Stratford Teachers College could become part of the University of Waterloo as a result of a new gov- ernrnent policy to upgrade teacher training.

The Ontario government’s hopes to raise standards by associating provincial teachers colleges ~4th existing universities in their area, said education minister William Da- vis during the debate on estimates

for his department inthelegislature recently .

The Stratford college is badly in need of new facilities and must be moved. It is located right beside the ShakespeareanFestivalgrounds.

Although the matter has been men- tioned in the legislature, it appar- ently has not been brought to theat- tention of University of W aterloo of- ficials.

“TO the best of my knowledge there have been no official discus- sions of this with members of the department of education,” said

university president J. G. Hagey. Davis said in the legislature, “It

is obvious that a new building must be provided on a new site to serve the needs of thearea. Existingplans call for the provision of a college which is hoped may be conducted un- der the aegis of a neighbouring uni- versity.”

The University of Western On- tario has already formed a relation- shib with the teachers college in London. Waterloo is the only other university in Stratford’s immedi- ate area.

viting conscientious objectors to come to Glendon.

“Furthermore we recommend that interested (American) students apply for Canadian landed-immi- grant status. This is permanent,

The action stirred up bitter debate on campus until it was finally shot down 3-to-1 in a referendum March 6.

Besides York’ a student group at the University of Windsor has also passed a motion similar to Water- 100’s.

This is the text of the Olendon r es olution:

“It is resolved, therefore, that the student council make known these recommendations so that in- terested conscientious objectors may apply to this institution and be made welcome here.”

The principal of Glendon College replied only that “students with non-Canadian certificates are ad- vised to apply for admission to Glen- don College by July 1 (as stated in the calendar), but late applica-

“Surely it is just as important for young Canadians who pretend to be educated to be able tounderstand both the official languages of their country as it is for them to reach a certain stage of understanding of the new mathematics,” he said.

MONTREAL (CUP)--Canada need not worry about a brain drain of its engineers, a world-famous engin- eer told delegates to the Congress of Canadian Engineers last week.

But Lord Hinton of Bankside, a British engineer, spoke of some companies practice of setting up design offices in foreign countries where they make use of local en, gineering talent for out-of-country

purposes. This kind of “invisible brain drain” as he terms it’ does away with the expense and difficulty of hiring trained engineers and get- ting them to emigrate.

OTTAWA--With a Shakespearian flourish of-trumpets and drum roll, they walk out onto the stage. The audience claps politely for it is not exactly certain of how it should react to the spectacle. For this is not an ordinary chorus. The arches tra, the chorus, the dancers; they.are all from the Soviet Union. Politically, they are our enemies.

They are wearingkhaki tunics with red epaulettes , a row of shiny, sun- like buttons down the front, navy blue pants and highly polished boots. The discipline may not be being en- forced at this particular moment, but there is no mistaking that they are soldiers.

Then, as if on cue, they all stand at attention and from the wings strides an old man about sixty. His hair is bushy and white and he car- ries himself with the prideful air of a man doing what he feels is his only calling in life. A gain the polite ap- plause tip toes down from theaudi- ence. The portly, white-hairedman raises it and then brings it down in a quick little arc ending at his side,

“Oh, Canada, our home and native land...? You can feel the emotion

greets the Red Army Chorus welling up inside of you; your heart beats a little stronger, you stand a little straighter , you feel the chills run up and down your spine. The effect of the hundred male voices is indescribable. Suddenly you begin to realize what we have struggled for all these years.

“The lnternationale”, is played. At and longer they clap and finally the soloist reappears from the wings and walks forward. *‘Encore, en- core” a dozen voices demand and now a hundred more join in, “En- core, encore, encore,” And heob- liges and picks up the song just be- fore he has to sing his- long note. And it is as beautiful this time as it was the time before. Once more the audience shows its appreciation for the beauty of the song and the ability of the artist, Two, three times he walks off the stage only to be called back. Now the conduc- tor walks over and shakes his hand and the building begins to shake in sympathy with the applause, Finally it dies down and fades away.

So it continues throughout the three hour performance. More en- cores, other soloists until it is all over. In a surge of emotion the au- dience rises and at the same time the chorus, too, begins to clap, The chorus starts singly and then slips into a rhythmic clapping and theau- dience joins in. Faster and faster and faster until the stacatto sounds fill the Auditorium. Faster andfas- ter until it breaks out into a pro- longed wave of applause.

The white-haired conductor re- turns from the wings and raises his

baton. The audience, still standing, quietens and waits p

“True patriot love, in all thy sons command...” And you sense the electricity coursing through the audience as they too feel what you are feeling. The voices rise to a crescendo; then more softly now, with only the brass section playing.

“With glowing hearts we see thee rise, the true north strong and free. And stand on guard, oh Canada, we stand on guard for thee.” And then it happens. It’s about this point when you feel your eyes start to water; your vision blurrs and you feel so proud...

“Oh, Canada, glorious and free... “And the rest is lost in a wave of emotion.

There is no simile or metaphor for comparing the sound of “Oh, CanadaPB whensung bytheRed Army Chorus. It’s the most besudful and moving sound in the world.

There is a momentary pause and then the Russian national anthem,

Paul Widden, a grad student in biology, received a kitchen dowry when the biology females - students, staff and techs - threw a shower for him recently. He and the former Sharon Derrough, English ‘2, were married May 27 and are on their waj, to Calgary. He was don of West I at the Village.

However, please do not get too emotionally involved. The letter, in fact, was written by a magnetic- tape Selectric typewriter which writes personalized form letters by selecting paragraphs from magne- tic tape.

its conclusion there is a gentle rip- ple of applause from the audience which the conductor ignores.

On walks the first soloist, the guest artist for tonight. The audi- ence is now primed for the evening, they know what to expect and the ap- plause becomes deafening. Finally the soloist steps to. the microphone, bows to his right, his left and then to the center e As if on cue, the au- dience abruptly stops applauding and the music begins.

First you strain your ears trying to catch the elusive notes. A cou- ple enters late and the high heels clack up the concretesteps drowning out the music as she and her hus- band find their seats. The music grows in volume, more passionate; a sudden pause and then the soloist begins. It is a long note, held for an eternity and then thechorus joins in. Again the music grows. Louder and louder, the conductor urges and pleads with his singers, cajoling with them, begging. A crescendo is reached and then drops off and the soloist begins again.

Then, almost too soon, the song is over. And the audience applauds louder and more strongly than you could ever have imagined. Longer

MONTREAL--About theonly thing that the British, F rench,Russian and American pavilions at Expo have in common is that they are the show- places of four of the world’s major powers.

I visited the buildings in that or- der and would rate them, person- ally, the same way.

The British pavilion is the best I have seen so far.

The building is logically set up so that, although it takes a fair amount of time, it is not confusing or hard to see everything. All the movies and demonstrations are set so that by the time you leave the finish of one and walk to the next,

it IS just beginning. This is no accident - I’ve been there three times and it happens each ti.me.

The exhibits give a good idea of the British people and their country. You leave with the striking feeling that for a few hours you were in England.

You enter the F r ench pavilion and a fantastic electronic sound-and- light display meets you. In the Russian pavilion there is a striking bronze head of Lenin. ,

The French have a large display

After visiting theFrench and RI& Sian pavilions it was hard to decide which was better. In many respects hey were very similar. Both are about three parts technical to one arts.

“Should auld acquaintence..a”and the next few bars are drowned out by the applause. Then the audience joins in, singing, “Well drink a cup of kindness yet....”

I asked one of the singers after the program if their coming to Can- ada and Les Feux F ollets’s going to Russia might be the beginning of a greater friendship between our two countries and an easing of the cold war. He said that it was not the groups touring other countries which would do this, but that it was the audiences which increased the friendship. For the audience tonight, he explained, would go home and be less inclined to feel hostile toward Russia, the same as Russian audl- ences would be less inclined to feel hostile toward Canada when they had seen Les F eux Follets. He turned to go, hesitated and turned to me and said, “Good luck,friend. We enjoyed being here tonight.‘*

by Don Klassen You have just receivedapersonal-

ized letter from the registrar’s of- fice.

It has, in all the time-honorecl, courteous phrases informed you of your standing at the University of Waterloo. Beginning with a sym- pathetic ‘a ear...” the letter seems to come straight from the heart of some sweet young secretary.

