In a telephone interview, Presic dent Hagey declined to reveal the sources of funds for theseprojects. He said he was not in a position to say more than that and in due time will reveal the reasons. Mike Sheppard, Student Council president, has arranged a meeting with Presiderit Hagey to find out why the campus center has been placed in the second group, although plans for it have-already been completed.

bout nine days behind schedule, according to the lates t critical path printouts. Much of the concrete work is complete, Conduit is being installed at the same time. The extensions to theengineering building were restaged by the contractor because of a shortage of electrical tradesmen. E lectricians have been concentrated on teaching areas, and the office areas may be delayed as a result. Roof work has been completed and terrazoinstallation is well under way. The service tunnels to the residences and the sites of the physical education building and the campus center are almost complete. The project is on schedule. Most of the structural steel work for the central services building is complete. The maintenance, stores and commissary building is also on schedule. Steel work has begun. The exteriors of seven of thenew Village houses are complete. Work is going on on the inteviors.
Fire exits in the arts library are barely adequate and improperly marked. This conclusion was reached last week following an inspection of the library by Bob Sloat of the Waterloo fire department and the Cor yphaeus. Inspector Sloat assured the Coryphaeus that he would see to it that proper directional signs were put up immediately. The inspection followed a telephone inquiry regarding the locked exit doors on the main floor. During this calI the inspector said he was not happy with the situation provided for emergency exits, but that they requirements. met the minimurn The situation was necessary to prevent book theft, he said. As soon as the administrative offices temporarily housed in the library are moved out, security guards would be placed at the first-floor exits and the barred doors would be unlocked, he said. The university had not told him, however, when the offices temporarily housed in the library wouldbe moved. Following the call the inspector decided to visit the library with the Coryphaeus and review the situation, On his visit he discoveredanurn-

On the second (main) floor the only open exits, other than themain door, are all located in the services area which is separated from the main section of the library by a wall. There are no emergencyexit signs on these doors nor on the doors leading to the service area. A librarian on duty was asked what action she would take in case of fire blocking the main exit. She did not have any idea of what to do. On the third floor two doors are provided with alarms that automatically ring when the doors are opened. The doors are barricaded anyway. The existence of other doors is poorly marked, with no directional signs pointing toward them. During the inspection, Inspector Sloat pointed out the smoke-detecting devices located in the’building would give excellent advance warning of any developing fire. He determined to contact the physical plant and planning department immediately to see that proper directional signs were installed however.
While on campus the inspector mentioned that his department had a number of complaints about the situation and that one complaint had even been sent to the fire marshal’s office in Toronto. The overall library situation was actually quite safe, he felt. His real worry on campus was the chemical engineering building where the building program has left only one exit.

World not truly round The Earth is slightly pear-shaped with some sizable dents and bumps on it and not, as traditional astronomy has it, like a ball flattened at the poles and bulging slightly at the equator because it is spinning. This was revealed at a meeting on the ‘determination of the geoid from satallite data” held by the British Royal Astronomical Society in London in January. The “geoid” is the shape of the earth, and painstaking observations of minor irregularities in the orbits of satellites, followed by lengthy computerassisted calculations ,have revealed oddities in it almost impossible to detect in other ways. According to experts of theRoyal Aircraft Establishment, Farnborough, the North Pole - the stalkend of the pear - is about lometersfurther from the equator than it would be if the shape was regular, while the South Pole is about 40 meters (UNESCO FEATURES) closer.

New break in ocean
found floor
(UNESCO FEATURES) Scientists have discovered a, massive break in the ocean floor of the North Pacific in the area between theHawaiian Islands and the Aleutians. An undersea upheaval millions of years ago raised a range of mountains over half a mile high and dropped part of the adjacent bed another half-mile, forming a trough or valley about 15 miles wide. Oceanographers call such a phenomenon a fracture zone. The discovery is based on the work done by the “Pioneer”, an oceanographic research vessel of the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Coast and Geodetic Survey. The “Pioneer ” surveyed a 120~rnilelong portion of the fracture zone, but there are indications that it stretches another 860 miles in a northeasterly direction towards the northern tip of Vancouver Island, British Columbia. The new find is comparablein size to those of other massive breaks in the ocean floor previously discovered, the Mendocino, Murray and Molokai Fracture Zones. The new fracture zone, lying to the north of these, has not yet been named. The discovery is animportant result of the SEAMAP project., an intensive programme aimed at mapping the bottom of the seas. Prior to World War II, the bottom of the which cover 7170 of the oceans, globe, had been largely a mysterious and unknown realm. It is only since 1945 that the truenature of the OCSIII bed, with its hundreds of mountains and mountain ranges, plateaus and valleys, has begun to be known.

