" I WILL NOT WAR AGAINST WOMEN AND CHILDREN.I HAVE ORDERED MY AIR FORCE TO RESTRICT ITSELF TO ATTACKS ON MILITARY OBJECTIVES."

The fiasco we witnessed yesterday in the Alumni Auditorium shames us by the sheer animalistic statements made by the morons present who continually interrupted the "guests" we invited.

We are shocked, dazed and outraged by the behaviour of our fellow students. We have no words to express our disbelief at the ease with which our fellow human be­ings are simply discounted and dismissedbecause of their colour, race, and ethnic origin.

We see no difference anymore between the Germ ans who supported Hitler, the A- mericans who support Johnson and the C a­nadians who ridicule their own neighbours.

We can only cry out in anguish at the prop­agation of evil in the minds of our own people and dedicate ourselves to the final eradic­ation of the iniquitous intolerance shown here, in our university, and around the world today.

In so doing we are guilty of taking the

Adolf Hitler, September 1939

values of our Judeo-Christian heritage seri­ously.

Madame Ngeum Ngoc Eung apologized yesterday for speaking in French. That was unnecessary. The pigs to whom she apolog­ized did not deserve this type of respect.

Sir George no longer deserves the res­pect of other educational institutions. If our educational policies are creating mindless zombies of the type in evidence yesterday, the doors of the Hall Building should be locked today and we should start from scratch again.

We apologize for our own part and on be­half of the scores of students who expressed outrage at these acts, and felt impotent to do anything to reverse yesterday's reception. It is unfortunate that we cannot dissociate ourselves from the morons whose minds are capable of nothing but transmission of the proclamations issuing daily from the communications media.

U G E Q ’ s Rabinovitch: " A n international insult”

Viet students 'greeted’ by ro w d y audienceT he three students repre­

sen ting the National Libera­tion Front of South Vietnam w ere subjected to one of the wo rst crowd demonstrations see n recently at Sir G eorge wh en they addressed some 900 students here yesterday.

U G E Q International Vi ce- President Vi ctor Rabinovitch was part icularly disappointed, and termed the entire meeting an “ international insu l t ’ ’ .

“ You don’t invite people to come ac ross a continent to tell you their point of view and then insul t them l ike t h i s ” , said Rabinovitch .

D espite constant appeals by the main speaker, Lyuan S o u , for co-operation, hun- dre ds of students persisted in constant and systematic hec kling which Sir George E x te rn a l Vice-President Jean Sicotte termed as “ horrible,dis­gusting” .

"F ree d o m of speech is a ba­sic right in a dem ocratic so- cie ty", said Sicotte. Students of Sir G eorge have denied t h a t . righ t in the name of dem ocra­cy. 1 am ashamed."

E ven before as the three were led into the auditorium, a lar­ge chorus of boos greeted the t r i o .

Rabinovitch appealed to the crowd to at leas t listen to the speakers but his request fell on deaf ears.

A s Lyuan Sou approached the podium to begin his talk, crie s of 'kill a commie for iChrist” , “ you red bas tards” , and “go back home" greeted him .

D espite the overwhelmingly poo r reception, Lyuan told the audience that all he asked for was their attention.

“ W e are here today at the invitation of U G EQ ," he said in halting English, "we only ask for your co-operation."

“ W e come from South V iet­nam , 10,000 kilometers from

the United States. We are a sm all country, smaller than the state of Florida, and no bigger than V ancouver Island.

“ For four thousand years we have been in constant strug­gle . We have waged wars a- gai nst invaders to defend our righ t to peace, freedom, and hap piness."

“ The Vietnamese are a small people . We do not seek to h a rm anyone.

‘ ‘After a year of long resis­tance against the French, when they were defeated, our right to independance was affirmed by the G eneva Convention. T h a t docum ent stated that two years after the ceasefire th a t elections would be held. V ie tnam would be unified if the se provisions had been me t.

“ Fourteen years after the w a r our country is still blee­ding. Today, bombs drop on our villages killing people. Little boys die from pellet w ounds," he said, holding up an American bullet to the cro wd."

