A \ \( Ll 'S l ' L- ~W88K a publication of the Lakehead University information office · Pool Opened On the afternoon of Friday, January 12, representatives of the Boards of Governors of Confederation College and Lokeheod University, local school boards, city council and other members of the community attended official opening ceremonies for the new Olympic-length swimming pool and ancillary facilities on campus. During brief remarks, R.J. Prettie, Chairman of the Boord for the University, Dr. H.S. Broun, Deon of University Schools, and Dr. A. D. Booth, University President all emphasized the importance of the new pool to the community. For the first time local and regional swimmers will have access to all levels of development in swimming from the youngest beginner to the aspiring international competitor. Guests of the University were treated to a demonstration of swimming exercises under the direction of Don Talbot, newswimmingdirectorotlokeheod and former coach of the Australian Olympic squad. New Pool in Action One of very few Olympic-length swimming pools in Canada, the new Lokeheod University facility is fifty metres in length and six lanes wide. It boosts a moveable bulkhead which makes it possible to divide the surface into two equal twentyfive metre facilities, thus providing flexibility. The pool istwelvefeetindepthotthedeepest end and three feet nine inches in depth at the other. It hos four diving boards, two otthreemetresondtwo at one metre. VOLUME 5 NUMBER 17 JANUARY 25. 1973 The pool is well-equipped for swimming competitions, accommodating up to 450 spectators in bench-style seating. An electronic scoreboard records the running time during races. Touch pods located at the finishing end of each lane record the finishing times of individual racers on a solid state timing-control console located in the adjoining pool office. Although it is the mostdramaticand perhaps most significant facility included in this second and final p'1ase in the construction of athletic facilities at Lakehead Universitr, the pool is by no means the only feature o this addition. Other areas include three classrooms, an auxiliary gymnasium for gymnastics and general use, a combatives room for wrestling, judo and the like, a weight-training room, · three squash courts convertible for hand-ball and paddle-ball, and a fully equipped exercise physiology laboratory, as well as expanded dressing room facilities including showers and saunas for men and women. Fee Protest On January 12, the Honourable JackMcNie, Minister of Colleges and Universities, stated that he had no quarrel with the universities issuing OSAP cheques to students participating in the fee protest provided the student is reminded of his contractual obligation to pay his full fees, the amount of which he was well aware of when he signed his agreement with OSAP, and that the university advises the Ministry of Colleges and Universities of those instanc.as where fees have not been paid in accordance with arrangements satisfactory to the university. Mr. McNie quoted the declaration signed by the student concerning his award: "I further agree that the first use of such proceeds will be to pay my academic fees ... " The Minister also cited a 1969 memorandu,;, sent to all universities: "Students are not to be issued the grant cheque, or any portion of the funds represented thereby, unless arrangements satisfactory to the institution have been made for the payment of outstanding fees." Since the universities are autonomous institutions, the Government is prepared to let them retain full responsibility for the collection of fees. However, Mr. Mc Nie did mention certain facts regarding fees and loan ceilings including thefollowing: -there will be no fee increases next year, the present increase is the first in eight years, 011d the new loan ceiling of $800 is more generous:thon in other rovinces. �Crux Of The Crisis? Editor's Note: Following are excerpts from a speech delivered rece,:itly by Professor Joseph Gold, Department of English, University of Waterloo. So depressed have we become about the I iteracy of today's youth, so far have we drifted from a dream about forming a linguistieolly sophisticated population by universal public education, that we daily encounter educated men and women, educator~ themselves indeed, who believe we can train students to perform an isolated language art, like writing engineering reports, without cluttering their minds with other language paraphanalia. But language is like nothing else - human beings cannot dabble in it. In the land of the blind the one-eyed man is King. In the world of language we have a moral imperative and a social compulsion to ask for nothing less than full vision. There is no short-cut to language mastery. There is only an absolute commitment on the part of a society and its educational system to the prorosition that language is primary and that it wil be given primacy in its list of priorities among subjects to be taught and learned. About a decade ago, in 1963, a movement or trend began to decentralize educational authority. First we had the Roberts plan, then we had the Hall-Dennis report. You will recognize this same past decade as the period of so-called liberalization in many areas; everyone, we were promised, was going to be free; students, teachers and subjects were "opened-up," as the phrase had it. In the process of this so-called liberalization, common objectives and standards were lost1 along with the Grade 13 examination which had made Ontario students and their skills a model for Canada, and now no one has any idea what they know and can do and what they can't. The word "English", used to describe a sub·lect of study, has been so twisted and beaten and a tered and perverted that it now means nothing and everything. It is now part of communications and no privileged part, either. Photography, plastic models, magazine collages, crayoning, current affairs, travel and politics, chats about home, .. school, friends, food, walks in the country- every~ thing is English. B_y this system it is possible to appear to teach English and end with students who cannot spell, read, sreak, write a sentence or have any awareness o their great literary or cultural heritage. Where a teacher chooses not to mark essays, uncompelled by any common test or goal, free to follow exclusively his or her own bent or taste or whim, students will not write and the number of literate people will decline. We cannot look to the universities for guidance. I have witnessed the frenzied flight from conviction in which English departments, fighting a rear guard action, were asked to prove why English, rather than Physics, Maths, Chemistrr. or any other subject, should be required of al, and this question was asked by those whose ears were already closed and whose minds were shut. Compulsion, examinations, requirements, standards all became bad words in the last decade and in this new set of taboos basic questions went unanswered and answers went unheard. In running to the mirage of an undefined oasis called freedom in education, we cast off some of the freedoms we forgot we carried with us, that had been so hardly earned for hundreds of years, freedoms of intellectual movement, freedom of choice to use what had been acquired through discipline. Every artist worthy of the name has said and will tell you that his freedom to make, to work, to alter, and to shape came through the rigorous discipline of learning, and the same is true of athletics, the crafts, business and technology and every other human endeavour. Language is powerful. It has changed our world. It has been instrumental in the rise of Western religions, capitalism, revolution, Marxism, Fascism and National ism. It is the first target of all Total itaria!'lism. Book-burning is the sine qua non of repression. Silence is the ruleoffear.Ademocratic population is characterized by sophisticated literacy; what is said depends on what we know will be heard. The political figure who manipulates language and weaves a net around us, imprisons us unless we have the antidote, a parallel mastery of his own tools. We must either be committed to increased literacy or slip back willy-nilly into a passive state of submission to those who will control our language. Language study and discipline is not like other subjects, which can be the plaything of fads and the victim of fashion in an education theory( without fundamentally affecting our persona and social well-being. It precedes all other studies, it is basic to our humanity and it is central to our discovery of the truth about our world and ourselves. From itwe make new worlds, describe new possibilities, shape the past and project the futu~e. Its disappearance as the heart of mass education will have a terrible revenge on us in the ironic form of undermining the very system, of which it was initially, the foundation, the keystone, and the proud pinnacle. �. ;!J,_.,\, • . ,' ' '. \ Paper Published The December issue of the Journal of Applied Mechanics - Transactions of the American Society • of Mechanical Engineers contains a paper entitled "Similaritr, Solution for the Curved Two Dimensional Jet' by Dr. George K. Fleming, Chairman of the School of Engineering with Dr. S. A. Alpay, Professor of Engineering, University of Waterloo. Britain In Common Market The British High Commissioner to Canada, Sir Peter Hayman, visited campus on Friday, January 12 and discussed Britain's entry into the European economic community after a decade of efforts frustrated principally by Charles De Gaulle. As a possible political advantage from the entrr, Hayman cited the 'United States of Europe" theory which holds that, to offset the United States and Soviet Union power blocs, a stronger Western Europe could provide an alternative voice in international affairs. Economically thetrade market created would Sir Peter Hayman be the most sophisticated in the world. Britain is strong enough to survive the pressures of the competition involved, according to the former commissioner. Hayman added that 2/3 of our commerce with Britain including wheat export will not be affected in a negative way. In fact, Britain with a strengthened economy would probably offer a wiaer market for Canadian goods.

