Dr. Joyce Forbes was one of 10 recipients of the 1986 award selected from 110 university teachers from 31 different institutions in Canada. As part of her award, Forbes will take part in a three-day seminar jointly sponsored by 3M Canada Inc. and the Society for Teaching and Learning in Higher Education (STLHE). The seminar will be held November 9 to 12 in Chateau Montebello, Quebec. "To put it mildly, I was delighted about the news," said Forbes, "not only personally but for the University as well." According to Forbes, the secret to being a good teacher is "to express enthusiasm and to love what one is doing; to have expertise in the area you are teaching; and to be interested in people." A Lakehead University professor since 1966, Forbes also taught at the University of British Columbia, the University of Manitoba as well as elementary and secondary schools. She is currently on sabbatical and will return to teaching at LU next fall. "We feel education is the only way an individual can hope to cope with the challenges of tomorrow, the changes that we will be facing in the future, the competition from cohorts and nations and the explosion of information that we are experiencing," said John Myser, President of 3M Canada in describing the reason for the fellowship. "We hope that the Fellowships and the upcoming seminar will enable these excellent teachers to pass on their methods to others so that many more teachers wi II rise to the level of effectiveness of the 3M Fellows. The ones who will really win will be the students.and they are our whole future." 1986 3M Teaching fellows were also awarded to: Dr. Roger Beck, Marketing and Analysis, University of Alberta; Dr. John Bell, Languages and Literature, University of Guelph; Dr. James Erskine, Business Administration, University of Western Ontario; Dr. Andrew Farquharson, Social Work, University of Victoria; Dr. Eileen Gillese, Law, University of Western Ontario; Dr. Ralph Krueger, Geography, University of Waterloo; Dr. Ron Sheese, Psychology, York University; Dr. Vladimir Sistek, Anatomy, University of Ottawa; and Dr. Donald Woods, Chemical Engineering, McMaster Uni.versity. A profile on Dr. Joyce Forbes will appear in a future issue of the AGORA. Somethings Don't Come Easy Oaruldian Astronaut To Speak At University Canadian astronaut Dr. Roberta Bandar will speak on being a female scientist in the Canadian astronaut program during a special public lecture, Friday, November 21 at 2:30 p.m. in Lakehead University's Upper Lecture Theatre, UC 2011. Bandar has been a physician with the Canadian astronaut program since 1983 and since 1984 has also been an Assistant Professor in the Faculty of Medicine and Faculty of Nursing at the University of Ottawa. An award winner, Bondar is the recipient of the Career Scientist award from the Provincial Ministry of Health; a special achievement award from the 1983 Woman of the Year Awards; and the Vanier Award from Jaycees in 1985. In addition to being involved in several national organizations, she is the author of numerous scholarly articles, papers and public presentations. Bondar's public lecture on campus is being presented by LU 's Employment Equity Program. Admission is free. Everyone is welcome. See Story "Pulling For Big Brothers" on page 4. Full Steam Ahead F-o~ Distance,- ~, Plans to establish a new Northern Ontario distance education access network are moving rapidly with two co-ordinating centres, one in Thunder Bay and one in Sudbury, to be established by the new year. Lakehead University is expected to play a major role by jointly managing the Thunder Bay centre with Confederation College. "The new government initiative in Distance Education emphasizes a co-operative institutional approach," said Susan Cole, LU's Coordinator of Distance Education Project. "Therefore both LU and the College will share the responsibility for development and management of the Thunder Bay Centre." Last month, the provincial government announced it will provide up to $5 million a year over the next four years to establish the distance education network. I Confederation College President Burt Curtis and Lakehead University President Dr. Robert G. Rosehart participated in last month's teleconference which videolinked Sudbury and Thunder Bay and audio-linked Toronto, Hearst, Timmins and Sault Ste. Marie. Both LU and Confederation College will be experimenting with such equipment for future Distance Education initiatives. ♦ Canada Post At the time, the Honourable Gregory Sorbara, Minister of Colleges and Universities stated that part of the funds will be devoted to developing educational material while a portion will be used to develop the technology that will be needed including satellites, computer programs and linkups. According to Cole, provisions for faculty and staff development as well as research exploitation have been included in the funding. In a recent interview, she explained that program development monies will be accessed by project proposals with priorities for funding approval to focus on inter-institutional collaboration. "General guidelines for proposals are expected to be available in December, " said Cole.