“ We are but students. Nguen N goc Eung has had to interrupt her medical studies to attend to hundreds of wounded chil- dre n. Le May wanted but to teach children in a remote village. But bombs killed his stu dents.

“ This is why we would like you to think about these atro­cities. We invite you to under­s tand our position. We are on­ly a small people who are being killed by bombs, whose women are being violated, and whose h o m es are being ravaged."

' ‘I ask you to think about the Vietnamese people, whoonly want peace. W e admire the American students whonow bravely pronounce them ­selves against this injustice."

L uyan persisted, but thecrowd gave him little opportu­nity. Finally, in disgust, he concluded, “Long live thefriendships of our people."

His gesture of friendship at the end brought many people to their feet in applause, but a large num ber remained sea­ted in stony silence.

Nguen Ngoc Eung approa­ched the rostrum to speak, and instead of heavy heck­ling, the audience reacted with silence to what she was saying.

“T he Americans use modern technology to kill in the na­me of freedom ,” she said in French. “Science can do many wonders. Can you be proud of this science?

“I have interrupted my medi­cal studies to help wounded

infants. All I want, like you, is to continue my studies."

Despite a non-commital reaction from the crowd a- bout her remarks, a question and answer period involving the audience was cancelled. Also cancelled was a press con­ference that was scheduled for after the meeting.

Just as the platform par­ty were beginning to leave the auditorium, Ursula Lingies, a final year history student asked for the microphone from Sicot­te, who was translating M ada­me Nguen's words.

Addressing herself to the three Vietnamese, she told

them that their government was wrong in saying that ,he majority of North American people were behind their stand. H er obvious reference was to the impolite crowd reaction.

T he intinerary of the three students has not as yet been completed, but they are likely to also address the three other major institutions in Montreal as well as those throughout the rest of Quebec.

The v isas of the trio expire in two weeks. An attempt is being made to have them ex­tended.

From left to right, Lyuan Sou, Ngeun Ngoc Eung, and Le M ay.

editorial

Council’s dilemmaAll issues now look incredibly minuscule in light of

what happened yesterday when Sir George was sha­ken to its foundations by the reception accorded our "guests" from Vietnam.

And it is too easy to seek out and destroy a scape­goat for the affair, but there is a secondary issue that must be confronted. W here exactly does our council stand on the war in Vietnam ?

It has requested that the Research Board conduct a survey of some sort before it takes definite posi­tion, one way or the other. The events of yesterday give rise to some concern as to what council should do when the results of the investigation are comple­ted. Could any sane person honestly report back to opposed to the war? Hardly.

It seem s likely then that council will be confronted with a dilemma that must be resolved immediately if we are to gain some degree of social conscious­ness at this University.

By establishing an investigation into the consen­sus oh campus with regard to the Vietnam war, our

student representatives have, in essence, committed them selves to endorse the results which will inevita­bly prove favourable to the Am erican position.

But our representatives surely have the intelligence not to endorse the actions of the fascist element of the audience who hooted and hollered and refused to let the Vietnam ese representatives be heard. If they do, we must in all good conscience resign from UGEQ the most eloquent voice for Am erican withdrawal in the country.

In light of Paul Martin's anti-American stand at the U.N., and the demand by the Canadian Union of Students for the same action it would set back stu­dent syndicalism an social aw areness at Sir George by at least a decade, if Council were to endorse the war.

Council has created this dilemma itself by refusing to do anything controversial. The issue must be rai­sed at today's meeting and the students of this uni­versity must know where their representatives stand now.

We urge all students to attend the meeting in Room 333 of the Hall Building at 2.15 p.m. If council does not raise the issue on its own initiative, students must demand that a stand be taken. The time for investi­gations has long past. We demand action.

Inescapable voiceEditor , the georgian;

T h is is in reply to Mr. H ard ­ing's myopic (and badly writ­ten) letter in the Tuesday is­sue of the georgian.

