(CUP) ‘- Soaring enrolment figures in Canadian universities this year provided a new cause for distress to university officials who must plan for an increased demand for higher education in the future. ’ The number of students at Canadian institutions this year will exceed predicted enrolments by more than 6,000 students. Universities expected that some 149,000 students would register for classes; instead, it is now estimated that more than 155,000 have joined the quest for higher learning. In terms of the individual campus, administrative planning problems have swelled in proportion to increased student enrolment. Long-term planning must be reassessed as a result of this year’s experience.

Don’t you pity those people who have to come up with Xmas messages which, in the advertising game, are called grabbers?

You feel you should transfer your account in order to thank the bank for combining Christmas and advertising so tastefully.

And so we come to my message for Christmas. Now .as I look out over this campus reposing from the! labours of the waning semester, and contemplate the journey home, home which I haven’t seen since last weekend, home where I no longer have a place to sleep because my sister has taken over my room, home to the bosom of my family to trim the tree and partake of repasts, home to the fireside and mother, I think to myself, why did father have to run out on us just before Christmas? Well good people, a very Merry Christmas and a bright, full New Year.

jim newman. reports Dear

Santa Claus: I know you’re a busy man these days, but would you please give to these members of Students’ Council the following gifts. Not all members are mentioned here, but if you think of appropriate gifts, I know they will appreciate them. Whatever you do though, don’t drop in on Jim Kraemer the S.C. President. He doesn’t need another gift. He got a hundred dollars last week! To the Secretary of Students Council, D. Marci, give three cheers. She put forth an outstanding effort in looking after the vast amounts of paper work that S.C. builds up. The Treasurer, Leo Johnston, has also done an excellent job., Keeping track of the large amount of money S.C. has is a mighty big order. Let him start off the New Year with a brand new cheque book. a+, George Newtou, Engineering fB’ Society, has the habit of finishing every statement he makes by looking. down at the. table. As a result,, only a few catch his final words. Please bring him a chin rest so , that this situation might, be eliminated. .1 I Eric Taylor, also an Engineering ‘B’ representative, is in dire need of a filing cabinet. At the last Students’ Council meeting, a discussion of the S.C. report on Charity Policy came up. In helpless frustration Eric fumbled through the heap’ of paper in front of him ‘trying to find the report. About half way through the discussion a big smile of satisfaction spread across his face. He had found it. Unfortunately, about two minutes later his attention was diverted and sure enough the report disappeared again. More frantic searching. But alas it was in vain for when he found it the discussion was over. The look of disappointment on his face was heart breaking. -Please, Santa, help him out. Dave Smith, speaker of the Council, is another one you should visit. Please give him either a bigger gavel or a bigger voice. Frankly, when everyone else is yapping, neither his present gavel nor voice is sufficiently loud to be heard very well. Gerald, Parker, St. Jerome’s College Society President, is one that. you must definitely drop in on. With that bright red beard, that thick English accent, and that knack of becoming ‘extremely dynamic in his speech making, he presents a pretty fearsome sight at times. You can almost see the flames spurting from his nostrils when he gets riled up. For the safety of the other council members, please give him a muzzle. Marta Tomins, also of St. Jeromes College, desperately needs a towel for future Students’ Council meetings. Something she has not been able to cope with till now is an earful of spit everytime Gerald Parker cuts loose. Of course a small sponge might be a little more convenient. Give Dave Monk of the Science Society, a phonograph record of “God Save the Queen,” I’m sure he would appreciate it. Also if you get a chance, call on Richard Van Veldhuisen, out-term Engineering rep. Give him a piece of your mind. He should know that Santa doesn’t give presents to little boys that use naughty language. - Even when talking to an Arts student about the Grad. Ball.

Cory goes Vancouver Two members of the Board of Publications will represent The Coryphaeus in Vancouver over the Christmas Holidays. The occasion is the annual Canadian University Press National Conference. Murray French, chairman of the Board of Pubs., and Dave Clark, editor of the Coryphaeus are the two representatives.

And please Santa, to each and every member of Students’ Council, give my sincere wishes for a most happy Christmas and a successful new year.

The conference begins on 26 December with an afternoon tour of the host’s campus, the University of British Columbia. The first business session begins that evening and continues daily until 29 December. The conference moves to Victoria for the sessions on 28 and 29 December. Highlight of the four day gathering will be the presentation of awards for the national competitions. This year, The Coryphaeus is cdmpeting against the other Canadian universities in six events, the maximum number. Of these six, the Jacques Bureau Trophy is most prized since it is awarded for general excellence. The other prizes are awarded for feature writing, editorial excellence, sports coverage, editorial cartoons: and news photography.

CHRISTMAS BANQUET ‘63

FOLK WEEKEND STARTS, FESTIVAL DO NOT READ THIS ARTICLE IF YOU don’t like the Travellers, hootenanies, ,and, in general, one helluva good time. And that is exactly what you’re in for the first weekend of our own unique WINTER FESTIVALm I won’t give the details of the various activities planned for this fantabulous weekend such as a lecture Thursday evening given by the renowned Canadian folklorist, Edith Fowke, and illustrated by Alan Mills; and a concert in the Theatre of the Arts on Friday by Canada’s own home-bred Travellers. Why bother about detailing the workshops concerning both musical and instrumental fields held on Saturday and headed by such people as Sid Dolgay, Edith Fowke, Alan Mills, Kenneth Peacock and others? And why bother telling you about Saturday night’s Hootennny, the biggest and best that U of W has ever seen? Rather, I’ll give you the word: like man, it’s endsville. That weekend, January 23x-d to 25th, promises to be about the biggest and best entertainment ever. So start catching up on your essays and assignments and start building up your kitty.

The Hoot on Saturday, 25 January will not only present the talent we have produced, but will be open to anyone who is capable and willing to perform. All in all, this weekend will not only be for your entertainment and participation, but for your education. So fellas and gals, get ready, because these three days of fun arc for Come on out, join in, and help US to make this a weekend to remember.

Grad BaII Now that the dust has settled, the fog has cleared and people are talking to each other again (we hope) the preparations for Grad Ball are progressing rapidly. Faculty, graduate students, and staff as well as the graduating class are urged to purchase their ticket options as soon as possible. The ticket option is $5.00 and the formal wear option is also $5.00. Deadline for purchasing tickets is January 24, 1964. That is not too far away. Here is the cost breakdown: Cost for formal (approx.) $10.00 Total cost of ticket $10.00 The Grad Ball has been the social event of the year. This year should prove no different. The Victoria Inn in Stratford is well suited for the occasion. The University is taking over the entire facilities of the Inn (which included a heated indoor swimming pool). Don’t forget to wear your bathing suit under! your tux. And for those who like falling in, towels will be supplied.

