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 courses 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. �Mid-Canada Development Corridor Conference MID-CANADA DEVELOPMENT CORRIDOR CONFERENCE A two-part "Mid-Canada Development Corridor" Conference on the feasibility and practicability of the preparation of a long-range economic development and land use plan for Canada's habitable Mid-North will be held in 1969 under the sponsorship of the University of Guelph, Lakehead University, Laurentian University and the Government of Ontario. The theme of the Conference will be the Mid-Canada Development Corridor Concept which includes plans for new cities, harbours, railways, industries, roads to be built over the next 50 to 100 years to receive part of the 100 million population growth expected in Canada by 2067. Early in 1967 the idea of a transportation and development corridor was taken by Richard Roh mer, of Toronto, to Norman Simpson, President of Acres Limited, who agreed that his firm would undertake its research. The Acres Group is Canada's largest totally Canadian Engineering organization. The combined efforts of Acres and Mr. Roh mer resulted in their jointly producing the Rohmer-Acres Concept of a Mid-Canada Development Corridor which was first published as a Centennial Project at the beginning of July, 1967. 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 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 lnuvik and Tuktoyatuk, another into the Yukon Territory -and the third into the Prince Rupert sector of British Columbia. The provinces and the territories through which the Development Corridor passes will be asked to join the Conference as co-sponsors. �The Government of Canada has already agreed to a full participation in the Conference. The first organizational meeting of the Convening Board of the Conference was held on August 7th with representatives of Guelph, Lakehead and Laurentian Universities and the Government of Ontario in attendance. The general format and method of organization and financing of the Conference were decided upon at this meeting. The Conference is to be divided into two Sessions. The first will be held at Lakehead University on August 20th, 21st and 22nd, 1969. The second Session will be held early in 1970, at a place and on dates to be decided. The August, 1969, meeting of the Conference will discuss the problems, as opposed to the solutions, of the future and long-range urbanization, industrialization, populating and the general development of Canada's Mid-North. Papers will be delivered by outstanding Canadian authorities on eight major topics: Transportation and Communications, Resources, Environment, Human Factors, Jurisdictional and Constitutional Aspects, Technology, Urbanization and Industrialization, Financing. The Conference will be limited to one hundred and sixty persons. Each of the participants will be assigned to a working group of approximately twenty. In turn each group will study and examine the objectives of the Conference in relation to one of the major topics. After the first Session of the Conference adjourns in August, 1969, and before the second Session , each group will take part in a field trip to various places of interest throughout the entire Mid-Canada Development Corridor and will see at first hand the existing situation in the Mid-North. During the same period, about fifty Conference members will participate in an additional field trip through Siberia and Northern Sweden where the experience in urbanization, industrialization and general economic development is significant. The field trip to Siberia will depend upon the geo-political climate of the day. Early in 1970, the Conference wi 11 reconvene outside Ontario and inside the Corridor, to discuss solutions and the practicability and feasibility of a long-range economic development and land use plan for Canada's Mid-North. At that meeting each working group will prepare and submit recommendations to the plenary Conference for discussion and debate and for amendment, adoption or rejection. �The findings of the Conference will then be submitted to the Federal Government and the Provincial and Territorial Governments through which the Mid-Canada Development Corridor passes. The question whether the Conference will conclude with its 1970 Session or carry on in continuing sessions is yet to be decided. There will be one hundred and sixty seats at the Conference. The preliminary allocation will be: ten seats for the lecturers; fifty seats for Federal, Provincial and Territory representatives; seventy-five seats for Canadian "captains" of industry, commerce and finance; and twenty-five seats·for Canadian universities. Because of the limited number of seats the invitations will be on a selective basis. The expenses of all participants, such as travelling and hotel accommodation, will be paid by the Conference. 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 Sweden. Policy concerning the direction and operation of the Conference will be under the control of the Convening Board which is made up of representatives of each of the sponsors, representatives of the Government of Canada, Mr. Norman Simpson and Richard Rohmer. The size of the Convening Board will be increased to accommodate representatives of such other governmental or university sponsors as may participate. The administration and organization will be in the hands of a newly created non-profit corporation, Mid-Canada Development Corridor Foundation, Inc., which will also be the fund raising vehicle through which the Conference will receive its monies. It is anticipated that all donations to the Foundation will be tax deductible. An application for this privilege has been made. The letters patent of Mid-Canada Development Corridor Foundation, Inc., provide that when the work of the Foundation is finished any funds then remaining will be divided among the three sponsoring Universities to be used for the furtherance of research into the continuing development of Canada's Mid-North. The Board of Directors of the Foundation are Professor Norman Pearson (University of Guelph), David Morgan (Lakehead University), Dr. W. Y. Watson (Laurentian University), Norman Simpson, President, Acres Limited, Richard Rohmer, Q.C. In addition, an advisory Council to the Conference will be appointed from among the invited participants. 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 financing of the Conference will be through substantial donations by the corporations, trade unions and national associations whose representatives participate in the Conference. The Conference will seek a minimum contribution for each of the seventy-five seats allocated to this group. Funds will also be received from the Government of Ontario and from such other governments - Federal, Provincial or Territorial - which join as sponsors. The Convening Board is hopeful that all invited governments will accept the proposal to join the original sponsors in order that the scope of the Conference might be as nation-wide in its support and involvement as is possible. The Conference will also seek from certain of the corporate participants the use of their aircraft for a period of about ten days during the period August, 1969, to early 1970, in order to transport each of the eight working groups of the Conference on its field trip through the Mid-Canada Development Corridor. 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 sectors of our country 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. Canada can continue to grow in its Mid-North sporadically, without plan, virtually by accident of discovery of resources; or it can grow 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. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Where will they live? Where will Will they simply increase the concentration of today's population that is physically and economically oriented to the United States border? Or will a significant number of them choose to live in model cities and towns planned from the ground up with people in mind, that will be built in the rich vast and beautiful land of Canada's Mid North? The starting point of the Conference relates to the MidCanada Development Corridor Concept originated by the Conference Chairman as a possible long-range economic development, land use and resources use plan for Canada's habitable Mid-North. However, the Conference is in no way bound to the corridor Concept 1 and might ultimately emerge with an entirely different approach to a policy and plan for the Mid-North. Inherent in the Mid-Canada Development Corridor Concept is the belief that only with a policy and plan can intelligent and rational development take place. We in Canada are attempting to meet the problems of developing our North in a fragmented way. Real success will only be achieved when the necessary resources qan« our Federal and Provincial Governments, our industry and our society can �Page 5 (Cont'd.) be channelled into a recognized, co-ordinated, and suitably financed program - a Canada wide policy and plan. �Page 6 Montage of Press clippings re the "Concept" as put forward by Rehmer - -- �Page 7 Copy: A concept ..... in action The total feasibility of a Mid-Canada Development Corridor, as conceived by Richard Rehmer, Q.C., hinged upon one primary factor: transportation. Could Canada build an east-west railway through the Mid-North, one that would pick up and connect existing north-south railways and create a transportation grid for the movement of heavy bulk materials over long distances in all weather? And if this could be done, could the corridor -- assisted by the transportation grid support new long-cycle towns and cities, new manufacturing and other industries, new ports, airfields, communications systems, highways, pipe lines and all of the facilities essential to permanent urbanization? one of the largest engineering firms in the world -- The Acres Group -- was retained to research this question in detail. Acres answer was "yes" and it was contained in a study that is today regarded as a basic inventory of Canada's assets: its minerals-oil, gas, agriculture, hydro potential, population, tourism, railways, air services, pipe lines, timber, climate and other factors. From Rohmer's original concept of a Mid-Canada Development Corridor, underscored by the extensive research of Acres, a concept is evolving. �Page 8 Montage of news clips announcing plans for conferences, field trips, formation of Foundation. �Page 9 Mid-Canada Development Corridor Conference First Session - August 18th to 22nd, 1969 - Lakehead University Trips through Corridor - September, October, November 1969 Visit to northern Scandinavia and Siberia - June 1970 - optional Second Session - August 1970 150* Senior representatives of sponsoring universities, business, industry and government from all parts of Canada will participate in the Mid-Canada Development Corridor Conference. First Session: The first session will be devoted primarily to the consideration of the problems related to the future development of the middle north. Keynote speakers and panelists will give papers under the following general headings: (1) Urbanization and Industrialization (2) Resources (Human and Natural) (3) Transportation and Communications (4) Human and Environmental Factors (5) Financial and Trade Implications Each of the conference participants will be assigned to a discussion group of approximately 20 people. Each group will have participants from government, industry and universities in it. Group discussions will occur after the presentation a:t r each major topic. Discussions will be lead by• personswho due to their special skills or experience are considered to be the �Page 9 (Cont'd.} most knowledgeable in Canada concerning the Mid North region. Trips through Corridor During the September, October and November 1969 period Conference members will be asked to take part in 7 to 10 day field trips through the Corridor area. Groups of 20 persons will make five or six stops, at carefully chosen places in the Corridor, in order to familiarize themselves with living, working and other conditions at first hand. Group Leaders at the Lakehead University Session and for the tours are being chosen from Canadians with the most experience and knowledge of the Mid-North. Visit to Siberia It is planned that in May or June of 1970 approximately 50 Conference members will be able to tour Siberia and Northern Scandinavia to see, at first hand, developments in these countries. Arrangements for this tour are somewhat dependant on the gee-political climate at the time. Second Session: In August of 1970 the Conference will reconvene, at a place in the Corridor and on dates yet to be determined. The intention of the Second Session is to create recommendations and conclusions which will then be published and put forward to Government and to the people of Canada. �Page 9 (Cont'd.) We feel that the discussion of stimulating topics and ideas by university, government and industrial leaders at the two formal Sessions of the Conference, as well as during the tours through the Corridor, will produce a most exciting "cross pollenization" learning effect for all participants. * 25 speakers, panelists and group discussion leaders. 25 Federal, Provincial and Territorial representatives. 25 Canadian university representatives. 75 leaders of Canadian industry, business and labour.

