service and quicker turnaround times. "Students will look at Thunder Bay in a different light, since this is where the dollars will come from. This is the real thing," said General Manager Jan Donio, Jan is a former Lakehead University Student Union president and Ontario Federation of Students executive. The OSAP office moved to Thunder Bay on September 6 and is temporarily located in the lower level of Keskus Mall, with the relocation to be complete by 1991. The present office houses Correspondence, Appeals, Operations, Payments, Client Services, Graduate Programs, Information and Administration departments. These wi11 be fo11owed by the Main Processing Section, which remains in Toronto. Hence, the actual processing of applications is being done in Toronto, using a twentythree year old mainframe batch computer. "This relocation wiJl allow the ministry to develop new and efficient processing systems when it moves into its new Red River Road complex (behind the Royal Bank) in 1991," Donio said. One such system is a prototype, currently being - A "Move North" for Student Awards Branch. tested at Ottawa University, which allows applications to be directly entered onto disks. In regards to the problems caused by the branch's relocation Donio said, "Our goal this year was to just cope with the applications and we have achieved it." "We receive about a thousand .c~lls a day, since this is our busiest part of the year", she added:. There wiU sti1I be the usual eight week turnaround time, but the overall delay is expected to be much less than in previous years. In addition to OSAP, the office deals . with several other loan, bursary and grant programs. The OSAP office is currently staffed by•41 people, 39 of whom are Thunder Bayites. Most of them are graduates of LU or Confederation College. "Having been recipients of OSAPthemselves, they have a commitment to the student community," said Donio. Most of the staff were recruited last year and sent for training to Toronto, where they worked closely with experienced personnel. As a manager sets up his department here, his counterpart will wind down operations in Toronto. Though the office is located in the city, students are not encouraged to approach the office directly, but rather to go photo Tod Scollie through the school's financial aid office. However students will be allowed to phone regarding any doubts or problems they have. "The university's financial aid officer is like a student's banker, and will know all about the loans and bursaries of that institution," explained Donio. This branch houses a financial aid office for smaller institutions which do not have one of their own. The new OSAP complex, which is expected to be completed in 30 months, is es- . timated to cost $ 27 million and create 300-350 new jobs. The ground floor of the impressive 4-storeyed structure will house a community centre with various recreational facilities. "Communities have been welcoming us (the relocated ministries) with open arms," commented Donio. "And in Thunder Bay, Lakehead and Con College have been very helpful in our relocation." . Sudbury, Sault Ste. Marie and North Bay are some of the places selected for the other ministries. Donio feels confident that the new OSAP headquarters will mean better and efficient service for local students, and will improve Thunder Bay's economy and status. "Personally, I feel happy to be involved in student issues once again," she added. photo by Ted Scollie ..... . . - 06 Oc~~~r-Argus-Page 3 . .. . . �President's Report Whirlwind Dilemma Hurricane Gilbert has been prominent in the news ever since it hit Jamaica a couple of weeks ago. Because of this exposure, donations from all over the world have been pouring in to help the people get back on their feet. In Canada, many relief organizations and commercial corporations are giving financial support to the Jamaican Relief Fund; the Salvation Army recently donated $100,000. Even on campus the push is on, with the AFCASA Reggae Party which was held·on Sept.30 -- all proceeds are going to f,he fund. Now don't get me wrong, I think that these donations and fundraisers are very honourable and can do a lot of good. It seems obvious to help others in times of disaster. However, what many people overlook is the crises which take place in Canada -- even Thunder Bay -- each day. The problem is, simply, that there is not enough money to support the hungry and homeless right here in our own country. For example, the relief shelter on Victoria and Simpson St. is starting to gear up for another Thunder Bay winter by expanding its service from lunch every day to a supper and a place to stay overnight. However, it is finding that the funds for such a proposal is difficult. Although much ofthe project is funded by the various levels of government, a large part of the contribution is needed from the public in the form of donations. To date, there has only been one public donation. How can Canadians give away millions of dollars to foreign dilemmas before they can deal with their own? Yes, relief for Jamaica is a very worthy cause, but why overlook Canada in the process? There has probably been more money donated to Jamaica from Thunder Bay in the last couple of weeks than there was to the shelter all year! Does the building have to be knocked over by a -wind storm before anybody takes notice? • The problem is that this is viewed as a major and tragic disaster and must be looked after right away. The everyday life of the shelter seems drab in comparison, and therefore does not grab as much attention. In effect, it is the media that hypes the event and blows it out of proportion in relation t9 the day to day reality oflife around us. And it is not just shelters which_need attention -- various research groups, such as the Cancer Society, need constant support in order to keep operating. •So the next time you feel the need to donate to kn "emergency" cause, take a look arou,nd you and see where the emergency really is.

Instead, I've decided to write about some of my pet peeves and then report, on a monthly basis what is going on at these Board Meetings. The Board kicked things off in style by approving unanimously the purchase of a new stereo, system for THE STUDY. Randy Yozipovic's energies in this department were not wasted this summer. Ian Middleton moved to have meetings in the Agora so as to give students a better idea of what goes on at meetings. A valiant effort Ian, but we may have to move back indoors. The exposure has done some good but it is terribly hard to hear sometimes. VP External Affairs, Lorri Santa has been keeping the Board up to date on OFS and CFS happenings. This VP has done her homework. Be prepared to March on October 31. I just can't get enough of those speed bumps and paved parking lots.(and neither can the Board). First, getting onto campus is a LIVING HELL. Then, when you do get in, you can't find a place to park. IF YOU GOT A PARKING TICKET IN SEPTEMBER, DON'T PAY IT. IF YOU HAVE PAID FOR IT, YOU'LL GET A REFUND. Check this paper or notices around campus for details. Further, it seems the slick pavement on the lots is causing the odd fender bender. Looks like Administration's put the speed bumps in the wrong place. • John Gardiner hasn't got an office for his Philosophy Club (LUPA), but he has managed to get an excellent speaker for the University on November 10. U ofT prof Elizabeth Trott will be here the day before Remembrance Day to talk about, amongst other things, Health Care (or the lack ofit) in the north. Way to go, John. Just goes to show how a little persistence can _pay off. Now what about Charles Taylor? Committees, committees, committees. Yes, most of them are filled. We're still looking for the odd body (student, that is). See Lorraine in the LUSU office for applications. While we're on committees, I'd just like to add that an 'ad hoc' committee was also formed at the last meeting. This one will focus on our Student Union Building (SUB) and financial forecasting for the Student Union for years to come. VP Finance (88-89) Randy Yozipovic, VP Finance 1987-88 Charlotte Caron and myself will lead this endeavour. Invitations for two additional Board members will be accepted to fill this committee.

Saradhi Puttagunta Last week the Progressive Conservative Party - in anticipation of an upcoming election - placed a colourful ad in the paper encouraging students to vote for them when the time comes. The ad was keen on showing us how much the Mulroney government has done for students since 1984 by throwing a lot of impressive numbers out. Beware! Looks can be deceiving ; those numbers and facts are not necessarily as good as they look. The PC claims to have sunk $200 million into university research budgets. While this looks good for the PC government, federal funding in the last twenty years increased 7 times (of which non-Conservative governments were in power most of the time). In fact ever since 1984, federal expenditures in Research & Development have decreased in areas such as Fisheries & Oceans (down READER QUESTIONS PC CLAIMS from $135 to $103 million between 1984 and 1987) and the National Research Council (down from $287 to $254 million between 1984 and 1987). Members of the local engineering faculties complain that their research budgets were cut in 1984 and, even though the-funding was later reinstated, it did not correspond to the inflation rates. Thus, federal spending by the Tories in such areas actually went down. Furthermore, total expenditures in R&D went down from 37% in 1984 to 34% in 1987. If you do not believe this, check Statistics Canada under R&D indicators. The Tories claim that since 1984, federal spending on education has increased by $300 million. Yet according to St ats Canada's University Finance & Trend Analysis (1985-1986), while federal spending increased, total university expenditures as a percentage of GNP and per- South Africa. sonal income decreased beJust last week, Mulroney tween 1984 and 1986 showed his lack of deter(between 1.5% and 1.4%).

There is no question that homosexuals and lesbians are frequently the brunt of tasteless jokes and intimidation tactics. Discrimination on the grounds of sexual orientation has recently been added to the Ontario Human Rights Code. Anyone experiencing harassment of this kind is therefore protected. By way of definition and examples, you should now know what constitutes harassment. This knowledge is the first step in eradicating the problem. If you are a victim, you know that it is your basic human right to be free from harassment. However you must, no matter how difficult it may be, take the next step and SPEAK UP! Here are a few suggested ways for you to proceed. You choose the route(s) most comfortable for you. Pick up and read available literature (Student Service, LUSU office). Confide in a friend; someone you can trust and whose opinions you respect. Talking about it may ease the pain. If you can, voice your objections to your harasser. Sometimes an emphatic "no" will put an end to . the problem. Understandably that may seem impossible for you to do, or it may prove ineffective.

Most of what I really need to know about how to live, and what to do, and how to be, I learned in kindergarten. Wisdom was not at the top of the graduate school mountain, but in the sandbox of the nursery school. These are the things I learned: share everything; play fair; don't hit people; put them back where you found them; clean up your own mess; don't take things that aren't yours; say you're sorry when you hurt somebody; wash your hands before you eat; flush; warm cookies and milk are good for you; live a balanced life; learn some and think some & draw & paint & sing & dance & play & work every day some. Take a nap every afternoon. when you go out in the world watch for traffic, hold hands, and stick together. e aware of wonder. Remember the little seed in the plastic cup. The roots go down, and the plant goes up & nobody really knows how or why, but we are all like that. Goldfish and hamsters and white mice, even the little seed in the plastic cup - they all die. So do we. And then remember the book about Dick & Jane & the 1st word you learned, the biggest word of all; LOOK. Everything you need to know is in there somewhere. The Golden Rule & love & basic sanitation. Ecology & politics ~ sane living. '... 'hink of what a better world it would be if we all - the whole world - had cookies & milk about 3 o'clock and then lay down our blankets . for a 1ap. Or if we had a basic policy in our nation & other nations to always put things back where we found them & cleaned up our own messes. And it is still true, no matter how old you are, when you go out in the world, it is best to hold hands & stick together. from The Kansas City Ti.mes, by Robert Fulghum Page 8-Argus-06 October, 1988 "W hy did I choose to become a CMA?

Of the Nor'Westers' performance at this showdown, Coach Claude Lapre remarked, "It's the team's first time on the court with a lot of new things to learn. They showed a lot of discipline, having been together only two weeks." He added, "On the first day I could see they wanted to play good." In their debut against St. Catherine's, LU chalked up 15-6 and 15-12 victories. The Nor'Westers extended their streak to two of three sets in their rivalry with Gus- tavus Adolphus. After losing 9-15 in their first match-up, LU came back in fine form to clinch 15-9 and 15-12 wins. The Nor'Westers repeated this pattern by taking two against North Western 15-6. However, they got off to a rocky start with a 11-15 defeat in their initial clash. LU's performances Friday advanced them to the semifinals. The Nor'Westers culminated their first day of action by finishing 3-0 and first in their pool. • In the semi-finals Saturday LU squared off against St. Scholastica. They succumbed to their American opponents 7-15 and 10-15. A battle for third spot resulted in an initial setback 6-15 for LU against Northland College.

Ben Johnson: Triumph to Tragedy Johnson at the heart of the steroid scandal. photo by Denis Tzakis by Janet Fuchek "No pain - everything's great," professed a confident Ben Johnson, reflecting on his victory at the National Olympic Track and Field Trials August 5-7 in Ottawa. Johnson posted a wind-aided 9.90 second showing in the men's 100 m finals, one-tenth of a second faster than Desai Williams to qualify for the Canadian team. Thousands of fans witnessed this powerhouse of sprinting talent, Canada's hopes for an Olympic gold. At a post-race press conference Johnson was asked, 'Will the world record in the men's 100 m finals be shattered at the 1988 Summer Olympics?" 'Who's going to break it?" Big Ben retorted. "You!" shouted one reporter. "Oh, yeah, sure," Johnson admitted with an air of certainty. A month-and-a-half later this sprinter's Olympic gold recorcJ-setting triumph turned into a tragedy. After racing to a new world mark of 9. 79 seconds in the 100 m finals September · 24th, Johnson tested positive to Stanozolol, the most dangerous of all anabolic steroids prohibited in Olympic and national competitions. The International Olympic Committee stripped the Canadian of his medal - and of his dreams. They awarded the gold to American Carl Lewis. Johnson's world was falling apart as the IOC banned him from international competition for two years. Sports Minister Jean Charest denied him funding as an "A-carded athlete" and the opportunity to race in national meets for life. He deemed the Jamaican -'born athlete a "national embarassment". Some Canadians shared this view, calling him a "Jamaican immigrant," rather than a national hero in the sports realm. However, many others remain faithful fans refusing to crucify their idol. His family continues to pledge their support during the steroid scandal. This star sprinter spoke on the matter for an interview published in the Toronto Sun Saturday. Johnson restated his innocence at a news conference in Toronto. He denies knowingly taking steroids though he offers no evidence to refute the results of the urine sample obtained after the 100 m finals. This runner claims he is not interested in propositions to play pro football and plans to continue racing and training. The federal government is presently undertaking an inquiry into the Johnson affair to determine whether sabotage was a factor. Likewise, the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario will be reviewing the sportsman's personal physician, Dr. George Mario (Jamie) Astaphan. Gary Lubin, coach at Johnson's Mazda Club told the CBC that Astaphan al1ude d to administering steroids to his patient before the World Championships in Rome. Astaphan later reported that he gave him only cortico-steroids to treat injuries. This drug is used to reduce swelling and is permissible according to the IOC. The rest of the Johnson entourage, including his coach, Thunder Bay native, Charlie Francis, will be subjected to investigation. Meanwhile, Johnson -and his family await the verdict a gloomy or bright future for this world-class sprinter. r SCORE BOARD VOLLEYBALL Sept.27 Individuals vs Linden Loopers U.P.W. vs Slim Chance Hoodornaments vs God Squad The Untouchables vs What do you call them 1- 0 30-28 49. 26 46-32 Sept.22 38-31 G-Spots vs Individuals Terrifying Teachers vs Chronics Canadian Lights vs The Dirty Rotters The Smashers vs The Violent Fems 48-41 38-35 39-27 STANDINGS VOLLEYBALL TUESDAY EVENINGS Hoodornaments Individuals U.P.W.

An adult learner may be defined as any student (part of full time) who feels as though they are somewhat set apart from the so called "mainstream" of students. Typical examples range from students (young and old) who have been out of school for several years and are attending full time, to part time students who have taken courses before, but never actually felt themselves to be a part of Lakehead. Student Services is looking toward assisting this unique group of students in establishing a social support group/network, whereby group activities, coffeehouses, and other suggested events may be organized on a regular basis. To become a part of these groups, contact Irmo Marini 343-8739 at the Counselling and Career Centre, and watch for bulletins regarding meetings • . .

STUDENT HOUSING PROBLEM OTTAWA (CUP) -- The perennial problem of student housing will be worse than ever this year. Reports from all summer campuses indicate that µeds for students might not exist come September. At ~wo universities, Guelph and Western, construction strikes could aggravate the situation . . At Western, an eight hundred bed residence which was scheduled to open in September will open in late November. Student President John Yokum said the delayed opening will mean at least 500 students will have difficulty locating housing. Administrators say the situation will be improved somewhat by iOO houses formerly used by Air Force Personnel at the Centralia Air Base, which will be available for students to rent. Yokum said the base housing will provide transportation problems, as Centralia is 40 minutes from the campus. He emphasized the success of the plan would depend on transportation arrangements made for the students living there. Western had a tent-in last year to protest lack of accommodation and to bring the problem into the public eye. CONSTRUCTION HALTED All construction on the Lakehead University campus is at a standstill. SETTLEMENT PROSPECTS POOR With. 5 trade unions on strike, there is no hint of an early settlement. An estimated $12.5 million in university construction is tied up by the strikes: none of the new buildings At a meeting with the Lakehead Builder's Exchange last Thursday, the five striking unions agreed to negotiate jointly in the future, but there was no other change in the positions of management or labour. Half the residence buildings were to be completed for the coming school none of the expected 240 beds will be ready, and the student housing bureau will have the task of finding student living quarters. Pentti Paularinne, Director of Off-Campus Housing, was unavailable for comment. Herb Fulton, President of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, Local 339, declined comment on ·the expected length of the strike, but said that, "No da.te was set foP a futUl'e meeting." The electrical workers were asking $1 an hour over two years, and were offered 50¢ over · the same period when negotiations broke off. will be ready for September. Three floors of the centre wing of the Centennial Science Building were to be ready for September, but barring a quick strike settlement, the building will remain closed. According to Dr. Tamblyn, science students may have to attend Saturday Labs to help relieve the crowded faciliti9S now in use. When told that Dr. Tamblyn had said . the building would not be ready in the fall, Dr. Hart, Dean of Science said, "He hasn't told me that. " Dr. Hart refused to comment further concerning the difficulties that might be caused by the construction holdup. A third building, the student centre, was scheduled for completion in the spring of 1969. Due to exp~cted increased registration in the fall, the Great Hall may be used for cafeteria space. The present facilities were designed to accommodate 500 students, but enrollment in the fall will be greater than 2000.

UNFINISHED RESIDENCES FOR SEPTEMBER S.S. ELECTION' The Lakehead University Summer School Society has elected a new slate of officers for 1968-69. A strike threatens to halt construction of a 1,000 bed structure at the University of Guelph. In May, 1200 students were evicted from an apartment building. The Guelph Student Council is now preparing plans for a tent-in if the expected crisis fully develops. At Waterloo, a press&_radio campaign is planned to find housing. Director of Housing_, Edith Beausoleil, expects September to be hectic but not impossible. She said there are many people willing to rent temporary accommodations to students. Besides 180 electrical workers, there Successful for the position of Chairman on the new executive was Cliff HubeP, with Steve Sipos and MaPg Conor as Vice-Chairmen, Boyd Dr>ake as Treasure and Pat Hott as secretary.

Prior to the election meeting on July 10th, there was considerable talk of disbanding the Society altogether owing to recent failure to promote effective programming. At that meeting it was decided to select an executive from the councillors, as the planned student election had drawn no nominations. �ARGUS/2 JULY 19TH SIMON saYs says - by Simon Hoad Happiness is knowing that Giner is pregnant, _ and that you are not implicated, 'cause Ginger is a horse.

I Tent There is a good chance that there will be a miniature Resurrection City on campus this fall. Some members of the Alma Mater Society Council Student Loan Committee have recently been advocating an effective form of protest against the provincial government loan programme. A student "tent city" to be constructed on the lawns around the university now appears to be one of the chief recommendations the committee will present to Council. The University of Guelph student President, Don Langford, is planning the same type of demonstration for his campus this fall. His aims, however, appear to be C 1 t Y mittee. According to the Ontarion, Guelph student newspaper, Langford is proposing the "city" because of a shortage expected in residence accommodation due to a possible plumbers' strike. Presently, the chief aim of the Lakehead Committee is the protest against POSAP. However, if the strikes affecting the new Science Complex and the residences are not settled soon, there may be a more immediate need for the tents in September. L.U.

Invitations have been sent out this week to such notables as Claude Bissel, President, University of Toronto; Mark Rudd, S.D.S. member :Indian Culture The Alma Mater Society Council will ask the administration of Lakehead University to initiate a course in the culture of the Canadian Indian. The Academic Committee will soon present this recommendation to the A.M.S. as one of its chief programs for the coming year. In order to facilitate the administration's adoption of the plan the Academic Committee will suggest that the AMS give the administration up to $2000 to alleviate the cost of such a program. It is hoped that this will be the first part of a two-staged ~tudent-adm"inistration program in Canadian Indian Affairs. If th~ administration should adopt the proposal, the student council will establish a fund totalling $2000 for living expenses for any Indian student wishing to come to Lakehead University in order to participate in such a course.

Tamblyn announced recently that a unique three year diploma program orientated toward the pulp and paper industry will be offered at Lakehead University starting this fall. The program is the cumulation of three years of planning and study in coopera tion with the Education Committee lof the Canadian Pulp and Paper Association and Northwestern Ontario Mill personnel. The initial study was undertaken by Mr. A. Bruley, lecturer in Chemical Engineering at the university. Mr. Bruley's survey indicated ·a strong demand in the Canadian Pulp and Paper industry for both diploma and degree chemical engineering graduates with a background in paper technology. Recent surveys by the Association of Professional Engineers of Ont- ario and similar groups in the · United States also indicated similar trends, but stressed the need for diploma or technology, level engineering skills. Lakehead University's program is intended to fill this need. Offered as an option in Chemical Engineering Technology, the programme provides job opportunities for the graduate in many other chemical and process industries. Entrance requirements for the programme are normally from the Ontario grade 12 level of the five year academic stream. The program will develop the student's ability to apply engineering, scientific, business and professional concepts to trade·, industry, commerce or ~roduction operations in their chosen field.

Unfortunately, it may be construed by many local residents that Mr. Anderson is repre.sentative of the climate of opinion in the University. He seems to have the type of destructive personality which believes that the foundation of society must be destroyed and complete anarchy ensue before anything worthwhile can be built. We all know the structure of society is imperfect & probably people like Mr. Anderson serve a useful purpose by chipping off some of the ~i:&Rm THE GRADUAL CHANGE - Kalid Ali With their "LOVE-INS", "BE-INS", and "FREE LOVE;', the flower children are trying to infuse an atmosphere of cordiality into our "ice-cold" society. How successful are these people in their methods? Objectively speaking, their ideas would be more readily accepted if they were to re-assess their own pos- ition. There is a kind of conformity within their clan. Old clothes, long hair and beards are nothing to be ashamed of for they help to establish one's own individuality. However, stronger emphasis should be placed on hygiene. The flower children must state their goals more explicitly. Although their philosophy has been basically LOVE it is fast being over-shadowed by the taking of LSD and the smoking of pot. They must boot out the black sheep who are helping ruin the living reality that the group started out as. Whatever their shortcomings, the flower children are telling us that a change is desperately needed within this "sick" society of ours where all good thoughts & ideals have given way to selfishness & where MAN has placed himself in such an insecure position due to the technological advances of our age. What a refreshing sight it is to see a group of God's loving creatures surrounded with beautiful flowers, singing songs and reading poetry. North American Society is undergoing a gradual change. Whether this change will have a lasting effect, only time will tell. The people responsible fcx: bringing about this change are looked upon with scorn & contempt by our socalled decent citizens. These nonconformists are easily distinguishable by their long hair and "scruffy" ~lothin . They are the "hippies~• or flower6 children". I much prefer the latter term because of the sentimental connotation it has for me. The flower children are fed up with society's values. They are disgusted JULY 19TH with its rigid structure. They are sick of our emphasis on materialistic values. Most of us are so involved in the perpetual money-making & statusoriented existence that we have forgotten human & compassionate values. The flower children are protesting against the smug minority which rules our society. A small group of capitalists have a firm & unyielding grip on the entire economy. They perpetuate the bureaucracy in our society. As far as jobs are concerned, the old cliche of "not what you know, but who you know" still applies. With their non-conforming attitudes, the flower children are endeavouring to point out the ill-doings of our "sane" society. Our society is becoming more and more impersonal. Individual values have overcome the values of the group. This has led to one of the truest maxims of our time: the "dog-eat-dog" attitude exhibited in every phase of our culture. The flower children are denouncing the prostitution carried on by many groups and organizations. So many people go to church for the sole reason of attracting attention, not caring about what the minister is saying The churches too are gradually moving away from their basic philosophy of helping others, and are being engulfed in a materialistic web. The flower children are calling marriage an out - dated institution. The actions of the marital society have proven this, statistically & otherwise. They are trying to tell us how wrong it is for one to be discriminated against· because of the colour of one's skin. Above all, they are showing us the wrongness of intruding into one's land, pretending to carry on a war for the upkeep of democracy, while in truth fighting for economic survival. They are giving us hope that the change needed so badly is slowly but surely coming. I personally believe that these flower children in years to come will be accredited for causing the greatest social upheaval of our age. manners' unnecessary decorations but, luckily, society rests on foundations which are not going to be rocked by Mr. Anderson and his friends. He pours scorn on Lord Caradon, his immature mind unable to appreciate the subtle way which Lord Caradon's speech was appropriate to his audience. I wonder how much Mr. Anderson has done to further the peace in the world? Maybe Caradon is doing everything wrong, but at least he is doing something. Mr. Anderson finds kneeling to the Chancellor repugnant. The idea of any person being superior to one in age, intellect, or status is too much for him to swallow. It should be pointed out to him that attendance at the ceremony is not compulsory; neither, for that matter, is attendance at the University compulsory, especially for anyone not wishing to obtain a degree It is a pity that the vast majority of students in this university are single minded in wanting to work for a degree which will be of sufficiently high standard to mean something when they receive it and they are not too proud to kneel on that occasion. They are too busy with the disciplin ed work involved in this to have time to argue with the bizarre views expressed by a few of their more idle colleagues. It is hoped that in the future they will be able to spare a little time to combat some of the destructive nonsense bandied in the pages -o f the ARGUS to work together with the majority of the Faculty and Administration to produce a University with sound academic standing, which makes a positive contribution to the locality, this province, this country, and the world. Then, in twenty years time they will be able to stand up proudly and say that their degree came from Lakehead University. Yours sincerely, Joan M.

