Grad Employment Rising Employment of Ph.D. graduates of Ontario universities has shown a riseof20 per cent over last year without increasing the number of unemployed Ph.D.'s according to a statement issued by the Council of Ontario Universities. At a recentnewsconference, held under the auspices of the Canadian Association of Graduate Schools, figures were released which were compiled by Dr. M. A. Preston, Executive ViceChairman of the Ontario Council of G raduate Studies and Professor of Physics at McMaster. The statement noted that therehavecontinued to be reports of current large scale unemployment of persons holding Ph.D. degrees, as well as forecasts suggesting future employment difficulties. These speculations, it said, are not substantiated by the actual experience of recent doctoral graduates. At the time of handing in their theses to the graduate school in the L972-73 academic year, 96 per cent of the Ph.D.'s had jobs. Of the remaining four per cent, the statement !!aid, some will since have ob- tained employment, and some are no doubt unemployed. This is essentially no change from the last two years, although the number of Ph.D.'s awarded has risen. would be unwise to reduce new enrolment on the basis of the present business climate, since those now entering Ph.D. studies will not emerge for five years. In 1970-71 there were 1,314 Ph.D . graduates in Canada of whom 72 did not have jobs when the theses were turned in; for 1971-72 thecorrespondingfiguresare L,146 and 53; for 72-73, they were 1,739 and 64. The statement noted the 20 per cent rise in Ph.I> .'s awarded over last year and that the unemployment rate of new Ph.D.'s is, therefore, less than four per cent. This four per cent rate, it said, should not be compared with the higher general unemployment rate in Canada, but rather with the much higher rate of the young people in the work force. It is also less than the unemployment rate of persons with bachelor's degrees. Speaking of the kinds of jobs taken by the Ph.D.'s, the statement said the most noteable shifts were a continued decrease in university teaching and in industrial employment. In 1964-69, university teaching was designated by Ph.D.'s as their first employment. This is now down to 35 pt>r cent, though the number so employed is 11 per cent higher. Industrial employment of Ph.O.'s has never been as important a factor as has been wished, but the number of such jobs is increasing. The drop in university teaching is made up mostly by increases in the percentages employed in private research institutes and government. The statement said it is evident that in the framework of the present period of general employment difficulties the doctoral employment picture is good. Even if it were not, the statement continued, it .\ccompanyin11: the statement were further breakdowns on Ph.D. employment data, and a number of tables givin11:detailed figures on graduates in both Ontario and in Canada in general.

The following article, b_y Norm lal'Oie and Ron Yaschyshyn, was published in the October issue of The Canadian Coach. We are reprinting it here because it is an interesting and informatii·e article and because - coach, professor, housewife, ma,. ager, student, or whatever - it has a direct application to your life. For most of us, emotional stress is a dai(r occurrence. We u·o1Ty ( about the work we do . . . the price ofmeat . . . the state of the world ... young Johnny's toothache). We fume ( about a late appointment ... being held up in traffic . . . increasing t<n-es ... c111 eas,·-to-assemble back n1rd swing set that w'on't go together). ·MJst of us send our nervous systems into high gear regularly - without a corresponding physical conditi.oning programme to offset the ill-effects of emotional stress. This article is about a coach and a basketball game, but, with few changes, it could be about you. .4s Lavoie and Yasch_yshyn s~y: "An_yone for a run." Tntroducti.o n It is a popular concensus that a basketball coach experiences little work stress during a game since the extent of his physical activity is very limited. However, many coaches readily admit that they feel a noticeable degree of fatigue at the conclusion of the game. Since this fatigue is not due to physical exertion, it must then reflect the emotional involvement of the coach. In an effort to examine the nature and the extent of this emotional involvement during an athletic event, Howard Lockhart, "Nor' Wester" Basketball Coach • and lecturer in the School of Physical Education agreed to have his heart rate monitored by a radio telemetry system. The game chosen for this study had a particular significance in that it would determine the Great Plains Athletic Conference Champion. This was Lakehead's first year in the Canadian League and both the team and coach were determined to prove that they were better than their ranking eighth in the nation. Their rivals, the Winnipeg W esmen, had previously split two home games with Lakehead and were also in contention for the title. lleart Rate (HR) is subject to alteration by emotionally induced stressors and seems to be the best measure of the various methods available for the identification of emotional stress. Furthermore, the use of radio telemetry permitted Coach Lockhart to perform his normal coachi~ duties without encumbering h.im and at the same time have his I IR monitored. Method The subject stands six feet and five inches and weighs two hundred and thirtyfive pounds. He is thirty-five years old and has been coaching for thirteen years - three years at Lakehead University. The apparatus used for recording heart rate w~s a Model 368 Biolink Telemetry System devised by Biocom Inc. Two electrode contact points were used; the first placed at _about rthe top of the sternum; the second placed about two inches below the nipple on the left side of the subject's chest. The electrodes were then connected by a small wire lead to a battery operated ECG radio transmitter positioned and clipped on the right front of the subject's belt. The connecting wires were hidden beneath tl1e subject's shirt. The Biolink FM receiver and Cambridge US-4 electrocardiograph recorder were positioned behind the stands and players' bench on the balcony of the gymnasium. A visual commentary and record of the game was also made by a video-tape camera. Anecdotal records were made of the circumstances that accompanied each heart rate recording. Results l.ockhart's resting HR was noted and recorded to be 58 bpm during the afternoon of the game. This figure can be considered as very normal. His HR was ]18 bpm on enteri~ the gym after the warmup. At "tip-off' time his HR rose to 136 bpm. During the next forty minutes of the game, his HR ranged from as high as 180 bpm to 122 bpm. The median I IR response for the first half was 140.70 bpm with the greatest being 167 bpm and the least 125 bpm. The median HR in the second half was 111.25 with the greatest being 180 bpm and the least 122 bpm. As the game came ·10 a· close, the median response dropped greatly to 133.30 bpm (last ten minutes) and 126.50 bpm (last two minutes). A close study of the appurtenant events �t>arly stagt>s of the game until sonwpattern of pla~·, a score or error occurred. suggE>Sts some systematic relationships between heart rate and the elements of the game which affect the score and which are therefore of concern to thecoad1. Fouls, performance, errors, turn-overs and quick breaks seemed to provide the stimuli for the elevation of the heart rate. For example, when a Lakehead player missed a lay-up, the coach's I IH rose from HI bpm to I(> I hpm. The 11 H increased ten beats per minute when the freeshooter was handed tht> hall regardless of which team was shooting. This increase was followrd by a precipitous decrease in 11 R as soon as the free throw shooter lofted the ball. Lockhart's heart rate leaped to 167 bpm when a Winnipeg took a shot from mid-court and scored as the halftime buzzer sounded. Lockhart's heart rate remained high ( 136 bpm) during the intermission but exploded to 180 bpm when the LL. press st·ored on its third steal in succession. This heart rate of 180 bpm reflects that it was recorded with Lockhart in an upright and moving state while involved in moderate physical activity ( he leapt from the bench) and this cannot be compared really to the sitting heart rates durin~ the course of the game. \!though Lockhart's an.x.ieties srt>med to decrease, his stale of excitement increased with each play. On an early play LL'. attempted a fast break and almost turned the ball o,·er as they recoverrd on an out of bounds play. The crowd sremed to lose their breath and Lockhart's I IB shot lo lj0 bpm. Lair in the first half Lockhart seemed to become irritable as his "~or' \Vesters" made costly errors. I Iis 11 B maintained a level of about l ij bpm until one of his better players missed on an easy lay-up. This seemed to be the height of all the previous frustrations as his I IR reached )61 bpm- .\!though he appeared resigned, it was oh\'ious from his 11 R that his emotional upset was so frustrating that he had become regressive. I lis frustration exploded into anger at the buzzer as a Winnipeg shot scored from mid-court. l.ockhart's II H shot to 16 7 bpm as he lept from the bench in a hostile manner to dispute the basket with the referee and the opposing coach. niscussion It was clearly evidenced that coach Lockhart was apprehensive of the evening's outcome. I lis nervousness and I IR heightened as he entered the gymnasium for the warm-up drills. Physical activity may have hren a factor in raising his II B from j8 hpm at rest lo l IB bpm on entrance to the floor. Also the lound cheers and heating of metal drums could have caused a further rise in 12,> bpm. ln anticipation for the game to beµ;in, Lockhart's I IH rose again to 136 bpm _just prior to the tip-off. This anxiety seemed lo continue into the From this point on in tlw game l..l . showed its dominance in pla~· and Lockhart's I lR slowly dropped as his confidence redured his l'molional stress. This relief from lrnsion and strain steadil\' in<'rmsed as Lockhart's 11 B dropped fron1 180 bpm to 12,> bpm, when he deC'ided to put in thr .I unior \ arsity substitutes. \t this point with (> minutes remaining to play in thr gamr, Lockhart's 11 R momentarilv rose to l."iO hpm thus revealing that a new set of amdeties had evolved in his c·onc·rrn for lhe play of his new substitutes. Thesr feelings of nervousness were short livro as his subs rasily matched the already defeated opponen"ts and Lockhart's HH again dropped to 122 bpm during the last se<'onds of the game. This great relief from tension and anxiety was very dramatic in the last portion of the game; however, the earlier events must certainly have had some rffects on the C'oach other than fatigue. Thr winning coach has a release of slrain but what about the losing coach'! As the L. l 1. press continued successfully and Lakehead took command of the game, Lockhart's heart rate steadily decreased until new substitutes (Juniors) took over with about six minutes remaining. Even with these junior players on, his heart rate still decreased to a low of 122 bpm. In an attempt to identify the emotions felt by the coach, the authors can only offer a series of propositions and assumptions as revealrd by the fluctuations in heart rate. ph~ sieal exercist' on this oc·c·asion was ,·igorous. Howard Lockhart Needless to say the emotions exhibited through a seri~s of anxieties, excitement and frustrations created a severe degree of emotional conflict for Lockhart to carry into thr dressing room at the half. • It was evident that the great conflict had forced Lockhart's I IR to remain high ( 136 hpm) during the intermission. The second half hegan with LL'. pressing vigorously. l.ockhart's plan of attack proved to lwighten the excitement of everyone as _ his team gained on \\innipeg. llis I IB slowly rose to 161 bpm as the excitement grew . Lockhart's impatience finally explodt'<I into t>lation as his team conxerted its third steal in suceession for two points. I lis I IB soared to 180 bpm as he flew from his beneh and danced with exaltation for his team's efforts. Once again this elation cannot he the single cause of his incrrased 11 B of 180 hpm, as his The variations in Coach Lockhart's heart rate in this study could be assumed to result from emotional involvement ratlwr than as a result of muscularactivity. This clearly indicates the involvement. of thl' autonomic nervous system; the parasympathetic function to prepare the body to meet conditions of physical and emotional stress by an increased heart rate. Thr balance between the two divisions is autonomic tone and is an important aspec·t of fitness. Physical ina<'livity and exposureto repeated emotional involvPment elevalt'S heart rate and disturbs the autonomic· balanc·e necessary for the mainlt'rHln<'e of good health. It has been shown that rt'!-(· ular exercise strengthens theaclaptivemechanism of the body, to psyehologieal manifE>Stations of severe stress. The practical significanl'e of this study is that a coach should h<• fully aware that he must parli<'ipatr in a strmuous physi<'al l'onclitioning prog-ram to offspt emotional stress and to prevent a distortion of the autonomi<' nervous S\'Slt•m if he is to maintain his own good hPahh. \nvont' for a run! �LU Biology Club Winter Lecture Series The Biolog~ Club has arranged a series of free public talks for the I97 i winter semester.

