The conference on College Centres and Campus Unions in Canadian Universities, held here last Friday, cannot be called either a success or a failure, for the purpose was never made clear. However, something of value was accomplished, in that some of the problems regarding College Unions were formulated, and attempts were made to solve them. The conference started at 10:15, with Warden J. A. Becker, of McMaster U. giving the origins of the conference. Mr. Claude Brodeur, Director of Student Affairs, stated a main problem: “Are college unions necessary ?” Members of a panel gave their views on this and told what their universities were doing. The discussion afterwards centred on the problems of student control of a student centre.

The angry young men of the campus are not so angry. They are now speaking of tact, good communications and making all facts available whether or not the influence is for or against their project. I was, particularly struck by the cool, level-headed manner in which the Student Store Committee carried on their meeting Friday, 8 Nov. This committee was set up to study the University and Student Book Stores. At their meeting they considered such questions as : Should the University Book Store operate at a profit or a loss after expenses? What items should this store sell? Should there be a Student Store as well as a University Store? Who should set any Book Store policies? What should some of these policies be? i.e., discounts to students, refund policy, checking of books before entering the store, etc. The question of profit was carefully considered. What profit is made by the University Book Store goes to subsidize Athletics so the student doesn’t really lose anything. The University Book Store doesn’t sell used books, reprints of examinations or jackets. If the University Book Store would take these items over, the committee say, “it would rather not have a student store but that the University Store sell by certain precepts set by the committee because a student store cannot equal the services of the University Store.”

Also, “we must realize that if we were to attempt to operate our own store, we would have to be reasonably certain of making a success of it in order not to jeopardize our future position.” Paul Swartz, Vice-president of Students’ Council presented, at council meeting, this method of operation. 1) Students’ Council should recommend to the President of the University that a University Book-store Committee be established to include students and faculty who would enjoy equal standing. 2) Both Faculty and Students on the Committee would take equal responsibility in maintaining high standards within the University Bookstore’s public relations. 3) Students’ Council should recommend to this committee that the same discount, accorded to the Faculty on the sale of text books, should be accorded to students. A survey will soon be conducted to discover what students think of the situation. The Student Bookstore committee has consulted the Psychology and Sociology Departments and is intending to consult the Statistics and English departments. while formulating a questionnaire. Another idea put forward at the meeting was that the Coryphaeus publish a financial report of the University Bookstore.

Last July, a protem committee on University Residences with members from the Administration, Faculty and student body, was established to plan the physical and governmental structures of Residences on our campus. Slowly and steadily a new idea in building residences developed-“A Medieval Village Concept.” The committee planners became more and more enthused as weeks went on until finally last week a report of recommendations to the architect was completed. The accepted idea of building blocks of bedrooms for residences on the Waterloo campus was completely discarded. Instead, our University will be building a village with all the frills such as a village square, a town hall, alchapel, a village hall, and commercial shops. The general layout will be similar to a medieval village where the residences will border the village square. The Residences itself will be unique. Ten to sixteen students will live Together as a “group” in an apartment having facilities such as a loun’ge and a kitchen. Several of these groups make up a “house” while two “houses’ make up a residence. Each residence consists of approximately eighty women and eighty men students with a common dining hall. The committee feels that the above organization permits a student to retain his individuality, but at the same time ensures that he identifies himself *‘group”.

A movie on the student centre at the University of Wisconsin was shown. A rather overpowering film, it gave a picture of the type of union that is a recreational centre, a fun house. It would appeal to the average student, but hardly to the faculty advisors, or the thinking student. After lunch, Dr. Ryan of the University of Alberta (Edmonton) gave a talk on the student centre of Alberta, financed and controlled completely by the students. Trusted by the administration, the students did not betray this trust, and have planned a building that has been acclaimed by the Association of College Unions as a model of what a union should be. The group then split up into 3 study groups, each studying an aspect of college unions. The section I was in, studying the College Union programme, devolved into several eulogies to Hart House, the men’s union of U of T, and the other two, on building the union, and on student participation in the control of it, became simply chances for people to state the problems at their universities and no attempts at solving any of the problems were made. The conference closed that night with a banquet at St. Paul’s College, and a speech by Warden Joseph McCulley, M.A., of Hart House which summed up admirably theipurposes and problems of College Unions. The purposes of a college union seem to be 3-fold; to provide recreational facilities for students and faculty; to educate the student in those areas untouched by classes; and to provide a unifying force for the university. Except for Mr. Pattullo, Associate Dean of Arts and Science at Yale University, all present agreed on the necessity of a college union. The main pa&s of the discussion were on the precedence to be accorded to each of the purposes, and the best way to achieve them. On the planning side, kudos go to John Braun, conference secretary, Claude Brodeur, and Jim Kraemer. The most outstanding figure at the conference was Professor Ryan of Alberta, who was ably supported by his cohorts from the Calgary Campus. It has been suggested that this conference be- made an annual affair. I concur, but only if it is extended to at least 2 days, in order to accomplish something.

The entire village will accomodate twelve hundred students in residences with the village square as its focal point about which village life will revolve. The Village Hall will serve as a recreational and educational centre while the Town Hall will house student and governmental offices necessary for the operation of the village.

As guest speaker of the closing banquet held at St. Paul’s College, Mr. Joseph McCulley, Warden of Hart House, University of Toronto, proved to be an additional delight to the Conference. Mr. McCulley called upon the Canadian University Community to develop and maintain “a unity of spirit and a consciousness on the part of all concerned of the historical nature and function of the university and the purposes it serves in our society.” ,

A Warden will be responsible for all aspects of the entire village with the assistance of one male and one female Senior Tutor. Also Tutors and Dons will assist the Warden, partly to counsel the students with whom he lives and partly to provide control. Besides the above structure of goyernment, some form of student government which will deal with the internal activities and discipline of the village, is anticipated.

“As students become increasingly conscious of their roles as citizens it is inevjtable that they will develop organization and programme to fulfil1 these new functions. It, however, would be most unfortunate if there should develop on our. Canadian campuses a serious dichotomy between the undergraduate bodies and those. other groups which are equally an integral part of the University.”

