Do rabbits really "Are you number 19?" Halloween caper in Paton College moves to the Parkway, where students held up traffic for about half an hour. Story on page 3. Our first application mode of living of which I intend to become accustomed. Doubtless you are acquainted with my outstanding career as a public malefactor. If not, a detailed curriculum vitae will be provided. I apologize most sincerely for being born a Canadian. I realize that, in spite of my personal fortune of more than a billion dollars, this is just not good enough. I have, for fear of the dire consequences that this would have to my application, asked some court friends in the Mother Country to expedite my request for nationalization as a British citizen. Duke Ellington and Count Basie will provide you with references. I look forward to a reply at your convenience. Yours respectfully, Earl John C. LoDey, Labrador City, Quebec. Director of Building and Grounds, Nerve Center, Memorial University of Newfoundland Dear Sir, How awfully pleased I was to read your recent advertisement in the 'Muse'. Since I was a little boy I have always wanted to be a University Chancellor and since last Monday I have had a longstanding interest in Memorial's fortunes. It gives me great pleasure, therefore, to apply for your vacancy. You will be concerned at what I can offer Memorial as its Chancellor. Of course, I would do my utmost to help in the process of foundering the new medcal school and I would take great delight in distributing honorary degrees at your monthly convocation. You can also depend on me to make 'substantial' contributions to the University cof fers. Needless to say, in view of my passionate interest in 'backyard farming', I would be particularly willing to provide funds for the establishment of a large faculty of agriculture at Memorial. I expect that you are already considering the idea. Let me say that I believe M.U.N, could become one of the world's leading agricultural research centers, given sufficient funds. In fact, I cannot think of a more suitable place than Newfoundland for such a development, in view of the acute shortage of agriculturalists in the province. If appointed, I would like three guarantees. First, the position of Chancellor should be above criticism by faculty and the like. Secondly, that I should receive an honorary degree in education for my work in the field of ignorance. Thirdly, the free house that goes with the eminent position must be altered at the natives' expense to fit the Memorial may experience its first teach-in if plans suggested at a joint faculty-student think session held last Saturday, come to fruition. The plan suggested by Dr. Tom Mongor of the Political Science Department would deal with the question of university government as it relates to education and would be intended to bring the ideas of students, faculty, and administration into the open. The success of the venture depends however on receiving the sanction of Academic Vice-President Moses Morgan and to cancel regular classes for a period of time extending anywhere from three days to a week. Dr. Mongor did not however see this as an im- impossibility. "What could be more academic than a teach-in on a topic such as this," he said. Although all those attending the CSU sponsored seminar supported the idea of a teach-in there was some opposition to the idea of bringing speakers in from outside the province. Mike Harrington, chairman of the ad-hoc committee to investigate the possibilities of the teach- in, expressed doubts as to the usefulness of the Newfoundland educational system. "I think that we have to get our own ideas straight in our minds first before we start bringing people to lay their ideas on us," he said. The main focus of the one day seminar revolved around a paper by Dr. Mongar which suggested a restructuring of the power relationship within the University. Dr. Mongar described the present student teacher relationship as authoritarian and called for a revised classroom structure which would make the professor more of a resource person than a teacher. "The professor would then become a participant in the learning process," he said, "but this would of course shift more of the burden of education to the students." David Alexander of the history department also gave a paper. He emphasized that the basic factor to remember that whatever the structure of the university, one must have some system to restrict access to limited resources. ..... ....... .,, Y"e:jr- :■ -:e :■■"■'"■ '\mmmmmwmmimmm. \ ■. e-e Although the MUSE came out on Tuesday this week I (the Remembrance Day weekend, plus confusion about | Friday classes which we couldn't get cleared up by press j time, plus a large number of ads necessitating sixteen ; pages, which our printer couldn't get printed in time I caused this dramatic change), we will be appearing in I future on Monday, instead of our usual Friday.
