Nor'Westers still in race for /CHA crown The Lakehead University Nor'Wester hockey team kept their league championship hopes alive as they defeated the Wisconsin State University Yellow Jackets twice last weekend. In the first game, played Friday, the Yellow Jackets jumped into a 2-0 lead by the three minute mark of the first period only to have the Nor'Westers roar back to take a 6-2 lead by the end of the first session. The second period was all Wisconsin State as they scored three unanswePed goals to trail 6-5 at the second break. Both teams opened up to provide the fans with a fast rushing p(!riod that had the score deadlocked at 7-7 with two minutes remaining in the game. Lakehead University then struck for two fast goals to win the game 9-7. The second game started off on a much more cautious note with the first period ending with neither team able to score a goal. At the 5 minute mark of the second period Boyd Hussey was "axed" by Bruce Chicoine and suffered a broken jaw. Goal tending duties were then taken over by Randy Wilkie. By the end of the second stanza Wisconsin State had taken a 2-1 lead, Lakehead University's only mark coming from the stick of Clare Battiston. Dave Siciliano scored the tieing marker at 1:59 of the third period setting the stage for one of the most exciting periods of hockey Lakehead University has been a part of this year. Murray Smith scored what proved to be the winner at 19:50 of the final stanza as he deflected a shot by Clare Battiston that irolled up the arm and over the shoulder of Gary Lapinski, the Wisconsin State University goalie, and dropped just inside the goal crease. Lakehead University now has an ICHA record of 4 wins and 2 losses, tieir..g them with Bemidji State College who have an identical record, both teams trailing Lake Superior State College who have a perfect 6-0 record. Lakehead University· has asked for the indefinite suspension of Bruce Chicoine leading to a life suspension from the ICHA for his unprovoked attack on goalie Boyd Hussey. Said Henry Akervall, coach of the Nor'W esters, "Our league is a fast, strong hockey league with the emphasis on good sportsmanship and the maintaining of high academic standards. Chicoine has broken the good sportsmanship code with the most vicious slash I have seen in hockey. A man like that does not belong in this league." Nor'Westers travel to Brandon for two games January 13 and 14 before their next home games, January 16 and 17 against the University of Winnipeg. Holidays hamper basketballers' performance '·We only played one decent half in the two games we played over the weekend," lamented Coach George Birger when reviewing his team's performance against the Wisconsin State · University Yellow Jackets Friday and Saturday. "The three week layoff since our last game (for exams and holidays) was too long and the fellows didn't really get untracked until the second half of the second game." The first game Friday had Lakehead University trailing by three at the half but the Yellow Jackets came on strong to win 69-57. The Nor'Westers were led by their high scoring forward Don Holmstrom who scored 21 points with Roy Holman hooping 12, and Lloyd Koski 10. Lou Pero was the top rebounder on both teams as he gathered in 15 from the boards. The team made only 23 of 92 attempts from the field for a 25 percent average while outshooting the_ir opponents by 12. The margin of victory for t h e Yellow Jackets, who took only 80 shots, w a s their better shooting average of 34 percent. The s e c o n d basketball game, played Saturday, was much closer as the Lakehead University five raised their shooting percentage to 27 percent while holding their opponents to 32 percent. The N or'Westers trailed by 5 at the end of the low scoring first half, 18-13 but were never able to close the gap as they lost 54-49. Again it was Don Holmstrom w.ith 27 points and Rob Woods following with 12. This brings the. season record to 6 wins and 8 losses for the Lakehead University hoopsters. A modernistic sculpture by one of Ontario"s noted artists Gustav Weisman, A.R.C.A., O.S.A. graces the foyer of Lakehead University's new .$2,500,000 library. The giant sculpture was installed over the holidays and was there to greet s urprised students on Wednesday morning when classes resumed. The work has no name and has no theme. "It's identity is its exi st ence and therefore i t needs no name, " explained Mr. Weisman. "There is no theme because the sculp• ture is an experience. I would like people to come to it with an open mind and experience it in passing. I want them to come to know it and enjoy it by becoming involved. Do not look for what it represents or means but allow its shape, fonns and lines to reveal its identity to you as a personal thing."• Mr. Weisman is well known in this area. An instructor in drawing and painting stain glass design at the Ontario College of Art in Toronto, he taught at the Quetico Centre three years ago and two summers ago returned to the Lakehead to teach at the Lakehead School of Fine Art. He has spent much time in this region off and on drawing and painting and has spent two years here as a forest ranger. Although Mr. Weisman stresses that the sculpture has no theme, he does admit his special feeling for the north affected the design. "It is 0£ the north .. . the spirit of the north shore 0£ Lake Superior can be found there ... the underlying spirit of the land and what comes of the land," he mused. "It is timeless in this sense ... not of today or yesterday but of all time.•• A Lithuanian by birth, Mr. Weisman came to Winnipeg as a young boy and received his early education there. He took his early training in Toronto and later earned scholarships for postgraduate work in Mexico in sculpture and fresco painting. Other examples of his sculpture can be found in Toronto University Lutheran Church and the Pitney Bowes Company Building in Toronto. His stained glass work can be seen in St. Phillips Anglican Church in. Toronto, Westbury United Church, Ottawa and the Ontario Ladies College in Whitby. He is also past president of the Canadian Group of Painters. The sculptu~e is on display from 8:30 a.m. until midnight Monday through Friday and 9 a.m. witil 5 p.m. on Saturdays. University President Dr. W. G. Tamblyn said the wiiversity library was the natural setting for the sculpture. "Art has an important role to play in a library and for that matter in university life in general. People read books for relaxation, information and to help develop their abilities to understand and appreciate the world about them . Art has the same role to play."' "We are fully aware of the fact that it is the function of a university to introduce and expose students to art and art forms just as we introduce them to great literature and music . Our mosaic sculpture in the original university building and our new sculpture are two steps towards this aim. It is my own personal hope in the future that the university will be able to develop an art gallery for the enjoyment of not only our university community but the people of Northwestern Ontario as a whole."• Dr. Tamblyn explained that many universities have been able to build up an impressive gallery through the co-operation of local donations. He said the University was hopeful that a donor would be found for the new sculpture was a beginning step. UBC student Senators frustrated, want to resign Vancouver (CUP) -Three frustrated student Senators at the University of British Columbia want to resign. Senators Ray L a r s e n, Gabor Mate, and Kirsten Emmott said, Thursday, January 4, students are being ignored by the Senate. They said the Senate concerns itself with irrelevant issues. The fourth student Sena~ tor, Mark Waldman, will not resign. Students will be asked at a meeting Tuesday, January 9, if they agree with the resignations. All three say they will abide by the wishes of the students they represent. They attacked the Senate mainly because it voted against opening its meetings, because it is ineffectual in dealing with the Board of Governors, and because it is inefficient in its work. The Senators were all elected on a platform of open meetings. "The motion for an -open gallery was defeated 40 votes to 15," said Larsen. "The students' wishes were completely ignored." He said they called for the open meeting vote because of a Canadian Union of Students resolution which states that students should refuse to serve on any closed university governing body. The Senate later campr~ mised on the issue, agreeing to publish an agenda of meetings and a summary of the business covered at each session. Senator Mate said the Senate is ineffectual because of the University's structure. "The students should run the university," he said. "The Senate and the Board of Governors should be abolished." Senator Emmott termed the Senate a rubber stamp with no real power. "The faculties recommend t h e changes and the Board of Governors allots the money," she said. The three also complained of long, tedious meetings which discussed trivia, and the insufficient use of the Senate committees. UBC is among six Canadian universities having students seated on the Senate or equivalent body. �January 11, 1968 THE ARGUS Page 3 International night planned International Night is being sponsored this year by the Arts Society, and will be one of the featured events of Winter Carnival. The programme hopefully will include folk music, folk dancing, et al, from the different cultural groups on campus and in the Lakehead area. In order to make this event possible, we are requesting any student or students on campus or in the area to lend us a hand by preparing an act for the pro- gramme. The act should be characteristic of that person's particular culture. The programme has been planned for 8:00 p .m. on Saturday, January 20, in the University Centre Theatre. There is not much time left and participation by the student body is of utmost importance. Please contact Pentti Paularinne or any of the Arts Executive in the Arts Society office immediately if you are interested in performing. Miss Canada to attend Donna Barker, Miss Dominion of Canada, will be a guest at the International Show. Miss BaTker w ill be in the Lakehead Saturday, to take part in the activities of the University's Winter Carnival. Hopefully, the programme for the International Night w i 1 1 include the judging of the Carnival Princesses in their for mal gowns, with Miss Dominion of Canada as an honourary judge. NOTICE TO L.U.

Why two years with Cuso may put you five years ahead in your field. For one thing, there's the kind of experience you gain, working in your own field overseas in a developing country for two years. The salary is low, but almost invariably you get broader, more varied experience, and get it earlier than you would in Canada. You learn to handle responsibility-and prove itin a job that lets you test your knowledge, prove your theories, experience the challenge of a different culture. And it is a challenge, working -through Canadian University Service Overseas to help close the knowledge gap that exists between developed and developing nations. Right now, about 900 Canadians are working for CUSO-a non-profit, independent organization-in 40 developing countries around the world, spreading their technical and professional knowledge wherever their particular skills have been requested. But for every request that's filled, so many go unanswered-for lack of people like you. How about it? Would you like to play a small but important part in the nation-building that's going on in Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean?

