Jack Buchanan called the meet- ing to order at 7.00 and explained the situation he was in, an arts- man and president of the Univer- sity of Waterloo Students Coun- cil (which in reality is made up of engineering and science stu- dents) while actually being en- rolled at Waterloo University College (which is separate from the University).

Dr. Batke: stated that the con- stitution in question had been drawn up last spring with the pre- supposition that the two faculties would unite in the fall.

Jack Buchanan: read the letter from Dr. Hagey which stated that with a few minor changes, the constitution would soon be pre- sented to the board of governors.

Dean Schaus was then called upon to give the arts side of this matter. He said that the basis of this entire constitution presumed federation to be an accomplished fact. He went on to say that the college was still affiliated with Western University and that it had obligations in that direction and that this obligation must be 100%. In the process of negotiat- ing with the University of Water- loo, the bringing in of such a matter as the constitution, would only aggravate the situation and will not help in any clear, un- prejudiced way. While negotia- tions are in progress it would no1 be possible to make any state- ments and that we should wait until this matter is settled; and in due course make our own deci- sions in one way or another. He concluded by saying that he did not see why we could not carry on as in the past, before federa- tion is reached.

Dr. Batke: The work on the constitution was carried on with the presupposition that there would be a federation this fall The council, University of Water- loo, will go on and it is regrettable that federation has not occurred Now it is a question of the stu- dents of the college withdrawing If you are going to be separate then you should be separate.

Jack Buchanan: What will hap- pen to the Board of Publications N.F.C.U.S., W.U.S.? There is muck more to consider than our owr students council.

Question (Engineers) : When

you expect the decision to be made?

Answer (Dean Schaus) : The agreement with Western is going on indefinitely unless either party gives notice, which in the case of the College, might be around June 30, 1960. However, by the first of January, 1960, we should know whether well go into federation or not.

( elusion reached as regards the 5 students fees. Therefore there 7 was contradiction all along and 1 the article about the vote to be 1 taken on November 3, brought 1 this to a head.

1

Question: Are the college stu- dents to be removed from the Council?

Question: If this council carried on as it has, who would stop it?

Answer: Pab could prevent arts representatives from coming to the meetings, if he secured a vote of confidence from the students.

Answer (Pab Machetzki) : We as members in affiliation with the University of Western Ontario cannot enter legally into dealings with another university, we can- not vote legally on the constitu- tion or hold office.

The only solution appeared to be a gentlemans agreement with the engineering and science stu- dents. Jack Buchanan then sug- gested that we have a co-ordinat- ing body to keep the Board of Publications together, in an ad- visory capacity.

Question (Dean Schaus) : Would this group be unconstitutional as a Co-ordinating committee with Jack Buchanan as the chairman and with representatives from other groups on it and that they meet at regular times to discuss natters of mutual interest BUT ;hat the finances be kept separ- ate? As regards social functions, now much would arts and engin- zers contribute? as for Board of Publications-how much could we zet from the arts or engineers? They could take their problems to this committee to be straightened mt.

Question (John Erb): What are we going to do about the finances?

Answer (Jack Buchanan): The soard of Pubs already had its ;hare of the students fee. In iact, a cheque had been handed )ver to U.W.S.C., made up of the students $2.50 fee.

Dr. Batke: The University exists and will have its student council if not today then tomorrow.

Question: Is there any objection to having W.U.S.C. carry on as it has been?

The positions of N.F.C.U.S. and W.U.S. were again brought up md at this time it was suggested ;hat they would probably be two separate organizations or perhaps )e constituted as clubs. There was 31~0 the suggestion that the con- stitution s,hould be tabled till a Later date.

Answer: The arts have no ob- jection except one-the name of the body.

Dean Schaus: There is no objec- tion to a co-ordinating committee but the finances would have to be separated.

Therefore, Gary Morton moved that the name of this body be changed to the Councils of Uni- versity of Waterloo, Waterloo University College, and Univer- sity of St. Jeromes College and that it remain operating as a non- constituted body until the ad- ministration calls for one. Sec- onded by John Erb. 11 in favor, John Beam abstaining. Carried.

Question (Engineering) : Why are the finances to be kept separ- ate?

Answer: Suppose that federa- tion does not mature, then we are left on a limb and the money be- longs to the University.

The question of what to do about the ballots which had been taken by the out-quarter of en- gineering students on the pro- posed constitution came up.

Another suggestion was that the co-ordinating be done by the two separate councils. However without the arts faculty being legal, it was felt that there wa: no point in having a University Council or a co-ordinating body. Ihe position of St. Jeromes was very much the same as the arts position, for they are not yet federated with the university.

John Bratton then moved that the ballots already taken on the proposed constitution be disposed of, without being counted, in any manner which the president of this body saw fit. The motion was first withdrawn, then, after some further discussion was remade and seconded by Paul Koch. Alb- stentions-Gary LMorton and John Beam, the rest were in favor of the motion. Carried.

The question of why a vote was desired on the constitution was brought out. Jack Buchanan stated that the only reason for holding it was to see whether or not the students would back it, As it is, the vote was considered undesirable by the Waterloo Col- lege Administration. Then too, Pab Matchetzki wished to have power over the artsmens fees.

Question (John Bratton) : Bui does he not realize that he is get- ting the short end of the stick?

Gary Morton: Yes. Due to misunderstanding and

inexperience, the minutes of the last meeting had not been sent tc the administration and thereforc

_ it was not advised of the con-

Question: Is the administration of the college concerned about a co-ordination of activities or vot- ing on something which says University of Waterloo. If the vote is held ofI till January would this be suitable or is the adminis- tration interested in splitting apart this body?

Answer (Dean Schaus) : First concern was the taking of the vote, the implications of which are very serious and beyond the understanding of the people here; second, equitable distribution of the finances.

It was moved1 by >Paul Koch and seconded by Gary Morton that one of the council representatives Jack Buchanan, speak to Dr

(Continued page 3, col. 3)

The following is a statement of this Universitys administrative policy as it applies to the current controversy about a proposed con- stitution for a student council Zonsisting of representatives from this University and the two uni- versity colleges that have planned federation with the University.

In the Spring of this year the Legislature of the Province of On- tario approved a private bill in- corporating The University of Waterloo. Appended to this bill, and part of it, were two agree- ments, according to which Water- loo University College and The University of St. Jeromes Col- lege might become federated with The University of Waterloo.

The Board of Governors of the University, its administrators and faculty have anticipated that a Federation of The University of Waterloo would come into being reasonably soon.

In harmony with this anticipa- ;ion (and in spite of the fact that there is now only one minor agreement in effect between the University and the Colleges), the University has been continuing to make its Science Faculty and fa- zilities, its athletic instructors and facilities, available to the College students. Likewise, it has accept- ed the members of Waterloo Uni- versity College Faculty for in-

struction of the Arts subjects that are part of the Universitys curri- culum.

In general, it has been the de- sire of the University to co-oper- ate with the College and extend to it the privileges that it would enjoy under a program of federa- tion.

A successful federation program will be dependent upon future co- operation, trust and respect among Boards, administrators, fa- culties, staffs, and students of all parties in the federation program.

The University greatly appre- ciates the co-operation received from the Colleges to date, and hopes that there will be an in- creasing sharing of interests as work toward the completion of federation continues.

The University is proud of the work that has been done by the students of the College and the University, together with Faculty representative% in coming to agreement on a constitution for a student council. We are pre- pared to submit the constitution as it has been drafted, with a few minor changes, to our Board of Governors for approval. We re- spect the autonomy of the College administrators and Board to take whatever action in this direction they feel desirable.

