Dr. Vogel Sprott will be among the lecturers and resource personnel con- ducting the course on Alco- hol Problems sponsored by the Addiction Research Foundation and Yale Uni- versity, to be held this year at the University of Toron- to, June 18 to 29.

VANCOUVER (CUP) - - - American university stu-

dents turned up here to help picket an American embassy.

Five Seatle students turned up Sat. March 10 to pro- test with 400 University of British Columbia students against the U.S. decision to resume atmospheric nuclear testing.

The quintet - who said they would rather be anony- mous and not say from what university they came - con- sidered themselves “awful- ly cheesed off” with Ameri- can foreign policy. All five had just been called up in the last draft.

MECHANICAL ENG. CLUB -

This article has been written in order to inform those interested that a Mechanic- al Engineering Club has been formed. The purpose of this club is, as its name suggests, to further Mech- anical Engineering on the campus of the University of Waterloo. Although this club and its activities will tend to appeal to those in Mechanical Engineering, membership is open to all students who are ‘interested.

The \officers of this club as follows: President - Bob Nash, Vice-President - Ed Martin, Treasurer - John Maruscak, Secretary - Allen MacLuckie, and the class reps. - Al Robb (4th. year), Lloyd Ito (3rd. year), &d Mel Patterson 2nd. year).

The club intends to hold future plant tours, seminars and various other activities of interest to the members. Those interested in becoming members should check the bulletin boards and future issues of The Corypha- eus for the time and place of the meetings. Additional information about the club m&y be obtained from any of the above officers..

J. c. s.

Let the scent of lotus blos- soms, the cool music of Har- vey Smith, and the exotic decor of the Far East wisk you away from the drab surroundings of Waterloo. Leave your worries behind as you enter the gateway of oriental splendour to the fifth annual Engineers Spring Ball.

On Friday, May 11, 1962, Seagram Gym will be trans- formed into a garden of Eastern beauty so engineers may reign as Oriental Po- ten&&es.

Plan to attend this social highlight of the year sponsored by the Engineering Society of the University of Waterloo. Tickets (at $5.00 per couple) may be purchased soon from your class representa- tive.

TORONTO (CUP) The Ryerson Institute of

Technology is going to hold a model parliament next year. This will be the first time for a parliament at Ry- erson..

President-elect Bill Geno- va made the motion on a re- commendation from the New Democratic Youth group at RIT.

All three political clubs on the campus are in favor of the parliament. _

Thursday, April 12, 1962, saw the official opening of our Engineering Building by the Hon. John P. Robarts, Q.C., Prime Minister of Ontario. In his official address for the occasion, he gave many interesting figures concern- ing education in Ontario, and its growth during the past two decades.

“In 1945, there were five full-fledged universities in the province. Today, there are a dozen . . . . latest calcu- lations indicate that the potential undergraduate enrol- ment, provided space is available, will, early in the 1970’s, be over 110,000 - or three and one half times our present enrollment.”

Provincial grants to universities for the fiscal year 1962-63 amount to nmrly forty-five and one half million dollars. This includes twenty-three million for maintenance grants and nearly twenty-two and one half million dollars for capital and special grants. This is just under three times the provincial expenditure for our entire educational system in the 1943-44 fiscal year.

Up to the end of the 1962-63 fiscal year, the provincial government will have given the University of Water- loo nearly 2.4 million dollars in maintenance grants and 7.3 million dollars in capital grants, or a total of 9.7 million dollars. The toal grant for the-present fiscal year alone will be nearly 2.7 million dollars.

FOR TWISTING INDS (and Bodies) An Interview with Chubby Checkers by CAROL FREE-

It was a memorable day when I met Chubby Check-

MAN, The Ryersonian.

ers. While others worried about one of the worst bliz- zards in Toronto’s history, or worried whether John Glenn would make it, yours truly, fearless, intrepid re- porter that I am, made like Sergeant Preston of the Yukon.

I mushed across the froz- en arctic wastes of Metro Toronto to meet the King of the Twist.

Chubby, known to his old friends as Ernie Evans, still lives with his parents in their home in Philadelphia. Now 20, and a great success after three years in show business, Chubby still re- members the years from 8 to 17 when he worked in a chicken market. Every time he has a new success “Mom tells me to pray,” he said.

