Students, faculty and staff of the University are cautioned to drive with extreme care on campus during the summer period because detours will be the order of the day. Following is a numbered I ist of the various projects, some of which are already underway. The numbers are reproduced on the accompanying map of the campus in order to give you some idea of the main areas of activity. 1. The road from the Oliver Road entrance, around the plex will be revamped during and after construction of the new olympic-size swimming pool. The parking lot will be shifted, but its present capacity will be retained; a new exit road wil I be introduced between the swimming pool and Oliver road, thus completing loop service around the Athletic Complex; the roads wil I be paved; the area wi II be landscaped, with new walkways introduced. 3. New construction around the Facultyof Education Building will include a new walkway connecting the campus to Oliver Road on the habitual path of pedestrians, and also a section of pavement connecting the front and rear parking lots. Considerable landscaping wi II also take place around the Faculty of Education Building. 4. The natural walk between the dam and the floodgates on the island in the centre of the campus wi II be paved. Academic Building and past the Library to Parking Lot #1, is currently undergoing preparation to be curbed and paved. Parking Lot #1 wi 11 also be reconstructed with steel posts replacing the present wooden ones. The area around the Academic Building is scheduled to be landscaped before September. 5. The roadway on the Oliver Road side of the Power Plant has been removed to make way for cooling towers which have already been installed. Landscaping is currently underway in this area. 2. The area around the C. J. Sanders Athletic Com- 6. Exterior lighting will be installed over the entire Campus site during the summer months. �A C A D E M C B LJ L D NG �ACADEMIC BUILDING The Department of Physical Planning and Construction announces that the new Academic Building adjacent to the Library wi II be fully furnished and ready for occupancy well in advance of the opening of classes for the regular session beginning in September, 1972. A glance at the accompanying floor plan reveals at least six different types and sizes of classroom. Rooms similar in construction to 1021 and 2025 are 40-station lecture rooms with tablet-arm seating; those similar to 2024 are 60-station lecture rooms with tablet-arm seating, Rooms 1022 and 1044 are carpeted, horse-shoe-shaped, tiered case study rooms.Rooms similar to 1020 are 12station seminar rooms with carpeted floors and table-and-chair seating; those similar to 2023 are 16-station seminar rooms. Room 2047 is an BO-station examination room with desk-and-chair seating to make it a flexible testing area. The smaller rooms are faculty offices, numbering 82 in all. Also, centrally located in each of the three administrative areas are two double-occupancy secretarial offices, Finally, the largest area on the first floor, designated number 1042, is a lecture theatre-auditorium which boasts 356 auditorium-style upholstered seats with articulating tablet-arms for note-taking, l.002.. Pl...o..N Swimming Pool Nearing Completion ATHLETIC COMPLEX Construction on Phase 11 of the Athletic complex is under a full head of steam, Except for a few finishing touches, this entire phase should be completed for the beginning of the fall session in September, Separate segments of this construction include three new lecture rooms, three squash courts, a combatives room specifically designed and equipped for the University"s expanding wrestling program, and an auxi II iary gymnasium for creative dance, gymnastics, etc, The major project is the olympic-size swimming pool. It will measure 50 metres in length, and will be six lanes wide; it will be 12 feet deep at one end, and 3 feet 6 inches at the other; it will have portable bulkheads to divide the pool into separate instruction areas, The pool will include two 3 metre diving boards and two 1 metre diving boards, And seating capacity will be approximately 500. �W88KI~ even~s mee~ings CAPITAL PROJECTS Language Awards (Cont'd) Editor's Note: Following are further excerpts from President Tamblyn' s Annual Report to the Board of Governors: Over the years, the Uni'versity has attempted to keep pace with developments in academic programs, enrolment, and research activities, by providing additional physical facilities as required, Although the Board is familiar with the details of the University's present Capital Program, I would like to briefly summarize the major components of that program at this time. Construction is approaching completion of the 40,000 square foot Academic building, with an estimated total cost of $2.5 million, and on Phase 11 of the extension to the Athletic complex, with an approved budget of $1.8 mil lion. This new Academic bui Iding should provide sufficient teaching and office space to serve the University's requirements for the next few years, while the extension to our Athletic faci I ities, including the addition of an olympic-s ize swimming pool, will accommodate the needs of our own Physical and Health Education and Athletic programs, and also provide ample opportunity for use by Confederation College and members of the general community. The remaining projects being funded by the Provincial Government include Site services, Uti I ities extension, Power House equipment, and some alterations to existing structures, The original budgets for these projects totalled $3.9 million, of which $1.5 million remains to complete them, speaking students, who cannot pursue university studies in French in Ontario, to study in their own language in Quebec. The amount of the bursary will not exceed the equivalent of two economy round trips annually from the student's place of residence to the university chosen. There are also five minor projects which are being funded out of the University's own funds. These include minor alterations of the Faculty of !:ducation and the Main Buildings, renovations and equipment purchase for the newly-expanded Forestry and Engineering Programs, Utility Metering and the purchase of a Residence for the University President. The total cost for these five projects are estimated to be $230,000. Second Language Awards The student awards Branch ofthe Ministry of Colleges and Universities has announced the introduction of a new Fellowship for Second Language Study., and a travel bursary for French-speaking students. These awards are funded by the Federal Government and administered provincially. The aim of the fellowship is to provide students with an opportunity for immersion in the milieu of their second language in any discipline. It is open to Ontario residents who are undergraduate or graduate students registered in Canadian universities. Approximately 100 fellowships will be awarded, to maximum amount of $2,000. The purpose of the travel bursary is to help French- Deadline date for the fellowship is October 31, 1972, and for the trave I bursary is December 31 , 1972. Both awards are available for the 1972-73 academic year. Application forms and further information may be obtained from Mr. D. S. Bethune, Director of Student Awards, Ministry of Colleges and Universities, 8th floor, Mowat Block, Queen's Park, Toronto (telephone 965-5241 ). OH, HAPPY DAY! In response to popular demand, "Happy Hours" wi II be revived, beginning Friday, July 7 at 4:00 p.m. in the Faculty Lounge.