Over the past several years, universities have become increasingly concerned with a trend toward unilateral governmental decision-making, which has frequently upset the planning processes in the universities. The brief argues that consultation through discussion in existing joint subcommittees on the issues of priority which it outlines is essential. The most pressing problem facing universities this year is having to budget expenditures without ~nowing what incomes will be until well into the fiscal year. In addition, this year's underenrolments are leading to budgetary deficits. mee~ings Friday February 9 The Senate Academic Planning Committee will meet at 2:30 p.m.,SenateChamber.

Dr. Hart points out that most politicians are ignorant of technical matters. In the past, this problem was glaringly apparent only during the accelerated pace of wartime technological development, but technical problems are now at least as acute as those faced during the two World Wars. Political systems are riddled with fact-finding and advisory commissions because the issues are too complex for politicians to sort out for themselves. On the other hand, scientists cannot be expected to be the saviours of humanity because they are often reluctant or incompetent to assume political power. There has also been a general disenchantment with the rational approach and with the kind of society made possible by science. Dr. Hart suggests that scientists may be unwilling to communicate the essence of theirdisciplinetothelayman. Some scientists are acquiring the appearance of a collective social conscience but often out of a sense of fashion rather than conviction. Such groups are often weak because of the difficulty of identifying their goals. Dr. Hart continues by saying that science students are often naive about theapplicationoftheirskills by society and lamentably defective in social awareness. He says, "The time is over-ripe for massive innovation, with the objective of giving them enough background to formulate a critical approach to the technical problems of society." This kind of attitude cannot be taught directly to children, but rather should be encouraged through appropriate changes in existing university courses and programs on all fronts. Knowledge must be imparted to both scientists and non-scientists in every conceivable aspect of the inter-action between science and society. High Energy Speaker O_n Friday, February 23, the Physics Department will host Mr. Edward P. Hincks, Principal Research Officer for the National Research Council, and Research Professor of Physics at Carleton University, Ottawa. Mr. Hincks, closely associated with the National Research Council, Carleton University, and Atomic Energy of Canada limited since 1941, must be considered one of the premier experts in high VOLUME 5 NUMBER 19 FEBRUARY 23, 1973 energy physics in the world today. At 3:00 p.m. on February 23, Mr. Hincks will address himself to the topic of "High energy physics: what is it? where is it going? what is happening in Canada?", in Room 1001 of the Main Building. Phys Ed Conference Representatives of the Ontario Ministry of Education, the Lakehead University Faculty of Education and School of Physical and Health Education as well as many interested citizens in Thunder Bay and surrounding area, organized a conference on physical and health education which was held at the University on January 26 and 27. Better than 150 people participated in this program which was initiated for the purpose of promoting coordination of the various approaches to physical and health education in Northwestern Ontario. The conference attracted people from as far as Kenora in the west and Terrace Bay to the east. Perhaps the most significant achievement of the meeting was the formation of a Northwestern Ontario Physical and Health Education Committee charged with the responsibility of planning seminars and workshops to be presented in the near future, particularly relevant to the needs of the region as they are encountered by teachers in the elementary and secondary school systems. Second Language Study Provincial Fellowships of up to $2,000 have been made available to students who desire immersion in the milieu of their second language in any discipline. The candidate must be an undergraduateorgraduate Ontario student at a Canadian university and must have citizenship or landed immigrant status. If the second language is French, the student should normally have an acceptance from a French language university in Quebec. In the case of English, the acceptance should be from a Canadian university with Discipline offerings in the English language. Application forms may be obtained from: Fellowship Section Student Awards Branch Ministry of Colleges and Universities Mowat Block, 8th Floor Queen's Park Toronto, Ontario M7A 1C6 The deadline date is October 31, 1973. �Interviewer Dr. Chris Jecchinis, Chairman of the Department of Economics has been appointed interviewer of the candidates applying for studies at the Labour College of Canada.

The Commission, chaired by Doug Wright and D. 0. Davis spent four years studying, receiving submissions and holding hearings. The report outlines directions for change and instruments of change which could help provide flexibility in the post-secondary system in view of the Commission's conclusion that "post-secondary education is not an activity confined within the walls of the familiar institutions of teaching and learning." Mr. McNie raised some very pertinent questions concerning the education system in his remarks to the meeting. Some of these are mentioned below: -Will non-sequential learning be really accepted by the universities? -Are we prepared to admit that much learning, and some of our best creative people, can never be institutionalized? -Ought we not to more clearly define the purpose of graduate studies? -How do we measure performance and potential for admission purposes? -How do we make bilingualism work in the postsecondary scene?

