EDITORIAL On the occasion of his installation as

P rincipa l and Vice-Chancellor of our U niversity on October 19, 1962, Mr. Robert C. Rae reminded us o f one of the "Conceptions" of Sir George Williams University 's " Functions" as developed by our late P rincipa l, Dr. Kenneth E. orris. That fu nction wa quoted as fol lows:

"That from the poiut of v iew of societ y, each unmet educationa l need , each indi­v idual not given education commensurate with hi ab ility , represent a social wastage and a cha llenge Lo action on the part of the College (now niversity)."

In his comments on how ir George is measuring up to "a challenge of action" Principal Rae stated:

"We ca ll upon t he public a ut horities of City and Province, upon the responsib le citizens of t his and other communities, upon our Alumni and fri ends to provide t he means whereby Sir George can meet its share of the educationa l demands and needs of t he present and the immecLiate future" .

Whi le t he Association of Alumni is now lending active support to the Board of Governors, the Facu lty and the Adm inis­tration in extending the " Georgiao" heri tage io education, we have on ly done so in token measures.

In the Spring of next year t he U niver ity will launch a major appea l for capital fund s to ex tend the phy ical faci lities of Sir George. The extra space and facilities are desperately needed if we are to avoid "social was tage" and make some provision for giving to some of the individua ls 'education commensurate with bis abi li ty '.

P resently, only 1 out of every 5 grad­uate · of our U niversity is supporting Sir George t hrough its Association of Alumni. This is not good enough- a token measure. vVe must be prepared to shoulder our responsibilities no only as private citizens but as sons a nd daughters of our Alma Mater. As member of the As ociation we mu t participate in the genera l and con­tinuing assista nce the As ociation gives to the U niver ity by paying our Annua l Due . When specia l needs of the Univer­sity have to be met, such as t he coming Capita l F und Campaign, then we must be ready to erve and give generously.

If any one of us were asked to partici­pate in a program of "Social Wastage" we wou ld be honified , but passive respon e to our U niversity's needs would make each of us guilty of jus t such action. I submit, that each of us wants to be a sociated with a growing a nd going concern. Your active support is needed now.

NOW: Look to Canada for integrated

broad-scale communications systems Look to Northern Electric, Canada's major man­ufacturer of Communications equipment. Its 18,000 skilled employees produce everything from miniature components to complete com­munications systems for telephone companies and the armed forces. They do it in seven plants in central Canada, backed up by a vigorous re­search and development organization.

Northern Electric has produced radar and in­tercommunications equipment for SAGE, along with digital data transmitter and receiver equip­ment ... parametric amplifiers for the BMEWS scatter communications systems ... and was asso­ciated in the manufacture of large numbers of AN/FRC39 scatter equipment.

Communications cables of every kind are prod­uced in Northern Electric's modern cable works. Canada's most comprehensive cable process and materials control laboratories ensure manufac­ture to the most exacting specifications.

Our exp erience spans over forty years of de­sign and production on d'1fence equipment. Our communications research laboratories are the largest of their kind in Canada.

Just met C. ALE ' A D ER BROWN (B .A. '63). H e is on h is way to T oronto and expects t o be working with the Trade U nion very sbortly.

During Ju ly I attended the ANNUAL AMERICAN ALUM N I CONVENTION in Atlantic City, a long with several hun­dred other AJumni Directors from a ll over

orth America . There were many intere ting sessions

and much to learn , but in one week it was impossible to absorb all the information that was available.

H owever- two things were made very clear and I would like to pas these a long now.

First , you the Alumni , the tota l of each and every Alumna and Alumnus, are a very important group and

Second, there is a very impressive group of peop le who are concerned about you and interest ed in you .

Tbe emphasis in Alumni act ivit ies t oday is on the relationship of Alumni groups to their inst itutions. Programs geared t o further the U niversit y's aims and strengthen its po ition in the commu- · nity have rep laced , in great measure, the " T ea party era" of form er clays.

The main a reas of Alumni activity a.re: (1) F und rai ing; (2) Recruiting; (3) R ep­resenting the U niversity; (4) Serving in an advisory capacity; (5) Sponsoring socia l furJCtions that bring Alumni closer toge­ther and closer to their 'Alma Mater'.

Some of you may disagree with the order in which I have list ed these facet s of alum rii activ ity; the order is a ma tter of persona l opinion.