The machine was developed three years ago by IBM and one of themis used in the registrar’s office. Al- most 90 percent of the admissions correspondence is done with it. The office rents the machine from IBM for $266 per month and can request revisions or a new model as the mod- el improves.

Carefully composed paragraphs are typed onto magnetic-tape cart- ridges with the machine and any mistakes can be corrected by typ- ing over the error. Each succeed- ing paragraph is numbered on the tape which has a capacity of 50 paragraphs.

The operator selects a tape by

dialing its number on the machine and then sits back and watches the typewriter do the work.

It types messages at 186 words a lninute and a ~ucce.~~i~~~ of para- graphs can be done in one operation by dialling them in the correct or- der,

One fault of the machine is that it will not justify the right margin. It cannot scan ahead in a line to

ink of y UC education not for tomorrow’s job, by W.A.E. McBryde

I must first of all tell you that, as far as I know, no such place as Iroquois College exe ists. It is a hypothetical institution, rather like James Thurber’s Unicorn in the Garden- a mythical beast. However, even if it is not a tangible reality, this college does have a form and organization in the minds of a group of people who are its creators. These are a group of faculty members in my own univer- sity; but I should add that, I cannot assure you that my description of it will tally in every respect with the vision that each of my fellow day-dreamers has. Indeed, apart from the suggested name-which is really a sort of cOde name, an academic Thunderball or Overlord- I cannot claim any great share in its concep- tion.

William Arthur Evelyn McBryde, the University of Waterloo’s dean of science, was presented with the Chemical Edu- cation Award of the Chemical Institute of Canada, on Wednesday.

Dean McBryde received the award at the institute’s annual conference held in Toronto. Dean McBryde has been ac-’ tive in the CIC’ s education program and has helped prepare and administer the institute’s professional examinations. He has also served on the board and council of the 6,000-member UC.

Iroquois College is visualized as a small self-contained college of general or liberal studies. It is best operated inassociation with a major university, but not necessarily lo- cated within it. Students in the college wffl study in some breadth and in some depth for a single degree, which I think should be a Bachelor of Arts. But lurking behind the question of the degree is another problem.

Dr. McBryde has acted as a con- sultant in the revision of grade 12 and 13 courses in chemistry.

He is co-author of (Outlines of chem- istry’, which will be used in Ontario schools in the new courses.

He has his BA and MA from the University of Toronto and received his PhD in chemistry from the University of Virginia.

Most Arts and Science programs in Cana- dian universities are organized within a two- tiered structure. In the most common prac- tice, some students study for an Honours degree in four years, and others study for a Pass or General degree in three. The dis- tinction between the pass degree and thehon- ours degree, connotes a double standard in Canadian university education. A pass de- gree is acknowledged as inferior to an hon- ours degree. By exclusion, then, anything that is not honours is second rate.

he like. I arn concerned that this group of students have difficulty in securing a mean- ingful education because of the operation of

the career-oriented honours courses or the alternative of a programme that may be second-rate leading to a degree that is sec- ond rate. I search my conscience and I find there little evidence from my ownexperience that anyone cares much about the non-hon- ours student.

But what, really, is the special quality of the honours programme? It is an inheritance from the British universities, and has no counterpart, as we know it, in the United States. For honours work it is assumed that the university receives students from the secondary educational system who possess the requisite general education and the ma- turity to profit by intensive study in a single discipline.

Transposed to the Canadian scene the honours course has undergone some subtle modifications. But the program retains the concept of achieving study in depth ina single subject, and the entire programme is direct- ed toward this objective. Themajor and an- cillary subjects are highly career oriented.

The concept of Iroquois College is based on a high quality programme of four years’ duration, but it is the convction of thosepro- posing it that we do not want to offer or even to permit the degree of specialization that characterizes the typical honours program. In point of fact no university in the United States offers or permits a first degree pro- gramme having the specialized content avail- able in the Canadian universities. But you can appreciate, I am sure, that anyone pro- moting the concept of liberal studies of high quality is going to be faced with a task of es- tablishing the credentials of the programme in the face of a traditional attitude that a “general” degree is inferior to an honours

degree. I shall return to this point later. Let me make two points clear. I do not

mat I am stating, in other words, is that the honours programmes are the special con- cern of the individual departments in our universities. These departments are staffed with highly qualified specialists, selected al- most always on the basis of attained or po- tential research achievement. These men and women become preoccupied withhonours and graduate teaching and with their own re- search. There is nothing wrong With that; it

is intellectually and practically the more re- warding task, especially when criteria for promotion are considered. But with this at- titude entrenched, who cares about or looks after the non-specialist? Who considers the quite possible different curricular needs of the students who are seeking a general (which does not mean superficial) education? Who encourages the student to consider the rele- vance of his studies one to another or to the needs and goals of society ?

These are some problems in general edu- cation that we have been slow or unwilling to act upon. And perhaps one of the most re- markable things is that this “blind eye” has been most conspicuous on the part of Arts and Science departments. Thus, although studies in Arts and Science represent the core of every liberal education, the faculties administering these studies have been the least prepared to acknowledge the place of general education.

If Iroquois College ever becomes a reality, what will be the nature of the general or lib- eral studies in which its students will engage? I think what is sought-or should besought-h in an educated man can besumrnarizedunder general headings :

mean to imply that the notion of a liberal studies programme is unknown in Canada. I think, for instance, that institutions like Mt. Allison University or Prince of Wales Coll- ege do provide the opportunity for widely based studies, and I have no doubt there are others. And secondly I am not in any way whatsoever opposed to the honours program- mes in Canadian universities.

1. A knowledge of our inheritance from the past.

2. An appreciation of contemporary stu- dies in the humanities, social stud- ies , and the natural sciences.

3. An ability, hopefully developed from the study of some subject in depth, to think independently and to make value judgements .

the alternative route

4. Some degree of aesthetic apprecia- tion.

I am dismayed at the arrogant attitude

even in science or that, or even in science I am tempted to think that inthecomplex- generally, to be satisfied with or prepared to ity of today’s and tomorrow’s world we can struggle with the rigours of our honours cour- no longer afford the intellectual isolationthat ses. And yet, lest you get the wrong im- so often results from an education based on pression, these are often students of high narrow specialization. To be sure, most of academic calibre-scholarship winners and us are forced by the nature of our work into

4 The CHEVRON

The central notion in my remarks today is that there ought to be available some al- ternative route to a respected degree. What I am suggesting, in fact,is thatcanadashould complement its existing university system with a sprinkling of good quality liberal arts colleges. And why do I advocate this? Well, during seven years as a dean of a science faculty I have encountered a great many stu- dents, and I think the proportion of these is increasing, who are not sufficiently commit- ted to a career in this science or that, or

in recent years on the part of some young people toward ideas and values from tie past. This rejection of human experience and tradition is surely the hallmark of ig- norance; to hear some university students talk today one might get the impression that democracy, or sex, or ethics were ideas as new and original as a spacecraft. Perhaps, as a bare minimum, an exposure to a Great Books course or its equivalent would serve as a reminder that people have been thinking intemely for centuries, and documenting their thoughts with clarity and precision-- even if the idiom of their writing is not to- day ‘s.

a degree of specialization. But must we close our minds to all that is not immediate and useful? May the scientist not at some time become accountable to society for the relevance of his activities? May thelawyer- turned-politician not have to make anintelli- gent decision on a science policy for his country? Someone will surely say thatit will require teamwork to solve these problems, and I daresay it will. But the members of the team have to communicate, and I am un- easy lest perhaps they will not have enough common vocabulary to do so with meaning.

But if we need breadth in education sotoo

must we have some depth. It takes time and continual application to master a subjectwell enough to apply it, to appreciate its back- ground and limitations, and to acquire con- fidence in the practice of it. Ihe educated in- dividual must appreciate the diversity of knowledge: he must also respect the inten- sity of it.

I doubt if aesthetic judgement can be taughts but I am sure it can be developed. Universities have an excellent opportunity to provide an abundance of art, music, drama, and other forms of artistic expression as a sort of backdrop against which formal studies are conducted. Our hypothetical college must seek the resources for offering its students the opportunity to encounter the arts in good measure and high quality.

shortcomings of the past

Given the opportunity to establish some- thing like Iroquois College, I should thir&the founders should try to avoid some of the shortcomings that seem to have developed in our existing universities. One of these is the importance attached by the faculty to ex- aminations as a means of promoting and ranking students. (I have deplored this situ- ation in the case of our provincial matricul- ation examinations: I cannot honestly portray it a~ much better in our undergraduate uni- versity faculties .)