So far we have presented a number of thought-provoking discussions on topics covering politics (the Ontario election), economics (T h e Myth of Inflation), and social problems (Racial Discrimination in Northern Ontario), as well as the top rated Canadian movie "Nobody Waved Goodbye." We have had numerous discussions on Model Parliament and its tole in the University and our role in it, and we have been very active in the Lakehead NDP Riding Associations and the Provincial and Federal NDP and NDY organizations. Again, for the rest of the academic year, we intend to continue with this kind of a programme. What we are presenting of course is not necessarily the views of the NDP on or off campus; our purpose is to be thought-provoking and to present discussions on topics which the student body would otherwise not hear. Therefore the purpose behind our activities is to inake everyone at Lakehead University aware of the problems that do exist and of the possible solutions for these problems. We are always looking for suggestions for topics for presentation. If you have any suggestions, please contact any .member of the NDP club, or better yet join the Lakehead University NDP club and get involved. 111111111 1 ,, ' 11111111/llll/ I 1111111111 /: 1111\\\\1 1111 111111//11 illl/1 • 111\11~\.~ •• ~ own Yearbook Only $5.00 ■ I/ll)JI l. . l111Jlil, IIill la1'.w." -was ~ hoppbtgati a I \\\ill COI.U're sou-i-lt- -l,y_;- ,1/{) an! ·Me perils -f.iAI N A TRUE.

We do not apologize for what others read into articles printed. And we cannot apologize for having forced newspapers on defenseless high school students -- they run to get them. (And usually there are not enough to go around.) • We mail newspapers to aldermen in both cities as a gesture of good wi If, and in an attempt to keep them up to date on university thinking, so that they may have perhaps a better understanding of the social phenomenon called the student, invading the Lakehead in ever-increasing numbers every year. We cannot help but feel sorry for them in the midst of their follies, publicity stunts, and hypocritical puritanism. Even to think that a withdrawa I of funds from the University would scare students into apologising suggests a complete lack of comprehension of the situation, and moreover an uneducated approach to basic psychology.

Obscenity is another matter. It carries the implications of morality. Morality is an individual concern. Anyone has the right to complain about something which offends his personal taste. But such a complaint is solely personal. If an elected representative uses the power inherent in the position to which he has been elected to further persona I pri nciples, that person is guilty of betraying the measure of trust placed in him by his electorate. the canadian draft problem Draught dodging has taken on a new significance in the Lakehead as in other parts of Ontario. Once again our provincial and federal governments have seen fit to tax the sinner who enjoys a pint every now and then. Not only do the governments get a I ittle extra, but the pub keepers have jumped on the front of the band wagon too. They have increased the cost of a seven and one half ounce glass of beer from 15¢ (the good old days) to a new high 20¢. In a conversatioh with a representative of Dorans Northern - Ontario Breweries, we learned the cost of a 12½ gallon keg of draught beer has risen $2.62. However, the pub keeper collects an increased amount of nearly $8.00 extra profit on that same keg of draught. That six extra dollars comes straight from our pockets, and everyone knows that we don't have much bread to start with. And what about the waiter? No longer ·does that extra nickel change gotowards a glass for him; his boss has looked after that. What can be done about this entire preposterous situation? You could smash draught glasses in protest, picket your local pub, even go on the wagon. Or why doesn't everybody switch to grass? We learned in an intervi·ew with a long-haired spokesman for the Joi ly Green Joint Home-Grown Marijuana Company, a subsidiary of the Flaccid Acid Distributing Co., that pot prices wi 11 be steady for some time yet. Since this substance is illegal, the government can't impose a tax on it and start inflating prices, snowballing them out of proportion. This could be an alternative. A more realistic approach could be an on-campus, cut-rate pub. Laurentian has one. Are we to stand by idly and watch them revel in their glory while we have to treck all the way to the crest of the hi II to quench that terrible thirst? The time is ripe for action on this issue. In the future, we wi II be circulating a questionaire. Please answer it, as this will be of primary importance. And we•re getting mighty thirsty. A portrait of the artist at work letters to the editor Colborne's verbiage stands corrected The following is my answer to Mr. R. D. Colborne's rebuttal to my article "On Student Power" Dear Mr. Colborne: Your letter threw me in quite a tizzy: All those big words have made me dizzy. But, from your verbiage I gather: To disagree with you means to "blather". My numerous dictionaries don't yield Some of the words you use as a shield: For instance, I don't have the faintest idea What the meaning is of "panathea". But then , I suppose, there is no telling, You might have developed a lisp in your spelling So that, what should have been merely a "c" Came out as a grandiose t-h-e-! If you meant "panacea", this to me Means "a universal remedy", And thus it appears that you, too, are teaching The very same things that I have been µeaching: That organization and unity Are an all-encompassing remedy Aiding students who favor democratization And deplore academic regimentation. So you see, in your letter you finnly agree With pther "apologists" and me. It would seem you resigned as a visionary Because of the lack of a dictionary• And just so that, in your next syllogism, You may accuse me of "mercantilism": Drop in at the Bookstore, and have a look: We have many an excellent reference book. The next time your vitriol starts 'to bubble A good thesaurus will save ,you much trouble. We'll try to serve you as best we can .... Yours very truly, Day Laban. A coffee house Sir: Two years ago a group of students at Founders Campus, York U. started a coffee house in an unused room. Today this coffee house is a focal point for many student gatherings, poetry readings - and musical activities. It has increased student oncampus, non-academic activity and supplied a much needed centre for a commuter college . Would it not be possible to follow the York example here at the Lakehead? Few expenditures and little work are required. The lowercafe- teria would supply the small area required. A few tablecloths could be made 'by students and candles could be fitted into bottles (I'm sure bottles could easily be obtarned). A small wooden platform could be constructed and coffee and (possibly) sandwiches could be obtained occasionally. The very existence of this coffee house would act as a catalyst for a number of activities and events not yet existent in the Lakehead. Could not the A.M.S. Council and/ or a group of students act upon this proposal? Pat O Neil) Piss - poor sportsmanship . It was around the 14 minute mark in the second period of the second hockey game this past weekend. From the sketchy accounts we have received, we understand the puck was in the corner at Lakehead's end. One Wisconsin player was backing in on the Lakehead goalie. The goalie pushed him out of the crease, and, tapping him on the shoulder with his stick, said "Watch it buddy -- stay out of the crease." As the play moved out and down the ice, the Wisconsin player turned and golfed his stick at the head of the Lakehead goalie, breaking the goalie's jaw. As the goalie slowly bled, the Wisconsin man went off the ice. Five minutes for slashing, and a game misconduct. That was Saturday. On Sunday afternoon, Boyd Hussey, Lakehead's injured goalie, was in the operating room of St. Joseph's Hospital having his jaw wired back together. Hockey is a tense game, we will agree but smashing in an opponent•s head is entirely uncalled for under any circumstances. The Lakehead Athletic Department is sending a telegram to the league officials asking for the suspension of this Wisconsin player. This most recent incident is his third offense against the Nor'Westers in as many years. And if he is not kicked out of the league entirely, it will be because of nothing less than di vine intervention or slack officials. To our goalie we say, "Too bad he wasn't kicked out two years ago, after the first offense." And to the league we ask, .. Why wasn't he?" �January 11, 1968 Page 5, THE ARGUS University reform and the Macpherson report For years perceptive undergraduate students at Canadian universities ha v e sensed how depressingly inadequate were their institutions. Sincere but disjointed criticisms were made, but lost in the roar of the machinery; brilliant students dropped out, utterly mediocre sycophants e a r n e d Ph.D's. But n ot h in g much changed. Now it has. This has been the school year when all the accumulated grievances of many years have been laid bare, and every university has felt the pressure of discontent. It has also been the year which produced THE definitive reference related to university reform, The Macpherson Report. WORK OF SCHOLARS The origin of this exciting document is also significant. It did not come from a new university crusading on behalf of its revolutionary innovations (e.g. Lakehead might be lean but it certainly is not hungry) but from fat old U. of T., a university whose accumulated laurels would have been sufficient to offset criticism for years to come. Furthermore, it is not the tour de force of some radical dropouts, but the considered discussion of six Ph.D's, two M.A.'s, and a token B.A. Also, it was carried financially by the largest university administration in Canada, a group which has a very decided investment in the status quo. Despite all these things which would normally comprise its relevence to an undergraduate st dent, it stands as today's most comprehensive and articulate statement calling for immediate university reform. SOME RECOMMENDATIONS Its recommendations include: - slashing of lecture hours -- emphasis on small group seminars - de-emphasis on final examinations - abolition of finals in seccond year - "freedom" in science labs - student evaluation of professors - improvement of teaching "quality" - less strict prerequisite demands - direct confrontation with government over grant structure - inclusion of students on all policy-making committees -- adequate counselling at registration - making t h e calendar comprehensible - improvement and expansion of library facilities - reduction of residence fees. CAUGHT IN THE MIDDLE Nevertheless, in spite of its candid appraisal of the shortcomings in undergraduate instruction at U. of T., its careful avoidance of revolutionary recommendations has bound it to failure. It has power, and it is caught in a war on two fronts. On the one hand its terms of reference were too narrow for it to capture a sense of .!'uture, a sense of what the university must do if it is to be relevent. On the other, it is too concerned with exigencies, and with what the myopic pragmatists at the top of the heap are likely even to consider. I am hesitant to continue with this critique, however ambiguous, for the Macpherson Report is both a potent and an invaluable document. It should be read by every student who wishes to understand the immense logistical challenges facing the university administrator. But I cannot resist continuing, if for no other reason but to- illustrate that it might not, indeed, be perfect. REPORT A COMPROMISE The thing which probably stands out most to the hardened student iconoclast is that despite their surprising radicalism, the authors have been too timid to take out all the stops and "say it like it is." However inspired, the report is a compromise. It imaginitively reshuffles the furniture, but ignores the house. Questions related to the basic hypothesis, functions, and aims of the university have been either side-stepped or ignored. For example, in its discussion of examinations it fails to deal with three vital problems which should have at least been recognized. The notion t h a t examinations might be abolished completely is dismissed by asserting the assumption that they are necessary "so long as society expects the university to certify some measure of intellectual competence." The implications by Don Colborne and Julie Wierzbicki arising from thai assertion are never mentioned. Also, the challenge of how to "quantify quality" is ignored, as is any discussion of who is qualified to judge whom. It is assumed that every student can be pinned somewhere arbitrarily on a scale of 1 to 100 and that the niche he is given by another person he does not know (i.e. his professor) is meaningful as the measure of his intellectual accomplishments, relative to many other people he does not know. In this sense, that the report has exceptional breadth but very little depth, lies one aim of the pincer which is bound to destroy it. The widespread notion that education as we know it today is hopelessly anachronistic, and will be proved so within a very few yeairs, is nowhere to be found in this deposition. UNIV'ERSITY EDUCATION IRRELEVENT It is becoming more and more evident that students who plan to spend most of their lives employed at some profession (that in itself is a very debatable proposition) will soon discover that the few "skills" they have learned at university, usually through some accidental process of osmosis, are completely irrelevent to what they will be expected to do. IBM, which spends a good deal of time thinking about the future, already actively "retrains" university graduates in the skills it knows they will need. It considers university education at best a measure of how much stress a person can endure, as well as a guarantee that people who have endured it are well conditioned to acceptance of a strictly regimented life style. For those few students who do not plan to "work" in the traditional sense (and this seems like an unavoidable possibility for many) they are going to have trouble switching life styles when there are no regular lectures, essays, exams, etc., to fill their personal agendas. Thus, in terms of what it should have thought about, the very commendable, but The lecture system questioned "WE RECOMMEND THAT IBE NUMBER OF LECTURES IN EACH NUMBERED COURSE OF INSTRUCTION BE REDUCED TO A MAXIMUM EQUIVALENT OF ONE LECTURE A WEEK OVER THE WHOLE YEAR AND ONE TUJ'ORIAL GROUP A WEEK." This is one of ~ recommendations made by the MacPherson Commission on Undergraduate Instruction in Arts and Science, at the University of_Toronto, late in 1967. The committee was made up of six U of T faculty members, one post-graduate student, and one faculty member of York University. The first concern of the Committee was the problems of teaching and learning. In many submissions to the Committee, disenchantment with lectures was accompanied by enchantment with non-lecture methods--tutorials, seminars, and the like. Upper class honour students said that against their wishes, they came to believe, soon after getting into the swing of things at the University, that they had to treat the lectures as the chief source of learning, and that they found, quite early on, that this was the only way to beat, or live with, the system so as to get the high standing which they were astute enough to realize would be the key to their future, either in employment or by way of graduate fellowships. Also, from other students, their expectations on arrival at university from high school rapidly deteriorated. They had been told at school that the university would be a new intellectual experience, that they would be e,cpected to think independently; they found within a few months that they were required less to think than to amass information, via lectures plus narrowly prescribed textbooks. So MacPherson's belief that lectures should not be regarded as the sole, or main, or sufficient, substance of learning--a student who is not learning much of value, is strengthened by the above comments. What functions are lectures expected to perform? They should provide an overview of a subject, not readily attainabl~ in any one or a few printed works; convey the professor's enthusiasm for his subject; indicate ways of tackling problems of interpretation; show a scholar's mind at work, grappling with ideas and problems; and transmit information, which the student must know in order to understand the subject. Mac Pherson notes that the first four functions cannot be done by print, only by word of mouth (i.e. by lectures). The ·question is whether the lecture is the most efficient way of doing these. However, the students' comments indicate that the present system of lecture courses encourages (cont-'d - page 8) tragically myopic Macpherson Repoirt is "too little and too late." It will be a valuable resource to educational historians as they document the decline and fall of formal education in North America in the later middle of the Twentieth century. INGLORIOUS FATE The other arm of the pincer which will squash the report is of the same type which buries Royal Commission reports in Ottawa. (It is iirresistable to compare the fate of Ottawa's Carter Report in a dying economy to U. of T.'s Macpherson Repor in a dying institution.) It will go through the same cycle: flurry of debate, wide acclamation, p a u s e, disguised doubt, quiet retirement to t h e backroom shelves. UNIVERSITY CHANGE SLOW As the President of the University of Minnesota said last year: "Universities are not noted foir rapid change." In fact the report itself has probably defined the source of its own doom when it states that "(in) any longestablished university . . . the law of inertia ,w ill be found to be operating." Given an expanded frame of reference, I am sure that the report would have reached much the same conclusion for . all universities, in fact for all institutions whose structures are so complex that they must be deified to have any meaning The fact is that it would put too much stress upon the "house of cards" organization of a university to implement fully all of the report's recom.mendations. There are too many "old dogs" at the top who will pay lip service to these new tricks, but who won't be too eager to learn them. It is relatively easy to offer alternatives within a system, but where the system itself is a monolith, it simply hasn't the means to change. In a society which is beginning to change too quickly for its institutions to keep pace, they must be replaced wherever a need is left unfulfilled. For this reason, the Mac:pherson Report was obsolete before it was published. It seeks to upgrade an institution which is being replaced, an institution which is stTucturally incompatable with the late 'l'wentieth Century. Worse than that, it is a compromise. It has failed to grasp the inevitable, yet demands too much within its narrow present, and suffers from both. It is caught in a squeeze play between the old and the new. There is no doubt, however, that it will have a certain "liberalizing" effect, either because its arguments are so irresistable or because the problems it attempts to deal with are so manifest. If this is the case, and universities become a little easier to live with, the report will play a genuinely damaging role by assisting in the perpetuation of a system which would more quickly (and thankfully) die without this timely transfusion. �Morning Drag?

