Summary of underlying reasons for the choice of prosposed Unietersitv Arms

J

The University colours are gold, black, and white, and although not essential, it seemed convenient to incor- porate all three in a shield design. The Committee had expressed the opinion that our shield should be simple, bold, “traditional,” easily reproduced, capable of small- scale representation without loss of detail, and be readily distinguished from other Canadian university shields. Furthermore the Committee showed little enthusiasm for such symbols as: book, lamp, torch, beavers, Conestoga wagon.

In an effort to meet these general conditions the follow- ing design elements emerged : -1. A gold shield with a black qnd white chevron. This combination allows the use of all three of the Univer- sity colours, and differs from the shelds of major Cana- dian universities. The final design, i.e., a black chevron surmounted by a narrower silver (white) chevron hap- pens to be the shield division used by only one of the thousand or so shields de- scribed in Burkes Peerage (1917) - and it is that of Kitchener of Khartum! (Kitehener’s shield is red, a white chevron surmounted by a blue chevron, between three bustards, etc.)

2. Three red rampant lions. The search for suitable charges for the shield led to a concept proposed by Pro- fessor Stanton at the Com- mittee’s first meeting, viz., that “Waterloo” has only one reference in the minds of most people the world over, and this is the great Battle of Waterloo in 1815, at which the Duke of Wellington de- feated the Emperor Napo- leon. Waterloo County and adjacent Wellington County as well as the present City of Waterloo were named in

honour of that event. The University of Waterloo thus perpetuates in its name the reference to Wellington’s voetory.

The arms of Wellington display, in part, a red ram- pant lion on a gold field. Thus the red rampant lion was adopted as a possible symbol for the University shield. I

In British and European heraldry the rampant lion is of course fairly Common - it was used to symbolize courage, strength and other equally noble qualities. The Arms of Scotland also show a red rampant lion on a gold field. Thus although the eon- neetion with Wellington is interesting, it would be quite in order to adopt a rampant lion as our symbol as has been done by many other families and institutions. The lion is certainly not a local beast in northern Europe!

3. Trillium and maple leaves. The white trillium is the flower symbol of the Province of Ontario, and incidentally grows in great profusion in the southwest corner of the campus. It is a simple, striking design sug- gested by Professor Soulis and won immediate approval by a Committee accustomed to examining crests showing bits and pieces of bird< animals, and humans. -

The maple leaves are al- most ‘de rigueur’ in Canada.

4. Concordia Cum Veri- tate. During the past year many mottoes? both in Eng- lish and Latin have been considered. The motto pro- posed by Professor Aziz seemed to express clearly the essential guiding principle of a university. “In Harmony with Truth” expresses some- thing of the richness and variety possible in man’s

It has been brought to the attention of the Director of Athletics that students from the University of Waterloo in attendance at Inter- collegiate games both at home and away have been in an obviously inebriated state. Such an exhibition is in poor taste and very poor advertising for the Uni- versity. Please be advis- ed that at future games police will be instructed to remove all such offen- ders from the premises and report such offend- ers to- their academic deans for further dis- ciplinary action.

Christmas Student Aid Fund.

The Library Staff invites the Administration, Faculty, Staff, and Students of the University to contribute to the Christmas Student Aid Fund in lieu of sending Christmas cards to individ- uals within the University. Donations may be given to Mr. Keith Hymmen, Assist- ant Registrar in charge of Student Aid, or to any mem- ber of the Library Staff. Receipts will be issued by the Business Office. Large Christmas’eards will be post- ed in the teaching buildings of the University after De- cember lst and donors are requested to sign these cards.

The plan was carried out for the first time last year, and although it had a rather late start, more than one hundred dollars was eon- tributed to the fund.

Now that ‘the enemy’ is testing nuclear bombs in the atmosphere, we hear and read a great deal of the terrible dangers the tests present to the world. There is no doubt that these dan- gers are real, regardless of the identity of the experi- menter, however, it is diffi- cult to glean from the myriad of reports, comments and opinions the precise nature and relative importance of these dangers.

In an attempt to evaluate the effects of nuclear bomb testing on mankind we should consider first the products of an atmospheric nuclear ex- plosion. They are (1) air blast (2) thermal radiation and (3) nuclear radiation (both initial and secondary). For any known bomb, the effects of all these, with the im- portant exception of seeon- dary nuclear radiation are negligible beyond 50 to 60 miles from the explosion, and although they are unbeliev- able dreadful at closer range they need not be discussed within the scope of this article. The secondary nuc- lear radiation on the other hand is carried to great altitudes and distributed widely over the Earth. This then is the feature we wish to discuss here.

