They also listened with particular interest to student delegates from the lakehead University Engineer Students' Society who are currently organizing a conference for student Engineers from Western Canada to be held in the fall. Both Mr. Dinsmore and Mr. Kerr were enthusiastic about the topic of that conference, which will focus upon Canadian energy resources. They offered many helpful suggestions, and also heard the students' viewpoints on ways and means of improving communications between Engineering students and members of the profession. Government Stance Mr. Kerr, Don Driscoll, Mr. Dinsmore, Dan Ropchon ,\ AT CONFEDERATION Al LAKEHEAD f Dr. George Fleming, Mr. Dinsmore, Mr. Kerr Editor's Note: At the request of Professor Ken Hearnden, Chairman of the School of Forestry, the following excerpts from questions and answers in a debate of theLegislativeAssemblyofOntario (March 30, 1972), are reproduced from Hansard for the benefit or the University Community. The questions (Q.) were directed by opposing members; the answers (A.} were delivered by the Honourable Mr. W. G. Davis, Prime Minister of Ontario. Q. How does the Premier now intend to rescue those post-secondary institutions, particularly certain of the universities, which are going to face a financial crisis the like of which they have not faced before? A. It is our view, Mr. Speaker, that the universities will notbefacedwithofinanciolcrisis. It is our view that the funds that will be allocated to the various post-secondary institutions will enable them to meet their commitments, enable them to maintain a high quality of educational programme in this province. Q. Will the Prime Minister, if he is so optimistic, make a commitment then that no university in Ontario will receive, in their university grants, less than they got last year; in fact less than they Visiting Thunder Boy at the invitation of the area got last year plus the percentage increase of the branch of the Association of Professional EnginSIU that is occurring this year? eers of Ontario, they toured facilities of ConfedA.

I would like the Premier to define his term "prejudice."

A. If the universities find that they have a surplus by way of faculty related to the student-professor ratio, this is something that they have to deal with. But the funding that is allocated from this government relates to the number of students. The universities are treated in an equitable fashion. If, for some reason, one of our post-secondary institutions is not having the kind of intake, by way of student numbers, this is something it will have to resolve internally. We cannot accept this kind of responsibility to pay for funds for those people on staff who are not producing in terms of student-professor ratios that ore equal across the province. Student Honoured Robert Hindman, having completed the first year in Science at Lakehead University with excellent academic achievement, accepts the Royal Canadian Engineers Memorial Scholarship from Dean of Students John W. Kerr. Mr. Hindman plans to make use of the S500 award to further his ambitions in Dentistry at the University of Manitoba, the University of Western Ontario, or the University of Toronto in September.

Personnel Meeting Mr. Dick Willson, in the absence of Mr. Cliff Roach, President of the Personnel Association of Northwestern Ontario, opened their meeting of April 21, 1972, by introducing Dr. D. Eldon, VicePresident of Lakeheod University. Dr. Eldon welcomed the members of the Association to the University. Dr. Arjun Aggarwal introduced their speaker for the evening, Dr. Chris Jecchinis, by briefly outlining his broad and varied background in the field of Labour Economics. Dr. Jecchinis' most interesting and informative talk on "New Trends in Labour - Management Relations" touched upon the major problems facing the western world in the seventies, such as: low productivity; high unemployment; inequalities in income distribution; and environmental and social problems. Hewent on to elucidate current and future trends in labourmanagement relations such as increased whitecollar unionization, compulsory arbitration, and ·oint consultation. A lively discussion period folowed. l Mr. G. Robinson, in thanking Dr. Jecchinis, expressed the view that all can benefitfrom the type of academic research being done at Lakehead University, as well as other universities. Computer Seminars The computer centre will be giving a number of seminars during May and June. None of the seminars excert the one on the use of the graph plotter wil assume that participants have any computer experience. In particular one of the seminars will be of general interest introducing participants to the facilities, services and equipment available at the computer centre.

