Club Notices - Psychology Club

On Monday, November 28 the Psychology Club will have as its guest speaker Mr. Fred Snyder, head of the Guidance Department of the K-W Collegiate & Vocational School. He will speak on the place of the psychologist in schools with emphasis on the growing demand for proof of written qualifications for guidance department person- nel. Come out and hear this interesting speaker in C-134 at 7.00.

German Club

The German Club held its first meeting on Monday, November 14, at the home of Dr. Syek, on 199 Erb Street, in Waterloo. This was an evening of singing and dancing and a good time was had by the more than 40 students who attended. Re- freshments were provided and there were facilities for chess and checker playing (provided that the partiei- pants used German invee- tives on their opponents).

Future meetings will be announced soon.

Mr. J. S. Duncan

Visits University

On Tuesday, November 22, the 50th anniversary of the development of Hydro Electric Power in Waterloo was observed. Mr. J. S. Duncan, chairman of the Ontario Hydro Commission was in town to celebrate the event and to deliver a speech at a public dinner in the evening.

During the day Mr. Dun- can was a visitor at the University. The reason for his visit can be explained by the fact that at the outset of the co-operative engineering plan, he was one of the men consulted as to its possibility.

A director and organizer of the Industrial Foundation of Education, he has backed the plan wholeheartedly since its beginning and it is en- couraging to see the interest which he has expressed.

I put in 8 hours today! You expect me to work too!

Stop smiling. Don’t you have enough work to do?

Today counts. To hell with tomorrow!

Big brother is watching you!

STELLAR ENERGY

It has been theorized and largely established that the energy of the sun and stars results from nuclear trans- formations. The theory of their structure gives one to believe that the temperature within them is of the order of fifty million degrees Fah- renheit. At these exceedingly high temperatures, atomic nuclei move with sufficiently high velocities that oeeasion- ally they eome in close eon- tact and give rise to a nuclear reaction. The actual average energy of the atomic nucleus inside the sun is only two to three thousand volts. This is rather low compared with energies usually found in the atomic nuclei. If the kinetic energy in the sun were as high as the kinetic energy of some protons or alpha-particles (produced on earth), then nuclear reactions would probably go to eom- pletion in a very short time and the sun would explode, rather than produce energy at a steady rate. The small kinetic energy of nuclei in the sun has the consequence that nuclear reactions take billions of years to go to completion and hence the long life of the sun.

There is apparently only

one series of reactions with the right conditions which can account for the energy production of the sun and most of the known stars. These reactions are the following:

It will be noted that as a result of the series four hydrogen nuclei have dis- appeared and one helium nucleus has been formed. The original carbon nucleus has been reproduced at the end of the reactions. Apart from the energy released in gamma-rays and kinetic energy, the net reaction can be written.

Hydrogen and helium seems to be the most abundant constituents of the sun. The building up of the helium nucleus release more energy per unit mass than any other type of nuclear reactions. Thus this mechanism em- ploys the most abundant materials in the sun in the most effective matter.

In practical application by man, the problem seems to be to produce temperatures sufficiently high to favour this reaction without having the container melt.

VOLUME 1 WATERLOO, ONTARIO, T URSDAY, NOV 24 NUMBER 3

For the past few years the zollege and the University lave had a Christmas Ban- ruet together. This annual ;anquet”provided an oppor- ;unity fo& the students and staff -(academic and admini- strative), and close friends, ;o have an enjoyable evening Jogether.

This year the University If Waterloo is having its own Christmas Banquet, sponsor- ?d by the Students’ Council 2nd supported by students 2nd administration. All stud- ?nts, teachers, and admini- strative staff are invited to &tend the banquet with, or without, a date (or wife or nusband) .

Because it is felt that the Christmas Banquet should be one of the most important social events of the university year, such highlights as 3 procession by the Glee Club snd waiters, dinner music by Mr. Berg, and address by Mr. W. H. Fowler, a presentation of “The Passing Out” ceremony by one of our students, a gift exchange among faculties, a short mu% ieal programme by the Glee Clue, aid carol singing by everyone? have h?en $anned. Although the presentation of the programme contributes much td the sueeess of the banquet, a great deal of its sueeess is dependent on the persons who attend. There- fore you are encouraged to obtain your tickets now from the Business Office on the second floor or from your class representative. The banquet will be held at the Seagram Gymnasium on Wednesday, December 7, 1960, at 6.30 p.m. The dinner is priced at $1.50 per plate.

