COU recommended to the universities and to the Committee on University Affairs that this statement in its entirety be used as a basis for action on that report. The report, Ring of Iron, prepared by Dr. Philip Lapp and col leagues on engineering education in Ontario, was completed in December 1970. Since that time it has been subjected to careful scrutiny by COU, by the universities, the Committee of Ontario Deans of Engineering (CODE), the Ontario Council on Graduate Studies (OCGS), and the Association of Professional Engineers of the Province of Ontario (APEO). The latter thrBe bodies have provided COU with analyses of the Lapp Report and have indicated their position in respect of its recommendations. COU has studied these reports and now makes its own recommendations. A number of the Lapp recommendations have been explicitly or implicitly accepted without amendment by the provincial bodies which have commented on the report. Most relevant to this University is an amended recommendation which reads: "Beginning in 1972 or as soon thereafter as possible, Lakehead University should establish a two-year, full-time engineering degree program specially designed to accommodate diploma technology graduates. The disciplines offered should be related to the needs of the district. In addition, it should continue to offer existing diploma courses in technology. As soon as the new two-year degree program has been established, the present engineering program should be terminated by admitting no new freshman." COU recommended further that five year targets for the total system enrolment be determined and reviewed annually by CODE and COU. Freshman intake would be accepted as the control factor for enrolment in individual schools and, unless agreement should be reached among all engineering schools, maximums set down by the report should not be exceeded. Al so, a means of sea I ing down production of Ph.D.' s in engineering from over 600 per year to 450 per year as of 1974-75 was recommended by COU. VOLUME 4 NUMBER 7 OCTOBER 21, 1971 University Committee The University Committee held its first meeting of the year on Friday, October 8. T.he Committee, composed of the President, the Dean of Students, four faculty members, two administrative officers and eight representatives of the student government, is a forum for discussion concerning any non-academic problem which affects the entire University community. This year, the Faculty representatives, who are nominated by their Deans, are: Mr. A. Cloutier (Arts); Dr. R. Freitag (Science); Mr. S. Dromisky (Education); and Mr. J. Roberts (University Schools). At the meeting of October 8, the Committee agreed to establish a subcommittee of three members to serve as an Appeals Committee for any viol at ions of the Parking Regulations. Named to the subcommittee for this year were Dr. Freitag, Mr. A. Anzew, and Mr. B. Mason. (The subcommittee has already met to discuss procedure, and will be reviewing the appeals received to date at a meeting on October 21.) The University Committee reaffirmed its earlier agreement that all signs, posters, etc., require the approval of the Physical Services Department prior to being posted on University property. Signs, etc., to be posted on the A.M.S. bulletin board require the approval of Mrs. Beach, the A.M.S. Business Manager. All unauthorized signs will be removed. Other items discussed at the meeting on October 8 included the effect of Provincial Fire Regulations on University functions, and the relationships among the various student organizations, and between those organizations and the University. Papers On Pulp And Paper Dr. Robert G. Rosehart of the Lakehead University School of Engineering announces a Pulp and Paper Symposium of which he is co-chairman along with Mr. Roy Stenback of the Abitibi-Provincial Paper Company. The Symposium will be held at the University commencing October 29, and all papers will be presented in the Lower Lecture Theatre in the University Centre.

Chen of 1he Department of Economics will present a paper en titled "Induced Embodied Technical Progress Possibility Frontier; An Alternative Extension of 'Leaming By Doing• ••. on Thursday, October 21, 1971 from 2:30 to 4:30 p.m. in Room L-4023 (Fourth Floor Library). On Thursday, November 4, Dr. Alfred M. Beeton, professor of zoology and Associate Director of the Centre for Great Lake Studies at the University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee, wi II be the guest of Lakehead University. Dr. Beeton will spend the afternoon with his chief hosts, the Biology Department, and will present a public lecture at 8:00 p.m. in the University Centre Theatre. Al I interested persons are welcome. Dr. Beeton holds three academic degrees from the University of Michigan, and has been associate director of the Centre for Great Lakes Studies since 1966. His work has involved government service with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, involving travel to India, Israel and Pakistan for reviews of fishery research, and consultant positions with the U.S. Corps of Engineers, and the cities of Chicago and Cleveland, among others. With nearly forty publications to his credit.one of Dr. Beeton's major research interests is the eutrophication of the Great Lakes. Lakes change naturally from a nutrient poor (oligotrophie)to a nutrient rich (eutrophie) condition gradually Beaver River Gas Reserve Dr. Edward Mercy of the Department of Geology announces that Mr. Byron Richards, a petroleum geologist with nearly 20 years of experience in subsurface geologic studies throughout Western Canada, is this year's A.S.P.G. Distinguished Lecturer. He is visiting the University and will give his lecture on "The Beaver River Anticline and its associated Giant Gas Reserve". The lecture will take place October 26, at 8:00 p.m. in the Upper Lecture Theatre. Exploration in the area of Beaver River is accompanied by high costs and complex problems for the geophysicist and engineer. The paper outlines the total development of a hydrocarbon prospect from early exploration to production. - A • �"'Exams" Exams 1lhi Cllmstmmas Examination Timetable has been m the scheduling bulletin board in the Agor-a. ll]Ostled Studen1s are urged to check the Schedule and advise the Registrar's Office of any conflicts in examinations. Conflict sheets may be picked up at the Office of the Registrar. A conflict arises when two or more examinations are to be written at the same time. It will be necessary to check the scheduling bulletin board in late November for any possible changes; and also for the location of examinations. 