AdrianusGrootenboer Anne Reise Platt The Governor General's Medal for the highest ranking graduating student in the graduating class of Honors degree programs was awarded to Maurice Wayne Benson. In his remarks, Dr. W. G. Tamblyn, President of the University, noted the continued growth of the University and made note of the fact that in this seventh Convocation Honors Bachelor of Commerce degrees, Bachelor of Education degrees, the Graduate Diploma in Economic Development, the Forest Environmental Certificate and the Logging Technology Certificate were being conferred by the University for the first time. Chancellor Justice Laskin gave the Convocation address (printed in its entirety in this issue). A dinner for the Chancellor and special guests was held at the University following the ceremonies. �Chancellor's Speech Mr. President, Members of the Board and of the Senate, Members of the Faculty, Members of t'1e Graduating Classes, Ladies and Gentlemen: For me, this occasion, this Convocation, t :is ceremony of induction is suffused in remembrar ;e and in sentiment. It is invested with pride and w th exultation. One does not easily escape one's origins; but I c1n say, without reservation, that I have never ma,1e the attempt. The toll of years has not dimmed 1,,y appreciation of my antecedents. Indeed, time f-1s strengthened it; and there is the pleasing reminc-er that comes from a continuing family presence in your midst. But now, what has been a tie at 1019 distance has been converted, through the generous assessment of the President, the Board and the Senate, into a personal affiliation that restores, so to speak, my citizenship of this community. I thank all those associated with my election as Chancellor for the honour they have done me. My duties are ceremonial only; I have the satisfaction and reap the pleasure of conferring degrees and awarding diplomas, without being involved in the arduous - and sometimes even hazardous tasks of administration, tasks that are a necessary prelude to certifying candidates as qualified for graduation. I shall not speculate too much on the reasons that lift the Chancellor of Lakehead University above the maelstrom of events that engulf the Board and the Senate. Whether it be to allow him to act as an unofficial counsellor, able to bring both dispassion and compassion to the consideration of problems that beset the responsible academic administrators; or whether it be simply to ensure his neutrality on academic issues so as to have at least one blameless person in an administrative post, I do not cavil at a system that excludes me from membership of the Board and from membership of the Senate. My own particular circumstances make this a very congenial arrangement. And, in any event, how often is it that one can be part of a university, especially nowadays, where all is pleasure and there is no pain? My roots in university life have been deep. They have successfully withstood my separation as a faculty member almost six years ago; and however formal be my role as Chancellor, the position will surely carry enough nourishment to keep those roots alive and strong. Although I can look back upon more than thirty years of affiliation since entered university as an undergraduate, I do not offer this span of years as a measure of my credentials for occypying this platform. My words will have to be self-supporting if they are to earn any approval. ·• I risk the accusation of triteness in saying that the university - and I speak now of all universities in Canada collectively - has been affecting a II our social institutions. The point of this remark is simply to underline the fact that the one-time privacy of university life has been crushed between the pressures, internal and external, to which it has been subjected. Of course, it was never the whole truth that the university was a private enclave, whether this be related to the financing of its operations or to its teaching and research. There was, for example, (and there still is) a public presence in the Board of Governors, although its role was also a protective one. Yet it is a short recall to the days when Convocation exercises and Convocation addresses were looked upon as the formal means of introducing the graduating student to the world outside the university which had sheltered him and her for three or four or more years. In the past decade, it has become the greater reality that the world in its present state and in its social evolution is very much within the university; and graduation merely represents a readiness to test the fitness of the world to be lived in. What this connotes for me is a greater consciousness of the need to harness our intellectual resources so that we may hit upon the seminal ideas that will lead to the improvement of the human condition and of the social and physical environment. The university is the place where we should arrive at and arrange our ideas before we are moved to action. If it is to perform this function, it must be free of commitment to any particular orthodoxy, and it must not be enveloped in an atmosphere of immediacy. We cannot, of course, be detached from the immediate, from the present; and it would be folly to suggest that the university student be discouraged from involvement in the problems of the day. Indeed it is a fulfillment of one of the purposes of a university to induce such an involvement. I remind you of the words of Plato in The Republic: "You have received a better and more thorough education than those other philosophers, and are more capable of participation in both public life and philosophy. You �I' must, therefore, descend by turns to dwell with the rest of the city." What is good and proper for the student is no less so for the faculty member. The danger, however, to the core of university life - the utmost freedom of inquiry, the search for knowledge, regardless of utility - is that in the concern of faculty and students to improve the present, it may be thought necessary to commit the university itself to particular stances in the realization of a particular set of ideas. It is in objecting to such a view of the meaning of a university that I emphasize the point certainly not an original one with me - that a university is not like a railway or airline timetable, good for such and such routes at such and such times only. I realize that I strike here at a fundamental concern that has generally been expressed in the proposition that the university as an institution of society must itself be relevant to that society and to its problems. As a lawyer and a judge, I am not entirely innocent of the significance of relevance. One's appreciation of relevance must take account of the matter in issue. How it is defined is a telling factor in connection with relevance. Addressed to the university, we must avow what we consider to be its function and its role. For me, it must stand not so much inside society as outside it, able to see it objectively and able, hopefully, to count on society to support this kind of externality. There is, therefore, no call in me for the politicization of the university, no wish to turn it into a social pressure agency, no desire to oblige it to provide social justification for its existence in instant results. All of this is quite consistent with the expansion of university concerns, and with the reorganization of its administrative practices and procedures to embrace the wider spectrum of courses which now characterize its programmes. Indeed, it is a II the more necessary by reason of such expansion and reorganization that the university itself remain open and uncommitted, offering hospitality to diverse beliefs and resisting attempts to force upon it particular conformities, whatever be their source. I am aware of the deep responsibility which such a view of the university places upon professors and students if they are of the kind - as so many are who would take up the challenge of commitment to some desirable social or political end. They must be trusted, of course, to balance their extracurri- cular activism with their obligations under their approved teaching and learning programmes. The clash of interests among professors and among students suggests itself as a factor that supports such a balance; the inner strength of the univer-. sity is the greater in the degree of such diversity. Beyond that, apart from their own self-discipline there is the collective restraint of the institution in which they teach and study. In the past decade, what I may call university order has undergone strain and change. No doubt, the