Fleming, announced Friday, October 29, 1971, that the Board hod received and accepted, with regret, the resignation of the University's President and ViceChancellor Dr. William G. Tamblyn. I Mr. Fleming explained that the reasons for Dr. Tomblyn's decision included his bellief that a periodic change in the leode~ Dr. w. G. Tamblyn ship of any institution was a sound practice, and his feeling that, after seven years of major development, he could no longer provide the energy that the position demanded. Mr. Fleming added that Dr. Tamblyn had informed the Executive Committee of the Board of his plans several months ago, at which time the Executive Committee had attempted unsuccessfully to persuade the President to reconsider. Mr. Fleming said that he was sure that he represented the opinion of the entire Boord when he drew attention to Dr. Tomblyn's exceptional qualities of leadership and to the way in which the President hos devoted himselftothedevelopment of Lokeheod University. With the guidance of its first President, the institution hos grown from a small College of Arts, Science and Technology with on enrolment of less than 500 students, to a flourishing University with an enrolment of 3,000 full-time students and another 3,000 students pursuing their studies on a part-time basis. Enrolment growth hos been matched by the development of new academic programs, at both the graduate and undergraduate levels, by the attraction of well - qualified teaching staff, which has grown from less than 50 to well over 200, and by the addition of major capital facilities valued atmore than $25 million. Dr. Tamblyn's role has been the major one in building a University to serve the needs of the people of Northwestern Ontario. Dr. Tamblyn's resignation will become effective in June, 1972, allowing time for the University to seek the most qualified replacement. VOLUME 4 NUMBER 8 NOVEMBER 4, 1971 Parking Regulations The following amendments to the University Parking Regulations were approved by the Board of Governors at its meeting on Friday, October 29, 1971: 1) The Department of Physical Services ore instructed to designate by number the parking area(s) and/or lot(s) corresponding to the types of permit as specified in Section 5.1 of the Traffic and Parking Regulations. 2. Multiple vehicle parking permits may be issued where necessary. 3. In Pa;king Lots # l ,2,3,4,5,6,7 and 8, a proper parking stall is defined as one in which on electrical outlet pole is immediately to the left or right - hand corner of the vehicle. In Parking lots #9 and 10, a proper parking stall is defined as one which is located so as not lo impede an orderly traffic flow. (To be added to Section 3.4 of the Regulations, immediately after the first sentence of that Section.) The third amendment was recommended to the Board of Governors by the Parking Appeals Committee. The Boord also accepted a second recommendation from the Appeals Committee slating that: "proper notice of changes to the Parking Regulations, as may from time-to-time be necessary, will be deemed to have been given to the University community by the following method: (a) publication inot least one issue of ARGUS; (b) publication in at least one issue of LU. WEEK; and (c) being clearly posted on the University bulletin boards for at least one week. All first year students who graduated from high school with an average of 80% or better this year ore eligible for Lokehead University Scholarships. These awards are now available in the Accounts Office, below the Agoro, (Fees Wicket UC0002). Further information can be obtained through the Office of the Deon of Students. Promotions Dr. W. J. Tamblyn, President of the University, has announced the promotion of two faculty members to the rank of Assistant Professor. They are Dr. Lorry Anderson of the Department of Psychology and Dr. B. Nkendi rim of the Department of Sociology. �.. - ·t . •••-,JI!•~ I . .,~tt• ~ 1 ), .fl . .:1 1 • ~..~ t. . -~ I,, ' ~ •• University Business EDITOR'S NOTE: The following summary of discussions at the last meetings of the Board of Governors and Senate is presented to clarify some of the misunderstanding concerning the University's current financial position. Lokeheod University has experienced a shortfall in expected enrolment this year of between three and four hundred full-time students, although the enrolment appears to be on o level with last year's registration. Under the formula financing system which is operative in Ontario, universities ore funded on the basis of the number of students who ore actually registered on December 1st. The consequence of the enrolment shortfall is on estimated reduction in revenue of $718,000 for the current fiscal year. A special Brief to the Deportment of Colleges and Universities requested thot the Government increase the amount of Lokeheod University's emergent grant (the extra-formula support given to the small developing universities in the province) to help off-set this estimated reduction in revenue. Representatives of the University met with the Deputy Minister and his advisors on October 18 in •order to present this Brief and its supporting arguments. Its main tenet is that the concept ofo fixed emergent grant is tenable only in o period of continuous enrolment growth. It is totally unreasonable when enrolments stabilize, even if only for one year. The concept of on emergent grant which is directly related to actual enrolments would provide the flexibility to respond intelligently to shifting patterns. Lokeheod University therefore strongly urged the Government to adopt the lotter concept and to provideemerging support r.:> this University which is adequate to meet the postsecondary educational requirements of Northwestern Ontario. In view of the foct that the Government hod not yet responded to this Brief, the Board of Governors, at its meeting of Friday, October 29, recommended that the Chairman, Mr. J.M. Fleming contact the Deportment of Colleges and Universities with a view to seeking an early decision. If the Government should respond in the most favorable manner to our request, the University will still have to reduce its expenditures over the next two years by more than $500,000. If the Government foils to respond to our situation, the extent of the required reductions will have to be for greater. To examine this and associated questions, the Senate Academic Planning Committee formed a subcommittee, composed of the Vice-President, two faculty members from each Faculty, and the Comptroller. The subcommittee was toreviewthe available information, statistics and projections, and make recommendations concerning possible economies which might be achieved. At its meeting of October 30, the Senate established this subcommittee as a Standing Committee of Senate, retaining the same membership. This Budget Committee is continuing its work. The Academic Planning Committee has also been meeting with each department and school in the University over the past two weeks. The purpose of these meetings is to review the educational goals and philosophies of all segments of the academic community, as well as their current programs and future plans. Landscape Development Although it appears that gophers hove been at work between the lake and the Centennial Building, such is not the case. Holes and mounds of dirt ore first evidence of the landscaping of that area, which will be completed next Spring. At that time shrubs, bushes and trees of up to eight feet in height will adorn the campus. The emphasis will be on plants native to Northern Ontario. This project will complete landscaping in the area mentioned above, as well as around the present entrance to the University off Oliver Road, and near the Power Plant. Tenders for the project ranged from $13,000 to$23,000, with theformerapplicotion being accepted by the University. Early Local History On Monday, November 8, at 8:00 p.m., the Lakehead University Women's Association will meet in the Faculty Lounge. Dr. M. Elizabeth Arthur, Chairman of the Department of History, will address the meeting on the topic of "Thunder Boy in The Late Nineteenth Century". �"Family Life" In Retrospect This past summer saw the completion of what has been lauded by many as one of the more successful and worthwhile programs ever offered at Lakehead University. The Family Life Program was made a reality through the continuing efforts of the Extension and Summer School office, the Lakehead University Faculty of Arts and particularly the Department of Psychology. The program, which was administered through the Department of Psychology, is recognized as two course credits by that department, and has been given similar status by a number of other Canadian Universities. A descriptive analysis of the students who enrolled in the program al so gives an indication of how great the respect accorded the program was. Of the 181 students enrolled, more than half had never been registered at Lakehead University in the past. Ninety percent of the total enrolment had come into the program as educators or prospective educators. These students included not only teachers, but also the administrators of our educational systems. These educators came to Thunder Bay from al I across Canada, realizing, as Lakehead University had, that Family Life and Sex Education is regarded as one of the more important and difficult subjects to teach because it focuses upon human values and opinions, rather than the mere presentation of factual material. The high value given the Lakehead University Family Life Program is further demonstrated by the fact that in the case of most of the teachers taking the course, their way was paid by their school boards. This further indicates the recognition by educators of the need to be concerned about human relationships, family stability and the alleviation of the negative attitudes toward sex prevalent in modern society. L, U. Media Services Centre The program directors designed the program to give it the highest standards possible, anticipating that a Family Life Program, if treated with the importance it deserves, could benefit the entire community and al so gain the University a reputation as a leader in this field. Such anticipation led the directors to assemble the most outstanding series of distinguished guest lecturers ever to speak at Lakehead University �on any topic. Perhaps, the finest and most impressive of al I the favourable comments and analyses accorded the program was that of the I ecturers, a 11 of whom vvere impressed by the program's theme and goals. Dr. Peter Bertocci of Boston University, who was one of the most distinguished and best received of al I the guest lecturers, was quoted, after his stay this summer, as saying "that there was no other such program comparable to Lakehead' s in al I of North America." This, the program administrators felt, was one of the finest comp I iments that could possibly have been given to the Family Life Program. Academically, it was an extremely demanding six week course. The program directors felt that if the program was to be successful it had to treat the compl ex subject at hand in such detai I as to refI ect its importance. Accordingly, all participants were required to attend all sessions regularly. Reports, essays, final exams, and a curriculum guide from teachers, were all made compulsory to assure success in the program. The reading for the course covered a wide range of topics related to Family Life and Sex Education, in considerable detail. Despite the challenging academic nature of the program, the passing rate was exceptional. This was the best indication possible that the participants in the program had been taken up by the spirit of the material and had put forth their best efforts to get from the course al I that it had to offer to them as students and educators. In short, the students were greatly motivated and took a sincere and mature approach to Family Life. For this reason, and because the program is counted asa dual credit in the Lakehead University Department of Psychology, the high academic standards wi 11 be even further strengthened in future programs. At the conclusion of the program, all of the students were required to complete an evaluation of the program. Students commented favourably on all aspects of the program including administration, material covered, readings, guest lecturers, discussion groups, student participation and even the social life associated with the summer. The results of this evaluation are to be used to the fullest extent possible in setting up future Family Life and Sex Education Programs. The majority of participants felt that they had dev- eloped, over the duration of the program, a more sound, balanced and mature view of human sexuality. They felt more aware of their own sexuality, a subject which many realized had been previously shrouded by various hang-ups al most entirely founded on historical factors. The students.having acquired new knowledge and attitudes, felt well prepared to go out into community educational institutions to promote some of what they had come to know. The students felt that perhaps now they could work together as educators of sexuality, an area where there had previously existed confusion centred around a lack of common definition of the goals of sex educators. This confusion stems from the constant changing of attitudes through the hi story of interpersonal relationships. The students felt that sex education could best be acco~lished through dialogue - discussion, criticism and deliberation. Dialogue means conversing openly, honestly and with purpose, sharing and growing, both on the part of students and teachers. It requires e~athy and acceptance. These they felt are the ideal conditions for the sharing of such knowledge as that imparted by the Family Life Program. The students who were able to benefit to this extent from the program attributed the program's success to the high calibre lecturers, to the fact that views were openly shared between peopleof different social, cultural, ethnic and religious backgrounds, and finally to the dedication of the administrators in al I areas of the program. The considerable effort v.tiich the Psychology Department put into making the program a success shows the high relative importance with which they intend to treat this program. Although this was the fourth summer during which the program has functioned, this year's was relatively a much greater success due to the close affiliation with the University. It is hoped by all those conc8fned that the spirit of the Family Life Program of summer 1971 wi II be maintained through subsequent summers; for it is this spirit which will be the main force behind modern society's acquisition of a realistic solution to the problems presented by modern family I ife, and modern sexuality. Editor's Note: Responsibility for this report on the Family Life Program rests with the Faculty of Arts and the Department of Psychology. �It Research Commission On January 18, 1971, the Association of Universities and Colleges of Canada approved the establishment of a Commission to examine certain aspects of university research in Canada and to propose means for the rationalisation of university research efforts. • • Dr. V. Paranjape, Chairman of the lakehead University Senate Research Committee, announced to Senate on Saturday, October 30, thatthis Commission will visitthe University on the 17th or 18th of November. Briefs which Dr. Paranjape has received to date recommend establishing a central body to review research grant applicants in a more efficient and equitable manner, and a centre of research at lakehead University, which would overcome problems relating to our remoteness from other Universities. Any member of the University community is requested to forward further briefs and suggestions to Dr. Paranjope, Chairman of the Deportmentof Physics.

