THOUGHTS
UPON GRADUATING
For most of us there is an inner feeling that the individual condition of each of us is tragic; as individuals we feel an isolation and separateness from the rest of the world. We are alone, our innermost problems seem unique and distinctive to us alone, we live alone, we die alone. Occasionally we manage to escape from this solitariness through love for someone, or through creative achievements; but mainly our life is a long lonely dark road. Religion may afford some relief from this terrible loneliness, I don’t know. But for’ most people, however effervescent they are, this sense of the tragic condition of each of them is part of the burden of their lives. Among Scientists and Engineers, even though they recognize this tragic condition of the individual, there has always been a refusal to accept what might be called the tragic condition of society in general. Each of us in an individual, each of us dies alone, this is inevitable and we cannot escape it: however one thing we can alter and change in our fate, one thing that is not inevitable, is the general condition of society. We are something less than ’ human if we do not struggle against it. For example, most of our fellow humans are underfed and die before their time. Blunty spoken, that is the social condition. Our insight into man’s individual loneliness tempts us to accept this social condition, and to let the rest of humanity go hungry. Engineers generally fall into this trap of complacency less than other people, though they are more inclined to be impatient to see if something can be done. ,And due to their training they are generally inclined to think that something can be done, unless it is proven otherwise. This attitude among the Engineers is real optimism, real hope for the future. For so far no one has ever proven that the majority of humanity must go hungry, must die before their time. This spirit, this’tough and good natured determination
to fight it out at the side of their brother men has always been a characteristic trait of a scientific education. This is the same spirit that built North America into what it is today, this same spirit can now build up the rest of the world. It is not sufficient to wait to be called as some member of an organization to help in the development of other countries; this should be an individual quest. What is a year or even two years from a lifetime, when it can have such an impact and be such a help to the lives of people in these undeveloped lands? It is no particular achievement to be sent as an Engineer to work on a development scheme of some branch plant in a foreign land. It is quite an achievement though to go as an individual with an Engineering training and bv vour own efforts help peo$e to help themselves. Then your success of failure depends upon your own character, your own ability, your own resourcefulness in meeting and solving the problems that are thrown at you. Your reward is not dollars and cents, but in human lives. And your ability is that much greater because of your own increased confidence in yourself and your own resources. In a world that is becoming more and more one of the organization man, this is an opportunity to stand and prove yourself as an individual. For Waterloo graduates, this is an opportunity which cannot be matched by any other University in Canada. You graduate with pract&al experience behind you. Because of this you can make a significant contribution in some foreign field. Now is the time to investigate the opportunities and possibilities in this field, to see what needs, you can best fulfill. But as private individuals, not as part of some faceless bureaucracy, offer to help on your ,own in a foreign land. What is a year off your life, when it can mean the very lives of your fellow human beings? Theodore A. Rushton
THE MONOPOLISTS m m l
>
Lennoxville (CUP) Mighty McGill and Terrific Toronto must weep - Bishop’s Univesity has taken over the record for marathon monopoly. One ,hundred and fifty hours of playing was set by the dedicated monopolists. Held to promote World University Service’s weeklong
night,
the
Council discussed UNIONSDEFENDEDStudents’ the idea of an awards system,
SHARE campaign, the monopolothon ran non-stop for more than six full days. More than 100 different students took turns at the board during the endurance test. The game stopped after the university administration decided to re-invoke a regulation closin the common room at nig a t.
The writer of the article ?ntitled, “How Low a Union” should be more than pleased that, the efforts of “spiteful union bosses” notwithstanding, the “spirit of the whole aff air”was not sufficiently dampened to prevent the raising of $25,000 for the therapeutic swimming pool. If the writer thought that the “cause” of the union bosses was to deprive crippled children, his narrowmindedness is surpassed only by his ignorance. If the Union had relaxed its stand for the Crippled Children’s benefit, what’s to prevent the management of the Royal York from inviting every committee in the Province of Ontario to hold benefits in their hotel? Does the writer think that the management allows the holding of benefits at their hotel out of the goodness of their hearts? Outside of the publicity value involved, these “benefits” benefit the management as well as the intended beneficiaries. Let the writer ask himself this: Having travelled a great distance to pay $25 a plate for an evening banquet, what do these celebrities do after the banquet is over? Tear around Toronto looking for another hotel and cocktail bar when they’re already in a nice, warm, commodious hotel? Does the writer think the money spent at the Royal York on hotel accommodations went to help the poor crippled children? Let the writer, with his ready capacity for sympathy, go to the Royal York one of these sub-zero evenings and take a look at the pickets marching outside. I don’t think he will see any “spiteful union bosses” standing over them cracking whips. When the crippled children need a therapeutic swimming pool, people rise up to give generously of their time and money. Where is the symCont’d. on Page 4
whereby students would be recognized for their participation in student government and related activities. At this point, there arose the question, “What are #the boundaries of student government and related activities?” Rather than becoming entangled in an argument of such proportions, it was decided that an awards committee be set up. Nick Hathaway was appointed chairman of this committee, the members of which will be chosen at the discretion of said chairman. The details of this award system are not available at this ‘time but it is reasonably safe to assume that such awards will take the form of a gold pin with the school crest or some other appropriate token. This account may strike you as being rather vague, but the system itself is still in its very formative, hence very vague stages. What is becoming concrete however, is the fact that some people oppose the idea of awards while others are in favour of it. Some maintain that aw-
ards of this nature smack too much of the high school, and, that immature status symbols have no place in University. It has $1~0 been said that-the whole business of awards has been brought up- to satisfy the ego maniacs on campus. The other side has its views too: a system of awards will provide some tangible incentive for further participation in extra curricular activities and this in itself, if successful will fully justify an awards system, the award itself is a tangible proof of achievement and in this regard it is really no different than a scholarship or an athletic jacket. I am sure Nick Hathaway will welcome any constructive suggestions which will aid him and his committee in this difficult but worthwhile undertaking. The fruits of such a system will give you added direction in your leisure hours as well as providing you with enough incentive to weld this campus intosomething meaningful in the field of student government ’ and student activities. The system will foster competition and competition will foster excellence. G. W.

