At the meeting held on May 31, Dr. Zawadowski was elected Vice-President of the Association. Congratulations and best wishes to Dr.Zawadowski for continuing fruitful work in this area! Finnish Cours_es In direct response to local community need, the Department of Languages will institute courses in Finnish language and culture which could form the foundation for a future degree programme. The courses include elementary Finnish for beginners, intermediate Finnish for those with some background in the language, and a course on Finnish culture which will oe offered in English. Tlie plan has been approved for the coming academic year by the Senate. Local interest in the study of Finnish has been nurtured by Mrs. T. Kohara, who has implemented programmes at Hillcrest and Hammarskjold high schools. At present there are 93 students studying Finnish as a second language in Thunder Bay. Mr. E. Peterson, Chairman of the Finnish Scfiool Committee made an official request to Lakehead University to providecontinuingdevelopment for these students, as well as others in the community. As a result of a recent survey, fifty-four people are already committed to one or more of these courses. Professor And.re Cloutier, acting chairman of the Department of Languages, indicates that Lakehead wnl be the first university in Ca11_ada to in•c1lJde Finnish courses of any kind in its programme. Negotiations are currently underway with the Finnish government, who have indicated their willingness to provide a professor for the courses, and also to underwrite part of his salary. Professor Cloutierfeels that such cooperation �New Appointment Dr. Robert Campbell Joyner has been appointed by the McMaster University Board of Governors as Dean of the Faculty of Business for a term of five and a half years.

The primary objective of the Centre for International Co-operation is to provide rehable information advice, and encouragementtoanyone interested in international involvement, particularly in education and development Towards Cooperation The Centre for International Cooperation has opened in the Lakehead University Mall. It is a non-profit charitable organization, separate from the university, that is filling a void in Thunder Bay. Realizing Thunder Bay's isolation, the Centre hopes that its international work in this city will allow people to expand their minds and participation beyond the confines of Thunder Bay. Lloyd Jones, its executive director, conceived the idea in August of 1971 when he moved here from Sarawak, Borneo. Having served with the Canadian International Development Agencr and the United Church of Canada overseas, loyd has had formal training at McMaster University (B.A.) and the University of the Pacific (M.A. Education Counselling). His master's research programme was on the concept of a "World University". Mr. Lloyd Jones The Centre has already published a "Handbook for Overseas Students' , available free of charge and has arranged short term home stays for several overseas student visitors last summer. It has assisted several overseas students financially and has/rovided fre~ of charge publicity for Lakehea University at several centres around the world. The Centre hopes to initiate a "Mother Peace News" - an international magazine of informal exchange, a twinning programme between Thunder Bay and Borneo, and will continue to make the resource centre in the mall more comprehensive. For your interest, similar centres exist in Hamilton, Toronto, Guelph, Antigonish, Saskatoon, Winnipeg and other cities. �Athletics Notes Howard B.

From The Ministry The Ontario Minister of Colleges and Universities, the Honourable Jack McNie, recently announced a seminar on post-secondary learning to be held at Hart House, University of Toronto, June 11-13, 1973. The purpose of the seminar is to consider the development and co-ordination of all forms of post-secondary learning that aim to meet individual needs in Ontario during the next decade. It will draw up to 400 delegates with a variety of backgrounds from across the province. A $250,000 experimental programme entitled Festival Ontario, has been announced recently by the Honourable Jack McNie. Its aim is to provide local arts festivals with backup resources in the form of displays, demonstration and administrative expertise Jhrough agencies such as the Ontario Science Centre, the Royal Ontario Museum, the Art Gallery of Ontario, the Ontario Arts Council, the Provincial Archives and the Ontario Educational Communications Authority. Provincial support to local museums has been increased to $240,000, double last year's figure. The big increase complies with recommendations in the Report of the Commission on Post-Secondary Education in Ontario. Local museums are expected to play an increasingly imrortant role in the cultural and educational life o Ontarians. Grants to six cultural agencies total $12,366,000, up substantially over the previous year. Agencies include the Ontario Arts Council, the Royal Ontario Museum, the Ontario Heritage Foundation, the McMichael Canadian Collection, the Art Gallery of Ontario and the Royal Botanical Gardens in Hamilton. Papers Read Dr. George K. Fleming, Chairman of the School of Engineering, presented two _papers recently, namely: "Application ofa Small Digital Computer to the Mechanical Pulping Process" with D.K. Alexander, The Great Lakes Paper Company, read to the Second International Symposium on Pulp and Paper Process Control, Montreal, and "Isolating Vibrations in a DS-32 Disc" read to the Digital Equipment Computer Users Society Spring Meeting, Philadelphia. �between Finland and Thunder Bay has a good chance of developing because the local Finnish population of roughly 10,000 is the largest concentration outside the mother country. BA/BSW Programme Dr. William T. Melnyk, Dean of Arts at Lakehead UniversJty announced recently that Deputy Minster of Colleges and Universities Dr. Gordon Parr, recently communicated that the Committee on University Affairs had approved the University's proposal for a Bachelor of Social Work degree programme. This approval is the culmination of plans, research and discussion initiated by the faculty and administration of Lakehead University as far back as 1967. The main argument in favour of such a programme lies in the fact that there are a great number of social workers in Northwestern Ontario who do not hold degrees in social work. It is the primary aim of this particular programme to provide badly needed upgrading for such people. The programme will begin by accepting students already working as social workers in Northwestern Onta.rio. Courses will be offered in the evening, and during the summer and_ i_n_tersessional terms for part-time students. In add1t1on, the 1;>rogramme will admit a small number of full-time students who display promise of being employed as social workers in Northwestern Ontario. Basically, four categories of people wil_l be eligible for admission. The first category will be students enrolling in the first year of the four year degree programme and completing all the requirements for the BA/BSW. Secondly, thosewho have already completed B.A. studies may enroll to complete the additional courses necessary to reach the Bachelor of Social Work level. A third category will include students transferring from studies in other disciplines. It is anticipated that graduates of the Social Services diploma at Confederation College will be awarded credits toward the BA/BSW degree, according totheaccomplishments of the applicants. The final category includes people already employed as social workers and who wish to upgrade their qualifications. Recent surveys have sfiown that demand among the latter for a programme of this type is very great. Admission to the programme will be decided on the basis of each applicant's qualification_s. _This will be accomplished through an adm1ss1ons screening committee composed of the Prog_ram~e Director, Dean of Arts, Registrar of t~e University and two senior social workers from the community who may or may not be involved in teaching or adv{Jing in the programme. Existing requirements for adult admission and admission-into the Faculty of Arts at Lakehead University will apply. Full credit will be given for professional and related experience. For further information or application forms, please write or phone the Registrar, Lakehead University, 345-2121, Extension 269. Applicants will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis for the first course, scheduled to begin this fall.