Booth of Lakehead University at Thunder Bay.Ontario, the heads of six institutions of higher learning formally ratified the Lake Superior Association of Colleges and Universities. The institutional heads attending the meeting were: President Booth of Lakehead University; President Robert Lovett of Mount Senario College in Ladysmith, Wisconsin; President Malcolm McLean of Northland College in Ashland, Wisconsin; President F. X. Shea of the College of St. Scholastica in Duluth, Minnesota; Provost Raymond W. Darland of the University of Minnesota, Duluth and Chancellor Karl W. Meyer of the University of Wisconsin-Superior. Other participants at the meeting were: Dr. W. D. R. Eldon; Dr. Charles Twining; Professor Douglas Lemons; Sister Mary Odile Cahoon; Dr. Robert L. Heller; Dr. David A. Vose, Dr. John Haugland. Collaboration among the six institutions, three private, three public, which are located in Wisconsin, Minnesota and the Province of Ontario, has existed for some time. Institutional heads have met during the past year on five different occasions and the action taken today comes as the culmination of an extended preparation. The resolution embodying the aims of the Association adopted by the six Presidents and Chancellors reads as follows: "The purpose of the Associatioo is to further the capabi I iti es of its member i nstitutions 'in meeting the regional, national and international needs for higher education and research through sharing and cooperative development of resources." The six institution;! executives wi 11 constitute the Board of Directors of the Lake Superior Association of Colleges and Universities. They agreed to a rotating chairmanship and elected President F. X. Shea of the College of St. Scholastica to fill this post initially. One of the first priorities for the new Association wi 11 be to seek the services of an Executive D irect9r who wi 11 implement a variety of cooperative ventures which the separate faculties will propose through the Steering Committee. "The fundamental idea is to create the intellectual excitement and the breadth of research services needed in the Lake Superior region," said President Shea in his announcement of the Association's inauguration. "None of us feel capable of serving these aims alone to the extept they deserve. In the present state of political and ,financial support for higher education cooperation becomes a necessity to OCTOBER 27, 1972 achieve the scope that our situation here in the Lake Superior region calls for. For this reason we are breaking new ground and we feel that the potential effects of this can be both large and long lasting." Achievement Recognized Harry D. Elmslie, associate professor in the School of Business Administration at Lakehead University, has returned from study leave at the University of Illinois in Urbana - Champaign. While on leave, Professor Elmslie completed the course work for a doctorate in accountancy ,achievinga grade poi nt average of 4.8 out of a possible 5.0. As a result of his academic performance, he was asked to join Beta Alpha Psi, the national scholastic honorary in accountancy in the United States, a body composed of the top ten percent of accountancy graduates in the counProfessor Elmslie try. Professor Elmslie joined the School of Business Administration in 1965 as its founding chairman. He holds an honours bachelor of arts degree in business administration from Waterloo Lutheran University, a master of business administration degree from York University and is a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Ontario. For Prospective M.D. 's Application packages for entrance to McMaster Medical School for the 1973 session are available in the Dean of Students Office. The McMaster Medical Team visited Lakehead University October 12. In case you missed that meeting, McMaster offers a special program, available to applicants with university degrees of good standing, and with persona I qua I ities required for the practice of General Medicine. Further information and application material can be obtained through the Office of the Dean of Students. Elected To Board On October 11, 1972, Mr. Donald Ayre, Secretary of Lakehead University, announced the result of the Senate election of a Senate representative to the Board of Governors. Dr. George K. Fleming, Chairman of the School of Engineering, was elected for a three-year term. �Philanthropist Recognized The founding Chancellor of Lakehead University was honoured recently at Carleton University in Ottawa. The fol lowing write-up appeared in the October 13 issue of This Week Times Two. "At a special luncheon on October 6, Senator Norman McLeod Paterson was honoured for his gift of $25,000 to the Institute of Soviet and East European Studies for student support. Each year for five years $5,000 will be available in fellowships for students working towards their master's degree in the Institute. Introducing Senator Paterson, Professor P. E. Uren, Director of the Institute, expressed Carleton's gratitude, noted the Senator's many other generosities to Carleton and also mentioned that "Senator Paterson probably lives closer to the Russians than any one else here; his garden backs on the Soviet Embassy." Senator Paterson, in his remarks, noted that he was "happy to be able to contribute to higher education now. I had little opportunity for such study when I was young." The Senator also entertained the luncheon with many stories including "The New Year's Eve the Soviet Embassy Burned Down." A prominent_Canapian industriali~t and businessman, Senator Paterson has a long connection with Carleton. He joi·ned Carleton's Board of Governor's in 1947 and served unti I 1968. A grant from Senator Paterson enabled the School of International Affairs to be established at Carleton in 1966. In 1957 he chaired the building and development campaign for Carleton and again served as honorary chairman of the Carleton University campaign for funds in 1965. Senator Paterson's own gift to the University helped to build the first arts building, Norman Paterson Hal I. In 1959 he received an honorary degree from Carleton." Campus Notes •Mr. J. H.

