[!]W88K a publication of the Lakehead University information office Chemistry Students Excel Dr. Robert A. Ross, Dean of the Faculty of Science, recently commented upon the progress of some of his post-graduate students . VOLUME 5 NUMBER 10 SEPTEMBER 14, 1972 Roger Glass, another student of Dr. Ross, has submitted his Ph.D. thesis to Queen's University, Belfast. Mr. Glass did his research on "Surface interactions of sulphur-containing gases on transition metal catalysts and catalyst supports". This study provides basic thermo-dynamic data necessary for an understanding of techniques that may be adapted to combat the pollution of air by sulphur gases. Mr. Glass has commenced employment with the Ontario Research Foundation, Sheridan Park, as a research surface chemist. Renowned Coach Don Talbot, world-renowned as the coach of more than 30 world record breakers has accepted a position on the Physical Education staff at Lakehead University. Talbot was Head Coach of the Australian Swimming squad at the recent Munich Olympics. Dr. Eugene McCaffrey Eugene Mccaffrey, pictured here at work in a Chemistry laboratory at Lakehead University, has just returned from presenting a paper at the Fifth I nternationa I Congress on Catalysis, held in Palm Beach, Florida. The paper, entitled "The influence of the mobility of oxygen in transition metal oxides on their selectivity in isopropyl alcohol decomposition" was co-authored by Dr. Ross and Dr. D. G. Klissurski. Dr. Ross praised McCaffrey·s work, considering the fact that of 250 papers submitted to the Congress. only 105 were accepted for presentation, and only two from Canada. Eugene Mccaffrey received his Ph.D. in Industrial Chemistry six weeks ago from Queen's University, Belfast, Ireland, upon completion of a thesis on "The catalytic decomposition of isopropyl alcohol on transition metal oxides and mixed oxides." During this research at Lakehead University, Dr. Mccaffrey established a relationship between the rate of oxidation of different oxide catalysts and the rate of catalytic decomposition of isopropyl alcohol. Such a relationship could be the basis for predicting the rate of catalysis in laboratory and industrial research. Dr. Mccaffrey has accepted employment as a research chemist with ~rnery Industries Canada, Ltd., in Toronto, where he wi II be engaged in nickel catalyst research. In making the announcement, Dr. Jim Widdop, Chairman of the B.P.H.E. program at Lakehead University stressed the fact that the news had been delayed at Talbot's request as he did not want his Olympic team to be adversely affected by his decision. Aged 38, Talbot, a former school teacher who started his coaching career at the age of 19 as assistant to the famous Frank Guthrie, leapt into prominence by tutoring the "wonder kids" Jon and Ilsa Konrads, who at one time held 8 world records each, all at distances from the 100rn up to the 1500m. Since that time, Talbot has produced a bevy of World and Olympic medal winners that resembles a "Who's who" in the swimming world. His proteges include: Neville Hayes, Kevin Berry, Bob Windle, Ian O'Brien, John and Karl Byrom, Mike Wenden, Brad Cooper, Graham Windeatt, Graham White, Jim Findlay, Gai I Neall, Kathy Wainwright, Linda McGi 11, Bev Whitfield, Karen Moras, Debbie Cain and Jan Murphy (who will be attending L.U. as a student this fall). Talbot who accurately predicted that virtually every World or Olympic record would be beaten in Munich compiled an impressive record as Australian National Team Coach: 1962 - Men's Coach - British Empire Garnes - Perth 1964 - Men's Coach - Tokyo Olympics 1966 - Men· s Coach - British Empire Garnes - Jamaica 1971 - Head Coach of team which beat U.S.A. at Crystal Pa lace - London 1972 - Head Coach - Munich Olympics An interesting aspect of the Munich Olympics is that almost half the Australian team were trained by Talbot himself. �Talbot's duties at Lakehead University will include working with Bonnie Benson- former Canadian 13reaststroke Champion: a) teaching all aspects of basic and competitive swimming to students enrolled in the B.P.H.E. program b) work towards the building up of a Varsity level squad - male & ferna le. In addition, it is anticipated that Talbot wi 11 be actively concerned with the proposed training program for the newly formed Thunder Bay Thunderbolts and will probably be in great demand to give coaching clinics both in Canada and the United States. En route to Thunder Bay, he will be stopping off in Montreal to lecture at the World Swimming Clinic being held there at the end of September. Campus Notes •Dr. George K. Fleming, Chairman of the School of Engineering, was invited to speak to the Annual Meeting of the Digital Equipment Corporation, Industrial Products Division, in Boston, August 28, 1972. Dr. Fleming talked on "Experience with Digital Equipment Corporation's Real Time Computer Systems''. •Douglas Dahlgren, resident pianist and instructor in Humanistic Studies music courses wi II spend the corning year in further study in New York City under Dr. Milton Kaye. Gregory Schulte, a former student of Mr. Dahlgren, will return to take over his classes and resident responsibilities for the corning year. Mr. Schulte has been studying under the same piano master, Dr. Kaye. •John Barnum, former assistant director of the Lakehead Symphony. and leader of the Youth Symphony. is studying this year in Monte Carlo under the violin master Igor Markewich. •Boris Brott, former conductor of the Lakehead Symphony Orchestra. has assumed responsibi I ity for the B.B.C. Symphony. Mr. Brott continues as conductor for the Hamilton Ontario Symphony, and is therefore extremely busy. But. he wi 11 return for a solo performance in Thunder Bay in the corning season. •The Lakehead Symphony is proud to announce the arrival of its new director. Mr. Manuel Suarez. A Brazilian violinist of international reputation. Mr. Suarez arrived in Thunder Bay recently from Mexico City, Mexico. Mr. Suarez is currently preparing for a concert he will be giving soon in Carnegie Hall. in conjunction with his brother Gorge, a similarly gifted pianist. •Dr. G. Ozburn of the Department of Biology recently presented a seminar to graduate students and faculty of the School of Public Health and Biology Department of University of Minnesota. The topic dealt with the problem of monitoring toxicity. •Dr. J. G. Rideout, Professor of Romantic Poetry at Lakehead University, has just returned from the Wordsworth-Coleridge Conference at Rydal. Westmorland, in England. The two-week conference was held in the heart of the Wordsworth country and featured such authorities in the period as Empson, Griggs and Thompson in lecture and group discussion. The conference was conducted by Richard Wordsworth, greatgreat-grandson of the poet. CUGO Report Dr. Andrew D. Booth, President of Lakehead University, recently made the fol lowing announcement: "During the 1969/70 academic year the University established a tri-partite (Board, Senate, and A.M.S.) Commission on University Governmental Organization to examine the governmental structure of the institution and to report to the President its recommended changes thereto. The work of the Commission was interrupted by the activities of the Wright Cornrn iss ion in Northwestern Ontario, and was not reactivated unti I the autumn of 1971. The Commission has now completed its report and has submitted it to me. "The procedure which we propose to follow for dealing with the Report is to distribute it as widely as possible within the University, and then to have it discussed at a series of meetings during the next three-to-four months. The first meeting will occur in late September with all faculty invited to attend to discuss the Report and its recommendations with members of C.U.G.O. Later in the autumn, the Senate and the Board wi II meet to review the Report. I also understand that the A.M.S. will be holding one or more meetings to elicit student reaction to the Report." Copies of the CUGO Report will be mailed to all faculty and senior administrative staff. Students can pick up copies at the A.M.S. Office. Others may obtain copies at the Office of the President. Field Hockey All those interested in playing field hockey are invited to play on the University's field in front of the Fieldhouse every Thursday evening from 7:00 to 8:00 p.rn. �Parr On Open Concept Following is an excerpt from a speech delivered recently by Dr. J. Gordon Parr, CUA Chairman: The effects of an open university in Ontario would be comprehensive. They might be enormous. First, educational programs would be made available to all, regardless of geographic location. It's not even necessary to be in an area serviced by broadcast television, because video tape decks are becoming accessibly priced. (Of course, this does raise another sort of difficulty, because the responsibi I ity for delivery is put into the hands of the post-office - a matter which I mention in Ottawa with some apprehension). The microminiaturisation of printed material brings entire libraries into the home. Computers can be programmed