VOLUME 11, No. XIV LAKEHEAD UNIVERSITY, PORT ARTHUR, OKTARIO. TWELVE PAGES January 18, 1968 Amalgamation threatened by Owen Marks The proposed amalgamation o·f Lakehead Teachers College and Lakehead University is off for the present. \\'.}lencontac_ted on Wednesday.January 10, Dr. John Whitfield, president of this year's faculty association at LU stated that he couldn't foresee amalgamation here at the Lakehead this year. Proposed date for union was to be July 1, 1968. Pilot project in Ontario Primarily, partnership between the two institutions was lo be one of the first such types attempted in Ontario. It was hoped that in so doing the educational standard of the participating students at Teachers College could be raised. But if such an affiliation were to take place, there would have been an apparent wage •discrepancy betYoeen instructors, of supposed equal credentials, in the two institutions . In fa ct this difference in salary could be as great as 20%, in some cases, on a basic minimum salary. Minimum salaries at the University for a full professor are $15,300, while Associate, Assistant, and the rank immediately below Assistant are $11,800, $9,300, and $7,700 respectively. At the Teachers' College, all the Masters are hired on an equal salary basis. Their minimum •vage is $12,000, and their maximum is $14,500. Dr. Whitfield went on to say he supposed that union could not take place until amalgamation was accomplished on a province-wide scale. The problems of wage parity, ranking, and the definition of the amalgamation could not allow it until that time.

John Lynn, Canadian University Press WINDSOR (CUP) •• The coeditors of the University of Windsor Lance resigned Tuesday after tne university president and the senate discipline committee threatened to expel them if they remained inoffice. University President J. F. Leddy called a meeting of the senate committee on Student Conduct, Activities, and Discipline (SCAD) last Dec. 4, to consider what he termed the Lance's "morbid obsession with squalid vulgarity." SCAD at that time asked for student council support in cleaning up the Lance, but council refused, reiterating the right of the paper to operate freely. Co-editor John Lalor told Canadian University Press Tuesday (Jan. 9) the president and SCAD objected to several articles printed over the first term, particularly an article entitledThe Student as Nigger, an analysis of university eduation in western society. The article, which uses four• letter words liberally, has appeared in the georgi an., the Ubyssey, the Argus and several other campus papers with little reaction. The controversy died down during the holiday break, but Lalor said it became clear Monday (Jan 9) SCAD would move to· expel co-editor Marian Johnstone and himself at a Tuesday meeting if they did not resign beforehand. In his statement of resignation, Lalor said: ''I gather from threats made by Dr. Leddy at th~ meeting Monday and from the tenor of the meeting in general that the committee is hell-bent on a course that cannot be altered, and if carried to its logical extremes, could result in the expulsion of Miss Johnstone and myself." In his letter of resignation, accepted with no comment by SCAD Tuesday, Lalor said he was not prepared to let any "arbitrary committee" play with his life. • The Windsor student council termed SCAD's role in the case "unnecessary interference'' which undermined the student body. "It is further the belief of this council that the university community as a whole has suffered irreparably from high-handed interference of certain members of the community at large who have, without regard to the rights and perogatives of a student government to publis~ in the sole interest of its students, shackled the privileges of freedom of the press." Lalor told CUP the Windsor community had also reacted to the Lance, and said the SCAD was under considerable pressure from inside the university and outside to take strong action. He said Dean G. A. McMahon, dean of students and chairman of the committee, along with Prof. Ron Wagenburg attempted to mediate the situation by suggesting Lalor and Johnstone accept "disciplinary probation." This meant, said Lalor, they would have to promise not to use any more bad words. The president of Lakehead, University, William Tamblyn, was a little more optimistic. He thought that although negotiations at present were being conducted on tender ground, he could still see amalgamation by the end of September 1968 at le ast. Tamblyn admitted that university salaries were discouragingly low for such an amalgamation, but added that the university had asked for substantial wage increases for the next year. Principal William West of Lakehead Teachers College declined to comment stating that negotiations between the Department of Education and the University were still under way. William Davis, Minister of Education, was not available for comment. Nor'Westers split with Caps The Nor'Westers split a pair of games with Brandon. University Caps last weekend. Saturday they lost 9 - 7, but they bounced back for an 8 • 6 victory Sunday. Saturday, Nuttall and Gellert each picked up two goals L.U. downs Brandon U. The Nor'Westers Basket• ball team completed their weekend with two convincing wins over the Brandon Caps. Saturdaythey won 65 • 47,· and Sunday saw them on the winning end of a 53 • 39 score. This brings their season record to 8 and 8. Don Holmstrom led the way Saturday with 25 points, while Roy Holman netted 12. L.U. led 27 • 26 at the half but pulled away· in the second half as a result of the great reoounding of Holmstrom and Jim Johnston. In Sunday's game, Holmstrom, Lakehead' s consistent scoring leader, topped the blue and white team with 17, wnile Roo Cameron had 12 and BigLouPero had 9. They were led by the aggressive defense and good outside shooting of guard Rob Cameron, while Lou Pero came through with some clutch baskets. One happy note was the play of Birger's second string as they outscored Brandon 7 • 0 during the short time they were on the floor. while singles went to Tapak, Fallis, and. "Al -Holt. Bud Crocker played a hard-hitting game on defense and carried the puck well for LU-. In Sunday's game, ''Rocket'' Tapak pumped home five goals while S1cilia,no, Nuttal, and Jim Gellert each picked up a single. Randy Wilkie, the latest Lakehead goalie, played well on the weekend, . despite letting in 15 goals. The big surprise for {.. U. coach Akervall was the performance of some of his rookies from the commercial league. At least six Varsity regulars did not make the trip. Jim Gellert, Al Holt, and Don Ostaff showed good form in both games. Gellert was es• pecially outstanding, picking up three goals and five assists in the two games. �Page 2 January 18, 1968 THE ARGUS This Week •••• THURSDAY.

Mr. Harding, a lecturer in New Residence facilities A $2,500,000.00 contract for new Lakehead University residence fac ilities has been approved and awarded to the Toronto firm of Catkey Construction Limited in c.onj unction with The Ontario Student Housing Corporation. Additional landscaping and furnishing cos ts are ex pee ted to put the total cost of the twelve building complex at $2,750,000.00 , with construction beginning immediately. The project will be financed through the Ontario Student Housing and the Central Mortgage and Housing Corporation, on a 50 year mortgage . The project calls for a 480 bed complex , to be built in a park-like setting on the banks of the man-made lake. The site will be directly across the lake from the present Uni versity Centre. There will be ten three-storey residence buildings, with each floor having facilities to accommodate I 6 students with a sitting room with T. V. and a kitchen also included. The other two build• ings include a recreation centre and a hr>11se for the master don. When the project received ap• proval from the Ontario Leg- islature , it was felt that the smaller buildings would be more personal and thereby conducive to studying and small group discussions. As the new residence, construction commences, there will bt in the area of $20 million in expenditures tied up in campus additions. psychology before b e i n g clumsily dismissed, breathed a lot of twentieth century thought into Lakehead University and set off much of the critical di¥tlogue concerning universities which has been heard both here and across Canada over the last year.

WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 24th Fencing Fencing will take place from 8-10 p.m. Psychology Club Last Thursday the Psychology Club opened up its second term of existence. Despite our unfortunate lack of publicity, the turn-out was excellent and the attending intellectuals settled back in their chairs to enjoy the academy award win· ning movie, "Profile of a Problem Drinker". The movie failed in its attempt to be graphically factual, but did, however , succeed in massaging the viewers' funny bone at various and numerous places. It presented a "year in the life" of a "typical" alcoholic and, with• out a doubt, could serve as an exciting episode in "As the World Turns" . Despite its minor drawbacks, it was , nevertheless, (in view of the approaching Winter Carnival) truly in the "spirit" of things and I wish more (rather, some) Foresters had attended. As you read this, I hope you are planning to attend tonight's meeting at 7:00 p. m. in Rm. 1029. As I write this I hope Dr. Chou, a well-known local psychiatrist will be guest speaker. Watch the posters. Only a pathetic four hundred copies of this year's yearbook , The Nor'Wester, were sold. A hopeful rise in sales was expected due to students' receiving their student loans , but apparently a better use for their money was found. Any chance of receiving a copy at the end of the year is verysmall for the exact amount purchased will be turned over to the printer at the end of this month. At present, 150 of last year's yearbooks grace the shelf of the yearbook office , appearing to be just collecting dust, but supposedly being saved for public relation purposes. As the AMS subsidizes each yearbook to the extent of $5.00 per issue, a loss of $750 has been incurred to date from last year's yearbooks . the ARGUS Conservatives active on campus Progressive Conservatives stodgy? Ask Gerda. The core of L.U.'s newly organized Young Progressive Conservative Club has now been completed. The campus club has had its constitution passed by the A.M.S.; and the club's nucleus is formed. The campus party is now prepared to take in new members who would be interested in associating themselves with the PC.'s on campus. In early February Duff " Muffed" Roblin (who was unable to arrive in Decem- Yearbook Sales ber) will be visiting the university - for sure this time. A number of other leading Conservative figures have expressed an interest in visiting the university. In the fall of this year the club will be expecting Tory leader Robert Stanfield on campus.

Also present was the Vice President of the Canadian Union of Students, Don Mitchell, University of Saskatchewan, Regina. Council voted to accept the presentation of the Ukrainian Club Brief to the Senate on behalf of the student body. Expenses of $104 were approved for delegate, Julie Weirzbicki, to the O.U.S. O.C.U .F .A. Conference . Miss Weirzbicki will present a report to Council on the results and value of the conference. CUS Resolution Council disscussed at length Priority 03 in the Resolutions of the 31st Congress of C.U.S. Priority 03 is the report on Universal Accessability . As members of C.U.S . , Council must ratify the Res• olutions. The disscussion appears to be aimed at estab- lishing a policy for next year's delegates to the Congress from Lakehead U. For openers "Education is a fundamental human right." prompted Mike Barkwell to voice his preference f01 the word "privilege" instead of "right". Argus editor Chuck Grieve stated that education is necessary to survival, at which point debate broke out over "necessity" in terms of personal as opposed to econo: mic gains; the implication of 'right' as financial responsibility, until the Chair requested Don Mitchell to give an interpretation. The C. U.S. Vice Pres. infonned Council that education is guaranteed equal to all by Act of Parliament, and therefore, a right. On the clause dealing with economic and ethnic discrimination perpetuated by the present educational and soc i al system, Don Cordingly took exception and said "You gotta prove it to me." Several instances of discrimination between students of equal academic standing from upper and lower class families were cited by councillors from School of Nursing. Pro- and anti- establishment lines were drawn up on the clause stating that academic and living costs of education render it inaccessible to many and set up psychological barriers to others. Economics Bert Baumam, mentioned that economic factors inhibit females from taking advantage of opportunities in education as they can't make enough money in the 5ummer. Bill Weiler stated that the present system discourages students from low income families from continuing their education. Don Mitchell pointed out that town students must borrow more and therefore pay back more money than students living at home in University cities. Don Cordingly· exclaimed ''You are all a bunch of hypocrites. The system is great, but at least I admit it! I've got two c:ars - the system is great." Much bickering and vernacular expression prompted the Chair to remind Council that "These issues are really very important!" Don Mitchell felt that the students who do not make it for financial reasons are costly to the economy of the country in unrealized potential and that free tuition would be one remedy, since tuition is only a token I 7% of the cost of each student's education. Several students present at the meeting voiced the opinion that universal accessability would raise the academic standards of our educational institutions because of increased competition for facilities. Following is the results of 2 straw votes: a)"Therefore be it resolved that the Canadian Union of Students reject in principle all systems of financial aid which involve loans, means tests, or conditions implying mandatory parental support, and (vote- 7 for- 9 against) b)declares that a system of student stipends must be a adopted to achieve equality of educational opportunity, (vote- 5 for- 9 against) Apparently nine of your representatives can't see that the present system is detrimental to the whole economy, as well as personal achievements of the individual. Council passed a motion to hire a lawyer to look into incorporation of the A.M.S. Bill Weiler motioned that the A.M.S. petition the authorities to drop the 80% attendance regulation. Motion carried. Bill Weiler is to take over the undefined duties of C.U.S. chainnan until the elec'tion, at which time the question 'to have or not to have a c:u.s. chairman wiU be decided. C.U.S. Vice President noted that the trend in Canada now is for the Councils lt, set up committees to deal with C.U.S. work.

And each team has in its possession· a tandem bicycle. Picture one team pulling off their rear wheel about five minutes before race time . It seized on them. It had done the same thing the night before and they had pulled it apart only to find three flat bearings in the hub. Picture another team with gear sprockets that spread apart so that the gears were useless. And still another bunch of students with a front tire with no less than three bulges on it. Their rear sprocket broke at ~ crucial point of the race. Meanwhile, the team with the seized wheel had passed most of the others, only to suffer a blow-out. And as they were executing one of the finest pit stops in the race, the leading crew drove back looking for oil. They had a seized wheel. What happened to the others we haven't heard yet. All we know is that there was not one crew that was not hampered by at least one mechanical failure . And you think the riders were crazy to attempt the ride? We sort of think so too, in looking back over the ride. But the reason we think it was madness was purely because of the shape those bikes were in when they were rented by the students. Yte wouldn't rent scrap like those bikes if our lives depended on 1t. Letters I am thoroughly disgusted. In the interests of fair play, honesty, perseverence, and abstinence, how can the AMS say they won the race when they packed up at the border, unpacked before each town, and then headed to Duluth? Mother truckers! That's what they are. They packed their bike into their truck and passed the teams that were peddling, only to have the fair playing, honest, persevering, abstaining teams pass them again. Mothers! Then they had the unmitigated gall to declare themselves the winners when they arrived at the UMD campus. But they failed to state how they arrived . As a firm believer in righteousness and truth, I wish to make known the real facts. Residence won , the ARGUS came a very, very dose second, and honourable mention should be given to the third-place SAS for lending the ARGUS their spare tire and tube. AMS didn't even place. Gord Fukushima Sir: I think I'll add a little verse, In confidence that it can be no worse Than last week's quibble from Day Laban Or the scribble above from my humble hand. Madam Laban would have us believe That a mis-6pelled word can in fact relieve The sense from a sentence, even a letter ... On her next notion I wish her better. Although they suffice when there's nothing to say And for avoiding issues there's no better way; ' It seems to escape Mrs. Laban That semantic arguments rarely stand. I'd hate to suggest she lacked vocabulary But considering the context it seems contrary To make ''panathea" into panacea Instead of the much more likely a~athema. I know this is getting quite absurd But strange things happen to the printed word And they happen to the very best of us ' When writing stuff for the mighty Argus. Now if the point, as Mrs. Laban insists, Revolves about how a word can twist And if "devoted to evil" or anathem; Replaces ''remedy for all ills" or pan;cea ... Then my argument is won, Laban is defeated; But, I think she might feel a little cheated So I invite her back to the "student power 11' fray Trusting tat next time she will have more to say. Until that time I stand my ground And claim the original argument ;ound.•• That the institution as it exists • Is defended by "corporate liberal" apologists. And the bookstore I'll continue to avoid, Of useful service it's most devoid. Except for those demanded by courses, I buy my books from other sources. vvhite - \Nash of the year avvard By TOM MacLEOD A recent incident involving the Port Arthur Police Department and a fleeing traffic accident suspect takes my nomination for the white-wash of the year award. The case involved the shooting an d subsequent serious wounding of a fleeing suspect. From the very first, this whole affair was handled witli. ineptitude and total disregard for standard procedure. INVESTIGATION AUTOMATIC The Chief of Police, Mr. Harty, realized that an investigation would have to be undertaken. But he did not suspend the constable involved. In every police force, when such an investigation is necessary, the person involved is automatically suspended froip his job un• • til the investigation is completed. If the person is absolved of blame, he is then re-instated to the force with full paiy for the period of suspension. Mr. Harty did not suspend the constable even though his actions and competence were under investigation. AOUITAL NOT WARRANTED The subsequent investigation did absolve the constable of blame, but I feel the evidence did not warrant an acquital. The man who was shot had fled from a traffic accident in Current River and had taken refuge in a nearby hotel. He was arrested there by two police officers. If this man was dangerous he should have been handcuffed in the ho~el. But he was not, and he m :maged to escape. The pursuing constable drew his gun and then, according to his account, tripped and fell and by so doing shot the fleeing suspect by accident. Why did this constable have his gun out in t h e first place? He had no business having his gun out unless he intended to shoot the man. HEAVY TRIGGER PULLS The guns used by Port Arthur police are almost impossible to discharge by accident. They have very heavy trigger pulls about ten pounds - unless they are cocked first. In the latter case, the guns have very light trigger pulls. The constable had his gun cocked before he fell. But a gun is never cocked until t h e second before the gun is to be fired. The constable involved had considerable experience in hand gun handling, and was fully aware of this fact. Therefore the constable's actions would appear to have been both irresponsible and dangerous. SHOULD HAVE BEEN SUSPENDED In the light of these facts, the constable should, at the very least, have been suspended for his actions, pending an inquiry. If Chief Harty suspends anyone in the future it will not be a matter of course, but rather a private verdict of guilty from the Police Chief. The inquiry, in absolving the constable, has also sanctioned poor procedure and unsafe gun handling. On the whole, I feel that the whole incident has been · white-washed . �January 18, 1968 Page THE ARGUS WINTER CARNIVAL photos by drew and zatulsky • �THE ARGUS January 18, 1968 MARG BURNS represents her own faculty of Engineering and Mining Technology in the Carnival Queen competition.

An estimated 950 students from Lakehead University and Lakehead Teachers College will be received between the hours of 8:45 and 9:45 p.m. The occasion, of course, is the Winter Carnival Formal Ball, the highlight of the Carnival Week. Suspense will mount as midnight approaches and the judges prepare to announce the winners of the Car Draw, the Faculty receiving the Winter Carnival Trophy, and, finally, the Princess who will reign as Carnival Queen for 1968. Music will be provided by one of Canada's top dance bands of seventeen pieces under the leadership of Ellis McLintock. There will be a light buffet lunch served throughout the evening. The Canadian Army has given their fullest cooperation, and will tend the two bars with no less than sixteen bartenders. They have also provided two doormen, dressed in 1867 military uniforms, to escort the ladies from their cars. The Army has made arrangements for the Central School Parking Lot to be available for use by those attending. The Formal Ball promises to be the gala affair of the year and certainly something you would not want to miss out on. a small fee and a Carnival button.

Nobody will phone his parents if he doesn't turn up. And yet both Duncan and his parents feel he is getting a far better education this year than in past years. Duncan is a student at the Barker Free School in Vancouver -- one of a new hr eed of schools th;tt are rapidly cropping up across the nation. Nobody knows exactly what a free school is. Between Christmas and New Year's, representatives of eight free schools from across the cotmtry spent several days at the New School in Vancouver trying to ;,mswer, among other things, that very qutstion. NON-CONCLUSION REACHED The conclusions reached were more non-conclusions. Those present learned they agreed on some things, disagreed on others. The only thing they were unanimous upon was that the present public school system is incapable of coping with modern educational requirements. Represented at Vancouver were Toronto's Everdale Place, Toronto's Rochdale College, Winnipeg's Who House, the Winnipeg Free School, the Viewpoint nonschool at Argentia, B.C., Vancouver's New School, Barker Free School and Knowplace. With the exception of Rochdale College , all these schools or non-schools cater to elementary or secondary schoolage students. Rochdale is a co-operative residence for college-age students that strives to offer a unique educational environment. But while those who staff the schools are less than certain how to describe their operations, the students who attend have few, if any, reservations. PROBLEM CHILD Take Duncan Innes for example. Before he was sent to the Barker Fre·e School, he was what is known as a "problem ·child." "I didn't get along," says Duncan, an unusually articulate youngster for his age, describing his public school career. "I used to throw things and get into trouble." Duncan says his mother sent him to Barker because of this rebelliousness, "I always liked to hear them shout at me," be says. "But now I ClassHied Lost- one young man known as Fred.

"Sick of school, I guess," he says. To date this year he has missed only one day . "But I didn't have to say I was sick. I just didn't feel like going so I went somewhere else instead." Each school day for Duncan begins with a meeting. The students at his school •• all elementary age •· attend a general meeting each morning at which they decide what they will do for the day. This aspect of the free school is generally widespread •· the active participation by students in the decision-making processes of the school. "If the teachers want one thing and we want another, we outvote them," Duncan says. BETTER OR WORSE EDUCATION The crucial question, however, is whether the free school gives a better edu• cation than the tradi~fonal public school. "I feel I am learning more now than I was before,'' says Duncan. A schoolmate of Duncan's 14-year-old Clay Ray, was less willing to assert this point, but admitted it was generally so. "But sometimes the teachers get pushy and try to run things. Then we won't talk to them, and we don't find out anything." Clay , brushing back his shoulder-length blonde hair (there are no dress restrictions in free schools) , tells of the type of things he does at school. "Well, one time we built a still,'' he says . The question was obvious . What were they going to do with the still? .. Make booze, I guess." Make booze! Wouldn't the teachers object? "No, not really. But we never got to make the booze because the little kids wrecked the still." ·s uppose they-hadn't wrecked the still, would yon have known how to make booze? "Oh, it's simple," explainel Clay, somewhat eager to display his knowledge. "You make a mash and you put yeast in it . .. " He went on to explain quite clearly the process of fermentation. Then he described how the different liquids in the mash boiled at~ifferenttemperatures and how this enabled one to separate the vapors in a still and then condense the vapqrs to get booze. "Of course, you can use it for other things. like making clean water," he added. Here was a 14-year-old boy at an elementary school level giving me a somewhat com- prehensi ve high-school physics and chemistry lecture. NEEDS MUST BE MET "The main thing is to meet the needs •· both personal and academic •• that the kids themselves recognize," explains Gordon Mackie, a student at the University of Manitoba and one of the most articulate spokesmen for the free school ~ovement: He is curre]ltly mvolved m getting up a free school in Winnipeg for dissatisfied high school students and dropouts. The mainstream schools aren't meeting their needs," he says. "For the student it is a question of what I need to know. You can't tell me what I need to know." For example, three- , four- , and five-year-old kids need to learn to read. They know this. Everything they see around them is in print. You give them books and you should watch them gobble them up." With the youths he is working with in Winnipeg, the needs are different, Mackie says . "These kids need to know how to structure interpersonal relationships . At the conventional high school level relationships seem to be based on economic rather than human grounds •· you know, the best guy:is the one with the flashiest car." Bob Barker, the founder of the Barker Free School, generally agrees. A balding 54, he is a senior figure in the movement. LEARNING TO COPE "What we are trying to do is bring people up so that they are best able to cope with life today and life tomorrow. The mainstream schools are failing at this for two reasons. "First, the means of the traditional school -are too limited. You can't educate people when you have 40 to a class. "Second, there is the bogey and fear of public opinion. Public school teachers, because they are public servants, are afraid to act. But so are politicians, and they are acting all the time . I call it a bogey because I · don't think it actually exists." Mr. Barker feels the "whip theory of education" •• his label for the public school system •· does not produce persons capable of coping with lifo. "All it produces are narrowly educated robots. We don't want kids to qualify for the status quo; we want them to qualify for changing the status quo. The most important thing is what we are doing for the kids. " FINANCIAL PROBLEMS Butwhile they are success- MARINA INN I/ (Mariaggi) Make the Ti/tin' Hi/tin your permanent home away from home Come in and see our student residence rooms ful de aling with youngsters, the free schools are having definite problems ensuring themselves financial security. They are officially private schools and as such are not eligible for government grants. Mr. Barker admits his school would have been out of business this year if the Company of Young Canadians had not agreed to pay the salaries of his staff. "We charge parents what they can afford to pay, but this doesn't nearly cover our costs. If it weren't for the CYC, we couldn't have operated this year.'' As in most free schools (the New School in Vancouver is an exception), Mr. Barker's staff are paid minimal salaries. The CYC also pays salaries at the Toronto area's Everdale Place and Vancouver's Knowplace. Mr. Barker hopes some of the financial problems will be met by an independent foundation now being incorporated by a group of Vancouver business and professional people. The foundation will attempt to raise funds for free schools. "But if we don't get CYC help next year, we could be in trouble," he says . Right now he doesn't know where next year's funds are coming from . SAME PROBLEMS ACROSS COUNTRY Across the country other free schools are facing the same problems and trying to cope with them. In Winnipeg_, he hopes to get some support from the University of Manitoba Students' Union. Because of recent moves toward student involvement in pre-university educational reform, he admits there is a good chance for this . But he also knows the prospects are less than certain. The free-schoolers are still groping to determine their ultimate goals. Their financial operations are hanging by a shoestring. But in spite of this, two definite conclusions could be drawn from the deliberations in Vancouver last month. The first is that the freeschoolers believe they are the vanguard in a revolution that is rapidly changing education as we know it today . Already they are citing Ontario's move towards ungraded public schools as a step in this direction. They also cite the Campbell River, B. C. high school as an example of where the free-school methods have infiltrated the mainstream system. Here class attendance is non-compulsory, students are allowed to smoke in the school, and such things as dress restrictions don't exist. "But there is only one fault with the Campbell River system," Barker says. "If the students don't keep up their grades, they have to attend classes." GRADUATES DIFFER The second thing that is clear is that the youngsters who are coming out of the free schools are going to be very different from our normal school system's product. They will not be complacent acceptors of the status quo. They wilJ not be apathetic _ citizens. They will be the ._., product of an organized attack against the existing educational structure, and they are going to expand this attack onto other areas of society. The movement is young and ,spreading. What it's ultimate results will be remains to be seen .

In a hastily arranged Association meeting two resolutions regarding the Administration's actions were drafted & passed unanimously. The resolutions read as follows: "THIS ASSOCIATION VEPLORES ANV WILL NOT ACCEPT ANY REORGANIZATION OF ITS SECRETARIAL STAFF WITHOUT FACULTY CONSULTATION ANV APPROVAL." and "THIS ASSOCIATION, MINVFUL OF THE RESPONSIBILITIES WHICH THE UNIVERSITY HAS TO THE COMMUNITY, ANV OF THE VESIRtABILITY THAT THE UNIVERSITY SHOULV ~FT AN EXAMPLE TO THE vs. COMMUNITY, ESPECIALLY IN ACCEPTANCE OF THE PRINCIPLES OF FREE SPEECH AND FREE ASSOCIATION, WELCOMES THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A UNION LOCAL ON CAMPUS S IT VIEWS WITH CONCERN THE PRESENT INORVINATE VELAY IN NEGOTIATIONS WITH THE AVMINISTRATION." At the time of the move, only secretaries in the Faculty of Science were affected & the Arts Secretaries have not received any orders towards reorganization. Dean Hart, the only official of the Administration on campus at the time, due to the a~sence of Dean Ryan, Dr. Braun and President Tamblyn, was not available for comment at press time. Regarding the general temperament of FACULTY the Faculty Association meeting, one faculty member said, "I WAS QUITE PLEASEV TO SEE THE ASSOCIATION BECOME AS MILITANT AS IT VIV OVER THIS ACTION BY THE AVMINISTRATION, IT MARKS THE BEGINNING OF A NEW PHASE IN THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN AVMINISTRATION S FACULTY MEMBERS, WITH THE FACULTY VEMANVING A SAY IN THE AFFAIRS OF THE UNIVERSITY. " Speaking for the Executive, AMS Council President, Peter McCormack said "AS SUCH A CHANGE WOULV VIRECTLY AF: FECT THE STUVENTS OF THE UNIVERSITY, THE AMS COUNCIL IS THEREFORE OBLIGEV TO TAKE THE SIVE OF BEST INTEREST TO THE STUVENT. AT THIS POINT, IT WOULV APPEAR THAT OUR SUPPORT LIES VEFINITELY WITH THE SECRETARIES ANV FACULTY." After several recent meetings between representatives of the Faculty Association & the Administration, the conflict has not yet been altogether resolved with the Science Secretaries still in the secretarial pool & their positions of Departmental Secretaries temporarily re-established. All negotiations over the matter have been postponed until the return of President Tamblyn in September. The ARGUS ~s publis~ed by the Alma Mater Society of Lakehead University.

