''We are now on the threshold of a new era.'' This has been an historical year for Sir George Williams. One hundred years ago the YMCA opened the formal educational program out of which our University has developed. Twenty five years ago the Legislative Assembly of Quebec passed an Act incorporating Sir George Williams College. Our name was officially changed to Sir George Williams University eleven years later. In the past quarter century Sir George has grown and flourished. We are now a broadly based university, enjoying national and, indeed, international recognition. We have added to our undergraduate foundations both a wide range of graduate programs and vigorous research activity in many disciplines. Yet we have, I' sincerely believe, remained true to our founding concepts: openness to the entire community and university-level education for all who desire it and can demonstrate their ability to benefit from it. This has called for both flexibility and innovation. It has resulted in a university that is unique in Canada in the services it provides.

"W

We are now on the threshold of a new era. In the near future Sir George Williams will join with Loyola of Montreal to create a new university, which will use the proven services and concepts of both institutions as a foundation on which to build imaginatively and purposefully. We shall do so in awareness of the continually changing realities of time and place, as well as the knowledge that the particular qualities of Sir George Williams have been recognized by both the people we serve and, formally, by the government of Quebec. The challenges of this future may, indeed, prove new and different, but not the spirit in which they are met.

Sir George-A Century of Spirit A little less than 50 years ago, the institution which granted a degree to both you and me was given its name. Today, that name faces absorption into some name designating an even larger university when the merger between our alma mater and Loyola College is effected. As in all shotgun marriages, there are certain situations over which neither bride nor bridegroom have control. In this particular marriage, beneficial as it may prove in varying degree on either side, the name that F. Owen Stredder devised on a cold evening in January 1925 will in some small way go into the shadows. The "discovery" of a name was only a minor incident but it represented a turning point in the story of an educational institution that is, in many ways, unique in Canada - and, perhaps, in the world. The roots of Sir George are found in the commercial and industrial development of the city that spawned it as that city grew to be the metropolis of Canada in the latter half of the nineteenth century. How a few evening classes for young men and boys became one of Canada's larger universities is what that story is all about. And because of its history, and because of the spirit that has made Sir George Williams University what it is today on the eve of the conclusion of the 1972-73 academic year, what has gone before will, in fact, never pass completely into the shadows. To those earliest graduates-the Guinea Pig Class-and others of that era, the "college without a campus" was a handful of classrooms on the second and third floors of the Drummond Street YMCA. During the later years of World War 11 and the post-war years, it meant a variety of annexes-from a few rooms

10

in an office building on Drummond Street, to the auditorium of Emmanuel Church, to the old Spanish and Portuguese Synagogue housing jerry­ built classrooms, to a house on Burnside Street-all designed to accommodate a growing student population. To many ex-Georgians it was the so-called Claremont division, a three-storey building on Claremont Avenue in West­ mount where post-war vocational training flourished as the Department of Veterans' Affairs made education available to numberless thousands. There are many whose main memory is mainly of the Norris Building, and to countless others the concrete campus is the Henry F. Hall Building - and all its memories and notoriety. Where and when did it all start? Conceivably a century ago when the Montreal YMCA - which was actually founded in November 1851 - outgrew quarters it maintained in a single rented room and moved into a new building on Victoria Square. Among the activities characteristic of the early · YMCA were lectures of outstanding quality. Many of these were in series which attracted large audiences and much favorable press comment. Until the construction of the Victoria Square Building, educational programs run by the YMCA - though extensive and valuable - were of the type which could not be classified as formal. In other words, it is probable that no courses were undertaken with registration of students or recorded attendance. Now the educational program began to grow. Within a half­ dozen years, the YMCA recognized the value of educational work as a major branch of its program. Classes in French and phonography were soon joined by others in commercial arithmetic, English and bookkeeping.

"'y

t-­ w z a: <( c.,

Frederick Owen Stredder, M.A., Ph.D., R.C.N. V.R., was appointed Vice-Principal of the Montreal YMCA schools in 1924 which, in 1926, became Sir George Williams College. In 1928, Dr. Stredder was appointed Principal and, from 1931 to 1935, also held the post of Dean. He died in active service June 10th, 1941.


The YMCA outgrew its first building and moved farther uptown into a new and impressive structure on the site of where now stands the Head Office of the Sun Life Assurance Company. That second building, known as the Dominion Square Building, saw the beginnings of a greatly expanded educational program. Subjects, taught at evening courses for employed young men, including all those previously offered as well as such others as mechanical drawing, penmanship and English composition. When the YMCA moved finally to Drummond Street in 1913, a relationship with the Mount Royal Business College (which had actually started in rooms rented from the "Y" in the Dominion Square Building) became more formal. That business school became part of Sir George Williams College in 1926 and, in many respects, it was a vital part of the growth of the University we know today. In the meantime, after the First World War, the demands of veterans for study programs developed at Sir George into a graded evening high school - another vital (and parallel) step in the beginnings of our university­ to-be. Once the Montreal YMCA schools became Sir George Williams College, an educational institution in name as well as in fact, new problems faced its leaders. Basically, there was a question of a philosophy of education. Up to that time, a reason for existence and an educational theory were almost

taken for granted by those who studied the workings of Sir George. Courses were being offered on the simple ground that this was one of the obvious, and sometimes pressing, needs of the community. Completing its first full year mid­ way through 1926, Sir George Williams College - in reality a collection of sub­ collegiate classes - saw a total of 808 students registered in day and evening courses. Of that total, 96 were female! This was the time of the roaring twenties - a period of boom in the Montreal business community as it was elsewhere. The population of Montreal was growing rapidly. Employment was good. Yet the trend was for the average student to leave public school in an early grade. High School graduation was still the goal of comparatively few.

records show that in September 1927, 50 schools under the Montreal Protestant School Board had a total registration of 31,547 pupils of whom only 1,716 were in Grade 8 (then the first year of High School) and only 338 were in Grade 11 (then the final year of High School). The evening high school at Sir George began to be more widely recognized not only as a means by which the occasional bright boy might obtain university entrance, but as an adult education program by means of which many young men and women who had left school prematurely could have a "second chance" to get an education. Registration increased and by the end of the decade, Sir George had more than 1,000 students registered.

11


And as the booming twenties played a part in the growth of Sir George, so did the terrible thirties which followed the stock market collapse in 1929. As Dr. Henry F. Hall said in his book The Georgian Spirit: "The stimulation and excitement of the stock market crash were followed by years of depression and economic problems for institutions as well as for individuals. It is a tribute to the leadership (of Sir George) of the time that, having undertaken (it is true in the most modest way possible) college grade courses, they did not turn back". By the 1936-37 academic year, the registration of students in college grade courses stood at 373. The time had arrived to implement the decision to grant degrees on the authority of the Board of Governors. Two students Frances R. T. Davison and Leo Germain - had passed the required courses and had fulfilled the requirements then set forth for the degree of Bachelor of Science. In the spring of the following year, nine more candidates graduated. With administrative approval, this class absorbed the two previous graduates to make up what is now fondly referred to as The Guinea-Pig Class - a name which they said expressed the experimental nature of their undergraduate program. In addition to the 1936 graduates, Bachelor of Arts degrees were granted to Harold E. Betts, Douglass Burns Clarke, John P. Kidd, Norman St. C. Manson, Linwood D. Richardson, and Rita Shane; 12


B<'chelor of Science degrees were given :0 Clinton H. Davis and Alan R. R. 1Finlayson and a Bachelor of Science (Com.) degree to Joseph H. Robinson. It wasn't until eleven years later that Sir George received a formal charter. It wasn't until 1956 that the Norris Building was completed - the first new building specifically constructed for academic work and the fond dream of the Class of '42 (The Cornerstone Class ) whose men graduated wearing khaki uniforms beneath mortorboard and gown and whose gift to the university was the first cash donation to the building fund. But despite these handicaps, Sir George Williams University proved to be the most significant educational development in this part of the world, in this century.

To attempt to recount the vastness of the history that is the story of Sir George from The Guinea-Pig Class to today would take all the pages of this Year Book - and then, possibly, some. In addition to academic achievements, there were countless extracurricular achievements: the founding of The Georgian, a newspaper that in its earlier days had no competition but today thrives because of the competition from The Paper; the creation of that hilarious musical revue, "Georgiant'ics;" championships by athletic teams chosen from the student body so small that championships hardly seemed likely; drama groups whose members not only wrote their own plays but also acted the classics; winter carnivals that lived from year to

year each touted as being better than all the rest; a Military Training Corps which was eventually absorbed by the Second Medium Regiment, Royal Canadian Artillery. And there have been post-graduate achievements aplenty; Georgians who in the short space of less than four decades have made their mark not only in Canada but elsewhere in the world - in politics, in education, in the arts, in publishing, in electronic communications, in finance, in diplomacy, in business ...you name the field, from among the small group of ex-georgians extant and we can point with pride to someone who has more than made the grade.

