XXXI, NO. 37 TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 1968 8 CENTS Meeting on Wednesday Maintenance offered new wage by David Bowman A meeting will be held on Wednesday morn- ing between university officials and representa- tives of the Norris and Hall Buildings mainte- nance staff to decide on a new compromise wa- ge offer proposed by a Quebec Labor Board conciliator. Meetings between the two bodies have been underway since September of 1967 and the con- ciliator was brought in December after negotia- tors for the two sides reached a deadlock. There are two points of contention to be de- cided upon; hourly wages and allotment of ac- culumated sick leave pay when an employee resigns from his job on the staff. Mr. John L. Hall. Director of Personel for Sir George claims that funds are not presently available to meet wage demands suggested by the mediator. “We have approached the Dept, of Education with our problem”. Mr. Hall told the georgian, “but they have not indicated that we would re- ceive additional funds were the proposed pay increases to be agreed upon. The counciliator has worked on the premise that Sir George em- ployees should receive parity with employees of other universities performing the same func- tions. However, the factor of available funds must also be considered. If substantial raises are given to these men the wider ramifications must be taken into account. Other employees are also going to ask for raises and new con- 'trQr»t ne^otistior*?”. A spokesman for the maintenance men said that the conciliator’s proposals are acceptable to the union and that they are on a par with sa- laries received by employees of other univer- sities. The university's proposed offer would grant salary increases of approximately 25% but sa- laries would still not be equal to those paid elsewhere. The mediator’s salary promises in- volve an overall salary increase of approxima- tely 40% and are on a par with those of other schools. The various salary offers are indicated below: based on a 40 hour, six day long week, hourly salaries. presently university 13/6/67 offer as of 1/6/68 original union demand floormen 1.32 1.65 1.80 2.30 cleaners men 1.32 1.65 1.80 2.30 women 1.32 1.65 1.80 2.30 stockroom and receiving 1.55 1.85 2.00 2.40 CONCILIATOR’S PROPOSALS retroactive ; U 'fi'fi/ ........... retroactive ... 3 13/6/68 floormen 1.78 1.92 2.02 cleaners men 1.78 1.92 2.02 women 1.58 1.78 1.88 stockroom and receiving 1.98 2.12 2.22 Sir George may have to operate on $6 million It has not yet been made of- ficial that Sir George will recei- ve an operational grant of $6,522,000 from the Quebec Government. Reports appeared Saturday and Monday in the La Presse and the Gazette that the opera- tional grants - the money given for operating the university in such matters as salaries and maintenance - were in. Supposedly “reliable sour- ces” in the government were quoted as saying Sir George would receive $6,522,000. Uni- versity of Montreal $23,171,000 McGill $21,909,000 Laval $22. 374,000, University of Sher- brooke $6,820,000 Polytech- nique $4,400,000, and Bishop’s $1,514,000. Vice-principal (Administra- tion and Finance i Dr. John Smola, commented that “The report is not official until the universities hear about it from the Department of Education - and I know it hasn’t progres- sed that far yet”. Officials at McGill are also upset over the report. Harry Thomas, Information Officer at McGill revealed that the heads of McGill issued a sta- tement Monday concerning the matter. The statement reads that the report on operational grants is a “confidential document waiting for official decision”. McGill’s officials (Principal H. Robertson and vice princi- pals1 regard the publication of some parts of the reports “ a breech of confidentiality and are particularly disturbed by the inaccurate figures and the uniformed interpretation that was given in the news report”. McGill received a grant of $7,612,000 in 1966 which was later raised to $14,000,000 in 1967 after controversy arose over the fact that the French- speaking University of Mon- treal had received a much lar- ger grant of $16,600,000. Ra- cical discrimination was ru- moured as the reason for Me Gill receiving the lesser amounts If the newspaper reports are true McGill's alleged grant of $21,909,000 would nearly tri- ple the 1966 amount. Information Officer Thomas does not know if this is a result of McGill’s previous complaints but feels that rather it is a re- cognition by the government of the place of McGill in the Province of Quebec - putting McGill “ on an equal basis” with the University of Mon- treal. However Thomas adds that “until the government official- ly decides, the figures may not be true”. Quebec Director General of Higher Education, Germai- ne Gauthier stated that he didn’t have “a single word to say on the matter - it is confi - dential and won’t be official until it comes from the head of the Department of Educa- tion - Jean-Guy Cardinal. Deputy Minister of Educa- tion, Hector Joyal also had no comment to add. by Karen SMITH * Senior Staff Writer Resolved; That the pro- posed constitution of the Students’ Association be adopted as presented.

