Construction of Engineering III building is somewhat behind schedule.

Tenders called for 3 proiects

The board of governors has auth- orized the calling of tenders on three buildings: math and computer, food services and physical education.

The board has also author&d the university administration to corn- plete plans with a view towards tendering as soon as possible for the campus center ) the biology addit tion and health services.

In a telephone interview, Presic dent Hagey declined to reveal the sources of funds for theseprojects. He said he was not in a position to say more than that and in due time will reveal the reasons.

Mike Sheppard, Student Council president, has arranged a meeting with Presiderit Hagey to find out why the campus center has been placed in the second group, although plans for it have-already been completed.

The five main projects currently underway on ctinpus are close to schedule.

The university lecture buil&lg-- in the engineering quadrangle--is a-

bout nine days behind schedule, ac- cording to the lates t critical path printouts. Much of the concrete work is complete, Conduit is being installed at the same time.

The extensions to theengineering building were restaged by the con- tractor because of a shortage of electrical tradesmen. E lectricians have been concentrated on teaching areas, and the office areas may be delayed as a result. Roof work has been completed and terrazoinstall- ation is well under way.

The service tunnels to the resi- dences and the sites of the physical education building and the campus center are almost complete. The project is on schedule. Most of the structural steel work for the cen- tral services building is complete.

The maintenance, stores and commissary building is also on schedule. Steel work has begun.

The exteriors of seven of thenew Village houses are complete. Work is going on on the inteviors.

Arts library fire exit ‘barely adequa

Fire exits in the arts library are barely adequate and improperly marked. This conclusion was reached last week following an ins- pection of the library by Bob Sloat of the Waterloo fire department and the Cor yphaeus.

Inspector Sloat assured the Cory- phaeus that he would see to it that proper directional signs were put up immediately.

The inspection followed a tele- phone inquiry regarding the locked exit doors on the main floor. During this calI the inspector said he was not happy with the situation provided for emergency exits, but that they met the minimurn requirements.

The situation was necessary to prevent book theft, he said. As soon as the administrative offices temporarily housed in the library are moved out, security guards would be placed at the first-floor exits and the barred doors would be unlocked, he said.

The university had not told him, however, when the offices tempor- arily housed in the library wouldbe moved.

World not truly round

The Earth is slightly pear-shaped with some sizable dents and bumps on it and not, as traditional astron- omy has it, like a ball flattened at the poles and bulging slightly at the equator because it is spinning.

This was revealed at a meeting on the ‘determination of the geoid from satallite data” held by the British Royal Astronomical Society in London in January. The “geoid” is the shape of the earth, and pain- staking observations of minor ir- regularities in the orbits of satel- lites, followed by lengthy computer- assisted calculations ,have revealed oddities in it almost impossible to detect in other ways.

According to experts of theRoyal Aircraft Establishment, Farnbor- ough, the North Pole - the stalkend of the pear - is about lometersfur- ther from the equator than it would be if the shape was regular, while the South Pole is about 40 meters closer. (UNESCO FEATURES)

Focus article reprinted

The April 1966 issue of ‘Thepro- fessional engineer and engineering digest’ contains an article of spec- ial interest to this campus.

Gary Black’s winning non-techni- cal essay, ‘Of interest to engin- eers.,..?‘, is reprinted from the December issue of the University of Waterloo’s engineering journal ‘Focus ‘.

Mr. Black, a 2B electrical stu- dent, and the staff of ‘Focus’ re- ceived some very favorable corn- ments from the editor of this im- portant professional engineering publication.

91 The CORYPHAEUS

New break found in ocean floor

(UNESCO FEATURES) Scientists have discovered a, massive break in the ocean floor of the North Pa- cific in the area between theHawai- ian Islands and the Aleutians. An undersea upheaval millions of years ago raised a range of mountains over half a mile high and dropped part of the adjacent bed another half-mile, forming a trough or valley about 15 miles wide. Oceanographers call such a phenomenon a fracture zone.

