Sports The University of Waterloo Warriors, after two straight wins (over Carleton 16 - 8 and over R.M.C. 27 - 18) were defeated Saturday by the Guelph O.A.C. Aggies by the score of 36 - 19. The Aggies scored early in the first quarter, after being stopped twice inside the War- riors’ five-yard line, on a short pass. The convert was wide and O.A.C. led 6 - 0 until a downfield Warrior march was capped by a pass to Hann, who made a fine jumping catch for the touch- down. Targosz’ convert at- tempt was blocked and the score remained tied at 6 - 6. The Aggies scored again after a long run set up a ten yard pass for the touchdown. The convert was wide and the O.A.C. held a short-lived lead of 12 - 6. The Warriots scored soon after on a pass from Gould to Aldridge. The convert this time was wide and the score remained 12 - 12 until the last play of the half when O.A.C. scored on a short pass. Again the convert at- tempt was wide and O.A.C. led 18 - 12 at half-time. Early in the second half the Warriors marched down- field to the Aggies’ five-yard line. Stanyar suffered a pos- sible broken wrist while car- rying the ball back to the five. From there, on third down, Gould threw to Schell- enburg in the end zone. Sehellenburg caught the ball close to the ground but the referee called it incomplete, ruling that he had trapped the ball. From that highly disputed call, the Aggies marched downfield and passed for another unconverted toueh- down. They later added two more touchdowns, both un- converted ; one on a fifty- yard run, the other on a pass after recovering a Waterloo fumble. Late in the game a fifty yard pass and run play from Gould to Aldridge gave Wat- erloo possession on the Ag- gies’ one-yard line. Again it was Gould to Aldridge on a short pass for the touchdown. The convert attempt this time was good with “Golden Toe” Targosz adding the single point. The score remained 36 - 19 for the rest of the game.

EDITORIAL

“Can,ada is becoming a nation oaf sitters and watchers”

says Dr. G. R. F. Elliott, deputy health officer in B.C.

In an age of great technical achievement and lack of balanced viewpoint, of colour television and bathroom advertisements, of satellites and nuclear warheads, of highly paid sportsmen and destitute artists, of musical commercials and racial prejudice, when we attribute our faults to our local conditions and our grandmother’s psyche, where the matter of the existence of God or duties pertaining thereto are considered unimportant beside the desire for pleasure and the greed for wealth, there is need for concern.

“The slow corrosion of luxurv - the slow erosion of our courage - are already beginning to show,” says John Kennedy, speaking of this western eivilization, “Our profits may be up, our standards of living may be up, but so-is our crime rate, so are the sales of tranquilizers and the number of children dropping out of school.” Many a young man grows up without any discipline, without any self control. His guiding instinct in life is merely what he wants, not what is good for him. Anything demanding effort is im- mediately dismissed. The resulting degradation of moral and intellectual standards is apparent. Dr. Neatly, of the University of Saskatchewan says, “In the 20th century, some 200 years after the enlightenment we encounter a new barbarian. Matters of the mind a.re scorned as ‘high- brow’ and to attempt to enlighten the mind of one’s neigh- bour is almost as great a presumption as to endeavour to save his soul. He wants entertainment.”

Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt, when asked if she would like to convey a message to youth of today said, “Hope - my message to you is hope.” There is hope; signs of the regenera- tion of a thinking spirit come through to those who watch, in sufficient quantity to give hope. This hope, however, is not something to be complacent about ~ “to sit and watch” we must act as part of the revitalizing movement. Albert Schweitzer has accused our age of being “filled with a distain for thinking. I therefore stand and work in the world as one who aims at making men less shallow and morally better by making them think.”