If only some small portion of that same spirit remains with those graduates of the future who shall walk the corridors - or even tread upon the grass of some campus-yet-to-be of "future Sir George," then this spirit shall never die - and this community, this country, indeed this world, shall be greater for it. Fred Kerner, Class of '42

Above all, Sir George Williams Unfversity has probably left its mark because of the men who devoted their lives unstintingly to its growth and development.Such names as F.Owen Stredder, Kenneth E. Norris, Henry F. Hall, Edward F.Sheffield, Claude W. Thompson and Douglass Burns Clarke are only a handful in the roster of men who devoted heart and soul, spent hours beyond the normal call of duty, in a spirit evoked by the spirit that was and is Sir George itself. No matter what the future holds as a new and larger university evolves from the government-imposed merger about to take place, there shall always be in the hearts of scores of thousands of ex-Georgians a memory that time will be unable to erase, a love that change will not diminish. 13


Sir George in thirteenth place among Canadian graduate schools Sir George Williams University first offered graduate programs in the year 1965-66. In that year there were only two programs, a Master of Arts in English, and a Master of Arts in Art Education. In 1972-73, twenty-eight programs were offered. Of the twenty-eight, six were doctoral programs, nineteen were master's, and three were diploma programs. Thirty five Canadian universities provide graduate programs. In terms of total graduate student enrolment, Sir George Williams University stood in thirteenth place, with 1,450 students. Universities with a larger enrolment than Sir George were: Alberta, 2,740; British Columbia, 2,650; Laval, 2,356; Manitoba, 2,016; McGill, 3,239; McMaster, 1,678; Montreal, 6,163; Ottawa, 2,833; Toronto, 6,484; Waterloo, 1,506; Western Ontario, 1,822; and York, 1,770. There were only two other universities with a total graduate enrolment above the 1,000 mark, namely, Queen's, 1,163 and Calgary, 1,108. The remaining twenty institutions had a total graduate enrolment of less than 1,000. Since the Graduate Studies Office also ministers to the needs of qualifying year students, there were approximately 1,500 students being looked after by the Graduate Studies Office. At the graduate level, Sir George catered to the needs of both full-time and part-time students. Indeed, only four Canadian universidies had a greater part-time graduate enrolment than Sir George. Most

14

of our graduate courses are held in the late afternoon or in the evening. The typical graduate course at Sir George contained both full-time candidates and part­ time candidates. Graduate courses were taught by members of the full-time faculty; and the research of part-time graduate students was supervised by members of the full-time faculty. In most North American universities, the phrase 'part-time graduate student' means a casual student, a student taking at most one course per year, a student who drifts in and out without being noticed by anyone, a student looked upon by many with scorn. We at Sir George know better. We know that most of our part-time candidates are indeed half-time, and sometimes more than half-time. We know that most of them spend many hours at Sir George. Our part-time candidates tend to be here from 4:00 p.m. on, most days of the week, including often weekends. In 1972-73, there where twenty-eight programs. It was proposed to add slowly to this number. The following programs were drafted, and submitted to the Quebec system for approval: a Doctor of Business Administration, a Master in Computer Science, an M.A. in the Teaching of English as a Second Language, an M.A. in Educational Studies, a Ph.D. in Religion, and a Ph.D. in Psychology. It was by no means inconceivable that, as Sir George entered its second decade of graduate studies, we shall have 2,000 graduate students. We became a major Canadian graduate institution.

Criticism: Political Science responded with a programme The first semester was barely three weeks old when the Political Science Department came under attack in the georgian's Comment column. Student Edna Fainaru questioned "the seriousness and the credibility" of the department. Sbe alleged that a new "Department of International Affairs was created only to supply jobs to professors" because no-one was interested enough to attend the CIIA's fourth Congress of International Relations which was held in mid-September.

Department Chairman, Harold Angell, responded in a letter to the editor by telling interested georgians of part-time instructor Piotr J. Andrzejewski's attendance and the information that Professor Paris Arnopoulos is CIIA's Montreal Section Vice-President but, unfortunately, could not attend for personal reasons. The department, along with the Political Science Society, was quite active in developing a continued programme of bringing in outside topical experts to enrich classroom learning. Speakers included Senator Eugene Forsey; Quebec's Minister of Labour, Jean Cournoyer; freelance journalist, Dr. Erwin Gerwin; and various Canadian government officials.

Future developments included the summer 1973 hosting of the International Political Science Association Congress and the first year of a Summer Institute of Political Science at Sir George. In addition to talent from the department, plans called for visiting professors from around the world and the participation of other institutes in the programme. Garnet Yearbook

David Lewis told Georgians that the provinces should have more power Despite these shortcomings, however, Lewis did at least manage to hold the attention of his audience, which numbered about 200. He covered a variety of subjects, but in most cases touched only superficially upon the real issues. Some of the points he discussed were:

New Democratic Party leader David Lewis dropped in to Sir George this year, but he didn't make a speech. He didn't even have one. In fact, the entire meeting gave evidence of hasty and insufficient preparation. There was almost no advance publicity, and Mr. Lewis himself was almost half an hour late. Even after his arrival, there was a further delay until the press entourage which usually accompanies him, arrived too.

- Abortion Reform - He felt that it was an overly emotional issue and he respects the viewpoints of both sides. But he would legalize abortions in cases where the woman and her doctor are in agreement.

Due to Lewis' lack of a speech, the meeting was conducted in a question-and-answer format. This, of course, implied that the NOP leader was unprepared for some of the issues which were raised and, on a number of points, he was necessarily unwilling to commit himself too deeply. Furthermore, due to the inflexibility of his schedule, he was only able to remain in the University for little more than an hour.

- James Bay - He opposed it, but he points out that the area is under provincial jurisdiction and doubts that he could have stopped it even if he had been the Prime Minister. He also wants a revision of the constitution which would give more power to the provinces. - Foreign Ownership - He doesn't like it, but says that nationalization of foreign-owned industries is "not a panacea". He also says that "ownership is an almost irrelevant concept in the economy", but he thinks that it is impossible to regain control of the economy without "a sizeable chunk of public investment." - Separatism - He rejects the option of Quebec separatism and "can't conceive of a Canada without Quebec." He sees separatism as a popular protest against conditions and would like to remedy the injustices to make its appeal less effective. - Poverty - The best way to deal with it is a "general change in society." He would not, however, care to tie himself to one particular figure as a minimum weekly salary. - Unemployment - He thinks that the Unemployment Insurance Commission is "incompetent" and both the Unemployment Insurance Act and the Income Tax Act are unfair. He also has "no use" for anyone who objects to paying unemployment premiums and feels that any government that has the "gall" to make an issue of a: LU the employment situation under present conditions is Ill 0 "immoral". I-

- The Olympic Games - He would hate to see them ďż˝ cancelled because of terrorism. V)

Montrea-1 Symphony Orchestra affiliated with the continuing education programme The Montreal Symphony Orchestra (MSO) became affiliated with Sir George's continuing education program through an arrangement thought to be the first of its kind in Canadian or American universities.

The plan resulted from the combined efforts of Professor Philip Cohen, head of Sir George's music section, and James R.McBride of the continuing education department.

"It's conceived as a long-term project in educational terms," said Professor Cohen. "It's going to be done in depth." The program consisted of three parts:

A series of four MSO rehearsals which took place in the Douglass Burns Clarke Theatre.The rehearsals were open and free to the university community. The MSO, with an eye toward the added exposure (according to McBride), was simply to relocate these rehearsals from Place des Arts, where they would ordinarily be done. In addition, the rehearsals were narrated by Conductor Franz-Paul Decker - he had the orchestra make deliberate mistakes, explaining where the mistakes lay and then corrected them. Participating MSO members were used to supplement Professor Cohen's lectures in music theory.

The third aspect was the performance program: the MSO participants gave music lessons to individuals or groups with the university acting as intermediary. The objectwas that non-professional people can learn to play an instrument with the best in the field "instead of with the old lady down the street." Workshops were held in one of the Bishop Street annexes where there are four small studios, each with a capacity for 20 students.

In addition, Maestro Decker was named honorary professor of music.

Pat Pau-lsen would establish a tax on sex.

/

"When I die, I want to be dipped in lucite and made into a coffee table." That's how Pat Paulsen, part-time comedian and elder statesman wants to be preserved for future generations. He was at Sir George in September to give a lecture and "say hello to our money and some of our boys." Paulsen doesn't consider himself a top political commentator. "I think in the United States," he says, "Mort Sahl is far superior. I'm hoping to get into more visual comedy." If that is his desire, he succeeded in his lecture here. Once the technical difficulties were cleared up, his show was smoothly integrated with movies and sound effects. He entered the auditorium to the playing of stirring martial music.Then, as he was half-way across the stage, he stopped and opened his jacket to expose his red, white, and blue, stars and stripes lining. He started by launching into his usual politically­ oriented lecture with his opening remarks directed at the students.

