,WE WANT ‘I ERLOO”. m m PLUMBERS’ NIGHTMARE

The Plumber’s winter stag turned out to be a rootin’ tootin’, very enjoyable drunk which ‘was dearly beloved by all.

The Bridgeport Casino was packed promptly at 8.30 by 203 happy card sharks who started to rip the place apart with bridge and poker games. In the first stage of the evening, everything was rather quiet. Mike Topolay put away a mickey of what later turned out to be acetone and John Buchanan was found forcing down glasses of something resembling powerfully decaying orange juice so he could eat the cherries in the bottom.

At ten Tom Clarkson set up a movie screen and pro- jector, announced authorita- tively, “Let’s have some movies!” and was trampled in the frantic rearrangement of chairs. Then, after shifting his audience twice, by mov- ing the screen, so he could get a better view, he started the show. The films were two of the Carling’s Spectator

Sports Series and were of wrestling, although one con- tained some boxing as well. The attentive audience turned out to be a blood- thirsty herd which at times drooled in unison. Although the *films were silent a runn- ing commentary by the Fifth Year Peanut Gallery made all the developments crystal- clear.

When the lights came on again a buffet lunch was served. The hunger-madden- ed group converged on “Pip” Thomas and his crew and cleaned them out of a fan- tastic amount of food in a few short minutes. They almost carried “Pip” out.

So then the cards were brought out again and every- one played until midnight when they were swept out to wend their way home.

And herein let it be record- ed that everyone did make it home safely without further incident - except for Herb Alexander. And even he was going along all right until someone stepped on his hand.

M.R.A. and the FANATICS . . . \ (or A Plea. For Individuality)

By Theodore A. Rushton It is typical that MRA

should be gaining many of its converts from the other sects of fanatics, such as the Communist and the Fidel- istas at the University of San Mareos. It is easier for a fanatical communist to be converted to the fanaticism of a religious ideology (this the MRA people do), than it is to convert him to the reason for liberalism and freedom. All t,hat really hap- pens to this individual is the substitution of one blind set of rules for another blind set of rules. No progress in human liberty has been made at all.

What are these fanatics then? They are people who are afraid of themselves, who cannot stand the responsi- bility of managing their own lives. They willingly abdicate all the responsibility of di- recting their lives to someone or to some ideology, other than themselves. They are immature and insecure peep-. le, grasping for something to guide their lives for them so that they will not have the responsibility of doing it themselves. They are afraid of themselves and their own shortcomings, they will blindly follow a leader or an ideology not because of a goal that they are promised, but because the anonymity of the mass group will hide any failures on their part.

These people are the ones who cannot live without some cause to dedicate their lives to. To be free, to live a purposeful existence seems futile, trivial and even sinful

to these people. Tolerance is a sign of weakness and ignorance, to live without an ardent dedication to some cause is to be adrift and abandoned. They hunger- for the deep assurance of total surrender to the will of some God, to some ideology. It is not the cause that is im- portant, but rather the com- plete dedication to it that matters. Such is their con- cept of life that they will join in any crusade, even against their former holy cause, provided that it is a genuine crusade . . . uncom- promising, intolerant, and proclaiming the one and only truth. This is exactly the kind of alternative that MRA provides to commun- ism, to fidelism, and to the other fanatical groups.

All of these fanatical be- liefs are alike, they are brothers under the skin. They hate each other with the hatred of brothers, yet they are as close together as Saul and Paul. A sudden brilliant revelation and they see the ‘wisdom’ of the opposing fanaticism as de- voutly as they once fought against it. They all have a common denominator that they work upon . . . the decadence of the modern world. They continually in sist that the modern world is too soft, too pleasure lov- ing and too selfish to die for a nation, a God or a holy. cause. This lack of readiness to die . . . so we are told

is indicative of an inner Edt; a moral and biological decay. The modern’world is old, corrupt and decaying,

HOW LOW A UNION?

A year ago, I was one of a number of high school stu- dents who took turns each noon helping to feed the children at the Crippled Children’s Centre. I would be lying if I said that I looked forward to these visits - There is little pleasure to be found in watching a twelve year old boy trying vainly to feed himself or in discovering that a little girl is slowly dying. I once asked a nurse how she managed to cope emotionally with the many setbacks and the slow progress made in the treat- ment of the children. “First,” she said, “you must learn not to pity them. They don’t want your pity, but rather your help in enabling them to perform useful tasks in society.”