9 New President This coming Monday at 7:30 p.m. in Room CB-1010, Dr. H. R. L Streight, president elect of the Chemical Institute of Canada, will deliver his presidential address. Dr. Straight has been very active with DuPont of Canada in university liaison work, as adviser to management in the fields of academic science and engineering, assisting in determining areas of research for consultation potential and developing closer relationships between industry and the university community. He has worked also in pol lution studies and in process equipment design. His topic on Monday evening will be "The environment; a challenge to chemistry and the responsibility of society". The address is free and open to all. TV Violence A Lakehead University sociologist recently presented a paper questioning the conventional belief that mass-media violence causes those who watch it to be more violent. In a controversial paper, entitled "The Real Effect of Media Violence," Dr. David Martin suggested that television violence is more I ikely to make the viewer more apathetic than more violent. The paper, written jointly by Dr. Martin and American sociologist Louis Gray, suggested that television rewards not violence but sitting and watching. The television viewer cannot be violent, nor even very act ive and continue to receive entertainment from the media. The viewer's personal experience of sitting and watching has more effect on his behaviour than does any tendency to imitate what he watches; he becommes inllllred 11D vuonmce but not viol emt. The arg111Dent muy be applied 11D fitims and other mnedlia as well as to televisi0111. Persms who are already violent may learn new violent ""skills•• by television watching. though whether their violence is increased more by viewing than by alternative activities on the streets is an open question. The quiet person is IDllikely to be rewarded for real1ife violmce. whatever he may see on television. He learns to be a spectator. and he is well aware that the consequences of violmce for him are not what they are for a professional football or hocke-f player. Thus, if there is a typical consequence of media violmce, it is almost certainly not some mildmannered person suddenly turning sadistic or murderous; rather, it is the .. criminal apathy.. of mil& mannered people watching some violent deviant harming others, and doing nothing. It almost goes without saying that this is not considered a socially desirable consequence - but it should be equally clear that it is quite different from the consequence commonly attributed 10 violent T.V. Dr. Martin, who is Associate Professor of Sociology at Lakehead, presented the paper in September 10 the American Sociological Association meeting, held in Denver, Colorado.

About tlll,() hundred extra seats have been added and informal areas of study and areas where readers may smoke have been created. Notices are posted on the second and third floors indicating where smoking is permitted. The general book stacks on the third floor have been increased and al I of the Q ( Science) section has been moved to the fourth floor where a study area has also been provided. In the Main Hal I an Information Desk has been set up to assist students in the use of the catalogues. Microfilm and microcard material together with film readers have been removed from the fourth floor and are now situated in the Reference Library on the Main Floor. Government cbcuments have been brought together in a separate area on the ground floor and Rare Books al so have been brought together in a new Rare Books Room on the same floor. Access to the material in these collections is by enquiry to the Reference Librarian on the Main Floor. An up-to-date Readers' Guide is available at the Circulation Desk on the Main Floor and at the Serials Desk on the Second Floor. Library users would do well to pick up one of these very useful booklets. It is hoped that by 1972 when classrooms and academic offices are relocated further expansion of the Library on the ground and 1.4>per floors wi 11 be po ssibl e. Athletic Facilities Seminar Th e Northwestern Ontario Association in Phy sical and Health Education, in conjunction with the Faculty of Education of lakehead University, presents a physical education facilities seminar to be hel d at th e University from Thursday, October 14, to Saturday October 16. OCTOBER 7, 1971 The kick-off for activi ties in this program wi II be a folk dance seminar directed by Jack Geddes. in the C. J. Sanders Athletic Building gymnasium, on Thursday evening at 8:00 p.m. According to prevailing theories of physical and health education for pre-school and public school children, emphasis is placed on the student rather than the subject matter. Activities and equipment are designed in the context of natural growth and development of younger children. ' '"" ~ . r.q -. . ·• . f L ·~ ~ ~~ ~ ... I.~, .. :-.1__, .. ~ ~ Key concepts ~ n this approach are wei ght, time, space and flow. Children are encouraged to discover for theA1selves the effects of weight transfer on various parts of their bodies as it affects their own specific movements. Children thus become more aware of themselves and their individual abi lities. Part of this awareness is related to the speed at wh 1ch separate activiti es are accomplished. Which movements cannot be made slowly? How does speed affect performance? Space, too, i s important. Children are now encouraged to become more aware of th eir abi_lities and responsi bi liti es in relation to other chil dren and equipma,t. Finally, this approach of self- discovery aims at helping t he chi ld reach an awareness of his movements so that he can become more in control, more gracefult hus the emphasis on the flow of movement from one exercise to another, from one piece of athletic equipment to another. The seminar wi 11 conclude on the afternoon of Saturday, October 16, with an orienteering program for local elementary schools. �The Alumni Speak help in any way, even in telling your own story, contact any of the following executive members: The newly installed executive of the Lakehead Uni• versity Alumni Association is looking forward to an active year.

For years now, this strictly volunteer organization �has depended heavily upon a Hallowe'en Collection, administered through the schools. Across Canada last year, the Hallowe'en collection netted about $660,000 in small change. Local contributions amounted to about $5,000. According to the local UNICEF Chairman, Jerry Coffman, these figures helped contribute to a mere 10% of the needs of the 'NO rid' s destitute children. The local organization is in desperate need of volunteer adult v.orkers. What for? To carry out liaison programs with 90 local schools for the Hallowe'en collection; to help count and collect money (cars badly needed);to help at UNICEF Hallowe'en parties; and to take pictures for publicity purposes.

