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should have waited until the correct authorities were notified, There was ample time to ask that this matter be withdrawn from the Newspaper report prior to printing , if this request was warranted by the editors .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. What about the Board of Governors 9 Here the possibilities of a 11 University Cound_l 11 apnear r,,a,,,tic"l"l"'~-v d ,,,c, ·:_roL:_~:rt would !Jl'0~66e ·n �3 opportunity for fences down discussion by all concerned with the ·Lakehead University situation on an equal basis. 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. You can 1 t afford to vote without being certain of who is involved and exactly what he or she stands for. Vote as you please but voteFebruary 16, 1966. · FRIDAY PRESS CONFERENCE. 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. My recommendations for s e tting up of a joint student - administrative athletic board to · provide better scheduling of athletic events in the ��� Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Tho wotion was carried. Trensuror Wnyno Tochorii in orctor to stop the lag in funds to thJ ~,H.S. from functions hold by Clubs or SocietiGs, expressed a strong plDQ thGt the position of the Trcqsurcr bo reinforced, He outlined a �[· p,"llicy rn which the .A.M.S. would freeze the accounts of any functions that were late coming in, I-t was .suggested by Mr. Jack Edwards (Science) that since sometimes it is individuals and not Clubs who ·1vere at fault, this ruling seemed a bj_t harsh. 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 game will take place Thursday, J3nuary 27th between the New Library and the Cafeteria, at 2:00 p.m. The Panthersj in training camp since last Wednesday, nre odds on favorites to take the boys for two touchdowns. As a handicap, the boys hnve nf;reed to ho.ve their feet hobbled one foot apart and tie their left hands behind their backs.

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.

Recent moves by the Soviet Union show tho identity of interest in action~ The Tashkent declaration la.y~ng tho ground work for peace in the Indian subcontinent was th0 wort primarily of Chairman ti.leksei Nikolayevich (known i!.1 the West as Premier Kr.::sygin.) By engineering this declaration the Soviet Union has gainod c~odence for its claim of being an isian power interested in the wolfaro of Asians while at the same time it has strengthened the naturally anti-Chinese subcontinent. If lasting peace is "'.chieve"d between the Indians and Pakistanis, the Himalayas will once again be an effective barrier against the north. __ Recent Soviet aid promises to north Vietnam carry on this policy of blocking China.

' ..., ,., ....,,.. 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.

VOLUME 11, No. XVII Port Arthur, Ont. Eight Pages February 9, 1968 McGill Lectures hamper learning Says Kingsbury Report By J. DAVID GARMAISE. for Canadian University Press t Yellowjacket goalie Gary Lapinskie, shown here after making a save, was one of the main reasons behind the Nor-Wester double loss over the weekend. photo by zatulsky Policeman lauded A lone bandit robbed the Bay-Algoma Streets Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce of $2,400 at 12:30 p.m. Feb. 1st. Local press accounts state simply that a suspect was apprehended one and a half hours later on Mac·har Ave. News stories concerning police action frequently omit credit where it is due. Thi::; case was no exception. Sgt. Jim Higgins possessed only the briefest description of the robber when he observed a man hastily re-enter a building on Machar Ave., after spotting his cruiser. Acting on a slim hunch, Sgt. Higgins located the man and brought him to the Bay-Algoma St. Bank. As the man walked ahead into the bank, the teller who had been on duty during the robbery looked up and screamed. Thus, a major crime was solved with admirable efficiency. Had Sgt. Higgins remained comfortable in his car, the robbery, like the previous one at that branch two years ago, might have gone permanently unsolved. Had he, upon apprehending the suspect, failed · to devise a certain method of identification, one that would make excellent evidence in court, the case might wen have fallen apart when confused witnesses picked wrong persons from a line-up. Through strong personal initiative, Sgt. Higgins established a record of efficiency that, in a difficult case of this type, might well stand as a record anywhere. He acted on a hunch. but on a hunch that was backed by half a 1fretime on The Force; he followed through in a manner consistent with his Honours Graduation from the Ontario Police College. It is this type ot performance that raises police work to the level of a profession. MONTREAL (CUP)-"Some students are :;•J used to listening to lectures and studying by themselves, that their ability to have an intellectual discussion with a fellow student on a new subject is severely limited." 'This is on.e of the conclusions reached by McGill lecturer Donald Kingsbury in his thirty-two page report on the McGill Students' Society Project in Course Design. The report, released this weekend, was started in May, 1966, by the University Affairs Committee with a budget of $960. from the Students' Council. Working with Kingsbury were John F'ekete, Robert Hajaly, Kim Liljefors, and Mark Wilson. The first phase of the program was a pilot project on "communication " The eighteen participating students were divided into groups of two cailed "diads", and were given printed material, designed by Kingsbury, to prompt their ·behavior and discussion. The organizers found "some students carried over such lecture behavior as being too shy to ask clarifying questions when they didn't understand because they didn't want to appear stupid." "It bec&.me more and more evident as we brought other groups into the project that almost every university student shows severe behavior deficiencies in areas of activity suppressed during lectures and during study activities Ii'.k e writing papers and reading,"' "Some students can wrte with ease about subjects they cannot discuss . Some students can Think Along With Mitch perfectly, but are at a loss when their partner asks them a question that requires their tho11ght."" The report mentions that the communication course was never totally successful, but, "we did demonstrate the feasability of breaking up large classes into active diads and triads.,, "Imagine a room of thirty students formed into groups of two. one or two consultants wandering around the room helping with problems, the students working with sheets which structure their discussion, probing, questioning, reading, clarifying, summarizing, too deeply involved in each other to notice the noise. We had that for many weeks, twice a week." The second phase of the program was "course design.'" Seven groups were sef up-English, Philosophy, Chemistry, Psychology, Chemistry, Communication, and Sociology. The overriding ~clusion of these groups was that the - aims of education in these fields could not 1;)e fulfilled in the lecture context." In an afterword to the report, the authors conclude: "We do believe the activity at the university should at once lead to, and arise from, the conscious considerations of questions of value: what is needed, and how it is achieved. The report says tbe present university perpetuates society's managerial elite. It does this, the report suggests, by preventing any major questioning of the existing social order. • Presidential Two ,n TBC6 Two second year Arts students are the only declared candidates in the Presidential election to date (February 6). Mike Barkwell and Boyd Hussey have both filed nomination forms, declaring their intent to run for President of the AMS. Of the four positions to be filled in the elections February 21, only these two Boyd Hussey Mike Barkwell students have been nominated. Other positions are Vice President of Academics. Vice President of Programming, and Director of Finance. Only rumours have circulated about persons intending to run for the other four positions. �February 9, 1968 THE ARGUS Page 2 This Week •••• Senate presentation points to inadequacy Monday, F eh. 5 Chemistry Club Meeting -- HJ p.m. -- HOO Calendar Committee Meeting •· 3:30 p.m. •· BR Rhythmic Gym •• 7 p.m. •• Aud.

