I feel that John Braun is the man for President of Student Council. I am posi- tive that John has the ability and the desire necessary to do the job that needs to be done in the coming year.

John Braun is a second year Honour Science student ma joring in Physics and Chemistry. He certainly is a hard worker both in his studies and in his extra- curricular activities. After twp short years at the Uni- versity John has an impres- sive record of service in student activities. He has had two years of experience In student government a. Science Representative on Student Council. He is at g;;;?nt Chairman of. the L Union Building Comkittee which is working on ideas ior the Campus

. Centre. In addition John is the 61-62 Vice-President of the Science Society. I have observed that John takes

&n and the ability ti, tiake‘ decisiotis. He also knows how to encourage others to take responsibility. In other words John Braun is a good leader. Our Student Council needs a president who can take lead- ership.

‘ John has been active out- ’ side of student government

as well. He ;:::~.s Chairman e of the Christmas Banquet

Committee in 1960 and 1961. In this capacity he was responsible for the planning and organization of the Ban- quek Anyone who attended the Christmas Banquet

knows that John did a splen- did job.

John is a member of the Music Council, the Univer- sity Chorus and the Glee Club. He is also a sportsman, having played on the cham- pionship University Volley- bti*ms : One &n reahifnji, see th& John Braun is interested in all phases of student activi- ties. Since the ‘function of Student Council is to co- ordinate and stimulate stu- dent activities, its president must have a keen interest in these.

I invite you to examine John’s past record of service and his ideas for the future. To me they say one thing: “John Braun is the man for President!” I am sure? that you, the students, will come to the same conclusion.

Malcolm Cock, Campaign Manager

I will not deny that th.ere is a certain amount of per- sonal glory in being elected as head of the student body; however, if your Student Council president is a good president, the personal glory is lost in his desire to serve you, the students, as well as he can. You should know that such a desire is part of ‘both Dave and -me. I assure you neither of us, whether as a successful candidate ‘01 as a defeated one, will be inactive in student affairs. It is up to you to decide which candidate will be most effec- tive as S. C. president.

Your decision will most likely depend on each can- didate’s experience and past actions. Some of my interests have already been presented by my campaign manager. Allow me, however, to men- tion that, had time allowed, I certainly would have been active in more of the student organizations.

The question now is: “What would you like to see Student Council do?” Based

on my affection for the University, and concern for student needs and activities, I present the following plat- form :

1. I wish to see a ‘speed- UP’ in the planning and building of our Student Union Building or Campus Centre (as you will).

2. More publication of Student Coullcil business is definitely in order.

3. Student Council must lead the way in activating student interest in student affairs.

4. We, as a student body, contribute a considerable amount of money to NFCUS central ofice. I’m sure that our stpdents can* receive benefits from this assoc- iation.

5. Either directly or indir- ectly, our S. C. should spon- sor debates centred on con- troversial topics. Let us not be a University .with no opinions.

‘6. Our University is young, With proper direction, sup

The time for electioni of President and Vice-President of the Science, Students’ Council for the l-962-1963 academic year is here.

These elections are not to be confused with the elec- tions for Students Council.

Nominations will be re- ceived between March 9 and March 16. Voting will be on March 23. All undergraduate Science students of the Uni- versity of Waterloo are elig- ible to vote.

Besides electing a Presi- dent and a Vice-President, there ‘are some amendments to the CQiistitution to be voted on, ‘: ..

On Friday, you will go to the polls and ca.st your ittle ballot for the candidate of your choice. As things itand this year, you have a fifty-fifty chance of getting rour man into office. We urge you to read the plat- ‘arm of both candidates, look at the previous records tnd cast your ballots accordingly - BUT CAST YOUR BALLOTS, this is the point we want to mpress upon you.

As you know, elections vi11 be held tomorrow for ?resident of the Students Council. The candidate chos- tn will be responsible for )ver $5000.00 of your money; le will be responsible for )romotion of Waterloo’s re- mutation off campus. Campus ife will also be his respon- ;ibility.

1. The Financial Responsi- liZ&: To guide the spinding If the $5000.00 aild to receive ;he maximum benefit from ;hat money requires experi- ?nce that I have received this fear as treasurer.

