the additional sum. Matthews replied that that sort of suggestion was, in reality, a form of bursary system, such that students in need are given special compensation for their financial position. He pointed out that the university is forbidden to use its government grant funds for such a purpose, saying that the real responsibility for that sort of assistance lies with the OSAP program. Federation President Dave McLellan said, “We are against it for three reasons: there are no OSAP changes eliminating parental contribution, but are based on ‘actual’ earnings; the

level of student unemployment is the worst in the country for any single segment of the labor force, and there is no effort on the part of the government to change this situation - students must pay for their own education ; the proposal contradicts the Provincial Government policy of. universal accessibility to post-secondary education.” He then insisted that the BOG refuse to implement the $100 increase. The Board of Governors then voted to implement the proposed increase. A second delegation spoke to the Board on the matter of rent increase. The Steering Com-

The Science Society is holding its general meeting Tuesday, February 15, in room 252 of the Bio-Chem link, next to the Sci-Sot office. The aim of the Society this year is to boost participation of the members within the. running of the society. Sci-sot president, Wayne Halpert, said, “Most first-year students tend to feel that there’s some sort of clique in the office, and are hesitant to take part. But, this year, we put in a mag’ azine rack and a typewriter for the general use of the students, in order to encourage people to drop in to the office.” . The aim of the Society, according to Halpert, is to funnel all of the Society fees back to the students. The best deal of campus right, he claims, is the Science semi-formal. The tickets for it are $12, which includes
free drinks before the meal, wine with the meal, and music by the group, ,Opus II. The meal itself, according to Halpert, costs the Society $2.50 per plate. But the Society plans to lose money on all its activities, in order to give their members a deal. An example of - this policy is the wine and cheese parties that they regularly give. So far this, according to Halpert, Sci-Sot has lost $700-800 on these parties, because of their habit of buying a wide variety of meats, and kaiser buns. The Executive of the Society is not always in the office, but they still make arrangements so that it stays open as much as possible. When an executive member is not present, the office is often staffed by other concerned students, in the hope that they will carry on next

year. There was an attempt earlier in the year to set up a coffee and doughnut stand, as many of the other Societies have done, but, says Halpert, there just wasn’t the space in the buildings, nor the manpower to run it. This is what the Society executive hopes to remedy at their General Meeting, by getting new blood into the Society workings.

Erratum The Editor,

Dear Sir, I would like to protest the fact that the Graduate Club Notice of Elections did not appear in the January 28,‘ 1977 issue of your paper. It was submitted to you on January 20, 1977 well in advance of the deadline. I consider this to be a very serious error. Yours sincerely, Melanie Campbell, Chief Returning Officer
This was originally the end of the BOG story on page one, but l told the author that it could not be included in a news article. lt was then submitted as a separate letter. -r.b. dear eddie; ’ Could anyone tell me why a couple of members of the Federation Council attended Tuesday’s Board of gover. nors meeting, and put forth a suggestion that can only tend to foster an indication that the students of this campus are only more disorganized than thev actually are? Larry ’ Hannant, a Graduate rep. and Heather Robertson, a representative (sic) of Environmental Studies, of which I am a student, instead of helping to present a solid front to the Board, .only sabotaged the whole fight by suggesting that there were some students on campus who were able to afford the proposed increase. * In last week’s free chevron, the fellow who signs himself with a Chinese name (who are you, boy?) wrote in a -letter accusing the real chevron of attempting to split the university by faculty. I can only hope that the same person, who is sup-
posed to be a staff member of the “true” student newspaper will recognize the proposals of his fellow staffers as exactly what he wrote about’ last week. If we, as students, put it to the powers-that-be that the students cannot afford a tuition increase at this time, we are speaking as a body, in generalities. To make an addition to our protest that some of the students can afford it only brings up the thought in the minds of the Board that maybe things are not all that bad, and lose any hesitation they might have had about bringing the increase into effect. In last year’s election, I was one of the votes that helped to put my “representative” into office, but 4 know ,of at least one vote which will this year go .elsewhere. Chicken Man

WATSFIC (the University of Waterloo Science Fiction Club) has started its second year of operation. WATSFIC attempts to provide its members with a means of exploring the fields of science fiction/ science fantasy/comix et al. Some of the ways in which we attempt to meet those objectives are by publishing a fanzine (Starsongs), by bringing in SF movies (our next movie, No Blade of Grass, will be on February 21)) keeping a computer list of books members are willing to lend and by maintaining a club library. Regular meetings are held every Monday. The next one will be’ held in M&C 5158 at 7:30 pm on the 7th. Meetings are used to exchange information, views and to plan activities (like movies or speakers). Full membership is open to any student, faculty member or staff member at Waterloo University. Associate memberships are open to anyone else who cares to join. Cost of membership is $1.00 a term which entitles the member to discounts on movies etc. Current executives are Randall S. McDougall (President), Dennis Mullin (Secretary) Bill Flowers (Treasurer). Mail can reach WATSFIC at M&C 3038, University of Waterloo, WATERLOO. We also share the phone number 8864510 withmath Sot.

