Yes! There will be
a Winter Carnival
Contrary to rumour, there will be a Memorial University Winter Carnival this year in either the
first or second week in February.
Eleanor Dawe, chairman of the Carnival Committee, met with her committee late last week for
a preliminary discussion before she left for a two-day meeting with carnival representatives from
all Atlantic Provinces universities.

Students will receive copies of

Cap and Gown Editor Joan
MacEachern told a MUSE reporter that the last of the copy for
the long-awaited edition was
sent to the printers October 20.
Before final printing can take
place, however, the proofs of
each page must be sent here for
correction. Miss MacEachern estimated that the book would be
ready approximately 12 weeks
after the return of the proofs—in
other words, sometime early in
1965.
after the completion of the second
Clinic, will be presented with the
Corpuscle Cup, an honour for
which every group should strive.
Some lucky jdonor will win
$50.00 which has been donated
by Omegi Phi Society.
Remember
So precious to save . . .
So little to give.
Miss Dawe attended the meeting in Halifax over the past weekend and a report of this meeting
will be published in later editions of the MUSE.
In a recent MUSE front page
story, the fact that a carnival
chairman was approved by the
C.S.U. was said to be one of the
'tsteps in the right direction".
And the meeting held on campus
took strides in the right direction
when she completed and made
public the various members of
the executive of this year's carnival committee.
This year the members of the
committee include representatives of all faculty societies and
other student organizations- This
means that any society on campus
can, through its own representatives, get any particulars concern
ing the carnival week without
chasing committee members all
over the campus. It is hoped that
students will receive a clearer
idea of what carnival will entail
as well as having a smoother
running committee through this
organization committee representative plan.
The committee has not decided
on a definite date for carnival
as yet because this must be worked
out amongst the other universities concerned in the use of big-
name entertainers. However,
final arrangements will soon be
made and reported to the student
body.
Students will be asked to make
an all-out effort this year to make
the 1964-65 Winter Carnival the
best ever andi something that
will make  other  Maritime  Uni
versities envious of Memorial's
fling.
The following is a list of executive members of the 1965 Winter
Carnival Committee:
Chairman, Eleanor Dawe; Co-
Chairman, Gerry Anthony; Faculty Advisor, Mr. Brian P. Macpherson; Assistant to the Faculty
Advisor, Rollie Martin; Social
Chairman, Sue Campbell; Athletics, Carl Best, Marguerite
Beehan; Float Parade, Harry
Locke, Bengt Frey; Snow Sculptures, Peter Poder, Kel Marshall;
Torch Light Parade, Ken Snow,
Dave Sharpe; Talent Show, Patti
Andrews, Allison Moore; Transportation, Tom Collingwood; Publicity, Paul Vavasour, Jerry
Smith; Sound Systems, John
Green; Tickets and Sales, Shane
O'Dea; Bookings, Dennis Knight;
Secretary, Gail Hogan.
The Marine training ground otherwise known as a parking lot
at the back of MUN will be paved within the next month or so . . .
according to university authorities. Meanwhile, however, the mud
gets muddier. Irate residents of our three residences chose this week
to deluge the MUSE with letters, all protesting that at least during
this muddy seige, the tunnel connecting residences with the rest
of the campus should remain open until 11 p.m. If you're curious
or sympathetic, see pages four and five.

"Monkey War"
flares  in  Texas
AUSTIN, Texas (CUPICPS)-A "monkey war" reminiscent of
the 1926 Scopes Trial flared in Texas last week (October 26), with
apparent victory going to the evolutionists.
At issue was the presentation of the
theory of evolution in three textbooks
tentatively recommended for use in the
Texas public school system.
Anti-evolutionists complained that
the books presented the concept of
evolution as a proven fact rather than
as a theory, and filed a formal protest
with the state textbook committee
which annually rules on what books
will be used in the state's school system.
After hearing testimony from both
sides, the committee rejected the objection, but not before the books were
denounced for advocating "atheism."
R. G. Lemmons, editor of The Firm
Foundation, a Church of Christ publication, said he did not object "to the
presentation of evolution as one of the
theories of the origin of man."
"If a teacher puts up evolution as
one possible theory, then presents other
theories—such as the creation—this is
fine," he said. "But evolution is presented as tb^e only plausible theory and
taught as fact in these books, and this
I object to."
During the hearings, Jack Wood
Sears, a University of Texas Graduate,
challenged anyone "to harmonize religion as presented in this textbook with
evolution."
Another man charged "evolution is
intrinsically   anti-religious   and   atheis
tic. Those who can embrace a Christian belief and evolution do so through
a  fortunate  inconsistency,"  he  said.
Another evolutionist, Gordon Howe,
objected to "the tacit assumption that
evolution is taught as a fact. It is not
taught as a fact," he said, "but to
develop an attitude and outlook that
will be the basis of inquiry in other
areas."
The disputed texts were prepared
by committees of teachers and scientists, and were tested, reviewed, and revised over a five year period. They are
entitled: "High School Biology,"
'Biological Science: Molecules to Man,"
and "Biological Sciences—An Inquiry
into Life."
More than a million dollars was
granted by foundations for the development of the books, which have been
acclaimed by science educators in several countries.