The addition of the two Senior goalies was a great help as Bob Kilgour, in particular, played spectacular hockey in his period and a half stint in the net.

While everybody was supposed to be studying, our great Nor• Wester Basketball Team won two games on December 15 and 16. These games were unusally significant for it was the first time that L.U. has defeated American competition, in the form of Mesabi and Itasca Colleges. Once again Don Holmstrom led the way for the Nor• Westers with 55 points to his credit over the weekend. The whole team played well in the second game as four L.U. players fouled out. Don Holmstrom broke the University one-game scoring record netting 36 points in the first game. He was playing that game with four stitches in his foot. Next home basketball games for the Nor• Westers are on Feb. 3 and 4 against Wisconsin State University. The hockey team plays Jan. 16 and 17 against the University of Winnipeg. *** At the recently held second annual Lakehead University Invitational High School Basketball tournament it was a profitable day for the L.U. students and former students. Bob Elvin, alltime high scorer in Nor'Westers history, is teaching at Hammarskjold and is also coaching the Senior basketball team. The Viking team captured the championship of the tourney. Congratulations to Bob and to the rest of the Gold and Red team. Two other L.U. students and members of the Nor'Westers basketball team, Lloyd Koski and Rob Woods, coached their old alumni PACI team to the tournament consolation championship. *** Before the tournaments, basketball and hockey, I think the athletic department should hold referee clinics to help the officials. Officials did a good job in both tournaments, but there were a few complaints on the hockey tournament. Congratulations are in order to Coach Birger, Coach Akervall, the hard working Bill Shannon and the SAS for putting on the two tournaments. Bill Shannon would be a good choice for the leader of the hockey referee clinic. Bill has conducted hockey clinics and is presently working on a Master's thesis on hockey. Coach Birger would be the logical choice as the conductor of the referees basketball clinic. He had planned one for this year but could not obtain the refereeing films. After a very successful first term as far as sports wins and honors go, I wish all athletic teams more success in the second 'term of 1968. Al Johnson of the hockey team was injured at .practice last weekend and had to have a cartilage operation. I hope Al recovers soon. While recovering, All can take up knitting. Seems his brother's girlfriend Lois McLean ret.:eived a knitted sweater for ·Christmas which Al is reported to have knitted. *** My choice of sportsman of the week goes to Bob Elvin who did a good job coaching the Hammarskjold Vikings to a victory in the basketball tournament. This year• s high school hockey tournament was won by the Black and Orange team from Tiger Hall Westgate. Coaches Bob Mason and John McCormick did a good job with their young but talented team as they overcame older and bigger teams on their way to the tournament crown.

The Hammarskjold Vikings, with a solid team performance, defeated the Selkirk Hams 49-31 to capture the second annual Lakehead University High School invitational Basketball Tournament. The Vikings won four games en route to the victory while the Cinderella team, the scrappy Selkirk Rams defeated such pretournament favorites as Hill..:rest and PACI before bowing to the more polished Vikings in the final game. In the consolation round the PACI Redman defeated their arch rivals the FWCI Blue Bears 52-50 in what proved to be the top game of the tournament. Out-of-town teams did not fare too well against local competition and it is hoped that better teams will be sent in the future. It also must be remembered that some of these teams are in only their second or thkd years of operation and will certainly get better with experience. The tournament was a great success, thanks to Dick Battiston along with other officials and their helpers for making the tournament the success that it was. At the end of the tournament a first and secund all star team was chosen, Marku Peukkurinen from Hammarskjold and Dave Grey from Hillcrest were the guards while the forwards were Doug Morrow from Fort Frances, Bill Sutherland of Westgate and Al Haapaniemi from PACI. The second team was made up of guards Laurie Keller of Hillcrest, Peterson of Nip Rock while the forwards were Frank Dorot.1. of FWCI, J ohn Szy- Hockey of goalie Schledewitz kept the Red Lake team in the game until the end.

Westgate Tigers went through the tourney undefeated after 3 games. The fast skating black and orange easily knocked off Lakeview 8-2 in the first game of the two day tournament. In t h e second game against Selkirk they held a 3-1 lead in the final minutes. Selkirk then pulled their goaltender in favour of an extra attacker. This added power got them one goal, and they were storming around the net when t h e buzzer sounded.

It is self-evident that 50 or 75 lectures a year per subject are not needed to perform any of the desirable functions of lectures. But since these hours must be filled up, "they tend to be filled up with transmission of information. They are used to 'cover' a subject. A vicious circle is thus set going." An effect more damaging than this is that "the number of hours of instruction the student is expected to attend each week does not leave him enough time to do the reading and thinking he ought to be doing: of official Winter Carnival Toques $2.25 each at Perciante & Laprade Sporting Goods Ltd. 9 South Cumberland Street PORT ARTHUR. ONT ARIO A lecture worth having is one that sparks the student's own thinking on the ideas and problems opened up by it, and that gets him reading, more or less widely and more or less independently, around those ideas aid problems. These comments seem to apply just to large lectures, but MacPherson goes on to say that the small lecture (20 to 30 students) is subjected to much the same pressure that turn large lectures to undesirable uses, the hours a student is expected to spend in class are just as great; the compulsion to attend his classes somewhat greater, and subjection to a closer and more continuous scrutiny, very great.

