Jack Buchanan called the meet- ing to order at 7.00 and
explained the situation he was in, an arts- man and president of
the Univer- sity of Waterloo Students Coun- cil (which in reality
is made up of engineering and science stu- dents) while actually
being en- rolled at Waterloo University College (which is separate
from the University).
Dr. Batke: stated that the con- stitution in question had been
drawn up last spring with the pre- supposition that the two
faculties would unite in the fall.
Jack Buchanan: read the letter from Dr. Hagey which stated that
with a few minor changes, the constitution would soon be pre-
sented to the board of governors.
Dean Schaus was then called upon to give the arts side of this
matter. He said that the basis of this entire constitution presumed
federation to be an accomplished fact. He went on to say that the
college was still affiliated with Western University and that it
had obligations in that direction and that this obligation must be
100%. In the process of negotiat- ing with the University of Water-
loo, the bringing in of such a matter as the constitution, would
only aggravate the situation and will not help in any clear, un-
prejudiced way. While negotia- tions are in progress it would no1
be possible to make any state- ments and that we should wait until
this matter is settled; and in due course make our own deci- sions
in one way or another. He concluded by saying that he did not see
why we could not carry on as in the past, before federa- tion is
reached.
Dr. Batke: The work on the constitution was carried on with the
presupposition that there would be a federation this fall The
council, University of Water- loo, will go on and it is regrettable
that federation has not occurred Now it is a question of the stu-
dents of the college withdrawing If you are going to be separate
then you should be separate.
Jack Buchanan: What will hap- pen to the Board of Publications
N.F.C.U.S., W.U.S.? There is muck more to consider than our owr
students council.
Question (Engineers) : When
you expect the decision to be made?
Answer (Dean Schaus) : The agreement with Western is going on
indefinitely unless either party gives notice, which in the case of
the College, might be around June 30, 1960. However, by the first
of January, 1960, we should know whether well go into federation or
not.
( elusion reached as regards the 5 students fees. Therefore
there 7 was contradiction all along and 1 the article about the
vote to be 1 taken on November 3, brought 1 this to a head.
1
Question: Are the college stu- dents to be removed from the
Council?
Question: If this council carried on as it has, who would stop
it?
Answer: Pab could prevent arts representatives from coming to
the meetings, if he secured a vote of confidence from the
students.
Answer (Pab Machetzki) : We as members in affiliation with the
University of Western Ontario cannot enter legally into dealings
with another university, we can- not vote legally on the constitu-
tion or hold office.
The only solution appeared to be a gentlemans agreement with the
engineering and science stu- dents. Jack Buchanan then sug- gested
that we have a co-ordinat- ing body to keep the Board of
Publications together, in an ad- visory capacity.
Question (Dean Schaus) : Would this group be unconstitutional as
a Co-ordinating committee with Jack Buchanan as the chairman and
with representatives from other groups on it and that they meet at
regular times to discuss natters of mutual interest BUT ;hat the
finances be kept separ- ate? As regards social functions, now much
would arts and engin- zers contribute? as for Board of
Publications-how much could we zet from the arts or engineers? They
could take their problems to this committee to be straightened
mt.
Question (John Erb): What are we going to do about the
finances?
Answer (Jack Buchanan): The soard of Pubs already had its ;hare
of the students fee. In iact, a cheque had been handed )ver to
U.W.S.C., made up of the students $2.50 fee.
Dr. Batke: The University exists and will have its student
council if not today then tomorrow.
Question: Is there any objection to having W.U.S.C. carry on as
it has been?
The positions of N.F.C.U.S. and W.U.S. were again brought up md
at this time it was suggested ;hat they would probably be two
separate organizations or perhaps )e constituted as clubs. There
was 31~0 the suggestion that the con- stitution s,hould be tabled
till a Later date.
Answer: The arts have no ob- jection except one-the name of the
body.
Dean Schaus: There is no objec- tion to a co-ordinating
committee but the finances would have to be separated.
Therefore, Gary Morton moved that the name of this body be
changed to the Councils of Uni- versity of Waterloo, Waterloo
University College, and Univer- sity of St. Jeromes College and
that it remain operating as a non- constituted body until the ad-
ministration calls for one. Sec- onded by John Erb. 11 in favor,
John Beam abstaining. Carried.
Question (Engineering) : Why are the finances to be kept separ-
ate?
Answer: Suppose that federa- tion does not mature, then we are
left on a limb and the money be- longs to the University.
The question of what to do about the ballots which had been
taken by the out-quarter of en- gineering students on the pro-
posed constitution came up.
Another suggestion was that the co-ordinating be done by the two
separate councils. However without the arts faculty being legal, it
was felt that there wa: no point in having a University Council or
a co-ordinating body. Ihe position of St. Jeromes was very much the
same as the arts position, for they are not yet federated with the
university.

John Bratton then moved that the ballots already taken on the
proposed constitution be disposed of, without being counted, in any
manner which the president of this body saw fit. The motion was
first withdrawn, then, after some further discussion was remade and
seconded by Paul Koch. Alb- stentions-Gary LMorton and John Beam,
the rest were in favor of the motion. Carried.
The question of why a vote was desired on the constitution was
brought out. Jack Buchanan stated that the only reason for holding
it was to see whether or not the students would back it, As it is,
the vote was considered undesirable by the Waterloo Col- lege
Administration. Then too, Pab Matchetzki wished to have power over
the artsmens fees.
Question (John Bratton) : Bui does he not realize that he is
get- ting the short end of the stick?
Gary Morton: Yes. Due to misunderstanding and
inexperience, the minutes of the last meeting had not been sent
tc the administration and thereforc
_ it was not advised of the con-
Question: Is the administration of the college concerned about a
co-ordination of activities or vot- ing on something which says
University of Waterloo. If the vote is held ofI till January would
this be suitable or is the adminis- tration interested in splitting
apart this body?
Answer (Dean Schaus) : First concern was the taking of the vote,
the implications of which are very serious and beyond the
understanding of the people here; second, equitable distribution of
the finances.
It was moved1 by >Paul Koch and seconded by Gary Morton that
one of the council representatives Jack Buchanan, speak to Dr
(Continued page 3, col. 3)
The following is a statement of this Universitys administrative
policy as it applies to the current controversy about a proposed
con- stitution for a student council Zonsisting of representatives
from this University and the two uni- versity colleges that have
planned federation with the University.
In the Spring of this year the Legislature of the Province of
On- tario approved a private bill in- corporating The University of
Waterloo. Appended to this bill, and part of it, were two agree-
ments, according to which Water- loo University College and The
University of St. Jeromes Col- lege might become federated with The
University of Waterloo.
The Board of Governors of the University, its administrators and
faculty have anticipated that a Federation of The University of
Waterloo would come into being reasonably soon.
In harmony with this anticipa- ;ion (and in spite of the fact
that there is now only one minor agreement in effect between the
University and the Colleges), the University has been continuing to
make its Science Faculty and fa- zilities, its athletic instructors
and facilities, available to the College students. Likewise, it has
accept- ed the members of Waterloo Uni- versity College Faculty for
in-
struction of the Arts subjects that are part of the Universitys
curri- culum.
In general, it has been the de- sire of the University to
co-oper- ate with the College and extend to it the privileges that
it would enjoy under a program of federa- tion.
A successful federation program will be dependent upon future
co- operation, trust and respect among Boards, administrators, fa-
culties, staffs, and students of all parties in the federation
program.
The University greatly appre- ciates the co-operation received
from the Colleges to date, and hopes that there will be an in-
creasing sharing of interests as work toward the completion of
federation continues.
The University is proud of the work that has been done by the
students of the College and the University, together with Faculty
representative% in coming to agreement on a constitution for a
student council. We are pre- pared to submit the constitution as it
has been drafted, with a few minor changes, to our Board of
Governors for approval. We re- spect the autonomy of the College
administrators and Board to take whatever action in this direction
they feel desirable.
J. G. Hagey, President.
$1,000 DONATIO DISASTER VICTIMS
In response to urgent requests 1 University Service has a vital
role received from National WUS committees in India, Japan and
Korea, World University Service of Canada has launched an emer-
gency appeal for aid to thousands of students who, are suffering as
a result of the havoc created in recent weeks by severe floods, cy-
clones and typhoons. To initiate this appeal, WUSC made $1,000
available immediately for assist- ance to students in these
stricken areas. Students in every Canadian university are being
urged to re- spond generously to local fund campaigns so that this
token con- tribution can be substantially in- creased.
to play in providing them with grants or scholarships,
purchasing text-books, and supplying other personal requirements,
so that their studies may not be seriously disrupted.
In Japan it is estimated that over 5,500 professors and students
have been affected by floods which have destroyed more than 125;OOO
homes. Epidemics of dy- sentery and typhus have broken out in the
wake of tidal waves, creating an immediate need for medical
supplies. Clothing and foodstuffs have also been request- ed.
Due to the disruption of com- munications, the extent of de-
vastation in these three countries cannot yet be accurately esti-
mated, but enough information has already been received to indi-
cate the gravity of the situation.
In India, floods and cyclones that are more severe than any in
recent history have ravaged As- sam, Kashmir and West Bengal. In
Assam, more than 1,000 square miles of land have been engulfed by
floods, affecting well over ten million people, while in West
Bengal there are two million victims. The Government is faced with
an enormous task of rehabilitation, and aid has been solicited from
non-official sources, organization and private indivi- duals.
The plight of students in these areas * is desperate, and
World
World University Service of Canada has commended the Cana- dian
government for its recent action in sending $20,000 to Japan, and
has acknowledged its own obligation to the university com- munity
of Japan, since govern- mental action cannot provide for particular
attention to be given to students.
In Korea, many lives have been lost and property damage is ex-
tensive. More than half the stu- dents studying in Seoul come from
the districts hit by typhoons, and will be forced to abandon their
studies unless aid is quickly forthcoming.
World University Service of Canada will be joined by National
WUS committees throughout the world in extending sympathy and
material assistance to the disaster victims of Asia.

