'I am disturbed at the approach the RCMP uses--seeking interviews on a personal basis with people who are obvious:.. ly selected for the position they hold,• Ward said in a prepared statement, Tuesday. 'It is entirely possible that youth leaders provide information in a manner quite contrarr to the knowledge or wishes of the people who elect them . CUS raised the issue Monday by asking Prime Minister Pearson 'to protest strong1i.': the covered intrusion of the CIA' into CUS affairs and to provide assurance that the RCMP is not engaged in any similar operation•. Asked why CUS made the statement, Ward replied, 'My prime concern is that students do not become involved in a network of information over which they have no future control'. In 1965 and 1966, CUS receivedtwin$1500payments from the Foundation of Youth and Student Affairs, an alleged CIA front organization. The money went towards financing two student conferences, Ward explained, and at notimedidFYSA or the CIA attempt to influence the course the meetings took. Ward described as 'friendly an interview last summer with an RCMP officer held at CUS headquarters. A request from Ward that the talk be'consideredpublicand non-confidential' was met by the RCMP. 'In addition to expressing interest in receiving information on the tradition topic, Eastern European Student Politics, the officer mentioned that he was particuarly interested in knowing about subversion in Canada. 'I refused to involve myself or the Union in such activities• Ward said. 'Since then there has been no further contact from the RCMP'. Reporters zeroed in on other possible CIA payments to CUS, but Ward maintained that except for the two FYSA grants, there was only an indirect grant from FYSA to World Assembly of Youth to CUS. Ward travelled to a number of international student conferences. '! A_>;! """ lcnnw tn whAt extent our ex~rience has been duplicated around the country', he said, But I should hope that it will come clear in the next few days•. Ward expressed dissatisfaction with the Prime Minister• s refusal Monday to protest formally the CIA' s 'covered intrusion• into CUS affairs. 'I don,t believe it (Mr. • Pearson's statement) is very satisfactory: FEBRUARY 24, 1967 US GEN.-SEC. -CUS SUSPECTED PORT ARTHUR (CUP) - The general secretary of World University Service of Canada has expressed surprise that executive members of CUS were not aware that they were receiving CIA funds in 1965 and 1966. 'To my personal lc.tlowledge, it was common gossip among the officers of CUS two or th ree years ago• . He added, 'I am' not referring to junior officers. I am referring to senior officers that would be involved in this sort of negotiation. CUS is perfectly aware who its officers were. If CUS prefers to remain quiet then I am not going to speak'. 'But I know one person for sure, I can be absolutely certain, knew or suspected that it (money) was coming from the CIA. It was common knowledge at the time that a lot of organizations were being helped by the Council of Students and Youth Affairs.' L.U. NOR'WESTERS •• LEAGUE CHAMPS -- SEE PAGE 4. Concerning the whole affair (one in which the Internatio1¥1l WUS was implicated), Mr. Mayer stated, A lot of fuss is being raised retrospectively over something which didn't seem to create much trouble at the time. I also think the criterian is not where the money came from but where it was spent.' But on the rumour of high CUS officers a few years ago facetiously joking about their CIA involvement Mayer said, 'At sort of outside meetings in social gatherings, people were making cracks about the CIA money being used. Now whether they had reason for making these cracks or whether they were just being faceteous I don• t know'. Mr Mayer went on to mention also that CIA funds partly financed the 1962 International Students Conference at Laval University, in Quebec City. Mr Mayer stated these opinions at an ARGUS interview on Tuesday, Februa,,., 21. ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• OTTAWA (CUP) - 'Any speculation by student leaders as to the possible sources of NSA funds has always been just that-s~culation', Doug Ward said Wednesday. The stories about a rumour a lot of us have suspected the NSA received money from the US government for international activities and that the NSA had undue influence over the way US money was used to support international student activities. 'But to the best of my knowledge it has always been in the realm of rumours--a whole spectrum of rumour about where the money mi~t have come from•. Ward said, Mr Mayer is old enought to know the difference between rumour and reality and that rumour is not enough to go on. If Mayer knew definitely that the money came from the CIA, I am sorry he did not divulge it three years ago.' Paul Becker, a former WUS Vice-President and CUS Vice-President, backed up Ward, stating, 'There has never been any documentary evidence or statements by people who should know, linking the FYSA to the NSA and CIA'.

CUS past-president Pat Kenniff, contacted in Quebec City, said C US had applied for and received a grant from FYSA to sponsor two seminars on international affairs, one in 1964-65 and the other in 1965-60. CUS received about $1,500 from FYSA. • CUS President Doug Ward in Ottawa Sunday said, 'We figured they had a great interest in giving money to student organizations and since there is little money available in Canada, we applied for the grant.' Last week Ward denied CUS had received CIA money. Commenting on Winkler's allegations, Ward added, 'To the best of my knowledge, none of this money has ever been offered to CUS.' Kenniff denied too that any CIA funds other than the FYSA grant had been given to CUS during his tenure. TELEX INSTAI,I,ED EIGHT PAGES Both Ward and Kenniff said they hadn't known FYSA was connected with the CIA until last week, and Ward added, 'I don't think the CIA got very good value for their money•. David Jenkins, 1963-64 CUS President, contacted Sunday flight in Calgary, said during his year in office CUS had regular communications with the U.S. National Student Association, but that 'at no time was I aware that they were involved with the CIA: Ramparts Magazine revealed last week the NASA had been receiving large amounts of money from the CIA for the past 15 years. . The Times article also listed Crossroads Africa, World University Service, and the United States Student Press Association among 25 organizations receiving FYSA aid. USSPA Secretary Robert Gross _said his organization had received $2,900 from a CIA-affiliated foundation in the summer of 1965 to finance an Indian student working on a U.S. campus paper and a study of USSPA international programming. In the House of Commons last Friday, Mr. Winkler asked for an investigation to en-' sure the CIA and RCMP don't use students at Canadian universities to gather police intelligence. In reply, Defence Minister Paul Hellyer said he had no knowledge that students were engaged in undercover assignments for the C::IA, but promised to investigate. 'We didn't know the CIA was backing the NSA or the ISC (International Student Conference),' commented Richard Good, former CUS Vice-President, in Winnipeg. 'We had assumed the State Department was involved with the NSA and the NSA channeled funds to the ISC .' Good said the Canadian position has been that the ISC was being used as a tool for cold war politics, and one of the reasons for CIA support was to thwart the Communist-backed International Union of Students. The recent disclosures might lead to the ISC's demise, Good predicted. Two-thirds of the ISC budget comes from U.S. sources. �THE February FEBRUARY 24 , 19 PAGE 2 THE ARGUS Turmoil ARGUS The ARGUS is published weekly by the Alma Mater Society of Lakehead University.

We appreciate the effort and inconvenience to the library staff that is involved, but wonder what happens to the students who find it necessary to use the library Saturday afternoons when Sunday follows, as it has a habit of doing. Even if present library attendance on Saturday afternoon is not overwhelming, with pre-exam panic impending, Sunday openings will be justified shortly. The ARGUS recommends that the library staff look into the possibilities of making the reading-room facilities available to students on Sunday afternoon from 12 to 5 p.m. cl is hope for an ev~ntual stable educat1011 system. Nevertheless, what stimulated the Strilc From where did the force come to instigl: this rising action? A Parent Commissi assigned in 1961 to investigate the arcru educational system in the province, I prepared numerous briefs. Its findings ha concluded, that the majority of teache need upgrading.

It is simply a presentation of internal educational problems: the French-English Catholic Teacher's Strike. The Quebec government has passed a form of legislation with wHich the adjective, remedial is undoubtedly associated. Remedial legislation has always been repugnant; a policy of •sunny ways', reechoing Wilfird Laurier•s phrase seems to be more agreeable. But there is no doubt that without this perhaps appropriate action taken by Daniel Johnson• s Union Nationale Party, the strike would have been interminable. No hope of agreement was apparent. Parent groups and high school and university students tried to act as substitutes while the teachers were on strike. Nonetheless, this temporary set up was insufficient. Unequivocally, the school children were falling behind; they, in the long run, would be the ones to suffer. True, the teachers have valid points of contention--particularly in their demands for better pay and working conditions--but had the teachers' unions not called a strike the provincial government might have been more receptive. • Incidently, the government's legislation or Bill 25 which prohibits further strikes until 1968 also proposed the establishment of a system of collective bargaining on a provincial scale. The government will probably use the latter clause to support its action explicitly. In it, perhaps there 24, 1967, Volume 1, no. XIII, Port Arthur. Co-editors • Ill once . in a blue moon· ' i ti .; •' t t ! Without getting involved in personalities, the ARGUS would like to commend our outgoin·g AMS executive. The fact that the ARGUS staff and the AMS executive have frequently been on the outs is common knowledge, but on our part at least, there has been a sometime admiration for a difficult job competently done. We realize that positions on the AMS executive are second in order of difficulty at this university, (the most difficult being the positions of ARGUS staffers), and although these offices are overrated, the persons who s0erved in these capacities this year have risked their academic year, not to mention life and limb, to serve the student body. What was in it for them? Certainly not monetary gain-the honoraria would scarcely pay for the spirits necessary to aid in a temporary escape from office duties. Surely it can't have been the appeal of a mad social whirl. Working late at night and on weekends isn't the sort of mad social whirl one usually thinks of. We are at a lo~s to determine just why they did run, but once elected, our executive have, to the best of their abilities, devoted themselves to that nebulous thing called the students' interest. One final suggestion. Now that the executive are turning over their offices, to the new executive, with all that free time on their hands, the ARGUS is willing to accept any literary efforts they might like to busy themselves with. Next week we will offer equal space to the outgoing executive to allow them to pat the ARGUS on the back .

FEBRUARY 24, 19 U.S. STUDENT GROUPS LINKED WITH aA Washington, DC (CUP)--Three more college student groups were linked Wednesday to undercover financial backing by the United States Central Intelligence Agency. As the controversy mushroomed, a Congressman said military draft deferments have been granted leaders of one group. But the CIA remained silent about a report in a Washington newspaper that it was giving financial aid to three other student organizations in addition to the National Student Association, the largest student organization in the US. The Evening Star identified the three other groups as the US Youth Council with head.quarters in New York, the World Assembly of Youth in Brussels, and the International Student Conference in Leyden, Netherlands. Tuesday the government acknowledged the NSA · had been receiving funds from the American espionage agency for more than a decade. Thus the ISC, which is American-backed, is by implication receiving financial support from the CIA. But confirmation or denial of CIA involvement with the two other student groups has not been forthcoming. The draft deferment disclosure occurred when Democrat Robert W. Kastenmeier said he had information that top NSA officers automatically received a 2-A occupational deferment from the selective service board. 'It goes with the job,' said Mr. Kastenmeier, -one of eight House of Representatives members who called on President Johnson to order an inquiry 'at the highest level' of the NSA-CIA link. But a Selective Service spokesman denied Mr. Kastenmeier's charge, saying he knew of no special treatment for National Student Association officers.

(CUP) --The American State Department revealed Tuesday (Feb. 14) that the Central Intelligence Agency has been a secret financial backer of the United States' largest student organization for more than 10 years. The disclosure has threat-ened the future of the National Student Association, especially in the U.S.-backed International' Student Conference, and has promised a new storm in academic circles and in Congress over the spy agency's operations. The NSA plays a prominent role in the ISC, the American counterpart of the Russian-dominated International Union of Students. By accepting CIA funds, the American student associa•tion is by implication under CIA control, and thus a mouthpiece for the CIA instead of the voice for the one million American college students it represents. But Capitol Hill sources familiar with CIA activities said privately they were aware of the CI.A-NSA financial ties and the State Department indicated the relationship was approved "at the high levels of government•. NSA president Eugene Groves revealed the financial connection after Ramparts magazine said in news- it would expose •how the CIA has infiltrated andsubverted the world of American stu- ' dent leaders". •The relationship apparently originated because the Central Intelligence Agency believed that a strong American national union of students acting internationally (in the ISC) was in the national interest,• the 23-year-old Groves said. CUS has associate membership status and no vote in both the International Student Conference and the International Union of Students. Student organizations of this type have been made • conscious instruments of a rather pathetic cold war,• the CUS chief said. A year ago, Jim Laxer, then the president of Canadian University Press, was the first to say the NSA received funds from sources other than its 287 member schools. The NSA raises •the bulk of its annual budget of several hundred thousanddollars from American foundations and even from the American government,• Laxer wrote in a feature at that time. He did not identify the CIA as the government agency giving the NSA a financial boost. lete attitude, what is needed is recognition that the student is also the leading critic of university and society. . Because the student is not yet absorbed into the institutions of society and not yet fully awareofhowfactscompromise ideals, he is in the best position to cast a skeptical eye on the pretensions of educators and other decisionmakers. To share power is to share responsibility. If students · were to receive a vote as well as a voice in the affairs o f university and society, they could no longer serve as independent critics. But if they are denied both a vote and a voice, then they can only return to the role of .passive consumers--or become social revolutionaries.

The initial projects consist of three additional floors for the library, a Science-Technology building to be called the Centennial Building, and a fieldhouse. The first evidence of work beginning will be the deactivating of the parking lot to the west of the University Centre. A count of cars parking on campus indi'cates that there will be sufficient parking area in the new lot to accommodate the displaced parkers. At the same tilne the road servicing that lot will be closed and all traffic will be forced to use the road which runs on the east side of the library. The three major projects will be serviced from a central Boiler House which will necessitate considerable underground development and will lead to a partial land- Schwartz Report Blasted scape programme. In view of the fact that the Centennial Building, with its power house, is such a large project it was decided to call tenders for a Management Contractor to act as an agent of the University for this project only. The successful bidder was Barnett-McQueen Co., Ltd. of the Lakehead. Their main duties will be scheduling, expediting, cost control, and gen~ral coordination of all the contractors who work on that building. It will be a five story structure with connection to the University Centre and will be located in the area west of the Centre. Tenders were calledand the contract let to BirdConstruction for the addition of three stories to the library building. Work on this project is to start immediately. Construction traffic will of necessity use the same road as all university traffic. The general contract fol the Athletic Building will be tendered on the 20th and con, struction should start abou the middle of March. It wil be located across the rivei to the west of the ptesen campus so the constructioJ traffic should cause littlt disruption. Mr. Claude Smith, Direc, tor of planning has calledfol the cooperation of all thE people on campus, includini the contractors, to bear witl the disorder which migh be caused.

M O to r • Mitchell pposition s reinstatement was spearheaded by AMS Chief Justice, Peter Rusak, and President Wayne Tocheri, who both brought to the attention of Council members the fact that Mitchell had missed eight of the fourteen AMS meetings. 'This is not a very enviable record,' said Tocheri. But Mitchell said he had good reason for his record of absenteeism. His 'reasonable reason' stemmed from the fact that he was forced to miss two meetings because of preparation for the Arts Folk Festival, three meetings to act as provisional head of the Housing Bureau, two meetings because of illness, and one meeting because of an accident. He MORLEY MITCH ELL added· that he had told Mr. Tocheri of the reasons for his missing the meetings. T ocheri then acknowledged that he had been warned of Mitchell's reasons, but that five of these explanations came on the day after the meetin~s. 'I don t see how::Mr. Mitchell can justify his position. I think it would be a very poor policy for councillors to set this situation as a precedent,' · said Mr . Tocher!.

ELECTION WRAP-UP SIJLPHBB GETS HIS reeommemlatw,u JI088M After a short three month delay, Council has finally passed Mr. Dave Sulpher's honoraria recommendations. At the meeting of the 27th, Council members passed the following recommendations: AMS President $ 300 AMS Treasurer $300 AMS Vice-President $225 AMS Secretary $175 Society Presidents $ 50 Yearbook Editor '67 $150 '68 $150 Argus Editor-in-chief $250 Argus Co-editors '67 $100 Chief Justice $ 75 C US Chairman - to be set by AMS Council at the end of his term in office AMS Councillors - AMS Cards Mr. Sulpher' s only comment on the AMS action towards his recommendations was, 'Table, table, table, that's all I ever heard!' Council members threw out a plea from the ARGUS for a payment of $200 for ARGUS staffers other than the editor - in - chief for next year. FLASH---AMS Council voted itself three hundred dollars for a THANK YOU AMS party at the end of this year. With 448 votes Peter Young was swept to a virtual landslide victory in voting for the AMS executive last week. Julie Wierzbicki picked up 236 votes, mostly from her home faculty of Arts. Doug Robson grabbed the Vice-Presidency by a respectable margin and Don Lees squeaked past Bill Weiler by 14 votes to take the Treasurership. Wendy Ticknor defeated Joan Stuart by more than 100 votes to clinch the position of Secretary. The percentage of students voting was well over 60%, a tremendous turnout in comparison to other campuses. About 70% of artsmen, over 50% of Science Students, 60% from University Schools, and 55% of the Diploma Nurses voted. . In the race for President, the candidates were fairly close after the ArtsScience-Commerce votes were in, with Young holding a lead of less than 100 votes. The University Schools and nurses, however, gave Mr. Young over threequarters of their votes to build his majority to over 200. Doug Robson held a consistent lead over his rival, Ted Walker, but surprisingly had a smaller margin in his own faculty than in Mr. Walker's. Voting for this position was significantly less than for the others. Only 659 of 7 41 voters made a choice for the position of Vice-President. By far the most exciting race was the contest ·between Lees and Weiler. When the Arts-Science-Commerce votes were in Mr. Weiler held a slim 21 vote lead. The University Schools vote swung the advantage to a 10 point lead for Lees and the Nurses extended this to 14. Miss Ticknor achieved strong majorities in every faculty but nursing where Joan Stuart, her opponent almost doubled Miss Ticknor' s score. All the winning candidates expressed satisfaction with the executive they will be working with and admitted that all the campaigns were hard-fought with no victories assured until the official announcement. ~~ If~\~~~ 1//1('. 0 ~ .a .~'"/~ ,e' _.A I Pres.

I think that a lot of them really try. It's not just the professor's fault - it is also the students' fault. Most students want teachers as a separate entity because that's the way they were brought up in high school. This is true especially with the first year students. But I think by the time you get into third year most of the students start relating to the profs. better. WAYNE AITKEN, Bus.Ad. II 1 No, I don't. I think there is a lot of room for improvement, both in the classrooms and in the cafeteria. Discussions should involve not only academic but social problems. MARY McVICAR, Arts II Communications between students and professors de.. pend partly on both. Some profs. are very interestedin the student and with them one can discuss certain problems. Others aren'tveryap.. proachable. Of course there· are students who don't care either. MARY REKSZYNSKI,Arts II No, not enough. Most of my professors get their ideas across qUite well in class, but discussions are rather formal. I don't know how you could encourage more informal communication but I think it would depend on both teacher and student . , meeting each other halfway. ICHARD BOZYNSKI, Sci- ence (Nur) I Yes, I 'would say that the professors as a general rule are communicating with the students; to my experience they are quite willing to help if requested. TOM GROULX, Ans II In the classrooms yes, the cafeteria one doesn• t see too much of them. But I would say that Lakehead University is still above the par because of its smaller size. �WPAGENINE POET ln tle dusk preceding darkness, black laces and brown suede shoes with open books and Russian music filling the air, aided by pipe smoke And empty walls covered by newspaper clippings of death to be laughed at Clocks with empty faces tell the time, and there is a cup with coffee dregs in the bottom There is only one light and even it is dim like the thoughts screwed up and thrown into the waste-basket And there is German here: So komme, was da kommen mag: So Lang du lebest, ist es Tag ... lch seh dein lie bes An gesicht, lch sehe die Schatten der Zukunft nicht. by Fiorito He looks a kindly grandfather, white sidewhiskers, wispy white hair, gentle manner.

ROMANUSSTARANZAK PENNY CONNOR ~ CLIJB Eight years ago the Lakehead Chess Club was founded on the premises of the Northwestern Ontario Regional Library. It led an adventuresome life moving to downtown Fort William in recent years. Last year the Club was reorganized in order that students on campus might enjoy chess also. The Club is run entirely by the students. The ·elected executive consists of: President-Romanus Staranzak, Vice President -- Rene Larson, Secretary- treasurer--Penny Connor and Counselor-Andy Sitarik. Dr. Tamblyn serves as honorary president while Prof. D.D. Sudar is trustee. If you feel you have that aggressive, fighting instinct drop by the chess tunnel and defeat a few friends. Even if you feel you lack that spirit drop by anyways, study the chess players there, and try to imitate their devil-maycare attitude. If you do not know how to play, be assured that learning is quick and easy. A ten ye?,r old can learn in ten minutes. It will of course take slightly longer for university students, say up to fifteen minutes. The Chess Club plans to have D.A. Yanafsky, the Canadian Chess Champion here, live and in person at the university on March 18, to play forty players simultaneously. Remember, happiness is winning a game of chess.

The seminar is part of the Second Century Week programme being held on the University of Alberta's Edmonton campus. 'Literature in the Second Century' is the theme of this unique five day seminar. It will mark the first time that Canada's foremost authors, poets, and critics will meet together with students to discuss themselves, their writings, and their country. A. W. Purdy, Earl Birney, and James Reaney are among the speakers participating. The girls will leave on March 6, accompanied by their faculty advisor, Mr. J. Brigham. A back door opened Saturday for the second time in two weeks for hockey's Alberta Golden Bears. The best scoring record in the west allowed the secondranked Bears to join basketball's Windsor Lancers and British Columbia Thunderbirds as teams named at the weekend to compete in the National Collegiate Championships March 5-11 at Olympiad •67 in Edmonton and Calgary. A 6-5 victory at home Saturday over Manitoba gave Alberta a first place tie with Saskatchewan in Westem Conference final standings. An 11 point advantage in points for-and-against gave Alberta its second straight league championship. Alberta failed Friday to win the title on points when they were dumped 6-3 bythe Bisons.

The top-rated team in hockey, Toronto Varsity Blues, were forced to close their regular season in Toronto Friday with a 4-4 tie against Montreal. Toronto won 14 and lost one of their other league games. The Blues, who seek a second straight national championship, will join Waterloo, Western Ontario and Queen's next weekend in Toronto to decide the OAA' s representative to Olympiad '67.

The lecture will be held in the University Theatre at 7:45 p.m. The public is invited. Lecture Series Chairman Dr. John Rideout expressed pleasure at being able to present Mr. Taylor at such a crucial time in the political development of China and India. Mr. Taylor is an expert on both countries and will discuss the recent elections in India and the major con- frontations in China during his lecture, drawing contrasts and comparisons between the two countries. Now a member of the Globe and Mail's editorial Board, Mr. Taylor travelled thruout India last November and December on special assignment. His comments appeared in atwo-partpre-election analysis in the Globe weekend section in February. Mr. Taylor was the Far Eastern Correspondent for the Globe from 1962 until 1965. Based in Hong Kong for the first 18 months, he covered China and also visited Japan, South Korea, the Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Cambodia, Laos and South Vietnam. He was then based in Peking for the last 18 months, as one of four resident' correspondents from the West and the only North American. He travelled widely in China, visiting Canton, Shanghai, Nanking, Hanchow, Tainan, Kunming, Taiyuan, Sian, Yenan, Anshan, Loyang, Shenyang, Changchun and Harbin.

The Cultural Revolution in North America is the major theme of the discussion group, which has been set up until the end of the year. Under the sponsorship of Mr. J.D. Harding of the Psychology department, the discussjons have been concerned with such concepts as freedom and change. The 'Revolution', Mr. Harding feels, is manifested by young people who are striving for a more meaningful existence in terms of human, rather than material values. If you decide to leave your cardplaying, or coffee cups, you will be welcomed with open arms. Arr,w, Poll JIM PURCELL PRESENTS CHEQUE to MR. ROY McKEE. Circle K On Thursday evening of March 2, the Lakehead University Circle K Club hosted an interclub dinner meeting in the Great Hall. The clubs involved were the Fort Wil11am - Port Arthur Kiwanis Club, Westfort Kiwanis Club, • Circle K from United College in Winnipeg, and the Lakehead University Circle K. Head table guests included President Tamblyn and Jack Evans, Kiwanis Lleute. nant Governor of Division I, Western Canada. Following • the business meeting which featured the presentation of a cheque from Lakehead U. Circle K to the Kiwanis Crippled Children Fund, Dean Kerr delivered an informative message pertaining to education. The evening was completed with a tour of the University. ----------- 8-Ballers Lead Clarkes Clippers defeated the Lakehead University Nor'Westers 65-62 Monday for theirfirstwinofthebestof-five final to determine the champion of the Thunder Bay Men's Senior Basketball League.

For the Clarkes, Dave Moshenko and Wayne Chuchmuch played strong games. SUMMER EMPLOYMENT Results of our employment poll indicate that students are more interested in their summer jobs than in their sex lives as returns were generally complete and sincere. Male degree students seem to earn more, and expect more than diploma students. They are, however, more susceptable to unemployment. Degree students averaged almost two jobs per summer but made considerably more than those in the diploma courses. The females, surprisingly, had less UJ:!employment problems but this was small consolation in that they earned very little in the way of coin. Unless they want to pick up a pick and shovel their situation is unlikely to change. The last question, concerning the establishment of a private student placement office which would be concerned only with summer jobs, prompted many comments. The majority of responses expressed satisfaction with the Manpower services on campus. It was pointed out however, that only about 15% of summer jobs last year ~ere -found through this office and that it must be more concerned with placing graduates than with temporary work. Here are the results: Male Female deg dip 1. How many weeks were you unemployed last summer? 2.3 2.4 2.0 How manyweeksdidyouwork? 114.2 14.2 14.0 2. What was your net income last summer?

Tom Kelly The Screamers Dear Sirs, It appears to me that at the beginning of the year, 'the AMS held elections for AMS councillors whom they felt would represent the students to the best of their ability. Apparently, as the year· proceeds, a lot of s~udents feel they are being taken for a ride. Well, that is their tough luck. The voting at the polls was less~ than 40% - a tremenrJous turnout on behalf of the 'SCREAMERS'. The ORCUS conference was the first issue, and now it is the $3,000 -folk singing tour that was passed at the last AMS meeting which is raising hell. Either we put in councillors who will represent you (the majority), and shut up, or scrap the whole AMS. If there were more students thinking, instead of bitching, we would have a better student union. YOU people pay the AMS fee, so how about smartening up next year and voting, instead of sitting back and grumbling to the newspaper and filling out petitions. Quality or Quantity? Dear Editors: In your last edition of the ever popular ARGUS, you did a splendid write-upon the Nursing Degree students. Much to our dismay we began to see the light, in that WE seem to be the neglected ones. You seem to place more stress on the degree students than you do on us. We too are nurses and darn good ones at that, but why have we been left out? You've placed THEM on a glittering pedestal for all to look up to and where are we? Right at the bottom-- the lowest of the low. Aren't we just as important as THEY are? Don't OUR uniforms rate? Or for that matter, aren't we just as professional, if not . more, than the degree students? Why, then, all the favouritism? Why haven'twe been recognized for our position and status in this university? We do realize that we are only part time students but does that make us all the more insignificant? Man was created equal and we feel as important as they are. Our pride has been dama~ed because we feel that you ve given the majority ·a raw deal. How about giving the plain old nursing students, outside of the degree course, some acclamation? We think it's about time you showed some interest in usll 11 THE OTHER NURSING STUDENTS Foreign Ownership INTHECAFEl'EIIIA by Bryan Springgay This week's ,question: Do you think that the AMS should The problem of foreign inspend up to $3000 to subsidize the planned tour of vestment is one of the most American campuses by the Lakehead University Folk complex issues ever to face Spectacular? the Canadian people.

Thus, the nation cannot rely upon them to pursue an aggressive and expansionist foreign trade policy which will create jobs and a rising standard of living for future Canadians. Even more important than the economic dangers Canada presently faces are the political ones. American subsidiaries are prevented from trading with Cuba and other nations which the U.S. government deems undesirable. There always exists the danger that direct economic pressure would be brought to bear to force Canada into pursuing a policy deemed vital by the U.S. in foreign affairs. The- Canadian government should therefore take legislative action to cut down present American influence, and to hinder future American control of Canadian industry. The government can do this by encouragingbonded investment (loans) rather than the present system of equity investment. Secondly, the Canadian government should undertake the training of Canadians for the eventual replacement of foreign management by Canadian management. • To discourage foreign industries presently in Canada the government shouldabandon her present policy of giving subsidies to some foreign companies. Canada should also impose the strictest possible guidelines on subsidiaries of foreign owned companies operating in Canada to make sure that they are not politically controlled by their owner's governments. ••••••••••••••••• Judy Glover, Arts I Why do they want to do that?