Morris, Chairman of the Lakehead University Department of Philosophy announces that Dr. Pall Ardal, noted Icelandic philosopher, specialist in Eighteenth Century thought, vi sits Lakehead University this coming week. The Eighteenth Century is usually labeled the "Age of Reason", and few care to consider beyond this inadequate definition. One reason may we1 I be that David Hume, who once wrote that ''reason not only is but ouglt to be the slave of the passions," has not been given enough attention. Book I I of hi s famous Treatise on Human Nature had long been con• signed to the dustbin as antiquated psychology. But, Dr. Ardal, through his book Passion and Value in Hume's Treatise, Edinburgh 1966, may well yet in i tiate an entire re-evaluation of the Eighteenth Century. Employment Information " The Canada Manpower Student Placement Office announces to al I University degree graduating stu· dents interested in a career in administration with the Public Service Commission of Canada, that they are required to write an examination in the Upper Lecture Theatre, on Tuesday, October 19, at 7:00 p.m. A University candidate will not be considered for Federal Public Service employment unless he writes one of the examinations now. Candidates wi II be asked to state preferences in: Program Administration, Financial Administration , Personnel.Organization and Methods, and Information Services. * The Public Service Commission of Canada will be on campus to discuss career opportuni ti~s in their social-economic program. There will be a general meeting of qualified students and the Public SeNice Commission recruiters on October 18th, 1971 at 10 a.m. in MB-1065. Personal interviews will be held October 19th and 22nd, 1971. Interested graduating students should contact the Student Placement Office immediately. * The Ell1)1oyment Opportunities Handbook is available free of charge to all graduating University degree students in the Student Placement Office. A.M.S. Business Manager Mrs. Margaret Beach has recently accepted the position of Interim Business Manager for the Lakehead University Alma Mater Society. Mrs. Beach has become familiar wi th the inner workings of the A.M. S. through her role as full-time secretary over the past year. On Tuesday, October 12, at 9:30 a.m., in MB-1061, Dr. Ardal will deliver a lecture on "Hume and the Science of Man", which wi 11 concentrate on Hume' s theories of imagination, reason, fe eling and ethics.

The President of the University, Dr. William Tamblyn, and newly-appointed Vice-President, Dr. Donald Eldon, poi-nted out that many students throughout the province, the country, and in fact all of North America, seem to be doubtful about the value of university education. Dr. Tamblyn hoped that any students who might be thinking of "dropping out" would first consider the lasting importance of higher education, not only as preparation for employment, but also as a means of self-discovery and self-development. Dr. Eldon reminded students that temporary fluctuations in job markets should not di suade them from pursuing their studies. Future opportunities will surely demand people with the flexible manner of thinking which is encouraged in post-secondary education. Students who are still undecided were invited to come to the University to discuss their plans with Deans, Department Chairmen, or the Registrar. Counsel ling services will be available until Saturday, October 9th. 1971. Shinerama The Shinerama concept first started back in 1965 among nine southern Ontario colleges and univers1ti es. The sum they raised that year was approximate! y $6,000. Since then, this campaign has become a National affair with over 60 universities and col l eges participating from coast to coast.Last year. $147,000 was raised, and this year's goal has been set at over $200,000. Lakehead University students became a part of this very worthv.nile project last year and raised a res pectable sum of $7,000. This year Lakehead University'., goal is $10,000. The time and effort put into this campaign is a tribute to those University students who v.o uld rather do something constructive than just sit around and criticize. It should be pointed out that the administrative costs Dr. Tamblyn Ac cepts Shinerarna Award of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation to sponsor this campaign does not exceed 14 per cent. In other words, approximately 86 per cent of the money raised by students across Canada goes directly into Cystic Fibrosis research. It is estimated that researchers are with in a few years of discovering a control for Cystic Fibrosis. The average span of Cystic Fibrosis children has risen from five to thirteen years of age, thanks to conscientious University students across Canada. *Remember SHI NERAMA DAY Thursday, September 30* - TODAY!!

The names of the students a re as follows: Yesterday, August 29, a meeting was held in the University Centre Theatre to introduce McMaster University's new medical program for general practitioners. Representatives from McMaster included ti/\() professors and one medical student, while the local medical I iai son representatives included Ors. John Augustine, Peter Neelands and George Ferguson. Lakehead University was represented by the Academic Deans and Dr. W. G. Tamblyn, President. Fort William Collegiate Institute Neil Brown Lance Cooper Harley Hughes Barbara Maine Patrick Mann Doug! as Perrett Fred Tilling The purpose of the meeting, which was open to students, was to introduce a recruitment drive for a revolutionary medical program recently instituted by the McMaster University Faculty of Medicine. Hammarskjold High School Randy Hal I Douglas Loewen Lloyd R. Loisel Bryan Vic It used to be that becoming a Medical Doctor meant pre-med training, four additional long years of concentrated study, and subsequent internship. However this traditional course is designed to produce speci al i sts. Over the I ast few years, there has developed, particularly in out-lying areas, a crying need for general practitioners. McMaster's new M.D. program aims at training general practitioners in three years of 11 months' study after any university degree. Arts graduates may qualify, but they may also have to take part in preliminary training to prepare them in biology and lab \/\Ork. In order to make students more aware of this program, Dean of Students, John Kerr, and Student Placement Director, Moe Ktytor, were instrumental in setting up the above meeting.