It is unfortunate that the Co~ittee of Presidents of Universities of Ontario has resorted to publishing propaganda attacks_ such as Student Participation in University Government instead of starting the slow painful dialogue with students. This dialogue must come. Why -ean:':t we begin now? A careful look at this ..document reveals that its purpose is " .•.•• to place the matter of the universities' basic goals". This quotation if found in the Forward of the pamphlet and reveals a gross misunderstanding of the students' pbsition. Students are saying "We want a hand in determining what the basic goals of the university should be". On page . two, the University Government is given its statement of purpose which is " ..• to produce the enviroment where central intellectual functions of the university take , II place. Yet a growing number of talented .young people are "dropping out" of the university community ·· becaase they find their intellectual development hampered at every turn by reams of paperwork and obscure assignments. The arguement that faculty members, or worse, administrators, are able to determine what produces intellectual growth are belied by the statements of their students. "How was class today? Oh, he droned on and on , but , I got a wink from that cute chick in the second row." "What did he say l would be on the exam?" "He said to know the material between pages 461 and 530." "Why did you take that course?" "It's a bird course." Can I do a paper on this?" "No, that material comes in 4x7 next term." If the university is geared to intellectual pursuits why all this? Perhaps it's the students. Careful, that way leads to heresy. On page six of is a paragraph -length: Student Participation which I will quote at I It is important to note that the main assumption here is that the community of scholars will perfonn its function better if it is reorganized on pblitical lines It is not now a political institution. The analogy with political institutions of the state is faculty because the university does not support itself by levying taxes on it members, and the right ·of the citizen to be represented on the body that disposes revenues does not apply. In law, a 11 right 11 involves a remedy i.e., a means of redress if .the privilege in question is denied; obviou~ ly there is at the present time D..Q_ such thing as ~ students I right to representation in university government. The paragraph just quoted is an exercise in word play. Would its ~uthors care to assume that the organization of the university should be modeled after that of Canada, the U.S.A., or perhaps Greece? Further, they would suggest that welfare recipients should not have a say in their own lives because they don !~t make substantial contributions. Perhaps, all those countries the U.S.A. supports should not have self government because of American dollars. In getting to the heart of the matter, it seems that many of our administrators are like colonial masters. "These • savages," they say, "are not ready for seJ.f government. On page eight the text becomes a little clearer on the question of democracy when it warns that "The introduction of the full apparatus of democracy into organizations which have primary goals other than the maintainance of order wil~ bring with it the process of compromise and the likelihood of mediocre decisions and performance." It's hard to understand who this statement is written for. Surely, no one in the Univer~ sity community. Excellence is compromised every day while mediocre decisions are not infrequent. Is it the assumption that the introduction o·f students into the process will make t~ings worse? How can that be when the students receive the brunt of the blunders now? We are asked to submit to the authority of scholarship which has, we are told, nothing to do with majority votes. Students are telling us, however, that they are receiving mediocracy now and that if they participate scholarship will ipcrease -- not The University Presidents' Committee goes on to point out that if the student radicals persist in their demands"•• there would be little hope of such representation improving the operation of the university if it were forcibly imposed with legacy of mistrust that would inevitably re~ sult." This anger and mistrust (exaggerated and threatened), which hovers in the wind, is nothing to the anger and mistrust growing daily on our campuses while current conditions prevail. In defence o\ their position, the Presidents' Committee quotes the Duff Berdahl Report. This fact alone should alert faculty membe~s to the orientation of the Committee. James Duff and Robert O. Berdahl also feel that the faculty should remain at home and mind the stove. Perhaps a fitting close to this critique of Student Participation in University Government is found in the words on page eighteen of the report: Openess as an absolute principle could lead to abuses just as unsavoury as those associated with secrecy, e.g., the justification of bugging devices and surr:ptitious tape-recording, leading to the negation of individual freedom of -speech and thought reminisent of 1984.

As a 1968 graduate of U.C.L.A., Don's primary work will be as System Analyst in the Computer Centre on campus. Don will aid any aspiring track men in his free time. Don was a graduate of P.A.C.I. and he went on to U.C.L.A. mainly because California is the hot bed of track in the States and Don showed plenty . of promise as a high school athlete here. U.C.L.A. offered good training facil- ities, excellent coaches, and fine weather to enable Don to train hard. As far as leadership goes, Don captained the Canadian track team at the Pan Am games last year. He was also captain of the U.C.L.A. track team. When in the Lakehead during the summer, Don puts his leadership to work coaching little league baseball in Port Arthur. Concerning his job as track coach, Don will be giving his free time to help local track people improve their cooch's corner - by Larry Hebert The big announcement of the past two weeks has been the appointment of Don Domansky as Track and Field coach at Lakehead University. Don is a well known Lakehead track man who dominated local high school track when he was at P.A.C.I. He then attended u.c.L.A. and has since proven himself as one of Canada's top track athletes. For more information on Don, see the article on him in this issue. ************************************* In the "What do L. U. athletes do during the summer" department, Roger ' ~-The Saint" Moore has once again distinguished himself by bashing out a home run. Gerry Kishi plays fastba11 for the Simpson Rockets of the Intermediate League, while John Schelling and Jim Sanderson toil for the Ukes. Both of the above mentioned also play football for the Mustangs. John Fallus also plays fastball for the Beach League down in old T.O. for the Travellers in the Commercial Fastball League while t,orne Gander worked for the Gateway Builders of the Senior Baseball League until he acce~ted a job down east. Ab Slivinski, another S.S. student, has been doing a great job on the golf links. Ab won the Chapples championship this year. Two of his closest competitors were Dick Battiston and Tony Marsonet, both from the L.U. golf team. ************************************* Two members of the Lakehead University faculty who are also basking in the sun at the local golf establishments are Mr. Crozier of the English Department & Dr. Hawton of the Chemistry Department.

Rob certainly deserved it for all his hard work and his fighting unselfish spirit. It is rumoured that a few of the girls from Nursing Degree were so thrilled with Rob's party during the year that they decided (Jan and Sue) to help swing the vote for his election as Honorary Captain. ************************************* The recent appearance of Ed Feignor, the King and his Court, gave local fastball fans a chance to see the diamond's sreatest _pitcher. Ed puts on a great show and is a great hit witfi Peter Young and the youngsters & Ed even invited him out to bat during the game, but he declined. (Ed. - Pete is a real glove man anyway. In the Intermediate Fastball League, he is known as "Brooks" Young or the Human Vacuum Cleaner.) style and he will also program conditioning exercises for those who wish to stay in shape. He says that the hardest part of training is the psychological barrier getting by the first 6 weeks. Don says that the human body can take the punishment, but the mind must also be conquered. While at U.C.L.A., Don developed i~t9 a world renowned 440 yd. man and 400 metres, the Olympic distance. He holds the u.c.L.A. 400 metre record and helped break the 400 yd. relay records. He is part of the 400 y1. relay team which holds the world record 39.6. Don holds the Canadian Open record in the 440 yd. and 400 metre events. Don won mecals in the British Commonwealth games in Jamaica and in the 1967 Pan American.games. Because of all these competitions, Don h'15 not only met a lot of interesting people but has travelled to many cities in North America and has had to turn down trips to Trinidad and Russia for lack of time. The hope of Don, like that of every other amateur athlete, is to take part in the Olympics. His vear-round training, at least five day~ a week, will receive its ultimate test in the 1968 Olympics later this year in Mexico City. Don is optimistic about his chances and the Canadian team's as a whole. Don will continue his training after the 1968 Olympics, hoping to make the 1972 squad so he can visit Germany. Don feels that the altitude in Mexico City will not bother him too much unless he runs several 400 metre qualifying events in one day. In the next few weeks, Don will be travelling to Toronto, and then on to Europe for track meets in preparation for the Olympics. Lakehead University is proud to have such a distinguished Canadian athlete on the staff. ************************************* Well friends, Owen Marks has done it again. As mentioned in the first paper, Owen invented a baseball game. Now he has decided to tape these games for you, the listening audience. A meeting of business and religious heads (''heads"?!?) in the Twin Cities has refused to give their permission for Owen to play the tape over the sound system of the University Centre lounge because of some crude language. By the way, Owen's record now stands at 131 losses out of 132 games played. ************************************* And finally, for all you car fans, Jim Johnston's II Green Hornet" is ready to rol again after having an overhaul.

Their formal resignations take effect Friday, June 28, at 5:00 p.m. In accordance with the AMS Constitution, Peter McCormack will now move up to the post of President. Recent controversy centered around these two executive members foreshadowed the announcement. Starting as a motion of non-confidence in both Burns and Barkwell, the issue was further complicated by Dr. Tamblyn's meeting with Barkwell concerning his academic record. According to Barkwell, he was presented with ari "ultimatum" to the effect that he would be barred from re-registering at Lakeheaq University if he did not resign from his position in the AMS. Following an interview with Barkwell (the complete transcript can be found on page 3), the ARGUS contacted Dr. Tamblyn to hear the Administration's side of the story. When questioned regarding the "ultimatum" delivered to Barkwell, Tamblyn said, "I deny that there was any ultirrritum whatsoever." He explained that as acting Dean of Arts he was entirely within his rights to review personally the cases of all failures in the Faculty of Arts. "There is nothing unusual in this review at all; it happens every year'~ he said. Tamblyn said that all students would be judged by the same criteria.

The application form itself is a maze which threat'ens the sanity of anyone filling it out. Initially, the applicant is required to fit into one of the designated categories in order to qualify for any type of aid whatsoever. These categories are: 1) that the applicant has completed four successful years of post-secondary education, or 2) that he prove that he has worked for twel\f"e -consecutive onths prior to registration, be 1 years of age and provide a declaration of financial independence or 3) that he be a married student prior to registration for the coming academic year. These categories, it must be remembered, are for those students that are not dependent on their parents for financial support. The plan remains basically the same as last year in the respect that dependent students' parents are required to complete the means test in order to qualify their sons or daughters for aido Hou SING PENTTI PAULARINNE V-<Jte.c:tofl. 06 066-Campu.6 HoU6ing As in past years, the problem of housing at Lakehead is a bitch. Pentti Paularinne, the Director of Off-Campus Housing, said that most of last year's landlords have been contacted. However, an acute shortage is already apparent, as some landlords are reluctant to rent to students. An extensive advertising campaign is planned for the next month~ It may be necessary to go into Fort William in order to find accommodations. This would increase transportation costs. The completion of half the new 480 bed residence. by September will alleviate some of the problem, but students requiring housing will be advised to write the Off-Campus Housing Bureau, NOW, and indicate the accommodations they require, or it's the tents for September. Monique Oullette, President of the Ontario Union of Students, was interviewed by the Canadian University Press, and said that the announcement regarding the revised program was "deceiving and disappointing. It marks a regression in an already highly imperfect program". In referring to the deadline introduced this year for the receipt of applications (October 31), Miss Ouellette said, "The introduction of a deadline date shows greater concern for administrative peace of mind tharl for the well , being of students." Coupled with new qual~fications for aid are the following changes: an increase in ~ost of living allowances for dependent and married students, revision of the parental contribution table which makes aid from parents more in accordance with their financial abilities, and that students who have tne full use of an automobile are· to be treated as if they own the automobile when finan- cial resources are calculated. In charging that the program was not sufficient, Ouellette said, "Unt i1 much more money is made available and a program is devised to help students on the basis of their actual financial need and nothing else, Ontario will continue to tax the poor to finance the education of a largely middle-class population.'' Under the new system, there are numerous students who qualify for no type of aid whatsoever. There are the people who have not worked for the 12 month period, are not over 21 years of age and are i~dependent of financial aid from their parents. KERR - "No mo ne.y - no wa.y; " Any combination of these three stipulations will result in the same outcome - no money. It, therefore, appears that their only hope qf receiving aid this year is to write to the Department of University Affairs in Toronto and plead their case on the basis of some provision made for individual cases. Otherwise, it appears that there will be a ntDnber of students living at the Sally Ann and taking two courses, if any at all, this year. Unfortunately, Dean Kerr, the Dean of Students and Student Awards Officer for this campus, is unavailable for comment at press time owing to his attendance at a con~ ference out of· town. �7 ARGUS-2 Barkwell and Burns have been coerced into leaving office. On the pretense that they were maintaining the academic standards of the .University as a whole, and regardless of how they manipulat~d the Senate regulation, Tamblyn &Co. have ejected these two AMS executive members from all student activities. That Barkwell and Burns are AMS officials is not important. What is more important is that they are also students. Place them in this perspective· and then relate it to yourself. It's clear that the administration has the power to decide what courses we are compelled to take, but also that they can decide what activities, if any, we are allowed to participate, in after lectures. • Tamblyn is constantly referring to ~is "community of scholars" concept - bullshit, straight bullshit. How can there ever be any free exchange of ideas or free thought for that matter, when he has the power to detennine what we can do when allowed to register? When a university official places any type of condition on a student's entrance, then the entire ideal behind a University is lost and the system i tse 1f becomes a_sham. 1 Your vote in the elections held in February was meaningless, and your ·vote in any future election is equally empty. Our council is a waste of time, and further discussion over the rights of students is also a waste until such time as we are willing to stand up and tell the adninistration .to go to hell. If University officials want trouble then they'll bloody well get it, and more than they can handle - enough to make them fall from their plastic imitation ivory towers down into the mass that will consume them. - a.h. _F__. o_m ______ M i s 1 _ _____..........

The loss of a quormn in the June 17 meeting marked the fourth session in a row in which council business could not be completed. As a result, several important budgets are still waiting to be passed, and in the opinion of some councillors, will not be dealt with until after the summer session.

BU/1.n.h • " Miss Powell was referring to the AMS Council meeting of June 17th which ended in chaos when Vice President of Progrannning, Jerry Burns, left the meeting at an extremely critical moment, owing to an apparent appointment elsewhere. The crisis developed over a motion of non-confidence in the AMS executive, made by council member and President of the Arts Society, Pat O'Brien. Perhaps .more important, there has been no action taken by council on the motion of non-confidence in the AMS executive. Although the grounds for the motion were not academic, there has been much discussion in council the, past three meetings over the scholastic qualifications of Mr. Barkwell & Mr. Burns. In the ensuing action, Burns arose & announced to the council that he had a prior commitment and would be forced to leave the meeting in fifteen minutes. Reminding the council that the quor\Dll would be lost upon Burns' departure, O'Brien withdrew his motion and Owen Marks, Arts IV representative, moved that that quormn be reduced to 8 members from 10. As the official minutes of the AMS council meeting of June' 9 will testify, Burns was questioned as to his intentions of returning to Lakehead University this September. As he.had failed his April examinations, Burns said that he had re-applied for Business Administration I. He also stated that he was awaiting the results of some aptitude tests he had taken that would determine whether or not he was best suited for this course The motion was put to the vote after a ten minute discussion period. It was at this point that Burns left the meeting and ~11 further action had to be halted. This somewhat timely exit of the V.P. of Prograrmning met with minor discontent on the part of some councillors, and hostile remarks from others. Heated conversations among councillors lasted far into the night. Mr. Marks stated, "By ~ ac..t,i,on-0 .th-l6 e.ve.n,i,ng, l i .6 e.erM tha.:t the. V.

Perhaps the final word on this confusing issue was given by Pat O'Brien, President of the Arts Society.

" "One of our problems," he said, "Is that we clon 1 t have a coherent idea of what vre would like to see after the revolution." This pertJeating vagueness is symptomatic of the entire push for "student power". In the first place, it isn•t power at all, but rather • control of their destinies that students seek. In ~a.n.Y instances, student complaint·s a.re quite legitimate. The recent :Iall-J)ennis report on educa- tion recommends the abolition of school subjects as they a.re todey, P.11 grades, homework, formal examinations, percentage marks, and class standines. The report does not deal directly with current issues such as student pawar; student power as now sought would become irrevela.nt. But, Neil A. !.1acEachern of ;!aterloo, President of the Ontario Public School Trustees Association, SA.id the report delved into the obvious without touchincr the real p~blem - money. "A i rea.t many things in the repo=t are quite Utopian," he said. " ••• where are we going to get the money to establish such a system. Our old box-type schools do not easily adapt themselves. ill'l.d where are wo eoine to e;et a new staff1" The question of money .is at the crux of the matte_r. But students s~ away fron this kind· of analysis. Thus, their e.ttempts a.t reform th.rough anarcey and arson have misc~rried in favoux of the status quo. Social change raust be enginee!:'ed. This requires oreanization around a predete:mnined strateer ond tactics. Until students get that far in their thinking, they will get nowhere.

ARGUS: At present there are rumours circulating that you have or you are preparing to resign your position as President of the Alm·a Mater Society.

BARKWELL's ARGUS: What are the reasons for the submission of your resignation? BARKWELL: My reasons are not because of lack of confidence in council nor that I feel that I have not been doing my job adequately. They are, however, because I can take courses at Lakehead University in the future only if I resign my position as President of the AMS and do not participate in any extra curricular )activities. I ARGUS: Who presented you with this ultimatum? BARKWELL: It was in an informal conversation that it was intimated (quite strongly) by the Registrar almost one week ago. But Dr. Tamblyn told me this morning that I could not, in his opinion, successfully complete an academic year while carrying on with any extra curricular activities. As he is Acting Dean of Arts, for me, it's resign or forget a university career. ARGUS: In pres en ting you with this ultimatum, what criterion did Dr. Tamblyn refer to in suggesting that you could not be academically successful and maintain your position as AMS President at the same time? BARKWELL: It was a personal judgment on the basis of my academic record having failed my year and having ' held the posts of Advertising Manager of ·the Argus, Vice President of the AMS and now, as President of the AMS. I tried to explain to him that I had learned to handle the academics with the extra curricular but ~is argument was th.at I would, have BARKWELL: I don't know that I was singled-out but it seems to me that the situation wouldn't have magnified if I had been a good corporate citizen and _gone along with the recommen,dations of the more experienced mem- ' bers of the university community who are trying to -protect me from myself. ULT/MAT BARKWELL: I think this is one of the most open mistakes that the Administration has made in their attempts to control the student body. The President of the University has been wise to cover up his enforcement of the Senate ruling regarding the maintainance of a C average for all students involved in extra-curricular activities. The significance of this to me is that we think that students should be involved in,. the decision-making of thi~ university, and yet, the Administration and the Senate will not give us the tokenism of allowing us to run our own student government. Dr. Tamblyn's arguments -might be valid in his context, but I don't think it can be overlooke9 that, under the "snow", you'll find the Senate. ARGUS: In other words, you feel this to be a direct assault by the Admin-■------------------a• govern istration on students' rights td themselves? not work towards this as effectively from too far outside the system. Besides, in order that-I might continue my education, I am going to require a Student Loan, and if I did remain as President, it has also been intimated (and backed-up with an example) that my chances of receiving the loan would be almost nil. BARKWELL: Definitely and more in that I feel that the Administ;ation and the Senate are challenging the stude~ts at a time when they can't retaliate effectively. It's all part of the bigbother, father-confessor attitude held towards students at Lakehead University. ARGUS: To your knowledge, is~_your's the only case of this • type under review by Tamblyn? .ARGUS: What do you think will happen from here? BARKWELL: I think that the students BARKWELL: have a great deal more to say about their education and their institute. Next year I can see students disregarding the fatherliness and starting to think on th~ir own. I have received a big lesson on how powerful the Administration and the Senate can be when they want to maintain the status quo. I hope that the students of Lakehead University will also be able to gain some insight into why they are, as JERRY FARBER explains, NIGGERS. We can think. We can. I thought that mine was to be the only one, but presumably, because of the situation, an Arts student that failed and has not been notified by the Registrar that he could repeat his year, will have his case reviewed as well. I felt that the way it was put to me was such that if I did resign, these other students would stand a better chance. ARGUS: Why do you feel that you have been singled out now? FI.EM MAKERS Several faculty members and students from Lakehead University are in the process of making a hot media right here in the frozen north. This realization takes the form of a half hour feature length sound film in black and white under the title of "Ely". The entire project evolved out of the enthusiasm generated at the Film Workshop at Quetcio this spring. Mr. A. Menhart, who will direct th~s film, estimates the cost to be about $7,500. Shooting for the film will be done locally and local act~rs have been approached for casting. Larry Anderson will edit the film and Mr. W. Houston will write the music. The script for "Ely" has been adapted from a short story by Jack L~mmon, a Lakehead University student. The story is considered excellent and the National Film Board has indicated their interest and offered their advice. Having already completed a seven minute experimental film called "The Film Mikers", the crew is preparing to do another professional job on "Ely". Interest has been shown by the AMS and the Lakehead Film Makers Guild in supplying funds for the production. It is hoped that most money will come from private subscriptions.. Shortage of funds is the only thing holding up the production. Equipment is also required as two 16 mm cameras are the only stock. Outlets for the completed film includ~ local televi~ion, ·Lakehead University, and, ~ventually, Toronto. In completing this film, Mr. Menhart ~~pes "to create an environment where more movies can be produced in the Lakehead 11 • St~d~ Ho~sln9 Gu.rea..'-4 Req_u.tre s Acco mod.a..t ions For- Stu.cle nt.s , Inc.I u.clinr coti+a.c.t: Perrffi Pt\ula.rhn,e , Oirec:\or of •51'.lden-t Hole.Sin~, IA kc he~cl Univer si+ y, ph. 3't5 •21lt �CONCERNING the nature of ARGUS-4 ANSWER: by Owen Marks QUESTION: 28/6/68ARGUS Bazarov is alive· and well in S.IJ.S.

ANSWER: Today's Today's Today's Today's Today's Joday's student student student student student student is is is is is is In Canada, the history of STUDENT POWER should be written only in the future tense. However - the students of only one Canadian university (Simon Fraser, B.C.) have really been able to affect a change in the administrative levels of their institution. Within a week, this summer, two presidents of this four year old university were forced to resign because of faculty & student pressure. However, the only effect STUDENT POWER has had in other Canadian universities is the acininistrations' granting to students a few Senate positions. Of course, npt even this miniscule form of administrative paternalism has been attempted at Lakehead University. There is not even a student Senate observer here. insecure. secure. alienated. involved. immature. mature. FATHER KNOWS BEST: There are a great many of you pursuing your education under difficult circumstances for which you deserve tremendous credit.

We had to have 60% to get in. (Unfortunately, I never asked in which subject.) But perhaps that university atmosphere was closer to what Tamblyn wanted than what he has now. The University existed because it was. The student obeyed his prof, the prof obeyed his employer. All were happy because no questions were ask- i .J li . s i ty e , did too much about our education. When · Tamblyn admi~ted t~at the University had a few defects, we thought he was j~st being humble. But since my freshman year one distant mistake and one not-so-distant miscalculation have torn this campus (and most of the others in the West) from an intellectual Elysium into a bright psychedelic 1968 world (reminiscent of 1848). Vietnam and the dying liberal-oriented civil rights movement were the spoilers. Both helped to shave away the student's umbilical cord of misplaced idealism and aimless pragmatism. QUESTION: What do you want? R has a is se o social ts are still the problems hi n the unicountry's univers1 y students ~ave not yet found the flaming social issue with which they could light the world on fire. Thus the social anxieties of the Canadian students are directed against the closest institution of oppression they can find -- the university administration. Although many radical students would very much like to destroy the economic system under which they toil, student representation on the Senate and Universal .Accessibility will not be the issues which will help them do this. OTHER VIEWS: It was revealed on Saturday that a small group, organized as Students for a Democratic Society, sparked the rebellions in the various colleges (USA). And one of the leaders of the group in an interview said, "Capitalism must go." He talked of his organization spreading off-campus and creating "a class conscious revolutionary socialist movement". So it's out. Those who guessed that the demonstrations and takeover of university properties were organized and encouraged by communists are proven right.

