Booth of Lakehead University at Thunder Bay.Ontario, the heads of six institutions of higher learning formally ratified the Lake Superior Association of Colleges and Universities. The institutional heads attending the meeting were: President Booth of Lakehead University; President Robert Lovett of Mount Senario College in Ladysmith, Wisconsin; President Malcolm McLean of Northland College in Ashland, Wisconsin; President F. X. Shea of the College of St. Scholastica in Duluth, Minnesota; Provost Raymond W. Darland of the University of Minnesota, Duluth and Chancellor Karl W. Meyer of the University of Wisconsin-Superior. Other participants at the meeting were: Dr. W. D. R. Eldon; Dr. Charles Twining; Professor Douglas Lemons; Sister Mary Odile Cahoon; Dr. Robert L. Heller; Dr. David A. Vose, Dr. John Haugland. Collaboration among the six institutions, three private, three public, which are located in Wisconsin, Minnesota and the Province of Ontario, has existed for some time. Institutional heads have met during the past year on five different occasions and the action taken today comes as the culmination of an extended preparation. The resolution embodying the aims of the Association adopted by the six Presidents and Chancellors reads as follows: "The purpose of the Associatioo is to further the capabi I iti es of its member i nstitutions 'in meeting the regional, national and international needs for higher education and research through sharing and cooperative development of resources." The six institution;! executives wi 11 constitute the Board of Directors of the Lake Superior Association of Colleges and Universities. They agreed to a rotating chairmanship and elected President F. X. Shea of the College of St. Scholastica to fill this post initially. One of the first priorities for the new Association wi 11 be to seek the services of an Executive D irect9r who wi 11 implement a variety of cooperative ventures which the separate faculties will propose through the Steering Committee. "The fundamental idea is to create the intellectual excitement and the breadth of research services needed in the Lake Superior region," said President Shea in his announcement of the Association's inauguration. "None of us feel capable of serving these aims alone to the extept they deserve. In the present state of political and ,financial support for higher education cooperation becomes a necessity to OCTOBER 27, 1972 achieve the scope that our situation here in the Lake Superior region calls for. For this reason we are breaking new ground and we feel that the potential effects of this can be both large and long lasting." Achievement Recognized Harry D. Elmslie, associate professor in the School of Business Administration at Lakehead University, has returned from study leave at the University of Illinois in Urbana - Champaign. While on leave, Professor Elmslie completed the course work for a doctorate in accountancy ,achievinga grade poi nt average of 4.8 out of a possible 5.0. As a result of his academic performance, he was asked to join Beta Alpha Psi, the national scholastic honorary in accountancy in the United States, a body composed of the top ten percent of accountancy graduates in the counProfessor Elmslie try. Professor Elmslie joined the School of Business Administration in 1965 as its founding chairman. He holds an honours bachelor of arts degree in business administration from Waterloo Lutheran University, a master of business administration degree from York University and is a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Ontario. For Prospective M.D. 's Application packages for entrance to McMaster Medical School for the 1973 session are available in the Dean of Students Office. The McMaster Medical Team visited Lakehead University October 12. In case you missed that meeting, McMaster offers a special program, available to applicants with university degrees of good standing, and with persona I qua I ities required for the practice of General Medicine. Further information and application material can be obtained through the Office of the Dean of Students. Elected To Board On October 11, 1972, Mr. Donald Ayre, Secretary of Lakehead University, announced the result of the Senate election of a Senate representative to the Board of Governors. Dr. George K. Fleming, Chairman of the School of Engineering, was elected for a three-year term. �Philanthropist Recognized The founding Chancellor of Lakehead University was honoured recently at Carleton University in Ottawa. The fol lowing write-up appeared in the October 13 issue of This Week Times Two. "At a special luncheon on October 6, Senator Norman McLeod Paterson was honoured for his gift of $25,000 to the Institute of Soviet and East European Studies for student support. Each year for five years $5,000 will be available in fellowships for students working towards their master's degree in the Institute. Introducing Senator Paterson, Professor P. E. Uren, Director of the Institute, expressed Carleton's gratitude, noted the Senator's many other generosities to Carleton and also mentioned that "Senator Paterson probably lives closer to the Russians than any one else here; his garden backs on the Soviet Embassy." Senator Paterson, in his remarks, noted that he was "happy to be able to contribute to higher education now. I had little opportunity for such study when I was young." The Senator also entertained the luncheon with many stories including "The New Year's Eve the Soviet Embassy Burned Down." A prominent_Canapian industriali~t and businessman, Senator Paterson has a long connection with Carleton. He joi·ned Carleton's Board of Governor's in 1947 and served unti I 1968. A grant from Senator Paterson enabled the School of International Affairs to be established at Carleton in 1966. In 1957 he chaired the building and development campaign for Carleton and again served as honorary chairman of the Carleton University campaign for funds in 1965. Senator Paterson's own gift to the University helped to build the first arts building, Norman Paterson Hal I. In 1959 he received an honorary degree from Carleton." Campus Notes •Mr. J. H. Kelleher, Assistant Professor with the Faculty of Education has completed his oral examination at the University of North Dakota and will receive his PhD degree in Teacher Education on December 17, 1972. The topic of his thesis was "A Comparison of Three Groups of Elementary Teacher Trainees' Conceptual and Philosophical Orientations". •Mr. L. L. Korteweg, also an Assistant Professor with the Faculty of Education completed his oral examination towards a PhD degree in Educational Administration, University of Alberta. He will receive his PhD degree in November of this year. His thesis was entitled, "A Decade of Social Studies Curriculum Development in Alberta". •Walter Crowe of the School of Business Administration, was recently invited to address the Purchasing Management Association of Canada ( Northwestern Ontario District). His topic was: "A Method of Effective Vendor Rating", explaining how a systematic, scientific approach could improvethe relationship between the Materials Managerand the supplier. •Professor S. S. Kaplan of the Department of Political Studies has been invited to become a Fellow of the Inter-University Seminar on Armed Forces and Society. This exclusive group is composed of those with a specialized research interest in the relationship of the armed forces and society. •Dr. J. Donald Wilson of the Department of History has· been invited to read a paper at the Seventh Annual Northern Great Plains History Conference to be held this year at the University of Manitoba October 20 - 21. The paper is entitled "No blanket to be worn in school': Indian education in Upper Canada." Through this paper, Dr. Wilson attempts to show that the earliest methods of educating Indians in Canada were designed to deliberately suppress Indian culture and replace it with British and colonial outlooks and customs. Dr. Wi Ison wi 11 thus represent Canada in a session of the Conference entitled "The Education of lndi ans in North America". A professor from Georgetown University wi 11 represent the American point of view on the same topic. Extension News Residents of Kenora and Dryden, enrolled in the extension sections of Geography 3a6 being offered in those communities, travelled to Thunder Bay on two weekends during October to participate in intensive field studies in the city. Members of the Geography staff, Davies, Martin, and Batey, collaborated in introducing the students to basic elements of the urban environment not found in smaller communities. Three members of the Geography Department, Dr. Phillips, Dr. Davies, and Mr. Martin, attended a dinner given by the Northwestern Ontario Geography Teachers' Association. A lecture on the Canadian Arctic was delivered by Mr. Dan Langi I le, a geography graduate of Lakehead University, who served as an education officer for two years in the northern Yukon. �sion. In the afternoon they met in smaller disciplinegroups. Enrolment Picture Enrolment at Ontario's colleges of applied arts and technology is continuing to increase while university enrolment is levelling off, according to preliminary enrolment data released today by the Hon. Jack McNie, Minister of Colleges and Universities. Full-time post-secondary enrolment figures submitted by the 22 colleges totalled 39,914 an increase of 5,560 or just over 13% above last year's enrolment across the system. Full-time enrolment at Ontario's universities increased by a modest 1% across the system for a total of 133,853 compared with last year's 132,689. Undergraduate enrolment was up 1,722 and graduate enrolment down 559 according to the universities' October submissions. These totals include the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education an~ Ryerson Polytechnical Institute.

