VOLWME I WATERLOO, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, JAN. 19 NUMBER 8

IN OPENER Noted Mathema its Professor Wh ere is a The Constitution?

Visits Waterloo Near the end of October

there appeared on the bulle- tin boards of the University a letter from Paul Dirksen, acting President of the Tem- porary Students Council giv- ing the reasons for the forma- tion of the aforementioned Council and the acts which it planned to carry out.

These acts were the obtain- ing and distribution of Stud-

‘letter by a Student - Facu1t.y committee and was to be presented to the students for a vote by Christmas. It failed to appear; moreover there have been no meetings of the Council since that time. Has there been nothing for it to consider?

Dr. Mordell one of the foremost authorities on num- bers in the world gave two lectures in the Physics Am- pitheatre last Friday. Doctor Mordell has been Chairman of the Board of Mathematics at, the University of Man- chester, a visiting professeur at the Universities of Notre Dame, Colorado and Roches- ter and is also a Fellow of the Royal Society of London. His afternoon lecture dealt with Advanced Number Theory and was mainly for the Mathematics Depart- ment. His evening lecture was open to the public and there were close to 70 people in attendance. The lecture at night consisted of Prime

Integer Theory from Greek to modern times with noth- ing involved which the aver- age freshman could not un- derstand. Among the sub- jects was Fermat’s Last The- orem and problems along that line. Also Doctor Mor- dell promised to send fifty dollars to any person who could give him the integer solution to the problem X raised to the fourth power plus Y raised to the fourth power plus Z raised to the fourth power equals W raised to the fourth power. When you solve the equation just send your answers to Doctor Mordell in care of the Uni- versity of Notre Dame.

4 F. C. U. S. i300.00 per year. At the Jniversity of British Colum- bia a brief on education brepared by their NFCUS :ommittee has been quoted n Parliament 3.2 times. In -960 one of the most am- jitious projects was the Sem- nar on Research, Education md National Development It the University of British Columbia, to which students rom every University in Canada came.

Primarily, though, the NFCUS represents the needs If students to the govern- nent,for the fight for educa- ion is a students’ fight. [f a tiny republic like Ecua- lor can provide free Univer- ;ity education for their Uni- aersity students, the Cana- lian government should be tble to provide more than ;hey do now. To convince ;hem of this is the first aim 2nd objective of the NFCUS.

These NFCUS representa- Jives on the University campuses are chosen in dif- rerent ways; sometimes they zre elected by student vote, sometimes they are appoint- 3d by student council. It is their duty to represent the NFCUS on the campus; to .nform the students on what 1s being done for them on a national level, and to keep the national secretariat in- Eormed of student opinion 3n their campuses. Once every year they represent the students of their Univer- sity at the National Con- gress, held this year at Dalhousie University, in Hal- ifax. The delegates to these Congresses are usually the NFCUS chairmen, and very often the Student Council Presidents.

In bed we laugh, in bed we cry,

And born in bed, in bed we die;

The near approach a bed may show

Of human bliss and human woe.

Does a Day Equal Twenty-four Hours?

Dalhousie Universit.y, site of the twenty-fourth National Congress of the NFCUS.

The large Physics Ampi- theatre was the setting for a most informative and enter- taining lecture January 16. Professor M. G. Rochester of the Geophysics Depart- ment of the University of Toronto gave a lecture en- titled “Does the Earth’s Magnetism Make it a Faulty Clock.” Professor Rochester delineated the present theory on the earth’s magnetism, the Dynamo Theory and how it accounts for such geological findings as the reversal of the earth’s magnetic in some earlier period. He explained the origin of the Toroidal Magnetism within the earth and the slow movement west- wards of magnetic intensifi- cations. By the study of magnetohydrodynamic cur- rents within the earth’s liq-

uid core it has been found that the core of the earth is revolving faster than the mantle and crust. Also be- cause of the electric currents set up in the mantle opposing the currents within the fluid centre there are torques act.- ing on the mantle resulting in slight deviations in the rotation of the mantle. These deviations have resulted in a difference of one milli- second from the mean solar day. This time difference may not seem much but in that time interval the decay of polonium to lead passes through thirty three hundred and thirty-three half-lifes or if you had twenty pounds of polonium 212 at the beginn- ing of that millisecond you would have almost pure lead at the end of it.

