Free love urged by Sir George malesIt seems that free love is advo­

cated much more freely on the campus of Sir George by the males than their female counterparts. However both sexes agree that they would not condemn anyone who

participated in premarital sex pro­

viding that love is involved.

This conclusion was reached at

a discussion held by the Newman

Club last week. Under the general

theme of “ Person, Conscience and

Law,” there was an across table discussion on the Christian and

free love.

by Susan BOYANERThe girls declared that they

would feel both fear and guilt if they participated in free love. It was said that if free love became the standard in society, it would be necessary to teach everyone proper methods of birth control.

The question of the “ double standard” was repeatedly raised. One boy felt that a girl should be a virgin until marriage, although he admitted that every man prefers a virgin, saying a great gift to her husband.

All the boys agreed that if the girl was not a virgin their love for

The debate should prove to be of salient importance particularly in the light of the organization’s current difficulties. Time is 1 p.m. and the place is Rm. 224 Wednesday, October 24.

her would not be lessened. The girls felt that men feel that v ir ­ginity is a quality, something that isn’t necessarilly required, but certainly desired.

One boy declared that we eat some foods for nutritional purpose and others, such as candy, solely for pleasure. However, we could not exist on a diet of just candy. Similarly, we should indulge in sex, but we shouldn’t go to extremes..

Several of the boys felt that kissing doesn’t have as much mean- ning today as it had for previous generations. They felt that now­adays young people are accustomed to “ going farther” . The girls felt that the kiss and its meaning hasn’t decreased in the slightest. Both sexes agreed that prolonged “ neck­ing” leads to petting and that this chain of events is very hard to stop.

Father Purdulli who chaired the discussion raised the point of free love being a part of our society. What would happen? One girl felt that if free love applied to marria­ge, thus making marriage a very weak institution, the result would be disastrous.'

She raised the point that most marriages have certain goals, and

that adults hope to raise their chil­dren into people capable of dealing with this complex world. How could this ever be achieved if there weren’t any strong ties in a mar­riage?

Father Purdulli gave the example of the Soviet Union. After the 1917 revolution free love was re­cognized by the state. However the. soviets realized that this was breaking down their society and Interfering with their general pur­pose in life. As a result, free love was forbidden.

Most of the students agreed that

free love is relative to what you

believe in. Father Purdulli

concluded that the relationship

of love between one man and one

woman would go to pieces if free

love was a basic part of our

society.

In wake of Bladen report

Free education issue rages across Canada

Heated argument among students about Canadian Union o f Students motions on fr e e education shows that there is m ore to fr e e education than the sim ple statement that SOMEONE has to pay fo r it.

The f ir s t and a ll-im portan t issue is the question of b a rr ie rs to higher education. That a ll socia l and financial b a rr ie rs to higher education should be rem oved is fundamental tenet, which can be based only on a person ’ s b e lie f in equality of opportunity fo r a ll people.

Bladen labelled a traitor

Prem ier Joseph Smallwood of Newfoundland demostrated his belief in this equality of opportunity by announcing a government policy of free tuition and salaries for all students of Memorial University. Under this salary plan, students will get from fifty to one hundred dollars a month, depending on what part of the province they come from.

New Democratic Party Leader T.C. Douglas supports this same belief by pledging free university education as a major plan in his election platform. “ We believe the level of education a student gets should be decided by the amount of brains he has in his head and not the amount of money his father has in the bank,” spoke Mr. Douglas.

Number “ too Low”He said that the number of young

Canadians obtaining higher educa­tion was “ far too low” to meet the economy’s needs for scientists teachers and other professional people. He added that Canada cannot compete with industrially advanced countries unless it has an adequate reservoir of trained persons.

Contrarily, Dean Bladen, author of the Bladen Report on higher

education, recommended that tuition fees continue at an average level of $500.

Dr. Bladen insisted that his bursary proposals “ should be adequate support for any student who is admitted to university.” He declined comment on New­foundland Prem ier Joseph Small­wood’s plan to give free tuition and salaries to Newfoundland students.

Dean Bladen expressed some fear that higher enrollment levels could not be achieved without reducing the quality of education due to shortage of qualified lecturers.

The Canadian Union of Students lashed out at the Bladen Commission for this recommended retention of tuition fees at the present level.

“ Such a recommenation negates the principle of social justice” CUS claimed in a statement issued on the heels of the release of the report.

“ Loans, bursaries, and scho­larships are an outdated substitute for the elimination of tuition fees” is the position of the national union. Endorsing the proposed increases

in federal grants to education, CUS stressed the fact that the federal government has the duty to see that

Barry Barnes, chairman of the education committee of the SUS and a member of the student Con­sultant Committee for Student Aid Service commented after reading the Bladen report on higher edu­cation, “ Dean Bladen is probably the greatest traitor to Canadian students that has ever been” .

After releasing the report, Dean Bladen suggested that lie might burn in effigy on campuses across the country for his failure to

spending on education. Many presidents were especially pleased that the report calls on Ottawa

universities and colleges receive adequate financial support.

Noting the report’s criticism of loan schemes, CUS claims bursaries fail, to make education a right, and require “ degrading” means tests. Calling the Bladen recommendations “ ill-conceived” CUS reaffirmed its demand for tuition-free education.

The recommendations welcomed by university presidents across

The costs of universityed. note — The fo llow in g article is written by Barry David Barnes, chairm an o f the S U S education committee. This article is I he second o f a series on educational problems.

Last week I discussed the meanings of universal accessibilty. Today, particularly in the light of the Bladen report that was published last week, I am going to look at the real costs facing the university student, and begin to show why free education is a necessary step; and soon.

REAL COSTSFor the student attending univer­

sity there are five main areas of real expense. These include tui­tion fees, associated society orga­nizational, and athletic fees, laboratory fees and the cost of books. Then there are living expenses »which include room and board, clothes, transportation, and insurances. Last but by no means least, are expenses for recrea­tion.

The parents of most students contribute his living expenses. The student himself pays his tuition expenses books, etc., from his summer earnings ( if he was fortu­nate enough to find satisfactory employment) and by loans, scho­larships, and bursaries when they are both needed and available.

The state, which is by law in the BNA Act the province, fulfills part of its responsibility by providing grants to the universities and aid to needy students.

ONE MORE BIG EXPENSE -There is however one more large pense which the student attending

university has to pay.: and he pays in the form of at least two thousand dollars each year he attends uni­versity. This expense is in the form of “ manque A gagner” — earnings foregone.

Earnings forgone is one of the main reason why lower income groups do not wish to, and more often cannot afford to have a son or daughter in university. Because coupled with the earnings foregone are all the costs outlined above.

The parent has raised a child for about seventeen years prior to his entering college These years are full of sacrifices and now the parents are asked to provide for at least another four years of sacrifice with no economic return to them.

The upper income groups can often afford this, and good luck to them. But society is not made up primarily of upper income groups and for the bulk of society four years of university is a real expense.

WHAT TO DOIt is evident that the costs of

education have to be reduced as an expense for the individual and his parents before universal acces­sibility can become any sort of a reality. The problem of earnings foregone will probably be with us for many many years and it will continue to be the expense born by the student.

So the only fair solution is to reduce the expenses in other areas. However, since the student is bearing the brunt of the expenses,

fees as well as earnings foregone it is only fair to start the reduc­tions here.

FREE-FEE EDUCATIONThe practical point at which to

start would be to remove tuition fees so that the only real expense borne by the student would be ear­nings foregone. The income a student could accumulate from summer earnings could be used to help defray his living expenses.

Using bursaries and loans to help defray these expenses is not the best method. Few students can really afford heavy debt on gradua­tion.

Many, including Bladen, feel that the advantages of a university edu­cation should be paid for by the student in an economic fashion.