She then returned to active duty as a Commander in the U.S. Navy Corps. As the first Navy Nurse assigned to N.A.T.O. at Izmir, Turkey, she received three official commendat1ous for "outstanding performances", one awarded by President C. Byer of Turkey. On the basis of figures compiled by the Association of Universities and Colleges of Canada from 50 universities and colleges, full-time enrolments for 197172 increased by 2% across Canada. This fal Is short of the 6% increase projected by the same group of institutions. Between 1956 and 1960, Dr. Hollld,iy studied and taught Social Psychology at Colu111l11a University, from which institution she earned hc>1 Ph.D. A regional breakdown of full-time enrolments shows the Atlantic provinces are up by 5% from last year, but below the projected increase of 6%. Quebec is 1% below last year's enrolment, but over its projected 4% decrease. (The information for Quebec is based on incomplete returns. Other sources indicate that actual 1971-72 enrolment may be somewhat higher than in 1970-71, and may confonn to the national average of a 2% increase.) Ontario is up 5% from 1970-71 although down from its projected increase. The western provinces show 99% of last year's enrolment, considerably below the 5% increase foreseen. Total part-time enrolment is up, although there are distinct differences between the regions. Ontario is the same as last year, the Atlantic and western provinces are up 4% and 6% respectively, while Quebec shows the highest increase ( 14%). Since the 50 institutions surveyed had 84% of the total full-time enrolment in 1970-71 (267, 490 of 316, 690). it seems I ikely that the percentages above reflect the present enrolment picture in Canadian higher education. From 1960 to 1966, she concentrated on important research pro1ects 111 Turkey, New York and Washington, D.C. Her research efforts in clinical nursing brought official accolades from tl1t' American Nurses Association, as well as inclus ion 111 Who's Who in American Education 111 1969.

She is widely published in international nursing and educa• tion Journals, and she has authored a book entitled Public Health Nursing for the Sick at Home: A Descriptive Study, New York. 1967. Lakehead University welcomes Dr. Holliday. • The Economics Department of lakehead University is pleased to announce the appointment of Dr. G. Tchibrikov from the U.S.S.R., to teach a course in Mar><ian Economics. The decision to offer this course was reached only after considerable debate and dis cuss ion established its relevance. • Dr. Jane Holliday, rec en ti y appointed Chairman of the School of Nursing, has enjoyed an extremely distinguished career as a nurse, administrator, educator and researcher. Dr. Tchibrikov, born in 1931, is married and has one one daughter. He joined the Economics Faculty of Moscow State University in 1949 and graduated in 1954. In 1964 he defended his thesis entitled "The Contradictions Among Monopot ies of the U.S. and Developing Countries on the Basis of Capital Export". Since 1961 he v.orked as a teacher in the Department of Political Economy of Moscow State University and since 1968 as a lecturer there. Dr. Tchibri kov, specializing in capital export, has publisht.>d 16 scientific works and for the past five years has studied the effect of the export of capital on the economy of developed capitalistic countries. She began as a United States Navy Nurse in 1943. After the Second World War she served as head nurse at a veterans· hospital until her return to full -time study in 1947. He will present a paper entitled "The Teaching of Economics and The Organization of Economics Departments in the U.S.S.R. ", on Thursday, November 18 , 1971. from 2:30 to 4:30 p.m. in Room L-4023. New Appointments �Women of Reconciliation Dr. A. Akram of the Psychology Department of Lakehead University has, over the past year, made use of $11,000 in grants from the Sisters of St. Joseph .of Sault Ste. Marie, to make analyses of their social structures. life style, ~ommitment and dress. He has recently been granted $15,000 to continue his research. This Congregation, extremely active in Northern Ont• ario, administers hospitals in Thunder Bay, Elliot Lake, Rainy River and Little Current, as wel I as numerous music conservatories and convents such as the Avila Centre, located near Lakehead University. Nuns' lives have become less cloistered as a result of the Roman Catholic Church becoming mofe aware of its social responsibilities in the early 1960's. Before that time, many convents had extremely rigid social structures which deeply affected I ife style and commitment. Their commitment was God-centred, and some of them experienced I ittle need for understanding social, legal and psychological questions pertai~ing to the "outside,. vvor1d. However, the Church 1s now emphasizing more than ever t-efore that the commitment of all its members should expand to include service to mankind as a whole. As a result, they must become more familiar with said questions in order to function in relation to society in general without undue stress. Many social changes have accompanied the Church's new approach. The most publicized has been the change in dress. In the Congregation studied, Dr. Akram discovered a very healthy attitude toward dress in relation to the sisters' life style. In order to facilitate their more active role· in the society outside their own community, the sisters organized workshops These groups. based upon the principles of collecti• vity and collegiality, enabled them to corre(ate new responsibilities. With respect to dress, a sister has freedom of choice, but only with the approval of the group. She is required to wear a habit unless she has wholesome reasons for breaking with tradition. For examp I e, a sister wi 11 be al lowed to wear con tempo rary dress to University classes if she argues sincerely that anonymity makes her feel more comfo_rtable in a learning situation. On the other hand, 1f her reason should in any sense conflict with her vows, approval will not be given. By analysing their life-style, Dr. Akram has helped the Sisters of St. Joseph to re-define their institution- al and personal commitment. This Congregation has always had two wel I-defined apostolates - education and health. They have provided necessary services in these areas for over a century, caring for the sick and the poor at a time when society was not fully aware of its responsibility to various segments of its members. However boards of education and hospital commissions ha~e arisen to take the load off their shoulders. This is another reason why the Sisters have found it necessary to re-define their role in serving mankind. They are now becoming concerned with the problems of the aged, who seem to be sadly neglected by social programs. They are even considering seeki_ng elected office on school boards and other social policy-making bodies in order to bring their unbiased pressure to bear on social action. However, this does not mean that the role of an individual Sister in a school or hospital has become redundant. Dr. Akram has suggested a renewed aposto• late for some members of the Congregation - that of a social conscience role, the catalyst of social action to cope with the problems and ills of modern day Canadian society. He suggests this will enable them to rise to the challenge of serving society as women of reconciliation. How Romantic Orchids? After a monocot flower has been po1 linated, the first product of fertilization is a single cell. This cell soon divides into 2, 4, 8, etc. and as hundreds of eel Is are formed they become organized into seeds as we know them. In orchids such development stops ata very early stage, the so-called seeds consisting of barely a hundred cells and showing none of the . differentiation mentioned above. They are essentially aborted seeds. Such ·seeds' are minute., with the consistency of a light. coarse powder. Yet, they have to develop to thousandfolds before they can produce plantlets capable of photosynthesising their own food. It is generally accepted by researchers in this field that the food reserves in the 'seeds' are too scanty to permit such development, and that the necessary nutrients are provided by symbiotic fungi. ,In nature, this situation must prevail for ten to twenty years (depending on the ppecies) before the orchid finally atains the flowering stage. Dr. G. Harvais, Biology Department has been studying orchid mycorrhiza ( root fungus) for over 10 years and is still attempting to find some answers to the innumerable questions which arise. �Senate Committee Associate Professor W.F.

It is therefore imperative to leave our native orchids untouched in nature unti I we know more about their life histories. A zealous but careless experimenter could destroy a species overnight. Nevertheless, many answers have been obtained, some indirectly by culturing the orchids (from seed) and the fungi together and separately in sterile cultures on a variety of defined media under control led conditions of temperature, i I lumination, etc. It is not possible, if we knew by what mechanisms orchids control and digest their fungi, that we could not only solve some problems of plant diseases but even turn a disease-causing fungus into a beneficial one?

With that disclaimer out of the way John White, Ontario's Minister of Colleges and Universities, began to list some of the things he feels are wrong with higher education in the province and how he would like them changed. He wants to see them more efficient ... "more scholar for the dollar" is the way he once put it, more teaching and less research-oriented, more egalitarian and less "aristocratic" and more willing to change. Though he doesn't issue direct orders to presidents at least one university administrator has summed up Mr. White's position as "he who pays the piper ... and calls the tune." He will pay - about $750-million for post•secondary education this year on behalf of Ontario taxpayers. And he calls the tune indirectly but strongly through such methods as interviews,public speeches and special reports. Last December the Lapp Report on engineering education in Ontario recommended wide changes, including the phasing out of some existing programs. In the latter half of next month the Commission on Post-Secondary Education in Ontario is expected to present a major report calling for wide changes in the university and college system. While these are not direct orders to the universities 11 there 1 s certainly a lot of moral suasion" Mr. White noted. In an interview this week Mr. White, 40, who was revenue minister from until this spring's Cabinet shuffle, maintained a hard line on university spending. 1968 Shortly after taking over the education post, he announced cuts in building and graduate studies budgets. This fall most of the province s universities and colleges got fewer students than expected and the universities alone stand to lose about $14 million in revenue expected from last spring's forecasts. 1 At least three of the newer and smaller universities have approached the Government asking for changes in grant structure, which is tied to actual enrolment this December 1. because they hired staff based on the inaccurate projections. I 1 m not prepared to accept responsibility for those miscalculations/' he stated. 11 The Minister said the Council of Ontario Universities which represents presidents and administrators, last spring forecast a shortage of 3,500 places for freshmen this fall. "We asked them to re-evaluate the first year capacity which they had available for students in this province," he said. (Recently Davidson Dunton, who was president of the Association of Universities and Colleges of Canada until last week and is president of Carleton University in Ottawa until he resigns next June, claimed the Government pressured Ontario universities to increase their forecasts and prepare for 3,500 more students than originally planned.) Department of Information Serv ices LAKEHEAD UNIVERSITY Postal Station 'P', Thunder Bay, Ontar io Phone 345-2121, Ext, JOO �- 2However 5,000 fewer students than planned actually did show up and universities are left with too many staff members for the grants they will get this year. "The first thing they have to do is cut their costs," Mr. White continued. "They have to attract more students to their institutions to get them up to a scale which is economical. "This cannot be done by people sitting around the boardroom wringing the1r hands. 11 Two of the small, new universities facing financial problems are Laurentian in Sudbury and Lakehead in Thunder Bay. Mr. White said there has been too great a flow of students from the north t<' Southern Ontario universities and too little reverse flow. He said it was up to the new institution to use some 11 pioneering talents" and bring in new courses to fulfil society's needs rather than trying to copy big, old universities. 1 will offend a lot of people if I use the word promotion but ... I think these emerging universities have to promote their wares to a much greater extent than they have." 11 Asked what will happen to the small universities such as Laurentian, which is expecting a deficit of more than $1-million, Mr. White said 11 it is their problem at the present time ... I suppose they do what any other organization does if income falls short of expenses ... they attempt to increase income and they attempt to decrease their expenses. 11 "We think the onus is on them to balance." Mr. White has no criticisms of the building boom era of the 1960s, but said that it is over and university leaders should turn their thoughts to the product rather than its housing. From his own experience in the University of Western Ontario, where he got a business diploma in 1947 and an £conomics MA in 1966, he had criticisms of the lack of change in 20 years. He said the teaching was the only thing that had not changed in London in that period. To get new thinking in universities he wants changes like the one at the University of Toront~,where next July l the old senate and board of governors will be scrapped for a 42-member governing council. The council will include eight students, 12 faculty members, women and 11outs i ders" who are supposed to breathe new ideas into the old institution. Mr. White, responsible for 14 provincially supported universities, Ryerson Polytechnical Institute, the Ontario College of Art and the 20 community colleges said his job is to 11 interpret society's wishes to ... administrators". There is a deep-seated feeling that a number at this juncture ... I think the criticism springs failures of the universities in the 1960s so much most of us have about the role of universities in 11 of changes are needed not so much from any as the puzzlement which the 1970s." "I don't see it as my function to say to the University of Toronto you must do thus and so ... I 1 m simply asking a number of questions in the hope of motivating the decision makers at that level to look at things afresh because the way we did it before isn't good enough now and the way somebody eise is doing it isn't good enough for us. 11 �' - 3 - Aside from calling for more efficiency he expressed these views: "I would like to see the universities somewhat more open ... I would like to see them very deliberately rid themselves of the correlation which is observable between the income and wealth holdings of parents and the probability of a student going to university. "The university cannot stand aloof from the community in a way that sometimes is observed at the present ... 1 don't want them to become quasicity halls. "There should be a definite effort made to make the universities more egalitarian. I am thinking of the elitism which I seem to sense by which a person having a particular title inherits a particular status ... and I think universities are one of the very few remaining sectors of the society where this old-fashioned elitism is to be found/' He praised moves by Waterloo University to open some of its buildings to the corrmunity and Western to establish a joint art museum with the city. On the rapidly expanding community college system, which was established six years ago from the old technical institutes, Mr. White said he would resist any effort to have them offer arts courses which would lead to university studies. He said experience in the United States showed in such cases "the colleges themselves just become very pale carbon copies of the universities." He also predicted more emphasis would be put on part-time and continuing education and indicated the post-secondary education commission report would probably have more to say on that subject. Asked about this fall's enrolment, which brought 6,000 fewer college and university students than expected, he had some theories. He said jobs are less related to degrees now and "it's becoming obvious having a piece of paper called a BA is no longer a means by which a person in the work force c3n automatically acquire a significant income differential ... and I think that lesson is being learned and I'm very glad it is being 1earned. 11 More people are also taking time off from studies to work and will study later. Others are just taking off for holidays in Europe. He said it might even be proof of the theory advanced a year ago by educator Ivan Illich that North American society would "de-school" itself radically in 18 months. Mr. White said one obvious need pointed out by recent trends and problems related to graduates getting work is the need for job forecasting. He has asked the government's Committee on University Affairs to look into the feasibility of job forecasting for the first time. Mr. White said it is a new field and fraught with peril but "the present system is the worst of all ... namely letting students find through casual, uninfonned gossip in the corridors whether chemistry graduates are more in demand than biology graduates." � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

