The Waterloo Warriors Basketball squad got off to a roaring start in their Sr. OQAA league schedule with a 63-42 win on the road against Queen’s Golden Gaels. On their return to Waterloo? the Warriors played an exhibition game against Fredonia State Teachers College and beat them 91-78. The game in Kingston, although it was a fairly decisive win was not up to the standard expected by the coach. Coach Dan Pugliese said after the game that the team’s shooting was not at all what it should be if they are to win ball games. For the Warriors, Mike Bosch and Ray Palmer each had 12 while Dick Aldridge had 10 points. For Queen’s, Doug Evans had 10 and Al Raisbeck had 9 points. The Warriors led at half time 32-25. Early in the second half, Queen’s pulled to 31-31 but could not do much more. Later with the Warriors leading 49-39 they scored 10 straight points. In the last few minutes the Gaels put on a full court press and scored three more points. Evidently the Warriors’ shooting improved between Dec. 2 and Dec. 9 because the percentages were up almost all across the board as Mike Bosch scored 25, Harlan Krier 24, and Ray Palmer 21 points. The Warriors led by only 43-40 at the half, but ulled away in the second Ralf. The game as a whole was hard fought and well played but the Warriors proved to Fredonia that again this year, Canadian basketball is no pushover as it used to be. In the JV game the Pioneers were edged out by Fredonia State by a 72-67
score. This game too was close all the way and saw a peppy squad from the U of W, lacking their regular coach, take a thin four point lead at the half, In the second half, the Fredonia team opened up with a press and scored quickly on interceptions and stolen balls. The Pioneers fought back gamely but ended up on the short end of the score. N.B. N.B. N.B. COMING EVENTS N.B. N.B. N.B. The big game before Christmas is the game tomorrow night at the K-W Memorial Auditoriumagainst the Assumption University “Lancers” of Windsor. This is the Warriors first home game and promises to be a real thriller as the Lancers were one of the two teams that beat the Warriors last year (in overtime) and they will have a strong team again this year. Assumption along with Western will probably present the. Warriors’ toughest opposition this season. So for Sr. Basketball at its best, be sure to be at the Auditorium tomorrow night. The Pioneers open their season at home against the Waterloo Lutheran University “Hawks” at 7.00 p.m. and the Warriors’ game is at 8.15. On Dec. 22 (Friday) the Warriors travel to Buffalo for an exhibition game against Erie Tech. Then on the return to classes on Jan. 4, Carleton University of Ottawa will be here to play at Seagram Gym (exhibition). On the 6th of January, the Warriors travel to Windsor for a return match with the Lancers. For the best Basketball around follow the Warriors!
~cTO DANCE or not TO DANCE” The Students’ Council is contemplating holding a formal dance some time during the winter term. They are interested in hearing some student opinion concerning this idea. Suggestions regarding whether tuxedos should be worn, whether the dance should be a graduation formal, where the dance should be held, what date would be best, or other ideas should be addressed to the Publicity Director and dropped in the Students’ Council box on the second floor of the Physics Building opposite the Regis: trar’s office.
Waterloo University took time out last week to stage a three-hour Prelude to the coming Christmas season : the annual Christmas Banquet. A true Christmas spirit pervaded throughout the festivities. After the Bleassing by Dr. Rees, a toast was sung by the Glee Club and dinner was served by trains of waiters in white. During the sumptuous repast, the hilarious gift exchange between faculties took place (staff cartoonist Bill McKibbon received a Huckleberry Hound colouring set from St. Jerome’s college), and Father Siegfried deliver-
.I
ed a short but pertinent Christmas message. The entertainment which followed was excellent and ‘highly imaginative. It combined all features of Christmas from the gay wassailing to the nativity scene - into a tasteful blend of music, singing, narration, tableaux and drama sequences. By the end all four hundred guests felt warm with dinner, laughter, carolling and entertainment. We thank those responsible, for allowing us to share our first cup of Christmas cheer with our University.

JOYFUL BANQUETING
A very large proportion of the engineering student body both those on campus and those now in industry, completed and returned the Questionnaire recently distributed. The results, which are summarized below, are quite interesting. In all respects save one, the opinions of the two groups polled were almost identical. The results are summarized below. 1. Reasons for coming to the University of Waterloo. The three reasons given in order on each reply were weighted 3, 2, 1 and the percentage distribution of the weighted totals is given below: Students On Campus 7%

Of the 10% weight given to “Other” reasons, the PreEngineering Year accounted for 45a/,, in turn the Cooperative Plan itself (which had not been separately identified in the main questions) accounted for 15a/,, and the remainder had a variety of reasons including advice from employer, etc. It is interesting to note that the attractiveness of the opportunity for experience on the co-operative plan was consistently ranked ahead of the financial features of the co-operative plan. The small proportion indicating the importance of location with respect to home coincides with data from the Registrar’s Office indicating the very wide distribution of origin of engineering students on the cooperative plan. 2.