Editor -H- cha.d Hannah • .J PROPOSAL BACKFIRES AMS Council, in their.meeting of July 30th, rejected the Administrations proposed plan to take over the Great Hall as a cafeteria for the 6869 session. T-he The Council decided that the Senior Lounge could be used to house the additional cafeteria facilities while the present Faculty Lounge would be Housing ~ Decembeq9[,i ~tje expected completion date for the 240 bed men's residence at Lakehead University. In this connection, Mr. David .Morgan, Lakehead University Director of Finance, announced a scheme to find suitable housing off-campus for these students until the residence complex is ready. The administration, through Mr. Morgan, has approached the Faculty Wives' Association to organize a campaign aimed at Faculty and Administration staff in the hopes that some of these students can find adequate accommodations with them. In addition, all parents of local students will be contacted and asked if they could poss_ibly house a• student until Christmas. If these two groups cannot accommodate all the students, then an· appeal will be made to the Lakehead Service Clubs. The present appeal being made for additional housing is independent of the Student Housing Bureau as accommodations for these students are only required until the Christmas break. changed to a Student-Faculty Lounge. In a meeting the ' following week, representatives of the Council & Calude Smith, Director of Planning and Plant Operations, came to an agreement over the disput~. It was decided that a trail period of one month would be allotted to the sch.eme. and, if after that time, the students were 'still dissatisfied, the facilities would be removed. When speaking about the change, Mr. Smith said: "The decision wasn't made lightly. Every aspect of the university is going to be jeopardi"zed by the lack of facilities." He went on to say that the cafeteria would be ... the hardest hit. Increased enrollment and construction delays have apparently caused a lack of space for many planned facilities O? campus. But when asked if the cafeteria problem was related to the recent construction strikes, Mr. Smith said, "It was never planned that the extention to the University Centre · housing a 700 seat cafeteria and 400 seat dining room, would be completed for this school·--year." He also stated that even if the strikes hadn't occurred, the new residence halls wouldn't have been completed for September as scheduled. The main area of contention ~ith the Students was the fact that they were not consulted by the Administration, when the plan was decided upon. Dennis Wallace, AMS Director of Finance, said, "It would seem that the University Administration considers itself sole judge in all matters surrounding the University and neither Faculty or Students are consulted when any chang,es are being made." Tom McLeod, 23 and Arts lV student Lakehead University, died suddenly Monday, August 19. At the time his death, Tom was working as a management trainee for Simpson-Sears at the Intercity Plaza. Born in Halifax, Nova Scotia, son Mr. and Mrs. Fulton McLeod, Tom attended school in North Bay until the the family moved to the Lakehead in 1961. H~ was a graduate of Fort William Collegiate Institute and then received his B.A. in History and English from Lakehead in 1967. He was working towards his Masters degree at t~e time of his death. Actively involved ~n student affairs during his four years here, Tom .was the Vice-President of the Arts Soc·eity 1966-67, and he received the President's Medal for his efforts in the Proctor Force the same year. His interest in photography lead him to work ·on both the Argus and the yearbook over the past years as well. .Perhaps best known for his work as the Chief Proctor over the past year, Tom was known and respected fair and . friendly man by the stuc;lent body. He is survived by his wife Joanna and son Robert F., age one,• at home; his parents Mr. and Mrs. Fulton McLeod and sister Anne, of 512 Brown St., Fort William; uncles, aunts, and other relatives. The deepest sympathy of all students, faculty and staff members of the University goes to the bereaved family ficult time. Tom was - a fine man; was our friend we shall miss him. �SEATS ON COUNCIL: U of T The University of Toronto has offered the Students Administrative Council seats on the President's Council as part of a new policy to involve students in university government. The offer was made during a private meeting between U of T President Claude Bissell and student leaders in mid July and is being considered by student leaders. The Administration source said (Aug. 6) no mention was made in the offer of how many seats students would occupy, or whether the body would begin meeting publicly instead of in closed session. Students elected to the SAC will meet this weekend to discuss policy for next year, and SAC Education Commissioner Andrew Wernick said he expects the council seats to be a major issue. Student President Steven Langdon fav- ours accepting the seats because they will provide a platform for student ~iews, but Mr Wernick calls the offer "a policy of divide & conquer because the council won' t have any pow.er as long as the Board of Governors exists and·tnakes the real decisions." "We would just waste our time and help foster the illusion that , the President's Council really decides things." series of public meetings this fall; the deadline for submissions is Nov. 30. Professor D.F. Forster,. executive assistant to President Bissell, said the committee of ten was formed three months ago to review and redefine the proper limits of the university jurisdiction and to advise the president on whether the existing machinery is adequate. Mr. Langdon said he would favour ac~ cepting the seats "if council stops meeting in secret and if we can get equal representation with the faculty. But I agree with Mr. Wernick that the council is really irrelevant; it's not in a position to change the university." Discipline at the university is controlled by CAPUT, which Prof. Forster said has long been recognized as inadequate, and which Dr. Bissell has called "calcified". The Caput includes the university president, the provost,heads of constituent colleges and federated universities, deans of faculties & the warden of Hart House. The provincial University Act empowers Caput to expel, suspend, impose fines or recommend the withholding of_ degrees, diplomas & academic standing The university also yesterday invited students & the public to submit written briefs to an advisory committee that is reviewing disciplinary procedures. The briefs will be heard at a a sac for lu D) ••• I Realizing the fact that the average Lakehead University student has no balls, a group of individuals should form a Student Apa th Y Club (S.A.C.).

REVOLUTIONARY COMMUNE Within universities, change can occur at many levels. One of the important places is the classroom. Students, both radical and straight, come to the university in the fall, and after some agony and deliberation, register. They find themselves in classes where they have little say in policy decisions. After a few attempts to change the class, individuals sink in to apathy and perform more or less as they are expecte~ to. There is a method ~y which students can break this pattern. Before registration, students of a radical persuation should get together and, after consideration of variables, which only they can determine, the group should all register for the same course. Now during the first few weeks of the course they will be in a position to have their proposals considered. come to an understanding of this prin• ciple. If they are unable to do this they will have an indication, for themselves, that they are playing games, not working for serious change within the university. • t..a....l a.ver,i I off-campus hou.sin~ b~r-ea.u. r~~ires a.c.coMl'Y'Ocla..-fio.,,s · fo.- One of the important things to remember when following this course of action is that group members must work together.

Sir: The people love peace and liberty, and enjoy those to the ~ull. All of them are so diligent, honest and sympathetic · to the poor. Nothing is cruel and miserable there. This is the country, Canada, in my dream from my childhood. Now, I as an adult, know well that your nation does the very best as a leader of the world, and I have been feeling ve~y close to you, and yet I am going to write this appealing letter for your help. I keenly feel it is very shameless deed �AUGUST 30/68 ARGUS 5 LETTERS ·coN .' T. but I cannot help appealing to help save my children. I do hope you would be kind enough to read this and the enclosed brochure of my work, though you are in the busy time. I am a woman who runs a tiny vocational school, _and now I am in a woeful plight. At a crisis of closing the school, I can hardly get to sleep at night with my better anxiety if they would run away to be beggars or · thieves -on the st~eets again. I used up all my personal funds to build the present two rooms and run the school until today. I have no regular income, and my school isn't associated with any church & I get no financial assistance from religious organizations. I .. believe we are the same sons transcending the colour & the board, and the same members trying to build the world of peace and goodwill. So I can appeal to help from you. & daughters of God The pen is mightier than the sword. Won't you wield a facile pen so that your students may participate in helping these poor ones? I entreat you again that my school will be affiliated wi~h your college and my children will get your help and friendship. Any help from you will be welcomed by the children and even a cent contributed will make them smile happily and fill them with hope in the successful future. If this appeal would be brought to your stodent council and they could raise subscriptions, it will be of great help to save my children from ··the extreme difficulties. If you want any more information of our school please communicate with The Breen Technical High School, 852 Boogodkong Tongnaekoo, Pusan, Korea, which American Korea~ Foundation operates.

I think it's hard to overstate the importance of this. You go to school for all th~se years 12 - and then college and then graduate school and you're re denied the opportunity to make serious c~~ices. WATSON: What could the student be choosing? WATSON: Jerry, in your article you said that the student is a slave. What are the components of a student's slavery? FARBER: Take my department - English. Our curriculum spells out in small detail what the student takes. We require so ·many number units for the English major, and we tell them what to take, course by course. Even the electives have to be approved by a departmental advisor. When the student enters my college he has to take what we call 'general educational requirements'. They are somebody's idea of what a well rounded person is. He does that. Nobody asks him: - Vo you want :to be we.le. }[,ounded? Nobody says: Vo you want :to be a. lop.&-lde.d ~,Leal ge.n.i.u..6? Vo you want to :take 150_un.lt6 06 Phy.&ie6? Vo qou }[,ea.,Uy want ~o :take Miclto-&i.ology? They just assume that because they run him through these courses, he is therefore going to 'be a modern western man. But I think he becomes a person who hates school, who doesn't see its relevance, who goes to classes because he's told to go to classes , who shuffles through with the slave demeanor playing the game, trying to get the degree. Most students at my school are very cynical and very open about this. They are aware that if they want to get an education they really have to scratch for it in school & probably they're going to get it outside school and that may be incompatible with their getting t .h e degree. But they want what most people want, the degree, the problem is to put on Mr. Charlie, to put on the slave-master, to do what he tells you, tell him what he wants to hear, do his silly requirements, smile at him and get through, and then be on your own. But I think it is a delusion to assume that you can spend 16 years in school and then decide to be your own man. You've been wearing a mask all the time, you take it off and it won't come off. WATSON: You've done it. You've been -a student. Was J. Farber a nigger? FARBER: Sure, I believed in grades so badly if I got a D instead of an A I lost sle~p over it. I went to UCLA and I was there to please my teachers. By the time I got into UCLA, I stopped caring too much. I spent most of my time on the student paper. But my slavish attitude resumed in graduate school when I really did prefer, for professional reasons, to please the people. WATSON: Are you still a nigger? FARBER: I'm a transitional figure. I've come out of one thing and I'm trying to start another. It's a very exciting position to be in, but it is also very awkward: you have to pay very, heavy dues when you make that transition. Imagine an age - our age - where you're coming out of one sexual morality into another. The people who are making the change have special problems, because they have to contend with what was put in their head by the old one & they're trying to create the new one. The kids who grew FARBER: I think to approach that you have_ to ask what it means for a.person to be a nigger rather than a Negro ~r a black person. To be a slave, or to be a nigger, means not only that you are exploited, that you've been treated unjustly, that you're being discriminated against, but that you accept it; you accept the role, you're willing to go along with it, you'll play the part. That's why the · student is not just oppressed or downtrodden, but has that slave mentality --- a sort of obliging, ingratiating surface & a kind of stubborn refusal to co-operate underneath. The student, as I see him, is put in a position where the main thing he learns is to follow orders, now, and I have my doubts about how much else he learns, par- . ticularly when you consider the time he spends in school. You don't learn that much for those 12 dreary years, but the one thing you do learn, as I can tell from my freshmen students at college, is to do what you're told. If I were to ask my students to do some silly thing, to go to the library and pick ten books off the shelf and write down the first word in each book and then write the words backwards or something, they'd do it -- I swear to God they'd to it. But, if I ask them to think, to care, then they run into trouble, because that's not what education has dealt with in their lives. WATSON: Now hold on a minute. The university students in the United States are perhaps 10% of the population and they have produced over the years a pretty enviable parcel of scholarships, scientific achievement, and exploration of all kinds. Are you telling me_ that these are people who have never learned how to think? FARBER: The universities of the United States have produced a great deal more. They have produced people, scientists for example, who have technical capacity in their area and no capacity whatsoever to insist on determining on how their work is used. They have produced people who are willing to work in their narrow area, who are very good at it, and who let it go at that. So it's true that the colleges can turn out a certain kind of proficiency but it's what they don't turn out that worries me. ' WATSON: What's missing? FARBER: What's missing is the ability and the desire to be a free man and that has serious effects on our national politics. There's a great tendency in this country to assume that it's all happening somewhere else politically and that you and I and other people do not have very much to do with it. The people up there have access to the computers and the inside information and they know so the. relationshi of the citizen to politics is that of a spec- FREEDOMS AT chat hannah Initially, "The UniveMliy }[,UeJr.VU .the }[,,i.ght :to 1Le0u.&e a.dmi..h.&ion .to any ca.ncUdate, and .to 1Le6u.& e }[,e-a.dmi..6.&ion i6 a. .&:tu.dent'.& a.c.a.de.mlc pM601tma.nce 06 gene/Lal conduct ha.-6 be.en uru,at-<-66a.c:to1Ly." (Lakehead University Calendar, 1968-69, p.49). This reference to "general conduct" has, for some time, been of great interest to me. However, no matter who I ask, or how many people I ask, no one really appears to know exactly what it means. Very interesting. For some strange reason, I always assumed that a university was a "community of men and women who have come together to pursue and to disseminate knowledge". (Ibid._ p. 25 7.) Whether or not the "traditional privileges of a university are freedom of inquiry & freedom of expression" (Ibid. p. 257) can only be placed in the realm of the ideological for the time being, when, as a good friend and graduate of this university, asks: "Wh.a:t c.a.n you ex.pec:t oil.Om a .6 y.&.tem wh,i.ch die.ta.tu }[,athelL .than educate.& 8 WOIL.6Mp.6 .&uccu.& at .the expen.&e o0 peMonal develop11ent?" Exactly what is meant by that quotation regarding freedoms etc.? Are the people who wrote the calendar in the same category as some at Trent University in Peterborough, who, refused re-admission to a candidate because of his "leftist activities". Is this the great academic freedom they speak of? Is the real meaning "Vo what you IAXlnt he/Le in univelr..6Uy, bu.t, do U 11 DUil. way. This situation does not exist merely for students either. "The faculty can testify to the lack of freedom in their teaching methods, and in their extra-faculty activities. What is the purpose of this university? Is it the production of pr9grammed stereotypes that it appears to be, or is it a place where people can congregate, in the real spirit of inquiry, to learn freely and, unencumbered by out-dated archaic concepts, evolve into socially aware, thinking individuals? And I emphasize individuals. "University life has its privileges and responsibilities" - to what? To whom? And most important, why? It appears as if the "University" itself is greater than the people in it. The institution is the God. Fear the great God and you shall be delivered. I wondered if these responsibilities include my personal responsibility to say "No!" to the system when it is strangling me by means of an insane prerequisite which I do not have to a course that I feel I would really enjoy taking?

That's the way I see myself: I am trying to work towards freedom in education, but I didn't have it. WATSON: How much freedom does a student have to have? Are you suggesting that anyone ~hould be able to walk into a college and look around and say: "Will, li'-6 p!C.efty nic.e. he.Jc.e., 1'U ma.ybe. _ -6w.dy • a.

Why not? WATSON: First of all, a whole lot of people are putting a whole bundle of money to operate these un1versities on the premise that something is going to happen to the student when he . gets there. FARBER: Now you are getting down to the crux of it. Who pays the money? Who benefits from colleges? For whom are they operated? WATSON: Now you are going to tell me that the reason the student is a slave is that he's being bought-is th~t it? FARBER: I think it is true that society expects that in return for its money something is going to be done to the student. WATSON: FARBER: Something is going to be done to the student? Done to the student. Right. I'm using that formulation intentionally. We want them to grow up like us & school is one of the ways we do it. School is the way we cut ~hem out with a cookie-cutter in the same shape we're in. But this is not necessarily the best· thing from the student's po·i nt of view. Granted if you want to reproduce your society, if you.could, what you are talking about might be a good thing to do. But if what you want to do is provide an opportunity where someone can learn - I mean really learn, not be trained, _ not be programmed, but learn-then it is not a good idea. What would be a good idea would be precisely what you said: that ·the kid walks into school and takes what he wants to take. WATSON: But supposing he doesn't want to take anything. I don't know how well disciplined you are, but I know how lazy I am. I think my inclination would be to walk into the school and just get to know as many girls as I could. FARBER: I think they have messed up your head. And I'll tell you why. You remind me of the black person who reaIly believes he needs slavery and is uncomfortable about, frying to do without it. He's afraid of being free. We grow up thinking:" "16 they don':t hold tho-6e. gJc.a.du ove;r. my he.ad a.nd i6 :they don' :t coe.Jc.ce. me., I won' :t get a.ny:thhtg done. be.c.au6 e. I am la.z y. " We mistake our slavish truculence, our slavish sluggishness for our real selves. Naturally you're lazy when you are doing Mr. Charlie's wor~. I've never been lazy doing my own work. I find as a teacher I am tremendously ener- uc~ted"; the; the Faculty is here to teach us what they already know, and (of course, this is all hypothetical) then, the administration is here to make sure that we have a place to meet with our professors, to insure that we have rest-rooms to go to when we feel compelled, and to keep our records in safe--keeping for us. As is the case though, the administration is here to make things run smoothly, to make sure that there ar~ enough people here so that the Govt Grants will come through, to decide on regulations to keep us in line and finally, to decide what we should take, what we should think & when we should think it. It's like when I was a kid, and my parents told me that the policeman was my friend, he would take me home if I was lost, and then the bubble broke when I saw the policeman, my friend remember, beating the shit out of peaceful demonstrators; spraying getic. I will stay up night and day doing something that matters, solely because I want to. Nobody will know the difference. I won't get into trouble for not having done it. I remember once I wanted to go in and talk about French history. I did not know much about it. I read endless books on French history just for one class. It was not really a good class because I had too much information. I dumped it all on them. The point is, I really worked because it was my work - I had the very best kind of reason - my reason. WATSON: Let's talk about solutions. You talk about pushing down the walls and letting a little air in, letting education into the street and the street into school. Do the solutions have to be violent solutions? FARBER: I'm non-violent. I don't believe you should hurt anyone, any time, for any reason. Sudden, yes. Absolutely radical. Let me go back to my metaphor of black people & the civil rights movement. We've been asking for sudden solutions & evE;rybody always sa~s: "Well, yu we.' Jc.e. gohtg :to do -6ome._:thing, bu.:t :thue. :thhtg-6 all.en' t done. ove.Jc.nlght'! If · you let them go at their pace, they will never be done. It's only with this insistent pressure, with this impatience Mhich is characteristic of kids in college now, that any change is happening. I don't think it's immature or romantic to ask for change now. It may be immature to expect I am going to have it tomori;,ow morning. But would I change it if I coul~, would I wish it could be changed by tomorrow morning? Of course because I think it's a plague --- I think what passes for education now is really a plague. I think its very dangerous." As a matter of fact, I think it's killing _p eople. It's killing people in other countries by what kind of citizens it is turning out in this country and the way in which they participate in the country's decisions & politics. I thi~k it can change. A great many. people are unhappy with education as it stands now. It's a question of realizing the power you've got. ' If students could ever realize the power they've got, they could change things very quickly. They came very close to it at Berkeley - they just didn't ask for enough. They &ot what they asked, but at the time they weren't wise enough to ask for what they should have asked for. They asked for a voice in what happens on campus. I don't see that there are curriculum planners so wise that the students couldn't do just as well. Whatever the students decided would be right because they decided it. Just as what you choose to read, that's the right thing to read because you want to read it, and what someone forces you to read - I'm not saying recommends - what someone forces you to read· is not going to be the right thing. ARE THERE ANY? mace over students, and, being a proper bastard. in general, At the expense of the student, administrators keep their files neat and tidy.

And what about the course in which the professor's personal political views appear, be they reactionary or revolutionary, and they happen to be opposite my own? What do I do then? Do I chuck my own views · out the window for the sake of a lousy ~ourse credit, or do I write what I deem to be true? It all depends on what you want out of Lakehead University. If you seek the paper after three years, then you have to prostitute yourself in order to get what you're after. On the other hand you can tell the whole establishment to go straight to hell take off and get what you want elsewhere. This, as a matter of fact, is one of the prime arguments of a particular official here at Lakehead. But what end .does that serve. Why not attempt to reform this University? This is a young place, and change can come easier here than many other universities across the country. Some of us believe that it is worth the ·concerted effort to try it. "PouU.n /wall.d An award for outstanding citizenship presented to the student selected by his fellows, the Faculty & Administration as contributing most to the.welfare of the University through his student activities." (Ibid. p. 286.) • As a show of support, let"' s award this to the person who burns down the old Lakehead University and builds the new one. That, I believe is truly " contributing most· to the welfare of the University" and to the people who will come here in the future. �co My hubby Ray & I spend long times in supermarkets.

Since we were stuck with it, we looked at its owner & tried to understand this rather unusual phenomenon. So we looked carefully at her looking at us. And as we looked we were astonished at what we saw. She was beyond all doubt a human being just like us. She was also a frustrated woman living in a hellish world without any love. She was seething with a veom of frustra tion and we · saw in her a woman who had, no doubt, never been loved, not by parents, nor husband or children. Within her, we felt a lynching mob, the Ku Klux Klan, a zealous witchburner, a John Bircher and a hot-line addict. But ~hat we saw was just another misdirected life. For this poor woman, with all her frustrated energy, even if she succeeded in burning Ray and a thousand others, would never find one minute of peace and happiness. Moreover because she would not look within herself for her solutions, but thought she saw solutions in attacking a person who was entirely a stranger to her, she would never change and so she was doomed in her hell, and she would never know why. Though it may sound like we hated her this woman seemed so victimized and helpless that we felt compassion for her, And I smiled at her and told herthat she was cute and that she was filled with too much hate, and though I thought these words would inflame her ange~, she immediately abandoned us, leaving us once again to our dreams which were no longer on food. She brought another memory to my mind and 1 remembered the Be-In held a month ago in Waverley Park. And I remembered a policeman climbing up on the platform to tell the kids to turn t~e music down as it bothered the patients in the hospital. The policeman's request seemed to be understandable, as the music was very loud and the hospital was nearby as people in ls are times dyTh 0 y forward hoping would make the move that would give them the excuse to pounce. And sure enough, be.fort= the concert was over, up jumped a young revolutionary who reminded the audience that they had been hassled. Hassled, Hassled, Hassled, Hassled. All of this reminds me of the stu- dents who say that they want to overthrow the University as it now stands students who want. to burn down buildings, write all over the walls, decapitate the administration, strip their teachers of their false dignity and false sense of superiority. Their feelings are certainly understand especially---'1 education~ ot to chew gum, smoke or mention sex and religion, to read censored Shakespeare and other writers, to suppress all feelings and emotions and at many schools, they were not even allowed into the library,, cafeteria or washe ified periods ng continues one schools than in the States and most other provinces in Canada.

Unfortunately, this vision is often accompanied by a desire for vegeance which leads the student to want power over that which has held him down.

Cut off some-• one's head even in the name of the greatest ideal whether it be Christianity, Democracy, Communism or Freedom and your .ideal turns into another French Revolution with you the guillotiner mocked by-- the wretched heads which resemble your own heads which you have cut off.

It is much more difficult to make an old University or any other well established institution ehange than it is to start a vital, new University. Can you blame people in our educational ck imagination? ination if they ted and stifled d meaningless ood? No, your are unfortunate victims o a soul crushing system. Sometimes the dull, strict teacher is just a man unfamiliar with any other methods of relating to students than those that were applied to him, and then again, when we do something for many years, it is almost impossible to re-arrange the wrinkles of habit. No, leave them be. Start your own Universities if it is University you want. Enough of saying my theory is better than your fact. There are not nearly enough free schools in ~xistence. Start your own schools. Hire your own staff, be your own Administration, in time you will have all the imaginative people who feel out of place in the present day educational system. The present institution and the new University can exist side by side -- the first, preparing people for office jobs and the world of business, the other, for the vast world of originality and creativity. It could work out like the Ontario College of Art in Toronto which gives degrees and produces cotlDilercial artists and designers for industry and The Artists Work Shop, which, though it does not give degrees, has more prestige in the artist community and attracts people who feel that their creativity had been stifled at O.C.A., and if you really have good ideas it will fo~ce the old institutions to either learn from you or to recognize and accept itself as the utilitarian commercial institution it is becoming, or perhaps, has already become. Our system has become too inflexible anyway. Let us once again Doctors, Lawyers, gravedigs, 1 bers, writers, mathe• n Discover your and it will mean much more to you. If we c3n do this then once again we may have dedicated and involved people, and certainly it is only when we have dedicated and involved people that we can -keep our learning and living alive. �uptotheHARDY NORTH - by Deirdre Smythe One of the main purposes of the expedition is to study the ecology of the area. They set up approximately 160 small snap traps in a campsite and leave them for three days. Small mammals - shrews, mice & squirrels are disected & preserved in various chemicals. ~tatistics are taken on the vital organs of the animals. Shrew ovaries & squirrel stomachs! This is done in a systematic manner so that a comparison can be made between time & place. A similar study was conducted last summer. A joint effort on the part of the Anthropology and Biology Departments of Lakehead University, under the direction of Ken Dawson and Tom Northcott, sent a team of two students to Lake Makokabatan on the Albany River - 150 miles straight north of Geraldton into the black fly infested bush. They are studying the ecology of the landscape, taking notes on the- weather, collecting plant specimens & evidence of Indian civilization. An all-encompassing survey, then.

Exploring Lue archeology of the area is also a responsibility of the crew. They look for old trap lines, Hudson Bay stores & check out. portage routes for artifacts of the trading era.

This allowed L.U. to win the Commercial tournament and give the top -teams iD the Intermediate Tournament a tough test. The simple reason for this new-found zest was the ,fact that the boys were playing for money. L.U. is tough to beat when there's loot at stake.

I In the Commercial Fastball Tournament, Lakehead University picked up the top prize money of $200.00 They accomplished this by defeating Red Rock 5-4 with Peter-Young coming through with a key hit. Dave Young picked up the mound win. Lakehead University received a bye in the second round and met the highly toasted Great Lakes Pap.e rmakers. L~ u. won the g~me on a throwing error in extra innings by a score of 1-0. Jim Gellert pitched a fine game to pick up the win. In the final game strong hitting by John Silvonen and Hank Akerval, who blasted two home runs, combined with fine fielding led to the prize money when they defeated Videon Vees 7-6. In the Intermediate Tournament L. U. once again started strong. They beat the Centennial Leag111e, All Stars with a six run rally -in the last inning. In the . next game L.U. displayed a strong hitting attack to down Macleod Panthers 11-4. Their final loss to the Ukes.. was the first loss in six tournament games. The Ukes had a great deal of difficulty with the hustling L.U. team and they eventually went on to win , the tournev in the next game with an easy vietory. In their second season, the Lakehead U. Nor'Wester fastball team failed to make the Intermediate League playoffs. Compensating for this fact was their excellent play in tournament ball. They won the Commercial Tourn~ent & $200 first prize money and the following weekend, they won their first two games in the Intermediate Tournament before bowing 4-3 to the eventual winners, the Ukes. In league play this year the Nor' Westers won 5 games. The pitching of Jim "Workhorse" Gellert & Dave Young was strong, and the hitting was consistent , however, the fielding was erratic. Lou Pero & John Silvonen had the big bats for the team, while Peter Young came through with some clutch hitting, but all to no avail. All in all, it was a hot frustrating season for the boys. When it ~ame time to play tournament ball, things changed. Coach Hank Akerval was allowed to play in tourney ball & this definitely could have been one of the factors leading to the winning mar.gin. t************-lr'k*************************t THE MANAGEMENT IS NOT RESPONSIBLE !

