COLLEGE,

WATERLOO,

ONT.

The following is a statement of this University’s administrative policy as it applies to the current controversy about a proposed constitution for a student council Zonsisting of representatives from this University and the two university colleges that have planned federation with the University.

In the Spring of this year the Legislature of the Province of Ontario approved a private bill incorporating The University of Waterloo.

Appended to this bill, and part of it, were two agreements, according to which Waterloo University College and The University of St. Jerome’s College might become federated with The University of Waterloo.

The Board of Governors of the University, its administrators and faculty have anticipated that a Federation of The University of Waterloo would come into being reasonably soon.

In harmony with this anticipa;ion (and in spite of the fact that there is now only one minor agreement in effect between the University and the Colleges), the University has been continuing to make its Science Faculty and fazilities, its athletic instructors and facilities, available to the College students.

Likewise, it has accepted the members of Waterloo University College Faculty for in-

struction of the Arts subjects that are part of the University’s curriculum.

In general, it has been the desire of the University to co-operate with the College and extend to it the privileges that it would enjoy under a program of federation.

A successful federation program will be dependent upon future cooperation, trust and respect among Boards, administrators, faculties, staffs, and students of all parties in the federation program.

The University greatly appreciates the co-operation received from the Colleges to date, and hopes that there will be an increasing sharing of interests as work toward the completion of federation continues.

The University is proud of the work that has been done by the students of the College and the University, together with Faculty coming to representative% in agreement on a constitution for a student council.

We are prepared to submit the constitution as it has been drafted, with a few minor changes, to our Board of Governors for approval.

We respect the autonomy of the College administrators and Board to take whatever action in this direction they feel desirable.

J. G. Hagey,

President.

$1,000 DONATIO DISASTER VICTIMS In response to urgent requests received from National ’ WUS committees in India, Japan and Korea, World University Service of Canada has launched an emergency appeal for aid to thousands of students who, are suffering as a result of the havoc created in recent weeks by severe floods, cyclones and typhoons.

To initiate this appeal, WUS’C made $1,000 available immediately for assistance to students in these stricken areas. Students in every Canadian university are being urged to respond generously to local fund campaigns so that this token contribution can be substantially increased.

Due to the disruption of communications, the extent of devastation in these three countries cannot yet be accurately estimated, but enough information has already been received to indicate the gravity of the situation.

In India, floods and cyclones that are more severe than any in recent history have ravaged Assam, Kashmir and West Bengal.

In Assam, more than 1,000 square miles of land have been engulfed by floods, affecting well over ten million people, while in West are two million Bengal there victims.

The Government is faced with an enormous task of rehabilitation, and aid has been solicited from non-official sources, organization and private individuals.

The plight of students in these areas * is desperate, and World

1University Service has a vital role to play in providing them with grants or scholarships, purchasing text-books, and supplying other personal requirements, so that their studies may not be seriously disrupted.

In Japan it is estimated that over 5,500 professors and students have been affected by floods which have destroyed more than 125;OOO homes.

Epidemics of dysentery and typhus have broken out in the wake of tidal waves, creating an immediate need for medical supplies.

Clothing and foodstuffs have also been requested.

World University Service of Canada has commended the Canadian government for its recent action in sending $20,000 to Japan, and has acknowledged its own obligation to the university community of Japan, since governmental action cannot provide for particular attention to be given to students.

In Korea, many lives have been lost and property damage is extensive.

More than half the students studying in Seoul come from the districts hit by typhoons, and will be forced to abandon their studies unless aid is quickly forthcoming.

World University Service of Canada will be joined by National WUS committees throughout the world in extending sympathy and material assistance to the disaster victims of Asia.

We are all aware of the fact, that the scheduled federation ef Waterloo College with the University of Waterloo, has not occurred.

There has been much controvery and discussion given to this problem by the students of both institutions.

This issue of the Cord should outline the situation insofar as student government is concerned.

From the administrative point of view, one should remember that Waterloo University College is separate from the University of Waterloo.

Fate, however, has placed us a few blocks apart.

Negotiations between the Administrations of Waterloo University College and the University of Waterloo are in effect.

The “effectiveness” of the negotiations is another question.

Should Waterloo University College decide not to federate with the University of Waterloo, and also cease its affiliation with the University of Western Ontario, then Waterloo Lutheran University would use its full degree granting powers.

The “Tale of Two Universities” would result.

One can imagine the problems which would follow; especially at the student level.

