ARGUS GETS $6790

The A.M.S. budget hasbeen
setl Where did your $20.00
go?
The Argus, the university
newspaper, has received an
allottnent of $6790; total society expenses amount to
$2,665. This figure includes
an allotment of $1,740forthe
Arts Society Council. University Schools, including
Business, Engineering and

its other faculties tias received $860. Numerous clubs
received funds (allottnents
appear in brackets): Business Club ($35), Camera
Club ($557), Chess Club
($95), Chinese StudentAssociation ($230), Ukranian Club
($125), and W.u.s.c. ($55).
Space does not permit the
presentation of all club disbursements.

Other interesting items on
the budget include a reservation of $1500 for honoraria or wages, calendar
sales of $4,000 and $1200
expense allowance for unplanned events. Total estimated revenues amount to
$33,885 and total estimated
expenses amount to $33,492
leaving a net income of
$393.

Mr. Hider, A.M.S. Treasurer, hoped to be able to
show a surplus of $3000.
This surplus would be required to cover the costs
of a summer program
($1000), 1967 Welcome Week
($1000), and expenses incurred by delegates to the
C.U.S. Seminar, and two
other Conferences ($850).
One item noticeably absent from the proposed bud-

�NOV. 11, 1966

THE ARGUS

DAVIS' POSAP

PAGE THREE

- SCHMOSAP

BY ROBERT MAIN

I feel that Mr. Davis, the
minister of education for
Ontario, has made a farce of
the term •student aid". The
Province of Ontario Student
Award Plan (P.O.S.A.P.)can
only be termed a folly and
an insult by anyone who has
had the misfortune of dealing
With it.
•
MEANS TEST

To begin with, a student
must submit himself and his
parents to the embarrassment and ridicule of a
"means test9. This test is
an unjustifiable infringement
of personal freedom. No
matter how confidential the
applications are, government has no right to expect
answers to questions con..:
cerning the personal expenses and debts of an aPplicant. Questions referring to medical expenses,
bank accounts, pensions and
other forms of income such
as alimony are personal
matters, not to be thrown
open to the inspection of
some official in Toronto.
But in order for a student
to qualify for this type of
aid, the parents of the student must reveal their complete financial status •with
regards to income, loans,
medical expenses, estimated earnings, real estate,
investments, savings and
outstanding debts. This is
no business of the Government of Ontario,
"DA VIS FOLLY•
Under the old system of
type A and B bursaries, a
needy student with a B a-

verage could count on at
least $250 aid. While this
is obviously not enough for
a year at university, it is
by far better than the existing •Davis Folly9 P.o.S.A.P. Under this plan, a
student receiving $250 aid
would actually get only $40
in the form of a bursary.
That is, the first $150 is
loan while only 40% of the
remainder is clear for the
student.
$5000 PER STUDENT
Mr. Davis has been quoted
as saying that the government has spent a quarter of
a billion dollars in student
aid to some 55,000 applicants. This comes out to
about $5,000 per student.
I would like to ask Mr.
Davis what happened to the
$4,940 he still owes me?
As if P.O.S.A.P. isn't enough of a mockery of student aid, the applicant is
expected to wait anywhere
from six weeks to three
months to receive word about
his loan. What is a student
in need of financial aid expected to do during this period of investigation by P .0.S.A.P.? The conditions are
so bad at Ryerson Polytechnical Institute, that the
Ryerson student council is
forced to make short term
loans to students awaiting
word on their awards. On
our own campus the situation is not quite as desperate, but many students will
indeed feel the lack of funds
if their loan applications are
delayed much longer. Many
are already finding it difficult to see where their rent

for November is going to
come from.
There is no need for a delay in these loans. As it
appears now, every application must go through one
desk in Toronto. Mr. Davis
has a billion dollar education budget and yet he can
apparently afford only one
man to process all the aPplications for loans.
REGIONAL AID BUREAUS
The Canadian Union of Students has stated that free
education is the only answer
to the manifold problems
brought about by any student
aid programme. While this
is undoubtedly going to come
about in the very near future, it does not solve the
present difficulties. Universities still depend on tuition fees for a large part
of their working budgets and
until this can be rectified
• with governmental aid to the
university rather than to the
student, the present problems will exist. It would
seem a logical solution to
the problem would be a decentralization of the present
system. The province should
be divided into sectors based on the number of students planning post-secondary school education. Each
one of these sectors could
then more effectively deal
with all the aid which must
now go through one office in
Toronto. These regionalaid
bureaus could deal on a personal basis with applicants
for financial support and
would effectively reduce the
present means test and wai-

ting period. The financial
support for this type of system would come from the
Federal Government, shifting a greater percentage of
government revenues to the
joint municipal and provincial
governments. This
would give each province the
finances necessary for such
a system. It would eliminate the present split of
responsibility between the
Federal and Provincial Governments in which each government claims the other is
at fault for any mishandling
of student aid.

STUDENT VIEWS
Much discussion and debating is presently going on
in Toronto and Ottawa as to
what is to become of postsecondary school education.·
It is the responsibility of all
students to express their
views. Student apathy in the
past has led to the situation
which exists today. POSAP
is clearly not the solution to
the problem, and it's about
time
the
students
of
Lakehead University forgot
about their usual apathetic
natures and expressed their
views.

BY OWEN MARKS

Port Arthur,

Some men take a bitter delight in being leaders of
• ANTI• crusades. And it is
common knowledge that any
worth-while venture will be
subjected unceasingly to petty criticism. Such is the
plight of EXPO '67.
Despite frantic assurances
by EXPO officials that Canada's world fair will be
Canada's, and not Quebec's,
and not Montreal's, sourgrape critics have consistently attempted to portray
a perverted impression that
Ex;Po is a municipal undertaking (of course, the municipality in question being
Montreal).
One is unable to truly comprehend the reasoning .of
these coneervat1ve, provincial and reactionary critics.
Canada has always been subject to a withering plague of
apathy. And usually the men
who complain about this disinterest, are the cause of it.
Locally, this same process
is apparent. EXPO has been
played down continuously by
men in so-called responsible
position. They scream to the
masses, "Montreal is EXPO! Since EXPO is in
French Canada, it is not a
Canadian venture!• Surely

these men realize that Montreal was the only Caoadian
city willing to take on the
burden of EXPO. If it were
not for Montreal, there would
be no EXPO for Canada in
1967.
But why should some of
our local factions persist in
condemning the one great
Canadian adventure of 1967?
The only reason I am able
to ascertain is that our business men are afraidoflosing
tourist support (Montreal is
2,000 miles away). These
men are willing to satisfy
their own pocketbooks at the
expense of the success of
EXPO.
A high ranking officer of
EXPO once condemned the
narrowness of the Fort William newspaper for its continuous, senseless harangue
against EXPO. This man
stated that 70% of Canada
knew of EXPO and that if
this local editor were to present the facts without bias,
this percentage f~ re would
surely be raised. Unfortunately, this Fort Williameditor has not heeded the request. EXPO will continue
to be subject to ridicule in
this area.
But unless these short-

sighted men begin to realize that •EXPO is worth all
the problems it has, and that
EXPO can be a beginning
of a Canadian, and not
American, orientated cul"ture, Canada will never be
Canadian.

pointed 01.1t there is no need to worry.
Although the Council has alloted certain
sums to clubs and organizations, experience
shows that all the money will not be spent.
Mr. Hider next presented a change in
treasury ~licy. His motion read approximately:
that the treasurer be instructed
that no funds be allotted ... until a list of
the executive members of the clubs and
the executive members of the clubs and
organizations is listed.•
President Tocheri brought up the controversial subject of political parties on campus.
Under his direction a Committee
chaired by Jack Lemmon (Arts II) was
established to investigate the feasibility
of fund disbursements to such organizations.

The Engineering and Technology Society
Constitution was next on the agenda.
Councillors decided that since they did
not have an opportunity to scrutinize
it and since they wanted the Chief Justice
to review it, tabling the item momentarily
would be most logical. Then Mr. Gerry
Hashiguchi, 1966/67 yearbook organizer
presented councillors with the pertinent
data concerning the publication of the
Nor•wester. This year, Mr. Hashiguchi
would like to expand the yearbook from
112 pages to 160 as well as to increase
the number of coloured photographs.
The discussion, howerver, was not conclusive. But at any rate preparations
for publication are underway.
There were a number of other items
on the agenda, but none that warrant
serious notice. Incidentally, this meeting
will undoubtedly go down in the A.M.S.
Annals as being one of the shortest meetings - a mere two hours (8 - 10:00 p.m.)I

MAX IS OUR MAN
With all the publicity and student reaction being dir-

ected towards the varsity hockey and basketball teams
during the fi-rst few months of classes many people
fail to realize the importance of the "man behind the
scene•.
Here at L.U. our •number one• man behind the scene
is artsman Dave •Max• Magee. Dave is the man who,
unnoticed by most fans, will spend countless hours during the season taping sticks and players and repairing
equipment.
Magee was born in Port Arthur and raised in Atikokan. He attended high school in Atikokan and spent
his final year at P .A.C .I. •Max•, as he is called by
the hockey players, has always been interested in sports
but thought that he could benefit the team more in a
managerial post.
This season Dave is taking on an
assistant in John Dampier in his first year at L.U.
after taking two years of pre-medecine. Both these
men along with basketball trainer George Roy also
act as liaison between the players and coaches and are
in every part as much of the team as the players.
I must make a public apology to rowing veteran Rob
Gerry whose name I forgot to mention in my last edition
story on rowing... Gerry, a long time member of the Fort
William Rowing Club was looked upon this past season
as the unnamed team leader ... congratulations to the
Nor'Westers basketball team for their opening game
victory over Dinty' s ... individual star of the game would
have to be rookie Don Holmstrom who notched 23 points
...fan favorite Larry Herbert excited the crowd to an
uncontrollable degree with his twenty foot swish jump
shot and possibly the two points that won the game for
Lakehead ... Herbert' s fan club members almost rioted
and did actually go to the point of throwing things when
coach Bistowe removed their hero from the game after
his record performance ... after the game Herbert was
quoted as saying •1 like the upper deck of the players•

CAGERS OPEN SCHEDULE
By LARR\' HEBERT

Wednesday November 3rd,
saw the Lakehead University
basketball team open its
schedule with a 65-63 win
against Dinty' s Kentuckians,
last years Thunder Bay Senior Men's Champs.
Don Holmstrom a rookie,
with 23 points, Bob Elvin
with 12 and Myron Warywoda
with 11 paced the L.U. team.
Bob Love turned in a solid
performance for Dinty' s as
did Ted Norland. All players
in the starting lineup, Hol-

mstrom, Elvin, Warywoda,
George Kostyshyn and Moe
Semenuik played their high
school basketball at Fort
William Collegiate.
Coach Bruce Bristowe was
pleased with his team's first
outing. He stated that in
this game he wanted to establish the team's patterns
and get the many rookies
orientated.
In the game that followed
the L.U. girls team went
down to defeat 38-18 to C.K.
P.R. Golden Tones.

Rod Ferguson fired two
rounds of 74 at Fort William Municipal Golf Course,
and 77 at Strathcona in Port
Arthur, to capture the L.U.
low gross championship.
Barry McNamee took second
place with 154.
Low net honors went to Byron Brodie who netted 142.

GIRLS?

PORT ARTHUR ARENA

BY LARRY HEBERT

I'm sure the boys ofL.U.
have nothing personal against Bill Shannon's legs, but
it seems to us that a female
coach would be more appropriate for the girls' basketball team than Bill •Legs•
Shannon.
There is certainly no shortage of sports for the girls
to participate in. To name
a few there is badminton,
basketball, curling, bowling,
swimming, and modern dancing. There is also no shortage of girls. Even on the
athletic council we have Elspeth Craig, Chris Kierzkowslci and Mar. Hamalainen.
But no where can be found
a female Athletic Director.

LES JEUNES
FEMMES

The Sports Department
feels that the girls need
someone to aid and gaide
them because there are some
things about which you just
can't talk to Bill • Ann Landers• Shannon. We' re sure
that very few girls at Lakehead University had male
Physical Education teachers
in higb school. We would
like to make it clear that
we are not criticizing Bill
Shannon in any way, but we
feel that a female Athletic
Director is badly needed and
would be a welcomed addition with the new fieldhouse.

FUNERAL
IN BERLIN

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

_ In these post-Fleming years another Englishman, Len
Deighton, has been dishing up a delectable menu of
master-spy novels, with a dash of cookery books thrown
in for variety... (it's the spice of life.)
But James Bond, the Knave, had absconded with most
of the British government's financial pie, leaving little
but crllll!rbs for his disgrlll!tled fellow-agents. Consequently, Funeral in Berlin lacks the moneyful spectaculars of •Thunderbau• and •From Russia, With Love•.
It does, however, combine that grey, obscure life of the
real secret agent with more than a touch of spine,-tingling
English mystery flavour.
Deighton starts off slowly. Routine job. Soviet scientist plans to defect. Needs safe passage into Western
world. Preliminary arrangements go rather well. But
then! Complication is compounded upon complication, as
everyone from homosexual Mr. Hallam at the Home
Office, to sometimes Jew, sometimes Nazi, Johnnie Vulcan
in West Berlin, proves untrustworthy. A whirlwind of
action and counteraction is stirred up in London, Berlin,
P:tague, with developments that baffle rather than enlighten the reader. Then, after a momentous climax
which seems to clarify the situation, new danger threaten;
on the home front, and the plot is concluded with a dynamic and highly orijinal twist.
•Funeral in Berlin is no classic, but, for the •cloakand-dagger• fan, it provides boundless excitement and
enjoyable reading.

Movie Review

AGONY
AND
ECSTACY
'In the Agony and the Ecstacy, Pope Julius II commissioned
Michelangelo to paint a fresco on the ceiling of the
Sistine Chapel. The pay was poor, the work inordinately
difficult; the artist was a sculptor, not a painter--he
spent four begrudging years, interrupted by abandonment, sickness and local wars before finally completing
a work which was hailed, then and now, as a masterpiece. It's a pity the s.;,me can't be said for the movie.
The watching of the movie, of itself, became for me,
the Agony and the Ecstacy. Let me explain: from the
book by Irving Stone has come a screen play so bland
as to dismay even the most naive. there are scenes
which smirk of the trite (eg: a mountain top revelation to inspire the artist). In other words, the story
is just one big blow out. The characterization, on the
other hand, is magnificent. Heston and Harrison have
some of the best antagonistic scenes ever filmed. Here
are two giants, bringing to life a remarkable feeling of
involvement, as proud personalities clash and history
is made. This is the ecstacy, and for me, the film was
worth seeing for these two performances alone.
There is more, however. The colour is beautiful, and so
is Diane Cilento. There is a brief display of some of
Michelangelo's works at the beginning of the film, which
has been hailed by some to be the best part of the entire picture. You will have to judge for yourself.

Students Beware

BY IRIS CONCHIE

tradlction, or what! I
We are not revolutionaries seeking to
overpower the merchants and render them
profitless. It is a matter of moving with
the times and opposing the old..fashioned
and out-moded concepts.
The concept of today, "the customer is
king"", is plainly seen in the fashion world
where competition has gone wild to please
the every whim of the customer. In Southern Ontario, stores must cater to the market to survive. At the Lakehead we are
isolated in the frozen northland; therefore the merchants have the upper hand.
In 1913 Henry Ford built a Model T Ford
which remained the same until 1926. His
famous statemnt was, "Ycu can paint my
cars any colour you want as long as its
black•. It is now the year 1966 and our
local concept seems to parallel this, that
we can deal at local stores anyway we want
as long as it is the way set by the merchants.
University students on a limited budget
would definitely be drawn to the stores
giving discounts, and as a result, these
stores my increase their overall profits.
The Ski Clubs of the Lakehead have offered the students a 20% discount for some- time now. Was this a rrecedent?
Stay tuned but don t bold your breath.

Polution Problems
BY WILLIAM SHERIDAN

Pollution and especially water pollution is something
that most people are against. But what exactly is water
pollution and what does it effect? Can a body of water
be polluted for man and not for other organisms? The
answer and other questions are currently the concern of
Dr. Ozburn of the biology department and his research
staff.
Late last spring Dr. Ozburn, Mr. Bruce Bristowe and
research assistant Don Dutchak conducted a preliminary study of the lower reaches of the McIntyre River.
The study bas since been expanded into a full scale
research project employing two graduate students,
Lorne Everett and Kyle Bishop.
_
Evidence indicates that the invertebrate fauna of the
lower McIntyre has undergone a drastic change from
the expected norm. By establishing laboratory cultures
of some of these invertebrates and testing the effects
of various known pollutants Dr. Ozburn• s group hopes to
determir\e what changes have occurred and if they are
indicative of pollution.
Credit must go to Dr. Ozburn and the biology department for the lead in an area of such vital concern to
the community and the nati«?n• Good show Bio.I

,

BY PERRY SNOW

BY RUSS R0THNEY

Buttons, posters, and things are blooming on university
campuses across Canada. Conversation is shifting(slightly)
from booze, broads, and wheels to Texas cowboys and
napalm.
In September the UniversityofTorontoCEWV(Committee
to End the War in Viemam) designated November 11th
and 12th as the Canadian •student Days of protest" (SOP)
Many individuals who volunteered time and effort in
promoting the SOP have encountered the usual attempts
at intimidation by some bigoted elements in society.
Nonetheless, student groups in at least Montreal, Ottawa,
Kingston, St. Catherines, Toronto, London, Port Arthur,
Winnipeg, Saskatoon, Regina, Calgary, Edmonton and
Vancouver have organized local actions to extend the
customary concept of remembrance Day.
PAST AND PRESENT
Our own student Vietnam Action Committee (independent) like the U. of T. CEWV), is asking us to •remember
those who dies in past wars, and to demand that the present slaughter in Vietnam be stopped•.
Apparently a few people claim to not understand why
committees of this type should be tolerated. They consider such a formation to be an unnecessary threat to
individual thought.
Do they think that university students are sheep who are
unable to resist any attitudes which are presented to them
in an organized way?
A VOIDING THE ISSUE
Surely any person who would attempt to make an issue
of the existence of a committee is simply unhappy about
its stand and is either unwilling or unable to offer criticism of this stand.
In the case of Viemam, pro-Johnson policy propaganda is
pumped out by multi-million dollar organizations in the
U.S. Should concerned student groups (with no funds) be
prohibited as a threat to freedom of thought? .•. On the
contrary, they represent freedom of thought.
CRUCIAL MATTER
The question of whether or not the Viemamese are entitled to the right of self-determination is not a mere
academic matter. At this moment the blood of civilians
and soldiers is running freely.
••. On the stage of the University Center Theater at
1:00 p.m., Friday, Nov. 11, there will be students, professors, clergymen, politicians, peace activists, labour
leaders, folk-singers, buttons, posters and things.

Everywhere one looks in this university, he sees a
melodramatic display of posters and buttons of protest.
It seems that the Viet Nam Committee has got something to complain about--American involvmentin Viemam.
The followers of this committee have not only taken an
unrealistic approach to the situation, but have simply
amassed a general cry of protest. These fanatics (?)
have inadvertantly climbed on the current bandwagon,
they fail to assess and evaluate their own diverging personal opinions.

REASON IS THE KEY
Nearly every mind is capable of making sound judgments
via a method called reasoning. The ability to reason is
inherent in Joe Individual and also in Pete Politician (the
joiner). Joe Individual will try: l)to assimilate whatever
information is available which deals with the things under
consideration, in this case the Viemam War; 2) to assess
and reassess this information and discard what is irrelevant and basically propagandist; 3) to question the
validity and reliability of their information; 4) to adapt
a divergent method of thought as much as he is able
in an attempt to consider all possible facets and aspects
of the situation. Then and only then will he make a judgment which he is awa:r;e is still susceptible to further
future information that will,alter or change it.

INDIVIDUALISM NOT REGIMENTATION
Not so with Pete Politician. He· will adapt the same
process of reasoning. Here is where the difference is
apparent; Pete will stop at the first step. He will assimilate the available information, batter it about in generalities, and on this will base his definite, unyielding judgment. He then forms a group because, after all, others
should benefit from his •judgment". This group takes
up the cross, organizes discussions, convenes ina •march"
in which the dedicated participants wear a look of intense
conviction, and delude themselves that they are accomplishing something.

CHANCELLOR EXAMINES RARE BOOKS
A procession composed of members of the faculty,
administration, and A.M.S. Council who paraded from
the University Centre Building, initiated the official
opening of not only the new library building, but also
the additions to the main university structure and the
residence.
The members of the procession made their way along
the sidewalk, draped by numerous foreign flags (rePresenting the cosmopolitan atmosphere found in the residence), to the main floor of the library. Here the
guest of honour was Senator Norman McLeod Paterson,
Chancellor of the University. Prior to the senator's
official opening of the library, the audience, which was
of only moderate size, heard several speeches including
addresses from Dr. Bartley, chairman of the board of
Governors and Dr. Tamblyn, University President.
Perhaps the most interesting highlight of the afternoon was Senator Paterson's presentation of a 200year-old Bible to the chief librarian. This is another
addition to the already numerous rare books on display in the library.
The affair culminated in a guided tour of the library
for all visitors after which a reception was held in
honour of Senator Paterson.

BlACK IS BLACK

The Circle K Massacre
•Black is Black•which took
place on Saturday night,, October 29, was a monstrous
success. Everyone from babies to mummies and from
Roman soldiers to Arabian
girls attended the dance.
Everyone present was in true
Halloween spirit, (although
there were some that carried
the •spirits• a little too far).
With regards to the •posh·
office• leased to Circle K
for the evening, counesy of
the A.M.S., we thought it was
quite appropriate. We're not
proud. There were no grotesque business transactions
carried on inside •the office• as some joker took
off with the •mama• roll of
toilet tissue. The •office•
brought out a true atmosphere and accented the eyecatching spider web which
some daddy spider spun beside it. Or is it lady spiders
that spin webs?
The Circle K realizes that
the •oFFICE.,--or should I
say outhouse--was in a rather useless position because for most it was a long
trek from the cave to the
fathest extremities of the
hall.
The cave which housed the
band for the Massacre was
relatively empty of spooks
and horrors. The Circle K
realized that such would not
contribute to the performance given by the
Tierras.

Crestology 1a6
Crestology, although completely voluntary, has the
largest enrollment of any
course in the University.
It's popularity, in fact, is
so high that three or four
staff members must be at

the necessary material.
This •applied sociology
course• is one of the few
functions that bring all faculties together in harmonious co-existence. Advantages and benefits are countless.
One can become proficient
in the an of public speaking
as many topics are •discussed•. Here one can obtain his degree in •a.s.",
his M.S. •more of the same•
and his Ph.D. •piled higher
and deeper•. One can also

sausages and quenching his

VOL. I, NO. IV

LAKEHEAD UNIVERSITY, LAKEHEAD ONTARIO

NO.2-UNIVERSITY SCHOOLS

CRISIS FEVER NO.1 -USA
South Dakota senator, and
Kennedy man, George McGovern, spoke to a large
enthusiastic gathering at the
Lakehead University Centre
on Friday, November 18.
Condemning what he called
•a crisis fever" now in the
United States, McGovern
suggested that his country
be . willing to accept that
every overthrow of a national
government in some part of
the world did not constitute
a major problem for the U.S.
McGovern proposed that
the United States be willing
to extend such programs
such as Food For Peace.
He suggested that an American Foreign Policy of domestic aid, rather than military, would be far more appealing to world nations.
In an ARGUS interview
afterwards,
the senator
stated that he thought that
the draft in the United States
could be substituted by a
volunteer
system which
could be found operating successfully in most countries.
Shortly after his speech
Senator McGovern agreed to
an interview with the ARGUS.
QUESTION: Do you ~onsider
President Johnson a handicap to you as a Democrat?
ANSWER:
The President
seems to be losing a lot of
his popularity. Recent polls
show this drop in presidential popularity prior to the
November 8 election. So in
that sense, the President's
skidding in popularity does
serve as a problem for those
of us who are running on the
Democratic ticket.
QUESTION: Do Americans

• ... Replace the Draft.'

seem to be jumping potty
lines in order to vote for
liberal or conservative candidates?
ANSWER: The tendency for
the American public in 1964
and 1966 to vote for the man
rather than the party was
apparent. They tend to
support moderate but somewhat forward-looking liberal
candidates. It seems to be
a tendency to stay middle
of the road rather than either
on the left or on the right.
QUESTION: Should Canada
allow Draft Dodgers to
enter?
ANSWER:
This seems a
matter for the Canadian government to resolve, so I
wouldn't like to give a
comment. There is a better
way for Americans to show
their honest dissent on
the war than in going to

Canada.
QUESTION:
What do you
think of student demonstrations against the war in Vietnam?
ANSWER: These protests
are healthy and are part of
the tradition of free expression. Those who state that
dissenters should be drafted
because of their protests
are in effect saying we
ought to impose a moritoriam on freedom and on conscience. I think it would be
a tragedy for us to fight
so blindly for freedom in
Vietnam then lose it in the
U.S.
QUESTION: Should the draft
be dropped?
ANSWER: I have hoped for
a number of years to replace
the draft by a volunteer system
by upgrading the
rewards, remunerations and
the attractiveness of military life. We could probably
recruit enough people on a
voluntary basis to meet our
defence needs without the
draft.
QUESTION: Is the Unamerican Activities Committee
constitutional?
ANSWER: The Unamerican
Activites Committee has
frequently exceeded the jurisdiction of a congressional
committee. The UAC has
seemed to frequently follow
the role of a judge and prosecutor. This is a function
for the courts, not for a
congressional
committee.
This particular congressional group has exceeded
the propriety if not the parliamentary jurisdiction of a
congressional committee.