Beginning in the 1973-74 fiscal year, formula grants will be based on the actual student enrolment of the previous year at each institution, rather than being based on current enrolment as ·at present. This is how the "slip-year" will be calculated. The current financing of colleges and universities ties the operating grant of each institution to student enrolment. This method - known as formula financing - has provided colleges and universities with an expanding revenue during their period of rapid growth. Many post-secondary institutions in Ontario, as in other provinces, have been confronted with budgetary problems as a result of a recent levelling off or a decrease in student enrolment. Afterconsultation with the universities, colleges and advisory bodies concerned, the Government has therefore decided to revise the way in which the formula is applied by introducing the "slip-rear" system. This will minimize future financia difficulties during a period when enrolment appears to be stabilizing and will assist orderly and effective planning and budgeting by the universities and the colleges of applied arts and technology, as they will be assured of a known level of support in advance. The "slip-year" will be introduced in the 1973-74 fiscal ear and details of the 1973-74 rants to VOLUME 5 NUMBER 20 MARCH 8, 1973 colleges and universities will be announced after the presentation of the budget in the Legislature in April. Several post-secondary institutions in Ontario suffered a decrease in student enrolment in 1972-73. As a result, the introduction of the "slip-year" system would penalize them in two successive years with a low operating grant. To assist these institutions - principally church-affiliated colleges, Algoma College, Lakehead University and the University of Windsor - they will receive in the current year special supplementary grants based upon their higher enrolment in 1971-72. It is hoped that the introduction of "slip-year" financing, combined with the presentf ractice of announcing in advance the value o the Basic Income Unit for formula grants, will help our col leg es and universities to plan ahead with assurance of provincial support. Toxic Casseroles A research team at Lakehead University has confirmed recent reports that certain casserole-style cooking pots may be capable of releasing dangerously high levels of toxic metals during the course of household cooking. Acting upon the suggestion of Mr. P. Enright, Master of the Hotel Administration Course at Confederation College, Dr. D. G. Holah of the Chemistry Department at Lakehead University conducted experiments on the cookware in question, with the help of University technicians Mr. D. Murray and Mr. D. Jones, as well as Dr. T. J. Griffith of the Instrumentation Laboratory. Two cast iron casseroles coated with brightly colored glazes which were purchased by Mr. Enright over a year a.90 in Ireland were investigated and can be identified by markings on the underside of the lids. One is yellow, made in France and carries the name Le Creuset, and the other is orange, made in Belgium and bears the inscription FE. The University workers established that the glaze on the orange casserole contains about2% (20,000 parts per million) cadmium, a highly toxic metal which, according to Dr. Holah, displays some properties and characteristics similar to those of mercury. The glaze on the yellow casserole contains lead1 antimony, zinc and a trace of cadmium. Both lead and cadmium can accumulate in the body and may eventually lead to serious illness and/or death if enough is ingested. Both casseroles have colored glazes on the underside of the lids and in order to determine how much, if any, of these toxic metals could be extracted from the glaze during cooking, the following procedures were employed: �:.. . . I, I., Ir ' ;,~ . .,. 1'.• .. 1) acetic acid (vinegar) was placed in the pots, the pots covered, and allowed to stand for sixteen hours at room temperature. 2) the pots, with above contents, were allowed to simmer for durations of 1 hour, 3 hours, and 5 hours 3) measurements of the concentrations of toxic metals in the vinegar were taken before the experiment, and after the end of each cooking cycle. Results were as follows: in the case of the yellow pot, the concentration of lead increased from 0 parts per million after standing for 16 hours at room temperature to about 1 part per million after simmering for one hour. This concentration remained fairly constant throughout the remaining cooking cycles. In the case of the orange pot, however, the concentration of cadmium increased from O parts per million after standing for 16 hours at room temperatureto3.5 parts per million after one hour of simmering, to 8.9 parts per million after three hours and 18.3 parts per million after five hours. In addition, after sitting for another 42 hours at room temperature, the concentration in the latter case increased to 19.4 parts per million. Dr. Holah pointed out that, while this testing procedure probably exceeds the most extreme conditions likely to be met in the kitchen, there nevertheless exists the danger that cookin~ with acidic foods (e.g. fruit juices, vinegar, etc.) may result in the extraction of dangerous levels of cadmium from the lid. To illustrate how undesirable cadmium is, a drinking water supply which persistently, over a period of time, showed concentrations of cadmium above the level of 0.01 parts per million may be rejected as unfit for human consumption. The above experiments seem to indicate that the use of certain kinds of cookware may result in people consuming many times the concentration of cadmium considered safe, and confirm earlier reports documented in aseriesofarticlesappearing in the British weekly newspaper "The Observer" in December 1972, and January 1973. There are many types of casserole which have been and are being sold in Thunder Bay and elsewhere in Canada, and there is no evidence at the .present time to suggest that ones similar to those tested are not amongst them. Dr. Holah' is particularly concerned that people with 'casserole dishes with orange glaze on the underside of the lids either stop using them for cooking, or avoid releasing toxic substances by introducing a layer of aluminum foil between the casserole lid and the food to be cooked. "The Observer" reported "that all casseroles that are not orange, red or orange-yellow on the insides are above suspicion". A copy of this report has been sent to the Consumer and Corporate Affairs Office of the Canadian Government in Thunder Bay South. Economics Notes Mr. N. C. Bonser recently gave an invited paper to the Economic Council of the American Institute of Minin~ and Petroleum Engineers in Chicago entitled 'The Impact of Mineral Production on Regional Economic Growth". It was shown, with the use of a computerized model, that the multilier effects for the Northwestern Ontario region rom increased mineral productionwassmall. The paper will be published in April 1973. Dr. G. C. Ruggeri has completed a study on the relationship between tax structure and economic performance. The author used the Wharton Econometric Forecasting Model to simulate time-series of real outputandcapitalstockintheUnited States from 1953 - 1963, first with and then without automatic stabilizers to determine the extent to which these stabilizers may act as a drag on economic growth. The results indicated the effects were negligible, except when mild recessiqns were followed by strong and sustained reco\iery periods. Dr. Ruggeri's study will appear under the title "Automatic Stabilizers, Business Cycles and Economic Growth" in KYKLOS (Vol. XXVI, No. 2, 1973). Mr. T. D. Harris and Dr. C. A. Jecchinis discussed the problem of rising food prices in the "News Makers" program of CHFD, Channel 4, on Saturday, March 3, 1973 at 7:15 p.m. Dr. F. S. Chen presented a Staff Seminar entitled "Learning by Doing ... A Static Analysis of the Problem of Unemployment" on Wednesday, March 7, 1973. r. Sociologist Lectures Dr. J. D. Martin of the Sociology Department gave a lecture February 28 at Hammarskjold High School on "Population, Ecology, and Natural Resources". Dr. Martin discussed the effects of the depletion of natural resources on the life style of specifically the North American population. Elected Mr. Gary Summers, the Secondary School Liaison Officer for Lakehead University, has recently been elected to the Executive Standing Committee on Secondary School Liaison which represents all �Ontario Universities. The Liaison Standing Committee co-ordinates all visitations to Ontario high schools, by various representatives of the fifteen Ontario universities and Ryerson Polytechnic Institute.