There were graduates in front of us, full professors in back of us and a few unfortunate lecturers and assistant professors in the mud beside us. At last someone gave the word and we set off in a dead run toward the armegeddon. We marched into the building and around the balcony. Half way around someone tripped and _pulled the cord to the electric organ. It was only the beginning. • At ,. J.as t we were a 11 seated. Everything went nicely until Lord Caradon began to speak.

Upon hearing his credits one faculty member exclaimed {under his breath), "My God! EveJLywheJLe :the man'-6 been :the/Le' -6 .been .tlr.ouble." . Of course adding to our discomfort was the fact that we were unable to smoke. It is impossible to sort out which of the events of the afternoon contributed most to our discomfort. For your consideration they were: l) ' the absurd speech 2) the lack of smoking privileges and 3) the ridiculous custom of kneeling before the Chancellor to have degrees conferred. \ As 'each person knelt, t~e Chancellor whispered something in his ear. There are conflicting reports as to what he said. All in all the afternoon was not a complete waste. I defeated the faculty member next to me in an exciting game of chess. -Larry Anderson Ontario.

The c.nnounceoent came this morning (June 24) after recent controversy raged on and off campus. According to the University P,esident the crisis over the now-unoccupied building arose after Port William City council refused to allocate additional funds to maintain the ur:keep of the structure. It \Vas reported that some Aldermen were anrious over the fact students were 11 not getting the education we intended them to get" and that, for the most part,the entire complex was a "waste of tax money". Rumours to the effect that student activists, who were "inspired by commies" accordine to the Fort William Titles Journal, also pla;y-ed a major role in the recent upheaval. Earlier this year students voiced their dissent, in a token capacity, by mass urination upon the north parapet of the structure. However, regardless of what .the reasons were, the building, referred to as the "castle" or the "death trap 11 by some, is finally coming beaten t.ro of the stronger tea.ms in the league.

The Dominion Bureau of Statistics recently released an analysis of provincial finances which showed the surge of provincial education .during 1967, was due mainly to a massive transfer of federal funds to the provinces. Most dramatic increases in provi~cial education budgets are m the maritimes where New Brunswick's education spending increased 215 per cent. They have picked up the c~mplete tab for public educ ati«;>~ at all l~vels, except tmt1on at the university level. Newfoundlandhas abolished elementary and secondary school ta.,re s and fees, and some fees at the university ~evel. Their education budget 1s up 84 per cent from 1966. Budget slices for education in other provinces are:--onTario 36 per cent; Newfoundland, Alberta, and Manitoba, 35 per room and lounge, and a 20 seat committee dining room, as well as 900 lockers, food preparation area, mechanical rooms, and staff lunch room. cent; New Brunswick, 34 per cent; and other. provinces from 24 to 30 per cent. Per capita spending in the province looks like this: Newfoundland, $144, the highest; Alberta, $143; New Brunswick $_128; Ontario $120; Quebec, $111; Manitoba, $105; Nova Scotia; $102; and Prince Edward Island and Saskatchewan $75. ' St.atistics are not available for British Columbia, which does not provide a functional classification of their spending. All estimates are based on provincial populations as at Jan. I, 1968. The provinces together increased spending in education by 25 per cent but only about 7 .4 per cent of this was out of their own funds. Prospects poor Summer job prospects? The shits!

Delegates from all three English language members of UGEQ: Loyola, McGill and Sir George Williams, will undoubtedly press for immediate acceptance of a bilingual organization during the three day congress being held at Sir George Willi ams University this week. The motion stands little chance of passing, since most french-speaking institutions are opposed to it. Since the publication of the first volume of the B and B commission, most English speaking delegates see no reason for UGEQ's unilingual organization. But UGEQ is financially and technically unable to cope with bilingual documents, says Jean Sicotte, external vice• president of the Sir George William's students' association. He said UGEQ cannot produce all the necessary documents in French as it is. Sicotte added he will oppose any motion for an amendment to change the unilingual basis of UGEQ. He said delegates from Universite de Montreal, Laval CUP QUEBEC CORRESPONDENT and Sherbrooke would almost certainly oppose any such motion. He pointed out the large majority of U de M students had voted in favor of Rene Levesques option • Quebec Separatism. Sicotte says the English student councils should be responsible for better communications between UGEQ and the student population. It would be up to the individual university councils to translate the material. Richard Burkart, external vice-president of the McGill Students Society, said several McGill delegates were in favor of the bilingualism. He said, however, an amendment introducing bilingualism should be introduced at the next year's congress because of UGEQ's unstable financial situation. "Bilingualism is necessary if UGEQ wants to. be a progressive organization," he said. Loyola student council president Graham Nevin said two Ian guages within the UGEQ framework was desirable. He said he would back such a motion, as UGEQ would become more representative and inform the Quebec students more adequately.

Some questions that I have pondered over the past few few weeks are; Can any of you deny the fact that as long as you have been able to back up statements logically, and factually, you have been given full credit for that statement. How many of you ever ask questi·ons 1.n the c1assrooms.;, Scare d you'll get centred out? Scared that you will show the others in the class how much you have been studying? How many of you have come to this or any University to actually work at learning. Did you come here for a cheap degree? How many of you are selective at registering for courses, looking for the lighter load? How many of you nominated someone to run in the recent elections? How many of you asked questions of them, supported your choice or talked I.Do they really know (do you) what is meant by communication? 2.Are they, (are you) aware of the actual position of the power structure that sets down the legislation governing student activities and participation in education, sports, extracurricular activities, etc.? 3.Are they (are you) really willing to communicate to the fullest extent with others? First, I would like to point out that communication is a two way exchange of ideas, atti• tudes, opinions, etc. If at any time this EXCHANGE breaks down, or one party refuses to exchange ideas, attitudes, opinions etc., there can be no communication. it up among yourselves, showing the good and the bad points of those that were running? How many of you sit in the classroom and force the Professor to keep talking just to break the monotony of the silence in the room? Just what the hell do you want? Upon asking one member of the student body about whether or not he would be against the idea of having members of the faculty administration, or other senior members, sitting in on student body meetings so that he could relate to the student body feelings of those senior boards; he was totally against the idea. That's communication!!!! To further tlie argument on communication, how many stu• dents have tried to communicate with their respective lecturers, profs., and/or other members of faculty, administration, etc.? I'm all for making changes both in the structure of University and in the format of coursses; but, how about working together towards a common goal, for the common good of all those concerned. He who listens the most, learns .the most. But this is on the assumption that he will also interject with questions. The students of this, like all other, universities are either one way or the other, apathetic or nihilistic. If you can't understand fully what is going on, you don't ask questions, you just want to destroy the whole system. One must rem- MODS MAKE MUSIC MONDAY ember that the very foundation of the Universily 1s based on the student body. If the students are apathetic to what is going on, how can the structure of the University help them?

Briefly, it means not getting excited even under the greatest provocation, not running off at the mouth even when great insults have been levelled, nor bearing grudges against those who have done the provoking or insulting. In other words, "keeping one's cool" means showing that one is worldlywise, sophisticated, and yes, maybe even just a little bored with the ways of the world. For my money, the 1967·68 grand prize for keeping cool goes to the Administration of Lakehead University. It took a tremendous amount of cool to ignore the graffiti in the tunnel, and much more of the same to leave the scrawlings• where they were. • Possibly, one of the reasons is that the "student-power" bit has reached what might be called the saturation-point, and that a reaction of boredom is inevitable. Writing on walls, after all, is a kindergarten-syndrome that all parents have to put up with,. and even mothers often get tired trying ! to scrub the crayon-scratches off the livingroom walls. To compare the scribbling of fashionable. slogans on· the walls of L. U.'s humble tunnel to the writing of the "finger of •God" on the walls of Belshazzar's palace, is to make a mystical exper• ience out o1 a cowardly and small-minded act of vandalism. Most students shrugged their shoulders at the childish prank, deplored it, and forgot about it. It _might be as well if the Argus did the . same, instead of elevating it to an idealistic plane, and expressing admiration for the anonymous housepainter; for if such work qm be called art, then Adolf Hitler, too, was an artist. Maybe the Editor put his finger on the real problem when he attributed the scrawler's action to "frustration". Frustration lashes out in the most unexpe~ted ways, and is often directed against something qui"te unrelated to it. Heaven only knows •what the hang-ups of the scrawler were, but one thing is certain; they did nothing to further the cause of !'student-power". Rather they served to take the fuse out of the time-bomb. Poetic justice, that ... When we are warned to "Look South, Baby, and think . .... , we are asked to look at the evils of the United States• aggi;ession in Vietnam, the raceriots, and all the other unrest rampant South of our border. But have Canadian student newspapers ever stopp~d to think _that ·this slogan applies eq1Jally to all the "student-power" riots, .which started in California, that State famous for its ·"kookiness", its disproportionate share of religious fanatics and political zealots? Yes, indeed, "look South, Baby, and think" Think of the educational system in use there. Think of the "mickey-mouse" courses offered in such things as golf, basket-weaving, and other inane subjects for which credits are given at some of the lesser Universities in the more obscure corners of the .great Republic. Think, and be grate· ful that you attend a Canadian University, from where you will obtain (hopefully) a degree that will stand up anywhere on the North-American continent. "Look S0uth, Baby, and think". Think of the fact that you live in a country where you can be green with purple polka-dots and not be discriminated against. And don't believe for a moment that the advocates of student-anarchy have cornered the market on thinking. It has become increasingly more apparent that they think of themselves as prophets, and anyone who considers himself a visionary has clearly lost his perspective, his "cool". Thin_!{ of the fact that just "being an individual" is not enough. Sure, "doing your own thing" is wonderful, but be sure that the "thing" ·is positive and real, not an ephemeral castle in Spain. Think of your courses, whether in the humanities or in science, as "disciplines", and know that knowledge requires not only an abiding interest, but a sense of responsibility as well. Freedom alone does not guarantee that you may acquire wisdom; only self-discipline and contemplation and time will expand the mind, not hallucinatory drugs. Unless, of course, you want to follow the example of the Incas, who got high on powdered mushrooms, sat.around in a happy haze, and became extinct. Keep your cool, man. Don't join just any American "revolution: because it is the "in" thing". (Remember, our Forefathers did not join in the general excitement in 1776, but, being Northerners, kept their cool.) And if you are not too happy with the educational "status quo", try to make the best of it. I doubt if there is a perfect system of higher learning anywhere in the world, and if there were, I'm sure it would be very dull indeed, rather than exciting. For perfection in itself means total attainment, and and as long as man's spirit strives and surges onward, attainment can never be achieved. In the words of Dr. John Mayer, Professor of Philosophy at Brock University, the solution is to "find values and fulfillment in less than perfect institutions; to learn the techniques of coping with the sham and the irrelevant, and still have time for the good, the true, and the beautiful glimpsed amid the dross" . That, Baby, is "keeping your cool". �March 1, 1968 Page 5 THE ARGUS Traitor or Patriot by Boyd Hussey "Most of all my poetry is personal, having to do with things like death, happiness ... " That's Bruce Maine speaking. Bruce came to us this week from Colorado by way of Ne• braska and because of his draft board. There is only a touch of the American "twang" in his otherwise quiet voice. The full impact of what he has done and what he hopes to do has not yet struck him. No doubt Bruce spent a great deal of time considering whether or not he should leave the United States.. It became apparent, however, that he had not spent enough time considering WHY he should leave. His words revealed that as deep as his thoughts are and as well founded as they may be, they lack the conviction that is necessary for true belief. Bruce has made the mistake of speaking out during the period of incubation that thoughts must go through. It is a mistake to be avoided if one hopes to convince others. Until Mr. Maine has transformed his thoughts into beliefs he will have difficulty with all but those it is· not necessary to convince. Bruce feels, and feels is the correct word at the moment, that the Vietnam war is wrong from an American point of view because "the things America was founded on, self-determination and popular revolution, are at stake. "If Americans can't fullfil their dream at home they have no right to extend it anywhere else. The Vietnamese should be able to eat his bowl of rice in peace whether he is a COMMUNIST or a capitalist ... It is impossible to resist the Vietnam war by saying I am against this war. You have to be opposed to all wars." He felt that the "American Dream" had a great deal to do with the problems at home and in Vietnam. "The people realize that they have the dream but not the reality, so they want to give it to someone else." What 1s the "American Dream"? "A man is a man, able to do with his life what he can. It is something that can't be decided Bruce Main by laws but only within the individual. We say we're a free society bur we're not. America has committed the greatest genocide since Hitler in its treatm.e nt of the Negro. The •American Dream' was an ideal valid for the founding fathers. It has never existed." He spoke too of misguided patriotism. "The average American patriot is a complete ass, more willing to give his life for a tri-coloured rag or Mom or apple pie than for the Nigger down the block. If there are not enough people willing to die for America as it is now, then America is not worth dying for" Bruce Maine is an idealist, disillusioned, but still in love with his country. He wants to change it • somehow. Perhaps his stay in Canada will ~ive him the time necessary to find out why. "As much as I despise what America is doing, I still love America. Maybe because it's a dream. Maybe because it's given me things I wouldn't be able to have elsewhere. As long as there are people in America who don't know this freedom then I can't feel a free man." World Federalists - a ''nice'' idea by Simon Hoad The achievement of world rule under law of an effective supra-national authority is the professed aim of tile World Federalists. However, the implementation of such a plan must have more substance than afew repeated platitudes about world peace if it is going to have a policy capable of implementation. All murderers on the national level have, and do, continue to profess their single-minded devotion to the pursuit of peace as the panzers rolled into Poland and the bombs fell on Hanoi. The single issue of the Canadian World Federalist magazine examined seemed much like an innocuous 'house organ of Big Business Corporation. Why, in preaching ideas for promoting peat:e must cream puff methods be used? The reason I am reacting with anger is that the World Federalists do have some good policies. The idea of a World federation that is not a super government, with sovereignty only over unilateral actions of one nation against another, is the only variation of a larger than national government that has a chance for success. The mazagine should spend less time printing pap for tile consumption of its 3000 plus Canadian members. As certain of its members realize membership must be much larger before it can have any influence on Canadian government policy. But a need for growth must not mean thatthe members become an inward turning, selfcongratulatory group of the •saved'. There is a definite trend in human society for a replacement of feuding, ordeals, contests and wager of battle by rule of law. However to just stop conflict avoids an important point. Conflict is useful. Marriage, civil rights, and national states are all institutions built on conflict THeARGUS VOLUME 11, No. XX and its sensible, purposeful control. What we need is regulated conflict. (Much the same as we have regulated sexuality; no repression and anarchy results or total repression and man faces extinction.) Perhaps we should follow Konrad Lorenz and work to find methods of further "ritual- izing" our aggressive tendencies. , In Japan, the World Feder• alist organization is very powerful.

Dr. Rudnyckyj believes that language is one of the basic human rights and that everyone has the right to communicate in his own language. During his talk he mentioned three methods of recognizing languages which discourage and even destroy are used in most countries. "A linguistic groups.

Local artists featured at recent exhibition Hedda Gabler: • a review by tuck It was a fine evening, then; m fact, even a delightful one_, if it is considered that much that occurred was unexpected. It took a little time to get over the ini rial shock of hearing one madame in the audience comment, "It must be ninety degrees in here, but I just had to wear my mink," but after effectively separating the Lakehead Theatre Goers from the Lakehead Theatre appreciators, I had very little trouble in settling down to watch the play. The first act seemed to drag somewhat, but I had been given reassurance from a stagehand that it would pick up in the later acts. And it did just that. The interest and subsequently, the proficiency of the actors seemed to rise with the progressing drama of Ibsen's play. Through the third and last act I was carried by the presentation, to the inevitable climax of Hedda Gabler's suicide. Indeed, I had completely forgotten that I was in the Lakehead watching the Cambrian Players. A success it was, showing evidence of much worthwhile work and perhaps more important showing promise of better work to come. Jenny Phillips, playing the lead, exhibited a great deal of poise and confidence as well as great feeling for her part. As I understand, it was her first play, so I look forward with anticipation to her next vennue. Ken Allan in the role of Judge Brack, as always, lent an air of professionalism to the cast and seemed to inspire confidence to the rest of the players whenever he was on stage . Dennis Mills as Jorgen Tessman and Joan Brooker as Thea Elvsted both seemed somewhat unsure of themselves, but as both the parts they played called for rather weak char- , acteri zations, tt made little difference and they improved as the play went on. Elizabeth Arnot and Lyn Pylypiw as the aunt and maid respectively, both played their parts adequately, if somewhat amateurishly. In general, the production spoke well of its director, Pat Wesley. He evidently had much hard work in helping the cast into a familiarity with their parts and this, coupled with the technical side of production, is to be commended. If any suggestions to the improvement of future presentations are to be made, I would recommend that more time be spent in choosing a play, in full consideration ofthe capabilities of the players to be involved. A play chosen to fit the actors. This thought might even lead to the writing of such a play, a totally Lak.ehead produ~tion. Again, then, HEDDA GAB· LER was a success, and also a needed shot of artistic ad1enalin into the arm of our culturally parali zed community.

Murray Smith has done a fine job in the I.C.H.A. scoring race this year. As we went to press he had a 12 point lead on his nearest opponent who had 2 games left. With intercollegiate practice and interfoan sports being played in the fieldhouse, it looks like the building is a good investment. Coach Birger has recently gone on a scouting trip, but he ·won't divulge whether he has picked up any hoopster prospects. •••• There is a big argument among Birger's boys on what to call the new fieldhouse. Among names submitted by the Nor'Wester basketball team are Cameron's Camp, Holman's House, Holmstrom's Homestead, Johnston's Gym (Jim) or Pero's Palace. Congratulations to the cheerleader's once again for their support of teams during the year. It's too bad the students couldn't do the same, I think the great job they did on the one intercollegiate trip they did go on, should entitle them to at least a couple of trips next year. This year's cheerleaders included Sue Haglund, Jo-Ann Pettit, Lois Logozzo, Mary Carol Zuback, Carla Hagstrom, Jean Boyes, Marg Bums and Mary Currie. Thanks to the people of Ashland and of Northland College once again for such a great time on L.U.'s basketball trip. L.U. lost the basketball game 93-67 with Don Holmstrom once again leading the way for L.U. with 21. The L.U. cheerleaders were in excellent foan at the Thunder Bay Association Booster Night last Saturday. The cheerleaders had many new cheers and the crowd appreciated their excellent half time show. After the game the girls held a shower in the gicl's washroom for a certain L.U. player. He really appreciated it and is now planning his revenge. Rob Cameron, played the role as "Hollywooder of the year" managed to take over as coach for a few practices this week. Then he pranced over to the bleachers during the game to chase a ball for the ref. (he just wanted to say hello to a few girl fans) . •••• Mike Wren did an excellent job for the L.U. ski team recently in the O.1.A.A. ski meet. Mike was the top L.U. perfoaner this year after placing second on last year's team. L.U. is now 2 for 2 in OJ.A.A. ski championships. •••• Interfoan basketball is really moving along with the use of the fieldhouse. The top teams so far seem to be Arts 111, the Teachers College and Business. •••• Don't forget the big S.A.S. Athletic Dinner, Friday, March 22Guest speaker will be Father David Bauer. He will also officiate at the dedication of the fieldhouse on Saturday, March 23. •••• Congratulations to Tony Bennett of the L.U .. security staff who was honoured in early February as Fort William's senior sportsman of the year at the Sport's Celebrity Dinner. I did a story on the banquet but along with several other sports stories it wasn't printed, (because the Argus has become the advertiser's haven) so we can have garbage like page nine in the paper. •••• The girls basketball team has done a fine job this year. Four girls made the women's Allstars. They were Judy Perlin, Glenis Holmes, Marita Riekstins and Susan Savage. •••• Confederation College has an open invitation to all students interested in skydiving. Barney Bree is in charge at Confederation. Meetings are held Mondays at 8:30 p.m. at the Northwood High School gym. For more informatjon, contact Barney Bree. •••• We all wish Chad Hannah, managing editor of the Argus, a speedy and healthy recovery from a back injury received in an Argus-A.M.S. hockey game. Chad is at St. Joseph's Hospital in Port Arthur. Drop in and say hello. P .S. Chad has beautiful nurses. •••• Lou Pero of the Nor'Westers scored the first point in the new fieldhouse in a game. The Lakehead University curling team skipped by Bill Andrusco with Larry Eustace lead, Cal Montgomery second, and Tom Fry, (a last minute replacement for Rick Moats, who was forced to stay home for academic reasons) at third, placed third in the Ontario Intercollegiate Athletic Association Curling Championship held at the Terrace Curling Rink in Toronto. In the first draw Friday, Lakehead University met a strong Laurentian University curling team and were defeated 12·6. The second draw appeared to have Lakehead University finding the range on the strange ice as they defeated Trent University 9-7, then met Osgoode Hall in the third draw of the day and defeated them, this time by a 10-8 score. Every match on Friday had the Lakehead University team curling stronger and they continued this trend into the championship • ID curling round on Saturday, when they met Waterloo Lutheran University. This first game of the championship washy farLakehead University's best but they came against brilliant shot making from all members of the Waterloo team and were whipped 14-7 in the 12 end contest. Disaster struck in the ninth end where four missed shots allowed Waterloo to steal four to take a five point lead with only three ends to play. Waterloo then went on to defeat Ryerson, defending champions, who had previously beaten Laurentian University. Osgoode Hall won the consolation championship by fjrst defeating York University, then Trent University. The standings at the conclusion of the tournament was Waterloo first, Ryerson second, Lakehead University third, Laurentian University fourth, Osgoode Hall fifth, Trent sixth, Brock seventh, and York eight. Business downs Science Second place Business downed third place Science by an 11-0 score in the P.A. Arena. Business was led by Bruce Fallen, George Paddington and Brian Kushner, each with two goals, and singles by Laurie Albertini, Terry Paul, Jim Pronger, Allen Hovi and Larry Perrier.

Nor'Wester defeated the Thunder Bay Mens Allstars 53-39. Big Lou played a great all round game scoring 20 points and garnering 22 reb9unds. The game was a rather dull affair in the first half, but livened up in the second half when Pero began to dominate both boards and the L.U. fast breaks began to Fieldhouse open to students The new L. U. athletic building is open now for the use of students. lnterform games are being played there several times during the week but there is also time allotted for free time activities. When all the equipment has been sorted out students will be able to borrow this equipment for the allotted time period of the sport by presenting their student card at the equipment office. By getting a group together for a certain sport, one has only to phone over to reserve the gym for a certain sport if the time is open. Usually there will be time to reserve the gym in the mornings and afternoons during the week. The faculty has a reserve on the court during some of the evenings and most of the other evenings are taken up by interform tennis, volleyball, badminton, and rhythmic gymnastics . Schedules for interform games and free time spots may be obtained by phoning the athletic secretary at extension 213 . take its toll on the slower allstar team. Jim Brownrigg led Alls tar scorers with 14 while Elwin added 11, Love 6, and Trimble and Deblasio potted 4 each. Roy Holman hooped 8 for the Nor'Wester, while"PassP as·s" Cameron had 6, Johnston, Koski and Hebert (Cooch) 4 each, Woods 3 and Andros and Holmstrom, (having a real poor game), 2 each. This marked the completion of the season for L.U. as they finished with a 13-11 mark. In the girls game, die Women's Allstars overpowered a tough C.K.P .R. Duffer team 16-13. L.U. players on the team fared well and along with Eleanor Ward seemed to control the game.

