‘Focus’, the U of W engineering journal, was first published in December. It’s nothing like Mac’s.

ac WNses n of copyright infringement

I McMaster University has accused Waterloo of4nfringing 6n their copy- right privileges by publishing Focus.

Engineering Society president Toks Oshinowo started off the first meeting of the Engineering Society on May 2 by reading a letter from the McMaster engineers, claiming that a magazine entitled ticMaster engineers in focus, has been pub- lished there since 1964.

The M&aster publication in no way resembles the University of Waterloo’s Focus, first published in December.

Since Waterloo is not using Mc-

Gory needs luck, staff , this sumtier

Wish the Coryphaeus luck. This is the first summer it has

&nned to publish regularly--every second Friday.

Why not help out on the staff? There will be a staff meeting in the board of publications office at ‘7:30 Wednesday. Refreshments.

There are 860 students studying on cambus for the spring-summer term: 707 have returned from en- gineering work terms, 38 from ap- plied physics and 115 from co-op mathematics jobs. (These figures are approximate.)

As well, about a thousand copies of the Cory are being mailed tostu- dents now on their work terms ac- ross Canada. The paper is also available to any vacati0ning regu- lar-program student who cares to drop into the Cory office and to a faculty-staff population of about a thousand.

Master’s title but merely one word from it and since no copyright laws have been broken, the Engineering Society decided that a reply to Mc- Master in the form of apolite letter was all that the situation warranted.

*-P * , The sock hop held on April 29 proved to be a success. TheEngin- eering Society decided to hold are- peat at the beginning of winter ‘67.

*se The administration has agreed to

cancel classes on Friday, June 17 in order to allow everyone to take part in the demonstrations that will take place on Engineering Day,part of the June 17-19 engineering week- end.

A special guest speaker, the eco- nomic advisor to the minister of in- dustry, will address theschoolFri- day evening.

A car rally is planned for Satur- day morning, followed by theannual Sewer Bowl game in the afternoon.

The location for the semiformal Saturday evening has not been con- firmed. During the intermission of the dance the prizes and. tokens will be awarded.

A beach party will end the weekend with a splash.

**e-8 A program of summer sports is

b&g planned. At the presentitap- pears that baseball will be the maj- or concern.

An engineering mascot is still in the planning stage. The out&term society has decided to push the mat- ter, and invites any ideas.

The old problem of gaining the recognition of the Association Of Professional ‘Engineers of Ontario has cropped up again. ‘Dean D. T. Wright asked the Engineering So- ciety to leave the matter in the hands of the administration because of its “delicacy and complexity*‘.

Need more Ontario funds if expansion to continue

Without increased financial aid from the Ontario government, the University of Waterloo will be un- able tocarryoutits expansionplans. Its faculties willsuffer accordingly.

A number of other special consid- erations were presented tothemin- isters as proof of c2ur value to the public in ways not matched by most other universities.

Incorporation will also mean that Council, as Coryphaeus‘ publisher, will be accepting legal responsibfl- ity for the newspaper.

444 ,_ Council also decided to move its

deposits from the university bush- ess uffice to the Bank of Montreal. The reasons giveri were inefffdency and the “couldn’t-care-less*’ atti- tude of the business office on the one hand and the efficiency and in- terest shown by the bank on the other. The additional serviw of- fered by the bank include daily ac- counting. The business office ‘l>arely managed to fork out yearly accountings “, said one Council member. I

444 Student Council also dedded to

limit the budget of the orientation committee to five dollars per fresh- lllkl.

A message from8 the ‘director.S.,, ’ As you know the coordination department origin-

ated a Newsletter last fall in an attempt to keep you informed of our activities while youwere on your out- term. \

Upon your return to campus you were requested to fill in a questionnaire asking “Is it worthwhile? Yes .or no **) as well as to make any comments that could lie helpful ,to us in improving the Newsletter and the type of news and information you wished to receive. This questionnaire-was to be submitted unsigned.

Most of the students who returned completed the questionnaire and of these 97 percent indicated,that the Newsletter was worthwhile. 51 percent added corn-, merits and of these several indicated that we were duplicating the news supplied by the Coryphaeus.

This was not uur intent, ratherwewere attempt- ing to supplement and complement what normally ap- pears in the Coryphaeus but morespedficallyslanted to the out-term co-operative students. ’

We were both commended and cridcized for some of the material appearing-criddzed for an incorrect list of electives. Such material we obtain from the source we believe to be responsible for it and only pass it along to you as provided to us.

