The Great Train Robbery was reenacted this week by a group of Uof W students, but the police were waiting. o’clock At three Wednesday morning, several kampus kops sat and watched as about a dozen students began to push a 600ton bax-car along the CN railway tracks and across University Avenue. They had been tipped off by a similar attempt a few hours earlier. Many of the students were from the Co-op residence. The boxcar was partially loaded with steel culverts and had been

Each department apprehended one student. Richard Mocarski, math lB, and Russell Chaplin, engineering lB, both from the Co-op residence, have been charged by Waterloo police in connection with the incident. They are expected to appear in court July 4. Charges have beenlaid under secdon 372 (b) of the Criminal Code, which deals with renderingproperty dangerous.

Wdd,ng~ bells rang again last F riday for university president J.G. Hagey . Well, almost. There was no fanfare at all--no bells, no horns, no tin cans-becausenobody knew about it. YOU might say he eloped. President Hagey, whose wife Minota died almost two years ago, had attended several recent social functions--including the Grad Ball-with Mrs. Eleanor F. Duff of Hamilton. The Duff and the Hagey fmilies had beenfriends for many years before Mr. Duff died. The Hageys were originally from Hamilton, University members had been expetting the president to announce a date at any time. But it came aS a complete surprise when they announced it in the past tense. The president had been on vacation since June 1 on his doctor’s advice in order to rest his voice. “I was kidding him that what he needed before he could takethedoctar’s advice was some romance,”

said operations vice-president AT Adlington. ‘He po0hyaohed the idea. So you can imagine how SUTM prised I was.” Doctors have said the president can expect complete recovery ofhis voice if he gives it a month’s rest, Adlington said. “‘He finally had to agree this could never happesl till he stayed out of the office.” Otherwise he could lose his voice entirely , althou@ there has been no recurrence of malignancy. His overall health is excellent, Adlington said, Mary Busbridge, the president% seCretary, said, “It was not a sudden decision, to marry. But I guess they advanced the date.” Mrs. Busbridge had expected an autumnwedding. The private ceremony was held at Melrose United Church chapel in Hamilton Friday afternoon. None of the family attended. They will live at the president’s house, 637 Westmount Road, Kitchener , when they return from a motor trip to thewest coast.

Peters, 46, a member of the psychology department, has been named acting dean. Dr, William 3; Villaume, president of WUC resigned June 1. He said he wanted to freetheuniversity from prior commitments in order to take whatever courseit feels best. This was only four days before the Ontario government announced a change in policy, allowing grants to WLU as a church-affiliated university. Villaume’s vice-president, Dr. Henry Endress, was named acting president. “I’m pin&hitting,” said Dr. Peters, the acting dean. “Thenewdean will be chosen when the new president comes in. This may be five months, it may be three months-certainly not more than a year.” Peters said he wants to return to teaching, but agreed to serve as dean in the interim. Asked if he thought the changes in leadership at WLU would mean friendlier relations with the U uf W , Peters said, “The direction this

This& part of theBoo Allen report.” Booz, Allen and HamAton, a Chicago managementconsultant firm, has been commissioned by the WLU board of governors to study the university’s operations. “Dr. I-Iagey (U of W president) was my president at one time,” Peters went on. Peters taught at Waterloo in 1948-52 while Hagey was president of Waterloo College. “We’ve always had a very fine relationship.

Anofher Reformation It looks as if W aterlootheran is becoming W atermennonite. Dr. Frank C. Peters, the new named acting dean of Waterloo University College, thearts and science faculty, is pastor of the Mennonite Brethren Church in Kitchener. (The MBs are the second-largest branch of the Anabaptist-Mennonite. Henry H. Dueck,registraratWLU for just Over a year, is assistant pastor at the same church. Lutheran’s business manager, Miss Tanra Giesbrecht, is also Mennonite. And while we’re on the subject, U of W president J.G. Hagey comes from Mennonite stock too. His father was Mennon Sirnons Hagey-and that’s about as Mennonite as youcan get.

