ARGUS--A NEW BEGINNING THE ARGUS is the beginning of a lasting tradition for a blossoming Lakehead University. As our University takes the step into newer and . broader fields of education, so too will this tabloid attempt to soar towards new horizons. THE ARGUS will attempt not only to report the news, but also to add various dimensions of reality to items. We will attempt also to be the beacon • of the student body, and threby supposedly we shall radiate outwards to Canada the new and vital life of this rapidly expanding educational centre. Our staff this semester are basically novices at this business. Our editorial' staff is really experiencing its first traumatic sessions as students creating a new format. Therefore, although we realize that mistakes will appear, we ask the student body to gird their loins and pray (curse the verb) for a general enlightenment of this editorial staff. EIGHT PAGES OCTOBER 14, 1966 Ans candidates in the A.M.S. Election were Don Cordingley (1) Mike Wainwright (111), Jack Lemmon (11), Bob Jordan (11), Natalie Sadowski (1), John Howard (1) and Peter McCormack (1). As a result of student voting, Messieurs Wainwright, Jordan, Lemmon, Cordingley, and Miss Sadowski are the new Arts' Councillors. Surprisingly enough, the two nominees from Science, Rick Marwood (1) ano Wendy Ticknor (1) won by ac- 1 claimation. The University Schools were well represented in the election in the persons of: Don Budkley (Forestry 11), Steve Gundry (Forestry 1), Helen Haavisto (Bus, Ad. I), Fred Perin (Forestry 11), Doug Robson (Bus. Ad. I), Dave Sulpher (Bus. Ad. I), and Lyle Urquhart (Eng. Tech. I), WENDY TICKNOR DAVE SULPHER - DOUG ROBSOM MIKE WAINWRIGHT NATALIE SADOWSKI NAMES CHOSEN DON CORDINGL Y Missing: All the succesful candidates from the University Schools were Business Administration students--Robson, Sulpher and Haavisto. Can this possibly be a foreshadowing of just exactly where power in the University Schools rests? BOB JORDAN Helen Haavisto Rick Marwood Directory Ready Student-Directory editor, Joe Danis, has stated that student directories should be completed within two weeks of this newspaper publication date. A forty percent turnout of Lakehead University Students has chosen the name of the Student Athletic teams as the NOR'WESTERS. Elections on Monday October 3, also decided the name of this newspaper. The •NoR'WESTERS" was considered a favourite by 191 of 509 voters. The name ARGUS received 255 votes of a possible 509. The AURORA with 156 votes, placed second to the ARGUS, The MEDIUM, drew 98 votes. TEA FOR TWO MEANS THE FLY AND YOU The Flies Of. (Both) Sexes Are Upon By DUFF DUNCAN There is a serious sex problem on our campus. Overpopulation threatens. Sex and promiscuity are running rampant in the cafeteria ... In short, the flies are taking overt Brash blue-bottomed buzzers have been strutting their exotic mating dances through the relish and mustard pots in the cafeteria this fall much to the chagrin of the meet a pal for lunch bunch. At first they were just a nuisance but last week their numbers rose sharply. This week it was a roaming orgy with flies reproducing at will and cavoning openly in defiance of the university's long tradition of mid-Canada puritanism. Favorite item on the menu was Shoo-Fly Pie and one student summed up the jeneral feeling when he said: I didn't mind th~m eating my sandwich buf when they start butting in on the conversation. . . now that's going too farl" Who is responsible for the flies? Director of Physical Plant Claude Smith clawed his way from under a desk-high pile of parking lot complaints to inform the Argus that his left-hand man, Peter (Salty) Umbriaco was makingapersonal study of the sex problem. The Argus agreed that Peter should be an expert ?n sex after his recent over-exposure' in the student yearbook. Mr. Umbriaco revealed the first draft of his study, 'The Sex Life of the Fruit Bread Fly' to the Argus but admitted he was ready to trade in his Black Flag for a white flag. His brilliantly conceived plan to put salt peter and birth control pills in the relish and mustard had drawn a mixed reaction. Peter complained bitterly about the interference from Roman Catholics and admitted he was frankly puzzled by the senate's attitude. The salt peter didn't stop the flies but the behavior of students and their sudden interest in studying so impressed this august body that they promptly suggested compulsorary daily doses. The student NOP movement spokesman, after a serious study lasting 90 seconds, said that whatever anyone wanted to put in the mustard was alright so long as it was universal. The only group happy with the fly situation was Professor Orr and his biology department. They have scheduled field classes in the cafeteria and the residence cafeteria all next week. Versa Food manager Bob Gude (does it rhyme with food?), a newcomer to the campus, was embarrassed by all the fuss. •it just prove how gude the fude is,• he rationalized. "It's crude, rude and lude of the flies to carry on in this way but our fude does put you in the mude to be wude." Meanwhile -that man of action, AMS president Wayne Tocheri has taken the bull by the horns, or if you pre- fer, the fly by the wings.

