Lakehead University will act as host to this 4th Annual Dialogue, which brings together delegates from Secondary Schools, Universities and Government Departments located across the Province of Ontario. This will be the first Dialogue to be held in Northwestern Ontario, and the main purpose of the session will be to probe the question of communication between educational systems in the Province. Dr. Ivey was born in Manitoba, was raised in Vancouver, and has taught in British Columbia, Ontario and the State of Indiana. He received his Ph.D. from the University of Notre Dame. Dr. Ivey was interested in the use of media, film and video-tape, �in the educational process. His activity in this area has earned him much recognition and he has been the recipient of many recognized awards for the work he has done. In 1962, his film, "Frames of Reference" received the Edison Award in New York for "the best science education film" of that year. Another film "Random Events won a silver medal from the Scientific Institute in Rome. A television program "Count On Me" on computers won the Ohio State University adult education award in 1963. He also received the Ohio State University childrens education award from Ohio State University for a television program entitled "Order and Chaos". He has also been extremely active in the p14eparation of television programs for adult education as well as the C.B.C. National School Telecasts. He prepared and presented many television programs on physics, some of which are still being used on American networks, and was responsible for the production of four shows in the C.B.C. Series 'The Nature of Things", as well as acting as host for an entire series of that program. Dr. lvey's academic research has been in the area of polymer physics, and he has published a number of papers on subjects relating to that area.

ReportToCPUO The following is a summary of the report to the Committee on University Affairs and the Committee of Presidents of Universities of Ontario entitled "Television and Technology in University Teaching", copies of which have been distributed throughout the University. It is a reprint of the article which appeared in the March 4th issue of UWO news, a publication of the University of Western Ontario. This week we shall print the main points which appear in the report, to be followed next week by a summary of the recommendations contained in the report. "A report on Television and Technology in University Teaching prepared fo,· the Committee on University Affairs and the Committee of Presidents of Universities of Ontario was released in Toronto last Friday.'' Author of the report is Mr. Bernard Trotter, Head of the Office of Academic Planning at Queen's University. Purpose of the study was to evaluate the use of educational technology as a means of enhancing university-level education. "Educational technology" was broadly defined to include educational television (both closed-circuit and broadcast); other audio-visual media; programmed instruction (including computer-assisted). The study is focussed �on both benefits and costs in relation to benefits. Along with recommendations the study examines the significant literature in the field, investigates notable experiments elsewhere and investigates past and current applications in Ontario. The report will be distributed to Faculty and senior Administrative Officers about the middle of March by the Department of Information Services and University Publications. Main points of the report are these: "It is not profitable to look at any single teaching/learning resource in isolation from others in use or in prospect. We must aim at nothing less than fundamental review of the instructional process." 'The overriding imperative of technology is system. Any discussion of educational technology must therefore be about the systematization of the educational process. Systematization in turn implies collaborative and collective effort-professionalism of a new and different kind." "It is fashionable today to speak of the teacher as manager of a learning system. At university, the studeAt is also critically involved in managing his own learning process." "More progress towards effective learning may be made by concentrating attention on the needs and activities of the learner than by approaching the problem from the standpoint of the teacher." "It may no longer be either possible or desirable to multiply opportunities for general education on the pattern of existing universities. Increasing numbers may therefore make it necessary and possible to design new, fundamentally different patterns of instruction and so help to resolve the crisis in purpose." 'The student is the most important "input" to the educational process. His energy, aptitudes and sense of purpose determine first the choice and then successful exploitation of the opportunities presented by the university. He is basically responsible, as an active agent of the educational process as well as the material acted upon, for the ad- ditional skills, understanding, knowledge of self and of others, ability to solve problems, to reason to evaluate information for all that he takes with him as" output'·." "So far, then as general education is concerned, the major question becomes whether individual choices are to be made among a wide variety of course offerings, with the student left to his own devices in integrating what he learns and relating it to a "model of the world" as best he can, or whether individual choices are to be made among a variety of possible emphases within a very small number of broadly conceived multi-disciplinary courses designed to realize the integrative, overview function of general education." "(Since) a trained capacity to continue the learning process throughout life and to participate constructively in the process of change may be the main social value in providing opportunities for general education ... individualized instruction may have to involve more than tuning instructional resources to individual needs and capacities. It may mean remedying weaknesses in styles of learning as well as building on strengths." "Televised instruction has been tested for effectiveness in a teacher centred institutional context. The potential of such material developed in an integrated way within a student-centred instructional process has not been tested . The important thing to note is that, when a systems approach to curriculum development is tested, it will not be television or any other technology which is on trial. It will be the systems concept itself." "A much more systematic approach to the problem of curriculum and course development is required. Objectives must be defined, all possible methods must be canvassed and evaluated, including solitary study in the library as well as applications of technology, and then courses must be designed and evaluated every step of the way." "Most universities are a long way from looking at the instructional process comprehensively as a system in which resources can be deployed in a variety of ways to achieve objectives. Even where attempts have been made to develop multi-disciplinary courses no systematic assessment of resources has �W88KILl Friday March 19 Monday March 22 Tuesday March 23 even~s Seminar in Chemical Engineering Technology "Surveying the Industrial Relations Field" with Mr. G.

Attempts to use instructional media effectively when time allowed for basic course planning is inadequate are bound to fail and consolidate negative reaction to their further development." 'There are no technological barriers to the mass production of instructional materials if instructors in individual institutions are willing to pay for them and use them. The price depends on the extent of the use." "It is assumed that the demand for general degree work will continue to expand on a scale sufficient to make a look at new patterns of instruction for that degree worthwhile. At the same time it is taken for granted that existing institutions are well equipped to meet the total conceivable demand for honours work and other specialized programs and that in most cases existing universit ies will be able to continue general degree programs as well." If one point has emerged from this report it is simply this: educational technology (in the sense of various kinds of hardware applied to the production and delivery of instructional material) has not been mee~ings Monday Board of Governors Meeting in Senate Chamber at 12 Noon Thursday Inter Varsity Christian Fellowship Discussion Meeting at 7:00 p. m. in room CB-0456 Friday Faculty of Science Meeting in Senate Chamber at 4:00 p.m. fully and effectively used in universities (or anywhere else in the educational system for that matter) because it has been kept in a compartment and considered separately from other resources which must or can contribute to the instructional process - the teacher, the student, the library, the laboratory - and the methods by which these resources are mixed and deployed. It follows then that, if this situation is to change, educational technology must be brought fully into the process of allocating resources of all kinds to meet specific objectives in specific ways." � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

