Partm nt residents in told to get out -
Students living at Waterloo Towers were given 72 hours notice on Tuesday to vacate their apartments. It was the second time withinaweek that the students had been ordered out. A.N. Abraham, president of Heboto Management Services in Toronto, the management firm responsible for the building, served the notices verbally. Abraham and building superintendent Austin Streatch toured the apartments Tuesday. They aretrying to enforce eviction letters sent two weeks ago to all 40 single undergraduates living at Waterloo Towers. The students were being evicted because their rooms “had beenfound in a dirty and disorderly condition*’ and because of “reports and evidence concerning disturbances in the building, which are in breach of terms of occupation of this residence”, according to the letters.
---------
The semi-completed building has been continually subjected to malicious damage. Obscenities have been marked on corridor walls and elevators and milkboxes have been kicked in. Loud parties bring frequent complaints. Abraham and Streatch, determined to root out the problem, blame student tenants. Students, however, say the management is discriminating against them. The rear doors of the building cannot be locked and children from the street have been seeninside. There is no proof that students are guilty, they say. No one has ever actually witnessed the vandalism being done. WiIlia Jack, one of the students affected, said on Tuesday that he and his roommates were going to sit tight and ignore A braham’s warning* “He and Streatch came around he told us that he wouldn’t accept our check,” said Jack. “Whilehetalk-
& to US he kept looking around the apartment but he didn’t comment on its condition.” Jack said that Abraham told thein to be out by Thursday or he would come back with his lawyers to charge the students with trespassing. “If he comes back with his lawyers we will simply refer them to our lawyer,” he said. Jack said he didn’t believe any students had left yet. The Federation of Students’lawyer, Orlin Wood, has advised thestudents to fight the notices. He will be available to them for advice. Mike Sheppard, a Student Council rep, is working with Wood on the case. He was appointed by Council to look into cases of landlords discriminating against students and to try to fight them through thecourts. “If he takes it to court with a trespassing charge, we’ll fight him”‘said Sheppard.

EngSoc’s unusualcomputergets prize by Ian Morrison Chevron
staff
36-24-36-oFlash-The Engineering Society has developed a revolutionary form of computer outputgirls. The society’s float of a YBM 6869 computer incorporating this feature won second prize in the Kitchener-Waterloo Centennial parade on Saturday. The float’s backers, the U of W Tenth AnniversaryCommittee, expressed complete satisfaction with the large yellow-andblack model. The float spewed out computer chips from one end and Waterloo lovelies from the other. Smoke bfllowed, wheels whirred, recorded computer noises blared, and a set of yellow-and-blue lights flashed a “67 ” sign.
Despite a slow start Cen-Sation ‘67 ended with a bang. The biggest fireworks display in the history of Waterloo county flooded the sky with sounds and colors for.30 minutes. See stories on pages 3 and 11.

The move of the College of Optometry Toronto to U of W seems to please affected, in spite of the short notice. The change, effective in September, was announced last wee&. Of the 78 students moving, only 10 are from Toronto, so for the rest the change will not be great. The university housing service will help in finding off-campus housing for the students. When the move was announced to alumni at a convention in Montreal this week, they were enthusiastic, said the present dean, Edward Fisher. “The college has a strong alumni ,” said Fisher, “‘and Waterloo will get their support.‘* Bob MacKenzie, a Kitchener resident who will begin third-year optometry in September, felt his reaction was typical when he-said, “I think it’s a good thing. The facilities will be better. We were in an old building and the equipment was old.” from those

