In a recent edition of Coryphaeus, some trite and ridiculous remarks were made concerning the ‘lack of interest’ of the Engineering Students during the election of the Student Council President. The Election Committee of the Student Council must carry the full blame for running the poorest election campaign which we have ever Most of us Engineers knew seen around this University. neither individual running for election. Why, then, was there not an open meeting held so that all Students could hear these two gentlemen speak? Where were the signs giving the location of the polling booths, and the times of voting? In the last Engineering Society elections 78% of the Engineers voted. Can any other faculty match that? I doubt it. In this election I predict that an even higher percentage will vote.

TOTAL FEES UNCHANGED The Student Union Building Fund fee assessed by ltudent Council since 1957 has been discontinued. Student :ouncil representatives passed a motion that puts into lffect immediately the cancellation of the $10.00 fee colected from each student at registration. The fund was started in 1957 for the purpose of raisng money to construct a student campus centre by 1967. Yhen the motion was passed five years ago the University ,s it then was, was associated with Waterloo ColIege and 10 great increase in enrollement could be forseen. The quarter million-dollars expected from the fund would have jeen adequate for a building to accomodate the needs of 1 he proposed student population. However, recent government figures indicate that by -967 there will be 6,000 undergraduate students on camp1s. A student union building of less than 1 l/4 to 1 314 nillion ‘dollars would be inadequate. It was realized by student Council that the present system of fund raising vould not even cover the architects fees for the required luilding and would certainly fall short of the 1 l/4 - 1 314 nillion dollars needed. The administration, realizing the need for a centre ‘or student activities has planned construction of such a centre around 1965. The money collected so far will remain in trust and ’ vi11 be used by the Student Council for a specific phase If the campus centre.(e.g. library or art work etc.) But before you start figuring the amount of extra beer ior next year it should be noted that the administration las found it necessary to raise tuition by $10.00. ThereIore the total fees for 1962-63 will remain unchanged.

SEEKACTIVITIES CO-ORDINATOR There is welcome news :n the fact that the university administration is inter viewing applicants for the position of student activi ties co-ordinator . This new position has been created in order to co. ordinate all phases of stu dent activities. It is believed that much stability among student organizations will result, as well as a general upsurge in interest. The new co-ordinator will also have a part in the de, velopment of the proposed student campus centre.

TME RlGHTt TO VOTE 4 On Thursday, May 17, ‘1962 (that’s today by the way), ; the Engineering students of this University will vote to 1 choose a President and 1st. Vice-President to head the t d Engineering Society. fz A ‘great deal has been said both for and against the lack of. pirticipation in many of the past elections. Gen. erally, the turnout is above the fifty per cent mark, but by no means is there one hundred per cent participation, as . there well should be. Many poeple complain tha.t they “did not know the candidates” or they “did not know where to vote” and, therefore did not vote in a particular election. These excuses are not worth the energy it takes ‘to utter them but they are a good indication of the thoughtless and lazy behaviour .of the poeple who use them. -.‘i: The mere,-fact that more than fifty per cent of the ‘I students have cast ballots in all past Engineering Society B 4 elections is enough to discount the above excuses as just . so much rubbish, As is usually the case in our society, those’among us who produce excuses instead of ballots on election day are the ones who would scream the loudest \ if the right to vote-were denied them. Unlike the federal .elections in Canada, we are fortunate ,here at the’ University in that we have a permanent list of voters that is always available for an election. Under our present system, this list is used as a check on the names and number of students. casting ballots. I do not believe; however,. that we are using this list to its full advantage. It is my firm contention that all students’who do not participate in one year’s election should I , ’ be denied the right to vote in the next year’s election, This policy would certainly bring forth many a hue and ‘cry *from those denied the right tovote but I strongly feel that ?. it would soon bring about full participation in all of our elections. ’ To those who are about to start uttering polished statements from some “bill of rights”, I would like to add that our “rights” are only what we make them and we make them only by voting. Today’s election has been well publicized and the ‘positions have been well campaigned for. There is no excuse for not casting a ballot. The polling stations and voting hours are on Page’ 1 of this paper. \ : If you have not already voted, I urge you to get ,out and do so NOW. Tomorrow you may regret what you -_ -did not do today.