How does the university student fit into this? Univer- sities today are rapidly becoming mere technical institutes. When men attend university and men teach in university just for the monetary consideration with no real desire to receive or impart knowledge we have reached a sad impasse indeed. IJniversities are no longer the thought-provoking institutes or sources of thought of this eivilization. The half-doped beatnik is often more capable of original thought than we who are preoccupied with K- suborbitals, exponen- tials, or Vergil’s use of the past participle. We should therefore set to thinking about our why and wherefore. We must not sit back and watch, pass our exams, and go out of our minds with alcohol. We should ask and decide why are we writing exams? What is the reason and meaning for our indulgence in drink - a frustrated desire to feel good? I_ a clutching after a forbidden freedom? ~ a mere social and enjoyable evening? - a desperate need to be one of the boys? Having asked ourselves these questions we can stand on our principles; advocate them to others, understand the meaning of our existence and be integral persons. Howard Whitman of the Telegram writes: “We’ve soaked ourselves in luxury, we’ve taken to the worhsip of money and pleasure. We’ve twisted moral values to suit ourselves, we‘ve scoffed at integrity. In short, we’ve behaved like great eivilizations of the past when they’ve become over- fat and pleasure-riddled __ just before they crumbled.” I believe the remedy for this lies in our hands right now. Are we going “to sit and watch?”

ARTS AND SCIENCE EDITORIAL

Reflections In this column I was going to hold forth on the monetary

policy of the Canadian government but on consideration I thought it may send a vast majority of the engineers running in a mad panic for a dictionary so I will content myself by reflecting on various things which I have noticed in general.

I have taken a long look at the Artsmen and the results of this look may form an island in this swamp of digressions and loose opinions. It is fine to applaud the fact that you are an Artsman and uphold it verbally against the Epsilon minuses in Engineering and the Deltas in Science but how about a little more tangible support for extra-curricular activities. Take this newspaper for instance; there are two Artsmen on the staff and even at that one of us is a girl. The whole show is being run by engineers and taking that into account they are not doing too badly but that doesn’t say there is no room for improvement. I can hear your cry now, “Who has the time” and others of you damming me for being a super-hedonist. This is not the ease, I am only suggesting that you broaden your scope by latching on to at least one extra-curricular activity.

You may be wondering by this time why you are getting this mild blast. Well, this column had its beginnings last week on the gymnasium floor just after Engineering 2A had run us into the ground because we had no substitutes. 1 realize that this is perhaps a poor example as to why YOU should join some activity but the point is to give something a whirl . . . even to the Arts editor telling him how far off the beam he is.

Letters to the Editor November 8, 1960

The Editor, University of Waterloo Student Newspaper, Waterloo, Ontario.

Sir : Though I can understand

“Kenyan’s” concern about the white man’s position in his country (see “This Free-- dam” in November 4 issue of your newspaper), I must deplore his use of emotive diction and his apartheid bias.

“Kengan’s” loaded lan- guage betrays his prejudice throughout. First, he tries to confug? his readers with “facts” that add up to “truths” that are self-evident to him but not to an intelli- gent reader __ any political analyst worth his salt is extremely careful in his use of “fact” and “truth”. Then “Kenyan” reveals his an- noyance with the black poli- ticians, those “noisy self- seekers after power” who want to “usurp power over the masses and fill their pockets with spoils”; trite though these phrases are, they do not disguise a laissez- faire attitude that limits the right to exploit to those presently doing the exploit- ing. But t,he best example of emotive diction is this pas- sage : “Two thousand loyal- ists may be foully murdered during the Mau-Mau; the press-is not interest&d. A handful of depraved lunatics die at HOLA (Mau-Mau detention camp); this makes world news.” How it tugs at the heart-strings to hear that

“loyalists” are “foully mur- dered”! Surely it is only right that anyone opposing these loyalists (no matter on what grounds) should be described as a “depraved lunatic”, and it is only just that these lunatics should “dia” (note the suggestion of mercy temparing justice in the word “die”, and the overtones of pity and horror in “foully murdered”).