to respond to individual questions. is in every respect a valuable one, and the Universities themselves have grown healthier for it . However it's continuation - certainly it's extension - would be fatiguing and debilitating. The supplement and enrichment implied by the open university concept would relieve the growing demands upon the resources of our existing universities; a clearer definition of their purpose would emerge and their particular activities about the pool of knowledge given new vigour. OSAP Reminder The deadline for full assistance under OSAP is September 30, 1972. Applications received after this date will be assessed for half the year's need. Parenthetically, I'd like to answer the critics who assert that these approaches dehumanize education and make it a mechanical affair. This simply need not be the case. Rather, the student is no longer restricted to the table d'hote menu, but may tackle the riches of the a la carte. And the staff, relieved from the tedium of repeatedly preparing the same fare have more time to respond to the individual client. I am reminded of Buckminster Fuller's paper, "Education Automation", and its telling subtitle, "Freeing the Scholar to return to his studies." Students twenty-four years of age prior to the first month of registration who have received a Statement of Award wi 11 be eligible to be reassessed under the new regulations pertaining to Group B students. Those students who were previously ineligible for assistance because of family income but who might now qua I ify under the revised age requirement should apply for OSAP as soon as possible. When educational programs are made available outside the bricks and mortar of traditional institutions, the age group of the student body spreads. When a candidate in a program is judged solely by his performance in the program, and is not made ineligible by earlier accidents of formal schooling, the spectrum of acceptable aptitudes is enlarged. Post-secondary education is no longer that activity which has to synchronize with Grade XIII; it is no longer that ob I igation which genera I ly runs down when the student reaches the age of twenty-five or thirty. Geographical Congress The important point is that the concept of an open university does much more than simp y resent the conventional university to a larger nu ber of young students: the nature of its approach to the ool of knowledge, the mode of its transportati1on system to the pool, open up additional areas of ~the pool, <and reveal them for exploration in a new perspective. What effect would an open university have upon the established institutions in the province? Many. I'll suggest only one, and this in relationsijip to the Universities. 1've already mentioned that the Universities are strained by being so many things to so many people. The exercise, in response to social needs, Further information and application forms are avai Iable from the DEAN STUDENTS' OFFICE. Dr. John B. Wise, Faculty of Education, attended the Twenty-second International Geographical Congress held in Montreal, August 9 - 17 and participated in the meetings of the Congress' (and U.N.E.S.C .O.'s) Commission on Geography in Education held in Quebec, August 1 - 9 under the chairmanship of Dr. Benoit Brouillette. Dr. Wise addressed the Commission and representatives from many countries on the topic of "Geography in the Secondary Grammar and Comprehensive Schools of England and Wales", ending wfth a1plea for geographers -and educators throughout ~ the world to take further no~e of the_cred_it_able position arid nature that the subJect has in British secondary schools. Dean Neville V. Scarfe, Dean of the Faculty of Education, University of British Columbia, and the first chairman of the Commission (1950-1956) was the other Canadian representative to address the Commission in English. The Commission, under its new chairman, Dr. Norman J. Graves, University of London, will probably meet two or three times in different continents before the T~nty-third International Geographical Congress that will be held in the U.S.S.R. in 1976. �weeKI~ evenes Benefit Dance for Hospital In Viet Friday September 15 Nam, Cafeteria, 9 p.m. Registration and counsel! ing for: Honors Bachelor of Commerce; business administration diploma; graduate diploma in business administration; diploma in library technology.

George A. Kerr, Minister of Colleges and UniversitiE:s has announced. This reduction to 24 years tn the Group B age qualification for loan-grant assistance will take effect beginning with the fall semester, Mr. Kerr indicated, and should assist graduate students in particular, as well as students enrolled in long-term professional programs. Previously students had to ~e 25 years of age or married in order to have their resources assessed independently of parental income. As many as 2 000 Ontario students may be affected by the change which will be covered by funds already allocat~d to the Ontario Student Awards Program. The Minister also confirmed that the miscellaneous allowance provided under OSAP has been increased from $8.00 a week to $9.00 a week. This will amount to an additional $30fora30-weekacademic year and will affect mainly students living away from home. Last year a total of 64,500 of Ont?rio's P<;>st-sec_ondary students received OSAPass1stance, including 45,000 who qualified for a combination of_l?an ond provincial grant and 19,500 who qual1f1ed for Canada Student Loan only. This year the first $800 of any award will be Canada S!uden! Loan. _The total award including grant portion will take into account the increase in tuition fees in order to assist students with limited resources. The Students Awards Officers of Ontario's postsecondary institutions have been _aske?_to submit to the Ministry of Colleges and Univers1t1es for review applications from students who would be affected by the age reduction and ha_v 7 alrea?y received a Statement of Award, the Minister said. At present regular OSAP applications forwarded by the cofleges and universities are being processed and returned to the institutions in about three weeks. Reviews, special consideration cases, and applications incorrectly completed take about two weeks longer. To date over 30,000 regular applications have already been processed by the Student Awards Branch of the Ministry of Colleges and Universities. The final deadline for fall applications is September 30. Graduating Studentsl Students expecting to graduate in May, 1973 are requested to fill out potential graduate forms, which are available through the Office of the Registrar. Locker Evacuation Mr. Gordon Gaudry, Chief Security Officer of Lakehead University, announces that all lockers on campus must be emptied and locks removed by September 17, 1972. Issuing of lockers for the 1972-73 term will commence on that date. Any lockers found locked after that date will have the locks broken and contents removed. Innovative Course The problem of transporting education to out-lying areas has always been a sticky one in Northwestern Ontario. The Department of Mathematical Sciences, in conjunction with the Lakehead University Extension Department, has developed an approach which lessens the discomfort of travelling hundreds of miles through bitter weather often reaching temperatures of -50 degrees F. Mathematics s6 is a course specifically designed for the needs of the elementary school teacher. The course content is selected to provide the background and insight necessary to teach a modern mathematics program effectively. Also it ,fulfills the mathematics requirementfor the B.A. or the Liberal Science degree. The format can best be described as a correspondence course with a personal touch. Students meet for one week, with their instructor, 3 _h~u rs per d?y, at the beginning of the course. This Is to provide the common background necessary to proceed successfully with the remainder. In addition it gives the students an opportunity to meet their colleagues in the region who are also taking the course. The 'buddy system' where students assist one another in mastering the material, is greatly encouraged. The remaining part of the course is done by correspondence with specific assignments to be mailed in for correction. The instructor will meet with his students twoorthreetimesduringthe year in the various localities. In addition there is a once-a-week telephone 'hot-line' available where students can call the university for assistance. During one of the last t~o v.:eeks in Au~ust the initial week of the c.ourse Is being offered In Thunder Bay, Hearst, Little Current and Moose Factory. Also the course will be offered in Atikokan and Ken~ra commencing in September. The instructors involved are Mr. W. R. Allaway, Dr. J. Griffith, Dr. G. Vervoort, a nd Dr. J.

The professors and their specialties include; Dr. J.H. Widdop - elementary apparatus, psychology, soccer; Mrs. S. Evans - basketball, folk dance; Mr. G. Garvie - wrestling, football, motor performance; Mr. B. Grozdanovic - gymnastics, handball, soccer; Mr. H. Lockhart - basketball; Mr. W.

