You can drive to the parking are eas, which cost $2.50 a day, and then take the Metro or bus to the site at 30 cents a ride or four rides for a dollar. You can park on the street and take a chance on a ticket (not too likely if you carry out-afprovice license plates--you% get

It’s free--to find it, just ask a policeman. On the island itself, the Expo Express is free point-to-point transportation. The minirail costs 50 cents, the tractor trains 25 cents, boats $1 or so,helicopterand the hovercraft $2 (all round trips). Pedi-cabs are expensive.

peace corps,
Should Ontario have its own damestic peace corps. 3 What can be done to improve and increase residences sorely needed for university students? These were some of thequestions asked as 22 student-council presidents of the Ontario Union of Students met last weekend in Toronto with minister of university affairs William Davis. were assistant Also present deputy minister A. P. Gordon and chairman Douglas Wright of the Committee on University Affairs. Both were formerly of the Univerm sity of Waterloo. Gordon was registrar and later assistant to the president; Wright was dean of engineering. A ma jar topic discussed was transfer of credits from the new community colleges of applied arts and technology to universities. Credits are presently not transferable. A proposal was made for the establishment of a miniature Compr any of Young Canadians for Ontario. Volunteer university students would spend their summers aiding in free primary and secondary summer schools. Thechildren of low-income families would be able to benefit from the experiences wealthier and more educated parents can provide their children--such as visits to muscums, airports and factories. The classes would encourage an interest inotherwisedullsubjects by a new approach. The curriculum was nol suggested. A committee of 12 will study the feasibility of this proposal. It is hoped that the program will befuncthing by the summer of 1968. The University of Western Ontario has already established a similar environmental-enrichment program. Student residences and their problems have found new hope. The&udent Housing Board of the depart-
merit of university affairs was interes ted by the discussions. Government grants for building more reside&s were also prop&d. U of W student-council president Steve Ireland said he and Prof. Wilfor student afliam Scott, provost fairs, may make a Joint appeal to

K-W residents for extra rooms to accomodate fall-term students. Ireland hopes to see the construction of more large campus residences starting soon. “There was a fruitful exchange (at the weekend meetings), esp<cially regarding student housing,” he said.

The body of Hal Wishart, a University of Waterloo student missing since March 5, was found by Toronto harbor police Wednesday in Lake Ontario. Positive identification was made by the student’s father, G.A. Wishart of Belleville, who brought the body back to the Belleville for burial. Toronto police reported no evidence of violence. An inquest date has not been set. Wishart,
18, who was in applied
chemistry lB, failed to return to the university after the March 5 weekend, after boarding a train for Waterloo at Belleville. His suitcase was found untouched near Union Station in Toronto. Police stated that although there were no signs of violence, the body had been in the water for a considerable length of time. At the present time, no inquest date has been set. Wishart’s father requested that no flowers be sent, but suggested that a memorial fund be setupatthe Village, wherehehad livedthis year.
Prof. William Scott provost for student affairs, in reply to a letter from Wishart’s father wrote, “While we do not havesuch a fund at the present time, we feel it is a very thoughtful suggestion. It will be pursued with the president of the university and the Federation of Students to see what can be done.” The letter went on to s&y, “Perhaps a student memorial scholarship could be established to commemorate students with a suitable scroll or plaque in the campus tenter building as a visible tribute to tll~.”

Who is this Toad character? “If people can get in and take books anyhow, why not leave the library Opel1 weekends?” said the Toad as he added the Min-Nova volume of the Encyclopedia Britannica to thestack leaning against the elevator door outside President Hagey’s office. Two of his henchmen and assistants (the membership of the Toad’s group varies) agreed as they lugged in the Third International dictionary between them. The Toad, who says the name res&s from the Toad in the Garden, a mysterious figure who writes in the. co-op residence magazine, the ‘.Toad Lane Review’, feels they have to keep up the tradition of co-op
pranks. Last halloween the co-op painted the U of Guelph cannon with Waterlootheran colors, then painted Guelph on the WUC sidewalk. Chickens were turned loose inawomen’s house at the co-op in another escapade. Last weekend the group released two rabbits in the bookstore, but the kampus hops spotted them. “We’ll trade one KK coat and one KK flashlight for a suitcase smelling slightly of rabbit,” the Toad offered. Prof. Reg. Friesen of chemistry will act as middleman. Alexander Romenco, security chief, had other feelings. “It’s an exercise in futility. I challenge the Toad to justify any of thesethings.”

As the chancellor admits the graduates to their degree, the registrar places a traditional hood around their shoulders. For U of W arts degrees, the hood with a single white band indicates a BA degree while a-double band indicates anMA degree. For the bachelor ofmathematics, there is a maroon band on a green background. Science hoods are blue, engineering yellow.Doctors wear red robes. l

H. Gauvin, research manager of the Noranda Research Center, received an honorary doctor of engineering degree. In a speech Dr. Gauvin said that the creation of an interprovincial office of coordination is needed if significant improvements to Canadian education are to be made. He went on to say that an interprovincial office of education is now being actively sought because it “would permit the radical improvements that are needed.”