Extension News Residents of Kenora and Dryden, enrolled in the extension sections of Geography 3a6 being offered in those communities, travelled to Thunder Bay on two weekends during October to participate in intensive field studies in the city. Members of the Geography staff, Davies, Martin, and Batey, collaborated in introducing the students to basic elements of the urban environment not found in smaller communities. Three members of the Geography Department, Dr. Phillips, Dr. Davies, and Mr. Martin, attended a dinner given by the Northwestern Ontario Geography Teachers' Association. A lecture on the Canadian Arctic was delivered by Mr. Dan Langi I le, a geography graduate of Lakehead University, who served as an education officer for two years in the northern Yukon. �sion. In the afternoon they met in smaller disciplinegroups. Enrolment Picture Enrolment at Ontario's colleges of applied arts and technology is continuing to increase while university enrolment is levelling off, according to preliminary enrolment data released today by the Hon. Jack McNie, Minister of Colleges and Universities. Full-time post-secondary enrolment figures submitted by the 22 colleges totalled 39,914 an increase of 5,560 or just over 13% above last year's enrolment across the system. Full-time enrolment at Ontario's universities increased by a modest 1% across the system for a total of 133,853 compared with last year's 132,689. Undergraduate enrolment was up 1,722 and graduate enrolment down 559 according to the universities' October submissions. These totals include the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education an~ Ryerson Polytechnical Institute.

About thirty-five biology teachers of the Thunder Bay District used this first get together of the 197273 academic year to establish a plan for further meetings. They decided to meet at least two more times during the school year to listen to lectures from biologists. They are convinced that such meetings wi 11 broaden their interests in biology, and consequently that their students will profit. To initiate the lecture series, Dr. W. Graham of the Lakehead University Biology Department presented a lecture based on his research experiences and the biology lessons that grew out of this research. Opportunity was taken to confirm the mutual desire of the members of the Biology Department and of the high school teachers for a greater crossfertilization of ideas relating to their common field of teaching. Sister Faculties In co-operation with the Royal Commonwealth Society, Professor Lovekin who teaches History Methods in the Lakehead Faculty of Education has made a sister faculty arrangement with his counterpart, Professor Dilks in Leeds University, Great Britain.

Booth, President of Lakehead University has appointed Dr. J. Donald Wilson of the Department of History as the University's representative responsible for liaison with the Commission on Canadian Studies, announced earlier this year under the Chairmanship of T.H.B. Symons, former President of Trent University . .On June 28, 1972. Louis-Philippe Bonneau, President of the Association of Universities and Colleges of Canada, commented that theCommission was prompted by a growing interest in Canadian studies at Canadian Universities. "The Commission is intended to assist the discussion and to further the development of studies related to Canada by providing accurate informaDr. J.D. Wi Ison tion about the present state of teaching ~nd research in this area, and by directing attention to the possibilities of and needs for new programs in the future." As the liaison representative for the Univer!:-ity. Dr. Wilson has recently completed a Commission questionnaire which outlines data relevant to Canadian course content and its accessibi I ity to students as wel I as faculty research interests relating to Canada.

These figures are based on 1971-72 enrolment statistics. It is likely that the Commission on Canadian Studies wil.l be on campus sometime during this academic year. Members of the University community who may be interested in presenting a brief to the Convnission, or who require further information about the Commission and its objectives, are requested to contact Dr. Wilson at Extension 342. �Committee's Significance Stressed In response to last issue's article relating to fledgling attempts to organize University and community machinery towards the improvement of the lot of native Cahadian people, Dr. William S. Morris requested that the fol lowing be printed, by way of clarification: "Thank you for your kind report on the Committee on Native Peoples in the last issue of L.U. WEEK. I am most grateful. However, the statement that I "deserve credit for single-handedly bringing about this opportunity" is factually inaccurate and evaluation•ally incorrect. From the first I sought and received cooperation from the leaders of the Native organizations, especially the Thunder Bay Friendship Centre and the Ontario MMis and Non-Status Indians Union. In convening the meeting I merely did my duty assigned to me by Senate. The meeting was, in fact, called by me on request of Miss Rosemary Moffitt, and the Indian members of it invited by her. Internally, I received full support from the late Dean Ryan, Vice-President Eldon, Dean Angus, Senate and many others. Without all of this cooperation, what is , at most, an extremely modest beginning in what I hope will grow as a genuine cooperative venture would not have been possible. Senate asked you to bring to pub I ic attention that the Committee would welcome any helpful suggestions from anyone, to make it an effective organ for the accomplishment of its purposes. This invitation is again hereby extended. I am primarily concerned not with my own personal embarassment over the error, but with the sensibilities of the Indian groups and individuals who should have been given the recognition due to them for their full cooperation, interest and initiative." Free Tuition For Dependents · Effective immediately, free tuition is available to the dependents of all ful I-time staff members of Lakehead University. This change in the regulations was announced recently by the president of Lakehead University, Dr. Andrew D. Booth. In the past, free tuition was I imited to ful 1-time staff members and to the dependents of senior staff members. The new regulations also provide for free tuition to be pro-rated for those whose probationary period terminates after the registration date . Further information on the new regulations can be obtained from the Office of the Comptroller. Wheel Blocks No Jokel The University community is reminded of the Traffic and Parking Regulation which states that fines shall be paid within 5 days of the date of the violation ' (Saturdays, Sundays and official University holidays • excluded\. Distinguished Lecturer Dr. Edward Mercy, Chairman of the Geology Department recently announced Or. Neil John McMillan of the Alberta Society of Petroleum Geologists as this year's Distinguished Lecturer. He is employed with the Aquitaine Company of Canada, Ltd., Calagary, Alberta. Or. McMillan delivered a public lecture on "Labrador Sea-Baffin Bay" on Tuesday evening, October 24. In his talk, Or. McMillan explained, in geological terms, why there is a good possibility that there are vast petroleum deposits in the Canadian northeast. The area under discussion approximates one-tenth of the area of Canada's mainland. And the geologic setting makes it a potentially significant frontier area for petroleum exploration. Security Officer Fred Berube Applying Denver Boot The Department of Physical Services is in possession of "wheel blocks" which will be used to immobilize any vehicle on which there are outstanding fines. The owner/ operator assumes all risk and expense for any damage occurring on account of attempting to move a vehicle to which a "wheel block" has been attached. A wheel locking device wi 11 be removed upon payment of a 11 outstanding fines as wel I as payment of a $2.00 fee. It is hoped that fines will be paid within the specified 5 days in order to avoid inconvenience and further expense. �For Ubrary Use o.Jy W88KI~ even~s mee~ings Thursday October 26 -AMS Nite Club "Yukon", Main Cafeteria, 9 p.m. Saturday October 28 Sunday October 29 -Chamber Music Concert, Faculty of Education Auditorium, 8:30 p.m. Free Internal Usage Wednesday November 1 -Intramural Broomball begins.

