"The co-operation among the executive at times was almost non-exist.ent. When you would try to help them "The position is there, and it is just what you make it," she said. "It is very rewarding, if you can afford the time necessary. I think my resignation will allow me to be more beneficial to both the Council and to myself; I can go to Council meetings and speak up." After more than three hours Student Association President Jeff Chipman returned to the strike scene and announced ''Ladies and gentlemen, our goals have been realized." The crowd went wild. Their demands included setting up a Managing Board of the bookstore, to be com- posed of equal representatives from each of the int.erested groups involved. In a front page statement in last Wednesday's special edition of The Georgian, Chipman explained "Our decision to ask for a general Cafeteria prices to go up Twenty cents for a cup iof dents themselves regarding coffee; 25 cents for a large the unsightliness of these soft drink.

But her resignation points strike is an indication that the Students Association is not prepared to back down from the demand for democratization of the university." The statement specified that the Committee's first task will be 1:Jo set up a body with power and authority to set policy for the university bookstore. Chipman said the Committee would meet for the first time Monday, October 30. FACULTY SUPPORT 'I' Earlier in the day, Sir George University Association of University Teachers passed a resolution supporting the student action. The strike was called at a Council meeting early Thursday morning and the crowds sat in at the Hall Building all day. Among them was a contingent of about 70 students from McGill and about 30 from L'Universit.e de Montreal. DEMOCRATIZATION ROT SO CLEAR After the meeting, Chipman said "We asked for a bookstore manag,erial committee and we got it. As for democratization we must look at it in the broad cont.ext. It is not so clearly defined." "The demonstration had a definit.e affect on the Administration. The student show of support was necessary to endorse our position." Chuck Axelrod, lnt.ernal Vice-President and co-negotiator with Chipman, said "The Administration is worried because of the demonstration of student-faculty co-operation. They are very concerned that no..mapifesta- tion of power such as today should happen again." The President of SGWAUT said "I think our agreement today will be a constructive beginning to the task of involving students and faculty members in important university matters." - students to blame empty and half-empty cups, used cutlery, and over-flowing trays, all with spilled salt and sugair, inconsiderately placed cigarette butts, ashes, matches and crap all over them. Since students refuse to place their offerings of gravy, ketchup, and cigarettes in the racks provided, the necessity has arisen to hire another woman to do what students should be doing themselves. This, then, is the reason for the proposed increase in cafeteria prices. If this intolerable situation does not cease, there will be no alternative but to raise food prices.

Rothney, was one of three noted Canadians who participated in "Canada Day" at the University of Idaho on October 19. The theme of Dr. Rothney's address was "America, Canada's Problem" a paper on the problems of regionalism in Canada. Dr. Rothney is reported in the Idaho Argonaut (the U. of· Idaho's student paper) as saying that Canada cannot preserve its economic independence. "In the past, Canada's economy has depended on the East-West trade. With the decline. of Britain this trade is now with the Soviet Union and China," he said. However, since Canada can never depend upon this trade, Dr. Rothney continued, it must turn to north-south trade. "The pull of American metropolitan centre on the regions of Canada is the greatest threat to her existence. "If Canada were alone on this continent, it would be very easy for Canadian metropolitan centres to hold their regions together economically, culturally, and politically. "But Canadian metropolitan centres must always compete with larger U.S-. centres and this . econlOmic control leads to political control. ''In this sense, although Canada poses no threat to America, the U.S. threatens the very existence of Canada as a dominion and a sovereign nation" Dr. Rothney said. "It's inconceivable that Canada could ever achieve economic independence from the U.S. We read the -same magazines, listen to the same radio programmes, live in such close proximity, and have a common language. "All of these things make it impossible to substitute any otlier country. There is no escape to Americaniza•tion. "There is no answer to this problem except superceding continentalism by universality - eventually lead- ing to the political concept of 'one world'." Back in the Lakehead, Dr. Rothney reported that the students at Idaho "showed very, very keen interest in Canada. Many were especially interested in how we treat draft-dodgers. I was impressed by the calibre of the students who turned out." (Seven hundred students attended each of the two daytime sessions). Dr. Rothney said that his chief impression was the "overwhelming conoorn" by students about the war in Vietnam. This concern is manifested, he said, in activities such as debates, demonstrations, and discussionsa 11 concerning Vietnam. Asked about student opinion on the war, Dr. Rothney said that "every member of faculty I talked to said it (student opinion). was about fifty-fifty. But I didn't get any student opinions." The other two speakers at "Canada Day" were Dr. Peter Waite, chairman of Dalhousie University, and Donald S. MacDonald, M.P. Library hiding information .1 Dr. Gordon 0.

Phillips has resigned his seat on the Alma Mater Society Council because he feels this Council is not fulfilling its duty, i.e., it is secretive, apathetic, not representative of the students, and it is not clear on what it's long-range purpose is, etc. Neither, he feels, can ·he identify with such a Descrimination Sil-: We would like to voice a dissatisfaction, and bring to light to the student body, and administration, an injustice on the part of administration towards us, the class of Business Administration Diploma II We are singled out in the matter of attendance! We are being treated as high school students! We have attendance taken at each and every class. No other Business Administration class, nor any other class in the university has its attendance taken at every lecture. We feel, that as adults, we should have the right to make our own decisions as ·to whether or not we can afford to miss a particular lecture in order to work on a class assignment. We need only draw to their attention the heavy course in which we are enrolled. We take nine subjects with a total of 28 class hours per week. Plus, homework hours which are more than equivalent to those spent in class. Therefore, many of us miss classes in order to work on our assignment and reports so as to have them completed for the due dates. Since we feel our time is well spent, we don't think we should be forced to attend classes. We believe it should be the perrogative of the student. We, the students of Business Administration II, would like an answer from Dr. Braun, either directly, or through the Argus. Sincerely, Business Admin.

Mr. Phillips, if you really feel that the AMS Council is lacking in any way, and if you feel sincerely that you would like to · do something to alleviate this situation, then I feel that you have missed the point in resigning from the Council. By your resignation, you have destroyed a certain pairt of the unity among the AMS councillors, among whom unity should exist;. and you have made doubtful the position of the AMS Council, a position which should be strongly evident on this campus. This year's Council is not all you would like to be, nor is this university as a whole all you would want it to be. But it will never change - for you - if you throw away in disgust your part in it. Your ideas can never be accepted, nor can they be appreciated, if you choose to remain apart f.rom the body which you are criticizing. I direct these remarks to Mr. Phillips, for he has taken a much publicized stand against the AMS; one which I feel to be unfortunate, for all concerned. But I would suggest that they apply also to any person who is a meinber of the Alma Mater Society. Peter McCormick, Arts AMS- representative comment They Would Never Be Missed by pat o'neill I've got a little list Of Society offenders Who might well be underground. -The Lord High Executioner's Song, from "Mikado." On September 22, 1950, the United States Senate passed a bill called the Internal Security Act, or the McCarran Act. It was sponsored by such notables as J. F. Kennedy. Section 100 of this Act states that under conditions of a declaration of war by Congress, an "insurrection" within the U.S., or an "imminent" invasion, the President may proclaim a "National Internal Security Emergency." Then the Attorney General MUST "apprehend and detain any person as to whom there is i"easonable grounds to believe that such person probably will engage in, or probably will conspire with others to engage in act of espionage or of sabotage." (The word probably was in italics in the Act.) McCarran himself called the act "a concentration camp measure." Since 1950, Congress has tried twenty-four times to get the Presidents to implement on Section 100. Until now, each attempt has been unsuccessful. President Truman set up six "detention" camps with a minimum capacity of 15,000 persons each. Since then eleven other camps have been built and staffed. These seventeen camps would hold a minimum of 255,000 persons. But to date these "detention" camps are empty, and operated only on a standby basis. The FBI in response to this act has issued and holds over one million warrants. They claim they could pick up 12 to 15 thousand persons within twenty-four hours in a programme called Operation Dragnet. The government department concerned, installed a Univac 1108 computor in Washington, D.C. on April 23, this year. It records the names, addresses, current political activity, associations, HABITS, movements, communications, and correspondence of over one million persons who; in their opinion, are probably covered by the Act. This list contains hippies, Negro activists, "communists," University professors, and New Left "subversives." President Johnson will never set the plan in operation, you say. (?) The experts claim that a sudden uprising in three Negro ghettos would be enough for him to do just that. Or a declaration of war w.ith China.· And if he does, what will you do? We all know the German people merely said that their concentration camps were not there. Our Watchdog Sir: It seems that the student body's watch-dog has fallen asleep; the sacred rights of the student . body a'l'e being violated and our conscientious canine is not to be seen. Our AMS President (and his Council I believe) is taking us (the student body) for a ride. We paid him in the neighbourhood of $2000 to idle away the summer while Joe Blow slaved in the ash pits for three-quarters that sum. Two thousand dollars well invested could .have brought returns, especially at registration time. What did our $2000 return? One helluva mess! No one, not even the profs, knew north from south at registration time. They (the profs.) received the calendars as they entered the registration rooms to advise students on proposed courses, which in many cases were the wrong choices. The administration pulled the bag over Peter's head and he didn't even let out a peep. How much did Mr. Ayre pay you, Peter, for not minding the student's business? Organizing summer school dances etc. seems to be all you did all summer. And in the fall when people realized that they were being given a raw deal, they started a committee to look into the matter. What did Pete go out and fight for: irecognition of course changes and details about administrative structure. You sure poured the soothing oil upon troubled student waters and I'm sure Mr. Tamblyn appreciates it. A precedent has been set and next year the administration will feel much more confident about throwing it into us once more. Another thing: the AMS Council meeting held during the general meeting on October 13 was constitutionally closed. Why? Don't we have the right to see how our representatives vote? If they too are going to chicken out in the crisis we should know, for it is our rights which they should be fighting for. A final matter Mr. President: it seems that 50 of the choice spots in the pairking lot immediately in front of the new tunnel entrance did not go on the auction block. Are these for yourself and for 49 of your friends? Wake up, watch-dog and crawl out of your kennel, or go bury your bones in someone else's yard. George Roy Arts II.

In tracing the success of students evaluated, they have discovered that it is the bright student, even the brilliant, who more often than not "drop out" of university. Those with "middle range" abilities graduate and often enter post-graduate pro~ammes. Not surprisingly, those who do poorly on the tests Bunk out" early. These findings are forcing educators to reconsider their stereotypes and prejudices concerning "drop out." They are not, as was previously supposed, cowardly, impatient, or maladjusted. In fact it takes a lot of plain guts to reject all the conventional pressures and willfully to abdicate formal education. Increasingly, drop outs are found to be very bright J>eQple, disillusioned with regimentation, static disciplines, and an institution which reflects what is often called a very sick society. They do not, as is often suspected, get a good job, buy a Mustang, and forget about learning. That has become the distinction of the graduate, the person who has been successfully dulled to the lost promise of the time, and of himself. For example the CYC, the hospitals, and the hippy communities are picking up a lot of. these "drop outs." LAKEHEAD LOSES MANY Everyone here knows a few-they certainly aren't all the same. But many represent distinct losses to Lakehead University. Some drop outs. A., a talented poet, left for the east. B., an encyclopedia of pornography, is leaving for the west. G., a poet and musician, has taken a job helping children. And there are many, many others. Universities must stop accommodating, even glorifying, mediocrity. This university is young, controlled by-self-proclaimed "liberals," and claims to be open to suggestion from any quarter. Considering the massive fire under which it is now labouring, and the obvious fact that "drop outs" are merely the tip of a very large iceberg, it must begin to listen to a few of the more radical voices. If not, this university will continue as an undistinguished local public utility. A Prayer Mighty Argus: I pray that thou hath, ih thine voice of 6ctober 12, 1967, misquoted our most noble Alma Mater Society Pre~ident. At a mortal University Committee Meeting, didst thou truly hear Mr. Young quoth, ''We don't wish to follow the lead of other universities and push for student representation on the Senate and Board of Governors and all that. We can accomplish more in this committee."? Ideally t h e University Committee (that host of well known, ranging to anonymous, souls) could still remain enthroned to deal with earthy, non-academic problems i.e.. bridge playing in Gude's cafeteria and plugging into half-time electrical outlets. (Hallowed be these causes). Give Mr. Young the strength not to belittle the student representation on governing bodies of the university "and all that." Agreed, Mighty Argus, presentations could be made to Senate via University Committee, but give us the courage to realize the possibility of unholy implementation of academic justice. How long would it take problems to reach the Senate through another committee? My impatience betrays me, Mighty Argus. Leave us not wade through Satan's bureaucratic mud. Carry us through the pearly gates of Senate, the great God Senate, manipulating the students. For if students are in there, they too may be angels and whisper in God's ear should he fail (tremble, tremble, tremble) to realize the dimensions of reb'Ulations he passes. And there may even be, Mighty Argus, a responibility of a ·brave ange~ a very brave angel, asking fellow members. of that most heavenly host, exactly what the four Saint Peter's duties are. God may even consider whispering the functions of his other sub-angels. Karl A. J. Goodwin. Amen, Detroit... Summer 1967 The community that loots together The White and Negro communities in the inner city of Detroit have several perceived common enemies: the loan sharks who make no di//erentiation the the basis of colour, race, or creed; _the "buy-now• pay-later" furniture • stores, who sell worthless goods at exorbant Prices: and last but not least,· the police depart· ment, seen by most inner city residents as an occupation force, living in comfortable . homes safe in the suburbs. The west end of the city of Detroit serves as a point of entry for groups immigrating. into the city, both from foreign countries and from the southern United States. As a result, the West side contains groups of Southern Negroes, Whites, Spanish Americans and other less numerous ethnic groups. We lived in a house on the near west side, in the area which was 50 per cent southern Negro, and about 50 per cent poor southern White. Members of these groups had migrated from the South because of the impossible living conditions in their home towns. Both groups (and this will at first blush seem. a surprising fact) looked back with nostalgia upon the old homestead and longed to return. Whites and Negroes live together in our area out of economic necessity. Whites grudgingly give up some of the public habits which are proper in the South; they do not often say "come here boy," or use the word ''Nig~r." Because the Whites are forced to. take a public position which may be different from their private beliefs, tJ~ey gradually come to change some of their beliefs to make them more in h81'- • mony with their actions. WHITE AND BLACK TOGETHER When the Detroit riot burst its seams from the predominately Negro 12th Street, where it began, it flowed into our neighbourhood. Near my house it became apparent to me that this was no standard race riot. The furniture store on THIS AD CAN SAVE YOU 20% on your purchase o.f paperbacks THE THIN MAN by larry anderson the corner was looted and burned three times, by both Whites and Negros. During the loooting, people-Whites and Blacks - mingled freely, eX!changing items and passing goods out the windows· to one another. Two doors away from the burning furniture store, both Whites and Blacks went in and out of an ice cream parlour, p~ing for the ice cream.

POLICE DISRUPT COMMUNITY The Detroit police department soon moved in to disrupt the community. On Thursday, five days after the riot had begun, a black squad car, filled with policemen carrying high po~red rifles motored down our street with a loud speaker blaring. Behind them followed two large trucks. The speaker said, "We have a federal ' search warrant (it was untrue-there is no such thing for the crimes involved). We are going to be back in one half hour. Place all looted goods on the front walk and and no questions will be asked. If you do not comply, we will search your hiouse, and you will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law!" .

Decision making is an intricately difficult and solitary process. There is a war on somewhere. Two ideologies are supposedly fighting, and your government is sending out these papers to males over eighteen years of age, demanding that they participate in murder. I am a draft dodger. For two years I thought about war, and thinking about war and induction papers concerns more than visions of a battlefield. I thought about history and politics and freedom and boundilries and presidents, and people and society, churches and jails, the rich and the poor, Democracy and Communism, economics and the military, and birth and death, and love and hate and freedom. And I came to a basic conclusion after juggling all those-and more-around in a hundred combinations perhaps love is freedom, and hate is not. And of course I saw very often the horrors of war. I saw masses of American soldiers and masses of Vietnamese, all dead or dying. I saw bombed villages and bombing "mistakes." And those glorious jets I saw spewing napalm, and screaming women and children-some of them on fire-and others who could no longer walk because they had no legs. And still others I saw who just lay there dead. I saw one continuous line of naked Jews trudging along single file to showers. I saw their gold fillings extracted, and Ilse Koch's lampshade of human flesh. I saw again all those pictures we have seen many times. And ignored. Then I saw President Johnson speaking on television; he was saying something about freedom and human dignity. And there was Lady Bird planting a tree, and consternated Congressmen, and I kept on seeing Negroes for some reason, and I even glimpsed the Pope, and there were neighbors enjoying the freedom of reading Ann Landers and tuning in for Gomer Pyle. I heard several neighbors in their living room tableau exclaim during a Viet Nam broadcast: "Oh, that's horrible. Why do they have to show that kind of stuff!" 11 paradoxes" Oftentimes this contemporary kaleidascope would tum just so and I would laugh with cynicism and disgust. I saw the National Paradoxes growing more apparent-especially Capital Punishment. I tried to conceive of two ideologies holding guns against each other . . . that vision l could not see. I saw myself slowly dying in pain after having killed a few enemies, wondering why, and then humming the National Anthem before expiring on the field of glory. This was the Preposterous Paradox concerning American intentions. I began to understand the true nature of the conflicts (plural) in Viet Nam, and my stand against the war became more vehement. I argued and discussed endlessly, and had to deal with many cleverly calculated arguments such as "What would you do if a Viet Cong married your sister?" SUPP -RT DRAFT ftEFUSilS -~ DE -ND....W AR-TAX REFilNDS . ...... T! RESIST! RESIST! . Draft resistance scenes such as this one are becoming more frequent in the U. s. Do these demonstrations indicate a breakdown of the Great American Society? That one was asked my two friends and myself by a Green Beret who stormed into a novelty shop, furious, and screaming about Mao Tse Tung posters hanging alongside Dylan, Garbo, Keaton, et al. The Green Beret was just back from Viet Nam duty. We argued with him and asked man7 questions. He said, "Sure it's a political war, but goddamit its my country, and I don't care if it's wrong/" He described in vivid detail the atrocities he had committed and seen. He was shouting at us, "Communist/ Nigger lovers/" and went on about how the brains of the Oriental scum and those of Niggers were smaller and that they were all illiterate. We asked him why, and he said because they no white blood. He said if he were in charge he'd have the three of us shot just like that. I looked at the fire in his eyes, and I believed him. I heard that song, The Ballad of the Green Berets, the part that says: "Put silver wings on my son's chest. Make him one of America's best." I felt nausea. There were elaborate political, social, economic perspectives which we discussed also. Many of them were labyrinthian, abstract, and often pointless. I kept on seeing visions of history's horrors, and I would mention the attitude of the Germans as six million went up in smoke, and someone would shout "False analogy! False analogy!" There exist murder en masse perpetrated by a national consciousness, nationally organized: this is the parallel. decision to make So I decided that I would not hasten the madness of a world threatened with imminent, total destruction. Under any circumstances, no. The decision about the war was resolute. I was a "stubborn idealist," "a dreamer." The dilemma of another decision was there before me: Five years of prison? Immigration to ·Canada? A career ":ith. the medics who repair killers? The underground? Conscientious Objection? It was difficult. For one year there was the expectation of those papers in the mailbox. I had limited my choice to prison or Canada, and often I felt the anxiety of uncertainty. One day as I got off work my friend appeared with a grave look and told me the news: My induction notice had come. I was relieved and felt a certain peace, because I knew at last that the decision would have to be made, and also the plans if I decided on Canada. After a long deliberation I at last decided upon Canada. Prison seemed more like needless masochism than an effective stand. So we then made dozens of phone calls, and obtained a .rough idea of immigration procedures. We spent hours ruminating over possible complications at the border. When the day came to leave I packed one large suitcase, �November 2, 1967 THE ARGUS Page 7 dratt dodger . by d.d. c~efully sel~ting books, clothing, and other necessities. It was painful. I said goodbye, and one day prior to my induction date crossed the border. At that moment I realized the U.S.A. wa; now forever closed to me. immigration officials hostile I soon learned in Port Arthur that my immigration application had been refused on the grounds that I had little work experience, no trade, and meager funds. For two hellish months I attempted to obtain a student visa from the. hostile immigration officials. I visited SUPA in Toronto and also spoke to the wonderful immigration people there. I told them I had evaded the draft, that I had a sponsor statement notarized, and that the immigration offici~ls in the Lakehead would not co-operate. They were qmte shocked and amazed about the immigration officials here, and said that their questions about the draft were irrelevant and none of their business. Thev said I had the sufficient papers, so I returned to the Lakehead and three days before the expiration of my visitor's visa, I was granted at last a student visa. . My dealings with immigration were very complicated and tiresome, and I am weary of trying to explain them. If it weren't for the friends I had at the Lakehead-concerned University people-I would most certainly be in prison today. fanaticism personified So suddenly here I am in another country. I have no regrets whatsoever, and I do not really miss the States. I miss only a handful of people. I had spent nineteen years in St. Cloud Minnesota., a citf ~ see personified to. a large degree by a fe~ super-patrm~ ladies groups armed with snippet scissors who gu_ard the city from tr~th and or obscenity. Most people who thmk at all and have hved there for even a short time feel surrounded, as if the walls of the state prison there had enclosed the city t~. Paranoia is rampant, due to the war, mostly. The city has produced many prominent business men and flag fanatics, as evidenced by Osco Drug's window display of American flaJ!,s about five months af!,o-a mass of red, white, and blue-for sale behind plate glass. This sounds very cynical, yes, but the truth of the town is indeed, as in much of the States, a grotesque caricature. Sinclair Lewis was born forty-four miles away; "Main Street" and "Babbit'' are not foreign to Saint Cloud. And what do I think of Canada and Canadians? I don't know Canada and I am admittedly ignorant of its history. In American texts the closest we came to Canadian history was studying Cartier who discovered the Saint Lawrence, I think. I am surprised at Canadians' knowledge of the states-even geographical knowledge. Few Americans can name even three of the provinces. Canadians-or those I have met-are generally more thoughtful, somewhat friendlier, and more spontaneous. However, many of them are uncommitted as to the Viet Nam war. If I have caused some to think about it, I am pleased. I am often asked why I am against this war and, wearx of politics and lengthy explanations, I would often like to say, 'For sentimental reasons," which in essence is quite true. However, it is impossible for me to stop there. There is the awful absurdity of a self righteous nation monstrously asserting itself against Communism in the wrong place. There are many Canadians who understand quite well what is going on and why, and there are many who understand my viewpoint. And of course there are those who immediately register "Draft dodger, hippy coward, traitor." Draft dodger I can hardly refute. Hippy? If that means an individual who has little faith in structures and organizations, yes. If a coward is one who shuns violence or needless destruction, ves. Traitor? If a traitor is a person who tells the majority of his country to go to hell; then, of course, I am a traitor. Another common question from Canadians: \Vhat do vour parents think? They did not like the idea of self-exile, but they understood in an intuitive wav, which-as far as I know-is the best way to understand. They have come to accept it. Often I am asked what do I think of American imperialism. I think the evil of American imperialism is typified by the classic "democratic" cliche "You're entitled to your opinion, I'm entitled to mine." It sounds very golden at first, but it is too often a justification for greed and selfishness. Often, too, an excuse not to communicate or to share. American politics? I don't know. For some reason I always think of the Academy Awards Ceremony and Hollywood Galas. The U.S. Educational System? I think the Canadian is better, I'm not sure. The high school in St. Cloud ·was very concerned with length of hair, type of clothing,, attendance, etc. "The Catcher in The Rye" is banned from its library. "Vllysses" was taken off the shelves, and one must explain to the librarians why one wishes to read it before they'll hand it over. Viscious complaints about alleged Communist teachings were, and most likely still are, very common. If the United States were as concerned about the evils of communism as thev let on, there would be intensive required studies of Communism on the high school level. I hope there are few high schools like that in the States. Negro riots-what do I think of those? Oppressed people sametimes mean business. The violence is regrettable but I am disgusted when I hear the oft repeated comment, "\Vh-y don't they take it to their representatives and solve their problems diplomatically." Now that is faith in American Democracy! fugitive And "How do you feel about being a draft dodger" is frequently asked me. I feel wanted by the FBI, and I sense these magnets at 0e bord~r waiting for me to re-cross. I am very bitter about this sometimes because I do not believe in Democracy. Sometimes it seems my nation doesn't. I don't like the word "dodger" though, since it connotes a sudden, imp'-!lsive leap across the border, a dramatic escape from hordes of police about 24 hours after the induction notice arrives. Most draft evaders have done very much thinking and searching within themselves before that sudden "leap." And there's the big one; "What do you think of the United States?" This one. is difficult and pain_fu~. There is much good in the ,country and m the people, but 1t 1s being obscured, and I don t know all the whys, but I have seen it and sensed a souring of something there. ~he ~nited ~tat~s, to me, is a tragedy and a paradox. In my s1tuat10n, I thmk 1t somewhat more appropriate to enumerate evils rather than good points. American dream If a Canadian ask!': what I see in my mind when the word "America" is menti?ned, I'd like to give the .following structural montage: I spent four days in the St. Cloud jail for purchasing liquour, underage. From my cell through three sections of bars this is what I could see: In the right foreground was the large court house, and beyond tliat was Zapp's National Bank; across the parking lot was Schwartz Bar, its Grain Belt Beer sign illuminated; further back on the highest point of this city scape was the American flag on the Exchange building, waving arrogantly on high. Far away I could see the steeple of St. Mary's Cathedral, a small gold cross perche~ precariously up there. This visual epiphany was uncanny, and so perfectly indicative of those paradoxes I speak of. Ten years from now I wouldn't be surprised if the American Press, guilty of misinforming the people and breeding fallacies about this war, starts publishing magazine articles by the hundreds saying, "Viet Nam: The Tragic Mistake," and "Why Wasn't The Holocaust Stopped?" or less likely, "Who Is Responsible?" And if such articles appear and peoplt: wake up and wonder who was responsible, I won't be around. �Page 8 THE ARGUS November 2., '1967 Machines for living by William sheridan The buildings of North America comprise the biggest collection of junk in history, Our cities display a lack of planning and a waste of resources plus space, which considering our present knowledge, can only be ter.med criminal negligence. Our horizontal expansion covers precious acres of arable land, produce miles of roads with their concomitant traffic problems, and necessitates at least a dozen different types of delivery service. The individualistic building concepts. encouraged by those purveyors of sucker bait, the teal estate interests, result in homes which waste heat profusely and leave residents blocks or 'miles away from schools, stores, theatres and libraries, etc. The materials and construction techniques which go into most homes today contribute to a plannde obsolesence guaged to reduce the house to rubble in 1ess than 30 ye~rs. On top of all this, the use of fossil fuels for heat and propulsion has resulted in an air pollution problem of plague proportions. We are in a hell of a mess. Vertical expansion in North America is found to be isolated, costly and inefficient SOLUTIONS TO THE MESS Durability, economy of space, convenience of services, concentration of facilities, continuous service - a society of our present proportions (technologically and demographically), a city must of necessity provide these features. We now have sufficient synthetic materials to construct buildings that would last for hundreds of years. Vertical extension is the only feasible way of housing our present population. This would leave -more park facilities for all, and leave valuable arable· land available. Commodity outlets, . educational, recreation and entertainment centres should all be eccessible to all, in a few seconds, for a few steps. There is no reason to operate two outlets where one is sufficient. A line of similar stores and of delivery trucks can be eliminated. A balanced load method of production and distribution would guarantee a 24-hour a day availability of all goods and services. TECNOCRACY"S DESIGN In accordance with the technological and social specification~ of this age of abundance, Technocracy Inc. has designed an Urbanate which is worthy of man's intelligence. A typical block would be rectangular in shape, about 400 meters wide and 1000 meters long, with the buildings around the periphecy and an open space in the interior. A typical U:rbante would provide residence for 16,000 to 20,000 people. The outer walls would be continuous, of some heavy form of construction, for example, meter-thick concrete. The inner part would be terraced, with open insets to provide adequate lighting, The central area would be park-line space, possibly with an open water way going through, at least with warm swimming pools. Temperature would be controlled by a thermodynamic heat pwnp, a reversible refrigerator-type unit. Precripitron dust collectors will automatically remove 98 percent of the dust from the air. • All transportation would be underground. A "pipe", 35 feet in diameter would carry water, gas, electric telephone and mail services plus subway or motor vehicle transportation. The outer walls would carry the risers - elevators, ventilating shafts and pipelines, etc. Deliveries would be implemented by a, revolutionary, new service. A tube-conveying system, similar to the pneumatic tube, but powered by "sucking solenoid" magnets that couJd move anything from a razor blade to a refrigerator, would deliver any obje<:t from any one point to aey other point at the turn of a dial. Clothes, fooci. books, even the garbage could be whisked away at any time; no delivery boys needed. Most, of the cities would be situated beside the Continental Hydrology canals. Bulk transportation of supplies would be accomplished by water. A Marine Train would simply pull up beside the Urbanate, lock into place~ and be unloaded by hydraulic lifts. The cargo would be removed and lifted up the inside of the outer wall, being automatically sorted and displaced as it went up, all without a hum.an hand. Marine trains would also serve as floating classrooms, a part of every child's education being a trip around the entire Continent by water. ' However, education in this New America would involve learning to produce and living with an abundance. Cities would truly be, MACH!NES FOR LIVING, CAMPUS OBSOLETE? A dream of the far distnat future? No indeed; technoligically feasible today, socially necessary tomorrow. If present trends in our society continue, these new cities will be built for North America within a decade. A start will probably be made within 18 months. Most of our present cities will have to be torn down and mined for their metal content. All of them are obsolete in terms of our present needs. (The proposed campus of La-kehead University may never be completed or used.} This is Techn~cracy lnc.'s plan for the future.