FAMILY LIFE PROGRAM The Family Life Program is a two-credit course designed to provide the student with a thorough knowledge of human sexuality and family living. Each year leading authorities in anthropology, sociology, philosophy, psychology, theology, physiology and chi Id development are invited toLakehead University as guest lecturers. Each day starts with a two hour presentation by the visiting lecturer, and this is followed by a discussion group period. Each group consists of 12 students and a trained group leader. It is during this period that students have the opportunity to consider and discuss the contents of the morning lecture. The afternoon is occupied with the evaluation of audio-visual material, and a second group meeting. Lakehead University's thirteenth Summer term began on July 3 and will run through the week of August 15. A tota I of 1,600 students are enrol led in more than 50 courses on campus, throughout 6 communities in Northwestern Ontario, and also overseas in Spain and England. Special summer features, in addition to the Family Life Program described in this edition, include music instruction in conjunction with Humanistic Studies, language immersion programs in French and English, final summer training for secondary school teachers, and a theatre workshop. Free Films and Music As a service to students in the Summer term, the Department of Extension and Summer Session is providing the best in local concert musician-ship and recent National Film Board productions free of charge. Summer concerts scheduled for the remainder of the term wi 11 take place in the Facµlty of Education Auditorium on Wednesday, July 19 and Wednesday, July 26 at 8:00 p.m. Featured from time to time in such concerts are the musicians-in-residence of Lakehead University: Douglas Dahlgren, piano; Michael Ed-. wards, clarinet and oboe, Sidney Mann, viol in and viola; Joseph Shufro, cello; and Kenneth Dearlove, brass. Although the course is designed primarily to train and prepare persons for the teaching of Family Life in the school, it is apparent that the course has considerable appeal to non-teachers. The course content deals with such contemporary issues as the future of the family, women's liberation, and sex and the law, as wel I as a review of current knowledge in such areas as human reproduction, commUnication in the family and contemporary theological views. Under the directorship of Kieth Wood of the Department of Psycho logy, a tota I of fourteen guest lecturers wi II present up-to-date research and viewpoints on family living, throughout the summer. The first speaker has just completed his skein of three lectures through the first week of classes in the program. Dr. Warren Schumacher of the Department of Human Development at the University of Massachusetts has turned his attention towards the topics of "Human sexuality: the language of interpersonal relations", "Maleness and femaleness: sexua I identification and roles", and "Clarification of personal values: risk and creativity". Through these topics, Dr. Schumacher has stimulated thought and discussion of the deep implications of sexuality in all aspects of human personality and interpersonal relations. He has also explored the extent to which such questions should be raised in the classroom. �I , .j~ . ,, '. /' . . >... REMINDER Shakespeare Production ! For those who may have missed earlier announcements, "Happy Hours" have returned. Faculty and staff of Lakehead University are invited to share I ibations in the Faculty Lounge from 4:00 p.m. on Friday afternoons throughout the summer. A Minneapolis-based touring company of actors, usually specializing in outdoor performances of Shakespearean plays, will perform indoors on three occasions at Lakehead University on July 12 and 13. COU RECOMMENDATION The following is an excerpt from a letter to the Chairman of CUA, setting forward the COU recommendations on graduate student fees: It was concluded that $600 for a twelve-month year is a reasonable fee for graduate students to pay. This figure would be among the highest graduate fees in Canada, but not so far above the other provinces as to encourage widesp!Bad migration of the best Ontario students. The concept of an annual fee is considered important, because of the great merits in year-round study and year-round use of the most expensive university facilities, If the fee were established on an annual basis, there would be no need for uniformity among the universities in the actual application of fees by terms. Shakespeare-in-the-Streets, as the company is called, will arrive on the evening of Wednesday, July 12, and wi 11 perform Tw~lfth Night at 8:00 p.m. that evening. On Thursday, July 13, they will perform Much Ado About Nothing at 2:00 p.m. and The Two Gentlemen of Verona at 8:00 p.m. All performances will take place in the Lakehead University Centre Theatre. Tickets for each performance are $2.00, and are available through the University Bookstore, or may be purchased at the theatre entrance. Our specific recommendations to CUA and the government are as follows: (1) that all full-time graduate students ( except for post-residency· students) be charged a fee of $600 a year collectible once, twice or three times during the year at the discretion of the university and that this amount be used by the government in calculating formula entitlements; (2) that transition to the above formula fee be accomplished according to the following schedule: * (below) (3) that an adjusted value of the 8.1.U. for 1973-74 is preferable to an increase in fees beyond $600 or any other compensating mechanisms such as bursaries; (4) that if the 8.1.U. value for 1973-74 is reduced, appropriate arrangements be made to protect the income of the universities likely to suffer • enrolment shortfalls or to have limitt;!d numbers of graduate students. *Fall 1972 Winter 1972 Spring 1973 $292.50 Scene From Much Ado About Nothing Fall 1973 Winter 1973 Total $600 $292.50 $ 15.00 $292.50 $200.00 $107.50 $200.00 $200.00 $600 $200.00 $600 �Association Of Commonwealth Universities The ACU promotes contact and co-operation between Commonwealth universities. To that end, the Association, which has a full-time staff of 55 at its London headquarters, works in a number of practical ways to serve the Commonwealth university community by: • organizing in different parts of the world conferences of Commonwealth university people • promoting the movement of staff between Commonwea Ith universities by helping member universities to fi 11 vacant academic posts • assisting the movement of students from one country to another by administering a number of scholarship schemes, including the British end of the 1,00-award Commonwealth Scholarship and Fellowship Plan • providing factual information about universities on a Commonwealth-wide basis, through publications (especially the Commonwealth Universities Yearbook) and a personal information service. Founded in 1913 and later incorporated by royal charter, the Association has 186 member universities in 26 Commonwealth countries (52 members in Europe, 45 in Asia, 46 in the Americas, 24 in Australasia and the Pacific, and 19 in Africa). 69 of its member institutions are in developing countries. It is the oldest international inter-university association in the world and is governed by a Counc i I of executive heads representing member universities in the different Commonwealth countries. The Secretary-General is Sir Hugh W. Springer and the office of the Association is at 36 Gordon Square, London, England WC1 HOPF. Much of the work of the Association involves contact with, or providing services for, the executive heads, administrative officers and academic staff of member universities, but a significant part of the day-to-day work of the office takes the form of the provision of services for university students. These services centre round the provision of information, usually about courses, admission requirements or scholarships, and the administration of scholarship schemes. Factual information about Commonwealth universities is provided for students in the following ways: • through A.C.U. publications of which the best known is the annual Commonwealth Universities Yearbook. The Yearbook is meant to serve all sections of the Commonwealth university community but the A.C.U. also produced some pub1ications intended largely or entirely for students. • 'Higher Education in the Uniled Kingdom', a handbook issued every two years and specially designed to answer the .kind of questions that students in other countries ask about study at the higher education level in the United Kingdom. • A new A.C.U. publication, scheduled to appear I ate in 1972, wi 11 describe awards for postgraduate study tenable at universities throughout the Commonwealth and open to students from other Commonwealth countries; it wi 11 be cal led 'Scholarships Guide for Commonwea Ith Postgraduate Students' and will be published in revised editions every two years. • through a free Personal lnf,ormation Service for any student who, w1 shes to telephone, write to, or (if in London) cafl at the A.C.U. office at 36 Gordon Sq\Jarefor a talk with one of the information officers (who also edit the Association's publications). To answer some of the most frequently-asked questions in greater detai I than would be possible by letter or in conversation, a number of short A.C.U. Student Information Papers have been prepared and are available on request and without charge. The A.C.U. Bulletin of Current Documentation is published by the Association of Commonwealth Universities, 36 Gordon Square, London, England WC1 H OPF. Its main purpose is to provide the member universities of the Association, and particularly those in them who are concerned with the more genera I aspects of pol icy-making, with factua I information about some of the more important books, reports, and other documents that have recently been issued on matters affecting universities and are of more than local interest. The emphasis is on publications issued ,in• Commonwealth countries but some international and foreign documentation is also described. The 1972 Commonwealth Universities Yearbook is the forty-ninth edition of this standard guide to university institutions in the Commonwealth. In its 2,100 pages it provides the essential facts about 240 universities, including for each a complete list of teaching staff and general information about its courses, faci I ities, activities and organization. �for library Use Oily W88KI~ even~s Tuesday July 11 -Summer Session Movie "Spy Who Came In From The Cold", U.