strain was a necessary prelude to change in many universities. Among the results has been a wider sharing of administrative responsibilities, a greater accountability for decision-making, a lessening of, if not an end to discretionary supervision over students. These have helped to make the university more a community than it had hitherto been. The reforms in university administration, in the interrelations of members of faculty, and in the relations of faculty and students have involved, of course, the introduction of new organs, new procedures, new rules of operation. In short, universities have been developing law systems to give the assurance of fairness in their treatment of faculty and of students and in the processing of complaints. I have detected, in my experience with some of these developments, a tendency to go from one extreme to another, that is, to react against the arbitrary discretion that may have existed in some places by seeking to bring all activity under specific rules. It is a hopeless pursuit, in addition to being bad administration. There must be room for the play of judgment, whatever be the machinery by which exercises of judgment are reviewed. This is especially so to sustain the civility of university life, which, I am sure, is one aim upon which we would all agree. I have been general, and perhaps even sober in what I have said. I do have other moods, and will look forward to proving to you on another occasion that your Chancellor is not always as solemn as he may have appeared to you today. The warmth of the welcome I have received assures me that I need not fear that I have not earned my home-coming. I am particularly happy that my predecessor in office, Senator Paterson, Lakehead's first Chancellor, has come to this Convocation. He does me honour by his presence, and it gives me great pleasure to stand in the robes of office which he wore with dignity and grace in his years of service to this university. �Use evenes W88KI~ Association Wednesday June 9 of Municipal Electrical Utilities Conference (June 9-12) meeeings Wednesday June 16 Canadian Mathematical Congress Summer Meeting June 1 6 - 1 8. Administrative Staff Changes Dr. W. G. Tamblyn, President of the Universitr announced this week that structural changes in Administration have been implemented to improve the effectiveness of operations and planning capacity in the area of physical facilities. Mr. C. H. M . Smith, Chief of Physical Planninu and Construction, will now concentrate on problems associated with capital planning, construction, alteratioris and space allocation and utiliza tion and will retain responsibility for th: mechanical and electrical aspects of plant opera tions. Mr. J. E. (Ted) Broughton, formerly Administrative Officer in the Physical Plant department wi ': become Director of Physical Services. In thi.; position he will be responsible for housekeeping, security, groundskeeping and general maintenance. He will also assume responsibility for the supervision of conferences, tours and room bookings for non-academic purposes. The Personnel Department was also re-located last week in Room UC2002 (formerly Mr. Lawranee's Office) and Mr. Grant Thain of the OCE has located in the office formerly occupied by Personnel. All phone numbers remain as they appear in the University directory. Campus Notes Dr. J. P. Ryder of the Biology Department received an award from the Edward's Paper Award Committee. The Committee selected his paper 'A Possible Factor in the Evolution of Clutch Size in Ross' Goose' as the second best paper published in the Wilson Bulletin (Vol. 82, 1970) a publication of the Wilson Orthonological Society. The bulletin is published in the United States and has an international distribution. □ □ Eight faculty members of the School of Nursing participated in a conference "collaboration for constructive change" for faculty of University schools of Nursing co-sponsored by the Ontario Region, Canadian Conference of University Schools of Nursing and the Registered Nurses Association of Ontario at Barrie, Ontario, April 22-25th. The many resource speakers initiated considerable discussion of the changing role of the baccalaureate nurse today, particularly emphasizing the opportunities for extending her role. Mrs. D. Syposz was a member of the planning committee for this conference. □ Six faculty members attended the Registered Nurses Association of Ontario Annual meeting in Toronto, Ontario, April 28th-May 14th. Miss Laura Butler, a lecturer in the School of Nursing, Lakehead University, presided over many of the sessions as President of the R.N.A.O. 1969-71. Concurrent sessions were held on various topics such as "Nursing in the Far North", "Legislation, and Nurses", and "The Chemorphilic Society". Hon. A. B. R. Lawrence was keynote speaker at the Saturday luncheon.

REGISTRATION �Education Research Grants The Ontario Department of Education is implement· ing a new program of Grants-in-Aid of Educational Research and Development during 1971-72. The grants are intended to assist projects which are relevant to the problems of education and the needs of the students of Ontario. Grants wi 11 be approved for projects to be conduct• ed during the periods: (a) 1st January, 1972 to 30th June, 1972 (b) 1st January, 1972 to 30th April, 1973 The project description should indicate the length of time required to complete the study. Copies of the pamphlet entitled Grants-in-Aid of Educational Research and Oeveloprrent, 1971-72. are available through the office of Dr. R. A. Ross, Dean of Science. Twenty copies of each application must be received before October '29th, 1971 by: The Secretary, Grants-in-Aid of Educational Research and Development, Ontario Department of of Education. Mowat Block, Queen's Park, Toronto 182. (Telephone 365-1145) Liberal Science Program Dr. R. A. Ross, Dean of the Faculty of Science at Lakehead University, is pleased to inform the returning student body about the new Liberal Science Program. According to Dr. Ross, the age of technology is placing new and changing demands upon those preparing to take part in its development . Politicians, economists, social scientists. administrators and educators increasingly require scientific training in order to make decisions based on specific scientific information The Libera I Science Program is designed to equip students to meet the demands of our rapidly evolving society by combining courses in both Science and Arts in their education. The aim of such a program is to introduce Arts students to general concepts in science rather than to train professional scientists. Students who enrol in the Liberal Science Program may specialize in any Arts subject. Those who have already completed the first year of the General Arts Program may transfer into the second year of the Liberal Science Program while still retaining credit for all courses completed. Although students entering the first year of the Program must be Grade 13 graduates, Science and Mathematics are not prerequisite. Requirements include a mature mind and a desire to better understand the role of science. Each student will select the courses for his program in personal consultation with a designated advisor. 111 this way he will be assured of a coherent progrt:.::;sion of course matter designed to suit his needs and preferences. A student wi II select 15 courses to be taken over a 3 year period in a program consisting of5 courses in each year. Permission of the Dean of Science will be necessary to choose more than 5 courses in a given year. Minimum course requirements are: a. Five courses from the Liberal Sciences b. Three courses from the Departments of: Biology Chemistry Geology Mathematics Physics Psychology c. Three courses from Social Sciences (except Psychology) and Humanities d. A student will select courses offered in the Arts and Science Faculties in order to complete 15 courses. A student may not select more than 7 first year courses. The following Liberal Science courses will be offered this year: L.S. 100 • Science and Man • Professor D. G. Hughes L.S. 102 • Natural Science -Professor T. Northcott L.S. 104 - The Physical Nature of the Earth• Or. J. S. Mothersill L.S. 105 - Contemporary Physical Thought - Dr. L. Hastings Courses to be added in subsequent academic terms include: L.S. 101 • Science in an Age of Machines L.S. 103 • Chemistry and Man L. S. 106 - Physics for Poets L.S. 107 - Mathematics - The Analytical Tool of Science L.S. 108 • Astronomy L.S. 109 - Problems in Pollution Anyone requiring further information about the pro· gram may contact: Dr. R.