We wished to assert that the ‘right’ of the student to have interviews on campus was a spurious issue, and that the morality of Ameri- can policy and her genocidal tactics are at issue. Now that the Board of Governors has chosen the same defense of the sta- tus-quo as was made at the student council open meeting we wish to state openly our objection. We understand that the Board of Governors has no op- tion but to allow recruiters on campus because of overwhel- ming student vote. The Board of Governors as final adminis- tration must follow the dictates of the community. However, the vote and only the vote can be used as justification. The u- niversity has no legal or moral duty to arrange employment or employment interviews for students. The greator ease of ar- ranging interviews on campus rather than at an agency or com- pany office, should be of lower priority in an educational ins- titution than the opportunity to confront students with the major conflict in our time and its’ relation to the student’s com- munity and his life. Only if the war and its political, social and moral implica-' tions are not serious then the issue of the ‘right’ to an inter-i view is debatable. Therefore, by implication, many students and governors so view the war issue. We cannot quietly tole- rate this attitude to the war among our colleagues. This war involves many innocent victims, many refugees, much mind-: less destruction, so many risks of nuclear holocaust. It de- mands that we speak to our own guilt as members of the socie- ty perpetuating this horror.

Maintenance offered new wageby David Bowman

A m eeting will be held on W ednesday m orn­ing betw een university officials and represen ta­tives of the Norris and Hall Buildings m ainte­nance staff to decide on a new com prom ise wa­ge offer proposed by a Q uebec Labor Board conciliator.

M eetings betw een the two bodies have been underway since Septem ber of 1967 and the con­ciliator was brought in D ecem ber after negotia­tors for the two sides reached a deadlock.

T here are two points of conten tion to be de­cided upon; hourly wages and allotm ent of ac- culum ated sick leave pay when an em ployee resigns from his job on the staff.

Mr. John L. Hall. D irector of Personel for Sir G eorge claims that funds are not presently available to m eet wage dem ands suggested by the m ediator.

Sir George may have to operate on $6 millionIt has no t yet been m ade of­

ficial that Sir G eorge will recei­ve an operational grant of $6,522,000 from the Q uebec G overnm ent.

Vice-principal (A dm inistra­tion and Finance i Dr. John Smola, com m ented that “The report is not official until the universities hear about it from the D epartm ent of Education - and I know it hasn’t progres­sed that far yet”.

Officials at McGill are also upset over the report. Harry Thom as, Inform ation Officer a t M cGill revealed that the heads of M cGill issued a sta­tem ent M onday concerning the m atter.

W A R -

The So lu t io n

It was while thinking about the game of chess that I finally cam e up with the solution to war.

People are right when they give that sic­kening line, “T here will always be wars. It’s hum an natu re .” But they a ren’t com pletely right. It is m uch m ore accurate to say that there will always be certain people from any generation who grow up with a desire to do­m inate the whole world, when they haven’t even got them selves under control. It is just ano ther form of insanity.

It is always one man who gets pow er over a country. One way or another he becom es the m ost im portant person in a country. If. as is likely, he happens in reality to be one of the above m entioned lunatics, he may plunge his country into a war. Why certain sections of the population blindly follow him is another, m ore readily seen m atter which is not essential to the problem of war.

It can now only be suggested as a hypothe­sis, but had the aim of the allies in W orld W ar 11 been solely to take Adolph Hitler dead or alive, then that war would have most certainly ended a lot sooner than it did. It is likely that H itler would have killed him­self m uch sooner, for instance. But despots are cunning. They also know hum an nature better than most. And they know that most people love to follow a cause. It gives them som e thing to live - o r die - for. Despots. Tyrants, w ant a lot to have happened because of them. They want to m ake their m ark on history. So they get a lot of people to form an arm y and take land, while they themselves sit far back in safety behind the lines. F riend­ly, unassum ing men are brought impersonnal- ly to grips with each other. Each trying to convince himself that he is fighting for his country, when if he stopped to think, if he was in the arm y of the aggressor, he would merely be fighting to achieve his rulers personal greedy ends. To satiate his leaders totally insane lust for pow er and recognition.