VOLUME 5 ~UMB~R- 8 J.ULY 20, 1972 teaching blocks, one for each week of the course. During any given week there may be three or more instructors at work in their various specialties. The professors and their specialties include; Dr. J.H. Widdop - elementary apparatus, psychology, soccer; Mrs. S. Evans - basketball, folk dance; Mr. G. Garvie - wrestling, football, motor performance; Mr. B. Grozdanovic - gymnastics, handball, soccer; Mr. H. Lockhart - basketball; Mr. W.

Nelson -educational gymnastics, Movement; Miss W. Thompson - volleyball, track and field. Dr. Widdop reports that close to thirty people are enrolled in this extremely fast-moving and intensive course in Kenora; most are elementary school teachers, with a sprinkling of high school teachers. Second Language Programs This summer at Lakehead Unviersity there are two "second language immersion" programs one in English, one in French. The general aim of the programs is to develop skills in reading, writing, unaerstanding and particularly in speaking the second language. Unique Program in Kenora The Department of Physical and Health Education of Lakehead University, under the direction of its Chairman, Dr. J.H. Widdop, is offering a unique program in Kenora, Ontario, in conjunction with the Extension Department. B.P.H.E.101 isacourse designed to introduce the prospective teacher of physical and health education to the theory and practice of individual and team activities. Emphasis in this course is upon the elementary principles involved in the teaching of such activities to beginners. S.,uch a course necessarily requires a variety of expert instructors to adequately cover the many games, activities, theories and different pieces of apparatus with which the prospective teacher must be familiar. The course in Ke nora has been divided into six Language Lab in Use A total offorty-three students are deeply involved in the many aspects of the programs, which offer �.. .: •• . ' V , )' ' . •✓ '' I intensive training in literature, grammar, spelling, reading language laboratory practice, directed and free conversation. Even those students studying French are from outside the region for the most part, for the program, under the auspices of the Federal Secretary of State's Office, is designed to promote travel. Emphasis within the programs is on Canadian material and Canadian instruction. Students are not only involved in classroom study from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. every day, but they are totally immersed in the second language through residence living, socializing with their instructors in the residence atmosphere, and through weekend excursions, field trips and picnics. Instructors constantly stimulate and encourage expression in the second tongue. Dr. M. Colina, Director of the Summer Language Training Program, claims a high degree of success in promoting understanding and expression in the second language and its culture. This is the second summer in which Lakehead University has been involved in the "second language program". Much of its success is attributed to the total living experience which is promoted by instructors and students being from outside the region, and by their sharing residence living. National Research Policy Following are excerpts from a speech delivered by the Honourable Alastair Gillespie, Federal Minister of State for Science and Technology, to a scientific gathering in Ottawa on July 10: As Minister of State for Science and Technology I am well aware of the many demands on the government for funds to support research and development. Many of these proposals are good and are worthy of support in the general interest of the country. But public funds should not be expended unless there is a reasonable probability of public benefit and all too often the view presented is short-sighted and parochial. It is up to you and those like you in other areas of technology to explain why your proposed project will benefit Canadians. Politicians are generally held .responsible for the expenditure of the public funds which they administer, and rightly so. But they are not experts in specialized fields of science and technology and must rely on the scientist or engineer to explain to the public why his work deserves support. It was to hel the government achieve a broad and farsighted approach to science and technology that my Ministry was established and I can assure you that as its Minister I look very hard at proposals which involve the expenditure of public funds and use of national resources, especially when the objectives, benefits, spinoffs, or side effects expected are poorly defined or oorly understood ... I can picture, a few years rom now, a group of scientists aboard a space station - maybe aboard SKYLAB - looking down on earth from space and discussing among themselves the scientific benefits of their research. Below, on a street of one of our cities, will be a group of the citizens who will have footed the bill and voted their approval for that space venture. As those citizens stand there looking at that little dot in the sky streak past - will tfiey know - will they understand the implications of what those scientists up there are talking about? Will they really have been put in a position to understand how the spaceship they live on - the earth - is being made a more viable and more humane living area by the research being carried out aboard that research space station? The man who pays the piper may not be able to call the tune on a daily basis, but at least he has the right and the responsibility to hear the tune. And with today's pressures for public funds, any scientists who lack the renewable ingenuity to get their tune to the public may in future find themselves being treated a little like expendable resources. r. Proposed Alterations This fall the Library will take over considerably more of the library building, and over the next few months alterations wilf be made in some of the service areas and in the location of stock. The main changes will be as follows: •The Cataloguing Department will move from the main floor to thegroundfloortobelocated beside the Acquisitions Department. •Government Publications will then occupy the vacated area and will be available through the Reference Library. •The Acquisitions Librarian and the Searching section, at present located on the second floor, . will also move to the ground floor. -Current newspapers will be moved back to the second floor. •The Reserve collection, at .present at the Circulation Desk, will be housed in the study room next to the Catalo ue Hall. �•Microfilms, etc. will remain in their present place in the Reference Room. •Indexes and abstracts (i.e. Chemical Abstracts Mathematical Reviews, etc.) will be brought to~ gether in a separate area on the secona floor in order to make their use easier. •The shelving of the main book collection at present on the third floor, will be extended to the fourth floor. Further ACU Notes In the_ July 11 issue of LU WEEK, space did not permit complete information in the article on the Association of Commonwealth Universities. The ?rticle was stimulated by the visit of Mr. Tom Cra1_g to _the campus of Lakehead University earlier this summer. Mr. Craig visited various young "emerging" universities across Canada in conjunc_tion with important ACU meetings in St. Cotherines and Montreal; and mainly for the purpose of emphasizing the Association's services to member institutions. While in Thunder Bay, Mr. Craig was able to tour ports of Lakehead University, as well as Confederation College. Among other interviews on campus, Mr. Craig spent considerable time with Mr. Donald Ayre, Secretary of Lakehead University. It is through Mr. Ayre's office that ACU is supplied with up-to-date information about Lakehead University. Memorial Scholarships The Canadian Division of the Chartered Institute of Secretaries recently announced the app_roval of "scholarships