Needham, wellknown columnist with the Toronto Globe and Mail, will be on campus today to speak to students of Lakehead Univ~rsity and to the general pubhe. . He is sch~dul~d to speak m the Umvers1ty Centre Theatre at 12 noon. Aside from his duties with the Globe and Mail, Mr. Needham is published in some Canadian literary quarterlies, and has written a book, Needham's Inferno. His column in the Globe and Mail is one of the most widely read columns in any paper in Canada. Topics dealt with by Mr. Needham are many and varied. One of his favourites, however, is young people. On this subject he comes on strongly for the younger generation, taking up in print their plight. Mr. Needham also travels about the country speaking to audiences of students and old folks alike. His visit today will be the first time he has been at Lakehead University. A public statement made in a letter to the Argus by Dean of Arts, Dr. Gordon O. Rothney, was rejected as strictly "an administrator's letter" by Mr. James Harding, ex-lecturer in psychology at Lakehead. The letter by Rothney was an attempt on his part to insure that the "Harding issue" would be cleared up once and for all. In a telephone interview over the week-end from his home in Point Coquitlam, B.C. , Mr. Harding listened to the content of the letter and commented upon it. He pointed out that when the rest of the faculty were receiving their letters with job offers and salary increases, he received a letter with a single line statement saying that "the Administration of Lakehead University was unable to offer you re-appointment. that he· would not be offered a position with Lakehead University. Dr. Rothney's letter was spatked by an article that appearedon page two of the Jan. 18 issue of the ARGUS. It stated that "Mr. Harding, a lecturer in psychology before being clumsily dismissed, breathed a lot of twentieth century thought into Lakehead University and set off much of the critical dialogue concerning universities which has been heard both here and across Canada over the last year." Mr. Harding is being flown in from Simon Fraser University to be a resource person at the Symposium on Education being held Feb. 8 - 11. The article sighted above centred around his planned visit. Harding went on to say that he was asked to "drop around" to become better acquainted with the top administrators and thus facilitate a job off!!r from the university. Jim Harding came to Lakehead University as a lecturer in Psychology in 1966. He had formerly been at the University of Saskatchewan, both as a student and as a teaching assistant. His approach to education was immediately tagged as radical by Lakehead's administration. In referring to the letter appearing ;n the January 25 edition of the Argus, Hardi116 said he felt that this "character investigation" was made as an effort to see if he could "fit-in" as a member of the faculty. Harding was also the charter President of SUPA, Students Union for Peace Association. He was active in this capacity for the duration of his stay at the Lakehead. Again referring to Rothney's letter, Harding said "it contained no reality of the hesitancy exhibited by the administration, and no reality of the pressure that was brought to bear upon me." During the past summer ne attempted to build interest in student-centred teaching, a concept he actively experimented with in his third year Social Psychology classes. "President Tamblyn invited me to dinner at his home in an effort to get to know me better before offering me a job on the faculty" Harding said. To his knowledge, Harding was the only faculty member who received such investigation before a job offer. On his arrival on the West Coast where he presently resides, he was instrumental in setting up an educational environment, the fo~dations of a free university. The farm of Whonock, 30 miles south of Vancouver, is still in operation, though not functioning as yet as it was originally intended to. After a period of several weeks, Mr. Harding finally received a letter which made it clear Mr. Harding is studying for his- PhD. at Simon Fraser University. LUST progress report - student television soon to operate Lakehead University Student Television (LUST) is moving rapidly toward its first productions. The senior lounge was wired over Christmas for the closed circuit monitors which will carry LUST programming. The only electronic hangup which remains is a two week wait for the amplifier, necessary to send TV signals from the studio in the main building to the lounge where each show will be presented several times. Prospects for this year indicate that shows will be produced on a relatively small scale, perhaps two or three per week. But it • -~ will probably be not more than a year before daily programmes are feasible. Organization to date has been in the hands of a relatively small group of students who want to sort out most of the "labour pains" inevitable at the start of such a venture, without having a great number of people involved in each hassle. This stage is now past and LUST offers an open invitation to any student interested in exploring the fascinating television medium, but with the reminder that it's almost all work. The television unit is \lUtonomous from both the AMS, and the administration. It is governed by its own code of ethics, and by a letter of intent signed with the administration. A move by the AMS to institute censorship of programming has been defeated after an interesting battle, and our student leaders remain comfortably "non-involved' ' . The generous cooperation of the administration has carried over in to the area of programme content, which, it agrees, should not be formally interfered with. LUST and The ARGUS are cooperating in the use of news releases from Can- adian University Press, ano the relationship between student newspapers and student television will be studied jointly. The first programmes are now in the works. They include a talk with a sortof-a-higiy folk singer, a depth interview with Dr. K. J. Charles about his recent book, a diatribe by Fred (Red Power) Kelly, and more. LUST has no office; it does not intend to cloister itself like so many student organizations. Any student with time or ideas is urged to talk with anyone wearing a LUST button. ...... �Page 2 February 2, 1968 THEA.OUS Economics professor receives grant to do study of Keewatin Dr. K. J. Charles, Professor and Chainnan of thP. Department of Economics at lakehead University has been awarded a $5,000 grant by the Regional Development Branch of the Ontario Dept. of Economics and Development to carry on a socio-economic survey of the Kenora-Keewatin area. The study is already underway with the report due in April. This is the first in what _ Dr. Charles hopes will be a'. series of economic studies of Northwestern Ontario communities. He feels that the data collected from such academic studies will help in formulating an -intelligent and imaginative policy for bringing about greater economic activity throughout this region. 'Dr. Charles is well qualified for studies in development economics. A recognized expert in the field, he taught honors and graduate courses in development economics at the University of Manitoba from 1959 until lakehead University brought him to Ontario as the Chainnan of the Economics Department. He did his Ph.D graduate work at McGill University after earlier studies and teaching at the University of Madras in India. Kenora was the logical starting point for the study. The Ogilvie mill closure, the high Indian population and Kenora's proximity to the border of another province makes the area an interesting challenge in regional econo- mies problems. Dr. Charles is particularly interested in the problem of the "one industry town." "I am very interested in the economic impact of the closure of the Ogilvie Flour Mill on the Keewatin-Kenora region," he said today. "The dependence of some regions of our economy on certain single industries has become a matter of national concern as a result of the closure or planned closure of certain large finns in different parts of Canada.

"A few years ago," he said, "it was widely believed that the movement of labor to areas of industrial dynamism was the hallmark of economic effeciency. For a number of reasons in recent years this view has been subjected to considerable modification and and critical review. Some of the reasons for this change are the increasing congestion in cities, the pressure on water resources, and the problem of industrial smog." "Also there is an increasing awareness that regional dev- elopment is necessary fo1 stable national development. This has been prompted by the demonstration of orderly regional progress and growth in several countries such as Italy, the U.K., Sweden and Russia." Dr. Charles is the author of the recent controversial book, "The Myth of Inflation." Unexpected results from wine party The wine and cheese party, vario.u sly described by students as "great", "a ball", and "a horror show" almost caused cancellation of Monte Carlo Nite and the dance Thursday. AMS President, Bill Weiler at one point considered the cancellation when Tom Macleod, Chief Proctor, told him, "It's up to you as President, but I'd cancel tonight or have a regular cop at the door." Macleod feared that the fights which marred the party would be continued at the dance. It was later decided that the dance would run as planned without outside help. Both Weiler and Dean Kerr felt that the affair had been going well until the fight between Bud Crocker and Bob Wynn broke out. Observers • stated that Crocker attacked Wynn, who was on duty as a proctor, when Wynn would not allow him to re-enter the Great Hall. In the ensuing scuffle Crocker received a cut over his nose. It took six or seven students to hold Wynn back. At this point the proctors locked the main doors of the Great Hall, leaving Wynn outside and Crocker inside. Wynn later returned to renew the fight and pulled at the doors in an effort to get in. Wynn had little difficulty breaking the lock on the doors with one pull. In so doing he also shatt~red the glass in one door, spraying bystanders with a fine sprinkling of glass. Head of Security, Ted Broughton and Director of Finance David Morgan arrived later to assess the damages. Dean Kerr suggested that "As administrators, this should be none of our affair and we should leave it MARINA INN (Alias Mariaggi) C01T11ptable and willing youngboys andgir1s who are willing to take the step to the adult way of living.

As the students were already clearing out of the Hall and mopping up, he was able to convince them that the students could in fact handle it. Commenting later on the event, Dean Kerr said "You could have a gathering of archbishops in there and if you let them have all the wine they wanted they'd be shouting blasphemies from the ceiling." He also expressed doubt at the wisdom of holding the event for an intended four hours, but stressed that but for the fights it would have been an enjoyable party. The washrooms and halls of the university were testimony enough to the effects of the wine. it took the cleaning staff until the next day to catch up, replacing the odour with the smell of disinfectant. Several hours after the party, Monte Carlo Nite and the final dance brought the major Carnival events on the campus proper to a close.

