37 Degrees Conferred 800 Engine.ers Petition uofwu e RoIe In

To-day’s Id: Drew , 800 engineers have signed a peti-

tion demanding that the number of voting representatives on Students’ Council be never less than 25. The petition was presented to Council at last Wednesday’s meeting. It was tabled in order to allow the other faculty representatives to find out the views of their faculty. The petition will be brought up again during council’s next meeting.

The Hon. Dana Porter, Chief Jusa tice of Ontario, and Chancellor of the University of Waterloo, confer- red honorary degrees of Doctors of Laws on the Hon. George Drew and Rabbi David Monson in the Fall Convocation exercises held in the Theatre of the Arts. As well, thirty- five men and women received bac- calaureate and graduate degrees in Arts, Science, and Engineering. Dr. Drew addressed the graduates.

Col. Drew described the Univer- sity of Waterloo as an ideal univer- sity. He said that the Co-op plan provides the opportunities for the in- tegration of academic studies on the one hand and the intensive field prac- tice on the other. He said it is neces- sary in our complex society that pro- gress in science and engineering go hand in hand with a study and under- standing of the humanities .which make life worth living.

Warning Mr. Drew gave a warning concern-

ing the unbelievable advancements of society and declared the necessity for the universities to play a major role sexes

Like Sex Four hundred and fifty students,

male and female, jammed the lecture rooms to hear Dr. Reesor’s and Dr. Wilson’s talk and discussion on sex. Dan Pugliese, originator of the lec- ture series, said he was more pleased to see such a enthusiastic turn out for the first lecture. The next lecture will be one on Mental Health on Wed- nesday, November 4, at 5:00 p.m. in the Theatre of the Arts.

EC’S FUTURE: PROVINCE OR ASSOCI TE STATE?

This was the main theme of the Confederation Debates held in the Theatre of the Arts on Thursday night. The panel, composed of Mr. Gerald Pugh-MacDonald of Waterloo Lutheran University, Mr. Ronald Birken of the University of Toronto, Mr. Ed Rubin and M. Jean Prieur both of the University of Montreal, was moderated by Mr. Andrew Thompson, Ontario Liberal Leader.

now stands. He said that if our provincial powers were strengthened considerably, as many people wish, our interprovincial relationships, (such as those with Quebec), would decrease, and our susceptibility to American influence would increase. He said, “Only co-operation between the provinces and between the English and French will en- able us to maintain a strong nation.”

Two Entities

Mr. Ed Rubin said that there were two vastly different entities in Canada, the French and the English. “French Canada is a nation possessing its own history, culture, and religion. English Canada is a nation composed of nine provinces, similar in nature.” He said that each province should look after its own affairs and seek its own priorities.

Dr. Bowers joined the University of Waterloo in August of this year.

President Dick Van Veldhuisen addresses the opening meeting of Students’ Council last Wednesday.

Associate State

M. Jean Prieur said that Quebec has existed and shall exist as an ‘associate state’, and eventually it will control all its own national interests, education, culture, health plans, pension plans, and imrni- gration policies. However, he did feel that Quebec should share the same systems of transportation, defense, and postal services as the rest of Canada.

Pierre Maheux, a Quebec separa- tist, will visit this campus on Thurs- day and will adress an open meeting of the newly-formed Socialist Club. Mr. Maheux, a strong separatist from Montreal, is a member of the edi- torial board of Parti Pris, a separa- tist journal. The appearance of Mr. Maheux provides an opportunity for students on this campus to hear the ‘other side’ of an issue affecting ev- ery student in Canada. His address will be given on Thursday, November 5, at 8:00 p.m. in E-109. A question and answer period will follow for the benefit of all interested students.

Each Different

In the rebutal, Mr. Birken pointed out the differences in each province and showed how every province differs from each other one. Thus, the Federal Government must unify all these ten separate identities. He said that Quebec merely wants the best of everything for itself, without due consideration for the other nine provinces.

Proud Americans Today, the American people go to staff. Above all, President Johnson

the polls to elect sherrifs, judges, has failed to tell the American people state assemblies, senators, but above the Truth - that is, that there is a all, they go to the polls to elect a WAR going on in South Vietnam. President of the United States. Am- erica is such a great society, econo- mically, culturally, and technologi- cally. They are always boasting of these traits. Why is it, then, that they must choose between two men, nei- ther of whom the Americans can trust.