%nd compromising, the pro- <ram for the next year evolv- 3s in a five day gestation period. Starting at 8.30 a.m., working through until 11.00 p.m., and the adjourning to the regional caucuses to plan the activities of interest to 2ach particular region is the general format followed.

International Affairs, Na- tional Affairs, Administra- tion and Finance; each sec- tion works out its own program which is then sub- mitted to the entire Congress for approval. And out of it all Comes the program for the next year, the responsibilities and projects delegated to the member Universities and the National Secretariat of the N.F.C.U.S. The activities vary widely; from an am- bitious proposal to ask the government for a fund to provide 10,000 annual schol- arships of $600.00 each to enable many more students to attend Universities, to deciding who represents Can- adian students at Interna- tional Student Conferences.

On the individual Univer- sity campuses, the NFCUS brings the many benefits of a national organization. Lit- erary and photographic con- t.ests, student exchanges ar- ranged both international and between Canadian Uni- versities, support of student petitions and grievances to the University administra- tions and to the government. In Quebec, the NFCUS or- ganized and supported a student strike that forced the Quebec government to accept Federal financial aid, reduc- ing student fees as much as

PART II

What is this “University Life?” It involves a responsi- bility unknown to most stud- ?nts fresh from the High Schools, 1 for in University the students are not under 2s direct a tutelage or dis- zipline as the students in High School. As a University student you have much in common with University stu- dents all across Canada, and it is for this reason that the National Federation of Can- adian University Students exists. The organization and purpose of this Federation is the same as other profession- al organizations in Canada (the Engineering Institute of Canada, for example); to represent and be the official spokesman for the Common aims and interests of all Canadian University stud- ents. These national aims vary widely; from increased financial support by industry and government for the Uni- versities and their students to the issuing of identification cards enabling students to get many discounts in stores and on services.

Once a year there is a National Congress, to which delegates from all the mem- ber Universities come to plan their year’s activities; This year there were thirty-four different Universities repre- sented, from the University of British Columbia in Van- couver to the Memorial Uni- versity in St. John’s Reports are handed in on the year’s activities, and plans and resolutions worked out for the next year. With much arguing, debating, resolving

The newly formed Univer- sity of Waterloo Mathema- ties and Physics Society held its organizational meeting last Wednesday, in the Stud- ent Common Room. It was decided that the Club would hold monthly meetings, each one featuring a talk by a well known and/or interesting speaker in mathematics, physics or related fields. Pur- poses of these talks would be to explore interesting areas not covered by the usual university courses, and at a fairly elementary level.

Following this, elections were held with the following results :

EDITORIAL

Produced below in part is an editorial from the Toronlo Daily Star and since it concerns every one of us directly I thought it worthy of note. It is entitled “SPUTTERING PROFESSORS” and reads as follows:

“University faculties are prone to blame the schools for the high failure rates among first year university students - one in every four or five flunks out. They may have got the wrong sow by the ear. Part of the blame rests with the universities themselves - poor teaching in their own pastures.

Professors and lecturers call themselves teachers but in fact far too many of them are not. They do not know how to teach and have never had any instruction in the art. The presumption seems to be that it is enough to expose the college student to a lecturer whose mind has been pronounced full by a Ph.D. degree, and then by some magical osmosis, the professorial knowledge will flow to the student. As often as not there is no such magic.

Every person who has been a university student has experienced professors who, however brilliant in their special fields, mumble and jumble through a lecture, sputter among ill-sorted notes, or merely read chapters from a book - perhaps their own. It might be said that many students succeed in spite of their professors and not because of them.”

In short, the remainder of that editorial says that the United States are beginning to adopt a system whereby professors and lecturers are instructed in the problems of education and teaching methods. Canada would do well to adopt a similar system says the editorial.