NAILED!! by DAVE

CAMi’BE‘L

The latest work of modern art acquired by the University is “Study in Carpentry” (my title) now hanging on the second floor of the Physics Building near the offices. On perusing this work, I concur with John Hammond, whose comment was “I think I’ll go over with a hammer and finish it off.” The artwork has a basic background of colour (always a desirable characteristic) but its major component is nails! These nails are hammered in straight lines and in artistic geometric curves. Various size nails have been used (after all, variety enhances art). The University thus seems to be keeping up with modern trends in art (for we are a modern school). This trend is typefied by the bearded artist who visits used musical instrument stores, purchasing for instance, an old bass fiddle or a battered baritone horn. These he takes to his studio, and sets it (artistically of course) on a frame background. He then takes a sledge hammer and to proceeds to ‘beat hell out of these subjects, until they fall in smashed pieces (in suitably artistic fashion) over his board. He may then nail them or tie them to the frame. A little bit of background colour, and the work of art is compl&t. (This by ‘the way, is not an imaginary case. It was portrayed on CBC television about two years ago). What’s that John; you say you’ve got the hammer? Nails, boards, saws, files? Well, we’re in business!

Smith (Science) with a garbage pail to serve as a filing cabinet for Science Society Correspondence. Smith returned the compliment by presenting Cambridge with a broom with which to clean up the Engineering Common Room. Arts, represented by Beth Cunningham gave Renison a beer keg which was accepted by Anne Perry. Gail Rappolt (St. Paul’s) presented Gerald Parker (St. Jerome’s) with a straight razor for his personal use and a door on a frame to replace the one which had suffered an unfortunate mishap on Hallowe’en. St. Jerome’s then presented Arts with a suit of yellow long underwear to be used by Artsmen who want to get “into the skin” of St. Jerome. The “piece de resistance” of the evening occured when Rick Westlake of Renison approached Jim Massie (St. Paul’s) with an immense ribboned white box containing Jean Macklin, Bullwinkle and a copy of the Renison house rules.

We of the U of W Folk Song Club are actually quite proud and honoured to have been chosen by the Winter Festival Committee to lead off the Festival. We desire not only to present a program for your enjoyment, but also to exemplify our aims as the representative “folk” body on our campus. Our first and formost among these aims is to introduce to those who haven’t already experienced real folk music, the history and trends of the best of folk songs today - not the popular&d versions of some of these ballads, but the many variants and true meanings of these songs of our people. Another equally important aim is to encourage everybody’s participation in the singing and appreciation of folk music. A Hootenany is not a concert, but rather a group participation effort, and, among other things, we try to emphasize the. fact that our club is one big “glob” of Hootenany.

YOU.

The room was bathed candlelight. Two

immense Christmas trees graced the front of the hall. Oh no, this couldn’t be Seagram Gym! ! Such was the scene on the evening of December 4 when Circle K held its annual Christmas Banquet. Some 270 partook of a turkey dinner complete with plum pudding and rum sauce (I like my sauce in a glass, please) and witnessed the traditional gift exchange among the faculties and colleges. en

While the pandemonium down and the litter was

A.S.S. Blast The Arts and Science Societies’ Formal - or was it a semi-formal? in any case the Arts and Science Ball was held in the Crystal Ballroom at the Walpher Hotel on Friday the 6th. Unfortunately the majority of people seemed to lose sight of the significance of holding the ball at a hotel - namely that many rooms are available for parties in close proximity to the dance. In spite of this oversight, the ball was an enjoyable affair (except for the members of the faculty who left the evening to the younger set after finishing their duties in the receiving line). The prices at the bar encouraged sobriety, but since most people were smart enough to bring their own, the evening soon got off the ground. Barry Houser, as usual, was convincingly defeated in the ensuing boat races. At half time, entertainment was provided by song (1) from the happy throng, until they were shut up by Paul Swartz. The microphone was handed over to France Mills, who provided much more mklodius tones as she proved to be Waterloo’s answer to Judy Garland. The eleven piece band of Johnny Downs proved popular and kept the evening swinging. Threatened with lynching by the enthusiasts, however, the band consented to play a polka, a dance they had previously omitted. All the polka fans enjoyed this one, with the exception of those who were knocked over by Wild Jim Kraemer. There was some confusion about whether the dance was formal or semi-formal, with corsages or without; but ,,in any case the committee is to be commended on a successful dance. The evening still seemed young when one o’clock rolled around and the band left for home.

died

cleared away, Jim Kraemer introduced the Glee Club. Their selections under the direction of Marilyn Webster were beautifully rendered and united the German culture of the community with the Christmas spirit of the Uni- versity. Professor Wyn Rees, introduced by Doctor Hall, addressed the

audience on the real meaning of Christmas. He also remarked on the importance of peace on earth in 1963 and summed up his address by wishing faculty, administration and students a happy but spiritually disturbing New Year. The closing remarks made by Dr. T. L. Batke

were

who said that university should not be a “milieu of perfection” but rather an “arena of striving creative minds.” It is difficult to compare the Christmas Banquet ‘63 with those of years past, but it is of the opinion that in the year 1964 Circle K will have to strive and aim high in order to surpass the efforts of Neil Amason and his men in Seagram Gym that Thursday night.


STUDENTS COUNCIL The Jacket Committee of the Students’ Council has, after careful consideration, selected an official men’s blazer for the University. This blazer is of black flannel and features a three silver mettalic button design, raised seams, slanted flap pockets and single vents (see accompanying photo) and is available in two models: one an ivy-league cut for slim students and the other a more generously cut model for the well-fed types. Both have the same features. The University of Waterloo crest which usually sells for $9.50 through the bookstore, will be included. This combination will be sold at a considerable saving over the retail price. Hence, it is hoped that the students will be better dressed on and off campus, with this top-quality wear. A downtown Waterloo clothing store will make available all stock sizes: tall medium and large. Made-to-measure blazers and alterations will be extra. If the student has already purchased a crest separately, it will1 be sewn on gratis. Please see page 15 for details.

Fable VII Our man of mathematics was still undaunted. He was determined to get rid of that stinking horse. He had an idea - if he could get the horse into the Arts Building it could wander around there for the rest of its life and probably go unnoticed. At worst it would be thought to be a lost chemistry student. He thought his plan had been well executed, but unfortunately the horse wandered into the lobby of the theatre. All of a sudden Hell broke loose in the Arts Building - the horse bolted through the lobby and went through all the glass doors without bothering to open them first. As the horse disappeared over the hill, Dr. Stanton was

dear subjects,

This year has brought us many sorrows, and many triumphs. However, if we all keep our chins up, our faces clean, and our noses to the grindstone, we shall be able to persevere in the face of adversity. It is this adversity that makes us more worthy as human beings, since in suffering we learn to understand our fellow man. And anyone who is trying to keep his chin up and his nose to the grindstone is certainly suffering.