Paul Inglis Owen Maries Don Colborne Jennifer Sharp Peter Young Dave Pugh Lynne Grey Larry Bryan Joe Danis An Looye Ted Walker A PLEA FOR UNITY •Together we stand; divided we fan•. perhaps it would be advisable for all Canadians to stop and consider this statement before they try to tear apan what our forefathers have staked their lives on in building. During the weekend of Sept. 30-0ct. 2, delegates to the Northwestern Ontario Indian Conference heard guest speakers voice opinions that I feel, although the intention is laudable. are potentially disruptive. First the speakers emphasized that the Indian has received an unfair image from history texts. John Kelly, teacher at the Indian Day School, Northwest Bay, said it •is difficult to build op their pride as human beings when they see themselves represent~d in history books as savages. I think his sentiment is well founded for it is true that the Indian must live with a certain stigma due to poorly-reported events of the past. However the Indian is not the only racial group to suffer from adverse publicity. What about those wicked French who collaborated against the poor defenceless English? (Of course French texts take a slightly different stand(). Then what about those nasty old Germans that occupied Poland. Because history books condemned them, all Germans are condemned even though some modern historians claim that Europe•s policy toward her in the 30's was definitely not one of appeasement. But this is not a political column. With this pan of the address I'm in complete accord..What I find harmful is the encouragement of lndi~ns t0, in effect, break away from Canada and form a country of themselves. At no place is mention made of any son of political affiliation with the federal government. I don't want to be misunderstood as taking exception to one minc,rity group but rather I wish to point out a growing tendancy toward disunity. CO-OPERATION URGED This type of separatist thinking, while inevitable, nevertheless is very dangerous. At the very time when our country's foundations are being threatened by ineptitude on the pan of our leaders, Canadians should be seeking ways of closer co-operation rather than ways to pull away from this structure we call a colllltry. Generally speaking, our country is being unwisely manoeuvred by our politicians and it would be natural, in our frustration, to take matters into our own hands. But it ture leaves a bit to be desired but it. is at least a structure and this is superior to utter chaos. In days gone by, no doubt, the road to confederation must have seemed impeded by insurmountable onstacles. Yet here we have a sprawling nation of which we can all be justly proud. Canada is not bicultural; it is multicultural. It is comprised of Italians, Ukranians, Slovaks, Africans. Greeks, Asians and, of course. Indians. Someday, I pray, it will be one mighty Canadian nation with everyone pulling together toward a common goal rather than the tug-of-war chaos that now exists. A land it will be where new legislation Will •not be viewed suspiciously as a concession to one particular province, HOPE IN YOUTH Perhaps I"m somewhat of an idealist but I sincerely feel that the future holds promise of just such a dream. For I see in the younger generation a group that is more liberal in its thinking; it looks at a person for what. not who, he is. It is open-minded; it hasn't formed unyielding prejudices and then crept away into a shell. With every succeeding generation of removal from the native stock the strict racial bonds are being relaxed and the various peoples are mtxJ.ng. Yes, I believe that unity is not merely some highsounding but empty word. It can, it will, it must work! Only by joint action will this unity be effected. Obviously, biased and separatist thinking ls not good and can not be allowed to exist. Canada will stand boldly. We shall not divide. We shall not fall! The white minority in Rhodesia has acclaimed rebel Prime Minister Ian Smith. At a conference in Bulawavo on Seotember 24,500 delegates of the Rhodesia Front--· Smith's pany--voted unanimously to support Smith and his cabinet in theirmanagement to U.D.I. (Unilateral Declaration of Independence ) and handling of the country's affairs since then. Independence from Great Britain was declared on November ll last year. Up to now, all British efforts to topple the illegal Smith administrationhavefailed. Economic sanctions were applied to Rhodesia, but these are reported to have had little effect on the Rhodesian economy. Great harm could be done to the ~conomy if sanctions were intensified by. for example, Britain's calling in the U.N. for sanctions to be made mandatory, instead of voluntary as at present. Realizing this. Prime Minister Smith is playing for time by holding discussions with British Ministers in Salisbury. These discussions aim ostensibly at finding a basis for negotiations which, it is hoped, would end the rebellion. Yet it seems most unlikely that anybasis for negotiation will be found. Britain has declared that she Will negotiate only with a broadly-based government which will assure eventual political control by the ma- jority--Rhodesia s four , million blaclr,. . Smith, on the other hand, insists that government be by the minority--the 220,000 whites. lf both parties hold fast to these opposing views, there can be no basis for negotiation. Perhaps British Prime Minister Wilson realises this, for the week before the Bulawayo conference, the British Ministers in Salisbury warned. that Fhodesia would have to recognize British ~utbority by the end of the year or suffer the <'.onsequences. It is difficult to imagine thet1e consequences being any worse than mandatory sanctions by the U.N. I cannot imagine Mr.Wilson"s employing military means to end the rebellion, as some African states would have him do. Britain, by her inaction in stopping the crisis at its very inception, has displayed little determination to topple Mr. Smith. Indeed, BI'litain bas permitted the rebellion to continue for so long that many people have become resigned to white minority government in Rhodesia. I should not be surprised to see Britain recognise the Smith administration as the de facto government in Rhodesia. Such an action would be to the detriment of Britain and would have serious reprecussions over the whole of the African continent. •1111-1■ ••1•••-•••••••••••111a• ■m1•• ■n■ 1111ru111 EXPO '67 IS .CANADA! The following is the first in a series of feature anicles on EXPO' 67 to appear in this newspaper; By OWEN MARKS Oscar Wilde has stated that life is one long path of strife, with •only a few white, broken blossoms of joy scattered on that trail. Expo is such a broken blossom for Canada.. No one will dispute the fact that Canada could use more internal harmony. Officials in Montreal hope that Expo will provide its country with the required elixer. And even now, one cannot help but be impressed with the idealism, hope and the magnitude of this World's Fair. Half-completed Russian, American.British, Arab, Australian, German. Czcneslovaldan, and Canadian pavilions are slowly rising out of the mud of the island, taking form. and bringing the world of 1967 to Canada. On the surface, nothing appears amiss. The opening date of April 28.1967 should see all pavilions completed. But behind the scenes, one receives the impression that Expo officials are losing their cool. Financially. Expo will cost $330,000,000. Canada hopes to lose only $30,000.000, •an $80.000,000 birthday present.• But repoi;.ts have it the sales promotions in the Stati... • ~ve been extremely disappointing. It ca .iy be hoped that this situation will be rectified. There are rumours, also, to the effect that the .:i1iparat1st Movement is planning to set off a few bombs just as Expo opens, thereby sending it into financial ruin. Talk of depression in 1968 is another cheery tidbit. But Expo has its comedal aspects also. Isreali and Arab pavilions are on opposite .sides of the site, while American and Russian pavilions are attempting to outdo each other in size, grandeur. and cost. But for all the prophecies of doom, Expo is still there in Montreal. Despite the attempts of lesser men, Expo represents Canada, not Montreal. Yes, Expo is a grand tribute for a nation that could have been. ----------lll¼IL•--------------•mlMIIIM•MW-IMII---IIIIIIIH LETTERS TO· THE EDITOR THE GREATEST Dear Sirs; A truly great newspaper, September's issue of T .B.A. was a husky baby at its birth.

He is a graduate in psychology from the University of Illinois and his home, which he never expects to see again, is in Hartford Connecticut. He is now employed by the University of Toronto and lives in a furnished apartment adjacent to •the village• in Toronto. Even before his final exams this last spring he received an order to report for his physical examination. After having it deferred once he skipped the country.