If I was to denounce everything said in that editorial as a tissue of lies, I would be an apple polishing hypocrite. Certainly I have had better teachers but is it a teacher that I need now? I think not. At this stage I believe an imper- sonal director is much more valuable. By director, I mean someone who shows or tells the student what is required of him and then leaves the responsibility of learning com- pletely to the student. I believe the university faculties have the “right sow by the ear ” as far as blaming the high schools for university failure rates but I agree with this only when the failures referred to are first year students. I would blame the high school because “spoon feeding” goes on there on a grand scale especially in grade thirteen, if anywhere, an effort should be made to reduce this “big stick” type of discipline. It is not reduced however, because high school principals these days are preoccupied with establishing fine graduate records. This is wrong because these records stem from two things: a willingness to learn, which is good and a “spoon feeding” with threat of punishment and this, is bad. Certainly it gets him through grade thirteen but when he Comes to university that one in five finds himself without his spoon feeding crutch, he cannot learn to walk in seven mont.hs so he falls.

At this stage a student should realize that nobody is pushing him and that no immediate axe is hanging over his head. This is perhaps the major role of the university in that it forces the student to take the initiative and strike out on his own. I feel this type of “do or die” attitude of the faculties is correct, for today’s students are tomorrow’s leaders. In the future, other people will be looking to them for guidance, and because they have been taught to use their own initiative, taught to make their own decisions and taught the value of self-reliance, they will be in a position to capably accept the leadership in tomorrow’s society.

Letters to the Editor Dear Mr. Editor:

Despite the fact that the Initiation Dance Committee put lots of work into the event, the music definitely did not show it. The dance was well publicized as was shown by the large number of females in attendance. The gym itself was well prepared and this certainly helped the evening; however the same preparation was obviously not made as far as the music was concerned. During the dance, there were times when dancers had to struggle through two con- secutive albums of teen type singers. There were other times when one was expected to dance to music which I am sure was only designed to listen to and nothing more. What I think our dances need is an M.C. or a reason- able facsimile with enough good taste in music to know what is danceable and what is not. The scarcest com- modity around this school is females and this is not more acutely felt than at dances. If we continue to offer them such drivel in the way of music (and this goes for all our record dances) then they will cease to put in an appearance. Isn’t that food for thought gentlemen?

W. Schneider, 3A Mechanical

Dear Sir: But of course, Eichmann

must be executed, and if not executed, th.en. at least im- prisoned for life. An example must be made, so that other men will be deterred from actions of this magnitude. He cannot be allowed to return to society, for he is a danger and a menace. Catastrophe would result should he ever be allowed the freedom of society; this in itself must be self evident from the last fifteen years that he spent loose in the world. Actually, anything short of his death, his death by a slow and agonizing

torture, would be nothing but an encouragement for others to oppress minority $YOUP% and systematically exterminate them.

Now this trial should be conducted in Israel, a coun- try that did not even exist at the time of the actions that he is charged with. And he should be tried according to an international code of law, despite the fact that he has been brought to trial in a manner contemptuous of all international law, so that ultimately the rule of law will be held in high regard by all nations. The charges against him are something else again; he is charged with genocide, de- spite the fact that his alleged victims were neither of one race, nor of one nation.

He should be tried by those nations who conducted the ‘war-crimes trials’ in Nuremburg at the end of the war, in the same manner and respect as those former trials were staged. This in itself is essential, for were justice ever allowed to creep in, nothing but a chaotic up- heaval of society could re- sult. Russia could ideally serve as the Chief Prosecut- or. They have had over forthy years experience in the systematic murder of minority segments of their own population. The United States and Canada might serve as assistants to the prosecution. After all with the extermination of the aboriginal populations on our hands we are well qualified to give counsel. -

The most important thing though is a conviction; a hypocrisy has already been established at Nuremburg and nothing would be gained by abandoning this tradition now. Various German mili- tary and Government offic- ials died after the Nurem- burg trials for plotting and waging ‘an aggressive war .’ Yet when are leader of Britain, France and Israel to

be placed on trial for what the United Nations, and they themselves, admitted was an aggressive war against Egypt in 1956? A German Field Marshall is condemned to death for actions that are encouraged in the American rules of war. A German General is condemned to death because some troops under his command shot a few Canadian prisoners. But where are the Canadians who murdered hundreds of Ger- man prisoners?