There are over 200 species of radioactive fission pro- duets released by a fission (uranium or plmonium) bomb. These all decay away exponentially to harmless, stable isotopes by the emis- sion of ionising radiation. Some do so fairly rapidly, and so are harmless by the time they fall to Earth. Others, most important of which are iodine-131, cesium- 137, and strontium-90 remain radioactive for many years and carbon-14 for many thousands of years. When these finally fall to Earth, the inevitably become mixed

with our foods and the air we breath; thence they are injested. The human body has a special affinity for these particular elements and concentrates iodine in the thyroid, cesium in muscular tissue, strontium in bones and of course carbon through- out the body. From these locations, then, these radio- active isotopes emit ionising gamma-rays

higtbli

beta-particles. The effect of ionising atoms of the body cells is sometimes only one of slight damage, damage which is not so serious that the cell cannot continue its function. Often, however, the cell will be completely dis- rupted. It will then cease to function, and will later be replaced. Under very intense doses of radiation the re- placement rate may be ex- ceeded by the death rate, so that all body functions would soon cease and death would follow shortly. Such a situa- tion is quite unlikely in areas remote from testing locations and should be considered under the topic of effects of nuclear warfare. Of prime importance to us here is the fact that on rare occasions that portion of a cell which controls its reproductive rate will be damaged so that the cell begins to reproduce in an uncontrolled manner. In this way various types of cancer are initiated.

.

In addition to this increase in internal radiation level, the testing carried out up to 1958 raised the level external to our bodies from 0.110 to 0.12 roentgen per year. Now the effect of this 10% in- crease on the human body is to cause approximately IO ionization events per body cell per year. Clearly the probability of cancer to the individual is increased.

An even more important effect is this increased radia-

SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS TO ATTEND UNIVERSITY FOR A DAY

This Saturday, November 4, will be a very special day in the lives of 165 local students in,Grades 12 and 13. From 9.30 a.m. to 3.30 p.m., these students will be at- tending a seminar on univer- sity life at the University of Waterloo. Choosing a university course is one of life’s most important decisions for the eollege- bound secondary school stu- dent. Equally as important is the challenge of making the adjustment from high school student to university undergraduate.

The guidance counsellors of the secondary schools in the Kitehener-Waterloo area, with the co-operation of the University of Waterloo, have arranged this day-long semi- nar to help the students to find the answers to these problems.

In the morning, they will learn what a university is

and is not, and find out how to apply and enroll. They will listen to undergraduate students explain freshman pitfalls. After being enter- tained at a “Fun with Phys- ics” lecture, they will be given the opportunity to enter into discussions with faculty advisors - Arts, Science, and Engineering.

After lunch with univer- sity students, they will tour the campus as guests of a group of undergraduates.

In the afternoon, each student will attend two leet- ures by university faculty members. A variety of leet- ures will be offered to choose from, according to individual academic interests.

On Saturday, November 11, these students will be guests at the Waterloo-Me- Master football game. Tiek- ets will be distributed at the seminar.

‘1. “GIVE US THIS DAY” , .

’ I r I lay down last Sunday night in a dark and quiet room and thought deeply. Uninterrupted thought is a stimulating and somewhat frightening experience. I thought about the world and *the .position ;ime find ourselves i,n today.. It is frustrating to be mature enough to comprehend the situation

’ in the world yet to be completely powerless to change it. What can individuals do where governments fail? ‘Life goes on and no one thinks of the brink. If one does think of it, then it ,is usually a momentary and fleeting thing, a depres- sion, which can be dispelled by the simplest of diversions.

It is rather ridiculous to speak of being guaranteed twenty years of further existence when at any moment -an every day variable might snuff it out. But I ask you to @asp the idea I-am trying to convey, the idea of twenty “guaran- teed” years for our generation. The will to live is strong in anyone and while in twenty years we may have had our stay

1 of execution, our children will then be raising their voice in a similar. They too will want their chance at life and they,

,’ like us’ now, will probably place, the blame at the feet of L’ their governments. It is a vicious cycle but vicious as it is, II , the only alternative seems to be a war of complete attrition.

