ARDS SYSTEM WHAT NOW? THOUGHTS UPON GRADUATING

For most of us there is an inner feeling that the indi- vidual condition of each of us is tragic; as individuals we feel an isolation and separateness from the rest of the world. We are alone, our innermost problems seem unique and distinctive to us alone, we live alone, we die alone. Occasionally we man- age to escape from this solitariness through love for someone, or through creative achievements; but mainly our life is a long lonely dark road. Religion may afford some relief from this terrible loneliness, I don’t know. But for’ most people, how- ever effervescent they are, this sense of the tragic con- dition of each of them is part of the burden of their lives.

Among Scientists and En- gineers, even though they recognize this tragic con- dition of the individual, there has always been a refusal to accept what might be called the tragic condition of society in general. Each of us in an individual, each of us dies alone, this is inevitable and we cannot escape it: however one thing we can alter and change in our fate, one thing that is not inevitable, is the general condition of society. We are something less than

’ human if we do not struggle against it.

For example, most of our fellow humans are underfed and die before their time. Blunty spoken, that is the social condition. Our insight into man’s individual lone- liness tempts us to accept this social condition, and to let the rest of humanity go hungry. Engineers generally fall into this trap of com- placency less than other peo- ple, though they are more inclined to be impatient to see if something can be done. ,And due to their training they are generally inclined to think that something can be done, unless it is proven otherwise. This attitude am- ong the Engineers is real optimism, real hope for the future. For so far no one has ever proven that the major- ity of humanity must go hungry, must die before their time.

This spirit, this’tough and good natured determination

to fight it out at the side of their brother men has always been a characteristic trait of a scientific education. This is the same spirit that built North America into what it is today, this same spirit can now build up the rest of the world. It is not sufficient to wait to be called as some member of an organization to help in the development of other countries; this should be an individual quest. What is a year or even two years from a lifetime, when it can have such an impact and be such a help to the lives of people in these undeveloped lands?

It is no particular achieve- ment to be sent as an En- gineer to work on a develop- ment scheme of some branch plant in a foreign land. It is quite an achievement though to go as an individual with an Engineering training and bv vour own efforts help peo$e to help themselves. Then your success of failure depends upon your own char- acter, your own ability, your own resourcefulness in meet- ing and solving the problems that are thrown at you. Your reward is not dollars and cents, but in human lives. And your ability is that much greater because of your own increased confi- dence in yourself and your own resources. In a world that is becoming more and more one of the organization man, this is an opportunity to stand and prove yourself as an individual.

For Waterloo graduates, this is an opportunity which cannot be matched by any other University in Canada. You graduate with pract&al experience behind you. Be- cause of this you can make a significant contribution in some foreign field. Now is the time to investigate the opportunities and possibili- ties in this field, to see what needs, you can best fulfill. But as private individuals, not as part of some faceless bureaucracy, offer to help on your ,own in a foreign land. What is a year off your life, when it can mean the very lives of your fellow human beings?

UNIONS DEFENDED The writer of the article

?ntitled, “How Low a Un- ion” should be more than pleased that, the efforts of “spiteful union bosses” not- withstanding, the “spirit of the whole aff air”was not suffi- ciently dampened to prevent the raising of $25,000 for the therapeutic swimming pool.

If the writer thought that the “cause” of the union bosses was to deprive crip- pled children, his narrow- mindedness is surpassed only by his ignorance. If the Union had relaxed its stand for the Crippled Children’s benefit, what’s to prevent the management of the Royal York from inviting every committee in the Province of Ontario to hold benefits in their hotel?

Does the writer think that the management allows the holding of benefits at their hotel out of the goodness of their hearts? Outside of the publicity value involved, these “benefits” benefit the management as well as the intended beneficiaries.

Let the writer ask himself this: Having travelled a great distance to pay $25 a plate for an evening banquet, what do these celebrities do after the banquet is over? Tear around Toronto looking for another hotel and cocktail bar when they’re already in a nice, warm, commodious hotel? Does the writer think the money spent at the Royal York on hotel accom- modations went to help the poor crippled children?

