CAN,DAL IN ‘ORQUEROOM 2 scandal of vast proportion has en detected in our Torque om. It seems that certain in- riduals are receiving milk from 2 “modern cow” without ap- oaching its masters with an er of payment. If some people ;ist on being dishonest, the rque Room staff will have to sort to drastic measures. Sup- se we cooperate with them and us. avoid any unpleasant occur- rices. Now that we are on the bject of co-operation, it might

worth mentioning that some the students’ attitudes to the

iff leave something to be de- bed. A little more effort should

put forth in the areas of: a) taking trays, cups and sauc-

ers, plates etc. back to be washed.

The Christmas season and the end of another year is again upon us. In view of the fact that this issue of the paper is the last of the first semester, it might be fitting that the editorial extend a few words of appreciation and congratula- tions to those on campus who have worked hard to make it an enjoyable semester.

At the outset it is incumbent upo.n the editor toi give a hearty vote {of appreciation to this quarter of Engineering students. They have worked hard, side by side with the Arts students, to produce some extremely successful student ac- tivities. Their co-operation with the Cord has served to add colour and variety to this publication. We wish them good fortune in their forthcoming exams and an enjoyable work quarter.

P. and G. is over now. Congratulations are certainly in order for all concerned. Everyone who’ participated had a cood time and found it a rewarding experience. Those who ion? participatle in school events, such as the P: and G., are certainly missing the boat.

Poor Sinbad Brittle is sure taking a beating. I feel it’s L good thing that someone is able to stir up a response from #he student body. Perhap#s we need a few more characters ike him.

All but nine girls out of 106 voted in the Preliminary 2ampus Queen Contest. This is the kind of response that nakes one feel that the efforts involved were worth it. I lope that the vote for the main contest has had as high an iverage.

Why do most of the fellows wait until the last minute ;o ask for dates - especially for the Christmas Formal?

Why is the Torque Room always so crowded during chapel hour ? (I can hardly ever get a seat.)

For those of you who haven’t asked as yet, no, I don’t late the world.

You may be interested in knowing that many of the ideas expressed in this column are suggested to me by o)thers. And .n this respect, may I say that I am always willing to receive your ideas - and CONSTRUCTIVE criticism.

Since this is the last publication before Christmas, 1 would like to wish you all a very good holiday season.

b) patience when the staff is pressed in the rush hours.

c) a word of appreciation now and then to the staff for their good services.

To alla those who are members of other clubs and various groups which have served in bringing the student body to a desirable point of unity: a genuine note of gratitude.

We now stand on the threshold of another year and also one more academic semester. The experiences and lessons of yesterday should serve as preparation today for progress toward a better to.morrow, in all fields of endeavour.

The staff and members of the Board of Publications wish the students on both campuses a happy Christmas season and the best of the New Year. An Observer.

PHI DELTA PI By Betty Lyn Boyle

In case the boys h$appen to )eek at this column (and I have ‘eason to suspect that they do); ! will explain why the Phi D’elta ?i took over the preliminary vot- ng for the Campus Queen. This explanation has previously ap- seared in Dale Perrin’s column lowever, judging by the questions asked it seems that no’ one was at school the day that that issue of ;he paper appeared.

At any rate, we decided that the ooys did not have a clue as to whom they were voting for when ;hey voted for Campus Queen. I?he contestants should receive a :ertain amount of publicity in order that the males on campus gt least see what they look like. [t would be very expensive to do ;his for all the eligible girls. Thus ;he Phi Delta Pi voted f,or ten girls from our midst onI the basis 3f personality, appearance and participation in student activities. should anyone oppose this method If selecting candidates he or she

should inform the Phi Delta Pi. Should enough opposition be heard the method will not be used in another year.

CUES FROM CONRAD Geraldine Duquette

Various committees, which at the last count included every resi- dent of the girls’ dorm, are now efficiently making plans for Dec- ember 12, when the girls will entertain their dates with a buffet, supper in the best Christmas tra- dition. This will be followed by dancing in the recreation room, This is to be quite a formal affair animated by the festive Christmas spirit, and all are looking for,ward to an enjoyable evening unprece- dented in the memoirs of Conrad Hall.

Letter to the Freshman Class Two weeks ago your class

executive held a meeting for the sole purpose of determining how the freshman class could be hand- led better. We felt,- due to the apparent lack of attendance at the last two class meetings, that some- thing had to be done to improve the attendance. These small show- ings we feel are due to three reasons: I) The time of the meet- ings may not be convenient for the majority of freshmen, 2) the lack of publicity, 3) the lack of general interest in the activities of the class. All of these reasuns can be corrected and we feel that the method your executive de- cided upon will be a suitable one. The idea is this! There are ap- proximately 3010 freshmen on campus. These 300 are to be broken dow.n into thirty groups of ten, each group having one representative to form a fresh- men student council to be headed by the executive. This council would act upon the activities and business of the class sugg’ested to the representatives by their re- spective groups. In other words the suggestions and wishes would be channeled into thirty people. This method would eliminate the question of attendance at meet- ings, and at the same time would have every freshman aware of the activities of the class and assured of equal representation. This is not to say that no one else but the representatives are to be at the meeting. If you can’t attend the meeting please inform your representative, and he will for- ward the idea to the council.

At the meeting of the executive, we carefully selected a list of thirty people whom we believe to be suitable representatives for the class. We would suggest that you consult the bulletin board as to which group you belong.

This is something which should have been introduced at the be- ginning of the term, but we feel that it is not too late for the idea to become effective. In years to come the class will grow even larger and this might well start a precedent for the future freshmen classes.

The ‘executive sincerely hopez that this idea meets with the

The Freshmen Executive Dear Sir:

The letters condemning Sinbad Brittle were nearly as funny as Nearly News, and although Sin- bad might have been a little severe, his critics seem to have some funny ideas.