G. Frood of the Department of Physics onnou nces that the Faculty of Science was pleased to host the visit of Dr. S. Madras, Director, Liberal Science Program, York University on Tuesday, April 18, 1972. Dr. Madras spoke at length to a representative group of Science and Arts Faculty about the objectives, curricula and teaching methods of the Liberal Science Program at York. He answered many questions from the floor and dispensed valuable advice on the best way to develop our own program in this area. A growing number of science undergraduates identify temperamentally and philosophically with the scientific method as a thinking style. They are searching for an understanding of a world which is dependent on science and technology, yet apparently, in a state of crisis because of its inability to resolve the problems caused by technological change. The intelligent, concerned and motivated science student has a potential advantage for making a contribution in the important science-society interface. Since this is an area that requires its own kind of expertise, it falls to the initiative of science educators to provide the necessary educational experience. My answer to this need is a certain number of courses devoted to the theme of the major problems of the day. These courses mightnumberonly one per year, but they should reflect the important themes as the student sees them in the newspapers or hears them discussed by his peers or by the mass media. These problems should be analyzed from the point of view of whatever disciplines are needed for their understanding. Where teamwork is possible, it should be used. However, ifs drawbacks should be mentioned. If several instructors are "in charge" of respective parts of a course, the old compartmentalizations soon reappear. There are some advantages to having one instructor, sympathetic to the needs of on integrated approach, accept the responsibility for working out the details of how best coordinate such a course. Proper staffing is where the difficulty, the challenge, and the opportunities are the greatest. Spanish Grads Go On Corio Hagstrom, B.A. (Hon.)

"Joint Participation" Urged Editor's Note: The Honourable George Kerr, Provincial Minister of Colleges and Universities addressed the Ontario Confederation of University Faculty Associations Conference at McMaster University on Saturday, May 6. Following are some excerpts from his talk, as published in the May 12 issue of McMaster University's contact: ''There are no believers in the Orwellian theory of government control of society in the present administration at Queen's Park. This whole question of the proper relationship between the government and the universities is one which is becoming of increasing interest to not only the academic community but to the ordinary citizen as well," he continued. "When you consider that $2 out of every $5 spent by the Government of Ontario now goes to the education of our young people, it should not be surprising that more and more people ore beginning to assess the association of universities with government, and through government, with society as a whole." Mr. Kerr said: "As society changes, for better or for worse, the universities, too, must adopt or become irrelevant. It remains to be seen whether in responding to these irresistible forces, the universities will be successful in improvingtheirown positions and in improving the society in which they find themselves. I cannot emphasize enough, however, the need for our universities to join the real world and serve, in the truest sense of the word, the authentic needs of our society. To achieve this goal it is obvious that on increasing degree of joint participation by government and the academic community will be required. I do �not mean by that participation that one of these two should dominate the other." Citing one example of such participation, he continued: "While at one time it was almost sacrilegious to hear talk of cost benefit analysis and other modern management methods in our universities, today these ore accepted topics for polite conversation behind those ivy-covered walls." Referring to the policies initiated by his predecessor, Mr. Kerr noted: "I think it is fair to say that Mr. Davis 'philosophy is as relevant today as it was three years ago and that it is because of his concern that we safe-guard the university's rights of self-determination that the Government of Ontario has pursued the policy of reform being initiated from within the university community. May I assure that as Minister of Colleges and Universities that I do not pion a.1y radical departure from this approach . It is obv ious that collective decisions must be made in the spirit of full co-operation. No group within our educational institutions - whether itbefoculty, students, governors or administrat'SlrS - can afford to ignore the needs of the others in these changing times. The whole development of the programs within our post-secondary institutions will depend to a large degree on the quality of leadership in all these groups wihin the institutions themselves." Tbe Minister concluded: 11 1 invite you to work with not only the other groups within the university, but with government and its advisers, to ensure that our educational system continues to be the major resource of our province and nati on." Chancellor Honoured The Honourable Bora Laskin, Justice of the Supreme Cou'rtof Canada and Chancellor of Lokeheod University, was presented with an Honorary Doctor of Laws degree onMay4, at a special Law Convocation in conjunction with the official opening of the University of Alberta's new Law Centre. Suggestions Sought All students in the School of Engineering at Lakehead University must complete an approved proLeet as a requirement for graduation in both the Degree and Diploma programs. Students are free to select a project topic of their own choice. Mission oriented topics dealing with practical