"Are today's college kids really alienated from the pigs ...er ... parents? Kids nowadays are demanding more choice in their courses, their professors, the buildings they burn.In other words, the kids today are revolting." Although Paulsen didn't offer any concrete solutions to the problems facing the world today, saying "Solutions are not the answer", he did however, come up with an idea to solve the tax burden on the individual. "I would abolish income tax and establish a tax on sex.People would have to pay to play.Some people would pay until it hurt.Imagine how embarrassed you would be for asking for a refund." He also had some comments on the Fall 1972 federal elections. "I like your Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau; but then I've always like prime Canadian ham .. I think Bob Stanfield can teach us a lot, like how to dig a cave or build a dug-out canoe." On Canadian history: "In the words of that great explorer Samuel de Champlain, "Avez-vous une place pour faire un pee-pee?" He showed three films during the lecture, two produced by Paulsen himself and another by John Marshall. One of his films was a satire on the early films dealing with the evils of marijuana. The other film was a cartoon depicting the growth of a baby into a man who is finally killed in war.All the scenes in the film are done with the American flag as the background. The film was accompanied by Paulsen's reading of his own short poem dealing with the movie.The cartoon was so moving that the audience, previously shouting and laughing, was left silent. He closed his speech to the background music of the "Battle Hymn of the Republic", while making a poorly disguised plea for the inception of a "Paulsen for Premier " campaign. "If you think that there is someone in this hall that can fill the position, someone who might be persuaded to change citizenship, then give him your support." With these words, he opened his shirt and showed a Canadian flag printed on his undershirt.

Georgian named Quebec Athlete of The Year At the Chateau Champlain last November, there was a 30-dollar-a-plate dinner in honour of Mike Marshall, famed Expo's relief pitcher, and Bill Silverman, Athlete of the Year in Quebec. What was so intriguing about that?

Well, if you took the names of Moses Denson, Red Fisher, Bob Berry, Pat Hickey and Bill Silverman, and asked what they have in common besides their affiliation with sports events, you find that they all attended Sir George at one time or another.

Son of a talented baseball player from the semi-pro league, Bill Silverman started his baseball career at the late age of 14. Being from N.D.G. where the facilities are quite good for young stars to play ball, Bill started what could prove to be a very profitable career. At 16, Bill soon found a place on a Junior "A" team. The team was from Town of Mount Royal where baseball players had to be drafted because the franchaise of N.D.G. was dropped. Usually baseball players playing in this league are 18, yet Bill's talent won him a position on the team.

Two years ago, the Cincinati Reds put Bill on their negotiating list and invited him to their training camp. The Expos of Montreal, it seems, shy away from Canadian talent because they fear there are inferior leagues this side of the border.

When asked about his future in baseball, Bill answered that if the age limit of Junior "A" is not extended to the age of 22, he will play semi-pro in Ontario. Bill Silverman (left) was presented with the award for Quebec Athlete of the Year by Expo executive Jim Fanning.

Bill Silverman must consider his education as well, this year he was enrolled in Commerce, and had, what he described, as approximately one more year left before graduating. Drew Morris, The Paper

History Profs dissect Marxism "The Communist Party has been the biggest disaster in the history of Marxism," said professor Fred Bode at a panel discussion on Marxist history on November 3rd. Professor Bode, as well as professors Terry Copp, Steve Scheinberg, Charles Bertrand and Martin Singer, spoke to a small but interested audience as a part of Arts Open House. Robert Wall, chairman of the history department, moderated the discussion. Bode said the fact that the Communist Party has continually been forced to defend the policies of the Soviet Union, has taken much of the appeal out of Marxism, at least for the common man. Professor Scheinberg felt that the main problem of Marxist historians was to differentiate themselves from the "so-called" Marxists who have confused the minds of people as to the nature of Marxism. He then went on to point out the basic differences between the teaching viewpoint of the Marxist professor as opposed to that of a liberal one.

"Marxists are more interested in the social movements of classes and the elite, rather than biographical history," he said. Scheinberg also said that economics and social factors are particularly important to the Marxists. "Marxist's do not say that a man's main interest is his economic standing, but try to place it in a larger context of which economics is just a small part." On the other hand, Terry Copp defended the viewpoint of the liberal historian saying, "I have developed a strong bias against Marxist intellectuals who are not in touch with what's going on in the world." In response to this remark, Charles Bertrand said that Marx dealt only with reality. However, he thought that there were some faults to be found with Marxist historians. "There is a tendency," he continued, "to link working-class history with Marxist history. This is entirely wrong. One must look beyond society at the people involved. One of the faults Marxist history is that it concentrates on the winners of class struggle and revolutions." Bertrand felt that if we looked at the losers of the great Marxist revolutions (USSR, China, Cuba) we would grasp a whole new meaning of Marxism. Professor Singer offered his opinion of the effect of Marxism on the people of China. "It appealed to Chinese intellectuals, since it seemed to take them from their pre-modern society to a modern one," he said. One interesting fact which was explored was that Marxist literature was not available in China until 1922, but there is proof that Marxist societies existed in China in 1919. Singer thought that Marxism, though it has never really been understood in China, fascinated the Chinese. Their tradition of Confucianism often shared many basic Marxist beliefs.

Terry Copp, Steve Scheinberg, Charles Bertrand, Martin Singer, Fred Bode and Bob Wall of the History Department, debated and dissected Marxism in this year's Arts Open House.

All of the speakers agreed that most Marxist history was not well researched, and that there were as many different opinions on the subject as there were Marxist historians. Jordan Klineberg, the georgian

Arts & Crafts Sales bolster Hall, Compton Funds As part of the Animation Programme, the Dean of Students Office sponsored two Arts & Crafts sales using the Mezzanine Floor of the Hall building for the display. The first sale was held in 1971 with thirty­ five exhibitors, and the second, held in December 1972, attracted fifty-seven exhibitors. Most of the craftsmen exhibiting made all the items displayed and, in some cases, made their own working tools as well. They encouraged questions about their craft and took a pride in their finished work. The majority of the exhibitors were members of the University community, either as students, staff or alumni. Participation in the organization of the sales by the craftsmen was encouraged. Copper enamels, leather work, candles, silver jewelry and pottery were the most popular items. The Student Co-Op developed an Arts & Crafts Co-Op, the majority of their members being non­ students., They held fuur very successful sales during the last two years.

Julian Keller

Gail Kaczender

A percentage of sales were charged to exhibitors in all cases. The Dean of Students sponsored sales gave their percentage to the Henry F. Hall Fund and the Compton-Lamb Fund. The Co-Op sales donated their percentage to the Montreal Diet Dispensary. The participation by exhibitors and the reception from the community indicated the growing popularity of crafts in the area.

Evening students 1 Association .. Problems The Evening Students' Association had a difficult time this past year. The year got off to a questionable start with only five out of eleven Executive Council seats filled in the elections. Four of those were acclamations.

Four weeks of debate in October led to the selection of a new Chief Returning Officer, one closed meeting -in violation of the Association's constitution and a referendum adding MSQP students to the membership rolls that recorded a . 7 percent voter turnout. The fall by-elections added two more members to the Executive Council. As a result of the elections, a Board of Inquiry was set up to investigate the counting of ballots. After two extensions, the Board reported that: yes, there had been tampering, but no, we don't know who dun it! A Fine Arts Representative was finally appointed after a lot of debate. The Partial Representative resigned from office and George Proussaefs was suspended from the ESA by an Executive Council that very obviously didn't like George. George was finally reinstated after legal opinion was sought by the Association. The executive did report, by late February, that the fall bursaries in the Association's bursary system were finally distributed. New election by-laws on elections were adopted (91 in all) and the year's third Chief Returning Officer was selected. Another editorial in the georgian called the ESA bankrupt and saw part of the issue as a black versus white situation and detailed the Association's record and offered some solutions. The Paper turned over its February 19th centrefold to an analysis of the ESA and the view was that the Association should have gone into trusteeship, the only point of view which was shared by both student newspapers this past year. The ESA managed to get through the spring elections with all eleven positions on the Executive Council filled despite bitter in-fighting and political rhetoric. The cost to evening students? $4 each, gross! Garnet Yearbook

Truth and knowledge at Sir George... Beer bashes Students' Association said it was "being held to give students something for their money."

Billed as "open to all Sir George students" and with "free food" and "Bavarian Beer Band", the first of the year's beer bashes was held late in September on the mezzanine in the Hall Building.The Arts

When the applause died and the mess was cleared away, the georgian called it a smashing success and "certainly among the most successful events to be held ...during the last few years." The Paper, highly critical of the entire affair, provided a cost analysis and featured complaints by co-ordinator Janis Ostling about the Cafeteria's role. David Gersovitz, writing in his "herd in the hall" column in the georgian, totalled up the good times at a $1,000 loss.

The November 10th Commerce Beer Bash with over 2000 people from Sir George and several other local schools, culminated in newspapers being strewn throughout the building and along de Maisonneuve Boulevard. Fights broke out on the main floor and police were called in to break up spectators that collected outside the Hall Building and blocked traffic. The Paper, in a November 20th editorial, blamed the University for letting in "approximately 1200 non-authorized people". Advising that Sir George was "asking for big trouble" by letting in high school youngsters and riff-raff and not enforcing the rules. The beer bashes came in for attack in a polemic by student George Proussaefs late in January.Wondering where the "Keep It Clean" slogans had gone, George addressed an open letter to Principal John O'Brien deploring the year's third beer bash which produced "strewn garbage, broken bottles, spilled beer, ground-in dirt and vomit", and reported a brawl (larger than the de Maisonneuve Boulevard spectacle) and labelled it all an alcoholic orgy.

