BESMIRCHING CA ADA’S IMMIGRATIQN l l l

Immigration Minister El- len Fairclough recently an- nounced the new regulations to govern admission of im- migrants to Canada. Be- ginning February 1, any person in any country of the world will be admissible to Canada if he can satisfy the Immigration Department on these two points:

1. That he has the educa- tion, training, skills or other special qualifications to be- come established successfully in Canada.

2. That he has a specific job waiting for him, or will be able to support himself in Canada until he finds work; or, alternately, that a relative who is a Canadian citizen is prepared to sponsor him. ’

In the Monday, January 22, edition of the Globe and 2MuiZ, an editorial hailed these regulations briefly but maintained that they were not the answer to our basic immigration problem, that of admitting more immi- grants. The editorial implied that unless Canada admits more immigrants her chances of survival are slim. In the words of The Globe and Mail, “If Canada is to grow and be prosperous its first re- quirement is more people, and they can come in time only through immigration.” These are very noble words but they do not move me.

I am sympathetic to im- migration but probably for the same reason as other

Canadians who do not brand immigrants an evil source of unemployment. Among the nations of the world Canada is relatively prosperous and a country of great potential. Human decency compels us sympathizers to admit that. those people of poorer coun- tries who have the initiative and the desire to start life anew in a more prosperous country should be allowed to do so, but on& in com- pliance with the two specifica- tions mentioned.

I don’t believe the skilled labour shortage in Canada is so serious a problem to warrant Canada’s concen- trated search for skilled im- migrants. Moreover, if these rules are relaxed, Canada’s unemployment problems will only increase. Are we to expect that these skilled New Canadians will carry their skills to Canada’s bar- ren areas and employ such skills in the development of new resources” Certainly not! Once we beg& . to direct trsmc on such a SC&, i-m, migration will grind to a halt. Inasmuch as these skill- ed peoples will converge upon the cities and more heavily populated areas I see no reason for Canada to “take active and vigorous steps to promote immigration.“’

Let immigration continue but let Fairclough’s new regulations be administered as strictly as possible.

RE: Truth Seeker vs. Boon

I enjoyed very much Mr. Abel’s delineation of the “truth”, and his revelations of the mechanics of Roman Catholic indulgences. Few indeed “are the individuals who either have the time or the inclination to defend a personal conviction even when that zeal is not accord- ing to knowledge.”

However, it seems to me that Mr. Abel is more con- cerned with enlightening us on the defects of, and runn- ing down, an Institution about which he knows noth- ing, than seeking for his “truth”. I politely suggest that, if really believing the existence of these defects, he contact an official of the Church and either be set right or, as is more likely, set the official right.

As pertaining to this “truth”, the existence of a soul, I will neither match quotations from the Great Book, nor use them to

THE “TRUTH” SEEKER “prove” my point. I will merely relate an incident which, I believe, is some- what akin to the situation in which we presently find our- selves.

In the classroom of a renowned medical school, a doctor of anatomy had just completed the dissection of a cadaver. Every bone, every organ, every tissue had been accounted for. “And there,” the professor said as he turned belligerently towards his students, “is the human body - everything shown, nothing unexplained. Now can any of you tell me where the soul is?”

One student answered “Sir if you show me the life of that body, if you show me its remembrances, its affections, its passions born not of lust but of love, its sorrows, joys, and hates, then I will show you the soul.”

COlYTlWENT OF CONTRASTS

Circular villages in the swamps of the Upper Nile and an imported, transplant- ed Europe - these are the diametrically opposed scenes in Africa today. Are the changes in these- Native soc- ieties to bring about a peace- ful, co-operative existence or must they lead to temporar- ily suppressed but inevitable forces of disruption, upheav- al, and catastrophe on an unprecedented scale?