The Association had been formed in an extremely-short period of time last weekend, but, within that same weekend, the had gathered the organizers of one tenant for signatures each of 90% of the 584 units in the complex. The others were not home. They then met with Matthews the Monday, and discussed various reasons for the proposed 13.8% increase with him. “We couldn’t see why the projected $45,000 deficit couldn’t be spread over two years, instead of the one”, said Norris. At ‘Tuesday’s Board of Governors meeting, the Association proposed that the rent be increased by 9% for next year, and an additional 7% the following

The Association is calling a General Meeting for February 15 to solidify the Association, elect officers, and draft a Constitution.

staff member will simply pass a light pen over each book’s bar code, and also over a similar code on the identification cards of library users (students, professors and others). Almost instantly, a computer will record that the book has been borrowed and who borrowed it. As a by-product, the computer will store an up-to-the-second record on each of the more than l,OOO,OOO books in the UW library (plus microfilms, records, etc). If someone is looking for a particular book he or she can refer to the record and find out instantly whether it’s in or out, whether there are additional copies, and where they are located. These records will also be of help to professors and librarians interested in spotting weaknesses in the UW book collection, or planning the purchase of new books. The new system will keep track’ of requests for books that are out on loan, so the requests can be filled automatically as they are returned. It will also store information on the users; library staff members will be able to tell instantly if a would-be borrower already owes money in unpaid fines. The cost of the new system, including the computer, the computer software, the terminals, light pens, book labels, and so forth, will be about $100,000, according to Murray G. Shepherd, university librarian. In addition, it will take an estimated 50,000 hours to label each book and prepare the computerized records. UW is purchasing the system from Geac Computer Corporation Limited, Toronto. Gene Damon, UW systems librarian, is in charge of the entire project.

His victory has to be attributed though, to his campaign comthe Campus Reform mittee, Group; the majority of the group is from the Math faculty, and it was the overwhelming support from this faculty that provided him with the margin of victory. Of the 11 separate polls, Thompson won only four of them - Math, Science, I.S., and the off-campus mail.

paign workers of the second and third-place candidates of starting a recall. We witnessed a couple of months ago, how effective this procedure of removing a President can be. In fact, it was on this basis that one of the candidates, Mark Wills, demonstrated his concern for protecting students’ rights, since he was one of the organizers of the Roberts Recall petition. It was apparent very early that the race was between Thompson and McDonald. In fact, because of the order that the polls were being counted, the early returns indicated a sweep of the election by the current ’ Arts President. McDonald had a 30 vote lead before the counting of the Math and Arts ballots. It seemed to become almost applicable that the final decision of victorv
presidential
should be determined by the relative strength of each candidate’s strongest poll. But Thompson’s 132 vote margin in the Math faculty left McDonald with a 102 vote deficit to make up in his home riding. McDonald won in the Arts poll, but only by a total of 52 votes, which left Thompson with his cliff-hanger victory. The surprise of the entire would campaign, however, have to be the candidate that the other three did not take seriously, John Tromp. His campaign was unique, to say the least. He came right out and said that students could do nothing to stop tuition increases or education cutbacks. But oddly enough, the Board of Governors last Tuesday proved him to be right.

Club
Elections Monday for Board of directors The Grad Club recently helped to get the last 10% increase in T. A.‘s and is presently investigating the daycare situation. Because not all seats on the Grad Club board are filled and the lack of free time among grad students in general, the Club has not involved itself in all that it might have wanted to. Some ideas presently being tossed around are: finding short term accommodation for arriving grad students ; expanding Gnosis and/or publishing a bi-weekly newsletter; forming a health insurance group: offering a scholarship ; providing more social activities - movies. pubs, speakers, summer BBQ’s. Stratford trips, ski trips, etc. There is presently a move underway to remove the grad representation from Council.
The Grad House elections are being held Monday, Feb. 14. These are not elections for Council representatives, but merely for the Grad House Board. It seems appropriate to inform the grad students about .what the Grad C/lub does and would like to do. Besides operating the Grad House (famous for its cheap beer) 1he Grad Club sponsors Reception Nights, does printing (including theses), publishes Gnosis, can get you on charter flights, provides lists of typists and babysitters, supports departmental grad students associations, and provides legal aid support. It has representatives on the President’s Advisory Committee for Graduate Support (makes recommendations about levels of T.A. and scholarship funding) and the University Grievance Committee.

These Hagey Lectures going. Dr. Selye believes that man is made to be an altruist; series were established at the University of Waterloo in 1970 to that he should not accept imposed values of money and power onto honor the contributions of Dr. J.G. Hagey, one of the founders himself. The aim of life is to do good; to leave the world in a betand first President of the University of Waterloo. Dr. Hagey ter condition after death.

The wise founding of the University in 1957. saying of “Love t h y neighbor The purpose of the Hagey Lecas thyself” needs translation : tures is. to bring to the University people must have proof of it. Peoof Waterloo an outstanding in- ple cannot love on command; dividual who has distinguished people may be willing to sacrifice himself in some area of scholarfor something small, but there is ly endeavor, to deliver a series no love when sacrifice is involved of lectures in person. It is hoped on a large scale. Love must be that individuals will be selected earned. This altruistic code is whose work has cut across trabased on egoism, humanism, and ditional disciplines and whose character. ideas have profound implications It is with this background that on the intellectual discourse of Dr. Selye prepared his address in an effort to show that there is our times. Dr. Hans Selye reiterated the such a thing as a natural code of behaviour based on the laws of the inscription that is on the entrance of his Institute of Stress in Monhard sciences. Hence, Dr. Selye treal : “Neither the prestige of studied stress. He believes that subject, or power of instrument, man’s first objective must be to learn how to cope with the stress or extent of intellect, or planning of discovery can substitute for of adaptation to change as such, keenness of your approach or or- both in our work and in our soiginalty. ” Discovery through cial goals.

