The fourth annual Christmas banquet will be held this year on Wednesday 4 December at 6:30 p.m. at Seagram Stadium. The banquet is held for the faculty, staff and students. This year the Circle K Club is sponsoringthe banquet, under the auspices of Students’ Council. The purpose of this banquet is to bring together the members of the university family in a Christmas atmosphere-to enjoy a relaxed evening of excellent food and conviviality. It affords an opportunity for students and professors to mingle informally, without the limitations imposed by classroom and office. In pas years the Christmas banquet has been a showcase for the university’s musical talent: the premiere performance of an original Christmas cantata two years ago, and last year a similarly impressive program. Again this year, music will be the feature of the after-dinner entertainment. The traditional exchange of gifts among faculties and colleges of the university will again take place. The banquet has secured a reputation for serving a spread of foods unsurpassed in quality, quantity and variety-a traditional dinner of Christmas turkey with all the extras, from the very first hors d’oeuvre to the last sip of coffee. Tickets for this function are only $1.75 and are available from all Circle K members, the Bookstore and the Office of Student Affairs. It is not the intention of the banquet organizers to produce a profit-making venturerather, to offer a memorable and gratifying experience to all members of the university. Help ensure that the traditional U of W expression of “Peace on earth, good will towards men” will continue. Attend the Christmas Banquet, 1963.
John F. Kennedy, the 35th and youngest President of the United States of America, was shot and killed in Dallas, Texas at 1:30 (EST), 22 November 1963. The world in stunned disbelief can recall as if only yesterday his inaugural address in which he had said: “And so, my fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you - ask what you can do for your country.” Certainly he paid the supreme sacrifice for his country. Like every other President, John Kennedy knew full well upon takmg the oath of office that he was placing his life in jeopardy. His death the fourth presidential assassination - was felt the world over as “one of the great tragedies of history.” Even Premier Khruschev referred to his passing as “a heavy blow to the cause of peace.” It would be a greater tragedy if the demand for vengeance were permitted to destroy the peace-making efforts of the late John F. Kennedy, President of the United States.
THE PRESIDENT LONG LIVE THE
by TOM RANKIN IS DEAD! PRESIDENT!
Let us remember John F., Kennedy as a great man, a product of the 20th Century ‘who lived and died in the product of the 20th Century who lived and died in the service of his country. His death was useless, but not so his life. Therefore remember his life, not his death, his service to the world, not his funeral and let us hope and pray that someday there will be “peace on earth and goodwill toward man.”
REMEMBER? On 11 November, an editorial by Ken Drushka appearthe U of T paper, which made news ed in the “Varsity,” all over Ontario. This was claimed as anti-Remembrance Day, but I think it was more anti-war. Mr. Drushka “holds nothing against the 500 dead whose names are engraved at the base of the tower” (Soldiers’ Tower commemorating the dead students of U of T) but he cannot honor them as he is asked. He “feels a detached sorrow because they had to waste their lives in such a senseless manner,” and “an even deeper sympathy for the mothers, wives and children of these men” and “nothing but disgust for the institutions and leaders which created a need for this annual ceremony.” To him “it seems grbtesque that the institutions, and even some of the individuals which drove men into being killed should take part in commemorating “Instead we will gain determination every their death.” time we walk under Soldiers’ Tower. With the memory of
those more than 500 names we will try not to be deceived when politicians tell us we must honor our nuclear commitments, when Christians tell us we must carry the trust of Jesus Christ to the battlefields, and when military leaders tell us we must prepare ourselves for another war.” (See the full editorial on the Bulletin Board outside the Coryphaeus office).
of warning. Only praise for ‘the ultimate sacrifice for one’s country.’ “In the far-distant technological past (1939) it was no doubt possible and logical for a few young men to achieve something by making the ultimate sacrifice for one’s country. NO one mentioned that the same action today is assured of producing ‘the ultimate sacrifice’ of one’s own country.’

“As I write this it is Remembrance Day; it seems that Remembrance Day took quite a dressing down from the local intellectuals, and I must admit that I am not entirely unsympathetic to their criticism, though I cannot endorse it completely.