Construction will take place in three phases. By the fall of 1965, Stage I will be completed. It will consist of five houses with a total capacity of two hundred and forty men and one hundred and sixty women students. In addition, Stage I will inelude a Coffee House, a Tuck Shop and the Village Hall. Stages II and III have completion dates of fall 1966 and 1967 and include facilities such as a drugstore, newsagent, a barber shop, a laundromat, the Town Hall and the Inter-Religious Chapel.

McCulley expressed concern for the “tendency to develop a kind of continuing struggle between the undergraduate bodies and the anonymous ‘they’ -loosely described as the administration.”

Although he claimed Hart House was not perfect or ideal, McCulley suggested three vitally important facets embodied in Hart House’s organization should be emulated by other university centres. These were: (1) the (2) that (3) for.

that the centre be considered as a vital part of the academic life of University; That membership include undergraduates, graduates and faculty so these may meet on common ground and share a common life. That the centre be active all year long and that continuity be provided

Mr. McCulley ended his address with the hope “that this preliminary meeting of representatives of Canadian Universities who are interested in the union idea may be developed in such a way that our unions may function fully and successfully in the society which it is our primary duty to serve.

SMUG

Mr. Taylor’s letter, which appears next to this editorial, demonstrates exactly the attitude in Students’ Council which is rendering them ineffective. In one word Student Council members are SMUG. No one is accusing them of not working hard. In fact, this year’s Student Council works like mad. BUT, on the wrong thing. To use the engineer’s favorite criterion, they are INEFFICIE,NT. They expend huge quantities of energy, and achieve very little. Why is this? What’s wrong with them? The answer is simple. Student Council members have lost sight of their goals. They are out of touch with student opinion. They feel that their own opinion is exactly in line with every student on campus. So, wrapped up in their smug little world, of petty student’s politics, they sit in meetings for hours at a time reveling in their cliches. ‘Will the chair recognize . . .’ ‘I’d like to put the question that . . .’ ‘Perhaps Mr. Chairman could be persuaded to . . .’ etc., etc., and etc. When Mr. Taylor reads this Student Council colleagues, will sadly guided and ignorant The Coryphaeus they are doing a good job that they selves and their goals, and how well Student.

In any job, on a student level or not, where an individual is representing other people he must be constantly re-examining himself and his views. In other words he must KEEP UP TO DATE with his public. Student Council members are not up to date. It is such a pity too. Think what would happen if they could expend all their energy actually working for the students. A good example of wasted energy is the Grad. Ball committee’s recent fiasco. This committee genuinely believed that they had chosen the most popular date to hold the Grad. Ball. Well, the plebiscite proved that they were wrong, and all of their arrangements will have to be changed. If they had made sure of their ground before starting, all this energy would not have been wasted. (To say nothing of the cost of the Plebiscite itself). Mr. Taylor and his colleagues are treading the same false road as the Grad. Ball committee, and worst of all, they are sublimely ignorant of this fact. Student Council members should drop into some of this university’s administration meetings. These people know what they are talking about, and the quantity of accurate business that gets handled per meeting would make their heads swim. The Editor acknowledges that at least Mr. Taylor is interested enough to write this newspaper. It is pleasant to receive such an intelligent (though a little misguided) and well written letter.

Dear Sir, There is a place in our society for criticism; criticism that is given in a well meaning and constructive way. Much of the criticism recently leveled at certain individuals by means of your paper has been neither well meaning nor constructive. I would like to refer in particular to a November 14 letter to the Editor captioned: “Newman one up”. This Roy Masters”, letter, from a “Mr. unduly criticised the Vice-President and other members of our Students’ Council for what he called “wandering with a misguided dedication through the fog of student government .” “Mr. Masters” has offered destructive criticism but has put forth no positive constructive ideas. I suggest that the fog which he visualizes is really only the fog of his own self-centred little world. The members of our Students’ Council are not perfect. Like all of “Mr. Masters,” they us, including have their weaknesses and their faults. They, however, are attempting to do something useful for their University despite these weaknesses and faults. In reality, it is “Mr. Masters” who has a misguided dedication, it is he who should be pitied rather than censured; he has offered nothing to this University, he has sought to de-

Dear Sir, There is a very sincere and mature group of about twenty people here on campus who meet for about six or seven hours a week. These people meet solely to: (a) promote the student

the general interests of body of the university.

(b) serve as a bond of union between the students, alumni, and graduates of the various faculties. (c) the principle means of communication between the university authorities and the student body. (d) represent the student body at university functions and on public occasions . This group Council.

For the past four years I have worked with this group in various capacities, generally as an engineering representative, to achieve those goals mentioned above - particularly the first.

Canadian

University

Press

This is the only year of the past four that I get the impression that the efforts of this group are somewhat in vain. Not because of lack of leadership or effectiveness but rather a general lack of understanding and appreciation on the part of the students. Why this year and not others? I asked. And after some thought this is the conclusion to which I came. We have an editor who seems to think that the sole purpose of a university newspaper is to be critical of Students’ Council. Also, our editor seems to place more importance on quantity rather than quality in reporting Students’ Council matters. Now, being a busy man, our editor talks some poor unthinking, innoccent soul, Mr. MacDonald, into writ“something” about Students’ ing Council it doesn’t matter what, just so long as it fills a column. It doesn’t even matter if Mr. MacDonald has ever been at a Students’ Council meeting. As a result a lot of unintelligent nonsense appears in our paper. This so-called reporter has neither the insight nor the foresight to competently analyze the actions of Students’ Council. This I can live with, but there seems to be some students on campus here who think that because something is in print it is therefore right and correct in every respect. A typical example of this type of unthinking student is Mr. Roy Masters. a graduate student no less. Mr. Masters apparently fancies himself as an expert on administration training and student government. To the best of my knowledge Mr. Masters has not in the past been even remotely connected with Students’ Council, yet through the misguided reporting of Mr. MacDonald this apparently immature, unintelligent and irresponsible clod finds himself with sufficient knowledge to refer to Students’ Council (in the November 14th issue of the paper) as “a council of incompetent clowns.” I would ask - to challenge our pathetic and apathic friend to attempt to justify that comment. Maybe if we are lucky he will get off that portion of his torso where his brains seem to be located and favor us with his presence at a Students’ Council meeting. Finally I would like to point out to you, Mr. Editor, to stop misdirecting your reporters(?) and allow them to report events as they happen (if they can) and without your personal biasses. It is interesting to note that you have not in the past been associated with Students’ Council but, like Mr. Masters you apparently think of yourself as an expert on student government.

