Over 60 cars plus a number of motorcycles left parking lot A at minute intervals to navigate a tricky course, 93-mile cfoss-country three-quarters of which was unpaved. The route meandered in the direction of Elmira, cut across to Guelph and by devious lanes headed back to -ti aterloo. Winners were driver Mike Cleary and navigator Tom Staff who were assessed only 16 points for being 16 minutes late, and they will be presented with the Orr Motors trophy at a later date, Runners-up were Doug Barrow and John Langstone. At one stage on route, the competitors were asked to write a letter to a mailbox owner telling him how much they liked the box. The letters

were varied and humorous.W. Muir commented that he “had never before seen such a beautiful mail I box” and G, Gaber considered it” an honor and a privilege” to place his letter in it. Drivers and navigators alike were subjected to unusual hazards. One driver was threatened by a large dog which intended to jumpintohis car. A group of children sitting on a fence were seen directing drivers down the wrong turn. In the motorcycle section the 12 bicycles entered all finished the course, and then were subjected to an intensive obstacle course at Bridgeport Speedway. Nine cars failed to complete the route for various reasons. Rally organizer Brian Iler was unfortunately unavilable for comment, as he is recovering from a bad caseof licorice poisoning.

Stewart Saxe, second-year arts, associate editor of the Coryphaeus, has been appointed external vicepresident of the Student United Nadons Association in Canada and will represent Canada at aninternational meeting to be held in Israel later this month. Mr. Saxe recently returned from the annual national meeting of SUNAC inottawa at which he received his new position and also from New York where he attendedtheannual meeting of the American Collegiate Council for the UnitedNations as Canada’s observer. The Israel ‘meeting is the annual meeting of the International Student Movement for the UnitedlNations of which SUNAC is a member along with student UN groups fromover 25 other countries.

Engineering is the senior faculty at U of W. It was launched in 1957 as the first cooperative education program in Canada and last year reached an enrollment of more than 1,800 graduate and undergraduate students. Dr. Wright, 39, joined the univerw sity in 1958 and was named dean of engineering in 1959, He was at that time Canada’s youngest engineering dean. He will begin a year’s leave of’ absence this month and will conduct research on structural engineering at the University of Mexico. He will return to Waterloo next year and resume his career in teaching and research. “swuding on the solid foundadon established by Dr. Wright will be a challenging task,” said Dr. Sherbourne* the new dean. “‘Our faculty has concentrated its efforts on attaining a size which would allow the development of a variety of programs simultaneously. Our efforts in the next five years must be directed to consolidating these programs and relating new developments to our present areas of strength.‘* Dr. Sherbourne, 36, was born in Bombay, India, but spent his youth in England.

speaker ignores hodesian query

The sudden influx of young ladies (along with a few young men) on campus was a product of the fourth annual United Nations Seminar being held here this week. The 142 highschool students are representing 54 nations in UN General Assembly and committee sessions. Between sessions they hear speakers on topics of interest to them and take part in a number of planned and unplanned social activitieS. The general themeof this year’s meeting is ?The price of peace”. Topics for debate and resolutiions are the Vietnam war, the control of nuclear arms, the Rhodesian problem and world population and food problems. One interesting deviation from the UN was created when the seminar administration slipped and allowed Rhodesia three delegates. A guest speaker from the British Information Services was,however, quick to spot the error and refused to answer a question directed tohim by one of the illegitimate delegates. The last session of the General Assembly takes place today and will

be followed by a ball tonight. Tomorrow the delegates gather in evaluation meetings and then finish off with a picnic lunch. Students of U of W are invited to view this afternoon’s session but other activities are open only tothe delegates. Among the speakers who addressed the seminar wereRomeo Maione, director of international affairs for the Canadian Labor Congress3 Gay Kroeger of the UN division of the

A previously announced anonymous donation of $25,000 to the Minota Hagey Memorial Fund at the university has been doubled, Subscriptions to the fund, which willbe used to build a women’s residence ,in memory of the latewifeof President J. G, Hagey, now total$75,677. The mafor gift of $50,000, which matches the fund’s initial objective, has been made by Mrs. A. R. Kaufman of Kitchener e Mrs, Kaufman is the wife of retired induserialist A. R. Kaufman, who is a member of the university’s board of governors. “Mrs. Hagey was one of the out=standing women of our communky and I am pleased to play a part in honoring her contribution to the growth of Ms young and vigorous university,” said Mrs, Kaufman, “This gift is also in recognition of the personal sacrtikes ehae her husband, Dr, Hagey, has made in serving the universi~~~ as fts first presidene and in developing the university to its present high level of achievemen~,‘s Mrs. Kaufman further stated. “I have increased the originally announced donation so that the university can build a residence of up to 75 beds in keeping with the increasing numbers of women whoare now attending university and also going on to graduate studies,” she said, The Minota Hagey Residence project was announced lask fall follow-