The introductory meeting
of the newly-formed Board
of Governors forNorthWestern Ontario's College of
Applied Arts and Technology
was held November 17 at
the Nor-Shore Motor Hotel.
The ensuing fate of Lakehead University's University
Schools Division was not discussed according to L.U.
Dean of Science, Hart, who
is one of the new governors.
The potential crisis for
our technology students is
contained the College Act
which makes provision for
courses now offered at L.U.
This would mean that all
University Schools' students

bands, court costs, pay for
the Chief Magistrate and for
the Chief Constable. Several
minor, insignificant questions arise from this break..
down. For instance, what
are court costs? Do the jobs,
trying as they are, actually
wa.rrant the remuneration
received by the individuals
concerned? From the records, the proctors receive
$1.25 an hour, plus free admission to all University
events at which they are on
duty. A further question logically follows. Does the University actually need to
spend this much on aprivate
police force? It might be
added that the proctor force
is the only suchorganization
on campus that receives any
pay at all. Is this drain on
AMS funds as necessary as
it is made out to be? And

with respect to the salary
allotments for the Chief Justice and his assistants, was
it kept in mind that the Judicial Committee saw no
action last year?
Another gem on the budget
comes under the heading of
anticipated revenue. The
AMS is preparing to sell
calendars in the next few
weeks. The price of these
calendars is $1.00. Hopefully the AMS budgeted for
a realization of $1650, or a
sale of 3500 of these items.
Where are the 3500 people
who want to pay a dollar
for the privilege of telling
the day of the week from a
beautifully illustrated Lakehead U. calendar? Assuming
that every full-time and
part-time student buys one,
1700 will remain unsold. The
loss of expected revenue will

woul~ be forced to pursue
their studies at the new college.
Dr. Hart also stated that
the College need not be established in one permanent
building but is more likely •
to be distributed in several
throughout the region. It is
expected that courses will
begin in two areas--Fort
Francis-Kenora and the
Lakehead.
The Board will be required
to select a name for the new
College before receiving its
charter. Two recently chartered Colleges received the
names Mowhawk and Algonquin. What's next, Ojibway?

'67 YEARBOOK-$2.50
The '67Nor'Westerwillbe
the biggest yearbook ever
published at Lakehead University. Gerry Hashiguchi,
editor, reports that the book
will contain 160 pages, an
increase of 48 pages over
last year. This increase was
needed to give better coverage of the student body and
their activities for the year.
New features being introduced are: a three (3) colour
embossed hard cover, a 16
page colour introduction,
colour coverage of the
Winter Carnival. A full colour photograph, still a secret, will be used for a colour
liner.
•
Due to an increase in the
yearbook budget this year,
the books will have to -be
sold to undergraduate students who want them. The
cost will be about $2.50 to
the student. The A.M.S. fees
will be used to subsidise the

WHERE DID Al.I. THE MONEY GO?
One of the highlights of the
A.M.S. budget is the Science
Society&gt; s breaking even.
This contrasts ratherfavorably with the Arts Society&gt; s
$1740 deficit. The University
Schools' Society had to settle
for a mere $860. The University Schools loses $1.40
per student while Arts
manages to lose $4.30 a
student. Aren't the poor deprived Science students
worth losing money on? Why
i s there such a difference
between the per capita
losses?
Our illustrious proctors,
those gentlemen on the prowl
at every Universityfunction,
are expected to spend $1507.
All but $400 is to be usedfor
salaries. Of this remaining
amount , $250 has been set
aside for operating expenses. This includes arm-

WHAT HAPPENED?
The Science dinner dance debacle indicated to us that
the A.M.S. entertainment committee should immediately
re-explore its priorities.
After much sound planning, advertising and decoration
the dinner dance found itself competing with a varsity
hockey game and several private parties. The fact that
only about twenty tickets were sold is sound proof
that the average student prefers to get drunk informally
and inexpensively.
Past dinner dances have attracted three to four hundred people, about two hundred of whom were students.
This left the vast majority without a university social
event to attend during the weekend. On the evening of
October 12 there was finally a choice. Most chose the game.
Additionally, most students can't afford a 50 cent
drink after admission and transportation expenses. The
Lakehead University social calendar may be very impressive, worthy of a much larger institution, but it
seems to cater almost exclusively to the minority with
cars and cash.
We believe that the entertainment committee should
.concern itself more with activities which have a wider
appeal. Frequent informal dances with local bands would
be as much appreciated by the average student as thousand dollar weekend •extravaganzas".

NO DISCOUNT SON !

O.K.
So everybody's proud he's got a university in town.
Keeps all the kids home. Saves money. Makes good citizens. Good future citizens. Period.
Everybody's happy. Doesn't cost him too much. But
don't let those young weirdos ask for any favours downtown. Against good old capitalism, or something. Besides, they should work like their fathers; like three
cords a day or something. Make them earn everything.
Earn it, son.
So all the young L.U. hippies unable to get their discount downtown. Bad for the profits or something.
Downtown Business Association say no go, son. No
discount. The nurses abuse us with their discount. Can't
get hurt anyway. Where else can the hippies go? Where
else?
DBA says no. Everyone says no. Can't go against the
pack, son. Nothing like a democracy, though, son. Why
do you protest, son?
Everyone says no; except one.
Thank you, Mr. Cooper.

NO MATTER WHAT
THE BIAS

The ARGUS has been regularly accused of biased reportage and irresponsible editorial policy. The most
deserving criticisms have been printed, including the
letter to the editor from the Jaycee's which appears on
page three of this edition.
Such criticism is valid if the traditional concepts of
journalism apply to a bi-weekly University magazine.
However, the ARGUS chooses to reject these concepts
for purposes of raising a little (.. **).
If we undertook to present straightforward coverage of
University news we could neither attract readers, nor,
provoke interest.
It might also be added that this University does not
generate a great deal of news.
The ARGUS will print the most blatantly prejudicial
reports on absolutely anything which we deem of interest
to our readers. We feel no pressing responsibility to
defend this policy, but must assert that no copy will
be rejected for reasons of biased content, no matter what
the slant.
We are University students here, and should be able
to ~ecide for ourselves what is right and what is wrong.
We should be exposed to all shades of opinion and have
opportunity to make our individual opinions known through
a student publication.
If one wants reasonably unslanted news one might attempt
to conciliate the Chicago Tribune with Izvestia.

ROD PHILLIPS

On November II, Southern Rhodesia celebrated one year of illegal independence
--on November 11, 1965, U.D.I. was declared.
The failure to crush this racist-governed
state is disappointing to say the least,
and much of the blame can be placed on
the nations of Africa for their lack of
determination to achieve African unity.
This question of pan-Africanism is of great
importance, as only through unity can the
states of Africa hope to resist effectively
foreign imperialism and the advances of
Fascism within Africa.
But the problem of pan-Africanism is
a complex one, involving a conflict between an African consciousness and an
African loyalty on the one hand, and concern with, and loyalty for, one individual
African country on the other. In other words
there is a conflict between continentalism
and nationalism.
At present there are thirty-six states
in Africa, their boundaries fixed largely
as a result of the scramble for Africa
in the late nineteenth century. The continent will inevitably drift aprt unless steps
are taken to counter-act this type of organization, for while the development of
each nation means development for Africa
as a whole, each stage in the development
raises a barrier between states. Differences
become consolidated and a national pride,
inimical to an African pride, is developed.
Those who wish to keep Africa weak, wf.ll

(and do) ·exploit these weaknesses and try
to effect disunity, in the hope that panAfricanism will be abandoned.
But if Africa is to be independent of
foreign domination, it must be unified.
And whµe unification is far from impossible, unless measures are taken soon, it
will become all but a lost cause. President Julius Nyerere, of Tanzania, speaking
at the University of Zambia at LU$aka,
outlined the path to African unity thus:
•The first thing for Africa •.• is to determine
that it (unity) shall be done. Determination
that unity shall come must start with a
psychological acceptance of its requirements. But it is not enough for African
states to cooperate in dealing with particular problems. We mustdeliberatelymove
to unity. To the fullest extent possible we
must cooperate in our economic development, our trade, and our economic institutions. We must do this, despite our separate sovereignties although we have to
recognize that there is a limit to the
possibilities of economic integration without
political union. When that point comes, then
we shall either have to stand still--and
this damages our real hopes for Africa-or we shall have to take the plunge into
a merger of our international sovereignties.•
This plunge will have to be taken if
tragedies such as those in Southern Rhodesia and Ghana are to be prevented in
the future.

NATIONAL AFFAIRS

CANADIAN QlJANDRY

JACILBNOM
The present debate over a monarchy
versus a republic for Canada's future has
become a false issue. The factions resemble
a team of oxen when confronted by an obstruction; they decide on opposite directions
of bypassing the obstacle. The direction
becomes the issue in a tug-of-war and the
work load is forgotten.
At one extreme, there are those who
rationalize their advocation and loyalty to
the crown because it is a symbol and ancient
institution that must be retained. By this
sentimentality, the only other alternative,
that of becoming part of the U.S.A., is
undesirable. At the other extreme is the
continental faction, adherring to the theory
that it is in Canada's best interests to
abolish the monarchy and become a satellite or a constitutional part of the U.S.
These extreme points of view are irrelevant and are evading the more practical
and basic issue: Canadian independence.
While we have almost complete independence from Britain except for the acknowledgement of the crown to preserve our
constitutional parliamentary institutions we
are at the same time, an economic appendage
of our immediate neighbour.
To avoid new extremities, let us clarify
that while economic independence is desirable, it is impractical to assert that
we must do away with all foreign investment. It is a fact, however, that a nation•s
policies are based on its economy, and in
this light we must be cognizant of the fact
that American international firms are the
instruments of Washington's foreignpolicy.
The percentage of American ownership
in Canadian enterprise, manufacturing.

mining and oil, gas and petroleum products
far exceeds 50%. Under such conditions
ours is a self-imposed colonial status.
It would presently appear that our inability
(not disability) to develop our own national
resources, is a national resource for the
Am,3rican investors.
The argument that the profits a foreign
developer receives are only the prices we
pay to his experience does not condone our
dependence on him. It should be possible
to gain the capital and the advanced,i\merican technology by other tolerable means
rather than the unlimited direct investment
and the consequent ownership. My submission is three-fold:
1. The need and the subsequent endeavour to lessen American ownership is not anti-American.
2. The quest for Canadian economic
independence must not be the advocation of false pride. culminatingin malicious ultranationalism.
3. To reduce and limit foreign ownership is to gain economic independence. This is a necessity for greater
flixibility and impartiality of policies
in world affairs. No one can deny the
invaluable role which Canada has.
played as a mediator among hostile
countries. There is no roomforforeign intimidation in Canada's role in
international affairs.
The issue then should be predicated on
developing Canada., as an independent nation
able to determine its future through the
stability of a Canadianized economy. This is
the work load that the two factions are
forgetting.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Dear Mr. Marks:
I wish at this time to compliment you
and all other students connected with 1,our
new and very interesting publication The
Argus•.
I have read with interest in your October 28th edition a column written by
Don Colborne, in particular his reference
to the fact that students at the Lakehead
University do not have the privilege of
discounts in retail stores.
We at the Lakehead have been most
pleased and astonished by the rapid growth
of the university and we suddenly realize
that we are now part of a •university
City". Because this is a new situation
for the citizens and business concerns we
are naturally not aware of privileges connected with Universities in other centers

which I believe accounts for the fact that
students do not obtain a discount.
Now that this information has been brought
to my attention I would be most happy
to extend a 10% discount to all students
male and female, in view of the recent
opening of our men's furnishings department, on all purchases they make at any
time with the exception of items on sale.
Naturally all students requesting a discount must present a valid students' card
from the University. I am sure that the
necessary notification to all students will
be handled by your publication.
Yours truly,
COOPER'S

CAGERS LEAD LEAGUE
by Larry Hebert

The Lakehead U.Nor'Westers have now played each
team in the Senior Men's
basketball league once. This
puts L.U. in the first place
with a 3 - 1 record, having
defeated Dinty' s, Rembers
and Videon while going down
to defeat to Clarkes. The
team has not played up to
par so far but Coach Bristowe feels that this is only
because of lack of experience. One of the brighter points is the emergence
of rookie Don Hornstrom as
the team's scoring leader.

He is {lVeraging 20 points
per game. Another positive
factor is the hustling defensive play of George Kostyshyn and his excellent ball
handling.
Coach Bristowe has been
working hard to find the
right combination of starters. Practices have been
stepped up lately so that
the team will be in top shape
for its first intercollegiate
test of the season in Sudbury on the 25th and 26th
of this month.

And tremble at the thought that someday I,

This Property Is
Condemned
BY WILLIAM SHERIDAN

Alluring is the word for beautiful Natalie
Wood, whostarsasAlvainTHIS PROPERTY
IS CONDEMNED.
Alva ts not the first young girl, nor will
she be the last young girl to dream that love
is lovelier, somewhere else.
Alva was
growing up in the only way she knew how.
Alva wanted out in the worst way ... and she
got out in the worst way.
Kate Reid plays Mama Starr. who kept
Alva around to keep men around.
Charles Bronson is J .J .Nichols, Mama• s
favourite boarder ... he would sooner be
Alva's.
I would go on, but I think you get the idea.
This is one of those pictures that attempts
to show that the Depression was not really
so depressing.

We of the technocratic age
of affluence do not seem to
place stress upon •truth and
honesty• (a catch phrase),
that former societies have
seen.
Indeed, a morally
sound businessman, if he
survives the tooth-and-nail
conflict of •money-a-go-go
at all, is considered some..
thing of the fool for not
bending his moral fibre just
a bit and thereby shearing
much more of the financial
wool.
But why must the art world
suffer? Has the premise that
sex sells everything come to
dominate one• s taste in
literature as well as his
choice of cars, hair dressings, or the like? William
Goldman wrote a relatively
100d book, and called it
Your Turn to Curtsy, My
Turn to Bow". No •soldier
in the Rain•, or •Temple of
Gold•, but still a good book.
It tells the story of young
Peter Bell and his experiences as Junior counsellor at Blaclcpine Camp for
Boys. Goldman• s publishers
noticed Peter's three page
long association with Camp
Blackpine' s answer to Fanny
Hill, and dishonestly labelled
the book a •trank and tender
portrait of •.. initiation into
physical love.• •A starkly
revealing story of the yearning and pain of unmarried
love.•
These
moneymaking
words detract from Goldman• s effort to write a truly
•frank and tender• story, because they ignore all the
frank and tender characters
and scenes in the book except

one. Why even poor Chad
Kimberly,
who crucified
hirriself ( a tender undertaking) passed unnoticed.
Read •Your Turn to
Curtsy. My Turn to Bow"
but remember the old warning; don't judge a book by
its cover.

By A. C. Gordon
The "next war," some folks claim,
Will wage in outer space;
As for me, I can't think
Of any better place.

Yuan Sze-chung

Argus Interview

HONG KONG TODAY

by Jeanetly Gall

We spoke to Yuan SzeChung one of the foreign
students from Hong Kong
and the Secretary of the
Chinese Student Association
on campus.
We wondered whether our
intriguing weather conditions, and our snow had
drawn the students to our
campus. When he spoke of
Hong Konl(s 85 degree, airconditioner-requiring cliconditioner-requiring climate and of Canada's invigorating climate, I somehow suspected this was not
the easel
Educational opportunity,
perhaps? Mr. Yuan felt that
this might be one reason •
The greatest problem China
must face today i s overpopulation and therefore, in
Mr. Yuan's own words, the
problem of •too many students and too few vacancies
in the Universities.• He
noted that Hong Kong with
four million people has two
Universities.
In China, it is the scholastic ability rather than the
financial capability of the
student that decides who has
the right to further his or
her education. Chinese students must, after their high
school education, attend the
sixth form for two years,
write the required examinations and hope that they can
meet the academic qualifications of one of their universities. There is a slim
chance for students who must
work for one or two years
following their high school
education. They must study
either at home or in the
form for one year, and then
write the examination.
Mr. Yuan mentioned that
the Canadian immigration
office in Hong Kong has been
most helpful to Chinese stu-

dents in providing information on Canadian Universities.
We discussed the moral
consciousness of the Chinese
University student. Traditional views, Mr. Yuan suggested, form the basis of
their morality.
In regards to pre-marital
relations, he therefore felt
that ~e concept of marriage
is of great importance to
the Chinese girl. Westerners
inclusive of Canadians, seem
to be more frank, more open
along these lines.
Asked then whether religion was of prime importance in decisions and
discussions in China, Mr.
Yuan felt that religion was
of importance to the Chinese
but on an individual level.
Speaking on the lighter
side of social life •.•the great
question of liquor restrictions came up. Hong Kong,
has no restrictive liquor age.
In fact, it would not even
seem strange to see a child
of seven or eight purchasing
a bottle , of whiskey ... if he
could afford itl
Mr. Yuan felt that in Hong
Kong, there is less extensive
drinking because of this freedom. Perhaps Canada would
do well to investigate this
situation. He felt that while
for a time there would be an
increase, in time a decrease
would come.
In discussing the political
situation in China today, Mr.
Yuan preferred to speak generally. Canadians are misinformed about China today
and in his opinion, it would
be better for him in a future
edition of Argus to explain
this situation in his own
terms.
He did, however, comment
lightly on Hong Kong, saying
it was a British colony with

THURBER

CARNIVAi.

JAMES THURBER lets ua
believe ~at life is no mere
supermart or circumstance.
It is, rather, that the individual by his own initiative
prevents this tired old globe
from dyin~ of boredom. If
this is man s function, Thurber knows those who are totally unaware of it and those
who are obsessed by it. The
Thurber eye is quicker than
most, enabling him time and
again to catch society with
its pants down. But Thurber
leaves generalities to the
computers and looks at one
personality at a time. As a
result we meet a soul like
Walter Mitty to whom the
world has a population of
one.
As all Thurber characters
are, Mitty is a human specialization. It is of the detailed
incidents in the lives of ThUPber's people that 'A Thurber
Cal'J).ival' is composed. Patterned as a comedy revue,

revelations such as: The
Night the Bed Fell, The Unicorn in the Garden, The
Macbeth Murder Mystery,
and Mr. Preble Gets Rid of
His Wife.
In bringing his people to
the stage, Thurber promises
a carnival, indeed, a circus
of energy, colour, music, and
movement. Imagine the demands of timing and reflex
made on the performers of
a live television skit, who
function through incidents
derived from their own personalities. You will glimpse
what is required of a performer for 'A Thurber Carnival'.
We extend full invitation
to the students of Lakehead
University to our casting
sessions. Please see our add
in this edition for casting
dates.

THE PARKING LOT
A recurring beef among students is the student's parking
lot. We all know the dangers of this muck-hole in the spring
and fall. Not only is it in a constant state of submergence,
but it seems to attract the moisture from a mile around on
drv davs. Lakehead students make good ballet dancers as
they piro~tte from one dry spot to another, 10 feet away.
In winter, the moisture freezes into a substance called ice,
which makes the cars do the ballet. Swan Lake has nothing
on the perlormance of students' cars hitting sheet ice as
they turn into the parking lot, spinning around and around,
and making their finale by crashing into a snowbank in a
flurry of snow. Someinaybreakallrecords soon by ending
up on or in the McIntyre River. Students, a little green
around the gills from this space-age flying. are determined
not to be undone by their machines. They out-perform the
Red Army Dancers as they movewithfeetand arms flying,
to the cafeteria.
There is not much hope for improvement in the future
because the administration is constructing a new building
on the spot. These browned-off beefs are just for the
future. The new parking lot should be paved so that we
don't all ¥Ve to wear hip-waders or crampons to school.
Not that I m a snob, (foresters!) but they just aon't seem
to go with my new suit from Andrew Coffey's.
Some of the students brought me in a puzzle which I
hope one of the Math Department or someone might solve.
The other day car A moved into a position, two spaces
north and one space west of car B in the parking lot.
Upon returning. the driver of car A found the situation
something like this:
A few problems arose when the owner of car A wanted to
move his car. Using his total accumwation 6f deductive
and analytic reasoning. he could come up with no better
solutions than either physically moving them, running
around the buildings shouting licence numbers, (you know
how weird this would look), or depending on Divine Providence to step in and pluck his car from the midst of
this Chinese riddle. He decided on thefirst approach, and
all 100 pounds and five feet of him moved three cars. The
blue tone of the ice was matched by the tone of Don• s
(oops) blue words, as he made his way out of the car lot.
A word of wan1ing. this student carries plastic explosives
to clear his path in the future.
A combination of the climatic conditions and drivers like
Driver D make driving to school quite an adventure. L.U.
drivers are either the most patient, capable drivers or
else someone is pounding out a lot of dents on the sly. I
venture to that lot very infrequently, only on Friday nights
at the dances, when few cars are runningbecause something
else is.

Hustler's
Handbook·

The staff of the ARGUS has in the past
been admonished for printing nothing but
criticism. This survey was taken solely
among students on campus who have received their Ontario Student's Aid Program
loans, and from whom this writer could
gain material with which to write in favour
of P.O.S.A.P. The results are a switch
from the usual comment on Mr. Davis's
plan - while not wildly in favour of it, the
students interviewed seldom were so disgusted as to send their checks back in
frustration.
RICHARD THEDE - FORESTRY TECH . I

•My loan took about a month - maybe
a little more - to come in. I think that
it is a pretty good deal. From my own
point of view, the plan is a good one, but
maybe that is only because I got as much
as I did. The best thing so far as I can
see is the fact that they give you about
one-third of the loan, sort of like a bursary.
As for all the adverse opinions that seem
to be around, there must be something in
the application that the Government looks
at that makes them decide who to give the
money to and who to refuse. Like I said,
from my point of view, it's a good plan.
I've got no beefs against it.•
JORMA HALONEN - SCIENCE I

•My loan came through in about five
weeks. It wasn't as much as I had hoped
for, and so it won't be enough. I think that
the time that it takes to be processed in
Toronto is too long. The waiting period is
full of suspense and nail-biting. I also
feel that they cannot do a f;tir analysis
from what is included on those lists. To
get a really just indication of a student's
needs, you have to have some personal
contact with the individual concerned. Maybe if they sent out representatives to each
individual University or area they could get
better ideas of the needs of each applicant.
Also that question on parental ability to
support students at University is no good.
If further considerations . were taken, then
it would have some bearing but not in its
present isolated spot.•

•1 think that the plan could be better
organized. I had all my tuition and preliminary expenses paid before my loan
was received, after a month of waiting.
When it came I found that I had almost a
thousand dollars of spending and living
money, of which one third was free. The
reason for this I guess is that they never
asked about the other sources from which
I could get money to pay for tuition, books
and residence. It sure was good for me,
but I guess that I'm just one of the lucky
ones. I really feel sorry for those kids
who didn't get as much as they needed."
TERRY NOBLE - FORESTRY TECH. I

•r didn't apply through the University
to get my student loan, so it took three
months to come. The amount which they
allot you for the term before Christmas
is the smaller part of the entire loan and
as far as my own needs go this is not
enough - in fact I might not even make it
into the next month. Really, though, I
guess I've got nothing against it, But I
think that they should either give you the
money in one lump sum, or give you the
larger half in the first term. instead of
waiting for the second half, after you've
starved to death. I just know that what I
got for before Christmas should have been
for before December.

•it took my loan two months to reach me.

CALENDARS HERE

By now, most of the students hav'e received their
precious copies of the •Hustler's Handbook"', alias the
Contact. This little gem was
supplied to us courtesy of the
A.M.S. -- $614. to be exact.
Thanks are extended to
volunteer editor, Joe Danis,
who put forth a tremendous
effort to make it a success.
We would also like to thank
Lehto Printers, the girls in
the General Office, and all
students who helped assemble and distribute them.
You'll find this book extremely useful in both social
and academic emergencies
-- So use itl Get out there
and HUSTLE!