I agree with the principle but am whole heartedly against the method. Not all fields of study lead to high income jobs. The advantages of university education can and should be paid for after graduation in the form of graduated taxes.

The more a university education raises your level of salary the more tax you will have to return for educational purposes. Can any way be more fair and democratic than that?

It allows all to enter university, rich and poor alike, on an equal standing, and asks repayment through graduated taxes. Educa­tion is of value to our economy.. . FREE fees must come and soon.

recommend free education imme­diately.

“ I whole-heartedly agree with him” said Barry Barnes. He continued to say that the report was a basically good one, however it did not say — “ free fees.” Mr. Barnes said, that a large barrier today was the inability of universities to support all students, however, anevengreater barrier was tuition fees.

Free education has become a neglected concern, for although Tommy Douglas is in favour, the other leaders unfortunately have not taken the stand. Although the report suggests that action should be taken on the federal level, Mr Barnes points out that this is definitely a provincial concern.

Education minister Paul Gerin- Lajoie has said in relation to recommendations that it is no problem for Quebec. He said “ We w ill certainly adopt the same at­titude we have taken in recent years. That is opting out and getting physical compensation.”

Canada are those concerning increase of federal government to increase its share of responsibi­lity for higher education.

Politicos scepticalPolitical leaders are sceptical

on the report. While endorsing the general aims of the Bladen Commission’s report on the Financing of higher Education, political leaders have expressed doubts about some aspects of its recommendations.

Prime Minister Pearson said the additional federal aid “ must be in a for m which does not, of course, interfere in any way with the prime responsibility and constitu­tional jurisdiction of the provinces in this field” . He has not yet commented on the report’ s proposal to make one federal minister responsible for higher education.

Conservative leader John Die- fenbaker has previously come out in favor of increases in federal grants to universities on the scale

of those recommended in the

Bladen Report, and has indicated

his desire to reduce tuition fees.

Dean Vincent Bladen

Although he agrees with Lajoie, he points out that Lajoie does not mention compensation as applied to the university, and Mr. Barnes states, “ As students we should demand it .”

The University of Montreal Professors Association have called the report recommendation unconstitutional and t o t a l l y unacceptable. Barnes feels that the report could never apply to Quebec.

However, some of the findings could be applied to our somewhat unique case.

Principal and Vice-Chancellor Robert C. Rae studies a copy o f the recently issued Bladen Commission Report. The Principal also made a statement on the recommendations o f the Report, outlined on page 5.

The fight for free educationThe SUS Council Friday released a statement

on the absorbtion of the tuition fee in the light of the recent Bladen Commission report, a controversial educational document concerning university financing which was prepared for the Canadian Association of Colleges and Universities

Council strongly advocates the support of the Quebec government in the probability of the province’s opting out of the plan, which involves federal aid to education. The Province of Quebec w ill obviously not tolerate any stepping on its educational toes such as the Bladen Report recommends. The Council approved the Report insofar as it recognized the immediacy of improving the financing of higher education, but labelled “ nonsense” the statement that the absorbtion of the tuition fees would be a wasteful measure.

In this stand. Council must be firm ly supported. We are fighting for free education. The Bladen Report or no Bladen Report, free education w ill come, soon. If we are not the ones to win it, our younger brothers and sisters w ill be. Free education w ill come for this generation; but we must fight for it.

The first step toward acheiving free education is the absorbtion of the tuition fee, the largest single financial barrier to would-be students. The students of Canada are crying for universal accessibility, making academic standing the only qualification for entrance to an institution of post-secondary education. Bursaries and loans are not good enough. It is unfair that some students should have to pass a means test to gain admission while others do not. This is imposing restrictions on who should and who should not have an education above and beyond the high school level.

But we must be realistic about this aim. It is important that we look as far into the future as we are able when concidering the problems that would arise from such a step; but we must not look at these seeming obstacles pessimistically. Remember, that by the time free education actually comes, many of these problems w ill cease to exist, while others will at least have reached a dimension at which they can be tackled.

Overcrowding of u n i v e r s i t i e s already overcrowded is the inevitable stumbling block. Some see the only way of keeping enrollment down as raising the standards higher and higher. By accepting only those with 85% and over, we are defeating the prupose of post-secondary education. We are not here only to help the more brilliant components of this society. In this day and the day come it is essential that as many people as possible receive greatest degree of education of which they are capable.

By the advent of free education musch of the burden should be taken o ff the university itself by the incorporation o f practical training given by business, industruy, labor, etc. These are the people who should be aiding the government in education the public, the people who w ill benefit most directly. Perhaps this seems farfetched, but it is a definite possibility. We cannot see into the future. We can try to anticipate the problems that may arise, but must remember the diminishing faculty of time.

The money is available for the immediate absorbtion of university tuition fees. It becomes a question of priority. W ill the federal government rank education as the most pressing need of the moment? It is up to us to see that it does.

Letters ta th e , EditorO u r mistake

“ Dear Madam,The September 29 issue o f the

Georgian contained a big error in regard to the allocation o f seats in the last Model Parliament of S.G.W.U. In the article titled, “ S.G. the Liberals a close fight and lost erroneously that the N.D.P. gave the Luberals a close fight and lost the election by Just one seat; while the “ Progressive Conservatives were hardly in the race.” Accor­ding to my recollection the distri­bution o f the seats at the last Model Parliament were as follows: Liberals 24, P.C. 14, N.D.P. 12. Apparently, the neophyte reporter who wrote this article is completely ignorant ofthe political situation at S.G.W.U. The onus is on you to be aware o f such unqualified reporters.

It is also your responsibility to see that the Georgian carries an objective analysis o f all political activities. That issue completely neglected the Progressive Con­servatives and the N.D.P. It was well known that Mr. Seveigny and Mr. Gifford were at the Clubs Rally. To give an exclusive interview only to Mr. Prudhomme is blatant propagnanda for the Liberals.

Frosh "editorials”Dear Madam,

Every year around this time, the ‘Georgian’ prints editorials written by freshmen who have nothing better to do than criticize our institution.

John J. Scott’s letter in October 5th’s issue attacked everything from the library to the washrooms. It is obvious that he is a freshman by the mere fact that he doesn’t even know where our washrooms are situated.

Why do we have to contend with these freshmen that only succeed in making damn fools of them­selves ?

Chris G. Eustace, Arts 11.

Help!Dear Madam,May I use your columns to solicit

the assistance of your readers? In brief, I would like to know “ What they wish they had known before coming to College” .

I am now writing a book for Canadian high school and college students. Some of the proposed sixteen chapters are, Selecting C a n a d i a n College, Selecting Courses, The Care and Feeding of Professors, Information Dis­play, Instant Sophistication, The S e a r c h for Maturity and Residence Life.

Anyone who has time to write during this busy period may reach me c/o U.N.B., Fredericton, N.B.

PornographyDear Madam,

I would like to comment on Mr. H a r r i s o n ’ s pseudo­intellectual article (s ic ) on porno­graphy along with the pseudo-lurid covers and descriptions there in (Georgian Sept. 28, 1965). Surely even John Harrison must reaUze that the people interested in such books already know all about them

and those not interested in them remain uninterested. Why devote a full page of a University paper to such trash.

Incidentally, seeing as Mr. Har­rison is also President of the Georgian Players, (strayingalittle out of his field ) I am led to believe that if they produce another first-class play this year, as they have in the past, it will be in spite of Mr. Harrison, not because of him.

By the way, Madam Editor, why do you not reply to questions ad­dressed to you in the “ Letters to the Editor” column as all other Editor’s of newspapers do ? Surely the letter in the Oct. 5th, Georgian signed G.R.P. deserves, i f not a reply, at least a “ Thank You” for the extra-ordinary work involved in proof-reading an entire copy of the Georgian (an almost impossible task due to all the errors of omis­sion). P.S. To whom do the gorgeous gams belong in the Pu­blications Board announcement on page 7, of the Oct. 5th, Georgian ?