FASS NITE is becoming an annual event, and the highlight of the school year at the University of Waterloo. This night of entertainment is a joint effort by the faculty, administration, students and staff of the university. In order to present FASS NITE as the final event of the Winter Carnival, the producers of show require a number of performers from* all faculties and colleges of the university. If you are interested in performing at FASS NITE by yourself or, preferably, in a group, we are only too happy to know about you. Since the show is essentially one of variety entertainment, any type of performance will be considered. In order to prevent a last-minute rush in program production, the producers are now accepting the names of groups and singles willing to perform. If you are interested, please leave your name, telephone number, type of performance planned, number and names of others (if any) in the group, and your faculty or college affiliation in the student mailbox in an envelope marked FASS before December 10th. FASS NITE will be held on Saturday 1 February 1964 at 8:24 pm. A large technical crew will also be required, and anyone interested ‘in participating in the production of the program is cordially invited to contact the producers through the student mailbox.

news
Thanks to the great numbers of students who turned out for our last meeting, our organization bids fair to become the same potent force on campus as it was last year. Students’ Council is hesitating ‘over approving our budget, reasonable as it is, so our representative will be calling on you next week. We commence our activities this week with a dance on Wednesday, 27 November from 7:00 pm to 2:30 am. We will have Pete Murfrees’ dance band, known to all returning students as one of the best in the K-W area. Costumes are optional. The fact that our float did not win the prize is no reflection on the club. The result is due solely to corruption of the judges, as anyone who saw our masterpiece will agree. We will win next year, even if we have to double any other offer. In closing I say again, all qualiare invited to join; * fied students you know who you are, let us know.

Athletic Apathy by
DAVE
CAIWIPBELL
If you suspect that your intramural hockey or basketball team is somewhat disorganized, you’re quite right (especially if you happen to be in Arts or Science units). Participation this year is good, as students are beginning to take advantage of the facilities for which they pay $14.00 a year, but organization is poor. In fact, the present set-up is, to coin a phrase as non-functional as mammary glands on the male of the bovine species. The athletic administration blames the students for the mess. A little is working hard at probing, however, reveals that while the administration establishing a good program, their efforts are not being pursued to their and thus fall short of efficiency. logical conclusions, Let’s
look
at what
was expected,
and what
resulted.
An athletic representative was to be chosen for each intramural unit. He was to co-ordintae the formation of teams, and to hand in a list of teams already made up of students in alphabetical order. Well, Arts and Science never did elect reps, and handed in lists of names without breaking them down into teams. Pat Galasso assigned such a list only one team. The result is a Science basketball team with thirty-five potential players, an Arts hockey team with thirty on the roster, and several other teams with unwieldy numbers. This is making a mess of intramural athletics. The administration holds the following viewpoints, for which I provide corrections: Every means of announcement was used to get the units to elect This is not reps (eg-notices, student council meetings, the Coryphaeus). going far enough. When this did not get results Mr. Galasso should have contacted Student Council reps by telephone prodding them to action. 2. When disorganized lists of names were submitted they were all put on one team. Mr. Galasso did not organize teams himself because he hoped that the offenders would smarten up when they saw that their negligence was getting them balled up. NO! A fiasco only discourages people from further participation. The whole athletic program gets balled up when the participants get balled up. Pat should not allow this unintentional carelessness to spoil a potentially good program. He should have taken it upon himself to alleviate some of the confusion by making up the teams himself. 3. The administration can’t force athletics on the students. The administration can’t force participation on the students, but it must force for hockey and basketball organization on them. The large registration shows that enthusiasm is present; it is merely direction that is lacking. 4.

Eventually, yes. But in its beginning stages, the students have no precedent to follow and have trouble getting organized. Direction should be given by the administration. Once a list of participants is submitted, Mr. Galasso should make up the teams, and require that each elects a coach. The responsibility for organization of the team and full participation by its members will then be taken over by the coach. Once such a program is established, it will run itself. Until then, the athletic administration should work overtime. It will find its extra effort resulting in a workable, smooth-running program, allowing an easier task in the future.