the events leading’ up to snd culminating in the Sewer Bowl Caper,; 1962) Dawn came early on that fateful Saturday, May l2. As a matter of fact, it came as the sun rose. And this was the day that the Faculty of the University of Waterloo had been waiting and planning for since 1961. For months now the Faculty (and now it can be told) had been meeting, and talking and training and talking and having workouts, chalk talks, strategy sessions, and talking. May 12 was to be their day; they were not to be denied. And so, on Saturday, May 12 at 2 p.m., on the windswept fields just beyond the Stadium, a determined and obviously <well organized band of five Mathematikkers, two Mechanical and one Civil ’ Engineerikkers, appeared to do battle on behalf of The Faculty. And do battle they did. All their months of preparation were not in vain as they proceeded to methodically and unfeelingly crush the Opposition. And the way they did it was in itself spectacular. They defeated not merely 9 members .of The Opposition, but also a host of friends, reinforcements, not to mention an Opposition Umpire-inChief and also an Opposition field umpire calling them from the stands and wearing dark glasses - as’ if all this were not enough, the Faculty also’carried a member of the Opposition as ninth player. And the Faculty, grand sportsmen that they are, ,gave The Opposition eight innings and kvk;i-six outs in order that they might have ,a fighting But the result was still an overwhelming victory for the’Faculty,, 21 - 19, (some say 20 - 19). The score, of course, was no indication of the play. The Faculty led. 21 - 6 with one innings to play, but gave The Opposition an extra chance plus a few extra outs - they were ma&ificient! The tone of the game was set in the first inning when much on the back of their the Faculty eftecuted a smart doubleplay to quell a weak jeckets as possible.

Dr. Norman Z. Alcock, nuclear physicist and founder of the Canadian Peace Research Institute, will visit the City of Waterloo on Wed*nesday, May 23. Dr.. Alcock has been both criticised and praised for his program of research into a formula for peace. It is Dr. Alcock’s belief that because money is spent on a military program for preservation of peace, money should also be spent for research into means by which peace,. can be ascertained without violence.

After following Debbie Drake’s colum,n on 1physical fitness for many months I have decided that I need some exercise. Not that I want a shape like Debbie - -‘it would look a bit incongruous - - it’s just that I am deteriorating rapidly. I sit all day in lectures, I sit all night studying, and when working I have a desk job. ’ I realize that there are facilities for exercising on campus yet being lazy by nature I find it hard to work in a period of exercises in the evening. Therefore I would suggest that the administration institute a plan whereby it would be compulsory for each student to spend a regubr time in the gymnasium. As this would not add to the study load and could be integrated into the academic, schedule much benefit could be derived from this programme. M. ILF. ’

UPSURGE IN RESEARCH Cont’d. *

The softball season at Waterloo is now in full swing. The exhibition season got under way on May 7, with second year Mechanical defeating second year Civil 14 - 8 to emerge as this year’s exhibition schedule champions. The regular season was opened by the game between first year (sees. 3 and 4) and the fourth year team on Monday, May 14. The game between the second year rivals showed that the Mechanicals, although hampered by the umpire’s decisions (he was from 2B Civil), had the team to overcome all obstacles in the way of their victory. The Mechanicals struck for 2 runs in the bottom bf the first inning, but the Civils scored 4 runs in the third to take the lead. The Mechanicals came back gamely to recover the lead and to make the score 6 - 4. The bottom of the fourth inning saw the more powerful, well organized Mechanicals completely obliterate all hopes that the Civils had of victory. Scoring 8 runs they now had the game well in hand. In the top of the fifth inning, the Civils rallied for 4 runs, but their rally fell short and the Mechanicals again proved superior. SPORTS NOTES The above game was sparked by a brief tussle between one outraged Civil engineer (he was out) and the fine first baseman for the Mechanicals. The result was again in favour of the Mechanicals . . . . J. C. S.