President Johnson has been ex- posed in his relations with the ‘notori- ous’ Bobby Baker. He has been ac- cused of a breach of security having Gordon Jenkins on his ‘White House’

On the other hand, Senator Barry Goldwater is just the opposite. He is willing to ‘face the facts’ with the American pvple. The only trouble is that most of his policies are too radical. He acts and would act too much on impulse.

Goldwater’s policies are too much against the present values of the Am- erican Society; therefore, the Proud American People are forced to ac- cept President Lyndon B. Johnson.

External Relations - In the rapidly growing Canadian sphere of higher education, it is no

longer possible or profitable for any facet of the college ‘hierarchy to operate solely within the microcosm of one universtiy. It has been recognized by faculty and administration that active inter-university co-operation is necessary and now, finally, students should come to this same realization.

But what does this involve? Machinery should be set up that this university is represented at ex-

changes, seminars, and conferences by the most qualified and best informed students on our campus. The students should begin to develop an awareness for the needs and deprivations of students in other, less affluent countries, and be prepared to act on this knowledge. Our council and clubs should look to other universities that have gone through similar phases of development to delimit many unnecessary growing pains. In our turn, we must be prepared to supply this sort of information gained through experience to other univer- sities, to accept the responsibility of co-operating with other universities on endeavours of joint interest, and to act as a proper host to visiting student groups.

Finally, students must learn that, collectively, they have a strong political voice, at the provincial and national level, but only through co-operation on a widespread level can it be heard.

But these things do not originate by themselves. Nor will they burst forth spontaneously from the ranks of the multitudes. They must be carefully re- searched, planned and administered with the goal of activating, interesting, or at least informing, as many students as possible. Students’ Council must take the initiative to see that some framework is set up to insure that these matters are dealt with competently instead of inefficiently, whole-heartedly rather than haphazardly, with disinterest rather than selfishness, with purpose and with responsibility.

To what avail? - An Editorial ’ from the UBC UBYSSEY

We said it before she came, and we’ll say it now that she’s gone: The Queen should have stayed home.

Not that we’re against the personage, or even the institution, of the mon- archy. It is simply that the purpose and ideals of Canadian unity would have been better sreved by her absence. The royal presence failed - if, indeed, such was planned - to ameliorate the grief of division threatening Canada. Indeed, it afforded a focus for the hatreds and lunacies of those who would like nothing better than to see our country torn in two or more chaotic frag- ments.

What better way for Quebec’s crackpot fringe to attract attention than to demonstrate along the royal tour route - a route the world was watching?

Over-zealous provincial authorities didn’t help matters either. Newspreels of helmeted cops with overlength nightsticks lacing savagely into demonstra- tors and bystanders alike made Quebec look like the Missippi of Canada.

And to what avail? To protect the Queen from insult? To maintain a farcical illusion that all is peachy - keen with Canada’s

century-old confederation? To disguise the fact that only a handful of French-Canadians turned out

to see “their” Queen? No answer to these questions will justify the result of the Queen’s visit;

French Canada’s idiot minority has added another block to the asinine wall it is building between Canada’s founding races. And the result would have been the same if the demonstrators had been allowed to croak and babble unchecked for all the world to hear.

We have a resident artist responsi- ble for a gallery which appears 6, be primarily catering to the community. We send hundreds of invitations out to the general community to come to our Theatre Gallery.

This ‘gal’ is doing an excellent job in this way, but what is she doing for the students’? Do we have an art club, tours to art galleries? Is she teaching art classes? We’re paying a good portion of her salary and where are the returns. ’

Also we have a resident musician with the title of Director of Music. He was recently involved in an at- tempt to set up a music series in the theatre. Is this his job? I thought Mr. Pati1 Berg was our Theatre Consult- ant? This artist has established him- self as the University of Waterloo Duo is traipsing around the coun- try playing concerts. That’s great, but does this help us develop a music pro- gramme on campus? Does he conduct our budding young orchestra? Has he organized any student chamber groups? How can he conduct the choir when he is on tour regularly? How can we expect choir develop- ment? The colleges already have choirs of 20 to 30 voices. What do we have?

Either a lack of direction of these artists is evidenced by this situation or a lack of orientation towards the needs of a university student activities.