There is no doubt that the destiny of indigenous races has been tragic in the process of contact with European invasion. We speak glibly about the “spread of West- ern civilization,” and about “giving the benefits of our own culture to the Natives.” In reality, Europeans in the past sometimes exterminated whole island peoples, ex- propriated most of the wealth of savage races, and intro- duced slavery in a specially cruel and pernicious form. Even if they abolished it later the Europeans treated the expatriated Negroes as out- casts. Often when irremedi- able harm had been done, it was the practice to call a “commission on scientific in- quiry,” not to rectify the wrong but, in reality, to help save the face of the govern- ment and to deaden the pangs of conscience. -

The primary concern to- day is in educating the African. Yet education is planned, financed, and direc- ted by Europeans who, as a rule, are working ‘for definite practical ends. Unfortunate- ly, the result in the past has often been that educated Africans have no place in either the tribal world or in the European community.

The colour bar in the social and cultural, as well as in the economic sense, largely determines the rela- tions between Europeans and Africans. Nevertheless, in these relations there is co- operation and give and take.

NEW YORK (CUP - Special) - Canada is sup- porting Communism in Cuba charged U. S. Senator Wayne Morse February 11.

Morse, who addressed the Fourth International Affairs Conference for College Edi- tors here, told Canadian University Press president Ted Johnston that Canada’s economic trade with Cuba was “inexcusable.” He asser- ted that because of this trade Canada was supporting Cub- an Communism. “Canada is putting finance ahead of freedom,” he told Johnston.

“I’ve told Canadian par- liamentarians this,” he said, “and they have been caught flatfooted. There is no excuse for this trade.”

He said that every day a plane takes off from Cuba, comes to Canada and loads up with parts for machinery, then returns to the island.

Morse, a Democratic Sen- ator from Oregon, is Chair- man of the Subcommittee on Latin America, Foreign Re- lations Committee.

That is the outburst of an American politician. With examples like this around, it is not hard to see where Red Skelton got the inspiration for his ‘Senator Klaghorn.’ Criticism of’ this sort is wholly unjustified and in- excusable, it is the decision of Canadian politicians and Canadian businessmen whe- ther or not to ship goods to Cuba or to any other nation that we may choose. What is the United States that it can dictate the foreign policy of Canada, or determine where we can sell our goods in the world markets?

As far as Canadian trade with Cuba is concerned, it is all done according to the “NATO list.” This is an enumeration of various types of military supplies, machin- ery for the manufacture of armaments and the like, which the members of NATO have agreed not to export to Communist coun- tries. This agreement is the main instrument for the con- trol of trade with Communist countries by the Western nations, and there has been no evidence yet of Canada having violated this embar- go. Canada trades with many nations of the Communist bloc according to the terms of this “NATO list” . . . as does the United States. Why then should Canada single out Cuba as an example, just to follow suit with the United States?

As a matter of fact, we should dissociate ourselves as much as possible with the United States view about Cuba and Latin America. The popular Latin American view is that the United States is the leader of the forces of oppression, and the status quo, in Latin America. Last April’s abortive invasion and the more recent Punta de1 Este conference of the 0 A S have confirmed this view. This is not a good reputation t

to build up for Canada. The United States calls

itself a democracy. If it purports to be a democracy then they will have to act as one and not as an autocracy. They accept and respect the governments of Poland and Czechoslovakia, in time they must come to accept and respect the Castro regime of Cuba. The United States must live up to its demo- cratic pretensions, on pain of losing whatever credit it has had in the past. They say that they are different from the Communists . . . here now, with a powerful giant opposed to a tiny island, is a chance to prove that they mean what they say.

Does trade with Commun- ist countries “support” them as Senator Morse charges? Why then does the United States itself indulge in such massive support to other Communist lands? (Includ- ing billions in outright gifts to Jugoslavia?). Why then do our NATO allies buy $1,000 million worth of goods from the U S S R (trade figures for the first six months of 1960) and even $152 million from China (in the same period)? United States retaliation against Cuba is ’ no more than spite because the Cubans at last refused to follow every whim and dic- tate of the mighty United States.

It is difficult to say why Senator Morse would make such charges against Canada. He may have been inspired by the current Liberal cam- paign to convince the elec- torate that the Diefenbaker Government has been aiding the cause of Communism all along by permitting the ship- ment of strategic goods to Cuba. Or it may have been just a product of his own wishful thinking. But what- ever it was, Senator Morse has no right trying to inter- fere in the internal affairs of Canada. Were this country violating our international agreements we should ex- pect criticism and censure from abroad, but as long as we follow our international obligations the foreigners should keep from meddling in our affairs. Senator Mor- se’s advice may cost nothing, but if that’s all he can ’ propose, it’s worth nothing.