As part of the fun-filled Summer Weekend planned for June 15-18, the university Circle K club has organized a unique scavenger hunt. Itwill be tailor made for those who know they won’t be able to find the right exit from the Heidleberg bypass in the car rally. The primary feature of the hunt is that you will be able to scavenge many of the articles only in the midst of leafy, green, shady forests. As usual, points will be awarded for the number of the prescribeditems with which you return. But points are also given for using the lowest mode of locomotion possible--driving a bicycle will give you more points than a car. A couple on a unicycle takes all! A fee of $1 is being levied to help defray the cost of th’e weekend. Prizes will be presented on Sunday afternoon in conjunction with the car rally. Entry forms are available at the Federation building. The starting gate is in parkinglot A. Post time is 2 o’clock on Saturday afternoon June 17. See you there. by Steve

The hero, an ex-RAF flyer now working for an air service operating on a shoestring, has his plane hijacked and is forced to crash high in the mountains. The hijacker, a communist, was endeavoring to deliver one of the passengers, a democrat returning to seize power in his countlqr, into the hands of the Castroites o The pilot and the passengers are left to fight off the communists who have to bridge a gorge to reach them, while a cJA agent leads two other men in an attempt to scale the mountain and reach help on the Other side* This is a stirring tale of danger, heroism and courageous improviz&ion.

The creative-arts board has done. it again. On exhibition in the theater gallery is a collection of the works of Montreal painter Guiseppe Fiore. The exhibition, while it has some excellent works in it! is of uneven quality. This is the same comment that could be made about all exhibitions at the theater gallery. It is about time that someone told the creative-arts board -to go out and find a decent gallery that could provide. us with a collection of works by varied artists rather than a feeble attempt to gather together a group of uneven daubings. My argument is that thecreativearts board-one of the board s of Student Council--is not fulfilling the educative process students arepaying for. The funds for the paintings come from the students’ pockets but the gallery exhibits only nineor ten artists a year. More value for student money could be found in obtaining varied exhibitions from the large Toronto I am amazed at the high galleries. quality of Grad House paintings which are obtained using limited funds. A new approach is definitely needed if the art gallery is to fulfil the educative role it is supposed to have.

The student brief on university government expresses an.interest in university affairs which deserves the full attention of the university community, and its writers should be congratulated for the magnitude of their effort. The brief very effectively sets in train thoughts not only about university government, but about other university activities and the response of students to their whole environment, We cannot afford to ignore its It is encouraging, disturbing implications. and puzzling. A very effective presentation is made of the concept of a university as a community of scholars, and the desire of students to participate meaningfully in the life of this community is forcefully conveyed. This leads to the recommendation that the senate (newly constituted) faculty councils, departments and most committees have student members. The strong desire to participate is most encouraging. What is puzzling and disturbing is the lack of explanation of how the one is supposed to lead to the other, In fact, a first reading of the section on recommendations gives the impression that, when ir comes to details, the university is seen as a community, not of scholars, but of administrators. If this is in fact an accurate representation of the student viewpoint o then our effectiveness as a faculty should be seriously questioned.
-Administration isn’t prima ry Surely the real life of a university is t0 be found in its classrooms. laboratories, studies and libraries. Administration, even of
primarily academic matters, is necessary but not primary. Very little attention is paid in the brief to what departments, councils and committees actually DO and to their real role even in academic administration. The fact of the matter is that the capacity to participate meaningfully in the work of most of these bodies only develops gradually out of extensive informal participation. Even “cardcarrying” PhDs with 8 years of university life behind them, including student council and lecturing experience, take a few years to work into this kind of activity. It is very doubtful that meaningful administrative participation can be got by students in this way. The inexperience of students is handsomely acknowledged, but there is very little indication of any weight being attached to it-certairily it does not show up at all in the list of bodies in which students are to be The brief would have been more members. convincing if it had.
But we can’t discard it If the student brief appears to head in a wrong direction --and even in that direction does not adequately discuss the facts and issues which are involved--this does not justify discarding it 0 Rather it underlines the need for studying the brief and getting at what, lies behind it. The brief is on University Government-9 this justifies its lack of reference to lectures, laboratories and the like, even though it does not justify the argument which proceeds from participation in a general sense to administrative participation in particular. With regard to having a voice, or being a power in policy decisions, one explanation of the weakness of the position which might suggest itself is that it was the only alternative to having no l,oice at all. This is very far from the &se. Students already have, and have already ,nade good use of, extensive means of influencing university policy in areas where their experience is fundamentally relevant. They already serve and vote on committees, present briefs, call on the president and form a major body in the form of a student federation. These means can be used even more extensively and more
forcefully, and can be extended in ways not mentioned in the brief. Even if student membership becomes available as in the recommendations, it is not at all obvious that even the desire for political power (as distinguished frommeaningful participation in the pursuit of truth) can best be satisfied in this way. Both the end and the means are of dubious value, and real alternatives exist: yet these are apparently not even considered, and this is what is so puzzling.
-Just what IS representation? The very meaning of representationitself is peculiar for student populations due to their transient nature: in fact transience (except in extreme cases) varies directly with success! What does membership for a few dozen students mean in terms of representation, and participation by students generally in university life? What does it mean in terms of voting, when candidates are largely unknown and unknowable? What does it mean in terms of either influence or information when, as the brief admits, the representatives should think for themselves, and may find themselves dealing with largely confidential matters ? Student participation in the life of a community of truth-seekers should be first and foremost academic. Where policy decisions are relevant, students can most effectively satisfy their needs by preserving their identity and their independence, by concerting their efforts rather than dispersing them through “representation” and by concentrating their efforts in areas of special interest and where they are experts (in fact there are areas in which students are the ONLY expel-=).
This is not aI local issue What lies behind the recommendations of the brief? One thing seems clear: it is not a local issue. The search for light on this problem leads directly to extensive, and