The UNIVERSITY of WATERLOO WARRIORS shaded QUEEN’S UNIVERSITY 5-4 in a surprise hockey game at Kingston last weekend. The WARRIORS were scheduled to .play Clarkson College in Pottersdam NEW YORK on the weekend. However, on learning of the assassination of the President, the team phoned ahead to Clarkson College from Gananoque and discovered that the game had been cancelled. Not giving up hope, the team phoned Kingston and fortunately arranged a game with the Queen’s squad for the early evening. The game consisted of three full time periods, but with no rest between periods.
The two teams went out and battled for sixty minutes and when the battleground had been cleared, our team had emerged with a triumph, (NOT A TR3). Scoring for for the Warriors were Don Mervyn, Jerry Lawless, Gary Deighton, Tom Searth and Dave Passmore. Tallying for the losers were Larry Windover, Rebel Weston, &Murray Mitchell and John Van Brunt. The WARRIORS have come out with a tremendous showing this year. In their first two encounters, they have not lost a game. This proves that greater things are to come and this TEAM deserves every students support at all home games and all away games if possible.
VICTORY SPLASH The U of W Rowing Club will hold a meeting to-night, 5 pm, in room P-145. Films will be shown of the training of Canada’s 1960 Olympit crew. This is a great film and rowing is a great sport. Please try to attend. This meeting is to start a strong rowing club for next year. This
year we entered one classification with four novices and won. Next year we will enter all four classifications and still win . . . But to do this we need your help. We need oarsmen and coxswains and lightweights. So if you are just a little man, don’t feel bad we need you.
Last Thursday evening, the University of Waterloo Warriors played their first game of the year against O.A.V.C. Redmen and came out with a 4-4 tie. Don Mervyn opened the scoring at 17:35 of the first period with an assist from Stan Sharman to put the Warriors ahead 1-O. Fifty-seven seconds later the Redmen tied it up with a goal by Bob Sheffield although the Redmen were playing with one man short. In the second period O.A.V.C. hit hard and fast with Glen Slater making it 2-l at the 2: 18 mark. The Redmen continued to outskate the Warriors and with their accurate passes were continually taking pot shots at goalie Mike Durnan. Finally they tallied again at the 14:40 mark when Perry Clarke slipped one in off Mike’s pads. At this point the Warriors caught fire and began skating and hitting the Redmen. Their reward was soon to come when Stan Sharman netted one at the 18:16 mark. In the third period, the Warriors vastly outplayed the Redmen. Stan Sharman got his second goal of the night at 4:32 to tie up the game. O.A.V.C. scored again at 6:35 by Ron MacEackern to take the lead 4-3. The Warriors battled to get the equalizer and finally tied the game at 16:39 with a goal by John McLean. Water, 30 pressed on, but were unable to get that winning goal in the remaining rlinutes of play. Stan Sharman was the individual star of the game netting two goals and receiving one assist. His line with team mates Don Mervyn and Terry Cooke accounted for three of the Warriors four goals. The most Hustling line of the Warriors was that of Dave Passmore, Cam Brewer and Gary Lehman. Although they did not score any goals, they kept the Redmen offbalance and peppered shots at the O.A.V.C. goalie. Doug Peacock played a sturdy game on defense and ‘dished out some good checks. Mike Durnan played the first two periods in the nets and Ric Smith who made some sensational stops played the third period. The Warriors outshot the Redmen 35-24. It must be remembered that this was an exhibition game and Coach Rafferty wanted to and did test all lines equally. He carried twenty-one players on Thursday night and will be cutting it down before the season starts. Coach Rafferty has some good hopes for the team this year and from the appearances of them in their first two games this year, THEY ARE JUSTIFIED.
Doug Getty of Science after a long and weathery schedule finally came out on top and won the Intramural Tennis Championship. He defeated Brian Wheeler, an engineer, 4-6, 6-4, 6-1, in the final which took place last week. The tournament was the largest in the history of the competition, with 56 competitors, Renison entered the greatest number with 22; St. Paul’s had 20 entries; St. Jerome’s had 6, Engineers 4 and Arts and Science had two each. Counting on Fryer points, St. Paul’s won the competition scoring with 6+,, points; Engineering was second with 42%; Renison third with 33; Science was fourth with
HOCKEY Intramural Hockey continued afthe Varsity game last Thursday. Jerome’s and Science easily handRenison and St. Paul’s to come with victories. In the first game, St. Jerome’s beat Renison 7-3. Jerry McKinnon scored a hat trick for St. J’s and Moe Vezina added two more. Singles were counted by Jim Ridley, Ernie Levesque. Marksmen for Renison were Paul Strong, Ron Roy, and Bill Lindsay. The entire St. Jerome’s team played a fine game and it was impossible to pick individual stars. Bill Lindsay and Dave Durban were outstanding for Renison and proter St. led up

bably the best players on the ice. Bernie Sluvinski playing his first intramural game in goal gave a stand down effort and even stopped the ocasional shot. Renison had a large cheering section to view the game and while their cheers were to no avail, everyone enjoyed himself. In the second game, Science outskated and outshot St. Paul’s to take, a 5-l victory. Ross McKenzie in goal for St. Paul’s made several incredible saves to keep his team in the game for a while, but could do little without an adequate defense or forward ‘line. Randi Levi and Graham Squirrel scored two goals each for Science and Warren Ferguson added the fifth. The lone marksman for St. Paul’s was Don Hagey. “Coach” Wally of Science predicted a great many victories for Science this season.

Engineering won 12, Renison 11, Science 9, St. Jerome’s 5, and Arts 2. Doug Getty and Brian Wheeler advanced to the finals only after defeating stiff competition. In the semi-finals Doug put our Bob Mason and Brian put Tom Allen out of the running. It is hoped that the great interest shown in the tennis will be carried over to other events which take place in the intramural events after Christmas, some of these postChristmas events are bowling, table tennis, volley ball and badminton.