Arichton,

Dear Sir, In response to Mr. Arichton’s letter of last week, I must say that his juvenile attitude did nothing but harm to a very worthwhile cause. Now that you have made it to second year, I suggest Mr. Arichton, that you grow up. John Conliu.

Mr.

Remembrance

justified Whiz,

It’s a good thing to have you ask-. ing for explanations about philosophy. Most people with your opinion of it would not have bothered. In reply to your question as to the “justification” of philosophy, the answer is as follows: (a) one attempts to answer philosophical questions because they are there to be asked, and they seem interesting. (The same is true for most other subjects, I suppose). (b) Unlike other “subjects,” the questions of philosophy are peculiarly likely to need answers occasionally; e.g., questions such as “all right, just what, in the end, is right and wrong?” It may be better to think about them than to barge in like a stupid clod. Mind you, the clod may be right: maybe that is the way to do it. I am only claiming that one could not know that that is the way to do it without thinking about it first. Or is that what you had in mind? Joe Philosopher.

Optimism

good

Sir, Early in the year I criticized quite harshly, an article entitled “Warriors for ‘63.” I thought then, and still do, although to a lesser degree, that it was a terrible article to ever appear in a university paper. Much of my disgust was due I think to the overexuberance and optimism of the authors. At any rate I received a very sensible and logical reply which to say the least, surprised me: I suppose it made me stop and think twice. Mr. Clark simply stated that Doug and Brian were very competent reporters and although inexperienced, would improve. What a prophet! I think every article has gotten better. Since that early article, I’ve gotten to know Brian and Doug personally and they both happen to be very “ordinary, nice guys.” What really impresses me though, is the number of Fimes I see these guys prowling around the Stadium, covering athletic events, and just generally taking a real interest in sports-coverage. This all takes time, and I am quite impressed with what one could call their dedication. Looks like I musjudged them rather badly. I make it a practice never to * apologize for anything I’ve ever done or said, and like I’ve already said, I still think that article was a bit overly optimistic. But maybe if everyone had a little more of that same optimism, the world would be a much better place to live in. I will be managing the varsity hockey team this year and if I can ever help you fellows with statistics or anything else, just ask. Keep up the good work. George

HI.

Day-forgotten?

The Editor, “ . . . at the going down of the sun and in the morning, we will remember them.” So goes the last line of the familiar verse heard each Remembrance Day. But what about here? Was it the effort of a student offering silent commentary on this which caused the publication in the weekly events column of The Coryphaeus to include in the 11 am heading for Nov. 1 lth . . . “meeting of the Apathy Club?” I wonder how many students walking the halls today ever think of how this generation haven’t yet had to “shoulder arms” for the cause in which they, too, doubtless believe. To we who reached maturity in time for the Second World War and remembered our fathers having served in the First, this strikes one as unique. Isn’t it more important then, that we should Remember? You must certainly appreciate the sense of trepidation felt in the last generation in having to learn over again the lesson which should have been learned from the First World War. If we, in turn, fail to honor the Dead by whose sacrifice (for that’s what it was) we enjoy the freedom we know today. History may indict us by insisting the lesson be learned all over again. The First War Vets are all but gone . . . the Second grow older - and the tide of indifference grows. Shouldn’t we, in an institution of this size and importance, honor the simple act of Remembrance by a service here. Or alternatively, why can’t it be announced. officially at least in our “Weekly Events Bulletin” - that November 1 lth at 11 am will be observed and those wishing to do so may attend the service at the Cenotaph? Y It is to be hoped that the membrance Day won’t pass some formal recognition on of the University as a whole “we remember.!”

scheduled with no consideration made for conflict with other campus activities. As a result, both college and university activities can, and in some instances, do suffer. Realizing that it takes a reasonable attendance to ensure the success of any programme the student council must establish a working arrangement with the colleges. Another problem is the lack of skill of most of the organizers in promoting and advertising their events. Promotion of campus events requires as much skill, imagination and knowhow as any commercial promotional venture, but most students don’t have the skill. The following action must be taken by the Student Council immediately to correct this situation:

Campus

Dear Sir, As of late more and more novice organizations and activities are forming on campus. Their growth, while an encouraging indication of student growth is so haphazard that distinct problems are developmg, Booking activities is one of these. New as well as old groups will plan an event, arrange the entertainment or speaker and then come along and advise the student office with a ‘fait accompli.’ Usually it is discovered that another activity of equal or more importance has been previously booked, and the two activities are drawing for participation on the same segment of the student body, but neither can be withdrawn as it is too late to cancel the entertainment or speakers. Also at the present time, all student activities organized through the affiliate colleges are independently

Arrange for a master scheduling of all student activities and,

Have student organizations submit dates of events prior to their finalization of arrangements.

Have affiliate colleges bookings for student activities done through the Office of Student Affairs.