We are all aware of the fact, that the scheduled federation ef
Waterloo College with the University of Waterloo, has not occurred.
There has been much controvery and discussion given to this problem
by the students of both institutions. This issue of the Cord should
outline the situation insofar as student government is concerned.
From the administrative point of view, one should remember that
Waterloo University College is separate from the University of
Waterloo. Fate, however, has placed us a few blocks apart.
Negotiations between the Administrations of Waterloo University
College and the University of Waterloo are in effect. The
effectiveness of the negotiations is another question.
Should Waterloo University College decide not to feder- ate with
the University of Waterloo, and also cease its affilia- tion with
the University of Western Ontario, then Waterloo Lutheran
University would use its full degree granting powers. The Tale of
Two Universities would result.
One can imagine the problems which would follow; especially at
the student level. Advertising for publications would be separately
solicited. Representatives from the Uni- versity of Waterloo and
Waterloo Lutheran University would be knocking on the merchants
doors. A few people may, for some reason, become confused.
Facilities for student activities would become a definite problem.
Student attitudes would regress to the previous level of Arts
against Engineering and Science. Eventually the University of
Waterloo would establish its own Arts College and the effect of
this upon the enrollment at Waterloo University College might prove
in- teresting.
If the present negotiations involve only politics, power and
prestige on the part of those concerned, it is necessary to submit
that their thinking should focus on higher goals: easily gained
through an objective approach.
A unified centre of higher learning was planned for, donated to,
and counted upon by citizens of this region and elsewhere, to say
nothing of the students. What happened?

In the past few weeks it has been brought to my attention that
there is growing concern, anxiety and misunderstanding among Arts
students as to our position here at Waterloo University Col- lege.
In an effort to clarify our position the following information is
put forward:
1. Waterloo University College is still affiliated with the
Univer- sity of Western Ontario. We are not in any way, shape or
form, connected with the University of Waterloo, and therefore we
cannot, as I stated at the last Waterloo University College and
University of Waterloc Students Council meeting, vote legally to
give authority, power or control of funds to a University Students
Council, We may however work together under a non-constitutional
body composed of Waterloo Univer- sity College, University of
Waterloo and the University of St. Jeromes College students, We
must, therefore, be prepared to function as an autonomous
organization until we have a definite statement about our future
from the Board of Governors of Waterloo Uni- versity College.
2. We should not expect this de- cision to be reached for at
least another month, therefore any stories or rumours which one may
hear concerning a swift merger or affiliation with one University
or another should be taken only as stories or rum- ours. No hasty
decision will be made since there are several possibilities open to
our board, and since the pros and cons of each of these
possibilities must be carefully examined and weighed.
3. The Arts Students Council (Waterloo University College) is in
the process of drawing up a constitution which will enable it to
operate under the condi- tions set down above. This constitution
should be ready by approximately the end of Nov- ember at which
time it will be presented to the students and the Board of
Governors for approval.
1. Since we are aware of the un- constitutional status of a Uni-
versity Students Council, and because we feel that the lack of some
sort of co-ordinating body would definitely hinder activi- ties at
Waterloo University College, the University of Wat- erloo, and the
University of St. Jeromes College, the Arts Students Council has
agreed to sit on a non-constitutional body
known as the Councils of the University of Waterloo, Water- loo
University College and the University of St. Jeromes Col- lege. We
will continue to oper- ate on the non-constituted body until such
time as the Board of Governors makes a definite statement as to its
decision.

CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSION Ottawa, October 30-The Civil
Service Commission announced today the federal government is
seeking 6010 university graduates for continuing cmployme!lt and
1200 under-graduates and post- graduate students for summer
work.
At the graduate level, students are required from virtually all
faculties but mainly from arts and commerce, engineering and
agricultural science. Among these are approximately 120 engineers,
100 agricultural scientists and about 200 arts and commerce
graduates for assignment to var- ious classes.
There is also a need for a con- siderable number of young people
with a background in mathematics and physics for training in mete-
orology.
The recruiting program for the administrative classes, such as
foreign service officers and junior administrative officers, and
for civil, electrical and mechanical engineers is now under way.
Other classes, and summer staff, will be recruited later.
As the first step in its program the Commission is sending
senior officers to the universities to de- scribe the needs and
acquaint the students with conditions of gov- ernment
employment.
The starting salaries for grad- uates vary from class to class
depending on the academic spec- ialization required. For the most
part, graduates in arts and1 com- merce will be offered about $350
a month, engineers about $400. Some students with post graduate
training in the sciences will get up to $500 a month.
The under-graduates hired for summer work will receive from $245
to $305 a month depending on the amount of university training they
have had and re- lated experience. Some students seeking
post-graduate degrees will get more than that.
Among the 1206 to be employed next summer will be approxi-
mately 300 under-graduates in Zngineering, 150 in geology, 250 in
agriculture and 120 in forestry. evlany of them will be engaged on
Field work and survey parties,
Have you not been impressed by the friendliness and informal-
ity of Waterloo College? Several students who have at one time or
another attended Western Univer- sity have commented to us on this
very thing. The Torque Room is a good illustration. Here students
of both sexes, all years, different faculties, tend to mix,
exchange greetings, joke, and converse.
In the lunch room or dining hall at Western, the situation
appears to be reversed. Apparently you wouldnt dream of sitting
down with a casual acquaintance even if you knew that he was in one
of your classes. The sophomores associate with sophomores, E%ery-
one is rather reserved and formal.
The size of Waterloo College (University, University College or
whatever it happens to be- we still havent figured it out) is an
important factor. Perhaps our in- formality in dress (comparatively
speaking) is another factor which encourages this unique spirit of
friendliness. As for us, we dont care what factors are involved,
what forces are behind the warmth of this college, we just hope
that whatever they are, they will continue for this year, the next,
and the next.
Now, we may have exaggerated a little in the body of this edi-
torial but it is in all sincerity that we say we have been
impressed by the friendliness and informal- ity of Waterloo
College.
CUES FROM CONRAD Geraldine Duquette
Some excitement in the dorm was caused very early last Sun- day
morning by the fire at St. Johns Church. On seeing the
conflagration from an upstairs window, several of the girls in
their bleary-eyed three a.m. state took it to be only a few doors
away and were seriously con- sidering packing in preparation for a
hasty evacuation of the hall.
On Tuesday morning we in- dustriously sampled chunks of fudge
and packaged the remain- ing crumbs for the Phi Delta Pi candy
sale. The specimen of questionable palatability, deliver- ed by a
member of the senior resi- dence, remained unwrapped due to their
liquid qualities, but not unsampled by the more daring testers
among us.
To boost our morale on a dreary November afternoon our house-
mother thoughtfully provided us with two enormous platters of
savoury doughnuts. Since then our plea has been not Rain, rain, go
away, but come again some other day!
PHI DELTA PI Betty Lyn Boyle
Well girls, we made a good twenty-five dollars from our Fudge
Sale! This will help to- wards the bursary we want to donate. Of
course, if anyone has any more suggestions about rais- ing money
for this cause, Dale Perrin will be glad to hear them.
Games Night on Wednesday, November 18, is one date you wont want
to miss. This is going to be one of your best chances to get to
know the girls who are sharing your college experience. This
promises to be an opportun- ity for a lot of gabbing so you will
certainly want to be there (in 2ase we talk about you)! Serious-
ly, it is going to be a lot of fun. Avanall Grant and Andrene
Shearer have a terrific program planned. This will be followed by
refreshments in Conrad Hall. See you on Wednesday at 8.00 p.m.
sharp in the Dining Hall!

To eat or not to eat; that is the question:
Whether tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The pains and aches of seething indigestion;
Or to take arms against the dirty dishes
And by opposing end them? . . . To ache . . . To pain
No more; and by revolt to say we end
The stomach aches and the thou- sand shocks
Our gullets are heir to, . . . tis a revolt
Devoutly to be wished. To eat . . . to enjoy . . .
To enjoy! Hah tis a dream: . . . ay tis a rub
That is needed to cleanse these dishes which
When they have sloughed off this filth and grime
Must give us joy. Theres an as- pect
That makes calamity of college life:
For who would bear the aches and pains of meals,
The dishwashers wrongs, the dishes grime,
The pangs of indigestion, the cooks
Abortion, and the everlasting pains.
The college student must needs bear
Because he depends on others For his meals ? Who else would
bear our burdens, To grunt and groan because of a
meal Whose prospect is a fate, true,
worse than death, The crowded cafeterias from
whose bourn The student does not return . . .
but rather a man, Sick, paining, despairing, the
need for food, That sustenance of life no one can
do without? Is it malnutrition that doth make
us weak, Too cowardly to overcome the
wrongs Against our gentlest stomachs and
our tastes? But soft, is this a dagger which
I see before me? Come . . . let me clutch thee . . .
argh! Tis but a greasy steak-knife late
returned From the locker in which it once
was lodged. Ah, the fates do but mock us
still, Carry on Cafeteria and may thy
sins be remembered.
Gary Lambert, Enginews Editor.
Before looking at the career op- portunities for todays
engineer, we should realize that an engineer needs such
characteristics as in- dependence, deep concentration, well-rounded
personality, and a sense of accurate observation We might also
notice that he is a person who has built a career of analpsis and
synthesis out of many years study in mathematics and sciences.
The civil engineer is one who deals with the designing, con-
struction and maintenance of pub- lic works such as roads, bridges,
tunnels and canals. He is keenly interested in materials for con-
struction and the stresses and strains which will act on finished
objects, be it bridges, skyscraper or tunnel. His career opportuni-
ties lie in fields such as all as- pects of highway, waterway and
railway construction, water sup- ply and sewage disposal, airports
and water-control dams.
The mechanical engineer deals with the designing of machines for
transportation, the manufac- ture of articles, and the manufac-
ture of machines which serve man for his convenience. An example of
this last section is air-condi- tioning. The mechanical engineer
designs and supervises the con- struction of power plants, vehicles
of all types, and refrigeration units. His career opportunities may
be found in the fields of plant operation and control, per- fection
of the internal-combustion type engine, aeronautics including
rockets and missiles, automatic machines and atomic power in-
cluding atom smashers, artificial radioactivity and atomic and hy-
drogen bombs.
The electrical engineer concerns himself with the designing,
con- struction and operating of elec- trical apparatus for
generation of electrical power, power transrnis-
sion and the ultimate use of this power. There are a great
number of opportunities in the electrica: field. He might
specialize in com- puting and recording machines radio, television
and remote con. trol apparatus, improvements tc electrical welding,
the telephone or lighting or solar energy, bat. teries, convertors
and heating and air-conditioning. The electrica: engineer might
also find oppor tunities in other aspects of the communications
field such as tele. graph, electrical waves, wireles: telephony,
and teletypewriters.
The chemical engineer whc might findt opportunities in the
improvement of foods, food pre* servation, f ertilization or sugai
industry. He might also derive new soaps, explosives, petroleun
fractions, artificial fabrics, papers paints, glasses, plastics,
metal: and alloys. He can by research produce new types of steel
fol rocket nose cones, or new type: of rubber which will wear
longer or stretch better, or snap bacl into their original shape
fastel after stretching.
Mining and metallurgical engi neering offers opportunities tc
those who are interested in ex ploration and geology to a certair
degree. The mining of coal ant the preparation of coal for mar ket,
the mining of metals such ar iron, copper, and aluminum ore the
mining of uranium, mine ap praisal, assaying and the produc tion of
allosy are some of the op portunities awaiting the minim
engineer.
Other types of engineers sucl as traffic engineers, and engineer
ing physicists have equal caree: opportunities waiting for
them.
The future and its opportuni ties await us when we have decid ed
upon our specialized engineer ing career and have completec our
formal education.

Would it be the Chemistry labs? erhaps the wonder and surprise
)f adding acids to unknown ma- erials, watching the contents of he
beaker hit the ceiling, weigh- ng the remains and fmding I nave a
99.9% error could be #errned my best activity. But al- ,hough it is
interesting, I would lot say that it was my favourite.
What about the Physics labs? Nhat are interesting subjects for 1
young engineer - building an ammeter! It was the first time I lad
ever attempted to build such 1 delicately accurate instrument. [
enjoyed it immensely when the lot wire came into contact with ;he
pine-wood base, because a iew minutes later, the entire lab was
filled with billows of smoke. Yes indeed, it was interesting, al-
though I still cant figure out why Professor Davies wanted me to
;urn off the switch! However, I dont think I would term this as my
favourite either.
Could it be the sports? There 1s nothing more wonderful than
sitting in the bleachers with a girl in one hand and a mickey in
the other, all three of us watch- ing those silly artsmen getting
smeared by the fellows from On- tario Agricultural College. True:
this is a very happy occasion but it rates below one other
activity
Yes, there are many appealing activities at U. of W., the labs
the sports, the various clubs However, the one that I like besl
-especially in certain dull lec- ture periods-is that blessed in.

