In view of some of the student pranks which have occurred recently, I think it is in the interests of all of our students to understand the University’s attitude iouard these. The good name of this University should be of major interest to students who anticipate receiving degrees from here. In the long run, the reputation of the University depends primarily upon its academic excellence, but public reaction to student extra-curricular activity is relevant and important, particularly in the short run. The fees you pay to the University provide for less than one-third of the cost of your education, with the remaining two-thirds coming from society at large through various levels of government and through individual eontributions. When you offend public opinion, you jeopardize your education. Student Dranks that destroy property or bring hazard to the general public are intolerable-for the-preservation of the University’s good name. They are usually the result of irresponsible action on the part of a small minority, and in the best interests of all students eann& be permitted to continue. It should be realized that as student members of the University you participate in a society which requires obligations of you as well as

on pranks providing benefits for you. For better or worse, your individual actions and behaviour reflect on all other students. In particular, it should be realized that it is not enough for you alone to refrain from actions prejudicial to the good name of the University, but that you have a responsibility on behalf of all students to attempt to dissuade others whose actions would inevitably bring disfavour on you and all other students. There are plenty of ehallenging aetivi ties within the University, particularly at this formative stage in our development. The Student Council, Coryphaeus, Athletic programme and Glee Club are but a few of the many organizations within the University that need any surplus time the students may have available from their studies. These are constructive activities in which your efforts would be expended to your advantage as well as to the advantage of the University. It is our sincere hope that whatever spare time is available to you will be used for the welfare of the University, including your fellow students. It is our unhappy obligation to deal severely with those students who by their individual activities would bring harm to the entire student body. J. G. Hagey, President.
ELECTIONS THIS MONTH On March 16, 1961, eleetions for the office of President and Vice-President of the Students’ Council shall take place. Also at this time you, the students, will be asked to approve in principle a constitution for the University of Waterloo Students’ Council and also to decide if we as students of University of Waterloo wish to join NFCUS (National Federation of Canadian University Students). This is quite a full slate and therefore in the next two issues of the Coryphaeus we will try to explain the procedure to you. The following procedure for nominations of eandidates for election is taken from the constitution: 1. Nominations which must be signed by 10 undergraduate students shall be accompanied by the consent in writing of the person therein nominated. No student shall sign nomination papers for more than one candidate for each office. 2. Nominations must be in the hands of the Chief

Returning Officer at least one week before the elections, i.e. March 9, 1961. 3. A list of candidates and the complete procedure of elections shall be posted on bulletin boards. 4. A candidate for either office must finance his own campaign within a total expenditure of $10 per nomination. 5. Engineering candidates for these offices must run in pairs, i.e., one member must be from summerwinter term and the other must be from the springfall term. These, basically, are the points that will be followed. A question might be asked how do the Engineers vote? The students presently on campus vote on March 16, while the off-campus students vote on April 7, 1961. The ballots will be counted at this time. There will be no special day set aside for campaign speeches, etc., but instead a special election issue of the paper will be prepared. Candidates wishing to present their platform may do so in
MEET THE CHAMPS Front row, left to right: Bob Dan Pugliese (Coach), Ray Palmer, Brian McCormick, Back row, left to right: Don Brown (Trainer), Jim Hann, Ian MacNaughton, Charlie Pouliot (Ass’t Trainer). this issue. All articles must be submitted by March 15. The Chief Returning Officer is Walter Hill, Arts IV, and he can answer any fhuauier questions you might . The second item on the ballot will be approval of a constitution for the Students’ Council: Copies will be made available in the libraries and should be ready by March 6. Out-term Engineers should also read through this constitution when they return from their work term. The last item on the ballot is to decide whether or not we should join NFCUS. Several articles have appeared in the Coryphaeus to acquaint you with this organization and I will attempt to explain to you further its operation. First, if we join, Students’ Council must pay an amount of 50e. per student each year. In return NFCUS is the representative of the Canadian University Student and. is also affiliated with the international group. It is through NFCUS’ work that a reduction in income tax has been proposed by the government and NFCUS also is attempting to get 10,000 bursaries of $600 from the government. Many other things such as photography contests, debating, drama festivals are sponsored as well as student discount services and a special Student Travel Bureau all are under NFCUS -This is just a smattering of the work of NFCUS. Now th.at you have been informed as to the issues, I hope you will become interested in the campaign, read over the constitution and discuss whether we should join NFCUS or not. Paul Dirksen, Acting President of Students’ Council.