After years of research work, Weir who has been studying the basic physics and chemistry of photodegradation or the process by which certain properties deteriorate in light, says his team has been particularly interested in using polymers to convert sunlight into heat. Six new polymers that may be a major breakthrough in the plastic industry. Dr. Neil Weir (left) & Dr. George Arct examine a bottle of the new polymer they have recently developed. six new polymers, a type of chemical compound used in making plastics, have been developed . The discovery will help improve the characteristics of plastics by making them more durable to sunlight. According to Dr. Neil Weir, Professor, Department of Chemistry, the photostable polymers could change the plastic industry. " Plastics are limited in their use," said Weir, "since many of its properties like strength and transparency deteriorate when exposed to sunlight. However, these new polymers appear to withstand light." "We have found that certain keto polymers harvest sunlight very efficiently," said Weir, "however, due to photodegradation , the products eventually became useless." Weir explains that it was through this research work that the new photo-stable polymer was developed. "We thought that if the molecular structure of the polymer could b_e changed a little, it would force the polymer to undergo purely physical processes fo llowing light absorption." To change the molecular structure, Dr. George Arct, an LU research associate and a visiting professor from Wroclaw University, had to create what chemists describe as new starting materials. Once created, these liquids were then heated together to produce the new polymers. Plastics can then be created by heating the polymers to a certain temperatu·re and moulding or casting it. According to Arct, it took him 2 months of research work in the library to determine the right characteristics for the starting material. "You experiment and sometimes you have to be a lucky man," stressed Arct. Numerous tests were conducted by Master of Science student Ken Whiting to prove that the new polymers were photostable; in other words, they wilt not deteriorate under light. Although, the creation of these new polymers could be a breakthrough for the plastics industry, Weir says the chances of commercially producing the polymers on campus is slim. "These new polymers are expensive and difficult to make," stressed Weir who estimated that one ounce of the polymer or white substance would be worth approximately $100. "Plus most of our measurements are made in highly specialized equipment in Toronto , Ottawa, Berlin and Glasgow." Arct added that it takes 4 steps just to make the starting material. An additional two days are required to make the polymer. Delighted about the new substance, Weir stressed that several people are interested in the new polymers. It could be used for solar energy panels and other areas of the plastic industry. As for the future, Weir says he will continue to loJk at these polymers. "The plastic age hasn't really dawned yet. so there's plenty of work to be done on photodegradation."

New Venda Card Cuts Costs The Chancellor Paterson Library on campus has Installed two new cost-saving photocopiers with added features that allows greater convenience to users and library staff. The new photocopiers located on the second floor of the library use the Venda Card system. With a $10 Venda Card, users can make 83 photocopies with a saving of $2.45 over the coin machine rate of 15 cents per copy. On the average, users will pay 12 cents per copy. "This new system eliminates the need of running to the circulation desk for change everytime you need to make a copy and eliminates costs to end users," says Frank Sebesta, administrative services coordinator. The system eliminates the need fo1 coins. To get a copy with the new photocopiers, users insert the Venda Card intc the machine for a print. The machine~ automatically deduct the amount of thE cost from the card. When the value of the card is reduced to zero simply return the card and buy another at the circulatior desk or at Photocopy Services on the second floor of the library. There is a $1 deposit for the card on thE first purchase. The photocopier locatec on the main floor of the library will remair coin operated at 15 cents per copy.