I tmght his boy in one psych course.” Peters described his duties as academic advisor to the president and overseeing the academic program of WLU undergraduates. WLU has another dean for graduate studies. Dr. Peters’ wife, Me&a, is a student at WLU, alongwithtwosons, Edward and Gerald. His eldestson, Robert, graduated from the university last year. “In selecting the acting dean we consulted with Booz,AUenandHam&on,“’ Harry D. Greb, chairman of WLU’s board of governors, said. “The consultants gave a hearty endorsement to Dr. Peters.” Greb added that Dr. Peters was s&ctd due to his extensive profssioti training and experience, his scholarship and his effectiveness both as a faculty member and as an administrator. Dr. Endress, acting president, said there is every indication that the appointment of Dr. Peters will be popular with both faculty and students. “He is highly respected by his colleagues and has the affecdon of his students who know Iaim as a professor deeply concerned with their progress and development. Dr. Peters’ role as a teacher and church leader qualifies himsuperbly for academic leadership at a church-related university.‘*

Both candidates for president of Engineering Society A in Wednesday’s elections --Bob King and Jim Pike--arefrom the same class. King says he is running in this election because “I would like to lead the Engineering Society in a direction more dynamic, more progressive and of greater benefit to engineers in general.*’ He was the founding president of the Class of ‘69. Among his objectives he lists an engineering newspaper; more communication with other universities’

engineering societies, the registrar, coordination departmentand department heads; a greater percentage of student fees devoted to the Engineering Society. “I feel a need to infusenew blood, new and intense ideas into the Engineering Society,” King said. Pike, the other candidate&as been class rep on theEngineeringSociety for the past two years. He is president of the Class of ‘69,secretary of ASME and was chairman of Engineering Nite last week.

Bricklayers go out on strike, but agreenot to picket sites The U of W construction program has been hit by as trike--but no serious effects are expected for about two weeks. The strike was called for Monday by the Bricklayers, Plasterers and Masons International Union. It involves bricklayers in K-W, Guelph, Brantford and Hamilton. Wages form the main issue. Present wages are $3.45 an hour plus 4 percent holiday pay. Union demands amount to an increase of about $1.50 an hour over two years, The Contractors * Association has

The strike will not affect the foodservices building where bricklaying is nearing completion. The campus center and physical-education complex, however, could be seriously affected.

In case anyone is interested in learning the game, here’s a general outline: Definitions: Frullip--a pingpong pritz--a pingpong ball; paddle: squamish pot--a cup; flutney-Pingpong table. RULES OF THE GAME 1. The official must be the same size as a standard pingpong table. 2. The pots are placed on the center line, two f&lip lengths from either end of the flutney. 3. Rules for str&ing tie pritz with the frullip are the same as in pingpong, with the exception that a pritz may be struck before bouncing on the flutney if it has passed the pot d. Scoring: --Go&ending (two points for opponent)--Striking the pritz before it has either struck theflutney or passed one’s own pot. b- Potrzebie (five points)--Sink the pritz in the opponent’s pot. --Snivel (ten points)--An Arthur which rebounds for a potrzebie in one’s own pot. 5. Conduct: Squ.amish* being a game for the gentleman, has many rules for conduct which are strictly enforced. A few: --Before play beings, the cha& enger salutes the challengee with the wise old French proverb, ‘“Man oncle est malade, mais le grand chernin est vert,” meaning “My UII& is sick, but the highway is green.” --After points are scored, the scorer curtsies to his opponent.

Villagers Dave Bernert and Linda Hardy practice for the great waterfight to be held against the Co-op on July 8. The object of the game is to wash the paper dress of the damsel, who is protected by four stout yeomen with umbrellas. Another way to beat the heat this summer.

Martin editor.

People who recall Sir Laurence Olivfer’s ‘Richard III’ will be disappointed with the Stratford Festival’s presentation of the play. In his famous movie,Olivierportrayed a Machiavellian character of the greatest evil. Stratford’s Richard will never be remembered because Alan Bates simpers through the title role rather than taking it by storm. Bates’s appearance and manner are against him from the start. He resembles Anthony Newley too closely. He continually calls on Satan but one always has a sneaking suspicion that the prince of darkness would not wish to bother with such an insignificant doer of evil. At worst, Bates only looks naughty. He is far too sprightly a hunchback for mY liking. One of themos t dis turbing aspects of the performance came when the audience (largely composed of teenyboppers) laughed at many of Richard’s soliloquies. Bates has gone onrecordfavoring the view that Richard actually was a good king. Perhaps this is why, in this play, Richard seemingly committed suicide as if atoning for SiJLS,

almost see the nobility drip from him. His death scene is moving as he argues for his life. The women members of the cast deserve special mention. The role of women in this play is tragic and all the actresses wear grief well. Frances Hyland is magnificent as the doom-saying Queen Margaret. When Mis s HYland comes on the stage, she sweeps all before her. Almost as strong as Miss HYland is AM Firbank as Queen Elizabeth. Strongest of all the cast is Leo Ciceri as Buckingham, Rf*rd’s erstwhile comrade. With dignity and force in his every action, Ciceri manages still to convey the slyness and self-seeking qualities of the character he plays. The much-touted battle scene is well organized so that the actual battle does not interfere with the Play* The electronic music proved to be quite interesting, bY making evil hang in the air.