We can readily observe in such persons many disorders that occur to a lesser extent in most of •the population. Though these offenders are usually convicted of property offences, they show signs of serious conflicts about their own sexual identity, and cannot perceive sexual intercourse as part of an interpersonal relationship. The role of sexual inadequacy as one of the interacting causations of criminality has certainly been underestimated. The heterosexual relationships of offenders usually rooted in hostility and, as is always the case in actual rape, the genitals are often used as weapons. Neurotic guilt, which often originates with moral guilt, is usually neutralized by excessive use of ego-defence mechanisms, alcohol, or some other intoxicant. Depression, catego,:ical suicide (social, vocational, academic, etc.), self-depreciation, are also indicative of the resulting poor self-concept, that is associated with overwhelming guilt. Crime and sexuality are indeed expressions of the entire personality and in many cases, the flight into prison is part of systematic retreat from the tensions of everyday life, with which the delinquent cannot cope . Many of those whom we are briefly describing, tend to fluctuate between being controlled by their consciences and being controlled by impulses, ·or to satisfy both psychic institutions simultaneously and unconsciously. As the reader is aware, this is not characteristic of the mature, integrated person who is guided by reality. Nor is it confined to offenders. The person who has an extramarital relationship and feels obligated to fall in love, is also attempting to neutralize guilt feelings by "justifying" the forbidden relationship. There are many unhappy people, especially among the single, separated, and divorced, who may have resorted to some neurotic solution such as frigidity, promiscuity or perversion, largely because o~ the ~xiety they experience in heterosexual relat10nsh1ps. . The repetitiousness of some of the sahent aspects of the affairs of individuals with serious sexual conflicts is also noteworthy. They seem to •be capable of growing out of a certain level of psycho-sexual functioning. The role ?f u_nconscious motivation is evidtnt here. This d1sc;repancy, bet wee~ unwi t~ngl y . inter~ali zed value systems and conscious mtentlons, 1s observable in anti-authoritarians as distant as Freud · and some of the "hippies". The essential conflict is not so much between the individual and cultural values as it is within his own psyche (between his desires and conscience). A common denominator in the difficulties of the sexually inadequate male, is the belief that wom~n are innate} y evil, and therefore to_ be feared. The voyeur-exhibitionist _in the film, "Reflections in a Golden Eye", believed that all women had a dreadful disease. Sexually inadequate women tend to_ have related delusions about men and of theu own sexuality. Such women perceive men as thce~tening . in one way or an~ther. ~nle~s there is an organic disorder, as m 3: ~u~onty _of cases, sexual inadequacy in the mdivid~al is us~ally rooted· in some system of myths, either received directly from the culture, or indirectly through the mediation of family life in childhood. Some of these myths seem to have been handed down from primitive societies, where they were often of economic importance. The one we will refer to, since it is the basis of so much contemporary sexual confusion, is what can be described as the conflicting image of woman as the virgin-prostitute. That is to say that a woman's social position depends on her chastity, or that she is degraded by its loss. (Victorianism can be criticised for making frigidity a virtue). The extent to which this image of woman underlies impotence in married males, as· well as frigidity in females, is amazing. We are all familiar with the type of male who is extremely inhibited in marital intercourse, hut quite potent in sexual relations with prostitutes or women he really despises: Nor is the woman who is cold at home hut responsive abroad, uncommon. Such are examples of individuals who believe that sexual intercourse (even in marriage, because such strongly ingrained attitudes do not disappear with the ceremony) changes a woman from a state of purity, which we will loosely call "virginity", to the defiled state of"prostitution". As is the case in many Victorian-type marriages, the woman comes from the shelf to the rank of other household utilities. Marital disharmony is often further increased if one partner finds sexual satisfaction extramaritally, and especially if progressive indiscretion ensues. I am not condoning sexual licence which is usually practised in the name of sexual freedom. There is an amazing similarity between the values of many, who are overtly sexual radicals and the rigidity that they consciously oppose. Creative thinkers have repeatedly questioned whether man has made any real progress. It is acknowledged that we are physically more comfortable in many places. Levi Strauss, the French Ethnologist, Franz Boaz, the Cultural Anthropologist, Sigmund Freud and other eminent students of mankind indicated that this is questioflahle. The Bible said that we have all sinned and do not deserve God's glory (and I presume it means we will continue to). And yet, despite the persistence of ·widespread adversity, "".e see~ to have allowed ourselves to ·be deluded mto thmking that we have made genuine progress. But that's another story. Let us look at some examples of ·"unhealthy" sexual beliefs among primitives and possible links with some contemporary views. The reader is no doubt aware that impotence occurs also in primitive societies (so atavistic regression is no solution - intended to be funny). I will refer to two of early man's beliefs that seem relevant (from Virginity by Ottokar Nemecek). 1. that evil spirits could enter the body through orifices. 2. that nuptial and menstrual blood were magically potent. In Equatorial Congo, it is believed that the ringing of a hell could ward off evil spirits, ~o women in this region wear bells near theu genitals. Belief in the magical power of virginity is illustrated by fertility magic rites. The Phoenicians sacrificed° a virgin .-:>n important occasions. To he admitted to the Roman Vestals, a girl had to he 6 to IO years old (and I presume she would he chaste). In ·Medieval times virgins were believe!J, to he immune to demonaic powers. There are many other such examples. Primitive man believed that drinking the blood of an animal gave the individual the animal's characteristics, since the life of the animal was in its blood. As the reader may know, Roman epileptics drank the blood of gladiators and blood was prescribed as medication in Byzantium and Medieval France among other places. When first-horns were being slaughtered in Egypt (according to the Bible), sprinkling blood on the doorposts was protective. The brotherhood of blood is both practised and symbolised in many .conlemporary societies. Blood letting became a revered activity. MenstruaJ blood has been greatly feared from primitJve times especially in patriarchal societies. Pliny wrote to the effect that if a menstruating woman came into contact with wine it would sour; that grafting and cuttings would wither, that a mirror would loose its brilliance and an iron blade would become dull. In Judaism, and to a less exten't Christianity, after childpirth a woman had to he .purified before entering the temple. The Lebanese believed that if a menstruating woman cast her eyes on a snake, it would wander·off and die. This brief excursion is intended to exemplify the fear and reverence ·that primitive man had ·for blood, body orifices and women. These interrelated attitudes were rooted largely in magical thinking which, to primitive man, was of economic importance (in the general sense). Though scientific understanding has dispelled the basis for these ideas, some of the incidental taboos have been transmitted to civilized man. Let us glimpse at one of the religiocultural vehicles. It is well known that the Council of Trent of first century Christianity damned anyone who felt that marriage was a better state than virginity or eel ehacy. The en tire J udaeo-Chris tian tradition has tended to enforce excessive sexual inhibitions. In some denominations, religious leaders are not permitted to marry, despite the Church's sanction of marriage. Thus , as in Bonanza, those who are presented ashaving attained the highest ideals , ar-e sexually inactive. Medieval Church values still form the foundation of many ci vii laws, especially those governing sexual behavior. Victorianism was in the same repressive tradition. We have retained this attitude at the cultural and individual 1evel partly as the conflicting image of woman mentioned earlier. The misconception that loss of chastity has a magical meaning, underlies some contemporary falsities about sexuality . This myth should have been buried with the un-scientific era to which it belonged. It has been a source of dis tress throughout the ages, and does not seem to have contributed significantly to morality. Lest the reader misinterpret this asan advocation of promiscuity , I wish to restate that I do not believe that individual or cultural sexual conflicts can be resolved by licence , promiscuity, or frigidity or any other neurotic system of behaviour. What seems to be needed is a consistent and enlightened approach, based ultimately on an understanding and acceptance of the total person. I feel that what is known about sexuality should receive much better representation in cultural values and the law. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Tamblyn said Monday, "Dean Rothney has asked for a sabbatical leave and I have granted it subject to finding a suitable replacement". As to a possible successor, President Tamblyn said he was looking into it. The purpose of a sabbatical leave is to allow a professor to catch up with the latest developments in his field. In the case of a Dean, such a leave also "removes the temptation to breathe down the neck of their - successor during the first year of the new regime." (Duff-Berdahl Report) Dean Rothney said he had three offers to write books: one on the history of Newfoundland, another on the history of the Union Nationale Party in Quebec and a third, a textbook on International Affairs _in the in the 20th century. With possible reference to the recent Harding incident, Dr. Rothney commented, "I like reading mythology especially ' Dean G. O. Rothney when -it's well written."

Lakehead University was never sure of victory until the final tabulations were complete. and 2,000 l,Jniversity of New Brunswick students in Fredericton are expected to join the mar.ch, • along with Moncton's affiliated College De Bathurst, and students from Mount Allison and other universities in the province. Asked about the possibility of sympathy strikes at other universities Richard said: "On a question like this solidarity among students would help a lot.'' But if it doesn't materialize he won't be disappointed: "We started this strike alone and we'll go through with it to the end,'' he said. He said the faculty have supported the students, and met with the ,Premier and the Minister of Education, Monday. Results of the meeting are not yet known. He said the students will organize study sessions Wednesday to consider the Govern- ment' s reaction to the brief presented Tuesday. They will hold a vote that afternoon, he said, when students will be able to decide if they wish to end the strike or if they wish to continue. But he pointed out this would be a student decision, not that of the student executive alone. He said students conducted peaceful demonstrations in Moncton Monday "to let the people of the city know we're still on strike--to make them aware that what is going on is serious business." University President Adelard Savoie last week said students who miss lectures Thursday or later will have to make them up in their spare time or they won't be allowed to write final exams. But Richard said the Student Union will negotiate with the University on this. He said it would be pointless to strike if In the first race, the Slalom, Lakehead University placed first, six points ahead of Trent University but the second race, the Giant Slalom, was a complete reversal for the Lakehead University five.

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

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

However, the recent "garbage" as inscribed on the walls of the "great white way" has prompted this short denunciation.

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

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

Herein lies a crucial point. C ication have been established b • Justice m the year by W. Roman intellectuals. He also wrote a book that has found its way to the west, via underground channels. Reference to this wodc which was passed hand to hand in the Ukraine, was made by Mr. John Kolasky of Toronto, a Canadian Communist who was studying at the Higher Party School of the Central Committee in Kiev, and who managed to get hold of the underground circulating petition. Mr. Kolasky, who joined the Canadian Communist Party 30 years ago and is still a member, says, that in essence the charges of illegality and of genocide ~e true. Mr. Kolasky says that he was collecting material on how the Soviets are trying to destroy the Ukrainian cWture and replace it with Russian. Kolasky says that the KGB held him for two weeks for questioning and confiscated all his papers when they caught him with the petition. Chomovil•s book, including the petition, although not yet available in Engli.sh has been published in Ukrainian and is significant for a numbe( of reasons. First, it says that the petition which Karavansky wrote is based on Leninist principles, the Soviet constitution, and Soviet law, all of which guarantee sovereignty to the Soviet republics and rights to their nationali- �dying•· but the good guys, the ys make it ·in the end . .And it creating stories .to show how e losers were.

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

Why n_iust their deaths, as their lives before death, be exploited? It 1s a rotten society that uses killing and death to sell, always tQ sell. Now another man's armed revolutio1i"is being fought for him. This time, though, the big man with the _heavy boots is wrong. He kills humans, backward inhabitants and his own young men, for a cause so remote yet so fabian in nature. He kills to build up an economy; he kills to keep America free. And in killing he draws the noose ever tighter on his trusting electorate's neck. People cry Red, and a thousand itard heels crush a . man's skull. People cry Freedom, and black men die. People cry Strike, and fat men sweat. And who is their god but a soft metal. "Look South, baby, and think" "Damn the establishment and the Administration" the wall said further on down the way.

Channels (so-called) of communtor messages of great commercial ication have been established between students, faculty, and administration; all three concerns seat members on committees to discuss issues. But hierarchies seize these opportunities to better their own positions. When hierarchical structures become egocentric, so much so that any progressive action they will take will be mere tokenism, as far as the overall majority i concerned. Hence writing on the walls, a venting of frustratio and anger at narcissistic systems . When institutions become so infatuated with themselves that they lose sight of the end they were set up to achieve, and become ends in themselves, these institutions no longer have any relevance, and must be replaced. Further, if an institution fails to perform its function as a means to an end, it cannot hell! but jeopardize those who would place a measure of trust in it This is the case of administrations in universities today. They are the general caretakers of the university, handling matters which the academics, faculty and students, neither care about nor ever know about. Administration is a necessary part of a large education factory; it mothers the university. But when it decides on academic matters, basing its decisions on relative supply and demand values, it oversteps its authority. When it interferes in education by not ~lowing students to study wha they want. when it tells students what they may and what thei may not study, it ceases to perform a useful function, and i1 must be changed. The same qualification is true in the case of student adminif tration. When the end is lost in internal intrigue, the institutio must change. Change is the basic factor, necessary for a successful struc ture. A system based on chang.e is the only solution.

He also wrote a book that has found its way to the ,est, via underground channels. Reference to this wotk which 1as passed hand to hand in the Ukraine, was made by Mr. John .olasky of Toronto, a Canadian Communist who was studying at Je Higher Party School of the Central Committee in Kiev, and •ho managed to get hold of the underground circulating petition. .r. Kolasky, who joined the Canadian Communist Party 30 years go and i s still a member, says, that in essence the charges of legality and of genocide are true. Mr. Kolasky says that he was :>lleeting material on how the Soviets are trying to destroy the krainian culture and reyla~e it with Russian. Kolasky says 1at the KGB held him for two weeks for questioning and conseated all his papers when they caught him with the petition. Chomoyil•s book, including the petition, although not yet ,ailable ,in Engli,sh has been published in Ukrainian and is gnificant for a numbei: of reasons. First, it says that the !tition which Karavansky wrote is based on Leninist principles, e Soviet constitution, and Soviet law, all of which guarantee ,vereignty to the Soviet republics and rights to their nationali- Petryshyn ties. Using these legal channels, Karavansky ·accuses and proves the State of condoning and encouraging discrimination. Secondly, it is significantly important that this manuscript has been compiled by a person born and raised under the Communist system and a card carrying member of the Party and not an opponent of the Soviet regime. Thirdly, Chomovil in writing this book was consciously aware that his action would put him into prison, as well as ruin his life career. From all sides, theJ efore, Chomovil's action for the twenty intellectuals is an act of co"-rage. In I the summer and falJ of 1965, there were waves of arrests throughout the Ukraine as well as other Eastern European countries. Six months later these writers, a,rtists, teachers and scjentists were brought to secret trial, which under the Soviet Constitution~is illegal. Moreover, in some cases lawyers were not allowed toi:-the defendent (Eg. Mikhailo Horyn), and families were not notified until after the sentencing (eg. Mikhailo Masiutko).

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

February third is the final day for spring break stgn-ups. $1551.00. support. funding and collaboration betweenLUSU and the Gender Issues CoOrdinator are to blame for problems surrounding LUSU's new Gender Issues Centre. Students are frustrated by the centre not being open when they need to use it during regular school hours. Blame can be mostly laid on LUSU. Due to financial restraints. the Board of Directors and the Financial Management Committee decided to only hire a part time Co-ordinator for the centre. Valerie Lelleva. the person hired, has been working for the required 15 hours per week since the summer and more. As a result Lelleva was given vacation time during the week before and the two weeks after the Christmas Break. At the January 16. 1992 Board of Directors meeting. a motion was put forth by Cass Koenen. V.P. Student Issues. to increase Lelleva's status to full time. The motion was put on hold until a full evaluation ofthe centre is completed. Currently. Lelleva is in the centre for ftve hours per day for three days a week. On the other two days it was hoped that volunteers would keep the centre open. nus has not been the case to date. According to Koenen. U):SUhoped that the "centre would be able to be open fullUme with volunteer support. but unfortunately we haven't had that base support around." Lelleva agrees adding that the volunteers who did work in the centre were unsupervised and not really clear on what they had to do. Another major problem cited by Lelleva was a lack of "collaboration between Cass and myself." According to Koenen. the major problem is confusion caused by a lack of advertising. she stated "I think that ... we haven't advertised it enough. I'm not sure everybody knows why its there and what out there for."

Confederation College students can no longer enter the Outpost just by showing the pub staff their student cards. The motion passed at the last LUSU Board meeting states that any non-Lakehead student must pay a $2.00 cover charge to enter the pub. Unfortunately, non-LU students include staffand alumni. The motion passed 18/2. Opposed to the motion were Ian Middleton, who voted by proxy, and Sara Friar. Ttm Fleguel and Robin Squires also opposed the motion, yet neither were present for the vote. Greg Beckford and cass Koenen put forth the motion. Beckford supported the motion I with a 500 name petition signed by students living In residence. Jeft'Dockerty, pub manager, commented that this was a good motion in some respects. Dockerty argued It would be in the Outpost's interest if Sharky's (Con College's pub) were to stay open, as the two barssplitthecostsofimporttng various groups or comedians. Dockerty also felt that people would come to The Outpost, even ff they have to pay the $2 cover charge, as the pub is a popular novelty in Thunder Bay. However, as a long term arrangement. this policy could be damaging. Dockerty pointed out this would be one of the vecy few pubs in Ontario that have a cover charge, and that could hurt business during the spring break and especially during the summer. He commented thatasLU students go home for the break, and students from Thunder Bay, attendingotheruniversitles, come home, there will be a drop in business, as no one is here to sign in the non-LU students. Board member Friar said, "The repercussions of this motion should be thoroughly investigated before any Irrevocable diun1gc ts done to the important relationship between LU and Con College (students). I wouldn't tell my best friend off over a drink.• ... , PUB ,RESTRICTIONS CONDEMNED BY LUSU PRESIDENT byR. Murphy Ian Middleton, Lakehead University Student Union (LUSU)presldent, condemned the LUSU Board of Directors (BOD) motion to raise barriers to admission to The Outpost, the LUSU operated pub in the new Students Centre. He was unable to attend the meeting, Januacy 23, 1992, because of his attendance at an Ontario Federation of Students conference at the University of Guelph, but did cast one of two dissenting votes by proxy. In an interview after reading the minutes, Middleton remarked that, as the motion currently reads, • ... this means that at any time, faculty and staffhave to pay $2 to come in here (The Outpost) ... the Chairman of The Board of Governors, who technically owns this building, can'tcometnherewithout paying $2. Bob Rosehart (Lakehead University President) can't come in here for a coffee unless he pays $2. There is no time limit.• Middleton was referring to the fact that there is no mention of hours of enforcement in the new LUSU Outpostpolicy'Technically it (the policy) came into force as soon as it passed the board• "I have lived here 1n Thunder Bay all my life. Some high school friends went to work, some went to other universities, some went to Con (Confederation) College. LUSU ts telling me that I can't bring my best friend in here (The Outpost) without them paying the $2. This motion is a slap in the face of evecy student from Thunder Bay.• Middleton made a reference to Alumni by saying that •:.some of whom have paid much more tbward'ti 'tlie 'Sttlctc!rttii . :.C!ntft! • than any first year student, cannot come in here without paying $2 and being signed in?I• Middleton also attacked the motion because of the lack of consultation with the students and other interested groups, when this policy was being considered •.. administration, who holds the liquor license, was not consulted. There was no consultation with Confederation College Students Union. What happens in the summerttmer Middleton also questioned the residence angle--• ...where will all the residence students bethenr Mtddletonalsoreferred to The Study, which was the notoriously crowded pub operated by LUSU before The Outpost opened. 'There was no outccy then ... • said Middleton. ·1 don'tknowaboutMcMaster orTrent (universities), because I have not been there, but I have not been to any other (postsecondaiy) institution in Ontario that does this. Only grad student associations tend to do this.• He explained that for many years LUSU has tried to foster closer relations with the Confederation College student's union and that this motion does nothing to help. Middleton said, "We have visited their Board of Directors and, with their president, made joint presentations toThunder Bay City Council. We made one about student fares for dty transit, and one to form a committee to develop affordable student housing. The housing proposal was rejected so we formed our own committee that includes representatives from the administrations of both institutions. For years we have tried to work out a reciprocity agreement over athletic f'acilities. It is currently 1n place for faculty and staff.• Middleton has decided not to seek office again next year, but will be working toward the reevaluation of this policy.

And so, on Friday the 24th, over fifty angxy Con College students were turned away at the door. And those fifty students took with them when they left a new image of the Outpost. No more is it, to them, a great place to go and drink and dance and spend their money. It is now a place reserved for the privileged few who hold L.U. student cards.

L.U. studentshad better start signing Confederation College students in. Because until now, the College students have been let in at par with L. U. students. And in one fateful vote at the LUSU Board of Directors meeting on Thursday the 23rd, that privilege was taken away. Not because it was being misused. But because the lineups on the weekends were too long after eight o'clock; and L.U. students couldn't get into their own bar. So now, on all Thursday nights, and on all weekend nights when the varsity basketball team is playing at home, Con College students must be signed in in order to gain entrance.

La.st year fan support was awesome, and even though I wasn't a student I attended, and had a great time. The first couple of games this year did lack fan support, but this past weekend's games were super! I have only one small problem with the fans, thatl've noticed through two years of attending the games. IfLU is losing near the end, eveiyone gets up and leaves.

Darren Foulds SUPPORT CAN SORT Letter to the Editor: No, thisfsn'tanothercomplafnt about the Outpost. and it's not really directed to the Argus itself. Quite sfmp)y tt•s a letter directed to the maaaes. In Southern Ontario recycling is now commonplace, most of the population is aware and is able to recycle aluminum, steel, glaaa, plastic, and paper. However, this is not ao ro.- Thunder Bay; because the dty is so ISOiated this has proven quite ari obstacle in getting a full recycling program underway.

On another note, whether it's just apathy (but rd rather believe it's Just plafn1gnorance) students here at LU. have no concept of what happens to the cans after they're placed into the appropriate bins. VIDEO -? Regarding my concerns regarding the monies generated by video games. The reply by Cass Koenen, Vice-President Student Issues confirms my concerns over theapparentlackofcontrolsLUSU has over the entire video game operation. I am nm. concerned and may I repeat. I am nm concerned whose machines and pool tables at LU. I am only concerned over the lack of controls which should be present in any business operation whtch deals in cash in the thousands of dollars. Presently, as indicated, these are no controls in effect except for a 'superficial' check of materials. How does LU "check" the return on pool tables? Tony LeBlanc mentioned the difference in monies generated by thepresentvendorversus the previous vendor. l believe this figure is an error and not taken from the books. Regardless, Tony does not indicate that the previous vendor was only allowed 10 machines versus today's 30 or 40 plus the enrolment is approximately 50% higher today than previously. If this is prorated, is LU receiving maximum return per machine as previously? As indicated earlier, let's be sure maximum dollars are being generated for the students. Any well_run professional business does not run on trust, They run on controls. As a suggestion, LUSU should keep their own records, sheetswith meter numbers recorded weekly in the presence ofvending people during pick-up of monies. Monies from pool tables should be picked up in labelled bags and rolled in the presence of L-U,Su reps immediately after plck-up. Surely, the hour necessaiy to put these controls in operations are worth the time and effort to assure proper collection and asse8Sment for now and in the future. In God we trust, maybeworks for Americans but good business sense is to limit or elfmfnate trust and temptation. C'mon WSUI We are future leaders of Canada.