Larry Anderson told of his feelings after the protesters were not allowed to leaflet in Fort William due to an old bylaw. The bylaw states that no leafletting will be allowed without permission of the authorities. "We all milled iM"ound for a few minutes," he said. "I was very ashamed that I didn't have the guts to stand up and say 'Is this cause more important than some obscure ordinance?' But I didn't. I put my tail between my legs, climbed into my car, turned on my lights, and quietly followed the policeman out of town." About 25 cars participated in the rally, all carrying posters protesting the war. No static was received by the leafletters in P o r t Arthur. "The people took the leaflets from us with no objections or denunciations. My son and I had no difficulties when we were in front of the PUC building," he said. . The picture was quite different when they arrived in Fort William. The march organizer told the group that the police had forbidden them to leaflet, since there was that bylaw about littering in the streets. However they were told that littering in the park was allowed. "And the park was cold, windy, and empty," Larry Anderson said. University Health Programme Flaw found in student loan plan SASKVILLE (CUP) - A contradiction has been discovered in information describing the Canada Student Loan Plan. 'fhe Athenaeum, student newspaper at Acadia University, printed the contradiction Friday, October 20. A pamphlet released by the Federal Government entitled Canada Student Loan Plan - Instruction to Students says the plan's regulations permit a wide degree of flexibility in setting loan repayment terms. But the application for the loan, entitled Schedule B, says in part that loans must be repaid, in equal monthly sums, "except otherwise provided in the Act and the Regulations, ending not earlier than 5 years and not later than 10 years after the month in which the student ceases to be a full-time student." In non-bureaucratic language this means a student Windsor students seat four on senate WINDSOR (CUP) - Four Windsor .students will sit on the university senate, president J. F. Leddy announced Friday. "I am very pleased with this result," said Leddy, "It is a very constructive move and I am sure the students have a very useful contribution to make." The senate will have four student members: the president of the students' council, ex-officio, and three to be chosen by a method proposed by the students' council. One of the three chosen will be a graduate student. The senate also approved student membership .ion a number of senate committees.

The committees involved include the senate academic committees on arts a n d sciences, applied science and business administration, the library committee, and the committee on student conduct, activities and discipline, and additional and special standing committees f o r which students may have unusually appropriate qualifications, according to the university information officer. The 55-member senate accepted unanimously the recommendations of the special senate committee on university goveniment. Richard Wyszynski, student council president, said he was very pleased. He said it was an historical event that will go untouted because there was no dramatic struggle involved as was the case at the University of Western Ontario.

Free health services are available on campus to students this year. This service has been active since September 19, 1967. But, as stated in the above quote, this regulation is subservient to "the Act and the Regulations," which clearly state ·that loans can indeed be repaid quicker than five years. With the rapid growth of Lakehead . University, the need for a Student Health Programme was recognized, and in September of this year a Health Unit was established on campus. F. P. Passy, chief of the Canada Student Loan Plan told Canadian University Press in Ottawa Tuesday, "there is obviously something wrong here." • The purpose of the Health Programme is to promote better health, in its broadest sense, for the students and all members of the universi.ty comm.unity. He pointed out that students could certainly repay Canada Student Loans at a faster rate.

The Senate passed a resolution at their November 3 meeting, calling for: -detailed agendas of each Senate meeting to be sent to the AMS Council. -minutes of each meeting to be sent to the AMS Council. -student delegates to be mos(scoop able to appear before the Senate to support written briefs on matter-s in the agenda relating directly to . the student body. "This is a very significant break through in the light of the near-tragedy at the beginning of this term," said AMS President Peter Young." We are hoping it won't be the end. We hope the University Committee will be able to work with the AMS on getting represenatives on the Senate." "This throws terrific responsibility on the AMS executive as the student's representatives," said University President W. G. Tamblyn. Any mistake that you fellows make will create diffieulties for those who follow you." "Let's not conform to the pattern set by other universities," he said. "Just because they push strongly for Senate representation let's not follow in their tracks. Let's weigh this thing and see if we can get something better." "The key is . to evolve a tool that works," stated faculty representative Mr. D. Alexander." When the day comes that it no longer works, then we will have to evolve another vehicle." Mr. D.

He was also proceeding at a .much slower rate of speed. He was on e of those older men - the kind we refer· to as bums, hoboes, rubby dubs, etc., at least if - one were to judge by appearances. His shoes were very old brown ones, one had no leather in the back and his bare heal was •exposed. I suppose that might slow him down a bit.

The other side of the • COIO by bill weiler (AMS vice president) is grossly unfair to leave students with a onesided coin Thus I feel that some defense of the AMS executive and Council is long overdue. I am not asking for complete forgiveness by the students for some of the confusion that has developed within the AMS executive, but let us at least consider the facts before condemning the people and actions taken. The executive had two strikes against it with first, the failure of Mr. Doug Robson last year, and second, the resignation of Wendy Ticknor a few weeks ago. I myself have only~ been in office a month and you must realize that orientation to such a position takes time. With Wendy's resign~tion we are swamped with extra duties. I feel now that we It are gradually improving our system. Slowly ~e are getting caught up to be able to keep up with the work load. You must remember that a very green executive was burdened with a very serious problem concerning registration etc. this year. We were forced to take one of two alternate methods fn ,solving this problem: radical action or conventional bargaining methods. Because we chose the latter, we were accused of "abandoping the students' pleas," and of "joining the Administrative army." I contend that the actions • I we took did get us the results we wanted. Ask around: how many students are still affected? I'm sure the answer is "none.'' We were accused of being a high school organization because we did not take the advice of some .members of the CUS Secretariat we consu1ted on the issue. I stated then as I do now that I have no intention of being dictated to by someone who openly states his belief in svndicalism (consult a political science .major for a translation) and whose decisions ·1·efl.ect this belief. The ARGUS is the students' key method of criticism; with that fact I have no beef. But if you are going to complain, at least use the brain that was supposedly j!iven to you when you checked into this world. One of our irate students used the ARGUS to let off steam (or was it hot air?). Prepare yourselves, fellow councillors, for apparently on October 18, at the AMS Council meeting, we dis- cussed " at great length such important matters as where thev (we) will obtain a dm;ble-reverse-bottle holder, -iripper-and - jigger - fixer." Perhaps I was alseep when that came up, but I still cannot -f ind it in the agenda. This critic goes on to state that the suggestion to limit discussion on the regstration issue to one-half hour was ridiculous. As a point of interest, this particular discussion lasted one hour and fifteen minutes. Recembering that this was one item of 12 on the agenda; at that rate the meeting would have lasted 15 hours. I. would like to close off these comments with the suggestion that while criticism is good, a little co-operation and assistance would go a lot further. Back-stabbing is an awfully low tactic! �Page 2 Simon says _, Club Notes Any club wishing to put announcements in the ARGUS must hand them in to the ARGUS office by Thursday at 6:00 p. m.

Two years ago they marched against the war in Vietnam. Today the fight is closer to home-in fact it is home in the offices and lecture rooms of every university. The cry among the "20 per cent ... who do most of the writing, talking, agitating, and creative work" (if MacLeans is to be believed) is now for "student power"; a catch-phrase not as frightening as it might sound, but with important implications for the future of Canadian education. It is not difficult to hypothesiz-e why this change has taken place. The civil rights movement is dead and the message from black leaders is "Clean up your own house baby-or we'll burn it." The Vietnam cause continues, but despite its new respectability it has had no clear result-and students are impatient people. Perhaps the implication of relative failures is that sincere effort against a rotten situation is not enough, and that there is too much underlying rot which must first be got at that has moved the student to "clean up his own house." That is - merely a guess-but a popular one. The fact is that from Memorial to University of Victoria the revolution has come home. QUIET GENERATION SETTLED The movement's key, as stated, is "student power." Or more delicately, student representation on the governing boards of universities. This demand is clearly a manifestation of the more aware and more involved spirit which the frightening social and political situations of the sixties has forced upon students. The "quiet generation" of the fifties are now in comfortable junior management, while the very noisy (but still a minority) bunch of 196 7 is demanding more control in society and certainly more control over their own lives. Involvement in the control ( or destruction) of the immediate environment, the university, is the obvious first step. Student complaints are well known: hundreds of students per lecture, professors heard but never spoken to, and course cards not to be folded, spindled or mutilated. They claim, and in several cases have demonstrated, that a dog can be enrolled, successfully complete courses and graduate, without any trouble whatsoever-just good friends. They denounce the "knowledge factory" dedicated to the processing of technicians and the proliferation of flaccid middle-class propaganda. Their more profound arguments are that an automated, cybernetic society no longer needs to turn out finely-honed technicians but should create a truly "liberal man" of the sort Newman called for a century ago-a man who can remain a human despite potentia)ly stultifying leisure, the machinations of a computerized corporate society, and cries for help from the "third world." FREEDOM TO LEARN They demand lernfreiheit (freedom to .determine, at least in part, what they wish to learn) to compliment the "lehrfreiheit'' (freedom of professors to teach what and how they please) which has largely been won by faculty. They condemn grading and lock-step advancement as services provided as conveniences to - the corporations. They recognize the damage done in the name of "public image" and "fund raising." They tell administrations that their functions are strictly j;mitorial and secretarial and to kindly keep the hell out of academic matters. They look to Europe, and the healthy communities of scholars which are its universities, for example and inspiration. The more sophisticated criticisms that curricula are abstract and static, that the disciplines are inward and academic, and that imagination, creativity and spontaneity are either discouraged or actively destroyed, often come from the junior. faculty. STATUS QUO SAVED Reaction from supporters of the University status quo ( usually composed of some faculty, the administration, the government, the press, and the public) adhere to the view of Clark Kerr (President of Berkeley during its famous rebellion in 1964) that the modem university "is an imperative rather than a reasoned choice among elegant alternatives." They point to the proliferation of education and claim that - it is functionally impossible to achieve much more, and that certain sacrifices must be made to demands put on the university by its. "many publics." When pressed they fall back to the pragmatic arguments of Sydney Hook who states, rather paternally, that "academic freedom exists primarily for teachers ... students have a right to free.dom to learn"; or they assert Flexner's argument which boils down to a glorification of post-graduate and research work at the expense of undergraduates. At root the status quo claims that whatever the shortcomings the university must and does reflect the society which supports it. The students concede that but return with the valid claim that society is rotten and that if anything is to initiate change, it must be the university. These then are the keys to the problem: students fighting alienation, impersonality, and paternalism, the status quo defending what they claim is merely expedient. Next week: Some of the historical trends in education which are most often debated in the current squabble. ' I November Elevenih • lakehead university entombed Yes, friends, entombed. We do not pat ourselves on the back when we state that without the ARGUS, this place would be a regular cemetery. This is unfortunate, but nonetheless, true. Not everyone enjoys the bi-weekly dances or the intellectual discussion groups sponsored by everyone except the AMS. However, everyone who at• "umvers1 • ·ty" h as the ch ance to enJoy • tend s th1s the paper. Now the point of this epic; the AMS executive has threatened the ARGUS with a reduction in the number• of pages that we will be able to publish. This all stems from the fact that the executive is dissatisfied with the content ratio of advertising. The threat of a cut to the paper has been made on numerous occasions lately, even in an attempted humourous vein. This all comes about for a variety of reasons, the most notable being the state of the budget. The ARGUS has budgeted for approximately one quarter of this to ·publish 22 editions, each containing 12 pages. This budget was approved by the AMS Budget C,ommittee, but now some re-evaluations are being made so that every little corner of the activity world can get a chunk of the load.stoneoften duplicating one other.

These will be alloted to students soon after registration. Upper classmen will receive priority. Application forms will be available at registration. The cost is $10.00 per space." This is the Word as .laid down in the University Bible for 1967-68. It would appear that, as with any Bible, the interpretation of the Word is open to a wide range of opinion. To the as yet incompetely educated undergraduate it might seem that he would be able to rent a parking space with a plug-in for $10. Oh ye of little faith. Trust ye not the inexplicit word of the High Priests? Harken ye to the True Word. Parking will cost you $20. "There is no charge for parking in the general parking lots." Judge ye not the tongue of the serpent for it is forked up. "The Senate reserves the right to. make changes in this Calendar without prior notice." Here endeth the lesson. T:he Senate, which is an omnipotent body in this community of scholars, cannot be questioned and has the right to act arbitrarily on all issues. It is therefore above our questions. The AMS, which is an impotent body in this community of scholars, is supposedly of the students and is therefore not above our questions. Indeed it has been shown that many of our questions are above it. The Administration has "asked" that we abide by the Calendar for the purpose of degree credits. Why is it that we may not follow the Calendar in this instance? There a r e other questions too. Why is it that th4: faculty, who must be cons1dE:red a part of this community of THE ARGUS sch?la_rs, do not have. to PSI.! sumJ~r fee for their plugms? Why n_,.u_st students pay !or the pnvilege of entermg a course and then pay for the privilege of get~g close enough to the buildings to take the course? Why did the AMS take so long to act on this issue? Why didn't the AMS recognize this as an issue? Does the AMS know when this regulation was changed? Does the AMS believe that there could be any valid reason for ,raising or even applying such a fee?

Monique est une jeune femme tres jolie, tres vivante. Tout d'abord, elle refusa de parler politique, reiterant son refus plusieurs reprises. Lorsque nous lui avons demande pourquoi elle avait exprime !'opinion qu'elle trouvait l'auditoire de !'Ontario. plus difficile a plaire que d'autres, comme celui de la Bussie ou de la France ou des Etats-Unis, elle manifesta son etonnement: ''J'ai peur," dit-elle, "que ~on opinion ait ete completement mal interpretee. Je ne voulais pas venir chanter au Canada anglais parce que je croyais qu'il n y aurait pas assez de personnes qui s y interessent a venir m'entendre. Comme ii y en a, alors c'est different. C,ela me fait plaisir, et je ne trouve pas le public ici plus difficile qu'ailleurs." Elle a chante un peu partout, mais surtout depuis un mois et demi. Elle a chante pour la premiere fois Toronto l'annee demiere. Elle finit maintenant une tournee de tout le Canada, c'est-a-dire qu'elle a chante dans le Manitoba, !'Alberta, la Colombie Britannique, Jes territoires du Nord-ouest, l'Ile du Prince Edward, le Nouveau Brunswick et l'Ontario. Demain, elle sera Strathford avec sa troupe de musiciens, et ce sera la fin de la toumee.. Elle discuta ensuite un de ses disques qui a ete joue tout demierement au Club Fran~ais, ici notre universite, et qui s'appelle "Le mariage anglais," une ballade fran~caise du l Seme siecle. Elle dit ne mettre aucune significaf:ion speciale dans ses chansons. Ensuite, elle discuta la carriere de Melle Joan Biaz qui est une chanteuse americaine de protestation. Ciette chan teuse a un grand repertoire, mais Monique, qui pourtant adore a a a a Joan Biaz, dit qu'elle ne veut pas se meler de politique. Le but d'un artiste est d'amuser son auditoire. Elle pense aller au Japon avant la prochaine exposition, e meme pendant que celle-le durera. Pour ce qui est des autr pays d'Orient, comm~ l'Australie, elle n'a pas de projet. Elle va ou son metier la porte et ne desire pas etre la representante de )!!;ipolitiques! ni d'etablir de relations ~tre le Cana~ fran~ais. et ' les pays etrangers. Elle veut tout srmplement faire son. metier de chanteuse, ce qu'elle fait admirablement bien d'ailleurs. Quand l'un de nous lui a demande si elle esperait uh jour prendre part dans une comedie musicale fran~aise, elle repondit que les comedies musicales fran~aises, n'existent pas. Qu'il y avait eu beaucoup de tentatives, mais jusqu'ici aucune reussite. Que si le jour venait ou ii y en aurait qu'elle serait ravie d'en prendre part, d'y jouer un role. Elle comments alors sur son refus de permettre un de nos reporters de prendre des photos, disant qu'elle n'etait pas tout instant prete prendre des photos, qu'elle n'avait pas vingt ans, et que quand elle se sentait fatiguee, comme elle l'etait apres une toumee d'un mois et demi, elle ne voulait pas voir dans Jes joumaux sa tete qui ne serait peu son goftt. . Pour Monique, la partie la plus attrayant.e de son metier est le moment de la preparation avant la representation, ou les pre•eres fois qu'elle presente des chansons au public.

And many of those present had never heard of Monique ·Leyrac before. This same audience, which sat on its hands for most of the night, were on their feet for three curtain calls at the end of a varied and times exciting programme. Mlle. Leyrac opened with "Ce Soleil" and her apparent nervousness disappeared as she swung coyly into her first English song "One More Dance." It was in the English portions of the performance that she slipped from the heights she attained in the FTench selections. This is not to say that Mlle. Leyrac did not deliver her English selections with authority but they could not compare with the picture she ·creat.ed in t h e Vigneault, Levefilee song, l'Hiver. In the first set she demonstrated h e r versatility with a wide range of moods and tempos. Of particular note were "e Le Vent de i' Hiver", "Tout Mais Pas Ca" and the lively, foot-stomping, "Pot-Pourri." The latter did not receive the response it deserved from a slightly reserved audience. The second set was stronger. The reaction of an audience will greatly affect the output of a performer and in this portion of the programme we were closer to each other. We were moved by "Pendant Que" and the almost pleading "Parlez - Moi de Vous"; greatly amused by "John Sebastian Bach" and "I Wouldn't Walle Across the Street." We were again reminded. of Mlle. Leyrac's versatility in the lively "La Valse minute" and the stirring, powerful "La Manikoutai." If there was a particular weak spot it was in "If You Go Away," which the singer interpreted too emo- tionally. Through the whole performance M 11 e. Leyrac's prowess as an internationally acclaimed artist was never really in doubt. Conte's most difficult "Ainsi Soit-D" left the audience gasping at the polish with which she handled its intricacies. It is questionable whether Mlle. Leyrac deserved the standing ovation she received, for this was not an inspired performance, and she was visibly surprised at the ovation herself. Perhaps it was that she -con~eyed more of Monique Leyrac than she wished. Perhaps too, it was because of the words of the emotional and beautiful "Mon Pays," which may someday rank as Canada's national song. Mlle. Leyrac never stooped to conquer but rather lifted us to her and to her level of perfection. That is always more satisfying for the audience. �November 9, 1967 Page 7 TijE ARGUS The real unreal \NOrld of Arms and the Man by simon hoad Waiting, perhaps the whole picture of theatre group acting is rounded by waiting. A large portion of nights, four a week, in a select little band with chailrs, empty table and a script. Cups of instant coffee, battered lump sugar, and coonmunional cigarettes consumed for break. First rehearsals, w i t h scripts, and rough blocking. Walk around fictitious tables, into invisible doorways. Cold, alternate night journies; Slovac Legion, University theatre. Cigarette extinguished, c o f f e e placed down, shoulders straighten, and a tired man metamorphaizes into a Bulgarian officer. Group spirit exists, fostered by workng association, common interest. The structure grows larger. Actors must be closed by a dozen barriers; sets, props, and costumes. Grey afternoon trip to Founders Museum, with assorted amusements loading and unloading an old railwav caboose stove. Week later red truck drive to return, swap, too much Northern Ontario for a more Bulgarian stove. Fittings of braid and boots. The abstract reality of rehearsal, lines now memorized after a fashion, becomes fleshed in with a prop or three. Now success becomes more than actors. Backstage crew, create, change, scrap, or make do, by their work a set emerges. Ttckets, publicity and you wander around, dunning friends to buy your wares. Dress rehearsal, as technical difficulties, forseen and unforseen, create six hours o f .waiting. Performance night, and first glance at the program, did they spell .mv name correctly and what did they say about me. Makeup, smear on, wipe and with unaccustomed finesse stick an eye brow pencil into your eye. Wait, in the costume room, wait offstage, wait onstage. Lights down, curtain up. More waiting, now a trained wait, with one last frantic thought, what's my cue. That one step, from dark, warm obscurity lo bright, hard exposure. Many faced anonimity pooled in the darkness, a row of blank shadow faces, multiplied by many, all watching. Walk off, hot, sweaty and thinking of that slip y o u always make, apparent, with luck, only to you and the director. Play end, curtain, and <?urtain call, a line of peoples advances and bows. Clean up, dress and as a cliche, out for a drink. Home, and when this play ends it really doesn't, for the routine is always the same.

Congratulations Lakeheadl As a recent import to Port Arthur, I was extremely impressed by the talent of our local folk singers, and of course I was swept up by the humourous, and at times riotous, Travellers. The audience was almost lulled to l;}eep during the first is minutes of the show by Tom Kelly's "Squire James"' jokes (maybe they'll catch on), Mary McKimm's two self-composed ballads and the Freemen's first two numbers. I'm not knocking the obviously good talent but just the terribly quiet and peaceful atmosphere provid- ed at the beginning. WOISHWILL SAVES After a ballet of microphones and several renditions of a favorite Chinese !olksot\g "tu ning'', the· dozing audience spines were stTaightened by a relatively new Lakehead talent, Andy Woishwlll. I had never seen him perform, but had been told that he followed early Bob Dylan, Tom Rush, and Eric Anderson. His performance was exciting and had a definite professional air. He doesn't just sing a song he- believes it. This is •more than can be said for most "new-type" folk singers. I could have listened to much 0 u R B 0 0 K s T 0 R E by wendy wilson photos bill esarik more of him on Thursday night. TRAViELLERS TERRIFIC Things had definitely begun to look up on stage. When the Travellers appeared my little heart was oh so happy. I immediately fell in love with the lead .male singer, Ray Woodleyhe reminded me of my hero, Michael Caine. Unfortunately the Travellers had to perform amid persistant microphone troub les. At one point the guitarist Amos Garrett was moved to balancing on his toes in order to use a live mike. Their songs were lively and just what was needed totally to awaken the previously sleepy audience. Their "1-akehead Junction" bJ;"Ought tears to my -cold Winnipeg eyes, while the other songs· induced a laugh from my usually quiet humour corrtrol mechanism. LOCALS SHIHE After a fun-filled intermission and a nose-wrinkling introduction to part n of the Arts Folk Spectacular '67, Frank Shoemaker entertained. Once again I was astonished at the fantastic local talent. His songs, both written by himself, were favourably received l:>y both my ears and those of the audience. At this point the stage.was invaded by a multitude of guitars, bass, and violin called the Ramblers. They produced a very definite Western sound which prodded the audience to foottapping and, once in a while, "Ya hooing'' in the background. I didn't think the Go Go dancers were necessary in an extremely well played version of the "Orange Blossom Special", but . . . When Tom Kelly stopped talking and started singing the audience really began to listen. Tom "Good Guy" Kelly has a marvellous voice and did a beautiful rendition of "Danny Boy." It even made me, a staunch Cana- dian, wish I was more than one-sixteenth Irish. TRAVELLERS "BOSS" Once again the Travellers took over the whole audience. Their humour fai· outshone their musical prowe~ -and they are very good musicians. Thanks to the Travellers everyone in the place left with a huge grin on his face. They were _great! So I'm impressed, the audience was impressed everybody was impressed. The Arts. Society and the Folk Guild did a commendable job and should be congratulated. MeDONALII~ CIJBBIE & CO.

Some have spent time in other countries, e.g. the United Kingdom, the States, Australia, etc. There is another point which M. Sze-Chung Yuan reminded me about: the number of Chinese students that are stu<flying at J&lladian universities is not about 600 but far more. According to the Canadian section of the Commonwealth UniverYearbook of 1966, there are 761 . students from Hong Kong and 320 from Formosa in 1963-64. It is evident that the number of Chinese students increases greatly- every year. I would• like to estilhate that at this moment there are about 2000 Chinese students studying throughout Canada. Of course, the majority are from Hong Kong. As reported in the same article that Mr. Yuan said that the Hong Kong students had no trouble in adjusting to life in the Lakehead. But, remember there are two sides to the coin. This applies to the Chinese students adapting to the Canadian life. Apparently there seems to be little or no difficulties for these students to stay here. Actually they are facing a great challenge. For instance, the weather; the different tastes in foods, and the difference in _languages are the hardships which they have to overcome. In addition, they are not used to the bus service (I am not criticizing it) because they are unfamiliar with it. However, I trust t.hat difficulties, once overcome, will .make them feel better qualified to- exist in this world. Sincerely, Michael W. Li. Sir: . The article that recently appeared in the ARGUS (Nov. 2) edition puts forth a very strong -point. We agree that the mess should be cleaned up by the students. The reason we think that there is garbage sitting around is that there is garbage being served which someone has classed as. being food. • At the beginning of September we noticed quite a change in the coffee; it was better than it had been the previous year (1966-67 session) but to date it has gotten back to its original old shoe taste. We also noticed that: -the chili ii; reheated from day to day, cold -the chips seem uncooked, cold -the hamburgers are dry and lifeless, cold -etc, etc. One remedy for the food is to cook it yourself at home or to douse it with ketchup, salt, or pepper. Another remedy is bicarbonate af soda or T.P. Although these are only a few examples the complaint can be found with the other pig swale. We also think that prices have been run down enough, although a b o v e normal. meals (potatoes, meat vegetables, and desert) can 'be bought at other universities such as Queen's or McGill for under a dollar. Compare prices. P.S. Is the first idea of a business to make one helluva profit and then to provide a service ?

I have been called stupid, etc., for going there. Nobody understands that I want to be a teacher like another person wants to be a lawyer. I don't know if the students have a dislike for the institution, the profession, or the student body. There are all these supposedly open-minded students who think you are square or something else just because you go to L.T.C. :i'hey judge you by the building you attend, not by your own individual personality. In my eyes, these people are ignorant slobs. I do not conliemn them for the profession they are entering; rather judge them by the type of person they are. Nlost people, 1 think, still have the image of a dictatorial bitch of a teacher which they 'bad when ijley went to school. If this is w h y they judge us as they do, the:r are again unfair. They are judging us by someone else's acts. Today, as teachers, we are learning to run a democratic classroom. Everything is planned around the students' individual differences. We wi:ll do more in the shaping of our society than any parent or any other fat ass stting around writing of the problems in the world will. In July we will b.e joining with Lakehead U. Already you have asked us or included us in your athletic programme. But I'm sure if the majority of students had their way, we would be completely ignored. Just a small, insignificant example of that is the fact that on the radio an announcement said that your dance was open to university students and nurses only. I have been informed that football was practised on days which we were out teaching, thus we couldn't participate. Also that none of our boys can play in the final basketball games. I don't know how valid this is, but I do know we often give up the use of our gym for your people to practise in. Thus it would be only fair to let us participate. But sports isn't the topic I decided to write about. I don't know if this cold block (mental) will ever be lifted from most of the minds of the university students. I tend to doubt that these narrow-minded people that are so much better than us will e"!'er judge individuals for what they a i' e worth. Most of the kids at the college are great. I'm sure if you dared to associate with them you might have many "zestful experiences." After working at the O.H. Tuesday nights we go to the Shoreline, if you care to join us. I would like to be informed on how widespread this attitude towards L.T.C. is. I'm not saying everyone has this attitude, but others, as well as myself, have noticed it through comments, COME IN TO SEE Our Gifts & China lease Don't Touch! etc Maiybe an opinion poll on what the L.U. students think of the "things" over at Teachers College would provide me with an answer.

'l'he element of society "which e&WjeS the most grief" is, of course the government. There a.re two methods of keeping a nation in order. One is by brute strength, the other by deception. There is no country in the world today which operates without the use of both of these methods, although the degree to which each of these is utilized varies. Naturally, opposing countries play u p each other's faults by showing their people h o w tht! "enemy" pushes it populace around and witholds the truth. And when one man realizes that his country is just as guilty as all the rest, it may be a difficult thing for him to carry on support,. ing something he does not believe in. This , I believe sums up the esse nce of the hippie movement. There are thousands of things people would like to see changed, but here 1 would rather point to the cause of the hippies' 'flroblems: the government. I will speak' of the United States in particular, as that country is supposedly the symbol of free· dom in the world today. The government ol the United States ha& gained too much ·power and those who have it want to keep it and spread it liberally over the globe. This is a natural reaction. They are succeeding, and they believe they are ri(bt. The most clear cut example of this is of course the Vietnacese War. It is fairly clear that the South Vietnamese a rm y cannot stand up to the Viet Cong without American troops to help. There is no evidence of Communist troops comJng in from countries outside of Vietnam - only weapons. If America left all her weapons in South Vietnamese hands, the country would still fall to the Communists. This suggests to me that there is at least a strong minorifiy of Communists in Vietnam, but America seems to have forgotten this, as in the "free" election, when there was no mention of a Communist candidate. Is the United States standing for the free. dom to chose one's own government, or for her own b~d! k. if this isn't enough to send the freedom • loving American, into depths of despair, take a look at what happene4 to President Kennedy. U t h e peop1e don't mind seeing their country obstructing freedom, per~s they mind seeing it obstructing justice. The Warren Report is proof il'.) itself that Lee Harvey Oswald did not assassinate Kennedy. Jim Garrison, a New Orleans district attorney, recognized this fact and set out to discover what happened. He has received news coverage (as little as possible), ridiculou.s charges, and in general every kind of hindrance possible, sbQrt of being thrown in jail himself. 'Witnesses keep dying. The Central .Intelligence Agency k e e p s "classifying" their files on Jack Ruby, Oswald, and several other people.

Perhaps if the truth was publicly known the gav. emment would not look so good. These are only two ex-amples. People like to think they're being told the truth, and sometimes they try to find out ·for sure. If t he quest for truth itself becomes strong enough, it cannot be blinded by a belief in what a country says. People begin to realize that all might not be the way it seems. So what is leftY You can hold strongly to your values, and you can get hurt. Or you can accept the facts and try to better them by helping others see. But you can still get hurt,. When the facts can be so effectively di.,gui:sed on major .issues, as these, imagine what might be happening in smaller incidents. The hippies, I believe, are a .nurture of people who have given up hope of an answer, others who see their llle ai the best method of protest they have, and attn othn'8 who have aone along f o r the trip.