Mr. Targosz suggested that the Cord Weekly push a little harder for fan support; the only way to muster fan support is to produce a winning football team. Then, and only then, will students get some pleasure out of attending games at Seagram Stadium. It is not the responsibility of the stu- dent body to produce this team, it is the responsibility of the Athletic Department. Let us all hope that they have started with their plans for next year’s cham- pions. Bob S.

Dear Sir: It has recently been brought tc

my attention that quite ;i, lot of SCOTCH TAPE is1 bein’g used for attaching various notices. and signs on the walls, particularly in the Arts Building, around the stairwells, in the basement cor- ridor, and in the Torque Room. Also some dormitory rooms, and even some offices are using SCOTCH TAPE for this purpose,

It has been our policy of recent years ‘to completely ban the use r>f SCOTCH TAPE on any and all walls and painted surfaces, be- cause when later removed, it in- variably leaves permanent marks which only paint will properly cover.

Instead, please use MASlKING TAPE only for this purpose, as this product does not harm any painted surface.

The use of SCOTCH tape seri- ously tiects the maintenance 0: our buildings, and it will bc greatly appreciated if all students faculty, and staff will co-operatt with us in the observance of thi! rule, so that our maintenance problems in this regard will bt eliminated.

Thank you,

P CAST TURNS II’ EXCELLENT PER

As the curtain rose on Saturday evening (and the “Canoe” was tipped for the last time), Producer John Enns and his Co-Producer- Director-Script-Writer - Assistant Stagehand John ? (Ed. note: last name not available at time of printing) must have felt that even without the parties that followed each performance, the show had been a tremendous success. Off to a somewhat “tipsy” start on Wed- nesd(ay, things finally “tipped” and by week’s end the cast was play- ing to standing room only. One of the outstanding features of the show - and here, I know, I tread on thin ice because there were a number of excellent aspects - was the first-rate casting of, and performance by the four “leads” -namely Morley Rosenberg, Lau- ra Neff, Al Emerson, and Tony Dodson -who paddled their way from the show’s opening night to the show’s opening night with an amazingly professional touch. Theme-wise, the show had a somewhat familiar ring. The would-be participants “naturally” had low grades, (after all, how else does the producer know you have talent?) ; the faculty “na- turally” did not completely favour the show, (after all, how else do you impress the Administration that you’re an intellectual and deserve to keep your job?) ; and the Engineers “naturally” com- posed the back-stage crew, (after all, if they had any talent they’d be in Arts!). However, in spite of the Faculty, the Engineers, the all-round squares, the Dean, ex- cluded - I wonder where he went to College? - and the super- abundance of talent, the show finally gets on the Road and is a built-in smash hit on opening night.

Well, so much for the show within the’show; back to the show itself. No revue of the 18591 P. & G. would be complete withoul specific reference to a number of unquestionable highlights. For

example, who will ever forget that outstanding Friday night contribution to the morals of the show made by Doug Forster of the Boys’ Ballet when he once again proved that men are men and women are women? Or the “palsied” performance, (our thanks to J.S. and Eng. 20 for that delightful excerpt from English Literature) of Gordon Griggs and Gary Morton. 3 OT, for the sake of Sanity, the violin and piano interludes provided by Fritz Wid- maier and Bill Bernhardt? Or, for the sake of Insanity, the fabu- lous “Beatnik” scene wriggled through by Johnny “Staccato” Proudfoot? Memorable, too, were the symphonic arrangements of the University Jazz (Band? ) , and, vocally, the rousing lyrics of “Things that are done by a Dean” (you should have seen the lines that were scrapped! > , and ‘,‘Wat- erloo” which, strikingly, to parody the words of Jackie Gleason “Didn’t get its!” but was very well sung to Al Jolson’s arrange- ment of Swannee River. Then, of course, with his penetrating ana- lysis of world news, was Mr. Kool himself, Iceland’s ambassador to the Ontario Veterinary College, the Honorable Michael (Your horse has got diabetes!) White- head. And we could go on to mention such other features as the Square Dance, and the lift given to the whole show by the Kick line!

One final word. The manage- ment of the Cord would greatly appreciate advice as to the iden- tity of the Co-Producer-Director- etc. The profile, somewhat thinned by these last weeks of stress and strain, is familiar and should be identified for future purposes. Rumour has it that he worked his veritable fingers) to the bone; the Dean, if none other, would like to meet this rarity! P. & G., 1959? A hit!! If you have any doubts, Bruce Clarke will glady cry all the way to the bank with you.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR. Dear Sir,

“He knew it was a tel’evision antenna because he studied Eng- lish at Columbia.” I don’t think this is very funny.

Charles Van Doren.

Mr. Editor: I No matter how good a script or

act we can have for our Purple and Gold show, we must have a stage and audience and for these two necessities I would at this time like to say thanks. First of all to the many people who “sold” P & G, and secondly to the P & G advertising staff, especially Don McLaughlin and Hans Heldring. Blut a great hand should also go to many boys from the Engineer-

\ ing School who set up the stage, curtains and lighting. At this point I might mention the names of several of the people I know who came out not only to set up the stage but were also there to take it down: John Garrow, Ron Walker and John Bratten; they took complete care of the lighting. Mike Shore and Wally Panagapka

who were stage and property managers respectively. Honour- able mention is also due to Glen Hawley who with his staff, Vic Britnell, Gord Ramer, Jim Lone, John Clement, Hank Krzywicki, Roger Miller, Bob Shellenberg, Nick Hathaway, John Boehm, and Schultz-Nielsen, who set up the stage, took it down again and stored it carefully, with thought of new year’s show in the hand- ling of materials. Set construction was also ably carried out under the auspices of Lawrence Lavally and Jim Bromley with parental guidance of the perennial Bill Tremaine. Helping them were Helen Young and Bill Fines.