SEXY SONGS OF DRUGS Bv CHUCK GRIEVE Sexy songs of drugs What about it. Sensationalism? Perhaps - but man, if you feel like singing songs of seduction, then like go ahead and do it. People get mad over stuff like that but don't blow your cool, because that stuff sells, and I mean sells. All you've got to do is sit tight until they ban it, and then you've got it made, because once it's banned, like there's no holding it back. It's not the lyrics that count, man, but they sure help you count - money that is. Some joker blew the whole scene wide open a couple of weeks ago. It's a real shame, you know that it happened that way. Sex and drugs have been around a long time, and there's no question as to how long they' re going to stay on the scene, because, man, sex, is life and drugs are progress, and any cat knows that progress comes with life, but progress has to cut down a lot of old grass to live. When you get right down to it, il s their own fault, I mean all this mess about teenies taking trips, smoking the weed, and making out like everybody else does, because this comes from education, and they sure do push Eddy. All we do is write, because that's how we live, Just like the president of the biggest blue chip on the market. Nobody pulls his stuff apart and says it's so god-awful and it's going to corrupt gummers. But man, old prexy squeezes the cash, and every strike against his type just raises prices, and everything' s mortgaged, and there's six kids to feed, and the old man can"t claim two mouths on his income tax this year, and like he sweats his rear off, and only goes farther in debt. What about it? What about old prex himself? He works hard, plays golf, drin~ good booze, but he lives, and so do his kids. But the gummers, whether they've got it roughtoreasy, they' re all the same. They want to get away because it stinks--like the whole scene is rotten. And stuff, that's the escape! But hold it. What escape? Why run from all the great things lying at your feet? There• s that great big allowance you got that's bigger than the grocery bill, there's the clothes you got that fill two closets, the big new car that the old man gets to use once in a while, the joints to spend money in, the dolls to make out with, the guys to spend cash on you--you name it. Even we writers are pounding away at the basic concepts, or what used to be the basic concepts, of sex and drugs. Everything is going for you. What's the matter? Escape means fea~ fear of that great sexual revolution • and the fantastic slackness of people you look up to. Too much, too quickly, that's the trouble. And the songs reflect it all., down to the last detail. Yes reflect it. That's what is, and that •s what sells. What's here is here, and what's past can't be changed. So lay off this notion of analyzing songs and censoring records. Look to the future, man, to life and frogress.

It is not just the Viet Nam tragedy nor American militarism which Greg rejects. He thinks that the main reason he has left his country at this time is psychological. He believes that military service has no purpose, and requires too much submission and humiliation. The universal draft involves the induction of too many men who are not cut out for the military. The fact that he will probably never risk entering the U.S. again does not bother him, •1 don't have a career and don't want one.• When questioned on the Vietnam issue he expressed guarded •sympathy for the american Cause• but asserted that since coming to Canada he has been regularly involved in Anti-war protests.

Due to a new conference rule, head coach Henry Akervall will be forced to stay away from the Port Arthur Arena, home practice zone for the L.U. Nor'Westers Hockey team. But don't worry fans, this will be upheld only until the third week in October when Akervall will step in at the reins of one of the best university hockey teams in Canada. Until this time 6566 veterans Lorne Gander, Claire Battiston, John Stefiszyn, and Dennis Ollnik will handle the more than 40 hopefuls training for the 20 positions on the varsity Nor'Westers. All of last season's players, especially Gander and Battiston, looked impressive in the first few practices and with a few rookies should mold into a particularly strong blue machine. Meanwhile head coach Bruce Bristowe is taking his varisty Baskethallers through the paces at Hammerskjold High School. Bristowe reports that at least 20 experienced players, including 10 veterans, have been attending practices with hopes of making the final team of 15.

FIGHT FOR A FIELD HOUSE Reporter (to senior student) : What did you do in the wayofsportsatLakehead University last year? Senior Student: I played bridge, went to •drafting» classes, and went to all intercollegiate (?) squash and handball games. Reporter: Why didn't you attend basketball games at the field house? Senior Student: Hal A little humour there. We don"thave a field house. There is the situation Lakehead University, with a population of 1,200 students has no fieldhouse. Most universities build a field house as one of the first buildings because university life and in particular, university • spirit, is promoted FERGUSON LEADS GOLFERS Competition to decide the members of the Lakehead University Intercollegiate golf team got under way at Municipal on Saturday, October 1 with Rod Ferguson taking the first round lead. Barry McNamee toured the first 9 boles with a fine one under 35 but found it rough going on the back 9, posting a 41. The tournament attracted 22 young men of which only the top 8 will be allowed to compete for membership on a five-man team chosen as the result of a tournament . in early Spring. The golfers now move on to the Chapples Municipal Golf Course and then to Strathcona in Port Arthur for the final round on Saturday Oct. 15. The total score posted on the three courses will determine the Lakehead University gross and net champions. ' F. Lovelady & Sons CAMERA SHOPS in no better place than in a field house. Although the S.A.S. has gone to a great deal of trouble developing a varied inte:cform programme, it wi11 not be a great success T !1en students have to travel to different high schools to participate in a university activity. Agood name for the interco~legiate teams could be •·.ne L.U. -a-Go-Goes" since the teams practice in many different places. Afield house would consolidate the travelling of the students. Plans are beingcompleted for the field house, hut let's make certain that we get one built. I'm sure it will draw more and better athletes to the school. It would provide school spirit. And finally, it would give the school publicity by the fact that the school teams would have a good chance of becoming winners with the addition of new talent brought to the school by the field house and withtheadditionalpractice facilities available. Remember: A field house on campus is worth tenon the drawing board.

In formulating the ballot the selectf_pn committee composed of members of the SAS, the AMS, the Athletic Department, and the Dean of Students, attempted to choose names that has as many of the following characteristics as possible: 1) a connection with the area immediate to the University 2) a connection with athletics 3) originality in the sense that the word was not commonly used for teams 4) easily said Only 13 names were entered despite the promise of $100 for the submittor of the winning name. Of these ~ix came from people not directly involved with Athletics: two of them, Nomads and Blue Flacons, were on the ballot. The rejects were: Animals (reason apparent); Centennials ( good for one year only); Olympians (too much connection with our National team); Trojans (too plodding)· Thunderers (?); Superiors (suggestive of Superior, Wisconsin); Argus Blues (which in time it was felt would shorten to Blues, the name of University of Toronto teams); and Argus (what iij the plural?). Nor'Westers, the name finally chosen. was submitted by the SAS and the Athletic Department and received more than twice as many votes as its nearest rival Lakers (which incidentally was also running as an SASAthletic Department suggestion.

All good exercises for developing musculartriceps and biceps. Another piece of valuable equipment, for developing bulging leg muscles, is one iron shoe-not two, just one modernly equipped without straps for tying the shoe to one's foot. Rumour has it that this is a magic shoe that produces rippling leg muscles when you pick it up in your hand. Oh yes. There is also a hand roller weighing approximately 200 lbs.,whichcanbe pulled and pushed along the cement floor to develop tremendous calf muscles. This last piece of equipment comes to us compliments of the carpenters. But there is a warning in this room. At one end there is aNOPARKINGSIGNwhich undoubtedly means to warn athletes not to trespass because the dangers involved in training plainly exceed the benefits that can be derived. You, the student, must promote the need for this training room, and you must point out, to the administration, the need of this room to supplement the already limited athletic facilities. The student's voice is powerful but it must be expressed. repeatedly and loudly before any action will be taken. S.A.S. HOLDS FIRST MEETING The S.A.S. formed from 26 members of the student body held their first meeting Wednesday Oct. 5. It was a long 3-hour affair, but the time was well-spent with many important decisions being made. The S.A .S. decided to give each representative a sport over which he is given control. Thus eventually each sport will have a committee in charge of that sport the committee to be headed by its' representative in the S.A.S. Another major decision of the meeting was the announcement that a chief justice. to preside over the S.A.S. meetings, is to be chosen by the executive from the nominees who were not voted into council.