I acknowledge that educators have had little success in devising other foolproof measurements of student accomplishment. Essays, laboratory reports, problems, and various other assignments, are unreliable owing to the possibility of collusion, plagi- arism, and other abuses. On the other hand, our educational practice has become SO ex- aminadon-oriented that the whole goal of study is directed toward passing examinations rather than developing habits of independent, creative work.

A second shortcoming in our North Am- erican universities is the tendency to sep- arate all instruction into unrelated courses. At its worst this smorgasbord approach to education encourages the notion that a uni- versity degree--the symbol of an “educated” man--is earned by the accumulation of some prescribed number of credits with little re- lationship among the bits and pieces that make up a programme of studies.

Often there appears to be indifference or ignorance on the part of instructors in one department concerning the relevance of ma- terial to other areas of study. How often does the chemist or physicist allude to the application of a particular concept to the neighbouring disciplines of biology or geo- logy: for instance, osmotic pressure to the transfer uf fluids in living cells, or the

phase rule to the genesis of igneous rocks? And then again, in the forward and outward movement of all knowledge, disciplines that once appeared unrelated have sometimes now grown together. The biologist, the en- gineer , and the geographer have found a common concern in the pollution of air and water; the mathmetician and the business administrator have created new skills in operations research. One of the great oppor- tunities, indeed, I should say obligations, for universides is to reveal to the student these growing areas of joint interest.

One of the problems of contemporary universities is their trend to bigness. The advantages claimed for large size in univer- sities are usually advantages of scale. But not everyone within the universities accepts that these criteria should take precedence over others that encourage limitationinsize. It is a gross oversimplification to say that universities exist for teaching and research. They also exist for learning. And learning embodies many things: it presupposes the existence of good teaching, a good library, opportunides for discussion among students, and between students and staff-in short, a special environment in which the individual has the opportunity to take part in his in- tellectual and emotional enlargement. It is commonly hoped, too, that university students will acquire, in addition to their formal learning, some of those social skills and essential ethical and aesthetic values that will enable them to take their place as lead- ers in the society into which they willgradu- ate. Much of this cannot be taught, but must be acquired by example, by a sifting of val- ues derived from continual discussion and debate, and by a variety of factors thatnever appear on the transcript issued by the uni- versity registrar,

Can good learning --either of the subject matter of courses, or of the intangible val- ues expected in an educated man--flourish in a university with an undergraduate popul- ation of many thousands ? I don’t think it can. The individual, for one thing, is depressed by the impersonal quality of this environ- ment, and many students lose interest or be- come indifferent in it. Others restrict their participation to the bare classroom require- ments and set their sights on the quickest route to graduadon,

In Canadian universities about 607’0 of the students enrol for Arts and/or Science pro- grammes, and these tend to be the largest group on each campus. In the larger univer- sities various patterns of organization have emerged with the common goal of pardtion- ing this large group of students into small- er, more manageable parts. One such de- vice is the College system. Another is the fragmentation into separate faculties. This began innocently with the separation of Sci- ence from Arts, but more recently a number of specialized faculty units have appeared. Mathematics at Waterloo and Humanities and Social Sciences at McMaster are among these.

This practice, introduces a kind of acade- mic separation which appears to be contrary to the notion of a university. The separate faculties hinder the student wishing to ac- quire breadth of content in his education. Limits on the amount and kind of Arts work that may be included in a B.Sc. programme, or of Science courses that are available for a B.A. programme, and other such impedi- ments to general education can easily be shown to exist in institutions of which I have firs t-hand knowledge.

A number of academic people are now be- ginning seriously to question whether these existing programs should be the only valid route to a respectable university degree. And many of the same people are also won- dering if reasonably small Colleges of gen- eral studies might not be one of theanddotes to the academic sprawl that they see afflict- ing some of our larger (or growing larger) universides.

This of murse brings me backto Iroquois College. My vision of this prospective coll- ege of general studies is that it should be small in enrolment--no more than 2000 stu- dents-and that it should best belocatednear and organized within a larger university. An example that suggest itself is the relationship of Glendon College to York University. The size is important, I think, to ensure a rea- sonable opportunity for students and staff to become acquainted in all direcdons. But the important thing is that the small size is not achieved by lumping together a few depart-

but for life’: McBryde ments with related interests: Instead, I advocate making available, within reason, a full range of studies in arts andscience up to the baccalaureate level.

Colleges of this sort have, as I said be- fore, existed autonomously for years in the U.S.A., and many of them have achieved en- viable reputations. I am not so sure that one could just simply start a college based on these ideas and have it in-mediately ac- cepted in those parts of Canada where the pattern is unfamiliar. But I do think one or more such colleges could be’developed within or by our existing universities. The student entering a university where such a college was in operation could than choose between pass or honours programs as at present, or a broadly based general studies program. I am confident that such a general studies program would be sought by many students were it now offered. I am likewise confident that students who consciously choose this kind of program and succeed in it will be a credit to any institution that a- wards them its degree.

I see Iroquois College operating essen- tially independently under the Senate of a foster university. The collegestudents could, as necessary or appropriate, draw upon the localities available only to the university. Its staff can participate in the life of the university while the university in turn can enrich the college program.

The undergraduate curriculum, should be be structured in such a way that every stu- dent will have sampled the broad areas of history and philosophy, language and Uter- ature, social studies, mathematics B life sci- ences, and physical sciences. In addition, each student will have selected a subject or area for more intensive study. Instead of strong and rather autonomous departments, it would be preferable in the college to or- ga&e the teaching staff into larger divi- sions to encourage the merging of neigh- bouring studies.

limits on learning I should hope in Iroquois College that the

amount of formal teaching could be cut down below the present level. It would be of much greater value to the student to be given a curriculum and book list at the beginning of each tours e, and to curtail the amount oflec- turing to which he is exposed. There is a widespread impression among undergradu- ates that the syllabus for a course is defined by the lectures, and it would be a good idea to encourage on the part of students that they set their own limits on where learning s tops.

A recurring question about Iroquois Coll- ege is this: Who will teach in it? The ques- tion is asked with varying implications, such as Who would want to teach in it? or Where will staff be found? or What will be the re- lationship between the college staff and that in the rest of the university? or Will there be opportunities for research in the college? I don’t know all the answers to these ques- tions, but I can comment on them.

There are people now teaching in our un- iversities who have alrtidy expressedinter- est in this hypothetical college, and even in teaching in it. From such conversations as I have had on the subject I am convinced that a good many experienced university teachers would be available to teach insuch a college, and their experience could do much to launch its program successfully. I think the college should be staffed by people whose first interest is in teaching, and whose atti- tude to teaching is not narrowly based on specialization. The effort required for good teaching at this level is substantially greater than is often acknowledged, and one of the reasons why some professors skimp ontheir teaching is bluntly that universities reward research achievement far morethanteaching achievement.

It is widely held that no one worth his salt will go to work in a university unless ne has bountiful opportunities for research

and this is probably partially true. The ar- rangement I have suggested whereby Iroquois College operates in close association with a full university should permit a variety of re- search opportunities &her within the college proper, or on a cross-appointment basis within the university.

It is certainly not my view thatthe college should attempt to set up expensive facilities for research. There aresomeareas inwhich a college of this sort could make important contributions without the requirement of expensive facilides. One such area is in the professional development field or curriculum r eforrn for secondary schools. Examine a list of participatns in theCHEMStudyor CBA Projects, and notice how many staff from liberal arts colleges have played key roles.

Enough has already been said of the in- iquities of a rigid applicadon of the rule to “publish or perish” that I shall not labour this point further. Let us acknowledge,how- ever, that we have perhaps all known out- standing university teachers whose progress in the university ranks has been blocked through failure to play the research game. If Iroc~~ois College ever becomes a reality I hope we can see appropriate recognition of good teaching by the members of its staff.

- - - I

Finally, I want to exposeonequiteserious problem in connection with the operadon of any college of the sort I have been describ- ing. With the incredible expansionof the uni- versities in this country the cost is falling more and more onto the public treasury and the governments who are the principal pat- rons of higher education now have begun to exercise some constraints on the funds ad- vanced for this purpose.

In the Province of Ontario, the govern- ment has established a system of formula grants based on the number and kind of stul dents taught. Funds are thus allocated tothe affected universities radonally rather than on the basis of pressure.