U. By the nature of its location, Lakehead University's research in the field of pollution is based for the main part on studies of major chemical-using and producing industries, upon ar:i area that is relatively free of the pollution caused by major urban areas. Many studies in ecology contain 'spin-off' results that might directly or indirectly affect the matter of pollution. A community Pollution Committee uses the resources of the University and those members of the academic staff who have indicated an interest in pollution studies, offer information and guidance to this group upon their request. A few professors are directly involved with this group, and other community efforts related to the study of pollution. There are a number of academics who are doing preliminary research on potential problems afforded by the area, in specific pollution problems, but most of these have yet to reach the point of being registered as research projects or to request funding. A major research project in the field of Pollution is being done by a multi-disciplinary research group, funded by the Department of University Affairs. The members of this group are Dr. R. A. Ross, Proffesor A. J. Bruley, Dr. R. Freitag, Dr. L. Hastings and Dr. G. Ozburn with collaboration from Dr. G. Allen and Mr. C. Gain of the Great Lakes Paper Company in Thunder Bay. The project title is 'Studies of Air and Water Pollution in Northwestern Ontario' and is concerned with: 1. 2. Chemical and Engineering studies of the stack gases and possible remedial measures. Biological and Physico-Chemical studies of gasand liquid effluents on ecological balance. In another project, funded by the Department of Energy and Resource Management, Dr. R.A. Ross and Professor A.J. Bruley are doing research on The Composition and Combustion Properties of "Black Liquor" from Kraft Paper Mills,' a study of the way in which the composition of the component gases in the effluent are affected by varying the conditions of liquor evaporation and subsequent combustion. The prime technological objective of the studies is the minimization of odour in stack gases. The growing public concern in the area of pollution, and the opportunities afforded researchers by the Volume1 C 6 1911 Numl:>er March 26, 1971 ~ relatively 'virgin' ecological nature of the Thunder Bay area will undoubtedly result in further studies in the coming year. Medical People Visit North Mrs. Christena White, Chairman, Department of Nursing at Lakehead University has just returned from a trip to Great Whale River on the eastern shore of Hudson's Bay, where she participated in a special project planned by the Department of National Health and Welfare. The purpose was to acquaint nurse educators from University Schools of Nursing across Canada, with the problems related to the delivery of Health Care to residents in the northern areas of Canada. Two nurse educators went to each of the following health stations: Povungnituk, lnoucdjouac, Great Whale, Paint Hills and in the interior of Quebec, Obiduan. While at the station they participated in the activities of the station. Since there are virtually no physicians or dentists in this area the responsibilities of the nurses are immense. In addition to the isolation related to the work area, the nurses must communicate with the native population (Eskimo and Indian), through interpreters. Air transportation for longer distances is the only way to travel. Runways are poor and the weather frequently makes it impossible to land. Communication is through radio telephone - "Roger, over". Much of the time this means of talking with Montreal, or other areas is very poor and frequently impossible. During spring thaw and freeze up, no transportation is available. The nurses who participated in this project were asked to make recommendations for providing improved health care in outpost areas. As a result of this experience they will offer concrete suggestions to achieve this goal. Included in the objectives of the visit was consideration of ways in which Schools of Nursing in the Universities could assist in preparing nurses for positions with Medical Services in the far north. �Report to CPUO cont'd The following is the concluding part of a two-part summary of a report to C.U.A. and C.P.U.O. entitled "Television and Technology in University Teaching." It is reprinted here with the permission of the University of Western Ontario News. Recommendations from the report include: that the universities of Ontario establish a "Centre for Instructional Development" to assist the faculties of Ontario universities in improving the effectiveness of instructional processes in terms of objectives, content and methods. that the Committee on University Affairs and the Committee of Presidents of Universities of Ontario authorize the Steering Committee for the CPUO/CUA Study of Educational Technology to provide interim support for any inter-university discipline group wishing to explore the course-team approach. Once a fully documented proposal for costeffective production of common materials has been produced, further support for actual production should be provided through special funding. that the Committee on University Affairs and the Committee of Presidents of Universities of Ontario establish jointly an appropriately constituted planning committee to consider alternative ways of providing high-quality general degree programs on a level comparable with those now offered in the universities for the expected numbers of additional students, and in particular, to examine fully and in detail the feasibility of developing an institution in Ontario along the lines described in detail in Chapter 5 of the report. that the universities of Ontario through the Ontario Universities· Television Council and / or the Channel 19 Committee or other appropriate body, actively seek collaboration with educational authorities at all levels and with public and commercial as well as educational broadcasting authorities to devise effective and systematic ways of exploiting radio and television to communicate as widely as possible, and to all age groups, an understanding of what higher education is, what it offers, and that it is a realistic goal for talented young people whatever their family or economic circumstances. that the Ontario Universities' Television Council be reconstituted with terms of reference as follows: (a) To facilitate the exchange of electronically and photographically produced instructional materials among the universities of Ontario by providing technical advice and assistance as requested by academic discipline groups and approved by the Committee of Presidents of Universities of Ontario; (b) To advise and assist CPUO on all matters pertaining to the relationships of the universities of Ontario with the Ontario Educational Communications Authority and/or any regional authorities which it may establish; (£) to advise CPUO at its discretion on any matter relating to the technical capacity of electronic delivery systems within and among the universities of Ontario; (d) to maintain liaison between CPUO and the AUCC Learning-Media Office. Wrestling Tournament On Saturday, April 3rd, the first city and district elementary school wrestling tournament will be held in the Faculty of Education gymnasium at Lakehead University. At present, twenty public and separate schools have embarked on "wrestling fun" programs in which the basics of ground wrestling are taught. Mr. Gordon Garvie, Lakehead University's wrestling coach has co-ordinated the new program with the help of the physical education students and Nor'wester team members. In the competition there will be no stand-up wrestling. The matches will be two periods of two minutes each, and a fall is awarded when one boy holds his opponent's shoulders to the mat for two seconds. Since boys wrestle almost as soon as they can walk, this seems like a natural outlet for physical exercise needs. Emphasis will be placed on participation and competition rather than solely on winning. A trophy will be awarded to the school with the �most points and 1st, 2nd and 3rd place ribbons and momento ribbons will also be awarded. Age classes have been set as follows: Novice - 8 years and under; Junior - 9 to 11 years; Senior - 12 to 14 years Weight divisions will be established within each of the classes. Anyone in the city who is interested in helping with the youngsters is asked to call Mr. G. Garvie at Lakehead University. Pygmalion Production The Lakehead University Residence Drama Group will present their production of Pygmalion, on Friday, April 2nd, 8:00 p.m. in the University Centre Theatre, under the direction of Mr. John Chipman. This production has involved a large number of people all of whom are Residents in the Lakehead University Residence. This group is, at the present time, the only purely student drama group on the campus. Although the group has no financial support except for the Residence Council there will be NO Admission charge at the production of Pygmalion.

The theme of the occasion is "Getting To Know You" with a two-way emphasis ... presenting an opportunity for the people of the region to get to know Lakehead University better, and for the University to come to understand better the thinking and the needs of the people of the area. All Faculties are taking part in the Open House with special displays, demonstrations and presentations. Visitors will be invited to discuss the programs of the many Departments and Schools with members of the teaching staff and with students. General counselling will be offered to prospective students, and parents are invited to inspect the University residence facilities as well. The Open House will run from 1 :00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. on Friday and from 1:00 p.m. until 5:00 p.m. on Saturday. Displays of laboratory facilities are being conducted in Geography, Languages, Psychology, Sociology/ Anthropology, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Geology and Mathematics. Some highlight displays include a presentation of films and discussion on the theme 'The Economics of Pollution", film presentations of "Culloden" and "Civilization", Nursing demonstrations, �~DUSE r UNIVERSITY Gymnastic displays, Computer demonstrations as well as many slides and specialized task-oriented presentations in which the visitor will be asked to take part. The atmosphere of Open House is indeed casual, and visitors will be encouraged to "do their own thing" and explore the facilities and the displays that are of particular interest to them. Brochures listing all the displays and their locations will be given to each visitor. Public school students will be able to obtain full information about specific courses from faculty members. Of special interest are the displays dealing with pollution problems, and with the ecological makeup of the boreal region . Examples of the inter-dependence of the trees, shrubs, insect life and water supply of the area will be examined in a number of presenta~ions. The Residence Village will also welcome visitors to inspect the living facilities for resident students. The Ontario Science Fair will be taking place in the University Field House concurrently with Open House, and it is hoped that everyone will take the opportunity to join in both functions. �fer weeKIU even~s Friday April2 Saturday April 3 The Language Department is sponsoring "The Fiesta Espanola" Dance in Main Cafeteria at 8:30.

A call to the Thunder Bay Postmaster revealed that the Post Office is presently being reorganized to give full service to the entire city, rather than having Thunder Bay "P" mail sent to and sorted by the North Ward Post Office while Thunder Bay "F" mail was sent to the South Ward Post Office for sorting. As a result of this realignment, sorters are presently learning to sort mail for both wards, and there has been some slowdown in service as a result. We were assured that the difficulty would be rectified within a week or two, and that delivery sh0uld return to normal. In addition, a new method of mailing LU WEEK was established within the University, and it is hoped, as a result, that the LU WEEK will be mailed on Fridays in the future. Should deliveries continue to be delayed two or three weeks from the present time, we would appreciate being informed by our readers in order that further follow-up may be done. meetings Friday April2 Senate Research Committee Meeting at 4:00 p.m. in the Senate Chamber.