Let the writer, with his ready capacity for sympathy, go to the Royal York one of these sub-zero evenings and take a look at the pickets marching outside. I don’t think he will see any “spite- ful union bosses” standing over them cracking whips.

When the crippled children need a therapeutic swimming pool, people rise up to give generously of their time and money. Where is the sym-

university students have em- erged as the latest assailants on the Ontario Agricultural College grounds. Nineteen of the Yorkers showed up at OA - VC - MAC recently to carry off an ancient cannon. The cherished possession is a relic of Canada’s past.

Despite efforts of the 19 with block, tackle and truck, the two ton cannon stayed put. OAC Security Police didn’t stay put however. They broke up the attempt, roused the OAC Dean of Men. Dean Ian White and negotiated the release of the attackers with York officials, at the same time, keeping the incident quiet to revent OAC retaliation on e ark.

On Tuesday night, the Students’ Council discussed the idea of an awards system, whereby students would be recognized for their partici- pation in student govern- ment and related activities. At this point, there arose the question, “What are #the boundaries of student gov- ernment and related acti- vities?” Rather than becom- ing entangled in an argument of such proportions, it was decided that an awards com- mittee be set up. Nick Hath- away was appointed chair- man of this committee, the members of which will be chosen at the discretion of said chairman.

The details of this award system are not available at this ‘time but it is reasonably safe to assume that such awards will take the form of a gold pin with the school crest or some other appro- priate token.

This account may strike you as being rather vague, but the system itself is still in its very formative, hence very vague stages. What is becoming concrete however, is the fact that some people oppose the idea of awards while others are in favour of it. Some maintain that aw-

ards of this nature smack too much of the high school, and, that immature status symbols have no place in University. It has $1~0 been said that-the whole business of awards has been brought up- to satisfy the ego maniacs on campus. The other side has its views too: a system of awards will provide some tangible incentive for further participation in extra cur- ricular activities and this in itself, if successful will fully justify an awards system, the award itself is a tangible proof of achievement and in this regard it is really no different than a scholarship or an athletic jacket.

I am sure Nick Hathaway will welcome any construc- tive suggestions which will aid him and his committee in this difficult but worth- while undertaking. The fruits of such a system will give you added direction in your leis- ure hours as well as providing you with enough incentive to weld this campus intosome- thing meaningful in the field of student government ’ and student activities. The sys- tem will foster competition and competition will foster excellence.

BORED OF PUBS - Hamilton (CUP) - A

suppressed story, now brought to light, has shown that the McMaster universi- ty administration has had to back down on penalties im- posed on students for an illicit pre-Christmas party.

Rumours, emanating from Hamilton during January, were confirmed this week.

Fines fo ‘$100 each had been imposed by the admini- stration on nine members of the Board of Publications for a party held in the publications office at the end of the last term. Following an appeal, the fines were reduced to $25 for five of the publications officers and were dismissed for the other four.

(The Board of Publica- tions is an autonomous stu- dent group which regulates the student publications).

At McMaster the story has been common knowledge among the students, but the story was never printed in the campus paper.

Silhouette Editor-in-Chief David Hitchcock indicated that he had been pressured not to publish the story, but added that he was not es- pecially in favour of carrying it anyway.

Board of Publications Chairman Robert McGowan threatened withdrawal of the paper from the Canadian University Press if the story were published.

The party, which had been augmented by alcoholic bev-

erages according to students, had been held after the first term was officially over. Damage to university build- ings had occurred on the same night and this had originally been linked with the board party. It was later found there was no relation- ship.

No official ‘comment was available from university offi- cials on the matter. Dean P. R. Clifford, dean of men, said he wouldn’t comment because members of the BOP had asked him not to make a statement. ’

It was reported that the university felt that an exam- ple had to be set and estab- lished the penalties for two reasons: forholding the party without ,authorization, and for having alcohol on the premises.