It seems director Michael Langham has decided that Gogol’s ‘the government inspector’ shall be played for laughs, and no other consid+ eradons shall be allowed to enter into the play. This approach, while it is valid, is not tlii only one the plot would permit. The Not is simple. The corrupt officials in a provincial Russian town in the 1830s hear there is a government inspector coming to the area. They seize upon the first stranger they are suspicisous of, a spendthrift clerk called Klilestakov, thfnking he is the government agent. The mayor puts the young man up in his house and the town offidals then proceed to hand over enormous bribes to him. Realizing that he has been mistaken for a high government official, Khlestakov takes advantage of the situation by the mayor’s wife and pursuing daughter, but our hero later skips town. With a plot line like that, a per=feet opportunity is afforded to make fun of the avaricious side of everyone. Instead of proceeding along the-se lines, the company sets out to get as many laughs as they can and they succeed in this.

The play is funny, but likes the sadness that separates good comedy from tragedy. The adoptionof British accents by the group does not aid the viewer in coming to grips with 19tb-century Russia. The characters come across as bumpkins and one fails to see them as base in character. This is probably best noticed in the last scene when the mayor realizes that everyone has been made fools of. In this speech, Tony Van Bridge is unable to reach the audience with a serious message because he has not tried to be serious throughout the play. William Hutt is superb as Khlestakov. He minces about the stageto capture the part easily. Tony Van Bridge also gives a masterful performance as themayor. The entire company seems to enjoy the play since their parts areall lively and amusing. I was verypleasedtoseeamodern play performed in the F es tival theater. Props remain at a minimum but with a company the size of Stratford’s one is able to build walls of living, moving color bY the correct use of people. A light play but ofhfghamusement value.

If you’re looking for a Stratford Festival play which you cansitdown and enjoy, this is the one. This is Shakespearean comedy at its bawdy best. Sir John Falstaff, Shakespeare’s only real character of comedy, is the central character. He first appeared as a secondary character in @Henry IV, part 1’. ‘Tis said that Queen Elizabeth asked for another play with the fat knight. As the play opens, Falstaff, poor, old and very pathetic, evolves aplan to enrich himself by seducing the wives of two of Windsor’s wealthy burghers. On receiving identical clumsy love letters, the middleaged women overcome their initial shock and decide revenge is necessary on the pompous degenerate. The main plot is provided by their subsequent merry game of clandestine meetings which turn into hectic nearcexposLSiXS. To provide continuity and a change of pace, there is a romantic subplot which is basically fairytale. it is resolved with the heroinemarrying her own choice and not her mother’s or father’s. Colorful characters aboundinFalstaff’s collection of cronies. The action picks up quickly in the last half to a late climax with almost no denouement. The end is most Shakespearean-it’s happy: the young romance finds success, all the major characters leamsomesort of lesson, and Falstaff after all the humiliation is somehow less pathetic than in the play’s beginning. Any play at the Stratford Festival is always very professional, and this no exception. Costuming and effects are excellent. The play itself is presented as anauthenticElizabeth= an setting. It is to be taken for face value--for even in the program, the director warns against searchingfor false critical trails. The playis as Shakespeareintended: it is brusque and that means the little old ladies in the audience are slow to overcome their inhibitions to enjoy the overall effect. The play was meant for the ribald masses of Shakespeare’s day and not for today’s highschool curriculum. Tony van Bridge turns in a faultless and almost moving performance as Falstaff. Excellent supporting jobs were done by all the cilst. Special plaudits- must go to Zoe Caldwell as one of the merry wives, Alan Bates as a jealous husband whose arrivals came at the worst. times for Falstaff, and to Jean Gascon, one of the unsuccessful suitors in the subplot.