The course consists of thirty audio-taped lectures which are prepared in Thunder Bay by Dr. Merri 11, then shipped to offcampus representatives in such centres as Beardmore, Jel I icoe, Dryden, Fort Frances, Kenora, Atikokan, Nipigon and Verm i 11 ion Bay. The tapes are then shared by students in the off-campus centres. Students are encouraged to hear and re-hear the taped lectures both inDr. G. Merrill dividually and in groups. So far, both Dr. Merrill and his students are happy with the approach. At least two difficulties have arisen, however. Radio Dryden, who are broadcasting Dr. Merrill's lectures, have filed a mild complaint regarding the lack of a time interval between the end of one lecture and the beginning of another. Besides suggesting that the disc jockey stay awake, Dr. Merri II proposes to add some Elizabethan music between I ectures. Another problem arose because Dr. Merri 11 tapes at home. Puzzled by a student's query "Do you have birds at the University?" Dr. Merrill listened to the tape in question and discovered that the culprit was his cuckoo clock. Personal contact between professor and students is accomplished in two ways: first, Dr. Merrill will make at least three trips to each centre throughout the academic year to meet with students and answer questions regarding the taped material; and second, a II groups wi 11 make the trip to the Lakehead University campus to take part in two weekend workshops during the year. The latter sessions wi 11 involve the use of films, slide presentations, and discussion. New Degree Program A recommendation by the Academic Planning Committee of Lakehead University was adopted in pri nc ip le by the Senate at its last meeting. It was agreed that the University will implement a degree program specifically designed for students interest- ed primarily in their own intellectual development as opposed to professional training. The proposed "general degree" program would consist of any 15 university-level courses to include a maximum of 7 first-year courses and a minimum of 2 third-year courses. The new degree would be administered through the Office of the Registrar, but course counsel I ing would be the responsibi I ity of al I academic departments. It was strongly emphasized at the Senate meeting that students enrolling in this program be advised that its pursuit would guarantee no specific preparation for a job, but that it had great possibilities for the pursuit of individual curiosity and personal development. Although the program was unanimously endorsed in principle, it was referred back to the Senate Academic Planning Committee for the proposal of a suitable name for the new degree. Convocation II The first Fall Convocation in the history of Lakehead will take place in the Agora beginning at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday, November 18, 1972. Some 220 graduands wi 11 receive their degrees and diP.lomas. The convocation address will be delivered by' John W. T. Spinks, CC, MBE, PhD, DSc, LLD, FRSC, President of the University of Saskatchewan. This Convocation will feature the installation of Dr. Andrew D. Booth as President of Lakehead University. Following Convocation ceremonies, the Ryan Building will be officially opened.

' j' '., t·-· ~' •. major variable is taken into consideration. New Appointment E. J. Belton, Chief Librarian at Lakehead University, recently announced the appointment of Samuel 0. Alexander to the position of Reference and Public Services Librarian for the University. Mr. Alexander took a degree in hi story at Delhi University in his native India. After working with Esso India for five years in marketing management and sales, he emigrated to Canada in 1967, and is now a Canadian Mr. S. 0. Alexander citizen. While studying for his Master of Library Science degree at the University of Western Ontario, Mr. Alexander taught in the School of Library Science there. Upon graduation he took a position in the cataloguing department at the University of Waterloo. Mr. Alexander commented that Lakehead University has a sma Iler I ibrary than he has grown accustomed to, but that he welcomes the opportLJnity to get involved, particularly in the pub I ic relations function of his new position. He also indicated that he was glad to see the University Library opening its doors to the public, and especially to secondary school students. "A Note of Caution" Dr. K. Paul Satinder of the Department of Psychology at Lakehead University recently recounted professional activities in which he was engaged during the past summer. Dr. Satinder took part in the Twentieth International Congress of Psychology which was held in Tokyo, Japan, from August 13 to 19. At that meeting, he delivered a paper entitled "A note of caution in conducting research involving sex differences in behavior." In that paper, Dr. Satinder suggested that "numerous contradictory findings pertaining to sex differences in relation to various aspects of behavior" may be explained by the fact that psychologists, when testing behavior as related to sex differences, have ignored the influence of the menstrual cycle on the behavi9r of females. Tests conducted by Dr. Satinder in conjunction with L. Mastronardi at Lakehead University in the past year, have proved that changes in female behavior during the menstrual cycle are significant enough to render research on differences in behavior due to sex differences unreliable unless this Over 2,500 psychologists and psychiatrists converged upon Tokyo for the congress; 1,100 from the host country, about 800 from the United States; and the remainder from other countries.. Dr. Satinder was accompanied on the trip by his wife. They enjoyed the Tokyo area very much, were extremely impressed by the Japanese penchant for organization which was apparent everywhere, but found Japan more expensive for tourists than many other places they have visited throughout the world. The couple also enjoyed Honolulu, Hawaii on the occasion of the Eightieth Convention of the American Psychological Association, September 2 to 8. Dr. Satinder took part as a discussant i.n this convention mainly in his specialty of psycho-pharmacology. He and his wife were impressed by Hawaii as a beautiful, relaxing place with a pleasant combination of western and eastern cultures very comfortable for tourists, and much less expensive than Japan. PhD Pending Assistant Professor Tabib Tadros of the School of Business Administration spent the past summer at the University of Saskatchewan where he completed course work for the Ph.D. in psychology. His areas of interest include social and industrial psychology, as well as interpersonal relations. He had already finished, during a prior period of study, his course work for a Ph.D. in Accounting at the University of 111 inois. After passing his Ph.D. prel iminaryexaminations at Illinois, he worked on a thesis on the subject of" Accounting Planning Prof. T. Tadros and Budgeting." Why Fewer Students? Editor's Note: Following are excerpts from a speech delivered by the Honourable Jack McNie, Minister of Colleges and Universities, at a dinner marking_ the opening of the new Chemistry Building at the Umversity of Waterloo on Friday, October 27. It would be appropriate tonight to ask a few questions about current enrolment trends. What is happening to university enrolment anyhow? And why? Other questions flow from there. I am as eager as you to find the answers. All the furrowed brows are not in the academic community. What exactly is the situation at present? The prelim- �inary figures across the province show that the growth in university enrolment is about 1% over last year. This compares with an increase of nearly 6% over the previous year and 11 % and 14% in the years before. At several universities this year, there has been an actual decline in enrolment particularly in general arts and science and in graduate programs. It is significant that these declining enrolment trends are not confined to Ontario. They are widespread on this continent and beyond. This year, students dropping out left the universities about 5,000 below their projections,about 75% of the total provincial undergraduate enrolment shortfall. Freshmen entering from grade 13 account for only 25%. The results of the 1971 survey of drop01,1ts by the Ministry of Colleges and Universities were enlightening. They showed that the majority of these dropouts were successful students who left for primarily non-financial reasons and obtained steady employment within a short period of time. The significance of this has not escaped university planners.Programs and structures are under close review. The Ministry of Colleges and Universities plans to repeat the 1971 study of non-registrants. It wi 11 be interesting to see how it compares with the earlier study. Conversations I have had with students suggest that uncertain employment prospects for university graduates have been a prime factor in the levelling-off of enrolment. The high school student is asking "Why should I go on to university if I can't get a job when I graduate?" The university student is wondering whether he should return to complete his degree. Can he afford the time and the expense and the foregone earnings? The M.A. or PhD. candidate may ask himself "Where am I going when I finally finish my dissertation?" These are questions that affect people's lives and they are not easy questions to answer. We obviously need more in-depth research on the job prospects for university graduates. There can be little doubt that the shortage of work opportunities for Arts and Science graduates has made some students hesitant to take on increased loans which they could have difficulty repaying. Campus Notes •Professor Robert Di I ley of the Department of Geography will entertain the Geographical Society in the Aesthetics Lounge this evening, Thursday, November 9, 1972. According to society president Ian Thompson, Professor Dilley's presentation will include a slide presentation and discussion regarding the cultural geography of Nepal. All are welcome. •Walter R.