North American Solidarity

by G. WHIZZ

There is a rather interesting Art exhibit in the theatre which, if you are in need of instant mental depression, you should not miss. If you liked finger painting as a child then you’ll love this art exhibit. I kept rushing from canvas to canvas, reading titles for some clue, some motive, even something in the paintings with which I could identify. Then, in every canvas, I began to see into my very soul, into the eternal verities, into everything that was ever a p’art of human experience. Eeee lad, it were wonderful it were. * ** * * It’s too bad there is such a social stigma attached to motorcycles because riding a big machine is a truly exhilarating experience. In the last month I’ve seen Breslau slip past at 60 plus and watched the flashing lights of the airport disappear astern at a cool 85. Slashing through low lying fog patches at 3 am. one feels like a mechanized stranger in paradise. The wind tears at your face, the moon is full and Bridgeport stirs restlessly as the 650 snarls through at police provoking speeds. Cycles are thrilling and you don’t have to own a black jacket. * * * * Last week I was asked to buy a poppy. Rather than admit that I was broke (true by the way) I told the cadet that, “I’d like to buy a poppy but I’m German. Do you think it would be right for me to buy a poppy?” “No, I guess not,” he said. I walked away trying to figure out who had been the more ignorant of the two. * * * ,* The Government is beginning to play around again with the idea of a flag-no Union Jack or Fleur de Lis is to be incorporated into the design. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, how are you going to work nine beavers and a frog into a national flag and not be the laughing stock of the entire world. * * * * To obtain a gun license in Ontario it’s necessary to show a previous license or a certificate from a recognized hunting safety class. I attended such a course and passed with honours. The instruction was too cursory to be believed while the written test was an insult to the intelligence. Flunkers-and there were three Gout of seven who were-after a second chance managed to pass. I suppose the instructor needed the $1.50 which is the fee for this little circus. The situation was analagous to a driving examiner .asking how many wheels are on a ear, then giving you your license, even if you guessed incorrectly. The example is ridiculous, right? But, believe me, it’s no more ridiculous than that little yellow badge with the green cross which says, “Ontario Safe Hunter”. If you are in the woods this season and see one of those little crests behind the muzzle of some cannon, don’t stop to inquire what it is-just run like hell and hope that the idiot’s aim is as poor as our Provincial Government’s attempt at a Hunter Safety Program. * * * * . Balls For a One-Armed Juggler is a fairly recent collection lof poetry by Irving Layton, a rather dirty old man who has a fine way with some dirty new phrases. Layton is a champion of the four letter word and erotic imagery. With Layton, a new era in the washroom wall genre is about to begin. That genre, by the way, if taken in small doses, can be a delightful and welcome change of pace from that to which we are usually exposed. Find a crayon and a washroom and you too can be an Irving Layton. * >I( * * Drop into the gym anytime and you will usually find one or two, perhaps several, types strolling around in the changing room sporting their nudity with an unnaturally brazen nonchalance.

Next there will be : red neon crosses on the hills in the Western Highlands and French frigates cruising off the coast (I’m sure DeGaulle will want a piece of the action) while the clansmen gather and listen to “Scotland the Brave” over their Sony transistors. Any day now the loudspeaker at Prestwick Airport will announce what the country has been’ waiting for : “Air France 707 from Paris disembarking at gate 4. Passengers include Charles E.

Two weeks ago this writer represented the University of Waterloo at the Fifth Annual Seminar on CanadianAmerican Relations’held at the University of Windsor. Quoting Father Boland, the founder and present director: “The Seminar on Canadian-American Relations was established in 1959 as an annual effort to st;dy problems arising from growing interdependence between Canada and the United States. Aiming at the better understanding of these problems, the Seminar seeks to develop solutions in a constructive way.” Although virtually the whole scope of AmericanCanadian relations was scanned by panelists ranging from university students to high-ranking military and civil officers of -both States, what this writer found most intriguing was the section entitled “Domestic problems within Canada and the United States-Their effects on North American Solidarity.” This centred upon an exploration of the French and Negro “problem.” This is not to say that an analogy was drawn between the two, as such would ignore historical perspective. But in each case you are confronted with a people extremely conscious of a ‘*racial” distinctiveness, each seeking to better the social and economic life of that race, and each a mmority within their perspective states, sharing a common inferiority coniplex bred of that minority position. It was ‘thus inevitable that they were lumped together for purposes of study. At the heart of the French and non-French (as “Anglo-Saxon” would be an anachronism) misunderstanding is that fact, to use a bad pun, that they simply do not speak the same language. The French-Canadian contends that Canada is socially multi-cultal but politically bi-cultural and bilingual. The term “Canadian” to the French mind connotes a dualism, a dualism which was consecrated by the “Confederation Pact”. And this view is held in spite of the fact that it bears no historical or legal validity. Confederation was never intended as a “pact” of any kind, racial or regional. But just because the claim is invalid does not seem to detract from the fact that French Canada fervently believes it to be true; and bases her pretentions upon it accordingly. But a homogeneous concept, rather than a duality, is what the English-speaking element envisages in the term “Canadian.” They point to the fact that 26% of the population

of Canada is of neither Anglo-Saxon nor French origin; They argue that this group has seen fit, not to insist upon their exclusiveness as does the French minority, but to amalgamate with the native population to form one cohesive entity which is neither English nor French. Accordingly, when each group stresses the need for a Canadian identity, the French Canadians are viewed as disruptive and divisive, the English-speaking group is eager to effect a melting-pot assimilation. This misunderstanding has led to separation, a concept which this seminar proved is self-defeating. Separatism was born on an eagerness to proclaim French-Canadian social and economic equality, and of the Federal Government’s past attempts at seeking a solution with the swiftness of status quo in motion. Separatism is but a “big stick” to bargain for a more equitable position in Confederation. In itself it is socially, economically and politically impossible. But every time this big stick is waved in the East, it stiffens resistance to change in the West. Separatism, the child of this misunderstanding, is leading to ever increasing frustration in both camps. The heart of the Negro “problem” in the United States is not one of misunderstadding, but rather one of historical antipathy between the white and color$ peoples. Here again the problem is both social and economic : “Equality and Jobs” is their slogan. In spite of well-meaning legislators, such as President Kennedy,-@9 Negro is still very definitely a second class citizen, socially and economically, and this defies all attempts at legislative amelioration. Integration does not- provide a true future for the Negro in the United States; what is needed is an eradication of the stigma of .his race. To both the French-Canadian and the Negro “problem” the solution would seem to be psychological. In both cases the majority must undergo a basic change of attitudes-in the former to accept duality as a Canadian fact, and in the latter to recognize the “black” as cohuman. But psychological changes are the most difficult to effect. In both cases it is going to take a great deal of time, not just years, but generations, and theri some.

Wild croquet HO0 PE R banned, And all the sports of Mammon, He warred with cribbage, and He exorsixed backgammon. His helmet was a glance That spoke of holy gladness; A saintly smile his lance; His shield a tear of sadness. His Vzcar smiled to see This armour on him buckled; With pardonable glee He blessed himself and chuckled. ‘In mildness to abound My curate’s sole design is; In all the country round There’s none so mild as mine is”

And HO0 PE R, disinclined His trumpet to be blowing, Yet didn’t think you’d find A milder curate going.

other for title of most insipid, Patience has two poets; one is Reginald Bunthome, a fleshy, poet; the other Archibald Grosvenor, an idyllic poet, rival for the hand of Patience, the village milkmaid (a Gilbertian Tess of the D’Urbervilles - but MUCH MORE PURE) and competitors for the accolade of ‘Poet-most-likely to-be-Aesthete’.