One of the ways of helping the crippled children through- out Ontario is the fund rais- ing of the annual Ontario Sports Celebrities Dinner. This year the proceeds are to be turned over to the North Waterloo Society for Crip- pled Children to provide a therapeutic swimming pool for the Kitehener centre. And this year, the action of a group of spiteful union bosses who, knowing their cause to be lost, but de- termined nevertheless to bring down the rest of the world with them, have sue- ceeded in dampening the spirit of the whole affair.

A Haven for Hers Did you know that a new

lounge has been provided for the female students on cam- pus? (This is what is known as an arresting opening sen- tence and is designed to catch the reader’s interest. I am afraid that it is a hold- over from my high school days. Since I now have your undivided attention, I shall continue). This lounge is located in Room 223 of the Mathematics and Physies Building, and I am certain that all female students will discover it to be one of their places to remember. Serious- ly though, we appreciate the efforts of those who realized the necessity of providing us with this “inner sanctum.” But as with all good things it too has its fault; it’s terribly eentralized for those wishing to escape from an hour with their favourite professor.

they insist, no match at all for the virile congregations of their faithful who are about to inherit the world. This is the spirit of your modern fanaticism, whether it be MRA, a militant cath- olicism, fascist or communist inspired.

At the last meeting of the Board of Governors of the University of Waterloo, the Board indicated its concern about the public confusion as a result of the similarity of the names ‘The University of Waterloo’, Waterloo Luth- eran University’ and ‘Water- loo University College’. After considerable discussion it was decided that at the next meeting of the Board of Governors consideration would be given to the possi- bility of changing the name of the University of Wat- erloo.

The discussion indicated that in order to avoid such confusion it appeared essen- tial that the name ‘Waterloo’ would need to be removed from the University’s name. This, however, would not remove the identification of the location of the University becaTJse letterheads and all printed material would have the selected name associated with the City of Waterloo as the location of the Uni- versity.

The above is the official release to the public that this University is contem- plating a change of name. Such a matter should not be undertaken with the light- ness and apparent ease which the bulletin implies. Already, there are a dozen petitions all against the change of

name, some carry the tone of mock indignation, but the majority are very serious in intent. From observation, we know that the consenus on this campus is, that the name of this University should not be changed.

It is of little concern to us whether “the College” had the name Waterloo first, or that they have had it for thirty odd years. We feel that we are a credit to the community from which we take our name and that is the name which we want to retain. Granted, there is some confusion regarding the names of the schools, espec- ially outsi?.e the community, but we feel that in time, this confusion will become negli- gible. If both schools insist on retaining their present names (and we believe they will) then one name will eventually attain a marked predominance over the other. We believe that we have the potential to enhance our growing reputation as a fine University and consequently attain that predominance which will strike from any- one’s lips that absurd ques- tion, “Which Waterloo?”

We stand behind our pre- sent name and any attempt to change that name will be met with protest and the strongest possible resistance from this newspaper.

WHAT IS MORAL I feel that it is time I

explained more fully the ideas behind Moral Re-Arm- ament. From careful ob- servation I find that M.R.A. is not an organization, a sect, or a religion. It is an ideology for all men everywhere above colour, class or creed. It is out to cure the evils which create social injustice, economic suffering and war. To this end Moral Re-Arma- ment is creating new men with new motives.

This ideology is based upon four strong standards. These four absolute moral standards are honesty, pur- ity, unselfishness and love. Why absolute? A standard that changes to suit the situation is not a standard but a compromise. Compro- mise results in confusion. We need an authority which is acceptable to all. Besi-?es, who wants a roof that keeps out rain part of the time, or a rocket that almost blasts off?

The other integral part of the ideology of M.R.A. is the idea of God-guided men. It is the right and privilege of a man to find God’s plan for his life and for his nation. God’s voice is man’s eon- science. When man listens God speaks. When man obeys God acts. This has been true down through the centuries. Today we are tot- tering on the brink of de- struction. Man has tried to solve his problems without God. Now many people are

RE-ARMAMENT ? coming to the realization that only God can save us. Dr. Frank Buchman, the initiator of M.R.A. said, “Why should there be catas- trophe when under God re-1 naissance is inevitable?”