RENISON HAD A PARTY Last Saturday, twenty-seven children, aged six to fourteen year, from St. Agatha’s Orphanage in Waterloo came to a Christmas party held in their honour at Renison College. After playing games and watching some harmless movies, the children received a stocking full of goodies before they entered that hall of fine cuisine for a full course turkey dinner complete with all the trimmings. Of course Christmas would not be complete without a visit from that Jolly fellow of the North, so thanks to Bullwinkle’s persuasive efforts, Santa paid a special visit to Renison to distribute presents. In the happy pandemonium of Santa’s laughter, the jingling of bells, and the tearing of wrapping paper, someone surreptitiously gave a strong tug at Santa’s beard. With a swift swat on the back of the head, he informed the brat that it was real. But all in all, it was a most succesful venture. Rumour has it that St. Pauls is considering holding a similar event for the local oldsters.

Damages listed GUELPH (CUP)-Vandalism and student ‘high-jinks’ have proved costly for students at the Federated Colleges of Guelph this fall according to the student paper, The Ontarion. They list the damage and cost as follows: -paid $79.00 by council for sand blasting to remove paint from sidewalks; -per capita assessment to all students for damage to administration officials office ruined by water damage when a fire hose was placed in his office and turned on; cost of repairs, approximately $1,000. -$75 worth of lanterns stolen from public works project ora campus, paid by council. -three students fined $10 each for creating a disturbance out,side of administration building.

We can look forward, I am sure, to a prosperous new year .as we enjoy the benefits of past labours . . . for ours is a fruitful land, and opportunity is always there for those who seek it out. Therefore, let not our misfoktunes be as millstones about our necks, but rather let us place our faith in the future. Lightheaded, rather than heavy-hearted, we will face the new year. All we need is a technological breakthrough which will enable us to lift the grindstone to the proper height.

Time for seIf=examination

As Christmas becomes more secular, year by year, the people who feel that religion should play the dominant role during the season become fewer and fewer. On the other hand, there are those who feel that religion has nothing whatsoever to do with them, and consequently applaud the increasing secularization. The majority of us likely fall somewhere between the two camps. But religion, if it were nothing but a belief in a god, would have disa.ppeared long before this. Religion in our society is a system of values combined with a belief in a deity. ’ To believe in a deity is the choice of the individual, but belief in a particular system of values is absolutely necessary in our complex society and particularly when we have been given this very nebulous responsibility of being students. At our age, and especially at university, it is very easy to disregard religion, but if this happens, one feels free also to disregard any of the values which the religion holds to be good. Perhaps much of the confusion apparent in the first years of university is a result of this lack of values. If this is the case, this void must be filled before one can concentrate on the task at hand. Our society has always used the Christmas season for examining one’s self and even if Christmas is only a holiday to you, I feel that this *custom could be valuable. D. E.

A. Wyn Rees, Principal,

Renison rCollege Christmas has become merely a social convention,

For most of you acceptable as a quaint articulation of folklore which pays off in such substantial things as liquor, food, gifts, and a brief respite from academic chores. A piece in these sophisticated columns about sheep, stars, kings, barns and babes would have as much impact as a bubble-gum explosion in the back row of Psych 1. I invite you instead to consider, with an intellectual frankness and an objectivity which may not come easily, the response you are making daily, whether consciously or otherwise, to the challenge of this age of which you are by parental misconception, a fleeting adornment. Are you backward looking in your yearnings ? Are you ranged with the Ontario Blimps, the Quebec Separatists, the Goldwaters, Gaullists, Verwoerds and Chiangs of our time ? Do YOLI too long for the past when life was ‘great’ or ‘simple’; when there were no trotiblesome foreigners, or cheeky natives; when the white man was lord; when milk came warm from cows; when bread was the satff of life and not a chemical prescription; when universities were but centres of learning; when students vibrated with intellectual curiosity and all professors were scholars? Or do you indulge rather in the ‘futurism’ of the-proponents of universal disarmament, world government, the classless society and the raceless universe ? Or are you tempted to cultivate withdrawal and detachment in a self-centred concentration on ‘work’ relieved possibly by bouts of overindulgence in booze and babes? All these responses are self-defeating. Have you attempted to evolve an attitude which would transfigure your frustrations ? You would have to acquire first a transcendental view of Man. In this connection I would suggest that the conception of Man to be found in so much secular history, literature, psychology, tale of the socialogy, philosophy and economics, is, to the redemptive

Christmas Message. From Renison 1x1 ‘Ye Olde Days’ of our grandparents and great-grandparents, Christmas was a time when the members of the family congregated for a great feast after the morning Church service. Gifts were exchang. ed, but they were of the small, homemade variety that made up in ing’eliuity and hand labour what they lacked in material expense. The day was rounded out by offering praise to God for His bounty throughout the past year, supplicating for His help in the future, and expressing thanksgiving on the event of Christ’s birthday.

birth of a babe as told by Luke, what the dry bones of Ezekiel were to the Word made Flesh. That is my Christnias message. If you understand it, I can end with a nod to biculturalism and wish you with confidence a Joyeux Noel.

(Rev.) C. 1. Siegfried, President,

St. Jerome’s

C.R. College-

“The Word was made flesh and dwelt among us.” These words taken from the prologue of St. John’s gospel, give us the true meanThe great fact of Christ’s godhead towers over ’ ing of Christmas. all other realities that attend His birth.

In our modern world it is not always possible or practical to recapture those days of our forefathers, except in nostalgia or the faithful adherence to family or national traditions. Perhaps we are too blinded by the glitter of silvery tinsel and sparkling lights to realize that the spirit of Christmas is still with us. We celebrate the birth of the Christ Child by extolling God in our churches, by expressing a sincere desire for world peace in the year to come, and by reaffirming the universality of the brotherhood of all men.

The main purpose of His coming is related to this fact of His divinity. The Son of God is given to us. He has come not merely see a little child’s face beam with pleasure and to receive the warm gratitude of a friend or loved one are still the most heart-felt modes of appreciation that make our giving worthwhile. To

The price of unselfish generosity is beyond all price, and yet is within everyone’s grasp. We at Renison have initiated a very special Christmas tradition. It is our privilege to play host to the children from St. Agatha’s Orphanage and it is our hope that they will return every year to share with us the true spirit of Christmas.