T h e function of the press is coercive, and has always been so. Newspapers were invented, not to be the instruments of in-group chatter or en terta in­ment, but by political acti: vists for the dissemination of relevant information. “Hu- man-interest” stories and news “tid-bits” are not relevant and are an innovation spawned by the decline of the press into an economically based corpo­rate organization in its attempt to appeal to the lowest com m on denom inator of hum an society. It is puerile to talk of “ourcircle", the “events of theschool" or covering the “news”. W hat 's more, it is socially ir­responsible. T he university is the most socially responsible organization; it has no lifeseparate from social issues. T h e handful of people whothink and publish are the news; they constitute what is going on. T h e capacity of any society to generate a concept of itself lies with the lunatic fringe w ho create the noises that will identify it, and it is the function of the press to amplify these noises so that they be­com e the passions of a society which has no passions of its own.

T o talk self-consciously of being “unhip" shows immense ignorance of the nature of the hippie phenom enon and its d eep roots in social criticism, the well from which the press also draws its nurishment and me aning.

T h e press is essentially a one-way form of com m uni­cation. T o bewail this, with good or bad intentions, is to not understand its limitations and therefore to not unders­tand its power. T h e aim of the press should not be to sap the silent groan of the mythical s tudent body that is the ob­verse of the improbable “two- way street of communication", but ra ther to make certain that its inescapable voice is a tta­ched to those mouths which are capable of forming the words society must hear.

V ictor A. Lehotay.

Clap-dapEditor, the georgian:

Cut it out, man. You guys can find o ther outlets for your humanitarianism. Y our arti­cles on Viet Nam (at least those that I've read) oppose the war on humane bases. Clap-clap- clap. At least, I can 't see any other reason that anyone else besides resident of Fa ther Sam (forget Uncle Sam) should knock the war, unless you think that it will eclipse us all

into the Acopocalypse (big deal). But, seriously, to conti­nuously write about Viet Nam on a humanitarian basis to the exclusion of other problems is a form of discrimination. Naturally, the problem of C a­nada's Eskimoes and Indians do not bring up the same fe­rocity in their being discussed nor does, I'm sure, discrimi­nation against the Negro in Canada. Negroes across the border give us more of a reason to take sides.

Wha" discrimination? In Canada?!? Naaa!

Sure napalming makes for be tter reading, but not to the

exclusion of local problems. Besides, I'll clue you guys in on something. Think that the U.S. is wrong in Vietnam?

You should see their policy in Guatemala, Bolivia, etc.

T hat should make for some good copy. Keep Happy.

by Bob Payette

The university bookstore is a profit-making organiza­tion. It should not make pro­fits at student expense; this amounts to student taxation. The more eager a student is to learn and to read, the more he is taxed.

T he university needs mo­ney badly, true enough. Bookstore profits are not the answer to the problem. Instead, this only creates a second problem because stu­dents need money badly too.

The argument that the bookstore should not lower prices because it would en ­ter into unfair competition with commercial establish­ments is fallacious.

T he bookstore has a m o­nopoly on Sir George texts because only it has the lists of assigned texts and of enrollment estimates. The bookstore already competes unfairly.

The university bookstore does not operate like com ­mercial establishments. At least they try to make a profit by offering a variety of books, not only a small se­lection. The university book­store does not give a damn unless they are assured of sales. This is typical m ono­poly arrogance.

T here is a paperback bookstore. The only pro­blem is that half the people don't know it exists, let alone know that it is promi­nently located in the sub-ba­sement. Classics' is easy to find and they have a bigger selection anyway.

The argument that the university needs more money

is fallacious. Students need money too.

T he university can al­ways open a bar if it is a profit-making institution. But it is not. The univer­sity bookstore should not. either, expecially since it has a monopoly.

Because the bookstore is a monopoly operation and only sells required books, it can make a huge profit. Estimates range from 510,000 to over 550,000 a year. This is unfair s tudent taxation; Thegovernment does not tax books so why should the university?

At least McGill has a half-decent solution. P ro ­fits are turned over to the Students' Society. This amounted to 525,000 in one recent year. A better solu­tion would be to reduce pri-‘ ces. The university should get the money elsewhere. S tudents need the money.