Advertising for publications would be separately solicited.

Representatives from the University of Waterloo and Waterloo Lutheran University would be knocking on the merchants’ doors.

A few people may, for some reason, become confused.

Facilities for student activities would become a definite problem.

Student attitudes would regress to the previous level of “Arts” against “Engineering and Science”.

Eventually the University of Waterloo would establish its own Arts College and the effect of this upon the enrollment at Waterloo University College might prove interesting.

If the present negotiations involve only politics, power and prestige on the part of those concerned, it is necessary to submit that their thinking should focus on higher goals: easily gained through an objective approach.

A unified centre of higher learning was planned for, donated to, and counted upon by citizens of this region and elsewhere, to say nothing of the students.

Have you not been impressed by the friendliness and informality of Waterloo College?

Several students who have at one time or another attended Western University have commented to us on this very thing.

The Torque Room is a good illustration.

Here students of both sexes, all years, different faculties, tend to mix, exchange greetings, joke, and converse.

In the past few weeks it has been brought to my attention that there is growing concern, anxiety and misunderstanding among Arts students as to our position here at Waterloo University College. In an effort to clarify our position the following information is put forward: 1. Waterloo University College is still affiliated with the University of Western Ontario.

We are not in any way, shape or form, connected with the University of Waterloo, and therefore we cannot, as I stated at the last Waterloo University College and University of Waterloc Students’ Council meeting, vote legally to give authority, power or control of funds to a University Students’ Council, We may however work together under a non-constitutional body composed of Waterloo University College, University of Waterloo an’d the University of St. Jerome’s College students, We must, therefore, be prepared to function as an autonomous organization until we have a definite statement about our future from the Board of Governors of Waterloo University College.

2. We should not expect this decision to be reached for at least another month, therefore any stories or rumours which one may hear concerning a swift merger or affiliation with one University or another should be taken only as stories or rumours.

No hasty decision will be made since there are several possibilities open to our board, and since the pros and cons of each of these possibilities must be carefully examined and weighed.

3. The Arts Students’ Council (Waterloo University College) is in the process of drawing up a constitution which will enable it to operate under the conditions set down above.

This constitution should be ready by approximately the end of November at which time it will be presented to the students and the Board of Governors for approval.

1. Since we are aware of the unconstitutional status of a University Students’ Council, and because we feel that the lack of some sort of co-ordinating body would definitely hinder activities at Waterloo University College, the University of Waterloo, and the University of St. Jerome’s College, the Arts Students’ Council has agreed to sit on a non-constitutional body

known as the Councils of the University of Waterloo, Waterloo University College and the University of S’t. Jerome’s College. We will continue to operate on the non-constituted body until such time as the Board of Governors makes a definite statement as to its decision.

COMMISSION

Ottawa, October 30-The Civil Service Commission announced today the federal government is seeking 6010 university graduates for continuing cmployme!lt and 1200 under-graduates and postgraduate students for summer work.

At the graduate level, students are required from virtually all faculties but mainly from arts and commerce, engineering and agricultural science.

Among these are approximately 120 engineers, 100 agricultural scientists and about 200 arts and commerce graduates for assignment to various classes.

There is also a need for a considerable number of young people with a background in mathematics and physics for training in meteorology.

The recruiting program for the administrative classes, such as foreign service officers and junior administrative officers, and for civil, electrical and mechanical engineers is now under way.

Other classes, and summer staff, will be recruited later.

As the first step in its program the Commission is sending senior officers to the universities to describe the needs and acquaint the students with conditions of government employment.

The starting salaries for graduates vary from class to class depending on the academic specialization required.

For the most part, graduates in arts and1 commerce will be offered about $350 a month, engineers about $400.

Some students with post graduate training in the sciences will get up to $500 a month.

The under-graduates hired for summer work will receive from $245 to $305 a month depending on the amount of university training they have had and related experience.

Some students seeking post-graduate degrees will get more than that.

Among the 1206 to be employed next summer will be approximately 300 under-graduates in Zngineering, 150 in geology, 250 in agriculture and 120 in forestry. evlany of them will be engaged on Field work and survey parties,

In the lunch room or dining hall at Western, the situation appears to be reversed.

Apparently you wouldn’t dream of sitting down with a casual acquaintance even if you knew that he was in one of your classes.

The sophomores associate with sophomores, E%eryone is rather reserved and formal.