problems in industry or ideas concerning new product or process development would be of interest to these students who would deal with the topic from on analytical, design, experimental or a feasibility evaluation viewpoint. Short titles for possible projects are all that is required initially since the student and faculty advisor interested in the topic would contact the originator of the idea or suggestion in person. Ideally, both School of Engineering faculty and engineers from industry would super·, ise the work. Any suggestions for undergraduate pro,·ecttopics that any company or organization wou d be prepared to offer would be appreciated by the School of Engineering. We look forwa rd to a reply at your convenience. Suggestions should beaddressedtothe Chairman Schoof of Engineering, Lakehead University, Thunder Bay, Ontario. Taste Of Robert Service On Monday evening, Moy 15, as part of its Spring activity, the Lakeheod University Department of Extension and Summer Session presented a dramatization of the life, times and poetry of Robert Service by actor Charles Hayter of Toronto. Mr. Hayter utilized Service's poems to create a fast - moving and humorous self - portrait of the poet from his early years in the Yukon until his retirement in Fronce. The performance was thoroughly enjoyed by a good audience in the University Centre Theatre. Dr. Laskin Dr. Laskin was thus recognized for his wide contributions to the legal profession as a teacher, as a judge, and os a writer. Charles Hayter Mace Unveiled The mo~e, originally a mediaeval weapon of offense in the form of a club, weighted heavily �at one end, and usually made of iron, steel, or brass, was designed to break through the heaviest armour. Bishops carried maces in battle, rather than swords, in order to conform to the canonical rule which forbade priests to shed blood. The earliest ceremonial maces were carried by royal body guards known as sergeants-at-arms in formal processions of the courts of Phillip 11 of Fronce, and probably Richard l of England. However, the practical purpose of discouraging attacks upon the king gradually gave way to the European love of ceremony, ana as early as the 14th century maces tended tobe more decorative and symbolic. The mace has thus come to represent the authority of the body or institution which possesses it. In Canada's Parliament, for example, a mace is carried into the House at the beginning of each session by the sergeant-at-arms. Similarly, at many Canadian universities, a mace is present at ceremonial functions to represent the ongoing authority, dignity and spirit of the university. of silver which leads into a shaft of stainless steel surrounded by folluted bronze. Upon a narrow insert of silver is inscribed the motto of the University. The shaft ends in a boss of nickel-silver with an insert of local amethyst crystal. Each section of the shaft is separated by a small silver ring. The mace will be used for the first time in the coming Convocation ceremonies, Saturday, May 27, 1972. Quebec Today Dr. Reginald Hamel, former director and pioneer of the "Centre de documentation des lettres Canodiennes" of the University of Montreal, and currently teaching full time in French Canadian studies atthesameuniversity, presented a public lecture at Lakehead University on the evening of Wednesday, Moy 17. Dr. Hamel is regarded as an expert on topics , French - Canadian. On this occasion he addressed himself to the subject "Quebec Today". Or. HM1el CEA Meetings The official mace of Lakehead University, a gift of the Alumni Association, was designed by Ken Campbell of the Board of Education and constructed by John Butler, Senior Technician in the University's Science Workshop. In keeping with the responsibilities of Lakehead University, the new mace is made entirely of materials from the region of Northwestern Ontario. The head consists of a golden cluster of jack pine cones on a smooth silver hemisphere. It is surrounded by two nickel-silver rings on either side of a bond of polished nickel inscribed with official insignia of Lokeheod University. The base of the heaa is comprised of four triangular specimens of ore mined in the region: silver, gold, nickel and copper. Below the ores is a handle At the sixth annual meeting of the Canadian Economic Association to be held at McGill University, Montreal, from June3 to 6 ,the Economics Department of Lakehead university will be well represented.

The committee, established as a permanent body, with an appointed Director to provide continuity was considered to best serve the prevailing needs. Its aims were to channel the interests of faculty members in the direction of northern research, to stimulate the interest of students and others in northern research, to promote courses in northern studies and to assist in procurring funds for northern research. The Director was to assess the northern research resources at the University, liaise with government departments and universities working in Canada's north and exchange information with such bodies. In 1968 the Ontario Department of Lands and Forests base at Black Sturgeon Lake in the boreal forest was acquired. used as a subarctic research station. The facilities are to be A research and teaching program at the station is now being developed by the Northern Area Studies Committee. This fall under the auspices of the Arctic Institute of North America, Dr. M.C. Grooswald, of the Institute of Geography of the Academy of Science, U.S.S.R., visited Lakehead University. His discussions on northern research and developments in the U.S.S.R. added a further stimulus to the Committees activities. In the past sunnner, the Director travelled from L'anse aux Meadows in Newfoundland to Whitehorse in the Yukon, attending the Second National Northern Research Conference at the latter community as well as the Alaskan Science Conference. !he committee is at present constituted as follows: �- 2 W.G.

