RADIO CLUB HOSTS HAMS The U. of W. Amateur Radio Club held a special meeting last Friday. Eighty-five “hams” and interested men and women were present from as far away as Goderich and Toronto. Some amateurs with mobile stations in their cars were directed to the university by the school station, VE3UOW, Paul Hudson operating. Jim Essex, in charge of the university Engineering Workshop, gave a talk on the co-operative engineering plan at the university along with some interesting facts about the school. Illness prevented Slim Forrester from being present and Mr. Essex very ably filled the gap. Ross Carruthers, VE3CEA, gave an absorbing lecture on “Wave Propagation and Sun Spots.” A film on the discovery and basic operation of the transistor was also shown. Many door prizes donated by the leading companies and distributors in the electronics field were given away to a few fortunate people. Refreshments were served by the host club. Bob Peirce, VE3ELQ,

Mr,’ Keith R. . Hymmen, the assistant registrar at the U. or W., became Kitchener’s I mayor Eoi?a two year term last Monday. He won easily, defeating two other candidates for the mayorality” position. Mr; Hymmen .was mayor of Kitchener once before, when he assumed the, ‘office in mid-term of 1958 on the death of Dr. S, F. Leavine. This was, however, his first electoral victory to the mayor’s office. He had contested the mayorality race in 1958, but was defeated by the late mayor Mr. Joseph Meinzinger. Since entering municipal politics in 1956, Mr. Hymmen has alw’ays stood near or at the top of the aldermanic polls. In this election his opponents conceded early, Ald. Joseph Mattson at 9:10 p.m., and Aid, Michael Walters shortly after 10:00 p.m.

the Students’ Council sponsored their annua at the Seagram Gymnasium. Approximately 30( and staff paid $1.75 to attend and join in the singing which followed. All had an excellent time

It was strange*however, to note that not one single guest out side of the guest-speaker, Reverend J. D. Hall, was invited to share in the Christmas dinner. Money is spent here and there on this campus for many little things - and yet at the time of year when supposedly “Peace OI Earth and Good Will to All Men” reigns, the SC. could not ever see the need to make their supper truly a Christmas one by inviting guests to their supper. Guests 1 . . those who are too far away from their native coun tries or from their towns and cities across Canada. Those who wil not be able to join with their families to celebrate the Christmas

Part2 This campus has witnessed within the past few months a wild proliferation of clubs and organizations most or many of which have experienced little support and less interest. And it would appear from this writer’s viewpoint that the larger and wider the organization’s interests and responsibilities the smaller the student participation and support. Now while this article is not in any way to be considered an indictment of the general student, I have been motivated to write this article by the apparent lack of interest and support for the Student’s Council and NFCUS from which I shall draw my examples. I think you will find that, as I indicated in my first article, the average student is basically self-centered and his scale of values is just a little “out of whack.” The Students’ Council through its action (stimulated by a small core of interested students) on health services and insurance, student discipline, financial responsibility for vandalism, the student bookstore, a unified University of Waterloo jacket, student government awards, the Council’s constitution, and the continued protection of student rights and privileges, etc., has, I think, clearly indicated that it has the students’ interests at heart.

From various sources, but mainly ‘from this paper, I have bieced together information about the Students’ Council. They Lave spent: $390 for office furniture, $800 for hanorariums, $800 or the missing plaques for which. their responsibility is dubious, nore than $100 for a Polaroid camera about which little is known -but it is certainly not a necessity, and they propose $500 for a ast weekend next term. At the same time the S.C. denied: $100 to the Geography Zlub, $25 to the Liberal Club, $85 to the Debating Union, and ;50 to the French Club: Add it up Mr. Editor, the SC. has spent a minimum of $2,600 In themselves, the yearbook, the student paper, and riotous living; while they have denied the paltry sum of $260 to other organizaions on campus. Isn’t this out of proportion? Add to all this (if it isn’t enough already) that students can LOWcollect $1.00 per hour for work for the S.C. and other Societies ?) which probably includes that cute full time secretary in the tudent office. And at the same time, graduating students have to bay for their own pictures for their own yearbook which they 11~0have to pay for! It seems to me that some organization on campus ‘are turning nto paying propositions, while others remain grossly underfinanced. In my opinion the SC. should repeal the ridiculous high sum If $800 for honorariums and use this money to support some of he other floundering student organizations. With due respects in particular to Ruth Weir, editor of the IInagazine and Sid Black, editor of the paper, who according to Some of my friends are indispensable, I believe that the honor. a. lriums should take the form of plaques and trophies which are lastng momentoes and great care should be taken that they are not oo great since there are always some who are going to be forgotten, aISthere were this year. What do you think? Moe Van Leevwen, Electrical IIB.