And what a letdown. It is definitely not
enough, so I must now find another source
of making money. I guess my assessment
was as fair as could be expected, though.
I know some others got a really rough
deal. Mind you I could have certainly used
a little more, but the state of things is not
so bad that I won't be able to get through
my year. I can get a loan from my father
if necessary, but then I will be right back
where I didn't want to be - in debt to my
parents.
I think that the government
should really look into this program. It
needs more time and attention on the part
of the department to be really successful.
It took too long. also. It seems to me that
the computation methods are based on

FORESTERS UNITE! JOIN L.U.FJ.
Believe i t or not, those
well groomed • gentlemen•
you see above are •uncouth•
forestry students. Contrary
to the belief that a certain
• stripper• would turn us into
a •reformed school choir•
we set aside a day .to attire
ourselves in the best manner
for our "mug" shots, nothing
criminal though.
In form the foresters are
finally doing something concrete. Under the directionof
the second year foresters a
sub-organization
of the
A.M.S. to be known as the
Lakehead University Forestry
Organization
was
formed.
L.U.F.A. was formed to
unite
all the forestry
students in order to •promote and maintain co-

operative relationships among various phases of the
government and forest industries." Membership is
available to all present students of the school of forestry and past graduates for
a nominal fee.
The association willprovide informative talks and
films for its members, features which will acquaint
them with all possible opportunities a vailabie in forestry.
At one of the meetings,
Mr. Dave Roden related his
experiences as a naturalist
in Quetico Park. A very experienced speaker, Dave
gave an enlightening talk;
his many slides added much
to his very interestingtopic.
A newsletter will be published at regular intervals to

keep L.U.F .A. members informed of the organization's
activities and of new technical advances in the forest
industry. The first of these
was published a few days
before the Conference on
Wood Measurement which
was held at Lakehead University from Nov. 7 to Nov.
10th. This first publication
introduced L.U.F .A. to the
individuals present and outlined its purposes and objectives.
•To scale or not to scale•
that was the question put to
the foresters at the Conference. Through theworkof
the L.U.F .A. executive, the
forestry
students
were
allowed to sit in on the lectures and attend a sit-down
dinner at which Doug Dubray,

Disparagers of the Bulletin Boards take heart! In
an interview with Claude
Smith, this reporter was told
that an extensive public address system for the University Centre is definitely
in the works. A comprehensive system is planned with
the speakers in the cafeteria, great hall, games
room, and senior longue.
Microphone jacks will be
installed in each of these
- locations except the senior
lounge. In conjunction with
the system there will be a
console housing, a tape desk,
record player, and probably
an AM-FM radio.
Thus, instead of garbled
conversation at lunchtime,

we can all listen to soft
background
music- (the
choice of which will undoubtedly be the source of much
discussion)-but most important will be the broadcasting
of news at the school, and
information concerning functions at the University, in
contrast to the present hitor-miss system utilized by
the bulletin boards.
The only drawback to this
whole story is that a completion date is uncertain,
Existing equipment, because
it was a gift to the University, should be integrated
if possible but the equipment would seem to be best
utilized elsewhere. The entire system should be com-

With the aim of pleasing all
its members, the Chemistry
Club has tried to provide a
varied and interesting agenda. During the first few
meetings, it was decided that
most activities would involve
lectures from University
personnel and other local
dignitaries, tours to industrial plants around the
Lakehead, films on assorted
scientific subjects, and any
experiments that students
might wish to conduct in the
laboratory.
So far we have had lectures
from Dr. Hawton, Dr. Orr,
and Mr. Blascke, chief
chemist of Doran' s from
Sudbury, a tour of (slurp!)
Doran's itself, and a showing
of two films. Students have
also been conducting experiments of a personal interest in the labs. There yet
remains in the planning one
more tour, to Mc Kellar Hospital. In the New Year, more
emphasls will be placed on
tours and lectures.
I repeat: any students who
are interested in any part
or parts of the proposed programme are welcome to attend. This invitation extends
to those in other faculties
as well as Science.

                    <text>HONORARIA RECOMMENDATIONS CRfflCIZED BY COUNCIL
Dave Sulphur, AMS Councillor reported the recommendations of his honoraria
committee to council at the
November
2~th regular
meeting.
Honararia are cash payments or privileges extended to those holding responsible and time-consuming
student offices. They can in
no way approach the value
of the work done but do
represent appreciation and
recognition as well as a return on personal expenses
incurred.
Discussion of the proposals was long and heated and
ended in a motion to table
for revision and explanation.
Basically, honoraria for
the more important positions
would be a cash payment
based on a percentage of
tuition. The purpose of the
approach was apparently to
establish the comparative
worth of these positions and
as a matter of convenience.
The recommendations were

these (cash value in brackets):
AMS Pres.
60% of tUition (276)
AMS Treas.
60% of tuition (276) .
AMS Vice.
50% of tuition (230)
AMS Sec.
40% of tuition (184)
Society Pres. 30% of tuition (138)
Yearbook Ed. 25% of tuition (115)
Argus Co-Ed. 15%each(l38)
Comment on this portion
of the proposals came in the
form of Mr. Sulphur's admission that the Yearbook
and Argus allotments were,
of necessity, particularly
low in relation to workloads;
Mr. Mitchell's assertion that
the president's salary would
be lowered from last year
and Mr. Lemmon' s observation that perhaps the vicepresidential responsibilities
did not warrant such a proportionately high honoraria.
Honoraria for lower pos-

itions was hotly debated. The
Committee
recommended
that each A.M.S. councillor
be granted free admission to
all
university functions
worth $1.00 or less and that
the Chief Justice, Thec.u.s.
chairman, the editor of Contact, and Ken Johnson, who
assists in advertising, be
refunded their A.M.S. fee of
$30.00.
Councillor Cordingly and
Committee chairman Sulphur had very divergent
views on this position. Mr.
Cordingly stated that •There
are a couple of people loosing out on this deal•, referring to the CUS chairman
and the Chief Justice. In his
own words Mr. Cordingly asserted that "'The C US chairman is getting it in the
left ear•. "'Getting what?•
querried Mr. Penner. No reply.
At the opposite extreme
Mr. Sulphur said, "'The C US
chairman doesn't do anything
as I see it. He hasn't done

anything for the University
as a whole" and"'The Chief
Justice just sits here at

suggested that Mr. Sulphur
rephrase his comments and
the Chief Justice, Peter Rusak, challenged Mr. Sulphur's

observations and accuse
him of being •obviously

Mr. Sulphur apologized an

Who's going to flunk out

where we stand this year.
Dr. Hart replied that "'The

5 to 10 students were flunked out last year and that, in

factor in the defeat was the

Nadonal Affairs

The culmination of student ignorance about the work
of the Chief Justice, Mr. Peter Rusak, appeared at
the November 28th Alma Mater Society meeting, when
Mr. Dave Sulphur stated that Mr. Rusak •just sits here
and reads constitutions."
We think this misguided opinion, one which is held
by the majority of students, must be altered
Until this year, the Judicial Committee was never
employed. The reason for the Committee's absence
on campus was not because of extreme student body
innocence, but rather one of chronic disorganization in
the Student Court scene. But under Rusak' s guidance
this term, the Committee has warned one student for
disorderly conduct at a Dinner Dance, and fined another
$100.00 in a fraud charge. What is perhaps extremely
important is that this latter student paid his fine.
The Student Proctor System is in its first year of
existence at Lakehead University. And again it has
been Mr. Rusak' s work which has made possible the
formation of this body. When the Proctors have beeen
present at student functions there has been only minor
infractions and no damage.
The only thing obviously lacking in the Proctor System
is a constable who is able to have jurisdiction over
offending students which are not from Lakehead University. But this problem is one which may be easily rectified and is not a serious structural fault in the existing system.
What all this brings us to, is the fact that Peter Rusak
has accomplished a great deal more than any other previous student Justice has. Both systems under his control
have worked quietly and efficiently.
It seems the rewards of quiet efficiency are a honorarium of $30 and the needless criticism of a supposedly
responsible counc~llor.

BLUE IS BLUE

A POST MORTEM
FRED KELLY

- OR IS IT ?

It has been proposed that the dark blue leather jackets,
which arrived on campus by accident and were adopted
by the Foresters, be re-ordered despite the fact that
they are not in the official Lakehead U. colours as
stipulated in this university's charter.
There is no good reason why leather University jackets
must be in a different colour from all other types. The
only reason put forward is that leather Jackets, which are
more likely to be sold to men in technology who might
wear them on field trips, should be in a darker colour
which will not show wear as badly as our official colour.
This argument is inadequate. Look at the colour of a
standard melton jacket. If this azure blue, our official
colour, is too light, someone is colour blind.
There will be very real problems created if the A.M.S.
authorizes two distinct Jacket colours. The question is
one of unity. We have a unique situation here at Lakehead in the high , degree of inter-faculty cooperation
and communication. This is no accident. It is due to our
small size and very conscious effort by the powers
that be.
It could reach the point where an Artsman who wants
a leather jacket will be forced to buy one which has become accepted as a •Forestry jacket•. Alternately, a
forester who can't afford a leather jacket might have
no choice but to purchase an • Arts and Science jacket•.
The A.M.S. will be doing a grave disservice to this
University's unity if it allows each faculty to have, in
effect, distinct and different jackets.

Voters in Australia andNewZealandhave
expressed their support for United States
policy in Vietnam.
In the General Elections held in each
country on November 25, the respective
governments were returned to power. These
were Keith Holyoake' s National (Conservative) Party in New Zealand, and Harold
Holt's Liberal Country Party in Australia.
In Australia the government increased
its majority in the Parliament by a considerable number. In New Zealand the National Party lost one seat in the House
of Representatives (from 45 to 44 in a
House of 80 seats), which went not to the
Labour opposition but to the right-wing
Social Credit Party--the first seat won by
a third party in New Zealand in 23 years.
The victories of the respective parties
can be interpreted as a victory for U.s.
Vietnam policy. The governments in both
countries supportthispolicy,Australiahavirrg ~sent ~,500 men (including conscripts)
and New, zealand: having committed a 150
man and 5 Howitzer artillery force to aid
the U.S. in its war against Vietnam.
From all accounts, the election campaign
in both countries centred around the Vietnam issue to the virtual exclusion of all
other issues. In New Zealand, the Labour
Party had promised the withdrawal of

N.E. troops from Vietnam and its replacement by humanitarian aid. In Australia,
the Labour Party had promised the withdrawal of all troops and its replacement
by technical personnel.
The repercussions of these election results, while not tremendous in import..
ance, will be significant not anly inside,
but outside their respective countries. In
the countries themselves, the prestige of
the governments will be boosted and they
will be able to act with more confidence
on
Vietnam. In the case of Australia,
the election figures will undoubtedly result
in the sending of yet more troops, ineluding more conscripts, to the Vietnam
war. In New Zealand, commentators predict
that more troops will be committed, but
as this will strain the country's military
resources, conscription will be introduced,
and conscripts may be sent to Vietnam.
This policy, against which the government
has given an assurance already, is unlikely to be popular with many people, and
the government may hesitate before takin(!
such a move.
The election results will also boost the
morale of the U.S. government to the extent that it is assured of continued military support from New Zealand and Australia.
Taking all considerations into account,
then, the election results are most regrettable .

The disillusionment of the Cana_dian people in the old political parties is evident
and will develop into interesting results.
The open tumult and battling within the
Progressive Conservative Party has somewhat subsided or at least is not so sensationally forefronted in the news as was
very recently the case. John Diefenbaker is
still moaning over the h,µmiliation to which
he was subjected in the recent convention.
But he is still biding his time as to his
retirement. It is clear that he must step
down. His refusal to be intimidated into
resignation or his determination to hold
the reigns through the Centennial year only
lessens the strength of his party and may
very well reduce it to a third party status.
In sad reality the Conservatives are
engaged in a battle of personalities rather
than in the formation of policies--i.e.
Camp vs Diefenbaker. Camp definitely scored a victory at the convention although he
asserted that he was ·not anti--Diefenbaker,
but rather pro-Conservative and thereby
guising his campaign for leadership reassessment as a step •to modernization
and democratization• of the party. The postconvention Declaration(signed by most Conservative M.P .' s) asking Diefenbaker to
retain leadership could not really salve
any part of the mortal wound. Any loyalty
to Diefenbaker is rooted in sentiment and
pity-he is an old warrior! But the real
split still exists which is that of the young
rebelling against the old generation.
By contrast the vote of confidence given
Lester Pearson at the October Liberal
Party convention was an exercise to tie
up loose ends in the party and display
unity. The only disunity came from Man-

power's Minister, Marchand, in his criticism and opposition to Mr. Sharp's postponement of medicare, but Pearson handled
the situation with a compromise. And while
Ex-FinBt-nce Minister Gordon was manoeuvered into completing his so-called political suicide over economic rationalism,
Mr. Sharp strategically set himseJf up
•succeed Pearson upon the latter's retirement.
The Liberals, ever cognizant of the spli
within the official opposition, capitalize~
on the opportunity to display harmony and
unity in closing. The deception is indeed
very shallow for the Liberals are not without problems. The rebellion of youth against
old generation rule is now universal.
In the final analysis the New Democratic
Party is the beneficiary of the present
state of affairs in conjunction with its hare
work. For the most pan the drift is nol
of Conservative votes becoming Liberal anc
the converse is untrue. The latest GalluI
poll verifies an ever-increasing supportfo1

"Resignttus" Hits Editors
Ottawa (CUP)--A disease
threatening to reach epidemic proportions is sweeping
Canadian university campuses this fall.
A rapidly-increasing number of campus newspaper
editors are being struck by
resignitus.
Although most editors resign voluntarily to qualifyfor
membership in The Club, as
the association of former
student newspaper editors is
called by the 'in, group,
some become members by
another route: councilus firitus.
Such was the case of Sandy Gage, former editor of
The McGill Daily.
Following printing of a
November 11 front-page story which alleged civil engineering professor Dr. Raymond Young was conducting
research • designed to aid the
American war effort in Vietnam•, McGill University's
students' council demanded
Ga1,e' s resignation.
I am not going to resign--you will have to fire
me,• Gage firmly replied.
Gage was fired.
The McGill Daily, however, lost more than an editor when Gage was dismissed
--52 staff members resigned
after their chief was removed from office.
Herein lies a difficulty
most campus editors face.
In allowing papers to become
student council bulletin boards, they avoid potential
coun~il-newspaper friction,
but are often blasted for becoming a council instrument.
If, conversely, when they
crusade for a campus cause
or attempt to implement a
hard-line editorial policy,
they are often accused of
promoting their own 'narrow' causes.
Are editors compensated
for all the headaches caused
by
staff disagreements,

CAMPUS SPENDING
L.U. students (degree) residing at home spend an average of $1080 per school year; whereas, those not
directly under the parental bondage pay for their freedom with another 600 greens. This liberty may be a
cause for temptation as the consumption of beveraged
spirits is heavier amongst non-residents. It is interesting
to note the propable creeping of guilt into the consciences
of those who received student loans. Their liquor allowance is much less than that of an average student.
Business men dip into father's pocket for a much
larger share than male members of other faculties.
In contrast other University Schools students claim to be
the most s;lf-supporting. If the figures are to be trusted the point to meditate is the close percentage proportions of total funds which males living away from and
at home receive from the government.
.
Now that Big-Time Spending is in season again, some
of the figures will go soaring up, thus leaving many to
recalculate their budget for the spring term• He who
has a costly Christmas may have a dry New Year.

Dennis Olinik and John Stefiszyn.

DON
HOLMSTROM •Homer• is by far the best
rookie on this year's basketball squad and has yet to
complete a game this season
in which he was not high
scorer. Don played five
years of high school basketball at Fort William Collegiate before enteriqg an Arts

Introducing

"Beemis Squash"
•Beemis squash• is an Ojibway idiom which may be
inadequately translated •out of proportion and disarranged.•, Because of the singularity of his name, the
government deemed a surname necessary, hence, Beemis
Squash, Treaty Number 009 of The Sabaskong Band.
Not only does Beemis typify a second class and sometimes parasitic citizenship, but in general he represents
the underdog of society. Because of his status, he is
in an envious and unique position for a social critic
for he has nothing to lose.
He has a family of 6.5, which is the average Canadian Indian family. The family will be introduced as
the occasion arises.
Beemis is a self-educated, philosophizing, critic of
society. He is a redman, in fact a well-read man and
his perpetual unemployment allows him much leisure
time. Politically, his is undecided.
Socially and economically his is an anachronism. He
dresses as in the early days of white settlement and
still lives in a teepee, but he possesses the modem
conveniences, color television, an auto, telephone, electricity, etc ....•..

The students muched
from city hall to the legislature where they chanted for
Mr. Davis--a very different

students gave him last month
while protesting the Ontario

but I am,• Mr. Davis said.

presents, but our Christmas
trees are artificial. On any
outing on Christmas day, the
weather is quite lovely but
you must be careful to watch
for snakes, for the forest
is still very wild. I don't
know too much about the
actual native Indians; they
live deeper inland andaren't
Christian, of course, so I
suppose they have something
entirely different.
Sze-Chung Yuan(HongKong):
Much of the Chinese population has been affected by the
British occupation of over
a century, so that it is almost natural that they have
adopted the pleasant holiday
of Christmas, even though
it has little religious meaning. Schools get out around

their gardens and bring them
into their homes at Chr1Bt-

mas to provide the traditional atmosphere for the
exchange of gifts.
However, if it's a real
Chinese
festival you' re
after, that wouldbetheChinese New Year -- the biggest
and most exciting of the
annual celebrations. Shops
close, factories shut down,
and everyone goes home for
several days to visit old
friends and relatives. The
New Year's Eve dinner is
spectacular and these days
is much varied, as the great
inflow of refugees to Hong
Kong has brought many different types of language,
customs, and cuisine to this
. city, depending on what part,
of the China mainland the
refugees
are originally
from. Most prevalent cuisines are the Cantonese and
Shanghai, with some from
Northern China. The New
Year will be near the first
of February in 1967 (based
on the Lunar Calendar) and
at that time we will say
farewell to the Year of the
Horse (1966) and welcome in
the Year of the Goat --19671.

HELP!
The ARGUS staff has run
into a serious problem. Some
of our members have all the
symptoms of the disorder
known as •December graduation•. As a result, there
will probably be several staff
positions available in the new
term. Those willing to commit themselves to the addicting atmosphere of Christmas
trees, love affairs, and various forms of intrigue receive the satisfaction of contributing to our publication.
Everyone is a potential journalist. So join the ARGUS .•.

�THE LOG OF YULE
It's a legend old that tells of the Log of Yule
As 'twas dragged from the forest, in days of old,
Wayfarers bowed; in reverence, hats were tipped.
Here was a log in whose flames old wrongs
Were consumed, forgiven, yea forgotten.
Old hopes were fulfilled, new friendships begotten
As man in humble endeavour sought to better
Relations with his fellow-humans so imperfect.
Ah, lights aglitter in gay decor
Once more the fruits of happiness we savour;
But man, the paradox of creation, gives
Joy and disillusionment, happiness and disappointment,
Attempts to whisper love, but howls hatred,
Advocates in his relationships a harmony sacred,
Strives to maintain a friendship
And in the struggle his intention fouls.
It was a person wise and experienced who counselled
•No human is worth it to upset you. Never give one the
triumph!"
The counsel's truth is almost inconceivable,
Disgust and rashness is almost feasible,
As deceptions and indiscretions abound
Joys and spirits are almost aground,
But hark, I hear the sled on fresh snow .... ,
'Tis the Log of Yule -- I raise my hat and bow.
--Fred Kelly

BROWNED OFF
Lakehead University students regard this column
with interest or disinterest,
depending upon whether their
personal beefs are voiced or
not.
They have come to
accept the Browned Off column as a forum for my own
personal peeves. I assure
them that this is true and I
also assure them that little
is holy, including them.
The clamour generated by
loud and happy mobs in the
cafeteria is enough to gladden the hearts of our overly
protective parents. Now. the
parents say junior is associating with all these intelligent people in UJ}iversity.
Now junior is learnin-g how
to get along with the better
rungs of society; he is getting an education by talking
to all these people from different lands and cultures;
he is broadening his sphere
so that he can be one of
the leaders of the community, and he is probably
discussing new and challenging theories to combat the
problems of the world.
Hal
On close examination of
the situation I find that the
parents have unknowingly
overestimated the poignancy
of junior's conversation. A
recent poll showed that out
of 5 tables (all male) in
the cafeteria, the subject of
such excited exclamation
was not intellectual or scientific, but rather 70% were
discussing the rate of rise of
a short skirt seated at a distant table, 28% were recounting every moment of the
euphoria achieved at the
Crest last night, and 2%
were staring into space and
probably contemplating suicide because they were not
interested in either. Just by
watching the sixth table, I
was able to predict the discourse. It probably went
something like this: • .... .
six spades ..... doubled ....... .
redoubled ......tripled .....•....
retripled ....... quartered•.....
etc.•
Anyone who does try to
stimulate any conversation
on above this mundane level
is branded as a nut. In an
attempt with one group to
promote the old habit of
actually saying something
when the mouth is opened,
we covered a full spectrum
of topics from religion to
water pollution in 5 minutes
and 3 hours uninformedly
discussing sex and its
perversions. Interesting as
it was, I could not help
but feel that sex had become
an act necessary only for

future expositions to be related to others, not the dilemma or farce it was supposed to be. One chap told
the group that he was a
virgin, and everyone slowly
ostracized him o one end
of the table. He had broken
a major unwritten law, in
that even if one has never
had sex,
one is never
expected to admit it, and
must fake it. Honesty isn't
always the best policy at all
times in the cafeteria.
The
average
student
doesn't mix with any rungs
of the social ladder except
his own. Students from the
Lakehead sit with all the kids
they knew in PACI or Selkirk, and few mix. Students
from •out of town• mix with
other from •out of town•.
One firend from Toronto was
very happy at the end of
October, and
I asked
him why. He said the reason
for the state of well-being is
that he met another student
who actually lived in the
Lakehead. There is little
mixing with those students
from Hong KongorTrinidad,
and even so it is usually in
some official capacity and
not one of cultural exchange.
If junior expects to be one
of the leaders of the community, he had better apply
at another institution. It is
virtually impossible to get
much organized because of
the apathy of our esteemed
student body. Check the figures on the A.M.S. council
voting. There are about ten
people here who try to organize meetings, groups, or

-~L~

clubs to further interest in
areas that are supposed to be
the domain of the undergraduates of universities. The
programs, more times than
not, are flops, and the organizers are passed off as pushy
types. The ten are usually
involved in everything in the
whole place anyway. Check
most of the clubs on campus
and you'll find a duplicity
of membership.
Little or no theory comes
from the lecture rooms into
the cafeteria. Post-lecture
analysis indudes a description of Dr. X, (fat and fifty),
or Dr. Y, (smokes and shouts
a lot), as well as any current
off-cour remarks made be
either. When questioned on
the actual subject itself, an
ambiguous mumbling (....
some Greek wrote this play
about some guy in love with
his mother ...or was it his
father?) meanders down a
list of names and dates. Any
relation of theory presented
in the lecture rooms and the
daily routine of our E&amp; Verage
student is purely accidental
and, upon correction, is
readily mended.
I don't see much change
of this pattern in the future.
It was the same last year.
Maybe it is an indication of
a new rebellion against the
old concepts. The adult society expects a lot from us,
especially those of us in
university. Open your mouth

CIIRWDIAS STORY
Reprinted from THE MUSE, Memorial University, St.
John's, Newfoundland.
He stood, absurd in his nakedness,
Among the gaunt trees
And touched the breast of his daughter.
She bowed her silent, lovely head
And when darkness came it was over.
Words of light shafted through the blackness
And her exaltation was complete.
They walked to her bed in the cold night. -He walked back to the dark wood
And in the black night he built a great fire
And burned himself in it.
From the valley around they came
And stared at the bright flame
Wondering, afraid.
In the cold. cold first month of winter
She bore him a son.

LAKEHEAD UNIVERSITY,

PSYffi.
Less than a year after the
infamous MacDonald fraud
put Lakehead U. on the map,
Mr. J. MacDonald, successor to the Chairmanship of
the Psychology Department,
has resigned. His letter of
resignation was received by
the Dean of Arts on Friday
January 6, the same day
that Mr. MacDonald announced bis resignation to a class
of bis students.
In an exclusive interview
with the ARGUS Mr. MacDonald declined to state in
precise terms the reasons
for bis resignation. He said
only that •It was imJ&gt;&lt;&gt;ssible
for me to continue , but he
made clear that his action
was prompted by tensionbetween himself and the administration.
In a separate interview, Dr.
Rothney, Dean of Arts, said
that be had not been entirely surprised by the resignation. When asked whether pressure bad been ap..
plied to force the resignation Dr. Rothney said only
'Not by me'. Mr. MacDonald

'I'HE CUS MOUSE
Quiet memorandums suggesting radical change are ludicrous. A timid CUS mouse requesting reactionary jackasses like your average AMS, SAC, et al to fight for progressive change invites disaster.
If CUS wants militancy it had better start screaming.
Rallys, protests, marches, riots. terrorism, guerrila
warfare, anything. It must have the majority of students
actively behind it if it is to succeed.

Then there's solidarity. If CUS has a policy which students genuinely want, or should genuinely want, they must
know what it is. The key here is education. The average
Canadian student doesn't know what CUS is and CUS must
reach him • Not by bland little write-ups in campus papers, but by participation in something concrete, whether
it be sit-in, seminar, or seance.