J. G. Hagey, President.

$1,000 DONATIO DISASTER VICTIMS

In response to urgent requests 1 University Service has a vital role received from National WUS committees in India, Japan and Korea, World University Service of Canada has launched an emer- gency appeal for aid to thousands of students who, are suffering as a result of the havoc created in recent weeks by severe floods, cy- clones and typhoons. To initiate this appeal, WUSC made $1,000 available immediately for assist- ance to students in these stricken areas. Students in every Canadian university are being urged to re- spond generously to local fund campaigns so that this token con- tribution can be substantially in- creased.

to play in providing them with grants or scholarships, purchasing text-books, and supplying other personal requirements, so that their studies may not be seriously disrupted.

In Japan it is estimated that over 5,500 professors and students have been affected by floods which have destroyed more than 125;OOO homes. Epidemics of dy- sentery and typhus have broken out in the wake of tidal waves, creating an immediate need for medical supplies. Clothing and foodstuffs have also been request- ed.

Due to the disruption of com- munications, the extent of de- vastation in these three countries cannot yet be accurately esti- mated, but enough information has already been received to indi- cate the gravity of the situation.

In India, floods and cyclones that are more severe than any in recent history have ravaged As- sam, Kashmir and West Bengal. In Assam, more than 1,000 square miles of land have been engulfed by floods, affecting well over ten million people, while in West Bengal there are two million victims. The Government is faced with an enormous task of rehabilitation, and aid has been solicited from non-official sources, organization and private indivi- duals.

The plight of students in these areas * is desperate, and World

World University Service of Canada has commended the Cana- dian government for its recent action in sending $20,000 to Japan, and has acknowledged its own obligation to the university com- munity of Japan, since govern- mental action cannot provide for particular attention to be given to students.

In Korea, many lives have been lost and property damage is ex- tensive. More than half the stu- dents studying in Seoul come from the districts hit by typhoons, and will be forced to abandon their studies unless aid is quickly forthcoming.

World University Service of Canada will be joined by National WUS committees throughout the world in extending sympathy and material assistance to the disaster victims of Asia.

We are all aware of the fact, that the scheduled federation ef Waterloo College with the University of Waterloo, has not occurred. There has been much controvery and discussion given to this problem by the students of both institutions. This issue of the Cord should outline the situation insofar as student government is concerned. From the administrative point of view, one should remember that Waterloo University College is separate from the University of Waterloo. Fate, however, has placed us a few blocks apart.

Negotiations between the Administrations of Waterloo University College and the University of Waterloo are in effect. The effectiveness of the negotiations is another question.

Should Waterloo University College decide not to feder- ate with the University of Waterloo, and also cease its affilia- tion with the University of Western Ontario, then Waterloo Lutheran University would use its full degree granting powers. The Tale of Two Universities would result.

One can imagine the problems which would follow; especially at the student level. Advertising for publications would be separately solicited. Representatives from the Uni- versity of Waterloo and Waterloo Lutheran University would be knocking on the merchants doors. A few people may, for some reason, become confused. Facilities for student activities would become a definite problem. Student attitudes would regress to the previous level of Arts against Engineering and Science. Eventually the University of Waterloo would establish its own Arts College and the effect of this upon the enrollment at Waterloo University College might prove in- teresting.

If the present negotiations involve only politics, power and prestige on the part of those concerned, it is necessary to submit that their thinking should focus on higher goals: easily gained through an objective approach.

A unified centre of higher learning was planned for, donated to, and counted upon by citizens of this region and elsewhere, to say nothing of the students. What happened?

In the past few weeks it has been brought to my attention that there is growing concern, anxiety and misunderstanding among Arts students as to our position here at Waterloo University Col- lege. In an effort to clarify our position the following information is put forward:

1. Waterloo University College is still affiliated with the Univer- sity of Western Ontario. We are not in any way, shape or form, connected with the University of Waterloo, and therefore we cannot, as I stated at the last Waterloo University College and University of Waterloc Students Council meeting, vote legally to give authority, power or control of funds to a University Students Council, We may however work together under a non-constitutional body composed of Waterloo Univer- sity College, University of Waterloo and the University of St. Jeromes College students, We must, therefore, be prepared to function as an autonomous organization until we have a definite statement about our future from the Board of Governors of Waterloo Uni- versity College.

2. We should not expect this de- cision to be reached for at least another month, therefore any stories or rumours which one may hear concerning a swift merger or affiliation with one University or another should be taken only as stories or rum- ours. No hasty decision will be made since there are several possibilities open to our board, and since the pros and cons of each of these possibilities must be carefully examined and weighed.

3. The Arts Students Council (Waterloo University College) is in the process of drawing up a constitution which will enable it to operate under the condi- tions set down above. This constitution should be ready by approximately the end of Nov- ember at which time it will be presented to the students and the Board of Governors for approval.

1. Since we are aware of the un- constitutional status of a Uni- versity Students Council, and because we feel that the lack of some sort of co-ordinating body would definitely hinder activi- ties at Waterloo University College, the University of Wat- erloo, and the University of St. Jeromes College, the Arts Students Council has agreed to sit on a non-constitutional body

known as the Councils of the University of Waterloo, Water- loo University College and the University of St. Jeromes Col- lege. We will continue to oper- ate on the non-constituted body until such time as the Board of Governors makes a definite statement as to its decision.

CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSION Ottawa, October 30-The Civil

Service Commission announced today the federal government is seeking 6010 university graduates for continuing cmployme!lt and 1200 under-graduates and post- graduate students for summer work.

At the graduate level, students are required from virtually all faculties but mainly from arts and commerce, engineering and agricultural science. Among these are approximately 120 engineers, 100 agricultural scientists and about 200 arts and commerce graduates for assignment to var- ious classes.

There is also a need for a con- siderable number of young people with a background in mathematics and physics for training in mete- orology.

The recruiting program for the administrative classes, such as foreign service officers and junior administrative officers, and for civil, electrical and mechanical engineers is now under way. Other classes, and summer staff, will be recruited later.

As the first step in its program the Commission is sending senior officers to the universities to de- scribe the needs and acquaint the students with conditions of gov- ernment employment.

The starting salaries for grad- uates vary from class to class depending on the academic spec- ialization required. For the most part, graduates in arts and1 com- merce will be offered about $350 a month, engineers about $400. Some students with post graduate training in the sciences will get up to $500 a month.

The under-graduates hired for summer work will receive from $245 to $305 a month depending on the amount of university training they have had and re- lated experience. Some students seeking post-graduate degrees will get more than that.

Among the 1206 to be employed next summer will be approxi- mately 300 under-graduates in Zngineering, 150 in geology, 250 in agriculture and 120 in forestry. evlany of them will be engaged on Field work and survey parties,

Have you not been impressed by the friendliness and informal- ity of Waterloo College? Several students who have at one time or another attended Western Univer- sity have commented to us on this very thing. The Torque Room is a good illustration. Here students of both sexes, all years, different faculties, tend to mix, exchange greetings, joke, and converse.

In the lunch room or dining hall at Western, the situation appears to be reversed. Apparently you wouldnt dream of sitting down with a casual acquaintance even if you knew that he was in one of your classes. The sophomores associate with sophomores, E%ery- one is rather reserved and formal.

