An Ad Hoc Committee of Senate, under the chairmanship of the Vice-President, Dr. W. D. R. Eldon, is in the process of preparing replies, on behalf of the University, to the Wright Commission's Draft Report on Post-Secondary Education in Ontario and its Final Report on Northwestern Ontario. Members of the Ad Hoc Committee addressed the Commission at its public hearings in Thunder Bay on March 6, seeking clarification, explanation, and i:notivation for the major points in the Draft Report. The Committee wi II present their findings and recommendations on both reports to Senate at a future meeting. Dr. Wilson explains that the need for such a book became apparent during research undertaken for an earlier book entitled Canadia1j11Education: A History, Prentice-Hall, Scarborough, 1970. It was felt by Dr. Wilson and his colleagues t!,at British and American texts were inadequate in helping students of Canadi an education to understand their own system. For example, issues such as bi-lingualism and the education of native peoples would not be touched upon in texts from other countries. New Minister of Colleges and Universities, the Honourable George Kerr, last week mistakenly informed members of the Alma Mater Society Executive that the Northwestern Ontario Report had been endorsed by the University's Faculty Association. The Minister apparently confused the University faculty with that of Confederation College, since no group within the University has yet issued cWl official statement on the final Northwestern Ontario Report. New Title Holt, Rinehart and Winston of Toronto has recently published a book entitled The Best of Times, The Worst of Times by H. A. Stevenson, R. M. Stamp, and J. D. Wilson. Dr. Wilson is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Hi story. The new book is a collection of readings from Canadian works on the major issues in Canadian education. Sources range from articles in learned journals, newspapers, magazines and even underground newspapers in order to ensure that a wide spectrum of Dr. J. D. Wi Ison and Friend The book is designed primarily as a springboard for discussion in such courses as the history of education, sociology of education, or particularly in courses concerned with the issues in Canadian education. The book deals with the primary, secondary and postsecondary levels of education, in addition to taking account of the relationships between education and leisure time. The Canadian focus of the book seems to assure its success. It has already been adopted as an official text by the University of British Columbia and Memorial University, Newfoundland. It will soon be ava·ilable through the University Book Store. Professors On The Move eon Tuesday, February 22nd, Dr. J. S. Griffith gave a seminar on 'Celestial Mechanics in the Twentieth Century' at York University and on the following day he gave the same seminar at the University of Toronto. After attending the 3rd. Ontario Universities Computing Conference, at which he represented Lakehead University on the Computer Science Discipline Group, he flew to Washington D.C. as a consultant to the United States Naval Observatory and gave a seminar on "Progress in Lunar Theory". On March 2/3he attended the meeting of the Division on Dynamical Astronomy of the American Astronomical Society at the University of Maryland where he read a paper entitled "Lie Transforms and Lunar Theory". eDr. Paul Satinder of the Department of Psychology has accepted invitations to various conferences in psychology over the spring and summer months. On March 24/25 he wi II take part in the program of the Behavior Genetic Association in Boulder, Colorado. He has also accepted an invitation to participate in the Canadian Psychological Association's symposia on "Animal analogues of human alcohol intake" in Montreal on June 21/23.

On March 17 this subcommittee introduced the following motion to the parent committee: That the Academic Planning Committee receive the report of the subcommittee and distribute it among the University community for the purpose of discussion prior to final consideration by the Academic Planning Committee. This motion was carried. Copies of the report may be borrowed from Departmental secretaries or the A.M.S. office. A summary will appear in the March twenty-ninth issue of Argus. The subcommittee urges all members of the University community to read its report before the Academic Planning Committee discusses it and prepares various motions to be introduced in Senate. On April 4 an open meeting will be held in the University Centre Theatre from 2 to 5 p.m., to receive reactions to recommendations contained in the report and to receive support for them. Let the voice of the University Community be heard. New Personnel Director Dr. W. G. Tamblyn, President of Lakehead University, recently announced the appointment of Mr. Hugh T. Renaud as the University's Director of Personnel. Mr. Renaud was born and educated in Toronto, receiving his B.Sc. Forestry from the University of Toronto in 1943. After serving in the Armed Forces, Mr. Renaud joined Kimberly-Clark Pulp and Paper Co. Ltd. in 1946, for whom he worked in Terrace Bay and Longlac unti I 1969, du ring which period he worked his way from camp foreman to Operations Superintendent, Woodlands Division. From 1962 to 1969 he was the Superintendent of Industrial Relations. In 1969 Mr. Renaud returned to the University ofToronto to pursue post-graduate studies in Business Administration, and from 1970 to the present he has been in the management consulting field. During the past eight months, he has both taught and done consulting work for Humber Col I ege. Mr. Renaud has been active in the Ontario Professional Foresters' Association, the Ontario Pulp and Paper Hugh T. Renaud Association, and the Northwestern Ontario Timber Operators' Association. For four years he served as a manber and Chairman of the Longlac Public School Board. Mr. Renaud has also published a number of papers in the field of industrial relations. University Committee At the meeting of the University Committee of Wednesday, March 15, Pat Flanagan, President of the Alma Mater Society, inquired as to what measures were being taken to enforce the University regulations concerning dogs and other pets on campus, since he had observed little improvement in the situation since discussion at the last meeting. Mr. Broug,ton replied that as of Monday, April 20, the University's security guards are authorized to call the Humane Society to remove any unleashed animals on campus. On the subject of the Poulin Award, presented annually to the graduating student who had best served the University during his years here, Dean Kerr stated that in the past a special committee had been formed each year to select the winner. He and the A.M.S. had recently agreed that the most appropriate body to select the winner was the University Committee. The Committee agreed to serve in th i s capacity. Dean Kerr added that nomination forms would soon be avai Iable through the office of the Dean of Students, and that any member of the University community is eligible to nominate candidates. �'·~;\ , • l/, /' \ The Committee was al so informed by the University President, Dr. W. G. Tamblyn, of University policy concerning the extension of financial assistance for student-organized activities. Effective immediately, the University will consider requests from individuals or groups of students for financial or other support for matters of interest to the general student body only if the request comes from the senior executive officer of the student organization in whose jurisdiction the matter lies (i.e.A.M.S.,S.S.S.,orS.A.S.) with the approval of the Executive or Counci I concerned. Al I such requests should be directed to the President's office. They will be considered on their individual merit. If financial support is extended, the money wi 11 be paid to the organization concerned, not to any individual. 1971-72 Supplementals Lakehead University Scheduler, Tony Cappello, announces that supplemental examinations for the current fal I/winter session wi 11 be held on August 1 - 4 inclusive. Students who wish to write a supplemental must apply no later than July 15, 1972. The prescribed fee per examination must accompany your application. Applications are available at the Office of the Registrar. Please make your application as soon as possible after receiving your final results. Please refer to the Lakehead University Calendar. Page 48. with reference to applications for incomplete status and examination re-appraisals. The Employment Scene accepted employment in the Thunder Bay area, while the remainder wi 11 be moving to Toronto, Ottawa, Sudbury, North Bay and other Ontario cities. The type of employment ranges from al I kinds of government \II.Ork to accounting, investment, marketing and general management. When questioned about the group's success, Mr. Schilke said, "It's a simple application of basic principles of marketing. Competition is keen, but the jobs are there. All you can do is itemize your strengths and sell yourself honestly. And if you have the ability, our experience has been that you have your choice of a few good positions." In Defence Of Arts According to the March issue of The Times of Saint Mary's University, Halifax, Nova Scotia, the University's President Dr. D. Owen Carrigan recently defended Bachelor of Arts graduates at a meeting of businessmen in Halifax. The problem with the arts graduate, he said, was that when he finished college he couldn't say that he was a skilled engineer, town planner or social worker. "And in our pragmatic society it is said that he therefore can't be plugged into any particular business." Dr. Carrigan said this attitude was all wrong. While the arts graduate may not have the skills that would prepare him for a specific task, he has acquired a set of skills which were invaluable in today's business world, he said. In three or four years in university, an arts student acquired the ski I Is of critical judgement, interpreting information, carrying out research in a variety of subjects, expressing himself in writing, and the skill of being able to analyze and come to grips with problems, he said. You may recall an article in the December 2, 1971 issue of LU. WEEK which mentioned an organized attempt on the part of graduating students in the Honours Bachelor of Commerce Degree Program to secure employment. Besides attending interviews organized on campus by the Student Placement Office, the Commerce group also sent separate letters to employers who were not planning to recruit in Thunder Bay. In addition, they collected their curricula vitae into impressive brochure form; and some of them even flew to Toronto and points east to visit with prospective employers. Dr. Carrigan said he didn't know of any business today that could be a success for very long "without having research skills on staff for short-term or longterm planning." Harvey Schilke, spokesman for the group, is pleased to announce that twelve of the fifteen graduating Commerce students actively seeking employment have secured promising career positions. Five have Businessmen, he said, often must hi re high-priced consultants to carry out market research and analysis. The Bachelor of Arts graduate acquired such skills during his years in college. With regard to acquiring the ability to interpret, he said, none could get through a Bachelor of Arts program without developing this kind of skill. �W88KIU even~s mee~ings Friday March 24 - Thunder Bay Symphony Orchestra Concert at Selkirk Auditorium, 8:30 p.m. -S.A.S.