A fraend arrived one day e At Spi$on-extra-Sooper, And in this shameful way He spoke to MR. HOOPER: ‘You think your famous name For mildness can’t be shaken, That none can blot your fameBut, HOOPER, you’re mistaken!

By switching from insipid curate to aesthetic poet, Gilbert created an! operetta which is a satirical burlesque on the then very topical Aesthetic movement. This cult, led by such famous artistic and literary names as Whistler, Swineburne and Oscar Wilde popularized the ideal of ‘Art for Art’s sake’ and the belief that a perfect female beauty should be pale, sensitive, anaemic, with long dark hair. Oscar Wilde (THE famous aesthete) affected satin knee breeches, long hair, lilies, and decorated his rooms with pastel-blue china and peacock plumes - eccentricities which served. only to deepen the widespread understanding of Aesthetic principles.

‘Your mind1 is not as blank As that of HOPLEY PORTER, Who holds a curate’s rank At Assesmilk-cum-Worter. ’ He plays the airy flute, And looks depressed and blighted, Doves round about him “toot”, And lambkins dance delaghted. ’ He labours more than you At worsted work, and frames it; In old maids’ albums, too, Sticks seaweed-yes, and names it” ,

The tempter said his say, Which pierced him like a needleHe summoned straight away His sexton and his beadle. ’

The excesses of Wilde’s aesthetic disciples led to such affections as ‘Medievalism’, ‘langour’, a very ‘intense’ love of pastel shades and things pastoral, with a subsequent upsurge in the popularity of Japanese prints and lilies all of which absurdities are the butt of Gilbert’s irony.

(These men were men who could Hold liberal opinions: On Sundays they were good’ On week-days they were minions.) ‘To HOPLEY PORTER .go, Your fare I will aford youDeal him a deadly blow, And blessings shall reward you. ‘But stay--I do not like Undue assassination, And so, before< you strike, Make this communication ‘I’ll If Play I

The CORYPHAEUS

Act one opens with a chorus of love-sick maidens grouped around Castle Buthorne, extoling the charms of their beloved, the fleshy poet Bunthome. Their hopes are blighted when the MASSIVE Lady Jane (an Anna Russell contralto type) tells them that ‘Bunthy’ is in love with Patience, a pastoral milkmaid, and has proved the extremity of his devotion to her, by eating FRESH BUTTER from her tablespoon. Now he is not well. At this moment Patience arrives, and confesses that she has never loved - in fact doesn’t know what love means. More to the point, however, is the fact that the 35th Dragoon Guards have once again halted in the village. The love-sick ladies, whose ‘tastes have been etherialized, their perceptions exalted’, are no ‘longer interested in these ‘fleshy men of full habit’ (to whom they were engaged only 12 months before). As the ladies leave to serenade their beloved Bunthy, the Dragoon Guards appear, and, led by their Colonel, (who is not too bright but then, neither are the Guards) sing of the glories of being a ‘Heavy Dragoon’. Once more on the scene of their former conquests, the Dragoons prepare to ‘entertain their ladies. Then, to their horror, Bunthy, that Aesthetic Apparition, arrives. Not only does Bunthy arrive dressed in mauve knee breeches and reading esoteric poetry, but, to the intense chagrin of the Dragoons, he is surrounded by their fiancees (now ex fiancees) who regard Bunthorne as perfect, and look with horror on the dragoon’s uniforms as being as un-Early-English as possible

(and therefore, beyond the pale). Dragoons stomp off, Bunthy escapes from his admirers , long enough to learn that although Patience is quite untaught in the matter of love, and has never loved anyone other than her great aunt, nevertheless, she is quite certain that under ‘any circumstances she couldn’t possibly love Bunthome. Bunthome retires. Crushed. 5 Archibald Grosvenor, ‘the Apostle of Simplicity’ (played by Dr. Capindale) now arrives, and encounters Patience, whom he recognizes as his childhood love. She confesses that now she knows what love is, but. real&s that, whereas true love is unselfish, it would be purely selfish for her to accept him and to monopolise such a perfect being as ‘Archibald the All Right’. Grosvenor and Patience depart, Crushed. and love-sick ladies. Enter Bunthorne, Crushed by Patience’s rejection, Bunty has decided, on the advice of his solicitor, to put himself up to be raflled for. However, Patience

GILB ERT ANI stops the r&e, and to show her unselfishness, promises to marry Bunthy. Dragoon and ladies about to be reconciled, when Grosvenor enters. Ladies fly to the reluctant Grosvenor, leaving dismayed dragoons and Bunthy, furious at his arrival. End of Act I The opening of Act II finds’lady Jane reproaching the maidens for having deserted Bunthome to whom she alone has remained faithful. . . Meanwhile, Grosvenor, still in love with Patience, is finding the attentions of the ladies ‘simply cloying’. He asks of them a half-holiday from their attentions, and tries to further his suit with Patience, who loves him, but feels it is her duty to love Bunthome. , During these straightforward proceedings, Bunthy has been gnawed by jealousy of Grosvenor’s outstanding insipidity, and swears he will be as mild as him - if not milder. So Lady Jane and Bunthy conspire to cut Grosvenor out by Bunthy’s ‘placidity emetical’. Enter Dragoon officers in velvet knee breeches. They have decided that if aestheticism is what the ladies want, that is what they will get. However, Bunthome has bullied Archibald into becoming ‘a matter-of-fact young man’, thereby, (he thinks) leaving the aesthetic field clear for himself, Instead of this, the ladies, following the lead of Archibald-the-All-Right, abandon aestheticism and Bunthome. And Patience, now that Archibald is a matter-of-fact young man, also deserts Bunthy for Archie. Even Lady Jane, Bunthy’s faithful admirer, leaves him to marry an officer of the guards. So Bunthy is left alone (except for his lily). Terry Jones.