on a continuing basis to be offered at Lakehead University in memory of the late Timothy Ryon", Dean of Arts at the University, and chairman of the lnstitute's Curriculum Committee at the time of his death. "Such scholarships would be open to graduates of Lakehead University or students currently on course at the University. The Institute will award scholarships on the basis of a nomination from the University President, tenable for the individual student on a calendar year basis, for three years of registration with the Institute." The value of each scholarship is estimated at $1,000 over a three year period. Further information regarding this award will be available through the Office of the Dean of Students. Reminder Contributions to the University's Scholarship Fund in memory of Timothy Joseph Ryan continue to be payable to Lakehead University. Such contributions should be forwarded to _the _Office of the Secretary, Lakehead Un1vers1ty, Thunder Bay, Ontario. BIU Increase The value of the basic income unit used in calculating support levels for College~ and Universities, has been set at $l ,825 for the 1973-74 a~a~emic rear, The Honourable George A. Kerr, Minister~ Colleges and Universities, announced today. This represents a 3.4% increase in the unit value, up $60 from this year's $1,765. Bearing in mind that there ore unavoidable increases in administrative costs and salaries the Government believes this level of support' will enable the Colleges and the Universities to maintain present standards of excellence and at the same time provide incentives for efficiency Mr. Kerr indicated. ' It is expected that, across the province, formula operating grants to universities will increase by about 9% or $33 million over the current level taking into account projected student enrolment' f~r 1973-74 and the weighing factors applied to different programs under formula financing. Because of larger increases in anticipated enrolment at the Colleges of Applied Arts and Technology, the Formula Grants to the Colleges are expected to rise about 18% or $19 million across the system during 1973-74. In a letter to the Presidents of the Universities and Colleges announcing the increase, Mr. Kerr stated that the unit value had been established at $1,825 after thorough consideration by the Government and was intended to permit the institutions "to plan effectively for the 1973-74 fiscal year and to set the appropriate priorities and objectives." "You ore aware, I am sure," the letter continued "that the Government has always consider;d education as one of its highest priorities. This announcement, which comes in a period of great fiscal restraint, should indicate to you our strong and continuin commitment in this area." �W88KI~ Thursday July 20 Friday July 21 even~s -Beer Garden with "Love Cycle", Cafeteria, 3 to 9 p.m. -Thunder Bay Girls Pipe Band, Hillcrest Park, 7:30 p.m. -Dance, Cafeteria, 9 to 1 . -Intimacy Concert, Faculty of Education Building, 7:30 p.m. Saturday July 22 -Movie "Getting Straight", U.C.T., 6:30 and 9 p.m. Sunday July 23 -Movie "Getting Straight", U.C.T., 6:30 and 9 p.m. Monday July 24 -Recent NFB film "Temples of Time", U.C.T., 8:00 p.m. Admission Free.

George A. Kerr, Minister of Colleges and UniversitiE:s has announced. This reduction to 24 years tn the Group B age qualification for loan-grant assistance will take effect beginning with the fall semester, Mr. Kerr indicated, and should assist graduate students in particular, as well as students enrolled in long-term professional programs. Previously students had to ~e 25 years of age or married in order to have their resources assessed independently of parental income. As many as 2 000 Ontario students may be affected by the change which will be covered by funds already allocat~d to the Ontario Student Awards Program. The Minister also confirmed that the miscellaneous allowance provided under OSAP has been increased from $8.00 a week to $9.00 a week. This will amount to an additional $30fora30-weekacademic year and will affect mainly students living away from home. Last year a total of 64,500 of Ont?rio's P<;>st-sec_ondary students received OSAPass1stance, including 45,000 who qualified for a combination of_l?an ond provincial grant and 19,500 who qual1f1ed for Canada Student Loan only. This year the first $800 of any award will be Canada S!uden! Loan. _The total award including grant portion will take into account the increase in tuition fees in order to assist students with limited resources. The Students Awards Officers of Ontario's postsecondary institutions have been _aske?_to submit to the Ministry of Colleges and Univers1t1es for review applications from students who would be affected by the age reduction and ha_v 7 alrea?y received a Statement of Award, the Minister said. At present regular OSAP applications forwarded by the cofleges and universities are being processed and returned to the institutions in about three weeks. Reviews, special consideration cases, and applications incorrectly completed take about two weeks longer. To date over 30,000 regular applications have already been processed by the Student Awards Branch of the Ministry of Colleges and Universities. The final deadline for fall applications is September 30. Graduating Studentsl Students expecting to graduate in May, 1973 are requested to fill out potential graduate forms, which are available through the Office of the Registrar. Locker Evacuation Mr. Gordon Gaudry, Chief Security Officer of Lakehead University, announces that all lockers on campus must be emptied and locks removed by September 17, 1972. Issuing of lockers for the 1972-73 term will commence on that date. Any lockers found locked after that date will have the locks broken and contents removed. Innovative Course The problem of transporting education to out-lying areas has always been a sticky one in Northwestern Ontario. The Department of Mathematical Sciences, in conjunction with the Lakehead University Extension Department, has developed an approach which lessens the discomfort of travelling hundreds of miles through bitter weather often reaching temperatures of -50 degrees F. Mathematics s6 is a course specifically designed for the needs of the elementary school teacher. The course content is selected to provide the background and insight necessary to teach a modern mathematics program effectively. Also it ,fulfills the mathematics requirementfor the B.A. or the Liberal Science degree. The format can best be described as a correspondence course with a personal touch. Students meet for one week, with their instructor, 3 _h~u rs per d?y, at the beginning of the course. This Is to provide the common background necessary to proceed successfully with the remainder. In addition it gives the students an opportunity to meet their colleagues in the region who are also taking the course. The 'buddy system' where students assist one another in mastering the material, is greatly encouraged. The remaining part of the course is done by correspondence with specific assignments to be mailed in for correction. The instructor will meet with his students twoorthreetimesduringthe year in the various localities. In addition there is a once-a-week telephone 'hot-line' available where students can call the university for assistance. During one of the last t~o v.:eeks in Au~ust the initial week of the c.ourse Is being offered In Thunder Bay, Hearst, Little Current and Moose Factory. Also the course will be offered in Atikokan and Ken~ra commencing in September. The instructors involved are Mr. W. R. Allaway, Dr. J. Griffith, Dr. G. Vervoort, a nd Dr. J. Whitfield. �SUNDAY TUESDAY MONDAY WEDNI REGISTRATION, September, 1 3 Labor Day, University Closed 10 17 5 4 Re~istration for: orestry programs Off campus registration commences. 11 12 18 19 Registration and counselling for: The Faculty of Arts - English, geography, psychology, sociolo~y, anthropology and undeci ed majors.