Although he is a littleknown author, his work is of considerable merit. The great symbolist, Paul Verlaine, acknowledged the extensive influence of GI atigny on his own poetic development. The Association meets at McGill University, Montreal, May 29, 30 and 31. �To Test ... Or Not To Test According to John McDonnell, Registrar of Lakehead University, the Ontario Government is seriously considering withdrawal of financial support for the administration and maintenance for the battery of tests known as the Service for Admission to Col I ege and University (SACU). This battery of tests indicates verbal and mathemati cal ~titudes and achievements of students seekihg admission to university. It is widely accepted and applied across Canada. The Ontario University Cooner! on Admissions has requested that the Council of Ontario Universities emphasize to the Ontario Government that such a test is necessary. On Saturday, March 25, the Senate of Lakehead Uni . versity voted overwhelmingly in favour of supporting retention of the test battery. Dr. W. G. Tamblyn, President of 1he University, and Dr. J. S. Mothersill, the University's representative on C.O.U. promised to pass on the wi II of Senate at the next meeting of c.o.u. Mr. McDonnell argues that more various high school programs, coupled with the growing reluctance of principals and department heads to committhemselves on the ability and achievements of high school graduates, make it very difficult to form objective judgements regarding university admissions. He feels that without tests such as SACU provides, admission to university would be based nearly entirely on subjective criteria. University and Community Following is NI excerpt from the report of the subcommittee of the Senate Academic Planning Committee which was charged to recommend on the present and future allocation of academic resources at Lakehead University. How does a university serve its oommun ity? It does so in three distinct ways. First, by its very di sinterestedness, out of its concern for truth and beauty, out of its concern for the culture of man, the university is a primary link between a region, its nation, and the civilization of which it is a part. (And in our own historical moment, this means, really, not only western civilization, but world civilization). Culturally, the university is integrative. It learns and transmits: it is a community of students, scholars, rese~rchers, and artists, who study; teach; and publish, exhibit, and perform (and are in our time learning to use all the media of communication for this "transmission"}. Out of its integration of knowledge and the disciplines of the mind the university develops an internal relatedness and relevance, because it is concerned with the development of persons. It integrates the region with its nation through the study of its language, history, and literature (in our nation, tv.o languages). It integrates the region with the civilization and world beyond the nation through its various international and intercultural studies. The university transforms its region by broadening the cultural experience of the persons of the region. Because of the university, every person in the region can share according to his potential, in the rultural experience of man. Without a university, any region lives more or less in a cave. The university also serves its region by providing the professional training and study necessary for that region in terms of its culture. If a university cannot afford full programs in every profession, it must at least provide a full preparatory program leading to terminal study at other centres. Finally, a university serves its region by directing itself in its programs, studies, and research to the special character of its region and its resources and problems. This is probably the chief way in which a university acquires its unique "identity" (although general excellence and the imaginative way in which the university achieves all its aims also contribute to its identity). The Subcommittee feels most emphatically that the School of Forestry provides the University with its most outstanding opportunity to establish such an identity and most productively to serve the region in this respect. It recommends that the development of the School of Forestry be considered a major academic priorityof Lakehead University. In determining its a:ademic priorities the University is compelled, however it manages its resources, to do all that the above purposes and activities imply, although it may not be able to offer full programs in everything. It must integrate, both in its curriculum and in the way in which it proceeds. It must maintain a balance of priorities among its divisions. The University must be relevant. So if the University cannot maintain at the present time a School of Law and a School of Medicine, it can nevertheless offer courses of study leading to Law and Medicine, including at least courses through which students can anticipate the nature of advanced . study in those fields. �Operation Student Placement The new headquarters for Operation Student Placement, organized specifically to find employment for high school, college and undergraduate university students this year will be located on Oliver Road, adjacent to the C. J. Sanders Fieldhouse, and directly opposite the University's shipping and receiving facilities.

