Apathy Attacks Engineers Too

By G. Rushton

The food in the cafeteria is horrible, so they say, but who will take up a pe- tition to have improvements made in it?

T H E It is a source of amazement to editors to see the majority

of people accepting a situation that normally they claim they would not. It is even disheartening to them, because they know that there exists the medium for expression of opinion on the campus. This newspaper has not yet had to print any- thing in the nature of a criticism of any particular facet of this college. If we could say that there has been nothing

. objectionable it would be wonderful, but we can’t. All rumours point to the fact that there is a great deal

of displeasure over the quality of the food being served in the dining room. There have been charges and counter- charges to the effect that the prices are not in line with the standard of the food. Further charges have been leveled, saying that complaining does no good. Some feel that they were treated as imbeciles for complaining at all. All these rumours, and as yet no one has sent a letter to the editor.

If there is a complaint why hasn’t it been directed proper- ly to its source. If this failed why then wasn’t it directed to the public through the paper. The most powerful weapon in this age is public opinion.

Some have rumoured that it is the fault of the newspaper for not looking into the situation. This would have had little effect without the support, or even better, the demand of the students at large. In any case members of the newspaper staff wouldn’t be able to supply much information since for a variety of reasons a large percentage of them don’t eat at the Dining Hall.

As we said, it is sb amazing to hear that students will allow anything to disturb them when they know that they can do something to correct the disturbance.

If the show had had more as- sistance right at the beginning, no doubt there wouldn’t have been the headaches come final week. To get down to base rock, we should do all we can for P. & G. because it is one of the biggest money ventures in the school and it can use all students, Through being . a participant rather than a spectator a student will receive the satisfaction that a show like this can give. Actual- ly, though, those who put so much time into P. & G. don’t do it just for kicks.

Admittedly drinking can lead to grief, either in the form of the disease alcoholism or as a direct result of some one case of over- indulgence; however, it is com- mon sense that freedom to par- take in something without the threat of constant rebuke and ridicule would certainly lead to less grief. So, Waterlooans, drink without being thirsty if you want, make love all year round if you can, but don’t revert to a state of beasthood.

Well, P. & G. has come and gone for another year and if you burned out in Saturday night’s snow you may have had a vague feeling of how Napoleon’s re- treating army felt. Now before I go into a ‘hodge podge of am- biquity’ let me say that I enjoyed “Don’t Miss the Boat”. It was a fine production and anyone who had anything to do with it cer- tainly should be congratulated.

The show this year was held in Seagram Gym. This was a good idea, mainly because it put P. & G. at the college. And that is exactly where it should be. “Don’t Miss the Boat” compares favourably with shows put on by other colleges and when we con- sider how large our school is, we can well say that P. & G. was high calibre. They tell that this year P. & G. was “something new”, something “created” by students at Waterloo, and that should be

Over the past weeks much has been said in your paper about the cast of the Purple and Gold Review “Don’t Miss the Boat’,. ’ We thank you for your considera- tion. But, let us stop for a mo- ment, just where would we, the cast, be without those who work- ed literally endless hours behind the stag+ In this lies the pur- pose of the letter.

Despite the bad weather, there vas a good turnout of members tnd guests to the second meeting If Deutscher Verein on Wednes- lay night, November 26, 1958.

Professor Nabert, the guest ;peaker, reviewed his year’s aca- iemic experiences as an exchange lrofessor at the University of Marsburg. While Mr. Nabert spoke, he showed slides of the academic and naval life of the community. The color slides dis- closed many works of architec- ture as well as many beautiful scenes of the country. Before the meeting adjourned to the L]adies’ Lounge for lunch, Professor Na- bert answered numerous ques- tions concerning his work and experiences in Germany.

The Philharmonic Society wil; sponsor the Waterloo College Glee Club in a choral recital of Adveni and Christmas music in St. Mat- thew’s Church, Kitchener.

Miss Janzen emphasized the iact that it was the duty, not only 3f Christians, but of all citizens to use the franchise to elect the person best suited to represent the Zommunity in parliament. She slso stated that in politics many temptations are presented to the individual and the only way to avoid these was through prayer. Intolerance of other beliefs, whether’ they are religious or political, was looked upon with scorn by Miss Janzen. Rather, she stated, we should be more broadminded and try to see the other person’s point of view.

“Don’t Miss the Boat’ 1958.