NO.7 JULY 1989 Update: Pension Plans By Fred Poulter Vice-President (AdminJstration) . A meeting with members was held on April 6, 1989, at which sample calculations of improved benefits were presented. Members were asked to consider the use of a moving average of annual fund rate of return versus the application annually of the actual fund rate of return. The averaging method will allow an investment policy to be applied which will increase the overall rate of return and consequently the ultimate benefit to Plan members. The actuarial consultant has been asked to provide a written opinion on the theory, rationale and application of the averaging method. The Joint Benefits Committee has been advised by the consultant that Revenue Canada has given preliminary verbal comment on the draft text which provides for Plan amendment. There was indication that Revenue Canada may have concern with the maximum pension provisions in the plan and the manner of funding deficiencies in the pension Guarantee Account. No action will take place until written comment is received from Revenue Canada. There has not been any response from the Pension Commission of Ontario but a letter has been sent to the Commission asking for an early review and in particular a request to allow an immediate improvement to pensioners' benefits. We have been advised that our Pension Fund earned a 12.46 per cent rate of return for 1988. This is the fifth best rate of return for pension funds as reported by SEI Funds Evaluation Services. Technical, Clerical, Maintenance Toe-tally absurd: The crew of CIV's Live It Up recently visited Lakebead University to gather materialfor next season. While in Thunder Bay, host Diane Buckner and company tested - what else - insect repellents. One volunteer, David Del Zotto, put bis sole into the experiments and put bis leg in the mosquito cage to see if they were in the mood to bite. Buckner and guests also dined on some local creepy-crawlies at a bug brunch, which featured haricots verts aux Tenebrio or green beans and mealworms. Dr. Yves Prevost, entomologist in the School of Forestry, hosted the visit and performed chef duties. A committee representing Plan members has been meeting with University Administration over recent months with the view to improving members' benefits. This will be accomplished by utilizing an estimated S2.1 million surplus which will be passed along to members by Board of Governor's direction, through a special distribution as of Jan. 1, 1988.

This, fortunately, appears to have been a shortlived problem. Report From The President Harold Unldater Passes Dr. Bob Kosehart McLeod Scores Major Victory for Universities As everyone knows, university underfunding has been a chronic problem in Canada for some time. In recent years, the problem has been compounded by increased student demand for university places. In 1986, Minister Greg Sorbara introduced a corridor funding model which was designed to create a more stable funding model for the university system. However, pressed for increased participation, the government, shortly afterwards, announced the "accessibility" fund. The accessibility fund financially encouraged universities to significantly increase their enrolments in 1987 and 1988. Lakehead, for example, was able to increase its enrolment in 1988 and, hence, took advantage of the accessibility funding. The "cloud" on the horizon was obvious last year when the government announced that the accessibility fund would end this year. Obviously, C.O.U. and the Ontario universities were concerned that students who would spend three and four years in the system would only be funded for the first one or two years. This did not seem fair, and the shouts came loudly for what has been termed "flow through" funding for the new students taken in 1987 and 1988. In the May Provincial Budget, Treasurer Robert Nixon announced that the government was committed to the concept offlow through funding. Commitment is one thing. Money is another. Lyn McLeod has just announced that the government will put an additional S46 million into the system in the 90/91 year and a possible total commitment of some S91 million over the flow through years. This is very good news, and the Minister has been able to accomplish this feat at a time of growing budget restraint. The S46 million additional monies for 1990/91 are on top of the currently committed S88 million accessibility fund and any inflationary adjustments. Lakehead University and the system will benefit from these funds, and I encourage you, if you get the opportunity, to convey our appreciation to Lyn McLeod. LynMcLeod O.C.U.A. Receives Approval of New Funding Formula Related to the above is the commitment by the Minister that she has accepted completely the proposed new long-term funding arrangement proposed by O.C.U.A. for universities and has empowered O.C.U.A. to implement their recommendations. The O.C.U.A. proposals reestabli.s h the commitment to a corridor model that gives a fair degree of funding stability and makes use of the "flow through" monies, when no longer needed for short-term accessibility, to be used for individual institution corridor adjustments. Lakehead will become involved with O.C.U.A. during the next year in the corridor negotiation process. Depending upon the dynamics of the Ontario system, Lakehead is positioned well with respect to moving to a new corridor. Such a move would further enhance the fiscal viability of the institution. Incidentally, Dr. Viv Nelles, the Interim Chairman of 0. C. U.A., has been named by Premier Peterson to become the full-time Chairman ofO.C. U.A. This is good news for the system. Dr. Nelles is a history professor from York who has strong interests in northern issues. Payroll Tax The Treasurer did it to us in his May Budget. The payroll tax introduced would have cost Lakehead University an unbudgeted $80,000 in this year (1989/90) and $240,000 in the 1990/91 budget year. C.O.U. led the charge on behalf of the university system, and the intense pressure put on the government by the schools, hospitals (and opposition) encouraged the Treasurer to announce recently that schools, hospitals and universities would receive a special grant this year to cover the cost and that, in setting the transfer payment level next year, the government Page 2 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - A Q O R A The recent passing of Harold Linklater is truly a great loss for Lakehead University and this region. Harold was many good things to many people, and he has been a tremendous role model and innovator in Native education in this region. Harold's leadership with the Native Teacher Education Program, the M.C.U. Native Experience Program, and the Keshadaying Residence were significant accomplishments. His efforts at Lakehead have been well founded, and the legacy of his work will live on. Harold was a quiet man, but one who I found to be a no-nonsense, get-itdone type. On occasion, when I asked Harold to undertake a task with respect to our Native education initiatives, he was most willing and a very hard worker on behalf of his people and Lakehead University. Harold was a true hockey fan and many a night, I watched him sit in the Fort William Gardens watching the battles on the ice. Harold was a quiet man of great abilities, accomplishments and integrity who will be missed by many. Summer'89 The residences are progressing rapidly and are scheduled to be ready for September.. Many people seem impressed with the quality of the top soil at the Forest/Biology excavation site, and the plans are quickly advancing for the Student Centre/Regional Education Centre project. Several new academic Chairmen are taking office on July 1 as well as Alan Bowd as Director of the School of Education. Dr. Connie Nelson assumes her role as Director of Graduate Studies and Research and, along with the Senate Research Committee, she will get right down to work in terms of the implementation of the award mechanism for the Sl53,000 Research Infrastructure Fund.