During the winter term we provided examination .results for those students who wrote in December, Agam we received criticism for not having made

them available earlier, bu+ fairness we should say that they were published and sent out in the Newsletter in less than a week after theywerereceived by us. A criticism was voiced by onestudent who was unhappy that his name appeared - eva though he had cleared

all subjects at a good level. By far the majority of students were pleased to receive the overall results and because of this it is our intention to’publish them for the winter term. Should therebeanyone who does not wish to have his name appear insuch a list, please advise either the registrar’s office or me at once.

It is planned that there willbeseven issues of the Coryphaeus published during the spring and summer months and it is-our intention to incorporate in it once a month the Newsletter. Wehavearranged, by supply- ing out-term address labels (taken from your job- reply cards 1) that you will bemailedeach copy of the Coryphaeus published during the above’ period. (We should say that we are picking uppart of the price-tag for this endeavor.)

We hope you will like this effort and again when. you return to campus youwillbeprovided with a ques- tionnaire to obtain your reaction to this joint project.

Sincerely, A. S. BARBER, P. Eng. 444

‘Most active dub’ S plans busy summer I

&ME--the American Sodety of Mechanical Engineers--has planned a full slate of extracurricular acti= vides for the engineers this sum- mer term.

As the course club for mechan- ical engineers on campus, ASME will organlie numerous outings. Some will be open to all faculties.

&ME’s most recent noteworthy achievement was ‘winningtheBendix Award for 1965-66 at the ASME region 5 conference in Ada, Ohio, April 15~$6. Waterloo% combined A and B sections were chosen as the best chapter among the univer- sities in Ontario, Michigan, Ohio and parts of New York and Penn- sylvania.

At the same time Waterloo won the 8‘man-miles trophy” for having the greatest number of members travel&g the longest distance--it was a walk-away.

It will be Waterloo’s turn to host this conference in 1967. ThetU ofW _ student section of ASME is attempt- ing to keep up its good record for the coming year, and has planned a wide variety of projects. Some of them will be run with thesupport of the Engineering Society. ’

conducted through ‘the tire division of the Dominion Rubber Company May 4. Fifty students turned outfor the successful two-and-a-half-hour tour which concluded with a resume and refreshments in the company cafeteria. The next tour is schedul- ed for May 25 at Canadian Blower and Forge. ,

ASME *s almost traditionalnoon- hour films will be shown again this term every Wednesday at 12tlO in El09. *Challenge and response’and Qac-I* are scheduled for May 18, and ‘Memory devices’ for May 25.

, If all these films arenot available they will be supplemented by other appropriate topics borrowed from the mechanical engineering depart- ment. Everyone is welcome toat- tend these films. As ‘many ASME members as possible shouldattend, because the general business meet- . ings wffl be’held after the movies.

A program of speakers will also be sponsored by ASME this term& conjunction with theEngineering So- ciety. Men will be selectedfromin-

,,dustry togivetalks--generalenough to make them of interest to all en- gineers.

444

L The first in- a series of club tours through industrial plants in the Kitchener-Waterloo area was

The first of the three lectures, on Tuesday, will deal with the op- portunities for engineers to do work in the sales field. Consultingengfn- eers and engfneers in manufacturing will be covered later in the term.

The crowd around the IBM 1620 is typical.

by Alfred E. Joseph The numerical methods course

has a snag in it: too many people and too little computer time,

There is one computer, the 1620, for about 150 people. Each person has at least two programs to run each week. Each of theseprograms has to be run at least three times to debug it. An estimate of one minute per program seems reason- able. The time involved is 15 hours.

The math department seems to have decided, “we can close down the 1710 room altogether andrnaybe even cut back on the 1620 hours.”

One flaw in this reasoning is that the 1620 is going almost solidly for all the times the room is open and the machine is more than an hour behind during peak periods (after- noons* evening, and mornings),

The 1710, a faster machine, how- ever. is available in the afternoons in an effort tx alleviate the situation. This hasn’t helped much,

There must be a remedy--let’s view the alternatives: --approxi- mately 150 students; maybe we can persuade half of them to go out ona work term right now.

--one minute per program3 may- be we can tell everybody to write shorter programs.