I used to find consolation in history books. Looking at 1 .past conflicts between men I would imagine that those people I probably thought that theirs was the war to end all wars, ‘/ a war which would destroy the world. The world always . , survived in the history book wars and I found consolation

in this fact; Like Hitler, like. Napoleon, like. Attila the ‘Russian threat will roar a challenge and tKen fade off into nothing . . . this I kept telling myself. Thought, deep and silent has battered and destroyed this pillar of consolation. : ..The next war will never make the history books, the end,

. whether quick or lingering, is inevitable. You may think this is an extremely trite topic these days

and I agree with you, it is. “Just another depressive sounding off” you might say, “Just another ‘Ban the bomber’ mumb-

~ ling in his beard.” The real tragedy of this can be brought home to the reader by a simple experiment. Lie down in a dark quiet room, concentrate on it, let the weight of fear press heavily on you, conjur up scenes of horror and suffering,

$ let them seep into you and thesend result will be the same in almost every ease . . . you simply cannot bring- yourself to *take the situation seriously.

I hate the taste of Melba toast.

Of all the nerve! We pre- tend to be here for an education! And exactly-what do you think we’re here for? My dear, disillusioned little boy, maybe your mother has forgotten to tell you, that women are slowly emerging from the Dark Ages; that their goal in life is no longer to be ‘a fringe benefit’ to the Weaker Sex.

Has it ever occurred to you that a girl can have just as great a thirst-for knowledge as any of you untouchable males? Judging from (some) most of your weekend a&vi, ties, we’d say. the only thirst you have is for wine, women and more of both. ‘Some of us, you’ll be shocked to know, are putting ourselves through school. We’ll be darned (a better word could be used) if we worked for scholarships, have done hard, manual labour all summer, and are still up holding part- time .jobs just so we may have the great honour of being a fringe benefit.

SECOND MAGNITUDE

. By Allen Go1 I am a smoker and a fairly

heavy one. Smoking bothers me in just one way. It’s not the expense, not the anony- mous admonitions of respira- torial !disease, not even the phlegm I cough out of a sore throat in the morning. The true addict does not concern himself with these trivialities. What ruins my day is a cigarette ad. Please don’t tell me your cigarette is like a breath of sprintime or is as fresh as all outdoors. I know springtime outdoors and I know the .taste of cigarettes. As close an anal- ogy could be drawn between my socks and Chanel No. 5.

Or how about this one? A wholesome young couple bi- cycling in the country. Care- ful now, don’t get misty- eyed, they’re braking‘ to a stop. He’s taking out the cigarettes, they’re lightin up. Then, with what bliss that only the television commer- cial can capture, they spend the rest of their allotted sixty seconds exhaling into each other’s face. .

* * * * * / Do you believe it is wiser for a student to %vait at least a year before entering university?

It has been pointed,out many times that education is the preparation to meet and solve life’s problems. Unless you

\_

know first-hand what life’s problems are, the answers you find in University will remain unreal to you, and you’ll wind up with ideal solutions in a world of very unideal people. When a young person has plowed headlong into the world where ethics, morals, hard work, fear and insecurity are very real forces, and then returns to university, what he studies will have a new and vital meaning to him. 1

I expect that those who argue that a student should go ’ directly to university will talk about the danger of marriage and ‘children to their plans. Nuts! The idea that life ends wh?n you get married is an old wive’s tale invented to keep their daughters at home. Further, I am walking evidence that a lack of money cannot keep you out of university. If you want to study you canfind a way.

I say meet life, then go to university. The insight ‘and maturity gained will far overshadow any time lost. l ., Leo Johnson, Arts II

Nor There are two main arguments for waiting a year before ‘entering college, with which I disagree. One of them is the idea that working for a year will acquaint the individual with the working class, enabling him to see both what work- ing is like for himself and how other workers manage in society. Well, there aren’t very many students who haven’t been working at a variety of summer jobs for several years before they graduatezfrom high school, so that most students do acquire this necessary knowledge. Also, from the more practical point of view, most companies don’t want to employ someone for a one year period.

The second argument is that this time lapse will mature the/ student, so that he will appreciate the value of his education, and so study hard. I disagree. The student will have developed his study habits in high school, and working for a year won’t change his character if he’s inclined to be lazy. It might even do him some harm; a lot can be forgotten in a year. _ ’

Idefects has been increased bv approximately 15,000 due i;;b testing up to 1958. The total effect of this testing on the world’s .population, taking into consideration the life- times ‘of the various fission products, is estimated at one million defective children and two million embryonic and neonatal deaths.