Let us now consider “Key- nan’s” abuse of logic to convince the reader that he is an authority on his country’s problems. First, he states that he knows the “truth” about Kenya be- cause he lives there; may I suggest that, though Prime Minister Verwoerd lives in South Africa, many highly respected statesmen suspect that his emotional involve- ment in the tragic situation tends to colour (or should I say “whiten”?) his concept of “truth”. Second, “Ken- yan” sets his judgment above that of Her Majesty’s gov- ernment, who, though they have capable representatives in Kenya, are “in ignorance of conditions in Africa.” Third, he attacks the world press as being “too matter of fact; they want sensation- alism” - does not a matter- of-fact press want facts? And finally he says that countries which are not Christian (in his emotive language, those “citadels of anti-Christ”) are “places devoid of human virtues.” Would not Christ have reeognized Gandi or Nehru or other non-Christ- ians of similar stature as

having human virtues? “Kenyan” will not do SO, for he knows the “truth” about Kenya and Christ- ianity.

Behind “Kenyan’s” exag- gerated dietion and lack of logic, however, there arc some points worth eonsider- ing. One is that black Ken- yans are worried (not “aas/ numbers are terrified”) about the results of independence for a politically immature people; tribal warfare and personal vendettas are two of several possibilities that ’ “Kenyan” lists. Yet what country under the thumb of another country for several generations will not encoun- ter these troubles under in- dependence ? - Ireland and India are two of many that come to mind. Do these bogeys then rule out the right of self-determination? As for poli tie al immaturity, how can the blacks achieve political maturity unless they have an opportunity to gov- ern? Incidentally, the black representatives in the Kenya “parliament” have had as many years of political ex- perience as the men who now govern Ghana and Nigeria.

“But “Kenyan” is appall- ed at what would happen (to him and his ilk?) if the “old restraints” were removed. “Chaos and utter degrada- tion,” he says, would inevit- ably result from giving ignor- ant blacks the right of self- government. Therefore, he would not give independence to Kenya or any other eoun- try in similar circumstances, for this freedom would be “freedom from law and order and the decencies of civilized life”. He does not consider that for the blacks it would mean freedom from a system of exploitation that allots the best farmland to the whites and imposes a double pay standard for whites and blacks equally qualified and doing the same job. For “Kenyan” such matters ap- pear to be irrevelant __ Trade Unions, he says, serve only as “intimidators” ; “the decencies of civilized life” must be preserved for him and his African friends, but not made available to the “inferior” blacks. In the face of rising African nationalism, the consequences of applying “Kenyan’s” apartheid plan would be anarchy and blood- shed on the grand scale 1_ South Africa has more to worry about than an indc- pendent Kenya.

Ethical values,thank good- ness, have gone beyond those which “Kenyan” epouses. The United Nations today recognizes the African na- tions’ demand for equality, for the U. N. charter is based on an ideal of freedom that stresses the importance of every human being and his right to treatment (econo- mical, social, political) on a par with that accorded every other individual in his nation if not in the world.

A word of solace to “Ken- yan” : the U. N.‘s action in the Congo is an indication that it intends to protect the rights of all groups (even white minorities); so “Ken- yan” has a guarantee of fair play if he will but accord it to the non-whites.

Yours sincerely,

James S. Stone, Department of English

A Sodden Affair It has been a good number

of weeks now since some vague omnipotent. power dropped his little finger to signal the beginning of this vast piece of construction which is erupting on the campus. I have heard some say that it is the beginnings of a new bowling alley, while others adamantly maintain that it’s a new swimming pool. Still more are of the opinion that it is a vast landscaping effort which was begun as a winter works programme. One particularly malicious rumour has it that it is really the foundation for a vast new engineering building. I cannot attest to the validity of any of these guesses but whatever it is, it appears to be progressing very quickly.

In those weeks since Sep- tember, that arid piece of land, dusty and dry as it was, has been magically transformed into something not unlike an oozy primeval swamp. When I walk along those narrow slippery board- walks, I feel like some inno-

cent prehistoric creature which is walking on the very edge of a bottomless tar pit. Step off those walks in some places and it is a ease of “Alas poor so and so, I knew him well.” On the outer fringes I saw some poor young chap whose black M.G. had churned forward so far and then had begun to settle at an alarming rate. There was on the owner’s face a look of vapid helpless- ness so typical of an engineer.