Moral Re-Armament is a revolution which changes human nature. Marshal Tav- ora, national hero of Brazil, who led four bloody revolu- tions says, “Moral Re-Arm- ament is the revolution to end all revolutions.” He was reconciled with his bitterest enemy, Marshall Lott, at the Rio Conference. Together they are bringing a new spirit to their country.

I find that most people, including many Christians, believe that human nature can not be change?. I unler- stand that feeling. Before I went to Rio I was in a state of doubt and despair. Bur. now I know that human nature can change because I have seen men transformed. And more important I have found a new faith myself.

The most intriguing aspect of Moral Re-Armament is the quality of men it pro- duces. In M.R.A. you find a growing force of men and women with courage, eon- vietion, and joy which eome from victorious living. They have actually found victory over fear and sin. Now the truth of the matter is that these people, before they changed, were no different from you or I. They are not

In times of international ‘tension, there is a tendency for non-political matters to fade into relative insignificance, to leave the front page and to be forgotten. Such a problem are those people who traffic in illegal narcotics. The problem

! isalways relevant because it is a crime against humanity and as yet, humanity has found no effective way of alleviating

I this vile and prevalent problem. There is no need to go ’ ’ into the effects of opium or heroine on an individual, but i rather, we want to discuss the, idea of the punishment

fitting the crime. i i / Men -without conscience run the risk of handling dope

because the dividends make i{ well worth their while. r. -Narcotics purchased in Asia or the middle East, if they can , Is \ be brought to North America, are sold’ for a price many

times in excess of that which was originally paid. The / ’ ; ultimate seller becomes filthy rich while the ultimate ‘buyer

if’ left to a life of suffering, his mind becomes diseased and ‘. there eventually lives a shell where once lived a human being. /I ! (What does society do to combat this? Society expends

millions of dollars each year in trying to smash dope rings and mhny times such efforts are worthwhile especially’ when offenders are brought to justice. There now arises the question which is the crux of this editorial, “What constitutes

~ . justice for those whose business is illegal narcotics?” Why (‘ should peddling dope not carry the same sentence as first

‘i degree murder because the end results of both crimes are 7 virtually the same? Often, even+ murder can be ‘classified as s justifiable orat least have some extenuating circumstances

8’ but dope peddling cannot be justified on any grounds. /

I ’ The “eye for -an eye” philosophy is fast losing support in

our society because the would be advocates of such a philos- ‘ophy is hooted down by the idealists and, proclaimed a barbarian. The death penalty is the most effective deterrent sobiety has against crimes of this nature but even extremists

, would readily agree that such a penalty is rather drastic. Very well! On the premise that we are idealists, let us rule . out capital punishment and suggest much stiffer prison ‘f . g ’ sentences. Even prison sentences are becoming a farce

1 because a life sentence with its time off for good behaviour ’ and so forth, means nothing theses days since very few con- : . ‘vi&s are in more than fifteen. years. Such idealism will not

’ i and has!,not worked. The more society needs the ultimate I deterrent the less we. want to use it. If the prospect of

prospect is to the guilty. , I , i t

The- possibility of setting up a series of one hour radio

professor would give his opin- ions. on a particular subject and, carry on a two-way , discussion with any students who phoned in. The alterna- tive of having a l T.V. pro- gramme on ,which two or

LETTERS TO I’ THE ,EDlTbR

Dear Mr. Associate Editor: Whht do you mean by

being the judge of the Christ- ians? I think my son you should take a good look at yourself. I must quote from the greatest book ever writ- ten The Ho& Bible: “Judge ye not *less you be judged.” “Let him who is without ain cast the first stone.” Remem? ber my son, God the Father watches your every move and that even the hairs ‘on your head are- numbered in His sight. So I feel before you get excited about Christian Circus you get down on your knees and ask God the judge of all tg forgive .you. For many Christians who are humble in His sight claim the Ressurection of the Lord Jesus Christ. You would be wise to read your Bible before your start comment- ing on Christianity. Are you prepared to carry the Cross of Christ?