History Notes •.. and one for all Focussing upon the secondary wood-using industries, the group witnessed various manufacturing methods in tl-ie production of plywood, particle board, hockey sticks, pianos, caskets, top-quality and good quality furniture, and chassis for buggies, wagons and the like. Stops included Hearst, Cochrane, Powassan, Hespeler and Pancake Bay. Through the cooperation of the Ministry of Natural Resources, the group saved on expenses by rolling out their lbedrolls in heated warehouses along the way. Theysharedthedriving ina rented van and often stopped for cookouts under the stars. One of their more memorable stops was for a feast of pigtails in the Blue Moon Hotel in Petersburg. The average out-of-pocket expense for the whole trip was about $35. Not only did the students benefit from the opportunity to observe the practical application of what they have been studying, but they also experienced (according to the picture) that special comaraderie which seems to go along with being a forester at Lakehead University. Foundation Grant The Lake Superior Association of Colleges and Universities has announced that a grant of $69,000 has been made by the Hill Family Foundation to the Association for the fiscal year 1973-74. The heads of the six institutions comr,rising the association said in a joint statement, 'This grant enables us to move the Association into a new and important level of collaboration.

Mr. McNie spoke about the history and value of the apprenticeship system and his Ministry's interest in it. He mentioned the Report of the Commission on Post-Secondary Education and echoed some of its sentiments in saying that some of the students walking through classroom doors could also be entering a learning environment through the factory gates. Learning and working don't have to be treated as separate activities as exemplified in the apprenticeship system, he said. Fellowships are awarded for twelve months, commencing in September, 1973. Fellows receive a stipend of $3,900 and an allowance of $600 for each dependent child and the Fellow'stuitionfees are paid to the University.

Presentation of Paper Library Display A joint committee of Harvard, Princeton and Yale Universitt scholars has accepted Dr. Fayek lshak's eClper INTRICATE RANGES OF MYSTIC UNICITY EXAMINED THROUGH NEOPLATONIC COSMOLOGY. It will be presented in the one hundred and eighty-third meeting of the American Oriental Society which will be held in Washington, D.C., "'arch 20 and 22. "The Performing Arts in Canada" is the toric of the new display in the Catalogue Hall o the University Library. Music, the dance, and the theatre are all represented through a selection of the library's books, periodicals and pictures, with emphasis on our own Thunder Bay Symphony and local drama groups including the Cambrian Players who have generously loaned a few items. ,.his paper attempts to clarify the entangled problems germinated from the tirelessquestafter the unio mystica in the light of the cosmological mysticism of Plotinus. Its purpose is to bring out the mrstico-philosophical distinctions, both ontologica and epistemological, between Oriental mysticism and neo-Platonism. Its basic endeavour is to review thehigherstatesofcosmicimmanence {saprranca) and acosmic transcendence {nisprapc5nca and the ultimate accession to the unconditione being {Wujvd Mutlag) through a fresh perspective. CHMC Fellowships One hundred and twenty-five Fellowships for 1973-74 are offered by Central Mortgage and Housing Corporation for full-time graduate study in various fields or urban and regional affairs. One hundred and fifteen Fellowships are designated for study in Canadian universities and ten for study outside Canada. Fee Increases Rejected The Board of Directors of the Association of Universities and Colleges of Canada has rejected higher tuition feesforout-of-provinceandforeign students. With regard to Canadians, the AUCC feels that the imposition of higher fees on out-of-province students would be detrimental to national unity and cultural exchanges. As for non-Canadians, the AUCC noted thatprior to World War 11, Canada sentmoreofits citizens to study outside the country than it was receiving foreign students in its institutions. Therefore the AUCC feels that access to Canadian universities should not be made more difficult for foreign students. Canada has a debt to repay, and as one of the more affluent nations of the world, it must do its share in the field of higher education. �Numerical Solutions Dr. R. G. Rosehart and Professor D. Maclean of the School of Engineering presented a paper entitled "Numerical Solutions of Hydrogen Diffusion Under A Thermal Gradient in Zirculoy -2" at the 102nd annual meeting of the American Institute of Mining, Metallurg_ical and Petroleum Engineering in Chicago on February 26, 1973.

Mr. Hopper is a well-known craftsman - potter, and probably the leading Canadian authority on ceramic glazes. Dr. K. Paul Satinder, Associate Professor in the Psychology Department and Director of the animal behaviour laboratory, has recently received national and international recognition for his scholastic and research activities. He is one of a dozen Canadian scholars chosen to represent the Canadian Association for Laboratory Animal Science as spokesman to accommodate requests of the public media. He is also listed in the International Directory of Investigators in Psychopharmacology as well as the International Sdiolars Directory. Dr. Satinder also announces that he has been invited to chair a symposium on "Motivational factors in genetic analysis of behaviour" at the Annual Meeting of the Canadian Psychological Association to take place at the University of Victoria, British Columbia, June 7-9, 1973. Italian Course On Tuesday, March 20 at 6:30 p.m., Professor Cornell-d'Echert was interviewed by a former student of Lakehead University for the "Ethnic Report", a Channel 7 television broadcast. The subject of the interview was the teaching of Italian at the high school and university levels. During subsequent weeks, Professor Cornell-d' Echert will be giving a "mini-course" in Elementary Italian over Channel 7 Cable T.V. The students taking the course are from local high schools. Only one of the students is of Italian background. The others are of various ethnic origins. The classes will be broadcast on Tuesdays at 6:30 Thursdays at 5:30 p.m., and Fridays at 7:3 p.m. 8.m., To Minnesota Mr. Robin Hopper During his short stay, he gave lecture demonstrations at Hammarksjold and Selkirk high schools, and a talk on his pots and the history of pottery at Lakehead University. On Saturday and Sunday he gave a course at the Lakehead University Pottery House on throwing, design and glazing. He particularly emphasized the use of slip decoration - a technique he feels is unjustly neglected - as well as the organization of glaze-testing. Judging from the enthusiasm of the twenty potters who attended, some local pottery will soon be showing evidence of Mr. Hopper's influence. Six Forestry students and their instructor recently returned from a three-day tour of timber harvesting, manufacturing and research facilities of Boise-Cascade, Diamond International and North-West Paper Corporations in northern Minnesota. Startling differences were observed between timber harvesting in Minnesota and that done in Northwestern Ontario. Areas being harvested were often 40-acre blocs widely dispersed, as opposed to the vast tracts of land held under private license in Ontario. Large logging campsand huge, sophisticated harvesting equipment such as that used in Ontario harvesting operations were conspicuous by their absence in Minnesota. There the wood is procured by forest product �. :"' • 1 , • ' ; /· I \ companies from purchase operators who cut on state and/or federally owned lands, as well as from contractors who harvest the timber on company-owned lands. Foresters on tour Operations visited were not under union jurisdiction. Payment for wood produced was on a piecework basis. As usually found with such entrepreneurs, inventions to lighten or speed up the work were in evidence, such as a one-man slasher, hydraulic delimbing devices, and a very efficient and inexpensive feller-buncher. Minnesota industrial Foresters are concentrating their efforts to maximize fibre-yield per acre on company-owned lands. To accomplish this, select aspen sites are being purchased, and some effort is being made to convert spruce-fir stands to aspen. Unlike the spruce and pine stands of the Canadian Boreal Forest which are frequently difficult to regenerate, the aspen stands readily reproduce themselves without expense to the owners. Company personnel gave the impression that it was preferable from their point of view to develop new manufacturing technology to use hardwood species, rather than to attempt to regenerate spruce and pine. Research personnel reported that aspen is presently being used successfully in the manufacture of newsprint. Students returned to Thunder Bay with a broadened outlook on the forest products industry, and heartened to know that troublesome theory, though hard-earned, is a prerequisite for making decisions regarding future timber crops. Participants expressed their thanks to Boise-Cascade and Diamond International Corporations for their co-operation in arranging accommodation alon the way.