The size of Waterloo College (University, University College or whatever it happens to be- we still havent figured it out) is an important factor. Perhaps our in- formality in dress (comparatively speaking) is another factor which encourages this unique spirit of friendliness. As for us, we dont care what factors are involved, what forces are behind the warmth of this college, we just hope that whatever they are, they will continue for this year, the next, and the next.

Now, we may have exaggerated a little in the body of this edi- torial but it is in all sincerity that we say we have been impressed by the friendliness and informal- ity of Waterloo College.

CUES FROM CONRAD Geraldine Duquette

Some excitement in the dorm was caused very early last Sun- day morning by the fire at St. Johns Church. On seeing the conflagration from an upstairs window, several of the girls in their bleary-eyed three a.m. state took it to be only a few doors away and were seriously con- sidering packing in preparation for a hasty evacuation of the hall.

On Tuesday morning we in- dustriously sampled chunks of fudge and packaged the remain- ing crumbs for the Phi Delta Pi candy sale. The specimen of questionable palatability, deliver- ed by a member of the senior resi- dence, remained unwrapped due to their liquid qualities, but not unsampled by the more daring testers among us.

To boost our morale on a dreary November afternoon our house- mother thoughtfully provided us with two enormous platters of savoury doughnuts. Since then our plea has been not Rain, rain, go away, but come again some other day!

PHI DELTA PI Betty Lyn Boyle

Well girls, we made a good twenty-five dollars from our Fudge Sale! This will help to- wards the bursary we want to donate. Of course, if anyone has any more suggestions about rais- ing money for this cause, Dale Perrin will be glad to hear them.

Games Night on Wednesday, November 18, is one date you wont want to miss. This is going to be one of your best chances to get to know the girls who are sharing your college experience. This promises to be an opportun- ity for a lot of gabbing so you will certainly want to be there (in 2ase we talk about you)! Serious- ly, it is going to be a lot of fun. Avanall Grant and Andrene Shearer have a terrific program planned. This will be followed by refreshments in Conrad Hall. See you on Wednesday at 8.00 p.m. sharp in the Dining Hall!

To eat or not to eat; that is the question:

Whether tis nobler in the mind to suffer

The pains and aches of seething indigestion;

Or to take arms against the dirty dishes

And by opposing end them? . . . To ache . . . To pain

No more; and by revolt to say we end

The stomach aches and the thou- sand shocks

Our gullets are heir to, . . . tis a revolt

Devoutly to be wished. To eat . . . to enjoy . . .

To enjoy! Hah tis a dream: . . . ay tis a rub

That is needed to cleanse these dishes which

When they have sloughed off this filth and grime

Must give us joy. Theres an as- pect

That makes calamity of college life:

For who would bear the aches and pains of meals,

The dishwashers wrongs, the dishes grime,

The pangs of indigestion, the cooks

Abortion, and the everlasting pains.

The college student must needs bear

Because he depends on others For his meals ? Who else would

bear our burdens, To grunt and groan because of a

meal Whose prospect is a fate, true,

worse than death, The crowded cafeterias from

whose bourn The student does not return . . .

but rather a man, Sick, paining, despairing, the

need for food, That sustenance of life no one can

do without? Is it malnutrition that doth make

us weak, Too cowardly to overcome the

wrongs Against our gentlest stomachs and

our tastes? But soft, is this a dagger which

I see before me? Come . . . let me clutch thee . . .

argh! Tis but a greasy steak-knife late

returned From the locker in which it once

was lodged. Ah, the fates do but mock us

still, Carry on Cafeteria and may thy

sins be remembered.

Gary Lambert, Enginews Editor.

Before looking at the career op- portunities for todays engineer, we should realize that an engineer needs such characteristics as in- dependence, deep concentration, well-rounded personality, and a sense of accurate observation We might also notice that he is a person who has built a career of analpsis and synthesis out of many years study in mathematics and sciences.

The civil engineer is one who deals with the designing, con- struction and maintenance of pub- lic works such as roads, bridges, tunnels and canals. He is keenly interested in materials for con- struction and the stresses and strains which will act on finished objects, be it bridges, skyscraper or tunnel. His career opportuni- ties lie in fields such as all as- pects of highway, waterway and railway construction, water sup- ply and sewage disposal, airports and water-control dams.

The mechanical engineer deals with the designing of machines for transportation, the manufac- ture of articles, and the manufac- ture of machines which serve man for his convenience. An example of this last section is air-condi- tioning. The mechanical engineer designs and supervises the con- struction of power plants, vehicles of all types, and refrigeration units. His career opportunities may be found in the fields of plant operation and control, per- fection of the internal-combustion type engine, aeronautics including rockets and missiles, automatic machines and atomic power in- cluding atom smashers, artificial radioactivity and atomic and hy- drogen bombs.

The electrical engineer concerns himself with the designing, con- struction and operating of elec- trical apparatus for generation of electrical power, power transrnis-

sion and the ultimate use of this power. There are a great number of opportunities in the electrica: field. He might specialize in com- puting and recording machines radio, television and remote con. trol apparatus, improvements tc electrical welding, the telephone or lighting or solar energy, bat. teries, convertors and heating and air-conditioning. The electrica: engineer might also find oppor tunities in other aspects of the communications field such as tele. graph, electrical waves, wireles: telephony, and teletypewriters.

The chemical engineer whc might findt opportunities in the improvement of foods, food pre* servation, f ertilization or sugai industry. He might also derive new soaps, explosives, petroleun fractions, artificial fabrics, papers paints, glasses, plastics, metal: and alloys. He can by research produce new types of steel fol rocket nose cones, or new type: of rubber which will wear longer or stretch better, or snap bacl into their original shape fastel after stretching.

Mining and metallurgical engi neering offers opportunities tc those who are interested in ex ploration and geology to a certair degree. The mining of coal ant the preparation of coal for mar ket, the mining of metals such ar iron, copper, and aluminum ore the mining of uranium, mine ap praisal, assaying and the produc tion of allosy are some of the op portunities awaiting the minim engineer.

Other types of engineers sucl as traffic engineers, and engineer ing physicists have equal caree: opportunities waiting for them.

The future and its opportuni ties await us when we have decid ed upon our specialized engineer ing career and have completec our formal education.

Would it be the Chemistry labs? erhaps the wonder and surprise )f adding acids to unknown ma- erials, watching the contents of he beaker hit the ceiling, weigh- ng the remains and fmding I nave a 99.9% error could be #errned my best activity. But al- ,hough it is interesting, I would lot say that it was my favourite.

What about the Physics labs? Nhat are interesting subjects for 1 young engineer - building an ammeter! It was the first time I lad ever attempted to build such 1 delicately accurate instrument. [ enjoyed it immensely when the lot wire came into contact with ;he pine-wood base, because a iew minutes later, the entire lab was filled with billows of smoke. Yes indeed, it was interesting, al- though I still cant figure out why Professor Davies wanted me to ;urn off the switch! However, I dont think I would term this as my favourite either.

Could it be the sports? There 1s nothing more wonderful than sitting in the bleachers with a girl in one hand and a mickey in the other, all three of us watch- ing those silly artsmen getting smeared by the fellows from On- tario Agricultural College. True: this is a very happy occasion but it rates below one other activity

Yes, there are many appealing activities at U. of W., the labs the sports, the various clubs However, the one that I like besl -especially in certain dull lec- ture periods-is that blessed in. activity called sleep.