The Rev. Dr.) Douglas

J. Hall

Principal, St. Paul’s College It happens all too easily that with our trees and our tinsel, our parades and our parties, and all the prettiness which has come to be associated with this Season, we obscure the fact that the advent of Jesus Christ has to do with reality. He came and He comes! to the real world: a world where innocents are slain daily by greed and fear and apathy; a world where courageous men are shot down in the streets and where justice gives way to the passion of the moment; a world wherein the colour of a man’s skin decides his temporal destiny, and where walls and curtains of every sort are the dreadful tokens of man’s alienation from man; a world threatened by flood and famine,‘-brooded over by death, and trying not to be conscious of the possibility of its own imminent end; a world in which there is no Santa Claus; a sick, groaning, guilty world which should be “fair, and all her folk be one.” It is to this world that the Gospel of Peace is addressed. It is into this world, whose grimness even the tinsel of Christmas cannot hide, that God sent His well-beloved Son, bidding Him bear the sickness, the groaning and the guilt. It is over the stark reality of destruction and death - “even the death of a cross”! that the holy God writes His triumphant “Nevertheless!”

to tour the earth and to make us better and happier people. He has become a son of man principally to make us sons of God. Our wonderment over His divine sonship increases when we realize that He has come to share His sonship with us and to make us by the adoption of grace children of His own eternal Father and brothers of Himself. “But to as many as received Him he gave the power of becoming sons of God.” (John 1, 12) Because we are sons, our Lord taught us to address God as our Father in Heaven. St. Paul in his Epistle to the Romans says: “. . . you have received a spirit of adoption as sons, by virtue of which we cry, ‘Abba! Father’! The Spirit himself gives testimony to our spirit that we are sons of God. But if we are sons, we are heirs also: heirs indeed of God and joint heirs &ith Christ . . .” The prayer which is read at the mingling of the wine and water during the Offertory of the Mass, according to the Roman Catholic litChrist’s bel--WY 9 clearly connects coming a son of man and our becoming sons of God. “0 God, who wonderfully created human nature in its dignity and still more wonderfully refashioned it, grant us through this mystery of the wine and .water

to become sharers of the godhead of Him who deigned to become a participant in our humanity.” The late Holy Father, Pope Pius XII, considered this same truth of sonship to be the leading thoughtof the faithful at the annual renewal “With the coming of of Christmas. the birthday of the Redeemer, the Church would bring us to Bethlehem’s cave a?d there teach us that we must be born again and undergo transformation. That a complete will happen only when we are intimately and vitally united to the Word of God made man and participate in His divine nature, to which we have been elevated.” Christmas is a fortnight of joyous prayer to a Father who loved us sinners, and a time of spiritual yearning that the will of our Father in heaven may be done on earth. As sons of God, we hold Him in filial love and present to Him reverence for His kind, strong will. We know that He cares for us and we trust ourselves to His fatherly government. Christmas renews our desire to please our Father by becoming better sons. Christmas repeats to us the importance of helping others in our home and circle to find, to keep and to advance in the grace of God. Our sonship helps us to recognize better how just is that startling advice of Christ: “Be ye perfect as your heavenly Father is perfect.” St. Pad has reworded it: “Be followers of God, as most dear children.” Fathers can well be proud of sons and daughters who copy their virtues and walk in their pathways. The ‘best compliment, the best thanks, and the best love that we can show our Father is to make ourselves like Him in the virtues He practices toward us. His Son has told us what those virtues are: thoughtfulness, mercy, helpful gifts at every turn, and ever faithful love. Our Father in Heaven, make US worthy sons of yours. Guide us to live as Your divine Son lived. Christ, the Son of God, we give deepest thanks to YOU for coming to make us sons of God.

Gerald Parker St. Jerome’s College “Among them,” said the Personage from Outer Space,” are those who declare that their God, the Author of the whole universe, became man and walked the earth and ate and slept and died there. They say He was born of woman, a weak and chuckling babe - for you must know that humans take much time to reach maturity and are born quite helpless. This God-man, they say, spdke much, and worked many marvels.‘ Most astonishingly, they claim He taught that men should love each other. (“Love” is the very word they use.)” “All humans do, as a matter of observation, depend much the one upon the other-for their coming into existence, for their survival in infancy, for their full development in maturity. Their natural interdependence is a re’markable thing. The God-man, so His followers say, taught that this inter-dependence should always and everywhere be uppermost in their minds; that they should remember the dignity His coming among them gave to them all; that instructions, corrections and criticisms should respect the failing man; that a man’s beliefs and opinions, however, curious, should borrow from His dignity which, borrows from that of the God-man.” “If one might find among the humans at the University of Waterloo, for example, one who believed that the moon, made of green cheese, rules all, one would also find nothing in the speech or writings of his fellows, which derided such a believer, held him up to ridicule, or spoke of either moon or green cheese in such a way as to make him blush.” “In the depths of the cold season this God-man, so His followers say, was born. Thereafter at ‘that season of the year, they have said: “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth, peace to men of goodwill.” - even to those who bow low, taking it as a compliment to the moon.”

Whoever would know the true joy of Christmas must look for it, not in the never-never lands created by romantic imagination and sustained (for obvious reasons) by the professional image-makers of our society, but in the here-and-now world that is always much more like the day after Christmas than it is like Christmas Day.

This year the University of Waterloo has planned its biggest, longest and perhaps its most enjoyable Winter Festival. For ten days the students of this campus will have the opportunity to participate in, or be spectators of, a program of events which might normally spread over a good part of a term. Students from other universities and high schools students will be encouraged to attend many of the events. Students of this campus who plan to attend programs for which only a limited number of tickets will be issued should get their tickets as soon as they are available. The following is an outline of the ‘“Winter Festival ‘64.” ’ Thursday, January 23, 1964: The Winter Festival will be officially opened with the opening of an Art Exhibit by the “Doon School of Fine Arts” and “The Arts Institute of Ontario.” The latter will present “The Art Student Uses the Museum,” twenty-four panels to be exhibited January 23rd to February 7th’ and the “Coutts-Hallmark Scholarship Collection of Canadian High School Art, thirty pieces to be exhibited February 7th to February 28th, 1964. 8:30 p.m. an illustrated lecture by Edith Fowke and Alan Mills will open the “Folk Song Festival,” free tickets will be issued upon request. Information pertaining to where and when these may be obtained will be given at a later date.

J. G. Hagey . President For students everywhere, the Christmas Season is a significant moment in time a moment of joy and reunion and a moment for thoughtful rededication. It is my personal wish to all that you pause in this moment of merriment to reaffirm your faith in yourselves and in the path you have chosen to follow in the service of society.

I am very happy to have this opportunity to extend to all members of the university, and especially to those in the Faculty of Science, the age-long greeting of a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Christmas this year seems rather special, following recent tragic events. At this time, when Christmas and others celebrate the happiness of new joy and it seems important hope for mankind, to remember that as individuals, and collectively, we have great responsibilities to our fellows on this earth, and that we are not here only to seek pleasure and personal benefit.