For example, the vertical walls of the canyons rut off direct sunlight to the canyon floors for much of the day, and talus or rocky debris on the canyon floors arts to dam up water flowing through the canyon. \\'ith theroming of fall, the dammed-up water freezes solid and may remain frozen all throu/!:h next summer, insulated from the heat of the sun's rays by hu!!:e rocks, and by a foot-thick carpet of moss. Thus, during the /!:rowing season, on the canyon floors there is considerably less sunlight, and there are cooler temperatures than normal for this latitude. The result is an approximation of \retie conditions along the canyon floors, and an investigation of the plant species to be found at the bottom of the canyon, says \Ir. Carton, has lent support to the theory that there is a narrow strip of /!:round, runnin!!: along the floor of both canyons, which is, in effec:·t, a miniature tundra. \\ hat makes the plwnomenon so remarkabll' is that it is to be found so far south. Perhaps the only other plac!' ·in \orth .i\merica where :\rcli<' tundra can be encountered at such a southerly latitude is at the summitof'.\lountWashin~tonin \ew Ef1!!:land. The easiesl!!:oin/!:forhikersusill!!: the canyon is ri!!:hl down the middle of the tundra strip, and in recent years, the amount of human traffic using the canyons has increased considerabl). \lthou/!:h boots neressaril) dislod/!:e, tear or brl'ak off plant material, to the canyon tundra this constitutes dama/!:I' which may take centuries to repair. While such dama/!:e is done quite innocently, \Ir. Garton feels that it should be stopped before the canyons· ecosystems are damaged be~·ond their capacity to repair themselves.

Evans, Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychology, recl'ntly received Canada Council Grants. The award which was granted lo Dr. Zawadowski will be used for research on French in Canada. It will enable him to spend some time in the French-speaking regions of Canada, to collect new materials related to the French language used there, and to take advantage of the large collections and library ·resources inQuebecCity, l\1ontreal, and other centres. His research will be primarily concerned with the phonetic and gramatical phenomena that char- acterize the French speech in large centres which have much contact with Enl,{lish. Dr. Zawadowski will also enquire into the linguistic status of the various status of French. The Canada Council Crantawarded to Dr. .lames Evans is in the form of a Leave Fellowship. ( It consists of a basic award to supplement his sabbatical salary, plus an allowance to cover research expenses while on sabbatical.) l>r. Evans is an experimental social psycholol,{ist and his specialty is social motivation. Three years ago, because of a weight problem, he began running for exercise. Now, he runs five miles a day, 6 days a week. His experience with the effects of becoming physically fit resulted in a dl'('ision lo focus his resrarch on the social psycholo1-,ry of physical and ml'ntal heillth. llis research intl'rests will take him to Europe, particularly the Scandinavian countries - where the physical fitness orientation of thl' Scandinavians is reflected in the environment they have constructtd to encourage health oriented pursuits. l>r. Evans will also study and work for approximately 10 months, with Dr. PerOlaf :\strand, - an exercise physiologist and one of the world's foremost authorities on physical fitness - at the Swedish <:ollt'f(t- of .Physical ~.ition.

Christian Insights Continues The series of free public lectures and panel discussions entitled "Christian Insights In A Confused World" which began last November - with guest s·peakers Gregory Baum and Tim Ryan - will continue on Tuesday, January 15th, at 8:30 p.m. in the University Centre Theatre. The guest speaker will be the Rev. Edward Checkland - pastor of the First Baptist Church in Edmonton, Alberta -on ''The Person In Christian and Contemporary Thought" which will include a discussion of the contribulion that Christian thought has made lo the development of the individual, what Christian thought can offer a person, and what is happening in the modern world through the impact of the technical mind and how Christian thought can help to offset the growing sense of alienation and depersonalization. Edward Checkland was born in Ottawa. He received his B.A. and B.l). at McMaster University and compll'ted tw_o years of post-graduate work at Yale. He was the pastor of the largest Baptist church in Winnipeg for 7 years and in Hamilton for 5 years. He has been pastor of the First Baptist Church in Edmonton for 13 years and is currently lecturing in thl' religious education coursl' at the University of Albl'rla. Lakehead l lniversity faculty members and local clergymen will act as resource people for the discussion and participation that is stimulated by the speaker. This lecture series is sponsored by Lakehead University and The Thunder Bay Council of Clergy. Further lectures will be announced as detail's become available. �American Potters Visit Lakehead Terry Anderson and Jasper Bond, teaching assistants to Professor Glenn Nelson at the University of l\linnesota ( Duluth) were at the Lakehead University Pottery Studio November 30 - December 2, to meet the students taking the pottery course and to instruct in a community workshop. Also, they gave a public lecture, accompanied by slides of Japanese and European potters and their work, and a movie of life in a modern Japanese pottery villag-e. The Pottery department at the l :niversity of Minnestoa is known to be one of the best in the l ' nited States, and it is hoped this will be but the first of a continuing series of visits their faculty will make to us. The next visiting potter is \lary h:eepax, whose surrealistic pottery aroused considerable comment when she had her first show in London, England,afewyearsago. She will be here at the end of January. These visits are org-anized by the Aesthetics Society - a local group - and are subsidized by an Ontario Arts Council grant.

( A minority verdict had it 'that Vince Edwards actually played the department store mannffJuin in Miracle on 34th Street.) _Funny, I thought, you' re funny: I am easily amusoo, especially be myslef. Perhaps I would amuse Dr. Lavoie with my wonderful sallies. I was early. Norm, I was told, could be found. in the Squash Court. And so he was: a sizeable chunk of sweat and fury hurling himself after the small black squash ball with a type of dedication usu. ally ascribed· to the routing of devils from an •unwilling body by a frantic exorcist. Norm wo·n his· point. The game slowed while. his playing partner attempted to corral"the recalcitrant ball and Norm look•• ed up, saw me at the court-side window Dr. Norm Lavoie (left) applies electrocardiogram senso,y contacts to part-time guinea pig and full-time·assistant, Clyde Tuyl: Clyde walks a variable speoo treadmill while heart rate and oxygen-intake data are Joo into a computer monitoroo by Hartmut Rosenfeld. by O'Dwyer and raised five fingers in a time signal. Presently, Norm cli~bed out oftheSquash court womb. We met and shook hands.rather, he shook me, while I hung on. Dr. Norm Lavoie is an exercise physiologist and an Assistant Professor in the Department of Physical and Health Education. And he had some news: "Can we talk? Okay, I'll meet you around 10:30 outside the Human Performance Laboratory at the Field House." Foreshortened by my topsidevantagepoint at the squash court window, Norm looked formidable. Standing in front of me he looked BIG. I decided not to attempt to amuse him with any Human Performance sallies. ( If, like Queen Victoria, he chose not to be amused . . . I shuddered.) "Come on, let's go to the lab." _I grabbed my camera and headed across campus. The mind wanders: What is a Human Performance Labomto,y? It could be a large and dusty place, haphazqrqly strewn with batteroo Klieg lights' peeling scenery.flats and sweat,-stainoo costumes - a ~ ago roar-of the-greasepaint ... smeft-:{f the-crown place. Do you go, there, recite a few lines of Othello, or perhaps, mumble Bmndo's part from A Streetcar Named Desire, and . receive a verdict on your acting ability froff1 · a panel of eminent thes. pians? ·" Wei~ son, on· a scale from Troy As we jogged down the hallway, Norm explained his work: "At the Human Performance Lab, we have all the equipment necessary to evaluate an individual's level of physical fitness. And, we recently received a LIP Grant that will enable us to open the Lab facilities to the public. This apparatus is usoo to obtain cardiorespirato,y information from athletes. The rest of us are testoo on thebicyclergometer. "I believe that most Canadians are not particularly fit. Although, we do expect that the people of Northwestern Ontario �will be more fit than those from southern centres. • "People who take advantage of the tests will be told in what areas they are physically deficient and advised about how they can improve their level of fitness. The test results will be compiled and sent _to a clearing house that will correlate data from similar programmes across Canada. 'Norms' will be established and the final results will be submitted to federal and provincial governments." Norm estimates that approximately one thousand peo_ple will take advantage of the fitness tests. He intends to make the people of Thunder Bay aware of the programme through advertising and a half-hour television show which is presently being prepared - with the aid of Larry Hebert, an LU grad and Personnel Officer at Lakehead Psychiatric Hospital - and will be aired on CTNO, Cable 7, sometime soori. Norm continued: "We've already tested approximately 700 students in the Northwestern O htario area, including 200 public school kids at Atikokan. You see, the Atikokan School Board is implementing a new physical education programme. We'll re-test the kids again, after the programme has been going for a while, and compare the results -to seeofthephys-ed programme is working." At the lab, Norm introduced me to Clyde . Tuy! and Harmut Rosenfeld - both LU • Physical and Health Education grads-who will assist in the testing procedures. The fitness test itself actually consists of five separate tests: "But, said Norm,"before the test can be administered, you must have a certificate of physical-well being from your doctor. This, of course, is no measure of your physical fitness - but it does indicate that you can take the tests without harming yourself. As a second precaution, we'll take your blood pressure. If it's too high - we stop right there." The mind wanders: I had decidoo to take the test myself. But not without a great deal of trepidatwn Once I had been fairly active: of late, I have been extremely sedentary. I could easily imagine the test results: "Well, on a scale from Cass El/wt to Jorge Johansen (my name for that infuriatingly fit 65 year old Swooe we middling-young Canadians . are incessantly comparoo to) you rate somewhere between a poi-bellioo Jack Spratt and a corpse." Unfortunately (probably in more ways than one) I did not have a doctor's certificate so could not be testoo. A reprive: but Tvowed to return I mentioned to Norm that - test or no test - I knew I was in poor physical condition and, to add injury to insult, I drank a bit and smoked a lot. As with most of my fellow addicts, I would like to quit smoking. But drinking ... well, one vice out of the multitude available isn't too bad, is it'? "Well, Mike, we don't intend to tell people to stop everything they do - I drink the odd beer myself. But what we want to stress is this: No matter what you do, you'll enjoy it a heck of a lot more if you're physically fit. "You should tell people, though, that if they want to take the fitness tests, drinking, ·smoking or eating prior to the tests will affect the results. So some abstention is advisable at that time." The fitness test itself goes something like this: First, the skin-fold test. A millimeter-callihrated pincher device is used to estimate the percentage of body weight that is fat. Measurements are taken in the tricep,chest and stomach areas. Fat, by the way, isn't necessarily unhealthy. A normal person carries about 8 to 10 per cent fat: but watch where you carry it. Next, a grip device - squeezed alternately by right and left hand - is used to determine approximate over-all body strength. The vital capacity testor is the next stop. This device measures the volume of air which can be held by the lungs. Theperson being tested - or "testee" as he is known in the trade and probably is in fact, by this time - exhales into the machine and a volume measurement is taken. Lastly, the biggie: themaximumoxygenintake test - or, more professionally, the Astrand Rhyming Nomogram Test (named after Dr. Per-Olaf Astrand an exercise physiologist in the Department of Physiology at the Swedish College of Physical Education, originator of the test and a world-renowned authority on fitness). Back to Norm: "The maximum oxygen· intake is the amount of air the heart and lungs can take in and use in one minutl'. This is the best test for cardio-respiratory fitness which is the most important component in over-all physical fitness. A fit cardio-respiratory system is vital to •a healthy person, and conversely, a fit person must have a healthy cardio-respir, atory system." The subject is hooked up to an electrocardiogram and placed on a bicy~lers rogometer - a one-wheeled cycle-like machine, similar lo the type used in places like Vic Tanney's. He then pedals in time lo a metronome for fourteen minutes while Norm's gnomes make it increasingly difficult to pedal the infernal contraption - by tightening up the pedalling mechanism. And that's all there is to it. Well, almost. The results are tabulated and presented. Then, if the results are less than satisfactory and if you care about your health, the work begins. • The mind wanders: Tomniorow'sHeadlin_e - Joggers Jam Throughways: Canadians Surpass Swooes in Levels of Fii. ness.

