phaeus earlier this week, the president said that tenders had been called on the building once before but that the receipt of only one appkation made awarding the contract irnpossible. This situation existed, he said, because the architects could not begin to interest builders because of the unsure state of finances previously connected with the campus center project. Architects on the other buildings now going up had been surer of an early tender-call date and had therefore been more active ininteresting contractors in those projects, Pre-
sident Hagey said. When asked about the possibility of joining the food service$ building and the campus center the president replied, “The students don’t need to think of having the campus center until 1975 if they start asking for that. Such a move would place these buildings completely out of stage two. I can not see any sense behind starting something like that now.” Funds for the buildings do not actually exist at this time, the president said. But he was sure they would soon be made available by the government, and by the fundraising campaign the university was about to embark upon.

He discounted rumors that alnedical faculty would not associate with a campus’ having an optometry college, because of friction between the two groups. The optometrists are particularly interested in associating with a university in order to become eligible for government assistance, At the moment the college is supported: completely by private subscription and fees. If buildings for the college were to be built on campus they wouldprobably be paid for entirely by the province under its medical-school policy.
The exact date oi incorporation oi the Federation of Students is still not known, Appl$cation to theontario government will probably be made before the end of the August. Originally planned to be colnpleted by the end of June8 incorporation has been delayed by talks with the university administration regarding the powers that will be granted to the Federation under the “object? clause of the application, The administration is particularly inter es ted in guarantees limiting the Federation’s power to open retail stores on campus such as a book store.

The Province of Ontario Students Award Program--POSAP -- announced in April by education minister William Davis has been roundly criticized by student leaders and university officials. The plan forces a student to borrow more than half his assistance money and imposes an even stricter means test than the Canada Student Loan Plan, which POSAP replaces in Ontario. A student’s need is assessed by a government board--from which there is no appeal. It is based on detailed financial statements from the student and his parents. The first $150 of the assessment is a loan and 60 percent of the balance is a loan. Only 40 percent is a nonrepayable bursary. For example, a student whose need
is assessed at $500 must pay back $360 (or 72 percent) and gets $14O as a bursary. Interest wilI be charged at 5.75 percent starting six months after the borrower leaves school. It will force students into profitable summer occupations and away from public-service work because each student is expected to save a certain amount from summer earnings, based on course, sexandyear. No consideration is given for geographical location or low-paying service jobs. Associations of university presidents, of university faculty and of university students have prepared briefs for the government criticizing the plan. It places over-reliance on loans which force all students who need financial aid into debt, they say. Even the best students willprobably have to take out bank loans in addition to their scholarships. In the past they auld apply for a bursary without having to consider a loan. ’ Now the scholarship amount will be deductedfromthe bursaryportion of POSAP money. The means test is too severe, Hugh Armstrong, president of the Ontario Region of Canadian Union of It may stop some Students s said, students from applying, because they will consider it an invasion of privacy. Parents are expected to answer questions about their income, life insurance, value of real property and business s bank accounts, inves tments and personal indebtedness. And parents are expected to support any unmarried undergraduate who has not taken at least one year off to work, regardless of whether he lives at home. If a student is dissatisfied with the treatment he gets from the assessment board--tough luck. No appeals are allowed unless his circumstances have changed since the application was first made.

Business is up 100 percent from last summer in health services. Every day this surnmer at least 31 or 32 patients have visited the health services office, The busiest day last summer had only 17, The whole year was much busier, said university nurse Phyllis Livingston. There was a total of 6,147 visits from July 1965 to June 1966, “861 of them were shot in the arm-or elsewhere,” 52 people received inoculations for trips to Europe or Mexico--“wealthy engineers “. 939 visits were bynon-students-“including staff and faculty, construction workers who can’t speak English and visiting grandmothers who get conked with planks”, In October 1963, health services’ first full month of operation, there was a total of 159 patients. This October had 638. March 1966 had five times as much business as March 1964--an increase from 181 to 828. InMarch 1964 the doctor saw 6 patients, but 315 in March 1966. Sometimes Dr, Reesor had to schedule as many as 10 patients in one hour, The figures cover only visits to the heatlth services office. They do not indicate the time spent by the nurses in arranging ‘appointments with specialists. Sometimes four or five phone calls must be made