This would offer the students the opportunity to be thoroughly immersed in Canadian culture and society. It would also allow the host homes to learn more about Japan and its people. Anyone interested in having a Japanese student as a guest is asked to contact Jane Livingston at 8078. While at Lakehead University, students will have60 hours ofclassroom instruction as well as numerous field trips and presentations given by local historians, artists and educators. Six Lakehead University students (monitors) will work closely with the students. They will lead group discussions following formal class time and will accompany the Japanese students on excursions, encouraging them to speak English. Ontario introduces payroll tax Courtesy ofNotes from AUCC Ontario universities will pay $3 7.5 millionannuallyunderanewprovincial payroll tax to fund the Ontario Health Insurance Plan. This is $24.5 million more than they paid in OHIP premiums prior to the tax. The tax was included in the provincial budget tabled earlier this year. For the universities, it comes on top of a provincial operating increase ofless than 4% for 1989-90 and on top of the impact of the federal budget: the federal budget-which affects universities across Canada - provides, among other things, for a 1% increase (to 11%) in the tax on telecommunications services and increases in unemployment insurance premiums which, for employers, will grow by approximately 15.4%.

AGORA l'age 5 �Distance Education: never too far away to learn Distance can be measured in miles or in time. Distance Education is designed for students who live hundreds of miles from campus or have no time to attend regularly scheduled classes. Susan Cole, Co-ordinator of Distance Education, cites two main advantages for distance studies: convenience and flexibility. The courses are convenient because the course materials are delivered to the student's home. "Apart from due dates for assignments and examinations, the student can work at his/her own pace, and work around individual lifestyles," she said. Learning packages consist of required textbooks, audio and/or visual tapes, study guide and, in some cases, supplemental readings and self-testing materials. A network of Access Sites is operated by Contact North in communities across Northwestern Ontario. These sites include such facilities as audio teleconferencing equipment, telewriters, audio and video (VHS) tape recorders as well as facsimile machines (FAX). Teleconferencing is what helps set Distance Education apart from other programs. These group telephone meetings create a forum for the exchange of ideas with classmates and interaction with the instructor. tutoring device. "I don't think we should teach over the phone." However the telephone is not the only means ofcommunication. "As far as I know, we are the only ones experimenting with Telewriter II graphics," he said. The Telewriterallowshimtowriteoncomputer screens in each of the centres. "I can ask a student to come forward and mark a location or write something on the screen. It allows graphic communication as well as oral." can always say 'we'll solve that on Wednesday.' You just can't do that when the class is spread over several miles, going over written material."

Why does plastic waste not break down in the environment or even in the sea? A.Plastic waste originates largely from discarded wrapping and packaging materials. Although most of the waste consists of two plastics- polyethylene and polystyrene - polyvinylchloride (PVC) and polyesters are being used to an increasing extent; e.g. many "unbreakable" pop bottles are now made of a polyester. If you take a trip to the Supermarket, you will buy milk which is packed in a polyethylene container, a steak which is placed on a polystyrene tray and covered with a film of PVC, potatoes which are July 1989 packed in a polyethylene bag, a polyester bottle of pop, and finally at the check-out your purchases will be packed in a polyethylene bag. Similarly, your prescription drugs will be packed in a polystyrene container which has a polyethylene cap, and the shampoo bottle is also made of polyethylene. These materials ultimately tum up in the garbage, and become the socalled "plastic waste". The persistence of these materials is attributable to their resistance to attack and breakdown by micro-organisms; i.e. to biodegradation. Two criteria are important when assessing biodegradability (a) the molecular weight, and (b) the nature of the material. Let me expand on each of these factors. Plastics are made from polymers, which in tum, are made up of small molecules (monomers) joined together in chains, rather like beads on a string. This polyeth• ylene consists of a large number of ethylene molecules joined together. The molecular weight of ethylene is 28, and that of a polyethylene containing 1000 monomer units is 28,000. Since the strength of a polymer is strongly dependent on the molecular weight, materials used for packaging tend to have high molecular weights (up to a million). It is precisely this requirement which leads to the lack of bio-degradability of polyethylene and polysty· AGORA Mackenzie and his party spent several days here waiting for the ice to move out. On such a tiny piece of real estate, one feels that they are literally walking where Mackenzie walked. Tuesday, June 13: Our rest break continued on our small, unnamed island this morning. It was an ideal spot, too. Warm and sunny with a steady, freshening breeze. And no bugs. Along with fishing and sunbathing, many took time to peruse the indigenous plant life. Wednesday, June 14: This morning the crew was up around 4:30 and back on the final leg into Yellowknife ... the expedition was ahead of schedule. Saturday,June 17: At approximately 650 miles, the expedition has reached an important point on its journey to the Arctic. By the time we leave Yellowknife, we will have been on our way nearly a month. Conditions have been ideal most of the way and the weather across Great Slave Lake was perfect. (Sir Alex must be fuming in his grave with envy.) All members of the expedition are quite eager to complete the last leg of our run on Great Slave Lake and to finally paddle into the current ofDeh Cho •· the Big River. rene, micro-bacteria attacking molecules at their ends only. So there are two vulnerable points in these polymers, whether the molecular weight is 1000 or 1 million. The effective concentration of biodegradable entities therefore decreases rapidly with increasing molecular weight (i.e. 2 per thousand in the first, and 2 per million in the second case), and this relationship is amply borne out by the persistence of plastic waste. The second factor to be considered is that the probability ofattack by microorganisms increases rapidly, if the polymer contains polar groups, e.g. hydroxyl or acid. The polar nature of the group is associated with slight differences in electrical charge between the atoms making up the group. e.g. in the hydroxyl group, the oxygen atom becomes slightly negatively charged, while the hydrogen atom is slightly positively charged. In the case of polyethylene and polystyrene there are no such polar groups. These polymers are neutral (a non-polar), being composed of only carbon and hydrogen atoms, which have very similar electrical characteristics when bonded together. So these materials are not susceptible to bio-degradation.

Report From the President Dr. Bob Rosehart Sexism As a university President, I never envisioned that I would write on this topic in the following context. During the past few weeks, a few situations have developed where, either intentionally or through misunderstanding or interpretation, comments of either an ethnically or sexually biased nature have been made within this University Community. Whatever your sensitivity, in today's society, one would not expect such episodes of verbal discrimination, particularly within the halls of our institution of higher learning. I would ask each and every one of you to consider your comments in light of today's socially equal society. Protest Day Later this month, the students of Ontario are holding a day of protest which will feature a large demonstration at Queen's Park. All universities have been asked to cancel classes to allow the students to participate in the Queen's Park protest. As it is not particularly feasible for our students to participate "en masse", in Toronto, I feel that it would be inappropriate to cancel classes. However, Lakehead's students are planning a local protest on October 31st between 1:00 and 3:00 p.m. and, should students be temporarily absent from class, I would ask your indulgence. AgoraFormat I noticed with the last issue that the Agora has a n~ format. Do you like it? When asked this question myself, I stated that I prefer the old newspaper format but, perhaps, I am a creature of habit. I would be interested in your viewpoints.