A brief presented to the Ontaro Legislature outlines their prooicament. It states in part: "People aren't dying the way they used to." But, all that is in the future. Meanwhile, I should get out and run around the block a few times. I ·should get over lo the Human Performance Laboratory and see Norm. But it's cold and I am busy.Maybe tomorrow. �We ARE Amused: CAG '73 Last month, Ll r Week receil·ed a letterfrom Department of Geography Chairman, Dr. Brian Phillips, u·hich said in part" ( l lere) is a icit~r report on the 1·ery· successful C1C 73 meeting the Ll' Department of C eography hosted ./\fay of last year.

The library teehnician movement hascoml' of agp throughout Ontario and a consensus lo form a strong provincial organization has recently moved from talk lo action. 11 umber College, Rexdale, Ontario was the meeting place for a group of 26 diploma technicians in la1e()c1ober. Since the majority of the members of C.L.T.A. wereOntarians, it wasfeltthatathrustshouldbe made by forming strong provincial associations that would eventually form the foundation for dominion organization. The problems in organizing C.L.T.A. have been grpat ,(ue lo lack of finances, geography, and the fact that all the organization is being done on a volunteer basis. Such an association could only be officially set up and organized at a conference for technicians. With these factors in mind, the technici.ans who attended the meeting felt that it is most important lo begin the steps of organization for a Technicians Conference. Thus, an interim committee for the Ontario Association of Library Teehnicians was formed. This committee consists of !\fr. Douglas Willford, Library Technician, I lumber College ( Niagara College Craduate), Chairman, Ms Micheline Overall, Library Technician, Documentation Centre ( Algonquin College C raduate), Secretary Treasurer, and Ms Charlolle . J<]wert, Lab Assistant, School of Library Technology ( LakehPad University Graduate), Chairperson of Publicity and Programming. This commillee will draft a Constitution and make plans for the first annual meeting of the Technicians Association, and will endeavour to promote the aims and objectives of the Association. A meeting of the Interim Commillee will take place In Ouawa in late February as Algonquin College (Ottawa) has offered to host this proposed conference, . and so the Committee will be meeting to finalize plans for the two day conferenc~. �even~s Friday January 11 Saturday January 12 Tuesday .f anu!lry 15 Thursday January 17 Friday January 18 Saturday January 18 Tuesday January 22 Library Technology fihns "Assignment", "Because They Are Different", "Brendan Behan's Dublin" will be shown al 1 p.m., Room L - 5002.

Deep within its walls, two men, barely discernable in the meagre light of aflickering candle, hunch over a grimy bench th1't is littered with diabolical paraphenalia. Lightning flas~es, briefly illuminating these strange, darkness-craving creatures. One looks up, startled. It's body, clothed haphazardly in greasy rags, is oddly, horribly misshapen. It's face is a contorted mask of-scar tissue and fear.

Again, lightning crashes • its deadly tendrils ripping through a turret window to strike, with unholy power, the huge apparatus that looms in a far corner of the dungeon-like room .

Of course, being an intelligent, perc~ptive youth, I did not long believe in this celluloid version of science.

It was in that rarified atmosphere of higher learning and swaggering pseudoadulthood • during the l950's • that I was made aware of the " true" nature of scientists and their work environment. Sc110ol books, guidance film s and magazines showed me the true fare of science: extremely clean-cut young men and women with dedication and unimpeachable faith in the future • a future they would moldwritten on every handsome countenance. I low proud they looked in their snowwhite lab coats. How their importance was magnified . . . intensified by the stainless steel and polished glass that were pro• fligate in their sterile laboratories.

Norm Lavoie, an \ssistant Professor in the Lakehead university Department of Physical I lealth and Education will head up the fitness project. The programme, according to Ur. Lavoie, will be open to members of the community: "The testing facilities are set up and ready to go. We will be letting the people of Thunder 13ay know, very shortly, how they can take advantage of the fitness tests." Three additional staff members-with a background in Physical 1 lealth education- will be hired and traineci project. , assist in the People who take the tests will be given a run-down on the degree of their physical fitness and, for those who fai"r poorly in the tests, a programme that will increase their fitness. The over-all test results will be compared with the results of similar tests being done across Canada. "We will then," said Dr. Lavoie, "have a good reading on the degree of physical fitness enjoyed by most Canadians. lf, as we fear, Canadians are not physically fit, we hope the results will encourage people to increase their level of activity." Film Animation Workshop Saturday, November 24, the students in the School of Library Technology were introduced to the art and techniques offilm animation. Mr. Ian McCutcheon, Representative of -the Natinal Film Board of Canada, conducted a one-day workshop during which he not only demonstrated how 8mm films may be made usingsingleframe exposures but also described a filmmaking experiment which had been conducted with children at the Scarborough Public Library. The results of this experiment were a number of imaginative and entertaining films. Following a brief session of instructions, the students proceeded to create four 8mm films themselves using both cut-out and Plasticene figures. A fifth film was made without the use of a camera through the drawing of abstract designs on bleached 16mm film. Enthusiasm was so great that future filming projects are now being considered by the School of Library Technology. It is hoped that the skills learned may be used by the future technicians inprovidingmore varied and more effective library service particularly among children. The School is very grateful to both Mr. McCutcheon and' Mr. D. McLean, the Thunder Bay Representative of the National Film Board for allowing us to participate in a most rewarding and enjoyable learning experience.

Bruley Speaks at Seminar A seminar and workshop on the 13asic Technology of the Pulp and Paper Industry and its Waste Reduction Practices was sponsored by The Water Pollution Control Directorate, Environment Protection Service, Environment Canada and held at the Pulp and Paper Research InstituteofCanada, Pointe Claire, Quebec during November 1 l, 15 and 16, 1973. The purpose of the seminar was to familiarize Environment Protection Service personnel with the many phases of pulp and paper technology to examine the sources and composition of mill effluents and to examine the latest technology of waste reduction practices. It was looked upon as a major contribution toward improving understanding and communication between the regulatory bodies and the industry. A. .I. Bruley, Associate Professor in Chemical Engineering along with an Industrial Consultant, Mr. S. Shastri of Toronto were the principal lecturers for the first two days. The third day highlighted a lively panel discussion with management representatives from industry and tour of PPRIC. Study of Athletic Programmes A study of athletic programs in Canadian universities and colleges and how they fit into the broader picture of Canadian contemporary sport will be jointly sponsored by the Association of l niversities and Colleges of Canada ( Al CC) and the Canadian Intercollegiate Athletic l' nion (CIAU). The study is being financed by the Department of National I lealth and Welfare and is endorsed by Sport Canada. The study will examine the role of universities and colleges in contemporary sport. [twill determine the scope of current university athletic programs, both intramural and extramural, and examine their strengths and weaknesses. The philosophy of university administrators with regard to their athletic programs will be examined as will be the inter-relationship of these programs with physical education and other academic programs. While the programs conducted under the auspices of the CIAU and its member organizations will be of direct interest, the study will also examine how these programs relate to those conducted by amateur sport governing bodies at the provincial, national, and international levels. With Canada hosting the 1976 Olympic C ames, timely consideration will be given in this study to the part the universities play in upgrading standards of excellence and how their facilities and their athletes relate to the international scene. Chief investigator in the study is A. W. Matthews, dean emeritus of the faculty of pharmacy, The University of British Columbia. Assistant investigators have yet to be appointed. The study will be advised by a steering committee with wide representation across Canada. Dr. L. 11. Cragg, president of Mount Allison University, New Brunswick, will act as chairman of the committee. In the first phase of the study, submissions will be invited from AUCC member universities and colleges; officials of sport governing bodies; provincial, regional and national athletic associations; and others. At a later stage, many university and college campuses will be visited by the investigators.

President Booth acted on behalf of the Chancellor, the Honourable Mr. Justice Bora Laskin, who was unable to attend the ceremony. In turn, Dean Angus, filling the role normally assigned to the President, acted as the presentor of candidates. 246 graduates nceiveddegrees and diplomas during the ce1emony. Dr. Walter Alvah Samuel ',mith, the Convocation Speaker, was introduced by Department of Psychology Professor Dr. James F . Ev ans. As a student at the U niversity of Alberta, Dr. Evans had studied under Dr. Smith and had formed a friendship with him. Consequently, he was able to infuse his introductory remarks with anecdotes that provided a "personal" context from which to view the speaker. Dr. Smith opened his talk with a mild disclaimer as to the validity of speechmaking. He called it "this ineffectual form of communication" as compared to" ... themost authentic approach to personal communi- -0 ...... > C: 0 u cation . . .. the example of your daily activity and interaction". With tongue firmly in cheek, Dr. Smith blamed his lack of strength of character for his inability to stop " .... this pontifical exhortation". He then called on his audience of graduates to engage with him in a " . . . kind of instant nostalgia about the experiences whose successful completion we celebrate here this afternoon." This nostalgia trip became a spring-board for Dr. Smith to explore facets of university structure and life that he disliked ("the awesome intolerance . . . and arrogance") or enjoyed ("those delightfully impractical and totally endless debates .... ") He used his personal love/hate feelings for universities as a background from which to draw out the good and bad points of the present structure of universities. He called for a move away from the lock-step approach to higher education and for a need to rethink the historical antecedants and contemporary assumptions that cause universities to package knowledge in particular disciplinary ways. He went on to say that, the university, while moving away from elitist modes, must not try to be all things to all people. Rather, a b_asis for restructuring should be worked out that combines both order and a social grouping "in which what Maslow would call the good person can come into being and develop ( and) in which, through the authenticity of daily lives, a valid sense of community can emerge". The ceremony was heavily attended by friends and relatives of the graduates. A reception was held in the Great Hall immediately following the Convocation exercise. �0.1.S.E. Appointment The Honourable Thomas L Wells, Minister of Education for the Province of Ontario has appointed Dr. James T.