Campus 9y,.,center reviewed ‘I ’ . * Every student will be glad to hear _ that the campus center -has finally received the go-ahead. However, now is the time to remember the old adage, “Haste makes waste.” A sober second look should be taken at the building’s plans and the philosophies behind them. The campus center should become the hub of student activity. It should act as a center of gravity for all students. It should be a unifying force. . The question is-will ours be? We are the only university in Canada to place the food services build-’ ing at the’opposite end of the campus from the student activities building. One of the reasons this has been done is because the administration apparently does not want the large trucks necessary to service the- food building to cross through campus to reach the center?s location. But large trucks will be servicing the commissary which will lie almost directly behind the center. Surely the trucking problem could be solved one way or another. The most natural time’ of day to take a break from one’s studies is at meals. Having already relaxed, students should be near the facilities that will be provided in the center. The music room, chess tables, bank, ~001 tables, bar and meeting areas should be just down the hall, not at the-other end of the campus.
Especially during our cold winters, that walk between buildings will discourage many from maki,ng the, trip. As a result some will eat sandwiches in the center building while others play cards in, the dining hall. Further inconvenience will result when clubs want to, ‘hold a dinner meeting and find they have to use two buildings to do it. The campus cent& should serve as a stimulant to student participation and not as just a set of handy meeting rooms. To do so, however, students have to be there naturally as part of their daily routine and not just when they make the effort to go there. The campus center site will eventually become the center of-campus. Service tunnels have already been built to this site. Both buildings should be located on it.~ New plans will of course have to be drawn up and this time they should be given to an expert in campus centers and their design to ’ look over. There is no reason for this action to delay the completion date more than eight months-no longer than August 1968. , Certainly it should not mean a delay until 1975 or longer as President Hagey has said. When these buildings &e built they will last for many years. A few months delay, now will be well spent.

Welfare: right, or gift? It is hard to believe that health and welfare minister Allen MacEachen actually feels that a man who refuses to work still has a right to public support, as he told Parliament in Ottawa last week. If the honorable minister is trying to awaken the public to the * fact that things have already gone. too far’ by making such a ridiculous suggestion, then he is to be congratulated. Otherwise he should be removed from office at once. The idea of the government paying people a wage although they refuse to work ‘is sickening. We have goneI too far in this directio? already. Mr. MacEachen’s deputy minister, Joseph Willard, expanded on his superior’s suggestion: welfare workers, he said, have foun,d that some people have lost all their wili to work for psychological reasons and should therefore become a public burden through welfare. Nonsense. Those poor unfortunates would probably find themselves cured very quickly if they faced the choice of ,starving to. death. Let’s be realistic. Many people work solely to feed, clothe and house themselves. We need these bodies to form our labor force. But what would happen if we adopted Mr. MacEachen’s idea? Even -‘worse, the inevitable *whatthe-heck attitude would surely . spread to those who normally ‘have more initiative. Already the tax bite has resulted in many people not
. working harder for more money because it would put them in a higher tax bracket. ’ If we were to proceed to a policy like Mr. Mat Eachen’s there can be ’ little doubt that many now making great contributions to our economy would consider continued effort wasted if so much of the fruits of their labor were bei.ng spent on the lazy. * A basic tmistake was made around the turn of the century when governments adopted the philosophy that . .’ welfare was a man’s right and not just a gift of those who were. better off. No one has .a right to live off the labors of anyone else while he is still able to p.ay *his own way. .’ .’ Rather than have all the plans we have now, a much better solution would be to ,have one agency respon- . sible for filling the ‘gap .between what some men can earn and what -. they need to live. lEveryone would have to work to a certain minimum degree of. effort to get government money. In other words, the unemployed cook could dig ditches if he wanted public. funds or the handicapped soldier could file letters. Our whole political-economic, sys. tern is based on competitipll and in- . itiative. Mr. MacEachen’s suggestion j ‘1would lead’ to the fall of both these cornerstones and finally of our whole’ society. Something for nothing is the ageold offer. of the politicians but its realization can lead only to. decad- ence. .