This very well. is primarily created by recent STRESS WITHOUT DISTRESS progress in mathematics, physics, chemistry, and engineering with Selye advocates a motivational code of “altruistic egoism”. This its resulting industrial implications : computers, automation is based on his 40 yrs. of clinical and extraordinary acceleration in and laboratory research on stress the rate at which people and inand the mechanisms the body uses
formation travel and after the world. Dr. Selye believes that the study of man’s responses to stress and to change is the only way that leads out of the jungle of conflicting judgements about right and wrong, justice and injustice, in which our sense of values has become entangled and obscured. Dr. Selye supported his ideas about stress by biologic research into the great laws that regulate the body’s resistance to any type of injury and help to maintain life in the face of all kinds of adversity, particularly during periods of excessive stress. Dr. Selye used objective laboratory experiments, in order to show how his findings might help formulate guidelines for natural human behaviour. A definition of stress is required: stress is the nonspecific response of the body to any demand made on it. The term nonspecific needs explaining. Most drugs make unique demands on our bodies, that is, they exert specific actions. For instance, insulin reduces blood sugar. Yet, whatever their specific effects, they all have one common denominator: they produce an overall nonspecific reaction that calls for adaptation to a problem, irrespective of what that problem may be. Further, there are many analogies in everyday life where highly specific things or events share the same nonspecific feature. For example - a house where there are heaters, refrigerators, bells and light bulbs which respectively produce heat, cold, sound and light in a most specific manner, yet to function they depend upon just one common factor - electricity. Distress results from prolonged or unwaried stress or frustration. To keep stress from becoming distress, we must have not only the right amount but the right kind for the right duration. Therefore, it has been observed that each of us has an optional stress level. To illustrate the evolution of his stress concept, Dr. Selye showed a slide containing a diagram of stress. Dr. Hans Selye, in his medical school days, noticed that patients who were ill all-betrayed similarities: loss of weight, loss of appetite, muscular strength and ambition to accomplish anything and the facial expression betrays illness. Therefore, Dr. Selye discovered the “syndrome of being sick.” In order to find the mechanism of the syndrome of being sick, Dr. Selye studied ovarian extracts. While seeking a new ovarian hormone, he injected extracts of cattle ovaries into rats to see if their organs would display unpredictable changes that could not be attributed to any known hormone. Three types of reactions were noted: 1) the cortex (outer layer) of the adrenal glands became enlarged and hyperactive; 2) the thymus, spleen, lymph nodes and all other lymphatic structures shrank; and 3; deep, bleeding ulcers appeared in the stomach and upper intestines. Being closely interdependent, these changes formed a definite syndrome. Dr. Selye realized this was an experimental replica of the “syndrome of just being sick?’ Adrenal enlargement, gastrointestinal ulcers, and thymicolymphatic shrinkage were constant and invariable signs of damage to the body when it was faced with the demand of meeting the attack of any disease. T h es e changes became recognized as objective indices of stress and furnished a basis for developing the entire stress concept.
Dr. Hans Selye published the result in Nature (July 4, 1936) as “A Syndrome Produced by Diverse Nocuous Agents.” Subsequently it became known as the General Adaptation Syndrome (G.A.S. ) or biologic stress syndrome. Dr. Selye discovered three stages of reaction to nocuous agents. First, there is the alarm reaction or “call to arms” of the body’s defensive forces. Secondly, upon continued exposure to any noxious agent capable of eliciting this reaction, a stage of adaptation or resistance ensues. There is a difference in reaction between the two. For example, during the alarm reaction, the cells of the adrenal cortex discharge their secretory granules into the bloodstream and thus become depleted of corticoid containing lipid storage material; in the stage of resistance, the cortex becomes particularly rich in secretory granules. Whereas in the alarm reaction, there is hemoconcentration, hypochloremia , and general tissue catabolism, during the stage of resistance, there is hemodilution, hyperchloremia, and anabolism, with a return toward normal body weight. But after more exposure to the noxious agent, the acquired adaptation is lost again. The animal enters into a third phase, the stage of exhaustion, which follows as long as the stressor is severe enough and applied for a sufficient length of ‘time. Dr. Selye pointed out that the triphasic nature of the G.A.S. gave a first indication under constant stress, exhaustion eventually ensues. Dr. Selye also expounded on corticoids. ‘Through time living beings have learned to defend themselves against all kinds of assaults through two basic mechanisms which help us put up with aggressors (syntoxic) , or destroy them (catatoxic) . The corticoids are the most effective syntoxic hormones. The best known of this group are the anti inflammatory corticoids, such as cortisone and its artificial synthetic derivatives, which inhibit inflammation and many essentially defensive ii-nmune reactions. These are being effectively used in the treatment of diseases in which inflammation itself is the major cause of trouble grafted foreign tissues (ie. kidneys). The main purpose of inflammation is to localize irritants (ie. microbes) by putting a barricade of inflammatory tissue around them to prevent their spread into the blood, which could lead to blood poisoning and death. However inflammation itself can be experienced as’ a disease when a foreign agent is in itself innoxious and causes trouble only by inciting inflammation. Thus in many patients who suffer from hay fever or extreme inflammatory swelling after an insect sting, suppression of defensive inflammation is essentially a cure, because the invading stressor agent is not in itself dangerous or likely to spread and kill. In the case of grafts, it may even be lifesaving. Dr. Selye believes it is useful to distinguish between direct and indirect pathogens. The former cause disease irrespective of our body’s reaction, whereas the latter produce damage through the purposeless defensive responses they provoke. Example of a direct pathogen: patient exposing hand to boiling water, damage will occur irrespective of his reactions. Example of an indirect pathogen, are allegens which do not themselves cause disease but are damaging only by stimulating an inopportune and harmful fight against which is innoxious. Furthermore, in the area of
4, 1977
immunologic reactions, Dr. Selye expounded more. When, in the case of many allergens and heart transplants, etc. - the attack against the “foreign” agent is unnecessaryor even harmful, man can improve upon the wisdom of Nature by suppressing this hostility. However, if the aggressor is dangerous, the defensive reaction should not be suppressed but increased above the normal level; for example, by catatoxic substances that carry the chemical message to the tissues to destroy the invaders even more actively than would normally be the case. In essence, these scientific observations show that there are two roads to survival : tolerance and fight. The former is generally more advantageous. Dr. Selye hence formulated his personal philosophy of conduct from these scientific observations. The philosophy, which I stated at the beginning of the article, about achieving one’s highest aim in life. Dr. Selye believes that there exists a deep-rooted biologic need for the ‘completion and fulfillment of our aspirations, but people must also know how to handle these in harmony with our particular inherited capacities. Not everyone is born with the same adaptation energy. Disciplined and mutually advantageous collaboration and teamwork are suitable ways of adaptation. The strength of the team depends upon collaboration between its individual units. Dr. Selye believes that the natural code of behaviour that he has outlined, based as it is on nonspecific mechanisms of adaptation - comes closes to what can be offered as a general guideline to conduct. In wrapping up this particular ’ lecture on stress, Dr. Selye showed a picture of President Nixon before and after his election. The stress of Watergate had aged Nixon tremendously; gray hair, puffed cheeks, receding hair lines, innumerable wrinkles. His body had reacted physiologically to his stress. A clear example of stress and distress. CREATIVITY
AND SCIENCE
“If it’s impossible, it can be done! ” Raison d’etre: what is possible has been discovered already so it is possible now, but what is impossible still has to be discovered. So, discover by creative dreaming. In the classical science manner, the definite plan, the intellect, and what is usable is the basis of scientific research. Dr. Selye stated emphatically that he did not believe it. He believes in the creative dream that inspires, and from which the scientist, through logical thinking, use of information, instrumentation, development of the idea, analysing of it with tools and with scientific colleagues can bring the dream to reality. Dr. Hans Selye quoted Louis Pasteur: “In field of observation, chance favors only the prepared man.” A person must discover where his chance lies and be prepared to discover it and develop his chance. Dr. Selye elaborates on this’form of sci method through examples of sci discoveries by Banting, Fleming, Sley and Elliott. ’ Dr. Hans Selye wrote a book, pream to Discovery about great discoveries from dreams. He states that it is essential to make a great discovery from a great dream. It is a creative process to dream forward into the un- -’ known. Dr. Selye stated thd science is crystallized creativity and is more related to art than logic. According to Dr. Selye, the pure intellect is 2nd rate quality of mind. The creative intuitive, pro’