The first speaker was 1\1 r. H.S. l>ill{'.y of the Lakehead Ceography Department, who gave an invited paper on "Some Problem Areas in the Teaehing of I listorical Ceograph~·". This paper eonsidered a number of diffieulties faeed by historical geographt•rs in designing and presenting their l'ourses; sul'h as the degree of temporal, spatial and topieal limitation desirable at different levels, the integration of pralil'al and field work and the introduetion of philosophical eoneepts. A strong plea was mad!' for gn•ater emphasis, in historical geograph~· l'ourses, on the critical analysis of data sourl'es and on theoretical model-building, including use of the computer and field-ploller. The paper provoked a remarkably lively discussion for early on a Saturday morning and it was suggested !hat some of the points raised might be considered in grealer depth at laters meetings of this g-roup. I le was initially appointed to the position in l969 when Lakehead Teachers' College was integrated with the University to form the nucleus of the Education Faculty. l I nder Dean Angus' direction, the Lakehead Faculty of Education pioneered the first four-year concurrentteachereducation programme in Ontario, was the first Faculty to offer a full range of elementary and sceondary teacher eertification programmes both concurrently and consecutively and until certifieation regulations caused it to be discontinued, was the only teacher education institution in Ontario to offer a two-year diploma programme for elementary teachers after Grade X 111.

After three years there, he continued his post-graduate studies in theology programme at Lyon in France and at Muenster in Germany. He then returned lo Brazil where he worked in the Leader- ship Training Programmes for Catholic church leaders, and concluded his final year there as professor at the Regional Pastoral Institute for Northern Brazil. He is now a professor in the field of Social Ethics at the Toronto School of Theology. In his lecture, "The Christian Contribution to Man's Search for Liberation", Mr. Ryan will reflect upon the meaning of the various movements of Liberation, not only in terms of the claims that their demands make upon us, but also in terms of the human existence that they draw attention lo, and the dynamics of human history that they assume.

The fund is administered by a Citizen's committee and has the support of virtually all social agencies, churches and other groups interested in an activity of this nature. The actual work involved in assembling, packing and delivering these hampers is performed by volunteers and requires the efforts of several hundred people. The 50 vehicles used for delivery are furnished by local firms. The firemen of Thunder Bay are, this year profiding a substantial sum of money for the purchase of new toys that will bring j-oy to girls and boys who might otherwise have an 'empty' Christmas. Overwhelming support such as this, as well as from schools and churches where canned goods are collected, and from business firms, organizations, service clubs, unions and interested citizens is vital to the success of the Christmas Cheer effort. In order to continue this worthwhile project, an appeal for funds is being made. Contributions can be mailed to Box 1973, Christmas Cheer Fund, Thunder Bay; the newspaper office, 177 Arthur Street, or the Bank of Nova Scotia, Victoria and May Streets. Correction Since the last issue of LU WEEK appeared on campus, we have been hearing rumours to the effect that the Information Office is caught in a time-warp. We wish to state catagorically that this, to the best of our recollection, at this point in time, is not the case. It is true that in our last issue Dr. Charles was identified as being Chairman of the Department of Economics which of course, is not factual - nor has it been since July 1972 when Dr. Jecchinis became Economics Department Chairman. We also had Dr. Charles toiling mightily to maintain a Graduate Diploma programme for foreign students - that programme ceased to exist in June of 1972. Time-warp: no. Mistake: yes. We wish to apologize to Dr. Jecchinis and Dr. Charles for turning the clock back and for any embarrassment our blunder may have caused them. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

University faculty members and local clergymen will act as resource people for the subsequent discussion and participation stimulated by the lecturers. The first speaker will be Gregory Baum who will speak on 'Dreams, Illusion and Faith' on Thursday, November 15th at 8:30 p. m. in the University Centre Theatre. Gregory Baum is already well known in Thunder Bay. He has pioneered thought in the contemporary issues of ecumenism and .Jewish-Christian relationships; and he has recently gained recoghllion for his work in the social sciences and their relationship to theology. He is a member of the Department of Religious Studies, St. Michael's College, the University of Toronto and the Toronto School of Theology. Recently, he spent two years at the New School for Social Research in New York, and since that time his teaching and sociological reflection have been strongly influenced by the dialog.ie with the social sciences. The second speaker in this series will be Tim Ryan who will discuss 'The Christian Contribution to Man's Search for Liberation' on Tuesday, November 27th in the lower Lecture Theatre. Further lectures in the series will be offered after Christmas when arrangements have been finalized.

Includen with the article was this note: " Our office was askoo ... , to send you the enclosoo iriformation about the York/TorontoSeminar on the respoT1Sibilities of universities in the hope that you might find roomfor a report in your ccmpus publication that is distributoo ,o academic staff . . . publication at a'o/ time would be appropriate, as attendance is by invitation, the Seminar will extend overacoT1Siderable period of time, and the sessioTIS are closoo to others, including the press. The purpose of publishing the announcement is simply to make the project known to all members of the academic community in Ontario." A group of 19 professors from York University and the University of Toronto, with a small number of representatives of the wider community, recently began a series of discussions the object of which is a restatement for this decade of the responsibilities of the universities and the conditions necessary to their assumption of these responsibilities. Called the York/Toronto Seminar, the project is an outgrowth of conversations that took place between members of the Higher Education Group of the University of Toronto and a comparable group of York University over the academic year 1972-73. It is being supported by a grant from the Richard Ivey Foundation of London, Ontario. Invited participants include Mr. Justice J.D. Arnup, the Supreme Court of Ontario; Walter L. Gordon, Chancellor, York University, former Minister of Finance, Government of Canada; Christine Newman, Associate Editor, Maclean's Magazine, and John P. Robarts, Chancellor, University of Western Ontario, former Premier of Ontario. The purpose of this project is to develop a statement of the responsibilities and essential requirements of universities -- it might be described as a Bill of Rights and Responsibilities of universities -with particular reference to those in Ontario. It is widely recognized that in society certain conditions must prevail if citizens are to be free men or if there is to be a free press. Similarly there must be recognition of the circumstances which must prevail if a university is to fulfil its role as a center of free inquiry and learning. There is a very great and growing danger that the universities in Ontario will lose that part of their heritage which makes it possible for them to perform those functions which as universities they were created to carry out. The prol)km relates to a changing social situation in which there is continual pub- lie criticism of the universities, increasing governmental control of these institutions, and growing uncertainty within the university of its precise obligations. Few would deny the justification of some of the criticisms or of the need for some government regulation of our universities. Yet it is clear that if continued and intensified these criticisms and controls could lead to restrictions that would hinder, if not prohibit, the traditional work of the university: teaching and research. The central core of the university has always been a devotion to intellectual excellence. At its best the university brought together in a corporate life great minds (both faculty and students) and provided them with unusual freedom and protection to interact and to explore new ideas. The university was not merely to preserve the cumulative knowledge of the past but to discover and create riew knowledge. In this free environment a thin stream of excellence was cultivated and fed into the social system. "Without the (constant) renewal of excellence", Sir Eric Ashby wrote recently, "a nation can drop to mediocrity in a generation." The university has, of course, other obligations but without this central core, it loses its fundamental purpose. In Ontario, at the present time, this devotion to scholarship and to excellence is being seriously challenged. The _Co~mission on Post-Secondary Education m Ontario, in its recent report The Learning Society, ; hows small regard for this tradition. The university, the report seems to imply cannot expect public support for esoteric studies or eccentric scholars. Further, the government's financial interest keeps expanding each year to various phases of the universiiy's operations, including academic and research programs. Government bureaucrats, often of junior rank, make decisions that profoundly affect the life of our universities. Many members of the public are more aware of university problems than of university purposes. In this situation it seems important to state clearly and precisely the responsibilities of universities in modern society and the requirements which must be satisfied, the "rights" which universities mu~t have, if they are to fulfil these responsibilities. This is not to deny the need for change nor to reject the desirability of new programs -- indeed it is to state the new responsi'-- ::ities universities must assume. But it must be said now -- before it is too late -- that if the university is forced to move in certain directions or to give up certain freedoms, it can no longer be considered a university. Such a statement is needed for universities throughout the Western world. One dealing specifically with Ontario universities will be general validity. To reiterate: just as certain conditions must exist if we are to have a free press so must certain other conditions exist if we are to have a free university. To determine and define these conditions is the purpose of this project: to define a Bill of Rights and Responsibilities for Ontario universities. This, of course, is an extremely complex and difficult task. It has not been done before -- in Ontario or in any other jurisdiction. But the attempts must be made. If it succeeds a historic document will result. The project is to be carried out by the Higher Educati0 1 Group of University of Toronto and a comparable group at York University. This is agroupofsenior professors from both universities who have been meeting over the past year to discuss common problems and joint programs of study in higher education. The members of the group are: Dr. Robert S. Harris,ProfessorofHigher Education and University Historian, University of Toronto. Mr. Bertrand L. Hansen, Associate Professor of Higher Education, University of Toronto, and Director of Research, Council of Ontario Universities. Dr. John B. Macdonald, Professor of Higher Education, University of Toronto, and Executive Director, Council of Ontario Universities (former president of University of British Columbia), (CoChairman of the Seminar). Dr. Murray G. Ross, University Professor, York University (former president of York University), (Co-Chairman of the Seminar). Dr. Edward F. Sheffield, Professor of Higher Education and Chairman of the Higher Education Group, University of Toronto. Dr. Richard Storr, Professor of History, York University. Dr. D. McCormack Smyth, Professor of Social Science, York University (former Dean of Atkinson College, York University). Dr. Malcolm G. Taylor, Professor of Administrative Studies, York University (former president of the University of Calgary and of the University of Victoria). In order to finance the seminar the Richard Ivey Foundation of London, Ontario, has provided a grant of$10,000. The plan is to organize a seminar of 25 persons who will meet at approximately fortnightly intervals during the winter of 1973/74, 10 professors from each of th_e University of Toronto and York University, S or 6 persons knowledgea~l.e about the problems of high education but who are not academics -- from the fields of government, business, the arts, the courts, the health professions and the press. In addition, one. g':1est from e~ch of the United States, Bntam and Contmental Europe will be invited to speak to and participate in sessions ea~ly in the series. All regular members will be expected to carry on exploration of. the topic between sessions and the meetmgs themselves must be intensive work sessions. �BUSINESS PROFESSOR WRITES AND SPEAKS An article written by Bernard A. Hodson, Associate Professor of Computer Systems, was published in the October issue of the Canadian IQformation Processing Society Magazine. Entitled "A Basic Approach to Systems Analysis", the article was a precis of Mr. Hodson's book Modern Data Processing for Management recently published by MacMillan of Canada. "The Future is Here Now! was the title of a speech given by Mr. Hodson to members of the Fort William Rotary Club at their October 24th meeting. The October 26th issue of The F ortarian had this to say about Mr. Hodson's address: "Listeners received the impression that they were in on a glimpse at the future and of the person who would have a very significant part in moulding it, particularly in the field of computer applications. Mr. Hodson has developed a computer product that will be making a substantial impact on the computer industry." YOU NEVER CAN TELL····· Mr. L. S. Lamba is taking his English 348 - Kenora - class to a production of George Bernard Shaw's 'You Never Can Tell' in Winnipeg on Saturday, November 10th. ENROLMENT PICTURE On October 24, the Minister of Colleges ~nd Universities announced that prelimmary reports from universities indicate a possible increase in December 1 full-time enrolment of about 3%. Compared to last year's undergraduate total of 121,212 this year's may be 124,940 or within 1% of the number projected. First year enrolment may reach 37,312, almost 5% more than in 1972-73, despite a decrease in Grade 13 enrolment for the past two years. Many enrolment reporting officers have indicated a shift in undergraduate enrolments toward professional and career-oriented programs. Enrolments in commerce and finance and engineering are up at several universities. Many stopouts who took time out between high school and university have resumed their studies with career-oriented goals which are reflected in their choice of programs. Full-time graduate enrolment may reach 13,305 compared to 13,128 in 1972-73. The enrolment picture for part-time students is far from clear with some universities reporting increases and others decreases or a steady state. However, some increase is expected when the final counts are submitted early in November.