In-House Operation Editor's Note: Mr. Ted Broughton, Director of Physical Services recently requested that the following note be included: Over the past several days, a good number of Faculty members and people in the Administration have inquired as to how the gym floor in the C.J. Sonders Building is brought up and mode to look so beautiful. It is a pleasure to hove everyone advised through your media that the floor is roughed, finished and stained by members of the Housekeeping group of the Physical Services Deportment of whom we ore very proud. The Gym generally is closed for a week because there is great detail in the necessary scrubbing, rinsing, the use of steel wool and the proper application of a gym finish. This has to be done twice to get the proper build-up and hardness for the use this floor gets during the year's activities. mee~ings Reclassification The Association of Professional Engineers of the Province of Ontario has recently extended its clo_ssifications of Professional Engineers by instituting the designation of specialists in a number of fields.

Consequently, the Council passed a resolution which calls for the university shown asfirstchoice on a student's application on May 18 (the collectively agreed first date for offers of admission) to retain the formula grant for that student even if the student subsequently accepts another university's offer and receives an entrance scholarship at that university.

Entrance Scholarships The Council of Ontario Universities hasdiscussed at length the recent trend for universities to introduce new or expanded programmes of entrance scholarships. Although there was general support for the desirability of attracting to the universities more students of high ability, it was recognized that entrance scholarships could have the desirable effect of causing students to alter their first choice of university, thus denying the original university both good students and the government income attached to them. Such a situation was viewed as representing an undesirable and unnecessary competition which would aim at in- Gord Garvie of Lakehead University, Manager of the 1973 Canadian Wrestling Team which will compete in Moscow August 15-25, has announced that the team will train at Lakehead Universitr from July 28 to August 9.

Suzuki Method The Faculty of Education Auditorium was the site of a rare talent education demonstration on Monday evening, June 11. At that time, Mrs. Marian Moody and her five-year-old daughter Lisa, pictured below, explained and illustrated the Suzuki Method of early child training for the violin. Mrs. Moody holds a Bachelor of Music Education degree from the University of Toronto, and has been involved in thetalenteducationprogramme in Saskatoon for a number of years. She explained how this approach to early musical training grew out of the philosophy of the great Japanese violinist, Shinichi Suzuki, who wrote, shortly after the Second World War, that "All human beings are born with great potentials: each individual has within himself the capacity for developing to a very high level. Education begins from the day of birth. We must recognize the amazing power ~f the infant to absorb everything in his surroundings and add to his knowledge. If attention is not given to early infancy, how can the child's original power be developed?" · . ·Lisa and Mrs. Moody· . The talent education programme based on this philosophy entails the joint training of parents and their three-or four-year-old children. While the mother, in private and group sessions, becomes familiar°with the fundamentals of handling a standard violin, her son or daughter is given a bow and styrofoam replica of a violin with which to become familiar. After a few such sessions, the child is given a miniature violin ranging in size from J/l0to J/4 the volume of a standard instrument. From then on, mother and child learn together. Suzuki's faith in the tremendous learning capacity of young children becomes apparent in a few short weeks when the child begins to learn faster than his parent. Mrs. Moody leaves soon for demonstrations of the Suzuki Method in Europe. 0 n Li bra ry Services The School of Library Technology hosted a Workshop on Library Services in Health Care Institutions, June 14, 15 and 16 which was sponsored by District Hospital Council No. 12, Ontario Hospital Association, Ontario Medical Association and the Registered Nurses' Association of Ontario.

No approach consistent with this aim whether concerned with the contribution of students the organization of teacher time, the de0 mands of research and administration, or the use of technical devices such as TV or computers is regarded as outside the scope of the program. · The Director has expressed the hope that all members of the university community - students, staff, and administrators - will take an active interest in the program. Letters to the Director reporting activities which relate to instructional development, and suggesting priorities will be welcomed. �hi lirary Use W88KI~ Camp First evencs For the first time in Northwestern Ontario there will be a special summer camp for children with Learning Disabilities, Mrs. Janet Tothill, President of the Thunder Bay Chapter of the Ontario Association for Children With Learning Disabilities, announced recently. This Association which helps children with Learning Disabilities is conducting a campaign to raise funds to finance the project through public subscription. The Camp will operate during the last two weeks of August. In describing the activities that will take place Dr. J.H. Widdop, Programme Director, states that a major part of the programme will be taken up with specially designed exercises to improve coordination and eye-hand movements. Such exercises have been found helpful in the treatment of Learning Disabilities. Dr. Widdop, who is Director of Physical Education at Lakehead University, conducts a similar exercise class throughout the winter months. Located at the Anglican Church Camp at Sandstone Lake, the camp will beabletoaccommodate fifty children, twenty-five during each week. The child with a Learning Disability associates school with some very unpleasant experiences, resisting learning in a school situation. Mrs. Doreen Kronick of the Canadian Association says, "In the camp situation the child is more relaxed than in the school atmosphere, and a child who normally resists walking along the walking board will follow his cabinmotes across a fallen log. A youngster who would neither print nor spell in school may proudly label the things he has found in the woods."