He challenged the University to be more innovative and more creative in attracting the maximum number of students from Northwestern Ontario and outside the region as wel I. When pressed to make some suggestions, he said that he had many thoughts on the matter but preferred to leave programs and curricula to teachers and educational theorists. In reply to specific requests by the University, the Minister said that he was prepared to make recommendations to ''my col leagues on the Treasury Board" for special grants to help the University in this •'emer• gency" situation. However, he emphasized that he would oppose putting any University "on the dole forever ... The Minister expressed a feeling of concern about the formula system for financing University programs. At present, Government support is based on actual enrolments. In a year such as this, when many students have chosen to discontinue their studies, the universities, particularly smaller ones I ike Lak ehead, find themselves in serious trouble. Mr. White hopes to .vork something out whereby this kind of si tuation can be minimized in the future. VOLUME 4 NUMBER 10 DECEMBER 2, 1971 time-worn, predictable methods, rather than to try bold, new programs. However, after consulting with members of the Board of Governors, Senate, Faculty and Administration, as well as with some students, Mr. White praised the "searching review" of all activities at Lakehead University toward the ends of making post-secondary education more economical as we! I as more exciting. He praised the "fantastic strides" of the Uni varsity and the ci ty of Thunder Bay in the past six year~. and sensed in his audience of 300 " a burning desire to make this institution extra-ordinary." The Minister suggested working on specific specialties which would give Lakehead University an international reputation, He al so advocated bold, new approaches in extending the University to outlying areas even more than at present. On November 26, Lakehead University President, Dr. W. G. Tamblyn, announced that the University had been informed by the Provincial Government that some of the extra financial support which had been previously requested would be forthcoming. Although details of the extra grant were not yet available, Dr. Tamblyn was confident that these funds would enable the University to maintain its present program offerings. Canada: Three Cheersl At the same time, though, he praised the formula system in that it has kept political interference out of University affairs. And he feels that this positive situation should continue. On the weekend of December 10-11-12, members of the Committee for an Independent Canada will hold their first national convention in Thunder Bay. Confirmed participants include Walter Gordon, Farley Mowat, Eric Keirans, Max Saltzman and Jack McClelland. Chairman of the convention is Peter C. Newman, editor of Macleans. One faculty member referred to the Minister's twopronged request of increased efficiency and bold innovation as being contradictory. An institution which is asked to cut spending tends to fall back on Thunder Bay was chosen as the site of this premier conference because it is considered the hinge of Canada. And the nerve-centre of this exciting weekend wi II be Lakehead University. �Commission Reactivated Dr. N. Weir At recent meetings of Senate and Board of Governors, Dr. W. G.

G. Tamblyn - Although specific details are not yet available, the Government of Ontario has confirmed its willingness to provide the University with some additional funds in order to alleviate the impact of our enrolment shortfall. At the same time, the Minister of Colleges and Universities, the Honourable John White, has made it clear that the University, for its part, must make considerable economies and must develop innovative, attractive program offerings in order to retain and attract students. On the strength of the Government's preliminary indication of extra financial support, the University has been able to minimize the staff reductions required. With the exception of two probationary appointments, the reductions were confined to the non-renewal of a number of short-term appointments. Such appointments are normally made on a one-year basis in order to replace regular faculty members who are on temporary leave. Under our present circumstances. the teaching responsibi I ities of faculty members going on leave during 1972/73 shall be assumed by their departmental colleagues in order that our course offerings do not suffer. Difficult decisions have been necessary in order to reduce the operating costs of administrative and academic departments, without jeopardizing essential services and the teaching and research program of the University. This task has been made more difficult by the fact that provision had to be made for additional faculty for the fourth years of the Forestry and the Physi ca I and Hea I th Education degree programs, which will be offered for the first time in 1972/73. The University's next step must be to continue its review of the present course and program offerings, now without the counter-productive stresses of the financial emergency, with the explicit objective of qualitative, creative improvement. W. G. Tamblyn, President CUA Report On Tuesday, December 7, representatives of Lakehead University met with the Provincial Government's Committee on University Affairs to present the University's Annual Brief. This year's meeting was held at York University in Toronto. The two major topics for discussion during the meeting were the level of emerging support the University can expect to receive in view of the enrolment fluctuation experienced this year, and the proposal for a new conversion program in Engineering. On the first matter, the University received assurances that the extra emergent grant which the Provincial Government has indicated wi II be forthcoming for the current year was not simply an ad hoc arrangement. The Committee was confident that the policy on emergent grants would be revised so that the level of extra financial support in future years would reflect the actual enrolment situation. The Engineering proposal seemed to be well received by CUA. Members of the Committee asked many questions about the nature and purpose of the conversion program, the Ii kely enrolments to be expected, and the financial implications. The University's President, Dr. W. G. Tamblyn reminded the Committee that a small university which was required to reduce its expenditures could not be expected to launch innovative programs without special government support. Dr. D. T. Wright, Chairman of the Committee of University Affairs. agreed that a higher operating weight was probably required for this conversion program than was given to ordinary Engi nearing programs. During the discussion on enrolment projections, Dr. Wright recognized that CUA and the Provincial Government had some responsibi I ity to assist new and experimmtal programs such as this one by not allowing duplicate programs to develop elsewhere which would compete for the same students. For the second consecutive year, the University sought from CUA and the Government special funding for our Off-Campus Program. Due to financial considerations, off-campus courses currently require a minimum enrolment of approximately 15 students. Special funding would make it possible with as few as 8 students. The Chairman of CUA expressed the feeling that extra funds were surely in order for courses involving extra costs for travel, etc. The University al so requested that consideration be given to prov id- �ing special financial support for non-credit courses given in the region. At the present time the Province does not give any support for non-credit courses, even though such courses might be of greater benefit to some communities in Northwestern Ontario. Other items discussed at Tuesday's Meeting included: -the po_ssibil ity of receiving higher operating weights for students enrolled in technology programs, consistent with those given to similar programs in Colleges of Applied Arts and Technology; -the academic review of al I programs offered at Lakehead University which began this fall; -the enrolment shorfall experienced throughout the Provincial system this year and possible reasons for it; -the recognition that Lakehead University is a regional resource centre for all of Northwestern Ontario; -the possibility of attracting students from Southern Ontario to study in the North so that they might learn more about their province (on!:' suggestion was to arrange exchange programs with other Universities so that students could spend at least one year of their University career in the North); -and the possibi I ity of a music program in the near future to COIT1)Iement the work of the Lakehead Symphony Orchestra. Lakehead was the last of Ontario's fourteen provincially assisted universities to meet with the Committee on University Affairs this fall. The Committee will prepare its recorrrnendations to the Government early in the New Year. These in tum will be the basis for Government decisions to be announced at the time of the provincial budget in early spring. Christmas Notes eThis is the year's final edition of LU WEEK.