"Here is$11~84~ now you can go to college."

A frightening figure, you' ll agree, but it is also a conser vative one. Your son or daughter will thank you and you will thank the Sun Life for g uaranteeing your child the needed funds for a col­lege education.

The financial means to educate your children should be provided for NOW. With a Sun Life Educational Endow­ment Policy, your son or daughter will be guaranteed funds for college - even if you should die in the meantime.

Why not consult the Sun Life repre­sentative in your neighbourhood for further details. You won't regret it. *an estimate of college costs in the 'seventies

Students at Sir George vVilLiams U niversity will come up with anot her big effo r t next mont h wit h the presentation o[ the Fifth Annual Seminar on Internatioual Affa irs .

The t heme of t his yea r's semina r is" Aspect s of Internat iona l Aid" and t be subject will get fu ll discu sion from t he point of view of the programs and methods of the donor countries and t he recipients.

Expected t o run Crom ovember 5-9 t he semina r wi ll draw some 125 delegates from a number of Canadian and U.S . un.iversit ies as well as representati ves from Ghana, Lebanon, E ngland, India and t he U .S.S.R.

So far orga n.izers of t be p rogram have received replies from t hree of the fi ve speakers invited. Prof. J obn Chip man of t he Uni versit y of Minnesota will speak on " Tbe role of Ed ucat ion in Aid Programs," Prof. Pau l Lambert of the U niversity of Liege will discuss "The R ole of P lanning in Aid Programs," and D r. E. D . Whittkower of McGill will ta lk about "Cultu re Sbock and its Effect on Aid P rograms."

There w_ill a lso be a panel discussion on the differences between Soviet and American aid programs.

Tbe SGWU effort is believed to be the only seminar of its kind organ ized entirely by students. Organizers led by fourth-yea r psychology major , Ann Armstrong, ba ve so far collected over $1,000 from industrial concerns and t he St udents' Undergraduate Societ y has undertaken to meet the balance of the cost wnich may be as high as $5,000 .

Explaining t he purpose of the seminar , Miss Armstrong sa id that students from all over the world wit h different backgrounds will have an opportunity t o discuss some of t he problems wbich would face them as leaders when t hey left college.

" The best t ime fo r people to unders tand each other," 'she said , " is when they a re in universit y where they a re receptive to new ideas."

"While we are unable to reach everyone," she added, " those who come are usually in fl u­ential on their respective campuses and will likely be responsible people when they leave universi ty."

Last year's conference drew some 100 delegates who beard speakers discuss t he topic "Nationalism and After. "

PLANS FOR NEW BUILDING COMPLETE

CONSTRUCTIONSCHEDULED FOR OCTOBER

Labs, Cafeteria, Computer Centre - Features of New Building

by Sylvia Kozierok (from the Georgian)

University expansion is no longer a dream or a prayer. The new building is to be located on Burnside from Bishop to MacKay Streets , extending north about 280 feet towards Sherbrooke Street with an area lot of 73,310 square feet. This site was chosen for its accessibility , particularly to evening students, and because it can be integrated with existing facilities.

Before construct ion plans could begin , the university needed to have a city By-Law on height restriction in the area of the proposed new building amended. It was also necessary to purchase a small strip of land on Burnside Street from the City of Montreal. The By-Law was changed in less than a year, which is apparently the shortest time to date. The deed for the strip of land owned by the city was banded to the University in September.

CONSTRUCTION TO BEGIN

Demolition and excavation for the new 10-storey building are scheduled to begin the first week in · ovember. Foundations will start at the beginning of the winter season, and the erection of st eel will begin in the summer of 1964.

For economy of construction and effi­ciency of operation, the building has been designed as a cube: t en st oreys high , 239 feet from east t o west and 220 feet from north to south. The t otal area of the building, including basements, mezzanines, and mecbauical rooms, will be 672,000 square feet .

The building will be entirely air condi­tioned, so that maximum efficiency is assured, particularly during the summer t erm . Vertical transportation will be by a set of escalators (one up, and one down), 2 passenger elevators and a freight elevator . Some of the facilities in the new building will be 11 auditoria, 42 class­rooms, 15 seminar rooms, a 350- eat theatre-a uditorium , a Fine Arts tudio, an Exhibition Hall , a Psychology laboratory, a Sociology workroom , Faculty offi ces for about 130 staff members, a Science Library (30,000 volumes), a Freshman Library (20,000) volumes), a cafeteria , ·nack bar, computer centre, and laboratories for undergraduate studies, for research and for graduate work. There will also be 4 student common rooms and a s tudent activities centre.