Two concommital events have recently showed the total ineffectiveness of the "gains" students have made in Senate representation. On Tuesday, January 30th, the AMS made its first formal representation to the Senate· in accordance with its newly granted permit. The brief presented concerned the re-institution of a student-initiated course, Ukrainian Oa6. The course has not been functional this year because it was ommitted from the mimeographed booklets which were substituted for the late calendars. Since the course was initiated by students in 1965, the AMS is concerned about maintaining the existence of this precedence, particularly since the course has proven itself financially, and since there is no apparent reason for its cancellation. After the presentation was made Tuesday, the futility of partial student representation became evident. Of the thirtyodd people present, not one asked a single question. As a result, there was no discussion, dialogue or debate, and the students once again could not participate in the decision making procedure. Reports filtering through various reputable sources spoke of the AMS brief being passed on to the Curriculum Committee ofthe Senate for another month's discussion. Whether or not a decision on this issue will be reached before the 1968-1969 calendar is printed is the great question. The second quiet event that has pointed up the student's inability to have his say became evident when the lists of the new Senate Cornrnittee%,were posted. The announcement of the existence of these Senate Committees shows that the Senate of this University is evolving to a different form of decision _ making procedure. When the Universitywas still smaller, the Senate was capable of dealing <ilBS is making a lot of noise about their with most problems. Formation of the Committees indicates that, in fact, decisions will now be made in those various committees, with recommendations corning to the Senate, basically, for a rubber stamp of approval. Of the ten Senate committees listed, students have representation on only three minor ones; Bookstore Committee, Library Committee, and the Special Events Committee. Decisions made of the nature discussed in the Scholarship Committee, Curriculum Committee, and Agenda Committee are by Day Laban. Richard Needham's speaking engagement of last Friday left one shaking one's head in disbelief: how can one man touch on so many topics in less than three-quarters of an hour, and yet say so little? Although he was hilariously funny in his methodical butchery of sacred cows, his was more the repertoire of the stand-up comic than the barbed wit of the satirist. I had the distinct feeling that this talk was carefully timed as to the number of "laughs" it would receive, rather than with coherence and relevance of content in mind. Yet it totally lacked spontaneity, the magic moment of the ad-lib, that certain something that separates the truly great humorist from the "teller-of-funny-stories". Maybe my appetite is jaded, but some of Mr. Needham's stories on Toronto have been doing the rounds of that fair city long enough to be able to buy their own subway-ticket. The Yorkville jokes had beards longer than the inhabitants of that area, and plagiarizing that "from bed to verse" punchline from Joe Wallace's poem "A Curse on Those Who 'Kiss and Tell" was enough to bring out pickets with signs reading (cont·d page 8) MARINA INN Water St. at Park announces the completion of the first two student rooms NOW OPEN FOR YOUR INSPECTION OUR SCENIC-VIEW Coffee Shop (Open 7 a. m. to 12 midnight) WIN A QUIET FORD! AND THERE'S NOTHING TO BUY I TO ENTER, SIMPLY DROP IN TO (DEALER NAME) AND FILL OUT A "Q.T. SWEEPSTAKE" BALLOT. THEN DROP IT INTO THE HANDY BALLOT BOX. IT'S THAT SIMPLE. So, in a quiet way this past week, these two events have shown the desperate need for fully participatory student Senators, particularly on the Committee named.

It is printed here in the hopes that it will clarify once and for all the ..myth.. surrounding the "Harding issue... ) In the Jan. 18 Argus, you say I was "clumsily dismissed" as a lecturer in Psychology at Lakehead University. Foreseeing the possible confusion that may arise from this statement, I am taking the time to clarify the issue. I think the facts of the case give an insight into the subtle workings of hiring, firing and tenure in universities and show why the present setup contradicts the principles of academic freedom. It is worth giving a chronology of the issue over my rehiring: JAN. 31, 1967, When the vast majority of faculty got a letter offering them re-appointment, I received the following: "At the present time, we find it impossible to make any decision regarding an appointment for you at Lakehead University in the coming calendar." "Out of fairness to you, we felt that this statement should be made at this time. I would be pleased to discuss this matter with you if you so desire. Yours sincerely, W. G. Tamblyn." This letter left the matter totally with me. The "if you so desire" at the end of the letter does this, and is indicative of the bureaucratic ethos. It shows that a bureaucracy doesn't have any real responsibility to an individual person. If a conflict between an individual person and those with bureaucratic power develops, the onus is nicely put on the individual. To make sense of the mean- lay their decisions.

Then, more in a dialogue with himself, than with me, he went on: "If you chose to stay-up late at night writing, or talking to students, this is all to the good, provided this does not interfere with your availability during the normal working hours." In my opinion, Dr. Rothney was creating a straw man out of one incident in a poor a:itempt to find a rationale for his not advising that I be re-ap• pointed. When 4e stated that " ... every member of the staff should be available, either in his office or at home on the other end of the telephone line, or in the classroom, at least between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. as a general rule", if he was suggesting this as a criterion for rehiring, he would exclude almost the entire staff. That the vast difference between Dean Rothney's and my own idea of a university •· which indirectly, I will argue •· had something to do with the hesitation to rehire me, is shown by one statement in this letter: "If you do not like an institution, you do not have to work for it, but if you do choose to work for it, a certain amount of co-operation is necessary. I have taken some time to go into this official letter because it shows that the "reasons" were more fictional than real. To say the least, they were overgeneralized. That letter again left the issue in my lap by saying, in reference to the ambiguous and subjective criteria stated, "If this doubt can be removed, as I hope it can, there would be no hesitation about continuing your appointment next year." In the meantime, some students and faculty had indicated their feeling that I should be re-hired. (Thanks). No ban for Danes Eal'h time the U.S. Supreme Court considers and then overturns a censor's ban on pornography, Americans wonder where it will all lead. To an increase in sexual aberration? To corruption of youth? To an outpouring of filth from every newstand and bookshelf? Parallels with other countries are never exact, but some answers to the ques#ons may be fo_µnd Jn Denmark. Eight months ago, that country pecame the first in the west to pass a law abolishing all censorship of anything written, without ~xception. An end to pornography suppression was finally proposed in Parliament, and an extensive study was undertaken by the government's four..m.an permanent commission on criminal-law reform, made up of the nation's Ombudsman, tbe director of public prosecutions, professor off jurisprudence at the University oj Copenhagen and the· President of the Court of Appeals. With only the judge dissenting, the commission concluded that censorship should go. Last June, after a minimum of debate, the 176man Parliament agreed by an overwhelming vote of 159 to 13. What happened immediately, of course, a flood of ne'w books came out under such labels as the ·'Porno Series" and with such titles as "Stark-Naked", the story of a frigid girl whose theraphy by an orgasm expert is carefully detailed. The estatic exactness of description had not been legal before, and the publishers settled back to await the hordes of buyers. MIDDLE-AGED ONANISTS They never materialized. Unsold dirty books were sent back by newsstands and kipsks in staggering numbers. According to one publisher, about 75 percent of the first great overprinting of titles were returned. 1'Four to six months before the law was changed," says Publishing Adviser Jorgen Rothenborg," you would distribute 20,000 to 25,000 copies of a new pornographic title. Now, only about half of that number are printed, and a third of them come back. I suppose we only print for the onanists, and that's not youth, but mostly people from 45 to 65" agrees Publisher Hans Reitzel, who helped pave the way to reform: "There really is a very poor market in Denmark for erotic literature, now that it is no longer forbidden fruit." It is still too soon for conclusions about the law's long-range impact on Danish mores. which are already among Europe's most liberal. But since the law was passed, there has been no marked increase in sex-related c r i m e s, illegitimate pregnancies, homosexuality, veneral disease or even marriage. That being so, the government is next planning to abolish all censorship of movies and pictures. •- reprinted from Time Magazine, January 26, 1968. I became convinced that Lakehead did not have an atmosphere conducive to reform in teaching method (i.e. to enhance education and remove training and plaigarism in the university.) I had the chance to come to S. F. U. as a teaching assistant in sociology where I had reason to believe I would-have more freedom in my teaching methods. I am, in fact, more free here and I am not being scrutinized and singled out by the administration. This does not mean S.F.U. is an educational haven. It rather means that there are more here, honestly trying to develop a free education. FEB. 24, 1967. Nearly a month after the first letter, I did receive a proposal for appointment. I'm still not sure what happened and still found the statement in the letter "We trust that you understand the delay in this regard ... " I can't say on the basis of the things said or written by either of the Drs. that I do. But I have what I consider to be a warranted speculation. My chronology and analysis make it abundantly clear that I was not made a job offer in a typical manner, and that there clearly was an ambiguous uneasiness about making an offer. This was but another thing that showed me the links between hiring, firing and tenure and a conservatism that underlies the present failure of Canadian universities to take education out of the realm of rhetoric into that of reality. In my opinion and that of many others, here at S.F.U., hiring, and firing should be taken out of the hands of administration al together. They are well known for their subjectivities and prejudices. This would be one small beginning to democratizing the university and allowing education to happen.