Experience '73 The Government of Ontario has announced its summer programs for studentemploymentcalled Experience '73. Various programmes include community work in correctional institutions, nursing homes and facilities for the mentally retarded. Other programs are concerned with environment enhancement and resource development. At a recent dinner ceremony at the"PrinceArthur Hotel, the first graduating class of Lakehead University degree Foresters were honoured by the Canadian Institute of Forestry. Highlight of the evening was the presentation to each graduate of the lnstitute's symbol of a professional Forester. This consists of a plain sterling silver ring with a tiny spruce tree superimposec:I upon it. Pictured here receiving his ring from Len Starr, local C.I.F. President, is Don Baine.

J~W~~Qfu ~o ff ice NUMBER 23 APRIL 27, 1973 Status Approved Summer Study Responding to a request from Waterloo Lutheran University, the Ontario Government has approved a recommendation from the Committee on University Affairs that the university become a public non-denominational institution, the Honourable Jack Mc Nie, Minister of Colleges and Universities, announced today. Approximately seventy courses will be offered for credit in two six week sessions this spring and summer. The Spring Term runs from May 9 to June 26, the Summer Term from July 3 to August 15. Regristration for the Spring Term is scheduled for Thursday, April 26, 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., and between 10:00 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. on Saturday, April 28 and Saturday May 5. Summer Session brochures with complete information on courses, fees, residence information and the like are available through the Office of the Registrar, or by phoning 345-2121, extension 527 or 269. At present church-related institutions at the university level may receive 50% of operating formula support from the Province. If Waterloo Lutheran University accepts the conditions qualifying for full funding, Mr. McNie indicated that,beginning in 1973/74, operating grants will be adjusted over a period of several years. At the end of that period, the dollar support for the new institution will reach the level provided to all provi~cially assisted universities under formula financing. Mr. McNie also indicated that his Ministry is continuing its studies of recommendations from the Committee on University Affairs suggesting possible alternatives to the present arrangements for funding other church-related institutions. These, unlike Waterloo Lutheran University, are academically affiliated to provincially assisted universities. NRC Grants The National Research Council has announced grants totalling $180,451 for 1973/74 to Lakehead University for the following professors and departments. Biology -$26,500., G.H. Harvais, A.D. MacDonald, J.P. Ryder, R. Freitag, P. Barclay, M.W. Lankester. Chemistry - $37,000., N.A. Weir, A.N. Hughes, I.M. Hoodless, D.G. Holah, J. Crossley. Engineering - $5,000., R.G.

