How about in the United States? If you are concerned about issues in water resources, engineering, environmental sciences, and natural hazards, and want to benefit from the experience of studying in another country, contact Dr. Urned Panu. Panu is a Professor of Civil Engineering at Lakehead and the Project Director of a trilateral initiative that will see up to 42 students (14 each from Canada, Mexico, and the United States) studying at six different universities over a four-year period. The six universities include Lakehead University and the University of Regina in Canada, Louisiana State University and Purdue University in the United States, and the Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico and the University de las Americas, Puebla, in Mexico. Panu believes the Student Exchange Program will offer tremendous opportunities for everyone - the participants, Lakehead's Faculty of Engineering, and the profession at large. Lakehead University "One of the objectives of this program is for students and faculty to gain an understanding of the different cultures. How do engineers in Mexico, for example, address probe lems in the areas of environmental sciences and engineering? "Students who take part in the exchange program will have the opportunity to prepare themselves as internationally trained professionals, capable of confronting global problems with integrated and interdisciplinary perspectives. They will have the language skills, knowledge of other cultures, and understanding of global markets to be really effective." To date, Panu has held one information session on the program and has been approached by two Lakehead civil engineering students who want to spend the winter term at either Louisana State University or at Purdue University in Indiana. (The expected duration of study will vary from a minimum of one semester to a maximum of one year.) He is hop.A ing to drum up more interest amon• students by hosting another information session and submitting articles to the Argus this fall. The student exchange program is being administered collectively by International Academic Mobility (1AM), Learning and Literacy Directorate, Human Resources Skill Development Canada (HRSDC); the Fund for Improvement of Post Secondary Education (FIPSE), US Department of Education; and the Direcci6n de Desarollo Universitario, Secretaria de Educaci6n Publica (SEP) in Mexico.

As you can see elsewhere in the Agora, we also welcome a number of new people -- faculty, staff, and administrators -- to the University. This summer has seen intensive competition for students, with the southern Ontario universities trying to maximize incoming numbers to compensate for budgets that were based on revenues promised by the former government. The only new money available is for growth, as the Quality Assurance funding did not materialize. This has meant budget reductions at many other universities in the 2-4% range. Fortunately, we based both our revenue and growth on conservative estimates, and it appears we can weather next year barring an unexpected expense. e good news is that Bob Rae is • nducting a review of the post-secondary sector, and I am convinced that he not only understands the needs of the system but also is aware of the special challenges to, and importance of, the northern universities. We still require that our unfunded Basic Income Units (BIU) situation be rectified. This alone would solve a good portion of our budgetary concerns and help assure that the remaining $3-million debt is paid off within the expected time frame. I firmly believe that Lakehead University will soon be recognized as the standard for performance in smaller comprehensive Canadian universities. Considering all the challenges we have dealt with successfully and the growing reputation of our research and teaching programs, Lakehead is a model of efficiency and productivity. We have not been satis• d with the status quo but have ~ade strides to be a leader in post- Agoro Online - October 2004 - Page 3 secondary education. We have made a commitment to more reasonable workloads and have completed our second Strategic Plan; and the second Campus Climate Survey shows us making progress on many fronts. While much remains to be done, we can take pride in our accomplishments as a community. I wish you all a successful and productive year! ■ Dr. Fred Gilbert 40th Anniversary by Heather Ives The year 2005 marks the 40th anniversary of Lakehead University, and the Alumni Association, along with the campus community, invites you to join the festivities. Currently, plans are underway to hold celebratory events throughout the year, with our "Celebration Weekend" taking place September 8-11, 2005. All alumni, students, and friends are encouraged to attend as we honor our past accomplishments and look forward to future success. Possible activities for the weekend include a golf day, campus tours, open houses, the grand opening of the Northern Ontario School of Medicine, BBQs, gala dinner and much, much more. If you have an idea for an event please let us know. Class and small group reunions will also take place over the weekend. Classes from 1965 (40th), 1970 (35th), 1975 (30th), 1980 (25th), 1985 (20th), 1990 (15th), 1995 (10th), 2000 (5th) are encouraged to celebrate their own unique anniversaries. As well, other small group reunions are also welcomed as part of the Celebration Weekend. The Office of Alumni Relations will offer assistance in planning reunions by providing mailings, helping to find lost classmates, booking venues and meals, and coordinating any other special details. Of course, a weekend like this would not be possible without the help of many volunteers. Opportunities exist for volunteers to assist in various roles over the next year including participating in planning committees, organizing reunions, as well as assisting at the weekend itself. Make the "Celebration Weekend" an event you won't forget.

