                    <text>State of emergency
declared at Berkeley
by Phil Semas
BERKELEY, Calif.(CUPCPS) •• Despite a relatively
peaceful day Wednesday on the
University of California campus here, governor Ronald
Reagan has declared a state
of emergency at Berkeley.
Reagan said he made the
declaration at the request of
Alameda county sheriff Frank
Madigan and administration
president Charles J. Hitch
in order to make state highway
patrolmen available on a
continuous basis to help
maintain "law and order" on
the campus.
Edwin Meese, Reagan's
executive secretary, said the
number of highway patrolmen
who will be available "is a

Will walk across
N. W. Territories
A disillusioned Vietnam
veteran from Detroit stopped by
the Lakehead last week on his
way to the Northwest Territories, where he plans to walk
671 miles on snowshoes.
"I'm going to put me against
nature and see who win s ,"
commented Tony Lenzini, a
29-year-old veteran who is unalterably opposed to the war.
When asked why he was
undertaking this expedition,
Lenzini replied, "no reason,"
but proceeded to outline some
of the discontent which drove
him to the decision.
"There is a natural instinct
in man to destroy that which
offends him," he commented.
He added that in Vietnam
"I got pleasure from killing
because I was superior."
During his 13 month tour
in Vietnam he was awarded the
Purple Heart and the Distinguished Service Cross "for
killing 63 persons."

Lenzini said about 20% of
the American soldiers are staying in Vietnam "because they
are poor and white. They kill
because the enemy is yellow-or inferior."
He found conditions at home
similar.

''In Detroit, to be superior
is the thing. Money talks."
"What can you do to change
it? Nothing."
"People power we will
never have because we have
created a monster. It's called
bureaucracy."
"I found out that money is
the only thing that cbunts.
You can't do anything without
money."
To illustrate what can be
done with money, Lenzini
pointed to the Vietnam conflict, observing that General
Electric sold materials for
making guns to North Vietnam.
Lenzini said his 671 mile
walk was "not a protest o"F1
any sort."

Christianity, bureaucracy, and Marxism
by Ahti Tolvanen
There is a difference between believing and
living which seems to elude most members in
the large social establishments today • but not
Father Labossiere.
''With increasing numbers, organization
leads to power; two powers with different ideas
leads to a clash." Thus the increase in size
of the traditional university structure hats led to
the phenomenon of Student Power in reaction to
"bureaucratic" power because universities
have always been by nature divided and not
homogenous.
''I think students are frustrated with not
being considered personally but only as contributing to finances and so on. They have a
basic desire for participation." These bureau.
cratic structures, like a machine, ''make humans
feel too much reduced to specific roles; denied
primary relations."
What is the matter with complex organizat·
ions as long as they are rational?
"When society becomes complex", says the
Father,
"relations become
secondary."
Institutions in such societies "are unChristian indirectly by the fact that they are
not civilized enough."

The most serious problem facing mankind
today: "lack of man in fullfilling his potentialities • really that is what sin is."
"We are not using enough rationality in
mastering the physical environment. We are
using science for softening man. Physical
comfort is (just) a part of happiness."
"Intellectual pursuits can lead to a greater
happiness for mankind but the rational approach is never really satisfactory. Finally
we depend on faith."
If so, can there ever be real compatibility
between Marxist and Christian Viewpoints?
"Maybe in part." Communal Christian life
can be very much like socialism. "Not in the
general view of the nature and aim of man.
Compatibility between Marxism and Christianity
is impossible as far as the actual ideology
goes."
Would this also apply to the student movement?
"This seems to be a phenomena of reaction
to powers to build other powers." People form
into groups out of a sense of inadequacy or
fear. "If you're a worker and not in a union,
you're not much • the business men have to

have associations too."
And what is the role of the church?
"The church can renew the appeal that the
individual is something too, that is, to restore
the dignity and brotherhood of mankind."
Are not the tenns in which the Church expresses its mission such as God and Christ
basically contradictory to this purpose·because
they are not human?
"God in the overall Christian viewpoint is
personal, living being. In Christ, God took
human nature to express his concern for man."
At this point Father Labossiere had to
board the plane back to Winnipeg, where he is
an instructor in Sociology at St. Boniface
College.
He was a visitor in Lakehead
Sociology classes Feb. 4 and Feb. 5 speaking
on "Christian Conceptsions of Society and
Related Problems."
Labossier gained his MA in Sociology at,
the University of Montreal after combining the
careers of priest ~d journalist for several
years in Manitoba. He also has Licentiates in
Theology anq Philosophy.

Argus interview while rushing to the airport.

Radicals interrupt Kerr
TORONTO(CUP) •• Wednes•
day night, radicals at the University of Toronto disrupted a
meeting where Clark Kerr,
fonnerly administration president of the University of
California at Berkeley, was
addressing an overflow audience of 50 0 at the Royal
Ontario Museum.
As he went on about the
problems of American universities, 10 members of the
Toronto Student Movement
rushed the stage and enacted a
spontaneous playette about the
arrest of Mario Savio, student
leader of the Berkeley Free
Speech Movement in 1964.
There was a struggle for

the mike while Kerr shouted:
"I can only be impressed by
the extraordinary efforts that
people have made to make me
feel that I've never left
Berkeley." Kerr was administration president at Berkeley
when Savio was arres.ted
during
the crisis there.
As the mike passed around
from hand to hand and the
audience rose shouting at the
TSM people and Kerr, Bissell
finallyqwieted everything down
when he yelled: "We've had
enough fascism for this evening." The TSM people agreed
to allow Kerr 15 minutes
speaking time in exchange for

rebuttal after he finished.
Andy Wernick, a graduate
student, thc:n spoke for the
radicals. He made clear from
the onset that it was not Kerr
personally that he was attacking but rather the system Kerr
represented, the one "being
imposed" on the University of
Toronto.
After talking about the
university as a sector of
society that must resix&gt;nd to
the demands of progressive
forces in that society, Wernick
said peopie like Kerr were
bureaucrats whose function
it was to reduce tension and
conflict.
He called Kerr's
function" counter-insurgency."

The issue is CUS, the date Feb. 19
by Doug Smart
Just what is CUS? And why a referendum
on it?
The Canadian Union of Students is a number
of things - a national voice for the university
students of ,Canada, a service organization for
students, and a resource center for the individual student associations across Canada..
Okay, that is what CUS does, but who is
CUS?
CUS is simply us - a union of university
students, who through our student councils
send delegates to a national congress every
summer to elect a national executive. The
executive in tum hires a support staff which
together with the executive administers CUS
policy.
Let's look more closely at what CUS does.
Just what kind of national voice, what services,
what resources.

National Voice
The Canadian Union of Students is the
national voice - and the only one - for university students in dealings with other organizations such as the Federal government, the
Canadian Association of University Teachers,
the Association of Universities and Colleges,
and national labour organizations.
This is where some of the disagreement
with CUS lies. Some students feel that the
national voice of CUS does not represent them.
These students are generally in disagreement
with some specific CUS policies. However,
the alternative is no national student voice and is that a real alternative?
Because of the Ottawa base of CUS the
national executive can be in contact with the
government regarding such matters as student
loans, housing, employment, problems of
foreign students and grants to universities.
Some question the effectiveness of these contacts. However, the facts seem to indicate
that contact does ex,.ist, and some is better
than none.

Service Organization
One of the functions of the Canadian Union
of Students is to provide services for students.
Two examples of these services are the CUS

Life Plan and the CUS Travel Plan.
. The CUS Life Plan provides low cost life
insurance to students of universities which
belong to CUS. This plan is operated by the
C~n~dian Premier Life Insurance Company of
Winnipeg.
The CUS Travel Plan Charters flights (at
low cost) for Europe and also Asian flights.
The charters are open to all students of univerS1t1es belonging to CUS.
There are a
nu'!lber _o f posters on the travel plan around the
university.
Another service being investigated is the
possibilityofaCar Insurance plan for students.

Resource Center
A major purpose of CUS is to act as a
resource center for the student associations
Regional CUS fieldworkers visit the univer:
sities to provide communication between
campuses and to advise student leaders. Don
Kossick, Prairie fieldworker, has visited Lakehead a number of times during the year.
Another way in which CUS acts as a resource center is by preparation of educational
social and political publications. This ·i~
~other area where there is some disagreement
with CUS. However, a point to remember is
that the~e papers do not necessarily represent
CUS policy as many are prepared as a basis for
discussion and information.
The National Council , which meets four
times a year, is also a resource center in that
it is a means of communicating between campuses. Lakehead has a representative, Missi
Powell on this council.
Now for a brief look at the summer CUS
Congress, specifically the 1968 Congress in
Guelph. This brings us to the question of why
the referendum?
Six delegates from Lakehead reported to
council in September on the CUS Congress.
One in his report asked for a referendum on
Lakehead's membership in CUS.
A number of councillors did not like what
they had hearcl through the public mass media
about the resolutions passed at the Congress.
Others felt the price of $1 per student was too
high. The result was a welcoming of a referendum.
Council then started debating the resolutions
themselves. They accepted the Declaration
of the Canadian Student, but rejected several

resolutions which seemed consistent with this
statement. Four councillors resigned.

Declaration
!he ~sis of the Canadian Union of Students
policy 1s the Declaration of the Canadian Student. This declaration begins "Education is a
contributive social process, the essence of
which is an expanding awareness of man's social
and nat~ral _environment through dialogue and
cooperative mt~lle~tual effort. The principal
goal ?f education 1s to serve society by developing the full potential of all citizens as
free, creative, thinking and acting human beings
and . therefore. to serve society by helping to
achieve equality of the essential conditions of
human living. The student must discover
exa~ine and assimilate the knowledge of hi~
envuonment and must develop the ability to
cope and transform it."
Fr&lt;;&gt;m this declaration, which is printed in
ful~ ~n the lobby of the University Center
Building, the CUS Congress passed resolutions
on The Student in Society, Student Power,
Educational Resolutions, and CUS Structure.
In the section on The Student in Society,
the &lt;;:ongr~ss passed ~esolutions condemning
Amencan mvolvement in the Vietnamese war
condemning the invasion of Czechoslavakia'
supporti1;1g the rights of women, the lowering of
the voting ~ge, legalization of marijuana.
In the section on Student Power, resolutions
dealing with the decision-making process both
at the departmental and Senate levels were
passed. One of the calls was for openness of
all meetings.
In the Education section resolutions were
pa~se~~ealingwith the _University and Society,
S~1ent1f1c Research, Financing of the University, Course Content and Control, and the
Student Outside the Classroom.
Peter McCormack, AMS President, sums up
the CUS issue, "It is imperative that the CUS
referendum be taken seriously. Students should
concern

themselves with the issues.

The

issues are that we need a national student
union to maintain communications between
universities across Canada, and that CUS has
at least a responsibility to stimulate interest
and discussion on social and political change even if we don't particularly agree with the
alternatives that they present on certain
specific issues."

Gude leaves cafeteria job
Bob Gude has left.
After 2½ years as cafeteria
manager at Lakehead, Gude has
decided to seek another position.
Versa Foods, who service
both cafeterias at Lakehead,
had decided to transfer Gude to
Toronto.
Gude stated "the
supervisor from Winnipeg was
not happy about how well I
was getting along with the
students. He wanted me to be
more business like."
Gude also felt that some of
the administration were "uptight'' about his personal life.
Gude has helped to make
many of the University's
functions a success by preparing show piece smorgasbords
and dinners. He is presently
employed by the Nor-Shor
Motor Hotel.
"Eventually I will go down
to the Lowry Hotel in St.
Paul in a public relations
position."
When asked if Versa Foods
is serving the University well,
Gude said "I feel that the
University should have an
independent operation.
It
would save a lot of money,"
Gude said he "would like

to thank all students, faculty
and administration for the
great time I have had here."
The AMS gave him a desk set
in appreciation for his help to

students throughout his years
here.
The new cafeteria manager
is Ed Lawrence, who transferred in from Toronto just
after Christmas break.

�elections
A new AMS President will be chosen Feb. 19.
It is important that students take a good look at the
_ candidates, their abilities and policies, and make a decision based on issues, rather than on personalities.
The ARGUS staff has followed activities of both candidates this year, and we feel it necessary and just to take
a stand.
We urge you to vote Dennis Wallace.
Dennis has shown his capabilities as Director of Finance this year. He has proven he can work with people
and function effectively on the AMS Council. He is flexible, willing to listen to other points of view, and as such
will be able to hold the AMS Council together.
On the other hand, Art Looye has demonstrated unwillingness to compromise or to listen to other viewpoints.
He was involved in conflicts which broke up the Judicial
Committee this year. He has illegally chaired AMS meetings, violating the constitution several times. As he says,
his record speaks for itself.
The AMS Council must be built into an effective student
voice. Dennis Wallace is the man to get things going.

Greetings
Your Article "Birth Control:
Not why but how" in the February 6th edition of the ARGUS
was interesting to say the
least, but hardly complete.
It
didn't mention the
technique which is the most
effective, the most reliable,
and the safest, namely the
adding of a chemical to the
drinking water to reduce the
fertility of everyone equally.
This technique is the most
effective because it approaches
the problem of the population
explosion from a collective
point of view, and the population explosion is a collective
problem. Mass birth control is
the only way the population
explosion can be halted. It
can never be oone on a voluntary, personal basis.
Since such a chemical could
be included in soft drinks and

Syd Pettit
''I have never been known
as a shrinking violet.
If
elected my attitude towards
helping my fellow students will
not be diluted through administration pressure. I believe in
getting to the root of the problem without any hesitation
and tackling it to the best of
my ability."

"The AMS as it now exists
is a totally ineffective, incompetent body of people who may
be broken down as follows:
two are sincere individuals,
interested in the representation
and betterment of the student
body; six are what I consider
complete egotists - interested
in furthering their own positions. The other six are just
totally incompetent to handle
any relevant discussions without pussy-footing around and
wondering if the administration
would be angry.
"It will take time and
sine.ere effort on the part of the
new council to rectify these
deplorable conditions which
exist and build a true students'
council."

"I think CUS could be an
effective unit. However, their

''To imagine the existing

a pipe-dream. However, as a

AMS executive

Wallace vs. Looyi
Canada won't solve the count~y's problems, and seceding
from CUS won't solve ours.
We must stay in CUS to make it better.

I

ARGUS: What do you think of the student justice system?
WALLACE: It's easy to make political hay out of this one,
but I think we must look at the problems from a re·sponsible position. The system should be set up to
AVOID trouble, not make it. If our proctors regularly
had to use physical force or press charges for trivial
offences, then we would have failed in our purpose. We
might as ·well use off-duty policemen.
This year, despite the difficulties we've had with the
two judicial committees, the ·system worked fairly well.

Dennis Wallace
ARGUS: Why do you wish to be President of AMS?
WALLACE: I think I can give students a stronger, more
effective AMS.
A great number of people have expressed the desire
to work with me to make AMS a more relevant useful
body next year. I have the support of the executives of
many of the clubs and societies, so I know I can call on
an experienced team to get things done.
I've studiect here for three years and I know the students, I know the faculty, I know the ways and means of
getting things done - and I know I can help to give the
kind of leadership Lakehead needs at this stage. Being
Director of Finance has given me valuable experience in
virtually all fields of AMS activity.

ARGUS: What wi II you do if elected?
WALLACE: As soon as I'm elected, together with the rest
of the executive, we' II work out the priorities for committees. Then when the new councillors take office two
weeks later, the committees will be finalized, staffed,
and we' 11 get down to work.
The corrmittee system lends itself well to solving our
problems. It gets more in-depth work done, gets councillors working on the projects they're interested in, and
cuts down on lengthy debate. If elected I'll make as
much use as I can of the committee system.

ARGUS: What are your political views?
WALLACE: I'm really politically non-aligned. I'm not dogmatic about anything, except, perhaps, the need for
diverse points of view. In a University of all places the
students deserve a look at all kinds of opinions.
Varied speakers should be encouraged to come to
Lakehead. For the rest of our lives we'll never get a
chance for this kind of experience.

ARGUS: What about our membership in the Canadian Union
of Students?
WALLACE: I really think we should stay in CUS. It has
considerable benefits to the student and the University,
and whether we stay in or drop out, it will still continue
to represent and speak for us in the eyes of the public.
Students get wide travel benefits, life insurance, and
discounts on consumer goods. It is an extremely valuable resource base for the AMS - which I promise to use
much more than we have done in the past - and it also
lobbies for better student loans in Ottawa.

e for President
Arthur Looye
ARGUS: Why do you wish to be AMS President?
LOO YE: Basically because I don't think the students are
getting a fair deal. If they are getting a fair deal they
don't know about it.
I can give the leadership and direction the AMS needs.
I will set up a strong chain of command that will really
work. I think we've had a weak executive this year and
I'll change it if I get in.
ARGUS: What wil I you do if elected?
LOOYE: The minute I'm elected I' II start to get the constitution changed. I' II definitely change what the present constitutional COITlllittee has done, but I will use it.
I won't increase the powers of the executive.
I'll make the head of the Proctors responsible to the
Vice-President of Programming - "ght now there's no real
way of dealing with him. This will mean the VicePresident can fire the head of the Proctors.
And we've got to have a committee system working

CUS shouldn't pass resolutions on Vietnam; they
should just present the facts to the students.
ARGUS: What about your ideas on orientation week?
LOOYE: Orientation week has not been satisfactory in
the past. I don't go for this razzing of frosh. We s~ould
have a clean-up week for the two cities. Students would
clean up the streets of Port Arthur and Fort William.
Now it would only work if I could get the second and
third year kids in on it too - if I sold it to them now. But
it would be terrific public relations. It would get the students to know the streets, and they'd get to know each
other.
We've got to have better orientations. If we don't go
for it I think the administration will laugh at us and AMS

Two in race for Arts Society President

Paul Paularinne
Paul Paularinne, presently
Vice-President of the Arts
Society, feels that his two
years in the Arts Society have
taught him what the Presi-

dent's position will entail,
and that he can do a good job
for the students.
Referring to the soc.ial
events for the up-coming year,
Paularinne said, "Too many
things presently take place
and there has got to be a stop
somewhere, not a drastic cut,
but I want to specialize in
certain types of entertainment.
I also want to bring in some
good speakers on academic
matters." The emphasis, he
added, "is on quality, not
quantity."
Concerning student power,
he commented, "As far as I
can see there are things that
must be changed, but I don't
support student revolutions,
as there are other ways of
doing it."
He added, "I definitely
want to do something for the
students and I am interested

in what kind of education
students are getting."
P aularinne said of The
Canadian Union of Students,
"I feel that if CUS is going to
be a repeat of this year, it
will be a definite waste of
money. I'm not against CUS,
but it is going to have to
change some of its political
ideas."
He added, "We are tired of
CUS fieldworkers coming without any warning and expecting
us to cater to them when they
arrive.
There are a lot of
students in the cafeteria, the
people who are paying for this
organization, and these are
the ones who these fieldworkers should be talking to, but
are not...
Paularinne concluded, "My
job will be to give the student
the most I can for his money."

The Arts Society executive is
also considering this plan but
there has been no definite

a confusing election with all
these positions being filled at
one nime.
Remember to mark your
choice on the ballot with an
X, as any other mark spoils
the ballot. Other election procedures require all posters to
be down 24 hours before the

Jesseau, "Arts Society Presidents have been concerned

However, I would like to see a

"I would like to see a wider

"If students and faculty sit
down together they might come
up with something," he said.
He added that he already approached Mr. Lewis, one of the
French professors, and he has
agreed to study any usuable
plan that students may come up
with to teach his courses.
In J esseau' s opinion, "if
things are going to get done, a
lot of people are going to have
to get involved. This is what
I feel is lacking at the present
time." He added, "the faculty
and administration are just as
interested in changing the
system as the students are."
Of the Canadian Union of
Students (CUS) J esseau commented that he could accept it,
but with reservations.
He
added "Some things about CUS
are good and these I could
accept. But I do not want to
have to accept everything in
order to accept a few. From
talking with a lot of students
I feel that the referendum will
be defeated as I get the impression that most of the students at Lakehead University
are not ready to accept it at
the present time . .,
''However, he said, "if the
students vote to stay with
CUS, then I will continue to
work for what the students
want and likewise, no matter
who is elected as AMS P.cesident, I will attempt to work
with him to do my best for

Living in the air
Where young birds fly
High and low sweet of care
In the first trem flow of morning
And so without a warning
How behold is the churning chimney smoke
Oh you rub your eyes and say

And if it's so,
Nature plays it well.
Then the early sparrows
Sing and play
In this early day.

By my open window
Looking at the mist below
The red sun rising
From the clear horizon
Behind the ever trees
And casting, little by little,
A thousand golden coins across
The lake for me.

Looye in the 100 metre backstroke, and the whole team in
the 400 metre relay.
Curtis will represent Lakehead in March at a meet in
Fredericton.
Mrs. Siddall, the team's
coach, said the team did very
well and appeared to have a
strong technique. She felt the
team needed more swimming
time to improve their times.
At present the team practices
twice a week at the Port

and Wednesdays.

Two more victories for L.U. hoopsters
The Nor'Wester cagers won
a double header at Laurentian
last Friday and Saturday.
On Friday the Nor'Westers
won by a margin of 12 points
with a final score of 78-66,
while on Saturday they widen-

ed the margin to a 23 point
stretch with a final score of
84-61.
The Friday night game was
rather sluggish showing for the
Nor'Westers, but it may have
been the result of a long

Residence downs
L.U. track team
The track team ate dust
last weekend when they went
down to defeat at the hands of
Floor A-2 Men's Residence.
The race was a five mile
relay with eleven men running
five laps each. The residence
had ten men and one girl. The
track team picked up a few
recruits and turned out with
seven men.
Running for Floor A-2 was
Mike Charette, Bruno Desilets,
Hugh Cameron, Leo Labelle,
Pat Fung, Denis "cannonball"
Garth Mitchell, Allan Hovi,
Bob Antonyshyn, George Madjitey and Jane Moran.
Don Goodwin, Nick Jackson, ijick Goth, Don Henderson, Ian Stewart, Cedric
Clarke and John Paddington
ran for the track team.
Organizer for , Floor A-2,

Hugh Cameron stated, "Like
true Champions the offer to
race again is open." A possible rematch is anticipated
for after study week.
The residence men train
twice a week, and have been
for three weeks. Next rematch it is' hoped that the
coach for the track team, Don
Domansky, will appear. As
well, it is hoped that organizer for the track team Marnie
Stewart will be on time and
able to run.
The track team will also
enter the indoor meet on Feb.
22 in the field house. They
did very well in the last meet
on December 7. Next month
several members of the team
will be travelling to Winnipeg
to compete in an Inter-Collegiate Meet.

