Visits Waterloo Dr. Mordell one of the foremost authorities on numbers in the world gave two lectures in the Physics Ampitheatre last Friday. Doctor Mordell has been Chairman of the Board of Mathematics at, the University of Manchester, a visiting professeur at the Universities of Notre Dame, Colorado and Rochester and is also a Fellow of the Royal Society of London. His afternoon lecture dealt with Advanced Number Theory and was mainly for the Mathematics Department. His evening lecture was open to the public and there were close to 70 people in attendance. The lecture at night consisted of Prime
Integer Theory from Greek to modern times with nothing involved which the average freshman could not understand. Among the subjects was Fermat’s Last Theorem and problems along that line. Also Doctor Mordell promised to send fifty dollars to any person who could give him the integer solution to the problem X raised to the fourth power plus Y raised to the fourth power plus Z raised to the fourth power equals W raised to the fourth power. When you solve the equation just send your answers to Doctor Mordell in care of the University of Notre Dame.
Near the end of October there appeared on the bulletin boards of the University a letter from Paul Dirksen, acting President of the Temporary Students Council giving the reasons for the formation of the aforementioned Council and the acts which it planned to carry out.
These acts were the obtaining and distribution of Studfees which has been carried out and the drawing up of the contitituion for the Students Council of which nothing has been heard of since. The constitution was apparently already being drafted at the time of the
4 F. C. U. S. i300.00 per year. At the Jniversity of British Columbia a brief on education brepared by their NFCUS :ommittee has been quoted n Parliament 3.2 times. In -960 one of the most amjitious projects was the Semnar on Research, Education md National Development It the University of British Columbia, to which students rom every University in Canada came.
Doesa Day Equal Twenty-four Hours? The large Physics Ampitheatre was the setting for a most informative and entertaining lecture January 16. Professor M. G. Rochester of the Geophysics Department of the University of Toronto gave a lecture en“Does the Earth’s titled Magnetism Make it a Faulty Clock.” Professor Rochester delineated the present theory on the earth’s magnetism, the Dynamo Theory and how it accounts for such geological findings as the reversal of the earth’s magnetic in some earlier period. He explained the origin of the Toroidal Magnetism within the earth and the slow movement westwards of magnetic intensifications. By the study of magnetohydrodynamic currents within the earth’s liq-
uid core it has been found that the core of the earth is revolving faster than the mantle and crust. Also because of the electric currents set up in the mantle opposing the currents within the fluid centre there are torques act.ing on the mantle resulting in slight deviations in the rotation of the mantle. These deviations have resulted in a difference of one millisecond from the mean solar day. This time difference may not seem much but in that time interval the decay of polonium to lead passes through thirty three hundred and thirty-three half-lifes or if you had twenty pounds of polonium 212 at the beginning of that millisecond you would have almost pure lead at the end of it.
Club NoticesMathematics
and Physics Society
The newly formed University of Waterloo Mathematies and Physics Society held its organizational meeting last Wednesday, in the Student Common Room. It was decided that the Club would hold monthly meetings, each one featuring a talk by a well known and/or interesting mathematics, speaker in physics or related fields. Purposes of these talks would be to explore interesting areas not covered by the usual university courses, and at a fairly elementary level. Following this, elections were held with the following results : .
President-Erie Vice-Pres.-Peter
Manning. Shantz
Secretary-Beth
Koch
Treasurer-John stone.

It was decided at the Executive Meeting .that the membership in the Club would be open to anyone, regardless of course or faculty, willing to pay the dollar membership fee. The next meeting, featuring the first speaker will be held sometime in February. Watch the bulletin boards for announcements.