Report To Senate The following report on the 66th meeting of the Committee of Presidents of Universities of Ontario was presented to Senate at its meeting on Saturday, April 3rd, by Dr. J.H.M. Whitfield, the President's Academic Colleague on CPUO: The 66th meeting of CPUO was held at Queen's University, Kingston on Friday, 12 March 1971. The following items were among those that the Committee discussed, 1. Lapp Report - CPUO agreed to set September 15, 1971 as the date by which each of the Universities should submit their reaction to, and position on, the Lapp Report on Engineering Education in Ontario. It was further agreed that the responses of the various universities should be sent to the Committee of Ontario Deans of Engineering {CODE) and that CODE would make a report to CPUO. 2. Freshman Enrolment, 1971-72 - It was earlier reported that there might be a 3,600 place deficit for incoming students in the composite estimate of the universities. This deficit could be aggravated by the situation outlined in the following report of the CPUO/Department of Education Liason Committee: "Of approximately 7,500 students expected to graduate from teachers' colleges this year, there will be 2,166 already holding a degree and 1,139 already having had one or two years at a university, and these twogroupsalonecanfill the likely demand for new teachers. Thus some 4,000 students will complete teacher's college and will not find jobs as teachers. How many of them wish toe nter university?'' 3. Report of the Special Subcommittee on the Structure of the Ontario University System - This report contained twenty-three (23) recommendations concerning CUA, the relationship of CPUO/ D~A. and the structure of CPUO, including its operation and its relationship to the member institutions. 4. Discussion with Hon. J. White, Minister of University Affairs - The Minister stressed the need for the Universities to be accessible and re~ponsive to public need, to improve their public image, and to keep costs down. ~l 6 )9 April 8, 1971 5. A.C.A.P. - The Executive Committee of CPUO is to proceed with arrangements for the Advisory Committee on Academic Planning (ACAP) and with implementation of discipline assessment procedures at the graduate level. Among the discipline groups to undergo assessment in the "first round" are Library Science, Chemistry, Economics, Sociology {including Criminology), and Education. 6. CPUO Budget - The total proposed budget for 1971-72 is for the amount of $808,500. This compares to a budget of $855,800 and estimated actual expenditures of $725,600 for the current year. Committee Appointment Mrs. J. B. Belton, the- Acquisitions Librarian, has been elected to serve on the recently formed Ontario Council of University Libraries' Standing Committee on Cooperation in Acquisitions. The Com-· mittee's function is to consider policy and the distribution of information concerning the purchase of collections within the Ontario Universities. The Committee also hopes to be able to assist with the location of rare and out-of-print material required by the participating libraries. Mrs. Belton will be representing the particular interests of Universities whose size is similar to Lakehead University, including Laurentian, Trent and Brock. Exam l~entification Students writing final examinations will be required to have their photo-identification to be admitted to the examination room. Admit-to-Examination letters will be provided by the Records Office for students who have lost their identification. Faculty Executive In recent elections, the Lakehead University Faculty Association chose the executive for the 1971 /72 term. President Corresponding Secretary Treasurer Recording Secretary Member-at-large Dr. G. Engholm Miss R. Candido Dr. E. Eager Mr. G. Vervoort Dr. J. Hilliker The new executive assumed responsibilities as of April 1st. �Book Published Dr. F. M. Ishak, Associate Professor of English at Lakehead University, has recently had published his fifth book entitled The Mystical Philosophy of T. S. Eliot. The book is mainly concerned with the philosophical bearing of Oriental mysticism on the poetic works ofT. S. Eliot. In the work the author traces the ambivalent origins and developments of world mysticism insofar as they relate to the study of the organic evolution of Eliot's theory of mystical philosophy, and analyzes individual and groups of poems which are thematically related, in order to clarify the mystical tradition• in modern poetry. Dr. Ishak sugDr. F. M. Ishak gests an approach to settle such problems as the relationship between the poetic image and mystical vision, time and eternity, and becoming and being. Ancient, medieval and modern concepts of mystical philosophy, both Eastern and Western, are examined throughout the book. Dr. Ishak came to Lakehead University in 1967 from the Higher Teachers· College of Ain Shams, University of Cairo. In addition to his recent book, he has just finished a complete translation of the Coptic Orthodox Liturgy into English, along with-a detailed study of early monastic Orthodoxy. Aesthetic Gallery The Lakehead University Aesthetics Gallery presents the last in a series of exhibitions entitled "Contemporary Canadian Paintings" until April 23, open Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. in Room UC-2020. This collection, from the Winnipeg Art Gallery includes Etchings and Lithographs by Kathe Kolwitz (1867 - 1945), one of the great artists of recent ti mes. We have also been informed that the Lakehead Uni- versity Aesthetics Gallery is being restructured in order to be able to operate within the community as well as on the University campus, and the future will be known under the name "Gallery". Band To Perform The Internationally acclaimed University of Minnesota Concert Band Ensemble, under the direction of Dr. Frank Bencriscutto, will be in concert at Selkirk Auditorium, Thursday, April 15th at 8:00 p.m. With a background encompassing teaching, performing, conducting, arranging and composing, Dr. Bencriscutto has performed with the Fifth Army Band, the Eastman Wind Ensemble, was soloist with the Rochester Civic Orchestra and was featured Jazz soloist with the Minnesota Orchestra in 1970. He served as head arranger for the weekly broadcasts by the Fifth Army Band, and has composed a large amount of music for band and orchestra including two symphonies, several film scores, and a five movement Symphony Jazz Suite. One of the highlights in the history of the University of Minnesota Concert Band Ensemble was a sevenweektourthrough the USSR in 1969 concluding with a White House performance in the USA. The band was enthusiastically welcomed wherever they performed in Russia. As a result of the unusual success of the Soviet Tour, Dmitri Shostakovich, on behalf of the Soviet Government, invited Dr. Bencriscutto to be the honored guest of the Soviet Union during the International Tschaikowsky Competition in Moscow in June of 1970. Tickets for the performance in Thunder Bay are $1.00 for adults and 50¢ for students and are available at all High Schools. Student Placement Applications are being received at the Placement Office for the following positions: Tree Planters - Department of Lands and Forests, Province of Ontario. Waitresses and Cabin Girls for various resorts in Northwestern Ontario. Also of interest to concerned students, there are �various job opportunities coming open in relation to specific projects funded by the Federal Government in the area. There is a diversity of positions requiring responsible students (i.e. - research help and teaching help in the field of regional communications). Further information is available now at the Placement Office. Vote To Determine Building Of Student Centre In a letter distributed this week to all students, Pat Flanagan, Chairman of the Student Building Fund and AMS President, proposed the construction this summer of a Student Centre to increase space available for Student Club offices, and include special student facilities including lounges and a ballroom. Plans include the renovation of the presently vacant house located north-west of the main entrance to the University entrance, along with the construction of an addition providing some 6,440 square feet. The existing building will include some 2,898 square feet of space for a total of 9,338 square feet. The extension will be constructed to allow for future expansion and the overall exterior design will reflectthe Tudor influence. Students also received a ballot with the letter that contains two areas of response: 1. Are you in favour of a student centre? 2. Are you in favour of a $5.00 student building Fund fee to be added to your fees to help pay for your student centre? Fifty-one percent of students must vote on this matter before any decision can be reached, and a majority of fifty-one percent of the total of those votes would have to be favourable in order to allow construction to begin early this summer. It is hoped that the project would be completed for use in September of this year. Inter-Provincial Library Agreement The Ontario Council of University Librarians, an affiliate of the Committee of Presidents, and its counterpart in the Province of Quebec, the Conseil de coordination des bibliotheques des universites du Quebec, recently concluded an agreement to reciprocate acceptance of faculty introduction cards issued by university libraries in each jurisdiction. University faculty members from Quebec and Ontario will now be able to visit and use university library facilities in either province. Regulations to apply for inter-provincial visiting privileges will be those of the host library in each case. Introduction cards for Lakehead University faculty are available in the office of the Reference Librarian. This latest step widens the original cooperative-use agreement first implemented by Ontario university libraries in 1967 to give faculty members and graduate students access to all university library resources in Ontario. Research Grant Dr. R.G. Rosehart of the Department of Chemical Engineering, Lakehead University, has been awarded a $7,000 grant from the National Advisory Committee on Water Resources Research, a division of the Department of Fisheries and Forestry of the Federal Government. The money will be used for the detection and economic removal of Arsenic from mine process waters. This is an extremely important problem in many parts of Canada including Northwestern Ontario. LU Week Summer Schedule With hope in our eyes, but trepidation in our hearts, the LU WEEK will go to what we anxiously refer to as our "Summer" Schedule. Further issues of LU WEEK will be published on an irregular basis, although a bimonthly edition will be published whenever possible. As a result of this, anyone having information to be published that is dated, is asked to inform the Information Office at the earliest possible time in order that it might be scheduled for publication in an edition printed prior to the occasion. We look forward to receiving news of special spring and summer events and accomplishments as well as special feature material. �ftr lircry Ust W88KILl Thursday April 15 even~s Minnesota University Band under the direction of Dr. Frank Bencriscutto, will perform at Selkirk Auditorium, at 8:0G p. m.

Ayre, Secretary and Registrar of Lakehead University received information regarding an award given to a most notable graduate of Lakehead University. Dr. Dominic Lam, a Research Fellow at the Harvard Medical School, was awarded a Canadian Medical Association Centennial Fellowship in the amountof$11,000. Dr. Lam entered Lakehead University as a first year Science student in September 1964, completing his Honors B.Sc. in May of 1967. He continued his studies at the University of British Columbia where he fulfilled the requirements for the Masters in Science degree in the spring of 1968. He completed his Ph.D. degree in Physical Biology at the University of Toronto in the spring of 1970, and in the same year commenced post-graduate work at the Harvard Medical School. Dr. Lam has indicated that his brother Joseph hopes to commence his degree program at Lakehead University in the coming academic year. Centre To Be Extended Following the successful Parent-Child Pre-School Centre at the Windemere Nursing School in St. Michaels and All Angels Church, it was decided to have a "mini-centre" for six additional weeks, starting Tuesday, April 13, 1971.

While the main purpose of the University's IBM/360 Model 50H is not fun and games, anyone who has taken the opportunity to learn how to use the computer has been challenged to a number of matches of X's and O's by "the beast". The computer at Lakehead University serves growing demands as a teaching supplement, resource centre and administration tool. With 17 terminals serving students, faculty and staff, it teaches full courses acts as a course aid, produces maps, and statistical tables, solves problems, organizes data, analyzes information, prepares student records, looks after accounting records and writes paycheques to mention just a few of its capabilities. It seems natural to assume that students in mathematic courses would find use for the computer, but in fact, any student can use the computer ... program it to meet specific requests and needs. Members of faculty find the computer invaluable in assisting with research work, performing endless calculations with speed and ease and postulating formulae for the solution of highly complicated problems. x. .. ~ .. ~~- .. .;~ -~ . ..-::..._.. ,· Established in 19'Ef7, the Compufflr Centre first operated with an IBM Series 360 Model 40H, the capacity of which was nearly full by late 1969.