About thirty-five biology teachers of the Thunder Bay District used this first get together of the 197273 academic year to establish a plan for further meetings. They decided to meet at least two more times during the school year to listen to lectures from biologists. They are convinced that such meetings wi 11 broaden their interests in biology, and consequently that their students will profit. To initiate the lecture series, Dr. W. Graham of the Lakehead University Biology Department presented a lecture based on his research experiences and the biology lessons that grew out of this research. Opportunity was taken to confirm the mutual desire of the members of the Biology Department and of the high school teachers for a greater crossfertilization of ideas relating to their common field of teaching. Sister Faculties In co-operation with the Royal Commonwealth Society, Professor Lovekin who teaches History Methods in the Lakehead Faculty of Education has made a sister faculty arrangement with his counterpart, Professor Dilks in Leeds University, Great Britain. Professors Dilks and Lovekin are exchanging course outlines. guidlines by the Ministry of Education, bibliographies and in general are seeking to gain new insights into their training of History teachers from the vantage point of different perspectives. COU Exec's On July 1, 1972, a new Executive Committee of the Counci I of Ontario Universities assumed office. President D.

Booth, President of Lakehead University has appointed Dr. J. Donald Wilson of the Department of History as the University's representative responsible for liaison with the Commission on Canadian Studies, announced earlier this year under the Chairmanship of T.H.B. Symons, former President of Trent University . .On June 28, 1972. Louis-Philippe Bonneau, President of the Association of Universities and Colleges of Canada, commented that theCommission was prompted by a growing interest in Canadian studies at Canadian Universities. "The Commission is intended to assist the discussion and to further the development of studies related to Canada by providing accurate informaDr. J.D. Wi Ison tion about the present state of teaching ~nd research in this area, and by directing attention to the possibilities of and needs for new programs in the future." As the liaison representative for the Univer!:-ity. Dr. Wilson has recently completed a Commission questionnaire which outlines data relevant to Canadian course content and its accessibi I ity to students as wel I as faculty research interests relating to Canada.

These figures are based on 1971-72 enrolment statistics. It is likely that the Commission on Canadian Studies wil.l be on campus sometime during this academic year. Members of the University community who may be interested in presenting a brief to the Convnission, or who require further information about the Commission and its objectives, are requested to contact Dr. Wilson at Extension 342. �Committee's Significance Stressed In response to last issue's article relating to fledgling attempts to organize University and community machinery towards the improvement of the lot of native Cahadian people, Dr. William S. Morris requested that the fol lowing be printed, by way of clarification: "Thank you for your kind report on the Committee on Native Peoples in the last issue of L.U. WEEK. I am most grateful. However, the statement that I "deserve credit for single-handedly bringing about this opportunity" is factually inaccurate and evaluation•ally incorrect. From the first I sought and received cooperation from the leaders of the Native organizations, especially the Thunder Bay Friendship Centre and the Ontario MMis and Non-Status Indians Union. In convening the meeting I merely did my duty assigned to me by Senate. The meeting was, in fact, called by me on request of Miss Rosemary Moffitt, and the Indian members of it invited by her. Internally, I received full support from the late Dean Ryan, Vice-President Eldon, Dean Angus, Senate and many others. Without all of this cooperation, what is , at most, an extremely modest beginning in what I hope will grow as a genuine cooperative venture would not have been possible. Senate asked you to bring to pub I ic attention that the Committee would welcome any helpful suggestions from anyone, to make it an effective organ for the accomplishment of its purposes. This invitation is again hereby extended. I am primarily concerned not with my own personal embarassment over the error, but with the sensibilities of the Indian groups and individuals who should have been given the recognition due to them for their full cooperation, interest and initiative." Free Tuition For Dependents · Effective immediately, free tuition is available to the dependents of all ful I-time staff members of Lakehead University. This change in the regulations was announced recently by the president of Lakehead University, Dr. Andrew D. Booth. In the past, free tuition was I imited to ful 1-time staff members and to the dependents of senior staff members. The new regulations also provide for free tuition to be pro-rated for those whose probationary period terminates after the registration date . Further information on the new regulations can be obtained from the Office of the Comptroller. Wheel Blocks No Jokel The University community is reminded of the Traffic and Parking Regulation which states that fines shall be paid within 5 days of the date of the violation ' (Saturdays, Sundays and official University holidays • excluded\. Distinguished Lecturer Dr. Edward Mercy, Chairman of the Geology Department recently announced Or. Neil John McMillan of the Alberta Society of Petroleum Geologists as this year's Distinguished Lecturer. He is employed with the Aquitaine Company of Canada, Ltd., Calagary, Alberta. Or. McMillan delivered a public lecture on "Labrador Sea-Baffin Bay" on Tuesday evening, October 24. In his talk, Or. McMillan explained, in geological terms, why there is a good possibility that there are vast petroleum deposits in the Canadian northeast. The area under discussion approximates one-tenth of the area of Canada's mainland. And the geologic setting makes it a potentially significant frontier area for petroleum exploration. Security Officer Fred Berube Applying Denver Boot The Department of Physical Services is in possession of "wheel blocks" which will be used to immobilize any vehicle on which there are outstanding fines. The owner/ operator assumes all risk and expense for any damage occurring on account of attempting to move a vehicle to which a "wheel block" has been attached. A wheel locking device wi 11 be removed upon payment of a 11 outstanding fines as wel I as payment of a $2.00 fee. It is hoped that fines will be paid within the specified 5 days in order to avoid inconvenience and further expense. �For Ubrary Use o.Jy W88KI~ even~s mee~ings Thursday October 26 -AMS Nite Club "Yukon", Main Cafeteria, 9 p.m. Saturday October 28 Sunday October 29 -Chamber Music Concert, Faculty of Education Auditorium, 8:30 p.m. Free Internal Usage Wednesday November 1 -Intramural Broomball begins.

Don Watson, Manager of Academic Computer Services for the University has recently emphasized the fol lowing: "I believe that some faculty members have been dis turbed at the possibility of being charged for com puter usage. I can now clarify the position favourably. Internal users will not be charged during this fiscal year. The computer subcommittee of the Academic Services Committee made this decision at its last meeting. lnterna I ly • the accounting routines serve as a costing system enabling the computer centre to keep track of the use of its facilities and to recognize the computing needs of each department.