In these words Sir William Schwenck Gilbert summed up the purpose of the satirical verses he wrote. He used satire, rather than invective, because he believed. When they’re offered to the world in merry guise,

Unpleasant truths are swallowed with a will For he who’d make his fellow creatures wise Should always guild the philosophic pill. Reform was an aim. Not as a result of bludgeoning, as was Carlyle’s method but reform in defense against the laughter provoked by humorous barbs and biting witticisms. Because he satirized, Gilbert’s satirical verse paints a picture of Victorian foibles; because he was a brilliant humorist, Gilbert’s verse colors the pictures with a delightful humour. Whether he was successful in widely reforming his fellows is doubtful. What he did do, however, was perhaps more important, for he brightened prosy, dull, Victorian society, pricked pomposity, and made Victorians laugh so hard that they forgot to be serious and were consequently saved from the dreary fate of worrying about their dignity. Although Gilbert was an eccentric, he was a conventional eccentric. While almost every minor facet of Victorian life was satirized in his writings Religion. Sex. Ethics the important -and profound aspects of life remained unchallenged. True, the clergy came in for an occasional gentle rib, ‘but S.E.X. was not mentioned, and was only present in the inescapable form of actors, actresses, and Marriage. Ethics he never, never touched. What Never? No Never! Government, the Monarchy and especially the House of Lords, is another matter. “We are peers of highest station Paragons of legislation Pillars of the British nation,” sing the peers. And there can be no doubt that Gilbert meant this. Especially when he had them finish off their eulogy by singing (seriously mind) “Tan-Tantara - zing boom!” Gilbert was particularly shrewd. He knew that for the Peers of the realm to have brains would be disastrous to the “English way of life.” He expressed this opinion succintly in the words of one of his characters, Lord Mounterat, who said “I don’t want to say a word against brains, I’ve a great respect -for brains - I often wish I had some myself but with a house of Peers composed exclusively of people with intelligence, what’s to become of the House of Commons?“, and again, “It so happens, that if there is one institution in Great Britain which is not susceptible to any improvement at all, it is the House of Peers” You couldn’t say anything fairer

than that! Except to say, “For self-contained dignity, combined with airy condescension, give me a British Representative Peer”. The ministers of state are, of course, recruited from that Noble Race, the Aristocracy, which has a brilliant representative in The Duke of Plaza Toro (Ltd.) who is “blazing in the lustre of unaccustomed pocket money.” This Paragon of Nobility informs us of the uses of the Aristocracy, making it only too obvious that these scions of England are indispensable: ‘I present any lady Whose conduct is shady Or smacking of doubtful propriety When virtue would quash her, I take and whitewash her, And launch her in first rate society.” Society is naturally grateful. They are made more so when they see the disastrous results of true democracy: “Lord Chancellors were cheap as sprats, And Bishops in their shovel hats Were plentiful as tabby cats In point of fact, too many Ambassadors cropped up like hay Prime ministers and such as they Grew like asparagus in May And Dukes were three a penny.” - that’s what happens when everyone is equal; after all, “When everyone is somebody Then no one’s anybody.” A Victorian was nothing if not respectable! Very respectable! Beyond a shadow of a doubt! And as Gilbert remarks “We only cut respectable capers.” Gilbert was at one time a struggling barrister. His brief and unsuccessful law career made him fully aware of some of the “limitations” of English law courts. These he satirized repeadedly, for the British courts gave him much material and considerable scope for his cutting comment. Such a one occurs in the casual reference to the availability of justice made by the Learned Judge in Trial by Jury; “All thieves who could my fees afford Relied on my orations, And many a burglar I’ve restored, To his friends and his relations.” And the lawyers, those gentlement who “threw dust in the jurymen’s eyes”, they too received “honourable mention”, or at least their practises did. “Ere I go into court I will read my brief through . . . And never take work I’m unable to do, My learned profession I’ll never disgrace By taking a fee with a grin on my face When I haven’t been there to attend to the case.” , Victorian England was particularly rich in targets for Gilbert’s peculiarly pointed satire; however, no institution, vice or foible of Victorian England did he find as rich a vein for satire, as the “Aesthetes,” those delightfully pastel-coloured hereos of medieval persuasion. The Aesthetes pose and posture throughout one of his most delightful and amusing satires Patience. Here, in the ideal background (i.e. medieval ruin), with “a poppy or a lily in his medieval hand,” Bunthorne (the theatrical child of Wilde and Swineburne both rolled into one) sings of the Aesthetes’ creed.

This earnest band of Empryean poets write verses that are- “wild weird fleshy things; yet very tender, very yearning, very precious.” (With titles such as “0 Hollow! Hollow! Hollow!) These “of the inner brotherhood,” are all “perceptively intense and consumately utter!“, and are all patterning themselves upon: “A most intense young man A soulful-eyed young man An ultra-poetical, super aesthetical Out-of-the-way young man.

GRENKIE In the first game, St. Paul’s, with only 9 men, took a quick 3-O lead with two goals by Dave Sutton and one by Dave Ness. Stan Yagi made some tremendous stops on the Artsmen who were continuously pressing in. However St. Paul’s lead did not last long and the Artsmen came roaring back in the second and third period with seven goals. Brad Kuhn and Terry Joyce each scored a hat trick. George Hunsberger added the other tally for the Arts. Dave Sutton, playing almost the entire game was the only factor in keeping St. Paul’s in the game. The Arts team combined fast skating, hard checking, and accurate passes to come out with a winning team. By the impression given in their first game, Arts are going to be THE TEAM to beat in Intramural hockey this year.