After a disappointing season Lakehead Mustangs gave it all they had and put on a .fine display in Winnipeg against the St. James Rams. However, they fell to the powerful Rams 26-12. In the 4th quarter the Mustangs gave up two touchdowns. It appeared they were tiring, due to the fact that several key positions were played by men going both ways. This was mainly because of the rookie laden roster of the club. Commenting on the game and season, Coach Bill Shannon said: "This past season was a rebuilding year for Lakehead Mustangs which brought together the established Mustangs, members of the now defunct Redskins, Lakehead University students, plus fine rookies from the High School ranks. It was my decision that win or lose we must play the rookies to give them experience. My greatest problem, having made the decision, was to keep the team from becoming discouraged when they lost aJ.ame badly. They did not become discourage , a fact made obvious by the tremendous showing in the semi-final game· a game which we lost on the scoreboard but which was a moral victory for the young Mustangs.'' • "<;,oach Shann~n•s points are well spoken, for 1t was definitely obvious that the game experience will provide a cohesive nucleus to build on Aext season," said John McLeod a rookie quatterback and end, in Arts I. ' Other uhiversity men on the team were: Don Smith-interior linebacker; Graham Hall-halfback and punter; John Buie-defensive halfback; Dave Montgomery-guard; Brian Sheehan-end; Harold Mickelson-guard and interior; Eero Vuorinen-guard and interior; Joe Barube-guard; l>ave Bahrynowski-fullb. and def. haH; Pete Andros-def. safety; George Keffer-def. halfback. Said Peter Andros in summing up, "With the return of several of these players as well as other veterans and rookies the Mustangs should be a team to contend with in the future. There are several students in the university who should have been playing but figured they wouldn't make it or just didn't care since it wasn't a university sport. Support the Mustangs next year and it won't be long before the university has a team of its own." S.A.S. report by glenn rajala The last SAS meeting saw the Chinese students represented by· Tory Tai.

Today we travel by road, rail, water, and air to all parts of the continent and the world. Resources and finished products move with ease from the manufacturer to the market. ANTIQUATED CONCEPTS But our methods of design for these new services are based on antiquated concepts. If our railroad track gauge was widened to half again its size, we could run trains at 200 mil.es per hour and control them. by computor. Using the concept of the flying wing, our air craft could be built to carry tons more for less fuel; the flying wing could be crash-proof and all serviced from the inside (engines too). A continental hydrology system could integrate the rivers and lakes of this continent to permit bulk transportation of materials at a cost of one-tenth per ton-mile the present railroad costs. Motor vehicles could be run by a buried cable up the centre of the lanes, with radar to prevent colJisions. Our welfare rests upon an efficient transportation system, and we need all of the above. RESOURCES SPREAD With our people and resources spread out across the face of the continent as they are, we need vast supplies of power in every corner of the country. Our high energy civilization will soon be converting over 20,000 kilo gram calories per person per day. With our present knowledge, we can build a power grid with lines capable of carrying 1,000,000 volts D.C. current for a distance of over 3,000 miles with only a 10 per cent transmission loss. This continent h a s a rendezvous with destiny and in that destiny lies the future of ,civilization. That destiny will not tolerate the politician and poverty, the economic pestilence of this price system. This continent has no choice but to lead the march of civilization. The opportunity is given to no other continent. The twentieth century belongs to North America. This continent's rendezvous with destiny, its task, is the elimination of human toil and the installation· of security and abundance. This continent will have its rendezvous with destiny within the next decade and upon this generation of North Americans will fall the competent and orderly achievement of a new civilization. This generation has the technology, the men, the material and ·, the machinery for its accomplishment. BIGGEST CHANGE IN HISTORY Let us renew the march of events that wll make this the biggest Social Change in history. When the white man came to North America there were approximately four million American Aboriginies on the land mass north of the equator. Today there are 400 mllions in this same area. Those 400 millions are being supported by the biggest array of technological equipment on the face of t he earth. That technology produces its goods and services by expending energy a n d moulding resources. T h e sources of requisite energy and other materials are located across the length and breadth of this continent. We get oil from Venezuala, Texas, Pennsylvania, and Northern Alberta. We use electric power generated in Northern British Columbia, Southern Ontario, and the Tennessee Valley. Oranges come from Florid;i and California. Iron ore is mined in Labrador a n d Minnesota. Coffee comes from Latin America and wheat cmnes from the Prairies. We need a social order, based upon geomechanics to survey and supervise vast areas of the earth both on the ground and below, to guarantee that our livlihood is maintained. Before the coming of the white man to North America, the native population travelled by foot. This mode of transportation and the existing agriculturiµ and/ or travelling hunter types of society soon set an . upper limit on the population and the standard of living.

Power from Churchill would be available in New Mexico. PREVAILING ORDER PRICE SYSTEM The prevailing social order in North America is a price !O"Stem. Such a system is predicated upon turning of natural resources into dollars. To continue such a scheme, the economy must grow at a compound interest rate each year. This rate of expansion based . upon physical growth is impossible to maintain indefinitely. But while it does go on, it is responsible for a profligate waste of resources, both human and phys~cal. As a result of these trends North America faces a crisis in each of air and water polution, adequate housing facilities, soaring costs of living, shortages of irreplacabre resources, and incompetent and insufficient educational personnel and facilities. A crisis is just around the corner.

University VOLUME 2, No. IX LAKEHEAD UNIVERSITY, PORT ARTHUR, ONTARIO November 16, 1967 EIGHT PAGES Miller Speaks Out Dr. Tom Miller Dr. Tom Miller, Chairman of the History Department, spoke out Friday night against- the trend in university administration, and in particular against the DuffBirdall report. History Department Duff-Birdall Report Chairman Poor Apology by rod phillips (cus chairman) The "long ovedue defense" 'of the AMS Executive and Council by Mr. Bill Weiler, AMS Vice-President (Argus Nov. 9) reads as a poor apology. Mr. Weiler first points out that confusion developed in part because of Wendy Ticknor's resignation as AMS Secretary, and that "we (the AMS Executive) are swamped with extra duties." Do you remember Miss Ticknor's statement (Argus Nov. 2): "When you would try to help them by doing some of their work, they would never show you how it was done, or they would say they would do it later, later, later. I found I was putting in too much time for the work I was accomplishing. I did all my own work, plus lots of financial stuff and lots of other things besides."? Perhaps Mr. Weiler's "extra duties" consist in large part of his normal duties. Mr. Weiler attempts to justify AMS Council's action owr the registration issue. He states: "I contend that the a c t i o n s we took did get us the results we wanted. Ask around: how many students are still affected? I'm sure the answer is 'none'." Perhaps, Mr. Weiler. However, I was under the impression that the issue was to be approached on the basis of principle before specifics. I contend that the principles have yet to be resolved. Mr. Weiler speaks of the CUS Secretariat members who were consulted on the registration issue: I have no intention of being dictated to by someone who openly states his belief in sydicalism . . . and whose decisions reflect this belief." Mr. Weiler, no one asked that you submit to •dictation only that you listen to suggestion. And to reject an individual's recommendations on a specific issue, using the criterion of the individuars political and social. beliefs instead of the criterion of the merits of the recommendations per se, seems to me to be an imtnmature attitude to adopt. I contend that the Alma Mater Society is essentially syndicalist in nature - and compulsory, to boot. Does Mr. Weiler wish to withdraw his open (or is it covert?) su~port of the AMS? Mr. Weiler refers to a letter published in the Argus some weeks ago, which stated, inter alia, that council discussed "at great length such important matters as where they will obtain a double-reverse bottle holder, dripper - and - jigger - fbrer." Mr. Weiler says "perhaps I was asleep when that came up, but I still cannot find it in the agenda." Mr. Weiler, a number of students present at that Council meeting will testify that the item was discussed, and at great length. I personally cut off the discussion. Perhaps you were indeed asleep. Mr. Weiler suggests that the motion to limit discussion on the registration issue to one half hour was valid because "this particullar discussion lasted one hour and fifteen minuates. Remembering that this was one item of twelve on the agenda; at that rate the meeting would have lasted fifteen hours." Mr. Weller's point is no doubt mathematically suond, but it is simultaneously meaningless witltin its context, and I consider its inclusion in the "defense" an assinine decision. It may not be irrelevant to note at this point that if all twelve items were limited to thirty minutes, the meeting would have lasred six hours i.e. until 2 a.m. But so what? I shall not deal with Mr. Weller's petty personal. attacks and snide remarks. They merit no discussion. I realize that discussion could now rage between Mr. Weiler and myself in the columns of the Argus f o r weeks to oome. It is not my wish that this be so; I desire a positive conclusion. I therefore challenge Kr. Weiler to defend publicly the activities and attitudes of the present Alma Mater Society Executive and Council. I will meet him on the stage of •t h e University Theatre on Friday, November 17, at 12:30 p.m. He may choose a mediator for the debate, which will be open to all members of the university. I will be there. Will you. Mr. Weiler? This report, published in early 1966, is supposed to be the model for university administrations, and, according to Dr. Miller, is a farce. An over-all impression of the report revealed that the administration was to be rated far above the teaching staff, and that the aim of faculty was to join the ad: ministration. It is to be therefore assumed, that the faculty should be more aware of the greater rewards .to be found in the administration than the exercise of the profession. The report was cerned with a voice for faculty i n administrative matters, however, Dr. Miller feels that the Canadian Association o f University Teachers has overlooked the fact that there is a threat of faculty becoming assimilated into the administration, for the simple reason that the report "seemed to be an improvement." At its conception, the report was s t a n d a r d thinking, with C.A.U.T. sharing these views as a step forwai-d for faculty members. con- 'Good Deans' As Dr. Miller pointed out, "there is a tendency for the good Deans to join the ranks of the administrators after their term of office, and for the poorer Deans to return to the faculty." Dr. Miller went on to say that there is a good example of faculty subordination to administration evident on campus right now, in the parking lot, as "faculty must wal.k two miles through a blizzard, and the administration has a short 50 feet to the doors of the university." This, he pointed out later, was trivia compared to the greater· lengths to which the faculty has begun to take a second place to the administration. Nor is this just the case at Lakehead, for Dr. Miller said that he was aware of other matters across the country, which added insult to the profession of teaching in universities. The parking lot, according to Dr. Miller, ''is again symbolic of the subordination of faculty to administration." . "In the administration, as well as in othelr areas of university affairs, there is a tendency for institutional loyalty to rate higher than the end of the institution, that being the dissemination of knowledge." Pluralistic Approach ..c: According to Dr. Miller, there are three ways that the job at the top may be assumed nowaday.s,. a n d these are; simply being around long enough to take over, evoking a leade1·ship quality, and inspiring confidence. When asked how he would like to see the administration,. Dr. Miller replied that "there should be a pluralistic rather than unitarian approach to administrative matters, with no top position per se, instead with a shift of power to groups, as an example wherein a particullar group or person will have a large voice in matters of ciriculum, and a small voice concerning building programmes. This of course is all dependent on current needs and interests." Later, in interview with the ARGUS, he commented on the present student government at Lakehead, and pointed out "that, as in all forms of government, there is a trend towards becoming an administration, and that in this process, they will inherit all the bad and good features of government as such." He cautioned student government to be aware of "coJDlllunity backlash" when dealing with matters pertinent to student interes~ and that the job of student government was to strive towards providing good teaching and a good atmosphere for the university. Concerning student repre- ... ., sentation on the Senate, Dr. Miller said that there was a potential threat to student government as this might be the first step towards "students being also assimilated into the administration, and therefore becoming alienated from the purpose of the university.' It is Dr. Miller's hope that the students would attempt to keep the university "small enough so that participatory d e m o c r a c y means something." �Page 2 THE ARGUS November 16, 1967 - ~ ;:======;.--------------~----..iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii~;;;;;;;;;;;; L.U.

L.U.U.C. (Lakehead University Ukrainian Club) held its meeting under the leisurely and relaxtive atmosphere at the home of Leonard Hartley where activities for the coming year were planned. Ways of contribution to the academic and cultural output of this university were brought forth in the form of concerts, lecturers and the winter carnival. One of L.U.U.C.'s primary concerns is to try to develop individuality. This concept we advocate with great enthusiasm as we strive towards greater school participation. It is easy to fall prey to a static and conventional way of life and for this reason individuality is very important in all segments of our society. Membership is not restricted in any sense, and anyone interested in joining is cordially invited to attend. Our aim is to attract new members, and keep our present members active at all times. If you have any desire to join L.U.U.C. contact any of the members for information. Seminar Arts Council The AMS council is planning a seminar on The University Today to be held during the Christmas Holl~ days or the first week of January. The purpose of the seminar is to involve the university and the community in a dialogue which will lead to a better understanding of Lakehead U. and of its students and faculty. Universities in Ontario and Manitoba will be invited to send delegates, and local groups will be asked to participate in the discussions. The committee organizing this event is; Julie Wierzbicki, Bill Weiler and Wendy Ticknor. Many other students and faculty have offered their suggestions, and anyone having any ideas is asked to contribute to the cause. The committee will be meeting Monday, November 13 at 3:00 p.m. in the vice-presidential office. Designs for an Arts crest are now being accepted by Arts President Mr. Pentti Paularinine. At the council meeting of Wednesday, November 8, it was decided that since the Arts Society did not have an official crest, a call would go out to Arts students to submit designs for such a crest. Moreover, there is one stipulation that the colours used be red and white. All designs m u s t be handed in by Christmas, to either the Arts office or the AMS Information Booth.

I'm still getting those intimidating "illegal parking" notices on my windshield. I've enough of those blue, massproduced dittos to wallpaper the entire University ADMINISTRATION office. And what makes me laugh is that the whole parking thing is a game the ADMINISTRATION is playing. It's a survey. They want to see how many student car drivers will cough up 20 bucks without a word of protest. I think it's a sheep count. Of course the money will be refunded later and we'll get together with the ADMINISTRATION over a cup of coffee and laugh it up as "our" little joke. But, in the meantime, the ADMINISTRATION threatens but hesitates to remove the so called "illegally parked" vehicles from the lots. Obviously someone at the top is having a pang of conscience about the "unjust'' regulations. Thank you CONSCIENCE. My car along with a hundred others would have been towed away a long time ago. Or should I thank FEAR? Fear that such harsh action would precipitate a student revolt, demonstrations, sit-'ins, protest pickets . . . ADVERSE PUBLICITY. (Removing an auto without the owner's consent comes under the CRIMINAL CODE!) But let's play the game by the book ... the Lakehead University Calendar, circa late 196 7 ( very late). Page 215 says in beautiful print: "There is no charge for parking in the general parking lots (note plural)." And WHERE, pray tell, ARE the FREE parking lots? over at the Lakehead Teachers' College? or perhaps hidden under those newly-made ''burial mounds'' at the University's entrance? Why did free parking EVAPORATE when the SUPREME COMMAND moved into the parking lot business? If you can't believe what you read in the University Calendar what can you believe? You certainly can't believe "a limited number of parking spaces with electric power'' are available at "10 dollars per space." (Also on page 215).

I remain, yours in frustration, B.W.H. Arts II. My Dear Miss Walberg: After reading your letter I felt a tremendous sympathy for you. The sympathy arouse out of the fact that you have not yet opened your eyes. You want to be a teacher and that is admirable, but you as yet have no idea of what that means. Do not assume that because university students criticize you, they have no valid reason to do so. You mention that you are "learning to run a democratic classroom." Look again Miss Walberg, you are being TRAINED to control. Rare will be the school where you can be democratic in your classroom. You will find little time to cater to individual students let alone time to recognize their differences. You are correct when you say that you will do a great deal to shape society, but do not let self esteem dictate too much. You are being trained to entice students to swallow what YOU want them to. You are being trained to form lines, mark registers, keep your room pleasant and the students dutiful. When you teach next year you may try to ap_ply some of your beliefs and if you are very fortunate you will be allowed to work unhindered. Don't count on it. If you have not yet questioned the system you have been brought up in you will not be a worthwhile teacher. If you have not wondered about the methods employed in your present institution then you are not mature enough to be a teacher. Education is not a game and pupils are not footballs. It is not your job ~o m~uld or shape ~nybody. There are ~ough pressures on pupils without ~ou ad~g moi:e. 1:ou 51;! MISS Walberg you are all ready becommg a dictatonal bitch. .

Let them have the fun and joy of finding them alone. The fact that you want to be a teacher and your concern for the individual gives you the jump on the majority. But think, Miss Walberg, think some more before you race off to shape society. There may be reasons why L.T.C. is frowned at. And please excuse me for "sitting on my fat ass and writing about the problems of the world." Hopefully, BOYD HUSSEY, Arts I. Journalists? Dear Journalists? • I think it's time we stopped complaining about the food in the cafeteria. Why not be critical of the reading material you are producing? I believe a student's newspaper should follow the example of a professional paper. It should consist of the factual truth. Slander and maligning are not part of such a paper. Freedom of the press is fine but not the freedom of ridicule. Not only does such material reflect the intelle~t o~ the writer but also the unethical values of the staff allowmg 1t to appear.

Page 4 Council this vveek editorial comment by chad hannah "What'll we do if Student Government comes t.o Council." Such was the comment made by one member of the AMS Council at the meeting held on November 8. The above statement, I believe, adequately describes the procedures of the Council. Petty bickering over rules of order on the part of the Chairman and the members still takes up most of the time in Council meetings-time that should be devoted to important points on the agenda. SELECTION DEFERRED In this connection, the selection of the new AMS Executive Secretary was deferred until the following day at a special meeting, due to the fact that only two candidates were present and thereby able to .present their positions regarding matters of the AMS and the Executive. The attention of the President was drawn towards the fact that the candidates were informed by telephone of the meeting approximately ninety minutes before the selection was to take place, therefore giving them a mere hour and a half to prepare themselves to face the Councillors. In the discussion that was to follow ( discussion later ruled out of order), one observer argued that this was hardly enough time for the candidates to prepare a resume suitable for presentation, and that Mr. Young was not considering the magnitude of the position and the responsibilities therein, in the light of the withdrawal by the past secretary, when he personally called the persons applying for the job. Previous to the item regarding the AMS Secretary, Council voted 7-3 in favour of denying the United Appeal a $100.00 gift on the grounds that "if we give them some, everyone will want some" and "why should we give to them when we already turned down the Miles for Millions campaign?" » November 16, 1967 Tl;IE ARGUS COUP DE GRACE After much heated debate over a $180.00 subsidy to be given to the,Lakehead University Ukrainian Club for a member to travel to .New York to attend the World Conference of Ukrainians, the motion failed 8-7 with I abstention of Mr. McCormick. At this point Mr. Bert Baumann, Miss Julie Wierzbicki and Mr. George Paddington all resigned from the Conference Committee. Now comes a remarkable move: Mr. McCormick moved that the Council subsidize the L. U. Ukrainian Club to the sum of $179.60. Upon conferring with the Chief Justice, Mr. Young recommended that Mr. McCormick lower the sum to prevent the Council from "looking silly.'' Mr. McCormick then moved that the club be subsidized to the amount of $160.00. The result of the vote that was to follow was an 8-8 tie, the Chairman then cast the deciding vote in favour of the motion. This was the general trend of the meeting, and is not difficult for one to come to the conclusion that the A.M.S. Council does nothing but sit once a week and squabble over points of order, and the shelling out of two or three dollars here and there. Right now there are several programmes under way that should be brou$ht to the attention of the Council, one of these items consists of the C.U.S. Resolutions passed at the last C.U.S. Congress in September. The plan at that time was to bring two resolutions to each and every council meeting to be voted on. Thus far, not one of these resolutions has come before the body and at the last meeting, Mr. Young said that he would have them ready for discussion beginning at the next meeting of council. It is a widely known fact that the President spent a rather slow summer, but, must this continue? Are the student of this university to be satisfied with mere empty promises on the part of our President, are we to stand by and watch as our affairs continue to be mismanaged? I, for one, say emphatically "NO.'' We must then take it upon ourselves to lobby with our respective councillors, and to express our mass discontent to those responsible. \.Ve shall not continue to stand idle and watch as our system of university government crumples and runs through the hands of incompetants. It may be a paradox, however, that system of university government now in use is obviously inefficient and unproductive. There is no alternative open, but to scrap entirely the system in use in favour of a better one. One closing word 'of caution: do not elect your next executive or council in a popularity poll, it just doesn't work. attend A.M.S. Council Meetings ·O pen Letter Dear Sir: The Argus reported last week that "the first step toward full student representation" had been taken, as the Senate agreed to hear "written briefs on matters in the agenda related directly to the Student Body." I have no doubt that Tamblyn and Co. were buying free rounds the night they heard THAT hailed by our imnipotent President Peter Young as a "significant breakthrough." How in God's name can he be so consistently naive? Are the rumours true that he has been "bought" by the administra- tion with t h e offer of a choice P.R. next year? Have the University Committee tea parties at the Tamblyn shanty got to him? Or does he. just not know what he is doing? I recall the development of this same issue at Sir George Williams University 1 a s t summer. Incidently, there was some advance planning done there. They knew very well that their administration was going to offer a token, such as we have accepted, and decided strongly that they would· refuse it and press for full representation. They won resoundingly. Here, where no planning was done, the AMS snatched the proverbial carrot and can now, after making success noises, retire to their offices to munch on it for a few years. I hope they choke. With decisions of such incompetence being made by our elected representatives, it is hard to knock the administration. They k n ow very well that full members from this year's AMS council would so bung up Senate proceedings with sophomoric nonsense that its effectiveness would be seriously compromised. Ignoring for a moment the type and quality of this years student government, the fact is that we, the students, have been snowed; and cheated out of effective voice on the Senate. The resolution, as reported, allows the AMS to present "written briefs on matters in the agenda relating di- ( l \; bt .Senatt--f • I ( f I ,s hitppy cussed, to I isf-e 0 s+uc:len I problem 's. -. I '' I ,/ 1 ~ '\ ~ __: -1/ I , IJ~ I - - ' • - ....,.____ ~==--- - - -_-- - ~ : - _ --:- THE ARGUS . rectly to the student body." Good sense and any knowledge of debate makes it clear that no one, particularly our notoriously unaware AMS council, has the knowledge or the ability to produce a convincing document before a discussion has even begun. To be effective, representation on the Senate must be continuous, involved informed, and above all, equal. The S e n a t e discusses matters of ~ fairly complex nature. A new member would have little to contribute until he had attended a few meetings and "got the feel" of the group. He would have to know the personalities he was dealing with, and how issues aire considered. He must know what sort of arguments are effective, and what are not. He must learn a great deal about the politics of creating academic policy. He must know what he is talking about, and be accepted as a valuable part of the group. All these things are impossible under the "significant breakthrough" Mr. Young wants us to believe HE made. (It is clear that even the pathetic gestures that have been made a r e only a result of fires lit by CUS: not any sparks that originated in his office). So here is where we stand. If the AMS council can: a) figure out from a rough agenda what will be dis-b) find a student with intimate knowledge of a complex academic issue who is willing to research and compose a brief, c) present a brief that relates directly to what ends up being discussed, d) sense from their offices (cloisters?) the mood of the Senate, e) be able to present a convincing case before a roomful of articulate and knowledgeable s tr an g ers; THEN we have representation. If not we have been bought off. Another little item; Briefs must be on matters "relating directly to the student body." And who decides what matters so relate? Why, the Senate, of course. Ho Hum. D.

The AMS obviously has no knowledge of the issue. Perhaps through this column the students, at least, will "Thank God there are no free schools for printing . . . for learning has brought disobedience and heresy into the world, and printing has divulged them ... God keep us from both." These words were spoken by the Governor of Virginia only three hundred years ago. More than two thousand years ago Plato wrote, "Education makes good men." Thus, the history of education is rather mottled, and can lend support to any side of any educational issue. Even so, both sides of the current student power debates use the lessons of history to support their arguments. It is not difficult to discover the origins and development of the university, and I shall roughly outline it here. The value of history, however, should be very much in question, considering the most reoent, and therefore most pertinent developments in the university. (I make this strong qualification as a result of involvement in a recent discussion where, after comparing the medieval guilds of master and apprentice scholars with similar guilds of shoemakers, carpenters, etc., Dean Rothney was asked if he seriously thought it was merely a historical accident that the university exists today, when the other guilds have died. "I don't know, maybe" answered The Dean of Arts Ph.D. (Hist.). Such ill-considered and arbitrary historical analogies can do nothing but harm to dialogue related to the university today. Therefore the following brief history should be considered warily. Canadian higher education has been variously effected by English, Scottish, French German, and Arp.erican influences which have exerted their pressures at different periods of time and undetr different conditions. It is therefore of no value to attempt a definitive explanation of precisely why Lakehead University has certain characteristics. The current controversy, however, con- by don colborne cems the structure of power and authority within the institution, and for this reason extant descriptions are more important than lineolo- gy. Despite its Greek precursors, the university is, as Hastings Toshdall wrote, "a distinctly medieval institution." The Greeks and the Romans, strange as it may seem, had no universities in the sense in which the word has been used for the past seven or eight centuries. The Acadamy of Plato, and the schools of the Sophists in Greece were, by any modern interpretation, totally unorganized. Students attended, learned, and left without being exposed to an inch of red tape. Only in the middle ages did organization become a part of learning; and even then there were no Boards of Governors, no calendars, no AMS - except so fa!l" as the university itself was fundamentally a society of students. It should be added, of course, that there were also no libraries, laboratories, or government subsidies. One of the two most famous of -these earliest universities, Bologna in Italy, must be cited as the unconscious prototype of the student power movement. Here the students banded together to bargain collectively on rent with the townspeople, and on food prices with the tavern - keepers. They then turned on "their other enemies, the professors" and by the threat of fund boycott, effectively controlled how they taught. Over time, through the formation of guilds which became colleges, the teachers gained more power, standard academic degrees were granted, and officials were hired. Even so, t h e history of southern European Universities has been one of active student participation a n d freedom. For example t h e present University at Caracus, Venezuela, whose roots are Spanish; is literally ruled by the students as a revolutionary enclave from which they emerge at times to practice guerilla w a r f a r ~ against their government. The other most important early university, Paris, in contrast with Bologna, was a university of masters. By the early twelfth century it was a corporation, and inherited a hierarchial structure f r o m its cathedral school origins. Masters and students did however, have joint responsibilities regarding organization and discipline. Over the years the students lost most of these responsibilities. Oxford & Cambridge grew out of Paris, and Canadian higher education traces much of its history to those oldest of English universities. They adopted from Paris the subservient student idea and added to it the emphasis on the residential college which some Canadian Universities, but not Lakehead, still include. A new type of university appeatt"ed in Germany in the 17th century, stressing freedom of professors and students (lehrfreiheit and lernfreiheit). The professor was established as a great figure, and students shown high respect both within and without the institution. Our heritage from Germany, however, has not been respect for the undergraduate, but emphasis on science and research, and the elective system, which has "come more to serve the professors than the students for which it was first intended." The most recent, and probably most profound ~xternal influences on Canadian Universities have come from the United States. The totally utilitarian training of businessmen, and at Lakehead, even technicians; the responsibilities to the community at large; the active pursuit of government research grants; the production line organization; and large scale athletic programs; are distinctly American. All this may have seemed a bit tedious, but one point is now clear and very important to the "student power" movement; all the origins of the modem Canadian university, with the remote exception of Bologna and its lineage, have stressed an inferior role for the undergraduate. It is precisely this tradition which is being debated. Whether it is relevant today depends upon what the modern philosophy of university e d u c a t i on should be, and that is the topic of next week's column. • Page Simon says .... ~ AfiwolJ(~: ~r . •·tINY'S SEEKING ICBM_CONTRACT ' Ottawa, Ont. - Diplomatic circles are agog over a Lakehead burger baron 1s plan to end the Cold War overnight.

Waterloo students protest WATERLOO (CUP) - A group of 26 University of Waterloo students Wednesday protested job recruiting by companies who are selling war materials to the U.S. for possible use in Viet Nam. Students from the newlyformed Students for Democratic University (SDU) and some professors started their protest by marching from the arts theatre to the arts library. The companies were scheduled to hold job interviews for co - operative program students on the library's sixth floor. Under Waterloo's coop program students, mainly in the scienoes and engineering, study one term and work the next in a studyrelated industry. At first the protestors were to hold a sit-in on the sixth floor, but campus police locked access doors and allowed only staff, administration officials a n d students with appointments to enter. So the protestors marched around the door, quietly carrying their placards. As people entered, the students handed out leaflets describing their reasons for the protest and citing facts to prove their beliefs. The protests were centered on Dow Chemical Com- Lakehead Unitarian Congregation pany and its production of napalm as well as several other companies which interview students for jobs during their work terms. As the protest started around 8:30 a.m. groups of co-op students gathered and started heckling. The protestors ignored the taunts and continued handing out their leaflets and displaying their signs. Some snowballs were tossed at the protestors but this soon ceased. Instead the co-ops concentrated on an anti-protest. Large blackboard size posters appeared supporting the right of any company to come out to the campus to interview students. Other co-op signs said, "We like Dow" a n d "Don't let a minority misrepresent our views." Leaflets passed out by the At the Lakehead its ....