Loney was here speaking in preparation for yesterday's CUS referendum. Loney outlined several benefits of CUS - life insur- ance, travel and the lobby in Ottawa which has helped bring about student loans, tax deductable tuition fees, and is currently working on housing and the employment situation. Loney discussed course unions, one of the means for educational reform which gives students some control over their environment. The ·most extreme Canadian example is one department at Simon Fraser where the students and faculty meet separately to discuss issues and each has a veto over the other's decisions. Loney also dealt with the recent situation at Sir George Williams in Montreal. He pointed out that the destruction of the computer centre must be looked at as a part of the whole situation - the unanswered racial charge, the failure of a committee, the administration backing down from an agreement reached between their lawyers and the students. During the question period Loney handled all comers with ease. He described how decisions on CUS policy are made by member universities at the annual Congress. He pointed out that no CUS policy is binding on a campus unless that campus chooses to adopt it. Of course some came to heckle. An administrative employee (herself an immigrant) challenged Loney•s right to his position because he is English. Loney replied, "Some of us are Canadian by choice, others by accident. I chose to move to this country. Do we get points for the length of time we've been here?" Another question concerned compulsory payment of student union fees by students who disagree with CUS policies. Loney pointed out thatjust because some people disagree with government policies does not mean they can stop paying income tax. The CUS fee is only .$1 per student per year. Chief Justice not forced to resign I Martin Loney, CUS President-Elect -s,hoto by Acri Diefenbaker speaks at L.U. • Former Prime Minister John G. Diefenbaker spoke to an overflow crowd in the University Centre Theatre Monday. He began with an appeal to the youth of today to contribute to the building of Canada. He said, "It is everyone's right to disagree, to dissent and to argue, but not to resort to civil disobedience. If violence becomes the order of the day, then we as citizens of Canada will have participated in destroying the right of everyone else to be wrong." He added that the recent events at Sir George Williams University were against the law, and said, "92% of the students in Canada have nQ support for these lawbreakers. They have given University students across Canada a reputation that they don't deserve." On legalizing marijuana, Diefenbaker said, "I see no reason to legalize marijuana because of its attractiveness to certain people. This is a drug which can lead to the use of other narcotics." As to Canada as a bilingual nation all Diefenbaker said was "We in Canada must accept and maintain the constitutional right of each and every individual and see that no one is given a second-class citizenship." He ended by praising the present government for allowing Czechoslovakian refugees into Canada. He said, "There must always be an open door for those who stand against Communism and seek Freedom.'' Diefenbaker spent most of his time recounting anecdotes from his pastpolitical life and left many questions unanswered. Some unanswered questions were: "Do you think the U.S. should get out of Vietnam?" and "another form of civil disobedience is non-violent, passive resistance. How do you feel about this form of protest?" With these and other questions remaining, Diefenbaker left the stage amid great applause. Mike Barkwell is still Chief Justice. A. special Judicial Committee Tuesday 13 February ruled that Barkwell should remain Chief Justfre despite an AMS court sentence recommending his resignation and an AMS council motion pushing for his dismissal. Barkwell has been at the centre of a storm of controversy ever since he was convicted last month by the AMS Judicial Committee of lxeaking down a door and stealing six bottles ofliquor belonging _to the faculty. Barkwell pleaded guilty and was sentenced to a fine of $100, the cost of damages, and the court recommended that he resign his position as Chief Justice. He didn't. The AMS then passed a motion setting up a Special Judicial Committee to consider Barkwell's fitness for office then illegally ttconsidered it a few minutes later, and decided not to do it after all. Next week, after the illegality was pointed out, council voted again to set up the committee as originally decided. The motion began "'Whereas the Chief Justice has not performed his duties to the satisfaction of the AMS council. . . " and ended "'Failure to attend the meeting will be considered your concurrance with the motion". Barkwell did not turn up at the hearing at I :00 Tuesday. At 1:35 a . bench warrant was issued for him, and the commlltee decided to meet at 7:00 p.m. At 7:05, with Barkwell in attendance, the hearing resumed. After lengthy discussion and cross-examination the decision was reached not not to remove Barkwell from office. His term expires m April.

Kolasky, previously associated with the Canadian Communist Party for thirty years, spent two years studying in the USSR. His recent book documents the oppressive treatment of the various national cultures in the USSR and has been hailed as an invaluable tool to current understanding of the Soviet Union. Kolasky says "the aim of Russian Policy is to main· tain a tight control over edu• cation in Ukraine and other national republics, to restrict Ukrainians and other nation• als from progressing beyond the elementary and general secmdary level, to denation• alize them ... to increase the ... the continuous influx of Russians to occupy posts in government, education science and other fields." During his two years in Kie", Koslasky found that "everywhere there was evi• dence of pressure to impose the Russian language." In preparation for Kolasky's visit the Ukrainian Club, which is sponsoring the lecture, held a seminar to discuss three of the more recent books available Qn the 1..urrent intellectual disi,,ent within the Soviet Union. The three books, available in the university .!ih(ary,, are I. Dzyuba's Internationalism or Russification, The Chorno• vil Papers, and Kolasky's own book "Education in the Sovi.et Ukr,~ ne". - �argus, february 20, 1969, page 3 Howard Adams looks at Indians, students can no longer be a forerunner to new ideas in the areas of the social sciences." Adams said that there are a lot of faculty members who do not concern themselves with students' problems or current social issues. "The main reason for this," he said, "is that if a faculty member sees his success in the :present establishment social structure, he will harmonize as much as possible with the administration in order to achieve success within the academic society." However, he added, "there are a number of professors who are concerned and active and do feel that there are things that must be done to make the university truly a university and not just a place for grinding out cogs to fill the required slots in industry and business!' Adams then talked about the cuniculum at universities and explained how he was trying to change the curriculum at the University of Saskatchewan. He tried to discuss the course of study with his students and found it very difficult, as most students merely wanted to be told what to do and when to have term papers canpleted. He attributed this to their earlier training in the highschools which are framed around rigidity and authority. "I've done this with my classes who decide their own courses of study and are not required to _do any term papers unless they wish to do so. They decide what questions will be on the ex.am and even turned in a mark for first term that they felt was fair." He added, "we are prepared to face the administration and only decided to have exams at all so as not to jeopardize the students' academic positions." "Universities are rather dehumanizing experiences,' Dr. Adams said. "They stress rational thinking and students cannot relate to one another as human beings. People who go through our schools are living a dull life which leaves them spiritually bankrupt." He added, "I feel that in our educational system, academic work has become sterile and there is no room for the real essence of a human being." by Keith Clarke The similarity of the plight of University Students and that of the Indians and Metis in Canada was the topic of a speech last Thursday by Dr. Howard Adams, assistant Professor at the University of Saskatchewan. Dr. Adams, the son of Metis parents who grew up on a Metis Colony said "The Metis and the students are both fighting the same power structure: namely, the corporate elite, and the government." He began his speech by saying that one of the reasons for the current crisis in Canadian universities is the social structure in Canada. He used as an example John Mitchell, a Canadian Mercenary. "Mi tche 11 would not kill white people, but he had no qualms about killing people of other races, particularly the blacks. And it is his kind of personality that will allow people to kill my brothers and my sisters." He added,. "Canada is a violent society, as violent as that of the United States, and at the universities there are more sophisticated people· concerned about the direction of our Canadian Society." "The Western World is in a decadent Imperialistic stage, with institutions that belong to an earlier age which will just not work, and students have the greatest sensitivity to this." The university Adams described one of these institutions -the university. "The university", he said, "is an institution that belongs to the corporate elite. They are training schools for the power structures, namely, big business." He added that unjversities are controlled by these same people. "At the University of Saskatchewan," he added, "the Board of · Governors consitst of one half business men, and one half men appointed by the Provincial Government. These men control the University. They have the final decisions in 'all areas." He said that they tend to become oppressive and don't allow eXP!!!Ssion and expansion in the manner desired by the students and faculty. He said that universities are mainly concerned with their public images and that he had been faced with being fired by the administration because he was "too controversial." He pointed out that the Carillon (student newspaper at Regina) is presently out of existence for the same reason. They were not pleasing the established government and were attacking certain areas of politics or injustices. "For these reasons," he said, "the university The Indian and Metis Situation Dr. Adams said that Canada is a nation of white supremacy and that the Indians and Metis are treated as a colonial people. He said "if the Indians had not been useful to the white man in the fur trade they might have been wiped out, but later when they were no longer needed they were herded onto reservations and Me tis Colonies." He said that the Indians cannot integrate into such a society which is obviously racist. The Metis has olenty of ri2:hts in theory, but almost none when he tries to exercise them. As an example he sighted the reserve at Green Lake, Saskatchewan. "We had our own elected council", he said, "and we wanted to administer our own community, but were not allowed to do so by both the local and the Provincial governments." The Metis were told they would be allowed to administrate to their own community only when they b~came responsible. "But," said Dr. Adams, "who decides when we become responsible? Some government official. What criteria does he use? His own judgement. With laws like these our people are powerless." "Many of us," he said, "more actively involved in the Native movement, are seperatists and do not suscribe to the White Ideal. However, we have to relate ourselves to the technological world, perhaps in the form of some light industries, as we don;t want to be , kept on welfare as this keeps us under the control of the government. He added, "Practically all teachers and school administrators are white and the urban middle class value system is alien to our people." He suggested that the government supply more money for restoring native life and culture. He said that $200,000 was spent last year on the Department of Indian Affairs, most of which was paid out in salaries to white men. He also said that large enterprises that exploit the Metis, and Churches which split them, must be removed from the reservations. Answering questions, Adams said that he felt that the reserve system should be eliminated, but slowly, over time, as the older Indians are worried of losing what security they have. However, the young people will move off them and the reservations will slowly disappear. He added that the government would like to see a quick end to the reservations, as this would mean splitting up the Indians, thus weakening their power. "Elaborating on his idea for a Metis School System, Adams said that up to grade three Metis children should be taught on the reservation in their own language, _stressing th~ir own history and culture. From grade 4 to 8 they would be taught in English and would go to an ordinary highschool when they were ready. Dr. Adams stated that there are only 500,000 Indians in Canada and this in not enough to win the Indians' freedom. Therefore they .•are going to need the help of the white man. He things this help might come from the university students whose situation closely parallels that of the Indians in Canada. CUS co-op fieldvvorker visits A CUS Co-op fieldworker visited Lakehead along with other CUS personnellast week. Ron Davis, who left Simon Fraser University to take up the newly created position last November 1st, travels across Canada giving assistance to students interested in co-operative housing. Davis sees co-operative housing as cheaper living for students who cannot afford the high cost of residences, and an experience in self-government. Co-op housing also gives students a chance to get away from home. Davis describes his job as "speaking to people about co-ops and the idea of co-operative living; givmg technical assistance to groups which are trying to form co-ops; also helping with research into housing problems." The kinds of co-ops vary. Some are like residences while others are more informal with a group of students renting a house. Davis talked to a number of people in the cafeteria during his visit and also joined CUS fieldworker .

Drama Club Dear Sir: I was very sorry to read in your Feb. 6th edition, a letter from a member of the Lakehead University Drama Club which complains of the precedence given to the Cambrian Players with regard to back-stage dressing rooms and facilities and their "free and constant Can We Help You Find The Book You Need?

Just to set the record straight, I would like to point out that we have no access to facilities which are not similarly available to the students except for two small storage cupboards in which we store a few props and costumes. We have no free access to dressing rooms or other storage facilities because there are none until the additions and renovations to the University Centre are completed. As far as any committment with regard to the University Theatre is concerned, we have none at all except that we are permitted to reserve one week, three times a year, for the actual presentation of our productions. It often seems to be forgotten that we pay a comparitively large sum for this privilege, twenty percent of our gross receipts for each production. It can amount to and did last year, with the inclusion of our musical, OKLAHOMA, which ·we presented jointly with three other groups, to nearly two thousand dollars a year. As far as rehearsal time is concerned, we are permitted to use the theatre only when it has not already been booked by · • - · ·· ~n ·· :_tbe,Senate,.a~-~ ," '.

Our rehearsal periods are only booked about six weeks before the actual production when most important occasions requiring the theatre have already been arranged. In the period between the beginning of September and the end of December we had, roughly, about twelve rehearsal nights in the theatre. Since the beginning of January, we have had to date, exactly four occasions in which we have been permitted to use the theatre. We are anticipating about eight more rehearsal periods before our production of TIIE TIIREE CUCKOLDS commences of the 25th of February. We have been able to obtain two of these rehearsal. nights only because the UniDrama Club cancelled their previous bookings for them. I am sorry to be so pedantic about times and dates but I do feel it is necessary to make our position clear. I have been deeply distressed over the years that whenever a group of students get together to form a drama club, they seem to blame any difficulties they encounter on the existence of the Cambrian Players. They never discuss their problems with us and so we never get to hear of them until there is some kind of public attack. Since, I happen to have been rather intensely involved and concerned with the Lakehead University myself for the past fifteen years, I suppose I find this kind of thing particularly disturbing. I do happen to be the Artistic Director of The Cambrian Players but I also happen to be a ·student at Lakehead University. I know that my personal concern is shared by many other members of Cambrian Players who are directly connected with Lakehead University. Our executives for the 1968-69 season consists of three graduates of Lakehead University, two faculty members, one student . and three members of the cooununity at large. There are many other students and faculty amongst our general membership. It has never been our intention to in· hi bit the formation of any student drama club. On the contrary, ·we welcome such a club and have expressed a desire to assist any such group in any way that we can. There are many reasons why it is difficult to form a student drama club, the main one being thatitoften hard to find enough students who are willing and able to give the kind of time that theatre demands. We do not cons ider ourselves in competition with a student drama organization but rather as colleagues. We feel we have a place in that we can provide training and some continuity for those students, faculty and graduates who love theatre. My best wishes to the LakeStudent Drama Club for their March production. What we need in the Lakehead is not less theatre but more and better theatre.

The wins (87-78 on Friday and 81-73 on Saturday) marked the last Varsity games to be played at home this season. Richard Earl started both games in place of the injured Phil Fury. Fury suffered a back injury while the team was in Sudbury. The Nor'Westers couldn't take the lead until the clock showed only 4:00 remaining in the half, but a strong team effort yielded a 41-30 score at half. The Lumberjacks came on strong in the second half, with Wayne Pennyfeathet showing himself to be a real threat. The Lumberjacks be- -photo by Acri Willie Jerks (34) tips it in.

The game was the best of the series with both teams curling well over 70%. The Adams team consisted of Gord Moffat at third, Paul Dutton at second, and Brian MacDonald at lead.

Wayne Humphreys couldn't seem to miss on his long shots from out past the key and Dan Carroll, playing on an injured ankle, made extra effort needed to restore the Lakehead team's confidence. With only 5:00 remaining, Pero and Humphreys were racking up the baskets to give the Nor'Westers a 14 point margin. At 3:32 the ball freeze began in earnest. The last two minutes had the second string on the floor and although the Lumberjacks came within seven points of the Nor'Westers, Larry Hebert, with only seven seconds left, put the ball through the hoop to give the Lakehead team assurance of a victory. Final score 87-78, Lakehead shot 43% from the floor. Humphreys was high scorer with 29 points, followed by Willie Jerks with 22. Carroll had 13 points and led the rebounding with IO. The Lakehead team shot 65% from the foul line. For the Lumberjacks, Pennyfeather was the backbone of the team with 24 points and ten rebounds. Brown followed with 14 points and their shooting average was 40% from the floor, 62% from the line. Saturday's game promised to be exciting from the beginning but no one really knew just how exciting. The Lumberjacks set up a very tight defeµse and the Nor'Westers picked up very few points on organized offense. A fast break, liowever, proved to be the answer and through consistant playing the Nor'Westers picked up a 13 point lead. They led by ten at the half. The second half revealed many wasted shots but the real difficulty proved to be in the officiating. Unheeded fouls and bad calls led to rising tempers and things finally exploded at 12:13 of the second half. A scramble under the Have we got a deal for you • • • visitor's basket saw about five players grapping for the ball. Before anyone knew what happened, fists were flying. Dick Lee of the Lumberjacks was quit'e free with the elbows and Humphreys decided to show his disapproval. Lee was caught with a solid upper-cut on the side of the head and in a blind fury hit Carroll, who was lying face down on the floor. Carroll jumped up after Lee, who backed off, and in a matter of sec.onds both teams were all on the floor pushing and shoving. When things finally had settled down, the referees ejected Carroll and Lee from the game. Hardly a minute later, Humphreys picked up his fifth foul and he too left the floor. With Carroll and Humphreys both out, it was Pero who instilled the spirit of victory in the Nor'Westers. Pero picked up 14 points and 7 rebounds. Don Holmstrom also added valuable aid as he. made nine out of his last ten foul shots. Jerks led the scoring with 17 points, followed by Richard Earl with 15, The Nor' Westers shot 46% from the field and 57% from the line. Carroll pulled in 13 rebounds and Holmstrom handled 11, For the Lumberjacks, Pennyfeather again led the scoring with 25 points, and Brown topped the rebounding with ten. Final score 81-73, This weekend the Nor' Westers travel to Brandon, Manitoba for their final two games.

The occupation at Sir George was based on demands which were accepted by the administration's lawyers. But the faculty turned them down. That's when the police were called. And that's when the students announced they would The media played the affair as a black-white confrmtation though in reality it had been· turned to a complex student power, revolutionary action. The blacks sensed the news value was in blackness. Reporters called white students by their first names and collared them informally •• they spoke to Mr. Black and asked politely for interviews. The blacks then became blacks -- Different from anyone else. And in doing so, they were fully aware that they had been forced to. They acknowledged the individuals were not conscious racists but saw clearly that the societal ethic had forced the individuals to treat them differently from all others. Institutional racism smash computers until the police left. Analysis by Elly A Ibo im Canadian lktiversity Press Montreal (CUP) ... Reporter: "Why didn't you take the students demands seriously?" Faculty Association Executive member: "You know these West Indian students •· they exaggerate, they're expansive. And they use obscenity, but we've come to overlook that, They think differently." if it wasn't exaggeration, it was unpredictability, a term the administration at Sir George Williams University substituted for communication as its key crisis phrase. And it was precisely that state of mind that precipitated the conflict and its tragic consequences. Of course, there were immediate triggers. After two weeks of occupation, the students were betrayed in the last moments. They expected victory, were told their demands would be met and then, in the midst of the victory euphoria, were let down dramatically by a moribund faculty suddenly up with a snarl. The pent-up frustration could not be contained -- though it might have been had the police not been called. And the computers, so carefully guarded from harm by the students for 14 days, were smashed beyond repair by their meticulous guardians. They would have done their case better to withdrawquietly, losers in a wearying struggle. They had the support of the student body and might have seen their demands met after a while. But they responded to power with the only power they could muster, destruction. The anatomy of response is an intriguing problem but not very relevant. Administrative waffling Not much more relevant are the eight months of administrative waffling on the charges against Perry Anderson. The weakness and hesitancy led naturally to escalation, demands and finally occupation. That is a straight-forward process. The substantive charges against Anderson --which. now may never be explicitly defined-may or may not be valid. Racism is ~ d~ff~cult attitude to expose on the subtle mdividual level. Nuances of speech, treatment of individuals deliberate color-blindness may all be indicat~rs. It is not so much individual attitudes per se as the societal institutions that create them that are important. Pragmatically, in order to satisfactorily illustrate institutional racism, an educator would take an individual and show how he had been molded by, and was implicitly involved in, a greater societal process. That is the dramatic technique. Whether it is ethically justifiable is que~tionable. A judgement would involve balancing the relative weights of the consequences to the individual model against the possible value of an increase in sensitivity to and awareness of societal racism. . It is at best doubtful whether people, m_ the final analysis, were se~sit_i~ed to racism. There is no doubt that a sigmficant number of white students were -· they joined the occupation and talked out racism for days. They, however, would have arrived at that sensitivity on their own. An enormous number of people never looked beyond militancy and destruction. Black leader!':' may have been satisfied with the outcome, at least to a certain extent. They did manage to create a solid, militant core of blacks. Though they had little feeling for property rights, they did not want the destruction that resulted. They knew the strategical implications of damage and knew their case would be washed away in the swirl of shrill outcry. They simply lost control. There is no doubt the blacks were extremely sensitive to racism. They may have reacted too quickly, sized up situations too readily. They were of cour~e influenced by the black movement in America and the emerging one in Halifax. But all of this would not have been sufficient cause for the eruption. It was more white reaction that convinced them or racism than anything else. When people are told they're different, they become different. White radicals were one of the culpable groups. Their obsequience, hesitancy to question and debate with blacks convinced the blacks of their control. Decisions in the computing centre were almost invariable made by blacks, debate on strategy involved blacks. Whites did not participatd until they proved their worth by an independent occupation of the faculty club. BJacks handled Differently Administrators were also involved. Their continual hesitancy to act because of the "unpredictability" of blacks was disastrous. They could have handled w~i!e protest_ •· dialogue, compromise, all legitimate tactics with whites. But they made it clear from the beginning that they didn't know what to expect from the blacks and acted accordingly. The stilted politeness, retreat to downtown hotels, lack_ of connnunication all hinged on their evaluation of blacks as something Different, to be handled Differently. And they made no claim to expertise. An administration that has handled students cooly in the past suddenly lost its firm hand when dealing with black students. And the implications of that were not lost on the blacks. The faculty played its hand badly too. Teachers, perhaps the best people to sense the mood of the school, failed utterly. They were more concerned with Anderson's suspension and its implicatims to teaching security than with evaluating the political situation and making the best of it. And spokesmen kept making unfortunate evaluations of black students to the media. And, of course, there were hundreds of: "I don't care whether he's black, white, green or pink, I want the facts." Given that institutional racism had become an objective reality and was transmitted to them by various groups and individuals, they were unwilling to differentiate in any relative sense. Had they acknowledged that various individuals were blind to the manifestations of their unconscious racism but nevertheless were objective-ly less repugnant and easier to deal with than the deliberately constructed racist institutions or conscious ~acists themselves. they might have been able to work the dispute out. At that point, they could have forced many people to re-evaluate themselves and understand the conflict with the blacks. They wer.e able to work with white radicals, they may have been able to work -- though of course less effectively •• with white liberals. As the Differences piled up and the division was sharpened, the blacks, though never talking about it, began to despair. Perhaps they thought at heart the racist aspect of the situation could be explained away, that it was only surface dirt. As the occupation stretched on and they read signs calling them niggers, warning them to get back into their place, they lost hope. The overt racism coupled with the not-sq-subtle covert racism convinced them they would not Win. When the confrontation came, they had little to lose -· AS HUMAN BEINGS. The destruction was a last stutter of impotent rage. The whites involved were split. Some were radical people who tried all the while to put the affair into political perspective. The· blacks insisted they weren't interested in the "isms"•· capitalism, socialism, Marxism. They ejected one Maoist who was too vociferous. Gradually they began to create that revolutionary analysis. Some of them left before the police came, knowing they could do no good in jail. Others stayed to fight imperialism on the barricades. But many were white liberals genuinely interested in attaining justice, in creating a new Hearing Committee. They were driven to destruction because they were retrayed by people they believed would finally be reasonable -- liberal administrators and faculty. In the final analysis, it was the attitude of Difference that killed Sir George. Had this revolt been treated like any others, the tragedy \\Ould not have happened. Demands mild The demands made by the occupiers were the MILDEST made to date in the history of serious student revolt. The students simply wanted a new hearing committee, AGREEABLE TO BOIB SIDES, a demand they likened to any trial where prosecution and defense select the jury. f 1 .. d. Administrative and acu ty ngi ity came not from the unreasonableness of the demands (though of course a fair number. opposed in principle to giving in to students m any way) but rather from evaluation of the people they were dealing with. And they were incapable of dealing with blacks. Perhaps the blacks in the long run did prove their case. But everybody has paid an enormous price for that lesson. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The expansio1i..was approved in principle by the Senate Tuesday 4 March in a vote 17· 3 with several abstentions. The Board of Governors and the Department of Education still have to agree ·to the change. They are expected to do so shortly. The Board of Governors will agree because it will mean considerable expansion and probably the creation of a new faculty. The Dept. of Education will accept because they have been trying for it since 1966, when the McLeod report recommended it for Ontario. The Degree Course in Education, which still has to be announced by the University, will probably mean three years of Arts and one of teacher training. Probably it will be a separate faculty, but if not it will go under University Schools. There may be some conflict overfaculty status and wages. Teachers' College faculty normally have lower academic standing, but as Provincial Civil Servants, are paid slightly higher. Salaries at L.U. start at about $8,600. At Teacher's College they b 11;in 0 $12,000. L.U. faculty are currently negotiating for higher wages. If the takeover is successful other Universities are expected to follow suit. Universities and Teachers' Colleges in St. Catherines, Ottawa and Sudbury are watching Lakehead's progress. At present plans call only for Primary School Teachers to be part of the program, but if the Secondary School Teachers are brought in - as is quite likely - Lakehead will be the al first campus in Canada to do so. There· are 13 Teachers' Colleges in Ontario and the McLeod report recommended that all become part of a UnivPrsi ty. It strongly criticize,d the r,1ebenL bi "'tem of allowing Grade 13 students with one year of Teachers' College to teach Grade School. For many years in Ontario there has been a shortage of teachers, so little has been done about improving the quality of Grade School Teachers. This year Education Minister William Davis announced the shortage was over. Both Dr. Tamblyn and Mr. West, Principal of Lakehead Teachers' College, were unavailable for comment. Two councillors were reelected and two ARGUS staffers won seats in last Friday's AMS Council elections. Winter Cami val Queen Donna Pace topped the Arts pole with 205 votes. ARGUS editor Ron Baker was second with 194 and Simon Hoad another ARGUS staffer, followed close with 193. Hoad was followed by Ken Boshcoff and Mike Gravelle, who were running for reelection, with 178 and 165 votes respectively. Val Dennison, who worked on LUST this year, gained the last Arts seat with 158 votes. John MacGregor came five votes -short with 153. Doug Smart was next with 141 while Ray Hunt polled 135. Kumar Kwatra, Mike Metherelle and Robert MacLeod drew 123, 115, and51 votes respectively. In University Schools, Albert Au topped the polls \; h 21:) rntes. Sharon Weller and Darlene Cymbalisty followed with 155 and 122. John Drew won the last University Schools seat with 115 votes. Jack Tallon lost out by ten votes, polling 105. Janet Hamer, running for re-election came next with 88, and Dave Snell drew 78 votes. A poor turnout in Science gave John Paddington the sole Science seat. Paddington beat Judy Pearson by 39-26 vote. Tom Fry won the election for SAS President, defeating a Arts Faculty opens meetings In a meeting on March 3, the Arts Faculty voted to open its meetings to student observers. At the moment the faculty has no legally defined powers. Its role within the university is limited to general inter-departmental discussions and recommendations to more authoritative bodies. It is the general hope among faculty and students that openness might lead to effective student representation at these meetings. Towards the concept of students having a say in the things that affect their lives, the next step might well be openning the Senate. Students have been offered seats on the Senate, but have declined while the Senate continues to hold dosed meetings. Ron Hiller 257 to 149.