The main library in the present building will expand , probably t o the area on the fifth floor which will be vacated by the Biology and Physics Departments. The admini trative offices, including those of the Principal, the R egistrar, and the Bursar, will remain in the present build.ing.

BILL 61

The financial situation of this $21 million project appears very optimistic. The Provincial Government will under­write a good portion of the cost through Bill 61. Under this Bill , the Province of Quebec will invest money in the Univer­sity for capital expenditures. The U niver­sity has also received a promise of a Canada Council Grant for over $700,000 t owards construction of the Humanities and Socia l Science areas. There are possi­bilities of more grants to come. Tbe balance of the fund s will come from public campaigning-the Young Men's Christian Association plans to hold a Capital Fund Campaign for $5 million in the Spring; and the SGWU Alumni Association, witb Ted Lande, B . Comm. '39, as Chairman , will t ake an acti ve part in this campaign soli­citing the Alumni members.

The University expansion plans are based on an expected enrollment of 5,000 day students and 10,000 evening students by 1970. The new building is not planned as an independent unit but rather as an extension to the present building, with facilities being divided between the two.

All of the laboratories, cafeteria , and other facilities of a fixed nature are designed for the ultimate enrollment. With the advent of the new building, the U niversity will also be able to develop its academic scope and introduce gradua te work.

We are very sorry t o learn of the untimely death of Ernest H aznof (B.Com. '59). Ern.ie was President of the Grad Class of 1959, a very popular student and will be greatly mis ed by h.is many friends.

Message f rom the Minister of Youth

Why Do We Need A Ministry Of Education In my view, the creation of a Ministry of Education seems to be a matter of the most urgent necessity for Quebec today, because I believe that our scien­tific, technical and economic progress is in imminent danger of being paralyzed if we are not able to provide speedily for the vast army of our young people, the means they need for adequate develop­ment in knowledge , culture and human values.

Each year we are sacrificing the future of tens of thousands of children, because our incoherent system does not give them the training they require; we are wasting tens of millions of dollars because of a lack of systematic planning.

To devise a progressive school system, to unite all our resources and to coordinate all our efforts, we need a single authority with power to act: the Ministry of Education.

Through a Ministry of Education, we will be able to tear down the partitions which now divide and paralyze our system: the isolation of teachers and professors in separate groups; the compartmentali­zation of the various options of the secondary course; the division between general education, and vocational education ; the separation of the adminis­trative and pedagogical aspects of education; the division between Catholics and Protestants .

The undertaking which we are proposing is tre­mendous, but without it Quebec cannot achieve its true greatness.

The Ministry of Education is not an end in itself : it is a means to an end and our only means of salvation.

ITHACA COLLEGE APPOINTS GEORGIAN

Harry Garfinkle, for the last 10 years a teacher at Saskatchewan Teachers College, R egina, Saskatchewan, has been appointed an assistant professor of education at Ithaca College, effective Sept . 1.

Prof. Garfmkle earned a doctor of philo­sophy degree, education major , at Colum­bia University in 1954. His high school education was in Montreal , Canada. He was graduated from Sir George \Vi ll iams College, Montrea l. with a bachelor of' arts degree.

He received an intermediate teac hers diploma from Macdonald School for Teachers in Quebec in 1945. Two years later be was awarded a master of arts degree from Teachers College, Columbia U niversity. From 194,9 to 1953 Prof. Gar­finkle taught high school classes at the Morningside School in New York City.

He was a member of the Ca nadian delegation to the Oslo Meetin g of the World Conference of Organizations of the Teaching Profession in 1954. In 1958, he was a member of the Province of Saska t­chewan Steering Committee on Education.

He has taught summers at the Univer­sities of Saskatchewa n, B ri tish Columbia, and Alberta .

HOW TO BUY A B.A. Afraid of flunking~ Find a "ghost stu­

dent. " H e knows most of the quest ion. a nd a ll the answers.