Accepted After many years of frustration and two years of negotiation, Lakehead University has been sanctioned as the first Canadian University accepted as a member of the National Association of Colleges and Universities. Because of its geographical isolation, Lakehead University has had difficulty in obtaining acceptance into organized intercollegiate leagues in Canada. On March 28, 1966, Bill Shannon approached the Ontario Intercollegiate Athletic Association asking for acceptance into that association. On January 4i 1967, M. T. (Maurice) Regimbal, President of the Ontario nten:ollegiate Athletic Association, announced that Lakehead University had been officially accepted as a member and would be allowed to compete for Ontario Intercollegiate Athletic Association championships in all sports except those referred to as team sports. Sports such as hockey, basketball, volleyball etc. Since receiving recognition, Lakehead University has been fortunate enough to win the Ontario Intercollegiate Athletic Association Squash Raquets Championship, Ski Championship, Golf Championship·, and Singles Table Tennis Championship, and were able to have representatives skiing in the Canadian Intercollegiate Ski Championships in Banff in March of 196J. On August 4, 1967, Winnipeg, Manitoba, was the scene of a meeting which was to have International Athletic repercussions. This meeting was attended by Bill Shannon, and George Birger of Lakehead University, with Mr. A. 0. Duer, Executive Secretary of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics. The context of this meeting may be summed up in quoting from .a letter addressed to W. J. Shannon, Athletic Co-ordinator at Lakehead University, from Mr. A. 0. Duer which reads, "The upcoming issue of ~e National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics news will carry the announcement, of which we are proud, that Lakehead- University is the first Canadian Institute to be accepted into membership of N.A.I.A." Mr. Duer went on to say that "As of March 18, 1968, Lakehead University would be eligible to compete for National U.S. Championships in Ba~ball, Ba~ketball, eross ~untry, Gymnastics, Soccer, Swimmmg, Tenms, Track and Field, Wrestling, Football, Golf, Bowling, and Hockey. Mr. George Birger, Athletic Director and Basketball Coach at Lakehead University, in summing up the ramifications of our official sanction by the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics stated simply, "Lakehead University has always had to sit on the side lines and watch other teams that they defeated compete for National Cham[>ionships, _those days are gone. 1:-a,kehead University has some fine, and m some cases, very g1fted athletes on campus and there is no reason for them not to receive the recognition they deserve." "The fact that Lakehead University is a member of both the Ontario Intercollegiate Athletic Association and the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics provides our athletes the opportunity to compete for national championships in both Canada and the United States.

Lakehead Nor'Westers Go International Lakehead University has scored another "first" in the sports world. The young university is the first Canadian University to "go International" with the announcement November 23 that they have been accepted as a member of the United States National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics. The NAIA is an association of small and mediumsized United States Colleges and universities including such names as Florida A and M, Boston State University and, closer to home, the University of Minnesota in Duluth. Lakehead University will thus be able to compete for national United States championships in baseball, basketball, cross country, gymnastics, soccer, swimming, tennis, track and field, wrestling, football, bowling and hockey. The University will still maintain its Canadian affiliation with the Ontario Intercollegiate Athletic Association, taking on what amounts to dual citizenship. It wfill be the only college or university in Canada or the United States which may win championships in both countries. In the past two years the University has won the Ontario Intercollegiate squash raquets, ski, golf and table tennis championships competing against other universities in Ontario. Last year their basketball team won the Lakehead title and the hockey team won its conference title in the first year of competition against teams from the United States. To become eligible to compete in National Championships, Lakehead University will first have to be accepted into leagues or conferences in Minnesota, Wisconsin or Michigan. They must win their league, then play off against winners of other leagues in the same state, thus representing that state or district at the National playofffs. The Nor'westers are already members off one American-based conference, the International Collegiate Hockey Association. Last year they competed against teams f T om Wisconsin State University, St. Cloud .State College, Bermidji State College and Lake Superior State College of Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan, winning 10 games against two losses to capture the conference title. The pull from the United States was a natural attraction according to athletic coordinator Bill Shannon, the man behind the move. "Our geographical location really gave us no ..other choice," he pointed oul Al- though we are a member of the OIAA we cannot compete in most team sports because of the travelling costs involved in any league which might be arranged." ATHLETIC SCHOLARSHIP QUESTION The move is expected to bring comment from other universities over the controversial question of grant.s-inaid for worthy athletes. A well-recognized point in the United States, such athletic scholarship assistance is still frowned upon in Canadian athletic competition. Lakehead University will be able to offer grants-in-aid in the future if it so desires. No set policy has been -established in tilis regard but the University's new Athletic Director G e o r g e Birger, formerly from the United States, has set views on the subject. "There is no reason why we should allow our fine young athletes to be pirated away because of our outdated concepts on athletics," he explainid. "A young athlete who maintains a high academic standing should be rewarded on a controlled basis for his abilities and for the honor and publicity he brings to the university and the city. Young Don Domansky and Arjan Gelling are fine examples of how athletes can bring l'.I"eat honor to our area. We can't, of course, expect to keep people of this calibre here at the present time but we should be trying to keep these boys in Canada. Once they have gone across the border to study, many do not return. It is part of the brain drain." Hockey coach H en r y Akerval, the captain of Canada's 1964 Olympic hockey team. pointed out that hundreds of young hockey players from Canada go south every year on athletic scholarships. "None of the top United Stat-es Colleges could maintain their calibre without our Canadian hockey talent," he claims. "But a Canadian boy shouldn't have to leave his country! If he wants to go - that's fine. But he should at least have the opportunity of one or two Canadian alternatives." With athletic grants-in-aid or without, Lakehead Universty faces the future of stiff international competition with an optimistc attitude. George Birger summed up the feeling of the athletic department when he said: ''The main point is that our top athletes will now receive the recognition they deserve. And the door is wide open for Lakehead University to build up an international reputation, particularly in sports such as hockey and basketball." RUMANIAN NATIONALS DECEMBER 13 LAKEHEAD UNIVERSITY, PORT ARTHUR, ONT Nov 30, 1967 8 PAGES AMS Council passes budget A total of 32 budgets were presented to the AMS Council for ratification Saturday, November 25. Of this number, 29 were passed with few enquiries pertaining to details not shown on the actual budget. The other tm-ee were passed on condition that these clubs be recognized by Council. The three clubs in question are the Lakehead University German Society, the Art Club, and the Sociology-Anthropology Club. The constitution of the latter has been tabled by Council. This year's total expected revenue is approximately $49,775. The total expenditure budgeted for is $55,343. The deficit is $5,568. The reason there is a deficit budget, explained Treasurer Don Lees, is because the clubs and organizations who get a part of the AMS budget very seldom spend all of it. Clubs are expected to carry through with their programs as laid out. The following is a list of some of the budgets passed with the amount they were subsidized to last year.

"We used a different system this· year. The financial committee went over all the budgets before they came to Councl for ratification. Instead of taking 12 hours as it did last year, Council has spent three on it so far, and I think that another one will do the job." Students voice lack of confidence .... t:lltAD f ~~ Mike Barkwell Barkwell elected V.P. Mike Barkwell, sec on d year Economics student, is the new AMS Vice President. Mr. Barkwell was elected by Council at its regular meeting Tuesday, November 21, in accordance with the AMS constitution. He succeeds Bill Weiler in that position, Mr. Weiler taking over as President following the resignation of Peter Young. A native of Southern Ontario, Mr. Barkwell has i,.ttended Lakehead for two years, and plans to return next year. S t u d e n ts' constitutional right of petition for a meeting of the AMS Council was exercised for the first time in the history of Lakehead University, Wednesday, November 22. Some 32 students signed a petition circulated the Frida,y previous calling for this special meeting. For Lakehead, it has been a year of agitation, dissatisfaction, and resignation. This meeting brought to light the latest grievances. The Council, with its newest President Bill Weiler, faced approximately 200 students to hear prepared resolutions, all reflecting a 1ack of faith in the Council and the executive. The resolutions w e r e available only to the councillors and to the members of the committee presenting them. The lack of faith refiected in the resolutions was a result of claimed infringements on student rights, constitutional ambiguities, financial mismangement, the handling of Council resignations, the parking issue, the committee system used by the Council, and various other dissatisfactions with student government. On Mr. Weller's request, Bert Baumann, Chief Justice,· agreed to chair the meeting, It became apparent, however, that even the constitution drafted by Mr. Baumann was "under fire", and that the chair was therefore not impartial. Further more, no student could be impartial, being an AMS member. Mr. Larry Anderson of t h e Psychology Department was asked to take the chair, and agreed to take over for the rest of the meeting. The Council President set a time limit on the meeting, pointing out that he had to catch a plane for Toronto later in the afternoon, and that many councillors had ,, two o'clock classes. UNITED FRONT Council appeared to take a solidified stand in defense of its policies, and in the acceptance of some of the arguments and crticisms of the committee of students. The general body in attendance appeared to be swayed according to the eloquence of each speaker involved. PREPARE BRIEF Mr. Weiler agreed to prepare a brief in reply to the criticism and remedies .proposed by those initiating the meeting. This brief apparently will be given to the whole student body. A straw vote was called, the results indicating that the original resolutions should also be made to the whole student body. But in the words of Karl Goodwin, Associate Justice, "As the battle raged, most students either played cards, drank coffee and laughed, or didn't give a damn as long as they knew· they could get their parchment." �Page 2 November 30,· ·1967 THE ARGUS Winter Carnival Committee Club Notes Psychology Club It appears the Psychology Club has again succeeded in filling its repertoire with interesting and informative details. The meetng of Nov. 23 focused on one- type of brainwashing used by Communists on certain prisoners of war. The technique, as presented through a tape recording plus a commentary delivered by Mr. K. A. Allan, involved a gradual re-education of the soldiers, but with no physical punishment. The men were submitted to a moral degradation achieved through t h e censoring of their mail which allowed only "bad news" through. They were taught to mistrust their companions by an "informer" system. The end result of this drill was that they would endure up to six hours a day of C om m u n i st propaganda starting at 7:00 in the morning! The programme also called for a 40 minute film on Schizophrenia but, because of the responsive discussion about the tape, there was not time. The film may be shown at the Dec. 7th meeting plus anything else that is scheduled. Don't miss it. The Winter Carnival Committe had its first meeting last Thursday. Winter Carnival Chairman is ·J ohn Lee, Arts III. Other Executive positions still have to be filled, so come out and be active in the biggest social event of the year. Major committees have been selected but more bodies and new ideas are desperately wanted. Meetings Circle K Don't wait until the Holiday Season is upon you, ..

I-- the men's club Circle K is a service organization for college men operating on the campus, and is similar to Kiwanis and other service clubs. Its objects are to emphasize the advantages of the American and Canadian way of ·life; to provide an opportunity for leadership training in service; to serve on the campus and in the community; and to promote good fellowship and high scholarship. It is a leadership and character - building group which gives primacy to the human and spiritual rather than to the material values of life. To co-operate in maintaining that sound public opinion and high idealism which makes possible the increase of righteousness, j u s t i c e, patriotism and good will is only one of the group's ideals. A Circle K club is sponsored in co-operation with College or University officials by a local Kiwanis club which is composed of leading business and professional men of the community. Kiwanis does not sponsor these clubs in order to build future Kiwanians. This activity is part of the Kiwanis programme of service to youth and community.

The Canadian manufacturer of polystyrene is Dow Chemical Co. of Canada, a subsidiary of the parent Dow in the U.S. Campuses across Canada have risen up in protest in some cases violent protest against Dow recruiters interviewing on Campus. The Canadian protests began on Nov. 8 when a small group handed out literature at the door of the placement centre at the University of Waterloo. A week later UBC students followed suit, but this time they blocked the doorway. At Windsor last week, campus Chaplain Bill Christensen led a similar group in protest, but there was no violence.

The Student Council at the University of Victoria shared these sentiments when they went on the record opposing the use of napalm. Dow recruiters were expected a week after council took this action. USE OF NAPALM IMMORAL Why all these protests? Demonstrators see · it as a moral issue. Harold Kasinsky, a University of California biochemist, who has made a study of napalm, reports: "A napalm B fire reaches a temperature of almost 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit in a few seconds. The polystyrene component of napalm B acts like a glue at high temperatures, holding the fire to a particular surface. "The new napalm B is so sticky and burns so intensely that it cannot be removed from human skin without causing whole chunks of flesh to come off." Protestors say such a weapon is immoral - much more immoral than Atomic bombs. The U.S. Dow company makes napalm bombs for use in Vietnam. The protestors claim this is contributing to an immoral act. Part of Dow's supply of pdl.ystyrene, the active ingredient of napalm, is made in Canada. Therefore Canada is implicated in this immorality. But Dow points out its napalm production accounts for less than one per cent of its business. Opponents then say it would be a negligible loss to discontinue napalm production. Pro-Dow forces on campus offer two arguments: the first ski$ any moral issue and claims Dow Canada personnel work on a vast number of projects, so workers, those recruited annually fr om campuses, are not directly m.volved in producing napalm. The second argument says. it is the right of students to apply for a job of their choice, and the majority should not deny them this right.

IE A BLOOD DONOR On student power By Day Laban In centuries past, philosophers used to write treatises entitled "On the Nature of Things", "On Metaphysics", "On the Principles of Morals.'' The implication was that these essays were one man's opinion, an exercise in thought, rather than a dogmatic: stating of facts. I would ask that this be judged in the same fashion: the statement of a personal opinion, and an enquiry as to to where we are going . . . It is probably correct to assume that the word "student ·power" is an adaptation of the phrase "black power", so often used in reference to the racial turbulences in the United States. It denotes a minority group's realization of its own strength, and of its intent to impose its will upon others. It is a flexing of the muscles, a testing of the sinews, the first stirring of a young giant's might. But it is more than that; there is a connotation of animosity, an almost revolutionary approach, an "out with the old, in with the new" feeling that may well do more to destroy than to improve the structure of our universities. The sharing of knowledge, a University's reason for existence, has become secondary to a political manipulation, whereby the University is broken up into three warring factions; Students, Faculty and Administration. Those who stir up the controversy would have one believe that there is no common ground on which these factions can meet to discuss their differences, that this is a "cold war" between three different ideologies. It is rather like an argument about religion between three die-hard members of different denominations: interesting to listen to, but hardly likely to come to a satisfactory conclusion. I am quite aware that this three-way battle is taking place on campuses all over Canada and the United States, that it is not peculiar to Lakehead University. And possibly .this is the most worrying aspect of the situation: just because others start a certain trend, is it necessary that we too jump on the band-wagon? Any band-wagon? Even one, that, when the sound of its rumbling passage dies down, will leave behind the shattered remains of what so many people spent so many years to build? The "divide and conquer" tactics employed by those who would sow dissent have been used many, many times before, and rarely have they led to lasting improvement. He who sows dissent shall reap chaos. Students have always been the most important single factor in the structure of a University, for a very simple reason; no students, no University. But, per se, the student body is in constant flux: only a very few remain on campus longer than three years, and during those years their main preoccupation is with their studies rather than with the manner in which the institution of learning, to whose tutelage they have entrusted themselves for a few brief years, is being run. At least that is how it used to be, in the days when administrators had time to do what they are paid to do, i.e. administrate, rather than weather- ing the onslaught of sit-ins, stand-ins and lie-ins, and slinking down the hall-ways wearing dark glasses on the day the studentnewspaper comes out. Student government itself is in constant flux. Witness the events at L.U. in recent weeks. Is this not an indication that before one can rule the world one must be able to rule oneself? In any form of government, the greatest essential is unity, the striving toward a common goal. And if the students among themselves fail to realize what this common goal is, if they relentlessly criticize their elected officals, if they protest without purpose, if they fail to impose discipline upon themselves, how then would they rule the University? Every organization needs a "constant" to function efficiently. Because of its everchanging nature, the student-body cannot provide this constant. A long-range view of the aims and functions of the University can be taken only by those who will be called upon to carry out these plans and bring them to fruition. Such a constant is the Senate. Not the student-body, not the often-nomadic Faculty nor even the Administration, but the Senate. Student representation on the Senate is indeed a great step forward. But in order to represent the student-body as a whole, these student-representatives must know what its aims are. As things are, I wish them the wisdom of Solomon and the patience of Job: they'll need it. �Novi:neber 30, 1967 THE ·ARGUS .-.istorical discovery Page 5 Situation difficult in years of yore What is a University?

This is Dave's second year on the team after a very successful rookie season. Dave was an assistant captain of the I. c. H. A. champions, all-61:ar centr~, scoring leader with 15 goals and 22 assists in 12 games and the most valuable player. Dave also lettered in hockey and was the overall top scorer at L U. with 19 goals and 37 assists in 19 games. - Once again this year, h~ will play on the All Conference line of Smith, Siciliano and Stin:ett. Fans at the Friday night basketball game were the lucky observers at our cheerleaders' first start. photo - gauley Long trip tires team The Nor'Westers hockey team lost their third straight game Friday night as they were defeated 6 - I by the Junior Varsity team in Houghton. The game was played as an exhibition game. The lone goal for the Lakehead squad was scored by Dave Siciliano at the 2 7 second mark of the first period. But the battle was all up hill from that point on. C.oach Henry Akervall attributed the loss to the long and tiring bus trip from the Lakehead to Houghton. The team left the Lakehead early Friday morning, and played that night. The team js expected to be in better shape for the doubleheader against Bemidji State this weekend.

One occurred in a bridge game involving John Stefiszyn and Dave Nuttal on the one hand, and Boyd Hussey and Coach Henry Akervall on the other.- John, in a subtle attempt to indicate what he wanted Dave to lead, came up with one of the best pieces of table talk heard in a long while. John leaned forward, belched, and said he had heartburn. No one realized the significance until Dave led a heart and they took the trick. Another occurred when the bus driver was asked to stop along the highway for a much-needed "pit stop." As the line formed along the side of the bus-some two deep-a few cars passed by. The expression on the drivers' faces was priceless. The last was appreciated only by a few. You can ask Al Johnson of the hockey team about former Leaf goalie Harry Yum Yum. • • • Murray Smith was the top performer for the Nor'Wesfers hockey team, scoring six of the ten goals in the first two league games. Don Holmstrom also performed well, scoring 46 points on the weekend. Don captured CKPR's Sportsman-of-the-Week Award. • One of the reasons for the hockey team's losses stems from their lack of practice time. They better start getting in shape soon if they expect to compete with the Rumanian National Team on December 13. ,,. ,,. ,,. One thing about these intercollegiate trips-the students are expected to come to school for all their classes even after returning home at 3 a.m. It was noted, however, that the Monday after the last trip, the two intercollegiate coaches did not show up until after twelve noon. • • • • This week the SAS is planning on holding its first Homecoming Weekend, with a dance Friday night and basketball and hockey doubleheaders Saturday and Sunday against Bemidji State. , Get out and support your teams. Don't forget to get seasons passes from the SAS, valued at $2.50 for each sport. •• Once again I attended a local wrestling card.

Nor 1Westers keep Wesmen on their toes. photo-gauley Nor'Westers split with Wesmen By Larry Hebert The Lakehead University Nor'Westers basketball team brought its intercollegiate record to 2-2 with a win Friday night and a loss Saturday aaginst the University of Winnipeg Wesmen. Friday night at Winston Churchµ!, before a packed house, Don Holmstrom led the hoopsters to a 48 - 39 win over the Wesmen. Holmstrom almost single-handedly took care of the L.U. scoring, picking up 22 points in the first half and 28 in the entire game. Another reason for Lakehead's win was their good defense and fast break. Coach Birger was very pleased with the big threeDon Holmstrom, Lou Pero, and Jim Johnston. They did an excellent job rebounding against a rnuch bigger team. Birger stated that L.U. beat Winnipeg with superior hustle. But he was still disappointed with his team's inability to put two good halves together. In almost every game this year, the Nor'Westers have faltered in the second half. Other top scorers for L.U. were Cameron with 6, and Holman with 5. For the Winnipeg University Wesmen, Irwin led the way with 14 while Macy had 7 and Crockett 5. Saturday afternoon a t Lakeview the Wesmen came back to win a thriller by a score of 57 - 51. Nor'Westers held a half-time lead, and although they played their best half of the season, it wasn't good enough as the Wesmen got hot in their shooting. Lakehead continued t o fast break Saturday, but it wasn't enough to overcome Winnipeg's precise shooting. Once again it was Holmstrom who led the way for .

The top players for Lakehead Saturday were Pero, who rebounded well, and Cameron, who played a good defensive game as well as leading the N or'Westers fast break.

We do. We also wonder at the logic behind this charge. Let us indulge in an exercise in nostalgia for a moment or three. Freshmen students will not be aware of this fact, (some seniors may not either) but last year there was no charge for course changes until about two or three weeks after the beginning of classes. Perhaps the exact number of weeks or days during which free changes were allowed is not exactly what is stated above. Nevertheless, the fact is that there was no charge for these second thoughts about certain subjects until a decent waiting period had passed. But this year? It is a fact that the ratio of out-of-town students to local students is significantly lower this year than in the past ~cademic year. The absence of a calendar may be charged for this. It is not the concern at the immediate time to sulk about the calendar. However, the ludicrous (and lucrative) decision to hit students for a second time when they have a change of heart, or perhaps even a realization meaningful to themselves as individuals insults us as individuals. And they actually charge this three dollars when they do not have a calendar to allow students to decide upon the best course to follow. What trauma students must go through when they approach that long grey desk to disclose the fact that they have made a mistake in the choosing of their courses. And then they have to cough up for a mistake that may or may not have been their fault in the first place. Sometimes we wonder. Science Congratulates Forestry(?) Don Colbome One of the curious idiosyncracies of Lakehead University is the type and quality of people here who fall before that great undergraduate freakout which might be called the student beaurocrat syndrome. Basically it is a manifestation of t!1e peculiarly high-school-like education offered here and it attacks a particular group of insecure power trippies who are so little aware of what a real university is that they actually believe the games they play are in some way meaningful. Symptoms of the onset of this affliction appear when a red-blooded Joe College begins, usually after about siX months here, to have bad dreams about graduating as just another sausage without an impressive history of "stuff" with • which to pad his resume. It doesn't take much to realize that L. U. is not doing much for him. These early symptoms include the affectation of suit (preferably cord), walk (busy-busy-busy), and card file of names (for dropping). He greets friend and foe with a smile which varies with social status of the smilee and if he is particularly clever he will force his name into public. The tactics of this game vary from graffitiing "I am a great lay'' on the ladies' room wall, to writing totally plagarized letters of comment and criticism to the school paper. Then comes that great democratic event when the most able and interested prevail upon themselves to guide the destiny of their institution - election time. Here the personality switch hits an acute stage as our schitzoid student goes hyper for a few days. He makes posters, speeches, friends, notes, pins, platforms, and platitudes. He talks hockey with the jocks, turns on with the heads, makes time with the chicks, nods at profs, and generally goes through the whole B.M.O.C. routine he has learned so well from old Hollywood horrors on the late show. He turns on the total feelie - wheelie bag. Then he gets elected . . . by a minority of a mass who don't know him, couldn't care less about the illustrious position he has so rapidly aspired to, and are unaware of the intense ego fabrication through which he has forced himself. Now the real power-trip begins. He starts mouthing bigger than life stuff like "Let's go to my office and call Toronto about it" or "No time for coffee ... I'm waiting for a call from the President." He becomes the very worst variety of beaurocrat - the student mechanic. Through a classical situationiste role identification he becomes an administrative automaton, talking in abstract about budgets and briefs, purchase orders and parking slips, office space and off-campus housing. He stops thinking about himself and what he should do. He loses touch. That's the diagnosis. It is also much of the reason why the student government at this university is so frightfully inept. However it is a problem peculiar to young universities, and we should be passing from that stage during the course of this year. Where all this leads, of course, is to tomorrow's election. Choose aware, sincere, dedicated candidates (there may be some) not any horn-rimmed glasses type with a big mouth and an insecure ego. by Don Bergman, Science President The "fungae finders" came through again. In this year'sfroshweek's activities, the ever-lively Foresters once again proved beyond doubt that they are the group to watch when it comes to participation in planned act iv it i e s. The woodsmen won the Volkswagen push to the Fort William Gardens from the University, Thursday night, in fine style. Time and again it seems that the smallest faculty proves that it has the most enthusiasm and spirit as they push ever onward for more. Lakehead firsts. Said Arts President Pentti Paularinne, "The race l~ft too early' but we still caught up". What he forgot to add was the fact that Arts drove down Memorial Avenue, instead of pushing their vehicle all the way to the Gardens. From the largest faculty the turn - out was almost neg 1i g i b 1e, although two Artsmen were seen during the race taking photographs. Science has expressed thanks to the Foresters for the rivalry they provided in the race. However future events will find more Science men chailenging the Foresters. Congratul~tions are in order to the "fungae finders" from Science. Maybe the red and white might find time to participate at some future date. ·letters to the editor Mao who has controlled and SUN NOT SET Dear Sir: I disagree with Mr. Szechung's opinion that Mao Tze Tung was "incapable of running such a big country as China''. ("The Sun is Set", Sept. 18/67, Vol. II, No. 1), Firstly, Mao, contrary to Mr. Sze-chung's subtle sugg e st ion s , was a great scholar. He was enrolled at Changsha Junior College (1911 ), completed six years of teacher's training college (Changsha, 1913 to 1918)and a year as librarian and dropin student at Peking University. He would often spend ten hours at a time reading, and habitually received 100% in his essays. He developed into a better-than-average poet of the classical type, and wrote many books on philosophy and hist_ory. Secondly, he was a great leader, in war as well as in peace. His guerrilla tactics have inspired the peoples of Vietnam. Cuba, and Korea to victory and partial victory against greater forces than themselve·s. He hims e 1f gained and controlled mainland China. Since 1947, he has developed China from a starving, weakling, demoralized nation to a .w orld power. All this, Mr. Szechung would argue, is the work of not only Mao but of those around him (notably Lui-Hsiao Chih and Chou En-Lai) and I would not dispute his supposition. But in my eyes, this makes him an even greater leader. For all great men must, by necessity, lean upon the work of those around them; and it is co-ordinated the work of these great men. If Mao is presently slipping from power, as he undoubtedly is, then we must view this not as the end of a weakling leader but as the downfall of a great man over whose bones•lesser men are now fighting.

He told me that his old man had some beer left over from the night before, so all the neighbours were up in his apartment looking for a drink." Bert Baumann, AMS Chief Justice, Lakehead's only delegate to the CUS Seminar on "Social Barrier to Higher Education•', held at u. of T. August 1.8-19 this year, made this comment in speaking about his "in-thefield" experiences. The Seminar was conducted on a twopart basis: delegates travelled to parts of Toronto to the two extremes on the afflu·ence scale, then returned to the University to discuss their experiences and observations. The ultimate end in view was to make delegates aware of the barriers to education posed by differences in social environment. And, according to Mr. Baumann, the seminar was a great success. Sharp Contrasts The first area visited by Bert was the Trefann Court section of Toronto. Under the Toronto Urban Renewal Scheme, this slum section will be replaced by new highrise, high...;revenue apartments. Already there are new blocks looking down on the area. But it seems that the business men cannot wait to move into this potentially lucrative area, with as little initial cost as possible. As a result the residents there cannot get replacement value for their homes. They can't even buy lots. Public Housing offers them no solution since the rent for these homes is prohibitive for employed persons. And the last thing that they want is to be unemployed. The CYC has a headquarters in Trefann Court. They have succeeded in banding the neighbourhood together to fight city hall's efforts to buy them out. For the first time in the history of the area, they have opened a p1ayground on a previously rocky lot. Their prime concern being the children, weekly auctions of clothing have been initiated to support the children and to let them lead a young life more closely approximating that of their middle-class counterparts. Also a scheme is presetltly in operation whereby neighbours fix each other's homes in a cooperative effort. 0 J was able to walk with the families there, talking about their jobs, transportation recreation and future", Bert stated. "I w;nt into the •Bridle Path area right after. It made me feel guilty even to walk in" he said. "The contrast between the chiidren was immediately apparent in talking to this class of youngsters."

NOTICE Interest Becomes Action Students attending the seminar, and in particular those from Waterloo, decided to concentrate on setting up their own schools to help the children in their areas. The second main area of concentrated effort will be directed towards those students who plan to go into teaching. It was decided that the traditional OCE goal of teaching people to teach must be reformed. Instead of turning out robots to feed the system, a concerted effort must be made to provide a freer atmosphere in schools, eliminating the need to con, and in the end seeing happier and more complete graduates. Mr. Baumann is probing the possibilities of setting up this sort of an educational environment at the Lakehead. From necessity it would probably be held, at first, in the evenings, on weekends, and during the~ summer months. For the enlightenment of Lakehead University students, Bert plans to show several of the films which were shown at the seminar on campus during the coming year. "I know I can make a definite contribution to the student body on campus as a result of this seminar", Mr. Baumann stated.

What a pity it is tnat only one week in the whole school year i.s dedicated to the hazing of poor freshmen. On second thought, perhaps we're lucky that only one week in the whole school year is dedicated to the hazing of poor freshmen. How many times could your system take a Ski Club Social, or your pocketbook take a Chippewa Park Bash? Or just how many times do you think it would take before you tired of pushing stupid little Volkswagens half way to hell and back? (We know Arts didn't even make it the first time, but let's not take that into account right now.) Scavenger hunting is all right in its place, but when the second term rolls around many students will find themselves scavenging for the essentials of living (women, booze, food) and will cease to be amused by this pastime. Dances -- we care not to comment on this particular aspect of the past week. But Kangaroo Court? Although one of the chief prosecutors comes from New Zealand that is no reason to call this mockery of justice "Kangaroo Court". Since the Kiwi bird is said to be the only true native creature of New Zealand, and since the court was obviously "for the birds'', we feel that due consideration should be given to changing the name of this function. With the change in name, there should also come some reforms in procedure. We would like to point out to the tribunal that clothes, especially gowns, do not make the man. Instead they seem to ma~e the Foresters (at least the swacked ones) hostile. (Great show of couth on the part of those three goats with the ties). As one persecuted freshman put it, "Offenders called to the stand were not even told what heinous crime they had committed, so the punishment was in fact a gross miscarriage of justice.•• And as we seniors retort, "Yes, wasn't that beautifully planned?" But we wonder what was really beneath those bailiff's hoods.

Of course little Tommy Douglas had his warm summer with the old Left going left and right and the new left leaving. All that I have said so far is petty politics. It's on everyone's tongue, but is all this helping Canada in any way? If I was to ask one student to name six of the bills presently before the House of Commons, I doubt if he (or she) would be able to name even two of them. It is not easy to become adequately familiar or informed, but the very survival of free, orderly government depends on the intelligent interest that people show in the conduct of public affairs. After the traumatic experiences of last week, the political forum will provide an interesting and enlightening change. Here you will have the opportunity to prove your loyalty and interest in Canada on Tuesday, October 3rd, by attending the Political Forum with candidates for the Port Arthur-Fort William election. They will be questioned by the editors of the ARGUS, the News Chronicle, and the FortWilliam Times Journal; but questions from the audience will be received for every question asked by the press.