Lakehead University Overseas As a part of Summer Session 1971, two Lakehead University departments presented overseas courses. The Department of English offered three courses in England and the Department of Languages offered five French courses in Caen, France. Both of these programs ran concurrent with on-campus summer programs beginning July 1 and ending about August 16. There were a total of fourteen students enrolled in the English program. They left Thunder Bay airport on July 1 for London, England. The program was centred at The Shakespeare Institute in Stratford-upon-Avon which is affiliated with the University of Birmingham and at Corpus Christi College, Oxford University. The group spent two days touring historical points of interest in London. The three courses in this program were Shakespeare, Advanced Shakespeare and Modem Drama. These courses were offered at credit and honours credit levels and students could try one or two courses depending upon their ability and stamina. t The Department of English embarked on such a program hoping that it would allow students to broaden their horizons with respect to the subject matter they had chosen to pursue. This is, in fact, what happened. At the end of the summer the students referred to the program as an experience in learning which gave them new perspectives on true education. The students embarked on the program for the credits offered, but also because it provided the opportunity to learn through travel. The first part of the program was centred in Stratford, where the students stayed in private homes. This made them feel more a part of the learning which they were experiencing. The students attended plays presented at the RJyal Shakespeare Theatre and were able to meet and $)eak with the actors from the plays which they had watched. This immediate access to Shakespeare and his works made the courses seem enriched and alive according to the students. In Stratford, al 1 lectures were given at the Shakespeare Institute which offers one of the best reference I ibraries for Shakespeare and drama anywhere. After leaving Stratford, the group moved to Oxford where they were able to study with a group of students from the University of Calgary who were in Oxford on a similar program. In the lecture sessions at Corpus Christi College, Lakehead University students were exposed to professors from both Lakehead and Calgary. �Other guest lecturers were made available for the students throughout the program. These lecturers included personnel from the Royal Shakespeare Theatre, The University of Birmingham, The University of British Columbia and Oxford University. Student evaluations of the program, submitted after the students returned to Canada, revealed many constructive criticisms which the program director, Dr. George Merri II, Chairman of the Department of Eng1i sh at Lakehead University, says will be considered in the preparation of future overseas programs. These evaluations showed that the administrative details of the program were wel I executed by the Department of English and the Summer Session Office. l'Kftr--.....-! workshops, critical reports and midterm and final exams, in an effort to maintain the best possible academic nature in the courses. According to Dr, Merrill, examinations covered not only academic but also cultural and theatrical material, in keeping with the entire program. Finally, the students were given a week for free travel before the return to Canada. The students felt this gave them time to follow up on some activities and interests which previous courses had made impossible. The French courses, administered through the Department of Languages, sent a total of forty-five students to Caen, France, where they learned through an almost total immersion in the French language and cul tu re. Students in this program lived in private dwellings with French students who acted as constant tutors. They studied at the University of Caen under Lakehead University professors and they al so took lectures from the teaching staff of the University of Caen. On four of the seven v.eekends in France, the students took part in excursions throughout the French countryside around Caen. These tours provided 8111)18 insights into French culture, and were much 8PPreciated t,,, the students. Comments by the students in the Caen program with respect to the program's value ....ere not unlilce those accorded the English studies which took place in Stratford and Oxford. Kenn i h.-.or1h Castle With respect to the stay in England, the students appreciated fully the way in which the program proceeded. Side trips throughout the English countryside touched points such as Warwick Castle, Coventry Cathedral, Stonehenge, Bath and Ludlow. With respect to all such outings it is interesting to note that the students claimed that at no time did they feel like tourists. Rather, they felt that they were somehow meant to be there. A W The courses were strenuous, but the students who embarked on the program were prepared to work, and this attitude, coupled with the attitudes acquired overseas as a result of direct contact with the subject material, led to a high passing rate in all student courses. The program incorporated readings, practical Students in both programs, the staff that went to teach the courses, the program administrators and the Lakehead University Faculty of Arts all feel that the value of such a fonn of learning cannot be overemphasized. One of the students put the feelings of all into words when she wrote, "a learning experience of such a fine quality camot be translated into words." ltis with this spirit that the LakeheadUniversity Faculty of Arts hopes once again, next summer, to offer overseas programs in the best interests of all students in search of a better qua I ity education. Editor's Note: Responsibility for the above article rests entirely with the Faculty of Arts, the Department of English and the Department of Languages. �weeKlu evenes Friday December 10 Saturday December 11 Sunday December 19 -L.U.

Mr. Justice Lawrence T. Pennell, the new Chancellor of McMa st er University, during his address at Autumn Convocation on Friday evening, November 19. "Our society has been carried forward by a faithful adherence to the principle we describe in the oversimplified phrase, 'Government by laws and not by men'", said Chancellor Pennel I. "However, we must never forget that it is implicit in this philosophy that the discontented have a duty as wel I as a right to voice openly their dissatisfaction, and the contented have an obligation to tolerate and answer opposition. "But something has happened and something is happening to our society. We are, for the moment at least, in a period of agitation and criticism of our democratic institutions. We must not corrplacently assume that the storm of protest is wholly without cause or provocation. Nor is it sufficient for us to merely denounce it. The most distinctive feature of a free society is the right to dissent, to protest, and to debate with one another in the search for better answers to better questions. Let us remember that democracy is something more than laws and a form of government - it is a great spirit. "Tolerance is the basic principle of a free society. To respond to protest and criticism gracefully, sincerely and respectfully • and at the same time to insist on due respect for your own corrpetence and interest• will not be easy. Sane and honest compromise is an indispensable instrument in the practice of a democracy. But there is no room for any form of lawlessness. "The task of bringing social cohesion and purpose into our society and providing enough for those who have too little wi II inevitably bring an increase in the functions and size of government. Those in authority must be constantly reminded that the whole purpose of government is to secure the freedom of the individual. Of what avail is freedom, if we do not live? If government is to express healthy public opinion, it is evident that it must be generated by a disciplined and informed public mind. You have welltrained minds not easily deceived by distortion of facts or stampeded by prejudices. To ignore your political duties is tantamount to an escape from freedom ... " Anybody Seen Mount Loo?

