Saturday morning, 9 November, the University of Waterloo combines with the Waterloo Lutheran University in presenting a massive parade to welcome back the graduates of the schools on the occasion of Homecoming Weekend. This parade will mark the beginning of a day which will be recalled with pleasure by all who partake of the variety of activities which it will offer. The parade, representing the largest co-operative program between the students of Waterloo’s two institutions of higher learning, will proceed from Kitchener Memorial Auditorium to Seagram Stadium. by way of Borden Avenue, King Street,
for
the
University Avenue, and Lester Street. It will leave the Auditorium at 9 :30 a m. As previously stated, this will be a “co-operative program” between U of W and WLU. Perhaps co-operation is the wrong word, for the real spirit of the parade is one of competitioncompetition between the schools and competition between the faculties, colleges, and clubs in the schools. The theme of the parade is “Great moments in history” and the combined Homecoming committees have decided to present a prize for the most serious approach to the theme and an identical prize for the most humorous
The United Nations Week, sponsored by the World University Services of Canada, Waterloo branch, lasted from Monday 21 October through Friday 25. The theme of the week was Latin America. ’ It started on Monday with the opening of the displays of arts and crafts from Latin American countries. Some of the paintings which were borrowed from the Brazilian Embassy included works by youngsters under ten years old. The display, which is in the lobby of the Arts Theatre, will be held over for the benefit of those people who as yet have not had- the opportunity to see it. During the week, two movies were shown each day: these films dealt
C US0
with the technological advancements of the Latin American countries, especially Mexico and Brazil. From these movies one is able to see the great steps being made in modern architecture, city planning and construction. Also, as prospective tourists, the audience is treated to some firsthand information on Latin America’s attractions for tourists. At a luncheon on Thursday, the executive committee of WUS welcomed Mr. J. A. Dougen, from Ottawa, the Assistant Director of External Affairs for Latin America. At 8 pm Mr. Dougen gave a very interesting and informative address on “Canada and Latin America”. The attendance at this address was quite good although it should be noted that the majority of people were not students from the University of Waterloo. During the evening there were per-

Opportunities for students to work or study overseas are almost unlimited, but up until now there has been no central source of information on campus for students wishing to investigate this type of work. In an effort to give the students as much information as possible on organizations such as CUSO (Canadian University Services Overseas), a group of interested professors and students is arranging the Blitz and Seminar on Overseas Service. Representatives from various organizations such as CUS, WUS, and SCM along with representatives from the church colleges held a preliminary meeting on Tuesday 21 October at St. Paul’s.

-The Blitz will run from 5 to 8 November; each contributing organization will arrange for films, lectures, and exhibits from which the students may choose whatever interests them. The Seminar on the weekend of 9-10 November ,will be conducted for those students who are seriously considering overseas ‘work. \ The University has been very fortunate in securing as one of the speakers Canon Chiu Ban It, a Malayan priest and barrister, who is secretary for the Service of Laymen Abroad of the World Council of Churches.

Homecoming, 1963! It’s the big social event of the year at U of W and nobody will want to miss it! Friday 8 November, all float builders and others be sure to drop in on the Pep-Dance at Seagram Stadium. It’s the kickoff for the weekend, and you’ll be able to dance, meet the team face to face, and whip up some spirit with our cheerleadersall for the low, low price of only 5oc.

A record crowd is expected for the Saturday afternoon football game versus WLU at 230 pm, and you’ll want to be there too. So bring your blankets (and anything you will need to keep warm) and cheer the Warriors on to victory! Saturday night is the climax to the whole weekend. The