The size of Waterloo College (University, University College or whatever it happens to bewe still haven’t figured it out) is an important factor.

Perhaps our informality in dress (comparatively speaking) is another factor which encourages this unique spirit of friendliness.

As for us, we don’t care what factors are involved, are behind the what forces “warmth”’ of this college, we just hope that whatever they are, they will continue for this year, the next, and the next.

Now, we may have exaggerated a little in the body of this editorial but it is in all sincerity that we say we have been impressed by the friendliness and informality of Waterloo College.

CUES

FROM CONRAD Geraldine Duquette

Some excitement in the dorm was caused very early last Sunday morning by the fire at St. John’s Church.

On seeing the conflagration from an upstairs window, several of the girls in their bleary-eyed three a.m. state took it to be only a few doors away and were seriously considering packing in preparation for a hasty evacuation of the hall.

On Tuesday morning we industriously sampled chunks of fudge and packaged the remaining crumbs for the Phi Delta Pi candy sale.

The specimen of questionable palatability, delivered by a member of the senior residence, remained unwrapped due to their liquid qualities, but not unsampled by the more daring testers among us.

To boost our morale on a dreary November afternoon our housemother thoughtfully provided us with two enormous platters of savoury doughnuts.

Since then our plea has been not “Rain, rain, go away”, but “come again some other day”!

PHI

DELTA PI Betty Lyn

Boyle

Well girls, we made a good twenty-five dollars from our Fudge Sale!

This will help towards the bursary we want to donate.

Of course, if anyone has any more suggestions about raising money for this cause, Dale Perrin will be glad to hear them.

“Games Night” on Wednesday, November 18, is one date you won’t want to miss. This is going to be one of your best chances to get to know the girls who are sharing your college experience.

This promises to be an opportunity for a lot of gabbing so you will certainly want to be there (in 2ase we talk about you)!

Seriously, it is going to be a lot of fun.

Avanall Grant and Andrene Shearer have a terrific program planned.

This will be followed by refreshments in Conrad Hall. See you on Wednesday at 8.00 p.m. sharp in the Dining Hall!

Before looking at the career opportunities for today’s engineer, we should realize that an engineer needs such characteristics as independence, deep concentration, well-rounded personality, and a sense of accurate observation We might also notice that he is a person who has built a career of analpsis and synthesis out of many years study in mathematics and sciences.

The civil engineer is one who deals with the designing, construction and maintenance of public works such as roads, bridges, tunnels and canals.

He is’ keenly interested in materials for construction and the stresses and strains which will act on finished objects, be it bridges, skyscraper or tunnel.

His career opportunities lie in fields such ‘as all aspects of highway, waterway and railway construction, water supply and sewage disposal, airports and water-control dams.

The mechanical engineer deals with the designing of machines for transportation, the manufacture of articles, and the manufacture of machines which serve man for his convenience.

An example of this last section is air-conditioning.

The mechanical engineer designs and supervises the construction of power plants, vehicles of all types, and refrigeration units.

His career opportunities may be found in the fields of plant operation and control, perfection of the internal-combustion type engine, aeronautics including rockets and missiles, automatic machines and atomic power including atom smashers, artificial radioactivity and atomic and hydrogen bombs.

The electrical engineer concerns himself with the designing, construction and operating of electrical apparatus for generation of electrical power, power transrnis-

The

sion and the ultimate use of this power.

There are a great number of opportunities in the electrica: field. He might specialize in computing and recording machines radio, television and remote con. trol apparatus, improvements tc electrical welding, the telephone or lighting or solar energy, bat. teries, convertors and heating and air-conditioning.

The electrica: engineer might also find oppor tunities in other aspects of the communications field such as tele. graph, electrical waves, wireles: telephony, and teletypewriters.

The chemical engineer whc might findt opportunities in the improvement of foods, food pre* servation, f ertilization or sugai industry.

He might also derive new soaps, explosives, petroleun fractions, artificial fabrics, papers paints, glasses, plastics, metal: and alloys.

He can by research produce new types of steel fol rocket nose cones, or new type: of rubber which will wear longer or stretch better, or snap bacl into their original shape fastel after stretching.

Mining and metallurgical engi neering offers opportunities tc those who are interested in ex ploration and geology to a certair degree.

The mining of coal ant the preparation of coal for mar ket, the mining of metals such ar iron, copper, and aluminum ore the mining of uranium, mine ap praisal, assaying and the produc tion of allosy are some of the op portunities awaiting the minim engineer.