It was fortunate for the reading public that Mr. Sheridan mentioned the title of the book and its author, Dr. K. J. Charles, in the opening paragraph and closing sentence; otherwise anyone having read The Myth of Inflation would be at a loss in attempting to connect the criticism to the book. u Mr. Sheridan's article lacks consistency of argument, misquotes Dr. Charles' viewpoints, misunderstands completely the author's discussion of inflation and demonstrates without a doubt that Mr. Sheridan has absolutely no comprehension of the economic environment in which the Canadian economy operates. Mr. Sheridan has made the one fatal mistake of college students: he has shrouded his mind with one fonn of social and economic organization, technocracy, and has refused to allow any other fonn of economic study to penneate his brain. For those who do not know the meaning of Technocracy, let me define it. It is a theory and movement (prominent in 1932) advocating control and management of industrial resources, together with reorganization of the social system for the common good, based on the findings of technologists and engineers. Just why technologists and engineers would make such excellent social scientists is beyond my comprehension so I will not take issue with the point. Let us proceed now to examine Mr. Sheridan's criticisms. Only the first paragraph gives any indication of just what Dr. Charles was talking about in his recently published book. Mr. Sheridan said, "Dr. Charles advocates, as did Keynes before him, that a government policy of deficit spending and a governmental aim of full employment could perpetuate the price system indefinitely." In a five column article this is all our eminent critic could find to say about. the book itself. The rest of the article is an inconsistent tirade about the merits of technocracy along with a rather poor and premature eulogy of the price system. In the first place, the above quotation from Sheridan's article shows his misunderstanding of the book. Dr. Charles argued against the application of the PURE Keynesian model to inflation in the Canadian economic system. He was able to show empirically that inflation was a "paper tiger" in the Canadian economy again and again Once again the AMS Executive has managed to stay on the fence completely, thereby allowing themselves a nice, clean name and a good job reference for next year. This time it is over a student being thrown out of a lecture for poor attendance. The last council meeting saw the AMS take a stand on the issue. However, the following day, they slipped back into their usual non-involved state. They failed completely to see that when they denied support for the student unconditionally, they also negated themselves of the flimsey position they were already in. Vice-President Barkwel I went so far as to tell the student; "If you don't like the system, get out". This by itself constitutes a complete lack of regard for the rights of student? he is supposed to represent. Our student leaders are turning out to be more damned administrators, totally out of touch, and totally disinterested in the rights and needs of students. There are four weeks left before the new executive takes office. This time try to elect your executive not by a personality vote, but by their concern for student interests. We know that the present administration is merely riding out the stonn until they are safely out of office, secure with their good names, and best friends with the university administration which is screwing the student in the ear every time he turns around. Let's take a minute and reflect on what the AMS Counci I has failed to do for us. They screwed us with the registration hassle, they fa~led completely over the principles involved with the parking fiasco, and now they have managed ,- to bugger us left, right and centre when they sold-out on the attendance issue. On the other hand, we've had lots of fun shows like old Gord Lightfoot, and we are soon to see Ian and Sylvia, at a token two bucks a shot. When are they going to realize that they are not merely a goddam booking agency for neat dances and other crap items which makes this place more like a high school than a university. It's about time that they got out of their coccoons and did something for us. Future student leaders need a precedent to go in the field of refonn and student's rights. Socially, this is one of the most progressive high schools in the country. Unfortunately, we are on the same level as Miss Fathishom's Boarding School for Young Virgins when it comes to student government. It just doesn't exist here. - ch and that the economic losses incurred in this country by trading employment for the price stability were monumental. He therefore advocated that the government pursue policies promoting economic growth and full employment, since the gains. from full employment would offset the losses from inflation a hundred fold. The reason why Dr. Charles calls inflation a "paper tiger" in Canada is because this country is so abundant in natural resources, has the fastest growing labour force of almost any industrial country, and has a surplus of capital stock to call on at any time excess demand might arise. Thus there should be no fear of demand-pull inflation of the type Keynes analyzed in his General Theory. In other words, our price system, contrary to what Mr. Sheridan thinks, is not in danger. To substantiate this, let me quote Dr. Charles' book, page 71. "The study of relative prices and their behavior during the post war inflation in the United States and Canada seems to show that the increases in the price level experienced in North America so far have not impaired the efficiency of the price system as an allocatmechanism." If Mr. Sheridan requires more empirical proof, I suggest he re-read the book. To discount Sheridan's contention that Dr. Charles advocated Keynesian policies, I quote The Myth of Inflation, page 75. Canadian "economic policies by and large gaily ignore the complications of the real world and apply the restrictive policies appropriate to inflationary situations of the ideal Keynesian model to deal with all price increases." In other words the economic policies of Lord Keynes vis-a-vis inflation are inappropriate to the Canadian environment. Havingdealtwith Dr. Charles let us now examine Mr. Sheridan. As to the fact that employers exchange working hours for purchasing power, I concede, as would any four year old who gets 25 cents a week for taking the garbage out for his mother. Mr. Sheridan, however, contends that with advancing technology, more and more human labour is replaced by machine laoour with the result that there is a lack of effective demand. There is an abundance pf production and Sir, yet nobody has the money to 0uy it. If this be the case, then Attached is a copy of page 14 why, might I ask, was the of the Argus, December 7, 1967, Canadian economy able to gen- issue.

And nobody will be particularly anxious to pull you out. The Argus this year has been the best ever, but eternal vigilance is the price of integrity as well as liberty. Sincerely, T. B. Miller Chairman Department of History �Page 6 February 9, 1968 THE ARGUS January: hovv vvent the vvar? By John Kelsey CUP Staff Writer While college editors spent January, 1968, lancing obscenities through clouds of pot smoke, the war between students and the world escalated quietly. Noisy protests erupted in only five cities,down somewhat from November's anti-Dow protest fever, but legislative battles for student senators were won in five more. A University of Western Ontario student dramatically ascended to the board of governors, and the University of Alberta rejected a student governor. "We don't believe in student power," said U of A president, Al Anderson. Three University of B.C. senators asked their constituentsif they could quit because they weren't getting anywhere, and the univerc:ity of Calgary's academic president did quit because he couldn't talk to his board. And across the country, students cooled it in drunk tanks as winter carnival fever highballed through central Ontario, Manitoba, and the Lakehead. The most visible battlefronts last month were in Quebec City and Waterloo, Ontario. At Waterloo Lutheran, the university fired two protPc:c:ors, George Haggar and Gray Taylor. Both were good teachers, but both were loudly critical of the university and its administration. Four hundred students retaliated with a class boycott and day-long teach-in Jan. 17, but the student council backed down and refused to support the action. The Canadian Association of University Teachers is investigating, nobody's been rehired, and the issue is in for a several month stall. But a week later, 1,000 Quebecois students travelled to Quebec city to demonstrate outside the legislature. Grievance? Government channels had held 33,000 of 68,000 student loan applications in red tape masses, causing starvation on the campuses. The minister promised to speed it up, but UGEQ leaders called it a stalemate. The biggest fight of all is shaping in Saskatchewan, where premier Ross Thatcher has raised tuition fees, removed high school teacher's bargaining rights and assumed direct financial control of the university. Students, teachers, professors and staff are mad. As hell. It will remain just a battle of words until F eh. 5, when the legislature reconvenes to enact Thatcher's threats. Student organizers are waiting. and organizing. A FREER PRESS The other visible eruptions were rel a ti vel y minor: engineers atthe University of Toronto snowballed anti-Dow protestors, and University of Windsor students rallied for a free student press. There, the 100 who marched through the snow protested the administrationforced resignation of Lance co-editors John Lalor and Marian Johnstone. It took more rallies, a strong student council statement of support and a Canadian University Press investigation, but editor Johnstone was re-instated and and the paper's autonomy guaranteed. Lalor is still out. What started it all? A few shits, and Jerry Farber's, the Student as Nigger. Lalor.'s not the only editor out for obscenity -- Argosy Weekly editor Allan Rimoin was fired by the university president Jan. 31, after a hassle caused indirectly by the same article. His publications advisory board is against him, and the whole mess in Sackville is obfuscated by a haywirenewspaperconstitution. "They all agree the constitution should be re-written, but they think it's expedient to fire me first," Rimoin said. Meanwhile, 17 college papers in Canada have printed the Student as Nigger piece, partly as a solidarity gesture Canada - land of paupertunity oy Karl A. J. Goodwin Somehow the conference on "Poverty in the Affluence" turned out to be a non-happening in Winnipeg, from a conference standpoint anyway. Four delegates, including myself, attended the sessions which included traditional presidential greetings and a movie, followed by a discussion on whether or not a poor Montrealer should be free to alleviate his money by allowing himself the luxury of mushrooms when he was unable to support his ten kids (one of which was born nude and uncensored in living 16mm). Everyone jumped at the opportunity to say what he had to say, like "Canned mushrooms are expensive and not nutritious." The completion of the Great Mushroom Debate formed launching pad for discussion on how we sixty some delegates could do our share to "stomp out poverty". A random consensus indicated that' 'Something has to be done." THE "REDS" BLED In th~ '_'work group" in wh~ch I _participated, th~ Cana~1an Indian was put under discussion.