Abdul vs. Thei MUD-
After BIG M&Ike kicked me ut of his office for sugggesting
hat automatic steel mill, I began 3 think that perhaps I had
started ly engineering career by tackling
problem that was just too much or my ability. I next turned
to
problem that was just a little nore down to earth. To be
exact,
volunteered my expert services o the Napoleon Engineering
;c,hool, to attempt to solve their nud problem.
Since I wanted to get a first- Land look at the problem, I urged
ny father to use a month of his vages as a steel-worker to send ne
to the school for a six year beriod. This was quickly accom-
jlished, and I set out, a week ater, in an old Arabs sailing ship o
try to reach Mudville, Canada, ite of the school. The trip would
lave gone very well had it not )een for that fool Arabs continual
abbering about falling off the tdge of the world. What a charac-
er! Any fool, including me, Knows that the world is an oblate
,pheroid, or an egg shape. Come o think of it, the comparison with
m egg is very appropriate: The world has a thin shell, and inside
ts really rotten. However, the ittle old Arab and his quaint :ears
were amusing, and I arrived n Mudville, in high spirits.
After recovering from the ini- ;ial shock of seeing those
beauti- rul buildings surrounded like ships in a fog, by that sea
of 3rown ooze, I began to notice certain strange phenomonae con-
lected with this particular type If mud. For instance, I dropped 2
pencil from a third story win- dow of the physics building, and
carefully noted where it landed Upon further investigation, 1 found
a small hole in the earth approximately the diameter oj the pencil
which was dropped Ibis hole extended a depth oj four feet into the
mud. This in. trigued me,, for if a light objecl like a pencil
could plunge that fai into the mud, what would happer to a heavier
object. This experi. ment also brought me to realizc that if the
entire studem body were to assemble in the physic: building at one
time, and if the1 happened to stamp their feet a one time, the
entire building would sink from sight in abou eight seconds. I
quickly formu. lated a plan by which I coulc further study this
malignant mud If I could obtain a volunteer, 1 could have him jump
off the roo: of the building, holding one enc of a one thousand
foot rope. Thus I could determine how deep tht mud was (certainly
not more thar one thousand feet) and how it wa; composed. The
volunteers were presented more quickly than 1 had dared to hope. It
seems tha the cafeteria staff happened tc come my way while they
wert trying to escape from an angry lynch mob, and they agreed to
dc anything I said in return for I hiding place. Little did they,
or I know what was about to happen At the designated hour, I tiec
them firmly together, and pushec them over the side of the build
ing. They disappeared almost im mediately into the mud and the rope
began reeling out at a fan tastic rate. One hundred, . . . twc
hundred . . . three hundred . . nine hundred . . . gone!!
Needless to say, this acciden was a real blow to my research
However, I could now draw cer tain definite conclusions whicl would
help me in my anti-muc campaign: (1) the mud was tot deep to be
removed by any prac tical method; (2) a supportin structure of
piles driven into thl bed rock was almost impractical since it was
apparently impossibll to find bed rock.
F ABDUL On the third day following the
tragic disappearance of the cafe- teria staff, a real disas$ter
oc- curred: three cars disappeared from the roadside near annex
two. All that could be seen as evidence of their disappearance were
three holes extending out of sight into the depths of the slime.
Since the cars belonged to dr. Seegmiller, the dean of sci- rices,
and Mr. Axford, who was here on a goodwill tour, I was Irged to
begin immediate anti- nud procedures.
Since mud consists of a mixture If earth, water, cars, and
people,

By the time this article is avail- able to the sympathetic
student body, the Arts - Engineers game will be history. If all
goes w,ell it should be as great a success as last year. I for one
think that there should be far more of this kind of inter-faculty
competition.
Last year the game turned out to be a very pleasant surprise for
me. When I went to the stadium, it was indeed gratifying to see
more than a handful of fans. Dur- ing the entire game there was a
continuous chorus of cheers and shouts. Everyone assembled was
having a good time; the final score seemed to be both a compliment
to the winners as well as to the losers. In fact, many were very
impressed with the boys from down under who lost by only seven
points to a squad made up largely of varsity players.
This year, the spectacle, for it certainly can be called such,
should be even better with the elimination of these varsity play-
ers. It wouldnt surprise me that, by the time this edition hits the
confines of the Torque Room, the engineers will have won this years
contest.
Whatever the outcome may be, the fact remains that many peo- ple
will have enjoyed themselves. More important, there will be an
increase of inter-factulty compe- tition that will help to make us
a true University. The United Appeal will benefit from the
joust.
Let us hope that the competi- tion which exists now grows on
this campus until it takes1 in all aspects of sport. Let us see an
advance in activity until it enI- gulfs curling, golf, tennis,
track and all the other fields that arent included now.
I note that the hockey team held their first practice the other
day. I wasnt down to the ice- box but I noticed a few of the
veterans hobbling around next day. It seems that the team is a bit
weak in spots; goaltending for one. Perhaps last years fans can
think of some other spots.
Intramural sporting activities got into full swing last week
with the hockey and basket- ball schedules opening Monday and
Thursday nights. In Mon- days basketball tilts, three out of six
games were defaulted due to lack of organization of the vari- ous
teams, but in the games that were played Eng I A defeated Eng 2,A
55-12, Ehg 1 B defeated Frosh A 41-18 while the Frosh B won their
game 28-22 over Eng 1 A.

and Pre Eng defaulted in their tilt.
Hockey action provided some interesting play at the Waterloo
Arena Thursday night with Eng I B serving notice of their power
with a 9-10 victory over Frosh B. Frosh A eked out a 3-2 deci- sion
over Eng 2 A while Pre Eng and Eng I As battled to a 4-4 tie.
Games slated for next Monday, Nov. 16 in basketball are Eng 1 A

Athletic representatives for the various classes are asked to
make sure they have their teams lined up and on hand for their
assigned games.
A prediction closes this column. I can say without tongue in
cheek that this years varsity curling team will retain their
inter-colle- giate championship. Dont let me down gentlemen!
WATERLOO vs. O.A.C.
Ontario Agricultural College Redmen clinched the champion- ship
of the Ontario Intercollegiate Conference on Saturday with a 28 - 9
win over Waterloo College Mules. The O.A.C. Redmen will travel to
Halifax to meet the champions of the Nova Scotia League, November
21, for the first playoff between the two groups.
O.A.C. led 7-O in the first quar- ter and it was 28-O in the
fourth quarter before Waterloo hit the score sheet. The Redmen
eased their pressure, then the always potent Mules Defense led by
Ro- senburg and Aru tackled Hume behind his line for a safety
touch. Later in the fourth quarter Yar- mey hit Cy Weber for a 20
yard pass and a touchdown making the score 28-9.
The 9 points the Mules scored against the Redmen were the most
points scored against them in one game this year. GIRLS ATHLETIC
ACTIVITIES
Any girls interested in exer- cises, exercises, and more exer-
cises are invited to attend basket- ball practices Mondays and
Thursdays from 7.00 to 8.00 p.m. (If you are interested in basket-
ball, come out about 6.30 p.m.)
SOCIETY The administration has brought
to the attention of the Under- graduate Society chairman the
fact that students are booking rooms and facilities without clear-
ance through the Undergraduate Society. Would clubs and groups on
campus please note that any facilities or rooms must be cleared
through the Undergraduate Soci- ety chairman, Jim Neeb, in order to
be made available.