The final bash of the year, held in conjunction with Winter Carnival in early March, featured the smashing, by a beer bottle from an unidentified source, of a $2,000 plate of glass on the main floor of the Hall Building. Partly as a result of that event, rising complaints and representations by critic George Proussaefs, Evening Students' Association representative to the University Council on Student Life, that body endorsed a moratorium on future beer bashes.

Union weathers another year The debate over whether or not the DSA should continue to fund the Student Union took a new twist when several members of the council requested the formation of a DSA committee to look into the viability of maintaining or selling the Union.

Dennis Morgan reiterated that both the location and the small size of the Union limit its usefulness to Sir George students. "Let's face it, that place on Crescent Street is a white elephant," he said, implying that the Union should be sold.

The issue, raised by Engineering President Dennis Morgan, received approval, in principle, by the Council.

Jonathan Fisher, Director of the Union, was critical of this idea. "The people who use the Union think that it is a success," he said, and noted that them was more interest in the Union than there was in DSA elections. He went on to say that the Crescent Street centre is having its most successful year ever in terms of use by students.

Steve Ney, chairman of the Program Committee, added that the new committee should include in its deliberations an investigation of the Union management. The Union, located on Crescent Street, has been a subject of controversy since its opening in 1971. Politicians on both sides of the argument have continually debated the extent of its use by the student body. The debate over the future of the Union continued at a meeting of the Council, November 6. This discussion, running the gamut from bickering to rational proposals, revolved around four main issues: to leave the Union as it now is; to move it to the seventh floor of the Hall Building; to sell it; or, to construct a new building in the area.

Between these two extremes were council members Joe Novak, David Saskin, and Arno Mermelstein. All three agreed that it would be best to maintain the Union. "It is senseless to think about developing a non-entity (the cafeteria) while we still have an entity," said Arno, repudiating Dennis' earlier statements. David added that the present Union should be used to its fullest extent, and he called for confidence in the Director. Another chapter in the saga of the Student Union unfolded when Eric Adams resigned his post as building manager. The problem apparently stemmed from confusion over job responsibilities. In the past, the Union was almost autonomous, and management was handled by one man. However, this year, it became an integral part of the DSA, with Union control split between a building manager and program director. Eric felt that he had a free hand in bringing in entertainment; however, Jonathan Fisher, as program director, was given complete control over the coffee house at the beginning of the year in a well· publicized act by the DSA. Eric's main reason for resigning was one of beer versus coffee. He felt that the Union coffee house (Karma) should have attempted to bring in good, inexpensive music and keep a coffee house atmosphere.

However, by February, nice things were being said about the Union. Both Jonathan Fisher and Ron Hemmings, the new building manager, received kudos from the georgian for making the changes needed to revitalize the operation.

Film festival draws $10,000 in prize money from theatre chain. The accolades, kudos and cash were distributed, bringing the Fourth Annual Canadian Film Festival to its natural conclusion. Famous Players put up $10,000 in prize money and soon you should be seeing some of the prize winning entries in your favourite Famous. Probably the most interesting entry was Victoria Soul's How the hell are you? (First Prize-Scenario Division). This witty film was composed as a series of "Dear Jane" letters written to a fictitious Jane Jensen from her homosexual friend Nick, a gay wit who comments on everything acidly but without losing his sense of humour. The film uses animation, stills and pop culture as it dances merrily over two continents touching on many serious matters without killing any of them by being serious. Janet Perlman (Comic Strip, First Prize-Animation) resurrected our memories of high school gym classes and of the grotesque costumes that the PSBGM continually inflicted on female students, thus saving their male contemporaries perdition by making the girls look as unattractive as possible. (I wonder if the conservative school board ever noticed that some of their ideas are strikingly similar to those of Mao Tse Tung). Janet makes her female gymnasts bump and grind to the raucous beat of the "Stripper", thus stripping bare the bloomered puritanism that can delay puberty by as much as two years. Steve Shaw's Don�t You Ever Say Goodbye, (First Prize-Documentary Division) is a superbly realized history of the Palais Royal, a dance hall which has seen better days. By a skillful blending of documentary footage, taped interviews and old 78 music from the days of Eddie Duchin and Glen Miller he encrusts the palace walls with history. The film's only flaw is its ending which is overlong and which spoils an otherwise admirable production. The Second and Third prize winners were usually flawed but showed promise and occasional virtuosity.

44

Dennis Zahoruk's Jason Barwick, (Second Prize­ Scenario) for example, is beautifully photographed in black and white and the lighting smacks of genius. Alas, the script is pretentious, the characters so stereotyped that even an attempt to define them as archetypes would not exonerate them and its chestnut message. "The meek shall inherit the Earth", insults the intelligence. Nicholas Kendall's, Bill and John (Second Prize­ Documentary) is a sympathetic study of two down­ and-outers in London who claim to be happier on the dole than in the factory. Hats off to Mr. Kendall who avoided the temptation to preach, polemicize or condescend. Joyce Borenstein continues her love affair with tricycles in Opus 1 (Second Prize-Animation) and one's first live is often one's best. Bill MacGillivray's comedy, 7:30 A.M. (Scenario-Third Prize) pokes gentle fun at North America's obsession with cleanliness by giving us a guided tour of Monday's people in Monday's bathroom as they wrestle with shower, shampoo, hair dryer, razor, scissors, toilet paper, deodorant, FDS and Tampax. Roger Murray's La Corvee (Documentary-Third Prize) is a somewhat Godardian study of a Gaspe family burnt out and helped by their nei9hbours; hurray tor the working class. Irma Wall's Piddling Pete won third prize in the animation division. Neil Affleck won the Norman McLaren award for the best over-all film of the competition. The lines are classically simple, the film moves with grace, and texture becomes rich and alive in Affleck's drawings. A good film but personally I consider Veronica Soul's How the hell are you? cheated, robbed and swindled out of her earned right; in other words she should have won the competition.

Basketball squad improves but second to Loyola If one was tempted to eyaluate the 1972-73 version of the Sir George basketball team in one sentence, he might say "It was a good year, but ..." Sir George moved up two rungs in basketball this year, finishing second behind a re-built Loyola squad. On the other hand, the two teams which finished ahead of them the year before, MacDonald and McGill, both dropped out of the playoffs thanks to heavy losses from graduation in June. Tom Brethel was once again the great athlete on the team.The Hempstead N.Y.native lead the squad in scoring with a 22.9 average which was also tops in the UQAA.Tom Brethel also topped the league in assists and was leading rebounder among guards in the province, and perhaps the nation. Mike Hickey also contributed steadily throughout the season, finishing fourth in the league in scoring. Aside from those two, however, performances from the rest of the team were spotty. Pete Hargrove, Terry O'Brien, Jeff Neiman and Scott Ei�enberg had their games, but not all that many of them. The Georgians won 14 league games, many of them against terrible opposition. �

.,....,_ 3ai

� �

Tom Brethel demonstrated his consummate skill on the boards leading the OUAA in scoring average.

Yet, they failed to beat Loyola in three efforts and lost two out of three to Bishop's, including the league semi-final.As for exhibition play, the Georgians were generally sloppy when it came to playing opponents outside their league, their record of five wins against eleven defeats speaks for itself. In league play, Loyola proved to be the big winners, going undefeated all season and winning their umpteenth Quebec basketball championships before losing to Lakehead in the national championships.Still, it was not a dull year for Loyola.Several players quit or were suspended at Christmas and three French schools in the QUAA refused to face the powerful Loyola squad on the grounds that Loyola was packing their team with Americans to the detriment of college basketball in Quebec. the georgian

The Early Days At Sir George

lll' •

The editor of Garnet has provided me with the opportunity of reminiscing about student activities in the early days of "the college", as Sir George was called in the period under discussion-roughly, the end of the 'thirties and the early 'forties. I suppose I am qualified for this task because I was around the establishment at the time as a student, and I am still around, although in a different capacity and with a few years added to my longevity. I was also quite involved in student affairs. Even after I graduated in 1941, and began as a part-time lecturer, I was still involved in student life. This was, of course, a confusion of roles, but no-one seemed to notice. Some of the extra-curricular activities of the early days at Sir George are still with us - some have long disappeared. There were the Day and Evening student associations, The Georgian (founded in 1936), the College Annual now the Garnet, the Ski Club, the Science Club, and Political Problems Club. There were the basketball and hockey teams and the annual Winter Carnival. The Carnival was featured by parades and ice sculpture, and usually ended with a week-end up north. The athletic activity in which I participated mostly was the Ski Club, although there were malicious rumours that "Downhill' spent more time in the tap rooms than on the trails. My best performance was when I came fourth in the cross­ country race one year. The fact that there were only four in the race may have had something to do with it.

54

r

Published in Garnet '42, this cartoon by Donald S. Quinn, chastised Herb Quinn for his longevity in student affairs.