Other types of engineers sucl as traffic engineers, and engineer ing physicists have equal caree: opportunities waiting for them.

The future and its opportuni ties await us when we have decid ed upon our specialized engineer ing career and have completec our formal education.

Three

F ABDUL On the third day following the tragic disappearance of the cafeteria staff, a real disas$ter occurred: three cars disappeared from the roadside near annex two.

All that’ could be seen as evidence of their disappearance were three holes extending out of sight into the depths of the slime.

Since the cars belonged to dr. Seegmiller, the dean of scirices, and Mr. Axford, who was here on a goodwill tour, I was Irged to begin immediate antinud procedures.

Since mud consists of a mixture If earth, water, cars, and people, <he obvious step t.o take to elimilate the mud was to remove one jr more of the components.

I c’onsidered the people and cars to be mpurities, so they were allowed ;o remain..

Attempting to drain ;he water from the site was not thought to be necessary, since the :onstruction company concerned lad done an efficient job of pro/iding more than the adequate number of drainage exits on the :ampus, so, I turned to other methods of keeping the water 2way from this section of the zarth.

Several industries which were contacted, offered solutions which, 3f course made use of their products.

The most notable of these were presented by the local plastics company, which offered to erect a plastic shield over the entire campus, and the British Bumbershoot Company, which offered a similar plan, with the exception that their product be used instead of plastic.

Both of these plans were ruled out for obvious reasons.

Finally, I was forced to adopt a method suggested by A!Iarine Outfitters, of Bath, England.

This long-established firm will start construction next spring, on large pontoons which, it is hoped, will give the buildings suticient buoyancy to remain above the mud until the university can be floated to a more suitable site.”

Following last week’s article, some people have been expressing their views with regard to the dining hall problem.

Here are some of the printable opinions: Joe Puke (Honours Barfing).

“I think the food is terrific.

It gives me a lot of practical experience in my subject.”

Isaac Himmel (Honours Sauerkraut).

“Der food reminds me of vife.

She couldn’t cook my either.”

Bertha Crudd (Honours Economics) . “I would enjoy the meals more if they gave Green Stamps.”

Erbie John (Kitchener’s Ambassador to Waterloo) . “Oh, I think it’s so delightfully non -U.

Ted Timber (Restaurant Operator) . “It’s the greatest.”

The visit of the National Ballet Company to the Twin Cities inspired the dorm boys to hold their own exhibition of terpsichore, the only difference being that the Willison Hall presentation was a water sequence.

Three solo performances were given in the fourth floor bathtub and then the “pi&e de r&istance” followed early on Sunday morning when a plumber and an artsman pooled, their efforts for a delightful “Pas de Deux”.

Both these characters drew raves from the assembled critics, mainly because the number was so well dressed and the tub was so full.

There is a possibility that the boys of Willison H,all may have a curling rink this year.

The Dickensian attitude of the third floor crew is persisting, and their “Great Expectorations” are accumulating.

As soon as ice conditions are known, teams will be selected.

Ln the meantime, keep spitting.

The Mules took their usual beating last week, even though they did score nine points.

Why not use Seagram Stadium as a Parking Lot instead of a chopping block for a bunch of outclassed athletes?

This would benefit more people and save some of them the embarrassment Df watching the local boys being humiliated.

ful as a scarcity of performers is hampering rehearsals.

Swhs, Juniors and Seniors are reluctant to participate.

They remember the chaos which reigned afi last year’s rehearsals, when so much time was needlessly wasted.

Jim Neeb, however, insists that things are organized this year, so anybody with an urge for stardom should participate without further delay.

Where’s all the reported talent in the Freshman Class?

Seems some immature idiots are phoning Conrad Hall in the early hours of the morning and then offering ridiculous excuses for doing so.

Mrs. Binhammer, the housemother, is a very congenial person, but nobody likes to be compelled to answer a phone at 2:3U a.m. Have some considerdtion guys, and lay off these childish pranlks.

ADVERTISERS They

someone were to be so bold as to say, “There aren’t enough hours in a Waterloo day,” he would probably be surrounded by a mob of angry students ready to hang him from the nearest tree.

If you should find yourself in such a predicament, you had best explain yourself in the following manner and be quick in doing so.

“But fellows,” you could stammer, “I agree that our superiors are allowed too much time to try to cram unfamiliar knowledge into the limited space allotted for it in our short memories and also that they have too much opportunity to delve into mysterious fields that are far beyond our ability to comprehend.