Thus the University spends up to $30,000 a year - five full time employees plus equipment and supplies in ensuring that the grass and trees and flowers are in tfp.;.top shape so that they can provide "the necessary adjuncts to the bare essentials". If student comfort is such a concern of the administration, why don't they pave the student parking lots, literally savin our soles. Perhaps they could rechannel their re ources from filling courtyards with paving stones (courtyards that one can get into but not out of) and building neat little horseshoe shaped driveways (in a lawn that took thousands of dollars to cultivate) to project that are indeed, "necessary adjuncts to the bare essentials". While the administration is in the process of shoulaering their responsibility, perhaps they could find out why room 1041 has an atmosphere more conducive to physical growth of potted tropical plants, than mental growth of eager students. Perhaps as well, they could be induced to do research on just how necessary 16th Century lab stools are to the comfortable continuance of our education.

G. Tuck Prostitution at L.U. Damnit, maybe we should take down our Lakehead University banner. Let'sputone up that says "Whore house". We're prostitutingourselves and the bureaucracy is the pimp. Students in this "university", if you prefer, are shopping in the academic flee market for satisfaction, for c o u r s e s biologically described as "bird", and "mickey mouse". Is this a hard course? What's snake anatomy 2b6 like? What did you get in it last year? Does he mark hard? These intellectually stimulating questions generally are answered (?) with some numerical abstraction such as "Well, (pause) I got 72, 67, 4. . . . " But can bureaucracy evaluate performance on a mark-type basis derived from pressure circumstances? How can bure- aucracy place a number on personal relevance? The system runs on gears and numbers and we, the students, prostitute ourselves to the system for X dollars of tuition, living expenses, anonymity and u 1t i m ate alienation. In turn the system cons us i n to perpetuating it through economic manipulation. It sells us its labelled buttons, jackets, and match book covers. In reality we are identifying with it, supporting it and perpetuating it. The wheel turns and we ask ourselves if we are getting our money's worth, if our fees are being properly administered and if our dances are showing a profit. Man, are we hooked! Or are we? Karl A. J.

U, Athletic Department is a little steamed up over my comment in the last ARGUS regarding their posting of the hockey schedule in local papers in August. They claim they put it in the paper the day after the Grade 13 exam results came out in order to attract hockey players to the University. That's a good idea but why wouldn't an article, telling of the places that the team would travel to suffice in attracting aspiring hockey players? The Weekend Magazine (Star) also ran a hockey story (September 2). They showed pictures of last year's all-star team and pictures of the individual trophy winners. I think they were also a li,ttle hasty in putting out a hockey story, especially last year s pictures (unless Chicago needed some morale boosting, since it was mostly pictures of their players). I don't recall their doing too many CFL stories and they are playing now while on September 2 no National Hockey League team had yet begun practising. Bill Shannon, coach. (l. lo r.)

OTTAWA (CUP) -- Patrick Watson last week (Sept. 15) urged Carleton U. freshmen to revolt against the administration and faculty. Watson, who co-hosted the controversial "Seven Days" TV show with Laurier Lapierre, told 500first-year students to work through their students association to gain a bigger say in the administration of their university. "You can convert the next four years of drudgery into a social and intellectual adventure if you act now", he said. He said the university is a learning situation and not a training school. He attacked professors who lazily believe that to impart knowledge all they need to do is stand up in front of a class full of students and give the same lecture they gave last year. The time is gone when student government's major role was organizing dances and football games. "Now they are working for political reform within the university", he said. Cuties Caper Chinese Assoc.

D. S. leaders at Lakehead by Owen Marks Slogans painted Revolutionary slogans no longer decorate the university's tunnel walls. Ken Campbell, who describes himself as a "resident artist", is painting new designs on the tunnel walls in the evenings. They are to be "a background for the student as he passes through the hall." The new look, comprised of flowers and snowflakes and Indian pictographs, replaces the former controversial slogans which highlighted the Q;;;;·.. drab passage. Campbell said the paint might discourage more "informal" decorations. Campbell is most interested in organizing and inst~cting an art programme this fall because "the university campus is a prime forum for non -traditional forms of expression." But at present he is painting the hallway and summed it up by saying, "We don't regard this as any more than colouring the walls. Very little of it is art at all." .I - v·18t Nam w a r Ant·t,· on o n cam pu S__"___ Pet' Lakehead students now have an opportunity to voice their dissention over American involvement in Viet Nam and Canada's silent condonement of American foreign policy. Stuart Hutchison, a Lakehead student from New York, is responsible for this opportunity. The protest will take the form of a declaration to be signed by supporting students. The declaration will then be filed with the United Nations. Hutchison is a member of the Individuals Against the Crime of Silence, an organization officially registered with the U.N. SecretaryGeneral. The organization was founded in California in 1967 and has registered over 100,000 signatures with the U.N. already. Hutchison said, "The purpose of the Declaration is that it serves as a vehicle to inform people of the world today and is a permanent record for future generations that there are people concerned and angered by the imperialistic atrocities of the United States government on the people of Viet Nam." He also stressed "Canadians should have an opportunity as a concerned people to express their dissatisfaction with U.S. policies. It also gives them a chance to speak collectively over the voice of a Canadian government which is reluctant to condemn the U.S." When asked about his position with the draft, Hutchison said he had been reclassified as 1-A the day before he came to the Lakehead, but that he was not running from the draft and would be willing to serve a prison sentence if convicted of evasion. He worked with the Resistance in Connecticut and New York. The Resistance supports draft evasion and is the same organization to which Dr. Spock belongs. Two of the top guns of the American student radical movement came to Lakehead University recently in· order to inspire the formation of some sort of activist student group on campus. When they left, the only ~ing of which they were certam was that Lakehead University radicals are in s?me ways quite unique. Mike Klonsky, who is leader of the activis,t, Chicagobased Students for a Democ~atic Society (SDS), and his wife, Sue, who is on the organization's secretariat, came to Lakehead at the invitation of the student government for the evening of Wednesday, September 18. The Klonskys previously having been informed that they could either agitate or educate, had their first chance at the former when they stepped off the North Central Airlines DC3 at Lakehead Ai~..,..~ Klonakj ...-c e.dlaps becau-se oes no t usually find it necessary to wear a suit and tie in his line of work, customs officials held the two of them up for fifteen minutes after they had cleared the remainder of the flight's occupants. During this time luggage was meticulously searched and certain portions of SDS literature were liberated for future customs consumption. Once the officials were convinced that neither of the Klonskys were draft resistors, however, the two were cleared. . As ~~s was Mike Klonsky' s first vistt to Canada, his subsequent comments betrayed the same feelings a person must have when . he is frisked or arrested on the streets of Chicago while knowing he is innocent of the charge. However, once they were out of the air terminal things started to look a little better. Sue Klonsky happily noted the absence of police, an absence, she noted, which is not apparent in Chicago. Mike Klonsky was pleased that the Lakehead is quite unlike the Chicago ghetto in that it is surrounded by forests. But once Lakehead University greeted them, reality returned, and Sue Klonsky felt it appropriate to remark upon the architecture which, COME TO THE SDS MEETING! The same faint smile appeared on Klonsky's face which was in evidence when he was held by Canadian customs. However, the signs achieved a desirable end when approximately 125 of the· curious showed up in Room 1029 which suitably reminds one of a Greek theatre. . The _meeting started quietly with _Mike Klonsky giving his openmg comments, but it ended noisily, an unfortunate example of participatory dem• ocracy, with everyone in the room attacking each other. Everyone enjoyed it, however, and most noted it was one of the best meetings • they had attended in a long time.

The tent city, operating on university property opposite Hart House, is to establish a forum for discussion of housing in particular and student problems in general. Tent-in spokesman Andy Wernick, a council member, says the demonstration dramatizes the housing crisis "as it affects the student and the community." He says the university has too little residence space -operates them "like barracks" in any case -- and charges too much for student accommodation it owns on and 0££ campus. Only wealthy students can afford to live on or near the university, he says, and although" the real problem is the market system of land," the university could still build more residences, reduce residence fees ranging from $750 to $1,000 a year, and "abandon al together the in loco parentis idea." U of T president Claude Bissell, on hand Monday to inspect the tent city site, said the students were right, but added student accommodation was al ways short because university resources were concentrated on academic buildings. MEXICO CITY(CUPI) -· The Mexican army invaded the University of Mexico campus Wednesday (Sept. 18) in response to a student threat to disrupt the Olympic Games next month. Several thousand troops in full battle array swept the strike-bound campus with assault cars and apparently plan a prolonged stay. Soup kitchens rolled in after the military. The campus was fortunately fairly free of students because classes have not been held there over two months. 88,000 Mexican students have been on strike for two months protesting government repression of protests in July. Olympic Village, where all the athletes will live during the games, is just two miles from the campus. An undetermined number of students and professors were arrested after army troops moved in late Wednesday night. It was the first time in 40 years that armed troops had entered the campus which, like other South American schools, is "autonomous," or free of intervention. Javiet Barros Sierre, the university rector, called the occupation an "excessive act of force which our house of study does not deserve." He, however, has also con· demned the students for not returning to classes. The occupation followed a meeting between student leaders and Interior Minister Luis Echevaria, who tried to get the protestors back to school and desist from Olympic disruption. They refused and the meeting broke up. The interior minister later said the government had waited two months for a return to normality on the campus and troops were sent in because university authorities had no means to re-establish order. At a mass demonstration in the Mexican capitol August 27, about 200,000 people called for the resignation of President Diaz Ordaz and shouted their opposition to the Olympic games. Banners borne by marchers called Ordaz a murderer and a dictator because he had ordered police to use violence to break up student protests. Student leaders claim about 20 students were killed during police action in July. �sgus, september 26, 1968, page 2 from page one This week. • • THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 26 Academic Computer Services Committee - Board Rm. 10:00 a.m. Cambrian Players rehearsal - Auditorium - 7:00 p.m. Alumni Association Meeting - Board Rm. • 7:30 p.m. Mathematics Student - Faculty Reception • Faculty Lounge • 8:00 p.m. - FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 27 AMS Elections Cambrian Players Rehearsal • Auditorium • 7:00 p.m. Arts Society Dance - Great Hall • 9:00 p.m. MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 30 Cambrian Players - Auditorium - 7:00 p.m. WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 2 Cambrian Players • Auditorium - 7:00 p.m. All events subject to last minute change---for further information phone the Department of Information Services, Ext. 300.

The Paris student revolt and the occupation of Columbia University in New York set everyone to thoughts of revolution •· could it happen in Canada? University of Toronto president Claude Bissell, back from a year's sabbatical at Harvard, led public discussion on how to handle Canadian student activists. He said Canadian students would not revolt in the same ways as Paris and Columbia, but would tum their attention to sit-ms and marches. The universities, Bissell said, had about two years to get the jump on student power and outlined plans for increased student involvement in university government as a method of avoiding confrontation. He then proceeded to offer U of T students seats on the president's council and establish a committee to study structures and purposes of the university. On May 26, the council of the Canadian Association of University Teachers unanimously censured Simon Fraser University for "continual contravention of accepted principles of university goverance,. -- and administrators sat down to watch a Canadian university in revolution. The board of governors at SFU reacted quickly to the censure and by the end of May president Patrick McTaggartCowan was put on extended leave of absence. All sectors of the university had demanded his resignation. Then the SFU student society got into the act. In a referendum June 3, students voted 1361-289 to demand the resignation of the board of governors. A proposal for a week's moratorium on classes at SFU failed when it fell eight per cent short of the required two-thirds majority. Students agitated for more power in the selection of SFU' s next president. They asked for, and received, veto power over the choice. Since May, SFU has had three temporary presidents and the board is now defining procedures for selection of a new one. Action continues on other fronts with committees established in numerous depart. men ts to study methods of democratizing all aspects of the university. Reactions Reaction to the student revolt took many forms. In July, Canada's university presidents held a secret meeting in Ottawa where they said they had discussed plans for their annual conference this fall •• but a note found in the meeting room afterwards indicated talks went a little farther. The note said, "Tactics-how do we react, as individuals, collectively? How do we act as individuals, collectively? And, in a press conference after the meeting, representatives of the presidents discussed the causes of revolt in Canadian universities. They blamed themselves for creating it, saying they had increased demands for power by implementing the recommendations of the Duff-Berdahl report calling for increased student and faculty involvement in university government. On individual campuses, moves to stave off student revolt gave students seats on committees, senates and boards. In addition to U of T, the University of Alberta, Ryerson and colleges conttrolled by the United church made prov1s1ons to place students on their highest governing body. Yet, few people believe this will head off trouble. At the Canadian Student Affairs Association conference in Calgary, a meeting of officials involved with student affairs, talks did take place about what could be done to pacify activist student groups. But the problem which seemed to bother delegates most was the questi9n of whether or not city police should be called in face of trouble at campus. Regression The summer had its fair TINY TIM SAY: TIP TOE TO THE COMMERCE Warrian, president of the Canadian Union of Students, plunged briefly into a student council debate to condemn "the incompetent bourgeois press" and explain what he really said. The oft-misquoted passage, he said was: "Some people say that this is the year to sock it to the administration and sock it to their buildings, but we must also take it to the students, knowing that democratization and liberation are achieved not by manipulations of the few but by the struggle of all." There is distinction Warrian said, between "advocating violence and creating a framework in which violence can be discussed." The student fees fight, initiated during registration week by four Trinity College students to withhold $12 of theii fees--the portion turned over to the student council by the university. compulsory parental aid. Late in the summer, the province announced it would institute spot checks to prevent cheating on the loan forms. In July, the national defence department announced establishment of military chairs at five Canadian Universities. The department will provide up to $250,000 to support each chair. The program, shrouded in secrecy, is supposed to "enable study of international and . national security in a Canadian context." Student leaders immediately criticized the plan as a "military invasion of the university" but were stymied in attempts to determine the real design of the program.

In late spring, the government of Newfoundland announced • that students at Memorial University would have to complete a means test before receiving free tuition. Since.

Several new restrictions were put on the student award program in Ontario. The restrictions featured introduction of a deadline date for students applications and a new definition of the "independence" clause for students who want to avoid The four distributed about 10,000 leaflets charging Warrian and the council with "incitements to mob rule and violent insurrection." However they have had little response. U of T student president Steve Langdon condemned the campaign as "totally irresponsible and reprehensible." "The council has a total commitment to non-violence a commitment that has always been made," Langdon told the four protestocs. "You are using the bogey man of violence to chase away the necessity of change.

AT ARTHUR AND ~ �propagan - The Administration of Lakehead University "tells it like it is.·· Garbage! In speeches and news releases the Administration distorts issues to their advantage. If something can't be distorted, it is suppressed. For example, the news release of September 14 reads, "Mile-long line-ups, sore feet and writers• cramp are no longer symbols of registration at Lakehead University. With the aid of the new •mechanical brain', the university's IBM 360 computer, Registrar Don Ayre and his staff have worked out an efficient method of registering each student in record time.·· Hans Christian Anderson couldn't have written better. In reality, registration was no better than last year's mess. The Administration tried to counsel every student in about a week. Lines stretched out, forms piled up, and students couldn't choose their own "elective" courses. The registrative process began at one end of campus ahd ended at the other. When classes began, registration tables sealed off the tunnel. This new method may or may not be speedy, but it is far from ''efficient". Another statement, from the same news release, says, "the housing shortage has been met adequately although there is still a need for more apartments and houses." How can the situation have been "met adequately" if there is "sti II a need for more apartments and houses"? Nor are the distortions restricted to news releases. In a speech to frosh artsmen September 16, Dr. Tamblyn warned the students of the dangers of radicalism. He said a minority group could possibly direct the students towards radical action, if the students were not "involved". "The answer to minority rule is majority participation", he explained. The ARGUS couldn't agree more. If more students got "involved", if there was "majority participation", then the Administration, which is a very experienced, articulate, and powerful MINORITY, would no longer rule the student body. But for students to get involved they must understand the university. And to understand the university they must know what kind of "news" and speeches to expect. These are designed to pacify -- to cover up the truth with cheery phrases about the university's wonderful progress and ideals. So long as people think everything is fine, the Administration is in a very secure position. lf the students protest, public opinion will turn against them. The public won't realize there is anything to protest.. .. letters to the editor Arts society luncheon Sir, To a serious musician, a discordant note jars.

I not begin to deal with the Black community in a fair and just way, the violence which has been confined to the ghetto will spread to white areas. Many Black Illltn coming back from Viet Nam, will not stand back idly and see black communities destroyed while the suburbs remain untouched. Mr. Kramer also believes that the logical extension of the present police efforts in places like Chicago will be the lessening of non-violence among the anti-war groups. There is a difference between an analysis of the end product of current practices and an open espousal of violent overthrow of the American Government. Except for the editor's introduction, which was misleading, the article was interes ting and informative. Sincerely, Larry M. Anderson I listened to remarks made by our University President. Then Ron Baker came to the rescue. Let me say here that I am in total agreement with Ron's criticism of the nature of the President's speech within the framework of what can be termed a "proposed introduc• tory social". It was clear to me and others who were present, that the Society was used - that the Society merely created a most effective opportunity for the Administration to subtly lay down policies, thus instilling a certain measure of reservedness and "fear of victimization" in the new minds - giving them no chance to analyze and sum up university life in a rational way, and limiting individual thinking. Too much does this re• semble the calculated strategy of authoritarians, capital• ists, power holders in their attempts to keep "lesser .folk 1' in submission. It makes me wonder at this stage, for what purpose the luncheon was organized. Certainly, it did not create the welcoming and "getting to know you" type of atmosphere one would have expected. I feel it necessary for me here to pinpoint some of the disturbing remarks made by the president. Revolution! He said some people feel that current world problems can be solved by revolution rather than reason. He added that violence does nothing but breed violence. He failed to make it clear that revolution does not necessarily indicate violence. Such a statement tends to create in young minds a fear of the term revolution -- a desire to shy away from anyone or anything revolutionary in concept -- making them less susceptable to changes that are current and necessary in our society. This is hardly what we expect the university to do to us. Further, he implies "reason" as the best and only real method that can bring about urgent and well needed solutions. But of course, Mr. President, this is the ideal. This is what we want to believe. But does not experience and study of existing situations show us otherwise? Could we reason with someone who enjoys authority and controlling power to give up some measure of this or to give those whom he considers "lesser" enough power to be on a par with him? Could the anti-Viet Nam War demonstrators in the U.S.A. ever hope to make their ideas felt by reasoning with the government? Could Castro have reasoned with Batista?

Headlines in newspapers have it that loans to students to attend - university this year are going to be more difficult to obtain and in fact, one newspaper put it bluntly, that there may be no more money in the fund to loan to students. At best, a student and parents are subjected to the embarrassment of a very stringest means test. The loan is granted according to this means test and when granted, the loan can range from $100 to $900 ( more in some cases). The first $150 is repayable along with 60 per cent of the next $750 or a total repayment of $600 out of the $900. However,. when we scrutinize something else that is happening in our society and make a comparison of the position of our governments on this matter with their policy on students' loans, we get some glimpse of how unequa! people are treated in our just society. Rightly or Wrongly, the Ontario-Minnesota Pulp and Paper Co. Limited which is a subsidiary of the huge Boise Cascade Corporation, were recently issued a forgivable loan (a straight grant) of $117,000 and some odd dollars to erect a new sawmill in Kenora. No means test was applied and none of the loan is repayable. On the basis of need, as applied in the means test for students loans, Boise Cascade Corporation couldn't qualify for any assistance. This corporation's earnings after taxes (profit) in the year December 31st, 1967, were 28.3 million dollars. Their accumulated earned surplus (profits not paid to shareholders in dividends) was 122.3 million dollars. They They only paid out 7.4 million dollars to their shareholders in dividends and retained almost 21 million dollars of the profit in the Company. Now I ask you, when the comparison between the two is made, are we being fair with our young people? Could givable loans to industry a little more, make less of these unnecessary loans to che industry and assist people who are attempting to get an education? Are we not having too much juice squeezed out of the lemon by industries which can well afford to expand without government help? I am not opposed to loans to industry where such is needed but I am opposed to our government giving huge corporations such as this one, a Joan of any kind. This corporation can well afford to expand without loans from government. If we are to apply a means test of our university students, then I sugge st we should also apply a means test in these loans from the Ontario Development Association. Wh;~~~t u~ed that 70 new jobs will be created in the Kenora area th rough th is grant, I suggeS t that Boise Cascade could well afford to erect the mill without taxpayers' assistance. I also suggeS t that 117 of our young people being assisted by a $1,000 grant in order to get education would be more beneficial to our society than giving a grant of $117,·ooo to a corporation, which, in actual fact, if the same criteria was followed as on student loans, would not be entitled to such grant. It seems to me we have socialism for the rich but capitalism for the poor and industrialists do not seem to be opposed to socialism when it is being used in th•eir favor. J. G.

RIO DE JANEIRO(CUPI) •• The Brazilian government has been forced into educational reform by country wide student protests and eruptions. Some 3,000 students in this city last month occupied the city centre and paralysed traffic for hours. Occupation of several Brazilian universities has been a favorite tactic all summer. Reagan denounces black militant LOS ANGELES(CUPI)--The appointment of Black Panther leader Eldridge Cleaver as lecturer at the University of California in Berkeley has roused California Governor Ronald Reagan to demand the black militant be fired before he ever reaches the lecture podium. The University's Board of Regents, meeting at UCLA, faced a decision Thursday (Sept. 19) whether to overrule a faculty group which approved a student proposal for the course on racism led by Cleaver or to bend to the Governor's pressue. Reagan denounced the appointment as "quite an insult to the people of California," and said an overwhelming amount of mail indicated that they were "fed up". VOTE One of the Berkeley professors in charge of the course, Edward Sampson, said Cleaver would appear no matter what the action of the regents. He said the lectures would be held off campus if necessary. Cleaver is currently free on bond charged with assault with intent to commit murder after an alleged two hour gun battle with Oakland police. lltl5of 111otm.T.a1 ON SEPT. 27 )as X PERCY V.P.

This year's schedule will include intramural and intercollegiate volleyball and basketball and fitness classes. Fitness classes will begin October 3 at 9 p.m. and will include overall body condit ioning, cardiovascular conditioning, relaxation technique and personal exercise programs An instructors' course in swimming begins October 9 at 8:30 p.m. in the Port Arthur YMCA. As well, Miss Kangas will offer modem jazz, modem dance and rythrnic gymnastics starting in November. Miss Kangas says her spe- cial interest is gymnastics and afthough she feels most athletic facilities at the University are adequate she thinks it definately lacks gymnastic equipment. She says she will offer any sport that interests the girls and is within the university budget. She is also willing to give individual coaching for the upcoming Winnipeg track meet.

Tadashi Miyabe came to Canada when invited to speak before the WUS seminar on The University and Revolution at Edmonton (September 2 • 6). He was asked to visit campuses across the country following the seminar. Before coming to Lakehead, he visited Toronto and Montreal. Mr. Miyabe was surprised at the priorities of students at the WUS Seminar. "I was surprised," he said, "Because many students at first talked about changes such as university reform, seating on the Board of Governors, six out of 40 seats, --or whatever, However they soon become aware that the theme of the seminar must be Revolution AND the University •· not revolution in the university." "We realized that we are living in a revolutionary situation in that rapid changes are occurring. It is not a gradual change which is occurring but a e;hange of system. How, we asked, are the universities involved? Are we just living in an ivory tower?'' "At this point", he said. "Many students began to point out dissatisfactions, uneasiness with irrelevence of their university courses." "Thus we must ask: What is the content of our education? Some of the campus groups have begun to establish free university courses as a direct challenge to irrelevent courses. Some of the humanities students questioned whether courses will be relevent to the world about them •• to living thinking." "We live in a society which suppresses people. We often see this supression in authoritarian measures in the universities. It is not merely a matter of structure or form. The students try to make the present system upside-down.

This is the form they suggest. The issue on content is that supposedly living in a technological society, science ( technology) really liberates people •· works for their good. But is science subjugating us?" "We do not need scientism," he said. "We need science which will attempt to free men from • the enslavement of labour." "Society should be ruled from the bottom by the people, for the people. Many students are looking at their own navels. They must see that university affairs are many layered. The local issues must lead to national and international issues. We must see this correlation. Issues must not be of interest only to a certain group of people. Certain basic prol>lems (urbanization, etc.) must be seen in an interdisciplinary way." Mr. Miyabe spoke about National Liberation Movements, and their importance in our society. For the most part, his comments were based on observations ma,de while in Quebec, for he had had the opportunity to study this movement there. "This is a big problem not only for Canadian students but for other students around the world," he said. "Last night I was in Detroit where both black and white students are involved in movements to free themselves, to humanize themselves. National Liberation is basic to our contemporary system. Japan is involved in the Vietnam war. We have more than 140 military bases used for attacks on Vietnam. Our ports supply USA warships. Military treaties make us feel powerless. ONTARIO STUDENT AWARDS Tadashi Miyabe at infonnal gathering Democracy is not working. We cannot effect our system. Japan is attacking indirectly Vietnam, but we are not only assailants but victims, because we feel we cannot stop it. We cannot just criticize the USA. We must also criticize the Japanese government. We must attempt to liberate ourselves. We must not only criticize •· for our very being might be supporting and allowing this situation. For the Vietnamese it makes no difference who oppresses them. We must question ourselves as lo whether we have any right to threaten another person's countries, or try to control their destinies. We must also try to liberate ourselves from others." "We should take this same position on National Liberation," he added. There are three key issues confronting students, according to Mr. Miyabe: urbanization, democratization, increase in numbers. Throughout the world, student unrest in urban areas can be attributed to these major causes. Mr. Miyabe compared Quebec to his home university in Japan. "Some once COMMERCE TELLERS MAKE GOOD FRIENDS be labled as separatists," he said. "This is no longer true. They look upon themselves as people who wish independence, to be themselves. Mr. Trudeau is not popular among students in Quebec. They are not against the Anglo-Saxons of Canada. They want as much as the rest of the students in Canada to liberate themselves from the United States." "Canadians have such fancy settings," he continued. "You do not have so much to complain about. My university has 40,000 students. Tokyo has more than 20,000,000 people within a 31 mile radius, more than 100 colleges and universities, and more than 600,000 students. Quality of instruction is poor. The population in education has tripled since 1945. Our professors copied the elitist European system. Student • professor ratio is 20-1, but professors commute from one college to another (for money). Classes are up to 500 people. Seminars will have more than 30 people. Seldom do students meet or associate with professors. Students often commute to and from university. I commuted for 40 minutes •· and this was very good. I knew a student who travelled three hours each way. Housing is really bad. Students might have an apartment nine feet by six feet. If all students showed up for classes, they could not fit into the room. Students often work to support themselves. People with high grades might get scholarships. Japan is a very vertica1, authoritarian, closed system."

The meeting was called to inform the student body of a demonstration to protest in• adequate bus service. The .. demonstration was to be held Monday, September 30. The students were to "fill all Port Arthur buses to capacity and remain upon them all day" and picket the Public Utilities Commission Building. The AMS would try to cancel all classes Moi;iday. At the general meeting, however, the students would not support the demonstration plans. Councillor Simon Hoad put a motion to the students that "the result of negotiations with the PUC are unsatisfactory" and that the students proceed to de- monstrate on Monday. But the students voted the motion down. They then passed two motions: one confirming confidence in the AMS Councif and one asking the AMS to form a committee to carry on negotiations with the PUC. The AMS Council had talked with Transit Supervisor George Hunter Thurs• day. One of the AMS rep• r~entatives, Dennis Wallace, eKRlained, .. All that the PUC would concede is hourly service to the book• store." The AMS had previously resolved to demand half-hourly service, and to ask the stud en ts to demon• strate if this service were not given. At present the, buses stop a half-mile short of the university every half· hour, coming the full distance at irregular intervals. Mr. Hunter described half• hourly service as impossible. He explained, "The schedule is so tight that we couldn't make it." Several students disa• greed. Karl Goodwin said the extension of the Oliver Road bus service to the Bus survey page five University would take only three. minutes each run. He added, "On two occasions I timed the bus waiting at St. Paul St. One was twelve minutes; the other was eight. Both were during peak periods." Several students agreed.