endeavor. In addition an overall champion will be recognized. The presentation of awards will be made at halftime in the Warrior-Hawk football game. The various groups around the University ’ of Waterloo’s campus have come through famously and as a result have given the university an excellent chance of taking home all the prizes. Special mention must be given to the girls in Arts I and the out-term engineers, both of whom are putting floats in the parade. The roster of other contributors is: one from each of the colleges on campus (Renison, St. Jerome’s, and St. Paul’s); two floats
spectacular
from each of Arts, Science, and Engineering; one float from the Circle SK club; one from the Students’ Wives Club; and a band float with a group formed by Ward Hymmen. The Committee wishes to thank all these groups for the support in making our portion in the parade almost unbeatable. Only the judges can say,for sure. No homecoming parade is complete without cheerleaders-and ours, we hope, will be able to come in style in some of these flashy convertibles which we have seen cruising around campus. Anyone having such a car and willing to drive a pretty girl around town in a great procession,
should contact Barry Houser (Arts I) or leave their name in the Student Offices (Annex 1). Last year’s winning float was a huge Viking float built by Mechanical Engineering ‘65. This year, with an intercollegiate a competition entering’ the picture, it will be much harder to keep the winning float a University of Waterloo effort. Let’s see what you can do. Float, building is a major project requiring a great amount of #work and planning. Look up those in charge of building the float for your group and give them a hand. Who knows, you might even have some fun!
MALL BALL
BY INTERNATIONAL formances by Latin American and African dancers. There was Marty Kravitz and his folk dancing group followed by Jose Tejeda and his group, which included Lynn Robertson, Jane Tancock and Salvador Braewer. They displaye,d to the crowd how to dance the mambo, the meringue, the chacha and the samba-all in the Latin American way. The African group including Ron Edari, Jim Layode, Pade Fadere, Jane Tancock and Toks Oshinowo danced to the Nigerian “Hi-life” music, the cha-cha from the Congo, and the South American “Boot dance”. < Jane Tancock, who appeared with both groups, did extremely well, considering that she is a home grown Canadian. The night was brought to a close about 1~30 am with the crowd well satisfied-despite many com-
Homecoming ‘63 semi-formal “Un soir & Paris” will be held at Bingeman Park Lodge. In a romantic Parisian setting youth dance to Benny Louis and his orchestra and welcome back the alumni. Late in rthe evening, a delicious sandwich buffet will be served. Tickets for this dance will go on sale tomorrow in the main foyers of th,e Arts, Physics and Engineering buildings at a price of $4.00. . There’s not much time left, so plan ahead. Buy your tickets soon and don’t’ miss out on Homecoming ‘63!

success, and also to Ron Edari, the chairman of WUS, and his secretary Marie Eisenport for their hard work. The UN week is an annual‘event on campus and we hope that next year’s will be even more successful. To all those people.who participated in the activities we say thank you.

He will be flying in from Hong Kong for a short visit to Canada at the time of the Seminar. Mr. Claude Brodeur, director of Student Affairs, has offered to establish a permanent centre which will dispense information to the students and which will show the university’s concern for this type of work.

/ .Society is often represented as a system of blocks or categories. Individuals with similar interests l or occupations are ‘pigeon-holed’ into ther respective groups, and these groups are always diagrammed as separate individual units. The clergy form a unit, old people form a unit, students form ‘a unit, teachers, negroes and statesmen are all blocked off into units. This unity or ‘togetherness,’ attitude amongst. members within a group gradually builds up a barrier around them, and cuts off the rest of society. Inter-group communication slows down and atten,, 1 dant misunderstandings grow. Gross examples of this are found in ’ immigration centres. , ,: The Italians’ didn’t/ emigrate to Canada, they simply moved a piece of Italy to a different .’ section of the globe. The Germans have their Concordia .Clubs, the Chinese their Chinatowns and so on I ’ I down the list. Although not so clearly denned; this same attitude is prevailing on this campus Ibetween the . ,’ faculties. The Engineer fri@s the Artsman to be flambuoyant, whishy-washy and not too bright. The 1 JArtsman in turn thinks that Engineers are boorish, narrow-minded and unsophisticatedly simple. Both \ conceptions are false, and’ both are a result, of icomplete lack of understanding and appreciation for the J ‘other’s group. Because very, few Engineers ever read ‘arty’ material (their Arts electives don’t even I~: skim the surface) they naturally feel that there .is nothing io an Arts course= Conversely, how can Arts’ men, even begin to appreciate the vast complexities ‘of applied science when his own scientific background stopped \at the kindergarten level (grade 13)? Nevertheless, the Arts man insists on picturing , himself as the man of ideas, the thinker of ,thinkers; the Engineers feels he is the ‘prince of Society’, -. the, force that moulds civilizations. (\I 1 ’ The truth, is, that both groups are equally important to civilization. This block diagram con, cept ‘is false. Society does not consist of separate units. Instead, the units are like loose bundles of fibres, i i and G ,all these fibrous groups are thoroughly intertwined and’ interlaced. ’ The time to realize this is at the undergraduate level. Appreciative communication must be ,\ maintained between the Arts and the Sciences. We are members of one society, not two. : , ,