t ‘Stress without d jst.res(’ cess is first rate quality of mind. The best utilization of the mind is intuitive, and the using of the subconscious for constructive purposes. One must fish out from the subconcious to the conscious the dream and use it for science. Usually only one or two dreams are worthy to be brought forward to the consciousfrom the subconscious and brought to reality. It is important for a person to accomplish their aim.
tween seeing and discovering. For example, America was not discovered for mankind by the Indians, nor by the Vikings who came in the tenth century, but by Christopher Columbus who established a permanent bridge between the new and the 01 d worlds. It is the process of unifying, the “creative synthesis,” be it even of longknown facts, that alone can promote true understanding and progress.
The tragedy of contempqrary society in modern science is the influence of Bacon, who invented the scientific method. The Baconian method is very hard to coqbat for it is taught in all the schools. Other methods of scientific method are hard to do. Dr. Selye believes that Bacon inhibited creativity because of his speci. fied procedure of intellectual ideas of reliance on furnishing proof. Hence Bacon never had any discoveries. Dr. Selye further reiterated that if a scientist had known the Baconian method, he would not succeed. Whereas had he not know Bacon, he would succeed. Dr. Selye expounded briefly on the role of the schools today. He believes that the apprenticeship method is the best. For example, if Einstein knew all the parts of a car but was unable to drive it, he could apprentice himself to a taxi driver who would teach. him how to drive. Dr. Selye believes that creativity and science are not really taught in school; that a person can only learn through apprenticeship ; ie, a sculptor has an apprentice sculptor. A person learns through experience books. and practice ; not from Dr. Selye made a distinction be-
The essential difference between seeing and discovering is illustrated by the development of insulin, the pancreatic hormone with which we treat diabetes. Dr. Selye outlined the case very well. In 1889, the German physiologist, and his associate, Minkowski, Von Mering, surgically removed the pancreas in dogs and thereby produced diabetes. They did not, however, realize that the disease resulted from a lack of pancreatic insulin, and their finding did not stimulate much progress until 1922, when the Canadian, Frederick Banting, and his co-workers extracted insulin from the pancreas, and showed that this hormone can actually abolish not only the Minkowski type of experimental diabetes but also spontaneous kinds. Dr.- Selye further relates the story of the unfortunate Sley, the French physiologist who had performed experiments similar to Banting’s. Sley had described them in a private communication deposited in a sealed envelope with the Societe de Biologie. Only in 1922, after Banting’s publication, did Sley permit his letter to -be opened. It fully supported his claim to have first found