The university’s actions were decried in a two-page broadsheet published by the ‘Joe Noon Society’, an anon- ymous group of students who claimed dedication to pre- serving freedom. The mimeo- graphed sheets suggested that a fund be established to pay the fines for the con- victed students.

An unofficial report alleged that the fines had been set at $100 each in the expecta- tion that all students involv- ed in the affair would con- tribute. This, however, didn’t work out, stated the inform- ant. ‘Everybody scattered when the Anes became known’

n n n ho Help Themselves” We in Canada pride ourselves in having no racial prob-

lems, no insurmountable sociological problems and everyone who is employed tends to regard his country as the gentile equivalent of the land of milk and honey. There are a few dissenters, probably unemployed malcontents, who are maintaining that the noble redman is getting a rather raw deal from the government.

“We have taken away the Indians’ pride, we have made it difficult for him to follow his former way of life and we have relegated him to the place of a second class citizen. We have done all these things and in return we have not even offered something of value in their place.” We hope it is agreed that the preceding was an extremist’s view= We feel that the government extends a great deal of help to those Indians who want’ to be helped. Some Indians, whose standard of living appears to be much lower than the average white man’s standard, simply do not want to adjust to a new system and consequently, we regard them as just so many charity eases.

The Indian saw this breeze coming for many years, but many, instead of trying to bend with it, stuck to the old ways and consequently, they broke. Obdurate pride is at the bottom of man’s greatest mistakes.

If you have any contribu- tions please given them to Leo Johnson or Sandra San- ders or leave them in the mail-box in. the Physics Building under the “J”.

Don’t leave this to a few people. It’s up to everyone on campus to see that this magazine is a success. If you don’t write yourself get after those who do.

ETTERS TO THE EDITOR

As for your reference to

le death penalty or long rison terms being a deter- nt, to crime of this sort, I !fer you to Barnes and eeters in their text entitled, New Horizons in Crimin- .Ogf ‘. I quote from the !xt, “Insistence upon a re- ressive philosophy is out- laded. Correctional history 2s demonstrated that where unishments are severe and rison sentences long, crime creases.” The prison sentence at

?st only takes the offender It of circulation for a while nd if the sentence is too lng, the offender., when he turns to society, is a greater lenace than before he was nprisoned. As for the above mention-

I * * * * Question: What do you think of the proposed University

name change? i* * *’ *

Answer: On the one hand, some people mix up the name of the University of Waterloo with that of Waterloo Lutheran University.

On the other hand, across Canada everyone associates “Waterloo” with Co-operative Education. This association will be difficult to replace because of the impetus it received from free publicity due to the novelty of Co-operative ~Engineering and the administration’s fiery political strife.

Also, we had our name before they had theirs, although this is a very poor argument.

The disadvantages of a name change outweigh the advantages. We should remain the University of Waterloo.

J. A. Kovaes * * * *

Even though I do not like the idea of changing the name of our University I feel that a great deal of confusion does exist at this time between the names University of Waterloo and Waterloo University College and Waterloo Lutheran ,University. It has been suggested that the University of Waterloo has a tradition associated with its name. I disagree and say that since we have no tradition let us change our name now and give tradition a chance to grow without the present confusion that is associated with the name Waterloo. The Board of Governors of this University are fond of our ‘reputation, as well, since they in the main are responsible for its cultivation. This being the ease, it is best that they choose a suitable name now rather than in a few years. IThe confusion that reigns now will be multiplied many times iby then. The present confusion which would be derived ,from a name change would be temporary and once an iestablishment is made our tradition will grow unhindered by confusion.

Herb Alexander, 4A’ Mech.

* * * * “The University of Waterloo” - “Waterloo University

College” - Do you know the difference between these two names? Yes, because you attend one of these institutions. Whenever a name change is suggested for our university there are those who say, “Let’s keep our name. We know there is confusion now but in ten years OUR school will be much bigger than the other one in Waterloo and much more well-known.” But will it? After five years there are many people in the Twin Cities who still don’t realize there are two schools. How can we expect anyone who lives any distance from here to appreciate the true situation?