T he leaders of ancient times were always well to the fore in their arm ies, A lexander the G reat, A ttilla, they too may have been insane, but their m orals were not at such a low ebb that they let others lead their men into battle, if they had to have a battle. W hen a leader was killed, the war ended very soon after. This was true even up to the time of W olfe and M ontcalm . T heir soldiers were there in truth m ore for som ething to follow than to actually gain land. They never saw any of the spoils anyway - apart from merely a plot o f land here or there. They were never greatly b etter off for having fought, unless they w ere trying to repel an aggressor. They were pawns of a single king, and when the king got himself checkm ated, that was the end for them too.

This could ,sound a little bloodthirsty, but this would only be because m odern hum an beings are a little wishy washy when it com es to m aking decisions - m uch less a correct one. Purely passive resistance would be qui­te the right answer, that is if every one likely to get killed had achieved the same true self realization of it’s in; y tor - Jesus Christ (who

we all know was right, when it's easiest to know he's right;.

It is not because m odern leaders have be­com e cleverer that they no longer m arch into battle. It is just a sad revelation of how pover­ty stricken in moral values our society has becom e. It would not surprise me to hear som ebody say. “Yes, Johnson’s a clever fel­low. Real sm art. N ever goes anyw here near the battle .”

Johnson sits in the white house, m uch too old and feeble to be a man. Long ago he com ­m itted himself to business, and money. Most o f the ‘aggressive’ world leaders are the same. They don’t even want w ar for it’s rom antic aspect. They w ant war purely as a m achine for gain.

Now. the man who invented chess must have seen right through all this, because his game is a wonderfully clear symbol of what the aim of a war, if there must be a war, should be. T o take prisoner the leader of the coun t­ry. To let the aggressors ultim ately answer for their deeds, and they could personally be their own spokesm an at the time of re­ckoning in the victorious camp.

If all the man pow er used in the Viet Nam w ar for instance, was solely bent on neu tra­lizing Johnson and Ho Chi M inh, I feel ce r­tain that one or o ther would soon get a little tired of this stale m ate. They could publish their views in every world new spaper thus ensuring that the o ther M UST know what the aims of the o ther are, and the term s. If they were forced to do this, then it would be abundantly clear to the whole watching world if e ither was acting to satisfy a pow er habit they had got in to or to satisfy their greed. THEN we would see true hum an nature. Johnson would be seen as what he is - simply ano ther person. W ho would go and risk his life for the m onetary gain of another person?

The present war would of course be the m ost difficult one to apply this attitude to. because most people w hether they know it o r not have pretty well lost any faith and interest. But that faith and interest is ALL it would take to get the whole world wanting answers from Johnson and the o ther leaders. T hen too, would we see dem ocracy working for the first time since Plato conceived it.

M ost im portant we would see a sharp de­cline in the num ber of deranged people who lust for power, or at least a drop in the num ­ber who would try to attain the num ber one position, for m ost of their reason for wanting the position would have been made redun­dant. They would realise that they m ust be ready to becom e the prim ary target of any given army from a country they wished to oppress. He would also becom e the target of his own people should it becom e apparen t - through his reluctance to m ake publjc his views - that he was interested in having a war o r prolonging a war solely for his own per­sonal gain as an ordinary man.

For finally, it is of course a reflection upon ourselves that we can have such people as H itler, Johnson and o ther war m ongers as our leaders.

editorial

Poverty begins at home '

The current dilemma facing the maintenance em­ployees of this university is atrocious. Some of these men are supporting families of up to eight children on the pittance they receive for their labour. Surely in an "enlightened" academic community, the pro­blems that these individuals must face when they leave the Hall Buildings at night should be confronted and eliminated. Increasing their salaries is one way.

The original demands of the maintenance employ­ees union was not exorbitant. Even this they are pre­pared to compromise on and settle for inadequate wa­ges. Added to this is the University's reluctance to bargain with their representatives. They have been stalled for some months now, while the cost of living increases steadily.

The university administration cites reluctance on the part of the provincial government to increase its operational grant as a major factor in the stall. This is not unusual for the government of Daniel Johnson which settled the teachers strike last year through legislating them back to work, as it did with the bus drivers during the summer. Monsieur Duplessis would be proud.

A meeting between the union and university repre­sentatives has been scheduled for Wednesday. The maintenance employees have been extremely pa­tient in this matter. They have been stalled, and their reasonable requests have been ignored. If the univer­sity cannot reciprocate this attitude, a gross injustice will have been perpetrated and we, as accomplices would be guilty. The Students' Association and Facul­ty Association should express disgust with the way in which negotiations have been handled to date. They should also demand that funds for the proposed increases to be set aside immediately. Despite the government's reticence, funds must be provided, even if it means cutting out the frills that grace the halls of this university.

