Two motions at two meetings, and now we are two. The En- gineers have decided, after much thought, to withdraw from the S.L.E., and concentrate on getting a constitution for then own Engineering Society.

The first motion was made at the S.L.E. meeting last Thursday evening, when president Ian Fra- ser vacated his chair to Mortimer Bistrisky, national NFCUS presi- dent. “The position of student government here is now intoler- able,” said Mr. Fraser. He called for a motion that the S.L.E. accept the precepts set down in the re- vised constitution, at least until a constitution for a university stu- dents’ council can be made.

The four Engineering represen- tatives present requested time to think this matter over, and to dis- cuss it with the rest of the En- gineering Society. Backing their

T our students and university life, prim- ary and secondary education, liv- ing standards and social welfare, religion and the “morale” of so- ciety, social and economic groups with potentially conflicting in- terests (e.g. the managerial class) the communist parties, govern- ment structure and’ constitutions, industry and agriculture and the influence of science and techno- logy on these countries will form

request, they pointed out that this item had not appeared on the agenda, or they would have had more representatives there. In the opinion of the S.L.E., enough time had been given to this topic, and it was necessary to get some- thing concrete established, there and now. Let it be said once and for all, that this was not “a plot” on the part of the Artsmen to-put something over on the Engineers -the Artsmen had no more time to think it over than did the E’n- gineers.

The vote, of course, ended with a “pro” majority.

What do the Engineers want? A completely autonomous Engin- eering Society, that can decide on Engineering, matters of the En- gineers, for the Ehgineers, and by the Engineers. They do not want to present a budget to the S.L.E.; they want direct and complete control of their finances. They do not feel it possible for the En- gineering Society to function capably under the jurisdiction of I the SL.E.

The sedond motion, presented at a meeting of the Engineering Society Monday afternoon, sum- med up their desires. They voted not to accept the S.L.E. constitu- tion, and to work on setting up their own constitution. A com- mittee consisting of Jack Kruuv, Al Strong, Joe Eskr$t, Bill Mc- Gratton and Bob Kuhi was se- lected to present this constitution to their Board of Governors.

There were twenty Engineering representatives present, with a guest speaker. The latter was Mr. A. A. Bruneau, B.Ss., a lecturer of mathematics at the .Associate Faculties. He is the past president of the E’ngineering Society of the ’ University of Toronto, and he outlined the set-up’of that body. In his opinion, Waterloo Engineers are ready for such a society, and should draw up a constitution immediately - “YQU are nothing until you have a constitution.” He said that when more faculties are set up here, then a co-ordinating body will be necessary; now, it is not. He told the Engineers to “strive for complete freedom, subject ONLY to your deans and faculty members.”

“A society for Engineers needs a free hand”, “don’t wait for the go-ahead from Artsmen”, “as long as you must work within the structure of another student or- ganization, you are not going to have a very effective Engineering Society”. These were some of the

Last week when we were in Ottawa we had the good fortune to visit the new campus of Carleton. Although it is not yet finished, it does give promise of being the MOST beautiful campus in Canada when it is completed. We saw a site well chosen for its beauty and proximity to the city. The actual location has two buildings finished and one more will be ready by the summer of 1959. Like our campus, Carleton is in the throes of construction. There, unfortunately, all similarity ends.

The Science building at Carleton is a five story, ultra- modern aluminum, steel and glass structure. It is complete with panel lighting in the ceilings of all the laboratories in spite of the fact that they have immense areas of glass win- dows. There is more space than is really necessary for the stairs but this gives the whole place an aura of spaciousness that is truly inspiring. The effect is enhanced by the main lobby which runs right through the building. On one side it is at ground level but, because of the topographical features of that campus, the other side is fully two stories above the ground and the view is unparalleled.

The Library is opposite the Science building and is equal to it in design though not in size. There are hundreds of feet of bookshelves and a score of small reading and studying rooms for private use. There are even plans for small research rooms in which all the books which pertain to a particular course will be found.

On the third side of this square is found the Arts building which is still under construction. Connecting all these is a tunnel which will eventually run completely around the square when the fourth building is built.