DIAL 844-1743 �February 2, 1968 Page 4 the roar of the washroom the smell of the crowd Winter Carnival has come and gone leaving a bad taste in some mouths and a distinct odour in every washroom, most halls, and a few stairways. The combination of the torchI ight parade and the wine party has left many doubts about Carnival itself and about university students in particular. Many are worried about what the big bad outside world is going to think of us. Past experience has shown that there are grounds for these worries. What concerns us most is the wine party. There will be those who wi II say that it is typical of juveniles and that university students are irresponsible. Some of these wi II not, I isten to any argumefllts to the contrary. But hopefully there is just enough common sense Ieft in the twin cities to believe us when we say that this is not the case. Any group of 300 people, when allowed as much wine as they can drink, will get sloshed out of their skulls no matter what their age. That was our first mistake -- too much wine for too many people. Inexperience was another factor. It was inexperienced drinking rather than irresponsibility that led to the sticky fiasco in the Great Hal I. Inexperience does not necessarily decrease with age but only with experience. As for the fight -- well of course the wine had something to do with it. Wine is an odd substance that may produce different effects each time. But there was one definite cause for the main bout. By closing the doors and forbidding people to come and go, officials left themselves wide open. This action is bound to achieve a simi tar result where no alcohol exists. It was also a particularly dangerous spot in which to put the proctor force. That was our second mistake -- creating the atmosphere for a fight. The third mistake was appointing a proctor who had been drinking in direct violaHon of the Judicial Committee's constitution. We must of course admit to mistakes and we do readily. Before anyone tries to suggest that it was the fault of youth and a direct reflection of their irresponsibility, think of the drunken br~wls held by political parties or Shriners under the guise of adulthood. Immaturity in drinking habits Sir: Wine and Cheese Party? What a disasterous mistake! Nothing but a cheap drunk! I've never seen anything so degrading on this University campus. Never have so many got so goofed in so short a time. What a spectacle to see young people drinking wine • until they were senseless! The wine flowed too freely and the inexperienced drank too quickly. It was only a matter of time and the washrooms were ankle-deep in winepuke. Heaven only knows how many were saved from drowning in their own barf! But the ultimate came when the staggering student broughtup on the outside steps of the University Centre in front of a dozen or so important-looking visitors! What an advertisement for an institute of higher learning! And back in the Great Hall, a few fist fights broke out and the wine party had to be shut down prematurely. There will never be another Wine and Cheese party on campus. (Just like there will never be another Torch Light Parade through the City of Port Arthur). When are Lakehead University Students going to grow up and start acting like the adults they're supposed to be? It may be playful and sporty to get looped. But is this the kind of school spirit we need? Keep it off the campus. Hold it privately if you must. Do your excess drinking where it does no harm and wake up in the morning with no regrets. Why jeopardize the reputation of the University? The student's Carnival Committee had good intentions with a Wine and Cheese party. However, the committee failed to consider the immaturity of the student body. For this they get a black mark in my book. signed Pipe-up THeARGUS VOLUME 11, No. XVI February 2, 1968 The ARGUS is published weekly by the Alma Mater Soci!ty _of Lakehead University.

Sir: Mr. Ken Robinson's inept attempt to malign technology in his latest Argus article (Protest, Jan. 8/68) does not go unnoticed or unanswered. Cloaking such diatribe in sloppy terminology (eg., dehumanizes) does little to veil the matter either. The human mechanism is differentiated functionally from all others in that it is the only one of the entire series capable of producing energy-consuming devices outside its organic entity. The history of the human race may well be stated in terms of the ability of man to consume ever-increasing amounts of extraneous (nonhuman) energy. The success story of North America is written in terms of the use of energy other "than human sweat and toil. The factor of energy, translated into power to do work, overrides all other factors in the spectacular technological growth of this Continent. At last, it is possible to dispense with the worst tyranny of all history, which is, of course, the tyranny of human toil. It is now possible to get rid of 'the root of all evil', money, and to replace scarcity with abundance. It is possible to get rid of the inter• ference and incompetence of politics, and its everlasting foolish and dangerous effects upon social affairs. But, m:>re to the point, the growth of power is compelling the elimination of the Price System and all its trappings, and its replacement with • functional scientific social control. If Mr. Robinson is really concerned with social change, he would do well to realize that social change is being precipitated by the replacement of man-hours by extraneous energy in the operation and maintenance of our industrial social mechanism. An energy control technique, a design to control and direct the power of technology for social ends, offers freedom and security beyond Mr. Robinson's dream. Get with it Ken. Salute! William Sheridan �February 2, 1968 PcUie 5 Ko-Ree-A by Boyd and Chad Little Baines Sawbuck, a blond haired, blue eyed child of 9 was visiting his Uncle Sam Brown & Rootdown at the ranch on a clear but chilly day in the fall. Uncle Sam had always been good to Baines, and many evenings after the dishes had been done, little Baines and Uncle Sam would sit before the fire and talk about America and Democracy. Sometimes, his uncle would tell him that anyone could grow up to become the mayor of little Baines' home- Angry now, he stalked into the house and called his Uncle Sam up, so to speak. Uncle Sam said that he would be there right away, and that he would have some ranch-hands with him. When Sam arrived, Baines showed him from the bathroom window where he had left the wagon. Taking a second look, Uncle Sam pointed to the open garage door in the next yard, and said: "There it is Baines, over there, I told you we couldn't trust those subversive bastards." At once, Uncle Sam decided that it was necessary to call a meeting of the neighbour, and while it was in progress Baines interjected something he had forgotten; that there were 83 plastic soldiers in the wagon as well. Uncle Sam said thanks to Baines and continued with the community meeting. little Baines town, and other times he would tell Baines of the great evil threat across the blue waters of the great sea, and how little Baines must recognize that the people who lived in the lands over the sea were not his friends and that they were out to take away what his forefathers had bequeathed to him. "This is no case of mistaken identity, no case of mistaken location. We shall continue to use every means available to find a prompt and peaceful solution. We have taken, and we are taking, certain precautionary measures to make sure that our ranch-hands are prepared for any contingency that might arise in this area. After his uncle had gone to visit his aunt upstairs, Baines would sit before the dying embers of the fire and think about what he had been taught. Often he wondered to himself: "How will I ever be able to remember all the things that Uncle Sam told me about this wonderful land, and how will I be able to protect it?" After returning from his Thanksgiving {)ay holiday at the ranch, he learned the truth of Uncle Sam's words. A funny looking little boy appeared in the back yard of the house next door; he was smaller than Baines and his skin was yellow. Cautiously at first, Baines moved over to the white picket fence that separated the two yards and asked: "What's your name and where do you come from?'', to which the other boy replied; "My name is Ko-Ree-A, and I come from a land across the sea." Astonished, Baines fled to the house. He remembered what his Uncle Sam had told him and he realized that he had come face to face with a subversive. Deciding right away that he must be careful of this new boy, little Baines mounted his wagon and patrolled the property line. Interrupted by a call from the kitchen, Baines left his wagon on a part of the yard where there was no fence. After lunch he returned outside and to his amazement, found that his wagon was no longer there. He remembered that KoRee-A had been watching him earlier and admiring all the little gadgets that Baines had on the wagon. He called out to Ko-Ree-A to return his proPt:rty, but received no answer. Uncle Sam The best result would be for the whole community to persuade them to return our wagon and our plastic soldiers. I hope that they will recognize the gravity of the situation. I am confident that our people will exhibit in this crisis - as they have in other crisis - detennination and unity." At the close of the meeting, all the neig'1bours stood around and discussed whether or not Uncle Sam and Baines were right in what they were doing, but then they realized that Uncle Sam was always right, so they went home. Meanwhile, Baines continued to cry ovc:r his lost wagon and mostly, over what the other boys in the neighbourhood would say if be didn't get it back. But that's another story. • CANADA • by Goaloa Le-.d-, Bill C•l95 will make it possible, witla a bit .no~ 41uiet paper work in -Ottawa, to pre~ent Canadians &om JIOelses$iQg weapons.

There are many such international bodies trying to achieve the same ends, that of rendering technical assistance to underdeveloped countries, and educating Canadians to make them aware of the problem~ that do exist. But CUSO has the greatest chance for success, for, according to Mr. Carter, what the people in the underdeveloped countries need is not money in the form of aid, but trained technicians to help them advance their living standards and to provide alternatives· to the American and British programs. Canadian University Service Overseas offers these countries a chance to get out from under the influence of the United States and the British. preferred by Bob Leggett The days of the general BA are over, according to Mr. Carter. CUSO needs people with technical training. "We don't send underdevelpeople to underdeveloped countries.'' The langua&e barrier is not as great as 1t would seem. "Day to day work is done in English in many parts of Africa," said Mr. Carter. "A working knowledge of French also helps." "The people are usually amazed to see a young Canadian who has taken the time and effort to learn even a few words of their language", he said. ' "Most white men they know won't lower themselves to learn the common language." Here again CUSO -has its advantages.

CUSO is not a Canadian Peace Corps. The frame of reference for the two organizations is entirely different. The U.S. program places workers in areas as foreign aid gifts, while CUSO finds personnel for a country's government to hire as a civil servant. Political orientation is another of CUSO' s strong points. The organization is not aligned with any political group or philosophy.

The side men strolled down the ramp and Lightfoot sauntered out. He stopped on the tarmac and gazed at a flying jet like he was getting another inspiration. He knew he had all the college kids watching him, digging him like crazy, because that's what Lightfoot's all about. He gets his inspirations from wall paper and rain and bullrushes and go-go girls and airplanes in the morning. He greeted the small crowd with ahalf-limp handshake and 1957 Elvis Presley sneer. "Gord, I'm from the ARGUS at Lakehead University; I'd like an interview -- say about fifteen minutes.'' "Yeah, sure. Tomorrow.'' "I've got a deadline today so I need it today." "Okay, come on over to the high school.'' He turned and swaggered out of the terminal. The small crowd scrambled to follow. "If you don't have two spot lights it'll be a half-assed show, if"that's what you want. Didn't you read the contract?" People jumped and people ran to right the wrong and shortly everything was . . . "pretty good". At the hotel Lightfoot took off his three-quarter length suede coat, ruffled up a pillow and sprawled on the bed. He tugged his orange-brown bellbottom pants down over the suede cowboy boots and threw a pair of wire-rimmed glasses from his wrinkled white shirt to the table. "Okay, let's get it going," he yawned. "How do you feel about yourpopularity? Like, releases in the States?" "I consider myself a Canadian artist. I like the States better than Canada. People there are more human. They can hate and love and be lonely. They're morehungup." "Are Canadians more friendly?" "Everyone can be friendly if they try.'' Conversation drifted to the war in Vietnam and the Great Society for a while. "What are you asking all these stupid bloody questions for?" "Sorry. When's your next 45 coming out on the hit parade?" No answer. "What do you try to do in your writing besides make money?" ''The money looks after .ts elf. There's no message in Nhat I write. I just write what I feel." Lightfoot met the Lake1ead' s finest folk-song writer, ;reg Tuck, asked him to play md Tuck obliged. He listened and applauded. "Compelling, but the kind of thing you get hung up on.''