Apologies go out to the swimmers and hockey players. The pictures of you didn’t turn out; so, please forgive the confusion on this page. The Rowing Club held a meeting the other night. Next year they hope to have at least Senior Varsity and Junior Varsity teams. In the coming week, they plan to show some films on training for rowing and also a few rowing regattas. This is really the greatest TEAM sport and it would be well worth your while to go out and see these films. The varsity hockey season is upon us and this year we should do A’0.K. Our Boys take on the O.A.V.C. ploughers tonight at Waterloo Arena. Our forward lines are very, very strong this year, and the defense looks great as well. Jerry Lawless and Don Mervi should be good for at least two goals each, while Doug Peacock will be handipg out some good stiff body checks. Coach Bob Rafferty’ has the players up for to-night’s game; so let’s have a big crowd to cheer our guys on to victory. Yea Joe Brown! The Athletic Department is sponsoring the Second Annual Senior High School Basketball Tournament on November 27 and 28. What has happened to St. Paul’s! Right now they have a perfect record in basketball and hockey-all losses. But they do have a lot of spirit, something which the other units might borrow. Intramural hockey and basketball could use some more players and fans. Coach Dan Pugliese has chosen the Warriors basketball team this year. As well as the experienced veterans from last year, he has added some new talent who showed themselves capable of producing victories. The team consists of the following: Dick Aldridge, Bob Balahura, Don Demko, Paul Fehrenback, Brad Finch, Jim Hunn, Gerry Hodper, Wayne “Ter” Houston, John Ingle, John Knack, John Kuntz, George Neufield, Bob Pando, Terry Plomster, Jerry Rapheal, Bill Steinberg, and Mike Swartzkoph. This week the team begins rigorous practising, and ,next issue will include a big write up. The new Department of Physical and Health to be opened next fall looks really terrific. I would advise everyone and especially graduates who are interested in physical education to take a look at this course. For the first week, the class will go up north for 52 hours of practical training. The regular week to week course gives 20 hours theory and 12 hours practical. Are there any skiers on campus? If so, why not organize!

Basketball season is again upon us. The intramural schedule looks quite exciting and deserves the support of all to come out and support their intramural team. In the first three games, Science, Engineering ahd Renison came up with the victories. Science led by John MacKay edged Arts 19-17 in the first game. ‘Ray Miske’was the big gun for Arts, but the Artsmen committed several fouls because of which they lost the game. *In the second game the Engineers easily defeated St. Paul’s (3) 28-18. Big Al was the star for the Engineers while Dave Sutton attempted to put up a showing for St. Paul’s. In the third game Renison squeaked by St. Paul’s (2) 24-21. Berti& Sliwinski and- Doug Cuthbert paced the Renisonians to victory.‘ Stand-outs’for St. Paul’s were Dave Passmore’ and Roger McLeod.

The search branches from one source to the next, and, by a series of interviews and flashbacks, the reporter and the audience discover the strange details in Kane’s life: his humble urban beginnings, his sudden thrust into a bigger world, his acquisition of millions, two wives and two divorces, success as a newspaperman, defeat as a politician, and throughout all of this-a search for love.

Here, I realized that the suspense had built up to a perfect Hitchcock ending, but, much to my relief, Welles knew better than to let the mysterious word “Rosebud” go unresolved. The camera zooms in on a small sleigh, as it is thrown into’ a huge furnace with all the other junk that Kane had collected during his life. Upon the sleigh, we watch the word “Rosebud” blister and die.

lc'

The plot is hinged upon Kane’s last word “Rosebud”, and the experiences of a reporter who tries to discover the meaning behind this last mysterious utterance.

Finally, the quest leads us to the palace of the deceased, where boxes and boxes of Kane’s old possessions line the vast halls, making a morbid remembrance. The reporter, at this point, has given up and concludes that no man’s life can be summed up in one word.

11 l?

“Citizen Kane” is an inquest into the life story of William Randolph Hearst, founder of the great American newspaper empire. From start to finish, the producer, lead and writer, Orson Welles, surrounds the audience with an atmosphere of desolation, cold, and barren; dreary, but very effective.

-hen asked “In one hundred words or so, tell what the Co-ordniation Department has done for you”, my first impression was that it shouldn’t take 30 long, and if I were to leave the balance of this column blank, that this ould sum th:ngs up fairly well. r However, after several false starts and readjustments, my outlook has I lellowed somewhat and I am prepared to speak more realistically. To the uestion, as directed, I have this to say. I was helped in my search for a job at he beginnnig of my work assignments and am given to understand that I was ?pt in touch throughout these assignments. I met my co-ordinator b&annually )r fifteen minutes in which time it was virtually impossible to strike up a hard rd fast friendship but which did serve to reveal that each knew little of the ‘; ;her and that neither was really too concerned. This is not however, as serious as it might seem, for I feel that while the 1.tuation is not ideal, it is not detrimental to the co-operative pattern as a whole. i To give a more hopeful picture, one might ask instead, “What have Colerative work assignments done for you. 7” The subsequent answers should 1 dveal the true benefit of our system. s It is hoped that our graduates of engineering as a direct derivative of the 1 -0 p erative work assignments will have had substantial exposure to responsiIlity, creativity, and maturity. This type of exposure is the basic function of 18clr system and the Co-ordination Department is the machinery whereby this Civ. En&/64 : carried out. As interviewing subjects were are admittedly quite bad; however, as inter1)iewers, the Co-ordinators leave something to be desired. Leaving the cubicle is synonomous with leaving a hallway, just a plain nothing feeling. From a bredominately lethargic atmosphere to an occasional one of over-zealousness, :essions with our Placement people are most uninspiring. In some respects hese people do not come on very strong, however in others, they are extremely 1 apable. t” When one stops to consider the magnitude of their task-placing each b lgineering student, think of it, all of us windbreakered, slide-rule-at-the-belt 1 pes, in industry, regardless of academic ineptitude, overlooking our personi ity quirks, accepting our complete lack of industrial knowhow and tolerating i. lr over-proportioned ambitions, one begins to appreciate their accomplishi tents to date. The mortality rate among engineering students being what it the Co-ordination Department must find itself playing a very unique role/ idustry-student Diplomatic Council or some such thing. That they have surt, ived so well speaks for itself. Personally I can only say one thing, three cheers \ Mr. Barber and Company. g, The Co-ordination Dept. has successfully arranged jobs for every engin! ring student on campus, and as a rule these jobs are either interesting or I all-paid (occasionally both). If this is the main function of the Co-ordination apartment (and I think it is) then they are doing a first class job. My two .:efs, therefore, are really sort of “nit-pickey.” The co-operative jobs are invariably advertised such that “The student

The reporter had been wrong. The sleigh which Kane had owned as a small boy before he was thrust into his inherited millions, was a symbol of the only real love and happiness he had ever known, and his whole life had been a search for love that his money had denied him. This movie, intended as an obituary to Hearst, could also be a memorial to the genius possessed by Orson Welles in his youth. Marion

FABLE XXVII Some propitiaters of the cinematic art form decided that they had heard enough about “The Bitter Ash”, and thought they would do something on their own. But these pornographers knew that they would have to have a good plot with a great underlying significance to satisfy the critics. They therefore decided upon a plot whereby interested parties for a slight fee could have a guided tour of the first night ceremonies of newlyweds. Needless to say the movie did not get panned in the Coryphaeus.