We would like to take our hats off to John Enns, the Business Producer, who, among other things, arranged for the seating, and to Bob Sherwood, our stage manager and his crew, a special handshake and a box of Aspirins for the headaches they received making sure that everything was just right on stage. Special thanks should go to two gentlemen who worked unceasingly behind the scenes, John Garrow and Bill Tremaine. Without John and Bill we would have been at a loss. We can’t thank them enough for the work they did on the planning of the stage’, the lighting and the sets.

Ian Fraser must be applauded for taking the time from his busy post as Student Council President to work on arrangements and orchestration. Thanks, Ian, for giving so freely of.your talent.

Finally and above all, everyone at Waterloo should bow to the Freshman and the Post-Grad stu-

‘dent who created “Don’t Miss; the the Boat”. Bob Scott not only di- rected the show but also contri- buted the musical score. John Erb, the theatrical producer, gave us the vitality that was necessary tu

Waterloo Curling The Curling League commenced.

last week with :a fair turnout. Five games were played and one game was won by default. The , winning teams are as follows:

Team # 2 Gary Hancock 12 Brian Ruby

6 Murray Skinkle 4 Dick Frise 8 Bill Simmons

13 Dean Hilts (default) The Committee feels that the

turnout for Curling has only been fair. We regret that one day’s schedule had to be called off but aside from this curling has been provided for those interested! We are lucky to get curling time and the fact that it is provided free of charge, except for special events, should make it very at- tractive. I would like to urge all of the students who signed for Curling to turn out regularly. Because of curlers not showing up, the teams have had to be re- arranged with those who turn out regularly replacing ones who haven’t. Check with your skip if you cannot turn out regularly. It is not fair to your team if you are absent and the game has to be defaulted.

Curling requires FULL and ACTIVE participation.

A skip’s meeting was also held last week and a Curling Executive was elected:

Chairman-Gary Hancock. Vice-Chairman-David Howe.

Thus when Kelowna loses two games we begin to wonder again. Will the Russians or Swedes in the winter Olympics be able to defeat the Belleville MacFarlands, Canada’s representative. If such a situation should arise, there would be a great hue and cry again. Canada’s National Sport would have another black eye.

Canada is recognized as the hockey centre of one world. And indeed, this is true, for approxi- mately 99.9% of the hockey play- ers who have performed in the N.H.L. were born! in Canada. From the time he is able to hold a stick in his hands, the Canadian youngster begins to play hockey.

Thus we are proud of our hoc- key prowess. In a sports world which usually leaves us out in other categories, we come out on top. It helps to give us some sort of nationalism, an all-important component in our comparatively young country, which hasn’t as yet matured to the point of hav- ing her own flag.

Thus when the Kelowna Pack- ers went to play in Sweden and Russia, and only, in my estima- tion, made a mediocre showing, I think we should think earnestly of what the future holds, hockey- wise, for Canada as a country.

Several years ago these ideas were not even raised. At that time Canada was supreme in the hockey world. But then a second- rate team from Toronto was de- feated in the Olympics and sports personalities began to wonder. Russia was developing fast and something had to be done.

And so they decided to send over Senior “A” hockey teams. And this met with a fair amount of success. Championships were won by the Penticton “V’s” and Whitby Dunlops. But even with Senior “A” players, the Kitch- ener-Waterloo Dutchmen lost to the Russians.

There is only one solution as I see it. If we are going to send a hockey team to represent Can- ada, then we should send the best team or we should send none at all. Let us face the best of the Russians and Swedes with the best in Canada. Then we would have a true representative.

Thus, I would advocate sending the world champions of the N.H.L. over to play against Euro- pean teams next year. As far as amateur status goes, it seems to me that anyone being paid up- wards to $100.00 a week in Senior “A”. hockey does not fall into this category. There is only a difference in meaning in the words amateur and professional in Canadian hockey -not in reality. Therefore, if we are go- ing to send professional anyway, let’s send the best.

VIC DURISH Vic Durish, a veteran of two

years, does not often bring the crowd to their feet but he is a dependable player who can be counted on to dig out the puck and score those clutch goals which win games. Vic learned his hoc- key in his home-town of St. Catharines, where he played for both the midget and juvenile teams. At 5’ 10” and 1558 pounds, he does not play a rough tough brand of hockey but is more of a fast and elusive type of player who leaves opposing def ensemen flat-footed.