Themselves”
We in Canada pride ourselves in having no racial problems, no insurmountable sociological problems and everyone who is employed tends to regard his country as the gentile equivalent of the land of milk and honey. There are a few dissenters, probably unemployed malcontents, who are maintaining that the noble redman is getting a rather raw deal from the government. “We have taken away the Indians’ pride, we have made it difficult for him to follow his former way of life and we have relegated him to the place of a second class citizen. We have done all these things and in return we have not even offered something of value in their place.” We hope it is agreed that the preceding was an extremist’s view= We feel that the government extends a great deal of help to those Indians who want’ to be helped. Some Indians, whose standard of living appears to be much lower than the average white man’s standard, simply do not want to adjust to a new system and consequently, we regard them as just so many charity eases. The Indian saw this breeze coming for many years, but many, instead of trying to bend with it, stuck to the old ways and consequently, they broke. Obdurate pride is at the bottom of man’s greatest mistakes.

LITERARY MAGAZINE The Prometheus Club which has just been formed on campus is putting out a literary magazine. It will consist of poems, short stories, and plays. These will all be student works. If you have any contributions please given them to Leo Johnson or Sandra Sanders or leave them in the mail-box in. the Physics Building under the “J”.
Gentlemen, there are no material prizes in this little contest, rather, for your reward you obtain a feeling of aesthetic satisfaction - if you correctly match the legs to the names. In view of the various anatomical preferences these days, we should really have run at least another two of these contests, but our good taste, plus the modest refusal of the girls concerned make any further contest along these lines somewhat of an impossibility.
Don’t leave this to a few people. It’s up to everyone on campus to see that this magazine is a success. If you don’t write yourself get after those who do. Feb. 28 is the dead-line. Please hand in your literature.