Congratulations goes out to St. Paul’s who won the intramural Tennis tournament with an overwhelming majority of points. I guess that is 20 steak dinners for the fellows up there. Coach Al Singleton of the O.A.V.C. Redmen had a kindly invite for all the Engineers who had jeered them on to a tie, to come over to Guelph when the Warriors go to Guelph to play hockey. Although Renison lost on Thursday night, they sure had a great group of fans to cheer them on. Why don’t YOU come out to these intramural sports events.

In the first game St. Jerome’s slaughtered St. Paul’s 5 48 to 9. The score indicated the play as St. Jerome’s passed the ball with ease around the St. Paul’s players. St. Jerome’s rebounded at both baskets in their crushing victory. The outstanding players for the victors were Jim Ridley and Martin Merlihan. Dave Anderson and Rod Barr were tops for the losers. The second game was a close, hard fought battle and resulted in St. Paul’s 7 defeating the Artsmen by a score of 23 to 18. First one team was ahead then the other forged ahead, making the game very exciting to watch. Terry Stesco and Dave Sutton starred for the winners. The losers top two players were Peter Lewis and Jim Schultz. Both sides in the last game played very scrambly. The final score was Science 17 and St, Paul’s 6 11. The most outstanding player (if there was one), was Alf Dyck for Science. Dave Passmore and Roger McLeod played an equally mediocre game for St. Paul’s.

NOVEMBER EXHIBITION by P. CULP Works by Theresa L. Cosgrove and James Gordaneer constitute the November exhibition in the Theatre of the Arts Gallery. There are fourteen oils in this exhibition by T. Cosgrove. Of these several are, predominately dark, muddy looking “texture” paintings. The others, sist of lightislh, muted blobs of with one or two exceptions, concolour, which would seem to be an insult to the viewer’s concept Fourteen pen-and-ink of “art.” drawings form the better half of woman’s contribution. this These drawings are finely and delicately executed but why fourteen of them, with a minimum of variation on the same subject matter? T. Cosgrove studied at Doon and has received the A.O.C.A. degree for the Ontario College of Art. Her works have appeared in various exhibitions in Ontario cities and she has had two one-man shows in Toronto.
Mr. James Gordaneer produced all of the paintings and drawings for this show in Greece. His studio was located in Athens and he travelled about Greece placing his impression on paper and canvas. There are precisely three small, representational type drawings in which the average viewer would be able to see Mr. Gordaneer’s talent displayed quite effectively. It is fortunate that these were included in the exhibition.

by DAVE CLARK Last Saturday evening, the Theatre of the Arts was host to two more University of Toronto musicians. Peter Acker and Valerie Siren gave the audience a delightfully novel concert of singing that ranged in time from the 15th century to the present. Peter Acker, guitarist, played a set of four works to begin the programme. His technique and general skill are best described Admittedly clasas promising. sical guitar is very difficult to play, and Mr. Acker seemed fairly agile with his fingering; nevertheless, his control at volume and tone was poor and sometimes even haphazard. This was noticeable during the Villa Charo. Suprisingly Lobos enough, Mr. Acker commanded the rhythms of the medium difficult Villa Lobos work fairly well, however during both of

The club features dances from Russia, Poland, North America, Isreal, Scotland, Scandanavia, etc. In teaching these dances, Mr. Kravitz tries to retain their natural characteristics by explaining the origin of the dances and the culture of their native countries. For example, a dance from the Balkas area is usually flat-footed with little jumping, because the dancing usually took place in low buildings with thick beams, thus hazardous for jumping. Folk dancing has none of the social problems other activities have. The participant is absorb-
ed into the mechanism of the dance group and is measured, not by his popularity, but by his consideration, tact and tolerance of the mistakes of others in their steps. Ethnic communities recognize these values and retain folk dancing in their own “landsmanschaft.” An exposure to folkdancing also develops a better appreciation for the art of dancing. The International Folk Dance Club provides the opportunity for gaining these benefits. Anyone interested may join the group in their regular dance time, Thursday 12-2 in the theatre workshop and Thursday 7-9 in St. Jerome’s common room. l
it has played to packed houses and received rave reviews from all critics (even Nathan Cohen, Toronto Daily Star).
The group presents dances of the various Mexican regions which feature all the varied cultures of Mexico dating back many centuries (that’ sure was a wild country).
This is an once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for those who enjoy spectacular entertainment.

tongues was very impressive. Before intermission we were struck with Miss Siren’s clouded expression, thinking how well she adapted herself to the mood of her songs. Unfortunately we learned after intermission that she was just exhibiting a lack of stage sophistication, for she frowned her way through the happiest number. Even the head of our philosophy department couldn’t dispel her gloom with his loud and annoying remarks. But then, who wants to smile for someone who interrupts your performance by charging noisily down to the front row 20 minutes after the show has started, and settling loudly, with all the accompanying ruckus, into their seat?