One of the most famous and controversial contemporary American poets, Ginsberg will conduct a poetry reading at the Field House on Friday March 14 at 8 p.m. (Tickets $1 at the door). Incense, electronic music and s ubdued lighting will provide the appropriate atmosphere for the reading. Ginsberg will present his poetry from a central, raised platform covered with oriental rugs. The audience will be seated around him on the floor and in the bleachers. The gregarious, 43-year-old poet has become a public figure because of his outspoken criticism of American society. His campaigns for civil rights, his stand against the war in Vietnam and his efforts to have marijuana legalized have thrust him into public eye as a spokesman for contro_versial and unpopular causes. Ginsberg's works, an extensive body of poetry and essays, have been translated into eight languages, including Japanese and Hindu. Three complete volumes of his poetry have been released in the United States. Noted fool receives standing ovation at L.U. by Simon Hoad The Lakehead was treated to a fool's eye view of the world Friday evening by a noted fool, Malcolm Muggeridge. With ever-present wit, speaking without notes, he captivated an overflow audience with his performance and won a standing ovation. Within his mind's eye (fool's eye?) Muggerridge must have been well pleased. Four hundred people giving a standing ovation for a whipped cream presentation. Weightier matters must not be dealt witli, for the audience wouldn't understand. As a mesmerized crowd we jumped through his hoops, shared the vicarious thrill of seeing semi-sacred cows roundly thrashed, without examining the semi-sacred role of the public speaker. We did not turn a fool's eye view at Muggerridge or at ourselves as an audience. Surely, as an educated man he must have chuckled inside. For the price of sharing small insights we ·missed the bigger- ones. For a fool's eye view a sense of perspective is needed. Man must see himself measured not against the pomposities of his fellow idiots but in relation to the span of eternity. ·A short stumble as a bare-footed creature is all that is man's life. Within this perspective laughter at man's pretensions of grandeur is the salvation as well as the only human resource we possess. Between the height of our expectations and the middling range of our achievements we find ourselves. Laughter is the measure of the distance between the two. Muggerridge has seen this fact clearly. He is amused at himself. We, catching part of the vision, laughed at men, not ourselves, for we are still blind. And we gave a standing ovation to that charlatan on stage. - �argus, march 13, 1969, page 2 Regina fees fight ends This week THURSDAY,MARCH13 Spanish Dancing - Room 1006 - 9 p.m. FRIDAY, MARCH 14 AMS Judicial Committee Meeting - Board Room - 1 p.m. International Students Organization Annual Executive Election - Room 1029 - 3:30 p.m. Lakehead Chess Ass'n Banquet and Dance - Great Hall 6 p.m. Contemporary American Poet - Allan Ginsberg - Field House - 8 p.m. SATURDAY, MARCH15 Forestry Seminar - Auditorium - I p.m. Forestry Dinner - Great Hall - 5:30 p.m. MONDAY, MARCH 17 The Jewish Chautaugua Society - with Rabbi Hamburger Auditorium - 7 p.m. TUESDAY, MARCH 18 Adult Club Meeting - Room 1024 - 2:30 p.m. P.A.

Dial 344-1743 #Pll'WAY/NG at 1:00 - s:10 REGINA (CUP) -- The fee collection conflict at the University of Saskatchewan ended Wednesday night when the board of governors finally agreed to student demands that it continue to collect student union fees at source. The agreement, reached between student council and board negotiators, was ratified by general meeting of students Thursday and was expected to be ratified quickly at a board meeting Thursday night. The conflict began Dec. 31 when the board announced it would no longer collect union fees in a fairly obvious attempt to throttle its major campus antagonist, the student newspaper, The Carillon. Ever since then, students have demanded the board recant and leave The Carillon alone and slowly built up general student support for that position. The negotiations staggered on for over six weeks as the board waited for student pressure to subside. The negotiations themselves kept stumbling over various issues -- at first the question of openness but later the major problem of The Carillon. The student negotiators were adamant throughout that The Carillon be independent of the university administration and directed solely by the students. The Carillon has repeatedlyproved a major source of embarrassment to the board and the provincial government. The agreement that the administration will collect student union fees will be in effect for one year and will continue each year unless either party gives notice of cancellation by March I. Each year a majority of students must approve the fees. In an attempt to avoid further confrontation between the board and students, the parties agreed to set up a liaison committee to deal generally with all matters of common interest. The committee will be composed of five representatives of the board and twelve student representatives. It will meet at least twice · a semester and report back to the parent bodies. And this liaison committee will handle all disputes involving The Carillon. The Carillon, it was agreed in the negotiations, will adhere to the Code of Ethics set by the Canadian University Press. Any grievance against The Carillon with respect to performance under the code will be dealt with by the liaison committee. The s(udent victory at the bargaining table was a clear vindication of the student strategy to involve the mass of students and the community in the dispute. All decisions were made in large open meetings and abided with by student leaders. The Saskatchewan community was continually informed on the situation and £re e t all d on fur su - port. The administrati~n gave up when it became apparent there would be no violent action by the students to prejudice their case and when it was obvious that the general mass of students would not snpport the administration in its bid to destroy the stusupport the administration in its bid to destroy the student union and The Carillon. Inflamatory speeches in the provincial legislature and by Premier Ross Thatcher did not help the administration either. This week's election -- in a large turnout of strongly pro-union student leaders convinced the board they couldn't win. In a similar situation last year, McGill University's principal H. Rocke Robertson stopped plans to discontinue fee collection for the student council when he also was confronted with a student show of solidarit a ainst his ro osal. ~:I l Chartered flight to Hong Kong Overseas students at Bishop's University are organizing a return chartered flight from Montreal to Hong Kong via San Francisco this summer.

If you guessed all of these, you are half-way there. Where? to allowing groups to help themselves, and not be dependent upon outside sources. You must allow and aid the building of independence, and freedom, whether of one individual, one group, one race or one nation. This was the sentiment of panels throughout the WUS International Week of Concern. It culminated in last Friday's discussion of poverty in Northwestern Ontario. About eighty people were physically there, but only half brought their minds. Ken Dawson, Department of Anthropology, status within our own country. "We need a regional government 1 to develop a policy with our people, to stop our lands being used as the private preserve of outsiders who at whim harvest the resources." The poor communication system of Northern Ontario easily reinforces our sense of isolation. Commercial broadcasting and news services continually look inward into the area, creating a static atmosphere, isolated from any real links with the outside world. This is perpetu• ated by the power structure in the Lakehead, which is similar to a family compact. There is no ownership of primary or secondary industry in the area. In fact there is no secondary industry • Why not? Because of the nature of our industry, workers must be mobile, seasonal, or subject to dislocation. Young people find it easy to leave. Those who stay become public charges, in the Buddy Sault, from the CYC applied this to the Indian people. "You cannot help us. There is no way that you can help us. "Your white brothers have brought in people from the East. That is like sending me to Finland to work with the Finns • I don't know their ways and they don't know ours." It is not for the white man to help the Indian with what the white man has labelled The Indian Problem. It is for the white man to destroy the obstacles which prevent the native people from working out their own solutions. The white man must allow the native people freedom to develop in a way which they themselves define. It is not for the middle class person to administer doles of Aspirinized social welfare cheques. It is for the middle class person to help the poverty-stricken of Northern Ontario to organize themselves into meaningful attion grows _where are the solut·1ons7 outlined historically why poverty and flourishes in Northern Ontario:stillman no longer adapts himself to nature; instead, out· side "experts" have come in, and keep coming in, to extract our natural resources, foisting an unnatural alien dependence on outsiders rather than on ourselves. Millie Fiorito, of the Company of Y rung Canadians, further explained this. The MidCanada Corridor proposes that all of them in Southern Canada shall "gird their loins and stiffen their spines and mpve up to the north." The development is a tremendous drive forextracting and denuding the land for the sake of profit. No mention is made of the attitudes of the present inhahitants of the North • us. The other latest development of the power structures that be is the Crown Corporation, set up to decide what is going to happen to us. It will "make life better first for southerners, then for us." Need Regional Government "The economics of Canada are designed for the southern Ontario industrial complex," stated Dawson. This creates in us a sense of colonial government sense, and also in the sense that their work is meaningless and becomes a strug• gle for sheer existence in the life-style imposed by the bureaucratic shirts-and-ties in those faraway megalopoli. Dale Torrie, a former social worker ~ith the Children's Aid Society, denounced the present set-up of all social welfare agencies. They perpetuate existing problems by helping the individual to cope with his 'difficulties, rather than encouraging the individual to see the underlying causes of why his problems •exist, and enabling him to alleviate these root causes. ''Too many social workers are afraid to make waves. ·They are do-gooders who have little real use." Band-aids, or a welfare state, ar.e__n_o solution to a people who are impoverished and cannot help themselves. groups which can confront the outsiders about their own problems. Define own struggles Where does this leave the average, white mi.ddle class students? It is necessary for students at this university to define their own struggles, and, working side-by-side, and handin-hand, with other oppressed groups, confront the common enemy which imposes itself on us. The canmon enemy is the foreign owners of industry and education. Suddenly it was 5:30, and because someone (?) had decided that when this time came, the session ·was over, those who had left their minds stowed in their lockers, moved en masse to the exits. The others, who were beginning to learn and to dialogue, questionned the ar• bitrary power that refused to allow a real learn• ing experience to continue. But they left too. The Cultural Revolution in China Last week fifty people listened to Ray Wylie, a Canadian who spent two years in China as an English instructor, speak on "The Cultural Revolution In China." The talk was part of the program for International Week of Concern organized by the local committee of the World University Service Committee. Wylie first pointed out three important aspects of the revolution: • -Intellectual independence from European bourgeoise and Soviet communism. •Mao Tse-tung as the only true heir to Marx, Lennin and Stalin. •China reassured to be a peasant orientated country. He went on to compare the type of communism in China under Mao Tse-tung with that in Russia. He illustrated that Mao is attempting to reconstruct the social system of China into a purer form of communism based on the original principles of Marx, Lennin and Stalin. Mao feels the most important goal in China is to build a strong social country, not necessarily an Utopia, but a country for the people themselves. This explains why the present Red Army was able to defeat the previous Kuomintang Army. The Red Army knew how and why to fight. Within the army there is no rank or privileges. The men live and work with the people. Lin Piao, Mao's possible successor, emphasizes political education along Mao's principles in the army. To bring this out, Wylie repeated the words of Marshall Lin: • "Let the whole army become a school of Mao". After the lecture the floor was opened to discussion. In answer to the question whether Mao Tse-tung had won the cultural revolution, Wylie answered in the affirmative and went on to point out many positive achievements in communist China since Mao's take over in 1949. Asked about the population and birth control situation in China, he said the present population of 750 million in China is increasing at a rate of 1.5 million per year. Birth control is on a voluntary basis. He ended the meeting by saying "China is now moving into world politics. There is no doubt that she has a lot that can be contributed to all the nations of the world. Following Wylie's discussion there was a film of Dr. Paul Lin, a Canadian born Chinese professor at McGill, speaking of China today in relation to the rest of the world. Dr. Lin pointed out that it is now necessary to recognize China as a world power. Asked about the possibility of atomic threats to the Western World by the present Chinese regime, he answered that the Chinese are peace loving and would not attack any country unless first threatened. He pointed out that the building of atomic armament in China is purely defensive. Dr. Lin feels the Chinese people are enjoying more freedom under communistic rule than ever before. They are enjoying a freedom of criticizing government officials, equality of all classes, equal distribution of labour and wages as well as freedom of speech to a certain extent. Dr. Lin also described the Chinese form of democracy in the communes. He said that in the communes, the discussion preceding a vote is most important. The people get very much involved in the issues and eventually one candidate for election becomes the obvious choice. Often his opponents drop out before the vote is taken. Dr. Lin said this often gives Westerners a picture of totalitarianism, Chairman Mao �the end This is the end for another year. This is the time the ARGUS staffers crawl out of the ·si-n bin and into the library to try to catch up on the studying the rest of you have been doing all year (theoretically). But perhaps we've learned something from working on the ARGUS. And perhaps you've learned something from reading it. If so, our tame wasn't wasted. The ARGUS is indebted to a11 the staff who gave so much of their time to put it together, the many students (and even some administrators) who turned in copy unasked and Guide Publishers, who managed to get every issue here on time and in good shape. It has been a quiet year for Lakehead, compared to some other universities in Canada. We hope we have kept you informed with major student news. We hope we will be able to dig deeper next year. To this end, we hope more students will participate in the ARGUS next year, for the ARGUS is a student paper, and we are far from being a clique. There is about an 80% turnover of staff each year, and very few staffers know one another before meeting at the office. ..

In this letter l wish to thank . all the organizations, speakers and students who participated and helped to make the week (in my esti• mation) a worthwhile project. To the few people who gave much of their time to the making of posters, and to the publicizing of the week, I do hones tly say "i t was a job well done." The above things were made possible; despite the fac t that the ARGUS played down the week as much as possible; despite the fact that our posters which· were stuck up i n the main cafeteria, in advertently fell to the ground, (I may add here a political pos ter was placed up instead) despite the fact that the black· board which was always in front of the Un iversityTheatre mysteriously disappeared on Monday morning, only to re• appear on Thursday to be used by another club. The propaganda machine that was initiated by a hand· ful of so-called "straight people", to smear WUS as being a radical movement which is existing for the mere sake of creating trouble, culminated to the grave:;,t proportions during the Week of Concern. As a passing comment I can only say that I will rather associate with the few "hippies" or "yippies" or whatever name you wish to call those members of WUS who are very sincere in their convictions, rather than be caught up in the web of hypocrisy that exists in the circle of some of these "straight" people. If during the Week of CQn• cern, we were able to initiate dialogue, so that people could be more aware of existing con • ditions the world over, then the time that was spent to make such a week possible would not have been wasted. Sincerely, Khalid Ali ( Chairman of WU S) Editor's Note: The time was not wasted. We are sorry you feel the ARGUS •·played down" the Congrats Dear Sir: Please allow me to take this opportunity to congratulate you on your recent elect• ion to die AMS Council.

Also, the week before International Week, we did not publish a paper, due to reading week. Massive coverage two weeks 'n advance would have been wasted. Student cafeteria Dear People: Got compl aints about the quality of food in the campus cafeteria? Why not operate it your• self? According to Bob Glide, former cafeteria manager, profits in the 1967-68 season were in excess of .$17,000; all of which went to Versa-foods. Why should this profit not go to a student oriented and organized body? Student labour could be employed on a full or part time basis. Then we would have no one to com• plain to but ourselves. If the AMS is not willing to do this the SDU is. It has made sufficient studies to determine that student takeover of this cafeteria is econ· omically feasible. What do your think? What do you want? Should students be allowed to run their own cafeteria? sou. �r i...· - - Marines called to Fakehead University About 12,000 American marines were rushed to Fake• head last night to quell a violent student uprising at the university. The trouble began when several students violently rose from their seats and questioned their professor in a Sociology class. The pro· fessor complained to the administration, who set. up a committee to look into the alleged outbreak of thinking. Three students disagreed with the committee's term of reference, and after three week's failure to change the committee, occupied a broom closet. "But we'll make a clean sweep of them," commented President Tam Lynn, "F,U, administration will not stand for such violent 'disruption of the uni ver si ty." Several students occupied amen's washroomin sympathy with the closeted three, but the marines quickly flushed them out. • Before calling in the ltlar• ines, F .u. administration indicated the three students might be armed to the teeth, could have connections with inttrnational communism, and might be agents of the yellow peril. The administratim report said no one knew if the stu· dents had poison gas or other unknown communist superweapons. No on~ could prove for certain that bacterial agents could not be ·brought in, or that unknown earthquakemakers could not spill Fakehead into the lake. The report stressed that the administration had no concrete indications of violence, had tried every means of reasoning with the students but was forced into calling in the marines to avoid violence. Rumour has it that the students have- heavy cannon. But fortunately the marines are prepared with howitzers to level the area around the closet before going in. Folly Lake .Bridge ·u nder construction Administration committee studying outbreak of thinking at Fakehead University. A Report was given out to• day on the progress of the Folly Lake Bridge. President Tam Lynn announced that the -work force had reached a total of plus 2,000labourers, some of whom are only capable of working part time. The Folly Lake Bridge is designed to span the wide blue expanse of Folly Lake from side to side. Feasibility studies indicated that the most economi- cal method of spanning the distance was to have the bridge built across the lake. Construction was first de• layed until the foundations had been dug by hand, a tradition at Fakehead University. The plastic and chrome design was chosen in a con• test promoted by the AMS, Structural difficulties are anticipated in placing the centre pylons. Folly Lake is only seven inches deep. Where the news happens, the aarl'gg is Whenever the news happens, that's where the AARRGG is. Last night it was happening at the heart of the greatest maze of engineering and architectu· ral genius in the history of mankind and Fake• head University •· the new cafeteria complexity, cum companion monstrosity to the newly completed Sentorial Building. Leader of the safari into the deepest tamed wilds of the hitherto-untravelled-by-student-feet maze, Tim Timorous, said the maze was simply amazing. . "The maze was simply amazing", said Tim. He went on to comment on the overwhelming accumulation on all manner of accessories, like bicycle chains, copper piping, and dust. ''There is an overwhelming accumulation of all manner of accessories", he said, "Including bicycle chains, copper piping, and dust." Another member of the expedition, Willi otherwise known as Willi or by her friends as Spud, went to Great Lengths in describing the great qualities of grey dust. When questioned by the AARRGG on her experiences during the whirl wind tour of the thing, she went to Great Lengths (who was also on the expedition) who concurred with her judgement that the qualities of the quantities qualitatively could qualify for the classification as grey dust, although he would rather call it greyish dust, "I would rather call it greyish dust,., he said. Great Lengths, a distant relative of Grate Lakes, noted primarily for his nauseous odour, had little else to say about what transpired between the time the team trooped from the AARRGG underground office into the unknown, sort.of like a bad TV commercial, or worse, like a bad TV series. '~ARRGG", he said The fact-finding team discovered, among other things, staircases which led to other staircases, ~taircases which led to big hples which dropped the team back to the bottom of the staircases, staircases which led to upstairs and staircases which led to downstairs. "I believe that life is all about things like that, and sundry ~ther relevent and unrelated mortals that gluinp and flurb up down and around wifflewump", said Grate Lakes, when questioned about an unrelated item, but that's alright, anyway, sort of. Copper piping 1ying on the floor of what could be an underground cafeteria, but which also could be the home for FU's new collection of copper piping, was especially well-noted by the expeditionary force. "We could take that and sell it to a scrap metal dealer", said the leader, who did not actually see the goods, "And make. a profit on a minimum of expended energy, or manhours.'' But on third thought, the piping was six feet long and the doors were only three feet wide, so the crew couldn't get it out, at least not un• til morning when the workers came in, and the .force could borrow their hacksaws, but it was a F-riday night and the workers had the weekend off, so th·a t would mean staying there to make sure no one stole the loot until Monday at least, or maybe Tuesday, because maybe the workers didn't even get that far into the interior of the thing until Tuesday, because it takes them just about a whole day to get back out again, once they get in, and besides there was no food for the girl member of the expedition, and she had to make it back to the inhabited areas of the University before her next. class so she could make a point of skipping it, for she even had a bicycle on which to place the bicycle chains found in the deserted, under-construction-looking place of wonder and awe, where the toilets aren' t even hooked up, and the holes go from one floor to another, and things like that, so they came back because everyone does sooner or sooner. But as they struck another match to see where they weren't going. they suddenly and in a spark of light realized that the workmen would not be in on Monday, nor on Tuesday, at least not at the rate the strike was being settled, so they sat down on the dust which surpasses all description and proceeded to describe it. "I think such a word as 'it' should be better defined", said Great Lengths. "Yes, but I think first you should be better defined." said the leader, who no one on the the expedition, if you will allow the use of that term, had decided who it was. So they sat on the something which sure looked and smelled and felt like grey dust, and tried to define a Great Length. "Seven inches", said the leader, who thought he was leader. "Maybe even ten inches", said another echo. cont'd, over I-' �I • aarrgg news continued I Where the news happens, the aarrgg is. . . this is copper tubing. But since no one could decide who the echo supposed to be used at all, since it only went came from, they decided to drop the whole to nothing, in the roof, from which you could see manner, and there he sat, in the middle of the all the sailboats on the mind's lake, with a great dust stuff, but we've been there before. big F.U. on all the masts and smoke stacks So on they walked and stumbled in ,the and sailes tosignify--well, yes that's it, hut they match-light, matchless in its ability to illumi• couldn't very well get back after they had gone nate nothing but its own handle, but it can't that far, so they looked fOl' fOl'wards steps and really be called a handle, since a match only followed them backwards, or rather they backed has a long neck, and it burns too, and bends the fors stepping · lookwards, no, in forwarding sometimes.

That is the name of the AMS (Alma Mater Society or students union) gave to what is really registration time. And that is how the AMS started off for most students-· little or no significance at all. However, in retrospect orientation did make a start considering the number of people available to work on it. Out-going AMS President Peter McCormack's suggestion of starting now on orientation and the possibility of hiring an orientation chairman for part of the summer might bring more results. The next issue where stu• dents met the AMS Council was the Bus Issue--that memorialday in the auditorium with the students rejecting the council's plan--and then the confidence vote. But the bus service did improve . in the end. The, original push came from outside the council, and much of the work was done by stu· dents other than councillors, but student participation is what we want. As Peter McCormack said in his annual report, "The Bus Issue is a bad memory, although it is the issue this year which produced satisfactory results." Speaking of transportation problems there was also the parking issue. This arose when the administration suggested that students be fined for improper parking. Several sturealized that they were paying a large part of the ~ost for attendants to keep students out of the faculty and administration lots. The idea of democratization of the parking lots came to mind and a committee was formed to implement the same. Among the actions of this committee was a petition with nearly 1000 signatures. However, this issue got lost somewhere between the University Committee, the Faculty Association, the administration and winter. cus Then also the CUS (Canadian Union of Students) issue required some political thought and time from Council. How difficult political discussion was for them. They started by deciding we needed a referendum. Before this could be held, however, they launched a debate of the resolutions of the Guelph Congress. A special Sunday afternoon meeting was called for this puq>ose, during which elitism and a grandiose plan to study this was debated but no reso• lutions were dealt with. Then Council tried again, this time allotting part of each regular meeting to the task. The Declaration of the Canadian Student was accepted but the resolutions based on it received a rather inconsistent response from council. This attitude, on the part of Council in general, brought about the resignations of four of the more politically minded councillors. Out of these resignations came Town Hall, This is a . valuable concept and should be used in future to keep Council in touch with the students and to debate important issues. However, Town Hall got ~gged down in structural red tape and faded into nothing. Poverty in the West Indies by Keith Clarke Poverty in the West Indies was the topic Thursday during the World University Service Committee's Week of Concern. A panel of West Indian students discussed the poverty situation in their own countries and what could be done about it. Curtis Mc Sween outlined the poverty conditions in Trinidad as less severe than in most of the other islands, due to Trinidad's oil resources. "Actually poverty in the West Indies, explaiµed from a historical point ·of view, is one of colonialism where the greatest part of the profits are exported from the island. There fore the native people have no chance to make use of these profits." Michael Brown said of St. Vincent that slaves brought from Africa to work the plantations constitute the bulk of the peasants who remain very poor, unable to buy adequate supplies of food. ◄ 'There is no free secondary education in St. Vincent. Most parents cannot afford to educate their children past the primary level and the higher educations go to children mainly in the upper class." "There is a great deal of political exploitation of the electorate, which consists mainly of the lower class, and nothing is done to alleviate their poverty." George Goodwin said Antigua has recently suffered from severe droughts which caused much damage to the banana crops. He noted that Antigua is a very "Americanized" is• land with mostly American in· vestments and industries. "Antigua is reputed to be one of "the most beautiful islands in the West Indies. Thus the government is exploiting tourism which is cutting down the labor force, and those experienced with working the land are out of work and must emmigrate to other islands." Winston Rennie, chairman of the discussion, pointed out held around Chi;istmas or that a U.N. report described Carnival time when they want Trinidad as having one of the the people to have lots of highest economic growths in money. "The American government the world. He asked the panel to reconcile this growth with is afraid of the islands becoming Socialist states with the po"erty ·situation.

"Most of the money," he said would lose their huge profits.)

''In Trinidad the workers black man learns a higher job, are denied the right to strike, and is ready for advancement, thus eliminating any chance a white man is brought in fo of gaining a greater share of take the job. Often the black man must teach the white man these profits and perpetuating the job first. their poverty." Angela Winchester attacked Rennie added, "An overthe churches and the schools seas company can set up an industry in Trinidad tax-free in the West Indies for helping for five years.

"This," added Rennie, government designs crash building programs such as "will be our job when we go roads and bridges. These are home to our countries." With the beginning of Town Hall, Council passed off the CUS resolutions to it. They remained for the rest of the year unfinished. However, the referendum was held and LU remains in CUS. The AMS Council also played what has come to be known across Canada as the Chief Justice game. The first LU match in this game featured Rene Larson who was asked to resign because his competence was questioned despite the fact that a special committee could find no in· competence on .his part. The charges followed Larson's firing of Prosecutor Art Looye and Looye's charge that it was the Judicial ·committee and not him that should go for incompetence. Then after the Christmas break, Council got to play the game again--this time with Mike Barkwell, following his exam week escapade in the lower cafeteria. Barkwell came off better than Larson, being· able to weather the storm. He remains Chief Justice until the new executive makes its appointments. As McCormack said in his annual report this committee "could justifiably be called a farce upon general reflection of the extraordinary number of persons who came and went." The second match in the Justice game also focused on some interesting procedural matters in -the Council meet• ings. The problem .was· partly that the Chairman was someone other than the AMS President, not even a councillor, Council with the assistance of this chairman had engaged in some fancy footwork that was of questionable legality, but they finally readjusted to conform somewhat more to their own rules, and the President resumed the chair. Now we turn to an issue that has been with Council all year--the Senate. Early in the fall Council presented a brief asking for representation on the Senate sub-committees and openness in the Senate. In October the Senate responded with the offer of Senate sub-committee positions and the offer of three student seats on the 30-odd member Senate, but no open ness. Council appointed the representatives to the subcommittee after asking for nominations from the student body. A footnote to Subcommittees is a comment made by McCormack in his report, "Either there have been few meetings or else we have not received notice of them." Senate Openness Council rejected the offer of student seats on Senate because of their policy of not sitting on boards with closed nie·e tings. The Senate has not made any moves since. The issue has been brought periodically for discussion in Council, once on the request of_ President Tamblyn, only to be shelved again. Dennis Wallace, the new AMS President, is preparing a new brief on Senate openness and representation. However, at present the Senate remains closed and without students. It is one of the few in Canada without student Senatas and seems reluctant to join the list with open meetings. (at least 17 across Canada.) We now have a new exe• cutive and eleven councillors, One wonders what kind of political discussions will be carried on by this Council, who will .resign, . if anyone, whether students one year from now will be more involved in academic decision making than now because of Council's actions.

Our economic system must create men who fit its needs; men who cooperate smoothly; men who want to consume more and more. Our system must create men whose tastes are standardi7ed, men who can be easily influenced. men whose needs can be anticipated. Our system needs men who feel free and independent but who are nevertheless willing to do what is expected of them. men • ' who will fit into the social machine without friction, who can be guided without force, who can be led without leaders. and who can be directed without any aim except the one to "make good " It is not that authority has disappeared. nor even that it has lost in strength, but that it has been transformed from the overt authority of force to the anonymous authority of persuasion and suggestion. In other words. in order to be adaptable, modern man is obliged to nourish the illusion that everything is done with his consent. even though such consent be extracted from him by subtle manipulation.