[!]W88K a publication of the Lakehead University information office Chemistry Students Excel Dr. Robert A. Ross, Dean of the Faculty of Science, recently commented upon the progress of some of his post-graduate students . VOLUME 5 NUMBER 10 SEPTEMBER 14, 1972 Roger Glass, another student of Dr. Ross, has submitted his Ph.D. thesis to Queen's University, Belfast. Mr. Glass did his research on "Surface interactions of sulphur-containing gases on transition metal catalysts and catalyst supports". This study provides basic thermo-dynamic data necessary for an understanding of techniques that may be adapted to combat the pollution of air by sulphur gases. Mr. Glass has commenced employment with the Ontario Research Foundation, Sheridan Park, as a research surface chemist. Renowned Coach Don Talbot, world-renowned as the coach of more than 30 world record breakers has accepted a position on the Physical Education staff at Lakehead University. Talbot was Head Coach of the Australian Swimming squad at the recent Munich Olympics. Dr. Eugene McCaffrey Eugene Mccaffrey, pictured here at work in a Chemistry laboratory at Lakehead University, has just returned from presenting a paper at the Fifth I nternationa I Congress on Catalysis, held in Palm Beach, Florida. The paper, entitled "The influence of the mobility of oxygen in transition metal oxides on their selectivity in isopropyl alcohol decomposition" was co-authored by Dr. Ross and Dr. D. G. Klissurski. Dr. Ross praised McCaffrey·s work, considering the fact that of 250 papers submitted to the Congress. only 105 were accepted for presentation, and only two from Canada. Eugene Mccaffrey received his Ph.D. in Industrial Chemistry six weeks ago from Queen's University, Belfast, Ireland, upon completion of a thesis on "The catalytic decomposition of isopropyl alcohol on transition metal oxides and mixed oxides." During this research at Lakehead University, Dr. Mccaffrey established a relationship between the rate of oxidation of different oxide catalysts and the rate of catalytic decomposition of isopropyl alcohol. Such a relationship could be the basis for predicting the rate of catalysis in laboratory and industrial research. Dr. Mccaffrey has accepted employment as a research chemist with ~rnery Industries Canada, Ltd., in Toronto, where he wi II be engaged in nickel catalyst research. In making the announcement, Dr. Jim Widdop, Chairman of the B.P.H.E. program at Lakehead University stressed the fact that the news had been delayed at Talbot's request as he did not want his Olympic team to be adversely affected by his decision. Aged 38, Talbot, a former school teacher who started his coaching career at the age of 19 as assistant to the famous Frank Guthrie, leapt into prominence by tutoring the "wonder kids" Jon and Ilsa Konrads, who at one time held 8 world records each, all at distances from the 100rn up to the 1500m. Since that time, Talbot has produced a bevy of World and Olympic medal winners that resembles a "Who's who" in the swimming world. His proteges include: Neville Hayes, Kevin Berry, Bob Windle, Ian O'Brien, John and Karl Byrom, Mike Wenden, Brad Cooper, Graham Windeatt, Graham White, Jim Findlay, Gai I Neall, Kathy Wainwright, Linda McGi 11, Bev Whitfield, Karen Moras, Debbie Cain and Jan Murphy (who will be attending L.U. as a student this fall). Talbot who accurately predicted that virtually every World or Olympic record would be beaten in Munich compiled an impressive record as Australian National Team Coach: 1962 - Men's Coach - British Empire Garnes - Perth 1964 - Men's Coach - Tokyo Olympics 1966 - Men· s Coach - British Empire Garnes - Jamaica 1971 - Head Coach of team which beat U.S.A. at Crystal Pa lace - London 1972 - Head Coach - Munich Olympics An interesting aspect of the Munich Olympics is that almost half the Australian team were trained by Talbot himself. �Talbot's duties at Lakehead University will include working with Bonnie Benson- former Canadian 13reaststroke Champion: a) teaching all aspects of basic and competitive swimming to students enrolled in the B.P.H.E. program b) work towards the building up of a Varsity level squad - male & ferna le. In addition, it is anticipated that Talbot wi 11 be actively concerned with the proposed training program for the newly formed Thunder Bay Thunderbolts and will probably be in great demand to give coaching clinics both in Canada and the United States. En route to Thunder Bay, he will be stopping off in Montreal to lecture at the World Swimming Clinic being held there at the end of September. Campus Notes •Dr. George K.

The conference was conducted by Richard Wordsworth, greatgreat-grandson of the poet. CUGO Report Dr. Andrew D. Booth, President of Lakehead University, recently made the fol lowing announcement: "During the 1969/70 academic year the University established a tri-partite (Board, Senate, and A.M.S.) Commission on University Governmental Organization to examine the governmental structure of the institution and to report to the President its recommended changes thereto. The work of the Commission was interrupted by the activities of the Wright Cornrn iss ion in Northwestern Ontario, and was not reactivated unti I the autumn of 1971. The Commission has now completed its report and has submitted it to me. "The procedure which we propose to follow for dealing with the Report is to distribute it as widely as possible within the University, and then to have it discussed at a series of meetings during the next three-to-four months. The first meeting will occur in late September with all faculty invited to attend to discuss the Report and its recommendations with members of C.U.G.O. Later in the autumn, the Senate and the Board wi II meet to review the Report. I also understand that the A.M.S. will be holding one or more meetings to elicit student reaction to the Report." Copies of the CUGO Report will be mailed to all faculty and senior administrative staff. Students can pick up copies at the A.M.S. Office. Others may obtain copies at the Office of the President. Field Hockey All those interested in playing field hockey are invited to play on the University's field in front of the Fieldhouse every Thursday evening from 7:00 to 8:00 p.rn. �Parr On Open Concept Following is an excerpt from a speech delivered recently by Dr. J. Gordon Parr, CUA Chairman: The effects of an open university in Ontario would be comprehensive. They might be enormous. First, educational programs would be made available to all, regardless of geographic location. It's not even necessary to be in an area serviced by broadcast television, because video tape decks are becoming accessibly priced. (Of course, this does raise another sort of difficulty, because the responsibi I ity for delivery is put into the hands of the post-office - a matter which I mention in Ottawa with some apprehension). The microminiaturisation of printed material brings entire libraries into the home. Computers can be programmed to respond to individual questions. is in every respect a valuable one, and the Universities themselves have grown healthier for it . However it's continuation - certainly it's extension - would be fatiguing and debilitating. The supplement and enrichment implied by the open university concept would relieve the growing demands upon the resources of our existing universities; a clearer definition of their purpose would emerge and their particular activities about the pool of knowledge given new vigour. OSAP Reminder The deadline for full assistance under OSAP is September 30, 1972. Applications received after this date will be assessed for half the year's need. Parenthetically, I'd like to answer the critics who assert that these approaches dehumanize education and make it a mechanical affair. This simply need not be the case. Rather, the student is no longer restricted to the table d'hote menu, but may tackle the riches of the a la carte. And the staff, relieved from the tedium of repeatedly preparing the same fare have more time to respond to the individual client. I am reminded of Buckminster Fuller's paper, "Education Automation", and its telling subtitle, "Freeing the Scholar to return to his studies." Students twenty-four years of age prior to the first month of registration who have received a Statement of Award wi 11 be eligible to be reassessed under the new regulations pertaining to Group B students. Those students who were previously ineligible for assistance because of family income but who might now qua I ify under the revised age requirement should apply for OSAP as soon as possible. When educational programs are made available outside the bricks and mortar of traditional institutions, the age group of the student body spreads. When a candidate in a program is judged solely by his performance in the program, and is not made ineligible by earlier accidents of formal schooling, the spectrum of acceptable aptitudes is enlarged. Post-secondary education is no longer that activity which has to synchronize with Grade XIII; it is no longer that ob I igation which genera I ly runs down when the student reaches the age of twenty-five or thirty. Geographical Congress The important point is that the concept of an open university does much more than simp y resent the conventional university to a larger nu ber of young students: the nature of its approach to the ool of knowledge, the mode of its transportati1on system to the pool, open up additional areas of ~the pool, <and reveal them for exploration in a new perspective. What effect would an open university have upon the established institutions in the province? Many. I'll suggest only one, and this in relationsijip to the Universities. 1've already mentioned that the Universities are strained by being so many things to so many people. The exercise, in response to social needs, Further information and application forms are avai Iable from the DEAN STUDENTS' OFFICE. Dr. John B. Wise, Faculty of Education, attended the Twenty-second International Geographical Congress held in Montreal, August 9 - 17 and participated in the meetings of the Congress' (and U.N.E.S.C .O.'s) Commission on Geography in Education held in Quebec, August 1 - 9 under the chairmanship of Dr. Benoit Brouillette. Dr. Wise addressed the Commission and representatives from many countries on the topic of "Geography in the Secondary Grammar and Comprehensive Schools of England and Wales", ending wfth a1plea for geographers -and educators throughout ~ the world to take further no~e of the_cred_it_able position arid nature that the subJect has in British secondary schools. Dean Neville V. Scarfe, Dean of the Faculty of Education, University of British Columbia, and the first chairman of the Commission (1950-1956) was the other Canadian representative to address the Commission in English. The Commission, under its new chairman, Dr. Norman J. Graves, University of London, will probably meet two or three times in different continents before the T~nty-third International Geographical Congress that will be held in the U.S.S.R. in 1976. �weeKI~ evenes Benefit Dance for Hospital In Viet Friday September 15 Nam, Cafeteria, 9 p.m. Registration and counsel! ing for: Honors Bachelor of Commerce; business administration diploma; graduate diploma in business administration; diploma in library technology.