N.F.C.U.S. To Sponsor Red Cross Blood Drive

The National Federation - of Canadian University Stu- dents (NFCUS), in co-opera- tion with the Red Cross, is sponsoring a nation-wide blood drive on or about February 14th. Inter-faculty and inter-university compe- titions will stimulate this drive, run by committees on 38 Canadian campuses.

There can be no direct inducements to give blood,

NUCLEAR ARMS FOR GAElADA The defense of Canada depends today on the collective

security of NATO more than any other mechanism in the world. If NATO suffers a set-back so do we; if NATO scores an advance, our future is that much more definite. The post-Sputnik years have seen an alarming resurgence of Soviet military potential, so that today their nuclear strike- first ability is probably as great, perhaps even greater, than that of the United States. In view of this, NATO is going to be faced with increasing challenges and involved in retreats, surrenders, and abandonment of principles and freedoms to Soviet force, unless the strength of NATO is raised enough to be able to defend ourselves. To do so every member nation of NATO must be reads to assume their obligations, and contribute as much to the the group protects the individual member.

defense of all as

The defense strategy of NATO is based on the use of tactical atomic weapons. No units involved in this defence plan, as Canadian troops in Europe are, can hope to make any worthwhile contribution to this defence unless they are equipped with the proper arms. It is analagous to sending a man out with a club for defence against a man with a high- powered rifle who is determined to kill him. Canadian units must have the proper weapons for defence, and at this time this can mean only nuclear arms. The same holds true for the air defence of North America, only nuclear weapons can provide any substance of resistance.

It is time that this issue ceased to be a political football. Either we commit ourselves to a defence of our way of life, or we abandon this and beg protection of a benevolent (we hope) super-power. If the decision is made to defend ourselves, we must accept fully and without selfish reserva- tions the commitments of a collective defence policy. This will involve, besides making profits from the raw materials supply for nuclear weapons, the maintenance of a component of the nuclear deterrant of NATO.

The argument is made that Canada’s refusal of nuclear arms can make a greater contribution to the cause of peace. This is ridiculous. This is to suppose that the Soviet bully is more likely to be impressed by a weak and unarmed Canada, than by a Canada that has the nuclear capabilities of its own defence. This is to suppose that the nations of the world will have more respect for a nation afraid to defend its own ideals, than that of a nation confident enough in its own way of life to consider it worth preserving. This is to suppose that Canada, a mite beside the super-powers that we are. trying to influence, is going to have an influence in managing their affairs when they know that we cannot manage our own affairs (unemployment, economic recession, Coyne affair, B.C. Electric grab, Columbia River fiasco, etc.).

Morally, there is no reason not to have nuclear weapons. Practically, since we are spending $600 million on nuclear :,weapons carriers, we must have the proper war-heads for these to be effective. This means nuclear arms. The time has come to decide whether or not Canadians still have the courage to defend ourselves, or whether we shall set the example in international affairs of begging for mercy. What shall it be?. The True North Strong and Free? or The Chicken North, Scared from Sea to Sea? ’

SOPHOMORE SWING l m m

Something I would very much like to see here at Waterloo is a dance put on entirely by members of the lower years of Engineering students.

Fpe:ifically! I would like to see a semi-formal dance, perhaps less ambitious than the Engineering Week-end, put on by Engineering years I and II. A good time for such a dance would be at the end of the second week of the summer term. This par- ticular week-end would be a good time for such an event in that it would not clash with the summer Engineer- ng Week-end, and it would

also come at a time when year I students were familiar enough with their surround- ings to be of some real help. I believe that such a dance would be of value in that it would provide valuable ex- perience in organization for the lower years, as well as giving them an -opportunity to become involved in the planning of such an event without first having to crash the sphere of activities of studenta from higher years.

This of course is merely a suggestion, but one I think which would be well worth investigation.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

The Waterloo Recreation Commission is sponsoring a series of free Sunday evening concerts featuring the Kitch- ener-Waterloo All-Star Con- cert Band and a variety of special guests.