Here, the Corridor splits into three parts: one going into the Northwest Territories up the MacKenzie River to the Artie Ocean at Inuvik and Tuktoyatuk: another into the Yukon Territory: and a third into the Prince Rupert sector of British Columbia." �Page 5 Copy: The Concept of the Mid-Canada Development Corridor Canada, in the next century, will have an additional 100,000,000 citizens. they work? Where will they live? Where will Will they simply increase the concentration of today's population that is physically and economically oriented to the United States border? Or will a significant number of them choose to live in model cities and towns planned from the ground up with people in mind, that will be built in the rich vast and beautiful land of Canada's Mid North? The starting point of the Conference relates to the MidCanada Development Corridor Concept originated by the Conference Chairman as a possible long-range economic development, land use and resources use plan for Canada's habitable Mid-North. However, the Conference is in no way bound to the corridor Concept 1 and might ultimately emerge with an entirely different approach to a policy and plan for the Mid-North. Inherent in the Mid-Canada Development Corridor Concept is the belief that only with a policy and plan can intelligent and rational development take place. We in Canada are attempting to meet the problems of developing our North in a fragmented way. Real success will only be achieved when the necessary resources qan« our Federal and Provincial Governments, our industry and our society can �Page 5 (Cont'd.) be channelled into a recognized, co-ordinated, and suitably financed program - a Canada wide policy and plan. �Page 6 Montage of Press clippings re the "Concept" as put forward by Rehmer - -- �Page 7 Copy: A concept ..... in action The total feasibility of a Mid-Canada Development Corridor, as conceived by Richard Rehmer, Q.C., hinged upon one primary factor: transportation. Could Canada build an east-west railway through the Mid-North, one that would pick up and connect existing north-south railways and create a transportation grid for the movement of heavy bulk materials over long distances in all weather? And if this could be done, could the corridor -- assisted by the transportation grid support new long-cycle towns and cities, new manufacturing and other industries, new ports, airfields, communications systems, highways, pipe lines and all of the facilities essential to permanent urbanization? one of the largest engineering firms in the world -- The Acres Group -- was retained to research this question in detail. Acres answer was "yes" and it was contained in a study that is today regarded as a basic inventory of Canada's assets: its minerals-oil, gas, agriculture, hydro potential, population, tourism, railways, air services, pipe lines, timber, climate and other factors. From Rohmer's original concept of a Mid-Canada Development Corridor, underscored by the extensive research of Acres, a concept is evolving. �Page 8 Montage of news clips announcing plans for conferences, field trips, formation of Foundation. �Page 9 Mid-Canada Development Corridor Conference First Session - August 18th to 22nd, 1969 - Lakehead University Trips through Corridor - September, October, November 1969 Visit to northern Scandinavia and Siberia - June 1970 - optional Second Session - August 1970 150* Senior representatives of sponsoring universities, business, industry and government from all parts of Canada will participate in the Mid-Canada Development Corridor Conference. First Session: The first session will be devoted primarily to the consideration of the problems related to the future development of the middle north. Keynote speakers and panelists will give papers under the following general headings: (1) Urbanization and Industrialization (2) Resources (Human and Natural) (3) Transportation and Communications (4) Human and Environmental Factors (5) Financial and Trade Implications Each of the conference participants will be assigned to a discussion group of approximately 20 people. Each group will have participants from government, industry and universities in it. Group discussions will occur after the presentation a:t r each major topic. Discussions will be lead by• personswho due to their special skills or experience are considered to be the �Page 9 (Cont'd.} most knowledgeable in Canada concerning the Mid North region. Trips through Corridor During the September, October and November 1969 period Conference members will be asked to take part in 7 to 10 day field trips through the Corridor area. Groups of 20 persons will make five or six stops, at carefully chosen places in the Corridor, in order to familiarize themselves with living, working and other conditions at first hand. Group Leaders at the Lakehead University Session and for the tours are being chosen from Canadians with the most experience and knowledge of the Mid-North. Visit to Siberia It is planned that in May or June of 1970 approximately 50 Conference members will be able to tour Siberia and Northern Scandinavia to see, at first hand, developments in these countries. Arrangements for this tour are somewhat dependant on the gee-political climate at the time. Second Session: In August of 1970 the Conference will reconvene, at a place in the Corridor and on dates yet to be determined. The intention of the Second Session is to create recommendations and conclusions which will then be published and put forward to Government and to the people of Canada. �Page 9 (Cont'd.)

And if such a long-range economic development and land use plan is found to be both feasible and practicable, then to formulate recommendations and suggested courses of action to be delivered to the Federal and Provincial Governments, to financial, commercial and industrial sectors of the National Community and to Canadian Universities. �Mid-Canada Development Corridor Conference MID-CANADA DEVELOPMENT CORRIDOR CONFERENCE A two-part "Mid-Canada Development Corridor" Conference on the feasibility and practicability of the preparation of a long-range economic development and land use plan for Canada's habitable Mid-North will be held in 1969 under the sponsorship of the University of Guelph, Lakehead University, Laurentian University and the Government of Ontario. The theme of the Conference will be the Mid-Canada Development Corridor Concept which includes plans for new cities, harbours, railways, industries, roads to be built over the next 50 to 100 years to receive part of the 100 million population growth expected in Canada by 2067. Early in 1967 the idea of a transportation and development corridor was taken by Richard Roh mer, of Toronto, to Norman Simpson, President of Acres Limited, who agreed that his firm would undertake its research. The Acres Group is Canada's largest totally Canadian Engineering organization. The combined efforts of Acres and Mr. Roh mer resulted in their jointly producing the Rohmer-Acres Concept of a Mid-Canada Development Corridor which was first published as a Centennial Project at the beginning of July, 1967. The Concept envisages a coast-to-coast development corridor from two to five hundred miles in width running from Newfoundland through Labrador, northern Quebec, south of James Bay, then northwest across the unopened Ontario clay belt, through Northern Manitoba with a spur into Churchill), Saskatchewan and Alberta where the Corridor splits into three parts, one going into the Northwest Territories up the Mackenzie River Valley to the Arctic Ocean at lnuvik and Tuktoyatuk, another into the Yukon Territory -and the third into the Prince Rupert sector of British Columbia. The provinces and the territories through which the Development Corridor passes will be asked to join the Conference as co-sponsors. �The Government of Canada has already agreed to a full participation in the Conference. The first organizational meeting of the Convening Board of the Conference was held on August 7th with representatives of Guelph, Lakehead and Laurentian Universities and the Government of Ontario in attendance. The general format and method of organization and financing of the Conference were decided upon at this meeting. The Conference is to be divided into two Sessions. The first will be held at Lakehead University on August 20th, 21st and 22nd, 1969. The second Session will be held early in 1970, at a place and on dates to be decided. The August, 1969, meeting of the Conference will discuss the problems, as opposed to the solutions, of the future and long-range urbanization, industrialization, populating and the general development of Canada's Mid-North. Papers will be delivered by outstanding Canadian authorities on eight major topics: Transportation and Communications, Resources, Environment, Human Factors, Jurisdictional and Constitutional Aspects, Technology, Urbanization and Industrialization, Financing. The Conference will be limited to one hundred and sixty persons. Each of the participants will be assigned to a working group of approximately twenty. In turn each group will study and examine the objectives of the Conference in relation to one of the major topics. After the first Session of the Conference adjourns in August, 1969, and before the second Session , each group will take part in a field trip to various places of interest throughout the entire Mid-Canada Development Corridor and will see at first hand the existing situation in the Mid-North. During the same period, about fifty Conference members will participate in an additional field trip through Siberia and Northern Sweden where the experience in urbanization, industrialization and general economic development is significant. The field trip to Siberia will depend upon the geo-political climate of the day. Early in 1970, the Conference wi 11 reconvene outside Ontario and inside the Corridor, to discuss solutions and the practicability and feasibility of a long-range economic development and land use plan for Canada's Mid-North. At that meeting each working group will prepare and submit recommendations to the plenary Conference for discussion and debate and for amendment, adoption or rejection. �The findings of the Conference will then be submitted to the Federal Government and the Provincial and Territorial Governments through