If someone were to be so bold as to say, There arent enough
hours in a Waterloo day, he would probably be surrounded by a mob
of angry students ready to hang him from the nearest tree.
If you should find yourself in such a predicament, you had best
explain yourself in the following manner and be quick in doing
so.
But fellows, you could stam- mer, I agree that our superiors are
allowed too much time to try to cram unfamiliar knowledge in- to
the limited space allotted for it in our short memories and also
that they have too much opportu- nity to delve into mysterious
fields that are far beyond our ability to comprehend. But let me
ask you this. Do you go home at night and find you can sit down and
leisurely do the work that has been assigned to you and when it is
finished, do you find time for a few hours of leisure, lets say
seeing a movie uptown or explaining to your girl why you got drunk
over the week- end?
I would say it was an unusual student indeed who found this
description of his afterschool ac- tivities accurate. As for the
ma- jority of us, we never find our- selves without work to do and
if we should chance to indulge in idle pastimes such as those men-
tioned, we are doing so at the expense of our studies. The re- ward
for this neglect comes at the end of the quarter when you glance
over your exam paper trying to find a question you know how to
answer.
So in this respect, I say there arent enough hours in the latter
part of the day to compensate f,or the hours that are, too many in
the earlier part of the day. As a result, many a student finds
himself walking about in a cloud of frustration saying to himself,
I wonder where I can find a steady job when they kick me out of
this institution.

By SINBAD BRITTLE Following last weeks article,
some people have been express- ing their views with regard to
the dining hall problem. Here are some of the printable
opinions:
Joe Puke (Honours Barfing). I think the food is terrific. It
gives me a lot of practical experi- ence in my subject.
Isaac Himmel (Honours Sauer- kraut). Der food reminds me of my
vife. She couldnt cook either.
Bertha Crudd (Honours Eco- nomics) . I would enjoy the meals
more if they gave Green Stamps.
Erbie John (Kitcheners Am- bassador to Waterloo) . Oh, I think
its so delightfully non -U.
Ted Timber (Restaurant Opera- tor) . Its the greatest.

characters drew raves from the assembled critics, mainly because
the num-
Company to the Twin Cities in- spired the dorm boys to hold
their own exhibition of terpsichore, the only difference being that
the Wil- lison Hall presentation was a wa- ter sequence. Three solo
per- formances were given in the fourth floor bathtub and then the
pi&e de r&istance followed early on Sunday morning when a
plumber and an artsman pooled,
ber was so well dressed and the tub was so full.
There is a possibility that the
ful as a scarcity of performers is hampering rehearsals. Swhs,
Juniors and Seniors are reluctant to participate. They remember the
chaos which reigned afi last years rehearsals, when so much time
was needlessly wasted. Jim Neeb, however, insists that things are
organized this year, so any- body with an urge for stardom should
participate without further delay. Wheres all the reported talent
in the Freshman Class?
Seems some immature idiots are phoning Conrad Hall in the early
hours of the morning and then offering ridiculous excuses for do-
ing so. Mrs. Binhammer, the housemother, is a very congenial
person, but nobody likes to be compelled to answer a phone at 2:3U
a.m. Have some considerd- tion guys, and lay off these child- ish
pranlks.

The Mules took their usual beating last week, even though they

Volume 2, NO. 1 UNIVERSITY OF WATERLOO, WATERLOO, ONTARIO
October 23, 1959
ASSUMED DUTIES SEPT. 8
CReprinted front Alumni Bulletin)
As your reporter entered the office of the President of Waterloo
University College, Herbert Mel- vin Axford was pouring over
blueprints of the college campus. Though just arriving in Waterloo
on Labour Day and as yet not totally unpacked, Dr. Axfordi, true to
his dynamic personality, has already thrown his energies into the
rapidly moving developments at the college.
Following a brief discussion, your reporter was invited to ac-
company the President to his tern- porary home on Hickory St.,
where his charming wife, Joan, served tea and talked of their three
children. Marilyn, age 8, Donald and Jimmy, ages 10 and 11 were at
school in Lexington, the site of the new Axford home presently in
its final stages Of construction. The Axfords have lived in many
parts of the conti- nent and have camped in many others. They pride
themselves for adapting quickly to their environ- ment. A pride
well justified for in three weeks they have estab- lished
themselves as members of St. Johns Lutheran congregation where Don
and Jim have joined the cub and scout groups.
Born in 1924, Herbert Melvin Axford received his elementary and
secondary school education in his home town, Winnipeg. Upon
graduation from the Daniel McIn- tvre Collegiate Institute in 1936,
Herbert Axford began a career which carried him into various phases
of the business world and through progressive stages in the field
of education.
As a buy-boy with Marshall Wells, a government agricultural
assistant, a grade 2 clerk with the R.C.A.F. and a Canada Packers
livestock accountant, student Ax- ford both earned his tuition to
the University of Manitoba and ac- cumulated much of the practical
and administrative background which qualifies him for his new
position. After completing his Bachelor of Commerce course Lt.
Axford spent three years with the Royal Calriadian Naval Reserve as
paymaster, supply officer and maintenance officer. He presently
holds the rank of Lt. Commander in that corps.
While proceeding ion-ards his s/laster of Commerce degree, he
met the woman he was to marrJ-. Then followed seven years of
teaching assistantships, research and an instructorship at the Uni-
versity of Wisconsin and Knox College, Illinois.
From Knox College, Assistant Professor Axford accepted<
the
chairmanship of the Department of Economics and Business Ad-
ministration at Pacific Lutheran College in Tacoma, Washington.
Here he completed the thesis which earned him his Doctorate of
Philosophy and an associate professorship. As secretary of the
School of Commerce, University of Alberta, his next post, Dr.
Axford accepted the call to Waterloo University College to become
its sixth president.
Welcome and best wishes to President Axford and his family.
NOTICE On behalf of the University of
Waterloo Students Council, may I extend a personal welcome to
each and every student. It is my hope that you will enjoy a suc-
cessful year, both in the field of Homecoming Weekend - Friday,
Oct. 23:
PRESENT STATUS OF A STUDENTS AT WATERLOO
Many of us are a little confused, ing rights as far as Bachelor
of as to the status of the institution which we now attend. This is
especially true of the Freshmen if not of a number of others on
campus. The Cord Weekly is therefore taking this opportunity to try
and explain just exactly what has taken place in the last year and
what is about to take place in the future.
Divinity is concerned and no more.
Meanwhile the Waterloo Asso- ciate Faculties has become a Cor-
poration under the laws of the Province of Ontario and has be- come
the University of Waterloo. At present it consists of the Faculty
of Engineering and the Faculty of Physical Sciences. In other words
it has broken away from the Waterloo Lutheran Uni- sity and has
become a non- denominational university. .
The Evangelical Lutheran Sem- inary of Canada had been oper-
ating Waterloo College which in- cluded Waterloo Seminary. This is
not the case at the present for the Evangelical Lutheran Semin- ary
of Canada has become Water- loo Lutheran University and Waterloo
College has become Waterloo University College while the Seminary
is called Waterloo Lutheran Seminary.
At the moment Waterloo Luth- eran University has degree
grant-
Waterloo University College is therefore faced with a choice. A
choice of becoming part of the University of Waterloo, or of be-
coming a University in its, own own right. For the moment we are
still associated with Western but this association is expected to
end in June of 1960 and so the College must make the decision
before Christmas in order to let new students know and in order
that calendars etc. may be printed.
Of course all those registered with the College up until next
year will graduate from the Uni- versity of Western Ontario but
this will clearly change in the Fall of 1960.
The most probable course will be affiliation with the UnivePsity
of Waterloo as this would make available certain Provincial grants
not now obtainable because of religious affiliation. The ques-
tion, however, is still not settled but it is expected that, since
President Axford is meeting next week and thereafter so as to be
able to present the Board of Governors with the choice, that a
decision must be forthcoming within the next two months.

that this paper be entitled, The Lost Cord. Well, here ii is . . .