It should be pointed out that these estimates may well be out by a factor of 10, - greater or less. Also, there is no evidence to suggest that cancerous and genetal effects are subject to some minimum threshold radiation level. Un- fortunately, a few scientists who, by coincidence, have a great interest in nuclear ’ bomb development, claim ” that a threshold does ,exist; . They make this claim on the grounds that the increase in effects, as predicted above, has not been observed. Of course, they know very, well that this increase is too small to be observed in the world’s population. of 3 billion.

Evidently we must evalu- ate the direct effects of nuclear bomb. testing from the humanitarian viewpoint. It is claimed that this testing helps to maintain the balance of power between Eas.t and West and therefore to ensure the safety of the world’s population. How many hum- ans should be sacrificed to this cause? From- the above figures the answer would . appear to be, at least several million, if, in fact this does ensure our safety. Even if we agree that testing is serving this purpose .the ’ maintenance of the balance of power does not require the continued testing of multi- megaton bombs. Ironically the ultimate end of these

“TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT” By G. Whiz

I happened to hear Al Jolson sing one of his best known songs on the radio. I attempted to project myself back into his era and find reasons for his popularity. After pondering the pros and cons, I concluded that his fame was a fluke. Times change. Yesterday he was the greatest singer on the air and today, he couldn’t be a headliner at the Moosonee Folk Festival. Apart from the fact that the man is dead, he still couldn’t make it. You know what I mean.

* * * * I have sung it fast % and slow. I have sung it with a

haunting lilt. I have bellowed out the finish in a thunderous crescendo but it matters not which way I do it, the second last line of our new school song will not work - for me at least. The only way it can work is to have the singer slur his lyrics in the true Sinatra fashion. Never let it be said that I am the one who fired the torpedo which sunk this fair song, I advocate that we give it every chance at the game th& &$urday. That second last line is a dandy though,

. *,* * *

Africa is the Negro’s continent. People who believe otherwise simply will not regard the writing on the wall. The whites in Africa are holding to an old and dated colonial belief that a drop of milk in a gallon of ink will turn the ink white.

* * * * It has been almost a week now and I am still undecided

whether or not I was fortunate in seeing the first presentation of the film society “Hiroshima Mon Amour.” To write a penetrating and meaningful review of such a film is beyond my capabilities. It was so deep, so intense, so charged with a pathetic desperate atmosphere that I really can’t say whether I enjoyed it or not. It was like my first Chinese food dinner, I felt that I disliked it but wanted to go back for more. For the first twenty or thirty minutes I thought “Here is something which will really nail this atomic thing down, something which will jar the scientists and politicians back to reality.” After some shocking scenes, the “Hiro- shima” aspect was played down and the “Mon Amour” came to the fore. In this part, I was looking for an allegory so deep that I doubt if it ever did exist.

* * * * Harking back to an old theme, I would say that the

good old U. of W. is still unchanged. The great dark cloud of Apathy which engulfed us last year has not blown away. One would think that a larger enrollment might have dis- pelled it to some degree but instead the cloud has thickened - As far as I ca.n make out, the freshmen of this year are on a par with last year’s bunch - stagnant. Name calling is childish you say but when you realize that no one is about to protest, it can be rather fun.

* * * * I have heard of dissension in the ranks and fifth column

efforts but this is a dandy. The cheerleaders, one in par- ticular is putting forth her own school cheering song in what can only be viewed as direct competition to the present “song”. Say, I’m really beating that poor song into the ground. I apologize. Well anyhow, back to the cheerleader’s entry, brace yourselves, here it is.

“Come on get wise you guys We are from Waterloo We’ve got a winning team We’ll walk right over you The Engineers are here The Arts and Science too So give a great big cheer For the U. of W.

This is sung to the tune of M’Lord and when you examine it hum it and sing it you will see that it is not without merit.

Stop the presses, we have another entry for a school song.

Have you ever paused to mefleet as you’ve watched a jarticularly fine specimen of ‘emale pulchritude move beross your range of vision nto the middle distance, ust what it was about the roung lady that first attract- :d your attention? (OK, get Tour mind off that track and [‘ll qualify that statement by imiting you to a back view.) :Don’t be shocked, young ady, it happens on the best If campi.) Of course, it’s her egs! (We’re batting a thous- ind.) And delving further nto the problem, let’s con- ;truct an ideal, completely mpersonal Miss “8” (“8”) )eing the mathematical sym- 101 for girl, a broad inter- x etation) completely devoid If physical attributes with ;he exception of the most gorgeously constructed fe- murs imaginable.