The six portables are there in the spirit of expansionist art, as a result of the admission of an additional one- hundred students to the Bachelor of Education Program. The additional one hundred spaces create a new ceiling where formerly there were up to 2,600 students competing for 150 places in the one year Bachelor of Education Program. The expansion comes at a time when, according to Dr. R.W. McLeod, Dean of Education, ''The province is going from a surplus situation to one of a teacher shortage". There is already a teachers shortage in Southern Ontario, especially within the Separate School System which has expanded due to recent funding by the provincial government. A need for teachers also exists in Northwestern Ontario in the area of specialized education. The simple fact remains that the teaching staff across the province is aging. As large numbers of teachers retire, more teachers are re- quired to take their places. Dean- McLeod said that several teachers are likely to move out of the educational system this year due to the closing of a ministry retirement window. These teachers will be required to leave by June in order to take advantage of an early retirement without penalty. The Ministry of Colleges and Universities has provided for the necessary expansion in the form of an access fund. According to Fred Poulter, Vice-President of Administration, the fund was meant as a temporary measure to handle the expected bulge in enrolment with the OACs, until the bulge is gone. The resultant expansion of the Education Department has affected both human and physical resources. No new permi!nent staff have been added to the Education Department to accommodate the increase in students. Instead, new staff members have term appointments. Appointments may be extended once it is determined that a continuing need exists. Among the term appointments is the new Field Experience Coordinator, Mrs. . Helen Prodanyk. Hers is a three year term appointment. Dr. James Ryan and Dr. James Haines have two year term appointments and will instruct respectively in the areas of Educational Administration and Educational Psychology. Professor Robert Welsh is on a two year secondment from the Lakehead Board of Education, lending his expertise to the area of Elementary Curriculum and Evaluation. Secondary Curriculum and Evaluation will be taught by Mr. James Carter who has a one year appointment. Portables were bought to . accommodate spacing problems due to the increase in enrolment. The purchase price of the portables was included in the $199,000 access grant made available to the University by the Ministry. In addition to the temporary nature of the assistance provided by the grant, there was a time element to consider. This resulted in the purchase of the six portables ready and available from the Lakehead District Catholic· School Board. Considerable alterations have been made to the portables; as well a considerable amount of thought has gone into. their placement. The two portables providing in- One thing's for sure, you can't say that P.am Christie doesn' t get involved. Christie, a second year Political Studies major here at LU, is a founding member of the citywide S.A.O.D. (Students Against Drunk Driving) organization, an instructor with the Red Cross, a volunteer with the Addiction Research Foundation and president of the Young Liberals. Christie was also elected as a co-ordinator for both the Ontario Young Liberals board and the Ontario Liberal Party Executive Board. She serves as a liason between the area ridings and the senior party organization in Toronto. With such an active involvement in community and regional affairs, it comes as no surprise to hear that she is planning to run for a position of trustee on the Lakehead Board of Education in the November 14 elections. Christie said she was prompted to run out of a deep concern for the educational system and what students are being taught in the system. She feels -strongly that stu- dents need to be adequately prepared for the fut_ure. "I want to make sure that everyone who graduates from the Lake head Board ...can go onto university or college or even onto the workforce, if they decide to do that, with a sense they have accomplished something and they know what's going on," Christie said. "And also, I want to make sure that the board is fiscally responsible," she added. Christie said she has been looking at running for the school board for quite some •time now and has been familiarizing herself with the duties of a trustee. "I'm going over to the board office to talk to some people who are involved and I've spoken to a couple of past board members just to find out how much time is involved," Christie explained. "I've also spoken to the Minister of Education and casually inquired about things," she added. Christie admits that she has never personally attended a board meeting but she has read a lot of the information sent out by the provincial ministry concern- ..

The portables housing faculty offices and administration to the Native Language Instructional Program have access to coinciding facilities within the main building. The portable located off the Student Lounge will serve the needs of the graduate students. Sessiona l instructors also have their own portable. As the portables are only a temporary solution, Dean McLeod said that he hoped a permanent structure would be built to accommodate the expansion. Vice-President Poulter said that the University had applied to the Ministry for a new education building in the past three years, but had yet been unsuccessful. However, with a new bid in the works, ,the portables on the lawn may just satisfy the Ministry that the need for a new building does exist. a Power Plant Fire Student Profile: Pam Christie by George Krebs Increased enrollment forces School of Education to seek shelter. Photo by Duncan W•ll•r by George Krebs Christle hopes to make a difference In education. ing school reform and standardized testing. Christie doesn't seem to be worried about the demands the job of a trustee will place on her if she is elected. Although she is a full-time student at LU, she believes her class schedule will allow her enough time to serve on the board. She will make it her part-time job. "Well, a lot of people who are running now have fulltime jobs and also have a family at home," Christie said. "Other people have managed it with far busier schedules than myself." Christie will also have to deal with the question of experience. She is nineteen years old, having just graduated from Port Arthur Collegiate High School in 1987. However, she does not see her age as a disadvantage. "I haven't had any negative comments yet about my age. I say that I have twelve A fire in the university power pJant caused more than $60,000 damage, but the power plant will be operating as normal. The August 25 fire was caused by a malfunction of the switch, according to Arthur Davies, Director of the Physical Plant. When the operator turned off the switch, a surge of power went through it, burning the flammable parts and producing a lot of smoke. Davies estimated the damage to be ''between sixty and one hundred thousand dollars." He added that only electrical repairs are necessary and that there was no building damage. The power plant, adjacent to the Centennial Building, receives all the electricity for the campus, generates steam and controls the air condjtioning system. The fire has left two units out of commission and repairs will take four to five months. However, Davies assures that "everything' s back to normal." Davies maintains that the fire was not the result of faulty equipment because the switch was inspected and cleaned only two months ago. The power plant is equipped with heat detectors; however, Davies said that the opera tor immediately phoned in the fire to security, which called the fire department. a years experience on the board-in education," Christie said. She adds, "The system is fresh in my mind. My brother is still in the school system and ... I have friends in the school system. I probably have a little different perspective of how the education system works." Christie has expressed concern about the Action Team running in the next election. She feels that candidates should run as individuals and that by joining a team a person is being "unfair to themselves". Christie said that members of the Action Team, if elected, might "feel obligated to go with the rest of the team instead of speaking out on your own interests." Pam Christie will announce her candidacy for the Lakehead Board on September 7, after which her campaign will get fully under way. c 15 September,' f98'8'•tfte'Argus:.f»cige5 ., �President's Report Orientation Fever EDITORIAL I know that editorials are g~nera~ly used t<? critic_ize things about our environment winch give our hfe pam (speed bumps, for example) but this article is not going to be like that. Instead, I would like to talk about the positive atmosphere on campus at the beginning of this fall. Last year, things were not great -- the professors and administration were deadlocked in a strike, affecting the Winter Carnival, and almost eliminating Study Break and/ or two weeks of student work time in the summer. Student politics were a sham, and the Argus was considered as worse. All around, there were not very many happy campers. This year, everyone' attitude seems to be very different. For example, LUSU and the LU administration are working together on many projects, and each is keeping the the other informed of general happenings. There is actually communication! The attitude within LUSU has drastically changed, too. The Executive held meetings at least once every two weeks this summer; these meetinss often went three and four hours in length. Many projects were started this that will be continued during the year, and some were even wrapped up before September start~. The attitudes of Corrine, David, Lorri Randy, and the leadership of Roch, show that a lot should get done for the students this year. The progress in the Study (under the supervision of Bruce Graham) is proof of this. .h h . . Argus has also improved its relations wit t f" university in general. Katherine Sheddon of the Agora, ~he administration newspaper, and Argus ha:ve been exchanging ideas, stories and photos, and a lot of support. T~e Nor'wester, which is published by Alumni, has also been in contact with Argus. Relations between Argus and LUSU are much better this year - for a change. The fighting and mud-slinging has been replaced by a good working relationship, and a mutual concern for helping and invofving the student. So where does this leave us? With a better university. The best example so far is the President's BBQ last Wednesday night, which drew many more than the expected 500 students. But it wasn't just students who attended. Of course, Dr. Rosehart, the president of Lakehead was there, as well as Fred Poulter, VP of Finan.ce, Joy Lawson, Director of Student Services and many other administrators. Dr. Zimmermann and Dr. Gellert were a couple of the professors who were cooking up the hamburgers for everyone. Every LUSU executive member attended as well as some of the Board of Directors. And of course, there were a huge amount of students. The circumstances and the atmosphere of this • event really made.me realize"how well everyone is getting along. If this keeps up, _we might get through the year without a scandal. • Strange, isn't it'~ . Graham Strong Ad and Submissions Deadline is Friday at 4:30pm So you've done that registration 'thing' and hopefully you've found a place to stay. The mood on Campus seems positive. As I started to write this report I was up to my neck in "campus kits". By the end of the week we'll be virtually sold out. Obviously the "!-shirt and balloons for the kids" are a hit. I had fun picking up students at the airport, train and bus terminal~. Students ~ppreci~ted the service and I had a chance to meet some new people. It was especially fun doing the red eye" express with Late Nite Productions. . Communication lines between LUSU and Res seem to be openmg up and you've got to like it. A Res student is actually sitting on the LUSU Board of Directors. If Greg Beckford's help and enthusiasm this week is any indication of \\'.hat's to come then I'm looking forward to a good year. Glad to have you "on Board" Greg. Speaking of Res, the idea of the week award has got to go to Res boss and LUSU Senator John Burton and Co. Res held their hop in both Res and Main Cafeterias last Friday. Alcohol was served in the Res Caf, dancing and smoking went on in the Main Caf. Once I got the system figured out I had a good time. And so did most of the other 600 students. The Argus will most likely do the same next Friday for their Video show. The LUSU Board of Directors initial meeting will take place next Thursday at 6:00 p.m. in the Senate Chambers. We may get a visit from the Chairperson of the Canadian Federation of Students, Beth Brown. If not, she is scheduled to be on campus for the following Friday anyway. Reaction to the 'Study' renovations are, on the whole, favourable. Some students are concerned about whether or not it will last. I tend to be more optimistic. So far we've only had one casualty (broken chair) Touch wood! Doc and Randy are looking into revamping our sound system as well. Not only will we get quality sound but we'll save money on production when bands play in the 'Study'. A lot of new faces are coming through the office. If you're interested in getting involved there's plenty of events and committee work we need help with. Contact any executive, board member or Lorraine for more info. Be nice to Lorraine though, she's battery operated now. Now that's what I call complete computerization of the office. Hats off to Corinne Santa and all of her associates for putting together an impressive orientation package. This ought to get us on the right footing for the year.

This comes as a result of a revised smoking policy which has greatly reduced the areas where smoking is permitted. Fred Poulter, Vice Presi• dent of Administration, said that the revisal is a response to the former smoking policy of May 1986 which he said he felt had not been respected. "What we needed was a policy with more tooth." The increased militancy shown towards smoking is reflected by many other institutions and businesses within both the public-arid private sectors. The policy revisal was produced after consultation with representatives of virtually every union and employees group on campus. In an effort to be truly representative, the group included both staff and students, smokers and non-smokers. Said Poulter "Only involvement like this will make the policy work." According to the new po_licy, smoking is restricted to the following areas: the designated1areas of the Main Cafeteria the Faculty Lounge the Bora Laskin Student Lounge HERE'S Code of Student Conduct and -the Games Room -the Aesthetics Lounge Discipline and it is expected that several steps before ex• -the Study -UC0046-Custodial change plsion will prevail.

' Secondly, four to five dol• lars per year for five years would need to be put aside from student fees to further fund a radio station. "We can't afford it right now," admitted Corinne. "Not in the near future•not if we plan to have a student union building." Presently, a new student union building tops the LUSU executive's agenda this year. Twenty-five dollars from each student's tuition is being directed towards the student union building fund. The fund was created four years ago by LUSU. If there is to be a radio station in the future, it would be located in the union building. Photo by Peter Puna The Day the Music Died Radio Station not a top priority says Corln_n e Santa. "Our (irst priority is the student union building. It's the main project. The longer the delays for the building, the longer the delays for a radio station," Corinne ~id. Corinne also pointed out other problems in establishing a radio station on ca'mpus, including permission from the Department of Transportation and Communication, equipment, hiring staff, broadcasting hours, size of the listening audience and advertising. Corinne predicted that there could be some conflicts with other local radio stations. And then there is profitability. "From what people have told me, no radio station in a Canadian university is making money." The University of Toronto's campus radio station CIUT is facing a $150,000 operating deficit. c CODE Helps Illiteracy ARGUS is looking for: • Writers • Photographers • C.o mputer Wizzes • YOUf Come Down-to the ARGUS office UC0019 (Past The Games Room) GUELPH (ISIS) •• Over 800 million people in the world today cannot read or write. The Canadian Organization for Development Through Education is trying to change the figure. Their underlying belief is that to help people help themselves they first need the right tools, and for CODE an essential tool for a better life is literacy. Through literacy comes knowledge about lowering health risks, better medical techniques, more productive farming methods, and developing better storage methods. It also gives an individual greater understanding and control about the world which can only lead to a fuller existence. Beyond these life skills, literacy opens the mind to the wonders of the world. As an organization, CODE keeps getting even more effective because their approach is based on practical. programs. One unique approach is that of '1ndigenous Publishing" in which CODE provides needy groups with paper and materials to do their own printing. This method means that instead of sending ready•made Western style educational material, a group can create printed books in the local language to suit a specific need. CODE also appreciates that of the 800 million illiterate people in the world, 600 million are women. CODE makes a conscious effort, when printed material is sent from Canda, to provide information relevant to women and their development. c r, I p \ t~Sepfe'ni6er~ 198~-Argus:Page s· �MNR CentreBack to Drawing Boards stry of Natural Resources for their research purposes. • Al though the centre would The new forest/biology centre to be built beside the be equipped and used by the library has gone back to the MNR, Arthur Davies, Physidrawing boards because the cal Plant Director, feels the proposed project went way university will definitely over budget.

ISIS started in 1986 at The .Imprint, the student newspaper of the University of Waterloo. Waterloo has a large number of co-op education courses resulting in students often leaving campus for extended periods of time. For a campus newspaper this means that writers may find themselves in another city and unable to submit articles. The situation would have continued at the Imprint were it not for Doug Thompson, then Imprint's head typesetter, and Shawn Sheridan, a·computer science major. Using university computer facilities in Waterloo and Toronto Sheridan was able to send stories through the computer lines directly to the Imprint typesetting machine. This resulted in a considerable time savings for both editors and typesetters. With a new fond interest in using computers and telephone to . exchange information, Doug Thompson developed ISIS with the help of Jay Lechtamn, the features editor of the John Hopkins News-Letter in Baltimore Maryland. Over the past two years the software has been developed and a network created that allowed ISIS to start distribution this fall. Last year newspapers across Canada received printed packages of of information from ISIS as the first step in starting an independant news exchange for student papers. The packages were informative, current, and for the most part, relevant to student issues. Working under two SEED grants this past summer, the Argus visited ISIS in Wat~rloo to determine if the Argus could in fact enter this new age where computers phone each others and university students in Australia want to read our paper. The concept is simple, the technology is almost beyond comprehension. Science fact and science fiction have met, inside a small plastic computer in the basement of the University Centre. The Argus has entered the 21st century, 12 years ahead of everyone else. ISIS is a reality that is surfacing around the world. The initial contact with ISIS could not have been made without the help of the Lakehead University Computer Centre and support staff. Using the Micro Vax systen and the Bitnet network the Argus was able to be the first newspaper in the world to initiate a contact with ISIS through a computer terminal with the aid of an on-site technician. Anyone wishing to submit articles or letter to the Argus using telephone modems or the university main frames should contact the Argus office for addressing information. Latin America Advances in Literacy Not Great by Gustavo Gonzalez SANTIAGO, Chile, (IPS)(via ISIS) -- Latin America has experienced a great expansion in educational opportunities over the last 20 years with a concurrent reduction in illiteracy, but overall women have benefitted less than men. This is the conclusion of a report by the Latin American Demographic Center (Celade) which surveyed 13 countries in the region, including the most populous ones, and found that -- with the exception of Venezuela -literacy rates for women are uniformly lower than those for men. The Center, which is part of the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC), a United Nations-affiliated organization, selected for study countries which had available comparable census data for a period close to 1980. Of the countries studied, Haiti, Guatemala and Bolivia had the highest percentages of illiterate adults. The other countries surveyed were Venezuela, Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Panama, Paraguay, Peru and Uruguay. Female illiteracy is 64.4 percent in Haiti, 43 percent in Bolivia and 48 percent in Guatemala. Argentina, Chile and Uruguay, in contrast, exhibfted less than 10 percent illiteracy among women, the lowest in the' region. Celade's study found that the expansion of education has reached nearly all sectors of the Latin American population, producing important social and demographic changes. These transformations, however, have not wiped out existing differences between urban and rural areas, and it is in the countryside that the highest rates of illiteracy persist. This is attributable in part, the study found, to the phenomena of better educated peasants migrating from the countryside to the cities in search of work. In the region in general, rates of urban illiteracy vary from five percent to 39 percent, while in the rural areas the figures were 15 to 73 percent. In Argentina, Chile and Colombia literacy rates for men and women are quite similar in the cities, but in Argentina and Chile rural women have literacy ratesJ5 percent below their urban counterparts. In Haiti and Guatemala, which report the highest rates for the region, illiteracy is 30 percent greater among women in the countryside than in the cities. In its general conclusions, Celade notes that throughout most of Latin America, notwithstanding the rural-urban dichotomy, women are going to school in greater numbers and for more years than ever before. "Women, in general, are reaching a level of education a little under that of men," said the agency, adding that "this is true for countries whose populations show more education, as well as those where there is a high percentage of people without education." In Haiti barely 20 percent of girls attend primary school, while at the other extreme, seven percent of women in Uruguay attend university or receive some forrri of higher education, the highest rate for the region. In its last annual report, the United Nations Children~s Fund (UNICEF) found that in 1985 in Haiti, 40 percent of men and 35 percent of women were literate. This was an improvement over 1970, when the figures were 26 and 17 percent. In these same 15 years, according to UNICEF, literacy among Guatemalan men rose from 51 to 63 percent. The rates for women went from 37 to 47 percent. In Bolivia, with the third lowest literacy rates among the countries studied, male literacy grew from 68 percent in 1970 to 84 percent in 1985, and female literacy from 46 to 65 percent.a omputer Crime on ampus substantiate the rumours. "Or. John Drake, Assistant Vice-President of Computing and Information Services at McMaster, ha(d) circulated a memorandum among faculty members which essentially state(d) that the rumours (were) in fact only rumours. Said Drake, the rumours have been 'rampant in the university system ... it's been everywhere.'' stated the March 17, 1988 Newsbrief. "There have been rumours in most Ontario universities ... but to my knowledge they (RCMP) have not been on any campus," the Brief continued. Drake also said, then, that he had "no idea" why the problem had been so widespread. At the same time as the information was received on the rumours, the Silhouette received a telephone call from the Waterloo Imprint that questioned the validity of the rumours in relation to similar allegations circulating on the University of Waterloo campus. HAMILTON (ISIS) -- A former McMaster student has pleaded guilty following an RCMP investigation relating to the copyright of computerchips and software. The former student was fined $1,500 and sentenced to 170 hours of community services work. Few details were available at press time; however, Silhouette records have revealed a correlation to rumours reported on March 17, 1988. The March story appeared in a Newsbrief headlined "RCMP campus investigation a rumour." The report cited rumours of an RCMP investigation into pirated software that sprang up on southern Ontario university campuses, including McMaster. Sergeant Moriarty of the Hamilton detachment of .the RCMP said, at the time, "you can put those rumours to rest," saying he knew of no such investigations being conducted.

Above the Law by P. Saradhi Puttagunta Just when you thought it was safe to go back to the cinema, Hollywood blows you away with another mindless cop flick. Steven Seagal plays the lead in this film and also wrote the script for it. The one thing you notice about this film when you're walking away from it (or out on it) is that it has all the cliches. Naturally the central character is a Vietnam veteran. As any normal vet would, he makes up his own rules and takes on his superiors. As part of the natural act in any cop movie, this film by Terrance Corry This is not just another cowboy movie where men are men and the cattle are nervous. The movie takes a detailed look into the start of Billy the Kid's career. As the plot unwinds, the actual truth behind the legend of William H. Bonney is revealed. Billy's early exploits were found to be a composite of the actions of a group of men called the 'Regulators' of which he was a member. The Regulators was formed by a English merchant to protect him and his business from a rival company.

The amazing thing about this movie is that it is based _on the actual people and not on the highly inaccurate newspaper stories of the time where most of the cowboy legends came from. The main difference in the movie is that the eleven original members were cut down to six main characters. Althought the sets and costumes were typical of the times, the producers seem to forget that life of a ranch hand tended to be hot and dirty. Since this fact was not reflected in their clothes (all the .1,500 costumes were freshly pressed), there must have been a miracle product available then that is not available now. special effects go back to the old movie times when little trick photography was used. The only difference between this picture and the old westerns is that stuntmen are used through out the movie. This is not to say that the actors did not do thier dwn stunts because they did. Because most of the actor had no riding skills before this picture, they went on a eight week crash course on riding and the tricks therein. As to the cast, a lot of new, young actors were introduced to major roles. It seems that Holywood is finding that unknown actors have more appeal to audiences. Girls seem to be enjoying this change as the theatre is filled with giggling teenagers. On t}:le whole, Young Guns is one of the better westerns to come out in a long time and is worth seeing.a and ammo to finance the CIA's wars in Central America. To make things worse, the ruthless torturers that Toscani encountered in Vietnam are involved here. One major problem that "Above the Law" suffers from a number of technical faults. Fifteen years pass b~tween Toscani' s tour of Vietnam and his ne.xt scene in present day Chicago. Yet l:ie' s still a young man just starting his family. Among other faults, the CIA is seen going after Toscani; yet if the script writers did their research they would have known that the agency no longer operates within the United States. When these trained hit men shoot at our hero they're not even holding their rifles properly. , The camera work leaves a lot to be questioned. It's hard to tell whether they meant for the scenes to be grainy or if it was just poor workmanship. This film isn't pathetic; but it isn't all that great ,either. A sequel is apparently in the works and hopefully Mr. Seagal can improve on his film making abilities. Until then, this one gets a 6 out of 10. a The movie's stunts and From the Book of Failures Duncan Weller After reading just a few of the following failure stories from THE INCOMPLETE BOOK OF FAILURES by Stephen Pile, some of our own local failure stories come to mind. The time when thieves in town tried to open a safe with dynamite and all they had left were little bits of burnt paper. The thieves who took ten hours to open a safe. They found $2.75. The safe was not locked. The combination was taped above the safe door. Yes, we all have our bad days, but some of us have golden bad days. It's times like these that remind us how unfortunately human we all are. THE WORST MAYOR Fro~ our point of view the most important mayor ever to hold office was Senor Jose Ramon.Del Cuet. . In Ju,ne 1978 he resigned as Mayor of Coacaloco in Mexico, feeling that his record in office ·was poor. This selfless decision was reached with the help of 4,000 local voters who stormed the town hall, seized the mayor and forced him to eat 12 lb. of bananas before signing his resignation. ...... THE.WORST.HIJACKER .. We shall never know the identity of the man who in 1976 made the most unsuccessful hijack attempt ever. On a flight across America, he rose from his seat, drew a gun and took the stewardess hostage. "Take me to Detroit," he said. "We're already going to Detroit," she replied. "Oh ... good," he said, and sat down again. THE LEAST SUCCESSFUL. MUGGING In 1978 Sussex police launched a hunt for a "sixfoot, dark-haired youth of about 20" who failed to mug a five-foot, 74-year-old grandmother. The youth sprang upon Mrs Ethel West while she was walking through Chichester Cathedral cloisters. The result should have been a · foregone conclusion. Surpris• ingly, however, when Mrs West grabbed the mugger's wrist, he cried, "Oh God! Oh no! Stop!" Encouraged by these pleas, she put him in an arm lock at which the mugger cried, "Oh no, oh Christ!" and ran away. "If I hadn't been carrying my shopping, I would really have put him on his back," said Mrs West who took a course in judo when younger. "Before my husband died I ( used to practice throwing him at Christmas," she explained. THE_WOR§~ GETAWAY . l Admirers claim the world's worst getaway was executed at Deb'9it in 1970 by two bank robberiwho rushed out into the street to find that their getaway car had been stolen. • •• (continued on page 15) • I ' ' .. �Enrollment '88 by Nancy Adderley Early registration statisti~s report an overall increase of 4 to 5 percent in full time student enrolment. Registrar Pentii Paularinne said that as of September 13, 3,5000 students had registered at Lakehead University. This number compares favourably to the 3,300 students overall who registered last year. As these statistics are not yet final, an overall number is not yet available. First year student enrolment has so far experienced an increase of 31 percent, up from 1,150 last year to 1,530 students this year said Paularinne. Enrolment for first year students in professional schools is up. Arts programs showed a 47 percent increase over last year. Sciences have not yet met their capacity with an increase of 25 percent. L.U.'s flagship program, Forestry, has first year enrolment figures that are close to double in both degree and diploma programs. There are 33 students in Forestry Technology as compared with 19 last year. Fifty students are enroled in the degree program, an increase of 50 percent over last year. The showing in Forestry is remarkable, considering that the few job opportunities available in the field had students shying away from the program in recent years. The trend in recent years has been towards steadily decreasing enrolment. The last two years have seen a modest decrease, with a 1.4 percent decrease in enrolment last year and a 6.0 percent decrease from previous enrolment the year before. On a general scale, L.U. compares favourably to other Ontario universities in experiencing the highest -increase in both applications from and acceptances by high school students. The acceptance increase was noticeable two weeks after the second Friday in June. This is the date when the university sent out its notice of application acceptance. To accommodate this increase, one hundred additional spaces were created in the one year Bachelor of Education program. The Department of Psychology added a third section to its program. Additional staff has also been added as the President of Administration, Dr. Rosehart, has set aside additional funds for teacher's assistants, markers and professors. - Problems in housing and text book shortages have been noted and efforts made to deal with them. An off-campus housing list exists at the Residence Office for students needing help in finding a place to stay. More text books have been ordered for classes that are short al).d should be arriving from the publishers in the next few weeks. Said Paularinne, "The Faculty recognizes that there are problems and will work to adjust to them." A pattern exists with smaller universities in that the largest increases in applicants have been to smaller institutions. Laurier, Brock, Laurentian and Trent have all experienced increases, with L.U. leading the lot. Paularinne attributes the increased applications to smaller universities to the unique educational opportunities provided by location and size. The Ministry of Colleges and Universities has provided Ontario universities with an access grant to deal with the increased enrolment. The $199,000 grant to L.U. has gone to cover the cost of the education portables and the renovations made to Cornwall School as the new Fine Arts facility. It's too early to say what Lynn McLeod, Minister of Colleges and Universities, will do for Lakehead now that the university has increased its enrolmentthis much but Paularinne is confidant that "the Minister will recognize the University in her own backyard." • Thunder Bay Gymnastics Association Requires part-time recreational coaches .Hours Available Days and Evenings .Great Working Atmosphere -Great For Resumes -Will Train And Certify Call Us At 623-5548 before 5:00 p.m. SeP.tember 20 or Drop By and See Usl ~ Located at: Ontario Building CLE Grounds COUNSELLING SERVICES SEMINARS FALL SESSION Register For The Session That You Would Like To Attend !3y Contacting The Career And Councelling Centre Room UC1002 Telephone: 343-8018 Study Skills Sessions Monday, September 19/88 7:00-8:30pm BB1021 "Time Management" Thursday, September 22/88 7:00-8:30pm BB1021 "Effective Notetaking and Listening" Monday, September 26/88 7:00-8:30pm BB1021 "Reading Efficiently & Summarizing Textbooks" Thursday, September 29/88 7:00-8:30pm BB1021 "How To Research & Write a Term Paper" Monday, October 3/88 7:00-8:30pm BB 1021 "Memory & Learning" Thursday, October 6/88 7:00-8:30pm BB 1021 "Exam Preparation" Tuesday, October 11/88 7:00-8:30pm BB 1021 "How To Prepare & Give Seminars" CORNER POCKET STC'.R.'E'I!A!R IJU S'E'R'VlC'ES • PERSOS'AL&-B'USINW i.};tiERS •REPOR~,!lESUMESPHOTOCOPIES •RATESN2AiOTIABLE 434 E.