For over one year the Establishment has had a Book store Investi gation Com­mittee. W hat has it done? W hat results have been achieved? W hat students would appreciate is a Bood- store ACTION Committee and results like lower prices!

Unless there is massive support, the administration will not negotiate an accep­table solution. The ivory tower Establishment does not understand this and they will not obtain any results. Those people in Council have grave delusions of power. MASS ACTION will obtain results, not investi­gation.

See you next issue.

Fre e d o m .. The Politics of the Hippieby Eve NORTON

T here are many different at­t itudes towards politics prev- e lant among the hippies. But the com m on denominator of all these positions seems to be

with authority on the subject, being a m em ber of the com m it­tee of the E.S.A. (Evening Students Association) which arranged it with the book store. The terms that were agreed on were that the book store would buy books at 50% of their list price and sell them at 75%. This would insure that the s tudent would be able to dis­pose of his book and that it would be worth the book store's while to hold the sale. These terms seemed, to us at least, fair to both elements. W e’re sorry that they did not meet with your approval.

Barbara Anne Eddy

The activistsEditor: the georgian:

I attended part of the m eet­ing that the student activists held on Tuesday evening. Some of the faces were familiar and I know that they are aware of present student problems, but this applies to but a few of the individuals. T hen the meeting started.

First question: “W hat am I doing h e re ? ” Nobody really had an answer. T hen I suggest­ed that the problem could lie in our own structures... for instance the S.A. is run like a corporation based on cecreat- ional activities. T he S.A. has refused up to now to take up issues on bas ic polic ies such as democratization of the univers; ity, general accesibility on all levels of education, and student syndicalism.

M em bers of the Council are afraid to take a stand on the w ar in Vietnam, because they have not asked the opinion of the students. T hat 's leadership for you!

A nother question that was asked was: “W hat is student syndicalism?" Now here we have, supposedly, the intellect­ual cream of the Sir George crop and we had to define student syndicalism .

Now, gentleman, where were you the past 3 years? Busying yourself with the war in Viet- Nam, worried about what went on Berkeley's campus, the draft. How do you think you are going to find answer to present stu­dent problems? By preaching Marx, Lennin or Mao-Tse-

the desire for freedom. Some w ant an agrarian utopia, some w ant anarchy now, some want the end of war. The great maj­ority, I supose can see little possible political change at all. While they may endorse the views of those who march,

Tung? Be realists, don't try to put on the role of pseudo - in­te llec tua ls — don’t pretend .

UG EQ has been working on these problems since its creation. It came up with an answer: s tudent syndicalism.I hope you don 't have the pre t­ention of re-defining that ideal. T he ideology is there: use it to reform our present structure. One other comment, since most activist groups are formed by individualists who advocate their own ideas and rarely

, agree upon a com m on thing,I urge you to re-group your thoughts. I have witnessed this phenomenon at the meeting. W hen A. M arks presented something concerning your structure and goals and som e­body commented: “W hat good will it do me?

Strength is in solidarity, and if you each go your way, there is no hope. T he only hope I foresee is that Sir G eorge will becom e a satellite to McGill, just like AGEUS and AGEL were to A G EU M and this is no future for a university. W he­re is your pride Georgians? Think , dam n it!

Self-defense

Editor, the georgian: re: “Narrow View Seen in Fresh­man Orientation”, (georgian, September 26, 1967)

Hwould like to indicate that 1 am always receptive to inter­views by the georgian staff, but at no time do I expect my comments to be taken out of context and grossly misrepre­sented as they were in the above article.

At no time, either publicly or privately, have I stated the opinion that the members of the Freshm an Class are not adults. T he Freshm an Month Com m ittee worked for four months in planning the program we offered, but many of the decisions-for-action that we made relied heavily on student response and participation.

Correct me if I am wrong, but I certainly feel that it is up to the Chairm an and his com ­mittee to plan a program, but

and take part in mass be-ins, and wear ‘Legalise Pot ' buttons, they are, as a group, politically impotent, and they know it. This does not m ean they have given up hope. But change will come through flower po­wer: seeding the reservoire

that the success of that p ro­gram lies ultimately in the hands of the students.