We hope for all these conveniences in our own campus. It is with the outward appearance of the buildings that we wish to take issue. If we are to judge the face of our future campus by the looks of the Engineering building it should be a delightfully archaic nightmare. We must admit that it is conservative and demonstrates the best in modern conformity. To put it in the local vernacular SUCH A CHEESE-BOX BEFORE I’VE NEVER SEEN.

The Kingston Trio of “Tom Dooly” fame is well known and their new LF’s are becoming popular too but in my rambles through a local record bar, I came across an Extended Flay 45 which I think is of interest to those who admire the Kingston Trio.

As you all know, Extended Plays, or EP’s (as they are affec- tionately known in the trade), give you more for your dollar, in this case more being four songs. Unfortunately one of them is Tom Dooly but I feel that this song has enough merit to stand re- peated listening although not as

three are traditional airs and they offer a variety of rhythm and melodic structure, from Banua, a Jamaican love song in the usual calypso style, to Santy Anne which is a sailing song about the rush to California in ‘49 around Cape Horn. The striking thing about Santy Anno is the haunting yet vigorous melody and if you think that these two adjectives are at odds, you only need tc listen to the record to be con- vinced that they are not.

The last song is Coplas, a Span* ish air with very untraditional words intersperesed among the Spanish and the overall effect is one of sophistication with a slight leer.

The only criticism which I could offer would be the fact the songs while different in texture and form, nevertheless conform tc some secret “Kingston, Trio Code” which makes them all somewhat alike. But this is more than made up for by their polish and sheer enjoyment in singing which comes through in every song.

By Dale Perrin Talent is something not all of us possess. It is usually considered

as a rare gift; exercised by those to whom it has been given and appreciated by those to whom it has not been given.

This writer has “talent”. Just what it is, and how he expresses it will be seen in the analysis of his writing.

The most outstanding feature about this person is his artistic ability and his temperament. This ability need not necessarily be re- stricted to creative drawing or painting but may be expressed in many ways. He experiences a love of beauty towards everything in life: he appreciates vivid and deep colour tones; he likes rich and spicy foods. I

Music is another phase of his artistic talent. This person has

Every Friday at 12.00 o’clock noon, the Philharmonic Society plays records of “good” music for the enjoyment of those who wish to hear it. Their primary purpose is to promote a greater interest in music among the student body. They have been the sponsors of some concerts and do some of their work in connection with the Royal Conservatory of Music in Toronto. They were responsible for the showing of the ballet “Romeo and Juliet” and in March are sponsoring a concert which will feature the Schneider Choir.

To attempt to evaluate a group such as this or for that matter any organization on campus presents the prospective evaluator with a real task. The amount of work done depends much upon the sup- port received. Although the or- ganization is new, it has done some healthy work to promote its aims. In the fall it brought to Waterloo a piano and soprano re- cital and before Christmas backed a concert of Christmas music which featured selections by the Waterloo College Glee Club.

A society of this kind can do much for a college. It can bring in outside talent in the form of films and records on the subjects of ballet or opera. In addition to presenting live artists, it can seek to promote the talent for there is always a good deal of student talent in the musical field at col- lege.

rhythm, but more important, a sixth sense so to speak, inter- pretiveness, which enables him tc feel and interpret emotion in music, or in situations. If this in- dividual was a pianist or singer he could hold his audience spell- bound by expressing emotion through music.

These are the only talents which I will mention, for talents as such, depend upon other phases of per- sonality for their expression Ability alone, is not enough.

Mental alertness, analytical ability, and a desire for knowl- edge are also necessary character- istics for talented people. (Any- one for that matter). This person rates high in this field.

Most people think of talented I people as sensitive, moody indi- viduals. This may or may not be true, but nevertheless, these traits : are present in this writing.

Perhaps, the greatest single characteristic of this person is his deep, enduring emotional depth for how this person feels, and what he feels will determine how and what he will do.

In conclusion, this individual 1 is an extremely talented indivi- dual with all the potentials and most of the necessities needed tc become accomplished in whatever field he chooses, artistic or other- wise.

It is a delight to go into the gymnasium on a Wednesda: night and see all four badminton courts being used. It i equally delightful to wander into the same gym on a Tuesda: evening and notice that a large number of the staff are taking advantage of their allotted night. It is gratifying in general to see that more use is being made of the recreational facilitie we have.