ing the death of Mrs. Hagey, A COITUII&~~ headed by Prof.Dorothea Walter p dean of women, organ&d an appeal for $50,000 to faculty, staff, students, alumni and the Kitchener-Waterloo community. It was estimated that the residence, for 50 graduates and senior undergraduate women, would cost $350,000, of that amount $50,000 is required in gifts in order that the university may qualify for provinctil government grants and Central Mortgage and Housing Corporation loans for the balance. When the $25,000 anonymous gift was first announced it was on the condition that at: least the same amount would be subscribed from other sources, Thesegifts now total well over $25,000 and it was with this information that the gift was increased to $50,000, I Dr. T. L, Batke, the university’s academic vice-president, has been appointed chairman of a committee to prepare a residence brief for the architects, ‘The entire university communiOy is grateful to Mrs. Kaufman for her interest in this project,” said Dr, Batke. ‘%er generosity and that of the many people who have subscribed to the Minota Hagey Memorial Fund will permit LLS to plan a building which will reflect the contemporary needs of women in higher education,”

A two-week training course in computer science offered by the university was attended by 75 Ontario highschool teachers, Mathematics teachers from as far away as FortWilliam,Windsor, ’ and Kingston, participated in aseries of lectures and problem periods designed to equip them for teaching compueer science in the Nghschools, “Since experimental courses in computer science will be taught at several Ontario highschools in the fall, we felt that some guidancewas necessary,” said Paul Dirksen, course coordinator. “To this end, the computer science and math departments of the university decided to offer tis course.*’ The teachers received letiures on

programming and computer languages, and were referred to useful material for use in the classroom. They also gained practical experience in solving typical highschool math problems on the university’s compueer s B

Belgium The Belgian bishops’ conference has announced its decisions on the future of the Catholic university at Louvain. Despite prssure from Flemish militants, the bishops decided against splitting the university and transferring the department of French language and literature to Wallonia. The bishops want to create institutions where Flemish and Wallonian students can meet in dialogue. The church leaders emphasize that they represent the chief authority in the university and that their decisions settle the issue, (Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, Frankfurt Main) England In November lastyear theNational Union of Students of England, Wales and Northern Ireland (NUSEWNI) at its councilmeetingin Margate decided to end its affiliation with the International Student Conference (IX, Leiden), and remain independent both of the ISC and of the Prague-based International Union ’ of Students (IUS).

To the editor: It was only recently that I came into possession of the Coryphaeus editorial of May 13, “‘Off to a bad and Mr. Sheppard% reply. start,” I feel there are yet more facts to be set straight. As Mr. Sheppard points out, the argument against the appointment of six artsmen to the executive is ridiculous. The editorial board seems to fail to realize that these positions demand experience, devotion and, above all, time. To say that the president should have been out hunting up people for these positions is inane, (Mr. Sheppard was only seeking candidates for the regular Council election because until a few hour-s before nominations closed there were not even enough interested people in engineering or SC& ence to fill those seats by acclamation.) Anyone who did not have the interest to apply when the executive positions were advertised would hardly have the ambition to handle an executive post well. As well, at least four of the e%ec posts, the four board chairmen, require constant attention that can only be achieved by the chairman’s

two-thirds majority to reverse the previous decision and to apply for full membership of the ISC. The decision, regarded by many as a defeat for the extreme left-wing elements in the union, was greeted with relief by most delegates. Ghana The National Union of Ghana Students @JUGS) reportedly has been revived by the country’s students to replace the Ghana NationalStudents Organizadon (GHANASO) which ceased to exist following the overthrow of President Nkrumah. Mr. Emmanuel Keddey, the provisional national president of NUGS recalled that the union, which had a long tradition of representing the students of Ghana, had been effectively initirnidated in early 1964 by the arrest or detentionof many of its officers. It was shortly after this, he said, that ex-PresidentNkrumah had imposedGHANAS0 upon the students of the country, G,BANASOhad been in effect the student wing of Nkrumah’s now-banned Convention People’s Party. Since the coup of the Feb. 24, consultations between the students representative councils of all the universities in Ghana had resulted

being on campus or working locally. This is unfortunate for some students, but it is one of the prices they pay for the co-op system. It must also be pointedoutthatall exec positions were approved unanimously by Council - including,engineering and science reps. The insinuation that I rode into office on Mr. Sheppard% coattails I find personally insulting. I actively campaigned for Mike becatie I considered him the better candidate, and I am convinced he will doan exm cellent job, It was my intention to apply for an exec post regardless of the presidential outcome, contingent of course on my own re-election in arts. The editorial also suggests that since science students have no SOciety at present, their views will not be represented. However for over a year Council has been operating under a constitutionin which students are represented by faculties and not through faculty societies, I would respectfully urge the Coryahaeus to get all the facts straight before offering criticism. To paraphrase your editorial, “If this is any indication of what we can expect from our new editors in the coming months, then it? going to be a long, hard year.*’ Steve Ireland, arts 3 vice-president, Federation of Students.