Professor Crowe is preparing abstracts of papers and articles concerning aspects of Operations Research, Hospital Administration and Management Theory. The Institute distributes two series of abstracts internationally: "Operations Research/Management Science", and "Qua I ity Control and Applied Statistics", whose purpose is to give the content of particular articles in sufficient detail to enable the busy professional reader to decide whether the original publication merits his attention. •Lenora Aedy and Brent Scol I ie, Assistant Professors in the School of Library Technology, joined eleven other instructors from across Canada at Red River Community College, Winnipeg, on October 20-21. Tentative steps-were taken to form a national association of teachers of library technology. Discussion centered around curriculum, admission requirements, enrolment and laboratory equipment and collections. Mr. Scollie was elected to an ad-hoc committee of three to help set up the new association. Lakehead University and Loyola College (Montreal) are unique in being the only I ibrary technology programs offered in a university setting whereby students may obtain academic credits leading to an undergraduate degree. Professor Aedy, former associate editor of the Canadian Periodical Index and most recently chief librarian of Confederation College, joined the faculty in 1971. Mr. Scollie, a graduate of Queen's and Toronto, was librarian at Lakeview High School, Thunder Bay, until taking up his appointment in September. •Two members of the geography department, B. C. Heggie and I. G. Davies, were involved in the Thunder Bay Teachers' Institute professional development meeting.

A I ittle over a year ago, The Canadian Society for the Study of Higher Education was formed in Montreal. It grew out of the mutual need of people concerned with the lack of coherent information regarding current trends in college and university studies in Canada. This society is introducing a new publication entitled STOA. According to statements of editorial policy, "the journal is a scholarly publication intended to serve as a medium of communication among persons directly involved in higher education in Canada or deeply interested in this field . These include members of institutions of higher learning - faculty. students, administrators and trustees, and as wel I others in business and industry. " Anyone interested in subscribing. contributing material, or supporting STOA in any way, is asked to contact Malcolm G. Taylor.

At the first fall Convocation, some 220 graduands were awarded degrees and diplomas. The ceremony, held in the intimate academic atmosphere of the Agora, seemed to have just the right combination of pomp and informality to make it a memorable, human event. VOLUME 5 NUMBER 15 NOVEMBER 24, 1972 with change at Lakehead University and their understanding of change would likely serve them well in a world where change seems to be the most constant element. Directly upon completion of the conferring of degrees and diplomas, Convocation proceeded to the Tim Ryan Building, where the new academic structure was dedicated to the memory of the late Dean of Arts of Lakehead Universitr. Dr. Hugh H. Saunderson, President Emeritus o the University of Manitoba, and a former colleague, spoke of Tim Ryan's extraordinary committment to his career as an educator; but especially Dr. Saunderson emphasized Tim Ryan's personal qualities and his ability to turn the roughest times into happy ones. Mrs. Iris Torfason, speaking in behalf of family and friends of Tim Ryan, thanked the Board of Governors and the University at large for honouring the late Dean of Arts in this fashion ..She felt it particularly fitting that a building to be filled with groups studying in the humanities should bear the name of a man so full of faith in the goodness of man. Denis Ryan, brother of the late Dean, came all the way from Ireland to attend the ceremony. Even though his new mortarboard refused to stay put, Dr. Andrew D. Booth certainly filledtheblueand-white robes of the presidency in his inimitable style. In a brief inaugural address, he rapped the Ontario government and the mass media for contributing to public disenchantment with universities. He spoke optimistically, however, of the future of Lakehead University, considering the size of the region it must serve, and given its splendid facilities and excellent environment. In keeping with the fighting tone of his remarks Dr. Boot~ concluded by paraphrasing Shakespeare's Henry V before Agincourt: That he which hath no stomach to this fight, Let him depart; his passport shall be made, And crowns for convoy put into his purse; We would not fight in that man's company, That fears his fellowship to fight with us. The Convocation address{ delivered by Dr. John W. T. Spinks, President o the University of Saskatchewan, emphasized the importance of research for the development of a university as a whole, as well as for the development of a deep educational experience for all students at the university. Speaking directly to the graduating students, Dr. Spinks reminded them t~at their experience Dr. Booth attended to the introduction of Dr. Saunderson, Reverend John Kerr, Dean of Students, delivered the Invocation and the Benediction. And John Wright piped the procession and recession. Residence Discussions The Residence Thursday Evening Discussions will be continued next Thursday, November 30, at 9:00 p.m. in Social Centre 11 with a visit by Mr. J. Allan Hammond of Calgary. Mr. Hammond, Executive Vice-President of the Glenbow-Alberta Institute, will lead a discussion on the Institute. In 1954, Mr. Eric L. Harvie, a Calgary lawyer, and the Alberta government established the Glenbow Foundation to finance the housing of Mr. Harvie's collection of items connected with the history and culture of Western Canada. The collection has steadily grown sincethattimeand it includes many interesting items concerning the early history of this area. Thursday evening, Mr. Hammond will answer questions about the holdings of the Institute and their availability for display and research purposes.

The Board of Governors, at its meeting of Friday, November 17, welcomed Dr. George Fleming as the newly-elected Senate representative on the Board. Dr. Fleming was also unanimously appointed as the faculty representative on the Executive Committee of the Board. Imitating an extremely successful experiment initiated by Honours Bachelor of Commerce grads last year1 this year's Forestry degree grads have compiled a brochure which consists of their pictures and curriculum vitae. This brochure will be sent to all prospective employers, who will then be invited to the campus to conduct interviews later in the school year. Mr. J. Murray Fleming and Mr. R. J. Flatt, formally presented the Report of the Commission on University Governmental Organization to the Board. After considerable discussion it was agreed that Board Chairman R. J. Prettie appoint a fourman ad hoc committee to study the report and to liaise with committees of Senate and the Alma Mater Society charged with the same responsibility. L. U.

Dr. Hart believes that the Canadian nuclear power plant, CANDU, although rather expensive in terms of capital investment, is one of the most successful and safest in the world. He thinks its development hos been under-emphasized by the Canadian government, perhaps because its merits and the serious nature of the impending energy crisis have not really been understood. At the University's invitation, Mr. J. A. L. Robertson, who has prime responsibility for some of the most interesting aspects of the CANDU program, addressed faculty and students on this question on Friday, November 17.