Bartley In 1934, he obtained his B.Sc. from the University of Manitoba, followed by an M.Sc. in 1935. Thereafter he lectured in geology at the University of Toronto, where he earned his Ph.D., granted in 1940. From 1940 to 1947, he was employed as production manager at the Steep Rock Iron Mines. He accepted the appointment as principal of LakeTechnical Institute in 1947. One of the pressing needs in the development of Canadian basketball is to start the players at a younger age. The Lakehead University Basketball Camp, under the direction of Nor'Wester Coach Howard Lockhart, will be offering mini basketball for youngsters ages 8 to 12, boys and girls included. The program, which commences August 20, employs small balls and lower goals to suit the needs of the smaller plarers. The aim is to provide a program that wil develop the overall motor skills, give them an idea of what the game is about, and to develop an interest in basketball and sports asawhole. The program will include lead-up games and activities which will develop the basic skills of the participants. Individual attention and instruction will be stressed. In 1952, Dr. Bartley left the Institute to set up his own consulting firm. To this day he remains president of M. W. Bartley and Associates, Ltd. The mini program will begin at 9:00 a.m. daily and end at 4:30 p.m. following a swim in the Lakehead University pool. A visitors' day will end the camp at noon on Saturday. In the fall of 1972, Dr. Bartley returned to the classroom at Lakehead University, determined to promote respect for the practical applications Persons requiring more information or application forms may phone 345-2121, ext. 650 or ext. 213 at the University. �~!j: t 1.

In honour of the occasion, and in recognition ·of Senator Paterson's outstanding contribution to Lakehead University as its founding Chancellor, 1965-1971, the University will confer upon him the degree of Doctor of Civil Law (honoris causa) in a Special Convocation Ceremony at 4:00 p.m., 2 August, 1973, in his home at 500 Wilbrod Street, Ottawa, Ontario. Although Senator Paterson has not held permanent residence in Thunder Bay since accepting his Senate appointment in 1940, his presence continues to be felt in the imposing grain elevators and massive shipping industry which he was most instrumental in founding since first arriving in the Lakehead in 1908. Born in Portage la Prairie, Manitoba, 3 August, 1883, Senator Paterson was educated in local public schools and at the Wellesley School in Toronto. He began his career with the Manitoba Railway and Canal Company in 1897, later joining the Great Northern Railway of Canada as telegrapher and rising to the position of purchasing agent before resigning in 1903 to go into the grain business with his father. In 1908, he founded and organized N.M. Paterson and Company, Limited, now succeeded by N.M. Paterson and Sons,, Limited, owners and operators of large numbers of grain elevators in Ontario, Manitoba and Saskatchewan, aswell as many freighters on the Great Lakes. In addition to his business accomplishments, Senator Paterson has been responsible for considerable public contribution in Thunder Bay. He was alderman of the City of Fort William in 1919. He helped organize the Canadian Club and the Fort William Ski Club. He donated his home to McKellar Hospital in Fort William and a Cobalt Bomb Installation to Port Arthur General Hospittal. Even in his absence he has continued his active citizenship to the point of donating a park and municipal parking area. VOLUME 6 NUMBER 6 JULY 26, 1973 Since accepting his appointment to the Senate in 1940, he has continued his strong citizenship in Ottawa. His numerous donations to Carleton University have been instrumental in the development of many new buildings, programmes, and student awards. He has served as a member of the Board of Governors at Carleton since 1947. That University honoured him with an. honorary doctorate in 1959. Senator Paterson continues to have far-flung business and community interests and responsibilities. He is president of Western Engineering Service, board chairman of the Royal Edward Hotel, past-president of both the Canadian Club of Canada and the Victorian Order of Nurses. He is a patron of the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters, as well as the Orpheus Operatic Society. He was appointed Knight of the Order of St. John by King George VI in 1945. He married Eleanor MacDonald in 1915, and has six children. The Lakehead University Board of Governors, Senate, Faculty Association and Student Union will take an active part in the Special Convocation Ceremony, to register the appreciation of all segments of the University for the many years of support Senator Paterson has so unselfishly afforded Lakehead University. New Appointment F.X. Shea, Chairman of the Board of the Lake Superior Association of Colleges and Universities, has announced the appointment of Dr. Donald Fouts, Illinois educator, as Executive Director effective August 15, 1973. Prior to accepting the appointment Dr. Fouts was head of the Department of Higher and Continuing Education and Assistant Superintendant of Public Instruction for the state of Illinois. Earlier he held teaching and administrative posts at Western Illinois University and Northern Illinois University. Fouts earned his B.A. degree at the University of Chicago and his Ph.D. in political science at the University of Minnesota. He is a member of the American Association for Higher Education, the Adult Education Association of the United States and the American Political Science Association. He is married and has three child- �ren. The Lake Superior Association of Colleges and Universities was formally organized at a two-day meeting held at Lakehead University, Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada, in October of 1972. According to Shea, who is also President of the College of St. Scholastica, the purpose of the Association is to develop coorerative links among the institutions which wil improve academic programs, expand educational opportuntties, and increase the efficiency of institutional operations. The Executive Director will be responsible for planning and coordinating these joint endeavours. Mental Practice Studied Mr. Bob Elvin and Mr. Eero Vuorinen who are teachers at Hammarskjold High School recently completed a study entitled "The Effects of Mental Practice on Motor Performance and Learning". These teachers completed a course given by the Lakehead University B.P.H.E. Department and headed by Professor Gorden T. Garvie in the area of Human Motor Performance and Learning. Well, what about mental practice and rehearsal and how does it affect performance and learning? Elvin and Vuorinen cite studies by Vandell (1943) and Twining (1949) which indicate that mental practice does in fact aid performance, although learning was not specifically examined. Other studies by Clark (1960) and Start(1960) have found that learning has been positively affected by mental rehearsal. The two teachers examined the effects of mental practice on performance and learning on the labyrinth game. This game may be found in novelty stores and requires manual manipulations of dials in order to move a steal ball around a maze on a moveable platform. Two groups of people we defined: Group A (control)This group practiced for 15 trials with no mental practice; Group B (experimental) - This group practiced for 15 times but with trials three to thirteen under conditions of mental practice. A trial was defined as practice until an error was committed at which time the subjects r eceived a thirty second rest break. This is where the main practice difference occurred. The control group (a) read names and p ho ne nu mbers out of the phone book to occupy themselves while the experimental group (b) observed an expert practising the task and mentally rehearsed the desired physical movements. Several scores were calculated once all the subjects were tested. (a) An initial score, the average of trail one and two indicated no significant difference between the groups to start with. (b) A performance score, the average of trials 3 13, was the second calculation made which also indicated no significant differenc.e between the two groups although the experimental group performed slightly better than the control group. (c) the final calculation, that of a learning score (average of trials 14 or 15 minus the average trials of 1 and 2), resulted in a significant difference between the two groups. The mental practice group learned more than the control group. These results then support the findings of Clark (1960) and Start (1960). Mental practice of a physical activity does seem to aid in learning. Mental practice seems to aid the performance as according to Vandell (1943), Twining (1949) and others. This type of work has a definite and logical application to teaching and coaching. For example, we all know that periodic rest breaks aid performance as fatigue, both physical and mental, may dissipate. Why not then, to increase learning efficiency, interpolate mental rehearsal during actual physical practice rest breaks? This is logical as time is saved and the participants learn at faster rates. Let's make direct application to hockey, young boys are being instructed on how to perform the slap shot. They practice the skill physically until they become tired. The coach orders a rest break while he demonstrates again and the boys continue to practice but now mentally. Then they return to physical practice. Don't you think learning rates would increase? The results of this study can only give insight into coaching since the task used doesn't even remotely resemble hockey although it is a physical activity. We may now ask what is the best combination of physical and mental practice for hockey? Does this vary with skill level and are there differences depending upon the sport? These and many other questions are asked. In other areas such as feedback or knowledge of �results, is feedback about performance essential for learning? When should it be given and in what form? In order to efficiently instruct srorts it is most beneficial to study the area o human motor performance. For all you amateur coaches out there, sure you're pressed for time and you coach because in some cases nobody else would do it. But, by examining these basic problems you will enjoy your teaching more, receive greater satisfaction, the participants will become more skilled and you as an instructor will be admired more for simply throwing the puck on the ice, umpiring a scrub game of baseball oftentimes called a practice or simply getting boys together to wrestle with no thought of detail. Keep up the good work you are doing while at the same time improving your teaching methods. Watch For It Portions of language training sessions in the regular French and English Immersion Progammes at Lakehead University will appear on local Cable Television in the coming weeks.