M.W. BARTLEY Lakehead University has launched the most ambitious fund campaign ever ventured in Northwestern Ontario •.. a $3,100,500appealforpublic support of their vital expansion program. Although the announcement was officially made Wednesday, Dr. M.W. Bartley, Chairman of the Board of Governors, said that the Development Fund Committee had been quietly working behind the scenes since last 1 fall on the organiZation of the campaign. General Chairman of the Development Fund is Robert J. Prettie, Honorary Chairman is the University s Chancellor, Senator the Honorable Norman M. Paterson. Dr. Bartley stressed that, although the campaign goal was a challengingfigure it represented less than 15% of the University• s overall $22,695,000 expansion program announced in November. Generous Provincial Govern~ent grants will provide six dollars for every one dollar raised by the campaign. The Government's share of the program will amount to $17,705,500, the largest single grant ever made to Northwestern Ontario. The remaining $1,890,000 will be through CMHC mortgages on the new residences which are only partly covered under the grant system. Dr. Bartley expressed pleasure in the appointment of Mr. Prettie, President of Northern Wood Preservers as General Chairman CUS REP. VISITS L.U. Mr. John Cleveland, Executive Member at Large of the Canadian Union of Students, visited Lakehead University last weekend as part of a fact-finding tour of Canadian campuses. In Conference with the new A.M.S. executive on Sunday he defined the Societies• role in C US and outlined the planned and proposed changes in the Union. The structure of CUS, said Mr. Cleveland, has been too much compartmentalized on the indiVidual campuses as the C US chairman and his committee are often removed from council, the official C US body. For this reason the national CUS executive is encouraging some councils to carry CUS responsibilities directly, with an internal committee, rather than an external appointive group representing the Union. He pointed out the difficulties and proVided the rationale for the political and sociological approach to student concerns as adopted by C US in recent years. The major problem has been the basic apolitical nature of many students who do not realize the tremendous lobbying force implicit in a body representing more than one hundred thousand students. Commenting on the trend toward pro- PETITION CIRCULATING A petition is presently being circulated asking that the AMS Board of Trustees reject the proposal of the Council to allot up to $3,000.00 to cover the expenses of the Lakehead University Folk Spectacular. In a recent Argus interview, the formulator of the petition, Mr. BryannSpringgay, of Arts 11, stated that •1n principle the idea is very good; but the $3,000 that the folk singers are requesting is a bit ridiculous considering the fact that only fifteen singers are involved and only four of them are attending Lakehead at the present time.• When asked how the recent letter to the editors written by Tom Kelly, the organizer of the folk singing group, would affect the number of signatures on the petition, Mr. Springgay asserted that Mr. Kelly was accusing him without cause, for misrepresentation of the facts. Springgay added •The facts presented in the preamble of the petition are all true and although they may be slightly slanted in one direction, the people who sign the petition are perfectly aware of what they are doing--there is no question of the facts being misrepresented.• At press time signatures totalled 322. vincialiZation in h.is organization Cleveland bemoaned the duplication which would be involved but could see the advantages. The recently-formed Ontario Union of Students (see page 4), for example, will have considerably more drag at Queen• s Park than the National Headquarters in Ottawa. Concerning the universities which have pulled out of CUS, Mr. Cieveland pointed out that of the four, only Alberta and Memorial are •big'" campuses and that very special situations exist at those universities. The upcoming referendums at UBC and U of T, said Mr. Cleveland, are not a pressing problem at this time considering the several months which CUS has to conVince those universities that they shouldn't pull out. Mr. Cleveland is returning to Ottawa in preparation for the International Student Conference in Scotland next month. CUS will be present only as an observer at the conference where 20 countries will be represented by about 100 delegates. Discussion will revolve around a reassessment of the student role in setting selection and accessability standards for universities. Mr. Cleveland's - expenses will be paid , by UNESCO. FOUR PAGES SOCIETY EXEC CHOSEN A 50% turn-out at the polls last Friday elected Pentti Paularinne as Arts President in a yes-no vote. Bill Weiler defeated J eanetty Gall for the position of Arts Vice-President, and Kathy Buie was the successful treasurer candidate, winning out over Chad Hannah and John Lee. The election for secretary of Mary Rekszynski was also a result of a yes-no vote. Less than 25% of University Schools turned out to elect their officers. Robert Yatkowsky was the successful presidential candidate, defeating Carole Storey. The Vice-Presidential election went to George Paddington, over Dave Sulpher. Nonominations were submitted for the position of treasurer, and in a yes-no vote Barbara Lone won the position of secretary. The ARGUS noted last week the lack of competition for positions in the Science Society executive. This situation did not change, and by acclamation its officers are: President, Roland Paradis; Vice-President, Don Bergman; Treasurer, Fred Poulter; Secretary, Donna Inouye. A THI.ETIC .A WARDS SYSTEM SCRAPPED The entire SAS athletic awards system was radically revamped at Monday's Athletic Council meeting. The schelT!e for naming award winners as outlined in the athletic handbook "'Olympus• handed out at the start of the year has been scrapped. Onlr four days before tonight s Trophy Dance it was decided that the old plan had not worked out and that the most deserving athletes had been put at an unfair disadvantage. Mr. W. Shannon, Athletic Coordinater, pointed out that only one of three inter-collegiate athletes who had won top honours over athletes from other universities, and who had led their teams to conference championships, were even represented in the top twenty point-getters according to the system then in effect.

For some reasons the Liberals aren't telling us. Perhaps they don•tknow. Are Canadian forces to perform only a peace-keeping role and have combat capacity limited to non-nuclear operations, or are the forces intended to have full combat capability not only for the direct defense of Canada, but in particular within the present strategy of the NATO and NORAD alliances? Now we have to decide if integration will work with both of these roles or just one. or even none of them. The idea of unification is to have the airforce working with the army delivering paratroopers to any part of the world, and the navy following up with the main supplies. This would suit the peace-keeping role for Canada very well, but what about the defence ol 20 million Canadians, and do we want Canada to have a peacekeeping role? Hellyer has stated four advantages of a single service. these being identity,careers., adaptability of change., and demands of modem warfare. He feels that with a common identity we will be recognized around the world, and the soldier, sailor, and airman will be moz:e loyal. This will mean the forces will have to give up loyalties to old regiments. Hellyer says that with unification careers will be wider, more challenging, and more rewarding. To prove or disprove this is difficult. He also feels that a unified force will provide flexibility to meet challenging requirements in defense organization, made necessary by advances in military technology. Finally, an integrated force will make faster decisions needed in modern warfare. But are swifter decisions right decisions? Actually one cannot be too critical of the advantages which Hellyer has attributed to his plan, except to ask if they are important enough to make radical changes in Canada's armed forces necessary. The unification of Canada•s armed forces is a serious matter., and should not be taken lightly. This bill is causing much bitterness in Ottawa, and it should not be pushed through the House of Commons. The best thing the Liberals could do is to call an end to this session, to cool off angry heads, and to slow down the process of unification until it can be very thoroughly examined.

Radio personalities, along with certain members of our elite local high schools have condemned the ARGUS as this University's answer to HUSH and MIDNIGHT (not to mention The READER'S DIGEST); and so_ it ~as come about that one high school has asked this editor not to bring the newspaper to his school and it has passed that certain members of this community have confused the ARGUS as being an administration publi.cation. And therefore the ARGUS has experienced some trying moments. But before we continue, we must add that this editorial is not an apology to the administration for the infinitesmal harm we have done. And we are sure that the administration would not want an apology or even expect one. We as editors must be ready to print something in which we believe and then expect deluge. It is our duty to the students of this community. The actual reason for this editorial is one of clearing up a few misconceptions. First of all, we are not the administration newspaper. We are the supposed voice of the student. And as such we have to expect to rub the administration and the two cities the wrong way sometimes. But once again we are not the administration newspaper. The opinions we express are those of the editorial board. And since they are our opinions we think it ridiculous that the administration should suffer because of our stating them. Secondly, another fact must be cleared up in this editorial. Citizens of this university and of the two cities have been disturbed to see that the ARGUS actually carries some sex and socialism in it, and as such should be publicly and universally condemned. Great Scott, when will you learn that a student newspaper role is that resembling a Hyde Park soapbox? If someone has something to say that we think is legitimate, we will print it. Yes, Virginia, some people have something to say about sex, Cohen and Ginsberg, and Marx. And we' re not goin~ to stop them .... and pretend that these things just don t • exist...... Believe it or not they do. Perhaps it is our fault in a way too. We might just have gone too far, too fast. We still have to remember that this university is only a few years old. And perhaps the Lakehead is not ready for something that has been happening all across Canada for the last twenty years in other student papers. And perhaps we haven't realized this fact as we should have. For this we will apologize .. Thirdly., there has been some comment on our sending the ARGUS to local high schools. Cries of protest from parent and teacher have made their way to this paper. And it appears that their kids Just aren't ready for the rigours of student newspaper. This we find difficult to believe. Let's face it. Supposedly this paper is given only to the Grade 13's who probably will be going to college ·next year. If they aren't ready for this now., they never will be. Why should they have to be protected? If they have any kind of upbringing at all they should be able to make up their own mind concerning whether LSD is what they want or not or whether they join the NOP or not. And if you still don't trust us, one word of warning. Don't send your kid to the University of Western Ontario. Those unmentionables run nude shots every week in the paper. II Something- they haven't done anything yet. There's nottoo much to say. What can they do? Unless they're dishing out money they' re no help to me. Judy Francis, Arts I I'm satisfied with what CUS is doing right now. I Ron Simons, Forestry Who? CUS? Is that what you want? I think they should give us discounts since we' re really poor and we need all the money we can get cause Foresters don't make very much money in the summer. II What's CUS? When I was on Council last year they made a big fuss about bringing CUS in here, but &o far this year I haven't heard anything about what they've done. It looks like nothing came from all that trouble. There should be more action in the administration on the students' behalf, instead of travel posters. Dave Parsons, Arts Karen Nielson, Nursing I They should introduce travel plans for Nursing students. If they worked their discounts on the same lines that the Nurses did they might get a better deal. They should also make people realize this is a University town., now. Dan Murphy, Forestry II I think they should make themselves better known so that we can see what they' re supposed to be doini. The average studentdoesn tknow what to expect from a11 organiZation like this. They should advertise themselves better.

Dr. Tamblyn has made this statement in justifying the tuition hikes announced earlier this month. The fee increases of $50 for Degree courses and $70 for Diploma courses are now definite following ratification by the Board of Governors earlier in the month. Dr. Tamblyn was quick to point out that this new fee structure is still among the most reasonable in the province. "Generally, he .stated, the smaller universities all have tuition fees considerably higher than those here at Lakehead. • The following is a detailed breakdown of the student fee increases, and includes all compulsory payments for a total comparison.

ATTACKS ADMINISTRATION The University Committee Meeting of last Friday saw a blow-up of un-precedented proportions between the Administration and AMS representatives. Fuelled by real or imagined grievances against administration high-handedness; prompted by counsel from last year's student representatives to that committee; and determined to make a strong impact at their first official meeting, Peter Young, AMS President, and Don Lees, Treasurer, teed off against President Tamblyn, Dean Kerr, Director of Finance David Morgan, and Director of Planning Claude Smith. They took the administration entirely off-guard by presenting a series ofharangues against University policy to the surprise, and at times amusement, of the officials present. The President became .annoyed and disturbed at several points and Mr. Morgan appeared barely able to suppress laughter at what was later termed ill-prepared and ill-considered criticism directed toward the University. The University Committee is a grouprepresenting the student government, the faculty, and the administration. Its area of responsibility is undefined, but its existence is a unique experiment in student involvement in major policy-making decisions. Mr. Young and Mr. Lees of the AMS had prepared for the attack after being incensed by what they considered a paternal approach when they received, without consultation, an announcement of meeting, and an agenda, not from the official secretary of the committee, David Morgan, but from Dean Kerr. The agenda included what they considered to be topics towards which they would have to take a defensive stance, particularly the.ir requests for subsidies for several student programmes. They promptly had a new and official agenda prepared, including a number of topics which they thought would place them in a less protective position. These topics included rumours that 80% of second year Science students had failed, that the registrar's office had juggled lists of graduates and had unnecessarily interfered in· plans for the graduation weekend, and that the administration had ignored its own directives by hiring students because of their elective positions, despite the fact that they had failed and, therefore, would have to forfeit those positionlh The business began with Mr. Young pointing out an error in the agenda. He said that 'science fee' as listed should read 'Science fiasco' as requested by himse If when the agenda was being prepared. Thus the tone of the meeting was set. Items submitted by the administration were superceded for two hours by attacks from Messrs. Young and Lees.

About fifty percent of the damages claimed against the caution fees _last year were to cover lab breakage. Dr. Tamblyn stressed the fact that increased tuition was the only option open to the University in light of the new formula of University subsidies as adopted by the Provincial Government. Total grants to universities are up this year but those to Lakehead are insufficient •to allow for a tuition freeze. The formula provides no 1967-68 $550 (Arts) $560 (Science) $400 consideration for the relative isolation of this University and the attendant higher operational costs. Dr. Tamblyn said that he has 'been trying to impress this fact on the government for some time, but has not yet been successful'. Another factor here is that University Schools are subsidized on a per capita basis to the same amount as the University students, this amount being less than subsidies at strictly technological institutions. Dr. Tamblyn further stated that facilities offered here per student are easily on a par with those at similar institutions and that the only short- increase $60 $70 $90 coming, that being the lack of adequate athletic facilities, will be removed with completion of the Athletic Field House. Academic standards, he said, are similar to those of other universities. We also boast a University Centre Students' building, a luxury not offered at many newer universities. The Ql&in reason for higher tuition here and at other smaller universities is the relatively low enrolment. The fee increase will not have any adverse affect on enrolment, according to Dr. Tamblyn. He pointed out that a great deal more money would be available to students next year from the Students Awards Plan. GRADUATION BALL: See page fou, fr,r details and more pictures �l I'.

Why did you come to L.U .? A. I flunked out at Queen's); some frustration (Q. Did you pass? A. Of course not. I'm in Science.); and a big chunk of disappointment at what goes on at this supposedly intellectual institute of higher learning_ by Rod Phillips Throw it all together and you get - MAD. If there is ever to be an issue causing vocal discontent it will be this tuition hike. It's not only up; but way up. Now we will be paying as much to enrol here as at any other university in the province. Sure the budget must balance Sure the new grant structure forces this university to charge as much tuition as any other. Sure there is more loan money available. BUT, This is in the sixties. Tuition has been wiped out at Memorial. The Canadian Union of Students has named ''free tuition'' as a pri~rity item. Students threatened to strike at U.B.C. if tuition was raised. ALSO, There'.s no w~y anyone can say that this university offers as much in the way of facilities as the big ones down east. Last year investment per student here was about 60% of the provincial average. The ratio will be worse until a large part of the expansion programme is completed. .,_ Fine, now everybody has something to bitch ~bout; but before we go on strike, or burn crosses on the President's lawn; lets try to pin the blame. . As President Tamblyn stated (page one), he had no choice. This is true. As long as the Provincial Government thinks that all Universities are precisely the same and that their grants can be nicely figured out in terms of a simple formula, Lakehead University will remain out in the bush. The Department of University Affairs has, apparently for convenience rather than any other reason, lumped Lake;head in with the big, old, and well-endowed universities like Toronto and Western. They have dictated that if tuitions are not at or near a certain level, they will cut do~ their amouat of grant. This is only another example of the bureaucratic muddle issued from Bill Davis' Education Ministry. The best we can do is hope that University administrators, particularly here at Lakehead University, can raise as much of a stink over this ludicroas policy as students raised last year in a successful attempt to get the Student Awards Plan revamped. 0 lflUIIIIIHIIUUUIIIHHUtfflftllUIIJIIUIIIU&IIIUDHIIIIUUIIUltUUUNIIIIIIIHHIIIHIHIIIIIUIIIIUIIUIIUHUIIIIIUUUIIJUllhUUllhlllotuU::I May is, 1967, Volume 1, No. xvn, Port Arthur , The ARGUS is published regularly during the vacation period: ~ ; and weekly during the summer School period by the Alma Mater ~ Society of Lakehead University.

The avowed purpose of the Tribunal, initiated by the famous British philosoLord Bertrand Russell, is to determine: If the governments of the United States, Australia, New Zealand, and South Korea, have committed acts of aggression according to international law. If the U.S. military forces have used, or experimented with, weapons forbidden by the laws of war (such as gas, special chemical products, napalm, etc.) If there has been bombardment of civilian targets--hospitals, schools, sanatoria, dams, etc., and if so, on what scale this has occurred. If Vietnamese prisoners of war have been subjected to treatment forbidden by the laws of war, and if there have been unjustified resprisals against the civilian population. If forced labour camps have been created, or if there has been deportation of the population, or other acts tending to the extermination of the population and which can be construed as acts of genocide. If the Tribunal decides that one, or all, of these crimes have been committed, it will be up to the Tribunal to decide who bears responsibility for them. The National Liberation Front of south Vietnam and government of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam have indicated their willingness to co-operate, as has the Cambodian Head of State, Prince Sihanouk. The government of the United States has been invited to present evidence and to state its case. The purpose of the Tribunal , is to establish, without fear or favour, the truth about this war. Now, many questions may be, and, indeed, have been, asked about the validity of .the Tribun'al. I intend to answer the three main questions below: Question: Is not the Tribunal a mere parody of justice? It is composed of personalities who are partisan, hostile to U.S. policy, and whose verdict is known in advance. Answer: The; question before the Tribunal is not to juage U.S. policy in Vietnam -- a policy opposed by the membe,s of the Tribunal -- but to see whether it falls within the provisions of international legislation on "iwar crimes." There is a profound difference in criticising a policy to which one might be totally opposed, and calling the policy "criminal" in a juridicjal sense. Question: Since it is law the Tribunal is invoking, by what law does the Tribunal set itself up as judge? Answer: The question before the Tribunal is not to condemn anyone to an ordinary, commonplace punishment. It cannot, for example, condemn President Johnson to death. The goal is to study all available existing documents on the war in Vietnam, to call in witnesses -- Vietnamese and American -- and t~ determine in soul and conscience whether certain acts fall within the provisions of the international laws mentioned above. The Tribunal will invent no new legislation, but may name, for example, certain acts as violations of certain international laws, and name certain persons. as responsible for the acts. It .will pomt out that if a real international Tribunal existed, wha·t the punishment of the crimes would be, in virtue of the laws . passed at Nuremberg, for example. The Tribunal therefore, is giving a juridical di~ension to acts of international policy, rather than pass only practical and moral judgements on :the conduct of the war. Question: War crimes are co~mitted by both sides in the war. Why does the Tribunal not judge the Vietnamese at the same time as the Americans? Answer: The Tribunal refuses to place on the same plane the actions of a group of poor peasants, obl,iged to enforce iron discipline rule in their ranks, and those of an immense army sustained by a super-industrialized nation. It is not the Vietnamese who have invaded America. There is no parallel between the terrorism of the bomb -- the sole arm at the disposal of the Vietnamese -- and the actions of a rich army of five hundred thousand men occupying and bombing the whole country. Those are probably the questions causing most scepticism in the minds of m~y people concerning the War Crimes Tribunal. The scepticism and doubt as to the Tribunal's validity are unfounded, however, as an examination of the nature of the Tribunal shows. The Tribunal has carried out meticulous on-the-spot investigatioQ and examination of evidence, and it will be well worth while to watch the results of the Tribunal's hearings. They should do uuch to expose the true nature of U.S. aggression in Vietnam. 11111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111•111111111111111 FIRST EVALUATION PLAN STARTED The Alma Mater Society, in cooperation with the A,RGUS bas instituted the first course evaluation program to be attempted at Lakehead. The purpose is to provide new students with a comprehensive summary of former student reaction to every course and their evaluation of the merits of the course lecturers.

ATTACKS (con'd from page one) The first major blow-up came when Peter Young demanded comment on the very high failure rate in Science courses. He· queried the administration on whether it was • stupid' students or ~ome other factor which caused such a high rate of ~ailure. Dr. Tamblyn replied that he and his colleagues were also deeply concerned and, as one example, pointed out that many Science faculty members were disappointed that their students refused to ~pply themselves seriously. In rebuttal, Young and Lees charged that the high proportion of Science lecturers who had instructed previously at English universities seemed to expect far too much from their students here. The next complaint brought for~ard by the AMS involved rumours that lists of graduates had been posted, removed and juggled, then re-posted last week, Young and Lees contended that such irregularities were inexcusable, consideriqg their importance to potential graduates. Dr. Tamblyn jl.llswered that 'there was some misunderstanding of the ne.ces sary' number of credits', and that the senate approved names of graduates without being fully aware of credit requirements. As a result, he said, he had a list of graduates removed from the registrar's office bulletin board on Thursday, May 4;' for review. The final list, as posted the next Tuesday,had, according to his recollection at the time of the meeting, only one change. The next complaint put forward f?y the AMS involved what Peter Young considered arbittrary and unnecessary action by the.registrar in informing, in a casual and high-handed manner, an elected member of a student organization, not only that he had failed; but, as stated by Mr. Young, that he would have to resign his student position. The AMS President's complaint was that the Registrar had rather presumptiously taken on a responsibility that he himself should have! been given -- that of informing a member of one of his AMS sub-organizations that· he must, resign his position. Dr. Tamblyn and Dean Kerr stated that the complaint was well taken but that it was reasonable to consider this action as 'standard registrar'~ duty' in light of the fact that academic standard requirements for elected student officials were set by the Senate as well as by the AMS. The question of Science failure rate was brought up again in response to further questioning and President Tamblyn indicated that special admissions to those without required High School credits would have to be studied more carefully. He said that a high proportion of these students had done poorly. Young and Lees proceeded to attack the administration on inadequate counselling procedures but suggested no realistic alternatives. Dr. Tamblyn asserted that provisions made for counselling at Lakehead were certainly not as inadequate as to warrant the criticism to which they were being subjected. He further stated that the discrepency between failure . rates in Arts and Science was •tiypical.' ~- ·_-~--- --.-._. ----~:;;·::-:.~:-' - :~~-:. ~ ;:::s~~:~~~t-:;:-~:;-~;;.:::~~-:- ~:~:~:-~;.;~. ,~-? -~~:-:-:: -. - DRAWING OF THE CENTENNIALBUILDING PRESENTLY UNDER CONSTRUCTION house which the University could perhaps do without.

DEVELOPMENT FUND HITS $2,250,000 MARK released Wednesday the artists conception of the new Centennial Building presently under. construction. The five storey structure represents $14,000,000 in building costs and scientific equipment. Architects Fairfield and Dubois of Toronto who also designed the Ontar.to Pavilion at Expo 67, have created a 'lJ' shaped building on the shores of the man-made lake. It will be larger than all the present campus buildings combined. containing some 250,000 square feet. It will be highlighted by a courtyard or agora entrance which is planned to become the meeting place of the university. The building will house science technology and arts program classrooms, administration offices and three lecture auditoriums each with a seating capacity of 350. A large 750 seat lecture auditorium is also included for the building complex. It will be situated right behind the present University Theatre: CO-OP HOUSING- AN -ANALYSIS The • word •',co-operative'' may suggest different things to different people--co-operati ve stores, co-operative bookshops, co-operative theatres, and so on. But the type of co-operative of greatest interest to students these days is co-operative housing. Campus co-ops grew in strength and importance during 1966, and are expected to do so to even greater degfe-es during 1967. Physically, a co-operative is the same as a university residence -- it provides board and lodging for •students. But at this . point the similarity ends. For whereas in a university residence the students pay a specified sum and receive specified services food, maid service, and so on -- and are required to comply with certain rules as set down by the 'administration oo campus, a co-operative: is much different. The essential difference is. that while a university resi. dence is owned and operated by university authorities, a co-operative is owned and operated by the students who live in the co-operative. There may be a parallel in the difference between living in someone else's house and living in your own. In this fact -- that the students operate their own housing -- lies one of the main purposes of a co-operative. In this situation, in which students take responsibility for a part of their environment, students learn to be involved and active in the surroundings in which they live -- not only the co-operative, their immediate environment, but also involved and active in their wider surroundings -- the university community in general. The involvement of co-operative in local decision-making prepares them to accept responsibility for decision making in society. The other important purpose of the cb-operative of course, is to provide an urgently-needed housing service -- an alternative to residence and boarding houses. by Rod Phillips There is a great deal of discussion as to whether co-operatives are a means to an end, or an end in themselves. The answer lies with the individual's decision as to which of the main purposes is of prime importance: is the main purpose of a co-operative to provide housing, .or is it to provide an opportunity to exercise responsibility on one's environment? It seems to me that the answer is a combination of both possibilities; that co-operatives are an end to an end. The student co-operative housing movement is part of a larger co-operative movement across the country. Many people are not aware of the size and scope of coopecatives in Canada, but some statistics may indicate their growing importance. In 1966 the membership of credit cooperatives reached 3.8 milliaa, an increase of eight percent over the previous year; in 1964, the latest year for which statistics are available, the cooperatives covered by the re- port issued by the co-operatives section, economics branch, Canada Department of Agriculture, had a total business volume of $1.85 billion. And campus co-operatives grew tremend~usly. Highlights are: Rochdale College at the University of Toronto. This is by far the largest project ever undertaken by university students. To be completed in 1968 it is costing $5 million and is to house 470 students. Co-operative College Residence was founded at Saskatchewan. Sponsored by existing co-operative, it has big plans to provide co-operative housing for Regina students. Saskatchewan saw its first major co-operative housing project get under way with the No. 1 phase of the Lanigan Housing Association in June. The Canadian Union of Students, with support from several central co-operatives has been able to put a full-time fie ldman at work organizing student's co-operatives. : Ht: has travelled to many parts of Cana~ to discuss with students the possibilities of establishing co-operative housing projects in their areas. There have been suggestions that co-operative housing be established at the Lakehead to provide for the needs of students. Thu~ it would not only alleviate the housing problem, but would, as pointed out above, provide students with the unique opportunity to get involved actively in the decision-making processes of thei~ environments. The possibility of establishing such a co-operative here is a very real one, and will be studied further. We must have, however, the 'desire on the part of sufficient numbers of students to establish a cooperative and the will on their part to make it real. It would be much appreciated if students who are interested in this project would contact - personally, by phone, ma'il, however they like - the C.U.S. office on campus. .. �THE ARGUS;; PAGE FOUR • MAY 19, l.967 • I: - Folk Song Enthusiasts by Chad Hannah Over Friday and Saturday, the 12th and 13th of May, of the week-end past the Graduatio_n Ceremonies of Lakehead Un1versity were formally held. On the Friday evening the Bacca~aureats Service was held ID the University Centre Theater following a Faculty reception for guests and graduates in• the Yenior Lounge. The main address was given by Harry D. Elmslie, Assistant Professor of Business Administration. The following day at 2:00 p.m. at the Coliseum in Fort William the Convocation Cerell)onies took place with the conferring of Degrees and Diplomas and the presentation of Medals and Awards. By the scheduled time there was 'standing-room' only in the hall. The graduates, members of faculty, and other dignitaries entered and the Convocation was declared open by the Chancellor, Senator Norman Patetson. After remarks by the President, Dr. Tamblyn, • the Convocation address w.as delivered by Dr. John E. Leddy, Vice-Chancellor and President of the University of Windsor. Diplomas and Degrees were then conferred upon the 190 graduates, and this was followed by the presentation of medals. Winners of these awards were: The Governor General's Medal, Tuire Nordin; Chancellor's MedaJ, John J. Mclelland (highest ranking full-time student); Chancellor's Medal, P. Gregg Yurick (highest ranking part-time student); Dr. Braun's Medal (Bus. Admin.) Terence E. Ey.ton; Dr. Braun's Medal (Engineering Tech.), Douglas I. Mercer; Dr. Braun's Medal (Forest Tech.), Brian J. Moore, Dr. Braun's Medal (Min-, ing Tech.), Micheal J. Tapics; Prizes of the Ambassador of Switzerland to Canada, Lily C. Blin (French) and Ade A.