It was also brought to our attention that there were no Indians in the "work group". A white representative on Indian Affairs left on another affair, ten minutes after discussion started. Other groups I found were apparently discussing how to make welfare agencies more concerned with welfare, and churches more Christian-like and charitable and how to create meaningful jobs for thousands of jobless people stuck in the rut. A talk from a Baptist minister from the District of Washington made the interested aware that the American Negroes were upset with their bag too. floor from its "bed" (the kitchen table).

The tempests grow deeper when you read the article itself -- each flurry reinforces its .message. The people in universities -- students and teachers -- don't control universities. Negroes in America are second-class citizens, and so are studentsin universities. SENA TE STORMING Academocratically, five campuses got a total of 17 senators. Seven are at the University of Manitoba, the largest catch to date. Dalhousie and the University of Victoria got three each, Brock got two, and St. Francis Xavier got two. But St. F .X.' s aren't real -- they don't vote. One of them, council president John Gorman, profusely praised the university's liberal administration anyway. Students also advanced on the senate committee front. Dalhousie, Memorial of Newfoundland and Waterloo all got students onto key planning committees. The total so far is 15 universities with senators, and negotiations are now on at the University of Toronto and McGill in Montreal. The University of B.C. got its four senators last spring. They've been there long enough to conclude the senate will never open its secret chamber, so three went to a student meeting and asked their constituents for permission to quit. Students said no, planned a mass sit-in at the next senate meeting, and negotiations with the senate for openness opened again. The explosion was slated for St. Valentine's day, but the threat has both sides talking again and it's been cancelled. The studtmts senators. so far CUSSTABLE Last year's major battleground, the country-wide CUS front, enjoyed relative peace -one in (Prince of Wales College) and none out.

POT SMOKE And everywhere the pall of pot smoke. The university of Manitoba discovered some profs smoke it. Winnipeg's good burghers blew their collective cool. Catholic Loyola of Montreal outlawed drugs of all kinds, shortly after police found 100 hippies stoned in a Montreal church. Finally, January bodes ill for the early blooming student activists in Ontario. A committee of university presidents meeting at Waterloo Jan. 20 declared, "There is no such thing as a student right to representation in the university government." Academocracy leads to sham democracy, they said. They're not the only ones catching on. Toronto Star business columnist Jack MacArthur, who talks directly to those who own Canada, Jan. 30 warned that if student power ever gets out of control and takes over the university, students might use it for their own ends and not the country's ends. State power moves in, crushingly, he said. Believe it. Don't Forget your heart's desire Morning Drag?

After I cut them apart for not showing up for a broomball game, my own faculties hockey team does not show up for a game against Business. (disgusting) In the latest episode of the perils of Bill Horychuck, Bill forgot the top to his uniform when the team went to St. Cloud. Everyone only brought their whi te uniforms except Bill, who brought his blue tops and white bottoms. Bill borrowed "Shoot, Shoot", Lou Pero's top, (Lou is Bill's hero), after Shoot Shoot fouled out early in the second half. Rob Woods sure laughed at Bill, but Bill got the last laugh as Rob forgot his practice uniform top the next week. Everyone was reluctant to lend Rob a shirt because they thought he would spread the latest epidemic known as body odour plague. Next week the basketball team makes its final home intercollegiate appearance against Cambrian College of the Soo. Earlier this year LU and Cambrian split the series in Cambrian and LU is out to beat them twice. On the hockey front, LU plays the undefeated Lake Superior College team in two important ICHA matches. Go Nor'Westers Go! Go Fans Go! And Support Your Teams. The cheerleaders have been working hard to promote school spirit, but without much success because of fan apathy. Now the cheerleaders are hoping to raise enough fan interest to get a bus load of kids down to Ashland for the basketball teams last intercollegiate game this year on Feb. 17. Lets have a packed bus so we can all have a fun trip. In case you haven't heard, the fieldhouse opening has been delayed again (what news), because the basketball lines in the key were not centered. Don Holmstrom of the Nor'Wester's hoop team is again making headlines. Don, a sophomore, has scored over 1000 varsi u points which breaks Bob Elvin's former variety record. Don ha~ scored 423 points this year while he potted 581 last -year. Roy Holman is second high scorer this year with a varsity total of 189 in 18 games. Girls, in case you're interested, Don's phone number is 622-4190. The ski and squash team hopefuls have been diligently at work lately in order to make the two intercollegiate teams. Both have upcoming intercollegiate meets scheduled. Last year the squash team did not fare too well in the Ontario championships, but this year's team has that year of experience on their side and could conceivably win the title. The ski team, on the other hand, is defending OIAA champs and I think we can certainly look forward to another top-notch team under the capable direction of Bob Morgan. The only member of last year's team who will definitely not try out this year is Tom Morton, (last year's Male Athlete of the Year at L. U.), who graduated. With the addition of Tim Hanarhan to the L.U. hopefuls it looks like Morton's loss can be coped with. Bob Morgan of the ski team is very disappointed in turnouts for his free lesso11s every Tues. and Thurs. at 12:30 on the hill in front of the U. All I can say is it's too bad because Bob is a great teacher, but the lack of participation is typical of the apathetic sports scene at L.U . ••• The S.A.S. seems to be leaving a lot of work of the interform program up to "Coach Hank" and the results are that the program has fallen apart. A bit more organization and participation by the S.A.S. would help. As the hockey season ·comes to a close, injured hockey goalies return to ixactice. Boyd Hussey has returned to practice after being out of action for a month with a broken jaw. Boyd feels his injury was a type of blessing in disguise because he has since lost some weight and has been nominated as a candidate for the President of the A.M.S. Meanwhile Al "The Cat" Johnson feels in good enough shape to return, although he is not sure since Mrs. Dusang has offered him a position in her modem dancing class. The way things appear it looks as if Chinese students would certainly have a stranglehold on interform table tennis. They're unbeatable. The Lakehead University basketball team defeated the Wisconsin State Yellowjacket Junior Varsity team 65 - 60 Sunday to avenge Saturday's 76 - 64 loss. Saturday a sluggish Nor' Wester defence allowed the Yell ow jackets to pot many easy shots while Don Holmstrom's 36 JI points at least kept L.U. in the game. The Yellowjackets had a well-balanced attack and fine control of both the offensive and defensive boards, allowing them to take control of the game. The Yellowjackets were led by Kober who hooped 16, but .he was also aided by three other teammates who scored in double figures. Rob Cameron, was the second highest scorer behind Holmstrom, with 9.