Last week this paper, in taking a stand on the issue, stated, “From observation, we know that consensus on this campus, is, that the name of this University should not be changed.” To my knowledge a vote or an opinion poll has not been taken. Where does the paper get such definite knowledge concerning the opinion of this campus?

What is in the name Waterloo that makes it so precious to keep? We are not interested in making the city of Waterloo famous but we do want to make our University known. Let’s give it a chance by giving it a distinctive name. I have two suggestions - Mackenzie King University or Laurel University.

‘The Indonesian firecracker bears watching because there appears to be a number of idiots running around with matches. Russia is training six hundred little Indonesians in hope that they will be able to man a cruiser by April or May. Sukarno has an army, he has an airforce, but his navy ranges from tramp steamers to yachts to dugouts. Personally, it would give me the greatest pleasure to see a small but highly-trained Dutch force stop Sukarno and his Russian -cruiser - cold! Rumour has it that the Dutch, in expectation of taking many prisoners, have set up a series of P..O.W. camps. They are guarded by local natives - all wearing chief’s hats.

In the past two weeks there have been sporadic reports from the-Congo on the hero of Kongolo and other centres, British Major, Dick Lawson. Unarmed he has effected the rescue of various priests and nuns in peril from marauding Congolese soldiers. Had Lawson been of any nationality- other than British I would have doubted the story, but as it stands; I can readily picture him with his swagger stick, dictating to a group of savages who could easily have dis- patched. him. Men like Lawson won an empire for’ Britain, and they lost it.

COUNCIL ’ CRITICIZED AGAIN l 8 a

In an unsigned article in last week’s Corgphaeus, a protest was brought against Students Council for voting to hold a graduation ban this year. In my opinion it was about time someone questioned in print the de- cisions of Council. ’

Because so few of the students bother to go to meetings, the Counca has assumed that whatever it decides will be accepted by’ all. Unfortunately this has, with one exception, been the case. But the general apathy is no reason tonassume abso- lute power. In the graduation ball episode, opinions were twice solicited through the Social Committee, and were either ignored by .Council or interprgted as they wished. In other’ matters,- Council has, through carelessness, laziness, or deliberate intent, failed to ’ publicize meetings at which matters were to be discussed which might in- terest the student body.

As a ease in point consider the auestion * of student awards system for extra cur- ricular activities. The possi- bility of setting up such a svstem is to be discussed at the ’ next Students Council meeting (which will have been .held by the time this is printed). Judging from the information given Students Council members the idea has been in the works for some time; it would have been easy enough to print an outline in last week’s Corgphaeus and invite tho e who were interested in t e it subject to come to the meet- ing.

A difficult, task con- fronts him. Why? As pointed out in a recent article current behaviour presents a confus- ing and often erroneous pic- ture. It seem impossible to use behaviour as the grounds of information. Has this not always been the case? Let us look at a first century disci- ple. Did Peter’s behaviour always agree with the ,fact that he had acknowledged Christ to be the Son of God?

'OR CULTURE ?

f‘But Peter followed Him afar off unto the high priest’s palace, and went in, and sat with the servants to see the end . . Now Peter sat (without in the palace: and a damsel came unto him, say- ing, ‘:Th ou also was 1 with Jesus of Galilee.” But he denied before them all, say- ing, “I know not what thou sayest? And when he was gone out into the porch, another maid saw him, and said unto them that were there. “This fellow was also with Jesus of Nazareth.“{

heard about it have widels differing opinions. - ”

It is questionable whether the blame for such a lack of publicity lies with the S. C. or with the Corgphaeus. Nei- ther can be expected to take all the responsibility, but certainly some sort of ar- rangement could have been worked out.

Don Curran, / Arts II

And again he denied with an oath, “I do not know the man.” And after awhile came unto him they that stood by, and said to Peter, “Surely thou also are one of them; for thg speech betraieth thee.” ) Then began he to curse and to swear, saying, “I know not the man.” And immediately the cock crew. And Peter remembered the word of, Jesus, “Before the cock crow, \ thou shalt deny me thrice.” And he went out and wept bitterly.” (Matt. xxvi : 58, , 69-75).