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

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

VOLUME 5 ✓ NUMBER 11 SEPTEMBER 29, 1972 head University Review from departing editors, Peter Raffo and Ivan Hannaford. Russell Brown of the Eng1ish department will join him as assistant editor. Dr. Griffith will also continue in his present position as co-editor, with Dr. William Eames, of the Ontario Mathematics Gazette (a journal emphasizing intercommunication between school teachers, schools, and universities through consideration of new teaching methods, ideas, and techniques). The Lakehead University Review presents articles written by the scholar for the genera I reader. It is an interdisciplinary journal of the arts and sciences with a special interest in Central Canadian studies. Subscriptions are$3.50 annually (two issues); single copies are available at $1.75. The editors welcome expressions of interest from any member of the university community engaged in or acquainted with research they feel would be of interest to readers of the review. In Memoriam A gentle reminder to those members of the University community who were perhaps off-campus over the summer months, and as a result were not aware of the TIM RYAN MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP FUND. L. U. Foresters With Specimen Bags Contributions should be made payable to Lakehead University and forwarded to the Secretary of the University, Lakehead University. The burr oak, usually a prairie species, can be found on some high ground where the Whitefish River meets the Kaministiquia River. Theory has it that this is a relictual species, which flourished on high ground in the post - Ice Age Lake Agassiz, which eventually drained to form the Great Lakes as we know them. Such species remain, even though climatic conditions are now more favourable for boreal species, such as spruce and poplar. The Lakehead Amateur Radio Club in conjunction with the student amateurs here at the University will be welcoming Mr. Noel B. Eaton, VE3CJ on October 3, 1972. By the same token, deep gorges, such as Ouimet Canyon, still contain tundra species which remain from the time when ice covered most of Northern Ontario. Mr. Eaton, Director of the Canadian Division of the American Radio Relay League, Inc., will be available in the Faculty Lounge from 7:30 p.m. for an informal get-together with local hams. Such nuggets of knowledge make this particular region an endless source of fascination for foresters and naturalists alike. And Lakehead University foresters are exposed to this wealth of information through compulsory field study which is conducted for two weeks prior to registration each fall. Those people interested in the new D.O.C. proposed regulations and problems arising from extended frequency coverage for the United States amateurs should take this opportunity to come out and ask questions. L.U. Review This fall John Griffith o,t the Department of Mathematical Sciences assumes t!he editorship of The Lake- A total of $1,994.50 has been received to date. VE3LUE Activities The University amateur radio station VE3LUE is located in the Centennial Building, room 1031. For those who are I icensed, come and use the faci I ities. For those who may want to get their I icense, Code classes may be conducted if we get enough people. �Athletic Services The Lakehead University Athletic Service Program is a program of non-university credit instructional courses.

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

The first reaction may be "so what", but this one could have long range effects on the future of the Thunder Bay area, and in particular on the native population of the region. Dr. William S. Morris, Chairman of the Department of Philosophy and convener of the Senate Ad Hoc Com mittee to enquire into ways and means of fulfilling the University's responsibilities to native peoples, reported to Senate that a meeting of interested Uni versity faculty and local Indian repre" sentatives was held on Tuesday, Septem " ber 19. The University was represented by Pro fessor Ken Dawson, Dr. A.A. Asimi, Dr. Mary Black, Dr. James T. Angus, and Dr. Morris. Others included: Mr. Martin Bannon, Manager of the Fort William Indian ReserDr. w. S. Morris ve Band; Mr. Gerald McKay, Lakehead University Indian student from Trout Lake; Mr. Andrew Lac Seul of the Youth and Recrea tion Branch of the Ontario Department of Northwestern Affairs; Miss Rosemary Moffitt, Executive Director of the Donner Foundation based in the University of Toronto; Mr. Robert Conley, representing Mrs. Yvonne Conley, Secretary-Treasurer, Ontario Metis and Non status Indian Association; Mrs. Les I ie Wuttunee, Guidance Counsellor, Ontario Indian Affairs; Mr. Xavier Michon, Director of the Thunder Bay Indian Friendship Centre, along with his assistant, Miss Mary Alice Smith. Discussion ranged widely and was exploratory in nature. It touched upon scholarship programs; up grading at the University to prepare native students for University studies; education as a tool and an enculturating factor; means of improving educational standards and motivation. It was unanimously agreed that Mr. J. Dymond, Director of the Transitional Year Program for disadvantaged students, be invited to Thunder Bay as soon as possible to lead discussions relating to the i:;ossibility of instituting a similar upgrading scheme at Lakehead University. VOLUME 5 NUM.BER 12 OCTOBER 13, 1972 Dr. Morris, who deserves credit for single-handedly bringing about this opportunity for co-operation be- · tween the University and the native peoples of the Thunder Bay area, announced that the committee be flexible in its constitution, inviting to its meetings those who are informed and concerned about different aspects of problems within its terms of reference. He also announced that Dr. A.A. Asimi was elected committee Chairman, as the representative of Lakehead University. And Mr. Andrew Lac Seul was ac claimed Secretary, as the representative of the native people of the region. International Recognition Lakehead University was the only smaller university in the world represented at a recent gathering of internationally recognized researchers in the field of geology. The University was represented by Dr. Henri Loubat, a member of the Department of Geology for the past five years who is dedicated to geological research in the region of Northwestern Ontario. His taking part in such an important international meeting indicates that even though Lakehead University is relatively young, it has professors who are being recognized throughout the world for their work. The Penrose Conference, held periodically by the Geological Society of America, took place in Oregon and California between September 14 and 25 this year. One of the most prestigious meetings for geologists throughout the world, the Penrose Conference usually focuses upon a narrow theme, and involves a smaller number of the world's leading specialists in that particular field. The purpose for this is to promote communications and co-operation between experts in the hope that new scientific discoveries wi 11 be ins pi red. A format of day excursions, coupled with informal talks and discussions in the evenings was chosen to that end. This year the Penrose Conference concentrated upon the nature and genesis of ophiolites. Dr. Loubat was invited as a consequence of his research on volcanic ophiolites in the French and Italian Alps, as well as his collaborations with the Canadian Oceanographic Institute during their study of rocks