Last week’s guests, all from the ‘University of Wat- erloo, were the Rehearsal Orchestra, a modern jazz trio, and the Male Chorus. The first two groups were quite competent, the third was not. The obvious em- barassment of the entire audience indicated that this is not just a personal opinion.

We find it difficult to understand why any music- ian would allow his name to be associated with a group so obviously unready to ap- pear in public. We hope that the next time this group appears in the name of the University it is adequately prepared.

Monica Bradley - Miss Engineer 1962

D. S. Lavery 5A Chem. J. Frost, 1A

Dear Editor: I have noticed the comic

flurry of religion and ideology that has occupied the recent issues of your journal of the intellectual community. I thought that before a band of Jehovah’s Witnesses, or Father Divine made the scene, perhaps you would allow me to fuel the fervour with the debut of MISA.

Last Saturday evening the Engineering Weekend for this term was climaxed by the “Winter Wonderland” semi-formal dance at Sea- grams Gymnasium. About 190 couples attended and were treated to the dancing music of Trev Bennet from 9.00 to 12.00 p.m.

Very truly yours, David Tristan,

Nom de Plume WHAT IS MISA?

I feel that the time -has come to explain the lack of ideas behind MISA of Mor- als and Indulgence Seekers Armament. It is not a non- profit sect, a new beverage or a new faculty at WLU. It is something for all men who will absolutely not compro- mise on being selfish, bigoted and ignorant. We speeialize in renting morals and in- dulgences to all men every- where, above colour, creed, or class and even to dead people, the reaEZy dead. For as our great founder Melvin Cwosnoski has said “When Towers have a sale on Japa- nese students, Mrs. Nixon and I buy two hundred of the best rioters.”

The evening was high- lighted by the crowning of Miss Monica Bradley of Lorne Park, as Miss Engin- eer for 1962. Miss Bradley received the “Engineering Plunger” symbolic of her reign over engineers at the University of Waterloo. The charming Queen and her attendants, Miss Patricia Hotston and Miss Vivian Brown were’ t+n presented with sever-,; gifts- Bv the En.$eering Society and ‘i;ii? Students Council.

The dance was a huge success and we take this opportunity on behalf of the Engineering students to con- gratulate the Engineering Societv Executive and to thank”them for an extremely enjoyable evening.

I asked myself “Why not indulge in a little MISA? The tremendous renaissance changed my life and altered my thinking enormously. I saw MISA’s plan for all mankind transfusing new spirit and courage to the fear of eventual victory over sin. For “all men shall know the true joy of good living when they cast the fir& Babylon- ian wine cup.”

John Makarchuk and Phil Thomas have asked that we extend their thanks to all those people whose efforts transformed the Gym into the “Winter Wonderland” theme. We will not attempt to name all of those who are most certainlv worthv of it. There are four people, how- ever, who performed a moun- tainous task and who are deserving of a special vote of thanks.

Typical was out last meet- ing under the direction of Octavious the V, and at- tended by Tex Ritter, the great Marshall Zott, Prince Ale xichechevizkyinsky, and Wong va der Woon U Too. We decided that whereas MISA was a boon to all mankind, we would suggest that once deciding whether a temporal and temporary punishment was a partial, plenary, panitary, public, or plain penance, they read Dr. J. M. Napoleon’s book “Merely the Quantum Cal- culus in Tom Sawyer” or its companion “Your Nose is Too Short.” before suggest- ing an awards system in eriticizing stone casting.

There is, first of all, the Director of Decorations, who as invariably oeeurs each term, found it necessary to move, body and soul into the Gym, on Friday night and to not taste fresh air again until Saturday evening just before the first couples ar- rived. This meant going with- out sleep for about 40 hours, the last 20 of which were spent working at a feverish pace. To Herb Alexander go our thanks for a herculean effort and congratulations on a good job.

The remaining two decor- ators are the electrical-effects people. Old hands at the &ame bv now, they installed the electrical ‘lights and wir- ing, without w&h no decor- atrug job is complete. We mean, of course, the Barkers,‘

suffer and be poor.” Are you prepared to carry the collec- tion plates of MISA?

Lea and Gurney, who always seem to be available at the right time. Thanks boys.

