Jom’Bruckler and Elsie Mason display a colorful new d oi W tenth&niverl$ary banner, while Frank Brewster helps - or something. The banners, flanked by blub Canadian Centennial emblems, went up in the arts quadrangle for cotlvocation andwill remain all year. Rehular convocation banners are up all over campus. The bookstore’s selling them for $10.
Big bwilding xsmoothly The present campus buildingprogram is on schedule,. believe it or not. In fact the largest expansion program in U of W’s history is running smoothly compared to previous expansion programs ewhere late starts and lack of tradesmen caused delay’s, said Arthur Lappin of the physical plant and planning departmerit. Most of the buildings presently were started under construction early last summer. Thismadecompletion possible for the fall term. The food-services I building, to contain the cafeteria and bookstore is to be ready by September. The biology addition will be ready for occupancy by late August.
PERSONALIZED
The first bachelor of mathematics degrees in the world will be conferred today at Seagram Stadium. Proud parents from across the country will converge at the stadium to see junior graduate. The faculty of the university will assemble as a body, their rainbow of academic robes and the ancient ceremonies recalling half a milleniutn of scholarly tradition. One by one, the graduating students in plain black gowns will be called to kneel before the chancellor, who will “‘admit you eo this degree.” At the same instant the registrar will drape the colorful hood--whose colors and pattern identify academic rank and alrna mater--around the shoulders of the student. The parents will beam and flashbulbs will pop. Some students either not the type to enjoy ceremony or too far away to return for it, will not attend. If past convocations are typical, there will be a high percentage of names called without response and degrees) granted “in absentia”.

The BMath degree will be presented to students who have completed their courses in the arts or science faculties and requested the new degree after the faculty of mathematics was established inJanuary. As well, several master of mathematics degrees will be conferred on postgraduates. . Two honorary doctorates will be awarded by university chancellor Ira G. Needles.

Several social functions willcomplement the colorful proceedings, including a chancellor’s luncheon for the honorary graduands each day, university receptions after the ceremonies, an alumni-association hospitality room in the VillageHall both afternoons and the Grad Ball at the Victorian Inn in Stratford tonight. At the 1966 convocations, exactly one year ago, 528 degrees were awarded at all levels. This year’s total of over 800 represents an increase of over 50 percent and sets a new high for the university.

on schedule The need for math and computer facilities in the fall calls for completion of the first and second floors of rhal: building by Sept. 15. The building is to be complete in December. In the phys-ed building, delays were encountered at: the start of construction, but it is expected the building will be ready for January 1968. The contract completion date for the campus center is in December. However construction is ahead of this and the building may be completed for October. In addition, landscaping work has starred around the engineering buildings. This is expected to be completed in a few weeks.
Relatively little construction will be under way next year, Threebuildings are presently in the design stage and construction should start this summer : --The arts IIIbuildingwillprovide facilities for theEnglish,historyand philosophy departments o Plans for this building are approved and tenders are to be called next month. Completion date is for fall 1968. --The health-services building and the Minota Hagey Memorial Residence are still in thedesignstage. Completion is also scheduledfor fall 1968. These last three would complete phase 2 of the university’s expansion program.
WEDDING
This doesn’t Watfor sees W atfor got married ! Well, not really, but his originator did. Don Kerr and Mary Robinson, both graduate students in the design department, were married in a unique ceremony Saturday. The two designers decided that their marriage would be more meaningful if they designed it themselves. The ceremony was performed in the chapel of Conrad Grebel ColJege by a Unitarian minister with poems read by Roman Catholics and apoern composed by a rabbi. Don and Mary combined mod and traditional customs:

--poetry and philosophy readings --renaissance music by harpsichord --a mini wedding dress The bride wore a whitedress with the hem four inches above theknee. Her waist-length hair was intertwined with daisies. The groom wore a blue pinstriped Edwardian suit. Don and Mary’s hands were bound by the mmon ofhonor,Wmbo~~~Y representing the conjunction of opposites. The minister raised their tied hands saying: “I join these hands in the symbouc
happen: married sign of the conjunction of opposites, of male and female, of sky and earth, of life and death, of dualism and separation.” Prof. Larry Cummings, Paul Frappier and Peggie Larkin read poetry chosen especially by the bride and groom. At the end of the ceremony, the marriage certificate--both the stancl& pri,nte.d form and a mdevallooking parchment copy hand-lettered by Don--were signed publiclY* Every guest later added his signature.
The design department designed a Watfor wedding on Saturday. Don Kerr and Mary Robinson, both grad students in design, were married at Conrad Grebel chapel in a traditional-gone-mod ceremony.