It is the largest of a collection of 200 rocks now in the possession of the Lakehead University Department of Geology. It is among the rarest rocks ever collected by man because it was dredged from the floor of the ocean near the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, 45 degrees N. Latitude, at a depth of around 4,000 metres. According to prevailing geological theories, the superficial crust of the earth is divided into six major units called "plates". These plates comprise both continental masses and attached oceanic segments. For example, the two Americas form one rigid plate bounded on one side by the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, and on the other side by a deep submarine trough not far off the west coast of these two continents. The volcanic submarine ridge in the Atlantic runs faithfully at an equal distance between Europe and Africa on the one hand, and the Americas on the other. Following the contemporary hypothesis, these plates are continuously generated along the few submarine volcanic ridges (such as the Mid- Atlantic one) by constant basaltic eruptions. One could say that such ridges, so inaccessibl e because they are submarine, at great depths, are the birth place of the earth as we know it at the surface. Within the scope of these theories, grouped under the expression "pl ate tectonics", Ken Lee, a recent honours graduate of the Department of Geo logy is currently pursuing graduate work in the Departrr ent of Geophysics at Dalhousie University . During the past decade, this field of research has attracted Canadian sc i entists, through the Bedford Oceanographic Institute and the Geological Survey of VOLUME 4 NUMBER 4 \;_ .a ~ SEPTEMBER 23, 1971 Canada, as wel I as other wel I-known international institutes, and now Lakehead University, to concentrade on this specific area of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. As a result of this systematic plan of attack, Canada has become a W>rld leader in submarine geology, along with the United States and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. This past summer, the Geology Department of Lakehead University, represented by Dr. H. Loubat, and as• si sted by a National Research Counci I Grant, accept· ed responsibility for the petrological aspects of a 2 month exploratory cruise to the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, 500 miles due north of the Azores. There at 45 degrees N.Latitude recent volcanic basalts were dredged, dri II ed, and many geophysical measurements were accomplished (magnetism, heat flow, etc.) Dr, Loubat's personal interest in such rocks is to develop a systematic comparison between those very recent submarine basalts and ancient volcanic rocks which are well-preserved in the Canadian Shield. The Northwestern Ontario terrain is amazingly rich in submarine rocks formed about three bi 11 ion years ago. Dr. Loubat says, "I foresee a long-range investigation and comparison between the most ancient submarine basalts and the most recent ones that we have dredged and drilled in the Atlantic. I foresee the possibi I ity of deciphering a fundamental evolution concerning relationships between oceans and continents, and between the earth crust and the deeper "mantle" of our planet, from Precambrian times to our present time." The Library Has Spokenl The Ontario Royal Commission on Book Publishing will be holding a public hearing in the auditorium of the Faculty of Education Building, Lakehead University, commencing at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. on Tuesday, September 28. In this regard the University Library has already taken part with other interested bodies in presenting briefs to the commission and otherwise providing it with information and facts concerning the purchasing of books by the University Libraries and it's relationship to the Canadian publishing and booksel I ini:i industry. The Ontario Counci I of University Librarians prepared a brief for the Commission, and representatives had several meetings together to discuss its contents. The Librarian presented relevant material for another comprehensive brief compiled by Basi I Stuart• Stubbs Chief Librarian of the University of British Columbia on behalf of the Canadian Association of College and University Librarians. Both briefs were designed to correct the impression given early in the Commis- �sion's sittings that University Libraries were unneces sarily spending large amounts of money with nonCanadian agents at the expense of Canadian publishers Detailed statistics were provided. Mrs. J . B. Belton, the i\cquisitions Librarian, attended the Institute on Publishing in Canada at the University of Alberta, June 28-30th, where librarians and publishers discussed these matters in conference. The Stuart-Stubbs Brief and the Toronto University Librarian's Brief as well as commission papers so far published, are available in the Library for consultation looks like a really big shoe ... shall we7 Old Fort William Last Monday, Dr J M S Careless spoke of Old Fort William as the "hinge of a nation" . This public lee• ture was well attended, and successfully launched the Old Fort William Historic Park Distinguished Speakers Lecture Series The Series will continue on a monthly basis. Every third Monday of each month through April, d lecture w, I be dellvered at a different high school in Thunder Bay . The next lecture in the Series will be given by MarJorie Wilkins Campbell 1n the Selkirk High School auditonum at 8:00 p.m., Monday, October 18. Her topic will be "William McGillivray, Lord of the North", basically a biography of this famous governor of the Northwest Company . She wi 11 be introduced by Mr. George Macgillivray, editor of the Daily Times Journal . Special guests will include other members of the clan, service clubs and the four pipe bands of Thunder Bay . Beethoven Exhibit The Faculty of Arts of Lakehead University is pleased to announce that it will co-sponsor an exhibit which has been touring several Canadian universities as part of the Beethoven Bicentenary celebrations. The exhibit wi II be set up in the Great Hall from October 1 to October 9, largely as a result of hard oork and planning on the part of the Aesthetics Society Incorporated, a local organization. The exhibit was prepared mainly in Europe by the Edward Johnson Music Foundation of the University of Guelph. The substantial costs of the exhibit are subsidized by the Ontario Department of Education, the National Library, and such individual universities as Lakehead University. Besides photographs of Vienna and other places where Beethoven I ived and worked, the exhibit features original manuscripts on loan from museums, and notes and letters exchanged between Beethoven and other renowned musicians. Separate sections of the show deal with Mozart and Hyden. An attempt is made to reconstruct the social and political background of Beethoven's creative period. An important feature of th is exhibit is a collection of books and articles written about Beethoven. The show consists of one-hundred and fifty eight articles collected for the purpose of enriching our interpretation and appreciation of Beethoven. The picture depicts the proposed plan for reconstruction of Old Fort William at the Pointe de Meurons site As George Bernard Shaw comments, "no composer has ever melted his hearers into complete sentirnen· tal ity by the beauty of his musi c , and then suddenly turned on them and mocked them w1th deri si ve trum- �L. U. Forest Development Lakehead University has access to 3,000 acres of forest situated 22 mites north of the Campus in the vicinity of Island Lake and Two ls and Lake. It is currently ut1l1zed for training students In forest mapping and cruising. Some ambitious Forestry Technology students are keen on deve oping this area . As it stands, this forest is too mature for some important aspects of field work, such as forest management. But with a lot of volunteer student work over a few years it could be converted into an effic ient research centre in logging, sllviculture, p,Hhology, entomology, soil research, f1 sh and wi ldl ife study and watershed management.