Students, non-students , teachers, parents , professors, social scientists, politicians -all are having their say. A psychiatrist with extensive experience with university students singles out a small but conspicuous group of “politicals ” in search of identity and seeking it in the here-and-now because of basic insecurity concerning the future. A director of the Company .of Young Canadians speaks his ‘mind’: “ ..Start organizing. Start action....

the terms of reference described a year ago, Waterloo students could follow Fischer’s suggestion--with the aid of a questionnaire’ compile reports on individual professors, which would not be published. Instead of using such descriptions as “pedantic”, rather place each lecturer in one of several well-defined categories o The information could then be used by department heads. For science students, course evaluations would be helpful. Major features of each evaluation could be lists of excellent texts, recent reviews and current progress relevant to each course. A number of students just completing a course could provide a wealth of suchinformation which would save futurestudents many valuable hours of library research.

It was one of their best--all guns booming at those dull and perennial but safe CBC shows that securityconcious executives love. The show ran well overtime, but even after the last satirical barb, the audience-mainly regulars --was reluctant to leave. Despite the CBC’s security cops I was able to get some brief interviews with the stars and the show’s writer. Bonnie Brooks was willingly handing out autographs and June Sampson distributed the odd friendly kiss. Chris Beard’ the lone writer, an Australian, felt somewhat relieved to be rid of the weekly pressure, but still very sentimental. “Nightcap has tried todo somethingworthwhile about Canada, going further in self-criticism than Wayne and Shushe was especially ter ever have”. happy to see his show go off at a peak: a very satirical show, a hot audience, the usual production snags and a few surprises such as the ap-

The prayer that opens convocation ceremonies should be abolished. According to its calendar the University of Waterloo is incorporated as a “non-denominational institute of higher learning . . . “. This must be recognized for the sake of those nonChristians, both atheists and members of other faiths, who receive diplomas. The university is a secular institution and must officially establish no religion or anti-religion. The prayer was used, no doubt, primarily to set a mood of reverence and sobriety. But to those present of other faiths particularly international students from R/loslem, Hindu and other backgrounds - it could only have created a pang of irritation and the sensation of exclusion. To the audience of general North Americans of the post-Christian era, the recitation was meaningless - dusty old words, Those who mumbled scorn to themselves were at least honest, though perhaps rude.

He and Al Hamel, his best friend and co-performer, were both going to the United States because there are insufficient op-7 portunities here.

The un iversity a s an in stitute of our society, although born of medieval Christianity, today iS no longer under its guardianship. The age of Western Christendom is at last finished - a good thing for both church and society. Our society is not Christian, and to pretend that it is - in such ceremonies - is distasteful to both non-Christian and Christian. This anachronistic convocation prayer must be abolished.

There is hope that a local organization may sponsor thk building, perhaps as a Centennial project. Estimated cost is $40,000. “Astonomy at the university has reached the stage in its development where a small observatory is urgently needed,” said Prof. Glenn Reesor of physics o “Enrollments in our astronomy and astrophysics courses have increased from 91 students last year to 132 this year. We also have three students starting graduate work. The addition of Dr. G.A.

In addition, electric photometer. photographic and visual observations of asteroids and comets to determine their orbital elements will also be made. Observations of visual binaries will also be carried out, aided by digitized comparator for fast reductions of photographic material. The comparator has been financed by a National Research Council grant of $18,700. Sketch plans for the observatory are based on a double-domed structure with one dome for the 12-&h telescope and a larger dome for future expansion. The immediate plans for the 12inch telescope are to mount is temporarily in a dome to beconstructed on the roof of the Physics Building, where it can be used by undergraduates, although not for research because of the surrounding lights. If the Bamberg observatory is built, the university’s four-inch telescope would be mounted in the Physics Building dome for undergraduate use on-campus. University president J. G. Hagey said that the university’s present scale of priorities would not permit an immediate observatory. “This is one of many areas of enrichment where the university can be of benefit to the community as well as to its students, if thenecessary resources can befound,” said President Hagey.