A new cooperative effort amongst the Universities of Ontario was recently instituted by the Computer Co-ordination Sub-Committee of the CPUO. Under this program, universities are beginning to exchange programs and a central clearing house will soon be established to allow all universities in the Province access to a central source of information. Lakehead University is represented on this committee by Mr. W. Bilyk, Department Head in Academic Services. So if you haven't been introduced to our computer, why not drop by the Computer Centre in the Main Building. The excellent staff and the affable computer itself are most willing to help you out in any way they can. �Towards Two Thousand The following is the final half of the opening chapter of Towards Two Thousand: Post-Secondary Education for Post-Industrial Ontario. The study of post-secondary education, completed by the Committee of Presidents of Universities of Ontario subcommittee on research and planning, will be submitted to the Commission on Post Secondary Education in Ontario and published by McClelland and Stewart. This excerpt was prepared by Subcommittee Chairman John Porter, professor, Sociology and Anthropology department. Despite the fact that he is rationalizing his world through science and technology, man will never be totally rational or wholly intellectual. In fact, in the world of the future we might expect an extension of those patterns of behaviour which we can now see and which are, in effect, a reaction to overrationalization of life and to impersonal bureaucratic forms of organization. The new culture of science and technology will no doubt impose an efficiency on many areas of life through the application of scientific method to the management of social institutions. Living in a world thus rationalized, people will seek new forms of escape or adaptation in the search for new forms of transcendental experience. These experiences will be sought in a variety of ways: through drugs, through new sexual morality, through withdrawal to isolated and occult communities. Institutions of higher learning may well have to consider developing studies of these phenomena, and to search for ways in which the non-intellectual needs of man can be served. Universities have had their origins in, and until recently have been closely linked to, the traditional religious denominations. While there is not likely to be any great religious revival in the traditional sense, there are likely to be increasing movements in search of new meaning and experience to counter the rationalization of society's major institutions, and, perhaps, to meet a need of one of the dimensions of many-dimensional man. In the world of the future, therefore, higher educational needs will by no means be confirmed to the production of scientists and technologists. Although as we have just said the highly trained human resources required in the future will run across all intellectual disciplines, the training of scientists - and here we would include social scientists and managers as their disciplines become increasingly based on mathematics - poses particu- larly difficult problems for the post-industrial age. As the society and the knowledge upon which it is based become more complex, it becomes more difficult for individuals to assimilate the increased amount of complex knowledge that must be acquired. The possibilities of serious shortages of people who can handle the greater levels of complexity of knowledge are great. Thus there must be a very real talent search through all social levels and groups. This need is a long-term reality which the current furor about unemployed PhD's should not be permitted to mask. But the assimilation of knowledge is difficult and learning is irksome. Hence, able people must be motivated to study, and not be lost as a vital social resource because of environments or circumstances which inhibit their growth. There is no substitute for hard work or for high quality. Universities have always had a great concern for excellence, for developing the very highest of human potential. In whatever system of higher education emerges this quality of excellence should not be downgraded. For many the notion of excellence has elitist connotations, and hence they believe it contradicts the ideal of equality which has quite rightly become one of the most important criteria by which modern societies are judged. Indeed, educational systems have been severely criticized for streaming practices which give special consideration to those who give early evidence of superior ability, since it is the middle and upper class children whose abilities become most apparent, while lower in the socioeconomic scale in sub-cultures less conducive to learning, children cannot so easily demonstrate their abilities. However, it is wrong to make the same kind of judgements about the social effects of sorting out excellence at the level of the higher learning, because it is indisputable that human beings are uneiqual in terms of-the amount of complex knowledge they can assimilate. A system of higher education must assume or at least argue strongly for a system of education at the lower levels which constantly seeks to eliminate, as far as possible, the social effects of poor learning environments. We would visualize for Ontario, a highly pluralistic or differentiated post-secondary system in which many needs and levels of ability would be served, including some degree of open admissions for particularly deprived groups. Within this differentiated system, however, there must somewhere be special concern for excellence and for the education of all the good brains that can be mustered. �·-:~•-1', ..,. : ;. ' \ We have placed great emphasis on the increased role of science and technology in the post-industrial world. There are important consequences of that development which should be considered by those planning post-secondary education. One of these, for example, is the way the world of work becomes changed by the creation of new occupations and specializations. At the same time sets of older occupations become reorganized while others are destroyed altogether. The professional division of labour is likely to proliferate and to become increasingly hierarchical from the most highly trained specialists at the top of the paraprofessional workers at the base. Thus new professional and paraprofessional workers will contribute peculiarly specialized tasks to a cooperating work group, while the solo practising professional is likely to disappear because he cannot possibly acquire himself all the complex knowledge and skill that science has made available to him. Professional self-regulation and monopoly will probably be greatly reduced by the public concern for the adequate delivery of professional services such as law, ·welfare and medicine. Educational requirements, then, will range from the need for the most highly specialized worker whose training culminates in post-graduate research institutes, on the one hand, to the skills of the technologist and technician whose training is most appropriately provided at the polytechnic or college level, on the other. One effect of this hierarchical structure of professional work and education is that people can become cut off from advancement because their training is limited and they are forever labelled as paraprofessionals. The educational processes of the future should be such that they provide for continuity and the acquisition of higher qualifications. All those on profesafonal teams will be linked together by new applications of computer technology in, for example, medical diagnosis, library retrieval and programmed learning. The last-mentioned of these computer applications reminds us that new technologies are being and will continue even more to be applied to the educational processes. Many who feel overwhelmed at the increasing costs of post-secondary education look to the new technology to make savings. This may or may not prove to be the case, but there are various new approaches that deserve the most careful consideration by educational planners. What must also be considered is the possibility of improving pedagogical techniques to facilitate the assimilation of knowledge. Another feature of post-industrialism which educational planners must seriously consider will be the way in which different societies will penetrate and intervene in each other's activities. This will create new needs for trans-national co-operation through new trans-national institutions. It would be possible for any one society to achieve the benefits of the future by becoming absorbed in the more rapid advance of another one - a fate that many Canadians fear as so many of their own institutions become absorbed by or linked with those of the United States, particularly the two most significant carriers of post-industrialism: the modern multinational corporations and the universities. Perhaps there would be nothing wrong with such absorption if the culture of post-industrialism is homogeneous. One sure mechanism for such absorption is to rely on external recruitment of highly qualified people as an alternative to training them at home. It is possible that in the interpenetrating world of the future the most positive means of preserving national identities will be the continued expansion of educational opportunity because of the crucial role of knowledge in innovative capacity, a quality essential to foster in order to make distinctive national contributions to post-industrialism and so to maintain a national saliency, that is, to appear in the world as a society that does something particularly well. Canada's potential in this respect is partly dependent on the future of national science policy and its effects on research. Outside of the field of science, the development of national culture - in the broad sense of a distinctive way of life as well as distinctive artistic expression will also depend on the expansion of educational-:::::.:~ resources. Among the English-speaking provinces Ontario, because of its wealth and its large French-speaking population, should lead in the development of francophone education at all levels as one dimension of the purpose of achieving a national identity through educational activities. These considerations take us well beyond the provinces as parts of Canada and raise questions that must be faced on the future role of the federal government in the financing and planning of postsecondary education. There are manV other aspects of the society of the future which are highly relevant to planning to over ..... . .................. �E;YQr')n~p§ em mee~ings Wednesday ~ QdQ ~ L ~ttee April 28 Canada, w ith Mr. Mel Hurtig, 8 p.m. U.C.T., FREE Thursday Engineering Society Stag, Aesthetics April 29 Lounge, 8 p.m. Friday Lecture and Demonstration ir PotApril 30 tery with Mr. Roman Bartkiw, Room MB1021 Saturday Engineering Student Society Wind-Up May 1 Party, Faculty Lounge, 8 p.m. FINAL April 28 EXAMINATIONS UNDER WAY UNTIL MAY 1st ....... continued post-secondary institutions. For example, students will have had quite different child -rearing and early educational experiences than in the past; the egalitarian ideology will no doubt be more strongly articulated with new demands for higher education as a social right; because they are sources of innovation, because they have great talents at their disposal, universities will be looked to more and more to provide guidance in a rapidly changing world, guidance which includes continuing critical • :,appraisals of the present state of affairs. The in•· •>;$tituticns of higher learning must free themselves of vested interests in order to strengthen the entire society that sustains them rather than only privileged parts of that society.