One particular activity which I would like to especially mention, because it has long since disappeared, was "Georgiantics", an annual revue with skits, jokes(?), songs and dances. This was a joint day and evening affair and practically the whole student body, which admittedly was not very large, were involved in one way or the other: writers, composers, musicians, directors, stage crew, make-up, publicity, and so

on. The show always had a large audience. With so many students participating, the number of parents, brothers, sisters, uncles and aunts ran to a high figure. Sometimes even a non-relative slipped in. Actually, the people who provided the best audience were the performers themselves-the gags they threw out sent the rest of the cast, as well as the stage crew, into fits. Imagine such lines as "Confucious say,


man who no drink liquor lack spirit"., or such historical figures as the Scotch explorer who discovered Canada, "Jock Cartier", or Genghis Khan and his brother Garbage Khan. There were such skits as the one set in Russia, "Sno Jokes", and "Sawing a Woman in Half-Now You Saw It Now You Don't"; the melodrama about the activities of that villain, "Casper the Corset Salesman" (the hero gave him "quite a lacing"); and the historical play about Quebec, "He Was Only a Wolfe in Sheep's Clothing, But He Sure Made Montcalm Down". What energy, what ingenuity and verve went into the production of all that good solid "Corn", to which, I must admit, I made a contribution. The activities of the Georgians were not confined to formally organized ones such as those mentioned above. There were also such things as the get-togethers over a cup of coffee of the evening students in "The Owl's Corner" of Scott's restaurant on St. Catherine Street, or meetillg after class with the professor in the Peel Tavern. This was confined to male students, because women in those days did not drink-at least they were not supposed to. "Women's place was in the home, not in the beer-drinking dispensaries" In the forties, "the Georgian spirit" was also to be found in the downstairs Cavalier Club at the LaSalle Hotel, The

400 Club on Drummond Street, or that classy joint, The Nite Cap (a hole­ in-the-wall below street level on Stanley Street). Another aspect which should be mentioned, and this is related to the large size of Sir George today compared to thirty years ago, is that co-operation between day and evening student bodies used to be greater. Georgiantics and the Ski Club are illustrations. There is also the fact that The Georgian was the only student newspaper, and although run mostly by day students, there were always some evening students on the editorial staff. There was also a section for evening students called "The Owl's Corner". The smaller size of the college than it is today also meant that there was closer contact between teaching staff and students, not only formally, but also in social events, such as dances and the Winter Carnival. The time had not yet come when students and staff were segregated, with the students in the taverns and the staff in the Faculty Club.

issues. Sir George, around 1940, was more of a "fun place" for many students, and there were a number of "Joe College" types around. (I aspired to that category, but did not quite make it). Again, we should not overemphasize the differences between the 'forties and the 'seventies. Then, as now, the student body was a highly differentiated group of young people with varying interests and motivations.

Herbert F. Quinn, Class of '41 (once known as "The Gaffer", also "Downhill Quinn")

One last matter of interest: is what the differences between the students in the early days and the students today. Although it is easy to exaggerate, I would say that there are probably more students today concerned about political and social

CSA: Fall a bust, Spring a surplus Remember Commerce Week? Over in the Norris Building, more specifically in the offices of the Commerce Students' Association, people were trying to forget. The reason - most of the events were so poorly attended that they could have ended up only one way. That way, said Trevor Smith, Commerce Week chairman, was a "complete financial disaster." The financial fiasco was particularly ironic because it involved Commerce students who, if anybody, should be able to organize money-making ventures. Fellow students refused to profit from Commerce Week activities and thus made it impossible for the CSA to make a profit. Over the summer, Trevor signed a contract with the CSA which would have provided him with 15 percent of the profits from Commerce Week as a commission for organizing it. But, if no profits were to be generated, he was still to be paid $200. With this incentive, he set out to organize the program. He worked hard but apparently to no avail. And while he willingly accepted much of the blame for the mess (he really had little choice in the matter), he was at a loss to explain why everything seemed to go wrong during the week. He cited the film festival as an example. It was held on a Friday afternoon, when many students had no classes. It seems that the Engineering Students' Association also held a film festival that day but, said Smith, "I doubt whether their films would have appealed to Commerce students." The same night the Commerce ball was held in the Hotel Martinique. It was billed as "The Last (?) of the Red Hot Commerce Balls." By all indications, it may well have been the last. Trevor had counted on 100 couples - and only 60 showed up. This was translated into a loss of between $300 and $400. Then there was the annual Sports Quorum on Wednesday afternoon. In previous years, it was held free of charge in H-110 and usually attracted a full 56

house. This year, the Quorum moved to a local beer-hall on Closse Street where food and drink was to be had at a reasonable price. But, Trevor recalled, "the atmosphere there sure had changed. The waiters wanted to be tipped well" and this didn't sit well with most of the students. The previous day, of course, Marshall McLuhan addressed the Business Seminar at the Windsor Hotel. His appearance was to have spelled the difference between profit and loss for the entire week. Trevor gambled and the McLuhan banquet resulted in a loss of $1300. Therein lies a fascinating tale. Trevor had felt that since past Business seminars had managed to do reasonably well with "no-name" guest speakers, a banquet featuring one of the most famous names in the country today would encourage even greater numbers of students and businessmen to attend. Surely, McLuhan at a Sir George function was a prestigious moment for the university, bound to generate positive publicity at a time when universities and publicity-conscious in their drive to recruit students. All in all, less than 200 people attended the dinner in a hall that easily could have seated 450. Regardless of the unrewarding activities of the fall, the CSA operated for the balance of the year with a tighter control of its budget and more activities were provided for students than critics believed possible. Refraining from attracting the publicity scenes that it had in the fall, a re-directed CSA regained financially and profited from lower key functions aimed at individual interest areas as in Quantitative Methods, Marketing and Management. Ending the year on a surplus note of more than $400, reflected the desire to make good of a CSA that would not give up due to lack of student and business interest in large activities"planned on their behalf.

Day students reorganize in new association "The Day Students' Association has been streamlined so it can concern itself with two main roles - general academic I ife in the University, and extracurricular programming," explained David Saskin, the Secretary of the Association. Re-organized after a year's tenure in trusteeship, the government of full-time students did away with an elected senior executive which "seemingly acted in their own interests, rather than those of the council and the students" and substituted control by the four student faculty associations and a smaller number of appointed and indirectly elected senior student officials. The Fall by-elections featured, unlike its sister organization in the evening side, acclamations all­ round. LU

Members of the new improved DSA debate the issues. Secretary David Saskin, President Joe Novak, ASA Representatives Janis Ostling and Rob Tarabula, and Engineering delegate Dennis Morgan in foreground helped put Humpty back together again.

A successful used book sale took place in September and so did several beer bashes, later subject to criticism and suspension. Then, of course, there were the guest speakers including comedians, political observers and activists. Could one call programs such as these a success? Well, yes - partially. Many students objected strongly to this "bread and circuses" approach to student government. They felt that their intelligence had been insulted by bringing in comics that could be seen on television any time, and by unessential and frivolous "playpen" events. The association finally passed a "balanced" budget of $119,500 for 1972-73 on November 29. A deficit budget had been presented a week earlier to Council by Treasurer David Hackett, but in the seven days between meetings, Hackett found a way to balance the books. Most people agreed that a new credibility in day student government had been established, this time by student leaders who, in contrast to the generous indemnities provided for in the ESA, received virtually no remuneration for their efforts.

Football a zero after four years Perhaps the kindest thing you could say about the 1972 football season at Sir George is that the players had a lot of fun. Aside from that, everything was almost perfect - in the loss column of the standings, that is.

From the opening of training camp, rookies were prominent in the lineup as Coach Dave King and his assistants, Ted Elsby, Mike Kovac, and Terry Copp sought to build a lineup for future years which would bring championship football to Sir George.

A new coaching staff, headed by Dave King, who came to Sir George after nine years at the Universite de Montreal, took over at the beginning of August, too late to do much recruiting. They had a large contingent of veterans to work with, but considering that the team had won only two games the season before, not all the returning bodies were deemed capable of winning football games.

With the opening of school, though, one problem began to haunt the team. Skipping practices, which were held at Verdun, became a chronic situation which was to cripple the team all year. Nonetheless, the Georgians started off their pre-season campaign by upsetting the University of New Brunswick, a respectable squad in the Maritime Conference. From that point onward, however, it was all downhill, through seven straight defeats at the hands of Quebec opponents. The offence was the first unit to collapse, as it failed to generate a single point for three games. After an effort was made to switch some of the better defensive players to offence, the Georgians began to put more points on the board, but the tight defence, which had at least kept things respectable, suffered, as Bishop's, McGill and Loyola ran up the score in the Georgians final three league games. To be kind to the team, they had many rookies, a new coach staff which had little time to recruit, and bad practice schedules which hurt practice participation. Individually, Gerry Puklicz had some brilliant moments as the team's quarterback, especially in consideration of the talent he had to work with. John Desjardins and Ross Brooks made the defence respectable, and Desjardins was voted to the OUAA All-Star team along with Dan D'AII who played both brilliantly and consistently at defensive end. Others who contributed to the best of their abilities were Stu Nicholl and Brent Brooks. Hope for the future was also evident in the play of Jamie Kerr and Mark Boyne.