LETTERSTO THE EDITOR ,The Editor, : ‘Coryphaem, ’ Dear Sir: I am a member of the St. John Ambulance Brigade and consequently concerned with any matters regarding first aid. Sandra Sanders’ article entitled “In Aid of First Aid,” in the Corgphaeus Nov. 30, 1961, has brought to light a situation which should be rectified immediately. I took it for granted’ that an institution of this size had- adequate facilities. for first aid, and her article certainly came as a surprise if not as a shock to me. * I certainly hope that a First Aid Station, properly equipped and staffed, will be established, and I suggest that the location of it be printed in dur student directories or perhaps posted on the entrance directories of the t;arious buildings. With regard to the training of first aiders, I am sure that the local bran& of the St. John Ambulance Association is -prepared to extend its fullest co-operation with any classes. Yours sincerely, John P. Braaksma, 2A-Civil
Dear Sir: ’ The Administration has chosen to award academic prowess with monetary awards, a dinner, and possibly a unique blazer crest. I realize that encouragemen t of academic endeavours is very important, but I am disappointed that the Administration has failed .to encourage and honour achie-r vements iti other fields namely, extracurricular activities and athle’tics. 2A University is not only known by its scholars, but also by its teams,, campus organizations, student government publications, and participation in inter-university seminars. Student4 who ark interested wholeheartedly participate, in these fields,’ usually to the detriment of their academic average, receive no praise ,from the Administration, nor token reward for outstanding contributions. I feel that the Administration should support these fields by setting up a system of awards (pins, crests, or special school ties, for instance) to be awarded equally to o&standing ,contl”ibutors in academics, athletics, snd extracurricular activi;ies. , It is, interesting to note 20~ many companies intertiewing for co-operative enfineering assignments take bn interest in the student’s extracurricular activities and nterests. Howe&, we find t is characteristic for most ‘University Scholars” to be ion-contributing to these ields. If industry takes a strong interest in such acts, 1 believe that the AdminiItration also should, and ;hus award a broader segnent of the campus populace ‘or their outscariding con=, zib~hns c &he University.

0?Ques&rz of thti Week 7 Should addition
University ‘scholars have a distinguishing ’ to their crest? * *.* * * The suggestion that University scholars be given recognition for their scholastic achievements strikes me, very favourably. Th&e is recognition and acclaim accorded students in many Qther fields of Univefsity endeavour,>* i.e., athletics, school newspaper work, student government and the like but what should be the .focus of University endeavour, scholarship, seems to ’ go. unrecognized except possibly by the faculty and staff closely associated with students’ mark, exam results and term work. ’ Just how this scholastic achievement may be recognized, I don’t know but the, suggestion of a laurel wreath or some addition to the University crest which may be worn by undergraduates seems worthy of consideration. This would provide identification of scholarship if there was sufficiefit dissemination of information about this crest addition to readily identify its meaning. C. Totzke, Athletic Director . * * * * I must admit that I have no useful opinion to express concerning this Question of the Week. I feel sorry for the Editor, though, and shall do my best to fill part of that blank page. I have learned a very neat trick from students. Whtin asked a sticky question in class, they ask one, back (see last week’s Cartoon). With, considerable glee, I hurried to the Students’ Common Room to partially even the score by cornering some unfortunate wretch, and putting the Question to him. Unfortunately, the room was empty save for the Student Council Policeman. I pounced upon this individual, wdund up my tape recorder and popped the Question. He informed me coldly that the matter, had been settled fully in Student Council. This august body had decided (in November) that the University Scholars were already very distinguished, particularly in the Cafetepia, where they were the only Students able to afford to buy a full-course meal for lunch. The ‘. policeman then informed me that the Cbuncil meeting had been rudely interrupted at this point by a si?eaky end-play on ‘the part of the Engineers. Being in the majority, they rammed through a resolution that the Engineers shduld have two crests, one for Term A and one for Term B/My informant must have been a non-engineer, since at this point in his reply his face grew very red, he started to shout and became very incoherent., I was struck by the brilliance of this move on the part of the Engineers., Having more than passing acquaintance with them, I would like to make a suggestion concerning their new creits. i?or Term A, 1 sigge&t a’ crest of Lady Godiva, resta&t, holding grimly to a long pair of reins attached to a white horse, rampant, on a field, verdant. Motto: Censored (see Editor in private). The crest for Term B can be more conventional. ’ G. J. -Dufault, De@. E.E. *,I * * * q No. I feel that a university crest should be a unique ” symbol. It should denote only that the wearer is a student at a particular university. This tends to’unify the student body. If an addition is made to the crest to signify scholarship students, or for that matter, any group) of students who have excelled’ in some field, such as athletics, student government, etc., then the crest would lose &me of its unifying power. ‘Carl Hamacher, 4A Eng.