He did not think his classmates would be worried about coming to a smaller city. “It% big enough.” Except for the inconvenience to the ten students whose home is in Toronto, he thought it would make little difference. The optometry students were left pretty much in the dark about the planned move, MacKenzie said, although rumors had been thick for the last year. “At final-exam time they finally said we would probably be going to Waterloo and not to renew our leases if we had apartments,” he said. Married students with children were the mostanxious to know where they stood. “Another thing they told us was not to worry about housing in Waterloo,” MacKenzie said. *‘They told us, VeYl get things arranged,’ but I sort of suspected that was a lot of crap. I couldn’t see how it would be so easy.”
meeting
MacKenzie was also asked if the optometry students would want to join fully into the U of W Federation of Students@ activities, and pay its annual $22 fees. “I think most of the optometry students will want to take part in everything they can. I’m quite sure we’ll decide as a body to joid He said the college while in Toronto had many of its own activities. Although it WAS not directly part of theUniversity of Toronto, some students took part in U of T activities including intramural hockey. The school will be housed in a rented building in Waterloo, probably for the first three years. The university presently hopes the old Waterloo post office, King andDupont Streets, will be available. Since patients and already-practising optometrists are needed for clinics, this building’s location on the main trolley route is an advantage.
its Waterloo The basement of Waterloo Square and a building on Weber Street North are also being considered. As of this fall’ the College of Optometry will be uprooted from its Toronto site and will Join Waterloo, becoming the School of Optometry within the faculty of science. The present location of the college on St. George Street is needed for a new $42-n-& lion inter-university research library. Of the 1500 optometrists incanada, over 800 are graduates of the College of Optometry. The move to Waterloo makes optometry an integral part of a university for the first time in Canada. .Dean W .A E. McBryde of science, since the optometry school comes under his faculty, is responsible for coordinating university service departments for the new school--such as physical plant and planning and office . services.

Councilbriefs
Getting
. Grimhousingcrisislooms Student Council was informed by Mike Sheppard, St. Jerome’s rep, that the University of Waterloo is on the verge of a housing crisis. This fall 3800 students will require off-campus accommodation% Council learned at its June 24-25 meeting at the Village. This is a rise of over 1,000 from last year, and the university housing service cannot guarantee any increase in housing over last year. A resolution was passed by Corncil asking the provost for student affairs, Prof. William Scott, conduct a door-to-door canvass to find persons willing to accommodate university students m “This program could be called LogWaterloo,” one councillor sug“No--Waterlodged!” said gested. another. Council then passed an omnibus resolution calling on the Federation of Students to conduct housing surveys a advise students on their legal rights when renting apartments and apply pressure on the university to take remedial measures. Pressure was immediately applied when councillors passed a resolution calling on the university to provide residence accommodation by 1970 for all out-of-town freshmen and an equal number of seniors o
Council also recommended that registration be frozen at afiguredouble that of on-campus residents. . Ross McKenzie, Federation treasurer, announced that the Federation is receiving funds before the actual collection of \ student fees. He also announced that the Federation has been incorporated since April 27. l Helga Petz, senior secretary of the Federation has been granted a salary increase because without her the student politicos couldn’t run the place. l The Federation has finally set down its policy on fraternities. The Federation declared in a resolution that students may form an organization without needing university approval. However, F ederation approval is mandatory. The Council went on to declare that it will not recognize any club which discriminates on the basis of personal characteristics o Such decisions may be appealed to the judicial committee. l Council blasted the University of Waterloo’s athletic department in a resolution that called for handing over responsibility for allathletic programs to a proposed boardof athletics to be set up undertheFederation. The motion suggested that
such a move would require a reduction in the field of intercollegiate sports. . Athletics were further attacked when councillors demanded that ancillary enterprises--such as the bookstore and food services--be required to break . even independently of one another. 0 Council also passed a motion deploring the way the registrar’s office deals with human problems. 0 The executive of Council is still looking into the possibility of purchasing an aircraft for the Federation. l Treasurer McKenzie submitted policy statements on budget preparation and budget submission which were praised by themernbers. l Council finished off its day of attack by tilting against Premier John Robarts’s Tory government by condemning the failure to place a student on the board of governors of the University of Western Ontario. l President Steve Ireland and councillors Tom Patterson (arts), Bob Cavanagh (engineering), and Chalmers Adams (Renison) have been appointed to the Federation committee on the quality of education. Sanjoy Banerjee (graduate engineering) and Jack MacNicol (arts) have been appointed to the Univer-
The housing situation in the fall is going to be tight. The housing office, under Mrs, EdithBeausoleil, would appreciate everyone’s help. If you are living in an apartment now and will be moving out at the end of the term, please contact the housing office at 744-6111 local 2586. This office will supply up-to-
date lists of all accommodation available. The university is planning an advertising campaign in KitchenerWaterloo to encourage more homeowners to rent out rooms to students. Bus service may also be Edtended to make farther areas of the Twin Cities more accessible,

Highschool students are planning to invade the campus on October 27. Enthusiastic replies have been received from some of the 200 Nghschools invited to visit Waterloo on the Friday of Tenth-Anniversary Week, said Brian Iler, Civil 3A, chairman of the decennial commitller’s office sent invitations tee. to the Toronto, Ingersoll, Hamilton, Barrie, Owen Sound and Goderich districts.