Chubby is either very religious, or he’s hedging his bets. Around his neck he wears both a mezuzah ( a Jewish religious symbol), ,and a St.Christopher medal.

I asked Chubby what he thought of those who call the twist immoral.

“There are always people

I keep telling people, once they start twisting, they

who go with nothing.

matter what you give them,

said

they won’t like it.

Chubby in answer to anoth- er question. “How can one person or one small group of people stop others from doing what they really want to do?”

How much longer does Chubby think the twist will last? “A long time, maybe 15 years.” With a slight smile he admitted that he didn’t think that he could stick with it for that long.

“I’ve already lost 40 pounds from twisting. I have three wardrobes at home. One is for use when I’m weighing about 255, one for when I’m about 220, and one for when I’m about 200, ‘as I am now.”

And for those who think the twist is a back-breaker, Chubby says: “We are all too soft, we’ve got things too easy. That’s why most of us, including me, are overweight .” As a person, Chubby talks and acts like the’ boy next door. That is, if the boy

AKS AT OPENING The following comments

,are taken from a speech given by Dean Wright at the opening of the Engineering Building, April 12, 1962.

Less than five years ago* this was farm land, and there were no students, no faculty members, no laboratories, no library, no research, and even, no university save in ‘a dream - the realization of which today undoubtedly represents one of the most remarkable university developments at any time in any place. Much of the development to this

stage can be attributed to the adoption of the idea, new in Cantida at least, of the co-operative form of education in engineering. Without this, it seems clear that there would be no such development to see today.

I would hope that this will not be the only novel or radical thing that we will do. True, universities become ponderous and mind- ful of tradition as they age, but surely of all organisms in our society, universities in their schol&rship must

A CRITICAL SlTUATlOlY q l l

James Russell Lowell once remarked, “If I were asked what book is better than a cheap book, I would answer that there is one book better than a cheap book, and that is a book honestly come by.”

It is quite evident that certain members of our “glor- ious institution” are not in agreement with Mr. Lowell. For, over the past year or so, there has been a continual disappearance of books from both the existing libraries on campus. These missing books coyer subjects ranging from sex to political economy, and at present there are approximately 90 missing.

Someone is making a habit of removing books from the libraries without signing them out. Or perhaps to be a little more punctilious, one should say that someone is stealing books from our libraries. Yes, stealing is the word, for the missing books did not remove themselves from the library. They were deliberately taken and it is a reasonable assumption that the offenders are members of this institution. There have been cases in which books have been signed out and have then been lost by the per-’ son who borrowed them. However, these cases are the exception and are usually regarded as unavoitible, for at least there is some record of the last user of the book.

The more damaging incidents are those in which books just disappear from the shelves and are not missed until inventory is taken or someone requests them. The library has no record of the last user in these cases and

1 is left with no alternative but to write them off as a loss. The loss is shared by all of us and it is on the increase over the past few months.

The .question that arises is, “who is responsible for’ the theft of these books ?” It of course cannot be an- swered until the people responsible have been caught. The staff in both libraries keep a sharp eye out for prob- able offenders, but to little avail. Stealing books is an exceptianally easy crime to commit in the library. One just has to wailk into the library, remove a book from the shelf and at an opportune time, leave the library with the book adequately concealed in a brief case or under some other books. The library staff is powerless to de- tect such offences in almost all cases because they are few in number (compared to library users) and usually Busy.

As usual, the sad part about this whole situation is that we must all suffer because of the action of a few dishon- est and selfish people in our midst. The books in the library, are there for everyone’s use. If they disappear, we must do without them until it is seen fit to effect their replacement, and this is usually. a lenghy process.

This information may come as a shock to many students at this university but such is the existing situation. The University of Waterloo is by no means unique with regards to this situation as it exists in many other univer- ities across Canada. Quite the contrary, for we would be unique as a university if we were without this t‘afflic- ion”.

Wherein lies the remedy to this senseless behaviour of a very small majority of our numbers? Several theories such as the issuing of books over a counter on a “sight un- seen” basis, and an “open your parcels for inspection before leaving” system, have been put forward as a possible means of reducing the number of books lost.

