TS This is just a note to let you, the students, know what has happened so far concerning student government. On Wedheaday, Oct. 12, the representatives of each of the faculty student societies met. At this meeting temporary officers were appointed to conduct matters of immediate importance. Plans were also made for a newspaper and a student directory. Hs time was short, another meeting was proposed for Oct. 19. Before the 19th, the Faculty advisors gave s ome suggestions concerning the constitution. Notices were posted, asking all those, interested in helping to form a Students’ Council to meet in
Room 137 at ‘7 o’clock on Wed., Oct. 19,. At this, meeting Brendan O’Connor was asked to be the editor(gf the school newspaper. A board of publications was set up with Gord Van Fleet in charge. A constitution committee, composed of Nick Hathaway, Terry Jones, Ed Rice, and myself, was set up to write a new constitution with the Faculty’s suggestions in mind. This has been done. This proposed constitution will be submitted at the next meetin!g of the temporary Students’ Coun.cil. The date and place of this meeting will be posted on the bulletin boards and I hope to see you at this meeting. Doug Evans.
The question of “When is the paper coming out?” has by this time degenerated into “Are we going to have a paper this year?” However, before all memory of what a student newspaper is has faded altogether from yo,ur minds, we bring you this encouraging sign, ’ This, students, is your newspaper, the first Ff what we hope will be a long, successful, informative and, perhap#s, influential series. From the Engineering Students “Enginews” of last year we have developed into a University-wide publication with sections from Arts, Science and Engineering with their respective editors. (See masthead for full layout of staff). As you will have noticed, this publication comes under an empty title head. This is not so much from a lack of titles, rather from/a superfluity of same, but we want to see the name of this paper come from and with the approval of the student body. If you have any ideas on what you would like to see the newspaper called, let us have them. Bear in mind that this newspaper will probably outlive most of us both dn the campus and even in life itself. Its name should be a fitting example of the maturity and ideals of university student: from the University of Waterloo. For every student who submits a name there is the chance that if chosen he will carry the knowledge throughout future years that this’ name was his, his idea, his creation, his contribution to the fo,unding of a new University. (Besides these inherent spiritualistic merits there will also be a materialistic reward of five dollars to the person submitting the name chosen for the newspaper.) Two names are already in mitted. “THE CORYPHAEUS” Leader. “NUNTIAT” which is you have not any ideas of your deserves the title let us know or just write your choice on a Newspaper mail box.

Since the start of the term a tentative Students’ Council or Steering Council has been convened by the heads of the faculty societies or councils and an Acting Executive formed to see to the drawing up of a constitution, distribution of funds, etc. When the Constitution is drawn up and approved an election will be held to choose representatives to the Council and the Council will have the direct authority of the student body. Meanwhile we should stand behind the Steer ing Committee, giving them every help and support till the constitution is drawn up and elections can be held.

ADVICE, TO THE NEEDY By George Bentley dear George: I am 19 years old and am taking an arts course at University and am afraid of the dark. I envision horrible monsters and ghosts when I lie in bed at night. I am actually scared stiff. Mr. George, am ,I being stupid or babyish or can this be cured? Scared in the Dlark. Dear Scared: You are being n’either babyish nor stupid. Ask your mother to put a dim light in your room at night. Many have the same problem and have solved it this way - arts have a large enrollment. * 4 Q Dear George: I have a very touchy problem. Before I came to arts in U. I was going steady with a very nice girl. We both entered the same U. in the same class, and are still going stead,y. Now I’m stuck. I’d like to see some of the other girls I’ve met here and still not offend my steady. What in psychology’s name should I do? LA. Dear LA: Perhaps you’ve don,e enough hand her a copy of this paper., * * * Dear George: My problem is an old-fa,shi,oned grandmother. When she saw my boy friend with his head in my lap she hit the ceiling. Sbe said that it wasI the most unlad,ylike thing she had seen in years and that my mother was out of her mind for permitting it. What’s wrong with a boy resting his head in a girl’s lap? I’m i-i, he’s 18. Hazel. Dear Hazel: Nothing, but you chose a poor setting.

chorus of strong male voices. When a program has been built up there will be several conce\rts in the Kitchener-Waterloo area and in neighbouring communities. Two of these dates have been planned for the near future and others are being negotiated. The most immediate problem facing this new organization is the lack of some strong robust male voices. Members are needed to round out some sections and to bolster others. To this end they are appealing to the engineers, whose membership in this new organizatio’n is practically nonexistent. The club realizes that as it stands now, the rehearsal time is not compatible with the engineers timetable but if enough interest is shown, a mutually satisfactory rehearsal time could 0