Dawson, C.D., M.A. Assistant Professor of Anthropology and Director of Northern Area Studies Committee EXPENDITURES The support and encouragement provided by the Department of Indian Affairs and Northern Development has facilitated the procurement of funds from other sources. Individual grants totaling more than $50,000 have been received by faculty members undertaking northern research projects. These are accountable by the respective researcher and are not therefore detailed in this report. In addition, funds amounting to $30,000 per year for a period of three years have been provided by the Department ·of University Affairs to operate the research station. The initial timing of the receipt ef funds from the Grants Connnittee �- 3 of the Department of Indian Affairs and Northern Development precluded uitlization of the grant in the sunnner of the year in which it was applied for, and this situation has prevailed in subsequent years. It is considered a satis- factory arrangement for it permits advance planning and early spring fielding of research parties. To date all funds received from the Department of Indian Affairs and Northern Development have been allocated to the Albany River ecological project. A balance of funds remains this year, as field work in the past summer was curtailed. As originally envisaged, a four man party consisting of two zoology students, one botany student and one archaeology student was to be put in the field. Four students, of a type deemed suitable for a field party working in an inhospitable, isolated situation for an extended period of time were not located and the field party was reduced to two.

The data collected in oply two seasons does not warrant a statement but it is of interest to note �.. " t • - 7 that the archaeological aspect of the project have recovered Middle Woodland ceramics. Students who were available for shorter periods were used in biological and prehistoric field reconnaissance at the recently acquired Black Sturgeon Lake research station. Here some of the basic problems of setting-up the telemetry system designed to monitor the movement of animals which is to be embodied in the Albany River survey are being worked out. Funds for this aspect of the work were provided by the National Research Council. Other projects, particularly those related to socio-economic studies and problems of living in the north, have employed undergraduate students and expectations are that a number of students will continue their interest in the north at the post graduate level. These projects are also contributing directly to the planning for development of the north. It is this multi- discipline approach that the connnittee believes to be essential for northern studies, and a first step toward interdisciplinary research. FUTURE PROSPECTS In an attempt to achieve an integrated understanding of indigenous peoples in the north, a number of research projects have been developed and are expected to be commenc~d in the coming year: one in association with the Youth and Recreation Branch of the Ontario Department of Education is to study attitudes towards education on northern reserves; one is a study of Indians in town under support from ~he Human Rights Connnission of Ontario; one would attempt to determine the common factors in those persons of Indian ancestry who become members of the middle class in Canada and another would attempt to standardize for the Indian population non-verbal tests for use in reserves �' • ,I- - 8 schools. These projects are being developed by members of the Depart~ents of Psychology, Sociology and Anthropology. The undergraduate student body in recognition of the University's position in the subarctic boreal forest and the human phenomena of living in the north have established their own northern studies committee and out of this has come a request for an insitute devoted to the study and education of Indians in the north. While this is only in the embryonic stage, it does hold promise. The Department of History and Geography under Treasury Department, Regional Development Branch funding anticipates expansion of their research with respect to service centers and communications in the north and the Department of Geology in association with Inland Waterways expects to commence a detailed study of the Lake Superior shore line east of the Lakehead. The Committee is also working with the Mid-Canada Development Corridor Foundatiqn which is planning a series of seminars embracing business, academic and government personnel concerned with the mid-north. The first of these is to be held at Lakehead University next summer. With the increasing number of ~esearch projects being undertaken at the University and the growing awareness in Canada, of the norths potential, the Committee looks forward to a growing realization of its aim. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

K. C. A. DAWSON, ASSISTANT PROFESSOR OF ANTHROPOLOGY, LAKEHEAD UNIVERSITY RE: MID-CANADA REGION Over the past summer I have travelled across our country from Northern Newfoundland to the Yukon. During these travels I talked with many people in an attempt to ascertain their attitude and views about Canada's North. Knowing your continued interest in the north, I would like to take this opportunity to pass on to you my conclusions. This is not a formal paper just a series of thoughts and ideas stemming from my wide ranging travels in the past year. For thousands of years man in the north had adapted himself to nature, and not nature to himself. This changed with the arrival, in the seventeenth century, of people out of Europe. The land was scoured for fur bearing animals that had heretofor been used by family groups of Indians for clothing and meat. The exchange of furs for European goods, resulted in the complete distruction of the adaptive dependence on the natural environment of the indigenous peoples. Their way of life changed to one of dependence on the whims of alien peoples. The shifting of foreign markets, and the decline in the availability of furs, in large measure the result of over-harvesting, brought the vast fur trade organizatio to an end. Thus, by the middle of the ninteenth century the northern peoples, now without their basic food resources, and dependant on an alien technology, were left to fend for themselves. �- 2 - Since the arrival of the Euro-Canadian, development