L£ ~ /l!Kt..l!J ~weeK a publication of the Lakehead University information office C.P.U.O. Becomes C.O.U. At its regular monthly meeting on April 16, 1971, the Committee of Presidents of Universities of Ontario approved a constitutional amendment to change the name of the organization to Council of Ontario Universities/Conseil des Universities de !'Ontario, effective May 1, 1971. A recommendation to re-name the universities' collective organization had been made to CPUO at an earlier meeting by a special subcommittee set up to study development of the Ontario university system. The current name has for some time been a misnomer, reflecting the origins of the body when only university presidents were members, but it has not been consistent with the organization's current pattern of membership and range of activities. Beginning in September 1967 presidents were accompanied at meetings of CPUO by non-voting colleagues. In March 1970, by constitutional amendment, each provincially assisted university became entitled to two full members - the president and a colleague selected by the senior academic governing body of the university. The Council of Ontario Universities/Conseil des Universites de !'Ontario retains the original objects of the Committee of Presidents, which are "to promote cooperation among the provincially assisted universities of Ontario, and between them and the Government of the Province, and, generally, to work for the improvement of higher education for the people of Ontario." No changes in organization accompany the change in name. The current organization is described in the Fourth Annual Review of CPUO, Variations on a Theme, published in the Fall of 1970. Beginning May 1, 1971, the offices of the Council of Ontario Universities/Conseil des Universities do !'Ontario will be at 102 Bloor Street West, Toronto 181. Dialogue '71 at LU May 10th, 11th and 12th will see over 200 delegates from all over the Province of Ontario register for Dialogue '71, to be held at Lakehead University. Individuals from secondary schools, universities, government and other concerned bodies will take this time to discuss problems and ideas related to the presentation of educational goals to students. Sessions on 'communication', the relevance of information programs, the meaning of secondary and post secondary education in relation Volume 3 Dt.C Number 29 May 7 {,,t971 :: .. to goals, retraining, the graduate and the labour force, admissions procedures and financial assistance will offer a high degree of involvement to all those in attendance. Special guests for the sessions will include Dr. Donald Ivey, Principal of New College, University of Toronto; Mr. D. T. Dingwall, Regional Co-ordinator of the Ontario Manpower Retraining program; Mr. Gower Markle, Director of Education and Welfare for the United Steelworkers of America and Mr. B. G. Wells, National Personnel Director of Thorne, Gunn, Helliwell and Christenson. During the conference, a special banquet will give visitors the opportunity to sample delicacies with a special Northern atmosphere. LU to Offer 'Immersion' Courses Mr. A. A. Benning, Executive Assistant to the Minister of University Affairs confirmed with Dean T. Ryan that Lakehead University is to be one of the participants in the Summer Language Training Program. This program is operated with federal funds and administered by a provincial officer appointed by the Council of Ministers of Education of Canada. Beginning July 4th until August 18th French 1b6 and English 1p6 (English as a Second Language) will be offered in an 'immersion' program which involves attendance to regular 'lecture' type classes, laboratory sessions, conversation sessions, round-table discussions and social functions. Monitors, some of whom will be living in residence with the students will offer supervision and ensure that each student spends a maximum time using the language which he or she is learning. A number of bursaries will pay for residence costs and tuition fee and provide some money for expenses. Travel costs will be the responsibility of the student. To enrol a student must: -Be a Canadian citizen or a landed immigrant permanently established in Canada. -Not be holding a remunerated position at present or have held a remunerated position during the previous year. -Be preferably between the ages of 18 and 25. -Be willing to live in the Lakehead University residence for the period of the course. -Show a genuine interest in acquiring a work·ing knowledge of a second language. -Meet the admission requirements of Lakehead University. (basically Ontario grade 13 or Quebec grade 12 or equivalent) �Senate Action On Saturday, May 1st, the Senate of Lake head University discussed once again the case of Mr. V. G. Wightman, Assistant Professor of Sociology. Mr. Wightman, who was employed at the University on a probationary basis. (as are all new faculty members), was informed in June 1970, that his contract would not be renewed after June 30, 1971. On March 16th, without any formal request for a review of the matter having been made, a small group of individuals (including both students and non-students) began a sit-in in the corridor outside the President's Office. On the second day of the sit-in, the Executive Committee of the Alma Mater Society (the elected student government) withdrew its support of the sit-in on the grounds that the Administration was following the procedures and was not impeding Mr. Wightman in his attempt to appeal to the Canadian Association of University Teachers. The demonstrators, calling themselves the "Students for Arbitration Committee", ignored the decision of the student government and continued their sit-in for approximately three-and-one-half weeks. In the meantime, considerable effort by several bodies and individuals was made to reach a mutually-satisfactory arrangement to review the academic reasons for the non-renewal of Mr. Wightman's probationary contract. Finally, on April 3rd, after lengthy consultation with the Faculty Association, the C.A.U.T., the Board of Governors, the Executive Committee of Senate, the faculty Mr. Wightman (and to three other faculty members whose probationary contracts were also not renewed) of an Ad Hoc Committee to review the academic reasons for the nonrenewal of his contract and to report its findings to Senate. The Ad Hoc Committee was to be composed of three faculty members of the University acceptable to both the President and the appellant. The appellants were given ten days to decide whether they did or did not wish to avail themselves of such a procedure. Two of these four faculty members indicated that they had no wish to pursue their cases any further. A third accepted the Senate's offer. Mr. Wightman, however, would accept the offer only "in principle" but rejected the terms of reference as established by Senate. In conversation with the President, he confirmed that he would not accept the offer with the existing terms of reference. Then on April 16th, three days after the deadline set by Senate, Mr. Wightman informed the President that he would accept the offer but would ask Senate to change the terms of reference at its next meeting (i.e. May 1). In the interim, Mr. Wightman and a representative of the President were able to reach agreement on three individuals to be members of the Ad Hoc Committee. The procedure followed in the selection of the names ensured that they would remain confidential until after Senate had the opportunity to discuss Mr. Wightman's request to alter the previously approved terms of reference. At its meeting on Saturday, May 1st, Senate voted to allow Mr. Wightman's late acceptance of the offer, and further agreed that Mr. Wightman could address the meeting in support of his requested alterations to the Committee's terms of reference. Mr. Wightman spoke and answered questions posed by the Senators for approximately twenty-five minutes. The Senate then debated the question of altering the existing terms of reference of the Ad Hoc Committee. The terms of reference were not changed. A motion was then passed which stated "that Senate will not tolerate any pressure or interference with the considerations of such Ad Hoc Committees, and if any is applied, then the activities of the said Ad Hoc Committees will be immediately terminated". A student senator then inquired whether the two faculty members whose cases were to be reviewed by the Ad Hoc Committees could appeal the decisions of these Committees to the permanent appeals board which is under discussion at the present time. The Chairman of Senate stated that it was his understanding that such an appeals board would only review future cases and that the present cases would be reviewed by the Ad Hoc Committees. The Senate concurred with the Chairman's interpretation of the situation. After the Senate meeting, the President, Mr. Wightman, and the President of the Faculty Association met and the names of the members of both Ad Hoc Committees were made known. Unfortunately, one of the agreed-upon members of Mr. Wightman's Committee will not be able to serve due to a necessary absence from the campus for the next two months. The procedure previously adopted for naming members was then re-activated and a third name should be forthcoming presently. Prior to, during, and after the Senate meeting, a small group of demons!rators (including both stu- �1, dents and non-students) picketed outside the Senate Chambers and accosted Senators entering and leaving the room. Approximately two hours after the Senate meeting this group of demonstrators, including Mr. Wightman, began to demonstrate in front of the home of the President of the University. Ignoring warnings that they were liable to prosecution for trespassing on private property, the demonstrators continued to block the front entrance to Dr. Tamblyn's home. Finally, the police were required to take action, with the result that ten of the group were refused to leave the property were arrested. Of these ten, five were not students at the University. The remaining demonstrators then dispersed. At a meeting on Monday, May 3rd, the Senate Executive Committee passed the following motion: "The Senate Executive Committee deplores the actions of the demonstrators in front of the Chairman of Senate's residence following the meeting of Senate on Saturday, May 1st, 1971." In the meantime, the University is continuing its efforts to find a third member for the Ad Hoc Com~ittee so that Mr. Wightman's case might be reviewed by three of his academic colleagues.

AMS Shinerama - May 21 - 24 Library Expansion For September 1971 Beginning in May a number of changes will be made within the library building to increase library accommodation and improve services to readers. Notably, seating capacity will be increased by over 200 seats, the majority of which will be individual seating for private study. In addition, smoking areas will be designated on both second and third floors, and further space will be available for shelving books. This expansion is being achieved by a series of moves of both user and staff functions, as well as re-locating some of the academic activities at present housed in the library building. Government documents will be gathered together in the present classroom 0015. This will provide space in the reference room for the microfilm and microcard material and readers which are at present on the fourth floor. The acquisitions staff, at present on the second floor (Room 2003), will move to the ground floor, where other staff operations are also being concentrated. The vacated area on the second floor will become available for reading. Similarly the serials department office space is being consolidated and Room 2002 will be available for reading and typing. The rare books collection will be housed in enlarged quarters in space which is now occupied by faculty offices on the ground floor near the tunnel entrance. Some of the general book collection will be moved up to the fourth floor in an enlarged space now occupied by the microfilms. There will be some space for reading here also. On the third floor the seating will be greatly increased and a small arrangement of casual lounge furniture will be set up on the north end of the building for reading. Smoking will be permitted in this area. This work is planned to be completed during the summer.