COOCH'S CORNER

tiring train trip. The Lakt:head University squad shot
very well from the field with a
49% average. This was their
best average so far this year.
All 14 players making the
trip saw action. Phil Fury
led the scoring with 25 points,
followed by Dan Carroll, Willie
Jerks, and Wayne Humphreys
with 15, 13, and 12 points
respectively. For the Voyageurs of Laur~ntian, Hill had
17 markers and Gillow came
up with 15.
Saturday evening the Nor'
Westers started slow and were
down six points after the first
eight minutes.
After that
point they picktd up the pace
and moved ahead ten points
by half time. The half time
score was 32-22.
In the second half the Nor'
Westers increased their pace
and came up with 52 points
to 39 for the Voyageurs. The
Nor'Westers shot a fine 48%
average from the field to come
close to tying their new record
from Friday night.
Dan Carroll was the big
gun for Lakehead as he paued

through for 20 points and picked up 29 rebounds. This was
an all-time high for rebounding
in one game by Lakehead Uni-.
versity.
Wayne Humphreys
and Phil Fury each came up
with 19 points while Willie
Jerks hit nine, Rob Cameron
six, Don Holmstrom five, Lloyd
Koskie, Larry Hebert, Dennis
Porttnan two each and Lou
Pero one.
Coach Birger felt that the

play of Cameron was instrumental in the victories when
he showed the hustle that
was needed to get the Nor'
Westers rolling in both encounters.
TheNor'Westershad a small
band of followers in three of
last years graduates:
Les
Brown, Frank Woight, and Bob
Gallinger, who are working at
Sudbury, and attende-' both
games.

Squash team loses
Lakehead's Squash team
put up a poor showing last
weekend, coming last in the
Inter-Collegiate Squash Tournament in Toronto.
Ryerson took first place,
winning 17 of their 20 games.
They were followed by Osgoode with 15 wins and 5
losses, York with 8 wins and
12 losses, and Trent with 6
wins and 14 losses. Lakehead
won 4 of their 20 encounters.
The five members of the
Lakehead team were John
Sihvonen, John Fallis, Glen
Miller, Tom Petrie and Allen

Holt. Sihvonen, Fallis, Miller
and Petrie each won one of
their games.
The top player in the tournament was Mulzer, from Ryerson. He is ranked as number
six in Canada.
Although this was the worst
showing for Lakehead so far,
Coach Bill Shannon wasn't
too disappointed.
''We've
been a power so long that it's
just caught up to us. We
taught them how to play the
game and now they've surpassed us."

To obtain the intercollegiate squash team two weeks ago,
some excellent games were played. In fact Bruce Brymer, one
of the returnees from last year's team was unseated by the excellent play of John Fallis, Tom Petrie and Alan Holt. Veterans
John Sihvonen and Glen Miller completed the five man team

The Lakehead Sportsman's Dinner was good again this year.
The speakers were all top notch. Tom Gorman and Gene
Fullmer were humorous while Ray Nitchske spoke on the strength
of team play and sacrificing for the team. Brian Conacher spoke
on the evils of pro hockey and why he wants to someday again
play for the Canadian Nats. John Friesen C.C. said that it cost
the Canadian taxpayers six times as much to broadcast it as it
did to send our team to the Olympics.

Aid organization of students, Indians

Company of Young Canadians: involved
The Company of Young
Canadians has been criticized
for in vol vemen t with high
• school
students following
the walkout Jan. 24.
The ARGUS recently inter•
viewed Don Colborne, a CYC
volunteer, to determine the
.extent of the CYC's involvement, and the reasons behind
it.
The high-school walkout .
was spontaneous--it was not
organized by anyone, least of
all the CYC. But following the
walkout, several high school

students wanted to discuss the
issues involved and to try to
organize students behind some
definate policy. They had nowwhere to meet, and no facilities
to make their views known, so
they went to the CYC.
"We provided them with a
meeting place, duplicating
facilities, and a minimum of
advice."
said
Colbome.
We weren't the only people
doing this. There were a lot
of other adults more actively
involved than us."

Alma Mater Society:

Nothing Underhanded
Colbome stressed that there
was nothing underhanded about
the
CY C's
involvement.
"People seem to suspect
that the CYC tried to disguise
out involvement. This is not
true. It's just that those involved felt their involvement
wasn't even important enough
to talk about."
Colbome pointed out that
a Times Journal reporter had
attended a meeting of high
school students at the CYC
offices, and had not mentioned
the CYC in his story as it was
not important.
Colborne felt the limited
involvement of the CYC with
the high school students was
completely justified.
"Whenever any group which
does not have facilities for
organization approaches us,
we're obliged under our tenns
of reference to provide what
assistance we can, as long as
it doesn't interfere unduly with
our ongoing projects and if it
doesn't
break the law."
Colborne cited the CYC's
Annual Report as further
justification. The report states:
"Growing numbers of young
people in Canada are dissatisfied with the school system
and with existing institutions.
As a result, some drop out of
school, some flee to Yorkville,
some smoke marijuana, others
start 'free schools'.
The
Company's response is neither
to praise nor condemn these

developments, but to work with
some of these young people in
an attempt to find constructive
ways for them to participate
in society."

Indian Project
Upuntilnow, the Company's
main "ongoing project" has
been an Indian project: "working with Indian people outside
of the Lakehead in Northwestern Ontario."
Colborne said this included
the setting up of a radio
station, Radio Kenomadiwin,
which will soon be a travelling station.
It will serve
Indian communities and re•
serves
in
Northwestern
Ontario.
"Kenomadiwin"
means
"education"
in
Ojibway.

The Company also helps
publish Kenomadiwin News,
an Indian community regional
newspaper.
"Also we have volunteers
working in the fie ld--three in
Red Lake and one in Annstrong,"
Colborne
added.
The CYC will soon begin
a project within the Lakehead
cities "which will concentrate
mainly on the problems of
youth, the unemployed, housing
and urban renewal, and the
economic structure of Northwestern Ontario."
Colborne stressed that the
CYC is designed to help alienated groups who have no
facilities of their own for
communication or organization.
''We have offices here.
Those offices are available for
people to use so long as we
judge thatthey use them well."

SDU on campus
Temporarily using the name
Students for a Democratic University, about 20 dissatisfied
studentsmetin the "snake pit''
last Friday to discuss the
general atmosphere at Lakehead University.
The students showed great
concern over student-administration relationships and the
existing means of student
representation.
Given serious consideration
was the question whether the
S.D. U. could more benefit the

students operating independent
of the AMS or within its structure. The general feeling was
that the AMS as it now functions cannot offer the students
effective representation.
Sub-committees were set up
to do research on issues relevant to the future functioning
of the S.D.U.
Priority was given to the
establishing of a working
policy - a manifesto to set
down the aims of the group.

AMS President resigns
Peter Young

The McGill Daily affair What are the real issues?
by D. John Lynn (Canadian University Press)
MONTREAL (CUP)-Two
weeks ago the McGill Dail(y
reprinted an article from the
satirical Realist magazine
which Principal H. Rocke
Robertson judged to be
"obscene libel."
Three students - Daily
Editor-in-Chief Peter Allnutt,
Supplement Editor Pierre
Fournier, and Supplement
columnist John Fekete, under whose column the article
appeared - were asked to
appear before the senate
discipline committee, facing
possible expulsion.
From this initial action
sleep-ins, violence, arrests,
and total academic upheaval
of the university have resuited.
The issues in the contro-versy are unclear, mainly
because different campus
groups either place one issue above the other, or interpret issues in ,contrary
ways, or mix issues together.
The result is intellectual
chaos.
..OBSCENE "--....
- - ••
The original administration charge of "publishing an
obscene libel" was dropped
after considerable pressure
by campus intellectuals.
The rebuttal was best illustrated by a four-page
tabloid issued Monday, Nov.
6 after Robertson had laid
charges Saturday. The en-

tire front page said simply:
"This paper contains obscene libel." Page two carried the complete Realist
article. Page. three carried
eight lines from Chaucer's
Pardoner's Tale, replete with
four-letter words, and an
exerpt from "A 114odest Proposal" by Jonathan Swift
which reads in part: "A child
will make two dishes at an
entertainment for friends;
and V{hen the family dines
alone, the fore or hind
quarter will make a reasonable dish, and seasoned with
a little pepper or salt win
be very good boiled on the
fourth day, especially in
winter."
Yes. dear reader. Swift
wrote of chllclren being
eaten. lm't it cl.lapdlq? Is
it W.rature? Is the RNUaJ
lllerature?
The same page contained
a definition of obscenity by
John M. Woolsey, U.S. District Judge: "The meaning
of the word 'obscene' as
legally defined by the Court
is: tending to stir the ·sex
impulses or lead . to sexually impure and 1 u s t f u 1
thoughts . . ."
The passage from the
Realist, professors and students agree, cannot be considered an aphrodisiac.

(cont'd page 5)

Statement from Executive
Committee of AMS to the student
body of Lakehead University
We regret the ll'eSignation of
Mr. Peter Young at such a late
date because of the loss of experience. However, we feel that
because of the strong disapproval shown by the student
body concerning Mr. Young's
position as President of the
Alma Mater Society, we can
now progress with our duties
and accomplish the goals we
have laid down.
Mr. Young's acceptance of a
position with a local radio
station •is one which should be
recognized as a step • towards
his post-university career an opportunity that arose at an
unfortunate time for us. Nonetheless, his new position must
be recognized for its merits.
Mr. Young has expressed his
willingness to assist the executive in an advisory capacity in
the future.

Council asks for resignation
President has no alternative
but to resign
The President of the AMS has resigned.
Peter Young stated in a letter to the
Alma Mater Society last Thunclay that he
had no aliemative but to resign hia position
as bead of the 1700 students on campus.
Wednesday night. Council tabled a
motion asking for the President's resignation. the motion to be voted on at emergency
meeting Thursday at noon.
Council was presented with Mr. Young's
resignation when they met Thursday. The
discussion that followed was trying on all
those present. Mixed feelings towards the
wording of the resignation was a major
issue. Mr. Young was not In attendance.

An insult to Council
"Academics are always first in the
minds of any student in office," said Science
President Don Bergman, and this unwritten
rule should stick here also. Unless there is
a personal reason for the resignation, I don't
think in this case it is valid. The idea of
takng another job I woud regard as an
insult to this Council."
''We cannot accept this resignation,"
said Wendy Ticknor. "It is the easy way
out. It does not set an example for those
who will follow. It is the duty of this
Council to stand firm, and to ask for his
resignation. We must think of the future."

Not what asked for
Said Julie Wierzbicki, "The resignation
that we have before us is completely
opposite to what we want. We should ask
for his resignation for the reasons outlined
in the motion, not for his reasons. It looks
like the presidency will not get him ves:Y
far, so it has served its purpose."
"It is unfair that Mr. Young is not here
to defend himself at this meeting," said Don
Cordingly. "But we did give him the
opportunity to appear before us. Still" we
have to discuss this motion and come up
with a solution.

Cannot be used as tool
"Up until now, resignations have been
caused by academic problems - we have
averaged one per week in the last few
weeks. This resignation of his is a gentleman's way out. Peter is going out in glory.
He got our vote of confidence at the first
meeting of the year, and has since· shafted
the Council and the students. We should
go on record as stating that this is no way
to get out of office. We cannot allow it
(the presidency) to be used as a tool for a
person's own tuture."

Admitted has not done job
"It was my suggestion that Peter did
not come to this meeting," said . Vice
President Bill Weiler. "I had hoped that
his resignation would be accepted. I had
hoped that we would not hit upon personalities. He has admitted in a way in his
resignation that he has not done the _job."
''The whole point of asking for the
resignation is to show that we cannot allow
a person to resign on his own will in the

middle of the year," said Dave Parsons.
Chief Proctor Tom MacLeod said "The
first and foremost objective should be to
try to set up a good executive."
Treasurer Don Lees spoke to Council
against the way in which the motion was
worded. Mr. Lees noted that, although a
person may realize that there are certain
responsibilities inherent in the position of
AMS President, it is not until one actually
gets into office that he can see the extent
of the job. Apparently Mr. Young did the
job as he saw it, and did it to the best of
his ability. Unfortunately what he did was
not what the students expected of him.

Talked out of resigning before
Mr. Lees also noted that Mr. Young
had been presented with ultimatums to

a.nd Young's reflections

reform his ways several times in the past
few months by persons who had confidence
in him. They were also concerned for the
situation that would be caused if he did
not improve.
It was further pointed out that the
resignation was not put forth on a conflict
motive. Not was it due to the constant
criticism under which the executive has
been subjected in the past.

Responsibility to self
Mr. Lees pointed to the last. part of
the President's letter for the crux of the
issue. A man must respect himself to be
able to do a good job. Obviously he was
not doing the job as he would have liked
to have done, and he felt that to do justice
to the students and to himself be had to
resign.

When a man with such a responsibility
wants to get out for reasons like these,
he should do so.
This latest resignation from executive
positions leaves only one member of the
executive from last spring's election, Don.. ;.._j
Lees, Treasurer. Vice President Bill. Weiler
was elected in the fall by-election, while
Secretary Joan Stewart was elected by
Council, in accordance with the AMS
Constitution.

Weiler assumes post
Mr. Weiler will assume duties as
President as soon as possible. Council gave
him a vote of confidence at the Thursday
meeting. A Vice President will be elected
by Council at their next meeting.

Reflections from without

The President's chair - can Weiler fill it?
Alma Mater Society
c/o Mr. Bill Weiler
Vice -President
Please forward my official resignation to the Alma
Mater Society Council.

In presenting this resignation to Council, I would
ask that you point out the following clarifications.
My resignation is not coming forth because of a
conflict within the executive nor because I feel that
I cannot work with the Council
Also, I do not wan~ students to feel that I am resigning because of the constant criticism that is directed toward the AMS executive. Constructive criticism is usually justified and although we haven't
seen much of it this year it usually indicates a valuable means for improvement.
It should also be made known that I am not resigning because of the motion brought forth in the
AMSmeetingofNov. 15th. The reason for the delay
in making known my intentions is that I was waiting
to see if a motion pertaining to noon-hour meetings
would be brought forth.
The reason therefore is that I have accepted employment which would make it impossible to attend
meetings on week nights. Because of this employment. Idonot feel that I could devote as much time
to the office of president as is necessary.

I feel that Mr. Weiler can more than adequately
head the Council and the executive for the remaining three months. I also contend that more is accomplished outside of meetings. In this regard I will
continue to work at anything that the executive feels
is important.
I submit this resignation with deep regret but feel
that I have a responsibilityto myself as well as the
students of lakehead University.
Sincerely,
Peter A, Young

In my election platform,
my point was better public
relations for the student
body. I think we have accomplished this.
There are other things
which have been done so
far this year. We have had
caution fees abolished. The
first contact with the faculty
association regarding tutorial
work has been made. We
have token representation
on the Senate and Board of
Governors. We are at present
planning tl\,e symposium on
U n i v e r s i t y government,
something which could easily
be the greatest thing that
has ever happened to this
Universicy-. We held the
fiirst AMS seminar this fall.
And we have caused registration procedure to be revised, subject to student approval.
Socially, I can say that
this year's frosh week and
folk festival were the best
so far. We also have a more
varied programme laid on
than last year.
Our blood donor clinic
should show the Lakehead,
at least in a· minor way, that
we are not just a radical
group in general but responsible citizens.
And we have achieved a
cautious high in relations
between the AMS and the
Administration.
But we haven't yet been
able to make students aware
of student government.
The executive positions
are important enough that

case. This is also why I think

by Peter Young
students going to Congresses,
as told to Chuck Grieve etc., should be those interpeople should be geared for
them. This year three of the
four elected have resigned
since none knew anything
about student government.
They had to learn in six
months what others had
learned in two years.
I also think that the
elections should be run as
they are at Queen's. There
the executive is elected by
the previous year's Council.
T)lere is more certainty of
getting a good executive this
way.
I •am in the process of
re-organizing my thoughts
on s t u d e n t government.
What we considered to be
dictatorial rule last year, I
am now almost convinced, is
what is needed around here.
And I feel that Council is
too big to work with efficiency.
Being out of it for a while,
I will be able to look objectively at the situation, and
to criticize constructively.
One of the main things
that people running for office are not aware of, is the
great amount of time required. Perhaps it is even
enough to warrant the sus:pension of classes for a year
for the President.
And dedication is needed.
If a person was to follow
the hierarchical steps, then
dedication would be there at
the start, and not towards
the end of August as in my

Join the ·Colle,• Crowd!

ested, and those willing to put in time the next year.
My mind is still not settled over what two former
Presidents of Lakehead U.
said, that student government seems very important
when you are in office, but
it seems important only to
yourself and not to others
when you leave office. It
makes me wonder if students
really care who and h ow
their affairs are handled.
~:
The key to success right
now may be in a new
structure, perhaps along the
lines of that used at York.
The interested few percent,
those known as t¥ left and
the radicals, should be in
charge of the student government. The ordinary student
is there to get a degree and
to go to social events. So
let him, and let the interested ones :run the show.
A system like this would
bring o u r student government up to par with the
rest of them. Up until now
we have been far below
them. And this could be the
key.
I regret leaving office.
J(ow I am more confused
about student government.
its value. and of the minority of persons interested in
it than before.

THE ARGUS

~ Without Young ...

We will overcome
It takes a lot of guts to admit one's faults,
and to get out of the way so that someone else
can take over.
It is true that Peter Young's resignation
had been stalled off for some time. It is true
that forces had been working on him for a
similar period of time, trying to get him to
shape up. And it is t1 ue that neither of these
forces ( often the same people) had left any
impression on the lion's brow.
But no one acted when the results de.-. mantled were not forthcoming.
No one knew how to act. And still no one
knows how to cope with a situation such as
this latest one.
What Council was looking for at their emer- •
gency meeting was blood. They wanted a
crucifixion of a personality, not a resignation,
as the original motion called for. The Council
wanted to bury the old ways with the purge
of but one actor from the cast.
But what they proved themselves incapable
of seeing, as they have time and again, is that
the purge, to be effective, must get rid of all
the dead wood. And they are a part of it.
.
COMMITTEES MUST BE USED

If the rot is so widespread as it would appear to be to the casual observer ( and they
are in plentitude at Lakehead), then there
must be reasons for it, ancl similarly solutions.
The AMS Council works on a committee
system. But they do not. They appear to
meet together on Wednesday nights to argue
over the little points which should have been
ironed out in their committees. In fact, at
times they vote against their committees'
decisions.
To function properly in this system, everyone cannot have both hands and both feet in
all the pies at the same time. The committees
must be given more authority, and greater
confidence in their decisions.
EXPERIENCE IS THE TUTOR
But the committee system works well only
when there are people on the individual bodies
who have had some experience. And Lakehead has a problem of inexperience or ineligibility among aspirants for positions.
The prime example is the Engineering faculty, where members take only one year here
if they are successful. And if they are experienced but unsuccessful, they are ineligible, due to the academic ruling.
The only solution - and it has been
achieved to some extent this year-is to mix
the experience liberally with the inexperience
in hopes that the resultant blend will be a
winner. This we have potentially this year,

if Council would only use the committees
more.
CONTACT ESSENTIAL
But Council is not alone in its shame.
Representatives cease to represent anyone
but themselves if they lose touch with their
electorate. It is very debatable who should
keep the channels of communication openthe councillors or the student body. It is our
belief that when Council operates efficiently,
those involved on one end do not have the
time to be fully involved on the other end
as well.
So the onus is back on the ordinary student
-on the one who is not in any way involved.
It is this student who is kicking in the spokes
of the whole wheel. And it is this student
who is 1he ultimate source of the rot apparent
in Council.
Perhaps student government is too large
and abstract a concept for most students to
grasp. After all, they have completed only
13 years in a system which revels in preaching these gems of abstrusion.
Then there aie those who become restless
after they have sat through the firs't hour of
a Council meeting. To these people we say,
Chief Justice Baumann was great at the last
meeting. And to the Council we say, if you
do not keep him as Chairman, you need your
heads examined.
PERPETUATION THE TOP PRIORITY
But by far the greatest problem faced is
that of perpetuation. If a system is a good
one, one of the characteristics will be this
training of successors.
Tocheri was the product of just such a
programme. But he failed to set another one
up, perhaps because he wanted those who followed to see just how great he had been, and
to wish him back again.
Peter Young was the unfortunate victim of
this oversight. And he has suffered, and he
has not done the job.
Both these past two presidents have been
asked to resign by Council. Only one, the
ungroomed one, went.
We contend that our system is a good one.
Therefore it must be perpetuated. Forget the
old line of "everyone has a chance" -it is
not true. You only have a chance if you are
willing to give it all you have.
And if you really want to know what is
going on, then find out. If you do not like
what is happening. get in and change it.
AMS means you, not the councillors. You
elected them. Through them, you run the
show.

Bill Weiler, AMS President

letter to
the editor
Sir:
I came across a copy of

your paper while attending
night classes at the University of Toronto. I was impressed by an article on
Technocracy written by Mr.
William Sheridan. I have
been in contact with Technocracy from time to time
through my life and I am
glad that at least some of
our youth are interested in
finding a solution to the
many problems . facing our
society.
For some time it has appeared strange to me that
all levels of government,
business and the private
sector of society are all going
into debt at an ever increasing rate and we still call
it prosperity.
We have the spectre of
the American government
drafting 30,000 men a month
to solve its unemployment
problem and shipping $80
million worth of goods and
services out to Viet Nam to
solve the problem of overproduction.
The National endeavour to
keep everybody working is
creating more and more useless jobs, more •and more
pollution, more and more

waste and a greater and
greater incidence of mental
problems.
It would -appear to me that
finding ways to do away
with jobs, creating a more
equitable distribution system
for' goods and services and
reducing th e amount of
waste would be far more intelligent than the method of
operation used at present.
However, I am aware that
when we live in a society
-where the prime motivation
is to turn natural resources
into dollars, and the more
we waste the more profit we
make, conditions can only
deteriorate at an ever increasing rate.
Therefore if Mr. Sheridan
would be kind enough to
send me some literature and
information on how to join
this organization c a 11 e d
Technocracy I would like to
assist in the work of informing my friends and acquaintances of the approaching
collapse of the ;&gt;resent form
of North American society
and the alternative offered
by a scientific and technological solution to our problems.
Yours truly,
Walter G. ,Spademan

just a modest, unbiased suggestion
by Ron Perry
"Old men start wars;
young men fight them."
Although this has become
a cliche, it is, nonetheless,
very true today.
In years gone by, the
young men ran like dogs
when their elders whistled
for them to fight the wars
they had started. Only this
generation seems to have
found the nerve to say, "No;"
to the master's voice. The
results ot this refusal can
be seen almost any evening
in the newcasts on tele-vision.

DRAFT THE AGED
Last night, while throwing darts at a picture of
L.B.J., I chanced on a solution to the whole problem.

Since the middle - agers
started this war and since
the polls show that they are
the ones in favor of continuing it, why not let them
fight it?
Instead of dragging reluctant youths overseas, why
not gather together the aging
remnants of the Second
World War (they never let
us forget it, do they?) and
let them be heroes all over
again.
BREAK THE MONOTONY

This isn't as radical as it
first appears. The average
middle-ager faced with a
boring job, selfish kids, a
30-year mortgage, and a fat
wife with hair curlers and
halitosis, would probably

jump at the chance to grab
a gun and play soldier again.
Why not let him get his
jollies like this instead of
forcing him to gain his only
excitement f r o m reading
Junior's Playboy (w hi I e
Junior's out getting the real
thing) or by leering at teenyboppers in miniskirts?
This would leave the
young free to enjoy the
things only they can enjoy
without the oldies looking
on, outwardly condemning
but secretly envying.
ECONOMICALLY SOUND

And from a cold financial
viewpoint, this would be
profitable also.
A man of 20 has 45 productive years ahead. These

of course are lost if he is
killed. A middle-ager, who's
going to croak in a f e w
years anyway does not represent anywhere near such
a loss.
These are the advantages
of this proposal, and since
this is obviously biased, I
won't go into the Qisadvantages.
So, how about it, Lyndon?
Why not start drafting the
heart attack and ulcer set.
Drag the execs. from their
offices and the working
slobs from the beer parlors
and leave • us young ones
with our long-haired honeys
and Hondas.
You have nothing to lose.
We won't go anyway!