However, one aspect of this scheme of financing is that general arts and science students earn for the university the lowest income per student taught. It has been esd- mated that, for a university to reacha break- even point under the Ontario formula grant system and to maintain a 12:1’student/facul- ty ratio, it would require a minimum enrol- ment of 4000 general arts and science stud- ents ! A college like Iroquois with an enrol- ment pegged at 2000 is accordingly going to have to operate at a very unfavourable stu- dent: staff rado, or operate at a loss. The only alternative is to try to modify the formula grant system.

Will lroquois College ever come into be- ing? I hope so. I hope my university or some university will take the plunge and in- clude some such facility in its expansion plans. Given a staff dedicated to the ideas and ideals embodied in true liberal education I think such a college can play an important and challenging role among our universities. I have an idea, though, that because this kind of educational philosophy is less common in this country, a certain amount of “selling” may have to be done to ensure acceptance of its graduates.

Let me just start the sales pitch by re- minding you that in a world changingsocially and technologically at the rate we see today (or possibly faster?) we can certainly not justify education based on today’s skills. Instead we must devote our higher education to the cultivation of skills of thinking clearly, of communicating ideas clearly and precise- ly, of coordinating knowledge from various

sources and hopefully of engendering a pub- lic philosophy based on the highest ideals of human experience. AS I have tried so often to say to students...“Think of your educadon not for tomorrow’s job, but for life”, Per- haps Iroquois College or something like it can enable some of our young people to find that kind of educational motivation.

TORONTO--Warrendale: shock- ing but real.

dale--the controversial, radical are the combatants acting. They are completely honest. Anyone who has ever had anything to do with kids (such as in summer camps) willun- doubtedly recognize certain trends --but in the Warrendale children they would have been uncontrolled, ever-present and most difficult.

That is what this movie is able to accomplish in every moment of film.

‘Warrendale’ is a dramatic docu- mentary produced for CBC televi- sion by Patrick Watson. It won ac- colades at the Cannes international film festival in France recently.But the CBC refused to show it. It op- ened Tuesday for showing at the New York Theater in Toronto.

It is a movie about emotionally disturbed children. The introducr tion specifically stipulates that it is ‘,‘not a movie about technique”, but simply a visual and auditory record of the occurances at Warren-

treatment center run by social worr ker James Brown--during the pre sence of the film crew.

The children are not mentally re- tarded nor do they have any brain damage, but are just kids with oh problem--an inability to express their emotion: not hate, not live, not grief. When faced with emotion- al responsibility they become unable to react in a controllable way. This results in rnany feet of filmshowing one of Brown’s most controversial techniques: to keep violent children from hurting themselves or others s the staff hold the children tightly in their arms on the floor, and force them to talk, shout and scream out their problems--in words, not in’ physical violence.

But it is all very real. Nowhere

The much-talked-about cursing-- as the children release their pent- up emotions in words--is bound to offend staunch Victorians. But it is true-to-life and necessary.

Scenes approaching humor also occur several times throughout the film, but they never last long and always give way to much graver interludes.

Perhaps the overall fee&g of the movie is best summed up in the words of one ofthechildren: “Those deeper thoughts hurt too much.”

A child’s garden of Christianity The complete chronicles of Nar- nia by C. S. Lewis (Penguin, 7

volumes, $5.9‘5)

reviewed by Dale Martin Chevron review editor

It isn’t very often that one gets to rev&t one’s childhood, and when one does, an analytical approach often spoils it.

Such was the case With C.S. LeW- b’s ‘Complete chronicles of Nar- I-lid

The seven volumes of the chron- icle (all were published separately) tell the complete history of a uni- verse parallel to this and a land called Narnia inhabited by men, talking animals and all the mythi- cal creatures known to man. The

chief characters of the books are a group of English school children who are periodcially transported into this other world usually by the god of that world, the great golden lion Aslan.

At the age of 12 all this made very good reading, but I must con- fess that I was disturbed to find that these books try to be a primer of Christian thought. This is not sur- prising when one considers Lewis’s theological background but it is disappointing.

The first volume, “The lion, the witch and the wardrobe’, parallels the crucifixion af Christ quite nice- ly with a second coming thrown in.

The next four volumes have fairly

straightforward story lines. There are few morals to ‘PrinceCaspian’, ‘The voyage of the Dawn Treader’ ‘The silver chair’ and ‘The horse and his boy’. The latter is some- what objectionable since the ene- mies of Narnia, and worshippers of a god of evil are portrayed as b&g Moslem in culture. I don’t know if there was an intended slur but the result is not worthy of C. S. Lewis.

The last two books, ‘The magi- cian’s nephew* and ‘The last battle’ deal with, respectively, thecreation and end of Narnia. Both books are strajp?d and seem to be very hard on tilescientificmethodand atheists.

PerhUps it is possible for someone to read these books with pleasure.

Kay Britten, international folk songstress, will appear in the Theater of the Arts Thursday nightat 8. Admission to the concert is $1. Miss Britten adds dimension to her folk music through a high sense of drama and an extensive knowledge of folklore. Her English background is the reason for her par- ticular interest in British ballads (some bawdy), but this does not prevent her from possessing a broad repetoire of foreign songs. This concert is part of Summer Weekend.

After being endungeoned in medfeval old Waterloo for such an extended time, I had forgotten what progressive entertainment was like.

for demise of grade 13 versities are hmtiiig to other crit- eria as a basis for admissions, said registrar Trevor Boyes.

New aptitude and achievement tests are being prepared by the On- tario Institute for Studies in Educa- tion. This year the aptitude tests were given in January, while achievement tests in English com- positio11, math and physics were

given in April and May. However, results were submitted to the uni- versity too late to be used.

Instead the student’s grade-12 average, an estimated grade-13 standing, and theprincipal’s recom- mendation (based on performance during secondary school) wereused, said Boyes .

Highschool students already ac- cepted are being asked to write the grade-13 departmentals e A correl- ation between achievement and apti- tude-test results and grade-13 final results will then be made.

“We’re hoping we can process a larger portion of our freshman class in the spring,” said Boyes. “This enables us to have a better idea of who’s going to be here, how many classes we’re going to need,and how

many faculty people. It’s tied in with the whole university planning--ac- ademic and physical as well.”

In the past, no planning for the freshman class could be done be- fore the middle of August. Eventual- ly, up to 75 percent of the first- year class will be admitted before summer for the fall term.

It will take time to become ac- customed to the early admission method, said Boyes. Grade-13 stu- dents will have to make decisions regarding university early in the year. Schools must also become accustomed to submitting marks at an earlier date.

Selection methods used by the ti- versity as a basis for admissionare also being changed. Under the new system, the university will fallback on grade-13 results only when regu- lar methods indicate this must be done.

No discrimination against those without above-average marks will result. However, students in this situation will have to wait until grade-13 final results are out be- fore obtaining their admission st+- tLls.

More than 2,000 students are ex- pected to attend summer classes at Waterloo Lutheran.

Students are permitted to take two c&lit courses in arts during a summer session. The program is especially popular with teachers seeking to upgrade their qualifica- tions.

This week men have been bleeding and dying in the Sinai desert. The real reason for this has not been too obvious. The answer to the question why is to be found in a muddy little hell some 6,000 miles to the east.

The American involvement in Viet- nam is the key to the Middle East situa- tion.

For months the Soviet union has been under pressure to create a second front to divert American efforts from the bomb- ing of North Vietnam.

Russia’s European allies have shown signs. of discontent with the Soviet Union’s inability to stand up to the Americans. Mao’s China has b.een able to score points against their allies by labelling the Russians imperialist lackeys. The third world has quietly been turning away from the USSR.

Thus Russia came to supply Egypt with millions of dollars worth of mili- tary equipment and sent a considerable fleet into the Mediterranean. Russia

was ready to back up Egypt in any con- frontation that Egypt could manufacture with Israel.

A long, inconclusive Arab-Israeli war would have severely hampered the American war effort in Vietnam. Men and material would have been tied down in the eastern Mediterranean for possible intervention. Shutting the Suez Canal would cut off the Americans from oil and supply lines to the east would have been lengthened.

Unfortunately for the Russians, they failed to consider one factor: the Israelis.

The children of Israel, long spoiling for a war, took the golden opportunity afforded by the Egyptian blockade of the Gulf of Aqaba to destroy Egypt as a major military force in the Middle East.