P. BERG, P-226 LET’S MAKE THIS A REAL EFFORT

ANTIPATHY and DELIGHT I gather from the jam-

packed nature of the libraries these days that more than the usual number of our sometime - serious student body have decided that now is the time when all serious- minded hopefuls must come up with a respectable aea- jemie effort, or face the embarrassing results. There- Tore - do you not feel that It would be advantageous to all concerned to put a stop to the constant chatter- ing of voices heard in these dens of concentrat- ed thought, even at the risk of establishing a respectable atmosphere therein? But, you say, “I have problems to do.” Who, my Friend, is going to help you solve those problems on the day of judgment?

I’m sure the Registrar’s Office could supply elass- rooms for any students de- termined to collaborate in solving their problems.

Highlights of the speech from the throne read at the opening of Parliament in Ottawa (last Thursday) in- eluded : “Legislation to au- thorize C.M.H.C. loans to universities for student resi- dences. Called the loeal C.M.H.C. Branch Office, but they have heard nothing as yet. They informed me that the current rate on Limited Dividend Loans is 5sY,, with up to 50 years to pay. Doubtless, the rate would be lowered somewhat, so a tip of the hatlo to J. D. and company for their eonsidera- tion.

Noting that the food quality as at a new all time high in the cafeteria. It was only a couple of weeks ago that it was a chore to work up an appetite over what was being offered. It is hoped that the latest high standards will be maintained.

It is just unfor- ;unate that there are some noisy individuals on the eam- 3us who are in the habit of naking much talk while doing little work on behalf of the University. Sueh persons would do well to question themselves as to whether they object to the spending of Society funds or if it is not simply a matter of hurt pride that they have not been invited.

PRIDE ‘is not making a fool of yourself.

The University Cafeteria continues to function with insuffieient cooking f aeili ties while the faculty enjoy a separate lunch room. This new room, I understand, will officially be for faculty only, thus giving the other small lunch room back to the students for whom it was originally intended. It will no longer b e necessary for the faculty to protect their domain through angry scowls directed at approaching students. Possibly next year or the year after, money will be provided so .that il l food might be cooked and kept hot under one roof.

. . Once upon a time when L L = o there lived in a small

cavity in a dielectric medium a poor struggling dipole by the name of EDDY Current. He was deeply in love with a beautiful coil by the name of ANN ION., the daughter of an influential force in the town, CAT ION.

EDDY’S first contact. with her came at a time t = a. As he passed by a beauty parlor in his periodic orbit, he saw her having a standing wave induced in her filaments. He made a fine sight in his beautiful doublet and it was a ease of mutual polarization. “You Shock Me” By a coincidence they met at a dissipation function of the following night. After a few oscillations to the strains of a number (m) played to MO Mentum and his Incan- descent Tuning Forks, the couple diffused into the field outside.

“Gauss ANN,” he said, “You’re acute angle; I am (d) termined that U shall marry for I sphere that I shall never be happy without you.”

“Oh, Eddy,“. she replied, “don’t be so obtuse. Inte- grate out here in the alpha rays tonight?”

“ANN, are you trying to damp my osculation? Can’t you see I’m in a state of hysteresis over you?” He Can’t Resistol:

“Now Eddy, be a discrete particle. What will father say?”

Alas there was also in this cavity a mean dipole who was resolved to marry the beautiful ANN using eoer- eive force if necessary. Hear- ing these murmerings of love, he went to Pi-i’d with fury, and crept stealthily upon the couple with velocity v, his joules drooling with the best- ial erg that moved him.