New Officers As of July 5, 1973, the student executive for the Summer Session Society of Lakehead University is as follows: President, Lynda Pettit; First Vice-President, John A. Butler; Vice-President, Rick Potter; Director of Finance, Laurie Fraser; Secretary, Carol Crabe. Interstellar Editor Dr. J.S. Griffith has been appointed to the Editorial Board of the Journal of Interstellar Studies. This new journal will cover th.a field of scientific research into interstellar communication and exploration. Topics such as biological and biochemical investigations into the evolution and means of detecting planets; interstellar propulsion methods and spacecraft; radio or other techniques for contacting extraterrestial civilizations, if such exist; the probability of other intelligent life in the universe, will be included in the journal. In the 1930's the British Interplanetary Society was pursuing the idea of lunar and planetary missions when such ideas were unfashionable. Over the past twentyJears we have seen manned lunar missions an various planetary probes become a reality, and the Society has decided to raise its sights by initiating this new journal and move into a realm which at present may appear to be science fiction, but which may yield discoveries which would remove the last vestiges of egocentricism from the human race. At one time the Earth was considered to be at the centre of the universe, then it was the turn of the Sun to be thought of as central. Eventually we discovered ourselves tobe inhabiting a small planet orbiting a mediocre star in the outer regions of an average galaxy. At present the only unique aspect left to our planet is the presence of life, and reputable scientists haveputforward the proposition that life spores may exist on Mars. Other scientists have discovered planets around other stars, but the existence of life forms elsewhere is as yet undecided. �for Library Use Olly W88KI~ even~s Thursday July 26 -Canadian Chamber Ensemble, 8:30 p.m. University Centre Theatre.

Library's New "Tattle Tape" Over the past year losses by reason of unrecorded borrowings and non-return of items by a few readers have continued to cause difficulties and dissatisfaction to the majority of library users and much extra work for library staff. In order to cut these "unofficial borrowings", an elec:tronic check will be instituted as early as possible in the new academic year to replace the personal check by commissionaire at the exit. This will call the circulation staff's attention to any material being taken out of the library which has not been officially recorded. The system is produced by 3M Company and is known as 'Tattle Tape'. It has been introduced with good results in a large number of libraries including Guelph University, University of Minnesota at Duluth, State University College, New Paltz, N.Y., Fanshawe College, London, Ontario. We are sure our library users will accept it for what it actually is - a necessary check to ensure that the stock of the library is maintained in circulation and is available for use by all. Commencing Monday, September 17, 1973 Library Hours will be as follows: Monday through Friday 8:30 a.m. to 12 midnight Saturday 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Sunday 2:00 p.m. to l 0:00 p.m. LU Bookstore The Lakehead University Bookstore stocks all required textbooks for courses offered by the University, as well as an extensive selection of recommended and peripheral reading material.

Student Awards The Government of Ontario announced on April 13th 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 parental contribution tables have been modified to help 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. Adependent 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 consecut~c 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. Modified Group 'A' Students Students who, prior to the first month of registration: (a) have completed three successful years of study at an eligible post-secondary institution; or (b) have spent three periods of twelve consecutive months as a full-time member of the work force; or (c) have a combination of successful academic years and periods of twelve consecutive months in the work force totalling three years. are assessed in the same manner as Group A students except that an additional basic deduction is made against the gross parental income in the need assessment process. For Group A Modified applicants with three years work/education history th€ additional deduction is $5000;forthose with four or more years, it is $6000. Aid to Part-time Students A pilot program for loans to part-time students is now being offered thro1Jgh the co-operation of the Ontario government and certain Canadian banks. Loons are interest-bearing from the date of negotiation. Reparment commences 10 months ofter t~e date o negotiation or 2 months after the end of the student's course whichever occurs first. A minimum of $100 to a 11aximum of $600 may be borrowed. Applications for assistance and counselling relation to a student's eligibility are available from the staff in the Deon of Student's Office.