It is recognized by the Commission that these matters are being raised out of the context of its thought on the governmental organization as a whole. However, the Commission wishes to point out that the report as a whole is not predicated upon any particular attitude toward the Faculty question being raised herein. The implications of these recommendations for the Faculty of Education, in particular, have been considered only in sufficient depth to believe that they can be accommodated and that the special circumstances of this Faculty ought not to preclude their further consideration. Possible Recommendatiens The Commission is conside-ring the following recommendations: l. That, in the interests of facilitating the evolution of new academic relationships between and among Departments, the governmental organization of the University be simplified by not retaining the Faculty structure. 2. That the human resources at present related directly to the Faculties, namely the Deans, be reassigned according to a University-wide orientation of responsibilities. 3. That consideration be given to providing administrative assistance to the Departments in proportion to their size and/or requirements. 4. That consideration be given to the establishment of a University (Faculty) Council which would be composed of all of the faculty members of the University, and which would meet at least twice annually to receive and to comment upon a report from the President on the academicaffairs of the University. Rationale The alternative of a form of University organization without Faculties is predicated on two necessary, but not necessarily sufficient, assumptions: a) the relationships between and among Departments and the products of these relationships in courses, programs and research projects is what the University is primarily about; and b) these relationships, which are in essence academic, ought not to be restricted by the imposition of formal organizational correlatives. It is increasingly the case at this University and elsewhere that innovative academic activity is developing as a result of the interaction among departments from traditionally different structural groupings or Faculties. It is equally true that some departments are, or wish to be, involved in more than on :, academic grouping simultaneously. Some Departments on the other hand wish only minimal involvement with other Departments. Recommendation l concerning the non-retention of a Faculty structure would seem to provide the structural freedom and flexibility required by this situation. It would make easier the interaction between Departments, particularly those in different Faculties in our present system, and it would precipitate a closer working relationship between the Departments and the Senate. If we are to have a strong University academically, it will be achieved by having strong Departments; in order to maintain or develop strong Departments, the Senate must not only be strong itself but it must engage the Departments directly in the challenge for quality and it must assume the responsibility directly for the Departments' response to this challenge. The Faculties as intermediary structures can tend not only to militate against free interdepartmental activity across the University but also to dull the Senate's sense of responsibility for a Department's performance. If this recommendation was made and was subsequently adopted, the responsibilities and the status of the Departments would grow in direct �proportion to the quality of their response to their increased independence. The diagram below is intended to illustrate the nature of the relationships among the respective bodies which make up the contextofthisconcept. SENATE I I .__________, ~ ·t THE --- --____ J - - --- ! SENATE COMMITTEES '--------....1 I advi aory) DEPARTMENTS ..-- Reservations The concept of a university structure without Faculties raises many questions. We have thought of some of them and have considered possible responses to them as reflected in the possible Recommendations 2-4. Reservations about this proposal have been raised in the Commission on the questions of relating degrees to the various programs especially in Arts and Science, of how matters pertaining to particular Departments or disciplines would be handled, and of the means by which promotion and tenure recommendations would be made. The Commission believes that there are other implications of this concept which it has not yet appreciated; therefore it seeks the insights and opinions of the members of the Senate and of the University community at large. Members of the Commission invite the Senate and the University community to take part in hearings relevant to the above possible recommendations. The meeting will take place at l :00 p.m. on Thursday, April 20, in the Senate chamber. COU Speaks Out Against Fees Increase At a meeting in Waterloo on Friday, April 7, the Council of Ontario Universities issued a statement on the recent Government decision that tuition fees should be increased for all postsecondary educational programs. The Council of Ontario Universities deeply regrets the government decisions that tuition fees should be increased for all post-secondary educational programs. This step might be tolerable if it were accompanied by increases in aid available to a student. But the government has in fact decreased the grant portion of the Student Aid awards. Consequently the effects of the changes will be felt particularly by students with low financial resources. The decisions go in the direction of determining university opportunities for young people more by capacity to pay rather than capacity to benefit. It is apparent the changes were introduced in part as a deterrent to university enrolment. In our view, limitation of total enrolment, if found necessary by the government, could have been attained in much more suitable and fairways by advanced planning and consultation with the universities. During the development of the Ontario system over ten years, there had been a great deal of fruitful discussion between government authorities and university representatives. It seems to us highlyunfortunatethatinthis case an important condition under which the university community has been working should have been suddenly changed without prior notice or consultation. The recent decisions, coming within five weeks of the start of a new financial year, for which universities have already had to make practically all of their staff commitments, are as disturbing to university management planning as they are to the plans of individual students. We regard as punitive the rise in fees for graduate students in three term programs from $485 to $877.50 which confronts the student with an increase of 120 per cent over a two year period in which there was imposed a decrease from $5,000,000 to $3,000,000 in the Province of Ontario Graduate Fellowship program. This action follows government restrictions on payments to graduate students for teaching assistance, the imposition of new income taxes and consequent new char_ges for OHIP,-unemployment insu ranee and the Canada Pension Plan. There are two major consequences bf these cumulative changes in the financial position of graduate students. They create a position which is eminently unfair to the students already in course and they will have a disastrous effect on the quality of the universities of this province. Students will certainly not be attracted to even the best graduate programs in Ontario universities when they can receive more reasonable treatment in other jurisdictions. Without good students, we cannot have good graduate schools. In the l 950's the decision was made to develop the Ontario universities and under the ministry �New Ministry Established The new Ministry of Colleges and Universities came into existence when The Government Reorganization Act, 1972, received Royal Assent on April 7. In accordance with recommendations made by the Committee on Government Productivity, the Ministry of Colleges and Universities is part of the Social Development Policy Field, along with the Ministries of Education, Health, and Community and Social Services. Following is a brief summary of the functions of the former Department of Colleges and Universities, and the branches and agencies which will be associated with the new Ministry. The Department of Colleges and Universities Initially responsible for the university sector of post-secondary education, the Department of University Affairs was established in 1964 to provide operating and capital support to the 14 provincially assisted universities and related Ontario cultural institutions, and to administer programs of financial aid to students. In October 1971, the Department of University Affairs became the Department of Colleges and Universities, assuming responsibility for Ryerson Polytechnical Institute, and for the 20 colleges of applied arts and technology. The Industrial Training Branch, formerly with the Department of Labour, is responsible for ensuring an adequate supply of properly trained men and women at the journeyman level through its apprenticeship programs; for providing industry with occupational skills by training, retraining or upgrading; for developing more flexible and effective methods of conducting industrial training; and for establishing and maintaining standards of proficiency in particular trades through a system of compulsory and voluntary certification. Registered Nursing Assistants' Schools, present- ly operated by the Department of Health, will be administered by the Applied Arts and Technology Branch after April 1, 1972. Public Records and Archives, to be known in future as "Archives of Ontar•o" is comprised of Archives, for the preservation of records of value as well as material on the history of the province; Records Services, concerned with the records management systems of the Government; and the Historical Branch, which administers archeological research, gives technical advice and assistance to museums, and does background research for Government historical developments to ensure authenticity. The Ontario Heritage Foundation was established in 1967 to be responsible for the acquisition, preservation and restoration of property of historical and architectural interest. The Province of Ontario Council for theArtswas created in 1963 as an independent agency responsible to the Minister of Education. The Council provides financial assistance to arts groups in Ontario and encourages cultural development in community life and in school curricula. The Provincial library Service devotes its attention to the coordination of and service to the public, county and regional libraries established under the Public Libraries Act. PLS administers provincial funds for library purposes; plans and promotes training programs for library personnel; encourages library research; collects, preserves and publishes library statistics; publishes professional journals and certifies librarians. The Ontario Educational Communications Authority was established in June 1970. The OECA has been given broad responsibilities for programs and materials in educational broadcasting and communications. Prior to that, it was known as the Educational Television Branch (ETV) of the Department of Education. The Ontario Science Centre, on Don Mills Road, was opened in September 1969, as a Centennial Project of the Province of Ontario. The Science Centre is visited by approximately 1,300,000 people a year, including both studentgroups and members of the general public. �New Engineering Degree Program Program Architects: Dr. H. S. Braun, Dr. W. G. Tamblyn, Dr. G. Fleming Dr. W.G. Tamblyn, President of Lakehead University, and Mr. J. Murray Fleming, Chairman of the Board of Governors, made the following announcement on Friday afternoon, April 14, after q regular meeting of the Board: within the same institution. This situation provides an opportunity for technical people from industry to make up any deficiencies as far as Technology background is concerned before proceeding to the Post Diploma program . . The School of Engineering of Lakehead University will offer a two year Post Diploma Degree Program in Engineering beginning in September 1972. This program has been designed specifically for Engineering Technologists who wish to become Professional Engineers. Applicants to the program should have a Diploma in Technology or its equivalentand some industrial experience. The Post Diploma prpgram will lead to a Bachelor of Engineering degree in General Engineering rather than specialization in one of the traditional Engineering disciplines such as Chemical, Civil, Electrical, Mechanical, etc. A system of elective courses from the School of Engineering as well as other Departments and Schools within the University will provide students with ample opportunities to pursue their interests in a number of areas such as systems analysis and design, environmental control, instrumentation design, project design and management, structural design, etc. In the final year of the program each student will do a major Engineering Design Project based on an industrial problem. The School of Engineering will continue to offer three year Technology programs in Chemical, Civil, Electrical, and Mechanical Engineering. The School of Engineering at Lakehead University is unique in Canada in that Diploma and Degree programs in Engineering are offered �of Premier Davis, we have created some graduate undertakings which are increasingly being recognized in the world of international scholarship. Our graduate schools are not yet firmly established and are vulnerable to pressures which can rapidly destroy the developments of a decade. If this happens we shall be offering the people of this province less than adequate university opportunity. We do not believe that we are overestimating this danger and urge that the government position be modified. We will investigate all avenues to resist this unilateral increase. The Council also announced itssupportforastatement on the tuition fee increases issued the same day by the Ontario section of the Canadian Union of Graduate Students. At a conference with local media representatives following the COU meeting,, representatives of the graduate students expressed support for the COU statement. At a regular meeting of the Board of Governors oflakehead University on April 14, it was agreed that a decision on the fee increase would be postponed for the present, pending clarification of the Government's position in light of criticism of the increases from various areas. Governors Meeting A summary of decisions made by the Board of Governors at its April 14 meeting: Dr. Donald Eldon, Vice-President of the University was appointed authorized Signing Officer for the University in the absence of the President. Mr. Bernard Shaffer, former member of the Board, was appointed official Solicitor for Lakehead University. The Board also reached agreement on various dates: the Annual Meeting of the Board will take place on Monday, June 19; the official year-end was changed from June 30 to April 30, effective immediately; and Spring Convocation was set for May 27, 1972. Dr. Tamblyn announced that the new Minister of Colleges and Universities, the Honourable George Kerr, has graciously consented to be this year's guest speaker. With regard to facilities-, a decision on proposed extension to the University Residence was postponed for a year in light of current financial uncertainties. However, a badly-needed extension of the University Mall, and particularly the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, was approved by the Board. Global Resource Study A $2,500 grant has been made to the committee for northwestern Ontario for the International Biological Program. The northwestern Ontario project is part of a world-wide effort aimed at determining the living resources of the planet earth and deciding how best to use these resources. A number of typical plant and animal communities in our area will be described. Also, some unique communities such as Ouimet Canyon, sugar-maple groves, and oak stands will be investigated. All this information will eventually be sorted out by computers in London, England to help answer such questions as the ultimate human population the earth can support and how much natural environment still exists on this globe. The northwestern Ontario cqmmittee is made up of three members from the Ontario Department of Lands and Forests, Messrs. J. Flowers, F. Lyons and S. Walshe; one member from Hammarskjold High School, Mr. R. Wilson; and four members from 1 1Jkehead University: L. Vidlak and D. Richardson, Forestry Department, and C. Garton and P. Barclay (Chairman}, Biology Department. Exchange Fellowships Within the framework of the Agreement for Cooperation and Exchange in Educational and Cultural Matters, the Governments of Ontario and Quebec have initiated an exchange program for their students to pursue doctoral or post-doctoral studies at a university in the other province. Each government will allocate annually ten awards of $5,000 each. A candidate for a fellowship must be a resident of Ontario or Quebec and either have or be working toward a graduate degree. He must have high academic standing. A candidate must also produce proof of his acceptance into a full-time program in a university of the other province and must be enrolled there before receiving payment for the year for which the award is being granted. Residents of Ontario should obtain application forms from and return them to the Secretary of the Committee of Selection, Department of Coland Universities, Mowat Block, Queen's Toronto. �W88KI~ Wednesday April 19 Sunday April 23 Friday May 5 even~s Cambrian Players Production begins, U.C.T.