A Christmas ritual at our house already observed twice for 1963 is family group listening to a recording of Charles Dickens’ immortal story, A CHRISTMAS CAROL. One appeal of the story is in the transformation - the change of direction in the life of the theretofore mean and penurious Scrooge.

There is some reason to believe that young people in North America today are conscious of these responsibilities, perhaps more so than their elders. The overwhelming success of the American “Peace Corps” and the strong interest shown recently on this campus in CUSO tend to confirm this. Such things provide a real source of hope to see a glimmer through the tinsel of some of the real spirit of Christmas!

The story seems to strike close to the heart of the significance of our celebration of the Holy Nativity. There is new and inspired hope for what we can be, as contrasted to what we have been. Renewal of hope can bring new attitudes and actions as we relate ourselves to our fellowmen.

We live in a period of the greatest mass enlightenment (I hesitate to say individual enlightenment) that man has ever known. We understand more of the world around us, and can interpret history more clearly than any generation that has lived on earth. The developments in communication and travel have made us aware of our fellow men, and the way they live and think, with a clarity to which many of us have not yet become accustomed. One might imagine that now, as never before, we have within our grasp the reality of the Christmas message about “peace on’ earth to all men of good will.”

But with all our enlightenment, has come a mass cynicism that characterizes this generation, yours perhaps a little more than mine. It is easy to be cynical about peace on earth - peace with nuclear warheads! It is easy to by cynical about Christmas. God knows we have muddled attitudes toward the holy day - which for many is an unholy holiday. I think we might do better to separate, as the Dutch have done, the feast of St. Nicholas from the observance of what for many of us is a religious occasion. It might be one way to put Christ back into Christmas - if that is what we want.

I’m, not altogether sure than many of us in western society know what we really do want. I have an idea that many of us are more sure of what we don’t want than of what we do. It may be a naive simplification on my part to say so, but I think many of us would be a great deal happier and would contribute more to mankind if 9we started to dedicate our lives for something, rather than against a lot of things. So for a happy new year let me wish you the novelty of a new year of conviction and of purpose.

Best

wishes.

There is a bit of “Scrooge” in each of us. What is going to happen to it this Christmas?


by TOM

RANKIN

The Christmas Season for many of us is spoiled by exams. Who feels like singing carols or mailing Christmas cards when we have five or six exams to look forward to? Right now as I write this column I am thinking that I should be studying Economics; for most of us the Christmas season begins on December 20th.

No

Rest

For

The

Weary

One Saturday a student at the University of Windsor was catching 40 winks on a couch in one of the washrooms. His slumber was unceremoniously interrupted by one of the University Policemen who simply said “You can’t sleep here.” No reason was given why he couldn’t sleep there, after all he was in the one marked “MEN.” However after the incident was brought to the attention of the proper authorities it was decided that a student would be allowed to rest in the rest rooms.

Lights

Out!

When the lights were out one Sunday night at McMaster, so did the men of a couple of the campus residences as they headed towards the women’s residences. The men began seranading the ladies with some queer chant: “Panties, Panties,” or something like that. However the ladies were not very appreciative and showed their displeasure by showering enthusistic choral group with pumpkins, water bombs, and rolls of toilet paper. Only three panties floated down. Empty. The folIowing Tuesday the power was interrupted for two and a half hours in order to correct the cause of Sundays failure. Although lectures were held in dark rooms and students couldn’t see the board to take notes, the rats used by hte Psychology Department had lights. It seems

used by the Psychology Department had lights. It seems the rats are really 1mice at heart and cry when they are alive. Portable generators were rented to keep the rats from crying.

August, 1962: Jordan Sullivan, president of Varsity Students’ stated that 500 landlords in the University of Toronto area refused to sign a certificate pledging them not to practise discrimination because of race, creed or calour.

Discrimination

Feb. 25, 1963: Mrs. Earl Cuzzens, principal of a school at Colchester South in Essex County, said that her school is segregated. “White children pass my school,” she stated, “and attend another.”

Canada

Very few countries publicly decry discrimination and segregation as much as Canada. But privately many Canadians are just as bigotted as they presume the Americans to be. The following facts appeared in the University of Western Ontario Gazette: Jan.

22, 1958: The Association for Civil Liberties stated that at least half of the more than 36 major Toronto apartment buildings bar Negroes, Jews and other minority groups.

Jan. 22, 1958: The Association for Civil Liberties stated that in Windsor, about 4,000 persons nearly the entire Negro populaiton were “bottled up into a ghetto-like area three blocks wide and five blocks long. 1961: Only 400 of 2,000 Eskimos have jobs. Hardly more than a dozen can read and understand instruction on a piece of machinery or fill out an employment form. Within the next 10 years a mere handful of Eskimo children will qualify for high school. June,

1962: Premier Robarts emphasized that the Ontario government was prepared to use the weight of law if it finds that education alone does not stop discrimination in the province.

and the Politician by BRUCE

KOEPKE

A political column in the Christmas issue of the Coryphaeus! What a curious anomaly! What could the two ideas possibly have in common? Christmas connotes all that is good in man, while politics - well, the mere word conjures up images of graft and corruption, of stullifying partisan double-dealings, and of sickening compromises that please no one. message. Perhaps this is “Peace on earth to men of good will,” reads the Christmas why there is no peace on earth: we have entrusted this infinitesimal corner of the universe to politicians. We have only to look to Machiavelli to discover the motivating force bedind this breed-lust for power, power that will sustain power and accumulate vast personal fortunes. We virtuous English Canadians need only to look to the province of Quebec to see how this has been applied, and to a people that have never fully appreciated the demoall to that one end of preserving their Frenchness and cratic principle, subordinating Catholicity. Here the heritage of such men as Duplessis has been one of tolerated and even condoned scandal and coiruption in government fields of endeavour. Such is the stereotyped mien of this little breed! The innacurracies of this picture are obvious, but not so much so that they do not caste set aside from the rest merit elucidation. What is a politician. 3 Is he an untouchable of humanity. 7 Politicians are just ordinary men like you and I, subject to the same frailities in a position of much graver temptation. They are not as we are, thpugh admittedly “great men” in the romantic sense of the term. Indeed, there are no great men; there are only extraordinary cricumstances which ordinary men are forced to meet. This means that whatever measure of truth is to be found in the popularized stereotype, it stems not from the ordinary human being that fills that role. It has been said that politics is the most noble of careers. For in the end it is the politician who is called upon to regulate the sum total of human endeavour indeed a Herculean task. And in spite of the message enshrined in Christianity, to which this issue of the paper is devoted, man’s relations to man are all too often self-seeking and ruthless. To the politician falls the dubious honour of balancing out the various and varying claims of interest pressing for recognition within the country, while at the same time striving to implement a programme that his conscience tells him will augment the common good and to maintain a working partisan majority necessary for the realization of such endeavours. Indeed, what is most startling to the student of politics is not the amount of corruption, of is that the politician, compromise, of immobility in the political sphere; what is striking confronted with inestimable opportunities for quick personal gain, with ennumerable factions each demanding immediate and often juxtaposed relief, with the stagnation of legislation brought about by the sheer weight of procedured and technical complexities - that in the face of all this the politician is not the exact image of his popularized stereotype. I am not at all trying to exonerate those who have been guilty of political fraud, corruption and expediency. There will always be found individuals to fit this sterotype. But this type of individual is as uncommon to the field of politics as to any other profession; he simply gets a great deal more publicity. For me, this topic is very personal, for I am bent upon a political career. As for my own feelings, certainly I want power. What man doesn’t? But more important is the use to which power is put.This is what I feel motivates me. This, too, I am sure is what motivates the vast majority of others in my chosen profession. They are all ordinary men, subject to general human frailities, but animated by general human ideals. And this is what justifies this column in the Christmas issue. The whole realm of politics can be as imbued with the spirit of Christmas as can any other; it simply requires a great deal more perseverence.