The Duluth office of the National TelePrompter Corporation ( cable television) has offered to help the Lake Superior Association of Colleges and Universities develop a co-operative network for' cablecast' teaching to serve all Consortium institutions. In brief, a faculty member from one institution would tape Jectures in his specialty which would then by duplicated, sent to area affiliates, and played simultaneously as the core lecture in a regular academic course for all Association students.The programme offers some exciting possibilities for sharing resources and overcoming the disadvantages of geographical separation. Faculty Directory The Association will soon begin compilation of a directory of faculty according to special research or teaching interests to assist those with similar concerns in getting together. The Consortium is also looking into the possibility of a directory of course offering, by discipline, for all six Association insitutions. Linguistics Professor Edith Hols, UMD Department of English, would liketohearfromfaculty with an interest in linguistics. Professor Hols is currently developing a minor in comparative linguistics at UMD. Adio-Visual Catalogue C. M. Milbrath, Department of Secondary Education at UJ\1D, is heading an Association committee to study the possibilities of developing a computerized index catalogue for all non-print material held by the Association. This would represent a great advance over the common practice of cataloging by accession number, dates or media mode.

The Committee meets each year with the provincially assisted universities visiting the campuses on an annual rotating basis. Each year some universities meet the Committee on another university's campus. The Committee had last visited Lakehead in the fall of 1970. At our meeting on the 16th, we formally presented our Fall 1973 Brief to the Committee. The Brief contained items of special interest to the Llniversity as well as answers to the specific questions previously sent to us by the Committee. Through the Briefs submitted by the universities and through the meetings, the Committee on University Affairs attempts to obtain, as stated by the Chairman, Dr. Reva Gerstein, "such substantive arguments and documentation which will strengthen the case for an adequate global financial figure for the entire system." The Committee, which is an advisory body to the C overnment, recommends on such items as the Basic Income l I nit Value, any extra-formula grants universities sh~uld receive and on requests for approval of new academic programmes. We previously requested the approval of, for example, our Bachelor of Arts/Bachelor of Social Work programme and our Honours Bachelor of Science in l\1edical Laboratory Sciences programme. Both of these were approved and were introduced this year. We did not submit requests in this year's Brief for approval of any new programmes. At our meeting,Ahe topics which espedally interested members of the Committee were the extensive co-operation between Confederation College and the l lniversity; mobility of students particularly from technology programmes to degree programmes; our deferred credit system; reactions of universities to changing student preferences; and research support for faculty members in Departments which do not have the research support of graduate students. Following the Meeting, the Committee _joined representatives of the University at an informal luncheon and later Dr. Booth took the members on a tour of our campus. GRADUATE SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAMME Last issue LU Week reported the implementation of a new OntarioGraduateScholarship Programme which will provide $3 million to assist one thousand of outstanding academic ability topursuegraduate studies at Ontario universities. Each of Ontario's 15 provincially assisted universities will nominate ten students for these scholarships and the chosen scholars will take graduate studies at the university which nominates them. LU Dean of Students, .I ohn !\err, has circulated material pertaining to the C raduate Scholarship Programme to the Chairman of those departments which offer graduate studies. Dean Kerr has also sent letters about the programme to all full and part-time honours students. lie asks that all students intending to apply to the programme check with his office so that application errors can be avoided. The deadline for applications is December 1st. The committee that will review the applications and choose the final ten candidates consists of: The Dean of Arts, the Dean of Science, the Registrar, and the Chairman of the Graduate Studies Committee. The committee will be chaired by the Dean of Students and Mrs. Bobby Hannah, Assistant to the Dean of Students, will act as secretary. The scholarships will provide$800 a term plus graduate tuition and related fees for either two or three consecutive terms. The maximum award undertheprogrammeis approximately $3,500. Applicants for scholarships must have a very high level of academic achievement with first class standing in their major subject areas. ENGINEERING CHAIRMAN PRESENTS PAPER Dr. George K. Fleming, Chairman of the School of Engineering was invited to present a paper to the Symposium on Computers in Science and Industry organized by the members of the Sheridan Park re- search community.

The Councils brief to the Commission, prepared by the Committee on Research and Planning, was presented early in 1971, and subsequently published in book form by McClelland and Stewart under the title Towards 2000. Reactions to the Commission's Draft Report from the Council and various COU committees and affiliates were published in May, 1972 under the title Responses. When the final report of the Commission was published at the end of 1972, COU again asked its Committee on Research and Plan- ning to assist with the preparation of the COU response, and at the September, 1973, meeting, the Council approved its response to the report. This latest document undertakes a selective rather than comprehensive treatment of the report, since opinions on most of the matters in the reportwhichconcern the universities had already been expressed in the earlier documents. The latest document isolates a few subjects believed to be of particular i nportance: the place occupied by high standards of quality in the Commission's priorities; the structure of the system; the financing of the system, especially the proposal relating to research financing; student aid; and the place of examinations in licensing for professional practice. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Wilson Department of History The sixth congress of the International Association for the Advancement of Educational Research was held in Paris from September 3-7 at the University of Paris (Dauphine), the former NATO building. Eight hundred delegates from fifty-eight countries were in attendance. Conferences of this association are held every four years; previous ones were convened in Warsaw, Cambridge, Oslo and Florence. In many ways the association represents a European version of the American Education Research Association, except that it does not meet annually. There also seemed to be some difference of opinion among conference organizers at this meeting as to whether the association should serve as a learned society or as a pressure group promoting the interests of public education, in this case in France, this year's host country. The conference was officially opened by Mme. SuzannePloux,Secretary of State, representing the Minister of Education. It was clear from remarks made at that time that the French conference organizers were seeking every opportunity to use the presence of so many foreign scholars, assembled in Paris to discuss various aspects of education, as a lever against the French ministry of education. Over half the delegates came from France, and so, although international in scope, the conference was clearly dominated both in language used and viewpoint by the French. Two days before the conference opened, an article in Le Figaro underlined the political pressure of the organizers when it spoke of the "lack of interest" of the authorities and of French public opinion in the science of education, which it described as "a embryonic but growing discipline" in France. This state of affairs sharply contrasted, the article continued, with the well developed state of the educational sciences abroad, "especially in North America, Great Britain and the countries of Eastern Europe." This assessment was certainly borne out by my own experience at the conference. The French in particular were show- ing great excitement about the need for "education totale", "education permanente", "educating the whole child", employing different sorts of modern media in the classroom, self-learning, and especially exploring "the discipline of education in a scientific way": all of this as if these ideas were brand .new. Anyone familiar with the study of education in North America over the past ten or twenty years had a very distinct impression of deja vu. In my own commission (History of Education, only one of twelve commissions ranging from curriculum studies to communication arts to comparative education), the concern with tired-out topics was equally apparent. What passed for educational history was really largely the history of educational thought mixed with a little institutional history. Diderot, Rousseau, La Chalotais, Comenius-suchnames were the order of the day. Our own panel (Dahlie, U.B.C., Jaenen, Ottawa, and myself) on minority education in Canada touched on issues quite removed from the bulk of the papers in the commission, although, be it said at the same time, our papers were well received. The motives behind the introduction of universal schooling and its subsequent effects, changing concepts of childhood, education as a vehicle of social control, and such topics which hold current interest for North American educational historians, were completely foreign to this meeting. For their part the East European scholars seemed most intent of trying to convince us "Westerners" that Marx held the secret to all problems facing educators today. In fact one of the Czech scholars in my commission was not in the least nonplussed when stating that in Czechoslovakia "we teach our students to question everything and then to act on the basis of the conclusion they come to." His memory of August, 1968, was indeed short! One can see, I think, how little of academic value I gained from the conference. I would question the value of sending Canadians - at least in my discipline _- to such conferences where the level of research and topics of interest seem to be one, or tw odecades behind North America. Education as a discipline is clearly much more a weak sister in Europe than here - and1 that is saying something! The only plenary, session speaker of any merit, or interest for that matter, was from the United States. - Dr. William M Birenbaum, President of Staten Island Community College of City University of New York. At the outset of his address he swept aside as meaningless in today's world all the rhetoric about• education encased in fine "scientific" jargon - precisely the sort of claptrap we1 were getting every day from the French and East European delegates. He then went. on to relate in cold, hard terms the real problems facing educators today and offered: some hard choices in the age of mass education. Unfortunately there was little evidence to me that his hard-hitting speech had made the impact it should have. On the brighter side, there is some merit, I suppose, in the individual contacts one makes with educators and scholars from Latin Amerca, Europe, Asia, and Africa. I had memorable discussions with individuals from Zaire, Poland, Bulgaria, Finland, South Africa, Brazil, Iran, Yugoslavia and France. There is also some merit in showing the flag. Finland, for example, was well represented with somefifty delegates, while there was only one person from Sweden. This disparitywasnotedand mentioned to. me by sev9"al aelegates. The proceedings of the History of Education commission, including the three Canadian papers, are being collected by Professor Vial of the University of Caen, and are to be published in due course. Resumes of all the papers in each of the twelve commissions were published prior to the conference under the title L' Apport des Sciences F ondamentales aux Sciences de L'&lucationjThe Contribution of Fundamental Sciences to &lucational Sciences (336 pp.), and may be obtained from Cercle de la Llbrairie, 117 Boulevard SaintGermain, 75006 Paris, France. �Consortium News The first meeting of the Lake Superior Association of Colleges and Universities Coordinating Council was held on October 4, in Duluth.