EVOLUTION OF THE BIOLOGYDEPARTMENT There has be&n created a notion that one can always recognize the scientist by the. sngle of his stooped shoulder’s or the thickness of his spectacle lenses, etc., etc. Refuting this description are the br:ght, your& ‘energetic (right down to the tips of their beards) members of the Biology department. Existing since the incep;ion of the Science Faculty, ;he department is gradually expanding and becoming es;ablish&d as a vehicle for ‘ulfilling the need for research bnd education in the field of Biology. At the head of the departnent ,is Dr. G. Power. Aside ‘rom his research for the Dept. of Fisheries, Qugbec, md with salmon ‘at Ungava, Dr. ,Power htis travelled to ;uch places as Barbados in ;he Caribbean collecting spe:imens for a teaching mus!um for the department. The nuseum will demonstrate specimens .of the various
types of animal life. (Menacingly guarding the door to Dr. Pdwer’s office is a stuffed bear). Handling the Bot’any& end ’ of the Department is Mr. H. R. N. Ey’dt. Mr. Eydt’s specialty is Paleobotany, the study of fossil forms of plant life. + Dr. l P. ,Morrison is the third member of the Biology faculty. His special interest is insect physiology and he is engaged in research on the effects diet has on reproduction of the housefly. 8 ’ Also part of the depart: ment are two graduate students working for their Master’s degrees. They are Mr.. ’ J. Gleave and Mr. G. M. Chippendale. In the fall of next year, an Honours course in Chemistry Biology will be introduced, \\ enabling the grkduate to obtain, a type “A” teaching certificate or continue postgraduate work in Blolg&y. l

Sod Turned for Renison

The Board of Governors of Renison College, resolved on the 29th of November to sign a contract with the Dunker Construction Co. of Kitchener for the building of the College at a figure of $315,000 - the lowest bid received. The Vice-Chancellor, the Rt. Rev. Harold F. G. Appleyard, M.C., D.D., Bishop of Georgina Bay, officiated at a sod-turning ceremony on the 7th of December, attended by members of the Board of Governors, representatives of the University of Waterloo, and St. Jerome’s College, and of the communities of Waterloo and Kitchener. In a statement to the I press, the acting principal of Renison College, Professor Wyn Rees, paid tribute to the Twin Cities. He said, “Few Communities in Canada can be responding as energetically as KitchenerWaterloo to the university “population explosion.” This sod-turning ceremony was the third, in as many weeks, on the University of Waterloo campus, where three separate building pro-

grams, valued at some two and a half million dollars are under way. “There is an / now urgent need of a residential college in this rapidly expanding university,” added Professor Rees, “and also for a church college which will interpret the eternal truths and basic values of our Pseudo-Christian culture with a sense of committment which appears to be disappearing from the teaching of many secular institutions. Whereas the science and engineering faculties in provincial universities retain a common sense of purpose, their colleagues in the arts faculties seem often to be confused and at odds with each other as they search for a meaning which would make the arts degree significantly relevant to life in this challenging new world of the ‘60’s.” The new building will consist of a central teachingadministration unit with two adjoining wings accommodating 40 men and 40 women students. The architect is Mr. Sherman W. Wright of Kitchener.