Canada's greatest value What started out as a simple presentation of speeches ended up in the · confusion of an extremely heated discussion. Mr. E. D. Kowel, President of the Young Progressive Conservatives for Ontario, and Mr. L. Bernier, M.P.P. for the Kenora Riding, along with Mr. D. Allan, another Y.P.C. member, appeared in the University Centre Friday, September 27 to address interested students. Only about forty people in all turned out to hear these speakers, and of those present about half were students. Mr. Bernier was the first to speak. He expressed an interest in hearing the viewpoints or grievances of the young people so these could be communicated to officials in Toronto. He explained, "We want to lxing you into the party and to show you how the Pro gressive Conservative Party operates, how you can voice your opinions. Then your ideas can be channeled directly into the mainstream of the policy makers." He said, "nobody used to listen to the ideas of youth, but that this is changing more all the time." He said, "The whole movement goes back to when President Kennedy was elected. This generated a new look to the younger people in the United States and across the world. On June 25 Pierre Elliot Trudeau was elected Prime Minister of Canada. Our own Premier Robarts was elected when he was fortyone years of age." At this point he introduced Mr. Kowel, who he said was a successful lawyer and had been in politics for a number of years. Mr. Kowel began his speech by talking about the disenchantment of young people for society today. "Young people", he said "are rejecting the goals of their elders. They are rejecting the general course that the elders have chosen for our country, as seen in the United States as well as many other countries around the world." He also said that too mu.ch is taken for granted by young people including edu- cation, and that the responsibility is being placed on society. He said "We owe it to the state and to our elders to be responsible in what we desire." "When one group takes upon itselr•, he added "the desire to infringe upon the rights of others we then enter into a state of anarchy and this is not in accord with our ideas of democracy. The rights of any and all minorities must be protected:' The McCarthy supporters in Chicago were used as an example. "He (McCarthy) exemplified the desires of many young people across the United States in the dissatisfaction with the war conducted by the United States in Vietnam. This was a very strong vocal eloquent well-reasoned group of people. But, by their conduct at the Democratic Convention they have lost whatever influence they may have had upon the policy formations of the United States. Had they raised their case as they had previously to that Convention they would have remained a very strong and active force and influence upon the Democratic Party and the United States." Mr. Kowel said that young people do not want to take over the government but that they would like to exert an influence on its policy making. "I want to make it clear that when we get the ball we want everyone in the ball game. I ask the seniors to work with us in this game.•• He emphasized the fact thatprogress cannot be made merely by dissent; "one cannot go ahead by looking in a rear view mirror, but you must look ahead." The meeting was then thrown open to discussion, which was anything but dull. The discussions centered mainly on the problem of student aid from the government. Mr. Allan sparked an argument with the words "At least some of you came to heckle. I went to political speeches when I was young to heckle." Karl Goodwin immediately replied "I came here to see if I could eat. I didn't come to heckle. My God!" "Why don't you apply for welfare?" was the reply. Turning to politics one member of the audience asked Mr. Allan "What has the Conservative Party got to offer me as a voter?" Mr. Allan began by saying he was interested in young people not on_ly as voters when Mr. Kowel interiected "What have you to offer your country? We're going to provide the means by which you can offer yourself." The meeting went on in this manner. Many students felt they were not given suitable answers to their questions. Arguments be· tween members of the audience developed as well. _ Mr. Bernier, Mr. Kowel and Mr. Allan, having just completed a tour of North· Western Ontario, lef.t fot Toronto last weekend. Psychology students form committee Psychology students and faculty are forming a committee which hopes to become the decision-making body of the psychology department. The first meeting, held September 25, was initiated by graduate. students. The meeting was largely dominated by students, with a few faculty members in attendance. One graduate student described the purpose of the committee as "to facilitate communications between the faculty and the students." The exact powers of the com- mittee have not yet been decided. Chairman of the Psychology Department, Bill Melnyk, supported the students' move. He said, "A lot of the staff have the fear that students are going to be irresponsible when they are given decisions, but they're not." For the Finest selections. A.

National Committee, spoke on Thursday Sept. 25 at a meeting in the senior lounge. ,The meeting was to acquaint students with the ideas and goals of W.U.S.C. (World University Service in Canada). Mr. Anderson described W.U.S.C. as an organization of students and faculty to promote understanding among universities in different nations and to provide aid to university students throughout the world. It provides scholarships for black students in such areas as Rhodesia who are exiled from their home countries. He went on to say that the traditional forms of fund raising were being abolished because it was felt that people were getting too involved with the fund raising and not concentrating on the other areas of W.U.S.C. At a meeting at the University of Alberta, members voted to remove Treasure Van which provides funds to run the national office. The national staff had cone entrated too much on making Treasure Van more successful. In 24 months Treasure Van will no longer exist. They also voted to remove Share Week, which obtains monetary donations from various campuses to support the work" carried on by W. U.S.C. A resolution sponsored by the Universities of Montreal, Toronto, York and Western Ontario called on W.U.S.C. to "take p_ublic stands on matters of domestic and international political importance". From now on the concentration will be on political education and international understanding. This will be done by the· presentation of films and speakers. The resolution also demanded that W.U.S.C. put pressure on the government and the community to raise public concern over domestic and international problems. This would include bettering the situation for Indians and putting an end to housing discrimination against international students. In the discussion following, Mr. Anderson's speech, several people offered to get involved in W.U.S.C. and to come out and work on TreasureVan, as it is still to be held this year. After the meeting, entertainment was provided in the tradition of Lakehead University: records, dancing, and a very busy bar. The meeting was well attended, with about 150 people coming out. Larry Anderson photo by Lummi ss Another enchanted mid-autumn festival submitted by the Chinese Student Organization CHU YUAN CHANG the Chinese hero The most interesting and outstanding event of the Mid-Autumn Festival is perhaps the "mooncakes". These cakes are round, and four to eight inches in size. They are filled either with mashed lotus seeds and ground flour of green peas, or with sweetened ground chestnut paste. Sometimes dried yolks are put inside the cakes to add mcxe flavour. There are many legends about the Mid-Autumn festival. One of these is the romantic story of the beautiful princess who flew to the mooh in order to escape her cruel husband. Another one is the legend of the lanterns and the evil spirits. However, the most interesting and touching one is about Chu )uan -chang---the national hero and the first king of the Ming Dynesty. The story goes as far back as the world famous Mongol Emperor, Kublai Khan. He was the leader of the Mongols-a race of unenlightened barbarians but born savage fighters. During these times China was under the rule of the Sung Dynasty(920-1279). The Sung Emperor, Tu-tsung, was a highly cultured man, but an inept sovereign. He entrusted the government to an unworthy minister and some greedy politicians. Seeing the weakness of the Chinese Emperor, Kublai Khan sent his huge army across the Great wall and invaded the Sung Empire. Despite the superiority in arms and numbers it took the Mongols more than eight years to end the courageous Chinese resistence. When the conquest was completed, Kublai Khan made himself the Emperor of China and soon behis Ion march into the Middle East and Europe. For the first time, the whole of China was in the hands of a barbarian conqueror. The Chinese people were, naturally, unwilling to be governed by an alien dynasty. They began to organize underground resist• ance against the barbarian rule. The Mongols, on the other hand established harsh laws and codes upon the people. Each Chinese family was forced to support a Mongol who dwelled with the family. These so called "family guards" were to keep the-govemmen t informed and suppress any insurrection right from the very start. It was at this critical time that our hero Chu Yuan-chang was born (U28). He was the son of a poor farm labourer. In his seventeenth birthday, an epidemic carried off his entire family. In order to live, be entered a monastery. The cloister, however, did not satisfy his ambitions. For, like every patriot, he wanted to revolt against the uncivilized rule. Therefore be abandoned his monastery and became a beggar, turning by natural transition into one 'of the rebels. His physique and perserverence soon gained for himself a place of authority. He soon became leader of the insurrection. Unfortunately, Chu Yuan· chang was confronted by a very serious problem. In order to driye the Mongols out of China, he needed a popular uprising simultaneously throughout the country so as to take the Mongols by surprise. But how could he inform all the people? We must not forget that every family was under the close watch of the •family guard'. Any wrong move would be disas terous. Ingeniously, Chu Yuan-chang thought of a solution. It was another enchanting Mid-Autumn festival. As usual people went out to the bazaars to buy their mooncakes. But strange things happened when they cut their cakes open. Instead of the ground flour of green peas, they found the message from Chu Yuan-chang: "It is the birthright of the Chinese to govern the barbarian and not of these latter to rule ourland. Haveno fear, heaven is on our side. The time has now come to drive these foreigners out of China. Kill your house-guard tonight when he is asleep. Pick up your swords and 'join the revolu• tionary army tomorrow," -, By the following dawn, the Mongols lost thousands of house-guards. They also found themselves facing a strong, organized angry Chinese army. Thus the war beganWhenever Chu captured a town, he forbade bis soldiers to pillage it, with the result that the inhabitants hailed him as a liberator who freed them from the Mongols. His battles were triumphant, for the imbec• ilicy of the last Mongol Em· ... peror had made the task of the liberation an easy one. At the age of forty, this unfrocked monk who started life as a pauper, became the liberator of his country and the successor to the heritage of the Han sovereignity. Today, when we celebrate our Mid-Autumn festival October 6, we al ways remember Chu Yuan-chang, the courag eous hero whose revolution was made possible by the sweet, delicious mooncakes. �The bus gam.e The AMS Counci I was embarrassed. They really didn't know what to do. They had passed a resolution demanding half-hourly bus service. They had decided (on paper) to demonstrate because negotiations had proven unsuccessful. But they were not sure. In keeping with the resolution, the general student meeting should have been a rally . to organize a demonstrati.on. Instead it was an .. unofficial" meeting (the students had no power of decision), which was nevertheless chaired by the "impartial" Chief Justice, Rene Larson. Is strict parliamentary procedure needed to .. inform the student body of the course the AMS will take"? Not a chance. Council was running away from its own decision. And a very foolish exit it was. They stood in front of the student body as elected leaders and showed themselves as incapable of carrying out their own decisions. Yet after the meeting they retreated to the Board of Governors Room where they unanimously voted confidence in themselves. What sort of game is Council playing? Their decisions are meaningless. Is this to be their attitude in the future? The bus issue is not over. The AMS has a committee to carry on negotiations. Several independent student groups are getting involved. Most students at the general meeting were dissatisfied, although they wanted to give the PUC a chance to improve the service. If the bus service isn't improved drastically, there might still be a confrontation. If that confrontation occurs, the student body wi 11 look to the AMS Counci I for leadership -- not confusion. letters to the editor A cavity to fill .

CUBA - FAST! letters to the editor 6 6 deliberately did not vote'' Sir, I deliberately refrained from exercising my right to cast a vote at last Thursday's A.M.S. elections. Further I thought it necessary to explain to your read• ers the situation in which I found myself and why I acted as I did. This could to some degree represent the feelings of many other 'Frosh' students at Lakehead University. The disturbing fact was that twelve days here did not and could never have given me a functionable under• standing of life at this institution. It couldnot give adequate knowledge of individuals to the extent where I could seriously prefer one to anotherin any given situatim. Posters just kept materializing on the walls, flashing the need to vote for what to me were just names, some indicating rather undesirable campaigning tactics that are fo be found in the world of politics 'playing'. I wondered what was goingon. Were these simply by-elections to fill certain vacant posts? Or were they the annual general elections of the A.M.S.? I was never able to get a satisfactory explanation of the procee<1ings. For the past week, I've been speaking occasionally with a particular student. On Friday night at the Arts Society'dance• he approached me and said, "Congratulate me, I got in." Only then did I realize that at baptism he was given one of those 'flashed names'. Then there was the incident of Kaz. Almost brainwashed by his written name, I inquired as ·to who he was Immediately a large picture of a bespectacled chap was indicated to me. That was the end of my know• ledge of Kaz Miyata, until I met him at the Argus office the following day. How could I vote? For whom was I to vote? One student attempted to come to my aid by indicating to me on a ballot sheet the •good guys•. I was irritated. By-elections or general elections, I could not under- stand the rush. Couldn't more time have been given, so that proper campaigns could have been wotked out? ••• so that first year students could have had a solid opportunity to assess the political situation? They would then have been able to give justice to their voting rights. I would recommend to the A.M.S. that serious consideration be given to this -for forthcoming years. Winston Rennie Arts I Artsmen not apathetic Dear Sirs: In the recent nominations for representatives in the Student Athletic Society (S.A.S.) council, thirteen members for the supposedly AP ATHE TIC Arts faculty stepped forward in the much needed fashion to help. This constitutes over 70% of the council, with the remainder going to University Schools with about 20%, and a very slack 5% or one representative to Science. Although seemingly over• balanced with these AR TS students the S.A.S. still has~ excellent council because all of these people are extremely keen, diligent and qualified to help run Student Athletics along with their executive. Therefore, let it not be said this year by any condescending person that the Arts faculty is apathetic, at least not with regard to sports. I remain yours truly, Bruce Brymer, President Student Athletic Society Curly - tailed friend Dear Sir: In truth sir, the pictures of THE PIG on pages one and five of the Sept. I 7th issue of the Argus were disturbing. Since the pig was hauntingly attractive, it seems a shame that she could be destroyed; her remains, probably her left ear or her left hind hoof, being employed in one of the cafeteria's hamburgers. In order to prevent such an eventuality, may be suggest that a P.I.G. (Piglovers International Group) chapter be set up on this campus. The chief purpose of this club will be to prevent the destruction of the pig pictured on the pages of the Argus.

Racial strife closes Trenton high school TRENTON, N.J.(CUPI)·· Trenton High School was closed Friday (Sept 27) after racial strife threatened to erupt in violence at the school. Trenton, a troubled school closed four times in the last nine months over racial incidents, was only one of three New Jersey high schools plagued by student boycotts. Roland Daniels, black principal at Trenton, closed the school after fist fights broke out in the school. Across the street, an angry «rowd of boycotting white students threatened to chase out of a part a smaller group of black students who had come to make peace. The white boycott, involving several hundred s'tudents wearing "Wallace for President" buttons, is in its second day. The protest centres about alleged beatings administered to whites by militant blacks. Nearly 2,000 of the school's 3,000 students didn't even bother to show up for school today. Leaders of the boycotting whites and several black stu· dent leaders met with Governor Richard J. Hughes Thursday evening in an effort to reach an agreement that would allow classes to resume next week. There was no report from the meeting Friday. The high school was closed once last December because of fighting 'between whites and blacks and again in April after TREASURE VAN will be here MON. - FIJI. Oct. 7 - 11 veyed by the press.

The inspiration for the school came from a local teacher who had experienced a working free school in Britain some two years ago. There has been a considerable amount of social pressure against this type of learning situation as it differs so greatly from the normal regimented type of school : Parents, Mrs. L. Wolter, principal of the school, said, were becoming exceedingly printing, one was typing on the big letter typewriter; all on their own volition. The boys were quite responsive when approached individually. When asked what he I iked best, Mikko said, .. I don't have to bring milk and I like the phonograph and slides". One said he liked to do m1mbers· another I iked "the ant colony, the fish, and the book about rabbits... Karla K.austinen, another grade one youngster, said rather jubilantly that he liked ··everything". The boys and girls are separated in Grade 1. Mrs. Wolter explained, "'girls quickly grasp certain rudimentary proced- by Bob Leggett and Wmston Renniephotos - Alan Roblin ures such as printing, addition, etc. The boys apparently sense this and do not strive to acquire such fundamentals as rapidly in a mixed group. A boy who does achieve the same level may be ostracized by his fellows and labelled as a sissy". The grade 1 girls' class had much the same type of atmosphere. The furniture was casually arranged and there were all of the usual number charts, and letters of the alphabet. In the back, some girls were making orange sauce. One I ittle girl told us that she could read all of the 100 or so books. She probably could, judging from the way she sped through Mother Goose. Once again some students were busying themselves with printing, addition, subtraction and reading. Others were watching slides on the projector in the comer. One girl, Sarah, was transfixed on the phonograph for three or four minutes, I istening to a record. It wasn't until the record was finished that she turned and said to one of us, "Wasn't that nice? I would like to hear We've got to beat this transportation problem. ' -.,. concerned about the academ'ic welfare of of their children. However, this concern is being partly alleviated by the open classes. Parents can watch pupi Is at work and in this was gain a better understanding of the methods adapted in this type of education. The community has shown a lot of interest; Mrs. Wolter said reactions were varied. She said, "We are setting up a steering committee to study the Ha II-Denn is report... This committee will be compri'sed of people in the community plus teachers and school administrators. The pupils seemed to be very unconcerned about a stranger's presence in the room. They al I had something to do and went about it in their own fashion. In the boys' Grade 1 cl ass, young fellows were feeding and studying the ·rabbits in a cage off to one side. In one corner was a record player and slide projector. One pupil politely explained that this was the .. quiet corner" but that noisiness was allowed in the other three corners of the room. Another looked quietly at the rabbits for the longest time and then went to a desk to draw a picture of them. A boy was busy counting with numbered blocks, another was "I woula like to hear my voice on this thing.•• my voice on this thing... We Jater learned that Sarah was an avid singer and listener, and often entertains the class. The children are taught and encouraged to operate slide projectors, phonographs and al I the other apparatus they have to use. They are not required to request permission to leave the room but are al lowed to leave and enter the rooms as they wish. In fact, some children go into other classrooms to see a friend or to help with some project. ..I've got it here. It's all in the book.•• The pupi Is are responsible for keepi-ng .the halls clean after lunch periods. They also ring the bel I and distribute milk to their classmates at lunch time. The obvious question that comes to _one'smind after being there for a few hours is, "What are the teachers here for?" Mrs. 1 Wolter explained to us that the school is based on the very simple principle that, "the chi Id is the most important here; what he wants to learn is our primary concern." She said that the teachers and pupi Is all learn together. One of the most striking things about Gre4:!n Mantle is the way. a pupil accepts his classmate's knowledge, even ·though the particular student may not be at the same level in a given subject. One boy in grade two was patiently assisting his friend who was doing phonics. Michael, a bright grade two pupil, was almost the class guru. His fellow classmates came to him for assistance in clearing up certain ,detai Is. They accepted his knowledge with involved discussion, but very little dogmatic quarel I ing. In the kindergarten three boys were working together in the carpenters shop, a corner given over to woodworking. They were having difficulty in fastening a block of wood in the vice when Monty from grade two stopped in and showed them the proper way to do it. In a few minutes all three of them had mastered the technique and were trying their hand at their new found trade. _ In one of the grade two classes, two girls were correcting each other's additions and discussing their mistakes. Green Mantle's casual and personalized approach to school work has developed a school of diversified interests; where each student finds at least one activity he I ikes to do. However, through the process of socialization, with classmates, a student usually will go on to other subjects. According to Mrs. Gwen Nyman, a grade one teacher, some students may lag behind in subjects such as Reading. By the completion of grade one, however, eac~ student is usually reading at the "required level .. and in some cases, we witnessed the students reading at grade three level. Some of the Grade 1 boys, when asked what they liked best, agreed unanimously on "work'•. When asked what work was, they differed considerably. Some defended .. work" as 'painting'; 'writing on paper'; �argus, october 3, 1968, page 7 Of Green Mantle or 'making things'. They decided that all other activities were play. According to one of the teachers some of the pupi Is have told their parents that they don't do anything but play. Needless to say, some of the parents were rather excited and dismayed at their chi ldrens' reports. Each student at Green Mantle seems to possess an abnormal amount of self-responsi bi I ity. Mrs. DoneHy said that last year, she was late for school and when she arrived in the class, all the children were busy at some type of work. In fact the cl ass was at such a norma I n oi se Ieve I, engrossed in writing. Michael, a grade two pupil, was the most noticeable of al I the 'bright' or 'advanced' pupils. He had started reading some months behind the normal level in an ordinary school. After one month in grade two, Michael was using the encyclopedia set -understanding and remembering what he had read. He explained to us, using the encyclopedia, the values, traits and nature of al I iga.tors. On the same page of the book was a picture of an allasaurus which he pointedly explained was smaller than the taurasaurus. Unemployment in the future? The disturbing part about the situation in Nipigon is that these' children wi II leave thi.s 'free atmosphere· and enter a traditional public school in grade three. When askabout the problem of the children adjusting to an ordinary school, Mrs. Wolters said that they hope each pupil will retain some of the self-motivation and independence he has gained in the previous three years. A regimented school can no doubt also produce creative, advanced and well adjusted children, but the question is how many? How many students like Michael or Monty, a grade two pupi I who wrote the following story. The story is in book form consisting of eight pages, with each page illustrated and in large type letters. It was written \ast year after his father had scolded him for losing his coat. It read as follows: THE LOST COAT "Once upon a time there was a little boy. He went off the school bus and went home. He threw his coat in a corner of the closet. Then a I ittle dog took the coat and a big dog took it off him. The dog catcher pretty nearly got the big dog but only he gpt the jacket. When the dog catcher was driving he went near a playground. A man put the coat in the garbage can. The boy looked in the closet but there was no coat. He looked under the bed and he looked and looked and looked and looked. He went to school with a winter jacket on and he sweated." Monty Sly Grade One. that the other teachers did not realize she was absent. Creativity is one of the most stressed aspects of the school's role. All the outlets, materials and facilities are on hand for each c1Ji Id's use. Some of the paintings were particularly good. One Grade two boy said that he had written 76 books last year and that one student, Monty, had done well over one hundred books. In grade one, a boy made a large crane from a mechanic set. It worked by reeling in the boom on a piece of string which was connected to a crank. The pupils, at various times of the day, sit in a circle rn the centre of the room. One pupil will show his work. He will answer questions about it and hear his peers offer various suggestions to improve his creation. The children who seemed to blossom in this type of situation because of its nature were many. One boy who had failed grade one in a traditional school, had become Kenny, who is in Michael's class, told us that when he reads to the class he has to use the 'baby book'; the prescribed grade two reader, but that he could read the other 'grown up books' on his own. The most striking aspect of the Green Mantle .school is the air of contentment which seemed to prevail throughout its inner-sanctum. Nowhere did we experience a crying or sulking child. Most of the students were obviously very happy. Alexander, in Kindergarten, could only be described as jubilant. All the students seemed to be at least adjusted and content. The lack of superfluous rules is another main feature and to a great extent is probably responsible for the type of child we found at the school.

"The Administration promised us that if we agreed to the Great Hall being used as a cafeteria, that given ample notice, the Great Hall can be cleared out for any event that we migh( have in there. We've had several events in there since this started, without having any problems. Also it's more pleasant to eat in the Great Hall than the cafeteria. "We did have trouble with the student-faculty reception in the first night because there wasn't enough manpower, and we had to do half the work of clearing ourselves." "I think it's a good idea. There is more room. You're not as crowded. They can still take the tables down and use it as a hall." LORNA CAMBLY Nursing "They haven't got enough space downstairs, so I know it's working out upstairs, where it is cooler and lighter. A lot of kids are now reading there. I have been fighting poor ventilation all summer. I think that within half an hour, they can have the whole hall cleared and chairs stacked. I have no objections to card players and readers, but in a community, they should respect the wishes of others. If there are any personal complaints, students can knock at my door. If there are any serious complaints, we can take it to the food committee. I will guarantee that regardless of circumstances and lay-out at present, my staff and myself will do the utmost to make the best of a bad situation." BOB GUDE Cafeteria Mgr. PETER McCORMACK AMS President "It's a good idea because the cafeteria facilities are not adequate as they stand. Access to food is still a problem because the main courses are served only in the main cafeteria, though the situation has been partially remedied by the lunch bar. "One question that arises in my mind is what are they going to do when they want to have a dance, or to use the Great Hall for anything that will necessitate them moving all the tables and chairs out of here at the expense of. the student? The lower cafeteria downstairs should be used primarily for people who want snacks and not for reading and playing cards. The student lounge is available for this. The only answer is a larger student lounge with places for them to play cards and sit around. The lower cafeteria is like a dungeon anyway•· no windows, no ventilation, and above all, it's unclean." TOM SMITH "I think it's a good thing. It alleviates the congested area found in the main cafeteria. The cafeteria should be meant to be a meeting place, as well as an eating place. In past years the Great Hall has been vacant four or five days a week, except for weekend Animal dances and ping pong players. Although we are now using the hall, there is no excuse for not planning ahead to have a cafeteria which is capable of seating students enrolled in the university."

JOHN'S, Nfld.(CUP)-· A boycott of the formal admission ceremony for freshmen at Memorial University has led administration president Lord Stephen Taylor to threaten all 16 members of the student council with tile "gravest personal consequences'' interpreted by council members as expulsion. Taylor made the threats Friday (Sept 20) after council had told freshmen to boycott Saturday's admission ceremony to protest the university's arbitrary placement of students into a "foundation year". The foundation program requires- students who are weak in some subjects to take a term of remedial work before registering in first year courses. Only 250 out of the 1500 students showed up at the formal ceremony. Normal attendance at the affair is about 50 per cent. Council had asked · that students be given the ffoal choice of whether to take the foundation year. In a show of hands vote at a general meeting, the students supported this. by a majority of 10-1. De scribing the council's actions as "wicked and evil", Taylor said: "Your fathers would be ashamed of you". Earlier this summer, Taylor told two student councillors that any leader of a campus The difference between demonstration would be expelled.

Mustangs are optimistic" I Lakehead Mustang coach Bill Shannon is tremendously optimistic despite his team losing it's fourth game 28-0 to the St. Vital Bulldogs. Shannon was especially pleased with his defensive unit which in fact pennitted only two of St. Vital's four touchdowns. The coach also commented that the Pony defence had completely stifled St. Vital's game plan. With a few added moves, Shannon hopes to contain St. Vital's speedy pass receiver, Bryner and thereby stop their major threat. With the upcoming game with the St. James Rams, Shannon 1s confident of victory. He commented that his players are edgy and very ready for that game. Practi_ces have become extremely v10lent with fights almost breaking out due to extra hard hitting. The coach doesn't plan to keep on Ram fullback Robinson, who scored all of their points in the last game. Shannon said he doesn't think Robinson is that good. In short, the Rams had better watch out as the Mustangs are hungry for victory, and with this being the key game of the year, the hunger pains are becoming severe. - Shannon COOCH'S CORNER by Larry Hebe rt UNDER QUOTABLE QUOTES David Young: "If you can't be an athlete be an athletic supporter."

There will be awards for individual as well as team achievements. Top bowlers, male as well as female will form an inter-collegiate team to compete against colleg~s and universities in the United States. Bowling will commence at the Big 'M' Bowl on Saturday afternoons at 4 p.m. For this purpose the Big 'M' Bowl will give the university a cut rate for the games •· 40¢ per game whereas normally it costs 55¢ per game. The intramural league will be sanctioned through the American Bowling Congress and the Women's International Bowling Congress. This will entitle participants to addition- • al recognition for outstanding range from diamond rings for perfonnance. These awards perfect games (who knows?) to colorful chevrons for 'impossible' spares, triplicates etc. In order, that we might get any sort of budget from the A.M.S. we must have an excellent turnout.

W.G. Sumner writes about thf power of the crowd over the individual, the irrationality of societal mores, and the nature of mass movements and manias. "Untrained people. form strong convi.ctions which have long and firmly been held without evidence, and they offer to others the firmness of their conv1cuons as grounds for accepting the same faith without proof. Ritual acts and observences which others can see, also conduct and zeal in prayer and singing, help this transfer of faith without or against proof," says Mr. Sumner. It is necessary to examine both the SDS and the student power platforms by reference to verifiable facts and your own personal experiences to avoid being swept into a mass movement, willy-nilly, out of • reflex radicalism and unexamined motivation. A few good questions to answer to your own satisfaction are (1) what is the purpose of a university and (2) why did I come to university? These are difficult and for me they lead to further questions and trail off into uncertainity. Even this uncertainity is useful to the extent that it helps one reject simplistic and dogmatic answers. I would like to express some reservations I have about the student power movement. Some of these refer in particular to the September 18 meeting and others are comments on the trends in stu• dent power and youth movements in general. Alledia One of the experiences which has made me skeptical of press coverage and the mass media treatment of youth movements was the presentation of "the hippie phenomenon". Anyone who was involved with the hippie communities in Toronto and Vancouver knows that the media misrepresented them 'to such an extent that they c;ouldn' t recognize themin their reflected image in the press and television. For one thing, hippies didn't call themselves hippies. They were not as confident or well organized as the media first represented them to bea hippie didn't have all the social, political and philosophical implications of his life style worked out. Nazis sell Negro / contr~I equipment TRIANGLE VA.(CUPI)-· The former American Nazi Party is now selling guns by mail in anticipation of a Negro uprising, according to the Washington Post. The group, says the newspaper, is offering by tele• phone, direct mail and advertising sale of what it calls "Negro control equipment" ranging from not guns to chemical MACE. William L. Pierce, assistant executive officer of the National Socialist White People's Party, will not just sell to anyone. "As long as it looks like a legitimate order, we go ahead and fill it," be said. But if it looks suspicious, be checl.s with police. "We tend to attract unbalanced people, the kooks, you know,•~ he added. According to the Post, the Nazi Party offshoot has sixteen active members in the United States. Nor are hippies as woebegotten and sickly as the selective treatment of the media would indicate-a hippie isn't always riddled . with syphilis, hepatitus, and a yearning to return to the office job. From this evidence I can only conclude that the media consistantly missed the point. It served their purpose then to have a jubilant community of non-conformists. It now serves their ends to have a beaten and repentant band of deviates. ' The reporting of student power on campus has been no more accurate. You are left with a choice of believing what you see with your eyes, or what you read in newspapers. For me, the media just makes it more difficult to understand the reality of what is going on around me. Pigs with them would be identical wi_th regard to the student movement. Many present didn't think so. The non-economic aspects of the · Canadian society are just as important in determining our quality of life. Many of the distinctions drawn bet ween our nations are marginal ones, but I can see the process of independence growing and it promises a confrontation with the USA which will shake relations "between our countries to their foundations. Even in the forming of student movements we seem to be looking for a unique Canadian style. If tradition is to be a guide, the short history of student movements would suggest that the Canadi an students will employ less violent methods to support their demands. Relevancy The method of the status The relevance of university quo seems natural enough. studies is part of the dogma Insurgency is to be met with of all student movements. counter-insurgency, action Is a course in anthropology or with reaction.

ST.JAMES Furthermore, from what I understand, this all-encompassing emphasis is motivated bv bad faith. As the SDS speaker explained, it was brought about through the disillusionment with the sufficiency of former demands. Campuses where students have won the power to hire faculty, set their own courses, and sit on governing bodies, are still producing graduates to man American military research programs and generally joining the ranks of the other "established evil forces". Therefore, says the SDS our aims were not comprehensive enough. We have to strike at a broader base, change the society fran the bottom up instead of concentrating on the university level. What they are saying is that they no longer ttust students to make their own decisions, even when they are enfranchized to do so, because some students persist in using this power to make unenlightened choices of career. The SDS, apparently, will only respect another person's freely made decision when it coincides with their own. This is what I call bad faith. Lest the reservations I've expressed label me a reactionary, I'd like to fill the picture in. I am in no way satisfied with the quality of my past education and I am not pleased with the way my university education is being conducted for me. I realize there are two useful purposes for "higher learning" as far as society is concemed--to keep me off the labour market at present and to shape me so that eventually I fit into a slot in the esta• blished order. . . This realization disturbs me. I hope to be able to work toward a social change of broad scope in re-structuring the educative process, and I feel frustrated and impatient to get on with it. I haven't yet decided on a channel to work through, and from where I sit, it appears that the SDS will be of little help in the achievement of these goals. In the meantime, I am examining all my committments and regarding suspiciously anyone who would exploit me for their own ends, including the SDS. It is a difficult time and place to be a student.