It is anitcipated that cross-registration, summer school, enviromental studies, Native American studies, and continuing education will be subjects for early discussion. .I oint Graduate Programmes The University of Wisconsin System Central Administration recently recommended regional groupings of certain Wisconsin institutions for the purpose of interinstitutional planning of graduate programmes. The University of WisconsinSuperior is to develop programme planning and review through the Lake Superior Association of Colleges and Universities. The Board of Trustees of the Association, in a meeting held on October 2, hailed the opportunity for regional and cooperative graduate programme development. At the University of Wisconsin-Superior the l'W System Central Administration has recommended the phasing out of eight graduate programmes - 15 existing programmes are being retained. Those being phased out include Master of Science in Teaching programmes in Sociology, French, German, Economics, Political Science, Chemistry, Geology and Geography. According to Dr. Karl W. Mayer, chancellor at UWS, it is assumed that graduate capabilities in the phased out programmes will be taken into account during the process of regional planning through the Lake Superior consortium. Student Affairs "Student Affairs - A Regional Approach" is the title of a conference to be held on the campus of the UW-Superior on November 15. Co-sponsored by the Association and UW-Superior, t!H' conference is intended for professionals and administrators and will feature a workshop format dealing with the various student affairs areas. Graduate Scholarship Programme A new Ontario Graduate Scholarship Programme was recently announced by the Minister of Colleges and Universities,.lack McNie. In 1974-75 the $3 million programme will assist one thousand students of outstanding academic ability to pursue graduate studies at Ontario universities. The scholarships will provide $800 a term plus graduate tuition and related fees for either two or three consecutive terms. Students must apply by December l, 1973 to be considered for scholarships commencing in May or September, 1974 or January, 1975. Ten students will nominated for scholarships by each of Ontario's 15 provincially assisted universities. Thesescholarswill take graduate studies at the university which nominates them. The other 850 scholars will be nominated by a seven-member selection board appointed by the Minister of Colleges and l I niversities and made up of senior faculty members from Ontario universities. The scholars selected by the board will be able to pursue their graduate studies at any of the provincially supported universities in Ontario and will be able to transfer from one Ontario university to another during the tenure of their award. The new program replaces the Ontario Graduate Fellowship Program and is different from the fellowship program in several significant ways. Applicants for scholarships must have a very high level of academic achievement with first class standing in their major subject areas. Previously, second class standing was the minimum qualification. Under the new programme, scholarships may be awarded for graduate studies in all disciplines excepttheology.Graduate studies in medicine, dentistry, education, home economics, social work, journalism and public and business administration were excluded under the previous fellowship programme. The maximum award under the fellowship programme was $2,250 for three terms. Under the Ontario Graduate Scholarship Program the maximum award for three terms is approximately $3,500. Allowance for part-time teaching or research assistantships is also more generous under the new programme. The Ontario Graduate Scholarship Program is intended primarily for Canadian citizens. Preference will be given to Ontario residents. The new programme has been developed in consultation with the Council of Ontario Universities and the Committee on University Affairs. �The Canadian Theatre Review, a new quarterly journal devoted to analyzing theatre activities in Canada, will begin publication this coming January.

Students and teachers of French at all levels and the few thousand people of the region who speak French at home will be able to watch and contribute to their own programme. Dans le Sillon des V <ry"ageurs will be screened on Channel 7 cable television on Tuesday evenings at 8:30 p.m., commencing October 30. It will be re-boradcast at other times during the week, as listed in the TV Guide. This is a community project designed to fill a local need. Concerned at the lack of CBC or commercial television coverage at the Lakehead in Canada's "other" official language, two university professors, Alain Nabarra and David Lewis, approached the federal and provincial governments and local interestgroupswith a plan for six month's broadcasting, using the community television channel provided by Maclean-Hunter Limited. They were encouraged in their efforts by grants from both governments and the French-Canadian Club of Thunder Bay. "This is not a university project", says Professor Lewis, "although we were gratified at the practical help and the encouragement we received from the university. • It is an open communi~y venture, an opportunity for group projects by schools and students of French. We want the schools and French-Canadian groups to come forward with their proposals. This must be a busy programme showing the life of the community, not a studio sit-in." of help by persons willing to become project directors. Our aim is to produce enough material for a lively magazine programme every week, although we shall alternate these shows with a film series at first. We already have programmes planned on cultural life in Quebec, on Europe and Africa, on the attitudes to biculturalism of Thunder Bay citizens and even on points of grammar. Teachers are planning cooking demonstrations in French specially for elementary students. There's no shortage of ideas; it's practical help we want now to make this project really take off." Members of the organizing team are no newcomers to community projects. Alain Nabarra has been running a radio programme in French for three years. David Lewis is a former president of Thunder Bay Symphony and serves on the modern language committee ofLakehead Board of Education. The team is completed by Mrs. Elinor Barr, who has long experience with the Symphony women's committee and its TV Bingo fund-raising, and Ronald Bourret of the French-Canadian Club, who this year completes his degree in French and Sociology. In addit=on to generous help from Maclean-Hunter, the group has offers of technical assistance from Monitor North, a local Initiatives Programme camera team; and Bob Angel, instructor in television arts at Hammarskjold High School. Mr. Nabarra will shortly be going to Montreal to make contacts for the programme and plan four shows with Dr. Reginald Hamel, the well-known author and broadcaster on life and letters in French Canada. Raymond Blanchette, federal aduu, istrator of cultural affairs, welcomes this initiative. "Both the CBC and the federal government are following the project closely. There's never been anything quite like it before among the projects we have sponorsed. This pilot is of interest to cultural minority groups across the nation. It's a national first for Thunder Bay." "Our most urgent need at present", says Alain Nabarra, "is to obtain offers HELP THE UNITED WAY Donald E. Ayre, Secretary of the University and United Way chairman for Thunder Bay, is concerned. He's concerned for all l'1e people who need help and hope to get it from funds provided by the United Way campaign. He's concerned that many of these people who need help won't get it because time is running out and the United Way might not reach its ob- jective. You should be concerned, too. So, get up off your good intentions and support the United Way. NO.

Charles, P1 ,fessor of the Department of Economics, entitled "The Power of Negative Thinking and Other Parables from Jndia". Based on a series of talks given by him in New York, the book attempts to show the extent to which the values and traditions of lndia'sancient culture have a surprising relevance to the issues and problems of our contemporary world. He does this through parables, mostly drawn from the rich store-house of Hindu mythology and folk-lore, though there are some parables here which are from the author's own imagination. One of the recurrent themes of the book is that the negative is integrally related to the positive; emotions like fear and courage happiness and sorrow, love and hate, far from being dichotomous are relatd to each other in a dialectical way. The recognition accorded to the negative in Indian culture, in the author's view, is one of its commendable features. Hence .'.H title, The Power of Negative Thinking. In this book he expresses the concern of the economist for man's happiness and his moral and spiritual development. The book is available in the University Bookstore. John Kerr, Dean of Students, Dan Kleemola and Ed Burk. Dan Kleemola, a fourth year LU Chemistry student, recently recieved a 750dollar Scholarship from the Allied Chemical Company.

Mr. Hodson, to whom the Vice-President of IBM Canada has publically referred as one of three Canadians with vision and the ability to get things done that others in the computer industry felt were impossible, took a critical but constructive stance in his review. Mr. Hodson and A.G. Gardiner - consulting economist and part-time lecturer in ecomonics in the LU Department of Economics - recently co-authored an article entitled "Can Hardware Logic Solve Software Waste?" for the October 20th issue of the Financial Post. In the article, Hodson and Gardiner critically examine the philosphy of special-purpose computer programming and make a strong case for a move to general-purpose programming.

The purpose of the column is to keep Canadians informed of new developments in medicine and science, and to comment on trends or current controversies in the arts or the social sciences. Columns already published or completed have dealt with research on drugs, a new theory and approach to psychoanalysis, a recent statistical study of elites and pressure groups in Canada and a literary controversy. Maclean's expects, and rightly so, that the success of their column will depend heavily on a regular flow of information from across the country - and universities should be one of their main sources of material. Consequently, Maclean's has enjoined the LU Information Office to provide that magazine with information about research being done here, about books or other works in progress, and about personalities and their achievements. Requests, like this one from Maclean's, are an almost daily occurrence at the LU Info Office. So let us know what you're up to and we"ll pass the information along.

LU Flier Races to Strong Finish Back in the days when flying was a risky, seat-ofthe-pants adventure, the men who flew were often called (among other things) "intrepid". That term is seldom used today as flying has progressed to the point of mechanical boredom. But here, at LU, there lurks at least one "intrepid" flier. His name is Guy Davis - a computer centre staff member. Guy piloted a fabric-covered CHAMPION CITABRIA to a seventh place finish in the recent Great Burlington Centennial Seaplane Race. The GBCS Race - the first race of its kind held in Canada contained three "legs": Burlington to Kenora, Kenora to Ottawa and Ottawa to Burlington. Guy, who has a commercial license and instructor rating, logged 25 airborne hoursduringthethr_ee day event - including a gruelling 14 hour stint �on the first leg - and garnered the Minaki Lodge (Kenora) Tivphy as first leg winner. The single engine, two-seater CHAMPION CITABRIA - originally built in 1935 and now owned by the Thunder Bay Flying Club - has no instruments except a compass. Consequently, Guy sight-flew the course to his seventh place finish (out of 48 entrants) and picked up a 1,000 dollar cheque for his efforts - not quite enough to cover expenses but then, "intrepid" fliers like Guy Davis don't do it for the money. Finnish Lecturer Arrives Miss Maija Kainulainen, a Helsinki University graduate student, has joined LU's Language Department. She will lecture at the newly instituted Finnish language and culture courses being offered here. LU - in direct response to a request from the community - is the first Canadian University to include Finnish courses in its programme. The request for courses of this nature came as a result of the work of Mrs. T. Kohara, who has implemented Finnish programmes at Hillcrest and Hammarskjold high schools, and Mr. E. Peterson, Chairman of the Finnish School Committee. At present there are 93 students studying Finnish as a second language in Thunder Bay. The LU courses will allow these students, as well as other members of the community, to continue their studies. The local Finnish population of approximately l 0,000 is the largest in Canada. Negotiations were undertake'n with the Finnish government who have provided Miss Kainulainen as a lecturer for the course. New Liason Officer Mrs. Susan De Haas was installed, in early August, as LU's Liaison Officer. She, along with other members of the University Information Programme, is currently travelling to high schools across the province where she explains LU and area to interested students and guidance staff. Mrs. De Haas received her B.A. in French from the University of Guelph and her Honours in French and English from Lakehead University. As well, she has completed her Masters (English) to thesis here. Students Shine For Cystic Fibrosis LU nurses and foresters got together and staged a Shinerama last Friday, September 21st to raise money for Cystic Fibrosis. They, along with other LU students, brushed and polished their way to $4,454 dollars for the cause - leaving no shoe unshined in their efforts to make the most out of a couple of feet. Committee On University Affairs At LU The Committee on University Affairs will be meeting in the LU Senate Chamber on October 16. The Committee, which acts as a Government ad- visory body, is, this year, moving across the province from university to university - eliciting answers to questions, covering a broad spectrum of university related affairs, previously submitted to each university. A brief is presently being readied to answer the Committee's questions about LU. It will also cover several topics of special interest to this university not covered by the Committee's inquiries; including sections dealing with extra formula funding, LU's extension programme, early university entrance for exceptional children and the Confederation College/ LU co-operative BA/BSW programme. World Report Premieres World Report began its new season on CTNO-TV Channel Seven last Tuesday, September 25th at 7:30 p.m. Hosted by LU's Dr. Chris Jecchinis and Dr. E. Zimmerman, the programme, which will be a weekly feature, deals with national and international news. This live presentation features audience participation by telephone. Combined Biology Field Trip During the week of August 6, Dr. Ozburn of the Biology Department participated-along with professors from Wisconsin State University - in the presentation of a wilderness Biology course. This course, available to students of the newly formed Lake Superior Association of Colleges and Universities was held on Isle Royale. Students and staff rendezvoused at Grand Portage for the trip to Washington Harbor on the vessle "Wenonah". Upon arrival and subsequent signing in with the ranger, subgroups backpacked to various points of biological interest at the western end of the park. Dr. Ozburn's group hiked the Minong Ridge Trail to Lake Desar where time was spent observing moose feeding habits. Other animal and plant life was observed along the route. On the return trip to Washington Harbor, a side trail to Hugginnin Cove was explored. In addition to the wild life observed, a number of old copper mines - likely the original reason for the trails, were examined. To earn their credit, the students were required to keep a log of all activities including observations arising from the discussion on the wilderness areas visited. Upon return these logs were then transcribed into a report for submission to obtain a grade. Dr. Ozburn hopes that in the future, Lakehead University students may have the opportunity of participating in courses of this nature as a result of our involvement in the consortium.