Truly was he a Titan wrestling with the gods. one to strike fire from the hearts of man." This rare and exclusive exhibit provides us with an opportunity to become more familiar with Beethoven's genius. Resident Cellist Lakehead University welcomes a new resident musician. Joseph Shufo began the study of the Cello at the age of 12 with Paul Clement of the New York Philharmonic. From there he attended Oberlin Conservatory of Music and received a B. Mus. (Performance) in 1967. Wh i I e at Oberlin he studied with Professor George Neikrug, the foremost I ivi ng expert on the technique of stringed instruments developed by Dr. D. C. Dounis. Mr. Shufro is an exponent of the principles of this technique. Biology Notes Dr. G. Ozburn of the Department of Biology is -::urrently v.orking on a number of facets of aquatic biology. Over the past eight months this has involved tests on the toxicity of kraft effluent to Daphnia, a small fresh water crustacean important as a major food source to many other aquatic organisms. In addition to this, two long term projects are in progress. One involves the monthly sampling of the University's new artificial lake. The objective is to establish the rate of recolonization of the numerous invertebrate fauna present in the river prior to water impoundment. When Professor Neikrug moved to the University of Texas, Joseph Shufro followed so that he could continue his studies with this gifted teacher. At the University of Texas he completed his Masters Degree in 1969. A third project recently started is a sampling of migrating fish populations in one of the local rivers. This involves tagging and releasing the fish. It is hoped that this project wi 11 be pursued for at least three seasons to determine the percentage of tagged fish returning to the river. Mr. Shufro has performed in solo and chamber musi c recitals at Oberlin Conservatory and Texas University. He has also taught in the Texas String Pro1ect, a nationally acclaimed program sponsored by the University of Texas for the teaching of stringed instruments. On the lighter side, Dr. Ozburn recently spent a day instructing the third year BPHE students on the use of canoes prior to their camping expedition. According to Dr. Ozburn, "This was a much more pleasurable experience than that of trying to teach them human anatomy two years ago". �weeKI~ evenes Thursday Old Classic Comedy Movies • Noon September 23 to 10 p.m. in U.C.T.

This fal I, for the first time in more than twenty years, there will be no Woodrow Wilson Fellowship competition. Among college professors, and those college seniors who are thinkingof becoming professors, this annual competition has become as much a part of the fal I term as football. In announcing that the fellowship program 'IM)uld be temporarily suspended, H. Ronald Rouse, National Di rector of the Woodrow Wilson National Fellowship Foundation, said, "Funds current! y avai Iabl e to the Foundation for first year graduate tel towships are being used to support over 200 Fellows during the 1971-72 academic year. Prospects for securing new funds are uncertain. During the coming year, trustees and officers of the Foundation in cooperation with representatives of the academic world, will design a new fellowship program taking into account recent developments in graduate education and in the teaching profession, and seek funds for this new program.·• As a result of rapid growth of graduate schools, more Ph.D. 'shave been produced this year than can be placed, Mr. Rouse added. The economic recession and the recent wave of anti-academic sentiment across the country have combined to reduce drastically the amount of money available for college faculty salaries. As a result of these two factors the demand for college teachers has dropped just at the time when the supply is increasing. While the country may have overreacted to the college teacher shortage of a decade ago, there is now the danger that it will similarly overreact to the current problems of higher education by discouraging outstanding students from considering academic careers. Mr. Rouse continued: "Today's undergraduates who are considering academic careers must look to the job market of 1980. By that time the present economic and political climate wi II be history." However, young people planning for academic careers should make flexible plans, Dr. Rouse advised. It is unlikely that they can expect to step onto the fellowship escalator and be carried smoothly up through the Ph.D. and into an academic post. Many may wish to secure certification for secondary school teaching to provide an alternative, either temporary or permanent, to ooctoral work. Dr. J. M. s. Careless 'Hinge of a Nation' This coming Monday, September 20, Dr. J. M. S. Careless, renowned Canadian historian and member of the Department of History at the University of Toronto, inaugurates the Old Fort William Historic Park Distinguished Speakers Lecture Series. His subject, entitled "Fort William, 'Hinge of a Nation' ", is intended for the general public. I ts aim is to give a good grounding in the general scope of life at Old Fort William, and its heritage to Canadians. The lecture and slide presentation will last about forty minutes, followed by a brief question period. Mr. Jim Jessiman, MPP for Fort William will introduce the speaker. Special guests include Mayor Saul Laskin and City Council Members, as well as members of the Chamber of Commerce. This lecture begins a regular Series INhich will continue monthly at various local High Schools until May 1972. When the Lecture Series is completed, it will be published in book form, and will be the property of the Ontario Government. The initial lecture in this Series will be held in the Lakehead University Centre Theatre at 8 p.m., Monday September 20, 1971. �This Is For The Birds The Biology Department at Lakehead University is currently conducting research projects on north temperate and sub-arctic birds. Dr. John P. Ryder and Mr. David Chamberlain are investigating the spacing phenomena in colony-nesting ring-bi I led gulls. The study will furnish data on whether the gulls nest at random or whether nest sites are determined by the location of other gull nests. The effects of various spacing patterns (crowding, for instance) on the proportion of eggs which hatch is also being determined. The pro1ect wi II lead to a study of the sociobiology of gulls in which an attempt will be made to determine whether I ineage relationships exist amongst close neighbouring nests or at least whether the same neighbours are maintained during successive nesting seasons. Dr Ryder thinks there would be a definite advantage to the gulls if they "knew" their neighbours year after year instead of having to settle spacial requirements through pitched battles with strangers at the beginning of each nesting season. To study these and many other interesting habits of gulls. Dr. Ryder is marking birds individually so that he can recognize th em for a number of yea rs. A tower will be constructed this winter to facilitate the observation of undisturbed gulls during the whole nesting season. In addition to the ecological studies, Dr. Ryder and Lakehead University entomologist Dr. Richard Frei tag are initiating a series of proJects on the parasites of the gulls. In 1972 they will begin looking at the kinds of invertebrate life found in gull