Because they had expected a failure rate of about 20 percent, Village officials allotted 19 non-existent rooms to male students. There are still 10 empty womens’ rooms. Half of these rooms will likely go to students in the Optometry school. Vinnicombe also clarified several problems with conference delegations at the Village.

The overall failure rate for Village residents last term turned out to be only eight percent. Thisfigure is for those who applied for fall residence. Broken down, it gives: men 10.7 percent and women 5.9 percent. By faculties: Arts 4.5 percent, Engineering lQ, and Science 12. “‘After house byhouse breakdown, there was no correlation between marks and damage and discipline problems ,” said Cail Vinnicombe, assistant Village Warden.

For example, a ‘Introduction to computing” a‘computing text originally selling for either $765 or $7.85 has been reduced to $6.90 However at least one book has gone up in price.

computer is Canada’s largest
The University of Waterloo has a new computer-one of the largest and probably the fastest in Canada. A new IBM system 360 model 75 computer was recently installed in room 211 of the math and physics building. The internal cycle speed of this $2=million machine is about 20 times faster than the present 7040 or 360 model 40 systems. The $&OOO,OOO cost has been spread over a five-year period. The Ontario government will pay 85 percent of thedownpayment and subsequent monthly payments untilJuly 1968. The university must then apply for another grant. The university is responsible for the remaining 15 percent. Currently the model 75 operates as a larger version of the 7040 and
can handle most of the programs now operative on the 7040 with only The 7040slight modifications. 1461 system will be returned to JBM Eventually systems operative on the model 75 will include Watfor, Assembler F (Assembler for 64K-l for about 65,000 positions in memory) and the OS/360 Disk Sort, as well as other available systems on request. Remote terminals infuture buildings are under consideration. Along with the rest of the math faculty the new computer will be moved into the math and computer building, probably in January 1968.

Dave Swayne, grad math’ Co-OP admissions-committee chairman, said that 90 of 260 applications received for the fall term are from f r&men. There are 226 vacancies in the Co-op for the fall. Swayne said the admissions committee is in a strong position this year to pick and choose the Co-op’s membership because of the housing shortage.’ “The first thing the admissions committee did was define the purpose of the Co-op.” said Swayne, “With this purpose in rnind we can select people we think will be good Co-opers .” Swayne outlined the purpose of the CO-op as these: “TO give students low-cost housing, SOCM and personal freedom, to teach them responsibility, and to give them an opportunity and facilities for involvement and interaction within the framework of the Co-op, the un,& versity and the community,” he said.

‘“For all their regulations Luthera higher illegitticy an has rate than the Co-op’s “’ said Al Wood, Co-op manager. This week the Co-op asked permission to post signs at Waterlootheran advertising among the elementary-school teachers taking summer courses there. Permission was refused. ’ ‘“We have a tendency not to take things lying down at the Co-op,” said Wood. “We sent a few boys down and parked some signs all around.” Last winter some 35 to 40 Of the 226 co-op residents were from Waterlootheran. ~

The Village is not accepting any repeating students this fall. “If a person’s poor academic standing carries over to his behavior, then we will consider his application very carefully,“said Swayne. Committee member RickMocarski, math lB, stressed that people whom thk committee thinks will make good Co-opers will get top priority for admission. The Co-op is planning a $29million expansion on Phillip Street with four single-student and four married-student residences.

On the big day, I managed to find myself at the Mormon youth conference dance at the Village hall. The Latter-Day Saints are quite a bunch. They don’t drink, smoke, have coffee or coke, and that’s only the beginning. Incidently, the coffee and soft drink machines at the Village coffeeshop were out of order during the weekend for some mystic reason. Perhaps by proverbial act of God. A group of us civilians were talking to a couple of genuine Liverpool girls who became Mormons when they arrived in Canada. They weren’t too enthused about the restrictions but were happy otherwise. This situation reminds me of the number of British immigrants who are sold encyclopedias just after arrival or the number of foreign students who have Volkswagens. I guess the Mormonshave the third stall past customs, just after Encyclopedia Britannica and Volkswagen. 0 WORDS A-ND ENDS: If the theme song at the Village is ‘Put all your faith in the Pill’, then at St. Jerome’s it has to be ‘I got rhythm’.