A man who makes his living tutoring dull or lazy university tud ents says in a recent Maclean 's that "anyone with enough intelligence to memorize a few pages of foolscap can get tlirough virtua l! y any arts course in Canada."

The tutor calls himself J ohn James; he doesn 't name the university where he practises but be says i t 's a poor year for him if h is stud ents can ' t walk into au examination room without the answer to at leas t sixt y percent of the questions.

James charges $75 and olfers no money­back guarantee though h e claims other tutors do return fees if a client fails. ·

" In the survey course in English litera­ture at the university where I operate, " James says, " I have figm·ed that there are exact ly seventeen possible questions. My friend in t he social sciences, who has great success in making fatheads look like broad minds, maintains that a study of suggested outside reading a lways points to the exam­ination questions.

In the case of senior ar ts courses where

the questions are frequentl y given before­hand, it 's even easier. "Students with tutors simply take the question to the tutor, who provides thoughtful and expen­sive answers." J ames himself, refuses t o write essays or theses for students though he goes make his suggestions at dictation speed and indicates punctuation as he goes along.

If an habitually dull s tudent suddenly turned in a bril liant paper, his lecturer would become . uspicious so, during the year, James provides his clients intell igent questions to ask in the classroom.

" Many who should never have gradua­ted from high school are enab led by my method to obtain that previous BA, which has come to mean so much in our modern world hi o-her income, greater prestige and more opportunity."

The self-service shop will have the books organized by topic and wil l inclu de 100-150 current-release fiction novels. M r. Silver emphatically stated that there would be "no sex or lurid crime."

R evenue from the pocket book shop will go to the University as do the profits from Lhe lobby bookstore.

"CONFUSION" (from the Peterborough Examiner )

(Ed. note: this appeared on July 19, 1963.)

Our eye was attracted by the title of an article in the a lumni magazine of the Sir George \,Villiams College in Montreal: Does t raining in the sciences lead to agnosticism ?'

... This discussion- does science tend to discredit God- is an old one and Dr. Massia h assumes by implicatiou that a belief in God is a lready an a ttribute of the apprentice scientist , and tha t he may be seduced from it by a scientific examina­t ion of the phenomena of the natural world. This is by no means so. Tbe fact is that agnosticism may well lead to a traiuiug in science! What happens after that depends upon the t emperament and the inclination of the scientist concerned .

The assumption that Christian societies (to take one example) are compo ed of people who a re committed to Christianity without exception is erroueous, as a ny clergyman will tell you. As an illustration of this point we cau do no better than to refer to the remarks of Arcbpriest Vita ly Borovoy of the Moscow Patriarchate of the Russian Orthodox Church.

In Montreal at tbe gathering of theolo­gians being held tbis week be said : 'We called ourselves H oly Russia (before the revolution) a nd thought all our people were s trong Christians. But they were only such in name and were not such through conviction. When the time of test came the majority left the Church. They even became our opponents.'

Dr. Massiah 's question should, perhaps, be re-phrased : 'Does training in science confuse scientists when they are outside the laboratory?'

SG WU PRESENTS NEW TV COURSE

FOR CREDIT Economics 211-TV, Introduction to

E conomics, wi ll be telecast on CBMT every Sa turday and Sunday morning from 9:30 to 10:00 a.m. The cow·se will begin September 28 and end April 19. There wi ll be no lectures between Decem­ber 22 and January 18, or on March 28 and 29.

The course wil l be divided into two major parts, macroeconomics and micro­economics. Macroeconomics concerns itself with the entire economy, or with large sectors of it. It deals with matters like our na t ional income, unemployment, inflation, and the nation's monetary and fiscal policies.

The microeconomic section is much more technical: it provides some of the tools of analysis basic to more advanced courses in economics. Attention will be focused on the price system : on consumers' demand and producers' costs , and on the theory of the determination of price and output of firms operating in d ifferent kinds of markets. The tools of analys is acquired in this section wi ll be applied to problems like income distribution, ag riculture, and international trade.