Now the Russians will have to look elsewhere for ways to occupy the Americans.

Perhaps it is fitting that the Russians failed in trying to fight an unjust war by creating another unjust war.

Hello there’ all you sports fans, sweethearts and enemies a If I left anyone out’ please don’t feel ins ul ted. We loves you all, but some of you are the wrong color.

Guess what, peoples. We actually got a fan letter -- oi- something. It’s the first letter we’ve re- ceived that hasn’t in some shape or form called us an ass, so we sort of taok to this letter.

This letter come-s from our hard-working cor- respondent in Toronto. Said correspondent shall go unnamed beaus e said correspondent has dubious means of gathering his information. However we ‘Tuarantee said correspondent’s information is reliable because said correspondent is a reliable correspon- dent.

One piece of good news from said correspon- dent: Hank Monteith is definitely finished as a player with the University of Toronto Black and Blues.

One piece of bad news from said correspondent: Unless Don Fuller is not admitted to the law faculty (which “not” we all know is highly unlikely, since coaches at U of T seem to have a way with academic powers), said Monteith will be the only player not returning to said Black and Blues.

tlowever, such is this weary life. Let us re- sign ourselves to always being inferior (on paper) to the Blues. The only thing left for us to do is go out and beat the--ah, er--clunks.

Oh yeah, the Blues should have several A-l newcomers this year also. In the words of our fear- less correspondent (remember it was our fearless correspondent who said this, not us), “It looks bad for Don Hayes’ boys.”

For any baseball fans in the audience, the K-W Panthers play at home Sunday. They will be hosting Hamilton in that blunder called Centennial Stadium. It’s located behind the Kitchener Memorial Audi- torium.

So far, all the Waterloo students have been doing well with the Panthers. Bob McKillop, on the mound, won his first start of the year. First-baseman Ron Smith and right-fielder Saul (Willie Mays) Glober have also won regular positions with the team.

You can pick up a league schedule in the Feder- ation Building. Game time Sunday is 2 o’clock.

KINGSTON--The tension and ac- tivity do11g Toronto’s Gerrard street could hardly be milled one COILI evening last February. For hat night started the annual Can+ dian Winter Rally, a 1300-m& weekend jaunt by car through the rural roads of Ontario and Quebec. While crowds milled through a group of strange-looking imported cars over 100 crews, many making final ad justrnents to their vehicles, irn- patiently waited for their starting time to arrive.

Suddenly the attention shifted to a small Ford Anglia,--immaculately prepared--whose crew were strong- ly favoured for an overall win. F resh from victories in two previous Winter Rallies, t eamat es Paul Mac- Lennan and John Wilson passed un- der the starter’s flag at exactly 7:58 and shortly headed into the Ontario north.

For MacLennan, a 31-year old Toronto firefighter, this was the sixth consecutive attempt. He won the rally in 1962, ‘65, and ‘66*

Navigator Wilson, at 32, is a PhD specialist in computer science at the University of Waterloo. His five years of rallying includes a win in the famous (Shell) 4000, a trans.

Canada event cf World Championship status, and two recent wins in the Winter Rally. All three firsts were with MacLennan as driver, and ap- parently nothing would stop them from making it four in a row.

mere was little surpriselatethat night when MacLennan and Wilson reportedly checked in paalty-free to a coffee-stop at Rosseau, in the Mus koka Lakes l

But only an hour later heavy snow ona one-lane back- road packed under t.helittleAngti’s hood, jamming the radiator against the cooling fan. ,The Ford team’s leading crew dropped out of conten- tion.

To rally organisers, the retire- ment was just one of many expect- ed over the weekend. The route was planned to include some of the most challengfilg, and thus hazer- dous, roads in the province. Wash- outs and floods are frequent.

Hidden controls check that rally traffic is maintaining set average speeds within a minute’and penalise those that are early or late. The navigation is tricky and iedious,- a wrong turn or r.nis read instruction can put even the best crews out of the rally.

Wilson became interested in the sport in 1961, after graduatingfrom the University of Toronto in engin- eering physic-s’ and shortly joined the busy MG Car Club of Toronto. But he didn’t begin rallying with MacLennan until 1963, after Mac- Lennan had won the previous Winter Rally with Rod Dempsey. Since then they have rallied together with the Ford-sponsored Comstock Rally Team, where head mechanic Paul Cooke puts team cars into superb condition before the start of each event.

Of course, a team’s SUCCESS is

OdY aS good as its crew. When asked about his driver, Wilson’s trust and confidence in MacLennan is obvious.

“I don’t know what it is about Paul...he has a funny feeJ.ing for cars. He can look at a suspension

system and tell you exactly what it will do.

“During a particularly rough ral- ly, I asked him how he could drive at speed and still keep the car to- gether...He told me that he beat them scientifically.”

Most drivers will agree that there is an elusive limit to which a car

,, can be ‘pushed’, and many go even

teamate’s ability could hardly be

overlooked in any successful crew. One of the Shell 4000’s more notor- ious closed stages is a 27-mile twisting road in the Cascade moun- tains , where thousand-foot drops border the gravel. Crews are re- quired to drive this stage in the minimum possible time, and penalty points are assessed to all but the fastest car in each class.

Paramount is the ability to think logically under extreme pressure.

MacLennan testifies to Wilson’s ability to navigate through the tough- es t sections ’ with car bouncing wild- ly to come up with the right answers every time.

Despite the apparent danger, ral- lying knows few serious accidents. Most retirements are caused by mechanical breakdowns. The good record is explained in part by rigid safety inspections and the fact that crews can be disqualified for traf- fic violations.

Blind curves and changing road surfaces require great caution,-- few drivers with reckless attitudes ever become respected competitors. The cars themselves also play an important part,--only the best pos- sible equipment, including tires and brakes is fitted, along with extra guards and braces. It has been said that rally drivers are among the most competent on the road.

Equipment and instrumentation in a good rally car often resembles that in a large aircraft. Elaborate compK<ers, mileage counters, and clocks fill glove compartments and dash panels. Powerful driving lamps are carefully chosen. For time- keeping, Wilson uses a small hand- held calculator called a Curta, which operate-s much like a pepper-grin- der. Extra wheels, gas tanks and spare parts fill the remaining avafl- able space.

Wilson again led this year’s Shell Centennial rally from Vancouver to the Ontario border, where their luck changed drastically. First delayed, like most competitors, on a flooded road near Espanola’ they carried on only to lose time behind local traf- fic on narrow secondary roa.ds. Late that afternoon an unfortunate colli- sion--with a sandbank during the Camp Borden special stage--forced ’ a 500minute repair stop, with con- sequent penalty points 0 The Montre- al finish at Expo’s Autostade left them in fifth place.

“That’s what rallying is all a- bout,” Wilson said-afterwards. ‘We were in first place for six days and everything was going fine. Then the tide turned .”

Teamates Roger Clarke of Lon- don, England and Jim Peters of Rex- dale came from behind to take first place overall. They also drove a Ford-Lotus Cortina’ as part of the Comstock Team.

Despite it all, rallying is not with- out its humorous moments, Wilson recalls one story in particular that reached news reports on the 1966 Shell rally.

“We needd some sort of planfor the special stags,” he began, be- cause our fastest car would only add penalties to the other two cars on the team.”

As his plan went they, as lead car, would toss bags of coloured dye out the car windows at regular inter- vals during a special stage. Anear- lier meeting among the team sorted out details, and the foIlowing two cars would pace themselves accord- ingly. The first day the plan not only worked, but confused the opposition to such an extent that messages left for the team at time controls were beginning to dis appea r .

But next day was adifferent story. Sensing what was happeningcompet- ing crews gleefully plastered the route with dye bags of every colour and description, marking the trail clearly to helicopters flying over- head.

Expo 67 is a festival of man and his world - of art and music of films, of food, of computers and lasers and rockets - and of architecture. The pavilion of France (above) is like a sculljture of concrete, g/~l.ss, sfcel and aluminum. The theme of its displays is “tradition and invention”. Expo’s spectacular architecture, like worldfairs of the past, will influence building for years to come.

Canada’s People Tree (leftj is a three-storey stylized maple tree with leaves made up of hundreds of colored photographs of Canadians at work and play. Visitors to Expo can wander through its branches and learn how we live. Behind it, the Katimavik (an Eskimo word for gathering place), a huge upside- down pyramid, towers over theCanadian complex. There’s a spectacular view of all of Expo from its top.