The most strfking work inwoodfs Srictirn of hate* made from a pitted piece of driftwood. It is not possible to imagine how any more pain could be portrayed using only three dimensions. The most attractive work is ‘Loves me-loves me not’. This sleek, polished piece of workseems to flaunt its beauty. It is amazing how much beauty can come out of a piece of wood. The last work, ‘Do you hear’ is the only work that does not seem out of the ordinary. Even so,Dagys has managed to breath a feeling of age and wisdom into a block of wood. The gallery pture

Bernard Fall was killed in Vietnam on February 27. He was outon patrol with American marines, seeking source material for a proposed book on the Viet Cong. It now seems that this book must stand as the monument to thegreatest political writer that the wars in Indochina ever produced. Indeed it is a monumental book, both in size and scope and insight. But then the battle it describes, the battle of Dien Bien Phu, was monumental insofar as it was the first battle won by a native, colonial army against a large, well-supported imperialist force. In other words; it was the first major vietory of the countryside versus the tides . The battle of Dien Bien Phu is influencing events in Vietnam, 13 years after it ended. The Vietcong and their North Vietnamese auies are continually seeking to draw American forces in& posidons where they will be overextended, while the Americans use their airpower to prevent dias trous encirclements. This book then is the definidve history of a battle that may belooked back on by our children as the point where the tide turned. The French sought to establish, at Dien Bien Phu, an airhead which would serve as an anchor for guerrilla operations in northwest N.orth Vietnam. When this idea proved useless, the French decided that the base would serve as bait in a trap designed to chew up the Viet Minh military forces through the use of air power. The plan was ill-founded because the valley in which the French were

After that it was simply a case of grinding out a victory. The French lost local air support when the airfield came under direct enemy fire by a superior artillery force. The fortress should have fallen on March 30, but the Viet Minh aso sault troops took a wrong turn into a minefield, allowingaFrenchcounterattack. A trickle of supplies and volunteers were Darachuted in, enablinn the garrison to hold out until May 6-7. That was when the Viet Minh decided to take out the fortress (it hardly deserved that designation). The attack was launched to end the siege of fifty-six days and to give the Vietnamese a better bargaining position at Geneva. Over 2,000 French troops, ie. French, Legionaires, Algerians)

Johnson’sFolly:’a flop or an engineeringiniracle _ by John

Beamish

MONTREAL--It’s been called the Eiffel Tower of Expo, and it’s been called Johnson’s F 011~. It has been hailed as an engineering miracle and has been decried as a completeflop. But no matter what anyone thinks of it, the United States pavilion has been one of the most popular ever since the gates to the Exposition opened in late April. The pavilion, unlike any other in the fair, has been damned and praised, patted and panneil, but no one has walked away from it without off ering comment . Well, almost no one. President Johnson made a mini-tour, complete with his not-so-mini entourage of s ecr et-s ervice men, aides and protestors--and throughout he was as tightlipped as a statue on Mount Rushmore. As .an exhibit of a country where the pace of society is measuredhow fast a red stoplight changes toyellow to green and where growth is measured by the increase in the number of forms to be filled out in triplicate, it is heartening to see that not one piece of machinery has

Instead, the designers of the pavilion have concentrated on another aspect of life in the United States-and in ‘Man and his world’. They have chosen to show Man in his Leisure Time. Giant reproductions of famous movie stars of another era, instant replays of classic movie scenes and an example or two of the world’s greatest spectator sport--the space race--have, instead, provided the substance of the pavilion. Because of this, one critic has denounced it as the archetype of the society it is supposed to berepresentative of: a large bubblefilled with nothing more concrete than a number of towering snapshots which

could have been prepared by Kodak for a display in Grand Central Station--a pavilion where greater attention is directed towards Marlene Dietrich’s legs than to the theory of Charles Darwin, where people gape at a two-story portrait of Bogey instead of being exposed to the theories of educationist John Dewey.

The visual arts play a big part in Canada’s big show but its movie facilities are the products of a group of weirdo producers gone wild. The telephone pavilion, Labyrinthe and Cominco are good illustrations of my point. All three of the designers of these buildings decided that going to see a movie should be an Experience.

Instead, with great restraint, it has decided to show itself at ease, to show that even though thecountry is renowned for its technological advances, it is not so preoccupied with these advances that it has neglected to develop in other areas as well. After visiting the U.S. pavilion you can make your choice. It may not be either of these extremes, but you will see how the two views can

Will it be remembered as the Crystal Palace of Expo 67 or will it be remembered like thedrinkstand modeled after theorangedrink it sold at the New York World’s Fair? It will probably be the former in both cases. The pavilion’s designer, Buckrninster Fuller, has spoken of large areas of barren arctic tundra (barren because it is too expensive to construct a permanent building) covered in the future by his enormous domes.