ALL STUDENTS WHO WILL BE GRADUATING THIS YEAR ARE URGED TO REGISTER WITH THE STUDENTPLACEMENT OFFICE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE AS MOST ON-CAMPUS RECRUITING WILL OCCUR BETWEEN NOW AND CHRISTMAS. A SCHEDULE IS POSTED ON THE BULLETIN BOARD OUTSIDE THE OFFICE AND IT WOULD BE TO YOUR ADVANTAGE TO BE AWARE OF WHAT OPPORTUNITIES ARE AVAILABLE. Parking Committee The new members of the Parking Committee are Dr. N.A. Weir, appointed by the Lakehead University Faculty Association; Mr. J.D.M. Robson, appointed by the Lakehead University Students' Union; and Mrs. Geraldine Service, appointed by the President to represent the Administrative Staff. Members of the Committee normally serve for a two-year term. The Parking Committee has the authority to establish and amend parking regulations, to review and decide on appeals, and to recommend parking fees to the Board of Governors for ifs approval. The parkingfeestructurewhichwas recommended by the last Committee andapprovedbytheBoard of Governors is as follows: (i) For permits valid from October 1st, 1973 to August 31st, 1974 Faculty/Staff Vehicle $15.00 Full-time Student Vehicle $15.00 Residence Student Vehicle$15.00 Part-time Student Vehicle $ 5.00 Motorcycle, scooter, etc. $ 5.00 Visitor's Vehicle $15 .00 (Unlimited entry) (ii) For permits valid from May 1, 1974 to August 31, 1974, the fee is $5.00. (iii) For permits valid from July 1, 1974 to August 31, 1974, the fee is $2.50. �(iv) For a temporary visitor's permit, valid for the date issued, the fee is 25¢. The increase in fees is intended to offset increases in salaries and in charges for electricity and contracted services (e.g. snow removal). Parking must be a self-supporting operation. The 1972-73 year of operation resulted in a deficit which has had to be carried forward. The 1973/74 Traffic and Parking Regulations come into effect on September 1, 1973. Parking permits for 1973/74 are required by October 1, 1973. Copies of the Traffic and Parking Regulation and Applications for permits are available from the Securty Office. Some of the highlights of the 1973/74 Traffic and Parking Regulations include: i) unrestricted parking (i.e. all permits) in the ot near the Regional School of Nursing Building, the lot between the library and the Residences and the lot beside the Centennial Building. In the past, the Regulations provided for each lot to be restricted to Faculty and Staff or to Students. (ii) parking in the Agoro Circle is restricted to vehicles with temporary visitors' permits. (iii) the parking permits are backtothetype to be affixed to the inside of the window. (iv) "wheel blocks" will continue to be in use. Cancellation of parking privileges will result from damage to or unauthorized removal of a "wheel block." I Co-operative Library System The June issue of C.O.U.'s Monthly Review reported that C.O.U. has approved the establishment of a Co-operative Library System for the fourteen provincially assisted Ontario Universities. The main activities of this system would be: 1. The creation of a Union Catalogue or Union Data Bank of holdings of Ontario University Libraries designed to provide a variety of bibliographical and processing functions more efficiently, easily and hopefully more economically than is possible at present. 2. To investigate the feasibility of Depository Library, i.e. a centralised store for the deposit of little used material which would be available on loan to any of the libraries concerned, and to survey the cost of such a depository, and the possible resulting savings in capital expenditure. 3. To establish an office for the Ontario University Libraries Co-operative System with a Director who would act as the pivot of the system and provide the necessary co-ordination of effort and provide the necessary co-ordination of effort. The office would act as a centre for information both on the system and on more general library matters. 4. To continue existing co-operative schemes already launched by co-operation between two or more libraries and to develop these. They include a Government Document project, a Union List of Serials project, a Subject Authority project and a Map project. A Monograph Demonstration rroject is proposed to examine the possibility o such a province- wide Union Data Bank and its associated services. Lakehead is not one of the six in the experiment but will stand to benefit from the lessons learned from it. If it is successful and shows that the service can be extended to all of the university libraries the advantages could be farreaching. C.O.U. has now announced the appointment of the Director of the Co-operative System. He is Dr. Ralph Stierwalt, Assistant Director of Libraries/ Processing Division, University of Western Ontario. In the coming year Dr. Stierwalt will devote only a limited part of his time to the work of the Office under a secondment arrangement but will take overfull-time in 1974. Assisting Dr. Stierwalt during the initial year will be Mr. Larry Porter, Assistant Librarian for Systems nnd Development, University of Guelph, serving on a secondment basis until June, 1974. Credit Union Notice All Lakehead University employees are reminded that they are eligible to be members of the Thunder Bay Educational Employees' Credit Union Limited which serves employees and relatives of employees of all educational institutions in the Lakehead area. T.B.E.E.C.U. has recently moved into new premises at Suite C, Ruttan Block, 4 Court Street, Thunder Bay "P" (opposite Eaton's). Office hours are 1:45 p.m. to 5:45 p.m. weekdays. The Secretary-Manager is Mr. Dave Joyal and the phone number is 344-2233. The Credit Union offers facilities for interest-earning savings and low cost loans. Payroll deduction is available to University members who complete application formalities before the end of September. Further information may be obtained from University officers of the Credit Union: Walter Bilyk MB-1043B (ext. 407), Dave Elliot MB-1061 (ext. 438) or Tom Harris RB-1011 {ext. 303). Published Dr. Pradip Sarbadhikari, Department of Political Studies, has returned from his sabbatical leave during ·which he published a book under the title "New Nationalism and International Society" (World Press). This volume studies the trends towards conflict both within Western and Third World states focussing on contemporary movements towards international co-operation suggested by recent developments in global diplomacy. Essentially, the book investigates the paradox of nationalism as ennunciated by Karl Deutsch "while nationalism has grouped people apart from each other, at the same time it is preparing them for a more thorough going world wide unity than has ever been seen in human history." Dr. Sarbadhikari also published a chapter entitled "Towards a Foreign Policy of Bangladesh" in a volume called "West Bengal and Bangladesh. Perspectives from 1972", by Michigan State Universtiy, which also contains contributions by Stephen Clarkson (Toronto), Richard Tabora (Harvard), and Barrie Morrison (U.B.C.). �' Dr. Brian J.

Bauman read a paper entitled "Input and output interference in schizophrenic short-term memory". Mr. Eugene Kolisnyk is second author of this paper and is a graduate of Lakehead University in the Department of Psychology. Language Department David W. Lewis, Associate Professor of Modern Languages, returns to the Department of Languages after a sabbatical year spent in France In June 1973, the University of Paris (Sorbonne) awarded Professor Lewis a mention tres honorable for his doctoral theses on the 19thcentury French poet Verlaine. In his study, Poesie et conscience chez Paul Verlaine, Professor Lewis examines the creative processes of a poet who, with Baudelaire, Mallarme and Rimbaud, became a hero of the Symbolist movement. Verlaine's work is diverse. Its numerous variants and his well-documented life show that, both as man and as artist, he sometimes sought to create a fa~ade, to delude himself and his reader. His finest work, with its characteristic musicality and fragile evocative imagery, demonstrates superb craftsmanship, yet retains a na'ive, spontaneous quality based on a poignant search for clues to the enigma of existence. Apart from his teaching and research, David Lewis will be co-operating with Alain Nabarro in production of the Thunder Bay television programme in French, Dans le Sil/on des Voyageurs, for which federal and provincial grants were recently awarded. The programme will be shown weekly on Channel 7. Philosophical Appointment Professor R.C.S. Ripley of the Department of Philosophy was elected to the Board of Directors of the Canadian Philosophical Association at its Annual Congress at Queen's University, June 4-8, 1973, where he delivered a paper, "A Theory of Volition". lnJuly hewasappointedtothe Board of RefereesofpapersfortheC.P.A.1974Congress in Toronto.

LU Alumni Lakehead University Alunmi cordially invites all faculty, staff, potential 73-74 graduates and especially students who will be graduating during the 1973 Fall Convocation, to attend the first Annual Oktoberfest on October 5, at 9 p.m., in the Main Cafeteria. Tickets may be obtained at the L.U.S.U. office or by telephoning the Alumni office at extension 732 between 12 noon and 4 p.m. culmination of the Polish commemorations of the 500'th anniversary of the birth of Copernicus. The particular set of meetings that Dr. Griffith attended was concerned with the stability of small stellar systems and of the solar system. He presented a paper on escape and .capture conditions for the n-body problem, dealing with equations from which the possibility of the escape of a particular body (star or planet) from a system of n such bodies or its capture by n other bodies can be decided. At the seminar it was pointed out that such theoretical equations are of great benefit to those astronomers engaged in computer aided simulations of the orbits of bodies such as asteroids, stellar clusters or galacies. These astronomers need a set ofcriteriatodecidewhether particular bodies have really escaped from or been captured by the system of n bodies, or it, after many more hours of expensive computing time (equivalent to perhaps millions of years of real time), the apparent escape or capture would prove to be false. To the excess computing time has to be added the limited region of space that can be simulated within the computer, and less precise criteria than those derived by Dr. Griffith are already in use by astronomers. Dr. Griffith was elected to membership in the International Astronimical Union. m,e eY.!O September 30 Wednesday October 3 Q . ~ Te<hnidan, A,so<~tio, will meet at 7:30 p.m. in the Library Technology Departmental LAB Room L-5022.

It is the responsibility of the student to contact the landlords who have registered with the Off-Campus Housing Office. Library's New "Tattle Tape" Over the past year losses by reason of unrecorded borrowings and non-return of items by a few readers have continued to cause difficulties and dissatisfaction to the majority of library users and much extra work for library staff. In order to cut these "unofficial borrowings", an elec:tronic check will be instituted as early as possible in the new academic year to replace the personal check by commissionaire at the exit. This will call the circulation staff's attention to any material being taken out of the library which has not been officially recorded. The system is produced by 3M Company and is known as 'Tattle Tape'. It has been introduced with good results in a large number of libraries including Guelph University, University of Minnesota at Duluth, State University College, New Paltz, N.Y., Fanshawe College, London, Ontario. We are sure our library users will accept it for what it actually is - a necessary check to ensure that the stock of the library is maintained in circulation and is available for use by all. Commencing Monday, September 17, 1973 Library Hours will be as follows: Monday through Friday 8:30 a.m. to 12 midnight Saturday 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Sunday 2:00 p.m. to l 0:00 p.m. LU Bookstore The Lakehead University Bookstore stocks all required textbooks for courses offered by the University, as well as an extensive selection of recommended and peripheral reading material.