ROCK THE VOTE! -MTV Student Perspective T!!J~!J!'!l.~<?n~'!!!~~ a system of social organization based on the ideals of domination and competition rather than co-operation have produced an ecological crisis that threatens our very existence. Humanity is now faced with a crisis that transcends theboundariesofanyonefteldofstudy. Thesolutiontothis many faceted problem lies not only in rectifying the abuses in the ecological domain but more importantly, in assessing the ideological faults of the social, political and economic domains. The class structure of society is a competitive hierarchy: each level of the hierarchy continually strives to outcompete each other to maintain or increase its influence and power on each successive layer. Our political system is a reflection of this competitiveness; It is a system we call capitalism, orfree enterprise. In North.America this system - of political organization tends to be dangerously headIng towards a plutocracy rather than evolving into an egalitarian d~mocracy. Competitive free enterprise is retarding the process of social and political evolution. In our society the values of mutual co-operation, spiritual satisfaction and intellectual development have been stifled and even replaced by economic competition. material satisfaction as a means to happiness and the repression of the intellect, denying its development to be an integral part of the development of the whole self. The void of intellectual development has been filled with what can be referred to as )unk ideas•, intellectually comparable to the.nutiitive emptiness ofJunk food. This junk ideas are the mindless media productions on our television and radio, which are meant only to reinforce our sense of security in what the capitalist state considers socially and morally right. The people who hold positions of power and wealth in today's society are completely dependent on the preservation of the system of domination and of social and economic inequality to maintain their positions of power and wealth. In doing so, they advance the complexly intertwined ecological and social crisis to appalling and dangerous proportions. The greatest threat to this system of social, political and economic inequality is the development of the individual's ability to reason, to critically assess every aspect of society which the bulk of humanity has formerly accepted unquestioned as being the unalterable laws governing our existence. Our political system allows for a very small proportion of society to control a very large portion of its wealth; there is social inequality and injustice. human beings have become commodl8ed, reduced to an equation and absorbed into the colossal machinery of the capitalist system. Reason and critical thought shows us that this system of intellectual and social repression should not and will not indefinitely exist. It ls therefore in the best interest of the ruling class to stifle intellectual development, because it threatens the existence of that very class. Our schools do not teach us critical thought or reason. rather, we are taught to function within the system. how to think like the status quo and at the same time it offers humanitywith the-greatest opportunity for ecological and social salvation. Our own freedom rests in our ability to free ourselves from the confines and constraints. both physical and intellectu.al. of the existing intellectually repressive system. We stand on the threshold of the greatest social revolution of all time, rectifying our ecological abuses is a healing process that transcends the boundaries of any one field.. The healing of the Earth involves eliminating poverty. social inequality, economic abuse and above all replacing ignorance with enlightenment, exchanging blind acceptance with questioning and substituting intuition with reasoning. This next social revolution offers humanity with the opportunity for true equality and happiness. British conservationist Norman Moore said it best when he said that the universal acceptance of conservation ls one of the most potent political forces since Mamsm. but one that wlll ultimately unite rather than divide humanity. OlqfJensen I I ELECTION -PREDICTIONS 3:25 A.M. Less than half an hour ago I saved a new file in place. of my800word editorial. Irresponsibleyes. Correctable No. 11:·s probably unprofessional to even be discussing this in print, but Ijust thought I'd let you lmow I had tried. Here's a quick summary. The LUSU elections for the Executive will be held Febmary 4 & 5 next week. 13 people are running for three positions. Show you care, educate yourself, read the Argus, phone the candidate etc. Don't forget to vote. Turnout last year was approximately 18%. Let's get off this apathy train. Here's a list of suspected results going in to the candidate's forum yester.day (projected by committee). President: VP Finance: VP Stud~t Issues: Koenen, Cass Tougas, Tanya Fisher, Christine Moniz, Paul Tilbury, Mark Grice, Craig George, Peter Dawdy, Tim Walsh, Colin Torry, Brian Hergott, Mike Klimushko, Chris Matthews. Adam Aft~r the forum, the deck was shuffled a bit based on performance. President: Koenen is still the candidate to beat. Moniz and Tony are the main challengers. George has slipped. and Matthews may not be able to climb out of last place after alienating certain clubs. VP - F: Tilbury staged a strong charge and has made this essentially a two way race between himself and Tougas. Dawdy and Hergottmade a good showingforthemselves but a win seems unlikely at this point. VP - SI: Fisher's strong base in rez could carry her. but an unspectacular forum performance has opened the door for a dark horse candidate such as Walsh orKlimushkotomake a surprising breakthrough. Grice was inconsistent. In this race fourth is as hard to call as first. This could be the most interesting race. The vote is less than a week away. and political fortunes can rise and fall many times in just a few days. Early indications point towards an all female executive, but we won't lmow for sure until Wednesday night. The results will be available in the Argus next Thursday. TGB VOTE! 3:42AM (327words) POTENTIAL ELECTION PROBLEM Argus News Staff Editorial/News Item Questions have been raised regarding the "Tougas Two Buck" coupon being used by VP Finance Candidate Tanya Tougas on the flipside of her election handbills. Each handbill contains a $2.00 coupon on it that can be redeemedatalocalrecordstoiefromFebruary 10-22, 1992. The questions raised in regards to this questioned whether this campaign was akin to "pork barrel politics" or "vote buying". If this is in fact the case, evidence indicates that Tougas, . an aclmowledged frontrunner, is not at fault. ln a conversation with an Argus reporter Tougas pointed out that her campaign idea was cleared by the LUSU Elections Committee. a fact confirmed by Chief Returning Officer Rick Cox. When Cox was asked about the "vote buying" allegation. he said that the coupon did not contravene specific LUSU policy regarding elections. He also aclmowledged that the Election Committee did not confirm the legality of this practice with the Ontario Elections Act. Tougas printed approximately 600 coupons. but she says that she has not distributed them in wide quantities yet. She also mentioned that if one of her fellow candidates had a problem with them she would not distribute them on campus.

CP'S SPORTS EATING TIP The recent candidates forum reminded me of a vigorous hockey game in the Montreal Forum. Although i've never witnessed a game in the Forum. i felt invigorated during the forum. Canada Dry ginger ale: Good forum-in and forum-out. by Ian T. Fero As a little side bet between Travis and myself concerning our official predictions on Super Bowl XXVI. in last weeks issue, we decided that the loser would write a review of the game, hence the burden has fallen upon my shoulders. First of all I would like to apologize for a brutal prediction on my part, an NFL guru it seems I am not. From the outset the game was a lock for the 'Skins. The way I see it was a combination of ,the Redskins doing everything they needed to do. and the Bills doing everything they shouldn't have. The hoITid performance of the Bills seems to stem from three factors: 1) Jim Kelly-I knew when I saw him running out on to the field that he Just wasn't primed. he never was. He threw a Super Bowl record four INT s to an opportunistic 'Skins defence and was 0 • never able to hit his receiversfor any real gains, as well Kelly could assemble no prolonged drives. 2) Thurman Thomas-was he in the bloody game? I didn•t even notice him. The self proclaimed "MichaelJordan of the Bills" did absolutely nothingtoliveuptohisown billing. I feel bad for picking him as a decisive factor. 3) The inability ·of the defence to shut down the Mark Rypien passing attack. I totally underestimated Rypien and the Posse, you•d think the Bills would have figured out the 'Skins pass orientated offence but they didn't. The Bills may have the best front seven in the NFL, but the other four were brutal although the line managed to put some quality pressure on Rypien. It seems Travis had the correct formula for success in predictlngWashington's decisive factors. unlike myself who seemed to devise an idealistic game plan. if the Bills could have done half of what I thought they were going to it would have been a lot closer. Oh well! I hope none ofyou readers lost money on my account. Hats off to Rypien and the 'Skins. as well as my colleague Mr. Belrose. All I have to say is watch out for the Lions in '93.

They feel that If they are elected, then they could work together and get things doril : _ Tony opposed the pub policy ofchargtnga $2 cover charge to all non-LU students. Tony felt that this was insulting towards the Confederation College students and all those living in Thunder Bay. He also said that it was bad bustness, as we need the Con College student dollars in the Pub, especiallyin the summermonths, when there are few LU students to gtve the place business. Tony felt that because of this and other problems on campus, LU's reputation in Thunder Bay is not as good as it could be. Peter George. George. who was appointed to the BOD on February 14 of last school year. George said that he sits on the Flnancial Management Committee (FMC) and Policy Development and Review (PD&R). and various Senate committees. George supported such things as Study renovation, and said he suggested to Tony LeBlanc that a student work program be initiated to do the work on the Study. The collective agreement with the unions on campus state that this work is to be done by union people. George said that he opposed the WUSC program that would sponsor two refugee students to attend LU. He said that he could not agree with a program that wastes$11,000ofstudentmoney. The WUSC proposal asks for $6,000 over a two year period, meantngLUSU would have to pay $3,000 next year. Steary, Noel Ward, n-<Wis Belrose. VP J'Df.Al'fCE: 11mDawdy. He ts a second year rep for LU Business Association, and a BOD member this year. After a brief explanation of his qualitlcations, Dawdy proceeded to explain his goals for LUSU as an executive. Dawdy supported the $15,000 plan for. a proposed climbingwall, which was put forth to the BOD by the Alpine Club on Januaiy 16. No vote was taken on the proposal. Dawdy argued that at the beginning of the year we paid a (sic) $75 student fee. For this reason, he felt that prices in the pub should be lowered, and more entertainment should be offered in the pub, and some of that should be free. Dawdy supported the Travel Cuts office at Lakehead University. Mike Hergott. "Vote for Hair," was repeated by the second candidate of the "Hair Slate." Hergott, a second year Outdoor Recreation student, promised his support for clubs. He felt this support should not necessarily mean the funding of these clubs. Each club on campus should be able to fund-raise, yet Hergott stated that he would continue to fund LU clubs. Cue Koenen. Pete George Prez Cass Koenen Prez Koenen opened with a list of qualiftcations for the Job as LUSU president. Koenen has been on the BOD for two years, and this year she sezved as VP Student Issues. She also sits on PD&R, and is an active member on many other committees and organizations, like SUDS and COCA. Koenen announced that her main priority would be to fight high tuition for the student body as a lobbyist. Koenen also said she would like to work with city council to improve the situation for students in Thunder Bay. When listing her accomplishments, Koenen cited the Mentor , Program, whichshesaidshewould like to see continued. Adam Matthews. Matthews admitted that he had no experience with LUSU and student politics, but he said that this would give him a fresh unbiased perspective as President. Matthews supported LUSU's new pub policy, which limlts non-LU students, saying thattt can create a yearly income of $15,000 to supplement the Pub's million dollar budget. Matthews said that he applled foraJobattheOutpost.yethewas turned down. Matthews, who manages a similar operation at home, felt that he was turned down because his knowledge of pub operations may conflict with that of the pub manager. Matthews also supported the climbing wall which was proposed to LUSU recently, yet not voted on. Matthews felt that this would increase enrolment in Outdoor Recreation. Administration has placed a cap on enrolment in this school, as it ts already full. Throughout his sp~ech, Matthews campaigned against vandalism. Paul Moniz. Moniz, who has sat on the BOD for two years, was a CFS and OFS delegate, and sits on several committees, including FMC. Moniz wishes to see a Travel Cuts office created on campus. This office deals with various companies to offer student travel discounts. Many Thunder Bay business have previously stated that , they would not give Travel Cuts any special consideration. Also, in order for Travel Cuts to consider an office, they must be guaranteed $2 million in sales, which LU cannot provide. Moniz also promised he would campatgnforcheaperstudentbus passes.

On the spacing issue, Tilbwy felt that the .Aesthetics Lounge could be turned into good club space. This area has been noted for its poor ventilation. and it has been suggested asa possible sight fortheproposedPeerCouncilcentre. Tilbwy also felt that the office of Summer Manager should be created for clubs. He commented that AIESEC benefited from such a post. The hiring of 30 Summer Managers for each club on campus could prove to be an expensive venture. Tilbury comqiented on the problem with the Student Handbooks being so late. He felt that LUSU using a firm that was farther away from Thunder Bay was irresponsible. Ifa nearby firm wold have been used then the books would have been available sooner. The main reason provided by the LUSU executive was that this year's firm was used because they printed the books on recyclable paper. Tanya Tougas.

H.B. All the candidates at the Forum agreed they would work closely with the auditors, as they consider their recommendation invaluable. All of the candidates also agreed on the issue of clubs. They would like to see the clubs get involved more on their own fund-raising, yet they promised flnancial or moral support for all LU clubs. W STUDENT ISSUES: Christine Fisher. Flsherbeganbyexplaintngthe experience that she has accumulated as a leading figure in residence. She was the Residence Programmer and was heavily involved in Orientation. She also has experience on various committees and she stt.s as a student senator. Immediately, Ftsherrewgnised the problem with the professor evaluation forms, whichare being abused and misused by the staff. Fisher would like to see these forms becoming important in the evaluation of profs by the deans. yet she admitted this would be hard work, but she was committed to it. Fisher was also embarrassed at the lack of wheelchair accessabillty in the university. She commented that she would like to see something done, spectflcally, an elevator made available so that disabled students can go from the Agora to the cafeteria without any problem. Craig Grice. Grice commented on the problem of vandalism and the image thatiscreatinginthemindsofthe citizens of Thunder Bay. He also felt the pub policywas disgraceful and a slap in the face not to Just Confederation College students, but of university students evecywhere. Grice also complained about he poor advertising of the Winter :::arruval, and commented on how >f all the classes that he had lisited, only a handful ofstudents Nere aware of the events of that :fay, and only one knew how to register for specific events. GricecomplainedaboutVersa Foods, accusing them of wasting food that could be donated to shelters in Thunder Bay. Grlce's final comments were on orientation. Grice felt that orientation was good for those living in restdence, yet those living offcampus were left out. and have no idea of what ts going on. Here, Grice felt that the faculty could announce what ts going on over the orientation period. Chris Klimusbko.

Therefore, time-management is crucial. A WORDY CANDIDATE" 11 Cass Koenen TWO MAJOR CAMPUS ISSUES The vandalism that ts occurring on campus this year has to be one of the largest issues we have had to deal with. The violence and destruction that is occurring ts costing the University and the students of this University more and more money every month. In the past there has always been a history of what has been thought to be act of drunken stupidity. This year however we have seen an increasing number ofdeliberate acts, such as the destruction of the entrance signs. It is important that we as students take pride in our University and all :work together to help stop this wave of vandalism. In a time where the government has cut back it's funding towards Universities we can •not afford to be spending our money on senseless vandalism. The other Issue that is facing the University ts the cutbacks in transfer payments from the government and the seven percent increase in tuition. This past fall, the government "clawed back" money that had already been promised to the University. Last Tuesday the Rae Government announced that they were only increasing the transfer payments to one percent this year and two perrent for the next two years, tuition was also raised another seven percent. This Will put the University in a very tight financial situation. What it will mean to the students of Lakehead is a cut back in services and freeze in the hiring of staff and faculty. The tuition increase was only announced for one year, however the transfer payments were announced over a three year period. This will cause the Ontario Council of Universities, the Unions.the faculty associations etc. to put pressure on the government to increase tuition again next year and the year after that to make up for the shortfall. PERCEPTION OF THE RELATIONSHIP The relationship between the students and the President of the Student Union ts one where the President acts as a spokesperson and negotiator on behalf of the Students with administration and the Community. It ts very important that the President ts aware of what the students on campus are feeling and what their needs are. The President often is the sole representative on Administrative committees and it is important the s \he represents the views of the students accurately. As well the president acts on behalf of the students in the community at large, the city council and both the Federal and Provincial governments. It is the responsibility of the President to fight council for Student Bus passes, and affordable student housing, to lobby the government against tuition increases and to make administration aware of what the students of this campus need. I feel that it is the responsibillty of the President to make the students on campus aware ofwhat and who WSU is ~d what the Student Union does for them. . Through the various conferences, both the Canadian Federation ofStudents and the Ontario Federation of Students, and by sitting on Senate Executive and the Decanal Search Committee that ts looking into the restructuring of the department of Professional Studies, I feel.that I have already established these llnes of communication and that this experience would be invaluable in the upcoming year. GOALS In the coming year I would continue to work on several projects that have already been started, those being the student bus pass and affordable student housing. I feel that coalition building between the faculty association and the other Unions on campus is going to become increasingly important as we need their support to keep tuition increases to zero over the next three years and .I would work towards building those relationships. With the OUTPOST doing as much business as it has over the last four months I feel that it ts important that LUSU looks at future of our business and begin to make some long distance financial planning for our operations. Last year during orientation I started the ground work for a program of pairing first year off-campus students with upper year ~tudents. In the coming year I would like to work towards improvtng this program and to generally make off-campus students feel more apart of the University community in general. Finally, I also will continue to lobby the University for a safer, more secure environment. ,B EST/WORST QUALITY I feel that my worst quality is being impatient. I tend to want to do too much myself and have to ,earn to delegate tasks to others. Over the last year I have gotten better, but could still improve some. My best quality is the abillty to communicate with administration what the students on this campus need. I have been able to develop the skills necessary to lobby admintstratlon in•a professional and effective manner. The networking that I have done over the past year has been able to help me seive the students better. 11 11 '' Adam Matthews TWO MAJOR CAMPUS ISSUES IT S THAT SIMPLE? 11 JMreiyone knows that there are numerous issues to be looked at and dealt with in order to help our students. My major concerns have to deal with the cost of tuition and also affordable housing. Tuition pri_c es and housing costs are increasing every year and numerous people feel there is nothing they can do about it, well they're wrong! If I'm elected 111 show you how to do it! -=PERCEPTION OF THE RELATIONSHIP I feel that the president ofLUSU should be there at all times for the students. The LUSU president ts a voice for the students and in o~~r for the president to voice the students opinions there has to be a constant flow of communlcatiori. I am prepared to listen and treat each student concern on an PRESl'DENTIAL GOALS Every candidate proposes numerous goals which they promise to achieve in the upcoming year, knowing that there is only a few capable of achieving! Myself on the other hand would like to see an end to the increasing amount ofvandalism, because let's face it it's a waste of our money! Ifl have to go as far as to patrol the campus myself to catch the vandals I will! Also let's work toward a Varsity team that the spectators and players of LU have been waiting for for years ... HOCKEY! BEST WORST QUALITY My best and worst quality fall into the same bracket. being that I don't quit. When I see something capable of achieving I go after it until I achieve it even if it gets myself in trouble. I feel it's about time LUSU gets someone llke myself who is willing to stick their hand in the fan and accomplish something to LAKEHEADI Paul Moniz 11 2ND TRV 11 TWO MAJOR CAMPUS ISSUES There are 2 major issues facing LU students today. The first and most important. will be the reduction of "transfer payments· to universities, recently announced by the Ontario Government. The ramifications from these cuts will drastically effect us considering LU will most likely compensate for the lost revenue by reducing services, not faculty salaries. Services taken for granted llke Student Security, the Fieldhouse swimming pool, intramurals, Varsity sports ect... could be reduced if not ellminated. This ts why electing someone who keeps up with current issues and, with the experience to effectively represent :,our needs, is of essence. Another major issue that cannot be overlooked is the need for an affordable student health plan. Subsidised health care is available through the "Canadian Federation of Students" and I am completely devoted of bringing this to a referendum. IfLU students are in favour, then I ensure you that it will be properly administered and quickly implemented. PERCEPTION OF THE RELATIONSHIP The LUSU President should when possible, be in his/her office to hear student concerns. They should also know exactly who he/she is (not like the "who ts Ian Middleton" problem) and that the office has an open door policy. It is also imperative that the President voice these concerns at the "Board of Governors" level and, if necessary, take the initiative to organize protest rallies. Because the LUSU President is the chief llaison between the students and LU Administration, it ts crucial that information be related back in the form of Argus reports, class visits ect. .. GOALS A number of my goals for the upcoming year ls to see a wi'ravel Cuts• office on campus so the students may receive discounted air fares. I am also committed to implementing a student health plan for those who need it and, meeting with the new Thunder Bay mayor to ensure he does not neglect his promises towards affordable student housing and student-rate bus passes. Ensuring that the Outpost does not run a deficit and, obtaintng a transmitting licence for our radio station, ts also among my priorities BEST/WORST QUALITY I believe that my best quality is that I am focused and persistent. If a concern is brought to my attention, I will see to it that its resolved no matter how Jong It takes. Of my worst quality, I am unable to pin point anything major which might effect my role as President, yet, I invite eveiyone to come and get to know me so you may discover for yourselves. 11 Brian Torry TWO MAJOR CAMPUS ISSUES HAIR FORCE 11 The issue of improved Student Services, especially in the area of Health Care and also in off campus housing and improved services. Probably the greatest issue of present times, is one of exceptional importance, is the disastrous financial situation presented to us through higher tuition and reduced gov't spending and it will be necessary to deal with these problems to ensure continued success for students. PERCEPTION OF THE RELATIONSHIP ' In recent years LUSU has become more of a giant corporation than a Student Union. Though it is important to run the organization as a business the LUSU president should be a representative of the students not their CEO. • GOALS -Get students involved in LUSU - pride in LU. -Better off-campus housing services for students -Big brother/sister programs for all departments (voluntary) -Merchandising/promotion campaign to raise awareness within Thunder Bay and other Universities -Upgrading of Residence facilities - allowing married couples to cohabitate in residence ·Declare LU bilingual BEST/WORST QUALl'IY Best-hair Worst-hair PROFILE �The Argus Page 3 January 30, 1992 VICE PRESIDENT - FINANCE CAMPUS.

SPACE PROBLEM Every year more and more clubs and organizations approach LUSU for office space. Since there is limited space for offices, some clubs are paired with another similar interest club and put in one office (ie. LUBA and ACE).

I think LUSU and the V.P. Finance should work more closely with University Administration to help alleviate the lack of office space. One concrete proposal that I have, Best-hair Worst-hair Tanya Tougas "RUNNING FOR VP - F .. OUTPOST DEFICIT The intent of the OU1POST ls not that it be supported by additional funds, the OUTPOST should be operating at break-even or at a profit And if it is not, it is essential to determine what exactly is the source of the problem and talce correctlve measures to alleviate the financial burden. In light of the recent financial deficit, primarily caused by start-up costs of the OUTPOST, an Operating Fund has been established for the OUI'POST. The $2 cover-charge collected from non-LU students to the OUTPOST will go directly to this fund as well as any surplus (or profits) the OU1POST will make. This fund is a ve-cy important financial move for the OUI'POST. This fund will grow to a predetermined level (dollar amount). It Is Important to have this fund available in the case of an unforseen event so money will be available to cover the daily overhead expenses that must be paid. For example, a situation may arise such as a faculty strike. This may mean many students leave campus, forcing the OUI'POST to be closed for a couple of weeks. It wotJ:1d be a situation like this, not forseeable, that the management of the OUTPOST and LUSU can draw from this fund in order to remain above water until the normal revenues (profits) can be realized from regular operation. When this operaf:1ng fund reaches the pre-determined level, the money's over and above will go back to the students in the way of new services or events from the OUI'POST. SPACE PROBLEM This year LUSU has had a plethora of new clubs developing on campus. This is great! However, the problem of limited space has magnUled. I have ideas of my own to accommodate this problem. For example, we may be able to set up a common club headquarters for clubs that don't require as much office space. These clubs can share office equipment, and hold club meetings in the LUSU club room. I feel however, the people involved in clubs are most aware of their requirements and have many ideas of their own. This Is why I intend to organize a committee of club reps to address such issues as space, key and funding allocation. GOALS As V.P. Finance, there are many initiatives I will address. Among which include: Fall and Summer operations of the OUI'POST, short and long term planning for the OUI'POST and LUSU, Phase II of the Radio Station, and the implementation of a Climbing Wall. As V.P. Finance, I will continue to emphasize funding toward FREE and/or subsidized ticket prices for events held by the OU1POST. In addition, I will support funding of a variety of entertainment. As V.P. Finance This spring I will explore many alternatives for the summer operation of the OUTPOST. I feel it is Important that we choose an alternative that is financially stable, as well as in the best interest of our shareholders (YOU)! LUSU has undergone substantial growth in infa-structure, prtmarily due to the OU1FOST. At this point, I feel it is essential that as V.P. Finance, I initiate the development of short and long-term planning. In doing so, we can identify any potential opportunities or problems we may face in our operations. Uke you, I don't want any surprises! This coming year, the LU Radio Station will be advancing into Phase II & III. We will be applying for a transmitting license. I feel this is an excellent venture, and will support your views and interests when considering fund allocation. Finally, indMduals on campus are pursuing the implementation of a Climbing Wall. Providing a few wrinkles are ironed out, I feel this is a good investment for Lakehead Students to talce on. It's a healthy alternative form of recreation!