Older but wiserUndeterred by the naivity of som e of .their students, thirty

SG W U professors have couragiously chosen to m ake known the despair and indignation that they feel, regarding the ad ­m inistration's decision to a llow war profiteers the use of cam ­pus facilities. It is sad, indeed, when any generation must be shown by the generation that preceded it that the materialistic ethic is hollow and contempable. It would appear that the socie­ty that has afforded its offspring with hitherto unheard of affluen­ce has at the sam e time, infected it with the moral degeneration that is so characteristic of all a ledgedly civilized social enter­prises.

W e feel that the professors who have spoken out and pledged to substantiate their w orks with action are to be commended. They are setting an exam ple that their students would do well to reflect upon and to follow. The course they have committed them selves to is not the easiest nor the most popular one ava i­lable but they have placed conscience before comfort and in this w ay have graphically illustrated that their involvement in the university community extends well beyond that of m any stu­dents. It is obvious that we, as associate m em bers of this com ­munity can and should do no less.

Letters to the Editor

Carnival

replies

Editor, the georgian:

In response to the le tte r from m essers M acD onell. Fisher, and M cW illiam on the ‘derogatory lack of foreseight and selfish­ness’ shown by the Carnival staff, 1 believe a few things should be m ade clear to these gentlem en.

Firstly, one com plaint seems to centre about the fact that ID cards were necessary before tickets could be purchased. But yet the gentlem en ‘wish all students of Loyola, M cG ill’ e tce tera ‘a happy G eorgian C arnival.’

The ID policy was effected when tickets first went on sale and lasted for m ore than an hour of the two-hour run. As such, m ore than two thousand tickets were sold to ID-bear­ing G eorgians. But so many o ther G eorgians in line for tickets bitched at having to show identification, and so the policy was dropped in the final hour. H ere your reason for outside sales.

As for only those w aiting line Mondafy m orning being able to buy tickets, Carnival ticket sales have always been on a first-come first-served ba­sis. Even in exaggerated expec­tation, we never expected Place Des A rts tickets to be exhausted within two hours.

No advance publicity of ticket sales is not the case as notices were posted on all ticket booths announcing ex­actly when tickets would go on sale. The notice to this effect subm itted to the georgian was never printed.

And of the ‘bastards’ who are scalping tickets, a front-page story of that same georgian tells of all such persons caught being brought before Dean of Students, M agnus Flynn, ie.- such practices are not con­doned by the Carnival com m itt­ee. In fact, it was the Carnival com m ittee under the direction of chairm an Jim Rice, that suggested disciplinary action against scalpers. Enough said

on that subject.

As for com m ittee m em bers reserving the best seats, the gentlem en them selves write that ‘m em bers of the com m ­ittee should have first choice on the available tickets.’ T here are not 100. but m ore than 200 com m ittee m em bers-hard-work- ing com m ittee m em bers. And it was felt that these people were entitled to four tickets each, if so desired. (They paid forthem i.

And if any reader would like to pay a visit to the Carnival office, his o r her own eyes would verify that no com m ­ittee m em ber has the time to wait in line for tickets. These people are putting in up to twenty hours a week each to ­wards Carnival so that you gen­tlem en may enjoy yourselves. Can they not have the privile ge of picking up their tickets when they have time?

As far as those ‘best seats’ are concerned, the majority of com m ittee m em bers will be sitting in Corbeille and the rear seats of Parterre.Fair enough? And before com ­plaints arise, there are still good seats available for the Neil D iam ond show.

These gentlem en are quick to criticize. We invite them to spend a little time on the third floor and see what is going on in organizing this massive event--forthe benefit of all Georgians.

And then name us for la ck o f foresigh t and se lfish n e ss .

decision

Editor, the georgian:

T he kind of can t and ver­biage that some times em anates from the higher echelons of university adm inistrations are enough to m ake one despair about education. I am refer- ing to the statem ent issued b y . the Executive C om m ittee of the Board of G overnors on Friday. February 2nd. regard­ing recruiting for em ploym ent on the cam pus.

1 am not here concerned with the fact that in their de­cision to allow all com panies to recruit on cam pus the Board of G overnors chose to disre­gard com pletely a poll taken am ong the m em bers of the Fa­culty A ssociation which indi­cated that a clear m ajority d e ­sired that the Placem ent Offi­ce should be rem oved from the cam pus altogether. I should

have thought the faculty stand reasonable in view of the fact that (a) the Placem ent Office is NOT a part of the univers­ity but a federal agency , (b 1 it uses up space (free of char­ge!) which we badly need, and ( c 1 this would have avoided the now inevitable confrontat­ion.