of the boreal forest shield region has been characterized by transient, extractive, commercial ventures. These ventures, based on the requirements of communities unrelated to the north, proceed with little consideration for the people living in the north. As a result, many people who have made their permanent home in the north, have developed over the years a sense of alienation from the south of Canada. From the period of exploration, resting on the then lucrative fur trade, to the quest for recovery of precious metal resources, to the present denudation of the forests by the pulp and paper industry, all major economic activities have been based on extraction of resources, are transient in nature, and are controlled by outsiders, for outsiders. We all know of ghost towns resulting from the termination of mining operations in the north. One only needs to fly over the north to see how Euro-Canadians have treated their own people, and the resources of the region. region continues. The dependency on forces outside the Under present utilization of our forests, I believe it is likely, albeit for sound economic reasons, that the pulp and paper industries may well move their operations south to areas of fast growing southern pine, once existing facilities have fulfilled their economic usefulness. And once again, we will witness the indifference of the rest of Canada to the well being of their compatriots, who choose to occupy the central heartland and hold it as Canadian territory. �- 3 This repetitive alienation of people living in the north is aggravated by factors other than economic. The growing multiplicity of regulations, usually designed for southern areas with high population density, is felt as an unwarranted, repressive and authoritarian intrusion into individual freedom of expression and action. The power of government offices to search "wherever their suspicions may chance to fall" is totally subversive of democracy. The burden of this action is expressed in the obvious indifference and lack of initiative manifested in many northern communities relative to other communities in Canada, for the people feel they have only colonial status. There is an obvious need for some form of regional government, answerable to the people in the north. Certainly, a new approach is required, for the land is not the private preserve of those from outside who may, from time to time, wish to harvest its resources. People living in the south of our country perpetuate a myth that Canada no longer has a frontier situation. erroneous. This is completely There are hundreds of square miles of territory surrounding the great inland waters of Hudson's and James Bay with less than one person per square mile. This kind of isolation, this indifference in experience and background, results in a people with entirely different outlooks on life. If Canada is to grow and prosper, the resources of the north must be developed, but I suggest it should be with the people of the north, not separate from them. I should record that there appears to be no problem of national identity in the north. From coast to coast, everyone I talked with, whether they were old settlers, indigenous peoples, or recent immigrants, �- 4 was first and foremost a Canadian, even where their very survival depended on foreign capital investment. There are, of course, regional variations, but in all regions our people view themselves clearly apart from the Americans. This, I believe, stands in marked contrast to many of our southern city populations. Another aspect of the problem of identification for the people of the north is communication. There are regions which by virtue of radio are informed as to what is happening, in their neighbouring communities, in their Provincial or Territorial Capitol, in Ottawa, and in the world. These people do not feel cut off and isolated. But there are other areas, such as northern Ontario, where such is not the case. People in the Lakehead have virtually no idea of what is going on in Sault Ste. Marie, their nearest neighbouring city, for there is no radio link. Commercial broadcasting, in the area, looks inward rather than outward. This does not aid in identification of Northern people with the rest of Canada, but reinforces the felt isolation. The same may be said for the prevailing newspaper media in the Lakehead. Furthermore, agencies such as the C.B.C. have completely abrogated their responsibility in Northern Ontario, for they have not even bothered to set up a station in the area. The situation is perpetuated by the existing power structure at the local level, with its 'old guard' family control, which, while it no doubt gives stability to the community, often performs like the Family Compact of old Upper Canada. The ultimate social actions which result from this kind of control are well-known. Another factor in this �- 5 process of alienation of the people of the north, is the prevailing absentee ownership of the extractive based industries; Management is transient, and transient management, regardless of how conscientious it might be, in terms of community involvement, is still - transient. With reference to the work force significant elements of this force are mobile, others are seasonal workers, while others are subject to dislocation in the face of the application of new technologies. Thus many do not make a lasting contribution to the long term development of northern communities. For the same reasons many young people leave the region, thus the north is its young people. losing its best resource - Those who do stay, frequently become a public charge as they age, for there are no alternative avenues of employment open to them, in a land with virtually no light secondary industry. Lack of opportunity has resulted in a poverty problem in many areas of the north, yet if it is to be developed competant people are needed and a program to induce young Canadians to come north and open up the frontier is required. The many indigenous people of the region have reaped the grievous suffering of a subjected people, under the dichotomy which prevails between the needs of people, and the goals of our economic system. Their expanding population largely the result of the introduction of limited health services, based on pre-natal and post-natal care combined with the introduction of game conservation measures, which