Dr. Griffith will also continue in his present position as co-editor, with Dr. William Eames, of the Ontario Mathematics Gazette (a journal emphasizing intercommunication between school teachers, schools, and universities through consideration of new teaching methods, ideas, and techniques). The Lakehead University Review presents articles written by the scholar for the genera I reader. It is an interdisciplinary journal of the arts and sciences with a special interest in Central Canadian studies. Subscriptions are$3.50 annually (two issues); single copies are available at $1.75. The editors welcome expressions of interest from any member of the university community engaged in or acquainted with research they feel would be of interest to readers of the review. In Memoriam A gentle reminder to those members of the University community who were perhaps off-campus over the summer months, and as a result were not aware of the TIM RYAN MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP FUND. L. U. Foresters With Specimen Bags Contributions should be made payable to Lakehead University and forwarded to the Secretary of the University, Lakehead University. The burr oak, usually a prairie species, can be found on some high ground where the Whitefish River meets the Kaministiquia River. Theory has it that this is a relictual species, which flourished on high ground in the post - Ice Age Lake Agassiz, which eventually drained to form the Great Lakes as we know them. Such species remain, even though climatic conditions are now more favourable for boreal species, such as spruce and poplar. The Lakehead Amateur Radio Club in conjunction with the student amateurs here at the University will be welcoming Mr. Noel B. Eaton, VE3CJ on October 3, 1972. By the same token, deep gorges, such as Ouimet Canyon, still contain tundra species which remain from the time when ice covered most of Northern Ontario. Mr. Eaton, Director of the Canadian Division of the American Radio Relay League, Inc., will be available in the Faculty Lounge from 7:30 p.m. for an informal get-together with local hams. Such nuggets of knowledge make this particular region an endless source of fascination for foresters and naturalists alike. And Lakehead University foresters are exposed to this wealth of information through compulsory field study which is conducted for two weeks prior to registration each fall. Those people interested in the new D.O.C. proposed regulations and problems arising from extended frequency coverage for the United States amateurs should take this opportunity to come out and ask questions.

Communications Seminar The School of Engineering, electronics section sponsored a seminar on high frequency communications which took place on Tuesday and Wednesday, September 26 and 27 at the University. Mr. E. D. Ducharme and Mrs. Joan Campbell of the Department of Communications, Ottawa, centred their approach around the predictabi I ity of broadcast conditions in the northern hemisphere. Such questions are increasingly important in northern regions due to an increasing pub I ic and private interest in high frequency broadcasting. Such an approach to communications is attractive to a region I ike Northwestern Ontario for a number of reasons. But, mainly, high frequency provides a relatively cheap means of establishing communication between and for isolated communities. During the seminar, students from both the University and Confederation College joined together with about thirty people working in the industry throughout Northwestern Ontario. •Professor G. R.

Morris ve Band; Mr. Gerald McKay, Lakehead University Indian student from Trout Lake; Mr. Andrew Lac Seul of the Youth and Recrea tion Branch of the Ontario Department of Northwestern Affairs; Miss Rosemary Moffitt, Executive Director of the Donner Foundation based in the University of Toronto; Mr. Robert Conley, representing Mrs. Yvonne Conley, Secretary-Treasurer, Ontario Metis and Non status Indian Association; Mrs. Les I ie Wuttunee, Guidance Counsellor, Ontario Indian Affairs; Mr. Xavier Michon, Director of the Thunder Bay Indian Friendship Centre, along with his assistant, Miss Mary Alice Smith. Discussion ranged widely and was exploratory in nature. It touched upon scholarship programs; up grading at the University to prepare native students for University studies; education as a tool and an enculturating factor; means of improving educational standards and motivation. It was unanimously agreed that Mr. J. Dymond, Director of the Transitional Year Program for disadvantaged students, be invited to Thunder Bay as soon as possible to lead discussions relating to the i:;ossibility of instituting a similar upgrading scheme at Lakehead University. VOLUME 5 NUM.BER 12 OCTOBER 13, 1972 Dr. Morris, who deserves credit for single-handedly bringing about this opportunity for co-operation be- · tween the University and the native peoples of the Thunder Bay area, announced that the committee be flexible in its constitution, inviting to its meetings those who are informed and concerned about different aspects of problems within its terms of reference. He also announced that Dr. A.A. Asimi was elected committee Chairman, as the representative of Lakehead University. And Mr. Andrew Lac Seul was ac claimed Secretary, as the representative of the native people of the region. International Recognition Lakehead University was the only smaller university in the world represented at a recent gathering of internationally recognized researchers in the field of geology. The University was represented by Dr. Henri Loubat, a member of the Department of Geology for the past five years who is dedicated to geological research in the region of Northwestern Ontario. His taking part in such an important international meeting indicates that even though Lakehead University is relatively young, it has professors who are being recognized throughout the world for their work. The Penrose Conference, held periodically by the Geological Society of America, took place in Oregon and California between September 14 and 25 this year. One of the most prestigious meetings for geologists throughout the world, the Penrose Conference usually focuses upon a narrow theme, and involves a smaller number of the world's leading specialists in that particular field. The purpose for this is to promote communications and co-operation between experts in the hope that new scientific discoveries wi 11 be ins pi red. A format of day excursions, coupled with informal talks and discussions in the evenings was chosen to that end. This year the Penrose Conference concentrated upon the nature and genesis of ophiolites. Dr. Loubat was invited as a consequence of his research on volcanic ophiolites in the French and Italian Alps, as well as his collaborations with the Canadian Oceanographic Institute during their study of rocks dredged from the Mid-Atlantic Ridge two summers ago. Ophiolites are a complex family of magmatic rocks originally formed at great depths in some ancient or recent oceanic areas. But why devote a major scientific meeting to a study of ophiolites? Actually, this family of rocks is one of the most fashionable areas of study for contemporary geologists because there is a feeling that ophiolites can give information about the way in which the �✓:-- J, • deepest zones of the earth's mantle were formed, as wel I as information relevant to major geological phenomena, such as continental drift, sea-floor spreading, and other important astronomical implications. Besides.as it was discussed at the Conference.many major economical deposits -are - tightly connected with the genesis of ophiol ites. One More Time, Maestrol The third new Minister of Colleges and Universities in thepast year under the administration of Premier William Davis was appointed on September 29, 1972. The Honourable Jack McNie, 52 years of age and the father of five teenage children, was first elected to the Ontario Legislature in October, 1971. His previous political involvement had been in various executive party posts at the campus, riding, provincial, and nationa I levels. The member for Hamilton West has been president of the firm of Russell T. Kelley (Advertising, Public Relations, Marketing Research) since 1946. His community involvement has included board memberships for the Hamilton Art Gallery, Hamilton Performing Arts Corporation, Royal Hamilton College of Music, Junior Achievement and Communications Advisory Board for Mohawk College. And he is past chairman of the Hamilton Theatre-Auditorium Co-ordinating Committee. He is also a member of the Hamilton Club, Chamber of Commerce, Canadian Club, Rotary Club, and the Hamelton Advertising and Sales Club. Dr. Loubat indicates an Eskimo soap stone carving. Soap stones represent a particularly interesting variety of ophiolites. Dr. Loubat is currently engaged in a very careful examination of ophiolites found in the Pre-Cambrian Shield. These rocks were formed eons ago when they were part of eventual volcanic ridges along the floor of a very old ocean. Dr. Loubat observes from the comparison of these Archean (ancient) ophiolites beside those currently being formed in the North Atlantic Ocean, that at some time in the distant past the earth could have been much hotter, and its crust very much thinner. This resulted in rocks being formed in much different ways from those now being formed. Such research may result in a clearer picture of the way in which the earth's crust evolved, The Penrose Conference involved not more than thirtyfive experts in ophiolites from the United States, Russia, France, Italy, Switzerland, Holland, Brazil, Venezuela,. Australia, and Tasmania. Dr. Loubat explained that the general feeling at the end of the Penrose meetings was one of enthusiasm and belief that new discoveries of great scientific impact would result from the fruitful exchange of ideas of some of the world's leading geologists. Mr. McNie is currently completing the B.A. Degree at McMaster University via extension courses. He has attained 16 of 17 credits to date. Under the Davis administration, Mr. McNie has served on the Social Development Standing Committee and the Select Committee Inquiring into the Uti lization of Educationa I Faci I ities. Geographical Activities The Department of Geography has three field excursions planned which are open to anyone wishing to take part and may well be of interest to many. October 9:30 to shore to and land 14 - Lake Superior shoreline excursion 5:00 p.m. A visit to the North Minnesota consider past and present shore processes forms. $3.00 October 20 and 21 - Air Familiarization Excursions In co-operation with the Thunder Bay Flying Club we have arranged for a series of one hour flights around a 90 mile circuit of Thunder Bay and Black Bay. Each will carry three persons and will be accompanied by a brief written guide. Cost $8.00 November - Minneapolis - weekend Urban Excursion in co-operation with the University of Minne, 1. It �is planned to examine the urban geography of central Minneapolis. This excursion is in preparation. Approximate cost $20.00 or less. Detai Is of these excursions and signing Ii sts wi II be found in the Geography Student Notice board in the corridor of Wing D, Main Building. The Student Geographical Society opens its activities with a lecture and social on Wednesday, October 11. Guest speaker will be Mr. K. Hearnden, Chairman of the Department of Forestry and Chairman of the Lakehead Conservation Authority. Everyone is cordially invited to attend. Campus Classroom The Faculty of Education at Lakehead University has developed a new tool for training teachers. It is referred to as "campus classroom" and it has been in operation since the opening of the Fall Term. "Campus classroom" is specially designed to al low teachers in training to observe actual teaching situations unfold before them. This is accomplished through a one-way viewing wall from an adjoining observation area which is also equipped to pick up every sound in the classroom. Although at first this may strike some as a frightening, Orwellian invasion of privacy and human dignity, in actual practice such is not the case. This program involves importing an entire class from a local school, and establishing it in the "campus classroom". Mrs. Loretta Margarit, a grade 4 teacher from Agnew H. Johnston primary school was the first to volunteer. She found that the class felt honoured and "special" to be chosen. The first few days were a total loss because the kids were excited about touring the University and playing tic-tac-toe with the computer. But it did not take long for them to adjust to a very fruitful month of learning. Not only did the student teachers find it a treat to be able to observe and listen in on a lesson in progress without interrupting it, but at least eight sets of parents of the twenty-eight children in Mrs. Margarit's class took advantage of the opportunity to see how their children were being taught. Expanding Services Local Secondary School principals gathered at Lakehead University on Thursday afternoon for the purpose of discussing liaison between the University and the high schools during the coming year. During the course of that meeting, Dr. Andrew D. Booth, President of Lakehead University, announced that the University is planning an expansion of its services to high school students. First, the Library is currently working out a 5¥stem. whereby all high school student!:: will bave ccm:mle.t.e library privileges. Secondly, Dr. Booth emphasized that gifted high school students would be allowed to enroll in University courses upon the recommendation of teachers and principals. Courses of this nature would be free of charge. And credits thus accumulated would count towards a student's degree or diploma. Prophets On Main Street The Prophets on Main Street is the provocative title of a lecture-discussion series jointly sponsored by the Thunder Bay Counci I of Clergy and Lakehead University Extension. Local clergy and university faculty will be discussion leaders with Reverend Gordon Daley i ntroduci ng the series on October 17 and Mr. Arnold Edinborough, distinguished Canadian editor and lecturer the special guest speaker at a public meeting on November 14. Classes will be held in Room 1024 of the Faculty of Education Building, Lakehead University. Registration will take place the night of the first class, October 17. L. U.