Hider; President's Medals, Colleen Cupples, Gerry Hashiguichi, Ronald Hider, Tom McLeod, Mat Wilson, Chuck Sameluk, Wayne Tocheri, Dawn Brounlee, Peter Rusak and Joe St. Amand. The Convocation was then closed by the Chancellor, and a· reception was then held in the Auditorium at Exhibition Park. The formal Graduates Banquet and Ball was held in the Great Hall at 7:00 p.m. and was preceded by a . social hour for the 300 graduates and guests in the Senior Lounge. The principal speaker for the banquet was Dr. J .G. Rideout, who gave a most interesting and enjoyable speech dealing with his own experiences while lecturing in the United Sta!es and now in Canada. Following the dinner, the ball proper was declared open and continued amidst general revelry as could be expected for such a happy occasion. The ball ended at 2:00 a.m. after what had been a most enjoyable evenin8. In summarizing th1s ytars graduating class, the Faculty of Arts graduated 119 students, 34 more grads than the class of 1966. The honours class includes six first class standings from a total of 15 graduates, and the Faculty of Science presented 15 graduates this year as well. In addition, from a total graduating class of 190, there were 33 first class standings. Macdonald College of McGill Unive·rsity, in Ste. Anne de ..:Jellevue, Quebec, will be holding its fourth annual Folk Festival, October 13 and 14, 1967. One entry per College or Univetsity is permitted. The entry may be male or female, from one to four students including accompanists, and attending the College or University the fall of 1967, Each entry is asked to prepare two numbers or a fifteen minute programme including an introduction of his own songs. An entry fee of five dollars must be sent with the applica-. tion which will be returned on arrival at Macdonald College. FACULTY RECEPTION CAUTION FEES SCRAPPED DR, LEDDY ADDRESSING THE CONVOCATION CO-OP HOUSING RON HIDER POULIN AWARD WINNER Mr. Rod Phillips, CUS CoChairman, has been hired by the AMS for a six week period for the purposes of exploring the possibilities, and perhaps establishing, a cooperative housing organization at Lakehead University. He feels that with the inadequate residence facilities availaple here, and with the great success of the co-op idea at other centres, that the establishment of such a project would be a definite benefit to the University. GRADUATE BALL * ** It will be interesting to note whether the Registrar's Office carries through its threat to withhold marks until library fines are paid. The legal implications alone should be fascinating if a student decides to demand his results. FUR TRADERS RENDEZVOUS Ever tasted beaver meat? Beaver meat will be the featured dish at the 'Fur-Traders Rendezvous', the Friends of the Lakehead University Library's Centennial Dinner, June 131and 14. The Buffet ~tyle dinner will cost $3.00, with proceeds going towards the purchase of rare books for the University Library. • The Dinner will be held in the Great Hall, which will be decked out to resemble the original Fon William in its days as a Fur Trader's Rendezvous. Stuffed birds and animals will lend atmosphere to the ~ecoraations, as will the aroma of the cooking Beaver. Jack McKurdy, co-chairman of the Dinner, will supervize the culinary activity on the Beaver. For those who wish something less exotic in the way of food, barbequed beef and fowl will also be available. Desert will be boxes of candied fruit and ginger. .

So, in keeping with the setting, the Ramblers will provide music of a folk variety, while a dancer will do a jig (go-go) during the meal. In the past, the Friends of the Library have acquired some very rare books for the Library. including the MacKenzie Voyages, published in 1801. This gem cost the Friends S500. Tickets for the Dinner may be obtained from Mr. Gude, Cafeteria Manager, or from the Library desk. Caution fees have been eliminated for next year. How, ever, a 'Lab fee' of $10 is to be collected from students who take more than one Science lab per year. President Tamblyn has stated that caution fees have been eliminated for several reasons. Firstly, 'it is always difficult to assess accidents against students.' And secondly, 'the idea of a caution fee is never popular with the student.' Above all, it involved a good deal of work for the Accounts Office to collect, compute and' return. Thus the University Committee has ratified the President's decision to scrap it. The residence caution fee will remain the same, Dr. Tamblyn added. As to the question of the collection of a 'L.ab fee', the President stated that 'it is not a caution fee but an added levy collected from students who use the labs.' Play It Fashion Cool .

He clawed voraciously at his petit dejeuner of poached eggs (freshly stolen) and chocolate pudding as his birdlike mother hove~d over him like a a bird hovering over its young. Through the open window he could faintly hear the willowy, coldly efficient nurses of the nearby hospital humming their theme, 'Some Day My Prince Will Come.' His masochistic desire compelled him to continue reading the editorial page of the local paper while his mother persisted to annoy him by clicking her false teeth and breathinir wheezily.

P -~ Tomorrow is Cancelled. Yours truly, God G/st.p heh- heh �THE ARGUS PAGE SIX SEPTEMBER Freshies wandered around lost and the entire student body was totally exhausted after standing in endless queus at that foolish abortion they called registration. Evenings were a linle different. Although no one really knew what was going on, the orientation week activities effectively introduced new LU'ers to the major preoccupations of the institution. Booze, broads, and fun effect· ively pre-empted anything re· motely academic and the tone for another year was set. Dances, scavenger hunts, wiener roasts and other assorted orgies and drunks filled the time between reunions at the Crest. showing at the St. Paul regatta. October closed with the Circle K bash "Slack is Black," a monstrous success. NOVEMBER Big news for nobody in N~vember was the appointment of Colbome and Marks to save the then-dying ARGUS. (Readers can comment on this little goody themselves.)

The resignation of Bob Campbell as CUS chairman woke a few people on campus up to the fact that such as organization existed and perhaps prompted a few effectual people to get involved next year. Plans are underway for the first Model Parliament when the AMS consented to give a little mon· ey to those dirty politicians. The ARGUS got into all kinds of trouble for printing what some called "Jattine lyrics" .

But Tocheri stayed. This was about the time our leader:i were given the humble sum of $25 .00 to be passed on to some needy student. Could it have been a reflection upon how representative that council was that they coulm't find a single person who was short of money? Meanwhile some people here were doing something real. Simon Hoad and Bill Sheridan made an excellent showing at the Centennial debating tournament despite the only practice they had was in the cafeteria. Some people got together and formed a local chapter of SUPA but it too was never heard from. The big January scene was, of course, Carnival Week. The foresters' Woodchopper's Ball was the original horror show with more booze and battered bodies than has been seen at Lakehead both before and after. Rob Gerry, late entry and nursing nominee was crowned King Carnival and spent Saturday escorting Miss Canada around the campus and protecting her that night at the dance and at the parties afterward. The rolling drunk they called a parade was by far the best combined effort of the entire week according to everyone who saw it (and not the trail of bottles along its route). Arts took the sculpture contest with its centennial train theme and also first prize for best float featuring the Arts que~n candidate Sharon Woods. The torchlight parade -and tubing party on Tuesday night were other fine examples of qon-couth at its best. Slave day was probably the best allaround day of the year as more imagination was exercised in ' sadistic abuse than all year in any lecture or seminar. The pie-eating contest was right out of the zoo and its remnants kept the janitors at work (and out of our hair) for five hours. Thursday was sports day, organized and administered by the SAS.

We even had a minor spy scare when it was revealed that CUS had been subsidized by the CIA and a few people were runn ing around campus trying to root out a few undercover Mounties to claim as our own. Despite the fact that it almost invariably runs ridiculous surpluses, the AMS voted to raise its fees $5.00 for next year and to levie a compulsory fee on summer school students. Council made almost its only farsighted decision of the year when, by default more than anything else, it voted narrowly to consider political club budgets in the future. The ARGUS added to its noteriety by being mentioned in Time Magazine as part of a quaint little write-up on LU. A Board of Trustees was set up by the AMS to look after all those surplus funds which treasurer Hider and his forerunners had so successfully hoarded.

APRIL "' FEBRUARY MARCH Elections for Model Parliament were held at the start of February with the Liberals walking off with an unexpected majority.

But while students remain basically the same, in that they are students and somewhat different from the rest of society, the issues they choose to become involved in, or to ignore as the case may be, have changed. This year was no exception. This was the year of The Pill, LSD, potheads, protest marches and draft dodgers. This was a year of student awareness and involvement, for never before have students appeared to know so much, or care so much, about where they are going and why. This was, and still is, the year of Canada's Centennial celebrations, of Second Century Week, of travelling lecturers, musicians and poets. It was als'o the year of ,Canadian Union of Students dropouts, infiltration of student organizations by one of the world's largest espionage agencies, demands for student representation on boards of governors and senates, and requests for open decision-making in universities. • A year to remember--at least for those directly involved in events which often threatened to blow the cool of stodgy, traditional institutions and pedagogues across the country. The first indication of the things to come occurred at the CUS Congress in Halifax fast September. And before the year was over, student activists had carried the ideas and resolutions born at the Congress clear across Canada--from the Atlantic to the Pacific, from Dalhousie University to the University of British Columbia. The struggle for universal accessibility to higher education, launched at the Lennoxville congress in September, 1965, was on again. Delegates decided to ask for more financial assistance than ever before, to try to wipe out social and financial barriers to post-secondary education, to ask for student stipends and the abolition. of tuition fees. They • took the resolutions back to their campuses for acceptance or rejection by the student masses. CUS education policy met its first big test at the University of Waterloo when the students' council there rejected free tuition and student stipends. The students themselves tended to support council's stand in a campus-wide referendum in which they voted to reject abolition of tuition fees. But they did come out in favor of student salaries. While Waterloo students were waffling on the student stipend fee abolition question, their counterparts at the University of Toronto and Ry.erson Poly- technical lnstinite were marching on the Ontario legislature to protest the controversial provincial student awards program. The students succeeded in pleading th•eir case, and the changes they called for have been submitted by a special committee for consideration by Ontario's education minister. But whether students voted, marched or remained in their stagnant pools of apathy, some were at least dimly aware of what CUS is and what it is trying to do. Some campuses .carried things a step further and reviewed their position in the national student union. The re-· i;ult of this critical examination was, in some cases, withdrawal. Four campuses had withdrawn from union at the September congress. By February, four more had followed. The first to opt out was the University of Alberta, led by council president BrannySchepaoovich. Schepanovicli claimed CUS was over-extending itself-becoming too concerned with international issues instead of concentrating on effectively representing Joe Student. Io the months that followed, Bishop's University withdrew over the same basic ideological difference as U of A. Bishop's students did not feel, as did CUS President Doug Ward, that students had a responsibility to become involved in sodety's problems through political stands taken by CUS. St. Dunstan's University was next. And when McGill withdrew to join !'Union Generalc des Etudiants du Quebec, CUS lost its lastfoothold in Quebec. As Ward said after U of A's withdrawal, CUS had truly become "a smaller and a tighter union." CUS' s problems are no.t yet over. Although It survived the recent Central Intelligence Agency scandal virtually unscathed, it still faces a major communit;ations problem. But while CUS is gradually losing its place in the limelight, this winter other issues have gained front-page coverage in campus newspapers. Student representation o·n policy-making university bodies has become one of the year's major causes. Students across the country are agitating for participation in university affairs and open decision making. At the University of Calgary they succeeded in gaining three seats on the general faculty council. But at the University of Western Ontario and institutions like it across the country, students are still lobbying for a voice in university affairs. All the Western campuses are working for coveted seats on various administrative boards, as are their Ontario counterparts. Not too much has been heard from Quebec or the Maritimes, but the representation-participation fever should" infect students there before long. *ti ,n , HOMEO' K•n!!!~k11 ffi!d C~!e!•• HOME DELIVERY or PICKUP John St DI 4-3506 N.

Students dropped out, an unprecedented number of campus newspaper editors resigned, and two university presidents resigned w-ithin a week of each other. Sex made a bigger splash than ever before. Even the most naive, innocent and inexperienced freshman in Canada has no excuse for being ignorant of a wonderful, fool-proof invention called simply "11:he pill"--unless he pleads illiteracy. Stories about sex and birth control were bigger and better researched than ever before. Editors went right to the source for their stories. And features appeared about a University of Western Ontario co-ed's abortion, about a U of T student's reasons for taking the pill and sleeping with her boyfriend. Health services officials were criticized for their refusal to dispense birth control pills to unmarried co-eds. Yes, sex wa~ bigger and bolder than ever before as the New Morality got into fullswing. Computers even got in on the act, and almost every large campus boasts a _computer dating centre, Student housing has always been an issue among university students. ,If they aren't cpmplaining about Victorian restrictions imposed on women residents, they're protesting about imminent fee increases. This year they took a new approach. Instead of assailing the deaf ears of housing directors with loud, ineffective wails, students decided to take matters into their own hands in an attempt to alleviate housing shortages. They began to turn towards co-operative housing--that old boon to financially embarrassed students--as one of the most feasible solutions to the problem. Co-ops became even more attractive in light of Central Housing and Mortgage Corporation's decision to lend money to finance student residences. Co-ops' have been in largescale operation at the Universities of Toronto and Waterloo for some time now.UBC and· Dalhousie are forging full speed ahead on plans for their co-ops, and a small group of University of Saskatchewan students are operating a pilot co-op. The University of Alberta, which has shown considerable interest in this area, has yet to commit itself to a co-op project. Other trends in student behavior manifested themselves, also. Bad cheques, missing library books, book store profits at break-even university book stores--all cropped up at virtually every campus. And all over, students devoted considerable time to just being students. Winter weekends, queen contests, boat races--all contributed to making 1966-67 a year to remember with some nostalgia, if not with a feeling of genuine pride and accomplishment. JUDICIAL COMMITTEE HUlfS SIi The ground rules for the operation of the AMS Judicial Committee have been laid. At a meeting on May 5 Dean Kerr, Mr. Ted Broughton, the AMS President and Treasurer, and the three members of the Judicial Comittee talked over the areas of administration of the proposed Security force as opposed to those of the students' committee. The important task of writing the formal constitution of the Judicial Committee will be completed by Chief Justice Bert Baumann and presented to Council next year for ratification. Important differentiations stressed at the meeting were primarily concerned with the limits of jurisdiction of the various agencies. It was decided that the AMS Judicial Committee would be responsible for infractions involving the University proper, and the well being of the students. Residence infractions will be handled by the house committee in the residence, while Mr. Broughton will be primarily concerned with property damage and nonstudent infractions.

And in that astonishing expositionare many features that should be of interest to Lakehead students. One is the Youth Pavilion, found in La Roode, Expo's entertainment centre. Thirty-three youth organizations in Canada have helped to make this place geared to all young people on earth. Its themeis to portray the authentic and living image of world youth today, using the latest communication and presentation techniques. There are three centres of activities: a Theatre, a CafeDansant, and an open-air Amph· itheatre. The Youth Pavilion Theatre seats 250, and is programmed for modern plays, poetry readings, puppet shows, jazz and classical music, with accent on student participation. A special feature is an amateur international film festival showing movies produced by the world's youth on subjects of interest__ and significance to the 'now' generation. The Cafe-Dansant seats 150 and has dancing space for 100. It is also a TV studio for programs originating auhe Pavilion and is THE place for folk sin~ ing, monologues, jazz and popular music and dancing. The Amphitheatre seats 250 in a public square called an : agora, staging hootenanies and , - similar happenings, folk dancing groups, choral groups and gymnastic and sports events. Amother distinctive feature, is Youth Day, Sunday, August 6th, with its universal theme,of Youth and Peace; special activities are planned. And while vou are in La , PAGE NINE Four L.U.

Early bids were a little high but it looks like there will soon be an alternative to hitchhiking. Mr. Wayne Tocheri, last year's AMS President, bas been chosen as one of thirty Canadian students to take part in a tour of Russia this spring. The tour has been organized by the Canadian Union of Students in cooperation with a student union in the USSR. The tour within' Russia has been subsidized by the Russian student organization b~t Mr. Tocheri has had to raise· much of the travel expenses himself. The AMS has provided $100 in recogn1t1on of the privilege granted an LU student and on the understanding that he will write a series of eight feature articles on Russia for the summer ARGUS. Mr. Tocheri left Monday for a mid week briefing _in Montreal and will arrive in Russia over the weekend for the start of the 21 day tour. Mr. Tocheri has _agreed to the organization of a reciprocal tour by Russian students in Canada during August. BUILDING PROGRAM ON SCHEDULE The expansion program has to date run into no major setbacks according to Mr. Claude Smith, Director of Planning and the Physical Plant. Progress towards completion of the Athletic Field House has been set Dack slightly with the expected completion date now moved to December 1967. Original bids for its construction were considered too high by the Deparonent of University Affairs and the Administration. and revised tenders are presently being reviewed and will he awarded shortly. . The Library project is a dif~ erent story. The current program is proceeding on schedule and the classroom and office areas will be completed for the beginning of the next term. The top floor, which will house books, should be completed sometime during the term. The.

Student Plans To Paint Tunnels ·What do you do with a thousand feet of virgin white cement wall? This is the question which confronts anyone taking a stroll through the University tunnels. The question itself is not of great importance but the solution could be. Gary-Conrad Boychuk, an Arts 1 student and past President of the University Art Club would like to see those seven pieces of wall transformed into seven unique murals. His proposal will be brought before the University Committee at their next meeting and will be accepted or rejected there. Mr. Boychuk is preparing 10 to 15 coloured sketches of his plans to illustrate the proposal. Plans call for the murals to have a classical theme ranging from Egyptian wall paintings to Gothic sculpture and may include some representation of the Byzantine period. Also included in the proposal would be a mural depicting the transition between the Linear or Geometric Period to the Archaic Period of Greek art, a mural depicting the trJ__nsition between Greek and Roman paintings, reliefs, and architectural TWO REMINDERS Music Competition At Minneapolis The Twelfth Annual Young Artists Competition sponsored by the Women's Association of the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra has been scheduled for Friday and Saturday, September 22 and 23, 1967, e>o the University of Minnesota campus in Minneapolis.

Students Suspended Two Lakehead University students have been suspended for a year as a result of judicial action taken after an incident which occurred in Residence. The incident evolved when the two students were found in a drunken state late at night in an out-of-bounds area of the Residence. They were asked to leave, first by a proctor and then by a faculty member. The two then became aggressive, used obscene • landuage and ended by throwing a punch at the professor. For their actions the guilty parties were interview· ed by Dean Kerr, Dean of Students, in consultation with the Chief Justice, Bert Baumann. It was decided that judicial action was necessary because of the seriousness of the incident; the two could have been tried in a criminal court on several counts. The crimes committed necessitated a penalty and it was decided that a year of suspension, from September 1967 to April 1968, was both a lenient and a just sentence. It was pointed out by Dean Kerr that in most universities the two guilty parties would have been expelled immediately without a judicial hearing of any sort. The students, however, were allowed a hearing which encompassed the due process of law and were given the opportunity to complete this academic year. They were allowed to write the April exams and will be able to take any supplementary exams required to fulfill their year. Although they will be suspended for a year, the decision allows them to complete the current year without penalty. """ , I C RESIDENCE ROUGHNECKS RUN RAGING McINTYRE by Rod Phillips "Leave it up to the students of Lakehead University to think up something different." Thus quoth the News Chronicle on April 15, 1967. The occasion? Tubing - the new sport which struck Lakehead University - the residence at least during final examinations. You've all heard of snowtubiog, but the Lakehead University is., different. It all began when several students, discovering by the hard way that the ice floes on the McIntyre River were a mite too small to ride, borrowed a couple of tractor inner tubes, and negotiated the river---rapids and all, for this was during the spring thaw when the usually tame river became a raging torrent. The sport soon caught on, but unfortunately the tubes had to be returned to their owner. But where there's a will there's a way, and several tubing enthusiasts bought their own tubes from a city dealer at $2.50 a shot. AND UNDER THE BRIDGE ... MAYBE Enthusiasm began to wane however, as the sight of tubists Another highlight, however, cruising past residence became was the· two-man-double tube more and more common. Io order race.

BALANCE ROYAL TRUST 4½% 202 ARTHUR STREET Port Arthur STUDENT LOANS PLAN REVAMPED, IMPROVED The Province of Ontario Student A wards Plan (POSAP) which caused so much controversy across the province last year has been radically changed. The Student Awards Offices on the various campuses have been given considerable autonomy in administering and grandng loans and bursaries to their own students. Formerly a large part of the job was done by a central office of the University Affairs Department in Toronto. There will be approximately three times as much government money available this year- ' PAGE ELEVEN 12½ million compared to last years 4¾ million-and a more generous loan to grant ratio. One of the reasons for this increase is that provincial grants formerly used by the Universities to pay -for entrance scholarships, for example the $1500.00 scholarships granted by Lakehead last year, have been applyed to the awards plan for next year.

Even this year with our small emphasis on sports, what brought prominence to Lakehead University was not academic achievement but victory in sports. One source has it that a certain member of our faculty wants to make skiing the major sport at Lakehead. I'm not degrading our skiers but the dead bears in Banff National Park, rolled over. in their graves laughing when they heard this.

It is regretable that one of the principals involved is writing this story but every effort has been made and used to present both sides of the dispute . . For editorial comment please tum to page 2 andforreproductionof the letter and memorandum mentioned see page 4. The President of the Al~a Mater Society has been form• ally accused of being derelict in his duties. In a letter delivered to AMS President Young last Friday morning, Don Colborne, Argus Editor, informed Mr. Young that in his opinion Young was wasting the student's money and betraying their trust. Mr. Young later said to The Argus, that 'In my opinion I'm representing the students of Lakehead University to the extent that I think they would feel justified'. The letter had attached a rough itinerary of Mr. Young' s activities over the three day eriod ne look after its business, plan for next year, and conduct a summer programme. When, for reasons of fairness, Mr. Young was shown the Argus report you are reading he prepared the following statement. 'If Mr. Colborne doubts my ability I would question his support of me in the AMS election campaign. I would also ask for a clear definition of the word constructive and would invite Mr. Colborne to make a brief comparison of the work accomplished this May and June with that of Mr. Tocheri (who worked at a higher salary) last year. I I would think that the high school visitations (which by the way, impressed ORCUS President Hugh Armstrong) the redefining of Judiciai Committee powers, the stu~ent handbook (which is berng capably edited by Mr. Larry Bryan and Rod Phillips), the Contact (once again under the capable editorship of Mr. Joe Danis), and the new method of bu in ons1 ere constructive most students.• dents working or visiting on According to Mr. Colborne campus had become increasingly disturbed at Mr. Young's his alleged 'disservice to and apparent inability or refusal to disinterest in the students ,of spend more than a small part of Lakehead University' became his time doing art'ything con- increasingly evident in the structive. He had been employ- latter part of June when Mr. ed since May 1 by the AMS with Young appeared to be doing tl}e understanding that he would" nothing with his time. For the purpose of ascer~aining, as near as possible, Just exactly whether or not the President was doing anything, the Argus collaborated with a few informants, and noted roughly his whereabouts and acti vities over three days. When the notes were tabulated it became alarmingly evident to The Argus that Mr. Young was not earning his $100 per week salary. The Argus Editor then sent a copy of the rough itinerary to Mr. Young with a strongly worded cover letter. The letter accused him of 'dereliction of duties' but expressed a willingness to close the matter if a~surance 'that the situation will change' was forwarded immediately ·to the Argus office. The same afternoon Mr. Young delivered a lengthy memorandum to The Argus, with no assurance 'that the situation would change', only a detailed but facetious explanation of why he had spent the days in question in the manner suggested. Hee • e Argus'. Mr. Colborne then honoured the 'ultimatum' mentioned in the original letter and gave the matter 'the public exposure it mo st assuredly merits', by printing this report, an editorial on page two, and reprinting the original letter and memorandum on page three . University Committee AMS Subsidies Considered MR. PETER UBRIACO Mr. Peter Ubriaco, Superintendant of Buildings, died on June 6 at the age of 47. Mr ... Ubriaco was well known and very well liked by his associates and had many friends among the student body. He showed his sincere interest and dedication to our University by establishing, in 1965, the "Frank P. Ubriaco Memorial Scholarship" with an annual value of $250 in memory of his father. He also donated the trophy awarded annually to the Lakehead University Squash champion, and a picture which now hangs in the library building. It was always well known among students that· Peter Ubriaco was the man to see if you were short 5 or 10 dollars until the end of the month. Mr. Ubriaco was an employee of the University for three years. He is survived by his mother, with whom he lived in Port Arthur and a sister who instructs in French at Scarborough College of the University of Toronto. The funeral was held on Friday, June 9. The ARGUS joins the rest of Lakehead in sympathising with the bereaved family and in mourning the loss of a fine man. The second summer meeting of the UniversityCommittee, held on June 8, was considerably quieter than the first but discussed a number of items important to students. That these. were not dealt with summarily is evidenced by the duration of the meeting... two and a half hours, instead of the customary hour. First on the agenda was the question of Argus representation at University Committee meetings ( see article page four). The Committee had decided on February 16 that the Argus should attend Committee meetings but that the paper had to show its report to the secretary of the Committee, Director of Finance David Morgan before publishing the report. Rod Phillips distributed a written brief to Committee members in which he contested the morality and legality of the situation. Presenting the paper in the in the Committee, Mr. Phillips called the situation "an unsubtle attempt at censorship", but withdrew the statement after an objection by Dean of Students John Kerr. It was finally resolved that the Argus could attend Committee meetings on the basis usual to newspaper reporting. The Committee, however, affirmed its right to enter in camera session at will. The ·committee next considered a request that the Administration subsidize the Proctor Force for summer. Speaking in favour of the request, A.M.S. ,President Peter Young and Treasurer Don Lees pointed out that· insofar as the proctors were protecting the good name of the university at outside functions and university property at on-campus functions, that the Administration should bear part of the cost of the Force. Mr. Young also pointed out that the Force was operating on a higher budget in Summer. While accepting these points, President Tamblyn stated that to subisdize the Summer Proctor Force. the Administration would have to use funds from tuition fees of Fall/ Winter tenn students. Dr. Tamblyn questioned the morality of taking funds from students who do not, in the main, attend summer dances. Discussion of the question continued for over an hour with no decision reached. Mr. Lees suggested that the situation be discussed further at a later meeting. The Argus asked for a cash subsidy of $200, mailing costs of $110, and secretarial help. The Argus argued that its policy of mailing the summer paper to every person who applies for admission was a valuable public relatio.ns service to the university. The Administration granted all of these, but instead of giving a direct cash grant of $200, Dr. Tamblyn decided that the Administration would take out $200 worth of advertising. The A.M.S. requested a re- duction in its share of the accident insurance on students. Mr. Young argued that most accidents this year were found to be connected with athletics, and that therefore the Athletic Department should take a proportionate share of the insurance costs. There was some discussion, during which it was suggested that this insurance, which is paid automatically by all students, should be made voluntary, as most students are already covered by some form or other of insurance. However, because some members of the Committee were unfamiliar with the full facts of the situation, further discussion a.nd a decision were tabled. It was requested that the Administration investigate the possibility of keeping the residence open during the summer .t. months. Mr. Claude Smith, Dir- • • ector of Physical Plant, explained that there would be a number of problems, such as keeping the residence heated, and that there would have to be a guaranteed number of students in residence during--summer to justify its being kept open. It was decided that the question should be kept in mind for next year. Rod Phillips presented to the Committee for later consideration a survey on re.sidence problems (see article else where). The _survey was the result of a questionnaire mailed to students in residence in '1966-67. �JUNE 29, 1967 THE ARGUS PAGE TWO One Side of the Story disorganized to the extent that in one case the delegation arrived a\ a local high school on the wrong day and there was never any sort of understanding between the AMS and the high schools on what was going on. Secondly these were not even 'high school visitations' in the ordinary sense (where people from the University attend classes and establish personal contact with high school students). They were simply extem• poraneous slide shows and speaking engagements. That pretty wel.l takes care of the 'con• structive' items that Mr. Young claims he has done. The only item not clarified above is that Mr. Young claims he has devised 'a new method of buying and selling used books'. Fine, we hope that the new method wi II save the students at least part of the several hun • dred dollars paid in salary to the President and 'for his travel ·expenses over the past two months. This is a difficult editorial to write • and the decision to use. it was put off until the last minute. It concerns personalities • normally ta'boo - and a subz·ectiveness that should never enter an editoria. But it is serious, dead serious, and it is the responsibility of the Argus to make .this s'ituation an issue, The Reason - Our student President, Mr. Peter Young, is not fulfilling his duties • any of them. He spends his days sfrolling around campus doing nothing. He is being paid $100 per week or more - depending on proceeds from the summer dances. This money comes out of the students' pockets. These dances could easily be arrang• ed for by a student on slight honoraria. Also, the dance schedule has been very significantly shortened. T-here is an almost unlimited amount • of work which on AMS President can do in the summer, only a small part of which concerns the summer school students themselves •· who, most being adults, are largely uninvolved in student affairs. The Argus made representation earlier this year that two AMS executives be hi red for the summer, because we saw all the work that should be done. We were disappointed that council chose to· hire only one. No longer. They hired one, gave him free reign, no boss (of necessity), no instructions, and an executive salary. This person, Mr. Young, has not lived up to the expectations of council. We saw him doing nothing and others saw him doing nothing. There are very few students on campus during May and June but to those who were here, Mr. Young's activities became a running joke, probably tinged with envy. It was our responsibility, our duty as individual students, and as a newspoper, to try to do something to change the situation. . As far as the memorandum reproduced on page three is concerned there are a few areas of canflict'that can be straightened out. As Mr. Young states, our informant was wrong. He returned from the conference in reasonable time; it was his day of arrival which should have been in question. Perhaps it was a problem in flight booking but Mr. Young arrived in Toronto a day before the conference began. It might be added that the only news passed on to the Argus on his return was that he had had a fine time with a certain (female) student leader from another institution. On the afternoon of June 21 Mr. Young claims he was hiding in his office working. If so he wasn't answerihg his telephone and the CUS Chairman, who has an office next door, says he will 'swear on 'Das Kapital' or 'Guer_illa Warfare by Che Guevera" that he was not there all afternoon. The Mr. Tamblyn mentioned in the memor:1ndum is, to avoid confusion, not university President Dr. Tami:llyn, but hla :,on Ian who is employed for the summer on the grounds staff. We blew the tennis and tour evenings alright, but we're not the CIA. Mr. Young indeed did• not start playing tennis until 4:30 on June 22, not 3:40. Referring to the slide show and tours we wonder how it could have taken an entire afternoon to plan a showing given many times before (at the~ "high school visitations") and the tour route (which involved three campus buildings and was shown to the guides hastily on the first evening only). A number of guides themselves were not even students. Office girls had to fake that they were students and earned an easy $5.00 per night for about two hours work when Mr. Young could not get, or bother to get, enough students to come out. The Action What to do? That is the situation as it stands . If Mr. Young feels we have been unfair he is welcome to release a statement, which we wi 11 print,• He must be aware, however, that when he took the position he did he become a socalled "public figure" and as such his activities are open to public scrutiny. Clarification It is hoped that this issue wi 11 not be regarded as overplayed petty bickering between persons working together; personal infighting carried too far. Relations between the President and the Argus have been very cordial until now, and perhaps they will remain so. It was only after serious policy discussions among senior members of the Argus staff that it was ·decided to use the issue as n·ews. We concluded that it certainly was news, and news of. vital concern to every student. The point in question was whether print• ing this would do any 1eal good, or whether it would be a purposeless admission of gross error in that the students had made a mi stake when they hired Mr. Young. The decision was this: that it is vital to have a member of the AMS exec\ltive on campus during the summer, that Mr. Young must certainly remain in his position, that he has not thus far assumed the responsibilities of that position, that he ignored a personal request to shape up, that by making this public issue the Argus might convince him to get to work. a I • ~\® ~ Letters to the Editor AND ARE WE, NOW? We're liars? We did. We kept tabs on Mr. Young for three days and were appalled at what we found. Perhaps the surreptitiousness of th-i s sort of thing was a little ~ow on our part, but it appeared to be the only way to confirm absolutely what we already kn,w casually. Despite a few large holes in our information it was obvious that he either had nothing to do on those days, or chose to do nothing. We sent him the letter and the itinerary reproduced on page J; asked him to promise to shape up or we'd make this thing public. He didn't. He tried to shrug it off in the memo.r• andum, also on page 3, the feeble humour and casual tone of which clearly showed that he had no intention of convincing vs 'that the situation would change immediately'. The several hours which he spent at the typewriter in composing that message are most certainly the longest continuous period of work he has put in all summer. The only significant note of explanation offered was that the AMS was 'in a quiet period'. As far as the Argus is concern.-d the entire summer is a quiet period for the • - AMS and that is why Mr. Young was hired •· to plan for the noisy periods •• something he he has not done. Mr. Young prepared and reieased the state• ment quoted on page one when shown the article in which it appears. In that statement he takes credit for certain 'constructiv_,. activities. To find out whether credit was due in in these areas the Argus approached some of the st.udents involv1td. 'Redefinition of the powers of the Judicial Committee' was done at a meeting on May 5 and according to Chuck Grieve, Associate Justice, all further work was out of Mr. Young's hands and exclusively in those of .the Chief Justice,· Bert Baumann. According to Rod Phillips, the decision that he and Larry Bryan would edit the student handbook was made by themselves with only a casual OK from President Young. Mr. Joe Danis, who will again edit the Con, tact, says that his editorship is simply 011 understanding and involved Mr. Yo.ung onl) in the most elf-hand manner. .Referring to Mr. Young's claim that he works harder than last year's president the President from two years ago, Mr. Gerry Hess, has stated that when Mr. Tocheri was employed last surmr.er he was •often working until midnight'. The Argus knows about the high school visitations 'which by the way impressed ORCUS President Hugh Armstong' according to Mr. Young. Firstly, they were totally f r---:: ..\·· \~~ Dear Sir: Yesterday I listened to an angry tirade by ~ rampant dowager, raging against Lakehead University in general and its students in particular. According to her, L.U. students are a "bunch of broads, beatniks, hop-heads, and hippies", who have failed at, or have been rejected by, "better" universities, and who "are getting chances that WE never got." (Aha!) They have "parents who can afford to keep them in school to print THAT sort of • • ** at OUR expense. WE'RE paying for it, and its just a waste of taxpayers' money." Etc., Etc .. Ordinarily, a flailing attack such as this one can be laughed off as just another symptom of approaching menopause. Unfortunately this lady's spouse has a fair amount of local prestige, and her expressed opinions just might carry weight by association. Would it be possible to publish in the local papers the approximate percentage of L . U. students who have paid and are paying their own tuition fees? It would be quite impossible to estimate the number of conscientious, serious, students who can just scrape along financially by living at home. Even though their marks would gain entry, going elsewhere to another university would cost too much. The lady in question is doing a grave injustice to the vast majority of the student body. Her unfounded comments could be damaging to the University Building Fund canvass.. Her remarks aren't helping her husband any, either. And for REALLY blunt comment, she should read the Queen's u. paper! (Mrs.) Tillie Hurrell, B.A./67 Lakehead University WE SHRIVE HARDER Sirs etc: Have just finished scrutiny of your first summer issue and take misspelling typewriter in hand to pass -a few comments.