We are proud of the University of Waterloo. It has earned the respect of its most demanding peers. We are now the third largest university in Ontario, and the tenth largest in Canada. Our engineering enrolment leads the nation.
In ten years $55,000,000 has been invested in buildings and equipment, a large share of it with local contractors and suppliers.
SJudents spend an average of $1,000 each per year in addition to tuition. That will mean $7,200,000 worth of business for local merchants in the next year.
The University of Waterloo operating budget for the coming year will be over $20,000,000. More than two-thirds of this will be spent in Waterloo County.

Probably he likes young people in general and probably he has nothing against Boy Scouts, Canadian University Service Overseas or the Canadian Union of Students. But then there’s the other group. “This little band of malcontents ,” he calls it, “this unhappy breed, is a dangerous and disgusting growth and those who spawned it should put and end to it--quickly and mercifully.” “Its utterances ,” he writes, “appear to be scarcely-veiled calls for civil disobedience, for the overthrow of society a-s it now stands, for the denigration of all thevirtues and achievements of society.” And its members? “Some.~.are nothing more nor less than beatniks, out to tear down Canada and its way of life.” If this is true, then they’re tearing down Canada with the government ‘s blessing and the public f unds . The man is talking about the Company of Young Canadians, a Crown corporation. It’s been two years since the Company was first introducedinthe Speech from the Throne. It’s been two years in embryo, two years figuring out how to be relevant to the mood of Canadian youth, two years trying to stay onthe tightrope between Boy Scout and beatnik, two years trying tole‘gitimizesocial activism and two years ducking shrapnel from Parliament, the press, the boys who call it beatnik and the beatniks who call it boy scout. Two years--and 66 volunteers in 30 projects, in the outports of Newfoundland and British Columbia, in the big cities and small towns ofthe
east, across the Prairies 9 putting social action into action on $35 a month plus room and board. The Company’s organizing committee, after a six-month study of youth, reached two conclusions: l that the generation of Canadians now coming to maturity was unusually aware of the menace implicit in the perpetration of social fnjusy tices ; l that an increasing number of young people wished to involve themselves in a term of voluntary service with the aim of participating in the solution of difficult human and social problems and, in the process, opening up opportunities for their own self-growth. On a foundation of these tenets, the Company was brought inlto exist&ace by an act of Parliament, hailed as a “good thing”, given unique freedom from Parliamentary control, a first year’s budget of $1.2 million and then dropped from public consciousness until the first day of Centennial year when the press discovered a handful of CYC members in a demonstration outside the U.S. consulate in Toronto. The Company’s image has deteriorated ever since. F or volunteers and staff memhers, there has been a ternptationto pass off journalistic (.and even Parliamenta ry ) criticism as what-elsedo-you-expect-f rom-the-other-generation. But as public criticismhas grown into a dangerous distortion of what the Coqpany is about--hurting the flow of applications in the process; in effect 9threatening the Company’s existence--this attitude has changed. The Company is an experiment, a recognition by government of the growing dissatisfaction among young people and of youth’s demands for social change and the right toparticipate--now -- in the course of Canada’s future. It has a role to protect--its relevance to the expression of the total Canadian youth communiv and the gap it spans between government, establishment, and one generation and the demands and goals of the next. With the public suspicious of its intentions 9 with the right wing calling it red and parts of the left wing liberal, the calling it small “1” Company has clung evenmore closely to its tightrope, skirting all‘polftical attachments 9 new and old. At the moment 9 Company recruiting teams are visiting campuses
across the country, looking for potential volunteers and explaining to a largely ignorant public what their organization is about, It is as much a part: of the Committed Generation as the civil rights movement of the American South. It is committed to fundamental social change, to social betterment 9 to participatory democracy, to community organizing, to reaching people left behind in the rush of a thingrich nation. It’s recruiters are looking for young people who are tough, who have reached beyond an awareness of social problems to the point of asking how these problems can be solved: bad schools 9 alienation, poverty, unequal opportunity. Eighty-five per cent of its members are between 18 and 25. Half the folunteers have post secondary school education, half have a background of church work. Threequarters have worked their summers as camp counsellors s youth leaders and teachers of retarded and disturbed children, A quarter have been associated with such organizations as the Student Unionfor PeaceAction. The c0mrnunitie.s they entered& vited them to come in. They are working not as leaders or good deed-doers but as catalysts and social animators, assisting people to identify their problems and work to their own solutions. They are inslum c0mrnunitie.s 9Indian reserveS 9 the Arctic, fishing ports, rural shacktowns. And they are starting to see a few small results from their work. On one prairie project, for example, the two sponsoring agencies wanted the volunteer replaced by a staff member because they dlalmed he was not doing enough to represent the agencies. The people in the community took different view. “We like him,” saida spokesman for the community association, ‘because he comes in the back door, he sees us doing our ‘washing or dishes, He listens and helps us with the problems we feel are important. “The agency people come in the front door.” The volunteer stayed. His community has organizd itself into a voice of people working together. They’ve started their own community newsletter, they have block chairmen, they’ve learned how to use the press, they’ve become a pressure group at city hall. They’ve found out how to enrich democracy.