W hat does concern me is the can t and verbiage in which this decision m asquerades. The Board of G overnors states that their decision to authorize open recruiting affirms “the right of every student to participate in p lacem ent interviews of his choice as part of his University experience.” If we reduce this verbiage to plain English it m eans that the Board of G o­vernors consider it is essential to the educational process of every student to be interviewed by his prospective em ployer on cam pus. W hile this may make sense to people who think edu­cation is big business, it is plain nonsense to anyone with an ink­ling of the nature and function of university education. W orse still is the can t about dem ocra­tic freedom which is in troduc­ed for em otional appeal. The fact is that no question of stu­dents’ rights is involved. No one is opposing any student’s right to choose his own kind of em ploym ent, o r to seek “place­m ent interviews of his choice.” These rights are in no way im­paired if their exercise involves a student to walk across the street to an off-campus P lace­m ent Office.

T he issue is and rem ains a moral one: w hether or no t we as a university are morally justified in supporting firms who contribute to the war in V ietnam . We do not wish to im pede any student joining such a firm, but by giving our facilities (free of charge) to such com panies we becom e ac­com plices to the w ar itself. And the war being w hat it is, this is a m onstrous perversion of eve­rything that a university stands for.

It is not keeping with the in­tegrity of the university that its Board of G overnors should issue a statem ent designed to obscure the real issue rather than to clarify it. Nor is it re­assuring to think that the Board of G overnors of this university would in. say. G erm any in 194Q~~ have perm itted H err K rupp to recruit for em ploym ent on cam ­pus.

T here are going to be de­m onstrations, and so - for the honour of this institution-there should be. T here may be vio­lence which would be deplora­ble, but the Board of G overn­ors would bear part of the bla­me.

Unsure future for

"non library”

Communications Board

Has anyone ever w ondered w hat goes on behind the desk in room H-437 (you know, the study hall i? If you have been labouring under the mis-con- ception that the room was re­ally an A rts Reserve Library, as it was advertised it would be three years ago, you are wrong.

It is true that three years ago there were concrete plans to transform this space into a Reserve Library, mainly, but no t solely, for the A rts facul­ty. However, according to Miss How ard, the University Librarian, there was conside­rable protest am ong students and faculty about the propos­ed move and it was cancelled.

T he gist of the p ro test against the move was that it would frag­m ent the then small library collection and would lead to problem s for students taking “border-line” courses like E co­nom ics which are necessary for program m es in two facul­ties, i.e. A rts and Com m erce. It was found that one-fifth of the books “on reserve” for Econom ics were also “on re­serve” for o ther courses in the C om m erce faculty. T herefore splitting up the collection would pose problem s for Com m erce students taking courses in Econom ics, as well as o ther .’fudents.

An additional problem was posed by evening students who claim ed that because the­re did no t exist duplicate ca­talogues in both libraries there would be needless running bet­ween the two libraries after books.

Miss How ard explained that if the collection were split, then duplicate copies of each reserve book would have to be m ade and kept in the main li­brary. A t the time of the move there existed some 4000 to 5000 reserve books and the library just did not have the funds to purchase or make additional copies of these books.

A nother problem faced by the library was the one of cons­tantly changing reserve lists. The books that are put on re­serve are done so a t the request o f faculty m em bers and these lists, found in the black three- ring binders in the library, are constantly being up-dated to m atch progress in the cour­ses. Thus books would be ta ­ken off and on the lists neces­sitating excessive problem s in paperw ork and in physical labour.

Miss How ard said that since the library m ade the decision to keep all the collection to ­

gether there has been no com ­plaint and no reason to doubt the aptness of the move.

T he space in Room H-437 is now being used as a work and storage area. In the sum ­m er of 1966 the library was fortunate to be given the m ajor part of the Engineering Ins­titu te of C anada's library col­lection. The over 15,000 volu­mes arrived in cartons and since that time the staff of the library have been busy sorting this m aterial and checking it against the present holdings so as to avoid unnecessary ex­penditures on books already possessed by the library. This has now reached the stage whe­re all the English language m a­terial has been processed and a start has been m ade on the foreign language books.

In addition the Science and Engineering Library on the T enth Floor is now alm ost com ­pletely full and old back is­sues of some journals are be­ing stored in the Study hall on the fourth floor and if needed are retrieved by runners.