2. The Reputation of The U?tiversity of Waterloo: Wat- 2rloo’s reputation is based on Ither students’ opinion of lur Students Council. It is it conferences. seminars and Sicial fun&q th;tt &he $tJBik?RtS Ck3i);~ 3?iTS~~~t”’ is judged: ?%e~ impression’ made at these functions forms the basis of outside Dpinion. I feel that former Students Councils have fall- zn down for they have been too “isolated”. Nothing has ever concerned them unless it affected individual stu- dents. More contact with

. other universities and with ’ outside student organizations . is needed.

3. Campus Aspect of St& dents Council: My opponent has outlined the majority of things which need attention. No sincere person can quarrel with his aims although the ’ methods to achieve these aims may vary. *\One thing I feel must be improved is the Students Cou&il - Ad- ministration relationship - Often both parties go their separate ways because corn- I munication between the two is inadequate.

Instead of making many vague promises, I will only say this: “I promise to fulfil1 the position to the best of my ability and I ’ promise to obtain more stu-. ...., &3t participatiork - iB student~activities.”

Mr. Amacker writes: “Dear Mr. Taylor:

My congratulations to you and the Campus Centre Committee for the approach you are taking in establishing the Centre.

Our Centre has been open for three years and I can say without reservation that it

has completely changei the campus, the student body and the entire college com- munity.

Our Centre is, in practice, directed by a student board who has full control over all policies (except Food Ser- vice Operations) providing they follow the policies of the College and State of Wisconsin.

To me this is our largest achievement. A Centre, if-3 is to be the true living room , of the campus and the so&al recreational centre of the University, should be direct- ed toward. the groups it’ serves and that they should have a large voice in 6 ita policies, practices and-’ op-

“not funny enough” to, “too much religion”. We are not publishing a humour sheet, nor is it our intention to issue something which reads like The JVatchtozoer. IV% have been striving for the golden mean, something for everyone. We do the best we can with what we have and find comfort in the old adage, “You can’t please them all”.

We have been asked, “What is the specific aim of this newspapei . *?” To speak candidly, there ase no formal aims as such but we consider it our f-:r:ction to provoke and publish student thought on any * -topic whi& we think pertinent. Primarily, we are not a newspaper in the true sense of the word, for two specific reasons: firstly, there are few activities or events on campus which are sf interest to any great part of the student body, you can read “news” in the local daily; secondly, we have an awkward 65 hour deadline to make, and in this period of time, news which may have been current has become old hat.

foundation and are most unwelcome.

As we are thoroughly aware by now, Dead week has been abruptly buried. The reason given is the im- possibility of fitting the var- iety of electives allowed stu- dents into a two-week period. This is most understandable, but the shortness of notice is incomprehensible.

That the University was going to be flexible in the granting of electives, the Registrar has known since last Spring. The choices made by students of electives, he has known since September. To give us but six weeks fdrewarning is incredibly un- businesslike and thoughtless.

Since it has taken the Registrar twelve months from the publication of the Calendar to realize the diffi- culty of fitting our exams into two weeks, I suggest that he would be even less prepared than some of us to write exams without a week’s study.

I do not know of another Canadian university which expects its students to write exams without a week’s pre- paration. Most allow at least two weeks - some three. Certainly none would offi-

I strongly suspect that if professors were told, six weeks from the end of the year, that their lecture hours were to be cut by a week, they would be as angry as we and as justified in being so, and would not speak as sanctimoniously as the now do, as if six weeks were six months and ample time for a complete reorgan- ization of plans.

For some of us it’s not even a question of reorganiz- ing our work so as to leave time for study. We can’t! Our six weeks afe so stuffed with work t#hey have a stomach-~aclic~ It’s a question of plunging into exams with no study.

Most students have looked ahead, as the Registrar seerns incapable of doing, and have planned for and counted on that week.

Some of us will remember the confusion surrounding last year’s exam time table. I trlist the plea of inexperi- ence and of it being a particularly bad year (first year of Arts, etc.) will not be submitted again.

Of course he is under no obligation to give it, but we would appreciate an explana- tion from Mr. Hymmen as to why it has taken so long to discover the difficulties of scheduling our exams in a two-week period.

erations. ’ This philosophy takes con-

siderable patience and the students do make mistakes. With the proper training they are capable of much more than we often realize, particularly where their own activities are concerned.