park dwellers,
because
24 hours a day here. What follows is a short summary of my observations on the habits of these wild creatures spending the warm summer days lounging in the shade, smashing coke bottles against my toolroom and carving their initials on trees, arms andr. picnic tables . Here then: GREASER Species: Grubbies personus. Usually found in large Habitat: city parks where lounging in pai=ks is legal and police cannot break them up. Also often found in rundown poolrooms and motorcycle club houses. Plumage: Hair is also invariably long but it is not of the- type favored by the average teeny-bopper of today. Instead it is the old-style DA combed back witi thick greasy gobs of Vaseline of Brillantine or whatever. Coloring: There is very little variation in coloring; all members of the species dress entirely in black--winter and summer. Shorts or short sleeves are never worn,no matter how hot the day becomes.
personus tends to collect in a group of 15 to 30 members of which the five largest appear. to be leaders. These c8r-r be identified by a peculiar marking on their backs which appears to be a demonic head with “Satan’s choice” written above it. That these are leaders is obvious from the homage that the younger, , smaller ‘members pay them. One of these younger members I is joyed I when a leader deigns to offer aword or two to him and is absolutely transported into rapture if offered a ride on the back of the leader’s motorcycle. These junior members emulate their heroes in every way, copying everything thley do or say. None of them, however, can purchase a motorcycle of his own because they do not hold a job. They cannot hold a job, however, as then they wouldnot be like their heroes. (There seems to be a bit o f a paradox there.) Recreation: This consists ofriding around on motorcycles or beat up 1957-58 convertibles. Therebeing only one car or bike for about every four members much time is spent sittingaround waitingfor one’s turn to ride around the block.

Stratford .offers I: varied ,thtiatre by Stewart Saxe Some. 30 miles away lies the cmter of some of the best enter&inment available this summer: Stratford. Of the three Shakespearean plays offered this year, ‘Twelfth night’ seemed themost enjoyableand ‘Henry VI’ the least. This may be because ‘Twelfth night’ is a comedy, whereas ‘Henry VI’ could be considered as one of Shakespeare’s heavier plays. The acting in the latter was superb excepting all the death scenes. Powys Thomas, however, as the Bishop of Winchester, should be heartily congratulated for a very moving death. The. best aspect of the whole play from the directing point of view seemed to be the handling of the mass scenes. Approximately 15 actors repeatedly accomplished on the small stage convincing portrayals of a great battle. Brian Petchey did a superb jobas Henry VI. William Hutt as the Earl of Warwick was so convincing that in the minds of the audience he represented not merely a characterplaying the role but he actually seemed to become that man. However, the heaviness of the play, the preponderence of death, and the lack of comic relief makes it the least interesting to see0 * rocrp ‘Henry V’ on the other hand has a much better balancing of the comic and the serious. Once again the acting was excellent although Douglas

~a& interpretation of Henry emphasized only the flamboyant and high-spirited side of the character. ’ Especially good acting was put forth by Gaetan Labreche as the Dauphin and, Jean Gascon .as King Charles VI. * ** ‘Twelft h night’, the comedy among two histories, was first of all funny, especially the third act. The actors all played their parts well and there seemed nodistrubing weakness in the entire play. Brian Petchey as the foolish knight Sir AndrFw Aguecheek deserves special mention for an excellent performance. ._ ‘* 8 * That completes the Shakespeare at Stratford this year butis certainly does not complete the list ofperforinances. ‘The last of the Czars*, ‘Dance of death’, and “Don Giovanni’, are all being performed. The Royal Winnipeg Ballet will also be there with a production of ‘Rose Latulippe’--a century-old Quebec legend. The afternoon concert series provides still another art form being presented at Stratford withsuchnotables as Leonard Pennario, Jose Iturbi, Phyllis Curtin, Duke Ellington andhis orchestra, Leonard Rose, the George Shearing Quintet, and Oscar Shumsky. Also the National Youth Orchestra under Walter Susskin, Jean-Pierre .Pammpal and Mario Bernard are being featured.