In quality, the performances ranged from the boring to the invigorating, f ram unimpressively amateur to very nearly professional. The festival was the first underof the new Kitchenertakillg Waterloo Folk Arts Council,and was a remarkable premier. In spite of the excessive length of some of the the poor acoustics performances, which made some choirs virtually inaudible and the pall of gloom which prevented a few groups from even pretending to enjoy themselves, the overall impression was good. In particular, the Alpine Club, Ukrainian, and India-Canada Dancers made the evening worthwhile. They actua& seemed to be having fun while performing. The Concord& Choir, supported by a proficient orchestra and conducted by U of W musicd.irectorAlfred Kunz, sang especially well. In spite of its faults, which should disappear in future, thefestivalwas well worth attending.

300 puppeteers invaded the theater of the Arts last week. All belonged to the Puppeteers of America and were participating in a series of demonstrations ,lectures and professional and amateur performances. Puppet festivals have been held annually since 1936. The 1967festival hosted by the Ontario Puppetry Association is the first ever to be held outside the U.S. Ken Wyndham of the OPA, the festival chairman, was responsible for bringing the festival to the University of Waterloo. Puppeteers from Ca,nada, the United States, Mexico, Poland,France, Russia, and Czechoslovakia attended. They came to learn new techniques and ideas, to watch professionals and to meet other puppeteers. Some represent puppet guilds from larger cities; others areprofessionals from puppet theaters; most of the rest are amateurs who enjoy making puppets as a hobby. Each morning, lectures and demonstrations were given on the techniques of performances, the ele-
merits of drama and music for PUPpets. Daily professional performances at 2 and 8 pm were open to the public. ‘Puss in boots’, presented by the Toronto guild of puppetry, officially opened the festival. Monday evening Daniel Llords of Llords International in Los Angeles presented ‘Concertheater’. Both performances featured marionettes. In ‘A show of hands’ Tuesday evening, no marionettes appeared, The hands of Carol Fijan cleverly served the purpose. The Spijl and Hurvinek Puppet Theater of Czechoslovakia presented “Pantomines of mimodrama”, a series of con&c skits, the first half of which werein French. Two other features of the festival were the exhibits and the store.The exhibits included puppets from ‘The merry wives of Windsor’, posters from the Soviet section of Unima (Union Internationale des Marionettes), and Chinese shadow puppets. The store was stocked bythepuppeteers with puppetry aids and all sorts of puppets--marionettes, stickpuppets, handpuppets and shadow puppets, costing up to $75.