He will probably be tried for genocide, or failing this, for mass murder. Significant- ly perhaps, unless a Nur- emburg type trial is resurrec- ted, he will not be tried by those other nations guilty of mass murder. What would be said were the men responsible for the deaths of 150,000 Japanese at Hiroshima and Nagasaki put on trial? Where are the men responsible for the deaths of 400,000 people in three flaming nights in Dresden? Or those respons- ible for the deaths of 150,000 in three days of Hell in Hamburg?

We are supposed to be moving toward a society that will be ruled by law, and will respect the decision of law rather than resorting to the force of arms. How can this purpose be served by the continuing persecution of one nation, a persecution enforc- ed only by our military superiority over them? If these trials are to be held, then all men, from all nations who are guilty, or even suspect, must be brought before the same impartial court of justice. So far it has only been a facade of re- venge, there has been no thought ‘of impartiality to the accused. The Treaty of Versailles catalysed a holo- caust eclipsing entirely the war it ended; at this rate what will the Trials of Nur- emburg bring forth?

THERE IS AN As I glanced through the

January 13th edition of Coryphaeus, the headline “University of Waterloo Stu- dents are Smug, Complacent, Self-centred Slobs,” caught my attention. When I had finished reading the article and had taken notice of who the author was, I found that my reactions were several and varied. I was quite surprised that such a tirade should come from Mr. Hunt- er, a person whom I had considered quite easy-going. This just goes to show how little I know about what my friends are thinking.

My second reaction was one of admiration and grati- tude to Stuart Hunter. I must admire him because he dared to make his secret feelings known. He dared to tell us the truth, that we students are self-satisfied and complacent. Personally I am grateful to Mr. Hunter for helping me to face my com- placency and to rise above it; for it is because of his article that I write now.

My final reaction, how- ever, was one of deep con- cern; concern not only for the complacency of we stud- ents at Waterloo, but, also for the sentiments expressed

ANSWER l m m in the last half of Mr. Hunter’s article. To say the least I was appalled at such an extreme demonstration of anti-American feeling. For me it showed most clearly the extent to which the thinking of Canadians has been subverted.

During the past few months I have noticed an increase in the number of condemnations of the U.S. by Canadians. When will we learn that the only way to survive the Communist bid for world domination is for the free nations of the West to unite and fight together? To unite with our neighbours we must purge ourselves of our petty greeds and hatreds towards others.

We have often criticized the Americans for their wor- ship of the almighty dollar. But, since the U.S. has cut off trade with Cuba, who is it who has rushed m to fill the gap and “make a fast buck?” Why we pious Cana- duans of course. How profit- able this newest venture will be has yet to be seen. With the Cuban economy on the rocks due to the follies of the Castro regime how will Cuba pay for th< goods she receives from Canada? We say that

the U.S. was wrong for cutting off trade and diplo- matic relations with Cuba. However, I wonder if Canada was on the receiving end of all the insults and accusa- tions of the Castro govern- ment, just how long we would stand for such non- sence. People still can’t be- lieve that Cuba is in the clutches of Communism. ‘Che” Guevara, Cuba’s economic planner said re- cently in reference to the Cuban revolution: “If this revolution has any ideology then that ideology is Cuban Marxism, the application of the ideology of Karl Marx to the peculiar problems of Cuba.” The Castro regime is openly promoting commun- ist doctrines and is stepping up its drive against the Catholic church and any other so-called “counter-rev- olutionary” groups. It is interesting to note that the ,only political party with legal status in Cuba is the Communist Party. Still we rush to trade with such a government. I agree with Mr. Hunter when he says “Now is the time for Canada to get things straightened out.” We need to clear away

Lower SLOBovian Insights

To Mr. Hunter:

By Malitaliuv

I agree with you that very little is being done around here by the student body as a whole. However, I feel that your proposals of student demonstrations or protests would fail to serve their purpose - unless they are organized, planned, and generally supported. Interesting students at this university in their own welfare (or getting them up off their butts for their own good, as you say) is the primary problem to overcome. However, letters such as yours will only make them all the more complacent - satisfied to remain on their butts. What we need is action! I challenge you, sir, to expend your enthusiasm in constructively organizing st.udent participation.