Economics News A special course entitled "The Businessman and the Economy" commenced on April 4th, 1973 at Lakehead University. This course consists of nine two-hour lectures which will deal with contemporary economic problems of particular interest to the local business community and is being cosponsored by the Thunder Bay Chamber of Commerce, although it is open also to the general public. The lectures will be given by Faculty Members of the Department of Economics of Lakehead University, and the participants will be issued at the completion of the course, with a certificat~ from Lakehead University. Dr. Chris Jecchinis, Chairman of the Department Jf Economics gave two talks on April 5th, 1973 to local community groups. The first was to the Kiwians at the Prince Arthur Hotel on "The Importance of Industrial Peace", and the second to the participants of the labour education weekend institute at the Lakehead Labour Centre on "The Role of Universities in Labour Education". Mr. C.A. Nicolaou presented a Staff Seminar entitled "Product Diversification and the MultiProduct Firm" (Co-written with B. Spencer University of Manitoba) on Wednesday 21st March 1973. I I Mr. F.J. Anderson presented a Staff Seminar entitled "Pecuniary Externalities and Referent Groups in the Operation of the Price System" on Wednesday, 28th March, 1973. �Paper To Be Read Mr. Walter Bilyk, Co-ordinator of Management Information Systems for the University has recently been notified that his paper has been selected for presentation at the 18th annual College and University Machine Re.cords ~onferencE: to be held in Milwoukee, Wisconsin on April 30 to May 2, 1973. The title of the paper is "Standards for Documention" and describes the approach and technique developed at Lakehead University for the documention of adminstrative computerized systems. The paperwill also be published in the annual conference proceedings. It is expected that over 800 university and college systems personnel, registrars, and business officers from nearly 300 institutions in the United States, Canada, and Europe will be in attendance at the conference. This type of exposure, on an international scale, should be very useful in exhibiting the work that has been done here at Lakehead University. It is also significant to note that there are no other individual presentations being made by any other Canadian university or college. Basketball Camp Editor's Note: The following item is contributed by Howard Lockhart, Director of the University's basketball programmes. The Lakehead University Basketball Camp which is attended by primarily high school or future University students has experienced a resurgence of applications since the return of the basketball team from the C.I.A.U . finals. Nearly all of the 58 applications received to date have come in after the tournament. I also think it is interesting to note that 16 applications are from Waterloo while only 12 are from Thunder Bay. Fourte_en different cities are represented, many of which are areas that have large populations and which have little knowledge of Lakehead University. Slowly but surely, with some excellent help from our outstandin~ athletic teams and the basketball camp, the country is learning about Lakehe~d University. Last year at this time we had 2 registrations. Pet Animals On Campus The University is currently presented with its annual problem of pet animals on campus. Me!11bers of the University community who allow the_1r pets to run freely on campus and within the buildings are contributing directly to the considerable costs of housekeeping and groundskeeping. Last year the University Committee reminded the University staff and students that it was a violation of health regulations to allow pets into campus buildings, and requested CD-operation in keeping all pets on a leash when on the campus. Since the situation has again deteriorated, and since we are making every effort to reduce our expenditures, we are once again seeking the cooperation of all concerned in eliminating this problem. Without that co-operation, the only alternative will be to have the Humane Society remove all stray animals. Computer Authority Bernard A. Hodson, associate professor of computer systems in the School of Business at Lakehead University, has recently completed a book entitled Modern Data Processing for Management, which will be published in May by Macmillan of Canada. The book has recently been reviewed extensively in the April 7 issue of the Financial Post, pp. 38-39. Essentially, the book deals with the ABC's of data processing, providing hints on how to implement a practicable computer system, as well as indicating some probable future directions for computer applications. Professor Hodson has also been invited to present a paper entitled "General purpose programs may change the compute~ indust_ry" to t_he Canadian Information Processing Society. This prem ier computer society will be meeting in Edmonton June 19-21. Information N_o tes Members of the University community are reminded that copy for local newspaper and other advertisements must be received by the Information Office four full working days in advance of publication in order to have service guaranteed. Professors, staff and students interested in contributing editorial articles of at least 500 words to the local media are requested to contact the Information Office as soon as possible. Phone 3452121, extension 300. �QJ W88K a publication of the Lakehead University information office Fishing Forbidden The Ministry of Natural Resources wishes to inform local anglers that fishing will not be allowed in the vicinity of Lakehead University during the current rainbow trout spawning run. • The ministry has posted signs warning persons not to fish within 25 yards downstream of two dams on the McIntyre River which hold back the university's man-made lake. The dams are an obstruction to spawning fish and rainbow trout tend to get trapped in this stretch of river. The river has been posted under authority of the Canada Fisheries Act, section 25 which reads, "No one shall damage or obstruct any fishway or canal built or used to enable fish to pass over or around any slide, dam or other obstruction." "This area is subject to a lot of fishing pressure," said conservation officer Russell Maa. "We'd just like to give the fish a chance to spawn." Mr. Maa regretted that three out of five bright red warning signs have been ripped down and thrown into the river since they were erected. "We want the public to know we have put those signs there for a purpose," he said. Student Awards VOLUME 5 NUMBER 23 APRIL 27, 1973 ent student's Award could increase by as much as 30% or more under the new regulations. Miscellaneous Allowances Miscellaneous allowances have been increased by 10%. Such would make a difference of about $30 on a student's Ontario Student Award at Lakehead University. Married Students Assessment procedures now reflect the increased cost of living by a higher maintenance allowance of $3400 versus $3000 in previous years. Other changes include an increase in allowable babysitting costs, a more generous assessment of student summer earnings, and allowances for children based on age. Independent Clause Students who have worked a total of 24 consecutive months in full-time employment may elect for independent status from their families. They will be eligible for up to $1400 in Canada Student Loan. Aid to Part-time Students A_ rilot pr~gram for loans to part_-time students wil begin in September. Loans will be interestbearing from the date of negotiation. Repayment would commence 10 months after the date of negotiation or 2 months after the end of the stuaent's course whichever occurs first. Squash Tournament The Government of Ontario announced on April 13 that financial aid to students in post-secondary education will be substantially increased in the 1973-74 fiscal year. Budgetary estimates allow $38.4 million for the Ontario Student Awards Program~ Ontario Graduate Fellowships Program, and high school bursaries. In 1972-73 the budget was $27 million. Higher Exemption for Academic Awards In previous years all awards in excess of $150 were considered as resources in the assessment of an Ontario Student Award. This year the limit has been increased to the level of a student's tuition and incidental fees. An Arts student at Lakehead University, for example, would be allowed to receive $665 before it affected his Ontario Student Award. It is hoped that the higher exemption will encourage scholarship and academic excellence. Improved Parental Allowances The men will be contesting for the Bumford Trophy while the ladies will be competing for the Doran's Challenge Trophy. Eliminations will be conducted for all categories on Saturday, April 28 while final matches will be held on Sunday, April 29. The parental contribution tables have been modified to herp offset increased cost of living for those families with children in post-secondary education. Additional relief is provided in the new contribution tables for families with two or more children in post-secondary education. A depend- Bob Everett will seek to de.fend the Bumford trophy but he is expected to receive opposition from players like Dick Wilson and Richard Earl. The Bumford Trophy was last competed for in 1968 while the Doran's Challenge Trophy has just recently been donated for the ladies. The Lakehead University Invitational Squash Tournament is set for April 28 and 29 at the C.J. Sanders Fieldhouse. Starting Wednesday, April 25, competitors can find out the time for their first matches by inquiring at the Lakehead University Fieldhouse equipment room desk. Tournament officials will supply regulation balls and will provide clarification on controversial rules. Although white wearing apparel will not be mandatory, competitors will be asked to wear shorts and T-shirts rather than sweat pants. �Botanical Authority The January, 1973 issue of the American Rock Garden