From Monday, December 4 to Wednesday, December 6, Dr. Andrew D. Booth, president of Lakehead University, visited the northwestern Ontario communities of Kenora, Red Lake, Ear Falls and Dryden. He was full of anecdotes on his return, particularly concerning his reaction to the extreme cold. Not only did he have to replace his car battery (frozen solid), but he also had to endure a frigid night in a motel which had suffered a break-down of its heating unit. The hard-working Christmas Party Committee, consisting of Jean Helliwell, Marion Holch, Wilma Ayre, Anne Griffith, Marilyn Orr, Judy Merrill, Eula Botly, Carol Stolte, Anne Jones, Aline Bresele and Nancy MacGillvray have arranged the following program: Cocktails will be served commencing at 6:30 p.m. in the Main Cafeteria, followed by the annual smorgasbord supper served in the Residence Dining Room at 7:30 p.m. Entertainment throughout the evening will be provided by the music of Rocky Albertini. Tickets are still available at the University Switchboard or through the Geology Secretary, Jean Helliwell, Extension 461. All guests are we/come. Merry Christmas, everyone! Recent PhD Dr. Ronald G. McKechney of the School of Physical and Hetil~h'. :fducC'.ltion was recently presented with a PhD from the University of Minnesota. A Canadian citize.n; Dp.~ M<:Kech,0ey ~ompleted his underg radua,te work arSoskatchewan and Bemidji State Unive~s'ities before completing his M.A. in Physical Education at the University of Minnesota. • Dr. McKechney has a wide range of teaching experience: one year of elementary school, five years of high school in both Canada and the United States, as well as three years as an instructor at the University of Minnesota. During the past year Dr. R. G. McKechney he served as coordinator for student teaching in the Physical Education program at Minnesota. Since joining Lakehead University, Dr. McKechney has served as a coach for the University soccer team. He also coordinates track and field activities for all four years of the B.P.H.E. program in addition to teacfiing courses in the organization and administration of physical education and in athletic injuries. Dr. Booth vowed to take the Minister of Colleges and Universities on such a tour in order to convince him of some of the hardships involved in the University's extension services to northern communities. Minor inconveniences aside, Dr. Booth spoke of fruitful meetings with service clubs, off-campus university students and also high school students. The latter spoke in glowing terms of their recent visitation to the Lakehead University campus. Allin-all, the president seemed quite confident that he had both maintained and increased the good rapport which has existed between the University and the outlying region of Northwestern Ontario. Star Gazers Dr. John Griffith of the Department of Mathematical Sciences has reserved a room on the fifth floor of the Libr iry for a weekly astronomical observation night. In the Reading Room, located between Rooms 5034 and 5036, on Mondays from 7:30 to 11 :30 p.m., the general public and students are invited to make use of University telescopes from the Library balcony. Someone knowledgeable about astronomy will be present (on clear nights). I Children's Party A party for the children of University faculty, staff and friends will take place in the Main Cafeteria from 1:30 - 3:30 p.m. on Sunday, December 17. The cost to parents is 60¢ per child. Children up to 10 years of age are welcome. For further information contact Mr. J.H. Kelleher, Extension 711, or his wife at 577-1867. Rumor has it that Santa Claus will make an appearance, that is unless he oversleeps as a result of his busy department store schedule. �Ukrainian Club Notes The Lakehead University Ukrainian Club is sponsoring a lecture-discussion series on Ukrainian culture to take place some Tuesday and Friday evenings at 8:00 p.m. in Room 1022 of the Ryan Building.