As the story “Don’t Tip the Canoe” illustrated, the engineers make up the other $4 of the whole, which we too often neglect. All in all the show was a success both for those .participating and those watching. Again I would like tc say “Thank You” for I the tre- mendous co-operation.

Too bad about Glenn Hawley being stuck under the stage for an entire week, but these engin- eers put there whole selves into doing a job. During the run of the show a number of Mike Shore’s stage hands broke all speeding records between the stage door and the back door of the Kent, 3’7 seconds. Jlohn Garrow, John Brat- ton and Ron Walker, the three of them, did a beautiful job on the lights, but I would have appreci- ated the effects more if one of them would have remembered to

Many things have been said this past week, many more are yet to be said, but from a completely biased view I felt that after Wed- nesday night’s fiasco, there was a show on stage. Tony and Morley, you managed to impersonate two producers with intimlate knowl- edge, you were possibly watching me during rehearsals. Alan, I never thought that we would make it, but after you learned your lines you were great. Laura, I have to say that there is not another girl on campus who could have portrayed two such different characters, without getting one of them mixed up with the other. (I was waiting for you to arrive with the wig in the opening scene, what a mess that would have been! >

During the progression of the party I tried to thank each of you personally, but I am sure that I missed looking under some of the tables. If you were one who was missed, thank you. If I did thank you, well thanks again.

I have enj’oyed working with each and everyone of you, but above all I have had a great deal of pleasure meeting and getting to know you. The Purple and Gold Show is possibly the best

way for each of us to meet our contemporaries, without it many of us would be wandering around the campus not knowing a soul. (Dlon and Hans have just come in, fhey’ve been out collecting all of the old posters, we can use the other side next year.) I know that the frienlds you have made this week, will be friends you will have for life, (tough). Arts- men and Engineers are really rather decent types aren’t they? Engineers we aren’t as bad as the rumours have made us, are we?

I would like to welcome each one of you into the most in- exclusive fraternity on campus, the X.P.&G. Fraternity. Thank you for a wonderful show and for bringing to life in November that which was a dream in September. Good luck in the future, and when they ask about next year’s! show tell them that the seminary stu- dents are writing a tragedy, “Twilight in the Torque Room.”

Yours most sincerely, UNCLE JOHN

letters To The Editor . ‘i To the producers, their ,assis-

tants, the cast and crew of the Purple and Gold Sbow of 11959:

I would like to take this op- portunity to thank and congratu- late, on behalf of the Student Body at Waterloo University Col- lege, all those persons who partic- ipated in any way in the Purple and Gold Show.

It was difficult for us who sat in the audience to realize just how much energy and talent went into the making of the show. It was easy, however, to appreciate the finished product.

Now we have something to re- member fondly as well as some- thing to anticipate. By this I mean that maybe some of us who missed being in the show will embrace the opportunity to partic- ipate next year in the excitement, work and comradeship that is “P & G.”

I wish it was possible to relate personally to each of you the many complimentary remarks I heard about the show. This let- ter, however, assures me of not overlooking anyone no matter how large or small his part.

The final curtain call has been taken, the stage is in darkness and stripped of all its “props.”

All of you may be rightfully proud and happy about your accomplish- ment; to the rest of us comes the lingering satisfaction and pride in seeing another show well done by our classmates and friends. congratulati’ons!

Pablo Machetzki, Pres. Students’ Legislative Executive, Waterloo University ollege

DEAR SIR, This year’s P & G Show was a

pleasant surprise to the great majority of those who attended. Without disparaging the ef?orts of

those who worked diligently on the two preceding shows (the only others that I hav’e seen), it can, I think, be stated that this year’s perf,ormance was a long step forward. The action was compact and unified, which was an improvement on last year’s rambling structure; there were more good numbers; and romance -an extremely difficult thing for all but professionals to carry off -was minimized. Further, the wholesale theft of sure-fire tunes from popular musicals justified itself in the performance: original music is fine, but good original music is too much to expect from a small student body. This year’s larceny allowed more time for the writing of lyrics which were on the whole very good.

Every year veteran students yearn for the good old days and deplore the loss of the school spirit of their first year. This golden-ageing has two causes first, it is inherent in human nature to weep for the snows oi yesteryear; second, the first fine careless rapture of the freshman year is never quite recaptured To the objective eye, however, ii is obvious that the college spiril is better than ever this year, and one suspects that this has partly to do with the natural tensionr involved in growing pains. Thid year’s P & G show revealed z happy manifestation of the fresh. ness of spirit that can accompany growing pains.

It would take too long to single out for praise the many deserving individuals in the cast and back. stage; everyone did well; but 1 would like personally to record my thanks to Gordon Griggs ani Dlon Archer for-forgive the pur -the heartiest ballet-laugh I havt had in a long time.

CAN ROCKEFELLER BE PRESIDENT By RON BERENBAUM

In November of next year, the leople of the United States of Lmerica will go to the polls to hoose a new President. Although nly Americans will be allowed o vote, the man-they choose will xert a powerful influence on the ffairs of every other nation in he world, including our own. The ext president, like this one, will nherit vast powers within his Iwn country as well as the au- hority to plunge every nation in he world on this earth into a atastrophic war.

It is no wonder, then, that we hould be interested in who this nan is going to be. The emo- ional, intellectual, spiritual and bersuasive qualities that he pos- esses will determine to a large !xtent the future course of demo- racy as we know it, to say no- hing of the survival of mankind tself.