insulin. But he received little credit. AS Minkowski remarked during an international symposium on diabetes, after Sley protested against the injustice of it all, “I know just how you feel. I could have kicked myself for not having discovered insulin, when I realize how close I came to it.” Dr. Selye felt that it is malpractice, criminal to allow people to die all these seventeen years when Sley had a cure for diabetes. Therefore Sley illustrated that he not only failed to discover insulin but he also proved that he could not do so. By chance he saw it, but he did not discover it. br. Selye further related the fact that the habit staking claim to discoveries is over. This fact is welcomed by him. The great discoverer of penicillin; Alexander Fleming, was the father of antibiotics. Fleming observed that penicillin can kill varieties of disease-producing microbes, at dose levels tolerated by man. In his lab in London, England, Alexander Fleming conducted an experiment. He put some bacteria on a netri dish which after awhile turned white. But one spot had no bacteria. A mold was produced which was subsequently called penicillin. Fleming repeated the experiment and the same mold appeared. Upon further investigation he discovered that the mold extracted could be used to kill bacteria. Fleming took his idea to a scieritific journal that refused him to write that he had discovered penicillin. However, Fleming wrote
his article and said he had extracts of penicillin from a mold that might be useful for man. Hence, in this way, his ideas came across to the scientific community. One immediate use of Fleming’s penicillin was the appliication of this antibiotic in World War II. According to Dr. Hans Seyle, Fleming had the genius to see what was happening and follow up his discovery. Although his find of penicillin was due to negligence, he recognized what he could do with the extract. The find was purely. accidental, it was not a planned discovery, and he did not need intellect. The scientist Elliott in England, by a creative dream was able to solve his theory of nerve endings, that little droplets of fluid are dropped and the heart stimulated. Elliott wondered how he would test his theory. One night while he was asleep he had a vivid dream about the solution but could not remember it. The second night he had the dream he remembered it and wrote it down. The dream consisted of a lab ‘experiment with two frogs’ hearts. He was to take two frogs’ hearts because they are resistant and they beat a long time. Method was: Take the two hearts connect them by tubes and by veins to get the blood flowing. Then make sure the nerves are separate from each other. Keep the hearts in saline solution. Then Elliott stimulated a nerve, and the heart was stimulated. The impulse went through the blood and triggered some chemical which stimulated the heart. And if heart A was stimulated then heart B was stimulat-
ed also. This experiment by Elliott was labelled neurohuman transmission. This is in the neurophysiology branch of medicine. Elliott was able to recognize his discovery and bring it to reality. A creative dream was his answer to a problem. In Dr. Selye’s concluding remarks on creativity and science, he talked about creativity. He said it transcends logical thought and usually employs the intuitive process. The subject a person studies through a creative dream is a subject that the person created. Dr. Hans Seyle believes that originality is very important. As his inscription states on the entrance to his Institute of Stress in Montreal, “Keenness of your approach and originality.” Dr. Hans Selye was a very profound speaker as I’m sure others who heard him speak, will attest to that fact. He is a warm, witty man and a very gyeat scientist. The university of Waterloo was pleased to have him here and wish him all the best of good health and happy birthday. janet rokosova

The room, 2012, is located in the PAC and is adjacent to the squash courts, next to the weight room. The Letterman’s club, which is a branch of the Men’s Council on Intercollegiate Athletics, is responsible for the room and hopes that it will promote sport on campus as well as intersport communication.
riors win each of these games in order to maintain a hold on second place and the opportunity to participate in the OUAA championships next weekend in Sudbury. The Warriors also have competition on Saturday, February 5th at 10:00 a.m. when Brock arrives for a two-game make-up match.
Out of the total of eight games to be played this weekend, Waterloo must win at least six in order to earn a berth into the OUAA finals. The CIAU National Championships will be held at Waterloo February 24 and 25 and the Warriors will compete as the host team.
Women gai ining ground on men in sports SYDNEY (ZNS/CUP) - Women are gradually catching up with men in competitive sports and may equal them in the near future, according to an Australian geneticist. Dr. K.F. Dyer says a study of male and female athletic performances in 15 countries indicates that lack of sports opportunities, rather than physical differences, have ke#t women lagging behind men
I in sports competition. He notes that women were not permitted to enter the Olympic games until 1928 and points out that women have been steadily gaining ground on their male counterparts ever since. Women’s times trail men’s by only six to 10 per cent and if that trend continues the two sexes could soon be equally competitive in sports, says Dyer.