To The Angry Young Man: My dear fellow - your hero will soon appear, eagerly

procrastinate, quicklyi disappear. He is only as powerful as his tribe of followers wish him to be. To you also I hurl the challenge.

To My Fellow Slobs: Consuming victuals in the Common room, chattering

endlessly in the classroom despite the presence of an earnest lecturer, scratching designs in desk-tops, holding flagrant discussions in the hall next to the library; all these are doing ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to improve our status of mere SLOBovians.

To NFCUS: My humble thanks to your National Presidum for

prodding our national government with such determination that they have consented to allow tuition as a tax exemption in future years. My humble apologies that I am not a contributing member of your wonderful organization.

ANSWER Cont’d the fog of compromise and face facts. Certainly we stud- ents have an important part to play in the moulding of our nation’s thinking.

Mr. Hunter, in his article, outlines some of the deplor- able results of racial bitter- ness in America. Of course these violences and hateful actions are a terrible blot upon the record of the U.S. Of course, World Commun- ism exploits incidents like Little Rock to the greatest possible extent.

Fortunately there is a solu- tion to the race problem, and that solution has been found in Little Rock. The fact is that we rarely hear of the answer in the Canadian press we just hear about the prob- lem. Are there subversive forces at work to keep us from hearing the good news of problems being solved? I would like to briefly tell of how certain key people in Little Rock have found an answer to racial bitterness and are creating a new spirit there.

During the summer of 1959 three separate delega- tions went from Little Rock to the Summit Strategy Con- ference for Moral Re-Arma- ment (M.R.A.) at Mackinac Island, Michigan. There they learned of a superiod ideology based upon the idea that human nature can be chang. ed. They heard two former Mau Mau leaders from Ken- ya and the white men they had sworn to kill tell of how they had found an answer to bitterness and division through the application of Moral Re-Armament. These people returned to Little Rock with a new vision.

NEW SERIES Beginning in this issue,

with the article ‘National Development’, is a new series If articles written by Theo- lore A. Rushton. These arti- :les are based on lectures and liseussions from the Third National Seminar of the NFCUS, held in the summer 3f 1960 at the University of British Columbia. The arti- ales are based primarily on the lectures given there, the first one appearing in this issue is from the lecture by Walter L. Gordon. Other speakers at the Seminar, on whose lectures articles will be written, include Dr. John Convey, Dr. David M. My- ers, Dr. Eugene Forsey and Dean F. H. Soward.

The Seminar was about Research, Education, and National Development, and this series of articles will deal with the various aspects of these topics, as presented by the different lecturers.

A prominent Little Rock architect, Edwin Cromwell, put it this way: “Little Rock will become the symbol of hope and not hatred for the world through M.R.A.” His partner said: “I hope the world will forgive us for Little Rock. We have had two years of crisis because we have not known which way to go. But here we have found the right way.” Mr. Cromwell designed a film studio which has just been built at the M.R.A. training centre on Mackinac Island. In this studio films depicting an answer to racial and class bitterness are now being pro- duced for television and mov- ie houses across the con- tinent .

Mrs. Daisy Bates, the leading negro woman in Little Rock, upon returning from Mackinac was inspired to do a surprising thing. She went to visit Governor Faubus of Arkansas with whom she had fought so hard over the issue of integration in the schools of Little Rock. She apologiz- ed to the Governor for her bitterness and shook hands with him. Faubus responded very warmly to her visit. This story was publicized widely through the South, and was heralded as a mir- acle. The spirit exhibited by Mrs. Daisy Bates seems tc have taken effect for there has been no new trouble in Little Rock. This all goes tc show that when peopk change situations change also.

I feel that we student5 need to hear and learn more of this superior ideology 01 Moral Re-Armament which is producing such positive results all over the world To this end I am going tc see that such news is placed in our library where all ear read it.

