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

Ayre, Secretary and Registrar of Lakehead University received information regarding an award given to a most notable graduate of Lakehead University. Dr. Dominic Lam, a Research Fellow at the Harvard Medical School, was awarded a Canadian Medical Association Centennial Fellowship in the amountof$11,000. Dr. Lam entered Lakehead University as a first year Science student in September 1964, completing his Honors B.Sc. in May of 1967. He continued his studies at the University of British Columbia where he fulfilled the requirements for the Masters in Science degree in the spring of 1968. He completed his Ph.D. degree in Physical Biology at the University of Toronto in the spring of 1970, and in the same year commenced post-graduate work at the Harvard Medical School. Dr. Lam has indicated that his brother Joseph hopes to commence his degree program at Lakehead University in the coming academic year. Centre To Be Extended Following the successful Parent-Child Pre-School Centre at the Windemere Nursing School in St. Michaels and All Angels Church, it was decided to have a "mini-centre" for six additional weeks, starting Tuesday, April 13, 1971. The fee will be ten dollars and again parents will have an opportunity to discuss child development while children play in a nursery school setting . For further information call Mrs. Patti Ahearn, 767-1817. The Centre is co-sponsored by Lake head University and Confederation College Extension Departments. -- � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

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

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

L£ ~ /l!Kt..l!J ~weeK a publication of the Lakehead University information office C.P.U.O. Becomes C.O.U. At its regular monthly meeting on April 16, 1971, the Committee of Presidents of Universities of Ontario approved a constitutional amendment to change the name of the organization to Council of Ontario Universities/Conseil des Universities de !'Ontario, effective May 1, 1971. A recommendation to re-name the universities' collective organization had been made to CPUO at an earlier meeting by a special subcommittee set up to study development of the Ontario university system. The current name has for some time been a misnomer, reflecting the origins of the body when only university presidents were members, but it has not been consistent with the organization's current pattern of membership and range of activities. Beginning in September 1967 presidents were accompanied at meetings of CPUO by non-voting colleagues. In March 1970, by constitutional amendment, each provincially assisted university became entitled to two full members - the president and a colleague selected by the senior academic governing body of the university. The Council of Ontario Universities/Conseil des Universites de !'Ontario retains the original objects of the Committee of Presidents, which are "to promote cooperation among the provincially assisted universities of Ontario, and between them and the Government of the Province, and, generally, to work for the improvement of higher education for the people of Ontario." No changes in organization accompany the change in name. The current organization is described in the Fourth Annual Review of CPUO, Variations on a Theme, published in the Fall of 1970. Beginning May 1, 1971, the offices of the Council of Ontario Universities/Conseil des Universities do !'Ontario will be at 102 Bloor Street West, Toronto 181. Dialogue '71 at LU May 10th, 11th and 12th will see over 200 delegates from all over the Province of Ontario register for Dialogue '71, to be held at Lakehead University. Individuals from secondary schools, universities, government and other concerned bodies will take this time to discuss problems and ideas related to the presentation of educational goals to students. Sessions on 'communication', the relevance of information programs, the meaning of secondary and post secondary education in relation Volume 3 Dt.C Number 29 May 7 {,,t971 :: .. to goals, retraining, the graduate and the labour force, admissions procedures and financial assistance will offer a high degree of involvement to all those in attendance. Special guests for the sessions will include Dr. Donald Ivey, Principal of New College, University of Toronto; Mr. D. T. Dingwall, Regional Co-ordinator of the Ontario Manpower Retraining program; Mr. Gower Markle, Director of Education and Welfare for the United Steelworkers of America and Mr. B. G. Wells, National Personnel Director of Thorne, Gunn, Helliwell and Christenson. During the conference, a special banquet will give visitors the opportunity to sample delicacies with a special Northern atmosphere. LU to Offer 'Immersion' Courses Mr. A. A. Benning, Executive Assistant to the Minister of University Affairs confirmed with Dean T. Ryan that Lakehead University is to be one of the participants in the Summer Language Training Program. This program is operated with federal funds and administered by a provincial officer appointed by the Council of Ministers of Education of Canada. Beginning July 4th until August 18th French 1b6 and English 1p6 (English as a Second Language) will be offered in an 'immersion' program which involves attendance to regular 'lecture' type classes, laboratory sessions, conversation sessions, round-table discussions and social functions. Monitors, some of whom will be living in residence with the students will offer supervision and ensure that each student spends a maximum time using the language which he or she is learning.