Several weeks ago there was Q meeting of the Graduation Ball Committee. Composed primarily of “Class of ‘64 Engineers”, the committee decided unanimously to hold the Grad. Ball on Feb. 21 p 1964 at the Victorian Inn in Stratford. At present the executive of the committee is made up entirely of Engineers and it was these chaps that investigated all the possibilities of time, place, etc. When the proposals were put forth everyone I (includmg representatives, >from Arts and Science) agreed that the aforementioned combination was the yptimum. , ’ Apparently, now that all the arrangements have been made, band contracts signed, ticket options sent to out term Engineers and so on, a group of Arts and Science students are dissatisfied with ‘the situation. It is the opinion of this group that the ideal time to have the Ball would ,be)the night directly prior to Convocation. Ideally, this may be true, but from a practical’ standpoint I disagree. Obviously the committee disagrees also or they would’nt have chosen the night of Feb. 21. To display their disapproval and bolster their arguments,, the group signed a petition and presented it to the Grad. Ball Committee at their latest meeting. At this gathering, unlike the one before, Arts and Science were well represented in numbers with their spokesman (the ,lady who started the petition) Inez Akmens speaking on their behalf. l
The

‘when
George
Newton,
chairman of thecommittee; outlined for the benefit of the complainers the reasons for deciding as they did. I won’t go into all the details of his argument here as those that will be graduating will become aware of them in the near future. Miss Akmens then had her say and expressed what she \ called the opinion of ‘most of the graduating Arts and Science Students’. The theme of ’ her argument /was basically: “We would Iike to have the Grad. Ball close to Convocation”. ‘When the two opposing factions had expressed their opinions, the floor was opend to discussion. During’ this period the question arose”.-- If “most of the Arts and Science students are dissatisfied” why did +hey not attend the original meeting and say so then. One lame excuse given was that ‘%‘s pretty hard to see notices. on the bulletin boards nowadays”. Maybe the truth is that people just’ aren’t interested enough to read the boards or if they do, they think “Who wants to go to a stuffy j old Grad. Ball committee meeting? I’ve got homework to do”. Admittedly the bulletin boards are crowded, and admittedly one can think of better things to do than go to meetings, yet when only four or five people from the entire graduation class of Arts and Science show up it indicates either complete lack of interest, in the Grad Ball or complete trust in the Arts and Science representatives who voted ‘on behalf of them. Obviously they are interested or ‘this whole #issuewouldn’t have arisen and yet Miss Akmens, had the audacity to say that Murray French, the Science rep. was wrorig voting the way he did and was not expressing the desires of: the faculty he represented. Even so, if all the Arts and Science reps. there had voted aginst the date, the overwhelming number of Engineers present would have still carried the motion. Obviously something is wrong here. True, no one faculty should have the controlling say in the matter, yet this was the case at the first meeting due to lack of participation by the Arts and Science students. The main purpose of last Wednesday% meeting was to give -the upset people a, chance to air their views and express their ideas. The meeting was run in an extremely efficient manner by \ Students’ Council President, Jim Kraemer, and as a result, very little mud-slinging occurred. However, no compromise could be reached as to dates. The Grad; Ball was to be either Feb. 21 or May 22 before Convocation. It was decided that the only fair way to choose was to let each interested graduate say when he or she would prefer’to .have the Ball. To this end a plebiscite will be made available to the grads in the near future. Accompanying it will be a short resume, prepared by S.C. president, of the prosi and cons of each date. I would ask the interested people to vote wisely expressing their own opinion and not necessarily that of their particular’ faculty. 1