OF INTEREST TO YOU PARKING STICKERS

When I got the new car last Thursday night I was told that I’d get the ownership papers and the insurance transfer slip the next day. This was all well and good, I felt, since I could get my parking sticker on Monday. This didn’t work out. When I tried to find my ear after the first lecture on Friday, it was gone. This made me a little angry so I went roaring up to see Mr. Brookes, Superintendent of Buildings and Grouds. After being assured that I’d get the ear back I asked Mr. Brookes just why we needed the stickers to park on University property.

It seems that the Unsatisfied Judgment Fund applies only in cases occurring on the public roadways of the province. Any uninsured person (covered only by the Unsatisfied Judgment Fund) who causes an accident on nrivate property is no longer covered by liability insurance. I’he University Campus is Private property.

It then follows that if one is pulling out of the parking ot and Joe Schmaltz piled into you with his old ‘34 Dodge rou’re in a bit of trouble. If Joe isn’t covered, except under ;he U.J.F., the only way you can get him to pay for the lamages is to take him to court, etc. This probably won’t lo much good since if he can’t afford insurance he probably ;an’t afford to pay for the damage to your ear. By issuing these parking stickers, the University hopes to protect the nsured drivers of the school.

In order to get the sticker, as you all know, you must 3rove that you are covered by liability insurance. This can De proven by showing either your insurance receipt or your 61 ownership permit. (On the ‘61 licences there is a place

which shows whether you paid out the money for the U.J.F.)

Thus getting the parking sticker is for your own pro- tection and nothing else. If you’ve got a sticker you can park on the University property. Without the sticker your ;ar will be towed away, at your expense. If you don’t have liability insurance, park somewhere else.

Q FOR QUEST This is a new C.B.C. series at 10.30 Tuesday evenings.

It makes a very interesting study break for those interested. The aim of the series is to present interesting and thought provoking items about Canada to Canadians. In the in- lugural programme there was a ballet/drama called “Burlap Bags."

This thought provoking issue dealt with the man’s view of city dwellers. To him they were nothing but a bunch of stupid animals hiding under a burlap bag to escape the glaring, searing light of reality.

The second programme dealt with Art in Canada. A group of Canadian artists discussed what they were doing, and trying to do. The number on Tuesday the 17th will deal with the works of the Canadian poet James Reaney on a theme of Life and Death in Canada.

For those interested in a relaxing bit of exercise for the intellect and imagination, Q for Quest offers quite a bit.

FATIGUE AND THE HUMAN MIND In Newsweek Magazine for January 2, there was in

interesting article on the sleep needs of the individual. Although the causes of fatigue were dealt with to an inter- esting extent, the most interesting part of the article was the section on “Owls” and “Larks”. It seems that some people are naturally built to work for long hours into the night while others are fresher first thing in the morning. The things that Selye (McGill) and Kleitman (U. of Chicago) pointed out show that the individual should find out whether he is a Lark, (i.e., a good worker in the earlier hours of the new day), or an Owl (i.e., one of those fellows who just gets goind around 11.30 or so) and make the best use of this. There is no sense staying up until 3.30 trying to absorb something if you aren’t an owl. It is better to go to bed 4 hours earlier and then get up and study at about 4 a.m. In this ease if your are a Lark you will be further ahead. (And just as one owl to another, I hate being awakened any time before 11.30 any morning).

Warriors 94 - Ryerson 63 The Warriors launched their regular season in grand

style by decisively beating Ryerson 94 to 63. Our team held a commanding lead throughout even although Ryerson did appear to rally toward the end but it was a ease of “too little too late.” Incidentally those 94 points set a new scoring record for basketball in Seagram stadium. Top scorers for the Warriots were Jones (28), Palmer (16), Pando (13), and Aldridge (13). As a spectator I appreciated the fine announcing job done by Lewis Taylor and hope he will be doing it regularly.

If nothing else, the J.V.‘s were consistent against Hamilton Teacher’s College. They lost 54 to 40. Don’t lose any sleep over it guys, it’s only a game.