LU Flier Races to Strong Finish Back in the days when flying was a risky, seat-ofthe-pants adventure, the men who flew were often called (among other things) "intrepid". That term is seldom used today as flying has progressed to the point of mechanical boredom. But here, at LU, there lurks at least one "intrepid" flier. His name is Guy Davis - a computer centre staff member. Guy piloted a fabric-covered CHAMPION CITABRIA to a seventh place finish in the recent Great Burlington Centennial Seaplane Race. The GBCS Race - the first race of its kind held in Canada contained three "legs": Burlington to Kenora, Kenora to Ottawa and Ottawa to Burlington. Guy, who has a commercial license and instructor rating, logged 25 airborne hoursduringthethr_ee day event - including a gruelling 14 hour stint �on the first leg - and garnered the Minaki Lodge (Kenora) Tivphy as first leg winner. The single engine, two-seater CHAMPION CITABRIA - originally built in 1935 and now owned by the Thunder Bay Flying Club - has no instruments except a compass. Consequently, Guy sight-flew the course to his seventh place finish (out of 48 entrants) and picked up a 1,000 dollar cheque for his efforts - not quite enough to cover expenses but then, "intrepid" fliers like Guy Davis don't do it for the money. Finnish Lecturer Arrives Miss Maija Kainulainen, a Helsinki University graduate student, has joined LU's Language Department. She will lecture at the newly instituted Finnish language and culture courses being offered here. LU - in direct response to a request from the community - is the first Canadian University to include Finnish courses in its programme. The request for courses of this nature came as a result of the work of Mrs. T. Kohara, who has implemented Finnish programmes at Hillcrest and Hammarskjold high schools, and Mr. E. Peterson, Chairman of the Finnish School Committee. At present there are 93 students studying Finnish as a second language in Thunder Bay. The LU courses will allow these students, as well as other members of the community, to continue their studies. The local Finnish population of approximately l 0,000 is the largest in Canada. Negotiations were undertake'n with the Finnish government who have provided Miss Kainulainen as a lecturer for the course. New Liason Officer Mrs. Susan De Haas was installed, in early August, as LU's Liaison Officer. She, along with other members of the University Information Programme, is currently travelling to high schools across the province where she explains LU and area to interested students and guidance staff. Mrs. De Haas received her B.A. in French from the University of Guelph and her Honours in French and English from Lakehead University. As well, she has completed her Masters (English) to thesis here. Students Shine For Cystic Fibrosis LU nurses and foresters got together and staged a Shinerama last Friday, September 21st to raise money for Cystic Fibrosis. They, along with other LU students, brushed and polished their way to $4,454 dollars for the cause - leaving no shoe unshined in their efforts to make the most out of a couple of feet. Committee On University Affairs At LU The Committee on University Affairs will be meeting in the LU Senate Chamber on October 16. The Committee, which acts as a Government ad- visory body, is, this year, moving across the province from university to university - eliciting answers to questions, covering a broad spectrum of university related affairs, previously submitted to each university. A brief is presently being readied to answer the Committee's questions about LU. It will also cover several topics of special interest to this university not covered by the Committee's inquiries; including sections dealing with extra formula funding, LU's extension programme, early university entrance for exceptional children and the Confederation College/ LU co-operative BA/BSW programme. World Report Premieres World Report began its new season on CTNO-TV Channel Seven last Tuesday, September 25th at 7:30 p.m. Hosted by LU's Dr. Chris Jecchinis and Dr. E. Zimmerman, the programme, which will be a weekly feature, deals with national and international news. This live presentation features audience participation by telephone. Combined Biology Field Trip During the week of August 6, Dr. Ozburn of the Biology Department participated-along with professors from Wisconsin State University - in the presentation of a wilderness Biology course. This course, available to students of the newly formed Lake Superior Association of Colleges and Universities was held on Isle Royale. Students and staff rendezvoused at Grand Portage for the trip to Washington Harbor on the vessle "Wenonah". Upon arrival and subsequent signing in with the ranger, subgroups backpacked to various points of biological interest at the western end of the park. Dr. Ozburn's group hiked the Minong Ridge Trail to Lake Desar where time was spent observing moose feeding habits. Other animal and plant life was observed along the route. On the return trip to Washington Harbor, a side trail to Hugginnin Cove was explored. In addition to the wild life observed, a number of old copper mines - likely the original reason for the trails, were examined. To earn their credit, the students were required to keep a log of all activities including observations arising from the discussion on the wilderness areas visited. Upon return these logs were then transcribed into a report for submission to obtain a grade. Dr. Ozburn hopes that in the future, Lakehead University students may have the opportunity of participating in courses of this nature as a result of our involvement in the consortium.