The fourth man on our list is Bill Schneider. It was his task to import all of the the raw materials for the decorating. This entailed hauling staging, etc., from the “barn” and the procui ing of trees from gosh knows where.

It seems that every term at this t.ime dome mention is x made of circumstancea which necessitates such individual efforts as described above. It is Bornething les;l; than gratifying to these people, attempting to insert atmos- phere into an extremely “un- atmospheric” place, when they are forced to face the job practically single-hand- edly. For the greater part of the decorating schedule there were at least six people at work in the Gym under what could hardly be described as crowded working conditions.

To those of you whospent the weekend in town and who attended the Dance we wish to submit this thought. What if the decorations had not been completed in time. You would have arrived at the Gym a.t 9.00 p.m. with a three and one-half dollar ticket to do a decorating job; not what was on your mind at the time, we are sure. This term the decorations were completed less than two hourn before the beginning of the Dance. If the present trend toward “let George do it” continues then sooner or later the job will simply be incomplete when you arrive. We sincerely hope that should this occur you will realize exactly where the fault lies.

Of course,, to continue this same vein into Sunday, the decorations - which the majority obviously thought would evaporate, or at least transform into something less conspicuous than a pumpkin after midnight, were still there in the morning. The unpleasant task of tearing down streamers, stacking tables and chairs and so on was left to the four or five who showed up. The names of these people we feel do not need mentioning. A special vote of appreciation goes to the JV’a basketball team who arrived for practice and found it necessary to wade through waist-high debris in order to get on t&e floor.

It is obvious that this state of affairs cannot con- tinue and the people in charge will be forced* to do something about it. We hope this does not entail anything as drastic as cancelling the dance, however. we feeithat this situation ‘will not be allowed to continue.

We believe that if we console ourselves with the thought that perhaps if the people involved can find consolation in the fact that since “Winter Wonderland” was an obvious success then the individual efforts were thereby worthwhile, If this continues to be the case then let us ask ourselves if this will continue. See you ALL

The CORYPHAEUS, THURSDAY, FEB. ~2~ 1962 Page 3

- ABORTION - Everyone has heard at

some time or another of a rape victim who finds herself pregnant as a result of the rape. Usually the girl does not want to have the’baby and yet she is forbidden by law from having an operation to stop her from having the baby. What can she do? She can unwillingly have the baby or try to find some’ person, trained or untrained, to perform an illegal abor- tion. Is this fair to the girl?

Abortions are now allowed only for reasons of danger to the life of the mother-to-be. But the laws forbidding abor- tions make doctors leery of performing legal abortions except in extreme cases.

Another all too familiar story is the one of a young girl who finds herself in trouble. Certainly according to the morals of Western society she has sinned, but should she be forced to pay the awful price of having a child out of wedlock? Should she be branded as a girl who has had a baby and has been forced to live in shame? Guilt feelings and emotional problems can ruin her future life. There are many who would say yes, passing off the case as something that does not concern them; but imag- ine if that young girl were your younger sister.

One of the most unfortun- ate occurences in our society is the so-called “shot-gun marriage.” Here, couples who are not in love are forced into marriages which don’t work. Both husband and wife feel they are trapped and tend to take the blame out on the cause of their trouble, the child. Even if the couple were in love and were plan- ning to get married, there is the problem of the nine month counters and the claims of premature babies.

In many of these marriages the husband is forced to go out to work and discontinue his education. But if the unwanted child could be avoided, these ruined or dam- aged careers and lives could be saved.

Some married couples eith- er cannot afford or do not want another child and while birth control methods are effective they are not in- fallible. .

These cases and others cry out for the legalization of abortions.

It is obvious that many people are going to protest legalized abortions on the grounds that this will be committing murder, accord- ing to their religious beliefs. This is open to debate and I do not feel that these people should be allowed to rule those who do not share their views.

Another argument that will come up is the st.ory that abortions are very dan- gerous. This is a fallacy if the abortions are carried out under normal surgical pro- cedures . . . Statistics from Sweden and Japan will sup- port this point.