THE ARGUS

Page S-

The McGill Daily affair - cont'd from page 1

Don
Colbome

It is undoubtedly this kind
of argument, applied to the
Principal publicly through
newspaper and pamphlets,
and, one can assume, privately, which led to the change
in the wording of the char~,
avoiding the "obscene libel"
question entirely.
FREEDOM OF THE PRESS
The second issue which
cropped up was freedom of
the press. At the first level
one had to determine if the
Daily editors were to have
newspaper policy dictated by
either student council or the
administration.
On this subject Principal
H. Rocke Robertson told
student council Nov. 6: "Editorial freedom does not mean
the right to be unaware of
consequences. And if these
consequences seem to bring
the university's good name
into disrepute, then the
authorities must take whatever action is necessary to
see that the university is
protected and to bring any
serious breach to the attention of the whole university
community."
He then, felt the ultimate
responsibility rests with the
administration. This is contrary to the Charter of the
student press in Canada,
which states;
Whereas freedom of the

This column continues the series on the issues underlying
the student power debate. It will attempt to touch upon the
question of- what philosophy of education should be adopted to
deal with present and future university needs.
Unfortunately, there are as many philosophies of education
as there are philosophers; and as there are educators. Every
society and every period of history has evolved a distinct set of
educational ideas and it would be pointless, let alone impossible,
to outline them here. It would also be impossible to suggest
precisely what philosophy is operating here and now, for there
are obviously at least several.
I shall attempt instead to challenge three basic hypotheses
regarding university which have apparently coloured almost
~very recent philosophy. They deal with the purpose, organization, and responsibilities of the institution.
Initially, it has always been supposed that the university
continues the acculturaliiing process begun in the~ home and
previous schooling, and demanded by S()ciety as a whole. A
~ce at any text in, for example, Political Science or Social
Thought reveals that the university continues to do an effective
job in this area. But should it? Many such courses are nothing
more than warmed-over middle-class-orientated apologies for the
status quo. McLuhan might not have it all figured out but his
"global village" concept contains a great deal of very immediate
truth, and it seems particularly absurd in the present day to continue training apologists for our own comer of the village, and
narrow critics who mistrust and misunderstand the rest of it.
It is long past the time students stopped being acculturalized
and started to become DEculturalized. As Dr. M. Lewis of Sir student press h a • been
George Williams University recently put it: "When we see our
students displaying certain dissatisfaction with our universities,
•
its because they find them irrelevant to the world."
Another supposition which has been common to most educational philqsophies is that the student must be coerced into
achieving. Recent psxchological studies and dozens of experimental schools have illustrated that this is a myth of the Santa
Claus variety, convenient and venerable, but not true. Students
produce as well or even better when they are not under threat,
yet here at Lakehead, students MUST attend lectures, submit
papers, take specific courses, etc., etc. In this sense Paul Goodman calls the university student the most significant group of
the modern "dispossessed," and an American professor writing
in Esquire magazine claims that the sooner students realize they
are treated as "niggers" the better off they will be.
One of the stock excuses offered by the defenders of our
universities (incidentally there are very few even within the system who deny that grave problems exist) is that they are dependent upon the community, and particularly the corporations,
for financial support and cannot sanction anything which might
threaten that support. John Galbraith, however, in his new
book "The Modem Industrial State" asserts that the universities
are being all too slow in discovering that the corporations are far
more dependent upon them than they are on the corporations.
The university can take as independent a role as it chooses when
it realizes this fact.
It is clear then that the traditional ideas regarding not only
the universities' purpose, but its organization and responsibilities
That's one of many
are becoming rapidly obsolescent. The university cannot continue

The Daily affair, and student

able to face issues even this

Students are niggers. When you get that straight,
our schools begin to make sense. It's more important,
though, to understand why they're niggers. If we
follow that question seriously, it will lead us· past the
zone of academic bullshit, where dedicated teachers
pass their knowledge on to a new generation, and
into the nltty-gdtty of human needs and hangups.
From there we can go on to consider whether it might
ever «&gt;e possible for students to come up from slavery.
First, look at the role students play in what we
like to call education. At Cal State where I teach, the
_ students have separate and unequal dining facilities.
If I bring a student into the faculty dining room, my
colleagues get uncomfortable, as though there were
a bad smell. If I eat in the student cafeteria, I become
known as the educational equivalent of a ''nig1erlover". In at least one building there are even rest
rooms which students may not use. Also there is an
unwritten law barring student-faculty lovemaking.
Fortunately, this. anti-miscegenation law, like its
Southern counterpart, is not 100.per cent effective.

CHOOSE HOMECOMING QUEEN
Students at Cal State are politically disenfranchised. They are in an academic 'Lowndes County.
Most of them can vote in national elections - their
average age is about 26 - «iut they have no voice
in the decisions which affect their academic lives.
The students are, it is true, allowed to have a toy
government of their own. It is a government run, for
the most part, by Uncle Toms, concerned principally
with trivia. The faculty and administrators decide
what courses will be offered; the students get to
choose their own Homecoming Queen. Occasionally,
when student leaders . get uppity and rebellious,
they're either ignored, put off with trivial conces&amp;ions, or maneuvered expertly out of position.
A student at Cal State is expected to know bis
place. He calls a faculty member "Sir" or "Doctor''
or "Professor' and he smiles and shuffles some as he
stands outside the professor!s office waiting for permission to enter. The faculty tell him what courses
to take (in my department, English, even el~ves
..., have to be approved by a faculty member); they tell
him what to read, what to write, and ,frequently,
where to set the margins on his typewriter. They- tell
him what's true and what isn't. Some teachers insist
that they encourage dissent but they're almost always
jiving and evfry student knows it. Tell The Man what
he wants to hear or he'll fall you.

will not tolerate any of that in his class. The class,
incidentally, consisted md'stly of high school teachers.
Even more discouraging than this Auschwitz
approach to education is the fact that the students
take it. They haven•~ gone through twelve years of
public school for nothing. They've learned one thing
and perhaps only one thing during those twelve
years. They've forgotten their algebra. They're hopelessly vague about chemistry and physics. They've
grown to fear and resent literature. "nley write like

they leave elementary school. Things are true because
the teacher says they're true. At a very early age we
all learn to accept "two truths," as did certain medieval churchmen. Outside of class, things are true to
your tongue, your finger, your stomach, your heart.
Inside class, things are true by reason of authority.
And that's just fine because you don't care anyway.
!Miss Wiedemeyer tells you a noun is a person, place
or thing. So let it be. You don't give a rat's ass; she
doesn't give a rat's ass.

SIRENS AND A RAfflE OF BULLETS
The important thing is to please her. Back in
kindergarten, you found out that teachers only love
children who stand in nice straight lines. And that's
where it's been at ever since. Nothing chan1es except
to get worse. School becomes more and more obviously a prison. Last year I spoke to a student assembly
at Manual IArts mgh -~oot and tlren couldn't get out
of the goddamn school. I mean there was no way out.
Locked doors. High fences. One of the inmates was
trying to make it over a fence when he saw me
coming and froze in panic. •For a moment, I expected
sirens, a rattle of bullets, and him clawing the fence.
'lben there's the infamous "code of dress." In
some high schools, if your skirt looks too short, you
have to kneel before the principal, in a brief alleg01'1'
of fellatio. If the hem doesn't reach the floor. you go
home to change while he, presumably, jacks off. Boys
in high school can't be too sloppy and they can't be
too sharp. You'd think the school board would be
delighted to see all the spades troophig to school in
poinn, shoes, suits, ties and stingy brims. Uh-uh.
They're too visible.
What school amounts to, then, for wntte and black
kids alike, is a 12-year course in how to ibe slaves.
What else could explain what I see in a freshman
class ? They've got that slave mentality; obliging and
ingratiating on the surface but ,hostile and resfstent
underneath. Like black slaves, students vary in their
awareness of what's going on. Some recognize their
own put-on for what it is and even let their rebellion
break through to the surface now and then. Othersincluding most of the "good students" - have been
more deeply brainwashed. They swallow the bullshit
with gr~y mouths. They honest-to-God believe in
grades, in busy work, in general education requirements. They're pathetically eager to be pushed
around. They're like those old grey-headed house.

artists who know perfectly well what's happening.
They want the degree and spend their years on the
old plantation alternately laughing and cursing as
they play the game. If .t heir egos are strong enough,
they cheat a lot. And, of course, even the Toms are
angry down deep somewhere. But it comes out in
passive rather than active aggression. They're unexplainably thick-witted and subject to frequent spells
of laziness. They misread simple questions. Theyspend their nights mechanically outlining history
chapters while meticulously failing to comprehend
a word of what's in· front of them.
The saddest cases among both black slaves and
student slaves are the ones who have so thoroughly
introjected their masters' values that their anger is
all turned inward. At Cal State these are the kids
for whom every low grade is torture, who stammer
and. shake when they speak to a professor. They go
through an emotional crisis every time they're called
upon during class. You can recognize them easily at
finals time. Their faces are festooned with fresh
pimples; their bowels boil audibly across the roopi.
If there really is a Last Judgment, then the parents
and teachers who created these wrecks are going to
•burn in hell.
'
So student are niggers. Jt's time to find out why,
and to do this, we have to take a long look at Mr.
Charlie.
The teachers I know best are college pFofessors.
Outside the .classroom and taken as a group, their
most striking characteristic is timidity. They're short
on balls. Just look at their working condltlons. At a
time when even migrant workers have begun to fight
and win, college professors are still afraid to make
more than a token effort to .improve their pitiful
economic status. l'n California state colleges the faculties are screwed regularly and vigorously by the
governor and legislature and yet they still won't
offer any solid resistance. They lie flat on their
stomachs with their pants down, mumbling catchphrases like "professional dignity'• and "meaningful
dialogue."

THEY COPPED OUT
Professors were no different when I was an undergraduate at lJCLA during the 'McCarthy era; it was
like a cattle stampede as they rushed to •cop out.
And in more recent years, I found that my being
arrested in sit-ins brought from my colleagues, nnt so
mµch approval or condemnation as open-mouthed
astonishment: "You could lose your.job!"
Now, of course, there's the Vietnamese war. It .
gets spme opposition from a few teachers. Some
support it. But a vast number of professors, who
know perfectly well what's happening, are copping
out again. And in the high schools you can forget it.
Stillness reigns.
rm not sure why teachers are so chickenshit._
It could be that academic training itself forces a split
between thought and action. It might also be that the
tenured security of a teaching job attracts timid
persons who are unsure of themselves and need
weapons and other external trappings of authority.
At any rate, teachers are short on balls. And,
as Judy Einstein has eloquently pointed out, the
classroom offers an artificial and protected environment in which they can exercise their will to power.
Your neighbors may drive a better car; gas station
attendants may intimidate you, your wife may dominate you; the state legislature may shit on you; but
in the classroom, by God, students do what you sayor-else. The grade is a hell of a weapon. It may not

MAKE THEM WILLING SLAVIS

RESPECT FOR AUTHORITY
The general timidity which causes teachers to
make niggers of their students usually includes a
more specific fear-fear of the students themselves.
After all, students are different, just like black
people. You stand exposed in front of them, knowillg
that their interests, their values and their language
are different from yours. To make matters worse,
you may suspect that you yourself are not the most
engaging person. What then can protect you from
their ridicule and scorn ? Respect for authority.
That's what. It's the policeman's gun again. The
white ,bwana's pith helmet. So you•flaunt that authority. You wither whisperers with a murderous glance.
You crush objectors with erudition and heavy irony.
And, worst of all, you make your own attainments
seem not accessible but awesomely remote. You conceal your massive ignorance - and parade a slendor
learning.
Finally, there's the darkest reason of all for the
master-slave approach· to education. The less trained
and the less socialized a person is, the more he constitutes a sexual threat and the more be.will be subjugated by institutions, such as penltentlarles and
schools, Many of us are aware by now of the sexual
neurosis which ~kes white man so fearful of integrated schools and neighborhoods, and which makes
castration of Negroes a deeply entrenched Southern
folkway. We ~ould recognize a slmllar pattern in
education. There is a kind of castration that goes on

unashamed sexuality and continues right up to the
day when they hand you your doctoral diploma with
a bleeding, shriveled pair of testicles stapled to the
parchment. Ifs not that sexuality has no place in tlie
classroom. You'll find it there but only in certain
perverted and vitiated forms.

PERVERSION IS INTELLECTUAL

How does sex show up in school? First of all,
there's the sadomasochistic relationship ·between
teachers and students. That's plenty sexual,- although
the price of enjoying It is to be unaware of what's

Youth and the new evangelism
by Ward Olson
"We just cannot be on the
side of the Americans who
are knocking hell out of

This statement, in reference to Vietnam, would
scarcely be newsworthy coming from most sources. It
sounds like one of the everincreasing number of voices
decrying the American actions in Vietnam.

VOICE FROM
THE CLOISTERS

This voice, however, is different. It comes from Rev.
Ray Hord, Secretary of the
Board of Evangelism and
Social Service of the United
Chwrch.
Coming from the spokesman for an institution with
the amazing (and disgusting)
record for social apathy that

the United Church had, it is
startling, indeed almost revolutionary. The U n it e d
Church, while one of the
more "liberal" churches, has
for years followed a pallid,
"me too" policy on almost
all social issues.

VIiEWS OPPOSED

While Rev. Hord has met
a good deal of opposition
from within the church regarding his views - and he
does not speak for all members of his church by any
means - he is representative of a phenomenon which
has appeared in the church
in recent months, called The

New Evangelism.
T hi s
amounts to an ecclesiastic
version of the "generation
gap."
The young radical voices
in most churches are fed up
with the namby-pamby attitudes that their institutions
have taken to social issues
in the past. They feel that
the churches, as keepers of
the public morals, as it were,
should take a long look at
their attitudes.
POSITIVE ACTION

What are the actions taken
up by these dedicated young
men? Protesting the Vietnam
situation is only one course,
albeit a central and vital
one.
The others include agitation for liberalization of the
abortion laws, education in
birth control, civil rights,
and many others.

GIA~ TS

What does the "older generation" in the cnurches have
to say about all of this.
The statement by United
Church Moderator W. C.
Lockhart, that Rev. Hord
"commits the church to Tigid
positions_, making manoeuverability difficult," very
nearly typifies the attitude
of the establishment in most
churches.
They dread being forced
to take any kind of meaningful stand on an issue of social
importance. They have dissociated the churches from
the society they serve so

that the church is largely irrevelent to the lives of most
of today's young people. The
New Evangelists feel, and
perhaps rightly so, that
churches must rejoin society,
and soon, or they will cease
to exist.

"GET RELEVANT"

The New Evangelism, as a
reflection of the attitudes
and values of North American youth in general, is delivering a sort of "get relevant or else" ultimatum to
the establishment of all
churches. In all respects it
puts the churches in a position of uncertainty in the
minds of the youth, making
the churches' overall position
in society unstable.
The onus is now on the
churches to reform, and to
do it fast. They have a great
potential for positive social
action, but an equally great
record for apathy so far.
A liberal dose of social
conscience is in order in
their official policy, and
soon, or the churches will
wither and die under the
weight of their own inertia.
And the youth will shed
no tears.

By accepting this Declaration, Council has made us a
part of it. It is now up to us
to make it a working document. Though there are
small points that can be
questioned, the overall intention and meaning of the
Declaration is surely justified.

REPRESENTATION

We, through our present

their own initiative, ,hould
work towards making representative bodies autonomous. They are, at present,
subject to the Board of Governors as is their "legislation." If we are to attain
"a community of scholars,"
this autonomy is essential.
These are just a few suggestions. The Declaration of
the Canadian Student offers
many possibilities for more
students.
If we read it, discuss it,
and use it, then we can make
if.work.

Education is a contributive social process, the
essence of which is an expanding awareness of
man's social and natural environment through
dialogue and cooperative intellectual effort. The
principal goal of education is to serve society by
developing the full potential of all citizens as
free, creative, thinking and acting human beings
and therefore to serve society by helping to
achieve equality of the essential conditions of
human living. The student must discover, examine and assimilate the knowledge of his environment and must develop the ability to cope
with and transform it.
The Canadian Student has the right and duty to
improve himself as a social being and to contribute -to the development of society by:

b) learning by sharing his perceptions and
thoughts with his fellow citizens and constructively criticizing theirs;
c) engaging in fundamental action, as an individual or in a group, to confront society with
discoveries and to promote consequent action to
bring reforms into practice;
d) playing a full part in the life of the community as a citizen.

The Canadian Student, as a full member of the
academic community and society, has the right
and duty to participate in shaping an environment conducive to the accomplishment of these
aims and to make basic decisions about the conditions and nature of his intellectual activity
and the goals served by educational institutions.
The student has the duty to assure that the educational system is accessible and democratic so
that it will serve the interests of the whole society. The Canadian Student has the right to be
free to continue his education without any material, economic, social or psychological barriers,

STUDENTS TOID

The Canadian Student has the right to establish
democratic. representative student associations.
Realizing that educational reform will not come
in a vacuum or without a continuous examination and possible transformation of societal
values and institutional arrangements, the associations must be free to ally themselves with
other groups in society which h~ve similar aims.

Implementation of the ·Declaration
the Canada Student

"The Canadian student has
the right and duty to improve himseH . . ...
It is doubtful, to this

writer, that something which
is right can be related to
something which is a duty.
Duty negates rights. There
is no choice implicit in
"duty"; there is in "right."
Surely, however, there
can be no question of a
student's right to "expand his

power is unparalled when
compared with any other distinctive group. Politicians
cater to student needs and
a great many of the active
social movements are supported or run by students.
In short, we are a distinct
group.
Now, distinct group, what
does this Declaration mean
to you?
The Declaration states that
"education is a contributive
process" which expands your
awareness of your environment. This cannot be denied,
even by the lower cafeteria
card players. Any new contact with a human being
must produce an educational
reaction of some sort. And
that is what education is
about.
It is questionable that the
"goal of education" is to
serve society in any way.
That may be society's purpose in having educational
institutions and the systems
they seem to entail. But it
does not follow that the goal
of education is in sympathy.
The goal of education is
too individual to be confined
by such a definition. It is
in fact, the "education" of
the individual.
This is one of the few
points where the Declaration
falls down. It smells of appeasement. With this phrase
it can be acceptable to society and is in line with our
"obligation orientated" ~ay
of life.

THE ARGUS

Nor'vvesters defeat
ovvn alumni
The fast break and percentage shooting versus
methodical play and bad
shooting was the story of
the night as the Lakehead
University Nor'Westers defeated the Lakehead Alumni
76 to 37.
For the Alumni it was Bob
Elvin, again proving why he
is considered the best basketball player to graduate from
Lakehead Universj.ty, as the
6'3" forward hooped 12
points followed by Brian McKinnon with 6, and Dennis
Lake with 4. In all, 10 of the-14 members of the Alumni
team scored, as Jim Brownrigg substituted often during
the game trying to keep the
Nor'Westers fast break in
check. The N or'Westers were
Jed by Don Holmstrom with
18 points followed by Rob
Cameron and Roy Holman
who hooped 12 points each.
This was the first of what
will become an annual game
between the Lakehead University Nor'Westers against
their Basketball Alumni. The
turnout by the Alumni was

just great, and considering
some hadn't picked up a
basketball in several years
they proved to be formidable.
competition. Granted, they
did not attempt to run the
basketball as did the Nor'Westers but often their experience allowed them to
take shots that the University Nor'Westers couldn1t anticipate. Strategically their
game was good, only lack of
practice let them down.
The Lakehead University
Nor'Westers now travel to
Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario to
o p en their Interao&amp;giate
Basltetball season against
Cambrian College of that
city. Rookie Coach George
Birger when asked about the
possibilities of a win, "I just

L. U. drops opener_
Lakehead's entry in the
Commercial Hockey League
started their season in a losing effort.
The team, played the B.A.
Oilers, last year's champs,
and were easily defeated by
the score of 7 - 2. Only brilliant goal-tending by Randy
Wilkie and erratic shooting
by the Oilers kept the score
that low.
Our team dressed
18
players, while the B.A.
squad had only 11 men
dressed. They were missing
some of their top goal scor-·
ers
Lack of practise was the
main downfall of the Lakehead team. Most of the
players had been on skates
twice before the game, with
the result that they were
being caught up the ice
while the Oilers had two or
three man breaks on Wilkie.
Lack of a coach also hell.ped
to produce the appareni disorganization.
Another bright spot in the
game for the L.U. squad was
the work done by the line
of Tony Marsonet, Wayne
Marostica, and Alan Holt.
They were the Nor'Westers
best checking line and their
work led to the two goals
scored.
Both goals came on close
in plays. Marostica and
Marsonet scored, while Holt
drew two assists.

have used more of the
players cut from the varsity
team. Out of the 20 who

Dissappointing weekend

\

I

Well after a week's absence (due to the amount of advertis-ing it appears) I'm back.

I

Lakehead University NorWesters looked impressive the other
night·~s they defea~ the alumni 76-37. The alumni looked a
bit out of shape and disorganized due to the lack of practice
time, but they still came up with some good plays, and occas~onally made the varsity boys look bad. Another game is planned for sometime in January hopefully__ during winter carnival.
High scorer: Holmstrom 18, Alumnis Elvin 12.
The first home game intercollegiate games will be played in
hockey and basketball this weekend. The S.A.S. will be selling
250 season tickets for students, good for basketball and hockey
at a cost of $2.50. 100 adult seascni tickets will go on sale {or
basketball and also 100 for hockey. They will cost $5.00 fw
each sport. C',ost at the door will be 25c for students and $1.00

C',ongratulations to "Candy" Kartinen, a student from L.U.,
who made the semi-final in the Miss Canada Pageant,. Her talent
was figure skating. Maybe C',oach Akerval could use her on the
hockey team. I'm sure she'd stop many an on-rushing forward.

I'm glad to see that Miss Joan Walberg of L.T.C. is concerned with her college's position in L.U. sports. We certainly
appreciate the use of their gym for our basketball team to practice, but the -reason L.T.C. players can not play intercollegiate
games until next year is by rules set down by intercollegiate
associations and not by L. U.

.

The Great Mystic is taking another week off after predicting
12 out of 13 games correctly ( we give him the benefit of the
doubt in ties) in the N.F.L. and A.F.L. Sunday, November

Congratulations to the Kenora Lakewood Mustangs and

Just a reminder that, although L.U. does have two of its
junior ranks. Dave Bragnalo of Business Admin. I, plays for the

The Lakehead University
Nor'Wester Basketball team
won their first game of the
season under new coach
George Birger by defeating
the Dinty Kentuckians ·by a
score of 77 to 61 at Sir
Winston Churchill H i g h
School on Wednesday, November 8, 1967.
With a slow start the
Nor'Westers pulled into the
lead after five minutes of
the first half and were nevei
headed. The Nor'Westers led
at half-time 41 to 30 with
Don Holmstrom scoring 20
points. In the second half
Holmstrom cooled off but
freshman guard Roy Holman,
a P.A.C.I. product, maintained the pace with 10
field goals. Roy Holman was
the leading scorer for the
Nor'Westers with 26 points,
followed by Holmstram's 24
and Bob Cameron's 10. The
leading scorers for the Ken-

tuckians were Nino Diblasio
and Jim Brownrigg with 18
and 17 points respectively.
The Nor'Westers made 34
of 101 shots for 34 percent
while the Kentuckians made
25 of 70 for 35 percent. From
the free throw line the
Nor'Westers made 9 of 20
while the Kentuckians made
11 of 21, both rather poor
marks. In the rebounding department the Nor'Westers
led 66 to 51 over the Kentuckians. For Lakehead University it was Holmstrom
with 22 and for Dinty's it
was Love with' 20.
Coach Birger was high in
his praise of the Lakehead
University squad, feeling that
except for early season
wrinkles his team played
well. The freshman appear
to be moulding with the
veterans indicating a fine
season for the Nor'Wester
hoopsters.