Maurice Michaluk.

Enh?

On the other hand, I find that the general content of the paper, especially the news pages, was incredibly poor. Lead paragraphs said nothing, and by-lines were horriply misspeUed or absent.

One thing I feel should be controlled is the misuse of infor­mation gathered. I refer mainly to the article written on my acclamation as Arts Faculty President. I was terribly misquo­ted and wish to restate that it was unfortunate that the young lady who wished to run against me was not able to get her nomination forms in on time. I was not at all pleased with the outcome — as you quoted (or misquoted) me. Also, I must emphaticaUy state that I never mentioned Nazis when I referred to open forums on political ideo­logies.

I won’t even mention the fact that you made no statement of the recent resignations on your board.

Last (and least) are the features pages. Although the layout of those pages was good, the content reminded me of grade six. Again, a sizeable space was donated to the Georgian Players. It is touching that The Georgian is so philan­thropic to that organization. Perhaps it is a blessing in disquise that the features editor (who heads the Players) has resigned. IIIIIIIIIIIIIUIIIHllllIlllllimilltlllllllllllllllllUIHtHIUIIlUl

As I said, things are, indeed, looking a bit brighter. With a fresh new staff, such as a new News Editor, Assistant Editor, C.U.P. Editor, Secretary, etc., you should - be able to produce a first class publication this year that any young g irl could be proud to bring home to her folks.

Cordially yours,Gilbert Block, Arts IV

Limit requestsIt is true. Education costs are

rising, but not only for the student.There is a pressing demand for

the removal of fees upon entering university. I know this would be a much appreciated event to the majority of students, and it w ill eventually come about.

But right now our country is floundering about, seeking some­thing I hope it finds on November 8. We are all aware of the numerous troubles our democracy has, with education rating high on * the list.

The request for student salaries, that is, the student receiving money while in university, is disgraceful. ^ The student is privileged and has great potential towards himself and *others. Think rationally! 4

“ Dear Madam,I would like to express my

compliments and criticism of the last issue of The Georgian, for I find that things are looking a bit brighter in the realm of your publication.

The layout and general artistic appearance of your last issue was unbelievably good. Pictures were clearer and advertisments were well positioned. One good thing was the change in the appearance of your editorial page. Even though your cartoonist is not a member of the University, he, too, did a good job.

vice-chancellor of Sir George emphasized in a comment to the Georgian on Friday that one of the major moves urged by the Bladen report, freezing o f fees at their present level, has always been one of the basic tenets of the Sir George administration.

Principal Rae. in discussing the report said “ Sir George has always attempted to keep its fees at a reasonable level; this is one aspect

of the Bladen report that I may freely endorse.*'

“ However, I must say that I cannot comment further on the report at this time, the principal added. He explained that he has not hard time to study the report in all its detail and must therefore reserve comment to a later date.

He further explained that Sir George students may count on the administration to take a strong stand on the report through the Canadian Association of Colleges and Universities.

Seconded!Dear Editor,

Recently I was accosted in the halls of Sir George by one of the basement p o l i t i c i a n s who was seeking election to the student government. He pointed out that if I helped him get elected ^pre­sumably by voting for him), he would help get rid of the apathy of the students and present to the “ outside” a new image of the

school. I ’m sure that had be given more and deeper thought to the issues involved he would have realized that his approach would have meant political suicide.

For one thing, if the students were not apathetic tie wouldn’t tiave been able to present such a niggling platform. The name of this particular candidate is really of no importance, because his platform is of no importance and he is just representative of ttie mass of the student “ power elite” . I for one can’t see anything wront with student apathy. In tact I feel that the present p r e v a i l i n g conditions are its spawn i ng grounds. How does one expect enthusiasm for an institution that lias dragged his ideals and hopes through the labyrinths of despair? In events of importance the students are allowed no voice, and enthusiasm for the choice of red balloons instead of green ones for a dance cannot cause too much stir except for the insane.

As students we came to the university to learn, to be taught how to think, to be guided toward a sense of ourselves and our relationship to our society. We were promised a chance to develop our potentials. Instead we were taught to memorize, were fitted with courses picked as if from a supermarket sheland told that after

Le journaliste et la liberte de presseDepuis que les journaux existent, il y a un conflit entre les

liommes d’affaires proprietaires de ces publications et les journalistes qui en noircissent les pages. II s ’agit d’un conflit d’ interet, qui sont tout-a-fait differents selon qu’on est journaliste ou proprietaire de publication.

II est normal de considerer que celui qui a investi de l ’ argent dans une entreprise veuille qu’elle rapporte autant que s ’ il avait investi dans d’autres domaines. Pour ce faire, il doit avoir recours a la publicite. Done, une grande partie de l ’espace disponible dans les journaux est occupee par des annonces publicitaires qui sont plus ou moins vraies, selon les annonceurs.

Le journaliste, lui, veut, par les pages d’un journal, exprimer sa pensee. C ’est d’ailleurs pour cela qu’on retient ses services. Quand je dis journaliste, je ne parle pasdu reporter, qui doit rapporter les faits divers qui peuvent devenir d’ interet public, ou ceux qui ont pour tache d’arranger les nouvelles qui sont transmises par les agenees de presse disseminees a travers le monde. Je veux parler des “ editorialistes” , a defaut d’un terme plus adequat.

Pour un journal, l ’ editorialiste est d’une grande importance. C ’est son interpretation de toutes sortes de faits que le public veut connaftre. Mais, voici ou naft le conflit. D’une part, la publicite vous dicte une ligne de conduite. D’autre part, dans le meme journal, un chroniqueur donne une opinion contraire.

II faut admettre 1’ importance de la publicite. Si ce n’etait d’elle, il n’y aurait pas de fonds pour le payer, ce pauvre editorialiste Mais qui devrait avoir priorite ?

Le journaliste devrait avoir le droit de rester tout-a-fait indepen­dant vis-a-vis de la politique publicitaire du journal; demander qu’ il ecrive tel ou tel article pour plaire a un commanditaire devrait etre un cas qui n’arrive jamais. Pas plus, d’ailleurs, que de lui defendre d’ecrire un article parce que son opinion peut blesser un annonceur.

Ceux qui prennent la peine de lire les lignes d’un editorialiste sont, soit en quete d’une opinion sur un probleme donne, soit capable de critiquer l ’opinion emise par l ’ editorialiste. Hs seront ses suppor- teurs, si son opinion a su leur plaire par le passe, ou ses critiques s ’ ils sont en mesure de comparer leurs idees avec ceUes du journaliste.

Done, il ne faudrait pas assimiler la page editoriale a la pensee de toute la redaction et toute l ’ administration d’une publication. L ’article ecrit par un journaliste ne doit que reveler la pensee de celui qui l ’ ecrit, et de lui seul. Sinon, qu’est-ceque vaut l ’ article et, partant, la signature de celui qui l ’a ecrit?

Done, pour qu’un journal ait une utilite autre que de faire connaitre les “ chiens ecrases” , il faut qu’ il soit le m irroir d’un grand nombre d’opinions individuelles, des opinions de vrais journalistes qui ont des idees a emettre et non seulement du papier a noircir.

Naturellement, on ne voit pas non plus une publication remplie a craquer d’editoriaux. II faut de l ’ information et de la publicite (s i on prend cette derniere au sens d’ information commerciale). Qu’on se le dise, et que nos journaux nous donnent plus d’opinions vraies, d’opinions de gens en qui on peut avoir confiance ou qui se portent a la critique constructive.

we have saved 21 coupons (23 for Commerce), we are entitled to a certificate which will unlock the gates to Eden.