which the Mid-Canada Development Corridor passes. The question whether the Conference will conclude with its 1970 Session or carry on in continuing sessions is yet to be decided. There will be one hundred and sixty seats at the Conference. The preliminary allocation will be: ten seats for the lecturers; fifty seats for Federal, Provincial and Territory representatives; seventy-five seats for Canadian "captains" of industry, commerce and finance; and twenty-five seats·for Canadian universities. Because of the limited number of seats the invitations will be on a selective basis. The expenses of all participants, such as travelling and hotel accommodation, will be paid by the Conference. Provision will be made for those of the press, television, film and radio media who wish to cover any aspect of the Conference including the field trips through the Mid-Canada Development Corridor, Siberia and Sweden. Policy concerning the direction and operation of the Conference will be under the control of the Convening Board which is made up of representatives of each of the sponsors, representatives of the Government of Canada, Mr. Norman Simpson and Richard Rohmer. The size of the Convening Board will be increased to accommodate representatives of such other governmental or university sponsors as may participate. The administration and organization will be in the hands of a newly created non-profit corporation, Mid-Canada Development Corridor Foundation, Inc., which will also be the fund raising vehicle through which the Conference will receive its monies. It is anticipated that all donations to the Foundation will be tax deductible. An application for this privilege has been made. The letters patent of Mid-Canada Development Corridor Foundation, Inc., provide that when the work of the Foundation is finished any funds then remaining will be divided among the three sponsoring Universities to be used for the furtherance of research into the continuing development of Canada's Mid-North. The Board of Directors of the Foundation are Professor Norman Pearson (University of Guelph), David Morgan (Lakehead University), Dr. W. Y. Watson (Laurentian University), Norman Simpson, President, Acres Limited, Richard Rohmer, Q.C. In addition, an advisory Council to the Conference will be appointed from among the invited participants. The Advisory Council \ �will be canvassed from time to time in order that their opinions can be obtained in relation to Conference policy and other matters. Their counsel will be most necessary to the success of the Conference. The financing of the Conference will be through substantial donations by the corporations, trade unions and national associations whose representatives participate in the Conference. The Conference will seek a minimum contribution for each of the seventy-five seats allocated to this group. Funds will also be received from the Government of Ontario and from such other governments - Federal, Provincial or Territorial - which join as sponsors. The Convening Board is hopeful that all invited governments will accept the proposal to join the original sponsors in order that the scope of the Conference might be as nation-wide in its support and involvement as is possible. The Conference will also seek from certain of the corporate participants the use of their aircraft for a period of about ten days during the period August, 1969, to early 1970, in order to transport each of the eight working groups of the Conference on its field trip through the Mid-Canada Development Corridor. The Convening Board intends to make this examination of the potential of our Mid-North the most important and significant ever undertaken on the future growth of Canada. Canada will have an additional one hundred million citizens one hundred years from now. Canada today has the technological ability, the human resources, the wealth to embark on a planned scheme for the opening up, urbanization, industrialization and populating of the massive, habitable sectors of our country which lie in Mid-Canada so that those one hundred million will not have to remain huddled against the border of the United States, so that the incredible treasures of our natural resources can become accessible, so that they can be taken from above or from under the ground, processed and made by our people into manufactured products providing employment for our citizens and finished goods for competitive consumption in the expanding markets of the world. Canada can continue to grow in its Mid-North sporadically, without plan, virtually by accident of discovery of resources; or it can grow in accordance with a far reaching plan of economic development and land resources use which will provide for new cities, new transportation links, new methods of climatic control, new environmental techniques, new harbours, new technology of all kinds and, finally, a new common objective or National Purpose for the people of Canada. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

This factor, when combined with the advanced methods of town and community planning and construction makes the "assault" of man on Canada North one which cannot help but be successful. It is therefore an assault which Canadians are obliged to make, in their own interests and in the interests of their own futµre. The promise of Canada over the next 100 years is growth, opportunity and prosperity. The results of the recent Kennedy Round more firmly than ever point Canada in the direction of being among the world's great manufacturing nations, a producer of finished goods, Canada North mu$t be opened up, not only to provide new living regions for our people, new extraction from our natural resources but--aswell--new opportunities to build .industries wnich will manufacture finished products for shipment to all the world. The creation of the Canada North Development Corridor is seen as a wholly Canadian undertaking, financed and owned by individual Canadians, by wholly Canadian corporations and by the Governments of Canada. It is seen as a great enterprise in which people--from all over the world--will participate, sharing in the opening of Canada North as a mainstream of Canada's future. The Acres Research group has made an absolutely essential contribution in establishing the validity of the planning, opening and settlement of Canada North, whether in the form of the Canada North Development Corridor as I have proposed it or in a form similar to this concept. To the Acres organization, who accepted the concept of the Canada North Development Corridor as a challenge which should be proved or disproved• I express my gratitude. That their research has substantiated and confirmed the concept, is indeed gratifying. If there is to be a next step, it is the commissioning of a thorough research program based upon the Canada North Development Corridor concept, or a proposal similar to it. Such a research program would require a budget of between two and three million dollars which, ideally, should be provided by the Federal Government. The alternative would be a cost-sharing program with the Provincial Governments involved, in the same way that the recently commissioned Churchill study is to be cost-shared by the Federal and Manitoba Governments. If the Federal Government should fail to take the initiative, then the Provincial Governments involved should consider providing the detailed research on their own. �-3- It is hoped that the concept of the Canada North Development Corridor, together with this excellent preliminary research document by the Acres organiz~tion, will make.a dramatic, meaningful and realistic contribution to the growth and opportunity which Canadians believe will be created in Canada North in the next one hundred years. It is also hoped that th~ Canada North Development Corridor will find a g~eat measure of acceptance and support among the people of Canada and among all our political parties. R.H.R.

The Government of Ontario is one of the original sponsors. The Conference is under the Distinguished Patronage of His Excellency The Right Honourable Roland Michener, Governor-General of Canada. c.c., C.D., The Conference is also honoured to have as Patrons the Right Honourable Lester B. Pearson, P.C., O.B.E., M.A., LL.D. and the Honourable Leslie Frost, P.C., Q.C., LL.D., D.C.L. The membership of the Convening Board of the Conference is made up of the following persons: Professor J. Jameson Bond, University of Alberta7 Professor Robert Bone, university of Saskatchewan; Professor J. D. Chapman, University of British Columbia; Professor Yves Dube, Laval Universityi Professor J. c. Gilson, University of Manitoba7 Mr. Christian de Laet, Secretary-General, Canadian Council of Resource Ministers7 Mr. Ian Macdonald, Deputy Treasurer, Province of Ontarioi Mr. David Morgan, Lakehead University7 Professor E. R. W. Neale, Memorial University of Newfoundland; Professor Norman Pearson, University of Guelph; Mr. James Ramsay, Department of Trade and Development, Province of Ontarior Mr. Richard Rehmer, Q.C.; Mr. Norman Simpsoni Professor W. Y. Watson, Laurentian University; �- 2 - Professor F. T .. M,. White, McGill University. The function of the Convening Board is to determine the objectives, the format and all general policy for the creation and administration and conduct of the Conference. The objects of the conference have been defined by the convening Board to be: "To examine the practicability of a continuing long range economic development and land use plan for the urbanization, industrialization populating and general development of Mid-Canada; and to this end to use the concept of a Mid-Canada Development Corridor as a focal point. And if such a long range economic development and land use plan is found to be both feasible and practicable, then to formulate recommendations and suggested course of action to be delivered to the Federal and Provincial Governments, to financial, commercial and industrial sectors of the National Community and to Canadian Universities." The Mid-Canada Development Corridor Concept includes plans for new cities, harbours, railways, industries, roads to be built over the next 20 to 100 years to receive part of the 100 million population growth expected in Canada by 2067. The Concept envisages a coast-to-coast development corridor from two to five hundred