AGORA page 2 �Polar Bear Scientist Appointed Director of Lakehead's Centre For Northern Studies Paul Watts has come south to become Director of the Centre for Northern Studies at Lakehead University effective, September 1, 1988. Home had been Churchill, Manitoba where he was Head Biologist at The Institute of Arctic Ecophysiology. A decade ago the Institute was just a dream, but anew Head Biologist has been appointed and it would appear that the dream has become a reality which continues to grow. Reflecting on his association with the North, Dr. Watts said, "After awhile you realize that business, culture, social services and environmental considerations are all important parts of development. Living on the coast of Hudson Bay taught me as much about people as it did about the environment. Learning to work with people and understanding their personal priorities enabled me to contribute to the establishment of the Institute in Churchill. Now I have an opportunity to work with more people on a much larger project, but in many ways it is the same North. To encourage a balanced development of the North there must be an implementation process that involves social, economic, environmental and cultural considerations. The integration of small business with large scale development is a particularly important aspect of northern development." ied both beluga whales and polar bears. He hopes to use some of the specialized lab facilities in Churchill to promote graduate studies at Lakehead and further field work in Northern Ontario. During his orientation to Lakehead, and the embryonic phase of the new Centre, Watts is getting to know the people and what their perspective is on the Centre's development and its integration with the rest of the university. As Director of the Centre, Watts will work closely with administration and faculty from all departments and professional schools. "I am excited about the challenge of working in a variety of disciplines. It's significant that the Lakehead Centre has been developed with input from faculty His love affair with Churchill lasted through his studies on black, grizzly and polar bears and a strange connection to another northern setting. A professor from Norway convinced Watts (or vica versa) to study at the University of Oslo, so he travelled back and forth between Norway and Canada working on his doctorate while setting up the Institute in Churchill. His doctoral thesis examined the ecological energetics ofdenning polar bears and related species. It included looking at the metabolic costs associated with cub production and how that relates to the ecology of where they give birth, body stores and birthing practices. Watts' rigorous scientific training arid his experi· ence with all phases of northern research and education will serve him well in his new position at Lakehead University. International scope The Lakehead Centre for Northern Studies will have five levels of focus. Primary attention will be given to Northwestern Ontario; then Northern Ontario, the North of other Canadian provinces, the circumpolar North (Scandinavia, USSR, Greenland, Alaska etc.) and the high Arctic (the Yukon and the Northwest Territories). The first three areas of focus make the Lakehead Centre unique but the mandate clearly includes the development of a national and international perspective. Watts hopes that his contacts in Manitoba will be of assistance in developing the provincial North perspective ofthe new Centre. "There are some important issues which involve not only Ontario and Manitoba but also Quebec and the Northwest Territories. All these jurisdictions share resources such as polar bears and beluga whales but Hudson Bay, on which these animals depend is not clearly considered within any jurisdictional mandate." While in Manitoba Dr. Watts stud- October 1988 being very involved in student affairs but when I went to my high school reunion my friends reminded me about setting up Nanook's (polar bear in Inuit) Carnival and building a walrus for the ice sculpture contest." His interest in northern animals persisted throughout his BSc. from Guelph where he studied Wildlife Biology. While preparing to do his Masters in Wmnipeg, Watts headed up to Churchill for six months• and stayed thirteen years. "I had always wanted to go to a remote community and set up a research and education institute. To do conservation studies on large mammals you need a laboratory component to compliment your field studies. Churchill is the best place to set up a lab for studies on polar bears and I decided to stay awhile." "Future of Canada ... with the people of the North Dr. Paul Watts members, administration and the provincial government. In particular, the Presidential Advisory Committee on Northern Studies has given the Centre broad roots and a strong sense of direction. There's a real desire across campus to realize our Northern potential and develop a North em vision. I see myself as a facilitator." Early interest in the North I Born in Toronto, Watts thinks his interest in the North started at a very early age. His family moved to Barrie when he was seven and he recalls his high school days with an ironic nostalgia. "I remember AGORA Sometime around Christmas, Watts will start his regular trips into Northwestern Ontario to investigate possibilities for linking community and Lakehead University initiatives and expertise. "I look forward to meeting people in this part of the North....... actually the future ofCanada as a country lies with the people of the North. It used to be that many southerners would question the viability of northern living, but now with high pollution levels and overpopulation the viability of living in the South is a growing issue. We have a chance to lead the way into the 21st century through a balanced and sustainable development of our Northlands." page 3 �New Season, New Hope for Athletics Department The 1988-89 year will see a renewed emphasis on athletics at Lakehead University. The wrestling team, men's and women's basketball team, and the women't volleyball team are ready for a new season. Helping to make some of the changes in Athletics are Clyde Tuyl, Ian Newhouse and Claude Lapre. Oyde Tuyl, the new Athletic Co-ordinator, is a former student at Lakehead University and was Athlete of the Year in 1972/73. Tuyl is optimistic about athletics at the university. Looking at the overall picture, he sees four components to Athletics. At the varisity level, this year marks a new beginning for the teams. Lakehead University is no longer with the Great Plains Athletics Conference (GPAC). Varsity teams will now compete in the Ontario leagues, namely the Ontario University Athletic Associaiton (OUAA) and the Ontario Women's Intercollegiate Athletic Association (OWIAA). The two leagues will encompass men's and women's basketball teams, a women's volleyball team and a wrestling program. The varisty program, while important, is not the only aspect of the Athletic Department, he said.. Club sports, a "hybrid of varsity sports," are competitive in nature but not at the varsity level, he said. This area could include such sports as alpine skiing, men's and women's indoor soccer, and track and field. Intramural sports and recreation also have a place at the University. Most intramural sports are co-ed and both recreational and social in nature. The facilities themselves, such as the pool, running track and squash courts, are available to those who want to be active. Of course, the sports programs are not Tuyl's only concern. "No matter where you are you always have to talk money," he said. "One component ofmy job will beto look at ways and means of financing the athletic programs." "Bear in mind all these things (full programs) won't be in place by next Tuesday," he cautioned. Having worked with Fitness Ontario, the Ministry ofTourism and Recreation he is well aware that good programs take time to develop. Coaching, Training and Researching Dr. Ian Newhouse has come to Lakehead University from Vancouver, bringing with him expertise in physical education. Newhouse, an assitant professor, will be teaching in the new field of sports medicine and exercise physiology. "I have three pursuits while I'm here," he said. "Well, maybe four."His teaching tops the list, but it is quickly followed by research. Newhouse hopes to do research in the field of sports medicine and exercise physiology. To obtain his PhD, Newhouse studied iron deficiency in female athletes, "but there are many other areas I would like to be involved in,'' he said. Coaching will be another facet to Newhouse's stay at Lakehead University. He believes the university can successfully compete in track and field at the varsity level. Cross-country runners have been doing well in local races, such as the Chiropractic Run and the Heart of Thunder Bay Run. "We're on the way to establishing ourselves in cross-country," he said. His duties at the university aside, he would also like to concentrate on his own athletic career. Newhouse was on the National Team in the 400-metre hurdles from 1979-84. However, he has had three years with injuries and this has slowed his time, keeping him from competing in the Olympics. "I would like to continue my training," he said. "If I can go through the winter injury-free, I could drop my time some more." October 1988 ~ >':j \, Jji ·._ ~.;;;,J;:f ~i~ rr. r. r.,· ~~ ' .,-.