Peter’s speech betrayed him. Because of his manner of speech he was considered a follower of Christ. Speech or language is an integral part of culture. How often today are people considered Christians because of church attendance, particular habits or fluency in denominational vernacular? Are these things evidences of Christianity or of culture?/

In fact, Peter’s speech was a denial of Christ. “I know not the man.” It was this denial that caused Peter much personal contrition. I This was theissue that had to be settled before his reinstatement by Christ. Peter had walked with Christ for three years. Had he really known the Master? ’ I With Christ’s death Peter’s idol crumpled. Fishing nets, abandoned when Christ call- ed for followers, were again cast into the Sea of Galilee. An old way of life resumed. J

WHAT'S IN A NAME ? ? ?

Just what is in a name that makes it outstanding? It is not merely the assort- ment of syllables that spell it out, but rather it is some- thing more, something of the quality, the excellence, the reliability that this name symbolizes. It is the un- questioned excellence of Rolls-Royce products that established that name syn- onymous with quality the

established an enviable re- putation across Canada for Waterloo. It is the calibre of the students, the high quality of the course, and the imaginative ideas of the University Administration that have established such a hallmark of quality for the name Waterloo. The name Waterloo was practically un- known before the advent of

For as long as there is another institution with somewhat the same name, there will always be some confusion between the two.

And unless this little Arts College manages to establish a reputation equal to that of our school, their very medi- ocrity will detract from our quality. The name Waterloo could thus seriously hurt us, could detract from our abili- ties and worth. And yet the inherant quality of this Uni- versity could establish any name it chooses, why then should we run the risk of detraction by retaining the name Waterloo?

It seems rather obvious that this little Arts College isn’t going to give up the name Waterloo. What have they besides this tradition? The best of their staff left at non-Federation. Their low standards rule out the qual- ity students. They clutch at Waterloo like a drowning man to a straw, they have nothing left. Let them have their name Waterloo then, and let us dissociate ourselves from this fading star.

There will of course be a transition period, a time of thorough confusion. But the quality that built the repu- tation of The University of Waterloo will emerge to es- tablish a name of even great- er distinction, unhindered by the idiosyncracies of a little Arts College. It is better to have this transition now while our school is yet young, than trying to change in ten or fifteen years should the circumstances force us to. It is better to build from now a reputation of ability and excellence on a name that is distinctive, and not work under the stigma of a name that invokes a possibly harm- ful connotation. A change of name that dissociates us completely from Waterloo College would be’ to the definite advantage of this University.

TRUTH SEEKER vs. BOON

I found Marybeth’s ex- position of Roman Catholic Indulgences enlightening - Few are the individuals who either have the time or the inclination to defend a per- sonal conviction even when that zeal is not according to knowledge. ,

My poster has been re- placed in the Physics Build- ing and I politely suggest that she re-read it. The question I posed was “After death then what? heaven? hell? purgatory, which?” I plead that no man but “the man Christ Jesus” and for no sect but the first century sect “everywhere spoken against.” I maintained with scriptural references that dead people are’ reaZZy dead, and that h0 such figment of the imagination like the im- mortal soul survives that death.

When man dies “his breath. goeth, he returneth to his earth, in that very day his thoughts perish.” Fallible the- ologians with their inexhaus- tible learning and profound scholarship have entertained fanciful notions of souls leav- ing their material shells be- hind and departing to rejoice in heaven, roast in hell, or be purified in an intermediate location like purgatory or limbo. Bible teaching is a trumpet of no uncertain sound. “The living know they shall die, but the dead know not anything.”