Viet Peace Hopes

The most immediate threat to worldpeace
at the beginning of 1967 is undoubtedly the .
war in Vietnam.
Recently there have been major develoPments in all aspects of this tragic conflict.
On the military front: The number of U.S.
troops in Vietnam has surpassed the total
in Korea at the height of the war in that country. Allied troop strength has also increased
greatly, instances being thesendingof 1,000
Thai troops to Vietnam, and the transfer of
New Zealand troops from the Malaysian to •
Vietnamese war theatres. U.S. bombing of
north Vietnam has been intensified, and the
Pentagon has finally admitted that targets
other than •military objectives• may have
been hit--but this admission came only after
on-the-spot
reports
from Harrison
Salisbury, associate editor of the NewYork
Times.
Developments on what might be called the
'peace front' are more complex. There have
been the usual U.S. offers to negotiate if the
National Liberation Front and north Vietnamese· will agree to surrender. These offers
have met with theexpectedrebuffs,although
at the time of this writing it seems that the
Hanoi government may be willing to relax its
conditions for negotiations if the U.S. bombing of north Vietnam is halted. It is difficult
to see to what this suggestion may lead.
At this point it may be useful to examine

States thinks of it as the cat's paw' and it

The Pope has also offered to help in any
attempt to bring the war to a conclusJ,on but
thus far his attempts--such as his expressed
desire that the Christmas and New Year
cease-fires be extended into a general
truce--have had little visible effect.
The third main group which has proposed
solutions for the war is individual nations
and groups of nations--such as India, Great
Britain, Yugoslavia, Canada, and a number
of 'non-aligned' countries. However, it
seems that which ever country proposes a
solution is unacceptable to either north
Vietnam and the National Liberation Front
or to the U.S. and its allies.
It appears then that the only successful
moves towards peace will have to be made
by those nations actually involved in the conflict and on can only hope that one side will

Dear Sir:
The obligations of a newspaper editor are many and
varied: his paper should be
of interest to the public it
wishes to reach; it should be
topical, controversial and
stimulating. But controversy
and stimulus should remain
within the boundaries of good
taste. And, in my opinion,
any material which specifically intends to offend is in
bad taste.

This editor (Literary) could
not hope to put in better words
the basic ideas presented in
paragraph one of the above letter. They have long been pursued by responsible newspaper editors everywhere.
· However, we at the Argus
have always tried to keep this
policy in mind. The poem in
question was not reprinted with
the specific intent of offending
the reading public. Rather, this
journal carried this item in the
function of a democratic medium
for individual expression of all
opinion and belief. The poem
was not written for shockvalue alone'. Blanche Hodder,
an atheist and excellent writer,
has merely stated her views.
Since the immediate reading
public that this newspaper wishes- to reach comprises the students and faculty of this University, such articles are
interesting, perhaps educational, certainly controversial. This
week the Argus literary page
has followed through with another article by Miss Hodder,
which should be of special
interest. Although her presentation is 'the problem of morality
and the atheist', it is understood that the Argus neither supports nor persecutes atheism.

�Kieker - Spinks Report

MARKS ON EXPO

~'ft'~
~ WIPE OUT A·T THE PLACE
,,.Jk~

U. Presidents
BLAST PLAN

The Spinks report, a
surprisingly explosive document, has been shat upon by
every Ontario University
president.
It's authors
started out quietly in 1965
to examine postgraduate
programmes andfacilities in
the fourteen Ontario universities. With five new and
three re-organized universities all clamouring for a
share of financial grants and
with the older institutions
insisting that scarce resources be restricted to
graduate schools at the larger universities, the government decided to invite three
out-of-province referees to
arbitrate.
The three-man commission led by J. W. T. Spinks,
president of the University
of Saskatchewan, gave them
more than they bargained
for. It proceeded to examine
the
entire problem of
co-operation and communications between Ontario
universities.
•The most strikingcharacteristic of higher-not only
graduate-education in Ontario is the complete absence
of a master plan, of an educational policy, and of a
co-ordinating authority for
the provincially supported
institutions.•
•we found widespread
lip-service to the need for
province-wide consultation,
but only a few examples of
effective action.•
Thus Mr. Spinks and his
associates challenged the
entire structure of interuniversity affairs.
The
present method
through which universities
obtain government grants involves applying (separately
and in secret) to the Committee on University Affairs, an
advisory board which recommends to the government
what allocations to make.
The commission described this committee as
•quite unsuited" to the task
at hand. The universities
•compete with eachotherfor
their share of the annual
appropriations, and the di...
rection and rate of their
development is determined
not by rational and unified
planning but by their individual ingenuity in securing
funds.•
Besides the criticism,
the report made very specific recommendations. It
called for three major
changes:
The creation of an Ontario Universities Research
Council to administer funds
f9r graduate fellowships and
research facilities.

The establishment of an
Ontario Universities Library System centred atU.ofT.
with branches at the research libraries of other
universities so that all re- .
sources would be pooled and
available to graduate students throughout the province.
The incorporation of a
provincial University of Ontario which would be a
federation of existing statesupported universities and
with headquarters at U. of T. •
As already stated, the
reaction of the universities
has been hostile. The university presidents, who had
the report for more than two
months before its release,
made sure that a garbled
version was planted with the
Toronto press, whereupon
most of them denounced it
thoroughly.
When the full report was
published, Minister of Education Davis and Dr. J.A.
Corry, principal of Queens
University, the chairman of
the committee of university
presidents, dismissed its
recommendations as being
cumbrous ~nd complicated
solutions and involved more
change than was necessary
to solve the problems etc.
Thus the issue is deadfor
all intents and purposes. Its
recommendations will undoubtedly be passed on to yet
another royal commission
whose findings will be similarly buried.
Yet it seems clear that
the Spinks report has at least
had a purgative effect and
forced the universities to
produce some alternate solutions on their own. Mr.
Corry has cited the formation of a council through
which the universities will
co-operate in the planning
of an orderly pattern of graduate education and research
and a comparable council of
university librarians. Coordination will be achieved,
according to Mr. Corry, by
strengthening the existing
Committee on UniversityAffairs.
On the thorny problem of
competition rather ~n cooperation in requests for
government grants Messrs.
Davis and Corry have announced that ' the Committee
on University Affairs will be
strengthened.
The fact that the government has never turned down
an approved requisition for
funds was likely a major
factor in the university s
decision to reJectthe report.

good kick by knocking some

officials read this column
and shape up.
The other week as I was
existing around Montreal I
found myself at the Place Des
Arts along with most of the
English speaking University
newspaper editors of Canada, at an official Expo press
conference.
In the other
corner of the auditorium
were most of the French

student papers.
The scene could have only
been created by somesadistic, race bigot (at least that's
the thought I had as I left
the building later shaking).
The two armed camps
were introduced for thefirst
time to each other as the
press conference opened.
All waa O.K. as a word had

would have been great if
they would have packed it up
there, when everyone was
congratulating himself for
not being a racial bigot.

During the Christmas
holidays a Boys' Model Parliament was held in Winnipeg,
Manitoba.
The Lakehead
sent six representatives, two
of them attending Lakehead
University. Bryan Springgay, Arts II, attending the
parliament for his third year
held a ministerial post in
foreign affairs while Jim
• Purdon, Science I, attending
for the first time, sat as a
, back-bencher.
The debate in Boy's Parl..
iament evolved around four
bills presented by the Minister of ForeignAffairs,Canadian Affairs, Religious
Affairs, and the Secretary
of State. Manyoftheclauses
in these bills were of interest to all Canadians and
particularly to students in
the
secondary- university
age bracket.
In the Bill in the Interest of State, one important
clause was passed. .This
provided that the federal
government pay tuition and
living expenses of all university students as long as
they meet certain require..
ments. A clause statingthat
all federal and provincial
legislators be required to
have university degrees was
deleted after heated debate.
Certain clauses in the
Resolution in the Interest of
Religious Affairs received
fiery and emotional debate.
An attempt by the minister
to make all future clergymen in the Church celibate
was defeated by a vote of
89-9. Clauses stating that
the church should institute
two-year trial marriages
and condone voluntary euthanasia were passed.
In Canadian Affairs many
controversial issues were

Foreign Affairs, the

of the conservative parlia..

Special to Canadian Universities Press
By HOWARD MOFFETT

EDITOR'S NOTE: Canaidian University Press has contracted to receive the weekly
reports of Howard Moffett, a
full-time
corresspondent in,
South Vietnam for Collegiate
Press Service . '
Moffett's reports will be
released by CUP throughout
the course of the publishing
year.
CPS is an agency of the
United States Student Press
Association, with which CUP
maintains a regular news exchange.
An American citizen, Moffett has lived in China, Japan,
and Korea, where his father is
superintendant of a Presbyterian hospital. He was 1956-66
editor ,of the Yale Daily News.
This is the first of a series of introductory articles
written by Moffett in Saigon.
He describes the social context in which the war in Vietnam, is being fought.

Part I

SAIGON (C PS)--Last year
at this time I was writing
editorials calling the American war in Vietnam unjust,.
illegal and anti-democratic.
I could still make a case
for the last two (it has occurred to me since that a
just war is a contradiction
in terms). But after a month
in Vietnam, I am clear on
one thing: nothing here is
that simple, nothing is that
black-and-white.
Those who talk about Vietnam in these terms, and on
the other hand those who
mouth cliches about defending democracy andfreedom against Communist aggression, have reduced one
of the most complicated and
agonizing situations in modern history to shibboleths.
Worse, they have succeeded
in making these shibboleths
Vinually the only terms of
the public debate on Vietnam.
The following analysis is
quasi-sociological. It may
strike some as an intellectual game; I see it rather
as an attempt to step back
a bit and establish a frame
of reference against which
further analysis and interpretation may be measured.
It may also suggest some of
the hazards involved in basing value judgments · either
on deadline press reports or
on personal political preferences.
It is based on three assumptions: (1) What is happening here is as important
as what should be happening
here; (2) What is happening
may in the course of time
affect what should happen,
i.e., the use of power and
the objective conditions to
!Which it gives rise may either undermine or create
a moral prerogative: morality, like power, is not static, and must sometimes be
measured in relative terms;
(3) Neither what is happen;lng here, nor what should be
!happening here, are very
adequately understood by
most Americans.

• • •
There is a struggle going
on in South Vietnam between
two groups of people, each
()f them numbering several
:millions: in effect they are
~o s~parate societies, co-

existing within the same geo-graphical boundaries. Each
is trying to organize, strengthen and sanction itself while
weakening or destroying the
other.
Though each group numbers millions, they are both
led by relatively small
lites which have developed
their own traditions, their
own social values, and their
own vested interests. The
majority in each group are
people who, through varying
degrees of sophistication,
are influenced by the traditions and values of their
elite but have little stake
in its vested interests.
They are people like civil servants, interested in
salaries and a modicum of
culture, personal freedom
~nd opportunity for advancement; or merchants, interested in the free flow of
trade and economic stability; or soldiers, interested
in winning without getting
killed, recognition for bravery and home leave; or farmers, interested in the weather, the market for pigs,
owning their 9wn land and being left alone. These people
have been at war for over
20 years, almost all of them
are interested in staying alive.
This is •not to say that
the majority in each group
do not particiv..9:te in the culture of their elites--they do,.
and often by choice. But it
seems likely that in a showdown many in either group
would be willing to dissociate themselves from their
own elite and exchange its
culture for that of the other,
so long as their own popular and private interests were not seriously
threatened.
In other words, the ideological and material interests of the two elites are
not quite so important to
their respective sub-groups, •
except where expen and intense p:i;:opaganda has taken
effect over long periods of
time (as it has in some
areas on both sides). This

Both the physical war and
the psychological war are
being fought here at several different levels. There is
a struggle to build and destroy infrastructures in each
of some 16,000 hamlets.
There are squadandplatoonsized engagements between
local guerillas and government militia, called Popular Forces. There are terrori§t bombings at luxury hotels and in peasant
markets.
The Viet Cong are trying
to build up troop concentrations while avoiding pitched
battles in the rich Mekong
Delta;- government leaders,
largely through the intermediate agency of U.S.
Special Forces, are trying
to win the loyalty of the
Central
Highland Montagnards, who are generally
looked down upon by all Vietnamese, Communist and
non-communist.
South of the Demilitarized
Zone, full-fledged conventional battles rage between
battalions (roughly 1,000
men each) of American Ma.rines and North Vie·mamese
regulars. 'Pacification' cadres from one side or the
other are at work in every
one of South Viet Nam• s
42 provinces.
The struggle has now spilled well beyond the borders
of South Viet Nam and has
become in effect a regional
war. Anti-government activity is reported increasing
in Laos, northeastern Thailand, and even Burma, while
the Hanoi government claims
North Viet Nam is about to
be invaded.
Finally, the international
political implications for the
rest of Southeast Asia--from
Indonesia to East Pakistan-are enormous. And however
Americans want to slice it,
Southeast Asians are the two
major protagonists--competing for power, influence
and the vindication of ideology--as the United States
and China.
This, then is your simple
war.
It is true that American
1 warplanes are bombing and
. burning and killing civilians,
more than you will ever
read about in the papers.
It is also true that the Viet
, Cong disembowel good province chiefs, or bad ones,
and they do run prison camps

two state111,ents prove is that
war is hell, and modern guerilla war is worse than any
other kind.

of the word. It is not just

innocent, peace-lovingvilla' gers. Nor is it a particularly democratic defense of
freedom against terror and
tyranny from without. It is
a total war.

Paperllaek Review

''What Can You Do''
From the obscure pen of James Leigh comes fresh
proof that any young man, given emotional balance,
a superior intellect, and ingenuity of approach, can
reap year-round harvests if he cultivates the proper
fields and .sows his seeds with discretion.
But What Can You Do is not a guide-book for every
Tom, Dick and Harry with an erection and no place to
go. Rather, it is a philosophical dissertation by a stableminded eighteel)-year-old who uses psychology to advantage in resolving any and all situations.
Psychology is the key. Phil Fuller (the stable-minded
eighteen-year-old) uses his tender psychology to unlock
sexual doors that no amount of mental battering would
- destroy. Consider his relationship with Debbie Wilson,
whose mother had invented 'ninety-eight ways to keep
{Debbie's) pants on and still have the boys howling under
{Debbie's) window/ Many young men had tried to navigate (Debbie's) passages, only to suffer shipwreck at
Journey's beginnings by one or more of ninety-eight
ways. Phil realizes ~t overcoming Debbie's conditioned
misgivings would mean clear sailing to the harbour that
he consciously and she subconsciously wants to reach,
so he auto-suggestively creates an image of 'This is
Bigger than Both of Us' that eventually results in Debbie's
undoing (her straps) and Phil's doing ( ). Philosophy:
Tell them what they want to hear and you've got it made.
And then there's Mallory, Phil's English professor, the
husband of a granite-visaged woman. Phil gives the professor some extra-curricular entertainment (pleasantfaced Antonia) and a sense of achievement (I'm teaching
a genius!) Philosophy: Give and get.
The book itself is no major stylistic accomplishment,
nor does it contain any literary value as such. But for
philosophical and psychological techniques, and more
than a few laughs, give me James Leigh. On second thought,
give me Debbie Wilson!

In writing an article one could
always follow the worthy example of one of today's most
popular moralists, Norman Vin~cent Peale, and write pages and

fine day for Jewry's triumph

One of Britain's most colourful empire. builders was
General Charles Gordon. He brought order and the Union
Jack to such far away places as China and Africa. The
Sudan was his favourite outpost, and Khartoum 1t• s chief
city, held his most cherished memories. But by 1884,
having been away on diplomatic service elsewhere for
five years, he had no real plans for returning.
At that time however, a Moslem •prophet' rose up
to challenge the British in North Africa. Prime Minister
Gladstone preferred to let Africa go, but the public demanded action, so Gordon was sent as a gesture, with
the hope that his personality might help restore peace.
Alas, not so, for Gordon found his opponent as dedicated
as himself; and so he laid his life and honour on the line
in one final bid to avert disaster.
These are the events in which KHARTOUM is set.
Julian Blaustein bas assembled a marvellous cast to tell
the tale. Charlton Heston gives the most refined perfor- .
mance of his life, in a surprising portrait of dignity and
control, as Gordon. Sir Laurence Olivier is equally
magnificent as the Mahdi, the fanatic who is completely
convinced of his cause and victory. The best job however, is done by Sir Ralph Richardson, who lends just
the right touch of unscrupulousness, cunning and hypocritical piety to his character of Gladstone.

�The l'.ulblral Revolution And The Red Guard
by Sze-Chung Yuan
Editor's Note: Mr. Yuan has
lived in or near China almost
all his life. He attended public school in mainland China
during the Nationalist Government regime under Chiang Kai
Shek. After .the Communist
take-over, Mr. •Yuan moved to
Hong Kong· in 1949 where he
attended high school. After a
year at the University of Taiwan, he worked in Hong Kong
writing for many of the Chinese newspapers there. He has
read much of Mao Tse-Tung's
writings and is well-acquainted with the problems of the
modem and changing Chinese
People's Republic.

lution.
conditions.

From the very beginning
Mao did not let himself become involved and remained
throughout the stormy scenes a figure in the shadows until his reappearance
in Peking in the fall of 1966.
As soon as the first round
was concluded, the Mao-Lin
team lost no time in getting ready for the second.
They employed one of the
traditional
communist
implements--the mob. Thus
students, workers and soldiers were organized as the
Red Guard in order to stir
up the public and get rid
of their opponents. But they
did not realize that the same
technique was employed by

the other camp until the
Red Guards were out of control of either party.
The term •Red Guard' was
derived originally from a
picture taken many years
ago, in which Mao was in
uniform wearing an armband with three Chinese
characters showing Hung
Wei Ping (Red Guard).
Under the present circumstances, it is difficult to
predict which side will survive. But so far this much
is clear: Neither side can
win with a hand of limited
trumps. Each awaits the other to make the wrong move.

'BOTTLENECK THREATENS
STUDENT MOVEMENT'---WARD
OTTAWA (CUP) -- The
chief architect of Canada's
student movement has condemned student councils for
abdicating their responsibilities.
Canadian UnionofStudents
president Doug Ward suggested Friday (Jan. 6) in an
interview he is getting fed
up with student governments
which give a higher priority
to yearbooks and dances than
to social change.
•If I were the student press
or a candidate in the UPcomin2 council elections, I
wouldn't tolerate the neanderthal
priorities· of the
average student council• the
28-year-old CUS president
said.
•student councils are acting as if the issues of most
vital importance to students
were
yearbooks, dances,
model parliaments and the
budget of the outing club.•
The CUS chief accused
elected councils of •blissfully ignoring the fact that
students are being cut off
for · lack of adequate preventative mental healthfacilities and for lack of decent
aid programs.•
Charging that potential
university students are being funnelled out of further
academic study by a society
that •doesn't really believe
in accessibility on the basis
of merit,• Ward blamed student government for failing
to take hold of the issues
and become relevent to their
electorate.
•The funny thing is that
when student councillors go
off to the faraway CUS congresses, they do talk about
the contemporary problems
of society, and they pass
resolutions on them.

mentation programs without
achieving anything.
Right now, Ward says he
is forced to rely on upcoming
election campaigns to recoup
losses incurred during this
year's post-congress lag.
•underneath it all, local
campuses are going to have
to resolve this tension between the way they talk to
the outside and what actually goes onontheircampus,
if student government is
going to have any relevance
at all, the upcoming elections
are going to be fought on the
issue.•

fall.
• He said he hopes this difficulty will be licked during
the current term, when all
eight C US secretariat members take to the road for
field work assignments.
Plans are already being
made
to provide field
workers training for ne~t
year's C US staff.
Another aspect of the current CUS hangups beyond
Ward's control can't be
licked by program outlines,
newsletters and other C US
publications.
It's the CUS chairman's
'bottleneck' which occurs
when local CUS chairmen
fail to pass such material
along to student government
and the student electorate.
Ward suggested the CUS
secretariat can work indefiriately formulating imple-

ART SHOW. PEAK INCORPORATES
From January 17 to February 16 there will be an
exhibition in the senior lounge of paintings by the German
anist Kathe Kollwitz.
The exhibition, from the
Winnipeg Gallery, consists
of 20 original etchings and
lithographs, and illustrates
the artist's concern with people and truth. She expresses
tremendous sympathy with
the poor and the suffering.

and thus the drawings are
sensitive and moving.
No student serious in his
interest in the arts should
miss this exhibition.

BURNABY
(CUP)--The
Peak, student newspaper at
Simon Fraser University,
became the first Canadian
campus newspaper to receive legal recognition when
it was incorporated recently
as a society.
The new society must publish annually, and submit
complete financial records,
and a comprehensive report
al society affairs io tbe

gistrar of societies.
The Peak can also be sued
under the Societies Act of
British Columbia.

Bob Campbell, the local
Canadian Union of Students
chairman has submitted his
resignation to the A.M.S.
He explained in a letter
read at the last regular
meeting that acadmeic pressure had forced him to make
the decision and expressed
his regrets to council.
The A.M.S. executive, in
consultation with Mr. Campbell will appoint a successor
as Chairman of the local
CUS committee. Campbell
will be suggesting Gwen S
and Barb Coghlan who have
volunteered to take over the
position jointly.
Mr. Campbell has had no
word as to how the honoraria which accompanies the
position will be divided between himself and his successor.
In an interview with the
ARGUS Mr. Campbell outlined the responsibilities of
the position for the information of other students who
might be interestedinapplying for the job. He pointed
out that CUS was a new
thing at Lakehead as this
university joined only in 1966
and that in his months as

He further stated that· in
its first year CUS has been
fairly successful in terms
of increased student awareness of just what the organization is and what it is doing
for the Canadian student.
He feels that the provincial
and national offices have
been very interested and satisfied with the pregress
here.
On the question of the union's troubles on the national level Mr. Campbell believes personally that the
organization should have
stayed out of politics and
disagrees, at least in part,
with many of the stands which
his headquarters has taken.
W1th reference to the upcoming
Ontario regional
conference to be held here
Bob said only that he had
offered to help.

MODEL PARLIAMENT

This year the political clubs on campus are cooperating in holding the first Model Parliament on the
Lakehead campus. In order to achieve success these
groups are now opening ~ publicity c~paign. t.o ac(luam~

L.U. NOW IN SECOND PLACEBY PETER YOUNG
The Lakehead University Nor'Westers
were dropped into second place in the
International Collegiate Hockey Association
last weekend as first place Bemidji State
Beavers handed them 5-3 and 6-5 defeats.
Nor'Wester coach Henry Ackervall still
feels the L.U. team is superior to the
Arthur will have an effect on the outcome of the return matches in the Lakehead. At Bemidji the ice surface is outside and visiting teams find it ,h ard to
adjust to the wind, sun, snow and temperature conditions.
In the first encounter the Nor'Westers
were outshot 34-27 and took four of the
five penalties. The score was tied 2-2
after one period and the Beavers held a 3-2
edge after two. Dennis Olinik, Dwight Surrett, and Murray Smith were the Lakehead marksmen. Olinik scored on a pass
from John Stefiszyn, Surrett connected from

portant of these has been that
of coordinating the student
discount campaign which has
been partially successful to
this time. The new chairman will have to actively
publicize
this campaign
among both the students and
local merchants. Mr.CamPbell had also been working
on a program of high schbol
visitations where students
and faculty would visit secondary schools carrying the
good word about university
life. He had also been promoting plans for student exchanges whereby students
enrolled here would take a
year at another university
which would in turn send one
of its students to Lakehead.
The CUS nationalprogramof
student travel is also coordinated by the campus office.

Smith and Dave Siciliano and Smith rounded
out scoring from Lorne Gander.
Nor'Westers held a 4-1 edge going into
the final period in game number two but
the Beavers 'p umped home five third period
goals.
Murray Smith notched the first two L.U.
goals, the first unassisted and the second
on a pass by Aggie Siciliano. Siciliano
scored the third goal with Clare Battiston and Stirrett drawing assists. Stirrett
completed scoring with the final two markers. Stirrett' s linemates Smith and Siciliano collected assists on the first, with
Siciliano and Battiston aiding the second.
The Nor'Westers travel to St. Cloud
this weekend in hopes of breaking the second place tie with Wisconsin. Wisconsin
moved into the tie with two victories
last weekend over St. Cloud.

Tbe Model ParHament will be held on February- 17,

18, and 19. The week following the Winter Carnival
has been set aside for campaigning and all indications
predict that the campaign will be one of intense activity
with no political punches held. The elections will take
place on February 3. The two major political clubs on
campus, the University Liberals and the N.D. Y. have
been assured of A.M.S. sponsorship and support for the
Model Parliament. It is therefore hoped that the student
body will actively support the Parliament by attending
the political speeches and debates during the campaign
week; and, of utmost importance--casting a ballot on
the election data.
Both the Liberals and N.D.Y. express the wish that
the Conservative students on campus will accept the
challenge and present a number of candidates to stand
in the election. At the same time, those students interested in seating as a Liberal or N.D.P. member in the
Parliament are encouraged to contact:
Liberal-Bryan Springgay 622-2673 (or Argus office)
N.D. Y.-Don Colborne
Argus office
The political parties request full student participation
to make Lakehea.d' s first Model Parliament a success
and provide a basis for future parliaments on campus.
The political groups can set up and hold the Parliament;
its first success is in the hands of the university students.