From her first note, Miss Siren showed us a carefully adept singing technique that suited her programme perfectly. The similarity in voice tone between Miss Siren’s and Lois Marshall’s, of several years ago was very striking. Her voice has that beautifully sad quality to it that is so suitable to the early song repertoire. As the Fine Arts editor would say, her voice is a medium blue with just a touch of green. After intermission, the duo played a group of “Folk songs of many nations” to quote the programme. This set included works from eastern Europe to French Canada, and Miss Siren’s diction in these foreign

Some of the oils by both artists would seem to be good examples of a prevailing trend namely, to dupe the public into believing that their own impression of a work of art is not the criterion by which it not the criterion by which it should be judged, but rather by some “higher” standard. Due to the very nature of the word “art” and its application and implication, the interprelation is highly individualistic. Thus, an “artist” is free to exploit this to the extent that the area, viewer accepts a self-depricatory attitude. e
FOLK DANCE CLUB “Folk dancing is like a drug once you get involved,” says Marty Kravitz, organizer and teacher of the Folkdancing Club. “Once a person takes it up, he never loses this feeling for it.” This statement holds true on our campus, for the attendance at the International Folk Dance is increasing every week. This club, started last year has taken part in the United Nations Ball and the Y.W.C.A. Week of International Prayer performances, and again, this year will take .part in the F.A.S.S. production.

This and the incorporation of the students’ council would tend to make the students more responsible for their actions to their superiors and to themselves. He also advocated that students should sit on the board of governors. On the topic of bookstores a present problem on campus - Mr. Goodings called the statement that

In this way CUS reps can give a true opinion of the student body and CUS in turn can be the voice of Canadian students. Our thanks is extended to CUS in general, and to Gail Rappolt in particular, for a very interesting and informative evening.
by JOHN MacDONALD Do you remember ever going to an art gallery when you were young and seeing a picture of a lady with nothing on? Rather lewd, wasn’t it? Well, actually you v: ‘a wrong that was art. But just try and let that same dolly drop her drawers in front of a movie camera and all of sudden it becomes obscene. Apparently there is some great difference between celluloid out of a can and some paint out of a tube. A verbal picture of the same situation sometimes gets by and sometimes doesn’t a lot depends on who the author is and how well he can use Roget’s Thesaurus. In magazines you can only go so far unless you happen to be a sunworshipper then apparently your mind and body are so cleansed by ultra+iolet rays that a woman draped erotically over a rock can do your mind no harm. However there is some touch up ‘work required in the dark room. No doubt while this nasty business goes on inside, there is a sign on the door which says “Admittance restricted to impotent people only,” or perhaps “When red light is shining, reactor is critical.” How would you like to have a job where you get first peek at the more interesting things that Canada imports and I’m not refering to hippos? The cost is nominal two dollars to Toronto and return and three dollars and twentyfive cents for tickets. If you are the Spanish Marty Kravitz fore December vation. l

Chances are that if you can read this you are about as qualified for the job as the people who have then now. To get the job, drooling over paper, I don’t think you require much more than a grade ten education and perhaps a prudish mind. I am of course talking about every traveller’s friend and buddy, the customs inspector. I am sure that if you diligently look into people’s bags and rip down pinup calendars for a couple of years they would be happy to have you pass your opinion on Henry Miller’s works. Just one hint - don’t let them know that you’ve read anything besides Dick and Jane. These learned chaps are the ones that say whether a piece of literature is a great enough work of art to overlook the obscenity therein. Apparently one has to take into acount whether the alleged bit of smut is necessary all I can say is that when smut becomes unnecessary, so will life! Care for a job on the flicks where the flesh jiggles? Well there is a bit of a catch here because you are suposed to have been a projectionist for nine years - for what reason I can’t quite fathom. And of course to judge art, you don’t need any qualifications. Last year in Toronto, there was an exhibition at one of the private galleries which included a series of phallic symbols. It was amusing to note how many people weren’t at all sure what they were. Even if you don’t feel cut out for an official job, go through life censoring things. With a little imagination you can find great sexual stimulus in bus posters. Just don’t tell anyone about it. ship open University aims.
I. S. A. The term ‘foreign student’ is usually associated only with African students. This is a misconception; for, of the approximately 75 foreign students studying at the University of Waterloo, only 12 come from Africa. Fifteen students come from India, five from China and the others come from such countries as England, Taiwan, Pakistan, United States, Australia, etc. Most of them come from cultures and climates completely different from our own. The International Students Association of the U. of W. has done a great deal to help these students adjust to their new surroundings. Its main propose, as stated in its constitution, is to promote the welfare and interests of the International Students, and to serve as a means Canadian for and International students to learn about eaeh other’s and customs. cultures Organized last February, under the direction of foreign student advisor, C. Brodeur, the I.S.A. has left its member-