The event which prompted this piece of writing, if I may use that term loosely, was a quiet ceremony that took place on campus lately. The first sod was turned for this new building. I think the thing that made the cere- mony seem so funny to me, was the fact that besides there being dozens of exca- vations completed, there was by this time, no sod left to turn. Perhaps I am unjustly burlesquing the ceremony, for who knows, someone may have had the presence of mind to bring along some instant grass seed.

8th November, 1960

The Editor, Student Newspaper, University of Waterloo.

Dear Sir: It read with interest the

item “This Freedom” in your issue of November 4th. Your readers, however, would probably appreciate it if “Kenyan” would clarify some confusions and appar- en t inaccuracies.

1. What is his authority for the statement that “vast number of African black people are terrified . . .“? How has this information been obtained? Who con- sulted how many Africans when? How representative were those consulted of gen- eral African opinion? What tests were taken to ensure that consulted opinion was representative opinion?

2. What is the basis of his statement that her Majesty’s government is ignorant of conditions in Africa? What sources of information does he have that are not avail- able to the government that has been administering Ken- ya since 1895?

3. What evidence does he have of bribery and corrup- tion? Can he produce any figures to show that bribery and corruption are more prevalent now than, say, twenty or thirty years ago? Is he able to establish any casual relationship between bribery and corruption on the one hand and the nation- alist movement on the other?

4. In reference to the “barbarous consequences” of freedom, on what grounds is

umed that Kenva will ‘allow the example of” India, where the situation was com- plicated by intense religious animosities or the Congo, where there was a total lack Df preparation for independ- ?nce, rather than the West Indian Federation, Ceylon, Nigeria or Malaya, all of which achieved independ- ence with a minimum of violent consequences?

5. How is a trade union movement, limited to some 50,000 urban workers out of a total labour force of some 450,000, able to intimidate a completely non - unionized rural labour force? “Kenyan” would do well to read the Report of the 1953-55 East Africa Royal Commission on labour conditions in the Pro- tectorate.

6. Far from being “not interested” the world press gave the fullest. possible cov- erage to the Mau Mau uprising and displayed al- most unprecededented un- animity in condemning the Mau Mau atrocities. The incidents at the Hola deten- tion camp received far less publicity, not all of it un- favourable to British in- terests.

7. What is the statistical evidence of the decline of Christianity in Kenya? In regard to Christian ethics I refer “Kenyan” to Galatians 3 (25-29).

8. Who intimidates what press, how?

Lack of clarification on the above points would suggest that “Kenyan’s” letter can be dismissed as a farrago of emotional rationalizationf through which a racialist quietens a guilty conscience,

Yours sincerely, T. H . Qualter

letters to the Editor cont’d )ear Sir:

The inherent weakness in ny governing body which elies on free election to learn he peoples’ will, appears to be the indifference of the beople involved. In the elec- ion for the president of the ngineering society, only 42 To If the eligible voters did vote. t is interesting to note that he majority of this 42y0 was nade up of students from he same year as Nick Hath- bway. Does this mean that he election was “rigged”?

don’t think so. The large urnout for Nick Hathaway ndieates that his classmates vere interested enough in the uture of the engineering ,oeiety to get out and vote. In my opinion, if Mike 3ribar had been elected, the lighest percentage of voters vould still have been from (hat particular group.

The excuse offered by the eemaining 58% of the stu- lents is that the polls were noved before they could rote. The voting was held irst in the annex cafeteria, md later in the physics luilding lobby. Many of ;hose in the cafeteria who jut off voting until they had inished their meals found ;he polls closed. These same leople were completely ig- lorant of the fact that polls Mere open in the physics luilding. I feel that there Nas a certain amount of confusion in the way in vhieh the voting process was landled, and I feel that this confusion is not a very egitimate excuse for those ;hat did not vote.

However, instead of blam- ng anyone, I think it would be worthwhile to take a good look at the voting set up itself. Our problem is not unique: one finds it at all levels of government. ‘The first solution that occurred to me was to have eompul- sory voting of some form. Further thought along these lines led me to discover that Queen’s University has been effectively using a eompul- sory voting system for many years.