Boy: The Privy Coumil
“The history ‘of eve,ry community and every constitution”, wrote the British historian that James Bryce in j9al J “may be regarded as a struggle between the action of these two forcesJ which draws together and that which pushes apart, that which unites and that which dissevers’?. *One *of the factors that h+ strengthened regional divisions within the Canadian Union has been 1 the legacy of- judicial interpretatioris handed down by the judges of the Privy Colimeil. Dominion-Provincial jurisdiction was decided by sections 91 and 92 of our written constitution, the -B.N.A. act of 1867. In essence, section 92 enumerated under sixteen headings the powers of the provinces, including “Property and Civil Right‘s” and “Generally ‘all hatters of a merbly Local or Privai.e Nature”. The residual powers fell to the newly created Dominion begislature, -and “for greater certainty” examples of those powers deemed of national significance were listed under 29 headings. It was the proud boast of Sir John A. that Canada .was thus immune fr,om the coctrine of states’ rights which was ravaging the very ‘disunited States at the time of the Confederation Debates: “we have avoided all conflict of jurisdiction an‘d authority”. Time and the Privy Council were to destroy these expectations. Thank God for the Privy Council; it has proven an exceptional whipping boy for our constitutional difficulties A detailed review of their decisions would be out of plate here. Yet one ca$e stands out as particularly significant in that it determinqd the lines of constitutional development . aqd foreshadowed our present dilemtia. In th? Local Prohibition Case of 1896, Lord Watson held that the Dominion, when legislating under the general “peace, order and good government” clause, “has no authority to encroach upon any class of subjects which is excltisively assigned to the provincial legislators by s. 92”. Further, he stat$d that the exercise of legislative power under th;! general clause of section 91 must be “strictly confined to such matters as are of unquestionably Canadian interest aqd importance”. Because of Lord Watson’s decision’ future judges took the view that the federal government could pass no law for the whole Dominion which one province would be able to p&s for itself. Why ,did the judges of the Privy Council [reverse the clearly expressed desires of the Fathers of Confederation? , is threefold; First of all, judges can decide only on the basis of the written word -_ The’answer of the constitution, and all matters of intent elsewhere expressed is ‘deemed irrelevant.

The craze for fads among Univefsity students Seems never ending. There was telephone booth cramming, marathon monopoly playing, piano smashing, b&d pushing and so on. Well the University of Western Ontario has come UD with an&her one: Volkswasren carrjring! During thg’ homecoming parade, appro’ximately 60 of Western’s males will be carrying a Volkswagen on a, special cradle, thus setting a Gorid’s record for Volkswagen carrying.

decisions merely reflected the, pronounced regionalism that marjifested itself several years after Confederation. And a factor closely allied wiih ihe outburst of’provincial rights, the judges sought to reconcile the Canadian constitution with the concept of federalism. For .according to the preamble of the B.N.A. Act, what was desired by the contracting parties was a federal union. At that time federalism, the only living model of which was the United Stat&, implied a balance of powers between a central government and the semi-sovereign stat&. In Lbrd Watson’s own words, “the object of the #Act (B.N.A.) was neither to weld the p+ovinces into one, nor to subordinate provincial governments to a central duthority, but to’cr&e a federal government” . . . each province retaining its independence and <autonomy”. As time and judicial interpretation staggered on;the rjrovinces were given new responsibilities’ especially with the advance of thp welfare state concept. While judicial interpretation confirmed the federal gov&nment’s almost exclusive control of lucrative taxation devices, the broad construction given to “‘property and the whole field oi social legislation.” This thrust the entire burden of sqcial servicgs upon the financially-narrow’ shoulders of the provinces. In spite of her restrictions, the Dominion government cotild’not overlook its obligation to serve the national interest; it therefore devised the haphazard, confused, and illogical expedients which exist to tpis present day. Basically this involved encouraging the provincial legislatures to enter into increasingly more cobplex and costly fields of social legislation, with the federal govern-, ment uliderwriting a”large portion of the expenses. Several attempts have been made at r&ching a solution; but all have been sacrificed upon the altar of jealous provincialism. What, t&n, is the solution to the prqblems that the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council have given birth to? Better yet, is there a solution? Rogers, in his paper Political Principles of Federalism, is cif the opinion that it is our mode of const@utional interpretatibn which is at fault. He suggests that instead of a legal judicial interpretation of a written document, we should rather\ attempt to devise’some machinery whereby the very politicians who are confronted with the problems ‘on the ground can negotiate ir settlement, free from frustrating legal. technic& ties. But this is no solution. Basic to the whole problem are regional rig&s and jealousies. If these can be overcome, and they can, by the healing tduch of time, then ,and only then can we effect a reasonable federal structure, finally’