“What the infra red are you doing here you flat- footed vial villain?” demand- ed Eddy. The situation grew tensor. The Vector

Schmidt advanced to choke the beautiful coil : Eddy offered resistance R; his capacity C for absorbing the charge Q was low and Schmidt suf- fered little lost work content in knocking him out to infinity with a severe blow on his-negative charge. Eddy made a quick comeback with acceleration a, stripping off Schmidt’s out.er elections. This so upset the villian’s Cont’d on Page 4

etters to the Editor GENTLEMEN

Sir : GENTLEMEN!

What price must we, the student body of this university, pay in undergoing the pains of developing into a respectable, organized group of individuals?’ I refer speei- fically to the barbaric ex- hibition put on at last Satur- day’s closing football game by a sizeable representation of our members. I do not feel that our untamed friends were entirely to blame (eon- sidering that the opposition’s supporters were also fired up ~ righteously so), but we did initiate the hard-feelings by constant chiding and lack of respect, and hence this letter.

May I outline my suggestions for proper conduct in the future.

(1) Have our students sit in a section of their own, all together, to coordinate cheer- ing and avoid the ill-effects of jeering and harassing the opposing supporters.

(2) To attempt whole- hearteely to follow the eheer- leaders in a mueh more orderly fashion. In this respect we were sadly outdone. I feel the cheerleaders deserve an apology for the lack of support shown for their enthusiastic efforts.

(3) To never again stoop so low as running on the field during the pre-game or half-time performance of a visiting school. The O.A.C. band had obviously spent many hours practising their music and routines, and eer- tainly did not deserve to have their performance impinged upon by a horde of un- thoughtful Waterloo Engin- eers. If the individuals eon- eerned were interested in participating in the half-time show, surely we are entitled to half the time allotted, if our show warrants such eon- sideration.

(4) To refrain from such childish tricks as attempting to remove band members hats, supposedly for souven- irs. There are surely more effective and more intelligent capers that can be executed.

These feelings are personal - derived from attending many Intercollegiate sport- ing events. I hope they are shared by others interested in developing a respectable student body here.

PIPE ANYONE!

Dear Sir: In the column headed

“Arts and Science Editorial” of your issue of November 16th, there appeared a re- mark which I could not help but notice, and would not let pass unrebutted. In a brief attempt at flippancy, your Arts editor derides a noble pastime - the fine art of pipe-smoking. He can be excused for failing to appreciate the merits of this hobby, but his implication that there is nothing to appreciate is clearly out of Drder. Permit me to explain, For his benefit and that of Dther unbelievers, the very real merits of pipe-smoking.

The mere physical aspects 3f pipe-smoking are enough to render insignificant the small trouble it entails. A pipe is something substantial to occupy the hands. In those frequent instances when you are at a loss for words, the mere act of producing the

pipe and poueh, filling the pipe, and lighting it, gives you a chance to think, while you appear much wiser than you are.

Yet there are vast mental even spiritual, experiences to be gained from a pipe. Words seem inadequate to express the satisfaction you can gain from a short time spent ensconced in a comfortable chair, with nothing but a favourite briar and a pouch of good mixture for company. There must be something in the clouds of fragrant smoke which banishes all harmful thoughts, and permits only pleasant reflections to re- main. The sweet. taste of tobacco arouses the mind to scale greater heights of wis- dom, to plumb greater depths of understanding, and you emerge from this seance with the Muses refreshed in mind and body.

I hope these few para- graphs cleared away some of the misunderstanding which has surrounded our group. Perhaps I have even won a few converts. In any ease I am grateful for the chance to try to put into words the pleasure I derive from smoking a pipe.

Don Curran, Science I

NQ INTEREST? Dear Sir:

Dear Mr. Editor: It was most surprising to

me that a student wished to know what had happened to the school paper after only one edition had come out. Even if the sentiments expressed by Mr. Root had been logical, one edition hardly constitutes a trend in the format of a student newspaper.

Mr. Root complained that the paper had become “very important and very proper.” Besihes the fact that these statements were not sub- stantiated, they seem to be rather odd complaints to make against one’s own student newspaper.

Mr. Root went on to explain the reason for the existence of a school paper. The Board of Publications, which authorizes the Cory- phaeus, says that the purpose of the paper is “to present students’ views to the student, to encourage personal expression and stimulate or- ininal thought and to provide a source of information for campus news.” Therefore, if Mr. Root still feels that the purpose of the paper is not to inform, he had better try to convince the Board of Publications of that.