The Extension Program of Lakehead University reaches across Northwestern Ontario to bring twenty-four credit courses to the people of twenty-one different communities in fourteen separate teaching centres. Ken Morrison, Director of Extension and Summer Session, submits the following account of the University's attempts to extend itself even further. If you allow your eye to drift northwest from the Canadian Lakehead some four hundred miles, it will eventually focus oo a large lake, Big Trout Lake. This lake is called home by a community of some two thousand Indians, mostly on welfare. The wildlife, fishing and mining resources which once sustained these peoples have, in the main, been depleted. Along with the Indians are some thirty white adults teachers, nurses, Department of Transport weather· men, the Hudson's Bay manager and so on. For two years, 1970 and 1971, Lakehead Univeroffered a spring tenn course in Big Trout Lake. It was quite an experience. The foray into Big Trout was a response to two challenges. The first was a challenge for educational opportunity issued by 1he principal of the Big Trout Lake school. An extremely energetic man, he was flying down to Kenora at his own expense every second weekend to take one of our courses. If he could do that, why couldn't Lakehead University take a course to him and the dozen or so others who expressed an interest in enrolling? The other cha! I enge was the broader one presented by the extension division of the University of Minnesota just to the south. A full page advertisement in the Minnesota papers proclaimed on an outline map of the state that anyone within these boundaries is on the campus of the University of Minnesota. The claim was backed up by the information that there were some five hundred locations in the state at which one co1,1ld take University of Minnesota courses, including approximately one hundred and eightyfive within the metropolitan area of Minneapolis-St. Paul. This is a challenge to urban universities to go into the colllTlunity instead of having the community come to them. And it is a challenge to regional universities, like Lakehead, to find some imaginative way to extend their programs. Lakehead University already covers a campus almost as large as southern Ontario through weekend visits of instructors to every centre large enough to support a high school. Was further extension possible? Big Trout Lake presents fonnidable logi stic chal len- ges. It is beyond the northern limits of casual flying, and all planes in this zone must carry survival kits and emergency radio equipment. At the moment, only float and ski planes can be used to get in and out, which means that in spring and fall the community is cut off from the outside world for weeks at a time. {It need not be so pennanently. A landing strip is being built. But regional scuttlebut has it that ooe of the slowest contractors in the north got the job, and the site chosen was a bog. After three years' work one can hardly drive a truck down the main runway in mid-summer, and a Bristol freighter which tried to land a year ago ended up nose down on the side of the runway where it still stands, a silent tribute to our northern vision.) Oh yes, there is radio-telephone communication with the outside lt\Orld. Big Trout is listed in Bell's Northern Ontario directory; but try to get through. My batting average is about one in ten. I v.ould not want to get sick in Big Trout Lake. Investigation indicated that the duration of the University's Spring Tenn was the best time for a course in Big Trout, for both the weather and the universityeligible population seemed most stable during this period. The big problem was the spring break-up. Once in, the instructor was stuck there. And if the break-up came early, as it did in 1970, there could be great difficulty getting the instructor to Big Trout after his regular on-campus classes end. No amount of preparation could quite prepare us for the problems encountered in offering the course in such an isolated area. The prices - bread at 65 cents a loaf, milk at $1.00 a quart when you can get it, and the transportation! The scheduled flying service appears to treat its responsibilities most cavalierly. The first year the texts went out in advance as insurance and sat at Pickle Crow unti I the course was half over. In 1970 the "sked" was delayed while it rescued a survey party isolated by the early breakups, and then flew off witho.ut our instructor. Mail is erratic, to say the least. And finally, we had a few unusual student problems. What do you do when a student asks permission to write his final examination in jail, and then is released 100 early to write there, and too late to get home to write with the regu I ar group? There were tensions too, in the classes, the tensions which in· evitably appear in a tightly-knit, isolated community making a learning climate difficult to achieve. In sum, what are the lessons of the Big Trout Lake A W �t a • experima,t? On the positive side we served a community which previously had never been offered university programs exc~t through correspondence courses. Also, a few Indians, eligible to atterrpt a university course under Lakehead's adult admissions policies, and potentially able scholars, were given the opportunity to atterrpt a university course. One, at least, has come on to the carrpus full time as a result of this experia,ce. On the negative side, the program 'MlS extremely expensive and difficult to operate. Barring special subsidies, it is uni ikely to be repeated in the near future for financial reasons alone. The educational discontinuities in the native population and the transient nature of the white population precludes, at the moment, the creation of larger and more economically viable university classes. In addition, the living conditions of _most of the citizens ~f Big Trout Lake are not conducive to regular and serious study habits. In the long run, I have no doubt Lakehead University wi 11 return to Big Trout Lake. The efforts of other educational authorities are raising basic educational standards in these communities, and in time the demand for university courses will strengthen. Modern technology wi II eventually help solve the problems of introducing higher education in remote areas. Yes, and the air strip at Big Trout may one day be completed and that Bristol freighter salvaged or scrapped. But, for the moment, Big Trout Lake appears to be the point at which Lakehead University Extension becomes over-extended. Graduate Fellowships The Honourable John White, Minister of Colleges and Universities for Ontario, has announced that the Ontario Graduate Fellowship Program wi 11 be continued in 1972-73. This will provide an opportunity for those studying the whole question of graduate supPort to complete their deliberations and to prepare appropriate recommendations. The tenns and conditions under which these awards wi II be given in 1972-73 will be essentially the same as in 1971-72, pending a complete review, and on the understanding that a major change in graduate student support may be anticipated by 1973. The number of awards to be granted in 1972-73 will be determined at a later date when more detai Is are known of the total requirements of the universities of Ontario and the arrount of financial supPort which the Government can provide. It is understood, however, that the total amount of money to be expended for this purpose will not exceed that granted in 1971-72, namely $3.2 million. Student Placement Notes eToe Government of Canada is accepting applications for career-oriented jobs unti I January 27. Students in degree or diploma programs are invited to apply.