Surely we, the so called “intellects” of our society, can offer a better solution to this problem than those im- practicable ones mentioned above. It is up to each of us to do his part in preventing any further occurences of missing books. How? By becoming aware of the situation and policing each other if necessary. To many, this may sound crude and offensive but it is the only way to deal with the crude and offensive people who are missing our libraries. The offenders must be sought out (crime catches on much the same as anything else) before the situation gets out of hand, and dealt with by the Student’s Council or local authorities if necessary.

presently missing from both libraries. If you know the whereabouts of any of these books, please notify the li- brarians. I

ABUNDANT LIFE by Arthur Wiltse

The joy of living, the growth of character, the development of intellect and the material rewards, which we vaguely group together &!s ‘The Abundant Life,’ are found only along the rough road of endeavor.

The More Abundant Life cannot be voted in by legis- lative decree. It is brought about by the operation of inescapable laws. We work hard in order that we may play hard. We suffer greatly to enjoy greatly. We know humility in defeat and disaster. Out of victory comes exaltation.

An Abundant Life is a life of active toil and effort. The activity may be mental or it may be physical. To be perfect it should be both. No mental or material wealth can be sored up if ease is preferable to effort.

It required the brilliant mind of Tennyson to put in Ulysses the brave philosophy of a busy life. I am a part of all that I have met . . . How dull it is to pause . . . . . To rest unburnish’d, not to shine in use !

The problems of life are always new, but their solution is arrived at by the ex- ercise of qualities as old as time. -Those qualities are controlled by neither king nor congress. Within each man’s soul lies a willingness to pay the price and win the reward. Neither prince, president nor potentate can fix that price - can gurantee the delivery of abundance.

Active work and respon- sibility bring on experience. Experience unites with knowledge. Time brings reward. All of these collectiv- ely are The Abundant Life. Man becomes a part of all that he meets. If he meets nothing he becomes nothing. Like bold Siegfried he absorbs the strength of his dragons - the problems met and mastered.

What is more soul-satis- fying than an abundant life earned by work ? What knowledge wrung from bit- ter experience ? What character is finer than t&t de- veloped humbly out of disaster and triumph in active everyday life ?

Hard work and high in- telligence are still the basis of a prosperous country. No law can be devised which will kill individual enter- prise without killing all en- terprise. We have demon- strated in the best possible way that individual ambiti- on is a productive attribute.

If the term collective bar- gaining could be supplanted by collective effort, collective efficiency, collective honesty, collective square- dealing, collective love of our fellow men - we would have the greater abundance which is so desirable.

Out of the strife and tur- moil and hardship of today will come the strong leader- ship of to-morrow. Having encountered much the new leaders will gain much. New men with brains, new men with courage, new men willing to work will come packing through this slough of despond, striking down the wrong and battling for the right just’ as Great Heart fought and b&tled

SECOND MAGNITUDE by Allan Go1

Whatever happened to the adult horror movie ? I know they once existed because I’ve seen several on tele- vision. Some may quarrel with the adjective “adult” but all will agree that many of these pictures had qualities entirely lacking in most of today’s insulting efforts.

In earlier days we had such healthy plots as the psych- opathic psychic meeting his end in flaming, secluded m&n- sion while a bespectacled, contemplative Oriental stood by muttering, “It is Cosmic Law.” That summed it up; we knew that it was Cosmic Law. Or take the case of Dr. X, a brilliant physicist until his brain injury, when he dis- appeared. He’s in the Andes, of course, working on his space-matter identity machine. It’s not long before we realize that he is hopelesslly insane, as witness his fanatic- al refusal to publish in the technical journals. There is complete logic and justice in his being reduced to anti- matter and consequently blowing himself and his laboratory out of existence.

These were the good old days, remember, when we had that comfortable, superstitious feeling that one didn’t tamper with the machinery of the universe without ter- rible consequences.

What do we have today ? Slimy, dripping, poorly- zippered things carrying off pubescent maidens to a fate deserved only by the directors of these B epics. At the risk of being obvious, I must point out that the wretched creature (the girl, not IT) is saved by some clean-cut Am- erican soldier - the Russians won’t co-operate in disposing of the menace - who will marry the girl on his first week- end pass.