I believe that the latter is the case. We first of all need a programme director who can carry out the objec- tives of the Board of Student Activi- ties. He can hire the necessary Direc- tor of Music or Art and primarily orient their efforts towards the de- velopment of student activities. He can ensure that programme is car- ried out in the best possible manner so that students gain from their leadership and participation experien- ces the skills and attitudes necessary for them to become our future lea- ders.

Its about time we re-evaluated the staffing of student activities.

Martin Kravitz, Arts II.

u

In a recent fiasco, the Board of Student Activities and the Students’ Council Executive, (summer version) dispensed several thousand dollars to an ‘artists agent’ to buy talent for a student sponsored series of musical events including the Toronto Sym- phony Orchestra.

This was a very fine programme they planned, but had any of these persons checked on the credit rating or reputation of this ‘agent’?

The answer is a very definite NO. Not one of our so called executives had ever before had any dealings with such negotiations before. They failed in their prime responsibility to the students they represent, to inform themselves of the problems and haz- zards of such a commitment.

The agent as it turned out was not able to produce and possibly we stand to lose a large sum of money.

The irony of the situation is that this independent action of establish- ing a ‘student series’ failed to recog- nize an already existant programme. Mr. Paul Berg has put to-gether a very fine series of ‘dramatic and musi- cal events.

The money we were willing to spend independently could have pro- vided some of the best musical and dramatic events at a very small charge, specifically for students. Mr. Berg in his capacity of Theatre Con- sultant is also attempting to fill stu- dent vacancies on the Theatre Com- mittee.

Why can’t Students’ Council fill these position and work out some arrangement whereby we can co-op- erate with the Theatre Committee and develop a series of events for students. Use Mr. Berg’s experience in this rather than stick our inex- perienced necks out into this jungle of artista and agents. How about it Board of Student Activities and Stu- dents’ Council? j

Waking Up

warding of Degrees

On Saturday, October 24, the Wat- degrees, according to President Hag- erloo Lutheran University awarded ey, is to honor people for the contri- three honorary degrees of Doctor of butions which they have made to Laws to Lady Eaton, Reverend J. F. society at large and education speci- Neudoerffer, and The Hon. Chester fically. , A. Ronning, former Canadian High Commissioner to India.

On Friday, October 30, the Univer- sity of Waterloo awarded two honor- ary Doctor of Laws degrees to Rabbi David A. Monson and Lt.-Col. The Hon. George Drew Q.C., former Canadian High Commissioner to the United Kingdom.

However, the general principle of awarding degrees has become a farce. It seems as if each university in this country is trying ‘to out do’ the. other universities by awarding their honorary degrees to ‘more eminent’ people. The people receiving these degrees will naturally be quite grate- ful, (perhaps they will even contribute some money); thus, they will gladly promote the university and help its development.

Not to be out done, the Waterloo Lutheran University will award the Doctor of Laws degree to The Right Hon. Lester B. Pearson, Prime Mini- ster of Canada, in December. But is this fulfilling that lofty pur-

Dear Sir: Last Tuesday the Drama $ociety

held a “Workshop Night.” The pro- gramme consisted of three one-act plays - one each by Yeats, Chekov and Ionesco. Unfortunately few knew of the Workshop Night. Although the information was handed into the Coryphaeus well in time, it was not printed because as your (A.O. Dick, Editor-in-Chief) said, “We had stuff that was more important.” Possibly. But surely an evening of drama spon- sored by a student group with students participating deserves a mention, at least in the notice column?

Red ensign is out- (CUP. - OTTAWA)---The Special

Committee on a Canadian Flag has received copies of a resolution stat- ing that the Canadian Union of Stu- dents (CUS) officially “supports the adoption of a distinctive Canadian flag other than the Red Ensign or the Union Jack”.

“This stand expresses the preva- lent attitude among today’s univer- sity youth”, stated CUS president Jean Bazin in his letter to committee members.

“The Canadian Union of Students is deeply concerned with the state of affairs in the House of Commons, re- garding a Canadian flag”, he said. “We expect that a recommendation will finally be forthcoming, and that, in the interests of Canadian unity and . progress, this recommendation will be accepted by the House of Commons after but a short subsequent debate.”

One member of the Special Com- mittee replied to Mr. Bazin that “the choice of a flag is a very important matter to the entire country, and I am more than happy at this time to have the official views of your Union.“.

Another committee member said, “You can be assured that a recom- mendation will be submitted to the House of Commons at the end of the six weeks’ sittings of our Flag Com- mittee”. The committee report is to be presented at the end of this month.