(basically Ontario grade 13 or Quebec grade 12 or equivalent) �Senate Action On Saturday, May 1st, the Senate of Lake head University discussed once again the case of Mr. V. G. Wightman, Assistant Professor of Sociology. Mr. Wightman, who was employed at the University on a probationary basis. (as are all new faculty members), was informed in June 1970, that his contract would not be renewed after June 30, 1971. On March 16th, without any formal request for a review of the matter having been made, a small group of individuals (including both students and non-students) began a sit-in in the corridor outside the President's Office. On the second day of the sit-in, the Executive Committee of the Alma Mater Society (the elected student government) withdrew its support of the sit-in on the grounds that the Administration was following the procedures and was not impeding Mr. Wightman in his attempt to appeal to the Canadian Association of University Teachers. The demonstrators, calling themselves the "Students for Arbitration Committee", ignored the decision of the student government and continued their sit-in for approximately three-and-one-half weeks. In the meantime, considerable effort by several bodies and individuals was made to reach a mutually-satisfactory arrangement to review the academic reasons for the non-renewal of Mr. Wightman's probationary contract. Finally, on April 3rd, after lengthy consultation with the Faculty Association, the C.A.U.T., the Board of Governors, the Executive Committee of Senate, the faculty Mr. Wightman (and to three other faculty members whose probationary contracts were also not renewed) of an Ad Hoc Committee to review the academic reasons for the nonrenewal of his contract and to report its findings to Senate. The Ad Hoc Committee was to be composed of three faculty members of the University acceptable to both the President and the appellant. The appellants were given ten days to decide whether they did or did not wish to avail themselves of such a procedure. Two of these four faculty members indicated that they had no wish to pursue their cases any further. A third accepted the Senate's offer. Mr. Wightman, however, would accept the offer only "in principle" but rejected the terms of reference as established by Senate. In conversation with the President, he confirmed that he would not accept the offer with the existing terms of reference. Then on April 16th, three days after the deadline set by Senate, Mr. Wightman informed the President that he would accept the offer but would ask Senate to change the terms of reference at its next meeting (i.e. May 1). In the interim, Mr. Wightman and a representative of the President were able to reach agreement on three individuals to be members of the Ad Hoc Committee. The procedure followed in the selection of the names ensured that they would remain confidential until after Senate had the opportunity to discuss Mr. Wightman's request to alter the previously approved terms of reference. At its meeting on Saturday, May 1st, Senate voted to allow Mr. Wightman's late acceptance of the offer, and further agreed that Mr. Wightman could address the meeting in support of his requested alterations to the Committee's terms of reference. Mr. Wightman spoke and answered questions posed by the Senators for approximately twenty-five minutes. The Senate then debated the question of altering the existing terms of reference of the Ad Hoc Committee. The terms of reference were not changed. A motion was then passed which stated "that Senate will not tolerate any pressure or interference with the considerations of such Ad Hoc Committees, and if any is applied, then the activities of the said Ad Hoc Committees will be immediately terminated". A student senator then inquired whether the two faculty members whose cases were to be reviewed by the Ad Hoc Committees could appeal the decisions of these Committees to the permanent appeals board which is under discussion at the present time. The Chairman of Senate stated that it was his understanding that such an appeals board would only review future cases and that the present cases would be reviewed by the Ad Hoc Committees. The Senate concurred with the Chairman's interpretation of the situation. After the Senate meeting, the President, Mr. Wightman, and the President of the Faculty Association met and the names of the members of both Ad Hoc Committees were made known. Unfortunately, one of the agreed-upon members of Mr. Wightman's Committee will not be able to serve due to a necessary absence from the campus for the next two months. The procedure previously adopted for naming members was then re-activated and a third name should be forthcoming presently. Prior to, during, and after the Senate meeting, a small group of demons!rators (including both stu- �1, dents and non-students) picketed outside the Senate Chambers and accosted Senators entering and leaving the room. Approximately two hours after the Senate meeting this group of demonstrators, including Mr. Wightman, began to demonstrate in front of the home of the President of the University. Ignoring warnings that they were liable to prosecution for trespassing on private property, the demonstrators continued to block the front entrance to Dr. Tamblyn's home. Finally, the police were required to take action, with the result that ten of the group were refused to leave the property were arrested. Of these ten, five were not students at the University. The remaining demonstrators then dispersed. At a meeting on Monday, May 3rd, the Senate Executive Committee passed the following motion: "The Senate Executive Committee deplores the actions of the demonstrators in front of the Chairman of Senate's residence following the meeting of Senate on Saturday, May 1st, 1971." In the meantime, the University is continuing its efforts to find a third member for the Ad Hoc Com~ittee so that Mr. Wightman's case might be reviewed by three of his academic colleagues.

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

Tamblyn announced recently the resignations of two senior administrative officers of the University, Mr. W. D. Bohm and Mr. G. R. Lawrance. Mr. Bohm came to Lakehead University in August 1968 as the Director of Admissions and Records, and has been responsible since that time for the various aspects of admissions, registration, and implementation of a new computerized records system which will allow the University to meet the many requirements for data and analyses for both internal and external functions. Prior to coming to Lakehead University, Mr. Bohm was Assist- ant Director of Admissions at the University of Toronto and had had several years of experience with the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. Mr. Bohm will leave the University at the end of the summer to pursue post-graduate studies in Higher Education at the University of Toronto. The positions of Director of Admissions and Registrar will be combined, while the Secretaryship of the University, which had been combined with the position of Registrar, will become a distinct position, reflective of the increasing responsibilities involved therein. Mr. Lawrance joined the University in August of 1969 as the Director of General Services. In this capacity he has been responsible for the administration of food services, the bookstore and printshop, conferences and room bookings, the shopping mall, the development fund, office services and others. Mr. Lawrance's previous experience included over twenty years in industry, and he now plans to return to industry, in the field of communications. He will take up his new position, located in Columbus, Ohio, in June of this year. Mr. Lawrance's duties will be divided and assumed by a number of existing staff. Research Money Awarded The Department of Health of the Government of Ontario has granted an award to Professor Walter R. Crowe of the School of Business Administration to assist in the continuation of his research in the area of "Forecasting of Demand for Hospital Supplies". Professor Crowe will continue development for a computer based inventory control (demand forecasting) system which he designed for the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto and will spend some weeks in the Operations Research Department of the Birmingham Regional Hospital Board in England, investigating recent developments in the British Health Service towards computer usage and hospital supplies. Professor R. G. Rosenhart of the Department of Chemical Engineering received a research grant of $7,000 from the National Advisory Committee on Water Resources Research to carry out a research project entitled "Arsenic detection and investigation of economic removal facilities for mine process waters". �. ~ .. . .,. ~ • i\: •,' 'I /, \ 1 Graduate Studies Survey Dr. Melvin A. Preston, Dean of Graduate Studies at McMaster University, has been appointed executive vice-chairman of a committee which is to survey the whole area of graduate studies in all Ontario universities. While he was resigned his appointment as Dean effective July 1 and been granted leave of absence, he will maintain his connection with McMaster where, as Professor of Theoretical Physics, he will continue to supervise his own graduate students. The body where his executive leadership will be exercised is the Advisory Committee on Academic Planning. It has been charged by the universities of Ontario and the Department of University Affairs with making a thorough study of the entire graduate studies field in this province. Its recommendations will be aimed at making the best possible use of the human and financial resources available for post-graduate work. Born in Toronto, Dean Preston took graduate and post-graduate degrees at the University of Toronto and later studied for his doctorate in mathematical physics at the University of Birmingham. He was appointed to the McMaster faculty in 1953, becoming a full professor in 1959. In 1963 he was appointed chairman of the undergraduate unit in applied mathematics and, in 1965, Dean of Graduate Studies. Following his undergraduate studies at the University of Toronto, he served for three years as an officer in the Royal Canadian Artillery. He is much sought after as a lecturer in nuclear physics both in Cc;!nada and abroad. In 1961 he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada. COU Appointment The Council of Ontario Universities announced today the appointment of Dr. M. A. Preston as Executive Vice-Chairman of a newly established Advisory Committee on Academic Planning effective July 1, 1971. The Advisory Committee on Academic Planning was set up after extended discussion in the various provincial universities aimed at creating a structure to ensure effective planning and coordination of graduate studies on a province-wide basis. The Committee is to assist groups representing the various academic disciplines to plan the development of their respective areas of study. The Committee will also recommend to the Council the carrying out of major reviews of the state of selected disciplines from time to time, and supervise the conduct of such assessments. The first such review, of engineering education, was published by the Council in January 1971. The Council is planning to undertake a number of assessments of discipline development over the next several years. The tasks of the Executive Vice-Chairman will be to serve as a member of the Advisory Committee, to maintain liaison with discipline groups, and to make arrangements for the carrying out of discipline assessments. The establishment of the Advisory Committee on Academic Planning is the latest in a series of steps undertaken by the Committee of Presidents and the Ontario Council on Graduate Studies over the last several years, with the general aim of creating an effective system of graduate education to meet the needs of the province. Dr. Preston, a noted physicist, was born in Toronto, and received his PhD. from the University of Birmingham in 1949. He has served on the faculties of the University of Birmingham, the University of Toronto, and McMaster University. Since 1965 he has been Dean of Graduate Studies at McMaster University. Dr. Preston is a fellow of the Royal Society of Canada. Shinerama Conference From May 21-24, Lakehead University will be hosting the Ontario Shinerama Conference.