Although it may not be widely known, abortions are quite readily available in Toronto and probably in the other large cities. They range from cheap ones for less than $100, performed by possibly a waitress or some other person, to $300 or more for an abortion perfomred by a doctor. The only way to stamp out these illegal abor- tions, which are in one ease very dangerous and in the other case exceedingly profit- able. is to have the laws changed to legalize abortions. This would hurt no one and help a great many.

The chief topic for has been attire. After

consideration it has been decided that the Graduation Ball will be formal (i.e.. tails for the men and short or long formals for the ladies). Thg chief reasons behind the de- cision - to go formal are as follows :

(a) a ball, by definition, is a formal affair.

(b) the difference in rental prices between tux and tails (about $2.00) is insignificant when compared to the total cost of the event.

(c) it is customars for the leading Canadian universi- ties and

White Hat TO Nikita

The Debating Society of the University of Alberta, Calgary, is venturing into the field of personal inter- national relations. The soci- ety is planning to send a white Stetson, smybolic of the city of Calagary and Western cordiality to Nikita Kruschev, Premier of the Soviet Union.

Enclosed with the hat will be a message expressing friendship and brotherhood with the people of the Soviet Union. The hat, to be sent early next week, has Mr. Kruschev’s initials engraved in gold on the band.

The UAC Debating Soci- ety, one of the most popular and wellknown organiza- tions on campus, follows the European tradition of having a period for private members’ business prior to each of their weekly debates. At this time, members often bring up matters outside of the usual interests of the Debat- ing Society. It was as a matter of private members’ business that members of the society decided on Friday, Feb. 2nd at a regular debate to send the hat. Mr. Robert Haley, second-year educa- tion student, made the orig- inal proposal which was ap- g;ozd unanimously by the

It has been resolved to sell ticket options well in ad- vance of the event. These ’ options, costing five dollars will be required to buy a ticket when they are avail- able, and will go on sale through graduating class reps , Monday, Feb. 26. They will be on sale for two weeks only. The reason for this is to give the committee an accurate estimate of attendance at an early date, so that the multi- tude of planning problems can be more easily solved.

The following items have been decided:

Location: The Ball Room of the Coronet Motor Motel, Victoria St. North, Kitch- ener. It is completely new with accommodation for 600 people.

Banquet : Ticket prices will include two lavish meals befitting the occasion.

In the setting up of native administration, the system of law to be applied must alwavs be a combination of Native custom and European principles of justice, fitted to the needs of the native society. Perhaps in this area can be seen a glimpse of the correct path for future action - African and European working together for the benefit of the former, not for the glorification and reward of the latter.

‘.I ‘By Jon Wise&ha1 ‘fdr Canadian University Preg~

’ (Jon Wisenthal, fo’rmer edi- ,tor‘ of The Camp&, Bishop’s

/ Universitf), is presently at-. tending Bali01 College in Eng-

/ land; on a Commonwealth r Scholarship). r

One of Oxford University’s most distinguished products, Dr. Samuel Johnson, claimed that when a man is’ tired of London, he is tired of life.

I The same ,could be said for a I student who is tired of Oa- . ford: the last criticism one

s could make of Oxford is that > it is boring.

My strongest impression i 4 of Oxford’. is its vitality.

Interesting and important events are always taking -place: intelligent -discussion abounds; and in most aca- demic fields, impressive (L I things seem to be happening.

‘\ This vitality is most evi- dent, on the‘surfaie, in the

‘university’s undergraduate a&ivities; I counted 146 non-

\ ’ ‘: , athletic university clubs in I . a guide. to university events;

on top of these are countless ’ college clubs and flimsy or- * ganizations which exist for a . few months while a few

, ’ people maintain some com- 1 mon interest.

A freshman can become a member of anything from the

’ Communist Club to the Ter- ,’ centary Society,’ which exists I , “to uphold all rightful mon- _. ‘: archy”; @om the Humanist

Group to. the League for Christ the King; -from the

’ Classical ‘Society to the Pi G. ,’ ’ Wodehouse Society, “which exists to entertain its .mem- bers.”