The Board of Publications this year has central&d it
advertising and business management. Therefore, the Core Weekly,
Keystone and Student Directory will work in co operation with these
central committees. It is felt that ii past years the Board of

administration. One does not havt to look far for an example.
Apologies are in order for the-general subject matte in this

Adams pointed out that ten .ears ago Russia was dominated by the
Stalinist regime, which had mprisoned millions of political
lrisoners,, abandoned even the ;emblance of court procedure and
;trangled cultural and political iberty. In her external affairs,
Russia had adopted a get tough 3olicy which led to a succession If
crises in Berlin, and, Korea.
Since 1953, and the death of Stalin, the professor explained,
communist Russia has undergone m important evolution.. Today here
are few political prisoners; ;he use of Secret Police and secret
rials has been curbed and a new emphasis has been placed on
consumer goods and cultural free- lam.

Professor Adams noted that the United States had also undergone
mportant changes. American foreign policy, which was rigid md
unflexible, was dominated by John Foster Dulles whom Adams
lescribed as a crusading evan- :elist employing Machiavellian
techniques. International tension was created by the Dulles belief
;hat he was engaged in a life and leath struggle with communism,
Cnternally, America was divided 3y the tactics and ideas of Senator
LVIcCarthy who caused a paralysi: in American thinking and a 10s:
of her prestige on the part of the rest of the world. ,
Professor Adams pointed ou; that today we have more reasor to be
optimistic about Americar attitudes and policies. Foreigr policy is
being directed by the able and less righteous Chris. tian Herter. A
new American re. surgence of liberalism is ind,i. cated by the fact
that all majol candidates for next years presi. dential election
are standing on z liberal platform. This includes said Mr. Adams,
tricky Dickey Nixon who is most adept a* gauging the directions of
public opinion and then floating alonE with it.
The professor then discussed some of the worlds hot spots of ten
years ago and explained how, with the exception of Nortl- Africa,
they have been eliminatec as danger areas or at least tem- porarily
quieted.
On Tuesday night, Oct. 13, the olitics Club held its first
neeting of the year and had as ts speaker, Professor Geoffrey idams
of the University History lepartment.
Professor Adams compared the nternational situation existing at
he beginning of this decade to he conditions which exist today.
30th the United! States and Rus- ia, he declared, have undergone
mportant internal changes which lave resulted in the easing of
forld tension.
In summing up, Prof essoi Adams pointed out that althouglr the
situation is less likely to leac to war than it was ten years ago
formidable problems still exist The world is still divided into
hostile camps with each side pos sessing the capability of annihi
lating the other. Furthermore the democracies have weakener their
moral position by acceptin] as allies reactionary elements ii other
countries. Finally, we ii America will probably see thl day when
all of Asia will havl swung into the communist orbi and the
possibility is strong tha Africa and South America wil follow
suit.
The lecture was followed by : question period in which Profes
sor Adams fielded all question frankly and fully.
THE PHI DELTA PI & INTEREST TO THE WOMEN
The Phi Delta Pi has been an active organization this year. The
Annual Welcoming Tea for fresh- ettes was held September 24 in the
Lounge. Over one hundred students were greeted by .Dale Perrin,
President, Miss Joan McGill, Dean of Women,. Mrs. Schaus, and Mrs.
Axford. The occasion provided a good opportu- nity for the
freshettes to meet their big sisters, other freshettes, other
senior students and the fe- male members of the faculty.
On October 7th, we had a Wie- ner Roast in the Torque Room,
Several tables provided fuel for a big bonfire in the centre of the
room and freshettes and their big sisters had a gay time toasting

XJES FROM CONRAD
This year the revered walls of Conrad Hall enclose 27 models of
lropriety and one distracted Housemother. Knowing that this
situation could lead to almost any- ,hing, the staff of the Cord
Week- y have asked me to record the veekly misdoings of our merry
group.
On Thursday morning of this peek at three A.M., the freshettes
If the dorm launched the long- iwaited rebellion against the
sophomores.
I was impressed by the spirit and apparent willingness to co-
operate shown by most of the girls in the freshman class. As a
matter of fact I was amazed that the girls were so eager to do dead
horses, salaams, recite Shake- speare, carry lamps, sit under
tables, admit they were bums, scum, and what have you. (Especially
Judy Chamberlain! ! > Thursday evening of initiation week was
perhaps the most mem- orable evening. The non-resident students
were invited to the dorm and drilled by Helen Young and her cohorts
while yours truly was given the opportunity to have re- venge on
the resident students (eh Roberts), or vice versa, de- pending upon
how you look at it. Aft,er two hours of solid drill the
restrictions w,ere lifted slightly to allow all present to have a
little fun and fellowship.
-The fire alarm was sounded oud and long. As the sleepy jophs
staggered out of their *ooms equally sleepy Frosh usher- :d them
into the reception room. 2fter many attempts on the part
of the Sophs to go back to bed they were finally assembled ir
the reception room. The majority vere carried down bodily. One
determined young lady had to bc tubbed, in order to persuade her
that she would be much more content with her fellow ex- exalted
ones.
Truly, that week is now in the past, but I hope that the enthus-
iasm and feeling of unity among the freshman class that was so
apparent during the entire ordeal will continue in the present and
future. If such is the case, both you and Waterloo College will
find it mutually rewarding.
splendidly until the Sophs dis- covered their salty
position.
Pandemonium reigned! ! !
The Frosh had thoughtfully provided food and drinks for their
former tormentors. While the food was being consumed a few
considerate freshettes prepared the Sophs beds for them by
sprinkling salt between the sheets The whole plan was
articulated
Your reporter had the presence of mind to lock herself in her
room but other unfortunates were pursued throughout t h e Dorm. The
culmination of these frivolities occurred with the tub- bing of a
freshette.
Thus, having regained the up- per hand in the Dorm, the Sophs
retired. Have no fear! The Frosh will rise again-but not at three

Mediscope 59 From October 12 to October 17,
thousands of people, ranging in professions from the average la-
bourer to the engineering speci- alist, walked into the Queen
Ediza- beth Building at the C.N.E. grounds, to see the Ontario
Medi- cal Associations Mediscope-59. They came out with perhaps a
little more knowledge of medicine than when they went in.
The entire exposition was put on at the expense of the O.M.A.
,Free admission andl programs and informative pamphlets were great
aids in attracting the public.
The exhibits were obviously designed to appeal to the average
layman. Plaster models of the eye, the heart, and other organs,
, gave a general impression of what these organs looked like,
while detailed photographs, x-ray pic- tures, and movies, presented
in- formation in a more exact tech- nical form.
I could quickly perceive, how- ever, that the richest store of
information lay in the doctors, nurses, and technicians who were
present at every exhibit. For example; in exhibit one, there was a
very ordinary-looking gent- leman seated beside an anaes- thetic
machine. I leaned over the guard rail and asked him how Nitrous
Oxide (a tank of which was in the machine) came into use as an
anaesthetic. The story he told me was amazing. Before he had
finished, there were about twenty people gathered around the booth,
each one straining to hear this little man tell of the American
dentist who first made use of the unique laughing gas as an
anaesthetic.
The facts which most impressed me about Mediscope were the
tremendous opportunities which I could see in almost every exhibit,
for the application of mechanical and electrical engineering. In
ex- hibit 22, labelled Internal medi- cine, a Kitchener doctor told
me of the wide use that medicine is making of radioactive isotopes
in diagnosing functional diseases. In the booth, he had two
scintallation counters, each consisting of a detector,
photomultiplier, a n d counter. It was easy\ to see how both
electrical and mechanical en- gineering could be applied to improve
upon tracing techniques.
Another impressive man whom I talked to was a Toronto brain
surgeon, who outlined the use of the electro-encephalograph ma-
chine to diagnose mental and some functional diseases. He also
spoke of the use of a high fre- quency electric arc knife which he
uses in all operations. This knife not only cuts finer and cleaner
than the conventional knife, but it closes off the severed blood
vessels as well. My talk with this man was worth the entire1
visit.
The scope of work covered at this exposition was much too wide
for me to deal with here. It served its purpose well, for it
offered the layman a chance to have a closer look at the once-
mysterious science of medicine, and it offered to those interested,
the opportunity to make further contacts with some great Canadi-
ans. The opportunities of apply- ing electrical and! mechanical en-
gineering to further improve upon present techniques and equipment
is staggering. What better way is there for an engineer to serve
his fellow man !