In the first paper, a method was prese_nted for the determination of the electron temperature of semiconductors in high electricfields. The second paper gave an explanation for the surprisingly strong reduction of Gunn effect threshold in Indium Antimonide. This explanation carries over also when a magnetic field is applied to materials of technological interest, e.g., Gallium Arsenide, where the Gunn effect may be used for the generation of microwaves. The papers were accepted with interest by the audience and the participants received the impression that an increasing number of their colleagues were becoming aware of the work being done at Lakehead University. Student Employment The Student Placement Office announces that Manpower Counsellor Dennis Bevilacqua has been appointed special employment consultant to foreign students, who are requested to report directly to him when seeking employment. Mr. Bevilacqua is located in the new summer location of Operation Student Placement on Oliver Road adjacent to the C.J. Sanders Fieldhouse. 'Campus Note Dr. Chris Jecchinis, Associate Professor of the Department of Economics was lecturer during the weekend of April 7/8 to the participants of the Labour Education Institute held atthe Thunder Bay Labour Centre. He chaired a special seminar on Trade Unions, held at Confederation College on April 12, and will give a talk on the "I.LO. and New Trends in Labour Management Relations" to the Personnel Association of Northwestern Ontario, which will meet at Lakehead University at 7:30 p.m. April 21, 1972. mee~ings Seminar Planned The Purchasing Management Association of Canada has invited Professor Walter Crowe, of the School of Business Administration to conduct a semina.r to be entitled 'MaterialsManagement' on behalf of purchasing managers. The seminar will be held in Thunder Bay towards the end of April and will be concerned with the integration of purchasing, production and inventory control, traffic, shipping and receiving, and stores into a materials management organization. Graduate Scholars Four students of Lakehead University have been awarded National Research Council of Canada scholarships for graduate study for the next academic year. H.J. Ferch and H.J. Pasko, who are completing the honours degree program in Mathematics, and M.B. Fraser, who is completing the honours degree program in Chemistry are recipients of the awards for the first year of graduate study. M.W. Benson has been awarded a scholarship for a second year of graduate study in Mathematics. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Both Mr. Dinsmore and Mr. Kerr were enthusiastic about the topic of that conference, which will focus upon Canadian energy resources. They offered many helpful suggestions, and also heard the students' viewpoints on ways and means of improving communications between Engineering students and members of the profession. Government Stance Mr. Kerr, Don Driscoll, Mr. Dinsmore, Dan Ropchon ,\ AT CONFEDERATION Al LAKEHEAD f Dr. George Fleming, Mr. Dinsmore, Mr. Kerr Editor's Note: At the request of Professor Ken Hearnden, Chairman of the School of Forestry, the following excerpts from questions and answers in a debate of theLegislativeAssemblyofOntario (March 30, 1972), are reproduced from Hansard for the benefit or the University Community. The questions (Q.) were directed by opposing members; the answers (A.} were delivered by the Honourable Mr. W. G. Davis, Prime Minister of Ontario. Q. How does the Premier now intend to rescue those post-secondary institutions, particularly certain of the universities, which are going to face a financial crisis the like of which they have not faced before? A. It is our view, Mr. Speaker, that the universities will notbefacedwithofinanciolcrisis. It is our view that the funds that will be allocated to the various post-secondary institutions will enable them to meet their commitments, enable them to maintain a high quality of educational programme in this province. Q. Will the Prime Minister, if he is so optimistic, make a commitment then that no university in Ontario will receive, in their university grants, less than they got last year; in fact less than they Visiting Thunder Boy at the invitation of the area got last year plus the percentage increase of the branch of the Association of Professional EnginSIU that is occurring this year? eers of Ontario, they toured facilities of ConfedA.

A. If the universities find that they have a surplus by way of faculty related to the student-professor ratio, this is something that they have to deal with. But the funding that is allocated from this government relates to the number of students. The universities are treated in an equitable fashion. If, for some reason, one of our post-secondary institutions is not having the kind of intake, by way of student numbers, this is something it will have to resolve internally. We cannot accept this kind of responsibility to pay for funds for those people on staff who are not producing in terms of student-professor ratios that ore equal across the province. Student Honoured Robert Hindman, having completed the first year in Science at Lakehead University with excellent academic achievement, accepts the Royal Canadian Engineers Memorial Scholarship from Dean of Students John W.

Personnel Meeting Mr. Dick Willson, in the absence of Mr. Cliff Roach, President of the Personnel Association of Northwestern Ontario, opened their meeting of April 21, 1972, by introducing Dr. D. Eldon, VicePresident of Lakeheod University. Dr. Eldon welcomed the members of the Association to the University. Dr. Arjun Aggarwal introduced their speaker for the evening, Dr. Chris Jecchinis, by briefly outlining his broad and varied background in the field of Labour Economics. Dr. Jecchinis' most interesting and informative talk on "New Trends in Labour - Management Relations" touched upon the major problems facing the western world in the seventies, such as: low productivity; high unemployment; inequalities in income distribution; and environmental and social problems. Hewent on to elucidate current and future trends in labourmanagement relations such as increased whitecollar unionization, compulsory arbitration, and ·oint consultation. A lively discussion period folowed. l Mr. G. Robinson, in thanking Dr. Jecchinis, expressed the view that all can benefitfrom the type of academic research being done at Lakehead University, as well as other universities.

G. Frood of the Department of Physics onnou nces that the Faculty of Science was pleased to host the visit of Dr. S. Madras, Director, Liberal Science Program, York University on Tuesday, April 18, 1972. Dr. Madras spoke at length to a representative group of Science and Arts Faculty about the objectives, curricula and teaching methods of the Liberal Science Program at York. He answered many questions from the floor and dispensed valuable advice on the best way to develop our own program in this area. A growing number of science undergraduates identify temperamentally and philosophically with the scientific method as a thinking style. They are searching for an understanding of a world which is dependent on science and technology, yet apparently, in a state of crisis because of its inability to resolve the problems caused by technological change. The intelligent, concerned and motivated science student has a potential advantage for making a contribution in the important science-society interface. Since this is an area that requires its own kind of expertise, it falls to the initiative of science educators to provide the necessary educational experience. My answer to this need is a certain number of courses devoted to the theme of the major problems of the day. These courses mightnumberonly one per year, but they should reflect the important themes as the student sees them in the newspapers or hears them discussed by his peers or by the mass media. These problems should be analyzed from the point of view of whatever disciplines are needed for their understanding. Where teamwork is possible, it should be used. However, ifs drawbacks should be mentioned. If several instructors are "in charge" of respective parts of a course, the old compartmentalizations soon reappear. There are some advantages to having one instructor, sympathetic to the needs of on integrated approach, accept the responsibility for working out the details of how best coordinate such a course. Proper staffing is where the difficulty, the challenge, and the opportunities are the greatest. Spanish Grads Go On Corio Hagstrom, B.A. (Hon.)

"Joint Participation" Urged Editor's Note: The Honourable George Kerr, Provincial Minister of Colleges and Universities addressed the Ontario Confederation of University Faculty Associations Conference at McMaster University on Saturday, May 6. Following are some excerpts from his talk, as published in the May 12 issue of McMaster University's contact: ''There are no believers in the Orwellian theory of government control of society in the present administration at Queen's Park. This whole question of the proper relationship between the government and the universities is one which is becoming of increasing interest to not only the academic community but to the ordinary citizen as well," he continued. "When you consider that $2 out of every $5 spent by the Government of Ontario now goes to the education of our young people, it should not be surprising that more and more people ore beginning to assess the association of universities with government, and through government, with society as a whole." Mr. Kerr said: "As society changes, for better or for worse, the universities, too, must adopt or become irrelevant. It remains to be seen whether in responding to these irresistible forces, the universities will be successful in improvingtheirown positions and in improving the society in which they find themselves. I cannot emphasize enough, however, the need for our universities to join the real world and serve, in the truest sense of the word, the authentic needs of our society. To achieve this goal it is obvious that on increasing degree of joint participation by government and the academic community will be required. I do �not mean by that participation that one of these two should dominate the other." Citing one example of such participation, he continued: "While at one time it was almost sacrilegious to hear talk of cost benefit analysis and other modern management methods in our universities, today these ore accepted topics for polite conversation behind those ivy-covered walls." Referring to the policies initiated by his predecessor, Mr. Kerr noted: "I think it is fair to say that Mr. Davis 'philosophy is as relevant today as it was three years ago and that it is because of his concern that we safe-guard the university's rights of self-determination that the Government of Ontario has pursued the policy of reform being initiated from within the university community. May I assure that as Minister of Colleges and Universities that I do not pion a.1y radical departure from this approach . It is obv ious that collective decisions must be made in the spirit of full co-operation. No group within our educational institutions - whether itbefoculty, students, governors or administrat'SlrS - can afford to ignore the needs of the others in these changing times. The whole development of the programs within our post-secondary institutions will depend to a large degree on the quality of leadership in all these groups wihin the institutions themselves." Tbe Minister concluded: 11 1 invite you to work with not only the other groups within the university, but with government and its advisers, to ensure that our educational system continues to be the major resource of our province and nati on." Chancellor Honoured The Honourable Bora Laskin, Justice of the Supreme Cou'rtof Canada and Chancellor of Lokeheod University, was presented with an Honorary Doctor of Laws degree onMay4, at a special Law Convocation in conjunction with the official opening of the University of Alberta's new Law Centre. Suggestions Sought All students in the School of Engineering at Lakehead University must complete an approved proLeet as a requirement for graduation in both the Degree and Diploma programs. Students are free to select a project topic of their own choice. Mission oriented topics dealing with practical problems in industry or ideas concerning new product or process development would be of interest to these students who would deal with the topic from on analytical, design, experimental or a feasibility evaluation viewpoint. Short titles for possible projects are all that is required initially since the student and faculty advisor interested in the topic would contact the originator of the idea or suggestion in person. Ideally, both School of Engineering faculty and engineers from industry would super·, ise the work. Any suggestions for undergraduate pro,·ecttopics that any company or organization wou d be prepared to offer would be appreciated by the School of Engineering. We look forwa rd to a reply at your convenience. Suggestions should beaddressedtothe Chairman Schoof of Engineering, Lakehead University, Thunder Bay, Ontario. Taste Of Robert Service On Monday evening, Moy 15, as part of its Spring activity, the Lakeheod University Department of Extension and Summer Session presented a dramatization of the life, times and poetry of Robert Service by actor Charles Hayter of Toronto. Mr. Hayter utilized Service's poems to create a fast - moving and humorous self - portrait of the poet from his early years in the Yukon until his retirement in Fronce. The performance was thoroughly enjoyed by a good audience in the University Centre Theatre. Dr. Laskin Dr. Laskin was thus recognized for his wide contributions to the legal profession as a teacher, as a judge, and os a writer. Charles Hayter Mace Unveiled The mo~e, originally a mediaeval weapon of offense in the form of a club, weighted heavily �at one end, and usually made of iron, steel, or brass, was designed to break through the heaviest armour. Bishops carried maces in battle, rather than swords, in order to conform to the canonical rule which forbade priests to shed blood. The earliest ceremonial maces were carried by royal body guards known as sergeants-at-arms in formal processions of the courts of Phillip 11 of Fronce, and probably Richard l of England. However, the practical purpose of discouraging attacks upon the king gradually gave way to the European love of ceremony, ana as early as the 14th century maces tended tobe more decorative and symbolic. The mace has thus come to represent the authority of the body or institution which possesses it. In Canada's Parliament, for example, a mace is carried into the House at the beginning of each session by the sergeant-at-arms. Similarly, at many Canadian universities, a mace is present at ceremonial functions to represent the ongoing authority, dignity and spirit of the university. of silver which leads into a shaft of stainless steel surrounded by folluted bronze. Upon a narrow insert of silver is inscribed the motto of the University. The shaft ends in a boss of nickel-silver with an insert of local amethyst crystal. Each section of the shaft is separated by a small silver ring. The mace will be used for the first time in the coming Convocation ceremonies, Saturday, May 27, 1972. Quebec Today Dr. Reginald Hamel, former director and pioneer of the "Centre de documentation des lettres Canodiennes" of the University of Montreal, and currently teaching full time in French Canadian studies atthesameuniversity, presented a public lecture at Lakehead University on the evening of Wednesday, Moy 17. Dr. Hamel is regarded as an expert on topics , French - Canadian. On this occasion he addressed himself to the subject "Quebec Today". Or. HM1el CEA Meetings The official mace of Lakehead University, a gift of the Alumni Association, was designed by Ken Campbell of the Board of Education and constructed by John Butler, Senior Technician in the University's Science Workshop. In keeping with the responsibilities of Lakehead University, the new mace is made entirely of materials from the region of Northwestern Ontario. The head consists of a golden cluster of jack pine cones on a smooth silver hemisphere. It is surrounded by two nickel-silver rings on either side of a bond of polished nickel inscribed with official insignia of Lokeheod University. The base of the heaa is comprised of four triangular specimens of ore mined in the region: silver, gold, nickel and copper. Below the ores is a handle At the sixth annual meeting of the Canadian Economic Association to be held at McGill University, Montreal, from June3 to 6 ,the Economics Department of Lakehead university will be well represented.