Grads hold The Graduate Club held its Annual General Meeting on Thursday January 27th and, unlike Federation General Meetings, the entire agenda was covered. Lasting from 7: 50 to 11: 23, it was the longest A.G.M. in recent history (last year, the meeting lasted a little more than an hour). Attendance was also better than in previous years, with about 80 members there in person and a further 140 represented by proxies. The Chairperson of the Graduate Club, David Scott, opened the meeting by stating that any motions arising from the scheduled discussion about graduate representatives on the Federation council would be ruled out of order. Mr. Scott cited a by-law of the Club to the effect that notice of the general nature of discussion at a general meeting must be posted at least two weeks prior to the meeting. This was not done in the case of the discussion on graduate representatives at the Federation, which was a late addition to the agenda. Mr. Scott noted that the by-law serves to protect people who sign proxy forms before the addition to the agenda, and thus could be mis-represented on the issue in question. The Treasurer’s annual report was given by Nick Redding. For the third year in succession, the Graduate Club will be left with a cash surplus of $10,000. Mr. Redding pointed out that $4000 of this surplus must be placed in a depreciation fund, leaving a real surplus of $6000. In the past, this money has been allowed to accumulate so that the Club has the resources to remain stable and active in the event of hard times. However, this accumulation can be curbed, and a Finance Committee has been established to study ways of expanding the Graduate Club’s activities which is made possible by the availability of money. Motions to authorize the payment of the Club’s auditor, and to change the fiscal year from March-February to SeptemberAugust were passed without much ado. Then, a motion to amend the by-laws governing elections to the Board of Directors provoked some heated discussion. For the purpose of annual elections, the seats on the Board are divided into constituencies on a Faculty basis. Each constituency has a quota of Board positions, and the by-laws state that if there are more nominations in a contituency than there are seats then there must be an election. The election must take place even if the total number of nominations to the Board (over all constituencies) is less than or equal to the number of seats. Thus, for example, if there are ten nominations from, Mathematics (which has five seats) and no nominations from other constituencies, than an election would eliminate five of the nominees resulting in a Board with five members (the Board has 23 seats). The amendment read that if there are no more nominees than there are seats on the Board, then there will be no elections *under any circumstances. Speaking for the amendment, Melanie Campbell (Physics) said that the Board has always had difficulty finding members. She maintained that it would be foolish to refuse vacant seats to interested people because their constituency was over-represented, Ms. Campbell pointed out that it is Board policy to give vacant seats to anyone who wants them unless there are more applicants than there are vacant
seats, in which case an election is held to fill the vacancies (this has never happened). In the example above, the five nominees who were eliminated could join the Board immediately after the election, the result being that the election was a waste of time and money. Speaking against the amendment, Jules Grajower (History) said that no one should be allowed on the Board unless he/ she is elected, and that the c/onstituency quotas should be stiictly adhered to. Mr. Grajower noted that an under-represented constituency would be unable to gain full representation if their seats were occupied by other constituencies. This argument was countered by the observation that the Board has a high turnover of members, and it is unlikely that such an exclusion would actually occur. A roll-call vote on the motion was requested, and the amendment was approved by a vote of 142-84. ’ The President’s report was given by Bob Pajkowski. In his report, Mr. Pajkowski spoke of the need for Graduate students to participate in issues that are of a general and non-local nature, as well as issues in the community that affect graduate students directly. He quoted the expression “You can’t see the forest for the trees” and observed that non-local issues constitute the forest whereas the community issues represent an individual tree. Mr. Pajkowski concluded by making some observations and suggestions, to wit: (1) Administrators and politicians are people. Approaching them as such will produce far better results than regarding them as foes or antagonists. (2) Student politicians should concentrate on part and deemthe “student” phasize the “politician” aspect. Introducing ideologies and political affiliations into the realm of student government is in the short term an unsound practice and in the long term can prove disastrous (note the mess the Federation is in presently). (3) The Graduate Club should not be hesitant in getting involved in off-campus issues that affect graduate students, e.g. daycare. (4) Development of the Canadian Union of Graduate Students and the Ontario Graduate Student Association should be strongly promoted. The Legal Aid Administrator’s report was givenby Nick Redding, in the absence of Bruce Ebanks. Mr. Redding reported that the Graduate Club will give a student up to $15 per term for legal expenses, and that more money is available if the issue is of concern to all graduate students. The Graduate Club maintains a legal aid fund (which currently stands at $6000) and the fund receives $0.50 per term from each graduate student. The fund is intended to finance the legal aid program entirely from interest earned, and this will be possible when it reaches about $10,000. During 1976, 21 cases were subsidized at a total cost of $360. The report from the Chairpersons of the Graduate Committee on Graduate Student Support (GCGSC) was given by Jerome Krauel. The GCGSC provides representatives to the President’s Advisory committee on Graduate Support (PACGS) which consists of three graduate students, the Vice-President for Finance and Operations at UW and two associate Deans. This committee makes recommendations to the President of UW regarding graduate support levels. Mr. Krauel listed the main activities of the
general
meeting
PACGS during 1976 as the recommendations to increase the rates of pay of teaching assistants and the level of the UW scholarship fund by 10% each (accepted and implemented in May, 1976) and a survey of the incomes of graduate students at UW, with emphasis on students who receive less than $500 per term. The PACGS has also discussed the possibility of establishing a minimum level of support for graduate students, but the UW administration does not consider the idea very seriously. Subsequent to Mr. Krauel’s report, a motion from the floor was passed, to the effect that the AGM requests the UW administration to institute adequate rent controls at the university residences. This motion was motivated by the proposed rent increases at the villages, Minota Hagey residence and married students apartments. The House Manager’s report was given by Ed Lackner. The report cdnsisted of a reply to a letter from the graduate History Forum criticizing some prevalent conditions at the Graduate Club. Mr. Lackner stated that the problem of smoke would be lessened by the acquisition of “smoke eaters” - devices that rid the air of smoke. The lack of wall decoration could be dealt with by putting up prints, and the Club has recently acquired a four-panel painting for the reading room. The painting was done by a local artist at a total cost of $500. The condition of the furniture will be improved over the coming months by new purchases, since the current furnishings are quite old and well-worn. The Chairperson’s report was given by David Scott. Mr. Scott feels that although the Graduate Club is an unqualified success financially, it will be judged in the future on how it uses its money and influence. In terms of representation, the graduate students enjoy the most per capita representation of all students at UW. However, the representation is under-utilized and if more students don’t take advantage of the opportunities to make themselves heard, they will surely lose what is now taken for granted. The report on the daycare investigation was given by Nick Redding. The Graduate Club, in conjunction with the Federation
* 1p