The discovery is based on the work done by the “Pioneer”, an oceanographic research vessel of the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Coast and Geodetic Survey. The “Pioneer ” surveyed a 120~rnile- long portion of the fracture zone, but there are indications that it stretches another 860 miles in a northeasterly direction towards the northern tip of Vancouver Island, British Columbia.

The new find is comparablein size to those of other massive breaks in the ocean floor previously discov- ered, the Mendocino, Murray and Molokai Fracture Zones. The new fracture zone, lying to the north of these, has not yet been named.

The discovery is animportant re- sult of the SEAMAP project., an in- tensive programme aimed at map- ping the bottom of the seas. Prior to World War II, the bottom of the oceans, which cover 7170 of the globe, had been largely a myster- ious and unknown realm. It is only since 1945 that the truenature of the OCSIII bed, with its hundreds of mountains and mountain ranges, plateaus and valleys, has begun to be known.

Course club given s franchise by EngSoc

At its last meeting the Engineer- ing Society passed a motion giving the course clubs recognized by the Society one vote each.

Though it may seem the course clubs are gaining more recognition and representation, this is not the case. Ken Hancock pointed out that the EIC meeting May 17 received only three lmembers. Last termthis club was backed strongly by 70 students.

There must be some reason for this poor interest. Is it that this club has nothing to offer to the stu- dents or rather that the students have nothing to offer to the club? .

Come fly with us! BY Ralph Yeoman

Joining the trend to expanding summer activities, the Flying Club has started its activities for the new season.

It is now the only university- level flying club to operate during the summer season in Canada.

With financial aid from the Fed- eration of Students to the extent of 50 percent, the club has scheduled several summer flights.

It is now flying the Cessna 172 four-place single-engine aircraft on a two-hours-per -flight basis. Each pilot is assigned three mem- bers and> these four decide where . and when they will fly.

Other projects such as films, tours and entertainment are in the plans for thesurnmer. If youmissed the last meeting, watch for the pos- ters. They’re sky blue.

Communist activities tin aimpus? A Communist Club may be start-

ed on campus later this year under the auspices of the Federation of Students.

This is the hope of Roy Semak, 27, a second-year civil engineering stu- dent here. Mr. Semak is president of the K-W Communist Club.

Mr. Semak hopes that non-believ- ers will be attracted if the club is under the Federation Iike any other campus club, than if it is under the auspices of the Communist Party of Canada.

Mr. Semak came to the atten- tion of the public a few weeks ago when the party’s chairman, Tin Buck of Toronto, was scheduled to speak on the Wmrnunist viewpoint of Vietnam at a public meeting in Waterloo.

The threat of violent demonstra- tion from members of area ethnic groups prompted local hall owners

to refuse permission for the meet- ing to be held. The speaking en-

gagement was cancelled. Until this time virtually no one

in the Twin Cities was aware that a local Communist Club existed. Mr. Semak would not reveal the number of members nor any of their names for fear of personal intimidation, this being the reason for holding their meetings in secret.

Canadian party members stillad- dress each other as “Comrade” although thepractice has disappear- ed in Russia today.

The national party here sends members to study communism in Prague, Moscow and other. estab lished centers. Otherwise there is no financial or organizational con- nection with other parties.

Various attempts to improve their public image haven’t been very successful,

Many publications are distrib- uted, one of them ‘Scan’, directed to- wards the university population. A national convention held last week

in Toronto was open to press and public.

But still the average Canadian is woefully ignorant of what the Communist Party is and does.

artistic creativity and thereby en- gage in two self-deceptions: (1) that they are, deep down, repressed Samuel Coleridges (when actually they are not) and (2) that if they are not, at least they are entering the “creative experience” (when actually they are hallucinating on LSD or merely feeling high on pot).

Kubla I&u-r gets into the picture, as he inevitably does, by waving a red herring. A casual relation is assumed between an opium dream and the finished poem which alto- gether leaves out Coleridge, his endowment and his disciplined craft. BY the same argument one should require ‘Fern Hill’ from a bottle of alcohol or ‘The ra.i&ow* from an overshadowing mother. The more important point is that people have to grow up -7have to gaininde- pendence and self-respect by find- ing out that they can do X and by accepting the fact that they can’t do Y. “So I can’t think of anything but assembly-line images and I can’t write, asestina, I can still read poetry.” Poetasters do not attract admiring disciples (alas) but if they read poetry it shouldn’t matter.