As for attempting to “an unwanted cultural standard” it should be pointed out that the Coryphaeus prints all the copy possible that it receives from the students at large.

The volume of response to the first edition was enough to nullify Mr. Root’s “bet.” A lot more than ten people expressed opinions.

Mr. Root seemed to be taking exception to a great deal about the paper. Why didn’t he join the staff if he knew so much abou lishing a newspaper?

21 November, 1960 The Editor, The CORYPHAEUS, University of Waterloo. Dear Sir:

In the Nov. 16th issue of the Coryphaeus I read with amusement a letter by Mr. John Root eritieizing this paper for what he called, “beComing drunk with its own power .”

Certainly the first issue left much to be desired. However, this was by no means due to lack of effort by the paper staff. The blame rests only on people similar to Mr. Root who would rather reap the benefits of others’ labour, do nothing themselves, and when the benefits are not up to their expectations critieize those who have put forth an honest effort. (

Criticism is good when it has just cause and is eon- struetive, but I say to all the “Mr. Roots”; “Please save your criticism until you hon- estly feel that you have done your part to make things as they should be.”

Sincerely yours, Paul Koch,

Publication of the Cory- phaeus has presented a very interesting problem. It is financially impossible for the Arts and Science students to support this paper alone, and at the present time, the Engineering Society cannot support this paper.

After obtaining a copy of the Constitution of The Uni- versity of Waterloo Engin- eering Society, which is kept under lock and key, I would like to refer to this doeu- ment :

Article X (4) “The official engineering paper shall be called the which . . .”

‘%nginews”

Article XIII (1) “Notice of any amendment to this Constitution must be given at general meeting T . . This Constitution mav then be amended by & two-thirds vote at separate meetings of the Winter- Summer and Spring-Fall Societies.” Both articles are perfectly

clear. It is also perfectly clear that the members of the Executive Committee have disregarded these articles. I can only conclude that paying any part of the cost of publication of the Cory- phaeus is unconstitutional . and should stop.

E I also believe that the

xeeutive Commit tee sh .ould once again read the Con- stitution, and reflect on some of its past decisions which were probably made in haste.

John Root, 2BEE

The Coryphaeus is not an Engineering Society production. The Engineering Society constitution is available in all libraries. Members of the ‘executive committee’ of the Board of Publications are in no way subject financially or constitutionally to any other society on campus. Their funds come directly from student fees to administration. Letters of this calibre will not, in the future, be printed.-Ed.

W.HITHER KENYA? It is obvious from their

letters that they did at least glance at my article “This Freedom”; published in the November 4 issue. May I thank them for showing their mutual interest and if only for their benefit, point out that this article was intended not as a report of any de- scription but only as a personal opinion. This opinion being based on the fact that I was born and brought up in Kenya. Having lived there until a year ago and being able to converse with the natives in their own universal language ~ Swahili ~ I consider that possibly my opinion of the situation is a fraction more accurate than say, for lack of a better example, that. formed by an overseas political science lec- turer from statistical facts obtained in literature which is out of date by at least five or six years.

It is a most unpleasant fact that African leaders and African members of the Leg- islative Council, the very men whom the Secretary of State is proposing to hand over controlling power, are supporting Jsmo Kenyatta. They named him as potential chief minister of Kenya- and elected him on the 15th of May, 1960, as president of the recently formed Kenya African National Union. It is essential that you readers be introduced to him and this can be done most easily by taking a glimpse at the movement he led, the Mau Mau.

The original aim of the Mau Mau, as expressed in the oaths of membership, was secretly to unite, discipline, and foster political uncon- sciousness amongst the Ki- kiyu Tribe, with the ultimate object of satisfying the political aspirations of its leaders, of whom Kenyatta was chief, if necessary by force.

As Mau Mau campaign gained strength the advocat- or of violence came to the fore, the terms of the oath were amended. Men were made to swear to commit murder when ordered to do so, to steal all they could from the Europeans, to drive the Europeans from the country and to worhsip no leader other than Jomo Ken- yatta.