- page 9
of Students, will present a brief to the Regional Health and Social Services Committee in an attempt to have reversed some regional policies which discriminate against students. These policies are ( 1) the exclusion of graduate students from daycare subsidy, without regard to means; (2) the limit of three years of subsidy to full-time undergraduate students; (3) the unrealistic treatment of co-op undergraduate students under which their incomes appear inflated and they are continually moved around on waiting lists, thus being effectively excluded from subsidy. Mr. Redding said that the Region has set some bad precedents with respect to legalizing discrimination against students in the area of social services. The Region must be shown that they cannot get away with it. The report from the Chairperson of the Finance Committee was given by -Nick Redding. The Finance Committee was established to consider long-term financial plans for the Club and to suggest and investigate ways of expanding the Club’s activities in the light of the surplus money that is available (about $6000 per year). Mr. #Redding mentioned a student scholarship, graduate student dental and health plans, a bi-weekly news letter, funding of Departmental Associations, a paid social convener and providing temporary accommodation for incoming graduate students as possible avenues of expansion of the Graduate Club. Suggestions from the floor on this subject included bringing speakers in and establishing a hardship fund for graduate students. Mr. Redding said that any graduate students who wish to participate in the, committee’s meetings are welcome to do so, and should contact him for details of the meeting times. The discussion of graduate representatives on the Federation council (who needs them?) opened with a motion to adjourn the meeting. This motion was withdrawn when it was pointed out that an important item under other business would not be covered if the meeting were to adjourn. The Chairperson, David Scott, explained that the Board of Directors of the Graduate Club has written to the Federation request-
ing that the latter update their by-laws to eliminate graduate student representation on the Federation council (two seats are reserved for graduates at the moment; one is held by John Lee and the other by Larry Hannant). The Board feels that the graduate representatives do not represent the common interests of the Graduate Club and the Federation, and that the two organizations should appoint liaison officers to each other. Jules Grajower (History) made a statement opposing the replacement of graduate representatives by liaison officers. He said that to eliminate graduate representatives would break all links between the graduate students and the Federation, and that liaison officers would be ineffective and no better than ambassadors. Mr. Grajower maintained that graduates and undergraduates face many common problems, and the graduates should continue to be represented even though the present setup is messy and unsuitable in the long term. He said that the way to resolve the relationship will become more clear as they deal with these problems together, as they must. At this point, a motion to terminate the discussion was made, and a roll-call vote was requested. The discussion was terminated by a vote of 123-105. Under other business, Nick Redding stated that he has been acclaimed to the Campus Centre Board.. He did this so that the position of Graduate Representative would remain available by proxy. David Carter (History) volunteered to take up the position. The AGM adjourned at 11: 23 p.m. to the Graduate Club, where everyone consumed large quantities of free wine, beer and food. --nick

The starting five all had a good game while Windsor just couldn’t manage to keep up. Final score: 84-82. This puts the Warriors in a three way league tie for first with Windsor and Guelph. The two-point win could be a big one. If Waterloo ties for first with Windsor their one-point edge would give them a home court for the playoffs. Waterloo plays Laurier Golden Hawks Saturday in the PAC.