What is this “University Life?” It involves a responsibility unknown to most stud?nts fresh from the High Schools, 1 for in University the students are not under 2s direct a tutelage or diszipline as the students in High School. As a University student you have much in common with University students all across Canada, and it is for this reason that the National Federation of Canadian University Students exists. The organization and purpose of this Federation is the same as other professional organizations in Canada (the Engineering Institute of Canada, for example); to represent and be the official spokesman for the Common aims and interests of all Canadian University students. These national aims vary widely; from increased financial support by industry and government for the Universities and their students to the issuing of identification cards enabling students to get many discounts in stores and on services. Once a year there is a National Congress, to which delegates from all the member Universities come to plan their year’s activities; This year there were thirty-four different Universities represented, from the University of British Columbia in Vancouver to the Memorial University in St. John’s Reports are handed in on the year’s activities, and plans and resolutions worked out for the next year. With much arguing, debating, resolving

Starting at 8.30 a.m., working through until 11.00 p.m., and the adjourning to the regional caucuses to plan the activities of interest to 2ach particular region is the general format followed. International Affairs, National Affairs, Administration and Finance; each section works out its own program which is then submitted to the entire Congress for approval. And out of it all Comes the program for the next year, the responsibilities and projects delegated to the member Universities and the National Secretariat of the N.F.C.U.S. The activities vary widely; from an ambitious proposal to ask the government for a fund to provide 10,000 annual scholarships of $600.00 each to enable many more students to attend Universities, to deciding who represents Canadian students at International Student Conferences. On the individual University campuses, the NFCUS brings the many benefits of a national organization. Literary and photographic cont.ests, student exchanges arranged both international and between Canadian Universities, support of student petitions and grievances to the University administrations and to the government. In Quebec, the NFCUS organized and supported a student strike that forced the Quebec government to accept Federal financial aid, reducing student fees as much as

To convince ;hem of this is the first aim 2nd objective of the NFCUS. These NFCUS representaJives on the University campuses are chosen in difrerent ways; sometimes they zre elected by student vote, sometimes they are appoint3d by student council. It is their duty to represent the NFCUS on the campus; to .nform the students on what 1s being done for them on a national level, and to keep the national secretariat inEormed of student opinion 3n their campuses. Once every year they represent the students of their University at the National Congress, held this year at Dalhousie University, in Halifax. The delegates to these Congresses are usually the NFCUS chairmen, and very often the Student Council Presidents.

Letters
EDITORIAL Produced below in part is an editorial from the Toronlo Daily Star and since it concerns every one of us directly I thought it worthy of note. It is entitled “SPUTTERING PROFESSORS” and reads as follows: “University faculties are prone to blame the schools for the high failure rates among first year university students - one in every four or five flunks out. They may have got the wrong sow by the ear. Part of the blame rests with the universities themselves - poor teaching in their own pastures. Professors and lecturers call themselves teachers but in fact far too many of them are not. They do not know how to teach and have never had any instruction in the art. The presumption seems to be that it is enough to expose the college student to a lecturer whose mind has been pronounced full by a Ph.D. degree, and then by some magical osmosis, the professorial knowledge will flow to the student. As often as not there is no such magic. Every person who has been a university student has experienced professors who, however brilliant in their special fields, mumble and jumble through a lecture, sputter among ill-sorted notes, or merely read chapters from a book perhaps their own. It might be said that many students succeed in spite of their professors and not because of them.” In short, the remainder of that editorial says that the United States are beginning to adopt a system whereby professors and lecturers are instructed in the problems of education and teaching methods. Canada would do well to adopt a similar system says the editorial. If I was to denounce everything said in that editorial as a tissue of lies, I would be an apple polishing hypocrite. Certainly I have had better teachers but is it a teacher that I need now? I think not. At this stage I believe an impersonal director is much more valuable. By director, I mean someone who shows or tells the student what is required of him and then leaves the responsibility of learning completely to the student. I believe the university faculties have the high schools the “right sow by the ear ” as far as blaming for university failure rates but I agree with this only when the failures referred to are first year students. I would blame the high school because “spoon feeding” goes on there on a grand scale especially in grade thirteen, if anywhere, an effort should be made to reduce this “big stick” type of discipline. It is not reduced however, because high school principals these days are preoccupied with establishing fine graduate records. This is wrong because these records stem from two things: a willingness to learn, which is good and a “spoon feeding” with threat of punishment and this, is bad. Certainly it gets him through grade thirteen but when he Comes to university that one in five finds himself without his spoon feeding crutch, he cannot learn to walk in seven mont.hs so he falls. At this stage a student should realize that nobody is pushing him and that no immediate axe is hanging over his head. This is perhaps the major role of the university in that it forces the student to take the initiative and strike out on his own. I feel this type of “do or die” attitude of the faculties is correct, for today’s students are tomorrow’s leaders. In the future, other people will be looking to them for guidance, and because they have been taught to use their own initiative, taught to make their own decisions and taught the value of self-reliance, they will be in a position to capably accept the leadership in tomorrow’s society.