Since August, a new smoking policy has been enforced on campus in order to provide a safer, cleaner, and more comfortable campus environment for faculty, staff, students and visitors. Smoking is permitted in private offices, the Agora foyer, public hallways where ashtrays are provided, staff rooms where the majority of users are in agreement, the Games Room, and the smoking areas of the Main Cafeteria, Residence Cafeteria, Faculty Lounge, Study, Faculty of Education Lounge and Library. Smoking is prohibited in all classrooms, lecture halls, seminar rooms and laboratories; all athletic facilities, washrooms, areas without ashtrays, designated non-smoking areas, Senate Chambers, Aesthetics Lounge, student typing rooms, shared offices where there is no agreement to allow smoking, and public offices. Deans, directors, chairpersons, department heads.and supervisors will enforce the policy by ensuring that all persons within their areas of administration respect these regulations. Copies of LU's Policy on Smoking on University Premises are posted in promient locations and are available from either the Personnel or Information Department. PLEASE NOTE The Lakehead University Fieldhouse Is a NON-SMOKING area. This pollcy wlll be strictly enforced throughout the year. New Employee Benefit Free Athletic Membership First an employee baseball game, second an employee curling league and now free athletic memberships to LU's C. J. Sanders Fieldhouse. All three are part of Lakeh~ad University's fitness initiatives for campus employees. Effective November 1, 1986 to April 30, 1987, access to LU's athletic facilities will be free for all full-time faculty and staff members. Special family rates of $25. will also be available to extend usage to spouse and/or dependents. According to LU's Athletic Department, previous rates were $58.50 for single employees and $79.50 for an employee family membership. Full-time students were already receiving free access to the facilities; with part-time students and other university students paying $45. for a membership and the general public charged $76.50. In a November 6th memo from President Dr. Robert G. Rosehart, the reduced rates are being introduced as a measure "to encourage employees to participate i'1 activities which serve to enhance our employee's personal level of fitness." Those interested in obtaining a membership, should complete a "Request for Athletic Facilities Membership" form and return it to the Athletics Department. Forms are currently being distributed to all departments. All cheques should be made payable to Lakehead University. Those employees who are already members will have the credit applied against the cost of gym or pool service programs or against future membership costs.

"It's an honour to belong to an order, but in the final analysis, the real meaning of life is to provide service to others." Because of his dedicated service, Thomson received the Order of St. John medal from her Excellency GovernorGeneral Madame Jean Sauve on October 17 in Ottawa. He was recommended for the medal by the Honourable John Black Aird, former Lieutenant-Governor of Ontario and Colonel Melville, Area Commissioner for St. John Ambulance, Thunder Bay. This is the second time this Outdoor Recreation associate professor has received such a high honour. A few years ago, he received The Military .and Hospitaller Order of Saint Lazarus of Jerusalem medal. Dr. Lisle Thomson To have the former Lieutenant-Governor of Ontario recommend your name to the Queen of England for an award is quite an honour. To have the GovernorGeneral of Canada bestow you with a prestigious medal is an even greater honour.

The goal for this year was $16,000. Campaign co-chairman Don Andrews says he's "disappointed in how it's turned out. Considering we've got a staff of 600, it's a pretty poor turnout." Faculty and staff were invited to put all their charity eggs in one basket by making a tax-deductible donation to the fund. Last year, 95 philanthropists contributed $15,500.

Farewell From The Editor As the last article is composed and "put to bed", I can't help but feel lost. Lakehead had become my home; a place where people were like family, supporting yet constructively criticizing my efforts.

From Lakehead University's Bartley Residences to the Information Kiosk near Oliver Road. For the eighth year in a row, the Society has hosted a Big Brother Bus Pull to raise monies for the Association. Approximately 10 teams representing LU and Confederation College participated in this year's event, including Thunder Bay mayor Jack Masters and President Dr. Robert G. Rosehart who steered as well as pulled the bus for the teams. The bus was supplied courtesy of Iron Range Bus Lines. According to Sean O'Neill, President of ESS and a fifth year electrical engineering student at LU, $700. were raised for the association. An earlier donation of $150 was presented to Big Brothers during the Society's initiation September 19. "Big Brothers and the Engineering Student Society have had a long standing relationship," said O'Neill. "Big Brothers is a fine ·organization. They do excellent community work and we want to be a part of it." Christmas Cheer Begins Christmas may seem like w~eks away, yet the Christmas spirit abounds at Lakehead University as faculty, staff and students begin contributing items for the Second Annual LUFA/LUCF Christmas Food Drive. The drive commenced November 13 and will continue until December 2. "We are beginning this program early," said Lakehead University Christian Fellowship member Ron Fairbanks "so that we can effectively notify people and collect items prior to when final papers are due and/or the beginning of exams." "We will be collecting dry non-perishable packaged foods, canned goods, clothing and toys. All these items will be forwarded to the Christmas Cheer Fund, a local charitable organization." Food depots will be located in the Bora Laskin Building (Pre Service Teacher Education Office), Braun Building (Switchboard area), University Centre (LUSU Office, President's Office), Library (Circulation Desk), Saunders Fieldhouse (SB 1021) and Residence (Porter's Office).