In Support of Canadian Preceding the National Ballet’s performance of ‘Gis3lle’ and ‘Concerto Barocco’, 1. was privileged to hear an informal address given by Celia Franca, Artistic Director of the Ballet, and to speak with her personally afterwards. The address was a fitting prelude to an excellent performance by the Company in both ‘Giselle’ and ‘Concerto Baroccor, and demonstrated the calibre of dancing Miss Franca has been able to obtain, despite acute, financially adverse conditions. During her forty-five minute address, Miss Franca traced the growth and development of ballet from its Italian beginnings to the importattion of Italian ballet masters by Louis XIV, and its subsequent development by Russia from the 17th century to the Revolution However, the most striking part of Miss Franca’s talk was her comparison of Canadian government support of the Ballet with that given other ballet companies throughout the world. The foYolowing figures were quot. i. National Ballet of Canada - government pays 16 To of operating costs. 2. Royal Ballet of England - government pays 4370 of operating costs. 3. Royal Swedish Ballet Stockholm - government pays 5770 of operating costs. 4. Royal Danish Ballet Copenhagen ~ government pays 7070 of operating costs. 5. Boslshoi Ballet -- USSR - government pays lOO70 of operating costs. Miss Franca pointed out that the Canadian Council has not been able to grant more money. simply because it does not have the money to grant. At the same time, Miss Franca hinted that the Canada Council has perhaps been trying to gently direct these artists, performers, or artistic ventures which it sponsors and which have received “bad” reviews in
Ballet
the past. Miss Franca stated that, if that is the case, perhaps we are better not to rely on government aid and used, as her example of what can happen under complete government subsidy, the condition (until recently) of ballet in the USSR. Until recently, ballet in Russia has been, in the words of Miss Franca, “old fashioned” and has been subjected to a quiet revolution since the Russian F;J;&k$ Ballet began touring Miss’ Franca seemed to view a 50-50 split between government subsidy and private support as the ideal arrangement and noted business and industry’s growing tendency to ever-increasing support of the Ballet and Canadian Arts in general. However, general reliance on “box office” tends to cramp progress, since a company must “stick with” the old stand-bys. Miss Franca’s address ended on the optimistic note that in the next five to ten years, we can expect to see a general improvement in the Ballet as a result of the National Ballet’s school. In reflecting on Miss Franta’s talk, I inevitably turn to her comparison of government subsidies of ballet companies. What does the figure of 16?& mean? Does our government have only a little more than l/3 of the money the British have available, for ballet subsidy? Do we have only a little more than l/3 the concern our British cousins have for ballet? Can our Naional Ballet get along with only a little more than l/3 the subsidy the Royal Ballet receives? This writer, at least, is certain that the answer is NO to each and all such questions. What then is the answer? “Indifference” and “apathy” explain nothing. Perhaps, as Miss Franca suggested, we are still rather “culturally young.” Doug Macintosh, Arts

Electron Microscope8 a 8 Research A National Council Grant of $34,000, which has been awarded to Professor F. W. Boswell, associate professor of ‘physics at the University of Waterloo, will enable the university to establish an electron microscope laboratory for research and teaching in -the physical sciences, Professor J. A. Cowan of the university’s physics department, said today following announcement of the grant from NRC at Ottawa. The microscope will be used in advanced research work to study the atomic structure of solids at magnifications up to one million times, said Professor Cowan. Although electron microscopes are in use at several Canadian universities in biological and medical research, the new laboratory which Professor Boswell will supervise will be unique in that it will be primarily devoted to physical research and the teaching of electron microscopy. to Professor According Boswell, the principle of an electron microscope is similar to that of a conventional
microscope except that electrons rather than light are used to form the image which allows a magnification which is 1,000 times greater than that of an ordinary microscope. The microscope will be the most modern and The Adult Education Depowerful available and will , partment will begin its third be installed as soon as delivery can be obtained, he series of Saturday morning refresher courses for high said. school teachers on Saturday, Among the research pro- January 13.