There are several good reasons for this rejuvenatior First and foremost, as you have probably noticed, by the in creasing number of signs on the bulletin board, the athletil activities are getting a greater amount of publicity. This i due to the fact that Athletic Director Carl Totzke has marl time to do so. With the addition of Bob Celeri and Bol Rafferty to the coaching staff, and the possibility in the nea future that Carl will be working in a full-time capacity, i makes it possible for him to do many of the odds and end that haven’t been taken care of.

I can assure you that lack of organization has not bee] caused by the Athletic Director. Carl would be the first tc admit that intra-mural sport has not functioned properly. A the same time he says that he hasn’t had the time to organizl as well as he wanted. I agree.

When we realize that McMaster has nine full time work ers on their sports staff, we can see the picture. At, thl present we have three part-time employees and an athletil directorate. Granted that McMaster is bigger, but when WI look at the ratio, we will see once again that we are awa: behind.

Rejuvenation also comes from the fact that some of thl students suddenly realized that they needed some physica education credits. To some people this is a necessary evil, tc some a troublesome duty, and to others a form of relaxatior

For the staff, they are probably finding out that they cal have an enjoyable evening playing volleyball or badminton It’s as simple as that. Or perhaps some of them are tryin] to combat middle age and the accompanying “spare-tire’ More credit to them.

But at any rate it is enjoyable to see this new interesi I’m sure that the sky is the limit. The gym is there and it i essential to all students that they have at least some sort o physical exercise. If you are not participating in any sport at all, you had better grab a badminton racquet or a basket ball and get out on the gym floor. The Athletic Director an Directorate will be only too happy to help you in any wa: they can.

A precedent in Curling at Wa- erloo College was set on Tues- lay, Jan. 27th. The event was the Tirst Annual College Bonspiel vhich was initiated with great 8uccess. All participants had a Tery active and enjoyable time. Che winning teams showed ex- tellent ability and firmly estab- ished the high calibre of players vho play in the regular league.

Gary Hancock skipped his well valanced and powerful team to Tictory and first place honours in he Bonspiel. Doug Murphy, vice, Tred Martin, 2nd and Bill Foll- Yell, lead, were the other curlers if this championship entry. A late of interest is that Gary’s earn was the favorite among the Spiel entries.

Second place honours went to 3ob Wilson’s well skipped team tnd was only decided after a spe- :ial play-off between the team skipped by Bill Simmons who had given Gary Hancock a very stiff jattle in his third game. Both Simmons and Wilson had won two ;ames and were tied in points. 3ob Wyckham, Gord Edgar and ;Tern Allemang curled for Wilson n his entry.

Third honours went to Dick ?rise’s rink made up of Paul Mc- Zinnis, Bud Christensen and Don farmey. This rink finished high vinner for one game in the Bon- spiel.

The Bonspiel was a terrific SUC-

:ess and the participation was a rue tribute to the interest in :urling and specially to Dick Frise 3onspiel Chairman and the Curl- ng Committee who worked hard n the organization and admini- ;tration of the Bonspiel. Sincere ,hanks go to all those who en- ,ered and who helped make the 3onspiel a highlight of the Curl- ng season.

In the second period, Jack Tay- lor scored, and immediately after, defenceman Bill Weiler tied it up for Waterloo. Yakimoff put Mat into the lead with his second goal of the night, but the ever dependable combination of Knox and Taylor came through, with Knox getting the tying goal. The score remained this way at the end of the period.

In the third period, Taylor drove in beautifully and scored his second goal of the night. Vic Durish, on a long rush from his own end put Waterloo two ahead. But Ferguson brought Mat with- in one goal again. Then Ted Witty scored the insurance tally for Waterloo, and the game end- ed with the score 7-5.

The Mules had to turn on a ;izzling drive and score six points in the last minute of play to force the overtime session. They were down 62-‘56 with a minute to go, when Dan Yarmey sank two bas- kets and Terry Stewart added two points on foul shots with only twenty seconds to play. The homesters had a chance to win on a foul shot in the, last eighi seconds, but they missed, and the game went into overtime. Water- loo led all the way in the over- time play for a 14-7 margin.