In the same grouping will be the University of British Columbia, the host team, the Universities of Alberta, Calgary and Victoria. In 1972, the Nor'Westers and Thunder Bay played host to a Hockey Canada event that fea tured the McMaster University Mauraunders, Bishop's University Gaiters and the University of Manitoba Bi sons. Coach Hank Akerval I said this week "This wi 11 be our first real venture into competition of this level in Canada. U.B.C., Alberta and Calgary are considered real powers with the C.I.A.U. Will we have the horses this early in the season, is my main concern. We'll just have to wait and see, but I will guarantee that we will surprise some people." 7 ..-• � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Booth of Lakehead University at Thunder Bay.Ontario, the heads of six institutions of higher learning formally ratified the Lake Superior Association of Colleges and Universities. The institutional heads attending the meeting were: President Booth of Lakehead University; President Robert Lovett of Mount Senario College in Ladysmith, Wisconsin; President Malcolm McLean of Northland College in Ashland, Wisconsin; President F. X. Shea of the College of St. Scholastica in Duluth, Minnesota; Provost Raymond W. Darland of the University of Minnesota, Duluth and Chancellor Karl W. Meyer of the University of Wisconsin-Superior. Other participants at the meeting were: Dr. W. D. R. Eldon; Dr. Charles Twining; Professor Douglas Lemons; Sister Mary Odile Cahoon; Dr. Robert L. Heller; Dr. David A. Vose, Dr. John Haugland. Collaboration among the six institutions, three private, three public, which are located in Wisconsin, Minnesota and the Province of Ontario, has existed for some time. Institutional heads have met during the past year on five different occasions and the action taken today comes as the culmination of an extended preparation. The resolution embodying the aims of the Association adopted by the six Presidents and Chancellors reads as follows: "The purpose of the Associatioo is to further the capabi I iti es of its member i nstitutions 'in meeting the regional, national and international needs for higher education and research through sharing and cooperative development of resources." The six institution;! executives wi 11 constitute the Board of Directors of the Lake Superior Association of Colleges and Universities. They agreed to a rotating chairmanship and elected President F. X. Shea of the College of St. Scholastica to fill this post initially. One of the first priorities for the new Association wi 11 be to seek the services of an Executive D irect9r who wi 11 implement a variety of cooperative ventures which the separate faculties will propose through the Steering Committee. "The fundamental idea is to create the intellectual excitement and the breadth of research services needed in the Lake Superior region," said President Shea in his announcement of the Association's inauguration. "None of us feel capable of serving these aims alone to the extept they deserve. In the present state of political and ,financial support for higher education cooperation becomes a necessity to OCTOBER 27, 1972 achieve the scope that our situation here in the Lake Superior region calls for. For this reason we are breaking new ground and we feel that the potential effects of this can be both large and long lasting." Achievement Recognized Harry D. Elmslie, associate professor in the School of Business Administration at Lakehead University, has returned from study leave at the University of Illinois in Urbana - Champaign. While on leave, Professor Elmslie completed the course work for a doctorate in accountancy ,achievinga grade poi nt average of 4.8 out of a possible 5.0. As a result of his academic performance, he was asked to join Beta Alpha Psi, the national scholastic honorary in accountancy in the United States, a body composed of the top ten percent of accountancy graduates in the counProfessor Elmslie try. Professor Elmslie joined the School of Business Administration in 1965 as its founding chairman. He holds an honours bachelor of arts degree in business administration from Waterloo Lutheran University, a master of business administration degree from York University and is a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Ontario. For Prospective M.D. 's Application packages for entrance to McMaster Medical School for the 1973 session are available in the Dean of Students Office. The McMaster Medical Team visited Lakehead University October 12. In case you missed that meeting, McMaster offers a special program, available to applicants with university degrees of good standing, and with persona I qua I ities required for the practice of General Medicine. Further information and application material can be obtained through the Office of the Dean of Students. Elected To Board On October 11, 1972, Mr. Donald Ayre, Secretary of Lakehead University, announced the result of the Senate election of a Senate representative to the Board of Governors. Dr. George K. Fleming, Chairman of the School of Engineering, was elected for a three-year term. �Philanthropist Recognized The founding Chancellor of Lakehead University was honoured recently at Carleton University in Ottawa. The fol lowing write-up appeared in the October 13 issue of This Week Times Two. "At a special luncheon on October 6, Senator Norman McLeod Paterson was honoured for his gift of $25,000 to the Institute of Soviet and East European Studies for student support. Each year for five years $5,000 will be available in fellowships for students working towards their master's degree in the Institute. Introducing Senator Paterson, Professor P. E. Uren, Director of the Institute, expressed Carleton's gratitude, noted the Senator's many other generosities to Carleton and also mentioned that "Senator Paterson probably lives closer to the Russians than any one else here; his garden backs on the Soviet Embassy." Senator Paterson, in his remarks, noted that he was "happy to be able to contribute to higher education now. I had little opportunity for such study when I was young." The Senator also entertained the luncheon with many stories including "The New Year's Eve the Soviet Embassy Burned Down." A prominent_Canapian industriali~t and businessman, Senator Paterson has a long connection with Carleton. He joi·ned Carleton's Board of Governor's in 1947 and served unti I 1968. A grant from Senator Paterson enabled the School of International Affairs to be established at Carleton in 1966. In 1957 he chaired the building and development campaign for Carleton and again served as honorary chairman of the Carleton University campaign for funds in 1965. Senator Paterson's own gift to the University helped to build the first arts building, Norman Paterson Hal I. In 1959 he received an honorary degree from Carleton." Campus Notes •Mr. J. H. Kelleher, Assistant Professor with the Faculty of Education has completed his oral examination at the University of North Dakota and will receive his PhD degree in Teacher Education on December 17, 1972. The topic of his thesis was "A Comparison of Three Groups of Elementary Teacher Trainees' Conceptual and Philosophical Orientations". •Mr. L. L. Korteweg, also an Assistant Professor with the Faculty of Education completed his oral examination towards a PhD degree in Educational Administration, University of Alberta. He will receive his PhD degree in November of this year. His thesis was entitled, "A Decade of Social Studies Curriculum Development in Alberta". •Walter Crowe of the School of Business Administration, was recently invited to address the Purchasing Management Association of Canada ( Northwestern Ontario District). His topic was: "A Method of Effective Vendor Rating", explaining how a systematic, scientific approach could improvethe relationship between the Materials Managerand the supplier. •Professor S. S. Kaplan of the Department of Political Studies has been invited to become a Fellow of the Inter-University Seminar on Armed Forces and Society. This exclusive group is composed of those with a specialized research interest in the relationship of the armed forces and society. •Dr. J. Donald Wilson of the Department of History has· been invited to read a paper at the Seventh Annual Northern Great Plains History Conference to be held this year at the University of Manitoba October 20 - 21. The paper is entitled "No blanket to be worn in school': Indian education in Upper Canada." Through this paper, Dr. Wilson attempts to show that the earliest methods of educating Indians in Canada were designed to deliberately suppress Indian culture and replace it with British and colonial outlooks and customs. Dr. Wi Ison wi 11 thus represent Canada in a session of the Conference entitled "The Education of lndi ans in North America". A professor from Georgetown University wi 11 represent the American point of view on the same topic. Extension News Residents of Kenora and Dryden, enrolled in the extension sections of Geography 3a6 being offered in those communities, travelled to Thunder Bay on two weekends during October to participate in intensive field studies in the city. Members of the Geography staff, Davies, Martin, and Batey, collaborated in introducing the students to basic elements of the urban environment not found in smaller communities. Three members of the Geography Department, Dr. Phillips, Dr. Davies, and Mr. Martin, attended a dinner given by the Northwestern Ontario Geography Teachers' Association. A lecture on the Canadian Arctic was delivered by Mr. Dan Langi I le, a geography graduate of Lakehead University, who served as an education officer for two years in the northern Yukon. �sion. In the afternoon they met in smaller disciplinegroups. Enrolment Picture Enrolment at Ontario's colleges of applied arts and technology is continuing to increase while university enrolment is levelling off, according to preliminary enrolment data released today by the Hon. Jack McNie, Minister of Colleges and Universities. Full-time post-secondary enrolment figures submitted by the 22 colleges totalled 39,914 an increase of 5,560 or just over 13% above last year's enrolment across the system. Full-time enrolment at Ontario's universities increased by a modest 1% across the system for a total of 133,853 compared with last year's 132,689. Undergraduate enrolment was up 1,722 and graduate enrolment down 559 according to the universities' October submissions. These totals include the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education an~ Ryerson Polytechnical Institute.

About thirty-five biology teachers of the Thunder Bay District used this first get together of the 197273 academic year to establish a plan for further meetings. They decided to meet at least two more times during the school year to listen to lectures from biologists. They are convinced that such meetings wi 11 broaden their interests in biology, and consequently that their students will profit. To initiate the lecture series, Dr. W. Graham of the Lakehead University Biology Department presented a lecture based on his research experiences and the biology lessons that grew out of this research. Opportunity was taken to confirm the mutual desire of the members of the Biology Department and of the high school teachers for a greater crossfertilization of ideas relating to their common field of teaching. Sister Faculties In co-operation with the Royal Commonwealth Society, Professor Lovekin who teaches History Methods in the Lakehead Faculty of Education has made a sister faculty arrangement with his counterpart, Professor Dilks in Leeds University, Great Britain. Professors Dilks and Lovekin are exchanging course outlines. guidlines by the Ministry of Education, bibliographies and in general are seeking to gain new insights into their training of History teachers from the vantage point of different perspectives. COU Exec's On July 1, 1972, a new Executive Committee of the Counci I of Ontario Universities assumed office. President D.

Booth, President of Lakehead University has appointed Dr. J. Donald Wilson of the Department of History as the University's representative responsible for liaison with the Commission on Canadian Studies, announced earlier this year under the Chairmanship of T.H.B. Symons, former President of Trent University . .On June 28, 1972. Louis-Philippe Bonneau, President of the Association of Universities and Colleges of Canada, commented that theCommission was prompted by a growing interest in Canadian studies at Canadian Universities. "The Commission is intended to assist the discussion and to further the development of studies related to Canada by providing accurate informaDr. J.D. Wi Ison tion about the present state of teaching ~nd research in this area, and by directing attention to the possibilities of and needs for new programs in the future." As the liaison representative for the Univer!:-ity. Dr. Wilson has recently completed a Commission questionnaire which outlines data relevant to Canadian course content and its accessibi I ity to students as wel I as faculty research interests relating to Canada.

These figures are based on 1971-72 enrolment statistics. It is likely that the Commission on Canadian Studies wil.l be on campus sometime during this academic year. Members of the University community who may be interested in presenting a brief to the Convnission, or who require further information about the Commission and its objectives, are requested to contact Dr. Wilson at Extension 342. �Committee's Significance Stressed In response to last issue's article relating to fledgling attempts to organize University and community machinery towards the improvement of the lot of native Cahadian people, Dr. William S. Morris requested that the fol lowing be printed, by way of clarification: "Thank you for your kind report on the Committee on Native Peoples in the last issue of L.U. WEEK. I am most grateful. However, the statement that I "deserve credit for single-handedly bringing about this opportunity" is factually inaccurate and evaluation•ally incorrect. From the first I sought and received cooperation from the leaders of the Native organizations, especially the Thunder Bay Friendship Centre and the Ontario MMis and Non-Status Indians Union. In convening the meeting I merely did my duty assigned to me by Senate. The meeting was, in fact, called by me on request of Miss Rosemary Moffitt, and the Indian members of it invited by her. Internally, I received full support from the late Dean Ryan, Vice-President Eldon, Dean Angus, Senate and many others. Without all of this cooperation, what is , at most, an extremely modest beginning in what I hope will grow as a genuine cooperative venture would not have been possible. Senate asked you to bring to pub I ic attention that the Committee would welcome any helpful suggestions from anyone, to make it an effective organ for the accomplishment of its purposes. This invitation is again hereby extended. I am primarily concerned not with my own personal embarassment over the error, but with the sensibilities of the Indian groups and individuals who should have been given the recognition due to them for their full cooperation, interest and initiative." Free Tuition For Dependents · Effective immediately, free tuition is available to the dependents of all ful I-time staff members of Lakehead University. This change in the regulations was announced recently by the president of Lakehead University, Dr. Andrew D. Booth. In the past, free tuition was I imited to ful 1-time staff members and to the dependents of senior staff members. The new regulations also provide for free tuition to be pro-rated for those whose probationary period terminates after the registration date . Further information on the new regulations can be obtained from the Office of the Comptroller. Wheel Blocks No Jokel The University community is reminded of the Traffic and Parking Regulation which states that fines shall be paid within 5 days of the date of the violation ' (Saturdays, Sundays and official University holidays • excluded\. Distinguished Lecturer Dr. Edward Mercy, Chairman of the Geology Department recently announced Or. Neil John McMillan of the Alberta Society of Petroleum Geologists as this year's Distinguished Lecturer. He is employed with the Aquitaine Company of Canada, Ltd., Calagary, Alberta. Or. McMillan delivered a public lecture on "Labrador Sea-Baffin Bay" on Tuesday evening, October 24. In his talk, Or. McMillan explained, in geological terms, why there is a good possibility that there are vast petroleum deposits in the Canadian northeast. The area under discussion approximates one-tenth of the area of Canada's mainland. And the geologic setting makes it a potentially significant frontier area for petroleum exploration.