miles in width running from Newfoundland through Labrador, northern Quebec, south of James Bay, then northwest �- 3 - across the unopened Ontario clay belt, through Northern Manitoba with a spur into Churchill, Saskatchewan and Alberta where the Corridor splits into three parts, one going into the Northwest Territories up the Mackenzie River Valley to the Arctic Ocean at Inuvik and Tuktoyatuk, another into the Yukon Territory and the third into the Prince Rupert sector of British Columbia. While the Mid-Canada Development Corridor Concept will be used as a focal and starting point for the conference, it may well be that the Conference will find that, in principle, a completely different approach to a Plan for the Mid-North should be taken. Thus the Conference is in no way bound or committed to the Development Corridor Concept. Should the recommendations and suggested courses of action as formulated by the Conference support the creation of a Mid-Canada Development Plan it is intended that the Federal, Provincial (exclusive of New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island) and Territorial Governments should prepare a Plan in co-operation with the Universities of Canada and Canadian controlled private enterprise. The Convening Board invited Richard Rohmer,Q.C. to be the Chairman of the conference, and President of the Mid-Canada Development Corridor Foundation, Inc., a non-profit corporation controlled by three of the sponsoring Universities. Professor Norman Pearson, Chairman of Th&Centre For Resource Development, University of Guelph is Secretary of the Foundation. Mr. Adam H. Zimmerman,C.A., Vice-President and Comptroller of Noranda Mines Limited is Treasurer. The officers of the Foundation serve without �- 4 remuneration. The function of the Foundation is to provide the corporate structure through which the Conference funds will be raised and all staff and administrative expenses will be met. The Foundation has been qualified for income tax exemptions, and all payments and donations to it will be deductible. The Conference will be held in two separate sessions. The first will be August 20th, 21st and 22nd of 1969 and the second in August of 1970. Field trips through the Corridor and to Siberia and Northern Scandina~ will be taken in the period between Sessions. The First Session of the Mid-Canada Development Corridor Conference will be held at Lakehead University. Field trips through the Corridor will occur during the months of September, October and November of this year and will be of approximately ten days duration. The field trip to Siberia and Northern Scandinavia is planned for June of 1970, with a time requirement of about two weeks. This trip will be optional for all Conference participants, whereas the Corridor field trip is essential for all members. The Second Session of the Conference will be held during August of 1970 at a place in the Corridor and on dates yet to be selected. At the First Session of the Conference the problems - as opposed to the solutions-related to urbanization, industrialization, transportation, resource use and many other factors eoncerning the growth, development and planning of the Mid-North will be discussed. �- 5 - The Conference will deal with eight major topics and will be divided for its ongoing work into eight Groups each assigned to one topic as well as to consideration of the general theme of the Conference. Those Canadians who present papers at the First Session will provide their respective Groups and each Group Leader with a point of departure. While some of those who deliver papers may not be "of the Mid-North" all of them have a full understanding of the growth problems confronting Canada and are fully qualified to speak on the subjects which they have accepted. Each of the Group Leaders will be fully experienced in Canada's Mid-North and will be able to supply the backg round and direction necessary to best guide his Group in its work over the year's period. The topics which will be considered and the Conference Groups which are formed to deal with them are: Urbanization and Industrialization Transportation and Communication Environment Human and Economic Factors Resources Constitutional and Jurisdictional Matters Technology Financing and Trade Implications �- 6 - Some of those who have agreed to prepare opening papers are: Dr. o. M. Solandt, Chairman, Science Council of Canada - Technology; Father John Page, University of Manitoba - Environment; the Honourable Dufferin Roblin, P.C., Executive Vice-President of Canadian Pacific Investments Limited - Human and Economic Factors. Other distinguished Canadians have been and will be approached by the Convening Board to deliver papers on the remaining topics. The Corridor Field Trips during the Fall of this year will be designed to meet the interest of each specific Group. It is anticipated that some of the major points to be visited will be the west coast of Newfoundland, Churchill Falls, Schefferville, Val d'Or, Rouyn, Lakehead, Moosonee, Churchill, Thompson, Hay River, Yellowknife, Peace River region, Prince Rupert, Whitehorse, Inuvik and Tuktoyatuk. There will ee many other places of special interest to be seen. The Field Trip to Siberia and Northern Scandinavia will be for the purpose of observing at first hand urbanization and industrialization experience achieved in areas whichare comparable or even more difficult than Canada's Mid-North. The Conference hopes to visit such places as Kirana in Sweden and Norilsk, Irkutsk and other important northern cities in Siberia. A few days at Expo '70 in Japan on the way home will add to the trip. �- 7 - At the Second Session of the Conference (to be held in August of 1970 - place and dates to be selected) each Group will formulate and present recommendations and suggested courses of action pertaining to the Group's topic and to the general theme of the Conference. The report of each Group will then be discussed by the Conference in plenary session. The recommendations and findings of the Conference will be recorded, published and distributed on a nationwide basis in accordance with the Objects of the Conference. There will be one hundred and fifty seats at the MidCanada Development Corridor Conference. Twenty-five of these will be for Canadian Universities, fifty for representatives of the Federal, Provincial and Territorial governments, and seventy-five for representatives of Canadian industrial, commercial and financial firms, labour organizations, the professions and spokesmen for the Indian and Eskimos of Canada. Because of the limited number of seats the invitations to participate will be on a selective basis. It is believed that the work of the Conference and the ultimate establishment of a Plan for the Mid-North should be exclusively undertaken by Canadians. Accordingly invitations to participate in the Conference will be extended only to Canadian citizens and corporations and other organizations which are Canadian controlled. On the other hand provision will be made for 11 observers 11 whose origins or interests may not be Canadian. The funding of the Conference will be principally by payments received from participating firms and governmental departments �- 8 - each of which will be asked to pay the costs of its Conference representative. These costs are now budgeted at Three Thousand Five Hundred Dollars which includes all transportation, accomodation and other expenses for both Sessions of the Conference including the Corridor Field Trip. In addition a further amount of Fifteen Hundred Dollars is requested which funds will be utilized to support the attendance of the representaives of the participating Universities. The cost of the Field Trip to Siberia and Northern Scandi~avia {which is optional) is estimated at a further Two Thousand Dollars. All payments are tax deductible. In addition to the monies already received from participating corporations the Government of Ontario has made a substantial contribution. It is hoped that the Federal and other Provincial Governments will see fit to make comparable grants in addition to sending representatives to the Conference. The letters patent of Mid-Canada Development Corridor Foundation, Inc., provide that when the work of the Foundation is finished any funds then remaining are to be distributed to Canadian Universities for the furtherance of research into the continuing development of Canada's Mid-North. Provision will be made for those of the press, television, film and radio media who wish to cover any aspect of the Conference including the field trips through the Mid-Canada Development Corridor, Siberia and Scandinavia4 �- 9 - An Advisory Council to the Conference has been established.

The Advisory Council will be canvassed from time to time in order that their opinions can be obtained in relation to Conference policy and other matters. Their counsel will be most necessary to the success of the Conference. The Convening Board intends to make this examination of the potential of our Mid-North the most important and significant ever undertaken on the future growth of Canada. Canada will have an additional one hundred million citizens one hundred years from now. Canada today has the technological ability, the human resources, the wealth to embark on a planned scheme for the opening up, urbanization, industrialization and populating of the massive habitable regions which lie in Mid-Canada so that those one hundred million will not have to remain huddled against the border of the United States, so that the incredible treasures of our natural resources can become accessible, so that they can be taken from above or from under the ground, processed and made by our people into manufactured products providing employment for our citizens and finished goods for competitive consumption in the expanding markets of the world. �- 10 - Canada can continue to grow in its Mid-North sporadically, without plan, virtually by accident of discovery of resources7 or it can grown in accordance with a far reaching plan of economic development and land resources use which will provide for new cities, new transportation links, new methods of climatic control, new environmental techniques, new harbours, new technology of all kinds and, finally, a new common objective or National Purpose for the people of Canada.