The fund, presently over $lO,000, is used to provide a bursary for a third or fourth year UW student who has financial need, an exemplary academic record, and achieved a high level of accomplishment in extra-curricular activities. Last year’s recipent was 800m runner Joan Wenzel. Set up originally by a lump sum donation, the fund receives revenue every year from the proceeds of the annual Mike Moser Memorial Basketball Game, in which the warriors play a team which will provide exciting action for the fans, and provide the type of basketball that Moser used to play.

Hunger Banquet and Fast, Feb. 14 In conjunction with Ten Days For World Development, a nationwide programme focusing on issues of global concern, a group of students and faculty are organizing a 10 meal/3 day fast from noon February 14 to supper February 17. It will be ended with a “Hunger Banquet”. Those not able to fast for the whole period are invited to miss any amount of meals up to the maximum of ten. We hope to individually become aware of the dilemma of world food maldistribution and to share our concerns with others. We invite you to become involved either through direct participation in the fast or through sponsorship on a per meal basis. Money raised will be used to support projects overseas. Donations can also be sent to K-W Overseas Aid - Direct Aid Fund, c/o Global Community Center, 94 Queen St. Kitchener, Ont.

Waterloo’s basketball Warriors continued to give their fans some thrilling moments in Wednesday’s action against the Manitoba Bisons. Fourth ranked Manitoba and fifth ranked Waterloo fought to the last second in the 3rd annual Mike Moser Memorial and Waterloo came away with a 70-68 victory. Bob Yuhasz’s two pressure free throws with one second left gave the Warriors their first win this year against Manitoba in three starts. The Warriors never played better defensively. Lou Nelson with 15 and Mike Visser with 14 rebounds each controlled the boards from the start. Pat Brill-Edwards’ checking job on Number 1 ranked Martin Riley held Riley to 21 points and several sloppy passes. Brill-Edwards did all right in the scoring department himself with 13. Top scorer for Waterloo was Lou Nelson with 18. Pictured are Mike Visser and Ted Darcie as well as numerous Manitoba players; hot for the rebound.

Sexism Add recreation to those areas in which Ontario women still suffer sex discrimination. It’s well documented in a report rebently prepared by Dr. William F. Theobald, chairman, department of recreation, University of Waterloo. The report, “The Female and Public Recreation,” is the result of a study he and Donna Doherty, research assistant, have been involved with, supported by the Ontario Ministry of Culture and Recreation. Dr. Theobald’s report discusses discrimination under two main categories : ( 1) Recreation facilities and programs are not *as readily available to women as to men; (2) upper level jobs in recreation are dominated by males. As for the facilities and programs, Dr. Theobald’s report cites a number of inequalities. For instance, a study of recreation facilities in Toronto showed girls were alloted 130 hours for physical recreation while boys were alloted 254 hours. Girls had 98 hours for arts and crafts, against the boys’ 69 hours, but overall the boys get a much better deal. Ringette (played almost solely by girls) associations have experienced “tremendous diff iculty” securing ice time, the report notes. There is reluctance to reduce the’ existing male hockey programs to make room for the ringette programs. “This argument is spurious,” the report emphasizes. “Public recreation is supported by taxpayers and it is there for the good of all, male and female alike. If facilities have become dominated by males over the years it is discriminatory to refuse to change now. ” Dr. Theobald found most recreation - administrators -- agreecommunity recreation resources ought to be available equally to both sexes, but they admit this is f not happening. This, he concludes, is because the administrators await for the public to demand a service, rather than take the initiative and offer it. “It is obvious that discrimination against women does exist,” the report states. “In many cases this discrimination is long-

This weekend, Director of Men’s Intramurals, Peter Hopkins and a group of seven students including such notables as Tom Graham, Bill Kyle and Janice Crago and other members of the Men’s and Women’s Intramural Council will be attending the Student Intramural Conference at Erindale College in Toronto. Over 75 students from schools all over Ontario will be in attendance at the conference that was first started eight years ago by the University of Waterloo’s Intramural Department. The Student Conference brings forth recommendations which are then presented to the Director’s Conference held in April. Over the years, the Student Conference has proved an invaluable source for the Directors in solving problems that arise in all forms of Intramurals ranging from the High School to the University level.
Some of the highlights of the conference will be featured at a later date. Tomorrow, February 5 at the Elmira Curling Club, the Intramural Department presents the men’s Silver Boot Curling Tournament. Eight teams will compete on Saturday starting at 3:00 p.m. The Letterman Award Mixed Bowling Tournament is also being held on Saturday, February 5 at the Waterloo Bowling Lanes starting at 1: 09 p.m. On Sunday, February 6, the Ground Hog Ring Road Relay takes place on campus.

When the game ended, the Summer Rats had won 45-36. and apologies were forthcoming. It was good to see that most of the players were able to forgive the officials and their opponents. The A league game of the week was Alufahons vs Engineering. In a close tightly-fought, battle, Engineering squeaked by Alufahon 42-41. By no means a onesided affair, the lead changed hands several times and the score was always close. In B league, we had a new basketball power as the first Chinese u Student’s Association team defeated Nuts and Bolts 46-44. Although not top quality basketball, this is the beginning of a winning streak for C.S.A. as they have finally assembled a respectable team. I look for them to clinch second place in their division. Next week - a rundown of the teams that remain undefeated.