George Orwell once wrote of Rudyard “It is no use pretending that KipKipling: ling’s view of life, as a whole, can be accepted or even forgiven by any civilizedperson. Kipling IS a jingo imperialist, he IS morally insensitiveand aesthetically disgusting.” It is this view that the reader ofDr. Rao’s new study of Kipling’s treatment of India is left with, Rao presents a well-researched discussion of the writings of a man who set himself up as the champion of racial superiority and a stalwart opponent to Indian freedom. Kipling looked at the Indian problem as part of the white man’s burden and presented in his works the sufferings of his countrymen in governing India, while completely forgetting the hardships and humiliations that the Indians suffered at the hands of the British. Rao’s book illustrates this myopic view
with detailed discussions of Kipling’s short stories t poems and novels, Rao gives thorough consideration to biographies and Kipling’s autobiography in showing how he inherited his father’s condescending attitude toward the Indian native and how his journalistic affinities influenced his career. Other critics are thoroughly acknow ledged. (The bibliography is one which s tudents of late Victorian history and literature will find extremely valuable.) Generally, Kipling’s inability to observe more than the surface of Indian life is Rao’s recurrent theme. (Political, social and racial problems received little if any treatRao shows how Kipling had keen ment.) powers of observation: “He can describe an Indian scene with vividness, but he cannot communicate with insight how an Indian thinks, or interpret his behaviour in the light of his way of life.” E But Kipling’s abilities as a poet are not ignored. For example, in his discussion of the famous “‘Ballad of East and West”, Rao shows how structurally the ballad approach-
es perfection. “In its galloping rhythm, vivid word pictures and imagery evoking the spirit of the restless Indian frontier, it favourably stands comparison with oneof Scott’s best ballads, Lochinvar.” But Rao is not overwhelmed by these qualities e “The ballad is anintellectualfailure...it is as unbelievable as picturing the leader of the Mau Mau movement surrendering arms to Queen Elizabeth II and taking up position as her personal bodyguard.” By dividing his discussion into chapters centered on Kipling's youth, his visions of the Anglo-Indian civil servant, the Indian native and “Princely India”, Rao achieves an analysis which is at times devastatingly incisive. However, his concluding chapter “Kim and the Indian Synthesis ” strains too hard to pardon the great bulk of Kipling’s earlier writings as “‘the somewhatirresponsibleexpressions of a self-confident young boy to whom success and fame came too soon.” Rae overestimates the “maturity of n-rind and new perspective on the Indian synthesis ,”
the “disappearance of prejudice” and the “understanding of India” he finds in Kim and thus weakens an otherwise excellent and much-needed study. 0 The Pompeians Ronald Bassett.

London has become a pressure point for a coordinated national drive by Canada’s university student organization to obtain at first a token and later a major voice in the managemen t of Canadian universities. Th eir avowed short-term claim is that most university boards of governors are undemocratic and do not represent’ taxpayers. They hope to use this argument to put an undergradua te student on, each board of governors, s tar ting with Western. Their 1on&range plan, directed by the Canadian Union of Students, in eludes pressures to increase student and faculty membership in the boards until there is eventually a (‘true comof scholars’ J where s tumunity dents share responsibility for managing all university affairs.
Thus begins an editorial, signed by editor William C. Heine, which appeared in the London Free Press on April 1,1967, shortly after the Ontario legislature’s private-bills committee changed a private bill submitted for the university by John government White, Conservative whip and MP for London South. The editorial is being circulated
by the University of Western Ontario. The original bill called for student representation through an elected Western graduate at least one year out of university. The private bills committee changed this clause and opted for direct student representation. Heine refers to this move in his editorial. The editorial goes on to say that: A stude.nt on the university board of governors makes about as much sense as highschool students on a board of education, patients on a hospital trust, apprentices on an in terna tional union’s executive, or civil servants in Parliament.

The rest oftheeditorialcondemns the Canadian Union of Students as the national “secretariat” which directs organized minorities on Can-. ada’s campuses, issues action “‘directives, and is organizfng student protests and planning riots.” The editorial seems to set the tone of the arguments put forth by those who oppose the student voice on the board of governors. A less paranoic view is put forth by UWO’s Dean Hoskins when he asserts that representation on boards of governors is not necessary. Otherwise, he favors the move “when it is in the interests of the students and the university.” Whatever the graduation of feelings opposing theconcept,theyseem to be losing the battle to the forces in favor. The original clause callingforindirect student representation was discarded in the private-bills committee. The argument put forthwas’ that its similarities to apartheid were too close. In South Africa’s apartheid society, black men can be represented in parliament onlyby a white man. A student being
Western student president Peter Larson is understandably upset at the turn of events in the legislature, which replaced the private-bills represented by a graduate bears a striking resemblance. In any case, the debate has not ended. _ By sheer coincidence,thean_ -_ --. nual congress of Canadian Union of Students is slated for nowhere other than the University of Westem Ontario early in September. The subject of the Western debate is sure to come up, at least indirectly i and delegates are assured of an interesting few days. committee amendment with the original motion. He challenged Premier Robarts’ contention that *student representation has not been supported by the faculty: “This is patently not the case. The original draft was prepared by the faculty association and it made unmistakenly clear their desire for student representation. “Although all factions recognize the need for a student voice, they do not explain what they fear from a student voice. One student on a board of 23 members is not likely to control it.” Larson’s point of view has considerable student support, among them the president of theuniversity of Toronto’s student council, who sent university-affairs minister William Davis a letter.
The Western experience, although not unique in Canada, is being care- fully watched by other student leaders, administrations and governments across Canada. The events of the next few months of Western will undoubtedly provide an opportunity for a good deal of airing of positions of both sides in the contraPerhaps, as education minversy. ister Davis says, “‘After the universities have had a chance to disCUSS it, it won’t seem as ignoble an innovation it is now made out to be.”