ENROLMENT INCREASING A total of 1172 daytime students are enrolled in academic courses at the University of Waterloo this fall, Registrar A. P. Gordon revealed yesterday in his annual report to the University Senate. He forecasts future student populations of 2,567 by 1965 and 5,023 by 1970. The university enrolled its first students in 1957. A breakdown of t,he enrolment shows 795 students in engineering, 209 in arts, ineluding St. Jerome’s and Renison college students, 126 in science and 42 taking graduate studies. The figures do not include summer students, adult education students, or freshmen engineering students who will enrol next month.
ADULT EDUCATION DEPARTivlENT REFRESHER COURSES‘\,
Italy, Kenya, Nigeria, Norway, Tanganyika, Uganda and the United States. The majority of the students are from Ontario, however, with one out of every four students from Waterloo County - 292 in all. Metro Toronto accounts for 223 students and 190 students are from the Niagara Peninsula area. Of the many religious denominations represented on the campus there are five major groups United Church (303), Roman Catholic (249), Anglican (169)) Lutheran (105) and Presbyterian (92).
Freshman students in arts entered the university this fall with an overall average of 70.1 per cent in the Ontario Grade 13 examinations. The average for science students was 72.5 per cent and for engineering students, 67.5 per cent.
Women students are outnumbered by men, 1095 to 77. This ratio is reduced to about 10 to 1 since 314 of the co-operative engineering students are away on industrial assignments this term. They will return in January, however, and at that time more than 400 of the engineers now on campus will go out to industry for three months.
The students hail from every province in Canada, except Alberta, and from 14 other countries including British West Indies, Germany, Ghana, Great Britain, Holland, Hong Kong, India,
The forecast of 5,023 students by 1970 is based on current academic programs only and includes 2,000 in engineering, 1,635 in arts, 968 in science and 420 in graduate studies.
The Saturday morning courses cover a lo-week period. The biology course is designed for Grade 9 and 10 levels since biology is now being taught at both levels. Few teachers, however, have had either Grade 13 or university courses in biology. The instructors are K. L. Wismer, formerly of Humberside Collegiate, Toronto; H. M. Lang, Kipling Collegiate Institute, Etobicoke, T. Boardman, Northview Hts. Collegiate Institute, North York and Professors Geoffrey Power, Ronald Eydt and P. E. Morrison, from the university faculty. Both Mr. Mismer and Mr. Lang are currently writing biology text books. The course on language laboratory technique and application will be in two sections with one group using French texts and the other using German texts. The classes will be held in the new language laboratory at the University of Waterloo. Professor J. W. Dyck and Professor H. S. Robertson will conduct the courses.

LIBRARY DISTRACTIONS 3.34:30 - Silence broken by examination of wallet photographs.
Dear Editor: I perused with interest the survey undertaken by two efficient young ladies concerning the relative distribution of their gender between the common room and library. However, I objected to the use of the library as a point of reference. Not to be undone, I conducted a minor survey of my own, the results being as follows :
3.47 - Quiet. ’ 3.47:lO - Same old story. 3.59 - They arose and went wherever girls go when they leave the room. At the table, an engineer heaved a sigh of relief and opened the book he had closed when the objects of my survey had begun their “t&e-&t&e.”
Nov. 23, 3.18 p.m. - two representatives of the distaff side of the local population flowed into the said library, seating themselves, by some dubious fate, at the table occupied by several engineers and by yours truly, trying to memorize some chemical equations. Thereafter was heard diligent, profuse whispering about such things as the weather, the opposite sex, and the intellectual complaint, “I have nothing to do.” (Author’s Note: What were you doing in the library, then?)
Now I realize that these two were not necessarily typical of the female population here. And I don’t want some bright individual to conduct a counter-survey of the males’ library habits. The relative behaviour of males and females is not my point. My point is that the library is NOT the place for burying old boy friends or advertising for new ones, for eating mid-day snacks, and for senseless laughing and talking. Surely, each person at the University is intelligently thoughtful enough not to interfere with the efforts of other trying to accomplish some work. So don’t give me that library: common room ratio routine.
3.22 - One of the pair left the table to converse (?) with someone at another table. (Author’s Note: Not content to disrupt the activities at one table, she had to sabotage another). Upon returning, the “happy wanderer” continued emitting disturbing noises, turning the pages of a book at an unnecessary volume, laughing and whispering (Author’s Note: And why did the Good Lord give women the dubious talent to emit those s-s-ssounds of pierc-c-c-cing s-ss-s’s?)
It’s quality, that counts.
not
P.S. There is a plaque on the library wall bearing the letters S - I - L - E - N - C - E Strangely enough, the letters are in that order. If a dictionary or a reading lesson are required, the librarian will be happy to supply either.
3.25 - Silence. 3.25:45 - end of silence. 3.26 - “Let’s eat our chocolate bars. “Continuous whispers until 3.34.

By G. Whiz Of late, my favourite recreational reading, Playbog, is being slammed as a shallow “girlie” type’magazine. I must protest people because in my opinion., the publication prints articles and stories which have real literary merit. Granted, there are a few pictures of beautiful girls in various stages of deshabillee but do not judge the magazine solely on this basis. Rise above your baser appetities chaps and read the thing rather than simply leer through it. * * * rk There are signs placed on the various bulletin boards around the school which represent the time and efforts of various people to inform you of the many functions which occur around these hallowed halls. There are a few billboard artists loose who seek to enhance these signs with their own immature scribblings. The psychologists would have a good handle for such tendencies but I would call it childish. Clmon fellows, grow up. * * * >* Soon Christmas vacation will be here and I will indulge in the practice of taking my young lady to dining and dancing spots which I can ill afford. I wish that the continental type waiters would appreciate the position of the student and crawl back into the woodwork. Such waiters have a long nose which can smell money - or the lack of it, a smile as phony as a three dollar bill and a built in sneer which they must reserve especially for students. It’s sort of class discrimination - in reverse already! * * * * You’ll never guess, but it was my dear friend and boon companion George Crabbe who made the profound observation that Christmas comes but once a year - so make the most of it. Merry Christmas and a pie-eyed New Year.