SPRING SPORTS SCHEDULE
The athletic department has released the
schedule for both intercollegiate and intramural events for the spring term.
This weekend the hockey team is in St.
Cloud for two games against the Huskies.
Meanwhile the University is hosting an
invitational ski meet at Loch Lomond.

tho§e polled complained tpat the ll!ternational affairs column is too biast (sic),
or 'NDP orientated'. I feel that it is necessary to make perlectly clear my position.
A university newspaper, published weeldy or bi-weekly, cannot print international
news. In this regard, all it could do would
be to publish that which can be found in
the daily press; such repetition would be
purposeless. Instead, in the matter of international affairs, a university paper can
present 'backgrounders' and information
having more than just immediate relevance. The articles, therefore, fall into
two main categories--historical and commentative--both of which are open to interpretation according to the political beliefs of the writer. My articles, such as
they be, express that which I personally
believe to be th~ most correct interpretations of current situations and events
leading up to them. They are personal
opinions, and nothing else, and shall contin ue to be such.

Your Weekly Rag

If you have read last week's issue of the Argus, the
first of the new year, you probably realize that your
newspaper is now a full member of Canadian Universities Press.
And now you are probably asking yourself . . . So
what?
Well luckily for you Mr. and Miss (or Mrs.) Superapathetic Argus reader, because we are a full member,
we have decided that you are g(?ing to receive the Argus,
not twice a month, but once a week. Yes, once a week.
And of course, we will have double the amount of the
usual biased, NOP-orientated, objective articlea you bave
- - - ~ -stated in our scientifically operated Poll you enjoy most
about our little rag.
•
Yes, now that we are a full member of CUP, we will
try harder to please you. 'This tabloid will attempt to
soar towards new horizons' (gag) Yes, we will even
endeavour to cover more University news, like the Circle
K's receiving of two $20 flags, while playing down unimportant trivia such as Vietnam and the Indian Problem.
But now that we are a weekly newspaper, it is imperative that we receive more help from you, the student.
We have had some trouble publishing the semi-monthly.
Now our headaches are doubly compounded. We just need
more staff. (preferably les jeunes femmes) You don't
have to pay dues in order to join. In fact, for the remainder of this term, by means of a special agreement,
you will be able to enter the newspaper ranks, free of
charge. Yes Virginia, free of charge.
If you are worried about (your) marks, don't. Every
staffer of the pre-Christmas Argus, passed the majority
of his exams. (basket-weaving, golf, broomball, psychology)
And the social life of the Argus is tremendous. Where
else can you spend a whole Friday night doing lay-out,
and coming baclc Saturday morning for more.

Letter to the Edttor
Dear Sirs:
Concerning your article on
Fred Flange, I regret to inform you that the mascot as
drawn in the Dec. 9 issue
of ARGUS is definitely and
irrevocably not Fred Flange.
The statue from which this
drawing was taken is called
ZIG ZAKOWITZ and the pieture was so labelled.
Because of last year's Carnival, Fred Flange is now regarded as the Forester's
Mascot; so why should all
faculties be forced to accept him as their mascot.
ZIG ZAKOWITZ is a newl
name that I think would be
readily accepted by everyone. Those who created ZIG
ZAKOWITZ know that he has
a definite identity. But some
narrow-minded,
unfeeling
and conservative regressives considered it better
to distort his identity.
If the cartoon won with the
name ZIG ZAKOWITZ on it,

let it remain so.
Mike Zroback
Investigating the charges
made in this letter, the Argus learned that the character had been submitted as
'Zig Zakowitz' but the Winter Carnival Committee insisted that the character be
named 'Fred Flange', as this
had been the name of the
mascot for the previous Winter Carnival.
The Chairman of the Carnival
Committee,
Julie
Wierzbicki, stated that when
the committee advertised
for entries in the mascot
competition, it had already
been decided that the winner
should be named 'Fred
Flange'. This was not stated
on the advertisements for
the competitions, however.
The official winner, Wayne
Aitken, did not object to the
re-naming of the mascot.

ALICE IN INDONESIA
Fifteen months ago, in September/
October 1965, the world was invited to
believe that a coup had beenplannedagainst
the Indonesian Government headed by Presiden Soekarno. The cout&gt; failed, and in consequence, a reign of terror was • introduced which can only be compared to Nazi
genocide methods. Hundreds ofthousandsof
patritotic Indonesians, labelled as Communists, and of Indonesian citizens of Chinese extraction were murdered in cold

blood. The crowning climax of this vile
campaign was a trial against Dr. Subandrio,
former Foreign Minister, a trial which
also has a Nazi parallel--the phoney Re-

ichstag trial. Subandrio told the court he
had received a letter alleging that the
British and Americans, together with their
Army friends, were planning something against Indonesia. Dr. Subandrio said the
letter was written by Sir Andrew Gilchrist, a former British ambassador.
It was against this conspiracy that the
army colonels waged their unsuccessful
coup on September 30. Another spate of
reports now implicates President Soekarno
in the attempt to protect his own government against the army coup. More and more
pressue is bein§ put on President Soekarno to 'explain or rather denounce the
actions of the colonels of September 30
which were very likely inspired by himself to protect his own government.
The Alice-in-Wonderland situation then
exists where a million people have been
slaughtered under the pretext of having attempted the revolutionary overthrow of President Soekarno when in fact the murderers conspired successfully to overthrow him.
Similarly typical of the upside-down situation is the detention of Malayan and Indonesian fighters of the official 'Crush Malaysia' campaign. First called in by the
official Indonesian Soekarno Government to
give their lives for this particular lost
cause, they are now being detained for
trial by the successor government which
• condemns everything Soekarno did as criminal and nominally condemned former
loyal Government supporters for attacking
that self-same government.
The trial of Dr. Subandrio--who was sentenced to death--was but one of many
put on trial by the Fascist government
now controlling Indonesia. Most of those
on trial are ~wns in the game of 'Kill
the Communist •
It says little for those governments of
the West which decry 'Viet Cong atrocities' that they protested little or not at

all the massacre of a million Indonesians.
Or perhaps it is an illustration of the
widely-held belief that a man should cease
to be regarded a human being when he
becomes a Communist.

Few experiences can approximate that
of standing at a wind-blown bus stop in
-40 F weather. As time passes into January and February, when the north-west
is a place where nothing moves unless it
has to, fewer buses pass the cold stops,
and fewer reach the University.
Bus service to Lakehead U is, at this
moment, very bad. The Port Arthur Transit people say that most students come
to school in cars, and that it is uneconomical to run buses out after 5:00 pm.
Ideally, the buses run on schedule at 6:15,
6:45, 7:45, 8:15, 8:45, 9:45, 10:45, 11:45,
and 12:45 from St. Paul Street in Port
Arthur. In the afternoon they leave St.
Paul Street at 4:00 and 4:45. I have yet
to catch a bus at its appointed arrival
time. One week ago I caught the bus at
St. Paul Street at 8:45 am, and was handed a pink transfer slip. We were all
abandoned at McBean Street, where we
stood with our pink transfer slips and
blue fingers waiting for another bus to
take us to the University. We arrived
a little frost-bitten, but at least we got
there. Unfortunately this was not the case
some time ago, when I boarded a bus at
12:45 and protesting, I was dumped at
McBean Street. I have been afraid to even
attempt to take buses facing the prospect
of having to walk the extra 3/4 to 1 mile
with a 60 m.p.h. wind screaming over the
cemetary, and freezing solid any area
of my person that I had not covered with
enough padding to keep the average wolverine warm. I am now investigating the possibility of renting trunk spaee with the
car pool groups, as a preferable alternative to purchasing a dog sled (what with
the high cost of dog food).
The possibility of a large group of people
attending classes at 6:30 and 7:00 a.m.
and necessitating bus sertjce at these times

is slight. The only people who do make
these trips are personnel. Since the school
is not open to students until 7:45 no student
would make a bus trip out at this time
unless he intended to study in a snow
bank. The rest of the bus trips, on paper,
are convenient to anyone who has a class
in the morning or early afternoon, andfrom
experience I can attest that they are not
empty. This leaves the student with classes
before 4:00 and after 1:00 on any day at
a disadvantage unless he wishes to devote
three hours here. This also means that
any student must conclude his day's activities before 5:00 p.m., It occurs to me
that I was mistaken in assuming that the
wild look in the eyes of many of our students
was a thwarted desire to take part in student
activities, frustrated because they must
catch the 5:00 p.m. bus.
I have written this at the request of
some of the people in residence, who,
displaying blue frozen feetandfingers, have
sent up a passionate plea in the hopes of
rectifying this situation. At present they are
forced to hitch-hike, breaking the laws of
Port Arthur. Must these people break the
law or freeze their appendages to enjoy
a small evening out?
Fon William is about as easy to get to
as Toronto, though the latter is preferable.
The average residence student would spend
nearly two hours on the trip back and forth
to Fort William. The Fort William Transit
authorities assure . us that the buses are
Port Arthur's problem, as the University
is in Port Arthur. Fort William's loss is
no-one's gain.
A word of hope to all University students.
A proposed dog-train taxi has been organized to downtown Port Arthur and Fort
William by one of our future financiers
with energy to spare. Return fare is one
can of dog food. Bring your own bearskin blanket.

Carnival opens tonight after months of preparation. There are
many different events P,_lanned and everyone will find something to
enjoy in Carnival Week. All Carnival events except the meals and
the Ball require only a Carnival button and an I.D. card for admission. Buttons have been on sale in the cafeteria and will be
available at the door tonight. I.D.'s must be presented when purchasing buttons. For a full-time student or first-year student nurse,
the button price is 75 cents. For all faculty members, staff or part-

time students the price is $1.00. After tonight, all buttons will be
sold at $1.00, and only during the day. No one will be admitted

Dean Martin as an antihero cow-wrangler. Now
Martin is a good singer,
and a good supporting actor,
but as the lead he pans out.
The picture• s saving grace
is Joey Bishop as the stonefaced Indian. He delivers
most of the gag punch lines,

Hollywood is getting pretty junky though, .when it has

Well after the opening few games in the International
Collegiate Hockey Association I for one am convinced
that its going to be a down the line duel between L. U.
Nor•westers and Bemidji State College for the first year
championships.
The Nor'westers proved a lot of things in their openil}g
games against Wisconsin State University with two convincing wins. Murray , Smith. Dave Siciliano, Dwight
Stirrett and Claire Battiston particularily showed well
in that first series. Battiston for one played the best
series I•ve witnessed since the days when he excelled
in Junior hockey. And it was shades of midget days for
Murray Smith as he continually walked by. through,
around and over all Yellowjacket opposition. But Aggie
was the real team work horse that weekend, and defenseman Lorne Gander was not far behind. Siciliano,
time and time again led effective rushes into Yellow
Jacket territory. Despite a broken nose, John Kennedy
seemed to be always in the right place at the right time
and his centre John Stefiszyn could find him every time
he was. John Fallis, though, was the man who impressed
the local spons writers a_nd sports casters. There were
not many Yellow Jackets who stood in his way when he
came barrellinp, down the centre. Of course, would you?
Well Jimmy Mahammid' Pronger seems to be taking
over the teams bad boy position. Keep it up Jim. Every
team has to have a policeman.
It's easy to see that the loss to the team of Lome
Everett, Kule Bishop, -Rick Lampshire, Vic Hendricken
and Lawrence Baxter could effect the superiority of the
team. But John Kennedy and Kieth Prignitz should take
up some of the slack.
.
We've also acquired a new addition to fit between the
goal pipes. He's first year Artsman Allan Johnson who
is certainly no stranger to the campus.
I would say that if we can tighten up our goaltending,
nothing is going to stop the Nor'westers this year.

SCHOLARSHIPS
AND
A BOWL GAME
by Larry Hebert

It looks as if athletic scholarships may be a reality
in Canadian universities by
'September, 1967.
Mr. Ivor Wynne of McMaster University and president
of the Canadian Inter-collegiate Athletic Union will head
a committee which will study
the adoption of athletic scholarships.
Simon Fraser University
is the only institution in
Canada -.!hich gives athletic
scholarsnips but it is not a
member of the C.I.A.U.
Western Canadian Universities seem to be taking
the lead as far as scholarships go, since several
schools in Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia have players
on hockey teams which are

THE ARGUS

SOME OF MY BEST FRIENDS
ARE UNIVERSITY STUDENTS
BY PRO-TEM

As I see it. the ostensible
physical requirements of a
university are a site, buildings. an administration, a
faculty. and lastly a student
body. It is with the quality
of the latter at Lakehead
that I am presently concerned. Since I am an habitue of the Crest, I have
rid myself of any possible
labelling as an abstainer.
I have also attended a larger and more established
university, and felt no
qualms
about
wholeheartedly supporting its
teams with a rousing cheer.
Imagine my horror therefore. while sitting in the
cafeteria on Friday, Jan.
6, when my intelligence, and
the intelligence-of every one

of you was assailed with that
heart-rending line, 'Gooba,
gooba. gooba' from cheer
no. 12 on the Lakehead University Hit Parade. In addition, the assumption inherent in each cheer was
that students attended university with the sole purpose of drinking.
I have a confession to make.
As the seventeen year old
forester quoted in the poll
on alcohol consumption as
drinking to 'keep the economy going', you will appreciate the fact that I can
drink with the best of them .
While I personally have nothing against our cheer-leaders. (how could any forester dislike a girl in a
skirt ~t short?) I must

confess the motives they attribute to my attendance at
university are far from accurate.
Ideally. a group of cheers is
selected as a means of voicing the approval and aspirations a student body feels
for its teams. I would appreciate ,haVing someone
point out to me how this can
be realized when our cheerleaders raise their voices
in unison to shout 'more
beer'. Surely there are one
or two people in this university capable of producing a cheer which is more
to the point than those now
in use. I appeal to you,
pick up your pen and write.

The Director of Planning
and Physical PlantforLakehead University has admitted
that outlets in a University
parking lot are operational
only 50% of the time.
Claude Smith, when questioned by ARGUS reporters
on the fact that outlets in
parking lot B (faculty and
students) were conducting
electricity only 30 minutes
on every hour, answered that
such was the case. but that
nothing could be done • as
existing equipment would be
overtaxed to supply more
electricity.

Mr. Smith said that since
the parking lot was only a
temporary one, one which
would not be operational in
5 years, it would be a questionable expenditure to add
the extra $7,000 - $10,000of
equipment required to make
the plug-ins operational on a
full-time basis.
The students were not the
only ones involved, said Mr.
Smith, as parking lot B was
also allocated to faculty and
persoMel. Mr. Smith also
admitted that parking lot A

When questioned on the case
of payments, Mr. Smith advocated a system whereby all

non-reserved parking would
cost $15 and reserved parking $30. He stated that he was
hoping to implement this
system next year.

complaint was that the maximwn amount of financ1al
aid required to host the conference, $3,000, was beyond
the council's budget. Mr.
Hider, AMS treasurer, proposed the motion to rescind
the Jan. 9 motion; his motion
was passed with ten councillors voting in favour and
four opposed.
Those voting in favour of
Mr. Hider's motion maintained that $3,000 was an
unreasonable amount of
money for any student government to provide for a
conference, particularly in
view of the recent resignation of Lakehead's own CUS
chairman. Mr. Jordan swnmarized his support of the
motion proposed by Mr. Hi-

der by citing Lakehead' slack
of a CUS chairman, the fact
that the conference would be
held five weeks before final exams, and his opinion
that the student body of Lakehead would not be interested in such a conference.
Strongly worded support
was also given to Mr. Hider's motion by such councillors as Mr. Thompson,
who said, 'Why should our
students pay for ,someone
else's joy-ride?' and Mr.
Penner, who expressed the
opinion that, 'In actual fact
we have been blackmailed;
we have in effect been told
that we couldn't host this
conference unless we raised
$3,000.'
The point was also raised
by councillors in favour of
the motion that it was unlikely that the ORCUS con'ference would generate any
enthusiasm on this campus,
in Mr. Thompson's words,
•will our participation be
that good here? It never has
been, what reason do we have
to think that it will pick up?'
Mr. Tocher! spoke at

length in opposition to rescinding the motion of Jan. 9.
He feft that for the benefit
of the student body as a whole
sending delegates to conferences at other universities
was inadequate as an alternative to hosting such a conference ourselves. Mr. Tocher! granted that previously
Lakehead University would
have been ill-equipped to attempt such a conference, but
he now believes thatattitudes
such as that of Mr. Hider,
'doubt the students' capacity
to accept the challenge.'
He also expressed concern
for the lack of leadership
evinced on the University
campus and &amp;aid that he
had expected the conference
would spark some sort of
interest in campus politics.
Mr. Tocher! felt that there
was no question now of the
intellectual capacity of our
students, and by voting in
favour of M:1:. Hider's motion
councillors would only be
harming themselves and the
students they represent.
He went on to add, 'If
you can, after this con-

ference, if it is held here
at Lakehead, stand up a year
from now, or two years from
now, I question that council
then as to where their interest came. I'm sure, right
now I'm sure, because of the
members that are on this
council, that there will be
students on that council that
will have ~artaken in this
conference.
Other members of the Alma Mater Society were also
present at the council meeting, and expressed a variety
of opinions. Mr. Hess, past
president of the AMS council, felt that Lakehead would
be getting 'a poor return on
the money', and that he would
far rather see students on
our campus involved in conferences at other universities. Mr. Sigfried, another
individual not a member of
council, spoke in support of
Mr. Tocher!. Mr. Sigfried
said that if only 50 students
at Lakehead benefitted from
the conference it would be
worthwhile. He felt that since
the council was only lacking
one member at the meeting,

and since there were also
20-25 non-council members
present, this indicated a definite interest in whether or
not Lakehead hosted the
ORCUS conference.
After further debate a vote
was taken and the motion was
passed. ORCUS, when contacted, expressed· disappointment in the change of
plan. The President, Mr.
Hugh Armstrong, felt that it
was an unfortunate situation
and although he had looked
forward to attendingtheconference at Lakehead, he realized that 'This wouldn't be
possible without the subsidy.' On the other hand, Mr.
Armstrong said that he could
sympathize with the council
in that a large sum of money
was required to host the conference. He further stated
his belief that 'Mr. Tocher!
had made a valiant effort.'
In concluding, Mr. Armstrong mentioned that he
would proceed to contact the
two other universities which
had offered their facilities
before Lakehead committed
itself.

AEd. MOST
STUPID DECISION
Of necessity (3:30 A.M.), this editorial is regrettably short.
ORCUS will not come to Lakehead University.
In an act of unbelievable irresponsibility, Council members have reversed a previous vote in favour of holding
the ORCUS convention here on February 24-26.
The main reasons for refusal seem to be that the conference would be a needless waste of money. ($3,000, although a surplus of $6,000 remained from last year's
budget), and it would present an impossible workload for
members (although some members suggested that they
would be willing to host a national CUS conference).
Other members stated that $3,000 was a sum too large to
spend, in order that Lakehead University could be proud

of organizing such an important event.
Now, councillors, we have only one question. How much
will it cost. to regain face, and to terminate the scorn of
other ORCUS members?

HORROR SHOWS
OPEN CARNIVAL
The first weekend of Winter Carnival 1967 may go down
in L.U. history as the rankest on record.
The Woodchopper's Ball on Friday evening, for those of
us (including the writer) who cannot remember, is reported to have been an awesome scene.
The ARGUS chained a reporter to a tree deep in the bush
under the supervision of the local termperance Leaguefor
72 hours preceding the dance to assure an objective report. Ha jotted down a few observations before being kidnapped by the Catawba Kid and his Four Aces.
Here are a few printable excerpts from his notes.
-An artsman accused half a dozen foresters of being

-Two types (male) did a strip in the middle of the dance
floor. One attempted to hang a rat.
-900 animals were present and three proctors (oops) 901

-The ARGUS office featured dancing on the tables.
-The AMS offices featured a brawl.
-A pacifist was injured trying to mediate an ArtsForestry conversa.tion.
-Somebody got rolled in the parking lot.
-Someone had his face re-arranged for obscure reasons.
-The editor parked his car around a lampost.
-A proctor (the sober one) threw the same smiling drunk
out six (6) times.
-C KPR refused to bring its expensive camera in for one
reason or another.
-A male Florence Nightengale set up a first aid post to
repair broken bodies at residence.
-Somebody doing his impression of super-forester dived
off the roof and survived. Maybe they are super.
-The forestry circle experimented with a new step called
the 'pyramis pirouette'.
-Somebody crashed under a dripping boiler and later reported three hours of excruciating Chinese torture.
-A glass panel was destroyed in the AMS offices.
-Somebody was injured by a pointed object, later reported to be a house key.
-A $75. suede jacket was ventilated by a cig~r.
The Carnival parade was a rolling drunk - enough said.
The nurse's dance was OK but the parties following were
a little better. Miss Dominion of Canada graced one of the

fascinated by the informality of the students ·here as people collapsed around her.

space in this issue. I shall confine the rest
(This article might well have been written
under the heading of 'national affairs•. but
as the subject has international ramification,. it was decided to place it under 'iatemational affairs•.)
Recently the CBC invited Adolf von Thadden, the leader of the West German National Democratic Party (NPD), to Canada
to appear on the programme 'Sunday'.
As soon as news of the invitation was made
public, there was a wave of protest from individuals and organizations which consider
the NPD to be neo-Nazi, or at best neoFascist. Chief among the protesters were
the National Jewish Congress and the diplomatic representatives in Canada of the
(West) German Federal Republic. So great.
indeed, was the protest, that the CBC withdrew the invitation to von Thadden. 'Sunday',
however, determined to present him, senta
crew to Germany to obtain the desired interview. Now there are reports that a student
group at a university in British Columbia is
arranging to bring von Thadden to address
students. The Department oflmmigrationis
reported to be investigating.
The foregoing raises two vital questions: Is
the NPD in actualfact a manifestation of the
renascence of Nazi thought in Germany? And
even if it be so, is this reason enough to attempt to preventhisappearanceontheCBC?
The first question is very complex -- far
too complex to be even attempted in th~

of my comments, therefore. to the second
question: If, assuming the worst, the NPD is

really a party dedicated to the promulgation
of Nazi doctrine, does the CBC have the right

to pay - presumably with public funds - for
the leaderofsuchapartytocometo Canada?
It is my opinion that any political (and any
other kind of) view should be able to be aired
over publicly-owned communications media. Surely it is a negation of democratic
principles to deny anyone the right of free
speech on the grounds that his statements
might be offensive to a number ,.. no matter
how great - of people. For, let•s face it, no
one can be sure what von Thadden is going to
say. What kind of standard is it which prevents someone from making a public statement because he might advocate a doctrine
which opposes freedom of speech?
I fail to see why von Thadden should be prevented from haVing his say. I do not believe
that the CBC isseriouslyafraidthatCanadians will en masse espouse the Nazi cause if
von Thadden were to make Nazi-ite statements, and indeed, were he to make such
statements, he might awaken many people to
the dangers of a resurgence of Nazism in
Germany.
The whole question is extremely complicated, compounded by intense emotional issues. However, I believe that theCBC'sdecision not to bring von Thadden to Canada
was a wrong one.

NATIONAL AFFAIRS

Leftish Polttical Sunival
BRYAN SPRINGGAY
The left (progressive) wing of the Liberal
Party can heave a sigh of relief - Walter
Gordon is back in the cabinet. Gordon's return guarantees the survival of the left wing
of the Liberal Party in the face of a growing
conservatism in Liberal policy and leadership.
In order for a political party to survive in
the modern age, it must adopt an increasing
liberal attitude. There is no place in a modern Canada for the eXisting antiquated laws
and a deeply embedded conservatism.
Therefore, the survival of the political parties in Canada, particularly the Liberaland
Conservative Parties, depends on the eXistence and dominating effect of the progressive factions in these parties. With this
leftist domination, the political policies of

&amp;"1!,,~s ~VA.r;./-

the Canadian government can evolve as the
need is presented and public opinion demands it.
The Liberal Party needs men of Walter
Gordon's calibre and political views. The
very existence of the Liberals in their position as the majority party h Canada depends
on such men.
What Canadians want are policies which illustrate a more progressive attitude. This
desire has been shown in the current upsurge
of the leftist third parties such as the New
Democrats. To meet this growing threat of
political annihilation, the Liberal Party has
to, by necessity. take a more definite step
and swing towards the left. This end can be
achieved by the rise of men like Walter Gordon in the leadership of the Liberals.

Well tomorrow afternoon is the big day as far as the
Nor•westers basketball team is concerned. Brandon College is sending up their hoopsters to take on Lakehead at
7 o• clock at Hammarskjold High school. The athletic depanment will be working hard this week trying to arrange
for a preliminary game between P .A.C .I. and F. W.c .I.
so that fans will see two games instead of one. The same
two university teams will play off on Sunday at 2 p.m.
Nor'Wester coach Bruce Bristowe is quite confident that
his charges can upset the Brandon team in both games
and has expressed approval in the play of Bob Bemko,
George Kostyshyn and Rob Cameron during the last two
weeks.
The L.U. hockey squad will host Brandon in a double
header at the Arena. The Nor'Westers are now in second
place in theI.C.H.A.anddon"tresumeleagueplay until next
weekend with the Huskies travelling to the Lakehead.
Dave Siciliano now leads the entire league in scoring after
collecting six points last weekend.
Kas Miyata will go down in the record books of the
I.C.H.A. as the first goaltender to record a shutout in the
league•s history. Al Johnaon played in his first intercollegiate game on Sunday and held the powerful St. Cloud
forward unit to three goals.