The Senate sub-committee, concerned with re-organizing the senate, heard a brief presented by representatives of the A.M. S. council. A.M.S. President, Peter McCormack, explained that at this time the students were seeking representation on the senate sub-committees only. Another point in the report was that the senate sub-committee meetings be open to the student body. The committee members held reservations about student representatives. During discussion following the report, Dr. Asimi wondered, "How are you going to ensure that · a few represent• atives will represent the many shades of view of the student body?" Peter McCormack stated that the A.M.S. is now in the process of dialogue to ensure the representation of the students. Dean of Science John Hart questioned whether the students were formally asking for equal representation. Missi Powell clarified the point: "Yes on specific committees." Dean Hart felt that students might not have enough experience to work on certain subcommittees. Simon Hoad mentioned, "It's fully expected that once representation is obtained, students will have to do a lot of work, a lot of back work, so they don't go in cold." A major point raised by Dean Hart concerned the -possibility that the "internal dialogues" within the university between the student representatives, faculty, and administration would consume too much time. Certain members of the administration responsible for the "external dialogue" between the university and the Dr. Tamblyn al lows students into the Board of Governors room to present brief. provincial government would be unable to effectively compete with the other universities for money. Dean Hart described the provincial government as "the people who essentially are going to control the direction of this university." and he questioned, "Do you think that this university would have got this far if the organization had been as you suggest?" The council members asserted that it would. The general purpose of the senate reorganization is to set up a committee structure and'take away some powers of the administration. Until now, the senate has operated without using a committee system. Dean Hart said the university has just reached the point where there are enough faculty to take a greater part in administrative activities. "Where does all this now leave student representation?", was asked. Dr. Tamblyn replied, "The committee will consider it· the committee has many other proposals to 'con• sider." Mr. Melnyk, Psychology Chairman, remarked that the basic principles of the sub-committee and the students are the same. Another meeting was proposed with the committee after it has made its recommendations to the senate. �argus. -october 10, 1968, page 2 This week. ■ ■ THURSDAY,OCTOBERl0 Treasure Van • Senior Lounge • 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Athletic Advisory Board Meeting• Board Rm. - 12:15 Gen.

"The artists were given no direction, the University supplied brushes and paint, the construction people the wall, and the students the talent," said club advisor Ken Campbell. Presently, lack of facilities is restricting the Art Club to painting and drawing. In September, the club began painting the tunnel walls, b1tt the work was not considered art Ken Campbell described it as covering the walls to discourage more "infonnal writings."

Also at the meeting the committee on bus services reported. Council agreed to hourly bus service from Port Arthur and decided to seek hourly service from Fort Williani. The proctor force committee report was also passed. Proctors, forming a student police force for student functions, will be paid two dollars an hour. The chief proctor will get $2.50 per hour. Another col,111Jiittee reported that unless the yearbook has 75per cent of its advertisements by November 1, the Nor'Westeiwill not be published this year. The meeting lasted four hours. There was one abstention on a motion to adjourn. Bus drivers may strike Port Arthur bus drivers may strike next month if present negotiations are not sucessful. Student demands for regular bus service to the university apparently have nothing to do with the negotiations. The bus drivers are asking for a 15 per cent increase and more manpower. The Public Utilities Commission have offered an eight per cent raise and has agreed to hire more drivers. A spokesman for the PUC, Wayne Tocheri, said the bus drivers "have a legitimate beef and all we have to do is Nevv Year's Exams Christmas exams are no longer Christmas exams. They will start, ''where applicable" on Monday, January 6, according to a supplement to the University Calender.

"This moving," Dr. Tamblyn explained, "would in some ways disrupt certain classes before the Christmas Holidays."

Council agreed to accept hourly bus service last week after attempts to organize a demonstration against the PUC failed. The next union meeting will be October 28, when a strike vote could be taken. "In order for it to be legal," said Mr. Tocheri, "a strike can't occur until 10 days after the meeting."

Yet the major decision-making bodies of Lakehead University are closed to the general student body. The students cannot even see how decisions are made, let alone "participate". Recently the AMS Council has strengthened its stand on closed meetings. The council has removed its representatives from the Athletic Advisory Board, which holds closed meetings. Requests for representation on Senate committees have been accompanied with demands that the meetings be open. And sti 11 there are no changes. Why should such meetings be closed? What is there so poisonous to students that it should be hidden from them? Students do not want to disrupt meetings. All that is requested is the freedom to sit in at such meetings and observe. The people who make decisions that affect students should be accountable to students. Their actions and abilities should be clear. Any governing body which works for the good of the peopie it governs can lose nothing oy showing the people that work. The Senate of Lakehead University governs academic affairs. The Athletic Advisory Board of Governors is the highest control! ing body in the University. All three hold closed meetings.

So we bitch a little, barf a lot, and make no positive steps. The cafeteria is run by Versa-Foods. Who hired them anyway? Are we under contract to them until "malnutrition does us part."?

Why can't the University take over the cafeteria and hire a manager to run it? Bob Gude, present manager, is working to capacity, but within the limits of VersaFoods, how far can he go?

As one who has just recently entered these hallowed halls of learning as an adult student, I would like to speak on behalf of those who are cynical enough· to think that they might someday make a buck out of their struggle for education, even while hoping to get an occasional taste of fleeting pleasure during the occasional moments of creativity that the courses can, in spite of themselves, irovide. I have seen myself in the role of a bright eyed idealistic leftist proudly marching down Yonge Street denouncing Vietnam and President Johnson, stoutly braving the taunts (with my fellow heroes) of the Edmund Burk society and the Canadian Nazi Party whose combined forces must have numbered twentyfive, all the while I felt slightly taller and nobler in the eyes of my fellow men who were not also marching on this Saturday afternoon when I really had nothing better to do. I have also known the deep and boundless joy of earning my daily bread by the sweat of my honest brow for the princely sum of $75 a week before deductions as every night in my prayers I thanked my employers, the government of Ontario, and particularly John Roberts for their limitless generosity in enabling me to maintain such a princely standard of living. So I am perhaps justified in feeling threatened by those who would remove marks and degrees from the University and deny me that slip of paper which reads B.A. to take to the establishment and say look (I who you sneered at and paid in peanut currency have made it. Admit me). On a less cynical level would you want your appendix removed by a man who never had to take a test? Why cannot someone press for the legitimate aims of student rights, advocate to control their own affairs such as what they want to study and what criteria they wish to be measured against and leave such ideals as overthrowing the capitalist system to the- nuts who believe that eight hundred years of political evolution beginning with the Magna Carta can be changed overnight for the better, while a new culture and society might take another day. Oh well, someone has to be bourgeois. Robert Macleod Arts 1 • simon says. • • Happiness is getting up early to work, after an evening of debauchery and then falling asleep on your couch. Canadians are as much masoistic as the Finns. Our perversions however are related much more to our technology-oriented surroundings. The Finns attempt to wreak havoc on the internal body chemistry by the simple extremes of heat and cold. We wreak havoc on our minds by enduring stress of an unpresidented order once a week. This fact may not be too apparent to regular movie-goers, but tum over in your mind the films you have last viewed. Weren't they consistently mediocre? The watch-dog of mental health, the bladder, warns us against such films. By internal pressure, the bladder reveals the turmoil in the mind. We must heed the warning and once we have been forced to leave our seats, never return. A case in point is the movie "The Green Berets". A movie so consistently bad from start to finish that individual criticism of its most glaring errors makes the specious assumption that a better product is possible. Only one comment, before I empty my bladder.

Dennis, co-author of the HallDennis Report on Education, drew two capacity crowds at Lakehead University Thursday. He spoke first to an audience of professional teachers and educators and later to a meeting of the general public. Mr. Dennis approached his audience in a personal manner, abandoning an outline of the report and attempting to convey the "sentiment mood, and conviction of the report." He set up the imaginative situation of himself as teacher, the audience as a class of children and then posed the dual question: What am I as an educator going to do for you? Whatdoyou expect to get here today? Throughout his speech he then contrasted the answers to these questions with reality. Mr. Dennis gave his personal evaluation of society as a string of adjectives: pluralistic, mobile, explosive, productive, organized, specialized and materialistic. The people of this society and necessarily its t:hildren, are materialistic, opportunistic and seff indulgent. Canadians, as a people, lack conviction, courage and colour. We are not known for our deep philosophic thought. We have replaced philosophy with utili~; w~ lead cl~an e~ficie~~• functional, and sterile hves. With this cnt1cism in mind, Mr. Dennis expounded his ideals, what he wanted to do for the children in his classroom, what he wanted to give them. First he wanted to give youth skills in pro• blem solving. Maturity is more specifically defined as the possession of just such skills. Further, the proble~s to be solved are not arithmetical, but personal. Children must learn how to live successfully in an ever depersonalizing, dehumanizing environment. Secondly, Mr. Dennis hoped to encourage "Positive attitudes towards change". Change has become a cliche in our society. Children will have to be flexible and adaptable enough to handle it. Personal qualities which permit such a positive attitude are self-discipline, a sense of freedom and a sense of responsibility. Finally, he would endow children with two complementary talents: critical _judgement and a compassionate and understanding heart. tI~re he is arguing for the development of both mind and spirit. The pith of Mr. Dennis' persuasive argument is this: Where in our learning programs a~e we building this into our children? The contrast ~a•••• __,.. ..- 414 Victoria Ave,.

Learning must take place in between hopes and reality demands deep soulsearching and critical examination. The HallDennis report is the examination; he asks of liis audience the dialogue and discussion. Educators and parents today are too busy to help children with problems, to give them the skills they need .to handle problems themselves. Our school systems are authoritarian and punitive. Teachers order, teachers threat• en, teachers deprive. In no way do these methods encourage responsibility, freedom or self-discipline. Again, do educators have time for compassion?

Love, in the sense of concern and ~o-operation, in the sense of "I invite you to learn with me." The learning process is a sensitive human experie.nce. It is an individual experience; a teacher cannot enter into it. When a teacher tries to evaluate it by grading, he interferes with the process itself. The learning experience is a continuous one. It refuses to be programmed. Disorders, untidy and beautiful, it is perverted by curricula. To be able to control this new environment a teacher must be skilled in technology, sociology, political science, and pedagogy, as well as the classical subjects, and must teach with all the enthusiasm and professional com• mitment he can muster. The teacher must be given new freedom in the classroom. Legislation controlling educational policy must be flexible and open-ended. The observations and suggestions to this effect in the report itself are concrete and specific. Few people will challenge the sentiments expressed by Mr. Dennis. But, the sentiment itself is valueless and dangerous. Those who have listened to good will speeches, to appeals for patience, soul-searching and discussion until all action is stifled have ciJl instinctive distrust for such appeals, no matter how eloquent. My own suspicion increased when in response to questions from the audience Mr. Dennis stated that he was not hoping for leg• islation and implementation so much as discussion. Pleas for patience are met by the antagonistic stares of those who are forced to go through the educational system as it stands now, authoritarian, repressive and punitive. The only thing that comes to he who waits is old age. ju.s. Army surveys N.W. The United States Army Corps. of Engineers is in northwestern Ontario. An official leak has it that they are surveying the Albany River basin area with the intention of proposing a major water diversion scheme of Northern Ontario waters within the next eight years. William Sheridan, of Technocracy Inc., stated "we would consider it to be a very small, piecemeal effort." His company has proposed that a lake the size of Lake Superior be formed by careful construction of dams in a huge semi-circle west of James Bay. The proposed Lake, Lake Albany, would be as big as Lake Superior, which is 31,810 square miles. "It would be the biggest projected artificial lake in the •wor Id", said Mr. Sheridan. He added that this proposal has been presented because "it repre• sents the optimal development of this area by providing transportation to the far north, climatic modifications, flood and erosion control, vast hydroelectric power potential, extensive recreational develop· ment and ample water di version for agricultural and industrial developments in areas to the south." The Federal Power Com• mission of the United States estimates that the demand for hydro-electric power alone ~I~ nearly triple by 1980. With this in mind, according to Mr. Sheridan, • "Lake Albany be• comes more than a proposal; it becanes a necessity."

The Engineering Society, led by Dave Moul son, will man every exit from the groURds between 9:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m. and charge each person 25¢ to leave the campus. The money will go to the Thunder Bay United Appeal. According to ~- Moulson all of the 50 Engineers will participate, with about 10 men on duty at all times· throughout the day. The A.M.S. and Mr. E.

He appeared before the court of the Queen's bench in St. John after a lengthy discussion and vote by the thirty students sitting-in in his physics buildin~ office. The sit-in is heading into its eighth "day at the University of New Brunswick. Meanwhile, all eight graduate students in physics have demanded Strax's reinstatement to the university. In a letter to administration president Colin MacKay and physics department head Allen Boone, the students said Strax "has proven to be an excellent teacher" whose "academic credentials are unquestionable". They viewed his suspension as a "punishment for non-academic activities" and charged the best interests ofUNB students have not been considered. They demanded Strax' s reinstatement and "meaningful guarantees" that "such incidents will not occur in the future".

If you want to earn a living in a field that constantly offers new and exciting perspectivesnew problems to solve-consider the work of the Chartered Accountant. The CA has to grasp the essentials of many different fields, and have the independence to form objective opinions about them. He's more in demand than ever before, by corporations, non-profit agencies, government bodies at all levels. Why? Because the increasing complexity of business requires new concepts of factgathering, problem-solving, and communication of economic information. The CA, for example, is one of the leaders in planning new ways to use computer systems. He might also be called upon to weigh the relative merits of social programs in terms of available resources, helping to shape an urban renewal program. So if problems intrigue you, and if you have aptitude for concentrated, meticulous, creative thinking, you might make a good CA-in a public accounting firm, in industry, education or government.

The administration made a formal plea Wednesday night to the demonstrators, asking them to abandon the sit-in, but they refused. Wednesday afternoon, Strax and his counsel attended a board of governors sub-com• mittee hearing at a Fredericton hotel but left after an hour. Kelly and Harper charged the sub-committee was conducting a "kangaroo court". Sask. students protest loans REGINA(CUP) - Over 1,500 chanting University of Saskatchewan students marched here Wednesday (Oct. 2) to protest problems in student loans. They wanted answers from Prime Minister Trudeau (here to unveil a statue of Louis Riel) and provincial premier Ross Thatcher. Some students had seen the demonstration as a chance to force Thatcher to make good on his summer promise to close Saskatchewan's uni versities at the first sign of activism. The students, the largest student demonstration ever held in this prairie province, were mainly from the Regina campus of the University of Saskatchewan but over a hundred Saskatoon demonstrators travelled to join the march. The crowd followed a huge Canadian flag and bristled with signs reading "Toss Ross (Thatcher", "We want loans", "A free university in a free society" and "Just society just for the rich'". Trudeau told the students they were "selfish'" to ask that student loans be made to all academically qualified stu· dents. Trude au then said governments just can't go ahead and print money and said society as a whole bears the financial burden of education. Seeing his comments were bouncing off the demonstrators, the PM retreated behind "education is a provincial matter -- I'm sure you get the message" and tootled off to the airport. Thatcher never appeared but an aide said he would speak to the students "at a later date". At that point, however, he wanted to see Trudeau off at the airport. Trudeau spoke to the crowd for about ten minutes. Dave Sheard, president at Regina, presented a brief to Thatcher and Trudeau outlining student concern with inadequacies in the student loan program. Afterwards, Sheard said be was disappointed with Trudeau's reply but was happy with the turnout and conduct of the march. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Council voted unamimously last week to approach the student body .. after W.R. Petryshyn submitted a report on the 32nd CUS Congress held in Guelph in August. Petryshyn, one of the six Lakehead University delegates, urged that this university "immediately cease its relations with the Canadian Union of students and nullify any and all financial support to the Union." "The Union has now progressed beyond simply being elitist and non-representative," he stated in his report. "By accepting a number of policy statements this year. CUS has made itself into the vanguard of revolution against American imperialism and against a capitalist corporate organization ,of society." Petryshyn, who was not present to defend his report, concluded by saying, "I evaluate CUS to have become irrelevant to the Canadian university students it professes to represent," Councillor Bob Gibson then proposed that a referendum be taken. The motion was passed unanimously. AMS President Peter McCormack ·said the referendum would be held when council is . finished going over the CUS motions. "It will hopefully be held within a week," he said. supports cus McCormack hopes the students will choose to remain in the CUS. ''Lakehe ad University in its isolated position and at this early pedod in its growth cannot afford to be cut off from the action in Canadian Student affairs," he said. "If Lakehead University is to disagree with the activist policy ot CUS, that rather than drop· out of CUS, it is up to Lakehead University to work towards changing the direction of CUS." Mr. Pet,ryshyn stated in his report that he was greatly in favor of student involvement towards progress and change in Lakehead University. "What I cannot accept is our involvement in a UBion which vocalizes only one basic vtewpoint for all university students without having obtained indication of the political wishes of the majority of students it pretends to re• present. The mass of students have never authorized CUS to be a political spokesman for them,., he said. yell and hoof Missi Powell, vicepresident of academics and delegate to the Congress, disagreed with this viewpoint. "If you were to leave an organization because you believe it is intrinsicly undemocratic or bound by tradition by its very nature to a political philosophy to . which you can not subscribe, then I believe that leaving is justified." "But this is not the case with CUS. There is no committment made in its con• stitution to following specific policies of socialism, capitalism, Communism, or fascism. The policy of CUS 1s the policy of its members." In answer to Mr. Petryshyn's charges that members of the Congress tried to "yell and hoof down moderate speakers" Miss Powell said, "There were both moderates and conservatives at the Congress. If they were not heard it was because they did not speak. The CUS Congress was based on the rules of , parliamentary government. Therefore the arguments that the more conservative elements did not speak because they were not allowed to speak on the basis of thei, political tendencies is dearly untrue." While supporting the motion to issue a referendum to the student body, Miss Labor -supports loans PRINCE ALBERT(CUP)-The Saskatchewan Federation of Labor voted (at its annual convention here last weekend) solid support for student demands for a fairer and more equitable loan plan. The federation also recognized the "continuing harmful repercussions" of the provincial government's invasion of university autonomy. The grqup supported the university fight for autonomy and academic freedom a tmg the need for government action to "restore the confidence of academics, students and the general public in our university" . Supporting docmnentation pointed out that 64.1 % of employed Canadians were blue collar workers but only 85% of the Canadian student population · was drawn from that sector of society. The main barrier, said the union, was the high cost of postsecondary education. Powell emphasized that "the political tendencies of a union are just that-tendencies. There is no irrevocable committnient made. If you disagree with the tendencies, the course of action is opposition not withdrawal." Lakehead University's membership fee of $2000 is due the end of this month, but Robert Gibson said. "We will not be pressured by the financial obligation into making a hasty decision."

The tournament was fought in miserable weather, rain and wind soaking contestant~ and affecting long shots. But coach Shannon said Lakehead weather Jll(epared ·the team. Shannon was pleased with the way the team adjusted to the Peterborough golf course. Team members are all ex• tremely long off the tee, but the course is short-with plenty of sand traps. So, the team couldn't use their long reach and had to work hard with their irons. Rookie team member Dennis Halabecki got off to a poor start, scoring 88 the first day. But he blazed ahead with a 39-89-78 for the final 18 holes. Coach Shannon credits this ten stroke improvement with putting the trophy in Lakehead hands. With the Ontario Intercollegiate championship firmly at Lakehead for the second time in a row, coach Shannon has set his sights a little higher. He is hoping Lakehead will present a major threat at the U.S. Intercollegiate Championships' scheduled for Minneapolis next spring. University C.o mmittee open University Committee meetings in future will be open to observers. A motion to open up the meetings was overwhelmingly passed last. Thursday. . reter McCormack, President of the A.M.S. ongmally moved that meetings of the committee be open". Discussions were then directed to the rephrasing of McCormack' s motion. Alan Alexander of the Psychology Department proposed that the motion be worded: "that meetings of the University Committee be open to observers, and that those obserers may be allowed by a majority vole of the Committee at any time to speak." Mr. D. W. Morgan, Director of Development, suggested the addition: "Where briefs are to be presented, they should be placed on the agenda three days in advance." The new motion, comprised of both Mr. Alexander's and Mr. Morgan's suggestions, was then passed. Speaking on the motion, both President Tamblyn and Mr. Morgan expressed that advance notice should be given by students who want to speak on any issue, provided the committee recognizes him. However, the motion passed allows an observer· to speak on any issue, provided the committee recognizes him. �- argus, october 17, 1968, page 2 This week.

The author, a native d France, was is Paris throughout the disturbances. The second part will appear in two weeks It began on May 3rd .and surprised everyone. Daniel Cohn-Bendit said later that he and his friends had been planning it for next October. The French were slum• beriog, while a man of 78 kept telling them he knew better what was good for France. •'Nothing ever happens in this country, the French are bored:' a well-known columnist had just written in "le Monde". How could these be "objective conditions" for a revolution? Politics: Stale Water Hopeless immobility would describe the political situation then, On May 13th. 1958 De Gaulle had been given the leadership and in 1965 he was legally (with 46% of the vote) reelected for another seven years. With De Gaulle deciding by himself about all major questions, with the mass media in his hands, with a weak and unattractive and separate communist-andsocialist opposition, parliamentary democracy had become a meaningless game. May was going to bring democracy down into the streets. Economy: A Crisis Who could have told that a modem, reasonable· prosperous country with a strong, gold-guaranteed currency, all of a sudden would count ten million workers on strike? But France was also a country with half a million unemployed with very low wages for most workers and high profits for financial capital. For many years the worker's wages had increased much less than the National income. The last blow was an unpopular government decree about Social Security in Summer '67. Io the next months some n~ significant forms of strikes appeared in such tough places as Redon in Bretagne . and Caen in Nonnandy; they were organized without or against the trade-unions' delegates and led to clashes between strikers and police. Universities: Dynamite The universities set the rest on fire. Among their numerous problems: MASS EDUCATION: One knows about it when sitting on the floor 10 lecture-rooms! In 67-68 there were 6,000,000 students in France, 300,000 of them in Paris. CENTRALIZATION AND AUTIIORITARIANISM: The obsolete academic system gave no power of decision whatever to the .people involved (students, faculty, administration) the whole control belonging to the Ministties of National Education and Finance. mmNO REAL DEMOCRATIZATION: Workers children are still being channelled into poorer courses of studies, not only because they lack financial support but also because their environment does not provide them with the cultural basis required by the bourgeois educational system. A LOW "PRODUCTION" OF GRADUATES: The failure rate is unusually high. Many students leave without getting their first degree(li.cence ). • Conflict: Written on Paris vvalls II est interdit d"interdier. Sorbonne Un flic dort en chacuri de nous, ii taut le tuer.

People who work get bored when they don't work. People who don't work never get bored. In France there is a gap between the so-called liberal 19th century university and the technological society of nowadays. Some "modernminded" professors and students were complaining about this lack of contact between univers1t1es and business, while the radicals protested they did not want to become the "watchdogs" of capitalism. Students and Politics Dissatisfaction and un• rest have naturally been growing for years now, kindled by such concerns as the war in Algeria, then in Vietnam, and by echoes coming from campuses all over the world, particularly from Italy (last winter) and Germany (last spring). The students found support in the traditionally left-wing students' and teachers' unions. But action never went beyond the usual utterly inoperativ~ meetings and speeches. Revolutionary groups went further, both by radical criticism of western society and the Communist Party, and by their readiness for serious action. But they kept arguing with each other. That is Why the creation of the "Mouvement du 22 Mars" on the Nanterre campus was such a decisive step. On this brand new, already crowded campus of 11,000 • Arts students--located a few miles west of Paris--Daniel _, Cohn-Bendit, 23, a student in Sociology, succeeded in • uniting for action, members of separate rival groups: anarchists, trotskyists, maoists. On March 22nd, 1968 when a few militants were arrested after a pro-Vietnam demonstration in Paris, 142 students occupied the Nanterre Administration Building. And what happened? In the night the comrades were set free, and the. righi to political expression on , campus eventually was granted to the students. "CE N 'EST QU'UN DEBUT" "It's only a beginning" became a famous slogan in May and June. But Nanterre was really the beginning though nobody knew it. It was a rehearsal of what May would bring on a much larger scale. You'll find the newest, loveliest,most modern diamond ring styles The bafficade closes the street but opens the way.

Larson accepted her nomination from the School of Nursing as a University Schools repres_entative.

To leave this union would be completely against our interests. CUS is a voice in Ottawa and Queen•s Parl<. What it says is determined by the student leaders of it's member universities. If you believe Canadian university education is perfect, then you probably don't need CUS. If you believe democracy is unworkable, then you probably don't need CUS. But if you believe students should maintain communication with the federal and provincial governments, then you, as a student need CUS. CUS is especially important to a university such as Lakehead. We are geographically isolated. CUS keeps communication I ines to other universities open. To shut ourselves off from the rest of Canadian students would be against our own interests, against the interests of Canadian students in general and against the interests of society as a whole. Vote to stay in CUS. ......, :::: :;; Coldness Dear Sir, The students at this University are very , fastidious and impugn. Do you people smile? Do you people dislike people who come from another environment? Well, you treat them like dogs in a nonchalant way. Where is the warmness for the new students on campus? A nice smile from time to time would help a new student feel at home. Throughout my own travels people al ways presented me with a warm welcome of friend• liness and respect. This is not asking too much. Is it? Even, if you were from another part of town; they didn't mark you for it. Every country, town, city, and community has problems. We all know the problems at hand. So in the very near future act yourselves and give a person a break. By doing this, things could become very sweet on campus throughout the year. -The Outsiders. Road a cowpath, Dear Sir: I am writing this letter to express student feelings on the road leading to the student parking lot and the organization of the parking lot itself. It is the shits! If you think this is crude take a look at the cow path they call a road. Are these deplorable conditions really necessary? What is being done to better the situation? Maybe the parking lot attendants, or better still the people in charge, could be organized into a road crew. Of course if their talent as traffic directors is any indication we might end up with a road that is worse than the present one. Now let's take a long look at the parking lot itself. Last year students were assigned numbered parking spots. Not so this year. You have to spend hours looking for a place to park. We didn't spend money on a parking ticket to play a hide-and-seek game. Are there more stickers than there are parking spots? Are there people using the lot that do not have stickers? Let's have some improved road conditions and some parking lot organization.

On the evening of Octobet 9, 1968, four students, three with night classes - and one 1ate working photo~rapher were made to stand in the pouring rain from 10:00 p.m. un-til 11 :55 p.m. for a bus to take them to the St. Paul street station. If we were dealing solely with the disorganization of the Public Utilities OG>m• mission, which has more or less become a way of life in the Lakehead, it would not be so annoying, but when we, the students, are under die impression that there has been a committee set up on campus whose sole purpose is to remedy this type of situation, it becomes somewhat disconcerting. Just what exactly is this proposed committee doing? I think it should be known that those of us who are standing out in the rain, while this committee apparently does nothing, are getting a little pissed off! Paul Lummiss Student loans discriminate Dear Sir: Does tht! Argus not ca,re that our Ontario Student Loans Scheme discriminates against anyone outifi-de of very basic categories? Or for that matter, do any of the students have any concern unless they are grasping the short end of the stick? don't you devote some time to this crucial is~ue? Not Every person at this University must know at least a handful of people who •have been forced to alter academic plans because of insufficient funds. Mr. Robert MacLeod's letter to the editor in last week's ARGUS seriously insulted those adult students who are not yet dead. The concept of good guys against bad guys obviously results from a lack of involvement or interest in the affairs of thi~ university. But then, from other comments in his letter, we should'nt be surprised at this! I fail to understand how anyone could possibly feel "taller and nobler" for taking part in an anti• Johnson, Vietnamese war demonstration when he admits to having gone from simple boredom! Mr. MacLeod is not unique in having worked for years for a meagre salary and it is significant that some of One student in much the same position is washing dishes at night. A student who was in-dependent in high school cannot get a student loan because he doesn't "fit in" to the plan. They are but a few of the many in the same preclicament. What concern is this of mine? I have a good loan and I fit into the scheme, and perhaps you do too. Is it worth a demonstration, or for that matter, even a side comment over your everpresent card game? What about you Argus? Why interested? -Concerned. Room at the top up in the clouds us have come out of that dehumanizing experience as human beings! Rest assured students, that not everyone over twenty-one has lost all interest in and feeling for his fellow men. Not all of us worship that silly piece of paper, known as a B.A. Although I lack the anarchistic tendencies cri tici • zed in this letter, I would still defend the radical reformers who are lumped together as "nuts." I wonder if Mr. MacLeod has ever read the much over-rated Magna Carta. It is reasonably safe to assume that his ancestors were peasants, as were mine, so what the hell did it do for them? -Linda Montgomery, Arts I. �argus, october 17, 1968, page 5 Young socialists at L.U. Different' approach needed by Winston Rennie Students crowd around Young Socialist literary table. -photo &y Lwnmiss Y()ung Socialist Leagu_e Hoards of students milled around the cafeteria doors to hear three representatives of the Young Socialist League last week. The group was returning from a survey of radical thought, action and organization on university campuses. Approximately 450 Lakehead students• attended their film about Che Guevara. There were mixed reactions. Editor of their publication The Young Socialist Forum, Jacquie Henderson, explained some of the objectives of the Y.S.L. tour. She said there is a tendancy for most radicals to act spontaneously in confronting the Establishment without long range goals or to sit and 4iscuss theory without any action whatsoever. She feels that the two must be integrated to facilitate effectual action. Y. S. L. supports the recent swing of both W.U.S. and C.U.S. towards the left. They strongly support the idea of participatory democracy and therefore believe students are alienated from CUS because the students cannot directly elect their representatives. In regards to the Company of Young Canadians, Miss Henderson stated "It seems to us that an 01;ganization that is sponsored by the Trudeau Government cannot change the basic system that government represents."