They had to be helped free by th~ staff and, after thanking everyone, sheepishly left the building. A few minutes later they returned and announced their intention of robbing the •bank, but none of the staff believed them. When, at first, they demanded 5,000 pounds, the head cashier laughed at them, convinced it was a practical joke. Then one of the men jumped over the counter and fell awkwardly on the floor,. clutching at his ankle. The other two made their getaway, but got trapped in the revolving doors for a second time, desperately pushing the wrong way. THE LEAST SUCCESSFUL BANK ROBBER EASIEST CRIME TO DETECT Failures from page 13 THE WORST.JURY................ . pornographic bookseller was A murder trial at Manitoba in February 1978 was well advanced, when one juror revealed that he was completely deaf and did not have the remotest clue what was happening. The judge, Mr Justice Solomon, asked him if he had heard any evidence at all and, when there was no reply, dismissed him. The excitement which this caused was only equaUed when a second juror revealed that he spoke not a word of English. A fluent French speaker, he exhibited great surprise when told, after two days, that he was hearing a murder trial. The trial was abandoned when a third juror said that he suffered from both conditions, being simultaneously unversed in the English language and nearly as deaf as the first juror. The judge ordered a retrial. Not wishing to attract attention to himself, a bank robber in 1969 at Portland, Oregon, wrote all his instructions on a piece of paper rather than shout. "This is a hold-up and I've got a gun," he wrote and then held the paper up for the cashier to read.

This group of two brothers, Dick (bass) and Dave Pruitt (guitar) play along side drummer Pat O'Connor produce a rapport that adds to the bands high performance. Since 1985, when the group lost a member and changed to a threesome. The players decided to restructure their sets and add some danceable material into their extensive repertoire of classical blues. An extensive touring schedule allows them to develop a larger audience since they have little airplay. It seems that they have even played the Blue Note in Toronto and other major location all over the United States, the majority being in Texas. They have played beside such band as The Band, Canned Heat and Willie Dixon in their extensive travels of the american highways. It should be note that they did produce a record in 1984 called Need Me A Car under the label of Blind Pig Records. A number of guest performers, Earl Cate and Henry Clay, have toured with them. Also worth noting is that the Bel Airs are will to play with local talent in for a few numbers. This only enlarges upon the fact that they have a large repertoire. Years of hard work have been put in by the Bel Airs to establishing their authenticity. The sets used by the band show this concern· of the Blues art and a honest appreciation of the blues traditions. The main feature of the band is the brothers' abilities to compliment each others skills. All this should lead to a highly satisfying show.a The Blues are back! I j Engineeri~ Opportuni •.......

Joining competitive or recreational clubs may appeal to you. In the past L.U. has featured such clubs as diving, swimming, rugby, soccer, skiing,running, and martial arts. L.U. athletics moves into a period of transition · this season. Nor'Wester varsity teams will be competing in the OUAA Conference as opposed to the GPAC league of former years. Not only are varsity teams undergoing changes, but also the staff composition at the Sanders Fieldhouse. Last year's Director of Athletics, ·Ken Coffin, has left L.U. to accept a position in Southern Ontario. Filling this void is Dr. Norm Lavoie, who will assume the role of the Director of the School of Physical Education and Athletics. Other newcomers include by Janet Fuchek Welcome back! After a summer of ieisurely pursuits, it's time to become accustomed to the routine of school life once again. For some L. U. students this means balancing a rigorous schedule of varsity practices and games throughout the 1988-1989 season. Tryouts for Nor'Wester teams (men's and women's basketball, women's volleyball, and men's wrestling) are already underway. Others opt to engage in sports on a more recreational basis. Intramural sports satisfies this interest. The program at L.U. is designed to provide opportunities for students and staff to participate in competitive and non-competitive, organized and informal sports activities. The primary aim is "to have an activity for every student and every student in an activity." During the fall term hockey, touch football, soccer, volleyball, and curling are offered. Aerobics, slow pitch, and a golf tourney are also on the line-up. Make a visit to the Intramural Office; located in the University Center near the Security Office to take advantage of this opportunity for fun and fitness. Claude Lapre as women's volleyball coach, replacing K.D. Livingstone, and Clyde Tuyl as athletic co-ordinator. Several local athletes are caught up in the excitement of the 1988 Summer Olympics. These elite few have been chosen to represent Canada in Seoul. Decathlete Mike Smith of Kenora, disabled competitor Terry Robinson of Dryden, and cyclists Curt Harnett and Scott Timmerman are among those attending the Games. Judoists Sandra Greaves and Kevin Doherty will also be venturing to Korea as competitors. Thunder Bay cyclist Curt Harnett will once again represent Canada at the Summer Olympics. He's gearing up for the sprints and his favourite event, the one kilometre race. Hamett, represeri. ting Team Lycra, claimed a number of stunning performances on the Grand Prix circuit this past summer. He earned a silver in· the kilo time trial at the Los Angeles Olympics in '84. Harnett scored a gold in the one km and a bronze in the sprints at the Pan-Am Games in Indianapolis in '87. Scott timmerman of Thunder Bay will also compete at the Olympics in the 100 km team trial. The Canadian track pursuit cycling team suffered disappointing news, The Canadian Olympic Association ruled that the four-man team would not be allowed to compete in the 1988 Summer Olympics. This decision was based on the team's inability to achieve the 4:25 COA standard by a mere 1.7 seconds! Former L. U. wrestler, Harry Curtis, was supposed to accompany the cyclists as their coach. He figures that the team actually attained the standard, considering the conversion factor between different tracks. Curtis remains steadfast that this group could have finished within the top ten in a field of 26 teams. In the world of boxing, world heavyweight champion Mike Tyson was forced to postpone his fight against Frank Bruno on October 22 in London. Tyson incurred injuries in his recent car accident and is expected to remain out of commission for one to two months. Sugar Ray Leonard has given new meaning to the phrase "coming out of retirement." After announcing his intention several times throughout his career to retire from boxing, Leonard is back in action. He is presently undertaking a new venture - a seven-city tour promoting his November 7 fight at Caesar's Palace in Las V~gas. His opponent is World Boxing Council lightheavyweight champion Donny Lalonde of Winnipeg, the 4-1 underdog. Speaking of retirement, Canadian ski jumper Horst Bulau had announced his plan to retire from the sport. •Instead, Bulau intends to act as apprentice coach. His career highlights included a seventh place finish in the 90 m at the Calgary Olympics, a second spot in World Cup standings one season and two thirds. Wayne Gretzky continued to make headlines this past summer. Not only did his recent marriage to actress Janet Jones attract attention, but the trade of the Edmonton Oiler star to the Los Ange Ies Kings mushroomed into an item of controversy, especially amongst fans. , The 1988-1989 season should prove to be a memorable episode in the history of LU athletj.cs.

Dr. LaVoie was chosen for his 17 years experience at Lakehead University and his outstanding credentials rroving beyond a shadow o a doubt that he is capable of handling the newly developed position. The position originated directly from results of a committee set up by Dr. Rosehart to independently study the Department of Athletics and the School of Physical Education. The Committee concluded that these two separate areas should be united, arguing that better or•ganization and more efficient co-ordination of the various programmes would occur. The amalgamation occurred and Dr.LaVoie took office on · July 3rd of this year. Prior to this posting Dr. LaVoie· had joined the L.U. staff as a professor in 1972 in the Physical Education Department.

W.A. Williams fn his essay "American IntetvenUon in Russia" writes that when a communist government was first established fn Soviet Russia in 1917 the wealthy of the world were alarmed because the idea of a society where the .resources and labour nught be used for the benefit of all was repugnant to them. Fourteen capitalist nations, including Canada, sent their armies into Russia to crush the government. When this failed the U.S.S.R. was surrounded by military might aimed at it and a trade embargo was imposed by the LETfERS ✓ DEFENCE OF West. Melvin Leffler states fn the February 1985 issue of American Historical Review that documents dating back to 1945 show that W:esterngovemments lmew that the Soviet Union had no intention ofattacking the West arid' that NATO was formed to deceive the public into thinktng that the Soviets were bent on world conquest. The intent was to discredit any form of soctaltsm and to enrich the arms manufacturers.

For Sean Caljouw, however, getting around LU seated in an electrtc wheelchair is more difficult than one might expect. "The University ts fairly accessible.and has become better gradually. but is still not up there", he said as we talked in the hallway by the Agora. I had suggested meeting in the cafeteria where we could .. do lunch", but Caljouw explained it wasn't such a great idea. "It's degrading, havingto be waited on to use the elevators, then travel through the kitchen to get to the caf." He stressed that he didn't want sympathy for hJmself. but accessibility for the Disabled Student's Action Committee (DSAC) as a whole throughout the University. DSAC is meant to serve all disabilities on campus. including the visually and hear.Ing Impaired..Sean cites a sense of helplessness as the reason why disabled students are reluctant to attend meetings. "We need a voice and some power to get our point across," Caljouw expressed. concerned for the lack of interest presently among the student body. Caljouw pointed to the excellent transit semce for the disabled as a draw for disabled students at LU. He also joked about previous committees at LU which were almost fervently activistin their demands. "Yeah. alot of people stopped coming to meetings when they thought speaking out would get them in ·trouble." Caljouw explained that a cMl relationship with LUSU is the key to gettmg anything done With respect to student semces. Accessibility is also important in the event of fire. Caljouw suggests some kind of contingency plan for the safety of disabled persons, especially on the second floor of the University.

''GIMME SHELTER'' (AND A FLEA BATH) by Susan E. Kemp AtouroftheThunderBay Animal Shelter can be both a heartwarming and depressing experience. The cages are filled to capacity with pets in need of homes. The Shelter's manager. Bob Katajamaki. says it ts often hard for his staff not to get attached to the animals, but they have to keep a perspective on thing$ and realize they are doing a job. AcommonmiSconceptlon about the Animal Shelter is that it is just a place where stray animals are taken to be put down. However, it offers many valuable services, both for the animals and pet owners. The staff attempts to find the owners of the stray animals that are brought in, but if they are not successful the animals are either put up for adoption or put down. The Shelter also nms a pet visitation program in which some animals are taken out to visit places in the community such as homes for the elderly and the L.P.H .. where pets are generally not permitted. If the staff are not initially successful i_n finding the owners ofthe stray, the Shelter is required to keep the animals for "3 working days, less Sundays and holidays." At this time the animal 1s put up for adoption or euthanized. There is a screening process for people who want to adopt a pet so that the staff can ensure the animal will go to a good home. A cat can be adopted for $32.00 and will be given its first set of shots and deworming by the Shelter. A dog costs $46.00, with the same services included. Katajamaki said the Shelter gets approxtmately 1500 cats and 1500 dogs each year. as well as rabbits and other small animals. Out oft he cats that are brought in, two-thirds are put down and one-third find homes. The opposite iS true for dogs. One-third are put to sleep and two-thirds are adopted out. In addition, The Animal Shelter is a wealth of information on anything from house-training rabbits lo dog grooming and nutrition. This information is free and can be very valuable to pet owners as well as those interested in adopting a pet. Each year Canadians trash one old tire for eveiyman, woman and child. That's 26 million doughnutshaped lumps of rubber. North Americans tossed away 60 billton pounds of scrap plasttc last year. Stockpiling ofold tires has led to such disasters as the fire in February 1990 at a Hagersv1lle. Ontarto, dump in which an estlmated 14 million used tires burned for 17 days. ! C.V.L. Products, located about 30 miles from Hagersville, spent almost $1 million researching its recycling process. Photo by C.P, Walsh: disabled students' needs. but it can't lobby Campus Development or LUSU to make the fire doors easter to open. Caljouw suggests one door at the main entrance be specially equipped to open automatically. This . would be especially helpful in the winter. He pointed out that Confederation College and some government buildings in town have as- ststed openers. With the increase of student population, Caljouw feels that now is the time for corrections to the accessibility here at Lakehead. Not only will it serve the students as well as any disabled faculty or visitors, but will more than likely attract favourable attention for prospective students who are also in need of the service. @ 14 PRESERVED ANATOMICAL PARTS~ · .

Feminism is a very touchy subject mainly because it is so difficult for 'femtntsts· to agree on one definition. This editortal ts not meantto be preachy or even to sway anyone on what they should or should not agree with. It ts simply an explanation of why I am among a growing number of women who refuse to call themselves a feminist. TheLtberalFem.1nistsplacetheemphas1softheirmovement on the premise that "women's oppression results from women's lack of equal civil rights and equal educational opportunities" (Feminist Frameworks, 1984}. Therefore the liberal's main focus is on the changing of current laws and-practices in our society, so as fo gtve women the same opportunities that have for centuries been freely given to men. Tilis does not mean that the llberal feminist is intent on destroying our current social structure and political hierarchy system. In addition, this viewpoint leaves little room (though more than the radical one) for religious, and cultural beliefs. The Radical (and unfortunately the most vocal) Femln1sts believe that women have been suppressed and subordinated because of their biological differences and that In order to be rid of this suppression a biological revolution must take place. This biological revolution would not only encourage and propagatetheideaofbottlefeedingbabies(asopposedtobreastfeeding) but also lead to extrauterine reproduction (the gestation < babies 1n an incubator rather that the womb). The end resu wanted by radicals is the total desexing of women an men.(Feminist Frameworks, 1984) It is the radical viewpoint that is the major reason that man women (including mysel0 refuse to be associated with fem nism. We see nothing wrong with having bables the ol fashioned way. True, in the past many men in many cultures have use childbirth and childrearing as an excuse to 'keep women t their place,· but there is a growing (admittedly at a slow pact number of men in our society who no longer subscribe to thl View. In addi Uon the radical feminists are .taking away th freedom to choose between family and a career by making clear that any woman who chooses to raise her children ins tea of taking employment outside the home is somehow less of human bein~ than them. . True. it is these radicals who are the driving force beh1n many anti-Violence and anti-porn campaigns.

And rollicking it certainly wast This two-and-a-half hour playbyOliverGoldsmithkept the audience laughing with its witty dialogue and mtricate plot. I thoroughly eqjoyed it, and try as I might. I can't really find anything to criticize about the production. Although Goldsmith wrote .. She Stoops to Conquer" back In 1733, the play's appeal seems to be timeless. The plot reminded me a great deal of that of a Shakespeare comedy in which there are disguises. and innocent nusconceptions. The plot was mtricate and is ratherdifflcult to explain. but you will understand what I mean if you go to see it. Basically, it centres around Marlow, a young man too shy to speak to Miss Kate Hardcastle, the girl he has come to court. The confusion begins when Marlow is deceived by Kate's roguish brother into believing the house he fs vtslting fs really and inn. and Kate and her father a barmaid and an innkeeper. There is also a subplot interwoven with the main one, in which Kate's mother attempts to stop another pair of lovers from eloping. The result is a hilarious farce built on mistaken identities and outright confusion. Toe cast was made up of 12 people, probably the biggest production I have seen done at Magnus. One would think with such a large cast there would be some weaker actors. but I felt they were all equally strong in their respective roles. Particularlystrong were Vickie Papavs as the hJgh-spirited Kate. and David Marr as the awkward but loveable Marlow. Heather Edson was also hilarious as the vain and over-dramatic Mrs Hardcastle. Toe set was simple yet effective. consisting of a simple backdrop and several props which were changed to. suit each scene. The costumes were beautiful and added greatly In creating the eighteenth century atmosphere. All in all. it was a thoroughly entertaining evening, and I would recommend "She Stoops to Conquer.. to everyone. One might think that a period piece such as thfswouldhave lost its appeal in our day and age, but I think eve:ryone can enjoy a comedy about love and deception. Toe themes of Goldsmith's play are timeless, so make sure you get out and see it! "She Stoops to Conquer.. runs until October 19th at Magnus Theatre. Toe Box Office can be reached at 6231321.

BODY PIERCING: Warning not for the squeamish! edited by Faisal Ali From the Link in .M ontreal obvious spots, some people - Ears, lips, tongue, nipples and now even the genitals. Everything's getting pierced. But it wasn't ,,always in North America. There was a time when only women pierced each ear-once. Today. rtngscan be found on every body part _tmae:tnable, Besides the also pierce their eyebrows, necks. backs and navels. Living colour tattoo Studio in Thunder Bay stopped domgbody-pierctng a few months ago--now it can't be done in Thunder Bay. A spokesman from Llving Colour said that "it gave me the willies--it was usually associated with S and M. and I just stopped." Customers included dancerswhowanted novelty bells on their genitals, to men who liked the bottoms of their feet pierced, backs, and buttocks, as well as their nipples. Customers would supply their own rtngs, but he would do the actual piercing. Roughly only 40 people had used the service 1n the past few years. Only a handful of places venture beyond the earlobe. One of them is Cuir Plus, a shop in Montreal. Bob, a Cuir Plus worker says he pierces the "whole spectrum" on males: nipples, foreskin, testicles-you name it. Some places won't do piercing on female nipples because of the .. risk of cancer." but health professionals say it's impoSSible to get cancer from piercing--an infection iS the worst thing that can happen. There ar:e- other myths - ab out body piercing-piercing your nose in the wrong spot, for instance. doesn't cause blindness. But most pierctnµ, in North America is not inspired b culture or religion. Bob at Cuir Plus th inks its largely a cosmetic choice. ..A chest with a good tan looks nice with something sparkling. It's as simple as that." Or maybe not. Breakfast is the legal name of a 21year old Torontonian who wears a small ring through his peniS. For him, it ·was a sado-masochistic experience. "I did it for discipline. It's the idea of cancelling out pain." Breakfast froze the inside of his pents by inserting a Q-tip dipped in novocaine, a chemical dentists use when they pluck teeth. "The piercing itselfdid not hurt." he says." But for a few months afterward, urinating was immensely painful. There was defulitely blood miX.ed in with the urine." Breakfast never removes the small ring because 1t hurts too much to take out. Men can choose from more vaneties of genital piercin~ than women. Breakfast .knows at least nine ways for men to do it, but understandably-only J:wo or ~omen. Male options range from foreskin piercing using a ring or hoop, to ampallang (bars that go horizontally through the head of the penis). to dydoe piercing, studs that sit on the r:iIIl of the head of the penis. Women can choose between piercin,g the labia. or piercing the clitoris. Marc, a 26 year old student at the University of Quebec finds body-piercing appealing. He had his left nipple pierced this spring. A friend used a knitting needle to slowly poke a hole through the ntpple. • "It was really fleshy," he says, "So it took about half an hour to push the needle through." Unlike earlobes and nostrils. which_aremade of cartilage, nipples are made of pigmented skin tissue. Marc says he didn't bleed much. "But for a few days, it felt Uke someone had punched me in the chest. " Why the knitting needle? "Twanted to see how much pain I could endure. ~ Bob marks the area with a pencil so the hole will be straight. Then he a pplies ice t o desensitize the nipple. and uses a clamp to hold it in place. The rest is easy. He matches up the marks With a needle, and puts the ring through. Breakfast. believes that body-piercing will only get really popular if S and M ever does. �I 'lbeArgus Page 9 October 10. 1991 SPORTS l Women's Rugby Team Captures First Ever ':"7in byK.

The con· flicts were simply over procedure to be followed in the cultural revolution. Another misconception was that works of art had been destroyed. I saw no case where this occurred. In the early days of the cultural revolution when the fervor was high, some Red Guards entered the summer palace apd painted over some gaudy, cheap decorations from-the Ching dynasty. They used white paint that was easily removed, and no permanent damage was done. Most of my students were Red Guards. Schools have been closed for the last year, allowing students to travel around their , country. This has been found to be very educa· tional. It allows students to get a first-hand look at their country, its needs, and its potential, and to take an active part in solving its problems. The students also work in fields for two weeks during the harvest. This is another thing about which there is a good deal of misconception in the west. The field work is strictly volunteer. Only those in good physical condition are allowed to go. In fact, I saw students Vl;ho were judged physically unfit, crying. There is a great deal of enthusiasm among these young people for the cultural revolution as a whole.

Ukrainian Club In a meeting last Thursday, the members of the Lakehead University Ukrainian Club decided to put to the test the newly granted authority for students personally to present their case to the Senate. The issue is one which has been smouldering since last September, and concerns the cancellation of the language course Ukrainian 0a6. The courses have been successful for the last three years and the Club was surprised that Ukrainian 0a6 was left off the registration booklets in the fall. The Club, feeling that this was simply another registration error, tried to remedy the situation. A letter of inquiry as well as a seven page brief were submitted to the University Committee in October. It was the answer to this brief that was rejected as unsatisfactory by L.U.U.C.'s membership Thursday. The Educational Committee is now preparing further material on this Senate presentation. • L.U.U.C.'s "150 GALLONS OF GAS" draw is going into full swing. Tickets are being sold for 50 cents, the profits going to assist in sending delegates to the national convention of University Ukrainian Clubs, being held in Montreal in December.

The film itself, called "Political Dynamite,'' was a satire on politics today and was well worth while. Secondly, the Liberals on campus have already begun their campaign for the Model Parliament, to be held this year in Januacy. A Shadow cabinet has been formed. The members are Brian Springgay (P.M.), Fred Porter (Foreign Affairs), Bob Gregor (Northern Affairs), Bert Baumann (Canadian Affairs), Ron Kowalchuk (Labor Relations), Jeanett.e Gall \.(Secretary of State), Keith Gamich (Health and Welfare). Finally, three members from the University were sent to London, Ontario, to attend the Ontario Student Liberal convention h~ld there on November 24 and 25. The three members were Fred Porter, Ron Kowalchuk, and Paul Vetorazzo. Fred Porter chaired one of the seminars held on Saturday, that being on land acquisition and control. Other policy areas which were included are Regional Government, Municipal Party Politics, Transportation, a n d Housing. In all, it has been a very busy month for us.

In this issue Playboy has ~cided to play funny games with the female body - in various positions girls' bodies are painted up to resemble pollticai leaders like De Gaulle, Castro, Hitler, and Mao. Accompanying each picture Is •a little limmerlck. 'lbe magazine has played this sort of cute- game before; a year ago female bodies were dressed and painted to look like animals: for example, one girl, bent over, had a horse's tail stuck to her arse. . This Is obiJCene and perve~ not in the sexual sense, but in the human sense, for the purpose ls to reduce a fellow human being to the status of a mere object to be used in any fashion :whatever to satisfy one's pleasure. Such objectification Is of course the very basis of the Pl11yboy philosophy - when Hugh Hefner talks about sexual freedom what he really means ls the unfettered freedom of the male to use and exploit the totally submissive female. The Playboy ethic reduces all women to the position of commodl ties, bought and sold on the market ~ any other commodity. Bti"t Playboy is not the problem, merely one manifestation of it. For the objectification of the · female is a prevalent aspect of our entire social life. Often a girl ls not an individual human being, but a mere package containing a desired product: that precious hole between her legs. And the packaging has to conform to the demands of the market: the right hairdo, the right clothes, and the right opinions. Not that the girl ls only a piece of arse, far from it. She, depending on the situation, n.ay functlon .In ·a variety of roles. Like a toy, she can be played with to provide entertainment. Like a car, she can be a status symbol - if she conforms to the current definlUon of what status ls. Like Mount Everest, she can be conquered in the supreme proof of one's manhood. Or, like a soothing drug she cal"I be an escape from the troubles of the real •w orld - the world only men are concerned with. What unifies these various functions . of the female ls that she must be prepared to play the role - whatever rQle ls demanded of her. And these roles do not follow from her own personality, her own humanity as an Jndlvidual, but from the socially defined needs of the male. Thus when many 1 girls come into a new relationship they quickly learn what hairdo the boy likes to see them wear, what clothes, and what kind of a smile. And they learn to wipe their minds as a fresh blackboard on which the boy's opinions will be inscribed MATE .for the duration of the relationship. A new relationship, a new set of opinions. Thus it happens that most serious discussions of politics and society are carried on by males, while the females are relegated to the role of th~ audience. The occasional girl who challenges this state of affairs is considered a masculine bitch whose opinions are not to be taken seriously. On many levels of their .eslstence girls have to prostitute themselves, to sell themselves and their human beingness for a price. The price Is the security of being accepted by the male on the male's terms. The unfortunate bags on East Hastings who must peddle their body nightly for a few meager dollars are only the most blatant example of the Pl'C)ltltution of the female in our society. For after an, they too are looking for security - and money is the only security they know. They are the ones who couldn't sell themselves to any one particular male. Although some rebel, many girls accept this role of the object, for through numerous doctrines, rewards, and punishments society prepares them fc,r this very role. They are told, for example, that man's sexual role 14 aggressive while woman's is submissive, and that from this fact - which is presented as being an inherent characteristic of human nature-follows woman's inferior position In all other fields. Or that woman's natural concern is the home and perhaps llie arts, but that the important issues of society are the exclusive preserve of men. Good looks .are rewarded with attention from the males; being ignored is the pun~shment of being judged ugly. An ugly girl friend, you see, is much more embarrassing than any other ugly object or.f? may possess. But it must not be thought that girls are the only victims of this object-mentality. The males pay the price in the many hang-ups, sexual and otherwise, which result from this reduction of women , to objects. In a society which measures success by one's ability to acquire objects, tnen begin to doubt their own manhood, their own worlh as human beings if they have somehow failed to acquire all the necessary objects of success - and woman is the prize object. Thus the ideal man is a James Bond whose capability to acquire women is infinite. Thus if Pliyboy plays gross games with the female body, it ls no more obscene and perverse than the society which reduces women to the status of objects and roles. What Playboy does with its women is only what many humanly perverted individuals in this society would like to do themselves. And a society which regards as its very basis the acquiring of more and more objects to the point where this amassment of object-wealth becomes more important than human life and human dignity, such a society cannot help but produce humanly perverted and hung-up indl'riduals.

Therefore, you might call this the Christmas issue. And if it is, then there should be a Christmas message in it. This is supposed to be that message. Religiously speaking, Christmas is a day of significance. Perhaps it tends to ht; a dogmatic significance, but nevertheless significant. The Man was different. He was a humanist in a time of inhumanity. So this is significant too. There is only one catch. If what is. celebrated is so important to humanity, why is it possible to put together the montage on this page And why bother celebrating humanity's gain at all, when it means nothing humanistically to so many? Just a small catch perhaps, but again a significant one. And a fleeting one. We don't think of it on that day. You won't either, probably. So why bother? -cg.

Sir: Have North Americans gone mad? Why do 240 million people sit back and allow their government to commit genocide in Vietnam? Can a new refrigerator and a higher standard of living he allow€d to cause the deaths of two million Vietnamese, the immolation of women and chldren, and a potential murderous attack on China (whose greatest crime seems to be a general success of its system of government)? How can over 20 million people sit at home, and watch a television report of the .murder of peasant farmers, the destruction of their homes, the torture and death of their wives and children in the name of democracy and freedom? Cannot a people who revolted against their rulers in the past, allow a few Vietnamese to attempt to better their lot without sending in the hugest, most destructive military machine of history to "help" them to choose "our way"? What does it take for North Americans to become sane? Must millions of Americans be killed and mutilated in the streets of Detroit and Toronto? Must we ourselves see death a n d destruction riding towards our children? In my mind at least the cost of our new mauve refrigerators, our "labour saving" gadgets, and our four meals a day is too high when it demands the lives of innocents 4,000 miles away. I cannot, like many of my fellow N o T t h Am~ricans, commit the crime of passive silence in the face of madness. Sincerely, P. O'Neill.