Apart from these basic oaths, versions were adopted to meet the needs of the terrorist campaign. For in- stance the “Batuni” oath binds a man to burn Euro- pean crops and to kill Euro- pean-owned catt.le: to steal firearms: to kill anyone when ordered to do so, even his own father or brother; when killing, to cut off heads, extract the eyeballs and drink the liquid from them!

The effect of these terrible oaths is only too apparent from the list of atrocities committed by the Mau Mau; the Hari massacre when hun- dreds of Kikuyu were mur- dered; the mutilation of vie- tims; torture before murder; the exhumation of bodies and eating the putrified flesh.

Chief Luka’s child was cut in half, its blood drunk, the two halves of the body were flung at the mother who was then killed. Live, pregnant women were split open along the abdomen, while other victims were held down while their heads were slowly sawn Off.

Promotion of the terrorist zangs involved taking an- Ither oath; the higher the -ank the more ruthless the lath. Some involved ritual cannibalism in which human 3rains, menstrual discharges Lnd urine figured. Other laths necessitated sexual in- lercourse with the organs of Lnimals, both men and wom- ?n going through such rituals.

This short account of what Kenya’s peoples have suffer- ?d at the hands of the Mau MIau will, I hope, suffice to convince your readers that the cult was not a noble, rationalistic movement, but represented the very depths Df depravity. It is something that must not happen again.

Unfortunately, the Mini- ster of Defense found it necessary to state in the Legislative Council on May 5, 1960, during the budget debate, that elements of Mau Mau had once more made themselves evident in areas of Kenya; so the monster is not dead. It still constitutes a terrible threat to human decencies in Kenya. I trust that your readers will form their own opinions of such men as Kenyatta, and will ask themselves: “It is un- reasonable that decent men and women of all races are appalled at this idea of i;;;;?,, passing into such

. It should be understood

that we in Kenya do not seek to put the clock back, but insist on decency and justice. Also that which the African people need is stabil- ity, education and a higher standard of living. They will not get that is a so-called, “democracy”, which will in- evitably lead t,o the dictator- ship democracy is designed to avoid - and a dictator- ship too of those who defy the wretch responsible for so much misery, bloodshed and degradation.

When an African elected member states in the Legis- lative Council debate that, if the Africans in Kenya want barbarism, they shall have it, it makes one wonder if H.M.G. is ignorant of the situation in Kenya, or that African nationalism is alto- gether healthy for anyone of any race in Kenya.

I fail to see how a person who has never set foot in Kenya, especially at the time of the Mau Mau can say that “the world press gave the fullest possible coverage to the Mau Mau uprising.” Did Mr. Qualter know the entire movements and endless lists of atrocities committed by the Mau Mau? What author- ity has he to say that the press gave the fullest coverage and is he of the opinion that these so-called “full coverages” were the unbiased truth? If as he says the Hola incident involving a few lun- atics received far less pub- licity than the Mau Mau, involving thousands of people, how is it that he recalls it well enough, (a) to make t.his statement and (b) to say it was not all “unfavour- able to British interests?”

I thank Mr. Qualter for referring me to Galatians 3:25-29, however, I find no excuse contained therein for such atrocities as these of the Mau Mau; which in themselves are evidence of the decline in Christianity. Does he, when attributing the violence in the Congo to “total lack of preparation for

The third one is a miser- able rugger player and suffers Erom chronic inflammation of the ego. I suggest that he rename his column “Dear Sadist” and try to be more subtle in the future - if he can.

Dear J. J. Ann

I must say that I ap- peeiate the compliment but I do not play rugger. I am however on the newspaper staff.

Subtlety must be aban- doned occasionally when dealing with the truth. The truth sometimes hurts - which is apparent from your letter.

Dear George : The situation is really

getting out of hand. It is still almost a month or maybe even a week before the exams, and already the boys are (apparently) too busy to wash their dishes.

What! Buy paper dishes you advise me? Get some girls to do it for you? No. Neither would do. Paper dishes would soon create a fire and health hazard in our apartment, while girls would be a constant hazard to our china. Not to speak of our- selves.