Cafeteria labelled ''pig sty'' The Cafeteria operation in the H all Building was a constant issue this past year. Within the first few weeks of classes, the MUC Health Department threatened to close down the food services operation because of the conditions in the eating area. The georgian called it a "pig sty". Renamed the University Food Centre in an effort to change the image marred by a $31,000 operating deficit last year the year's operation was highlighted by a sudden increase in the exodus of managers who each left a variety of unanswered questions in their wake.

Both students and the administration came in for bitter attack by student government and the georgian. An editorial entitled "YEEECCCHHH! ! ! " and condemning comments by contributors, established a tone of disgust. Day students and the georgian continually demanded investigations. What the university got was the Food Centre report, it's third new manager in a year, a reduced deficit and a set of concrete plans for future development from the student controlled Food Services Policy Committee strengthened by experienced evening student representatives.

Shewchuk and Ouimet named to first All-Canada hockey squad Probably the most notable result of the 1972-73 hockey campaign was the selection of Mark Shewchuk and rookie Fram;:ois Ouimet to the first All-Canadian team. The two players both hailed from a team which didn't win their provincial title, whereas the other four All-Stars on the team were chosen from the two teams that advanced all the way to the National finals.

Mark, returning to the Georgians from the Quebec Nordiques really had little to prove this season. His name had been brandished all over the league and he could have glided on his reputation. Instead Mark came out hustling and re-established the respect he had earned last year while in the corners. He engendered a legend and as such he was feared around the league.

During the year, Mark was the team leader and this was painfully obvious in the QUAA finals. Shewchuk earned his Star rating by being named to several all-star units through the year that faced Russian, Czech and Swedish teams. In¡ each of his appearances the gritty winger created an enviable impression. Fran<;:ois Ouimet anchored the stingy Georgian defence while garnering 10 goals and 40 assists during lulls in the defensive business. In the QUAA vs Junior All-Stars match in February he earned the second star berth on the strength of a goal and a lot of sound defensive play. Wherever he played he left the pro scouts clattering and conniving to gain his talents. Fran<;:ois added leadership and reliability to the blueline corps this season.

Mark Shewchuk turned down a pro offer and $40,000 from the WHA Nordiques to return to college hockey.

Both Shewchuk and Ouimet travelled to Toronto for the National and received national recognition for their achievements this season between periods of the game that they should have been playing in. Doug Cully, The Paper

The Paper, somewhat pessimistic about the whole affair, likening the event to a snow job. There was a tricycle race, the highlight of the week, reported to Montreal by a local television station, a beer bash (one of many which came off without incident), casino nite, a fashion show, a night out at a local discotheque, a mating game, a folk Pite at the Union, a ski day, a laurentide festival and a film festival. Casino night produced the usual complaints over prize distribution and the night out, Americanized as a "nite" out, evoked at least one angry letter to The Paper to a beer price "rip off". On the bright side, those huge deficits which highlighted previous efforts up until two years ago, were largely absent and Chairwoman, Karen Silk, last year's understudy, did an excellent job.

Macluhan at CSA.. The message was only medium "The medium is the messdge," proclaimed Marshall McLuhan many years ago - and Life magazine had found its "oracle of the electric age " In the meantime,may would-be disciples of the oracle conceded that while Professor McLuhan certainly has a way with words,and sounds good enough,they would be hard-pressed to directly answer the direct question: What the hell is he talking about?

"Effects can precede causes just as easily as follow them...The future is not what it used to be it's here.And the past is not what it used to be because we can now predict it.The past is predictable and the future can be programmed as easily as the present or the past...Today includes all of the past and all of the future.It's here now.At electric speeds of information retrieval there is no past. Homer is here."

On November 14th,McLuhan reappeared,after a long absence from the intellectual scene,at the Windsor Hotel,courtesy of the Commerce Students' Association.The years had mellowed neither his brilliance nor his capacity to confuse.

What he was heralding,essentially,is the return of the tribal age to western man by virtue of electricity. As a result of the new electric technology, which "extends " man's nervous system as mechanical technology once extended his hands and feet,we are faced with the externalization of our very consciousness.To all intents and purposes, "we now wear our brains outside the skull." In the same vein, "Every ten years we're going to need a new career,in another field." His ideas are almost totally original - and all original ideas appear first in deliberately exaggerated form.There is no shortage of less talented observers who will impose all necessary modifications. A smattering of random thoughts: "Africans do not live in visual space - never have: nor have the Indians or the Chinese...they know of visual space only by hearsay." Our visual orientation - "what we call rational space,logical,continuous,uniform,static " - is actually "one of the most abstract spaces ever devised by man...".

Memories of the Guinea Pig Years Thirty-six years ago, the infant Sir George Williams College, as it was then, graduated its first students. There were eleven in all. Two of these, Leo Germain and Francis Davison received their degrees of Bachelors of Science in December 1936, and were thus the first two graduates of the College; the remaining nine graduated in the Spring of 1937 and were the first graduates of the Day Division. It will be remembered that the first classes at the college level were offered in the evening in 1929; the first full-time classes in the Day Division were offered in 1933. Students now attending the University would hardly recognize the College of the 1930's. To begin with, there were only fifty students in the Day Division, and less than a thousand in the Evening Division. Relations between students, and between students and faculty, were very close and intimate. Everyone knew everyone else, and by name. Members of the faculty were involved in very little research; they were completely dedicated to teaching and were always accessible. They were friends as well as teachers.

70

The total operation was housed on the second and third floors of the Y.M.C.A. building on Drummond Street. The administration, which consisted of a Principal, one Dean, and the Registrar and Bursar, were all located on the third floor and their doors were always open. Thus, the small numbers involved made for a way of living that would be impossible for today's numbers and complexity. But it was a joy to have experienced. Classes were, of course, small, so that, in effect, even in straight lectures, there was a constant interchange of ideas. The students of that era, like the students of any era, came to the College for many different reasons. What was strange to the administration of that time was that they came at all; the College was totally unknown. Indeed, students found when they mentioned the fact, outside, that they were attending Sir George Williams College that most people replied "but I thought that was a business school." Also, no student had any idea of whether or not his degree would be recognized by anyone when and if he did graduate. What was remarkable was

the amount of faith these students had in the new institution. They liked their professors and had faith in them. They knew they were receiving a vital and significant education and they had faith in that. So they stayed, graduated, and the new college was on its way. Douglass Burns-Clarke, Class of '37

Engineers attract CEGEPS Engineering faculty and students staged their annual open house on October 27 in an attempt to attract high school and CEGEP students to this university's fast-growing engineering faculty. Less than 100 students toured the vast engineering lab complex in the sub-basement and on the upper floors of the Hall Building. Many more, visited the exhibits display on the mezzanine.

Gregory Brown Mechanical

"A lot of effort was put into this year's open house," John Pichnej, open house organizer, explained, "but it was not as much of a success as we had hoped for." No-one, however, could complain about lack of enthusiasm on the part of those who attended. Large crowds were attracted to exhibits such as the MIT competition-winning anti-pollution car, a PT-6 jet engine, a plastic model of the Wankel engine, a heart pump and respirator, a digital timer, and a computer terminal playing, what else? computer games. The obligatory beer bash in the cafeteria rounded out the day's festivities quite well.

Striparama sparks demonstration The battle of the sexes flared on a new front during Engineering Week when about twenty supporters of Women's Lib succeeded in delaying the Engineers' "Striparama" for nearly an hour. Claiming that the strip show was an affront to women, the protesters sought to stop the show from coming off by blockading the entrance to the auditorium. Six hundred students had paid $1.25 each to see the Striparama that wasn't. The event, which was the wrap-up to Engineering Week, was advertised as strip-tease but turned out to be a provocative go-go topless exhibition. Violence almost erupted on several occasions during the protest, which preceded the event, as

repeated attempts to remove the demonstration from in front of the doors to the Alumni Auditorium were met with stubborn resistance. The protest began about 20 minutes before the scheduled start of the show when the demonstrators barged through the crowd of men waiting to get into the Auditorium and stationed themselves in front of the doors. Obscenity shouting and paper throwing soon gave way to pushing, hair-pulling and shoving. A few elbows were exhanged at close range when some men tried to push the demonstrators out of the way using the top of a table. A further attempt to end the protest by removing the picketers one by one met with stubborn resistence from the women. The stalemate was finally resolved when organizers of the event let people into the auditorium through other doors. Their protest thwarted, the demonstrators tried to storm the auditorium through a side door to stop the show, but without success. As for the Striparama, it went on without further incident. "Originally, we promised there would be three girls," intoned emcee Mike Blake. "But in the great tradition of Engineering we've brought in five girls and a couple to perform."

z ...J a. � <( a. >­ cc cc UJ 1Anti-Striparama demonstrators blocked door to Alumni Auditorium. Resourceful engineers simply opened another.