Or we have the mad surgeon (the medical theme is big in entertainment these days). Expelled from the profession for some heinous offence, possibly for advocating social- ized medicine, he is now concerned with creating a bio- mechanical monster. His activities apparently amount to carrying around stained parcels of severed human anato- my that his apelike assistant (an accidental product of the doctor’s earlier efforts) proceeds to unwrap for a gory close-up. The doctor, of course, is lynched by ,an angry mob of townspeople whose chickens his assistant has been killing.

As I see it, there are two essential differences between the pictures of the two eras. In the earlier movies, the wonder or horror arose from an idea; today, when ide- as just aren’t box-office, things from beneath the sea or even enlarged house-flys are presented for our bemuse- ment. Secondly the resolution of the situation used to be in a brad sense, natural - Cosmic Law, if you like. Now the mob, or the army (representing the organized power of the mob), triumphs.

There is no need for the present state of affairs. Much good material is available: Richard Matheson, Ray Brad- bury, M. R. James, to name but a few,. have written enough to be a superior source of stories for the next 50 years.

* * * In this theme, a periodic source of amusement may be _

found in the advertisements of horror movies. News- papers that are quite vehement in condemning contemp- orary immorality (that is, anything that the church, good citizenship, &td corruption of governmental officials do not allow) will unblushingly run movie advertisements that read like come-ons for a sadist’s playground.

We see a fetching lass in evening dress being carried off by the Mole People, for instance. From the mechanics of the situation it quite evident that only her ample nram- mary endowment saves her the embarrassment of losing her entire costume. Or note the position of the monster’s hands (paws, tentacles, etc.). After a time sanctimonious editorials appear farcial, at least in the light of advertising policies.

* * * If you’re interested in a good serious Western (or if

you don’t believe there is such a thing) you might try “Wel- come to Hard Times”, E. L. Doctorow, Signet 50 cts. This book has good characterization, violent, plausible action, and a powerful symbol in the Bad M&n from Bodie. Some of the grown-ups may recognize him.

it in John Bunyan’s immort- al story.

There are two kinds of Abundance - material and mental. Both are the result of work. Not the slothful1 but the clean, not the lazy but the hard-working, these are people who have paid in effort for the joys of success. They have injured no one in creating wealth. On the contrary, they are the world’s benefactors.

For the dullard then, the Abundant Life is ever-elus- ive. The dullard is unwilling to pay the price and win the reward. Carry him along with gift and dole, feed him at the public trough, organ- ize him into howling mobs, legislate for him alone,

make his rights the wrongs of others, let him stone and club and main, let him de- stroy instead of create, let him break the law, win his vote with hue and cry - but the quagmire of poverty and want will hold him still. Old Nature is an honest provider. She pays for production and rewards efficiency alone.

The people of abounding energy, those who rejoice at opportunity to work, the studious, the efficient, the courageous, the kindly, the foursquare, these are they who will know the joy of living in its fullest and tru- est sense, these are they who will love the Abundant Life.

UNIVERSITY EDUCATI 6 EN1

Is there really a difference between an education and a degree ? After a few moments meditation, one is obliged to say yes. Arts and Science will say, “Well at least we are trying to attain both.” The Engineering student, on the other hand, will retaliate by simply stat- ing, “What can I do; I have no time?

As an Engineering student, one is apt to feel slightly lower in quality (certainly not quantity) re- garding extracurricular lac- tivities. I feel that if a poll were taken among Engi- neering students, the majority would prefer to receive an education along with their degree. We can liken night and day to the difference between the two. Someone recently jested in reference for asking an En- gineering student why he did not participate in school activities. The Engineer deftly manipulated his slip- stick and calculated that his 32 hours per week allowed him no extra time. Also the cartoon of the freshman being struck by the “Work, load” was humorous or should I say ironical. These are not jokes. They are simple fact.

One does not receive a B. SC. for being a proficient foot ball or hockey player, being a member of N.F.C.U. S. or any of the other num- erous clubs. There are certain obligations at the end of the year called examina- tions and in order to be pro- moted to the succeeding year, one must attain . . etc. etc.

Answer me this: - What can an individual or even the mass of Engineers do? My opinion is that most will put their degree ahead of education. Granted, there are certain Engineering students who do donate some- thing towBrds the “cause”. TO these fellows I raise my cup, for I envy them.