At its last meeting the Engineering Society passed a motion giving the course clubs recognized by the Society one vote each. Though it may seem the course clubs are gaining more recognition and representation, this is not the case. Ken Hancock pointed out that the EIC meeting May 17 received only three lmembers.

Joining the trend to expanding summer activities, the Flying Club has started its activities for the new season. It is now the only universitylevel flying club to operate during the summer season in Canada. With financial aid from the Federation of Students to the extent of 50 percent, the club has scheduled several summer flights. It is now flying the Cessna 172 four-place single-engine aircraft on a two-hours-per -flight basis. Each pilot is assigned three members and> these four decide where and when they will fly. Other projects such as films, tours and entertainment are in the plans for thesurnmer. If youmissed the last meeting, watch for the posters. They’re sky blue.
Communistactivities tin aimpus? A Communist Club may be started on campus later this year under the auspices of the Federation of Students. This is the hope of Roy Semak, 27, a second-year civil engineering student here. Mr. Semak is president of the K-W Communist Club. Mr. Semak hopes that non-believers will be attracted if the club is under the Federation Iike any other campus club, than if it is under the auspices of the Communist Party of Canada. Mr. Semak came to the attention of the public a few weeks ago when the party’s chairman, Tin Buck of Toronto, was scheduled to speak on the Wmrnunist viewpoint of Vietnam at a public meeting in Waterloo. The threat of violent demonstration from members of area ethnic groups prompted local hall owners to refuse permission for the meeting to be held. The speaking en-

gagement was cancelled. Until this time virtually no one in the Twin Cities was aware that a local Communist Club existed. Mr. Semak would not reveal the number of members nor any of their names for fear of personal intimidation, this being the reason for holding their meetings in secret. Canadian party members stilladdress each other as “Comrade” although thepractice has disappeared in Russia today. The national party here sends members to study communism in Prague, Moscow and other. estab lished centers. Otherwise there is no financial or organizational connection with other parties. Various attempts to improve their public image haven’t been very successful, Many publications are distributed, one of them ‘Scan’, directed towards the university population. A national convention held last week
in Toronto was open to press and public. But still the average Canadian is woefully ignorant of what the Communist Party is and does.

Sleepand learn Something every student dreams of--learning while he sleeps-is fast becoming a practical proposition. In Britain, a national con-u-r&tee on sleep teaching has been formed to co-ordinate research and anumbe&r of companies are alreadyoffering specially-adapted tape recorders that will run all night long, re& peating phrases from a foreignlan~ guage or instruction in technical subjects. The theory is that verbal messages get through to the brain even when the ‘listener’ is asleep and that, if the noise level of instruction -is kept low and even, so as not to disturb the student’s rest, facts are retained in the memory in muchthe same way as those absorbed \by ordinary teaching methods. But until recently, it remained a mere theory. Despite apparent success inmany b&vidwl cases--and inexplicable failure in others--the principles of sleep-teaching (or hypnopedia as it is coming to be called) had never been tested on a really large scale. In October, however, the first mass hypnopedia program sponsored by the education services of the
.Czechoslovakian Radio, began in the industrial city of Usti’nad Labem, in northern Bohemia. The experiment itself will last five months, The subject ?hosen for teaching by hypnopedia is English and instruction is being given via the piped radio network in the town. This will relay ten lessons, broadcast at fort-nightly intervals t to the volunteer learn-while-youdream students. Each lesson lasts 12 hours--from 8 p.m. to 8 a.m. The first three hours are given with the student awake. They consist of ahigh-pressure course of grammar andvocabulary. At 11 p.m. a soothing lullaby is broadcast to send the student to sleep and for the next four hours, the radio whispers the lesson again into his sleeping ears. At 2 am.,a signal is transmitted to strident wake the guinea pig up for a brief revision. Then he is lulled back to rest again while the radio purrs on. At 5 o’clock, his sleep ends and he has to follow a three-hour review of the lesson before his hardpearned (UNESCO Features) breakfast.

