(next Monday) at 6:30, Sir George will have its first television programme. This is the first o f a series which will appear on Channel 9, thanks to the kind permission o f Cable television.
The programme has been com pletely produced by the students, fo r the students. The main fea
ture o f the first show is an interview with IRVING LAYTON who will read three of his poems.

same evening, Mr. Bussing of Metropolitan Rota Offset received a telephone call from Mr. Galloway, Secretary-Treasurer of the Council, and from Jim McCoubrey, Council president. The members instructed Mr. Bussing NOT to print the McGill Daily. At the time o f this call, form er editor Sandy Gage was laying out his final issue. It was never printed.
Gill — Researcher Aids Viet W ar.” The first sentence o f the article read, “A McGill professor is conducting a research project designed to aid the American war effort in Viet Nam.”
Engineers enragedUpon the appearance o f this
issue on the stands, the Engineering Faculty prepared a protest which was passed at an open meeting o f the Engineering Faculty.
These people felt that this accusation was both false and detrimental to the professor’s reputation. The gentleman in question, Dr. Raymond Yong, had signed a security docum ent requiring that he keep certain
areas of his research confidential. The Daily stated that this information “ would permit Am erican pilots to know beforehand whether a strip o f land is suitable for emergancy landing and subsequent takeoff.” The reporters continued to say that “ The A m e r i c a n Embassy and the RCMP denied any knowledge o f U.S. financial aid being given to Dr. Yong or of his having undergone a security clearance.”
Oust the m a n a g in g bo a rdThis protest was then brought
to the Council in the form of a motion “ demanding the resignation o f the managing board of the McGill Daily.”
A fter much deliberation, a motion was passed by the Council demanding the resignation of the managing board. The reaction of Editor Gage was, “ I am not going to resign — you will have to fire me.”
Consequently, t h e Council moved to remove Mr. Gage. The vote was 12 in favour of dismiss- all, 4 against, and one abstention. The one abstainer was Council member MacLean who stated that “ Council doesn’t have the right nor the privilege to sit as a judiciary body.”
Stop the pressesAt approximately 1:30 a.m. the
The McGill Daily did not appear on the stands yesterday. Nor did it appear today. The reason is that late Wednesday night, the McGill students’ Council fired editor Sandy Gage. His complete news staff then resigned en mass in support of his views..
With the required two-thirds majority, the Students’ Council of McGill University declared “ the office of the editor o f the McGill Daily to be vacant.” This motion followed after 5 hours of deliberation before an audience of close to 400 students.

SGWU debators place fourth 1
The annual debating tournament took place last weekend at St. Pat’s College in Ottawa. Sir George entered two teams — with gratifying results. The duo of Jay Bacharier and Allen E. Nutik placed fourth of 38 teams representing 22 schools in com petition. Bacharier and Nutik missed top honours by just a few points, numbering among the best five of 76 speakers present.
The novice team of Lewis Harris and Norm Schwartz gained valuable experience by watching their seasoned colleagues perform.
The mock parliament form taken by debate lead to some high level heckling for a most entertaining two days. Bacharier and Nutik showed themselves most adept at witty give and take with the audience, a point largely responsible for their success.
The subjects fo r debate were well chosen. The last resolution “ Be it resolved that this house is of the opinion that in the modern society nice guys are littered at the bottom o f the ladder and only two things rise to the top, cream and bastards,” evoked some beautiful sarcasm.
"G e o rg ia n -g e o rg ia n -co m e g e t y o u r g e o rg ia n -re a d a ll a b o u t i t ! " Yes, V irg in ia , th e g e o rg ia n does have a

The passage o f this motion was immediately follow ed by the resignations of all Daily staffers.
This issue arose from an article which appeared in the November 11th paper. The headline o f this article read “ Soil Analyisi at Me-

The newest athletic award on the Sir George campus may be up for grabs shortly if the Council o f the Students’ Association accepts a g e o rg ia n challenge.
The Foomfah Trophy to be awarded to the most inept team on campus in any sport is being supplied by the georgian in order to provoke the healthy “ feuding atmosphere suitable for campus journals and student councils.
The staff o f th e g e o rg ia n hasissued a challenge to Council to participate in a football game on the outdoor campus within the next two weeks, to determine once and for all who really rules the campus.
The loser of the game will be awarded the Foomfah Trophy, Inept Side o f Family as a token of the shame that must surely be fall them.