Hangups Solved Here The following should clear up any problems you have encountered with the course evaluation questionnaires. Other comments, questions, or prob· lems will be promptly answered if you write or call the AMS or Argus offices on campus. Scared? 'all I said was that I'd help with the Argus' Don't worry. No faculty member will get anywhere near your personal response. Sure, the students who tabulate your report are going to know what you think - but they aren't even going to care after hunching over N of those little boxes for a period of weeks. Enter your name or its a lost cause -- responses without names will be rejected. Gotta Lotta Labs? There is only one item on the sheet referring to labs and seminars, which are a large part of some courses. This was necessary in order to produce a questionnaire applicable to every program. It is in areas such as this that appropriate comments are invited. FUlked? Or Dropped Out? If you dropped out of a course forget it -- we can't accept your evaluation. If you flunked, don't sweat a little thing like that, send it in anyway with your failure•indicated. You were just as ml\,ch a part of the class as the keeners. In University Schools? So you've got ten courses and had no choice at all in entering every one of them. Tear off the address label on this paper, scrawl a request for another form, and send it to us -- or better still call the University - two handy locations to serve you better -- AMS and Argus. (Not necessarily in that order). One of the basic purposes of the evaluation is to give the profs some consensus feedback. If they can see in the anti-calendar that their course is weak in certain areas they might just change it for next ye·ar even though their students are forced to take the subject. Th.e Argus is a Summer School paper as of the time you read this. A few old pros from last year put this rag together and will stick around to help you put out a weekly masterpiece this summer. But a lot of bodies are needed -including yours. You are therefore invited to a gathering of the journalistic tribes at noon Monday ih the lower cafeteria where you will be strongarmed into signing ~ffidavits releasing use of your s~are t i.t1e to THE MIGHTY - -ARGUS.

If you have already sent in incomplete responses get your behind in gear, ask us for another plan, and do it all over again; we will return your originals if possible. PLEASE! This information is not essential as other studies indicate that marks have little relationship to ratings.

It's big, it's valuable, and it's student. Everyone must cooperate. Censorship Issue Resolved "An unsubtle attempt at censorship" accused Rod Phillips on behalf of the Argus. "I take grave exception to that" returned Dean Kerr. The question, however, WAS on censorship, and the Argus found itself, for the first time, at the centre of a hassle which could have far-reaching effects upon the future of student publications here at Lakehead. The issue started quietly at a closed (as was formerly the case) meeting of the University Committee on February 16 of this year. At that time the committee passed a resolution inviting an Argus reporter to attend its meetings with the proviso that any article based on those meetings be checked "for accuracy" by David Morgan, Director of Finance, and Secretary of the Committee. Unfortunately no official notification or invi tation was sent to the Argus and by the time news of the decision filtered out it was too late for the Argus to report any but the final meeting, and that only briefly. As far as the Argus was aware, notes from neither that nor any subsequent meeting were subject to review. It all caught up on both administrative officials. sides following the first sumAt the next regular meeting mer meeting of the Committee. of the Committee on June 8 Mr. Harsh words were said at that Rod Phillips spoke on behalf meeting and sweeping accusat- of the newspaper who's editor ions made.

John Lyon Bureau Chief of the Canadian University Press In-1965 it was "Abolition of Tuition Fees"; in 1966 it was "End the War in Vietnam"; in 1967 it will be "Student Representation in Academic Government". In Canadian universities every year students, and student leaders, draft programs of 'things to do'. These projects vary considerably from year to year, but they invariably have at least two things in common:, they have a moral rationale, and they are progressive. And amazingly, they are usually accepted by the Uni versity and by Society. "Abolition of Tuition Fees" is now a wellrecognized and little-disputed aim - but this is a far cry from 1964 when such a doctrine was darkly regarded as a sinister and socialistic plot. "End the War in Vietnam" has been a student cause for several years now, but only recently with the current turn of world events has it appeared the better cause.

The administrators are perhaps wise enough to realize that if the critics of the university are given at least minimuni partial involvement in the governing of the university, their efforts then become directed upon the students. This kind of action would at once involve critical student acti vists in the practicalities of university administration, and at the same time turn them into staunch defenders of university policy in the face of the students. It is therefore to the university's advantage to accede to student pressures for representation in Senates, on Faculty Councils, and even on departments.

'BUCK' BUCHANNANMA: 2-1891 first occasion when a membef '.lf the Lakehead University teaching staff presented a paper at an international conference. The substance of Dr. Sarbadhikari 's thesis, which is based on the complex situation in India, is of interest to federal systems such as Canada. Foreign policy, he argues, should not be the monopoly of the central government elite but should also reflect the entire balance of political forces within the country; including attitudes of provincial governments, economic classes, professional associations, etc. A policy reflecting a· diversity of attitudes would tend to· be less rigid. and committed and thus help in promoting international peace. Foreign policy should reflect the attitudes not only of governments but of the society at large. Dr. Sarbadhikari is a graduate of the celebrated London School of Economics and Political Science, London University and did post-graduate research work leading to a Doctorate at the Royal University in Utrecht in the Netherlands, one of Europe's oldest seats of learning. He was on the faculty at Jadavpur University, in Cal-· cutta, India, before joining Lakehead University in 1965. He has been awarded a travel grant from the Canada council Library book losses are expected to be high this year. In the words of the university Librarian, Mr. E. Belton, "an unreasonable number of books has disappeared." At the time of our going to press, the library inventory is not complete, but preliminary indications are that the book losses will run to over one per cent of the library's estimated 60,000 volumes. Losses have been found to be particularly heavy in the Math and Physics sections. In addition to these losses, an improportionate number of bound periodicals, especially in the Psychology section, have been found to be damaged. In many of these, .pages have been torn out; the library will have to either replace these volumes in their entirety or insert photo-copies of the missing pages. Mr. Belton explained that while "one has to accept the fact that a proportion (of books) does disappear", an attempt should be made to keep losses at a minimum. This is in the interests of all members of the university. The loss of books is an inconvenience to library users, and is a drain on library resources. Mr. Belton further explained that the system of bookborrowing at the library depended largely upon the cooperation and honesty of readers. Students will be well aware that there is no difficulty in taking out books without authority. Because so many students do this, some sort of check at the exit will have to be instituted. Mr. Belton stated that he was not sure at this point whether the check system would be in the form of guards who would do nothing except check books, or whether the system would be incorporated somehow with the existing de<;lt arrangement. He indicated that experiments may be made during the Summer School session. in support of his trip.

Lakehead finished 2nd in the eighteen hole event at which only three teams were represented. Glenn Miller and George Kelly tied for second in the individual placings. The tournament was won by the host club Ashland College. Other members of the Lakehead U team were Barry Mc Namee, Dick Battiston, and Bob Backen. Glenn Miller of the Athletic department has stated that the tournament was very poorly organized and that in all probability Lakehead would not attend future events at Ashland. He said that after not being informed of the starting time, the team travelled all night to arrive first thing in the morning only to wait around until 11 o'clock when the other two teams showed up.

Twenty-six students, most all of whom were seniors or graduates from universities across Canada, were chosen by the Canadian Union of Students for this unique endeavour. With all arrangements completed, we would tour the Soviet Union for three weeks covering almost 3,000 linear miles with official Sputnikjuide·s and translators. I should explain, however, that while we were an official delegation from Canada, we were not empowered to represent officially the C.U.S. or even .our respective campuses. I am stating this now because our status involved us in an extremely flambuoyant situation towards the end of the tour . . I shall save the details of this incident for a separ~ ate article in a future issue. The tour, which began on May 12 and ended June 7 was the first stage of the Exchange. The second portion will commence with the Soviet delegation's arrival in Canada later this fall or early January. The Soviet and Canadian Unions are cooperating to ensure the· success of the Exchange. The primary purpose of the URions in sponsoring the tour for university students is to increase their knowledge and understanding of the two nations. Since the space allotment made by the· Argus editor prohibits me from attempting any specific analysis I shall contain this article to only an introductory report for the future columns. After completing a one day orientation session in Montreal we flew by Air Canada to London where we transferred to British European Airlines for the flight to Moscow. Any city of seven million people will certainly leave a graduate with plenty to talk and write about. Moscow is no exception! I spent seven days there, three at the beginning of the tour and four at the end. In the next issue I shall discuss the topic of international trade Moscow style of course. It is entitled "Moscovites on Black Market." From the nation's capital, we travelled 400 miles north by train to Leningrad. Our three day stay in this city bordering Finland afforded an excellent opportunity for an intro duction to· "Komsomol" (roughly Communist Youth) their attitudes and activities, (first hand by me). It was a terrifying 600 mile air flight from Leningrad on the ever so modern airline (Soviet description) - Aeroflot - which brought us to Kiev. Four days in the heart of the Ukraine provided ample opportunity for "free" movement among the people. It was in Kiev that I found conclusive evidence in support of the theory that our world 1s too small for boundaries. I met a charming couple, an acquaintance of mine, from Fort William! They too, were on a tour of their own. I have an exceedingly non-descript titlefor my article on the Ukraine. It is simply, "The People of Kiev" , but I doubt that I will be able to ·remain on topic throughout as there were too many side events which I must relate. See you in Kiev article four! If you're still with me, we climb aboard another train, this time for a gruelling thirty hour, 900 mile, route to Sochi on the Black Sea. Six days tn a sub-tropical resort town in a resort camp for youth ( anyone between the ages 18·50)! is too much for one article. Therefore, my first review shall be a look at a few interesting individuals with whom I associated. My most intriguing character was a young lady and our ensuing situation prompts the title "Svetlana ·- An Agent?". Article two from Sochi is "An International Incident." I am holding this review for the finale primarily because I am awaiting a copy of a resolution handed our delegation in So chi on International Save the Children Day. We departed the day following which came none too soon. Canadians were not welcome anymore because we alone refused to sign the resolution. Privileges of democratic nations are not recognized (i.e. in Russia you do as the Russians).

Boots VOLUME II, No. I LAKEHEAD UNIVERSITY, PORT ARTHUR, ONTARIO L.U. ANNEXES WATERFRONT September 18, 1967 Graduate Program Announced President W.G. Tamblyn announced recently that Lakehead University will now offer a program in graduate studies leading to a Master's degree in the following four disciplines: English, Physics, Psychology and Mathematics. Candidates have already been approved and the courses ratified by the Senate, so that the program will commence this semester. While commenting on this decision, the President said that it was "a significant step in the University's development." Dr. Tamblyn went on to say that the development of post-graduate studies was not a decision to be taken lightly. "Post-graduate studies are a natural development in our academic evolution," he said, "but, the Senate feels very strongly that no post-graduate programs should • be adopted until they are collectively certain that the graduates will have the necessary research facilities and qualified faculty to make their graduate degree studies equal to those given at any other university of our size and stature. The University has been making every effort during the past few years to add highly trained personnel in the various fields of study in the Arts and Sciences." Those honours graduates pursuing their Master's of Arts Degree will be required to write a thesis in addition to taking graduate The Mariaggi Hotel Three Lakehead businessmen announced to the Student Housing Bureau in mid-August their plans to renO\· ate the Mariaggi Hotel to provide accommodation for 120 students. The 92-room hotel, built in the 1890' s, has long been a landmark on the Port Arthur waterfront. Similarly, the large lounges on the main floor haYe seen the initiation of many a young lush. But all this will soon change. The upper floors will be repaired, remodelled, and converted to proYide dormitory type accommodation for 120 students. To make what will be called the Marina Inn completely a student's hotel, the lounges wil1 be closed until the projected opening date early in November to change the pub patrons to a much younger crowd. The ever-present problem of parking would appear to be relati,·ely light in this case. Wbile day parking will be a little tight, 120 parking spots within studies. Dr. G.O. Rothney, Dean of Arts, stated that the thesis will usually be based on original research, involving contribution of new knowledge. In the Social Sciences, the research is expected to be based on local problems in Northwestern Ontario. Each s tudent in both Arts and Science will be assigned an individual member of the teaching staff to supervise personally his research work. Dr. John Hart, Dean of Science, stated that "the Faculty of Science has an active research program, supported by substantial grants from the National Research Council and similar organizations. We have a highly qualified faculty, who are studying applied problems of importance to Northwestern Ontario as well as undertaking pure research of fundamental scientific interest." Commenting further on graduate students, Dr. Hart said that "the success of a graduate school in science depends on the professor, the facilities and the research problems to be solved. The presence of graduate students will provide an intellectual stimulus for the faculty and undergraduate alike. Good graduate students are stimulating, intelligent and challenging. They will not put up with second rate answers. They demand the best, both of themselves and of their professors." from both cities one block are empty at night. The new owners are also negotiating with the CNR in order provide more space.. Services to the resident students will make the Marina Inn as appealing to many as the Residence on campus. Plans include study rooms, laundry and pressing equipment with professional services optional. the accumulation of a library, bus service, and part time jobs for students . Rates for room or room and board are rumored to be very reasonable. The only serious drawback which could affect the operation of the Marina Inn is the late date of availability. However, the obvious benefits of living there will certainly make up for the inconveniences put up with in waiting for a room. Besides, being close to downtown Port Arthur, where else could you live where there is a pub downstairs instead of a living room? Bus Service Inaugurated Thanks to the work of the Administration; and to the cooperation of the two Lakehead cities, students will be able to reap full advantages of regular bus services this year. Both Port Arthur and Fort William have agreed to run buses of regular route schedules to andfrom the University. This should alleviate considerably the parking problem which was anticipated for the coming semester. Port Arthur will run a University Express bus, in addition to the routes described in their transit brochure. The Express will travel from St. Paul Street, through downtown Port Arthur, to the University and back again. The bus will leave the St. Paul Street terminal at 7: 45 a.m., 8: 45 a.m., and 9:45 a.m., arriving at the University about ten minutes later. In addition to the University Express, the regular Housing as acute as expected Looking for a place to stay in the Lakehead? Should you answer in the affirmative you are probably already aware of your plight. The Lakehead University Student Housing Bureau has come to the aid of many homeless souls and will continue to do so until the middle of Septemt>er. They have listings of aYailable accommodation in both cities. The accommodation varies from the single room or room and board variety to apartments, small houses, and motel suites. Apartments are an extremely rare item and many students may have to accept single rooms. Students arriving from Southern Ontario will find that the choice of accommodation is smaller than in other parts of the province. Unlike Soothern Ontario, the Lakehead has few apartment blocks and town house developments and virtually no high rise apartment buildings. Although the Lakehead is a sufficient size to warrant such projects it would TWELVE PAGES appear that urban development is still in its early stages. Housing Bureau Director Tom Goodman has found yet another handicap to hamper _h is work. It seems that several other institutions in the Lakehead also have out-of-town students to accommodate. People attending Lakehead Teacher's College, the Adult Education Centre, Confederation College, and the Rehabilitation Centre are looking for rooms and beds, often procuring acc~mmodation which the University had listed. The avoidable embarassment to both potential tenants and to landlords in these cases is unfortunate . But the Housing Bureau on campus, being an office of the Administration, cannot accommodate students of these other institutes at the expense of University students. With this fact in mind, one can more easily sympathize with Mr. Goodman and his active and busy staff. Oliver Road bus will make a trip to the campus at 7: 15 a.m. Return trips to downtown Port Arthur via the Express are scheduled for 4:13 p.m., and 5: 13 p.m. The regular Oliver Road bus will also pick up students at the University at 6:30 p.m. and 9:00 p.m. The cost for the bus service will be the regular adult fare, which works out to fourteen cents per ticket, or seven tickets for one dollar. Students will be able to travel anywhere in the city of Port Arthur for this fare. Transferring from a regular bus to the University Express will be at no extra cost. The transit service from Fort William, beginning for the first time this fall, has taken some months of negotiations to work out. The bus will arrive at the University at 7:50 a.m., 8:50 a.m., 9:50 a.m., and 7:15 p.m. The route that the bus will follow originates from the Walsh and Franklin Streets terminal. The bus will travel directly to the University along Edward Street. It will return to Fort William via Edward Street andwill travel through the city in a route servicing Westfort along Amelia Street, Brock Street and Sprague Street as far north as Walsh. From Walsh it will proceed north on Franklin to Victoria, west to Edward, and then back to the University. Buses will depart from the campus at 4:15 p.m., 5:10 p.m. 6: 15 p.m., and 9:00 p.m. The Fort William bus rates are slightly different from those on the Port Arthur buses, owing to the greater distance to be travelled. Students who take buses from Fort William to the University will be charged a double fare, half to be paid 1 on boarding the bus, the other half or the second ticket, upon getting off the bus at the University. This rate is only effective during the hours from 7 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. For trips after 6:30 p.m. the rate will be higher than previously noted, or 14 2/3 cents times two to go to and to come from the University. A round trip after 6:30 p.m. will cost a total of 58.6 cents. In Fort William, transfers along Edward Street are being set up by the transit commission. There will be no extra cost for transferring. It is hoped that the University bus service will tie in with the regular city service in cx:der to facilitate travelling to, and from the campus. The bus schedules in both Port Arthur and in Fort William commence today. September 18. Port Arthur begins full service today, while the Fort William buses are on a partial schedule. They arrive at the University at , 8:50 a.m. and 9:50 a.m. and 1 leave the campus at 4: 10 p.m. c/ and 5: 10 p.m. today. Tomorrow they will be on their full schedule. Buttons are necessary for admittance to all activities during Orientation Week -- �Page 2 THE ARGUS September 18, 1967 Hippies-- the unloved lovers _ - Love was the word this summer. love and flower power. Hippyism, which until this spring was a small cult confined to the Haight-Ashbury district of San Francisco and the Greenwich Village area of New York , has spread with astonishing rapidity across The States and Canada. The long-haired, rather dirty bangled and beaded, psychedelic hippy preaching the philosophy of love, peace and joy, has become one of the major news stories of the year, with every reputable magazine, and quite a few unreputable ones, giving this new breed extensive coverage. Toronto's establishment Globe and Mail has covered every love-in, paint-in, demonstration and protest held by the Yorkville hippies over the summer. Both Ottawa papers covered the hippy versus The Mall merchants fight in great detail. Maclean' s supported the use of hippies in the Company of Young Canadians in Victoria and elsewhere. And most ridiculous of all, a Look reporter was interviewed by a confession magazine while he was living in Haight-Ashbury, researching a story. But hippies are more than good summer copy. They are an important manifestation of the growing dislike ana' distrust of today's society by the young, the so-called "majority generation.'' The desire to ''tune m and drop out" and get •away from the pres.sures of school, home and materialism is understandable when one considers that a nice home, two cars, three televisions and a college education are what are considered success in this life. And the hip philosophy is one which appeals to the young, first because basically it caters to the self, and secondly because in its purest form it can appeal to the ideals of the young in a way the big-business syndrome never can. Hippies believe in loving .. . oneself, one's neighbour, the fuzz, the mayor who is trying to get rid of one, anyone and everyone. They do not want to own the world, they want to be allowed to live the way they want. They hold a belief which is a mixture of Christianity at its most primitive, Buddhism, Communism. The Diggers, an organization run by active hippies , provides food, clothing and money for their less resourceful bretheren. Many of these work part time, often with the post office so they can survive and so they can buy the drugs which are a necessary part of the whole hippy set-up. But work is not the be-all and end-all of their existence. To quote a San Francisco cab driver "The hippies are more honest with themselves than anyone else is. Most people spend all their time workin'gand then enjoy life only as a sideline. With the hippies, life comes first, and work is the side line." But to parents, municipal government authorities, and "straight" people the whole business seems ridiculous, a waste of time and a nuisance. They feel the flower people' are irresponsible, dirty and dangerous. They threaten all the things held most dear by the elders and ''betters'', and they use drugs.

Although the attendance was not as f.reat as was expected, the ideas ex• pressed by Dr. Ho ward Adams , Ralph Bruyers, Duke Redbird, and Harold Cardinal made the audience think very hard about the Indian's plight. "Canadians are hypocrites•: s tated Dr. Howard Adams. The reservation system was inaugurated when the Indian was of no further use to the white con• querors. And then starvation policies were used, along with armed force, to make the Indians move into these compounds. In actuality, "reserve system" is simply a nice term for apartheid. The Indians were forced onto reserves where they were ruled absolutely by the government. They were treated as wards, children, or worse, "We were supposed to die off, but we sure fooled them", said Dr. Adams. Once the reserve system was established, steps were taken to make sure that the Indians could never resurge as in the days of Riel. The buffalo had been completely destroyed so that the Indians were dependent on the state for support. Here was a tool in the form of a wel• fare cheque that has been used many times to exploit the Indian. Many Indian customs were stepped on to facilitate control of the savages by the civilized whites, while other customs, such as the election of chief and council. were fostered, and for the same reason that the others were disallowed. All the govern• ment 'really wanted from the In· dian was his land. It would have been easier for all if the New· foundland massacres have been followed up in other parts of the country, eliminating completely all Indians and the wealth of culture that they represent. A GREAT RESPONSIBILITY In the words of Duke Red· bird, ''We (the Indian youth) have a great responsibility to white Canada .. The tree of Canadian culture must be planted in Indian cultural soil, for we have a great contribution to make to Canada and to the changing te· chnological world." Th~s sta.te· ment, he said, would never have come from an Indian youth even fifteen years ago. This tremend· ous development towards exam· ining the society which they live in is the chief characteristic of Indian youth today. Us ing McLuhan's terminology Mr. Redbird went on to show the irony in the situation in Canada today. The society the Indian lived in (and s till wants to live in) was a consumer oriented society. Then nature and the Indian's whol e economy was replaced by a welfare cheque, making the Indian a liability to the governme nt. Now we see the government trying to develop a society with the benefits taken away from the Indians . With this return to tribal cul• ture- comes in fact a return to the Indian way of life of years past. The Indian youth has a difficult role to fulfill. "With the development of a cultural mozaic, we must compliment each other while remaining the same . We must retain Indianness while living in society" . Indians have much to offer in the way of heritage and social background. One of the considerations therefore must be the education of the children if they are to contribute to Can• adian culture , Dr. Adams ex• plained that the reserve system, from which the children come, is not white, urban, and middle class as are the schools into which they :tre placed. They cannot relate in this new environment and culture , the "buck• skin curtain"' is so heavy. According to school texts, the Indian is still in the aboriginal state, stereotyped as the sav• age. The present educational system is meaningkss to Indians since it is so obviously alienated to their way of life. "It is a hardship to succeed in someone else's system•• said ·Dr. Adams. LIVE is only a subtle form of genocide, and it must stop", stated Mr. Cardinal. The red tape· atfac·bed to Indian affairs makes his every move a labour. Reservations are like concentration camps . The people who are so-called friends of Indians ex• ploit them at every turn. But the Indian will not put up with this for any longer. There is at present a move towards action. "Too long we have been subjected to the government's thumb. We want to be the mas ters of our own destiny. We want to walk with pride beside any young Canadian. This we shall achieve ." No wonder the Indians are bitter. The Indian Affairs Department works from an Act draugbted between the govern• ment and the Indians without the knowledge of · the Indians. "The views of ·the people are essential to the people's government'", asserted Ralph Bruyers, "But in the case of the Indians, the communications are one•way, in practise. There must be a concerted effort on both sides to throw aside the 'buckskin curtain' ". White society is disturbed, and rightly so, by the re ali zation of the s e great problems. But what do the officials who could improve the situation do but refuse to acknowledge the existence of the problems . In North Saskatc hewan, the or• iginal separatist movement in Canada originated. At present, there are two tribes of Indians near a white community. F ighting often occ urs between these two tribes, s o successful have been the pol itical moves to di• vert racis m to inter- tribal bickering. But the diss atisfact• ion is such that fighting may soon tum into a fuU-sc ale re• ssutection of the Riel catastrophes. "CANNOT SUFFER FOR NOTHING" The battle between Indian and white, now mainly one of legal procedures and wits, is very bitter in more places than Saskatchewan. The so-called champions of Indian affairs now refuse to give the Indians control of their own lives. Indians have forc es working on them all of the ir lives, brainwashing them into the stereotype "noble savage" that they are supposed to be - s hy, humbl e, accepting. "The church was the greatest tool of the bureaucracy for this purpose", Dr. Adams stated. For the control of their own lives , the Indians have made an attempt. Red power, or the right to live unstifled, to direct their own affairs, co become integral parts of Canadian culture, is their goal. Dr. Adams stresses the necessity •of governmental aid, to begin with, in the form of light industry on reservation areas . This would make Indians self s ufficient, so that they could provide adequately for their families, pay taxes like the rest of the citizens of Canada, and become for the second time in their history true Canadians. Then the whole educational system must be re-vamped to suit their culture just as the present one suits the white culture. Then and only then can the Indian again stand on his own feet. "We are a suspicious race. We can not suffer for nothin .... ON SOCIETY'S CRUMBS In speaking of the difficulties encountered in the educational system, light is shed upon the entire outdated bureaucratic control of Indians. In many cases integrated schools are shunn· ed because the Indian culture is so foreign to the subject matter taught. But that is not all, Indians do not even have the constitutional right to sit on school boards, even if the majority of students in the school are Indian. "It"s too bad the press has not turned the same amount of attention to the Department of Indian Affairs as it has to the CYC", said Harold Cardinal. "No man can accept the fate of being imprisoned to accepting the · crumbs of society. He must be self sufficient." Indians can· not be changed as can paintings, nor can they be molded into another image against their wills. The past has shown this. Why then are we deluding our• selves by upholding the ob• solete Indian Act? The Indian seeks not academic analysis of his problem but material work to better his situation. Statistically the government spends more money on public welfare than on Indian affairs, said Mr. Cardinal. At the same time as their expenditures in• crease, Indians become .poorer. The money spent has little effect, though. There is one civil servant for every one and onehalf Indian families. And the government's solution to this problem is to create larger staffs.