Kerr, Minister of Colleges and Universities will deliver this year's Conv9cation Address. Although he is new in the arenas of post-secondary education, Mr. Kerr has enjoyed a lengthy career gs a lawyer and politician. Born in Montreal in 1924, Mr. Kerr was educated in Montreal and New Brunswick schools before taking his Bachelor of Laws at Dalhousie Law School, Halifax in 1953. He was called to the Ontario Bar in 11955, and received Queen's Council recognition in 1967. In municipal affairs and politics, Mr. Kerr served on the Burlington Town Council between 1955 and 1963. He was also active in the Chamber of Commerce and Kinsmen Club of Burlington, Ontario. From 1960 to 1963, he served as treasurer of the Halton County Progressive Conservative Association. The Minister was first elected to the Ontario Legislature for Halton West in the general election of 1963. After serving and chairing numerous committees dealing with a wide range of topics (i.e. government commissions, municipal affairs, consumer credit, education, health, labour, conservation and water resources), Mr. Kerr was appointed Minister of the Department of Energy and Resources Management for the Province of Ontario in June, 1969. In February, 1972, Mr. Kerr was appointed Minister of the Ministry of Colleges and Universities. The Lakehead University community welcomes him to Convocation '72.

Graduate -Fees On April l O the Council of Ontario Universities issued a statement in which it stressed that the recent increase in the annual gradua.te student fee from $485 to $877.50 is unfairtostudents and will have a serious effect on the quality of the universities of this province. The Council therefore w_el_comes the announcement on May 5 by the Minister of Colleges and Universities that the universities will be permitted more freedom in the use of provincially derived funds to assist graduate students. A student will be permitted to earn up to $2,400 as a Teaching Assistant, provided of course, that such employment is available. The previous limit was $1,800. Also, universities will be permitted to use operating funds for the provision of bursaries to a maximum of $300 per studentto those graduate students who register for three consecutive terms, the first of which begins in September, 1972. While the Council welcomes the freedom to grant bursaries as a temporary palliative it does not regard it as providing a long-term solution. The Council believes that there are preferable alternatives. The Council is hopeful that the Minister will be willing to consider proposals for alternatives to the imposition of the third term fee. COU is studying the problem as a matter of highest priority. Senate Notes At the Senate meeting of Friday, March 19 the Registrar, Mr. John McDonnell, presented ~ list of potential graduands. Senate approved 696 for bachelors degrees in Art, Scier;ice, Education, Commerce and Nursing; as well as 182 for certificates and diplomas. Four Master of Arts degrees and five Master of Science degrees will also be conferred at Convocation May 27, 1972. Special registration note: In order to ensure that all courses selected will count as degree credits, all electives must be chosen in consultation with, and have the approval of, the major Department. �weeKllJ even~s Remarkable People mee~ings The following are excerpts from a convocation address of the President of Pennsylvania State University, Dr. Eric A. Walker: Pointing to the assembledguestsofthegraduates, Dr. Walker said: "I would like you to look and see some of the most remarkable people ever to walk the earth! "These, your parents and grandparents, are the people who, within just five decades - 1919 to 1969 - have, by their work, increased your life expectancy by approximately 50 per cent; who, while cutting the working day by a third, have more than doubled per capita output. "These are the people who have given you a healthier world than they found, and because of this you no longer have to fear the epidemics of flu, typhus, diphtheria, smallpox, scarlet fever, measles or mumps that they knew in their youth. The once dreaded polio is no longer a medical factor, while TB is almost unheard of. "Let me remind you thatthese remarkable people lived through history's greatest depression. Many of them know what it is to be poor, what it is to be hungry and cold. • "And because of this, they determined that it would not happen to you, that you would have a better life. You would have food to eat, milk to drink, vitamins to nourish you, a warm home, better schools and greater opportunities to succeed than they had. "Because they gave you the best you are the tallest, h_ealthiest, brightest and probably the bestlooking generation to inhabit the land. Pieces Assembled The Lakehead University mace, rather fragmented in the last issue, has pulled itself together and is waiting patiently in the Science Workshop for Convocation ceremonies to begin. Our annual apology goes out to Ron Bennett, Senior Technician of the Geology Department, for utterly ignoring his superb lapidary contribution to the mace. "And, because they are materialistic, you will work fewer hours, learn more, have more leisure time, travel to more distant places and have more of a chance to follow your life's ambition. "These are also the people who fought Man's grisliest war. They are the people who defeated the tyranny of Hitler, and who, when it was all over, had the compassion to spend billions of dollars to help their former enemies to rebuild their homelands. "These generations have made more progress by the sweat of their brows than in any previous era - and don't you forgetit!And, if your generation can make as much progress in as many areas as these two generations have, you should be able to solve a good many of the world's remaining ills. "But it won't be easy. And you won't do it by tearing down or belittling. You may, and can, do it by hard work, humility, hope, and faith in mankind. Try it!" r .,...1 "li. , ,,~"rr,~"' 1,.~I~ • .. , ..., , . :s-:..::·--\; t ;. . • ' � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The University, too, must be more aware than ever before of the problems of the society in which it exists. And it must be prepared to contribute in a constructive way to the resolution of those problems. This it can do through its mandate to keep under critical review the systems of values which our society has inherited. Here a degree of detachment is essential, and a degree of tension is inevitable. The University can also address community problems in a more direct fashion by sponsoring interdisiplianry research into current and anticipated difficulties. Above a 11, however, the role of the University remains that of the most appropriate vehicle whereby members of society can assimilate philosophical principles, realistic applications, and social and persona I va I ues. As the source of a broad prospect of impressions and experiences for its students, the University serves society by producing responsible and enlightened citizens." President Tamblyn Addresses Convocation '72 Editor's Note: Following are excerpts from the Convocation remarks of Dr. W. G. Tamblyn, President of Lakehead University. "From our first Convocation in 1965 to the present time, Lakehead University has awarded 2,500 degrees and diplomas at both the undergraduate and the graduate levels. Today, another 904 degrees and diplomas wi II be awarded. These 3,400 graduates are a somewhat less tangible measure of our development and growth as a university than the impressive buildings and large operating budgets. But these men and women are centra I to our purpose for being here at a 11. Perhaps, in addition to paying tribute to graduating students, a secondJry purpose for Convocation is to remind us all of why our University exists, and what its contributions to society really are." "The role of the University has changed dramatically in the last twenty-five years. It is no longer a sanctuary in the monastic sense, where students leave society for several years of study. The University must now, more than ever before, relate to a broad cross-section of society, and must, in fact, play an active social role. The University must serve, and foster interaction between those students wishing to lay the foundation for their professional or vocational careers, and those who seek to cultivate their understanding of themselves, of society and of nature. The University must also expand its service to those segments of society other than the traditiona I group of students. Men and women of a 11 ages must have av- "I believe that Convocation is a most appropriate opportunity to express to our Faculty, our Departmental Chairmen, and particularly our Deans, the appreciation of the entire University for their sincere efforts during this past year. The very fine work which has been done this year in the area of prograll' development is an indication of their total involvement in post-secondary education in Northwestern Ontilrio." "Particularly noteworthy this year is our recently an- Some of 904 Recipients of Degrees & Diplomas �nounced, and very unique, Engineering Degree Program. To the present time our School of Engineering has offered a three-year program leading to an Engineering Technology Diploma, as well as the first two years of the-four-year Degree Program. Our students were then required to transfer to other universities to complete their professional education. Commencing in September, 1972, students who have completed a Diploma Program - either at our University or at a College of Applied Arts and Technology - wi 11 be able to enter a specialized two-year program leading to a Bachelor of Engineering Degree. Thus our School of Engineering wi II now join with our already very successful School of Forestry in providing the residents of our region with the opportunity of pursuing applied professional training without being required to travel many hundreds of miles." "I would like to take this opportunity to pay a brief tribute to two of the leading members of this institution. The Honourable Mr. Justice Bora Laskin has not only served us wel I in his first year as our Chancellor, he has also brought us a further degree of recognition recently when he was honoured by thred major Canadian Universities - Alberta, Manitoba, and Western Ontario - with Honorary Doctor of Laws Degrees. We would like to congratulate you, Mr. Chancellor, for this singular achievement. The second man who is deserving of our recognition here today is the Chairman of our