VOLUME:.-3 (' NUMBE~ 2 ...... JIJNE 18, 1971 light-hearted cynic, wherein he endeavours to capture a subtle balance between humour and the weighty social issues of our day. Local Art Talent Ken Campbell was born in Thunder Bay and raised in Peterborough. He returned to the Lakehead three years ago, and has completed the second year in Arts, majoring in Sociology. He plans to carry on in third year if his budding careers as musician and artist permit. He is currently on tour with a local pop group known as "Sunshower", but local people will more readily associate him with some quality art work which he has displayed at the Thunder Bay Fine Arts Show. Mr. Campbell has been painting and sketching for about ten years. His artistic interest has focussed on cartoons si nee about December 1970, when he became dissatisfied with the quality of local cartoons. In addition to about twenty cartoons in the Argus, Mr. Campbell has been published in J ., about ten other university and college student newspapers, including the University of Winnipeg, Dalhousie University, and the Northern Alberta I nstitute of Technology. The quality of his work was noticed by Comcrest, Ltd., who have included Mr. Campbell's work in their series of registered Canadian Talent Prints. According to his agent, Mr. Campbell is the only Canadian producing poster-size editorial cartoons, many of which are available at the Lakehead University Book Store. His father is a naturalist, and Ken Campbell was raised in an atmosphere of respect for nature, and much of his work reflects this background. His editorial approach is that of the Library Technology Project Twenty library technician students from the Lakehead University School of Library Technology will be employed this summer in a Library project entitled: LIBRARY TECHNOLOGY PROJECT FOR ELEMENTARY SCHOOL DEVELOPMENT - THUNDER BAY, which involves both the Public and Separate Elementary Schools in the Lake head area. This scheme is sponsored by the Federal Department of State and as part of the Opportunities for Youth Program and is valued at $20,200.00. The students will be employed for a thirteen week period commencing June 1. Officially, the purpose of the project is to assist the elementary schools in the Lakehead, comprising 22,800 pupils, in the setting up of instructional and resource centres where no library facilities exist. These students will be doing inventory, mending, processing, and cataloguing books in addition to setting up vertical and picture files. The first six weeks of the project will be devoted to assessing the exact needs of the various schools and then the actual planning and work in setting up the instructional and resource centres will begin. The students in this project are: Kerrie Atkinson, Laura Benvegnu, Arnold Boulianne, Barbara Campbell, John Chan, Frank Denyes, Luba Domansky, Chris Fallen, Denyse Bergamo, Marlene Hamilton, Harry Huskins, Tom Henshall, Cathy Ladigen, Dan Mahoney, Susan McMurtry, Brenda Percy, Champa Ramjass, Arlene Sim, Laurie Wilson and Nada Zugic. The Consultants for the project are Dr. W. L. C. Greer, former Chief Librarian of the Port Arthur Public Library, and Mr. Maynard Bjorgo, Assistant Professor of Library Science, Lakehead University, and Mr. Jack Malcolm, Learning Materials Co-Ordinator, Lakehead District, Roman Catholic • Separate School Board. Schools participating in this project thus far are: Crawford, Green Acres, Heath Park, Prospect, Sir John A. MacDonald, Shuniah, St. Mary's and St. Paul's. �• Canadian Math Congress The University welcomed delegates from all across Canada to the Canadian Mathematical Congress during the past week, June 16th to June 18th. Highlights of the Conference included the JefferyWilliams Lecture, delivered this year by Professor W. T. Tutte of the University of Waterloo, and the public lecture entitled "Fun With Elementary Geometry" which was presented by Dr. Z. P. Dienes of the University of Sherbrooke. New Athletic Set-Up As of May 1st, 1972, the Western Canada Intercollegiate Athletic Association will be dissolved and replaced by two new autonomous groups. The decision to disband the WCIAA was made at the Association's recent annual meeting in Calgary when Dr. Lou Goodwin, Director of Physical Education of the University of Calgary, was returned as President. The vast geographical area of Western Canada, coupled with expenses. were the key factors which led to the break-up of the WCIAA. For the 1971-72 schedule the organization will operate on a divisional basis prior to incorporation as two independent conferences. Likely universities to be members of the western conference are the Universities of Calgary, Alberta, Lethbridge, British Columbia and Victoria. In the east, Lakehead University of Thunder Bay, Ontario, newly affiliated with WCIAA, will join the Universities of Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Winnipeg and Brandon. courses was changed to June 21st.

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

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

For further information, contact the Extension Department (Ext. 210) or the Music Department (Ext. 444 or 344-0631 ). Off-Campus Housing The Off-Campus Housing Bureau is operated in conjunction with the Office of the Dean of Students. Its purpose is to help prospective students to find suitable accommodation while attending Lakehead University. This year, the task is being handled by Miss Susan Duke, who is a resident of Thunder Bay and a fourth year student at Lakehead University. Persons wishing information from the Off-Campus Housing Bureau can either call Miss Duke at Lakehead University, 345-2121, Ext. 726, or come to room UC 0003K, one of the interviewing offices located beneath the Agora. Accommodation listings are presently available for summer school students. Anyone wishing accommodations for the fall, however, will be placed on a mailing list, and will receive the fall listings in August. This procedure must be adopted due to the lack of housing listings for the July and August period. It is hoped that by the end of July there will be more places to offer students of the regular session. Area residents who have accommodations for rent are asked to call the Off-Campus Housing. Accommodations at present are very few. Rooms, room and board, apartments and houses are needed for both the summer and fal I terms.