In welcoming foreign students to this campus the I.S.A. has been active and helpful. The association is connected with F .R.O .S. (Friendly Relaitons with Overseas Students) an organization that meets the foreign students at the Canadian customs and directs them to their chosen campus. In co-operation with W.U.S., the association collected funds to help over-seas students from poorer countries. A reception held on October 4th at Dr. Hagey’s home and sponsored by I.S.A. welcomed the students to the U. of W. Further receptions are planned for January 15th and February 12th. The I.S.A. also sponsored the United Nations week, October 2 l-25. But, as Toks Oshino, president of I.S.A. says, participation in the Association is not encouraging. The enthusiasm of last year is missing this year. Foreign students and Canadian students seem not to realize the opportunities for learning and enjoyment open to them through this association. l l

confidence and support of this office. I hold no personal preference for any of the dates in question. My only concern is that the best possible event should be planned and organized after detailed consideration has been accorded to all factors. The individual desires of the students involved are but one, and ‘by no means the most important of these factors. Organizational efficiency and practicality must be a prime consideration in any event of this sort. If the problems of organization can be co-ordinated with the desires of the students, this committee’s decision will be obvious. If such a co-ordination cannot be achieved, then the commtitee must not be blackmailed into accepting an untenable position by the stubborn attitude of persons ignorant of the full state of consequences and problems. A plebescite, such as the one conducted by this committee is merely an attempt to obtain popular it is not a mandate to opinion the particular committee involved. As such, it must definitely be strongly considered by the committee, not necessarily accepted by them. ’ I am sure that, whatever decision is taken, the reaction of the students will be varied. It will, indeed, prove interesting to myself to see whether “graduation” is coincidental with “maturtiy” and whether a University of Waterolo exists over and above an Arts Faculty, an Engineering Faculty, or a Science Faculty. J. D. Kraemer, President, Students’ Council.

DEAR SIR: For the past weeks your paper has been running letters, editorials, articles, and various other forms of literary nonsense (for which I am partially to blame) about the students’ council. But Mr. Taylor’s letter of self pity is just about the final straw. I may very well be an incompetent, stupid nincompoop, but at least I am not playing around with forty thousand dollars. Mr. Taylor, and he is not the only one around here; may have read about it, but I wonder if he has ever noticed for himself that grass is usually green. Although I know it is hoping for too much, I wonder if he might notice that what should be grass around the University of Waterloo is mainly a brown substance called mud. If he would come down from his pinnacle of self glorification and stop for a second to watch the girls in their tight skirts trying to navigate through this mess I think even he might be amused. So Mr. Taylor, -make with a little effort sometime and trr gisyle it’s not as hard as John MacDonald.
Whose
fault?
DEAR SIR: For the past six weeks Students’ Council and its various committees and organizations have been severly zriticized in the Coryphaeus through editorials, columns and letters to the editor, and also in general conversation of the student body. The Council and its members have been :hastized for lack of communication, :riticized for their haphazard meetngs, called the biggest Apathy Club In campus and accused of not being *epresentative of the individual facllties, clubs, and organizations. This week, Mr.. Roy Masters calls the :ouncil members in general a bunch If incompetent clowns. I am not denying that these criti:isms are justified. In general they u-e all true. But let us look at the ‘acts. Students’ Council is composed If an elected president and vicejresident along with elected repreentatives of the faculties and coleges. Also included in Council are appointed non-voting members (secetary, treasurer CUS chairman’ ‘ublications chairman etc.) These beople are charged with the duty of [rafting a constitution, administratng a $44,000.00 budget, and repreenting the student body to the
Cont’d. University Board of Govenors. Last spring and this fall when nominations were called for the positions to councils and societies the following were the results: (1) , Two nominations were submitted for president of Students’ Council. One candidate was in Arts I and the other in’ Arts III. One candidate did not bother to conduct a campaign. (2) One nomination was submitted for vice-president of Students’ Council; thereby filling the job by acclamation. Mr. Swartz was elected by the ten people who signed his nomination slip. (3) All Science representatives (except 1st year) were elected by acclamation. (4) All Arts representatives (including S.C. reps.) were elected by acclamation. Also last spring it was attempted to fill the appointed position in student government. This is what happened: (1) Approximately 50% of the positions were left vacant for lack of applicants. For those positions filled only one applicant was received for each. (2) An ad in the Coryphaeus requesting applications for ‘Publications chairman, secretary, business manager, Coryphaeus editor, Compendium editor, Handbook and Directory editor drew one application. Unfortunately the applicant failed his year. In the last Students’ Council general election only 55.8% of the student population voted. This is the situation. Now people are beginning to realize that something is wrong. “Who are these clowns that are spending money?” “Why cannot the clubs on campus receive more financial support?” “Why did the Science reps vote for a February 21st Grad Ball without first consulting each science student?” We can conclude from these comments that we have not the right people for the job. This may be so. The members of council for the most part are not competent administrators, bookkeepers, treasurers, parliamentarians, or law makers. But they were the only ones willing to accept these positions of responsibility. As a result we have what is generally thought of around campus as/ a second-rate student government. But what of its achievements? First we have a Student Centre. Not very elegant but much superior to the corner of the cafeteria that was occupied 18 months ago. Secondly we have an Administrative Assistant of Student Affairs. Here is a member of the administation that any student can approach directly. Thirdly we have a Health Centre with a full-time nurse and soon a part-time doctor. Along with this is an improved Health Insurance plan. Also we have a secretarial staff to assist clubs and organizations in clerical and service work. So far we have only received negative criticism. No one has offered any positive advice or suggestions for improvement. No one has offered their services to alleviate this situation. Anyone can criticize destructively. What we need is constructive criticism. How about it? MURRAY FRENCH, Member, Student Council.