A self-contained city inside such a dome ‘would have its atmosphere regulated so that rain would either be only a memory or’ else fall only during certain hours.

SuddenIy Kitchener’s downtown has become some sort of status symbol among teenyboppers. Hordes of them can be seen day or night, weekday or weekend,leisurely strolling amid trees and flow,ers which have replaced cars and parking meters on major business blocks of King Street.

them are those slumped over benches officially provided by Kitchener’s downtown merchants for the weary shopper. There is no clear reason why these teenyboppers have decided to infest Kitchener ‘s experimental downtown mall. Perhaps it is because of their righteous belief that the core of a city should be bustling withactivity. Perhaps in their confused minds they think this is Kitchener’s answer to Yorkville. The creation of the mall is a significant and far-sighted developmerit. A more extensive version of last summer’s successful experiment, it is the fore-runner of a permanent mall planned as part of revitalizing Kitchener’s downtown within the next few years. In spite of its shortcomings--including a serious lack of suitable parking spaces, an inadequate arterial road system and the overiabundance of teenyboppers, be sure to visit the mall before Labor Day, after which it will be dismantled. Maybe when you make your annual pilgrammage to seek accommodation for the upcoming term. Over 75 teenyboppers expressed their discontent with themall on Saturday by waving placards and marching up and down the mall and in front of the city hall. One youth said he and others like him were fed up just walking up and down the street looking in store windows and keeping the outdoor hotdog stands running.

If the phrase “the goodprofessor” is relevant to the issue of university government, I think Mr, Ireland should explain why. Otherwise a more accurate description of myself (or just my name) would be more appropriate. 2. According to Mr. Ireland, I the student having argue “against any place of importance other than a limited consultive or after-thefact role” the implication is that I see the student as a lowly underdog. This play for sympathy (pity the poor downtrodden student) is being heavily overworked and it’s time some of our students came off it. I feel the student’s capacity to participate in top-level decisions is limited: the claim that this denies the student “any place of importance” is far-fetched, atidprobably the weakest of allMr.Ireland’s arguments. 3.

The student never seems to hear about these things, but then again what can we expect - we are only the necessary evil around this degree factory making high output possible and justifying the capital to build the buildings. Let’s not let this happen again. We are the first campus in Canada to haveits own real-honest-to-goodness-on-the-spot ark. You haven’t seen Hagey’s Ark yet? Just walk 97 cubits due south from Lobban’s Lamppost and 13 cubits due west and you are there under the mighty shadow of the engineering commonroom. Wouldn’t it be fitting if we (not the adminstradon) were to set this mighty ship on its maiden voyage? We could label its bow and stern proudly with a fitting name such as HMCS Waterlogged or Noah the Second o Rum.or has it she’s floating on the water table already. That solves one big problem o All we need is a bottle of the best champaigne (to convince the administration we are treating their baby with reverence. We could even build a gangplank on each side.

readers to read on in my article to see what my point actually was. 4. Apparent contradictions in my article are created by Mr. Ireland (not by me) by the creaky device of comparing statements which refer to different things without acknowledging their differing references. 5. The resolving power of Mr. Ireland’s view of the university is extremely low. For example, “Either the participation is meaningful and successful or it isn’t.” The concept of a community with a structure and having parts which react on each other, and yet being a community nonetheless, escapes this low resolution capacity. I suspect most of my arguments willsuffer thesame fate as my comments about “feedback” for this reason. 6. Mr. Ireland once again knocks down Aunt Sally for us in quoting from the student brief: “Thefaculty is the senior partner in the community, but not the only member.” She also needs a rest. 7. The reference to my **trite phras es” is totally misleading, as readers of the May 26 issue will easily see for thems elves, My point was simply that there is widespread belief that the current phase of student interest in administration has deeper roots than the student brief indicated and that this possibility should not be ignored. 8. I must say I share Mr, Ireland% concern for the whole matter of comrnunicadons o Communication in a large and rapidly growing institution is a major problem. We haven? solved it. But I strongly with the hypochondrial disagree groom of the picture which he has painted and with the conclusions he has drawn from it. 9. The concluding six questions of Mr. Ireland’s article have long since reached the status of cliches, but their vitality and relevance demand tiat they continually be kept before US. If the current palaver about university government does nothing but keep questions alive, it will have been worthwhile. If this becomes nothing more than a duel between Mr. Ireland and myself, then we are both wasting our time and a quiet game of cribbage would be a better investment.