jim newman reports Last Wednesday at 7 :45 began probably the shortest, quietest meeting .of Student Council members on record. It was also probably the smallest. Of all the regular S.C. representatives on campus, four showed up to discuss the Student Council budget. In the last issue of the Coryphaeus, I indicated that students in general weren’t interested in S.C. activities, now it appears that S.C. isn’t interested either. Actually when you include the President, chairman, and a few others, the total present was about a dozen. This group (approx. .5% of the total student population) authorized the spending of nearly $10.000.00~ for which there are no corresponding credits, in 3/4 hr. Now is anyone interested? It’s surprising that although this money comes from the pockets of students at the University of Waterloo, no one seems to care what Students’ Council does with it. $9.00 from every student every year and no one exercises their rights as to where and on what it is spent. Does anyone

care, for example, about the item; MUSIC-----$1,800.00 No, that’s not the cost of a juke-box for the Engineering common room. It’s money that is to be turned directly over to Mr. H. Bauer, Director of Music, to buy song books and other equipment. Now this figure represents almost $1.00 from every student. Do you mind spending this much for a song book? Maybe you feel that $1,800.00 for music is too much and that perhaps you’d only want to give say; $400.00. That would leave $1,400.00 that could be used having an affair equivalent to Homecoming, only the same crowd could go for free. How about, for example; STUDENT EMERGENCY LOAN FUND-$400.00 No, that’s not for bailing broke drunken students out of jail. It’s to be turned over to the University who may lend it to students who can’t get financial aid elsewhere. Do you think $400.00 is enough? Perhaps $4,000.00 would be better, then ten times as many students could be helped through school. Here’s

another one: STATIONERY, OFFICE SUPPLIES--$l,OOO.OO That’s about $0.50 per student. Doesn’t this seem like a lot for staples, paper clips etc. Included in this amount too, is the cost of a lot of paper used in various reports that students never even see. How about: FURNITURE, OFFICE EQUIP’T---$450.00 No, that’s not for a broadloom carpet in the S.C. president’s office. But it could be. Apparently it’s to be used to purchase filing cabinets. or desks or something of this nature. Well, what do you think, students? Do they need more equipment? Do you want $1,800.00 worth of music? Do you mind spending nearly $lO,OOO.OO to run an organization that you’re not even interested in? If there are people who feel they should have had a say as to the disposition of this money, why didn’t they turn out to a meeting or two and say so? It’stoo late now, the budget has been passed by the Finance Committee so every one had better be satisfied. Don’t complain now; you’re about two weeks too late.

Pete Csanty of the Student Ham Radio Station has entered the Amateur Radio Relay League Sweepstakes, sponsored by QST, an amateur radio magazjne. He is competing against other amateurs for the honors for Canada. The goal of the contest is to contact as many other amateurs in as many other states or provinces within the allotted time, forty hours, as the contestant possibly can.

Very few, if any co-operative jobs are like this. As a result, many students become disChina - Grassware - Gift Shop illusioned in their early work terms. They tend to underestimate the value of their job assignments in particular, or lose faith in Canadian engineering in general.

RESIDEiVCE LIFE:

Two saints and a sinner Friday

RENISON And life goes on at Renison, late on into the wee hours too it seems lately as everyone suddenly remembers that essay, or test, due the next day. But then all work is no fun so it seems as the boys have asked to have their telephone moved from the main hall so they can talk in private to their mothers?! They also seem to get a little upset to have a girl answer their phone with “Hello, Renison College, men’s wing”! On Wednesday evening, Mr. Claude Brodeur (Julius Caesar?) ventured to cross the Rubicon to partake of a meal with that wild tribe better known as the “Renisonians”. But all kidding aside, we really appreciated Mr. Brodeur’s after-dinner speech, both timely and appropriate, on Student Government. Later on in the evening, Principal Rees announced that the new position of Dean of Students was conferred on Rev. J. Horne, our present Chaplain. Do you qualify as a Renison Santa Claus? If you have a red nose, a beard (pref-

erably white), 8 reindeer, a well developed sense of humour with a jolly “Ho, ho” and all that business, and if you are over 5 feet tall with measurements of 40, 40, 40, then you are the man we need to entertain our orphans on Dec. 7. No pay but lots of fun. Finally the girls of Renison College have gained what they have long been seekinga little privacy around curfew time. They seem to have found it a little embarrassing to say good-night to their dates with all the lights in the foyer turned on a,nd the Housemother patrolling the entrance. Now the Housemother emerges at five minutes past the hour (to give the Sinners an extra minute or two) and only one light is in operation to ensure that those coming in won’t trip over the doorstep and enable the girls residing on the top floor to grope their way to the stairs. VIVE L’AMOUR! P.S. NOTE: A very serious omission! Renison’s float “Discrimination” won an “honorable mention” in the Home comini; Parade.

“Walk all around your corner gal and let’s have a grand sashay . . . .” and so went last Friday evening at Notre Dame. In an old-fashioned atmosphere provided bv caller Mr. Ernie Cubitt from *Ottawa, .and the Swing and Whirl group from Kitchener (our thanks to them all for donating their time) several of the girls from Notre Dame and some of the boys from St. Jerome’s spent a most enjoyable night square dancing. The highlight of the evening was an exhibition of some more complicated movements by the Swing and Whirl group and Mr. Cubitt. The credit for the dance goes mostly to the Notre perDame “den mother” -Mrs. Wey-the son who was reallv responsible for obtaining the caller and theYdancing group. And so on behalf of all present, I’d like to dedicate an enormous bouquet of roses to Mrs. Wey. But on to the next event, elections. Yes,

P.S.-about that Chess Tournamentwell, the chessboards are back-right at the back-of the Men’s Common Room--where nobody is. As far as I know the tournament is still in its third round, but nobody around here seems to know anything about it. I dunno, maybe the boys have found that THERE IS MORE LIGHT IN LADIES’ EYES than in the boys’ common room. (Say, maybe that’s why the lights are so low in the girls common room . . . . I mean, if the girls’ eyes are that bright, you don’t need all those big lights on . . . .) Jeff