Muriel Buchanan Armstrong, the lec­turer in Economics 21] -TV, received her univers ity education a t t he Universities of Alberta , Manchester, and McGill. She is joint author with D . E. Armstrong of a study "Third Party Inter vention in the Alberta Coal Industry 1900-1951" in H . D . Woods, ed., Pallerns af Industrial Dispute Selllement in Five Canadian Industries. Over the course of the last few years she h~s acted as a news commenta­tor on Trans Canada Matinee for the CBC, as a research ass istant for the

ewfound land R oyal Commission on the R ev ision of Financial Terms of Union , and, with her husband, as a research econom ist for various business firms. Mrs. Armstrong joined the sta ff of Sir George Will iams Universit y in 1957. and is now Assistant Professor in the Department of Economics.

NEW EXCURSIONS IN CANADIA DRAMATIC VERSE

A Review of the Plays of James Reaney and John Reeves

by Stanley Asher

The dramatic efforts of James R eaney and John R eeves fa ll midway belween lwo opposing poles : the poelic drama, and the dramatic poem . Both forms have had a chequered career in Canada 's lellers. A verse drama uses the poetic forms and images as bases for a drama of conflict, climax and denouement. In England , T. S. E liot and Christopher Fry, and perhaps W. H. Auden and Christopher I sherwood in the pre-war generation, p roduced poelic dramas of varying success. In Canada, practitioners of this literary form have been all t oo few (or t oo numerous, depend­ing on where the line is drawn between the two gem es.) Dramatic verse has had a much longer llistory, all the way back to the epics and the King James Bible. In facl , the Bible has acted as the basis for a lmost all of the dramatic poets in Canada , from H eavysege in Confederation days to R obert Norwood in the early twentieth century .

Of the two writers t o be considered, R eeves, because of his rndio heritage, t ends more t owards conforming to the dramatic verse pattern. His A B each o.f S trangers, subtitled A n E xcursion, is a radio play. As such it became known t o Canadians, and soon died as almost all radio plays do, as few are ever printed. H owever, the play was entered in The Ital ia Festival , an international competition for radio dra­mas, and won the first prize in 1959. Subsequently it was presented in various translations in various countries, occasion­ally as a stage piece.

Its poelic qualities are quite noteworthy : R eeves is an accomplished sludent of Dylan Thomas, and it is in the Under Milk Wood tradition that A Beach of S trangers is constructed, replete with strange sound

effecls, sonorous-voiced narrators, and stream-of-consciousness soliloquies ..

There are three main ections, not called acls, in the p lay : most are in prose (albeit a poelic prose): " Here is a beach. Here come driftwood, gulls, anemones and people" are the first prose words spoken after three pages of poetic prologue. In addition to the prologue, lhere are two interludes, between " acts", and an epi­logue, all in verse. Each section portrays one day, from morning t o night ; and all three act s deal with the same day, as een through different characters. The setting is a holiday beach, in summer, in a con­lemporary selting.

All this construction talk sounds fairly straightforward , · almost prosaically dull. But just wait unlil you get past the first few narrators and echoing female choruses. To lhis summer beach come a host of year­round slrangers, to romp or sunbathe or dream of "concubines by the very round dozen." They not only dream with gusto, they are exuberanlly frank in their actions as well . They disport themselves, that is in the case of one Miss Ogilvie, a school­teacher who is one of the female "lead" characters, in topless bikini bathing cos­tumes, for the inexplicable delight of pre­adolescenls. As Phyllis Webb remarked in her review of the book , " Freud would be pleased with Mr. R eeves."

It is strange that the prose, not over­burdened with philosophy to recount, is often more poetic than the poetry, replete with clever puns, " holy padlock", often reminiscent of Dylan Thomas. As an example of the CBC's pace-setting work in radio drama, R eeves' p lay is only partly representative, but remains interesting as bastard poetry of a fairly competent order.

Reaney's way with words is one to reckon with too. Known primarily as a

poet he has wrilten fi ve plays in as many years. One, N ight-Blooming Cereus , was a libretto t o a chamber opera. Three are comedies; The Killdeer, which is the title p lay in t he published collection, is the most interesting.

Images form the crux of the attraction of this play. Particularly do adjectives fascinate the aulhor. Mrs. Gardner is " fu s y, matriarchal , pious, bossy, evan­gelical"-quile an order for an actress to emula te in her role. Madame Fay is " vital, pagan , and dressed in an elegant blouse with a dark skirt st ylishly gored in front."

And Madame Fay is quite a talker­she reveals in short order to her customer how she ran off with her sister's husband, while her own husband killed a whole family in drnnken rage.