It has been said that, “Fools sush in where wise men fear to read,” and only ,a fool would try o predict the outcome of an American presidential election ne year ahead of time. However, n examining the list of potential Landidates, it seems that one man, ?elson A. Rockefeller of New lark, has a psychological advan- age which is destined to propel iim into the president’s chair. me audacity of this statement vi11 be more fully appreciated by hose who have read the reports )f professional politicians and )olitical analysts who give Mr. Rockefeller no chance of even tapturing his party’s nomination. rhis honour, they maintain, will almost certainly be conferred up- In the current vice-president, Richard Nixon. Mr. Nixon, besides leing the leading candidate, is by Jirtue of his office, “one heart- Ieat” from becoming president. k’s a result, many Rockefeller ad- nirers are reluctant to support lim openly since they are bound ;o be discriminated against if %xon ascends to the presidency 3y the death of President Eisen- lower. The gallup polls are not encouraging to Mr. Rockefeller ;ince they indicate that he trails %xon by a ratio of four to one.

However, history is full of sur- )rises and great leaders have been rnown to overcome the most for- nidable of obstacles to achieve positions of leadership.

“But is Rockefeller a great na- ional leader ?” you ask. I answer: ‘No, not yet.” He has demon- strated that he possesses every quality necessary to make him a great leader.

His unselfishness and sense oJ duty is indicated by the fact thal he has rejected the life of E wealthy playboy for the rigour: of public life. In the course of hi5 service under three presidents hc has distinguished himself as ar sble administrator, a conscien tious humanitarian and a com- petent politician.

However, there is another fat tor establishing the importan “psychological advantage” whicl I mentioned earlier. This facto has to do with the name Rocke feller and the symbolism it pre sents to the mind of the America1 voter.

1

There appears on the America1 scene from time to time a mar who, because of his personality 0: circumstances surrounding him symbolizes an idea, ideal or hopc with which he is easily associates by large blocks of voters. Such ; symbolic association was presen to some extent in the election o Herbert Hoover as president. B: 1928, America had found new god in the form of science and tech nology. These gods had create the wonder of the airplane, thl radio, the movies and the auto mobile.

I am sure that many people lust have believed that by elect- lg, as president, a practitioner of ne sciences, that is, an engineer, ney would ensure unlimited ma- trial progress; hence, parIt of the sychology that lay behind the lection of Herbert Hoover to the irhite House, and the belief that is, tenure of office would usher 1 a new “Golden Age” of pros- erity.

But, the “Golden Age” turned ut to be one’ elf rough glass, and ; shattered with the impact of he first shock of depression. The reat American industrial giant Jhich had been so powerful and ctive in 1928 now lay. crippled nd dazed, searching for a leader [ho could pull the country up by ts bootstraps, out of the mire of elplessness into which it had allen.

The new leader was not long n coming for Franklin Delano loosevelt was swept into the Vhite House in the 1932 election. rice again a huge segment of imerican voters had made the ame subconscious, or possible onscious, association and Roose- relt had become a symbol of imerica himself. Roosevelt him- elf was an active, ambitious and lynamic force until struck down )y polio; just as America was lynamic until struck down by the 110~ of depression. Roosevelt, towever, by a supreme personal :ffort had managed to fight his vay back to health to re-enter jublic life. He topped his success )y capturing the governorship of he State of New York. The mass ,f voters were inspired by the nan who overcame his crippling nisfortune to resume an active md productive life. There is little doubt that they believed he could lo for the nation what he had lone for himself. Such powerful symbolism tends to capture the magination of large masses oi Toters and cannot be under- estimated as a potent political weapon.

Harry Truman was the next American president but the sym- colic associations which surround- ?d him were not as powerful ah hose which surrounded Roose- relt. Truman ascend:ed to the Iresidency through the, death 01 Roosevelt and went on to win tn upset victory over Thomas Dewey in 1948. It could be argued ,hat Truman represented the ‘little man” in his fight again& ;he powerful, polished and wealthy “Big Business Boys” oj Wall Street.

Truman was in office when the election took place. It is not after ;hat Americans will throw out ar .ncumbent president. It would bt m admission, on their part, fol hem to say that their last choice was a mistake. Few countries like ;o ‘proclaim nationally that the3 nake mistakes.

In 1952; with the election o’ Dwight Eisenhower as president, America again demonstrated a preference for a symbolic image over a seemingly rational and in- telligent leader. Adlai Stevenson in that year, campaigned bril- liantly. He explained and dis- cussed important issues with understanding and intelligence, But. he was no match for the “Eisenhower image”.

Eisenhower was more than an army general turned presidential 1 candidate. He was America itself . America’s problems were Ike+ 3 problems. Like many Americar 1 boys, Eisenhower returned tri- .

umphant from the war in Europe 3 and laid plans to return to a life ? untroubled by military affairs . Also like many American son: j and husbands, he wa,s being forced to return to the service oj i his’ country in the interests OJ f

lational security. If this was not the situation

vhich existed in reality, it is the ituation as it appeared to mil- ions of Americans.

The imagery was made even nore effective by the techniques If the Madison Avenue adver- ising agencies who were playing heir first influential role in herican politics. Eisenhower vas successfully portrayed as America incarnate. His disap- Iointments, hopes and ideals were hose of America. To millions of jeople this image of the “Father )f the Family” was too strong to ‘esist.

Let us turn again to the list of urrent American presidential lopefuls. Can there be any doubt, considering previous patterns, #hat the name “Rockefeller” stands far above the names of Vixen, Stevenson, Kennedy, Sy- nington and Johnson as a symbol If 411 that America is proud.

Fifty years ago, the names ‘America” and “Rockefeller” eli- :ited other mental images. The ;h,ought of powerful, ruthless and lynamic giants mercilessly ex- ?loiting the working people but luilding in the process1 a power- iul industrial nation.

Today that nation has been Built and its workers share generously in the wealth it pro- lutes. The former giants sym- oolized by names like Rockefeller, who dominated and exploited, are now liberal and humanitarian. They combine to contribute to education, public welfare and the nighest standard of living of any working people in the world.