Thus I propose that we set up a voting system as fol- lows:

1. Permanent voting places be established in each build- ing of the University.

2. Student be required to register at one of these polls during the election period.

3. Students not registering be required to explain their absence to the engineering society and, if the excuse is not though valid, be required to pay a fine.

To elaborate slightly, I do not propose that we require students to vote. If a student wishes to abstain, he has every right to do so. How- ever by compelling registra- tion, we can be assured that each student is fulfilling his responsibility as a member of this University.

Dear Mr. Editor:

The current question ask by the paper is, “What should the paper be ea!led?” Both “The Coryphaeus” lead- er, and ‘Wuntiat” have been suggested. I would like to submit another question and name.

Question: What has hap- pened to the School Paper?

Answer: It has become very important and very proper. The reason for the existence of a school paper is not to inform, or to attempt to an unwanted cultural standard for the student body, but to encourage free thought and provide some degree of entertainment. The New Paper fell well short of the entertainment mark in my estimation. As for en- couraging thinking I am willing to bet that not ten people can recall or will express an opinion about any article in the first issue. A paper showing the proud masthead of B. S. (Bi-Week- ly Science) never became drunk with its own import- ance . . . Perhaps we should try Mud Hog.

DIBELIUS

Bishop Otto Dibelius, European President of the World Council of Churches, lectures at the Mutual ,Life Auditorium.

The students and faculty of the University of Water- loo were indeed fortunate this past weekend to have the opportunity to listen to Bishop Otto Dibelius of East Berlin and Brandenburg. Bishop Dibelius, who is the European president of the World Council of Churches, spoke at the Mutual Life Auditorium on Friday, Nov- ember 11, at 8.00 p.m. His visit was sponsored by the University of Waterloo and by the Canadian Council of Churches.

Bishop Dibelius, well- .own for his firm stand ainst Nazism and Com- unism, spoke of the neces- ,y of keeping Berlin from lling into Communist rids. He enumerated many

the di%culties that he countered while serving as shop in East Berlin, and iterated his faith that lristianity would survive East Berlin despite all the

:orts made the Commun- ;s to have the population nbrace atheism. Bishop Dibelius’ speech

3s extremely through-pro- Iking and highly interest- g and informative. The beech was translated by ev. Dr. J. W. Winterhager, rector of the Berlin Ecu- enieal Seminary, who ac- bmpanied Bishop Dibelius. Music was provided by

le University of Waterloo [en’s Chorus, who were aking their first public jpearanee. The chorus sang Hymn of the Netherlands” id James Tupman (Arts I) ,ng a solo of the 23rd salm. The offering that was

lken was designated for the rorld Council of Churches efugee and Relief Fund, Id the chairman for the Tening was Dr. J. G. Hagey, resident of the University.

To All Electrical Engineering Students Re: Professional Engineering Associations

Several of you have asked me which of the professional engineering associations you should join - E.I.C., I.R.E., A.I.E.I%, and so on. Con- fusion arises, of course, from the fact that there are so many professional engineer- ing organizations which you can join as a student.

Quite apart from the nat- ural human “herding” in- stincts which all of us have, and which causes us to want to belong to some organized group, there are other more tangible aspects of joining at least one professional assoc- iation. A reputable profes- sional association assists its members throughout their lives in becoming better men in their chosen profession, and better citizens. It strives at improving the standard of the profession, gives employ- ment assistance, promotes and maintains scholarship within the profession, main-

- tains co-operation between the graduate and the under- graduate engineer, and so on, in keeping with the ideals of the profession and the de- mands of a healthy society.