Can a solution be found to the Vietnam conflict? This simple question has been framed recently by the most-informed people around the world. It is interesting, therefore, to note the great confusion that exists regarding the Many so-called experts possible solutions. as well as much of the popular press have either adopted sirnplisdc solutions as THE answer or have decided to call the situation hopeless and apply the Canadian political answer to all international problems: “Give it time.” The banner cry of the liberals is “Stop the bombing.“--If this were as far as itwent it would be a step in the right direction. The problem a rises when people insist upon putting time limits or conditions on this action. What must be realized in looking for a solution to the Vietnam conflict is that HO Chi Minh and the North Vietnamese leaders firmly believe the United Statesis anaggressor. Whether they are right or wrong is not the point: they believe they are right. TO draw an analogy you need only consider how you would feel if the U.S. invaded Canada to protect its investments. As I imagine we woulds North Vietnam refuses to be threatened into accepting any position or American promises of stopping the fighting for a certain number of days if the North will come to the table and negotiate.

A variation of this stunt calls for the U.S. to secretly inform the South Vietnamese that it is getting out and get them tomake a statement saying they want the Us. to leave. The Americans once again pull out with thejustification that the legal government has asked them to leave and so they should. It should probably be recognized at this point that most of the doves have decided that communism in Vietnam wouldn’t beabad idea right now for all par<des concerned.

Position one on the hawks’ escalation scale, building a figurative wall across Vietnam into Laos, is, I think, just around the corner. Defense secretary McNamara was particularly impressed by the Rand report on the cost of the war and has already alluded to the wall solution in a couple of his speeches. Further speculation would then see the Viet Cong, who are nobody’s fools, carry the war around the wall into Laos where thereis already a fantastic potential for the smallscale skirmishes presently going on there to turn into a full-scale war. Anyway Johnson is going to have some trouble at election time,

because the landlord feels for some reason that students have to prove themselves before they can be permitted to rent private property. It is to situations l‘ike Waterloo Towers that people point when they seek excuses to deny accommodation to students. Thus it is necessary for the student tenants of Waterloo Towers to clear their names. We feel they can do it easily, but the cost will be high if they cannot. Indications are already available to suggest that the student housing problem this fall is going to be one of the worst in our history. Any disaffection on the part of landlords will only aggravate the situation. We hope that the maturity of students in private accommodation, the cooperative residences, and such university residences as the Village will become more apparent to the people of this community so that a major housing crisis can be alleviated through goodwill.

Secretary of state Judy LaMarsh said this was to be the ‘“biggest and best birthday party the world has ever seen.”
The Queen made a token cut into a real cake which had been placed on a plywood mock-up (but it was covered with real honest-to-goodness icing) towering 20 feet into the air. There was a roar of approval from the crowd and then cupcakes, drinks and icecream were passed out to the children.

At Cornwall, scores of boats formed a flotilla which escorted the royal yacht Britannia to Kingston where thousands more turned out to greet her. But her visit had finally to come to an end.

After her performance in Canada, and especially on the minirail at Expo, she has undoubtedly proven that there is still a streak of royalist blood in just about every one of us. As we were waiting at the cenotaph for the Queen’s arrival Friday, a reporter from WFBM in the United State-s was telling me how proud she was to be an American. Then the Queen arrived. kfterwards, the reporter turned to me, tears streaming down her face, and confessed she was proud to say that she was of English descent. And that is why last week, royalty-watching was the most popular sport in Canada’s capital.