Setting
facts
straight
To the editor: An editorial in the last issue of the Corv criticized the Student Council &ecutive board appointments for this year. I’d like to set a few facts straight. Six artsmen and one engineer were appointed because they were the only people who applied. This does not show favoritism toward artsmen. Last year’s president, an engineer, also appointed six artsmen and an engineer, for the same reason--no one else applied. One of my most active campaign workers, Steve Ireland, was appointed to the executive. One of Joe Recchia’s most active campaign workers, Dave Witty, was also appointed. Joe Recchia was not discouraged by me in any way from applying.He
was offered the treasurer3 position and refused it in favor of Bill Siddall. My girlfriend was elected by Council as information chairman. (Although no one else volunteered for the job, I did try to talk Gerda Munsinger into taking it, but she was busy writing her memoirs.) It was suggested that theappointmerits might “get the engineers I certainly hope so. making waves”. It’s about time someone got off his backside and did something. In this issue there is a notice asking for people who would like to help me run dances and suchduring the summer. Elections for engineering representatives are Corning up. Also, if anyone now on campus will be available in the fall, the position of homecoming chairman is open. If anyone would like to make waves constructively, I hope he will volunteer for one of these jobs. I can9 provide a program for engineers without your help.

Even using the station to produce credit courses to bepresentedover the air has been considered. This is already being done successfully at several other universities. The U of W, oriented to engineering and sciences on an applied level, is ideal for a station to be studentoperated. A station of this size requires constant maintenance and
servicing to function properly. There is afantastic source of program material from allfaculties for presentation. But this will not be the only content of the station’s programming. It must also appeal to the general public, who will form a great part of its audience. Programming must fit a great crosssection of people. A non-commercial station would be able to do this easily. . The station proposed is an FM multiplex (sterio) transmitter with about 10,000 watts effective radiated power.

Paul Kligman, noted Jewish radio and TV writer and performer. onstration of Jewish humor can be seen in the following little story: A small Jewish guide was showing a huge Texan around Israel when the American asked to be shown a
typical farm. The guide took the Texan to his own place and said: “You see that fence there? Let your eyes roam a full 50 feet to the right until youget to another fence--that’s my farm.‘* The Texan was quick to respond: “Why I get up early in the morning and drive from one fence of my fan-n all morning and all afternoon,about seven o’clock at night I get to the other fence.” The Jew looked at him withanair of understanding and said: “I know what you mean --I too oncehad a car like that.” ML Kligrnan spent the first half of the evening giving us ashort background of himself and Sholom Aleichem and bringing them together with well-placed and very humorous stories. During the evening he read extracts from Sholom Al&hem’s ‘Cnar ds ‘=-a satirical story about deception and cards, some present-day writings of Ephw r-aim Kishon, and parts of “rhe education of H*Y*M*A*N* C*A*P* L*A*N’ by Leo Rosten. All these were done with a concentration on the best of Jewish humor o Although some may argue that the translated works werelackingc-as usually happens when any= thing is translated--it was plain from the audience reaction that any deficiencies were taken care of by Mr, Kligman’s wonderful presentation.

His constant speeding up and Mr. Kostigian’s slowing down resulted in a confused band. Playing a little softer might improve things and possibly a11ear might be tuned to CBC’s Nimmons and Nine, The highlight was undoubtedly the Festival Trio featuring Dave Drew on an electric string bass, Peter Rand on guitar and the University of Waterloo’s Barry Wills on piano. The absence of drums necessitated rhythm in their playing--very difficult indeed, especially on ‘El Ricardo’, a bossa novae The trio settled well into a strong swinging rhythm. The tunes were ‘Sack of wool’, an Adderly tune, ‘W a.&‘, ‘The shad-
ow of your smile’, Oscar Peterson’s ‘Hallelujah time’ and El Ricardo’. Each arrangement’was played in a tasteful style that brought out the feeling and characteristics of the particular tune. Dave Drew, combining his tremendous familiarity with the instrument with melodic extemporizations, proved why he is a very fine bassist. Peter Rand, especially on ‘Sack of wool’, played in a style not unlike Jim Hall in ‘Seven come eleven’. Technically he isn’t Hall, but he certainly sounded like him a good rhythmic qualitities with strong rich chords and well executed improvisations. Barry Wills is a talented pianist who has a feel for the song, playing in a funky style reminscent of Oscar Peterson, and indeed he did more than credit to Peterson’s ‘Hallelujah time*. The trio sounded so natural, smooth, creative that you could have closed your eyes and invisioned Peterson, Hall and Ray Brown before you. They brewed some fine jazz worthy of better airing through this land. In conclusion, the orchestra took a tune and adapted it to their style -while, to my mind, the trio did the far harder thing of adapting their style to a tune.