The resolution presented by the Canadian Union of Students was pas- sed at the 28th CUS Congress at York University in Toronto.

Saint Aethelwold’s Players will be presenting medieval drama at the Theatre of the Arts.

Let’s Have A Party by Dave Grafstein

“Let’s Have a Party,” sang Oscar Brand last Friday night, and he and the audience of about one thousand, on hand to hear him at Seagram Gym, did just that.

Using a good deal of unusual sing along material, Mr. Brand had the audience singing enthusiastically without the annoying handcla.pping which usually accompanies folk song concerts.

Mr. Brand’s material ranged from beautiful ballads to raucous sea shanties, all of which charmed the audience. Especially in “Copper Kettle,” he held the attention of the Homecoming crowd despite the fact

that most of them had come to hear Mr. Brand sing some of the bawdy songs for which he has become not- ed. In this category, as well, Brand did not disappoint as he brought lascivious laughter with such songs as “Erie Canal,” “Bless ‘em All,” and “Red Light Saloon.” a

Brand’s huge repertoire ‘enabled him to show the audience the de- velopment of certain songs from their origins in Irish and Scottish counterparts. “Ball of Yarn” was one song where Brand gave the audience an idea of the folk process while, at the same time, they responded with their own participation in the number.

St. Jerome’s College Forms Medieval Drama Group This year for the tist time the student drama company of Saint Jerome’s

College has assumed the name of Saint Aethelwold’s Players. The patron saint of the company is an English bishop who lived in the tenth century. It is in his Regularis Concordia, a document concerning the reform of the Benedictine monasteries prepared at the request of King Edgar, that is found the first stirrings of the revival of drama.

This is the third time the company has presented a production of medieval drama to the faculty and students of this University and other nearby Univer- sities and to the community at large. Two years ago a mystery play, No&, was performed; and last spring the company chose Wyt and Science, a morality play. On November 5, 6 and 7 of this year an example of both kinds of drama will be performed each evening. The morality play Mankynde will oc- cupy the first part of the program. After intermission the company will return for The Killing of Abell, a mystery play from the Towneley, or Wakefield, cycle.

Both of these plays will be directed by Professor L. Cummings of the English Department at St. Jerome’s College. It was at the suggestion of Pro- fessor Cummings that the company was first formed. So far as known, it is the only group regularly performing medieval drama in Canada and the United States. Another distinctive aspect of the company is the style of acting it uses. It is a traditional style, traceable back through the minstrels of the Middle Ages to the mime and the pantomine, the Etruscan dances of antiquity and even as far back as the “goat dance” of prehistoric Greece. It is not a realistic or naturalistic style but rather a style very similar to that is which Shakespeare and Moligre must originally have been acted; a style of which the commeddia dell’arte is but one manifestation. The opera, the minstrel show, the burlesque comedian and the Yiddish comedian are some modern survivals.

The performances will be held in the University’s Theatre of the Arts be- ginning at 8 p.m. on November 5, 6, 7. Tickets are priced at $1.00 for adults; 50~ for students. No charge for children. Tickets may be purchased at the Box Office of the Theatre or the Arts in person, by malil or telephone. They will ,, also be available from any member of the company and from various repre- sentatives on campus.

Student activities across Canada during the past week have shown that university life is anything but dull.

The birth of a baby on October 14 was heralded by a 21- gun salute, fired on the University of Victoria campus last week, from an ancient brass cannon. The reception marked the birth of Douglas Howard Killaby Barr, son of Mrs. Olivia Barr, president of the University’s student council. The baby’s father is one of the University library staff. The University paper, The Martlet, beneath a headline “Baby Barr Receives Booming Welcome,” commented, somewhat ambiguously, that this was the first time an AMS president had given birth to a child while in office.

A clash is expected between traditionally conservative English-speaking Bishop’s University and a vigorous separa- tist element from French-speaking Sherbrooke. The students of Bishop’s and the University of Sherbrooke will hold a bilingual provincial model parliament November 4 and 5 on the Sherbrooke campus. Each university will have 25 seats in the model legislature. Elections have been held on both campuses to distribute seats among the various Quebec political parties. The two universities will sit opposite one another during the legislature’s two day sitting. Simultaneous translation will be provided. The first of its kind in Canada, the meeting of the two student groups is expected to draw considerable attention in Quebec. A number of the members of the Quebec legislature are, expected to attend.