Injuries Hit Warrior Hoopsters It’s not often a basketball coach has to look blue because

of an injury riddled roster but Warrior coach Dan Pugliese has his problems with three of his players operating under restricted effectivity because of injuries.

His top scoring star Billy Jones (he of the 2%point-per- game-average) has his left hand in a east with a broken third metaearpel bone. He plans to play with the east on and although admittedly he doesn’t do much scoring with his left hand, just how much it reduces his effectiveness remains to be seen. Jones injured his hand in the Assumption game, and got it banged again against Ryerson I_ forcing X-rays and east.

More seriously injured is Brian McCormick who sprained his ankle in the game against Assumption. He will be out from two to three weeks and will be sorely missed. Although only 5’ 9” he could jump with the best of them and was the most manouverable man on the court.

Also injured was Ian MacNaughton who had a badly banged toe which was at first thought to be broken. X-rays showed no break but that news didn’t put an end to the soreness. He’s still walking gingerly - but will be playing.

Hockey At the hockey game on Thursday the 12th, our team

dropped a real thriller of a game to Guelph O.A.C. by only 11 to 1. The fans who turned out were not a large group but they were enthusiastic. This enthusiasm soon gave way to apprehension then dismay then disgust and then to a type of jocund hysteria which set the tone for the bulk of game. The crowd kept reminding one of our stalwarts that the C----- Room was closing soon and that he had better hurry up. I know that the players are out there essentially to have a good time and enjoy themselves, that hockey does not appear to be emphasized as a major sport at this university, that the team had only one practice prior to the game but . . . must the team build such a reputation so fast and crumple school pride with such apparent ease? Let’s have a little more effort out there. I know that in every game there must be a winner and a loser but fellas, do you have to lose by so much? I wish you much better luck in tonight’s game and in future contests.

Intramural Sports

Two intramural leagues got underway this week, the curling league and the bowling league, each with six teams entered. The curlers take to the ice every Thursday at the K-W Granite Club and skips for the teams are Bob Heintz, Graham Fournier, Frank Raehieh, George Pollitt, Don Hagey and Rodney Wilton, all of whom have at least six years’ curling experience. The schedule will continue until March 23.

From this curling group an intercollegiate team will be selected for the Ontario Intercollegiate Athletic Association bonspiel which will be held at the K-W Granite Curling Club Friday, Feb. 17, sponsored by the University of Waterloo. It is expected that eight universities and colleges will be rpresented at this bonspiel.

The six bowling captains are Don Curran, T. Mueller, Larry Moss, Paul Beam, J. Evans and B. Strenzke. The only qualifications they have for their exalted positions of team captains is that they happen to be lucky - they were picked out of a hat.

Bowling is in progress every Monday night at the Waterloo Lanes from 5 - 7 p.m.

they Bowling Captains and curling skips are reminded that

are responsible for seeing to it that they have a full team out for each match. Any student who did not sign the lists but would like to bowl or curl, they may do so by presenting themselves at the respective sites of competitions and let it be known that they’re ready and willin’.

National Development Independence? or Union

with the United States? This is the question that Canada must face over the next twenty years; whether or not Canada will remain an inde- pendent nation or become a satellite of the United States. Whether we like to admit it or not, Canada has been losing a considerable measure of her independence, both politically and economically, to the United States over the past few years. And, to be sensible, we should either take steps to accelerate the pace of further integration with the United States, poli- tically and economically; or alternatively, to take steps without delay to reverse the present trend. Either altern- ative would entail difficulties and some unpleasantness ; free trade and ultimate poli- tical and economic union with the United States would involve serious unemploy- ment and disruptions in Canadian industry; indepen- dence would result in terms of a less rapid rise in our standard of living, although not greater unemployment. Furthermore, either solution would not be immediate, to be successful we should have to work at it for many years with great determination.

But to refuse to face up to the dilemma in which we find ourselves or to admit its implications will lead inevitably to our becoming more or less a helpless satel- lite of the United States.