Student must become involved
Honoured of convocation
b y Steve R ichm an
“ The new student must be made aware o f his involvement in the academic life of the university.” This statement, delivered by Assistant Dean Butovsky o f the Arts Faculty, refers to a freshman tutorial service which is presently in the investigation stage.
The idea of a tutorial service was presented in one o f the meetings o f the Curriculum Planning Committee of the Faculty of Arts. The preliminary investigation o f the subject was placed in the charge of Dean Butovsky who is currently involved in collecting data for the survey.
Dean Butovsky, distressed at the high freshman failure rate, has attempted to define its cause and has analysed the failing student into three catagories:1) The student without the cap
abilities to follow a university career
2) The student w i t h external problems (financial etc.)
3) The student with no substantial reason fo r failing. It is this student who will benefit the most from a tutorial programme.
In the proposed idea, each freshman entering Sir George would be assigned to one faculty member fo r the year. The student would be com pelled to see his faculty advisor a minimum number o f times during the school year with a personal progress report. The student would present any difficulties he is having concerning his academic work to the advisor.
One o f the problem s encountered by the failing student is a lack o f knowledge of the regulations o f the university with regard to personal a c a d e m i c studies. Many failing students, for example, have complained that they didn’t know they had to officially cancel registration on a course in order for them to be exempt from the course and have ended up with a failed course on their report instead of a cancelled one. Problems of this nature would hopefully decline rapidly with the initiation o f a tutorial system. The faculty advisor would acquaint the student o f his responsibilities for his academic courses.
The tutorial service would not interfere with the other guid
ance services o f the university but would in fact, aid them and, in so doing, would help the student. If a student presents a problem to his faculty consellor which would be better dealt with in another agency in the university, he will advise the student where to go for aid.
The idea is not a new one and has been instituted in other uni
versities so studies are being made o f the success of the program in the other schools. The research also includes the reading o f many documents and books on counselling including “ The Faculty in College Counselling” . In addition, personal interviews a r e being given to students by Dean Butovsky and their opinions are recorded in the survey.
Professor Frank R. ScottSir George Williams University
will present an honorary degrees to Mr. Colin W ebster and Professor Frank R. Scott at the fall con
vocation which w ill be held this evening at 8:00 p.m. The ceremony will take place in the St. James United Church.
Track queenSir George has a Football
Queen — no team, just a queen — who is actually the Track Queen in cognito. Confusing ? Not really !
Linda MacDonald, the Track Queen, will be representing Sir George at the Canadian College Bowl being held in Toronto this week-end, November 19 and 20. She will be competing fo r the crown o f the College Bowl.
The Canadian College Bowl, initiated last year, is an annual event which features the two top Canadian football teams com peting in*a College Bowl game.It also includes the competition for queen of the game.
Candidates fo r queen are invited from all o f Canada’s universities and, although Sir George does not have a football team, we have been invited to send a candidate.
throneMore degrees have been given
out at this convocation (280) than at the Spring Convocation of 1958, a good indication o f the rapid growth o f the University.
Frank R. Scott is a MacDonald Professor of Law and a member o f the Royal Commission on Bi- linguilism and Biculturalism. He has had an active career in Law and government and was national chairman o f the C.C.F. for eight years.
He has written six volumes of poetry, including one volume of translations from the poetry of St. Denys Garneau and Anne Hebert.
Mr. Colin W ebster is the president o f Canadian Import Ltd. and on the board o f directors o f several companies including Domtar, Massey-Ferguson and Dominion Textiles.