“We ask you to boycott them.” A strong stand has been taken by The Carillon, student newspaper of the University of Saskatchewan in Regina. Calling on all students’ support, the newspaper asked for a boycott of local merchants re- fusing to advertise in the paper. In an editorial, the news- paper said it requires about $2,000.00 in advertising this year. Merchants placing ads in the paper should receive student support. The newspaper explained that several Regina busi- nesses take student money but refuse to use the newspaper’s services.

Is it a prison or a reform school? Neither, but neverthe- less, the new Totem Park Girls’ Dorm at U.B.C. has an as- tonishing security system which utilizes every security measure short of army guards. High barred gates block openings in the surrounding 8-foot wall, spotlights illuminate every corner, inside and out, and dormitory windows open only a few inches. The general idea of the. system is to keep the girls in and the boys out - and it works. A girl returning from a date must sign in with the porter, then she and her date may walk over to her dorm, and whisper good night (overheard by the porter by means of an intercom). When she is ready to go in, she tells the intercom (affection- ately called “buzzer-box”) after which a buzzer sounds and she has four seconds to open, enter, and shut the door. If she takes even a half second too long, the burglar alarm goes off. Just one query: what girl would move into the place?

A University of Ottawa student denied last week in court that/he had shouted “gestapo” at police during the royal visit October 10. De,nis Boyer, a 20-year-old photographer with the Fulcrum, U. of 0. student newspaper, testified in Quebec municipal court that he had remained silent until police knocked his camera from his hands and he was arrested,. He sa,id that he has not seen the camera, which he valued at $200.00, since.

Boyer was on an assignment with two Fulcrum reporters in Quebec city on the Saturday the Queen made five public appearances before separatist demonstrators. He. told re- porters he was trying to get a picture of Montreal boxer and separatist, Reggie Chartrand, fighting with three helmeted police, when a policeman threw his camera to the ground. “I shouted ‘My camera’ and the next thihg I knew I was in a policeman’s lap in the back seat of a police car. I saw Reggie ‘Chartrand lying face down on the floor with three pairs of legs holding him.” Bayer, was released from jail on $25 bail 24 hours later.

The court this week reserved judgement on charges of disorderly conduct and insulting the police, to both of which Boyer pleaded not guilty. No date was set for judge- ment.

It was the Circle K Club car bash to raise money. As. well as raising money, the project was used to ad- vertise the various activities to be held during Homecoming. The car, painted in WUC colors with an ap- propriate yellow stripe down it’s back, also allowed the students to display their aflection for WUC by crushing I the “WUC-Mobile.” The project was a smashing success, with staff, stu- dents and faculty members participat-

ing. By the time the last fender was smashed off Circle K had raised $83.74, $50 of which will be used to pay off a loan from the local Kiwanis Club. The remainder, after deducting the price of two sledgehammers which some overeager students managed to splinter, will go to help defray the costs of various Homecoming pro- jects, such as the pep-rally undertaken by Circle K. The remains of the car were hoisted on a truck and triumph- antly paraded on Saturday. After the parade and the pep-rally the car was laid in it’s final resting place - a junkyard in Bridgeport.

Co-Op Causes Bedroom Bedlam

A general appeal is being made by Mrs. Beausoleil of Housing Ser- vice in Annex 1 to all students in the co-operative programme (1) who now live off campus, and will start a work term in December, or (2) who are now on work terms and plan to move into town in January.

Each student in category 1, who plans to leave town for a work term in December, is required to leave a’ message with the Housing Service in Annex 1 containing his name and current local address. This will en- able Mrs. Beausoleil to allocate his room to somebody else after .his de- parture. Note: this message does not apply to those living in residence, or to those who will stay ‘in their current rooms after Christmas.

A number of students are now on work terms and will be moving into town at the end of December. To facilitate earlier registration, each of these students is required to send a letter to the Housing Service, Annex 1, stating his name, and whether he wants a single room, a double room, and/or light house- keeping arrangements. Students planning to move into residence are exempt.

Co-operation in these regards would be greatly appreciated by Mrs. Beausoleil, who works very hard on behalf of the students. The service is open from 9 -5 in Annex 1.