Board of Governors, Mr. John Murray Fleming. Mr. Fleming has been a member of the Board since 1962, served as a ViceChairman for two years, played a major role in our very successful Development Fund drive in 1967, and has ably and unselfishly served as our Board Chairman since 1969. The duties of the Chairman have been particularly heavy during the past two years, and have included service on the Commission on University Government, Membership on Search Committees for both a New President this year and a Vice-President last year, and numerous trips to the seat of the Provincial Government on the University's behalf, as well as his normal responsibilities as Chairman of the Board and its Executive Committee. It sometimes seemed this year that Mr. Fleming was attending more meetings on Campus than even I, myself. Mr. Fleming has now announced his resignation as Chairman of the Board of Governors, but will continue to sit on the Board as a member. On behalf of the University, I can only say that we have the greatest respect for you, and that we are grateful for your guidance and unselfish service to our University," Chancellor Speaks At the close of Convocation '72, Judge Bora Laskin, Chancellor of Lakehead University, paid special tribute to Dr. Wi 11 iam Gordon Tamblyn and John Murray Fleming. The Chancellor recogniz:ed both men for their unforgettable contributions to Lakehead University in its critical formative years. As of June 30, 1972 Dr. Tamblyn relinquishes the Presidency af the University and Mr. Fleming steps down as Chairman of the Board of Governors. Convocation Address Editor's Note: Following are excerpts from the Convocation Address delivered on May 27, 1972 by the Honourable George Kerr, QL., Minister of Colleges and Universities. "I recognize that nothing is permanent in these complex times, when young people in particular are questioning the relevance of our social institutions and when many seem unhappy in the midst of affluence. People talk about being bored, sick, frustrated, polluted or discarded. They are troubled by atomic stockpiles and by wars fought for no apparent reason other than that they once began." "Sometimes young people appear to me to be terribly old, because they expect so I ittle from I ife and make so few claims upon it. I suppose that there are the usual number in our society who expect to be clothed, fed, educated and amused without too much exertion on their part. That kind of passivity is scarcely what I mean when I speak of the need to make claims upon I ife. I mean the joyous anticipation that if you plunge into life's dark waters and battle its strcng currents, you will come up with priceless treasures." "Consider the problem of knowledge with which you have been occupied during your years at Lakehead. The pride of the modern world is often the knowledge which we have built up, and mankind has never experienced such a vast access to new information as in recent years. We have the pi 11, the bomb, computers and all our technology. Yet when we look at the world, we realize that wisdom and knowledge are not identical.•• "Wisdom is much deeper than knowledge alone. Wisdom involves spiritual insights, integrity of character, a love of things worthy of being loved, a scale of va I ues that puts first things first -- a 11 of these woven by a philosophy of life into a purpose of living." "We al I have to face up to the fact that what stands arhwart man's chances for a better life is not the ponderous, impersonal establishment, which admittedly has plenty of sins to repent for, but man him- �,, self, Our trouble is that we have a tendency to slink away when the challenge of practical application faces us. My advice to you is -- get the facts and forget the rhetoric. Get involved, become active practitioners in life, and you'll find that this is indeed a great time to be alive. As you go out into the world to follow your individual careers, I hope that your colleges and your studies have somehow instilled in you something of a spirit and sense of responsibility in the rea Im of broader service." "In my talks with University students across the province I sense a feeling of apprehension about where the Government is heading in the field of education . We a 11 know that the fifties and the sixties were periods of tremendous growth and expansion. This period saw the establishment of many new universities, including Lakehead, as Ontario met the cha I lenge of providing faci I ities for thousands of young people who saw a degree as an automatic passport to the good I ife. Now we tend to be a bit more critica I and concerned about the qua I ity of the post-secondary education that is being provided. I think that is a good thing. A good thing for not only the taxpayers of the province but for the Administrators, the Faculty and the students themselves. Let me assure you that we are not becoming anti-education at Queen's Park. We are not reacting blindly to the backlash from those who say that University students are pampered and are taking too big a share of the public purse. We are sti 11 very much on your side. Al I we are saying is that we think it is important to make sure that the quality and the relevance of a University education is maintained. We are in fact paying more attention to the University community in the seventies . We are establishing a meaningful dialogue about objectives, not just being the Banker with no thought for tomorrow."

The Association of Universities and Colleges of Canada (AUCC) will be able to answer this question following a six-month study which it has recently launched. The study has been asked to report on the present programs of Canadian universities in education, research and public services in the North, on the needs of northern peoples that are not now being met and on desirable extensions of these programs in the future. In this context the North is defined as including the Northwest Territories, the Yukon Territory and the northern regions of British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Ontario, Quebec and Newfoundland . The study is under the direction of W. 0 .

Ryan 1918-1972 On Monday, June 12, 1972, the University community was saddened to learn of the death of Timothy Joseph Ryan, Dean of Arts at the university since 1968. Born in Limerick, Ireland, in 1918, Professor Ryan received his B.A. and B.Com. degrees from the National University of Ireland at Dublin, and his M.A. in Economics and Education from Harvard. After several years as Director of In-Service Education for a major Irish commercial enterprise Professor Ryan emigrated to Canada, where he joined the teaching staff of Ryerson Polytechnic Institute in Toronto. After three years as a representative for the Saskatchewan Departm_e nt of Education, Professor Ryan lectured in economics at the Universities of London and Wales. In 1962 he was appointed Head of the Division of Management Studies at the University of Manitoba, where he also served as Director of the Evening Institute Division from 1963 to 1965. In 1968 Professor Ryan was named Dean of Arts and Professor of Economics at Lakehead University. In his four years at Lakehead he was particularly active in the areas of program development and interdisciplinary studies. He also served as Vice-Chairman of the Board of Governors of Confederation College of Applied Arts and Technology, and was an active supporter of cultural activities in Thunder Bay, including the Lakehead Symphony Orchestra. He was a Fellow of both the Royal Economic Society and the Chartered Institute of Secretaries, and was a member of the Canadian Industrial Management Association, the Canadian Association for Adult Education, and the British Institute of Management. Professor Ryan was pre-deceased by his wife, the late Jean Richards. He is survived by a brother, Denis Ryan of Limerick, Ireland, and close friends Iris and Carl Torfason and Mrs. Benjaminson. Prayer services were held at Sargent & Son Funeral At the Annual Meeting of the Board of Governers, held in the Senate Chamber on June 19, it was decided that the new Academic Building to be completed in the fall be named the Timothy J. Ryan Memorial Academic Building in recognition of Professor Ryan's contribution to the University during his years as Dean of Arts. ANNUAL REPORT Editor's Note: Following are excerpts from the President's Annual Report to the Board of Governors, June 19, 1972. The academic year 1971-72 at Lakehead University has been a difficult one in many ways, due primarily toa lower-than-anticipated enrolment, the consequent reduction in operating revenue, and the resulting necessity to introduce immediate budgetary limitations and to plan for longer-term reductions of expenditures. The delicate balances essential in an academic community received a jolt during the first half of the year just completed, but were, I believe, able to return to a state of relative equilibrium during the latter half ... While full-time enrolment remained static this year, the number of part-time students increased substant ia 11 y, from 2,650 students in 1970-71 to wel I over 3,000 students in the current year. This increase occurred primarily in our spring and summer terms, which have continued to prove more popular from year to year.Although we offered slightlymore credit courses off-campus this year (25 course sections compared with 22 last year), total off-campus enrolment showed a small decline. However, we expect to be able to increase our extension service to the smaller communities of Northwestern Ontario asl a result of a recent agreement with the Ministry of Colleges and Universities, whereby extra funding will be available for this work. The enrolment situation notwithstanding, the University this Spring conferred degrees and diplomas on the largest graduating class in its history. Since 1965 some 3,400 degrees and diplomas have been awarded. These 3,400 graduates are a --somewhat less tangible measure of our development and growth as a ���Report on Applications This report, based on surveys conducted by OUCA, compares first-year applications to Ontario universities in 1972 with applications received in the pre- vious year at the same time. No further surveys will be undertaken as the universities wi 11 be reporting on a regular basis to the OUCA throughout the remainder of the admission period. The following table presents the results of the mid-May survey. APPLICATIONS TO FIRST YEAR FULL-TIME PROGRAMS IN ONTARIO UNIVERSITIES (On or about May 15) 1972 1971 Gr. 13 Appls. Other 1st. yr.