Co-op residence students made their own fireworks Monday night. Twenty students--both men and women--sat in the co-op driveway and blocked cars leaving the Seaeram Stadium fireworksdisplay. v The cars had been parked in a field near the stadium, acessible only by the co-op driveway. The I students thought the cars were trespassing on the co-op’s private property and decided to protest. They sat for 30 minutes and celebrated the Victoria Day holiday by sparklers and throwingfireI waving crackers. A proposed hootenanny did not develop. A burly policeman who had been directing traffic approached the group and strongly suggested that The students claimed : they move. the cars were trespassing and fin-

4 The bias comes through persons who do not seem to fit into this club for dreary demi-tycoons are the only two persons who it could be said are representative: the alumnus and the gentleman from the Canadian Labour Congress. Only one member of the board lives further away than Toronto or Sarnia. What a cosmopolitan assemblage! The board contains no scholars no medical men, no social workers, no political personages and no educators.
If YOU believed the K-W Record, YOU would picture the board of governors of the University of Waterloo as a group of typical taxpayers. As expected, editorially day, brief on university
the Record last Thursattacked the student government.
The editors scoffed at the proposal that academics should run the university: “‘(the lunatics should operate the asylum”. Perhaps they were afraid the idea was some communist plot like the idea of worker-controlled factories. Oddly enough the Record fails to mention that modern universities operated without boards of governors for half a millenium.
The public interest would be better served by a super-senate backed by an assembly drawn from local &thorities and educators, lo+,, chambers of commerce and labour groups, the churches, and national learned -and professional societies. It is unfortunate that the editors of the Record did not read their own report of the brief which thoroughly described such an assembly.
The worthies at the Record then went on to describe the board as defenders of the taxpayers’ funds. The taxpavers will be surprised to learn who the& piotectors are. Half of the 27 members of the board have backgrounds as manufacturers. Most of the rest are lawyers and other types of business professionals. The only
Perhaps the Record’s hard line against students is dictated by the fact that the Record’s publisher, John E. Motz, is a member of the board of governors.

Walters So, we made the bi,e; time infootball but don’t-get your hopes up expecting us to come on the scene like gangbusters. It will take a few years before Waterloo can hope to be a power in senior intercollegiate foot-a i ball. But never fear. Our day will come. Warrior teams have shown up well in hockey and basketball so there is no reason to believe that after a couple of years we won’t be &vin,i;; Toronto, Western, Queen’s and McGill the what-for. Yep, sure will be good to get at U of T in football. Seems that they’ve got this thing for us in hockey. This thing happens to be the Monteith brothers and about a dozen other 37-year veterans of the Blues. Can it be that the Monteith boys will never graduate? Rumor has it that they now have degrees in law and meciicine and that U of T will be introducing a course in honors Lower Slobbovian next year just SO the dynamic duo doesn’t have to leave. So it% just a rumor but it starts you to thinking, doesnet it? Speaking of Toronto, hearby let it be hoped that we don’t meet those terrible monsters in a pigskin contest before this, our last seasollin the minor leagues. Good grief. Remember that w alloping they gave our team last year? We only lost Terry Joyce, one of the top Warrior defensive backs, and Mike Cheevers for the season. The score was irrelevant--except that maybe it gave our mighty grids ters a bad case of the blues. (When you’re dealing with the Blues, any case is a bad case.) But golly gee, them kind of games we can do without, Methinks 1968 will be just a great time to face them again. Actually, the best thing about being in the big time is that the Warriors don’t have to play Waterlootheran.
While we’re not on the subject of Waterloo’s summer softball spectacle, we might as well mention-with a little more accuracy than last week--what’s happening on the home front. While paging through the Chevron yesterday (for lack of something better to read) we came upon a headline that struck us as written by somewhat of an idot. It, as far as we were able to de&per, was about aces and diamonds, Being the humble gambling soul that we are, we the engineers have no place in which to bat the round sphere. (And we said to ourselves, we said, “So what’s wrong with a pair of two redundancies I now and then?“) And so we lamented in our tearful heart for the engineers. And we struck upon a masterful idea (if we may Say so ourselves because no one else will), Why not have the plu--, whoops, engineers play on top of that thing over there in what used to be known as the engineering quadrangle (before some nasty soul went berserk at the drawing board). We understand that there are even bleachers up there, What do you guys want, anyway? AFTERTHOUGHTS Woe is us. yes, fans, the column is but one week old and we have made a veritable unforgiveable m.isRemember how we rambled on about the K-W took. Panthers last week ? If not, best you read more carefully. In any case, Saul Glober, Warrior basketballstar over the past season, inadvertantly was left off our list of Waterloo students who are lacing on the baseball spikes this summer. YOU must believe that this was inadvertent because (a) we didn’t know about it and (b) Saul was one of the few Warriors who at one timeor another hasn’t been out to get us. Model