I therefore recommend ‘that you join at least one professional association. As electrical engineers, you should join either (or both) of the two major electrical engineering associations in North America ~ the Amer- ican Institute of Electrical Engineers (A.I.E.E.), and the Institute of Radio En- gineers (I.R.E.).TheA.I.E.E. founded in 1884, is the older of the two, though the I.R.E. founded in 1912, is the larger in terms of membership. -

There is not a lot to choose between the two institutions, though the A.I.E.E. has tra- ditionally been associated more with the electrical pow- er and heavy electrical in- dustries than has the I.R.E. ; though the A.I.E.E.‘s activ- ities are now extending more and more into the electronics areas. In particular, a major portion of automatic control systems engineers belong to the A.I.E.E. In addition, the A.I.E.E. has always been strong in certain communica- tion, areas __ particularly in wire line telephone, tele- graph, television, and fac- similie systems.

The I.R.E., as its name implies, was born with the age of radio transmission. It leans predominantly in the electronics direction and, as the years have passed, has become the major harbour of radar, digital Computer, semi conductor electronics, and microwave engineering acti- vities. Nevertheless, the two institutions have much in common so far as profession- al interest is concerned. Per- haps the only reason that They do not merge into a single unit is because they have quite different financial and administrative struc- tures.

We do not have either an A.I.E.E. or an I.R.E. Stu- dent Branch on campus at the University of Waterloo as yet, simply because both institutions have a regula- tion which precludes the establishment of a student branch until after the first class has graduated from a university. Our first class (of undergraduate engineers) will as you know, be graduating in the summer of 1962. Preliminary negotiations have already been made towards establishing a Joint A.I.E.E. - I.R.E. Student Branch on campus in the Fall of 1962.

You are eligible, however, to join the I.R.E. and A.I.E.E. as independent stu- dent members. There is a Kitchener-Waterloo Section of the I.R.E., and Professor G. J. Dufault is official student representative on campus. He has student ap- plication blanks and would be pleased to discuss I.R.E. membership with you. The nearest A.I.E.E. Section is at Galt. We do not have an official on-campus A.I.E.E. student representative as yet though Professor W. N. Meikle is a member and would be pleased to advise you on A.I.E.E. affairs.

I trust that this informa- tion is of some help. Please feel free to drop into my office any time to discuss it further if you wish.

Dear Good :

Tell them they can hold you.

WRAC News The newly formed Water-

loo U Radio Amateurs club will soon be “on the air.” The club, having approxi- mately one hundred and fifty dollars on hand plus another sizable amount promised, plans to go ahead and build the transmitter station. At present the “shack” in Swei- tzer House holds only an army surplus “Ninetten” set and some bare furnishings. This will change shortly when the code practice equip- ment is brought in.

At the meeting, held on Wednesday, Nov. 9th, the members discussed the prob- lem of the type of transmitter to buy and also of what equipment was needed at present. Plans are to buy a Canadian product if possible. At the same meeting the guestion of a new and larger executive was raised. It was felt that because of a larger and more interested mem- bership the club needs more than just a president and a secretary-treasurer.The pres- ident (Erie Manning) and the secretary-treasurer (Ted Hanner) will remain as the executive, but new posts will be added.

The long-range plans of the club include a large membership of licenced am- ateurs (there are only two at present), and of course the wall papering of the shack with confirmation cards from Hams all over the world.

Students interested in am- ateur radio, are urged to join the club flow h~a~~~~s~~ half the fun is building the sta- tion.

What Are Hams? Arts and Science claim the

Engineers are natural or rather unnatural born hams. The engineers of course need not retaliate to such fits of jealousy. The term “Ham,” when applied to a radio amateur, is not applied in disgust. It was developed very early at the beginning of this century when the English amateurs were called Ams which is a shortening of Amateurs. The Americans took on the term but felt it sounded too British so they added an “H”.

I am attending university in my freshman year. My problem is that I am too beautiful. It may sound odd, but after a boy has taken me out three or four times, he stops because he thinks he will not be able to hold me. How can I convince them they are wrong.

Dear George : I am in first year Arts.

Recently I have become in- terested in an Engineer who is in nearly every activity. I watch him play rugger and help him with his newspaper work. Now he seems to know I’m after him. How can I convince him I’m there as a journalist and not as a pur- suer.