MEMOR Part II3

Abdul vs. Thei MUD-

After BIG M&Ike kicked me ut of his office for sugggesting hat automatic steel mill, I began 3 think that perhaps I had started ly engineering career by tackling

problem that was just too much or my ability. I next turned to

problem that was just a little nore down to earth. To be exact,

volunteered my expert services o the Napoleon Engineering ;c,hool, to attempt to solve their nud problem.

Since I wanted to get a first- Land look at the problem, I urged ny father to use a month of his vages as a steel-worker to send ne to the school for a six year beriod. This was quickly accom- jlished, and I set out, a week ater, in an old Arabs sailing ship o try to reach Mudville, Canada, ite of the school. The trip would lave gone very well had it not )een for that fool Arabs continual abbering about falling off the tdge of the world. What a charac- er! Any fool, including me, Knows that the world is an oblate ,pheroid, or an egg shape. Come o think of it, the comparison with m egg is very appropriate: The world has a thin shell, and inside ts really rotten. However, the ittle old Arab and his quaint :ears were amusing, and I arrived n Mudville, in high spirits.

After recovering from the ini- ;ial shock of seeing those beauti- rul buildings surrounded like ships in a fog, by that sea of 3rown ooze, I began to notice certain strange phenomonae con- lected with this particular type If mud. For instance, I dropped 2 pencil from a third story win- dow of the physics building, and carefully noted where it landed Upon further investigation, 1 found a small hole in the earth approximately the diameter oj the pencil which was dropped Ibis hole extended a depth oj four feet into the mud. This in. trigued me,, for if a light objecl like a pencil could plunge that fai into the mud, what would happer to a heavier object. This experi. ment also brought me to realizc that if the entire studem body were to assemble in the physic: building at one time, and if the1 happened to stamp their feet a one time, the entire building would sink from sight in abou eight seconds. I quickly formu. lated a plan by which I coulc further study this malignant mud If I could obtain a volunteer, 1 could have him jump off the roo: of the building, holding one enc of a one thousand foot rope. Thus I could determine how deep tht mud was (certainly not more thar one thousand feet) and how it wa; composed. The volunteers were presented more quickly than 1 had dared to hope. It seems tha the cafeteria staff happened tc come my way while they wert trying to escape from an angry lynch mob, and they agreed to dc anything I said in return for I hiding place. Little did they, or I know what was about to happen At the designated hour, I tiec them firmly together, and pushec them over the side of the build ing. They disappeared almost im mediately into the mud and the rope began reeling out at a fan tastic rate. One hundred, . . . twc hundred . . . three hundred . . nine hundred . . . gone!!

Needless to say, this acciden was a real blow to my research However, I could now draw cer tain definite conclusions whicl would help me in my anti-muc campaign: (1) the mud was tot deep to be removed by any prac tical method; (2) a supportin structure of piles driven into thl bed rock was almost impractical since it was apparently impossibll to find bed rock.

F ABDUL On the third day following the

tragic disappearance of the cafe- teria staff, a real disas$ter oc- curred: three cars disappeared from the roadside near annex two. All that could be seen as evidence of their disappearance were three holes extending out of sight into the depths of the slime. Since the cars belonged to dr. Seegmiller, the dean of sci- rices, and Mr. Axford, who was here on a goodwill tour, I was Irged to begin immediate anti- nud procedures.

Since mud consists of a mixture If earth, water, cars, and people,

By the time this article is avail- able to the sympathetic student body, the Arts - Engineers game will be history. If all goes w,ell it should be as great a success as last year. I for one think that there should be far more of this kind of inter-faculty competition.

Last year the game turned out to be a very pleasant surprise for me. When I went to the stadium, it was indeed gratifying to see more than a handful of fans. Dur- ing the entire game there was a continuous chorus of cheers and shouts. Everyone assembled was having a good time; the final score seemed to be both a compliment to the winners as well as to the losers. In fact, many were very impressed with the boys from down under who lost by only seven points to a squad made up largely of varsity players.

This year, the spectacle, for it certainly can be called such, should be even better with the elimination of these varsity play- ers. It wouldnt surprise me that, by the time this edition hits the confines of the Torque Room, the engineers will have won this years contest.

Whatever the outcome may be, the fact remains that many peo- ple will have enjoyed themselves. More important, there will be an increase of inter-factulty compe- tition that will help to make us a true University. The United Appeal will benefit from the joust.

Let us hope that the competi- tion which exists now grows on this campus until it takes1 in all aspects of sport. Let us see an advance in activity until it enI- gulfs curling, golf, tennis, track and all the other fields that arent included now.

I note that the hockey team held their first practice the other day. I wasnt down to the ice- box but I noticed a few of the veterans hobbling around next day. It seems that the team is a bit weak in spots; goaltending for one. Perhaps last years fans can think of some other spots.

Intramural sporting activities got into full swing last week with the hockey and basket- ball schedules opening Monday and Thursday nights. In Mon- days basketball tilts, three out of six games were defaulted due to lack of organization of the vari- ous teams, but in the games that were played Eng I A defeated Eng 2,A 55-12, Ehg 1 B defeated Frosh A 41-18 while the Frosh B won their game 28-22 over Eng 1 A.

fault, Frosh A won over Pre Eng by default while both Jrs- Srs and Pre Eng defaulted in their tilt.

Hockey action provided some interesting play at the Waterloo Arena Thursday night with Eng I B serving notice of their power with a 9-10 victory over Frosh B. Frosh A eked out a 3-2 deci- sion over Eng 2 A while Pre Eng and Eng I As battled to a 4-4 tie.

Games slated for next Monday, Nov. 16 in basketball are Eng 1 A vs. Pre Eng and Eng 1 B vs. Jr.-Sr at 8 p.m., Eng 2 A vs. Sophs and Frosh A vs. Frosh B at 9 p.m., and Eng 1 A s vs. Jr-Sr and Eng 1 A vs. Soph at 10 p.m.

In hockey action Thursday night Eng A meets Eng 1 A at 9 p.m., Eng. 2 B meets Pre Eng at 10 p.m. and Frosh A meets Frosh B at 11 p.m.

Athletic representatives for the various classes are asked to make sure they have their teams lined up and on hand for their assigned games.

A prediction closes this column. I can say without tongue in cheek that this years varsity curling team will retain their inter-colle- giate championship. Dont let me down gentlemen! WATERLOO vs. O.A.C.

Ontario Agricultural College Redmen clinched the champion- ship of the Ontario Intercollegiate Conference on Saturday with a 28 - 9 win over Waterloo College Mules. The O.A.C. Redmen will travel to Halifax to meet the champions of the Nova Scotia League, November 21, for the first playoff between the two groups.

O.A.C. led 7-O in the first quar- ter and it was 28-O in the fourth quarter before Waterloo hit the score sheet. The Redmen eased their pressure, then the always potent Mules Defense led by Ro- senburg and Aru tackled Hume behind his line for a safety touch. Later in the fourth quarter Yar- mey hit Cy Weber for a 20 yard pass and a touchdown making the score 28-9.

The 9 points the Mules scored against the Redmen were the most points scored against them in one game this year. GIRLS ATHLETIC ACTIVITIES

Any girls interested in exer- cises, exercises, and more exer- cises are invited to attend basket- ball practices Mondays and Thursdays from 7.00 to 8.00 p.m. (If you are interested in basket- ball, come out about 6.30 p.m.)

SOCIETY The administration has brought

to the attention of the Under- graduate Society chairman the fact that students are booking rooms and facilities without clear- ance through the Undergraduate Society. Would clubs and groups on campus please note that any facilities or rooms must be cleared through the Undergraduate Soci- ety chairman, Jim Neeb, in order to be made available.