by GEORGE
WELSH
I would like to say that the Theatre of the Arts glowed on the evening of 21 Oct. as the Canadian Players performed I, Henry IV, but the only things glowing were the beaded foreheads of the cast as they plunged on in the fine Canadian Player fashion. When the dust had settled and the pools of beautifully enunciated saliva had dried, it fell to my lot to do the post mortem - excuse me - “review” on the performance. Let it be said of the Players that they projected extremely well-it was impossible to fall asleep because of their sheer volume. I got the impression that their performance was “pitched” for a much larger theatre. But overprojection can hardly be criticized in a play such as Henry IV. Despite the usual purist mutterings of, “no conception of the character” etc., all the players acquitted themselves well. True, perhaps, Munso as Henry IV lacked a certain regalness, a certain nobility as king, but in this he was more than matched by Haskell as Hal, who, though convincingly vehement, negated the effect with an air of malice which seemed to pervade the whole character. Ted D’Arms as Hotspur had been directed to portray the character as an ill-tempered hothead and in this he succeeded admirably. That he gave the portrayal as directed yet still managed to elicit sympathy from the audience was not, I think, as much of a credit to the man’s acting ability as it was to his natural baby baleful expression. Considering that Ron Bishop was in a poor state of health-high temperature and so forth-he portrayed Falstaff with enough talent to justify his choosing the stage as a career rather than pursuing the seasonal occupation of a department store Santa Claus. Thus far I have been concerned with small points, fashionably niggling criticism of what was basically a solid performance. But the battle scenes were enough to test the patience of a small child-especially a small child. Kids could have done a better job. Through towering clouds of dust the players rushed back and forth making a -great racket banging swords and shields. The battle was long to the point of exhaustion for both the actors and the audience. The scenes of mass engagement escape censure in that too much was happening; the mind couldn’t retain what the eye had seen. Then Hotspur and Hal began their battle to the death. “Patty cake, patty cake, baaaaker’s man . . . ” with daggers and swords already. Despite real blood flowing from a nick in Hal’s nose the fight was totally unconvincing. The supposed “death thrust” tore away the willing suspension of dibselief and full half the audience convulsed in laughter. Had he seen the fight, Errol Flynn would have turned over in his grave-several times. And so the performance becomes-a memory. What an awkward time to remember that old chestnut, “Judge not that ye shall not be judged”. As Bishop would say, “He bombed us.”

One is filled with an overwhelming sense of humility and unworthiness in attempting to write a review of “An enemy of the people”. This stems not from any lack of personal opinions on the subject, nor from a fear of offending those involved, but rather from a vague feeling that somehow my reaction to the play must be very, very wrong. I made the mistake of enjoying it immensely. This wouldn’t be such a failing usually but in this case Mr. Nathan Cohen had already handed down the “correct” verdict. Mr. Cohen
Chamber
music begins Scrturduy with piunisf, brass ensemble
The first concert in the University of Waterloo’s 1963 - 64 Chamber Music Series will feature instrumentalists from the Faculty of Music, University of Toronto. The concert will be held this Saturday evening, 2 November, 8.30 pm, in the Theatre of the Arts. The concert will be given by pianist Aurelle Biggs and a brass ensemble, directed by Ezra Schabas, associate professor of music at Toronto. Aurelle Biggs began her studies at the Royal Conservatory of Music and graduated with her ARCT in 1951. The next nine years were fully occupied with the raising of three small children, and in ‘1960 Mrs. Biggs entered the Artist and Licentiate Diploma Course with the Faculty of Music, University of Toronto. She .graduated with outstanding honours and was presented with the Eaton Graduating Scholarship award for 1963 by Mrs. John David Eaton. This award is only granted to a student who achieves particularly high distinction throughout the entire course. Mrs. Biggs first drew attention to herself at the age of thirteen when she
played the entire score of The,pirates of Penzance (Gilbert and Sullivan) as accompanist for the Jarvis Collegiate Glee Club, and her fine performance of the Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No. 1 with the Royal Conservatory Symphony Orchestra last year proved that she is well on her way to becoming one of Canada’s outstanding young pianists. This year Mrs. Biggs will be giving her debut recital at Eaton Auditorium in Toronto while continuing her studies in New York. Mr. Schabas, who will direct the brass ensemble, is a clarinetist. He has appeared as soloist and chamber music player on the CBC and throughout Ontario. He has been in charge of instrumental ensembles in the Faculty of Music for several years. The varied repertoire of the Toronto group includes music from the “golden age of brass”-the sixteenth and seventeenth century until the present day. Mr. Schabas feels that we are in the midst of a renaissance in brass ensemble music. Its stylistic roots, how-
ever, are in works for the medium of 200 to 400 years ago, rather than the more recent classical and romantic periods in music. Instrumentation varies in the ensemble although the basic group numbers seven players, two trumpets, french horn, euphonium or trombone and tuba. The quality of sound aimed at is more brilliant than that associated with the contemporary brass band so popular in Great Britain, and, to a lesser degree, in Canada. But, like the brass band, the technical demands made on the players are considerable. Several rehearsals weekly are held by the players who participate ‘voluntarily in addition to their required courses in the Faculty of Music. Joan Bezeau of London, first trumpet, and David Burstyn, prmcipal horn, held the same positions in the National Youth Orchestra this summer. Other players are Paul Higgins, trumpet, Alistair Hay, french horn, Graham Wishart, trombone, Robert Krueger, euphonium, and Derek Jackson, tuba.