dredged from the Mid-Atlantic Ridge two summers ago. Ophiolites are a complex family of magmatic rocks originally formed at great depths in some ancient or recent oceanic areas. But why devote a major scientific meeting to a study of ophiolites? Actually, this family of rocks is one of the most fashionable areas of study for contemporary geologists because there is a feeling that ophiolites can give information about the way in which the �✓:-- J, • deepest zones of the earth's mantle were formed, as wel I as information relevant to major geological phenomena, such as continental drift, sea-floor spreading, and other important astronomical implications. Besides.as it was discussed at the Conference.many major economical deposits -are - tightly connected with the genesis of ophiol ites. One More Time, Maestrol The third new Minister of Colleges and Universities in thepast year under the administration of Premier William Davis was appointed on September 29, 1972. The Honourable Jack McNie, 52 years of age and the father of five teenage children, was first elected to the Ontario Legislature in October, 1971. His previous political involvement had been in various executive party posts at the campus, riding, provincial, and nationa I levels. The member for Hamilton West has been president of the firm of Russell T. Kelley (Advertising, Public Relations, Marketing Research) since 1946. His community involvement has included board memberships for the Hamilton Art Gallery, Hamilton Performing Arts Corporation, Royal Hamilton College of Music, Junior Achievement and Communications Advisory Board for Mohawk College. And he is past chairman of the Hamilton Theatre-Auditorium Co-ordinating Committee. He is also a member of the Hamilton Club, Chamber of Commerce, Canadian Club, Rotary Club, and the Hamelton Advertising and Sales Club. Dr. Loubat indicates an Eskimo soap stone carving. Soap stones represent a particularly interesting variety of ophiolites. Dr. Loubat is currently engaged in a very careful examination of ophiolites found in the Pre-Cambrian Shield. These rocks were formed eons ago when they were part of eventual volcanic ridges along the floor of a very old ocean. Dr. Loubat observes from the comparison of these Archean (ancient) ophiolites beside those currently being formed in the North Atlantic Ocean, that at some time in the distant past the earth could have been much hotter, and its crust very much thinner. This resulted in rocks being formed in much different ways from those now being formed. Such research may result in a clearer picture of the way in which the earth's crust evolved, The Penrose Conference involved not more than thirtyfive experts in ophiolites from the United States, Russia, France, Italy, Switzerland, Holland, Brazil, Venezuela,. Australia, and Tasmania. Dr. Loubat explained that the general feeling at the end of the Penrose meetings was one of enthusiasm and belief that new discoveries of great scientific impact would result from the fruitful exchange of ideas of some of the world's leading geologists. Mr. McNie is currently completing the B.A. Degree at McMaster University via extension courses. He has attained 16 of 17 credits to date. Under the Davis administration, Mr. McNie has served on the Social Development Standing Committee and the Select Committee Inquiring into the Uti lization of Educationa I Faci I ities. Geographical Activities The Department of Geography has three field excursions planned which are open to anyone wishing to take part and may well be of interest to many. October 9:30 to shore to and land 14 - Lake Superior shoreline excursion 5:00 p.m. A visit to the North Minnesota consider past and present shore processes forms. $3.00 October 20 and 21 - Air Familiarization Excursions In co-operation with the Thunder Bay Flying Club we have arranged for a series of one hour flights around a 90 mile circuit of Thunder Bay and Black Bay. Each will carry three persons and will be accompanied by a brief written guide. Cost $8.00 November - Minneapolis - weekend Urban Excursion in co-operation with the University of Minne, 1. It �is planned to examine the urban geography of central Minneapolis. This excursion is in preparation. Approximate cost $20.00 or less. Detai Is of these excursions and signing Ii sts wi II be found in the Geography Student Notice board in the corridor of Wing D, Main Building. The Student Geographical Society opens its activities with a lecture and social on Wednesday, October 11. Guest speaker will be Mr. K. Hearnden, Chairman of the Department of Forestry and Chairman of the Lakehead Conservation Authority. Everyone is cordially invited to attend. Campus Classroom The Faculty of Education at Lakehead University has developed a new tool for training teachers. It is referred to as "campus classroom" and it has been in operation since the opening of the Fall Term. "Campus classroom" is specially designed to al low teachers in training to observe actual teaching situations unfold before them. This is accomplished through a one-way viewing wall from an adjoining observation area which is also equipped to pick up every sound in the classroom. Although at first this may strike some as a frightening, Orwellian invasion of privacy and human dignity, in actual practice such is not the case. This program involves importing an entire class from a local school, and establishing it in the "campus classroom". Mrs. Loretta Margarit, a grade 4 teacher from Agnew H. Johnston primary school was the first to volunteer. She found that the class felt honoured and "special" to be chosen. The first few days were a total loss because the kids were excited about touring the University and playing tic-tac-toe with the computer. But it did not take long for them to adjust to a very fruitful month of learning. Not only did the student teachers find it a treat to be able to observe and listen in on a lesson in progress without interrupting it, but at least eight sets of parents of the twenty-eight children in Mrs. Margarit's class took advantage of the opportunity to see how their children were being taught. Expanding Services Local Secondary School principals gathered at Lakehead University on Thursday afternoon for the purpose of discussing liaison between the University and the high schools during the coming year. During the course of that meeting, Dr. Andrew D. Booth, President of Lakehead University, announced that the University is planning an expansion of its services to high school students. First, the Library is currently working out a 5¥stem. whereby all high school student!:: will bave ccm:mle.t.e library privileges. Secondly, Dr. Booth emphasized that gifted high school students would be allowed to enroll in University courses upon the recommendation of teachers and principals. Courses of this nature would be free of charge. And credits thus accumulated would count towards a student's degree or diploma. Prophets On Main Street The Prophets on Main Street is the provocative title of a lecture-discussion series jointly sponsored by the Thunder Bay Counci I of Clergy and Lakehead University Extension. Local clergy and university faculty will be discussion leaders with Reverend Gordon Daley i ntroduci ng the series on October 17 and Mr. Arnold Edinborough, distinguished Canadian editor and lecturer the special guest speaker at a public meeting on November 14. Classes will be held in Room 1024 of the Faculty of Education Building, Lakehead University. Registration will take place the night of the first class, October 17. L. U.