nests and also check the number and kinds of parasites occurring on newly-hatched gulls. Another of Dr. Ryder's students, Mr. Jim Lovisek is studying the ecology of nesting Blue Geese at La Perouse Bay, near Churchill, Manitoba. Blue Geese have t'I.O color phases, white and blue The whitephase bird is sometimes called the Lesser Snow Goose. The two phases have different nesting habits and react differently to the same environmental conditions. For instance, in a late breeding season, when snow remains on the nesting area, the whitephase birds usually raise more young per pair than do the blue-phase birds. In early and "normal" seasons, the reverse holds true It is thus possible to forecast which phase will be more successful in any given season but more importantly, the color phases show different population trends during long term weather regimes in the north thu s providing excellent opportunities for studying the population dynamics of an easily observed species . This study is being conducted in conjunction with Dr. Fred Cooke, a geneticist at Queen's University fo Kingston. During earlier studies and experiments, Or. Cooke noted that young geese of both phases mated with geese of the same color as their parents. A young goose which is raised by a blue mother and father shows a definite preference for a "blue" mate. In cases of mixed parentage, a white father and blue mother, the young shows preference for a mate the same color as the mother. The phenomenon of choosing a mate re- THE LESSER SNOW GOOSE sembling one or the other of the parents is called assortative mating. While Dr. Cooke is primarily interested in the genetic basis of polymorphism in the blue goose, Dr. Ryder is concerned mostly with the ecological significance of polymorphism; attempting to determine how and why it originated and is maintained. CUSO Relief Fund CUSO is launching a fund-raising campaign in Canada for relief assistance to East Pakistani refugees in the Indian states of Bihar and West Bengal. Funds raised wII be used to support the Bihar Voluntary Health Association, a non-profit organization based in Patna, Bihar. The 46 member agencies of BVHA include wlunteer, relief, health and community development grot4>s . Now in its fourth year of operation, BVHA came into being at the time of the Bihar famine. It is now providing health services, food, housing, clothing and schooling to East Pakistani refugees. CUSO staff and volunteers in Asia and other parts of the oorld are contributing to the relief fund. To date over $4,500 has been raised. Donations can be sent to the CUSO Pakistan Refugee Relief Fund, 151 Slater Street, Ottawa, Ontario, K1P5H5. Receipts for income tax purposes wi 11 be issued for al I donations. �Lakehead University Wrestling Program Serves Entire Northwestern Ontario Region Sixty-six boys representing thirty-six elementary and secondary schools throughout Northwestern Ontario took part in the first Lakehead Wrestling Camp held at Lakehead University August 23 to September 3. Eleven of the schools represented were from outside Thunder Bay, and from as far away as Rainy River and Marathon. In addition to the acquisition of fundamental wrestling skills, each wrestler became well versed in necessary safety precautions and rules of the sport. But perhaps one of the more interesting aspects of the Camp was the increase in each participant• s level of fitness. This was determined by applying the CAHPER Fitness Test, which involves six strength, speed and agit ity categories. In the accompanying table, the first figure refers to Day 1, and the second refers to Dav 9 ( second I ast day). No. of Standing Shuttle Run Sit-ups Long Time to Done in Jump Cover 1 min.

VOLUME 4 NUMBER 2 SEPTEMBER 9. 1971 Pollution Research Dr L Hastings of the Department of Physics and Dr R Freitag of the Department of Biology have submitted a paper to the Journal of Atmospheric Envirociment which is an international publication concerned primarily with air pollution The paper resulted from an anatysi s of the relationship between particulate fat I-out from the stack at the Great Lakes Paper kraft mi 11 and the concentration of I iving mites in the soil surrounding the mill Research involved the use of snow as a natural col1ecti ng agent for particles in the air Last winter Dr Hastings supervised collections of snow at measured dis• tances from the mill stack By means of a Hach turbidimeter. the concentration of sodium sulphate ions at each collection post was determined Later Dr Ot Haetinga & Dt, Freitag Frei tag conducted the col lectlon of twenty·si x species of ground beetles at the same co 11 ection posts Results of the research indicate that there is a rela• tionship between the presence of sodium sulphate in the soil and the prevalence of mite life In the case of twenty .four species of beetle, prevalence increas~ ed as the presence of sodium sulphate decreased, or as one got further away from the stack Two species however. who are "known to love pollution". are more prevalent where the concentration of sodium sulphate is greater Dr Frel tag wi l be examining the tissues of beetles collected in order to determi ne whether sodium sulphate or some other substance l s a factor in the sur· vival of the beetles Such a study i s a good example of pollution research underway on various fronts at Lakehead University in conjunction with industry and concerned citizens in the Thunder Bay area The main purpose of such research is to determi ne the effects of urbanization and industrialization on the natural environment around the city According to Dr Frei tag "It is not until you deter• �\\.ti .-, t~\. .. ' mine the rate of alteration of the environment that you can make proiections on which anti-pollution measures can be reasonably based " Both Dr Freitag and Dr Hastings are enthused about many aspects of their combined effort They are pleased to be part of a practical application of their particular disciplines while they see infinite possibilities for continued cooperation between different branches of science for the betterment of all They are also proud of the contribution of students in their research Dr Hastings and Dr Freitag see pollution research as an excellent opportunity for youth to finance their educational pursuits while gaining valuable experience in research techniques and in the practical application of science Campus Notes • Dr W J Whitely, who was listed as a B Sc. in NEW APPOINTMENTS of last issue received his Ph.D from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology this summer • Associate Professor Kenneth W Heam den has been appointed Acting Chairman of the School of Forestry for the 1971-72 academic year. • Dr and Mrs John G Rideout have returned from Europe after Dr Rideout's sabbatical year, which they spent in England, seven European countries and the United States Dr Rideout will resume his usual teaching program this fall in the English Department at Lakehead University with the new designation Professor of Romantic Poetry • Dr Gerhard P Knapp Assistant Professor of German, has recently published an article in the Austrian periodical "Osterreich in Geschichte und Literatur" The topic of his essay was the reaction of literary criticism to the works of Thomas Bernhard.a contemporary Austrian novelist • Dr Jane Hol I iday has been appointed Chairman of the School of Nursing.