Student Awards The Government of Ontario announced on April 13th that financial aid to students in post-secondary education will be substantially increased in the 1973-74 fiscal year. Budgetary estimates allow $38.4 million for the Ontario Student Awards Program, Ontario Graduate Fellowships Program, and high school bursaries. In 1972-73 the budget was $27 million. Higher Exemption for Academic Awards In previous years all awards in excess of $150 were considered as resources in the assessment of an Ontario Student Award. This year the limit has been increased to the level of a student's tuition and incidental fees. An ARTS student at Lakehead University, for example, would be allowed to receive $665 before it affected his Ontario Student Award. It is hoped that the higher exemption will encourage scholarship and academic excellence. Improved Parental Allowances The parental contribution tables have been modified to help offset increased cost of living for those families with children in post-secondary education. Additional relief is provided in the new contribution tables for families with two or more children in post-secondary education. Adependent student's Award could increase by as much as 30% or more under the new regulations. Miscellaneous Allowances Miscellaneous allowances have been increased by 10%. Such would make a difference of about $30 on a student's Ontario Student Award at Lakehead University. Married Students Assessment procedures now reflect the increased cost of living by a higher maintenance allowance of $3400 versus $3000 in previous years. Other changes include an increase in allowable babysitting costs, a more generous assessment of student summer earnings, and allowances for children based on age. Independent Clause Students who have worked a total of 24 consecut~c months in full-time employment may elect for independent status from their families. They will be eligible for up to $1400 in Canada Student Loan. Modified Group 'A' Students Students who, prior to the first month of registration: (a) have completed three successful years of study at an eligible post-secondary institution; or (b) have spent three periods of twelve consecutive months as a full-time member of the work force; or (c) have a combination of successful academic years and periods of twelve consecutive months in the work force totalling three years. are assessed in the same manner as Group A students except that an additional basic deduction is made against the gross parental income in the need assessment process. For Group A Modified applicants with three years work/education history th€ additional deduction is $5000;forthose with four or more years, it is $6000. Aid to Part-time Students A pilot program for loans to part-time students is now being offered thro1Jgh the co-operation of the Ontario government and certain Canadian banks. Loons are interest-bearing from the date of negotiation. Reparment commences 10 months ofter t~e date o negotiation or 2 months after the end of the student's course whichever occurs first. A minimum of $100 to a 11aximum of $600 may be borrowed. Applications for assistance and counselling relation to a student's eligibility are available from the staff in the Deon of Student's Office.

In honour of the occasion, and in recognition ·of Senator Paterson's outstanding contribution to Lakehead University as its founding Chancellor, 1965-1971, the University will confer upon him the degree of Doctor of Civil Law (honoris causa) in a Special Convocation Ceremony at 4:00 p.m., 2 August, 1973, in his home at 500 Wilbrod Street, Ottawa, Ontario. Although Senator Paterson has not held permanent residence in Thunder Bay since accepting his Senate appointment in 1940, his presence continues to be felt in the imposing grain elevators and massive shipping industry which he was most instrumental in founding since first arriving in the Lakehead in 1908. Born in Portage la Prairie, Manitoba, 3 August, 1883, Senator Paterson was educated in local public schools and at the Wellesley School in Toronto. He began his career with the Manitoba Railway and Canal Company in 1897, later joining the Great Northern Railway of Canada as telegrapher and rising to the position of purchasing agent before resigning in 1903 to go into the grain business with his father. In 1908, he founded and organized N.M. Paterson and Company, Limited, now succeeded by N.M. Paterson and Sons,, Limited, owners and operators of large numbers of grain elevators in Ontario, Manitoba and Saskatchewan, aswell as many freighters on the Great Lakes. In addition to his business accomplishments, Senator Paterson has been responsible for considerable public contribution in Thunder Bay. He was alderman of the City of Fort William in 1919. He helped organize the Canadian Club and the Fort William Ski Club. He donated his home to McKellar Hospital in Fort William and a Cobalt Bomb Installation to Port Arthur General Hospittal. Even in his absence he has continued his active citizenship to the point of donating a park and municipal parking area. VOLUME 6 NUMBER 6 JULY 26, 1973 Since accepting his appointment to the Senate in 1940, he has continued his strong citizenship in Ottawa. His numerous donations to Carleton University have been instrumental in the development of many new buildings, programmes, and student awards. He has served as a member of the Board of Governors at Carleton since 1947. That University honoured him with an. honorary doctorate in 1959. Senator Paterson continues to have far-flung business and community interests and responsibilities. He is president of Western Engineering Service, board chairman of the Royal Edward Hotel, past-president of both the Canadian Club of Canada and the Victorian Order of Nurses. He is a patron of the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters, as well as the Orpheus Operatic Society. He was appointed Knight of the Order of St. John by King George VI in 1945. He married Eleanor MacDonald in 1915, and has six children. The Lakehead University Board of Governors, Senate, Faculty Association and Student Union will take an active part in the Special Convocation Ceremony, to register the appreciation of all segments of the University for the many years of support Senator Paterson has so unselfishly afforded Lakehead University. New Appointment F.X. Shea, Chairman of the Board of the Lake Superior Association of Colleges and Universities, has announced the appointment of Dr. Donald Fouts, Illinois educator, as Executive Director effective August 15, 1973. Prior to accepting the appointment Dr. Fouts was head of the Department of Higher and Continuing Education and Assistant Superintendant of Public Instruction for the state of Illinois. Earlier he held teaching and administrative posts at Western Illinois University and Northern Illinois University. Fouts earned his B.A. degree at the University of Chicago and his Ph.D. in political science at the University of Minnesota. He is a member of the American Association for Higher Education, the Adult Education Association of the United States and the American Political Science Association. He is married and has three child- �ren. The Lake Superior Association of Colleges and Universities was formally organized at a two-day meeting held at Lakehead University, Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada, in October of 1972. According to Shea, who is also President of the College of St. Scholastica, the purpose of the Association is to develop coorerative links among the institutions which wil improve academic programs, expand educational opportuntties, and increase the efficiency of institutional operations. The Executive Director will be responsible for planning and coordinating these joint endeavours. Mental Practice Studied Mr. Bob Elvin and Mr. Eero Vuorinen who are teachers at Hammarskjold High School recently completed a study entitled "The Effects of Mental Practice on Motor Performance and Learning". These teachers completed a course given by the Lakehead University B.P.H.E. Department and headed by Professor Gorden T. Garvie in the area of Human Motor Performance and Learning. Well, what about mental practice and rehearsal and how does it affect performance and learning? Elvin and Vuorinen cite studies by Vandell (1943) and Twining (1949) which indicate that mental practice does in fact aid performance, although learning was not specifically examined. Other studies by Clark (1960) and Start(1960) have found that learning has been positively affected by mental rehearsal. The two teachers examined the effects of mental practice on performance and learning on the labyrinth game. This game may be found in novelty stores and requires manual manipulations of dials in order to move a steal ball around a maze on a moveable platform. Two groups of people we defined: Group A (control)This group practiced for 15 trials with no mental practice; Group B (experimental) - This group practiced for 15 times but with trials three to thirteen under conditions of mental practice. A trial was defined as practice until an error was committed at which time the subjects r eceived a thirty second rest break. This is where the main practice difference occurred. The control group (a) read names and p ho ne nu mbers out of the phone book to occupy themselves while the experimental group (b) observed an expert practising the task and mentally rehearsed the desired physical movements. Several scores were calculated once all the subjects were tested. (a) An initial score, the average of trail one and two indicated no significant difference between the groups to start with. (b) A performance score, the average of trials 3 13, was the second calculation made which also indicated no significant differenc.e between the two groups although the experimental group performed slightly better than the control group. (c) the final calculation, that of a learning score (average of trials 14 or 15 minus the average trials of 1 and 2), resulted in a significant difference between the two groups. The mental practice group learned more than the control group. These results then support the findings of Clark (1960) and Start (1960). Mental practice of a physical activity does seem to aid in learning. Mental practice seems to aid the performance as according to Vandell (1943), Twining (1949) and others. This type of work has a definite and logical application to teaching and coaching. For example, we all know that periodic rest breaks aid performance as fatigue, both physical and mental, may dissipate. Why not then, to increase learning efficiency, interpolate mental rehearsal during actual physical practice rest breaks? This is logical as time is saved and the participants learn at faster rates. Let's make direct application to hockey, young boys are being instructed on how to perform the slap shot. They practice the skill physically until they become tired. The coach orders a rest break while he demonstrates again and the boys continue to practice but now mentally. Then they return to physical practice. Don't you think learning rates would increase? The results of this study can only give insight into coaching since the task used doesn't even remotely resemble hockey although it is a physical activity. We may now ask what is the best combination of physical and mental practice for hockey? Does this vary with skill level and are there differences depending upon the sport? These and many other questions are asked. In other areas such as feedback or knowledge of �results, is feedback about performance essential for learning? When should it be given and in what form? In order to efficiently instruct srorts it is most beneficial to study the area o human motor performance. For all you amateur coaches out there, sure you're pressed for time and you coach because in some cases nobody else would do it. But, by examining these basic problems you will enjoy your teaching more, receive greater satisfaction, the participants will become more skilled and you as an instructor will be admired more for simply throwing the puck on the ice, umpiring a scrub game of baseball oftentimes called a practice or simply getting boys together to wrestle with no thought of detail. Keep up the good work you are doing while at the same time improving your teaching methods.

New Officers As of July 5, 1973, the student executive for the Summer Session Society of Lakehead University is as follows: President, Lynda Pettit; First Vice-President, John A. Butler; Vice-President, Rick Potter; Director of Finance, Laurie Fraser; Secretary, Carol Crabe. Interstellar Editor Dr. J.S. Griffith has been appointed to the Editorial Board of the Journal of Interstellar Studies. This new journal will cover th.a field of scientific research into interstellar communication and exploration. Topics such as biological and biochemical investigations into the evolution and means of detecting planets; interstellar propulsion methods and spacecraft; radio or other techniques for contacting extraterrestial civilizations, if such exist; the probability of other intelligent life in the universe, will be included in the journal. In the 1930's the British Interplanetary Society was pursuing the idea of lunar and planetary missions when such ideas were unfashionable. Over the past twentyJears we have seen manned lunar missions an various planetary probes become a reality, and the Society has decided to raise its sights by initiating this new journal and move into a realm which at present may appear to be science fiction, but which may yield discoveries which would remove the last vestiges of egocentricism from the human race. At one time the Earth was considered to be at the centre of the universe, then it was the turn of the Sun to be thought of as central. Eventually we discovered ourselves tobe inhabiting a small planet orbiting a mediocre star in the outer regions of an average galaxy. At present the only unique aspect left to our planet is the presence of life, and reputable scientists haveputforward the proposition that life spores may exist on Mars. Other scientists have discovered planets around other stars, but the existence of life forms elsewhere is as yet undecided. �for Library Use Olly W88KI~ even~s Thursday July 26 -Canadian Chamber Ensemble, 8:30 p.m. University Centre Theatre.