Budgets for the current year, particularly those of ~e support services departments, were carefully reviewed and pared. After the most comprehensive review of academic departments undertaken to date at the University, a number of decisions were taken which were designed to bring next year's expenditures into line with both academic objectives and estimated revenues. These included changes in the procedures affecting sabbatical leave, so that the appointment of replacements for those going on leave in 1972/73 would be an exception rather than a rule, the non-renewal of a number of one-year tenn appointments (of the 19 tenn appointments which were not renewed, 13 had been specifically appointed as replacements for permanent faculty now on teave but expected to return in 1972/ 73), and the reduction of 21 staff members (between June 30, 1971, and December 31, 1971) in the support services departments. Restrictions on "travel al lowances, supplies, and other items of expenditure were also introduced. Then, in early December, the University wits infonned by the Minister of Colleges and Universities that an increased extra-formula grant would be forthcoming for the current year. The combination of reduced expenditures and the extraordinary grant would appear to enable the development of the University to proceed without the prospect of a deficit for 1972/73." ~ tudents should take careful note of the fact that acuity and staff reductions wi II not affect current rograms. Nobody's chances of proceeding toward he degree of his choice have been jeopardized in ny way by the measures described above. Search Committee VOLUME 4 NUMBER 13 JANUARY 27, 1972 ( 1) that endorsement of a new president should require at least a 2/3 majority of Senate; and (2) that the Search Committee be empowered to co-opt another student member with full voting rights on the Committee.

Baumann representing the Alumni Association; appointed by Senate - Dr. R. A. Ross, Professor I. Hannaford and two of either Dr. D. Orr, Dr. G. K. Fleming, or Dr. H. S. Braun; and Marya Zajac representing the student body. COU Brief To CUA On Tuesday, December 14, 1971, the Council of Ontario Universities presented a brief entitled "Graduate Enrolments in Relation to Requirements for Academic Staff in Ontario Universities" to the Ontario Committee on University Affairs. Continuing questions and concerns raised about the steady expans~on of various graduate programs, the numbers and influence of non-Canadian university teachers, and the alleged "overproduction" of graduate degrees in Canada prompted the assemblage of this brief. More recently, the Ontario Government's c_u~ac~ in numbers of graduate fellowships and lim1tat1ons on the penni ssible amount of earnings for graduate students appears to have contributed to a dampening of enrolment growth. Th~ COU ~rief ur?.es that any surplus which may now exist be viewed not as a surplus in the real sense but a reservoir of talent which should be allocated to the many probl~ms a public policy nature facing our Canadian society. Any overreaction to "alarmist" reports might intensify normal imbalances between supply and demand of highly qualified manpower, and upset the market which al ready appears to be operating in the direction of reduced intake of Ph D seekers. Ontario universities at present ~ave an ~d~u~te supply of junior Canadian staff in most d1 sc 1phnes, but have found a serious shortage of experienced senior Canadian academics for teaching, research and administrative positions especially in the social and health sciences. ' ~! At the January 12 meeting of the Senate of Lakehead Concerning the employment of students awarded University, proposals for a Presidential Search ComPhD's in 1970-71 in Canada, figures are supplied in mittee were accepted in principle by Senate. Among the brief for students graduating in humanities recommendations for changes in tenns of reference soc_ ial sci_ences_ (excluding education), phys·ica'I membership and procedures of the Search Committe~ were the following: sc~ences (including mathematics), engineering, life - - -- - - - - ~ - - -- -- - - -- - - - -- ..:s~c~1en ~ c:: es, and health sciences. In most cases, the �student was interviewed when he submitted his thesis. At that time only 6% of those graduating had not already obtained employment; that figure would now be lower. The brief asks: What of the future, and of responses to the general belief that there is an over-production problem? One danger is a drop in new enrolments {not just a drop in the rate of growth, but an actual decrease in numbers). followed in a year or two by a belief that jobs are [Ping to be easy to find again. with a resultant increase in enrolment - in short, a periodic fluctuation possibly involving increasing extremes. The most disturbing thing is that in Ontario, presumably in part due to students' perceptions of the economic situation, and in part due to the drastic cut in various forms of student support, it is clear that the master's enrolment in 1971-72 is less than in 1970-71 in every field except the Medical Sciences. ... Careful analysis of where these decreases occur, and a knowledge that the full impact of the support reduction is not yet apparent since it does not apply to students "in course", lead to the conclusion that the PhD intake in these subjects will be down very markedly for 1972-73 unless there is a carefully devised student support program. Wil I iston Report On the evening of February 4th, 1972 at 8 p.m., Walter B. Wi 11 i ston, author of "Present Arrangements for the Care and Supervision of Mentally Retarded Persons in Ontario", wi II speak to the pub! ic at Twin haven School, concerning the "Blueprint" for the future of the retarded. This controversial report, prepared at the behest of the Minister of Health, The Honourable A. B. R. Lawrence, has stirred considerable controversy .!2ll-Jb.e subj~t of mental retardation at all levels of Government and aT the resource level in the community. The recent announcement by the Honourable Thomas L. Wells, Minister of Social and Family Services, concerning financial arrangements for a revolutionary New Day Care Cmtre in Thunder Bay, is one of the avenues of community development endorsed by "The Williston Report." Program For The Future More and more people today are concerned about environmental quality. They find they cannot swim or fish in rivers befouled by untreated sewage or industrial effluent. They see land eaten up by unsightly urban sprawl and garbage dumps; they breathe the fumes from factories and · cars; have their peace shattered by noise. And on weekends and holidays they pour out of the cities to get away from it all and often find they have exchanged one set of problems for another. The Canadian Council of Resource and Environment Ministers is an inter-governmental coordinating body which was set up Jointly by the federal and ten provincial governments, to promote the orderly management of Canada's renewable resources. The Council is sponsoring a series of local and regional conferences regarding Canada's environment, in order to ensure that its advice to governments is more a IIinclusive of personal concerns. If you are interested, as an individual or representative of a group, in taking part in the Man and Resources Conference program, please contact the Information Office ( Extension 300) or write directly to: J. L. Stichter, Ontario Committee, Man and Resources Conference, P. 0. Box 223, Queen's Park, Toronto 182, Ontario. Going To The Dogsl The University Committee would like to remind members of the University Community that it is a violation of health regulations to al low pets into campus b_uildings. It should be remembered that dogs, etc., are notyet committed to the "clean-up-the-environment" campaign, and consequently are liabte to bear witness to their sense of freedom from our society's restrictions in very inappropriate places. The Committee would also request everyone's cooperation in keeping their pets on a leash when on campus. Besides the nuisance of having to "tiptoe through the tulips (or snow)", doggie deposits are harmful to plants and shrubs. Notice Of Meeting Members and friends of the Thunder Bay Family Counsel! ing Agency are invited to the Third Annual Meeting, which will be held January 28, 1972, 8:00 p.m., at the Prince Arthur Hotel. Guest speaker will be Mr. John Brown of "Browndale International" (a chain of homes for the treatment of emotionally disturbed children). Mr. Brown is a somewhat controversial figure, and should prove to be a most stimulating speaker. �Campus Note Dr. G.