“WHAT AM I DOING HERE?” I

t

,* .* ‘* * j Y

This is the same question that I asked myself a few. years before coming to universit I decided to do something a t

, and unhappy with the answer out it. I began thinking seriously

about going back to school. Working as a secretary in an office can be very interesting, ‘but I wouldn’t like to do it for the rest of my life. I also worked in a factory once and it is extremely boring, ypur mind slowly deteriorates putting cardboard partitions together!

Studying at university (although I don’t ‘plan to make studying my life’s work) is by far the most interesting and stimulating work I have ever done. People have said to me, “You don’t have to go to university to ‘study, there are hundreds of books on various subjedts in Public Libraries, etc.” But why do people do anything in groups? One reason IS that they want to be with others who, are doing the same things they are, have the same interests and similar goals. Studying at university, working toward some particular goal, is more stimulating than studying on your own, and when you get discouraged you have others around, professors and students, who encourage you with the I knowledge that discouragement comes to almost everyone who strives to attain something they consider worthwhile. The things you work hard for, are appreciated’ more than those easily obtained, and education is not easily obtained!

Most students going to uniqersity have no idea how lucky they are to enjoy the privilege of a higher education. After working ten years I‘realize that to have a chance to attend university is one that does not often present itself in one’s lifetime, and to take that chance and make the most of it will give a feeling of accomplishment equal to none! Now I don’t suggest that everyone work for ten years ‘before entering university, but a few years of workink makes you realize that learning is a never ending process that doesn’t stop when you leave school and a university education lays a firm foundation for all subsequent learning. It has been said that a little learning is a dangerous thing. But dangerous in what capacity? Learning, instead of, satiating the hunger present, only creates a greater appetite, and so ‘a little’ cannot be dangerous because it increases the hunger and serves as an appetizer. The more you learn the more you realize how much you have yet to learn, and how little you know!

All the material things you possess could very easily be ’ taken away from you. A crash in the stock market could deprive could

ou of all your invested money, ahurricane or flood ii ta e away’all your money invested in a house, a car

and all the other material things that our society considers so important, but money invested in an education can never be lost, you will have the results of this investment until ’ your very brain deteriorates, anything matter?.

and when this hippens,. does

And so ‘that is what I am doing here, making the best Eesinent that I know of, and the results are entirely, up

“What am I doing here ?” This question’has popped up in my mind many times since I &St enrolled on cam@us last fall. The answer has alwavs been the same. What else can I do? What am I trained for’? \Nothing. Thus, strange as it may seem to those who feel that. girls are .“fringe ibenefits” here only to get a man, I am here to get an education. I have ,,! chosen a career and am now proceeding in getting my degree.

I One word describes why the majority of students are

attending University. JOBTRAINING! I do not quarrel with technical training, whether it be in English or Physics, but I feel that technical ability is not the only aim of an education. ’

There is an attitude that very few students receive from their years at University that is required before one is educated. This attitude can be acquired only by the student himself. As the Reader’s Digest very aptly put it in the Feb. issue. “Students don’t come to University to educate them- selves. They throw themselves down in front of their teachers , -) like a’ pile of boards to be turned into furniture.” ’ 1 \ ’

Until’the students1 realize that there is more to an educa- tion than jobtraining, and until they realize that the other requirements must be obtained by, themselves, the Univer- sity of Waterloo will lag behind every other University in Ontario. ! I Dave ‘Smith, ScieBcei II ’ I . !

“Whds ihe Stori C~ur&l” It appears, again, as though Students’ Council is

putting. the cart before the horse in many of its decisions. A motion passed at the January 23rd Coun- cil meeting reads as follows: “That the Social Com- mittee be given the sanction of Students Council to arrange for a formal convocation dance for the 1962 graduation, class.”

Acting against the recommendation of the Social Committee, who had been asked to make a study of ‘the proposed dance, Students Council by- passed the problem of insufficient funds in its treasury, by suggesting the use of the Reserve Fund, set up mainly for the dissolution of bad debts incurred by student organizations. It would appear an injustice to other organizations, that Students Council should used this fund for its own planned deficits.