If someone were to be so bold as to say, There arent enough hours in a Waterloo day, he would probably be surrounded by a mob of angry students ready to hang him from the nearest tree.

If you should find yourself in such a predicament, you had best explain yourself in the following manner and be quick in doing so.

But fellows, you could stam- mer, I agree that our superiors are allowed too much time to try to cram unfamiliar knowledge in- to the limited space allotted for it in our short memories and also that they have too much opportu- nity to delve into mysterious fields that are far beyond our ability to comprehend. But let me ask you this. Do you go home at night and find you can sit down and leisurely do the work that has been assigned to you and when it is finished, do you find time for a few hours of leisure, lets say seeing a movie uptown or explaining to your girl why you got drunk over the week- end?

I would say it was an unusual student indeed who found this description of his afterschool ac- tivities accurate. As for the ma- jority of us, we never find our- selves without work to do and if we should chance to indulge in idle pastimes such as those men- tioned, we are doing so at the expense of our studies. The re- ward for this neglect comes at the end of the quarter when you glance over your exam paper trying to find a question you know how to answer.

So in this respect, I say there arent enough hours in the latter part of the day to compensate f,or the hours that are, too many in the earlier part of the day. As a result, many a student finds himself walking about in a cloud of frustration saying to himself, I wonder where I can find a steady job when they kick me out of this institution.

some people have been express- ing their views with regard to the dining hall problem. Here are some of the printable opinions:

Isaac Himmel (Honours Sauer- kraut). Der food reminds me of my vife. She couldnt cook either.

Bertha Crudd (Honours Eco- nomics) . I would enjoy the meals more if they gave Green Stamps.

Company to the Twin Cities in- spired the dorm boys to hold their own exhibition of terpsichore, the only difference being that the Wil- lison Hall presentation was a wa- ter sequence. Three solo per- formances were given in the fourth floor bathtub and then the pi&e de r&istance followed early on Sunday morning when a plumber and an artsman pooled,

ber was so well dressed and the tub was so full.

There is a possibility that the

ful as a scarcity of performers is hampering rehearsals. Swhs, Juniors and Seniors are reluctant to participate. They remember the chaos which reigned afi last years rehearsals, when so much time was needlessly wasted. Jim Neeb, however, insists that things are organized this year, so any- body with an urge for stardom should participate without further delay. Wheres all the reported talent in the Freshman Class?

Seems some immature idiots are phoning Conrad Hall in the early hours of the morning and then offering ridiculous excuses for do- ing so. Mrs. Binhammer, the housemother, is a very congenial person, but nobody likes to be compelled to answer a phone at 2:3U a.m. Have some considerd- tion guys, and lay off these child- ish pranlks.

ASSUMED DUTIES SEPT. 8

CReprinted front Alumni Bulletin)

As your reporter entered the office of the President of Waterloo University College, Herbert Mel- vin Axford was pouring over blueprints of the college campus. Though just arriving in Waterloo on Labour Day and as yet not totally unpacked, Dr. Axfordi, true to his dynamic personality, has already thrown his energies into the rapidly moving developments at the college.

Following a brief discussion, your reporter was invited to ac- company the President to his tern- porary home on Hickory St., where his charming wife, Joan, served tea and talked of their three children. Marilyn, age 8, Donald and Jimmy, ages 10 and 11 were at school in Lexington, the site of the new Axford home presently in its final stages Of construction. The Axfords have lived in many parts of the conti- nent and have camped in many others. They pride themselves for adapting quickly to their environ- ment. A pride well justified for in three weeks they have estab- lished themselves as members of St. Johns Lutheran congregation where Don and Jim have joined the cub and scout groups.

Born in 1924, Herbert Melvin Axford received his elementary and secondary school education in his home town, Winnipeg. Upon graduation from the Daniel McIn- tvre Collegiate Institute in 1936, Herbert Axford began a career which carried him into various phases of the business world and through progressive stages in the field of education.

As a buy-boy with Marshall Wells, a government agricultural assistant, a grade 2 clerk with the R.C.A.F. and a Canada Packers livestock accountant, student Ax- ford both earned his tuition to the University of Manitoba and ac- cumulated much of the practical and administrative background which qualifies him for his new position. After completing his Bachelor of Commerce course Lt. Axford spent three years with the Royal Calriadian Naval Reserve as paymaster, supply officer and maintenance officer. He presently holds the rank of Lt. Commander in that corps.

While proceeding ion-ards his s/laster of Commerce degree, he met the woman he was to marrJ-. Then followed seven years of teaching assistantships, research and an instructorship at the Uni- versity of Wisconsin and Knox College, Illinois.

From Knox College, Assistant Professor Axford accepted< the

chairmanship of the Department of Economics and Business Ad- ministration at Pacific Lutheran College in Tacoma, Washington. Here he completed the thesis which earned him his Doctorate of Philosophy and an associate professorship. As secretary of the School of Commerce, University of Alberta, his next post, Dr. Axford accepted the call to Waterloo University College to become its sixth president.

Welcome and best wishes to President Axford and his family.

NOTICE On behalf of the University of

Waterloo Students Council, may I extend a personal welcome to each and every student. It is my hope that you will enjoy a suc- cessful year, both in the field of Homecoming Weekend - Friday,

PRESENT STATUS OF A STUDENTS AT WATERLOO

Many of us are a little confused, ing rights as far as Bachelor of as to the status of the institution which we now attend. This is especially true of the Freshmen if not of a number of others on campus. The Cord Weekly is therefore taking this opportunity to try and explain just exactly what has taken place in the last year and what is about to take place in the future.

Divinity is concerned and no more.

Meanwhile the Waterloo Asso- ciate Faculties has become a Cor- poration under the laws of the Province of Ontario and has be- come the University of Waterloo. At present it consists of the Faculty of Engineering and the Faculty of Physical Sciences. In other words it has broken away from the Waterloo Lutheran Uni- sity and has become a non- denominational university. .

The Evangelical Lutheran Sem- inary of Canada had been oper- ating Waterloo College which in- cluded Waterloo Seminary. This is not the case at the present for the Evangelical Lutheran Semin- ary of Canada has become Water- loo Lutheran University and Waterloo College has become Waterloo University College while the Seminary is called Waterloo Lutheran Seminary.

At the moment Waterloo Luth- eran University has degree grant-

Waterloo University College is therefore faced with a choice. A choice of becoming part of the University of Waterloo, or of be- coming a University in its, own own right. For the moment we are still associated with Western but this association is expected to end in June of 1960 and so the College must make the decision

before Christmas in order to let new students know and in order that calendars etc. may be printed.

Of course all those registered with the College up until next year will graduate from the Uni- versity of Western Ontario but this will clearly change in the Fall of 1960.

The most probable course will be affiliation with the UnivePsity of Waterloo as this would make available certain Provincial grants not now obtainable because of religious affiliation. The ques- tion, however, is still not settled but it is expected that, since President Axford is meeting next week and thereafter so as to be able to present the Board of Governors with the choice, that a decision must be forthcoming within the next two months.

Adams pointed out that ten .ears ago Russia was dominated by the Stalinist regime, which had mprisoned millions of political lrisoners,, abandoned even the ;emblance of court procedure and ;trangled cultural and political iberty. In her external affairs, Russia had adopted a get tough 3olicy which led to a succession If crises in Berlin, and, Korea.

Since 1953, and the death of Stalin, the professor explained, communist Russia has undergone m important evolution.. Today here are few political prisoners; ;he use of Secret Police and secret rials has been curbed and a new emphasis has been placed on consumer goods and cultural free- lam.