COLLEGE HOCKEY GETS BOOST

Canada's first annual
international hockey tournament was born in Montreal
last week.
And if the infant can be
nunured to good health it will
provide Canadian college
hockey with a new booster.
Invitations have already
been received by ambassadors to Canada from Russia,
Czechoslovakia and Sweden
for university teams from
those countries to panicipate in next year's Centennial College hockey tournament.
The invitations were sent
by J. DaVid Molson, Montreal
Canadians president.
•This can be a great athletic attraction,• says Molson, who also· disclosed he
intends to inVite • one or two•
top United States teams to
the eight-team event.
As foreign teams are
added, the number of Canadian panicipants would be
dropped to a probable minimum of three, according to
Molson.
-Why shouldn't college
hockey occupy a significant
place in Canadian life?• asks
Molson.
The Canadians president
is also quick to negate any
suggestions his club is trying
to· develop the college game
at the expense of junior hockey, the sponsorship of which
National Hockey League
teams dropped this year.

•we'll pick our future pros
wherever they be1• he says.
•Frankly, I don t care if
college players never play
another game after they
graduate.
•we want to see hockey
played wherever it should
naturally be played.•
Canadian colleges are
places where hockey should
be played says the boss of
the NHL champions.
•The days of the hockey
bum are over. Education and
hockey should be able to go
together.•
He also thinks there should
be more • channels• to take
care
of the academic
and athletic needs of Canadian youth. These channels
he feels are needed to take
youn~ Canadians •beyond the
norm without having to reson to U.S. colleges.
•canadian college hockey
is not as good now as it can
and will be.• he says.
•we need better coaching
and more training in the
basics of hockey--like positional play arid condition.•
•we're working right now
to give next year's tourna- .
ment the kind of promotion
it needs and deserves,• says
Molson.
•The money doesn't matter right now, i( s the development of hockey tha( s

and Dennis Olinik to record
a 5 point effon. John Fallis
rounded out the scoring on a
pretty passing play from
Lorne Gander. Despite some
solid body checking from
both sides, only three penalties were called, two to
St. Cloud.
In Saturday's encounter an
aroused St. Cloud team held
the high scoring Nor' Westers to a 2-1 lead until
the 8 minute mark of the
third period, when the Lakehead University squad fired
home three quick tallies to

break the game wide open.
Dwight Stirrett was the opponunist as he picked up
three unassisted tallies.
Mike Tracey, a newcomer to
the Lakehead University
ranks, notched a pair, with
Murray Smith rounding out
the scoring. Al Johnson replacing Myata in the Lakehead University nets turned
aside 25 shots to 27 for
Juran in the Huskies net.
Only one penalty marred the
contest which led the referees to •heanily congratulate the Nor'Westers on an

CUS HUMOUR TAKEN SERIOUSLY

SUPA - AN INTRODOCTION
A local chapter of the Student Union for Peace Action
was initiated on the Lakehead University campus on
Tuesday, Jan. 17. Since the
federal chairman of SUPA,
Mr. J.D. Harding, is on the
faculty at Lakehead, the Argus took the opportunity of
discussing the origin and
aims of SUPA with Mr.Harding. Strangely enough when
the Argus went to press
Mr. Harding knew nothing
about the formation of the
local chapter.
SUPA originated in Regina
during Christmas of 1964 aa
an outgrowth of the CUCNDCombined Universities Campaign for Nuclear Disarm..
ament. The method of the
CUCND, which was oriented
towards Canadian foreign
policy, was to lobby all the
political parties in Ottawa.
It became irrelevant after
the 1963 election when it
lost its issue and the Pearson government adopted nuclear arms. Mr. Harding expressed the opinion that •the
symbolism of Hiroshima was
an underlying thing for the
generation
that created
CUCND.• During the years
from 1959-1964 when the
CUCND existed, many thousands of students were involved in demonstrations; at the
Regina campus of the University of Saskatchewan
CUCND was the largest student involvement activity.
This was also true at McGill
in Montreal.
A year of depression followed the 1963 election, during which time the leaders
of CUC ND questioned the re-

levancy of their concerns.
During this same period the
American civil rights movement was active, andattracted people in CUCND as
representing the same goals.
After evaluating both their
own situation and the situation of the civil rights
workers, who expounded radical pacifist theory, the
philosophy of SUPA was set
down.
The people of CUCND realized that they hadattempted to affect only the symp.
toms of power, and in terms
of analysis had failed to

A QUESTION OF VALUES
Setting: Victoria Avenue, Fort William
Cast: A native of Fort William and a Visitor.
Native:
•Hello. Yes sir, I am a resident ?f Fort William. Have been all ' my life. You say you re from the
States? Well sir, yoi/re always welcome here. We .cater
to tourists, you know. We have clear lakes, forests,
resorts, camping grounds . . . . .what's that? Backhousesl
No sir, we certainly do not have backhousesl Got rid
of them fifty years ago. Tnesmell? No, that's not from
back houses, sir. Yes I agree. It would take thousands
of backhouses to create a smell like that. No sir, that's
not. • . . . . .you're smelling. that's the smell of industry
and the prosperity that accompanies it. How are the people
taking it? Well sir, there were many complaints at first,
but THEY have explained that all that can be done is
being done, (spending millions of dollars on it, THEY say)
and that this is one of the necessary ,evils that must be
accepted with the benefits. What benefits, you ask? Well
sir, the company that manufactures the stink is now able
to employ more men, pay more out in wages, bring more
money into the city through sales. . . . What's that?
You ask how many will benefit from this expansion?
Well, those who work for the company, I guess. No,
that's not a large percentage o f our population, quite
small in fact. How many are suffering? Well, I guess all
those who live anywhere near the source of the stink, including those who have set up motels near there. It seems
outsiders can't seem to take the smell like we can. Port
Arthur? Well it adjoins our city on the east. No they
don't have the smell. Yes, they do have mills, two in
fact. No, I don't know why they don'thave this smell. Perhpas it's a different pulping process. . .perhaps it's a
question of values, I don't know. What do I think of the
situation? Well sir, many are being put to considerable
discomfort, both financial and personal; a few are benefitting greatly from the situation, and THEY tell us that the
smell will not hartll us, and that soon we will get used to
it, and Will not even notice it. Alter all, sir, what's more
important, our selfish desire for personal comfort, or
industrial expansion, prosperity, greater employment,
more buying power? • . • . good-bye sir, enjoy your trip!•

COUNCIL BRIEFS
At the AMS meeting on January 16,
council's attention was drawn to the fact
that car draw tickets were not going as
quickly as expected.
To the sixteenth, only $1,687.50 bad been
turned in to the committee. Mr. Hider
stated that 1,400 tickets bad been distributed, but that a greater effort was required to make the project a successful
one.
The problem of distribution also plagues
the Circle K club in their efforts to sell
University calendars. Only 400 of the 4570
calendars printed bad been sold at the
date of the meeting. Mr. Cordingly asked
if Circle K was a 'little slac~ in their
work. Mr. Hider retorted 'Do you want
my opinion?' Mr. Tocheri suggested that
if a 25% instead of a 5% profit on each
calendar was offered they would be sold
more quickly.
Mr. Tocheri's plan for a Board of Trustees was finally given council's approval.
The board's purpose woul~ be to deal with
the building fund and the retained surpluses. Mr. Tocheri also drew attention
to a Political Science conference to be
held at Michigan State, to discuss Cana&lt;11an-Amer:ccan re1at1ons. It will be held
February 14-16.
,Mr. Hider told council that the ORCUS

The question of awarding the prize for

SCHWARZ REPORT

God.Aid for Healtl,,Sem~

OTTAWA (CUP)--A report which reveals glaring inadequacies in Canadian student health service suggests
universities should seek federal government aid in improving them.
The study, prepared by Conrad Schwarz, consultant
psychiatrist at the University of British Columbia•s
student health service, notes that only one Canadian
university--Dalhousie--approaches American College
Health Association standards of one doctor and one nurse
per 1,000 students.
The Schwarz Report, published Friday (Jan. 13) by the
Canadian Union of Students, notes that general university
funds, student levies and service fees have financed the
o~ration of campus health services in Canada, but adds:
With the introduction of a national medicare scheme,
it might prove feasible for the health service to bill
the government directly on a fee-for-service basis and
to use the funds derived from thisforpayment of salaries,
increase in staffing and purchase of equipment.'
But such government grants would probably not cover
all the costs of an 'adequate' health service which
should be staffed with specialized technical personnel,
Dr. Schwarz says.
In his 41-page report written from surveys conducted
last spring and summer among 49 Canadian institutions,
the B.C. psychiatrist says that while 77 .5 per cent of
Canadian campuses have some kind of health service,
only 44.9 per cent provide any psychiatric service.
Also among Dr. Schwarz• findings are the following:
. About 55 per cent of university students bad felt
a need for 'council or advice regarding emotional or
psychological problems'.
• Infirmary facilities 'appear to be present on 33.8
per cent of Canadian campuses, but the physical settings
and professional supervision provided showed wide variations•.
. Students are using health services 'extensively',
from the number of student visits recorded on 20 campuses.
Dr. Schwarz points to surveys conducted by students
after a 1963 conference on student mental health which
show that more than half of Canadian students have
felt 'a desire _to seek counsel or advice regarding emotional or psychological problems.'
The same survey found that students rank their most

discussion, it was resolved that the prize
money would be sent to the Athletic Board,
'to be used at their discretion'.
Mr. Tocheri announced that since the
Board of Governors • would be reviewing
the summer budget shortly, it must be
determined what is to be charged as Summer Student fees. Last year a one dollar
token fee was collected. This year, a five
dollar fee, estimated by Mr. Hider to be
sufficient, will be charged. According to
Mr. Tocheri, the fees next year will be
raised also. The University is growing
faster than the council, he stated, and as
a result, the dollar- ratio return in benefits received by the student would approach
more closely to the desired 100% if fees
are increased.
Mr. Hider commented that he bas been

not the students. Mr. Thompson questioned
the inclusion of Teacher's College at our
dances. It appears that they do 'the square
root of.. ! for us in return. Mr. Hider
replied that some Foresters of a past ,
class, in a somewhat irresponsible state,
blemished the escutcheon of our institute
at the neighbouring College.
Fiesta Latina, an annual llniversity affair,
was discussed. It was decided that the AMS
would not subsidize part of the cost, as is
customary at the Dinner Dances. Itappears
that this affair is one of the few functions
of that nature that actually makes money.

The A.M.S. bas proposed
to council that the society
consider the employment of
one or two full-time administrative assistants.
The executive will draw
up a brief outlining its requ1rements and recommendations to be submitted to

At the Jan. 9 regular meeting President Tocheri outlined why at least one full

BY WILLIAM SHERIDAN

Was the Canadian Confederation experiment a success? Simon Hoad and William Sheridan, under the guidance of Mr. Alan Alexander of the Political Science
department, formed the Lakehead University debating
team; they debated the above topic, both pro and con,
at London.
Totn Owen of the University of Western Ontario petitioned the federal government to hold a debating tournament to commemorate Canada's Centennial. The government agreed to sponsor the debates both academically
and financially.
The topics of the Continental Debating Committee
were appropriate for the occasion. The setup was parliamentary in style, with questions and heckling permitted. Since the principle of Confederation is easier
to disclaim than to uphold, we lost the pro and won the
con. On the topic 'Do Canadians Have more Fun?' we
agreed and tied. (After all, the sale of contraceptives
is up.) On the resolution 'That a good title for a History
of Canada was 'The Permanent Colony'' we agreed
and won.
Of the 24 participating universities, L.U. placed 11th,
which is a very promising showing, since our team bad
less than a week to prepare their arguments. Individually,
Mr. Hoad ranked 10th and Mr. Sheridan 13th out of 48
contestants.
This presents a good opportunity for both staff and
students to form a winning debate team at Lakehead.

Model Parliame)!t Budgets
The AMS meeting on Monday, Jan. 16, sat debating
for three-quarters of an hour
over the budget of the Model
Parliament to be held on
campus Feb. 15-17.
There were only two
campus political clubs represented at the meeting,
the University Liberals and
the NDY club. The University
Progressive Conservatives
were expect to be formed
after the Thurs. night lecture by Hugh Grafftey, P .C.
M.P. from Quebec.

The
submitted budgets
came to a total of $229,

The question was raised
by Mr. Cordingly as to why
so much was required to
run a model parliament
which was intended to be
simply an exercise. It was
explained by the members
of the parties present at
the meeting that the costs
of running a good campaign
to aro~e sufficient interest
in the parliament, plus the
costs of running advertisements in the ARGUS were
included. Mr. Hider asked
jf the ARGUS would run ads
for the parliament free of
charge. Co-editor Colbome
explained that a special supplement on the model parliament had been plaMed.
One of the items on the
NDY budget was the rental
of public speaking equipment
Mr. Jordan questioned the
need to spend$ 30 on this item
since there is equipment in
the University. Mr. Robinson
of the NDY stated that this
expenditure was necessary
to bis campaign. Miss Gall
of the • Liberals suggested
that this item should be on
the non-paniSan budget so
that the equipment could be

used by all concerned. Mr.
Hider then gained the approval of the Co1D1cil for changing this expense from the
NDY to the non-partisan bud- 1

get.
Mr. Marwood presented
the question of the ability
of the clubs to raise their
ow-,"l funds. Mr. Robson explained that although the
Liberals had done so to a
limited extent, the NOY club
could not pursue their
desired position of independence wlth respect to ·:&gt;ther
NDP eXtablisbments in the
area if they solicited support from their co:itacts.
Mr. Marwood replied that
it was bis im?ress:!.on that
clubs had only to ask, and
they would receive money
from the council.
Miss Ticknor interrupted
this discussion with the point
that each club should receive
the sa.-ne nmow1t fro:n the
AMS. Mr, Thompson s~t the
optimu n amount at $50 per
club. Mr. Marwood asked
who would be elegible for
this grant. After considerabte discussion, it was decided that a committee
should be set up to review
groups that want to participate in tpe model parliament. M,~m.hers of Council on that committee are
. Councillors Cordingly, Marwood and PeMer.

MONTREAL
(CUP)-A
revised version of the Uni-■
versity of Montreal's charter contains a proposal to
include students and professors in the university's
board of governors and senate.
The new charter, which
will go before the Legislative Assembly for approval, will permit two students
to sit on the board of governors, said associate vicerector Paul Lacoste.
The two students. who
must hold the equivalent of
a BA Honors degree 'will
be appointed after consultation with student representatives', said Mr. Lacoste.
Professors will be officially associated with the university for the first time
through their five seats on
the board. •
Other board members will
be appointed by the provincial
government, the
archbishop of Montreal and
U of M graduates.
In addition, a 70-member
senate, including deans, professors and students, will be
created to nominate the rector and approve major decisions.
The new cbanerwill transform the university -into a
democratic secular public
institution with a decentralized administration, said
rector Roger Gaudry.

CONFERENCE REPORT

U. of M. - UNIVERSITY CITY
BY TED WALKER
Four Lakehead University delegates attended the University of Manitoba conference on University, Jan~ 14-15.
At the risk of giving A.M.S. treasurer Ronald Hider a
coronary, it is suggested that perhaps the conference
would better have been attended by Claude Smith, David
Morgan, or other administrative personnel, as the conference was administrative and not student oriented. The
delegates reported that the subject of the conference was
primarily residence financing, university plaMing problems, organiZation of governingbodiesatanadm~trative
level only, and the problems of university-community
commW1ication.
Discussion also turned to the ratiQ of resident to
commuter students, a ratio that most instruetors present seemed to find extremely unsausfac_tory. The instructors expressed the opinion that commuter students
came to school every day for their regular 'ration of
knowledge and lecture notes.• In one of the panel discussions it was brought out that lectures and labs per
se do not constitute a full education. The panelists felt
that discussion among students and faculty was necessary, but that no facilities for this were provided. This,
in tum, led back to a discussion of university planning
and the problems of financing any new facilities.
One question which was of considerable interest to
students did arise, albeit briefly, buf was squelched with
diplomacy that would do credit to Wayne Tocheri. The
president of the student body of the University of Manitoba bad very gently asked about student representation
on the board of governors. Several gentlemen in the
audience, who could have been planted there, rather
loudly brought the question to the fore. The chairman
looked at his watch, and noting that it was almost time
for coffee, developed a terrific thirst and quickly closed
the discussion.
The conference, although interesting from a student's
point of view, did not impart a practical son of knowledge. However, the next time I want to build a residence I'll know where to start.

STUDENT FILM
TERMED OBSCENE
HAMIL TON
(CUP)--A
movie film produced by Mc
Master University students
showing a woman in bed with
two men bas been viewed by
Metro Toronto's morality
squad at a processing laboratory there.
Sgt. John Wilson of the
morality squad said charges
might be laid against the
film's makers on the ground
that it is obscene.
The
eight-minute sequence in question is part
of a scene in Black Zero.
one of trilogy being directed
by John Hofsess, a former
McMaster student.
The scene shows two men in
bed with a woman. None of
the three is undressed, but
their actions might be construed as obscene, said Sgt.
Wilson.
But Peter Rowe; president
of the university's film
board, said Monday (Jan. 9)
there was no possibility of
laying charges.
'The film is only pan of
a working print and may be
edited before the final film
is submitted to the Ontario
Board of Censors.'
Mr. Rowe said the film
was probably taken by the
morality
squad because
some film producers bad
been reported as slipping
small erotic scenes into
larger sequences, then clipping them out and splicing
them to similar scenesfrom
other films to produce stag
movies.

Laeheal Squeaks Double Win
Brlld111 Crushed By L■eheal Pucksters
The Brandon College Caps
basketball
team visited
Lakehead University for two
basketball games over the
week-end and left shaking
their heads in wonderment.
tn the first game, won by
the
Norwesters 66-59,
Brandon pulled up from a ten
point deficit to within one
point with one minute to go
only to have the local boys
score threequickbasketsfor
their margin. Don Holmstrom scored twenty-two
points in a winning effort
followed by Myron Warywoda
with twelve and George Kostyshyn with ten. Lindenberg
was high man for Brandon
with nineteen followed by
Myers and Taylor with
twelve and Harve with
eleven.
The second game, played
Sunday• was a coaches nightmare with the lead changing
hands no less than eleven
times before going into overtime tied 57 to 57. At the
nine minute mark of the second half the Nor'westers led
48 to 34 only to discover they
trailed 50 to 48 five minutes
later. The lead then changed
hands four times before Bob
Elvin tied the Caps by sinking
a foul shot with six seconds
remaining.
In the five minute overtime
the Caps jumped into a three
point lead when Lindenberg
was fouled sinking a shot.

The Norwesters trailed by
• two at the 4:15 mark but Bob
Bemko cut the margin to one
by sinking a foul shot. The
. Caps then tried to freeze the
ball but Maurice Siemeniuk
stole the ball and passed off
to Rob Cameron who then
passed off to George Kostyshyn who passed back to
Cameron. Rob Cameronmade
no mistake as he let a thirty
foot shot go Just as the final
buzzer went. The shot was
perfect and the Norwesters
won 62 to 61.
High scorers for the Nor•
westers were Bob Elvin with
17. George Kostyshyn. with 13
and Myron Warywode with 10.
For Brandon Lindenberg
hooped 25 with Harvey
scoring nine.
The two wins over Brandon
represent the first two wins
ever in Intercollegiate Basketball Competition for out
young University and what an
exciting way to break into the
win column. Sunday's game
has to be rated the most
exciting basketball game
ever played in the Lakehead.
If Rob Cameron• s shot had
been a split second later it
would not have counted. That
last basked scored by Cameron were his only two points
of the game. Next games for
our local crew is against
Cambrian College of the
Sault February 10th and 11th.

COS OFFICIAL BLASTS IRRELEVANCE
REGINA (CUP) -- A Canadian Union of Students official
has termed the recent withdrawal of eight universities
from CUS a •healthy sign• that students are trying to
reiate to their academic communities.
Stu~ents .are beginning to think realistically about
what the academic community is and how they can best
relate to it, field secretary Rolli Cacchioni said in an
interview here last week.
Some universities feel they can't relate through CUS,
Cacchioni added, and this is why they have withdrawn.
The field secretary said CUS will only become relevant
to Canadian students if local students' councils relate its
pro§rams to their electorates.
What the SRC is doing at Re.fina campus is quite
irrelevant to the individual student, charged Cacchioni.
•They are tied up with petty administrative matters.
•until they realize the difference between being a
legislative rather than an administrative body, they can't
be active on this campus. The student council must realize
it is an inteval part of the university community--not an
adjunct to it.
Cacchioni claimed Canadian universities are •middleclass ghettoes which function like corporations in which
the raw material--students--is fed in one end, computerized and processed, then exuded at the other end as
university students who have achieved the union ticket
necessary for success in our society.•

Lakehead University, playing a tremendous forechecking game, fired 118 shots in
two games at the Brandon Caps goalie,
Bill Warren, beating him eighteen times for
9 - O and 9 - 1 wins.
Murray Smith showed the way for the
local pucksters, firing five goals plus one
assist, Dwight Stirrett added four markers
and had three assists while Dave Siciliano
shot two goals and added seven assists.
In the. first game Smith opened the scoring
at 1: 29 of the first period from Battiston
and 5tefissyn followed by Stirrett from Siciliano and Olinik at the 19:27 mark. The
second period saw goals by Stirrett, Morancy, and Siciliano with Stirrett scoring his
hat trick in the third together with goals
by Olinik, Stefissyn and Battiston.
The second game Sunday was much rogher than the first game Saturday with eight
penalties compared to two. Lakehead University took 7 of the 10 penalties in the two
games. Murray Smith scored four goals in

UBC PRES. URGES STRIKE DROPPED
VANCOUVER (CUP) --The
president of the University
of British Columbia Tuesday
January 24, urged student
leaders to drop plans for a
general student strike if the
provincial government does
not meet university needs
next year.
Monday night students'
council voted overwhelmingly to lead students on the
strike if the education grants
for B.C: s three universities
fall below the$ 66 million requested by UBC president
John Macdonald.
Council voted to back
a strike referendum to be
held Feb. 14, and suggested
the strike would be held in
early March after the department makes its submission
to the legislature.
The strike would mean
that all buildings and roads
on campus would be closed
for at least one day. Student picket lines would be organized to prevent campus
access for all but researchers engaged in unstoppable

projects. The 17,300 students
will have a chance to vote
yes or no in the referendum
which is worded:
•If the B.C. government
does not allocate $66million
to higher education in B.C.
as recommended by the Macdonald formula, would you
suppon an AMS-sponsored
week of concern including a
strike within that week, and
would you serve on a picket
line?•
Macdonald's anti-strike
statement said the needs of
each of the universities in
B.C. as recommended bythe
B.C. have alreadybeenmade
clear to the government.
•That is as far as the universities have any right
to go. The decision in respect
to the size of the grants to
the universities is exclusively a decision of the government and the legislature
placed in power by the people
of this province.
• Any talk or threat of
strike by the students is
completely irresponsible and

Siciliano, Smith and Stirrett continue to
play inspired hockey but the end to end
rushes of Clare Battiston, now playing defence, had the Arena buzzing. Dennis Olinik
now playing left wing with Siciliano and Stirrett is playing fine hockey but Mike Tracey who just started with the Nor'westers
should prove to be a champion before he's

Canadian foreign policy should be designed to prepare for world peace, not to
prepare for war. It is absurd to think in
terms of trying to win a nuclear war.
All Canadians should have the right to
receive education and training up to the limit
of their varying capacities, to be protected
against abuse of power and the depredations
of organized crime, and to enjoy honest
and efficient government at all levels.
Those whohavesufferedeconomicadversity
or mental illness or have run afoul of the
law have a right to intelligent and sympathetic help, so that theywillhave a greater
chance of becoming productive members of
society again.
Equality of educational opportunity must
be the guiding principle in formulating
education policy. This calls not simply for
an expansion and redistribution of educational expenditures, but also for a continual review of standards of teaching, curriculum and other elements thatareessential
to real equality. A Lakehead University
New Democratic Government will provide
the educationalfoundationsuponwhichamature democracy can be solidly built.
The important question concerning Confederation is not what does Quebec want,
but rather what do we want Canada to be.
A Lakehead University NDP Govt. will adopt
policies which would enable French Canadians to fee 1 confident that they rank as
first class citizens in Canada as a whole.
As the NDP programme hits hard at
poverty in general, an NDP Govt. will automatically make a determined effort to eliminate the so-called •Indian problem•. An
NDP Govt. would have Indians design and
implement programmes specifically affecting them.