John White gave up the Department of Colleges and Universities to become Minister of Trade and Development as well as of Tourism and Information. George Kerr, former Minister of the Environment, took over the Colleges and Universities Portfolio. John White, as one of his final official acts as Minister of Colleges and Universities, announced that Dr. James G. Parr, Dean of Applied Science, University of Windsor, has been appointed Acting Chairman of the Committee on University Affairs. Dr. Parr replaces Dr. D. T. Wright who has resigned as Chairman of the Committee on University Affairs in view of his appointment as Deputy Secretary for Social Development Policy within the Government of Ontario. Dr. Parr, a member of the Committee on University Affairs for three years, has also served on committees on capital studies and on educational technology established jointly by the Committee on University Affairs and the Council of Ontario Universities. Dr. Parr served on the study group of the Science Counci I of Canada which produced Special Study No. 7 on the Role of the Federal Government in Support of Research in Canadian Universities (The Macdonald Report).

Dennis Cromarty, twenty-four-year-old native of Big Trout Lake, receives the University Award of the Federal Department of Indian Affairs and Northern Development from Mr. R. F. Brown, Vocational Counsellor for the local branch of the Department. The award, in the amount of $300, is made on the basis of academic achievement and personal qualities. Its purpose is to assist the recipient in his current studies. and also in the year to come. That suggests to me that our 20 CAATs are performing a significant service in terms of two important priorities in this province, and indeed in Canada the important priorities of giving young people the training they need to secure jobs in a difficult employment market, and of contributing toward the attainment of the outstanding potential we have for productivity growth in this province ... Mr. Cromarty is presently in his fourth year of Honours Economics at Lakehead University, and he hopes to enter law school this fall. I can tell you, from both my experience in Queen's Park and my previous service in education, that I am not enamoured by the traditional preoccupations with student-teacher ratios and other standards which appear to ignore many of the new developments now avai I able to education. I hope that our ingenuity can be directed primarily towards efficiency and performance in education ... As I indicated earlier, our current challenge is to contain our expenditures within the existing tax revenues, particularly since we are trying to encourage our economy to expand and provide more jobs for our unemployed. Also in the picture. at the left, is John Kerr. Dean of Students and administrator for scholarships and bursaries. Food For Thought Following are excerpts from comments delivered by the Honourable Charles McNaughton, Chairman of the Management Boflrd of the Ontario Cabinet, to the Board of Governors and Presidents, Ontario Colleges of Applied Arts W1d Technology, Skyline Hotel, Toronto, Mondav, February 14, 1972. ... I note, with some pleasure, that you have been receiving some good business press lately. The February 5 issue of the Financial Post suggests that you are wagging the universities' tails with the success you have had in preparing our young people for the I abour force. The Post article states that the graduates of community colleges in Ontario and other provinces are faring better in the employment market than university graduates with general degrees. The comments of Let me emphasize, then, that the current budgetary plan does not provide any significant increase in the share of the provincial tax pool that wi 11 be app I i ed to post- secondary education. Nor can we take funds from other public programs because, as you are aware, we are al so being asked to finance cost increases in medical services, in protecting the environment and in providing other essential public services. The request I must make of you, obviously, is to give the people of Ontario the utmost in economy and efficiency in delivering education services at your colleges. The challenge, as your previous minister stated so succinctly, is "more scholar per dollar". I do not think it would be appropriate for me to comment on education policy, particularly when we are studying and receiving comments on the Draft Report of the Commission on Post-Secondary Education, recently issued by Dr. Wright. However, I believe it is fair for me to suggest that the post-secondary community must consider the cost factors in its discussion on such questions as accessi bi I ity, scope, and curricula. Education, whether we like it or not, is involved in the political processes - it affects the taxpayers' take-home pay - and our investment in this service must come within the realm of public acceptance and support ... �.. : .';/;: .. -~ I, ' --~·~ 'Ii' ; .• .••• ·~}' ..-: •. I suggest to you, as an example, that we must ensure that the substantial investment made by Ontario taxpayers in plant and equipment is being utilized for productive courses of study - for education that will contribute to the economic and cultural well-being of our province. It may be difficult, for example, to justify even a few and isolated courses in such topics as witchcraft or flower arrangement, even though their marginal costs may be smal I. Obviously, if we fill our colleges with questionable courses, we wi II have pressures to extend the plant and equipment to provide facilities for cou;ses thcit are really WO rthwh i I e. The public, in my opinion, wi II not tolerate any wasteful competition with, or duplication of, the services provided by our universities. Nor will our people condone any blatant extravagance in attempting to attract enrolment or to inflate student popul ation figures ... I do not want b let my personal prejudices get out of _ hand on some of these subjects but I think it is realistic to expect greater pressure on all politicians, at whatever level of government, to ensure that the taxpayers' subsidy to education is truly justified. While we can, and wi 11, give leadership to what we call the "General Public", and can help to mould its priorities, there is no question in my mind that, at this stage, we run a great risk of developing further reaction against the high cost of education of recent years and that this might have tragic and farreaching results. Commission Hearings On Monday, March 6, the Ontario Commission on Post-Secondary Education holds hearings at Lakehead University. An ad hoc committee of Senate is currently preparing the University's reaction to the Draft Report which was recently made public. For History Teachers The History Teachers Association of Thunder Bay will be holding a professional development day at Lake head University on Friday, February 25. The general theme of the program wi 11 focus upon ways and means of adapting reconstruction for the teaching of history in the classroom. Mr. Peter Styrmo, Senior Museums Advisor for the Ontario Government, wi 11 address the teachers at 10:30 a.m. in the Board Room of the A~ma Mater Society. After a luncheon break, Mr. Sherman Perry, Superintendent of the Grand Portage National Monument, will speak on the use to be made of historical reconstruction such as that taking place in the Old Fort William project. Specifically, he wi II concentrate on "Objects as evidence in the teaching of history". The program will continue with a panel discussion involving Mr. Styrmo, Mr. Perry, and Mr. John Naprawa, Di rector of Operations for National Heritage. Regardless of the trend in courses or in the pol icy of admissions, I think it is incumbent on every admiriistrator to concern himself with the incidence and level of costs. I believe that, as trustees, we must strive for maximum utilization of J?lant and staff. Questions about the program should be directed to Mr. Dave Delgaty at Selkirk Collegiate, or at his home number 577-1538. As Chairman of Management Board, let me assure you, here and now, that we cannot and wi 11 not dictate to you how optimum utilization should be achieved. We can only review the broad priorities and try to achieve a productive balance in the overall investment of public dollars. We must rely upon your good judgement to use your al locations to best advantage. We appeal to you for your conscientious cooperation. On Saturday, February 12, at the Toronto Airport Hilton Hotel, the First Annual Reunion of Lakehead University Alumni from Toronto took place. Appeals Deadline The Office of the Dean of Students announces that the deadline date for reviews (appeals) of 1971-72 Ontario Student Awards Program appl ications is March 15, 1972. Toronto Alumni Reunion Peter Rusak, President of the Alumni Association; along with his wife and Dean of Students John W. Kerr, made the trip from Lakehead University to Toronto. The evening featured a gala dinner, and short talks by Dean Kerr and Mr. Rusak. Toronto Alumni were particularly happy with Mr. Rusak's slide presentation, which triggered many a nostalgic thought. Mr. Rusak reports that some forty-two Toronto Alumni supported the evening, and he was confident that �Following its highly successful debut in Normandy I ast sunmer, Lakehead University is returning to France from July 2 to August 15.