FASS Explains

Itself

The University of Waterloo is unique in many respects (cynics need not comOne aspect of this uniqueness is FASS NITE, the annual faculty-administration-student-staff production which will take place again of February 1, 1964. As far as anyone knows, or cares to know, there is no other production anywhere which combines the talents of all members of a university community to produce such an evening of fun. Student revues are common items at most universities, and even all-faculty productions are increasing in number. These clannish efforts do very little to break down the terribly stilted relationship which exists between students and their professors. Despite faculty programmes, the picture of the professors which students still have is one of an impersonal white god whose word is law. Those who are aware that this picture is not a true one are attempting to fill the gap between students and faculty. Also, there are people in a university who are neither faculty nor student, yet their presence is unnoticed. The purpose of a combined production is to make the various phases of the university aware of the people behind the scenes as well as to acquaint these people with those whom they serve and who serve them.

ment).

FASS NITE is precisely such a production. In performing in FASS NITE it is not necessary for a professor to lose the dignity of his classroom unless he so desires. Yet FASS gives the professor an opportunity to let down his hair for an evening. It allows students to feel that the professors are human after all. In general, FASS NITE affords an opportunity for everyone who takes part, performers and audience alike, to know one another better, and, most of all,, to enjoy an evening of entertainment which he will long remember.

The third 1edition of VARIAbles, the journal of the Sociology Club, University of Alberta, will make its appearance in mid-February, 1964,. The Editorial Board encourages the contribution of papers dealing with subjects of sociological interest. Material received prior to January 1, 1964, will be considered for publication in the’ February issue; papers received after that date will be’ considered for, subsequent, editions. VARIAbles is a jour’fral of scholarly nature published primarily for graduate and ’ undergraduate students in the social sciences, particularly Sociology. It, aims at becoming a literary link between social science departments in Canadian universities, both as a news media, and as a vehicle for the publication of noteworthy articles of sociological interest. VARlAbles has experienced rather spectacular growth in the two years of its existence. The second issue showed an increase from 28 to a 68 page volume, from offering six major articles and four book reviews to offering thirteen, from a circulation of 800 to one of 1800, from including only articles by Sociology students and professors to presenting material from many of the social science disciplines. This growth is continuing. P&i us editions have been printed by ’\Khe university multilith services, but this year’s ‘edition will be commercially printed. VARIAbles’ editorial policy is suf-

The second edition included articles on the Hutterities, Negro social movements, alcoholism, drinking habits of U. of A. students, northern education, management decisions within the family, and a linguistics article, as well as current’ notes about Sociology departments in ‘U. of A. and four other Canadian universities, and their ,research. This should give some idea of the variety VARIAbles offers to readers, and the variety of contributions which the .Editorial Board is willing to consider.

LIFE ‘IN USSR

/ __

Montreal (CUP) - The student in the Soviet Union is encouraged to gain experience in a factory or collective farm before attending university, Sergei Molochkov, a Russian who is in Canada on a YMCA exchange delegation said last week. He was speaking at a meeting sponsored jointly by the McGill University Young Communist League and the Socialist Society. Molochkov, who spoke on 23oviet University Lie,” said that university entrance requirements are not the same as Canada. Students who . have attended technical schools instead of academic secondary schools have the equal opportunity to go to university, “All education, from grade one to post-graduate studies, is free,” he said. Eighty-three per cent of university students are further provided with government scholarships. The fees for residences and other essential services are very small. Molochkov stated that the State’s annual budget for education was more than $16 billion. He described the typical Russian as “not only interested in getting an education, but in being a member of society.” Along with his professors, every student belongs to a trade union. , Many students are also members of the Young Communist League, which has 21 million members between the ages of 14 and 28, who in their studies tind general life, are considered “examples to society.” The student participates in many extra-curricular activities, including scientific and cultural groups and sports societies. They organize debates, festivals, concert and dances, as well as %our-cabbage” performances, so called because their enjoyment is sour, for in laughing at them, one often laughs at oneself. In reply to a question about the possibility of having a capitalism club at a Russion university just as there is a. Communist club at McGill, he answered: “There is not one single capitalist in the Soviet Union.” However, he thought that a student Christian movement could exist if enough people were interested.

LONDON‘ (CUP) - Free love is essentially good, if all other things are equal, Dr. Harold Johnston told last week’s Student Christian Movement (SCM) meeting. According to Dr. Johnston, associate professor of philosophy, anyone can produce a tight argument for pre-marital sex, if all other things are equal. If an ethical position is assumed, sicipline concerned with the introduction of a rational control over sexual appetites must be accepted. . He said of free ‘love that the intimacy mellows one’s ‘outlook on life in general and may permit more friendly and human relations with other people. Also, all other things being: equal, one should 1 be the best lover you’re capable ‘of being so as to bring satisfaction to yourself and to your mate.