The Lakehead Nor'Westers travelled to
Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario and to the Soo,
Michigan, to take on teams from two different schools over the past weekend.
The basketball team played the Caats
from Cambrian College, while the hockey
team met the Superior State College Lakers,
across the border.
Saturday saw the basketballers fall to
the Caats by a score of 52 - 48.
The Nor'Westers were led by Don
Holmstrcm's 26 points, followed by Jim
Johnston with 11. The Nor'Westers were
cold both from the field and from the free
throw line, netting 19 of 71 shots from the
field and 11 of 21 from the foul line.
In the second game, the Nor'Westers
jumped into the lead after five minutes
and never looked back.
Again it was Holmstrom who led the
team with 20 points. Johnston and Koski
each netted 11 points, with Cameron following clo&amp;'ely with 10.

The hockey team, defending I.C.H.A.
Champions, were twice defeated by the Soo
Michigan Lakers. Scores were 9 - 4 and 8 - 6.
The Lakers wasted no time in the first
g~e as they jumped ·to a 3 - 1 lead in
the first period.
The second game started the same way
as the host team jumped to a 5 - 1 first
period lead. The Nor'Westers came back in
the second to match the score 5 - 5, and
out-shot the Lakers 14 - 4 in the final period,
but were out-scored 3 - 1 in that frame.
Murray Smith led the L.U. squad with
a total o:t six goals atld two assists, followed
by Dave Siciliano with five assists, • and
Dwight Stirrett, with one goal and three
assists.
•
Coach Akervall attributed the losses to
better conditioning on the part of the Lakers.
"The fact that we are limited to three
hours of practise a week as compared to
their team's ten is definitely going to hurt
us in these early games," he said.

Rhythmic gymnastics programme to start
As an introduction to
R h y t h m i c Gymnastics, I
asked Mrs. Jutta Dusang of
the Athletic Department to
explain just what this type
of gymnastics was. After her
explanation, which follows,
she went on to say that the
programme will start immediately and that 30 persons
have signed at the Athletic
Office.
Rhythm descends from the
Greek language and means
uninterrupted movement involving changes of tension
and relaxation. Rhythmic
Gymnastics is movement executed in time, space energy
and form. Time - the slow
through to fast. Space - the
narrow, the wide, the deep,
md the high. Energy - the
strength, the bending and
stretching. Form - the line,
the circle. Every emotion is
expressable by a movement,
every movement creates an

impression.
The basic movements of
Rythmic Gymnastics are:
walking, running, jumping,
skipping, and turning, timed
by a given rhythm. We use
instruments such as balls,
hoops, and clubs for greater
variation and for distracting
our minds from the actual
effort.
For example, fitness. Take
a hoop, push it across the·
gym running along with it.
You certainly will notice the
effort of the exercise less
than running without a hoop.
Example two, flexibility.
Sit on the floor with straight
legs and knees, then touc:ti
your toes. It hurts doesn't
it? Now take a ball and roll
it around the sh-etched out
legs, but watch that your
ball does not escape your
hands!
Example three, grace. Imagine having to walk by an

audience which is critically
watching every step you
take. You most probably are
tense and over-selfconscious.
Now take a club, put it on
your head, hold it w'i.th one
hand and you will walk
proudly and gracefully, like
a Spanish Senorita.
In practicing Rhythmj.c
Gymnastics we tone the
muscles, develop body fitness and flexibility. Through
specific exercises we correct
the posture, learn about relaxation and self-control, a'nd
build up organic strength by
means of respiration.

Moderates abound as
Council elections near
by Chuck Grieve
(The author of this article is a 1968graduate
of Lakehead, and a former editor of the ARGUS.
Information on the candidates was compiled
from their submissions to the ARGUS and from
interviews with students during study week.)

Tomorrow, Lakehead students again go to
the polls, this time to elect AMS councillors
for the 1969-70 session. When nominations for

Ross Singleton was found
not guilty of b-eaking down a

the AMS Judicial Committee
headed by Mike Barkwell, who
was himself found guilty of

The Judicial Committee,
which met Thursday, Feb. 27
over charges resulting from
disturbances at the Engineers'
Stag Feb. 8, found Singleton
not guilty of "willful damage
to a door", not guilty on a
charge of fighting, but guilty
of a charge of disorderly con•

The defendent pleaded
guilty to all three counts, but
the Justices decided there was
insufficient evidence to convict him on two of the charges.
Singleton was fined $15 to
be paid by March 15 and AMS

,upon involvement in any further

Dec. 31, 1968, and negotiations
had been in process since
Nov. 4, 1968. Two meetings
were held with a government
conciliation officer and on
his recommendation to the
Minister of Labour, the Minister informed Local 397 that
no conciliation board w~
recommended.
Local 397 was free to go
on strike on Feb. 28.
One more negotiation meeting was held on Feb. 26 in a
last attempt to avert strike

fringe benefits and welfare,
which would give meQtbers of

This year's election will probably be much
closer than those in former years. The majority of candidates have stressed their despair
at the elitist nature of past Councils, and place
high in their lists of priorities the reversal of
this trend.
The Arts candidates include students with
varying degrees of experience. Th.re'! former
councillors, Ken Boshcoff, Michael Gravelle
and Simon Hoad are all in the running, as are
three Argus staff members, Ron Baker, John
MacGregor, and Doug Smart.
Judging from past performance, Boshcoff
can be counted on to sit on numerous committees, as he presently does. His major concern
seems to be with saving money, notably accomplished in past by chG&gt;pping 'both honoraria
and course evaluation programs. Gravelle's
native wit is effervescent, but he did a reasonably good job on the cafeteria committee this
year. He comes on as an honest councillor.
Simon Hoad has proven himself to be one
who stands up for his beliefs. A keen participant in many phases of student activity, Hoad
limited his effectiveness by resigning from last
year's Council.
As this year's editor of the ARGUS, Ron
Baker has been a constant concerned critic
of Council. If he puts as much time into Council as he puts into the Argus, he will be a
worthy candidate. Doug Smart campaigned for
CUS in ·the recent referendum, and has proven
himself to be an 1D1tiring worker. MacGregor,
a graduaie of Ryerson, has made his presence
felt in the Argus this year. He defended vigor•

ously the "no rules" policy of "C" house in
New Residence this year. John has proven to
be a hard worker and a progressive thinker.

All active
Six candidates for the Arts seat on Council
are relatively unknown faces at the University,
but all have been active in student activities
in the past year.
Val Dennison's politics, if anything, are
left of centre. She can most often be found in
the thick of debate on any issue, and she has
never hesitated to defend her ideas. Ray Hunt,
a member of the varsity hockey team, has been
interested enough in the AMS to sit through
several meetings. He wants Council to be more
involved and less cliquish. Kumar Kwatra,
involved in the past with the International
Studen~ Organization, stands for concerned
international representation.
Donna Pace, crowned Carnival Queen, ser·
ved the students at the University of Western
Ontario as External Affairs officer on their
students' council. Her personal involvements
mark her as one who follows up her ideas with
positive action.
Michael Metherell stands as a representat•
ive of the students. He seems to be an independent personality, but he obviously sees
himself as something altogether different, since
he claims to be Kaz Miyata's understudy.
Robert MacLeod is a "left of centre moderate"
who likes to hear himself talk. His platform
is one of student participation and Senate
openness.

Two for Science
Judy Pearson and John Paddington are the
candidates for the one seat on Council for
upper years Sciencemen.
Paddington has an interest in seeing the
University grow. He rarely takes part in vehe·
ment talk sessions, preferring to listen and
reflect. He can be counted on for sound decision-making.
Judy Pearson has been immersed in student
government activities _as a spectator for the
past year. She worked on several different
campaigns over the course of the term, and has
displayed a quick mind in argument.

Feedback stressed
All seven candidates for the University
Schools seats are concerned with communicont'd page two

McGill prof's dismissal causes uproar
MONTREAL (CUP)·· The
explosive Gray affair at
McGill University was further
complicated Thursday when
over 100 faculty members
made public a petition sharply
critical
of admii,istration
handling of the conflict.
In an open letter to the
administration the 100 (of
1,000) faculty members questioned ,. the wisdom shown by
the administration of McGill
University in. relation to the
proceedings taken against Mr.
Stanley Gray."
The staff members scored
the administration for failing

"to respond to the evolving
principles
of . university
government, by which we mean
the painfully slow process of
the democratization of the
university." They criticized
the fact that administrative
officers ,. are not chosen by
or accountable to the university community as a whole."
The result of this selection
process, they say, is a set of
administrators "often unaware
of and insensitive to the
needs, opinions and ideas of
the staff and the students."
Threats and repressive

action only make the situation
worse, the letter said.
Principal H. Rocke Robert•
son, instigator of dismissal
proceedings against Gray,
was not impressed with the
petition and said: "In a
difficult situation of this sort
there are bound to be sharp
differences of opinion."
He also pointed out that
he had received a petition of
support from over 500 faculty
members.
Gray had a Friday evening
deadline to decide on whether
he will accept an arbitration

committee following guidelines established by the
Canadian
Association of
University Teachers.
The
political
science
lecturer countered with a
proposal to set up a university
community board but the plan
was rejected by Robertson.
If Gray rejects the CAUT
system, · he may be dismissed
outright.
Of the 100 signatories to
the petition, 14 were full pro•
ft:ssors, 11 associate professors, 45 assistant professors,
29 lecturers, and I research
fellow.

cation between Council and the University
Schools students. Only one of the seven is
up for re-election.
Janet Hamer worked on the organizational
level of Council last year, and has proven herself capable in the capacity of office manager.
She would have LUST used more effectively
next year, to serve better as a vehicle for
cormmnication.
Three candidates have served on University
Schools council. Darlene Cymbalisty wants to
change the nature of the AMS Council to bring
about more effective government. She has
been very active as a worker in past years,
and brings into the campaign considerable experience on a wide range of committees. Sharon
Weller stresses the responsibilities of a counsillor, pointing out unwillingness to take this
responsibility as a major set-back on past
Councils. She would like to be a part of
a progressive Council. Jack Tallon brings
an open mind and a desire for communication
to the campaign.
Albert Au stresses the representational
a_spec:t of Council as the most imoortant. He

would also work towards improved communication
between Council and his mates in the Schools.
John Drew offers the electorate new opinions,
and a willingness to work with the newly
elected executive. Dave Snell comes on as an
idealistic thinker. His conception of Council
is a governing body; a problem solving organization.

Independent thinking
There are no obvious choices for this year's
Council. And there are no political blocs of
which to be wary.
Dennis Wallace, newly-elected AMS President, spoke of the requirements of a good
councillor.
"Political le_aning, while important, I don't
thing should be the only ·consideration in elect•
ing representatives," he said. "The good
councillor is the one who relies not on the
structured policies of one particular line, hut
who is able to think independently, and to act
on decisions for the good of the students.''

CYNIC
by Ted Goodden
The following essay was submitted by a
grade 11 high school student in London, Ont.,
to his English Teacher:

My Composition

by Brian Gray

Dear Mrs.
In the following essay I would like to express my opinions on some of the shortcomings
of the school system and the curiculum.
The school operates on a type of preferred
system of rights. Mr.-- (the high school viceprincipal) can do what he likes, as long as he
remains far enough behind the times to please
my parents and the Board of Education. You
can do whatever the hell you want as long
Mr.-- and his friends don't find out. The same
situation applies to me, except it is much
easier for me to get caught, and there's a lot
more I can get caught doing. This is one
thing I can't understand. If I'm paying you
to teach me, why shouldn't you be the one with
all the restrictions and why shouldn't I be
giving the orders? If there's going to be a
nigger at all it should be you.
I am in complete amazement of the course
called "English" which is taught at this
school. The whole idea of this course seems
to be to give us a knowledge of past literature
while denying any existence of a present art
form. I find it extremely difficult to understand the meaning of works by Milton, Shakespeare, and others whose works were very
significant when they were written but fail to
interest me now. What exactly are you trying
to teach me through these works? If you are
trying to show the beauty of such authors'
works why do you want us to rip apart every
line and verse and transcribe them? If you are
trying to illustrate the structure and styles of
certain types of literature, couldn't you use
modern examples that would be more interesting and understandable? If you are teaching this course only because Mr.-· pays you to,
then that's fine with me, but I was just wondering.
I think that you can expect, though, that
the students will be extremely discouraged
when you make them memorize shit just for the
sake of fulfilling an absurd quota as to how
many lines they are required to memorize.
You know, of course, that students forget what
they memorize in a few days, so this practice,
without a doubt, is a one-hundred per cent
waste of time.
With your curriculum, it is difficult not to
bore the pants off your students, and I think

this is where your course is mainly at fault.
ltissad that with all the great literary achievements throughout the centuries, a lunch period
is a hell of a lot more enjoyable than an
English period.
Another very disturbing aspect of the
system is the student representation. In order
to keep us contented, Mr.-- lets us have a
prefect system and a Students Council. Mr.-deserves a Nobel peace prize for humanity.
He confuses the kiddies by making them believe that these two forces are a privi ledge.
The poor prefects are given the two jobs in
our school which are considered the lowest in
society, those of the garbageman and the cop.
The prefects are made to collect the trash left
by pigs at lunch period and then told to enforce all the meaningless laws Mr .•• makes up
and inflicts upon us. The students council
takes in money from the students and entertains
us through school dances. School dances?
What bullshit! The school has nothing to do
with these dances. It's the students who pay
for and organize these dances. Mr.-· lets us
use our gym and in return we must ob&amp;y his
pointless rules (restrictions on time you can
come, guest passes, smoking etc.). And our.
parents think, what a jewel Mr.-- is for allowa place for wholesome social activity. Bless
you, Mr.-- .
Well, to conclude, I think I have a lot more
sympathy for your position than for Mr--'s,
but I'm still concerned about the student as an
individual. I hope you comment about some of
the things I've written.
Yours truly,
Brian.
It is easy to find fault with this essay.
The language seems deliberately provoking,
the logic is ruthlessly two-dimensional.
But it is not fair to call the essay immature;
the author is sixteen years old and measured
against his peers he stands out as remarkably
advanced and sincere in his thmking. (If he
had a better grasp of student power jargon, he
could perhaps write for a CVS newsletter.)
Brian must have intimidated his English
teacher. The essay was in the form of a letter
to her, he asks for her comments, and is obviously looking for a personal confrontation.
He is inviting his teacher ta step out of her
role and speak to him as a person, asscre him
that she has not been bought off. It is possible that his teacher has never given much
thought to the function of the student council
or the prefect, but she sfvuld be able and
willing to defend the relevancy of her English
course to her students.
Instead she handled the essay predictably,
retreating further behind her official function.
The essay was returned, without comment,

and a grade of minus one. (minus· one?!)
Another essay would have to be submitted. Brian had learned his lessons well,
and knew the formula for getting a good grade:
imitate standard form, content doesn't matter.
His second essay is amusing considering the
circumstances. The level of irony in the following essay may have escaped the notice of
Brian's teacher. It received a grade of 8-.

How Animals Prepare for Winter
Brian Gray 11 C

There are many animals which pfepare for
winter in interesting and dynamic ways, but
probably the best known and most widely acclaimed ones are these: the happy-go-lucky
bullfrog, the domestic beef cow, the energetic
pigeon, and the hard-working brown squirrel.
The first animal we discuss is the bullfrog.
This animal has a grave problem, when Mother
Nature turns on her vast refrigeration unit
throughout the forestland. Poor bullfrog has
to prepare or else his pond and his home will
freeze and he will have no place to live. What
our friend does is, before his pond is frozen
over, he dives to the bottom of the pond and
buries his body in the mud below. This quickthinking reptile stays at the bottom tmtil
spring is here.
Number two in our lineup is the domestic
beefcow. This animal has less control over
winter preparations than the others. When
Jack Frost comes in the fall, the farmer must
prepare his barn for cow. He must bring straw
and hay into the barn so cow will have lots to
eat and gain lots of weight. If cow gets fat
enough, farmer can sell cow and we can eat
cow. Poor Cow!
Our third animal we look at is a member of
the bird family. Pigeon has to worry about
getting food and not freezing his unprotected
body in the cold weather. To solve this problem, pigeon flies south for the winter. Pigeon
is no dummy.
The final and probably the most interesting
animal is squirrel. Squirrel prepares for the
chilly season by finding a hollow tree to live
in. She then gathers food for herself, which
consists only of nuts. These are put into the
hollow tree and as soon as the weather gets
cold, squirrel joins them.
Throughout the
winter she can eat the nuts inside her home.
This is the prime example of real preparation
by an animal.
Brian insults his teacher's intelligence by
submitting a puri le essay, his teacher insults
Brian's intelligence in return by giving it a
a grade of 8-. And so ends another episode
in the life of a high school student who is
lost, finding himself going up the down staircase. Poor student. Poor Teacher.

�the SDU

Students for a Democratic University. SOU.
. The group is growing at Lakehead, and beginning to get
involved.
For a start, they are criticizing the AMS Council. Their
-:- reasons are clear: the counci I is a handy organization for
the administration to have around, but not much use to
students' educational interests.
For example, the AMS takes care of student social
events, a nasty chore the administration does not wish to
spend time on. Also, the council gets students involved
in what is supposeqly student government, only to find
themselves bogged down with social convening, and unable
to represent more important student interests (either that or
the councillors come to think social convening is the right
basis tor student government).
A nice set-up. Dissent is smothered by the irrelevant
workload in student council. And the administration deals
only with the counci I as a "representative~'body.
However, the counci I does not necessarily have to re..__ main this way.
Perhaps a restructuring of the council committee system
would allow more time to be spent on education issues.
This must be attempted. The AMS has not yet reached
the stage where it is totally useless and should be destroyed, although it is very close to that pointJ
The SDU will continue to point out that the council is
more a hindrance to democracy than an aid. It is up to the
new counci I to change this.
Perhaps an indication to whether the council succeeds
wi 11 be the relative growth and strength of the SDU. Across
the country groups like the SOU are forming and gaining
strength.
They are considered a threat to our society.
It is interesting to note that groups striving for democracy should be considered a threat to a democracy.

letters to the editor

Martin Loney not heckled
Dear Sir:
I don• t know who wrote the
front-page report on the visit
of CUS President-Elect Martin
Loney to the L. . campus, but
whoever it was needs a course
in factual (and fair) reporting.
I quote:
"Of course some
came to heckl e. An administrative employee (herself an
immigrant) challenged Laney's
right to his position because
he is English".
The facts of the matter are
as follows:
I. There was no question of
"heckling". Mr. Loney had
finish ed his address and had
thrown the meeting open to
questions from the floor.
Mine was one of these ques t•
ions.
2. Although I am employed in
an administrative capacity
(bookstore manager) at ·Lakehead University, I am also a
graduate student at the University of Toronto. It was in
this latter capacity that I
addressed Mr. Loney.
Any
reporter who would pigeonhole
people in narrow categori es
without further investigation,
needs his horizons widened;
by the same token he could
have referred to Mr. Loney
himself as "a member of
Faculty", since Mr. Loney by
his own admission has been
employed in a teaching capacity at Simon Fraser.
3. I emphatically did not
challenge Mr. Loney's right
to his position on the grounds
that "he was English". I did,
however, question whether he
had enough experience as a
Canadian student in a Cana-

dian situation, after only two
years residence in Canada, to
become
president of the
Canadian Vnion of Students.
Mr , Loney has never been an
undergraduate s tudent at a
Canadian Vniversity, and has
been a graduate student here
for only a little more than a
year, during part of which he
was also engaged in teaching.
This seems hardly represent·
ative of the Canadian studentbody as a whole. I therefore
compared his rise to his pres•
entpositionto that of a British
immigrant who would aspire
to run for Prime Mini ster
after only a year's residence
in Canada. Mr. Loney th en
answered that he might jus t
do that. (Pierre Elliot Trudeau
take note. )
Next time ARGUS, tell it
like it is , ins tead of closing
your ears to what is being
said, and slanting your report
toward what you would have
liked to have heard.
Yours very truly,
Day Laban
Editor's Note: Perhaps "some
came to heckle .. was a little
strong.
However, a small
minority of Loney•s audience
attacked, on every conceivable
ground, his right to give opinions on matters relating to
Canadian students.
e.g. "What right have you
to speak for Canadian stu•
dents?"
e.g. "Why don't you listen
to the majority?"
(These
questions received
hisses and laughter from most
of the audience.)

Loney himself never claimed to speak for the majority
of Canadian students, or to
know
precisely what the
majority wanted.
However, he was overwhelmingly
elected
CVS
President-Elect
by student
representatives from universities across Canada, and as
such it is his right and duty
to represent Canadian student
interests to the best of his
ability.
would it be possible for
him to do this without ever
expressing an opinion as to
what student problems are?

Publicity
pictures
Dear Sir:
I can't help but comment on
Bob Gibson's publicity pictures in his campaign for the
position of V.P. of Academics.
I have seen portraits where
the person holds his glasses
to his lips • his coutenance
one of knowledge. I have seen
portraits where the person
holds or has a book in front
of him. I have seen portraits
where the person is pictured
in front of a wood panelled
wall.
But all three together! Can
there be any doubt that Bob
Gibson should be V.P. of
Academics.
Yours truly,
Nina Phillips

The Anders~

Sir.George Williams: is property mThe following chronicle of events of the
Anderson Affair at SGWU is part of a published
bulletin of the 'February 11th Defence Committee•.
The committee comprises concerned and
sympathetic members of the Montreal community
andaimsatprocuring justice for the ninety seven
arrested students:-

This is the other side of the story. It is told
by the people who have suffered the dirty end of
the stick. We know those guys. They are .not
madmen or savages, they are humans who demand to be treated as such.
We _aim to show how and why reasonable men
can be made to appear irrational and vicious.
And we aim to explore the reason behind the
anti-black, anti-West Indian hysteria.
The events of February 11th must not be
allowed to obscure the real issues which to us
are now clearer than ever.

April 29, 1968
All black students and one Chinese student
in Zoology431 at Sir George Williams University
approach Dean Flynn, Dean of Students, with
complaint against Professor Perry Anderson,
lecturer of the course.
Substance of Charges:
(a) discrimination against non-white students;
(b) incompetence of professor and poor
organization of classes.
(The black students have refused to release the
details of their charges until proper procedures
acceptable to all parties are set up to permit a
fair hearing.)

May 5, 1968
Meeting between complainants and Professor
Madras, Dean of Science at Sir George Williams
University. Discussion of charges. Professor
Madras concludes that there was no substance
to the charges and informs Mr. Anderson to this
effect. The complainants themselves, however,
were told nothing. They never heard the results
of this discussion until the new academic year,
SepteQ1ber 1968, when Ander.son informed them
that Madras had cleared him of the charges.
Sometime before November 20, Dean Flynn was
informed that the black students were dissatisfied with the investigation. Flynn expressed his
concern to the Principal and other members of
the university.