The first reaction may be "so what", but this one could have long range effects on the future of the Thunder Bay area, and in particular on the native population of the region. Dr. William S. Morris, Chairman of the Department of Philosophy and convener of the Senate Ad Hoc Com mittee to enquire into ways and means of fulfilling the University's responsibilities to native peoples, reported to Senate that a meeting of interested Uni versity faculty and local Indian repre" sentatives was held on Tuesday, Septem " ber 19. The University was represented by Pro fessor Ken Dawson, Dr. A.A. Asimi, Dr. Mary Black, Dr. James T. Angus, and Dr. Morris. Others included: Mr. Martin Bannon, Manager of the Fort William Indian ReserDr. w. S. Morris ve Band; Mr. Gerald McKay, Lakehead University Indian student from Trout Lake; Mr. Andrew Lac Seul of the Youth and Recrea tion Branch of the Ontario Department of Northwestern Affairs; Miss Rosemary Moffitt, Executive Director of the Donner Foundation based in the University of Toronto; Mr. Robert Conley, representing Mrs. Yvonne Conley, Secretary-Treasurer, Ontario Metis and Non status Indian Association; Mrs. Les I ie Wuttunee, Guidance Counsellor, Ontario Indian Affairs; Mr. Xavier Michon, Director of the Thunder Bay Indian Friendship Centre, along with his assistant, Miss Mary Alice Smith. Discussion ranged widely and was exploratory in nature. It touched upon scholarship programs; up grading at the University to prepare native students for University studies; education as a tool and an enculturating factor; means of improving educational standards and motivation. It was unanimously agreed that Mr. J. Dymond, Director of the Transitional Year Program for disadvantaged students, be invited to Thunder Bay as soon as possible to lead discussions relating to the i:;ossibility of instituting a similar upgrading scheme at Lakehead University. VOLUME 5 NUM.BER 12 OCTOBER 13, 1972 Dr. Morris, who deserves credit for single-handedly bringing about this opportunity for co-operation be- · tween the University and the native peoples of the Thunder Bay area, announced that the committee be flexible in its constitution, inviting to its meetings those who are informed and concerned about different aspects of problems within its terms of reference. He also announced that Dr. A.A. Asimi was elected committee Chairman, as the representative of Lakehead University. And Mr. Andrew Lac Seul was ac claimed Secretary, as the representative of the native people of the region. International Recognition Lakehead University was the only smaller university in the world represented at a recent gathering of internationally recognized researchers in the field of geology. The University was represented by Dr. Henri Loubat, a member of the Department of Geology for the past five years who is dedicated to geological research in the region of Northwestern Ontario. His taking part in such an important international meeting indicates that even though Lakehead University is relatively young, it has professors who are being recognized throughout the world for their work. The Penrose Conference, held periodically by the Geological Society of America, took place in Oregon and California between September 14 and 25 this year. One of the most prestigious meetings for geologists throughout the world, the Penrose Conference usually focuses upon a narrow theme, and involves a smaller number of the world's leading specialists in that particular field. The purpose for this is to promote communications and co-operation between experts in the hope that new scientific discoveries wi 11 be ins pi red. A format of day excursions, coupled with informal talks and discussions in the evenings was chosen to that end. This year the Penrose Conference concentrated upon the nature and genesis of ophiolites. Dr. Loubat was invited as a consequence of his research on volcanic ophiolites in the French and Italian Alps, as well as his collaborations with the Canadian Oceanographic Institute during their study of rocks dredged from the Mid-Atlantic Ridge two summers ago. Ophiolites are a complex family of magmatic rocks originally formed at great depths in some ancient or recent oceanic areas. But why devote a major scientific meeting to a study of ophiolites? Actually, this family of rocks is one of the most fashionable areas of study for contemporary geologists because there is a feeling that ophiolites can give information about the way in which the �✓:-- J, • deepest zones of the earth's mantle were formed, as wel I as information relevant to major geological phenomena, such as continental drift, sea-floor spreading, and other important astronomical implications. Besides.as it was discussed at the Conference.many major economical deposits -are - tightly connected with the genesis of ophiol ites. One More Time, Maestrol The third new Minister of Colleges and Universities in thepast year under the administration of Premier William Davis was appointed on September 29, 1972. The Honourable Jack McNie, 52 years of age and the father of five teenage children, was first elected to the Ontario Legislature in October, 1971. His previous political involvement had been in various executive party posts at the campus, riding, provincial, and nationa I levels. The member for Hamilton West has been president of the firm of Russell T. Kelley (Advertising, Public Relations, Marketing Research) since 1946. His community involvement has included board memberships for the Hamilton Art Gallery, Hamilton Performing Arts Corporation, Royal Hamilton College of Music, Junior Achievement and Communications Advisory Board for Mohawk College. And he is past chairman of the Hamilton Theatre-Auditorium Co-ordinating Committee. He is also a member of the Hamilton Club, Chamber of Commerce, Canadian Club, Rotary Club, and the Hamelton Advertising and Sales Club. Dr. Loubat indicates an Eskimo soap stone carving. Soap stones represent a particularly interesting variety of ophiolites. Dr. Loubat is currently engaged in a very careful examination of ophiolites found in the Pre-Cambrian Shield. These rocks were formed eons ago when they were part of eventual volcanic ridges along the floor of a very old ocean. Dr. Loubat observes from the comparison of these Archean (ancient) ophiolites beside those currently being formed in the North Atlantic Ocean, that at some time in the distant past the earth could have been much hotter, and its crust very much thinner. This resulted in rocks being formed in much different ways from those now being formed. Such research may result in a clearer picture of the way in which the earth's crust evolved, The Penrose Conference involved not more than thirtyfive experts in ophiolites from the United States, Russia, France, Italy, Switzerland, Holland, Brazil, Venezuela,. Australia, and Tasmania. Dr. Loubat explained that the general feeling at the end of the Penrose meetings was one of enthusiasm and belief that new discoveries of great scientific impact would result from the fruitful exchange of ideas of some of the world's leading geologists. Mr. McNie is currently completing the B.A. Degree at McMaster University via extension courses. He has attained 16 of 17 credits to date. Under the Davis administration, Mr. McNie has served on the Social Development Standing Committee and the Select Committee Inquiring into the Uti lization of Educationa I Faci I ities. Geographical Activities The Department of Geography has three field excursions planned which are open to anyone wishing to take part and may well be of interest to many. October 9:30 to shore to and land 14 - Lake Superior shoreline excursion 5:00 p.m. A visit to the North Minnesota consider past and present shore processes forms. $3.00 October 20 and 21 - Air Familiarization Excursions In co-operation with the Thunder Bay Flying Club we have arranged for a series of one hour flights around a 90 mile circuit of Thunder Bay and Black Bay. Each will carry three persons and will be accompanied by a brief written guide. Cost $8.00 November - Minneapolis - weekend Urban Excursion in co-operation with the University of Minne, 1. It �is planned to examine the urban geography of central Minneapolis. This excursion is in preparation. Approximate cost $20.00 or less. Detai Is of these excursions and signing Ii sts wi II be found in the Geography Student Notice board in the corridor of Wing D, Main Building. The Student Geographical Society opens its activities with a lecture and social on Wednesday, October 11. Guest speaker will be Mr. K. Hearnden, Chairman of the Department of Forestry and Chairman of the Lakehead Conservation Authority. Everyone is cordially invited to attend. Campus Classroom The Faculty of Education at Lakehead University has developed a new tool for training teachers. It is referred to as "campus classroom" and it has been in operation since the opening of the Fall Term. "Campus classroom" is specially designed to al low teachers in training to observe actual teaching situations unfold before them. This is accomplished through a one-way viewing wall from an adjoining observation area which is also equipped to pick up every sound in the classroom. Although at first this may strike some as a frightening, Orwellian invasion of privacy and human dignity, in actual practice such is not the case. This program involves importing an entire class from a local school, and establishing it in the "campus classroom". Mrs. Loretta Margarit, a grade 4 teacher from Agnew H. Johnston primary school was the first to volunteer. She found that the class felt honoured and "special" to be chosen. The first few days were a total loss because the kids were excited about touring the University and playing tic-tac-toe with the computer. But it did not take long for them to adjust to a very fruitful month of learning. Not only did the student teachers find it a treat to be able to observe and listen in on a lesson in progress without interrupting it, but at least eight sets of parents of the twenty-eight children in Mrs. Margarit's class took advantage of the opportunity to see how their children were being taught. Expanding Services Local Secondary School principals gathered at Lakehead University on Thursday afternoon for the purpose of discussing liaison between the University and the high schools during the coming year. During the course of that meeting, Dr. Andrew D. Booth, President of Lakehead University, announced that the University is planning an expansion of its services to high school students. First, the Library is currently working out a 5¥stem. whereby all high school student!:: will bave ccm:mle.t.e library privileges. Secondly, Dr. Booth emphasized that gifted high school students would be allowed to enroll in University courses upon the recommendation of teachers and principals. Courses of this nature would be free of charge. And credits thus accumulated would count towards a student's degree or diploma. Prophets On Main Street The Prophets on Main Street is the provocative title of a lecture-discussion series jointly sponsored by the Thunder Bay Counci I of Clergy and Lakehead University Extension. Local clergy and university faculty will be discussion leaders with Reverend Gordon Daley i ntroduci ng the series on October 17 and Mr. Arnold Edinborough, distinguished Canadian editor and lecturer the special guest speaker at a public meeting on November 14. Classes will be held in Room 1024 of the Faculty of Education Building, Lakehead University. Registration will take place the night of the first class, October 17. L. U.