Using these as a founda- tion, just what other virtues would she need to possess; what charms of personality and thrills of character would be hers as a result?

This is one time that dreaming could pay off for you because if you find this young lady on campus, (and remember, a dream, not a nightmare, if you can eulo- gise her (that means ‘praise’.) in writing; something you’d let mother read, and if you’ll turn the finished product in to the Board of Pubs before Dee. 4th’ you stand a good chance of going to the Christ- mas Dance as a guest of the 7oryphaeus. Letters will be judged on enthusiasm as well as on literary merit and if you’re really bashful, (and which of us isn’t) you may turn in a pseudonym with an envelope which will be open- ed only after the contest.

Now if you want to be a cinch to win, try being original. Just think of what your mistress of the moment will say when you non- chalantly mention that you- ‘re taking her back to your room to eulogize her; or how she’ll react when she under- stands that you’re interested with her legs from a literary standpoint. and you’ll really bowl ‘em over in Bedlam with “Wear these shin-pads, dear, I don’t want anything to happen to our tickets.”

Once again, we mention that our interest is only in the academic and it is with some pride that we mention that this little number has required 7 euphemisms, 9 inuendos, a slur and three levels of allegory. Gee I guess you’d better read it again.

Dr. 6. Berman Professor of Mathematics

“I think Canada is obli- gated to tie her defense in wibh that of the United States. There is no other defense for Canadian cities. It’s just as likely the Russian warheads will be aimed’ at Toronto, or any other Cana- dian city. There is no reason to expect that the Russians will just pick on the States; if they thought they could take over all the countries, they would.” So says Dr. Gerald Berman, a native of Saskatchewan and a gradu- ate from the University of Toronto in 1950.

After graduation, Dr, Ber- man taught Mathematics at the Illinois Institute of Tech- nology and simultaneously worked as a consultant on nozzles (a piece at the back of rockets which generates the force) for the Armour Research Institute in Chi- cago, which is a research institute for industry. His association here was at the time when American missiles were first being designed. He also worked at the Institute for Air Weapons Research, University of Chicago, on a study of what type of weap- ons the government should buy. These last two summers Dr. Berman has worked as a consultant in Operations Re- search at the Martin Com- pany in Colorado. This is the company that produces the Titan Missile - the largest and most effective long-range missile in the U.S. The Atlas goes just as far (long-range meaning it can go to any point in Russia from any- where in the U.S.) but the Titan is the most successful because it can carry the largest nuclear warheads.

When asked whether he felt the U.S. should be spend-

ing more money on reserach and less on defense, Dr. Berman replied, “A very large percentage of the mon- ey that is spent, is spent on science - every rocket they send up has data equipment in the nose-cone. Recently the U.S. has been doing some very important scientific work. I think the Russians have sent up only one missile for information purposes, and that was to photograph the other side of the moon. Putting the man into orbit was dramatic, but it was not as scientific as they ‘made out. It seems to me that the Russians send those men up just for propaganda and not for scientific reasons.” He went on to say that the Russians allow their scien- ’ tists to do research only on projects with a more obvious- ly military purpose, whereas the U.S. gives money to just any projeet of significance, such as Algebra Research. They are willing to support the long-term goal of more scientific knowledge, though of course they are primarily interested in projects with a military application.

Dr. Berman believes very definitely that Canada should spend more money on de- fense, with part of this money going to Universities for research. “After all, uni- versities are part of our defense too.” At present, he says, Canada supports re- search in universities very little. When the government does support it, it is with a nominal sum.

In reply to a query as to whether we should be pro- ducing more scientists, Dr. Berman sa.id, “I try to encourage students to enter science, but at the same time I warn them that they will probably end up in the States. We don’t have many

The meeting of the Engin- eering Society, was held on Tuesday, October 31st. R,ati- fixation of the proceedings of the previous meetings was again held over because a quorum was not present.

Dave Rumpel, ’ Student Council representative, re- ported, that the Student Council wtis issuing univer- sity Christmas cards; he questioned the action the Engineering Society had tak- en concerning its own cards. He also requested assistance from the Engineering Society members to help build a’ float representing the Uni- versity of Waterloo in the float parade to be held on’ November 25th in the Twin cities. Also needed are sixty- five students to act asclowns on the same day. % ,

The question of the Christ- mas cards was; raised when it ,was discovered that the ’ Engineering Society has about 150 dozen cards al- ready bought and the sale of these would be interfered with by the University cards, It was decided that no objec- tion would be raised against the Student Council cards and the sale of the Society cards would be left to the discretion of the Second Vice- President.