TWO Bad Bteaks

The Waterloo Lutheran University Golden Hawks defeated the Univer- sity of Waterloo Warriors 19-18 in a classic ‘Homecoming’ football game at Seagram Stadium on Saturday. The game, witnessed by over five thou- sand fans, was close all the way as the score indicates,. Carl Totzke, coach of the Warriors, said his boys had played well enough to win, and the two bad breaks made the differ- ence. The lead see-sawed back and forth throughout the entire game.

W.L.U. took an early lead when Stankovic passed to Jim Grant for a T.D. Paul Heinbecker made the con- vert good to give the Hawks a 7-O lead. In the second quarter, Ric Gage kicked a twenty yard field goal to put the Warriors on the score sheet. Later in the first half, Dick Aldridge moved the team down the field with crisp passes to Walter Finden and Ian MacNaughton. Dick went over for the touchdown; thus, when Ric Gage made the convert good, the Warriors had a 10-7 lead.

On the first play of the second half, the Hawks intercepted a War- rior pass and ran it back to the War- rior one yard line. The Warrior de- fense, which has been a real standout all year, held the Hawk attack twice, but on the third attempt they could not hold them back from paydirt. Stankovic scored the T.D., but the convert was blocked. Later, Ric Gage missed a ‘bad-angle’ field goal, and the Warriors picked up a single point to make the score 13-11 for W.L.U.

In the fourth quarter, Bob Franks scored on a ‘13 yd.’ run to put the Warriors back into the lead. The con-

vert by Gage gave the Warriors their 18 points. Later, the Warriors moved deep into Hawk territory, but failed to score. The Hawks took over on their own 23 yard line. Ed Turek then scored on a 87 yard screen pass and run. The convert was wide. So the game ended W.L.U. 19 and U.W. 18.

Third Time This is the third time that the vic-

tor on the gridiron has won by only one point. The first time was in ‘62 when the Hawks won 7-6. Last year, the Warriors won 13-12.

Statistics The statistics of the game were

very even. Warriors picked up 16 first downs to the Hawks 15. U.W. total yardage was 258 compared to W.L.U. 300. Bob Bamford kicked four times for an average of 37 yds. W.L.U.‘s average was 28 yards on five kicks.

Conrad Grebel College, the newest of the affiliated colleges at the Univer- sity of Waterloo, was officially opened on Sunday, October 25, with two ceremonies.

The ceremony began with the presentation of the keys to the college by the contractor. Arthur Wiles. The keys symbolize the completion of the construction of the College. They were presented first to the architect, Carl Rieder, then to the Chairman of the Building Committee, John W. Neufeld, then to Milton Good, Chairman of the Board of Governors of Conrad Grebel, and finally to Dr. Winfield Freti, President of Conrad Grebel.

In his dedication address, Dr. Fretz reflected on the actual stages of con- ception, design, and construction of the College over the past year. He thank- ed the Building Committee for their spirit of co-operation and hard work that went into the preliminary planning and actual construction of the building.

He expressed admiration for the beautiful design of the building ,and the craftsmanship that went into its construction which reflects the combined skills of workers from all over the world. Dr. Fretz added the sobering pre- caution that aesthetics and the tendency to worship the beautiful should not substitute for the. worship of God.

The inauguration of the President, Dr. Fretz, and the Chaplain, Mr. Walter Klaassen, took place in the Arts Theatre Sunday evening. Mr. Milton Good, Chairman of the Board of Governors, led the ceremony. The inaugural prayer was led by Rev. James Reusser, the Pastor of Stirling Avenue United Church.

In his address, Dr. Fretz commented on the Mennonite community’s de- parture from tradition in erecting an institution of higher learning in an urban setting on the campus of a secular university. He assured his audience that this does not represent any great change in moral outlook, but he did admit that it is a “dangerous and exciting” venture for a people who have tradition- ally retreated from the conformity of the Machine Age. The danger lies in the possibility of assimilation into the fast pace of the modern world with the resulting degeneration of Mennonite ideals. The excitement lies in the oppor- tunity for the Mennonite community to interpret its Christian ideas to univer- sity students and thus to the world.

Walter Klaassen, the Chaplain, will give lectures in a Bible study course. He emphasized that the Bible will be studied as an important piece of writing which has had tremendous influence on the world, especially the western world. He stated that there will be no attempt to influence the student in his assess- ment of the moral values to be gained from the study.