ALL STUDENTS WHO WILL BE GRADUATING THIS YEAR ARE URGED TO REGISTER WITH THE STUDENTPLACEMENT OFFICE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE AS MOST ON-CAMPUS RECRUITING WILL OCCUR BETWEEN NOW AND CHRISTMAS. A SCHEDULE IS POSTED ON THE BULLETIN BOARD OUTSIDE THE OFFICE AND IT WOULD BE TO YOUR ADVANTAGE TO BE AWARE OF WHAT OPPORTUNITIES ARE AVAILABLE. Parking Committee The new members of the Parking Committee are Dr. N.A. Weir, appointed by the Lakehead University Faculty Association; Mr. J.D.M. Robson, appointed by the Lakehead University Students' Union; and Mrs. Geraldine Service, appointed by the President to represent the Administrative Staff. Members of the Committee normally serve for a two-year term. The Parking Committee has the authority to establish and amend parking regulations, to review and decide on appeals, and to recommend parking fees to the Board of Governors for ifs approval. The parkingfeestructurewhichwas recommended by the last Committee andapprovedbytheBoard of Governors is as follows: (i) For permits valid from October 1st, 1973 to August 31st, 1974 Faculty/Staff Vehicle $15.00 Full-time Student Vehicle $15.00 Residence Student Vehicle$15.00 Part-time Student Vehicle $ 5.00 Motorcycle, scooter, etc. $ 5.00 Visitor's Vehicle $15 .00 (Unlimited entry) (ii) For permits valid from May 1, 1974 to August 31, 1974, the fee is $5.00. (iii) For permits valid from July 1, 1974 to August 31, 1974, the fee is $2.50. �(iv) For a temporary visitor's permit, valid for the date issued, the fee is 25¢. The increase in fees is intended to offset increases in salaries and in charges for electricity and contracted services (e.g. snow removal). Parking must be a self-supporting operation. The 1972-73 year of operation resulted in a deficit which has had to be carried forward. The 1973/74 Traffic and Parking Regulations come into effect on September 1, 1973. Parking permits for 1973/74 are required by October 1, 1973. Copies of the Traffic and Parking Regulation and Applications for permits are available from the Securty Office. Some of the highlights of the 1973/74 Traffic and Parking Regulations include: i) unrestricted parking (i.e. all permits) in the ot near the Regional School of Nursing Building, the lot between the library and the Residences and the lot beside the Centennial Building. In the past, the Regulations provided for each lot to be restricted to Faculty and Staff or to Students. (ii) parking in the Agoro Circle is restricted to vehicles with temporary visitors' permits. (iii) the parking permits are backtothetype to be affixed to the inside of the window. (iv) "wheel blocks" will continue to be in use. Cancellation of parking privileges will result from damage to or unauthorized removal of a "wheel block." I Co-operative Library System The June issue of C.O.U.'s Monthly Review reported that C.O.U. has approved the establishment of a Co-operative Library System for the fourteen provincially assisted Ontario Universities. The main activities of this system would be: 1. The creation of a Union Catalogue or Union Data Bank of holdings of Ontario University Libraries designed to provide a variety of bibliographical and processing functions more efficiently, easily and hopefully more economically than is possible at present. 2. To investigate the feasibility of Depository Library, i.e. a centralised store for the deposit of little used material which would be available on loan to any of the libraries concerned, and to survey the cost of such a depository, and the possible resulting savings in capital expenditure. 3. To establish an office for the Ontario University Libraries Co-operative System with a Director who would act as the pivot of the system and provide the necessary co-ordination of effort and provide the necessary co-ordination of effort. The office would act as a centre for information both on the system and on more general library matters. 4. To continue existing co-operative schemes already launched by co-operation between two or more libraries and to develop these. They include a Government Document project, a Union List of Serials project, a Subject Authority project and a Map project. A Monograph Demonstration rroject is proposed to examine the possibility o such a province- wide Union Data Bank and its associated services. Lakehead is not one of the six in the experiment but will stand to benefit from the lessons learned from it. If it is successful and shows that the service can be extended to all of the university libraries the advantages could be farreaching. C.O.U. has now announced the appointment of the Director of the Co-operative System. He is Dr. Ralph Stierwalt, Assistant Director of Libraries/ Processing Division, University of Western Ontario. In the coming year Dr. Stierwalt will devote only a limited part of his time to the work of the Office under a secondment arrangement but will take overfull-time in 1974. Assisting Dr. Stierwalt during the initial year will be Mr. Larry Porter, Assistant Librarian for Systems nnd Development, University of Guelph, serving on a secondment basis until June, 1974. Credit Union Notice All Lakehead University employees are reminded that they are eligible to be members of the Thunder Bay Educational Employees' Credit Union Limited which serves employees and relatives of employees of all educational institutions in the Lakehead area. T.B.E.E.C.U. has recently moved into new premises at Suite C, Ruttan Block, 4 Court Street, Thunder Bay "P" (opposite Eaton's). Office hours are 1:45 p.m. to 5:45 p.m. weekdays. The Secretary-Manager is Mr. Dave Joyal and the phone number is 344-2233. The Credit Union offers facilities for interest-earning savings and low cost loans. Payroll deduction is available to University members who complete application formalities before the end of September. Further information may be obtained from University officers of the Credit Union: Walter Bilyk MB-1043B (ext. 407), Dave Elliot MB-1061 (ext. 438) or Tom Harris RB-1011 {ext. 303). Published Dr. Pradip Sarbadhikari, Department of Political Studies, has returned from his sabbatical leave during ·which he published a book under the title "New Nationalism and International Society" (World Press). This volume studies the trends towards conflict both within Western and Third World states focussing on contemporary movements towards international co-operation suggested by recent developments in global diplomacy. Essentially, the book investigates the paradox of nationalism as ennunciated by Karl Deutsch "while nationalism has grouped people apart from each other, at the same time it is preparing them for a more thorough going world wide unity than has ever been seen in human history." Dr. Sarbadhikari also published a chapter entitled "Towards a Foreign Policy of Bangladesh" in a volume called "West Bengal and Bangladesh. Perspectives from 1972", by Michigan State Universtiy, which also contains contributions by Stephen Clarkson (Toronto), Richard Tabora (Harvard), and Barrie Morrison (U.B.C.). �' Dr. Brian J.

Thetheme of the Seminar this yeor was the "Optimal Control Theory and its Applications". Mr. Nicolaou's participation was funded by the Canadian Mathematical Congress. Psychology Note Two members of the Psychology Department of Lakehead University participated in The American Psychological Association's 81 st Meeting held in Montreal, Quebec on August 27 to 31st. Dr. Jim Evans read a paper entitled "A possible relationship between rivalry and impending social comparison". Mr. Arieh Bonder is second author of this paper and is presently a graduate student at Lakehead University in the Department of Psychology. Dr. Ed. Bauman read a paper entitled "Input and output interference in schizophrenic short-term memory". Mr. Eugene Kolisnyk is second author of this paper and is a graduate of Lakehead University in the Department of Psychology. Language Department David W. Lewis, Associate Professor of Modern Languages, returns to the Department of Languages after a sabbatical year spent in France In June 1973, the University of Paris (Sorbonne) awarded Professor Lewis a mention tres honorable for his doctoral theses on the 19thcentury French poet Verlaine. In his study, Poesie et conscience chez Paul Verlaine, Professor Lewis examines the creative processes of a poet who, with Baudelaire, Mallarme and Rimbaud, became a hero of the Symbolist movement. Verlaine's work is diverse. Its numerous variants and his well-documented life show that, both as man and as artist, he sometimes sought to create a fa~ade, to delude himself and his reader. His finest work, with its characteristic musicality and fragile evocative imagery, demonstrates superb craftsmanship, yet retains a na'ive, spontaneous quality based on a poignant search for clues to the enigma of existence. Apart from his teaching and research, David Lewis will be co-operating with Alain Nabarro in production of the Thunder Bay television programme in French, Dans le Sil/on des Voyageurs, for which federal and provincial grants were recently awarded. The programme will be shown weekly on Channel 7. Philosophical Appointment Professor R.C.S. Ripley of the Department of Philosophy was elected to the Board of Directors of the Canadian Philosophical Association at its Annual Congress at Queen's University, June 4-8, 1973, where he delivered a paper, "A Theory of Volition". lnJuly hewasappointedtothe Board of RefereesofpapersfortheC.P.A.1974Congress in Toronto.