Your editorial on “Illegal ‘arcotics and Society” inrested me and I felt I lould, as a student of Crim.ology, comment on it.

As for your reference to le death penalty or long rison terms being a deternt, to crime of this sort, I !fer you to Barnes and eeters in their text entitled, New Horizons in Crimin.Ogf ‘. I quote from the !xt, “Insistence upon a reressive philosophy is outladed.

name change?
i* * *’ * On the one hand, some people mix up the name of the University of Waterloo with that of Waterloo Lutheran University. On the other hand, across Canada everyone associates “Waterloo” with Co-operative Education. This association will be difficult to replace because of the impetus it received from free publicity due to the novelty of Co-operative ~Engineering and the administration’s fiery political strife. Also, we had our name before they had theirs, although this is a very poor argument. The disadvantages of a name change outweigh the advantages. We should remain the University of Waterloo. J. A. Kovaes * * * * Even though I do not like the idea of changing the name of our University I feel that a great deal of confusion does exist at this time between the names University of Waterloo and Waterloo University College and Waterloo Lutheran ,University. It has been suggested that the University of Waterloo has a tradition associated with its name. I disagree and say that since we have no tradition let us change our name now and give tradition a chance to grow without the present confusion that is associated with the name Waterloo. The Board of Governors of this University are fond of our ‘reputation, as well, since they in the main are responsible for its cultivation. This being the ease, it is best that they choose a suitable name now rather than in a few years. IThe confusion that reigns now will be multiplied many times iby then. The present confusion which would be derived ,from a name change would be temporary and once an iestablishment is made our tradition will grow unhindered by confusion. Herb Alexander, 4A’ Mech.

“The University of Waterloo” - “Waterloo University College” - Do you know the difference between these two names? Yes, because you attend one of these institutions. Whenever a name change is suggested for our university there are those who say, “Let’s keep our name. We know there is confusion now but in ten years OUR school will be much bigger than the other one in Waterloo and much more well-known.” But will it? After five years there are many people in the Twin Cities who still don’t realize there are two schools. How can we expect anyone who lives any distance from here to appreciate the true situation? Last week this paper, in taking a stand on the issue, stated, “From observation, we know that consensus on this campus, is, that the name of this University should not be changed.” To my knowledge a vote or an opinion poll has not been taken. Where does the paper get such definite knowledge concerning the opinion of this campus? What is in the name Waterloo that makes it so precious to keep? We are not interested in making the city of Waterloo famous but we do want to make our University known. Let’s give it a chance by giving it a distinctive name. I have two suggestions - Mackenzie King University or Laurel University. B. Koch

In the past two weeks there have been sporadic reports from the-Congo on the hero of Kongolo and other centres, British Major, Dick Lawson. Unarmed he has effected the rescue of various priests and nuns in peril from marauding Congolese soldiers. Had Lawson been of any nationalityother than British I would have doubted the story, but as it stands; I can readily picture him with his swagger stick, dictating to a group of savages who could easily have dispatched. him. Men like Lawson won an empire for’ Britain, and they lost it.

COUNCIL CRITICIZED AGAIN 8a
And again he denied with an oath, “I do not know the man.” And after awhile came unto him they that stood by, and said to Peter, “Surely thou also are one of them; for thg speech betraieth thee.” Then began he to curse and to swear, saying, “I know not the man.” And immediately the cock crew. And Peter remembered the word of, Jesus, “Before the cock crow, \ thou shalt deny me thrice.” And he went out and wept bitterly.” (Matt. xxvi : 58, 69-75). Peter’s speech betrayed him. Because of his manner of speech he was considered a follower of Christ. Speech or language is an integral part of culture. How often today are people considered Christians because of church attendance, particular habits or fluency in denominational vernacular? Are these things evidences of Christianity or of culture?/ In fact, Peter’s speech was a denial of Christ. “I know not the man.” It was this denial that caused Peter much personal contrition. This was theissue that had to be settled before his reinstatement by Christ. Peter had walked with Christ for three years. Had he really known the Master? ’ With Christ’s death Peter’s idol crumpled. Fishing nets, abandoned when Christ called for followers, were again cast into the Sea of Galilee. An old way of life resumed. Many today are like Peter. A way of life in the church is adopted.