. cTackets and Identity . In the Coryphaeus of Nov. 3Oth, Peter Hurlbut (Arts II) tated reasons why our University should have lettering on the jack of the new jackets. It was stated that outside the Twin Cities rea the University colours and crest are almost unknown. This I Lave also found to be very true, and since the great majority of our tudents are not from this area, to them a University jacket without ettering would not represent identification as a student of the Jniversity (except when in the Twin Cities area). As Doug Masntosh (Chairman of the Jacket Committee) stated, the reason stulents buy jackets is to be identified with their University. I also agree with Mr. Hurlbut that the lettering, “University of Waterloo” should be used. I am willing to pay extra to have this on ny jacket as I am quite sure that without it (if I were to buy a acket without it) the jacket would not be representative of this Jniversity when I am in my home district. I do not consider lettering to be cluttering, but rather a dist inct indentification. Other universities must not regard lettering as aI-hindrance to the neat appearance of a jacket. I know many students that agree with the view of Mr. Hurlbut more should express this view); and I believe it the duty of the ‘ackets Committee to satisfy the majority of the students. Even a lemocratic vote to decide this issue would not be out of order. Bob Fife, SC. I. l

By G. Whiz and the shoplifters are. busily getting into the swing of things. I have often wondered how a shoplifter felt, so last week I decided to begin my shoplifting career. I went to a large department store in Waterloo and began to pursue my new profession. The whole thing, was surprisingly easy and in about ten minutes I had about $4.50 worth of merchandise concealed on my person. I picked up another item worth 29 cents and approached the check out desk bearing that item in my hand. What began as a \ prank had now become quite serious as I fully realized just what I was doing. It was not fear which made me stop, as much as it was a sense of shame. Here I was, a university student stealing articles -which people far more needy than me should be stealing. Here it was, almost Christmas and I’ was’ taking from the large pockets of the poor and the needy. Christmas

Dr. T. H. &alter, Department of Political Science., speaking on Psychological Warfare, gave the. last lecture in the Persuasion and Propaganda series last Thursday. He is a graduate of the Universities of New Zealand and London and is the author of a book and several papers on propaganda and psychological warfare. ~66Psychological Warfare is propaganda tied in with the mili- tary, political and economic strategy and policy. It is based on the knowledge that the chances of military successare heightened by the demoralization of , the enemy,” he said. Dr. Qualter said the Allies saw the value of psychological warfare in the first World War. It was the German sociologists, however, who undertook extensive research into the. subject from which emerged the modem study of psychological warfare. The leaflet, various forms of

broadcasting, and terror tactics are the basic forms of “combat propaganda.” “In our age,” he said, “psychological warfare has assumed new dimensions. It has become a substitute for military action and the only form of warfare the great powers can afford to wage.” He said Russia had an advantage in the cold war in that the United States Congress, not seeing the value of psychological warfare, w,as slow in granting 1the, necessary funds to the Ad/ministration. Much .of this .initial 1disadvantage has been overcome,

As some of our readers may by now realize, ‘we receive at the Coryphaeus office, student newspapers from Iacross Canada in exchange for copies of our own. Last week, a copy of York University’s “Pro-Tern” reached us with this notation scribbled on the back, “Prey tell, what is a Coryphaeus?” On the assumption that they meant ‘@ray tell . . .” and were being friendly in their own sort of way, and not threatening, the following answer is supplied to them and to the vast majority of our readers, who don’t know, eitherA’ Coryphaeus is a #Greek leader. It seems that / Mt. Allison University’s recent Model U. N. has solved the Doukhobour problem. During a discussion of the Sino-Indian border war, the Canadian delegate suggested that the area in dispute be cleared of its present inhabitants and be populated with “a people so repugnant that no country would wish to lay claim to them.” He then offered to supply the Sons of Freedom. B.C. Premier Wacky Bennett has not commented on the suggestion. The politicians have been active at most Canadian Campii in recent weeks, with Model Parliaments holding the spotlight. Here are the results available to. date: Waterloo Lutheran University - Liberals, 18 ,seats; N.D.P. 17; Conservatives, 13; Social Credit, 3. University of Saskatchewan - Liberals, 43 % ; N.D.P., 30% ; Conservatives, 27 % . Loyola College, Montreal - Liberals, 32 seats; Conservatives, 6; N.D.P., 5; Independents, 5. University of Manitoba Liberals, 27 seats; Conservatives, 21; N.D.P., 8; Social Credit, 3; Communists, 1. The Conservative Party won at Regina College and at the University of Western Ontario. Unfortunately, a breakdown of the results is unavailable. McMaster Univ. votes today. Perhaps when the other parties get off the ground and challenge the campus Liberals, the University of Waterloo can have a Model Parliament, too. The administration of British Columbia’s Victoria College has dealt the student council there an unplayable hand:’ They turned down a council request to permit card playing in the cafeteria, and sugggested that “attending lectures and using the library” would be more profitable to the students. One Senior commented that although he had, on occasion attended lectures, he felt “that my time might have been better spent playing cards where at least some intellectual ‘challenge was being offered.” It sounds like a pretty rough deal all around. Meanwhile the probability seminars in the common’ room of our Physics Building are flourishing, . . A recent story in The Manitoban; student newspaper at the University of Manitoba, appologizes for not featuring “a front page picture of a buxom beauty in a brief bikini.” The story continues “Unfortunately it could not be included in the Manitoban because it would not reproduce. The Manitoban regrets that the printer is unable to handle this type of material. It would definitely increase circulation.” At the University of British Columbia, meanwhile, a fallout shelter contest is being run for the benefit of anyone who has ever wanted to lead a sheltered life with the girl of his choice. Contestants need only write in 25 words or less why they would like to participate. Thus far over 200 entries have been received. The girl chosen by the winner in his submission will be named Miss 50 Megaton Bombshell. . . . Speaking of sheltered lives, fans attending a recent Queen’sMcGill football game in Kingston were frisked as they entered the stadium. The action was taken after a flying quart bottle of beer struck and injured ,a woman in the parking lot prior to the game. All alcohol confiscated was destroyed. ,This _may_ sound --- pretty bad, but at least the approved Sunday movies in Kingston last Monday. . . .