Volume 3 Number 34 July 9, 1971 President's Annual Report The following is President Tamblyn's Annual Report addressed to the Annual Meeting of the Board of Governors, held on Tuesday, June 29, 1971 in the Senate Chamber of Lakehead University. "Mr. Chairman, Members of the Board of Governors: It is my pleasure and my duty at this time to report to the Board of Governors on the activities of the University during the past year. The academic year 1970/71 at Lakehead University has been one of continued growth and conDr. W. G. Tamblyn tinuing change, of difficulties and, I believe, of progress. The growing pains of any institution are considerable, but they are perhaps more painful in a university, with the delicate balances which must be established and safeguarded in an academic community. L.U. Media Services Admit to Lecture Card is available at the Extension & Summer School Office for those who have not yet received one. ENROI_MENT Before dealing with the difficulties and progress which we have experienced this year, I would like to outline some aspects of growth and change by means of some relevant statistics. Full-time enrolment increased over the previous year by more than fifteen per cent, rising from 2,599 undergraduates and 42 graduates to 2,876 undergraduates and 57 graduates. Enrolment by part-time students has also continued to grow, from a total of 2,480 students in 1969/70 to a total of 2,613 in the current year. This includes students enrolled in evening classes during the fall and winter, students in spring term and summer term, and students who I ive in the smaller communities of Northwestern Ontario �and are able to pursue university-level studies because of our Extension Program. This year the University offered twenty-two credit courses in thirteen different locations within a three hundred mile radius of Thunder Bay . Growth is also measured in a university by the number of degrees and diplomas which it awards. At our first Convocation, in 1965, a total of 76 degrees and diplomas were granted. Last year this number had risen to 712, while in the current year a total of 771 degrees, diplomas, and certificates were conferred. This constitutes a ten-fold increase in the size of our graduating class in just six years. CAPITAL PROJl:ClS The University has attempted to keep pace with developments in academic programs, enrolment, and research, by providing additional physical facilities as required. Although the Board is familiar with the details of the University's capital program, I would like to briefly summarize the major components of the program at this time. Work is currently in progress on the 40,000 square foot academic building with an estimated total cost of $2.5 million. Phase One of the extension to the Athletic Building, valued at $550,000 is also underway. Work on the power house extension, the installation of additional power house equipment, and utilities extension, are all in progress at an estimated cost total of $1.8 million. Site Services during the past fiscal year, which included the dam, the lake, landscaping and site development, were valued at approximately $1 .2 million. Preliminary approval has been received from the Government for a major renovation to the Faculty of Education building, with an estimated cost of $250,000. The Government's decision not to approve our planned extension to the Library building has necessitated the construction of a temporary structure, at a cost of $105,000, which will provide essential classroom and office space for the coming academic year as wel I as meeting Library growth needs unti I the original Library extension project is reactivated. Work is in progress in the Library building relative to the eventual removal from that building of those non--Library functions which wi 11 go to the Academic Building. This work is providing, in the main, additional space for the Library operation. There is also a Capital Project of the order of $212,000 to cover alterations to our present structures, primarily in the Main Building, for the purpose of upgrading facilities consistent with our needs. Finally, tenders will be solicited in early July on Phase Two of the Athletic Building extension, although no final decision re the construction of this extension has yet been made. This phase will include an olympic-size swimming pool with ancillary functions, at an estimated total cost of $1.7 million. The project facilities are designed for joint use by Confederation College and the Community in general, as wel I as the University. The City of Thunder Bay has tied its annual grant to the University to this specific project, while the Provincial Government has indicated that it is prepared to assist in the financing if there is a guarantee that the facility will serve the needs of both the University and the College. Negotiations with the College in these matters are in progress." NEW PROGRAMS This year, as in the past, a great deal of time and effort has been devoted to the further extension and development of existing academic programs, and to the preparation of new programs. The University has received the necessary approval from Government bodies to offer the complete four-year degree program in Forestry. As you all know, only the first two years of this program have been available here in the past, and our Forestry students were forced to transfer to another university to complete their studies . The third year of the Forestry Program will commence this September, with the fourth and final year to be added in 1972. Another new addition to commence this September is the Bachelor of Liberal Science program which has been designed to meet the growing academic and career needs of students for a general education which includes a strong base in Science. DIFFICULTIES $)me of the difficulties which we have faced this past year have been the cause of considerable pubI icity and comment in the local community and even in Toronto. I believe, however. that our problems are much similar to those experienced by many other Canadian universities. We feel our difficulties very acutely here, perhaps because we are still in the process of establishing procedures for a wide variety of eventualities. The non-renewal of the probationary contract of a faculty member in the Department of Sociology and Anthropology was the spark for some disruption on campus this year. The faculty member concerned was a leading participant in a month-long sit-in in the Administrative Wing of the University Centre, which saw a smal I number of students and nonstudents demanding immediate concessions which would have had the effect of threatening the internal checks and balances of the University in the area of contractual arrangements. As a result of these �pressures and actions, the University Senate estab1ished an Ad Hoc Committee to review the validity of the reasons for the non-renewal of contract. You have all received a copy of the Ad Hoc Committee's ~ep<;>rt, and of the Senate motions endorsing their findings that the reasons for dismissal were accurate and val id and that the decision not to renew the contract was just and had fol lowed due process. cuss. a particular matter of mutual concern. If such meetings produce no other result, they will allow members of the two senior governing bodies the opportunity to acquire an understanding of each other's perspective. I do not believe that the difficulties associated with this faculty member have weakened our institution. The problem was met rationally and resolved. The University community bore witness to its cap~city to acc?mmodate within itself differing opinions and actions. The demonstration remained peaceful and was not al lowed to escalate to vio1ence, as has so frequently occurred elsewhere. I would not go so far as to suggest that the experience was beneficial, but I do suggest it has helped_ to ~ake us aware of our growing maturity as a un1vers1ty. WRIGHT COMMISSION The final Report on the Wright Commission on PostSecondary Education in Ontario has still to be presented to the University. The effects of that Report might well prove to be far-reaching insofar as the future development of this University and of our ~ister institution, the Confederation College of Applied Arts and Technology, is concerned. It must be admitted, however, that regardless of the final outcome, the Wright Cammi ssion has served as an impetus for co-operation between these two institutions. Dialogue and co-ordination were not created by the Wright Commission, but they were no doubt accelerated by the activities of that body. However, there is a pressing need to examine the fu~damental relationships among the various const1tuen~ parts of the University community, and the respective roles of the Board of Governors and the Senate. There is a very real danger that one or more particular factions within the community might seek to take unto itself ultimate authority over a broad range of m_atters without being aware of, or capable of assuming, the responsibilities involved. It 1s my personal opinion that many members of the University community are only too willing to assume authority, but at the same time show that their se~se ?f responsibility does not encompass the ~n1vers1ty as _a whole but rather is narrowly confined to a particular segment of the institution. PROGRESS I mentioned earlier, Mr. Chairman, that there were indications that the University had not only grown during the past year, but had al so progressed. I think that the quality of our faculty and of the academic programs which they conduct is a very real measure of our development as a University. The integration of our Faculty of Education, though not without its stresses and difficulties, has resulted in the availability for the people of this region of a number of programs in professional teacher training. The manner in which the University community dealt with some of the serious chal lenges of this past year is also a sign of our developing maturity. The questions of a proper structure for a university, o! the proper balance among the parts of a university, and of the proper role for the administrators of a univ~rsity, a~e not merely local problems - they are questions ~h1ch trouble all universities. A year ago we established a Commission on University ~overnmental ~rganization which was representative of the various segments of the University. The ~ork ?f t~is Commission was interrupted by the 1nvest1gat1on of post-secondary education in Northwest~rn Ontario by a Provincial Commission. The possible results and recommendations of this Provincial Commission notwithstanding, I believe that we must reactivate our own Commission and proceed with the examination of our internal structures. In the interim period, it would perhaps be advantageous to hold periodic joint meetings of the Executive Committees of the Board of Governors and of the Senate, similar to one held recently to dis- The period of accelerated physical expansion is now coming to an end. Our rate of growth, though sti 11 substantial, wi 11 be at such a I evel that we wi 11 have a greater opportunity to concentrate our attention on qualitative development. In this new period we are now entering, we are fortunate to have men such as the Honourable Mr. Justice Bora Laskin, our new Chancellor, and Dr. Donald Eldon, our new vice-President. These are men whose experience and wisdom will prove to be major assets. And finally, Mr. Chairman, I would like to express my sincere appreciation to the members of the Board of Governors, and in particular to yourself and the members of the Executive Committee, for the constant support, understanding, and guidance which were extended to me during this past year.