We are talking about our three Campus Guards, of whom Fred Cook is the best known to daytime students (often under the name of Cookie). Fred has been with us for over three years. “I was on night duty the first two years, and got to know the older students. Now I’m getting to know the younger.” Fred originally came from Toronto,‘-got married in Kitchener in 1935, and went back to Toronto where he was supervisor of a crew of appliance salesmen. From 1940 to ‘45, he served the army in England, Sicily and Italy, as Corporal in charge of the Transport Section at the No. 1 Canadian Repat. Camp. He got his discharge in December and was back in Kitchener by March. He was in real estate here for about six years. The odd impertinent remark that is thrown at him, Fred is able to take with an enviable calm. “If you tell them something, it’s because you’ve got to, and not because you want to. As long as they co-operate and don’t damage property or play around with University equipment, everything is okay.” When asked about trouble on the parking lots, Fred revealed one reason why most students are willing to co-operate with him. “We don’t like to tow cars away, because it costs the

students $6 or $7, and we know they don’t have a great deal of money.” He went on to tell of one boy who had parked three times without permission. Willing to give him one more chance, Fred put sticky paper on the windshields of the car, as a friendly warning. The boy took the hint and has never been any trouble since! “We have never had a student fight on our hands, or anything in that way. The only thing is, we have had signs here which have disappeared. If whoever is responsible would bring them back, we would appreciate it.” Fred is the supervisor for the other two guards: Ron Evans and John Shevkenek. Mr. Evans has been a guard at a reformatory and has a St. John First Aid Certificate. Mr. Shevkenek was a medical orderly in a hospital Operating Theatre. Their backgrounds have trained all three men to handle any trouble with cool efficiency. Mr. Michael Brookes, our Superintendent of Buildings and Grounds, said, “Good guards are extremely hard to find. Students don’t like to feel they are being watched over by policemen. The other extreme is to have just straight watchmen. Somewhere between the two there is a happy medium: men who Cont’d. on Page 6

‘DEAR VIRGINIA’ REVISITED Dear Editor: * I am an Arts student. Some of my little friends say there is no Santa Claus. Papa says, “If you see it in the Coryphaeus, it is so.” Please tell me the truth; is there a Santa Claus? Virginia, Arts II Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus. He exists as certainly as the Christmas decorations put up by the downtown Merchants’ Union to remind us it’s Time to Buy, and you know that they abound and give to our life its highest crass commercialism. Alas! how poor would be our merchants if there were no Santa Claus. They would be as poor as if there were no Virginias to get parents buying. There would be no childlike faith in advertisers, no consumers, no money, to make tolerable their existence. We should have no enjoyment, except in our balanced bank accounts. The eternal light of television with which advertisers fill the world would be extinguished. Not believe in Santa Claus! You might as well not believe in money! You might get your papa to hire men to watch in all the chimneys on Christmas Eve to catch Santa Claus, but even if they did not see Santa Claus coming down, what would that prove? You and I have seen him on billboards, in department stores and in the Santa Claus Parade (sponsored by our same kind merchants) . You may tear apart the baby’s rattle and see what makes the noise inside, but there is a lot of Christmas humbug covering the commercial world which not the strongest Papa, nor even the united strength of all the strongest Papas that ever lived, could tear aside that curtain and view the piles of money beyond. Is it all real? Ah, Virginia, in all this world there is nothing else real and abiding. No Santa Claus! Thank Commerce! he lives, and he lives forever. A thousand years from now, Virginia, nay, ten times ten thousand years from now, he will continue to make glad the heart of merchants. M & H Cities Service King & Dearborn Sts.