VICE PRESIDENT - FINANCE �The Argus Page 4 January 30. 1992 VP-STUDENT ISSUES VANDALISM ON CAMPUS IS A BIG ISSUE, WILL YOU ADDRESS THIS ISSUE? WIDCH SOCIAL PROBLEMS ON CAMPUS WOULD YOU LIKE TO DEAL WITH? WHAT ARE TOUR GOALS FOR THE UPCOMING YEAR? WHAT IS TOUR BEST AND WORST QUALITY? Chris Klimushko 11 COHESIVE HAIR 11 VANDALISM -Keep students aware of the effects of vandalism (cost) -Education via various avenues ofcommunication (Argus. Radio Station. Poster Campaign) -Implementation of campus. crime stoppers program -More co-operation with Thunder Bay Police-more care patrols. Joot patrol for events SOCIAL PROBLEMS 1. Women•s Issues-make sure that women feel safe on campus at all times. -participation of women to assist in implementing programs and services that will create a new ideal atmosphere. 2. Health Care-getting on health care plan that will cover off campus health services. i.e. dental. prescriptions etc. 3. Alcohol Awareness-continuing the campaign to encourage responsible drfnklng-encouragtng designated drivers program. GOALS -Get students involved in LUSU-pride in LU -Better off-campus housing services for students -B:lg brother/sister programs for all departments (voluntary) -Merchandising campaign to raise awareness and make others aware of LU in T.Bay and across Canada. -Upgrading of Residence facilities-allowing married couples to cohabitate in Residence BEST/WORST QUALITY Hair THE FISHER QUEEN 11 VANDALISM Vandalism is of major concern especially this past year, the foremost example is the childish action which took place in EarFalls Residence. It was from the vandalism here which saw the expulsion of sfx students from all parts of residence . I believe their ban is justffted and that this action was a step in the right direction. Vandalism is not going to stop and we shouldn't kid ourselves or anyone else. The question arises thus, how far do we go to punish the masses for acts of few, if they can not be found out? I personally do not like the idea of •passing the buck.. as it were, it can•t even be said that the vandalism taken place on campus is done by our student body. Thus it becomes hard to Justify any action against our student community. My best solution is show students right at the beginning of the year the costs of vandalism, the money comes from ie: cutting out of further and better education and higher student fees. Hey were all adults. Lets act that way! Before we lose privileges such as a licensed bar, lets not kid ourselves it could happen! SOCW, PROBLEMS I believe that Lakehead has to worry more than just social problems on campu~What i mean is that, I am particulartty concerned about the fact every two days one garbage bin full ofgood food coming from Versa is thrown away quite hastily. Do we not have a "shelter.. here in ThunderBay? Yes, I believe so! This is a major social problem especially when this campus can come out and provide some very much needed food, it probably wouldn't even cost us anything as they would gladly come to pick it up every day for free. Here we do the community a great service and we as students lend a hand in waste management and we gain in the appreciation of the citizens ofThunderBay, who may now open their doors and homes to future students. As for on campus social problems, I believe that people in different faculties don't know anything or little about another faculty, thus we arrive at the constantly put down of Outdoor recreation students who's course load is two times that of any Arts students. There course sounds easy by name but thats all. Thus basically we have to learn about each other. GOALS My goals for the upcoming year are to give students the best responsible secure time that cp Walsh THAT S CORRELATIVE POLYPHILOPROGENITIVE TO VOU VANDALISM 11 Christine Fisher 11 11 11 We should be using the Argus as a medium for exposing the perpetrator and ensurtng that they are persecuted to the full extent of the law. i would also suggest an increase in student security on the prtme nights (thursdays). Vandalism seems to stem from drunken folks' propensity for a primordial response to personal frustration. Perhaps these folks would find other means of venting their frustration (self-manipulation) if they knew that they may be exposed to their peers via the Argus. SOCIAL PROBLEMS Environmental concerns continue to be the most pressing issues on the planet for obvious reasons. At a local level. ECHO)) continues to lead the way with activities such as the upcoming Environmental Awareness Week. The environmental problem is one facet in a greater social problem that can only be resolved through a change in people's thinking. With the rtse of grassroots clubs such as B.G.L.L.U., heterosexist and homophobic attitudes may eventually -change. If people had a little more humility about themselves and their place in the universe, many would not be as frustrated or insensitive to changing times. Student apathy is obviously a problem which stifles any attempt to effect change. An innovative and creative way of approaching the aforementioned social problems will have to be sought. We must"attempt to remove the rigid bind of massproduced solutions. GOALS ·,As with past years, i'd stlll enjoy attempting to subvert the dominant paradigm. In the words of NOMEANSNO: Question the answers, stir the solutions; in the end, for light, you must burn your conclusions. BEST/WORST QUALITY Best Quality: A humorously creative yet strident belief in reform. Worst Quality: i'm a procrastinator. they can achieve in one year and hopefully years to come. Another goal is to ensure that the courses offered in the calender are actually offered in the up coming year for students now find that because of courses not offered the year , disallows them to take a desired course in the next academic year, thus a crucial m1nn could be lost and future employment as well. BEST/WORST QUALITY · • My best quality would have to be that i'm very approachable and open to ideas and critlcism while maintaining a sense of humour to keep the edge off. My worst quality pushing my point too far, which could be a good thing in the position of V.P. Student Issues. 11 Craig Grice DOES BO KNOW LUSU? 11 VANDALISM As everyone knows vandalism has become quite a hot topic around campus. Rumours have it, they may even closel he Outpost. However, the Outpost is not just a service to the small handful of people vandalizing but a service to the entire student body. Idealistically, increased securtty and lightlng:yvould best solve the problem. Realistically, because of budget constraints, it depends upon the students to take action against vandalism. We must police ourselves. Many concerned students have brought forth the idea of a "clime stopper" program. The university would give a small financial reward for any tips leading to the arrest of a vandal. On a larger scope. it would be most effective for not only the students safety but to the protection of our university community. SOCIAL PROBLEMS Although vandalism is a social issue, there are other social . problems which are frequently mentioned. As Residence Programmer, I see a large gap between residance and off-campus student. Both share the university facilities, yet one goes way and one goes the other. As a student senator and residance programmer I have learned concepts that could bridge the two groups. Another social problem is the Outpost. Many people have complained about service items that include food, waitstaff and doorstaff. There are also many complaints I have heard. What I would like to see is more consistency witl1 service and regulations. Some other socila grievances I would like to deal with are better accessibility for thhe physically challenged, better communication between facilities, and more organized registration week. GOALS As for goals for next year. I would like to see a health plan implemented. and a men's volleyball team. By working with administration I want birthdates on student cards, an increased budget for off campus housing and to increase security regardless of budget constraints. W«unust work around the situation to make our campus look and feel safe. BEST/WORST QUALITY As for myself, I would say my worst quality would be the constant work I take on. I have a difficult time delegating authority. Mt best ·quality would be my dedicated, personable attitude toward.every single issue I acquire.

In that article I took it upon myself to speculate to why Kelly W1ll1ams had decided to leave the team as I wrote; "Veteran Kelly Williams has quit the volleyball squad asofWednesday. It is presumed that Wt1Jtams was upset after losing her starting setter position to second year player Jo-Anne Hood." In response Wt1Jtams has written a formal letter to myself explaining her situation. As this article originally appeared in the Sports section I feel it is necessary to reprint part of Kelly's letter and I do so at her discretion. Hopefully this letter will clear up the situation.- Sports ed. -nie fact that! am not playing volleyball any longer has absolutely nothing to do with losing my position as setter.

OnSaturday, January 18 while playing at home against Windsor I played one set and then found myself sittlngon the bench. This is what I was upset about, after putting three and a half years into the volleyball program at LU I felt the last place I deserved to be was on the bench. When I spoke to Claude [Lapre, head coach) ·on Monday, January 20th concerning my departure from the team, I explained to him that I was unhappy sitting on the bench, however, there were other factors which brought me to my decision.· - Kelly V-Ball Squ.ad. ~w•ps Waterloo The LU Womens volleyball squad once again asserted itself this past weekend wtth yet another sweep, this time versus the home Waterloo team.

It is a very interesting collection of stories from the childhood of Bill Cosby. Cosby relives his boyhood and is kind enough to share it with the reader in the style he is famous for. Regardless of how the experience effected him at the tlme Cosby ftnds in each situation a abundance of humour and forces the reader to laugh alongwithhim.

He was concealed behind one of the mammoth orange refuse containers that so enthusiastically domJnate the Vending Room. Out he sprang, clutching a cheap handgun. Was some gun control coalition shooting a commerctal at my expense? His gun went off, the bullet struck me square In the belt buckle and knocked me flat onto the Vending Room Floor. I crtnged as he loomed over me, preparing the coup de grace. "You're not Brtan B.,· he said. -You're no Jack Ruby your-· seJ.f, • I replied. The bullet had ricocheted tnto a coffee machine and now fresh versa-brewed mud was pouring out onto the floor. A couple of bearded students 1n engtneertngjackets were helpIng themselves. My assaulter offered a hand which I graciously refused. Brushing otf any of his halfwitted apologies, I hastened to the bookstore. where I fantasized about the textbooks I couldn't afford. Then It was off to the Agora, where now I sit composing. Apparently there's a little too much empty space here In the Agora. The space committee, an agoraphobic organization presumably tn charge of such things, has decreed that a lot of this empty space be destroyed to make way for artificial trees, plants, furniture, and Looking Up magazine stands. I wonder If the space committee Is aware ofa more sert- ous empty-space excess on campus. On Analyst Annie's mallbox, to be exact AA Is getting awfully lonely here. When questioned about the situation, WSU president Ian Middleton cited the Native Student's proposed Pow-wow and ECHO's EnvtronmentalAwarenessdtspJayas events that may suffer from the empty space destruction. Presumably, all such events could be moved to other high-traffic areas such as the tunnel Just outside the LUSU office or the dance floor of the Outpost. The Outpost has also been generating optnlons among the socially conscious Journallsts of Thunder Bay.

Television c-ommercials promoting TEDs or thigh-enhancing devices have been broadcasted tnto our living rooms for thepastcoupleofmonths. The two most popular TEDs currently adverUsed are Thigh Master (plugged by SU2.arule Somers) and Thigh Toner. From these commercials, it would seem that thighs are the trendy part of the anatomy right now. Fat, flabby thighs are out and well-toned thighs are In. However, a big problem With 1EDs Js they only concentrate on flabby thighs. After people use these devtces their thighs become toned, but what about their double chins, their droopy butts and most Importantly, their beer bellies? I can Justtmagtne 1ED users' friends saying, "Gee, she's got a nice pair of thighs, but get a load of that beer belly.· So Individuals seeking the perfect body must wait for as yet uninvented devices such as the Chin Chiseler, Butt Buster and Belly Beater. Another problem for TE,D users ts the Oprah Effect. This condition Is named Jn honour of the talk show host, Oprah Winfrey. You will remember that Oprah went on a liquid diet and after a couple months. she almost disappeared. and became known as Little Opie to thousands of adoring fans. However, when she went off that diet, she practically doubled tn stze and earned the nickname, The Grand oi· Oprah. (That terrible pun is for all the Country and Western fans out there). Tots boomer- . ' ang process became known as the Oprah Effect, and It applies to anyone who stops usIng some trendy diet food or exercise device, For 'JED users, il means that once they,· stop using their 1EDs, their thighs will became twice as flabby as they were originally. Although most women will probably quit using the1r1EDs shortly after purchasing them, dlehard users who over-tn-dulge tn the thigh-enhancing process will develop more than toned thighs. Aftera while their ·-legs will look like those of female Bulgarian shotputters. You know the kind of legs I mean, like Arnold Schwarzenegger's -- all knotted with veins sticking out. And women purchaslng'IEDs probably don't want legs like that. That's why I think lEDs should be promoted to people Interested In body building.

A guest lecture sponsored by the Canadian Institute of International Affairs 1n1tiated intense dialogue last Thursday night in the lower lecture theatre. Dr. Sarah Klein from the Untversity of Toronto spoke on "Yugoslavia: Propaganda and the Civil War", concentrating on some of the "truths" which the popular media has been unable to adequately cover. Dr. Klein also commented on the political situations involved with the claims of independence coming from the states of Croatia and Slovenia. Dr. Klein specializes in Russian history and has accrued a wealth of informatton over her 20 years of study, recently completing a book on the subject. Close to one hundred people attended the lecture, very few of those being students. Some had direct interest in the conflicts of the civil war, either being direct 1mm1· grants from Yugoslavia or having family and friends in the count:Iy. Several outspo. ken University professors attended to take part in the discussion subsequent to the lecture. One of the ftrst significant actions by the government follOWing the takeover was the silencing of the press. Any condemnation of the conflict was seen as a traitorous enterprise. Antigovernment voices were crushed. As a result much of the war's coverage received in Canada ranged from untruths to outrfght lies. Information was often falsified in order to spread propaganda by the government. and as a result opinions and aWtudes on the conflict were oftenmalfgned. According to Dr, Klein, they still are. ·1 don't envy our diplomats involved with the responsibility of dealing with Yugoslavia", Klein stated, adding that the premature recognition of Croatia and Slovenia while conflict has still not settled was -not a wise, well considered foreign policy." Dr. Klein referred to the reported heavy bombing of Croatia, saying, "the truth about this kind of thing ts not going to come out for a while ,but you don't accept the version that ts given to youjust because it was there and convenient". She also expressed some measure of support for the Croatians. The confitct is based not only on the differences of culture and religion of the states, but also the ideological confitcts between communism and democracy. She said ..if the army was doing to Venice what it is doing to Dubrovnik the whole world would be up in arms and would come to its rescue". Ian Cro,kcll , CGA, Scnklc Vicc-Pruidcn1.

January 22nd. A solidarity day was supported by Lakehead Univers1ty•s Environmental CHOice (ECHO). After completing phase 1 of the James Bay project. Hydro Quebec is now ready to commence construction ofphase2oftheproject. Toe project is a series of dams and diversions intended to createvastreservoirsforthe production of hydroelectric power: most of which would be for sale to the northern United States. Toe project affects an area in northern Quebec the size of France. It would dam and divert 20 major rivers and cost approxunately 25 billion dollars. Toe James Bay project would be the largest hydroelectric project in the world. Toe government of Quebec maintains that the project would give Quebec economic independence and THE JAMES BAY PROJECT: ANATIVE PERSPEQIVE by Susan Kemp If the second phase ofthe James Bay Project goes ahead it could have dramatic implications for Quebec•s Cree. There is the possibility of mercwy poisoning damaging their fishing and hunting grounds.and this means that their traditional life and culture will be greatly affected. Vice-President of LU-s Native Students· Association.Linda Herny.recognizes the problem that the Cree are facing. She said that in Phase One of the Project.the Quebec government gave some of the reserves large amounts of money to compensate them for their loss.and this has made the reserves quite prosperous. Herny sees this move as "the governmenfs way of trying to do away with the native culture"· because.although the Cree have money to live. they will not be able to retain an important part of'their heritage. She feels the Quebec government is attempting to "assimilate the natives into the white culture" .in order to go ahead with the James Bay Project. stability. Environmentalists. backed by scientific study. argue that the project would effectively destroy the ecology of a large part of the northern heartland of Canada. Toe project would alter whole biological regimes through diversion of rivers and flooding of forest lands. Toe Cree and Inuit in the area maintain that the project threatens their cultural. social and economic well-being. Floodingo-of forest lands creates several biological problems including disruption of wildlife and their migration patterns (notably caribou). mercury poisoning of fish and humans, the potential extermination of the freshwater seal and the production of greenhouse gases from the decomposition of plant material in the reservoirs.

The meeting lasted sfx and a half hours, ending at 12.30am. Starting with l;J. report on the elections an all candidates meeting will take place on January 29 at noon. Due to a population change in the university, the number ofscience reps will go down by one, and the number of arts reps will go up one. COLLE8E STUDENTS MAY BE RESTRICTED FROM PUB Greg Beckford, LUSU rep for Arts, proposed Confederation College students not "enter our bar with their ... cards" on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights. All nonLU students would be signed in as the guest of an LU student. An LU student could only sign in one guest. Each guestwouldpaya$2.00cover charge which would go towards a Student Centre Contingency Fund. This would be in effect on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights. Debate lasted until the end of the marathon meeting, at 12.30am. Beckford argued that Confederation College students and residents oflhunder Bay have not paid for the Outpost, yet currently Con College students can walk in just by flashing their student cards. and an LU studentcansignin two guests. Beckford felt that Con College students occupy too much space on Thursday nights, and that because of this, many LU students who have paid for the bar are waiting in line. Beckford also felt DOHERTY APPEALS TO BOARD On January 9, Tom Doherty, a LUSU rep for Arts, had his privileges from the Outpostsuspended.Thatdiscussion took place in-camera. so the reason is not known. Last Thursday, Doherty appealed to the Board. asking them to over- • tum that decision. He apologized for what he had done. and admitted that he was in the wrong. JeffDockeray, the pub manager, accepted the apology. Doherty informed the Board that he had complied with LUSU's decision. A vote by secretballot was taken that would have rescinded that decision, yettt failed with sfxvotes for, thirteen against. 1?<?1:1~ ~!>~~~4-. ' that this would reduce vandalism, as each LU student would only be responsible for one guest as opposed to two. And ifthis is in place, then the line-ups to enter the pub will decrease. On occasion, lineups have become rowdy resulting in damage. Tim Fleguel and Robin Squires felt.tlus motion was financially irresponsible and would result in a loss ofbusiness ~eek. Tanya Tougas feared that this move may deter business from non-LU students all week and into the summer. when the Outpost ts/dependant on -their business. Beckford stated he was in touch with students and this proposal would be popular. He also said this would decrease tension that the current situation creates and thus "promote healthy alcoholism." When the motion came toa vote, there were fifteen Board members present. Fifteen is quorum, or the minimum number of reps needed legally. Squires, who opposed the motion, left, and Fleguel called quorum. Since quarum had been lost, the meeting was dissolved. REFUGEES PUB $70,000 IN DEBT This motion was followed by debate concerning the Mini-Budget. FMC has proposed an increase into many of the existing and some new items, including the phone budget for Cass Koenen, the radio station, the Gender Issues Centre. and a proposed climbing wall. The total increase for all items totalled $93,500. Debate went in circles. Some questioned the wisdom of spending money on these items when the Outpost was $70,000 in debt. Many felt the money should go to paying off debts now, whileLUSU is still able to. Tilis proposed Mini-Budget was referr¢ back to-FMC to be discusf(ed with auditors. In the executive reports. Ian Middleton stated that the Space Committee will re-examine the decision to close off theAgora from student sponsored events. The ECHO and Native Student events, that were previously scheduled, have been given the go-ahead. Then LUSU proceeded to debate a series of housecleaning motions, most of which passed. Karen Molly, a representative ofWorld University Services of Canada (WUSC), asked the Board to consider donating $6,000 to WUSC, which would sponsor two refugee students to attend LU. The $6,000 would be paid over a two year period. Molly indicatedshehadapproachedDr. Robert Rosehart and the Alumni to donate a' total of $7,000. Pete George said he would like to see such a program to support Canadian students instead. Some members of the Board agreed. Financial Management Committee (FMC) indicated they could not support such a program if it was a "charity." Molly described WUSC as a "nonprofit" agency. Robin Sq~ said the program would be valuable in terms of experience. These students would meet our Canadian students and teach us about conditions (Continued on Page 14. See "REFUGEES") 1!;11 N.

A real assault rifle ts one that ts capable of firing at a rate that exceeds one cartridge per trigger pull or fully-automatic ftre. It can be a burst of three or so bullets. It has a high capacity magazine of highly reliable design and enviable construction. It has a ftn1sh that ts durable and matte, emphasizfng endurance over cosmetic appeal. It is constructed of top quality, supertor metals, alloys and composites. The sights are those of a rugged, easy to use vartetywtth quick pickup and easy of use 1n any light situation. These rifles are nonnally standardized into one or two of the main military cartridges those being 5.5mm, 7.62mm, 7.62x39mm, and the 9mm. Most of the NATO countries use either the 5.56mm, the 9mm or the 7.62mm whJle the Communist countries rely on the 7.62x9mm. The barrel ts about two feet long gtve or take. with total length at about four feet. They are designed to function in any climate with ease, they allow total confidence 1n their ability to function bang on. 1 To further your knowledge, I offer a short essay on the semiautomatic rifle. Ditto with the exception on the rate of fire. Toe so•called assault rifles that many people now buy are designed the exact same as the above with the exception ofvarious sears and millings in the-receivers of the guns. The versions of the military weapons that one can buy in the gun.shops can't, won't and cannot be made to fire at a rate greater than one shot per trigger pull. One can't buy them, legally. Obviously one can buy them illegally. like any other barmed or restricted substance. There lsnothingwrongwithhavinga durable, accurate ftreann 1n one's possession as long as one uses it 1n a responsible manner. All guns started as military assault rifles. The bolt action, being the most basic of all fl.rearms, was designed as a more effective alternative to the black powder rifles of days of yore. The same ts true of the assault rifle. It is streamlined, updated, efficient variation of the baste design. As everything escalates, so must technology. This new technology will be what the bolt action ts to the assault rifle in a matter of few years. AU guns aretncorporatedintotheshootingworldiftheydeliverwhatthe consumer wants, Just as in the market places for any other goods on the face of the earth. If 1t doesn't serve a useful purpose, that gun or other goodJs quickly replaced by something that does. Most of the legal porchasers of these guns buy theqi like the automobile lover buys a four wheer<irtve vehicle. Most 4x4's never see the dirt but when needed they perform their function without hesitation. Just as one would take a 4x.4 into rough conditions, many feel that a semi-automatic rifle or so-called assault rifle is the best bet for swamps, heavy brush, and other such obstacles. By getting the job done in all conditions, the semi-automatic rifle Wins kudos from the legal shooting pubUc. The look of It puts distrust into people who judge by appearance without considering what may be on the inside, sort of like how people treat one another. With a little education in the unknown, one can fonnuJate a logical. factual opinion of the derided rifle. The pleasure of these guns come from the sheer excitement of flrtng one of these pieces of craftsmanship. not in the idea that one can go and extenntnate a group of people. While once designed for that very purpose, they have evolved into a multi-faceted flreann that allows for multicondition shooting Without having to let the weather affect your hunt or target shooting. With safe, . supervised shooting these rifles will allow greatJoy and a feeling of delight. Shooting ts not the evil action that 1t ts portrayed to be, with shooters coming from all walks of life. It ts not a question of controlling guns, but of controlling people who abuse their prtvileges of using the guns. Society as a whole needs more stringent laws in the prosecution of those that have no respect for the humanity of others. Don't ban the gun, ban the crlmtaaJ who uses the gun with long mandatory jail time, hard labour, and other sorts of punishment that flt the crtme. Common sense is the best way of avoiding the loss of shooting privileges. Don't point guns at people. Don't touch guns if they are not yours. Use your mtnd and words to settle disputes, not your gun{s). They are not toys, therefore keep them away from children. Remember these few rules and no one will a:et hurt. W.

In this matter, LUSU ts the only organization on campus that can claim to represent the students. Therefore 1t ls the only organtzat:fon that is directly accountable to the student body at Lakehead. For the most part, LUSU ls accountable and accessible. Board meetings are open to everyone (though only 2 or 3 non_!.,USU people take advantage of this opportunity, including one Argus reporter). : But strangely, the occasion arrives that someone on the board moves to go "in camera" to discuss a certain issue. What does "ln camera" mean? Basically, LUSU shuts It's doors to the public, 1.e. the student body, and discusses 'sensitive issues! 1n privacy. Only LUSU executive, board members, and usually employees are prtvy to what ts said during the "in camera". Once they come "out ofthe camera", no one who participated in the meeting ls allowed to reveal to any other person or member of the media what occurred while "in camera·. Where la the acco1D1tablllty to the students who own the corporation of LUSO? What has happened to the people's "right to know"? Although we're not calling for the complete end to the practise of "in camera" meetings, we think that they should be limtted. We11 start wtth the circumstances in which LUSU usually goes "in camera": 1) staff salaries 2) An investigation of a staff member, a member of the board of directors, or a student that could potentially hann the integrity of the person. 3) Anything deemed as a corporate decision, 1.e. decisions regarding which business to deal wtth etc. Regarding this list 1t is obvious that "in camera" meetings sho~d not be banned completely. Staff members, i.e. the·pub programmer etc. have a right to privacy considering their income. Staffand student investigations probably shouldn't be disclosed either. But that ts where the line should be drawn. What about members of the Board of Directors? Hypothetical Case# 1: Let's say that a board member insults a staff member, and an inquiry ts deemed necessary. As an elected official, that board member's actions should be revealed 1n the public. forum. It ·ts true that the member ls innocent until provengutlty. Thus if the member ls exonerated, the member's integrity has not been threatened since they have been c~eared of all charges. But if the person ls found guilty, all of the details should be available to the public: in the meetings, and (hopefully) subsequentlytn the.Argus. It bolls down to the public's right to know. Hypothetical Case #2. Let's say a corporate decision ts being •made regarding which travel company LUSU should select. Of the three companies, two offer a free trip to one tour guide. while the third offers free trips for two tour gutdes...,lbe third also offers a higher price per student. Shou!_d nottbf!S~detatls that influence the board's final dectston ~-a'vailao!efo students? ln•camera meetings may prevent students from being aware of these types of decisions. In other words, how do we know tfLUSU is truly acting in the best interests of students unless we know what factors were considered tn reaching a conclusion. Students.who elect Board members will never know if the LUSU Board abuses the privilege of in-camera meetings because we never know what has been discussed. WSU uses •Robert's Rules of Order" to maintain a systematic and Democratic way to run meetings. Closing off these debates to the public by our elected officials is like closing off Parliament. Does this seem fair? Even past Board members have questioned the use of in•camera meetings, wtth one former Board rep describing discussion durtngtn-camera meetings as "frivolous." I Invite LOSU memben who diaagree with th.I■ statement to write a letter defending the use of "In camera" meetings In regard to Board Member Discipline and Corporate matters. I also invite students from the general population to write and tell us whether or not you feel that matters of this nature should be kept in the public forum. Before I close, I would also like to suggest that a nonmembers of the Board such as Judicial Committee reps or some other person act as an arbitrator who can sit in on "in camera" meetings and decide if all things being discussed are really relevant to the reason the board went "in camera" in the first place. It would be the arbitrator's responsibility to reveal the subject matter of all unrelated digressions made followtng the meeting. Of course, then 1t would be necessary to have a written policy available for the circumstances in which a meeting ts to be made "in camera" and the speclftc topics which may be withheld from the public. 'lbis would guarantee that LUSU only went "in camera" for legitimate reasons. Basically tt would be a self poUdng mechanism that would prevent potentially arbitrary use of the "in camera· device that no Board :bc,,:.,.•~~~!f E?~F:~5i:::~:;,. �'' FROZEN STIFF" J\L 92 WINTER SEE LUSU THE OUTPOST FOR MORE INFO I Help Build The World's -LARGEST SNOW ANGEL 1, THURS.