November 20, 1968
Dean Flynn, Professor Davis (on behalf of
complainants) and Miss Joan Richardson, an
assistant to the Dean of Foreipi Students, meet
and try to arrange a meeting to mclude representatives of complainants and administration.
Although the urgency of the situation was
stressed, administration representatives found
it impossible to make time for such a meeting.

December 5, 1968

black students were the only party to show up.

Frustrated black students v1s1t Principal
Rae demanding that Anderson be dismissed
forthwith.
Rae disclaims knowledge of the
affair, but after consultation, he proposed the
setting up of an investigatory committee. Viceprincipal Clarke proposes members of a five-man
committee. It was agreed that these names
should be acceptable to all three parties involved, that is, Anderson, the students and the
administration. The students suggested replacements for two of the proposed committee members. lhe amended list was agreed upon. At
the same time Professor Anderson asks to be
relieved of his duties.

January 18, 1969

December 12, 1968

January 21, 1969

Emergency meeting of Science Faculty
to discuss composition of committee.
The
meeting was open to students but no black
students were informed, though white students
were invited by phone. The black students got
to know of the meeting while the meeting was in
process. Incensed by the move, they disrupted
the meeting which had to be dis·continued.

Meeting of the hearing committee and black
students. Disagreement of procedure and in
particular on Anderson's right to be represented
by counsel. During the impasse students suggest that Anderson, who was not present, be
invited to join the deliberations. He refused·
to do so.

January 6, 1969
Anderson indicates his intention to resume
teaching. Vice-Principal O'Brien, in a letter to
Anderson, suggests that this would be inadvisable in view of the "potential difficulties that
may arise, including the risk of violence."
Since the complainants had not made any suggestion of violence they objected to this statement. They approached O'-Brien in his office
and demanded a retrat:tion of the statement.
O'Brien at first denied that he had made any
suggestion of violence. When he was confronted
with a copy of his letter, he signed an apology.
As a result of this incident, warrants were
issued for the arrest of three black students who
were accused of forcing O'Brien to sign the
apology by detaining him in his office.

January 10, 1969
Professor Marsden resigns from hearing
committee on the grounds of conflict of interest
between his position as a member of the hearing
committee and as president of SGWAUT (Sir
George Williams Association of University
Teachers). He asks that his replacement "should
be acceptable to the students and to Professor
Anderson in the spirit of the original agreement
on December 5th" (Marsden subsequently resigned from SGWAUT and rejoined the hearing
committee.)

January 16, 1969
Students suggest replacement for Marsden
and conditions for hearing to the -chairman of
the hearing committee but he claimed not to
have the power of decision in these matters. A
meeting with Anderson and the committee was
arranged to consider this question, but the

Security measures
Stcurity measures taken by SGWU administration for the January 26th committee hearing of
the charges against Anderson:- (Note that these were adopted at a meeting on January 25 four days before the occupation of the computer centre.)
1. The building should be sealed as of tonight.

•

2. Two plainclothes men will be at the hearing and additional men could be supplied if the
university would pay them.
3, If police reinforcements are called in, they should come in through the garage and up the
service elevator. ·Tomorrow morning the staff will lock all the doors from the 14th floor to
the basement. Our most important objective must be to protect our plant and installations.
4, There should be a plainclothes constable in the computer centre.
5. Someone from the staff should be patrolling each floor of the building.
6. A command post should be established comprising four people who would have the power to
call in outside help.
7, There would be some merit in having a plainclothes constable as a member of the command
post.

Hearing committee meets, rejects students
demands.

January 20, 1969
Hearing Committee meets with Anderson;
P,rocedures agreed on.
Students conclude,
after meeting with Professor Davis and Bayne,
that these two members of the hearing committee
are incapable of giving impartial judgement.
Replacements suggested for Davis, Bayne and
Marsden.

January 22, 1969
Professor Bayne and Davis resign from the
hearing committee because of ambiguities in the
committee's structure and function. Administration unilaterally decides to replace them
and proceed with the hearing on January 26.

January 23, 1969
Black . students refuse to accept new com•
mittee since it had been unilaterally consititued.

January 26, 196 9
Hearing begins. Black students state their
objections to participating and walk out of the
hearing. Conumttee agrees to proceed in the
absence of the complainants. Students seek
legal counsel. White students come out in
support of the complainants.

January 29, 1969
Students and theu lawyers attend committee
hearingandreiterate demands for new committee.
The committee again rejects these demands.
Students repeat walkout, but later returned to
disrupt the hearing, which adjourned for the
day i,n chaos. Computing centre occupied by
mixed group of black and white students.

January 29 - February 10, 1969
Hearing continues in camera. Students remain in occupation of computing centre, and
take over faculty lounge. Various attempts at
mediation.

February 7, 1969
Anderson resumes teaching and is temporarily
suspended as a result.

February 9, 1969
Lawyers for students and administration work
out compromise settlement, including a new
hearing committee, dropping charges against
three black students (in connection with O'Brien
incident) compensation for academic time lost
and no reprisals. Students believe that this
com.i:&gt;romise will be signed inmrediately and prepare to leave computing centre.

February 10, 1969
A day of frustration for occupation forces.
The written agreement expected from the administration failed to materialize. The matter was
referred to the Sir George William Association
of University Teachers by the administration
(the reason is not apparent); this body advised
that the agreement be rejected and submitted a
counter-proposal. It is unclear on what grounds
the administration decided to accept SWGAUT's
advice. The students, who accepted that the
negotiations were closed were unaware of what
was going on 1D1til they were informed around
midnight on Febcuary 10, that the compromise
was rejected.

�argus, march 6, 1969, page 7

son affair

1ore important than human rights?
These two pages were compiled by Winston Rennie, ARGUS
associate editor, who spent two weeks in Montreal following the
destruction of the Sir George Williams computer centre.

Police supposedly
kept their cool
The Montreal Gazette, a
part of Canada's complex of
faithful
news media printed
the following:
"The bloodbath that many
feared yesterday
afternoon
turned into a fine moment for
the Montreal Police Department.
"Throughout the entire
arrest period, the police acted
strictly according to the book
and appeared determined to
avoid any cause for charges
of police brutatity."
And the public responded
with numerous compliments to
the police for their cool, nonbrutal and efficient flushing
out of the "criminals".
Let us look closer at the
basis for this praise.
A riot squad is only called
into action when a situation
has reached a point in violence
th.at is beyond the capabilities
of the regular police. They
are fully armed men, prepared
to injure or be injured.
The administration called
the police on campus before
any damage was done to the
computers. This action, calling
the police, clearly provoked
the eruption.
According to the Gazette,
police moved into the building
about 4:30 a.m. and came back
out quietly about 1:15 p.m.
with 97 arrested students.
What happened in the interim of nine hours?
We are led to believe that
these students are extremely
dangerous people who con•
spired, proceeded to wreck the
computer centre with axes, and
attempted to bum the building
down, knowing they had locked
and barricaded themselves in
the room. Was this supposed
to be a massive suicide attempt?
In the same breath the
police
say they walked into
this den of criminals who were
brandishing axes, and quietly
placed them under arrest.
After praising the non-brutal
actions of police the Gazette
reported
"police smashed
windows in the two rooms to
drive back the spreading smoke.
The militants were kept in the
cold rooms for more than
three hours while waiting to be
fingerprinted and photographed."
Students reported some of
them had no cQats or shirts•when one student complained
of the cold a wet blanket was
thrown over his back--another
was made to lie on the floor
in cold water.
Students told of indecent
searching of girls, being
beaten with batons and pistolwhipped, being kicked and
knocked against walls. They
described brandished pistols

and attempts to force some of
them back into the fire.
The students said police
entered the room once, looked
around, took the odd axe, and
left, bolting the back door
from the outside; they returned
for the attack.
The police were certainly
not attempting to reason with
the students. Nor was the
administration who called them.
The students are being
charged with conspiracy. It
might prove interesting to
study the whole issue to determine for yourself where the
true conspiracy lies.

Arrested students were identified and fingerprinted in the basement of the Hall Building before being taken downtown to station one in a convoy of eight paddywagons and
three cars.

Racism exposed in Canada
by Winston Rennie
Canadians have long been living
in a fool's paradise.
Behind the flimsy curtain of non•
racism and equal opportunities for
all types, they refuse to be equated
in this aspect to their North American neighbours.
This is their
international image. It is therefore
understandable that they would try
desperately through devious means
to keep the lxand of racism from any
disturbance to their pure society.
The Anderson Affair has shattered this curtain and exposed what
really existed behind it.
I deliberately refer here to the
'Anderson Affair' and not the 'Sir
George Williams University Affair'
as it is now being termed. The
latter implies an entirely different
thing. It clouds people's minds to
the real issue - turning it away completely from Perry Anderson and
the messy case of racism in Canada's clean society.

False picture
Further, it 1.-ings to the forefront the matter of two million
dollars worth of damage and a
supposed attempt at arson. The
events and subtle provocation that
led to this situation are dismissed
as irrelevant. This false picture
shows ninety seven above-average
students as being seasoned criminals who deliberately conspired to
disrupt the society by doing unforgiveable damage to its heart •
where its property lies.
One of the accused was actually
described by a lawyer as an "ex-

tremely dangerous person" who
should not be allowed to be free in
the streets of Montreal.
But they know that to the world
this is pretty difficult to accept.
It was therefore necessary for the
whole concern to be placed in a
·wider and more political framework.
Communism, Socialism, Maoism,
Black Power, Black Panther - all
these already established evils to
clean western society have been
cited as the roots of the events of
February 11th at SGWU.
The cry now is for foreign students to take the education they are
receiving in Canada and keep them·
selves quiet.
But this .is no hand-out to the
needy. Every foreigner who comes
to Canada to study pays through the
nose for his education. This gives
him the right to have a meaningful
say in what he's getting for his
money.
It would be interesting to make a
statistical study of the contribution
of foreign students to the economy
of this country.

Canadians must re-evaluate
Canadia11s refuse to accept that
what is needed is a close re-exami-.

nation and re-evaluation of their
society.
--that the only 'ism' behind the
current issue at SGWU is racism,
which-exists here in a more danger•
ous manner than in the U.S.
--that racism also manifests itself
here in the continued exploitation
of the French in Quebec and the
Indians.
--that the bombs exploding so
frequently in Montreal are not the

actions of any outside political
circle, but that of frustrated and
dissatisfied citizens.
--that they cannot continue to
tease the bull, commit disguised
acts of violence on its person and
expect it to kneel in submission.
--that their system of educaition
needs remodelling and redefining.
Canada, you are sick.
As Cleaver called on America,
I now call on you, Canada, to swallow and digest these facts or hope
in the convulsions of your stomach
you vomit up the cancer of selfdishonesty and hate that is eating
away your insides.
It is necessary brothers wci
sisters, to understand and tell
the people about the deliberate and
unethical manipulation of facts
and situations by the SGWU administration that brought the whole
issue to its present situation.
Let them know that even before
the occupation of the computer
centre the. administration had already prophesied that there would
be violence. Why the extensive
security measures for the January
26th hearing of charges against
Anderson? They seemed to know
the exact outcome of the whole
sitnation would be ..
The students were backed into
a comer, led to believe that their
proposals would be accepted, and
then double-crossed and -set upon
by violent men waving batons.
They were railroaded and fucked.
This is nasty business. Canada
is now beginning to show its true
nature.
The highest degree of
solidarity among us is necessary
to fight this thing. The fight has
only just started.

by defeating the hometown
Brandon U. Bobcats 85-67,
but were beaten by the Minot

COOCH'S CORNER
by Larry Hebert
Congratulations to the intercollegiate curling team for their
win in the OIAA championship.
The phys. ed. course will definitely be instituted at Lakehead
next year. It will be the first year of the course and it is open
to both men and women.
Phil Fury is the "horse" champ of the basketball team.
Dennis Portman is wrestling champion while Gordie Walford has
been voted as "Locksmith of the year."
The table tennis team also gave our school another intercollegiate championship along with fencing. Congratulations.
Bruce Brymer is the intramural squash champion.
Congratulations to the fans of the Nor'Wester teams this year
who have given so much support to our athletic programs.
Plans for the new field house include a pool, 4 squash courts,
a lounge for about 400 people and locker room facilities for about
200 people.
It seems that Hank Akervall has beaten Dr. John Whitfield in
handball several times: it would seem that Henry would be
faculty champ.
Arts II, III, IV (defending champs) will play Forestry this
Sunday for the intramural Broomhall championship.
The Cheerleaders certainly deserve praise for their fine
spirit this year.

Girls win b-ball invitational
L.U. Girls Basketball Team
were the unexpected victors in
an invitational B•Ball tournament at the University of
Minnesota at Duluth, February
22.
In the first round of the day
L. U. met Wisconsin State and
defeated them 34-22. The game
was very close from the open·
ing whistle, with the lead fre•
quently
changing
hands.
The top scorer in the game
was Glenis Holmes with 18
points.
WSC stayed in the
collapsing
zone
allowing
Glenis to hit with her jump
shot from close in. The balanceof the scoring was evenly
split throughout the team with
all the girls putting out a
strong two-way effort.
With barely an hour's rest
between games, Lakehead met
the highly touted UMD team on
their home court. UMD started

with a court press to tire the
already weary blue and white.
Lakehead retaliated with a
strong defensive game. The
score at the quarter was 6-5
and 9-8 at the half for L.U.
The closely fought game
went into overtime with L.U.
outshooting UMD for a 33-27
margin and victory.
The second game, with
UMD double teaming Glenis
Holmes, allowed Judy Perlin
to work in close to hoop 12
points, tops for both teams.
Gail Amort drove two fast
buckets to demoralize the
opposition. It also forced UMD
to foul in order to gain possession of the ball. UMD' s
strategy failed as LU. made

away their victory.

Ken Boshcoff also served
on the Orientation committee
which will make orientation
next year more participatory
f0r all concerned. In addition
he is a member of the Media
Committee which is attempting
to make LUST a more relevant
part of campus life.
As a
delegate to the OUS policymaking conference Ken became well acquainted with the
pertinentissuse at universities
today.

Ron Baker
I am currently Editor of the
ARGUS. I feel my position
has given me some insight into
student affairs. I am also an
honorary member of AMS Coun•
cil and the University Committee.
I think there is an urgent
need for the university to reevaluate the learning process.
I do not believe that a student
oriented re-evaluation will
come from the administration
or from the faculty.
Therefore I feel the most
important work to be done is
tohelp students organize themselves so that they can gain
more control over their edu·
cational environment.
Student government is where
the work must begin.

Ray Hunt feels that the
time has come for the AMS
Council to stop being a debating club for a small group of
students at Lakehead University. The students have shown
by their performance at the
last election that they do care.
Ray has been an interested
spectator at several AMS
meetings, and wants to add his
efforts to Council. He also
plays varsity hockey for the
Nor'Westers.
Ray Hunt wants to work
towards making the Council a
cohesive force working for the
good of the campus body as a
whole and not the political
aspirations of a few.

Val Dennison
Val Dennison stands for
concerned representation on
AMS Council. She has, in the
past, been an outspoken critic
of .Council, while actively
working with LUST to further
communication between Council and the student body.
Val Dennison supports CUS
and its policies. She believes
in a progressive
student
Council, and will do her best
to bring about constructive
changes at Lakehead Univer•
sity.

Ken Boshcoff
Ken B.Qshcoff, the first
year Arts councillor, is seeking re-election on a platform
of progressive student activism
and involvement. A member
of the Senate Judicial Sub·
Committeedealingwith appeals
from students on academic
questions.
On the AM~ he
served on the Wages Comm1 ttee
which succeeded in lowering
the total wages being paid to
members of the executive,
thereby saving over a thousand
dollars in fees paid by students.
As chairman of the
Course Evaluation Committee
he was responsible for the
decision against course evalu·
ations as wasteful (money-wise)
and useless (student-wise).
As an alternative, course
union structures are now being
planned whereby students will
have a larger say in determin-

often because justification for
criticism was definitely there.
However, the council has tried
to do its best and I feel that if
enough qualified and interested
councillors get elected this
Friday, it could be a great
year for the AMS.
The AMS council has been
criticized as a small clique
of people not really interested
in the rest of the student body.
In other words, there has
been a communications breakdown.
To a certain extent
this is true, and I feel that
this can be alleviated to a
certain extent, by the better
use and improvement of Lake,
head University Student Television. This year's council
has already begun to act on
this, and things should really
get cracking next year.
Concerning my stand on the
Senate, I feel we should ac·
cept seats on the Senate, regardless of number, but only
when the Senate has been
opened to the students, at
least in a parliamentary sense,
in that they would be able
to observe the proceedings.

Simon Hoad
Simon Hoad, a third year
Arts student, has for the past
two years had a great interest
in Council affairs, and served
part of that time as a councillor. And as an Argus staff
member he has gained an insight. into some of the background workings of this university.
Simon Hoad believes that a
councillor should act as an
elected opinion, not as a passive sponge.
A councillor
must have the courage to vote
for and to defend issues he
believes in.
Greater participation in all
levels of university affairs,
such as open Senate meetings
will be high on Simon Hoad' s
priorities.
Simon Hoad is always ready
to represent student views.

Michael Gravelle
I was eiected AMS arts
councillor in September of
1968 and since then have been
active on the cafeteria, honor·
aria,
wages, and academics
committees. In late November
I was appointed to the University Committee, which I
feel can and will be an excellent source of communication between the students
and
the
administration.
In the past year, the AMS
has been frequently criticized,

Ray Hunt

Student progress and integrity are my aims; how I reach
my goals depends upon the
circumstances of the issue.
However, considering the past
phases of the AMS activity,
I would venture to admit that
such pursuits as I have mentioned are vital and access able.
Though many policies of
the AMS have been remarkably
constructive and appreciable
such as continued membership
in CUS, a few of its undertakings on the other hand hav.e
been utter failures, for example, its inability to do
what was necessary in Mike
Barkwell's case. Also the
parking facilities payment had
-not been justified: many students appear to use the same
facilities even without buying
the parking ticket. This is
injustice to the students who
attempt to live lawfully and
abide by the regulations.
While accepting the imperfect nature of man, I however would work in such deficient areas and try to minimize the unecessary losses
and injustice to the student
body in general. Nonetheless
my attempt to resolve such
problems all by myself or with
limited members of AMS including other student club executive members on campus
would be nothing but de•
feat of my purposes, therefore
•I would seek for a vast and
vigorous student participation
in tackling our difficuhies.
Whether I happen to be a
councillor or not, I will make
an active contribution towards
building an effective and c_on·
structive student community.
Finally I urge you all to
support me for the councillor
position on our AMS body. I
hope to be of some service to
Lakehead.

John MacGregor_
My name is John MacGregor,
I'm 25, in Arts II, and I'd
like to represent you in AMS
council.
I have been News Editor
for the Argus for the past year,
which has given me a better
than average picture ofwhat
is going on, the personalities
of those pulling the strings,
and how to get things done for
the students in the system.
I've attended more AMS
meetings than certain of the
councillors(which is not really
too hard) and it's apparent
that a good many things will
have to be improved.
One of these things is the
amount of work done. I promise to put as much time and
work into AMS as I have put
into the Argus, and I promise
to do it all the year round; not
just in September.
There are a few other
things I'd like to see us work
towards.
AMS pays out about $3,000
in wages to students (proctors,
returning officers, honoraria
etc.) and I'll work to see that
it is spread out a bit more
evenly.
We definitely should have
students on the Senate; but we
must not fool ourselves into
channeling all our efforts in
this direction. The real descision-making that effects students is done on the Departmental Committees and the
Senate Sub-committees. This
is where we should strive to
get students.

I am politically oriented as

running for this office because

I want to help make this a
university of which no one
could ever again say that the
students seem like delegates
to a farmers' convention.
Most importantly, I want to
see students consulted about
their needs on all course
changes and more student
participation on all committees
and especially on an open
Senate.

- Arts candidates continued

and I hope that the student
body will show a positive
interest, not only in these
elections, but in student
activities throughout the coming year.
Remember -- you will get
the Council you deserve.

Doug Smart (Arts II) has a
good view of what is involved
in AMS Council and $tudent
affairs in general. He campaigned actively in support
of Dennis Wallace in the
recent Presidential election.
As an ARGUS reporter he has
attended almost every council
meeting this year and has also
reported on many other issues
during the year.
Because of the long working hours on the ARGUS, Doug
has shown his willingnessto
devote time to student affairs.
The. time can now be shifted
more directly into AMS needs.
He sees one of the major
priorities of the new council

\

as prep~ring a brief on Senate
openess so that this can be
achieved and we can then
accept the offer of Senate
seats.
The restructuring of AMS
committees and the establishment of priorities is also a
major concern.
Doug sees student representation on the departmental
committees as the best means
at present for student participation in the decision making process.
The major. responsibility
of a councillor is to see that
the rights of the students are
protected.

During the past year, I have

Donna Pace
Donna Pace (Arts 11) transferred to Lakehead this year
from the University of Western
Ontario where she was Minister
of External Affairs in the
student government.
Donna was actively involved
in the Native Indian Culture
Seminar held here inDecember.
She was also chosen Winter
Carnival Queen this year.
One of Donna's major
interests in the AMS is Orien·
tation Week which she feels
should be a major event of the
year. This would require a
great deal of planning and
work, but would get the year
off to the right start.
Donna is also concerned
with community and society
problems which led to her
involvement in the Indian
Seminar.

For the past year I have
served as a councillor of the
Students Athletic O)uncil as
well as being the Vice-President of the University Schools
Society. Over the year, however, I have found that my
interests have been concen•
trated on athletics.
As S.A.S. President, I
would be able to put my interest in athletics to the best
use.
Over the past year I
have found a number of problems with the intra-mural
program and with the use of
the students athletic fees.
There is a definite need
for better communication between the council and the student body. Many of the stu·
dents are not made aware of
many of our intra-mural activities. I would give my utmost
attention to this problem in an
attempt to improve the situation. For example, I would
like to see a weekly events
calendar printed listing all
athletic events, intra-mural or
other.
In the past as well, there
has been very little co-ordination between the athletic
department and the council.
I feel that the athletic budget
should be discussed with

Ron Hiller
As an active member of
this year's S,A,S. council I
have seen athletics take a
major step toward becoming an
integral part of the University
Community, and it is my sincere hope that it will continue
to provide more students with
recreation, entertainment, and
competition.
This can only
come about through the efforts
of an energetic S.A.S. working
in conjunction with a competent
Athletic Department.
If elected President of
S.A.S. I will provide ample
opportunity for more students
to learn and participate in the
sports of their choice by pro•
viding clini'cs, tournaments

and facilities. The scheduling
and planning of these intramural and service sports would
be done during the summer so
the student will be presented
with a complete schedule and
information about all the sports _
being offered when he or she
registers.
A separate athletic handbook will be published fOF
women and a greater effort
will be made to encourage
women to participate in ath•
letics.
I will also place a greater
emphasis on intramural and
Varsity participation in tennis,
gymnastics, track and field,
soccer, weightlifting, wrestling, badminton and football
so that they may share the
success of our basketball,
curling,
squash, handball,
sailing, hockey, table tennis,
skiing, swimming, fencing,and
golf.
I will provide communication between the student
and the S.A.S. by publishing a
monthly
newsletter
which
would contain a summary of
the month's athletic events
and the athlete of the month
and
a schedule of upcoming
games, intramural and varsity,
and any clinics to be held.
Make sure there is a sport
for every student and vote Ron

dents from the University
Schools know what is going on
in Council. He has no set
views, preferring to judge
issues individually. He wants
to see what the students want,
and to be able to discuss
issues with them and the
other councillors.