THE ARGUS First European Setninar on detnocratization of education EDITORS NOTE: The writer is an associate secretary for the Canadian Union of Students. one of two CUS representatives at th1> seminar. By Bob Baldwin, for Canadian University Press. DUBLIN, IRELAND, JAN. 19 (CUP) -- It isn't just the Iron Curtain that separates student movements in the world. This is the conclusion that can be drawn from the political alignments of the representatives of- the various national unions of students attending First European Seminar on the Democratization of Education, co-sponsored by the International Union of Students (IUS) and the Union of Irish Students (USI), January 17 - 19. For the allignment was not the traditional East-West dichotomy. There were three factions; the East European unions, the West European non-syndicalist unions and the syndicalist unions. And from the point of view of leftness on the political spectrum, the syndicalis'ts held the field. The tone was set by the firs't paper presented, an analysis byRylardStemplowski of the ZSP (Poland). The following passage was adopted almost unquestioned by all delegates except those from the NUS (Britain), the SUS (Scotland) and the USI (Ireland): "The aim of the process of democratization is to achieve a democratic education based on the following principles: -university; -free education and economic guarantees; -unitarism; -progressive and democratic content of education." This process must have "internal integrity," Stemplowski said. "The principles of democratic education are linked with each other and one has to put them into practice simultaneously.'' Stemplowski contended that "the process of democratization is more advanced in the socialist countries than in the capitalist ones." This provoked an instant response from Geoff Martin of Britain who irrevocably committed himself to the statement that a socialist country was not a prerequisite. Most vocal in opposing Martin's view were three syndicalist unions from capitalist countries, Jean-Marcel Bouguereau of UNEF' (France), Harold Breher of UGEQ (Quebec) and Jeff Wellans of VVS (Belgium-Flemish). These groups all emphasized the essential political and ideological nature of education which inevitably becomes bound up with interest of the controlling group in a society. They view the new role of the university as a factory for "learned robots" as being mere reflections of the needs of the capitalist class in an industrial society. Not unexpectedly, several East European unions sought to justify universal accessibility as an investment by government in the future increased productivity of university graduates, thus subtly differing from the syndicalist view. This was especially evident in the stand of Sijbolt Noords of the NSR (Romania). Only UGEQ and YUS (Yugoslavi·a) thought to justify universal accessibility in terms of developing a critically aware society through education. In terms of strategy, the three schools of thought were definitely delineated. • The Western European nonsyndicalists preferred to direct their efforts toward close consultation wi~ government and university officialdom. Their activities assumed reasonableness and responsibility as well as a basic identification of interest between the students and those who determined educational policy. Governments and university officials were to be thought of as friends and not to be pushed too far. The Eastern Europeans were basically of the same mind although their rationale lay in the concept of the collective self-will of a democratic socialist state. In other words, they saw the state as representing the people's will and therefore they did not see the student's role as being in a ·position contradictory to that of those in control of their education. Like the Western Europeans, they saw themselves as lobbyists integrated into the mainstream politics of the state. The syndicalists represented a radical departure from this point of view. They saw Richard Needham (cont'd) "Unfair to Canadian Poets". Really, Mr. Needham, somehow you missed the boat! With the educational revolution in full swing on all Canadian campi, you were given a real chance to direct your barbs at the ills and woes that beset our system of higher education; instead you chose to behave like the French general (not De Gaulle) who came to the crossroad and rode off in four directions . You regaled us with sallies on the Pill, on organized and disorganized religion, on manners and morals, but you left curiously untouched those subjects that concern us q1ost. It should have come as no surprise to you that the question and answer period failed to produce any commentary whatever: what was there to ask? And about what? 'It would have been foolish as to try and "question" Myron Cohen or SamLevenson after their nightclub acts. However, as a night-club act your Lakehead University ad• dress had considerable merit, so why should anyone complain? It is not every day one can enjoy one's lunch in the University Centre theatre, while being entertained by a man who must surely be in great demand as an afterdinner speaker. But those who came in search of the views and comments on the academic situation of a man who commands a large readership across Canada, and is thus in a position to make an important and lasting contribution to the contemporary educational scene, came in vain. the collective self interest of the student as being an essential contradiction to the interests of university officialdom and the powers in control of education -- the capitalist class. The syndicalists thus concentrate on developing a high degree of class solidarity to undermine the opposition's power. This includes affiliation with groups of similar interest, including labor unions. They see themselves as outside the mainstream and bent on destroying it, not cooperating with it. To most people the seminar was a success. But to the Western Europeans, their conservatism guaranteed they got nothing. One wonders why they were there. c~ e 00\) o~s~o of-~"~- G►,~~►t\ \), ~O ~" \..· .,.o ~"~ WHAT IS IT?

Students and faculty (and the odd administrator) entering the University through the tunnel were immediately struck by spray-painted slogans from one extremity of the tunnel to the ·other. "Revolution NOW" was the first mark, appearing on the concrete outside the north end of the tunnel. ••Look south baby and think" jumped from the middle of the wall in orange paint, as did the catch phrase "Tune in, tum on •· and take over." .,Free schools, free· education, free love" exemplified the influence of the recent Symposium on those responsible, while ..

Some concerned people began immediately checking hands, looking for tell-tale paint stains on hands of known subversives; others looked for more paint to finish the job. So far the search for the unknown artists has not turned up any clues; Logic would suggest that they had turpentine as well, or were extremely careful while at work. Hand-written spray on wall. A Symposium hangover by Ray Shankman What can one say about the happenings of Friday night, except to say it was an experience, totally worthwhile, insofar as our Wasp culture communicates best after ~ drink or two or three ( ad infinitum), and thaL.it was_a step to better student-teacher relationships. For drinking breaks down consciousness (self-consciousness that is), and this breakdown seems important to a viable revolution of the type that has been proposed by the student left. Of course the breakdown of consciousness isn't complete, and it can't be complete unless we come under the perpetual influence of alcohol and drugs. We do not have our OWN high. We wake up sober, full of consciousness, even guilt at our breakdown, with a headache, perhaps a hangover; we wash our mouths out, gargle a bit and try to forget by relegating past events to just another party, but a "damn good one". It is indeed \lnfortunate that. we can't. loosen up without these stimulants, that we .can't be honest without them, for on Larry Anderson, Psych. Dept., Friday night I heard much honesty and saw much soul from people who appeared dishonest and souless. MASKS REMOVED We live in a society that encourages duality and hypocrisy at all levels and the other night the . attempt was made to take off some of those worthless clothes that have been hampering our physical and mental movements for so long a time. Both students and teachers were, for the most part, unconscious of their masks: The alcohol had served its purpose. The party was Dionysian. Only growth could result. Yet some may see that night as a travestry and make the comment, "nothing wi 11 come of this." But I see it differently. I say, · that as an educational experience, as a life experience, this night was successful. Breakdown of consciousness helps instill consciousness, Many of us enjoyed the -dance of emotions, the holding of hands, at least the reaching out to hold hands, the sincere voices and the glassy eyes. Perhaps it is a comment on our culture that this breakdown exists when we drink alcohol, that we don't dig each other at all unless there is this special rapport. In view of this we should change our classrooms into barrooms, call a spade a spade. Students are uptight and run to the bar to get lowloose, to get away from the classroom. To encourage running to the classroom, rather than running to the john, make the c_lassroom a bar and if this can't be literally applied then we have to consider how somehow we can turn on · without it. For isn't this what all of us want, REALLY want, some rapport a meaningful expefience to come out of our seemingly irrelevant positions. Part of the solution to our academic foonality, inherent in our academic structuring, lies in a breakdown of consciousness. Once achieved it should be sustained for long periods of time. Then we can FORUM: question the candidates Today, noon, ,n the cafeteria McGill Dean blasts activism, outside riot inciters Bob Baldwin, CUS feel and absorb. For, when we talk about the University and the problems pertaining to it, we are dealing with communities, we are dealing with relationships, and the appalling horror of our time is that we -are not in any way significantly involved with our subject or with our fellow man. And this makes the University of today meaningless. Thus, to give meaning to our lives, our involvement has to be personal, intensely personal to the point where joy and not guilt, where perception and not blindness predominate, where, in point of fact, we are in some sort of harmony with ourselves. Friday night for me was very personal. I talked to people. I said outrageous things (but then I usually do). I enjoyed it. I talked to PEOPLE. I was a PERSON digging them, seeing the situation (overall) as a beautiful drama, a beautiful happening replete with happy and sad endings, a ·happening that offered a new consciousness, a new awareness even to those who didn't ask for it. MONTREAL (CUP) •• A McGill University dean attacked student activism and claims outsiders sparked the protests on campus last November. Dean of engineering, D. L. Mordell, who retires in June, told McGill honor society members at their annual banquet Thursday (Feb. 1), "Students have no right to dictate the pattern of the curriculum. uu; they don't like what is offered in a particular course in a particular university, let them go elsewhere," he said. .. It must be clearly understood that the student is an exceptionally privileged member of society," he said. "The privilege is fully justified in terms of his future contribution to society, but with all privilege goes responsibility." He said those students and staff who "believe they should have absolute power" should set up their own university. He predicted it would cost $Q,000 per student and added, ,.I don't think it would be a very good university." In student demonstrations on campus .. we hear much of students' rights," be said, "but very little of students' responsibilities." He spoke of the "evident presence of outsiders •· either students from other universities or professional agitators•· who have flocked to helpmanipulate student opinion, and who have supplied expert knowledge of techniques of protest. "In the name of democracy they try to impose their war upon, and interfere with the education of very large numbers of students. "Can anything be less democratic?" he asked. Mordell also criticized faculty who took advantage of academic freedom by "inciting· and encouraging students to attempt to hinder the work of the university." The dean said the student '1as no right to set standards ~f behavior. Students -should live .. subject to the normal patterns of behavior accepted in the society at large." W. Stanford Reid to speak W. Stanford Reid, a prominent historian, ·will speak on February 22 and 23. His topics will be "Society and the Reformation" (Thursday), and "The Christian Idea of Authority" (Friday). Dr. Reid graduated from McGill with a BA in 1934 and an MA in 1935. He received his ThB in 1938 and his ThM in 1939. In 1941 he earned. his PhD from the University of Philadelphia. He was a minister of the Presbyterian Church in Canada from 1941 to 1951, and taught history at McGill from 1951 to 1965. At present Dr. Reid is professor and head of the Department of History at the University of Guelph. As a histouan, Dr. Reid has special interest in British history, particularly the 15 and 16 centuries in Scotland; the Reformation in Europe, particularly the work of Calvin; and development of modem European thought. He is the author of several books and many articles which have been published in historical and theological journals. Dr: Reid's lectures, sponsored by the Inter-Varsity Christian Fellowship will be held at 12:30 p.m. in the University Centre theatre. �Page 2 Feoruary 16, 1968 THE ARGUS on parked hooks Funny thing about the Library. It has all those seats and cubicles for studying. And al I those people wandering aiml-essly around trying to locate somewhere to study. When you stop to think about it, it really is funny .