Sports Day at Winter Carnival could be tenned a bit less than a success this year. There seem to have been three causes; the wine and cheese party, the snow and a lack of organization and co-ordination among the S.A.S. itself. Forgetting the first two, I would like to say that most members did not do enough (i.e. nil) work toward their event. Next year I think the S.A.S. should schedule its events and then the executive should be on hand to co-ordinate the events and arbitrate any disputes. Sports Day results will appear next week in this space. When the basketball team was in Brandon a fc;w weeks ago, they had a surprise visit from last year's manager Mike "Windy" Wainwright. Mike, who graduated from L.U. last year, is now working at Eaton's in Winnipeg . ••• The L.U. skiers, in order to get in shape for future ski meets, are participating in local meets to sharpen their skills. Mike Wren seems to be the top performer this year so far. Mike and Tom Morton fought a tough battle last year for the top skier award, with Morton eventually winning the Male Athlete of the Year. Murray Smith of the Nor'Wester Hockey Team is the top LU scorer in L.C.H.A. play this year. Murray is in second place in scoring in a race which is dominated by Lake Superior State. The • fieldhouse is nearing completion, and everyone in the athletic department is hoping that this project will improve support at athletic events. I would imagine that there are some people at this university who have never seen a hockey or basketball game. • •• Quote of the week: If you can't play a sport, write a column • Ron Perozzo. Hussey takes it on the chin (again) by Larry Hebert Boyd Hussey will probably not play hockey again this season. As most of you know, Boyd was a goalie for the Nor' Westers until a disasterous weekend in Superior, Wisconsin. There he was ruthlessly hacked down by the stick of Bruce Chicoine of the Yellow Jackets. His jaw was broken, and he received a few cuts on the inside of his mouth. Since then_ his jaw has been wired shut and be has been on a liquid diet. A recent I.C.H.A. ruling has shown just how much the league tries to screw LU. Bruce Chicoine, mild-mannered forward of the Yellow Jackets and sometimes expert backstabber (as Lakehead fans can attest to) was suspended for three games plus the remaining portion of the SuperiorLakehead game from which he was ejected. At this point he has two games this weekend here against LU. This is a smart move by th e league to prevent any retaliation by LU players. Chicoine should have been banished for the rest of the season because he deliberately tried to injure Hussey. Now the big hurt comes. Boyd Hussey has also been suspended presumably because it takes "two to tango". Boyd's suspension is for the same two games. It matters little because he couldn't play anyway. The idea of the suspension is whatirksNor'Westerofficials. Boyd was suspended for provoking Chicoine (he admits to saying a few uncomplimentary words to Bruce) and for not wearing a mask. Why did the referees allow him to play without a mask? The league should suspend the referees too and get everyone into the act. As for Boyd's provoking Chicoine, Lakehead fans know that Bruce was not the most level-headed player in Junior Hockey and he seems to have deteriorated in intercollegiate play. Lets see a big crowd out at the Arena this weekend. Lets win two for Hussey. -➔ n 0 = CD CD n c CT --~ Look to Appolon #2 Appolon #1 ':I' CD Looking for a Deal?

Symposium: imposing and exposing It is high time ~is university had an intellectual impact on the Lakehead community. At present, L.U. is renowned for its student drunks, naughty newspaper, and 10% off each paycheck for the Building Fund. For years, advertise· ments have read: Send your son to Lakehead U. •· this keeps the money in Northwestern Ontario, . and keeps our economy booming. Publicity appears to be geared at concern for the economic welfare of this area, rather than to stress the intellectual atmosphere and academic standards (or non• standards, depending upon the department), which ideally should be a determining factor in choosing Lakehead. Such an unnatural stress on economics may be a major reason for this lack of impact on the ultraconservative trend of the community's awareness. The few speakers who have been brought into the area by the University, have carried with them a breeze from the outside world. But this breeze, typically, was hopelessly lost in the strong gales off Lake · Superior. So, in "Bobby Curtola land", is it not the students and the faculty here who are best situated to clear the Lake Superior Cloud? With this in mind, the AMS is sponsoring a Symposium next weekend, Feb. 8th, 9th, 10th, and 11th. Several outspoken individuals have been obtained as resource persons and discussion leaders. They will be keynote speakers on Friday evenin·g, and Saturday morning, and discussion may centre around the views which they will present. Certainly Jim Harding is no stranger to this campus. His controversial ideas set many students, faculty and administrative members thinking. Either they agreed with most Qf his thoughts, or completely rejected them. But the Lakehead community at large has not been exposed to his view• points. Larry Anderson and Dr. A. Asimi are presently on staff at L.U. While Mr. Anderson sup• ports a "participatory democracy" as a system of government for a university, Dr. Asimi does not agree that students should have a major voice, or responsibility, in deciding academic policy. Peter Larson, Finance If you disagree with these opinions, well, dammit, come and fight it out at the Symposium. If you agree, then voice your support. If you couldn't care less, you're an apathetic bastard, and the person this Symposium has been created for. Commissioner for the Ontario Union of Students, and presently attending the University of Western Ontario, will deliver a paper on student government and the concept of the com• munity of scholars. Bob Baldwin this fall refused a schola.ship from the University of ·western Ontario to work for the Canadian Union of Students. He was at Lake- head during the Registration crisis, a few months ago. Bob is an advocate of student syndicalism which is a strong stand of the Union Generale des Etudiants de Quebec (UGEQ). CUS does not have a policy statement on syndicalism, but .has strong resolutions dealing with the Quality of Education. Bob will be here to explain these. Ian MacKenzie, resource person from Rochdale College, will be at Lakehead University on February 8 to take part in the Educational Symposium. He will be here for a series of discussions during the day and a speaking engagement at 8:00 p.m. that evening in the University Centre Theatre. Mr. MacKenzie is one of many who are working in education by teaching and learning simultaneously in the free atmosphere of Rochdale College in Toronto. Those of us here at Lakehead who think we are getting an education •· any kind of an education let alone a good one -· should find his ideas extremely enlightening. Rochdale College is an attempt at education incorporating not only traditional material in a much freer environment but also constant questioning of the validity of any static theory describing a "philosophy of education". Rochdale is one among an ever growing number of experiments in Canada which are proving if by their existence alone that our educational system is seriously inadequate and needs radical change. Reali zing that the dialogue occurring during the Symposium will be meaningless if restricted to the members of this university, invitations have been extended to students and faculty of the Teachers College and Confederation College. A limited number of high school students and teachers have also been asked to attend. The students attending the Teachers College seem very concerned over the failure of amalgamation with L.U. This union is undoubtedly an excellent move, raising the calibre of elementary school teacher education, thereby improving the quality of education in grade school. But this union, from all appearances, will not take place, due to unsatisfactory salary negotiations. Should not professors who are concerned with the quality of university education also be concerned with the quality of primary school education? And does not this concern weaken when stress is put on financial gain? The appearance of Confederation College on the Lakebead scene, has posed the question; What is the position of University Schools within the University? A statement can be made that University Schools have no place here, and should be integrated with Confederation College. But there are many reasons for not integrating, and students on both campuses should be made aware of these. The underlying question in the above discussions is one of university education •· what is its aim? and who decides what this aim should be? Is the university an intellectual ivory tower, set apart from its community, and tossing out insecure bodies onto the industrial meat market? On the other band, is the university a social institution, being subject to social pressures, or applying pressures on society, and the community encompassing it? If the latter is the case, it will be brought out in the discussion groups, and in the final session of the Symposium. At this final session, it is hoped that some consolidation of ideas from all the discussion groups, will take place; and that this may aid individuals concerned with the apathetic isolation of the Lakehead, and of "Snakehead U." � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