2 EXPO EXTRA

The modern era of world’s fairs and world exhibitions began with the Great Exhibition of 1851, held in Hyde Park, London. Its resounding success precipitated such a spate of other exhibitions during the next 75 years that it finally becamenec- essary to set up aninternational au- thority to restore order and regulate the staging of world ations.

In 1928 the International Exhibi- tions Bureau was. established in Paris to define and enforce stand- ards governing such matters as the nature, timing and operation of in- ternational exhibitions.

There is a fundamentaldifference between a firs t-category world exhi- bition and a world’s fair. The IEB defines a fair as a marketplace where many producers have an op- portunity, generally at regular in- tervals, to offer samples of their goods. It has no stated educational aim, but exists principallytofacili- tate buying and selling.

On the other hand, the immediate aim of an exhibition is to demon- strate, through ori@nality af pre- sentation, the value and usefulness of the considerable number of ar- ticles assembled. Since many na- tions are involved # each providing its own ideas, this meeting and gather- ing of peoples serves to chronicle the contemporary era.

To regulate the frequ,ency of ex- hibitions, the IEB has divided the world into three zones--the Ameri- cas, Europeandtherest oftheworld. A first -category exhibition--where individual countries build their own pavilions--may be held only once in two years anywhere in theworld,

bitions to six months. There have been only twoprevious

first-category world exhibitions and both were held in Brussels, in1935 and again in 1958. Expo 6’7 has the distinction of introducing first-cat- egory exhibitions to the Americas

for the first time. Two recent international world

exhibitior?~ in the U.S. have felt the effects of the bureau’s power--the Century 21 exposition at Seattle in 1958 and the New York fair in1964-- 65. Seattle was recognized as a sec- ond-category universal general ex- hibition but New York did not have the bureau’s sanction.

A month after Canada received the IEB’s authorization &J 1962, Parlia- ment passed anact establishingthe Canadian Corporation for the 1967 World Exhibition to organize and manage Expo 6’7,

An offer .by the city of Montreal to act as host was accepted, and a unique site was chosen for the ex- hibition, centering around historic Ile Sainte-H&l&e in the St. Law- rence River, opposite the Montreal harbor. At this point the St. Law- rence is a mile wideand 1,000 miles from the Atlantic. The island, a playground for Montrealers for generations, was named in 1611 by the explorer Samuel de Champlain for his wife, Ha&e Boulle’.

To the right of the site looking downstream is the St. Lawrence Sea- way, leading to the heart of North America. To the left is the busy Montreal harbor, thelargest inland port in the world. And beyond the harbor .sprawls the city of Montreal, Canada’s largest metropolis--and the second largest F rench-sp&ing city in the world--with its backdrop of historic Mount Royal from which it takes its name. The hub of Can- ada’s transportation sys terns, Mon- treal is ideally accessible by land, sea and air.

To be a man: taking a hand in building the world A Picasso picture,afuturisticau-

tomobile, an underwaterhouse, apo- lar city, a dazzling film extrava- ganza, a Grecian column, an ‘ad, vanced breed of cow--the scope of EXPO'S theme pavilions is all encompassing.

From the primitive huts of Neoli- thic man to the supercity of the21st century, man’s world--past, present and future--is on view in Montreal.

Expo’s theme pavilions trans- cend national frontiers e and even space and time, to present the ex- hibition’s thae, “Man and his world.” The theme buildings, cost- ing an estimated $40,000,000, com- bine drama and serenity, fear and hope, and areoverpoweringineffect.

Nothing less than the universal man is on show.

Exhibits reveal what he has done with the atom, electronics, with his land and cities s and what he has done and probably will do with himself.

Expo 67’s central unifying theme, “Man and his world”, was inspired by the title of the book ‘Terre des hommes’ (published in English as ‘Wind, sand and Stars’bytheFrench author, poet and aviator, Antoine de Saint-Exup&y . The underlying phil- osophy of this work, and of Expo’s theme, is summed up inapassagein which Saint-Exup&y wrote:

“To be a man is to have the con- viction that when one lays a brick, one is taking a hand in building the world.”

In developing ,this theme and translating it into tangible form Expo presents not merely a static commemoration of man andhis ach- ievements, but rather a dynamic portrait of man in action. “Man and his world” tells the story of man’s

hopes and aspirations, his ideas and endeavors. Thefocus shifts from ri- valri es between nations to the inter- dependence of men of all nations. The exhibition uses the mos t modem display techniques to dramatize man’s achievements in the realms of ideas, culture and science. And al- ways the emphasis is on the com- mon bonds uniting the peoples of the world rather than on the differences , real or artificial, that tend to sep- arate them.

Expo’s official symbol is a visual expression of the theme. The basic motif of the emblem is the ancient and universal graphic sign for wor- shipping man--a vertical line with outstretched arms. These signs are linked in pairs to represent brother- hood and friendship and joined in a circle to syrnbolize the Exhibition’s theme: “Man and his world”.

More than 20 acres aresetaside, for theme pavilions in which the

“Man and his world” concept is developed:

--Man the Creator --Man in the Community --Man the Explorer

1 --Man the Producer --Man the Provider Man the Provider, the largest

single exhibit at Expo, uses seven and a half acres to demonstrate the techniques and the problems of food production and distribution in a world largely underfed and increaS- ingly crowded. As part of the exhibit, crops will be grown and harvested during the exhibition on a central ‘%un acre”. The buildings contain sections on soils, crops, mechan- ization, cross-breeding, farm man- agement and marketing.

A fully mechanized modern dairy and a modern egg-producing plant, the improvement of herds by cross- breeding, and animal-disease con- trol are only a few highlights of the innumerable agricultural exhibits.

As an adjunct to the theme pavfl- ions, the DuPont of Canada Auditor- ium has science lectures, symposia and films elaborating on the theme exhibits throughout the entire 26 weeks of Expo.

Two other projects at Expo are closely associated with the theme:

the National FilmBoard’s Labyrinth and the intriguing housing complex, Habitat 67.

All national and private partici- pants in the Exhibition are relating their presentations to aspects of

the central theme--ranging from Greece’s “Man is the measure of all” to Scandinavia’s “Man in Llnity “, from South Korea’s “The hand of man*’ to the Soviet Union’s “Everything in the name of man for the good of man”.

Expo’s central theme, ‘Man and his world”, is developed especially in the four great theme pavilions. Don’t miss them if your time is limited. If you have several days, start each day witha theme pavilion. This is the best way to keep in mind just what Expo’s supposed to be all about. Man the Explorer, above, reviews man’s learning about his planet, his solar system and his own body. It features actual clinics with open - heart surgery and brain surgery.

Lineups are not too common on ordinary days except at the most popular pavilions - Reservexpo, a free, computerized service, is a way to avoid lines. It’s availableat the American and the Russian. When lines do form, Expo sends a band of roving musicians or clowns to keep you entertained - such as the Mexican band at right.

you stay at a place with cooking facilities , this is no problem.

Then starve yourself all day. When you pass snack bars, look the other way. It’s surprising how much money a strong wffl can save you. Or pack a picniclunch. Tables and grassy areas abound at Expo’s huge site.

During your day, watch for rest- aurants in your price range. All eating places are required to post their prices on the outside--and the offMa guide book &tAfie~~ restaurants according toprice. Plan on treating yourself to a good meal in the early evening. Around seven 0 ‘dock the lineups are gone.

Restaurants abound in La Ronde. Each has its own distinctive decor and atmosphere--and a wide choice of entertainment as well. Many national pavilions serve character- istic foods in their restaurant areas as well. The restaurants at Place des Nations serve thefood of differ- ent countries on their national days.

011 Expo’s thousand-acre site there are over 80 pavilions and un- less you have almost unlimited time it is impossible to see everything. SO you must pick and choose in ad- vance which you want to visit.

Before you leave for Montreal and the big fair, pick up a copy of the official guidebook. It’s available for $1 at most bookstores and depart- ment stores . In it you’ll find des- criptions of all the exhibits on the site, an entertainment calendar, a restaurant guide and other helpful information.

Among the national pavilions, no visitor can afford to miss Canada’s. Situated on Ile Notre-Dame, the complex is dominated by a huge in- verted pyramid--called Katima-

vik, an Eskimo word meaning “ga- thering place”.