Professor Adams noted that the United States had also undergone mportant changes. American foreign policy, which was rigid md unflexible, was dominated by John Foster Dulles whom Adams lescribed as a crusading evan- :elist employing Machiavellian techniques. International tension was created by the Dulles belief ;hat he was engaged in a life and leath struggle with communism, Cnternally, America was divided 3y the tactics and ideas of Senator LVIcCarthy who caused a paralysi: in American thinking and a 10s: of her prestige on the part of the rest of the world. ,

Professor Adams pointed ou; that today we have more reasor to be optimistic about Americar attitudes and policies. Foreigr policy is being directed by the able and less righteous Chris. tian Herter. A new American re. surgence of liberalism is ind,i. cated by the fact that all majol candidates for next years presi. dential election are standing on z liberal platform. This includes said Mr. Adams, tricky Dickey Nixon who is most adept a* gauging the directions of public opinion and then floating alonE with it.

The professor then discussed some of the worlds hot spots of ten years ago and explained how, with the exception of Nortl- Africa, they have been eliminatec as danger areas or at least tem- porarily quieted.

On Tuesday night, Oct. 13, the olitics Club held its first neeting of the year and had as ts speaker, Professor Geoffrey idams of the University History lepartment.

Professor Adams compared the nternational situation existing at he beginning of this decade to he conditions which exist today. 30th the United! States and Rus- ia, he declared, have undergone mportant internal changes which lave resulted in the easing of forld tension.

In summing up, Prof essoi Adams pointed out that althouglr the situation is less likely to leac to war than it was ten years ago formidable problems still exist The world is still divided into hostile camps with each side pos sessing the capability of annihi lating the other. Furthermore the democracies have weakener their moral position by acceptin] as allies reactionary elements ii other countries. Finally, we ii America will probably see thl day when all of Asia will havl swung into the communist orbi and the possibility is strong tha Africa and South America wil follow suit.

The lecture was followed by : question period in which Profes sor Adams fielded all question frankly and fully.

THE PHI DELTA PI & INTEREST TO THE WOMEN

The Phi Delta Pi has been an active organization this year. The Annual Welcoming Tea for fresh- ettes was held September 24 in the Lounge. Over one hundred students were greeted by .Dale Perrin, President, Miss Joan McGill, Dean of Women,. Mrs. Schaus, and Mrs. Axford. The occasion provided a good opportu- nity for the freshettes to meet their big sisters, other freshettes, other senior students and the fe- male members of the faculty.

On October 7th, we had a Wie- ner Roast in the Torque Room, Several tables provided fuel for a big bonfire in the centre of the room and freshettes and their big sisters had a gay time toasting (vieners and marshmallows with ong straws.

This year, your school paper is going to have a section devoted entirely to the women and their nterests. In it you will find arti- :les dealing with Phi Delta Pi events, Athletic events, Conrad Sal1 events, and any other items If feminine interests (other than nen>, plus a word or two from ne, as Womens Editor. I hope you will stay tuned to this station tor the rest of the season.

Initiation week is over now and nost of us are settling down to academic work and a few extra- curricular activities. However, I :ant let the initiation die without idding my final two cents worth.

After a brief sing-song, we clap- Ied our hands in glee and left the vild and woolly Torque Room, lack to civilization.

The next event will be the >INNING CEREMONY. I trust ve will see you all then . . . 3ctober 29. Remember ! !

XJES FROM CONRAD

This year the revered walls of Conrad Hall enclose 27 models of lropriety and one distracted Housemother. Knowing that this situation could lead to almost any- ,hing, the staff of the Cord Week- y have asked me to record the veekly misdoings of our merry group.

On Thursday morning of this peek at three A.M., the freshettes If the dorm launched the long- iwaited rebellion against the sophomores.

I was impressed by the spirit and apparent willingness to co- operate shown by most of the girls in the freshman class. As a matter of fact I was amazed that the girls were so eager to do dead horses, salaams, recite Shake- speare, carry lamps, sit under tables, admit they were bums, scum, and what have you. (Especially Judy Chamberlain! ! > Thursday evening of initiation week was perhaps the most mem- orable evening. The non-resident students were invited to the dorm and drilled by Helen Young and her cohorts while yours truly was given the opportunity to have re- venge on the resident students (eh Roberts), or vice versa, de- pending upon how you look at it. Aft,er two hours of solid drill the restrictions w,ere lifted slightly to allow all present to have a little fun and fellowship.

-The fire alarm was sounded oud and long. As the sleepy jophs staggered out of their *ooms equally sleepy Frosh usher- :d them into the reception room. 2fter many attempts on the part

of the Sophs to go back to bed they were finally assembled ir the reception room. The majority vere carried down bodily. One determined young lady had to bc tubbed, in order to persuade her that she would be much more content with her fellow ex- exalted ones.

Truly, that week is now in the past, but I hope that the enthus- iasm and feeling of unity among the freshman class that was so apparent during the entire ordeal will continue in the present and future. If such is the case, both you and Waterloo College will find it mutually rewarding.

splendidly until the Sophs dis- covered their salty position.

Pandemonium reigned! ! !

The Frosh had thoughtfully provided food and drinks for their former tormentors. While the food was being consumed a few considerate freshettes prepared the Sophs beds for them by sprinkling salt between the sheets The whole plan was articulated

Your reporter had the presence of mind to lock herself in her room but other unfortunates were pursued throughout t h e Dorm. The culmination of these frivolities occurred with the tub- bing of a freshette.

Thus, having regained the up- per hand in the Dorm, the Sophs retired. Have no fear! The Frosh will rise again-but not at three A.M.

- The meeting then adjourned tc 1

the common room for refresh- ments.

The Politics Club, undaer its ac- tive president Herb Epp, is to be

congratulated for providing such an informative and enlightening evening. We are looking forward with anticipation to future meet-

Mediscope 59 From October 12 to October 17,

thousands of people, ranging in professions from the average la- bourer to the engineering speci- alist, walked into the Queen Ediza- beth Building at the C.N.E. grounds, to see the Ontario Medi- cal Associations Mediscope-59. They came out with perhaps a little more knowledge of medicine than when they went in.

The entire exposition was put on at the expense of the O.M.A. ,Free admission andl programs and informative pamphlets were great aids in attracting the public.

The exhibits were obviously designed to appeal to the average layman. Plaster models of the eye, the heart, and other organs,

, gave a general impression of what these organs looked like, while detailed photographs, x-ray pic- tures, and movies, presented in- formation in a more exact tech- nical form.

I could quickly perceive, how- ever, that the richest store of information lay in the doctors, nurses, and technicians who were present at every exhibit. For example; in exhibit one, there was a very ordinary-looking gent- leman seated beside an anaes- thetic machine. I leaned over the guard rail and asked him how Nitrous Oxide (a tank of which was in the machine) came into use as an anaesthetic. The story he told me was amazing. Before he had finished, there were about twenty people gathered around the booth, each one straining to hear this little man tell of the American dentist who first made use of the unique laughing gas as an anaesthetic.

The facts which most impressed me about Mediscope were the tremendous opportunities which I could see in almost every exhibit, for the application of mechanical and electrical engineering. In ex- hibit 22, labelled Internal medi- cine, a Kitchener doctor told me of the wide use that medicine is making of radioactive isotopes in diagnosing functional diseases. In the booth, he had two scintallation counters, each consisting of a detector, photomultiplier, a n d counter. It was easy\ to see how both electrical and mechanical en- gineering could be applied to improve upon tracing techniques.