As students, we are the most important elements of the univer­sity. Without us the university as an entity would cease to exist. Yet, we are denied the minutest amount of respect — we are not treated as human beings. The vast majority of students go through university without a professor even knowing their names. A curriculum is presented in which the student lias had no consultation.

His only power being that of the consumer — to buy or not to buy. Events that are shaping his future are not discussed. So out of touch are the universities, that many of the jobs that he is being prepared for won’t exist in ten years because of the cybernetic revolution, a phenomenon not even mentioned in school. Almost haH the world is communist yet a communist is denied the RIGHT to explain what communism is. Here I refer to the Kashan incident. The struggle for c ivil rights has already ravished Harlem and Los A n g e l e s , and promises to grow even more fierce in the future, yet this is not discussed in the university.

Canada is on the v e r g e of d i s s o l u t i o n and our student

politicians are arguing about the various merits of Pearson and Diefenbaker. much like they did about liockey-card heroes when they were y o u n g e r . Our lives, values, goals, and destinies are manipulated by the mass media, yet the university does not help us cope with or understand this phenomenon and o f f e r s no alternatives to the meretricious style of life presented.

Indeed, if the university is a place where one seeks knowlege rather than a trade, it is betray­ing us, for it is preparing us for the past rather than the future. And as for the amateur politician who proposed to give Sir George a new “ image” , I think that he had b e t t e r be quick, for the present facade is peeling quick and behind it lies the outline of a gigantic hoax.

My soon to be Alma Mater seems to wish to become my Alta Mama (old mother), protecting me for the present from what I inevitably must face in the future and in this it is wrong. It should prepare me rather than protect. And so ask not for me to be non-apathetic to my university, but r a t h e r ask not my university to be apathetic to me.

SAYFY COMMENTS ON FROSH MONTH

the new smart & slimmer

Lee Leensand

Levi Slims

by Sherry RubinsteinMr. Ivars Sayfy, chairman of

the 1965 Freshman Month Committee, representing the Student Undergraduate Society, commented on the success of this year’s introduction “ which provi­ded the incoming freshmen with a kaleidoscope of s tudent activities” .

The programme was aimed at giving first-year students a general conception of university life—both social and academic. The committee attempted to emphasize the need for freshmen to participa­te in extra-curricular activities within the university, Mr. Sayfy said.

Commenting on the first event o f the month, the Shoeshinerama, in aid of Cystic Fibrosis, Mr. Sayfy said, “ Despite despicable student apathy, all the people who worked on Shoeshinerama helped to make it a success, more so than last year.”

On final count, the students who canvassed, collected $1100 as compared to last year’s $750.

Chairman of the ‘Shinerama, Mr. John Sibales, said that there were no more than fifty teams out at one time, although the committee had hoped for a hundred throughout the day.

Mr. Sibales said, “ Serving as chairman proved an enlightening and w o r t h w h i l e experience; however an event is only a partial success if there is only partial student participation. I hope that

the students who have worked for the school w ill manage to transmit their enthusiasm# to the whole student body, with the result being the elimination of student apathy.”

CFCF’s Dave Boxer broadcast his evening show from Birk’s Hall where a well-attended dance added to the success of the programme.

Clubs ra lly successfulThe Clubs Rally, directed by

Mr. Ian Lolla, also proved suc­cessful in achieving its aim of familiarizing f r e s h m e n with student societies.

Of the thirty-five clubs that participated, the Chinese Georgian Society was voted the best, judged on general display and layout of programme.

Referring to the cramped quarters of Budge Hall, Mr. Sayfy said, “ It has always been too small, but we hope that next year there w ill be sufficient space in the new building for a better Clubs Rally, so that students can have more time to view various clubs and organizations.”

The Mock T ria l which had been originally s c he du l e d , was cancelled, because there were not enough students willing to partici­pate In putting it on.

A highlight of Freshman Month was the Variety Show, whose chair­man Mr. Henry Roy, deemed it a

tremendous success. The show, which was ably M. C ’d by Mr. Bob Gilles, and featured' such outstanding performers as. the Newlanders and Penny Laing, had to turn away 150 people from the door.

The Red Feather Blitz on September 30, directed by Mr. Fraser Blakely, was preceded by a pre-Blitz party at the Berkely Hotel. Many students dancedthemselves out and were too tired to go on the Blitz itself. But despite this, six of the nine buses were filled and Sir George surpassed its objective. The net total for Georgians was $1400.

Mr. Sibales remarked, “ It is unfortunate that McGill, saw fit to choose all the English-speaking districts, leaving Sir George with primarily French-speaking areas to canvas.”

Supporting Mr. Sibales’ state­ment, Mr. Sayfy said, “ I hope that in the future, the organizers from Red Feather and McGill will, have the consideration to divide the areas in a more equal fashion.”

Climaxed by * Autumn Capers'

The Freshman Month Program­me was climaxed by the Autumn Capers Ball, held at the Windsor Hotel.

The Queen, Anne Stuart, crowned by Principal R. Rae, received numerous gifts befitting her royal position.

Chances are you won’t find this AIR CANADA schedule among the intellectual nourishment avail­able in your university or college library. Yet, in not too many years, it could be an important bread and butter item on your everyday reading list. And for this very good reason; AIR CANADA can take you quickly, comfortably and conveniently to 35 Canadian cities, 7 major U.S. cities, and to Britain (with BOAC), Ireland, France, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Bermuda, Nassau, and the Caribbean, on matters of business, pleasure and profit.

Al R CANADA

The Faculty Queens were selected as follows: Arts, Jane Richardson; Commerce, NaOmi Kolber, Science, Joanne Hutcheon; Engineering, Anna Zawadska.

The ball proved to be the biggest success of the entire programme.

Reviewing the budget, vice- chariman and treasurer Mr. Peter Sheppard said, “ Considering the money allocated to Freshman Month, all the programmes were financially successful.”

Commenting on “ the Month” as a whole, Chairman Sayfy said, “ Taking the whole programme in perspective, it was totally success­ful and I hope this will be an incentive for all future chairmen to improve the quality of various events offered to be Freshmen.

I think that Freshman Month should be one of the most impor­tant activities of the academic year and it is only through continual improvement from year to year that this can be accomplished.”

SAC group to hold open meetThe newly formed Investigation

committee of the SUS appointed to look into formation of a social action committee of the university will hold its first open meeting next week for the purpose of samp­ling student opinion on the subject.

The function of a social action committee, should it be formed, would be to provide social service to needy groups and individuals on ' behalf of the university and under the auspices of the Student’s Un­dergraduate Society.

One project foressen by council is provision of students to act as tutors for high school pupils particularly those in the under­developed area of the city. Another project would be to provide group leaders and social workers to such agencies as the YMCA, boys clubs and other social welfare groups.

Greg Mason, chairman of the SUS publicity department, and a member of the investigation committee explained that there are two conflicting philosophies con­cerning a social committee of this nature.

One he said is to volunteer the group to established social welfare agencie such as those mentione above.

The other is for the students involved in the project to go out on their own offering their help to individuals or groups who need it. This philosophy is similar to that endorsed by SUP A (the Student Union for Peace Action).

Which of these philosophies, or methods of action, will eventually be adopted by the young group is expected to be decided at an open meeting scheduled for 1:10 p.m. on Thursday, October 15.

The sus investigation committee looking into the matter is com­posed of internal v-p Ron Luciano science faculty president William Hernandez and publicity chairman Greg Mason.

Both Mr. Mason and Mr. Luciano have issued public statements cal­ling for the support of the student, body and have urged students to express their opinions by showing up and participating in, next week’ s meeting.

A protesting Montreal City police officer attempts to leave the premises late F riday afternoon after being caught by a large number o f literal-minded students leaving the basement washroom without a student card.