Lakehead University's popular Forestry Seminar Series returns with new talks on international forestry, current forestry practices and advanced technology. The weekly series commenced Wec;lnesday, October 29 and will continue every Wednesday from 4 to 6 p.m. in Lakehead University's 881075. As in the past, the seminars are expected to be of interest not only to those in the forest industry and community but also to the general public. According to Dr. Willard Carmean, a Lakehead University forestry professor and spokesman for the series, the times of the series were changed from noon to after work since it was more convenient for foresters employed by the public and industrial organizations to attend. The series opened with a talk on "The Soars Program for Inventorying Older Forest Plantations in Ontario" by guest speaker David Anderson from the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources in Toronto while on November 5 Dr. Allen L. Lundgren, a Forest Resource Economist from St. Paul Minnesota and a former ined whether Red Pine in the Lake States can outproduce Loblolly and Slash Pine in the South.

More Sex Discussion In Classroom Says Check "There is a critical need for sex education classes to discuss pornography, rape and media literacy,"said special guest speaker Dr. V. P. Check. Speaking at LU during a recent scholarly lecture on "Erotica versus Pornography", the psychology__ researcher said sex in general has been a taboo topic so in the past very little has been done in terms of educating the students about sexrelated topics such as rape and pornography." According to Check, "all too many sex education classes in Canada focus on what might be termed the 'plumbing' aspects of human sexuality and largely ignore the critically important social and behavioral aspects of sexual intimacy." "Children are not presented with models of positive, affectionate, realistic sexual behavior as part of their sex education in the schools. Many students learn about the social and behaviorial aspects of human sexuality from pornography." Check suggested that parents should ask administrators why they aren't solving problems such as rape? "Parents have to show support for better sex education classes by voicing their concerns to the School Boards and those in power. With any hot social issue, ·the board usually doesn't do anything unless they get a strong support from parents." A visting professor of psychology from York University in Toronto, Check has received numerous academic awards and distinctions including the Vineberg Research Prize in Psychology and a Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada Doctoral Fellowship. He has had 13 papers published including "Can There be Positive Effects of Participating in Pornography Experiments?"; "Pornography and Sexual Aggression"; and "The Effects of Aggressive-Pornography on Beliefs in Rape Myths" and had 64 of his papers including "Sex and Violence in Rock Videos", "Are Newspaper Reports Potential Contributors to Rape Myth Acceptance Attitudes?" and "Stranger versus Acquaintance Rape" presented at numerous conferences. He is also a current member of the Society for the Scientific Study of Sex Task Force on Erotica, Pornography, and Violent Pornography and has given talks to numerous groups. Check's lecture on campus was sponsored by Lakehead University's Departments of Social Work and Psychology. More Lectures On Campus _ _ Trees Of The Tropic A special lecture on "Trees of the Tropic: Architecture and Diversity" by Montpellier professor Dr. Claude Edelin was held October 27 on campus.