Whether you are wrestling a novice or last year's champion, you will do the same warm-up and think the same thoughts and cue words. by Rachel Dean Do you get really nervous before your wrestling matches? Do you start thinking about all the possible things that could go wrong? If so, then you are experiencing anxiety, which is a normal response to a situation where you feel threatened. There are two kinds of anxiety: cognitive (psychological) and somatic (physiological). Too much of either kind can hinder your performance, however, you need some somatic anxiety in order to arouse your body and get you ready to compete. The key to preventing negative thoughts from hindering your performance is mental preparation. In the book, Wrestle Your Perfect Match, Coach Beasey Hendrix, a former US Olympic Greco Psychological Skills Coach, recommends designing a "perfect warmup" that you do before each and every match. This warm-up becomes a ritual for you and becomes an automatic way for you to prepare for each match. Instead of using your warm-up as a time to worry and be anxious about your upcoming match, use the time to focus on your goals, get in your zone, and get your mind and body ready to wrestle. Write down your perfect warm-up, step by step, including a detailed description of what you will be doing, what you will say to yourself, what kind of music you will be listening to, and who will accompany you. By performing the same warm-up Think of cue words that you like to use and thoughts that you would like to think before your match. Some examples of cue words include: "explode," "drive," "punish," and "power." Examples of thoughts or affirmations include: "I am unbeatable," "No one can turn me," and "I control the tempo." In order to help you implement your perfect warm-up, Coach Hendrix suggests creating a tape which has both music and dialogue on it. The dialogue could be your own voice, your coach's or the voice of someone who motivates you. Listen to the tape each time you are getting prepared to wrestle in order to to help you think positively. If outside thoughts enter your head, stop them immediately and focus back to the voice on the tape. Try to implement some of these strategies in the upcoming season as a method of controlling cognitive anxiety so that you can wrestle your best against each opponent you face. ■ "You don't have to set your sights on winning all your wrestling matches, just the next one." - Beasey Hendrix Rachel Dean is a Master's student in Kinesiology with specialization in Gerontology. She wrote this article for the Ontario Amateur Wrestling Association.

This perspective regards human dignity as the primary social and personal value. Dignity is realized through an individual freedom that is brought to bear in the course of the self's participation in meaningful decision making and exercise of individual responsibility. W The right to dignity for all is explicitly recognized in Canadian law. In practice, however, socioeconomic and historical circumstance has conspired to debar a variety of individuals and groups from the concern and respect their nature as persons demands. Prominent among these excluded groups are members of the disabled community who are marginalized by a society that regularly neglects to recognize their needs, capacities, and merits as individuals. I posit that there are Six Degrees of Dignity needed to reverse social and attitudinal exclusion, currently articulated in Canadian society's construction of the disabled self. These are: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Dignity Dignity Dignity Dignity Dignity Dignity in Law of Self in Public Perception in the Community in Public Policy in Future Public consciousness and discourse on disability is suffused with the Lakehead University dominant assumption that societal resources can only be effectively employed through investment in curative research programs. This supposition has become so compelling that it is now commonly regarded as a matter of "common sense," and alternative agendas of intervention are routinely discarded as undeserving of serious consideration. There are a number of problems with this approach. First, there is the purely practical difficulty of discovering a remedial solution to many categories of disability. While the benefits of medical research cannot be discounted, an exclusive emphasis on providing a cure essentially discounts the immediate, day-to-day reality of the people with disabilities. The tangible and concrete problems of everyday life cannot be deferred in anticipation of a practicable cure in the undetermined future. Second, the needs and objectives of economically driven medical research programs may not coincide with the needs and objectives of members of the disabled community. No matter how well intentioned research programs are, they frequently fail to recognize the practical priorities of disabled individuals. This state of affairs is exacerbated by the fact that the goals of research programs are, as a rule, controlled and directed by the non-disabled. To date, however, little attention has been given to the absence of the disabled from the kinds of medical decision-making processes that most immediately affect their own lives. But people with disabilities are not only excluded from the realm of medical decision making. The problem, in reality, is more insidious and reaches deep into the domain of Canadian society itself. Briefly stated, Canadian society is infused with an insidious "ableism" that sustains and accentuates a view of the disabled as individuals inherently incapable of applying themselves to either the practical tasks of everyday life or, more generally, of adhering to the standards and principles that define social worth and cultural significance in Canadian society. Physical disability is not considered for what it is: a difference in the state of the body. Rather it is viewed as a sign that the individual is not a fully functioning, autonomous self, not completely a character capable of exercising freedom of choice in the pursuit of personal responsibility and selfdetermination. In other words, a body meant to be the object of either pity or fear. The refusal to recognize the integrity of the disabled self finds concomitant expression in condescending attitudes of "pity" and "sympathy" and the belief that (like the very young and the very old) the disabled must be "looked after for their own good." This fundamental lack of respect for the self not only engenders forms of marginalization for the disabled but, moreover, in a cruel reversal, serves to internalize the message of exclusion to the disabled themselves. By minimizing its own expectations for equality and dignity, contemporary society effectively underscores the inequity and discrimination people with disabilities are trying to overcome. ■ David Shannon is a graduate of Lakehead and an activist for the rights of people with disabilities.