There is little doubt that the idea of a graduation ball, in strictly formal attire, is a good one. The dance, of course, would not be open to the student body, in general, but ‘rather, it would be restricted to some 100 graduates, faculty members,’ and pro- minent University and student administrators. A recent graduate survey revealed that 38 people favour- ed such a dance, while only 7 opposed it, as our Presidebt so willingly pointed out,, this represents a very favourable percentage - 80% to be exact. Un- fortunately, when all of the unanswered ballots are considered, the 84% drops, rather sharply to 38%. And how many of this 38a/, will actually be able to meet the necessary monetary outlay required to even partially cover the costs anticipated by such a venture?

Wouldn’t a semi-formal dance, with lowered costs, be more acdeptable to everyone concerned? With so little time remaining,’ how can the necessary pre- parations be made for a truly formal affair and who is to handle all of the work involved?

Past experiences have shown a determined effort on the part of the Council to jump headlong into things without proper consideration of the outcome

the Common Room issue being a case in point. &ly last meeting, it was informally suggested that some $50.00 of a recent $200.00 grant to the &usic Council, be loaned back to the Students Council, to help meet a request! by the Radio Amateurs’ Club’for

I much needed funds. ‘Unable, to meet the original request for $125.00, Students Council proposed $20.0& but grudgingly settled for $35.00. If the precautions taken by Students Council to protect its $200.00 bank balance, from organized clubs, are indicative of its paternal foresight, would it not seem reasonable to assume that at least as many protective measures be taken in the staging of a $700.00 plus formal dance ?

‘ M.R.A. AND FANATICS Cont’d. What is the alternative

then? It is not to outlaw or forbid any of these groups on the University campus or in modern society, some people really do need them: But what is needed is an increas- ing awareness of the ,individ- ual and society; people, who can be liberal and tolerant rather than narrow and fan- atical. The man who cannot claim excellence for himself is all the more ready to claim excellence for his religion, his ideology, his holy cause whatever it may be. ?‘o counter this we must have an increasing awareness of ourselves, as individuals, and not as mere cogs in a mighty cause. There must be an acceptance of free competi-

tion in a free society, a determination for an individ- ual to succeed or fail on his own merits, and not a willing- ness to bury individual re- sponsibility in some mass movement of the moment. Our present way of life has been built upon this in- dividualism, if we are to maintain it then we must remember to act as individ- uals, and not as mere ciphers in a multitude. ‘It is through the calm reason and gentle debate of orderly progress that society and civilization will ultimately progress; not through the abandoned hys- terics of some fanatical mass movement regardless of how noble its holy cause;

RehArmambnt Coni’d. superhuman. But they have found a power ,from without that frees them from things in their own natures over ‘which they have no control. In other words their strength lien in the Holy Spirit. And they have learned to pass this secret on to others. This leads me to’ believe that anyone can become complet- ely new. Men need no longer be beaten by the problems

I they themselves create. An- swers come when men listen to God and live by 1 His standards. And when men change situations change also - “Human nature can be changed. That is the root of the answer. National econ- omies can be changed. That is the fruit of the answer.

8’ World history can be chang- ed. That is the destiny of our age.”

, When I see men in govern-

,

ment, labour leaders and industrialists making M.R.A. their policy I am &rtain we can create a new world, free from fear and exploitation, We young people-are faced with living in this world for several decades to come. We have good reason to be con- cerned for the future. Armed with a superior ideology WC students can play .a sign%= cant part in remaking the world. I have decide to make this my ideology and my fight. What will you stand for? “Then it is the brave >man

ENGINEER LAUNCHES ROCKET . l ;

Bob Bavies 5-A M. E. with a select group of assist- Ants launched his first solid rue1 rocket January 28 after sporadic building - and pre- parations spread over the past four ‘years. The site carefully chosen for the at- tempt was an open valley south of the town of Cones- toga. The rocket’s builder 2nd his assistant, Carl Balk- will spent most of Saturday preparing the fuel - 75y0 zinc ’ to 25% sulphur - tamping 7% - pounds of it into the rocket and erecting the launcing ramp on Fe launching site. ! ‘

Sunday at 12.37 p.m. the five foot, 1% inch diameter steel pipe left its ten foot taunehirig rack at an esti- mated speed of 110 feet per second. Joe Kovacs and John Ebersole ignited the fuel with an igniter which con- sisted’of a 6 volt motorcycle battery connected by 100 feet of cord to a short piece of niehrome wire embedde.d in a black powder starter immediately above the .plas- tie rupture plate.