Although all these forms of assistance are administered by the athletic department, they all bear a description identical to any other form of scholarships. So when a California court ruled several months ago that football players on scholarship are really employees of the university, and thus the school is obligated to contribute to a workmen’s compensation fund for the players, it appeared to open the door to the interpretation of the legitimate scholarship as being a form of employment. And in fact, last year in the United States hundreds of income tax evasion suits were taken against students on grants requiring them to perform part-time work, usualy reasearch or teaching. But two New York court decisions in recent,weeks have brought rescue to poor, starving, graduate students. In both cases the courts ruled the students did not have to pay income tax on the fellowships granted for the work. As a result, the U.S. Treasury Department and Internal Revenue Service has dropped all pending suits, and in instances where students paid tax, refunds have been made. Governments generally try to encourage graduating students to stay in schools just a few years more so they can reap the full effect of the academic momentum worked up in the final undergraduate years.

etball Warriors This year we have a basketball team of which we can be justly proud. It is a team which will make us proud to say that we are from the University of Waterloo. Dan Pugliese has a team which will be, barring any unfortunate accidents, A CHAMPIONSHIP TEAM! Not only is the first-string five tops, but also the bench is loaded with rookies and veterans who are quite capable of filling any position on the team. Let’s have a look at the Basketball Warriors for ‘63. At centre, we have Gerry Raphael from Westdale in Hamilton: Gerry stands 6’4” and in his rookie season with Warriors last year, 1he set several rceords. In one game against Toronto last year,

,

Warriors

In the first league hockey encounter of the season, the University of Waterloo Warriors were severely beaten 9 to 1 by the Lava1 University Rouge et Or. It was not only loss, but a shameful display of hockey. The Warriors could not do anything right and were quite obviously adept at doing everything wrong. Marcellin Tremblay led Lava1 to victory with a hat trick; Harold Martel and Yvon Paquet tallied two each for the Rouge et Or; and singles were collected by Yves Denault and Claude Ste.-Marie. Don Mervyn got Warriors’ lone goal in the third period. The Lava1 men could skate, pass, and shoot. They outskated the Warriors forwards and went around the defensemen to take hard, close-in shots at goalie Mike Durnan who, alone, held Lava1 to a one goal lead in the first period. Lava1 appeared to be an experienced team that knew what it was doing. The Warriors could do little or nothing against the superior opposition after the first period. Their shots were weak; they were disorganized; they could not even clear the puck from in front of their own goal. Whenever they attempted to pass, their passes were picked off ‘by the roving and alert Lava1 players who would then streak down the ice for a hard shot at Durnan. At the beginning of the second period, the Warriors pressed hard to get the equalizer and on several occasions should have done so were it not for the spectacular goaltending of the old veteran, Maurice Grenier. -Four quick goals and the steam was Zaken out of the Waterloo attack. At times, it appeared as though some of the Warriors were spectators as they watched Lava1 score from a loose puck. They appeared to lack energy and the desire to get the puck away from near their net. Some of the Warriors’ shots barely reached the Lava1 goalie, but every shot made by Lava1 was hard and accurate and called for extraordinary saves on the part of Durnan. But all the Warriors did not play this poorly. Terry Cooke was digging throughout the entire game and Dave Passomer played a steady and an ag-

Bill Jones

Sweater

Retired

On Saturday, 21 December, basketball sweater number 22 will be officially retired from active play as a tribute to the University of Waterloo’s greatest basketball player, Bill Jones. Bill Jones only played one season for the Warriors, but in that season, 1960-6 1, he set several records and was the chief factor in leading his team to that year’s championship. It should be noted that Bill did all this with a cast on his hand. During the first game of the schedule, his hand was broken and for the remainder of the season he played with a hampered left hand. To give you an example of the extraordinary skill which Bill displayed it need only be said that he scored a record forty-nine points in one game at Seagram Gym, thirty-

eight of those points coming on field goals (another record). He holds the Warrior record for the most number of points scored by one player in a single season with 448. He averaged 26.3 points per game throughout that one season. In one game, he scored a record ten consecutive foul shots. In field goal shooting, he was successful on 48% of his tries and on free throws, he had an 82% average. Coach Dan Pugliese has said that “He (Bill) was the greatest player I have ever seen in Intercollegiate basketball.” It is only fitting, then, that his sweater, Number 22, be retired from active service. The official ceremony will take place this Saturday, 21 December, when St. John Fisher plays Warriors at Seagram Gym.

gressive game on defense. It appeared at times that Mike Durnan was the only player the Warriors had on the ice as he had to stop sixty sizzling shots. A LOOK TO THE FUTURE: More practise, more practise and

more practise is needed to bring our club up from the humiliating slap-inthe-face from Laval. However. with added practise, the Warriors should be able to finish among the top four teams in the league.

Gerry scored thirty-seven points, seventeen of them on foul shots, a new record. He also holds the record for most rebounds in a single game (25) and in one season (3 10). Raphael’s average last year was 18.1 points per game. Bob Pando, 6’1” is in his fourth season with the Warriors and hails from Merritton, Ontario. He too holds a few records. He has a career total of 421 rebounds. In his three seasons with Waterloo he has scored a total of 596 points. He has made 42.1% of his shots (highest on the team) and was successful on 74.7% of his foul shots (also high for the Warriors). Jim Harm (6’2”) is also in his fourth season with the Warriors. Jim is from Sudbury. In his last three seasons, he has scored a total of 452 points and last year, he averaged 11.6 points per game. Jim always makes any game exciting through his humourous court aritics. Don Demko is 6’ and is from Niagara Falls. Don can really handle a ball as he dribbles up-court. From his guard position, Don was fourth highest scorer for the Warriors last season. Bob Balahura from Kitchener may be short (he is 5’S”) but he makes up for this with his vast knowledge of basketball. Last year, Bob was the outstanding member of the Junior Varsity squad and, in one game alone, he scored 20 points. His foul shooting was second best for. the Warriors with a 70.6% average. John Kuntz (6’2”) played his high-school ball in Waterloo and played extremely well for Warriors in his first season last year. In any game where the Warriors appeared to be erratic, John could be counted on to calm them down with good ball handling and to bring them to victory. John’s foul shot average last season was 69%. Jerry Hooper is also from Waterloo and played Junior Varsity ball last year as well as playing several games for Warriors. Basketball fans will remember 6’1” Jerry as the man who scored the winning point to defeat WUC last year. Paul Fehrenbach (6’3”) is ,from Kitchener. Last year, he played with both the J-V and with the Warriors. He will add strong support to this year’s Warriors. Bill Steinburg is 6’ 1” and comes from Niagara Falls. Last year he played non-conference basketball and averaged 8.4 points per game. Bill will be most welcome to return to this year’s Warriors. Dick Aldridge at 6’ is from Toronto. Dick uses his tremendous speed to go around opposing players and flip the ball up for easy lay-ups. In his two previous seasons with the Warriors, he has scored 399 points. Along with these veterans from past years, Dan Pugliese has added some fresh talent. John Ingle, 6’, from Toronto; Brade Finch, 6’3”, from Ancaster; Jim Knack, 6’, from Waterloo; and Mike Schwartzkopf, 5’9”, from Niagara-on-the-Lake. This is the Warrior Championship team for ‘63-‘64. There are only 600 seats in the bleachers at Seagram Gym so I would advise you to get to the games early. These games present the best basketball being played in Canada today. So, let’s cheer WARRIORS ON TO VICTORY at every home game and at as many away games as you can get to!