I found him in the Teddy Bear Department, firing a group of elves. It seems they had found out about ‘Labour Unions, and had been trying to introduce one into the factory. I watched him with awe and admiration. This was our great, jovial benefactor - the embodiment of everything magic and festive about Christmas! He set aside his time study, sheet and stop watch, and came over to where I stood. “And what do you want? A red shovel for Christmas, I suppose!” I was momentarily overcome that the spirit of charity had spoken to me, so I kept my eyes fastened on his stomach, while I reminded him of the interview the Coryphaeus had arranged with him. Instead of shaking like a bowl full of jelly, his belly remained ominously still. I quickly added that he had many fans on campus who were curious to know all the joys and wonderful exi citement of being Santa Claus - the world’s most beloved figure. His stomach heaved with a heavy sigh. “I can give you seven minutes. Shoot!” Dear fan, I wish I could tell you all that this great man - loved by children the world over - had to say. Unfortunately my pen could not keep pace with his tongue, so the following’is but a sample of his many opinions. On
his
phenomenal
popu-
larity: “The trouble is, when I first started out, I didn’t have an agent or business manager handling me, so I failed to get myself registered as a trade-mark. The result has been a lot of cheap imitations of me springing up all over the country: in department stores, on street corners, in parades, and even on television. I don’t get one cent in royalties from any of these frauds! You get a successful business going .for you, and everyone wants to cut in!” On his everywhere
recognised suit with love: “The
western governments are putting increasing pressure on me to change the colour of it - they’re afraid my political sympathies might take on the same hue. I live in such isolation out here at the Pole, that there’s no ‘danger I’d organize a party, or anything; they’re only worried because I have such tremendous influence on the young minds of the world. I would like to change it to black, though. People don’t keep their chimneys clean the way the used to when there were chimney-sweeps around, and my suit gets so dirty that even Comet can’t get it spotless!” On the new addition family: “Rudolph is
to his
getting far too big for his hooves. lately. H& been getting more publicity than me, so he’s beginning to think he runs the whole show. I just hope the batteries in his nose get discharged some night.” On his Christmas
Eve trips:
“Nobody will .give me insurance - who would on a sleigh that’s pulled through the air by subarctic deer? I don’t carry a spare runner in the back, I don’t have a belt, and I drive withI safety out a licence. Think what
Mrs. Claus goes through every Christmas Eve. If anything happened to me, she’d be left with no insurance and all those elves to support!” On people’s homes: “Not much to complain aboutthere - these new bungalows are much easier to land on. You should see some of the foul food that’s left out for me, though - as if I were some sort of garbage can! You’d think people would realize that on a cold, frosty night I’m only interested in some rum to warm me up. If I get a little tiddly, who cares? I’m not endangering traffic, and I don’t have a licence for the cops to suspend!” On Christmas trees: “These new synthetic trees are much harder to hang gifts on. Many’s the time one has collapsed completely on me.” On his little helpers: “Helpers! They’re more like hindrances! I help them. If it weren’t for me, their whole tribe would suffer chronic unemployment. Who else is going to hire an elf? On top of this, they’re getting a , little too smart. Yesterday they presented me with a petition for a fifteen-hour day instead of the nineteen, and today . . . well, you saw some of the labour problems I’m beset with.” On his business
in general:
“Talk about an insecure living! I’ve got tremendous upkeep costs to meet, yet I only get a 10% cutback on the toys I’m able to deliver. On his dealy
beloved
laugh:
“All this ‘Ho! ho!’ junk gets pretty tiresome. I wish I could slip in the occasional ‘He!‘, or even a ‘Ha!’ ” On the conduct of children: “It used to be so easy to keep records of all the kids in my files. They were either good or bad, and that was that. Since this new psychology has come in. I’ve had to order a whole new set of filing cabinets, for now a kid isn’t just Bad - he’s either Repressed, or Hostile, or Regressive, and I don’t know what all. The blame is being put on the parents, so that now it’s considered right for just about every kid to get a present. This puts a greatly increased drain on my budget.” On diets: “My agents tell . me if I lost any weight it would shatter my public image, so I’ve got to stick to a high-calorie diet. I’d love to taste some Metrecal . . . just once! However, such are Cont”d.