Students of Lakehead University arise.
Stand for the Liberals and give us the sea
(In the Model Parliament of course)!
The opposition has advocated •nationalize

equally socialistic measures, designed t
reduce the individual Canadian citizen to th
status of a puppet whose strings are pulle

The basic tenet of Liberalism is the
dignity and worth of every individual. Thus,
each individual is an end-in-himself no
merely a means to an end. The state an
government, Liberals believe, exist to serve
man and eXist by virtue of the consent ot
the governed.
From this follow some of the principles
of Liberalism -- freedom, equality,
security, toleration, reform.
To the Liberal, equality means equal
opportunity for all individuals. It means
equal rights for all individuals before
the law. Equality entails equity -- fairness
d justice for all individuals.
To the Liberal, security means the freedom from fear, the freedom from danger.
Security includes not only military but also
economic security for all individuals.
To the Liberal, toleration means that indiduals are free to disagree with con• ventional opinion even if these be the prevailing views of the government of society,
or our own beliefs. Toleration is the recirocal side of freedom.
To the Liberal, reform means changefor
e better. Any new proposal is a change
or the better, a reform, if it increases
reedom, reduceshardshipandrestrictions,
nsures equality for all, and implies military or economic security.
The Liberal Party is the party of reform.

great role.

DO11 LET YOURSELF BE BOUGHT OUT

Elections for executive positions on the AMS will be
held within the next two weeks. These positions, if handled
responsibly, can be the most trying that any student
would choose to undertake. To be handled adequately,
they involve a tremendous amount of time and sacrifice.
Academic standing and social activities often have to
be foregone. The professionalism demanded of the execu- ~:&gt;&lt;::i,.oi;;::i-c:~~,-.c::=,-.c::=,c;:i..&lt;:i..&lt;:i-&lt;:i-o,Q,o!C:),o,o,,Q,1b,,,o,C)iolC)ioli:::.,,,,1i::.,,c:,,.c:,,.c:::,.c:::i,,&lt;&gt;e:~_,,q~i,&lt;:i,.c:::i~,&lt;:::,,1
tive of such a large and active organization and the control
.of a budget in the range of $30,000 entails a workload
that would dazzle many full-time professional executives.,
All this must be carried on within the context of a full•time course load, usually final year. On top of this is
the constant pressure to communicate with and reflect
the genuine feelipgs of the student body. It is easy to make
enemies when such burdens demand unilateral decisions
and the necessity to refuse worthwhile requests and to
periodically pull rank.
It is a rare evening or Sunday that at least two of the
executive are not in the offices. These people have to
be present at virtually all University functions and the
blame for any failure mustfallbackonthem. Smoothly-run
successes are senfom credited. In addition to all this,
the executive must contend with an obstinate and often
poorly-informed council.
It is clear that an executive member of the society must
be a very special type of person. Whatever his motives,
be they dedication, a genuine desire to see this University
flourish, a dissatisfaction with past shortcomings, or
selfish thirst for power and prestige, he must fill certain
requirements:
-- a positive and progressive programme of student rights.

THE LEAST YOU

CAN

DO

Contrary to its usual infra-red editorial policies, the
ARGUS will devote this editorial to as sincerely an
unbiased account of the forthcoming Model Parliament
as is possible in view of the place from which this
emanates. Election day is right now -- Feb. 3. We don't
care whom you vote for (much) but we do care that you
vote. The Parliament itself will be held Feb. 16, 17, and
18, in the Great Hall. Dean Kerr is to be the GovernorGeneral, and Mr. A. Alexander of the Political Science
department will be the Speaker of the House. We feel
that since one of our staffers is dedicated to the Parliament to the extent that he has been willing to give up
his regular column on this page, the least you can do is
to express an interest by voting today. No outstanding
self-sacrifice is expected, other than that of the previously mentioned Mr. Phillips.

The fight for the leadership of the Progressive Conservative party is an interesting one. Let us take a look at some of
ther personalities involved.
John Diefenbaker is a man who will not
quit. It took him five tries before he was
elected and that was in the days when
elections weren't held every year or so.
Through his debates in the House he was
revealed as a brilliant man and the Liberals
promptly tried to get rid of him. Firstly,
they bought the house next to his and
opened it as a house for unwed Indian
mothers. There were other attempts, but
the last one came whe n they reduced his
riding to 1/8 its size and took away his
support to another tiding. But this backfired and the people were so angry they
overwhelmingly elected him; he hasn't
looked back since. He also had trouble in

getting control of his own party. He was
just too liberal to be a Conservative. It
took him a long time to get what he wanted,
and he isn't about to give up now.
Since Diefenbaker won't give up, Starr
and Hamilton, two very able men are eliminated. As strong Diefenbaker supporters
they will not run against him. This situation leaves only two serious contenders,
Hees and Fulton.
Fulton has already had a chance at leading
the B.C. proVincialConservativesandfailed
miserably. His chances federallf, if he can't
succeed in his own home aren t too good.
Hees can be dismissed in a word because he
is not well liked.
What it all boils d9wn to is that Dief.
will be here in '68 unless he dies before,
but I'm beginning to think it won't be from
natural causes.

THE ARGUS

When a Student Generation Protests

by Don Sellar (CUP staff writer)

OTTAWA--The
Schwarz
Repon on student health services across Canada pays
more than lip service to student unrest on the Canadian
university scene.
Underlying its clinicallydelivered observations about
the sorry state of student
health services in Canada
is a four-page warning to
university administrators
and governments.
Dr. Schwarz- message to
them is clear: there is a
new generation of students
on Canadian campuses which
refuses to swallow irrelevant courses dished out by
incompetent lecturers.
While their predecessors
were content about grumbling among themselves about food services, parking
regulations, housing facilities and book store prices,
the new breed iB challenging
'even formerly sacrosanct
higher levels of university
government with demands
for student representation
in open university decisionmaking, observes the UBC
psychiatrist.
The report calmly admits
that if only negative signs
are read into the new discontent, more destructive
forms of student protest-the Berkeleys--will be generated in Canada. And not
only that, 'but one can also
fail to recognize the power
which students have to contribute to the growth of universities'.
.writes
Dr.
Schwarz.
This student yearning for
power is based on the theme
that students w ant to do
something positive to improve university conditions.
That student concern for
what happens to universities
.;;;....;;..;.;;;;;...;;.;;.:~---;.;.;...;...__,..;.....
is both legitimate and use-

ful bas been borne out by
student demonstrations in
suppon of progressive university leaders and policies•
he argues, pointing out that
demonstrations are 'more
likely to be made within
the university to the university leaders but not necessarily against them'.
Finding the cause of student unrest is not as difficult as some administrators
and faculty members might
think. According to Dr•
Schwarz, manifestations of
student concern can be attributed to the search by individual students for what he
calls 'appropriate consideration' as individuals.
The identity quest is only
one aspect of current student complaint. The other
area, related more to dissatisfaction with the educational process itself, can be
seen as a demand for greater individual attention in an
increasingly impersonalized
university situation.
The knowledge and enrolment explosions are producing this reaction in Canada
the report suggests. lncreasing class sizes, greater
specialization among faculty members and a withering
dialogue between ·aculty and
students are takir.gtheirtoll.
'While in smaller universities students may still find
that they can form a learning and maturing relationship with a faculty member.
in the larger universities,
such contacts are extremely
. rare. Faculty members in
such institutions, although
very much concerned about
their lack of rapport with
students, are fully a ware that
1f they begin to give individual attention to each student their already heavily

over-loaded schedules will
become unbearable.
Dr. Schwarz then issues
his grim warning.
'What seems to be needed.
and what is being done in
many centres. is a new look
at the total university experience in order to find more
meaningful ways of encouraging true learning even
when large numbers of students have to be involved.
But these approaches require even greater attention
to the total individual and
to the whole university envtronment!
Thus, not only is it impertive that remedial treatment be given to students
suffering
from
various
forms of personality and bebaviour disorders, but a po-.
sitive program of mental
hygeine must be started in
educational institutions.
What Dr. Schwarz is advocating is a revolution in
student health services in
Canada, but the remainder
of his report would seem
to bear out the need for
same.
His descriptions of health
facilities on individual campuses are rampant with criticism, even though the psychiatrist is reluctant to condemn or editorialize.
The truth is that nearly
one. quarter of Canadian
post-secondary institutions
don't have health services;
infirmary facilities are present on only 38.8 per cent
of Canadian campuses and
psychiatric services are
found at only 44.9 per cent
of these schools.
And figures show there is
a whole generation of student
anxiety waitingfor treatment
from doctors who understand
the university environment .

PAGE THREf

BROWNED OFF
by Dark Brown

In September. when certain
of our students took up vegetating in residence. they
were presented with a number of printed sheets, listing the Does and Don'ts of
behaviour. Among these
were no alcohol (not even the
empty bottles), no women
in the rooms. no guns and
no disorderly conduct. The
example on how to regard
these rules was promptly
set by some 2nd and 3rd
year students who threw several wild and woolly parties or shall we call them
orgies.
Of course the first year
students immediately followed this shining example.
The situation soon deteriorated to the point that an
•Animal of the Week Award'
was being given for such incidents as passing out while
ladies were present and barfing in the washrooms. They
even started a club, known
unofficially as 'Cherry Pickers Anonymous•.
Certain others. full of P.
and V.• burned off steam by
water fighting with wine
akins and staning Chug-alug' contests which usually
wound up on the floor.
Come the Christmas review. certain first year students were kicked out. while
those 2nd and 3rd year men
involved were not. The rea-

son given was that they had
rifles in their rooms. There
were other students who al..
so bad guns in their rooms.
Why this double standard?
Were they asked to leave
only because they were creating a disturbance? Certainly not. Only those first
year students who . raised
hell among themselves instead of with 2nd and 3rd
r,ear men were given the
boots•.
It appears that no definite system of enforcing discipline was set up. True.
proctors were appointed, but
a few of these were among
the worst hell-raisers. The
students were not given the
chance to appear before the
Judiciary Committee. where
they could defend themselves. Does the Residence
Administration blackball any
:&gt;ffending students who are
not personal friends of the
proctors?

MODEL PARLIAMENT
TODAY
For the first time in the history of Lakehead University. there will be a student Model Parliament.
The entire student body bas the chance to panicipate
in this undertaking, for they are the electorate. Each
student bas the opportunity to vote, not on party platforms as presented by the national parties, but on student platforms as presented by the political clubs on
campus.
By voting on the issues as presented, the students
of L.U. may show their stands on current problems,
relative to the rest of Canada. To validate such a consensus it is imperative that all the students exercise
their franchise and vote on Feb. 3
The political clubs campaigning in the election have
presented their policies. It is now up to each individual
student to assess these platforms maturely and cast a
vote for the party that best meets his or her political
beliefs.
The success of this first Model Parliament depends
on the student support it receives.
So •vote.

'Down With the Semester

waiting to air their complaints and to get university

PROGRAM
Juvenile delinquency bas become an increasingly frequent phenomena of our Western Civilization. As contrasted to this, Eastern and pre-literate societies had
BY USING YOUR
a surprising lack of these problems. A study of the
contributory factors should -be therefore, highly perVOTE
tinent.
Perhaps as an opening gambit, it could be pointed
out that juvenile delinquency rests upon sociological
definition. Premarital sexuality, teenage drinking, and
allocation of rights to the young is largely determined
by the traditions of the individual cultures. The making
of such moral laws is just a method of canonizing our
prejudices, and using the threat of force to ensure
their implimentation.
A psychological interpretation is valid only when it
is realized that the individual must internalize the values·
of his society in forming his personality. Thus, the corporate values of a society determine modes of action,
and so of delinquency.
If a comprehensive view such as outlined here is used
_as a format for this conference, some valuable conclusions and suggestions may come forth.

WATERLOO AIDS DRAA -DODGERS
WATERLOO {CUP)--University .of Waterloo students•
council has become the first local student government
in Canada to join resistance against the United States
draft.
Council Monday (Jan. 30) concluded a two-hour debate
by authorizing its 'official representatives' to give what
assistance they can to persons fleeing from the U.s.
draft.
Peter Warrian, domestic affairs commissioner and
member of the Student Union for Peace Action, will
be responsible for implementing the program.
During debate on the draft-resistance resolution, it
appeared council members wouldn't accept the idea of
helping draft-dodgers fleeing the U.s. out of cowardice.
But inclusion of a clause indicating their desire to help
only Americans acting on moral principles apparently
satisfied all councillors.
One councillor who opposed the resolution was engineering rep Andy Moore who said: 'If individuals are allowed
to run awar from their responsibilities, society would
break down.
Another councillor disagreed, saying, 'If nobody in
Hitler's Germany had the moral right to object to the
killing of 4 million people. If you want to say that,
we'll settle the issue outside!
The draft-resistance program planned for Waterloo is
intended to help immigrants adjust to Canadian life.
Legal information, employment opportunities and other
background will be made available.

With 52.9% of th~ vote, the
Liberal association on campus bas captured a majority
in Lakehead• s first model
parliament. In voting last
Friday the Liberals picked
up 17 of 33 seats and 239
of the 454 votes cast. The
parliament will sit for three
days on Thursday, Friday,
and Saturday of next week.
The NOP club ran a surprisingly weak second with
32. 7% of the votes giving
them 11 seats.
The Disraeli Conservatives, a moderate right-wing
group, took 14.4% or 5 seats.
Bert Baumann of Arts II,
leader of the Liberals and
Prime Minister of the parliament was interviewed as
soon as the result"! were in
and expressed 'pure joy' at
the outcome. He attributed
the success of his party's
campaign to the hardworkof
his organization and the belief that its policies refleeted the political opinion
of most of the students on
campus. He also expressed
the opinion that 'perhaps

that were not officially sanetioned bytheNDP ... damaged

ART AND CENSORSHIP

------------------------1
The artist is not the ordinary man. He must feed solely
on his senses, consuming himself and his surroundings
as he works, and digesting with his mind. He has no boundaries as such; the entire world is his own as he chooses.
He is in the process of perpetual creation, whether it
be seeing, hearing, tasting, learning, loving, etc. Not
only must he do these things, but he must be above them
in order to incorporate them into his , art. He is the
bird in flight as much as the grub in the field. He is all
things through the exercise of art.
Thus, nothing is sacred to him, because he is familiar
with everything or can be if he chooses. Beauty, truth,
love, woman - all things are his subjects. If we have
holy absolutes, then we must have profane ones as well.
That is, ugliness, falsehood, hatred, whoredom. As things
exist, so the artist must use them, no matter what they
be if he sees fit to make them part of his art.
There is no man to judge what he produces, because the
artist is from the loins of Everyman. And if Everyman
criticizes, he is then criticizing himself. In his position,
the artist is not responsible for his art. So it is then that
he is above censorship for vulgarity, obscenity, pornography and the dozen other words of the same genre.
•-In using these elements which are deemed evil, the artist
is merely recording what is, with the embellishments
of his imagination. It is his solemn task to do these
things truly, whether they be good, bad, or indifferent.
Let no man, therefore, pass judgment on his work.
If a count of - the citizenry wishes to stop the eVil in
art, then let that same citizenry eradicate the evil that
exists. Art is the document of what is; let he who is without sin burn the first book. If a work is censored, it is
rendered impotent, and no one should take the responsibility of pacifying the truth.
Our education, our learning, our experienne should
give us the quality of rationality, the ability to determine
worthiness or value. We should be able to be objective,
to have an open mind, to allow another man's view,
especially an artist's. And we should be indignant when
the censor deprives us of this privilege, even when
what we view is coloured by so-called 'obscenities•.

mercldile 'falt accompli'

Two weeks ago, a convey of important
banking executives from the United States,
led by Chairman James Stillmore Rockefeller, appeared before the Commons Finance Committee to defend their 1963 purchase of the Mercantile BanlcofCanada.
As a result of suchamovemanyCanadians
feared a growing domination of foreign
capital in Canadian banking. But what most
Canadians did not realize was the fact that
the powerful
influential First National
City Bank of New York bad bought the Mercantile Banlc, by far the smallest of Canada's
eight chartered banks and the only foreign
owned, from its Dutch founders. Thus the
Mercantile Banlc was simply changing foreign owners.
The Mercantile fuss, however, was notthe
result of a change in foreign ownership.
But when the First National City Bank,
with assets of $14.7 billion and subsidiaries in forty-four countries, outbids five
European and American rivals for Mercantile, one can see a danger for Canada's
economic independence.
The crisis began in 1963, for on July 18
of that year, Rockefeller, chairman of the
First National and Mercantile' s President
Robert MacFadden called on the Finance
Minister, Walter Gordon. According to a
memo drafted immediately after the meeting, Rockefeller declined that his bank
bad made an arrangement but no •final
commitment to buy Mercantile' s shares and on that basis Gordon advised him to
adopt the purchase o:,; face the risk of restrictive legislation. Last week Rockefeller
offered evidence to the Commons Committee that the First National had in fact
closed the deal twenty-two days earlier in
an agreement signed on June 26, 1963.
The agreement was binding and irrevocable
- a •fait accompli'.
It is evident that the American financier
exhibited back-alley tactics whj.le working
in the dark shadows to get the deal completed. With · the purchase legality sane-

tioned, Rockefeller approached the Canadian
Finance Minister, a man who should have
been the final consultant before agreement
was drafted. It was obviously too late for
Gordon to even attempt to ward off the
American plans.
Canadians, however, are not going to
surrender without .a fight, The sword that
bangs over the Mercantile Banlc lies in
Section 75(2)(g) of Bill C-222, the Government's decennial revision of the Bank
Act. By this clause foreign ownership
of any bank is restricted to 25%, or otherwise limiting its assets to emasculating 20
times authorized capital, and thus force
Mercantile, which even now does less than
1% of Canada's banking business, to pare
its assets from $224. 9 million to $200
million. Canadians, therefore, although they
cannot prevent the American purchase legally, can restrict the American economic
influence expansion through the Mercantil Banlc through legislation.
Last week, Mitchell Sharp, the Minister
of Finance, suggested that as a solution
the First National City Bank of New York
divest itself of 75% of its shares in Mercantile, which could either grow without
restriction. Though Rockefeller had already
rejected that motion because •there's no
percentage in doing the work and giving
somebody else a percentage of the profits.
Sharp persisted hinting that Mercantile
might begin up to ten years to show a
profit before it is required to sell. In this
way, either by giving up 75% of the shares
now or by sale ten years from now, the
Mercantile Banlc will be controlled by
Canadian interests.
Canada cannot afford to restrict foreign
banking if she wants to be a banking centre and a world money market. To boost her
economy and financial outlook, Canada
should encourage foreign investiture in
Canada, including Canadian banking. Butwe
must be sure that we control foreign
investment and that foreign investment
does not control us.

END OF AN ERA
Lakehead University students finally appear to be
throwing off the •icy chains
of custom• as evidenced by
their more than adequate
participation in the Winter
carnival and subsequent
good turn-out in the Model
Parliament elections.
.
Apathy, thatfavorite mental
state of most L.U. hippies,
seem especially to have lessened last week when nearly
forty percent of the student
body decided to vote in the

Now a forty-percent turnout
isn't tremendous, but when
a twenty-percent showing is
regarded,
(for
similar
events) as a miracle at the
University of Toronto, Lakehead students may applaud
their own efforts.
Now in order to draw a
parallel in this editorial and
preserve unity of thought
we shall have a minor divergence to a sub-theme.
On Feb. 15, elections of
a more important nature -

Society - are happening. The
student government which
will be spending your money
next year will be chosen.
So here is your chance to
make sure your twenty dollars or more is going to
again be spent competently
next time around. It is a
poor reflection on a council
when it is burdened with a
surplus of six-thousand do!lars at the end of a year due
to either a lack of' qualified
councillors or students SUP-

Guide to Small-town Journalism Model Parlia"i:'~~°iiR~T~tbe,ii~Maini i ~ ' i ° l l a .

Every small town should have at least one newspaper.
It should be a nice newspaper. It should be owned by a
foreign multi-millionaire. If there is more than one
they should all be owned by the same foreign millionaire.
It should cover its front page with pictures and details
of the latest fatal accident. It should tell all about the new
tractor that farmer Jones just bought. It should revise
editorials from Monday's Globe and Mail to print as its
own on Tuesday. It must fill its pages with trivial wirecopy
when the ad department can• t. Its literary efforts should
be restricted to reviews of the latestrhododendronmanual
and an annual cookbook. Its reporters must be content
to work for $35. a week plus bus tickets to assignments.
They should have no writing ability and little education
or training. It should be conservative in its politics,
oblivious to social problems, unaware of sex, preoccupied
with gore and generally pleasant and uncontroversial
in everything it prints.
•
II. RADIO
Every small town should have at least one radio station.
It should be a nice radio station. It should be owned by
a rich local personnage and prostituted to propagandize
for the status quo which he heads. If there is more
than one station they should all be owned and prostituted
by rich local personnages. It must appeal to frustrated
paranoic housewives during the day and to teenie-boppers
of all j:\ges at night. It should have at least one resident
bigot to editorialize, a mindless clod or two read handouts on the half-hour and call it a news report, and a
rabble of adult children to play recqrds, read commercials, and report the latest temperature both at the
airoort and downtown.
Ill. TELEVISION

Every small town should have at least one television
station. It should be a nice television station. It should be
owned by a rich local personnage. If there is more than
one station it is not a small town so forget all this. TV
stations are all network-obsessed and kind of blah so
forget this anyway.
tV. THE MORAL

Small town journalism is usually full of shit.

Referring to the Editor• s childish outburst entitled
•A MOST STUPID DECISION' in which he points out
that the !!!!!!g of $3000 is a •sTUPID DECISION'; I
would suggest Dear Editor, that, rather it is you who
is the •sTUPID DECISION'. (Unless the value of money
these days is nil.) I am sure too that the A.M.S. Council members accused with this 'act of unbelievable
irresponsibility' by you will not take too kindly in the
future to your intellectual and emotional capabilities
of which you seem to lack to a high degree. ObViously
you have never heard of newspaper etiquette; and I
would heartily recommend a few lessons in journalism.
(Preferably before your next editorial).
Ironically page 3 titled 'LITTER TO THE EDITOR'
shows much more writing talent than most of the other
articles in the ARGUS (excluding the advertisements).
I must admit though that this week's movie review
is a vast improvement over the previous one.
I suggest also to Joseph Fiorito that he stop wasting
his obvious talent on smut and contribute some worthy
reading material in future issues.
Although the ARGUS is read by over 90% of the student body it seems to be a reflection of less than 5%.
Yet it is through our newspaper that L.U.'s image
is reflected to the public (not to mention one certain
drunken parade).
Yes, if these are examples of how we are seen I think
I prefer to remain hidden.
Richard Peacosh, Arts I

Money is donated yearly to
Lakehead University in the
hope that the young will be
taught to think for themselves. However, it seems
that some of our benefactors
feel they are supporting a
junior Sunday School class
who thinks only within established boundaries. They
were as a result quite
shocked upon finding out that
not all of us here are brainless blobs and we were repaid for thinking with a petty
and thoughtless retaliation. I
have heard accusations that
the Argus is a petty and trite
paper but in these two fields
the Argus can never even
hope to compete with the
News Chronicle, as can be
seen by anyone who read the
Jan. 31/67 article on the
student demonstration. The
facts were distorted to suit
the reporter's views and
some were untrue. For example, the protest was not
by the N.D.P. Perhaps Mr.
Winters would do well to
recommend a book on the
causes of World War II to
some senior newspaper men.
Keep thinking Lakehead
Untversity.

in one of my first columns
this year I asked a question
concerning the need of
cheerleaders at this university. The column, 'Do We
Need Cheerleaders', demand
for eight or ten cute cheerleaders to spark our hockey
and basketball teams and to
spread enthusiasm in our
home game bleachers.

that they were to cheer at

put on a very enthusiastic

RIBALD RUSSIAN CLASSICS
'

As much as the Hans ChriStian Anderson
stories or the Mother Goose Rymes are
classics, so too these little bits of Slavic
folk-lol'e should share the same exalted
position in world literature, and be read
by anyone interested in the customs and
cultures of other countries.
The stories in this book are true gems
of earthy humour that fairly sparkle with
vigorous wit and worldly wonderment. Like
the tale of an impecunious peasant whose
only possession was a copious manhood. Or
that little ditty about a young maiden who was
convinced by ,a wily shepherd that she had
jaundice of the bean and needed rubbing
with a certain 'magical instrument'.
The enigma of it all iS that thiS type of
story should be deleted from any and all
anthologies of ethnic folk-lore. We have
our war-heroes and our good fairies and
our poor-but-honest wood-cutters. But
where are our philanderers? Where are our

,
So here is modern society labouring
under the misc9nception that Russian peasantry was sex-less, when the final insult
is hurled. Every ribald story from the Arctic Ocean to Mongolia is represented in a
single book to the sex-sensitive Western
eye, giving the equally false impression
that Russian peasants were all satyrs.
Why could these stories not have been
blended in with the rest of that country's
folk-lore? Because people think that sex is
diny. The old Russ~ peasants didn't
think that sex was dirty. They thought it
was fun, and they laughed and joked about
it. Poor Western society! No time for sex
other than a few guilty thoughts or off-colour
jokes or extra-marital affairs! No time to
smile and have a good night's sleep. Yea

CANADIAN CAMPUSES SHOW FERMENT
Students threaten to crash a closed board
of governors meeting at Waterloo University.
Fewer than 100 miles away, Glendon College students' council calls for an assembly
on the subject 'whether or not the president of this university has the intellectual
integrity to discuss his views publicly.'
At the same time, a Montreal daily newspaper predicts the University of Western
Ontario, tom with student-faculty-administration discord over university government structures, could become Canada's
Berkeley.
In Calgary, 3,500 miles to the west, students at the Southern Alberta Institute of
Technology attack paternalism in an administration which forces them to attend
90 per cent of their classes and refuses
to listen to their complaints about lack of
adequate health services or residences at
SAIT.