An estimated average ac- celeration of 1160 feet per second was developed by, a pressure of 1200 ps.i. (ap= proximately 350 pounds thrust) for a period of one. half second. The six pound rocket reached an estimatei maximum velocity of 58C feet per second while under thrust, establishing a glide path which carried it 2,OSC feet down range. The rotike! struck the frozen ground aI about 450 .feet per second and -was imbedded almosl three feet. The severe impacl mushroomed the nose of the rocket, bent the steel hods and dislocated one of the fins

The purpose of the launch1 ing was to test the ignitior system of the zinc-sulphur fuel, the nozzle shape and the rupture-plate size, all oj which behaved as ,expected making the launching ar almost complete success. Tht only imperfection was 2 slight veer under power (nom ticeable when the rocket first left the launch rack) due

“Tuition fees of students LWhere a 1 taxpayer was luring the year a student in Eull time attendance at a university in a course leading ;o a degree, or in full-time attendance at a college or 3ther educational institution in Canada in a *course at a post-secondary school level, the amount of any fees for his tuition paid to the uni- versity, college, or other kdu- zational institution in respect of a period not exceeding 12 months commencing in the year and not included in the alculation of a deduction under this paragraph for a previous year (except any sueh’feea paid in respect of a course. of less than 13 con- secutive weeks’ duration) .” This section is applicable’ to the 1961 and subsequent taxation years.

Fees covering studentiacti- vities, &thletic activities, health insurance, health ser- vices, the cost of books and supplies, and )residence fees are not deductible.

If the claim is in part pased on a certificate for the

Only the student whose earnings during a calendar year exceed his personal ex- emptions, and is thereby liable for Income Tax, may claim any deduction. For such students, the Bursar’s Office will supply on request and after the total fees for the session have been paid a certificate in a form approved by the Income Tax Depart- ment.

immediately preceding ses- sion it is not necessary that the student attach a copy of that certificate. It will be sufficient to merely complete the section at the bottom of the certificate for ‘ the latest session. A certificate would then relate always to a full session.,

A student is entitled to allocate the fees paid in respect of a session so that part may be claimed in the taxation year in which the session started and part in s . the taxation year in which the sessioti ends.

Any reasonable apportion- ment of sessional fees *be- tween taxation years will be \ acceptable. Normally, it would be expected that a 50-50 split would be made.

It should be noted par- I titularly that it is the student whois entitled to the Income

.

Tax deduction and not his ’ parent or some other person, even though the latter may. have paid the tuition fees on ’ the student’s behalf. So far as a parent’s own income tax return is concerned, the only significance of the amount of tuition fees is indetermining _ whether or not a son or daughter qualifies as a de- ’ pendent. Under the Income Tax Act, a student who , , might otherwise qualify as a dependent generally is dis- . qualified if his income for the year exceeds $950.00. In - * determining whether or not a dependent’s ineome exceeds $950.00 the amount of allow- able tuition fees is a de- duction that may be taken into account.

Great Men and Women In Our Midst

Recently one of my pro- fessors mentioned that the use of lecturers at universi- ties was outdated. Lecturers were used in Aristotle’s time to impart knowledge, by

‘word of mouth, from the

mention how lucky we are, as students of Waterloo, to have classes small enough to be able to ask questions in them. At some of the larger universities they have such large classes (300 or so) that it is almost impossible to ask questions. The lecturer com- es in, delivers his lecture and leaves.

well educated t0 the less well educated, or from pro- fessor to student. This was necessary because there was a lack of books at the time. However, now that there are many books written on var- ious subjects, lecturers could very weil be-dispensed with. I disagree with him, on the grounds that I believe he has much more to offer me as a unique individual, with his vast knowledge and experi- ence, than just as “an im- parter of knowledge directly related to the course which must be covered.” His ex- periences since leaving uni- versity, his theories which have been proved or dis- proved, his philosophies on life, etc., these are all of vast importance to me as a stu- dent.