Dear Mr. Editor: Despite the fact that the Initiation Dance Committee put lots of work into the event, the music definitely did not show it. The dance was well publicized as was shown by the large number of females in attendance. The gym itself was well prepared and this certainly helped the evening; however the same preparation was obviously not made as far as the music was concerned. During the dance, there were times when dancers had to struggle through two consecutive albums of teen type singers. There were other times when one was expected to dance to music which I am sure was only designed to listen to and nothing more. What I think our dances need is an M.C. or a reasonable facsimile with enough good taste in music to know what is danceable and what is not. The scarcest commodity around this school is females and this is not more acutely felt than at dances. If we continue to offer them such drivel in the way of music (and this goes for all our record dances) then they will cease to put in an appearance. Isn’t that food for thought gentlemen? W. Schneider, 3A Mechanical Dear Sir: But of course, Eichmann must be executed, and if not executed, th.en. at least imprisoned for life. An example must be made, so that other men will be deterred from actions of this magnitude. He cannot be allowed to return to society, for he is a danger and a menace. Catastrophe would result should he ever be allowed the freedom of society; this in itself must be self evident from the last fifteen years that he spent loose in the world.

My second reaction was one of admiration and gratitude to Stuart Hunter. I must admire him because he dared to make his secret feelings known. He dared to tell us the truth, that we students are self-satisfied and complacent. Personally I am grateful to Mr. Hunter for helping me to face my complacency and to rise above it; for it is because of his article that I write now. My final reaction, however, was one of deep concern; concern not only for the complacency of we students at Waterloo, but, also for the sentiments expressed

torture, would be nothing but an encouragement for others to oppress minority $YOUP% and systematically exterminate them. Now this trial should be conducted in Israel, a country that did not even exist at the time of the actions that he is charged with. And he should be tried according to an international code of law, despite the fact that he has been brought to trial in a manner contemptuous of all international law, so that ultimately the rule of law will be held in high regard by all nations. The against him are charges something else again; he is charged with genocide, despite the fact that his alleged victims were neither of one race, nor of one nation. He should be tried by those nations who conducted the ‘war-crimes trials’ in Nuremburg at the end of the war, in the same manner and respect as those former trials were staged. This in itself is essential, for were justice ever allowed to creep in, nothing but a chaotic upheaval of society could result. Russia could ideally serve as the Chief Prosecutor. They have had over forthy years experience in the systematic murder of minority segments of their own population. The United States and Canada might serve as assistants to the prosecution. After all with the extermination of the aboriginal populations on our hands we are well qualified to give counsel. The most important thing though is a conviction; a hypocrisy has already been established at Nuremburg and nothing would be gained by abandoning this tradition now. Various German military and Government officials died after the Nuremburg trials for plotting and waging ‘an aggressive war .’ Yet when are leader of Britain, France and Israel to
THERE IS AN ANSWER As I glanced through the January 13th edition of Coryphaeus, the headline “University of Waterloo Students are Smug, Complacent, Self-centred Slobs,” caught my attention. When I had finished reading the article and had taken notice of who the author was, I found that my reactions were several I was quite and varied. surprised that such a tirade should come from Mr. Hunter, a person whom I had considered quite easy-going. This just goes to show how little I know about what my friends are thinking.