Total applications in mid-May are down by 5.8% which is close to the difference reported in mid-March and mid-April. There is sti II a wide variation in the differences reported by the universities. Guelph, Laurentian, and - Ottawa show a slight increase in applications, while Brock and Trent are sti 11 down by over 20% from la st year. Shifts in program preferences have continued. Applications for combined Arts and Science have declined by 16 .6%, for Arts by 13 .4%, and for Engineering by 12.4%. Applications for Science have increased by 12.7% and for other programs by 8.2%. �Annual Report (Cont'd) university than the impressive buildings and the large operating expenditures, but these men and women are the justification for our existence. In our concern for balanced budgets we must never lose sight of our real purposes and goals ... The. year 1971 -72 saw a great dea I of va I uabl e work being done in the area of Academic Planning and Development. Particularly noteworthy is our recently announced, and very unique Engineering Degree Program ... Commencing in September, 1972, students who have completed a Diploma Program - either at our University or at a College of Applied Arts and Technology- will beable to enter a specialized TwoYear Program leading to a Bachelor of Engineering Degree. Thus our School of Engineering will now join with our already very successful School of Forestry in providing the residents of our region with the opportunity of pursuing Applied Professional Training without being requiredto leave Northwestern Ontario. Other developments this year have included the publication of a major, and controversial, report by the Senate Academic Planning Committee on the Academic Aims and Objectives of the University and the Allocation of Academic Resources to Meet Those Objectives. This report wi II be the subject of considerable debate during the coming year. Also this year, several of our departments have participated in province-wide studies of Graduate Programs, which are being conducted jointly by the universities of Ontario. Hopefully one of the results of these studies wi II be the expansion of Graduate programs at Lakehead University to at least the Master's Degree level in most disciplines ... The questions of proper organizational structures and governing mechanisms have been prominent at Lakehead for the past two years. Internally, our Commission on University Governmental Organization is just now completing its fi na I report for presentation to the President ... Its recommendations will be both far-ranging and challenging, and will attempt to improve both the effectiveness and the efficiency of our structures. We can expect, however, a lengthy period of debate and argument before any or all of these recommendations can be implemented, but I believe them to be sound suggestions worthy of your closest consideration. Externally, the Wright Commission on Post-Secondary Education in Ontario has produced its final Northwestern Ontario Report, recommending that there be just one Board of Governors to serve both the University and Confederation College. It is my opinion, and the opinion of many of the two Institutions, that the Report's recommendations are not only unworkable but will actually reduce the quality of educational services provided to the people of this region ... In summation, Mr. Chairman, I would direct the Board's attention to the purposes for which this University was established, to the major strides it has taken in the last seven years to fulfill its educational and social obligations, and to the great distances left to travel. I would urge the Board to remain mindful of the rapidly changing environment, both political and financial, surrounding this Uni .. versity ... Before closing, Mr. Chairman, I would like to take this opportunity to make two personal comments. Firstly, I am sure that you will all join me in expressing our sadness and sense of loss on the death of Tim Ryan, our Dean of Arts for the past four years. Professor Ryan was a warm and cheerful man whose very considerable contributiom; toward the development of this University were achieved with charm and sincerity. Those who worked closely with Tim Ryanwill deeply miss him, and will never forget him. I believe it is appropriate, Mr. Chairman, for my final remarks this afternoon to be an expression of my sincere appreciation to the members of the Board of Governors, and in particular to yourself and members of the Executive Committee, for the unfailing direction and support which were extended to me during the past seven years. BOARD NOTES At the Annual Meeting of the Board of Governors, June 19, 1972, Robert J. Prettie was appointed Chairman upon the retirement of J.

Students, faculty and staff of the University are cautioned to drive with extreme care on campus during the summer period because detours will be the order of the day. Following is a numbered I ist of the various projects, some of which are already underway. The numbers are reproduced on the accompanying map of the campus in order to give you some idea of the main areas of activity. 1. The road from the Oliver Road entrance, around the plex will be revamped during and after construction of the new olympic-size swimming pool. The parking lot will be shifted, but its present capacity will be retained; a new exit road wil I be introduced between the swimming pool and Oliver road, thus completing loop service around the Athletic Complex; the roads wil I be paved; the area wi II be landscaped, with new walkways introduced. 3. New construction around the Facultyof Education Building will include a new walkway connecting the campus to Oliver Road on the habitual path of pedestrians, and also a section of pavement connecting the front and rear parking lots. Considerable landscaping wi II also take place around the Faculty of Education Building. 4. The natural walk between the dam and the floodgates on the island in the centre of the campus wi II be paved. Academic Building and past the Library to Parking Lot #1, is currently undergoing preparation to be curbed and paved. Parking Lot #1 wi 11 also be reconstructed with steel posts replacing the present wooden ones. The area around the Academic Building is scheduled to be landscaped before September. 5. The roadway on the Oliver Road side of the Power Plant has been removed to make way for cooling towers which have already been installed. Landscaping is currently underway in this area. 2. The area around the C. J. Sanders Athletic Com- 6. Exterior lighting will be installed over the entire Campus site during the summer months. �A C A D E M C B LJ L D NG �ACADEMIC BUILDING The Department of Physical Planning and Construction announces that the new Academic Building adjacent to the Library wi II be fully furnished and ready for occupancy well in advance of the opening of classes for the regular session beginning in September, 1972. A glance at the accompanying floor plan reveals at least six different types and sizes of classroom. Rooms similar in construction to 1021 and 2025 are 40-station lecture rooms with tablet-arm seating; those similar to 2024 are 60-station lecture rooms with tablet-arm seating, Rooms 1022 and 1044 are carpeted, horse-shoe-shaped, tiered case study rooms.Rooms similar to 1020 are 12station seminar rooms with carpeted floors and table-and-chair seating; those similar to 2023 are 16-station seminar rooms. Room 2047 is an BO-station examination room with desk-and-chair seating to make it a flexible testing area. The smaller rooms are faculty offices, numbering 82 in all. Also, centrally located in each of the three administrative areas are two double-occupancy secretarial offices, Finally, the largest area on the first floor, designated number 1042, is a lecture theatre-auditorium which boasts 356 auditorium-style upholstered seats with articulating tablet-arms for note-taking, l.002.. Pl...o..N Swimming Pool Nearing Completion ATHLETIC COMPLEX Construction on Phase 11 of the Athletic complex is under a full head of steam, Except for a few finishing touches, this entire phase should be completed for the beginning of the fall session in September, Separate segments of this construction include three new lecture rooms, three squash courts, a combatives room specifically designed and equipped for the University"s expanding wrestling program, and an auxi II iary gymnasium for creative dance, gymnastics, etc, The major project is the olympic-size swimming pool. It will measure 50 metres in length, and will be six lanes wide; it will be 12 feet deep at one end, and 3 feet 6 inches at the other; it will have portable bulkheads to divide the pool into separate instruction areas, The pool will include two 3 metre diving boards and two 1 metre diving boards, And seating capacity will be approximately 500. �W88KI~ even~s mee~ings CAPITAL PROJECTS Language Awards (Cont'd) Editor's Note: Following are further excerpts from President Tamblyn' s Annual Report to the Board of Governors: Over the years, the Uni'versity has attempted to keep pace with developments in academic programs, enrolment, and research activities, by providing additional physical facilities as required, Although the Board is familiar with the details of the University's present Capital Program, I would like to briefly summarize the major components of that program at this time. Construction is approaching completion of the 40,000 square foot Academic building, with an estimated total cost of $2.5 million, and on Phase 11 of the extension to the Athletic complex, with an approved budget of $1.8 mil lion. This new Academic bui Iding should provide sufficient teaching and office space to serve the University's requirements for the next few years, while the extension to our Athletic faci I ities, including the addition of an olympic-s ize swimming pool, will accommodate the needs of our own Physical and Health Education and Athletic programs, and also provide ample opportunity for use by Confederation College and members of the general community. The remaining projects being funded by the Provincial Government include Site services, Uti I ities extension, Power House equipment, and some alterations to existing structures, The original budgets for these projects totalled $3.9 million, of which $1.5 million remains to complete them, speaking students, who cannot pursue university studies in French in Ontario, to study in their own language in Quebec. The amount of the bursary will not exceed the equivalent of two economy round trips annually from the student's place of residence to the university chosen. There are also five minor projects which are being funded out of the University's own funds. These include minor alterations of the Faculty of !:ducation and the Main Buildings, renovations and equipment purchase for the newly-expanded Forestry and Engineering Programs, Utility Metering and the purchase of a Residence for the University President. The total cost for these five projects are estimated to be $230,000. Second Language Awards The student awards Branch ofthe Ministry of Colleges and Universities has announced the introduction of a new Fellowship for Second Language Study., and a travel bursary for French-speaking students. These awards are funded by the Federal Government and administered provincially. The aim of the fellowship is to provide students with an opportunity for immersion in the milieu of their second language in any discipline. It is open to Ontario residents who are undergraduate or graduate students registered in Canadian universities. Approximately 100 fellowships will be awarded, to maximum amount of $2,000. The purpose of the travel bursary is to help French- Deadline date for the fellowship is October 31, 1972, and for the trave I bursary is December 31 , 1972.