George, I am desperate. I am eating as a Cannibal now; besides I can’t live on bread alone.

Dear Subtle: Subtle

Ask the girls over but treat them like the situation - don’t let them get out of hand.

Dear George: I am in second year engin-

eering. I recently dated a young lady from the Univer- sity, who from the first conversations expressed her deep dislike for “necking parties.” The thing that eon- fuses me, George, is that when at a party she’s always the first one to jump up and turn out all the lights.

As to my use of a mode of diction, a point stressed by both Mr. Stone and Mr. Qualter, I think I have good cause to be emotional and may perhaps this time com- pletely silence my so-called “guilty conscience,” by send- ing a chill shiver down their spine rather than tugging at their “heart-strings.”

I hope the above will clarify the confusions as to what basis I used for my opinion in “This Freedom” and fortunately, we are all entitled to our own opinions.

TO FRED and OTHERS

Many people who have not already done so, think that Eoming to University is a wonderful opportunity to begin a long and jolly drinking career. After all, why not start drinking while you are here, it’s practically traditional on any campus: beers at the local grog shop throlgh the week, a gay yet subtle passing of flasks and crocks at the football games with incredulous cries of “Hey Charlie! are you really drinking Pepsi straight?” winding things up on a Saturday night at your friends apartment by really getting smash- ed. It’s all tradition. Don’t forget the prestige on Mon- day morning when you tell the boys how you really tied one on over the week-end. Great fun, traditional too.

I realize that many, perhaps the majority in this school are of an age where they can legally take a drink, but for those who are not, this is to give you a vague idea on how Kitchener-Wat- erloo attemps to curb under age drinking.

Let us take the ease of a hypothetical student called Fred. After Fred has been picked up at “the C----- Room” by a member of the local constabulary, he is taken to the magistrate’s court where he is charged. He is open to two charges: one as a found in and the other for consumption. Both these are punishable by a minimum’ fine of ten dollars for cazch charge, however the actual punishment is left to the discretion of the individual magistrate. This lecturing and fining has proved of little value in the past. Fred is acutely ashamed - for a couple of days after which he jumps back onto the merry-go-round, only more cautiously this time. A new more effective policy is being followed by one magistrate and I hope his example will be followed by others. Be- sides fining Fred, he gives him a sheaf of questions and a book. The questions are pertinent to drinking and the book is to help Fred write his fifteen hundred word essay on “The evils of the grape” or some other similar topic. I think this method is vastly superior to the other because besides the fine which hurts Fred financially, this essay will bring to Fred certain facts on drinking which he can’t help but absorb. The time allotted to the essay depends on Fred, with a month being allowed for its completion. Should Fred take this lightly I believe there is an addi- tional punishment imposed.

This is not an attempt to preach or to begin a crusade, it is merely a piece of information specifically relevant to only a few and of only passing interest to the majority of the students. I might add here that some of this article is based on second hand information and is bound to have one or two inaccuracies so any criticisms or comments or corrections submitted by any experienced types in Engineering would be more than welcome.

A Letter to my Modder Deer Madder,

Yu has ben alking me hou I yem doin in the Univereity of Waterlu. I haf bin giving dat question much thot. I didnt know how to tell you about how proud I yem to be hier.

We are divided into three grups: the inteligunt, the more inteligunt and the most inteligunt. The inteligunt are zalled the Enginirs becaus they needs dictioneris to reed, so our Arts edditer ses. The more inteligunt is nam- ?d so because they t,akes seince. I dunno what thet is yet. The comes the most inteligunt : the Artsmen, they don’t need no dietioneries to reed comicology books. I yem proud to be an Artsmen becaus our edditer is a man who knows the eandian Mon- etary Policy, who is a big men. I am glad thet entrenee averages are not concidered in classifying us into thiese groups, because we needs only sixty perzent to be Artsmen and Enginirs only sixty-for perzent to belong to group one.

