PRESENT STATUS OF ARTS STUDENTS AT WATERLOO
Bulletin)
As your reporter entered the office of the President of Waterloo University College, Herbert Melvin Axford was pouring over blueprints of the college campus. Though just arriving in Waterloo on Labour Day and as yet not totally unpacked, Dr. Axfordl, true to his dynamic personality, has already thrown his energies into the rapidly moving developments at the college. Following a brief discussion, your reporter was invited to accompany the President to his temporary home on Hickory St., where his charming wife, ‘Joan, served tea and talked of their Marilyn, age 8, three children. Donald and Jimmy, ages 10 and 11 were at school in Lexington, the site of the new Axford home presently in its final stages of construction. tie Axfords have lived in many parts of the continent and have camped in many others. They pride themselves for adapting quickly to their environment. A pride well justified for in three weeks they have established themselves as members of St. John’s Lutheran congregation where Don and Jim have joined the cub and scout groups. Born in 1924, Herbert Melvin Axford received his elementary and secondary school education in his home town, Winnipeg. Upon graduation from the Daniel McIntyre Collegiate Institute in 1936, Herbert Axford began a career which carried him into various phases of the business world and through progressive stages in the field of education. As a buy-boy with Marshall Wells, a government agricultural assistant, a grade 2 clerk with the R.C.A.F. and a Canada Packers livestock accountant, student Axford both earned his tuition to the University of Manitoba and accumulated much of the practical and administrative background which qualifies him for his new position. After completing his Bachelor of Commerce course Lt. Axford spent three years with the Royal Canadian Naval Reserve as paymaster, supply officer and maintenance officer. He presently holds the rank of Lt. Commander in that corps. While proceeding towards his Master of Commerce degree, he met the woman he was to marry. Then followed seven years of teaching assistantships, research and an instructorship at the University of Wisconsin and Knox College, Illinois. From Knox College, Assistant Professor Axford accepted the
chairmanship of the Department of Economics and Business Administration at Pacific Lutheran College in Tacoma, Washington. Here he completed the thesis which earned him his Doctorate of Philosophy and an associate professorship. As secretary of the School of Commerce, University of Alberta, his next post, Dr. Axford accepted the call to Waterloo University College to become its sixth president. Welcome and best wishes to President Axford and his family.

UWSC PRESIDENT On behalf of the University of Waterloo Students’ Council, may I extend a personal welcome to each and every student. It is my I hope that you will enjoy a sucs cessful year, both in the field of learning and education. To those of you who are no longer Freshmen what I am about to say, is ‘going to be a repetition of a much worn-out theme. Yet, I feel that it needs repeating. The majority of the students enrolled in the University and the Arts College are here to receive an education. It is for
this reason that they have decided to attend this institute of higher learning. That is exactly what goes on in your classes-you learn. However this is only a part of education. Take a look around you at the number of activities that take place both on and off the campus. They are there for you -they are part of your University life. By not taking part in at least one or more of these activities, you will miss a great deal of your University education. Sure it’s fine to go home immediately after classes,

CAMPUS
Judging by the inquiries from members of the student body as to the time of the first publication, it should follow that this paper be entitled, “The Lost Cord”. Well, here it is . . . in technicolor with panoramic print, stereophonic styling and all other spectacular features which characterize our modern media of communication. As with other products you may find in supermarkets, etc., the Cord will appear in The staff and members of the Board of a variety of colours. Publications would consider it an insult should the purpose of the use of this newsprint be misinterpreted, and thus it being found in any of the gastronomic dispensaries situated throughaut the campus. Enough said! The reader will note that the paper is under the name of the- University of Waterloo. This innovatioa is a result of the student body organization proposed by the S.L.E. last year. Thus, the policy of this paper is to provide the students with a vehicle of expression deserving of the thought at the University level.

Mediscope‘59 From October 12 to October 17, thousands of people, ranging in professions from the average labourer to the engineering specialist, walked into the Queen Elizaat the C.N.E. beth Building grounds, to see the Ontario Medi- . . cal Association’s “Mediscope-59”. They came out with perhaps a little more knowledge of medicine than when they went in. The entire exposition\vas put on at the expense of the O.M.A. -Free admission and programs and informative pamphlets were great aids in attracting the public. The exhibits were obviously designed to appeal to the average layman. Plaster models of the eye, the heart, and other organs, gave a general impression of what these organs looked like, while detailed photographs, x-ray pictures, and movies, presented information in a more exact technical form. I could quickly perceive, however, that the richest store of information lay in the doctors, nurses, and technicians who were present at every exhibit. For example; in exhibit one, there was a very ordinary-looking gentleman seated beside an anaesthetic machine. I leaned over the guard rail and asked him how Nitrous Oxide (a tank of which was in the machine) came into use as an anaesthetic. The story he told me was amazing. Before he had finished, there were about twenty people gathered around the booth, each one straining to hear this little man tell of the American dentist who first made use of the unique “laughing gas” as an anaesthetic, The facts which most impressed me about Mediscope were the tremendous opportunities which I could see in almost every exhibit, for the application of mechanical and electrical engineering. In exhibit 22, labelled “Internal medicir e”, a Kitchener doctor told me of the wide use that medicine is making of radioactive isotopes in diagnosing functional diseases. In the booth, he had two scintallation counters, each consisting of a detector, photomultiplier, an d counter. It was easy to see how both electrical and mechanical engineering could be applied to improve upon tracing techniques. Another impressive man whom I talked to was a Toronto brain surgeon, who outlined the use of the electro-encephalograph machine to diagnose mental and some functional diseases. He also spoke of the use of a high frequency electric arc knife which he uses in all operations. This knife not only cuts finer and cleaner than the conventional knife, but it closes off the severed blood vessels as well. My talk with this man was worth the entire visit. The scope of work covered at this exposition \t-as much too wide for me to deal w-ith here. It served its purpose well. for it offered the layman a chance to have a closer look at the oncemysterious science of medicine. and it offered to those interested. the opportunity to make further contacts with some great Canadians. The opportunities of applying electrical and mechanical engineering to further improve upon present techniques and equipment is staggering. What better way is there for an engineer to serve his fellow man ! Ron Church, Enginews, Ass?