Harty ·responds to editorial Port Arthur Police Chief Onni Harty's handling of the accidental shooting of a civilian by a Police Constable, was criticized by Tom Macleod in an Argus editorial, Jan. 18th. No public reply to this editorial was ever made by Chief Harty. His apparent decision to let the matter drop rather than keep the fire alive by continued discussion, might well be considered a wise move on his part. However, Chief Harty did react to Mr. MacLeod's editorial. Some time following its publication, the chief telephoned as yet an undetermined number of persons at the Lakehead. In each case the editorial was discussed, and in each case the person contacted came to the conclusion that Chief Harty was not happy about the editorial. Because the occurrence of these calls has filtered back through several hands , it is difficult to state with certainty the precise effect, if any, these calls were intended to produce. Perhaps the chief, understandably angered, was simply letting off a little steam amongst his colleagues. If the calls had any other purpose, they could only indicate that Chief Harty undertook a cour'se of action that was beneath him. Since taking office in late 1965, Chief Harty has worked quiet miracles in the Port Arthur Police Department. He has changed the general atmosphere within the department_from t~at of a green pasture for war veter~ns! to _that of an em~rgmg pohce organization, one that shows · mdicat1on of becommg equal to any in the province. However, ranking members of any police force hold notoriously precarious positions. No matter what abilities these men may have, there are always those within the department who seize upon any opportunity to undermine their security in order to further their own careers. And there is always the man of influence, politician or merchant. who will carry out the same manoeuvre in order to provide an opening for a friend. Thus, when something like Mr. McLeod's editorial rocks the boat, panic often results. It is the type of editorial that offers itself to the kind of person who, though they quite possibly might disagree with it entirely, would nevertheless not hesitate to use it to further their own ends. Mr. MacLeod's editorial was completely justified. It will be a sad day when a policeman is able to shoot a civilian, for any reason, and the public is afraid to ask why. If Chief Harty can find it within himself to accept such questioning as the normal indication of a concerned public, he will almost certainly enhance his image with those persons who are asking the questions, and with the public at large. He will also show those about him that his position is strong enough to weather a few storms. letters to the editor A bottle of spirit for fans It seems to me that school spirit is a precious, yet readily available commodity. One can buy a whole body of it for only $5.00 at the nearest LCBO. A case in point is the recent hockey game between the Nor'Westers andMichigan State Chatterly's sham Monday, February 5, Lakehead University's hallowed cafeteria. Above me hung a great poster of the immortal D. H. Lawrence, or so I thought at the time. Firmly affixed to this portrait was a sign with the message WANTED . Now I know as well as anyone, that D. H. Lawrence has not been with us for a number of years. I naturally assumed that it was therefore a message to the student body concerning his legacy, namely his books. But no, I was soon to find out that I was sadly mistaken. What I had assumed was a symposium or some such study group was a sham, a slight to the character of one of our great writers. Mr. Barkwell, I address this sentence to you. If you can say that D. H.

Uh .. .It is my sole purpose tonight to remind you of the history and workings of this company as well as ... uh ... to outline the present crisis and its possible solution. Uh ... The factory, which is the heart of Gunk, was the unmarvelled invention of the third century B.C. It was built to meet the needs of that cen• tury, and, since fate has seen fit to prolong and enhance those needs, Gunk carries on. Basically, its function is to produce slot heads for boats using roundheads as the raw substance. The roundheads come from a large rock mass called thick• head. The roundhead substance is .easily separable from the thickhead by applying a certain amount of pressure to the rock mass. We take the pure roundheads and shove them into square slots. Then the finished pro• duct, slot heads, are distributed to the various boat companies where they are used to stabilize boats. The trouble began when the companies stopped shipping food in their boats, and began shipping tin cars and anti-personnel bombs. The slotheads in the boats exploded and ceased to function as stabilizers. . Under our present productuon system, we cannot produce an efficient slothead from our stock-pile of roundheads. There are several remedies: 1 . We could produce hard heads for sale to Creepy Create Co. This would be difficult because most of our shareholders are also shareholders in the boat companies ... and they are in competition with Creepy Create. Besides, the consumers think they want tin cars and anti-personnel bombs and it's a lot of work to reason with people who don't understand business. 2. We could put electrical circuits into the slotheads which would prevent breakdowns. And so, uh ... Gentlemen, if you follow my line of reasoning, 1 would suggest we put circuits in the slot heads, save ourselves a lot of effort, and maybe even our jobs. The most important aspect of the AMS Council meeting of February 7: 1968, was the redefining of the AMS executive duties to cope with changing conditions at the University. Chief Justice Bert Baumann announced the changes to be placed in the constitution to Council, saying that the new definitions would allow the Executive to be increased by one member if necessary at a future date. The major change was in the Vice Presidential position. The ammendment calls for a Vice President of Academics and a Vice President of Programming. The position of Secretary has been dropped in favour of the latter. Treasurer is now the Director of Finance. He will appoint a Comptroller to work with him. This division can be made formal in future if a five-person executive 1s desired. Article Vlll of the constitution now reads as follows: I. The president shall be the chief executive officer of the Alma Mater Society.