Nelson Rockefeller, as perpe- trator of the Rockefeller name, stands as a symbol of modern humanitarianism behind which liberals in America and liberals in all the democracies can rally. Ihe man has demonstrated him- self as being capable of perform- ing great and significant deeds. When such a man as this appears on the scene, history has a way of pushing him into the top position of leadership; sometimes against his own personal wishes.

Last week, phase two of our university pro’gram was put into motion. We were interviewed by companies looking for cheap labour, lab technicians, draftsmen, assembly-line work- ers, engineering assistants, and the ra*re boy genius. In turn, we stammered and stuttered, bragged and boasted, smiled and snickered, offered chairs, lit cigarettles, and shook hands, as was required. The following week, we were informed of the companies’ choices, and we in turn made our choice of the many companies vying for our, talent.

We will shortly begin our term of employment with’our chosen company. We will begin an adventure perhaps even greater than the initial adventure of entering the university. The co-operative plan is being pioneered in Canada by our university, thus making us pioneers, too. The success or failure of this plan depends entirely upon us. Our prolgress through university is being watched by the companies which are interested in us, and by those companies which are un- certain regarding their opinion of the plan. We must not dis- appoint those who have faith in us and our university.

Our knowledge, when we complete our formal training here, will be a unique and useful combination of advanced theory, and a priceless store of practical information gained through our work experiences. Upon graduatio,n, our superior knowledge will be put to good use by the interested industries, and the quality of our work will determine the future status \ of our university.

In a few short years, graduates of this university could very likely be preferred over graduates of any o,ther uni- versity on this continent. The responsibility of bringing this dream to reality, lies with us, the charter members of the University of Waterloo. When we go out into industry during our next work period, and in every succeeding work period, we must impress upon the entire industrial world in contact with US, that the engineers from the University of Waterloo, are the best engineers anywhere!

More letters To The Editor Dear Sir,

In his recent letter to the Cord Weekly on Initiation Week, Mr. Brendan O’Connor displayed both maturity and intelligence. It was Zsappointing, therefore, to read his article on Science and Philos- 3phy in last week’s issue. Mr. 3’Connor has a misconception of both the disciplines he deals with, seeing Philosophy as mere dog- matism and Science as its blindly obedient handmaiden. Philosophy and Science both search for truth, and as various sciences reveal more and more about man and the universe-past and present- Philosophy becomes more and more dependent on Science.

It would be profitless-even if space allowNed-to att,empt a logi- zal refutation of Mr. O’Connor’s dicta (one cannot say arguments since Mr. O’Connor reveals no interest in evidence): the attempt would be impossible because his article has an extreme confusion and. vagueness of diction, a lack of definition, a n d transitions which are really gulfs.

Nevertheless one must note that all the article really states is that Mr. O’Connor kno,ws the one true God, that any philosophy or science which conflicts with his vision is ipso facto false, and that we sh’ould all therefore embrace his belief, the exact nature of which the article leaves obscure,

There is something warm and secure in such unqu,estioning f;aith; but the Protestant Revo- lution and its evolutionary extenk sion the Empirical Revolution arc made of sterner stuff; and the unquenchable thirst for truth for which universities are founded cannot be assuaged by Such ab- stract special pleading, s u c b bloodless dogmatism a s Mr O’Connor’s article offers.

“Uh-h-h-h-, yeah. Well sure it’ll work kid. Why we’ve got seventeen miles of copper wire wound around that eight hundred ton core, a thermo-nuclear-pow- ered thermocouple to operate it, atid all the comforts of home in that passenger compartment.

The Sports E’ditor says to write something on this year’s edition of the hockey team; There is enIy onecatch, I don’t know anything \ , about it. Some readers may say that ,this is a prerequisite for my

\ column; so I will comment on the basis of a few remarks, quips and

.f I opinions as expressed by the players themselves.

First no one seems to’be ready to predict what success may, or

’ may not be obtained. There are

around the campus, looking for the list to see whether they would be playing or not. This practice is rather disconcerting and it is ihe general feeling that the team should be chosen once and for all so that the players would know where they stand.

/ quite a few returnees, plus some equally goiod newcomers, so that, all in all, it should be no worse th’an last year which showed a

1 .. scant two wins. Most of* the remarks concern

perennial “beefs” that the players . have. The condition of the ice at I ~ Waterloo Arena leaves much to be

desired. It would be safer to wear skis than skates. Anyone who would enter the building dressed

/ in anything. less than mukluks, parkas, scarf, etc., will soon think that they are in a refrigerator.

Another point of dissension concerns the “black list”. Before the McMaster game it seem,s that several players’ were wandering

Along with the few beefs there are, of course, some positive fac- tors. First of all, was the win over McMaster by an 8-5 count. This exhibition could give an in- dication that only a three goal edge over McMaster could indi- cate inadequate depth to defeat the other more powerful teams. And let us not forget that the engineer members of the team will be leaving at the end of the Christmas term.

Such are Lthe observations oJ this writer based solely on &on- versations in the Torque, Room with the players themselves, Whether you agree or, not, it will be well worth your while to sup- port the team. They will give their best to produce an interest- ing and enjoyable brand of. hoc- key.

Tonight in Buffalo, the Univer- sity of Waterloo Mules will open their 1959-60 basketb,all season

’ ’ when they. play ‘Erie Tech: To- morrow afternoon the Mules will play host to the Jamestown N.Y.