The election of the President of the United States is a trivial matter compared to the election of the Executive of the University of of Waterloo Engineering Society. Three weeks ago, when the question arose, “Who for President?” it was Nick, not Nixon, who was being considered. Nominations were held last spring with the following results: Nick Hathway and Mike Hribar were nominated for the office of President, Carl Hamacher and Dave Wallase for Second VicePresident, and John Phillips and Murray French for Treasurer. Bob Nash and Pete Mollard were deprived of the thrill of the rivalry and the uncertainty of campaigning ,by being acclaimed to the offices of Secretary and First Vice-President respectively. With elections slated for O!ctober 11, there was no time lost in beginning campaign procedures. Campaigning was carried out in a dignified manner. No babies (under 116) were kissed. No cigars were handed out (at least I didn’t receive one). I did receive a cup of coffee but I am not prepared to report whether business suddenly increased at the Clown Room. Campaign speeches were made on Thursday, October 6. These were and not at all well attended, “thanks” to the twenty-five who did show some interest. The most striking aspect of the

I might say here that it is also his intention to establish a dramatic societg in the near future which, with the help and support of interested students, should do much in the way of establishing a reputation for the University asI a’ hotbed of budding Thespians. It may be of interest to note here too that the Arts jackets previously mentioned will soon be a reality as the council has accepted one of the, three bids submitted to them and as a result of this ‘a model jacket is being prepared for our approval. As an Artsman, it is with no small degree of satisfaction and comfort that I see the new Arts Clouncil undertaking issues promptly and with apparent ease, thus substantiating the feeling that we have been judicious in our choice of representatives. I am sure they will have a succes,sful year, perhaps, even to the extent of setting a high standard of student administration and representation for future councils. Good luck to them, the first Arts council in the history of this University. George

brought hoarseness, to the voices Bf the Waterloo supporters and the Queen’s University fans who threw in their support for the Waterloo pack. ’ The game started with a lot of spirit by the Waterloo boys which zulminated in two quick tries (3 pts. each) by Brendan O’Connor. Mike Goss tried the kick but narrowly missed each time. However he made up shortly after by kicking a penalty goal (3 pts.). In the second half two dazzling 65~ yd. runs by John Wesno left the To-_ ronto team staring and he sent Tony Hornung over for two touchdowns. Both of these were made good by Mike Goss, giving an extra two points to each try. In the closing minutes, with one of Waterloo’s men off injured, T’oronto broke through the defense and, with the aid of a pipe band standing in the end zone, made their touchdown which they converted for their 51 points. After the encounter Ontario played Quebec in the feature game of the day. Quebec defeated Ontario by 1 point. At five o’clock a meeting was called of all universities. and colleges with the formation of an inter-collegiate rugger league in mind. The basis of four participants in the new league - McGill, Toronto, Queens and O.A.C., Guelph, was established. Waterloo asked to be admit,ted into, this leabue and was pr,omised an opportunitly if it can make the fixtures in Kingston and Montreal. Fending examination of this possibility but an’ticipating a favourable result, Waterloo should! be starting in a “big five” intercollegiate rugger league next fall. Here’s hoping.

Under the enthusiastic guidance of Professor Miller, E,conomics Department, the University of Waterloo Film Society will be attempting to introduce a certain medium of culture to our campus, The Film Slociety is doing its utmost to provide all interested persons with a well-balanced selection of international films. According to the latest reports from the Society, student interest in this latest innovation on campus has) proven rather disappointing. This is in direct contrast to interest shown by faculty members and other outsiders. This Society was formed primarily to promote STUDlENT interest in culture -or are you afraid a taste may spoil your appetite?

We, Artsmen of this University, because of our small numbers thought it wise to organize quickly to ensure that we have a voice and some power to wield in this place of gray jacketed slide rule swinging individuals ,known for lack of a better name as engineers. After some hard grour& work tb,y Gary Palen, to whom we are indebted, an election was held. When all the promises hadI been heard, all the ballots cast and all the dust settled, the results were as follows: President: Terry Jones (more formally “Jonesy”), VicePresident: Judy B’ender, Sec.Treas.: Elizabeth Cunningham, and Athletic Rep. Lloyd Niziol. In additi,on to the Arts Council proper, there were appointed two voting members to the Student Union, they being George Pollit and Mary Beth Boone. Terry was elected on the basis of a six-lpoint program which he outlined in his campaign address saying he planned to: draw up a constitution for Arts, form a committee to co-operate on the University constitution, form a social activities committee, and investigate the’ purchase of Arts jackets.