Direct from a successful run at Carleton University, where he puttogether a team that ranked six out of 15 teams in Ontario, Lapre is eager and ready to work with the Lakehead University women's volleyball team. To create a good team it is important to establish "a very strong administrative base," he said. "Everyone has to understand the requirements of having a strong volleyball program. Although this won't show on the win-loss record, it is important for the future." Once the team is on the court the athletes will have to show they are making some progress because "people will support a team that is obviously playing all out," Lapre said. In termsofwinloss, ''we have to win as many games as we can," he said. ''That sounds like a stupid statement, but we haven't won a league match." Lapre is ambitious for his team. "The objective is to make the playoffs as soon as possible," he said. "If not this year, there has to be progress enough that players know they will do it next year." The potential exists, he said. All the players are young, but there is some raw talent. "This team has better physical qualities than Carleton, but with less experience," he said. These are the building years, Lapre said. "The building years are the most exciting." AGORA page 4 �1988 - 89: Highest enr<?lment in history of Lakehead University Enrolment at the university reached a new historic high. As of the end of September, the university's full-time enrolment stood at 3,839 compared with 3,446 at the same time last year (an increase ofll.4 per cent). The provincial average increase is 4.3 percent. The previous record high enrolment was 3,695 in 1984. Full-time first year enrolment is up by 36 per cent with a total of 1,635, compared to 1,202 last year. The average provincial increase for full-time first-year students is only 6.5 per cent. Enrolment quotas established last fall have been realized for all programs except the two-year Bachelor of Engineering degree program in which the enrolment in year four is down by 12 students. However, the overall enrolment in the Engineering Department is up modestly. Full time graduate enrolment stands at 130, compared with 121 last year. This is a 7.4 per cent increase. The number of Ontario Scholars has jumped to 116 from last year's number of 83, representating an increase of about 40 per cent. Part time registrations are continuing with a current total of 1,812 students. Last year at this time the total stood at 2,014. The Registrar, Pentti Paularrine, said he expects off-campus enrolment to increase, noting that 128 students have enrolled in the new Distance Education Nursing Degree program. This will probably bring the total number ofpart-time students over last year's figure of2,014. Included in this year's overall enrolment increase are 50 new first year international students. There are 176 students enrolled at this time, compared with 138 lastyear. Paularrine said it is heartening to see an increase in the number of international students, who come from places as diverse as Argentina, Malaysia, and Zambia. "The presence of international students gives Canadian students a chance to learn about other cultures", he said. Cancer research OhitnariPS continued from page 1 research. The group of 100 or so diseases, collectively called cancer, have important psychological, social, spiritual and emotional aspects. These factors need attention as a part of care for cancer patients said Dr. Sellick, who will also be available for consultations with staff and patients. In addition to teaching at Lakehead University, Dr. Sellick will be developing a Health Psychology Program, which should begin in about one year. The program will begin as an interdisciplinary course which will be open to health professionals in the community. Lakehead University and the Cancer Centre expect that Dr. Sellick's joint appointment in both institutions will be the start of a larger program which will attract other investigators. This initial appointment was made possible by a grant received from the Senator Norman M. Patterson Foundation and local private benefactors who donated money for research at the local Cancer Centre. For more information about the research program at the Thunder Bay Regional Cancer Centre, please contact Dr. J.F. Kotalik, Director of the Centre, at 3431610. Unitedway October 1988 Dr. Marco Colina died on August 8, 1988 attheageof56. BorninCusco, Peru, Professor Colina received his BA in History and Geography, a Bachelor of Education and in 1957 his Masters in Comparative Education. From 1958 - 60 he attended the London Institute ofEducation studying English as a Second language before returning to the National University of Education in Lima. He was an exchange teacher to the United States before moving to Canada where he taught French and English in Saskatchewan. In 1965 he received an MA in Spanish and French. Dr. Colina joined Lakehead University in the Department of languages as a Lecturer in Spanish. He received his doctorate in education in 1970 and transferred from languages to the newly created Faculty of Education under Dr. Angus as Dean. For 18years he was an active participant in the Faculty and School of Education. His commitment and drive to advance both Spanish and French language education was well known by his students and colleagues. He was a dedicated teacher who spoke forcefully about his concerns for the quality of education and the need for high standards. Dean Rod McLeod, who delivered the eulogy at his funeral service said "Marco will be remembered for his love of life and his generous hospitality. I'm sure there are those here today who recall his love offine music and the elegant smoothness ofhis step on the dance floor as well as the genuine warmth of his friendship. We will treasure our memories of this brother, friend, teacher and colleague." AGORA Dr. Frank Doan died on June 30, 1988, at the age of 75. Dr. Doan was the first Professor of Philosophy at the Lakehead College of Arts, Science and Technology in 1961. He devoted 17 years to Lakehead Univeristy, until his retirement in 1978. Before coming to Lakehead University, Dr. Doan was a lecturer of philosophy at the University of Toronto from 1949 to 1956. He received his BA in 1942, an MA in 1947 from the University of Western Ontario and his Ph.D in 1952 from Toronto. Dr. Doan spent four years in the United States and accepted positions with the University of Indiana and the University of Houston. Dr. Doan contributed major articles to The Journal of Pbtlosopby and The Review ofMetaphysics. He also completed a book entitled "The Philosophic Response". Dr. Doan is remembered as one of the men who helped to tum a technical college into a university. His lecutres and classes challenged students to explore the minds of philosophers rather than the works of those who analyze them. His intensity inspired his classes, his co-workers and those who knew him well. page 5 �Rites of Autumn (I fl fll - ~ ~ ({I '6 {II "1f Rites o ~lstant helpful n Forest technology students perform stream Inventory In the McIntyre River with an electro-shocker and nets.