be placed on trial for what the United Nations, and they themselves, admitted was an aggressive war against Egypt in 1956? A German Field Marshall is condemned to death for actions that are encouraged in the American rules of war. A German General is condemned to death because some troops under his command shot a few Canadian prisoners. But where are the Canadians who murdered hundreds of German prisoners? He will probably be tried for genocide, or failing this, for mass murder. Significantly perhaps, unless a Nuremburg type trial is resurrected, he will not be tried by those other nations guilty of mass murder. What would be said were the men responsible for the deaths of 150,000 Japanese at Hiroshima and Nagasaki put on trial? Where are the men responsible for the deaths of 400,000 people in three flaming nights in Dresden? Or those responsible for the deaths of 150,000 in three days of Hell in Hamburg? We are supposed to be moving toward a society that will be ruled by law, and will respect the decision of law rather than resorting to the force of arms. How can this purpose be served by the continuing persecution of one nation, a persecution enforced only by our military superiority over them? If these trials are to be held, then all men, from all nations who are guilty, or even suspect, must be brought before the same impartial court of justice. So far it has only been a facade of revenge, there has been no thought ‘of impartiality to the accused. The Treaty of Versailles catalysed a holocaust eclipsing entirely the war it ended; at this rate what will the Trials of Nuremburg bring forth? Theodore

in the last half of Mr. Hunter’s article. To say the least I was appalled at such an extreme demonstration of anti-American feeling. For me it showed most clearly the extent to which the thinking of Canadians has been subverted. During the past few noticed an months I have increase in the number of condemnations of the U.S. by Canadians. When will we learn that the only way to survive the Communist bid for world domination is for the free nations of the West to unite and fight together? To unite with our neighbours we must purge ourselves of our petty greeds and hatreds towards others. We have often criticized the Americans for their worship of the almighty dollar. But, since the U.S. has cut off trade with Cuba, who is it who has rushed m to fill a fast the gap and “make buck?” Why we pious Canaduans of course. How profitable this newest venture will be has yet to be seen. With the Cuban economy on the rocks due to the follies of the Castro regime how will Cuba pay for th< goods she receives from Canada? We say that
the U.S. was wrong for cutting off trade and diplomatic relations with Cuba. However, I wonder if Canada was on the receiving end of all the insults and accusations of the Castro government, just how long we would stand for such nonsence. People still can’t believe that Cuba is in the clutches of Communism. ‘Che” Guevara, Cuba’s economic planner said recently in reference to the Cuban revolution: “If this revolution has any ideology then that ideology is Cuban Marxism, the application of the ideology of Karl Marx to the peculiar problems of Cuba.” The Castro regime is openly promoting communist doctrines and is stepping up its drive against the Catholic church and any other so-called “counter-revolutionary” groups. It is interesting to note that the ,only political party with legal status in Cuba is the Communist Party. Still we rush to trade with such a government. I agree with Mr. Hunter when he says “Now is the time for Canada to get things straightened out.” We need to clear away Continued on Page 3

Mr. Hunter: I agree with you that very little is being done around here by the student body as a whole. However, I feel that your proposals of student demonstrations or protests would fail to serve their purpose - unless they are organized, planned, and generally supported. Interesting students at this university in their own welfare (or getting them up off their butts for their own good, as you say) is the primary problem to overcome.