limited food and cash resources, has resulted in a forced dependency on an alien overseer. This, combined with the introduction �- 6 - of a formal education program, has caused a severe and drastic dislocation in the way of life of these peoples. direction of conformity to an alien culture. A change in the The only justification for such action must rest in the 'right of conquest', a stand no longer palatable in todays world. The dominant society must recognize that it is engaged in an unco-ordinated program of forced acculturation. Only then might they be in a position to face up to the effects of their actions. In the meantime, for those many young people, who, as a direct result of actions taken to date, are no longer able to fit into their own society, yet do not have a place in the communal life of the dominant society, an answer must be found. One which will at least permit those who want to participate, an opportunity to do so. I would suggest that the people of Canada have within their power the means for providing a role for many of these young people. The numerous government departments that maintain sizable operations in the areas inhabited by Indian people could employ many of them. Whatever the cost in dislocation because of labour turn-over or expense incurred in on-the-job training, consideration should be given to such an approach. It is believed that if such a scheme were implemented, there would be, over the years, a gradual shifting to employment in the private sector of the economy. Returning to consideration of the development of the north as a region, it must be recognized that any development program has far reaching effects. What factors, for example, have been considered in respect to the on-going survey of water resources of the Albany River? �- 7 One cannot help but wonder if any consideration has been given to the resulting dislocation of the indigenous people, not to mention the utter distruction of plants and animals, and the concomrnitant disruption of the ecological balance. A minimum requirement would seen to be a complete summary of the resources of the area, before deciding on a program of inundation and diversion of the waters. Once again, it appears, the land will be exploited by outsiders, for the benefit of outsiders. In terms of research, any program set up to investigate the north should be centred in northern institutions, not in the south as often is the case today. For example, research with respect to an afforestation and reclamation of our soggy wastelands around Hundson's Bay could be undertaken by the universities now situated in the north. One only needs to look at the vast range of chemicals which the USSR is recovering from their peat bogs, to recognize the unrealized potential of the area. Conservation and pollution research must also be the subject of continuing study if we are to leave the land livable for future generations. Let us look at some possibilities for development of the north. There are areas now forested which are suitable for cattle grazing. Such a land utilization would not only provide a local food supply, supplanting the present situation which sees almost all basic food supplies imported, it would also provide a working situation for many people in a context with which they could identify. Further, a programme of co-operative ventures, to produce and market products would be �- highly desirable. 8 - Such enterprises would belong to the people, and • they would identify with the operations. This is very important, since a sense of identity cannot now be achieved with ownership and control resting, as it does, some place far removed from the north. Looking north to the Bay much of the land appears uninhabitable. But it could be put to use for grazing caribou, under the management of the native people, who live in large tracts of that area. This is the natural habitat of the caribou, an animal which can digest many plants not suitable to man, and convert them to edible meat. The caribou is a herd animal, and could be domesticated without major difficulty. The development of plant products in the north, by the people living there, is worthy of consideration. This would include the cultivation and harvesting of such products as blueberries, cranberries, mu shrooms, wild rice, and mosses. With some encouragement and assistance, such enterprises might be undertaken by many of the Indians living in the region. Much of the land surface of the north is comprised of beautifully coloured shield rock. Noting the stre.rg:h, durability and range of colours of this rock, one considers the possibility of crushing it for utilization as surface coating for curtain walling. Certainly there is a large and growing market for such building materials in the magolithic buildings of the southern metropoli. The d.eve,l opment of the off-shore mineral finds, now under exploration in Hudson's Bay, could be undertaken by going overland, through Ontario, rather than by water, as is now the case. The wealth apparently lies there, would certainly justify the building of an �- 9 overland route by the public sector which would open up corridors to r the Bay. The result would be of inestimable benefit to the people of the north, and to the country as a whole. In todays world, industry has a social responsibility. It is no longer acceptable to establish an extractive industry with a short life span. Once an industry goes into an area, regardless of the type, it attracts many other secondary service enterprises. means people, families communities. This Corporations in todays world have a responsibility for the communities they create. I have tried to state some of the problems that prevail in the central sh:eld region of Canada, and to c£fer some suggestions as to future direction of growth and development in the region. The aspect cE. 'people' has been emphasized, because it is fundamental. Under our present system of blended private and public sector financing of development, the people of Canada have a direct responsibility for ensuring the development of their mid northern territories but they must make a choice between haphazard and unplanned development and planned programmed development soundly based on both the human and natural resources of the country. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

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.