The huge geodesic dome of the United States pavilion is another must for the visitor. The theme “Creative America” is carried through the exhibits which include spacecraft, folklore items and a fascinating cinema section with giant photos of some of the movie greats.

Don? expect to see anything really typically American except maybe the Marine guards. The U.S. has res- tricted its pavilion to one area of “Man and his world’* and have suc- ceeded in creating a truly fascinat- ing exhibit. The U.S. exhibits are few, but huge in size--chosen es- pecially to fit the wide-openspaces atmosphere of the dome.

The giant three-dimensional Un- ion Jack topping the 200-foot tower of the British pavilion marks ano- ther exhibit which should be includ- ed in any tour of Expo,

The interior of this pavilion is divided into five sections, each de- picting some stage of British de- velopment.

The last of these, ‘Britain to- day”, begins with the archetype of

a British family. Then, in a tele- vision-studio setting, miniskirts, the world of pop and mod, there’s

L “We’re not really like that n arewe?”

The Soviet Union’s huge pavilion was rather disappointing. TheRus- sians seemed to get carried away with their new technology. If you enjoy lasers, spectroscopes, oil rigs and other technical items you will like the Russian exhibits. One in- teresting thing there was the space display, and simulated flight to the moon.

When you get tired of walking, plan a visit to the Australian pavilion. The glass-walled building is carp- eted in thick natural wool. Around the room are comfortable over- stuffed chairs. The chairs talk to you about Australia--through a built-in stereo sound system acti- vated when you sit down, The host- esses have been instructed to wake visitors who fall asleep, but they seem to be rather lax in this part of their job.

The western provinces--Manito- ba, Saskatchewan, Alberta and Bri- tish Colurnbia--havedonethemselv- es proud with their conical pavilion. Inside, the resources of the West are realistically presented through pictures, sound effects and odors . gi;.Ngi, he day we vi.&& the

Among the pavilions sponsored by private organizations, the telephone exhibit with a 360-degree film pro- duced by Walt Disney is outstanding.

‘Creative America” is the theme of the U.S. exhibit. A display of hundreds of dolls helps to illustrate American inventiveness.

All pavilions free with your passport

Expo admission tickets are called “passports .” There are three kinds of passports--daily, seven-day and season. You might have purchased yours in advance at a discount. Many banks, department stores or travel agents are still selling their remaining stock at the discounted price.

Special rates for children and

youths are also available on the se- ven-day and season passports.

Expo passports will entitle vis- itors to free admission to all pavil- ions. They also include free rides over the site on the Expo Express, which stops in each of the principal areas. Secondary transportation-0 minirail, tractor train, pedicabs--is available at nominal cost within each area.

Architecture is frozen music, said a German philosopher. Buildings at Expo reflect everything from ancient Oriental melodies - Thailand’s traditional design,’ for example (right) - to the latest innovations in electronic music, such as Air Canada’s sweeping cantilever design which seeks to express the spirit of flight.

What will Expo 67 be remembered for in history? by Jim Nagel

E xpo lasts only six months. But *if it follows in the footsteps of the great fairs of the past, its influences will continue for an- other century at least.

Medieval fairs, where international hos- tilities were forgotten long enough to ex- change goods, played a great role in estab- lishing standard weights and measures and business practices. .

AS early as 1753 -and 1791, industrial fairs in western Europe had enormous effect on the arts and cultures of participating countries.

The first world exhibition in the modern sense was the pet project of Prince Albert, Queen Victoria’s consort, held in London in 1851. Its ,famous Crystal Palace, an intri- cate prefabricated network of slender iron rods supporting walls of clear glass, had a

profound effect on the architecture of the next generation. Glass and steel became common in the construction of everyday buildings.

When the Crystal Palace was destroyed by fire in 1936, it marked the end of an era.

The world exhibition held in Philadelphia in 1876 , celebrating the U.S. Centennial, helped introduce the simplicity of Japanese interior decoration into America.

.

I

The Eiffd Tower, the symbol of the Paris exhibition in 1889, had an effect similar to the C rys ta1 Palace on architectural concepts. Over 1,000 feet high, it introduced a new art in building a new architecture anddecorative art. Structural steel has playedanimportant role in all major buildings since then.

And of course theEiffel Tower has become synonomous with Paris. All a movie producer has to do to clue in his audience that the

6 EXPO EXTRA.

scene has shifted to Paris is toputa glimpse of the Eiffel Tower in the background.

The World’s Columbian Exhibition--the Chicago fair of 1893 celebradngthe4OOth an- niversary of Columbus discovering Amer- ica--featured a daring new amusement ride: the Ferris wheel. Named after engineer George Washington Ferris, the great wheel was 250 feet in diameter. Each of its 36 cars carried 40 passengers.

And the visitor to this exhibition found another dazzling wonder: electricity. It was also here that the U.S. enthusiasm for col- umns on buildings began.

The Pan-American exposition at Buffalo, New York, in 1901 again featured electricity. Niagara Falls, the source of the power, were illuminated with colored searchlights. It was while attending a music concert at this fair that President McKinley was tragi- cally assassinated.

Remember the tune ‘Takeme to St. Louis- Louis ; take me to the fair’? That was the theme of the Lousiana Purchase Exhibition held in 1904 in St. Louis, Missouri. The crowning jewel of this fair was a display of 100 automobiles, the largest number ever before seen in one place.

And it was at the St. Louis fair, one hot summer afternoon, when the icecream cone was invented. The owner of a waffle stand got the bright idea of folding his waffles into cones and putting something cold into them.

The Panama-Pacific fair, held in 1915 in San Francisco to celebrate the opening of the Panama Canal, was the first exposition where the public could take air-plane rides or see motion pictures.

The Century of Progress Exhibition in Chicago in 1933-34 helped move U.S. de-

signers out of traditional molds and into more modern forms--simple lines) integra- ted landscaping, windowless buildings, uni- form lighting, air-conditioning. .

The Brussels exhibitions of 1935 and 1958 were the only two first-category uni- versal expositions ever held until Expo 67 this year. Both of these fairs were living demonstrations of city planning.

What will be Expo’s most important con- tribution to the future?

a Expo’s use of movies is far advanced. One movie at the great fair--in thetelephone pavilion--completely surrounds you. You are right in the center of the action. On many other movie screens at Expo you are watching several pictures simultaneously . In Ontario’s excellent film, for example, the wide screen is chopped into as many as 15 separate, but related, pictures.

l Architects in general, in the tradition of world exhibitions of the past, have had a field-day at Expo. This has beenan oppor- tunity. for the world’s greatest architects to test novel and way-out ideas. One great Austrian architect called Expo “the most exciting collection of buildings I have ever Seen.” Our cities soon may sport buildings more imaginative, less drab, because of the ideas tested on the Montreal island.

0 Some feel that Habitat, the futuristic housing complex, will pave the way for inex- pensive mass-produced living units to help solve the world’s shortage of housing.

Habitat is an imaginative suggestion for the problems of modern cities. On the one hand it is compact--many people can live in a small area of land--and would help pre- serve rich farmlands from the urbansprawl.

On the other hand,ithasavisual interest that today’s antisepdc apartment towers lack.

Or Expo may profoundly affect city plar&ing in the future. To prevent visual chaos, Expo’s designers insisted that things like water fountains, light standards, waste cans s benches, phone booth&and above all, ’ signs--should all conform to a harmonious and elegant overall design. The result is that there is no garish jangle of neon signs, ugly trashcans, overhead wires.

The signs are quiet and polite to your eyes. They’re easy to see,-but they-stay tactfully in the background until you want them. The Expo corporation’s official de- sign manual insists that all signs and print- ed matter be bilingual--or better yet, in symbols instead of words -*and lettered in a modernistic typeface called &rivers. This is what it looks like:

Terre des hommes ’

And you’ll see triangles all over at Expo. This seems to be the basic unifying theme the designers havechosenfor thelittleneces- sities of urban life--such as street furni- ture--and above all in the great theme pa- vilions. But you’ll have to be perceptive to see them, because the triangle theme is un- obtrusive.

0 For a start, anyway, Expo 67 has made a deep mark on the next first-category world exposition--to be held in Osaka, Japan, in 1970. The Japanese fair officials liked the name, and have decided to call their show Ex- po 70. You11 see their advertising at Mon- treal.

La Ronde has the greatest collection of thrill-and-chill rides ever to challenge the toughest of tummies. Expo’s planners visited every major amusement park in the world - from Disneyland to Copenhagen% Tivoli - and outdid them all. Most rides cost children 25~, adults 35.