I ’ 3 6 College Lancers at 4:OO p.m. at , Seagram Gymna:sium. In the

r opening game tomorrow at 2:OO , p.m.; the Waterloo Jayvees will

meet Eastwood in their opener. This year the Mules, under the

- coaching of Dan Puglise, will be ! seeking the Intercollegiate Cham-

i / + pionship which they almost won last year, only losing to 0.A.C. in

*’ the finals. This year’s squad con- sists of eight returnees and one freshman. :

So that you may become kc- ‘quainted with this year’s Mules,

\ here is some information about the players:

Alf Spricenieks: Alf is captain of this year’s team. He is a KC1

,groduct and is in his third year with the Mules. Alf has a fine set shot and is, a good rebounder,

v which makes him a two-way L : threat. ’ . Bob Thompson is 6’ 4” and

‘plays centre. 1 Bob played for .Galrt CVI and is in his second year. He is a good checker and the best rebounder on the team.

Bsirry Ridgewell is 6’ 0”. He - hails from London and ,plays

guard. He has very good reflexes t and is very fast. Barry is perhaps

. I t&l most versatile player on the .C squad. ; ‘,He is a good rebounder,

’ checker .~aand displays a fine takietyc of ‘shots.

’ c-i ,Bru&q; Stieff elmeyer is also a second year boy. Bruce comes from, Kitchener and ‘uses his 6’ 3”, qlO* frame to good advantage,’

I Fhich makes him one bf the best qebounders and defensive players gn the team. ; ’ Bill MacNaughton is ‘a 5,’ 11”

guard who comes from Kitchener. _ l&ill is a top notch play-maker and

b&s a fine set shot as well as a

I good jump shot.

. i Morley Rosenberg is, back with \ the Mules this year, after a year

of absence. Morley comes from Hamilton, is, a rugged performer and drives well.

i George’ Rose is from Sudbury High School. Although only 5’ 7” tall, G#eorge has a fine- jump shot and is a fine team player. . e Bernie Long is a 6’ 0” forward who hails Lfrom St. Catharines. Be is one of the best shooters on

the team. He has a fine jump shot, set shot, and can drive well from both sides.

Ray Miske is another Kitchener boy and is the only freshman to make’ the varsity team. Ray is 6’ 3’ tail and is a fine two-way player. He has a good array of shots and could well develop into one of the highest scorers on the team.

A new six team basketball league has been formed, as a junior league, to complement our varsity teams. The Waterloo University varsity squad, to be known as the Jayvees,‘will com- pete against McMaster Jayvees, Guelph Jayvees, Hamilton Teach- er’s College, Hamilton Institute of Technology and St. Jerome’s Col- lege.

The Waterloo Jayvee’s team is coached by Carl Totzke, and opens its first game against Eastwood Collegiate on Dec. 5 at 2 p.m. in Seagram Gym. Most of the play- ers on this team , are freshmen such as Proudfsood, Pollack, Rucb- ty and Brueckner; all of whotm are considered as good candidates for next year’s varsity‘squad. The idea of, forming this league was toi give the better than average basketball players who didn’t make varsity a chance to im’prove for the next season. A semi-farm team system such as this will, no doubt, improve the calibre *of basketball players on the varsity squad in the near future.

Waterloo Mules’ coach Dan P’u- gliese has been drilling his squad for the past two weeks for the coming games against Erie Coun- ty Tech, there, on Dec. 4, and Jamestown, here, on Dlec. 5.

The Mules are a young team this year, with most of the players in their soph year. A real veteran of the basketball battles is Alf Spricenieks who i.& the team’s cap- tain and’ playmaker. To add height on the team .we have Thompsoni ,Miske and Stiefel- meyer who are all well over 6, ft. tall. To round out our offensive punch there \will be Rose, Mac- Naughton, Ridgewell, Lang and Rosenberg who are all good marksmen as well as tenacious checkers, in spite of the fact that they are a little under 6 ft.

The keynote of our Mules team this year will be a staunch de- fence coupled with a well bal- anced offence. The team/is in good

> F. 4. Broadfoot - The Waterloo Mules. sparked by

Stan Sobieraj’s hat trick and Norm McLean’s pair titarted the hockey season in fine fashion a: they posted an eight to five win over the McMast er .< Marlins. The Mules with a minimum of prac- tice exhibited a well balanced and spirited group ‘as they outskated the Hamilton club forthe first two periods. They hung o,n in the final as Mat tried desperately to even things up. As coach Bob RafZerty coyly stated, “It was a good thing the game didn’t last a minute longer.” This was no fault of the Hamilton timer who periodically forgot to start the clock in the final session!

The‘ game was a- rough and tumble tiair at the best of times, but firmly established a new “heavy” for. the Waterloo ‘club, namely “Wild” Bill Weiler! Wei- ler it seems had a disagreement with a rather large defenceman but settled it in ,a gentlemanly manner by laying the fellow pr!one on the ice. Both participants were given majors for their efforts. The usual pushing matches ensued as everybody rushed to find some- one smaller than themselves to molest.

The big line of the night was the starting line of Sobieraj, Wes- no and Martin. The latter two picking up two goals between them. Another speedy wingman, Ted Witty, got the other marker for the Mules.

Athletic director Carl Totzke also made the trip in the role of acting manager. As Carl wearily stuffed the equipment int,o the bus for the homeward journey he commented, “I’ll talk money to anyone wanting this job.” While this might not be the ,best, adver- tisement for the job the position is open to any eager club follower and Carl would appreciate being relieved from the above chore.

The club shows definite signs of being a winner this season and with a bit more polishing they should emerge as an effective hockey unit that will give the fans plenty to cheer about in the forth- coming battles.

Waterloo Mules pucksters get their f?.rst taste of league action eext ,Thursday night when they host the McMaster Marlins .at Waterloo Arena. The Mules downed the Marlins 8-5 in an exhibition game last week and :oach Bob Rafferty has his charges drilling hard in prepar- ation for first league action.