The ethereal, other-worldly quality with which R eaney fi lls his play is almost J oycean in its deriva tion, and has been quite successful as a dramatic production in T oronto. It certainly holds its own with the "Theatre of the Absurd" school repre­sented in ew York by Edward Albee and in London by Harold Pinler. This is in a way regrellable, as R eaney's chances of making this or any play a real success, in a country so oblivious to its native theatre as Canada , is negligible.

E ven more avant-garde is his One Man Masque. The lone actor, R eaney himself in its first production, moves about the stage surrounded by properties in orderly confusion-cradle, coffin , babby carriage, bed and rocking chair among them. In the first scene, the narrator impersonates a baby who fought off rats in his mother 's womb for "the diamond" in his mind.

Also in bis catalogue of sixteen mono­logues, tracing a meaningless cycle of life, is a sexual deviate who happens to be principal of a fancy boys' school , down to a depraved dwarf, who performs jests in the role of court jester that are cruel and hideous beyond any in history or fiction.

The masq ue ends with the " H oly Ghost" of Jolrn 1ilton rescuing a cradle from the sea.

The poetic images, edged in acid satire, arn memorable. All that some readers might ask is that the sum total of this d is­turbing piece be more intelligible- without lo ing the haunting quality Rea ney has obviously taken so much trouble to create.

s have many others, and all Canadians who have tried , Reaney has fai led to com­bine poetry and drama . However, it is perhaps t he most noble failure seen in t his country lo dale. As R eaney and R eeves are poets firs t , and dramatists second , it is to be expected that, in varying degrees, their p lays be heavily laden with poetic imagery. Of t he two, however, R eaney alones rises somewhat above his medium , and presents t he audience with some dramatic meat to chew on. This is evident particularly in the title p lay, The I< illdeer.

As for A Beach of Strangers, perhaps J ohn R eeves' long experience as a CBC radio producer has heen a stumbling-block in the ca e of th is p lay: he seems to ha ,·e perpetuated the tradition, begun perhaps in London in the heyday of tbe BBC drama series, that a radio p lay shouJd take ad van­tage of its handicap- its dependence on the one sense, hearing, by appealing to t he mind 's sense of sight and r hythm . D ylan Thomas a lone could do th is, and Under M ilk Wood had its faults; in America,

orman Corwin and Archibald MacLeish, both of whom wrote radio verse dramas, have moved on to more substantial literary fare. The CBC itself has a long and jus ti­fiably proud tradition in radio drama; the producers and writers have for the most part beeu conscientious about their part in

bridging tbe geographical and cttlttiral chasms iL1 our country. Consequently, Canadians who took the trouble to listen, could hear as adequate an expression in theatrical form s of OLLr heri tage and CLLl­tures as existed. That most of these plays were not verse dramas is not necessaril y relevant; but tbat R eeves has chosen this genre for his obv iously " highbrow" theme, man's loneliness, of irn1er and outer selves warring within human relationships, a nd has scotch-taped this idea on to one­dimensional , or even semi-dimensional characters, gilded with a fac;ade of con­torted images, is not , and should not be indicative of Ca11ada's threatre. R eaney is a lso poetic in his treatment ; hut his plays do stand as theat re.

AN ALL-FAITH BIBLE GAINS IN SUPPORT

(from The H erald Tribune)

After centuries of interfaith discord the day of the all-faith Bible may not be far off- an agreed Cath.olic-Protestant ver­sion of the New T estament and a joint Catholic-Protestant-Jewish t ext for the Old Test ament.

A couple of reasons a re behind the surprising progress being made toward a one-Bible text. One is the archeological discoveries made in the Middle East during the past decade, such as the Dead Sea scrolls. Another is the more cordial interfaith spirit produced by the late Pope John XXIII and by the Second Vatican (Ecumenical ) Council.

Catholic leaders, for example, are pre­pared to concede now that immense first­rate work went into such Protestant ver­sions of the Bible as the literary classic known as the King James edition of 1611 and the R evised Standard Version of 1952.

In addition, documents issued at the Vatican as far back as the reign of Pope Pius X II have paved the way for Cath­olics t o meet P rotes ta nt and Jewish scholars on new common grounds based on recent Biblical historical , linguistic and a rcheological discoveries.