But let me ask you this. Do you go home at night and find you can sit down and leisurely do the work that has been assigned to you and when it is finished, do you find time for a few hours of leisure, let’s say seeing a movie uptown or explaining to your girl why you got drunk over the weekend?”

“I would say it was an unusual student indeed who found this description of his afterschool activities accurate.

As for the majority of us, we never find ourselves without work to do and if we should chance to indulge in idle pastimes such as those mentioned, we are doing so at the expense of our studies.

The reward for this neglect comes at the end of the quarter when you glance over your exam paper trying to find a question you know how to answer.”

“So in this respect, I say there aren’t enough hours in the latter part of the day to compensate f,or the hours that are, too many in the earlier part of the day.

As a result, many a student finds himself walking about in a cloud of frustration saying to himself, ‘I wonder where I can find a steady job when they kick me out of this institution.”

PRESENT STATUS OF A STUDENTS AT WATERLOO

Alumni 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. Axfordi, 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 ternporary home on Hickory St., where his charming wife, ‘Joan, served tea and talked of their three children.

Marilyn, age 8, 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.

The 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 McIntvre 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 Calriadian Naval Reserve as paymaster, supply officer and maintenance officer.

He presently holds the rank of Lt. Commander in that corps.

While proceeding ion-ards his s/laster of Commerce degree, he met the woman he was to marrJ-.

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

OF WATERLOO,

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.

I hope you will stay tuned to this station tor the rest of the season.

Initiation week is over now and nost of us are’ settling down to academic work and a few extracurricular activities.

However, I :an’t let the initiation die without idding my final “two cents worth.”

I was impressed by the spirit and apparent willingness to cooperate shown by most of the girls in the freshman class. As a matter of fact I was amazed that the girls were so eager to do dead horses, salaams, recite Shakespeare, carry lamps, sit under tables, admit they were “bums”, “scum”, and what have you.

(Especially Judy Chamberlain! !> Thursday evening of initiation week was perhaps the most memorable evening.

The non-resident students were invited to the dorm and “drilled”

by Helen Young and her cohorts while yours truly was given the opportunity to have revenge on the resident students (eh Roberts), or vice versa, depending upon how you look at it.

Aft,er two hours of solid drill the restrictions w,ere lifted slightly to allow all present to have a little fun and fellowship.

Truly, that week is now in the past, but I hope that the enthusiasm and feeling of unity among the freshman class that was so apparent during the entire ordeal will continue in the present and future.

If such is the case, both you and Waterloo College will find it mutually rewarding.

This year the revered walls of Conrad Hall enclose 27 models of lropriety and one distracted Housemother.

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 Edizaat the C.N.E. beth Building grounds, to see the Ontario Medical Association’s “Mediscope-59”.

They came out with perhaps a little more knowledge of medicine than when they went in.

The entire exposition was put on at the expense of the O.M.A. ,Free admission andl programs and informative pamphlets were great aids in attracting the public.

The exhibits were obviously designed to appeal to the average Plaster models of the layman. 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 medicine”, 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 entire1 visit.

The scope of work covered at this exposition was much too wide for me to deal with 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 !

This is the year that we begin to come out of the doldrums in sports at our dear Alma Mater.

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.

Brian Near then picked off another Carleton pass and raced 50 yds. for the last Waterloo T.D. Congratulations, men, for a job I well. done!

And now that we have more staff we have better organization drop over to the gymnasium some day and see the “new look”.

Initiation was a success but one criticism has been rendered,. Some of the language, and so-called jokes, 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.

Boy Scout Apple Day passed by again on Saturday.

One individual looked extremely happy when purchasing his specimen of fruit.

When asked to explain his obvious glee he remarked that he was on his way to see the doctor’s wife. (An apple a day keeps the doctor away! ) The Mules, after giving everybody something to cheer about, came back to reality last Saturday against R.M.C. They played an interesting game - most people prefer football.

The display proved there’s still one quiz game left - “Where’s My Ldne?”

Out of town students returning to Waterloo will be pleased to know that a new radio station is now operating in this district.

They’re playing some unusual music, one program included Chopin’s Etude for the Left Hand Only - he wrote it while shaving. Some new ideas in broadcasting are being tried by Alcoholics Anonymous; they’re taping different types of burps and presenting them on a coast-to-coast hiccup.