The Roman Catholic Church has not only sold indulgences to ’ the living, but for the. dead also! In fact it became an official document of that Church in 1476 under Sixtus the IV. It has been justified by the plea of “encouraging gener- ous giving.” It is a funda- mental scriptural precept that “none of them can by any means redeem his bro- ther, nor give to God a ransom for him.” The doc- trine of souls surviving death and the consequent inven- tion of places to put those souls reeks of - its Babylon- ish wine cup. Religious sys- tems propagating this pagan orientalism in effect nullify the gospel hope. A bodily resurrection is never the only hope when an immortal soul survives death.

“This I confess unto thee that after the matter which you call heresy, so worship I the God of my fathers, believing all things which are written in the law and the prophets.”

WARRIORS LOSE TO WESTERN ON FOULS Led by the effective outside shooting of guards Innocente

and Williamson in the first half, the University of Western Ontario Mustangs fashioned a 65-51 win over our Warriors in London last Saturday night.

The play in the opening minutes was indicative of the game’s outcome, as Western took an early lead and Ray Plamer was called for three personal fouls.

Although the Warrior zone kept the Mustangs outside, Williamson and Innocente gunned from the outside, hitting on ten of their tries. The half-time score gave the Mustangs a 1’7 point edge, leading 40-23.

The style of play changed in the second half as Coach Pugliese sent his quintet into a front court press and Mustang coach Metras countered by playing possessive ball. Although the Warriors, led by the alert checking of Dick Aldridge, managed to get within eight points of the Mustangs Griffin, the Mustang centre scuttled Waterloo’s hopes by sinking three quick baskets. These baskets along with the fouls called against Waterloo were all the Mustangs needed to win by fourteen points.

That statistics show another story. Although Western got ’ one more field goal, they sunk 17 out of 22 foul shots whereas the Warriors managed only 5 for 15.

Bosch left the game on five personal fouls and with 13 points with more than two minutes to play. Palmer with nine points, and Aldridge and Pando each had four personal fouls.

High scorers in the game were the two Western guards Williamson and Innocente with 18 points apiece. Harlan Krier hit for 14 points, twelve of them in the second half on his fine\ jump shot.

Western pulled down 41 rebounds (26 in the first half and scored 50% from the field hitting on 24 of 48 attempts and Waterloo managed to get 27 rebounds and shoot 45% on 23 for 51 attempts.

Asked about the return match, Pugliese stated that it would be easier to win against five men instead of seven. The Waterloo Warriors are now in third place with four wins and three losses, and travel to Toronto to play the Dow Kings on Saturday in an exhibition game.

In a preliminary game the Western Colts defeated the Pioneers 67-50. Western was led by a good performance from Boug, a varisty player last year who was ineligible for senior play this year. Besides getting 13 points he set up many plays especially with Allison who topped all scorers with 19 points. For Waterloo, Dean Given scored 18 and Paul Fehrenbach 13.

HOCKEY In Intercollegiate hockey, the Warriors played to a 4-4

tie with the Redmen from O.A.C. The Waterloo scorers were Tom Love, Harry Lichti, Dave Brennan and Dave Hutton. Gil Farmer, Griffith Dudgeon and Bob Alexander scored for O.A.C.

Coach Rafferty, who had to play without regulars Kanerva, Houle, and goalie Judd, placed Durnan in the nets. Durnan played a creditable game but was beaten twice in the third period when the Warriors were short- handed on a broken stick penalty and a falling on the puck penalty. ,.

The next home game is tonight, Thursday, at the Water- loo auditorium against the McMaster Maurauders.

On Saturday, February 10, at ll.30 p.m., there will be an Intercollegiate Judo Tournament in the McMaster gym- nasium. The University of Waterloo is entering their young, inexperienced team in the competition. This is the second time Waterloo will enter this newly formed club for com- petition. The first tournament was held at McMaster on January 27 with the Waterloo team getting defeated in the first match by the Ottawa Judo Club. Jurgen Geissel was undefeated in the junior division of the individual com- petition but because of a mix up by the officials, one of his wins was called a draw, disqualifying both fighters. Our team hopes to do better in the coming tournament because it is restricted to university teams only and the team hopes to have some support from the University.