The Government of Ontario is one of the original sponsors. The Conference is under the Distinguished Patronage of His Excellency The Right Honourable Roland Michener, Governor-General of Canada. c.c., C.D., The Conference is also honoured to have as Patrons the Right Honourable Lester B. Pearson, P.C., O.B.E., M.A., LL.D. and the Honourable Leslie Frost, P.C., Q.C., LL.D., D.C.L. The membership of the Convening Board of the Conference is made up of the following persons: Professor J. Jameson Bond, University of Alberta7 Professor Robert Bone, university of Saskatchewan; Professor J. D. Chapman, University of British Columbia; Professor Yves Dube, Laval Universityi Professor J. c. Gilson, University of Manitoba7 Mr. Christian de Laet, Secretary-General, Canadian Council of Resource Ministers7 Mr. Ian Macdonald, Deputy Treasurer, Province of Ontarioi Mr. David Morgan, Lakehead University7 Professor E. R. W. Neale, Memorial University of Newfoundland; Professor Norman Pearson, University of Guelph; Mr. James Ramsay, Department of Trade and Development, Province of Ontarior Mr. Richard Rehmer, Q.C.; Mr. Norman Simpsoni Professor W. Y. Watson, Laurentian University; �- 2 - Professor F. T .. M,. White, McGill University. The function of the Convening Board is to determine the objectives, the format and all general policy for the creation and administration and conduct of the Conference. The objects of the conference have been defined by the convening Board to be: "To examine the practicability of a continuing long range economic development and land use plan for the urbanization, industrialization populating and general development of Mid-Canada; and to this end to use the concept of a Mid-Canada Development Corridor as a focal point. And if such a long range economic development and land use plan is found to be both feasible and practicable, then to formulate recommendations and suggested course of action to be delivered to the Federal and Provincial Governments, to financial, commercial and industrial sectors of the National Community and to Canadian Universities." The Mid-Canada Development Corridor Concept includes plans for new cities, harbours, railways, industries, roads to be built over the next 20 to 100 years to receive part of the 100 million population growth expected in Canada by 2067. The Concept envisages a coast-to-coast development corridor from two to five hundred miles in width running from Newfoundland through Labrador, northern Quebec, south of James Bay, then northwest �- 3 - across the unopened Ontario clay belt, through Northern Manitoba with a spur into Churchill, Saskatchewan and Alberta where the Corridor splits into three parts, one going into the Northwest Territories up the Mackenzie River Valley to the Arctic Ocean at Inuvik and Tuktoyatuk, another into the Yukon Territory and the third into the Prince Rupert sector of British Columbia. While the Mid-Canada Development Corridor Concept will be used as a focal and starting point for the conference, it may well be that the Conference will find that, in principle, a completely different approach to a Plan for the Mid-North should be taken. Thus the Conference is in no way bound or committed to the Development Corridor Concept. Should the recommendations and suggested courses of action as formulated by the Conference support the creation of a Mid-Canada Development Plan it is intended that the Federal, Provincial (exclusive of New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island) and Territorial Governments should prepare a Plan in co-operation with the Universities of Canada and Canadian controlled private enterprise. The Convening Board invited Richard Rohmer,Q.C. to be the Chairman of the conference, and President of the Mid-Canada Development Corridor Foundation, Inc., a non-profit corporation controlled by three of the sponsoring Universities. Professor Norman Pearson, Chairman of Th&Centre For Resource Development, University of Guelph is Secretary of the Foundation. Mr. Adam H. Zimmerman,C.A., Vice-President and Comptroller of Noranda Mines Limited is Treasurer. The officers of the Foundation serve without �- 4 remuneration. The function of the Foundation is to provide the corporate structure through which the Conference funds will be raised and all staff and administrative expenses will be met. The Foundation has been qualified for income tax exemptions, and all payments and donations to it will be deductible. The Conference will be held in two separate sessions. The first will be August 20th, 21st and 22nd of 1969 and the second in August of 1970. Field trips through the Corridor and to Siberia and Northern Scandina~ will be taken in the period between Sessions. The First Session of the Mid-Canada Development Corridor Conference will be held at Lakehead University. Field trips through the Corridor will occur during the months of September, October and November of this year and will be of approximately ten days duration. The field trip to Siberia and Northern Scandinavia is planned for June of 1970, with a time requirement of about two weeks. This trip will be optional for all Conference participants, whereas the Corridor field trip is essential for all members. The Second Session of the Conference will be held during August of 1970 at a place in the Corridor and on dates yet to be selected. At the First Session of the Conference the problems - as opposed to the solutions-related to urbanization, industrialization, transportation, resource use and many other factors eoncerning the growth, development and planning of the Mid-North will be discussed. �- 5 - The Conference will deal with eight major topics and will be divided for its ongoing work into eight Groups each assigned to one topic as well as to consideration of the general theme of the Conference. Those Canadians who present papers at the First Session will provide their respective Groups and each Group Leader with a point of departure. While some of those who deliver papers may not be "of the Mid-North" all of them have a full understanding of the growth problems confronting Canada and are fully qualified to speak on the subjects which they have accepted. Each of the Group Leaders will be fully experienced in Canada's Mid-North and will be able to supply the backg round and direction necessary to best guide his Group in its work over the year's period. The topics which will be considered and the Conference Groups which are formed to deal with them are: Urbanization and Industrialization Transportation and Communication Environment Human and Economic Factors Resources Constitutional and Jurisdictional Matters Technology Financing and Trade Implications �- 6 - Some of those who have agreed to prepare opening papers are: Dr. o. M. Solandt, Chairman, Science Council of Canada - Technology; Father John Page, University of Manitoba - Environment; the Honourable Dufferin Roblin, P.C., Executive Vice-President of Canadian Pacific Investments Limited - Human and Economic Factors. Other distinguished Canadians have been and will be approached by the Convening Board to deliver papers on the remaining topics. The Corridor Field Trips during the Fall of this year will be designed to meet the interest of each specific Group. It is anticipated that some of the major points to be visited will be the west coast of Newfoundland, Churchill Falls, Schefferville, Val d'Or, Rouyn, Lakehead, Moosonee, Churchill, Thompson, Hay River, Yellowknife, Peace River region, Prince Rupert, Whitehorse, Inuvik and Tuktoyatuk. There will ee many other places of special interest to be seen. The Field Trip to Siberia and Northern Scandinavia will be for the purpose of observing at first hand urbanization and industrialization experience achieved in areas whichare comparable or even more difficult than Canada's Mid-North. The Conference hopes to visit such places as Kirana in Sweden and Norilsk, Irkutsk and other important northern cities in Siberia. A few days at Expo '70 in Japan on the way home will add to the trip. �- 7 - At the Second Session of the Conference (to be held in August of 1970 - place and dates to be selected) each Group will formulate and present recommendations and suggested courses of action pertaining to the Group's topic and to the general theme of the Conference. The report of each Group will then be discussed by the Conference in plenary session. The recommendations and findings of the Conference will be recorded, published and distributed on