This year, both the S tudents’ Association Freshm an Month Com m ittee and the Princi­pal's Committee on Freshm an Orientation, together, did some real soul-searching and self- evaluation. As a result, Orien­tation W eek (with, for example, the division of the freshman class into small seminars) un­derwent a complete face-lift. This was an attem pt to make the program more relevant to freshman and to allow them opportunity to m eet on a more personalized level.

If I may quote the obvious: "You can lead a horse to wa­ter -- hut you can't make him drink". I believe we provided the water.

F or your information, short progress notes: Shoeshinerama ‘67 was the most successful ever held at Sir G eorge (if only in that we doubled last year's proceeds). The Variety Show saw an audience rise to give the Chicago Daily G nus a standing ovation - tribute paid rarely by students.

If the georgian had a com ­puter to predict the trend of Freshman Month, perhaps then I could agree with the conclu-' sions. However, I call your attention to “hum an frailities” especially in the area of pro­gnostication. I only wish that my “self-appointed judges" had found the decency to defer judgement until the com ple­tion of the program. How else can we prove ourselves?

Good Job

I have just f inished looking over the new Student Handbook, and as a freshman I must scy that it has impressed me . Of part icular note i s the we lLor- ganized inclus ion of the arti­c l e s dealing with the various clubs. I did find one sour note - why waste space with those s i l l y fake c lubs that somebody probably made up? In any case, it was a fairly good effort.

S T E V E L A K E , Arts 1 .

with LSD, evangelism, art, love and thought power; a- political things like that.

Any political involvement, they seem to feel, is only help­ing the status-quo, because it gives a false appearance of political freedom. An ex-Green Beret, Donald Duncan, is quot­ed in the underground news­paper T H E EAST VILLAGE OTHER, as saying:

When the anti-war prot­ests began we were spending a million dollars a week on the war, now we are spend­ing a million dollars a day.... the protests, rather than de-escalating the war, have escalated it 200% and have given to the rest of the world a false image that we are a democracy, when in fact we never have been...

U nderground papers like the Other delineate the main hippie attitudes, which for the most part are dis-affiliated from the North Am erican way of life. Though he has his roots iunmistakeably in New York, Salt Lake City, or Montreal, a m em ber of this colourful group, is in my opinion less provincial than his elders. Les Quebecois, in as much as the province occupies a supreme place in their political aspirat­ions, do not fit into this group.

A NEW SAGE

T here are a great many in the subculture who see things in terms of eras, not decades. Archeological, mythological and historio-evolutionary pers­pectives make a new kind of sage, who is thinking, even in his popular songs, about ptered- actyl and pharaoh,. and swami. Cross currents of attitudes, spanning as they do, the beginn­ings and the endings of time, have freed minds from that home-town outlook that has characterized North A m ericans since the days w henit embarrass­ed Henry J a m e s . Minds are expanded, even without drugs, it may be pointed out, by the tough meat digested at college.

Drugs are catalysts to disaff­iliation, but a free mind is only as free as its mental furniture permits. North American e- ducators have given millions the paradigms for integrity in Plato and Christ, enabling them to come to a full halt w hen faced with a rifle to hold, a personal da ta sheet, or any o th e r infringement of personal liberty. Millions rem em ber W alden Pond, and Holden Caufield, and T hom as Coler­idge. Liberal arts, as Soviet Russia knows, are dynamite. Com bine them with anthropol­ogy, or any of the bridging, questioning types of science c o u r s e s , and you have an

expanded outlook. If it happens to be taboo to smoke hashish in San Francisco, the hippie rem em bers other times, other places, when George W as­hington, or the Indian did it freely.