TRUTHSEEKER vs. BOON I found Marybeth’s exposition of Roman Catholic Indulgences enlightening Few are the individuals who either have the time or the inclination to defend a personal conviction even when that zeal is not according to knowledge. , My poster has been replaced in the Physics Building and I politely suggest that she re-read it. The question I posed was “After death then what? heaven? hell? purgatory, which?” I plead that no man but “the man Christ Jesus” and for no sect but the first century sect “everywhere spoken against.” I maintained with scriptural references that dead people are’ reaZZydead, and that h0 such figment of the imagination like the immortal soul survives that death. When man dies “his breath. goeth, he returneth to his earth, in that very day his thoughts perish.” Fallible theologians with their inexhaustible learning and profound scholarship have entertained fanciful notions of souls leaving their material shells behind and departing to rejoice in heaven, roast in hell, or be purified in an intermediate location like purgatory or limbo. Bible teaching is a trumpet of no uncertain sound. “The living know they shall die, but the dead know not anything.” The Roman Catholic Church has not only sold indulgences to ’ the living, but for the. dead also! In fact it became an official document of that Church in 1476 under Sixtus the IV. It has been justified by the plea of “encouraging generous giving.” It is a fundamental scriptural precept that “none of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him.” The doctrine of souls surviving death and the consequent invention of places to put those souls reeks of - its Babylonish wine cup. Religious systems propagating this pagan orientalism in effect nullify the gospel hope. A bodily resurrection is never the only hope when an immortal soul survives death. “This I confess unto thee that after the matter which you call heresy, so worship I the God of my fathers, believing all things which are written in the law and the prophets.” The Truth Seeker, Ron W.

WARRIORS LOSETO WESTERNON FOULS Led by the effective outside shooting of guards Innocente and Williamson in the first half, the University of Western Ontario Mustangs fashioned a 65-51 win over our Warriors in London last Saturday night. The play in the opening minutes was indicative of the game’s outcome, as Western took an early lead and Ray Plamer was called for three personal fouls. Although the Warrior zone kept the Mustangs outside, Williamson and Innocente gunned from the outside, hitting on ten of their tries. The half-time score gave the Mustangs a 1’7 point edge, leading 40-23. The style of play changed in the second half as Coach Pugliese sent his quintet into a front court press and Mustang coach Metras countered by playing possessive ball. Although the Warriors, led by the alert checking of Dick Aldridge, managed to get within eight points of the Mustangs Griffin, the Mustang centre scuttled Waterloo’s hopes by sinking three quick baskets. These baskets along with the fouls called against Waterloo were all the Mustangs needed to win by fourteen points. That statistics show another story. Although Western got one more field goal, they sunk 17 out of 22 foul shots whereas the Warriors managed only 5 for 15.

JUDOTOURNAMENTS On Saturday, February 10, at ll.30 p.m., there will be an Intercollegiate Judo Tournament in the McMaster gymnasium. The University of Waterloo is entering their young, inexperienced team in the competition. This is the second time Waterloo will enter this newly formed club for competition. The first tournament was held at McMaster on January 27 with the Waterloo team getting defeated in the first match by the Ottawa Judo Club. Jurgen Geissel was undefeated in the junior division of the individual competition but because of a mix up by the officials, one of his wins was called a draw, disqualifying both fighters. Our team hopes to do better in the coming tournament because it is restricted to university teams only and the team hopes to have some support from the University. Bill Van Loon, Pre Eng 0