Volume ~ D\:.C n Number 30 May 21, 1971 Vice President Appointed At Lakehead University Mr. J. M. Fleming, Chairman of the Lakehead University Board of Governors announced on Thursday of this week, the appointment of Dr. W. Donald R. Eldon as Vice-President of the University. Dr. Eldon was recommended to the Board by the President, Dr. W. G. Tamblyn, and had been endorsed unanimously by the Senate. A Vice-Presidential Search Committee, comprising representatives of the Board, Administration, Senate, Faculty, and Students, had also recommended Dr. Eldon for the position. In this newly-created position, Dr. Eldon, who will join the University in September, will primarily be responsible for providing academic leadership and for co-ordinating academic activities, policies and plans as determined by the Senate. Dr. Eldon's experience as Associate Dean of Arts and Science and as Acting Chairman of the Department of Economics and of the Department of French Studies at Trent University has provided him with considerable insight into the problems facing a young university in Ontario in the Seventies. Dr. Eldon is currently on a sabbatical leave from Trent University, where he is a Professor of Economics. He is pursuing his research in England with the support of a Nuffield Foundation Fellowship. Dr. Eldon received his B.A. at the University of Western Ontario, taking the gold medal in Honours History. He received his M.A. and Ph.D. in Economics from Harvard University. His publications include "Toward a Well Informed Parliament"; "Transport Costs as a Factor in Price Spreads of Food Products"; "Review of Federal Transportation Statistics"; "The 'Public Interest' in the Combines Investigation Act" as well as studies prepared for the Economic Council of Canada, the revised editions of which will be appearing in print shortly. Prior to joining the faculty at Trent University, Dr. Eldon served as an Assistant Economist for the C.N. R. Department of Research and Development, was the Director of Research for the Progressive Conserv~tive Party of Canada, and was an Assistant Professor of Economics at the University of Western Ontario in London. Dr. Eldon has served as a consultant to the Royal Commission on Price Spreads of Food Products, the Royal Commission on Transportation and the Economic Council of Canada and has been a member of the Tariff Board and the Restrictive Trade Practices Commission. He was also an Associate in the consulting firm of Kates, Peat, Marwick and Company and acted as a member of the Advisory Board for AngloPermanent Corporate Holdings Limited; Fiscal Investments Limited and H. E. Hartley Consultants Limited. Dr. Eldon is a Fellow of the Royal Economics Society, and a member of the Canadian Economics Association and the Information Industry Association . Born in London, Ontario, Dr. Eldon was married in 1958 to Jean Elizabeth McLennan of Brantford. They have two children. �Campus Notes □ The School of Business Administration is assisting the Association of Municipal Electrical Utilities in planning a Conference to begin June 10th. Over 250 managers of utilities thoughout the Province will be in attendance. Further information will be printed in a future edition of the LU Week. □ Some thirty colleagues and students gathered Wednesday, April 28th in the home of Dr. W. S. Morris, Chairman of the Department of Philosophy to honour Dr. Frank M. Doan on the completion of ten years service at Lakehead University as Professor and Departmental Chairman. The occas ion was marked with the presentation of a gift to Dr . Doan of Platos Dialogues (Jowett Translation), The Basic Works of Aquinas and A. A. Bowman, the Sacramental Universe. □ The faculty of the School of Nursing, Lakehead University and the Lakehead Regional School of Nursing organized an lnservice Educational Conference April 18th and 19th. Dr. Beverley DuGas, a nursing consultant with the Federal Department of National Health and Welfare was the keynote speaker and resource person. Representatives from the various health agencies in Thunder Bay joined the teachers in discussion of the role of the Baccalaureate Nurse, the Registered Nurse, and the Registered Nursing Assistant in the hospital and the community. Mrs. D. Syposz, Mrs. C. Orlowski and Sister Barbara McKinnon were members of the planning committee. Staff Resignations President W. G. Tamblyn announced recently the resignations of two senior administrative officers of the University, Mr. W. D. Bohm and Mr. G. R. Lawrance. Mr. Bohm came to Lakehead University in August 1968 as the Director of Admissions and Records, and has been responsible since that time for the various aspects of admissions, registration, and implementation of a new computerized records system which will allow the University to meet the many requirements for data and analyses for both internal and external functions. Prior to coming to Lakehead University, Mr. Bohm was Assist- ant Director of Admissions at the University of Toronto and had had several years of experience with the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. Mr. Bohm will leave the University at the end of the summer to pursue post-graduate studies in Higher Education at the University of Toronto. The positions of Director of Admissions and Registrar will be combined, while the Secretaryship of the University, which had been combined with the position of Registrar, will become a distinct position, reflective of the increasing responsibilities involved therein. Mr. Lawrance joined the University in August of 1969 as the Director of General Services. In this capacity he has been responsible for the administration of food services, the bookstore and printshop, conferences and room bookings, the shopping mall, the development fund, office services and others. Mr. Lawrance's previous experience included over twenty years in industry, and he now plans to return to industry, in the field of communications. He will take up his new position, located in Columbus, Ohio, in June of this year. Mr. Lawrance's duties will be divided and assumed by a number of existing staff. Research Money Awarded The Department of Health of the Government of Ontario has granted an award to Professor Walter R. Crowe of the School of Business Administration to assist in the continuation of his research in the area of "Forecasting of Demand for Hospital Supplies". Professor Crowe will continue development for a computer based inventory control (demand forecasting) system which he designed for the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto and will spend some weeks in the Operations Research Department of the Birmingham Regional Hospital Board in England, investigating recent developments in the British Health Service towards computer usage and hospital supplies. Professor R. G. Rosenhart of the Department of Chemical Engineering received a research grant of $7,000 from the National Advisory Committee on Water Resources Research to carry out a research project entitled "Arsenic detection and investigation of economic removal facilities for mine process waters". �. ~ .. . .,. ~ • i\: •,' 'I /, \ 1 Graduate Studies Survey Dr. Melvin A. Preston, Dean of Graduate Studies at McMaster University, has been appointed executive vice-chairman of a committee which is to survey the whole area of graduate studies in all Ontario universities. While he was resigned his appointment as Dean effective July 1 and been granted leave of absence, he will maintain his connection with McMaster where, as Professor of Theoretical Physics, he will continue to supervise his own graduate students. The body where his executive leadership will be exercised is the Advisory Committee on Academic Planning. It has been charged by the universities of Ontario and the Department of University Affairs with making a thorough study of the entire graduate studies field in this province. Its recommendations will be aimed at making the best possible use of the human and financial resources available for post-graduate work. Born in Toronto, Dean Preston took graduate and post-graduate degrees at the University of Toronto and later studied for his doctorate in mathematical physics at the University of Birmingham. He was appointed to the McMaster faculty in 1953, becoming a full professor in 1959. In 1963 he was appointed chairman of the undergraduate unit in applied mathematics and, in 1965, Dean of Graduate Studies. Following his undergraduate studies at the University of Toronto, he served for three years as an officer in the Royal Canadian Artillery. He is much sought after as a lecturer in nuclear physics both in Cc;!nada and abroad. In 1961 he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada. COU Appointment The Council of Ontario Universities announced today the appointment of Dr. M. A. Preston as Executive Vice-Chairman of a newly established Advisory Committee on Academic Planning effective July 1, 1971. The Advisory Committee on Academic Planning was set up after extended discussion in the various provincial universities aimed at creating a structure to ensure effective planning and coordination of graduate studies on a province-wide basis. The Committee is to assist groups representing the various academic disciplines to plan the development of their respective areas of study. The Committee will also recommend to the Council the carrying out of major reviews of the state of selected disciplines from time to time, and supervise the conduct of such assessments. The first such review, of engineering education, was published by the Council in January 1971. The Council is planning to undertake a number of assessments of discipline development over the next several years. The tasks of the Executive Vice-Chairman will be to serve as a member of the Advisory Committee, to maintain liaison with discipline groups, and to make arrangements for the carrying out of discipline assessments. The establishment of the Advisory Committee on Academic Planning is the latest in a series of steps undertaken by the Committee of Presidents and the Ontario Council on Graduate Studies over the last several years, with the general aim of creating an effective system of graduate education to meet the needs of the province. Dr. Preston, a noted physicist, was born in Toronto, and received his PhD. from the University of Birmingham in 1949. He has served on the faculties of the University of Birmingham, the University of Toronto, and McMaster University. Since 1965 he has been Dean of Graduate Studies at McMaster University. Dr. Preston is a fellow of the Royal Society of Canada. Shinerama Conference From May 21-24, Lakehead University will be hosting the Ontario Shinerama Conference.