ANSWER Cont’d the fog of compromise and face facts. Certainly we students have an important part to play in the moulding of our nation’s thinking. Mr. Hunter, in his article, outlines some of the deplorable results of racial bitterness in America. Of course these violences and hateful actions are a terrible blot upon the record of the U.S. Of course, World Communism exploits incidents like Little Rock to the greatest possible extent. Fortunately there is a solution to the race problem, and that solution has been found in Little Rock. The fact is that we rarely hear of the answer in the Canadian press we just hear about the problem. Are there subversive forces at work to keep us from hearing the good news of problems being solved? I would like to briefly tell of how certain key people in Little Rock have found an answer to racial bitterness and are creating a new spirit there. During the summer of 1959 three separate delegations went from Little Rock to the Summit Strategy Conference for Moral Re-Armament (M.R.A.) at Mackinac Island, Michigan. There they learned of a superiod ideology based upon the idea that human nature can be chang. ed. They heard two former Mau Mau leaders from Kenya and the white men they had sworn to kill tell of how they had found an answer to division bitterness and through the application of Moral Re-Armament. These people returned to Little Rock with a new vision.

NEW SERIES Beginning in this issue, with the article ‘National Development’, is a new series If articles written by Theolore A. Rushton. These arti:les are based on lectures and liseussions from the Third National Seminar of the NFCUS, held in the summer 3f 1960 at the University of British Columbia. The artiales are based primarily on the lectures given there, the first one appearing in this issue is from the lecture by Walter L. Gordon. Other speakers at the Seminar, on whose lectures articles will be written, include Dr. John Convey, Dr. David M. Myers, Dr. Eugene Forsey and Dean F. H. Soward. The Seminar was about Research, Education, and National Development, and this series of articles will deal with the various aspects of these topics, as presented by the different lecturers. A prominent Little Rock architect, Edwin Cromwell, put it this way: “Little Rock will become the symbol of hope and not hatred for the world through M.R.A.” His partner said: “I hope the world will forgive us for Little Rock. We have had two years of crisis because we have not known which way to go. But here we have Mr. found the right way.” Cromwell designed a film studio which has just been built at the M.R.A. training centre on Mackinac Island. In this studio films depicting an answer to racial and class bitterness are now being produced for television and movie houses across the continent . Mrs. Daisy Bates, the leading negro woman in Little Rock, upon returning from Mackinac was inspired to do a surprising thing. She went to visit Governor Faubus of Arkansas with whom she had fought so hard over the issue of integration in the schools of Little Rock. She apologized to the Governor for her bitterness and shook hands with him. Faubus responded very warmly to her visit. This story was publicized widely through the South, and was heralded as a miracle. The spirit exhibited by Mrs. Daisy Bates seems tc have taken effect for there has been no new trouble in Little Rock. This all goes tc show that when peopk change situations change also. I feel that we student5 need to hear and learn more of this superior ideology 01 Moral Re-Armament which is producing such positive results all over the world To this end I am going tc see that such news is placed in our library where all ear read it.