Correspondence should be addressed to: Office of International Relations National Research Counci I of Canada Ottawa, Ontario Family Life Program Currently launched as a two-credit summer course under the direction of the Psychology Department, Lakehead University·s Family Life Program is an indepth course in sex and sexuality. Its purpose is to give people, particularly parents and teachers, sufficient insight into the nature of human sexuality so that they can I ive happier I ives and create healthier learning situations for their children and students. According to Father Leo Lafreniere, pioneer of the Family Life Program in Thunder Bay, "sexuality has always been shrouded in mystery. The most wonderful accomplishment of a man and a woman, the procreation of a child, remained a mystery until about fifty years ago." Because of its necessary role in the survival of the human race, "sexuality has always been associated with a religion which made laws and regulations to protect it." But these laws were always based on religious belief rather than on a clear picture of human sexuality. For example, Old Testament Jews emphasized procreation in order to generate a Messiah. Many early Christians, on the other hand, looked upon sex as a danger- �.I . l ous physical diversion which tended to impede spiritual pursuits. As a result, religion instigated many taboos and fostered unnecessary gui It because of its ignorance of the nature of sex and sexuality. Although it emphasized the holiness of marital union, the Christian religion never came to grips with the purposes of the sexual act before the present century. Insights came gradually. Around A.O. 400, St. Augustine revived emphasis on procreation. A thousand years later, St. Thomas Aquina wrote: ..... to impel man to the act whereby the deficiency of the species is aided, God put delight in copulation." But it was not until 1930 that the Christian Church officially recognized all aims of sexual intercourse, including the procreation and education of children, the expression of love, and the satisfaction of personal needs. Ham Field "Day" According to Jim Wheeler of Engineering, the University Amateur Radio Station along with several staff and students took part in the A.R.R.L. Emergency Field "Day", June 26/27. Amateurs throughout North America and al I American territories hit the hi II s to operate fortwenty-seven ( 27) hours under emergency conditions, i.e. NO HYDRO ... just portable generators and any equipment you can carry to the site, "We 'set up' at Lake Shebandowan and managed to stay awake and 'on the air' the full 27 hours. The issue in the twentieth century involves controlling the rate of birth rather than "aiding the deficiency of of the species." The current sexua I revolution is a quest for values. Now that facts about sex are common knowledge, younger people demand to know how to act. There is a genera I need for understanding of our sexuality, of our maleness and femaleness, so that we can accept ourselves for what we are and so that we can relate more readily and more responsibly within our families. The Family Life Program, by exposing people to expert judgements on sex and sexuality, and through encouraging dialogue and discussion, purposes to promote understanding and acceptance of sex and sexuality in human life. The program cannot deny its moral basis ( i.e., a genuine respect and concern for self and others), but it does exclude biased preaching from any religious point of view. Other Universities The appointment of Mr. B. R. James, B.A., C.A., as Assistant Vice-President Administration of McMaster University has been announced by Dr. H. G. Thode, President of the University. Mr. James will act as deputy to D. M. Hedden, Vice-President Administration, and have special responsibilities in the area of finance. The Honourable Emmett Matthew Hall, Justice of the Supreme Court of Canada, has been appointed Chancellor of the University of Guelph, President W. C. Winegard has announced. Justice Hall, who succeeded the Honourable George Drew when he retired on June 30th, wi II be installed at the fall Convocation of the University in October.