DEAR SIR: I am writing this not to complain of major chronic problems such as parking, the ever-present mud or that institution dedicated to inflation, the Bookstore. No, it is a small thing which mainly concerns those who have to cross the footbridge over the creek separating the residences from the campus proper. I refer of course to those wicked steel pipes which protrude so obscenely from the centre of the path at each end of the bridge. Now I realize that they are there for a very commendable purpose 1 to prevent cars from crossing the bridge and buzzing

around on the footpaths, violating the contemplative atmosphere of the residents. This is good, but what fiend placed these posts so that they can easily be overlooked and forgotten but also so that they can certainly make their presence felt should one walk into one of them? I give you a hypothetical but not impossible situation. You are strolling over from residence to attend a lecture in the Arts building for example. You are approaching the bridge when you see this cute chick whom you’ve been wanting to meet, just crossing the bridge and coming toward you. Then, just as you catch her eye WHUMP over you go, impaled on that murderous pipe. Your irreplaceable lecture notes scatter to the winds on one side, those expensive Bookstore textbooks hit the drink on the other and you hit the planks in a beautiful nose dive. She is doubled over with laughter and you are doubled over too but it ain’t from laughter, brother. If this happened already perhaps you can see that its going to happen someday, somehow, to some poor clod and it may and probably will destroy him completely. The only answer, it seems to me, is longer pipes with some padding around them and maybe even a bright red lights (which would be turned of at night of course). An even better idea might be to remove the pipes and instead place a dynamite charge, which could only be set off by the weight of a car under the path. Any lunatic who really wants to roar around on these hallowed grounds would surely be discouraged after being lifted in the air, car and all, ‘and being set down again just as violently. Naturally this would be a trifle noisy for the first few days but it would demonstrate that we mean business. Surely with all the Engineers and Science students around (Arts men would only suggest something ridiculous such as a sign showing twittering birds and bouquets of flowers and an appeal to the driver’s aesthetic values), a suitable measure could be devised. by DOUG LARSEN (ENG. I.)
Grad
Ball
fiasco
DEAR SIR: Even if nothing else has come out of the Grad Ball fiasco, I hope that it made a’ few students think about Student’s Council in general. The whole affair points out what happens when students show little interest in the present issues or in the actions of their representatives. Students , must show. more concern in an issue when it is first presented and even more concern during the election of their representatives. If they were to do this, perhaps the “reps” would more seriously consider the opinion of the students. As we found out, it is too late to show interest or opposition once an issue has been decided upon by the Student’s Council,” even if this has been done without the knowledge of most students. At this point neither petitions, plebescites nor the opinions of the students matter. INESE AKMENS, Science III