The Treasurer’s report showed approximately $425 on hand. It was suggested a petty cash fund be set up. Twenty dollars was set aside for this.

The. Grey and Gold will not be holding any danees until perhaps the 25th of November. This is because the Gym has been reserved for dances by other societies. Question of a tea dance after the McMaster i Waterloo football game was raised at this tjme. It was pointed out that we had received. the same’courtesies at MeMaster.

A committee under the direction of Ron Walker was set up to look into the use of our electrical equipment at Seagram Gym and also the charges of the use of ]the Gym.

The next meeting will be on Tuesday, November 7th, at 5,.10 p.m. ’

The promised constitution, of which there will soon be a precis in the paper, will be presented for acceptance on November 21st. ’ ’

WTHER THE’ ENGINEWS . - or perhaps the Engineers’ .

The Enginews, forerunner of the Corgphaeus, became part of the Corgphaeus when the Arts and Science Facul-. ties came to campus. The name *was retained for the engineering news section partly for sentimental re ons and partly in hopes t P

s- at

ews. What few items of

engineering students /would rally under a flag. The flag is now at half mast.

Most of the engineering students at Waterloo ’ have about as much constructive interest in school life as Lady Godiva ‘in her clothes. This has-been shown by the lack of attendance at recent Engineering Society meet- ings. The only times I have yet seen the engineers sit up with interest was every time a new girl passed by and at the open meeting last year which was to discuss a pro- posed party for students who had been active in school aetivities. It turned into a name calling row with those who had done absolutely nothing resenting the possi- bility of reward for those who had done some work.

I guess I am now becoming exactly what I set out to condemn - someone ,who complains and offers onlv suggestions. That is true bu?, I am taking a little action by symbolicaliy burying Engin;

interest; there are to engin- eering students will still ap- pear on this page but the name’will be lacking “Doom- ed by starvation to the unknown.” The name will

* never reapfiear in the Corv- phaeus which is a scholol and not a faculty newspaper.

This means mainly that -all writings of the Engineer- ing faculty must approach the same calibre as each of the other faculties. This is a good thing beCause, although I ’ engineering students tend to be very narrow minded, the i potential for good writing is present and need only be brought forth by proper means (vitamins, truth ser- um, ,a sharp kick, solutions of ethanol, etc.)

This can be’ summed up by our favourite formula:

I=MR2 Where

PROFILE of ‘Dr. Berman Cibt’d. ’ top scientific jobs to go around, so we lose most of our top people. Canadians are very well accepted in the U.S. I think this is because such a small percentage of our students do go on that the ones who do are usually good ones. There are a lot of Canadians in top jobs in U.S. industry. It’s almost easier for a Canadian scientist to get a job down there than it is for an American citizen. If the U.S. ever closed their borders to Canadians, we would have a suplus of good people - we *wouldn’t know what ,to do with them! Here you don’t see- anything in the papers saying there is a shortage of engineers, where- as you do in the States.”

i therefore get people with different outlooks on life. Canadian opinions are very much the same -, you can pretty well guess what the general Canadian opinion will be on a topic. You couldn’t say this as easily about graduates in the U.S. The courses here haven% changed much - they are taking the same thing in ’ Toronto as I took.”

Dr. Berman feels that Canadian universities are more regimented here than in the States; that is, that we keep a stricter adherence to a certain, fixed curricula. “In fact most Canadian uni- versities offer the same ma- terial in their lectures. In the U.S., the courses you take depends on the university you go to. There are, of course, disadvantages to this, but one advantage is that in the U.S. people with the same’degree have taken dif- ferent sets of courses and you

Later, returning to the topic of universities, and more particularly Waterloo, , he added, “All that I have said on Canadian universi- ties in general, doesn’t apply to’ Waterloo. Waterloo\won’t be just another Canadian university. We’ve already seen this in the development of the Co-operative Engin- eering course. Our courses in Science are more modernized because we started from scratch. Already our courses 1 are better than those of any ’ other Canadian university’. , I think our school is better than Toronto.” ’ . Science may prove to run in Dr. Berman’s family. The ’ other day one of his three sons told him he was going to build a machine that could make anything he wanted. This is the kind of scientist our future could use!