FOUR MONTH SYSTEMCont’d. It is amusing to note that it is only on this question that there was a signifikant difference in opinion between students now on campus and those now in industry! The reasons become very evident with the replies to the fourth question, below. 4. What features of the proposed four-month programme appear to be “most attractive”, “least attractive”. Of the students now on campus, 49% favoured the longer term, and the remainder found many diverse advantages, such as longer vacations, longer work period, fewer exams, reduced fees, fewer moves back and forth from industry, etc. 40% of the same group objected to the prospect of some study in the summer! (It should be noted that this group at present is on campus in fall and spring terms only.) Some 17% objected to the asymmetry in work periods in alternating- years, and possible offeets of this on income tax. (It has been determined that the possibility of increased incoke tax in the year in which two terms of-work fell could be offset by claiming two sets of university fees in the same year, leaving only one set of fee exemptions for the year in which only one term was worked.) Other objections to the proposed programme were diverse, and included observations that the vacation period would be too long, that work terms would be too long, and that students could not be on campus at the same time every year, etc. Of the students now in industry, 48% favoured the longer study terms, and, interestingly, 22% favoured a change in cycling that would permit everyone to have a chance to study and work during all seasons of the year. Other advantages were noted in the reduced travelling requirement, fewer exams, as above. Even more interesting was that 53% of those now in industry saw no objection to the proposed plan! Some 9% objected to the possibility of occasional double academic terms, and the rest were diverse including most of the secondary objections noted above, and as well some strong preferences for working in the spring and fall seasons,‘with associated study in winter and summer. 5. Preference for first work period: Campus
Industry
Total
65% 57yo 61y0-After only one term of study. 20 22 21 -After two terms of study. 15 21 18 -No preference. It is evident that a majority would favour commencing co-operative employment at the earliest possible time. If all those who indicated ‘(no preference” commenced the first work period after two terms of study, the pressure to secure balanced enrolments for continuous co-operative employment would oblige only about 10% of those indicating the other first preference to make a change. ” 6. (a) If required to take the first work assignment after only ONE TERM on campus: 970/, 99% 980/o-Would make no difference to decision to come to Waterloo. (b) If required to take the fifrst work assignment after ‘IWO TERMS on campus: 7la/, 83% 77aj,--Would make no difference to decision to come to Waterloo. 29 17 23 -Would deter fromcoming to Waterloo Having to take a first work assignment after only one term on campus would obviously cause no difficulty. Having to take the first work assignment after two terms on campus presents some difficulty because of financial problems, and some just because of objection to a full “year” of study at one time! It would appear not too difficult to accommodate those who felt they had to take the first work assignment after only one term on campus. 7. With respect to the division of freshman class at the end of the first term of study: The vast majority of students favoured allowing free choice as far as possible, and in the lack of balanced enrolment, the imposition then of some kind of random division. A few suggested other criteria, particularly an entirely random division, or division by academic standing. The results of the Questionnaire are helpful indeed, and tend to confirm some preconceived notions about student wishes. It is clearly evident that the proposed programme is attractive to a majority of our present student body, and as many students now enrolled observed, would be even more attractive to prospective students. A significant minority objected to the proposed change, apparently primarily because students now on the fall-spring arrangement might occasionally be obliged to have a summer on campus. (It should be noted that for those students already enrolled who would be affected by the indicated change, most would face only one summer on campus before graduating.) A. P. Gordon D. T. Wright

On children’s letters: “The Post Of&e keeps dumping sacks of fan mail on my doorstep. When am I supposed to get time to answer it all? Asking, asking! Everyone wants something from me! I’m getting sick and tired of it all!” He began to mutter angrily into his beard, so I took the opportunity to thank him for the interview. I was halfway to the door, ‘when a battery of photographers from Life magazine, brushed eagerly “by me and -clustered themselves around Santa. His face immediately broke into a mass of merry wrinkles, and his laugh filled the room with a resounding joy. As the flash bulbs began to pop, he waved a joyous red mitt after me, and called out gaily, “Peace on earth, goodwill toward men! Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good-night.”
Our Policemen Cont’d. are liked and respected by the students, who can exert a measure of control without necessarily causing any unpleasantness, and who don’t get upset by a little bit of ribbing. Fred Cook is an excellent .. .Iexample of just this type.” Although they will_ - soon be sworn in as special constables, our Guards have no formal connection with the Waterloo Police Force. Mr. Brookes said they have the full co-operation of the latter, “but there is always a reluctance on their part to get a student into real trouble. They usually tell me, ‘We have had a bit of trouble, but it’s alright now.” However if anything happens that really warrants action by the Administration, the name of the offending student is given to Mr. Brookes, who then hands it onto the responsible authority. “They should not be regarded as police, here to control the students. Their function is to control traffic and protect property.” All three guards have recently been outfitted *with uniforms. Fred said these make a big difference. “Before, when I’d ask someone if I could help them, they wouldn’t know who I was. I’d have to show my card.” Patrol duty can be a lonely job, but Fred’s warmth has attached many students and staff members to him. We are grateful to be so well protected.