Marve/'s boys Sir: Perhaps it was a mistake, but should not that blurb plagarized from the recruiting manuals of the Circle K €lub have been entered as a paid advertisement? The ARGUS com· plains that its budget has been cut, yet fills a quarter page with naive, anarchronistic, unabridged propaganda ... free. First off, the Circle K Club is clearly unconstitutional in this university. . It limits its membership to the male sex. I wouldn't want to suggest that they're a bunch of fags, but one wonders what other fantasies they have in addition to the ones revealed in the article. Secondly, their quaint juxtaposition of ideas: "the clubs objects are to emphasize the advantages of the American and Canadian way of life . . . it gives primacy to the human and spiritual rather than the material values of life.'' Hypocri~y is no stranger to the university, but it shouldn't be encouraged. Ideas of that sort haven't been taken seriously ( by anyone who does his homework) for at least forty years. Finally, the club smells suspiciously like a timid approximation of those absurd institutions called fraternities which are quickly, and thankfully, disappearing from the university scene. Let the boys build their tree houses, and play with their Captain Marvel Secret Code Rings, but don't promote their myths as news. I suppose the university must humour even the misdirected, but shouldn't advertising be bought and paid for by Daddy Kiwanis: 9r maybe even H. L. Hunt? Sincerely, S. G. F. �December 7, '1967 THE ARGUS Page 5 Summer School Society recognized Don Colbome Back to the question: What is a universitJ? It ·is clear that what we call a university (good old L.U.) was not divined by The A.lmighty. On the contrary, it was just sort of shuffled in; and there are many who regret. being involved in such an unfortunate accident. Most writers have said that if there is anything basic and distinctive of all universities, it is that they all (a) have a location where (b) one group can learn from another group. Since there is so much variance, no one has chosen to generalize any further. Even these prereq:.iisites, however, can be easily demolished in light of where we are at now. Firstly, universities no longer need a location. People are mobile, and the communication media are becoming very sophis-ticated. Just as the necessity for residential universities has declined, so could the necessity for centralizing the 'plant." It is important .to the bureaucracy, not the learning process, that the university is now a clump of buildings which are locked up every night. It could just as easily be a large television studio where facts are canned, and broadcast to students in their homes. The students could then hop into subsidized cars and gather at subsidized pubs to discuss the data they have learned, and its relevance to what is happening. That idea mav be unlikelv, and I certainly do not subscribe to it, but the fact that it and ·a hundred other models are technically feasible, and educationally valid, points up that the university we have today does not necessarily make sense; it just happens to exist. The constitution of the Summer School Society was accepted by Council at its last meeting. However, theia: request for voting powers on Council was not passed. They now hold only a speaking position, the same as CUS, the ARGUS, a n d the Chief Justice. "Finally, after a lengthy delay, Summer School Society has been recognized as a body of the AMS," said President Richard Bozynski. "It is only unfortunate that this group of students does not seem important enough to warrant a vote on Council." "From this date on the Summer School .Society will be able to voice opinions of the summer students," he added. Tentative plans have already been laid for an orientation for the summer students, and activities throughout the summer are in the planning stage. One of the main projects undertaken by the Summer School Society executive is the preparation of a newsletter, to be sent to all those who have registered here for summer term. There will be about three of these s~nt out before the s~mer, .the ·first coming at Christmas. Of the 600 students taking courses last summer, the major portion were school teachers furthering . t he i -r education, and full time students taking concentrated progu.-ammes.

In the good old days when students were little more than literate farm hands, they had much to learn, and little to offer their omnicient professors. To.. day, the kid who has watched a lot of good television, and reads his paper every day (because he has had time for such "diversions") often knows much more about what is going on in the world than his professor, one who might be a narrow academic, blinded by his discipline. The incident concerning the Sociology Prof. here at Lakehead, who did not know what a Bar Mitxvah was until his students told him, is a prime example. · (So mebby hiss nut vun uff are pipple, but that he should know, ·arreddy.) I suppose the poor gentleman simply had not taken a course in Jewish Sociology and, being a good student, he had been careful not to learn anything that was not in his courses. Clearly, as Neil, Rodgers, Goodman, and many other writers point out, the teacher and student cannot be members of distinct groups. idea patching is insufficient Again, the old ideas are out of date. The university does not need a location, and it does not need separate groups; one of sycophants, and the other exercising an outrageous "in loco parentis." But these, we have been told, are the very fom1dations for previous thinking on what a university. is. Implied in the recent irrelevance of these basic ideas is that the entire superstructure of exams, credits, degrees, lectures, etc., etc., is probably hopelessly anarchronistic. Perhaps the most telling criticism of the "liberals," who are willing to see moderate and controlled change of the university, is that they want merely to patch the walls and ceiling, while the floor is crumbling into the cellar. Their attitude is thaL of the "enlightened" slaveholder who gave his "nigrahs" more food and comfort, but used th<!t as a rationale for defending the institution of slavery. The entire idea of what the university should be can now be re-evaluated, and should be, if it is to serve the needs of people who are going to live in a very revolutionary world. I know I have not answered the question, after all these weeks, and all this writing. But now 1 think 1 have -figured U out. Question: What is a University? Answer: It is just another crumby word.

T h o s e conditions would be that the mother's physical health would be gros~ly impaired; and I would suggest that it is ~p to a health medical board together with a social worker to decide when an abortion is necessary. I think there are many conditions, where the child would suffer because it is unwanted ( young teenage girls and mental deficient, who become pregnant). However I do not believe for >ne moment that an abortion should be left up to the individual alone. Where a child is going to be deformed, either mentally or physically, then abortion should be possible. Where pregnancy is the result of •rape, abortion should also be possible. To lessen the need for abortion, a wider possible dissemination or birth control knowledge should be instituted. There is the constant cry throughout North America. for Justice! (Often referred to, by various uninformed souls as "Lady Justice.") Surely it is a miscarriage of justice for the state to force a woman to bear an unwanted child. The argument has been presented that a mother-to--be is in no position, emotionally or biologically, to judge whether a child should be brought into this world. Nonsense! The same argument was used in the l 900's to deny females the vote. Women of the world unite! The matter should be decided by a plebiscite for all women of child bearing age, not by celibate priests, wizzened old spinsters, frustrated mothers past the menopause or anxious boyfriends. Clenn Leckie no personal decision Five of the six people interviewed were in favour of the liberalization of the abortion laws, with some stipulations; the opposition to liberalization being based on moral principles, as opposed to a realistic stand taken by the other five. If this scant sampling is any indication of current thinking trends, perhaps we can speculate and say that the days of the present abortion regulations are numbered. -Khalid Ali. __. prevention more valuable I am in favour of removing socio-economic barriers to abortions and liberalizing present abortion laws. Present Canadian laws on abortion reflect the general standard of our society. By that I mean hypocrisy seems. to be a generally accepted practice. Women, who are well endowed financially can, of course, obtain an abortion. Also many progressive medical institutions have the medical staff to perform abortions. These practices are of course illegal. What we need is a policy which would allow a pregnant woman, regardless of her social or economic background, to have a legal abortion if her physical or mental health were endangered. Further to that, if it is definitely determined that the unborn child is malformed, or conceived through ra_pe, an abortion should also be performed. The decision whether or not a woman should have an abortion should be decided by at least two medical doctors. What must be stressed above all is prevention. The "pill" should be made available to those who require and desire birth control. This would eliminate the need for numerous abortions. • The legalization of abortion, then, must be accompanied by the legalization and universal accessibility of con-4 traceptives. We allow back-alley abortionists to kill and prosper, while progressive medical institutions have their hands tied and live in fear whenever they perform an illegal abortion to save a woman's life. Dr. Diggins, M. D. strict control Bert Baumann Yes, I think abortion should be legalized. At present in Canada, Therapeutic Abortion Committees function in hospitals as consultative bodies in the interest of women whose lives are endangered by pregnancy. If those physicians come to the conclusion that abortion may be performed to preserve the life of the mother, the law is violated. Because of changing socioeconomic conditions and values, and an increasing influence of a political nature rather than influence of the churches as in the past, the abortion issue has become more of a. social one. In an American survey called the 1965 National Fertility Study done on "a representative sample" of 5,600 women, 91 % of U.S. wives declared themselves in favour of abortion under "certain circumstances." Britain, by bringing in sweeping reforms in the abortion laws, has- again taken a leadership r o I. e, instigating changes which, I believe, we, as in the past, will eventually incorporate into our legal code. Some decisions must be made in national interests, and I think legalized abortion is one of them. However, the decision then must remain with the individual's own moral code of conduct. Within the restrictions of the present law in Canada, there is essentially no decision the individual can make, except to continue with the pregnancy, whatever the costs. I believe that existing legislation dealing with abortion should be liberalized, to include cases of pregnancy following rape, and some serious socio-economic indications presently being decided in government. Overly liberalizing the legislation would promote promiscuity. Thus, definite legislation is required in order to keep this matter under strict medical control. Jean risher, B. Sc. N., R.

Many people have considered violence as a positive element not just a tactic in struggling for a new society. A recent report suggests that violence expressed through wars and war spending ls integral to the maintenance- of stability in American society. George Sorel. a revolution·ary French syndicalist praised violence by the working class. He believed that the ethic of the revolutiopary spirit would •bring about social change. This spirit was much more important than beautiful utop. fan pt"ctures •of a future socialist society in bringing the workers to action. He believed that the bourgeoisie was a cowardly class that would only cave In before the superlQr ethics of the working class denominator of society as expressed through their violence. ENSLAVED Frantz Fanon has argued that violence is 1be onl apy that will free the blacks of their colo tality. This violence ii necessary if these people are to aaaert their full humanity and not remain mentally enslaved. Fanon's book Wretched of the Earth has received so muc aUention by militant Negroe in North America that Mart Luther King felt it necessary debate with the idea Negro psycho most recent boo King argu must not u struggle for short coming of the white man.

Their leaders and councillors met often to discuss these difficulties, but progress was slow; and the people were troubled in their hearts. Then one day a gallant knight rode into the town, and set himself on high in the market-place, and began broadcasting in a terrible voice: "Lo, I am come to tell you of the cause of all your difficulties, and, though seeking no honour for myself, modestly offer mv services." A crowd gathered, and some of the councillors, too, listened, albeit surreptitiously. A fair and simple maiden, who appeared to be in her late forties, asked shyly: "And who might vou be, Sir Knight?" "I am called, though I know not why, the Nut Brown Knight. And I have travelled in many lands, and many things have been revealed to me, which are known unto few. I know of your difficulties; and I am come to tell you that they are caused by a certayne Fierce and Invisible Dragon, which worketh unseen amongst you." A Councillor stepped forward. "Sir Knight, we know of no Dragon. Our problems are more in the wav of unemployment, inflation, race tensions, fear of war . . . " With only a trace of irritation, the Knight rejoined: "This seerneth. And in spite of this vicious personal attack and criticism, I will go on." He went on. "In truth, as I said before, all your troubles are caused by the aforesaid Real and Present Dragon. Who if not he hath Suborn'd your Youth, sown Dissention amongst your \Vorkers, sicklied o'er with the Pink Cast of Thought your Intellectuals, and riled up your Coloured, who are as little Children?" The assembled began to look uneasily at each other, and to cough and shuffle their feet. At length one of them said: "Sir Knight, how may we protect ourselves from this, ah, Invisible Menance?" "Funny you should ask me that; for as it happens, I know. You must seek out one amongst you who is Wholly Pure, and pay him, say, 18,000 silver dinars a year, and send him to do Battle with this Dragon." The citizens and councillors looked glum. Not only because of the 18,000 silver dinars, but because each of them suspected that he himself was not Wholly Pure, and each knew full well none of the others was either. Finally one of the Citizens had a brilliant idea: "Sir Knight, well wot we (unconsciously falling into the idiom) to he ourselves all unworthy of the task. But it seemeth that perhaps thou . . . ? who did in fact first become aware of this Menace, and who seemeth seemlv and Pure?" "You say it so beautifully", said the Knight. "what can I say? I am deeply moved by your confidence in me. I shall labour a twelvemonth and a day, or more if need be . . . " "Hold on now just a dam minute," rudely interjected a Second Councillor. ''I'm not at all sure there even IS a dragon. Maybe we'd all just better get back to work, and try to solve bur problems as we did in the past . . ." Then Sir Knight waxed dread grievous pigued, and his ~yes Hashed, and his stomach rumbled, and he pro<;laimed: Be~old: the _very proof of what I say.

"Nay!" roared the Councillors in a body, and rolling agendas • into clubs, drove the dissident Councillor from their midst. Which just goes to show that a Council Agenda is not entirely useless. Then the citizens lifted the Knight onto their shoulders, and bare him towards the Council Chambers where the Silver Dinars were kept, and one young man, who happened to have his gittern with him, composed on the spot a charming ballad in honour of the occasion : THE BALLAD OF THE NUT BROWN KNIGHT The Nut Brown Knight rode up one day, the Counsellors were woode wrothe; "Here's another vagrant come to sup From the meare Municipal broth."

He was an exceedingly handsome specimen-such a pretty shade of dull black. One day, as I was contemplating the intricacies of Philosophical Thought, my professor who occupied the chair immediately beside mine, said unto me: "Behold! There on the floor- a spider. I shall crush him into the linoleum!" Much taken aback, I said unto him: "Hold fast; harm him not. Do you not understand that this small spider is one of Nature's very Masterpieces Can you not realize that to destroy this creature would be to upset want .>nly Nature's delicate balance " I was great. It was my finest hour. Greatly humbled, my professor pondered my words of infinite wisdom. In a profound tone, he then said unto me some words which I never forgot. He said: "Horse manure!" For seven days and seven nights I thought upon his sage revelation. It was as a different person that I returned to that seminar room. When I succeeded in persuading the spider to emerge from his niche in the wall, I crushed him into the linoleum. -RICK BRYAN midnight girl I saw you blow your mind silver skinned lady of the inner cavern sactum full of family economy size extra value minds of cut glass mirrors for a public face.

Throughout the ages, ever since man became fascin• ated with the power of thP printed word, there have beer those who took joy in the possession of books. To obtain a rare volume, they have travelled thousands of .miles, to bid a king's ransom when the book of their choice came under the auctioneer's hammer. To understand their zeal and dedication, we must take a closer look at the history and mystique of books: With the invention of the printing press, our civilization entered an era of enlightenment: now that knowledge could be shared, the superstitions and myths of the Middle Ages were soon dispelled, and in their place there gre:w an awareness of the glories of the past. The writings of Greek and Roman scholars were translated into the vernacular; the words of the ancient philosophers could now be understood by an eager throng of young thinkers who applied them to their own time and circumstance. They read voraciously anything they could lay their hands on. Books were expensive, and any student who actually owned one counted himself most fortunate. The fiirst university libraries came into being, and those universities who boasted the most extensive libraries became the most prestigious ones, -for here one could gather the knowledge not only of the learned men who taught there, but also of the great minds of the past. Gradually the ownership of books came within the reach of the individual scholar. Publishing became a business, and some of the earliest of all publishing firms still exist until this day. Heavy, leather-bound volumes rolled off these early prnting presses: theiy were made to last, for the price of in hardcover every yearr, only to be superseded by a paperback edition immediately after. Thousands of copies of the hardcover editions remain unsold in the publishers' warehouses, and are disposed of for a fraction of their original selling price to laJTge discounthouses, which in turn offer them for sale at one-quarter to one-half of their original price, and often even less. Devoted bibliophiles, such as the writer, make it their business to know and patronize these discount-houses, taking advantage of their sales and special offers. There is a very great satisfaction in obtaining a book one has always wanted to own, brand new, at less than halfprice. I a.m betting that in a university community such as our own, there are many others who love books, and who would like to own the works published in their field of interest, rather than just borrow them for a week or so; who are interested in building up a personal library, not only of paperbacks, but with a core of quality hardcover books to provide lifetime reading pleasure. To these bibliophiles, these fellow-bookworms, I extend a most cordial invitation to visit the 13ookstore, to browse among the disdiscount-books on sale, to pore over the catalogues, and suggest other sale-books to be purchased for this very special department, for bibliophiles only. To those whose interests lie in other fields, this is not a sales-pitch. If you are not interested in books, the most tempting array of discounted volumes will not make a bookworm out of you. This is a promotion of the love for, and interest in good books, not an attempt to increase sales-volume. Booklovers are our raison detre, whether they spend much or little, and we invite their patronage and suggestions. • winter The sky is purple, • lake er1e manners • " .~., - ~ My arse is too Inside this bloody bus. ~ The broken men squat on docks of rotten pilings Spitting into the harbours murky depths Recalling the days of whitefish and bountiful herring Of drunken paydays Of sturdy fishtugs flogged by autumn gales Of rope-burned hands and storm-claimed nets.

The concert series will present four concerts by the widely - acclaimed Canadian Festival Quartet and a special concert by Canada's internationally - recognized soprano, Lois Marshall, accompanied by a chamber orchestra under the direction of Boris Brott. The Festival Quartet will open the series this Sunday. Lakehead University Music Director Boris Brott, in making the announcement today, said the title "Intimacy'' was an appropriate description of the concert series. "Intimacy is the natural name for an all-embracing evening of inti.mate participation "in music," he said. "Low lights, a soft arm chair and your very own quartet almost at arms length . . . what could be more inspiring!"

I think this was badly misunderstood in the west. There is very little bitterness towards other nationalities among the Chinese. They believe that 95 percent of the American people are basically good, but have been misguided and exploited by a corrui>!._ leadership. They are much more conscious of bourgeous versus proletariate divisions in humanity than of national ones. The standard of living in China is also much better than the western press po~ays it to be, at least with regard to basics. Mroicine is very modem, at least as far advanced as the west in many fields. And there is a hospital attached to every factory. The infant mortality rate is very low. No one has died of malnutrition for more than three years. SUPPORT HANOI GOVERNMENT The Chinese position on Vietnam is that they will send volunteers whenever they are asked for. Chou en Lai has said that if the Americans invade the northern part of Viet- cont'd from p. 1 nam, the Chinese will recognize no borders. In connection with the Vietnam issue, it is interesting to note that the Hanoi government .officially denied charges made by Moscow that China tampered with war materials being shipped to Vietnam. Tbe Sino-Soviet dispute is definitely serious. The Chinese regard revisionism as a more dangerous enemy than imperialism, because imperialists are open, out and out enemies, while the revisionists pose as revolutionaries. The Chinese feel that the Russians have betrayed the revolution. The Chinese are quite receptive toward Canadians. The first thing they asked me when they found out that I was Canadian was "Do you know Dr. Bethune?" He was a man loved throuJ?}iout China. The Chinese view of the Canooian economic position in the world is that we are an economic colony of the U.S.A., and as such are incapable of taking a meaningful position on international issues.

The acceleration does not have to be stated. It is almost impossible to speak about changes in acceleration if the change which is taking place cannot be measured against the experience of the past. Hardly anyone today in any position in the hierarchy will take time to discuss the future with you unless he feels .it will improve his foresight. Just consider experience-its value and its limitations. EXPERIENCE A PREMIUM The value of experience is at a premium nowadays for a simple reason: there is less of it, all over North America. In Canada over one-half of the population is under 30 years of age while in the United States one-half of the population is under 27 years of age. In consideration of this fact, there are very few people who I know and I would bet that you know who have been through the 1st. World Wax. But I would say that many of us have heard our parents talk about the lean 30's. What a person learns over the years through experience gets impregnated into him; at best it enters the innermost parts of his being. It becomes part of his personality and he begins to know instinctively how to act and what to decide in circumstances with which he becomes familiar. Once someone developes inner convictions it takes a mighty force to change his ways. SOME ,CONFUSED BY OTHERS By contrast, those who depend on other people's experience f o r their convictions, on some political or economic problem in which they are not directly involved, may well find that their views are confused by the conflicting testimony of experts, or influenced hopefully for the better - by tomorrow's editorial. I would like to take this a bit further and say that most· young people here are influenced by what is said by teachers. This is due to the fact that we are so subjected to theoretical hypo,thesis that we tend to have ' unrealistic conceptions of what fs happening. At best we become sheep to individuals. It takes very little persuasion by polished orators to change people's minds. ST ABILITY FROM EXPERilENCE The inner convictions of an experienced man acting in_ his sphere of competence endows him with stability, and stability makes him reilable. People know where he stands. There are times when I feel few people know where they stand. And if they do, they do not commit themselves. Because a person knows where he stands he is able to think quickly and react to situations in an optimal way. He in fact can think back and feel back to i::imilar situations which endow him with the abilty to project forward. Consider yourself: there is at least some ti.me in your life when some things you have done in the past have influenced a future decision. VARIETY IMPORTENT The value of experience is not so valuable in its length as in its variety. In management, thirty years of experience does not count for much if it merely means ten times three of the same kind of experience. What makei,:; experience such an asset is the exposure to a variety of greatly differing situations. This is one reason why large enterprises move prom• ising people around; to various plants, offices or divisions, and often to different parts of far flung countries. So when you are employed by a firm do not consider your transfers a hinderance. Rather consider them an asset to your mobility and increasing spheire of experience. MUST BE CONCRETE YJ'hen one uses his experience he should be sure that the world around him is the same as the world from which he drew his experiences. Man on the moon, once the subject of Jules Verne, is now no longer a .matter of "whether," but a matter of "when." Products, techniques, methods of doing b u s i n e s s, communication, transportation all change at a rapid rate. Looking f r o m modem dormitories on our campuses to imposing lecture halls and laboratories, never forget that we young adults today are expected to assimilate in the span of a few years to a vastly expanded body of scientific knowledge. 1930's ADULTS DISAPPOINTING My reason for voicing this fact is my disappointment and frustration towards the "lean thirties" adults' attitudes, saying that all we do is leach and have a good ti.me. We must crowd and crowd our lives each year with more and more of the experience they give us, yet by their standards we are entitled to loosen up. Anything we do which does not conform to their conservatism is regarded as some: thing for criticism. One is re~inded that the School For Scandal had nothing on some exaggerations of our activities 1 e g e n d a r y by adults. It is our responsibility in the very near future to infuse organizations with new ideas and to adjust, improve and evolve approaches to a changing environment without losing the gain from beneficial things learned in the past. A scholar is not one who just has a brilliant future. Education is no longer a terminal process, it is a life long necessity. It is an neverending thing as business is well aware when it sends personnel to seminars or university management schools to maintain their capabilities not only up to contemporary needs but also hopefully to get into the van of events. you will gain more satisfaction in any particular preoccupation. Besides, you will develop within yourself a pattern which will more greatly enhance your experience and foresight, both necessary ingredients for a better future. IlNSIGHT THE LINK When talking about foresight, a connecting link is necessrury. That connecting link is insight. From experience insight may be gained and insight makes it possible to foresee, with varying degrees of certainty, the way the future will develop. Not everyone is able to look ahead and make accurate predictions of what will take place in the future. However one can develop foresight through experience and through training. Foresight depends upon understanding and people can be taught by experience or by education to understand things. For onP. to understand things it is sometimes useful after reading specific articles, not to act on these items but instead to let the material sift around within you. Usually elements of the article which you read will sort themselves into an orderly fashion and become .more meaningful. By bringing some thoughtout order into what you do, Simon says ....

The adoption of these resolutions on the part of Council makes them part of the policy of the AMS in general. Lakehead is perhaps the only post-secondary institution in this country capable of putting this particular resolution into effect immediately. This university is still young enough, small enough, and flexible enough to be able to act with a minimum of disruption within its own community. Even Lakehead does not have much time, for there are obvious signs that it too is slipping into the ever-deepening pit that Canadian universities have dug for themselves. President Tamblyn has left the door ajar with his comments on the "community of scholars". And with the adoption of this resolution the students have placed their foot in that door. Together perhaps we coul4 see Lakehead leading the way in university education if we only show that we are interested and concerned. "Learning must therefore be a process of self-enhancements . . ." Hurray for that! They should have added that in that process a student learns not only because he wants to learn, but learns what he wants to learn. General education should stop with High School Graduation, if it should last that long. There is no valid reason for a Math major being forced into a language course or an English major being forced to take a science course. Based on the present three year fifteen credit system, this could mean that a student entering university would have all courses open to him. A History major for example might be expected to take a certain number of history courses with freedom of choice in the remaining courses. The resolution speaks of " 'motavation' by coercion". Items such as examinations and term tests have become the reason for learning rather than a means of judging what learning has taken place. It should be obvious to everyone by now that examinations are irrelevent to a student's knowledge. A mark of 60% does not mean that 60 % of the course was mastered, but rather 60 % of that particular exam. An examiner bases his test on what he feels is most important. Whether or not his students place the same value on these points is given little consideration. Yet the right to remain at m1iversity depends on this value. In practise, this resolution would mean the end of the formal lecture system. Impromtu lectures, such as Mr. Anderson's on the Detroit problem, would and should continue. In that particular case, no credits, but a great deal of learning was the result. The professor would become a "resource person". With his students he would define the direction and content of the course. Students would be free to read, research, experiment and discover on their own, meeting with the professor to discuss problems or points of contention whenever necessary. Under this system, the true value of a professor would become obvious within a short time. However, under this system a professor could be certain that he was in fact contributin~ t.o the education of an individual, and that presumably is why they are here. By accepting the resolution, Council has placed us on the road which can lead us to becoming a true community of scholars. Our President wants this, the Council wants this, and many of the faculty want it. If we are ever to achieve it then we must show our support now. The road is there; all we have to do is follow it. -photo - drew Bookstore Committee Notes Christmas is made University students buying crested clothing from Perciante & Laprade or Stitt's, can redeem ten percent of their purchase price in the form of Bookstore merchandise. An itemized receipt must be presented to the Bookstore for students to take advantage of this offer. Text book markup was discussed at the Bookstore Committee's meeting.

The previously unheralded Rumanians turned m a n y heads last year when they won the "B'·' division in the world championships. They have been elevated to the "A" division, ·to play against such competition as Canada and Russia this year and, as a preliminary to the world championships in F r a n c e, they will tour Canada during the month of December. Th e Canadian Amateur Hockey association awarded the game to Lakehead University on the basis of their fine record last year a n d their growing reputation as one of the up-and-coming names in Canadian university hockey circles. The Nor' Westers won the International Collegiate Hockey association title last year against United States competition and have just been accepted into the Nationa· Intercollegiate Athletic association, the first Canadian university to be so recognized. Their experience in college rules, similar to international rules, will hold them in good stead against the touring Rumanians. A fast, positional team in the mold of the Russian or Czech style, the Rumanians have .made great strides in the past few years. They are rated above both the Eastern German and Japanese teams which have drawn excellent crowds at Fort William •Gardens in recent years. Coach H e n r y Akervall feels his Nor'Westers will provide stiff competition against the touring Rumanians. "I expect they will be a young, fast team and that's just the type of competition we are accustomed to playing," he said. "Conditioning and positional play is the secret for the European teams and we'll have to use the proven formula of forechecking them before they get their pattern plays working. That means skating, skating and more skating. The problem, according to Akervall, is getting the ice practice time at the Port Arthur Arena. The Arena is booked solidly 18 hours a day. The Nor'Westers practice times are limited to two outings a week at noon hour, 12 -1:30 p.m. Akervall said the poor condition of the N or'Westers was the major reason for their double loss in the opening games of the season against Lake Superior State College at Sault Ste. Marie. T h e touring Rumanian National Hockey team will face what will probably be the toughest four days of their Canadian tour, when they hit the heart of hockey country, the Manitoba-Thtlllder Bay area. Previous to their Wednesday, Dec. 13th game against Lakehead University Nor'Westers, the Rumanians will meet the Canadian Nationals, Sunday, in Winnipeg and the Brandon Juniors, Tuesday, in Brandon. The full itinerary of the Rumanian tour was released recently by Canadian Amateur Hockey association officials. It shows an 11-game schedule in 19 days highlighted by the game .in Winnipeg against the Nationals. The tour begins in St. John's Newfoundland on Dec. 1 ending on Dec. 19 in a yet undecided eastern Ontario site. CAHA officials are just completing plans for that final game. From St. John's they move on to Moncton, N.B.; Drummondville, Quebec; Shawville, Ontario; Winnipeg, Brandon; the Lakehead; Hull-Ottawa and Sault Ste. Marie. The University student's cheering section will be led by the pert cheerleaders who have been a highlight of all university sporting events. Tickets are now on sale for the international event.