Tuesday night, the Warriors put Waterloo on the map sportswise as they downed MeMaster Marauders 92 - 73 to take the Ontario Intercollegiate Basketball title in eight straight games. The win stretched their rec.ord to 20 wins and two losses with 8 and 0 in league play. Tuesday’s game was the last of the season for the Warriors and they certainly didn’t let the crowd (over 100 from Waterloo) down. The game opened up with Mae taking an early 4 - 0 lead, but this was the biggest lead they held throughout the game. The Warriors soon made it 5 - 4 and until near the end of the first half, the lead changed hands several times with each team holding not more than a 1 or 2 point margin. At half-time the Warriors led by 42 - 35. In the first half Bill Jones sparked the Warriors with a 16 point effort of which 6 points were made on 6 consecutive free throws. Out of 13 free throws in the first half, the Warriors counted on 12 of them. In the first h.alf for Marauders Mike Schertzer had 12 points. Early in the second half, the game opened up some and the Warriors began to pull ahead. They tightened up their defence and played extremely well on offense to gain a 26 point lead by half way through the period. The Marauders put on a determined effort to close the gap in scoring 15 points while holding the Warriors to 2 points, but the loss of their top scorer Gene Rizak (who was fouled out of the game on five personal fouls) lessened their chances of being able to knot the count. The Warriors, not taking anything for granted kept pace with the Marauders and scored a few extra points for good measure to finish the game in fine style at 92 - 73. The high scorers in -the game were as follows: (for McMaster Marauders) Gene Rizak with 26 points, Mike Schertzer with 18 points and Bruce Parker with 10 points(for the Waterloo Warriors) Bill Jones with 30 points, Ray Palmer with 18 points, Jerry Hickey with 16 points and Dick Aldrige with 12 points. The game featured heads-up ball by all of the Warriors. We might especially mention the fine defensive (and offensive) jumping of Brian McCormick and the excellent rebounding of Jerry Hickey and Bob Pando. Dick Aldridge and Ray Palmer, while playing well on offense, did a fine job of defensive guarding on the Mae stars. Jim Hann, Ian MacNaughton, Bill Steinberg and Tim Craig, while they were not used as extensively as the other boys, did very well while they were on the floor. The whole team showed the fans what some talent added to a lot of teamwork can do. . . OIAA title. Our congratulations and best wishes go to Bill Jones as he will soon be leaving us to continue his studies for the Priesthood elsewhere. Bill has played extremely well for the team, witness 30 points in Tuesday’s game plus setting up several other baskets for the Warriors, Incidentally he scored 10 out of 10 free throws in the game, while the team scored 24 out of 29. Good luck, Bill! Our congratulations to Coach Dan Pugliese and Athletic Director Carl Totzke - we wonder if they’re dried out yet. The team apparently threw them both into the showers after the game. Keep up the good work boys and we’ll hope to see you in OQAA next year.

letters to the .Editor RE
EDITORIAL Until the game at Mae. I steadfastly refused to believe the verity of the reputation the engineers have acquired for themselves. After sundry exhibitions ranging from slight imbition to “completely stoned”, I now believe all that has been said of them. We may have won the game down there but I think our reputation suffered. I am speaking now of the reputation of the university and not that of the engineers. Although many will disagree, I feel these two reputations are becoming distinct and the sooner the better. I’m not begrudging anyone a few beers or denying them the right to have fun, but many people these days think that one is virtually impossible without the other. There were a few individuals at the Mae game who made it quite unpleasant for others. These are the types I object to, the children disguised as university students, the meatheads that think they are the funniest guys on earth when they are drunk. This editorial is of course for the few rather than the majority. I doubt that any fiery tongued orator will spring to their defence because he will see my position is quite renable. The few I am referring to will not attack my position because I doubt if they have the intelligence to write letters. If however they manage to give a reasonable explanation for their conduct then we shall certainly print it. Please don’t dig up the old chestnut about “who needs to explain it, it’s traditional at university.” That is garbage and no one is going to buy it.

ZQuestion of the Week ? Do you think the addition of females to the University of Waterloo is a help or a hindrance to your scholastic life? It is apparent that some “females” registered, permanently attached to the appendages of their respective escorts, and therefore should be considered subtractions. However, as for some others __ they may or may not hinder scholastics, but certainly LIFE is more enjoyable! Vivent les Femmes. A. B. Strong, 3A Engineering

Definitely a hindrance! We didn’t have any girls on the and it sure is distracting having them around now! John A. Phillips 3A Mechanics
Not only do they add to the scenic beauty of this institute but from the mathematical point of view, they demonstrate more vividly than could any text the principle of continuity of curves. Vivent les Femmes! S. Mazur SC. 2

EXAMINATION BOOKLETS Examination booklets in the past have been very difficult to use, both for the examined and the examiner. The lines of the paper used have been very heavy, wide blue. If the writing is done with either pencil or ball pen or even with a fine fountain pen, reading becomes very difficult so that examiners must surely suffer from strained eyes. Some solutions to these problems have been suggested. Why not use the faintsquared pattern that is compulsory for many of our labs instead of the heavy blue lines. Green crosshatching would be still better. I am sure that a great many students professors and would appreciate anything that could be done about this problem. Soreyes. Carol Lake, Newfld. February 17th, 1961 The Co-ordination Dept. at The University of Waterloo, Waterloo, Ontario. Dear Mr. Smith: We are having a wonderful holiday at Carol Lake. The weather is a balmy 49 below. Accommodations and food are equally excellent. Recreation is unlimited!? The most pleasant thing about this place is its restful quietness ~ occasionally broken only in the early morning hours by a singing janitor with a monotone baritone, or by the fellow down the hall (he’s been here 14 months) playing “Are You Lonely Tonight,” over and over again. Another advantage we have over civilized people’s is we don’t have to fret,- over which girl to take to which dance. There are no girls and there are no dances. When do you intend to take a trip to Carol Lake? This letter will no doubt convince you that you are missing a wonderful vacation opportunity if you pass ux) this trip. lThe one sport we are all really enjoying is hockey, Carol Lake stvle. It is a combination of boxing, football and fencing. The rules include down ice blocking, etc., but all boxing must be done without gloves and fencing only with taped sticks. Seriously, we are enjoying the work term at Carol Project. The work is quite nteresting and the living conditions much better than we expected. Glad to hear we all passed 2s we’re not too interested in making a career of being 2 student. Our motto “Next stop - the top.” Yours truly, A. Sherk J. W. Kerr Robt. Mitchell J. Cunningham R. J. Kovacs