\ / the georgian, November 18, 1966
The predictions and fears o f Sandy Gage, ex- editor-in-chief of the McGill Daily, have come true. The McGill Daily, once a free voice on campus, has been effectively muzzled.
The scene was the regular Students' Societies Council meeting last Wednesday night. Editor Gage was "on tr ia l" by Council fo r running a front page article accusing a professor of aiding the Americans' war effort in Vietnam by doing soil research fo r them. The funds fo r this research were coming from "an American educational institution." Substantial, though not overwhelming evidence, was cited by Gage in defence o f his position; no evidence was presented conclusively vindicating the professor. Gage and his Managing Board were convicted of irresponsibility and fired.
The firing of editors, especially on Canadian college campuses, is serious but by no means rare. The tragedy is that a partia l political body such as a Students' Council is allowed to hire and fire editors of the student newspaper a t w ill. Since there is a widespread concept that the student newspaper must, among other things, function as a loyal opposition to the Students' Council, then to have this paper subject to the whims of council places an editor in an unfair, almost untenable position. He is forced to engage in a popularity contest to make certain of maintaining support on Council, thus making a mockery of his position.
Sandy Gage was a marked man from the time he entered the Council chamber. He was already judged, as fa r as some dozen members were concerned, some fo r— but most against. But then Council was pre- sumptious enough to think that they could judge objectively on the competence of Mr. Gage and on the valid ity of the article fo r which he was under fire, although several members wished to refer the matter to the newly-formed Judiciary Committee.
It is unfortunable that the Students' Council must
M u M M Y ,
' f o * ■*. _I 'k A
haul one of its own members over the coals in such a prejudiced manner. As a student newspaper trying to point out to the students something happening within the university community which it considers immoral, it should, at least, be entitled to an unbiased, if not sympathetic interrogation. In a case which is not positively verifiable, students should not go out of their way to scratch the backs of the Administration to the detriment of other students.
The " tr ia l" of Sandy Gage was not a tria l at all, it was really contest of personalities with Gage as the immediate loser. However, the whole student population of McGill lost— not only an editor and a staff (who resigned almost to the man in support of their and his policy) who were technically competent in the producing of a newspaper, but also, the chance to have
a paper which was free of editorial control by Council. From now on students who become editors are going
1o be loathe to speak what they believe is the truth, , regardless of the feelings of the student executive. For a student who wants free room and board, a little money and power and who doesn't mind compromising his beliefs occasionally, there w ill be a, nice cushy job waiting as editor-in-chief of the Daily.
W e have no way of knowing at this point whether the story about the McGill professor is accurate or not. We do know, however, that once again the students of a university are allowing their Students' Council to effectively stifle their newspaper from presenting what it considers truthful and important imformation to them. If McGill students allow this flagrant abuse of power to stand, they are accomplices and only they are losers.

Letters to the ...Federalists DefensedDear S i r :
Your correspondent, Mr. Nathan Cohen, has written a particularly irrational letter condemning the activities o f W orld Federalists. W hile he has every right to express his opinion regarding the practically o f the ideas o f this organization, he has no right whatever to indulge in name-calling of a type which borders on character assassination. His letter betrays a colossal ignorance o f the facts, which are as follow s :1. The “ W orld Federalist Order”
referred to by Mr. Cohen does not exist. He undoubtedly meant to name W orld Federalists of Canada, a political action group which is affiliated with similar organizations in some 40 countries of the western and free world.
2. This is not a secret society. It is incorporated under the laws o f Canada, and maintains a national office on Confederation Square in Ottawa. A ll the people in positions of leadership are listed on the letterhead o f all W orld Federalist stationery, and in the organization’s magazine.
3. None of these leaders and policy makers are Communists, Communist dupes,' or fellow-travellers, nor has there been any sign o f Communist activity within the general membership. S enty M.P.’s and Senators belong to the W orld Federalist Parliamen
tary Association. These include members o f all political parties, including many Progressive Conservatives.
4. W orld Federalists do not and have never advocated unilateral disarmament. They do urge the establishing o f a world federal government, preferably through universal membership in the United Nations, and the strengthening of that organization, the W orld Court, and the U.N. peacekeeping f o r c e . Only when the balance o f military power is held by the world organization is a systematic, step-wise, supervised reduction in national armaments proposed. Canada is considered to be in a unique position to take the lead in advancing these proposals, and in offering to design their armed forces for U.N. service.
5. W orld Federalism is entirely a development of Western origin. No such organization or its counterpart exists in Communist countries. T o date, all efforts to enlist support for world federal government in Communist countries have failed. Public statements by Russian authorities have indicated that the principle of w orld governm ent is unacceptable to them at this time. This looms as one o f the main obstacles to general acceptance o f these ideas.
Nothing could be farther fromthe truth than Mr. Cohen’s claimthat W orld Federalists o f Canada is s Communist front organi
zation. If Mr. Cohen really values the freedom which he says is threatened, he will either present proof of his allegations, or make a public apology and retraction to clear the names of those he has accused of being traitors.