REGISTRATION �Education Research Grants The Ontario Department of Education is implement· ing a new program of Grants-in-Aid of Educational Research and Development during 1971-72. The grants are intended to assist projects which are relevant to the problems of education and the needs of the students of Ontario. Grants wi 11 be approved for projects to be conduct• ed during the periods: (a) 1st January, 1972 to 30th June, 1972 (b) 1st January, 1972 to 30th April, 1973 The project description should indicate the length of time required to complete the study. Copies of the pamphlet entitled Grants-in-Aid of Educational Research and Oeveloprrent, 1971-72. are available through the office of Dr. R. A. Ross, Dean of Science. Twenty copies of each application must be received before October '29th, 1971 by: The Secretary, Grants-in-Aid of Educational Research and Development, Ontario Department of of Education. Mowat Block, Queen's Park, Toronto 182. (Telephone 365-1145) Liberal Science Program Dr. R. A. Ross, Dean of the Faculty of Science at Lakehead University, is pleased to inform the returning student body about the new Liberal Science Program. According to Dr. Ross, the age of technology is placing new and changing demands upon those preparing to take part in its development . Politicians, economists, social scientists. administrators and educators increasingly require scientific training in order to make decisions based on specific scientific information The Libera I Science Program is designed to equip students to meet the demands of our rapidly evolving society by combining courses in both Science and Arts in their education. The aim of such a program is to introduce Arts students to general concepts in science rather than to train professional scientists. Students who enrol in the Liberal Science Program may specialize in any Arts subject. Those who have already completed the first year of the General Arts Program may transfer into the second year of the Liberal Science Program while still retaining credit for all courses completed.

Although it looks like an ordinary document - one of the many universities turn out with predictable regularity - even quickly leafing through its pages makes it clear that this Strategic Plan is anything but ordinary. It's a framework that will foster intellectual and human connections and give students the tools to construct their own destiny. It's not surprising that Lakehead's collective vision for the next five years is a bold one. Since moving to Northwestern Ontario more than twenty years ago, I've learned that innovation and resourcefulness is a way of life here. And this spirit is also rooted in the hearts of those who call Simcoe County home. Thank you to all the faculty, staff, students, alumni, and broader community members who have engaged in the consultation process. While completing the Strategic Plan is a major milestone, we know that this is just the start. With your commitment and hard work, we will ensure that Lakehead is a place where scientists, philosophers, engineers, and fearless dreamers come together to and sustain our world. Cameron Clark Chair, Board of Governors Lakehead University Stiategic Plan - 2013-18- �L E T T E R from the p R E S I D E N T and Vice-Chancellor The Strategic Plan for 2013-18 has gone through different iterations, alterations, and revisions. And this is a good thing because it means that Lakehead is being responsive to the aspirations of everyone connected to this dynamic university and true to itself. By listening to many voices, we have created a plan that embraces Lakehead's tradition of encouraging students and faculty to explore big questions and find original solutions - and taken it several steps further. Our stakeholders should expect no less from an institution that revolves around experiential and collaborative learning. Now it is time to launch the strategic actions laid out in this plan. This complex process will be carried out in concert with our Academic and operational plans and will result in vibrant community partnerships, strong social justice initiatives, and greater economic development for Northwestern Ontario and Simcoe County. The challenges Lakehead University has set for itself may seem daunting, choosing the road less travelled often does. But our cutting-edge excellence in teaching, research, and community service ensures that these are challenges we are more than ready to take on. Brian J. R. Stevenson, PhD President and Vice-Chancellor Lakehead University Strategic Plan - 2013-18 - 2 �OVERVIEW T his Strategic Plan is the culmination of a twoyear process that began in January 2011 when Lakehead's Board of Governors first turned their attention to laying the groundwork for the 2013 to 2018 period. Their initial efforts became the draft Strategic Plan which was released for comment in April 2012. From April until November, the Board of Governors and senior administration engaged the entire University, and the broader communities in both Thunder Bay and Orillia, in a discussion aimed at defining a fresh vision for Lakehead University. The consultation was a resounding success, resulting in a plan that is more complete, more nuanced, and more attuned to the University community. It is also one that continues to support the dual governance model of Board and Senate. Among the highlights of the consultation process, led by Board Chair Cameron Clark, were over �50 meetings with students, faculty, staff, alumni, and community members. The Board was rewarded with the diverse perspectives of these key stakeholders as well as those of individuals unconnected to the University who took the time and trouble to read the plan online and forward their thoughts. The ideas the Board received have been incorporated into the updated plan and will help shape the direction of the University. The evolution of the Strategic Plan also coincided with a major re-branding initiative designed to identify what we value as an organization. The responses to the simultaneous branding consultation formed the basis of a new Vision and Mission, unveiled for the first time in this Strategic Plan. These core elements of Lakehead's approach to learning and scholarship have been enhanced by a Belief statement revolving around the heartfelt conviction that, "Our students make Lakehead University different." The task of writing the plan is now complete and the Mission, Vision, and Belief statements are firmly in place. But this achievement is just the beginning. The Board of Governors is ready to lead the implementation of the plan's five strategic actions and nearly 50 initiatives on behalf of the entire University community. And when we celebrate our 50th anniversary in 2015, we will also be celebrating a transformed Lakehead. 