Albert Au
I am a second year Commerce Student.
The first thing I would
like to stress is the import·
ance of a hard-working coun~
cillor who will communicate
with the students. As their
representative, he should be
the bridge between students
and AMS. During my past two
years in University Schools,
however, nobody came to us
and told us what was going on
in AMS Council. To most of
us, the AMS seems to be remote
and
inaccessible.
If elected, I will try my
best to communicate with
everyone in the University
Schools, keep them informed,
find out what their grievances
are, then give them a voice in
the AMS Council.
Secondly, as one who has
worked for students in other
countries, I can help with new
ideas that may be of service
here too.
During the past two years,
I have held the position of
Social Director of the Chinese
Students Association and the
Treasurer of the International
Students Organization at Lakehead.
I have. attended the
AMS Council meetings during
the past months, supported
by the President in his successful campaign, and am
most willing to work with the
AMS executive in the future.

Darlene Cymbalisty
As a member of the University Schools Council I am able
to see that certain changes
are needed in both AMS Council and the University Schools
Council. Much of the councillors time is spent in petty
beckering with the end result
that nothing is accomplished.
I believe that this year's
executive is an extremely good
one and is interested in doing
as much as possible for the
students of this university.
Therefore they need a good
Council that will support the
executive and whiich will instiitute changes if necessary.
In the past two years the
University Schools faculty has
indeed proven itself.
Its
spirit is equal to Arts and has
far exceeded Science. This
year can even be a better year
for University Schools if the
faculty has a good representa•
tive on Council. From my experience in the University
School Council, Winter Carnival Committee, Senate SubCommittee, and as an active
member of LUNA, I feel that
I can ably represent this
faculty in the AMS Council.

Janet Hamer
This past year I served as
office manager for the AMS
and was also on the cafeteria
committee.
If you re-elect me to AMS
Council, I plan to devote my
time to the re-organization of
LUST (Lakehead University
Student Television).
This
university has all the television facilities to offer the
students, and it is up to us to
use them effectively.
I feel the AMS Council
should be a sti:ong, represent•
ative body speaking for the
majority of the students. Any
questions you may have can
be directed to me.

John Drew
John Drew lives in Port
Arthur and is in second year
business at Lakehead University. He plans to go on to the
Honors Bachelor of Commerce
course after completing the
diploma program.
John feels he can be an
asset to both the AMS Council
and the University. He has
some good opinions about the
major issues concerning ~e
Council and knows that his
views and ideas are along the
lines of most of the newlyelected executive.
He is
looking forward to being of
service to his fellow students.

Jack Tallon

During the past two years
at Lakehead University I have
recognized that students are
questioning society in a manner never seen before in
history. Since the AMS is our
governing body, I believe it
has a function to fulfill iJl
aiding us as students to find
answers to our problems.
I believe students serve a
useful function in today's
civilization in that they are
requiring society to look at
itself.
It is with this belief that
I have made my decision to
run as a candidate for Council.
I hope to represent the students to the best of my ability
and together make Lakehead
University a better university
in the future.

Jack Tallon

I feel that the function of
an AMS councillor is to represent, to the best of his
ability, the ideas and hopes
of the students who elect him.
After serving as a member of
the University Schools Council
for the past year, I find that
my views are very representa·
tive of the students in this
faculty. As an AMS councillor,
I will serve the interests of
the students in University
Schools.
As for the AMS itself, Ii feel
councillors are needed who are
willing to take on the responsibility involved.
At the
meetings that I have attended
in the past year, it was evident that many of the councilors did not take their jobs
seriously, and as a result,
muchCouncil time was wasted.
My political views are
neither radical nor staunchly
conservative. A progressive
council is needed, one which
can see the benefits as well
as the drawbacks of change
and which has the courage,
where changes will be of
advantage to the student, to
carry them out.
Having been a student at
Lakehead for three years,
and active on the executive of
the
Lakehead
University
Nursing
Assoc1auon,
and
Winter Carnival, and a councillor on University Schools
Council, I am confident that I
am capable of representing University Schools on the AMS
Council.

In an unprecedented action, the LAKEUNIVERSITY FACULTY ASSOCIATION
rejected completely a move by the
..Ad!ninistration to replace all Departmental Secretaries with a Secretarial
Pool.
HEAD

In a hastily arranged Association
meeting two resolutions regarding the
Administration's actions were drafted
&amp; passed unanimously. The resolutions
read as follows: "THIS ASSOCIATION

VEPLORES ANV WILL NOT ACCEPT ANY REORGANIZATION OF ITS SECRETARIAL STAFF
WITHOUT FACULTY CONSULTATION ANV APPROVAL." and "THIS ASSOCIATION, MINVFUL OF THE RESPONSIBILITIES WHICH THE
UNIVERSITY HAS TO THE COMMUNITY, ANV

At the time of the move, only secretaries in the Faculty of Science were
affected &amp; the Arts Secretaries have
not received any orders towards reorganization.
Dean Hart, the only official of the
Administration on campus at the time,
due to the absence of Dean Ryan, Dr.
Braun and President Tamblyn, was not
available for comment at press time.

Speaking for the Executive, AMS Council President, Peter McCormack, said,

After several recent meetings between
representatives of the Faculty Association &amp; the Administration, the conflict has not yet been altogether resolved with the Science Secretaries
still in the secretarial pool &amp; their
positions of Departmental Secretaries
temporarily re-established. All negotiations over the matter have been
postponed until the return of President Tamblyn in September.

residence at Lakehead University.
In this connection, Mr. David Morgan,
Lakehead University Director of Finance, announced a scheme to find
suitable housing off-campus for these
students until the residence complex
is ready. The administration, through
Mr. Morgan, has approached the Faculty Wives' Association to organize a
campaign aimed at Faculty and Administration staff in the hopes that
some of these students can find adequate acconnnodations with them.
In addition, all parents of local
students will be contacted and asked
if they could poss_ibly house a• student until Christmas. If these two
groups cannot acconnnodate all the
students, then an· appeal will be made
to the Lakehead Service Clubs.
The present appeal being made for additional housing is independent of
the Student Housing Bureau as accommodations for these students are only
required until the Christmas break.

changed to a Student-Faculty Lounge.
In a meeting

the following week, re-

presentatives of the Council &amp; Calude
Smith, Director of Planning and Plant
Operations, came to an agreement over
the dispute. It was decided that a
trail period of one month would be allotted to the sch.eme. and, if after
that time, the students were·still
dissatisfied, the facilities would be
removed.
When speaking about the change, Mr.
Smith said: "The decision wasn't made
lightly. Every aspect of the university is going to be jeopardi~ed by
the lack of facilities." He went on
to say that the cafeteria would be ...
the hardest hit.
Increased enrollment and construction
delays have apparently caused a lack
of space for many planned facilities
o~ campus. But when asked if the cafeteria problem was related to the recent construction strikes, Mr. Smith
said, "It was never planned that the
extention to the University Centre
housing a 700 seat cafeteria and 400
seat dining room, would be completed
for this school·-year." He also stated
that even if the strikes hadn't occurred, the new residence halls wouldn't have been completed for September as
scheduled.
The main area of contention ~ith the
Students was the fact that they were
not consulted by the Administration,
when the plan was decided upon. Dennis Wallace, AMS Director of Finance,
said, "It would seem that the University Administration considers itself
sole judge in all matters surrounding
the University and neither Faculty or
Students are consulted when
any
chang._es are being made."

Tom McLeod, 23 and Arts lV student
Lakehead University, died suddenly
Monday, August 19.
At the time
his death, Tom was working as a management trainee for Simpson-Sears at
the Intercity Plaza.
Born in Halifax, Nova Scotia, son
Mr. and Mrs. Fulton McLeod,
Tom attended school in North Bay until the
the family moved to the Lakehead in
1961. H~ was a graduate . of Fort William Collegiate Institute and then
received his B.A. in History and English from Lakehead in 1967. He was
working towards his Masters degree at
t~e time of his death.
Actively involved ~n student affairs
during his four years here, Tom.was
the Vice-President of the Arts Soc·eity 1966-67, and he received the
President's Medal for his efforts in
the Proctor Force the same year. His
interest in photography lead him to
work ·on both the Argus and the yearbook over the past years as well.
_Perhaps best known for his work as
the Chief Proctor over the past year,
Tom was known and respected
fair and friendly man by the
stuc;lent body.
He is survived by his wife Joanna and
son Robert F., age one,• at home; his
parents Mr. and Mrs. Fulton McLeod
and sister Anne, of 512 Brown St.,
Fort William; uncles, aunts,
and
other relatives.
The deepest sympathy of all students, faculty and
staff members of the University goes
to the bereaved family at this difficult time. Tom was-a fine man;
was our friend we shall miss him.

�SEATS ON COUNCIL: U of T
'
The University
of Toronto has offered
the Students Administrative Council
seats on the President's Council as
part of a new policy to involve students in university government.
The offer was made during a private
meeting between U of T President
Claude Bissell and student leaders in
mid July and is being considered by
student leaders.
The Administration source said (Aug.
6) no mention was made in the offer
of how many seats students would occupy, or whether the body would begin
meeting publicly instead of in closed
session.
Students elected to the SAC will meet
this weekend to discuss policy for
next year, and SAC Education Commissioner Andrew Wernick said he expects
the council seats to be a major issue.
Student President Steven Langdon fav-

ours accepting the seats because they
will provide a platform for student
views, but Mr Wernick calls the offer
"a policy of divide &amp; conquer because
the council won't have any power
as
long as the Board of Governors exists
and ·tnakes the real decisions."
"We
would just waste our time and help
foster the illusion that the President's Council really decides things."

series of public meetings this fall;
the deadline for submissions is Nov.
30. Professor D.F. Forster,. executive
assistant to President Bissell, said
the committee of ten was formed three
months ago to review and redefine the
proper limits of the university jurisdiction and to advise the president
on whether the existing machinery is
adequate.

Mr. Langdon said he would favour ac~
cepting the seats "if council stops
meeting in secret and if we can get
equal representation with the faculty.
But I agree with Mr. Wernick that the
council is really irrelevant; it's
not in a position to change the university."

Discipline at the university is controlled by CAPUT, which Prof. Forster
said has long been recognized as inadequate, and which Dr. Bissell has
called "calcified".
The Caput includes the university president, the
provost,heads of constituent colleges
and federated universities, deans of
faculties &amp; the warden of Hart House.
The provincial University Act empowers Caput to expel, suspend, impose
fines or recommend the withholding of _
degrees, diplomas &amp; academic standing

The University also yesterday invited
students &amp; the public to submit written briefs to an advisory
committee
that is reviewing disciplinary procedures. The briefs will be heard at a

Realizing the fact that the average
Lakehead University student has no
balls, a group of individuals should
form a Student Apathy Club (S.A.C.).
Although the club would have the largest membership on campus (90% of the
student body), it would probably be
disbanded when any member had the audacity to show up for a meeting. Such
a move would constitute subversion.

REVOLUTIONARY COMMUNE

Within universities, change can occur
at many levels. One of the important
places is the classroom. Students,
both radical and straight, come to
the university in the fall, and after
some agony and deliberation, register.
They find themselves in classes where
they have little say in policy decisions. After a few attempts to
change the class, individuals sink in
to apathy and perform more or less as
they are expecte~ to.
There is a method by which students
can break this pattern. Before registration, students of a radical
persuation should get together and,
after consideration
of
variables,
which only they can determine, the
group should all register
for
the
same course. Now during the first few
weeks of the course they will be in a
position to have their proposals considered.
There will be side benefits from this
arrangement as well. Less books will
have to be purchased. Study partners
will be more readily available. Rides
to class may be more easily obtained.
One of the important things to remember when following this course of
action is that group members must
work together. They must not get sucked into the individualist competition

•

come to an understanding of this principle. If they are unable to do this
they will have an indication, for
themselves, that they are playing •
games, not working for serious change
within the university.

THE

ol der scene
Late in 1965 the SDS had its first
test "under fire" and its biggest
break. Vietnam was becoming a source
of ir.rnediate concern and, in particular, draft avoidance was getting to be
respectable among liberal and radical
intellectuals. An offhand remark (sns

It remained, though, principally a
student group and , the major issues
were resistance to the Vietnam War
and the student movement orr campus -Berkeley, Chicago, Columbia. "Socialism" and such is largely irrelevant
to SDS, though it speaks of revolution
and the new society. Participatory democracy is both the principal aim and
the principal tactic of the group.
0rganization is valued --- attempts
were made to organize welfare recipients (Chicago) -- Blacks (Newark) -Appalachians (Chica90) -- migratory
workers (California} -- students
(everywhere). Except for the student
most of the efforts were futile. It
is on the campuses that SDS has its
greatest relevance and·its greatest
success.
SDS has probably passed its peak as
of this date, though it is still quit
viable. Faction fighting has begun to
appear at its conventions and perhaps
SDS will repeat the YPSL demise. As
for the "New Left" in general, it is
hard to say where it is going. Young
disaffil.iates who, three years ago,
would have been involved in SDS are
now smoking grass and listening to
Acid Rock. Their confrontation with
the establishment is on a personal
level -- they seem even less "political" than SDS.

STUDENT OUTBREAKS IN STATES
,.
SHOWN INSTIGATED BY COMMIES
reprinted from the

Fort William Times_-Joumal

AS STUDENTS OF UNIVERSITY AFTER
university in the United States
joined in the wave 0 ~ u~rest, ~~monstrations and rioting during
the first half of this year, the
uproar bore all the appearances of
a spontaneous rebellion against
things the way they are. As a result, a great deal of soul-searching has been going on thr~ugh~ut
the nation. Educators, ed1tor1al
writers, the clergy, politicians
and others felt constrained to examine the outbreak of dissatisfaction, to dissect it and discover
the causes.
But, what really started the trouble? It was revealed on saturday
that a small group, organized as
the Students for a Democratic Society, sparked the !ebellions in
the various colleges.
And one of
the leaders in an interview said,
"capitalism must go."
He talked
of his organization spreading offcampus and creating a class-conscious revolutionary socialist movement.
So it's out.
Those who guessed
that the demonstrations and takeover of university properties were
organized and encouraged by com-

July 18, 1968

munists are proven right. In the
field of higher education, the
boring-in. tactics of the world
communists were carried out with
some success right in the heart of
the largest free-enterprise country.
A further guess may be made
that the communist cell organizers
received many an assist from a few
sympathetic members
of faculty
staffs.
A few years· ago, when Khruschev
was in a belligerent mood he told
the Americans
that
communists
would bury them.
Many of our
neighbours laughed then at the
very thought of the prediction.
Yet in 1968, a small detachment of
communists is able to operate a
cell to disrupt seriously a key
element of the American citizenry.
More to the point, though, is that
communist agitators found thousands of students in a receptive
mood.
They were able to play on
their aversion to the fighting in
East Asia, on existing radical
dislikes,
on unrest among the
young created by an affluent society, and the modern day permissiveness among the young.

Sir:
The people love peace and liberty, and enjoy those to the ~ull.
All of them are so diligent,
honest and sympathetic· to the
poor. Nothing is cruel and miserable there. This is the country, Canada, in my dream from my
childhood. Now, I as an adult,
know well that your nation does
the very best as a leader of the
world, and I have been feeling
ve~y close to you, and yet I am
gding to write this appealing
letter for your help. I keenly
feel it is very shameless deed

but I cannot help appealing to
help save my children. I
do
hope you would be kind enough to
read this and the enclosed brochure of my work, though you are
in the busy time.
I am a woman who runs a tiny vocational school, and now I am in
a woeful plight. At a crisis of
closing the school, I can hardly
get to sleep at night with my
better anxiety if they would run
away to be beggars or·thieves -on
the st~eets again. I used up
all my personal funds to build
the present two rooms and run
the school until today. I have
no regular income, and my school
isn't associated with any church
&amp; I get no financial assistance
from religious organizations.

...

I

believe we are the same sons
daughters of God transcending
the colour &amp; the board, and the
same members trying to build the
world of peace and goodwill. So
I can appeal to help from you .
&amp;

...

The pen is mightier than the
sword. Won't you wield a facile
pen so that your students may
participate in helping
these
poor ones? I entreat you again
that my school will be affiliated with your college and my
children will get your help and
friendship. Any help from you
will be welcomed by the children
and even a cent contributed will
make them smile happily and fill
them with hope in the successful
future. If this appeal would be
brought to your stodent council
and they could raise subscriptions, it will be of great help
to save my children from .the extreme difficulties.
If you want any more information
of our school please communicate

tator to a sport. People do not really learn to make
choices in school. I think it's pard to overstate the importance of this. You go to school for all th~se years 12 - and then college and then graduate school and you're
re denied the opportunity to make serious cp~ices.
WATSON: What could the student be choosing?

WATSON: Jerry, in your article you said that the student
is a slave. What are the components of a student's slavery?

FARBER: Take my department - English. Our curriculum
spells out in small detail what the student takes. We require so ·many number units for the English major, and we
tell them what to take, course by course. Even the electives have to be approved by a departmental advisor.
When the student enters my college he has to take what we
call 'general educational requirements'.
They are somebody's idea of what a well rounded person is. He does
that. Nobody asks him: - Vo you. wa.n:t to be well ILou.nded?
Nobody says: Vo you. wa.n:t .to be a. lop.61..ded mu,.lca.l gen-i..tu,?
Vo IJOU wa.n:t to .ta.ke 1so_u.n.ltli 06 Phy.6-i.ch? Vo {/OU. ILea.Uy
wa.n:t ""to .ta.ke M,i.c/r.o-lUology? They just assume that because
they run him through these courses, he is . therefore going
to 'be a modern western man. But I think he becomes a person who hates school, who doesn't see its relevance, who
goes to classes because he's told to go to classes , who
shuffles through with the slave demeanor playing the
game, trying to get the degree.
Most students at my school are very cynical and very open
about this. They are aware that if they want to get an
education they really have to scratch for it in school &amp;
probably they're going to get it outside school and that
may be incompatible with their getting the degree. But
they want what most people want, the degree, the problem
is to put on Mr. Charlie, to put on the slave-master, to
do what he tells you, tell him what he wants to hear, do
his silly requirements, smile at him and get through, and
then be on your own.
But I think it is a delusion to assume that you can spend
16 years in school and then decide to be your own man.
You've been wearing a mask all the time, you take it off
and it won't come off.
WATSON: You've done it. You've been -a student. Was J.
Farber a nigger?
FARBER: Sure, I believed in grades so badly if I got an
instead of an A I lost sle~p over it. I went to UCLA and
I was there to please my teachers. By the time I got into UCLA, I stopped caring too much. I spent most of my
time on the student paper. But my slavish attitude resUIDed in graduate school when I really did prefer, for
professional reasons, to please the people.
WATSON: Are you still a nigger?
FARBER: I'm a transitional figure. I've come out of one
thing and I'm trying to start another. It's a very exciting position to be in, but it is also very awkward: you
have to pay very, heavy dues when you make that transition.
Imagine an age ·_ our age - where you're coming out of one
sexual morality i.nto another. The people who are making
the change have special problems, because they have to
contend with what was put in their head by the old one &amp;
they're trying to create the new one. The kids

FARBER: I think to approach that you have. to ask what it
means for a.person to be a nigger rather than a Negro or
a black person. To be a slave, or to be a nigger, means
not only that you are exploited, that you've been treated
unjustly, that you're being discriminated against, but
that you accept it; you accept the role, you're willing
to go along with it, you'll play the part. That's why the ·
student is not just oppressed or downtrodden, but has
that slave mentality --- a sort of obliging, ingratiating
surface &amp; a kind of stubborn refusal to co-operate underneath. The student, as I see him, is put in a position
where the main thing he learns is to follow orders, now,
and I have my doubts about how much else he learns, particularly when you consider the time he spends in school.
You don't learn that much for those 12 dreary years, but
the one thing you do learn, as I can tell from my freshmen students at college, is to do what you're told.
If I were to ask my students to do some silly thing, to
go to the library and pick ten books off the shelf
and
write down the first word in each book and then write the
words backwards or something, they'd do it -- I swear to
God they'd to it. • But, i f I ask them to think, to care,
then they run into trouble, because that's not what education has dealt with in their lives.
WATSON: Now hold on a minute. The university students in
the United States are perhaps 10% of the population and
they have produced over the years a pretty enviable parcel of scholarships, scientific achievement, and exploration of all kinds. Are you telling me_ that these are
people who have never learned how to think?
FARBER: The universities of the United States have produced a great deal more. They have produced people, scientists for example, who have technical capacity in their
area and no capacity whatsoever to insist on determining
on how their work is used. They have produced people who
are willing to work in their narrow area, who are very
good at it, and who let it go at that. So it's true that
the colleges can turn out a certain kind of proficiency
but it's what they don't turn out that worries me.
'
WATSON: What's missing?
FARBER: What's missing is the ability and the desire to
be a free man and that has serious effects on our national politics. There's a great tendency in this country to
assume that it's all happening somewhere else politically
and that you and I and other people do not have very much
to do with it. The people up there have access to the
computers and the inside information and they know so the.
relationshi of the citizen to politics is that of a spe~-

(Lakehead University Calendar, 1968-69, p.49). This reference
to "general conduct" has, for
some
time, been of great interest to me.
However, no matter who I ask, or how
many p_e ople I ask, no one really appears to know exactly what it means.
Very interesting.
For some strange reason, I always assumed that a university was a "community of men and women who have come
together to pursue and to disseminate
knowledge". (Ibid. p. 257.) Whether
or not the "traditional privileges of
a university are freedom of inquiry &amp;
freedom of expression" (Ibid. p. 257)
can only be placed in the realm of

the ideological for the time being,
when, as a good friend and graduate
of this university, asks: "Wha.t ca.n
you. ex.pec.t 61Lom a. .6y-6.tem wfuc.h cllcta.tu JUttheJL .tha.n edu.c.a,tu s WOIL6h.lp6
.&amp;u.c.cui, a.t .the ex.pe;u,e 06 peJUiona.l
develo pnen.t?"

Exactly what is meant by that quotation regarding freedoms etc.? Are the
people who wrote the calendar in the
same category as some at Trent University in Peterborough, who, refused
re-admission to a candidate because
of his "leftist activities". Is this
the great academic freedom they speak
of? Is the real meaning "Vo wha.t you.
L-00.nt heJte .ln u.n.lveJUi.lty, bu.t, do .lt
OWl. WQ.lj • "

This situation does not exist merely
for students either. 'The faculty can
testify to the lack of freedom in
their teaching methods, and in their
extra-faculty activities. What is the

a

purpose of this university? Is it the
production of pr9grammed stereotypes
that it appears to be, or is it a
place where people can congregate, in
the real spirit of inquiry, to learn
freely and, unencumbered by out-dated
archaic concepts, evolve into socially aware, thinking individuals? And I
emphasize individuals.
"University life has its privileges
and responsibilities" - to what?
To
whom? And most important, why?
It
appears as if the "University" itself
is greater than the people in it. The
institution is the God.
Fear the
great God and you shall be delivered.