Since it takes several months to tallyall the results we are still just hoping. Next year we may forget about this year's difficulties and want to do it again." Students wishing to register opinions or suggestions regarding University food services are urged to contact the office of the Dean of Students. �I, An Office of Library Coordination, designed to guide and develop a wide range of cooperative activities among the provincially-assisted university libraries in Ontario, has been created by the Counci I of Ontario Uni vers iti es. The aim is to achieve a system of academic libraries which are essentially self-sufficient in providing service for undergraduates, and which are effectively interdependent in serving graduate students, faculty and research needs. The Council has requested that the Office give high priority to an investigation of centralized technical processing and its alternatives. Cost studies wi 11 be conducted on acquisitions, cataloguing, reC.ords, production, shelf preparation, and related services in university libraries. In the examination of alternatives, the experience of university users and other information on existing processing centres will be studied. The targeted completion date for the investigation is late spring 1972. Bicultural Exchange Lakehead University is pleased to announce that it will be one of seven Ontario Universities featuring indepth studies of Canada's two official languages this summer. The Summer Language Bursary Program was initiated by the Federal Government and is administered by the provincial departments of education . Each student accepted under the program wi 11 receive a bursary of $550 to defray a 11 costs of the six week program. English-speaking students will experience rigorous study of the French language and culture. Frenchspeaking students will have an opportunity to immerse themselves into the language and customs of English Canadians. The program at Lakehead University wi 11 involve thirty English-speaking students frnm across Canada, who wi 11 study under Mr. Andre Cloutier of the University's French Department. Also, thirty French-speaking students from post-secondary institutions in Quebec wi 11 study English under r>r. M. A. Colina . Not only will students learn in morning and afternoon classroom sessions, but they will also find it necessary to put their learning to work, as they are expected to conduct their daily life in the language they are studying. In their daily instruction the students will have full access to all facilities of the University's Language Department. Al I audio-visual equipment in the Language Labs will be utilized; also, the library is expected to be of great benefit to a 11 the students involved. The program at Lakehead University is being admini;:;tered through the office of the Dean of Students, as well as that of the Director of Extension and Summer School. Everyone involved in the program is optimistic about this unique opportunity to give Canadian students a better understanding of Canada, and the problems presented by Canada's biculturalism. Book Preparation Dr. Gerhard P. Knapp, Assistant Professor of German, has been awarded a research grant from the Chancellor's Fund. In cooperation with various outstanding experts in Canada, the United States and Germany, he is preparing the publication of a book on Friedrich Durrenmatt, the well-known Swiss Dramatist. Among the contributing scholars is Dr. A. A. Scholl, Assistant Professor of French. Dr . Knapp expects the publication of this study in the coming year. He has also recently published an article on Francis Bacon's theories of method and invention in the well-known periodical "Zeitschrift fu'r Philosophische Forschung". Privacy Threatened? The 40th Annual Couchiching Conference on public affairs takes place at Geneva Park, Ontario, between August 4th and 8th, 1971. This conference will examine whether individual privacy is being threatened by social and technological changes and, if so, what steps might be taken to safeguard our privacy. Government officials, academicians, businessmen, I awyers, authors and journalists wi 11 participate as speakers and panelists during the five day conference which will examine such areas as Privacy, the Law, and Law Enforcement; Computers and "The Dossder Di lemma"; Privacy and the Media; and Privacy and Urban Life. The keynote address and summary discussions wi 11 be handled by Dr. Alan F. Westin, Professor of Public Law and Government at Columbia University and a world authority on the subject.

They are Canadian Studies, Theatre Arts and Industrial Relations. The Canadian Studies program leads to a Bachelor of Arts Degree in English with concentration in Canadian I iterature and related subjects. It is open to students who have a basic understanding of the English and French languages and who meet the entrance requirements of the Department of English of Lakehead University. Courses offered by the Department of English would necessari I y be comp I emented by relevant, Canadiancontent courses in Sociology, Anthropology, History, Economics and Poli ti cal Science. Dr. George Merrill, Chairman of the Department of English, commented that the knowledge, understanding and appreciation of Canadian thought and culture gleaned from this course of studies would prepare people for careers in government where an awareness of bilingualism and biculturalism becomes increasingI y important. The Department of English al so announces a new Theatre Arts program, presented in association with Confederation College. It will be a four-year program leading to a Bachelor of Arts Degree in English with a special diploma in Theatre Arts. The first two years wi II be spent following electives leading to a degree in English at the University, with emphasis on the study of classic dramatic works. Practical experience will be gained at Confederation • College in the third year when students will learn through lectures and theatre workshops. The course will be concluded in a fourth year of study at the University. The Department of Economics announces a new interdisciplinary program in lndustri al Relations, wherein courses in Economics will be complemented by relevant studies in Political Science, Psychology and Sociology. This·,interdisciplinary module leads to an Honours Bachelor of Arts Degree in Economics with a concentration in lndustri al Relations. Every year of the program will be offered this fall. Therefore, students at the University who wish to transfer into the courseare asked to contact Dr. Chris A. Jecchin is of the Department of Economics. This program is designed to prepare people for careers NUMBER 36 DEC AUGUSf 12,1971 in industry, or in government services where a detailed knowledge of industrial relations, personnel management, manpower planning, or human resources development is required. Commenting on the relevance of such programs, Professor Tim Ryan, Dean of the Faculty of Arts, states that he is particularly pleased to see the development of a special study of Canada, and in particular the encouragement of the French language as a vital part of the Canadian Studies program. He is also gratified, as Vice-chairman of the Board of Governors of Confederation College, to witness the continuing development of cooperation between the College and Lakehead University, such as in the Theatre Arts program. Dean Ryan sees the Industrial Relations program as especially relevant in the community of Thunder Bay, and he is hopeful that many adult residents will participate. "As in any new program", says Dean Ryan, "there are bound to be some bugs. However we feel that we are making a solid endeavour to provide a wider range of coherent courses of study of unquestionable benefit." Feasibility Study In February of this year, Dr. R.A. Ross, Dean of the Faculty of Science at Lakehead University announced that he had received a grant of $25,000 from the Nationa I Research Council