It was agreed that a statement of explanation could be drawn up j_f the funds were not forwarded. A. motion was carried that all clubs and societies in the University respect a one week deadline ofter functions to hand in receipts or give a valid reason in writing why said r~ceipts cannot be handed in; and the validity of thP.se reasons be lef't to the discretion of t;he Ti.~easurer. It was amend•ed by Mr. Barry Smith (Science). to rea~ that all clubs and societies be notified of this decision. In his next remarks. the Treasurer, in suggesting an audit of the Treas~ry books for tho e~d of his term, stated that it would be economically unf0asible and that he couJd proc.uce certified statements of the validity of his accounts. He offerec. these accounts to anyone who would personally wish to audit them, even though they seemed to be on an undisc iplinecl system. He speculated that the cost of an audit would be over ~100 and again strossed the unneces s ary expense in this move. A. motion which read, 11 the question of auditing and changing of bookkeeping of the A.M.S. Treasury Dept. be put into the hands of the Finance Cammi ttee 11 , was carrie d, 'I'he Finance Committee is made up of members of the A.M.S. Council and chaired by the Treasurer. President Hess then presented a question as to how the delegates (3) to the ORCUS (Ontario Regional Canadian Union of Students) conference be chosen. It was decided that this decision be left to the Executive. The conference will be held in 'roronto, on .January 20th to 30th. Mr. Barry Smith~ President of the 1/iinter Carnival Cammi ttee, outlined how the Con1.111ittee was 193 in debt and would <1lso need another ~100 for Carnival activities. He suggested repayment from the proceeds of the Formal dance. The condition of the roads on Campus was discussed and President Hess and Mr, Smith said they were doing everything in their power to improve the condition of the roads. It was moved and carried that if the Winter Carnival Committee exceeds the budget by a sum great-• er than can be covered by profits from the Formal dance, that it will be covered by the l.M.S. A discussion on the hiring of bands for the Winter Carnival functions Treasurer Tocheri mentioned he knew several bands which would play for the full week for a special or package rate. Chief Justice Dutchuk sugeested that this could lead to trouble with the Muscian 1 s Union. Mr. w. Aitken (Bus. Adm.) outlined that each club function might not like the same ban -:l and moved that the hiring of bands be left up co the individual organizations holding dances during Winter Carnival. This was carried, with the final remark by Treasurer Tocheri that even record dances could lead to trouble with the Muscian 1 s Union. was disputed, 1 The actions of the A. M. S. regarding the supposed 11 Get Acquainted 11 dance with Northwestern University of Minneapolis was criticized from the floor. After the dance had been planned, Mr. D. Gardiner, A.M.S. Business Manager, phoned the Program Consultant of the Fort William Ski Club to inform him of the dance. He found that arrangements for enter-tainment had already been made, nnd the Program Consultant from the Ski Club urged the University to stop publicity on the dance. Mr. J". Edwards (Science) suggested that in future more direct ties be made with the Chambers of Commerce 01, both cities nnd moved that the LM.S. should write Northwestern for more definite arrangements on future trips, as well as, an apology for hav~ng sponsored a social event without consulting the guests, Dr. Merrill, representing W.U.S,C. (World University Service Conference), outlined a progrRm for a conference on Turkey in Waterloo. Dr. Merrill requested a loan to cover expenses for 2 delegates to this conference~ including Miss Rosanne Candido, chosen as one of 39 delegates from across Canada to travel to Turk9V for W.U.S.C. He also mentioned that this loan would be repaid from funds taken in from the W.U.S.Ccmovies and other function •• A motjon was carried that the A.M.S. should advan~s �5 ~--·w. U.S .C. ~100 per delegate, with no more than 2 delegates, for a .con-- .. ference on Turkey in Waterloo. Mr. W. Roman Petryshyn, (Arts) next read a letter from Mr. Morley Mitchell, Editor of the Literary Review. In the letter, Mr. Mitchell outlined his dismay at the lack of material for this project and because of this disinterest, had to return the grant from the 1\.M.S. He suggested that the funds not spent be forwarded to the accounts of the Mediwn. Treasurer Tocheri said that the reason that the newspaper had trouble was the fact that the interest had waned in the staff and referred to the :&st unpublished issue as garbage. Mr. Petryshyn sugeested that the money be reverted to the Account of next year 1 s Review. Mr. T. Kelly, (Arts Society) suggested that a monetary prize should be set up next year~ so that this would give students a greater impetus to submit material for the Review. Chief Justice Dutchak suggested a literary supplement to the newspaper. Mr. F. Penner (Science) suggested the formation of a Literary Club. It was moved that the full !1!;500 allotted to the Literary Review revert to the A.H.S. and th~t recommendations be made to next year's Council to set aside the money for the Literary Review. A second point by Mr. Petryshyn, concerning night classes, and the reason why students must take them, was tabled for further discussion. A motion was carried that the Finance Committee look into the matter of honoraria and make concrete recommendations at next meetings which will be held before the close of nominations for the next year's Executive of the A..M.S. 11 Honoraria 11 is the reimbursement for time spent by the Executive in the form of special favours, usually monetary. After descriptions of conduct at past dnnce, it was moved that a special Police Force, composed of A.M.S. members should bring offenders during Winter Carnival or later, before the Judicial Committee for trial. A.ny member of the fl. .M.S. was urged to write a formal note of complaint if they noticed any misdemeaners. The meeting wearily ended at 11:15 p.m. Jean Jordan and Jack Edwards are selling tickets to the Winter Carnival Formal. The price is ~3.00, with dancing starting at 10;00 p.m. in the New Library. See you there. Powder Puff Panthers Looking for Scalps. The girls of Nemissa are learning the finer arts of footbo.11 i.n preparation for the big game with the boy 1 s university basketball team.

The cause of this epoc-~aking development in international affairs is to be found prj_marily in Asia. The Soviet Union's gradual shift from a revolutionary to a revisionist stance is directly related to the Sino-Soviet n ideological 11 schism. The Moscow-Peigping split, however is caused not by the fleeting b ubble 0f a difference of opinion but rather on empirical phenonona that wi2.l be a~ound for quite a w~1ile. Firstly J the split is occ2..s:i.oned by- the natural competition for prestige and influ2~c\J among ciny two grsat powers, In this case it is for the leadership of the world revolutionary movement. There is also the natural diffe rence between tho outlook of a 11 have 11 nation, the wealthy European Russia, and that of the 11 have not 11 l\.sian power, China. Conse- que·ntly the Soviet Union is ruled by communist left"wing Marxists who want to preserve the stEttus quo; China by right-wing Marxists v1ho want change. Lastly there is the pressure of China 1 s fRntastic population growth pushing through the Meng0lian Tiepub lic ( that was set up as a buf-· fer state) and against the frontiers of thG near--empty Russian Steppes~ The Soviets and t\mericans find themselves bedfellows in wanting to l imit the power of Chinao For the Soviets, This 11 peaceful co--existence 11 between them and the hated Capitalists has been made more palatable by the fact that Western governments no longer send buyonet--wcilding soldiers in- to break up strikes or carry on a depression war-depression cycle of business advefr• ture. In fact? in many respects the largGr labour unions_ seem to possess the more power •. Rocently certain steel and aluminum companies tried to hike prices well above the A.dministrationis price guidelines and .got shot down for it. Yet the wnge settlement of the recent N.Y. Transport workers Union, also violating the price guidelines, elected only a slight grunt from Washington.

' ..., ,., ....,,.. r ~ �7 it is crucially important to growth of the economy and to higher living standards, says the Economic Council of Canada. The council said in its second annual review that one step needing immediate attention is rapid, substantial expansion of education after high school so that no qualified student faces -any financial barrier to higher education. 11 (CP news report, Ottawa, January 5, 1966.) Behind these conclusions lies a deluge of statistics and thought. An ample supply of them may be found in either the recently issued, second annual report of the Economic Council of Canada, or in publications based on the findings of the New Democratic Party Research Department. Referring to the 11 basic message delivered ' in this year's report of the Economic Council of Canada 11 , which is essentially the same as that presented by New Democrats in the last federal election, the Financial Post commented, 11 It is not a palatable truth, but the facts produced by the council make it unarguable." That 11 basic message 11 is that essentially Canadian productivity and consequently prosperity, is well below what it could and should be because far too few Canadians receive the amount and quality of education or training a healthy, modern economy demands. A.fter stating that education and training is 11 fundamenta1n to the need for improved productivity and recommending that university education be made available to every qualified student without nny financial barri~r, the council's suggestions stop. At this point the council chairman, Dr. John J. Deutsch, feels that it is up to 11 the politicans" to decide how the council's recommendations should be implemented. HmJ can that financial barrier 11 be removed? The pre sent federal student loan system not only does not remove financial barriers, it adds a substantial interest rate on top of the high university fee. 11 Supposing the federal government eventually decides to live up to Prime Minister Pearson's long over-due promis~ to introdue a scholarship plan instead of the loan system which it gave us, will this satisfy the council's recommendations? It appears that if it is introduced, the scholarships will only be made available to students willing to claim, in writing, a lack of financial independence. Just us, (in the words of the Financial Post), "education, not wolfare, must bo the real war on poverty 11 , so education in our society is a matter of basic human rights; as well as a matter of a highly rewarding (to the whole nation) form of economic investment. Well~ what do you think of stud:Jnts b:,ing in a position whore they must 11 beg 11 for scholarships or do without? Would scholarships go to students as a Hreward 11 for lacking pur9hasing power or should university fees be removed for everyone maintaining a high enough academic standard, regardless of economic status? Nevertheless, any form of a scholarship plan would be closer to meeting the demands of the Economic Council of Canada than the existing federal student loan arrangem0nt. But why is university education not provided on the same basis as it is offered in our schools? Is it not obvious that post secondary education is just as imperative today ns high school oaucation was decades ago when free education was extended to that level? If the provincial governments ironically feel that the y can't channel enough of the public's taxes into directly improving society by paying for university education, there is no reason why tho federal govcrnment 9 in the face of the sombre warnings of CanadG 1 s top economists about tho need for greatly expanded educational servi~es, can't provide incentives which would lead the proYincial.- governme nts to introd uce fre o post-secondary eaucation. (The New Democratic Party has been proposing such un arrangement since its founding convention in 1961). In many cases the only way to make sure that 11 no qunlified student faces any financial barrier to higher education 11 would be to introduce student salaries, (dependent on academic achievement, of course.) But it seems unlikely that public opinion will become sufficiently informed to bri ne this 3b out in Ontnrio a uring 1966. ~ccording to the counc i l 's �8 report, the economic returns for govornment investment in ectucation 11 are likely to exceed by a considerabl0 margin those from most other types ,of expenditure.!! However, now, rather than seeking these high dividends by paying students so that they can pursue higher education completely free of any financial restrictions, our governments are accepting a situation whereby most students pay 11 through tho nose 11 at a rapidly rising rate for post secondary education, Meanwhile skilled labour is imported from abrond in a fruitless effort to raise Canadian productivity. No wonder foreign control over industry in Canada continues to increase, c.u.s. by Harvey Clue. Since the present A,M.S. Council has undertaken discussion on whether Lakehead University should join C.U.S. (Canndian Union of Students), a body which draws on attempts to draw campuses from all parts of Canada closer together, and since tho new ~.M.S. Executive to be elected on February 16, will probably furthor consider tho matter, and perhaps take concrete action, it might bo of interest to the students of this Univer-, sity to know some of the advantages nccompaning membership in c.u.s. Besides the obvious communication \vi th other Universities by means of meotings, conventions, Rnd the exchange visits of representatives, there are other less, yot still important advantages. For example, the students of universities who are members of the union, receive membership cards which entitle the holders to a 10 to 20 percent discount at all stores which nre mornbers of the integrated student discounts system. Most universities - in theory, at least - have a list of these di~count stores located in all parts of Canada. Moreover, C. U.S. offers 3. stude'nt life insurance policy and travel information. The latter will be of interest to those students who desire surmner employment abroado c.u.s. providGs information on suit~ble jobs plus accomodation during the temporary visit. International c.u.s. membership·cards are available which give students access to embassies and consuls· (Canadian) in the different countires. Incidentally, the cost per student per year for membership in C.U.S. is approximately~ .68 cents. · Thus there appear to bo., and this is only a sketchy outline ,of C.U.S. services, definite advantages both for the University and the students as members in the Union. Perhaps, Lakehead University will become a participant of this body, but the final outcome lays with the /J. .M. S. Council. 1966 WUSC Seminar in Turkey. A Lake,head University student, Miss Rosanne C~i'ndido has been selected to attend the World University Service of Canada Seminar in Turkey this summer~ She will join 38 other Canadian university students and five professors in a trip that starts Juno 30 in the Laurentians and proceeds to Istanbul viR Rome Rnd the Orient Express. The group will be accompRnied by two WTIB administrators: 24-year old Paul Canter, officinlly in charge of the Seminar, and Robert PanetRaymond, who r e presented Universite de Montreal on the 1963 Pakistan :Seminar and who is now at Harvard Business School.