Engineer PleasedDear Sir:
It is most gratifying to see the Science Students take such an active interest in the Engineering field to the extent that they devoted half o f the industrial
exhibits in Science W eek to our profession: The exhibits by Aviation Electric Limited, Canadair Limited, United Aircraft Company, Lucas-Rotax Limited, Rolls- Royce of Canada Limited, and the wonderful structure antennae models o f those in Algonquin Park seem to have cornered as much interest as the Biology Club and the Amateur Radio Club. It was also encouraging to see that Dr. Bull was invited as one of the guest speakers, a most outstanding intellectual that has contributed greatly to his branch of engineering.
With this sort of kick-off to Engineering Week how can we but succeed !
I would like to take this opportunity to invite all those Science students who took a part in obtaining t h e s e engineering exhibits to take a look at the possibility of joining our Engineering Faculty. You are obviously more interested in Engineering than in Science.

CALGARY (CUP) — Sixteen g ills at the University of Calgary women’s residence were fined and restricted to 11 p.m. curfews for two weeks follow ing a Hallowe’en raid on the men’s residence.
The women’s residence hall committee fined fifteen of the girls $15 each, while one girl was charged $25 for opening a fire escape door.
The measures were taken by the hall committee in an attempt to defer action by the university administration.
A similar Hallowe’en raid at the University of Alberta is being dealt with by the Board of Governors.

VANCOUVER (CUP) — Future British Columbia lawyers have stolen more than 500 volumes from the University of British Columbia library since 1964.
A recent inventory revealed the greatest loss occurred in the reserve section, where' 100 books have disappeared.
In his inventory report, librarian Tom Shorthouse said : “ In actual numbers they far exceed the losses from the reserve room in the main library, where the ratio o f users to books is much higher than in law.”
Shorthouse also recom mended “ more stringent measures be imposed to prevent continued pilfering.

1 would like to bring to everyone’s attention an article which appeared in the Op-Ed section of the Nov. 4th edition of th e geo rg ia n . Titled “ Zig-Zag To Nowherewhere” , it was written by Juan Rodriguez about the McGill conference on “ The War and Student Involvement” .
A close look at this report and in particular paragraph five is recommended to our friends, bearded or otherwise, who seem to be involved in every and any protest. In fact, any student who m i s s e d this excellent article should dig out their copy of th e g e o rg ia n and read what Mr. Rodriguez has to say. It would do all o f us some good to heed his advice.

"Dirty Politics ?"Dear Sir:
I am an acquaintance of Mr. Charles Becker, whose name did not appear after his letter in the Tuesday November 15, 1966 is
sue of th e g e o rg ia n . In this letter he announced his intention o f running for Ombudsman of Sir George. Before sending in his letter he was discussing it with me and mentioned that he expected some sort of accident to happen whereby there would be errors changing his letter, or it would not appear at all, etc. I laughed this o ff saying that th e g e o rg ia n surely must be neutral in these matters.