The course consists of thirty audio-taped lectures which are prepared in Thunder Bay by Dr. Merri 11, then shipped to offcampus representatives in such centres as Beardmore, Jel I icoe, Dryden, Fort Frances, Kenora, Atikokan, Nipigon and Verm i 11 ion Bay. The tapes are then shared by students in the off-campus centres. Students are encouraged to hear and re-hear the taped lectures both inDr. G. Merrill dividually and in groups. So far, both Dr. Merrill and his students are happy with the approach. At least two difficulties have arisen, however. Radio Dryden, who are broadcasting Dr. Merrill's lectures, have filed a mild complaint regarding the lack of a time interval between the end of one lecture and the beginning of another. Besides suggesting that the disc jockey stay awake, Dr. Merri II proposes to add some Elizabethan music between I ectures. Another problem arose because Dr. Merri 11 tapes at home. Puzzled by a student's query "Do you have birds at the University?" Dr. Merrill listened to the tape in question and discovered that the culprit was his cuckoo clock. Personal contact between professor and students is accomplished in two ways: first, Dr. Merrill will make at least three trips to each centre throughout the academic year to meet with students and answer questions regarding the taped material; and second, a II groups wi 11 make the trip to the Lakehead University campus to take part in two weekend workshops during the year. The latter sessions wi 11 involve the use of films, slide presentations, and discussion. New Degree Program A recommendation by the Academic Planning Committee of Lakehead University was adopted in pri nc ip le by the Senate at its last meeting. It was agreed that the University will implement a degree program specifically designed for students interest- ed primarily in their own intellectual development as opposed to professional training. The proposed "general degree" program would consist of any 15 university-level courses to include a maximum of 7 first-year courses and a minimum of 2 third-year courses. The new degree would be administered through the Office of the Registrar, but course counsel I ing would be the responsibi I ity of al I academic departments. It was strongly emphasized at the Senate meeting that students enrolling in this program be advised that its pursuit would guarantee no specific preparation for a job, but that it had great possibilities for the pursuit of individual curiosity and personal development. Although the program was unanimously endorsed in principle, it was referred back to the Senate Academic Planning Committee for the proposal of a suitable name for the new degree. Convocation II The first Fall Convocation in the history of Lakehead will take place in the Agora beginning at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday, November 18, 1972. Some 220 graduands wi 11 receive their degrees and diP.lomas. The convocation address will be delivered by' John W. T. Spinks, CC, MBE, PhD, DSc, LLD, FRSC, President of the University of Saskatchewan. This Convocation will feature the installation of Dr. Andrew D. Booth as President of Lakehead University. Following Convocation ceremonies, the Ryan Building will be officially opened. Dedicating the new academic structure to the late Dean of Arts, Professor Tim Ryan, wi 11 be the President Emeritus of the University of Manitoba, Dr. Hugh Saunderson. A reception wi II follow in the Great Hal I. Effective Immediately Please be advised that students who are landed immigrants and whose year of residency is not completed until sometime during the academic year may apply for full assistance (up to $1400 Canada Student Loan) at any time up to four weeks prior to the academic year end.

' j' '., t·-· ~' •. major variable is taken into consideration. New Appointment E. J. Belton, Chief Librarian at Lakehead University, recently announced the appointment of Samuel 0. Alexander to the position of Reference and Public Services Librarian for the University. Mr. Alexander took a degree in hi story at Delhi University in his native India. After working with Esso India for five years in marketing management and sales, he emigrated to Canada in 1967, and is now a Canadian Mr. S. 0. Alexander citizen. While studying for his Master of Library Science degree at the University of Western Ontario, Mr. Alexander taught in the School of Library Science there. Upon graduation he took a position in the cataloguing department at the University of Waterloo. Mr. Alexander commented that Lakehead University has a sma Iler I ibrary than he has grown accustomed to, but that he welcomes the opportLJnity to get involved, particularly in the pub I ic relations function of his new position. He also indicated that he was glad to see the University Library opening its doors to the public, and especially to secondary school students. "A Note of Caution" Dr. K. Paul Satinder of the Department of Psychology at Lakehead University recently recounted professional activities in which he was engaged during the past summer. Dr. Satinder took part in the Twentieth International Congress of Psychology which was held in Tokyo, Japan, from August 13 to 19. At that meeting, he delivered a paper entitled "A note of caution in conducting research involving sex differences in behavior." In that paper, Dr. Satinder suggested that "numerous contradictory findings pertaining to sex differences in relation to various aspects of behavior" may be explained by the fact that psychologists, when testing behavior as related to sex differences, have ignored the influence of the menstrual cycle on the behavi9r of females. Tests conducted by Dr. Satinder in conjunction with L. Mastronardi at Lakehead University in the past year, have proved that changes in female behavior during the menstrual cycle are significant enough to render research on differences in behavior due to sex differences unreliable unless this Over 2,500 psychologists and psychiatrists converged upon Tokyo for the congress; 1,100 from the host country, about 800 from the United States; and the remainder from other countries.. Dr. Satinder was accompanied on the trip by his wife. They enjoyed the Tokyo area very much, were extremely impressed by the Japanese penchant for organization which was apparent everywhere, but found Japan more expensive for tourists than many other places they have visited throughout the world. The couple also enjoyed Honolulu, Hawaii on the occasion of the Eightieth Convention of the American Psychological Association, September 2 to 8. Dr. Satinder took part as a discussant i.n this convention mainly in his specialty of psycho-pharmacology. He and his wife were impressed by Hawaii as a beautiful, relaxing place with a pleasant combination of western and eastern cultures very comfortable for tourists, and much less expensive than Japan. PhD Pending Assistant Professor Tabib Tadros of the School of Business Administration spent the past summer at the University of Saskatchewan where he completed course work for the Ph.D. in psychology. His areas of interest include social and industrial psychology, as well as interpersonal relations. He had already finished, during a prior period of study, his course work for a Ph.D. in Accounting at the University of 111 inois. After passing his Ph.D. prel iminaryexaminations at Illinois, he worked on a thesis on the subject of" Accounting Planning Prof. T. Tadros and Budgeting." Why Fewer Students? Editor's Note: Following are excerpts from a speech delivered by the Honourable Jack McNie, Minister of Colleges and Universities, at a dinner marking_ the opening of the new Chemistry Building at the Umversity of Waterloo on Friday, October 27. It would be appropriate tonight to ask a few questions about current enrolment trends. What is happening to university enrolment anyhow? And why? Other questions flow from there. I am as eager as you to find the answers. All the furrowed brows are not in the academic community. What exactly is the situation at present? The prelim- �inary figures across the province show that the growth in university enrolment is about 1% over last year. This compares with an increase of nearly 6% over the previous year and 11 % and 14% in the years before. At several universities this year, there has been an actual decline in enrolment particularly in general arts and science and in graduate programs. It is significant that these declining enrolment trends are not confined to Ontario. They are widespread on this continent and beyond. This year, students dropping out left the universities about 5,000 below their projections,about 75% of the total provincial undergraduate enrolment shortfall. Freshmen entering from grade 13 account for only 25%. The results of the 1971 survey of drop01,1ts by the Ministry of Colleges and Universities were enlightening. They showed that the majority of these dropouts were successful students who left for primarily non-financial reasons and obtained steady employment within a short period of time. The significance of this has not escaped university planners.Programs and structures are under close review. The Ministry of Colleges and Universities plans to repeat the 1971 study of non-registrants. It wi 11 be interesting to see how it compares with the earlier study. Conversations I have had with students suggest that uncertain employment prospects for university graduates have been a prime factor in the levelling-off of enrolment. The high school student is asking "Why should I go on to university if I can't get a job when I graduate?" The university student is wondering whether he should return to complete his degree. Can he afford the time and the expense and the foregone earnings? The M.A. or PhD. candidate may ask himself "Where am I going when I finally finish my dissertation?" These are questions that affect people's lives and they are not easy questions to answer. We obviously need more in-depth research on the job prospects for university graduates. There can be little doubt that the shortage of work opportunities for Arts and Science graduates has made some students hesitant to take on increased loans which they could have difficulty repaying. Campus Notes •Professor Robert Di I ley of the Department of Geography will entertain the Geographical Society in the Aesthetics Lounge this evening, Thursday, November 9, 1972.

Discussion centered around curriculum, admission requirements, enrolment and laboratory equipment and collections. Mr. Scollie was elected to an ad-hoc committee of three to help set up the new association. Lakehead University and Loyola College (Montreal) are unique in being the only I ibrary technology programs offered in a university setting whereby students may obtain academic credits leading to an undergraduate degree. Professor Aedy, former associate editor of the Canadian Periodical Index and most recently chief librarian of Confederation College, joined the faculty in 1971. Mr. Scollie, a graduate of Queen's and Toronto, was librarian at Lakeview High School, Thunder Bay, until taking up his appointment in September. •Two members of the geography department, B. C.

A I ittle over a year ago, The Canadian Society for the Study of Higher Education was formed in Montreal. It grew out of the mutual need of people concerned with the lack of coherent information regarding current trends in college and university studies in Canada. This society is introducing a new publication entitled STOA. According to statements of editorial policy, "the journal is a scholarly publication intended to serve as a medium of communication among persons directly involved in higher education in Canada or deeply interested in this field . These include members of institutions of higher learning - faculty. students, administrators and trustees, and as wel I others in business and industry. " Anyone interested in subscribing. contributing material, or supporting STOA in any way, is asked to contact Malcolm G. Taylor.

At the first fall Convocation, some 220 graduands were awarded degrees and diplomas. The ceremony, held in the intimate academic atmosphere of the Agora, seemed to have just the right combination of pomp and informality to make it a memorable, human event. VOLUME 5 NUMBER 15 NOVEMBER 24, 1972 with change at Lakehead University and their understanding of change would likely serve them well in a world where change seems to be the most constant element. Directly upon completion of the conferring of degrees and diplomas, Convocation proceeded to the Tim Ryan Building, where the new academic structure was dedicated to the memory of the late Dean of Arts of Lakehead Universitr. Dr. Hugh H. Saunderson, President Emeritus o the University of Manitoba, and a former colleague, spoke of Tim Ryan's extraordinary committment to his career as an educator; but especially Dr. Saunderson emphasized Tim Ryan's personal qualities and his ability to turn the roughest times into happy ones. Mrs. Iris Torfason, speaking in behalf of family and friends of Tim Ryan, thanked the Board of Governors and the University at large for honouring the late Dean of Arts in this fashion ..She felt it particularly fitting that a building to be filled with groups studying in the humanities should bear the name of a man so full of faith in the goodness of man. Denis Ryan, brother of the late Dean, came all the way from Ireland to attend the ceremony. Even though his new mortarboard refused to stay put, Dr. Andrew D. Booth certainly filledtheblueand-white robes of the presidency in his inimitable style. In a brief inaugural address, he rapped the Ontario government and the mass media for contributing to public disenchantment with universities. He spoke optimistically, however, of the future of Lakehead University, considering the size of the region it must serve, and given its splendid facilities and excellent environment. In keeping with the fighting tone of his remarks Dr. Boot~ concluded by paraphrasing Shakespeare's Henry V before Agincourt: That he which hath no stomach to this fight, Let him depart; his passport shall be made, And crowns for convoy put into his purse; We would not fight in that man's company, That fears his fellowship to fight with us. The Convocation address{ delivered by Dr. John W. T. Spinks, President o the University of Saskatchewan, emphasized the importance of research for the development of a university as a whole, as well as for the development of a deep educational experience for all students at the university. Speaking directly to the graduating students, Dr. Spinks reminded them t~at their experience Dr. Booth attended to the introduction of Dr. Saunderson, Reverend John Kerr, Dean of Students, delivered the Invocation and the Benediction. And John Wright piped the procession and recession.

The Board of Governors, at its meeting of Friday, November 17, welcomed Dr. George Fleming as the newly-elected Senate representative on the Board. Dr. Fleming was also unanimously appointed as the faculty representative on the Executive Committee of the Board. Imitating an extremely successful experiment initiated by Honours Bachelor of Commerce grads last year1 this year's Forestry degree grads have compiled a brochure which consists of their pictures and curriculum vitae. This brochure will be sent to all prospective employers, who will then be invited to the campus to conduct interviews later in the school year. Mr. J. Murray Fleming and Mr. R. J.