Nelson -educational gymnastics, Movement; Miss W. Thompson - volleyball, track and field. Dr. Widdop reports that close to thirty people are enrolled in this extremely fast-moving and intensive course in Kenora; most are elementary school teachers, with a sprinkling of high school teachers. Second Language Programs This summer at Lakehead Unviersity there are two "second language immersion" programs one in English, one in French. The general aim of the programs is to develop skills in reading, writing, unaerstanding and particularly in speaking the second language. Unique Program in Kenora The Department of Physical and Health Education of Lakehead University, under the direction of its Chairman, Dr. J.H. Widdop, is offering a unique program in Kenora, Ontario, in conjunction with the Extension Department. B.P.H.E.101 isacourse designed to introduce the prospective teacher of physical and health education to the theory and practice of individual and team activities. Emphasis in this course is upon the elementary principles involved in the teaching of such activities to beginners. S.,uch a course necessarily requires a variety of expert instructors to adequately cover the many games, activities, theories and different pieces of apparatus with which the prospective teacher must be familiar. The course in Ke nora has been divided into six Language Lab in Use A total offorty-three students are deeply involved in the many aspects of the programs, which offer �.. .: •• . ' V , )' ' . •✓ '' I intensive training in literature, grammar, spelling, reading language laboratory practice, directed and free conversation. Even those students studying French are from outside the region for the most part, for the program, under the auspices of the Federal Secretary of State's Office, is designed to promote travel. Emphasis within the programs is on Canadian material and Canadian instruction. Students are not only involved in classroom study from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. every day, but they are totally immersed in the second language through residence living, socializing with their instructors in the residence atmosphere, and through weekend excursions, field trips and picnics. Instructors constantly stimulate and encourage expression in the second tongue. Dr. M. Colina, Director of the Summer Language Training Program, claims a high degree of success in promoting understanding and expression in the second language and its culture. This is the second summer in which Lakehead University has been involved in the "second language program". Much of its success is attributed to the total living experience which is promoted by instructors and students being from outside the region, and by their sharing residence living. National Research Policy Following are excerpts from a speech delivered by the Honourable Alastair Gillespie, Federal Minister of State for Science and Technology, to a scientific gathering in Ottawa on July 10: As Minister of State for Science and Technology I am well aware of the many demands on the government for funds to support research and development. Many of these proposals are good and are worthy of support in the general interest of the country. But public funds should not be expended unless there is a reasonable probability of public benefit and all too often the view presented is short-sighted and parochial. It is up to you and those like you in other areas of technology to explain why your proposed project will benefit Canadians. Politicians are generally held .responsible for the expenditure of the public funds which they administer, and rightly so. But they are not experts in specialized fields of science and technology and must rely on the scientist or engineer to explain to the public why his work deserves support. It was to hel the government achieve a broad and farsighted approach to science and technology that my Ministry was established and I can assure you that as its Minister I look very hard at proposals which involve the expenditure of public funds and use of national resources, especially when the objectives, benefits, spinoffs, or side effects expected are poorly defined or oorly understood ... I can picture, a few years rom now, a group of scientists aboard a space station - maybe aboard SKYLAB - looking down on earth from space and discussing among themselves the scientific benefits of their research. Below, on a street of one of our cities, will be a group of the citizens who will have footed the bill and voted their approval for that space venture. As those citizens stand there looking at that little dot in the sky streak past - will tfiey know - will they understand the implications of what those scientists up there are talking about? Will they really have been put in a position to understand how the spaceship they live on - the earth - is being made a more viable and more humane living area by the research being carried out aboard that research space station? The man who pays the piper may not be able to call the tune on a daily basis, but at least he has the right and the responsibility to hear the tune. And with today's pressures for public funds, any scientists who lack the renewable ingenuity to get their tune to the public may in future find themselves being treated a little like expendable resources. r. Proposed Alterations This fall the Library will take over considerably more of the library building, and over the next few months alterations wilf be made in some of the service areas and in the location of stock. The main changes will be as follows: •The Cataloguing Department will move from the main floor to thegroundfloortobelocated beside the Acquisitions Department. •Government Publications will then occupy the vacated area and will be available through the Reference Library. •The Acquisitions Librarian and the Searching section, at present located on the second floor, . will also move to the ground floor. -Current newspapers will be moved back to the second floor. •The Reserve collection, at .present at the Circulation Desk, will be housed in the study room next to the Catalo ue Hall. �•Microfilms, etc. will remain in their present place in the Reference Room. •Indexes and abstracts (i.e. Chemical Abstracts Mathematical Reviews, etc.) will be brought to~ gether in a separate area on the secona floor in order to make their use easier. •The shelving of the main book collection at present on the third floor, will be extended to the fourth floor. Further ACU Notes In the_ July 11 issue of LU WEEK, space did not permit complete information in the article on the Association of Commonwealth Universities. The ?rticle was stimulated by the visit of Mr. Tom Cra1_g to _the campus of Lakehead University earlier this summer. Mr. Craig visited various young "emerging" universities across Canada in conjunc_tion with important ACU meetings in St. Cotherines and Montreal; and mainly for the purpose of emphasizing the Association's services to member institutions. While in Thunder Bay, Mr. Craig was able to tour ports of Lakehead University, as well as Confederation College. Among other interviews on campus, Mr. Craig spent considerable time with Mr. Donald Ayre, Secretary of Lakehead University. It is through Mr. Ayre's office that ACU is supplied with up-to-date information about Lakehead University. Memorial Scholarships The Canadian Division of the Chartered Institute of Secretaries recently announced the app_roval of "scholarships on a continuing basis to be offered at Lakehead University in memory of the late Timothy Ryon", Dean of Arts at the University, and chairman of the lnstitute's Curriculum Committee at the time of his death. "Such scholarships would be open to graduates of Lakehead University or students currently on course at the University. The Institute will award scholarships on the basis of a nomination from the University President, tenable for the individual student on a calendar year basis, for three years of registration with the Institute." The value of each scholarship is estimated at $1,000 over a three year period. Further information regarding this award will be available through the Office of the Dean of Students. Reminder Contributions to the University's Scholarship Fund in memory of Timothy Joseph Ryan continue to be payable to Lakehead University. Such contributions should be forwarded to _the _Office of the Secretary, Lakehead Un1vers1ty, Thunder Bay, Ontario. BIU Increase The value of the basic income unit used in calculating support levels for College~ and Universities, has been set at $l ,825 for the 1973-74 a~a~emic rear, The Honourable George A. Kerr, Minister~ Colleges and Universities, announced today. This represents a 3.4% increase in the unit value, up $60 from this year's $1,765. Bearing in mind that there ore unavoidable increases in administrative costs and salaries the Government believes this level of support' will enable the Colleges and the Universities to maintain present standards of excellence and at the same time provide incentives for efficiency Mr. Kerr indicated. ' It is expected that, across the province, formula operating grants to universities will increase by about 9% or $33 million over the current level taking into account projected student enrolment' f~r 1973-74 and the weighing factors applied to different programs under formula financing. Because of larger increases in anticipated enrolment at the Colleges of Applied Arts and Technology, the Formula Grants to the Colleges are expected to rise about 18% or $19 million across the system during 1973-74. In a letter to the Presidents of the Universities and Colleges announcing the increase, Mr. Kerr stated that the unit value had been established at $1,825 after thorough consideration by the Government and was intended to permit the institutions "to plan effectively for the 1973-74 fiscal year and to set the appropriate priorities and objectives." "You ore aware, I am sure," the letter continued "that the Government has always consider;d education as one of its highest priorities. This announcement, which comes in a period of great fiscal restraint, should indicate to you our strong and continuin commitment in this area." �W88KI~ Thursday July 20 Friday July 21 even~s -Beer Garden with "Love Cycle", Cafeteria, 3 to 9 p.m. -Thunder Bay Girls Pipe Band, Hillcrest Park, 7:30 p.m. -Dance, Cafeteria, 9 to 1 . -Intimacy Concert, Faculty of Education Building, 7:30 p.m. Saturday July 22 -Movie "Getting Straight", U.C.T., 6:30 and 9 p.m. Sunday July 23 -Movie "Getting Straight", U.C.T., 6:30 and 9 p.m. Monday July 24 -Recent NFB film "Temples of Time", U.C.T., 8:00 p.m. Admission Free.