Chancellor Justice Laskin gave the Convocation address (printed in its entirety in this issue). A dinner for the Chancellor and special guests was held at the University following the ceremonies. �Chancellor's Speech Mr. President, Members of the Board and of the Senate, Members of the Faculty, Members of t'1e Graduating Classes, Ladies and Gentlemen: For me, this occasion, this Convocation, t :is ceremony of induction is suffused in remembrar ;e and in sentiment. It is invested with pride and w th exultation. One does not easily escape one's origins; but I c1n say, without reservation, that I have never ma,1e the attempt. The toll of years has not dimmed 1,,y appreciation of my antecedents. Indeed, time f-1s strengthened it; and there is the pleasing reminc-er that comes from a continuing family presence in your midst. But now, what has been a tie at 1019 distance has been converted, through the generous assessment of the President, the Board and the Senate, into a personal affiliation that restores, so to speak, my citizenship of this community. I thank all those associated with my election as Chancellor for the honour they have done me. My duties are ceremonial only; I have the satisfaction and reap the pleasure of conferring degrees and awarding diplomas, without being involved in the arduous - and sometimes even hazardous tasks of administration, tasks that are a necessary prelude to certifying candidates as qualified for graduation. I shall not speculate too much on the reasons that lift the Chancellor of Lakehead University above the maelstrom of events that engulf the Board and the Senate. Whether it be to allow him to act as an unofficial counsellor, able to bring both dispassion and compassion to the consideration of problems that beset the responsible academic administrators; or whether it be simply to ensure his neutrality on academic issues so as to have at least one blameless person in an administrative post, I do not cavil at a system that excludes me from membership of the Board and from membership of the Senate. My own particular circumstances make this a very congenial arrangement. And, in any event, how often is it that one can be part of a university, especially nowadays, where all is pleasure and there is no pain? My roots in university life have been deep. They have successfully withstood my separation as a faculty member almost six years ago; and however formal be my role as Chancellor, the position will surely carry enough nourishment to keep those roots alive and strong. Although I can look back upon more than thirty years of affiliation since entered university as an undergraduate, I do not offer this span of years as a measure of my credentials for occypying this platform. My words will have to be self-supporting if they are to earn any approval. ·• I risk the accusation of triteness in saying that the university - and I speak now of all universities in Canada collectively - has been affecting a II our social institutions. The point of this remark is simply to underline the fact that the one-time privacy of university life has been crushed between the pressures, internal and external, to which it has been subjected. Of course, it was never the whole truth that the university was a private enclave, whether this be related to the financing of its operations or to its teaching and research. There was, for example, (and there still is) a public presence in the Board of Governors, although its role was also a protective one. Yet it is a short recall to the days when Convocation exercises and Convocation addresses were looked upon as the formal means of introducing the graduating student to the world outside the university which had sheltered him and her for three or four or more years. In the past decade, it has become the greater reality that the world in its present state and in its social evolution is very much within the university; and graduation merely represents a readiness to test the fitness of the world to be lived in. What this connotes for me is a greater consciousness of the need to harness our intellectual resources so that we may hit upon the seminal ideas that will lead to the improvement of the human condition and of the social and physical environment. The university is the place where we should arrive at and arrange our ideas before we are moved to action. If it is to perform this function, it must be free of commitment to any particular orthodoxy, and it must not be enveloped in an atmosphere of immediacy. We cannot, of course, be detached from the immediate, from the present; and it would be folly to suggest that the university student be discouraged from involvement in the problems of the day. Indeed it is a fulfillment of one of the purposes of a university to induce such an involvement. I remind you of the words of Plato in The Republic: "You have received a better and more thorough education than those other philosophers, and are more capable of participation in both public life and philosophy. You �I' must, therefore, descend by turns to dwell with the rest of the city." What is good and proper for the student is no less so for the faculty member. The danger, however, to the core of university life - the utmost freedom of inquiry, the search for knowledge, regardless of utility - is that in the concern of faculty and students to improve the present, it may be thought necessary to commit the university itself to particular stances in the realization of a particular set of ideas. It is in objecting to such a view of the meaning of a university that I emphasize the point certainly not an original one with me - that a university is not like a railway or airline timetable, good for such and such routes at such and such times only. I realize that I strike here at a fundamental concern that has generally been expressed in the proposition that the university as an institution of society must itself be relevant to that society and to its problems. As a lawyer and a judge, I am not entirely innocent of the significance of relevance. One's appreciation of relevance must take account of the matter in issue. How it is defined is a telling factor in connection with relevance. Addressed to the university, we must avow what we consider to be its function and its role. For me, it must stand not so much inside society as outside it, able to see it objectively and able, hopefully, to count on society to support this kind of externality. There is, therefore, no call in me for the politicization of the university, no wish to turn it into a social pressure agency, no desire to oblige it to provide social justification for its existence in instant results. All of this is quite consistent with the expansion of university concerns, and with the reorganization of its administrative practices and procedures to embrace the wider spectrum of courses which now characterize its programmes. Indeed, it is a II the more necessary by reason of such expansion and reorganization that the university itself remain open and uncommitted, offering hospitality to diverse beliefs and resisting attempts to force upon it particular conformities, whatever be their source. I am aware of the deep responsibility which such a view of the university places upon professors and students if they are of the kind - as so many are who would take up the challenge of commitment to some desirable social or political end. They must be trusted, of course, to balance their extracurri- cular activism with their obligations under their approved teaching and learning programmes. The clash of interests among professors and among students suggests itself as a factor that supports such a balance; the inner strength of the univer-. sity is the greater in the degree of such diversity. Beyond that, apart from their own self-discipline there is the collective restraint of the institution in which they teach and study. In the past decade, what I may call university order has undergone strain and change. No doubt, the strain was a necessary prelude to change in many universities. Among the results has been a wider sharing of administrative responsibilities, a greater accountability for decision-making, a lessening of, if not an end to discretionary supervision over students. These have helped to make the university more a community than it had hitherto been. The reforms in university administration, in the interrelations of members of faculty, and in the relations of faculty and students have involved, of course, the introduction of new organs, new procedures, new rules of operation. In short, universities have been developing law systems to give the assurance of fairness in their treatment of faculty and of students and in the processing of complaints. I have detected, in my experience with some of these developments, a tendency to go from one extreme to another, that is, to react against the arbitrary discretion that may have existed in some places by seeking to bring all activity under specific rules. It is a hopeless pursuit, in addition to being bad administration. There must be room for the play of judgment, whatever be the machinery by which exercises of judgment are reviewed. This is especially so to sustain the civility of university life, which, I am sure, is one aim upon which we would all agree. I have been general, and perhaps even sober in what I have said. I do have other moods, and will look forward to proving to you on another occasion that your Chancellor is not always as solemn as he may have appeared to you today. The warmth of the welcome I have received assures me that I need not fear that I have not earned my home-coming. I am particularly happy that my predecessor in office, Senator Paterson, Lakehead's first Chancellor, has come to this Convocation. He does me honour by his presence, and it gives me great pleasure to stand in the robes of office which he wore with dignity and grace in his years of service to this university. �Use evenes W88KI~ Association Wednesday June 9 of Municipal Electrical Utilities Conference (June 9-12) meeeings Wednesday June 16 Canadian Mathematical Congress Summer Meeting June 1 6 - 1 8.

Local Art Talent Ken Campbell was born in Thunder Bay and raised in Peterborough. He returned to the Lakehead three years ago, and has completed the second year in Arts, majoring in Sociology. He plans to carry on in third year if his budding careers as musician and artist permit. He is currently on tour with a local pop group known as "Sunshower", but local people will more readily associate him with some quality art work which he has displayed at the Thunder Bay Fine Arts Show. Mr. Campbell has been painting and sketching for about ten years. His artistic interest has focussed on cartoons si nee about December 1970, when he became dissatisfied with the quality of local cartoons. In addition to about twenty cartoons in the Argus, Mr. Campbell has been published in J ., about ten other university and college student newspapers, including the University of Winnipeg, Dalhousie University, and the Northern Alberta I nstitute of Technology. The quality of his work was noticed by Comcrest, Ltd., who have included Mr. Campbell's work in their series of registered Canadian Talent Prints. According to his agent, Mr. Campbell is the only Canadian producing poster-size editorial cartoons, many of which are available at the Lakehead University Book Store. His father is a naturalist, and Ken Campbell was raised in an atmosphere of respect for nature, and much of his work reflects this background. His editorial approach is that of the Library Technology Project Twenty library technician students from the Lakehead University School of Library Technology will be employed this summer in a Library project entitled: LIBRARY TECHNOLOGY PROJECT FOR ELEMENTARY SCHOOL DEVELOPMENT - THUNDER BAY, which involves both the Public and Separate Elementary Schools in the Lake head area. This scheme is sponsored by the Federal Department of State and as part of the Opportunities for Youth Program and is valued at $20,200.00. The students will be employed for a thirteen week period commencing June 1. Officially, the purpose of the project is to assist the elementary schools in the Lakehead, comprising 22,800 pupils, in the setting up of instructional and resource centres where no library facilities exist. These students will be doing inventory, mending, processing, and cataloguing books in addition to setting up vertical and picture files. The first six weeks of the project will be devoted to assessing the exact needs of the various schools and then the actual planning and work in setting up the instructional and resource centres will begin.

Highlights of the Conference included the JefferyWilliams Lecture, delivered this year by Professor W. T. Tutte of the University of Waterloo, and the public lecture entitled "Fun With Elementary Geometry" which was presented by Dr. Z. P. Dienes of the University of Sherbrooke. New Athletic Set-Up As of May 1st, 1972, the Western Canada Intercollegiate Athletic Association will be dissolved and replaced by two new autonomous groups. The decision to disband the WCIAA was made at the Association's recent annual meeting in Calgary when Dr. Lou Goodwin, Director of Physical Education of the University of Calgary, was returned as President. The vast geographical area of Western Canada, coupled with expenses. were the key factors which led to the break-up of the WCIAA. For the 1971-72 schedule the organization will operate on a divisional basis prior to incorporation as two independent conferences. Likely universities to be members of the western conference are the Universities of Calgary, Alberta, Lethbridge, British Columbia and Victoria. In the east, Lakehead University of Thunder Bay, Ontario, newly affiliated with WCIAA, will join the Universities of Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Winnipeg and Brandon. courses was changed to June 21st.