Legislature reverses student seat at UWO TORONTO (CUP)--The Ontario government last week reversed its earlier promise to allow a student to sit on the board of governors of the University of Western Ontario. The original policy developed by the private-bills committee of the legislature called for direct representation of the student body on the university% board of governors. This clause was supported by UWO’s student council, but opposed by the administr ation, which f avored indirof students ect representation through a graduate who has beenout of the university for at least a year. The bill now provides for a “rector” to represent student interests, but the rector must not himself be a student or under 25, and he must be acceptable to the board.

Douglas Ward, president of the Canadian Union of Students, expressed “great disappointment*’ at the action of the Conservative mx-nent in reversing the amendmerit. “It is particularly distressing to hear the government speak of the ‘inevitability’ of students on boards of governors, and then overrule an an-pzndrnent which would have assured it,‘” he said. “This government action provides sad confirmation to the view held by the Western and other boards of governors on the role of the student in his university. At a time when tiversity government is in dire need of reform, and of mutual respect among those concerned with reform, the provision of a rector fixes into law a demeaning and token form of representation which keeps the students on the sidelines. “Electing one student to a board of governors would not initself constitute the reform of universitygovernrnent, but it could give a start to reforms based upon a recognition of students as members of their academic community, with all the responsibilities that should entail,*’ Ward said.

CIAUrules out athletic scholarships--there’s always lgwnmowina by John Canadian

University

Press

The Canadian IntercollegiateAthletfc Union recently again pronounced itself against athletic scholarships for Canadian college athletes. The CIAU is the governing-national body for college sport, and this decision means that all member leagues and institutions must abide by this ruling. This also means that SimonFraser University, for instance, is not eligible to compete in any league sport sanctioned by the CIAU, and can never hold a Canadian college championship. This alsomeans that individual competitors in track and field and other sports who set Canadian records cannot have them recognized as college records. The arguments against athletic

reasons, does not perform as expxted once in college, and is subsequently dumped from the program. Or, the athlete who is treated as valuable material and has his life and living habits dictated down to the minute by the athletic staff. The academic objection incanada is most often that to give ascholarship for athletic prowess would be contrary to the aims of the university, those being the nuturing of a community of scholars united in the search for truth and knowledge. They fear the introductionof special make-up examinations prepared for a&let& who, because of time commitments to the universityss athIetic program do not have the tfmeavail-

able to produce passing grades. These corruptions of the university’s aims do occur, but it is surprising to note thekinds afathlescholarships in Canadian universitic scholarship programs available ties are largely derived from obfor athletes which do not runagainst servation of theAmerican collegiate the good reputation of theuniversity scholarship system.

directors. However, the CIAU vote and announcement reflects not the feeling of the athletic staffs, but the views of theuniversity’s adminis trative officers. The coaches offer the following arguments in favor of the scholarship: --Athletes, on scholarshlp or not, must gain and maintain good grades in order to participate in athletics at all. In fact academic standards are more stringent for athletesthan for most other students. --Athletics have a second motivation for striving for good grades

since they will have to sit outayear of sports for the lack of passing grades. Add to this theusualstrong motivation for sports held by most athletes and the desireis reinforced. --Many athlete cannot partici-

pate in athledcs because they must hold down part-time jobs through the school year. Athletic scholarship for these students would give them more time to devote totheir studies. Athletic directors and coaches also point out the contradiction inherent ln many universities who on the one hand assert that sports are an important part of total development of many students t but they on the other hand balk at recognfzfng this fact fn such a situation as this. Some athledc directors will candidly admit that the only rationale for spending so much money onmaJor sports (football, hockey,basketball) which involve a mere fraction of the student body directly, is in terms of publidty for the univer&y--Notre Dame in football and

University of Toronto in hockey, for example. The above arguments aremouthed by both sides publicly. The private and lesser-known bone of contention within the CIAU is more subtle. The fear is that if athledc scholarships are sanctioned by the CIAU, universides will be@ competition for Canada’s athletes, and thus the richest universities will get the best players. This, perhaps s is the single most important point upon which there will have to be agreement before the