Another impressive man whom I talked to was a Toronto brain surgeon, who outlined the use of the electro-encephalograph ma- chine to diagnose mental and some functional diseases. He also spoke of the use of a high fre- quency electric arc knife which he uses in all operations. This knife not only cuts finer and cleaner than the conventional knife, but it closes off the severed blood vessels as well. My talk with this man was worth the entire1 visit.

The scope of work covered at this exposition was much too wide for me to deal with here. It served its purpose well, for it offered the layman a chance to have a closer look at the once- mysterious science of medicine, and it offered to those interested, the opportunity to make further contacts with some great Canadi- ans. The opportunities of apply- ing electrical and! mechanical en- gineering to further improve upon present techniques and equipment is staggering. What better way is there for an engineer to serve his fellow man !

n Another step has been taken in

the unification of all faculties on the University Campus. The two Engineering Societies have unani- mously voted to drop bi-weekly publication of Enginews and join the Cord Weekly, making it a campus-wide publication.

Originally the Enginews was published during the spring and summer months when except for Engineers the campus was de- serted. Following the friction which developed between the

Engineering Society and the Cord Weekly it was decided to continue publishing the Enginews on a year around basis. However, this fall with the advent of a Uni- versity Student Council and past differences forgotten the E#ngin- eering Society again brought up the question. It was decided that one campus-wide paper would aid in unifying the students of the University and Waterloo College as well as give everyone a more homogeneous outlook on campus

Yes indeed we went through the initiation exercise and came through it-all in one piece too !

Will we do it next term to others?

Has it been of value to the students concerned ?

These questions and many oth- ers have been foremost in the freshmens minds during the in- itiation week of this fall term. Am I, as a reporter, able to answer them definitely? No. Any answer is debatable. My aim therefore is to analyze the events and our reactions. You may sup- ply the answers according to your 3wn judgment.

On the day of registration we received a special copy headed *Freshmen. Placidly we read it through. Our hearts bounced slightly when we finished. It was just as we could have expected. We had thought of this before, nevertheless it came as a shock.

Our lovely groom cut down to the maximum length of one- quarter of an inch; wearing a turban; carrying a slide rule, log- tables, and a plunger-all this in public too - furthermore each would have to find a dance part- ner.

Outrageous ! ! ! However it was only Wednes-

day, and the ordeal was not to come until Monday. Why worry about tomorrow? Besides there was work to be done. There were books to be bought, at hair-raising prices; rooms to be found, and made livable; acquaintances to be made.

Soon Friday came and the dor- mant worries probed and were found to be shared. Friday after- noon there was considerable talk of rebellion against the situation.

By Jove, we asked ourselves, were we, almost two-hundred

head, to be bullied about for the next week, or would we unite and rebel against it? I must ex- plain here the two-fold situation. Some were just scared to have their locks shorn off, others were just rebellious for the sake of it. Personally I considered that the haircut was a moral necessity to prove to oneself that one was not chicken. Nevertheless the excite- ment of a rebellion appealed to me.

Saturday came, and most fresh- men appeared at supper with the prescribed cut. Some longer, others shorter, but cut.

I must admit that my heart pumped a rather large amount of blood through my arteries when I entered the barber shop.

I must also admit that I came out of the barber shop a new person in looks and views.

I think that this was the com- mon reaction of most freshmen. Our burden was now considerably lighter. We accepted the humili- ations and took them as gentle- men; we brushed shoes, lighted cigarettes; played dead horse and received tickets; all at the command of our fellow and sen- ior students.

The first workout at six a.m. was as lousy as it was early. The Wednesday night workout how- ever was great fun. All the form- er worries were forgotten; we were there to drill or be drilled. I think the final score was evened when the vigilantes were forced to find refuge in the physics build- ing under rapid mud fire aimed in their general direction. There was a lot of it that week-mud I mean. The opposition showed great sportsmanship, and from our side, any hard feelings were now erased.

life. The Engineering Society will

arrange the mailing of the Cord Weekly at no cost to all off- campus Engineers. During the spring and summer months and for special occasions such as elec- tions and dances Enginews will be published. The Engineering Editor will be responsible for editing all Eagineering contribu- tions which will appear in a spe- cial section of the Cord Weekly.

Paul Koch.

Now we are part of the team. We had received our recognition as much as we had earned it; we had submitted to the rules and we had rebelled against them.

This is apparently what it takes to become part of a University, and to be proud of it.

Bill Ubbink, 1As 4

Germanys late Cardinal von Faulhaber of Munich once had a conversation with the renowned mathematician, Albert Einstein.

Cardinal von Faulhaber, Ein- stein remarked, I respect reli- gion, but I believe in mathematics. Probably it + is the other way around with you.

You are mistaken, the Car- dinal retorted. To me, both are merely different expressions of the same divine exactness.

But, Your Eminence, what would you say if mathematical science should some day come to conclusions directly contradictory to religious beliefs?

Oh, answered the Cardinal, I have the highest regard for the competence of mathematicians. I am sure they would never rest until they discovered their mis- take.

MEMORIES Well, Freshman Week is over.

Most of us will retain its fond memories for a long while. Soph versus Frosh; Vigilante versus Loofes; Tribunal versus Retalco; our refreshing and stimulating jaunt through the woods with its nearness to Nature; the romance of our serenade to the Arts stu- dents at six oclock in the morn- ing. Ah yes, the haircuts and the turbans, the plungers and the signs -long will we remain con- scious of those niceties given us by the Sophomores, especially the haircuts! The electrifying sus- pense in the courtroom; the tense battle of wits between Sophomore judge and Sophomore counsel with the monotonously regular verdict of, Defendant guilty as chargedI.

Nor will we forget that epitomy of dances, The Plumbers Plunge. Come now, you must remember - the one for which our friendly Sophs gave you the names of those ravishingly beauti- ful( ?) nurses - for the mere and nominal charge of twenty-five cents to cover handling. And the music, ah yes, the music - heart- rendingly nostalgic, wonderful for singing, beautiful for listening. Oh well, we didnt go there to dance anyway-or did we? Fun- ny, I cant seem to remember!

Remember the fun we had do- ing animal imitations? Ive never seen so many diead horses outside a glue factory. I cant imagine that any of you have forgotten the many hours spent in that labour of love called shining the Sopho- more shoes.

Yes, Freshman Week is over, but it will be long remembered by all of us-mainly because well be thinking of the pleasant little tortures well be handing out next year. What, us worry?

This is the first opportunity we Pablo Matchetski, Pres.

have had, on behalf of the newly formed Arts Students Council, to greet all the members of the Arts student body. The council ex- tends to each and every student the warmest possible welcome and the hope that each of you may have a successful and profit- able year at Waterloo. We look forward to serving you in the coming year, and will endeavour to carry out the type of program acceptable to the majority of students.

As most of you know this is our first year of functioning as part of a University and of oper- ating under our own political system. We would ask you then, to be patient with your class re- presentatives and your executives as we seek to establish and main- tain the rights and freedoms of the Arts students.

All this will not be easy, there- fore we must plot our course care- fully. For the first time we will have to co-exist with not one but two other councils. This will mean some compromise on our part, but we must also have the ability to take a very definite stand if this is necessary in order to protect our interests.