Double StandardsDear Sir:
The people who stand against . the American presence in V iet
nam puzzle me with their double standards. These people maintain that American “ Big Business” is profiting by the fighting in Vietnam (through the sales of weapons, etc.) and that the Americans want to colonize the country since it is rich in natural resources. T h e s e anti- Americans do not mention the motives o f North Vietnam. If these people choose to take an econom ic interpretation of the war let them have the honesty to i n c l u d e North Vietnam’s schemes of imperialism. Other double standards exist. F or in
Daily stifledby JUDY REBICK an d ROBERT CHODOS
The M cG ill D a ily issue o f N ovem ber 17 w as suppressed by the Students' Council Executive.
Early yesterday morning when members o f the form erDaily staff arrived at the plant of Metropolitan Rota OffsetPress Corporation at 881 Montee de Liesse, which normally prints the Daily, they were inform ed by the workmen that they had been ordered not to print that day’s issue.
Recently-removed editor Sandy Gage immediately calledHenry Bussing, owner of Metropolitan Rota Offset. Bussing told Gage that he had indeed held up printing o f the Daily on the instructions of Students’ Society President Jim McCou- brey. He said that he was powerless to order the resumption of printing without further word from McCoubrey. This conversation occurred at 6 am.
The next step was a call to McCoubrey made by form er Supplement Editor Stephen Schecter. A fter repeated ob jections to the hour at which he was disturbed from his sleep, McCoubrey denied that he had given such instructions to Bussing. Schecter then asked that McCoubrey call Bussing to rectify the situation, which McCoubrey promised to do.
A fter ten minutes Schecter called Bussing who said that he had not heard from McCoubrey. Then Schecter, when trying to reach McCoubrey, mistakenly dialed Internal Vice-President Ian McLean’s number. He asked McLean to contact McCoubrey.
McLean called back five minutes later saying that McCoubrey had answered neither to repeated knocks on his door nor to phone calls.
Scarcely twenty minutes after speaking to Schecter, it seems McCoubrey had mysteriously disappeared. The next f if teen minutes were spent in making numerous unanswered phone calls to M cCoubrey’s room.
Am ong many attempts made by the form er Daily staffers to clarify the situation and to get their paper printed was a phone call by Gage to Secretary-Treasurer Myron Galloway. Galloway said that he had been present when at 2 am McCoubrey had called Bussing and instructed him not to print the McGill Daily. Galloway also tried to reach McCoubrey, and also without success.
At 7 am the form er Daily staffers went home.
stance the Vietniks castigate President Johnson the kid killer but fall silent when the latest Viet Cong terrorist bomb hits downtown Saigon.
I do not believe the Americans are in Vietnam for their own financial gain because by drawing up a balance sheet we find that the war is draining the U.S. government of billions of dollars as well as killing thousands of their own men and worsening U.S.-Soviet relations. In short, the Americans are simply not gaining financially or otherwise by their presence.
Those who take a purely economic interpretation of the war when they criticise American “ imperialism” and “ colonialism ” are fortunate since they have a handy v o c a b u l a r y of catch phrases which take the place of thought. To them the world is a fairly straight forward place divided up into the “ bad guys” (colonialists, reactionaries wheeler-dealers sic) and the “ good guys” (the poor exploited masses). These people present an oversim plified view and it does not sway me one bit.