I wondered if these responsibilities
include my personal responsibility to
say "No!" to the system when it is
strangling me by means of an insane
prerequisite which I do not have to a
course that I feel I would really enjoy taking? If we are here to be "ed-

up in the new one will be in a much better situation.
That's the way I see myself: I am trying to work towards
freedom in education, but I didn't have it.
WATSON: How much freedom does a student have to have?
Are you suggesting that anyone should be able to walk into a college and look ,around and say: "Well, U'-6 pJtetty

ni.c.e heJr.e, I'll maybe . -6:t.udy · a. .u..t,;U.e modeJLn da.nc.e and
i,pend a. .u..t,;U.e time l..n the c.heml-6.tlr.y £.ab., 01t maybe I
won't?"

FARBER: Why not? Just ask yourself that. Keep asking why
over and over again. Why not?
WATSON: First of all, a whole lot of people are putting
a whole bundle of money to operate these universities on
the premise that something is going to happen to the student when he gets there.
FARBER: Now you are getting down to the crux of it. Who
pays the money? Who benefits from colleges? For ~hom are
they operated?

WATSON:

Now you are going to tell me that the reason the
student is a slave is that he's being bought-is th~t it?
FARBER: I think it is true that society expects that in
return for its money something is going to be done to the
student.

WATSON:

Something is going to be done to the student?

FARBER: Done to the student. Right. I'm using that formulation intentionally. We want them to grow up like us &amp;
school is one of the ways we do it. School is the way we
cut them out with a cookie-cutter in the same shape we're
in.
But this is not necessarily the best thing from the
student's point of view. Granted if you want to reproduce
your society, if you.could, what you are talking about
might be a good thing to d·o . But if what you want to do
is provide an opportunity where someone can learn - I mean
really learn, not be trained, not be programmed, but
learn-then it is not a good idea. What would be a good
idea would be precisely what you said: that the kid walks
into school and takes what he wants to take.

WATSON:

But supposing he doesn't want to take anything.
I don't know how well disciplined you are, but I know how
lazy I am. I think my inclination would be to walk into
the school and just get to know as many girls as I could.

FARBER: I think they have messed up your head. And I'll
tell you why. You remind me of the black person who reaIly believes he needs slavery and is uncomfortable about_
frying to do without it. He's afraid of being free. We
grow up thinking:
"16 they don't hold tho-6e gJta.du ove;r.
my head and i6 they don't c.oeJLc.e me, I won't get a.ny.thlng
done bec.au6 e I am la.z y. "

We mistake our slavish truculence, our slavish sluggishness for our real selves. Naturally you're lazy when you
are doing Mr. Charlie's wor~. I've never been lazy doing
my own work. I find as a teacher I am tremendously ener-

ucated"; then the Faculty is here to
teach us what they already know, and
(of course, this is all hypothetical)
then, the administration is here to
make sure that we have a place to
meet with our professors, to insure
that we have rest-rooms to go to when
we feel compelled, and to keep our
records in safe--keeping for us. As
is the case though, the administration is here to make things run
smoothly, to make sure that there ar~
enough people here so that the Govt
Grants will come through, to decide
on regulations to keep us in line and
finally, to decide what
we
should
take, what we should think &amp; when we
should think it.
It's like when I was a kid, and my
parents told me that the policeman
was my friend, he would take me home
if I was lost, and then the bubble
broke when I saw the policeman, my
friend remember, beating the shit out
of peaceful demonstrators; spraying

getic. I will stay up night and day doing something that
matters, solely because I want to. Nobody will know the
difference. I won't get into trouble for not having done
it.
I remember once I wanted to go in and talk about French
history. I did not know much about it. I read endless
books on French history just for one class. It was not
really a good class because I had too much information. I
dumped it all on them. The point is, I really worked because it was my work - I had the very best kind of reason
- my reason.

WATSON:

Let's talk about solutions. You talk about pushing down the walls and letting a little air in, letting
education into the street and the street into school. Do
the solutions have to be violent solutions?
FARBER: I'm non-violent. I don't believe you should hurt
~nyone, any time, for any reason. Sudden, yes. Absolutely
radical.
Let me go back to my metaphor of black people &amp; the civil
rights movement. We've been asking for sudden solutions &amp;
ev1:rybody always sa~s: "We.ll, yu we' Jte gol..ng .to do -6ome_.th,lng, but thue thlng-6 all.en' .t done oveJLnigh.t~ If you let
them go at their pace, they will never be done. It's only with this insistent pressure, with this impatience
which is characteristic of kids in college now, that any
change is happening.
I don't think it's inunature or romantic to ask for change
now. It may be immature to expect I am going to have it
tomor~ow morning. But would I change it if I coul~, would
I wish it could be changed by tomorrow morning? Of course
because I think it's a plague --- I think what passes for
education now is really a plague. I think its very dangerous. As a matter of fact, I think it's killing ,people.
It's killing p·eople in other countries by what kind of
citizens it is turning out in this country and the way in
which they participate in the country's decisions &amp; politics.
I thi»k it can change. A great many. people are unhappy
with education as it stands now. It's a question of realizing the power you've got. ' If students could ever realize the power they've got, they could change things very
,quickly.
They came very close to it at Berkeley , they just didn't
ask for enough. They &amp;ot what they asked, but at the time
they weren't wise enough to ask for what they should have
asked for. They asked for a voice in what happens on
campus. I don't see that there are curriculum planners so
wise that the students couldn't do just as well. Whatever
the students decided would be right because they decided
it. Just as what you choose to read, that's the right
thing to read because you want to read it, and what someone forces you to read - I'm not saying recommends - what
someone forces you to read· is not going to be the right
thing.

ARE THERE ANY?

mace over students, and,

in general,

At the expense of the student, administrators keep their files neat and
tidy. "No, you. c.tin '.t .ta.k.e .tha;t c.ou.'1.,6 e

And what about the course in which
the professor's personal
political
views appear, be they reactionary or
revolutionary, and they happen to be
opposite my own?
What do I do then?
Do I chuck my own views out the window for the sake of a lousy course
credit, or do I write what I deem to
be true? It all depends on what you
want out of Lakehead University. If
you seek the paper after three years,
then you have to prostitute yourself
in order to get what you're after. On
the other hand you can tell the whole
establishment to go straight to hell

take off and get what you want
where. This, as a matter of fact, is
one of the prime arguments of a particular official here at Lakehead.
But what end .does that serve.
Why

Since we were stuck with it, we looked at its owner &amp; tried to understand
this rather unusual phenomenon. So we
looked carefully at her looking at us.
And as we looked we were astonished
at what we saw. She was beyond all
doubt a human being just like us. She
was also a frustrated woman living in
a hellish world without any love. She
was seething with a veom of frustra tion and we · saw in her a woma~ who
had, no doubt, never been loved, not
by parents, nor husband or children.
Within her, we felt a lynching mob,
the Ku Klux Klan, a zealous witchburner, a John Bircher and a hot-line
addict. But what we saw was just
another misdirected life. For this
poor woman, with all her frustrated
energy, even if she succeeded in burning Ray and a thousand others, would
never find one minute of peace and
happiness. Moreover because she would
not look within herself for her solutions, but thought she saw solutions
in attacking a person who was entirely a stranger to her, she would never
change and so she was doomed in her
hell, and she would never know why.
Though it may sound like we hated her
this woman seemed so victimized and
helpless that we felt compassion for
her. And I smiled at her and told herthat she was cute and that she was
filled with too much hate, and though
I thought these words would inflame
her ange!, she immediately abandoned
us, leaving us once again to our
dreams which were no longer on food.
She brought another memory to my mind
and I remembered the Be-In held a
month ago in Waverley Park. And I
remembered a policeman climbing up on
the platform to tell the kids to turn
the music down as it bothered the patients in the hospital. The policeman's request seemed to be understandable, as the music was very loud and
the hospital was nearby

that would give them the excuse to

Hassled, Hassled, Hassled, Hassled.

All of this

of the stu-

dents who say that they want to

place in the present day educational system. The present institution and the new University
can exist side by side -- the
first, preparing people tor office jobs and the world of business, the other, for the vast
world of originality and creativity.
It could work out like
the Ontario College of Art in
Toronto which gives degrees and
produces connnercial artists and
designers for industry and The
Artists Work Shop, which, though
it does not give degrees, has
more prestige in the artist community and attracts people who
feel that their creativity had
been stifled at O.C.A., and if
you really have good ideas it
will fo~ce the old institutions

we can keep our learning and

�uptotheHARDY NORTH
- by Deirdre Smythe

A joint effort on the part of the Anthropology and Biology Departments of
Lakehead University, under the direction of Ken Dawson and Tom Northcott,
sent a team of two students to Lake
Makokabatan on the Alba~y River - 150
miles straight north of Geraldton into the black fly infested bush. They
are studying the ecology of the landscape, taking notes on the- weather,
collecting plant specimens &amp; evidence
of Indian civilization. An all-encompassing survey, then.

One of the main purposes of the expedition is to study the ecology of the
area. They set up approximately 160
small snap traps in a campsite and
leave them for three days. Small mammals
shrews, mice &amp; squirrels are
disected &amp; preserved in various chemicals. ~tatistics are taken on the
vital organs of the animals. Shrew
ovaries &amp; squirrel stomachs! This is
done in a systematic manner so that a
comparison can be made between time &amp;
place. A similar study was conducted
last summer.

ANOTHER LETTER
The Students for a Democratic Society
are now being incorporated as part of
the Alma Mater Society of Lakehead U.
Members of the Students' Council and
executive are becoming members as
they feel that it is time for changes
to be made.
The coming year should prove very interesting and possibly winter might
be hotter than usual.
LONG LIVE THE
PROLETARIAN REVOLUTION!
Signed,
The M&lt;Uiked Avenge/I.,
·Verm.y the Red.

Exploring Lue archeology of the area
is also a responsibility of the crew.
They look for old trap lines, Hudson
Bay stores &amp; check out portage routes
for artifacts of the trading era.
Some primitive Indian pottery has
been found which is an important discovery, as it is definite evidence of
an advanced culture. Such a find is
unusual for the area.

Jim Dunstan and Garth Pentney, two
second year Arts students, are living
in a completely isolated situation
for a period of nine weeks. The Lands
and Forests float plane dropped them
off at Fort Hope, flew in supplies
once in the two month period and will
also bring them back to benevolent
mankind. They will have travelled 100
miles up the Albany, having had 10 or
11 different campsites and ending up
at Washi Lake.

The long term objectiv~s include a
comparison of the results on the land
before and after a study of ecology.
Success of the project may mean the
area will be inundated for the purpose of hydro electric power.
In such a scheme, the party of 2 suffers many dangers of isolation. The
Lands and Forests pilot keeps close
watch on a region covering 35,000 sq.
miles. The many accomplishments of
this survey could not have been carried through without the help that
the Lands and Forests has given.

CONTEST NOTE

Since the postal strike has negated
all . chances for you, our readers, to
participate in the latest thrilling
ARGUS contest , we will extend the
closing date for entries to thirty
days after the end of the strike. Besides, we've misplaced the pictures
that were printed in the last issue
with the profs names on the back, so,
we can't judge the contest anyway.

TO THE GRADUATES:

privileged to extend to the graduating class good wishes and high hopes lor
are now going out into the wider circle of society and we look to you to
bring to an unsettled world same of those qualities of vigour and enthusiasm which
have marked your days here. Honest scholarship should have trained you to faring to
bear on all situations in life impartiality, integrity, moral courage and perspective.
Your many interests and activities should have given to you an appreciation of values

parents and to the Institute. The years will tell whether you are worthy of the
sacrifices that have been made for you by your parents and those interested in your
career. You are a representative of the Lakehead Technical Institute; the reputation
which you establish may well determine the reception given future graduates by potential
employers, or other centres otf learning. Some of you are graduating into the world
of industry; others are hesitating before continuing up the steps leading to a university
degree. For the first, the preparation is over and there now comes the test otf its
adequacy. For the second group, the initial hurdle has been surmounted, but further
obstacles lie ahead. The public is little impressed with anyone because he is a graduate
of a particular institution, or a member of this or that association. It rates him according
to his own merits and ambitions. In very truth the future rests in his own hands.

We of the staff shall watch your progress and development With keen interest,
hoping always that you will remember that a formal education is comparable to a
bunch of keys, of value only as it is used to unlock the doors to opportunities and
satisfaction in

life.

DONALD SALO,

President

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
What is the Lakehead Technical Institute? This question has been asked many
times during the last three years. It is our hope that this Year Book, the second
published by the students of L.T.I., will adequately answer this question and will also
help to create the public interest which is necessary for the successful growth of a
young

school.

What does
completed

the future hold for the Lakehead Technical Institute? Plans have been
to convert the Institute into a recognized junior university which will be

known
in a

as the Lakehead College of Arts and Sciences. This new school will be housed
modern building and situated on property close to both Lakehead cities.

The social activities of our school year have been both pleasant and memorable
and have been made successful by the enthusiastic participation of the students and
instructors; and for this, our deepest thanks. We would also like to express our thanks
to Dr. Bartley and to Mr. Braun, whose advice and guidance has greatly contributed
to the success of

our Students' Administrative Council.

In a small school such as ours, neither the social events nor the athletic activities
can be successful without the assistance of each individual student. It is this school
spirit and enthusiastic support of all the students which has made this year at the
Lakehead Technical Institute one which we will long cherish and remember.

The administration of our Students' Council is a good example of that same
representative government which is the greatest attribute of our democratic way of
life.
May our school continue to thrive and expand with that constant public interest
and support, which is the strength of the democracy in which we live.

DONALD SALO.

Editor

Editorial
It is with a proud feeling of achievement that we present Volume II of the Lakehead Technical Institute Year Book. When the Year Book staff was assembled last
fall, we were a group with little editorial experience behind us, and a great deal of
work before us. We could not have accomplished our task alone. On behalf of the
Year Book staff, I would like to thank Eric Newman, who spent so much of his time
at the school dances taking pictures for the Year Book; Miss Pouncy who made such
an excellent job of the students' portraits; Mr. Ross for his guidance and advice; and
all the business men who, by their interest and advertisements, have made the publication of this 1951 Year Book possible. We have realized our goal, and feel sure that another tradition has become established at the Lakehead Tehnical Institute.
The Lakehead Technical Institute has much to offer the people of Northwestern
Ontario. Before the Institute was opened, local high school graduates wishing to continue their education had to travel almost a thousand miles to the nearest university
in Ontario. Although the economy of this region is largely founded on the mining and
forestry industries, there was no school anywhere in Northwestern Ontario where
young men could be trained for these industries. Now, graduates from the two-year
technical courses in Mining and Forestry at the Lakehead Technical Institute can successfully compete with older men who have spent years learning "on the job" in woods
or mines. The demand for technical course graduates far exceeds the supply.

In the University Division at the Institute, first-year courses in Arts. Applied
Science, Commerce and Forestry are offered. Graduates from these courses must complete their work for a degree at another university. Our former students have established
a commendable record of success in their university work. The instructors at the Institute are able to give individual attention to each student, and help him to bridge successfully the wide gap between high school and university work. Public School teachers
wishing to obtain credits for their Permanent Teachers" Certificates are also accommodated in the Arts classes.

support shown by the people in the area served by the Lakehead Technical Institute.

Before he divulged the secret to the Indians, however, he made them
promise never to tell the white-men; for if they did, he, Kitci Manitou would
be turned to stone. The chief of the Ojibways, Nanna Bijou, took an oath that
he and his followers could safely be entrusted with the great secret. Kitci
Manitou, thereupon, called Nanna Bijou up to the highest point on Mount
McKay and pointed out to him the precious island, far out on the shining
blue of the great inland sea, Kitci Garni.

The Sioux warriors became very jealous of the Ojibways and they determined to wrest the secret from them. They captured several of the O jib way
braves and tried to force them by torture to give up their secret but the Ojibways were a brave and reliable tribe and they preferred death rather than
giving in to their hated enemies or betraying Kitci Manitou.

A site comprising some eighty acres, located between the two cities of Port

Friday, we held scrub games during noon hour.
Johnny Lauzon supervised
these games and gave the boys stiff workouts.

accepted a challenge from the Griffon's Navy team. Twice in succession we beat them. Feeling cocky, we challenged our old rivals, the Business
College. On the following Friday a terrific duel of brawn and brain highlighted
the noon hour. Having several goals more than our opponents, we began to
lag.
The Business College boys, reinforced with several minor league players,
rallied to put themselves ahead. When the whistle blew to end the game, our

CURLING
Curling took the place of bowling this year at the Institute. The manageof the Port Arthur Curling Club generously allowed us the use of their
new rink every Wednesday from four p.m. to six p.m. Six experienced curlers
skipped our rinks. Twenty-four students participated in the sport. The rinks
played each other six times. By a slow process of elimination, Jim Delaney's
rink emerged the winner. The winning rink will play an all-star staff rink
in a game which should prove to be the highlight of the season.

ment

We curled an interesting game with Port Arthur's representative to the
Northwestern Ontario bonspiel. Our rink consisted of skips Ted Hansen, Jim
Delaney, Bill Watt and Doug Raine. At the end of the actual curling time,
our rink was ahead by one point; then the curlers decided to play another end,
finishing, this time, with a tie. The last rock, thrown by the opposition's skip,
put our rivals ahead. The final score was 9-8.

PRECAMBRIAN CLUB DANCE
The Precambrian Club, an organization composed of all the mining students at L.T.I., sponsored their first dance on January 26, at the Italian Hall,
Port Arthur. Recorded music was provided for dancing. Ambrose Percheson
proved himself to be a most capable dance convenor. Some of the mining
students appeared in their hard hats, adding colour to the evening. We wish
the Precambrian Club every success in its activities and hope that this dance
will become an annual event.

VALENTINE DANCE
The Norman Room of the Royal Edward Hotel was the setting for a gay
Valentine's Party on February 16th when the Lion's Club of Fort William and
Port Arthur played host to the staff and students of the Lakehead Technical
Institute.
Mr. and Mrs. Murray Short were present to represent the Lion's
Club. The polkas and schottisches played by Joe Turner's Orchestra were
especially popular with the dancers.
Refreshments were served during the
evening at tables arranged, cabaret style, around the dance floor.

IMPERIAL RELATIONS TRUST FELLOWSHIP
Mr. A. M. Ross, lecturer in English and History at Lakehead Technical Institute,
has been awarded an Imperial Relations Trust Fellowship valued at 550 pounds sterling and tenable at the Institute of Education, University of London, England, for the
academic year 1951-1952.
Mr. Ross was one of the two teachers chosen from Canada for these fellowships
made in Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa. The purpose
to enable experienced teachers and educationalists from the
Dominions to spend a period of study in circumstances which allow the freest interchange of educational thought within the British Commonwealth. A Fellow during
the tenure of the Fellowship will be expected to devote his whole time to educational
studies of an advanced character which are relevant to the educational problems of

country.

When asked about his future, Mr. Ross said that he had been granted leave of
absence from the Lakehead Technical Institute, and that he intends to return to the
Lakehead and resume his teaching duties here. He expressed the hope that while
overseas he would be able to observe and study the set-up and function of the Junior
College as it exists in Great Britain.
,

Since coming to the Institute in 1948, Mr. Ross has shown a keen interest in the
progress of each individual student and in the growth of the school. To these ends
he has given freely of his time and abilities. We feel that Mr. Ross has justly merited
this award and wish him a most successful and stimulating year of study in England.

FORESTRY CAMP
On

the nippy Fall morning of October the eighth with a bewhiskered old cook,
pots, pans, axes, beds and food supplies, the second year foresters, accompanied by
Mr. C. J. Campbell, headed for their newly acquired camp. They worked furiously
for the first week to repair the camp for the incoming cruising school, cutting wood,
building shelves, tar-papering, washing floors, making saw horses and repairing meat
houses.

During the second week, the first year students arrived with Mr. P. Pollock. We
were divided into parties with the second year boys as compassmen. Each party was
outfitted with axes, abbneys, compasses, chains, calipers and tally-sheets.
We started
out on the strips at half past seven in the morning, ran approximately two miles of line,
and returned. We spent the first part of each evening laying out the next day's lines
and the remainder playing cards, singing or just "kibitzing" about. Evening highlights
were solo singing performances by Beach, Storey and Foss.

At the conclusion of the second week, the first year students returned to the city.
The second year troupers stayed another week to cut pulp wood to defray the cost of
operating the camp. By this time the boys were rapidly becoming ''bushed" and radical
suggestions flew high. Zuggy wanted female cookies. The cook was thirsty and complained of the holes in the kitchen roof. Willie maintained there was a skunk under his
bed, and Mud said that the odour of Yuletide's socks thickened the atmosphere about his
bunk; but despite these minor grievances the boys dug in and cut their quota of thirtyfive cords of poplar on time. The wood was hauled to Red Rock by truck, where it was
sold to the Brompton Paper Company. On the last day of the month, they packed the
equipment and proceeded to Port Arthur, thus concluding the opening term of the
Lakehead Technical Institute's Forestry Camp.

Wednesday night we left for Sioux Lookout and there changed trains for Red Lake
Road. We arrived at Red Lake Road Station at four a.m. and there boarded a "Mando"
or Ontario-Minnesota Pulp and Paper Company Limited bus.
Thursday and part of
Friday were spent driving over "Mando" limits and viewing their operations. We were
then driven to Vermilion Bay where we boarded our cars and began our drive to Dryden.
Our drivers on the sixty mile trip were two employees of the Dryden Paper Company.
On Saturday were shown the Dryden Mill and taken out to some of the Dryden camps.

The class is deeply indebted to Mr. Campbell and everyone else who helped to make
our trip so successful and so enjoyable. Special thanks go to all the cooks who provided
us with an abundance of good things to eat.

SECOND YEAR FORESTRY CLASS MAKES SECOND UTILIZATION TRIP
Sunday, February 18, at eleven o'clock in the evening six second-year foresters
departed for the East to observe the hauling operations of the Newaygo Timber Company.

Marathon (Paper Company, and Long Lac Paper Company.

Our first stop was Franz, a junction of the Algoma Central and Hudson Bay Railway
with the Canadian Pacific Railway. Shortly after lunch we boarded a train for Mead.
Newaygo's depot caimp. At one of the back camps, Willy Storey took the fellows for
a sleigh ride, after Julian Pristansky Showed us how to harness a team. On Wednesday
morning we boarded a train which took us to Oba, the junction of the A.C. and H.B.R.
with the C.N.R. We waited for six hours, had lunch, then travelled via C.N.R. to Stevens,
one of Marathon's depot camps. Here we saw some of Marathon's mechanical logging.
On Friday morning we rode six miles south of Stevens to a waiting plane which flew
us to Carumet, another depot camp, where we watched more hauling operations. Mr.
Pollock, who accompanied us on the trip, was given the two fifteen-foot pieces of halfinch cable which we saw being spliced. Leaving Carumet, we arrived in Long Lac at
eight o'clock Friday night. Here we visited two camps and saw several stages of hauling
operations at the Long Lac Paper Company. On Saturday night we returned to Port
Arthur. We had enjoyed a week of good food, good fun and an all-round educational
trip.

EXCURSIONS OF THE SECOND YEAR MINING CLASS

of October 2 to 7, the second-year Mining students made a trip
to attend the annual meeting of District 4, Canadian Institute of Mining and
Metallurgy, and also to visit the mines in that area.