It's about time that this community woke up and realized that we have racial discrimination in quantity right here in Port Arthur and Fort William. You may well ask: "If there is discrimination here, why aren't there any race riots?" My friend, discrimination takes many shapes and forms. It need not culminate in a race riot in order to qualify under the heading of "discrimination". It has been our experience to discover that many of our own fellow students are not able to find accomodation in the Lakehead, due to the colour of their skin, or their religious affiliation. Discrimination, as such is not based only upon a person's race, creed or colour. Ther~ are so many instances where people have been denied their basic human rights for reasons ranging from their family hackground to the model and year of car they drive. As an example, let us take into view for a few moments the position of the " hippie". Here is a person who, for the sake of his beliefs, (be they love, or anything else) is declared a "misfit". One citizen of the Lakehead recently expressed the view over a local radio station that these hippies should be put into jail. What type of nonsensical logic is this? Does any ~:me person have the right to judge a mass of people as large as is encountered when speaking in general terms such as "hippie"? In this one case, there appears to be widespread ignorance of what the hippie really is. We do not pretend fully to understand them yet. Perhaps we never shall. However, we do believe that without some measure of understanding, we are, in a sense, trying to pilot our ship with a broken rudder, through a narrow and treacherous channel. It is a great mistake, on the other hand, to stop discrimination just to save ourselves from the discomforts of mass revolt. This defeats the purpose of practising humanitarianism. We must be sure in our own minds that what we are doing is not done to save ourselves from the rebelling factions, but is done because we have firm conviction and belief in brotherhood amongst all men. In this way, and in this way only, can we achieve true and honest equality. It is possible that what Canada, as a whole, really needs at this stage is a full scale anti-discrimination drive to bring the issue closer to home. This may take any form, be it riot amongst our Indian citizens, or a race war in the Negro ghettos of Halifax. In any case, this still appears to be the only way that will prove to Canadians that this problem exists here, and that it's not happening south of the border alone • it's starting to happen everywhere. At this point, there appears to be no real alternative that can work and work fast enough. Unfortunately for Canadians, there has not been enough outcry for "action committees" that, had they been operating for ,some time now, could have possibly come forth with some workable solutions. However, leave us not speak in the gray area of "ifs", for they cannot help us now.

The student housing problem is not simply a repeat of previous year's complaints of lack of a few beds. It's panic because students are simply not able to find a bed at all. Worst hit are those studying in Montreal. McGill, with just over 1,300 residence beds, has more than 4,000 out-of-town students; the University of Montreal is in the same situation, and Sir George Williams, with about 2,000 out-of-town students, has no residences at all. And EXPO is taking up all outside housing until thP fair ends in October. To a lesser degree the same problem exists all over the country. With the influx of students into university in recent years most of the money has been devoted to the development of academic facilities and hiring staff, and little has been channelled into student housing. The result? Simon Fraser University moved in ten trailers to house students. "The trailers will be removed as soon as we acquire the financial resources to build additional accomodation". said SFU President Pat rick Mc Taggart-Cowan. University of Waterloo is short 500 beds, and is sending its students into Kitchener, miles from the campus, to scrounge space. The University of Guelph, with an enrolment of 4,300, has 1,300 residence spaces. The 3,000 students who are left out must "go into town" and fend for themselve~. Again, the Umversity at Saskatoon, with 7,000 out-of-town students, hasonly600 residence spaces. To make m_at!ers w~:>rs~ a recent survey showed that only .4 percent of the hvmg umts m Saskatoon are unoccupied, and thus available to students. The same theme repeats itself at other campuses across the country, with very few exceptions. Also, officials at some universities are trying to set rules for off-campus living accomodations in an effort to guarantee the good conduct of students living in local citizen's homes. . . The situation is acute enough to prompt the Assoc1at1on of Universities and Colleges of Canada (AUCC) to initiate a study of student housing right across the country. Financ_ed by the Central Mortgage and Housing Corporation, the stud)'. 1s to co!l• sider all aspects of the housing question ... psychological, phys10logical and social effects on students.

Perhaps because the tree is one of the greatest gifts of a Creator ever-mindful of the welfare of mankind. It conserves the soil, protects it, and adds to its fertility. It tempers the cold of winter, the heat of summer. It lessens the violence of the gale. It helps man to build shelters, to furnish them, and to give them warmth. It provides clothing for his body, medicines to cure his ills and ease his pains. From the tree comes pigments that please the eye and win the artist a livelihood. There could be no symphony orchestra without the tree . Through paper, to which men commit thought, knowledge is shared and the mind enriched. Except for lichens, mosses and ferns, the tree is the o~dest plant on earth. One of the first to appear was the conifer. It may have evolved in Canada because it was here, to the north of Lake Superior and in the Laurentian Mountains of Qu~bec,. that some of the earliest rocks and sohd soil were thrust above the shallow seas and soggy bogs that formed most of the earth's shape. The tree was the first plant to develop a stem that would not wither and die each year as did those of its predecessors and companions, the club mosses. It struggled into being duringthe carboniferous period some 200 million years ago. It is fitting that the leaf of a tree should be the national symbol of Canada. Whether or not the most appropriate species was selected may be open to argument, but that we should have chosen a tree ·is not. For the stout stem of the tree supports not only its burden of billowing boughs, but also much of the weight of the Canadian economy. Upon our forests, more than any other single factor, depend our financial health at home and the extent of our foreign trade. One out of every three dollars we earn abroad flows from the harvest of the forest. All Canadians: whatever their job or location, share this wealth. The tree is one of the Magi of man's universe. Its gifts are many, its favours manifold. It has always been so, and if man, its trustee, is faithful to his obligations, it will continue to be so. Where the tree dwells, man has a chance to live a bountiful, happy life. Where there are no trees, life is as barren as the landscape. Give thanksfor the tree and in giving thanks grant it the mercy of protection. �Page 6 THE ARGUS anti anti-calendar Evaluation Fails to Evaluate September 18, 1967 Full Time Finance From a humble beginning, the University branch of the Bank of Montreal has grown to be of any use.

The plan to produce such a guide on the Lakehead campus was initiated at the end of the last academic year by then Argus editor Don Colbome. He designed a questionnaire v.:hich was mailed to all students. The responses were collated by J eannetty Gall .whom the AMS appointed as Course Guide editor. Well and good. I accept that much time and effort has been expended in preparing this publication and that it was prepared with the best of intentions. Here I intend not to deal with the intentions or to discuss the merits or otherwise of course eva:luation; but I do intend to examine the ''Course Guide'' as it is published. Quite ineffective A publication as controversial and important as a course guide deserves extraordinary care in preparation. It is obvious that in the case of Lakehead's guide this care has not been taken. The finished result is sloppy, carelessly researched, and, in , its present fonn, quite ineffective. A few statistics may illustrate these points: Last year's Calendar listed over 300 courses; the "Course Guide" deals with only 158 courses. What happened to the rest? Of the 158 courses dealt with, the breakdown is: Insufficient response 71 No Response 52 No comment at all 7 Evaluated 28 .., Total 158 One can see, therefore, that the "Guide" evaluates less than 10% of courses offered . . Some departments, notably English, Anthropology, History, Economics, and Geography are not included at all in the "Course Guide". An editor's note mentions that "~e hope" to publish another edition of the "Guide" to include these. Under present circumstances, I hope not. i· -The "Course Guide" contains a total of 45 pages, including the difficult-to-describe cover. Of these 45 pages, only 15 are devoted .to course evaluation. •The first run of 500 copies is expected to be followed by a second run of 1,000 copies. This will involve a total cost of about $675. And a supplemental edition, too? I· I Few courses evaluated These points go some way to demonstrate the ineffectiveness of the publication .. .it simply does not evaluate enough courses Course in Local Government Planned Aspirants for municipal off. ice at any level, incumbent members of elected bodies, those interested in learning the structure of civic government, university and high school stu( dents .. are invited to take a six-week course, one evening a week beginning early in Octber at Lakehead University. r Sponsors of the course are the Ontario Conference on Local Government, Lakehead University and the Lakehead Chamber of Commerce. Consult the main notice boards, opposite the Information Booth for times of all happenings. The chairman of the Conference on Local Government, J.T.A. Wilson of Toronto, commented the course had been held successfully in Peterborough and Brantford and more Ontario communities were adopting the project. The main objectives behind the program were: : To interest the citizenship generally in municipal affairs by increasing their general knowledge in this area; : To provide knowledge to those who would serve on public bodies, either elected or appointed; : To encourage prospective high calibre candidates to serve in their municipal governments in one form or another. Mr. Wilson was pleased to announce that the Peterborough Trades and Latour made it a general principle that it would not support a candidate for civic office unless he or she had taken the course. President of Lakehead University, Dr. W.G. Tamblyn voiced his complete support of the six-week conference study to give people the opportunity to learn more about the concepts of government at the local level. Dr. C.M. Johnston, Lakehead Chamber of Commerce president, said the Chamber was pleased to be associated with sponsor~ip of the course. He stressed the course was be- ing offered to anyone in all walks of life . . not just for business and professional people.

And there is a purpose behind this little piece of desegregation. Tomorrow, at high noon, (or twelve semicolon zero zero if you prefer) the most important meeting of this entire first week will take place. You may think that the different faculty assemblies were important. That is where you are mistaken. The faculties could manage, and probably quite well, without those meetings. But the organization this meeting at noon tomorrow concerns (the organization most often called Lakehead University's most important society) cannot, and I stress, cannot function in the corning year without the support and help of the entire student body, and that means YOU.· Of course the organization which I am referring to is the ARGUS, student newspaper of your university, full member in Canadian University Press, and the ship that only your support will keep from sinking (great mixed metaphor or something).

Take the appropriate steps to make sure that you are not one of those left sitting forlornly on the steps of the University Centre only listening to the Gettysberg Address . the address Good morning. It is my privilege to be able to address you for a few minutes this morning. You know, I make this address to firstyear students every year, but my heart never fails to swell with pride as I look over the mass of eager, ignorant and anonymous faces, and I never fail to feel proud that so many students care to fill our coffers with their hardly-earned dollars. And your presence will enhance rny .. .. your ... . university, and we shall get more research grants which will give us a good name, and more and more dollar~ from the surrounding community and local mdustries which are so close to our pockets .. . hearts. You know, this is our university; it is as much yours as mine - well, nearly as much, anyway. Because here we are one big happy family, no matter whether we are administration, faculty, or . .. or ... ah ... students. But as you know, every family .. well, nearly every family, anyway .. has a father, and you should look upon me as a father; and every family has a mother . . and that is the registrar and the director of finance and the director of admissions and the comptroller and . .. well, you know, all those people; and ... where was I?

But you shouldn't think that we think that you are inferior. Oh no. Because we are all babies at one time or another, aren't we? .. well, most ofus, anyway. Now, I want to say a word or two .. well, quite a few words actually • about why you have come to university. This may seem strange, because no doubt you think you know why you are here. But father does know best, doesn't he? Where was I? Ah yes ... why you're here. Well, of course , it's obvious that you're here to get a degree. Some of you may get educated in the process, but that can't be helped; a few of you always slip through. But as I ~a;; : going to say about degrees .. what a difference those letters B.A. or B.S. mean after your name! Do you realize .. I'm sure you all do .. that those two little letters can mean a difference of thousands of dollars after you graduate? My word, yes! Of course, while you're here, you may hear a lot of talk about a "community of scholars" and a "search for knowledge and truth" .. but a word of warning. Look at the people who talk about these things. Nearly always they have long hair and beards and buttons about Vietnam and they're the sort of people .who are always demonstrating and if they don't have long hair and placards, why, then it's obvious that they are pretending to be what they are not and we aren't stupid enough to be fooled by them, are we? Of course we are. Besides, these people probably couldn't define "knowledge" and "truth" if you asked them. And besides, things such as knowledge and truth are alien to our society and are for misfits to talk about aren't they? Of course they are. Which brings me to the next point I want to make .. and it's a rather important point, too. We must at all costs keep good relations with the surrounding community. Some stu-• dents .. and I must stress that they are a ra• ther silly minority .. don't seem to realize how much we rely on the community for our very existence. Where would our building programme be without outside support? And our student housing? And the transportation situation? Yes, we have much for which to be thankful. So we must be very careful and be on our best behaviour when we are on display, and that is all the time. Well, I'll say no more about that now. Probably later in the year. Oops! I'll have to cut my address shortly because I have a meeting with the Board of Govemcrs in a few minutes, and I can't waste my time talking to you stupid frosh, can I? But what a pity we can't continue this discussion, because it's so interesting, and besides this exchange of ideas is so valuable, isn't it?

College editors, the new leftists, the hippies, and if NEWSWEEK magazine is to be believed, even the ranks of the middle class 'are _sounding the call to legalize a movement which shows -all signs of becoming at least as widespread as did drinking during the prohibition years. There is sound .argument for legalization. One of the best cases for pot is a comparison with alcohol in terms of their effect on health,· the degree of addiction, the effect on the individual's ability· to control his body and mind while under their influence, and finally their social repercussions. Same high as alcohol Pot produces about the same kind of 'high' as alcohol. Both would equally affect a person's ability to drive a car, for instance. Pot also increases the the appetite . But smoking pot does not produce the discomfort one feels after drinking large quantities of beer. And there is· no pot equivalent to alcohol's cirrhosis of the liver. which causes over 2,000 deaths yearly in Canada, and ten times that number in the United States. Death attributed directly to pot are almost unknown.And another big plus in marijuana's favor is that there is no retching from overindulgence in pot as in the case with alcohol, and pot users experience no hangover the day after. Marijuana is non-addicting, the experts point out. Contrast this to the condition of alcoholics who are tied to their booze for life, and who the Alcoholics Anonymous organization reports are 75% incurable. By D. John Lynn Canadian University Pot advocates point out the marijuana is that such a move difference in effect on the mind would be impolitic for the polibetween pot and alcohol.

Misconceptions Socially, our society has less to fear, from pot than from alcohol. Pot, which fi!ncourages great introspection on the part of the user, does not encourage him to act out his emotions in public - the spectacle of the party drunk dancing around with a lamp shade on his head would not be a feature of the pot party. Nor do pot users tend to acts of bravadocio as do alcohol. drunks. Crimes of violence, rapes, fistfights in bars, argumentativeness, and such like drunken behaviour are also not the pattern with marijuana users. In order for a politician to advocate its legalization, he must first assure- and convince each of his voters that marijuana is indeed not a narcotic as is heroin and the others. This in itself would be a large chore, because it is not simply a case of stating the facts of the case rationally; it is a matter of breaking down the deep-rooted prejudices of a people who hav.e been led to believe that a pothead is just one step from being a dope addict with the archetypal monkey on his back. There is no sane politician on the face of this earth who would advoadvocate giving the nation's youth such a dangerous toy.

Lectures for Psych First year Psychology students this year will be part of an experiment at Lakehead University. Educational television will be used, along with tutorials,- to teach the introductory Psych course to an estimated six hundred students. PatWesley, lecturer in Psychology, will be the main "actor" in the new series, being recorded on campus in the newest and mostmodern television recording studio in Northwestern Ontario. Included in what Mr. Wesley describes as "the whole Psychology department;s effort" will be other faculty members lecturing on areas of specific study of each member, as well as outside people from whom the students can greatly benefit. "The aim kept in mind during the setting-up period of this televised method of lecturing is good teaching," said Mr. Wes• ley. "I think that we can achieve good teaching with this unwieldy number of students by intelligent and careful use of television." Coupled with the televised lectures will be regular tutorials, in which the students are divided into a number of primary groups for discussion of a problem, stated at the end of the lecture, pertaining to the lecture. In this way there will be no loss of the personal contact so necessary to successful educational experiences. The advantage of television teaching has been proven in the past by the marks of the students subjected to this method. While marks in many cases have remained static, there have been many cases of widespread improvement of marks, while in no caseshave the ll@ri<.s on the whole gone down. Television teaching is a more efficient method o( diseminating information, since the lecturer can cover more in the given time period. This is due to the necessity of better organization of material to be presented. The lecturer must thmk and plan more carefully. His presentation is also better without the stress of the classroom." In our case, we have adopted television teaching for its efficiency," said Mr. Wesley. The added possibilities with this method of instruction are great. It will now be possible, with the aid of the television camera to take a class of first year students into a clinical interview room, without disturbing the interview, or to present complex and delicate experiments which would otherwise• be impossible to set up in the ,classroom. At JXesent, the five Psych Ia6 classes will view their lectures in the Library building. The permanent installation of viewing sets will be in Wing D South, in rooms on the north corridor of the main building, and in one room opposite the Registrar's office.

Both one act plays run one hour each and contrast in theme as well as in language. The Centennial Players are made up of 24 actors and six stage attendants, all Canadian University students. Our students will be looking after billets for them. They will have preyiously put on these plays at the Youth Pavilion at Expo September 11th to 14th inclusively. The Centennial Players company is sponsored by the Centennial Commission, Over 300 students were auditioned in 30 universities from coast to coast. The final auditions were made by Mr. Pierre Lefevre Director of l'Ecole due Centre Dramatique de l'Est in Strasbourg. France, who has come to Canada to direct the company here. The student players will tour more than 20 Canadian universities beginning at the University of British Columbia, September 16th and ending at Memorial University on October 15. On Monday, October 9th the famous French company "Theatre du Nouveau Monde" will present Moliere's "Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme". This is one of the top drama companies in Canada. The tour is sponsored by the "Festival Canada" organization, the same group who sponsored Les Feux Follets, the Armed Forces Tattoo. The colorful and hilarious tale of "Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme" centres around Monsieur Jourdain, the wealthy but common lout who attempts to buy the manners, the graces and the aura which he thinks will admit him to the charmed circle of the nobility. This play has lost none of its satirical bite in the period between the 17th Century when it was first produced and this outstanding production of today. Though produced entirely in French it is such a broad farce that the French language used in the play shouldn't be any barrier to enjoyment. The TNM has been invited three times to participate in International Festivals: the F es ti val of Dramatic Art in Paris, France 1955, the Brussels World's Fair in 1958 and at the Commonwealth Arts F es ti val in London in 1965. Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme played a two week run at Expo 67. On Monday, October 30th the famous French Canadian Chant• euse Monique Leyrac will appear at the University under the sponsorship of "Festival Canada" . She is at a sensational point in her singing career and has recently been highly acclaimed in France, United States, Russia, as well as in her own country, Canada. She won first prize awards in Poland, Belgium and French Canada and has made a number of recordings. Miss Leyrac is singing at just about every major university in Canada. On Friday, November 10th the Chantal Masson vocal group consisting of 25 singers most of whom are music students ~t Laval, will be at the University. The group is sponsored through the Centennial Commission. They gave four concerts at the Canadian Pavilion in late July. They are touring Laurentian University, the University of Manitoba and Toronto University in November. Our students are expected to look after billets for them. On Friday, November 24th, Donald Lautrec and Ginette Reno will appear at the University. They are sponsored by "Festival Canada" . Donald Lautrec has recorded over 70 songs in his young career including the officialExpo theme song "Hey Friend, Say Friend" which sold over 70,000 copies. He is extremely popular in his native Quebec, particularly amongst the high school and university crowd. He has appeared several times in Paris and has recently signed a four year contract with Barclay Records there. He recently appeared for a week at the "Semaine de la Chanson'' at the Expo Theatre. Ginette Reno is a glamorous young French songstress who looks a little like Sophia Loren. She sings with equal ability in English and French, specializing in singing jazz, blues and pop• ular songs. She began her career in 1960. Following several tours and successful appearances in cabarets, night clubs and concert halls, she was offered a recording contract with Apex• Records, from which her albums to date have, overnight, established her as a star among Canadian "chanteuses". One of her records has sold over 90,000 copies. The critics in I 964 named her "discovery of the year". Due to the generous subsidies received, the costs for attending all five of these productions will be $5.00 for students . It would be advised that tickets be procured at as early a date as possible since the seating capacity in the theatre is not great. Watch for dates and places of ticket sales in future editions.

'hopefully before the end of Centennial Year! Plans for an $840,000 athletic building were unveiled August 4 by Lakehead University PresidentDr. W.G. Tamblyn. The huge gymnasium complex will accommodate 2,200 persons for basketball games and 3,200 for non-athletic events, Thus it will be the largest gymnasium-auditorium building in Northwestern Ontario, far eclipsing the seating capacity of Lakeview High School and the Lakehead Exhibition Coliseum. Lakeview seats 1,500 the Coliseum, 1,800. The firstof a long range, three phaseprogram of athletic buildings, the field house will take the form of a steel girder-concrete block gymnasium complex. The complex will house equipment rooms, locker rooms, showers, offices, and an athletic library as well as. the gymnasium. . Although the gymnasium's purpose is to accommodate the majority of the University's athletic program, this will not be its sole use. It 'is the University's hope that this building will become the neutral floorfor athletic competitions in NorthwesternOntario. Furthermore, many regional non-athletic activities, such as the Science Fair, conventions, art shows, convocation and concerts could be held in the building. It will differ from the standard athletic gymnasium in that, spectators entering at ground level will be 12 feet above the gymnasium floor and hence walk down to their seats. Seating capacity will be 1,400 in the fold-away bleachers with additional standing room for 800. When a non-athletic event is scheduled the gym floor space can 'be utilized to seat a further 1,000 people. Arts I Arts 11, lll, IV Science I, Applied Science Science 11, Ill, IV Forestry (Diploma & Degree) Business Administration Diploma & Degree Technology - Engineering, Ryerson, Mining, Library Nursing Diploma & Degree This year the Teacher's College will participate in team and individual competition but will not be eligible for the overall intramural champ• ionship. Last year's intramural champion, tl1e Foresters bolstered by the addition of 80 first year Fore st Tech. students, will be out to defend the title and attempt to increase the 30 point spread they had over runner-up Arts 11, lll and IV. Intramural points are accumulated on a participation basis, plus the standing of teams in the individual events. Each group can have as many teams and as many participants in individual sports as they desire. A complete breakdown of the point system will follow in another edition of the ARGUS. The following are the sports events scheduled for the fall term: Golf The last signing date for the Intramural Tournament is September 29, 1967. Five man teams will participate with the best four to count. A 27 hole tournament is scheduled for October 1, 1967 at the Strathcona Golf Cours.e, top candidates to be eligible for the Ontario Intercollegiate Athletic Association tournament in Hamilton October 5, 6. Cross Country The new sport attempted this year, will begin workouts daily on September 25, 1967. Races will be held September 30, October 7 and October 14, 1967. It is expected that all persons anticipating playing intercollegiate sports will be present, as well as others interested. Fastballers Fare Well In the maiden season of the Nor'Westers Fastball team in the Intermediate League, they have fared well. After a slow start the L.U. squad battled their way to convincing wins over Videon and Great Lakes. By the end of the regular schedule Lakehead had tied with Videon for the fourth and final playoff spot. The Nor'Westers then went on to defeat Videon three to two to attain the playoff berth. Videon, an established club, did not make the playoffs because they could not beat the young Nor'Westers. L.U. won five . of the six games played between the two clubs in regular season play. In the semi-finals, Lakehead met the Great Lakes Papermen and forced the best-of-five series to the limit before losing the series three to two with one game tied. The Papermen, who eventually won the Intermediate crown, admitted that ~he Nor'Westers gave them the most trouble. RIGHT OUT? "It is the hope of the ·Athletic Department that this Field House will become the sports centre of all athletics and athletic events in Northwestern Ontario," said acting Athletic Director Henry Akerval. "This building is the first in a series that eventually will encompass facilities for every major competitive sport played at the University level, and all sports played primarily for recreation. These facilities will be used on a year round basis, and unless they are being used directly by the University, they will be available to others for tournaments and championship games." The long-range plan of new facilities brings up the distinct possibility, Mr. Akerval predicted, that national and even international sporting events could come to the Lakehead. "Our central location has always been a major asset in hosting sports events," he added. "This may all be speculation at the moment but it is a distinct possibility in the future as facilities expand to meet the needs of our campus and our area." Gymnasium floor markings will, at any one time, accommo■UTA-Alff date eight doubles badminton, or three volleyball courts, or two tennis courts, or two full •,size basketball courts, or one centred intercollegiate basketball court with glass backboards and two score time clocks at opposite ends of the building.