Overseas Campuses The Faculty of Arts of Lakehead University will have two satellite campuses in Europe this summer. One is based in England with two centres: one at Corpus Christi College, Oxford University; and one at the Shakespeare Institute of the University of Birmingham. It is the first time Lakehead University has presented courses in Europe, although last year the Department of Languages held a summer session in Spanish in Mexico. Dean Ryan, Faculty of Arts, announced that "in early July, some Lakehead University students embark on two of the most fascinating educational experiences ever undertaken by the University. The first venture, studies in English at Oxford and Stratford-Upon-Avon, has been organized by the Department of English to provide the opportunity for students specializing in English to study Shakespeare and Modem Drama in areas where the Bard of Avon wrote and lived, and where modern drama is alive and expertly presented." Dr. George Merrill, Chairman of the Department of English, Lakehead University, will assume teaching duties for the first three weeks in England, after which the program wi II be continued by Mr. J. Dyroff, also of Lakehead University Department of English. Guest lecturers will be present from the University of Calgary as well as Birmingham University. The students will have the use of all facilities at the University of Caen and four of their weekends will include tours and field trips to places of interest throughout France. Participants wi 11 be lodged separately with French students, and it is expected that this total immersion will help them considerably in learning French and in understanding the language and culture of France. Teenage Drinking According to Dr. A. A. Asimi, Associate Professor of Sociology at Lakehead University, many social problems of today appear to be caused by cultural ambiguity. The historical tradition of North American culture derives its major components from the Puritan code of life. The prevalent way of life, however, is rooted more in the scientific faith, the doctrines of democracy and the spirit of individualism. Social thinking seems to wander somewhere between the objective-material-individualistic on the one hand and subjective-spiritual-communalistic on the other. Choices are not easy. An atmosphere of divided loyalty to these difficult-to-compromise sets of values confound social choices in most of our social acts. Once the academic part of the course is completed, the students have individual plans to tour the United Kingdom and Ireland to further broaden their understanding of English and Irish I iterature. The second of the two overseas programs wi 11 commence in Caen, France, also in early July. Among the courses offered will be credit courses in first, second and third year French. The instructors will be Associate Professor D. W. Lewis, Mr. A. Nabarra and Mr. M. Brial of the Department of Languages at Lakehead University, as well as one instructor from the University of Caen. Almost fifty students will take part in the program which took many months of careful planning on the part of Summer Session officials and members of the French Department of Lakehead University. Many of the students are receiving travel grants from the Pro- Dr, A. A, Asimi In such a cultural climate, young people are socialized not so much into anomie or normlessness as into cultural duplicity or value confusion.Consequently ,chi Idren, when they reach their "teen years", when they are expected to make independent social choices, find themselves confused, directionless, and above all enclosed in a subculture of their own, very nearly abandoned by the larger culture and the older generations. This, in many cases, leaves them bitter and alienated. Dr. Asimi, as a result of a survey which began in 1969 �and involved eight communities, has gained many insights into the way in which this cultural environment affects the drinking behaviour of teenagers in Northwestern Ontario. Following is a summary of some of his conclusions and comments. The level of teenage involvement in drinking in Northwestern Ontario is serious and portends to become even more serious in the future. Nearly 80% of teenagers across the region are non-abstainers, which is 8% higher than the Canadian population in general. More serious is the tendency of many young people, by their own admission, towards problem drinking and alcoholism. There are approximately 500 problem drinkers in eight Northwestern Ontario communities surveyed, while an alarming 2,310 show a high level of proneness to becoming problem drinkers. This is particularly serious when one considers that these people have a drinking career of forty to fifty years st ill ahead of them. Ar, important discovery of Dr. Asimi's research is that no clear evidence has been found to show that teenagers start drinking or are influenced toward further involvement with drinking by other teenagers. On the contrary, the decision to drink, or to develop an involvement with drinking is individually made which in turn prompts companionship and conformity with those who are situationally "in the same boat" and with whom the role can be freely carried out. In other words, peer conformity is more of a consequence of drinking rather than a cause. The primary reasons for teenage drinking relate to a sense of cultural appropriateness of drink1ilg, anticipatory socialization into a "normal" adult role, and a belief in the social and personal benefits of drinking. Adult drinking is common and generally condoned to any degree within the limits of individual manageability. Since teenagers are only one step away from adulthood it is understandable that they should wish to prepare themselves for the role awaiting them in the near future. Teenagers who perceive themselves as being more religious are less involved in drinking than those who consider themselves less religious. Comparatively, there is higher involvement among teenagers from families in the lower income bracket. Occupationally, there is more involvement at the two extremes - teenagers whose fathers are unskilled or semi-skilled workers and teenagers whose fathers are in the managerial, executive, or self-employed class are more involved than those whose fathers are skilled or professional workers. The parents' own involvement has little influence on teenage involvement, but parents' attitudes toward teenage drinking are significantly related to teenage involvement. Satisfaction with family situations tends to make it less likely for a teenager to begin drinking, or to develop a high level of involvement. Any attempt at control I ing teenage drinking must be based on a proper conceptualization of the problem of involvement. In Dr. Asimi's opinion, there are three major aspects of the problem: (1) the legitimacy of drinking per se (2) the desirability of drinking as a socio-cultural form and (3) the easy availability of beverage alcohol. "For what is legitimate (normatively) becomes desirable; what is desirable becomes internalized; and what is internalized is likely to remain both legitimate and desirable (motivationally). Or what is socially desirable often becomes personally needed. Obviously, not all teenagers are seriously involved, but even the small percentage who are should be cause for deep social concern. However, effort at control will remain futile unless the legitimacy and desirability of drinking per se are de-institutionalized through a universal rejection of drinking as a social form - something to be "tolerated" in a residual form but not to be "approved" in any form. Normal, wellmanaged drinking obviously presents no problem. But it is the normal, well-managed drinker who sometimes progresses to problem drinking." Research Agreement An agreement of scientific co-operation has been concluded between the National Research Council of Canada (NRC) and France's Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS). This agreement is effective June 1st, 1971, and will enable laboratories and research groups belonging to, or associated with the CNRS and those belonging to NRC or invited as participants by NRC to collaborate on research problems. The initial programs were established by the Council and CNRS before June 1st. Both NRC and CNRS will make $30,000 available annually to scientists from the other country, this sum to cover I iving expenses as specified in the agreement. �Each research program submitted is to detai l: - the exact nature of the proposed research - the participating research teams - the distribution of work among the participants - the expected cost of the program - the expected time period for which the co-operation wi I.I be needed.

Research Commission The board of directors of the Association of Universi- ties and Colleges of Canada has approved the estabI i shment of a commission to study, report and make recommendations on the mechanisms, structures and processes required to ensure that research undertakings in the universities of Canada can be planned to serve, without undue duplication, both the advancement of knowledge, and provincial, regional and national development. Without restricting the generality of the foregoing and while taking into account existing documentation, attention wi II be paid to: - the diversity of existing processes within the universities, within provincial systems and within regional groupings by which decisions affecting university research are initiated, implemented and evaluated; - the instruments through which individual, departmental, institutional. provincial, regional and national interests in university research efforts can best be fostered,· - the instruments through which provincial, regional and national interests in university research can be related; - the role of individuals and of groups of scholars in the development of university research programs; - the role of granting agencies, federal and provincial, private and public in university research; - the effect of research sponsored by one jurisdiction on university research supported by another jurisdiction; - any other related matters. The commissioners who have agreed to undertake this study are Dr. J. A. Corry, former principal, Queen's University and Dr. Louis-Philippe Bonneau, vice-rector Laval University. The investigations will begin in July 1971 and will end in June 1972. Inquiries and correspondence concerning the commission should be addressed to Dr. L. F. Michaud, Director of Research, AUCC, 151 SI ater, Ottawa, Canada. Campus Notes Dr. H. Loubat, Associate Professor of the Geology Department of Lakehead University is currently preparing for a research trip in conjunction with Dr. Aumento at Dalhousie University.

Instrumental Instruction - a non-credit course (July 12th - August 6th) offering individual instruction in piano, string and wind instruments, musical theory and ensemble playing for beginning and advanced students, at a fee of $60.00. Chamber Music Concerts will be offered without charge to all members of the University. For further information, contact the Extension Department (Ext. 210) or the Music Department (Ext. 444 or 344-0631 ). Off-Campus Housing The Off-Campus Housing Bureau is operated in conjunction with the Office of the Dean of Students. Its purpose is to help prospective students to find suitable accommodation while attending Lakehead University. This year, the task is being handled by Miss Susan Duke, who is a resident of Thunder Bay and a fourth year student at Lakehead University. Persons wishing information from the Off-Campus Housing Bureau can either call Miss Duke at Lakehead University, 345-2121, Ext. 726, or come to room UC 0003K, one of the interviewing offices located beneath the Agora. Accommodation listings are presently available for summer school students. Anyone wishing accommodations for the fall, however, will be placed on a mailing list, and will receive the fall listings in August. This procedure must be adopted due to the lack of housing listings for the July and August period. It is hoped that by the end of July there will be more places to offer students of the regular session. Area residents who have accommodations for rent are asked to call the Off-Campus Housing. Accommodations at present are very few. Rooms, room and board, apartments and houses are needed for both the summer and fal I terms.