This monthly column in theAgora should be of interest. It is used by the Office of Graduate Studies and Research to make you aware of research grant and scholarship opportunities and other related information of value to researchers and students. I always try to find time to write a brief introduction and announce events in the graduate studies area, but the bulk of the writing usually falls to the Research Officer, Miss Trish McGowan. Trish will already be known to many of you, especially ifyou have begun to prepare NSERC or SSHRC research grant applications or if you have been invited to enter into contractual arrangements for research or consulting work. Trish is extremely helpful in these endeavours, particularly ifyou involve her early in the process. Also in the Graduate Studies and Research Office are Mrs. Kris Delorey and Mrs. Uta HJckin. Kris, who we wish a speedy recovery from sick leave, is the Graduate Studies secretary responsible for the graduate student files and data base, the processing of theses for external examination, and the provision of secretarial support to the Director, the Senate Graduate Studies Committee, the Senate Scholarships and Bursaries Committee and the University Animal Care Committee. Now you know why we wish Kris a speedy recovery! In her absence, Miss Carolyn Lehto is doingan excellent job of helping to keep the Office running. Mrs. Uta Hickin is also well known to faculty and students. She assists the Research Officer in matters relating to grants and contracts; she is also secretary to the Senate Research Committee, and can answer most of your questions about faculty and student eligibility in applying for approximately S100,000 ofinternal research support. Finally, Uta and Kris are also the ones to see about graduate student scholarship opportunities. October 1988 Lakehead students did very well this year in the Ontario Graduate Scholarship Open Competition. Of 48 students who applied last October, 17 won an award valuedatS9105overthreeterms. Ofthese winners, four began or continued their graduate studies at Lakehead. Wmnersofour''Institutional'' Ontario Graduate Scholarships, also valued at $9105, were John McArthur (Geology), Nina Sckullch (Psychology), Ann Marie Baker (Psychology), Cathy Woodbeck (English), Nelaon Dmd Fry (Psychology), Geoff Straw (Psychology), Edward Van Voort (Psychology), Arlene Whiffen (Psychology), Dmd McLean (Psychology), and Shelley Mahon (Psychology). Lakehead University Graduate Entrance Scholarships of $1200 each were awarded to H. Huang (Physics), W. U (Education), Q. Wei (Biology), L Yu (Mathematics), D. U (Forestry), X. Uu (Mathemathics), S. Weber (Psychology) and C. Bennett (Psychology). TheAbitibi Price/C.J. Sanders Scholarship was won by Ung Yu (Mathematics). Foreign student Differential Fee Waivers have been accepted by Mr. De-Wei U (Forestry) and Mrs. Wenjle U (Education). Winners of remaining waivers and scholarships will be announced in the near future. Students of high academic standing should be aware of the approaching deadlines for the 1989/90 competition for the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council Post-Graduate Scholarships (16 November), and the Ontario Graduate Scholarships {24 October). Application forms can be obtained at the Graduate Studies and Research Office {UC-2002). Faculty are important participants in the application procedure. A thoughtful, informative letter of reference of appropriate length will maximize a student's chance of success. Congratulations to those winning awards for 1988/89, and good luck to those considering an application to this year's competitions. NEWS FROM NSERC Comments from Arthur May, President ofNSERC Dr. Arthur May, President of NSERC, was interviewed in the September edition of the Council's newsletter, Contact. Dr. May indicated that he expects that all of the new base funding which was awarded to NSERC in the spring by the federal government {S 103 million over five years) will be allocated to equipment. NSERC wants to re-establish an equipment budget at a level near 10% of its total grant AGORA budget. Dr. May stated that the forthcoming equipment competition will be an improvement over the last, and therefore, people who need equipment should apply. Given the continued funding limita• tions, NSERC may need to make adjustments to how funds are allocated within existing programs. Dr. May feels that the time is approaching when Council will have to define the size of the community it can support; Council, therefore, will need to consider higher selectivity in someofits programming. NSERC expects to put a definitive Strategic Plan in the public domain this autumn. This Plan will set the Council's broad and general directions for the next decade. PEER OVERVIEW COMMITTEE REPORTS In late 1987, Council established the Ad Hoc Peer Overview Committee to examine the peer review system as it relates to the Operating Grants Program. The Committee's responsibilty was to determine whether the Program's threepronged thrust (to maintain a broad base of research, to foster excellence, and to provide adequate support to starters) is still valid. In its final report lastJune, the Committee asked Council members to determine iflimits should be placed on the size of the community that can be supported with the current budget. Other key issues of program philosophy raised by the committee include the treatment of starters, the possible introduction of a means to encourage competition between disciplines, and additional funding for the very best researchers. Council will now look at these and other fundamental questions as it prepares the final version of its Strategic Plan. The committee was also asked to recommend refinements to the peer review process to improve the Program's effectiveness. While the Committee reported no fundamental problems with the process, it did perceive a need to tighten up procedures in some areas. More extensive briefings ofgrant selection committee chairmen and new members, clearer guidelines on interpretation of Council policies, and participation by senior staff and members of Council and/or permanent committees in grant selection committee policy meetings are some of the steps that will be taken to ensure a more consistent approach to peerreviewacross all grant selection committees. Other recommendations of the Committee under discussion by Council include: support of graduate students as page 10 �an evaluation criterion; examination of the nature, role and function of engineering research in Canadian universities and possible revisions to the evaluation guidelines for engineering and applied science; and mechanisms to encourage collaborative research. GRANTS AWARDED NSERC recently announced the results of the Forestry Transitional Support II Competition. The purpose of this support mechanism is to assist the six forestry schools through the period of transition away from the special support previously provided by NSERC an~ the C:an~an Forestry Service to full integration into NSERC program structure. This year's competition was held in order to disburse the uncommitted balance of $480,000 which remained following a major review of applications in 1987. One of the four sub-proposals submitted by Lakehead University was successful. Dr. Reino Pulkld and Mr. Ulf Runesson have been awarded $61,000 over two years in support of their project, entitled "Interfacing Remote Sensing and a Geographic Information System for Assessing Sapling Stage Jack Pine Stands". Professor Bob Day's (Forestry) Ontario Renewable Resources Research grant was renewed for 1989/90 for his research on the "Root Regeneration Potential ofJack Pine Container Stock". The research is intended to lead to a better understanding of the root development of container grown seedlin~ and the effect of root development on tree stability and survival. Phases II and III of Dr. Gary Murchison's (Forestry) TRIM Data Analysis reseal'ch contract with the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources have been approved. In Phase II, Dr. Murchison and his research associate, Joanne Kavanagh, will employ TRIM sampling techniques within plots in mature jack pine stands; in Phase III, this study will be extended to immature jack pine stands. Dr.Ken Brown (Forestry) has been awarded a research contract by the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources for a project entitled, "Effects of post bud set N, P, and K fertilization and subsequent cold hardening treatment on bud development, root development and the induction of cold hardiness in second crop black spruce container stock". Dr. Brown and his graduate research assistant, Steve Warrington, will be cooperating with a number of private growers in the Thunder Bay area in order to discover whether current cultural practice can be improved to produce a stronger stock. October 1988 We would like to congratulate these researchers, and we wish them continued success in their research.