Among those who offered congratulations at the service were Rev. Francis Wagschal, Pastor of the Waterloo Lutheran University, Mr. A. W. Rees of Renison College who spoke on behalf of the affiliated colleges on campus. Dr. Hagey, the president of the University welcomed Conrad Grebel College to the University ‘ ‘family”.

Dr. Carl &-eider, the Dean of Goshen College, in Goshen, Indiana, gave the inaugural address. He spoke on the educational revolution in the world today and expressed the belief that the twentieth century would go down in recorded history as the century in which total literacy was achieved by all people.

A hymn was then sung by the congregation and a benediction closed off the formal proceedings.

‘by T. A. de Souza Overseas students, from what I

see, are not passive spectators. They are actively engaging themselves in various, concrete activities to build up a firm and worthy association. About two weeks ago, they had their first meeting to discuss ways and means to evolve the existing, but dormant association and to chalk out a ‘full-fledged’ programme of activities. The strong note of this meeting was the large turn out of students, including many Canadian and some female students. Although the meeting did not do much work, it did not end in pandemonium; in- stead, firm views were expressed to strengthen the Overseas Students Association. COFFEE HOUR. For the first time in the annals of this University an in- formal coffee hour was arranged for the overseas students in the Engi- neering Lounge. Unfortunately, mus-’ ical entertainment was not held; however, ‘in the future, every coffee hour will be punctuated with music- al entertainment. POST OFFICE. Many students are complaining there are no postal fac- ilities on our campus. The University has almost become a small town. Not to have such facilities as stamps aerograms, and even a ‘post box’ is rather tragic. At present, the Stu- dents’ Book Store keeps some post- age stamps, but the store is not ob- ligated to do this job. In fact, it is the goodwill of the Student Store to come to the students rescue. The postal authorities should realize this need of the student community and start a small post office, either on the campus or nearby. Perhaps, the university authorities could make a move in this direction. U.N. BALL. The U.N. Ball, held un- der the auspices of W.U.S., was well organized and well attended. Many overseas students attended, dressed in their nation,al costumes.

Phyllis Gotlieb, a Toronto house- , wife, brough out her own personal beliefs in her poems. At times she became very emotional and showed her love for Judaism, for biblical history, and her hate for the bitter realities of life.

Leonard Cohen, a young poet who spends most of his time on the Is- land of Hydra showed forcefully his dislike for totalitarianism. He felt that every action of man was a trap with a bait endeavouring to tempt something or someone. He had a good clear voice, seemed very calm, and a little superior.

These poets are now appearing at the University of Western Ontario.

Sociologist Says Qu’ebec will Separate TORONTO (CUP) - A sociologist at the University of Toronto says the

economic disadvantages will likely not prevent the separation of Quebec from Canada.

W. D. Johnson, a lecturer in sociology who has just’returned from studies in Quebec, said earlier this month that the last stumbling block confronting the separatist movement is the French-Canadian communities outside the pro- vince of Quebec. He added however that opinion is gathering on the side of those who want to leave these communities as they are on the grounds that they are already on the road to assimilation.

The backbone of the separatist movement is Quebec’s new technocratic middle class. They are willing to sacrifice “free enterprise capitalism” and to cast their lot with the state to change political structure for economic and political equality.

One striking feature of the separatist movement is that French-Canadians are taking over the labor and farming movements and some unions are pres- sing for nationalist goals rather than for more money and shorter working hours. Mr. Johnson said that if this separatist sentiment spreads to the whole labour movement there will be “a complete tipping into separatism.”

Separatism is the aim of most of Quebec’s young intellectuals and is catching on among the more mature intelligentsia too. A contemporary French-Canadian joke translates “A stranger in Paradise” as “an English- Canadian in Quebec,” which shows how French-Canadians look upon English- Canadians - as foreigners.

The big fear of many French-Canadian intellectuals is that separatism may well lead to the evolution of a fascist state.

The separatist movement has provided French-Canadians with a new elan, said Mr. Johnson. The paradox is that now the French-Canadians have an attainable goal, their former indolent resentment of English-Canadians has largely vanished. But separatism is not something which will happen tomorrow. Recent polls show that only 13 percent of the Quebec population is actually in favour of separating now. A specific movement is far from mature. No one has really formulated a definite plan for separation, and it will take a much more radical political combination than Lesage and his Liberals to implement it.

For the moment at any rate, separatism is no more “the general climate” of political opinion. “But Quebec will separate eventually,” said Mr. Johnson.
