The number applying directly from Ontario Secondary Schools is up by 3.6".,; other applicants show an increase of 23. 7 ".,. The figures should be interpreted with caution because actual t enrolments in the past have varied signi~ ficantly from the number of applicants recorded by March 15th. Since an appli~ cant can apply to three universities it is not yet possible to predict accurately what enrolment wilt be in individual universities . ..d The number of first choices are sub~ stantially increased for some universities and at this date show a decrease in others. Since first year enrolment is limited in some cases, shifts of students to second and third choices will take place. Secondary school applicants are showing increased preference for university programmes in agriculture, architecture, business administration, engineering, environmental studies, forestry, household science, landscape architecture, nursing, physical education, science and social work.

Grants Among the recently announced National Research Council (NRC) of Canada grants to aid Scientific Research in Canadian Universities were a total of 39 grants to Lakehead University Faculty members which, combined, add up to $204,576.00. Dr. Robert Ross, Dean of the Faculty of Science, said that this year's total grants represent a five percent increase over those received last year: "That total is much more impressive when you consider that NRC 's overall budget did not increase while the number of requests for grants from scientists across Canada did increase dramatically. I'm extremely proud of the group of scientists we have here at Lakehead. They are a highly qualified group as is borne out by the quality and quantity of their research and the high regard in which they are held by their fellow scientists and, of course, the NRC ".

Economics Notes The Spring issue of The Logistics and Transportation Review contains an article by Norman C. Bonsor of the Department of Economics entitled "An Optimal Pricing Strategy for Scheduled Air Carriers Over the North Atlantic". Direct and indirect operating cost functions are derived and it is shown that the current regulatory structure is sub-optimal and incosequenceleads to a misallocation of resources. Optimal prices for resourceallocationarecompared to the existing price level. The latest issue of The Lakehead University Review (Volume VI-Fall-Winter 1973) contains a paper by Chris Jecchinis on "Technological Change and Socio-Economic Development in North America: Problems and Prospects". Dr. Jecchinis argues that it is nottechnological change and automation that creat acute social and enviornmental problems but the uncontrolled technological change and unbalanced growth which pose a serious threat to the social and economic development of Canada and the United States. He maintains that these problems have become too great and too complex for industry and organized labour to solve alone, and that they require the introduction of non-conventional policies and the coordinated efforts of all interested parties under thedirectionandcontrol of the government. In the same issue of the L. U. Review, G. C. Ruggeri has written a review article on the Economic Council of Canada's Ninth Annual Review: The Years to 1980.

At university, student nurses are usingvideotapetoimprove their method of diagnosis, taking courses in philosophy and going to remote nursing stations to experience health care in a different environment. In practice, nurses are beginning to leave the confines of the hospital to work in Community Health Centres; they are making better use of computers and are helping to relieve the doctors of some of their more repetitive and time-consuming tasks. This article will attempt to show how the education of a nurse today is preparing her for some of the new concepts in the nursing profession. In the medical profession today it is generally felt that the nurse can better serve the community by working in the community rather than in the hospital. One of the first steps in this direction would be the licensing of all nurses, a move which would give them the flexibility to break away from the structure that has to exist in a hospital. With this freedom, more nurses will be going to Community Health Centres where, in a decade or so, about eighty percent of all practicing nurses will find themselves. The Hastings Reports, which supports this concept of Community Health Centres, defines them as" ... an organization and service concept and a financial and administrative integration ofresources to help people to deal humanly and rationally with one another, both receiving and providing health services. It recognizes and gives form to the dynamic interaction necessary between the helper and the helped. It promotes personal and community responsibility." What this means to the patient is that in future instead of becoming accustomed to the "Family Doctor" making the routine check-up in a hospital, he will become accustomed to the "Family Nurse" visiting him in his home. Nurses will do this when people are sick but more importantly ti,_ey will do it when people are not sick. These visits will be part of a preventative health care pro- leges and Universities. The firstlevel would be the R. N. A. The men and women who will be ~- N: A. 's will ~most exclusively be workmg m the hospital environment. They will be working along side the nurses from the Community Colleges. These nurses will also be working in the hospital situation. The third level will be the University graduate. This nurse will not only have the technical skill but, also, the broader understanding of people which will make her better suited for work in the Community. The type of education that a nurse or _nur_sing assistant receives is important as 11 will govern, lo a large degree, whether or not that person will work in the hospital or in the Community. It is obvious then that if there are to be ch~nges in the nursing profession, the educational programmes must also make changes. Traditionally, nurses were trained in a 3 year programme,closely affiliated to a hospital and heavily subsidized by the government. Since 1965, this form of education has been phased out and replaced with c:: a 2 year course under the direction of the r.. Community Colleges. To achieve the goals P of the nursing future however, the emphasis Z must shift from the 2 year level to the bac:§: calaureate level where students are taught more than just thebasicstandards required for registration as a nurse. As most people are award of the capabilities of graduates from the 2 year programme, a close look at the Lakehead UniversitySchoolofNursing will enable one to see the means of achieving some of the aims of nursing.

To help in their understanding ofnormalchild behaviour, the nurses must prepare a critique on what they saw and present it to their classmates. Change will play a large part in the career of a nurse today, so the nurse must be prepared to accept it as a natural phenomenon. As part of that preparation at Lakehead University, the student will see the teacher in a different role. Besides the usual routine of seminars and lectures, on basic data, the teacher's main role will become that of a resource person and advisor. The student will be left mostly on her own. This type of learning encourages new ideas and means of practising and teaching nursing. With this sense of responsibility placed on the student early in her nursing education, she will be better able to develop or adapt to new ideas. An important role for the teacher today is the importance of making courses interesting. If properly motivated, students will be encouraged to look further into a topic and hence benefit themselves for the future. To inspire this ambition at Lakehead University, a number of community-oriented courses are made available to the student. A family study course is offered in which a student follows a mother in her last month of pregnancy and after the birth. She also interacts with the mother of an The "new nurse" will be one who is prepared, at the University Level, to work as a member of a health team, working closely with families in sickness and in health, moving freely between the hospital and the community.

