BY THE UNIVERSITY
You have just become a student of the Univeristy of Waterloo, and are now entitled to the name “Freshman”. You have also automatically become a member of the Engineering Society of the University of Waterloo, the legislative body which looks after the interests of the Engineering students. It is on behalf of this Society that I extend to you sincere best wishes in your attempt to advance your education. While your primary concern will always be your academic welfare, it is to be hoped that you take a lively interest in your school, its activities and organizations. If your education consists only of what can be taught and learned in the lecture rooms, then you will indeed have missed a very important part of university life. “-____--_ll__

GermanGroups DonateBooks The Germanic studies section of the University of Waterloo library is growing rapidly due to several contributions from German organizations, both in Canada and Germany. According to Professor J. William Dyck, head of the German -and Russian department, some 200 books have been received within recent weeks. A gift of 80 valuable books for the study of German philology and literature has been received from Dr. Countess Von Lippe, who is in charge of the book supply for the German Institute of Foreign Affairs at Stuttgart. The Institute was founded in 1917 to promote an exchange of thought and studies in the arts and letters between Germany and other countries. Included are references, histories of literature, original works of German
writers as well as critical analyses of literature, philosophy, history, etc. Another gift of books has been forwarded to the university by Miss Sigrid Lanzrath, who is in charge of the North American Bureau for Internationes, a cultural organization located in Bonn. These books are for both distribution as gifts to students and for the library. Additional books for research and schol ship are en route from t 3 e German Research Institute at Godesberg, according to a letter from Dr. Gisela von Busse to Dr. Dyck. Dr von Busse is in charge of the library program at the Institute. The university has also received three valuable books from the Consul General of the Federal Republic of Germany (West Germany). In addition, Dr. R. G. Stanton, Chairman of Graduate Studies at the university has donated 77 books on German language and literature from his personal library.

Your Engineering Society + Now that you are here as a freshman, let us acquaint you with the most important organization on campus for the undergraduate engineer. This is the Engineering Society of the University of Waterloo. This is your voice on campus. We of the past and present Engineering Society executives are very proud of the progress that has been made in the few short years that we have been established. Most important to you are probably the social functions. Many and varied events are carried out during the year. Of these, one of the newest and, we hope, most looked forward to, is Wa Wa Wee ‘61, in which you will have the chance to participate shortly. Others include the Annual Spring Formal; football weekends, and the annual Students VS. Professors baseball and cricket matches.

pate that the theatre facility may help bring leading attractions to the Twin Cities, particularly during the Festival season, due to the proximity to Stratford. Entrance to the theatre will be through the main lobby of the Arts Building. The lobby section of the main floor will be two stories high with a skylight dome. Access to the theatre and lower floor will be by ramps. Design of the arts building emphasizes a close studentfaculty contact with seminar rooms, individual study offices in which faculty members can hold student interviews. The main and upper floors of the Arts Building will contain classrooms, seminar rooms, laboratories and study offices. Classrooms will eontain 50 to 60 seats for formal lectures while the seminar rooms of 15-20 seat capacity will be used by all advanced classes for lectures, discussion sessions and presentation of seminar papers. Classrooms and laboratories will be located in the centre of the building with offices and seminar rooms on the outside walls. Laboratories include a geography lab, psychology lab and a 54-unit language lab which will be located on the lower floor. A student coffee room, women’s lounge and faculty lounge are also planned for the lower floor which opens onto a terrace
facing the theatre wing. The Arts Building begins a new construction phase in the planning of the University of Waterloo. The present Chemistry and Chemical Engineering Building, Physics and Mathematics Building and Engineering Building make up the engineering and science cell of the campus. The Arts Building will be the first structure in the arts cell and will be located between the present buildings and the residential church colleges. The building will vary architecturally from the existing buildings by the use of long, vertical, outward facing V-shaped window areas and a darker eolored brick. The ratio of glass to brick will be the same as in the present buildings. The university’s buildings have achieved a distinction for attractiveness and layout and economy of construction and maintenance. Materials used in the arts building will reflect this previous experience with emphasis placed on the use of made-in-canada materials. Heating will be provided from the central plant in the Physics and Mathematics Building. The Building will be air eonditioned as are the other buildings which are used in the summer by engin;;erio;~ students, summer students and faculty.

NEWPARTY The New Democratic Party will of course contribute to Canada’s political history. The years of talking and planning, culminating in the Ottawa convention, are now part of Canada’s political history and must affect in some way the course of that history. But the question remains, what sort of contribution? Whatever happens to the N.D.P. as an organized political force, whether it increases in strength to control the government of Canada or whether, like so many other new movements, it simply fades out of existence, its effect will almost certainly be to hasten the trend of Canadian polities towards a planned economy and towards increased welfare services. A New Democratic Party government would, as a matter of course, initiate a fairly broad socialist policy. But if the N.D.P. disappears from the Canadian political scene it will be largely because the old line parties, recognizing that the N.D.P. has been formed in answer to real and widespread disatisfactions, will themselves make the reforms demanded by the N.D.P. This is not an improbable effect. History has many examples of eonservative parties retaining power and influence by absorbing some of the policies of radical movements and thereby depriving the radicals of their raison d’etre. The Conservatives and Liberals in Canada, like the Conservatives in Britain and, indeed, both parties in the United States, could quite reasonably argue that it is better to be a half-hearted socialist in office than an uncompromising free-enterpriser in the political wilderness. The N.D.P. will collapse if its opponents succeed in depicting it as an extremist radical movement trying to force on the Canadian people an alien political ideology. It may succeed if it is able to create the image of a better responsible party, equipped than the existing parties for running the government of Canada in the best interests of the Canadian people. In short, the sueeess of the party will depend less on the particular policies adopted by all the parties than on the image each is able to present to the public. At the moment the odds seem to be against the N.D.P. Our electoral system is heavily weighted against third parties; most of the great media of communieation are firmly in the control of the opponents of the N.D.P.; strenuous efforts have been made, with suecess, to equate socialism with communism and the N.D.P. will certainly suffer from attempts to smear it with charges of Communist sympathy. Its main strength lies in disillusionment with the two big parties and the feeling that they do not offer satisfactory alternatives. T. H. Qualter. NOTICE Radio Club
