E N’G I N E W S UNIVERSITY OF WATERLOO WEDNESDAY, 8 JANUARY 1964 ENGINEERING ‘BUILDING High School for the Underpriveleged, we found ourselves staring at Once upon a time when we were all young, immature, naive Engineering students, fresh from the hallowed halls of Secondary a mammonth construction site which soon became the Engineering Building. Now we are all fat, balding, mature, sweaty, drunken En- gineering students who know no more about our building than we did then. This is the story of how the Engineering Building came to be. Douglas Right lay writhing in his bed sheets. He had had a dream. An Engineering Building where no one could find a damn thing. He jumped from his bed and ran a-Shore to see an architect. Unfortunately, he had forgotten to put on his pants and so he design- ed the building himself with his little slide rule to help him. - STAGS m m m eering weekends and mud. These functions have probably been some of the most successful events ever-to hit the place and probably always Stags, more formally termed, Tech- nical Sessions, have become as much will be. of a tradition around here as Engin- ’ “The building is finished,” said one, “Yup, I think she’s finished,” said another. “I definitely have to agree with you,” said the foreman. “We’re all through building the Building.” Soon the band of trusty constructioners began to start the build- ing and when they had finished, they were through. - BRIDGE - Last week, the University of Wat- of their hands won the tourney quite xloo bridge team took on a team handily.

The first organized school stag was back in 1959 and frankly it was so long ago I don’t remember much about it. Come to think of it I didn’t remember much about it the day af- ter. The 2nd Annual Technical Session was, I recall, a wild, wild one. Dur- ing the evening someone (I think it was Prof. Ed. Bounsall) discovered that the coefficient of friction be- tween mashed salami and terazzo was remarkably low. The result - a bee- you-to-ful 50 foot long area to prac- tice skiing. Apparently the landlord didn’t approve and warned if the slide for life didn’t stop he’d phone the local constabulary. Some bright young Engineering student, not to have his fun thwarted, sneaked out- side and neatly snipped the telephone wires - so ended Tech. session No. 2. The third, and perhaps the best, was held at the Bridgeport Casino. Due to the popularity of boat races at past affairs, the Class of ‘64 de- cided to organize the event. So came the inauguration of the official Class of ‘64 boat race trophy. A cov- eted prize indicative of supremacy in the fine art of beer drinking. The outcome of the race that year, was the Class of 66 won (beating class of ‘64 by 4/10 of a second) by downing ten beers in 3 7.0 seconds. The only casualty of the evening was a fellow fondly called ‘Schmidty’ (the proprietor). When he decided to ban the showing of nature films at his place, he drew from his clients several resounding choruses of “The Landlord is a Jolly Good Fellow” and a few rounds of glass projectiles. Looking back, the stag must have been a success as Schmidty claimed $140.00 for property damages. The most recent stag - Technical Session No. 4, again witnessed the ever popular boat race. The Class of 64 undaunted by the previous years defeat proved beyond doubt that they were indeed the champions of the boat race. Putting away 10 beers in record time of 3 1.4 seconds they easily beat all competition. The en- “Yes sir, we started her and now she’s all built,” said some clod, probably a Civil Engineer. “Oh, my God, what have they done?” someone whispered. “What hath God Rot?” said Doctor Hagey. It was the Engineering building! (Please no fanfare necessary.) Then, everyone left and left the Building as you see it today, with perfectly symmetrical features. Last week, however, Doctor Hagey discovered something strange. His Rotary pin was missing! Horror of horrors! “We’ll get it for you,” said one enterprising lad. Then, he and his friends began taking the Building apart, a very easy thing to do if you know how. Piece by piece, (secretary by secretary), bit by bit, they took it apart until it was in the stage you see it in the picture. But they couldn’t find the pin. Douglas Right turned over in his bed. He was having another nightmare. sueing sing song, card parties and roar from the direction of the Grand crap games brought to close the last River Golf Club, don’t be concerned. Engineering Stag.