FAMILY LIFE PROGRAM The Family Life Program is a two-credit course designed to provide the student with a thorough knowledge of human sexuality and family living. Each year leading authorities in anthropology, sociology, philosophy, psychology, theology, physiology and chi Id development are invited toLakehead University as guest lecturers. Each day starts with a two hour presentation by the visiting lecturer, and this is followed by a discussion group period. Each group consists of 12 students and a trained group leader. It is during this period that students have the opportunity to consider and discuss the contents of the morning lecture. The afternoon is occupied with the evaluation of audio-visual material, and a second group meeting. Lakehead University's thirteenth Summer term began on July 3 and will run through the week of August 15. A tota I of 1,600 students are enrol led in more than 50 courses on campus, throughout 6 communities in Northwestern Ontario, and also overseas in Spain and England. Special summer features, in addition to the Family Life Program described in this edition, include music instruction in conjunction with Humanistic Studies, language immersion programs in French and English, final summer training for secondary school teachers, and a theatre workshop. Free Films and Music As a service to students in the Summer term, the Department of Extension and Summer Session is providing the best in local concert musician-ship and recent National Film Board productions free of charge. Summer concerts scheduled for the remainder of the term wi 11 take place in the Facµlty of Education Auditorium on Wednesday, July 19 and Wednesday, July 26 at 8:00 p.m. Featured from time to time in such concerts are the musicians-in-residence of Lakehead University: Douglas Dahlgren, piano; Michael Ed-. wards, clarinet and oboe, Sidney Mann, viol in and viola; Joseph Shufro, cello; and Kenneth Dearlove, brass. Although the course is designed primarily to train and prepare persons for the teaching of Family Life in the school, it is apparent that the course has considerable appeal to non-teachers. The course content deals with such contemporary issues as the future of the family, women's liberation, and sex and the law, as wel I as a review of current knowledge in such areas as human reproduction, commUnication in the family and contemporary theological views. Under the directorship of Kieth Wood of the Department of Psycho logy, a tota I of fourteen guest lecturers wi II present up-to-date research and viewpoints on family living, throughout the summer. The first speaker has just completed his skein of three lectures through the first week of classes in the program. Dr. Warren Schumacher of the Department of Human Development at the University of Massachusetts has turned his attention towards the topics of "Human sexuality: the language of interpersonal relations", "Maleness and femaleness: sexua I identification and roles", and "Clarification of personal values: risk and creativity". Through these topics, Dr. Schumacher has stimulated thought and discussion of the deep implications of sexuality in all aspects of human personality and interpersonal relations. He has also explored the extent to which such questions should be raised in the classroom. �I , .j~ . ,, '. /' . . >... REMINDER Shakespeare Production ! For those who may have missed earlier announcements, "Happy Hours" have returned. Faculty and staff of Lakehead University are invited to share I ibations in the Faculty Lounge from 4:00 p.m. on Friday afternoons throughout the summer. A Minneapolis-based touring company of actors, usually specializing in outdoor performances of Shakespearean plays, will perform indoors on three occasions at Lakehead University on July 12 and 13. COU RECOMMENDATION The following is an excerpt from a letter to the Chairman of CUA, setting forward the COU recommendations on graduate student fees: It was concluded that $600 for a twelve-month year is a reasonable fee for graduate students to pay. This figure would be among the highest graduate fees in Canada, but not so far above the other provinces as to encourage widesp!Bad migration of the best Ontario students. The concept of an annual fee is considered important, because of the great merits in year-round study and year-round use of the most expensive university facilities, If the fee were established on an annual basis, there would be no need for uniformity among the universities in the actual application of fees by terms. Shakespeare-in-the-Streets, as the company is called, will arrive on the evening of Wednesday, July 12, and wi 11 perform Tw~lfth Night at 8:00 p.m. that evening. On Thursday, July 13, they will perform Much Ado About Nothing at 2:00 p.m. and The Two Gentlemen of Verona at 8:00 p.m. All performances will take place in the Lakehead University Centre Theatre. Tickets for each performance are $2.00, and are available through the University Bookstore, or may be purchased at the theatre entrance. Our specific recommendations to CUA and the government are as follows: (1) that all full-time graduate students ( except for post-residency· students) be charged a fee of $600 a year collectible once, twice or three times during the year at the discretion of the university and that this amount be used by the government in calculating formula entitlements; (2) that transition to the above formula fee be accomplished according to the following schedule: * (below) (3) that an adjusted value of the 8.1.U. for 1973-74 is preferable to an increase in fees beyond $600 or any other compensating mechanisms such as bursaries; (4) that if the 8.1.U. value for 1973-74 is reduced, appropriate arrangements be made to protect the income of the universities likely to suffer • enrolment shortfalls or to have limitt;!d numbers of graduate students. *Fall 1972 Winter 1972 Spring 1973 $292.50 Scene From Much Ado About Nothing Fall 1973 Winter 1973 Total $600 $292.50 $ 15.00 $292.50 $200.00 $107.50 $200.00 $200.00 $600 $200.00 $600 �Association Of Commonwealth Universities The ACU promotes contact and co-operation between Commonwealth universities. To that end, the Association, which has a full-time staff of 55 at its London headquarters, works in a number of practical ways to serve the Commonwealth university community by: • organizing in different parts of the world conferences of Commonwealth university people • promoting the movement of staff between Commonwea Ith universities by helping member universities to fi 11 vacant academic posts • assisting the movement of students from one country to another by administering a number of scholarship schemes, including the British end of the 1,00-award Commonwealth Scholarship and Fellowship Plan • providing factual information about universities on a Commonwealth-wide basis, through publications (especially the Commonwealth Universities Yearbook) and a personal information service. Founded in 1913 and later incorporated by royal charter, the Association has 186 member universities in 26 Commonwealth countries (52 members in Europe, 45 in Asia, 46 in the Americas, 24 in Australasia and the Pacific, and 19 in Africa). 69 of its member institutions are in developing countries. It is the oldest international inter-university association in the world and is governed by a Counc i I of executive heads representing member universities in the different Commonwealth countries. The Secretary-General is Sir Hugh W. Springer and the office of the Association is at 36 Gordon Square, London, England WC1 HOPF. Much of the work of the Association involves contact with, or providing services for, the executive heads, administrative officers and academic staff of member universities, but a significant part of the day-to-day work of the office takes the form of the provision of services for university students. These services centre round the provision of information, usually about courses, admission requirements or scholarships, and the administration of scholarship schemes. Factual information about Commonwealth universities is provided for students in the following ways: • through A.C.U. publications of which the best known is the annual Commonwealth Universities Yearbook. The Yearbook is meant to serve all sections of the Commonwealth university community but the A.C.U. also produced some pub1ications intended largely or entirely for students. • 'Higher Education in the Uniled Kingdom', a handbook issued every two years and specially designed to answer the .kind of questions that students in other countries ask about study at the higher education level in the United Kingdom. • A new A.C.U. publication, scheduled to appear I ate in 1972, wi 11 describe awards for postgraduate study tenable at universities throughout the Commonwealth and open to students from other Commonwealth countries; it wi 11 be cal led 'Scholarships Guide for Commonwea Ith Postgraduate Students' and will be published in revised editions every two years. • through a free Personal lnf,ormation Service for any student who, w1 shes to telephone, write to, or (if in London) cafl at the A.C.U. office at 36 Gordon Sq\Jarefor a talk with one of the information officers (who also edit the Association's publications). To answer some of the most frequently-asked questions in greater detai I than would be possible by letter or in conversation, a number of short A.C.U. Student Information Papers have been prepared and are available on request and without charge. The A.C.U. Bulletin of Current Documentation is published by the Association of Commonwealth Universities, 36 Gordon Square, London, England WC1 H OPF. Its main purpose is to provide the member universities of the Association, and particularly those in them who are concerned with the more genera I aspects of pol icy-making, with factua I information about some of the more important books, reports, and other documents that have recently been issued on matters affecting universities and are of more than local interest. The emphasis is on publications issued ,in• Commonwealth countries but some international and foreign documentation is also described. The 1972 Commonwealth Universities Yearbook is the forty-ninth edition of this standard guide to university institutions in the Commonwealth. In its 2,100 pages it provides the essential facts about 240 universities, including for each a complete list of teaching staff and general information about its courses, faci I ities, activities and organization. �for library Use Oily W88KI~ even~s Tuesday July 11 -Summer Session Movie "Spy Who Came In From The Cold", U.