n Another step has been taken in
the unification of all faculties on the University Campus. The
two Engineering Societies have unani- mously voted to drop
bi-weekly publication of Enginews and join the Cord Weekly, making
it a campus-wide publication.
Originally the Enginews was published during the spring and
summer months when except for Engineers the campus was de- serted.
Following the friction which developed between the
Engineering Society and the Cord Weekly it was decided to
continue publishing the Enginews on a year around basis. However,
this fall with the advent of a Uni- versity Student Council and
past differences forgotten the E#ngin- eering Society again brought
up the question. It was decided that one campus-wide paper would
aid in unifying the students of the University and Waterloo College
as well as give everyone a more homogeneous outlook on campus
Yes indeed we went through the initiation exercise and came
through it-all in one piece too !
Will we do it next term to others?
Has it been of value to the students concerned ?
These questions and many oth- ers have been foremost in the
freshmens minds during the in- itiation week of this fall term. Am
I, as a reporter, able to answer them definitely? No. Any answer is
debatable. My aim therefore is to analyze the events and our
reactions. You may sup- ply the answers according to your 3wn
judgment.
On the day of registration we received a special copy headed
*Freshmen. Placidly we read it through. Our hearts bounced slightly
when we finished. It was just as we could have expected. We had
thought of this before, nevertheless it came as a shock.
Our lovely groom cut down to the maximum length of one- quarter
of an inch; wearing a turban; carrying a slide rule, log- tables,
and a plunger-all this in public too - furthermore each would have
to find a dance part- ner.
Outrageous ! ! ! However it was only Wednes-
day, and the ordeal was not to come until Monday. Why worry
about tomorrow? Besides there was work to be done. There were books
to be bought, at hair-raising prices; rooms to be found, and made
livable; acquaintances to be made.
Soon Friday came and the dor- mant worries probed and were found
to be shared. Friday after- noon there was considerable talk of
rebellion against the situation.
By Jove, we asked ourselves, were we, almost two-hundred
head, to be bullied about for the next week, or would we unite
and rebel against it? I must ex- plain here the two-fold situation.
Some were just scared to have their locks shorn off, others were
just rebellious for the sake of it. Personally I considered that
the haircut was a moral necessity to prove to oneself that one was
not chicken. Nevertheless the excite- ment of a rebellion appealed
to me.
Saturday came, and most fresh- men appeared at supper with the
prescribed cut. Some longer, others shorter, but cut.
I must admit that my heart pumped a rather large amount of blood
through my arteries when I entered the barber shop.
I must also admit that I came out of the barber shop a new
person in looks and views.
I think that this was the com- mon reaction of most freshmen.
Our burden was now considerably lighter. We accepted the humili-
ations and took them as gentle- men; we brushed shoes, lighted
cigarettes; played dead horse and received tickets; all at the
command of our fellow and sen- ior students.
The first workout at six a.m. was as lousy as it was early. The
Wednesday night workout how- ever was great fun. All the form- er
worries were forgotten; we were there to drill or be drilled. I
think the final score was evened when the vigilantes were forced to
find refuge in the physics build- ing under rapid mud fire aimed in
their general direction. There was a lot of it that week-mud I
mean. The opposition showed great sportsmanship, and from our side,
any hard feelings were now erased.
life. The Engineering Society will
arrange the mailing of the Cord Weekly at no cost to all off-
campus Engineers. During the spring and summer months and for
special occasions such as elec- tions and dances Enginews will be
published. The Engineering Editor will be responsible for editing
all Eagineering contribu- tions which will appear in a spe- cial
section of the Cord Weekly.

Now we are part of the team. We had received our recognition as
much as we had earned it; we had submitted to the rules and we had
rebelled against them.
This is apparently what it takes to become part of a University,
and to be proud of it.

Germanys late Cardinal von Faulhaber of Munich once had a
conversation with the renowned mathematician, Albert Einstein.
Cardinal von Faulhaber, Ein- stein remarked, I respect reli-
gion, but I believe in mathematics. Probably it + is the other way
around with you.
You are mistaken, the Car- dinal retorted. To me, both are
merely different expressions of the same divine exactness.
But, Your Eminence, what would you say if mathematical science
should some day come to conclusions directly contradictory to
religious beliefs?
Oh, answered the Cardinal, I have the highest regard for the
competence of mathematicians. I am sure they would never rest until
they discovered their mis- take.

MEMORIES Well, Freshman Week is over.
Most of us will retain its fond memories for a long while. Soph
versus Frosh; Vigilante versus Loofes; Tribunal versus Retalco; our
refreshing and stimulating jaunt through the woods with its
nearness to Nature; the romance of our serenade to the Arts stu-
dents at six oclock in the morn- ing. Ah yes, the haircuts and the
turbans, the plungers and the signs -long will we remain con-
scious of those niceties given us by the Sophomores, especially the
haircuts! The electrifying sus- pense in the courtroom; the tense
battle of wits between Sophomore judge and Sophomore counsel with
the monotonously regular verdict of, Defendant guilty as
chargedI.
Nor will we forget that epitomy of dances, The Plumbers Plunge.
Come now, you must remember - the one for which our friendly Sophs
gave you the names of those ravishingly beauti- ful( ?) nurses -
for the mere and nominal charge of twenty-five cents to cover
handling. And the music, ah yes, the music - heart- rendingly
nostalgic, wonderful for singing, beautiful for listening. Oh well,
we didnt go there to dance anyway-or did we? Fun- ny, I cant seem
to remember!
Remember the fun we had do- ing animal imitations? Ive never
seen so many diead horses outside a glue factory. I cant imagine
that any of you have forgotten the many hours spent in that labour
of love called shining the Sopho- more shoes.
Yes, Freshman Week is over, but it will be long remembered by
all of us-mainly because well be thinking of the pleasant little
tortures well be handing out next year. What, us worry?