Great to be back at the old homestead. To start the year off in fine fashion I'd like to give a wrap-up of the events of the sumirer, as well as make a few predictions. •••••••••• The Lakehead U. Athletic Department was right on the beam again in mid-August when they released this year's intercollegiate hockey schedule. I'm sure everyone is so interested in hockey in August that they cut it out of the local papers. Let's have some coordination between press releasing and the season when the schedule actually takes place. •••••••••• Congratulations to Bill Shannon, last year's athletic coordinator at Lakehead. Bill has been named coach of the Lakehead Mustangs football team this year. Good luck, Bill. •••••••••• Mr. George Birger is Lakehead University's new athletic director and basketball coach. Congratulations to Mr. Birger, for being named coach, and congratulations to the Athletic Department for finding him. My football precictions, unlike my baseball predictions, seem to be infallible. (San Francisco and Baltimore to win the pennents?) I predict that Green Bay will win in the N.F.L. while Buffalo seems to have the edge in the A. F .L. Green Bay will win its second Super-Bowl in January. Notre Dame will top the American college polls while I see Queens in the east and Manitoba in the west as Canadian University powers. Oh yes, the C.F .L. (just about forgot the bush league). Saskatchewan will waltz, will £rug (my own cliche) to its second straightGrey Cup victory. •••••••••• As indicated by the previous football coinmen ts, I hate "Canadian Pro" Football. It's dullsville. I'm not the only one who sees it that way though. The C.B.C. will televise over one hundred N.F .L. games this year, with the number of C.F.L. games drastically cut. The C.B.C. could be putting itself in such a position as to be deported to France "a la De Gaulle" for such an unpatriotic (but correct) move. •••••••••• I would like to apologize to one Bob Bond Sr. for my comments on Cassius Clay during a summer issue. I realize Clay is wrong for not wanting to defend his country but his Government is going after him in an unfair manner. The boxing world') I-hope, will collapse. Clay had previously saved it from ruin. What kind of justice strips a man of his titles as soon as his back is turned, after that man has done as much as Clay has done for boxing? •••••••••• This past summer was a fine one for junior golfers from this area. Jay Paukkunen won the Canadian Junior Golf Title and Manfred Brovac was a member of the Manitoba Junior Golf team. Eat your heart out Moe Norman. • •••••••••• I think the Lakehead, and Fort -William in particular, has the right to be called the baseball capital of Canada. For the second straight year, the Fort William American Little League All-Star team capt tred the Canadian title. They represented Canada at the World Series in Des Moines, Iowa, and won Canada's first tournament victory there. The Fort William National Little League team lost a close game en route to the Ontario Championship but never gave up. •••••••••• Once again the Senior Fastball League of Fort William led by Bill Bond held its annual tournament. This has to rate as one of the nation's top fastball tournaments with more and better teams entering each year. Superior Cartage, the Canadian Huskies, and the Suprej ;e Cleaners, three Lakehead representatives, all gave good accounts of themselves in the tournament. •••••••••• Speaking of baseball, this year the Lakehead Senior Baseball League Pennant was won by Italia. One of their key players in the play-offs was Al McLean of Queens University. In that series, ·probably more of the games could have gone ~he full nine innings if the Fort William Stadium had had lights. 'I hope that next year, for the sake of Senior Baseball which is again becoming popular, lights will be installed. •••••••••• An indication that baseball is on the upswing is the fact that ~finnesota Twins' area scout, Ed Cox, was able to send six boys ~o this year's Twins summer try-out, and three were called back or the second day. OLIVER ROAD ED CLIFF ESSO SERVICE For all your car needs Gas otl lube tlreR & acoeseorrea Motor tune up & repal"rs Next to university TEL. 344-2231 , George Birger A highly-qualified basketball coach from the United States has been named the Athletic Di rector at Lakehead University. George Birger, B.S., M.S. has assumed duties as basketball coach and athletic director after an impressive career in college and high school south of the border. The acting athletic director and hockey coach Henry Akerval has stepped into the newlycreated position of Director of Intra-Mural athletics at the University. He will continue as hockey coach. Bill Shannon will remain as Athletic Co-ordinator. The appointment meant a big step forward for the athletic program according to Henry Akerval. "Mr. Bir"ger is the type of person and has the type of qualifications that will give our program depth and direction," said Henry. "Our rapid growth is a tremendous challenge but it is also a great potential. We were lucky to find a person with George's background and with his direction. I am sure that we will be able to tap that potential and produce an even more effective varsity and intra-mural program that will bring great credit to the Uni versity and the Lakehead in general." Mr. Birger, 38, obtained his B.S. in Education and Physical Education at Northern State College and his M.S. in Education and Administration at the State University of South Dakota. During his undergraduate years, in addition to his regular academic endeavours, he was active in basketball, football, track, baseball and wrestling. He was assistant coach of the State University of South Dakota Varsity Team and coach of the Junior Varsity team while working towards his M.S. degree. Then from 1963 until thi"s year, he was Athletic Director and Head Basketball Coach at Soda Springs Idaho High School, where in 1967 he won the Idaho Basketball Championship. His lifetime coaching record consists of 249 wins and 77 losses. His outstanding coaching ability during his stay at Soda Springs speaks for itself, however. In 1963-64, Soda Springs won one and lost 16 games. The next_year, with George as coach they won 10 games and lost 12. In 1965-66, they hit the top with a 22-3 record. Last year the Soda Springs Team became the Soda Springs Champs, Conference Champions, State Tournament Champions and Associated Press Champions, losing only two games en route. Mr. Birger was optimistic about his new position and the whole program of athletics at Lakehead University. "Lakehead University has been extremely fortunate in having people like Henry Akerval and Bill Shannon in the important formative years. I am sure that with their support and background knowledge our program will flourish. I am especially impressed with our record of championships from last year. Our hockey team, ski team and basketball team all won championships in their competition and that is an enviable record." The recently-announced new gymnasium brought further wordsofpraise fromMr. Birger. ''Of course I am very optimistic about bringing a good overall program of basketball to the Lakehead University. But the new facilities will be a great boon not only to the basketball programs but to all varsity and intramural programs and I am sure that the interest the new building generates will s~ead throughout the area to all comers of the sports world." Mr. Birger is married and has four children ... "one short of a basketball team'' as he puts it.

Although Ontario's hated grade 13 departme_ntal _examin3:tions were written forthe last time in June, there 1s still no sign that grade 13 itself will be abolished. E~ucation Mini~te~ William Davis has effectively skirted the issue of abohshmg grade 13 by announcing all the major recommendations of a recent commission on grade 13 had been adopted. But the main recommendation of that committee was the abolition of grade 13 itself. .Orig~nally intended t? give all Ontario students first year umvers1ty at low cost, 1t soon became a barrier to university when over-crowding in the senior institutions became acute. Grade 13 became a screening year which weeded out all but tOJ.? stu~ents. Many. students who were capable of attending a umvers1ty, and domg well, were eliminated because of extremely high examination standards. After a few years of this trend, grade 13 examinations, set by a central body and written simultaneously throughout the province, became a psychological barrier themselves. Creativity and expression in the classroom gave way to rigid adherence to the timetable so students could be best prepared for the all-important finals. Now that the examinations are abolished, and each school will set its own; teachers are being encouraged to make more use of discussions, seminars, projects and other less restrictive forms of learning. NEMISSA, the Women's society of Lakehead University, derived its name from an Ojibway term meaning sister-hood. The organization is a bond of union among the full-time female students of all faculties, and it performs services in the interest of the university. The executive • President Sandra Knight; Vice-Pres. Irene Kidd; Sec.-Treasurer Joan Stuart; and Public Relations Head Barbara Coghlan, wish to welcome all new female students to the happy hunting ground, and to extend a cordial invitation to the Nemissa Initiation Night which will be held during the last week of September. Yearbook Infiltration Charges Denied by CYC OTTAWA (CUP) .. The executive director of the Company of Young Canadians has denied that his organization is the victim of a Marxist take-over. Alan Clarke said there were some CYC members with leftist opinions, but there had not been a take-over or attempted take-over by any group. The charges that a Marxist group was infiltrating the company were laid in the Montreal Gazette. The Gazette used for the ~asi~ of its story an arti_cle, published in Scan, written by a V1ctona CYC member, Lyn Curtis. Scan is a communistoriented magazine published in Toronto. The article referred to "the rotting middle class" .. a phrase which the Gazette reportedly took exception to. Curtis's article suggested any radical who wanted to for. ward his ideas and gain substantial backing should join the CY_C. He said there was a leniency within the organization which allowed the members to do almost what they wanted. He also said that he was pleased with the executive director's handling of the Gazette's charges. "1:he official CYC position has improved greatly since the last time we played one of these little games. This time the national office has stood behind the members and defe~ded their actions. This shows a definite growth within the organization," Curtis said. Lakehead University is again publishing a year-book and like last year it will be increasing in size and in quality. The 1968 edition will consist of 216 pages in black and white and in colour. Approximately 40 of these pages will be allotted to individual photos of the undergraduates. Pictures of professors, plus all events of the school year will appear. For those who failed to place their orders for year books at registration, orders can be placed with Miss Sharon Matchett, AMS Secretary, or at the switchboard. The cost per copy is $5.00 for all students and faculty. For those who purchased last year's yearbook the publisher has infonned us that the books will arrive September 21. Davis Appoints Another Commission TORONTO (CUP) .. Education Minister William Davis of Ontario has appointed a government commission to chart the course of university education in the province into the 1980s. The commission's role will be to define the future role of all post-secondary institutions ... universities, community colleges, vocational institutes, teacher's colleges ... and to report back to the government within eighteen months. Although it is not a royal commission this special commission's report is to be published. The commission will be composed of three full-time and ab_out 12 part-time members, including one student representative. It was the minister's wish that the commission "clarify ... once and for all that no able student in this province will ever be denied the opportunity to proceed to higher education if he has the desire and ability to do so." He noted he had not yet completely satisfied student demands for more government assistance with the costs of education, but said that student protests over the issue have been carried out responsibly. Referring to protests voiced by the Ontario Union of Students last year he noted: "While, like most members of the adul~ community,_ I do not necessarily enjoy it or even encourage 1t, I accept 1t and feel an obligation to work with the students in resolving the issues which have led to it." " .. .I would acknowledge that the philosophy voiced by the students may differ somewhat from that held by the general adult community and would take us down the road to free higher education faster than our economy would seem to allow." Ju~ging from past performances Davis has a penchant for committees. In a recent speech in the legislature on the subject of Ontario grade 13, he referred to no less than 43 comm-. ittees, past, present, or to be appointed. oR1vE-1N Commencing with the appearance of Volume 2, Number I of the ARGUS, this space is reserved for classified advertisments of all shapes, sizes and varieties.

The memorandum states: estimate incorrect "The Fort William Tr.ansit Company have maae an exhaustive study of the buses both to and from La.kehelid University. It was originally hoped that there would be approximately fifty students per bus load." The average use of the bus service ranges from twenty students per load to one student ·with the whole bus to himself.

The Manager of the Transit Company also stated that unless La.kehead University was prepared to subsidize the company for their losses, they would be forced to cancel the service. He also pointed out that the coming cold weather would likely induce more transit traffic. This would reduce the actual loss per day. first year of service The original agreement between the University and the Transit abthority in Fort William was months incoming. Red tape and cold feet hampered negotiations between the two. There were no buses running directly to the University from Fort William last year. The bus service was initiated on September 18 this term. From the beginning it received light usage. HC?wever. as stated, the cold weather should see business picking up. This matter of transportation will be discussed at the October 3 meeting of the University Committee. October 6, 1967 Lakehead University has seceded from Port Arthur. The announcement was made in a broadcast monitored by the P.U.C,, and is believed to have originated from a clandestine radio station in Wing D. At one point, the broadcast proclaimed the establishment of the Grand Duchy of Sugra. The announcement stated in part: "This is a victory fo.r the people led by our glorious Grand Duke William. It ls a defeat for the capitalist warmongers and their lackies. J.,<mg live the Grand Duke I" The Grand Duchy will be ruled by a revolutionary council consisting of one Grand Duke, two students, three faculty and a partridge in a pear tree. World reaction has been mixed, as reports are still streaming in from all parts of the globe. In exclusive ARGUS interviews with major world leaders, the following statements were recorded: President Jockstrap: "This is obviously the work of a small communist minority. The Free World must use every facility - including peaceful means. if necessary - to bring the aggressors to the conference table.•• The President added that "526,000 Military and Economic Advisors, with artillery support, were being airlifted into the area." General Dieu Gall: "Vive le Grand Duchy librel" Meow Tse Tongue: "This is a decisive triumph in the heroic struggle of the valiant and oppressed people of La.kehead University.•• The Prime Minister. who was feting a visiting dignitary• was not available for comment. It is rumoured that Mayor Paul Hatpin will seek support for economic sanctions against the Grand Duchy. Included in the list of prohibited commodities would be: Christmas cards, blue vein cheese,. salt petre, buttons, and• suspenders. It is hoped that the inaccessability of essential items such as these will crush the rebellion within a few hours. However, the Grand Duchy has negotiated with the u.s.s.R. for supplies, and reports of steppedup air activity in the Soviet Union indicate that these negotiations have been more than successful. Preparations for the long struggle ahead are already being made within t.he Grand Duchy. and the frontiers have been closed to all traffic, Trenches, which would stop all but the most rugged of vehicles, have appeared in the principle roadways. Military excavations are obvious in many places. and strategically placed observation posts erected. Military action in Vietnam and the Middle East has decreased noticeably as the world tensions focus on Port Arthur. In the U,N. the lights burn late into the night as the representatives of world powers meet in closed session. Only the Croation delegate, who caught cold while digging ve_getables in his garden last Saturday, was absent from the debate. The delegate, Mr. Gudenov, 43, married wit~ four children. has been in the diplomatic service for sixteen years. and grows many of his own vegetables. Other developments in tile crisis include the sighting of unidentified submarines in Thunder Bay and reports of sporatic guerrila action in and around the Sleeping Giant. As we go to press, no resolution to the crisis is in sight. Perhaps the most astute analysis of the situation came from the C,B,C. 's Stanley Birch: "It is neither difficult or easy to see the final result. On the contrary. And above all good night.•• Expect Confrontation A recent memorandum from Dean Rothney concerning degree :r-equirements and eligibility for graduation has caused a •great deal of indignation and complaint among third and fourth year Arts students. The main complaint seems to be the apparent contradictions between guidance received from faculty members and from Administrative officers. At a meeting of third and fourth year Arts students in the Auditorium last Friday, a commission was set up to study the problems arising out of this dictum from the Dean of Arts. Informed sources say that the commission cannot accept.,.,- · Dean Rothney' s memorandum. At press-time, all indications would seem to point to a meeting with Dean Rothney. President Tamblyn, and Mr. Ayre Registrar, tomorrow at 1:00 in the Auditorium. All Arts 'students, particularly potential graduates, are strongly urged to attend this meeting and lend active support to the commission. �Page 2 October 5, 1967 THE A~GUS Forestry student fined, barred from AMS functions L "Yes you can contin~~r A second year Forestry student has been fined fifty dollars by the Judicial Committee of the AMS. The Judicial Committee heard this case in its first session of this academic year, held Thursday, September 28 in the Great Hall. Chief Justice Bert Baumann presided over the Cou:tt. The charge was kicking a proctor on the night of Septem ... ber 16 without cause or provocation. Technicalities hampering this first sitting arose out of a misunderstanding on the part of the defense counsel Mr. Ian Thompson. The name on the summons apparently was incorrect. After a court recess for ten minutes, during which time the defendent could not be contacted, Chief Justice Baumann called an adjournment until Friday, September 29 at 12:30. The original misunderstanding arose when prosecutor Art Looye called the court's attention to the fact that the mistake in the summons could be corrected in court. Defense counsel was unaware of this fact, and consequently the defendent had not appeared. When court reconvened, the defendent was present. The defendent entered a plea of guilty to the charge as read by the clerk. In the course of the trial to determine the extent of the charges, the court called three witnesses, all proctors. Details of the offense were outlined by these witnesses. When the defendent was called· to the stand, he stated that he was in a semi-intoxicated state at the time when the violation was committed. Upon seeing a friend of his in a scuffle with a proctor, he impulsively intervened by kicking the proctor in the chest. After recession, the court called the accused to the floor and proceeded to pass judgment. The seriousness of the charge could not be over emphasized stated Chief Justice Baumann. This point was stressed above all. The court also pointed out that intoXication of any kind is not tolerated by the students at La.kehead University. The court, considering the emotional factor in the case, levied a fine of fifty dollars on the student charged. In addition, the accused was barred from all AMS functions, whether on or off campus, until after the Chrtstmas holidays. .edllcat1on.!' • This booklet shows you how you can get financial help.

The same thing happens twice more. Five minutes of ecstatic applause. The group has exhausted its repertoire of three songs. The applause thunders on. The group sings the same three songs agai~ acknowledges the applause,. exits beaming and exultant. The Travellers folk song group is born, This was Toronto, 1953. After fourteen years and half a million miles, the Travellers have become recognized as Canada's foremost apostles of Canadian folk music. Indeed, apostles of music in general, including one thousand songs in sixteen different languages. The Travellers have wowed full houses half way around the world, including six cities in Russia in 1962, various partA of G re at Britain in 1964 and 1965, as well as alloverNorthAmerica. They have appeared on numerous national television shows in Canada, the United States, and the United Kingdom. The number of concert performances that they have presented is too great to account. Universities all across Canada have echoed the sounds of the Travellers' music, and Lakehead University is the next in line, October 30 to November 4 when the Travellers will ·appear live at the University Theatre. they play Canadian The most striking feature about the Travellers' performance is the fact that they play Canadian. Of the seventeen thousand Canadian folk songs collected and recorded in the Dominion Archives in Ottawa, the Travellers have polished, revised, and refined some two hundred of them. As far as they are concerned, there are no sacred cows that cannot be satirized through song. For example, they sang one song called "National News": Paul Hellyer' s determined to cut down defense, But Bob McNamara says "Hang the expense I As partners in NA TO, we'll split fair and square, You give us the skies, we'll give you the air!" This song, though now dated, is reportedly being revised constantly to keep it up with the times. But it indicates the style of song which this very versatile group presents. However, they do· not restrict themselves to one style of music. Running the gamut from a capella traditional folk songs to Indian and French-Canadian folk songs to the latest folk-rock type sound, the group shows the colour, range, depth and beauty of Canadian music. banjo-playing dentist Of the original group from the early fifties, only one member remains. Jerry Gray, dentist in the straight world, is the banjo player, main emcee, and baritonetenor vocalist. Jerry fell in love with the banjo after hearing Pete Seeger in the early fifties, and has played it ever since. "Audiences have become more discriminating," says Jerry. "They want something which is entertainment, which will provoke them and excite them. Folk music has this power. Often, words which could not be spoken, or meanings which could not be conveyed by the spoken word, can have a new emotional imp act through a song." A native of Toronto, Jerry has managed so far to "enjoy the financial security of a dental practice and the excitement of show business" simultaneously. The girl of the group, Simone Johnston, adds a full dimension of "woman" on the stage, by her attitude of dignity during any performance. A double cultural heritage of Russian and French - Canadian make s Simone's presence felt' on stage. She plays no instrument but makes up for it by adding greatly to the show through her versatility of voice. "Too much of the stuff we do is candy floss,•• she complains. "Be ca u s e we want a Canadian image as all-around nice guys, we straddle the line between social protest and mass popularity. In trying to make our material palatable to the public, we run the danger of refining the guts out of it. I believe a folk singer ought to be preaching in music, hot and strong, about what is happening i n the w o r 1cf" today." And adding Quebec separatist songs to their repetoire an d protesting against the u. s~ intervention in Vietnam would make Simone happy. Joe Lawrence is tne baritone, comedian, · and bass player with the Travellers. Add to that list composer as well and it makes one fine entertainer. An American by birth, Joe feels that a II).odern approach to folk music will produce a more consistent and viable musical package, despite the fact that it may irk the traditionalists. "Folk music is to me the means of reaching the public with an individual's particular phi· losophy. And various ideas can be presented to any group of people at any particular concert.'' Joe's talents help to brighten up any stage. Tall, lanky, baritone, sometimes - buffoon, Ray Woodley rounds out this list of great musicians and entertainers. Playing a driving rhythm guitar and adding spots of humour between songs, Ray's infectious good humour carries past the mike to whatever type o audience is watching or listening. "The effect of the Canadian songs we present is astounding", Ray recalls, "I'll never forget a comment made by a university student after one of our concerts in Halifax: • I didn't realize we had so many Canadian songs'. We've got our work cut out for us Sing those Canadian Songs . ., . And sing those songs the T r ave 11 e r s will, com~ . October 30.

In case you weren't there for the ground breaking ceremonies. the ARGUS. upon hearing of the impending event. sent a news and photo crew to the scene. and now brings you this report. In the midst of pomp and ceremony; steeped with tradition and aged with excellence, Her Highness Queen McBamett opened the latest edition to the Lakehead University Campus. Looking immaculate in her official attire, which, for the fashion conscious of L.U., included a yellow tiara, flowing robes of satin and burlap and dainty shoes befitting such an honoured occasion, she flourished her Award du Merit and then. brandishing her Order of the Golden Jackhammer, she commensed work and dug one helluva gaping crevasse in our driveway I Amongst cheers from the crowd, and catcalls and heckling ,from the ARGUS staff, the work progressed, until approximately 1:00 p.m., when it appeared that the project had been completed. As the thousands of students on hand slowly retreated to the congenial atmosphere of the cafeteria, and as local motorists appeared to try out the new facilities of their friendly neighbourhood university, by leaping across the abyss, Her Highness reappeared, to the joy of the remaining crowd. and after re-examining her handiwork, declared the new structure condemned. On the serious side, this action by the Physical Plant merits all the bitching that we, as students here, can devote to it. The "dummy police" as they are known in beaurocratic circles, constitute a general pain-in-the-ass to every dl'iver on campus, whether he is from the administration, faculty or the student body. Complaints have been pouring in from all sides in regards to these "slowdown'' devices, and hopefully, shall continue until they are removed. As a solution, may we put forth the following proposition to the brass in the Physical Plant: why not merely assign one of the roving members of the Physical Plant to keep an eye on the Indiannapolis aspirants instead of leavin~ these menaces about. Undoubtedly, as the ''trenches' continue to deepen, from traffic over them, there will be a trail of springs, axles, exhaust components, bumpers and the odd transmission left in the wake. When this happens, (and it will) I suppose that we'll have to pay the local junk man a small fortune to clean up the mess. ch. lettersCafeteria to Suggestions the editor What does it mean? Dear Sir: Dear Sir, does the juice flovv? If students pay ten dollars to get plugged in, will they get turned on? '!-, It would appear that the campaign to allocate parking outlets is being run the same way as last year. And many will recall how that turned out to be mass disorganization and semi-scandal. As some students may remember, the outlets were rented last year. apparently on the understanding that the juice would flow as long as the umbilical cord connected car and socket. Later it was discovered by some rather observant student that the meters were only warming the cars fifty per cent of the time. The controllers of the electrical feed were unable to provide satisfactory answers to the angry questions posed by students on days when the temperature tail-spun into the minus minus range. The actual arrangement last year, as theARGUSmanaged find out after considerable digging. was that the power was turned on for half an hour and then turned off for half an hour. The only problem we could see was that no one seemed to know when the spark of life was on and when it was not. This year, informed sources seem to believe that the plug-ins will be on for fifteen minutes at a time. and then off for the same period. Things are definitely looking up. But what about the brass's parking lot? Our usually reliable sources are of the belief that juice flows there not just part-time, but all hours of the day and half of the night. And when you consider that there are roughly twelve times more students than faculty and administration. you begin to question motives and ethical considerations. We are supposed to b€: equal participants in this "community of scholars". Obviously we are not equal actors in the Administration's "comedy of errors" . • 1J.l:O .. I am presently reading Vol. II No. 2 of the ARGUS with acute interest. But I must mount my mighty typewriter to inquire about Mr. Co !borne' s "My Bag•• column. It is an exceptional person indeed. who. after taking one or two psychology courses at mo s t. (from the "highschool-like education offered here"), can sit down and diagnose an individual with such rare skill and. knowledge as Mr. Colborne thinks himself to have done. Express ions such as "student bureaucrat syndrome", "insecure power trippies", "feelie-wheelie bag", "intense ego fabrication". and "classical situationist role indentification" are certainly impressive enough. However, can Mr. Colborne, (or is it Dr. Colborne now), really think himself qualified to practise that which is reserved for an M.A., Ph.D. or M.D. in psychology? ? ? I am amazed that he should even make the attempt. I remain. with only one psychology course credit, a "Schitzoid Student" May I draw your attention to the fact that the prices of food and drinks at our University cafeteria are comparable with those at some downtown restaurants and coffee bars. The fact would become more obvious should we c o m pa r e quantitatively and qualitatively the price of each item available at our Cafeteria with the prices of corresponding items at restaurants. As far as I know. the Univeristy Cafeteria is under the joint management of the Administration and an outside contractor. In other words, half of the profit goes into an outside drain. Why it has been, passes my understanding. Pepsi slot-machines _(the bottle type) were removed from the Hall soon after classes commenced 1as t winter; hot meals were only - available during the day to those who · had the ability to pay; soup was dropped from the menu almost throughout the summer; and. last but the least, business was closed altogether when there were still people working on campus. All such measures were taken apparently for the interest of the business. not of its patrons. The situation at the Uni- versity Residence (under the same management) was no better. Students complained continually. I recall that one evening last year the tension was so high that some students were carrying placards protesting against the quality and quantity of the meals. In fact. it was a demonstration on a mini-skirt scale. I believe that it is not the intention of the Administration for affairs to be conthe margin of profit had been well trimmed. It would be much better if the University took over the business entirely and ran it on a limitedprofit basis. or. better still. if the A. M. S. shoulder the responsibility and run it on a non-profit basis in the same manner as that of McGill University, where coffee is obtainable at five cents a cup. As our University is exp anding rapidly, it is of fundamental importance to improve present conditions in the cafeteria to meet the need of all students. If some positive steps could be taken toward this direction, the benefit would, indeed. be not only to the students and those who patronize, but to the entire University. Sincerely. Sze-chung Yuan �October 5, 1967 THE ARGUS Page 5"' "academic atmosphere" the lack and how to get rid of it by D. John Lynn(Canadian University Press) OTTAWA (CUP) -- Universities across Canada, beset with a heavy influx of students, are only with great difficulty able to find adequate funds to provide adequate teaching staff, increase classroom space, augment library collections, install labs, and to provide other purely academic needs to adjust to the increased demands of a population bent on educating its young. The universities' meager resources can barely stretch to provide them with the means to get an education. It cannot stretch to the point where the students will have the service13 which comple~ent a good education -- sports and recreation facilities, student union buildings, dining facilities, and, most critical this year, housing. The above items draw a low priority in university construction. But add to this the general housing shortage in Canada at the present time, particularly as the population shifts from the rural to the urban base, and the situation becomes critical. Over the past summer all available housing in many centres was filled by people shifting from rural areas. This September undergraduate students returned to university to find apartments and rooms were simply not available for them. University residences had been booked solid since early August. University officials recognize the problem, but there is little they can do. Most universities prepare off-campus housing registries, but these are stop-gap measures at best, and in some cases have led to all kinds of abuse by both students and administration. A long-term solution advocated by some is student co.operative living. by Rod Phillips (Argus News Editor) This paper, as its title That there is little desire sure that there are many pretentiously indicates, con- for learning at Lakehead other causes more compfex sists of my comments -- University is, I think, mani- than those which I have men1 hope informed -- on aspects fest, The fact that at least tioned.