Shame on SheldonDear sir,
I o ffer you my congratulations on your centerspread o f the Tuesday’s g e o rg ia n . Quoting from context, it is “ — shit— ” . If you are attempting to arouse emotion towards some cause, you have failed. If you are attempting to give th e g e o rg ia n public a news- feature article, you have failed.
Shame on you, s i r ! I am fam iliar with your writing, having read several articles by you in numerous newspapers. I believe
you are a competant writer, but this ?
“ This guy had set his sights for this little girl’s lithe body.” Come now.
Are you not hitting just slightly below the belt by riding Mr. Oberfeld’s physical appearance. It was not necessary to describe his “ red- fat cheeks swollen with anger” . Had he been a skinny little runt, his feelings would have remained the same.
You slip up technically in several places. Firstly, and most obviously, your figures are way out of proportion. The pro-American demonstrators n u m b e r e d closer to 50, and not 250. The anti-American people amounted to approximately 400 — not 2000. Learn to estimate crowds, my dear Mr. Kirshner.
“ On the street below, people oblivious o f the demonstration walked on their commuter train.” You are correct, they walked on the street — there was no room on the sidewalk. How c o m e , therefore, oblivious ?
“ The relatively peaceful night”
was by no means relatively peaceful. In the yelling, O Canada was barely descernable, let alone a “ deafening roar” .
Four lines o f “ B oooooo” . Now what would the advertising people say at 20 cents per agate l in e . . .But you ARE observant, sir. Not only did you notice that Mr. Cohen was drooling, but you were close enough to verify that it was “ pasty saliva.” BRAVO. How many teeth did he have ???
And lastly, my dear Mr. Kirshner, Harvey Oberfeld was in the end at home eating. Had you been around his area of Dominion Square, you would have heard him say, in effect, that his group should disband, for they had achieved what they had set out do.
He was wise enough to set a lim it and to realize when an appropriate end had come.
But I must excuse you, sir, for not hearing that. You were counting the flowers in the wreath laid by the other group.

Future of P.Q. Communist party 'bright'b y Sheldon K irshner
Sam Walsh, leader of the Quebec Communist Party, said here Monday that the future o f his party looks “ bright.”
Addressing Sir George’s NPD on The future of the Communist Party in Quebec, Mr. Walsh said that people of this province have already started on the road to Socialism with a series of strikes “ which have shaken up the Establishment.”
In another development, Mr. Walsh said that the forces of peace are now stronger than the the forces of war. He said that vast sections of the population in the United States were opposed to the South Vietnamese war.
Mr. Walsh, man of medium height who wears a black mustache, admitted that Quebec is not yet ready for Socialism, but he said this was not cause for alarm since social transition today is occuring at a faster rate that at any other period in recorded history.
Citing an example, he recalled the conservatism and anti-Semitism of University o f Montreal students in the early 30’s and the Socialism of 1966.
“ well intentioned” people. Terrorism, too, cannot ever hope to change social order.
He said that students have the opportunity to play an important role in the coming revolution
“ which is inevitable” by supporting “ national struggles of the people of Quebec and keeping your minds open and willing to associate with proper people who hold your future in their hands.”

He revealed that recently he spoke at Loyola College. “ There were no Red nuns or priests there,” he said laughing. “ Quebec can no longer be regarded as the most conservative part o f Canada.”
“ If all loftiest groups teamed- up to form one grand socialist oriented party, then social change will be accelerated,” he said.

OPENINGBy ESTELLE GELLER
Assistant N e w s EditorMonday, at 1 p.m. the Principal
and Vice-Chancellor Robert C. Rae, cut the ribbon to officially open Science Week.
Other members of the platform party were: John Sweet- nam, Chairman of Science W eek; Chancellor Fulton; Dr. Madras, Dean of Sciences; Andy Young, Science Association president and the princesses, Lynn Gagnon, L o u i s e Dumas and Margaret Dorst.
In a brief speech, Principal Rae congratulated John Sweet- nam, A n d y Y o u n g , and the science student body for the great effort put into this project. He further expressed great enthusiasm o v e r the size and splendor of the exhibits. With reference to the HARP rocket, Principal Rae said, “ When I saw the rocket aimed at the ceiling of the Hall Building, I was somewhat concerned. I didn’t think we wanted to lose the Hall Building. Not this week anyway. Now that I have been assured that it is inactive, I find it an impressive figure” .