MULES
WIN
OVER
CARLETON!
Led by a re-built defensive squad, the University of Waterloo Mules won their first league game in three years by trouncing Carleton University Ravens, 30-6. The defence, which seemed so porous only a week ago, exhibited the improvement which everyone had hoped for. With the coaching assistance of Lenny Ford, the front wall smeared the Ravens’ rushers for a net gain of only 108 yds. as opposed to 429 yds. the week before. Only the consistent passing of the Raven’s Laboda prevented the 1iu’ies from running wild. The same names seem to appear each week and Targosz. this is no exception. Rosenberg, Archer, Frausen, Arie and Kuntz stood out from a hoar;d of improved linemen. Let’s not forget the offensive team, which scored thirty points more than they did a week ago. Led by the elusive sweeps of John Enns who rolled up 108 yds. for a respectable 8.5 average, and the power running of Archer and Rosenberg for 129 and 46 yds. respectively, the Mules provided the small crowd with some entertaining football. The blocking was more apparent on the line as was Brian the quarterbacking of Brock who seems to improve game by game. Rosenberg started the scoring on a 2 yd. plunge. Archer’s quick kick was recovered by Dave Craig who ran 63 yds. before being hauled down on the Carleton 1 yd. line. Archer then carried it over. An interception by Dan Yarmey who lateralled to Doug Drynan provided another Mule T.D. John Enns counted two converts and a 23 yd. field goal. Brian Near then picked off another Carleton pass and raced 50 yds. for the last Waterloo T.D. Congratulations. men. for a job well done!
I/
And now that we have more staff we have better organization drop over to the gymnasiu-m some day and see the “new look”. The optimistic spirit is also heightened by a 30-7 win over Carleton -the first win in three years for the football Mules. It was extremely gratifying to see the team in a winning cause and the new feeling was enjoyed by the handful of fans present. “One win does not a championship make”, but it does at least create a bit of spirit. Before the season is over, there is always McMaster and O.A.C. around to throw a wrench in things. There seems to be a better attitude this year. Outwardly it may not show too much. There are only a handful of fans out at each game but at least they are enthusiastic - and we can always hope for more! So you see the picture is indeed rosier. It will be the season of our “coming out to prominence”. Let there be no sceptics in the house; you will be sorry, you will. MAC

This is the year all the Mule Teams begin to make their presence felt in inter-varsity competition, and this is the year that the campus activities will begin to form into a well developed and organized program. Sound too optimistic? Perhaps. But then again there are innovations around the University that point to this new development. Then too, there are some things that have to be improved. The biggest improvement in the Athletic field comes in the form of a new member of the staff. The “powers that be” finally saw fit to appoint an assistant to director Totzke and a McMaster graduate, Dan Pugliese, was given the position. Dan has been working as if he meant business, (ask some of the boys on the football team if you don’t believe me), proving himself a ball of fire in Now we have two all respects. of a kind working in our hallowed confines of Seagram gymnasium.

For a team that only two years the doormat of the ago was league, the Waterloo Mules made the MacMaster Marauders fight for their lives to sneak aw-ay with a win in their scheduled Thanksg.ving - Day . football -game. The improvement over the first game was really stupendous. However. the one mistake that decided the game was made unfortunate:>b>- the 3Iules. The blocking of Barrett, Weiler. Tice. Thompson and Ireland on the frort v.-ai: er.a.oled the backs to match the 3Iarauders yard for yard. The po-.s-eriu! rur.nizg of Red *Archer accounted for half of the 3Iules 166 J-ards of rushing. JohnnyEnns ran the ends n-e!1 but seems to rece ve no b ocking on the secondary. The pass receivers continue to run no patterns (if there are an>-) and so the passin g is still negligible. The Mules failed to click inside the 30 yard line after 1valt ,Xrie and Bill Weiler recovered 3Iac fumbles. The linebacking of Rosenberg. Weiler and Kurtz u-as a decided improvement.

Looks like apathy has a grip on the Freshman Class already. There wasn’t much interest displayed in the election campaigns. Only ten per cent of the Frosh attended the speeches made by the two men who showed enough interest to run for President. What a contrast to last year! Congratulations to Bruce Lumsden on his election. Let’s hope he gets some support from what is supposedly the most talented group on campus. On Thursday of last week one member of this group was giving two of his friends a tour of the campus he knows so well, (he’s been here three whole weeks! ). Deciding that the Men’s Dorm was a must, he led his friends up the stairway to Willison’s “HalOne of our mOre lowed Halls”. j considerate residents informed / him he was trespassing. A tubi bing would have been in order,, ’ and he may rest assured that this will be the procedure next time. Take the hint, dry one, and get lost! Itys good to see that Conrad Hall
BRITTLE Ivy has been climbing the walls of Willison for ages, this year we , might - -get a new -girl! Initiation was a success but one criticism has been rendered. Some 1of tl~e language 9 and so-called 1jokes, by certain members of the freshman class at the Court proceedings proved most embarrassing to the ladies who were present. Let’s hope there’s no repetition of this crude type of humour.