Marshall McLuhan ARGUS In your book Understanding Media, you point out the superior qualities of . television de man d s "involvement '' in what is being shown. Do you believe that the knowledge g a in e d via television ls of an enduring quality, and that the "involvement'' created will be of a lasting nature? That is in comparison with other media. McLUHAN .._ When you asked the question concerning the effectiveness of different media in imposing or imparting of knowledge, there is no comparison between the older, say, written forms, and the new electric forms, so far as their power to impress and impart are concerned. The visual sense (which was used mainly in the civilized ages of literacy) is the only sense we possess that gives detachment, and not involvement: it is the one un-involving sense that man possesses. All his touch, and taste and smell and movement and sound, these are all profoundly involving experiences. •But sight is easily the least involving, the most detached of our senses. Therefore, as in a mere matter of the imparting of knowledge, there is no question that the written word is the least effective in making an impress. But the child sitting in front of T. V. is undergoing X-ray: T. V. is not a pictorial or visual form . October 5, 1967 Last July the ARGUS had the extreme good fortune of being able to obtain an exclusive interview with Professor Marshali McLuhan, Director of the Centre of Culture and Technology at the University of Toronto, through Day Laban. Mrs. Laban is a graduate of Lakehead, and manager of the Bookst.ore of campus, The fr!llowing is her introduction to the interview, "Professor McLuhan's views are among the most controversial and most discussed t.opics of our day. In his books, The Medium is the Message, The Gutenberg Galaxy, and Understanding Media, he makes us take a close look at the "electric age" in which we live. His philosophy had revolutionized many people's attitudes towards mass media's effeet upon culture, particularly the implications of electronic instant communication, Some go so far as to say that McLuhan is the 'original' philosopher of our age, while others are convinced that he is putting us all on. "This interview was transcribed from a tape - a tape being what McLuhan would call an extension of the fingers and the pen. That the following resembles a monologue more than an interview is due to the fact that the interviewer became more and more at a loss for intelligent questions to ask, and consequently decided to listen rather than to interupt Professor McLuhan's train of thought. "The intertiiew ended rather abruply when Professor McLuhan was called away unexpectedly. An extremely busy man, he was trying to finish two new books, Culture is Our Business, and From Cliche to Archtype (co-authored by Prof. Wilfred Watson of the Univ~rsity of Alberta, Edmonton), before leaving for Fordham University, New York, where he will occupy the Albert Schweitzer Chair in the Humanities, My concern has been to study the kind of sensory involvement that each medium of our world possesses, and many people have paid no attention to these things, so they are always puzzled when you point out that television is not a visual form at all: they just cannot imagine what you could be talking about. Television is an X-ray form! When you are sitting in front of T. V. you are being X-rayed. And the little iconoscope-tube is a very tactile form, it is like sculpture. It is a series of little dots on the screen;like a Serault painting, or like Expo: a series of little pavillions, for which the viewer has to provide the story-line. The viewer on T. v. is enormously involved. And so, when a T. V. generation of children arrive at the school or college, they are absolutely alienated by the non-involvement of the teaching. They regard it as purely "square" and they just reject it; the drop-out is a normal feature. The generation-gap developing between teacher and student, between parent and child in our time is enormous, and it is all within the past ten or fifteen years. Nothing like this ever happened in human history. And the involvement of electric forms is so complete as to decivilize Man, it turns him back into a tribal and group-oriented person, with altogheter new needs and problems. For example, the Negroes, who have lived in our midst for a long time without being admitted to the official culture or literacy in any notable degree, are suddenly liberated by T. V. and radio and such forms, and demand a freedom and a use of their freedom in this new culture, ·and they demand to be provided with identities. A tribal man, in the pursuit of identity, knows only one method: violence. Violence is a means of achieving identity, that has been familiar to people in many ages; all nations boast of the great testing of their sinews by war and conquest, as a growing_-up process. Children grow up by a kind of violence in that way.... But, in order to become civilized, literate, we did an enormous violence to our integral human nature, from which we are now rebounding or re-acting in the electric age of the integral, the all-atonce. People never know what is happening, they only know what happened in the previous age: the rear-view mirror is the only resource of any culture. The artist, however, is the one figure who demands •that people look at the present; that's why he is called a "kook'' or a "nut". "Sensible" people don't ever look at the present, they look at the past. At the immediate past, not away, way back, but just fifty years ago. Nostalgically. It's reassuring and comforting. And so the whole difficulty in our time is in getting people to look at the present sufficiently to survive. �October 5, "1967 Page 7 THE ARGUS on ARGUS You point out the inability of the television-educated child to "see ahead". Will this affect the analytical ability of generations to come? have mythol<lgy and they have their dances, and songs, and magical formulas, which include the whole of the human past. We, now, today, live magically and mythically, we no longer think that way, we just live that way. So, if you are asking whether the present curriculum is going to have any future: the answer is NO I McLUHAN ARGUS You ask about seeing ahead. What we call "seeing ahead" means looking into the rearview mirror. And it's just a joke: the ability to see ·ahead is zero in the human being. Because he is terrified of the present, let alone the future. And what is called "the future .. is always a rear-view image, a nostalgic image, whether you start with Plato or move on to George Orwell. What they call the future is always the old culture just behind them. So the ability to look ahead in the modern child is no better than that of the great men of the past: it is an ability that does not exist I ARGUS Will the television-educated child still be fascinated with such things as History, or Philosophy, or Literature? McLUHAN Nol Simply because they are all present simultaneously. There is no "past". Under electric conditions there is no past, there is only an all-at-onceness, like Expo: everything at once, all the cultures of the world at the same moment. So history ceases to exist; that is, history as a kind of perspective, over-the-shoulder, retro spec t. This is meaningless. Today, any child can go to any part of the world, by one means or another, and inspect the archaeological remains or the cultures of any part of the world. There is no question of history retaining any of its former authority: history belongs only to literacy. Tribal people, instead of history, No, I'm not really ask:l.n~ that, but I was leading up to the question: "Do you believe that if this type of interest will cease that this will improve or hamper Man's creativity?" It seems to me that it is almost a return to the medieval way of life. . . . McLUHAN Much earlier: tribal, primitive. We are there now, it is not something that is going to happen to us "some day". We have already achieved this return to tribal primitivism. You don't have to be reminded of Watts or Detroit. It's here. And Yorkville Street, or the Hippies or Haighters and so on are only a very slight indication of what is actually around us, and of the depth of these changes. After all, even the age of Sigmund Freud was _an age of return to the most tribal memories. ARGUS In that case, where are we going? McLUHAN We are not going anywhere I We are already in this very deep. Oh, allright, if you want an answer to where you are going: we are going to orbit. There are no more roads, there are no more paths and there are no more goals. In an electric age, there are no goals. Everything happens at once. You are involved in the total human situation simultaneously, from all angles simultaneously; you cannot have a goal. Goals belong to a quite different culture of the static, literate type. So: we are going into orbit. Now, when you go into orbit in a capsule,_ you have to take the planet with you. That means you live in a totally programmed environment. And a feature of the future, which is already here, is already indicated in the capsule: we use the environment as a teaching machine. Instead of putting teachers and students and classrooms inside environments, we program the environment itself as a teaching machine.... That's where we are going, but that is also where we are. We're there now. This·hasalready happened. It is not something that is going to happen: it happened. Some time ago. But we don't lilce to pay attention to the present: it's terrifying I The only thing that reassures is the nostalgic, the "old stuff". That is why people always hark back to the old situations. Like Westerns. The ordinary person today nostalgically lives in Bonanza-land. It's safer there. LAKEHEAD UNIVERSITY UBRARY ---OBSOLETE BEFORE COMPLETED? �r"age 8 October 5, 1967 THE ARGUS civil liberties denied Censorship Charges Fund for fine initiated Four Lakehead University students initiated a project late last week to raise money to help pay the fine of a man Unfounded convicted in Toronto on a charge of obstructing the police. Charges of censorship in the library circulated among students last week. The issue arose when an undergraduate student asked at the circulation desk for a photo-copy of pictures in a recent issue of "Realist" magazine. The pictures are said to depict Walt Disney characters engaged in activities of a sexual nature. The student, who requested that his name not be printed, was asked to return to the desk later. When he did so, he was informed that the librarian, Mr. Belton, wanted to speak to him before photo - cop i e s were made. The student replied that he wouldn't bother. Later it was reported that the Realist was not on the shelves. In an ARGUS interview, Mr. Belton was asked about the censorship issue. He replied, "I would emphasize that I did not say that we would not do the photo-copy. I merely wanted to speak to the young man." When it was pointed out that usually photo-copies were made without this formality, Mr. Belton explained that he was legally able to make only one photo-copy of articles under copy-right without the author's permission. The "Realist" pictures apparently came within this classification. Mr. Belton explained that the photo-copying facilities are provided for people who want research material copied, and "I needed convincing that it (the Realist feature) was for research.'' He said . that he suspectetl the student wanted a photocopy just to show friends, and he doubted that the copying facilities should be used for this purpose. The man, John Napiorkowski, was fined $25 after he intervened when he saw a policeman beating up a young man. The policeman called Napiorkowski a "f . . . ing foreigner." When Napiorkowski grabbed the policeman by the arm, he was arrested. The complete transcript of the trial was printed in the "Globe antl Mail" of September 28, and can be viewed in the ARGUS office. The students, Karl Goodwin, Chad Hannah, Owen Marks, and Rod Phillips, believed that the transcript showed a miscarriage of justice. For instance, Napiorkowski was denied his basic civil rights. A notice, soliciting contributions to help pay the fine, was posted in the cafeteria. At press-time it is not known how much has been collected. The project has had radio and press coverage in the Lakehead. static regression And men were. phony. And they hated themselves and spent their time telling how contented they were.

DATELINE CANADA Policy voice for U of W students WINNIPEG (CUP) -- The Students' Association of the University of Winnipeg has been granted two seats on the policy steering committee of the University's Board of Regents. Tom Mercer, student council vice-stick, said September 25 that the move resulted from executive negotiations with the administration during the summer months. "We wondered if maybe two were enough,'' he added, The committee, which recommends policy to the board of regents, already has representatives from the board itself, and from the faculty of the University, David Campbell, senior stick, and Alan Goddard treasurer of the Students' Association, will hold the seats. ' Mr. Goddard welcomed the move towards open decisionmaking, in that it would clarify the admf,nistration's plans for expansion of the University. Mr. Goddard's department is studying the possibility of incorporation, and considering a study of union building plans for the Students' Association. Mount Royal plans four-day week CALJ?ARY (CUP) -- Students at Mount :e,.oyal Junior College this year have achieved the working man's dream -a four-day work week. The new system, which includes ninety-minute classes and fourteen hour days, is planned so students a11d faculty can mix in unscheduled Monday sessions. Last year there were complaints that students finishing one-hour tutorials and regular classes were forced to wait for their classmates to finish three hour labs, before they were able to go on to the next class. Now students may go directly to private conference with instructors instead of wasting time and classroom space. Original plans to schedule tutorials and seminars on l\fa11days have been scrapped so the day may be completely unstructured, One drawback to the new system is the need for some high school teachers to cover a definite amount of material for departmental examinations. They are worried the loss of a day will effect their work for them. MacDonald tries same hoax, loses Ronald Ivan MacDonald, affectionately remembered at Lakehead University as "Plump David", has been charged with uttering forged documents at Kimberley, B.C. Senior students will recall the sensation' caused at the Lakehead just two years ago when this same man had his fingers slapped for using forged credentials from the University of Missouri to gain employment at L. U. Dr, David MacDonald, as he was known then, was head of the Psychology Depart- ment here for two years be-. fore a Toronto newspaper· reporter caught· wind of a story concerning him, It was originally thought that MacDon al d was the Gr~t Impo~tor -- a man whose illicit ·escapades have gained world renown, as well as providing the subject material for a Hollywood f ilin. MacDonald had not even approached the magnitude of this notorious character's romantic grandeur in 1965. But from all appearances he is still trying. India has language problems NEW DELHI (CUP) -- Canada is not the only country with its language problems -- India has a language issue more threatening to that country's unity than the current French-English battle in Canada, The issue erupted this month with the resignation of Indian External Affairs Minister M. C. Chagla over a cabinet decision to phase out English as the language of instruction in universities over the next five years. India at present uses the English language in administration, education, government, and civil service. The government plans to phase English out of the universities in favour of regional languages in five years for undergraduate level of instruction, and ten years at all other levels. Chagla said such a move would lower academic as well as administration standards. He said he is one of those who believed "Hindi must ultimately replace English and play the unifying role that English plays today" But he said this change-over must be gradual so as not to undermine the unity of the country. School Board officials in KJ.mberley were informed September 26 by a former Lakehead resident that the man they had hired to teach psychology had been dismissed from Lakehead University for "irregularities in application forms". The Port Arthur News-Chronicle that his name this time was James Colin MacDougall from McGill. The News-Chronicle also reported that the Kimberley school boa'.rd are pressing charges against Macl)pnald, He may not get off as lightly this time as he did here in Port Arthur. A short trial, a $500 fine, and a day in the local clink was all he received, • While at the Lakehead, MacDonald was very active in many Port Arthur institutions. He did psychology work for St. Joseph's Hospital and ,for the Ontario Hospital. After his trial in June I 966, he said he would return to the United States to finish his education in psychology. He also said he would work in this area' "in a field in which I am intereSted ". Then he receded into the memories of students, friends, and curious spectators. Seats on Senate, but no nominees Editorial sparks fund withdrawal PHILADELPHIA (CUP-CPS) --A retired businessman has withdrawn a $250,000 bequest to the University of Pennsylvania because of an editorial in the student newspaper calling for the resignation of the university's president. James Miller Glicker, who attended the Penn Law School objected because the newspaper has Hplayed it Hard on th~ ears" in its treatment of the president. The paper printed the editorial last spring and reprinted it thJ.s fall. It suggested that President Gaylord P. Harnwell had accomplished a good deal in his 14 years as president but it was time for him to step down in favor of a younger man. Glicker said he heard excerpts of the editorial on a local radio station and that it offended him and his wife deeply. He told members of the Daily Pennsylvanian staff that having excerpts from the editorial "broadcast to 30 million people" was the wrong way to handle the situation. Glicker suggested that the newspaper staff ought to consult alumni, particula:r;J.y wealthy alumni, before taking such editorial stands. "Penn will pay for this," he added, saying he would give his money to another Ph,iladelphia school, instead of the university, "When you speak over the radio, every 'nigger', everybody else, .hears the whole damn thing," he said. "All kinds of garbage mop this up and all the Communist types love it." Glicker said he didn't particularly like Harnwell but that he wouldn't have done what the paper did. He said he had met the president six or seven times. CRESTED UNIVERSITY JACKETS Wool - Nylon - Poplin CRESTED SWEAT SHIRTS Long and Short Sleeve VANCOUVER (CUP) -- No nominations for student senators have appeared yet at UBC. The senate, the university's highest academic body, decided to allow students into their sanctum in a meeting last May. The move came after Y.ears of lobbying by students and proponents of academic reform. UBC is one of the last universities in Canada to admit student representation to its governing bodies. . Nominations for the positions have been open since the first day of registration, Elections are planned for or before October 31. Un~er ground rules established by the senate, any student candidate would have to have attained at least second-class standing in a full program of studies in the winter session preceding his election. In the AMS-supervised elections a separate ballot will be given to students registered in the faculty of graduate studies. The ballot will contain only grad. student candidates. Undergraduates will elect three other senators on another ballot. The candidate getting the most.votes will hold office .for two years. Candidates placing second and third will be a senator for a year. BLOOM'S FABRICS & LADIES WEAR Imported Fabrics for formal, casual and sports wear 23 Cumberland St S.

In an interview with Mr. Henry Akerval, the ARGUS was assured that Lalcehead expects to become a strong contender in cross-country meets next year. He sums up the situation for this year in these words: "~oss-country •racing . at L.l.l. is still in the embryonic stage. We did receive invitatidns to attend •meets this fall at Bemidji on September 30, and at Brock Univers,ity. It was also suggested that we CASH! for your- textbooks sell those books!

FOLLETT COLLEGE BOOK COMPANY • Chicago might participate in the Ont a r i o Inter-Collegiate meet. But at the time, we lacked one basic requirement necessary to attend these meets -- we didn't have a team." Since then Mr. Akerval has either pleaded with, cajoled, or '.shanghaied ten of our athletes about campus to form our soon-to-be-famous cross-country team. These stout-hearted lads train daily by running over Lake head's 2.05 mile course. Mr. Akerval rates this course as easy. "A good course has variety -- up hills and down hills over a varied terrain," he said. "I have to say ours is an easy course, for three quarters of it is clear straight-way. How.... ever, it is being lengthened to tp.ree mileE! to -fccommodate the N.W.o.s.S.A. meet on October 28. I believe the lengthened course should present more of a challenge.'' COURSE NEEDS MARKING The course was studied in your the minutest detail possible, while running it. The main complaint against the course is its complete lacl~ of markings. For example it is quite easy to make a wrong turn and be forced to ask an A &W car-hop for directions. Another suggestion which may make the course safer for the runners is that they be supplied with safety hats and water wings; the former being for protection against errant golf balls on the section of the course adjacent to the Port Arthur Golf and Country Club, while the latter being a precautionary measure in case some unfortunate runner strays from the unmarked path and unexpectedly finds himself in the McIntyre River. But take heart crosscountry men. Inasmuch as misery enjoys company, you shall find that you will be crowded off the course each Tuesday and Thursday. On these ·days, all members of the hockey, basketJ;>a.11, and ski_ teams must run the course as part of their preseason conditioning.

This year Frank Mahovlich is reportedly signing for $40,000. Fine. But where does this leave Al Stanley in the wage bracket? Everyone knows that the "pensionless wonder" is the real inspirational ·leader of the blue and white. Each time the other Leaf players see Stanley on the ice they are inspired (or must be inspired if they want to win). Stanley, always a very talkative, yet exceedingly modest person, is famous for his humour. Perhaps his best occurred after last year's Stanley Cup game when he was questioned about his retirement. Stanley's answer was something like: . "I think 111 keep playing. I wasn't the slowest player out on the ice tonight." My only question for Stanley is "Who was the slowest?" But let's get back to contract talks. In my humble opinion, I think AI should receive at least 20 grand a year just for putting on his skates and another $10,000 for not being the slowest man on the ice. Since Stanley also made famous the poke check, he should collect a $5000 bonus plus royalties on that check. Also, with Al playing, each other Leaf rear guard should receive a $5000 bonus for playing with the veteran. Sometimes Al seems to give them more trouble than opposing forwards. One sometimes wonders if Mr. Stanley really is Jack Benny in disguise, although Benny is only 39. Dr. George Men-ill by Larry Hebert The accompanying pictures show members of the Athletic Board at Lakehead University. This Board is instrumental in determining the athletic policy ofour university. Perhaps their gr~atest project to date is the building of the gymnasium complex which will shortly be completed. For this, I congratulate them. Next, I hope they will vote in favour of athletic scholarships or some type of grantin-aid for athletes at Lakehead. Such a vote is definitely against the thought of most Canadian universities but I think our Athletic Board is modern and open-minded enough to take and stand by such a decision. Mr. Harry Elmslie *** This year I think the Athletic Department and the SAS should try to bring some of the athletes who speak at the Legion's Sports Dinner to the university. They could possibly invite these athletes over for an afternoon assembly preceding the dinner. *** Another example of one of the rising stars in local hardball is Don Latimer. Don is in his first year at Lakehead. He played with the Italian Club that won the local hardball championship. Don earned the award of Super-Sub with his many clutch performances. *** In a recent letter to the Times-Journal, George Seagris ' B r Jt ,- lt 1d t- ry n- ,m n- in JS- as rou be ach On s of and the ?re- ts came up with a novel idea for local high school football. He proposed that the high school teams schedule some of their games for Sunday afternoons in lieu of the absence of rhe Redskins from t:he football scene this year. I personally think it is a great idea. Some coaches think there would be too much competition on Sunday afternoons with the NFL telecasts. I don't agree. Most girls are not interested in the NFL, so they would gladly come out to see friends and boyfriends play. And since girls are the objects that attract girl-watchers, there would be no trouble attracting males. Others feel that -the students would not go for the idea since they would not miss any school to get out to see the football teams in action. As it is now, the students only get out to see home double-headers during the week. By having each senior team play only one game or two at the most) each year on a Sunday, I think the students would still be happ'9'. In the future, I think the S.S,S.A.A. should seriously consider the possibilities of scheduling Sunday games at both stadiums, alternately. This year the s.s.s.A.A. also had a new format for the annual bowl game proceeds of which go to the United Appeal. The top three senior teams in each city played each other while two junior teams from each city tangled. Port Arthur came out victorious 4 -- 0. This new format seemed to make the game go faster and created more fan interest. The idea of five stop-time quarters (figure that one out, Math majors) was good. The F. W.

Contradictions prove inefficiency by Chuck Grieve (Editor) AMS Treasurer Don Lees smiles grimly at the second meeting of the senior Arts students. Lees acte~ as chairman of all the meetings. No Calendar. Requirements changed. The memorandum. It all adds up to one thing. Confusion and inefficiency where there is no room for either. What powers do faculty have at registration? They seem to be there for some purpose. The instructions said to consult faculty members to ensure that courses to meet the requirements were taken. Presumably these scholars should know what they are supposed to be doing. But according to the memorandum they are nothing but clerks. Clerks, to approve courses whic:h then must be approved by the Deans. But who is the Dean? With an impressive title like that surely he must be someone of great imponance and of inestimable value to the university. Why, just look at the implications in the memorandum. This one person is Dean, chief registrar, and probably bottle washer to boot. No wonder that they give him such a title. Who is his boss? God knows_. but rumours have it that something called the Senate tells him what to do. Who is the senate? The Senate is a body of people who call meetings every now and then to discuss the students and what is good for them. They are the ones who are z:esponsibleforthe academic requirements as laid down in the Calendar, the one that missed registration by two weeks. The ones who replied so sweetly to the Committee•s letter in a resolution of their own which said absolutely nothing but which did give some indication that they were actually there. This then is the elusive answer to the big question. The final power is supposed to rest in the Senate. The authority of the memorandum seems questionnble in this case, except that no one really ~ows what power the Deans do actually have.

Just where is anyone's guess. Mostofthem are disint•3rested in the Administration end of this big business cam~d education. Wherever the power does lie., at present it most cenainly does not lie with the students. But the students are being used as a scape-goat. Responsibility for an error made somewhere in the upper beaurocratic reaches of the Administration has been thrust upon the shoulders of the students. We will not be held responsible for someone else's errors. And in our present state we cannot effectively enaure future students that they too will not have this responsibility shoved upon them unless we are pres~nt where and when the errors are committed. Therefore we must have representation on the Senate. The Sen:ite cannot skin the issue by throwing morsels to the pack in the form of resolution sympathizing with the students but saying nothing. Nor can they put off the question by adjourning for two weeks as soon as the issue has been raised. If they had any respect for the positions of respona!bility which they occupy, they would have the decency to meet with the students and to discuss the problem. The Senate's resolution •endorses the review., already in progress; of the students' programmes'. They •succec,1 in snowing no one but themselves into thinking that this will appease the people for whom they deliberate. For this is not the issue. It is only the threshold of the barred door to representation. Too long has the myth of the Senate over-awed the humble student. We will not be- beaten back from our objective this time. supe~ hippy Upon numerous queries and requests into the •superhippy' faction on campus we have attempted to look into the 'flower children' who are apparently blossoming all around us. It looks as if these people have conformed to the university community rather well in that they 'tune-in' on T. v. lectures., are seemingly 'turned-on' by the social functions and occasionally 'drop-out' at the Crest. To paraphrase an old addage: 'It's not the beard and hair that makes the hippy'. Our down· to eanh friends like to raise hell., and that's about all. I have yet to see any real constructive criticism levelled towards anything. They make their views plain and then sit about snickering to themselves when they've managed to suck-in an unknowing frosh regarding the economic feasability of doing away with hoe-handle carvers. This is done through impressive terminology mixed with a less than general knowledge of a pseudo-vocabulary. Reminders of the week-end hipsters, and the summer vacation swingers are brought clearly into view and help to give this institution the atmosphere of Flin Flon High and Vocational Training Centre. This, which I might add., is one of their chief complaints. If what I have outlined to you now appears to be your cupof-tea., then the ingredients for the mix are as follows: add - 1 cup of the milk of human blindness, - 1 troubled childhood., (wherein Mom an' Dad just don't dig their groovy son) - a measure., (large) of suseptibility to established cop-out anists and crap pushers, - 1 heaping 'tea' spoon of genuine Yorkville imitation peads and plastic flowers., - 1 delapidated ego, (in need of strong reassurance) and a dash of Jean Paul Sartre just for speech flavour. Also available is the 'HIPPY KIT' for all discouraged young students who don't like messes and mixing. This allows for the instant type-cast effect., and will not, under any circumst~ces., be sold to mature individuals. I would like to add that these kits are available from anyone mentioning 'freak-outs' or 'love-ins'. ch. election meeting farce The ARGUS had to stoop to blackmail theA.M.S. the other day to ensure the rule of law during the A.M.S. elections. The A.M.S. Constitution states that candidates for the A.M.S. Council havetomeettheelectorateina town hall meing of this type was scheduled for the day before the election. Originally scheduled for 12~15 p.m•., the meeting was not announced over the public address system until almost 12.30 p.m. By 12.45 p.m. ., there were eight students and six candidates in the University Theatre. Chief Justice Ben Baumann, who appeared to be in charge., decided that the meeting should be cancelled because of the poor attendance. At this point., the ARGUS News Editor threatened that if'the meeting were not held., the ARGUS would declare the next day's election unconstitutional and invalid. The meeting took place. Eight students attended as an audience. Six out of eleven candidates spoke (one candidate., who had to fly to Montreal., had had toleavewhenthemeetingdidnot take place on time). Perhaps the A.M. s. should reconsider the clause in the Constitution which makes this kind of meeting mandatory. Either this., or it should organize the meetings properly. rgp.

" �October 12, 1967 THE ARGUS Page 3 Cuba - a country under pressure Approximately 80 people in .the University Theatre on SUnday, October 3, heard a lecture on modernday Cuba. The Rev.JohnMorgan,of the First Unitarian Congregation, Toronto, spoke on 'Journey into Revolution: Impressions of an April visit to Cuba.• Mr. Morgan, in the Lakehead to investigate lndianproblems, touched on many aspects of modern Cuban life in his lecture,but concentrated on the educational aspect. Mr. Morgan stressed that education in Cuba is much different from education in North America. 'I have mentioned the Cuba-U.S.A. involvement because unless you under stand what nine years of such tension can mean, you will not under stand some of the things you see and hear in Cuba; you would not, for instance, understand the meaning of much that goes on in Cuban schools, many of which I visited, both in the city and in the countryside. Canada faces no such problem; what we do for the most part in our schools is attempt to teach children and young people the fundamentals of learning -- reading, mathematics, history, science, geography and so on. We do not only try to prepare young people to live in a world of business and industry and science, but also to appreciate literature and the Don Colbome JS During registration week some students discovered rather blatant evidence of nonintentional racial discrimination in the machinations of the Student Housing Bureau. Being gutsier than most, they got involved. They expressed moral indignation in action. They might as easily have tried smuggling the Encyclopedia Ulcrainlana past the rent~-:-cop in the library. They forgot revolutionary aviom No. 1: Those who are not hypocrites are shit disturbers.• They were discredited and abused for taking independent action on a moral issue. The issue itself was pasteurized and homogenized by the university -machine in a manner that would dp L. B. J. •s P.R. men justice. Ask any administration or student functionary about it today and he will tell you that: (1) Those uppity students (read: niggers) have been put in their place; (2) The poor button-down minds who made that one little mistake have been forgiven (by the great computor in the sky?); (3) Everything will be alright next year; and (4) the university's good name has been preserved. Mellow Yellow _ This is roughly what happened: Student A (none want to be named ..... who wants to be weiner in a sausage factory) discovered 'white only' on the card he was handed by the Housing Bureau. He got student B to help him randomly check 'about 50' other cards in the file and, when no one was around photostatted 14 numbers which clearly stated social, ethnic,' or religious preference and one which said (of all the unlfkely things) 'No Preference'. A then spoke to Mr. Kerr, Dean of Students, about what they had discovered. 'Maybe I made a mistake,• he said later but he wasn't satisfied that the issue would be dealt with. He knew that the H.B. was uptight about his presuming to Judge upon their little empire; and he was convinced that the buck does not necessarily stop in the Office of the Dean of Students. So, A and B went to the Human Rights Commission where they discovered that, in this case, the Human Rights Code did not apply to educational institutions. (Aha) Their only out was a test case so they got friend C (coloured and from Trinidad) and friend D (WASP) to ask for accommodation at two of the homes listed as discriminatory. At one of them C was turned down and D accepted. At the other both were accepted. Thus armed they returned to the Human RiteA Commission.Meetings were held and planned between the University and the H.B. Commission and the waves will be smothered. Groovy. That's all they wanted. The issue was simple. The Housing Bureau was not aware of the implications of its 'expedious' policy of 'trying to match students to homes' by asking landlords what sort of students they preferred. The bureau was too thick to realize that this rather unsophisticated approach could at best reveal, and at worst create, the most vulgar sort of stereotype prejudice. Did they expect a subtle personality description (imagine: •yes, a gentle boy with a disposition towards stoicism and perhaps an interest in the sorreal school would feel very athomehere)orwhattheybegged for; Meaningless top of the head generalizations (Oh, a nice polish girl would be fine.) Enough said, this column has already explored the conceptual gaps of student bureaucrats. The issue is now effectively closed. The problem will be solved in time for next year. The pimple that remains to be pinched is the cruddy attitude taken by our local rednecks towards A,B,C, & D, students who dared to practice what they' believed in. They catalyzed an important policy change and went to a great deal of sincere trouble. Their thanks was to be branded as troublemakers and subversive.

The meeting lasted three hours and covered many topics of great importance to students. The chronic problem of insufficient seating in the cafeteria was again raised. The main cause of the problem seemed to be that students were using valuable cafeteria space for cardplaying. It was suggested that, to alleviate the problem card-playing be confined to the Great Hall, where tables and chairs would be provided for that purpose.

I would be The issue was the forthcoming provincial election and the university students' awareness of the candidates and issues. During the heated one hour debate, members of the province's 20 universities, community colleges and technical institutions argued the merits of a 'negative• approach, presented in a three-point resolutionbyYorkandCarleton Universities. This 'stay away' or 'spoil ballot' campaign was proposed to 'indicate dissatisfaction with recent Ontario party politics.' This drew varied criticisms from the floor, as did another resolution which had the OUS printing up leaflets stating 'the demeaning attitude of candidates' to the electorate. Terry Sulyma, a member of the OUS secretariat of last year• said it was time for 'action now', by using the leaflets, in order to make the public 'aware of the kind of garbage the politicians are talking.' According to Glendon campus. this was not the way to handle the situation. In a directive to help make students more aware, pointers on 'how to blow your candidate's mind', how to set up meetings with candidates and how to prepare and respond to a hostile audience were outlined. The discussion also swung to the Union• s support of a candidate who most closely represented a student-oriented stand. Don Posluas, McMaster University, found that 'it is pretty obvious that there is only one party near (the stand).• This party, (NDP), was the one to support. But Colin McKinnon, Universite d'Ottawa, disagreed telling the delegates, 'let's not ha.ve an OUSendorsementof a party that is doomed to failure, therefore lessening the chance to communicate with the new government.• The only part of the resolution receiving majority approval was embodied in a document entitled 'Mr. Politician -- tell me please.• The OUSexecutive effort contained the responses of leading candidates to pertinent questions. These questions would form the basis for the compiling of similar documents, to be drawn up by the separate universities and their candidates. All were to be submitted to the OUS office by Oct. 12 for press distribution Tom Faulkner, President of the University of Toronto, assured the delegates that his committee 'will urge the positive way', but that 'if we feel that the politicians have failed the province, then we will urge them to stay away from the ballot.• In the final count, the two radical stands were defeated: one by a nine to four count. and the other by an eight to eight vote.