An open letter to the Board of GovernorsDear Sirs;

Last year I recieved a letter from Professor Bedford, as all Georgians did, which upon close analysis revea’ ed that he was asking for dialogue to be established throughout the University.

As a student here, I know that the University Council on Student L ife is composed of members from the student body, the faculty, the administration, and the Board of Governors. I therefore assume that all of these bodies want to establish a dialogue with each other.

As a student here, I assume the end result of this type of dialogue would hopefully benefit me and my peers. This follows from the conculsion that Sir George Williams University was founded for the benefit of students.

As a student here, I realize that you, the ultimate decision-making body of the University, quite regularly make decisions that affect students like me. Be it a proposed new building, an increase in the library. budget, a policy statement on expansion of courses, programs and degrees, of any of a million other considerations for which you bear the ultimate rsponsibily, your decision affects me.

As a student here, presently enrolled in a four-year program, I quite realize that my peers or I could not even dream of making decisions of such enormous weight and impact on other students, if only because I will only spend a limited amount o f time here, and dont have the time to accumulate and absorb the background material and experience to make these decisions. Neither can I expect to give the continuity of policy-making which is important to a venture of this magnitude.

As a student here, I am a bit confused on one point, however. How do you know what I want? How do you know how I feel about thecurriculum? How do you know what I think would be best for me asa student at Sir George Williams University? I am asking these questions, because if you are acting in by benefit, you must have ths information. But you have never asked me about these things. How then do you know?

As a student here, I can’t help but feel that there might just besome things that I know about myself as a student that you may notknow. You are no doubt aware that there are students in some parts of the world who feel strongly about sharing their thoughts quite freely.

As a student here, I know that in some cases, because of this lack of dialogue between groups within the University, there has been trouble. We all read about Berkeley in our newspaper. Of course, many have told me that this could not happen here, and I am relieved.

Seminar has arranged to have three experts on Southeast Asiai affairs to speak this year. In addition there will be a panel discussion with local scholars participating.

Bernard Fall, noted author and expert on Vietnam will deliver his address on Tuesday November 2. Mr. Fall, born in France, fought with the free French forces in World War II. In the early 1950’s he went to

Southeast Asia to witness the French Indo-Chinese war. Because of his french citizenship he was allowed to accompany French troops on numerous campaigns and was, therefore, in a position to see many unknown facets of the situation.

After the war, Mr. Fall settled in the United States where he earned his Ph. D. and became an American citizen. This past summer he returned to Vietnam for three months to observe and write about the war.

Mr. Fall is currently Professor of Government at Howard University in Washington, D.C. He is the author of two books on Vietnam, “ Two Vietnams” , and “ Street Without Joy.” He is also author of several articles on Southeast Asia.

Robert Browne will speak on November 3. He is a Professor of •> Government at Fairleigh — Dickenson University and is an American a citizen. He worked on the American Aid program in Vietnam for the ” U.S. government and is particularly knowledgeable on the Bhuddist I situation. His wife is Vietnamese. Mr. Browne is responsible for several articles on the Vietnamese situation.

William Willmot Professor of Sociology and Anthropology, at tfl University of British Columbia, w ill speak November 5. He was borri^ in China and educated in North America. He is a former resident of Montreal and an expert on Cambodia.

The panel discussion will take place November 4 in Birks Hall- from 9:30 a.m. to noon.

Prominent delegates to attend Seminar

Hopes are high for the success of the Seventh Annual Seminer on International Affairs. This five- day event will see delegates from such prominent universities as Carleton, College Militaire Royale, Dalhouse, McGill, Hotstra and London School of E c o n o m i c s . London University w ill be repre­sented by two Asian Students from Malaysia and Hong Kong.

The Seminar research staff consists of four people who have worked all summer to prepare material for the delegates. This material has been taken from the Montreal Star and the New York Times and from several news

magazines. The material has been catalogued, indexed and has been mounted in scrap books. Delagates w ill be able to draw on this material for their papers and their discuss­ion periods.

A special delegate is Vyacheslav Zharkov, the representative from the USSR now attending McGill University. This m the second time in Seminar’s history that a Russian delagate w ill be present. An observer from the Canadian Union of Students will also attend.

Three finance methods usedSeminar is financed in three ways. Money is donated by

Industry, delegates pay a forty dollar registration fee, and a combination SUS-ESA grant is made. This year approximately half of the business firms canvassed donated funds, and $1425 was collected from industry. The bulk of this came from several large Corporations in the Montreal area.

Seminar has asked the combined student governments for a total of $5500, $3500 from the SUS and the remainder from the E.S.A. It is not known at present if this amount will be forthcoming.

The remainder of the money will come from delegate registra­tion fees. This sum will cover room and board. Although Seminar usually operates with a budget of about $9000 it has never ended the year with a deficit.

Seminar distributes its funds to several areas. It issues travel grants, particularly to overseas students studyingin North America and doing graduate work. It pays honorariums and travel expenses to guest speakers and panelists. It meets Meal and Hotel costs not covered by the delegate fees, and must pay numerous administrative expenses.

Two Lively Lunchtime PlaysThe Private Ear

Although Peter Schaffer’s play, “ The Private Ear” Is a one-act play, It is so powerful that the audience finds itself emotionally exhausted at its ’ conclusion. Co­medy- and pathos are combined and the moods of the characters change so rapidly that the audience’s attention is not lost for a moment.

The plot deals with a sensitive young man who meets a g irl at a concert and invites her to his

home for dinner. To boost his morale, he also extends an invita­tion to a friend from the office whom he considers to be “ a man of the world” .

DOREEN M ORRIS

Ian De Voy, playing the lead, portrays his part to perfection. His characterization is excellent and very believable. He is an extremely unhappy Individual who is seeking an escape from his hum­

drum existance, but cannot find one. As a substitute, he buries himself in his love for classical music. This however, results In his stereo becoming a "private ear” for all of his problems, and he confides in it. In Doreen, the girl at the concert, he hopes to achieve the human relationship he so desperately desires only to be thwarted and disappointed.

Don Scalan, playing the part of his friend, provides a strong con­trast to De Voy. He is overly suave and composed. He covers

Vladimir A shkenazyThe young Russian pianist

VLADIMIR ASHKENSZY gave an extraordinary piano recital, to an almost full house et Place Ville Marie, on October 4.

Mr. Ashkenazy, making his third public appearance in Montreal, performed works by Bach, Schu­mann, Ravel and Debussy.

Bach’s “ PARTITA NO 2” , the opening work, began well, but tended to lose the melodic line In the middle movements. If was an uninspired performance of Bach until the final movements. The rondo and capricio were alive and moving. From then on, Ashkenazy soared.

The performance of Schumann’s " E T U D E S SYMPHONIQUES” , captured the subtlety of every phrase with a master touch. The last movement was particularly sparkling. The work, written when the composer was three years younger than Ashkenazy, (he’s 28) consists of a theme and twelve variations.

For “ GASPARD DE LA NUIT” , Ashkenazy sat bent over his Steinway like an old man . . . the piano rumbled its ’ warning and then — Ravel ! ! ! His interpretation was brilliant. His command of this p a l l e t t e of shifting coruscating colour and mood was masterful. He overcame every

technical difficulty with extraor- g dinary virtuosity.

“ PAVANE POUR UNE INFANTE| DEEUNTE” , shows the romantic | Ravel. It is a work of impressive § dignity and beauty, and Ashkena- | zy ’s Interpretation evoked great | warmth and feeling.

The final work, Dfebussy’s | “ L ’ISLE JOYEUSE” , climaxed the | impressionistic style he has evol-1 ved. This reporter Is not familiar 1 with the work, but Mr. Ashkenaxy’sg performance was electrifying!