FAMILY LIFE PROGRAM The Family Life Program is a two-credit course designed to provide the student with a thorough knowledge of human sexuality and family living. Each year leading authorities in anthropology, sociology, philosophy, psychology, theology, physiology and chi Id development are invited toLakehead University as guest lecturers. Each day starts with a two hour presentation by the visiting lecturer, and this is followed by a discussion group period. Each group consists of 12 students and a trained group leader. It is during this period that students have the opportunity to consider and discuss the contents of the morning lecture. The afternoon is occupied with the evaluation of audio-visual material, and a second group meeting. Lakehead University's thirteenth Summer term began on July 3 and will run through the week of August 15. A tota I of 1,600 students are enrol led in more than 50 courses on campus, throughout 6 communities in Northwestern Ontario, and also overseas in Spain and England. Special summer features, in addition to the Family Life Program described in this edition, include music instruction in conjunction with Humanistic Studies, language immersion programs in French and English, final summer training for secondary school teachers, and a theatre workshop. Free Films and Music As a service to students in the Summer term, the Department of Extension and Summer Session is providing the best in local concert musician-ship and recent National Film Board productions free of charge. Summer concerts scheduled for the remainder of the term wi 11 take place in the Facµlty of Education Auditorium on Wednesday, July 19 and Wednesday, July 26 at 8:00 p.m. Featured from time to time in such concerts are the musicians-in-residence of Lakehead University: Douglas Dahlgren, piano; Michael Ed-. wards, clarinet and oboe, Sidney Mann, viol in and viola; Joseph Shufro, cello; and Kenneth Dearlove, brass. Although the course is designed primarily to train and prepare persons for the teaching of Family Life in the school, it is apparent that the course has considerable appeal to non-teachers. The course content deals with such contemporary issues as the future of the family, women's liberation, and sex and the law, as wel I as a review of current knowledge in such areas as human reproduction, commUnication in the family and contemporary theological views. Under the directorship of Kieth Wood of the Department of Psycho logy, a tota I of fourteen guest lecturers wi II present up-to-date research and viewpoints on family living, throughout the summer. The first speaker has just completed his skein of three lectures through the first week of classes in the program. Dr. Warren Schumacher of the Department of Human Development at the University of Massachusetts has turned his attention towards the topics of "Human sexuality: the language of interpersonal relations", "Maleness and femaleness: sexua I identification and roles", and "Clarification of personal values: risk and creativity". Through these topics, Dr. Schumacher has stimulated thought and discussion of the deep implications of sexuality in all aspects of human personality and interpersonal relations. He has also explored the extent to which such questions should be raised in the classroom. �I , .j~ . ,, '. /' . . >... REMINDER Shakespeare Production ! For those who may have missed earlier announcements, "Happy Hours" have returned. Faculty and staff of Lakehead University are invited to share I ibations in the Faculty Lounge from 4:00 p.m. on Friday afternoons throughout the summer. A Minneapolis-based touring company of actors, usually specializing in outdoor performances of Shakespearean plays, will perform indoors on three occasions at Lakehead University on July 12 and 13. COU RECOMMENDATION The following is an excerpt from a letter to the Chairman of CUA, setting forward the COU recommendations on graduate student fees: It was concluded that $600 for a twelve-month year is a reasonable fee for graduate students to pay. This figure would be among the highest graduate fees in Canada, but not so far above the other provinces as to encourage widesp!Bad migration of the best Ontario students. The concept of an annual fee is considered important, because of the great merits in year-round study and year-round use of the most expensive university facilities, If the fee were established on an annual basis, there would be no need for uniformity among the universities in the actual application of fees by terms. Shakespeare-in-the-Streets, as the company is called, will arrive on the evening of Wednesday, July 12, and wi 11 perform Tw~lfth Night at 8:00 p.m. that evening. On Thursday, July 13, they will perform Much Ado About Nothing at 2:00 p.m. and The Two Gentlemen of Verona at 8:00 p.m. All performances will take place in the Lakehead University Centre Theatre. Tickets for each performance are $2.00, and are available through the University Bookstore, or may be purchased at the theatre entrance. Our specific recommendations to CUA and the government are as follows: (1) that all full-time graduate students ( except for post-residency· students) be charged a fee of $600 a year collectible once, twice or three times during the year at the discretion of the university and that this amount be used by the government in calculating formula entitlements; (2) that transition to the above formula fee be accomplished according to the following schedule: * (below) (3) that an adjusted value of the 8.1.U. for 1973-74 is preferable to an increase in fees beyond $600 or any other compensating mechanisms such as bursaries; (4) that if the 8.1.U. value for 1973-74 is reduced, appropriate arrangements be made to protect the income of the universities likely to suffer • enrolment shortfalls or to have limitt;!d numbers of graduate students. *Fall 1972 Winter 1972 Spring 1973 $292.50 Scene From Much Ado About Nothing Fall 1973 Winter 1973 Total $600 $292.50 $ 15.00 $292.50 $200.00 $107.50 $200.00 $200.00 $600 $200.00 $600 �Association Of Commonwealth Universities The ACU promotes contact and co-operation between Commonwealth universities. To that end, the Association, which has a full-time staff of 55 at its London headquarters, works in a number of practical ways to serve the Commonwealth university community by: • organizing in different parts of the world conferences of Commonwealth university people • promoting the movement of staff between Commonwea Ith universities by helping member universities to fi 11 vacant academic posts • assisting the movement of students from one country to another by administering a number of scholarship schemes, including the British end of the 1,00-award Commonwealth Scholarship and Fellowship Plan • providing factual information about universities on a Commonwealth-wide basis, through publications (especially the Commonwealth Universities Yearbook) and a personal information service. Founded in 1913 and later incorporated by royal charter, the Association has 186 member universities in 26 Commonwealth countries (52 members in Europe, 45 in Asia, 46 in the Americas, 24 in Australasia and the Pacific, and 19 in Africa). 69 of its member institutions are in developing countries. It is the oldest international inter-university association in the world and is governed by a Counc i I of executive heads representing member universities in the different Commonwealth countries. The Secretary-General is Sir Hugh W. Springer and the office of the Association is at 36 Gordon Square, London, England WC1 HOPF. Much of the work of the Association involves contact with, or providing services for, the executive heads, administrative officers and academic staff of member universities, but a significant part of the day-to-day work of the office takes the form of the provision of services for university students. These services centre round the provision of information, usually about courses, admission requirements or scholarships, and the administration of scholarship schemes. Factual information about Commonwealth universities is provided for students in the following ways: • through A.C.U. publications of which the best known is the annual Commonwealth Universities Yearbook. The Yearbook is meant to serve all sections of the Commonwealth university community but the A.C.U. also produced some pub1ications intended largely or entirely for students. • 'Higher Education in the Uniled Kingdom', a handbook issued every two years and specially designed to answer the .kind of questions that students in other countries ask about study at the higher education level in the United Kingdom. • A new A.C.U. publication, scheduled to appear I ate in 1972, wi 11 describe awards for postgraduate study tenable at universities throughout the Commonwealth and open to students from other Commonwealth countries; it wi 11 be cal led 'Scholarships Guide for Commonwea Ith Postgraduate Students' and will be published in revised editions every two years. • through a free Personal lnf,ormation Service for any student who, w1 shes to telephone, write to, or (if in London) cafl at the A.C.U. office at 36 Gordon Sq\Jarefor a talk with one of the information officers (who also edit the Association's publications). To answer some of the most frequently-asked questions in greater detai I than would be possible by letter or in conversation, a number of short A.C.U. Student Information Papers have been prepared and are available on request and without charge. The A.C.U. Bulletin of Current Documentation is published by the Association of Commonwealth Universities, 36 Gordon Square, London, England WC1 H OPF. Its main purpose is to provide the member universities of the Association, and particularly those in them who are concerned with the more genera I aspects of pol icy-making, with factua I information about some of the more important books, reports, and other documents that have recently been issued on matters affecting universities and are of more than local interest. The emphasis is on publications issued ,in• Commonwealth countries but some international and foreign documentation is also described. The 1972 Commonwealth Universities Yearbook is the forty-ninth edition of this standard guide to university institutions in the Commonwealth. In its 2,100 pages it provides the essential facts about 240 universities, including for each a complete list of teaching staff and general information about its courses, faci I ities, activities and organization. �for library Use Oily W88KI~ even~s Tuesday July 11 -Summer Session Movie "Spy Who Came In From The Cold", U.