The CORYPHAEUS,

ANALYSIS: The co-operative plan is one of the reasons that the University of Waterloo has the fastest growing engineering school in Canada. Industrial support and enthusiasm for co-operative education has helped make the U. of W. one of the top schools in North America. The co-operative plan, along with high academic standards, mean that Waterloo engineering students on graduation receive an average of 10% higher salaries than the graduates of other Canadian schools. Cooperative education provides and industry apparently agrees with this - students that are much more mature than the graduates of other engineering faculties. Co-operative education is new in Canada at Waterloo, although it is an old idea in the United States, and it is successful. No engineering stu-

Co-ordination dent has yet been forced to quit the U. of W. for financial reasons; there has not been a single eligible student left without a job since 195 8. This is the primary obligation of the Co-ordination Department, (officially the Department of Co-ordination and Placement) providing every student with a job so that he can earn money to help him pay his tuition at school. Co-ordination is a department of this university, and is not solely responsible for the placement of engineering students. They arrange jobs for all students and graduates, from all faculties. Co-ordination is <also responsible for ensuring that the course is more than an “earn as you learn” scheme; it is also their responsibility to work with companies to establish training programs which provide more meaningful work assignments.

of the Co-ordination

Nine professional engineers, each with industrial experience, are employed by the Coordination Department to act as liason between the university and industry. This is not merely vocational guidance: the co-ordinator is the individual responsible for the success of the unique feature of co-operative education - the employment of students in jobs that contribute to their education. He is also responsible for developing and maintaining good relations with the firms and organizations who employ students during their work terms. The co-ordinator holds orientation sessions with groups of students before they leave campus for their first work assignments, - interviews ^the students individually before he places them; and sees each of them when they return from a job. He keeps a cumulative file on each student. and is kept ‘mformed of the students progress. But the co-ordinator’s job is not only on the campus.

FRIDAY,

Department

The co-ordinator visits each employer at least once a term to talk with those who place and supervise his students. For the U. of W. this involves very extensive travel schedules during most of the year. In this manner the co-ordinator ensures that students are employed in ways that best . capitalize on their abilities. He ‘troubleshoots’ in situations where a student is not doing well. During these trips he also develops new opportunities for co-operative work assignments. Many schools in #other countries meet their high standards by only employing honors or senior students on the co-op plan. The U. of W. has the only program in North America which provides co-op work assignments for all engineering students, including the first year. This entirely new concept has created many new problems in the development of ‘the Waterloo Plan.”

Problems

Co-ordination is often faced with the situation of a company sending representatives to campus, yet only one or two students having indicated an interest in interviews with that company: On the other hand, there are students who only sign for interviews with one or two companies. In both cases co-ordination is forced to add students’ names to lists for interviews. In the first case to maintain the interest of a company in the co-operative plan: in the second place to provide a student with as much opportunity as possible in obtaining a job. In both cases they try to notify the student concerned, however, the final responsibility rests with the student for checking the lists for his interviews. The Co-ordination Department of the U. of W. is still in the process of perfecting a complete co-op plan, embracing all engineering students from their first year through to graduation, from the pass students to the honors students. This is the most ambitious scheme yet attempted in cooperative education; because of its very newness it is still being changed, revised, improved.