A lack of individual participation can be seen in the

N vs. INEERING DEGREE

general school spirit. May be I should have used a dif- ferent term for most of us Engineering students left “animal” behind in High School. In a school where there is such a majority of Engineering students (year round) it is pathetic that the Arts and Science are prov- iding all the color to school life. But, we ape going to be the best engineers. As I am not in a position to judge, I often wonder to myself if all other Engineering courses are the same.

Upon “graduation” ? ? most engineers in general will remain just as uncom- mitted as in their school days. How n&my professional engineers are actively en- gaged in political circles, community programmes etc. ? I know the answer for I worked with professional engineers for a few years before returning to a university education (or should I say degree). Very few of these trained men can crawl out of their self-made ruts. One only has to leaf through engineering maga- zine& understand manage- ment periodicals, etc. to find that the professional men themselves are worried about social position and society contributions.

Well, Arts and Science, after your m&ny months of “gentle” remarking on Waterloo’s Engineers and their downfalls, I hope I have provided you with a partial answer. It simply boils down to the fact that we don’t have enough time to receive an education, just a degree. Perhaps the new four-month plan will work out better; we will see next fall. Even though the afore- mentioned is my opinion, I feel most Engineering students will support my stand. Now I must go back to my slide rule, for I have lost a few precious hours and writing on such trivial subjects will not help me attain my “degree”.

at Opening Cont’d. look objectively at their own image and patterns to determine whether their practices match their principles as society evolves around them.

Certainly the next decade, next quarter of a century at the most, will require universities, and in fact all of society, to view themselves dispassionately to save what is of value before all might be swept away in a time of change which will make the past half century look as pedestrian as some distant time in the middle ages.

Although the role of the universities in society will become much more critical in the next decade or two, not only because of the trends noted, but because of the massive influence of new enrolments that have been clearly anticipated for some years, it is hardly possible to anticipate directly the potential roles of this university or this faculty in the future.

Nevertheless, one can see that a radical view of university responsibilities for the preservation, dissemination and creation of knowledge and learning will probably lead to more direct participation as society tends to adjust to the new era indicated while pre- serving goals and values; wil lead to a vastly increas- ed concern for both continuing and advanced education for those already past the first degree - and here the principles of co-operative education may h&e an even greater impact than they have had in the undergraduate school - and final- ly will lead to an ever-greater concern for and awhre- ness of research not only within the university but from and by all parts of society as the key to the future - our intellectual abili- ty. I am confident that this faculty from its strength today, and with its continuing development, will be pre- pared adequ4tely to fulfil1 its responsibilities.

Campus Highlights l n n

At the University of Waterloo every undergraduate .as instilled in him the fact that the best kind of publicity or our Universiy originates from the student himself. In rder that each individual be better informed, a summary )f the unique features of our campus has been compiled ,nd is presented below.

- EXPERIMENT IN GROWTH of TELEPHONE & HYD- RO POLES. There are only a few intellectual centres in the world

oday that are carrying on advanced research in the growth of telephone poles. The University of Waterloo s one of them. It has be& found that telephone poles ;row best when planted in the middle of a well landscaped ection of campus. These poles must be planted after andscaping has been completed; otherwise they would blend in with the surroundings and lose their effect. A Nurious ring disease (yellow, black, and white rings) has ap- beared on some of those poles. Fortunately this diseae vas not fatal like the .Dutch Elm disease so the poles were lot cut down. As a matter of fact, more poles are being slanted every day.

! - ELEVATED BIRD SANCTUARY Because of the lack of suitable facilities at ground

evel, countless wires have been strung accross the campus #o accomodate birds who wish to rest on their flights ‘rom here to there.

These wires have been strategically located in order o utilize the natur’;tl fertilizer provided by the birds. This aves buying commercial fertilizer. With this extra money nore wires can be strung up to accommodate more birds. 1s a.result we should have the greenest grass in Waterloo Zounty, provided the sun shines through. I- INSTANT TREES

Because of the top s&ret nature of this program, very ittle is known about instant trees. These trees usually appear without warning and are accompanied by clods of nud, oversize holes, and tire ruts across grassed areas.

- 1 - DIRECT LINK WITH OUTSIDE WORLD This amazing fete is accomplished with the coopera-

#ion of the Canadian National Railways. They have agreed ,o continue running their freights between Kitchener and Zlmira through our campus. 1 A ripple of excitement can )e seen in all true campus engineers as the “Elmira Ex- jress” rolls through. i - UNIQUE LANDSCAPE DESIGN

A LETTER TO ’

Montreal International Airport, Dorvtal, P.Q.