The range of activities is impressive and reflects the strong trend towards the application of geographic techniques and knowledge to current societal and ecosystemic problems. Symposia are being held on cultural discord in the modern world, the role of the city in the modernization of developing countries, and the problems of slow growth of stagnant areas within developed countries. Commissions meet to examine such areas as geographical data sensing and processing, high altitude geoecology, geomorphological survey and mapping, coastal and periglacial geomorphology, population geography, the regional aspects of economic development, medical geography, transport geography and agricultural typology, A large number of field excursions are now in the process of being finalized, offering a unique opportunity to cross and recross this land with specific study tasks. One trip carries delegates into the Arctic islands, another to the coast of Newfoundland. with every region between also represented. One excursion is planned to act as the tie between these others, a Trans Canada Excursion starting in two sections in Montreal on August 17th and 19th and arriving in Vancouver on September 1st and 3rd. At Lakehead, Dr, Phillips is coordinator of the arrangements for the journey between Marathon and Kenora. Each section will be of 90 persons in two coaches interconnected by radio and equipped with a variety of audio-visual devices. The party will stay overnight at Terrace Bay, visit the Kimberly-Clarke mill and continue to Thunder Bay where they will stay in Residence. Supper will be held at the Centennial Park Bushcamp and the following morning the party will tour the city and lunch at Kakabeka before pressing on to Kenora. A tourguide has already been written, and there is in preparation a large volume of material for in-bus commentary and question-times. One of the salient features wilt be the mixed nationalities of the parties, account having to be taken of special diets. as well as the more usual provision of facilities for postage, laundry and possible ill health. The Geography Department wi II be busy with these tasks, but at present a committee including several local high-school teachers is just commencing the detailed final planning. In August. Northwestern Ontariowill be on show to180professional geographers. What they see and do, and the impressions they gain, might affect their teaching of the geography of Canada in many countries for years to come. In August 1972, Canada hosts the 22nd International Geographical Congress in Montreal and concurrently with it the 6th International Cartographic Association Conference. At the last I.G.U. Congress in New Delhi, India in 1968, Canada won the honour of hosting the Un ion in 1972 by a small majority over the Soviet Union, and hence has been very busy for several years with the details of preparation. Senate Notes A conference of this size consists not only of a week The Senate met on the afternoon of February 24. Highlights of the meeting included the initiation, upon the �motion of the Dean of Arts, Professor Tim Ryan, of an ad hoc committee to investigate alleged admini strative difficulties in the Department of Languages. There was unanimous agreement that a parliamentarian should be elected or appointed to assist the Chairman on the interpretation of Senate regulations. Provision was made for a Faculty of Arts Council. The Presidential Search Committee reported that it was continuing to receive and review applications, but that no candidate would be recommended at that time. The Academic Staff Committee announced its dissolution in view of the fact that its purposes are handled more and more by ad hoc committees such as the Presidential Search Committee. Ontario university students, and to recommend to COU appropriate action. It is hoped that a combination of legal regulations and faculty vigilance will effectively discourage the expansion of the term paper business. Campus Notes eProfessor B. A-. Hodson will present a paper entitled "An approach to data processing using data specification strings "at the third annual forum on research in business at Queens University, March 24/25. The paper summarizes results of research undertaken in the past several years which could result in radical change in the field of data processing. Calendar dates for the coming year were presented and accepted, Voluminous recommendations of the Academic Planning Committee were endorsed; some, particularly the paring of Honours Spanish courses, met with considerable opposition. eDr. R. G. Rosehart and Professor D. Maclean of the School of Engineering presented a seminar on the "Thermal analysis of nuclear fuel with hydrogen cold sinks .. at the Atomic Energy of Canada Ltd., Whiteshell Research Station, Pinawa, Manitoba, on Friday, February 25. The ad hoc comrnittee investigating the Draft Report of the Ontario Commission on Post-Secondary Education, reported that it was particularly concerned about the implications of centralizing bureaucracy in Toronto. The committee was busy planning a list of questions to be presented at hearings on March 6 for the purpose of clarifying some apparent contradictions in the Draft Report. eToe Departments of Chemistry. Biology, Physics and Geology announce a lecture on "Some research problems at the quality water lab", which will be given by Or. John Teasley, Assistant Director of the United States Government's National Water Quality Laboratory, Duluth, Minnesota. The talk takes place on Tuesday, March 14, at 4:30 p.m. in Room MB-1031. The Senate regi stered its collective consternation at th e prospect of professional essay services supplying term papers to undergraduates. Ways and means of dealing with the situation were discussed at some length. Essay Services At its meeting on February 4, Council of Ontario Universities discussed the problem of commercial distribution and sale of term papers in Ontario. Euphemistically described as· student reference material·. these term papers have been circulated widely on American college campuses. Attempts are being made to expand the business into Canada with the help of Canadian entrepreneurs. While reco111izing that many Faculties, departments and individual teachers have developed methods of detecting plagiarism, COU decided to seek some legal opinion on the issue. The Counci I of Deans of Ontario Faculties of Law, an affiliate of COU. has been asked to consider the implications of business enterprises preparing or obtaining manuscripts analogous to term papers, essays, or theses for sale to eAt the invitation of the School of Forestry, Clifford E. Ahlgren, Director of the Ouetico-Superior Wilderness Research Centre and research associate with the College of Forestry, University of Minnesota, visited Lakehead University on Monday, March 6. In the afternoon, he lectured to degree and technology students on the grafting and breeding of five-needle pines for resistance to blister rust. And in the evening he presented a public lecture on the ecology of fire in the forest, and its use in prescribed burning. It was news to many that forest fires are beneficial in the regeneration of trees. Summer '72 Summer 72 is the Ontario Government's Special Summer Employment Program for students.

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

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