Too many students go through university, cram- ming their heads full of facts, figures and the theories and philosophies of great men. These will, no doubt, enable him to write excellent papers on examinations, and covers the prescribed courses as set by the Department of Education, but what of these other great men, the profes- sors who are imparting this knowledge to their students? Do we ever get a chance to learn from them something of their own philosophies and theories? Sometimes in class you may get a few words of wisdom which permit you a ‘passing glimpse’ into their philosophies of life, which are but a few drops of water to a thirsty man. Time does not permit any more, there are classes to attend for both professors and students.

How many times have you heard a professor say at the close of a class, after he has answered questions which have taken considerable time out of .the allotted 50 min- utes, “Well, I didn’t cover as much as I had expected, but . . . “. It seems to me- regrettable that we don’t have more time for classes set aside for discussions on some subjects which are not normally covered in regular classes. At this time I might

I know there are many arguments against having extra time with professors. They have their -own private lives and are too busy as it is with work already con- nected with the university and outside as well. Also we do have clubs associated with some of our subjects, but I don’t think we are fully tapping our resources here at university. Soon we will be gone (belive it or not, one way or another!) and I have heard many regrets from university graduates, one of which was that they had learned a lot of facts but missed learning some things which would have prepared them better for the ‘outside world’. It is surprising how many mistakes you can avoid by listening to other peoples’ experiences, and their phil- osophies based on these ex- periences.

I have to smile when I hear of someone who has copied an essay from a book instead of writing it himself. He thinks he has fooled the professor., but he has only fooled himself. First of all he is paying a lot of money for nothing. How long would a garage mechanic last in a job if he couldn’t do the work required of him? No matter how impressive his certificate, he would most likely be fired if he couldn’t service a ear properly. Sec- ondly, he is not really fooling the professor. We must re- member that he too attended university, and if he did not use some of these tricks himself (my sincere apologies to all professors for even suggesting such a thing!) he at least has heard of some of his fellow students who have used them.

So don’t spend all your time with your nose in a book, when you hear of a professor giving a talk at one of the clubs on campus, or even somewhere else in the city, plan to attend.

N.F.C.U.S. Aims, Objectives and a few Historical Notes m n n

First in a series of six articles, designed to acquaint the students of the University of Waterloo with NFC US.

The National Federation of Canadian University Stu- dents was created to express and to strengthen the Cana- dian student’s j consciousness of himself as a student and as a Canadian, to give him a voice and an identity that could be found only in unity. NFCUS is the voice of Canadian university students on student matters of nation- al and international sig- nificance.

The objectives of NFCUS, envisaged by its founders 36 years ago, remain virtually unchanged. They ’ include promoting a better under- standing among all Canadian students of both language groups, promoting more co- operation and a greater co- relation among all Canadian universities, in order to keep an effective watch over the progress of student interests and academic freedom, and furnishing a means of creat- ing ties with national unions of students in countries all over the globe. NFCUS is a;kl attempt to provide an alternative to the sectionalism arising from Canada’s great ge&raphic and ethnic barriers. Cana- dians, blessed with many commodities in a land of continental dimensions and many natural resources, are themselves a scarce com- modity, forming isolated clusters of diverse cultural backgrounds and loyalties. NFCUS strives to achieve unity among the university youth of Canada, recognizing diversity as an asset but working towards harmony and national consciousness.

NFCUS was founded 36 years ago. The founding con- ference was held in Decem- ber, 1926, at McGill Univer- sity. Twenty delegates from ten univesities drew up the constitution, which was then ratified by their respective university unions. Through- out the history of NFCUS, though the structural organ- ization has varied with chan- ging times, the original spirit of the constitution has not been altered.

By the time the 1939 national conference in Mont- real, war had broken out and a general curtailment of acti- vities unconnected with the war effort was just beginning to be felt. The national headquarters were moved from Clyde, Alberta, to the University of Toronto. In 1940 NFCUS suspended its activities until after the war.

The actual rebirth of NFCUS dates from the tenth conference, held in 1946 at the University of Toronto. In 1951 a permanent secre- tariat was created, under the direction of a full-time sec- retary-treasurer, with an of- fice at Carleton University in Ottawa. The Travel Depart- ment began operating in 1952. In 1957 the secretariat was removed to its present offices in the Le Droit Build- ing in Ottawa. At present approximately 86,000 stu- dents - over 90% of the Canadian university popula- tion - are represented in the membership of NFCUS.