In the same grouping will be the University of British Columbia, the host team, the Universities of Alberta, Calgary and Victoria. In 1972, the Nor'Westers and Thunder Bay played host to a Hockey Canada event that fea tured the McMaster University Mauraunders, Bishop's University Gaiters and the University of Manitoba Bi sons. Coach Hank Akerval I said this week "This wi 11 be our first real venture into competition of this level in Canada. U.B.C., Alberta and Calgary are considered real powers with the C.I.A.U. Will we have the horses this early in the season, is my main concern. We'll just have to wait and see, but I will guarantee that we will surprise some people." 7 ..-• � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

VOLUME 5 ✓ NUMBER 11 SEPTEMBER 29, 1972 head University Review from departing editors, Peter Raffo and Ivan Hannaford. Russell Brown of the Eng1ish department will join him as assistant editor. Dr. Griffith will also continue in his present position as co-editor, with Dr. William Eames, of the Ontario Mathematics Gazette (a journal emphasizing intercommunication between school teachers, schools, and universities through consideration of new teaching methods, ideas, and techniques). The Lakehead University Review presents articles written by the scholar for the genera I reader. It is an interdisciplinary journal of the arts and sciences with a special interest in Central Canadian studies. Subscriptions are$3.50 annually (two issues); single copies are available at $1.75. The editors welcome expressions of interest from any member of the university community engaged in or acquainted with research they feel would be of interest to readers of the review. In Memoriam A gentle reminder to those members of the University community who were perhaps off-campus over the summer months, and as a result were not aware of the TIM RYAN MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP FUND. L. U. Foresters With Specimen Bags Contributions should be made payable to Lakehead University and forwarded to the Secretary of the University, Lakehead University. The burr oak, usually a prairie species, can be found on some high ground where the Whitefish River meets the Kaministiquia River. Theory has it that this is a relictual species, which flourished on high ground in the post - Ice Age Lake Agassiz, which eventually drained to form the Great Lakes as we know them. Such species remain, even though climatic conditions are now more favourable for boreal species, such as spruce and poplar. The Lakehead Amateur Radio Club in conjunction with the student amateurs here at the University will be welcoming Mr. Noel B. Eaton, VE3CJ on October 3, 1972. By the same token, deep gorges, such as Ouimet Canyon, still contain tundra species which remain from the time when ice covered most of Northern Ontario. Mr. Eaton, Director of the Canadian Division of the American Radio Relay League, Inc., will be available in the Faculty Lounge from 7:30 p.m. for an informal get-together with local hams. Such nuggets of knowledge make this particular region an endless source of fascination for foresters and naturalists alike. And Lakehead University foresters are exposed to this wealth of information through compulsory field study which is conducted for two weeks prior to registration each fall. Those people interested in the new D.O.C. proposed regulations and problems arising from extended frequency coverage for the United States amateurs should take this opportunity to come out and ask questions.

In addition he delivered lectures to the Geographical Association in Edinburgh, and at Strathclyde University. Communications Seminar The School of Engineering, electronics section sponsored a seminar on high frequency communications which took place on Tuesday and Wednesday, September 26 and 27 at the University. Mr. E. D. Ducharme and Mrs. Joan Campbell of the Department of Communications, Ottawa, centred their approach around the predictabi I ity of broadcast conditions in the northern hemisphere. Such questions are increasingly important in northern regions due to an increasing pub I ic and private interest in high frequency broadcasting. Such an approach to communications is attractive to a region I ike Northwestern Ontario for a number of reasons. But, mainly, high frequency provides a relatively cheap means of establishing communication between and for isolated communities. During the seminar, students from both the University and Confederation College joined together with about thirty people working in the industry throughout Northwestern Ontario. •Professor G. R.

[!]W88K a publication of the Lakehead University information office Chemistry Students Excel Dr. Robert A. Ross, Dean of the Faculty of Science, recently commented upon the progress of some of his post-graduate students . VOLUME 5 NUMBER 10 SEPTEMBER 14, 1972 Roger Glass, another student of Dr. Ross, has submitted his Ph.D. thesis to Queen's University, Belfast. Mr. Glass did his research on "Surface interactions of sulphur-containing gases on transition metal catalysts and catalyst supports". This study provides basic thermo-dynamic data necessary for an understanding of techniques that may be adapted to combat the pollution of air by sulphur gases. Mr. Glass has commenced employment with the Ontario Research Foundation, Sheridan Park, as a research surface chemist. Renowned Coach Don Talbot, world-renowned as the coach of more than 30 world record breakers has accepted a position on the Physical Education staff at Lakehead University. Talbot was Head Coach of the Australian Swimming squad at the recent Munich Olympics. Dr. Eugene McCaffrey Eugene Mccaffrey, pictured here at work in a Chemistry laboratory at Lakehead University, has just returned from presenting a paper at the Fifth I nternationa I Congress on Catalysis, held in Palm Beach, Florida. The paper, entitled "The influence of the mobility of oxygen in transition metal oxides on their selectivity in isopropyl alcohol decomposition" was co-authored by Dr. Ross and Dr. D. G. Klissurski. Dr. Ross praised McCaffrey·s work, considering the fact that of 250 papers submitted to the Congress. only 105 were accepted for presentation, and only two from Canada. Eugene Mccaffrey received his Ph.D. in Industrial Chemistry six weeks ago from Queen's University, Belfast, Ireland, upon completion of a thesis on "The catalytic decomposition of isopropyl alcohol on transition metal oxides and mixed oxides." During this research at Lakehead University, Dr. Mccaffrey established a relationship between the rate of oxidation of different oxide catalysts and the rate of catalytic decomposition of isopropyl alcohol. Such a relationship could be the basis for predicting the rate of catalysis in laboratory and industrial research. Dr. Mccaffrey has accepted employment as a research chemist with ~rnery Industries Canada, Ltd., in Toronto, where he wi II be engaged in nickel catalyst research. In making the announcement, Dr. Jim Widdop, Chairman of the B.P.H.E. program at Lakehead University stressed the fact that the news had been delayed at Talbot's request as he did not want his Olympic team to be adversely affected by his decision. Aged 38, Talbot, a former school teacher who started his coaching career at the age of 19 as assistant to the famous Frank Guthrie, leapt into prominence by tutoring the "wonder kids" Jon and Ilsa Konrads, who at one time held 8 world records each, all at distances from the 100rn up to the 1500m. Since that time, Talbot has produced a bevy of World and Olympic medal winners that resembles a "Who's who" in the swimming world. His proteges include: Neville Hayes, Kevin Berry, Bob Windle, Ian O'Brien, John and Karl Byrom, Mike Wenden, Brad Cooper, Graham Windeatt, Graham White, Jim Findlay, Gai I Neall, Kathy Wainwright, Linda McGi 11, Bev Whitfield, Karen Moras, Debbie Cain and Jan Murphy (who will be attending L.U. as a student this fall). Talbot who accurately predicted that virtually every World or Olympic record would be beaten in Munich compiled an impressive record as Australian National Team Coach: 1962 - Men's Coach - British Empire Garnes - Perth 1964 - Men's Coach - Tokyo Olympics 1966 - Men· s Coach - British Empire Garnes - Jamaica 1971 - Head Coach of team which beat U.S.A. at Crystal Pa lace - London 1972 - Head Coach - Munich Olympics An interesting aspect of the Munich Olympics is that almost half the Australian team were trained by Talbot himself. �Talbot's duties at Lakehead University will include working with Bonnie Benson- former Canadian 13reaststroke Champion: a) teaching all aspects of basic and competitive swimming to students enrolled in the B.P.H.E. program b) work towards the building up of a Varsity level squad - male & ferna le. In addition, it is anticipated that Talbot wi 11 be actively concerned with the proposed training program for the newly formed Thunder Bay Thunderbolts and will probably be in great demand to give coaching clinics both in Canada and the United