To be able to pursue these policies and to accomplish these

the co-operation of each and tasks it will be necessary to have

every Arts student at Waterloo. Too many activities and projects here turn out to be one-man jobs. Do not allow that to happen this year. Beware of hiding the light of your talents under the bushel basket of selfish, self-contredness. Be on the alert for situations where you may apply your talents and creative abilities; support your teams and school activities; do your best, at all times in the class room, and above all keep in mind at all times that you are students of Waterloo and should therefore think and act in a man- ner befitting a student of a Cana- dian University or College.

If you have any ideas or sug- gestions that would, better our %udent Government or benefit the Arts students in general please feel free to discuss them with your class representatives or the Arts Students Council execu- tive. Remember, your interest in student affairs is necessary if we are to operate at our most effi- cient level. Let us move forward together showing the administra- tion, the community and other Canadian Universities and Col- leges that we are capable of tak- ing our place, as mature and in- telligent beings, in student gov- ernment.

With M.&G. This is the year that we begin

to come out of the doldrums in sports at our dear Alma Mater. This is the year all the Mule Teams begin to make their pres- ence felt in inter-varsity compe- tition, and this is the year that the campus activities will begin to form into a well developed and organized program.

Sound too optimistic? Perhaps. But then again there are innova- tions around the University that point to this new development. Then too,, there are some things that have to be improved.

The biggest improvement in the Athletic field comes in the form of a new member of the staff. The powers that be finally saw fit to appoint an assistant to director Totzke and a McMaster graduate, Dan Pugliese, was given the position. Dan has been work- ing as if he meant business, (ask some of the boys on the football team if you dont believe me), proving himself a ball of fire in all respects. Now we have two of a kind working in our hallowed confines of Seagram gymnasium.

MULES WIN OVER CARLETON! Led by a re-built defensive

squad, the University of Waterloo Mules won their first league game in three years by trouncing Carle- ton University Ravens, 30-6.

The defence, which seemed so porous only a week ago, exhibited the improvement which everyone had hoped for. With the coach- ing assistance of Lenny Ford, the front wall smeared the Ravens rushers for a net gain of only 108 yds. as opposed to 429 yds. the week before. Only the con- sistent passing of the Ravens Laboda prevented the Mules from running wild. The same names seem to appear each week and this is no exception. Targosz, Rosenberg, Archer, Frausen, Arie and Kuntz stood out from a hoar;d of improved linemen.

Lets not forget the offensive team, which scored thirty points more than they did a week ago. Led by the elusive sweeps of John Enns who rolled up 108 yds. for a respectable 8.5 average, and the power running of I Archer and Rosenberg for 1291 and 46 yds. re- spectively, the Mules provided the small crowd with some entertain- ing football. The blocking was more apparent on the line as was the quarterbacking of Brian Brock who seems to improve game by game.

Rosenberg started the scoring on a 2 yd. plunge. Archers quick kick was recovered by Dave Craig who ran 63 yds. before be- ing hauled down on the Carleton 1 yd. line. Archer then carried it over. An interception by Dan Yarmey who lateralled to Doug Drynan provided another Mule T.D. John Enns counted two con- verts and a 23 yd. field goal. Brian Near then picked off an- other Carleton pass and raced 50 yds. for the last Waterloo T.D.

Congratulations, men, for a job well. done!

I

SOCCER Waterloo lost to the O.A.C.

Aggies by a score of 6 - 0. Pablo Matchetski displayed bril- liant goal-keeping despite in- juries he contracted throughout the game. Rampaging Rex re- ceived two spikes in the side of his face, but said Rex, It only hurts when I frown.

One may scoff but Waterloo was rated the stiffest opposition the first-place Aggies have faced. The Waterloo team had only six practices previous to their first game. It seems as though the soccer team has a fine season ahead of it and also is de- serving of student support.

And now that we have more staff we have better organization - drop over to the gymnasium some day and see the new look.

The optimistic spirit is also heightened by a 30-7 win over Carleton - the first win in three years for the football Mules. It was extremely gratifying to see the team in a winning cause and the new feeling was enjoyed by the handful of fans present. One win does not a championship make, but it does at least create a bit of spirit. Before the season is over, there is always McMaster and O.A.C. around to throw a wrench in things:

There seems to be a better attitude this year. Outwardly it may not show too much. There are only a handful of fans out at each ~game but at least they are enthusiastic - and we can always hope for more!

So you see the picture is indeed rosier. It will be the season of our coming out to prominence. Let there be no sceptics in the house; you will be sorry, you will.

MAC 13 - WATERLOO 1

For a team that only two years ago was the doormat of the league, the Waterloo Mules made the MacMaster Marauders fight for their lives to sneak away with a win in their scheduled Thanks- giving Day football game.

The improvemem over the first game was really stupendous. However, the one mistake that decided the game was made un- fortunately by the Mules.

The blocking of Barrett, Weiler, Tice, Thompson and Ireland on the front wall enabled the backs to match the Marauders yard for yard. The powerful running of Red Archer accounted for half of the Mules 166 yards of rushing. Johnny Enns ran the ends well but seems to receive no blocking on the secondary. The pass re- ceivers continue to run no pat- terns (if there are any) and so the passing is still negligible.

The Mules failed to click inside the 30 yard line after Walt Arie and Bill Weiler recovered Mat fumbles. The linebacking of Rosenberg, Weiler and Kurtz was a decided improvement.

GIRLS ATHLETICS On October 8, 195,9, a team

from Waterloo College entered the Track and Field, Tennis, Archery, Baseball playday *which was held at the University of Western Ontario. A team, coached by Miss Ann Turner, director of girls athletics, was composed of: Carol Dietrich, Donna Kelly, Mar- jorie Smith, Dale Perrin, Joan Rennie, Beth Koch, Janice Ing- lise, Liz Elmslie, Marg Steele, Ginny Leon, S,andra Brown, Liz Porteous, Barb MacKay, Brenda Good, Marg Emmerson, Shelley Finson, Joan Reesor, Helen Young, Mary Ellen1 Campbell and Hannah Mizuno.

The baseball tournament was rained out. Donna Kelly copped a first, and Carol Dietrich a third, in the dash, but other track events were won by Western. Archery too was won by Western. How- ever, the tennis (doubles) tourna- ment was won by Helen Young and Dale Perrin of Waterloo. All in all, Waterloo made an impres- sive showing. Congratulations, girls! The next athletic activity will be basketball. Please watch for further notices.

Y NE By SINBAD BRITTLE

Looks like apathy has a grip on the Freshman Class already. There wasnt much interest dis- played in the election campaigns. Only ten per cent of the Frosh attended the speeches made by the two men who showed enough interest to run for President. What a contrast to last year! Congratulations to Bruce Lums- den on his election. Lets hope he gets some support from what is supposedly the most talented group on campus.

On Thursday of last week one member of this group was giving two of his friends a tour of the campus he knows so well, (hes been here three whole weeks!). Deciding that the Mens Dorm was a must, he led his friends up the stairway to Willisons Hal- lowed Halls. One of our more considerate residents informed him he was trespassing. A tub- bing would have been in order, and he may rest assured that this will be the procedure next time. Take the hint, dry one, and get lost!

Its good to see that Conrad Hall has a new list of tenants. How- ever, the females on the campus are still sadly outnumbered. The overseers of the Girls Dorm had a great time during Initiation Week using evil smelling potions which must have been stolen from a Middle-Age alchemist (No, not Harry Southam!) The make- up only served to enhance the looks of the young ladies . . . . when it was eventually washed lff; but the supervisor of the Local sewage works is convinced that someone in the city is using rar