Vice-president of programming photo by Drew JERRY BURNS "I think I'm the most experienced person to run for the position of Vice President of Pro- • gramming. As far as programming is concerned with respect to entertainers, I have broad knowledge and personal contacts in the field. I want to see a better rounded programme; probably the same number of Dinner Dances, but more plays, musical concerts, speakers, and so on. In short, something more becoming a university than strictly animal dances." Jerry Burns is in first year Business Administration, after being in Arts for a year. He was very active in all phases of student life while at High School. He has instructed in musical corps, has played and captained sports teams, has edited school year rooks and newspapers, and has sat on school council. Mr. Burns won an activity award in Sudbury for organizing a Boys Home Economics club, and (cont'd p. 6) KEN DAVIS "I feel I know what the students demand from their AMS Executive and I feel that I am qualified to fulfill the role of Vice President of programming. But I don't want to be quoted as saying that because it's too dramatic. Every campaign does the same bit. It loses it's meaning. What you say becomes more important than what you do; instead of saying these things, you've got to do them." Ken Davis is a second year Arts student. He has attended Lakehead for two years, as well as having been at other universities. He was on the Student Summer committee at the University of Toronto. At high school, he was involved on an administrative body of a fraternity concerned with welfare. Mr. Davis has also been involved in social programming at a summer camp for four years. Mr. Davis said "I want to make sure students get a good return from their investment of $20 in the AMS Council." KEITH GAMMAGE "I came into the University last September. I've never heard so many grievances in my life. Mostly about co-ordination and communication they complained." Keith Gammage is a second year Artsman, majoring in History. He says of himself, "I'm not that well qualified, but I'd certainly like to try to improve things. I'd like to create better communications between the Executive, the Council, and the student body." Keith put in two years at Mount Royal College, where he was on the Council. He was also the Prime Minister of the Model Parliament they held. At present he is the public relations man for the Lakehead University Liberals. A native of Eatonia, Saskatchewan, he was President of the Young Liberal club there. "To satisfy the whole student body" Mr. Gammage placed as his priority if elected, "and (cont'd p. 6) �Page 4 February 16, 1968 THE ARGUS Amid paint cans and stacked tables, the tape recorder was placed. Associate Justice Karl Goodwin was in charge, with the consent of the Presidential candidates, Mike Barkwell and Boyd Hussey. Presidential elections 1968 Experience BARKWELL - "I think the major experience I have is being Vice Pre•s ident this year. I also have been President of Burlington Central Higl, School, and when at Fenlin Falls High School, I wanted to run for President, but unfortunately Grade 13 students were not allowed to run. I was very active· m Fenlin, assisting the council in such things as doing the planning for the dances, emceeing the dances, and just doing basic council work." HUSSEY • "I was on the Student Council at my High School in Toronto for four years, President of my class at the same High School for two years. At Mount Allison University I worked on several of the Council committees. I was also on the orientation committee. I was chairman of the ways and means committee for the class of '66. There is also the administrative experience I gained teaching and the programming experience I gained as Programme Director at a summer camp for the last four years." Liason between Confederation College, Teachers' College and the University HUSSEY - "Since it is now inevitable that Teachers' College is going to be linked with the University, it is obvious we must get more in touch with them. If they understand more the way students here operate and think •· and from what appeared in the Argus in the first term it seems there's a feeling at Teachers' College that. they're not appreciated, or thought very highly of. Both sides are going to have to explore this if it does exist." BARK WELL • "The links with Confederation College have been strengthened. We've been over there to attend one of their Counci_l mretings and we've had several conversations with their leaders. We helped them with their Council. Now we're helping them set up their books. I know Don (Lees) right now is giving them ideas on how to set up central banking. I haven't had too much communication with Teachers' College unfortunately, but I think that we should, now that we are started on a plan to amalgamate. It's going to be a little difficult because their program is the way it is. They're away from their school so much they're going to have difficulty assimilating to the University. But the social programming I think should prove extremely beneficial." The choice Should student governments take stands on affairs outside the University HUSSEY • "If the feeling in the University is pro specific one issue, it is ·debatable whether the Council can actually come out and take a stand on it. However, if the feeling in the Council was that they should take a stand, they should be prepared to do so, since they are the student leaders. They should not hesitate if they feel a stand is necessary, to take one. We are a part of society and we should be aware of what's happening, interested in helping or changing anything we can." BARK.WELL • "I think that in some issues it might be necessary for the University through_ the AMS to take a stand. Issues like birth control, and making available information on it. If there is to be any action taken • • like on Vietnam •· it should come through the clubs and not the student government itself. Not that I mean the student government should be wishy-washy, and not care about what's going on, but I think that the economics of the situation will not allow it. In some cases I think it would be to take stands.•· University Schools as part of the University BARK.WELL - "There's lots of room for this faculty. I think they serve a specific purpos.e. Look at the way education is Student representation in University government BARKWELL - "Myselfl feel that we should have representation on the Senate. I had thought over this and disagreed with representation on the Senate because of what happened at UBC. But they have a larger Senate out there. They felt they were just rubber-stamping. The students were not well enough represented to have any say at all. But after talking to Mr. Tamolyn and to some of the professors on Senate, I thought that if we could just get on the Senate committees • like the curriculum committees • then we could do some good. But I think we would have to have a seat on Senate in order to get on the committees. Work is done in committees and Senate, I think, just hashes over what committees do. We have to get on the curriculum committees." HUSSEY • "I'm worried about the sense of having any students on the Senate. It might be simply tokenism. But, I think the good aspects of it outweigh the adverse. It's not just getting membership on the Senate. We must have members on all the committees, particularly the faculty -committee because we've got to work closer with the faculty. As the two groups - students and faculty are the ones most concerned with education, the Administration and the Board of Governors have to realize students are concerned over the type of education they're getting. They're going to have to realize also that they're asking • and expecting • to assume a larger role in deciding just how that education is going to come about. They've got to throw out the old idea that educational reform always comes from the top. There are many faculty members who can see this change in the trends, and as soon as the Administration does, things around here will happen a lot quicker. Things will be a lot better and there will be a lot more actual learning done. It's not just a matter· of getting an education .anymore so you can get a job. It's fast becoming a majority of students who want a straight education not for a job but just for the sake of getting an education and improving themselves. And so in that sense we must get Senate representation and committee representation too." MIKE BARKWELL photo by Drew �February 16, 1968 Page 5 THE ARGUS ?f .t~e studen_t code as set by the judicial committee and the JU~ci~l committee can charge them if they go wrong. The same thmg is true of the student television in that the Administration will not allow the equipment to be used until a letter of intent is drawn up by those involved." HUSSEY· "Any media of communication or information whether it's student, private, or outside, must be free from censorship in any way, sh~pe or form. ~ow I know_ thi~ doesn't exist in many cases, but it should particularly exist in student publications ~ec~use they're ~e .ones. who are supposed to be challenging, finding out, and digging. A student paper is of no value whatsoever if it's not disturbing, finding out what's going on, finding out th~ reasons w~y, and unless it's reporting to it's readers what is gomg on. This means they should have the right •• they do have the right •• _to print anything they want. They're governed by the same laws m the provmce as anybody else •· libel, slander, and so on, al~o by the CUP Code of Ethics. If they violate that, then certainly they have to be charged. But up to those. violations they. have. th~ right to print any word or phrase or article they want. Then nght should not be curtailed." ■ • up to you Student housing moving. When you leave high school you can go into Arts or Scien<;e or.you can go into University Schools. They're specifically duectmg you towards a goal other than teaching, administration, or something like that. I think they have a definite purpose and I would hate to see them leave Lakehead University." HUSSEY • "I'd rather see them be developed into fuller programmes than to see them stuck into something like Confederation College. Mike says there's room for them. They provide another side of education which, if not as violent or ridiculous as the Engineers at Toronto recently, provide another portion of what people like in a community and in that respect they're a good thing to have. If this University is going to aevelop· into a multi-university, then it is essential that they are kept. If it's going to develop down the lines of a "freer education", then that form of education is more suited to Arts-type subjects. If that's the move then they're going to have to change quite a bit to fit in." Censorship of student newspapers by Administration BARK.WELL • "Censorship does exist in the student paper and in the television setup we have here, but it's not in the form of somebody coming down and previewing what goes in. It comes through the editors. The editors have to act within the bounds BARK.WELL • "I've given this quite a bit of thought. We have a $23,000 resource fund we can use for a housing project or a building fund. I was starting to investigate what kind of housing we could buy. But after the announcement of the residence expansion, I think it will in the immediate future look after the ~ousi~g ix:~hlem.. Next year we're going to have to be very mtensive m lookmg up student housing. Some are living now when~ they shouldn't be. They're living there because of the low rental. I think this year, although housing was a bit of a critical situation, it did work out all right. Next year we can maybe place some more students in Fort William and with the residences, I don't think there'll be much of a problem." HUSSEY • "Housing is a critical problem. I've had experience myself this year with three different kinds of housing: The Housing Bureau had growing pains this year. Next ye.µ it has to improve. Quality of the houses they lis~ must be changed. I don't think because residence is expanding that it's going to cover our needs at all. One of the problems wi-th Lakehead University is that it's not close enough. There isn't the feeling of closeness with it. The more residences we get, the more the feeling will grow. B.ut the AMS Council must look into the problem of housing with the view in mind of entering the Co-op housing field. Other universities hav.e found this type of program quite successful. And people don't usually choose to live in a low-rental house just because it's cheap. Usually they live there because they can't afford to go any higher. It's not a matter of choosing just to save money." Campus pub BARK.WELL • "I, don't think a campus pub, just as such, is what we're looking into. We're looking into a student centre which I think a pub should .b e co-ordinated with." HUSSEY • "A campus pub is. an excellent idea whatever form it takes. I don't think the students are after a campus centre incorporating a pub as much as they're after a pub. It's a good atmosphere to talk things over, to hash things out." Tuition fees HUSSEY • "It's a coming thing now, and it's obvious they should be abolished. I don't think there should be this economic requirement (pr admission. We're in a society now that can afford to send students to university free of charge. This is the only way we're going to get the free kind of education that is the only kind of education. That's the only way you're going to get enough cross section, enough argument, or enough new ideas, enough change, enough challenge into a university where it belongs." photo by Dl'ew BOYD HUSSEY BARK.WELL• "l think there are definite psychological aspects to this, in that a student feels if he has to work to earn the money then he feels that he has to get something out of it. Right now students are only paying 17% of the costs to go to university, which is not ,really very much. I think that if it were free that students would have one of their major strongholds taken away from them. The ,Department of University Affairs is starting to move into and exert more control on the university in the courses it teaches. This is one of our strongholds and if we get free tuit· tiQn the Department of University j\ffairs is going to make a definite move to control the university more than it's doing now."