4 - Strategic Plan - 2013-18 �., V IS IQ N To provide a transformative university experience that is far from ordinary. To be recognized as an innovative comprehensive MISSION university that provides an education that is about how to think, not what to think. We believe our students make Lakehead University different. We believe that our students want an innovative comprehensive university where they have the highest chance of success. We believe that our students have the passion and drive to BELIEF realize their dreams and succeed. We believe that our students want the intellectual freedom to pursue the unconventional. We believe in the diversity that comes from our students of many cultures and many nations. We believe that our students are passionate about both their own individuality and their communities. We believe in our students. '\ Strategic Plan - 2013-18 - 5 �WHY DO WE NEED A STRATEGIC PLAN? Strategic planning is an evolving process that begins by defining a collective and worldly vision for the future that reflects the dreams and The Strategic Plan provides clear measures for success and establishes the basis for monitoring actions of Lakehead's 10,000 students, faculty, and staff, and 50,000 alumni. As we approach our 50th anniversary in 2015, the Strategic Plan offers a way to consolidate our achievements and show the world that we are a place that creates unconventional thinkers who are transforming the way we live. By charting Lakehead's direction and the goals it seeks to achieve, the Strategic Plan provides clear measures for success and establishes the basis for monitoring and accountability. That is the task of this document. The Strategic Plan becomes reality through operational plans, like the Academic Plan, which articulate how the vision is to be realized, and and accountability. integrated planning and budgeting which establishes and funds priorities. This Strategic Plan is built around five major interrelated and interconnected components. They should be seen not as directions, or even as pillars, but rather as interlocking circles. A clear sign of their interdependence is the fact that many of our initiatives support more than one component. 6 - Strategic Plan - 2013-18 �Fierce pride in our students and the determination to see them • succeed sets Lakehead apart. This is evident in everything from our new mission to the exciting changes we have made over Growth & Capacity Development the last decade including the opening of the Orillia campus, the establishment of the Northern Ontario School of Medicine (NOSM), and the approval of the new Faculty of Law. These changes are enhancing Lakehead's reputation and attracting increasing numbers of students from southern Ontario, throughout Canada, and across the world. Community Engagement Nurturing Scholarship Economic Development At the same time we recognize that the next decade will bring a major set of challenges and opportunities - working within budget constraints, fostering sustainability, maintaining comprehensiveness, and responding to the needs and aspirations of an increasingly diverse and technologically-savvy student body. Lakehead must also meet our partners' expectations that we take Learner-Centred Student Experience the lead in facilitating social justice, greater access to education, and economic development.

It is Universities also nurture arts and culture and provide students with the interaction between these motivations that brings the University's essential skills and knowledge. The final challenge is wedding the mission, and this Strategic Plan, to life. Strategic Plan - 2013-18- 9 �THE F RAM E WO R K FORTH E F UT U RE Nurturing Scholarship Teaching, research, and service form the three pillars upon which universities achieve their twin objectives of expanding and communicating knowledge. The term scholarship was chosen for this direction because it accurately reflects the Board's belief that teaching and research, although they may be seen as separate activities, are inextricably linked and driven by a common focus on learning. Learner-Centred Student Experience The lakehead Experience must flow both from its history and its mission. Increasing diversity and a clear commitment to helping students succeed will create a transformative student experience. Lakehead University offers unrivaled opportunities for life experiences that are far from ordinary. A clear example of this is the active student involvement in Lakehead's varsity athletics program and the program's strong community relationships. The University itself, through the dual focus on one-stop services and giving students the tools to carve their own unique path to success will bring additional richness to the lakehead Experience. Growth and Capacity Development The Board anticipates that by 2018, major new initiatives to attract and keep international, Aboriginal, and graduate students, coupled with the University's successful undergraduate and graduate programs, will result in an overall enrolment of 10,000 students. As a result, lakehead University will be broader, deeper, and more sustainable. 10 - Strategic Plan - 2013-18 �.... ... Community Engagement At the heart of this component is Lakehead's desire for a relationship with the community. The plan will build a stronger, more vibrant relationship with the community through a "knowledge commons" and a commitment to students who face barriers to postsecondary education. A critical element is expanding working relationships with Aboriginal groups, school boards, municipal governments, non-profit groups, private businesses, and alumni. A comprehensive external relations plan that prepares the University to enter into a significant campaign is integral to greater community engagement. Economic Development Lakehead is directly involved with economic development in four major ways beginning with the positive financial impact on the community stemming from the purchasing and spending of University staff, faculty, and students. We provide trained graduates for new jobs created by the knowledge economy. Our faculty and staff enrich the community through their active involvement and support of art, music, culture, and recreation. Our research fosters innovation that will lead to the emergence of new companies and new industries. This component recognizes these benefits are part of the University's raison d'etre and not simply an accidental by-product.