This thesis contains the results of Mr. McLeod's biographical research on 89 Canadian prairie novelists and bibliographical research on 185 Canadian prairie novels.Immediately before coming to Lakehead University, Mr. McLeod was Chairman of the English Department at St. John 's-Ravenscourt School in Winnipeg and also lectured at the University of Manitoba in Canadian Literature. In 1971 he was Visiting Professor of Canadian Literature at the University of Marburg, Germany. Mr. McLeod was born in Sault Ste. Marie and received his early education in that city.

Element In The Prairie Novels Of Freder~ G Several weeks ago Dr. Angus, Dean of the Faculty of Education, met with representatives from a number of local bands. Dr. Angus set the meeting up to look into the criteria for organizing an Indian Teacher Education Programme. Some of the representatives were Cecil Finlayson from Long Lac, Raymond Ningewance from Lac Seu!, Shiela and Roy Michano from Heron Bay and Terry Perrault from Fort Frances. One of the prime objectives of this first meeting was to find a suitable candidate to be the planning specialist. Roy Michano felt that this person should be a local Indian who could speak fluently in the native tongue. Once chosen this person would start immediately to investigate the problems of education for the native peoples. He would talk to the officials at the reservations, the high school teachers and councilors and most importantly the parents and children. Eventually he would piece together a report on his findings and make recommendations to the advisorycommittee. One point that Roy Michano would like to see implemented is the construction of an all-Indian High School with Indian Teachers and Councilors. He felt that this situation would put Indian children at ease and not make them feel ashamed of their cultural background. Both Dr. Angus and the Indian representatives said that they were gratefultothe Donner Foundation for sponsoring this project and that they were very optomistic in being able to achieve the aspirations of many of the Indians in North-Western Ontario. �N.C.R.

Linsay, Chairman of the Lakehead University Biology Departments in other Canadian Universities met in Ottawa on March 21st to 24th and expressed their concern that the quality of teaching and graduate education in their departments is being threatened by increased enrolment and inadequate financial support. During the last six years, total university enrolment in Canada increased by 30 percent, while enrolment in Biology has increased by about 140 percent. The increasing interest in Biology by Canadian students has shown little sign of diminishing. Even during recent years, when university enrolment leveled off in the physical sciences and humanities, interest in Biology continued unabated. Universities across Canada had nearly the same total enrolment in 1971-72 and 1972-73, but in the latter year Biology enrolment still increased by 9 percent. Now, nearly onethird of all students entering Canadian colleges and universities take at least one course in the Biological Sciences. Increasing enrolment in Biology has brought about a crisis in the teaching of Biology at the university level. Numerous solutions are being sought in order to accommodate large classes at a time of rising costs, stabilized numbers of staff, and economizing by the provinces. In spite of the use of modern teaching techniques and the elimination of financial waste, Biology Chairmen expressed concern that these pressures will lead to the overall deterioration of the quality of Biology teaching in Canada, and thatthiswill have an immediate and negative effect on the quality of life of Canadians. Biology is the cornerstone of many applied sciences that require extensive biological training, such as agriculture, medicine, dentistry and other health care programmes.

It starts with very intuitve reasoning, and many examples, to lead the student toward a general, formal, mathematical treatment by synthesizing his observations about the special cases. The teaching method is Socratic, or the asking of leading questions, to cause the student to progress from simple to more complex constructions and, hopefully, to a final general case. The precise topics of the course are not as important as the method the students are encouraged to develop, and topics change each time the course is given. A sampling of this year's topics are; Boolean Algebra, which underlies set theory and the design of computer circuits; Computability, which has applications bothtocomputing machines and abstract mathematics; Nearness Geometry, which replaces traditional ideas of limits and continuity in the calculus; and Probability, which is the mathematical science behind statistics, the treatment of experimental data from any field of science or social science. University Bookstore Used Book Buy-Back As in previous years, the Lakehead University Bookstore will hold a Textbook Buy-Back starting April 16th. Any textbooks in good and re-usable condition (except those going into new editions) which are on the list of texts to be used again in the 1974-75 academic year will be bought back at 50% of the original cost to the owner. This usually means 50% of the publisher's price, butincaseofbooks which were purchased as Used Books, it is 50~.. of the Used Book price paid by the student. This is an opportunity to turn textbooks you no longer require into cash! Arrangements have been made with the Follett College Book Co. to come on campus on April 24th and 25th to buy back many other texts which will NOT be used again on campus next year, although the prices paid will generally be lower than the 50% paid by the L. U. Bookstore. All books bought by the Follet Co. willbeshippedoffcampus, whilethebooksboughtbytheL. U. Bookstore will remain and be resold at 75 % of the original purchase price, thus providing a substantial saving in textbook costs to next year's students. The Bookstore buy-back will continue from April 16th until May 31st, Monday through Friday from 9:00-12:00andfrom 1:00 - 5:00 p.m., while the Follett buyback will beheld oli Wednesday and Thursday, April 24th and 25th ONLY. The L. U. buy-back will be suspended on May 1st, 2nd and 3rd, when the Bookstore will be closed for its annual inventory. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