This satisfying, educated l-es- ponse to palpable art works (as op- posed to drug-induced sensations) is the authentic “creative experi- ence@‘. Most of us are not, unfort- unately , bona-fide artists i they are, like the Lands of the Jumblies, “far and few”. But we can take part in the “creative experience*’ in a spectator capacity if we are willing to spend time, exercise self-disci-

pline, develop critical judgment--in short, work hard. In the field of music, for instance, a person, provided he is not tone-deaf, could profitably begin by learning musical notation and then continue by listen ing with scores to recordings be- ginning with, say, Chopin and Puc- cini and gradually working back to Bach and forward through the 20th century. In other words, realizing a creative potential as a listener is not indulging in instantaneous thrills. If it were, one might just as well improve one’s noisier night- mares and call them art.

The theory is that verbal mes- sages get through to the brain even when the ‘listener’ is asleep and that, if the noise level of instruction

-is kept low and even, so as not to disturb the student’s rest, facts are retained in the memory in muchthe same way as those absorbed \by or- dinary teaching methods.

But until recently, it remained a mere theory.

Despite apparent success inmany b&vidwl cases--and inexplicable failure in others--the principles of sleep-teaching (or hypnopedia as it is coming to be called) had never been tested on a really large scale.

In October, however, the first mass hypnopedia program sponsor- ed by the education services of the

This ar title is about drugs, the “creative experience” and confor- mity. It is strictly I off the cuff, having as limited background friendship with a few Canadian ar- tists, acquaintance with an LSD popularizer and the heartsickness of seeing close relatives on the rack because of drugs. Therefore its point of view is more aggres- sive than objective or scientific: the notion of drugs as a means to high-powered creativity is an idy- llic chimera; the notion of drugs as a flail with which to beatmiddle- class conformity is the mostpathe- tic self-deception.

Why then, getting back to our Montreal pugilist, is it socially and personally advantageous to know ar- tists? Not only because some of us are inveterate camp followers but also’ because most of us value what real artists can do. This reverence for art or what is thought to be art has motivated students to the south

A final word about conformity. I doubt that I represent Squaresville alone in suggesting that retreating into the world of stunning drug delu- sions as a means of protest is a contradiction in terms. It is per- fectly clear to such students as Terence Moore and PatUhlof SUPA whose writings have appeared on Manitoban pages that one cannot hand out to the destitute negr oes of Africville an LSD vision of a thick- leaved, velvety-petalled rose.

Meaningful protest against mid- dle-class indifference and glut is found in the reaffirmation of human values (loving God and any neighbour as yourself) and responsible, per- ceptive social action. Those who “solve” the problem of conform- ity by joining the drug-taking set have exchanged groups and bond- ages and rendered themselves use- less to others.

The masterful performance of a man well-known to Canadian tele- vision, radio and live theater was the delight of an altogether minute but enthusiastic audience May 19.

Whether Paul Kligman’s reputa- tion is not widespread enough or simply whether the people of Kitch- ener-Waterloo have had all the “Festival of Arts” they can take& was a pity to see so few people (a- bout one-third capacity) in the arts theater for ‘An evening with Paul Kligman’.

Mr. Kligman’s entertaining dem-

KLIGMAN DELIGHTS I

Hum CO

Paul Kligman, noted Jewish radio and TV writer and per- former. onstration of Jewish humor can be seen in the following little story:

A small Jewish guide was showing a huge Texan around Israel when the American asked to be shown a

typical farm. The guide took the Texan to his

own place and said: “You see that fence there? Let your eyes roam a full 50 feet to the right until youget to another fence--that’s my farm.‘*

The Texan was quick to respond: “Why I get up early in the morning and drive from one fence of my fan-n all morning and all afternoon,about seven o’clock at night I get to the other fence.”