The purpose of the Association is to further the capabilities of its member institutions in meeting the regional, national and international needs for high education and research through sharing and co-operative development of resources. A few arrangements have already been made regarding faculty exchange. Employment Notes Graduating students are reminded that the last date to apply for careers with the Civil Service Commission of Ontario is January 19, 1973. Any student interested in full- or parttime employment, permanent or summer, is urged to contact the Student Placement Office immediately. Language Note Julie Uhacz at Chris1mas Dinner, 1971 Committee Meets The steering committee of the Lake Superior Association of Colleges and Universities met recently in Duluth. It is the task of this committee to work out guidelines on financial arrangements within and among member institutions regarding exchanges of faculty and cultural events. This consortium of colleges and universities came into being on October 23, 1972 after better than a year of discussion among faculty, staff and presidents of the member institutions. Representing member institutions on the steering com- The committee oftheDictionnairedesJournalistes de Langue Francaise (1631-1789), has accepted an article written by Professor Alain Nabarro of the.Department of Languages, dealing with HenriJoseph Dulaurens, an eighteenth century philosopher. This biographical and bibliographical dictionary deals with French language newspapers and journals from the inception of the periodical press to the Revolution of 1789. The production of this dictionary is the responsibility ·o f a team of international specialists of eighteenth century French literature and thought, lead by Jean Sgard, Professor at the University of Grenoble and Jerome Vercruysse, Professor at the University of Bruxelles. Mr. Nabarro is presently preparing a second article on the French encyclopedist Cfiarles-Etienne Pes;elier, in collaboration with Marcel Gilot, Professor at the University of Grenoble. �CUA Meeting On Monday, December 11, representatives of Lakehead University met with the Committee on University Affairs at Queen's Park, Toronto, for the purpose of presenting the University's annual brief on current difficulties and future plans. Representing the Universit'i in its annual meeting with the Committee were Dr. A.D. Booth, President, Mr. G.H. Thompson, Comptroller, Dr. S. Magwood, Assistant Professor of Biology and member of the Senate Budget Committee, and Mr. B. Mason, Executive Assistant to the President. The University presented a strong argument for the revision of the current method of formula funding of Ontario universities, whereby the universities are only informed of their total revenue half-way through their fiscal year. In this connection, the University argued for the adoption of the "slip-year" method of funding (a system which would provide provincial grants for the current year on the basis of the previous year's enrolment) and for a change in the weighting structure of the formula which would provide more money per student in low-enrolment programs than in very large ones. Other financial matters discussed were thefutu re of emergent grants and the appropriate operating weight for students enrolled in the diploma program in Forest Technology. The University suggested that the very concept of emergence was probably no longer a valid one, in light of the apparent unlikelihood of the institutions concerned reaching economically-viable enrolments in the forseeable future. In view of this development, some other mechanism, such as the new formula suggested above which would allow higher weights for low-enrolment programs, should be adopted. Failing that, however, the University urged the Committee to recommend to the Government the adoption of an emergent grant policy which would be sensitive to actual enrolments, so that unexpected shortfalls in enrolment would not produce the immediate and drastic financial crisis experienced by a number of Ontario universities this year. The University also asked the Committee to approve an increase in the operating weight for Forest Technology diploma students. The University reported on developments during the past year in thE:. area of Continuing Education, including the extension of off-campus courses made possible by the new funding scheme worked out last year by the University and the Government. Items which appeared to interest members of the Committee included: recently restructured administrative and advisory units whose immediate task is to develop a multi-year plan of related course offerings for part-time students, the growing cooperation with Confederation College in the area of extension studies, and research on new ways to serve the people of Northwestern Ontario, including technological innovations and the introduction of short but intensive "burst" courses. The Committee showed particular interest in the University's plans to offer Arts and Science degrees in general studies and in the proposed Honours Bachelor of Science program in Medical Laboratory Science. Recognizing the desire of some students to design their own programs on the basis of personal interest, rather than following the more structured programs of the traditional major concentrations, the University Senate has recently approved the concept of general degree programs which could allow students to choose any available University course, unrestricted by formal prerequisites but with appropriate counselling. The Medical Laboratory Sciences rrogram proposal, which is the product of severe years of planning by University faculty and local medical staff, would be, if it receives approval of the CUA and the Government, a unique program in Canada. The aim of this joint University-hospital program is to enable the interested medical technologist to increase his theoretical and practical knowledge in the field of laboratory medicine, thereby fulfilling the demand for more highly qualified technologists and preparing students for further study at the graduate level. Finally, the University informed the Committee of its participation in the recently-established Lake Superior Association of Colleges and Universities. Building Boom Halted Editor's Note: In announcing to the Ontario Legislature the termination ofcapital assistance to the colleges and universities of Ontario on November 23, the Honourable Jack McNie, Minister of Colleges and Universities said: Despite the necessity for exercising constraints in post-secondary building programs at the present time, I would like to reaffirm the Government's commitments to its stated goals of providing post-secondary opportunities to all qualified students and of encouraging excellence in our college and university programs. This pause will provide the Government and the institutions with the opportunity to study current enrolment trends and to examine existing inventories of space with a view to more intensive utilization and generally to reconsidertheirplans for future development. In consultation with administrators, officials and advisory bodies, and with regard to the final Report of the Commission on Post-Secondary Education, the Government will seek to determine the bestpossibledirections of growth. �University In The '70's Editor's Note: Following are excerpts from a talk given by Dr. J. Gordon Parr, Chairman of the Committee on University Affairs, to a November meeting of Registrars of Ontario universities. At the top of the list of priorities, I have to put the universities' ability to transcend governmental (ressures, the temporal and expedient pleas o well-intentioned citizenry, the force of students and even - as necessary - the obstinacy of faculty. The universities whatever else they may not be - have to remain a clean touchstone of enquiry, a safe place of dissent. Even when funds dry uph students revolt, faculty strikes, buildings burn, t ere has to be a residuum, which contains the essence of the university. I'm afraid that this essential quality has been forgotten during the past decade of rapid enrolment growth1 of spiralling faculty appointments, of generous tunding and of the day-to-day crises associated with speedy expansion. The public may have overlooked this attribute this guarantee, vested in its universities. Possib(y, faculty need to be reminded of itfrom time totime.And perhaps those students, who would like to see a politicisation of university campuses, have to be told of the great loss that would accrue were the universities to redeem that supreme residual quality of independent question and dissent. I doubt, however, that it is a quality which - until too late - would persuade the man in the street to subscribe to a university fund-raising campaign. Hisgenerosityand generous he has been - is inspired rather by a hope of conformity than by the potential of a university's dissent in a time of oppression. Thus, the first influence, in my book, of universities upon society, is to inspire that sort of dissent which springs from enquiry, is tempered by respect for what one does not know, and is resolved by an appreciation of several sets of values. And how else may a university generate in society this sort of tolerance, than by the example of its faculty and its students? The second influence of the university upon society rests upon the sort of work done by its graduates. Here the originality and innovative qualities of the university are important. For if the graduate is a replicate casting of a professorial mould, little headway is made. Unfortunately, the teaching profession - at all levels - has an inbred ancestry that does not encourage viable mutations to the evolutionary design of the mould. And while the university has contributed integrity to the intellectual processes of its graduates, it might have done more to encourage originality. I'm afraid that the universities do nor sufficiently acknowledge the informal level of education that students gain through television, newspapers, a general reading, and through a restlessness that is associated with a quite new sort of understanding. The societal influence of the university through its graduates will be impeded if the university aces not accommodate these parameters: first, that Ph.D's must not be the only material for its faculty; second, thatthestudentsitadmitstofirst-year studies are educated in areas that lie outside the traditional university territory. (Remember the Renaissance? It was concerned with the spirit and the life of man. If the universities still have this splendid concern, they must recognize the influence of post-Renaissance media!) A third way - and in this talk, the final way - in which universities may influence society, is by their encouragement of part-time studies. There is no particular reason why a formal education has to be confined to a particular age-group. And the incidence of stop-outs, t~~ increasing enrolment of part-time students, the success of what are called "open universities" in several countries, the drive for human fulfillment in leisure hours, all point towards the need for more flexibility in programs of university studies. Of course, there are academics who insist that the nature ot a university program requires fulltime attendance on the campus for three years or for four years. While I respectthispointofview, I happen to think it is archaic. It issoarchaicthateven Plato talking with students that walked with him, would not have agreed with it. The universities have to accommodate all sorts of enrolment. And so-by the way does industry. It is time that industry - its owners and its employees - met with the universities, to define ways by which the universities might be opened up to a wider range of intellectually able students. Now to run into the last lap, what advice does one give to students. First, and most important, that it's their penny: they have been subjected by the time they consider enrolling at university to the publicity of college and university. (this is becoming a deplorable publicity, wFiich I hope the schools and their students will question).Students may not have talked easily with their parents; but they have chatted with many people. They have read; and they have bummed around. They know that your view and my view embrace the essential quality of learning, and of passing on what one knows; of question dissent, and trial. And, it may be, that in their own way, this generation of student is more discerning, more able to test a spectrum of possibilitieshthan was our generation. Don't knock them if t eir way happens to be a packsack and hitch-hiking; or going to work after grade XII; or stopping-out after second year; or trying to go it alone. The role of the university is to be there. To remain a sure defence against arbitrary measures; to be a place where question and dissent are encouraged. Tell your students that. But the universities do not guarantee a job. Tell your students that, too. The role of the universities in the 1970's is - as it has always been - to try to disseminate freely what is known, and to encourage the study of what is at the frontier. The va/ueofthe university lies - as it has always lain - in the intellect, ana the passions, of its community. �Award Announced Dr. R. A.

Kenneth Szarabura Forty-five people registered for the meeting and twenty-five papers were given (five invited, twenty contributed). While themeetingwassmall, there was plenty of time to tour the research facilities at the University of Manitoba and discuss projects of mutual interest with others in attendance. As a point of interest, the Lakehead University contingent presented the greatest number of papers, and was second in size to that of the host University. Exchange Initiated A Professor from Lakehead University will teach a three-creditcourseon "Governmentand Politics in Canada" as a development in the recent formation of Lake Superior Association of Colleges and Universities. Mr. Szarabura has not zeroed in on a specific occupational goal, but his current interests lie in the field of mineral exploration. Physics Symposium The first Western Canada Solid State Physics Symposium was held at the University of Manitoba in Winnipeg on November 24-25. It was organized under the auspices of the Canadian Association of Physicists with the objective of providing more contact among Western Canadian solid state physicists.

Library Notes eThe University Library is helping with two projects at present underway in the Thunder Bay community. The Thunder Bay Histcrical Society is seeking a Local Initiatives Program Grant to help with the recording and microfilming of the archival material in its possession. This is a useful supplement to the local material held by the University Library itself, and, once recorded, will be of great benefit to the community in general and to research workers at the University. We are therefore supporting the project and will provide whatever assistance and advice we can to enable the best use to be made _o f the help that a Local Initiatives Program Grant would produce. eThe municipality is also microfilming its own records, and the Library is cooperating in this venture by making its microfilm camera available, at a modest charge, at times when it is not required for Library purposes. eThe Library has a new display in the Catalogue Hall display cases, of works on various world religions and religious art. This will be retained until the end of December. meeeings Friday Senate Committee on ContinuingStudieswill December 15 meet in the Little Dining Room at 4:30 p.m. Friday January 5 Senate Meeting, 9:30 a.m., Senate Chamber Scuba Diving Course The Lakehead University Athletic Service Program will offer the National Association of Underwater Instructors Scuba Diving Course in the winter Service Program.