If someone wants to come to university to play a sport then he will come anyway, and should come. This should be the motivation, rather than coming because of the free tuition." HUSSEY • "The university wants the publicity and glory of having athletic teams and this is the reason for. having them. If they want the teams then they're going to have to be willing to pay for them. Athletes are really under a greater burden than other students. With practice and such, it pretty well eliminates a part-time job. With games OI). the weekend, weekends are shot.

Rod Phillips Student apathy Complete HUSSEY - "I think wh~neve.r there is apathy there is always a cause for it. I don't think· people are naturally apathetic. I think Council this year has not informed students what has been going on often enough. They have not led. They have seldom even followed. They have not advertised their own meetings enough. They have not made available widely enough minutes, proceedings. This bas produced the attitude of well, who cares, they do what they want to. They plan dances. Council is doing more than that but they don't make it known. When students have grievances or problems, they somehow seem to get lost in committees or snow." BARKWELL - "I think Boyd has been basically very unfair to Council. Minutes are available to anyone who wants them. Anyone who wants to attend meetings is welcome to come. I think anyone that is interested can follow up through the Council. The committee system should be set up right from the start so it's functional. It was not as functional this year as it could have been in all aspects. You have to get people involved and working and then they're interested. It's a very hard thing to do to get people. They have grievances and they don't do anything about it. If you will follow through on their grievance, then they're willing to let you do this. I think the main thing is to get people involved and the committee system is the best way to do this."

Although the speake1·s were not as good as last year, their athletic accomplishments were just as prominent. This leads to a little note I made about local sports media reps. We have quite an array of athletes working for the local sports media. Pentti Lund was and still is a good hockey player. Bud Tolman's middle name is "Bowling Alley" while no one can deny Roger Patola the title "Ski Slope" or "Water Baby."

Marie, Ontario over the weekend and twice they defeated them. The first game, played Saturday, was a 73-44 romp, while the Sunday encounter had the Nor'Westers winning by a 71-63 margin. It was a weekend for the Nor'Westers to show that they had more on the basketball team than Don Holmstron as Cambrian defensed the tall forward to a point of frustration, holding him to 13 points in each game, when his average for the season is bet.ter than 24 points per game. Roy Holman was the top scorer for the Nor'Westers in the first game, hooping 17 points, while Jim Johnston matched Holmstron's 13 points and Lloyd Koski threw in 11 of his own. -For the Caats, it was big John Fletcher with 23 points, followed by Tallack with 10. The second game of the series again found Don Holm- stron held down by the strong zone defense but again Roy Holman came through, this time with 15 points while Lou Pero followed with 14, Homstron 13, Rob Cameron and Jim Johnston with 8 each. Jim Fletcher of Cambrian proved to be the top scorer on both teams as he hooped 31 points in the second game while Tallack notched 11 and Sharp 10. The margin of victory for the Nor'Westers was at the foul line as the locals made 23 of 39 attempts while Cambrian were good on 15 of 37 attempts. The difference of 8 foul shots was the margin of victory for the Nor'Westers. Don Holmstron might have been held down on the .score sheet but was as effective on rebounds as he has been all season. He matched Lou Pero as each of them picked 14 rebounds in the first game. then was tops on both teams as he gathered in 20 rebounds in the second contest.

Marie Michigan by a 3 • 1 count. In the first game, Lake Superior scored first at the 6:39 mark of the first period, but Ken Kivisto tied the count at the 9:30 mark. Lake Superi6r then counted their second and third goals, before Murray Smith brought the margin to 3 - 2 at the )8:34 mark of the first period. Denis Laliberte counted the only goal of the second period on a pass from Richard Tapak, leaving the two teams deadlocked at the end of the second stanza. In the third period Lake Superior struck quickly fo1 two goals before five minutes were up, forcing the Nor'Westers to go completely on the o££ensive, a tactic which backfired as Lake Superior again scored two quick goals at the 15 and 17 minute mark of the third period for the final 7 - 3 mark. Kas PAPE:RRA(L) Miyata in the Nor'Wester goal had a busy evening as he was forced to make 46 saves, while Duffy Lewis in the Lake Superior State College goal made 35. In the second contest it was Kas Miyata night at the Port Arthur Arena as he completely stymied the Lake Superior sharp shooters until the 19:31 mark of the game, when a deflected shot bounced past hiin. The first period was all Nor'Wester as they outshot the visitors 21 - 11 and went into the second period with a 2 • 0 lead on goals by Dave Siciliano, and Richard Tapak. The second stanza was a reversal of fonn as the Lakers outshot the local collegians 22 - 7, but Miyata was up to the task and the second period was scoreless. The second period of the game also saw a rarity in hockey, the penalty shot, which came about when John Fallis fell on the puck in his own goal crease setting the stage for Miyata's most heroic save of the season. Jim Fuller skated in on Miyata from the centre line but Miyata played it perfectly, forcing Fuller to miss the net with his shot. The missed penalty shot was d efi ni tel y the turning point in the game, from then on the Nor'Westers gave their goal keeper more protection then he has had all season . The third period had Murray Smith scoring at the 6:35 mark with Dave Nuttall and Clare Battiston assisting, then Rick Comley scored the Laker's only count in the last minute of the game for the final 3 - I score. This weekend series a• gainst Lake Superior State College saw Lakehead University play its best hockey of the season.