To me, the Olympics, the summit of amateur sport, have been soured in the past few years. This is because there are no real amateur sports left in the world. World officials have always tried to screw the top nation in a sport. For example, Canada has been taking it in the ear in international hockey, after dominating the scene for several years. Canada has been sending some of its best reborn amateurs (semi or minor pro players) to play in a modified game so we can't even use our aggressive play. In the meantime Russia -sends its best amateur team (really a top pro team) to play by rules that favour them. We're wasting money supporting a national team. So too has the U.S. basketball team been harassed by prejudiced international basketball rules. But they still continue to win. To my way of thinking it shouldn't matter if one country dominates one Olympic sport because ( with the exceptions of maybe Russia and the U.S.) that will probably be the only sport which that country will dominate. And it will have to compete against other countries in the other sports. We don't need the Olympics or guys like Bunny Aheame. The U.S. has enough international sports image so that it could hold its own world basketball championship under its own rules. Canada could even hold a world hockey tournament under Canadian rules and send invitations to the hockey countries of the world. Some of the good ones would come; some might not. But those that didn't come would make an appearance eventually to keep up their image in the sport. The Olympics are dead. They are only held for the fantasy of world politicians who claim it is one place where peace among nations can be shown. "There's no prejudice or jealousy at all." Oh yes there is. Canada complains because Czech referees favour the Russians in a top hockey game. The Olympic committee knows it is wrong, and there is prejudice, so they create a trophy, give it to Father Bauer and the Canadians become great sportsmen. Nice guys finish last! Father Bauer gets a trophy, Canada gets 10 brownie points for being good sports. Russia wins the game and the whole world is at peace. John Wilson.

This group of prospective pill-pushers turned up 62 percent strong to give blood, and 100 percent strong to help the Red Cross workers from Winnipeg in making the Clinic a success. But the Foresters can feel somewhat compensated by the fact that the girls bettered their 58 percent by a slight margin of 4 percent. Engineering c a m e next with 33 percent, thanks to the insisting assistance of one red-haired female engineer, who "helped" many of them into the Great Hall. The Student Nurses took advantage of their one day on campus to call out 26 percent of their numbers. Science and Arts made rather disappointing efforts, with 23.1 percent ·and 22.9 percent support respectvely. Business Administration was lower with 21 percent, and Library Tech, a group that clinic successful should have been near the top, owing to their small number, made use of only 19 percent of their potential. Faculty and Administration (plus staff) both deserve a good •swift kick for their disinterest. Seven percent and five percent turnouts respectively put them both at the bottom of the list. Although t h e response from the University itself, f r o m Lakehead Teachers' College, and Confederation College was not as high as expected, the cause was helped considerably by 356 high school donors. The 860 pint total is substantial enough to deem this year's Clinic a success, and to merit another in the future. A thank-you to all those who helped out, either by working in the Clinic or by giving blood, is very much in order. Not only have you helped bolster a common project of the University, but you have also done something directly in aid of another person's well-being.

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

Toe project is a series of dams and diversions intended to createvastreservoirsforthe production of hydroelectric power: most of which would be for sale to the northern United States. Toe project affects an area in northern Quebec the size of France. It would dam and divert 20 major rivers and cost approxunately 25 billion dollars.

There is the possibility of mercwy poisoning damaging their fishing and hunting grounds.and this means that their traditional life and culture will be greatly affected. Vice-President of LU-s Native Students· Association.Linda Herny.recognizes the problem that the Cree are facing. She said that in Phase One of the Project.the Quebec government gave some of the reserves large amounts of money to compensate them for their loss.and this has made the reserves quite prosperous. Herny sees this move as "the governmenfs way of trying to do away with the native culture"· because.although the Cree have money to live. they will not be able to retain an important part of'their heritage. She feels the Quebec government is attempting to "assimilate the natives into the white culture" .in order to go ahead with the James Bay Project. stability. Environmentalists. backed by scientific study. argue that the project would effectively destroy the ecology of a large part of the northern heartland of Canada. Toe project would alter whole biological regimes through diversion of rivers and flooding of forest lands. Toe Cree and Inuit in the area maintain that the project threatens their cultural. social and economic well-being. Floodingo-of forest lands creates several biological problems including disruption of wildlife and their migration patterns (notably caribou). mercury poisoning of fish and humans, the potential extermination of the freshwater seal and the production of greenhouse gases from the decomposition of plant material in the reservoirs.

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

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

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

Mick Jagger attempts to play a villain but really is no threat to the hero. He should go and see Gene Simmons, the only good singer/villain. for some acting lessons.

Grand Canyon: Here is a movie that has been pro- motedmto a hit, a true public relations bonfire. So many critics have hailed this movie as the best of the year people are beglnnfng to believe this is a great movie. It has been compared to Lawr e n c e Kasdan's "'!be Big Chill". They say "Grand Canyon" is to the 90's what "Tile Big Chill" was to the 80's, I have seen "Tile Big Chill" and "Grand Canyon" is no "Big Chill" unless you take it literally. It lacks the realistic situations ofit predecessors. CHEAT STOPPERS reers as test cheaters.) In order to alleviate the cheating problem. The LU Administration must take action. It should set up a programsfmilartothe Crime Stoppers"'program in Thunder Bay. and call it Cheat Stoppen. Here's an example of how it would work. An anonymous letter recently recieved at the Argus suggested that some students in Engineering were cheating on tests and exams. Assuming that the author of this letter was truthful. it's probably safe to assume that cheating on tests is occurring in other disciplines besides Engineering. "Yeah. so what?" you're probably thinking. I can't believe you thought that! Cheating is a blight. a d1sease that, if left untreated spreads uncontrollably into the veiy fabric of this nation. "I find that hard to believe." you're saying to yourself. Well, it's true. Cheating on tests is not so bad, but it progresses to other teITible atrocities. Pretty soon a test cheater cheats on his income taxes, brings goods across the Border without declaring them, fabricates. stories about Sudbury doctors and calls Liberal MPs 'fornicating fatherless children' (alooseauotaUon) and then denies it. (Yes, Shelley Martel and Brian Mulroney, no doubt began their ca- Bob Bartholomew, a second year Commerce student telephones the Cheat Stoppers' hotline. His call is answered fmmed1ately. "Hello you have reached Cheat Stoppers, .Lakehead University's program to elnninate cheating on-campus. How can I help you?" "Hello, my name is Bob. I'd like to report my roommate." "I see. Well Bob. what did your roommate do?" "He cheated on all his Christmas exams." "How exactly did he cheat?" "Well, it's rather complicated." "Don't woriy Bob, we here at Cheat Stoppers have heard it all before. Just go on With your story.• "Okay. The day before his Christmas exams started, he went to a tattoo parlor and had all his 'cheat notes· tattooed onto various parts of his body." •Ah yes. The old tattoo trick. If I've seen it once, I've seen it a thousand times. Keep going Bob.• "Well during each of his exams, when no one was looking. he would expose the appropriate tattoos and copy the answers into his exam booklet. Needless to say, he aced all his exams.• "Of course. The tattoo technique, although primitive is highly effective." "Well now that I've reported him, when can I expect my substantial monetary reward?" "Whoa, not so fast. Although you sound honest, for all I know you could be some con man out to make a fast buck or someone who Just hates his roommate. We need the name ofyour roommate so that we can check out your story." "Oh, his name is Ned Needwinder." "Okay son. call us back in a week. If your story checks out. we1lgiveyou an address where you can pick up your reward." "Wait. What's going to happen to my roommate?" "Well. assuming that this is his first offence, he probably won't have to do anytime. His professors will merely take turns flogging him with a whip." "Ooh, can I watch?" "You sure don't like your roommate. doyou?Yes, eve- ryone gets to watch becauaa the flogging will take place in the Agora. His public whipping will serve as an example to other students that cheating can be veiy painful and leave visible scars, and no one likes that, do they?• "Youcansaythatagain. • ·rd rather not.· And so this call to Cheat Stoppers has made W a better place because a formercheaterwill probably never cheat again.

JOHNSON: A BLUES LEGEND bg Colin McKinnon Robert Johnson is one of the more influential and legendaiy blues artists of this centuiy.

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

After all it was Johnson who had his lemon "squeezed.before Roben: Plant! His songs are veritable classics, "Crossroads Blues", "Me and the Devil Blues", and "Hellbound on my trail". and he received a few hundred dollars for the recordings.

Johnson's popularity has neverbeenbfgher, fora two disc collection released in 1990 dipped into the top 100 in the billboard charts, and voted the ninth biggest surprise of 1990 in the music business. If Blues is considered the father of Rock and Roll, and Johnson is the kmg of the Mississippi Delta blues, among such artists as Maddy Waters, John Lee Hooker, and Charlie Patton, then Johnson should be hailed as a pioneer of rock and roll, however indirect the connection may seem. �The Aigus Page 9 Januacy 23. 1992 ENTERTAINMENT iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii~~~~~~~~~~~~iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii.iii-"~ HOMOSEXUAL OUTING SHOCKS COMIC WORLD Over the past decade the comic book industry has under gone profound change. a revolution of sorts in both quality of product and content.

Joining Breutigam in the power exhibtuon were Windsor's Jodi Beaugrand, who had 24 kills, and Kenee M1ch1els who added 23, a career best.

The following night the lady NorWesters took the match. by again wtnn1ng by the same 3-1 set score. Breutlgam led the way with 24 kills, 17 digs and 4 aces. Aitken added 6 kills and 16 digs. The team played great defence making only 16 mistakes 1n the whole match. Kim Rubbra played a great match subbing in for Williams who didn't have much success Saturday. Jenny Spence started for the first time this weekend and did a great job slowing Beaugrand who had only 20 kills Saturday. Geraldine Bergmans provtde a solid wall, and while she didn't score stat1stlcally, the best blocks were the ones she didn't make. forcing the Windsor hitters to make weak shots. Jo-Amle Hood also showed some quality play in place ofWflJtaros and showed signs ofbetnga natural at the setter position.

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

No more cheesy distinct society: let's all grab a hold of the curd. �SPORTS Baskethall Teanas S-weep Windsor Wemen The LU womens basketball team walked all over their host Windsor squad last weekend. The ladies dominated winning by the scores of 77-62 Friday and 83-48 on Saturday. The victories come via a hot shooting performance by the entire team, hitting a whopping 53% from the field on Saturday. The ladies were paced by Pam Leitch who seemed to have shaken her shooting bug by putting down 44 points in the two contests. Leitch wasJoined by teammate Kathy Harrison who scored 23 on Saturday. Barb Hill also had 15 on Saturday. The team played very well as all team members saw action and made a soUd contribution. The score on Saturday. as lopsided as it may seem, only had LU up by 10 at the half and head coach Stu Julius insisted he wasn't trying to run up the score. The next three weeks will bring the toughest competition to the front. LU will play McMasterthisweekend and can't afford to drop a game. It likely won't happen though as LU brings a three year conference home undefeated steak in to the games. (I hope I didn't jinx). Currently the LU ladies are ranked #7 in the country with a 14-6 overall record with their only losses coming to the teams ranked in preceding 6. The team is tied for first place in the OWIAA Westat4-0, here's a look at the standing as of Jan.22.

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

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

It will beamoreexcitingSuperBowl thanlastyearminusthethrilling ending. Redskins by 10. P.S. Scott Norwood won't miss anything from 45 yards or less on Sunday. But if he does, he's gone (unless the Bills win). TG Belrose B1•11S Da Bills! yes that's right folks this NFL guru is taking the now 7 1/2 point underdogs to sip the champagne in '92. Contraiy to the popular belief of the bandwagoners the Bills can compete with the Redskins and win. Here's why: 1) The Bills have Jim Kelly, Andre Reed and Thurman Thomas to lead the offence. The hottest offence 1s ready to strike and the 'Skins defencewUl be double cover Beebe, Lofton, the \fleUm. Th@ Blll8 ne@d to or even Thurman Thomas. At thirty, still one of the finest cornerbacks in the NFL. He did hurt himself against the IJons,butheisalikelystarter. TheBillsarethesentimen- get Thomas out of the blocks on the ground. If he can get some quality gain on the ground Kelly may not even have to air it out. WhJle the Redskin defence 18 good vs. the run Thomas is a big game performer (see Super Bowl25).IfThomasisshowtng little gain on the ground then look for Kelly to give him a few screens, Thomas' speed on the outside is unparalleled in the NFL with the exception of a certain #20inDetroit.ButlikeSanders.

Led by superstar-in-themaking Cornelius Bennett the B~ defence can shut down the Redskins offence. Whenfanslookatlastweeks l 0-6 victory over Denver all they see is the 10 the scored, not the 6 they allowed. They shut down the Broncos, and their 1,000 yd. rusher GastonGreen.Theywereon Elway all day, and Bennett cut down any rushing play even on his opposite side. The Redskins don't even have c 1,000 yd. back, need I sa) more.

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

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

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

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

Toe first and most important. will be the reduction of "transfer payments• to universities, recently announced by the Ontario Government. The ramifications from these cuts will drastically effect us considering LU will most likely compensate for the lost revenue by reducing services, not faculty salaries. Services taken for granted like Student Security, the Fieldhouse swtmmlng pool, lntramurals, Varsity sports ect... could be reduced if not eliminated. This is why electing someone who keeps up with current issues and, with the experience to effectively represent your needs, is of essence. Another major issue that cannot be overlooked is the need for an affordable student health plan. Subsidised health care is available through the "Canadian Federation of Students• and I am completely devoted of brtngtng this to a referendum. IfLU students are in favour, then I ensure you that it w1ll be properly administered and quickly Implemented. PERCEPTION OF THE RELATIONSHIP The LUSU President should when possible, be in his/her office to hear student concerns. They should also know exactly who he/she ts (not like the "who ts Ian Middleton• problem) and that the office has an open door policy. It is also imperative that the President voice these concerns at the "Board of Governors· level and, if necessary, take the tnttiative to organize protest rallies. Because the LUSU President is the chief liaison between the students and LU Administration, it is crucial that Information be related back in the form of Argus reports, class visits ect. .. GOALS A number of my goals for the upcoming year is to see a "Travel Cuts• office OD campus so the students may receive discounted air fares. I am also committed to implementing a student health plan for those who need tt and, meeting with the new Thunder Bay mayor to ensure he does not neglect his promises towards affordable student housing and student-rate bus passes.

If a concern ts brought to my attention, I wt11 see to tt that its resolved Do matter how long lt takes. Of my worst qualtty, I am unable to pin point anything major which might effect my role as President, yet, I Invite everyone to come and get to know me so you may discover for yourselves. 11 Brian Torry 'IWO MAJOR CAMPUS ISSUES HAIR FORCE 11 The issue of improved Student Services, especially In the area of Health Care and also in off campus housing and improved services. Probably the greatest Issue of present times, is one of exceptional importance, is the disastrous financial situation presented to us through higher tuition and reduced gov't spending and it w1ll be necessary to deal with these problems to ensure continued success for students. PERCEPTION OF THE RELATIONSHIP In recent years LUSU has become more of a giant corporation than a Student Union. Though it ts important to run the organization as a business the LUSU president should be a representative of the students not their CEO. • GOALS -Get students involved in LUSU - pride In LU. -Better off-campus housing services for students -Big brother/sister programs for all departments (voluntary) -Merchandislng/promotioncampatgn to raise awareness within Thunder Bay and other Universities -Upgrading of Residence facilities - allowing married couples to cohabitate in residence -Declare LU bilingual BEST/WORST Q.UALITY Best-hair Worst-hair PROFILE �TheArgus Page 3 January30, 1992 VICE PRESIDENT - FINANCE Tim Dowdy 11 SPACE CONTINUES TO BE A PROBLEM ON CAMPUS.

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

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

The first match saw the NorWesters play without head coach Claude Lapre, on account of suspension. Lapre, who later wathced the tapes of the games, said the girls "lacked concentration" and took a long time to really get Into the match, although the team was delayed about four hours at the Thunder Bay airport after their plane was struck by the wing of another. The team pulled out a 3-0 set win by scores of 15-13, 15-9 and 15-13. Leading the strike were Kelly Breutigam who had 29 kllls.

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

Bands like the Yardblrds (which eventually spawned Erle Clapton, Jeff Beck, and Jimmy Page), the Animals, and Them (featllling Van Morrison) incorporated many of Hooker's songs into their sets, and some still exist among these bands' greatest hits.

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

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

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

Previous to this year applicaUons were received from students who were supposed to be in charge and monitor the trip on behalf of LUSU. -We had some complaints last year•.

Gratis trips are given by the travel company when a certain number of students are signed up. Koenen's passage to Daytona is provided by one of the gratis trips.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

But there must members? be marks like degrees at points power.'' Dean of Arts, G: 0. Rothney, has been granted a sabbatical leave for the year 1968-69. President W. G. Tamblyn said Monday, "Dean Rothney has asked for a sabbatical leave and I have granted it subject to finding a suitable replacement". As to a possible successor, President Tamblyn said he was looking into it. The purpose of a sabbatical leave is to allow a professor to catch up with the latest developments in his field. In the case of a Dean, such a leave also "removes the temptation to breathe down the neck of their - successor during the first year of the new regime." (Duff-Berdahl Report) Dean Rothney said he had three offers to write books: one on the history of Newfoundland, another on the history of the Union Nationale Party in Quebec and a third, a textbook on International Affairs _in the in the 20th century. With possible reference to the recent Harding incident, Dr. Rothney commented, "I like reading mythology especially ' Dean G. O. Rothney when -it's well written." Dr. R-othney had nothing_ to say about a possible successor. Dr. Rothney was appointed Dean of Arts in 1963. He came to the Lakehead from St. John's Newfoundland, where he was Professor of History and the Head of the Department at Memorial University. Dr. Rothney was born in Richmond, Quebec. After graduatmg &om Sherbrooke High School he attended the University of Bishop's College, Len- Ski team wins Ontario championship Lakehead University successfully defended their Ontario Intercollegiate Athletic Association Ski Championship at the Levack Ski hills south of Sudbury in competition with nine other Colleges and Universities from the Province. Last season the one-two punch of Tom Morton and Mike Wren was all Lakehead needed as they wrapped up the cham- pionship with an 80 point margin over Northern College of Timmins. Again Lakehead University won, but this season by a 30 point margin over Northern with Osgoode Hall in third place and Confederation College of Fort William fourth. Lakehead University was never sure of victory until the final tabulations were complete. and 2,000 l,Jniversity of New Brunswick students in Fredericton are expected to join the mar.ch, • along with Moncton's affiliated College De Bathurst, and students from Mount Allison and other universities in the province. Asked about the possibility of sympathy strikes at other universities Richard said: "On a question like this solidarity among students would help a lot.'' But if it doesn't materialize he won't be disappointed: "We started this strike alone and we'll go through with it to the end,'' he said. He said the faculty have supported the students, and met with the ,Premier and the Minister of Education, Monday. Results of the meeting are not yet known. He said the students will organize study sessions Wednesday to consider the Govern- ment' s reaction to the brief presented Tuesday. They will hold a vote that afternoon, he said, when students will be able to decide if they wish to end the strike or if they wish to continue. But he pointed out this would be a student decision, not that of the student executive alone. He said students conducted peaceful demonstrations in Moncton Monday "to let the people of the city know we're still on strike--to make them aware that what is going on is serious business." University President Adelard Savoie last week said students who miss lectures Thursday or later will have to make them up in their spare time or they won't be allowed to write final exams. But Richard said the Student Union will negotiate with the University on this. He said it would be pointless to strike if In the first race, the Slalom, Lakehead University placed first, six points ahead of Trent University but the second race, the Giant Slalom, was a complete reversal for the Lakehead University five. They had a disastrous second run to place seventh in the race and second in the Alpine Combined behind t Trent University. ; .......s Lakehead University placedi second to Northern in the Cross Country race to go into the' jumping event with a 14 point team lead over Northern.

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

Damn. This al I can be traced back to basic inefficiency on the part of the Council, who ratified the suggestion to have the election on Wednesday. Now I ask you, "How can we be expected to cover things like this and give accurate and speedy reporting when the bl.oody elections are held in the middle of the week?" Now if the elections were on Monday (as they should be), then we could be accurate c11d criticize like hell, and then your newspaper staff would be haP,Py, but no, th~y had to have it' on Wednesday.

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

Sir: Since returning to University after an absence of some years, I have been watching with some interest this so-called "student power movement", and in many ways am in complete sympathy with the ideals expressed. However, the recent "garbage" as inscribed on the walls of the "great white way" has prompted this short denunciation. My personal opinion of this ignorantattempt to gain publicity or perhaps notoriety is that it was perpetrated by either a sick twisted individual or an immature damn fool.

All are to be commended on their cleanliness and respect for the areas that were excluded to them. With this kind of respect and cooperation, let us all try and develop the cleanest and most attractive campus of any University; thank you all, Respectfully yours, Bert Sitch, Grounds Superintendent.

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

Quot.ations in this article are taken from the above named sources. At this moment Vyacheslav Chomovil is serving a three year prison term in the Soviet Union for writing a petition to Soviet judicial authorities. Political imprisonment is not an unusual event in the ,Soviet Union, however this particular instance has attracked world attention for the courage it displays and for the princieles of human dignity that it represents.

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

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

In particular Svyatoslav Karavansky stands out-as an indiv.idual who cannot be bent bs, the KGB. In 1944 he was sentenced to 25 years for fighting in an underground organization dedicated to nationalism. A(tet'. serving 16 years and five months, Karavansky wa~ released in 1960 when the maximum prison sentencs in the USSR was reduced from 25 to 15 years. He returned w the Ukraine where he· worked as a poet-translator. Karavansky says that the KGB advised him not to talk of the past but in February 1965 he made the mistake of sending a statistically. detailed petition to the State-Prosecutor ccxnplaining that the minister of education was discriminating against Ukrainian students in violation of the laws and the principles of Lenin. In Novem-b er. of 1965 Karavansky was seized by the KGB, and without trial was thrown into a labour camp in Mordavia to serve the remainder of his twenty-five year sentence. Karavansky again ' appealed to the laws of the land feeling that to be sentenced twice -for the same crime without trial _was not just •· especially when the sentence had been abolished. He petitioned the Council of Nationalities of the Supreme Soviet urging it to act against racial discrimination, noting that the Jews, for example, comprise 25% of the population of Odessa, yet constitute only 5% of the students at the local university. He recalled the liquidation and deportation of Crimean Tartars, Volga Germans, Latvians, Lithuanians, Estonians, Ukrainians, and Checheno-Ingushi. He urged as well that amnescy be considered for all those still in prison for World War 11 offenses. He details what he calls 'progressive methods of education' in the spe.cial camps. 'It is exactly like a circus where animals are trained . if you do this, you eat; if you don't you may well die of starvation .... There are frequent cases of suicide, of mutilation, of insanity. Prisoners open their veins and write in blood on' the walls of their 'tells: 'Death to Svyatkin' (the commandant of KGB detachment No. 10). Some prisoners driven to despair, tattoo RAB CPSS on their foreheads (A Slave of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union.) This act is severely dealt with • the same as sabotage or sedition: The punishment is execution by · firing squad. All these terrors are a 're-educ ation' tool -•· these special camps representthe absolute physical and moral transformation of a human being into an animal.' In Chernovil's book, Karavansky, despite his own situation, continues to plead the case of others: Andreyav • a youth who testified at an international commission that he had witnessed the NKVD massacre 10,000 Polish officers when the Soviet Union was Germany's ally in 1939.-40, was sentenced _to a 25 year sentence in Vladimir priso!). for giving 'false ev1den~e•. After twenty two years he is still in prison; Karavansky wntes of others: M. Soroka, sentenced 'on suspicion' in 1940. Each time his term concludes he is resentenced; three women Zaritska, Husiak and Didyk are serving 25 year sentences for giving Red Cross aid to wounded Ukrainian partisans during the war." And so Karavansky's list gives names, dates and reasons for the imprisonment of many people. He himse~f must ~e a_ware that_he cannot win against the State, yet he wntes as 1f his obsession for justice has become his reason for surviving. Perhaps the most eloquent testimony to this man's lonely and fruitless crusade comes from his wife. At Christmas a year ago, she sent a petition of her own to Leonid Brezhnev, G~neral Secretary of the Comm uni st Parcy, the most powerful man m the Soviet Union. She wrote, "For 18 years the camp administration has been unable to exert any influence upon prisoner S. I. Karavansky ... Therefore I, the wife of S. I. _Karavansky, B_EG Y~U TO EXECUTE HIM BY FIRING SQUAD m order to termmate his long torture and the continuous conflict between him and ~e administration. I write this petition while quite sober and bemg fully aware of its seriousness." Although. the Iron Curtain is still resistant to the flow of information, Chornovil's manuscript has penetrated to the west and has been authenticated. It stands as an embarassment to Soviet leaders seeking respectability in the ey~s of th~ _wo~ld. Chornovil points to the incongruency of the Soviet Constitution which guarantees freedoms (of speech, press, assembly and _of demonstration) and Article 62 of the Criminal code of the Sov~et Ukraine which forbids"agitation or propaganda ... " f_ven despite the differences between Soviet law and the laws of other countries, the punishment in these cases seems to exceed the "crimes". . Why Soviet Russia has in the last few ye~rs re_sta~ed ~ts intensive pressure against intel~ ect_uals,_ espeaally m m~n~mtY republics, is not clear. However, m this cast; the Ukra~man~, Communist and anti-Communist, agree that then compatnots m the Ukraine are facing special problems. . Fifty years and three generations after the revolution, these people sit in prison while others can well afford to a~ue ~e merits of whether the means is justified by an _end, which still hovers in the future. . . This year has -been designated by the Um!ed N attons as \iuman Rights Year in honour of the 20th. anmversary of the Charter of Human Rights passed in 1948_.

It is therefore fitting that these questions o_f freedom, human rights, and the ~~ity of man, should be raised before world view and world, op11\1on. A WORLD FEDERAL GOVERNMENT WILL REPLACE THE LAW OF FORCE WITH THE FORCE OF LAW by Boyd Hussey These pages have carried many words in preceding issues which were critical of society, morals and the way of the world in general. Various pens have complained about and questioned the ..state .. of the world as it presents itself. It is to be hoped that some of these articles have started some searching for answers. World Federalists believe that they have one such answer. The ARGUS will run a two part series on World Federalism, the first in the series being a presentation of the beliefs and aims of the organization. This is done in the hope that you will better be able to climb the stairs if we leave the hall light on. World Federalists believe they have found the solution to the "anarchy" running wild in the world today. They feel, that by establishing a central world government in a federal system, the security necessary for disarmament can be attained. It is only through world-wide disarmament that peace can become a ·reality. It is their belief that, "Peace with order and security based upon justice, results only when government is established." This government would have limited powers but powers effective enough to "enact, interpret and enforce world law." This would ultimately give a larger share ofthe spotlight to an organization such as the International Court of Justice. Presumably the present Emergency Force would become a world police force, able to keep the peace and settle minor differences rapidly. "If the UN is to have a future it must assume some of the attributes of a state" •· U Thant. World Federalists would build on the present UN, strength• ening it and transforming it into a federal organization of all nations. A federal system, they feel, would be the best to preserve local traditions and maintain law and order among diverse peoples. These are the reasons our own federal system was organized in 1867. The revamped UN would have the authority to make laws governing individuals as well as . states. A world court would be the final authority in interpreting these laws and trying offenders. A system of inspectors and world police to enforce the laws would also be set up. To protect individuals from arbitrary action by the world federation, they feel a Bill of Rights must be created. This would also prohibit interference in internal rights reserved for national govern rrents. The UNwould"also be given taxing powers to pay for its new found scope. This is a major problem ~ith t~e _p~esent organization which seldom is able to pay for lls act1v1t1es. Fi~ally, to aid the growth and economic s ta~ility of less developed nations, a World Development Authonty would be established. This authority would aid nations in the development of their natural resources as well as helping in their social advancement. World Federalism is a group of men and women concerned about the state of the world. They are concerned about peace, hunger and injustice. They are concerned enough to make an effort to do something. Their aims and beliefs are worthy of your study at least, and of your support if you agree with them. There may be other answers to the problem or there may be no answer at all, but we will never know unless we devote some of our time to the search for such an answer. Your eyes are as good as anyone's. . .