PARKING STICKERS When I got the new car last Thursday night I was told that I’d get the ownership papers and the insurance transfer slip the next day. This was all well and good, I felt, since I could get my parking sticker on Monday. This didn’t work out. When I tried to find my ear after the first lecture on Friday, it was gone. This made me a little angry so I went roaring up to see Mr. Brookes, Superintendent of Buildings and Grouds. After being assured that I’d get the ear back I asked Mr. Brookes just why we needed the stickers to park on University property. It seems that the Unsatisfied Judgment Fund applies only in cases occurring on the public roadways of the province. Any uninsured person (covered only by the Unsatisfied Judgment Fund) who causes an accident on nrivate property is no longer covered by liability insurance. I’he University Campus is Private property. It then follows that if one is pulling out of the parking ot and Joe Schmaltz piled into you with his old ‘34 Dodge rou’re in a bit of trouble. If Joe isn’t covered, except under ;he U.J.F., the only way you can get him to pay for the lamages is to take him to court, etc. This probably won’t lo much good since if he can’t afford insurance he probably ;an’t afford to pay for the damage to your ear. By issuing these parking stickers, the University hopes to protect the nsured drivers of the school. In order to get the sticker, as you all know, you must 3rove that you are covered by liability insurance. This can De proven by showing either your insurance receipt or your 61 ownership permit. (On the ‘61 licences there is a place which shows whether you paid out the money for the U.J.F.) Thus getting the parking sticker is for your own protection and nothing else. If you’ve got a sticker you can park on the University property. Without the sticker your ;ar will be towed away, at your expense. If you don’t have liability insurance, park somewhere else. Q FOR QUEST This is a new C.B.C. series at 10.30 Tuesday evenings. It makes a very interesting study break for those interested. The aim of the series is to present interesting and thought provoking items about Canada to Canadians. In the inlugural programme there was a ballet/drama called “Burlap Bags." This thought provoking issue dealt with the man’s view of city dwellers. To him they were nothing but a bunch of stupid animals hiding under a burlap bag to escape the glaring, searing light of reality. The second programme dealt with Art in Canada. A group of Canadian artists discussed what they were doing, and trying to do. The number on Tuesday the 17th will deal with the works of the Canadian poet James Reaney on a theme of Life and Death in Canada. For those interested in a relaxing bit of exercise for the intellect and imagination, Q for Quest offers quite a bit. FATIGUE AND THE HUMAN MIND In Newsweek Magazine for January 2, there was in interesting article on the sleep needs of the individual. Although the causes of fatigue were dealt with to an interesting extent, the most interesting part of the article was the section on “Owls” and “Larks”. It seems that some people are naturally built to work for long hours into the night while others are fresher first thing in the morning. The things that Selye (McGill) and Kleitman (U. of Chicago) pointed out show that the individual should find out whether he is a Lark, (i.e., a good worker in the earlier hours of the new day), or an Owl (i.e., one of those fellows who just gets goind around 11.30 or so) and make the best use of this. There is no sense staying up until 3.30 trying to absorb something if you aren’t an owl. It is better to go to bed 4 hours earlier and then get up and study at about 4 a.m. In this ease if your are a Lark you will be further ahead. (And just as one owl to another, I hate being awakened any time before 11.30 any morning).