He obliged the enthusiastic au-| dience with a Debussy encore, f and Schubert’ s “ IMPROMPTU NO 2” . Although played too fast, the* work left the audience over-1 whelmed.

It was an excellent concert, and* Ashkenazy proved himself to be a| pianist of the very highest calibre.* It will be interesting to see him | twenty years from now.

Montreal’s Baroque TrioThe Sir George Williams Uni­

versity Concert Series w ill open on Friday. October 15, with a

recital in Birks Hall at 8:40 p.m. by the Baroque Trio of Montreal.

The trio consists of Mario Dus-

his feelings of inferiority by being overly-patronizing to his torment­ed friend. At the same time he manages to get a good deal of humour over to the audience.

Doreen is both pathetic and also hysterically funny. Sidonle Kerr, a talented young actress, seems to enjoy as well as understand, the part of this vacant, lonely typist who craves affection.

The play is staged well. Move­ment is good and several Interes­ting stage effects are used, particularly in the dinner scene.

Lunch HourPlace V ille Marie Instant

Theatre’s production, “ Lunch Hour” is thirty minutes of light

llcomedy. At first, the theme seems igjito border on the absurd, but as lithe play progresses, we appreciate ||that it is based on the working ||of a psychotic mind.|| A young woman becomes totally II involved in what she should realize

S A N D R A SCHACHTER

|is an imaginary tale, and the play gjfocuses on the Importance she gjplaces on insignificant details. The Stale, invented by her companion, |:George Carron, is an explanation |to the hotel manageress of their I desire go for a room during lunch Sfiour. He t e l l s her that his explanation to the manageress was,

|i — they are married and have three llchlldren.

His intentions are obvious to everyone. It becomes preposte­rously farcical because she never imagines what these intentions really are. This story is a reality to her. She questions him about their marriage (which isn’t!) and their children (who aren’t!). While her companion is attempting to make the best of this hour, she is insisting the real reason he wants her there Is “ to discuss something very important” — he doesn’tlove her or the children anymore.

John Mortimer ought to be highly commended for his great talent In writing a play of such charm and amusement. Dialogue Is very clever, with touches of humor adding brightness to the entire scene.

Irene Balcer as the young woman, portrays the character quite effectively although she lacks naturalness in presentation. Her movements are strained, her manner or speech a bit too affected — all as a result of over-dramati­zation. It is a distraction, to say the least.

George Carron should be more dynamic. His role demands more life and more vitality than he offers.

Jean Lancemen, the manageress, gives a brilliant performance. Small as her role is; bursting Into the room at Inopportune moments and remaining when not at all welcome; she stands out nevertheless every moment on stage.

chenes, flute, Melvin Berman, oboe, and Kelsey Jones, harpsi- cord. They have been well received In Montreal, and the Gazette wrote of them, “ This is how chamber music of the Baroque period ought to be played.”

Mario Duschenes received his musical training at the Geneva Conservatory of Music, where he obtained the “ Prix de Vlrtuoslte” In 1946. After touring Europe for two years with the “ Ensemble Ars Antigua” , he came to Canada and rapidly made a reputation for himself as an outstanding flautist and recorder player. In June 1957 he recorded various chamber works with the French flautist Jean-Pierre Rampal and the harpsichordist V e r y o n - Lacroix in Paris.

Melvin Berman was formerly first oboist of the New Orleans Symphony Orchestra, the Ballet Theatre Orchestra for New York, and the Boston Pops Orchestra under Arthur Fiedler. He is now solo oboist of the Montreal Symphony Orchestra and of the CBC Orchestra. He is a member of the Faculty of the Quebec Pro­vincial Conservatoire and of Hartt College in Hartford, Connecticut, where he received his Master of Music.

Children laughed and played.The day I fellsun shone onthe shady streets,old ladies gossipedand smacked theirunruly rabbleInto submission.Little girls skipped and played rope.We played cops ’n’ robbers . up to the rooftops,I climbed to hide on top of the world, there to make my valiant stand, but htere they got me twice through the belly,I doubled overand stumbled then whirledand fell two flightsto the pavement below . . .I broke my jaw on both sides.

Kelsey Jones received his Doc­torate in Music from the University of Toronto in 1951. In Paris he was a pupil of Nadia Boulanger. Dr. Jones is also well known in Canada as a pianist and composer, and his works have received performances by leading artists and orchestras both here and abroad. He is a member of the staff of the McGill Conserva- torium, where he teaches harpsi­chord, counterpoint and fugue. On tour and in Montreal he performs on a harpsichord made by Robert Gable of Oxford.

R E V IE W ...Onibaba...The Japanese cinematographers

have given us lately some very stimulating films. Films such as YOJIMBO, THE ISLAND and WOMAN IN THE DUNES have placed them among the best in international film making.

The latest Japanese film to hit

the Montreal art — film scene is a shocker entitled ONIBABA made by the now famous creator of THE ISLAND, Kaneto Shindo.

THE ISLAND, as those who have seen the film can remember dealt with the struggle of a family living in the centre of an arid island, enduring thirst and hunger. During the course of the film, not a single word was uttered. It wasn’t necessary. The film was a poem set to motion and its emotional impact was made more evident that way. ONIBABA deals again with the problem of hunger and to what extent people w ill go in order to avoid famine. Here the problem i s exploited more explicitly and savagely than in THE ISLAND 'and perhaps this

simple fact will make viewers prefer the more subtle and human previous film.

The action takes place in the sixteenth or seventeenth century when a war is ravaging Japan. Close to the warfront an old woman and her young daughter- in-law are trying to survive by the spoils of war. The film opens with a blatant scene murder and horror. Two samurai, old, fatigued from oattle one supporting the other in their futile attempt to get out of the grass country and to uncertain safety, are murdered by the two women. They are stripped naked, thrown into a hole and their clothing and armour are sold for two sacks of millet. The incident is repeated, more viciously, a second time, with a third party, an army deserter joining in.

The young woman’s husband was killed, not in action (which is very Ironic) but by a band of villagers who beat him to death for having stolen one of their chickens. Husbandless but s t i l l possessing

her s e x u a l desires she finds gratification in the deserter’ s sexual proficiency. The oldwoman tries to dissuade the younger one from ^following her own sexuality because she is afraid that she’ll be left alone. Everyone acts sel­fishly, for his own comfort and pleasure. Probably this is the message of the film, if one is supposed to be there. The young woman follows her youth and the old one, in despair impersonates a demon in the middle of the night

scaring the g irl completely out of her amorous escapades. Under their conditions tragedy has to follow. But the characters perhaps deserve what happens to them at the end because they have brought it upon themselves willingly.

I found the film slightly commer­cial in its presentation. In parts its symbolism is too obvious. I mean that the author has Injected symbolism where there was no

place for it. The hole, for instance. He wants it to symbolize or the darkness of the victims of man’s criminal nature are rotting in its depths. But the old woman descends in it, for her own profit, and comes out again safe and sound although the consequences of her descent are felt at the conclusion of the picture.

The locale of the picture is reaUy ingeniously chosen. The whole of the action takes place in an ocean of tall grass that has everything in it ’s density and impenetrability. Those who get in rarely get out. Naturally, the director has taken full advantage of the tall blades of grass. In his hands the grass becomes a rippling sea, a tangled forest of sea-weed a myriad of outdrawn swords, a scorching white fire that consumes everything in it ’s path, a dark curtain behind which the people lide themselves, thier thoughts and their deeds. The grass becomes an obsession, an unreality, a a miama thick enough to conceal a microcosm of blaphemous and devitalized things that can still be

oalled human beings; the people who have become slithering scorpians that survive on the blood of those who have accidentally strayed in.