,

Because this school is still young, because the idea of co-operative education is still relatively new in Canada, it is important to satisfy employers and thus protect jobs for future students who hope to receive their education through this program. Wherever possible, the Co-ordination Department tries to-inform the student of the reason why he is being asked to accept a particular job (in cases where it is not one that he originally requested). However, with the rush of the old three month term, and the involvement of arranging approximately 1,500 student placements per year, slip-ups can occur and students are not always informed of the reasons behind the decisions. The new four month term will help eliminate most of these difficulties. However, no student is ‘forced’ to remain in a job that he doesn’t like. There is no guarantee given to companies that students must remain with a specific company while at school or after graduation (this is in complete contrast to some co’op plans). It is the responsibility of a company to persuade a student by upgraded and challenging assignments to stay with them if they wish to ~ retain him as an employee.

Problems

One of the hardest tasks is trying to balance out the number of jobs with the number of available students of the right academic level and engineering course. Due to the twice yearly ad: mission of new students in the past, those available for work assignments have been continually out of balance in alternating terms. Some companies have committed themselves to the cooperative plan on the basis that they will have a student for each and every term. In order to retain the interest of such companies a student may be requested to fill in a position with them for one or more work assignments. A few companies are slow in notifying the school of, their needs for the next work term. Co-ordination is meanwhile forced into the hurried programs of interviewing students, contacting companies to arrange their sending representatives to campus, posting notices for interviews with students and arranging the physical facilities required for these interviews. Then there are students who won’t make up their minds, who delay until the last possible moment, and who refuse to take work assignments outside of certain specific areas. (Some U. S. co-op schools transfer married students out of the co-op plan to a regular engineering course, due to their lack of mobility in accepting work assignments once they are married. In spite of this, the Co-ordination Department has tried to obtain work assignments for students as much possible according to the wishes of the individual student. In some cases this has not always been possible, or practical.

Salary

Rates

.As a matter of policy the Co-ordination Department does not set wage rates. Exceptions to this rule are made only when the salaries are obviously too low; then it is suggested to the companies that they raise their salaries to students. Where this is not done they are quietly dropped from the co-operative plan. Other than this they will only tell a company the average rate being paid to students in similar positions at other companies. From there the responsibility rests with the company and the student. Student salaries range from $62 per week on jobs with municipal engineering departments to $130 in mining. The average for all students last year was $72; however, this figure is weighted on the low side by the large numbers of freshmen students compared to the relatively small number of senior students. The Co-ordination Department cannot ‘baby’ students along, they must assume a certain level of responsibility and maturity in the students’ own actions for his own welfare. The onus of responsibility for a students’ welfare remains essentially with the individual student, not with the Co-ordination Department.

The World University Service Treasure Van opens its sale on the campus of the University of Waterloo in the Engineering Building on Monday, Dec. 10. The Van’s arrival here marks the tenth anniversary and the end of this year’s sale in Canada. It also marks the first visit to this campus! This year Treasure Van is offering many new and exotic handicrafts from 26 countries around the world. Shrwiken heads for the headless, wineskins from Spain for the spirit-loving Warrior fans, an acabus for slide-rule weary engineers, together with all the other fabulous items so popular on other Canadian campii. The other universities in Canada this year have been making record sales. Waterloo University College rose from $911 in 1961 to $1,147 this year; so lets try and get $2,000. “The world is more than just this town and country. This earth of ours is a sphere and turns, and, there are people on the other side. I want to go and see and bring glory to my country.”

The man who is supposed to have said this discovered America, showing that an open mind can help an age and the world. World University Service of Canada also helps to open new vistas of other cultures by bringing their handicrafts to Canada. This year India, Yugoslavia, Greece, Japan, Israel, Mexico, Malaya, and Peru are represented in the Treasure Van. The whole project started in 1952 when Mrs. Mulvany brought in a display of crafts from India. Each year more and more countries have been added and, when found unpopular, dropped. Mrs. Mulvany has built up an active trade with the participating countries, ordering from them directly. This project is not only devoted to making profits to support the WUSC programme (providing help to Canadian and Foreign students), but also to give Canadians an idea of the culture of our foreign students. The profits of Treasure Van do not go into the pockets of a few privileged, but help WUSC

to help students around the world. This is not done with hard cash but by gifts-in-kind stimulating the more lasting and binding policy of “self-help.” WUSC also established a Sickness and Accident Insurance, Student Loans, a Receiving Committee, and a Gifts-in-Kind Programme for for- ’ eign students in Canada, Overseas Food scholarships, X-ray apparatus, hostels, sanatoiiums, hospitals (especially in Japan), and mimeograph machines. The value of the latter, used mostly to reproduce- notes, can be understood when one learns that a ten dollar textbook in Canada sells for forty-five dollars in Indonesia. These examples demonstrate how WUSC, through projects such as Treasure Van and Share, giving a living meaning to our ideals of international mutual aid, and research in universities.