Despite age-old conflict s, Catholics and Protestants have been converging on common t exts for large portions of the Bible in many languages and in many parts of the world- here, in E ngland and also in France, H olland , Poland a nd Cey­lon, among others.

In the United States, a t eam of more than 25 Biblical schola rs has brought in J ews as experts on the Old T estament. Their combined effort t o create an accept­able a ll-faii h text si pa rtly complete in galley form (Genesis and the epistles of Saint s Peter and Jude) but will not begin to be published until next September and will not be entirely completed befo re 1969.

The project , known as "The Anchor Bible, " is w1der the direction of two Protestant schola rs-David Noel Freed­man , a Presbyterian , of the Pi ttsburgh Theological Seminary, and William, F ox­well Albright, a M ethodist , professo r emerit us at J ohns Hopkins Uni~ersity . M r. Albright is the widely acknowledged dean of American Biblical archeologist s.

Seven Catholics and five J ews a re on the F reedman-Albright t eam, and others are Lutherans, Baptists, M ethodists, Pres­byterians and a member of the Unit ed Church of Christ . Doubleday is the Anchor publisher.

SUS GETS NEW STUDENT ADMINISTRATOR

The SUS has selected Mr. Charles F. Barrow as their choice fo r Student Ad­ministrator.

M r. Barrow obtained his education at the Marlborough H ouse and Uni versity of Liverpool, E ngland . His business career ranges from Ship 's P urser and assistant Accountant with the shipping company for t en years, t o the position of Director and Secret ary of the Canadian subsidiary of the Jamaica Banana Producers Asso­ciation Ltd. This last post he held until the end of las t year.

In the course of bis business career, M r. Barrow has tra velled extensively covering many parts of the U.S., Southwestern Europe, as well as Egypt, India, Persia , West Africa, and the West Indies.

The duties of Student Administration are essentially one of a liaison between the President and Treasurer of the S.U.S. and the University Administration. Mr. Bar­row wiU also oversee the account ing and finance operations of the S.U .S.

AL HIRSCH NEW PILOT OF SENIOR GEORGIAN CAGERS

The Sir George Williams University Georgians may have ended their relentless search fo r a successor t o Dean Magnus F lynn, ex-Georgia n Coacb.

Wit h the resigna tion of las t year's mentor, Bob Berkman, Atbletic Direct or A. Douglas lnsleay has turned to fo rmer J ay-vee coach, Al Hirsch.

Al , a native of Mont real who was brought up in the United States led t he baby Georgians from 1960 through 1962.

It may be too much to expect Coach Hirsch to duplicat e F lynn's fan tastic r ecord of 154, and 27 over a 13-yea r period with a tea m led by veteran R obby H abert and newcomer ·w arren Sutton, Al has a great chance to start with a winner.

FISHING AUGMENTS TEACHERS' INCOME

Albert H all and J ohn Boland , high school t eachers, were spare-time sealers in the spring and lobster fishermen during the early summer. Other teachers in the area have done cod fishing.

" P osTG.RAD" ! I regularly receive two other Alumnj publications and frequently manage to glance over a few others as well , however I do say with a ll sincerity that the " PosTGR AD" seems to best com­bine the current news, gossip column and more academic essays.

Since leaving Sir George in 1961 with my Commerce degree, l have been working in Sherbrooke with McDonald , Currie & Co. in hopes of obtaining my C.A. This past June I was wed to Charlotte Ann Cork, R.N. a graduate of the Sherbrooke H ospital School of N ursing. Future plans (although not definite) are to take my M.B.A. at Western .

Again may I say "keep up the good work and keep those issues of the "PosTGRAD" coming." It is only through this magazine tha t those of us in smaller centres can keep up with the news of the University.

DRAVO'S COUNU:RFLO Ii ... AT HOME ANYWHERE ~

An embracing but true statement for the versatile Dravo Counterflo Heater is literally at home wher­ever it goes .. . with the possible exception of an Aborigine tribesman's hut. However, this adver­tisement is not directed to Aborigines but to architects, contractors, construction and heating engineers, air conditioning experts, owners of large homes, manufacturers, farmers, garage owners, and purchasing agents for schools, plants, shopping centres, department stores, supermarkets, banks and exhibition buildings, to name just some of the people who can and should use Dravo Counterflo Heaters.

Automatically and thermostatically controlled