And perform they did. Out came dancers/strippers Diane and Joanne, doing the good old bump and grind to songs like Nature Lover, played by Oliver Klaus. Reggie Parry, one of the more prominent sanitary engineers at Sir George, was named honourary Engineer for 1972- 73. Prizes were also awarded for some of the more important engineering activities, including crackers and pizza eating. As well, the Engineering Queen was presented. Later, prizes were awarded to the girls. Applause meters measured crowd approval and the girl receiving the loudest applause also received the biggest prize, $75.

Cleaner Scene for '73 : cigarette buts fetch $25,000 price tag It was difficult to tell whether the University had made some New Year's resolutions or whether it was just spring-cleaning, but either way, the Hall Building aimed for a new look last semester - cleanliness. A supplement of $25,000 was added to the 1972-73 maintenance budget, and a special Clean-Up Programme Committee planned a publicity campaign as an appeal to all segments of the University community. The entire project, which began January 8th, was a response to complaints from within the University as to the eminently unsanitary condition of the Hall Building during the fall term. A task force was appointed to study the problem last November and, after some discussion, it agreed with the recommendations of Jacques Dupuis, Director of Building Services for the University, that additional funds and a more positive approach to the situation were necessary. The highlight of the campaign, was the "New Look for the University" ceremony which took place on the main floor of the Hall Building. Principal O'Brien made a brief speech and then the Clean-Up Queen, University receptionist Jackie Plamondon, cut a ribbon at the foot of the escalator, Mrs. Plamondon was accompanied by an honour guard of ten maintenance men wearing bowler hats and Reggie, the University's own Mr. Clean. In real life, by the way, Reggie is Mr. Reginald Parry, the supervisor of the maintenance workers for the Hall Building. Most of the budget increase, however, was spent in a slightly more practical manner. The money was used to hire.ten new floormen to supplement the 12 then working on a regular basis. This allowed the maintenance department to keep a man on almost every floor during both the day and evening shifts. � Their primary responsibility was to empty garbage c3 cans and ash trays, clean floors and classrooms whenever time permits, and generally to improve the UJ overall appearance and sanitary conditions of the � building.

A general improvement throughout the building was noticed for the balance of the year.

Royal Procession led by King Reggie Parry and Queen Jackie Plamondon, followed by courtiers from Maintenance kicked off "Clean-Up" campaign. the georgian

Undergraduate Studies Programme caters Sir George's drive to recruit enough students to keep enrollment up and enhance the quality and attraction of its undergraduate programme, led to the development of the Undergraduate Scholars Programme for "highly motivated and responsible" undergraduates in the Arts Faculty. Editor-In-Chief, David Nayman, filed the following report (edited for Garnet Yearbook) in the georgian's September 15th edition:

Several professors and students in the faculty of Arts are working towards a highly innovative educational experience known as the Undergraduate Scholars Program.

It's a tutorial program, the brainchild of associate professor of religion, David Miller, who developed it at Cleveland's Case Western Reserve University. It's designed, said Miller, "to allow a small number of highly motivated and responsible undergraduates, working with a tutor, in our case, a faculty advisor, to pursue individually-tailored programs of study leading to the bachelors degree."

"For the vast majority of students," Miller pointed out, "a majors or honours program is sufficient. Of course, there's nothing wrong with either, but for the elite group of students, with an ability for independent study, the USP is a necessity. It's another avenue to education."

"The secret of the program," Miller said, "is the match between the scholar and his advisor." The advisor must provide the scholar with guidance and be responsible to a committee of the Arts Faculty Council, charged with admitting the scholar, approving his program and recommending him for the bachelors degree.

The program is departmentally-controlled. A scholar is admitted into the USP through a department in Arts, where, each year, he may take three courses in his area of independent study, and two regular academic credits. In this way the scholar combines the tutorial experience with normal university life.

86

The three tutorials are "blocks of material" which, Miller explained, can be anything from research projects to laboratory experiments to reading courses to combinations of each. But whatever they involve, said Miller, "they are all geared to provide a specific education." The program of study, therefore, cannot be accomplished within the normal curriculum. Nor must it take the required three years for an undergraduate under the "new university program".

Sir George is the only university in Canada offering the USP. But its introduction this year as a viable alternative to the standard majors or honours program, can best be explained in light of this university's all-out campaign to recruit new students.

In December 1971, a directive from principal John O'Brien's office to all faculties, urged the creation of academic programs to entice the most innovative and responsible CEGEP 11 students, who might otherwise go to McGill.

Miller eagerly used this opportunity to propose the USP to the Arts Faculty Council Committee on Innovation and Experimentation in Higher Education, chaired by associate professor of philosophy, Robert Carter. Carter immediately recognized the importance of implementing the USP for the '72-'73 academic year. Calling the proposal "well-balanced - a lot of work had gone into it," Carter pressed for its acceptance by the council. On February 25, months before a proposal of its nature would normally be approved, the USP was given the go ahead. Perhaps it was the limited size of the program - 15 to 25 students with an equal faculty participation or its minimal cost the advisors needed were already full-time staff - whatever the reasons, Miller was surprised that "there was no opposition, even from the more conservative council members." In a way, he likes to think his idea is "subversive," only this kind of "subversion", he said, "is what the university needs."


t

elite who want to study asked to submit to the committee, a statement dealing with their educational goals, proposed programs, preferred advisors, and suggestions for program evaluation. Though brief statements were encouraged, the students were told "brevity should not be at the expense of clarity." The committee set up to deal with the USP interviewed 80 applicants. Eventually, 17 were chosen for the program. At last count, 15 have accepted the offer and registered as undergraduate scholars. Although most of the applicants were from CEGEPS outside Sir George, most of those selected come from this University. Miller speculates that there may have been "a faculty bias" but no real indiscretion in the screening process. Next year, however, when Sir George phases out its CEGEP, Miller assures that the screening process will be revised. The faculty is extremely enthusiastic about the USP. Only two departments have informed Miller they will not participate. Sociology claimed it has its own tutorials, while romance languages said it has too few students to make joining the USP worthwhile.

Miller and his associates wasted no time in organizing the program and seeking applicants. No wonder. "At Case Western, we worked out a brochure first," he said, "then we approached the faculty council about the USP. At Sir George, we did it the other way around." A statement outlining the program's aims was sent to 112 top collegial students at Sir George, McGill, Vanier, Dawson, and other local CEGEPS. They were

Miller, chairman of the committee, said he wants to give up the position so that the program "might have a Sir George, not a Cleveland, flavour." He proposed that next year one professor from each department sit on the committee, even if the department is not in the program. He was also seeking ex officio members from the honours committee and library staff. Milter saw more students being accepted into the program next year. "Right now we have 15. But the more departments that join and the more good students we get, the bigger and better the program will become." And he added, there's "no reason the USP should be restricted to the faculty of Arts."

Athletic reflections of the '50's In the late spring of 1952 Dr. Kenneth E. Norris, then Principal of Sir George Williams College, looked across his desk and offered Magnus Flynn the job of Director of Athletics for the sum of $5,200.00 per annum with limited fringe benefits. Since he was, at that time, the part-time Varsity Basketball Coach at $35.00 a month, it seemed like a reasonable promotion so he accepted and began work that fall. The first shock for the new Director was a present from his new boss who handed him $1700.00 (a large sum in those days) in outstanding bills from the preceeding year, the second was that an inventory of equipment showed that the athletics operation was woefully short of everything needed, the third was that the College had been suspended from competition by the Canadian Intercollegiate Athletic Union and the fourth was that the Dean of Students, Mag Flynn, only office that could be obtained was appeared in Garnet '58 - hard at a converted broom closet next to the work! Students' Undergraduate Society Offices on the 3rd floor of the YMCA Building, with no secretary. With the assistance of McGill, the College was readmitted to competition and with the support of student leaders, Director Flynn was able to gain approval for operational funds for the year and begin the task of building the internal athletic structure. Following that first year, the Athletic Council was strengthened, an athletic fee established, and the stage set for the development of a formal athletic program. Timed with these events was a major breakthrough in intercollegiate competition with the formation of the Ottawa St. Lawrence Intercollegiate Athletic Association. The league was to produce some lively competition and good relationships between the 90

competing institutions for the next ten years. It was in this period Sir George enjoyed dominance in collegiate basketball, winning 146 of the 172 games it played. In 1958, A.D. lnsleay, a physical education graduate from McGill, was hired as the Director of Athletics and the department was on its way. One of his first appointments was Paul Arsenault, who immediately began the development of the hockey programme. A second was Fred Whitacre to handle the basketball side. It was in the next few years, despite the lack of facilities, that Sir George was to develop a very solid, but little publicized, intramural, intercollegiate and casual programme for the student body. In 1971, the Ottawa St. Lawrence Conference was disbanded to be replaced by the Quebec University Athletic Association. Already this operation appears to be something less than successful and certainly does not appear to have the common attitude towards competitive collegiate athletics which existed in the OSL. This situation proposes a serious challenge to the Directors of Athletics which must be met with courage and goodwill. It would be remiss if the opportunity were not seized to mention some of the symbolic names during the formal development of the athletic programme. The Board members would have to be S.C. Holland and John Hannan; students Stu McEvoy and Alec Mikalachki and faculty members Don Peets and Jim Finnie. Continued interest and support from Principals H. Hall, R. Rae and J. O'Brien, and the dedication of the staff and the elected student representatives, have created a proud athletic tradition at Sir George: Mag Flynn

Loyola-Sir George merge in shotgun wedding On November 20th, after some two months of final negotiations, the Board of Trustees of Loyola College gave definite approval to a conclusive merger agreement with Sir George. The document, in its final form, was accepted by the Board of Governors before the end of the week. The resistance at Loyola forced some revamping of the document, and it was only last week that the Joint Negotiating Committee could arrive at a reasonable compromise. After the report of the Council of Quebec Universities was made public last July 5, 1972, recommending the close of Loyola by 1975, it appeared for a short time that negotiations for a merger with Loyola College would fall through. Reports in The Montreal Star and The Gazette quoted "a prominent Sir George official" as saying that in view of the Council's report, the "eleven points on which negotiations were based, no longer applied."