It should set up a programsfmilartothe Crime Stoppers"'program in Thunder Bay. and call it Cheat Stoppen. Here's an example of how it would work. An anonymous letter recently recieved at the Argus suggested that some students in Engineering were cheating on tests and exams. Assuming that the author of this letter was truthful. it's probably safe to assume that cheating on tests is occurring in other disciplines besides Engineering. "Yeah. so what?" you're probably thinking. I can't believe you thought that! Cheating is a blight. a d1sease that, if left untreated spreads uncontrollably into the veiy fabric of this nation. "I find that hard to believe." you're saying to yourself. Well, it's true. Cheating on tests is not so bad, but it progresses to other teITible atrocities. Pretty soon a test cheater cheats on his income taxes, brings goods across the Border without declaring them, fabricates. stories about Sudbury doctors and calls Liberal MPs 'fornicating fatherless children' (alooseauotaUon) and then denies it.

In most cases it was Johnson's ill-fated love affairs that caused him his greatest anguish. The women in his life eventually cost him his life. he was poisoned. It is believed that the poison was slipped into his drink by either a Jealous gtrlfrtend or jilted husband. His death left many unanswered questions. one of which was his exact age. Don Law. his recording producer for all his tracks placed his age at roughly 18 years while he recorded. Yet Muddy Waters. another Delta Blues singer, Maintainshisagewascloser to thirty years old. Most agree that since Law was closer to Johnson h1s guess is closer to the truth, but the controversy just adds to the legend. During a trip to San Antonio, Law was out to dinner when he received a phone call from the police, Johnson had been picked up on a vagrancy charge, and Law further d1scovered that the police had beat him up and smashed his guitar. continued •.ver page... �1beArgus Page 8 Janumy23. 1992 ENTERTAINMENT PC PICKS by 'Pat" Compatible Sid Meier's Civilization has finally been released.

The team ts off to Waterloothisweekend, ifthey sweep playoff action will be assured. LI.Fans Banked Only Second In The l'nnrlnca It has been officially announced that LU only has the second best fans In Ontario University play ranking behind Guelph In a recent poll by CHCH 1V of Hamilton who televises the weekly OUM game of the week. ·The announcement come at a time when the LU fans seem to be joining the wave of apathy around campus. The fans Just don't seem to be with tt this season. It began during the exhtbltton games and has now spread In to conference play. No longer do we find the once common chants such as •sn down coach•, and at tlmeswe are lucky 1f fans raise a finger when our team ts shooting our foul shots. I don't know what ls happening this }":ar, I was so happy to go to a game to get In to the action, we used to have an sixth person advantage. It must be told that the banishment ofthe fabled Thunderstorm has done a lot to diminish splrtt amongst fans. The ClAU and the OUAA referees have recently vowed to enfon::e the rule which gives ourteam a technical foul after theThunderstonn. However measures to sneak around this ruling are already In the planning stages and may be In place for this weekends match versus McMaster. So the bottom line Is, are we number two or number one. I believe we -have the potential to become number one but we have to turn things around soon. If there are some crazy fans left let's see you out this weekend. Pots and pans, horns, and any noisemakers are optional but they can only help. This ts a true article, the following are a reminder of LU Thunderdome courtesy calls and actions: 1) at the beginning ofeach match every fan should tum away when the visiting team Is being Introduced. 2) when the opposing coach stands up the chant ·su down coach• should follow Immediately. 3) when our team Is shooting foul shots each fans shall raise their hand and wave It and yell •swoosh" when It goes In. Remember, It used to be commonplace, well It may come back this weekend. Lets get out and gain pack our sixth person advantage.

The ladies dominated winning by the scores of 77-62 Friday and 83-48 on Saturday. The victories come via a hot shooting performance by the entire team, hitting a whopping 53% from the field on Saturday. The ladies were paced by Pam Leitch who seemed to have shaken her shooting bug by putting down 44 points in the two contests. Leitch wasJoined by teammate Kathy Harrison who scored 23 on Saturday. Barb Hill also had 15 on Saturday. The team played very well as all team members saw action and made a soUd contribution. The score on Saturday. as lopsided as it may seem, only had LU up by 10 at the half and head coach Stu Julius insisted he wasn't trying to run up the score. The next three weeks will bring the toughest competition to the front. LU will play McMasterthisweekend and can't afford to drop a game. It likely won't happen though as LU brings a three year conference home undefeated steak in to the games. (I hope I didn't jinx). Currently the LU ladies are ranked #7 in the country with a 14-6 overall record with their only losses coming to the teams ranked in preceding 6. The team is tied for first place in the OWIAA Westat4-0, here's a look at the standing as of Jan.22.

The men dominated their Windsor foes to bring their conference record to 3-1 and put them into a tie position with Guelph and McMaster. Leading the charge was second year point guard Peter Brown. Brown has asserted himself in the NorWester Uneup getting more and more confidence with each game. Brown has been pushing the ball up the court fast and distributing the ball well. The quick Brown gives the team a new look. Also Mike Lalonde had a great weekend scoring 33 pts. and 26 rebounds over the two games, earning h1m an athlete of the week nomination. Brian Norland put in some quaUty time and so did Chris Grace. It finally seems as though the teamiS beginning to show the depth it promised at the beginning of the year. Perhaps the most important aspect of the mens game is their defence. The NorWesters rank# 1 in the conference in defence, only allowing an average of 69.5/ppg. Ray Foster has been brilliant defensively and has teamed well with Lalonde to wipe off the boarai, The temn hM five players averaging over 10/ ppg not including shooting ace Dave Pineau who has run into early foul trouble this season.

Hockey fs the greatest game in the world. Evidently, something fs very wrong with a sports popularity poll conducted in the United States a short while ago that ranked hockey 40th in popularity. Granted, this is just American opinion, but I didn't realize that more than thirty or so sporting actMties existed. Following will be reasonswhyhockeyfs better than three popular sports. Time and space limits keep me from comparing sports such as Roller Derby and Rhythmic Gymnastics, which also ranked higher in participation than hockey. Hockeyfs betterthanbaseball because... -Only four out of twentysix teams make the playoffs. Players do not seem to care though, although I wouldn't either for $5 million a season. -Baseball has no time lfmit. Pitchers and management control the speed of a game which fsaveraglngthree hours in length, and sometimes much longer in extra innings. Baseball fs much too boring to 1tay 1.wak@ that long, -Managers wear uniforms. Take a look around the majars. Some of those old farts shoe-horned into those tight _ polyester suits looks. rtdiculous. They make Robbie Ftorek's sweaters look good. Hockey ts better than football beca~~,,, -Football teams only play one game a week. What fans and players do the other six days is beyond me. How long does it take to hype yourself uptothrowon20lbs. ofequtpment and hurl your body toward someone wearing the same? -You must weigh at least 250lbs. to play football. This could only mean that players spend six days a week eating. -There are too many timeouts. Having 8 or 10 timeouts per game gives the quarterback power to make that big play and move the ball l 00 yards down the field in 5 or 6 seconds. -Watching football can be like watching paint dry. Hockey fs better than basketball because... -You have to be seven feet tall to play basketball. You're completely screwed if under six feet anyway. The only exceptions are Spud Webb, and local sports hero Peter Brown. -The last basket always wins the game. Why not just have a jump ball, and let the first team that scores win? -Basketball is monotonous. Inbound the ball. Pass the ball. Pass the ball. Sink the ball. Inbound the ball. Pass the ball. Pass the ball. Sink the ball. There fs little doubt in my mind that hockey fs the fastest and most exciting of all sports. Hopefully, expansion into San Jose and Tampa (both HUGE American T.V. markets), can greatly increase the popularity of hockey. It should then be more popular than thrilling Syncronized Swimming or the capUvattng Dresage. �• -~ j i. The Argus Page 13 January 23, 199~ Ig SPORTS . . ' Super Bowl 1992 Official Predictions ~~~ :@ *:::~ ~-~ till f:.':1 ::t: ,,:;!;;.. ! ft I I mt ~~ II I :&¥. RC dS ki flS Last year this sports sage predicted that the Buffalo Bills would end a seven year drought and beat the 49ers to win Super Bowl XXV. Two things went wrong. 1) The Giants beat the 49ers. Fine I thought, then the Bills will Just have to beat the Giants instead. They did look unstoppable against the Raiders. Also I couldn't see Thurman Thomas coughing up the ball in the dying minutes of the game like Roger "Call Me Sammie Smith" Craig did. 2) The Giants played flawless football. They had to. They had no choice. But still they won the game by a single point and that's all that counted. The Bills were the team of 1990, but the Giants deserved to win the title game. It'sanewyear. I'malittle older, hopefully wiser, so I'm going to take inevitable choice and pick the Redskins to win Super Bowl XXVI. How can I go against the emotions, the revenge factor, the odds of eight straight NFC victories that should inspire the Bills? The Bogs... They allowed ninesacksallyear.Theyhandled the awesome Eagles. They handled the Giants, the Oilers, the Bears. Jeny Ball. They give Rypien the time he needsandtheygivethebacks the blocks they want. They can neutralize Bennent, Smith, and Wright, the only defensive weapons that the , Bills really have. Defence wins. The Hogs won't let the Billsmakethedtfferencethat they did against the Broncos. Joe Gibbs ... Two or three new plays per week, the best playoff record among active coaches, Super Bowl expertence. This man is a factor. The Posse ... Tin-ee receivers that make Reed, Lofton, and Beebe look weak. Blair Kiel could quarterback this team to a Super Bowl. The Running Attack... 1bree runningbacks that give the Redskins the most versatilerunningattackin the NFL. Teamed with the Hogs, the undersized Bill line will suffer. TheDanelGreen... Hecan cover Andre Reed one on one all day. Allowing the Skins to tal favourite because they're the underdog, and they've never~won the Super Bowl.

It will beamoreexcitingSuperBowl thanlastyearminusthethrilling ending. Redskins by 10. P.S. Scott Norwood won't miss anything from 45 yards or less on Sunday. But if he does, he's gone (unless the Bills win). TG Belrose B1•11S Da Bills! yes that's right folks this NFL guru is taking the now 7 1/2 point underdogs to sip the champagne in '92. Contraiy to the popular belief of the bandwagoners the Bills can compete with the Redskins and win. Here's why: 1) The Bills have Jim Kelly, Andre Reed and Thurman Thomas to lead the offence. The hottest offence 1s ready to strike and the 'Skins defencewUl be double cover Beebe, Lofton, the \fleUm. Th@ Blll8 ne@d to or even Thurman Thomas. At thirty, still one of the finest cornerbacks in the NFL. He did hurt himself against the IJons,butheisalikelystarter. TheBillsarethesentimen- get Thomas out of the blocks on the ground. If he can get some quality gain on the ground Kelly may not even have to air it out. WhJle the Redskin defence 18 good vs. the run Thomas is a big game performer (see Super Bowl25).IfThomasisshowtng little gain on the ground then look for Kelly to give him a few screens, Thomas' speed on the outside is unparalleled in the NFL with the exception of a certain #20inDetroit.ButlikeSanders. Thomas has the explosiveness to swing wide. If therunandthescreensdon't work look for Reed, and James Lofton to figure. While the 'Skins boast one of the best DB's in Darell Green, he alone can not stop the muchbiggerReed.Adouble team on Reed will leave Lofton alone and-he can beat a smaller man one on one, butnotformorethan 10-15 yds. Kellyhas the poise and talenttooutsmarthiscounterpart Rypien, and his abilltytoscramblegtveshiman important advantage. 2) Buffalohasarguablythequtckest front seven in the NFL. Led by superstar-in-themaking Cornelius Bennett the B~ defence can shut down the Redskins offence. Whenfanslookatlastweeks l 0-6 victory over Denver all they see is the 10 the scored, not the 6 they allowed. They shut down the Broncos, and their 1,000 yd. rusher GastonGreen.Theywereon Elway all day, and Bennett cut down any rushing play even on his opposite side. The Redskins don't even have c 1,000 yd. back, need I sa) more. As far as the air attad goes for the 'Skins, l~t me tel you something... there ain'1 going to be one if the 'Skim don't establish a runntni game. Look for the Posse o. Sanders.

The key tc stopping the pass is to onl) allow the short one, if the coverage ·is good downfteld the 'Skins will have to take the quickie. Oh yes, one fellow I forgot to mention is Bruce Smith. Look for Snµth to provide his presence on the pasi: rush. Unlike the Lions, the Bills will get to Rypien, or at least rush him, one or tw~ team sacks maybe. 3) Tht Bills have Norwood.

"We tell them what is available but we cannot offer anonymous testing right now," said Gail Grier, a nurse at the health service. Grier said the health service could not do anonymous tests - -where a patient 1s· not required to give their name or healthmsurancecard - through the lab they currently use. Toe health service is afflliated with the Queen Elizabeth Hospital of Montreal and they use its bacteriology lab's services. R. Murthy, the assistant chief teclmologlst at the bacteriology lab at the Queen Elizabeth, said they do not do anonymous tests. 1be test must go through a doctor and the doctor is responsible and must lmow the name of the patient although we can be given a number or another name," Murthy said. Toe test is paid for through Quebec health insurance, and so any doctor ordering an HIV test for a patient requires his or her health insurance number. 1hebesttheservicecan do is offer a confidential HIV test, which means information must be recorded in the trt;udent's medical file. • "We try not to be too explicit," said Grier. "We will write that a student received sex education or STD and HIV counselling in their file." However, if that student decided to go ahead with an HIV test after counselling, it would be in his or her file. And the existence of written information showing either positive or negative results could mean problems REFUGEES (cont'd from pg. 3) in their countries. Many agreed. Middleton told the Board thatflnancfallyitwas no problem. With the number of students at LU, the program would cost $0.50 a student. He :also indicated that LUSU generates more than $6,000 on vending machines and video games. And since LUSU already offers bursaries, then this proposal ts quite reasonable. , Greg Beckford was concerned with finance. He said it wo~d be naive to assume many. students would meet these refugees and downplayed the experience value. He said there was no profit in such a program. He then questioned how he could justify to his constituents that their$75 student fee went to charity. The motion to donate the moneywas tabled until January 30. for that student. Ron de Burger, director of the AIDS Education and Awareness Program of the Canadian Public Health Association in Ottawa, said that when it comes to HIV testing, people are concerned about confidential information getting out. 1bere have been a couple of cases in Canada where somebody's name inadvertently got out of the system," said de Burger, citing the Nova Scotia school teacher whose positive HIV test results were discovered by his employer. "He's out of a Job and he can•t get back into the classroom." Toe results of a breach of conftdent1altty can be grim but Concordia students and others in the Montreal area who want an anonymous HIV test can get it done at two centres in Montreal - the CLSC Metro or the CLSC Centrevtlle. (Local community service clinics are called CLSC's in Quebec.) Marlene Yuen-Boyer, the co-ordinator of the AIDS Intervention Centre at the CLSC Metro, said the idea for anonymous testing originated in the United States where they Just wanted to "get the people out to be tested. "In Canada, Quebec was the first province to bring in anonymous testing," she said. There are five anonymous HIV testing centres in Quebec, including the two in Montreal and one each in Sherbrooke, Quebec City, and the Outaouais region. And although the Ontario government announced plans two weeks ago to spend $600,000 on several new test centres in the Ottawa area, Ontario has only one anonymous testing centre in Toronto.

CAMPUS RAPE TRIAL SPARKS ANGER (Source: The Varsity) by Krishna Rau TORONTO (CUP) - In the wake of a December acquittal in one of Canada's first campus date rape trials, women's groups say univers1Ues must take far stronger action. · Robert Van Oostrom, a graduate of Queen's University, was charged last fall with fo1,1r counts of sexual assault against three women between 1987 and 1989. Van Oostrom was a Queen's engineering student at the time, and all the complainants were Queen's students. The women testified that Van Oostrom ignored their refusal to have sex. Van Oostrom testtfted each of the women consented to sex with him. Women in Kingston staged protests after the decision, which the crown ts appealing. Toe crown attorney has since been criticized for saying the judge in the case refused to recognize the seriousness of date rape. Women's groups said the decision could make it even harder for women who had been raped by an acquaintance to go to the police. "Women aren't going to come forward if they think their trials are Just going to be thrown out, anyway," said a member of the Queen's Women's Centre. But other groups felt the extensive coverage of the trial and the actions of the crown might prompt more women to come forward. ' "In a situation like this, we would. encourage women to report date rape or assault," said Susan Bazilli, the legal director of the Toronto-based Metro Action Committee on Public Violence Against Women and Children. '1he crown attorney and the prosecution were very supportive." 1be publicity around the trial might make university administrations recognize that they have a lot of work to do. "They can't tum a blind eye to it. They have to take responsibility for what goes on in their own community." Susan Addario, the University ofToronto's safety officer, said universities have to take notice of the attitudes of Jud~ and others within the legal system, and work to change them. "I'm not saying they Oudges) are neanderthals, misogynists or dinosaurs. They Just haven't heard about the experiences of women. 1be university should be wondering whether we should be taking an active role in Judicial tratntng." She said universities have to decide whether they want to entrust assault cases to the legal system or deal with them internally. . But she said universities sttll have a lot of thinking to do about how to handle such cases. "Do we want to take people who are engaging in sexually abusive behaviour and exclude them from the community? "Do we want to ask them to do some kind of community work which would heal in a more psychic way?" Bazill1 said the recent media spotlight on rape trials might force universtttes to make those decisions. She said the Van Oostrom trial, as well as the Will1am Kennedy Smith date rape trial in Florida, and the recent Supreme Court of Canada decision to strike down the "rape shield" law illustrated the need for more action around sexual assault. "Sexual harassment policies are now part of the policy structure of most universities. Let's take that one step further with sexual assault cases." NEW CUP MEMBER RUFFLES REFORM PARTY FEATHERS (Source: The Muse) ST. JOHN'S (CUP) - A Reform Part of Canada member is pushing the student newspaper at Sir Wilfred Grenfell College to apologize for an article about the party entitled "7 Up. Good Head, and Neo-Fascism". The article appeared in the December issue of Queue as a report on an RPC organiZing meeting. Agnes Fitzpatrick's lawyer has sent a letter to the college's board of directors, demanding an apology from the author, Queue and the college. Lynn Cole said her client "found (the article] to be inaccurate in its description of the party, and offensive in its vulgarity ... Cole said the use of the term "neo-fascism" in the headline was "inaccurate and its connotations offensive." The article also made a number of factual errors about statements by _ Fitzpatrick, and it accused the party of being anti-Newfoundland and anti-French, Cole said. The staff has refused to apologtze and has offered the party an opportunity to respond in the paper. • .. . . . • •• ◄ - · · • ·- - • �1be Argus Page 15 January 23. 1992 CLUB NEWS ORSS -· Lu --ACT Hey!

Peter George 11 BREVITY IS THE SOUL OF WIT 11 TWO MAJOR CAMPUS l88UES The two Issues that stand out in my mind are: a) Provincial cut back in education transfer payments. b) Tuition hikes and the freeze on hiring any new faculty. PERCEPTION OJI' THE RELATIONSHIP The relationship between the two is essential. I cannot stress enough of how Important communication is. We need to work together to make the change required. We are a team and without team effort nothing is accomplished. • GOALS My goals are to represent the needs and wants of the students and to be accessible! Since Lakehead ts geographically unique, with transportation being by air and car only, posting of exam notices during registration, th1s way you can book the seat sales from the airline. BEST/WORST QUALITY My best qualtties are that I have excellent communication skills and delegate effectively. My downfall is that I get to involved and like to see all projects completed personally. Therefore, time-management ts crucial. A WORDY CANDIDATE 11 Cass Koenen 'IWO MAJOR CAMPUS I88UES 11 The vandaltsm that ts occurring on campus this year has to be one of the largest issues we have had to deal with. The violence and destruction that ts occurring is costing the University and the students of this University more and more money every month. In the past there has always been a history of what has been thought to be act of drunken stupidity. This year however we have seen an increasing number ofdeliberate acts, such as the destruction of the entrance signs. It ts Important that we as students take pride in our University and all :work together to help stop this wave of vandalism. In a time where the government has cut back it's funding towards Universtties we can •not afford to be spending our money on senseless vandalism. The other issue that ts facing the University ts the cutbacks in transfer payments from the government and the seven percent increase in tuition. This past fall, the government "clawed back" money that had already been promised to the University. Last Tuesday the Rae Government announced that they were only Increasing the transfer payments to one percent this year and two pereent for the next two years, tuition was also raised another seven percent. This wUl put the University In a very tight financial situation. What it will mean to the students of Lakehead ts a cut back in services and freeze In the hlrlng of staff and faculty. The tuition increase was only announced for one year, however the transfer payments were announced over a three year period. This will cause the Ontario Council of Universities, the Unions, the faculty associations etc. to put pressure on the government to increase tuition again next year and the year after that to make up for the shortfall. PERCEPTION OJI' THE RELATIONSHIP The relationship between the students and the President of the Student Union ts one where the President acts as a spokesperson and negotiator on behalf of the Students with administration and the Community. It is very important that the President is aware of what the students on campus are feeling and what their needs are. The President often ts the sole representative on Admintstrative committees and 1t is important the s \he represents the views of the students accurately. As well the president acts on behalf of the students in the community at large, the city council and both the Federal and Provincial governments. It is the responsibility of the President to fight council for Student Bus passes, and affordable student housing, to lobby the government against tuition Increases and to make administration aware of what the students of this campus need. I feel that it is the responsibility of the President to make the students on campus aware ofwhat and who LUSU ts and what the Student Union does for them. •. Through thevartous conferences, both the Canadian Federation of Students and the Ontario Federation of Students, and by sitting on Senate Executive and the Decanal Search Committee that ts looking into the restructuring of the department of Professional Studies, I feel.that I have already established these lines of communication and that this experience would be Invaluable In the upco~year. GOALS In the co~ year I would continue to work on several projects that have already been started, those being the student bus pass and affordable student housing. I feel that coalttion building between the faculty association and the other Unions on campus is going to become increasingly important as we need their support to keep tuition increases to zero over the next three years and .I would work towards building those relationships. With the OUTPOST doing as much business as it has over the last four months I feel that it ts important that LUSU looks at future of our business and begin to make some long distance financial planning for our operations. Last year during orientation I started the ground work for a program of patrlng first year off-campus students with upper year students. In the coming year I would like to work towards Improving this program and to generally· make off-campus students feel more apart of the University community in general. Finally, I also will continue to lobby the University for a safer, more secure environment. BEST/WORST QUALITY I feel that my worst quality ts being impatient. I tend to want to do too much myself and have to learn to delegate tasks to others. Over the last year I have gotten better, but could still improve some. My best qualtty is the ability to communicate with administration what the students on this campus need. I have been able to develop the skills necessary to lobby administration 1n· a professional and effective manner. The networking that I have done over the past year has been able to help me serve the students better. 11 Adam Matthews 'IWO MAJOR CAMPUS ISSUES 11 IT S THAT SIMPLE? 11 Eveiyone knows that there are numerous issues to be looked at and dealt with in order to help our students. My major concerns have to deal with the cost of tuition and also affordable housing. Tuition prices and housing costs are increasing eveiy year and numerous people feel there ts nothing they can do about it. well they·re wrong! If I'm elected 111 show you how to do it! - . PERCEPTION OJI' THE RELATIONSHIP """ I feel that the president ofLUSU should be there at all times for the students.