The acting is beyond reproach. The actors seem to have grown into their roles which makes them that much more believable. As for the director, Kaneto Shindo, it can be said that he can be better, in my opinion, if he abandons the idea that commercialism w ill «e l l his pictures. The sooner he gets rid of it, the faster he’l l become great In the tradition of Bunuel, Antonio­ni, Truffaut and Bergman,.

The film w ill become a great success with the Montreal Film Boards, not because of it ’s nudityf not because of it ’ s lovemaking (both of which have been exploited to their fullest in the film ) but because this is a good film, in the best Japanese style. It is beautifully, atmospherically, and certainly realistically photograph­ed. The musical score is complete­ly original and exiting; the acting is savage and, save for the few errors of judgement made by Shindo, this would have been a great film.

The Traditional Blues

ALL KINDS O F BLUES

— MEMPHIS SLIM sings and plays the kind of blues that emerged in the late twenties, after the mass migrations of n e g r o e s to the Northern industrialized states. It

l has been called Urban, or City blues and it grew out of the conflicts the negro found in ‘the big city’ . The music was a harsher form of blues than the earlier forms. It took for its subjects, the poverty

'"'and despair of the impovrished l and often unemployed negroes who L roamed the streets of Chicago, r New York and Kansas City, cold, j hungry and afraid. The music took

to its bosom the world images I k conjured up by the brothels, gin Wr mills, tenements and factories.

\ MEMPHIS SLIM

BORN in 1915, in M E M P H I S TENNESSEE, Slim (whose given name is PETER CHATMAN) was exposed at a very early age, to the radio and phonograph. Also, Slim’s f a t h e r was a b l u e s performer in the Urban tradition working in small ‘joints’ around Memphis. Slim started singingand playing early, while still in school and by the time he left Memphis in his early twenties, had attracted considerable attention. His first stop was Chicago and for a while, he had his own small groups work­ing in and out of Chicago. Later he w o r k e d with BIG B I L L BROONZY, and other better known artists. It was w i t h Big Bill Broonzy (guitar) that Memphis Slim crystallized his own style as a pianist and a singer.

C A R L LA W

One of MEMPHIS SLIM’S best L P ’s is “ A LL KINDS OF BLUES”

i on Bluesville 1053. By ‘best’ , I mean that his interpretive talent

" i s exposed in its many facets due » to the wide range this work covers. W Memphis Slim’s work stands

easily within the urban tradition, t he demonstrates constantly his ots in the earlier traditions of e blues. This album comprises

e blues, with and without vocal, twopounding b o o g i e woogie

ections.

Memphis Slim’s boogie woogie style is characterized by a heavy

insistent, rolling bass which tends to be lacking in the style o f-the older ‘boogie pianists such as MEADE LUX LEWIS, ALBERT

A M M O N S , J.P. JOHNSON, and PETE JOHNSON. BOOGIE WOOGIE is considered by some to be the first negro m u s i c to utilize ‘ European’ pianistic techniques.

The hybrid quality of Slim’s blues is apparent on all the tunes of this album. He begins, "BLUES IS. TROUBLES” , C H U R N I N ’ MAN BLUES” , and the anagramic “ IF YOU SEE KAY” , in the old talking blues style but midway through each tune he begins to make verses against his r o l l i n g piano. The modern ‘block’ chords of “ THE BLACKS” , or the slick cabaret style which he often utilizes, show a musical awareness not limited to strictly traditional ideas of where the blues performer must go for his ideas, and it is just this awareness, this broad approach that makes him such a thoroughly

descriptions of his day to day existence. Devotees of the blues are caught up more by the tradition and the atmosphere of the medium, than by the actual melodic quality of the music, which is sometimes

almost nonexistent. Much of the discord found in blues records however, is caused by inefficient recording processes. New releases are often pressed from master discs thirty or forty years old.

THE COUNTRY BLUES

“ THE COUNTRY BLUES” , Vol 2 FOLKWAYS / RBF 9 is an example of the more traditional blues performance. The a l bum contains a number, of different artistis, many of them relatively unknown. Some of the tracks are taken form old m a s t e r s while others were r e c o r d e d live by SAMUEL CHARTERS who edited the album. The themes revolve around w o m a n , prison, and d e s c r i m i n a t i o n . Most of the musical accompaniment is by guitar, twelve-string guitar, or mandolin, a l t h o u g h EDDIE K E LLY ’S WASHBOARD BAND and SONNY TERRY’S pulsating harmo­nica provide relie f when the steady diet of guitar begins to wear. This is definitely an album for the enthusiast since some of the moans and sound affects are b a r e l y recognizable as music. ‘ LEVEE CAMP M O A N ’ B Y T E X A S ALEXANDER is a particularly plaintive affair which tells the story of a convict, a popular theme in ‘ lowdown blues’ . Other numbers such as “ JEALOUS-HEARTED BLUES” , by CHARLIE LINCOLN, and “ I ’M ANOLD BUMBLE BEE” , by BO CARTER are ‘dirty blues’ , dealing with casual love-making.

two consecutive week-ends; the first at Sir George on October 16, and the second in Ste. Agathe at the Manor House the following week-end.

Both events promise to be sti­mulating and worthwhile, both of interest and importance to every individual in the university. And offer a unique opportunity to become involved with the behind- the-scene activity which is an intergral factor in the success of Student affairs.

It seems that there are many sheep among us who would choose to be one of the flock of followers rather than involve themselves In definite contribution to student leadership.

SLOC is open to any students interested in benefitting from this programme, aimed at developing the skill and understanding of student leadership. The conference w ill provide the opportunity to become better-aquainted with the policies and problems of the Student Undergraduate Society.

However, attendance at the first conference on October 16 is mandatory in order to be a qualified delegate for the week-end at the Manor House.

Experience confided that this week-end has, in the past, provided untold fringe benefits, and for the minimal cost of eight dollars you too. may become one of the enligh­tened few.

Application forms may be obtained from the student recep­tionist. In the basement of the Norris Beuilding.

TO SPEAK HERE THURSDAY

The Hon. Maurice Lamontagne, Secretary of State and member of Parliament for Outre mont — St. Johns, w ill address the student body of Sir George at 1 p.m. on Thursday, October 14, in Birks Hall.

Preceding his entry into politics, Mr. Lamontagne was assistant deputy minister in the department of Northern Affairs and in 1957 he was an economic advisor to Lester Pearson.

He was first elected to parlia­ment in 1963, representing the riding of Outremont St. Johns. He was appointed President of the Privy Council in 1964 and in February of the same year was made Secretary of State.

At present he is the minister responsible for the National Film board, the Board of Broadcast governors, the Centennial Com­mission and the Economic Council. Mr. Lamontagne has published numerous articles on Canadian Economic problems in Canada and in 1954 wrote” Le Federalisme du Canada” in which the idea of co-operative federalism was first articulated.

A statement issued by Mr. J.P. Petolas, the Sir George fire marshal reads as follows: “ On Friday, October 8, 1965, at 9:37 a routine pre-signal fire alarm drill was called. This type of drill is performed periodically and involves only a few persons delegated to certain duties in case of fire .

During this drill an error was committed by a U n i v e r s i t y employee, and, because the system o p e r a t e s on a “ Fa il-S a fe” principle, the general alarm was

sounded calling for an evacuation of the buildings the Montreal Fire Department as a matter of course, appeared on the scene a few mi­nutes late, with fire extinguishing equipment in hand.

The all clear was given at 9:55 A.M., when it had been substantiat­ed that there was no fire in any of the buildings.

The University regrets the disruption caused this incident, however it has provided valuable information regarding out evacua­tion procedures” .

Luciano heads constitution committee

l a m o n t a g n e Unscheduled

Ron Luciano, internal vice- president of the SUS was recently appointed chairman of the society’ s Constitution com­mittee.