States. En route to Thunder Bay, he will be stopping off in Montreal to lecture at the World Swimming Clinic being held there at the end of September. Campus Notes •Dr. George K. Fleming, Chairman of the School of Engineering, was invited to speak to the Annual Meeting of the Digital Equipment Corporation, Industrial Products Division, in Boston, August 28, 1972. Dr. Fleming talked on "Experience with Digital Equipment Corporation's Real Time Computer Systems''. •Douglas Dahlgren, resident pianist and instructor in Humanistic Studies music courses wi II spend the corning year in further study in New York City under Dr. Milton Kaye. Gregory Schulte, a former student of Mr. Dahlgren, will return to take over his classes and resident responsibilities for the corning year. Mr. Schulte has been studying under the same piano master, Dr. Kaye. •John Barnum, former assistant director of the Lakehead Symphony. and leader of the Youth Symphony. is studying this year in Monte Carlo under the violin master Igor Markewich. •Boris Brott, former conductor of the Lakehead Symphony Orchestra. has assumed responsibi I ity for the B.B.C. Symphony. Mr. Brott continues as conductor for the Hamilton Ontario Symphony, and is therefore extremely busy. But. he wi 11 return for a solo performance in Thunder Bay in the corning season. •The Lakehead Symphony is proud to announce the arrival of its new director. Mr. Manuel Suarez. A Brazilian violinist of international reputation. Mr. Suarez arrived in Thunder Bay recently from Mexico City, Mexico. Mr. Suarez is currently preparing for a concert he will be giving soon in Carnegie Hall. in conjunction with his brother Gorge, a similarly gifted pianist. •Dr. G. Ozburn of the Department of Biology recently presented a seminar to graduate students and faculty of the School of Public Health and Biology Department of University of Minnesota. The topic dealt with the problem of monitoring toxicity. •Dr. J. G. Rideout, Professor of Romantic Poetry at Lakehead University, has just returned from the Wordsworth-Coleridge Conference at Rydal. Westmorland, in England. The two-week conference was held in the heart of the Wordsworth country and featured such authorities in the period as Empson, Griggs and Thompson in lecture and group discussion. The conference was conducted by Richard Wordsworth, greatgreat-grandson of the poet. CUGO Report Dr. Andrew D. Booth, President of Lakehead University, recently made the fol lowing announcement: "During the 1969/70 academic year the University established a tri-partite (Board, Senate, and A.M.S.) Commission on University Governmental Organization to examine the governmental structure of the institution and to report to the President its recommended changes thereto. The work of the Commission was interrupted by the activities of the Wright Cornrn iss ion in Northwestern Ontario, and was not reactivated unti I the autumn of 1971. The Commission has now completed its report and has submitted it to me. "The procedure which we propose to follow for dealing with the Report is to distribute it as widely as possible within the University, and then to have it discussed at a series of meetings during the next three-to-four months. The first meeting will occur in late September with all faculty invited to attend to discuss the Report and its recommendations with members of C.U.G.O. Later in the autumn, the Senate and the Board wi II meet to review the Report. I also understand that the A.M.S. will be holding one or more meetings to elicit student reaction to the Report." Copies of the CUGO Report will be mailed to all faculty and senior administrative staff. Students can pick up copies at the A.M.S. Office. Others may obtain copies at the Office of the President. Field Hockey All those interested in playing field hockey are invited to play on the University's field in front of the Fieldhouse every Thursday evening from 7:00 to 8:00 p.rn. �Parr On Open Concept Following is an excerpt from a speech delivered recently by Dr. J. Gordon Parr, CUA Chairman: The effects of an open university in Ontario would be comprehensive. They might be enormous. First, educational programs would be made available to all, regardless of geographic location. It's not even necessary to be in an area serviced by broadcast television, because video tape decks are becoming accessibly priced. (Of course, this does raise another sort of difficulty, because the responsibi I ity for delivery is put into the hands of the post-office - a matter which I mention in Ottawa with some apprehension). The microminiaturisation of printed material brings entire libraries into the home. Computers can be programmed to respond to individual questions. is in every respect a valuable one, and the Universities themselves have grown healthier for it . However it's continuation - certainly it's extension - would be fatiguing and debilitating. The supplement and enrichment implied by the open university concept would relieve the growing demands upon the resources of our existing universities; a clearer definition of their purpose would emerge and their particular activities about the pool of knowledge given new vigour. OSAP Reminder The deadline for full assistance under OSAP is September 30, 1972. Applications received after this date will be assessed for half the year's need. Parenthetically, I'd like to answer the critics who assert that these approaches dehumanize education and make it a mechanical affair. This simply need not be the case. Rather, the student is no longer restricted to the table d'hote menu, but may tackle the riches of the a la carte. And the staff, relieved from the tedium of repeatedly preparing the same fare have more time to respond to the individual client. I am reminded of Buckminster Fuller's paper, "Education Automation", and its telling subtitle, "Freeing the Scholar to return to his studies." Students twenty-four years of age prior to the first month of registration who have received a Statement of Award wi 11 be eligible to be reassessed under the new regulations pertaining to Group B students. Those students who were previously ineligible for assistance because of family income but who might now qua I ify under the revised age requirement should apply for OSAP as soon as possible. When educational programs are made available outside the bricks and mortar of traditional institutions, the age group of the student body spreads. When a candidate in a program is judged solely by his performance in the program, and is not made ineligible by earlier accidents of formal schooling, the spectrum of acceptable aptitudes is enlarged. Post-secondary education is no longer that activity which has to synchronize with Grade XIII; it is no longer that ob I igation which genera I ly runs down when the student reaches the age of twenty-five or thirty. Geographical Congress The important point is that the concept of an open university does much more than simp y resent the conventional university to a larger nu ber of young students: the nature of its approach to the ool of knowledge, the mode of its transportati1on system to the pool, open up additional areas of ~the pool, <and reveal them for exploration in a new perspective. What effect would an open university have upon the established institutions in the province? Many. I'll suggest only one, and this in relationsijip to the Universities. 1've already mentioned that the Universities are strained by being so many things to so many people. The exercise, in response to social needs, Further information and application forms are avai Iable from the DEAN STUDENTS' OFFICE. Dr. John B. Wise, Faculty of Education, attended the Twenty-second International Geographical Congress held in Montreal, August 9 - 17 and participated in the meetings of the Congress' (and U.N.E.S.C .O.'s) Commission on Geography in Education held in Quebec, August 1 - 9 under the chairmanship of Dr. Benoit Brouillette. Dr. Wise addressed the Commission and representatives from many countries on the topic of "Geography in the Secondary Grammar and Comprehensive Schools of England and Wales", ending wfth a1plea for geographers -and educators throughout ~ the world to take further no~e of the_cred_it_able position arid nature that the subJect has in British secondary schools. Dean Neville V. Scarfe, Dean of the Faculty of Education, University of British Columbia, and the first chairman of the Commission (1950-1956) was the other Canadian representative to address the Commission in English. The Commission, under its new chairman, Dr. Norman J. Graves, University of London, will probably meet two or three times in different continents before the T~nty-third International Geographical Congress that will be held in the U.S.S.R. in 1976. �weeKI~ evenes Benefit Dance for Hospital In Viet Friday September 15 Nam, Cafeteria, 9 p.m. Registration and counsel! ing for: Honors Bachelor of Commerce; business administration diploma; graduate diploma in business administration; diploma in library technology.