My own personal attitude is often disputed and argued but I continue to ba.se most of the Union’s activities on its foundation. It is simply this, ‘With increasing enroll- merits, faculty-student ra- tions, etc., the personal con- tact between the average faculty member and the in- dividual student is often lost or at least decreased. The students see their professors from eight a.m. to five p.m. in most cases or may have infrequent contact with them at other hours. In order to fulfil1 our obligation of edu- cation the whole student, to life as well as in the academic pursuits we must provide some educative process dur- ing a portion of the remain- ing 15 hours each day. To me a Student Centre does this with its many activities, boards, committees, etc. If it can continue to educate the student, however subtly, after 5 p.m. it is performing its role. How you go about achieving these ends of course depends on many factors. I feel it can be done best by letting the students do it themselves, with all the

What do you think? If you have any personal

views, drop a line to Campus Centre Committee or tive it to any of the followilcg stu- dents: John Braun (SC. II), Lew Taylor (SC. II); Nancy Rutherford (Arts I), or Frank Anrep (Eng. V).

ported by our Student Coun- cil and student body, the University could eventually be recognized as a Canadian centre of culture.

7. Student Council hleet- ings are generally quite lenghty. More efficient use of time is possible.

8. The S. C. Constitution should be completed and ratified within the next year.

9. In addition, I hope to see the work being done on a standard University of Wat- erloo jacket completed reas- onably soon.

10. And this to the stu- dents who care to use their rights : your suggestions, re- quests, and ‘beefs’ are essen- tial to an active student government.

I cannot promise to fulfil1 all these aims, but I promise to make them my motiva- tion, if I become Student Council president.

I here make two major requests: First, that you choose wisely the person who will head Student Council and, therefore, will represent you in the coming year; Second, that in each faculty, you select from the best students, your representati- ves to Student Council. If Dave become president, you and he may be assured of my support.

Re: Evening -111 Attended. Dear Mr. Editor: I should like to begin by

saying that I think your criticism of “Three For an Evening” was a fair one. However, even though the criticism was an “amateur” undertaking, I must take exception to three points:

1. Whatever was meant by “Keep climbing, Alvin . . . “, escaped my powers of per- ception. To say the least the remark was in very poor taste; it has, rather, a taint of gross disrespect. Dr. Dust has a Ph.D. It should be self-evident that even in the most informal atmosphere, “sir” would be a proper form of address unless another was specifically invited. This is common decency. I feel that an apology is warranted.

Two weeks ago the Coru- . &aeus, a great deal of ink was used in explaining just why a Student Centre w&s indispensable. Apparently, . enormous advantages would derive from bl.lilding such a Centre; we would obtain “School Spirit.”

I submit that, + at the a present time, building of a Student Centre would be . absolutely unjustified.

2. Doug Macintosh did a fine job & a very difficult role as Ian Mackay and I feel he deserves spec’lfic men- tion.

I attended “Three for an Evening” presented by the University Drama and Music Councils. The performances were excellent; Marybeth Boon gave a sensitive rendi- tion of a difficult part in the tragedy; the musical num- bers were well done; Terry Jones and Louise Maggio led , a fine supporting cast through a hilarious comedy. Yet attendance was very poor; the students of the University iwere not even interested enough to &urn out and support their fellow students. Indeed, the Corv- phneus, displaying a lack of responsibility that is rare among student newspapers, did not even write up an article about the forthcoming show; most student news- papers would have done their utmost to publicize the show.

3. “At the risk of feeding a monster ego . . . “; as far as I am concerned, this is another attempt at humour that never quite materialized - The gentleman with the most monstrous ego of them all was the one who wrote the article.

As to the choice of plays, the Drama Council was lim- ited by a lack of funds, ($200 was the total amount available), which had to cover the cost of the +-s, (meagre of necessity) pl.Olt- ing of tickets, royalties, and sundry incidentals such as movers, electricians, etc.

Ed. Note: “Lack of Responsi&lity”

is a phrase which sh.ould not be used lightly.

As to views on religion, if the discussion of such a topic embarrasses you, I do not believe that .you are under any obligation to read this paper.