He is also a consultant to the Ministry of the Environment in France and has conducted research in tree architecture and growth patterns of temperate and tropical trees. His "Trees of the Tropic" lecture on campus was sponsored by LU's Department of Biology and School of Forestry. Psychology Dialogues . Lakehead University's Department of Psychology has introduced a number of talks to keep the faculty and students informed and thinking about the contemporary issues in Psychology. "We wanted to have weekly or biweekly dialogues," said Dr. K. Satinder, professor, Department of Psychology. "That includes open and frank intechange and discussion of ideas." The first presentation in October featured Dr. John Jaimeson while Dr. A. M. Akram presented the lecture "Reflections of a Zetetic" on November 12. Addition dialogues are expected to be scheduled for the future. Class struggle has Increased," said guest speaker Leo Panitch during his October 27th public lecture "Economic & Political Rights and the Labour Movement." "Unions are now defending the status quo while businesses now want change." A political science professor from York University, Panitch was invited to LU by the Human Rights Education Committee. - Poetry by Liman The Pea Seasons ( October) by Claude Llman How do you say goodbye to peas that clung all summer to white pickets? Remember sun-scanned peas in swelling pods, y, sweet dots down each backbone like piglets suckling at their dam? Think of mid-summer pods the thumb slits, raw peas tipped down the gardener's throat? Or September's dry, yellow vines November's bare pickets, loose string fraying all winter in snow and wind? Put on white linen at day's end and stand clean in the garden. Bend to a few last weeds where vines were tall in season. Wait for next year's ground, for those wrinkled peas stored in the cupboard to sprout tenacious green fists and climb newly-strung string hand over hand back into our lives. A GORA, November 19, 1986 Page 5 ) I �Off Campus I ' Examining Kimberlites Where No Westerner Had Ever Been I By Debbie Okun HIii I I r After returning from a sabbatical marked with the release of a 434-page book on kimberlites, a trip to a part of Russia where no Western geologists had ever been before, the privilege of using highly-sophisticated research equipment at Cambridge University and a prestigious honour as a keynote speaker at a major conference in Perth, Australia, Dr. Roger Mitchell says there's only one secret to accomplishing so much. Mitchell's new book is the first major volume about kimberlites written in the West. "You just set a goal and do it," stressed the Lakehead University geology professor. He claims he wrote every day for a year in order to complete his book before beginning his sabbatical. Considered to be the first major volume on kimberlites written in the West, Mitchell's Kimberlites: Mineralogy, Geochemistry and Petrology is expected to be translated in Russian and Chinese in the near future. • According to a release by Plenum Publishing Corporation in London, England, the book provides a comprehensive critique and summary of all aspects of the petrology of the diamond-bearing rock known as kimberlite. It is expected to "appeal to a wide audience, ranging from the exploration geologist who must describe and identify kimberlite, to the mantle petrologist who is interested in the origin and evolution of alkaline magma. In general, the text will be of interest to all petrologists (academic, government, industrial) who wish to become acquainted with recent advances in kimberlite petrology." According to Mitchell, material for the book was derived from over 18 years of research in the field, including work conducted in South Africa, Australia, the High Arctic, and Brazil. Not included in the text is information collected from his recent visit to Russian kimberlites. Mitchell explained his first opportunity to visit Russia occurred only a year ago in July 1985 when he attended the "All Union Conference on Native Element Formation in the Endogenic Processes" at the Siberian Branch of the Academy of Science in Yakutsk, USSR. "It was surious to be in a country where you couldn't read or uilderstand the language," said Mitchell. "Not only did we have a chance to meet Russian scientists interested in kimberlites whom I have never met before, but we also spent three weeks up North examining kimberlites in an area no Westerner had ever been before." Mitchell said approximately 15 westerners as well as a crew of Russians went on the excursion. "We flew up in a Russian military helicopter, were dropped off and then we floated down a river in aircraft life rafts to the research site." According to Mitchell, Russian kimberlites are very similar to the kimberlites he is familiar with, however it is important to examine the diamond-bearing rock in all parts of the world before a hypotheses can be made regarding their origins. Although Mitchell said his Russian experience was a .highlight, his whole sabbatical was noteworthy. During his stay at Cambridge University, he was able to use some equipment that very few universities have. Using a machine known as the secondary ion mass spectronmetry, Mitchell analysed rare earth elements in the mineral known as perovskite, a calcium titanate occuring in kimberlite. Mitchell also used high resolution transmission electron microscopy to study minerals called serpentines in kimberlites. "The equipment allowed me to magnify, up to 500,000 times, cross sections of the serpentine so that I could see how and why these minerals grow. These serpen- tines haven't really been studied before because the techniques used to look at them were only developed 15 years ago." He also studied the general petrology of other rock types such as lamproites and alnoites. In July, he gave a talk on Lamproite Mineralogy at the British Museum of Natural History in London and in August, he travelled to Perth, Australia where he gave the opening address at the 4th International Kimberlite Conference. Now back on campus, Mitchell says he will continue to examine diamond-bearing rocks and has started studying Russian with the hopes of returning to Russia in the future. He is also planning his second major undertaking: a book on lamproites (another diamond-bearing rock) expected to be released in three years. A previous article on Mitchell's research appeared in the May 16, 1984 issue of the AGORA. LU Geology professor Dr. Roger Mitchell took a trip to a part of Russia where no Western geologists had ever been before. Driben's Third Book Reveals Successes/Failures by Debbie Okun HIii -~~ As an anthropologist trying to help a native community acquire land, Dr. Paul Driben says he encountered both success and failure. " I would have liked to say that the people of Arolan~ own land," stated Driben in his third book Aro/and is Our Home: An lncompleted Victory in Applied Anthropology. "Instead the victory is incomplete, a phrase Jimmy Carter once used to describe a situation in which gains were made without realizing the ultimate goal. " "Contrary to what I hoped when I began the work, the decision about land took a long time to evolve ...On the other hand, it is wrong to suppose that nothing was gained, or that the commun ity is no farther ahead than it was before." Based on a 1976-77 case study of a remote Ojibwa community in Northwestern Ontario, Driben's book describes his attempts to help the people acquire owne_ r ship to land that they and their ancestors have occupied for almost a century. " It was my intention to not become their champion, but to provide the community and the government with the information they both needed to make meaningful decisions about land." Although the study was completed years ago, Drlben decided to write the book because he wanted people to know how Indian people developed solutions to problems and how an anthropologist can assist. "I also wanted to give people insight into the feelings anthropologists have when they're doing applied research in AGORA. November 19, 1986 Page 6 the field." According to the preface, the book is divided into four parts. "Part One focuses on what the absense of land tenure means at Aroland , how I became involved with the community, the difficulties that I suspected were preventing the people from owning land, and how I set out to help them." 1 "Part Two contains an ethnographic description of Aroland, its history, demographic characteristics, ki nship and friendship networks and economic ,and political organization." . "Part Three identifies the types of tenure that the residents can possess, the ways in which land ownership likely would affect their lives, and the ways in wh ich they can try to acquire tenure from government." "Part Four focuses on the reaction that the people of Aroland had to my work and the negotiations that took place between the community, and the government after it was completed ." Oriben says his third book should be particularly interesting to those concerned about aboriginal land claims in Canada. Driben is also the author of When Freedom Is Lost, now in its second printing and We Are the Metis: The Ethnolography of a Half-Breed Community in Northern Alberta.. A fourth book The Native Solution to Canada's Indian Problem has been submitted for printing while work for yet another book has begun. Information about these books will be released as they become available. �-- Faces on Campus classrooms and professors' offices as well as washing and waxing floors in the Ryan Building.