NORM MacLEAN Norm MacLean is a six foot 175

pound veteran from Marathon, Ontario, who played all his minor hockey for Upper Canada College in Toronto. On the ice Norm is indistinguishable from the other players until he is in possession of the puck then he transforms into a flash of action and speed. He is not a player who stands out as an individual but is the type who is essential for the suc- cess of any team. Last year, Norm proved an asset by finishing as one of the higher scorers on the squad. -

No one likes to lose when there is no need to do so. The Russians are improving all the time. And I for one would not like to see them come out on top in our National Sport. There is too much nationalism wrapped up in hoc- key, to let it become run-down. Now is the time to act, not after the damage has been done.

“ALLEN SCOPE”

Last ’ Thursday the Mules’ hoc- key team took to the ice at the Waterloo Arena’ and promptly skated off with a 7-4 victory over the visiting McMaster Marlins. It was the first exhibition game of the season for Waterloo and they gave signs for a successful season ahead.

The Mules had to come from behind to gain their first win but three unanswered tallies in the middle frame supplied the win- ning margin. Paul Knox, the starry Mules forward, put his team ahead at 2:17 of the first period, but three McMaster goals by Brown, Wilson and Melinoff with a .goal sandwiched in be- tween by Jack Taylor, gave Mat a 3-2 lead.

Then came the big second period. Mike Gendron picked up his first of two goals, followed by counters from Pierce and Witty and the game was sewn up. Gen- dron and Knox finished the scor- ing for Waterloo in the third and Brown tallied his second of the evening to make the final read- ing 7-4.

with ease. Outstanding in this department was little Gen Ham- ada who was all over the ice.

The defence was weak although Weiler and Brown played well. The best%lines were that of Knox, Taylor and Files, and the trio of Gendron, Witty and McL#ean. Coach Rafferty played both of his goalies with McKee playing a standout second half. All in all it was a good exhibition and we hope a symbol of things to come.

Hank and Harriet -both have the same expressive nature. They are ‘fbasically friendly, warm- nearted and affectionate indi- viduals; Since they both _ are Eriendly and emotionally expres- sive, they wili be able to under- stand and get along fairly well with each other. Harriet it ap- pears, is a little more independent than ‘Hank, but isn’t domineering by any means. Hank has a lot .of, pride and /would, rather conf arm’

to the majority than be an indi- vidualist. However, I wouldima- gine that they prevent each other from being extreme in either direction,. she trying to curb his pride, and he putting the damper on her independence’.

After a time, we go down to thf basement. This too is dim15 lighted. The walls are of rougl stone, and there are rough St,& arcs that extend pillars to tht floor. It reminds us cf what 2 castle must look like. This is only logical, for this is the castle where Jazz rules. \ ’

A six piece group with a bril, liant,, tireless drummer holds the floor here. Crazy finger-tap@{ sounds. The, people here are more numerous, and the table tops wil soon be worn thin from so mucl tapping.

,

self to be. Now,’ both .of them can help each ‘other here. Hank can check Harriet’s tendency to be a , dreamer and Harriet can en- courage Hank to have a more far- reaching goal. ~ ,

It ’ gives me great pleasure to . ‘L- say*,that in this cas,e, Hank is the’ most talkative of the two. Both of them are rather I quiet indi- : I viduals, but put Hank and Harriet in. a friendly crowd, and Hank will do more talking than will ’ Harriet. .

Both of them enjoy being physically active (not necessarily active in sports) and Harriet shows a great deal of. rhythm .and gracefulness. ’ Anybody care fok a dance?.

Another 0 thing in Harriet’s favour is that she is very creative:! She could be an excellent seams- tress, etc. .Take note, -Hank. She’ll probably be economical in that ’ sense.

I Poor Harriet has too many

irons in the fire. She has numer- ous interests and activities’ but they tend to confuse her. Hank, being a more organized indi- vidual, doesn’t let his interests conflict. However, don’t pat your- self on the back Hank for you are probably ’ the reason for Harriet’s confusion.

’ I’ll conclude this little com- parison by stating that Hank and Harriet seem to be a compatible ’ couple, and you’ll probably tigree ‘ with me ‘now, /that by ,the stroke of your pen ,. ’ ‘. I can compare : you and your “sweetie” for corn- 3 patibility. ,