Students, faculty and staff of the University are cautioned to drive with extreme care on campus during the summer period because detours will be the order of the day. Following is a numbered I ist of the various projects, some of which are already underway. The numbers are reproduced on the accompanying map of the campus in order to give you some idea of the main areas of activity. 1. The road from the Oliver Road entrance, around the plex will be revamped during and after construction of the new olympic-size swimming pool. The parking lot will be shifted, but its present capacity will be retained; a new exit road wil I be introduced between the swimming pool and Oliver road, thus completing loop service around the Athletic Complex; the roads wil I be paved; the area wi II be landscaped, with new walkways introduced. 3. New construction around the Facultyof Education Building will include a new walkway connecting the campus to Oliver Road on the habitual path of pedestrians, and also a section of pavement connecting the front and rear parking lots. Considerable landscaping wi II also take place around the Faculty of Education Building. 4. The natural walk between the dam and the floodgates on the island in the centre of the campus wi II be paved. Academic Building and past the Library to Parking Lot #1, is currently undergoing preparation to be curbed and paved. Parking Lot #1 wi 11 also be reconstructed with steel posts replacing the present wooden ones. The area around the Academic Building is scheduled to be landscaped before September. 5. The roadway on the Oliver Road side of the Power Plant has been removed to make way for cooling towers which have already been installed. Landscaping is currently underway in this area. 2. The area around the C. J. Sanders Athletic Com- 6. Exterior lighting will be installed over the entire Campus site during the summer months. �A C A D E M C B LJ L D NG �ACADEMIC BUILDING The Department of Physical Planning and Construction announces that the new Academic Building adjacent to the Library wi II be fully furnished and ready for occupancy well in advance of the opening of classes for the regular session beginning in September, 1972. A glance at the accompanying floor plan reveals at least six different types and sizes of classroom. Rooms similar in construction to 1021 and 2025 are 40-station lecture rooms with tablet-arm seating; those similar to 2024 are 60-station lecture rooms with tablet-arm seating, Rooms 1022 and 1044 are carpeted, horse-shoe-shaped, tiered case study rooms.Rooms similar to 1020 are 12station seminar rooms with carpeted floors and table-and-chair seating; those similar to 2023 are 16-station seminar rooms. Room 2047 is an BO-station examination room with desk-and-chair seating to make it a flexible testing area. The smaller rooms are faculty offices, numbering 82 in all. Also, centrally located in each of the three administrative areas are two double-occupancy secretarial offices, Finally, the largest area on the first floor, designated number 1042, is a lecture theatre-auditorium which boasts 356 auditorium-style upholstered seats with articulating tablet-arms for note-taking, l.002.. Pl...o..N Swimming Pool Nearing Completion ATHLETIC COMPLEX Construction on Phase 11 of the Athletic complex is under a full head of steam, Except for a few finishing touches, this entire phase should be completed for the beginning of the fall session in September, Separate segments of this construction include three new lecture rooms, three squash courts, a combatives room specifically designed and equipped for the University"s expanding wrestling program, and an auxi II iary gymnasium for creative dance, gymnastics, etc, The major project is the olympic-size swimming pool. It will measure 50 metres in length, and will be six lanes wide; it will be 12 feet deep at one end, and 3 feet 6 inches at the other; it will have portable bulkheads to divide the pool into separate instruction areas, The pool will include two 3 metre diving boards and two 1 metre diving boards, And seating capacity will be approximately 500. �W88KI~ even~s mee~ings CAPITAL PROJECTS Language Awards (Cont'd) Editor's Note: Following are further excerpts from President Tamblyn' s Annual Report to the Board of Governors: Over the years, the Uni'versity has attempted to keep pace with developments in academic programs, enrolment, and research activities, by providing additional physical facilities as required, Although the Board is familiar with the details of the University's present Capital Program, I would like to briefly summarize the major components of that program at this time. Construction is approaching completion of the 40,000 square foot Academic building, with an estimated total cost of $2.5 million, and on Phase 11 of the extension to the Athletic complex, with an approved budget of $1.8 mil lion. This new Academic bui Iding should provide sufficient teaching and office space to serve the University's requirements for the next few years, while the extension to our Athletic faci I ities, including the addition of an olympic-s ize swimming pool, will accommodate the needs of our own Physical and Health Education and Athletic programs, and also provide ample opportunity for use by Confederation College and members of the general community. The remaining projects being funded by the Provincial Government include Site services, Uti I ities extension, Power House equipment, and some alterations to existing structures, The original budgets for these projects totalled $3.9 million, of which $1.5 million remains to complete them, speaking students, who cannot pursue university studies in French in Ontario, to study in their own language in Quebec. The amount of the bursary will not exceed the equivalent of two economy round trips annually from the student's place of residence to the university chosen. There are also five minor projects which are being funded out of the University's own funds. These include minor alterations of the Faculty of !:ducation and the Main Buildings, renovations and equipment purchase for the newly-expanded Forestry and Engineering Programs, Utility Metering and the purchase of a Residence for the University President. The total cost for these five projects are estimated to be $230,000. Second Language Awards The student awards Branch ofthe Ministry of Colleges and Universities has announced the introduction of a new Fellowship for Second Language Study., and a travel bursary for French-speaking students. These awards are funded by the Federal Government and administered provincially. The aim of the fellowship is to provide students with an opportunity for immersion in the milieu of their second language in any discipline. It is open to Ontario residents who are undergraduate or graduate students registered in Canadian universities. Approximately 100 fellowships will be awarded, to maximum amount of $2,000. The purpose of the travel bursary is to help French- Deadline date for the fellowship is October 31, 1972, and for the trave I bursary is December 31 , 1972. Both awards are available for the 1972-73 academic year. Application forms and further information may be obtained from Mr. D. S. Bethune, Director of Student Awards, Ministry of Colleges and Universities, 8th floor, Mowat Block, Queen's Park, Toronto (telephone 965-5241 ). OH, HAPPY DAY! In response to popular demand, "Happy Hours" wi II be revived, beginning Friday, July 7 at 4:00 p.m. in the Faculty Lounge.

Ryan 1918-1972 On Monday, June 12, 1972, the University community was saddened to learn of the death of Timothy Joseph Ryan, Dean of Arts at the university since 1968. Born in Limerick, Ireland, in 1918, Professor Ryan received his B.A. and B.Com. degrees from the National University of Ireland at Dublin, and his M.A. in Economics and Education from Harvard. After several years as Director of In-Service Education for a major Irish commercial enterprise Professor Ryan emigrated to Canada, where he joined the teaching staff of Ryerson Polytechnic Institute in Toronto. After three years as a representative for the Saskatchewan Departm_e nt of Education, Professor Ryan lectured in economics at the Universities of London and Wales. In 1962 he was appointed Head of the Division of Management Studies at the University of Manitoba, where he also served as Director of the Evening Institute Division from 1963 to 1965. In 1968 Professor Ryan was named Dean of Arts and Professor of Economics at Lakehead University. In his four years at Lakehead he was particularly active in the areas of program development and interdisciplinary studies. He also served as Vice-Chairman of the Board of Governors of Confederation College of Applied Arts and Technology, and was an active supporter of cultural activities in Thunder Bay, including the Lakehead Symphony Orchestra. He was a Fellow of both the Royal Economic Society and the Chartered Institute of Secretaries, and was a member of the Canadian Industrial Management Association, the Canadian Association for Adult Education, and the British Institute of Management. Professor Ryan was pre-deceased by his wife, the late Jean Richards. He is survived by a brother, Denis Ryan of Limerick, Ireland, and close friends Iris and Carl Torfason and Mrs. Benjaminson. Prayer services were held at Sargent & Son Funeral At the Annual Meeting of the Board of Governers, held in the Senate Chamber on June 19, it was decided that the new Academic Building to be completed in the fall be named the Timothy J. Ryan Memorial Academic Building in recognition of Professor Ryan's contribution to the University during his years as Dean of Arts. ANNUAL REPORT Editor's Note: Following are excerpts from the President's Annual Report to the Board of Governors, June 19, 1972. The academic year 1971-72 at Lakehead University has been a difficult one in many ways, due primarily toa lower-than-anticipated enrolment, the consequent reduction in operating revenue, and the resulting necessity to introduce immediate budgetary limitations and to plan for longer-term reductions of expenditures. The delicate balances essential in an academic community received a jolt during the first half of the year just completed, but were, I believe, able to return to a state of relative equilibrium during the latter half ... While full-time enrolment remained static this year, the number of part-time students increased substant ia 11 y, from 2,650 students in 1970-71 to wel I over 3,000 students in the current year. This increase occurred primarily in our spring and summer terms, which have continued to prove more popular from year to year.Although we offered slightlymore credit courses off-campus this year (25 course sections compared with 22 last year), total off-campus enrolment showed a small decline. However, we expect to be able to increase our extension service to the smaller communities of Northwestern Ontario asl a result of a recent agreement with the Ministry of Colleges and Universities, whereby extra funding will be available for this work. The enrolment situation notwithstanding, the University this Spring conferred degrees and diplomas on the largest graduating class in its history. Since 1965 some 3,400 degrees and diplomas have been awarded. These 3,400 graduates are a --somewhat less tangible measure of our development and growth as a ���Report on Applications This report, based on surveys conducted by OUCA, compares first-year applications to Ontario universities in 1972 with applications received in the pre- vious year at the same time. No further surveys will be undertaken as the universities wi 11 be reporting on a regular basis to the OUCA throughout the remainder of the admission period.