Although it was an exciting experience for both teams, especially Boston, I still think there was something lacking in the whole affair. This can also be said for the past three Series•, for 1964 was the last time that the once powerful Yankees participated in the fall classic. I am not a Yankee fan., but when they are not in a Series., the fan excitement generated seems to be lessened. When the Yankees played in a series, everyone was interested. Either you were a Yankee fan or you were one of the majority who hoped for the National League representative., mainly because you wanted to see the great Yankee dynasty crushed. A team which happened to beat the Bronx Bombers was certain to be given the highest praise because it had defeated the best team in baseball and perhaps one of sport's all time great dynasties. Yes., the Yankees used to be an institution in the World Series, but the great New York baseball myth is no more. * * * * * Speaking of baseball., Dr. George Merrill of the English D~partment is certainly thrilled over the fact that Boston won the pennant. George 'Yastrzemskl' Merrill, a former Bostonian, Just has to be their number one fan. He feels Yastrzemskl will win the M. V.P. and the Cy Young Awards. The latter will be won for the two strikes to the bases he threw nabbing Javier in the Series, and Allison in the final set with the Twins. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Seems Pentti Lund of the T.J. in Fort William Is finally getting revenge on peop1e who bug him about the Boston Bruins hockey team. Pentti, a former beantown hockey player is glad that the Red Sox are beginning another of baseball's little empires in Boston., Just as the Celtics·colapse.

Seems some of the former players have indicated that they do not want to play anymore. This .League could be a very good one, and in the past some excellent games have been played and some fine basketball teams have been brought in for basketball booster night. It's too bad the fan and player support is so poor. Lakehead University had hoped to put a junior varsity team in the league this year but If It folds fewer University boys will be able to play basketball. Ron Sewchuk: of Arts lll was one of the golfers who could . have had his own caddy in the recent interfaculty golf tournament. Brian "Bozo• Traynor, Ron's friend, would probably have done the Job. Bozo is probably one of the best sports fans at L. U. * It will be a policy of this co}umn during the year occassionally to cover high school athletics in the Lakehead. Whether Dick Beddoes thinks this will hurt the Sports Section's chances of winning a trophy from CUP is not important. The main objective Is to give some publicity to some of the athletes who will in the future be a part of L. U. athletics. In Senior football, the Fort William senior race will be very close. Ted Murphy's Bears from FWCI have a strong running attack led by Bill McEwen., Rick Sandberg., and Bill Mork. The small but agile line is led by Dave Gibbons• Collegiate has a well-balanced team, but their big problem is too many players going both ways. Selkirk Rams, coached by Dave Sutton and Bill Crocker as usual have a strong defence led by Louie Riley, Doug Henderson, and Larry Kelly. The Rams offense has looked weak this year but has also had several injuries. Top players here are tackle Nelson Scobak and backfielders John Paddington., Bob Greer and Bob Reid. Coach Ab Slivinski"s Westgate Tigers have looked imp, ressive to date. The Tigers are led offensively by Bill Sutherland, Tom Coombs, Brian Depiero, and Myron Hladyniulc. The Big Orange defence is led by Bob Shedler, John Garland, and punt return specialist Wes Eyres. In the Junior ranks, the battle foI'. number one spot will also be very tight. FWCI, coached by Mike 'Tinker• Mithrush have a potentoffenseledbyKevinMurphy, Jack Fenton, and Terry Freeman. Their defense is also very solid. At St. Pats coach Peppy Dfka has a young but talented team this year. Their spirited offense is led by Rick Bragnalo, George Letowski and Larry Zullianello. A powerful defense is headed by a hard-charging line. Selkirk has a potential winner this year under veteran coach Lee Batstone. Mike Busniuk, Bill Poshtar, Bruce Malo., and Ron Zigman lead a powerful offense while Dave Jewitt leads the defense. At Westgate after three consecutive junior championships, coach Bill France had to rebuild almost his entire team. Although definitely weakened by the loss of so many good players, Westgate still is giving a good account of themselves. John Lotysz, DannisChuchmuch, and Greg Reid stand out for the Junior Tigers. At Winston Churchill under coach Roger Bradford the Trojans are having a fine maiden season. The key here, I think, is the great spirit of the new school The team itself is on the small side but they make up for this by passing rather than running most of the time. • by Jed Drew (ARGUS staff) Port Arthur Mustangs were defeated 26-11 by St. Vital Bulldogs Sat.

I agree with this observation and I feel it is no place more evident than in student's lack of support for the interfaculty sports. Each year the athletic department proposes a large and varied programme and it usually falls through because of the lack of student participation. If the people would fil)end as much time playing interform sports as they do playing bridge, we would be better off. If the boys would get up off their asses and the girls would hustle their bustles out of the overcrowded cafeteria and get out and play just one sport we would be better off. The only faculty which has good spirit and participate to the fullest extent in the interfaculty programme Is FORESTRY. As an example, they have entered three teams in the interfaculty football schedule. Can other faculties match FORESTRY'S participation and spirit in interfaculty sports? I say they can not. but I sure would like to see them try. And wherever you flnd a congenial crowd, you'll find Coca-Cola. For Coca-Cola has the refreshing taste you never get tired of.

Tremble VOLUME II, No. V LAKEHEAD UNIVERSITY, PORT ARTHUR, ONTARIO COUNCIL THREATENS The confrontation between students and administration at Lakehead University appears to have been resolved. At an 'informal" emergen.. cy meeting at the home of the University President, Dr. W. G. Tamblyn, it was agreed that demands made by the A.M.S. Council on October 13th. would be met. Events leading up to this emergency meeting are as follows: On Tuesday, October 10th., the University Senate met in session to deal with points raised by students. The Senate issued five resolutions which appeared to satisfy all student complaints. The resolutions were read by Dean of Students, John Kerr, to an emergency meeting of the A.M.S. Council that night, and clarified by Registrar (and Secretary of the Senate) Donald E. Ayre. A general meeting of all students was called for Friday, October 13th. Two hundred and fifty students attended to hear Chairman of the ad hoc committee, set up to deal with the situation, outline the committee's tivities to that date. ac- Julie Wierzbicki Chairman Julie Wierzbicki, Arts III, pointed out that a report in one of the Lakehead dailies that "students were satisfied" was a misrepresentation. "The students are not satisfied" she said. The newspaper report was based on the Senate resolutions. Miss Wierzbicki pointed out, however, that these resolutions were in fact only •rough drafts of the Senate • resolutions, and were not official. She also stated that students had great difficulty in interpreting the resolutions which were very ambiguous. Miss Wierzbicki continued that letters sent to students, which approved or rejected their courses, were also unofficial, and that courses would be reviewed again in April. This meant, in theory, that a student could get his programme approved now but rejected in April, and therefore be unable to graduate. October 19, 1967 EIGHT PAGES SIT-IN editorial Miss Wierzbicki then spoke at length on the long-term consequences of the present situation. BOYCOTT URGED At this point, the meeting was thrown open to coonments and suggestions from the floor. Debate was heated at times as students argued the pros and cons of accepting the Senate's resolutions and of taking stronger action. Finally Pat O'Neill,· Arts I, moved that students stage a token boycott of classes. Debate raged further until it was moved and passed that the A.M.S. Council, representing all the students, retire and vote on the boycott. The Council retired to an in camera meeting in the Board Room and returned after 50 minutes with a motion calling upon the Ad.ministration to comply with four points. The Council ( 1) requested the resolutions passed by Senate to be made official, (2) requested the letters sent to students to be made official, (3) requested that the duties, responsibilities, a n d functions of all university personel be defined, and ( 4) requested the establishment of a student-faculty-administration committee (two from each) to study the power structure at Lakehead University, and pass down its findings and any recommendations by January 30, 1968. T h e Council resolution stated that if these were not met by Monday, it would stage a sit-in in the office of the Dean of Arts, Dr. Gordon Rothney. by Rod Phillips (news editor) President W. c. Tamblyn day, President Tamblyn called the emergency meeting at his home in Fort William. Invited were members of the University Committee, although A.M.S. President Peter Young stated in a telephone interview late Sunday night that "it almost seems a University Committee because of the people invited, but it wasn' t an c,ff1c.1.al University Committee ~eeting." Invited were students Peter Young, Don Lees (A.M.S. Treasure), Don Cordingly (A.M.S. Councillor), George P a d d i n g t o n (University Schools society President), Pentti Paularraine (Arts Society President) and Don Bergman (Science Society President); faculty member D. MacKenzie; and administrators W. G. Tamblyn, J. Kerr (Dean of Students), D. Morgan (Director of Finance), and C. Smith (Director of Physical Plant). 'l'he ARGUS was not informed of the meeting. It was agreed that the students' points would be met and announced to a general student meeting on Monday at 12:30 p.m. - half an hour before the one o'clock deadline set by A.M.S. Council. Positive action, or the threat of it, seems to have provided just what was needed to force the Administration to meet student requests. But success, if there is success, is not due to the activities of the A.M.S. Executive and Council or to the ad hoc committee. These bodies have a record of procrastination and of taking ill-considered actions. In the beginning, the ad hoc committee, set up to examine the issues, was far too exclusive to have any popular appeal. This may have been due to the fact that the memorandum was thought initially to affect only third and fourth-year students. But when it was realized that the memorandum could also affect first and second-year students, the committee should have been modified accordingly. The members of the committee were unable to agree among themselves. This was painfully obvious at the October 5 meeting after the departure of Deans Rothney and Kerr. The mam cause of the meeting's chaotic conclusion was that the committee, already too large, was unable to present a united front to students. Then there has been the lack of communciations (which one expects at Lakehead University) between the committee and thP 1r!M1 __ _,,. • the crisis has been done "behind the scenes", and knowledge of events was thus confined to a small in-group. The student body was given only rough outlines when it met at poorlyorganized general meetings. The committee could hardly expect students to become enthuisastic about issues on which they are not informed. Students should have been kept constantly in touch with developments; they might then have shared the sense of urgency which was felt by the committ~ For most students, the last weeks have been routine, punctuated now and agam by notices and announcements of general meetings. The effectiveness of these was demonstrated by the poor attendance at the meetings. The petition to the A.M.S. Council was good strategy, but the committee seemed to lose interest in it after one day's signature-collecting. In that one d~y, almost 500 students signed the petition; in another day, the committee could easily have had the signatures of the majority of the students. But for some reason, it just didn't bother. Only at the October 13 general meeting did students seem to realize the full significance of the situation. It was at this meeting that the motion to boycott classes was made and the A.M.S. Council retired to consider the motion. But what the A.MS. gained in student enthusiasm was almost lost when Council decided to meet in camera. There was no reason why it should have done so unless it feared that its petty bickering would leave it open to ridicule. And these are the people who will probably later call for student representation on the Senate and the Board of Governors, and will pay lip service to the principle of open decision-making. Yet despite these examples - and there are many moreof student ,mismanagement of the situation, success appears to have been achieved. Let us hope that members of the A.M.S. Executive, Council, and ad hoc committee, do not feel that this success proves the validity of their strategy. It does not necessarily do so. Easy to criticize? In a case like this, it certainly is. Registrar D. Ayre The motion was relayed to the Registrar as soon as it had been announced to students. The threat of a sitin was given full publicity in the Fort William "TimesJ oumal" the next day, tiut not mentioned in the Port Arthur "News-Chronicle". EMERGENCY MEETING The following day, $\lll- -> AMS President Young Asked what A.M.S. Council would do if compliance with points was not announced by one o'clock. Peter Young stated that the sit-in would still not be held "because we have been assured that our demands will be met."

Miss Wilson was here last week to advise the AMS on budget and constitution business. She took some time out for a beer and to talk candidly about where Lakehead University was at. Rather than shoot off my mouth this week I'll noncommitally quote what she had to say. "Before I came," she said, "I had heard Lakehead referred to as "Lunkhead U." so didn't know what to expect. She didn't find much. On the students: "very conservative . . . they really believe the message in the student handbook that tells them that they are privileged to be here . . . they have been sucked into the middle class notion that education is to train you for a job and success . : . they are convinced that somebody up above knows best." On student responsibility: "People here don't seem to realize that they have a responsibility for their own education. They cannot participate in University government both because they are not aware of it's benefits to them, and because of the authoritarian type of education offered. People here don't have ·a chance to develop this responsibility." On education: "Very few people seem to have done any real thinking about what education is . . . why they are here . . . how education relates to society . . . why students should be concerned with University government and its correlation with the educational process." On the AMS: "They don't realize what University government is all about. It is a 'high school' student government which conducts little if any educative function. On 'student power' (LU style): The administration is so nice.' For example the representation on the Board of Governors is a farce- . . . it is worse than -tokenism; it's a sham. They only call in students for certain issues. The University Committee is just another channel. Representation on the Senate is a bribe being offered to cover the reality that very basic change is needed." On the calendar issue: "Rules will be bent so most people aren't hurt. The University Committee will study University government and the issue will die. I hope it doesn't. But unless students stand up for their rights through action, it will. I was appalled at the first meeting at the lack of reasoning behind what was happening. There was no analysis of principles . . . people were reacting emotionally. The idea seemed to be to patch up what they thought was wrong with no concern for the University power structure. They were willing to be satisfied with tokenism. On freedom: "I used the phrases 'radical action' and 'student power' at a committee meeting. It was as if I had sworn at a private gi!rl's school . . . it was a complete and utter shock to the students there." Miss Wilson is of course an "outside agitator" according to the less syrupy members of the administration and not to be listened to by us quiet children huddled in the shelter of the great gooey, ~rthodoxy called Lakehead University. letters to the editor Helping others In this age, man has made great advances technologically, scientifically, economically and educationally; it is lamentable to state that these changes have not been followed morally, socially, and spiritually. Man, to my mind, has grown too egotistical and self-centered. This era has ushered in the "dog-eat-dog" attitude, in which each individual thinks only ·of himself and , cares nothing about the people around him. Today, all of us are concerned about living a good life. We crave for all the luxuries of this world. We spare no effort to satisfy our wants, not caring that in so doing we may be injuring other human beings. How -many of us have ever taken a minute to think not only of the sufferings of the people of OU'l' land, but even of those of other countries? Have we ever thought about the sufferings of the people of India, or quite recently about the hardships endured by the countries that fell in the wrath of the recent hurricane? Maybe we have seen these things in the newspapers or maybe we have heard them mentioned over the radio or television stations. When we heard them, we became very sorry, but that is as far as we went. Embedded in our 9 w n. thoughts, we soon forgot about the sufferings of other people. We, a:s human beings, should try for one second to think of those less fortunate than us. Do you realize that there are thousands of people the world over, whO" have to go without food for the day, not because they wish it so, but because of poverty? What about the Cancer and Pollo victims? How can we assist them? It is impossible for us as individuals to go to every unfortunate person and express our sympathy. Maybe we can show our concern in a more tangible form. I am hoping' that the A.M.S. will be instrumental in forming a ''Help Others Club" or some o t h e r association whereby we as students could contribute a little of our spending money when the need arises. I am sure that in so doing, we will be happy to know that we are helping to relieve the sufferings of others. -Khalid Ali, Arts I Cafeteria Prices Sir: In the ARGUS of October 5, there appeared a letter from Sze-Chung Yuan concerning t h e cafeteria. I would like to set the record straight about a number of statements he made. 1) "Cafeteria prices are considerably lower than the m a j o r i t y of restaurants downtown." In fact, our cafeteria prices are considerably lower than the majority of restaurants downtown as our prices ' do not include a charge for overhead. 2) "The university cafeteria is under the joint management of the administration ahd an outside contractot, so half of the profit goes outside." T h e cafeteria is owned by the university and all the equipment for it is supplied by the university. Meal prices are based on the cost of food and salaries plus a small charge. Versa Foods fee is 10 percent of the total wage and food cost to the cafeteria. If there is anything left ov.er (difference betw~n total. revenue and old_ charges including Versa Foods 10 percent) Lakehead University gets the balance. Last year Lakehead University's total gross return was $3800 on $57,670 total sales (6.6%). But this money was more than used up to buy new equipment. Lakehead University actually lost $7,450 on the overall operation. 3) Residents last year complained about food." We did receive a number of complaints last year but we endeavoured to meet each of these complaints by improving the service. This year we have completely revamped our menu. The Residence Council told me that they are pleased with this year's operation. As for improvements, if anyone has suggestions for better cafeteria service, or complaints about present services, he can always come to see me. My office is µi the lower cafeteria. I am open to all suggestions. I hope that this letter may help to dispel some misconceptions which students may have about the cafeteria.

I was wandering. ~essly through the American south. I happened (I guess it was a happening-unplanned anyway) to drop into one of the more famous department stores. The store shall remain nameless as shall the city, for names are irrelevant and law suits hurt. I guess one could call it a city but somehow it took on the air of a somewhat corpulant southern small townyou know - a town where all the girls are named MaryBelle, where they're all sweet and refined and lose their virginity about age 10; a town where the starch melts out of men's shirts by 10 o'clock in the morning, and men's bellies, round from that one more for the road, strain at shirt buttons. I recall feeling how Alice felt when she fell down the rabbit hole or wherever she fell. But for me the rabbit hole was not a hole at all but a hall of unconnected "I do deeclayah 's" and "You all 's". At the end of the aisle, or hole if you prefer, was the sporting goods department. It was classified as the sporting goods department but it had rakes and shovels besides. However that has no particular relevance anyhow. In the department I happened to strike up a conversation on the merits of one reel over another reel and lure versus lure. The conversation was with a negro boy of my own age and it never occured to me that he was anything but someone of my own age and sharing my own interest. He was from Detroit, and, like me, a sterotype Yankee. You know, fishing is the only respectable way to be lazy - also an irrelevant comment. We weren't particularly aware of time's passing. At least I wasn't, because I didn't have any precise destination in mind or anyone bugging me then. In any event the air conditioning selereted my morning in the store to slow up or break down; I'm not sure which. The break-down and the corresponding rise in temperature led one of us to suggest going for what I believe is referred to as - I guess I shouldn't mention that name either (trade mark registered, probably). In any event we went to the cafeteria in the store and I remember that "See Dick's New Friend" feeling. I had almost finished that somewhat uninvolved process of picking up a drink in a paper cup when "I'm sahrry suh, we cayunt serve you all." The southern Mary-Belle was addressing my friend. I don't know what happened after that. Only that psychological lump and embarrassing chill in the spine. And, thinking back, I think it was the time I filrst became aware of hate. Karl A. J.

Technocracy points out. that our present social structures comprise a Price System, which evolved during the past 7000 years ·of human toil, hand ~ls, and the resultant scarcity induced by a low energy ~xistence. Only with the introducion of exraneous energy, ~ the forms of steam, hydro-electric, and finally atomic power, did the factors of production, and hence of social organization change. The magnitude of history's first real social change can be graphically illustrated. The human animal must consume, on the average, no less than 1700 Kilo-Gram Calories of food energy for even the most sedintary existence. Less will not maintain metabolism. To perfonn work calorie intake must rise propo~ .onally. Since the human an~al can convert food energy into work at an optimum efficiency of 25 per cent, a man on a daily diet of some 5,000 K.G.C.s can perform work at the rate of only 1/ 10 ·horsepower for a 10 hour stretch. The average calorie intake for North America is 2300 K.~.C.s per capita per day. But through the use of extraneous energy, automation and cybernation over 187 000 K.G.C.s are being converted per person per' day (in 'the U.S.A. as of Sept./67). This physical work means goods and services for our econ~my ~d ~his rate of conversion belies the myth of sc~rcity maintained by those pathologists of debt, the economists. Nevertheless, the Price System distributes this abundance t~ the population through wages and salaries. Automation is displacing more and more jobs, and so reducing purchasing po~er. Wars ~f waste on foreign soil notwithstanding, the Pnce System is proving less and less capable of handling an abundance. • Te~hnocra~ Inc. has calculated that if sufficient energy consuming devices are installed, and the total amount of extran~us energy consumed reaches or exceeds 200,000 K.G.C.s per capita ~r . day, the ensuing abundance will knock the bottom ?ut of scarcity values and show the Price System up for th~ impotent imposter it is. If present trends coninue, and there 1s ample indication that they will, the Price System's modus operandi will be responsible for a social crisis of ~paralled magnitude on this Continent, Probably within eighteen months. Technocracy Inc. is a membership organization with headquarters at Rushland, Pa., U.S.A.

FURNITURE Examinations don't by Rod Phillips Presumably most of the readers of this article are at university. In which case, most of the readers will have written many examinations already in their lives. But how many have ever thought seriously about ,these examinations their purpose, their relation to education, their achievements, and so on? Probably very few. But the examination system is becoming extremely o u tmoded and in need of critical scrutiny. The following is an attempt at briefly analyzing certain aspects of the examination system, with particular reference to conditions at Lakehead University. First of all, how important are examinations to students at L a k e h e a d University? Briefly, the answer is that the results of examinations determine whether or not a student is credited with his "year." The degree of influence of examinations varies from one department - and even within departments and from one year, to another. For example, in first-year History the breakdown of the final mark is 20% to 40% term work (which includes the midyear examination), and 60% to 80% final examination. The variation is according to individual tutors. But in senior ye(lrs' History, the final examination accounts for less of the final mark, and there is generally no mid-year examination. As you can see, there is some variation in the degrees of influence oJ. examinations, but the fact remains that examinations do account for a great deal of the final mark - in many cases, in first-year especially, most of the final mark. You can see from this brief survey - as if you didn't know it anyway that examinations play an extremely important role in determining whether or not you graduate. And, general-· ly speaking, we accept this. Only at examination times do we complain that too much emphasis is placed on examinations and not enough on term work (especially if I Lakehead Unitarian Fellowship MEETS visit SUNDAY MORNING the treasure house Gron Morgan High School r at 10:30 at October 22 Mrs. Anna Charles Cosmic Consciousness,, 11 7 S. CUMBERLAND ST. Phone 344-9441 we have done well during the term). By then, of course, it is far too late, and we forget about it until the next :rear. B.A. in Two Months? But should examinations be considered so important? What do they really prove? Firstly, look at the purpose of an examination. Ideally, an examination shows how much a student has learned during the year how much he has assimilated from the lectures given in his course. Ideally. But what - in reality this time - does an examination do? Students :reading this know damn well that an examination does not test what they have learned during the year. On the contrary, it tests the know ledge they have managed to cram into their heads in the couple of weeks before the examination takes place. Now, if examiners are satisfied witfi this arran~ ment, fine - let's keep the examination system. And let's cut down the academic year from seven months to three weeks. This way, we should be able to get a B.A. or B.Sc. in just over two months of concentrated effort. Ridiculous? Maybe. But the present examination system does more than just test a couple of week's work. It tests, among other things, a student's writing speed and his ability t.o work under stress. Of course, this doesn't help students who are verbally slower and less fluent, and µ can be disastrous to students who are unable to remain ca]m and collected under stress, but it's always been this way, so why change it? Yes, it's difficult to see any resemblance between the examination system's ideals on the one hand, and achievements on the other. It is quite obvious that this situation is intolerable and must be changed. Easy to say. Difficult to find a practical alternative. More difficult to implement the alternative. Alternatives There are a number of alternatives open for the present examination system. Which of these a1ternatives or what combination of them should be instituted is open to debate. The most popular of the alternatives are - "Open book" examinations. Where students are allowed to refer to prescribed texts or to. any boo~ they wish. - Distribution of examination questions some days ,before the examination itself takes place. - Exclusive reliance on other criteria for the final mark e.g. research papers, term work, seminars, etc. • It is necessary to note that every one of these proposals demands somewhat different abilities. "O p e n book" examinations, for instance, call for more comprehension and less memorization, and create less tension. Of course, the alternatives 1also depart from t~e ideal c,f the examination system. Their !'esults do not evidence !knowledge gained by memorization, but by understanding and research. This aspect is of minor importance however; the ideal of the examination is by no means set down by law, and may be discarded when considered obsolete. At thiJ: .J)oint. it may not be irrelevant t.o ·ask where, in post-graduate life, one is required to work under examination conditions. One is always able t.o refer to available infonnation. . 'fhe ramifications of changing the examination system will (a note of optimism) be far-reaching. The structure of the whole teaching system is based on examinations, and abolition of the latter will necessitate modification of the former. Nevertheless, the . examination system is badly in need of re-appraisal and . replacement, and these should be effected as soon as possible. The present intolerable situation must not be perpetuated. Number 32 is Coming Number 32 is coming, and number thirty-two stands for thirty two miles, the duration of a walkathon soon to be held in the Lakehead. The whole effort falls under the name "Miles for Millions" and the way it works is this: On the morning of October 28 at 8 o'clock a few thousand students from all the various high schools plus Lakehead U. and Teachers College will set out walking. Each participant will find a sponsor to donate a certain amount of money for every mile walked. What is done with all this money? It's divided up amongst various charities. $5000 will go to Care of Canada to supply pipe and mat.erials for building a water supply system in Guatemala. $5000 will go to Town Talk which is a municipal government educational forum. $2500 is to be donated to Care of Canada for building five schools in Guatemala. $12500 will be given to Oxfam for forming a co-op farming system in Columbia. Any surplus. funds will go to Crossroads, Africa. The walks have been very successful in most Canadian cities. In Ottawa, 4000 students walked to raise $85000. So let's support it here in the Lakehead and make this endeavour a real success. Gordon Wolford, Arts I is the representative on Campus.

Good luck, but . don't get too good 'cause I may lose my job. * * * * Although Port Arthur high school football teams .. have not provided Fort William teams with a great deal of competition, they are running close races in both divisions in · their own city. The senior race is a three-way affair including Lakeview, Hillcrest, and Hammarsjold. For the first time in many years, P.A.C.I. has a weak senior team and will probably finish at the tail-end. Lakeview is Tated as the best in Port Arthur but could easily be upset by either HjlIIlDlarl;jold or Hillcrest. They tout a strong backfield led by backs Ron Kehl and Gord Dixop. Quarterback Ian MacRae gets fine blocks from lineman Don Smeetan and Jim Perrier, who team with linebacker Larry Perepeluk to lead a strong defense. Hillcrest has a well-balanced team that almost beat Lakeview in theiir last meeting, but fell short two points, losing 9 - 7. The offense is led by back Lauri Keller and quarterback Lei Hartviksen. Holding up the defense are Ken Launderville and Brian Marcino. Hammarsjold Vikings can be rated on par with Hillcrest as they tied in their first meeting. They tout a fine all-round quarterback in Marcuu Peuhkurinen and a strong fullback in Jack luvehar. The defense is tough and right up with those of the other two contenders. The junior division is a four-way toss-up and has been unpredictable in the early stages. Hammarsjold and Hillcrest show how close they were when they tied 0 - 0, Lakeview Lions, after taking three straight beatings, came back to beat Hillcrest 6 - 0, scoring their touchdown in the last three minutes. Earlier, P.A.C.I. had squeaked by Lakeview 7 - 6.

Canadian youth formed an advisory Committee for representation with the Canadian Corporation for the Universal and International Exhibition of 1967. It ls the same committee which, in collaboration with the c.c.w.E., promoted the Youth Pavillion, first step towards research on youth, it's movement and it's communication media. Through the Youth Pavillion, students from all parts of the world, all those concerned with youth or the ''Youth'' fact; were gathered for conferences, panels, slide projections and work shops, adapted to their interests and experience. It is in the sense of interdisciplinary meeting that ,we can say that the Youth :eavillion is the first step towards a crossroads or International Youth Centre. 'Youth Advisory Committee On the other hand, the Youth Advisory Committee had already submitted this project of an International Exhibition: the project then consisted in the creation of a non-profit company, "The International Youth Centre", which, publically and privately financed, could build and manage a Youth Centre to provide meeting facilities, offices for youth organizations, and, most important, to provide a Youth Research Ce~e, as well as a communications centre, vital to any evolution. and interdisciplinary aim. Unfortunately, this project was at the time unacceptable due to lack of funds. However, the Canadian Corporation for the World's Exhibition hasgiven it's formal approval, and moreover had accepted to reserve location for the establishment of the Centre on the Exhibitton site. the working Youth. The International Documentati9n Centre, as well as fulfilling it's static funcrton of 'information bank, would also act as a priorities indicator in the domain of Youth Research.

Youth Centre Role of Youth One of the first items to consider in the greater rationalization of the Youth Phenomenon i-s, without a doubt, the establishment of an International Youth Documentation Centre. It is important to assemble all documentation pertinent to Provincial, National and International Youth. In general, Youth organizations are financially very limited, and as a result, they are incapable of maintaining documentation centers or even constant communication with other organizations: the creation of such a Centre would lift many ideological barriers by providing serious and continuous interdisciplinary research and. extending the scope of this research to, for example, r name in the late 'fifties were the work of Liu Ya-tzy. As to the question of "great", I believe, Mr. O'Neill will agree w:ith me that when we consider whether a man is great or not we consider his contributions to mankind (at least to his country and his people).However, if Mr. O'Neill calls Mao "A great man" simply because he is responsible for the butchery of 25 million Chinese, more than the total population of Canada, in the last 17 years, and responsible for making the rich poor, the poor, poorer, I cannot _but comply.

Expo Closes Now that the Exhibition is coming to a close and that it is time to decide what will be done with the pavillions and the lands, we, as well as two hundred and eightyseven other Youth organizations find that the moment has come to once again bring this project to the attention of the public and the inte!ested authorities.

Fifty years ago, anyone in China could, with permission of the university and usually by paying a small fee, walk into a lecture room as a drop-in student and had to stand at the back in case all the seats were occupied.