Politically, we are allied to the cause of the United States and we cannot go neutral. In the first place, there is the problem of wwaphy, neither super- power would oblige Canada by going around or even over us, any more than Germany did in 1914 or in 1940. And apart from this, the Ameri- cans are our friends, our very best friends ~ even if we find their attentions a little overpowering at times. And the Russian Communists are not our friends, let us remem- ber. We do not like their system, and we want no part of it.

This does not mean a subservience to the United States or to anyone, for that matter. The United Nations and NATO are cornerstones of our foreign policy, and they should remain so. But what of NORAD? It all boils down to the fact that Canada has contributed a few squadrons to the Ameri- can Air Force. If Canadian forces are to be equipped with nuclear arms, without which the Bomare is in- effective, then the decision to use these nuclear arms and warheads should be a Canadian decision alone, and not jointly as responsibility of the American President and the Canadian Prime Minister. Can you imagine, in some grave national em- ergency, retalitory measures being delayed while the offi- cials in question are located, the situation explained to them, and their approval given to repel attack?

Canada can achieve a con- siderable measure of inde- pendence if we manage our affairs intelligently. What is needed is to agree upon the objectives that Canada should aim for, and then to

develop the policies that we should follow in an effort to achieve them. For ex- ample :

(1) Will they result in a further loss of Canadian in- dependence, or the reverse?

(2) Will they result in more jobs and less unem- ployment?

(3) Will they cause in- flation?

(4) Will they make a real and substantial contribution to the defense of the Free World or of North America?

(5) Will they benefit the people of Canada as a whole, or just particular groups or classes or sections of the country?

(6) How will they affect the personal incomes and the cost of living?

(7) Will they tend to create difficulties for us at some future time?

(8) Will they benefit the people in depressed sections of Canada, or people in other countries who are less well off than we are?

Some of these policies are, of course, not mutually ex- elusive. For example, a broad program of public works may help alleviate unemployment but this is some way must be paid for and this may reduce personal incomes or increase the cost of living or cause inflationary measures, either now or in the future. Borrow- ing by municipalities in the United States when the Can- adian dollar is at a premium may solve an immediate problem, but this may have to be repaid when the Cana- dian dollar is at a discount which would entail heavy additional costs. In short, it will be impossible to please everybody with any set of policies. But in deciding upon the best course for Canada to follow in the years im- mediately ahead, the first two factors are of para- mount importance. With un- employment the highest now since the war the problem isn’t going to be solved by rhetoric or exhortation, or by ad hoe measures of relief, but instead by policies that are going to correct the situation over the long term. If we really wish Canada to retain her separate identity as an independent nation, we shall have to re-examine our pre- sent defence and foreign policies and do something about stopping and then reversing the trend under which such a staggering num- ber of our most dynamic industries have fallen into foreign hands.

Now, how does education fit into this? If we decide we want to recapture some of our disappearing independ- ence and if we succeed in this attempt, all kinds of research work will be required in Canada. If industries in Can- ada are to be Canadian owned, then their research will have to be done in Canada, and not dependent on another nation. There must be an urgent incentive to improve our educational facilities at all levels and to make it possible and desir- able for a larger percentage of our High School graduates to go on to University.

hgineering lociety The Engineering Society

xecutive Committee held 5 first meeting last Thurs- ly and is off to a brilliant art. A new record was set r promptness and attend- tee. The promptness record as broken when the 7.00 eeting started sharply at 13. Although there was not 10°jo turn out every year as well represented. Year ur also sent a member. hough only Pre. Eng and ear 1 members were proper-

documented, the meeting as very successful. Graham ife became the Second Viee- *esident and in this position responsible for the opera-

In of the Engineering Book- ore. Secondly the theme Id dates for The Weekend ?re suggested. The theme as Valentines, the dates 2bruary 17-18. If anyone 1s a suggestion for the riday night program Pete ent, who is heading The ‘eekend Committee, would 3 glad to hear from you.

Walking through any hall )u can hear the standard ?efs, the paper isn’t worth hat we are paying for it . . . ,hletie fees are too high . . . .e student union building lould be building . . . This ;larter may not be as active , its predecessor but it sure n gripe more and do less.