of faculty-staff -student body to govern the activities of the University in this area. Student membership and participation is highly desirable. It is only fitting that students be represented on this committee and have a hart in selecting various works of art to be situated around the University in the future. This will be an area of importance: it is anticipated that one-half of one percent of the cost of each new building will be used for the purchase of art for that building-no small sum when one considers that each building usually cost several millions of dollars. There are five subcommittees: Budget, Student, Gallery, Displays, and Acquisitions. On the last four, hopefully, there will be at least two student members. The Student Subcommittee is responsible to present to the D&E Committee the student viewpoint on the policies (at present in the development stage) and activities of the D&E Committee and the subcommittees. They may also originate student activities in the fields of fine and applied arts. The Student Subcommittees will be made up of all students serving on other subcommittees plus any other students they may wish to add on an ad hoc basis. Students can become members of these committees by expressing their intention to the Students’ Council and being officially nominated. This would seem to be an excellent opportunity for conscientious and imaginative students (there must be some) to aid in the growth of the University. Thursday

Saturday afternoon at Carleton put on an impressive display of defensi the extra weight of the Carleton team Ottawa booted the opening kickoff to the Warriors, who, showing no offensive drive, were forced into a third down punting situation. Carleton’s Ravens took over and passed for two first downs. Then the Warriors’ defence jelled and the Ravens were forced to punt. The punt travelled into the end zone where Glen Grosse was nailed for a single point after a fine attempt to run the ball out. So with ten minutes to go in the first quarter the Ravens took the lead which they never relinquished. Four minutes later, after a series of unsuccessful plays by both squads the Ravens again kicked a single to the end zone. Again the Warrior offense could not sustain a drive and were forced to punt to the Ravens. The Ravens took advantage, and on a secondand-five situation, Con Rioux romp-

CAPETOWN, S.A. (CUP) The South African Minister of Justice, B. J. Vorster, has launched a campaign to disband the National Union of South African students (NUSAS). He accused NUSAS of compulsory membership and “leftish and liberalist” tendencies. Speaking in Cape Town, Mr. Vorster said, “I claim to any unprejudiced mind I have clearly substantiated my charge that NUSAS has become a mouth-piece of leftist and liberalists, that it is tainted with Communism, and has been for many years. “NUSAS, which has thousands of members all over South Africa is a multi-racial organization. It thrives mainly in English-language universities and colleges, where students automatically become members,” he added. Mr. Vorster, a member of the ruling Nationalist party which supports ‘white supremacy’ through its apartheid policies, has sought to bring
division into the ranks of NUSAS itself. The results to date have been unsuccessful. Pressure has been increasing on NUSAS <over the past year. England’s National Union of Students’ President, A. R. Hughes, hinted at these pressures at a meeting back in April when he offered NUSAS any help British students could give. He also offered them administrative facilities should they need them. This might suggest that the South African government will soon ban NUSAS and that a NUSAS-in-exile might be set up in London with the aid of NUS. Jonty Driver, president of NUSAS, has been touring in Europe and America seeking support for his union’s fight against apartheid in South Africa. At last reports he had not returned to his country where he would be subject to house arrest for his political agitations against the Nationist party and government.