Guelph, Laurentian, and - Ottawa show a slight increase in applications, while Brock and Trent are sti 11 down by over 20% from la st year. Shifts in program preferences have continued. Applications for combined Arts and Science have declined by 16 .6%, for Arts by 13 .4%, and for Engineering by 12.4%. Applications for Science have increased by 12.7% and for other programs by 8.2%. �Annual Report (Cont'd) university than the impressive buildings and the large operating expenditures, but these men and women are the justification for our existence. In our concern for balanced budgets we must never lose sight of our real purposes and goals ... The. year 1971 -72 saw a great dea I of va I uabl e work being done in the area of Academic Planning and Development. Particularly noteworthy is our recently announced, and very unique Engineering Degree Program ... Commencing in September, 1972, students who have completed a Diploma Program - either at our University or at a College of Applied Arts and Technology- will beable to enter a specialized TwoYear Program leading to a Bachelor of Engineering Degree. Thus our School of Engineering will now join with our already very successful School of Forestry in providing the residents of our region with the opportunity of pursuing Applied Professional Training without being requiredto leave Northwestern Ontario. Other developments this year have included the publication of a major, and controversial, report by the Senate Academic Planning Committee on the Academic Aims and Objectives of the University and the Allocation of Academic Resources to Meet Those Objectives. This report wi II be the subject of considerable debate during the coming year. Also this year, several of our departments have participated in province-wide studies of Graduate Programs, which are being conducted jointly by the universities of Ontario. Hopefully one of the results of these studies wi II be the expansion of Graduate programs at Lakehead University to at least the Master's Degree level in most disciplines ... The questions of proper organizational structures and governing mechanisms have been prominent at Lakehead for the past two years. Internally, our Commission on University Governmental Organization is just now completing its fi na I report for presentation to the President ... Its recommendations will be both far-ranging and challenging, and will attempt to improve both the effectiveness and the efficiency of our structures. We can expect, however, a lengthy period of debate and argument before any or all of these recommendations can be implemented, but I believe them to be sound suggestions worthy of your closest consideration. Externally, the Wright Commission on Post-Secondary Education in Ontario has produced its final Northwestern Ontario Report, recommending that there be just one Board of Governors to serve both the University and Confederation College. It is my opinion, and the opinion of many of the two Institutions, that the Report's recommendations are not only unworkable but will actually reduce the quality of educational services provided to the people of this region ... In summation, Mr. Chairman, I would direct the Board's attention to the purposes for which this University was established, to the major strides it has taken in the last seven years to fulfill its educational and social obligations, and to the great distances left to travel. I would urge the Board to remain mindful of the rapidly changing environment, both political and financial, surrounding this Uni .. versity ... Before closing, Mr. Chairman, I would like to take this opportunity to make two personal comments. Firstly, I am sure that you will all join me in expressing our sadness and sense of loss on the death of Tim Ryan, our Dean of Arts for the past four years. Professor Ryan was a warm and cheerful man whose very considerable contributiom; toward the development of this University were achieved with charm and sincerity. Those who worked closely with Tim Ryanwill deeply miss him, and will never forget him. I believe it is appropriate, Mr. Chairman, for my final remarks this afternoon to be an expression of my sincere appreciation to the members of the Board of Governors, and in particular to yourself and members of the Executive Committee, for the unfailing direction and support which were extended to me during the past seven years.

The University, too, must be more aware than ever before of the problems of the society in which it exists. And it must be prepared to contribute in a constructive way to the resolution of those problems. This it can do through its mandate to keep under critical review the systems of values which our society has inherited. Here a degree of detachment is essential, and a degree of tension is inevitable. The University can also address community problems in a more direct fashion by sponsoring interdisiplianry research into current and anticipated difficulties. Above a 11, however, the role of the University remains that of the most appropriate vehicle whereby members of society can assimilate philosophical principles, realistic applications, and social and persona I va I ues. As the source of a broad prospect of impressions and experiences for its students, the University serves society by producing responsible and enlightened citizens." President Tamblyn Addresses Convocation '72 Editor's Note: Following are excerpts from the Convocation remarks of Dr. W. G. Tamblyn, President of Lakehead University. "From our first Convocation in 1965 to the present time, Lakehead University has awarded 2,500 degrees and diplomas at both the undergraduate and the graduate levels. Today, another 904 degrees and diplomas wi II be awarded. These 3,400 graduates are a somewhat less tangible measure of our development and growth as a university than the impressive buildings and large operating budgets. But these men and women are centra I to our purpose for being here at a 11. Perhaps, in addition to paying tribute to graduating students, a secondJry purpose for Convocation is to remind us all of why our University exists, and what its contributions to society really are." "The role of the University has changed dramatically in the last twenty-five years. It is no longer a sanctuary in the monastic sense, where students leave society for several years of study. The University must now, more than ever before, relate to a broad cross-section of society, and must, in fact, play an active social role. The University must serve, and foster interaction between those students wishing to lay the foundation for their professional or vocational careers, and those who seek to cultivate their understanding of themselves, of society and of nature. The University must also expand its service to those segments of society other than the traditiona I group of students. Men and women of a 11 ages must have av- "I believe that Convocation is a most appropriate opportunity to express to our Faculty, our Departmental Chairmen, and particularly our Deans, the appreciation of the entire University for their sincere efforts during this past year. The very fine work which has been done this year in the area of prograll' development is an indication of their total involvement in post-secondary education in Northwestern Ontilrio." "Particularly noteworthy this year is our recently an- Some of 904 Recipients of Degrees & Diplomas �nounced, and very unique, Engineering Degree Program. To the present time our School of Engineering has offered a three-year program leading to an Engineering Technology Diploma, as well as the first two years of the-four-year Degree Program. Our students were then required to transfer to other universities to complete their professional education. Commencing in September, 1972, students who have completed a Diploma Program - either at our University or at a College of Applied Arts and Technology - wi 11 be able to enter a specialized two-year program leading to a Bachelor of Engineering Degree. Thus our School of Engineering wi II now join with our already very successful School of Forestry in providing the residents of our region with the opportunity of pursuing applied professional training without being required to travel many hundreds of miles." "I would like to take this opportunity to pay a brief tribute to two of the leading members of this institution. The Honourable Mr. Justice Bora Laskin has not only served us wel I in his first year as our Chancellor, he has also brought us a further degree of recognition recently when he was honoured by thred major Canadian Universities - Alberta, Manitoba, and Western Ontario - with Honorary Doctor of Laws Degrees. We would like to congratulate you, Mr. Chancellor, for this singular achievement. The second man who is deserving of our recognition here today is the Chairman of our Board of Governors, Mr. John Murray Fleming. Mr. Fleming has been a member of the Board since 1962, served as a ViceChairman for two years, played a major role in our very successful Development Fund drive in 1967, and has ably and unselfishly served as our Board Chairman since 1969. The duties of the Chairman have been particularly heavy during the past two years, and have included service on the Commission on University Government, Membership on Search Committees for both a New President this year and a Vice-President last year, and numerous trips to the seat of the Provincial Government on the University's behalf, as well as his normal responsibilities as Chairman of the Board and its Executive Committee. It sometimes seemed this year that Mr. Fleming was attending more meetings on Campus than even I, myself. Mr. Fleming has now announced his resignation as Chairman of the Board of Governors, but will continue to sit on the Board as a member. On behalf of the University, I can only say that we have the greatest respect for you, and that we are grateful for your guidance and unselfish service to our University," Chancellor Speaks At the close of Convocation '72, Judge Bora Laskin, Chancellor of Lakehead University, paid special tribute to Dr. Wi 11 iam Gordon Tamblyn and John Murray Fleming. The Chancellor recogniz:ed both men for their unforgettable contributions to Lakehead University in its critical formative years. As of June 30, 1972 Dr. Tamblyn relinquishes the Presidency af the University and Mr. Fleming steps down as Chairman of the Board of Governors. Convocation Address Editor's Note: Following are excerpts from the Convocation Address delivered on May 27, 1972 by the Honourable George Kerr, QL., Minister of Colleges and Universities. "I recognize that nothing is permanent in these complex times, when young people in particular are questioning the relevance of our social institutions and when many seem unhappy in the midst of affluence. People talk about being bored, sick, frustrated, polluted or discarded. They are troubled by atomic stockpiles and by wars fought for no apparent reason other than that they once began." "Sometimes young people appear to me to be terribly old, because they expect so I ittle from I ife and make so few claims upon it. I suppose that there are the usual number in our society who expect to be clothed, fed, educated and amused without too much exertion on their part. That kind of passivity is scarcely what I mean when I speak of the need to make claims upon I ife. I mean the joyous anticipation that if you plunge into life's dark waters and battle its strcng currents, you will come up with priceless treasures." "Consider the problem of knowledge with which you have been occupied during your years at Lakehead. The pride of the modern world is often the knowledge which we have built up, and mankind has never experienced such a vast access to new information as in recent years. We have the pi 11, the bomb, computers and all our technology. Yet when we look at the world, we realize that wisdom and knowledge are not identical.•• "Wisdom is much deeper than knowledge alone. Wisdom involves spiritual insights, integrity of character, a love of things worthy of being loved, a scale of va I ues that puts first things first -- a 11 of these woven by a philosophy of life into a purpose of living." "We al I have to face up to the fact that what stands arhwart man's chances for a better life is not the ponderous, impersonal establishment, which admittedly has plenty of sins to repent for, but man him- �,, self, Our trouble is that we have a tendency to slink away when the challenge of practical application faces us. My advice to you is -- get the facts and forget the rhetoric. Get involved, become active practitioners in life, and you'll find that this is indeed a great time to be alive. As you go out into the world to follow your individual careers, I hope that your colleges and your studies have somehow instilled in you something of a spirit and sense of responsibility in the rea Im of broader service." "In my talks with University students across the province I sense a feeling of apprehension about where the Government is heading in the field of education . We a 11 know that the fifties and the sixties were periods of tremendous growth and expansion. This period saw the establishment of many new universities, including Lakehead, as Ontario met the cha I lenge of providing faci I ities for thousands of young people who saw a degree as an automatic passport to the good I ife. Now we tend to be a bit more critica I and concerned about the qua I ity of the post-secondary education that is being provided. I think that is a good thing. A good thing for not only the taxpayers of the province but for the Administrators, the Faculty and the students themselves. Let me assure you that we are not becoming anti-education at Queen's Park. We are not reacting blindly to the backlash from those who say that University students are pampered and are taking too big a share of the public purse. We are sti 11 very much on your side. Al I we are saying is that we think it is important to make sure that the quality and the relevance of a University education is maintained. We are in fact paying more attention to the University community in the seventies . We are establishing a meaningful dialogue about objectives, not just being the Banker with no thought for tomorrow."