So in the sixties, people start­ed making, in their own way, a free society. T he subculture has not gained control of polit­ics, or business, and probably never will. But it has created a situation in which standards, meanings, games and manners are broken down and tossed around. This is what can seem so terrifying to the onlooker. O urs is-not a free society, and the look of freedom is fearful to most. An industrial culture such as ours cannot allow too much eccentricity before it breaks down. We have to work, we have to work to make waste. Something, the kids feel, is ro t ten on the golf links.

MORAL NORMS

T h e experiment in freedom is costly. As Dostoievsky show­ed in Crime And Punishment., free man is faced with the pro­blem: ‘Are there moral norms and limits in my nature, or may I venture to do anything?’ Terrible things happen. Child­ren , especially the weak, the mentally disturbed, destroy themselves running from the middle class world. Capricious and arbitrary behaviour con­tains a germ of colossal violen­ce. But there are many who teach and write answers to the questions posed by freedom. T he underground press tabloids are full of religious, legal and even political advice. T he hip­pies are optimistic, I think, because in a world filled with duty they are pleasing them­selves, and only themselves.

While' the average citizen might deplore this selfish atti­tude. they forget that it implies a great faith in the dignity and goodness of man. W ar cri­mes have shown what evil can result from learning to take orders. T h e hippies are the political grandchildren of Dostoievsky, for whom M ar­xism and the organised church alike were insults to the inte­grity of the individual.

i f you say that everything, chaos, darkness,... can be reduced to mathematical formulae, that it is possible to anticipate ail things... then man will go insane on purpose, so as to have no judgement and behave as he likes. I believe this because it appears that man’s whole business is to prove to him­self that he is a man, and not a cogwheel” wrote the great

Russian. Those who have replac­ed the god of freedom with Statistical Probability, and the political hunch with the Gallup Poll, please take note.

Student Union Center facing giant problems

For the past two years stu­dents have been contributing five dollars a year to the Stu­den t Union Building Com m it­tee to investigate the possi­bility of constructing a student center similar to that at M c­Gill and several other Canadian universities.

The concept of a student center had been a pipe-dream of Students' Councils at Sir G eorge for several years but nothing in a material way had been done about i t .H ow ever, in the spring of 1966 a concrete step was made, in the form of a referendum placed before the students of the university.

In the referendum the stu­dents were asked if they would be willing to contribute five dollars per annum to cover architects ' fees and construc­tion estimates on a student union building. T h e students were overwhelmingly in favour of the idea.

by Wayne Forbes

In the fall of 1966 a com m it­tee under the leadership of Bill M urray began to investi: gate some of the problems involved in the construction of a s tudent center and a list of priorities was drawn up. This year, the committee which is tentatively chaired by Peter Maxymych, is continuing the work started last year.

Maxymych, in an interview with the georgian defined some of the main obstacles facing the committee.

“T he basic problem," he sa id ,‘‘is that we don't know where we lie in relation to the other priorities of the univer­sity.”

Maxymych considers that the initial problem that must be overcome by the Student Union Building Com m ittee is to find out what the student-at-large wants, and why he wants it. These questions, he feels, must be answered before a meaningful dialogue can be established with the univer­sity administration.

In meetings with university officials in the past, the com ­mittee has been told that they must evolve what the admin- istation terms a “philosophy of the student union” first and then begin concrete plans.

T he committee last year decided on a list of priorities to be included in the proposed building. Of top priority are

The building pictured here is the arch itect's draw ing of the U n iversity Center at the U n iversity of British Colum bia. Before plans for the union building w ere fina lized , the UBC A lm a M ater Society conducted a survey to find w hat students w anted most in the ir union building. Eventually , the AMS was forced to sign a 45 yea r lease for the building.

a dance hall, a party room, a games room, lounges, read­ing rooms, ticket booths, a lost and found center and a reception area.

Of less importance but still meriting consideration are meeting rooms and offices for the Students' Associati­on. Regarding this last item, Maxymych pointed out that there is a possibility that in the future the space now taken up by the S tudents’ Association might be needed for more ur­gent uses, such as classrooms.

Discussions with Douglas Insleay, Sir George 's D irec­tor of Athletics, have led to the possibility that a students' center might be built in con­junction with a sports complex. This would of course have the advantage of saving money and avoiding any overlapping.