To,on10 PnntN:1,n C•~ AGORA, November 19, 1986 Page 8 During last month's teleconference which video-linked Sudbury and Thunder Bay and audio-linked Toronto, Hearst, Timmins and Sault Ste. Marie, Education Minister Sean Conway announced that community access points throughout Northern Ontario would increase the availability of secondary and post-secondary education in both English and French for northern residents, provide counselling to students regarding educational resources, and schedule and coordinate local distance education activity. He explained access points would be found in schools and libraries, in colleges and universities and in other places where advisory committees would decide it to be most appropriate and useful. Responding to reporters questions, Burt Curtis, President of Confederation College stated that "it's a little early to set down all the ramifications of a mammoth project such as this. Access points will have to be developed where there is a demand and where there is a reasonable need to be met." LU President Dr. Robert G. Rosehart stated that "Lakehead now serves 16 different communities in Northwestern Ontario on a regular basis. It would be our objective to include most of those communities as access points." He added that "the proposal at present would see staff being added at the coordinating center in Thunder Bay. In the short term no additional teaching staff would be hired. There would be additions associated with the coordinating centre." At a recent COU Distance Education committee· meeting held for the first _time at Lakehead, chairman Mark Waldron stated that approximately 20 to 40 centres are expected to be established with at least two people hired for each. Approximately 40 to 80 jobs would be created. At the time of press, a joint proposal by post-secondary institutions in Thunder Bay and Sudbury was being submitted to the provincial government outlining the role, responsibilities and funding for the regional co-ordinating centres. A draft letter of agreement between the Ministry of Colleges and Universities and the postsecondary institutions regarding the centres has also been submitted. "Lakehead University has made a commitment to distance education," stressed Cole, "so faculty_will be informed as soon as the direction and guidelines have been formalized." The provincial government expects the network to be in operation by September 1987. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