The most important un- dergraduate organization is the Union - the Oxford

- , Union Society, which is ‘the : d world’s most famous debat-

- . ing club (the Canadiati Sen- ate aside). It is expensive to

i’ join the Union - about $16 ‘a year - but most freshmen

t do join. . ,. Not only does it offer

\ debates, but club facilities as well as a lounge, a bar, a

. dining room and so on. Debates are held . each

t‘ ; Thursday night, and the debating hall, which holds about 500 is generally pack- ed. Debating style is very I . different from that in Can- ada, but the standard is high.

5 Here the successful debator . is the entertaining. one.

Whereas in Canada a log& cal but dull argument can usually, win the day, the Union an amusing but not necessarily relevant talk is

i what is called for. In addition . to four undergraduate speak-

WATERLOO WIM Inter-Collegiate Curling Bouspiel ’

Canada and one finds a more intelligent undergraduate population as the result. This is especially true here at Oxford, since it and Cam- bridge are the ,most selective of the universities.’

As, well as ‘bompeting for the Corpuscle Cup, UAC students will be spurred’ on to donate their blood by inter-faculty competition and a special contest with the University of Alberta, Ed-‘ monton.

In the curling held at the Kitchener Granite Club last’ Friday and Saturday, the Warrior rinks won out in the finals over Waterloo Lutheran University after downing Ryerson in ‘the second round and U or T in the first round. The Waterloo rinks were: Frank Rachich (skip), Graham . ’ Fournier, Don Hagey, Reg Kerford and John Eix (skip), George ‘4 Pollitt, Dick Thompson,. Monty Kerr. Rinks entered were from U of T; W L U, Assumption, McMaster, 0 A C, Osgoode, Ryerson and U of W.

Waterloo also posted a winner in the invitational’ / swimming meet held at 0 A C last week. Gord Marasco placed first in the 50 yd. freestyle and 2nd in the 100 yd. freestyle..

Over the‘ big Engineering Weekend the Warriors split\ their two basketball games, losing 70-53 to Western and beating Carleton Ravens 70-57. In the Friday night game, Harlan Krier scored 19 to lead the ‘Warriors while Dick’ Aldridge and Ray Palmer each had 8. For Western, Don McCrae led with 23 and Tom Williamson had 15. In Ottawa, Krier again led the Warriors with 15 and Mike Bosch had 14.

In hockey the Warriors lost two to Queen’s .Gaels 5-l ’ and ‘7-2. In the first game B. McNabb, L. Windover, M. Mitchell, A: McDougall and. D. MacDonald scored for Queen’s while Ray Kanerva picked ‘up the lone Warrior - counter.

Of every five schoolboys writing entrance exams to Oxford, only one manages to get a place and only a small proportion of the country’s youth can even think about writing these exams.

Therefore, undergraduates here are on the whole more impressive intellectually than undergraduates in North America, where the tendency seems to be to let as many people into university as space will permit, and then, fail *out ‘those who are in- adequate.

On the academic side, one gets the feeling here that one is at the centre of things. Lists of new books on aca- depic subjects printed in this country almost always include several by Oxford dons, and many of the uni- versity lectures are given by top men in the various fields.

What is the attitude, of most undergraduates here towards the university? Overs‘eas students aside,, the fashionable attitude here is one of cynicism and de- pression. ~ , I

Typical. comments describe Oxford as “a shadow of its former self” and a “sordid place.” It is the thing for undergraduates to be miser- ably unhappy.

They must be tired of life.

Scholarships student exchanges, and briefs to administrative c bodies are among its activities. Approx- imately 100,000 ‘Canadian university students are mem- bers of the organization.

t In tne second game, A. McDougall and H. Green each had two’with L. Windover, B. Carnegie and R. Kinney each putting in one. Ray Kanerva again picked up the Warriors only goals. The games, however, were not as bad as the scores would indicate but a few defensive lapses and some hard screen shots by Queen’s pucksters put the old pellet behind Bob Judd several times. The Warriors carried their own share of the play but just couldn’t seem to beat the 1 Gaels’ goalie -who always seemed to be in the right place at the right, time. The Gaels proved to be -a fast skating, hard hitting club and tempers grew rather frayed at times.

In intra-mural hockey; L. Eng. downed Arts 5-3 as Bob - Sheppard and Ed Burr led the winners with 2, goals each and Don Cross had, I. For Arts, P. Rennick had 2 and E. Macaritto’ had 1.