I feel it's about time LUSU gets someone like myself who ts wtlling to stick their hand in the fan and accomplish something to LAKEHEADI Paul Moniz 11 2ND TRV 11 'IWO MAJOR CAMPUS ISSUES There are 2 major issues facing LU students today. Toe first and most important. will be the reduction of "transfer payments• to universities, recently announced by the Ontario Government. The ramifications from these cuts will drastically effect us considering LU will most likely compensate for the lost revenue by reducing services, not faculty salaries. Services taken for granted like Student Security, the Fieldhouse swtmmlng pool, lntramurals, Varsity sports ect... could be reduced if not eliminated. This is why electing someone who keeps up with current issues and, with the experience to effectively represent your needs, is of essence. Another major issue that cannot be overlooked is the need for an affordable student health plan. Subsidised health care is available through the "Canadian Federation of Students• and I am completely devoted of brtngtng this to a referendum. IfLU students are in favour, then I ensure you that it w1ll be properly administered and quickly Implemented. PERCEPTION OF THE RELATIONSHIP The LUSU President should when possible, be in his/her office to hear student concerns. They should also know exactly who he/she ts (not like the "who ts Ian Middleton• problem) and that the office has an open door policy. It is also imperative that the President voice these concerns at the "Board of Governors· level and, if necessary, take the tnttiative to organize protest rallies. Because the LUSU President is the chief liaison between the students and LU Administration, it is crucial that Information be related back in the form of Argus reports, class visits ect. .. GOALS A number of my goals for the upcoming year is to see a "Travel Cuts• office OD campus so the students may receive discounted air fares. I am also committed to implementing a student health plan for those who need tt and, meeting with the new Thunder Bay mayor to ensure he does not neglect his promises towards affordable student housing and student-rate bus passes. Ensuring that the Outpost does not run a deficit and, obtaining a transmitting licence for our radio station, ts also among my priorities BEST/WORST QUALITY I believe that my best qualtty is that I am focused and persistent. If a concern ts brought to my attention, I wt11 see to tt that its resolved Do matter how long lt takes. Of my worst qualtty, I am unable to pin point anything major which might effect my role as President, yet, I Invite everyone to come and get to know me so you may discover for yourselves. 11 Brian Torry 'IWO MAJOR CAMPUS ISSUES HAIR FORCE 11 The issue of improved Student Services, especially In the area of Health Care and also in off campus housing and improved services. Probably the greatest Issue of present times, is one of exceptional importance, is the disastrous financial situation presented to us through higher tuition and reduced gov't spending and it w1ll be necessary to deal with these problems to ensure continued success for students. PERCEPTION OF THE RELATIONSHIP In recent years LUSU has become more of a giant corporation than a Student Union. Though it ts important to run the organization as a business the LUSU president should be a representative of the students not their CEO. • GOALS -Get students involved in LUSU - pride In LU. -Better off-campus housing services for students -Big brother/sister programs for all departments (voluntary) -Merchandislng/promotioncampatgn to raise awareness within Thunder Bay and other Universities -Upgrading of Residence facilities - allowing married couples to cohabitate in residence -Declare LU bilingual BEST/WORST Q.UALITY Best-hair Worst-hair PROFILE �TheArgus Page 3 January30, 1992 VICE PRESIDENT - FINANCE Tim Dowdy 11 SPACE CONTINUES TO BE A PROBLEM ON CAMPUS.

Tanya Tougas 11 RUNNING FOR VP OUTPOST DEll'ICIT The intent of the OU'IFOST is not that it be supported by additional funds, the OlJTI>OST should be operating at break-even or at a profit And if it is not, it is essential to determine what exactly ls the source of the problem and talce corrective measures to alleviate the financial burden. In light of the recent financial deficit, prtmartly caused by start-up costs of the OlJTI>OST, an Operating Fund has been established for the OUfPOST. The $2 cover-charge collected from non-LU students to the OlJTI>OST will go directly to this fund as well as any surplus (or profits) the OU'IFOST will make. This fund ls a very important financial move for the OUTPOST. This fund will grow to a predetermined level (dollar amount). It is important to have this fund available in the case of an unforseen event so money will be available to cover the daily overhead expenses that must be paid. For example, a situation may arise such as a faculty strike. This may mean many students leave campus, forcing the OUfPOST to be closed for a couple of weeks. It would be a situation like this, not forseeable, that the management of the OurPOST anci LUSU can draw from this fund in order to remain above water until the normal revenues (profits) can be realized from regular operation. When this opera~ng fund reaches the pre-determined level, the money's over and above will go back to the students in the way of new seIVices or events from the OUTPOST. SPACE PROBLEM This year LUSU has had a plethora of new clubs developing on campus. This is great! However, the problem of limited space has magntfted. I have ideas of my own to accommodate this problem. For example. we may. be able to set up a common club headquarters for clubs that don't require as much office space. These clubs can share office equipment, and hold club meetings in the LUSU club room. I feel however, the people involved in clubs are most aware of their requirements and have many ideas of their own. This ls why I intend to organize a con;unlttee of club - Fil reps to address such issues as space, key and funding allocation. GOALS As V.P. Finance, there are many initiatives 1 will address. Among which include: Fall and Summer operations of the OUTPOST. short and long term planning for the OUTPOST and LUSU, Phase II of the Radio Station, and the implementation of a Climbing Wall. As V.P. Finance, I will continue to emphasize funding toward FREE and/or subsidl7.ed ticket prices for events held by the OlJTI>OST. In addition, 1 will support funding of a variety of entertainment. As V.P. Finance This spring I will explore many alternatives for the summer operation of the OU1POST. I feel it is important that we choose an alternative that is flnanctally stable, as well as in the best interest of our shareholders (YOU)! LUSU has undergone substantial growth in infa-structure, prtmartly due to the OUTPOST. At this point, I feel it is essential that as V.P. Finance, I initiate the development of short and long-term planning. In doing so, we can identify any potential opportunities or problems we may face in our operations. Uke you, I don't want any surprises! This coming year, the LU Radio Station will be advancing into Phase II & III. We will be applying for a transmitting license. I feel this is an excellent venture, and will support your views and interests when considering fund allocation. Finally, indMduals on campus are pursuing the implementation of a Climbing Wall. Providing a few wrlnkles are ironed out, I feel this is a good investment for Lakehead Students to talce on. It's a healthy alternative Conn of recreation! BEST/WORST QUALITY My best and worst quality can be seen as similar, that ls I am l1v1ng off campus. This is my best quality because I can best represent the concerns of students from Thunder Bay (like myself) as well as students living off-campus. However, I am aware of the needs and interests of on-campus students, and will be available to see all students. VICE PRESIDENT - FINANCE �The Argus Page 4 January 30. 1992 -y p - STUDENT ISSUES VANDALISM ON CAMPUS IS A BIG ISSUE, WILL YOU ADDRESS THIS ISSUE? WHICH SOCIAL PROBLEMS ON CAMPUS WOULD YOU LID TO DEAL WITH? WHAT ARE YOUR GOALS FOR THE UPCOMING YEAR? WHAT IS YOUR BEST AND WORST QUALITY? Chris Klimushko "COHESIVE HAIR" VANDALISM -Keep students aware of the effects of vandalism (cost) -Education via various avenues ofcommunication (Argus. Radio Station, Poster Campaign) -Implementation of campus. crime stoppers program -More co-operation with Thunder Bay Police-more care patrols,_foot patrol for events SO.C IAL PROBLEMS 1. Women's Issues-make sure that women feel safe on campus at all times. -participation of women to assist in implementing programs and services that will create a new ideal abnosphere. 2. Health Care-getting on health care plan that will cover off campus health services. i.e. dental, prescriptions etc. 3. Alcohol Awareness-continuing the campaign to encourage responsible drinking-encouraging designated drivers program. GOALS -Get students involved in LUSU-pride in LU -Better off-campus housing services for students -Big brother/sister programs for all deparbnents (voluntary) -Merchandising campaign to raise awareness and make others aware of LU in T.Bay and across Canada. -Upgrading of Residence facilities-allowing married couples to cohabitate in Residence BEST/WORST QUALITY VANDALISM "THE FISHER QUEEN" Vandalism is of major concern especially this past year, the foremost example is the childish action which took place in EarFalls Residence. It was from the vandalism here which saw the expulsion of six students from all parts of residence . I believe their ban is justified and that this action was a step in the right direction. Vandalism is not going to stop and we shouldn't kid ourselves or anyone else. The question arises thus, how far do we go to punish the masses for acts of few, if they can not be found out? I personally do not like the idea of "passing the buck" as it were, it can't even be said that the vandalism taken place on campus is done by our student body. Thus it becomes hard to justify any action against our student community. My best solution is show students right at the beginning of the year the costs of vandalism, the money comes from ie: cutting out offurther and better education and higher student fees. Hey were all adults. Lets act that way! Before we lose prtvileges such as a licensed bar, lets not kid ourselves it could happen! • SOCIAL PROBLEMS I believe that Lakehead has to worry more than just social problems on campus...,What i mean is that, I am particularity concerned about the fact every two days one garbage bin full of good food coming from Versa is thrown away quite hastily. Do we not have a ·shelter" here in ThunderBay? Yes, I believe so! This is a major social problem especially when this campus can come out and provide some very much needed food, it probably wouldn't even cost us anything as they would gladly come to pick it up every day for free. Here we do the community a great service and we as students lend a hand in waste management and we gain in the appreciation of the citizens ofThunderBay, who may now open their doors and homes to future students. As for on campus social problems. I believe that people in different faculties don't know anything or little about another faculty, thus we arrive at the constantly put down of Outdoor recreation students who's course load is two times that of any Arts students. There course sounds easy by name but thats all. Thus basically we have to learn about each other. GOALS Hair cp Walsh 11 THAT S CORRELATIVE POLYPHILOPROGENITIVE TO YOU VANDALISM 11 Christine Fisher 11 We should be using the Argus as a medium for exposing the perpetrator and ensuring that they are persecuted to the full extent of the la~. i would also suggest an increase in student security on the prime nights (thursdays). Vandalism seems to stem from drunken folks' propensity for a primordial response to personal frustration. Perhaps these folks would find other means of venting their frustration (self-manipulation) if they knew that they may be exposed to their peers via the Argus. SOCIAL PROBLEMS Environmental concerns continue to be the most pressing issues on the planet for obvious reasons. At a local level, ECHO)) continues to lead the way with activities such as the upcoming Environmental Awareness Week. The environmental problem is one facet in a greater social problem that can only be resolved through a change in people's thinking. With the rise of grassroots clubs such as B.G.L.L.U., heterosexist and homophobic attitudes may eventually change. If people had a little more humility about themselves and their place in the universe, many would not be as frustrated or insensitive to changing times. Student apathy is obviously a problem which stifles any attempt to eJfect change. An innovative and creative way of approaching the aforementioned social problems will have to be sought. We must·attempt to remove the rigid bind of massproduced solutions. GOALS -As with past years, i'd still enjoy attempting to subvert the dominant paradigm. In the words of NOMEANSNO: Question the answers, stir the solutions: in the end, for light, you must .b urn your conclusions. BEST/WORST QUALITY Best Quality: A humorously creative yet strident belief in reform. Worst Quality: i'm a procrastinator. My goals for the upcoming year are to give students the best responsible secure time that they can achieve in one year and hopefully years to come. Another goal is to ensure that the courses offered in the calender are actually offered in the up coming year for students now find that because of courses not offered the year , disallows them to take a desired course in the next academic year, thus a crucial minn could be lost and future employment as well. BEST/WORST QUALITY My best quality would have to be that i'm very approachable and open to ideas and criticism while maintaining a sense of humour to keep the edge off. My worst quality pushing my point too far, which could be a good thing in the position of V.P. Studentlssues. 11 Craig Grice DOES BO KNOW LUSU? 11 VANDALISM As everyone knows vandalism has become quite a hot topic around campus. Rumours have it, they may even close the Outpost. However, the Outpost is notjust a service to the small handful of people vandalizing but a service to the entire student body. Idealistically, increased security and lighting~ould best solve the problem. Realistically, because of budget constraints, it depends upon the students to take action against vandalism. We must police ourselves. Many concerned students have brought forth the idea of a •crime stopper" program. The university would give a small financial reward for any tips leading to the arrest of a vandal. On a larger scope, it would be most effective for not only the students safety but to the protection of our university community. SOCIAL PROBLEMS Although vandalism is a social issue, there are other social problems which are frequently mentioned. As Residence Programmer, I see a large gap between residance and off-campus student. Both share the university facilities, yet one goes way and one goes the other. As a student senator and residance programmer I have learned concepts that could bridge the two groups. Another social problem is the Outpost. Many people have complained about service items that include food. waitstaff and doorstaff. There are also many complaints I have heard. What I would like to see is more consistency wttl1 service and regulations. Some other socila grievances I would like to deal with are better accessibility for thhe physically challenged, better communication between facilities. and more organized registration week. GOALS As for goals for next year, I would like to see a health plan implemented, and a men's volleyball team. By working with administration I want birthdates on student cards, an increased budget for off campus housing and to increase security regardless of budget constraints. We. must work around the situation to make our campus look and feel safe. BEST/WORST QUALITY As for myself, I would say my worst quality would be the constant work I take on. I have a difllcult time delegating authority. Mt best ·quality would be my dedicated, personable attitude toward every single issue I acquire.

Wlllla111s Beg,oads In theJan.23. 1992 issue of The Argus I ran a stoiyentitled "WUUams and Peterson Leave Volleyball Squad". In that article I took it upon myself to speculate to why Kelly Williams had decided to leave the team as I wrote; "Veteran Kelly Williams has quit the volleyballsquadasofWednesday. It is presumed that WHltams was upset after losing her starting setter position to second year player Jo-Anne Hood." In response Williams pas written a formal letter to myself cx:platntngher situation. As this article originally appeared in the Sports section I feel it is necessary to reprint part of Kelly's letter and I do so at her discretion. Hopefully this letter will clear up the situation.- Sports ed. "'lb.e fact that! am not playing volleyball any longer has absolutely nothing to do with losing my position as setter.

January 18 while playing at home against Windsor I played one set and then found myself sitting on the bench. This is what I was upset about. after putting three and a half years into the volleyball program at LU I felt the last place I deserved to be was on the bench. When I spoke to Claude [Lapre. head coach] on Monday, January 20th concerning my departure from the team, I explained to him that I was unhappy sitting on the bench, however. there were other factors which brought me to my decision." - Kelly Wllllains... -... - - V-Ball Squad Sweeps Waterloo The LU Womens volleyball squad once again asserted itself this past weekend with yet another sweep, this time versus the home Waterloo team. The first match saw the NorWesters play without head coach Claude Lapre, on account of suspension. Lapre, who later wathced the tapes of the games, said the girls "lacked concentration" and took a long time to really get Into the match, although the team was delayed about four hours at the Thunder Bay airport after their plane was struck by the wing of another. The team pulled out a 3-0 set win by scores of 15-13, 15-9 and 15-13. Leading the strike were Kelly Breutigam who had 29 kllls. On Saturday the ladies took the match by an Identical 3-0 set score, w1nn1ng by the scores of 15-12, 15-11 and 157.

While acting. directing, producing. raising a family and travelling abroad, BW Cosby still finds the time to write books. Why does he do it? (you might ask) after reading his latest book entitled Childhood, the answer in his own words ls quite simply •to entertain.• stocy after another - he compares childhood back then with childhood of today. He humorously points out how children have changed from when he was a kid. By g1v1ng insight into tales from his own children, he mocks the difference between then and now. One can only conclude that there ls as confusing a lack of understanding between adult and child back then as there ls today. Cosby's writing ls a lot like his acting. and his stand up. If you are looking for a book rich in plot and literary device perhaps this ls not the novel for you. If however you are in for some light, entertaln1ng reading, look for Bill Cosby, that ls what he does best. Childhood does not have a distinguishable plot, climax, hero or even a lady in distress for that matter, it ls not a romance, a mystery-, or a drama. It ls a very interesting collection of stories from the childhood of Bill Cosby. Cosby relives his boyhood and ls kind enough to share it with the reader in the style he ls famous for. Regardless of how the experience effected him at the time Cosby finds in each situation a abundance of humour and forces the reader to laugh alongwith him. He shares some of his most embarrassing moments, (like bedwetting) and some of his most glorious (such as being a school cross guard): Cosby does not Just tell one BOOGIE CHILLUN' Music: WITH THE HOOK from his style, indeed, sometimes his own songs, incorporating it into their own style, and subsequently releasing records with theiruniquequality to them.

Both the afternoon and evening shows w1ll be FREE of charge. The group focuses on the causes, the problems and the results of deforestation of the rainforests around the world. Although humour ls their presenting technique the importance of the rainforest issue ls very clear. Ruckus in the Rainforest is based out of Guelph and ls associated out of Guelph University. They have gained the reputation of a vecy entertaining yet informative group. Any of the many people who saw them last year, during Lakehead's first annual Environmental Awareness Week, knows the comic quality oftheir performance. This year's performance promises to be even better. The cast contains more people and there are a variety Doors released arrangements of Hooker's composltlons. In fact, Hooker's ortginal "CrawlingKlng Snake", a perfect vehicle for his powerful bark, was the Doors' selection for the bluesy •L.A. Woman· album, yet Hooker reclaims his song with a tremendous performance on •Mr. Lucky•, with help from Keith Richards of the Stones. Hooker has released over 100 albums and has been per-· forming for roughly 50 years. In recent times, he ls not dimlnlshing his production. His 1989 release, the critically acclaimed -Tue Healer·, peaked at 62 on billboard and won him a Grammy for the duet with Bonnie Raitt of his classic, •rm in the Mood•, which, amazingly, was done 1n only one take. Other performers came out in support. like Carlos Santana, Robert Cray and Canned Heat, yet the album's most powerful tracks occur in his solo tracks, like the brilliant piece of reminiscence (orls it pinlng?) oflost of new skits. Ruckus in the Rainforest has a dynamic flare that encourages interaction with the environment and·provokes the mind. They are musical and have a vecy lively seventy minute act. Their show ls an entertainment mustlll The afternoon show, starting at 2:00 pm, takes place in the Agora. The evening show, starting after 7:00, in The Study, other programs w1ll be in process. •• The bar w1ll be open in The Study so you can sit back and enjoy the show and hang around after their performance.

STBANGIATO: ti tDoiee fiom ~e smljettb Uubleri~ by B. Ziggy .Emmanuel Overdrive, J 992. The stranger took me by surprise as I tottered out of the Argus office. He was concealed behind one of the mammoth orange refuse oontainers that so enthusiastically dominate the Vending Room. Out he sprang, clutching a cheap handgun. Was some gun control coalition shooting a commercial at my expense? Hts gun went off, the bullet struck me square in the belt buckle and !mocked me flat onto the Vending Room Floor. I cringed as he loomed over me, preparing the coup de grace. "You're not Brian B.. • he sakl. "You·re no Jack Ruby your-self,• I replied. The bullet had ricocheted Into a coffee machine and now fresh versa-brewed mud was pouring out onto the floor. A couple of bearded students In engtneertngjackets were helpIng themselves. My assaulter offered a hand which I graciously refused. BrushJng off any of hJs halfwitted apologies, I hastened to the bookstore, where I fantasized about the textbooks I couldn't afford. Then it was off to the Agora. where now I sit composing. Apparently there's a little too much empty space here in the Agora. The space committee, an agoraphobic organtzaUon presumably In charge of such things, has decreed that a lot of this empty space be destroyed to make way for~fl.clal trees, plants, furniture, and Looking Up magazine stands. I wonder if the space committee Is aware of a more sert- ous empty-space excess on campus. On Analyst Annie's mailbox, to be exacl AA ls getting awfully lonely here. When questioned about the situation, WSU president Ian Middleton ctted the Nattve Student's proposed Pow-wow and ECHO's EnvlronmentalAwarenessdJsplay as events that may suffer from the empty space clestructton. Presumably, all such events could be moved to other high-traffic areas such as the tunnel Just outside the LUSU office or the dance floor of the Outpost. The Outpost has also been generating opinions among the socially conscious Joumallsts of Thunder Bay. When I sat down In the space-dominated Agora today, the first thing I noticed was a trampled bit of newsprint covered in mud and graffiti at my feel Ithadseemed unimportant at the time, but now, as I examine it, what should It be but a copy of the January 10th Chronicle Journal? The word 'pub' was featured on the oplnlon page. I scanned the underlying edltortal. The uncredited author of the piece was under the delusion that the 'Post was built from taxpayer's dollars. Yes, this ls circuitously true, as a great number of students are now mournfully taxed on their OSAP loans, and no student can escape the almlghty GST. Student Union electlons are next week: even though I have little faith in democracy as practised by the U.S., C~ada, and LUSU, I will vote and I encourage you to do so as well. Which ls worse, voting a few loose cannons Into posltlons of au- thority or not havtng the opportunity to dump those same cannons the next year? As Steve Earle says, "If you don't vote, don't bitch.• From the Agora I can look up and see that I'm in the shadows of the Exam office. Perhaps someone up there will tell me why I'm not allowed to write my supplemental (whoops, special) examination untll July when I've had an ample chance to forget everything I didn't know the first time. Maybe It's because I'll be working full time and I'll be able to afford my textbook. Maybe on another day I'll go up there. This orgy of opinion has left me famished.

The two most popular TEDs currently advertised are Thigh Master (plugged by Suzanne Somers) and Thigh Ton~r. From these commercials, 1t would seem that thighs are the trendy part of the anatomy right now. Fat, flabby thighs are out and well-toned thighs are in. However, a big problem with TEDs ts they only concentrate on flabby thighs. After people use these devices their thighs become toned, but what about their double chins, their droopy butts and most Importantly, their beer bellies? I can Just Imagine TED users' friends saying, •Gee, she's got a nice pair of thighs, but get a load of that beer belly.• So Individuals seeking the perfect body must watt for as yet uninvented devices such as the Chin Chiseler, Butt Buster and Belly Beater. Another problem for TED users ts the Oprah Effect. This condition ls named In honour of the talk show host, Oprah Winfrey. You will remember that Oprah went on a liquid diet and after a couple months, she almost disappeared, and became lmown as Uttle Opie to thousands of adortng fans. However, when she went off that diet, she practically doubled In size and earned the nickname, The Grand 01' Oprah. Ollat terrible pun ls for all the Counuy and Western fans out there). This boomer• ' ang process became known as the Oprah Effect. and it applies to anyone who stops using some trendy diet food or exercise device. For TED users, it means that once they, stop using their TEDs, their thighs will became twice as flabby as they were originally. Although most women will probably quit using thelr1EDs shortly after purch.a stng them, dlehard users who over-In-. dulge 1n the thigh-enhancing process will develop more than toned thighs. After a while their •• 1egs will look like those of female Bulgarian shotputters. You lmow the kind of legs I mean, like Arnold Schwarzenegger's -- all lmotted With veins sticking oul And women purchaslng1EDs probably don't want legs like that. That's why I think 1EDs should be promoted to people Interested 1n body building. Arnold Schwaneneggerwould be an excellent spokesman for such devices. He could hold up a 1ED and say something like. "Look at my thighs. Are zey not bulging and taut? If you vantmanly thighs Ukemlne you must buy zls or you vlll have liWe gtrly-man thighs for the rest of your pathetic Ufe and ze girls will loff atyou on ze beach.