In the second quarter the Warrior defence really clicked, keeping the Ravens scoreless and forcing them to punt several times. With five minutes left in the quarter, the Warriors gained control of the ball. This time their offence was not to be contained. With Dick Aldridge gambling on making a first down from a third down and long yards to go, Bob Benedett3 made the most sensational play of the game: instead of punting, he roared around the right end for 25 yards, picking up the much needed first down.

Waterloo drew the first blood of the fourth quarter at the five minute mark. John Galda pounced on a Raven fumble on his own 20-yard line giving the Warriors the ball. Aldridge fired a pass to Jim Ridley, who gave it all he had in running the ball a further fifty yards for the major score. Convert failed. Score 15-12.
The third quarter opened with the Warriors kicking off to the Ravens who immediately ran the ball back to the center field stripe. From there, there was no stopping them. A fine offensive drive was climaxed when the Ravens’ Callan drove nine yards over the right side for the score. A high snap nullified the convert attempt. The remainder of the quarter was played out with no further scoring. Thus the Warriors entered the final

FOLK DANCING
A Sinner
student For your special square dances,
Renison All you saints and sinners come along to the Meet Renison Dance being held this Saturday. Admission is 50~. single and 75~. a couple. The Benison float has progressed to the point where is now resembles a large, lumpy, somewhat irregular piece of cement. This aspect could be the result of a coating of geletinous substance composed of flour, water, and newspaper. If, however, the structure appears a little bedraggled it’s no doubt due to the fact that a superabundance of water came to be used. Renison’s float may not be the biggest or the best, but it certainly is fun to build. A new phone call system has been installed in Renison that is supposed to cut down on the noise so that people will not be disturbed (when working). The new phone in the girls’ wing has been installed in the ‘basement beside the desk provided for the person on call duty. This sounds fine and dandy, but there is one slight problem. A buzzer system had to be provided so that people on the top floor would hear the phone when there was no one assigned to answer it. Now all that can be heard is a constant, nerve-wracking jangle from early A.M. to late P.M. from the basement to the top floor. There is no escape anywhere. It used to be just the girls on the first floor that ran screaming down the hill with their hands on their ears - Now everyone. Oh, the price of progress
The usual farmyard chorus that sings us a nightly lullaby was enhanced by a new harmony early on Thursday morning actually about the hour of 2 a.m. It sounded as if a cow was in mortal agony and in danger of dying. Now, a soft, gentle moo can be very soothing, but when the bellows make the \windows rattle, it’s too much. Upon peering out the window, several figures could be discerned running furtively towards the girls’ wing carrying pails of water. Being somewhat drowsy, it took- several seconds to catch the purpose of this maneuver. But it seems that since the night was rather warm, the windows on the ground floor were all open so . . . After several hours, the pandemonium died down to a few slightly damp grumbles. The relative quiet settled over Renison; a peace disturbed only by the quacking of ducks, the exhausted mooing of the cow, and the chirping of crickets. Such was the historic first raid on Renison. FOOTNOTE: ( The cow was vociferously objecting to being removed from its nice warm barn, dragged across the field and lodged in the Renison dining hall. How it was to get up the stairs remains a mystery. However, Renison boys, being noted for their ingenuity, no doubt would have thought of something.
St. Jerome’s
Negro
Right about now I can see somebody jabbing long sharp needles into an effigy of myself. To deal with Mr. Evans’ (the formality of it all ) rebuttal to my statements about Renison’s hockey team . . . ahem . . . well we finished higher in the final standings than Renison anyway, and everyone ‘knows that ,a team should be judged for its performance over a season rather than for a single game. We just had a bad game and Renison got lucky. The only other person that I can think of at the moment who is either angry with what I said or at least takes exception to what I thought was an innocent article, is Fran. Well, Fran, if you admit that St. Jerome’s isn’t so bad, I’ll admit that Renison’s okay too, and we can kiss and make up (huh, Fran, huh?). The building of the homecoming float this year is under the direction of that man with the
golden voice, Dave Becker - just so that you know who to throw stones at when you see it. If you happen to be one of these people with lots of advice but no desire to help, just remember what my Uncle Sidney told me: “Ideas are funny little things, they won’t work unless you do!“. Don’t anyone forget to go to the foot-stomp at the college tonight (unless this paper comes out on Friday in which case the dance was last night so forget it). The dress is casual and the name of the dance is Halloween Hop or something. In case you’ve been wondering why the town has been so quiet lately, it’s because S.J.C. has been having retreats one last weekend and one this weekend. That’s also the reason we’re all looking so pious lately. Apparently plans are under way (under the leadership of Gerald Barker and Bruce Young) for a College magazine at S.J.C., but details I know not. Let’s not keep it secret boys! Another thing, people, (especially you girls) if you want something put in the column, tell Vic or I. Bouquets (of five Roses) go out to Connie Graham for her. work organizing the card party, John Lee for his excellent efforts as Head Prefect, Gary Marsh for his handling of the pop machine, and Kathy Simmonds and Pat Mackesy of the Spiritual Committee for organizing the Halloween Dance. I have a creeping suspicion that this is my last article for St. Jerome’s. Make room St. Paul’s. Now as I was saying Fran . . . . . . Terry.
St. Paul’s Whoopee! St. Paul’s - hoist the banner, lower the flagpole, blow the trumpet, we won the track and field competition. “To the victors the spoils;” so last Tuesday our hereos were treated to a formal banquet. Take note Renison and St. Jerome’s: “WE plan to have many more victory banquets.” Renison may be the freest with its spirits but, as was witnessed by the turnout on Tuesday, St. Paul’s has the highest degree of college spirit. And meanwhile the Chess Tournament swings into its fourth round. Many thanks to Renison for their 1exposee on the low life in the St. Paul’s cuisine. I am sure Russ will be overjoyed to hear this sonnet of praise. Perhaps myopic Renison does not realize our head chef is also their head chef. I attempted to gain an understanding of their song by logical thinking. This proved impossible. Example: One line read: “We had to eat it.” This song is obviously not sung by anyone from St. Paul’s, The reference drawn from this is that Renison consumes our leftovers and rejects such as “burning chicken,” and “burning steak.” Following
up this bit of deductive logic, we conclude that perhaps Renisonians are masochists. Quote “Oh it was awful, I had to eat it” unquote. Some unknown power (maybe their carnivorous appetite) forces Renisonians to eat over-cooked meat. Or could it be that the author of this delicately composed poem was carried away by her literary licence. I admit the song certainly was original. The obvious use of rhyming couplets and Petrarchan Sonnet form led to an effect of overwhelming pathos, unique in the English language. The use of unusual words “awful”, “needit” and “wantit” added deep feeling closely akin to nausea. Sunday night was “Let’s Be Saved Night” at St. Paul’s. Approximately thirty residents enjoyed an entertaining evening at the Waterloo Theatre. The “Reverend”, having mentioned the incorrect theory of evalution and creation taught in university, was answered by a round of hisses from outraged and outspoken students. As a result, some of the rowdier elements were almost removed by the husky attendants. Dave.