Society Bulletin features an article on an unique floral mini-environment notfarfrom Thunder Bay. The article, written by Mr. Barry W. Starling of Epping Upland, England, relates his experiences of last summer in a canyon similar to Ouimet Canyon, with Claude Garton, Curator of the Lakehead University Herbarium. In the article, Mr. Starling admits to being startled by the prevalence of arctic species in the canyon. He explains the reason for these species having been left behind after the last recession of the polar ice-cap: "The reason for these arctic conditions was that the floor of the canyon was a bed of permanent ice. On top of this, boulders of varying dimensions, some being as large as a small room, were heaped and tumbled together, while over all grew athickcarpetof moss. Claude Garton's expert knowledge of every plant organism to be found in this area, was amply demonstrated as he introduced me to the numerous species of the mosses, liverworts, algae, lichens, sedges and ferns, as well as the flowering plants. It was the mosses, and humus they formed, together with thr rotting trees, that provided a suitable habitat for so wide a range of flowering plants. The three or four hundred feet high sides of the narrow canyon effectively reduced the day length by cutting out the sunshine for much of the day. Consequently, snowwasslowtoclearand the ice remained as a cooling agent throughout the summer." Mr. Garton is becoming recognized more and more as an authority on residual arctic species in the Boreal forest region. 73/74 Budget Total operating grants to universities and community colleges will rise from $555.4 million to $603.9 million, or 8.7% over 1972-73, according to the Honourable Jack McNie, Minister of Colleges and Universities. "The Province's financial commitment shows that post-secondary education remains very high on the Government's list of priorities," the Minister said. Much of the increase in funding comes with a rise in the value of the Basic Income Unit which is used in calculating grants based on enrolment. It has gone to $1,825 from $1,765, a rise of 3.4 per cent reflecting increases in the consumer price index. Other factors affecting the increase to universities include added weight to part-time programs for grant purposes, more support for bilingual programs and an increase in grants to municipalities in lieu of taxes for education facilities. The formula for calculating grants based on enrolment has been chan~ed with the introduction of "slip-year financing.' Under this method grants for the 1973-74 fiscal year will be based on actual enrolment in 1972-73 rather than on the 1973-74 enrolment. "At a time when post-secondary enrolment is levellin~ off or actually declining at some institutions,' McNie said, "this approach will provide the institutions with an assured level of provincial support and assist them in their financial management." Since many colleges still are expanding at varying rates, however, they will receive a transitional slip-year grant for this year only to allow for enrolment growth in full-time and part-time programs. Smaller universities such as Brock and Trent which have been experiencing problems due to declining enrolments will receive added assistance in the form of fixed sum compensatory grants based on a careful assessment of their needs. The government's policy of placing greater emphasis on part-time studies at Ontario universities is reflected in a decision now to countfive course registrations as a full-time equivalent for grant purposes. A new method of calculating supportforbilingual programs will also be introduced. Grants equal to 5 per cent of their Basic Operating Income will go to the University of Ottawa, York University's Glendon College, Laurentian University, Algonquin College of Applied Arts and Technology - and for the part-time to the Universite de Sudbury. Univ~rsity schools of social work will receive supplementary grants to finance field instruction that used to be supported by the federal department of national health and welfare and the former provincial department of social and family services. Extra-formula grants for undergreduate programs in health sciences and law will go to nine universities: University of Guelph for veterinary medicine: University of Windsor and York Uni- �versity for law: University of Ottawa and Queen's University for law, medicine and interns: University of Toronto and University of Western Ontario for law, medicine, interns and dentistry: McMaster University for medicine and interns: and University of Waterloo for optometry. For the first time in 1973-74, the colleges' estimates include operating support for 9,500 diploma nursing students who will be integrated into the system in September. Several colleges already are involved in health sciences programs. Some nurses' training will continue in regional and hospital nursing school facilities. The Ministry's Estimates, when they are presented to the legislature, will also provide support of Registered Nursing Assistant Schools, including some provision for students' living allowances. It is expected that the RNA schools eventually will be integrated into the colleges. At such time, college grants will be adjusted accordingly. In addition to support for fee-paying post-secondary students, the colleges will receive grants approximately equal to last year's for adult training. This will include sponsored students, referred by Canada Manpower Centres and from the province's program for Training in Business and Industry. The Estimates also provide for apprentices' tuition under the Ontario Apprenticeship and Tradesmen's Qualifications Act. For both colleges and universities, grants to municipalities in lieu of taxes for post-secondary education facilities have been increased from the previous dual rates of $25 or $35 to a universal $50 for each full-time student. Mr. McNie emphasized that the status of capital financing remains essentially unchanged since last November's announcement of a moratorium on new building projects. The capital estimates for 1973-74 of $65 million, which is down from the 1972-73 actual of $147 million, will provide only for the capital requirements of those facilities already under construction or for emergency renovations. The renovations will be on a very limited basis reflecting the results of a government survey of institutional needs. Why Wait For Fall? The 1973 Christmas Party Committee is seeking individuals fron1 all segments of the University staff to form a new committee for the purpose of planning this year's Christmas celebrations. If you have any new ideas and would like to participate please contact Mrs. J. Helliwell at Exten- sion 616 or Mrs. G. Laser at Extension 7 44. Ontario Graduate Fellowship The Ontario Graduate Fellowship program is to continue for another year at its present level of support. It provides 3 million dollars in $1500 allotments to graduate students who intend to pursue a career in teaching in post-secondary education. Biology Note Dr. R. Freitag has recently been elected Associate Editor of the Proceedings of the Entomological Society of Ontario. The Proceedings are published by the Entomological Society of Ontario which was established in 1863. Regional Reps Visit Lakehead University has representatives in towns right across Northwestern Ontario, from Rainy River and Red Lake in the westto Marathon and Manitouwadge in the east. These representatives recently got together with the Director of Continuing Education and other members of the Academic staff to discuss problems and to look for solutions in matters as widely diverse as the provision of courses during the Spring and Summer Terms and the facilities for borrowing library books. The session started off with a party at the Director's house on Friday night, April 13th. A considerable measure of rapport developed and it transpired that the group had considerable musical talent! The following day, Saturday, April 14th was devoted to a Workshop addressed by the President, several Deans, Faculty members and aiso the Dean of Academic Studies at Confederation College, Mitch Anderson. During these sessions the representatives were informed about developments in the University on a very frank basis, and they were also told about the plans for e:xtending the already excellent cooperation between the University and the College: there is a scheme afoot to investigate the possibility of having joint representation in one town as an experiment for one year. The formal session concluded with a dinner at the Lotus Inn at which the Dean of Education gave an interesting short speech with the theme of educational standards. The delegates had the University swimming pool to themselves on Sunday morning and returned home informed and refreshed. The University staff for their part are trying to �W88Kl8 even~s resolve some of the difficulties that the representatives brought to their attention, particularly in the matter of staffing of summer courses. Latest Offering mee~ings Community Involvement As part of Lakehead University's lecture tours many university personnel have travelled to small communities to speak with pupils in various public and high schools. Cambrian Players have been invited by Theatre Ontario to represent Northwestern Ontario in the first all Ontario theatre festival to be held in St. Catherines May 19-26. Theatre Ontario is a new provincial theatre organization designed to promote theatre in all its aspects. The group intend to take to St. Catherines "The Country Girl" by Clifford Odets, directed by Don Jamieson, which will be presented to local audiences at Lakehead University April 26-28. The story of the play is a simple one: How a wife and a stage director reclaim an actor from alcoholism and restore him to the stage as a fully accredited star. Essentially it is the drama of three very real people caught in a painful tangle of apprehension and misunaerstanding. They are not stereotypes: they are complicated human beings. The play will be presented for local audiences on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, April 26-28 in the University Centre Theatre at 8:30 p.m. Tickets are available at Chapples, Confederation College Bookstore, Eatons, Gascoigne's, Lakehead University Bookstore, Thunder Bay Travel, Val's Card and Party Shoppe. History Notes The April issue of The Sixteenth Century Journal contains an article by Dr. A. Lynn Martin of the Department of History. The article, entitled "The Jesuit Mystique," presents the ma·,or conclusions of Dr. Martin's research on the po itical activities of Jesuits during the French Wars of Religion. A book based on this research and entitled HENRY 111 AND THE JESUIT POLITICIANS will be published this summer by Editions Droz of Geneve, Switzerland. Thunder Bay District, 1821-1892, a collection of documents edited with an introduction by Professor Elizabeth Arthur of the Department of History, has just been published by the University of Toronto Press. This work is the ninth volume in the Champlain Society's Ontario Series a series made possible through the collaboration of the Champlain Society and the Government of Ontario. In his foreword, Premier Davis notes that Professor Arthur's "research is part of the effort of the District's new university to explore and analyze the area in which it is situated and to make its discoveries known to the rest of the province." The picture shows Dr. and M rs. John Hart, at the invitation of Mrs. Lillian Wolter, showing various Thailand silks to the kindergarten and grade one students of the Greenmantle School, Nipigon, Ontario. �Whither Science Editor's Note: Following are excerpts from an address by Mme Jeane Sauve, Federal Minister of State for Science and Technology, to the Agricultural Engineering Faculty and Students, University of Saskatchewan, March 30, 1973. It is said that to move one grain of sand on the beach is to change the course of the universe. There are three events in human history that can be regarded as grains of sand being moved, events which laid the foundations of species and civilization. The first is a hypothesis because we have no direct data, but without its assumption nothing else could flow. This sequence is man walking upright, using crude weapons for hunting and food gathering, communicating and forming social organizations. This first sequence gave us dominance and the ability to spread over the planet's surface. The beginning of Stanley Kubrick's film 2001: A Space Odyssey, is a vivid dramatization of this hypothesis. The second event, projected something like ten thousand years ago, was the invention of crop agriculture and domestication of animals forfood and labor. This still is the major basis for our civilization today. The conscious intervention in, and control of, nature, produced a surplus of food which freed humans for pursuits other than sheer survival. Granted the freedom was somewhat dubious: you were free to be enslaved, free to go to war, and other such freedoms. The third event hod its beginning about 200 years ago in modern scientific methodology and its application tohumonendeovorsondproblems. species. Yet the very knowledge that hos raised us from the coves to the stars, seems to hove backfired. Recently as I walked to Parliament Hill in Ottawa in the black snow, I wondered what my lungs look like. On a clear day you con stand behind the Parliament Buildings in Ottawa and watch the pastel-colored candy cotton drift down the Ottawa River ... Chemical Foam. You con walk downtown in Ottawa and feel the grit accumulate on your eyes and feel the rhythms of your breathing and heartbeat being altered by the roar of traffic. Most of the time we don't notice this. We city denizens filter out most of the incoming sensory information because most of it is garbage. Literally. 70% of the planet's surface is covered with water and our bodies ore 70% water. Water is a vital medium for life. It is in a liquid soup that life first began. Yet we hove polluted our oceans, filled them with chemical wastes, pesticide runoffs, non-biodegradable plastics, etc... Although 70% of the planet's surface is water, less than one percent of that is fresh unsalted water in on unfrozen state. Industry and agriculture ore insatiable in their use of fresh water. We ore now beginning to syphon the lost great resources of clean fresh water - - ground water. With increased population comes increased pollution, increased demand on the life-support systems of the planet. W"ldlife is being decimated and found in zoos only. And our cities ore becomingzoosforpeople with plastic trees, plastic gross and ever increasing unhappiness and dissatisfaction. These events reflect man's curiosity and creativity. Creativity is a combination of observation, trial and error manipulation, and finally the explosion of on unexpected insight, a synapse. In other words, the creative process in human thought whether in the arts, sciences, humanities or the everyday business of living is the unexpected and u npredictoble jump mode in synthesis of thoughts. Intelligence. Our situation seems to be much life that of the Coyote in the Road Runner cartoons who runs off the edge of a cliff at full blast. He's doing fine until he looks down, until he becomes aware and conscious of his situation. Just as he realizes he is standing on nothing above the abyss, he falls an eternity and hits bottom with minute indications of a little puff of smoke, a little thump. The design feature for humans is this creativity. Science and technology ore manifestations of human creativity. Hence science and technology ore not merelr recent.developments but indeed a fundomento characteristic, on inherent characteristic, a defining characteristic, of the human Is that where we stand today with all our creativity in the sciences and the arts? Hove we in blind faith run off the edge of the cliff over the abyss and now that we hove become aware, will humanity foll like so much dead weight? What hos gone wrong? Are Science and Technology the villains, �W80KI~ even~s the attectors of our endangered environment, the causers of our unhappiness? No. We are the villains. The creative process or knowledge is in itself not damaging or harmful but we have misapplied and misused our knowledge. We cannot avoid responsibility for our human decisions and actions by smearing a neutral entity, knowledge, with our own negligence and the lack of foresight. So we have a paradox. Science and Technology have provided enormous benefits in terms of survival and intellectual evolution and now we find that our application of our knowledge is insidiously killing us. So where do we stand? Science and Technology are not incidental activities but rather a defining feature of the species, a design feature of humans. Our very survival depends on them. So it seems that we cannot abandon Science and Technology because it would amount to abandoning a part of ourselves and that is suicidal. Today Science and Technology are being used to restore imbalances created l:iy misuse of Science and Technology. A paradox. But man's nature is paradoxical and that's been known to philosophers and thinkers for a couple of thousand years. With our newly-rediscovered comprehension of the unity of existence, with our newly-rediscovered poetic vision, we are in a better position tb cope. The possibilities for the future seen only to be limited by our imagination. Domes covering deserts and arctic regions to be used for agricultural purposes. Orbiting greenhouses, perhaps zero gravity has some unique effect on plant growth. Energy from plasma fusion reactors which are essentially miniature stars. And since elements are built up inside the core of stars, plasma fusion may also give us a means to manufacture elements. Genetic engineering can give us the capability to regenerate diseased and damaged body parts. And immortality. Perhaps we can grow organs that could feed on sunlight directly. Biofeedback is leading us to conscious control of automatic phrsiological systems. Mental telepathy may put Bel Tel out of business. Perhaps we will have a relationship with computers, direct links between our brains and computers. And the Black Holes in deep-space where time and space are warped, who knows where those funnels may lead us? I have tried to raise with you two principal points for your consideration. The first -- and I think it is one that would be hard to dispute -- says this about Science and Technology! Science and Technology are notancilarry to man's mee~ings existence. They are major activities of man. They are vital manifestations of man's creativity. As such, we must cherish them and use them wisely. My second point is somewhat more complex. It is that man's existence, and his perception of it, are a continuum. In an efforttounderstandwhere he is going, he has fractionated his activities, he has become a super-specialist. But if he is to understand and to control the whole, he must integrate the perceptions arising from his superspecialization into the entire range of human activity. That i!i the challenge of man today. To integrate his knowledge and activities into the entire life system. We must change our philosophical perspective with view to our existence. We are in a constant state of flux, we are constantly at a crossroads because we are the crossroads -- we are the synapse, the nexus of possibilities branching out in a myriad of ever changing patterns. We do not cross bridges which are posited as having a beginning, a middle and an end. Rather, we are the bridge and we are a bridge such that we cannot perceive the banks we touch, or even if there are banks to touch.

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

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

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

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

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