GEORGE FIRIE hbs Weap 10% Discount

247 King St. W. Kitchener
This is the first opportunity we Pablo Matchetski, Pres.
have had, on behalf of the newly formed Arts Students Council,
to greet all the members of the Arts student body. The council ex-
tends to each and every student the warmest possible welcome and
the hope that each of you may have a successful and profit- able
year at Waterloo. We look forward to serving you in the coming
year, and will endeavour to carry out the type of program
acceptable to the majority of students.
As most of you know this is our first year of functioning as
part of a University and of oper- ating under our own political
system. We would ask you then, to be patient with your class re-
presentatives and your executives as we seek to establish and main-
tain the rights and freedoms of the Arts students.
All this will not be easy, there- fore we must plot our course
care- fully. For the first time we will have to co-exist with not
one but two other councils. This will mean some compromise on our
part, but we must also have the ability to take a very definite
stand if this is necessary in order to protect our interests.
To be able to pursue these policies and to accomplish these
the co-operation of each and tasks it will be necessary to
have
every Arts student at Waterloo. Too many activities and projects
here turn out to be one-man jobs. Do not allow that to happen this
year. Beware of hiding the light of your talents under the bushel
basket of selfish, self-contredness. Be on the alert for situations
where you may apply your talents and creative abilities; support
your teams and school activities; do your best, at all times in the
class room, and above all keep in mind at all times that you are
students of Waterloo and should therefore think and act in a man-
ner befitting a student of a Cana- dian University or College.
If you have any ideas or sug- gestions that would, better our
%udent Government or benefit the Arts students in general please
feel free to discuss them with your class representatives or the
Arts Students Council execu- tive. Remember, your interest in
student affairs is necessary if we are to operate at our most effi-
cient level. Let us move forward together showing the administra-
tion, the community and other Canadian Universities and Col- leges
that we are capable of tak- ing our place, as mature and in-
telligent beings, in student gov- ernment. L f

With M.&G. This is the year that we begin
to come out of the doldrums in sports at our dear Alma Mater.
This is the year all the Mule Teams begin to make their pres- ence
felt in inter-varsity compe- tition, and this is the year that the
campus activities will begin to form into a well developed and
organized program.
Sound too optimistic? Perhaps. But then again there are innova-
tions around the University that point to this new development.
Then too,, there are some things that have to be improved.
The biggest improvement in the Athletic field comes in the form
of a new member of the staff. The powers that be finally saw fit to
appoint an assistant to director Totzke and a McMaster graduate,
Dan Pugliese, was given the position. Dan has been work- ing as if
he meant business, (ask some of the boys on the football team if
you dont believe me), proving himself a ball of fire in all
respects. Now we have two of a kind working in our hallowed
confines of Seagram gymnasium.
MULES WIN OVER CARLETON! Led by a re-built defensive
squad, the University of Waterloo Mules won their first league
game in three years by trouncing Carle- ton University Ravens,
30-6.
The defence, which seemed so porous only a week ago, exhibited
the improvement which everyone had hoped for. With the coach- ing
assistance of Lenny Ford, the front wall smeared the Ravens rushers
for a net gain of only 108 yds. as opposed to 429 yds. the week
before. Only the con- sistent passing of the Ravens Laboda
prevented the Mules from running wild. The same names seem to
appear each week and this is no exception. Targosz, Rosenberg,
Archer, Frausen, Arie and Kuntz stood out from a hoar;d of improved
linemen.
Lets not forget the offensive team, which scored thirty points
more than they did a week ago. Led by the elusive sweeps of John
Enns who rolled up 108 yds. for a respectable 8.5 average, and the
power running of I Archer and Rosenberg for 1291 and 46 yds. re-
spectively, the Mules provided the small crowd with some entertain-
ing football. The blocking was more apparent on the line as was the
quarterbacking of Brian Brock who seems to improve game by
game.
Rosenberg started the scoring on a 2 yd. plunge. Archers quick
kick was recovered by Dave Craig who ran 63 yds. before be- ing
hauled down on the Carleton 1 yd. line. Archer then carried it
over. An interception by Dan Yarmey who lateralled to Doug Drynan
provided another Mule T.D. John Enns counted two con- verts and a
23 yd. field goal. Brian Near then picked off an- other Carleton
pass and raced 50 yds. for the last Waterloo T.D.
Congratulations, men, for a job well. done!

SOCCER Waterloo lost to the O.A.C.
Aggies by a score of 6 - 0. Pablo Matchetski displayed bril-
liant goal-keeping despite in- juries he contracted throughout the
game. Rampaging Rex re- ceived two spikes in the side of his face,
but said Rex, It only hurts when I frown.
One may scoff but Waterloo was rated the stiffest opposition the
first-place Aggies have faced. The Waterloo team had only six
practices previous to their first game. It seems as though the
soccer team has a fine season ahead of it and also is de- serving
of student support.
And now that we have more staff we have better organization -
drop over to the gymnasium some day and see the new look.
The optimistic spirit is also heightened by a 30-7 win over
Carleton - the first win in three years for the football Mules. It
was extremely gratifying to see the team in a winning cause and the
new feeling was enjoyed by the handful of fans present. One win
does not a championship make, but it does at least create a bit of
spirit. Before the season is over, there is always McMaster and
O.A.C. around to throw a wrench in things:
There seems to be a better attitude this year. Outwardly it may
not show too much. There are only a handful of fans out at each
~game but at least they are enthusiastic - and we can always hope
for more!
So you see the picture is indeed rosier. It will be the season
of our coming out to prominence. Let there be no sceptics in the
house; you will be sorry, you will.
MAC 13 - WATERLOO 1
For a team that only two years ago was the doormat of the
league, the Waterloo Mules made the MacMaster Marauders fight for
their lives to sneak away with a win in their scheduled Thanks-
giving Day football game.
The improvemem over the first game was really stupendous.
However, the one mistake that decided the game was made un-
fortunately by the Mules.
The blocking of Barrett, Weiler, Tice, Thompson and Ireland on
the front wall enabled the backs to match the Marauders yard for
yard. The powerful running of Red Archer accounted for half of the
Mules 166 yards of rushing. Johnny Enns ran the ends well but seems
to receive no blocking on the secondary. The pass re- ceivers
continue to run no pat- terns (if there are any) and so the passing
is still negligible.
The Mules failed to click inside the 30 yard line after Walt
Arie and Bill Weiler recovered Mat fumbles. The linebacking of
Rosenberg, Weiler and Kurtz was a decided improvement.
GIRLS ATHLETICS On October 8, 195,9, a team
from Waterloo College entered the Track and Field, Tennis,
Archery, Baseball playday *which was held at the University of
Western Ontario. A team, coached by Miss Ann Turner, director of
girls athletics, was composed of: Carol Dietrich, Donna Kelly, Mar-
jorie Smith, Dale Perrin, Joan Rennie, Beth Koch, Janice Ing- lise,
Liz Elmslie, Marg Steele, Ginny Leon, S,andra Brown, Liz Porteous,
Barb MacKay, Brenda Good, Marg Emmerson, Shelley Finson, Joan
Reesor, Helen Young, Mary Ellen1 Campbell and Hannah Mizuno.
The baseball tournament was rained out. Donna Kelly copped a
first, and Carol Dietrich a third, in the dash, but other track
events were won by Western. Archery too was won by Western. How-
ever, the tennis (doubles) tourna- ment was won by Helen Young and
Dale Perrin of Waterloo. All in all, Waterloo made an impres- sive
showing. Congratulations, girls! The next athletic activity will be
basketball. Please watch for further notices.

Y NE By SINBAD BRITTLE
Looks like apathy has a grip on the Freshman Class already.
There wasnt much interest dis- played in the election campaigns.
Only ten per cent of the Frosh attended the speeches made by the
two men who showed enough interest to run for President. What a
contrast to last year! Congratulations to Bruce Lums- den on his
election. Lets hope he gets some support from what is supposedly
the most talented group on campus.
On Thursday of last week one member of this group was giving two
of his friends a tour of the campus he knows so well, (hes been
here three whole weeks!). Deciding that the Mens Dorm was a must,
he led his friends up the stairway to Willisons Hal- lowed Halls.
One of our more considerate residents informed him he was
trespassing. A tub- bing would have been in order, and he may rest
assured that this will be the procedure next time. Take the hint,
dry one, and get lost!
Its good to see that Conrad Hall has a new list of tenants. How-
ever, the females on the campus are still sadly outnumbered. The
overseers of the Girls Dorm had a great time during Initiation Week
using evil smelling potions which must have been stolen from a
Middle-Age alchemist (No, not Harry Southam!) The make- up only
served to enhance the looks of the young ladies . . . . when it was
eventually washed lff; but the supervisor of the Local sewage works
is convinced that someone in the city is using rar