of Canada to finance a feasibility study regarding the location of an area-oriented research centre in Applied Sci enc es at Lakehead University. At the time, Dr. Ross had hoped to acqui-re the services of a "senior scientist" who would carry out such a study in the period of one year. It would appear that the project could not have attracted a more eminently qualified man than Dr. Norman S. Grace, who has recently arrived at the University. A graduate and gold medalist from the Uni versity of Saskatchewan, Dr. Grace received his Ph.D. from the Dr. Norman S.. Grace �University of London in 1931. After Post-Doctoral work at the University of California, he joined the Physics Department of the University of Toronto in 1933. Since 1935, he has been a professional research chemist, mainly with the Dunlop Company, until his retirement last year. Throughout his distinguished carrer, Dr. Grace has been a leader in the industrial and scientific community. For example, he is a Past-President of the Chemical Institute of Canada, and first President of the Association of the Scientific Engineering and Technological Community of Canada, a ·novel Canadian organization dedicated to coordinating the efforts of the scientific community in Canada toward keeping the government and the public expertly infor.med with regard to scientific solutions to pressing human probI ems such as pollution, and the need for wisdom in the allocation of our human and natural resources. Dr. Grace approaches this specific feasibility study in the context of his vast experience, and in the Ii ght of Canada's needs today. He is presently concerned with determining the uniqueness of Thunder Bay and the Region of Northwestern Ontario, so that he can evaluate our potential for contributing to Canada and the world in the area of interdi sci pl inary scientific research on the broadest conceiveable scale. In Pursuit of Accµracy Dr. J. David Martin, Associate Professor of Sociology, has just published a paper on sociological measurement in the American Sociological Review, which is widely regarded as the leading forum for publications in sociology. The article, written by Dr. Martin and Dr. iLouis N. Gray of Washington State University, is entitled "Measurement of Relative Variation: Sociological examples." The article deals with the prob! em of measuring variables, such as group consensus and power balance or imbalance, which are best expressed in terms of variability rather than in terms of average values. Basketball Camp The conventional measures for such variables are simple dispersion statistics, which do not ·allow for differences in the central tendency or average value of the things measured, and Dr. J. D. Martin a "Coefficient of Variation" computed by dividing such a statistic by a measure of central tendency. In order to avoid interference with the pre-season football training the evening session of the Lakehead University Basketball Camp has been moved up one week to August 23-27. Late applications will be accepted. Those interested should cal I Coach Howard B. Lockhart at 344-8974 or 344-2262. The evening session will begin at7 and finish at 10 p.m. In their paper, Ors. Martin and Gray point out that the common interpretation of the coefficient of variation as a zero-to-one measure is incorrect. They present a correction formula which generates a measure that ranges from zero to one. The advantages of having this range include comparability and ease of interpretation; any value can be compared with any other because all values are proportions of the maximum possible variation. Whatever Dr. Grace's findings, the University and the community at large can be confident that they will be based on a clear and complete picture of the area. Other Universities Brock University Board of Governors has confirmed that Dr. A.J. Earp, Provost and Vice-President, wi II serve as Chief Executive Officer with the additional title of Acting President during the one-year I eave-ofabsence recently approved for Dr. J.A. Gibson. Martin and Gray are currently working on a second paper dealing with this topic. The "Coefficient of Variation" can be properly applied to only a I imited cl ass of data, and therefore they are designing a measure to be used where the "Coefficient of Variation" is inappropriate. New L.U. Registrar Dr. W.G. Tamblyn, President of Lakehead University, �is pleased to announce the appointment of Mr. W. John McDonnel I to the position of Registrar. As Registrar, Mr. McDonnell will report to the University's recently appointed Vice-President, Dr. Donald Eldon, and wi II be responsible for advising on academic regulations, for the admission and registration of all students, for advising students concerning their academic programs, for the maintenance of appropriate records, for the scheduling of lectures and examinations,for liaison with secondary schools, and for other related duties. applicants. Both during and after the admission period the Centre will prepare extensive statistics on admissions patterns. Mr. McDonnell is a chemist with many years of university teaching experience, and he brings to his new position considerable administrative experience. He was Dean of Freshmen and Admissions at Loyola College (Montreal) for two years; Dean of Arts, Science and Commerce at Loyola for five years; Director of Faculty Research atCanisius College(Buffalo, r'IL.Y.) for three years; and Di rector of Graduate Fellowships and scholarships at Canisius for eight years. Mr. McDonnel I has al so had many years of experience in student counselling. Colin B. Mackay, former President of the University of New Brunswick and a former President of the Association of Universities and Colleges of Canada, has been appointed Executive Director of the AUCC. He succeeds Mr. Geoffrey Andrew, who has occupied the position since 1962. Mr. McDonnell received his B.A. in Science at Loyola College and his M.A. in Chemistry at the University of Toronto. He has al so a Ph.L. in Philosophy and the S.TL in Theology, both from Regis College. Mr. McDonnell will arrive at the University in mid-August. Application Centre The Council of Ontario Universities has appointed Mr. H.W. Pettipiere as Director of a new Ontario Universities' Application Centre. Mr. Pettipiere was the author of a report prepared for the Council on the design and operation of the Centre. Problems of multiple applications and acceptances have increasingly caused difficulty under existing procedures. By funneling all applications for admi ssion to any of the Ontario universities through the Application Centre such problems can be eliminated. The Application Centre wi II be managed under the Council of Ontario Universities as a collective venture. The basic functions of the Centre will be to receive and record applications, decisions taken by universities concerning applicants, and student acceptances of offers of admission. The Centre will also provide a means to put qualified but unplaced Ontario students in touch with universities which have places available, and at the end of the admission period, will be able to advise universities about students not placed so that steps may be taken to accommodate the maximum possible number of qualified The Centre is being financed during its developmental year by a special grant of $150,000 from the Depart• ment of University Affairs. In subsequent years the costs wi II be borne by the uni versi ti es. AUCC Executive Director Dr. Mackay, who assumed his duties on July 1, is responsible to the Board for the affairs of the AUCC. In particularhe directs the affairs of the association's secretariat, located in Ottawa. As Executive Director, he also serves as a member of the Board of Directors. Lakehead Wrestling Camp From August 23-27 and August 30 to September 3, 1971, the Faculty of Education Gymnasium at Lakehead University will be the site of a physical activities program for boys interested in wrestling.