The Mules will have a lot of new faces in their line-up, but there are enough veterans around to give the team a familiar look. Back from last years’* squad are rearguards Billy ‘ Weiler, Gary Brown, Bernie Fran&en and Paul Donohue. Among the returning forwards are Vic Durish, Tkd Witty, John Wesno, Norm Mac- lean, Fred Martin and Bill Pink- zrton. Some of the new faces are Stan Sobieraj, Aime Rousseau, Butch McGee, Paul Djelaney, Al Emerson and Dave Beasse.

~ As this quarter ‘draws to a ClOSe, we of the Engineering Society would like to look back on the past two~month&,‘and give, the Engineers a gentle bat on the

/ back.

/ &r first notable event was the ! \ initiatioti ob ,193 _ misguided btif

, eager engineering students. Al . Livermore dnd his 1 cohorts

t planned and carried out “HE11 I! , -, Week”, which was started by

yellow turbans and plungers; . ‘highlighted by early morning

workouts; a mud fight, rumours of rebeNion, and terminated by ‘^ a highly successful record hop. ,

Homecoming Weekend next stands in our minds as being successful for the Engineers.

t Hail ye olde yellow mule! (Hail 1 class $A!) Then the Arts and En-

, / ’ gineering Faculties’ squared- o+ff for a football game. ’ Naturally

.I+-->. ,~ _ the Plumbers were victorious /I _ I (14-k). George Kadwell supplie:d 1 I the music that evening, and the

viktory was celebrated by all. This levent enabled the Engineer-

_ ing Society to present the Feder- I ated Charities Campaign with I a cheque for $135.

. Shortly after, P & (G made its , appearance.- This year, the show

was a united effort, with the Ajrts types doing the theatrical part, and the ‘Engineers pulling the technical load. These were our well known events this quarter,

Internally the Engineering- So- (, ciety underwent a few changes:

I An Advertising ’ Co,uncil, in the \ : capable hands of Gary Palen and

Bill Klass, was set up und!er the * direction of Wayne Arbic, Direc-

-1 \ tor of Publications. A permanent - Ge,stetner service was set up, the

* book store is making plans for

expansion, and, at last, ,the Student Offices were cleaned up,

A big move forward was the amalgamation of the Arts and Engineers newspapers in, the Cord Weekly. Gary Lamberi made our initial debut in the Cord, but unfortunately had tc resign. Ron Church then stepped in and has excelled in his man- agement of what could have been a large headache.

This quarter was “Form-a- committee” time for the Ei;ngin- eering Society, and many sub committees were formed. All d&it a marvellous job. For &stance Bill Spencer and Outlaw Jackets Bill Ubincle and Christmas Cards Max Lewis and lunchtime music etc. . . Bob McKittrick also de serves mention for the tremen dous job he has done with the Engineering S,ociety Bookstore.

I feel that this quarter ha done much for the Engineers _ OI campus: not only to benefit them selves, but also in a marked co opkration with the Arts am Science Faculties.. An unprece dented friendliness has growl between the faculties, and ye the rivalries continue, as the: should on a true universiq campus. i ,

In conclusion, I would like tc express my sincerest thanks tl those mentioned above, to John Garrow, Al Wipper, Paul Koch and the many other Engineer who have made this quarter ; success. -

But don’t let this go .to you heads, fellows. Next quarter we’1 really- show them.

“We have. been through space for twenty-three and one-half days now. The space ship ha8 been performiqg Raw- lessly, as was, expected, since it was designed and built by a stu- dent at the Napoleon Engineering School. There are really no mov- ing parts in the power plant of the ship: our propulsion is by means of an elec1romagnetic effect, and .our current for the magnet is being supplied by a thermonuclear-powered thermo- couple. This lack of movement within the ship has resulted in an eerie silence which is at times too much to take. Occasionally, we are relieved by the sound of. a

loud of micro-meteorites mang- mg part of the ship,~ or by the ound of our radio equipment lopping tubes as we pass through L radiation zone.

Al Wippersnapper, my travel- ing companion, has. been very ilent for the past few days. I hink that he is completely ex- lausted from his efforts to get up but of his chair last week. \For Lome reason, he insisted on wear- ng a belt with a. metal belt luekle, and every time the coil s energised, he has to hook his )elt around gome solid object to Geep from ,being slammed hrou,gh the side of the ship.

After Al got over the shock of - l ealizing that‘xhe was out in space, le. began to m&ke himself useful round the ship. We’ were near enough to Venus to examine it :losely with our radar telescope. 21 said that there was apparently 10 land at all, ,;just water. What i place!! ’ ,’ _

t

“Let’s g’o down for a closer .ook. There’s a raft down there. There’s something moving on, it. Zome on, let’s go closer.

Why it 1ooks“like . . . yes, it is! ! t’s a Russian bear, and he’s lolding a Russian flag in his nouth. The horror of it! The llanet Venus -*has been turned nto a Russian Satellite! !” *

The sight of that bear with the Russian flag in its mouth was just ;oo much to. stand, so Al agd I piloted our ship on another :earch for the land mass. on the planet Venus.

‘Look Abdul!’ Over there! Isn’t ;hat another island?’

, ‘Why, yes . . . so it is . . . only this one is bigger: much bigger I don’t understand how we missel seeing. it before. I can see build ings, roadways, and even a slun district. It’s a complete floating C&y; Al. We’ve found a civiliza. tion right here on Venus! But why didn’t we see it before? It,‘! certainly big enough to have beer spotted by our radar. Oh well let’s go down and get ,acquainted.

‘Sure - thing; AbduL Gee, jus think of it: here I am on Venus and I’m really - glad I’m here ‘cause I’ve never been here be fore! and that’s why I wanted tc come, and .gee, there are ever people here!

‘Uh-h-h, yeah. . . . There’s’ i good place to land the ship, Al Let’s set her down.’