Lakehead UNIVERSITY �President's Message The Maclean 's University Rankings and other Important Matters by Dr. Fred Gilbert President and Vice-Chancellor, Lakehead University I must admit that part of my disenchantment with the Maclean's rankings comes when my Alma Mater(s) crow about their placement in the rankings. Naturally, there is no acknowledgement that the placements carry little significance as to the actual quality of education received vis-a-vis other universities. The same caveats apply whether you are first or last and these are: • There is precious little difference in most categories and the margin of statistical error about the mean encompasses most of the data points. • The measures are primarily input in nature, e.g. does the percentage of students with an incoming average >75% really say anything about the quality of education provided? • A substantial weighting is still given to essentially a popularity poll where the vast majority of respondents across the country have no idea what goes on at Lakehead but are still willing to rate us. • At the end of the day it is really about how well our students are actually educated and how well they perform once they enter society (c.f. Shale and Liu, 2002). In fact, the best determinants of a university's performance are those related to student success and student experience. Maclean's moved somewhat in this direction this year with a survey of student satisfaction. Now if they were to replace some of the input measures with these responses and the value Lakehead University added analysis (where Lakehead placed first in Canada for the second year in a row), we might see a significant improvement over what has become a perennial 17th place ranking in a category that truly compares unlike institutions. Unfortunately, there is good evidence that the rankings influence decisions regarding which university to attend, particularly for those students who have no other reference point (Mueller and Rockerbic, 2002). institution and its primary "selling" points. The intent is to offset a 1 7th place Primarily Undergraduate ranking with real information and a positive public image. While other universities are entering this arena, we have made a commitment to be successful in an increasingly competitive marketplace and to show the comprehensive nature of our university. Finally, there is corroboration that the categories Maclean's uses compare unlike institutions. Page and Cramer (2000) contend that appropriate cluster analysis would place Lakehead University in a category with universities very different from the Maclean's Primarily Undergraduate group. Even in 2000 we were more like the Comprehensive category and our peers in the cluster analysis used to generate three groupings, the number of groupings used by Maclean's, were Calgary, Carleton, Concordia, Manitoba, Memorial, Moncton, New Brunswick, Ryerson, Saskatchewan, Sherbrooke, Wilfrid Laurier, and Windsor. we are left with how to In the final analysis, we are left with how to deal with misleading information that could negatively impact our enrolment. This is where the Office of Communications plays an important role in harmonizing our institutional websites, presenting a consistent image of Lakehead whether in print, correspondence, or visual forms, and in coordinating the awareness campaign to market the "In the final analysis, deal with misleading information that could negatively impact our enrolment." We soon will know the recommendations of Bob Rae's Review of the Post-Secondary Education Sector. The University's response, formulated by a task force representing the community of interests on campus, is at http://www.lakeheadu.ca/-analysis/lk hdresponsetoraereview.pdf on Lakehead's webpage. The message is consistent with the one we have been making to government over the past six years. And if we finally can have redress for our chronic underfunding due to the stranded students created by over a decade of public policy, which disadvantaged this university, we truly will have captured the power to build an increasingly bright future for Lakehead. Agoro Online - December 2004 - Page 2 �We came within 26 full-time students of meeting our budget target for this fall. Close enough that we can manage this year's fiscal challenges barring unforeseen catastrophes. However, until we have greater certainty around future funding we must be extremely cautious as we develop next year's budget. We must not put the University at risk by overextending ourselves fiscally so commitments to new funding will be limited, strategic, and based on sound business planning. We will continue to shore up those areas in greatest need and make policy decisions that will make economic sense, both in the short and long term. There is continued growth in research funding and graduate student numbers and great potential in international student education through distributed learning and recruitment to the campus. In fact, distributed learning and the capacity that exists with ATAC and the growing faculty engagement with the technology there, is critical to the long-term success of Lakehead. The nature of post-secondary education is undergoing a fundamental change and those institutions that understand that, and seize the opportunities presented, will survive and flourish. Finally, let me comment on the recent and continuing controversy surrounding the Coors Maxim event held at the Outpost by LUSU. This event has galvanized people in a way that bodes well for engaging in constructive dialogue. Students will decide, in a more culturally and gender-sensitive way, what events to hold on campus. We applaud these efforts and encourage that the dialogue be broadened to engage faculty and staff. Administration commends the initiatives now under way. Fundamentally, we all want a Agoro Online - December 2004 - Page 3 campus that creates a learning environment that respects individual and group interests in a direct and open manner. The University has a meaningful role and responsibility to play as a leader of societal reform, and a clear recognition of the values of diversity and cultural awareness should flow from here into the broader community. The recent controversy may aid us in this responsibility. My best wishes to all for the forthcoming holiday season. Safe passage home (and back to Lakehead) for our students and others travelling out of town, and may everyone enjoy the comforts of family and friends in this restorative time of rest and relaxation. ■ Mueller, R.E. and D.