a nationwide basis in accordance with the Objects of the Conference. There will be one hundred and fifty seats at the MidCanada Development Corridor Conference. Twenty-five of these will be for Canadian Universities, fifty for representatives of the Federal, Provincial and Territorial governments, and seventy-five for representatives of Canadian industrial, commercial and financial firms, labour organizations, the professions and spokesmen for the Indian and Eskimos of Canada. Because of the limited number of seats the invitations to participate will be on a selective basis. It is believed that the work of the Conference and the ultimate establishment of a Plan for the Mid-North should be exclusively undertaken by Canadians. Accordingly invitations to participate in the Conference will be extended only to Canadian citizens and corporations and other organizations which are Canadian controlled. On the other hand provision will be made for 11 observers 11 whose origins or interests may not be Canadian. The funding of the Conference will be principally by payments received from participating firms and governmental departments �- 8 - each of which will be asked to pay the costs of its Conference representative. These costs are now budgeted at Three Thousand Five Hundred Dollars which includes all transportation, accomodation and other expenses for both Sessions of the Conference including the Corridor Field Trip. In addition a further amount of Fifteen Hundred Dollars is requested which funds will be utilized to support the attendance of the representaives of the participating Universities. The cost of the Field Trip to Siberia and Northern Scandi~avia {which is optional) is estimated at a further Two Thousand Dollars. All payments are tax deductible. In addition to the monies already received from participating corporations the Government of Ontario has made a substantial contribution. It is hoped that the Federal and other Provincial Governments will see fit to make comparable grants in addition to sending representatives to the Conference. The letters patent of Mid-Canada Development Corridor Foundation, Inc., provide that when the work of the Foundation is finished any funds then remaining are to be distributed to Canadian Universities for the furtherance of research into the continuing development of Canada's Mid-North. Provision will be made for those of the press, television, film and radio media who wish to cover any aspect of the Conference including the field trips through the Mid-Canada Development Corridor, Siberia and Scandinavia4 �- 9 - An Advisory Council to the Conference has been established. The first members of this group are Mr. N. R. Crump, Chairman & Chief Executive Officer, Canadian Pacific Railway; Mr. Arnold Hart, Chairman, Bank of Montreal; Mr. E. C. Bovey, President, Northern and Central Gas Company : Mr. c. P. Baker, President, Foundation Company of Canad.a Limited; Brig. H. W. Love, Executive Director, The Arctic Institute of North America. The Advisory Council will be canvassed from time to time in order that their opinions can be obtained in relation to Conference policy and other matters. Their counsel will be most necessary to the success of the Conference. The Convening Board intends to make this examination of the potential of our Mid-North the most important and significant ever undertaken on the future growth of Canada. Canada will have an additional one hundred million citizens one hundred years from now. Canada today has the technological ability, the human resources, the wealth to embark on a planned scheme for the opening up, urbanization, industrialization and populating of the massive habitable regions which lie in Mid-Canada so that those one hundred million will not have to remain huddled against the border of the United States, so that the incredible treasures of our natural resources can become accessible, so that they can be taken from above or from under the ground, processed and made by our people into manufactured products providing employment for our citizens and finished goods for competitive consumption in the expanding markets of the world. �- 10 - Canada can continue to grow in its Mid-North sporadically, without plan, virtually by accident of discovery of resources7 or it can grown in accordance with a far reaching plan of economic development and land resources use which will provide for new cities, new transportation links, new methods of climatic control, new environmental techniques, new harbours, new technology of all kinds and, finally, a new common objective or National Purpose for the people of Canada.

Eleven universities across Canada from Newfoundland to British Columbia have joined with the Government of Ontario to sponsor this major Canadian Conference to examine the advantages of establishing a nation wide policy and plan for the development of Canada's Mid-North. At the first session of the Conference at Lakehead University papers by outstanding authorities will be given on the problems and potential of the Mid-North under the following topic headings: Resources; Industrialization; Urbanization - human and environmental factors; Transportation and Communication; and Financial and Trade Implications. In the fall of 1969 Conference participants will visit carefully chosen places in the Corridor in order to familiarize themselves at first hand with the living, working and other conditions of the Mid-North. In August of 1970 the second session of the Conference will be held at another place in the Corridor.

This factor, when combined with the advanced methods of town and community planning and construction makes the "assault" of man on Canada North one which cannot help but be successful. It is therefore an assault which Canadians are obliged to make, in their own interests and in the interests of their own futµre. The promise of Canada over the next 100 years is growth, opportunity and prosperity. The results of the recent Kennedy Round more firmly than ever point Canada in the direction of being among the world's great manufacturing nations, a producer of finished goods, Canada North mu$t be opened up, not only to provide new living regions for our people, new extraction from our natural resources but--aswell--new opportunities to build .industries wnich will manufacture finished products for shipment to all the world. The creation of the Canada North Development Corridor is seen as a wholly Canadian undertaking, financed and owned by individual Canadians, by wholly Canadian corporations and by the Governments of Canada. It is seen as a great enterprise in which people--from all over the world--will participate, sharing in the opening of Canada North as a mainstream of Canada's future. The Acres Research group has made an absolutely essential contribution in establishing the validity of the planning, opening and settlement of Canada North, whether in the form of the Canada North Development Corridor as I have proposed it or in a form similar to this concept. To the Acres organization, who accepted the concept of the Canada North Development Corridor as a challenge which should be proved or disproved• I express my gratitude. That their research has substantiated and confirmed the concept, is indeed gratifying. If there is to be a next step, it is the commissioning of a thorough research program based upon the Canada North Development Corridor concept, or a proposal similar to it. Such a research program would require a budget of between two and three million dollars which, ideally, should be provided by the Federal Government. The alternative would be a cost-sharing program with the Provincial Governments involved, in the same way that the recently commissioned Churchill study is to be cost-shared by the Federal and Manitoba Governments. If the Federal Government should fail to take the initiative, then the Provincial Governments involved should consider providing the detailed research on their own. �-3- It is hoped that the concept of the Canada North Development Corridor, together with this excellent preliminary research document by the Acres organiz~tion, will make.a dramatic, meaningful and realistic contribution to the growth and opportunity which Canadians believe will be created in Canada North in the next one hundred years. It is also hoped that th~ Canada North Development Corridor will find a g~eat measure of acceptance and support among the people of Canada and among all our political parties. R.H.R.