LU Alumni Lakehead University Alunmi cordially invites all faculty, staff, potential 73-74 graduates and especially students who will be graduating during the 1973 Fall Convocation, to attend the first Annual Oktoberfest on October 5, at 9 p.m., in the Main Cafeteria. Tickets may be obtained at the L.U.S.U. office or by telephoning the Alumni office at extension 732 between 12 noon and 4 p.m. culmination of the Polish commemorations of the 500'th anniversary of the birth of Copernicus. The particular set of meetings that Dr. Griffith attended was concerned with the stability of small stellar systems and of the solar system. He presented a paper on escape and .capture conditions for the n-body problem, dealing with equations from which the possibility of the escape of a particular body (star or planet) from a system of n such bodies or its capture by n other bodies can be decided. At the seminar it was pointed out that such theoretical equations are of great benefit to those astronomers engaged in computer aided simulations of the orbits of bodies such as asteroids, stellar clusters or galacies. These astronomers need a set ofcriteriatodecidewhether particular bodies have really escaped from or been captured by the system of n bodies, or it, after many more hours of expensive computing time (equivalent to perhaps millions of years of real time), the apparent escape or capture would prove to be false. To the excess computing time has to be added the limited region of space that can be simulated within the computer, and less precise criteria than those derived by Dr. Griffith are already in use by astronomers. Dr. Griffith was elected to membership in the International Astronimical Union. m,e eY.!O September 30 Wednesday October 3 Q . ~ Te<hnidan, A,so<~tio, will meet at 7:30 p.m. in the Library Technology Departmental LAB Room L-5022. All graduates and students are invited toattend -a proposal regarding a non-credit AV course for graduates will be discussed. Board of Governors Meeting, SenateChamber, 4:00 p.m. Russian Visitor Dr. Mikhail A. Semikhatov, a Senior Research Scientist with the Geological Institute, Academy of Sciences of the USSR visited the Geology Department during July.