One of our deep-thinking philosophers has informed me that some of the statements in my article of a fortnight ago were “pretty ignorant” and that I’ve “never had it so good.” Apparently my homeaway-from-home is some sort of Sacred Cow, always to be revered. Well, as superior as it ‘may be to other residences on campus, I still happen to have a few other stones to throw. Here’s this week’s. Why aren’t paper towels placed in the dispensers regularly? Some of us are getting tired of groping down darkened halls with wet hands and faces (while sober or otherwise).

SOCK HOP TOMORROW NITE Looking for something wildly radical and imaginatively different to do tomorrow night? Why not hit the Monster Circle K Sock Hop at Im1 Seagram Stadiuq dt 8:OQ pm? Then on the other hand, you are probably wondering -(as is intended) just what the Circle K dance ha& to offer that others ,, haven’t. The secret ‘is, that in addition to the usual decorations, music and atmopphere, this dance will give to each customer, free of charge, a motive. What the foregoing, quasi-facetious and totally obscure passage means to \ say is precisely this: the club will use the proceeds from this dance to establish sports. For I 5 an atinual athletic award for individual excellence in intra-mural this reason all those that attend will depart with thp heart-warming knowledge tha! they have helped this worthwhile project.

Because of the almighty dollar Canadians gravitate tb the U.S. “It’s personal greed that’is doing-it. We have sold our country down the river. We want independence, but we’re afraid to pay for it.” Mr. Berton said he treated the Institute of Trivial Affairs-the first Berton show, a satirical treatment of Canadian news event&--with an underlying tone of seriousness.