Sports Warriors
94 - Ryerson 63
The Warriors launched their regular season in grand style by decisively beating Ryerson 94 to 63. Our team held a commanding lead throughout even although Ryerson did appear to rally toward the end but it was a ease of “too Incidentally those 94 points set a new little too late.” scoring record for basketball in Seagram stadium. Top scorers for the Warriots were Jones (28), Palmer (16), Pando (13), and Aldridge (13). As a spectator I appreciated the fine announcing job done by Lewis Taylor and hope he will be doing it regularly. If nothing else, the J.V.‘s were consistent against Hamilton Teacher’s College. They lost 54 to 40. Don’t lose any sleep over it guys, it’s only a game.
Injuries

Warrior
Hoopsters
It’s not often a basketball coach has to look blue because of an injury riddled roster but Warrior coach Dan Pugliese has his problems with three of his players operating under restricted effectivity because of injuries. His top scoring star Billy Jones (he of the 2%point-pergame-average) has his left hand in a east with a broken third metaearpel bone. He plans to play with the east on and although admittedly he doesn’t do much scoring with his left hand, just how much it reduces his effectiveness remains to be seen. Jones injured his hand in the Assumption game, and got it banged again against Ryerson I_ forcing X-rays and east. More seriously injured is Brian McCormick who sprained his ankle in the game against Assumption. He will be out from two to three weeks and will be sorely missed. Although only 5’ 9” he could jump with the best of them and was the most manouverable man on the court. Also injured was Ian MacNaughton who had a badly banged toe which was at first thought to be broken. X-rays showed no break but that news didn’t put an end to the soreness. He’s still walking gingerly - but will be playing.
Hockey At the hockey game on Thursday the 12th, our team dropped a real thriller of a game to Guelph O.A.C. by only 11 to 1. The fans who turned out were not a large group but they were enthusiastic. This enthusiasm soon gave way to apprehension then dismay then disgust and then to a type of jocund hysteria which set the tone for the bulk of game. The crowd kept reminding one of our stalwarts that the C----Room was closing soon and that he had better hurry up. I know that the players are out there essentially to have a good time and enjoy themselves, that hockey does not appear to be emphasized as a major sport at this university, that the team had only one practice prior to the game but . . . must the team build such a reputation so fast and crumple school pride with such apparent ease? Let’s have a little more effort out there. I know that in every game there must be a winner and a loser but fellas, do you have to lose by so much? I wish you much better luck in tonight’s game and in future contests.
Independence? or Union with the United States? This is the question that Canada must face over the next twenty years; whether or not Canada will remain an independent nation or become a satellite of the United States. Whether we like to admit it or not, Canada has been losing a considerable measure of her independence, both politically and economically, to the United States over the past few years. And, to be sensible, we should either take steps to accelerate the pace of further integration with the United States, politically and economically; or alternatively, to take steps without delay to reverse the present trend. Either alternative would entail difficulties and some unpleasantness ; free trade and ultimate political and economic union with the United States would involve serious unemployment and disruptions in Canadian industry; independence would result in terms of a less rapid rise in our standard of living, although not greater unemployment. Furthermore, either solution would not be immediate, to be successful we should have to work at it for many years with great determination. But to refuse to face up to the dilemma in which we find ourselves or to admit its implications will lead inevitably to our becoming more or less a helpless satellite of the United States. Politically, we are allied to the cause of the United States and we cannot go neutral. In the first place, there is the problem of neither superwwaphy, power would oblige Canada by going around or even over us, any more than Germany did in 1914 or in 1940. And apart from this, the Americans are our friends, our very best friends ~ even if we find their attentions a little overpowering at times. And the Russian Communists are not our friends, let us remember. We do not like their system, and we want no part of it.

This does not mean a subservience to the United States or to anyone, for that matter. The United Nations and NATO are cornerstones of our foreign policy, and they should remain so. But what of NORAD? It all boils down to the fact that Canada has contributed a few squadrons to the American Air Force. If Canadian forces are to be equipped with nuclear arms, without which the Bomare is ineffective, then the decision to use these nuclear arms and warheads should be a Canadian decision alone, and not jointly as responsibility of the American President and the Canadian Prime Minister. Can you imagine, in some grave national emergency, retalitory measures being delayed while the officials in question are located, the situation explained to them, and their approval given to repel attack?
Bowling Captains and curling skips are reminded that they are responsible for seeing to it that they have a full team out for each match. Any student who did not sign the lists but would like to bowl or curl, they may do so by presenting themselves at the respective sites of competitions and let it be known that they’re ready and willin’.
Canada can achieve a considerable measure of independence if we manage our affairs intelligently. What is needed is to agree upon the objectives that Canada should aim for, and then to

(8) Will they benefit the people in depressed sections of Canada, or people in other countries who are less well off than we are? Some of these policies are, of course, not mutually exelusive. For example, a broad program of public works may help alleviate unemployment but this is some way must be paid for and this may reduce personal incomes or increase the cost of living or cause inflationary measures, either now or in the future. Borrowing by municipalities in the United States when the Canadian dollar is at a premium may solve an immediate problem, but this may have to be repaid when the Canadian dollar is at a discount which would entail heavy additional costs. In short, it will be impossible to please everybody with any set of policies. But in deciding upon the best course for Canada to follow in the years immediately ahead, the first two factors are of paramount importance. With unemployment the highest now since the war the problem isn’t going to be solved by rhetoric or exhortation, or by ad hoe measures of relief, but instead by policies that are going to correct the situation over the long term. If we really wish Canada to retain her separate identity as an independent nation, we shall have to re-examine our present defence and foreign policies and do something about stopping and then reversing the trend under which such a staggering number of our most dynamic industries have fallen into foreign hands. Now, how does education fit into this? If we decide we want to recapture some of our disappearing independence and if we succeed in this attempt, all kinds of research work will be required in Canada. If industries in Canada are to be Canadian owned, then their research will have to be done in Canada, and not dependent on another nation. There must be an urgent incentive to improve our educational facilities at all levels and to make it possible and desirable for a larger percentage of our High School graduates to go on to University.