Pavilion specially for youth . is both fun and challenging

What are the effects of this 1967 world on youth? How does youth react to it? What does youth want to do with it?

This is the challenge of Expo’s youth pavilion in La Ronde, airned at the 15-to-30 age group.

In the theme area of the pavilion, the world’s billion young people tell you who they are, what moves them and what they do. It’s up to you to judge the future they are shaping now.

The activity sector takes up the

other half of the pavilion. There’s a theater, a snack bar, radio and

TV studios broadcasting live every day, sports, an amateur film fest- ival, music (jazz, classical and pop), variety shows, panels and lectures, fine arts and at night a discothkpe.

It’s a place for the young of the world to meet and exchange points of view --whether in casual chats or fierce debates doesn’t mat- ter: it’s the challenge that’s im- portant.

When Expo’s pavilions close at 9:30 each night, La Ronde becomes a magnet attracting foot-weary visitors in search of relaxation as well as fun. La Ronde, Expojs top-quality amusement area, is open from 9:30 a.m. till 230 a.m. every day. There’s entertainment galore, rides and thrills, a variety of shows, cabaret night life, adventure in good eating and shopping, lots of take- it-easy space.

You’ll enioy La Ronde: Eipo tops Disneyland

There’s fun and relaxation for everyone from toddlers to great- grandmothers as Expo’s La Ronde brings a new dimension to world- exhibition amusement areas.

Since La Ronde will become a permanent amusement park after Expo, the Montreal fair could cre- ate a high-quality family amusement area rather than the carneyatmos- pher e the temporary nature of exhi- bition amusement areas usually brings. For example, a glorified world-of-tomorrow thrill ride cost- ing $3 million, suchasExpo’s Gyro- tron, would not be feasible for one six-month period.

La Ronde is not long-hair--not by any means. It features rides . . . games ;..spectacles. You can still be thrilled, amazed or entertained.

However, when someone men- tions the F rench-Canadian Village,

it means a whole area, where all activities and even boutiques are housed in authentic stone buildings hand-built by stonemasons--not some cheap effect created by paint- ing a few trees on thefrontof a can- vas tent.

La Ronde is a unique blending of entertainment, thrilling rides, good eating, cabaret nightlife and bou- tiques from the four corners of the earth with ample facilities for relax- ation. It caters to varied tastes in entertainment and different age groups and the overall effect is dis- tinctly Canadian.

Such highlights as the City of Montreal Aquarium andAlcanDol= phin Pool, the Children’s World, the Youth Pavilion, the Internation- al Carrefour, the Marina, the Gar- den of Stars, Dolphin Lake and spe- cial rides such as the Gyrotron,Sky

Fort Edmonton brings the exciting days of the old Canadian West to La Ronde. The Gold Rush atmmphere lives again in action-packed sa- loons, general stores, barbershops and the Royal North-West Mounted Police cells. The Golden Garter Saloon (above) has Flora Dora girls. singing waiters, banjo players, cCstampede” sandwiches and beer served from the barrel. The Wake-up- Jake Saloon has f lapjacks and sourdough.

Ride, La Spirale and theFlumeRide will all attract their own enthusias- tic crowds.

The universitality of the area is perhaps best typified by the Garden of Stars, which is an all-purpose entertainment center. \The center’s full schedule of entertainment cat- ers at different hours during the day to children and teenagers, and in the evening to adults. It is de- signed so that it can be converted from a straight theater toamodest- ly-priced nightclub in a matter of minutes.

Most of thedistinctive restaurants and rest areas on La Ronde are situated so that visitors, in the mood to take it easy, can watch the activities on Dolphin Lake.

This lake, 1,000 feet long, 700 feet wide and 40 feet deep, is the scene of continuing ’ attractions. There are spectacular water-skiing exhibitions and precision boat shows several times a day, fireworks dis- plays every midnight and Dancing Waters, sponsored by Westing- house, which has been especially designed and built for Expo. It is the largest and most complex unit ever conceived with more than 1,000 different fountain effects set tomus- ic and enhanced by colored lighting, all controlled from a giant console.

Whether you are riding an ostrich in the tropical jungles of the Safari area, transported to a dream world in the Latema h&q&a fromczech- oslovakfa, testing your nerves on EX~O’S top collection of thrill rides from around the world, trying your luck in the skill games area, or just watching the preschool set scream- ing with delight on the scaled-down rides of the Children’s World, you’ll find your kfnd of fun in La Ronde.

C&‘S huge pavilion at Expo se- dimst a mirror image of the c0umy itself. Like Canada it appears to have grown quickly and rather haphazardly. but is all the more interesting because of this.

It’s the biggest and mat e.xFen- sive of all the pavilions at Expo. Dominating the canpl~ is a gigan- tic inverted pyramid called the Kat- imavik--Eskimo for gathering place.

A rather dubious explanation is given for the existence of the Kat- imavik. Apparently all of thepavil- ion had been planned except the main focal point. One evening a clean- ing lady left an ashtray on a part- ially completed model of the build- ings . When the designers saw it they were convinced this was exact- ly the shape they were.looking for.

There is an observation platform around the top which provides the best overall view of the Expo site.

The People Tree is a large tree- like structure with 1,500 ‘leaves’* printed with photographs of Canad- ians at work and play. Visitors can walk up stairs and see all of the photos. lbe overall effect is a series of casual snapshots of the life of Canadians.

An outdoor bandshell presents folksingers, jazz groups, orchestras and fashion shows, Daily perform- ances of Les F eux Follets , a Canad- ian folkdance group, are featured in the Indoor theatre.

The art-gallery section of the Canadian complex features a display of 40 photographic portraits by Karsh of Ottawa as wellas graphics, WatercolorsandCanadianfinecraf~.

The film in the Canadian pavilion is rather different. The audience moves from section to section on a large turntable. Thefivedifferent films deal with history-pioneer life, Confederation, development after

Confederation and modern Canada. The resources area of the ex-

hibit demonstrates how Canadahar- nessed her energy and fed herself. The transportation and cornmunica- tions area shows how goods and people are moved in our vast land.

In the changing-times area the visitor is confronted with the cbal- lenges of today and tomorrow.

,The Canadian pavilion is also the headquarters for the IBM computers which provide many automatic ser- vices on the Expo site. Here you can talk to the computer directly and even argue with it about polit- ical questions.

“Two restaurants and two snack bars in the pavilion complexprovide typically Canadian meals and re- freshments,” says the guidebook. The hotdogs and sandwiches and all that kind of thing may be. But let’s hope visitors don’t think what La Toundra (the tundra) serves is typically Canadian--buffalo steak and iklaluk (Arctic char). On the other hand, maybe if we tried it we’d l&e it.

Outside, U!& a two-headed 30- foot monster, rises from a lagoon once an hour. breathing fire and smoke. On another lagoon, radio- controlled model ships give a fas- cinating display of Canada’s coast guard. Now and then some wild ducks, who’ve decided they like Expo and Expo visitors* handouts. join in the naval show.

It’s difficult to see how a visitor could get a good look at our huge pavilion in less than three hours. It would be best to set aside the better part of a day to seeCanada on display.

Complementing the exhibit build- ings are the Sanctuary, a non-de- nominational place of meditation and the Children’s Creative Center. a place for directed play for children aged six to eleven.

TheCanadian and provincial pavilions are concentrated at the south end of Ile Notre-Dame with acres and acres of lagoons andpicnic grounds behind them. A corner of the Quebec pavilion is at lower left, and Ontario’s multipeaked white roofline behind it. The sprawling Canadian pavilion and its outdoor bandshell dommate the picture, with the St. Lawrence and Montreal’s skyime in the back&x

The blue minirail takes you on a leisurely four-mile trip around, through and under much of Expo. It’s just emerging from a corner of the Ontario pavilion, where you’ll see Ontario in a way you never thought of it before. Ontario has one of the best films and some of the best restaurants at Expo.

Rough-hewn granite blocks, K-foot evergreen trees and two lagoons provide an authentic setting.

That’s what the theme song of the film in the Ontario pavilion has to say. The l’l-minute, multi- image filmhas received ravenotices from reviewers around tie world.

By combining as many as 15 separate images on the screen at one time, the director has created an exciting impression of Ontario. And he solves theproblemofbiling- ualism by using only movies and music--no commentary at all.