University of British Columbia's awardwinning student newspaper, The Ubyssey
announces it is 'tired of being irrelevant1
and adopts a radically-different political
journal format.
Meanwhile, a timid report notes that only
one Canadian ca~pus possesses student
health and psychiatric setvices that are
on a par with U.S. facilities. The report,
published by the Canadian Union of Students, warns of new discontent raging in
student minds across the country.
An editorial page in The Daily Ryersonian, student paper at Ryerson Polytechnical Institute, recommends that
courses at the institute be extended to
four years; supports student 'freedom'
to take part in decision-making within
the academic community and calls for
cessation of U.s. bombing r~ids on North
Vietnam.
An effervescent McGill history professor
named Launer LaPierre travels thousands
of miles across Canada, telling students
that Canadian universities are • ghettoes'
and the students who attend them do little
more than contemplate their navels while
the world around them seethes with social
injustice.
And across the country. student councils
hold superficial discussions on the problems
of education, the social and economic barriers to post-secondary education in Canada and the inadequacies of university
factories. Their un-structured rivals in
student activism, the Student Union for
Peace Action, hold a meeting and decides
that more strUcture is needed in their
protests.
Most of this in one week. And all amid
the politeness and bromides which are
Canada's Centennial year.
•
All a manifestation of the Significant
Sixties--an age of mods and miniskirts, a
faraway war and continued poverty at home
and abroad.
This week, the campus hotspots are the
University of Waterloo and Glendon College of York University.
At Waterloo, students, council president
Mike Sheppard has vowed to back up his
council's resolution calling for open de-

cision-making in his university community.
.
He and other council members were planning to show up at Thursday's (Jan. 19)
board of governors meeting--in spite of
protests from university president J .G.
Hagey.
In a letter to Sheppard, President Hagey
said the student president's plan to attend
the board meeting, with the student newspaper present, could jeopardize work being
done by the joint senate-student committee
on university government.
This committee, which has three student
representatives, was formed last term to
study the Duff-Berdahl report on university government and to 'bring forward proposals for any desirable reforms of the
e~ting strUcture of the government at
the University of Waterloo'.
Sheppard has denied the student federation is trying to alter board procedure,
saying it is impossible to change the
board" s structure without revealing its
operations to the student body.
And when the committee submits its report to the board of governors, debate
on the subject will be closed.
Sheppard said that while there is little
immediate likelihood of an organized student strike being called to support student
demands for the 'open-door policy', he
warns that council won'tacceptcomprom.ise
solu~ons and could call a strike if all
methods of sober debate and negotiation
fail.
Student council members at Glendon College, another centre of campus ferment,
are seriously examining the new Advisory
Committee on Student Affairs there.
The committee fell apart in November
when student representatives from Glendon
and York campuses refused to support the
university president's 'closed-meeting' policy.
However. President Ross set up another
committee--termed a 'bastard committee',
by council vice-president Rick Schultz-similar in every respect to the old one.
'He's Just set it up in the same way,
thus making student representation on it
impossible'. says council president Jim
Macdonald.
~
Macdonald is now trying to establish a
university-wide, student-faculty committee
which he hopes will overshadow the ACSA
and eventually advise the president on
matters of student concern.
Several faculty members have already
indicated strong interest in this proposal.
Macdonald and Schultz are fighting for a
committee which will give students full
representation in areas concerning them.
Although council itself realizes secrecy is
sometimes justifiable, it 'must be the exception rather than the rule', says Schultz.
Rumors are already flying that students
will strike if President Ross refuses to
meet their demands.
Meanwhile, Allan Offstein, former editor
of Glendon's student newspaper, The Pro
Tem, is blasting students for their 'apathy,
silence and ignorance of their group power.

Year after year the war in Vietnam drags
on. People throughout the world are anxious
to have peace. Ways and means have been
exhausted by many yet none has achieved
anything positive toward that end so far.
In fact, it would be much easier for the Allied Forces to win the Vietnam War than to
conclude the Vietnam Peace. The basic
truth is that the objective of the Viet-cong is
to take over the whole country and to achieve
political unity under Communistic rule.
They would not settle for less.
Now, an interesting question arises: Would
the Vietcong win? In my opinion, theywould
If the Allied Forces wouldn't.
It has been considered by some people

elp her Viet-cong brothers and to drive

fought for her. As a result, the very issue
led to an open split between the two Communist
countries.
General
Douglas
McArthur was right in his evaluation on
the possibility of a Chinese intervention in
Korea though the actual event proved him
wrong as, if not because of Russian ambition, under no circumstances, would China
have intervened in the Korean War.
The situation in Vietnam is different.
Russia can no longer play the same trick
again on her Chinese Comrades.
The Chinese Communists would not intervene in Vietnam provided the war is limited
within the Vietnamese T errltory for reasons
summarized as follows:
1. The Viet-cong are notpreparedtoaccept
direct military assistance other than arms,
equipment, materials and advisory groups
from Red China or any other foreign country. They know that Chinese Intervention
would hinder rather than help them to
achieve their political aim, and if they do,
they would lose public appeal.
2. The Korean War is too painful anexperience for the Chinese Communist Government to recall.
3. Red China is unable to carry on any
military activity at present outside China
because of economic difficulties and political chaos within the country.

ANTI-WAR MOVEMENT
BUILDS IN U.S.

By Robert A. Gross
WASHINGTON, D.C.--The gap between
moderate and radical opponents of the
Viet Nam war was dramatized last week
as student leaders across the co~ntry
adopted divergent tactics to mobilize student opinion against American policy in
Viet Nam.
.
While 100 • student body presidents and
campus editors were sending a restrained
letter to President Johnson expressing
their anxiety and doubts about U.S. policy,
273 campus radicals met in Chicago to
plan demonstrations on four or five selected campuses in April to protest the
draft, the war, and 'campus complicity"
with the war effort.
The letter, which received front-page
coverage in the December 30 New Yerk
Times, initiated a campaign by moderates
to make their stand against the war 'the
majority position in the country,• according
to United States National Student Association (USNSA) Vice President Edward
Schwartz, who helped to gather signatures
for the letter.
The student body presidents told the President that increasing numbers of students
are deeply troubled about the war and
warned that 'unless this conflict can be
eased, the United States will find some of
her most loyal and courageous young people
choosing to so to jail rather than to bear
their country's arms.'
The letter urged the President to clarify
American objectives in Viet Nam so as
to ease the fo1iowing student doubts about
U.S. policy.
•--that America's vital interests are sufficiently threatened in Viet Nam to necessitate the growing commitment there;
--that such vital interests as may be
threatened are best protected by this
growing commitment; and
--that a war which may devestate much
of the countryside can lead to the stable
and prosperous Viet Nam we once hoped
our presence would help create.'
In keeping with the moderate tone of
the letter, the signers described themselves
and many of their contemporaries as 'people
as devoted to the Constitution, to the democratic process, and to law and order as
were their fathers and brothers who served
willingly in two World Wars and Korea.'
The idea to send the letter grew out of
a debate at last August's NSA Congress
between moderate Allard K. Lowenstein.

a former NSA president and radical David
Harris, the Stanford University study body
president.
At that time Lowenstein suggested the
letter in response to Harris' call for students to send their draft cards back to
their local boards in protest against the
war.
The letter, Lowenstein said, would be
a far more effective political tactic than
demonstrations, which, he said, antagonize a large segment of the public.
Although a first draft of the letter garnered more than 100 signatures at the
Congress from student body presidents
and vice-presidents, the students decided
to set up a steering committee to write
the letter and to attract more signatures.
Although the revised version was partially completed by early November, committee members said they considered a
Dec. 30 release, building on peace hopes
arising from the Christmas andNewYear's
truces, better timed.
'We didn't want it to look like an election gimmick,' steering committee chairman Abby Erdmann, a Smith College sophomore said; •... all the while we were
hoping that something would happen that
would make the letter unnecessary. Something .like a cessation in the bombings or
a major shift in the Administration's policy.'
While the moderates try to add further
signatures to their letter, student radicals
will be planning demonstrations on several
camfuses in coordination with an April
15 mobilization' against the war in New
York City and San Francisco.
These tactics were set at the Dec. 29-30
National Conference for a Student Strike
for Peace, held in Chicago, but the group
did not announce which campuses were its
targets. The radicals- urged students to
take such actions as class boycotts, picketing, teach-ins or other demonstrations.
Besides a student strike, the conference
urged the following measures to radicalize
student opinion against the war.
--civil disobedience;
--war tribunals, modeled after British
philosopher Bertrand Russell's projected
international court to President Johnson,
Secretary of State Dean Rusk, and Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara for
alleged 'war crimes'.

STUDENT REPORTER
FffiED FROM EXPO
MONTREAL (CUP)--A student newspaperman who exposed discriminatory practices in hiring executive staff of the Expo
youth pavillion has been fired from Expo
67's youth advisory council.
Harvey Oberfield, arts 3 and a reporter
at The Georgian, student paper at Sir
George Williams University, was approached last year by the committee and offered the post of public information officer.
He had previously written an article rallying support for the youth pavillion. But
when 13 of 14 executive staff members
appointed turned out to be French-Canadians, the reporter got off the Expo bandwagon.
He then wrote a letter to a Montreal

newspaper condemning this action as discriminatory, urging that action be taken
to rectify further paid appointments.
The matter was raised in the House of
Commons, when Robert Coates (PC-Cumberland) questioned trade minister Robert
Winters as to the validity of statements
Oberfield made in his letter.
The minister replied he would look into
the matter, and later in the week, reported to the Commons that indeed 13 of
the appointees were French-Canadian.
But he maintained no discrimination was
involved. •
Meanwhile, Oberfield received a letter
from the youth advisory committee informing him he has been sacked by a unanimous vote of the adviso
committee.

~EITHER PRO-SHARP
NOR PRo-GOBDON'

Hon. Robert Winters

The Honourable Robert
Winters, Minister of· Trade
and Commerce, has denied
that he is either leftist or
rightist orientated.
The former industrialist
also added in an Argus interview: 'I think that I can be
considered neither proSharp nor pro-Gordon'.
'I consider myself proWinters'.
Speaking onRedChina'sadmittance into the United Nations, Winters hinted that
personally he was in favour
of such. But, he also added
that Canadian acceptance
was not feasible at this time
because of our commitments
to other Western nations.

Folk-sinAer Helen O'Neill

COFFEE HOUSE
By Frank Shoemaker
It's finally happened. It's
been a fairly lon_g time since
the Fourth Dimension closed
its doors on Folkmusic and
let the 'bubblegummers' take
over the scene with high pitched guitars, and ~over-tone'
rock, or as they prefer to call
it 'Rhythm and Blues'.
Now, after months and
months of preparation a new
coffee house has opened in
Fort William, and in case
r,ou don't know yet, it's called
The Blue Flame'. a very
appropriate name for a coffeehouse. The Blue Flame
opened its doors officially
as a coffeehouse last Monday
night )Vith a sweet looking
newcomer to Folk music;
Helen O'Neill.
Helen is a 23 year old
brunette from Timmins. She
taught before taking up the
guitar. but discarded teaching as a lost cause. Although she was referred to as
a relative newcomer to Folk
music, that doesn't mean
that some four years with
various groups before she
went on her own. She picked
up the guitar about two years
ago and has a distinctive fingerpicking style, comparable to that of Carolyn Hester or Tom Paxton.
Helen has a beautiful voice
which should make her a very
successful folk-singer. With
an easy ~ace she rambled
through Many a Mile' by
Pat Sky, 'Can't Help But
Wonder Where I'm Bound'
by Tom Paxton, 'Changes'
by Phil Ochs, 'Morning
Town' by Malvina Reynolds,
'Reason to Believe• by Tim
Hardin, and many more ballads that filled the night
and created an atmosphere
of easy relaxation.
Helen has appeared at various hootenannies at the
now famous Riverboat in To-

A&amp;W
·DRIVE-IN

ronto as well as regular engagements at the Mousehole,
The Village Corner and
Steeles Tavern in Toronto.
The Blue Flame •(in case
you' re wondering) is located
on Victoria Avenue, next to
the St. Louis Hotel. Folkmusic starts at nine and finishes at one. The club has
thrown out all the youngsters
in an attempt to get the
Senior High School and University students and those of
18 andovertocomeandmake
this one coffeehouse their
campus grounds.
Helen is booked here until
February 11, but there is
a possibility that she will
be held over an -additional

week.

C'MON YOU GUYS
The ARGUS office will soon look like a MacLuhanesque fantasy. A telex machine will provide instant communication with just about everybody, a polaroid r'il.mera
for instant pictures of just about anything, a tape recorder for instant notes, and electric typewriters for
instant genius. Our chronically bare office is now equipped to function as a business of its size should.
Tools we got, but not bodies. Impending exams are
taking their toll on our staff. There will be only four
more editions of the ARGUS before exams. Surely there
must be some ghosts who have been haunting the library all year and now feel that they can take some time
to do something. Well, the ARGUS has lots for them to
do. Just drop down to the office any day, pick up an
assignment, and give it a try. You might even like itl

THE COMMITTEE AND YOU

CONSTITUTION PROSTITUTIOI

ROD PHILLIPS
In 1964 a right-wingmilitarycouptoppled

the established government in Brazil, and
Marshal Castelo Branco took over the
powers of president.
Next month, Branco will hand over power
to Marshal Costa e Silva. At the same time
a new constitution will take' effect--a constitution which attempts to legalize the de
facto administration which took office after
the 1964 coup.
Important points of the next constitution
include the indirect election of the president by an electoral college; the judgement
of civilians by military court; the authorization of the president to sign emergency
decrees; the delegation of some legislative
powers to the executive; and a referendum
for constitutional amendment required by
the president but rejected by congress; exclusive presidential powers over finance
laws; and loss of political rights for those
who attempt to subvert the •democratic
regime•.
In short, the constitution asserts the
unchallengeable authority of the military.
Criticism of the constitution is widespread, even among those who support the

general aims of the government, partic1
larly at the way the constitution was bul

What gives with the Jntermural sports
program--broomball and hockey? The only
intramural sport that seems to be proceeding without a hitch is basketball.
When Mr. Shannon is approached on such
matters, he treats you as the dirt he ♦al.ks

A certain gentleman of the SAS who set
up sixteen 9-man broomball teams handed
them in to Mr. Shannon and since then the
square root of sweet essence has been done
to bring the schedule into action on the
rink. According to Mr. Shannon no one is
interested and yet, every Tuesday and
Thursday aftemoon there are members of
these teams willing to play but the rink bas
been covered with snow. But Mr. Shannon
is an honourable man.
This year the Athletic Department set
up a new intramural sports program with
the new addition of hockey but there is
only a broomball rink constructed, if you
want to kill yourself on that ice surface.
So where and when do we play these hockey
games, Mr. Shannon?

The two reasons given for the absence o

HOW THE ADMINISTRATION TRIES TO PREVENT STUDENT RIOTS
Students across Canada are
starting to break out of their
self-imp'.&gt;sed characterizations as faceless nonentities
in a sterile university environment, and are demanding a voice in university
government decision making. Groups at Queen's, Montreal, Saskatoon, Manitoba,
Western Ontario and Victoria have requested, and are
receiving representation on
the administration's policymaking bodies, whether they
be faculty bodies or actual
senates.
Of course, the representations at this writing are discouragingly small (for example, 2 students on a senate composed of 70 members in Montreal), but students are still frustrated
enough to demand more than
the token condescencions of
their elders.
John Patrick, students'
council president at U. W.0.,
commenting on his senate's
decision to allow one student
observer to its meetings,
stated, 'It is a very, very
disheartening • situation.'
Patrick says he feels the
board hasn't realized the
council's main contention that all university members
should participate in its government.
This is the basic problem
of most progressive student
leaders. These protestations
from across Canada are the
result of student unrest,
linked with frustration in
their attempts to gain a genuine control in their universities'
affairs.
Naturally
enough, a representation of
2 students on a board of 70
other members will not gain
this. It is, however, a stan.
At Lakehead there is a
small council known as the
University Committee. Seated on this council are seven
administrators and seven
students. It is at these irregularly held meetings t:1!,at

students and administrators
discuss anything ranging
from bus commuter service
to tuitions, from Slavic studies to medical services.
In this way it is hoped the
students may have a genuine
representation in the policymaking areas of the university. Ideally the students and
administrators are able to
work out any problems and
then take their recommendations to the Senate or the
Board of Governors, where
they are voted upon. This
system works only if students are seated who know
what they are talking about,
and don't sit under the table,
willing to accept every suggestion from the other seven
members from the administration.
The ARGUS endeavoured to
interview a representative
sample of the members of the
University Committee, and
to determine how satisfied/
dissatisfied the Committee
members were with the system.
Dean of Students, John
Kerr, felt that student representation on the Senate
was not the best strategy if
our students wanted to have
some part in policy-making.
In view of the fact that a
situation such as that of the
2/70 ratio at the University
of Montreal would likely occur, if our students were
seated on the Senate, he said
that they would probably
serve more effectively on
committees of the policymaking bodies, rather than
on such bodies per se. As
for our own University Committee, Dean Kerr said that,
'It hasn't yet reached its
potential; but we should all
work industriously to ensure
that it does.'
He said that student observers at Senate meetings
wouldn't serve the purpose
desired, but he strongly felt
that the press shouldbepre-

WINNIPEG (CUP)--The University of Manitoba may soon
join a growing group of Canadian universities which
have succeeded in gaining student representation on
university governing bodies.
_
- Friday (Feb. 3) -the University Colle_ge Faculty Council, which governs U of M's third largest faculty, passed
a motion to give students six seats on the council.
The decision, which received almost unanimous approval from the council, Will go before the board of
governors Feb. 16.
If the board approves the motion, it Will be the first
time U of M students have participated in administrative
decision making.

Donnelly declined to comment on the boarct s possible
decision, saying, •~ don't predict things like this. I wait
for them to happen.

OVER 21comeCLUB
individually and meet

On January 14 the first
meeting of the Over 21 Club
was held in the senior lounge.
Judging by the attendance
then and on F ebrua:cy 4 the
senior students don,t seem
to be aware of the purpose
of this event which is being
sponsored by a group of
senior students.
The club was initiated to
provide the more than 500
L.U. students who are over
21 with an evening to them.selves; where they can relax
in an atmosphere which is
primarily intellectual. It is
meant to provide a forum for
the discussion and exchange
of ideas and the opportunity
to develop attitudes and responsibilities of a univer-sity flavour. The students
and faculty are encouraged to

others.
After they become acquainted, the members will
be expected to plan the activities of the club, which
will be the only organization with licensed premises
on campus, and as such will
be preserved as a senior
function. It is hoped that the
programme will be varied
by using folk singers, speakers, films, and dancing. The
evenings are operated on a
cost basis to ease the expense pressure on members.
The faculty is expected to
provide a good deal of the
food for thought. The organi.Zation is also looking
for a new name - one that
will reflect the sophisticated
atmosphere that is intended.

sent at the Committee meetings, and that this was likely
to occur as the Committee
evolved. In regards to student representation on the
Senate of any Canadian universities,
Kerr doubted
whether any university was
ready for such a measure.
Mr. Joseph St. Amand,
President for University
Schools on the A.M.S. council, commenting on the Committee, said, 'I think it's
great. It's something a lot of
other schools don't have. You
have to rememberthatwe're
dealing With the top J&gt;eople
in the administration.
Mr. St. Amand did not feel
that students at Lakehead
were experienced enough as
yet to have an actual seat in
the Senate. 'When they know
what they're really talking
about, I think it will be time
for student representation
in the Senate. Right now, I
think it's better if we can
try at our own level in order that we can alleviate the
problems.
An Associate Professor of
Botany, and member of the
Senate, Mr. D. Lindsay,
thought that student representation on the Senate must
be carefully considered. He

didn't think that at this time
the students at Lakehead
were capable of maturely
handling the problems discussed by the Senate. Mr.
Lindsay also said that 'even
most academics take at least
one year to get accustomed to
the workings of the Senate.'
Because of this difficulty,
he believed that in certain
fields, the University Committee may be more useful
than representation on the
Senate.
Mr. Doug Robson, first year
Business
Administration,
and another student on the
Committee, felt that this
body was a good idea, but
was perhaps not enough.
'What we need besides this
Committee is actual seating
on the Senate, so that they
can get the real student viewpoint on this campus, firstha nd -'
Speaking on student participation in the Senate, Mr.
D. Margan, Director of Finance, stated that he felt it
would be a good thin~, but
since he himself didn t sit
on the Senate, his opinions
weren't informed. One ofthe
shortcomings of the Committee, he thought, was that
it lacked representation

from the Board of Governors; in fact 'they are the
poorer for not being represented on the Committee.'
Dr. W.Tamblyn, Lakehead's
President and chairman of
both the Senate and the University Committee, said, 'I
think that matters of student
concern may be dealt with far
more effectively in bodies
such as the Committee. They
help to develop a good university atmosphere and even
better student-administration communications.' He
added that personally he favoured appointment of a student observer at some Senate
meetings, but he didn't think
that at this time it was feasible from the students' viewpoint to have an actual voting membership.
The President of the Alma
Mater Society, Wayne Tocher!, was somewhat less
than completely satisfied
with the Committee, though.
'It's a good first step since
many beneficial constructive things have come out.
But the Committee does not
have the formal power to
state opinion where it really
counts. Remember it's only
the third highest body in the
University.'

High scorer Holmstrom after a
field goal

Cambrian College of Sault
Ste Marie, Ontario travelled
to the Lakehead for two basketball games over the weekend and came out on the short
end of both scores.
In the first game played
Saturday night in the Hammarskjold gymnasium the
Nor'W esters defeated Cambrian 63-43 while Sunday's
game had Lakehead University winningbya 73-60count.
The first game started
off very badly with neither
team able to hit the basket
with any consistency. The
score at the end of this dismal first half was 20-20
with Lakehead University

scoring only seven out of·
forty ...four attempted field
goals and hitting only two
of eight free throws. Thesecond half saw two changed
teams take the floor as Lakehead University hit seven out
of eight field goals and Cambrian hit seven out of ten in
the first five minutes of play.
At this point the roof fell
in for Cambrian as both
Fletcher and Barber fouled
out. Nor'Westers then took
complete charge as they raced the score up to a 6343 final. For Cambrian the
high scorers were Fletcher
and Plaskett with 12 each and
Kommsaar with 8. For the
Nor'Westers Holmstrom scored 19 followedbyElvinand
Kostyahyn with 10 each.
The second game played
Sunday was a much better
game of basketball with both
teams trading baskets throughout. The Nor'Westers led
·34 to 26 at the end of the
first half and never looked
back as they went on to defeat Cambrian by a score
of 73 to 60.
Fletcher, Cambrian' s high
scoring centre, had the best
single effort of any indivi..
dual opponent the Nor' Westers have faced this year as
he led both teams with a fine
30 point effort. Paul Barber
was the only other Cambrian
player to score in the double
figures
as
he hooped
16 points. Don Holmstrom
again led the Nor'Westers
with 23 points followed by
George Kostyahyn with 16
and Jim Johnson with 9.

The Cambrian Players

Thurber's play contains

very American type of

of man's day-dreams, cocktail parties, and most of all,
that menace to civilization;

�HEALTH AND PSYCHIATRIC SERVICES NEGLECTED
Only one university in Canada, Dalhousie University
in Halifax, approaches the
recommended standard of
the American College Health
Association for one physician and one nurse per
1,000 students. This is a
finding of a Report on Health
and Psychiatric Services on
Canadian
Campuses
by
UBC's Dr. Conrad Schwarz
which examines the whole
range of medical services
available to the Canadian
student.
The facilities at Lakehead
University stand far down
the list. There is no professional Student Health Service this year but plans call
for the establishment of such
a service next year. The
availability of two first aid
men was recently announced
by the custodial department.
A psychiatric service was
started in 1965. It consists
of one consulting psychia-

trist who gives two halfdays per month to the
assessment of students but
no treatment facilities are
available.
The
'Schwarz' Report,
which was published early
in 1967 by the Canadian Union of Students, shows that
while 77 .5% of Canadian
campuses have some kind
of health service, only 44. 9%
provide any sort of psychiatric service. Schwarz points
out that the signs of student
unrest so often noted by
university
administrators
and government officials,
are very often a result of
the student's search for identity. He states that in late
adolescence 'the average
university student is still
engaged in... the complex
process by which (he) defines those values, standdards and attitudes which
will give him a reasonably
consistent approach to the

responsibliities of adult life ciety which has replaced the