Born and educated in the Maritimes, Mr. Haggerty graduated in Forestry from the University of New Brunswick . Upon graduation he accepted a position with the Marathon Corporation . In 1951, he joined the Lakehead Technical In• sti tute as a I ecturer in Forestry. He accepted JACK HAGGERTY responsibility for the Forestry program in 1957. When the School of Forestry was established at the University in 1965, he was appointed Chairman, in which position he held the rank of Associate Professor in Forestry. Throughout his 20 years of association with Lakehead University, the School of Forestry was his primary concern . He was not only dedicated to maintaining high standards, but he was also a driving force behind the expansion of the Forestry program to full degree status . Largely as a result of his efforts, this has finally been achieved . The appointment of additional staff was announced by Mr. Haggerty only last week . His loss will be felt deeply in the community, particularly at the University, where fruits of his leadership in the School of Forestry wi 11 always be a tribute to him . L.U. Parking Regulations On August 25, 1971, the Board of Governors of Lakehead University adopted traffic and parking regulations which wi II become effective on campus on September 1, 1971. "The purpose of these regulations is to facilitate the safe and orderly conduct of University traffic and parking and to provide services within the limits of.available space and facilities" . Copies of the Lakehead University Traffic and Parking Regulations 1971-1972 are being sent to all fulltime and part-time Faculty and Staff members and copies will be provided to all students during Regis- tration . Copies are also avaI a e at e ecunty Office, Room UC0003G .These regulations apply to all persons operating and parking a motorized vehicle on campus . The following are excerpts from the Regulations: ... Free parking is available in the lots in front of the Faculty of Education (lot 9) and adjacent to the Athletics Building ( lot 10) . ... Al I persons are required to obtain an authorized parking permit for any motorized vehicle which they wish to park on University property, with the following exceptions: (i) permits are not required for parking in lots 9 and 10 (the lots in front of the Faculty of Education and adjacent to the Athletics Building, respectively) . (ii) permits are not required for parking on University property between the hours of 7:30 p.m. and 8:00 a.m. Monday through Friday and at any time on Saturday, Sunday and official holidays. ... The following are the types of regular parking permits and the parking fee corresponding to each for 1971 /72 . $10.00 Faculty/ Staff Vehicle 10.00 Full-time Student Vehicle 10.00 Residence Student Vehicle 5.00 Part-time Student Vehicle Motorcycle, scooter, etc. 5.00 Visitors' Vehicle ( unlimited entry) 10.00 ... A temporary visitor's permit may be purchased at the time of entry onto the campus for a fee of 25¢ and wi 11 be va Ii d for the date issued. ... While every effort will be made to provide adequate parking space, a parking permit is not a guarantee that a space will always be available . ... Vehicles which are parked on fire access routes, illegally parked in reserved or service areas, obstructing the passage of emergency or service vehicles, blocking entrances or in any other way impeding proper traffic movement, shal I be towed off campus. If such action is necessary, the operator and/or owner of the vehicle wi II be responsible for all costs involved. ... These traffic regulations are in effect twenty-four hours per day. Parking permits may be obtained at the Accounts Office upon submission of the completed appl ication form and payment of the required fee. It is hoped that a 11 Fae uI ty and Staff members wi 11 obtain their permits prior to Registration in order to avoid long waiting lines when the students are here for Registration . The parking permits must be obtained by September 15. �Academic Building The construction currently underway adjacent to the Main Building and the Library is known as the Academic Building . It will house faculty offices and classrooms; and it will serve all faculties in the University . It includes classrooms in a multitude of shapes and sizes designed to complement current approaches to learning. For example, there are three "case study" rooms which feature horse-shoe shaped, teired tab I e•tops wherein attention is focused on the centre of the room from every vantage point. Academic Building Temporary Structure The building is designed to accommodate additions to i tse If, so that it can serve as a link in planned expansion which may eventual I y connect the Facu I ty of Education Building with the Current campus . It is to be completed for September 1972. As a result of cut-backs on the Provincial level, the University was forced into building a tempor• ary structure adjacent to the Library for the purpose of housing non•academic functions formerly located in the Library . The structure consists of one lecture theatre, two 1 seminar rooms and administrative offices . The entire interior is flexible so that partitions can be Irearranged for any purpose. When original plans for expanding the Library are reactivated, the temporary structure can be dismantled to be sold or re- used by the University . Athleti< Power House ·Complex Construction around the current Power House Complex represents expansion of power facilities to adequately supply the needs of a rapidly growing University in the areas of electricity, heating, chilled water for air conditioning, domestic water, and sewage disposal. Temporary Structure A second smoke-stack, a fourth boiler and additional air conditioning towers have been completed, or are under construction . �I, Completion of current projects will enable the Power House Complex to service considerably more square feet than we have at present. More additions, therefore, are not planned for the immediate future. Athletic Facilities Current construction around the Fieldhouse represent~ the third and final stage in construction of athletic facilities at Lakehead University. It features an olympic swimming pool, fifty meters long with six lanes. However, it also includes three squash courts, one general purpose training room suitable for gymnastics or dance exercises, a smaller room primarily for wrestling, and two classrooms . Outside ancillary facilities will include tennis courts and a learner's ski hill . This stage is slated for completion by September, 1972. The first stage in construction Power House Complex included a competition basketball court, offices for the Athletic Department, and minimal ancillary facilities . The second stage expanded facilities to accommodate the third stage; including shower faci I ities and a structural base for the third stage teaching facility. The swimming pool has been financed jointly by Confederation College, the City of Thunder Bay, and Lakehead University . And the facilities will be available to the entire community . Education Addition I ities This building was originally built by the Ontario Department of Public Works for the Department of Education . It was designed to educate teachers in the tradi tiona I way, so that the building resembles a conventiona I high school. The building is now woefully out of date. The addition to the east end wi 11 house a I ibrary on the second floor, with offices and classrooms below. Remodelling of the existing structure is also underway . For example, labs which served home economics and technical shops have been converted to a science lab area . Education Addition �W88KILl even~s mee~ings Arts and Crafts Campus Notes For the p~st several years non-credit programs in arts and crafts have been developing on the University campus . The Faculty of Arts is pleased to announce that this year, due to the dedication of a group of local artists and University officials, the Aesthetics Society, Incorporated, has come into beo ing on Campus and in the community . • Dr. J . S. Griffith, Associate Professor of Mathematics, has been invited to the United States Naval Observatory, Washington D.C. for a week of consultative talks in September on cooperative work in Celestial Mechanics . The main topic will be the extension of the theory of the motion of the Moon to match the precision of present day observations (laser ranging, spacecraft doppler, radar ranging) . Dr. Griffith is the sole representative from Canada on the United States Ephemeris Working Group, which was established to coordinate research on the orbital motion of the planets and satellites . The Aesthetics Society has a number of objectives, the foremost of which is to provide competent instruction in the arts for al I interested students and citizens of Thunder Bay and surrounding districts . Their aspirations lie in painting, pottery, and in a gallery where loca I artists' works may be exhibited . In the case of painting, they wish to set up a workshop which would be run on a year-round basis instead of just concurrent with the University's academic year. This would allow more members of the community, and in particular school children, to receive quality instruction in the use of charcoal, ink, watercolour and acrylics . With respect to pottery, the Aesthetics Society is anxious to see citizens of Northwestern Ontario given the opportunity to develop skills which have traditionally been lacking in this area . Approximately fifty students studied this past year at the facilities avai labl.e at the University . The program was a resounding success and the workshop instructor, Mrs . Jerri ' Ashby was discouraged only by the fact that some people who showed interest could not be accommodated due to the lack of resources . It is the aim of the Aesthetics Society to make provisions such that no person should be held back from developing his artistic ski 11 s and interests. The third ai n, of their program is the establishment of a permanent gallery to display the works of young artists. The gallery would also provide space to display work from all over Canada . The program will function at the University this year under the directorship of Ray Andrews in painting and Mrs . Jerri Ashby in the pottery workshops. Both courses wi II include demonstrations of different materials, various equipment, and novel techniques in painting and sculpting. It is hoped that those taking the courses wi 11 attempt more than one type of work. The pottery program wi 11 feature a Saturday morning children's workshop with the purpose of generating a local interest in art and an opportunity for creative expression from the earliest possible age. • Mr. A. MacDonald of the Biology Department presented a paper at the joint meetings of the Canadian Botanical Association and the American Institute of Biological Sciences, which took place at the University of Alberta, Edmonton, June 20•24 this year. The title. of his paper is "The floral development and morphological considerations of Comptonia pere• grina ." Also attending on behalf of the Biology Department were Dr. P. Barclay and Dr. G. H. Harvais. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections. For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/.