A variety of services are provided by the computer centre for academic computer users. In particular Mr. Watson (MB1040, ext 383) and Mr. Davis (MB1039, ext 316) together constitute the Academic Computer Services group. They are available during the hours of 9:00 a.m. - 12:00 noon and 1 :00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m. for consultation by anyone requiring information or assistance. At least one copy of an academic user's guide produced by this group is located in each department either with the secretary or one of the computer users in that department. This guide gives detailed information on all computer services available. This article constitutes a summary of that information. Some of our users have acquired the knowledge to program the computer themselves, but many others use services which require no knowledge of the computer. Besides the consultation service, these include; 1) Computer marking of objective multiple choice tests. 2) Analysis of surveys - here the user should consult with academic computer services on the design of a survey before hand. 3) Statistical analysis of data - a wide variety of programs are available. 4) Production of maps and graphs. 5) Solution of a variety of numerical analysis problems. 6) Assistance with the use of specialized programs or systems a user himself acquires from another institution. 7) A program writing service in which specialized programs will be written or modified to solve a user problem or analyse his data. 8) Use of the APL Terminal system as a quick and easy replacement for tedious hand calculations. 9) Teaching courses provided from time to time if there is demand. However, a computer assisted instruction package is conveniently constantly available to teach the easily learned APL computer language The user who wishes to program himself can also use the consulting service which includes: 1) Fully supported consulting service on the following languages: (a) FORTRAN IV for: (b) i) WATFIV fast compiler ii) IBM G and H compilers APL �-2- 2) (c) 360 Assembler language for: (d) i) IBM F Assembler ii) SPASM teaching system 360 Job Control Language Fully supported consulting service on the following systems: (a) (b) (c) (d) (e) (f) 3) CSMP package for the solution of simulation problems. and differential equations Scientific Subroutine package containing over 200 subroutines for common numerical and statistical problems Graph Plotter Routines Statistical Packages A variety of APL packages Conversational Remote Job Entry A partially supported consulting service (restriction imposed by manpower limitations) on the following languages: COBOL (WATBOL fast compiler) PL/1 (PL/C fast compiler) SNOBOL In addition the experienced user may request special subroutines to be written for him, use the manuals, texts and journals kept in the computer centre library and take more advanced courses as offered by the computer centr~. However, with only 2 members of the Academic Computer Services group, all these services have to be offered on a first come first served basis. The operations group is responsible for all equipment and processing. It offers the following services: 1) A keypunching service. Coding forms can be obtained from the head keypunch operator in room MB1047. 2) A processing service whereby jobs left at the control room window in room MB1047 may be collected when processed from the same place within 2-24 hours (except on weekends). The computer centre provides over 100 hours of this service each week. 3) A fast turn around service provided in room MB1049 whereby users may enter their own jobs and receive results within a short period of time. A student is on hand from September to March to assist new users. There are some restrictions on the types of jobs which can use this service. 4) Conversational Remote Job Entry from our terminal in room MB1049 5) 15 typewriter terminals in room MB1049 for use with the APL system �-3- 6) 3 dial up terminals (connected to the computer via an ordinary telephone) 2 of which are located in the Centennial Building and one is usually located in the computer centre area 7) Keypunches and a card sorter in room MB1058 for individual use 8) A library for the storage of computer tapes 9) Other special services are available through the Control Supervisor in room MB1049A (e.g. bursting, decolating, interpreting, special control of computer input and output, mark sense input interpreting, etc.) I can only conclude by suggesting that any potential user contact one of the Academic Computer Services group for advice as to how to begin. THE 3rd ONTARIO UNIVERSITIES' COMPUTING CONFERENCE TORONTO, February 24th &25th, 1972 The theme of the 3rd Ontario Universities' Computing Conference held on February 24th and 25th was "The Contribution of the Computer to the Educational Process". There was evidence of some very healthy contributions being made in Ontario, in specific Electrical Engineering, Business Administration, System Dynamics and Medical Science projects. However, for those of us who had not seen it before, the most stimulating experience was probably watching a demonstration of the University of Illinois PLATO computer-assisted instruction system. The terminal used in this system was a technological breakthrough which has made computer-assisted instruction an economic proposition. With a new expanded system a figure of 50 cents per student hour is anticipated - including all hardware, processing and communications costs together with author royalties. After a twelve year history of credit courses taught by computer-assisted instruction at the University of Illinois very sophisticated teaching programs are now being produced. At least three speakers stressed the educational advantages of interactive timesharing systems over batch processing. Trent University not only has no batch processing it also has no computer and purchases its timesharing facilities from commercial and university suppliers. There is presently much competition in the sale of timesharing services and they have been able to obtain economic computing. The university feels that it is small enough to carry out administration by hand and or.ly use computer science as a tool rather than a discipline. The Master of Business Administration program at York University is using the computer for simulations and games, calculations, prom?ting of group decisions, computer-assisted instruction and storage of data banks for students to manipulate and analyse None of these techniques are novel, but the commitment to such a large and varied use in this type of program probably is. �-4- The Department of Clinical Epidemiology and Biostatistics at McMaster University claims to have an information storage, retreival and analysis system which is equally suitable to the non-mathematician and • the experienced statistician. A data bank of data obtained over a period of twelve years, a special language and a variety of special purpose programs are the constituents of the system. The conceptual advantages of a variaQle animated diagram have been demonstrated in a project in the Electrical Engineering Department at McMaster University. A screen display of voltage and current in a simulated transmission line significantly improved the understanding of weaker students. The conference also included papers on System Dynamics, the use of APL in computer assisted learning, computer manipulation and illustration of surfaces, and library services. This last paper emphasized the phenomenal amount of data which would need to be stored for a national library information system, and the need for rationalization of the many current individual projects. The closing speaker, Dr. J. G. Miller of the John Hopkins University School of Medicine was strongly ciritical of educators for resistance to the use of modern technology. He has recently been involved in projects in developing countries where this technology is welcomed Through use of a device attached to a television set which can be produced in India for approximately $200, Indians will soon be able to receive education television programs directly from the United States via satellite over the Pacific. The problem of achieving academic excellence while finding some criteria for planning the distribution of decreasing resources was the subject of a panel discussion. Because of ignorance about the objectives of complex educational organization it was thought impossible to evaluate the trade-offs between competing objectives. In time academics would be expected to make value judgements so that administrators could plan and co-ordinate. Present computer modelling was considered unsatisfactory because models are not complex enough, because we are not sophisticated enough in the way we use them and because academics have not been convinced of their usefulness. However, the trap of concentrating on measurables and ignoring immeasurables should be avoided. Information from computer modelling should act as a catalyst for the asking of questions about different possibilities. Now that computers have to justify their existence there is a trend towards good public relations in computer centres. The emphasis upon providing users with a good service was demonstrated at a special interest meeting on the objectives and values of computer training. There was a good deal of self criticism for the lack of readable documentation and pertinent non jargon information being provided for the user. There is a healthy sign that computer centres want to make friends. �-5- GOOD PRACTICES IN HANDLING CARD DECKS A. CARD DECK HANDLING: 1. If the size of your deck permits, draw a diagonal line with a felt-tip marker from corner to corner across the top of the cards. 2. The final card of any complete deck should be an orange 'last card', which is available in the keypunch room where the deck is submitted. This aids the machine room operator irnnensely in separating decks which are read through the card reader one after another. 3. On Multiple Boxes: a) Print your name and the Jobname on each box, both top and front. b) Clearly indicate the order of a series, e.g. 1 of 3, 2 of 3, 3 of 3, etc. c) On partially filled boxes, put a rubber band around the last handfull of cards. This keeps the cards from sliding out of order. B. 4. Don't put the rubber band on too tight around any card deck. This nicks and warps the deck, which then may not feed through the card reader. You should especially check the first and last cards of your deck as they usually get the most wear and tear. 5. Periodically check the bottom edge of the deck, particularly at the beginning and end. Nicks, bends and frayed cards will all cause poor feeding or card jams. 6. Watch the humidity and your coffee cup. Nothing ruins a deck faster than spilt liquids. Humidity is slower~ but the result is the same. The deck will warp and become unreadable. BACK-UP: 1. If the deck is important, or difficult to replace, make a copy as a backup--accidents do happen. �-6- C. 2. If your deck is going to be read through the reader several times, it will become frayed and worn, and will be replaced with a new deck at some point. Make a copy ·as a back-up. 3. In addition, consider compiling and storing your program as a load module on disk. Use of disk for good checked out programs or data is faster and better to work with for you and the operating staff. Backup for large card decks is often kept on tape in a humidity and temperature controlled Computer Centre Tape Library. MISCELLANEOUS: 1. Certain coloured cards are reserved for the following purposes: a) JCL CARDS - PINK 2. b) PROGRAM - NATURAL c) LAST CARD - ORANGE Identify changes on cards by marking the top edge of the changed card with a felt-tip marked. 3. To help you estimate the number of cards, there are approximately 140 cards per inch. 4. Card decks should be stored in adjustable trays without rubber bands around them, or as an alternative they could be tightly packed in card boxes and stored face down. Proper storage will prevent warping and damage. You might consider storing large card decks on tape in the humidity and temperature controlled Computer Centre Tape Library. 5. If you are using an 'Operations Request Card', it should also be replaced when it becomes worn. This card remains at the beginning of your deck, when being read through the card reader. �-7- LANGUAGES MOST OFTEN USED IN JANUARY &FEBRUARY &MARCH RANK LANGUAGE 1. APL 2. NO.