EDITORIAL
A Bastard
Off-shoot
by GEORGE WELSH There is no place in Canada for French-Canadians or English-Canadians, or German-Canadians and so forth. “FrenchCanadian” is a contradiction in terms. It is an historical appellation which, unfortunately, has endured for too many years to no purpose other than causing one of Canada’s major internal political problems. We find the term “French-Canadian” to be both stupid and undesirable: stupid because it is a contradiction; and undesirable because its very existence is a defiance, a blatant refusal of the concept of a united people. Tradition is a fine thing when viewed in its proper perspective. Everyone is pround of his heritage. But when tradition and heritage begin to interfere with loyalty to one’s country then that tradition and that heritage must be negated. What an unfortunate paradox. “Biculturalism” is another term which is widely discussed these days. We suppose it to mean a synthesis of two cultures, “French” and “English” in hope of achieving something indigenously Canadian. What a stubborn stupid people we are to believe in an “indigenously Canadian” culture. And the French-Canadians are the most stupid of all when they claim protection of culture .as a reason for political and economic independence. What are they attempting to protect; their language a bastard off-shoot of French, their church - it can take care of itself very well, their pea soup, their wood carving? When will we realize, especially the “French-Canadians,” that Canada’s culture is a carbon copy of the US. Those of you who disagree are manifesting a rather stupid and ineffectual form of national pride. It is good to have a heritage, a history which can be remembered with pride. French Canada had such a history - she had her hour, she established herself and shone in her achievement but that was over two hundred years ago. Now we are supposedly a single nation - one people. Now we should look forward. There is no place for narrow nationalism and divided loyalty. Everyone should remember the past and his heritage but no one, no group should use heritage as a political wedge ot split unity, no group should use its heritage as a crutch to aid and uphold political movements which seek to divide a country which has given it so much. The winds of change ‘have been blowing in Canada since 1763 and of this the “French-Canadians” have been fully cognizant. They have had time to1 adjust. Their obdurate pride in their heritage is sadly misplaced in the twentieth century and only when they cease to use “heritage” as a political bulwark can we hope to move forward as one people. would refuse to furnish fuel for the consuming flames of hatred.” To Maggie Grant re: Article in Globe and Mail, 16 November. What a stupid and mean article! I once read a wonderful article in “Saturday Evening Post:” “Why elevate jerks?” Well, it is exactly what you did in -printing this piece of junk. If these students from Waterloo represent the future citizens of our Country, it is pitiful. Before you undertake to write a bilingual column, Miss Grant, I would suggest that you learn French. Most. of the French words were mispelled in your column. Anyone who still writes: “le maison,” should go back to school. My six-year nephew could teach you. (To quote the article), for no reason at all. You are the only ones who think so, believe me, and it is not “notre fault” (the word 50s” is plural). People like you confuse a sense of humour with cruelty. Consider yourselves more dangerous than the F.L.Q., because you really are. I feel sorry for you. Mrs. L. Williams, Toronto. P.S.-I am not trying to reform you, but I thought this clipping might make you think. You need it.

No. 12 William Zorch was a fella who modelled jackets for the Glossy mags; however his name was a handicap, so he set out to change if. This effort didn’t sit well with the folks at city-hall so they referred him to the University Student Council, for judgement. This was primarily to get Zorch out of their hair, but they also reasoned that the University would have some experience in such mundane practises. The Arts students there were good at calling people names some were even printable. As a result Zorch became a well known nonentity with the name that is so famous that no one need mention it.

Need anything more be said? It seems that several ex-Renisonians missed Bullwinkle so much that they kidnapped him-to ‘St. Paul’s, Now the picture is so firmly affixed to the wall that only a dynamite blast could shake it loose.

The other night, while vainly trying to study in the dining hall, an unusual sight utterly ruined my concentration. It’s not uncommon to see girls in their housecoats -and in their own dorm-but when you look up from your books to see a tall, and obviously male form padding (in a red flannelette .nightgown) over ‘to the water cooler, it’s apt to ruin the esoteric. effect of poetry. Not that I have anything against nightgowns-red, flannelette, or otherwise-BUT! * * * Eight courageous Renisonians (seven boys and one girl) after braving the sandstorms of Lawrence of Arabia, fought their way, camel-less and on foot, through the , wind and rain to set a record for the 4% -mile trek. 50 minutes. * * *

February
Student’s C_ouncil held a special meeting last Wednesday to break a date deadlock in the Grad Ball committee. After hearing the pros and cons for both dates, 21 February 1964 was set as the ofl..al date . It was not the engineering bloc on Council that carried the vote; for of the-eleven Council votes, only four were engineering, and of these four there was one abstention. It might be noted that other Council members proxied their votes to seniors. The Editor of the Coryphaeus reflected student opinion in his 21 November editorial where he stated, “This committee genuinely believed they had chosen the most popular date to hold the Grad Ball”. At’no time did this committee assert that the date would be popular but that it would be a practical one, for in planning an event of this scope, a committee has to be practical. The committee is in complete agreement with most students that May. would be the esthetic time for a Grad Ball, but in May, we would not be considering all the students. There’ are some
seniors who for reasons of job location, lack of requirements, or planned vacations will not be here in May. There are also those who are still old-fashioned enough to want to entertain their Convocation guests and these people had to be considered. Other major reasons for promoting the February date were student economy and committee co-ordination. Regarding student economy there are two points: First, in May, overnight accommodation is required; and second, in February, the committee can look after the men’s formal concession at a considerable saving to the student. There are many points to consider regarding committee co-ordinationthe major being that for a May event the committee would have to meet in the interim period between exams and convocation. This is far from being practical even to the point of creating additional expenses. It is the hope of this committee that the graduation class will lay inter-faculty suspicions aside and unite to have an unrivaled Grad Ball.