I must tel you about our edditorial artikle of this week -Its highly eddieational. It has saying of many famus men. But I must confes thet I yem a little eonfoozed as to what he sais I should think. Maybe, Modder you can help me to understand wat all them high gentlemen wants to say to me at et oneet. It must be very importent, for it was writen in the w; aine edditorial.

Yew likly hav ben won- dering what paper I yem talking about. It’s our new Univercity paper. Everybody says its verry good because its ealled the Coryphaeus and is printet on verry expensiv paper. What dos Coryphaeus mean, Modder? It even has an artikl from an importent company, the Squatt & Leav- itt Co. Ltd. It sounds very eddicational and high fal- ootin.

I gess I must stop now since I hav a klass in a few minuts.

To the Engineers: It has been brought to my

attention that a controversy has arisen over a piece of business concerning the motion that :

“spending power of $100 maximum be given the Grey and Gold for the purpose of holding a party for those individuals who are Engin- eering Society reps or Eecu- tive and invited guests.”

This motion was passed unanimously by the twenty or so representatives who were present. Before voting there was a good deal of discussion on the motion as to the purpose of such a “party” and its reception by the student body. It was also pointed out that the reps were voting for their classes, not for their personal feelings. Two main purposes appeared to be served . . . it would

1. help to arouse interest among the students in their Engineering Society and perhaps ease the trouble we run into each year at nomination time finding people willing to serve on the Executive, and

2. be a small token of appreciation to the reps and others for the work they have done, both now and in the past, to make the En- gineering Society the power that it is on campus.

It was also defined in this discussion that “invited guests” would be all those people who were felt to have helped the Engineering Soe- iety in some way or a,nother ~ both now and in the past. The Executive, who were given the power to compile the list of “invited guests” were to be open to suggestions from the entire Engin- eering Student Body.

NOW, I feel sure we all feel that these ladies and gentle-

men who devote their time to the Eng. Sot. should re- ceive an indication of appreciation. It has been suggested that pins be given the reps, etc. Lack of a faculty crest prohibits this at the moment. Another student thought a dinner would be in order.

Both these suggestions would run a larger cost than the presently proposed get- together. Further conerning the financial side, it might be pointed out that the Grey and Gold did not request spending power of such a large amount. I have since been assured that the final costs will be much less than half this amount.

As the elected president of the Engineering Society I back up the decisions of the elected voting representatives - your representatives ~ and say that a token of appreciation to t.he reps is in order and that, unfortunately, it is necessary to arouse interest among the engineers in their Engineering Society. I feel that an informal get- gether of this type is the best method of answering these problems at this time.

In closing I hope that this letter has cleared the air of the wild rumours that have been abounding and I hope your elected representatives will have your full support in this and all other matters of your Engineering Society. Without this support we cannot serve you.

Yours faithfully, Nick Hathway, President

Engineering Society, University of Waterloo

Intramural Sports are now in full swing.

Last week in basketball, Science defeated Engineering 2A by the score of 27 to 24. The game between Engineering I and Arts was won by default by the Engineers because the Arts team failed to turn up at the game.

In hockey last week, Engineering 1 defeated Engineer- ing 2 by the score of 4 - 2, and the combined team of En- gineering 3 and Science eked out a 4 - 3 win over the Pre- Engineers.

A MEMORY

Did I hear you asking stranger

Why I sit here, quiet and

I m remembering the da?$? 7 *

of danger When I lost my old pal Bill. Let me try to paint a picture

Of a spirit reckless, gay: Of a scrappy little Scotsman,

That’s my buddy, Bill MaeKay.

He was happiest when out working,

Never flinging under fire, For you see, he was a lineman

And his job was stringing wire.

Now I used to laugh to hear him

Curse with fluent ease, In a high pitched bark

that sounded Like a chippy Pekingese.

We’d gone out about midmorning

To repair a broken line, And returning to camp to

stretch out On our beds ‘till dinner time. We didn’t get the usual

warning, Where it came from

none can say, But “That shell from out

of nowhere” Got my buddy Bill

MaeKay.

Still my thoughts will ever drift

To Cormelles and my buddy On July the twenty-fifth.

Sorry I bored you stanger, But I am feeling blue

tonight, For I see a field of poppies

And a cross so small and white.