BOW to Tech

In a scrappy basketball game against Lawrence Tech. at Seagram Gym on 5 December, U of W Warriors lost by a score of 80 to 61. The Warriors looked liked they might take the game away from their taller opponents when they went off the court at half time leading by a score of 4 1 to 35. In the first half, Warriors had looked very smart and seemed to click on passing plays. Jim Hann and Don Demko, back from last year’s Warriors, kept talking it up while at the same time showing good ball handling. Warriors were never more than four points behind at any time in the half and were hitting well, especially on foul shots. In the second half, the superior conditioning of the Lawrence Tech began to show as did the lack of experience by this year’s Warrior team. Since this was their first game of the year, Dan Pugliese’s ball team were unable to keep up the pace of the first half and their shooting, checking and passing became erratic. They lost the edge off their shooting and, in the first fifteen minutes of the second half, scored only four field goals. No one seemed to be able to hit for Warriors and the backboards were cleared by the blueuniformed Tech players with little opposition from the Warriors. The fact that the Tech first string averaged 6’4” had something to do with

the amount of Warrior rebounding. The Tech team seemed to be quite strong with a tall, adequate bench as well as a good first string team. Their leader seemed to be Ronnie Sanders, a 6’1” guard in his freshman year at Lawrence Tech. Sanders hit for 18 points in the game, all but two on field goals. From the floor, he ‘scored eight for eleven. His defensive manoeuvers put some of his more experienced teammates to shame. From the Sidelines: The game was preceeded by a Lawrence Tech. exhibition of ball dunking . . . Gerry Raphael was high for Warriors with 18 and for Tech Gerry Wnuk was tops with 21 . . . the refereeing was inconsistent and, at times, amusing . . . Sanders of Tech is an outstanding ballplayer and should do well in his league . . . Bob Balahura was high scorer for Pioneers in the JV game which Pioneers lost to Ryerson 54-52 in a rugged, high-school type of game . . . Balahura played in the Warrior game as well . . . Brad Finch and Mike Schwartzkoft, two promising rookies, dressed for, but did not see action in the Warrior game after they played for Pioneers ) . . this was the first Warrior loss in three years at Seagram Gym . . . the next game will be at Seagram Gym against St. John Fisher of Rochester . . . the date is Saturday, 21 December at 8:30 p.m.

Or how about havino one on a Canadian identity or the Privy Council? Despite what you may think, Royal Commissions are very useful thugs - just think of all the old judges that are taken off relief and gainfully employed. It’s rather like an addition to the winter works program. As it was so delightfully put forth in the revue, Beyond the Fringe, “When a miner gets too old and stupid and decrepit and lazy and tired he can no longer work.” Well,

The Rt. Hon. Lester B. Pearson, . Prime Minister of the Dominion of Canada, Ottawa, Ontario. Sir: It is my privilege to advtse you that the Students’ Council of the University of Waterloo has given official approval of ‘0 Canada’ as the Canadian National Anthem. ’ The enclosed Press Release has been distributed to leading news media across Canada in the hype that other Universities will follow suit. Respectfully yours, James D. Kraemer, President, Students’ Council.

Hockey McMaster 8-5 Over Warriors It took McMaster only 5 minutes to ensure themselves victory at Waterloo Arena on’ Thursday night, as they slipped five goals into the Warrior net during the third period giving them an 8-5 victory. Play was even throughout the first two periods as the Warriors skated with and checked the Marauders. At the end of the second period the score stood 3-3. Don Mervyn, Tom Searth and Gary Deighton scored for the WarRandal were marksmen for McMaster. In these first two periods the Warriors had many opportunities, but they failed to capitalize. McMaster came out strong in the thir;d period and netted goals by Lamond, Spour, Bushell, and two by Savage. The Warriors attempted a comeback, but only managed to score two goals by Don Mervyn and Stan Sharman. Waterloo played a much stronger game than any of their previous encounters and surprised McMaster a great deal. The Warriors do not play until the New Year.

December 11, 1963 Dr. J. G. Hagey, President, University of Waterloo, Waterloo, Ontario. Dear Mr. Hagey: I wish to advise you that on November 27, the Students’ Council of the University of Waterloo gave official approval to “0 Canada” as the Canadian National Anthem. The enclosed press release was submitted to leading news media across Canada, and a letter was sent to the Prime Minister, the Right Honorable Lester B. Pearson, advising him of our action. It was the desire of the Council members that the University be informed of the resolution, in the hopes that other University departments would extend the provision of the resolution beyond the area of student functions. In particular, the Department of Athletics and the Department of Extension were mentioned, as being able to put into practise a similar preference for “0 Canada.” Respectfully yours, J. D. Kraemer, President, Students’ Council. PRESS WLEASE (December 10, 1963) ‘0 Canada’ has been officially recognlzed as the National Anthem of the students of the University of Waterloo. At a recent meeting of the Students’ Council, the following resolution, presented in French and English, was unanimously approved by the students: “Whereas 1. Canada is an autonomous Dominion, and 2. The Canadian government has been delinquent in adopting a national anthem, and 3. It is recognized that a united cultural expression is inherent in ‘0 Canada,’ It is Resolved that when a National Anthem is required, ‘0 Canada’ shall take precedence over ‘God Save the Queen’ at all student functions of the University of Waterloo.” December 10, 1963

I have just finished persuing the “Denning report”, a marvellous document giving all the lurid details in impeccable dictionary terms. It lacks only one detail; who was the man in the mask? In fact Denning didn’t really get down to the bottom of the story to find out whether, as some papers reported, he was also wearing a leather apron. But nevertheless, it provides very interesting reading. The problem is what can we do to make Canadian Royal Commissions more interesting? Certainly, Mr. Norris made an attempt when he started asking the eminent Mr. Banks about his nurse, but he chickened out at the last moment. The solution is really quite obvious. Let’s have a Royal Commission on Royal Commissions!

The CORYPHAEUS’

Fable Vi ’ The stench of the cooking horse was a bit more than the eminent Math. Professtor could take, so’ he went out to the roasting grounds ,and took the horse off the spit. Despite the pleas of his beloved Science students, he dragged the barbequed animal over to the shimmering lake that graces our campus. With a hard kick in the posterior the horse did a one and a half 1gainer into the pond, but amazingly it stayed afloat.+ Did this small setback discourage the doctor? Not on your life. He stuffed a bag full of cookies down the horse’s throat, feeling that success could not fail with forty-five pounds of undigested cookies (1) in the poor horses stomath. But alas it was to no avail. The horse just wouldn’t go down.