It would respond to the City of Orillia's interests in international studies, Aboriginal studies, and tourism, and it would be linked to the distributed learning capacity of Lakehead University's Thunder Bay campus.

Together with the City of Orillia and Georgian College, Lakehead University will explore the opportunity to provide academic programming in the City. "The City of Orillia is an ideal community to partner with our institution," says Dr. Fred Gilbert, President of Lakehead University. "Over the next months we will be working with the City, Georgian College, and our own faculty and staff to develop academic and business plans for the delivery of university education in Orillia.

It was written for submission to the Postsecondary Review: Higher Expectations for Higher Education, chaired by Bob Rae, former premier of the Province of Ontario. You may read the full essay online: www.thinkontario.com One strand of this current literature on citizenship is especially interested in how political participation in our liberal democracies might be increased and how the civility and public-spiritedness of citizens could be encouraged. Will Kymlicka and Wayne Norman survey this literature in their article: "Return of the Citizen: A Survey of Recent Work on Citizenship Theory." They identify several answers to the question of how the challenges to democratic citizenship might be met. One answer comes from liberal virtue theorists. They acknowledge that liberals must share blame for the current imbalance between rights and responsibilities. Liberals placed too much emphasis "on the justification of rights and the institutions to secure these rights, without attending to the responsibilities of citizens." Liberal virtue theorists articulate a list of citizenship virtues, including political virtues: a "capacity to discern and respect the rights of others, willingness to demand only what can be paid for, ability to evaluate the performance of those in office, willingness to engage in public discourse." According to Kymlicka and Norman, "it is the last two virtues - the ability to question authority and the willingness to engage in public discourse - which are the most distinctive components of liberal virtue theory." These capacities of a good citizen have clear and direct implications for undergraduate education. An undergraduate education is wellsuited to developing the capacity to question authority and the willingness to engage in public discourse. And the complementarity to the concept of a deliberative democracy is also clear. An undergraduate education should include the development of political virtues and prepare citizens for participation in a deliberative democracy. Thus, universities have a new mission, a mission because they are institutions of democracy. Great universities should be judged not just by the quality of their research, the learning of their students, and the contributions and accomplishments of their graduates, but also by their service to democratic society as critic, conscience and public intellectual and by their preparation of students for citizenship. ■ Lakehead University.