April 18, 1962. Dear Sirs:

This letter is to advise on the progress of Nordair’s reduced student fares for students of Canadian universities.

These fares which came into effect on March 1, 1962 have had a very excellent reception by the students in the universities along our Seaway Route. Identifica- tion has been no problem through the use of the NF- CUS cards or university identification cards.

Full fare paying passeng- ers have taken preference over students but our system of listing has given an assurance that once a student is boarded on the air- craft he is carried through to his ultimate destination. These student fares which expire on May 31, can be of value to students attending universities served by us. The addition of Hamilton to our route now gives us the following stops: Windsor - Sarnia - Hamilton Toronto, Kingston and Mon- treal.

Nordair hopes to see the continued acceptance of these student fares during this year and during the next academic year with reduced fares commencing on October 1, 1962. Thanking you for your co- operation, we remain,

Yours very truly, NORDAIR LTD. D. E. Winter,

CUP NEWS RELEASE: 7 - 51.

MONTREAL (CUP) - - - The ‘Loyola Peace Corps’

is once again making plans to send voluntary workers to the United States.

An announcement in the Loyola ,News, lists possible places to work in El Paso, New York, and Chicago. ’

“In El Paso, people are needed to work as monitors for children’s games . . and as genuine social workers who would deal with problems of families or individu- als in the slums of the city,” says the announcement.

Loyola is a Roman Catho- lic college, and the peace corps activity is carried on under religious auspices.

Cup News Release: 7 - 53 OTTAWA (CUP) - - -

The organization of information - - that’s what is at the base of the newest idea of the National Feder- ation of Canadian Univer- sity Students.

NFCUS International Af- fairs Vice-president, Paul Becker, has announced the establishment of a Student ’ Government Research Serv- ice.

Mr. Becker, in describing the service, said there are four chief purposes in having such an operation. Its main benefit will be to pro- vide thoroughly document- ed reports on student affairs for student leaders.

“It has become increas- ingly clear in recent years that the problem of contin- uity is the most nagging dif- ficulty plaguing student government,” said Mr. Becker.” It is constantly standing as an obstacle to its consistent improvement and greater efficiency.”

The SGRS may also undertake periodic publications. “These could serve as forums for the discussion and debate. of these problems by student leaders,” explained the IVP.

It might also undertake studies and surveys re- quested by member students’ council; be ~pointed out. r

Under consideration now are three studies: “The Structures of Local Student Unions in Canada”; The Financial Structures land Budgeting of Local Student Unions”; and “The Financ- ing and Operation of the Student Newspaper.”

“We hope we can have these studies completed in time for presentation to the XXVI Congress this fall,” noted Mr. Becker.

OTTAWA (CUP) - - The Ry.0 erson Institute of Technolo- gy has’come out as a leader in the NFCUS National Lit- er&y Contest.

Two Ryerson students led the winners in the Short Story section of the Nation- al Federation of Cana&ian University Students’ compe? titions. John J. Clarke, with his story “They Do Not Dis- criminate” took first place; Brian Stewart with “Tale of a Young Tbrero”, stood second to Clarke.

In the Poetry section, R. W. T. M&Lean of Waterloo University College placed first with “1985”. Second was Lionel Kearns of the University of British Co- lumbia. His poem was called “Season”.

Tom Marshall, of Queen’s University, was given hon- orable mention for his work entitled “Milktruck.”

In the Essay section, first place went to Donald Phil- lipson of the University of Alberta. His piece was called “Canadian Literary Ma- gazines Today.” A fellow Albertan, at the Calgary campus, Maurice Yacowar was placed second for his essay: “Some Notes on the Firing of College Editors.”

Frances Drury, contest chairman, said that there were 26 short stories sub- mitted, eight essays, and 40 poems.

First place winners receive cash prizes of $50 each; second place winners receive $25 each. The money is donated by the Molson Brewing Company.

Judge for the short story section was Mr. John Mar- lyn, an Ottawa novelist. Christopher Young, editor of the Ottawa Citizen, judg ed the essays, and Douglas LePan, professor of English at Queen’s University, judg- ed the poetry.