FACULTY SHORTS
ARTS
The lowly Arts students are sometimes looked upon with condescension by students
and Technical courses. Because we do not have a nine o'clock lecture
every morning, because we do not spend every .afternoon in a laboratory, they tell us
we have a "snap course," and that there is no practical value in the study of Arts. We
choose to ignore the remarks of these Philistines, but would like to point out the part
played by the Faculty of Arts at L.T.I, this year. The president, vice-president and
secretary of the S.A.C. were all Arts students; six members of the Year Book editorial
staff were from Arts; the coach and manager of the hockey team were from Arts; the
captain of the rugby team was also an Arts student and our faculty was well represented on all the school teams as well as on the Mens' Athletic Society. If anyone is
still unwilling to admit the superior intelligence and versatility of the Arts students, let
him be escorted to the "Coffeeteria" (operated by Salo and Dubinsky, from Arts' of
course) and let him be forced to drink seven cups of that boiled brew which they call
coffee. Then abandon him to his' misery, for he is not worth saving.

PROPERTY
The 12 claims of the Company total approximately 440 acres and are located on
McKenzie Island in Red Lake in Northwestern Ontario.
The Company considers that the ore possibilities of the mine are the best ever.
As a step in streamlining operations at the property, a new inclined shaft will
soon be started. Work will be spread out over several years. The northeast section
of the mine on the top levels is responding well with good ore values. Diamond
drilling in the

President's Message

.

.

.

E are suddenly finding ourselves out of childhood and being
accepted and treated as responsible young men and women.
In fact, we are now on our own road to success or failure.
Honest endeavour will find success (but however honest, laziness can only bring failure).
This first year of university training is an embarkation point
leading the student on into his chosen field of business. The
embryo engineer who walks thru this door, pushes vigorously, thinking of the
stresses set up in the hinges and pondering over the possibility of some day
having all doors open automatically. The mining student feels the steel of
the door knob and wonders what kind of ore the iron was extracted from;
the forester examines the grain in the wooden frame and the arts student
ambles in thinking of how the modern world is getting too specialized.

The Lakehead Technical Institute present this, the third
of our Year Book, we look with pride upon our accomplishments, and we are deeply grateful for the generous
assistance which the committee has received. A few months
ago none of us thought ourselves capable of producing such
a book, and we certainly didn't realize the time and thought
necessary to complete it. Now we can be thankful for the
experience gained and for the final result, which we will keep as a lasting
memorandum of our months at the Lakehead Tech.

There is a great future for a university at the Lakehead, and in the years
come, we can feel proud that we carried our Canadian pioneering spirit into
a field that is advantageous and necessary for all democracies in a time of
world crisis. We hold great hope and faith in our leaders, and we are thankful
that a small part of our lives has come under the influence of them.

one hundred years ago the Indian tribes were the only
civilization along the north shore of Lake Superior.
Many legends have been handed down which are centered
around scenic wonders of the region.

One of these attractions is the Sea Lion on the shore of
Silver Island.
According to legend, the great Nanna Bijou,
spirit of the Deep Sea Water, had two pets, a Thunder Bird and
a winged lion, Nagochee. One day, after Nanna Bijou had received an urgent
message from across the waters, he quickly mounted Nagochee and flew off.
In his haste he left Thunder Bird behind on the island and she became very
jealous of the lion during their absence. When the great lion came into sight,
carrying his master back from his travels, Thunder Bird screeched and
screamed until the heaven was filled with the noise and Nagochee and Nanna
Bijou were thrown into the wildly surging sea. Nagochee tried to reach his
master but could not because of the huge waves. Nanna Bijou finally made
his way to shore unaided and, thinking that his pet had failed him, turned
him into stone. To this day the faithful beast stands on the shore of the island
looking solemnly out over the sea, awaiting the return of his beloved master.
Another story is told of White Bear, an aged Ojibway leader who ruled
over a peaceful, prosperous tribe at the mouth of the Kaministiquia River.
The tribe had not been bothered by their enemies for a long time; one day
word came that warriors were approaching in canoes from the upper reaches

them until they agreed that she should lead them to her father's camp in
exchange for her life. Very shortly she was placed in the head canoe and,
following her suggestion, all the canoes were tied together.

Lauzon's able coaching, the

L.T.I,

hockey team was whipped into pretty fair
shape this year. Practices started late in
November and were held on Fridays from
one to two, and later the same time on
Thursdays was also obtained.
About twenty students took an active interest and
although we only played scrub games everyone had

a good time.
The highlight of the season was our game with
the Duluth Branch of the University of Minnesota. On
February 22, the team and a few loyal supporters left
by chartered bus for Duluth. We played our game
on the 23rd and lost 6-3. Duluth had a hard fighting,
fast skating team and certainly earned their win.
Mention must go to Jack Todesco who played a
very good game in goal during the periods; to George
Miller who got two goals and played an excellent all
round game, and to Denny Brophy who lost his nose
guard but played on with nonchalant courage.
The team had difficulty playing under the American College rules and it is hoped that a return game
can be arranged next year in Port Arthur using Canadian

rules.

The team consisted of Jack Todesco in goal, Ted
Hansen, Don Fman, Denny Brophy and Don Marston
on defence-' Harry Fleming, Jack Adderley, Ray Newton, Bill Dutchak, Ed McCabe and George Miller as
forwards; and Leo Kosowan, Yosh Tatabe, Bill Isberg

The 1952 Curling season started off early in January with the Forestry
and Mining game. The teams were composed of some of the best curlers
in the school.
The Mining team consisted of Delaney, Hansen, Carroll, and
Vase, while Forestry consisted of Tetley, Raine, Adderley and Birston. The
Foresters, with their usual confidence won the game by the score of 8-6.

WINTER
On February 1 1 the foresters, including Mr. Campbell, arrived at the
Great Lakes Paper Company's depot camp at Valora. While in the Valora
District the class saw the GLP's winter haul operations and visited their
camps. We saw the loading and unloading of pulpwood using jammers
and drag lines; and also a truck and trailer haul and truck deck haul. The
tour was conducted by Mr. George Cameron, the Company's District Logging
Engineer, who took us around in the depot bus.
The class went on to Sioux Lookout February 13, where Jack Adderley
headed the round-table conference. The Hammermill Paper Co. gave us
sleeping quarters in the town's hotels for the night. At 2:45 a.m. on the 14th

The distance to Silver Mountain is approximately 30 miles and as the
partridge season was open the birds were hunted along the roadside on the
way out. Mr. Page proved to be very accurate with his 12-gauge shot gun;
while Terry insisted on killing his birds twice.

When the weather grew colder the party had to chop their way into the
workings as the entrance became completely blocked with ice. Once inside
they used two transits and were aided by large flashlights in running the
traverse. Working conditions in this semi-darkness were pleasant enough if
you didn't get water in your boots or down your neck. The only difficulty
was the hanging of plumb bobs at high stations. This always took some time.

The legendary waab of the Sudan recalls another strange character of
African folklore, the "humanoid apes," the bulletin says. This big, manlike
ape is covered with dark hair and walks erect.

A man-eater, the humanoid is supposed to celebrate the capture of prey
by a ceremonial dance. In the ceremony, the females are said to form a

Another subject of speculation is the curious Nandi Bear, which is blamed
often for the killing of humans and domesticated animals in East Africa.
Although scientific evaluation is lacking, native and white hunters alike say
they have encountered the beast; and several descriptions of the bearlike
creature agree on its shambling gait, shaggy hair, little ears and long snout.

PRINCIPAL'S

MESSAGE
TO THE GRADUATES:
It is a privilege to extend sincere congratulations
and every good wish to the graduating class.

We of the staff have watched your progress
through the Lakehead Technical Institute with keen
interest.
Now as you go out to join our growing
group of Graduates we look forward to your continued success.

Graduates in both the Technical and University
Divisions are making an enviable reputation. Now
the challenge is yours. Graduation is only the first
hurdle. There will be many more ahead. Approach
them with the same confidence and enthusiasm that
you have displayed at the Lakehead Technical
Institute.

Canada is a land of unlimited opportunity for
you who graduate in 1953. Let us not forget, however, that the Canadian way of life stands for
something more than abundant natural resources,
automobiles and automatic washing machines.
Canada is a land of liberty.
Lord Acton said that there is one constant in
history:

Those who have graduated in Technical Mining and Technical Forestry

reports from the industries indicate that they are a credit to the Institute.

courses they have chosen. Part of their success at least is due to the sound

The Lakehead Technical Institute can be the forerunner of a junior college at the Lakehead and a junior college in turn can be the forerunner of a
university.
People who believe that Northwestern Ontario will continue to
grow in population, industry and wealth feel that with proper support and
wise planning such an objective can be reached

in the not-too-distant future.

The present quarters of the school and its location do not lend themselves to expansion nor for use as a junior college.

After

the hectic last-minute alterations, the

1953 edition of the

has

finally

come

through with flying colours.
All that has been accomplished has
been achieved through the co-operative
efforts of the "Year Book" staff and all

who

to

the

magazine. The advertising staff once
again with its terrific drive saved us from
financial embarrassment. I would like to
thank them all, and especially, Mr. Ross,
who, although often busy, woul i alway;
have a few minutes to spare
ear or a hand when we met with difficulties.
It
has been suggested that our Year
Book be given a definite name, a proposal
which the "Year Book" staff considered
worth contemplating with all seriousness. A name chosen wisely and with
care will do much to enhance such a fine book as the one we have. Feeling
that a matter of such importance should not be dealt with in undue haste,
the "Year Book" staff have decided to retain the present name for this volume.
Perhaps at this time next year we shall see this chronicle bearing a new
name, a name we can be proud of, a name worthy of this book. So from
now until that time, keep thinking about it!

There is much sorrow in our war-threatened world today and only when
comes on with such shocking unexpectedness as the recent floods and
hurricanes in the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and Belgium are we all
aware of the misery involved. The loss of life and property alone speak
it

of

the nations' plight.

It is a pity that a catastrophe such as this occurred as Great Britain is
preparing for the Coronation in June of this year. Yes, 1953 will not be
quickly forgotten, for the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II will be one of
this century's spectacular social functions.

As each of us goes his separate way, some to university, others to positions of responsibility in the industrial field, the "Year Book" will serve to
bring us together, wherever we

OLLOWING

upon the Union of Upper and Lower Canada in
Canadian Government, representing the Union of
Ontario and Quebec, taking an example from the people of
the United States, began to think in terms of Western expansion,
having in view the purchasing of the rights of the Hudson's
Bay Company in Rupert's Land, which extended from Fort
William to the Rocky Mountains.
1841,

the

The first important event during that period of our local history was the
purchasing by treaty of all the Ojibway lands from the various bands extending from Batchewanaug Bay, near Sault Ste. Marie, to Pigeon River
and extending Northward to the height of land. This very important treaty,
which was signed by the representatives of the Crown and the accredited
Chieftains from the various bands of Ojibways, was duly signed at Sault
Ste. Marie on the 7th day of September, 1850, is known as the RobinsonSuperior Treaty. According to some stipulations of that Treaty, a number

of blocks of lands were set aside as reserves for the Ojibways.
was brought about possibly earlier than anticipated on account of the great
mining boom along both shores of Lake Superior which had began in 1841
along the Southshore and finally extended to the North side of the Lake on
Canadian territory. During the seasons of 1845 and 1846, no less than one
hundred and thirty locations had been staked. These particular locations
were two miles in frontage by five miles in depth. It can readily be seen
that a good part of the North shore of Lake Superior was claimed by
prospectors. Only 27 of these mining claims were made good.
The others
were allowed to lapse. The government of the day had yet no right to the
land since it had not been purchased by agreement from the Ojibways until
1850. After that date, upon the completion of the agreement, all the Ojibway
lands bordering on the North shore of Lake Superior, became the property
of the Crown, to be known as Crown Lands.
They were administered by
departments known as those of Lands, Forests and Mines.

The year 1957 will mark the anniversary of the most important event in
the history of Port Arthur. It will be the centennial of its founding. It was,
in fact, in 1857 that a townsite consisting of 534 acres was carved out of virgin
forests, surveyed into lots and sold by auction.
Robert McVicar, who had
seen distinguished service with the Hudson's Bay Company in the Northwest
Territory, was appointed Crown Lands Agent. He became the first permanent
white settler to set foot in what is now the City of Port Arthur. His modest
log-house and office was located at the intersection of Arthur and Cumberland
Streets. In time these lots were taken up by new settlers but evidently there
was no rush to establish the new settlement, since by 1870 the total population only represented 200 inhabitants. Robert McVicar acquired considerable
property adjoining the townsite, and his descendants at a later date were
the largest owners of real estate property in and about the young town of
Port Arthur.
McVicar Creek and McVicar Street were named after him.

Coinciding with the opening of the new townsite, an event of national
importance since it was the first independent settlement to have been established west of Sault Ste. Marie, S. J. Dawson, a civil engineer who had
previously been connected with the Canadian Government in some important
public works in the St. Lawrence Valley was now appointed to make a survey
of a possible wagon and water route which could be established between
the infant settlement of the Lakehead and the Red River Colony, the latter
still under the control of the paternalistic rule of the Hudson's Bay Company.
After considering alternate routes,

recommended a wagon

road to Lake Shebandowan, thence pretty much over the old Canadian
canoe route to the West end of Lake of the Woods and thence from the
Northwestern angle another wagon route to the Red River settlements.

By 1867 Confederation of the Canadian provinces became an accomplished fact and negotiations were immediately opened up in London, England, for the purchase of all the rights of the Hudson's Bay Company in
Rupert's Land, which extended then from the mouth of the Kaministiquia
River to the Rocky Mountains. S. J. Dawson was then instructed to go ahead
with his project of linking the East with the West with his wagon and waterway highway, which became known as the Dawson Route.
Negotiations having been successfully carried out in London by two
Canadian representatives and the Committee of the Hudson's Bay Company
for the transfer of all their rights the Canadian Government was therefore
ready to assume authority over the Northwest Territory. Unfortunately, just
as they were ready to do so, the Red River Valley was plagued with a reoccurring grasshopper migration which, like the locusts of Biblical days as
recorded in Genesis, darkened the sky and covered the land, destroying
everything as they went along. To assist the Red River Colony the Canadian Government decided to rush along the construction, particularly at the
far end of the Dawson Route in order to offer some relief by creating work

on the Lake of the Woods to the Red River Valley or Fort Garry went on
merrily during the

summer

of

1869.

Paradoxical as this may seem to students of history this relief measure
undertaken by the Canadian Government with the best of intentions was
one of the causes that led to the Red River insurrection in 1869. It was not
the sole cause of the trouble, but certainly one of them, if not the most serious
one. It thus became necessary for the Canadian authorities to restore order
along the banks of the Red River in the newly-formed Province of Manitoba
and the Government did act with resolution and despatch. Colonel Garnet
Joseph Wolseley, afterwards Lord Wolseley, who was serving as a commanding officer in the Canadian militia in Eastern Canada, was appointed
in charge of the Expedition to Fort Garry, and arrived here with his officers
and soldiers in the early summer of 1870. A fellow-passenger on board the
steamer "Chicora" was Thomas Marks, the pioneer merchant of Port Arthur,
with whom Colonel Wolseley must have found a great deal in common on
the trip across Lake Superior. As they were disembarking from the steamer,
Colonel Wolseley asked Mr. Marks the name of the place. Upon being told
that it was called "The Station," Wolseley stated, "Let's name it 'Prince
Arthur's Landing' after Prince Arthur of Connaught." The young Prince was
then in Eastern Canada.

Having restored law and order in the new Western Province of Manitoba
the Canadian Government then turned its attention to railway construction,
the beginning of which was made from West Fort Wililam in the early summer of 1875 as a Canadian enterprise. In 1881 this Government owned
section was taken over by the Canadian Pacific Railway.
By 1886 Canada
was now linked by rail from the Atlantic to the Pacific, an achievement unheard of in railway construction up to that time. Considering that the population of Canada barely exceeded 4,000,000 inhabitants it did show vision,
enterprise and resolution on the part of both the Government of the day and
the directors of the Canadian Pacific Railway.

The young town of Prince Arthur's Landing had by this time gone through
a great deal of expansion, including one silver mining boom in the early
'70's and entering upon a second silver mining boom which began in 1882
and lasted pretty much until 1888. Coupled with the construction of the
Canadian Pacific Railway Port Arthur became a town of great importance.
In a booklet prepared by the Canadian Pacific Railway at that period the
town of Port Arthur was referred to as "The Silver Gateway."
It will be of interest to the readers of this article to learn how the name
came to be changed from Prince Arthur's Landing to Port Arthur.
It became evident during the early C.P.R. construction of the North Shore
Line that Prince Arthur's Landing was no longer suitable as a name for the

William Van Home, then general manager of
the Pacific Railway, noted for his quick decisions, decided upon the name of
Port Arthur, which appeared on their station, located on the property now
occupied by the city car barn, between Van Home and Wolseley Street.
A year later in 1884 the name of the post office was also changed to
that of Port Arthur and when the town was incorporated in May of the same
year it also adopted the same name. Explanations for the change to Port
Arthur from Prince Arthur's Landing, as decided upon by the authority of the
Canadian Pacific Railway, has been recorded by the "Sentinel," the leading
Lakehead newspaper of the time and repeated in the "Port Arthur Illustrated,"
published in May 1889. It was supposed to be "partly as a companion to
Port Moody, the Pacific terminus, and a compliment to Prince Arthur and
partly for President Chester Alan Arthur," then President of the United States
and rather popular with the Canadian people. He used to spend his summer
vacations in Canada. He was actually the first President to manifest any
interest in Canadian affairs and a deep affection for the Canadian people.
It is doubtful if any other city on the continent can claim to have been
named after two such historical figures, Arthur, Duke of Connaught, the 7th
child of Queen Victoria became a Field Marshall in the Imperial Army. In
time he was appointed Governor-General of Canada. President Chester Alan
Arthur, a man of very great charm, possessed of a fine physique, did make

Canadian people.

Early Tuesday morning, the individual cruising parties, comprised of a
cruiser and one or two first-year students as a compass and tallymen, set
out for their respective limits.

The first day of cruising was a baffling experience for most. All the
parties returned that night with barely any work done. During the next two
weeks our cruising ability rapidly improved and we averaged approximately
fifteen plots per day for each party. On the week ends the boys managed
to find transportation into town, except two second-year students who stayed
behind in camp and enjoyed the finer things in life.

THE SCALING COURSE
School for the second year Foresters began with the government scaling
course at Camp 40, Long Lac Pulp and Paper Company Limited. Mr. James
D. Pennock conducted the course September 15-27, ably assisted by Mr. J.
Peden and Mr. L. Sullivan, all from the Ontario Department of Lands and
Forests.

Approximately fifty-two men representing various timber companies,
Lands and Forests and the six foresters from the Lakehead

Technical Institute took the course.
Mr. Pennock gave us lectures in the mornings, field work in the afternoons and classes again in the evenings. We tried the Culler's examination
on the 27th, taking the field test in the morning and the written examination
that afternoon.

Mr. Pennock entertained us one evening with an interesting show of
coloured slides. The Long Lac Pulp and Paper Company gave the men a
banquet supper on the 26th, and we thoroughly enjoyed the turkey and
ice cream.

In the following

years an increasingly successful trade was carried on by the

West Company. They developed
a long chain of forts from Grand Portage deep into the western regions of
Canada, practically unchallenged by the interests of the Thirteen Colonies to
the south. The American War of Independence and the Treaty of Versailles,
1783, however, changed the picture somewhat with the definition of the Canadian-American boundary along Pigeon River.
The North West Company
found that some of its most important posts, including Grand Portage, were
in American territory.
As a result, Edward Umfreville was despatched in
1784 to find a new all-British route through Lake Nipigon and connecting
lakes and rivers to Lake Winnipeg.
Umfreville was successful in his venture, but the route proved too difficult and was never used. During the intervening years The North West Company continued to use its posts in the

re-opened the waterway discovered by Jacqes de Noyon, a hundred and ten
years earlier.

The North West Company transferred its post from Grand Portage to Kaministiquia in 1802-03, and the fur trade was continued by the Canadian route.
In 1807, Kaministiquia was re-named Fort William after William McGillivray,
the Company's agent.
Until the decline of the fur trade, and the advent of
modern methods of transportation, Fort William and the Kaministiquia Route
remained in continuous use in the vast fur empire of the north west.

One good thing about Parasov was the absence of unemployment. The pepper mines and slave camps of sweltering Tropicornia, an unbearably hot and
humid land in eastern Parasov, always provided "opportunities with a future",
and a substantial proportion of the population worked there. The M.K.B.D.
(The Men who Kindly Butcher Deviates) was a marvellous organization which
performed two functions. First, it continually watched over every activity of
every citizen every minute of his life. Secondly, it was the employment

They were also taught to talk, and to play football, baseball, and other sports.
I particularly admired the educational system in Hewhassay.
Otis and I had

a variety of worthwhile subjects. We both had memorized significant speech-

He was delighted when was able to quote twenty-five lines from Polonius'

He especially admired the kindly wisdom of that excellent old

of his country.
He was able to give the average rainfall from 1896 to 1963
of six different Hewhassayan cities: Katzala, Esp, Saint Kosher, Oopdeedoo,
Tillden, and the tropical paradise Kmonawanaseeya.
Otis was as equally

HOCKEY

Members of the L.T.I. Hockey Team: Ron Lariviere, Dante Gaudino, George
Wood, John Zvonar, Matthew Vukovich, Des Annala, Tom Piper, Bob Hyde,
Ted Wainikka, John Bayko, Jack Wieb, Jim Purvis, Don Trotte, Ken Nelson,
Gordon Dixon.
The boys went all out this year for hockey and the intramural games at the
Arena on Wednesday afternoons were really something to see. A game' was
arranged with the University of Minnesota, Duluth branch and the L.T.I, team
ventured south in very high spirits to tangle with their American counterparts.
The game was played before a sell-out crowd and the L.T.I, team,
with their clean and polished play very quickly became endeared to the
impartial audience.
At the end of the second period the score stood 8-0 for
the Duluth boys but in the final frame, the L.T.I, team, spurred on by encouraging comments from the crowd, slammed in four quick goals to the opposition's two and the game ended 10-4 in favour of U.M.D.
Wieb, Annala,
Zvonar and Vukovitch scored the goals for L.T.I. A host of new friends were
made and a return match was arranged to be played at the Lakehead. Mr.
Campbell took over coaching duties and the team practised diligently with
revenge in mind, but the return game had to be postponed till next year.

the clatter of dropping pencils. Enraptured students open their eyes
slightly. They begin slowly and nonchalantly to screw on pen tops and zipper

end. The professor makes the carefully chosen and extremely amusing, final
remark; then, envisioning dinner, he seizes brief case and notes and strides

Nevertheless, the slanted

brought soup for lunch to eat all of it without having to tip the bowl to get the
last spoonful.
Perhaps this is unfortunate, for as readers of Emily Post know,
soup bowls should be tilted away from, not towards the consumer. In any
case, L.T.I, etiquette allows one hand to be left free. This is very useful for
accurately tossing bread crusts behind the ladiators.

"Very common," said she, with eyes cast down;
"And yet from a certain point of view
A kiss may be common and proper too."

With divers arguments, pro and con;
And each supported the statements made,
With practice called to theory's aid.

But on one point they had a single mind
It was awfully hard to be declined.