Purpose of the committee is to study and revise, where necesary the present constitution of the undergraduate society. Last re­vised in March of 1964 the constitution is c o n s i d e r e d by several members of council to be extremely out of date.

The newly formed commitfee headed by Mr. Luciano will meet behind closed doors on alternate Fridays but will accept written briefs from interested students or student groups on alternate Fridays.

Mr. L u c i a n o made special mention of the fact that the committee will consider only written briefs for consideration.

Ron Luciano Internal Vice-President

“ If we accept verbal suggestions we w ill be hopelessly bogged down in no time,” the Internal v-p said.

It is expected that the committee will submit its recomendations to council by mid-December.

A USELESS FIRE ENGINE arrived at Sir George last Friday morning, useless because there was nothing for it to do. A false alarm sent thousands of students into the streets surrounding Sir George, to wait for fifteen minutes in the pouring rain for the all clear. The mix-up resulted from a small fire on the second floor of the YMCA. However, the fire equipment soon departed and students were allowed to return to classes again.

Since Intercollegiate competition is about to get underway again in both basketball and hockey, it might be worthwhile to review an Athletics Council by-law.

“ In line with CIAU regulations, no Day student shall play any competitive sports for a team other than that of the University without written permission from the Athletics Council Executives- on the

i recommendation of the Director of Athletics.”This rule is vigorously supported by the present Council. A

flagrant violation of this rule could lead to possible suspension from the University.

Athletics Director Doug Insleay is strongly in favour of this rule. He feels that a student should recognize his responsibility to his school and make every effort possible to contribute to the University. By

_ playing for the University he will also be upgrading the standard of competition in the league, which is usually the source of complaint by the athlete. Insleay also believes that clubs outside university do not give proper consideration to the fact that some players have to devote a great deal of time to studies, and that playing and practice schedules conflict with school timetables. \

This week saw quite a contrast in athletic results, i ne soccer team, after starting strongly, have gone into a tailspin recently,

“dropping their last three games. However, the relatively unpublisized track team cleaned up in the local intercollegiate field and should do very well in Kingston next weekend. The golf team, as everyone now knows, has regained the O.S.L.I.A.A, championship and the tennis team is certain to give everyone a hard time down at C.M.R. on Saturday. Add to that the good showing of the sailing team and the great potential of the Varsity basketball and hockey teams and you’ll

. see why Sir George is ranked as one of the strongest athletic colleges in the nation.

OPEN LETTER . u .(Continued from page 7)

As a student here, I am trying to open this dialogue. This letter could lead to bigger and better things for us all. For instance, I think it would be an excellent gesture on your part to invite a few students to give you the benefit of the student point of view at one of your meetings. I know an invitation of this nature would be welcomed.

As a student here, I would very much appreciate your sharing your thoughts with us, because we feel that we could both benefit. I am looking forward to hearing from you in the near future.

But I am still concerned with the problem of communication, as I know other students here are also. It Is for this reason that I have written this letter to you gentlemen. I agree with Professor Bedford of the University Coaicil on Student Life that there is need for dialogue — both ways.

They may have a hard time explaining, the boys on the basket­ball team that is, like, why those basketballs under the armpits.

But we understand, and besides, its educational. They can learn that the jerk is actually easy to do, when not carrying a basketball. Or they can learn how to watch a movie, hold a g ir l ’s hand, eat pop corn, and carry a basketball at the same time. It’s fun.

The whole idea of the thing is that the boys will “ get the feel of the ball” , or so says Coach Fred Whitacre. So, the boys are going around the s t r e e t s of Montreal, eating pizza, and even sleeping with these basketballs.

Whitacre, who comes here after coaching at Georgia-Southwestern for the past four seasons, is the first full time net coach at Sir George.

The Ch i c ago-born, Toledo- raised, Georgia-educated coach thinks that the team is going to be good this year, even though the team lacks height.

“ Most of the players are new,” says he, “ but they’ re hard workers and have shown lots of spirit.”

Soccer teams drops third game 4-1

It happened again Saturday. Last year’s winningest team dropped its third straight tilt to Carleton by the score of 4-1. Sir George played better than it had in the past few games but once again the offence was terribly ineffectual.

VARSITY T E A M SET

Whitacre Reveals LineupAfter a strenuous week of practices coaches Whitacre and Sutton

have meticulously screened prospective candidates for the Varsity and JayVee teams. The following have been tentatively chosen for this year’ s big V squad:

Mike Barkun, 6’ guard, former holder of the M.V.P. and Dick Thompson Trophy is a fourth year Commerce student. Mike, a holdover from last year, is expected to be a key in this year’s plans.

Don Brown, 6’ 2” , forward is the former captain of the Provincial champions, Noltan.

Jeff Brumer, 5’ 7” , guard, is an Arts freshman. He won the outstanding player award in the G.M.I.A.A. hoop league and is proving to be a “ pleasant surprise’ ’ .

Brian Cunliffe, 6’ 2” forward, is a second year Commerce student who is graduating from J.V. ranks.

Larry Dallas, 5’8” , guard, comes to us via Mount Allison Varsity and Sir George Jayvees. He possesses distinctive leardership qualities essential for any team.

Sid Gonyea, 6’3” , center, is in his Junior year at Sir George. Sid earned all-star ratings while in the Navy and played Varsity while at Plattsburgh State. He also figures very largely in Whitacre’s plans.

Steve Kemper, 6’ 1” , forward, played in Warren Sutton’s summer basketball league.

Shelly Liebman, 5’ 11” , guard, is a third year Commerce student returning from last year’s team and possesses an excellent shot.

Zig Steiche, 6’ 2” , forward, is a powerfully built young man who should be rugged under the boards.

Jay Wolfe, 5’ 11” , guard, is a very aggressive defensive ballplayer and present holder of the Dick Thompson Trophy.

MacFarlane was the only player to penetrate the Carleton defence, scoring a picture goal kicked around a Raven fullback over the goalie’s outstretched hands . Actually the teams were more even than the score would indicate, but Carleton definitely played the stronger game.

Coach Jerry Stachrowski was a little upset at what he felt were unfair calls on the part of the officials. Another call regarding a call of “ thretening” an opposing forward by goaltender Dristos provoked some controversy. But whatever the result of the officia­ting, it would not have effected the eventual outcome of the game.

The Georgian soccer team, after a very successful start was its record evened at 2-2 by dropping a close 2-1 content to Loyola College last Tuesday night. The game, played at Newman Park in neau freezing temperatures was wrapped up for loyola in the first half on goals by Del Zoppo and Falco with Dillon replying for Sir George.

On the whole coach Stachrowski was disappointed with the team’s performance.

TRACK TEAM TRIUMPHSA courageous S ir G eo rg e track team braved low temperatures

and torrents of ra in frid ay night to capture the first half of the McGill Twilight m eet. v

placed first in the 440, Javelin, and Shot Put respectively. Taking second place points were Gordon Jones in three the 100 yard dash and Anatole Desiatnyk in the Ja­velin while Lincoln Whittaker finished third in the 100 as did Robin Stevens in the mile. This performance gave the boys a total of 25 points, well ahead of their nearest competition.

The meet, held at M o 1 s o n S t ad i um under the lights, was marred by a muddy track and soggy gield conditions.

Leading the way for the Geor­gians were Mark Arnold, Phil Thompson, and Dave Baxter who

Unfortunately there is little chance that Sir George will win the overall championship because they w ill be competing in the O.S.L.A.A. event in Kingston next weekend during the second half of the Me Gill meet. However, their convincing victory over such teams as U. of M., Laval, and McGill should give them the confidence they need to place well in the upcoming contest. Last year they finished second and with the team performing so well the Georgians have an excellent chance of return­ing victorious.