The Association of Universities and Colleges of Canada (AUCC) will be able to answer this question following a six-month study which it has recently launched. The study has been asked to report on the present programs of Canadian universities in education, research and public services in the North, on the needs of northern peoples that are not now being met and on desirable extensions of these programs in the future. In this context the North is defined as including the Northwest Territories, the Yukon Territory and the northern regions of British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Ontario, Quebec and Newfoundland . The study is under the direction of W. 0 . Kupsch, Director of the Institute for Northern Studies at the University of Saskatchewan, Saskatoon, and is being funded by the Ford Foundation and the Department of Indian and Northern Affairs. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Kerr, Minister of Colleges and Universities will deliver this year's Conv9cation Address. Although he is new in the arenas of post-secondary education, Mr. Kerr has enjoyed a lengthy career gs a lawyer and politician. Born in Montreal in 1924, Mr. Kerr was educated in Montreal and New Brunswick schools before taking his Bachelor of Laws at Dalhousie Law School, Halifax in 1953. He was called to the Ontario Bar in 11955, and received Queen's Council recognition in 1967. In municipal affairs and politics, Mr. Kerr served on the Burlington Town Council between 1955 and 1963. He was also active in the Chamber of Commerce and Kinsmen Club of Burlington, Ontario. From 1960 to 1963, he served as treasurer of the Halton County Progressive Conservative Association. The Minister was first elected to the Ontario Legislature for Halton West in the general election of 1963. After serving and chairing numerous committees dealing with a wide range of topics (i.e. government commissions, municipal affairs, consumer credit, education, health, labour, conservation and water resources), Mr. Kerr was appointed Minister of the Department of Energy and Resources Management for the Province of Ontario in June, 1969. In February, 1972, Mr. Kerr was appointed Minister of the Ministry of Colleges and Universities. The Lakehead University community welcomes him to Convocation '72. Convocation Instructions DEGREE AND DIPLOMA GRADUANDS If you cannot attend the Graduation exercises, please notify the Office of the Secretary of the University immediately. The printed program and seating arrangements have to be made with full knowledge of those who will be present. Your co-operation is essential.

Comm., Graduate Diploma in Business Administration, Library, Environmental Forest Technology, Logging Technology, Forest Technology, Engineering, Business Computer, Business Administration and Education, the reverse order from the Processional. Graduate -Fees On April l O the Council of Ontario Universities issued a statement in which it stressed that the recent increase in the annual gradua.te student fee from $485 to $877.50 is unfairtostudents and will have a serious effect on the quality of the universities of this province. The Council therefore w_el_comes the announcement on May 5 by the Minister of Colleges and Universities that the universities will be permitted more freedom in the use of provincially derived funds to assist graduate students. A student will be permitted to earn up to $2,400 as a Teaching Assistant, provided of course, that such employment is available. The previous limit was $1,800. Also, universities will be permitted to use operating funds for the provision of bursaries to a maximum of $300 per studentto those graduate students who register for three consecutive terms, the first of which begins in September, 1972. While the Council welcomes the freedom to grant bursaries as a temporary palliative it does not regard it as providing a long-term solution. The Council believes that there are preferable alternatives. The Council is hopeful that the Minister will be willing to consider proposals for alternatives to the imposition of the third term fee. COU is studying the problem as a matter of highest priority. Senate Notes At the Senate meeting of Friday, March 19 the Registrar, Mr. John McDonnell, presented ~ list of potential graduands. Senate approved 696 for bachelors degrees in Art, Scier;ice, Education, Commerce and Nursing; as well as 182 for certificates and diplomas. Four Master of Arts degrees and five Master of Science degrees will also be conferred at Convocation May 27, 1972. Special registration note: In order to ensure that all courses selected will count as degree credits, all electives must be chosen in consultation with, and have the approval of, the major Department. �weeKllJ even~s Remarkable People mee~ings The following are excerpts from a convocation address of the President of Pennsylvania State University, Dr. Eric A. Walker: Pointing to the assembledguestsofthegraduates, Dr. Walker said: "I would like you to look and see some of the most remarkable people ever to walk the earth! "These, your parents and grandparents, are the people who, within just five decades - 1919 to 1969 - have, by their work, increased your life expectancy by approximately 50 per cent; who, while cutting the working day by a third, have more than doubled per capita output. "These are the people who have given you a healthier world than they found, and because of this you no longer have to fear the epidemics of flu, typhus, diphtheria, smallpox, scarlet fever, measles or mumps that they knew in their youth. The once dreaded polio is no longer a medical factor, while TB is almost unheard of. "Let me remind you thatthese remarkable people lived through history's greatest depression. Many of them know what it is to be poor, what it is to be hungry and cold. • "And because of this, they determined that it would not happen to you, that you would have a better life. You would have food to eat, milk to drink, vitamins to nourish you, a warm home, better schools and greater opportunities to succeed than they had. "Because they gave you the best you are the tallest, h_ealthiest, brightest and probably the bestlooking generation to inhabit the land. Pieces Assembled The Lakehead University mace, rather fragmented in the last issue, has pulled itself together and is waiting patiently in the Science Workshop for Convocation ceremonies to begin. Our annual apology goes out to Ron Bennett, Senior Technician of the Geology Department, for utterly ignoring his superb lapidary contribution to the mace. "And, because they are materialistic, you will work fewer hours, learn more, have more leisure time, travel to more distant places and have more of a chance to follow your life's ambition. "These are also the people who fought Man's grisliest war. They are the people who defeated the tyranny of Hitler, and who, when it was all over, had the compassion to spend billions of dollars to help their former enemies to rebuild their homelands. "These generations have made more progress by the sweat of their brows than in any previous era - and don't you forgetit!And, if your generation can make as much progress in as many areas as these two generations have, you should be able to solve a good many of the world's remaining ills. "But it won't be easy. And you won't do it by tearing down or belittling. You may, and can, do it by hard work, humility, hope, and faith in mankind. Try it!" r .,...1 "li. , ,,~"rr,~"' 1,.~I~ • .. , ..., , . :s-:..::·--\; t ;. . • ' � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

K. C. A. DAWSON, ASSISTANT PROFESSOR OF ANTHROPOLOGY, LAKEHEAD UNIVERSITY RE: MID-CANADA REGION Over the past summer I have travelled across our country from Northern Newfoundland to the Yukon. During these travels I talked with many people in an attempt to ascertain their attitude and views about Canada's North. Knowing your continued interest in the north, I would like to take this opportunity to pass on to you my conclusions. This is not a formal paper just a series of thoughts and ideas stemming from my wide ranging travels in the past year. For thousands of years man in the north had adapted himself to nature, and not nature to himself. This changed with the arrival, in the seventeenth century, of people out of Europe. The land was scoured for fur bearing animals that had heretofor been used by family groups of Indians for clothing and meat. The exchange of furs for European goods, resulted in the complete distruction of the adaptive dependence on the natural environment of the indigenous peoples. Their way of life changed to one of dependence on the whims of alien peoples. The shifting of foreign markets, and the decline in the availability of furs, in large measure the result of over-harvesting, brought the vast fur trade organizatio to an end. Thus, by the middle of the ninteenth century the northern peoples, now without their basic food resources, and dependant on an alien technology, were left to fend for themselves. �- 2 - Since the arrival of the Euro-Canadian, development of the boreal forest shield region has been characterized by transient, extractive, commercial ventures. These ventures, based on the requirements of communities unrelated to the north, proceed with little consideration for the people living in the north. As a result, many people who have made their permanent home in the north, have developed over the years a sense of alienation from the south of Canada. From the period of exploration, resting on the then lucrative fur trade, to the quest for recovery of precious metal resources, to the present denudation of the forests by the pulp and paper industry, all major economic activities have been based on extraction of resources, are transient in nature, and are controlled by outsiders, for outsiders. We all know of ghost towns resulting from the termination of mining operations in the north. One only needs to fly over the north to see how Euro-Canadians have treated their own people, and the resources of the region. region continues. The dependency on forces outside the Under present utilization of our forests, I believe it is likely, albeit for sound economic reasons, that the pulp and paper industries may well move their operations south to areas of fast growing southern pine, once existing facilities have fulfilled their economic usefulness. And once again, we will witness the indifference of the rest of Canada to the well being of their compatriots, who choose to occupy the central heartland and hold it as Canadian territory. �- 3 This repetitive alienation of people living in the north is aggravated by factors other than economic. The growing multiplicity of regulations, usually designed for southern areas with high population density, is felt as an unwarranted, repressive and authoritarian intrusion into individual freedom of expression