T he future use of the space in H-437 is unsure and depends on w hether or no t a new libra­ry building is obtained soon. A t any rate the Science and Engineering Library will be full by the middle of this sum ­m er and the old issues of peri­odicals will still have to be kept on the fourth floor.

T he area is at least tem pora­rily ou t of bounds to students except for the area designed for study purposes.

Pending the acceptance of the new consti­tution of the S tudents’ Association, another new adm inistrative body will be im plem ented to cover all facits of com m unications m edia a t Sir G eorge. It will be called the C om m uni­cations Board, and will be com posed of rep re­sentatives from TV Sir G eorge, Radio Sir G eorge, the Publicity D epartm ent, A dverti­sing, the georgian, a representative of seconda­ry publications and a chairm an, secretary, and treasurer. Sitting as ex-officio m em bers of the board will be three representatives from the university adm inistration; the Inform ation Of­ficer, a delegate from the Dean of S tudents' Office, and a delegate from the Instructuai M edia D epartm ent.

T here are several reasons for the Students' A ssociation’s decision to change the structure of com m unications areas in the university. U nder the existing system, several m edia ope­rate independently of each o ther, often over­lap, and have little idea of the potentials of them selves or the o ther media. If Radio Sir G eorge and TV Sir G eorge were expanded, and co-ordinated at the adm inistrative level with the georgian. these audio-visual m edia could handle m ore rapidly and m ore com pre­hensively straight publicity and university news, leaving the georgian m ore space to cover features and com m entary articles.

Radio Sir George could keep students in the cafeteria and lounge areas posted on developm ents, while the geor­gian reporters were a t the scene taking notes for articles. Also, the same principle of com ­plete coverage would apply in the case of three seperate events happening at the same time in different locations.

T he Advertising departm ent, which now is fairly lim ited to the georgian would be expan­ded to cover both television and radio. Increas­ed revenues from advertising would benefit all media.

A lthough the instituting of the proposed Com m unications Board would raise the bud­get of the S tudents’ A ssociation, (areas like the Publicity D epartm ent are even now opera­ting on vastly inadequate funds) the advanta­ges to the university as a whole will be invalua­ble. Closed circuit television in all student areas, increased radio broadcasting, and an im proved adm inistration of publications will benefit all students.

Second league win

Cagers beat RMC after loss to LoyolaATHLETIC

CALENDAR

by S tew art P h e la n

Kingston - The Varsity Bas­ketball T eam ’s im proved play finally payed off last Friday as the cagers dow ned Royal Military College 62 - 52 for a relatively easy victory.

T he trium ph over the Cadets m arked only the second win of the season in OSLAA com pe­tition, however, in the past few weeks the club has shown signs of em erging from its long slump.

Coach W hitacre sported a revam ped lineup for this RMC contest as he started rookie cen ter Dave Wilding along­side Rod W ard and Richie Campoli. W ildingheld up well in his first starting assignm ent although his defensive play still needs to be im proved, while W ard responded with 14 points.

Ward Improved

The rookie from Trinadad has constantly im proved his

break?Make

play since the season began and is beginning to consistently hit double figures. Against Loyola last Thursday W ard hit for 12 points, and is now learning to avoid the costly fouls which he incurred so fre­quently in the early weeks.

The Varsity jum ped into an early 9 - 0 lead at Kingston and led 36 - 22 at the half. How­ever. the team ’s bad habit of letting up once they have gain­ed the lead continued as RMC closed the gap to 46 - 45 with under ten m inutes rem aining. This time, however, the G eor­gians recovered to clinch the victory with a late splurge.

Richie Campoli had another 20 point effort while Ron Trues- dale notched 13 to closely fol­low W ard as the G eorgians third highest scorer.

Drubbed 80 - 48 by Loyola

Thursday night Loyola W ar­riors m atched their crow d’s Carnival spirit as they easily defeated Sir G eorge 80 - 48. The contest was over almost

from the beginning as the W ar­riors jum ped into a com m and­ing 43 - 24 halftime lead.

W hitacre called Loyola’s perform ance, “the best all round gam e that I’ve seen them play this season”. By this W hi­tacre m eant that the Loyola offense was finally working as a team , not as a group of individuals as had formerily been the case.

Jim Ivy, an old high school buddy of Cam poli’s. held the G eorgian player to 15 points with a great defensive effort. Campoli reciprocated in turn by holding Ivy to 7 points.

Wilf Jackson made some fine plays in a losing cause as he netted 12 points to m atch W ard’s total.