--one and a half computers ; let’s take up a collectionfor $200,000 and buy another one*

Not much of this makes sense, ad- mitedly, so the real alternatives boil down to--write the programs right the first time or schedule the numerical methods problems in s U& a way so as to permit a smaller number to use the machines in any one week,

Hudgins, ‘However # our own inter- est lies mainly in exploring more fundamentally the mechanism ofthe process.‘*

Calcium carbide. is used in the production of cyanamide forfertfli- zer, and is reacted with water to form acetylene, a fuel for welding torches and an important raw mat- erial for a great varietycf chemical syntheses e

To produce calcium carbide a great deal of electrical energy is needed to react quicklime and car- bon in the molten state, at temper- atures of 2,000 degrees centigrade. By discovering the mechanismpro- cesses in the formation of the churn- ical, Professors Gall and Hudgins hope to react the quicklime and car- bon in the solid state at half the temperature, saving greatly in elec- trical power.

Professor Gall completed his un- dergraduate work at Royal Military College and the University of Toron- co. After teaching at theUniversity of Addis Ababa for three years he received his master of applied xi= ence in chemical engineering from Queen% University. At present he is completing his Ph D thesis atthe University of Minnesota.

Professor Hudgins received his bachelor and master of applied science in chemical engineering from U of T and his Ph D from Princeton.

Both have been members of the univ6mity of Waterloo faculty for two years.

Again it’s time to go to work on Focus.

The first issue of the University of Waterloo engineering journal was a great success and a compliment to our student body, said Bryan Armstrong, Focus spokesman.

‘%et us aim even higher now and work on an even beaer Focus. Do yourself a favor by giving a handon the staff. The experience and satis- faction you wfflgain will prove more than enough reward for your efforts,” said Mr. Armstrong.

It is especially important that firs t-and second-year students join in to gain experience, Mr. Arm- strong said, so that theymayassume editorial responsibilities later.

This summer’s Focus willcontain about the same number of articles as the first issw. However theem- phasis is on short, concise article that make liberal use of photographs or illustrations.

Three prizes of $25 each have been provided for the essay contest, one for each of the three categories:

--a technical essay from an un- dergraduate.

--a nontechnical essay from an undergraduate.

--an essay of either type from a graduate.

Wants change in emphasis

VANCOUVER (CUP)--From the platform of Gabor Mat.e,whois run- ning for president of the UBC Alma Mater Society:

(‘It is ridiculous that we can vote . in provincial and federal elections deciding matters of international importance but have no say iri the running of our own university.

“Senior students should have a voice in setting the curriculum) some courses which students might like to take may not be offered.

“I feel the faculty should strive to havepublishing of their own works de-emphasized and teaching and dialogue with students emphasized much more.

‘@On residences students livingin them should have more voice in run- ning the facilities they live in as well as the university. The idea of co-operative housing should be in- vestigated, especially since it has worked at many other universities.

%iscussions with the adrninis- tradon should lead to student ob- servers on both the board of gover- nors and the senate.”

The appointment of the members of the Student Council executive board this year was handled badly. From the political point of view it will be difficult for this executive to function as a co-ordinating body for the entire campus because it

>~consists of seven artsmen, one en- gineer and not one science rep- resentative.

A number of considerations made the situation even worse. First the new vice-president, Steve Ireland,

\ was President Mike Sheppard’s cam- paign manager. Secondly there seems to be little doubt that Mr. Sheppard discouraged Joe Recchia’s application for the position of trea- surer. Finally, minutes after Mr. Sheppard had asked Council to create the new post of information committ- ee chairman, he nominated his girl- friend for the post.

a bad start

If all this is any indication of what we can expect from our new president in the coming months then it’s going to be a long hard year.

Admittedly no one else applied for any of the executive positions-

except Mr. Recchia, who later with- drew his application, thereby giving Bill Siddall, the only engineer on the executive, the treasurers posi- tion. However, in vi,ew of the impor- tance of this committe, one wonders why Mr. Sheppard couldn’t have stirred up some interest as he did during the Council elections when he could be found running through the hall looking for people to si,gn nomination forms.

There is no Science Society and so science students may find it hard to voice objections to their lack of fair representation.

But there is a very strong Eng- ineering Society, which would have little trouble rocking Council’s boat, if given a cause to do so. Especially since the presidential election saw the new president elected primarily by artsmen, it would probably not take too much to get the engineers making waves.

Mike Sheppard is supposed to rep- resent the whole student body. He is supposed to be a cohesive force. So far he’s doing a poor job in this capacity.