As it turned out, though, there appeared to be little truth in these statements, as merger discussions resumed soon afterwards.

On September 21, 1972, the initial agreement between the two schools was announced. The basic purpose of the merger was to "preserve the educational traditions of both institutions while creating a financially viable member of the Quebec University system." As set out in the original document, the governing structures of the new university were as follows:

• There will be a 35 member Board of Governors, 15 from Sir George and 15 from Loyola, the five remaining members being the chief officers of the new university. • The Senate would consist of ten Deans, twenty­ five professors, and seventeen students.

92

• The Chief Executive Officer would be the Rector.

In the original document, five faculties were proposed. Commerce and Engineering are University faculties, and for the time being, at least, courses would be offered at both campuses. At Sir George, there would be a Faculty of Arts and of Science, offering courses that are currently available.

At Loyola, originally there was to be a single faculty, in which the honours Science program would be dropped. Since last September, the objections of the Loyola Science faculty (including the threat of strike action) led to some changes including a separate Science faculty at Loyola and an Honours Science program. But why did the merger take place? Three reasons were generally accepted.

First, Loyola College had no charter, although it had lobbied desperately for a decade to get one. Although financed by government money, it was not part of the regular university grant system. Thus, it had no guarantee of the regularity or continuity of its funds. Furthermore, Loyola could grant a degree only through another institution, the University of Montreal, and the 1972-73 agreements were to expire at the end of the academic year. Without assured revenues or a degree program, Loyola would be finished. They needed support, and to them, a merger with Sir George on favourable terms, was a good idea. This became even more obvious last July when the Council of Quebec Universities recommended that the College become a CEGEP and drop all university level teaching. Second the Sir George administration seemed to believe that the addition of 4000 students to the university's registration wouldn't hurt their cause when they asked for additional revenues from the Department of Education. Even more significant, a larger combined institution was more likely to compete successfully with McGill in the search for

new students, an important consideration if the indicated downward trend in registration continued. In addition, the Loyola campus facilities provided a guarantee that Sir George would have room to expand, if this became necessary in the future. Despite its ownership of most of the upper part of Mackay Street, Sir George had been consistently refused permission to build. As a result of this, it had been forced to rent a half dozen or so buildings in the area. The third reason for the merger was that the provincial government decided in August that it would continue its support of the merger proposal. Furthermore, the Minister of Education Frarn;:ois Cloutier, let it be known that negotiations were not moving ahead fast enough for his taste. So, faced with the possibility of government intervention and

perhaps an imposed agreement, the two institutions decided to iron out their differences in record time. When Garnet Yearbook 1973 was put to press, the name of the new university had tentatively been selected as "Concordia". Out of the original five names suggested in the Savage/Despland report including Vanier (now a CEGEP), Alexander Tillock Galt, Thomas D'Arcy McGee (a name of a high school in Montreal), Jacques Cartier, Champlain (also a CEGEP), St. Lawrence (already the name of a college in Ontario), Maisonneuve, Frontenac, Donnacona, Hochelaga, Stadacona and Hudson, only Hochelaga remained along with Sir George Williams, Bethune and several non­ serious offerings. There was much dissatisfaction over the choice.

Science Open House ''dragged in the middle'' "Science Open House began and ended with a bang," explained Jack Hirshfeld, organizer of the day-long event, "but it sure dragged in the middle."

What Hirshfeld meant was that the science exhibits and guided tours of the Hall Building on Friday morning and the beer bash at night, were well attended, but the luncheon and seminar on business opportunities for the science graduate, were a bust.

Four to five hundred students from local CEGEP's and high schools showed up for the morning activities, and well over a thousand made it to the beer fest, but most of them decided to skip the luncheon and seminar to play cards in the cafeteria. At first, there was a mix-up as to how long the mezzanine exhibits would last. Liaison officer Ken Battersby had hoped they'd stay open until 5 pm but they closed, instead, before lunch. And lunch was late, admitted Hirshfeld. "No-one eats lunch at 2 o'clock."

But while the exhibits were open, they attracted a great deal of attention from open house guests. Like this summer's Fairview shopping centre exhibits, the science people set up biology, physics, chemistry, geology and math exhibits, anything from how to measure nuclear radiation to a study of rock formations in the Montreal area and the evils of hair spray. Science professors remained on hand throughout to answer questions.

\

Seminar on job opportunities included speakers (left to right) Dr. C. Gleason of Charles E. Frosst, Dr. A. Deland, Chairman of Geology, and Mr. R. Pringle of CN.

Hockey

• •

We didn't win the last one

It is unlikely that 1972-73 will be remembered as the hockey season the Sir George Williams hockey team set a record for most wins in a season. Nor are many going to recall that the Georgians finished in first place for the first time since the 1966-67 season. Rather this past season will be remembered most because Sir George made a rather hasty exit from the playoffs by losing the Quebec University Athletic Association hockey final at Loyola. Judging by the several non-capacity crowds at Verdun Auditorium this season, I guess you would say there were few faithful Georgians fans, but when you found out that people had driven in from Toronto for a provincial championship game, you knew that there were fans out there somewhere. Perhaps the high point of the season occured on Friday, Nov. 24 in the Varsity Arena, the home of the Fivetime National Champions, University of Toronto Blues. The Georgians made their debut in front of the Blues' home crowd and their boisterous Lady Godiva Memorial Marching Band. Final score:

Georgians 4-Blues 3, the only home game the Blues

lost all year.

The game-winning goal that night was scored by Mark Shewchuk, who if he stays around for a while, could establish himself as the greatest point-getter in Georgian history. Shewchuk, jumped from industrial league hockey into the college ranks and almost the WHA, scored 114 points in his first two-years at Sir George and won a great number of fans with his great hustle and desire. It was indeed unfortunate that Shewchuk, broke his leg in four spots in the All-Star game against the Quebec Major Junior League. Bob Philip, selected coach of the year by his peers in the QUAA, deserved the honor the way I saw it.

The Georgians won 24 games in 1972-73 while losing eight and tying four others. That is almost 75 percent success and you really can't ask for much more in sport. It was just too bad they could not have won the last one. Glenn Cole, Georgian Sports Review

Tetley addressed Georgian Liberals: ''We've tried to make the consumer more equal'' The Hon.William Tetley, Quebec Minister of Financial Institutions and MNA for Notre Dame de Grace,addressed the Sir George Liberal Association in early March.

Neal Parker

"My ministry has two main aims," he stated. "To aid the economy and protect the public." The minister described the efforts of his own department and replied to questions on other portfolios and aspects of the government. "We have tried a new experiment in our government,unique in Canada,a consumer protection council,comprised of 10 consumers and five producers.We employed Ralph Nader's idea of putting a consumer on the board of corporations in staffing this council."

2

Averil Scantlebury

Some members of the council are highly critical of the government,he went on,but nevertheless, "they have the right to see every order-in-council concerning consumer legislation before it goes to the Assembly. We've tried to make the consumer more equal: the merchant must deliver what he advertises."

<(

Responding to a question from the audience, ďż˝ Tetley stressed that he had never encountered ďż˝ problems in speaking English in the house... "I speak t:1 more English in the Assembly than anyone." ďż˝ William Tetley, MNA for N.D.G., seemed to be saying that all consumers were going to be "this" equal give or take a few inches.

"I don't think it will be detrimental for Quebec to sell power to the U.S.on a short-term basis," the minister said of the James Bay project. "But I don't think we should sell to anyone on a long-term basis."

John Teixeira

When questioned on the recently disclosed matter of patronage in the Quebec government,the former lawyer said that he has no lists of favoured people either in his ministry or his riding. "I gave up my law firm,whereas my counterpart in Ontario did not.In Notre Dame de Grace,when Daniel Johnson lived there,a certain association received the total provincial recreation grant for the riding. "When I bacame minister, I split the funds among different organizations."

We're slightly different in our ap­ proach, we won't handle your work unless we are positive that we can. . Our policy is to maintain a standard of personal service rather than an air of mass production.