Austerity Reigns According to an article appearing in the Thunder Bay Chronicle-Journal on Wednesday, January 3, 1973, the University of Western Ontario has developed an austerity program to reduce expenses of $2 million from its $50 million budget R.A. Gonder, assitant director of operations and maintenance announced that the physical plant department developed the program to reduce heat "to the lower edge of the comfort zone", to cut back on maintenance and to lower lighting potential in classrooms and corridors. Snow removal in winter, and lawn maintenance in summer, will be reduced to the absolute minimum. Lights not necessary for study and classroom teaching will be turned off during the day, fixtures above basic needs will be disconnected, and random lightbulbs will be removed. Employment Of New PhD's Editor's Note: Following are excerpts from a release issued recently by the Canadian Association of Graduate Schools. There have been recent reports of current large scale unemployment of persons holding Ph.D. degrees, as well as forecasts suggesting future employment difficulties. These speculations are not substantiated by the actual experience of recent doctoral graduates. In 1969, the Ontario Council on Graduate Studies coif ected information about the first employment of all those who obtained Ph.D.'s in Ontario in the preceding five years. This information has been obtained each year since for each new Ph.D. and last year and this year was extended to cover all of Canm!a. In most universities, information was collected when the student handed in his thesis to the graduate school. At that time, ninety-six (96) percent of the Ph.D.\ had jobs. Of the remaining four 1;>ercent /shown as "unemployed" in the tables), some will since have obtained employment, some were not actively seeking employment, and some are no doubt unemployed. This is essentially nochangefrom lastyear. In 1970-71 there were 1446 Ph.D. graduates in Canada of whom 72 did not have jobs when the thesis was turned in; for 1971-72 the corresponding figures are 1446 and 53. It is important to ask what kind of jobs these new Ph.D.'s have taken. In summary, the pattern has shifted only slightly from the boom years of the late sixties. Most noticeable are decreases in university teaching and in industrial employment. In 1964-69, forty-eight percent had university teaching posts as their first employment; this yearthefigurewas thirty-eight percent. Industrial employment of Ph.D.'s has never been as important a factor as one might hope. In the sixties it accounted for thirteen percent of the graduates; last year this number fell to nine percent. Also stable is the fraction obtaining postdoctoral research fellowships. These postdoctoral research years are a normal part of the career pattern for those preparing for careers in university or government science. One quarter of the new Ph.D.'s are still following this route just as they did in the 60's. Series Announced "The History and Culture of the lndiansandMetis of Northwestern Ontario" is the topic of a nine week lecture series sponsored by Lakehead University Extension in co-operation with the Thunder Bay Indian Friendship Centre. Speakers are drawn from many walks of life and will be almost evenly divided between Indian and white communities. For further information please contact Mr. K.L. Morrison, Director of Extension, at 345-2121, Extension 210. Astronomical Globetrotter The five-hundredth anniversary of the birth of the celebrated scienti3t and philosopher Nicolaus Copernicus was commemorated by meetings in Washington D.C. of the American Association for the Advancement of Science December 27-29. A second commemoration will be special meetings of the International Astromonical Union in Poland in September 1973. Together wih the scientific sessions, visits will be made to Warsaw, Cracow, Torun and other locations connected with the life of Copernicus. Dr. J.S. Griffith recently received an expenses paid invitation to the Washington meeting. Unfortunately it arrived too late for satisfactory travel arrangements to be made; howeverduring the meetings in Poland, he will be reading a paper on necessary and sufficient conditions for escape, retention and capture in the n-body problem. On January 14 he will be in Houston for a three-day conference at NASA's Science Institute on Lunar Dynamical Studies. On the way back to Thunder Bay he will spend a day at the U.S. Naval Observatory. �Fellowships Continued The Honourable Jack Mc Nie, Minister of Colle_ges and Universities, announced today that the Ontario Graduate Fellowship Program will be continued for the 1973-74academicyear. Thefundingof the Program will remain at the current year's level of $3 million. The purpose of the present 0.G.F. Program is "to encourage dedicated, superior students to enrol in graduate programs in our universities and so be better able to contribute to the cultural, scientific and economic growth of Canada." The Fellowships are intended primarily for Canadian citizens who are residents of Ontario and will be awarded to both prospective and continuing graduate students. Up to l 0% of new applications at each university may be awarded landed immigrants. For fellowships tenable in the 1973-74 academic year, the deadline for submitting applications to university registrars or graduate schools is February 15, 1973. Application forms and folders giving details of the Program will be distributed early in January. Research Policy Proposals The report of the AUCC Commission on the Rationalization of University Research urges the universities to develop firm, coherent research policies singling out objectives, in the sense of broad ~reas of research where they would like to concentrate their main efforts, and elaborating programs within these broad areas. The universities should not set particular research projects within these areas and programs; the individual researcher should be free to make his own choice. The report emphasizes that the universities must set their research houses in order as a means of preserving their autonomy in the field of research and as a means of ensuring that the research activity they undertake fits reasonably well with their obligations to carry on effective undergraduate teaching and within the whole range of university purposes aside from research. The commissioners caution that no university can settle the matter of its objectives entirely on its own. There must be ongoing, inter-university consultation to coordinate the university research effort. The report emphasizes the distinction between frontier research and reflective inquiry. Frontier research is defined as exploration on the frontier of knowledge, looking for new facts, new phenomena. Reflective inquiry is essentially an intellectual activity which seeksthesignificanceoffacts and phenomena already discovered, and the relation of these to human interests or to a larger understanding of the world. The commissioners urge a division of labour along these lines in recognition of the fact that some people are good at one or the other, while only the very best are good at both. Ther believe frontier research is not always essentia to undergraduate teaching, that in fact, it is sometimes in conflict with this activity. However, reflective inquiry is vital for teaching at all levels. The commissioners believe a distinction between the two would result in an improvement in the quality of teaching, particularly at the undergraduate level. The commissioners say that teaching, and in particular undergraduate teaching, is the primary function of the university. Research could be done elsewhere but only the universities can transmit the knowledge and traditions inherited from the past. The report states tnat basic research can be done most effectively in the universities and that these institutions should devote theirprincipal research attention to this activity. However, they do not agree that applied research should betaken out of the universities; in fact there should probably be more of it." New Deputy Minister Premier William Davishasconfirmedtheappointment of Dr.J. Gordon Parr, Chairman of the Committee on University Affairs, as Deputy Minister of Colleges and Universities, to succeed Mr. H. Harold Walker, effective January l, 1973. Dr. Parr has served on the Committee on University Affairs for the past four years, becoming Chairman in January, 1971, when Dr. D. T. Wright the former Chairman, was appointed Deputy Provincial Secretary for Social Development. Formerly Dean of Applied Science and Professor of Engineering Materials atthe University of Windsor, Dr. Parr has spent twenty-four years in university teaching and research. He is author of a number of technical papers, a member of the editorial board of Science Forum, and a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada. He was an active particip-ant in the Science Council study group which produced the Macdonald Report on the Role of the Federal Government in Support of Research in Canadian Universities. Mr. H. Harold Walker, the present Deputy Minister indicated to the Government early in September his wish to retire from the Public Service of Ontario. His distinguished career in public life has extended over 38 years, beginning in 1934 with the Department of Municipal Affairs. From 1939 to 1953, Mr. Walker was on the staff of the Department of Education, interrupting hiscareerfor service in Europe with the Royal Canadian Artillery during the Second World War. In 1953, he transferred to the Treasury Departmentwherehe served with distinction in many senior positions, becoming Deputy Minister of Revenue in 1967. A Fellow of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Canada, Mr. Walker has been successively Secretary of the Treasury Board, Associate Deputy Treasurer, Deputy Minister of Revenue and from May, 1971 to the present, Deputy Minister of Colleges and Universities. �Lakehead University Athletic Department WINTER SERVICE PROGRAM 1973 The Lakehead University Winter Athletic Service Program will begin Monday, January 15, 1973.

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

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