Italy A two-day university strike throughout Italy took place at the beginning of May in response to rioting in Rome byneo-Fasciststudent groups. During student body elections there, a Socialist student, Paolo Rossit died in fighting be, tween neo-Fascist and anti-Fascist groups.

Nevertheless, around 60 police officers appeared on the scene on the very first day, April 18, armed with pistols and truncheons. They occupied the campus and checked students’ identity papers, whereupon conflict broke out for the first time.

Spain The University of Barcelona was closed indeftilitely by the Spanish authorities on April 28. Immediate cause for themeasure was a program organized by the “Free Association of Students” under the heading “University renewal week”. Lectures and discussions were scheduled on the history of the university; teaching, research and general studies; social and economic problems at the university,and eventual possibilities of a democratic alternative to the present government. Attendance at the event was very heavy, although university authorities had refused the students per-

Groups of students then marched into the city to demonstrate for their freedom. There, too, they were dispersed by police. New conflict broke out each subsequent day, with thepolice repeatedly breaking up the student meetings and making numerous arrests. In the end the authorities saw no alternative but to close the university “until further notice”. (VSS/UNES, Berne)

f Six thousand students can carry a lot of diseases. Within the closed area of the university, contagious sicknesses could be passed on with alarming rapidity. However the administration does not require compulsory health examinations before admitting most students-a situation mirrored by most Canadian and American campuses. We strongly urge that a program of compulsory examination be implemented for fall registration. Students should be required to file a doctor’s report of an examination with the registrar’s office on a form provided by the university. corn-

ntion

pleted forms would then be forwarded to Health Services where they would be kept strjctly confidential. This method would allow the students to take the examination at a time convenient to themselves. If our university along with all the others fails to do this, someday all to soon we shall probab1.y see an epidemic of tuberculosis or some other tradgic sickness jar them to thej r senses. The government and the press will ask how it happened and the administrations will promise to do something about it right away. Why wait?

S A philosophy who has been active in an alcohol abstinence association says it is unfortunate that the only people who have demonstrated a responsibility for public moderation in drinking have been the abstainers. Their programs have not been effective because they are too negative “and man isn’t made for negad tive things ,*$ said Prof. Jean-Louis Allard of the University of Ottawa. Prof. Allard is a past vice-presil dent and former research adviser of Lacordaife, a F ren&Canadian abstinence association. He was a speaker last week atthe annual summer course on addiction given on campus by the Addiction Research Foundation, an Ontario government agency. In contrast to the scientific speakers that dominated the program for more than a week, outlining the extent, nature and unanswered questions of alcoholism, Prof. Allard took a philosophical approach to sobriety for responsibile citizens. He said sobriety (controlled, moderate drinking or abstinence) is a moral virtue. “‘But it is not enough to practice sobriety. We must feel responsible for the sobriety of thepeople around us and in the world.” And this could only be done through positive aims of creating a climate of sobriety and participating in education toward it. In an interview with the K-W Record, Prof.Allard saidthefailure of people to become involved in a public responsibility toward the use of alcohol is part of the ?mind your feeling prevalent own business*’ today in all phases of life. Advanced technology, material abundance and increased urbanization have contributed to this lack of participation and non-involvement. ‘We are in a society where people If we want a real are too passive, more persons have to democracy, There must be more get involved. personalization, and distribution of responsibility to more and more persons. A person is not a responsible citizen unless he assumes responsibility.” Stressing the futility of campaigns against drinking, Prof. Allard said he feels the best approach is that of Bishop Fulton Sheen: Alcoholism cannot be driven out; it must be crowded out. *a* All alcoholics have two basic problems which are religious problems, Dr. Paul Christie, a psychia-

tris t at theDntario Hospital, Toronto, told a later meeting. He said alcoholics of all types have a. problem of identity and a problem of meaning and purpose and value, “These are basically religious problems. They are not just sexual or social or family although these factors all come in. “The major religions have always concerned themselves with these problems. “People come to use alcohol essentially as an attempt to solve their religious problems .” The religious practitioner is the only one equipped to deal withthese two religious problems of identity and meaning at their deepest level, he said, “Medical people must realize these problems have to be takeninto account and realize they are not equipped to go the whole way with the client, that nothing but the religious function can. “The client may not admit his problems are religious but they are. “I ask that these be seen as a primary area of concern,” saidDr. Christie. Religious practitioners are extremely eager to be involved, but there is a two-fold problem, he said. “There is still insufficient attention paid to human development and human problem behavior in the basic education in seminaries and the field work of clergy,

A proposal has been put forward to limit card playing in the future to the annex 2 cafeteria where part of the available space would be refurnished with suitable loungefurnr iture. Mr, Paul Gerster,administrative assistant to Student Council,pointed out in a memorandum to Dr. W .G. Scott, provost for student affairs that card-playing occurs in many areas. This new proposal would inconvenience arts and sciences tur dents more than engineers as they are further removed from the cafeteria, he said.