The Jew looked at him withanair of understanding and said: “I know what you mean --I too oncehad a car like that.”

ML Kligrnan spent the first half of the evening giving us ashort back- ground of himself and Sholom Aleichem and bringing them to- gether with well-placed and very humorous stories. During the even- ing he read extracts from Sholom Al&hem’s ‘Cnar ds ‘=-a satirical story about deception and cards, some present-day writings of Ephw r-aim Kishon, and parts of “rhe

education of H*Y*M*A*N* C*A*P* L*A*N’ by Leo Rosten.

All these were done with a con- centration on the best of Jewish humor o Although some may argue that the translated works werelack- ingc-as usually happens when any= thing is translated--it was plain from the audience reaction that any deficiencies were taken care of by Mr, Kligman’s wonderful presenta- tion.

It was a pleasure to see one man have the entire stage to hirnself for over an hour and a half and yethave every member of the audience hang- ing on (or rather laughing at) his every word.

The May 15 festival jazz concert was without a doubt a good lecture on big bands and jazz which appeal- ed to everyone seated in the full arts theater .

The John ,Kostigian orchestra lectured not on big-band jazz, which was their intention, but on how a small-city band can play and inter- pret big- band arrangements.

The orchestra, a full 17 pieces, played everything from traditional arrangements such as Basie*s ‘I thought about you’ and Milt Jack- son’s ‘Bags new groove’, to a concert necessity, a jazz waltz, ‘Waltz cools, to Herb Alpert’s ar- rangement of ‘A taste of honey’,

200 free copies were giva out at registration in April. If you re- ceived one and are now finished with it, the Volume ‘63 staff would appreciate your returning it to the board of publications office in an- nex 1.

“Sorry to be Indian-givers. We’ll print more next time,‘*said Volume ‘63 editor Nelson Ball,

They did a fair job on many of the tunes but watered down con-

siderably ‘Watermelon man’, This could be tie start of something’ big,’ and “The preacher’s a-coming.

The vocalist, Joan Case, sang well despite having to compete with a loud band and a poor microphone.

They did not, however, play big- band arrangements consistently, but switched to their own arrangements, some other band’s, -or the original score.

If I may be bold enough to make a recommendation to them, Mr. Walton on dr urns might become less exuberant and concentrate more on a steadier beat. His constant speeding up and Mr. Kostigian’s slowing down resulted in a confused band. Playing a little softer might improve things and possibly a11 ear might be tuned to CBC’s Nimmons and Nine,

The highlight was undoubtedly the Festival Trio featuring Dave Drew on an electric string bass, Peter Rand on guitar and the Uni- versity of Waterloo’s Barry Wills on piano.

The absence of drums necessitat- ed rhythm in their playing--very difficult indeed, especially on ‘El Ricardo’, a bossa novae The trio settled well into a strong swinging rhythm.

The tunes were ‘Sack of wool’, an Adderly tune, ‘W a.&‘, ‘The shad-

ow of your smile’, Oscar Peterson’s ‘Hallelujah time’ and El Ricardo’.

Each arrangement’was played in a tasteful style that brought out the feeling and characteristics of the particular tune.

Dave Drew, combining his trem- endous familiarity with the instru- ment with melodic extemporiza- tions, proved why he is a very fine bassist.

Peter Rand, especially on ‘Sack of wool’, played in a style not unlike Jim Hall in ‘Seven come eleven’. Technically he isn’t Hall, but he certainly sounded like him a good rhythmic qualitities with strong rich chords and well executed improvi- sations.

Barry Wills is a talented pianist who has a feel for the song, playing in a funky style reminscent of Os- car Peterson, and indeed he did more than credit to Peterson’s ‘Hal- lelujah time*.

The trio sounded so natural, smooth, creative that you could have closed your eyes and invisioned Peterson, Hall and Ray Brown be- fore you. They brewed some fine jazz worthy of better airing through this land.

In conclusion, the orchestra took a tune and adapted it to their style -- while, to my mind, the trio did the far harder thing of adapting their style to a tune.