Man and God. By W.M.(J.:-.ck) Lammon. Is the mere fnct of tho existence or non-existence of God n point on which humanity must ponder? I think of the immeasurable time spent arguing the point when this time could be better spent in developing and im proving conditions in our mortal re al!i1. Did it m,;1. t t er to anyone of millions of Jews in Europe if God existed or not, ns their unanswered prayers rang out over the beating of their children dying by Christian compatriots? Did it m~tter to nny of thG innumer~ble mortally wounded soldiers ~s they fell fighting for numerous opposed causes, nll with ''God on our sidc. 11 I ask, is mere existence enough'? I realize that huge, conservative religions have been founded on the belief in God, and thnt these have evolved into today's churches. There is a resounding emphasis on 11 belief 11 or nccopt:rnce of the doctrine in these religions, n.s one lives n b,uo or prim~uily unhappy life so thAt he may gain a reward of eternal life. I think that man has matured enough not to expect 11 candy for bGing good, 11 c.nd any God who expects this nbe good, not nnught 11 atti tudo must be 8- figment of his or our imaginntions. Life is here to on joy, as only 1·J8 know how. We, of course, cannot forget those who :1re less or f'.lore f'ortunnte thnn ourselves. I say that we use the money allotted to war, churches, and other equally useless concepts, and train ourselves nnd th~ others around us to enjoy life. What need have we of prnyers if we have adapted most fully to our environment, are o.t peace 1'11 th one nnother, and a.bovc all 1 know how to liven full and rewarding existencu. Life 0ternal, with all its paradoxes, should be considered, if and when it cones. Each of tho Western religions, which includes Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, retains concepts that nre much too vngue to really be considered as the finc7.l ,,Truth. 11 If they arc, I re.::tlly cannot say, nor do I care. Each believes in the same God, but has murdered too many while believing these 11 Truths 11 to warrrrnt my belief in their God or their religions. In other i.-1ords, mankind must tc1.ke it upon himself to make certain of nn enjoynblc existence in th0 fnce of an ~pathetic or nonexist11nt God. P.S. This is st~tod d8spito the portion of Soci~l Darwinism (survival of the fittest hwnRns) dished out to us at the supper dnncc, Friday last. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

A.M.S. COUNCIL REPORT, FEBRUARY 7. A. letter was read to council from Mr. Morgan which stated that he disapproved of the A..M.S. report of the February 1st meeting, in the Medium, concerning Food Management . He felt that this should not have been printed in the newspaper, and that either the newspaper or the A.M.S. should send a note of apology to Mr. Childerhose. He also mentioned that the first reading, for him and Mr. Childerhose, was in the Medium. As the author of this previously mentio·ned r eport, I say it is my duty to report any proceedings of the Council to the student body. If this matter was not fully prepared, it should not have been presented to council, and the principals involved should have waited until the correct authorities were notified, There was ample time to ask that this matter be withdrawn from the Newspaper report prior to printing , if this request was warranted by the editors . After the reading of the letter, President Hess th,cn introduced Mr. Childerhose, representative of Food Management Services ~ To pre- vent misunderstandings, a motion was carried that the newspaper not be allowed to report on the matter at hand. I sugge st that the members of the A.M.S., who voted on this motion, read Section II, Article XI of the Constitution, under the title - Meetings; in which, it states that any member of the A,M.s., (which includes any full-time student) shall be en·titled, subject to the seating capacity of the room in which the meetings of the A.M.S. council are held, to attend meetings of the A.M.S. council meeting, the Medium has a duty to inform any absent members of the A.M.S, of the proceedings. As there were a few nonparticipant A.M.S, members there, all others have a right to hear the busines·s at hand . Considering the council knowledgeable of its own constitution, especialiy the President, this reporter discontinued his notes and relaxed to listen to the arguments presented. by W.M. (Jack) Lemmon. In the February 3, 1966 issue of "the Medium 11 that was very bitter and equally unjustified. The around the failure of the i . M. S. to allot funds to This club wished to send delegates to a convention there was an article article centred a political club . in Toronto. It only stands to reason that the governing student body of a University cannot be expected to give funds to a political club for that political club to furthe r its own political objec tives . If the Lakehead University Alma Mater Society had given money to the political club as requested, it would then be sponsoring directly candidates for a Senior Political Party - when not all of Lakehead University's seven-hundred and twenty students agree with the philosophy of that particular political party. It has been said that if the .A..M.S. had allowed the political club to send delegates to the conference in Toronto, the delegates wnuld return to the Lakehead much informed and better able to tell the students of the policies of the Senior Political Party. This is clearly a furthering of the political ambitions of one political party at the expense of all the students at Lakehead University . Another point of discussion was the reason why the A.M.s. Council had allowed political clubs on campus if the A.M.s . would not allot money for the political clubs to send delegates to nation-wide political conventions. As these political clubs were allowed to exist, the Council obviously recognized the necessity of having a knowl edge of the �2 political situation in the world today o However, it is not in the best interests of the whole student body to send delegates to conventions in order to better propagate ·the political philosophy of only one party~ At this time, it is neither financially nor physically possible to sponsor delegates to all party c onve ntions. Who draws the line? And where? The A.M.S. has drawn the line in the best interests of the student body as a whole, not just a few! Jack Edwards, (A.M.S. Science Representative.) CHIP ON HY SHOULDER. The aim of any newspaper is awareness. It is in an attempt to make the student body of Lakehead U. aware of elections that this issue has set up. February 16th is the date that students will cast . their ballots for the l.M.S. Executive of 1966-67. It is of vital importance to every student 1. that he cast his ballot, exercising hi~ franchise 2. that he exercise that franchise as an enlightened votero Each candidate· has a platform of proposals for the next year o It is • your duty to be aware of just what a particular candidate stands for and to know ~ho the candidates are. To help in this department the Medium has compiled the following list of candidates as of 4 p .. mo lfebruary 9th, the close of nominationso W. Tocheri - President Mike Wainwright - President Ian Thompson - Vice•-Prosident Ron Hider •·· Treasurer Donna Brownlee .. Secretary If you do not know the identity of the candidates your vote is not only a wasted effort it could seriously damage the governing mechanism of next year 1 s A.M.S. Council, You are encouraged to read the platfo.rms of tpe candidates for the Presidency; I fr, Tocheri and Mr. 1.ifainwright. You are also asked to watch for election conferences that may be held next week before the election day, The Medium is doing its best set up a press conference open to the student body where students will be able to get acquainted with candidates and freely question them on University and election issues~ Signs will be posted telling students the locat~on of the polls on election day. 1 to To th,is editor two issues particularly stand out. The first is that of Universal Accessability -· government paid academic and residence fees for University students. This affects you and I and it is an issue that, our governments are soon going to have to deal with. What will the view of our A.M.S. Council be? ~ould we settle for a more immediate solution to such rising costs by cutting fees only, or removing academic fee~ completely and leaving residence fees or vice versa? Residence fees for a single room vJill rise in the fall of 1966 to.. 1725. A. double room will cost d~6506 What will the effect of this be on present residence students? This is a question not only a:, Lake head but at every Canadian University. Your council is guided to a large extent by the stand of the executive. Where will they stand on such an issue? You and I cannot afford to cast an ignorant vote when the stakes are so higho Academic fees will rise also next fall. Secondly this University is an expanding University. What is the relationship between students, faculty, and administration? Should students have representation on the Senate or on a 11 Universi ty Council, 11 a sounding bpard for problems and expansion of facilities in both ~aculty and coursGs to be offered? At prGsent these issues involve a twostep process of student to faculty or student to administration and on up.

There are many issues and many questions. But the most important fact of all is this. The freshman vote equates 1:1.with tha.t of upperclassmen. This means that the freshmen vote decides the issue and he has to live with the results next year in campus student administration.

An open press conference will be held Friday, February 11th at 1:00 in the cafeteria. At this time a battery of reporters from the Medium will direct questions to the candidates for position of President. Students are asked to attend the conference but public questions will be restricted to·a Town Hall Heeting next Monday afternoon. MIKE WA.INWRIGHT - ARTS II PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE.

I would like to present the following points for your consideration in making your Presidential choice, Wednesday, February 16th. In presenting myself as a candidate, I feel that my experience as an executive member . in your student government over the past two years has given me a keen •insight into the problems and interests of Lakehead University students. The A..M. S. council has a wonderful opportunity to inaugurate new and. progressive programming for thoir student body. The following ideas and recommendations are of major concern:- 1 The !{.M.S •. council will be handling a minimum of ~30,000 next year. Foresight and definite planning can provide many new and beneficial programmes for every student. - the ~20 caution fee (totalling a minimum of ~20,000) must be eliminated or controlled by the students themselves. - increased revenue can be obtained by proper investment and early organization of student activities. II Athletics - additional support should and will be made to athletics.