Name________ ______________________________ _ Address ._ -City _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Zone _________ Province, _ _ _ __ University faculty ___________ Year of Graduatio,~ - - - - Time, place and numbers in attendence resembled corresponding features of the last A.M.S. general meeting so much that I feared the outcome. "Eager" is the only word to describe die general ·mood of students as they filed into the U.C. theatre. Some of us were prepar~d to cut classes to be present. Maybe we expected too much. And why not? This was the Young Socialists organization, travelling throughout Canada bringing the word of salvation to students. They had come to show us what part we can play in saving our society and peoples of the 'third world' from the unbearable yoke of Imperialism and Capitalism. There was a film show. A show depicting Che Guevera, the hero of revolutionary socialism, delivering one of his pieces of magnificent oratory, that moved the people of Cuba and Latin America to the core of their lives. The audience remained unmoved. The film obviously failed on two scores. It lacked visual impact; which is a sad thing to say about any movie. Further, to its verbal content most of the students were impartial. It simply outlined the basic principles of socialism •· what the socialist today is fighting for •• who and what they are fighting. This was more or less the whole tone of the lecture that followed. Che Guevara John Ledgennan started off by asking and answering what he tenned the usual question from the audience: "What's so great about Che Guevara?" He said that Che was held in esteem as a symbol of the cause •· of what can be achieved for a people by revolution. Che fought for _this cause; and dedicated his life to it until he was "murdered" in Bolivia. He went on to outline to students that their fight for student power must not be limited to the campus: they should direct themselves to the wider problems that affect the society in which they live. Identification should be made with the struggle of the working class, he explained. Then there was a question and discussion time. Students walked out. The few that remained came up with questions that served to disorganize everyone's mind. The Young Socialists stumbled, fell mto trc.ps and contradicted themselves. One question was • "How do you get money to pay for your trips and literature?" Groans from the audience accompanied the answer -· "We do not get it from the C.I.A. or anything like that; we get it from our supporters •· you and the others who support our cause. That is why we want to ask you now to donate what you can to help us go on with our tour". The ashtrays started going around and I had the serious fear that somewhere along the line someone would just pocket the damn things. Not Convincing If the Young Socialists would stop for a while and assess the type of student they are most likely to meet on campuses throughout Canada, their method of approach would be entirely different. The average Canadian student grows up and lives in a society where "leftist" literature is not censored to a great extent. (The roots of Capitalism are too deep seated to have any serious and immediate fears). Living easily and holding on to the frivolities of life - (TV's and cars) have become part of his person. It would be foolish to expect him to readily accept the principles of Socialism or to see how they could possibly benefit him. To effectively explain the benefits of socialism to such a group, the Young Socialists need a different approach. At present they are far from convincing. The meeting ended on the most pathetic note I have ever heard. "If there's no class in here now, won't you stay and talk with us ... please."

Fort WiUiam Port Arthur 623-7441 344-2428 �::-- argus, october 17, 1968, page 6 The women of The Fox without doubt involved in liomosexual practices. They felt, discussed and gratified their mutual attraction. But were they homosexuals? The answer is no. Their kissing each other had very little (if anything at all) to do with sex. The only use of their genitals was as a means of communicating with each other. I believe that this is true in most perversions. Other authors have noted that all forms of emotional and behavioural disturbances involve a breakdown in (effective) communication. A similar argument was implicitly presented in the Argus last year when I said that in rape, the genitals are used as weapons. It seems that in true rape the genitals of the male are used as an instrument for expressing hostility towards the female. By true tape, I do not necessarily mean what the court calls rape. This is analogous to the dynamics of prostitu- by Olsen Stephen Belle Every now and then a stimulating movie is shown at the local cinema, as a reassurance that this community is in some indirect ways in touch with the Twentieth century. The Fox is such a film. Its beauty and depth are immense • even though it is not three hours long, and the dialogue is minimal. The film is very well edited, excepting possibly towards the end; it is equally eloquent whether there was speech or silence. The literary and psychological images of the film were fascinating. The fusion of fox and man and the impact of this on the two women, as well as the women's reaction to their sexual experiences, deserve special attention. Jill described her sexual experience ,ts if it were rape, and yet it was the man who became part of her (ieft his imprint on her body). Ellen , on the other hand, felt as if it were ..,he who had become part of the man. Another way of looking at this would be to say that J ill was uncapable of sexual surrender because her self-image remained dominant even in her relationship with her lover. Ellen, however, was willing to surrender, but lacked a man. Though I appreciate the film primarily as .1 work of art, I will attempt to discuss the two women of the fox, using a psychological frame of reference; and to make a few relevant comments on instinctual and adaptational approaches to the explanation and correction of abnormal behaviour - in this case psuedohomosexuality. , A note on theory First let us consider instinctual and adaptational approaches. The instinctual theory of human behaviour was developed by Sigmund Freud. In his classical paper on the .Schreber case, Freud ( 1948) introduced his theory of constitutional bisexuality. Freud saw man as innately bisexual. Socialization was, as it were, the enemy of the instincts, and enabled man to develop control over his forbidden desires (forbidden to Freud and Victorians). Conscience was the internalization of social restrictions and could keep a watchful eye on even the thoughts of the individual. Thus for Freud, civilization increased discontents. This model may have been adequate if the whole world were Victorian. However, around the 1920' s evidence from cultural anthropology began to put some loopholes in Freudian theory. At about this time, the cultural interpersonal school of psychoanalysis began to emerge. Among other things, anthropologists began to find evidence of sexual inadequacy among primitive people. What I am leading to is a contradiction of the argument of instinctual theorists, that the only explanation of homosexuality is that there is a homosexual instinct seeking gratification. Again Freud's ideas were based on the Victorian model that there was a war on between desires and conscience. Homosexuality is known to exist in all societies, so we must look for complementary explanations, to account for homosexual practices in situations and cultures where there are minimal conflicts about sex. Freud's theories are still important as a vantage point. But, in evaluating his ideas we must be careful not to overlook the negative impact of Victorian ideas on Freud's thinking. Despite popular belief, Freud himself was quite puritanical. Adaptational theorists (like Ovesey 1964) attempt to explain homosexuality as a failure in social adaptation without recourse to a sexual instinct. Ovesey regarded psuedohomosexuality as fulfilling power and dependency motives. The power motive involves competitive transference in which the sibling rivalry is reproduced. The dependency motive is the seeking of magical solutions to the failures in assertion. The magical solution may be via surrender as in the passive homosexual role in which the weaker (or passive) person symbolically incorporates the power of the stronger person. What does this have to do with Jill and Ellen? What is meant by describing Jill and Ellen as pseudo-homosexuals? They were . , tion, which, in many cases is a manifestation of the woman's hostility for the man. We are not considering why the rapist hates women, or the prostitute, men; or why Jill and Ellen were physically intimate. This is a problem for the orthodox determinist. We will attempt to describe the women of the fox as they were, and look at the consequences of their behaviour, and its implications for corrective measures. Jill and Ellen ' Though Jill and Ellen performed homosexual acts, these acts had different meanings for the two women. Jill's homosexual acts were another expression of her neuroticism. Ellen was neither neurotic nor perverted. Her anxiety was exis"tential. Ellen's homosexual behaviour was . transient and filled the void created by by the absence of a man. This was an adapt· ational phenomenon that could be described as psuedo-homosexuality. Ellen had a similar fascination for both the fox and the man and was very appreciative of their masculinity, even though she was not unmindful of their potential danger. Early in the film, she was reading of the aesthetic qualities of the fox, even if it was devouring her chickens. Furthermore, when she came face to face with the fox , she couldn't kill it even though she had been pursuing it with a gun. She realized in that magnificent confrontation that she didn't hate the fox enough to kill it. Her dislike of .the fox (and the man) was superficial," and was part of the .mechanisms she used to adopt to the problems posed by both creatures. How else could she allow herself to feel about an animal that was eating her chickens?· How could she have had even the semblance of personal comfort had she nourished the longing for a man when there was none around? (Studies and anecdotes on sensay and perceptual deprivation and isolation document the role of delusions and hallucinations in compensating for reduction or disorganization of sensory input). The entirety of Ellen's homosexual behaviour could be construed in adaptational terms. This includes her narcissm (admiring her reflections and masturbating); dominance (mothering Jill, and imitating the male by her clothing as well as active sexual role). It is of interest to note that some theorists believe that homosexuality is an outgrowth of narcissm. That is to say, the homosexual's love for someone of the same sex is an exten• sion of his love for himself. Another comment in passing has to do with the mother-image concept. Ellen displaced (or satisfied) her maternal drive by mothering Jill, another human being. Meanwhile Jill mothered animals. Therefore, Ellen did not really renounce her wish to be a woman and mother, and her behaviour cannot reasonably be related to penis envy in the Freudian sense. If she wanted a penis she did not want to possess and use it as if she were a man. She wished instead to be seduced by it. (One of these days, I would elaborate on this point in a publication on the neurotic characteristics of women who tease. These are the women who manifest penis envy in the instinctual sense, because teasing symbolizes a woman's attempt to control a man's penis as if it were her own, by determining when it would rise and fall). I said earlier that Jill's psuedo-homosexuality was rooted in neuroticism. What does this mean? It means that her submissions to Ellen and to her lover, were manifestations of unconscious conflicts. Jill viewed sexual intercourse as something another person did to her, despite the fact that she was not really raped. But she had to do this so that she wouldn't be overwhelmed by her excessive guilt feelings. She ascribed her own sexual desires to the other person and despised her desires in the other person. Yet, it was evident that these desires belonged to Jill. This is the defense of projection~ From the beginning, Jill was reacting hysterically to almost every situation. She had an intense hatred of the fox and transferred this to the man. Since there was ample evidence that her fears were irrational, I will not develop this point. Jill was neurotically dependent on Ellen. When the marriage was announced, Jill was not so much afraid of losing Ellen as a sexual companion, as she was afraid of losing the emotional and psychological support that Ellen provided. Jill needed Ellen to confirm her impressions of reality and and to support her decisions. For example, it was obvious that Jill wanted the man to stciy but it was not until Ellen consented that Jill gave the impression of being sure that she wanted him to stay. But she didn't really want him to stay. And this is the neurotic paradox. She was suspicious of him; she was afraid of him; she hated him. Yet when he arrived, she showed more warmth than Ellen did. This is an example of the basic conflict in neuroticism • the intense love and hate for the same person. Jill wanted to submit to the man to satisfy her neurotic dependency but it would have been a vicarious satisfaction from the pain ofi being "abused" by a man. It would have had an exhibitionistic motive, in that she could say after, "these are my wounds • these are the pain of love." It would have been submission in the service of her own desires because Jill had either repressed or rejected her femininity. She satisfied her maternal cont'd page 10 , �.argus, october 17. 1968, On the Port ,Arthur jail I I II I .t \ t I ~: l' . ! l, ' I I I I !

His heavy boots come down hard and the noise echoes through the corridors. He tells me to .. wait here.. and walks through a door, glancing over his shoulder to be sure I haven't started a desperate escape al ready. The anteroom has an institution al aura much like that of the principal's office of a century-old school with its dried and scratched furniture. Bars on all the windows divide the view into six inch vertical sections and the noise of the street comes through. The rain pelts down on the window si 11, tossing smal I misty droplets on the worn brown linoleum floor. A large desk, the kind with a slantinghinged top, hides part of the inside wall. An old scratched telephone and the Lakehead phone book· sits on top of a desk in the corner. I should use the phone now but 1•11 wait till the cop gets back from the front office. A large room off to one side with a barred door catches my eye. Must be the .. drunk tank .. ; sure hope I don't go in there. WQnder if they'll put me in a cell, not likely, should get straightened out right away and go home, likely cost me a few bucks. The cop comes back with the big boss-cop who asks me some questions. and I tel I them I don't know why the ticket didn't get paid. Big boss tries to cal I the Justice of the Peace to set bai I but he's not at home. I cal I my brother and the next thing he's asking me to empty my pockets. ..Heyl You're not going to lock me in a cell, are you? .. .. Sorry son, ·1 •ve got to.•• Good chri st 1•m really going to jai I. The door creaks shut and I'm on the other side looking at the cop. He tells me he'll be back in twenty minutes to let me cal I the J.P. again. I ask him if he's going for lunch but he just smiles and walks away . My eel is cold grey and I just sit down on the bed against -the wal I. A dirty sheet covers the stained mattress. There is nothing in the cell save myself and the bed. The paint looks fresh but dabs and names left by earlier occupants go back to '64. There are dozens of names, dates and criticisms scratched by others on the wrong side of the law. ..Big May.. , ..Babe .. , ..John .. , .. I love Peter.. , .. Cops are pricks.. , etc. The ashes from snuffed out cigarettes mar the wall. The floor is covered in butts and used matches. A pool of urine and saliva spattered on the far wall adds to the inhuman atmosphere. For ao hour I sit on my bed or pace the floor, wondering why I'm here, thinking about my girl and wanting to get the hell out. ..Where is that cop, he's I ate as hell, probably gone home the sonofabitch ... Forover half an hour no one comes by my door. then two cops bring in a middle-aged Indian woman. She looks scared as hell and doesn't say a word: I wonder what she did? I cart hear them talking and one says ..ugh, she done it". They leave with her and once again it is quiet. T.he noise of the Friday night traffic comes through the hall wind:>w and I really feel desperate about' going home. Sounds from the hall interupt my soul searching and I go to the bars to see who else has run afoul of the I aw. A young chap who looks really pissed off is led in, followed by a homely looking girl in her late teens or early twenties. She paused at my bars, looks in and says .. aah .. in a tone that . would imply pity. But they disappear into the front office and I wonder if the girl was really sympathetic or just mocking me like each passing policeman. Voices from the corridor bring news of another arri va I, and from the conversation it sounds like one of the regular drunks. Two cops walk by leadin a sta gerin old man. They stop in the anteroom to empty his pockets and sign him in. .. What are you taking my belt for? .. asks the drunk. ..So you don't commit suicide, ha, ha, ha,•• says the cop. .. Are you going to put me in there? .. ..Yep, that's right, been in there before, haven't you? .. .. What are you locking me up for? .. pleads the drunk . .. Drunk and disorderly and refusing to fight,•• says the cop and I aughs some more. The drunk tank door opens and the noise of metal mechanisms echoes through the jai I. The cops march out and the drunk yells and shouts and 1•m all alone again. What a place, I think, Jesus they really are pi gs, God I have to piss. A cop walks by and I ask him to let me out to go to the John. He says .. sure .. and walks away . You prick, you son of a bitch. I just have to leak, why are you doing this to me? Another cop won't let me out and says I can't cal I the Justice of the Peace. He walks away and leaves me squirming with pounding kidneys. Another hour, maybe two, passes·by and finally they let me out. I go into the drunk tank and urinate in one of the toilets which sit in the open for all to see. Finally I am allowed to call the J.P. and he says 1•11 be able to go in half an hour. I return to my cell.

Michel Lacroix ,,, " 1, �argus, october 17, 1968, page 10 a The women of the Fox cont'd drives in her relation with animals, and perceived herself as a victim (in the Victorian sense) rather than a woman. Jill's conflicts (or disatisfactions) were not so much with anything that existed in reality. as they were due to discrepancies that existed within her own self. Her behaviour, including her psuedo-homosexuality, were expressions of neurotic conflicts. But Jill was not a true homosexual. Making love to Jill, and her flirtations with the men, had more to do with neuroticism than sex. And this is exactly why I support the adaptational view (which is a modification to Freudian theory) that pseudohomosexuality may have little to do with sex, and that it can be explained without recourse to a sexual instinct. This does not, however, deny the biological basis of the sex drive (instinct is a mistranstation ). A comment on treatment Being a practical person, I detest discussing anything without concluding with some remarks about the next step. Those who saw the film know the ending. Jill was the victim of a "symbolic" suicide; (and possibly murder), and Ellen went off to live supposedly happily after. And this presents an interesting contrast. The presence of a man intensified Jill's conflicts to the point where she felt that death was the only answer. However, the same man was the solution to Ellen's problems. This raises the unusual question being fonnulated in a paper on psychotherapy and seduction. Evidently, Jill needed a therapist, but Ellen needed a man. The seduction of Jill or the analysis of Ellen would probably have accentuated their problems. Many therapists are observing the decline in classical symptoms among present-day patients. This may be because the causes of human problems are changing. North America has· not yet recovered from the loss of men in World War II. A~d the loss of men from society is probably the biggest problem with which we are faced. In a forthcoming paper (on Masculinity and War.. Corective Psyciatrr,) I made the beginning of an attempt to relate many of our social problems like delinquency, perversions, and so forth to the absence of men from society, an< the impotence of those who remain. This ii consistent with an adaptational approach, anc is relevant to the problems of women like Elle11 as well as many of the women whose mate! expent their energies in war, civil-strife, delinquency and the acquisition of wealtl Unfortunately, a lot of women are trying tc solve the problem by emanicipating in th, image of the male or becoming men themselves. They do not realize that women are neither better nor worse than men • they are differen1 from men. The women of the fox present an interestin~ contrast in personality of two people whost reactions to frustration are overtly similar. References Freud, S.(1948).

Phone 344-3648. �argus. october 17, 1968, page 12 The Indian and the Just Society by Fred Kelly Gross ignorance is 144 civil servants of the Department oflndian Affairs discussing Indians. In fact, the past two weeks which have brought the North American native to the Canadian public scene can be described in terms of disillusionment, distrust, enigma, and general chaos. As part of the annual Indian conference circuit which commences around September, the Ontario division of the Indian-Eskimo Association held a conference in London, Ontario on September 20-23. The LE.A. is a national body, designed ten years ago to investigate native grievances and to provide a forum where Indians and Eskimos could air their views. Jean Cretien, Minister of the Department of Indian Affairs, made a pertinent point while discussing the similarities between the French and Indian minorities: "For too long, we let others make our decisions, nor were we allowed to make them, which was wrong, ...... " Foe us On Armstrong So what might have otherwise been just a mere recurrence of a mundane repertoire of nice resolutions and repetition of the lexicon of bedraggled banquet cliches, exploded into national news. In a prepared speech written by the Lakehead chapter of IEA and backed by documentary evidence of the Company of Young Canadians (CYC), Mrs. Yvonne McRae, an Oneida living at Fort William, exposed police brutality, discrimination, exploitation and the general impoverished conditions under which N. W. Ontario Indians live. The focus this time was on Armstrong. Armstrong immediately became the most publicized town in Canada and was rampant with news people. The exception of course were the Lakehead representatives who appeared apathetic enough to echo news reports from Toronto and Ottawa. Then, th~ usual political game began with every party suddenly concerned, not so much with solutions but rather as to how the situation could be exploited. This set of events gained momentum in Toronto (September 27-29) where the national IEA was holding · its national conference. Robert Andras, Minister Without Portfolio, FOLK SPECTACULAR '68 ) was the guest speaker of the main banquet. Mr. Andras' special Cabinet assignment is to develop new policies affecting native peoples and to consult them on proposed amendments to the Indian Act (legislation controlling every phase of every status Indian). All delegates gorged themselves and gave thanks to the heavenly deity who was so kind as to provide the assemblage with such good food, during which time the Armstrong Indians and their brothers and sisters across the country, were temporarily forgotten in their hunger and misery. My, what a good living those Indian and Eskimos can be! Control own destiny The lustre and import of Mr. Andras' delivery was scathed by Hector King. Mr. King, Q.N. W.O. delegate, made a vehement presentation. The newly appointed President of IEA, A.H. Wait, would at first not recognize the President of the Armstrong Indian Association, but conceded under pressure. In a statement prepared and written by CYC officials of Northwestern Ontario, Mr. King militantly declared it was time for the Indian to have control over his destiny. The personality and attitude of the new president of IEA triggered a split in the organization. Two leaders of large Indian organizations refused to rejoin the following day's deliberations unless the new president was removed. In a closed session, Wait resigned and was replaced by Omer Peters, President of the Union . of Ontario Indians. As the news media was in hot pursuit of this apparent split, Mr. Peters issued a statement to the effect that there were in the country red power advocates who were instigating and teaching race riot tactics. The statement had no documentary evidence and was obviously designed to send the news media on the proverbial wild goose-chase, thus relieving the IEA of pressure.

OCTOBER 24th - 25th - 26th LAKEHEAD UNIVERSITY FIELDHOUSE .TICKETS FOR LU STUDENTS $1 50 available at Arts office - get yours immediately On Sunday, September 30, Mr. Andras announced with indignation that he had not been consulted on the reorganization of the Department of Indian Af(airs and knew nothing of it. The fact that Indians are not consulted in matters of this sort is common practice; but that it would publicly infuriate a Cabinet member assigned to seek out what the native people want is of great interest. Andras climbed out on a limb to criticize the action of his senior colleague. The Minister Without Portfolio seemed sincere enough in his denunciations at the time. In answer to Robert Stanfield's question in the Commons, regarding the Indians' expressed anxiety about the government's failure to consult them, Prime Minister Trudeau replied: "because it was a matter of internal reorganization, we did not feel it was necessary to advise the Indians in advance of the day that it ·was going to happen.'' One of Cretien' s spokesmen echoed "We didn't consult them, because it doesn't really affect them." Another amplification of the indignant regard which the Dept. of Indian Affairs seems to have for natives came loudly from another unidentified spokesman. "The Indians don't have to consult us when they change their internal organization." But in fact, the only organization which the Department recognizes is its own tortoise-like bureaucracy in which the Indian has no say. In brief, it seemed like Andras was really infuriated, the Trudeau cabinet was split, and again the Indian was betrayed. On October 1, Trudeau clarified that Crieten, and not Andras, was responsible for the Department in question, clearly admonishing Andras. One can clearly recall Trudeau's statement during the summer past that if the Ministers wished to stay they must keep their differences to themselves. Thus, Andras' knuckles bruised from being rapped and Cabinet solidarity having been fused, he fell into political step. He later agreed that some consultation had taken place and said that the changes would be conducive to more effective and efficient service. "If I did not think so, I would resign my portfolio." Now that the misty veils of publicity and inner politicking are subsiding, what about the Armstong Indians? What about the Canadian Natives? Will they be members of Trudeau's "just society"? Or will they be "just a _ forgotten society"? � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Payments will be made to the Chief of Security and cars will be tagged by parking attendants. "Actually I'm not sure whether the money will go to the administration or to the students. That's one of the things we'll have to work out," said Bob Gibson, member of the committee. McCormack has recommended the offences include: (1) parking in a reserved space. (2) parking in a prohibited area. (3) improper parking. (4) parking in visitors lot. (5) parking outside the fence at the bookstore. • All university vehicles must have cl sticker to be allowed through the main gate. ''The mechanics of the procedure will be outlined and AMS Judicial Committee," said Mr. McCormack.

A number of councillors challenged Mr. Law's conclusion, drawing attention to the large number of students who expressed dissatisfaction with the p~esent hourly service. Bob Gibson, University Schools Councillor, commended Mr. Law for the report on the questionaire and also informed council that "a number of aldermen for Port Arthur are willing to take up the cause. Maybe instead of going back to the P .U.C., we can try going through a couple of aldermen." "I am against students collecting fines for the administration." Another councillor, Fred Poulter, said "I think that if tht: AMS votes for this there is something wrong. The students are getting sucked in. I don't think the Judicial Commi'ttee· should have to be bothered with fines. They have enough to do as it is." Mr. Poulter also pointed out '!As it turned out, the parking committee consisted of two students who don't drive cars,. and three administrators who have reserved spots." The only available space to park without a sticker will be at the field house. Mr. McCormack said "There is ample space for cars at the Athletic Building and the walkway_ to the University Centre 1s now completed; it takes four and a half minutes to cover the distance." The recommendation will be voted on by the Council; "The AMS will assume the responsibility of imposing and collecting fines beginning on Thurs. October 24," said Peter McCormack.

They expect to sell books cheaper because the co-operative is a nonprofit organization and staff will be largely unpaid. One member of the steering committee, Graeme Taylor, ran the co-operative bookstore for Carlton University. "Commercial booksellers have found it unprofitable in the past to carry quality reading and now it's impossible to get them here at reasonable prices." said Jorma Halonen, voluniary manager of the store. .. But we feel the University market plus Lakehead's ethnic and labor demand, will give us a sound financial footing. This thing could have been started 20 or 30 years ago."

The new law will only cover LSD, DMT, DET and STP at first, but marijuana will be added shortly after the bill comes through parliam~nt. It is expected to pass by Christmas. The new bill will create a restricted drug category under the Food and Drug Act and give the Crown two distinctly different ways of prosecuting offenders. One way, summary conviction, will be very easy on the offender; but the other way, indictment, will be very harsh. Under Summary conviction, first offence for possession will carry a maximum fine of $1,000 or imprisonment for six months, or bo~h. • Su~sequent summary convictions will be punishable by a· maximum fine of $2,000 or imprisonment for one year, ·or both. Trafficking, and pos.session for the purpose of trafficking, will carry the same maximum penalty of 18 months. • But the criminal record will only be local. It will not be registered with the RCMP in Ottawa. And since most local police forces do not take fingerprints in suminary conviction cases, the victim's prints will not be on file.

But their anger is misdirected. They are angry at other students who park without stickers. This attitude will get students nowhere. For the problem is not with students. Students don't control parking. The Administration does. The Administration's mismanagement of the parking lots has caused the present mess, and student anger should be directed at this mismanagement -- not other students. At present students are actually PAYING to make SURE they have trouble finding a place to park. Students pay 60% of the six attendants' wages. The attendants are usually in front of faculty and administration lots, protecting the empty, reserved spaces. Individual professors and administrators pay nothing for this protection. What can students do? Soon they may be fined by the AMS for parking without stickers. (The Administration has persuaded AMS President Peter McCormack to propose this "solution"). This means our student government would be acting as a police force for the Administration. Soon most students would buy stickers if this was done. But there sti 11 wouldn't be any more room to park. and the AMS Judicial Court would be so clogged with parking violations they wouldn't have time for anything else. Again, what can students do? They have no control over parking but must pol ice themselves? No\ Students must demand equal parking rights. The only way to assure enough space is to end reserved parking for the Faculty and Administration until a larger parking area can be provided. letters to the editor Withdravval attempt is •·selling out•• Dear Sir: In a Priority of the 32nd Canadian Union of Students Congress held at the University of Guelph from Aug. 28 to Sept. 4, 1968 the Canadian Union of Students recognized that: "these arrests and trials (of students, writers and academics in the Soviet Soviet action against the people of the Ukraine.

Cooch's participation in sports has understandably lessened his free time and he may feel inclined to spend the little he has left on something that will stimulate a response, (like academics? 11 !). It is obvious that his reporting career has failed to get a response and, to my way of thinking, the student has let Larry down. Larry is not the only member (ex-member) of the ARGUS that fits into this category, but the sight of his resignation turned my stomach.

"The elite is the pick of the best, . . . those interested and able to participate,.. said Norma Sheridan, CUS co-ordinator, in a paper presented to council. However, she added "No one should be denied the right to participate.'' Mrs. Sheridan's paper outlined three alternative structures which she said could be applied first to AMS, then to CUS. The first choice was maintenance of the status quo. '"The only excuse for accepting the status quo is laziness, ineptitude and cowardice of CUS and AMS personnel,•• claimed Mrs. Sheridan. - The second alternative was democratization of CUS to be carried out" on three levels, she explained. The first 1evel is to .haye the CUS chairman elected and an annual referendum on CUS. Mrs. Sheridan said this .. is not a solution but a • temporary stop-gap measure.'' The second level would be to give each student the choice of Jommg C.U.S. According to Mrs. -Sheridan, this would lead to a drying up of funds and C.U.S. would dissolve into the third level of democratization. ..Democratization carried to its fullest extent requires decentralization ... The headquarters would become merely a co".ordinating and administrative . system.'' The weakness here would be the "loss of the resoin-ce material of CUS. The purpose of a national ·union is lost," • she pointed out. • • The third alternative is that "Cus· can choose to become •an elitist, vanguardist, leadership organization.'• Mrs. Sheridan · supported this alternative for the AMS. and asked the AMS , to recommend the same f9r CUS. Mrs. Sheridan defines an elitist structure as a .. structure whereby those who are interested and capable participate. .those who are uninterested and incompetent do not participate of their own volition... Under the elitist structure the entire interested group monopolizes the power. Mrs. Sheridan concluded her report "The 'AMS should begin •immediately to revamp its own structure, and then pressure CUS to follow its lead. • A CUS referendum at this · • time is irrelevant, a discussion · of CUS policy as stands enunciated in the resolution book is irrelevant.'' Missi Powell, AMS VicePresident of Academic, and CUS National Council members was the first to challenge Mrs. Sheridan's elitist proposal. She felt that the elitist group does attract the interested but not necessarily the competent. Miss Powell felt that reaction of students to CUS bas_ed on an openly elitist structure would be: "I~tead of voting you off campus, . they will throw you off.'' Missi Powell felt that the basic issue was being "prepared to accept the responsi bility for the power we are demanding... • Council moved into a discussion of witholding CUS fees as disapproval of CUS resolutions. However, it ·was pointed out that such action was tantamount to withdrawing from CUS. A proposal was made to research a new structure for AMS and to present the results 'to the next CUS con• gress to adopt for their own structure. A suggestion was inade to pay the assessment to CUS and ask for a research grant to · the amount of the assessment. A number of councillors objected .to the amount of work required for such a project. The question was also· asked whether council was ready . for the depth of commitment to • the project which a rese;:,rc.h grant would require. ·whether council will act on the discussion· may be decided at Wednesday's regular meeting. ~LKE THE HOME OF THE BRAND 413 VICTORIA AVE.

I see an urgency for getting away from the rigidity of grades, (to go at own speeds) and to follow the spirit of the report, where although pupils still learn fundamentals, they have freedom to move away and follow their own line of interests." Paragraph 144 of the recommendations of the committee states that: -photo by Lummiss· college (a) teacher ·education be conducted within the university. (b) the program be of four years duration leading to the baccalaureate degree and certification. (c) teachers for all levels of schooling be educated within any one university.

On the other hand both could be amalgamated, where the ..college will be part of the University. This has been talked about a bit." He feels that the one year course for teachers is in• sufficient.