ORTS, PARADE In the past week, there were only two games played in

basketball. The Pioneers lost a very close game to Laurentian University in Sudbury as the Sudbury team scored a basket in the last five seconds to win 63-62. Bob Evans scored the winning basket and had a total of 11 points for Sudbury while Pat Gibson had 13. For the Pioneers, Dean Given had 31 and Don Demko 21. This was the feature game of the Laurentian University Winter Carnival weekend and was the first inter-collegiate game ever to be played in Sudbury.

The Warriors downed U. of T. Blues ‘79-53 in a game played at the auditorium. For the Warriors, Ray Palmer had 19, Harlan Krier had 18, Mike Bosch had 16, and Jim Hann had 10. The Warriors travel to London this Saturday to play Western in what could develop to be a battle for either first or second place. The Warriors must win all of their remaining games in order to stand a chance of first place. A spectator bus will leave Seagram Stadium Saturday afternoon at a cost of $2.25 per person. If you would like to go, contact either Don Demko or .Bill Steinburg before Friday noon.

In hockey the Warriors played two games last week. In a game at Dundas against Ma:, the Warriors lost 2-1 in a game that saw the Warrior goalie, Bob Judd, star in kicking out 50 shots. Don Houle scored the lone Warrior goal while Jim Mclellan and Bob Pond counted for Mae. In their second game the Warriors lost to O.A.C. by 9-4. Grant Neville, Gary Pfaff, Dave Hutton and Don Houle scored for the Warriors. For O.A.C., Bob Alexander had 5, Roy . had 2, and Sawyer and Smith each had one.

In intramural sports, both Basketball and Bowling have finished their regular schedules. In basketball, L. Eng. had 8 points, Arts 6, Science 6, Upper Eng. 4. In the sudden death semi-final played Monday night, Peter Lewis was high scorer with 10 points as Science downed L. Eng. 40-16. For L. Eng., Bob Benedetti had 10. Mike Whitney led Arts with 15 as they ousted Upper Eng. by a 32-26 score. Bernie Long had 10 for the losers. Next week, at 8.00, Science meets Arts in the Championship game and at 7.00 L. Eng. meets Upper Eng. in a consolation final.

In bowling, the final standings were as follows: Arts, 1762 pins; L. Eng., 1726; Science, 1149; with Bill Steinburg of Arts bowling the high single of 194.

The final games of the intramural hockey schedule will be played tonight at the Waterloo Arena and then the playoffs will start next week.

Sous la botte de Anglais l 8 8

Pour faire suite a mon article paru dans l’edition du 18 janvier oh je ne eitais qu’un exemple parmi bien d’autres, je vais vous entre- tenir sur la fagon dont Mes- sieurs les Anglais essaient de , nous detruire depuis 1867.

La Confederation de 1867 est en somme l’application de principes prevus dans la Charte de 1’Acte de l’Ame- rique Britannique du Nord en vue d’unir geograhique- ment les territoires qui com- posent le Canada et morale- ment les individus qui l’ha- bitent.

Aux yeux de Messieurs les Anglais la Confederation n’e- tait qu’une _ tactique tem- poraire afin de ne pas ruiner les chances d’assimilation.

Aux yeux des Canadiens francais, la Confederation semblait un acte heureux qui leur avait permi d’ar- rather quelques bribes de liberte apres un siecle de luttes inouies. 11s esperaient enfin vivre dans un pays bien a eux.

Qu’elle utopie, c’etait bien ma1 connaitre ces Messieurs les Anglais. Comme ils , avaient besoin de la province de Quebec pour faire fonc- tionner leur Confederation ces /: Messieurs les Anglais firent aux dirigeants du Que- bee de belles promesses com- me le libre exercice des droits de la race et de la religion.

Mais qu’avons nous vu? En 1871, le Francais fut chasse de Nouveau Bruns- wick; en 1877 le FranCais chasse des ecoles de 1’Ile du Prince Edouard et en 1890 des ecoles du Manitoba.

S.V.P. Messieurs les An- glais, avant de dire que lorsque nous reclamons I’IN- DEPENDANCE du QUE- BEC, nous trahissons la Con- federation, pensez y un peu avant de nous jeter la Pierre. ++