TIM ROSS W AYNE FORBES STEVE RICHMAN
BULLDr. G.V. Bull does with $40,000
what it takes the Americans one and a half millions to do — probe space.
Dr. Bull is the D irector o f the McGill Space Research Institute and he spoke on the H.A.R.P. project. (HARP for those who don ’t know is the High Altitude Research Project o f McGill University).
The HARP project is primarily guns — big monstrous guns capable o f flinging projectiles far o ff into space.
Primarily guns yes — but even more than guns HARP is McGill and Dr. Bull, with a healthy dose o f U.S. Army. It used to be primarily a Canadian Government project, but the feedback into Canadian Industry wasn’t enough to keep them interested.
But back to the gun, or guns, for HARP has guns all over the p la ce ! One in B a r b a d o s (it shoots straight u p ), one in High- water P.Q. (it shoots into Verm ont) and others in Yuma, W allops Station, W hite Sands and Nicolet. (By the way if the High- water gun misses Jay Peak in Vermont they could conceivably hit Mexico City.)
SERPOKRYIOVYuri S. Serpokryiov second se
cretary to the Russian Embassy in Ottawa, told students during Science W eek that there was a greater need for co-operating between countries in space research.
This co-operation would reduce the enormous costs o f research as well as bring the cou n tries ' concerned to a closer understanding of one another.
He mentioned that the U.S.S.R. and the United States had agreed to work together on a weather satellite system as the first step in greater co-operation between nations.
Mr. Serpokryiov apologized at the start o f his address for not knowing the technical aspects of the Russian Space Program. As a result he could only outline the history of development from the first sputnik in 1957 to the present day.
Questions from the floor received very vague answers due to his lack o f technical knowledge.
He urged the Science W eek organizers to i n v i t e someone more knowledgeable for n e x t year’s show, suggesting a scientist or a cosm onaut!
D0Z0IS“ Expo ‘67 will show that Man
today has problems, but also the means to solve those problem s,” Professor Gu_ "'ozois, the Theme
Director o f Expo ’67, said W ednesday. He spoke to about 25 Georgians in the theatre of the sub-basement as part of the Science W eek Programme.
“ The Theme “ Man and His “ W orld” is taken from Andre Mallrand’s book, ‘Terre des Homines’, in which he says, ‘To be a man is to feel that every man, humble as he may be, has a role to play” .
“ What we are trying to do” Professor Dozois went on,” is to give the visitor to Expo an inventory of Man and his world. We hope that visitors will know their world better and be better citizens after visiting Expo.”
“ Expo ’67 w ill emphasize the interdependence between people of different countries and the relationship between man and his environment” , he said. “ The national pavilions will have an international flavor” .
SIMMONSAccording to Mr. C.R. Simmons,
the marketing manager for Cana- dair, there is a good possibility of finding a prospective buyer
for the company’s CL-84 (vertical and short take-off and landing aircraft).
“ W e in Canadair are now receiving literally dozens o f people in to see the possible military applications.”
Mr. Simmons was speaking on Wednesday as part of the current Science W eek programme to an audience o f sixty.
The main theme o f his speech was a description o f the structure and history of vertical and short take-off and landing (V / STOL) in general and his firm ’s model in particular.
For the beginning of the theory behind V /ST O L Mr. Simmons said that we would have to go back to Leonardo da Vinci and his corkscrew principle. He said that the present V /STOL aircraf are a combination of helicopters with their negligible run-way re quirements and inherent slow speed, and fixed-wing aircraft with their high speeds and cor responding lengthier run-waj needs. “ For years, the design en gineers have been trying to mar ry the two concepts” , said Mi Simmons.

Berry Scores 3 Varsity Cagers Switch
Georgians, Redmen Tie Site of Home Games
In Inter-City TourneyTwo thousand spectators, most
o f whom were Georgians supporters, saw the McGill Redmen and the Varsity Sir George hockey squad battle to a 3-3 tie Tuesday night in the annual McGill Hockey Tournament. Bob Berry didn’t waste any time in scoring the game opener at the 1:27 mark of the first period. The rest of the stanza saw both teams come up with several good chances, however, neither the Redmen, nor the Georgians were able to capitalize on any of them.
In the second period, the Mc- Gillians outclassed their opponents and pulled ahead by a one goal margin. A defensive lapse led to McGill’s first counter at 4:36 and only three minutes later, with Bob Ferguson and Jim W ebster o ff for elbowing, the Redmen power play tallied on a screen shot from the point. Brian Chapman, Sir George goalie, kept his teamates in the game throughout the period, robbing several opposition attackers, in particular Bert Hallowell, from point blank range.
The last period saw an improved SGWU squad overcom e the deficit and take the lead.
Berry’s second goal came as he swooped around the McGill net and shovelled the puck past the goaltender.
Less than ten minutes later, Berry brought the crowd to its feet and received a standing ovation when he got his hat-trick to round out Sir George’s scoring. John Taylor, McGill’s flashy center, tied the score with three minutes left while Harry W enger
was serving a tripping penally.Besides Berry, Gary Thornton,
a converted defenseman, proved himself to be an asset to the Georgian club. Thornton, who back-checked diligently throughout the tournament, depicts perfectly the hustling attitude Coach Paul Arsenault expects from his charges throughout this 66-67 campaign.