Admission for these unique presentations is free. �CANDU Discussion Physics Professor, Dr. John Hart, who has been studying the Canadian energy scene, hos some disturbing statistics concerning the development of new sources of heat for Canadian homes. Dr. Hart believes that the Canadian nuclear power plant, CANDU, although rather expensive in terms of capital investment, is one of the most successful and safest in the world. He thinks its development hos been under-emphasized by the Canadian government, perhaps because its merits and the serious nature of the impending energy crisis have not really been understood. At the University's invitation, Mr. J. A. L. Robertson, who has prime responsibility for some of the most interesting aspects of the CANDU program, addressed faculty and students on this question on Friday, November 17.

From Monday, December 4 to Wednesday, December 6, Dr. Andrew D. Booth, president of Lakehead University, visited the northwestern Ontario communities of Kenora, Red Lake, Ear Falls and Dryden. He was full of anecdotes on his return, particularly concerning his reaction to the extreme cold. Not only did he have to replace his car battery (frozen solid), but he also had to endure a frigid night in a motel which had suffered a break-down of its heating unit. The hard-working Christmas Party Committee, consisting of Jean Helliwell, Marion Holch, Wilma Ayre, Anne Griffith, Marilyn Orr, Judy Merrill, Eula Botly, Carol Stolte, Anne Jones, Aline Bresele and Nancy MacGillvray have arranged the following program: Cocktails will be served commencing at 6:30 p.m. in the Main Cafeteria, followed by the annual smorgasbord supper served in the Residence Dining Room at 7:30 p.m. Entertainment throughout the evening will be provided by the music of Rocky Albertini. Tickets are still available at the University Switchboard or through the Geology Secretary, Jean Helliwell, Extension 461. All guests are we/come. Merry Christmas, everyone! Recent PhD Dr. Ronald G. McKechney of the School of Physical and Hetil~h'. :fducC'.ltion was recently presented with a PhD from the University of Minnesota. A Canadian citize.n; Dp.~ M<:Kech,0ey ~ompleted his underg radua,te work arSoskatchewan and Bemidji State Unive~s'ities before completing his M.A. in Physical Education at the University of Minnesota. • Dr. McKechney has a wide range of teaching experience: one year of elementary school, five years of high school in both Canada and the United States, as well as three years as an instructor at the University of Minnesota. During the past year Dr. R. G. McKechney he served as coordinator for student teaching in the Physical Education program at Minnesota. Since joining Lakehead University, Dr. McKechney has served as a coach for the University soccer team. He also coordinates track and field activities for all four years of the B.P.H.E. program in addition to teacfiing courses in the organization and administration of physical education and in athletic injuries. Dr. Booth vowed to take the Minister of Colleges and Universities on such a tour in order to convince him of some of the hardships involved in the University's extension services to northern communities. Minor inconveniences aside, Dr. Booth spoke of fruitful meetings with service clubs, off-campus university students and also high school students. The latter spoke in glowing terms of their recent visitation to the Lakehead University campus. Allin-all, the president seemed quite confident that he had both maintained and increased the good rapport which has existed between the University and the outlying region of Northwestern Ontario. Star Gazers Dr. John Griffith of the Department of Mathematical Sciences has reserved a room on the fifth floor of the Libr iry for a weekly astronomical observation night. In the Reading Room, located between Rooms 5034 and 5036, on Mondays from 7:30 to 11 :30 p.m., the general public and students are invited to make use of University telescopes from the Library balcony. Someone knowledgeable about astronomy will be present (on clear nights). I Children's Party A party for the children of University faculty, staff and friends will take place in the Main Cafeteria from 1:30 - 3:30 p.m. on Sunday, December 17. The cost to parents is 60¢ per child. Children up to 10 years of age are welcome. For further information contact Mr. J.H. Kelleher, Extension 711, or his wife at 577-1867. Rumor has it that Santa Claus will make an appearance, that is unless he oversleeps as a result of his busy department store schedule. �Ukrainian Club Notes The Lakehead University Ukrainian Club is sponsoring a lecture-discussion series on Ukrainian culture to take place some Tuesday and Friday evenings at 8:00 p.m. in Room 1022 of the Ryan Building.

The purpose of the Association is to further the capabilities of its member institutions in meeting the regional, national and international needs for high education and research through sharing and co-operative development of resources. A few arrangements have already been made regarding faculty exchange. Employment Notes Graduating students are reminded that the last date to apply for careers with the Civil Service Commission of Ontario is January 19, 1973. Any student interested in full- or parttime employment, permanent or summer, is urged to contact the Student Placement Office immediately. Language Note Julie Uhacz at Chris1mas Dinner, 1971 Committee Meets The steering committee of the Lake Superior Association of Colleges and Universities met recently in Duluth. It is the task of this committee to work out guidelines on financial arrangements within and among member institutions regarding exchanges of faculty and cultural events. This consortium of colleges and universities came into being on October 23, 1972 after better than a year of discussion among faculty, staff and presidents of the member institutions. Representing member institutions on the steering com- The committee oftheDictionnairedesJournalistes de Langue Francaise (1631-1789), has accepted an article written by Professor Alain Nabarro of the.Department of Languages, dealing with HenriJoseph Dulaurens, an eighteenth century philosopher. This biographical and bibliographical dictionary deals with French language newspapers and journals from the inception of the periodical press to the Revolution of 1789. The production of this dictionary is the responsibility ·o f a team of international specialists of eighteenth century French literature and thought, lead by Jean Sgard, Professor at the University of Grenoble and Jerome Vercruysse, Professor at the University of Bruxelles. Mr. Nabarro is presently preparing a second article on the French encyclopedist Cfiarles-Etienne Pes;elier, in collaboration with Marcel Gilot, Professor at the University of Grenoble. �CUA Meeting On Monday, December 11, representatives of Lakehead University met with the Committee on University Affairs at Queen's Park, Toronto, for the purpose of presenting the University's annual brief on current difficulties and future plans. Representing the Universit'i in its annual meeting with the Committee were Dr. A.D. Booth, President, Mr. G.H. Thompson, Comptroller, Dr. S. Magwood, Assistant Professor of Biology and member of the Senate Budget Committee, and Mr. B. Mason, Executive Assistant to the President. The University presented a strong argument for the revision of the current method of formula funding of Ontario universities, whereby the universities are only informed of their total revenue half-way through their fiscal year. In this connection, the University argued for the adoption of the "slip-year" method of funding (a system which would provide provincial grants for the current year on the basis of the previous year's enrolment) and for a change in the weighting structure of the formula which would provide more money per student in low-enrolment programs than in very large ones. Other financial matters discussed were thefutu re of emergent grants and the appropriate operating weight for students enrolled in the diploma program in Forest Technology. The University suggested that the very concept of emergence was probably no longer a valid one, in light of the apparent unlikelihood of the institutions concerned reaching economically-viable enrolments in the forseeable future. In view of this development, some other mechanism, such as the new formula suggested above which would allow higher weights for low-enrolment programs, should be adopted. Failing that, however, the University urged the Committee to recommend to the Government the adoption of an emergent grant policy which would be sensitive to actual enrolments, so that unexpected shortfalls in enrolment would not produce the immediate and drastic financial crisis experienced by a number of Ontario universities this year. The University also asked the Committee to approve an increase in the operating weight for Forest Technology diploma students. The University reported on developments during the past year in thE:. area of Continuing Education, including the extension of off-campus courses made possible by the new funding scheme worked out last year by the University and the Government. Items which appeared to interest members of the Committee included: recently restructured administrative and advisory units whose immediate task is to develop a multi-year plan of related course offerings for part-time students, the growing cooperation with Confederation College in the area of extension studies, and research on new ways to serve the people of Northwestern Ontario, including technological innovations and the introduction of short but intensive "burst" courses. The Committee showed particular interest in the University's plans to offer Arts and Science degrees in general studies and in the proposed Honours Bachelor of Science program in Medical Laboratory Science. Recognizing the desire of some students to design their own programs on the basis of personal interest, rather than following the more structured programs of the traditional major concentrations, the University Senate has recently approved the concept of general degree programs which could allow students to choose any available University course, unrestricted by formal prerequisites but with appropriate counselling. The Medical Laboratory Sciences rrogram proposal, which is the product of severe years of planning by University faculty and local medical staff, would be, if it receives approval of the CUA and the Government, a unique program in Canada. The aim of this joint University-hospital program is to enable the interested medical technologist to increase his theoretical and practical knowledge in the field of laboratory medicine, thereby fulfilling the demand for more highly qualified technologists and preparing students for further study at the graduate level. Finally, the University informed the Committee of its participation in the recently-established Lake Superior Association of Colleges and Universities. Building Boom Halted Editor's Note: In announcing to the Ontario Legislature the termination ofcapital assistance to the colleges and universities of Ontario on November 23, the Honourable Jack McNie, Minister of Colleges and Universities said: Despite the necessity for exercising constraints in post-secondary building programs at the present time, I would like to reaffirm the Government's commitments to its stated goals of providing post-secondary opportunities to all qualified students and of encouraging excellence in our college and university programs. This pause will provide the Government and the institutions with the opportunity to study current enrolment trends and to examine existing inventories of space with a view to more intensive utilization and generally to reconsidertheirplans for future development. In consultation with administrators, officials and advisory bodies, and with regard to the final Report of the Commission on Post-Secondary Education, the Government will seek to determine the bestpossibledirections of growth. �University In The '70's Editor's Note: Following are excerpts from a talk given by Dr. J. Gordon Parr, Chairman of the Committee on University Affairs, to a November meeting of Registrars of Ontario universities. At the top of the list of priorities, I have to put the universities' ability to transcend governmental (ressures, the temporal and expedient pleas o well-intentioned citizenry, the force of students and even - as necessary - the obstinacy of faculty. The universities whatever else they may not be - have to remain a clean touchstone of enquiry, a safe place of dissent. Even when funds dry uph students revolt, faculty strikes, buildings burn, t ere has to be a residuum, which contains the essence of the university. I'm afraid that this essential quality has been forgotten during the past decade of rapid enrolment growth1 of spiralling faculty appointments, of generous tunding and of the day-to-day crises associated with speedy expansion. The public may have overlooked this attribute this guarantee, vested in its universities. Possib(y, faculty need to be reminded of itfrom time totime.And perhaps those students, who would like to see a politicisation of university campuses, have to be told of the great loss that would accrue were the universities to redeem that supreme residual quality of independent question and dissent. I doubt, however, that it is a quality which - until too late - would persuade the man in the street to subscribe to a university fund-raising campaign. Hisgenerosityand generous he has been - is inspired rather by a hope of conformity than by the potential of a university's dissent in a time of oppression. Thus, the first influence, in my book, of universities upon society, is to inspire that sort of dissent which springs from enquiry, is tempered by respect for what one does not know, and is resolved by an appreciation of several sets of values. And how else may a university generate in society this sort of tolerance, than by the example of its faculty and its students? The second influence of the university upon society rests upon the sort of work done by its graduates. Here the originality and innovative qualities of the university are important. For if the graduate is a replicate casting of a professorial mould, little headway is made. Unfortunately, the teaching profession - at all levels - has an inbred ancestry that does not encourage viable mutations to the evolutionary design of the mould. And while the university has contributed integrity to the intellectual processes of its graduates, it might have done more to encourage originality. I'm afraid that the universities do nor sufficiently acknowledge the informal level of education that students gain through television, newspapers, a general reading, and through a restlessness that is associated with a quite new sort of understanding. The societal influence of the university through its graduates will be impeded if the university aces not accommodate these parameters: first, that Ph.D's must not be the only material for its faculty; second, thatthestudentsitadmitstofirst-year studies are educated in areas that lie outside the traditional university territory. (Remember the Renaissance? It was concerned with the spirit and the life of man. If the universities still have this splendid concern, they must recognize the influence of post-Renaissance media!) A third way - and in this talk, the final way - in which universities may influence society, is by their encouragement of part-time studies. There is no particular reason why a formal education has to be confined to a particular age-group. And the incidence of stop-outs, t~~ increasing enrolment of part-time students, the success of what are called "open universities" in several countries, the drive for human fulfillment in leisure hours, all point towards the need for more flexibility in programs of university studies. Of course, there are academics who insist that the nature ot a university program requires fulltime attendance on the campus for three years or for four years. While I respectthispointofview, I happen to think it is archaic. It issoarchaicthateven Plato talking with students that walked with him, would not have agreed with it. The universities have to accommodate all sorts of enrolment. And so-by the way does industry. It is time that industry - its owners and its employees - met with the universities, to define ways by which the universities might be opened up to a wider range of intellectually able students. Now to run into the last lap, what advice does one give to students. First, and most important, that it's their penny: they have been subjected by the time they consider enrolling at university to the publicity of college and university. (this is becoming a deplorable publicity, wFiich I hope the schools and their students will question).Students may not have talked easily with their parents; but they have chatted with many people. They have read; and they have bummed around. They know that your view and my view embrace the essential quality of learning, and of passing on what one knows; of question dissent, and trial. And, it may be, that in their own way, this generation of student is more discerning, more able to test a spectrum of possibilitieshthan was our generation. Don't knock them if t eir way happens to be a packsack and hitch-hiking; or going to work after grade XII; or stopping-out after second year; or trying to go it alone. The role of the university is to be there. To remain a sure defence against arbitrary measures; to be a place where question and dissent are encouraged. Tell your students that. But the universities do not guarantee a job. Tell your students that, too. The role of the universities in the 1970's is - as it has always been - to try to disseminate freely what is known, and to encourage the study of what is at the frontier. The va/ueofthe university lies - as it has always lain - in the intellect, ana the passions, of its community. �Award Announced Dr. R. A. Ross, Dean of Science at Lakehead University, recently announced that Mr. Kenneth P. Szarabura, a second-year student majoring in •:i:i,::,\h , ,~· ~:~l~JJJ h~d J_eep~ Bickell Foundation Scholarship. This award, in the amount of$1,500over a three - year period, was made on the basis of Mr. Sza rabu ra' s extremely high academic standing as a first year student at Lakehead last year. Kenneth Szarabura Forty-five people registered for the meeting and twenty-five papers were given (five invited, twenty contributed). While themeetingwassmall, there was plenty of time to tour the research facilities at the University of Manitoba and discuss projects of mutual interest with others in attendance. As a point of interest, the Lakehead University contingent presented the greatest number of papers, and was second in size to that of the host University. Exchange Initiated A Professor from Lakehead University will teach a three-creditcourseon "Governmentand Politics in Canada" as a development in the recent formation of Lake Superior Association of Colleges and Universities. Mr. Szarabura has not zeroed in on a specific occupational goal, but his current interests lie in the field of mineral exploration. Physics Symposium The first Western Canada Solid State Physics Symposium was held at the University of Manitoba in Winnipeg on November 24-25. It was organized under the auspices of the Canadian Association of Physicists with the objective of providing more contact among Western Canadian solid state physicists. Five members of the Lakehead University Physics group attended the symposium and gave talks. Professor V. V.