The money that has been collected from students of this university in the past two years -- a sum now totalling approximately $45,000 - is being held in trust by uni­versity officials. T reasurer Bob Simco says that the Stu­dents' Association is receiv­ing interest on this money at the rate of 5% per annum. The only amount that has been spent of this money has been a small sum to cover operating expenses.

Maxymych emphasized that it will be necessary for stu­dents to indicate what they want in any future students' center and prove that what they want is really necessary.

“The sooner the students show interest,” concluded Maxymych, “the sooner our objectives will be realized."

The Georg ian Spirit

Sir George’ s history compiled by Dr. Hall

by Karen Smith

Principal Em eritus Henry F. Hall discussed his now pu­blished book on Sir George, " T h e Georgian Spirit” , at a press conference Septem ber 27.

“ The Georgian Spirit" co ­v ers the academic history of Sir G eorge for ninety-three years, from 1873 to the 1966 open ing of the Henry F. Hall Building. "It was like writing the history of one’s own family", said Dr. Hall.

11 contains many personal recollections during his forty y ea rs of association with the University. The book covers the University's beginning in 1873 as one of the M ontreal Y M C A Evening Schools, its becom ing a college in 1926, the critical depression years, the university charter in 1948, and the post-war years when veterans especially helped to establish Sir George.

D r . Hall com m ented that ev en after the university char­ter in 1948, Sir G eorge has con tinued its associations w ith the Y M CA. This relation- shi p is the university's histori­cal background and because of Sir G eorges history, Dr. Hall called it “ the youngest of the old un ivers it ies” .

I n explaining the title “The Georgian Spirit” Dr. Hall said “ In the early days of develop- me nt, during the tough war and the depression years we didn't have anything but spirit - no em inen t people or large buil­dings. Georgian spirit was one of the chief attributes of Sir G eo rg e 's growth. It was a feel­ing of co-operation, friendli­ness, and goodwill between students, faculty and adrni- nis tration".

‘ ‘The Spirit is summed up in one former student’ s words — “ We had only one fraternity and we all belonged to it”

Principal Robert Rae, left and Dr. Hall discuss the former prin­cipal’s new book, “The Georgian Spirit”.

D r . Hall hopes the spirit h a sn 't passed away. He feels th a t as the institution becomes la rger it can become more im­personal. T o maintain the spi rit of co-operation and fri­end liness, Dr. Hall said that the university must have admi­nistrators such as Principal Rae who believe in thi s sort of community atmosphere and that the university must have this spi rit in student leaders.

“ Student officers are often m o re important thtpi the prin- cip al" said Dr. Hall.

“ The Georgian Spirit" took a 1 ittle over one year to write and it is to provide an authori­ta tive and authentic history of the institution. It will be of inte rest to people in various M on trea l institutes, to people in th e university, and to alumni, fo rm e r students and staff who will be reminded of their past experiences in the growth of Sir George. The book contains a n u m b e r of illustrations - the dent olition for the start of the Norris Building, the D ram a De partment in 1936, the first gradusting class.

I n commenting on the his­tory of Sir George, Dr. Hall said .that Sir George with its sum mer and evening courses

has given an education to many w ho might not have had one. He feels that one of the univer­sity 's proudest accomplish- m e n ts was survival with no governm ent financial aid and no university charter at the outset.

“ Even with its many needs and deficiencies we never lac­ked applications".

D r. Hall finds the university has changed since the 30's by becoming more departm en­talized and having more m a­tu re students.

D r . Halls future plans in­c lude teaching and perhaps writing a com plementary to "The Georgian Spirit" on the many people involed in the development of Sir George.

Macpherson Report urges radical changes

T O R O N T O (CUP) - The M acpherson Committee R e ­port recom m ends drastic chan­ges in the structure of the fa­culty of arts and science at the University of Toronto.

Commissioned over a year ago by President Claude Bis- sell, the report was prepared by a committee chaired by C.B. M acpherson of the Poli­tical Econom y Department.