and action. The power of government offices to search "wherever their suspicions may chance to fall" is totally subversive of democracy. The burden of this action is expressed in the obvious indifference and lack of initiative manifested in many northern communities relative to other communities in Canada, for the people feel they have only colonial status. There is an obvious need for some form of regional government, answerable to the people in the north. Certainly, a new approach is required, for the land is not the private preserve of those from outside who may, from time to time, wish to harvest its resources. People living in the south of our country perpetuate a myth that Canada no longer has a frontier situation. erroneous. This is completely There are hundreds of square miles of territory surrounding the great inland waters of Hudson's and James Bay with less than one person per square mile. This kind of isolation, this indifference in experience and background, results in a people with entirely different outlooks on life. If Canada is to grow and prosper, the resources of the north must be developed, but I suggest it should be with the people of the north, not separate from them. I should record that there appears to be no problem of national identity in the north. From coast to coast, everyone I talked with, whether they were old settlers, indigenous peoples, or recent immigrants, �- 4 was first and foremost a Canadian, even where their very survival depended on foreign capital investment. There are, of course, regional variations, but in all regions our people view themselves clearly apart from the Americans. This, I believe, stands in marked contrast to many of our southern city populations. Another aspect of the problem of identification for the people of the north is communication. There are regions which by virtue of radio are informed as to what is happening, in their neighbouring communities, in their Provincial or Territorial Capitol, in Ottawa, and in the world. These people do not feel cut off and isolated. But there are other areas, such as northern Ontario, where such is not the case. People in the Lakehead have virtually no idea of what is going on in Sault Ste. Marie, their nearest neighbouring city, for there is no radio link. Commercial broadcasting, in the area, looks inward rather than outward. This does not aid in identification of Northern people with the rest of Canada, but reinforces the felt isolation. The same may be said for the prevailing newspaper media in the Lakehead. Furthermore, agencies such as the C.B.C. have completely abrogated their responsibility in Northern Ontario, for they have not even bothered to set up a station in the area. The situation is perpetuated by the existing power structure at the local level, with its 'old guard' family control, which, while it no doubt gives stability to the community, often performs like the Family Compact of old Upper Canada. The ultimate social actions which result from this kind of control are well-known. Another factor in this �- 5 process of alienation of the people of the north, is the prevailing absentee ownership of the extractive based industries; Management is transient, and transient management, regardless of how conscientious it might be, in terms of community involvement, is still - transient. With reference to the work force significant elements of this force are mobile, others are seasonal workers, while others are subject to dislocation in the face of the application of new technologies. Thus many do not make a lasting contribution to the long term development of northern communities. For the same reasons many young people leave the region, thus the north is its young people. losing its best resource - Those who do stay, frequently become a public charge as they age, for there are no alternative avenues of employment open to them, in a land with virtually no light secondary industry. Lack of opportunity has resulted in a poverty problem in many areas of the north, yet if it is to be developed competant people are needed and a program to induce young Canadians to come north and open up the frontier is required. The many indigenous people of the region have reaped the grievous suffering of a subjected people, under the dichotomy which prevails between the needs of people, and the goals of our economic system. Their expanding population largely the result of the introduction of limited health services, based on pre-natal and post-natal care combined with the introduction of game conservation measures, which limited food and cash resources, has resulted in a forced dependency on an alien overseer. This, combined with the introduction �- 6 - of a formal education program, has caused a severe and drastic dislocation in the way of life of these peoples. direction of conformity to an alien culture. A change in the The only justification for such action must rest in the 'right of conquest', a stand no longer palatable in todays world. The dominant society must recognize that it is engaged in an unco-ordinated program of forced acculturation. Only then might they be in a position to face up to the effects of their actions. In the meantime, for those many young people, who, as a direct result of actions taken to date, are no longer able to fit into their own society, yet do not have a place in the communal life of the dominant society, an answer must be found. One which will at least permit those who want to participate, an opportunity to do so. I would suggest that the people of Canada have within their power the means for providing a role for many of these young people. The numerous government departments that maintain sizable operations in the areas inhabited by Indian people could employ many of them. Whatever the cost in dislocation because of labour turn-over or expense incurred in on-the-job training, consideration should be given to such an approach. It is believed that if such a scheme were implemented, there would be, over the years, a gradual shifting to employment in the private sector of the economy. Returning to consideration of the development of the north as a region, it must be recognized that any development program has far reaching effects. What factors, for example, have been considered in respect to the on-going survey of water resources of the Albany River? �- 7 One cannot help but wonder if any consideration has been given to the resulting dislocation of the indigenous people, not to mention the utter distruction of plants and animals, and the concomrnitant disruption of the ecological balance. A minimum requirement would seen to be a complete summary of the resources of the area, before deciding on a program of inundation and diversion of the waters. Once again, it appears, the land will be exploited by outsiders, for the benefit of outsiders. In terms of research, any program set up to investigate the north should be centred in northern institutions, not in the south as often is the case today. For example, research with respect to an afforestation and reclamation of our soggy wastelands around Hundson's Bay could be undertaken by the universities now situated in the north. One only needs to look at the vast range of chemicals which the USSR is recovering from their peat bogs, to recognize the unrealized potential of the area. Conservation and pollution research must also be the subject of continuing study if we are to leave the land livable for future generations. Let us look at some possibilities for development of the north. There are areas now forested which are suitable for cattle grazing. Such a land utilization would not only provide a local food supply, supplanting the present situation which sees almost all basic food supplies imported, it would also provide a working situation for many people in a context with which they could identify. Further, a programme of co-operative ventures, to produce and market products would be �- highly desirable. 8 - Such enterprises would belong to the people, and • they would identify with the operations. This is very important, since a sense of identity cannot now be achieved with ownership and control resting, as it does, some place far removed from the north. Looking north to the Bay much of the land appears uninhabitable. But it could be put to use for grazing caribou, under the management of the native people, who live in large tracts of that area. This is the natural habitat of the caribou, an animal which can digest many plants not suitable to man, and convert them to edible meat. The caribou is a herd animal, and could be domesticated without major difficulty. The development of plant products in the north, by the people living there, is worthy of consideration. This would include the cultivation and harvesting of such products as blueberries, cranberries, mu shrooms, wild rice, and mosses. With some encouragement and assistance, such enterprises might be undertaken by many of the Indians living in the region. Much of the land surface of the north is comprised of beautifully coloured shield rock. Noting the stre.rg:h, durability and range of colours of this rock, one considers the possibility of crushing it for utilization as surface coating for curtain walling. Certainly there is a large and growing market for such building materials in the magolithic buildings of the southern metropoli. The d.eve,l opment of the off-shore mineral finds, now under exploration in Hudson's Bay, could be undertaken by going overland, through Ontario, rather than by water, as is now the case. The wealth apparently lies there, would certainly justify the building of an �- 9 overland route by the public sector which would open up corridors to r the Bay. The result would be of inestimable benefit to the people of the north, and to the country as a whole. In todays world, industry has a social responsibility. It is no longer acceptable to establish an extractive industry with a short life span. Once an industry goes into an area, regardless of the type, it attracts many other secondary service enterprises. means people, families communities. This Corporations in todays world have a responsibility for the communities they create. I have tried to state some of the problems that prevail in the central sh:eld region of Canada, and to c£fer some suggestions as to future direction of growth and development in the region. The aspect cE. 'people' has been emphasized, because it is fundamental. Under our present system of blended private and public sector financing of development, the people of Canada have a direct responsibility for ensuring the development of their mid northern territories but they must make a choice between haphazard and unplanned development and planned programmed development soundly based on both the human and natural resources of the country. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