We headed for a small plot o land near the outer edge of thi, floating city, and began our land ing procedure. We had apparentl: attradted no att,ention, for the vehicles passing nearby did no change their course as we ap proached. Upon landing and de termining that the / atmosphere was, strangely enough, fit. for ou: use, we descended from. the shil And 1 began j walking towards the adjacent highway.’ For some rea -i

ion, the vegetation which served ts grass was very wet, is if there lad been a recent heavy rainfall, rhe air carried. the repulsive Idour ’ of tidal flats, and a damp :old mist was slowly moving in o surround, us. Thinking that I lad seen, a movement off in the listance,’ I said to Al, ’

‘Al, I think I saw a movement )ff in the distance.’

‘You’re right, Abdul; there’s borne large object moving toward IS.

-,This large obj,ect approached lt an alarmingly rapid rate, and ts motion reminded) me of a sub- vay train rolling into a station It its characteristic break-neck Lpeed. In, fact, as this object lrew near, I was completely con- rinced that itwas indeed a means If transportation. I was soon lroven to be correct in my as- umption, for the vehicle pulled lp in front of us, as if to offer d :loser inspection. ,

It was shaped like a conven- ional train, and’ was made of a jeculiar dull metal. I wasn’t *eally surprised to notice that this Ireation had no wheels, for it had approached smoothly, and quiet- y. Al was the first to break our stunned silence:

‘AbdulJ There’s nobody driving ;his heap!’

I was amazed! Al had &tually begun to talk like a human being. : was even more amazed to see ;hat he was, right. Tihere was ns lriver. , ’

As if in answer to our un- fpoken questions, a metallic voice Doomed out: “Welcome to Castro- Zuba. If you will step inside; .I will take you to our leader, .Mr, Fiddler.” _ -’

A doorway appeared in the aose of the train, :and we cau- iously entered,’ into the interior If the train. It was ’ furnished luite comfortably ’ with a few ;heatre-like chairs, and a small iable. As soon as we were seated, ;he vehicle noiselessly shot for- w-ad<, towards the heart of the :ity. Al and I were silent through- Dut the trip. Even Al was too meystified to speak. The train soon stopped before a large impressive building, and we were told ta get out by the metallic voice.

-A short bearded man hurried down the stairs to meet us, ‘an.d in perfect English, he requestec us to follow him. We were showr into a spacious room containin only one t large desk, ‘. behinc which sat three more beardec men. We were told to be seated The man on the left, spoke: ’

“Gentlemen, we, welcome’ yol to CastroCuba. Seated beside mi is Mr., Fiddler, the premier o CastroCu,ba, , Beside him you se4 Mr. Judah S. Vladavistok, thi chief of ,police. We naturally have a few’questions to ask you, Mr Fiddler.“’

“Why have you come to Castro- Cuba, gentlemen?” e

“Mr. Fiddler, I am Abdul, ben Sonnagun, and this is Al Wipper-- snapper. We are here from the Napoleon Engineering School to do research on the planet Venus. Our purpose here is entirely peaceful.”

This reply seemed to satisfy him, for he turned to Mr. Vlada- vistock and’ whispered something to’ him which seemed to amuse him greatly. . The conversation continued in a more friendly, tone then, with Mr.’ Fiddler asking many questions concerning the functioning of our ship, and the events of our trip. After ,about an hour of this interrogation, a

mall swarthy dman (with a Beard) rushed into the room and po-ke rapidly to Mr. Vladavis- ock. The chief of the’ secret po- ice frowned slightly, and turning ’ o Mr. Fiddler, whispered some- hing to him. Mr. Fiddler in turn rowned, and said:

“Gentlemen, I am very disturb- ~ (d by the fact that we found a baseball in your space ship. That baseball is a e definite sign of rank& inclinations! ! You are Lothing but meddling capit.alistic iringos! ! Ta&e t-hem out and hoot them! !” 7,.

“Nyet. Nyet. String th,em upa- itch. Silly gringo dumbkofis.‘: I vas horrified!! We had come on I scientific mission, and to be reated like this was inhuman. Suddenly it came to me! The vet grass, the mist, the odour of L tidal flat . . . thi.s island could ubmerge! That’s why we d:idn’t ‘ee it before: it wasn’t there! I hought so: that Fiddler guy and his cohorts are just a bunch of ish! ! .-We’ve got to1 get out of lere. . .

‘Al, have you got the remote control unit for the ship? Good.” rhe bearded men led us out of 1 he building, and marched us to t vacarit field near the ‘ship.

“0.K: Al, turn. on the magnet!” I grabbed Al’s belt and we were

erked into the air by the force If the ‘magnet. We regained con? rol of the ship, and regretfully eft the happy island of Castro- . Zuba and headed for home. Since )ur thermo-nuplear react.or is! l nning out of fuel, we expect ‘hat our return trip will take lbout three months. With luck, rou’ll be hearing frolm us next ,erm.”

Meeting. A4, the meeting of’ the Enter- j ’

;ainment, Co*mmittee, held on VIonday, Nov. 30, the preliminary trrangements for the Spring quarter dances were tentatively nade. ,Although this was only 1 ;he . first;: ‘meetitig of the newly formed committee, considerable progress was made in the form of the organization of various sub-committees which will be re- quired for the fulfilment of the” planned program. I

The Spring Fling will once ’ again be the’ main function, of the quarter, with at least two smaller dances planned to supplement ‘the staff - faculty sports activities. Some mention was also made of ’ a stag $nd although the Enter- + tainment Committee unanimo*ly agreed that one was in order, the members also proposed that such an event be put’on in conjunction with certain other elements of the School (for the protection of the Committee, naturally).

The Committee hopes, by get- ting a running start at next quarter, to provide the Engineer- ; ing Faculty with some excellent ’ entertainment. We’d ‘also iike to extend an invitation to anyone interested in the organization of social function& to attend meet- ings next quarter.