Seen only by the President and a few chosen mem bers of the University, the report was to have been publically re­leased O ctober 1.

But T he Varsity, the U of T newspaper, beat them to it.

The report 's main recom ­mendations are:

• drastic reduction of class­room hours and use of examinations;

• inclusion of students in policy-making bodies of arts and science;

• reduced emphasis of exa­minations;

• n o course should have more than one lecture per week;

• abolition of exams in the second year with option to write supple mentals in case of failures;

• emphasis on examinations reduced in all years; term work to make up 50% of final mark;

• revision of present general and honors courses.

At present, U of T general and honors courses are split. Students taking the four year honors program have smaller classes, get be tter library pri­vileges, and have greater access to professors than those tak­ing the three year general pro­gram.

Veterans Return

Hockey Practice Begin Today

Peel wins Lafontaine Track MeetDespite being in the grips of a cold Bill Peel ran and won a race this past Sunday afternoon in

the Lafontaine Park Road Races.Peel, who runs for the Mt. Royal France-Amis club, finished the race 300 yards ahead of his nearest opponent to capture the 3 1/2 mile junior race. His time for the distance was an excellant 16 minutes and 34.6 seconds - a new m eet record.

Coach Arsenault may have h i s

Pau l Arsenault is looking for a goaltender for his var­sity hockey team. T h e G e o r ­gian coach announced that ne i ther Brian C hapm an nor Dave Erskine , last year's net- minders, will be back and that the position is wide open.

A turnout of sixty boys at the first two team meetings prom ised some stiff com peti­tion for most positions on the incum bent OSLAA cham pion­ship team.

Tough defence

“ It looks like we will have plenty of potential strength on defense and on the front line. There are eleven veterans re­turning so we have a solid nu­cleus for this year” , Arsenault told the georgian .

“All of the interested can­dida tes have been working out at the Y M C A on Drummond from noon until two p.m. eve­ry week-day. W e will be star­ting formal practices at the M on trea l Forum on Monday for those who are in shape.”

Injuries hit

players will probabl} be lost to the team for the rest of the season. Fullback Tony Bacenas and guard Jim G ordon have joined Rick Perry and Dave G o o d m an on the sidelines.

T h is has created a major headache for head coach F ran k Elk who has already had to juggle with a small team lacking depth.

“W e hope to give Marty (Isaif) more playing time in the backfield if we feel his kn ees can take it. He'll also replace Rick Perry as backup qu ar te rb ack ”, Elk said.

“No new boys have come out to practice since the game but we haven't given up hope. Possibly we will get some when the local junior season is o- ver."

The Georgians will attempt to regain some lost stature on Saturday, O ctober 7th at two p.m. when they play the M cGill Indians.

Mike Rousseau, another student of Sir George, pla­ced a solid sixth in the field which featured some of the best long distance runners from the province of Quebec.

Sir George 's harrier team is scheduled to participate in a meet this week-end in Kingston, but because of Peel's condition, the team may not m ake the trip.

cut practicing with the track team and should be back in perfect shape for the Ottawa- St. Lawrence Athletic Associa­tion championship track meet on October 13-14.

T h re e vacant spots remain on the Georgian harrier team and they must be filled before the team enters the OSLAA harr ie r championships No­vem ber 4th. Mike Rousseau is the only other m em ber accom- ponying Peel on a supposedly five man squad.

T h e Georgians have yet to capture the OSLAA har­rier championship in four years of competition.

O n the track scene, injuries to key personel cast a gloomy shadow over the once thought c lea r picture.

Pan-A m games star Mark A rnold , is experiencing trou­b les with his knee and if he is not back in perfect physical shape before the cham pion­ship meet, Sir G eorge may have a hard time defending its title. Arnold competes in the running hurdles as well as the hundred yard dash, and Sir G eorge is depending on him heavily to make a strong show­ing in these events.

Last year, Arnold spearhea­ded the Sir G eorge attack to the Ottawa-St.Lawrence A th le­tic Association track and field cham pionship the first time an institution other than a mili­ta ry one has captured the a- ward.