Library Notes eThe University Library is helping with two projects at present underway in the Thunder Bay community. The Thunder Bay Histcrical Society is seeking a Local Initiatives Program Grant to help with the recording and microfilming of the archival material in its possession. This is a useful supplement to the local material held by the University Library itself, and, once recorded, will be of great benefit to the community in general and to research workers at the University. We are therefore supporting the project and will provide whatever assistance and advice we can to enable the best use to be made _o f the help that a Local Initiatives Program Grant would produce. eThe municipality is also microfilming its own records, and the Library is cooperating in this venture by making its microfilm camera available, at a modest charge, at times when it is not required for Library purposes. eThe Library has a new display in the Catalogue Hall display cases, of works on various world religions and religious art. This will be retained until the end of December. meeeings Friday Senate Committee on ContinuingStudieswill December 15 meet in the Little Dining Room at 4:30 p.m. Friday January 5 Senate Meeting, 9:30 a.m., Senate Chamber Scuba Diving Course The Lakehead University Athletic Service Program will offer the National Association of Underwater Instructors Scuba Diving Course in the winter Service Program.

Austerity Reigns According to an article appearing in the Thunder Bay Chronicle-Journal on Wednesday, January 3, 1973, the University of Western Ontario has developed an austerity program to reduce expenses of $2 million from its $50 million budget R.A. Gonder, assitant director of operations and maintenance announced that the physical plant department developed the program to reduce heat "to the lower edge of the comfort zone", to cut back on maintenance and to lower lighting potential in classrooms and corridors. Snow removal in winter, and lawn maintenance in summer, will be reduced to the absolute minimum. Lights not necessary for study and classroom teaching will be turned off during the day, fixtures above basic needs will be disconnected, and random lightbulbs will be removed. Employment Of New PhD's Editor's Note: Following are excerpts from a release issued recently by the Canadian Association of Graduate Schools. There have been recent reports of current large scale unemployment of persons holding Ph.D. degrees, as well as forecasts suggesting future employment difficulties. These speculations are not substantiated by the actual experience of recent doctoral graduates. In 1969, the Ontario Council on Graduate Studies coif ected information about the first employment of all those who obtained Ph.D.'s in Ontario in the preceding five years. This information has been obtained each year since for each new Ph.D. and last year and this year was extended to cover all of Canm!a. In most universities, information was collected when the student handed in his thesis to the graduate school. At that time, ninety-six (96) percent of the Ph.D.\ had jobs. Of the remaining four 1;>ercent /shown as "unemployed" in the tables), some will since have obtained employment, some were not actively seeking employment, and some are no doubt unemployed. This is essentially nochangefrom lastyear. In 1970-71 there were 1446 Ph.D. graduates in Canada of whom 72 did not have jobs when the thesis was turned in; for 1971-72 the corresponding figures are 1446 and 53. It is important to ask what kind of jobs these new Ph.D.'s have taken. In summary, the pattern has shifted only slightly from the boom years of the late sixties. Most noticeable are decreases in university teaching and in industrial employment. In 1964-69, forty-eight percent had university teaching posts as their first employment; this yearthefigurewas thirty-eight percent. Industrial employment of Ph.D.'s has never been as important a factor as one might hope. In the sixties it accounted for thirteen percent of the graduates; last year this number fell to nine percent. Also stable is the fraction obtaining postdoctoral research fellowships. These postdoctoral research years are a normal part of the career pattern for those preparing for careers in university or government science. One quarter of the new Ph.D.'s are still following this route just as they did in the 60's. Series Announced "The History and Culture of the lndiansandMetis of Northwestern Ontario" is the topic of a nine week lecture series sponsored by Lakehead University Extension in co-operation with the Thunder Bay Indian Friendship Centre. Speakers are drawn from many walks of life and will be almost evenly divided between Indian and white communities. For further information please contact Mr. K.L. Morrison, Director of Extension, at 345-2121, Extension 210. Astronomical Globetrotter The five-hundredth anniversary of the birth of the celebrated scienti3t and philosopher Nicolaus Copernicus was commemorated by meetings in Washington D.C. of the American Association for the Advancement of Science December 27-29. A second commemoration will be special meetings of the International Astromonical Union in Poland in September 1973. Together wih the scientific sessions, visits will be made to Warsaw, Cracow, Torun and other locations connected with the life of Copernicus. Dr. J.S. Griffith recently received an expenses paid invitation to the Washington meeting. Unfortunately it arrived too late for satisfactory travel arrangements to be made; howeverduring the meetings in Poland, he will be reading a paper on necessary and sufficient conditions for escape, retention and capture in the n-body problem. On January 14 he will be in Houston for a three-day conference at NASA's Science Institute on Lunar Dynamical Studies. On the way back to Thunder Bay he will spend a day at the U.S. Naval Observatory. �Fellowships Continued The Honourable Jack Mc Nie, Minister of Colle_ges and Universities, announced today that the Ontario Graduate Fellowship Program will be continued for the 1973-74academicyear. Thefundingof the Program will remain at the current year's level of $3 million. The purpose of the present 0.G.F. Program is "to encourage dedicated, superior students to enrol in graduate programs in our universities and so be better able to contribute to the cultural, scientific and economic growth of Canada." The Fellowships are intended primarily for Canadian citizens who are residents of Ontario and will be awarded to both prospective and continuing graduate students. Up to l 0% of new applications at each university may be awarded landed immigrants. For fellowships tenable in the 1973-74 academic year, the deadline for submitting applications to university registrars or graduate schools is February 15, 1973. Application forms and folders giving details of the Program will be distributed early in January. Research Policy Proposals The report of the AUCC Commission on the Rationalization of University Research urges the universities to develop firm, coherent research policies singling out objectives, in the sense of broad ~reas of research where they would like to concentrate their main efforts, and elaborating programs within these broad areas. The universities should not set particular research projects within these areas and programs; the individual researcher should be free to make his own choice. The report emphasizes that the universities must set their research houses in order as a means of preserving their autonomy in the field of research and as a means of ensuring that the research activity they undertake fits reasonably well with their obligations to carry on effective undergraduate teaching and within the whole range of university purposes aside from research. The commissioners caution that no university can settle the matter of its objectives entirely on its own. There must be ongoing, inter-university consultation to coordinate the university research effort. The report emphasizes the distinction between frontier research and reflective inquiry. Frontier research is defined as exploration on the frontier of knowledge, looking for new facts, new phenomena. Reflective inquiry is essentially an intellectual activity which seeksthesignificanceoffacts and phenomena already discovered, and the relation of these to human interests or to a larger understanding of the world. The commissioners urge a division of labour along these lines in recognition of the fact that some people are good at one or the other, while only the very best are good at both. Ther believe frontier research is not always essentia to undergraduate teaching, that in fact, it is sometimes in conflict with this activity. However, reflective inquiry is vital for teaching at all levels. The commissioners believe a distinction between the two would result in an improvement in the quality of teaching, particularly at the undergraduate level. The commissioners say that teaching, and in particular undergraduate teaching, is the primary function of the university. Research could be done elsewhere but only the universities can transmit the knowledge and traditions inherited from the past. The report states tnat basic research can be done most effectively in the universities and that these institutions should devote theirprincipal research attention to this activity. However, they do not agree that applied research should betaken out of the universities; in fact there should probably be more of it." New Deputy Minister Premier William Davishasconfirmedtheappointment of Dr.J. Gordon Parr, Chairman of the Committee on University Affairs, as Deputy Minister of Colleges and Universities, to succeed Mr. H. Harold Walker, effective January l, 1973. Dr. Parr has served on the Committee on University Affairs for the past four years, becoming Chairman in January, 1971, when Dr. D. T. Wright the former Chairman, was appointed Deputy Provincial Secretary for Social Development. Formerly Dean of Applied Science and Professor of Engineering Materials atthe University of Windsor, Dr. Parr has spent twenty-four years in university teaching and research. He is author of a number of technical papers, a member of the editorial board of Science Forum, and a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada. He was an active particip-ant in the Science Council study group which produced the Macdonald Report on the Role of the Federal Government in Support of Research in Canadian Universities. Mr. H. Harold Walker, the present Deputy Minister indicated to the Government early in September his wish to retire from the Public Service of Ontario. His distinguished career in public life has extended over 38 years, beginning in 1934 with the Department of Municipal Affairs. From 1939 to 1953, Mr. Walker was on the staff of the Department of Education, interrupting hiscareerfor service in Europe with the Royal Canadian Artillery during the Second World War. In 1953, he transferred to the Treasury Departmentwherehe served with distinction in many senior positions, becoming Deputy Minister of Revenue in 1967. A Fellow of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Canada, Mr. Walker has been successively Secretary of the Treasury Board, Associate Deputy Treasurer, Deputy Minister of Revenue and from May, 1971 to the present, Deputy Minister of Colleges and Universities. �Lakehead University Athletic Department WINTER SERVICE PROGRAM 1973 The Lakehead University Winter Athletic Service Program will begin Monday, January 15, 1973.