Coach Fred Whitacre has decided to move the Varsity’s home games from Westmount P a r k School to NORTHMOUNT HIGH SCHOOL, located at 6755 Lavoie in the north end.
Earlier this season, the Westmount school had been chosen for local games due to the excessively high rents the school was forced to pay last year when they played in the east end Mont St. Louis Gym. However, after last Sunday’s home opener, W hitacre determined that this location was totally unsuitable and unsatisfactory. His decision was not based solely on the incident which curtailed play late in the game, but was also influenced by other factors such as the lack o f spectator accommodation.
Therefore this coming Friday evening, the Varsity will host R.M.C. at Northmount High with action commencing at 8 p.m. The coach is hoping for a vastly improved perform ance f r o m his players. Whitacre was deeply disappointed with the team’s play against Ottawa, which he considers to be one o f the poorer teams in the league. On the other hand, he qualified this statement with the comment that his entire game plan had been wrecked when Mike Hirsh was declared ineligible. From now on however,
Loyola Blanks Jay Vee IcemenLoyola outhustled and out
classed the SGWU JV hockey squad, as they thumped the squad 4-0 in a rough game at the McGill arena Wednesday night. This was the Georgians opening game and any conscious observer could see that they had not played previously this year.
Hutton, o f Loyola, opened the scoring at 8:37 on a power play. During the early moments of the second frame, the Georgians began to carry the puck effectively for the first time. They hustled and came close on a few occasions, but when it looked as if they were going to score, Loyola got loosing, stormed down the ice to score. The second Loyola goal was netted by Austin. Austin didn’t quit and popped another in with five seconds remaining in the period.
J.V.’s did not take many good shots but took a lot of penalties. Tempers flared, however nothing came o f it and the final goal was scored at 19:12 by B. Mcguire on another powerplay.

CUS Backs Student GainesOttawa (CU P) — The Cana
dian Union o f Students intends to co-operate in sending a Canadian entry to nex year's W orld Student Games in Japan.
The CUS board of directors voted here at the weekend to participate jointly in the project with the Canadian Intercollegiate Athletic Union.
The games are conducted by the Federation Internationale du Sport Universitaire, to w h i c h CUS is the official Canadian representative.
Board members agreed to negotiate with the CIAU — which holds the key to federal government support for a Canadian entry — but made it clear CUS will be seeking three concessions from that body.
The three conditions are:1 FISU eligibility regulations,
not the tighter CIAU ones, w ill apply;
2 Students w ill have equal representation on selection com mittees; and
3 Canada will enter as many s p o r t s as possible at the games.
Canadian track stars Bruce Kidd and Bill Crothers have been heading up a Toronto-based com mittee which will attempt to negotiate an agreement with the CIAU.
Failing conclusion of an agreement satisfactory to CUS, CUS president Doug Ward has been mandated by the board to negotiate with Kidd’s ad hoc com mittee in sending a Canadian entry to Japan.
Cost o f sending a delegation to the games has been estimated at about $50,000.
CUS first entered international competition when it sponsored an entry to the 1965 summer student games at Budapest, and FISU was so pleased with the Canadian perform ance there that it granted permanent membership to CUS.
CUS then sent the 1965 Canadian intercollagiate hockey champions the University o f Manitoba Bisons, to the 1966 W inter Uni- versiade in T u r i n , Italy last winter.
