He proposed Sarnia, Barrie, Kitchener and North Bay as a few probable sites for the initiation of the program. Mr. Gaunt, speaking in the Throne speech debate, said our high schools have become screening devices for university, applying pressures on students at a time when many are not matured or motivated to seek university education. "At the same time," he said, " technical trade courses are not integrated with higher edu- cation and end up as a dumping ground for second class students unable to meet university re- quirements. " The Liberal member said, "The only reasonable alterna- tive is a plan of community colleges with the entrance re- quirements a Grade 12 certifi- cate." He cited the example of a student who was brilliant in the sciences and mathematics but failed French Authors. "Unable to gain admittance to univer- sity here, this young man left for the United States where he entered a community college for completion of his education. Today, he is the head aero- nautical engineer for Boeing Aircraft. " Mr. Gaunt stressed the need for secondary students to be educated socially and cultural- ly so that they may develop administrative and leadership qualities so necessary in the growing age of automation.

Canada's Co-op College By Emilie Tavel Livezey In Christian Science Monitor The story of Allan Strong is the story of Waterloo Univer- sity, Canada's first cooperative college. Five years ago he was a young Canadian with no finan- cial means of going to college. He compromised by starting a four-year training course to be- come an electrician with the Ford Motor Company in Windsor Ontario. Then he heard about Water- loo University, a new school with a cooperative system of work alternated with study. He enrolled in electrical engineering. Half way through he became a scholarship stu- dent. Because of his co-oping experience at Atomic Energy • of Canada, a government firm, his interest shifted to nuclear physics. When he graduated last year he won an Athlone Fellowship, the engineering equivalent of a Rhodes scholarship which open- ed the way to graduate study in England. He started out to become an electrician. But he will be coming home to Canada as a nuclear physicist. THE POINT "Here is the point," said John DAdams director of in- formation at Waterloo, as we talked over lunch in the cam- pus cafeteria. "Because of our co-op program Allan was able to come to Waterloo. Because of the work experience he got, he is now being trained in an exciting new field which he, of course, would never have even thought about if he had re- mained in the electrical train- ing program." The story of Waterloo itself is equally exhilarating. In 1957 Dr. J. G. Hagey, who is now Waterloo's president and vice-chancellor, and some others, resolved to expandhigh er educational opportunities in the Waterloo -Kitchener area of Western Ontario. But they soon discovered how expensive it would be to provide engineer- ing and science courses, cou- pled with the fact that enroll- ment growth could be expected to be slow. Co-oping seemed the an- swer. By operating three four- month sessions around the cal- endar clock, the college could accommodate twice the students in the same amount of space. So Waterloo pioneered in Canada the system already found in 70 American colleges. Enrollment boomed. Results have outstripped rosiest expec- tations. In 1957 enrollment was only 75 engineering students. "In 1959 we added a science faculty; in 1960 an arts faculty and graduate studies," Mr. Adams said. "By this fall en- rollment had climbed to 3100." ARTS AND SCIENCE The arts and science students at Waterloo are on the classic Canadian two -semester, Sept- ember -to -April system. But all engineering students "co-op." Finishing our lunch we stroll- ed out into the brilliant sun- shine of a fine fall afternoon. Across the sloping fields was a freshly cleared hillside. Here the University of Waterloo is breaking another kind of new ground. It is building a rather unique $9 million self-govern- ing student village. The plan is to group four residence units around a village square. Each unit is to be com- prised of six houses --four for men and two for women. Most Camera Club By Club Members With much help from the Students' Council a new ven- ture has been undertaken at W.D.H.S, ,A camera club has been formed and a number of fine pieces of equipment have been purchased. This equip- ment includes a film develop- ing tank, a Durst 606 enlarger, electronic timer, and many smaller accessories such as print trays, tongs, film clips, etc. Club members can now develop their own black and white films and make enlarged prints. A new school camera was purchased along with the club's equipment. This camera, in conjunction with the club equip.' ment, will help to economize in the production of the Vox Studentium, the school year- book. Although the membership is small, interest is growing and it is hoped the new equipment will encourage more new mem- bers to join. New members learn the basics about cameras and techniques in photograph- ing different subjects. After the basics they learn how to use the darkroom facilities and then may produce their own work. The better pictures are posted on the club's bulletin board to the pleasure,or dismay of the students. The camera club starts stu- dents into an interesting and profitable hobby. student rooms will be single. A tutor will live in a separate dwelling within each residence unit. In addition to four residence units and dining halls, the vil- lage square will include a non- denominational chapel, recre- ation hall, barber shop, drug- store, post office, newsstand, etc. "It's sort of fun being here and watching it grow," Mr. Adams said, as we completed our tour. "Come back in 10 years and it will be quite a development." Actually, I hadn't planned to wait that long. Wrestling The Beal invitational wrest- ling tournament was held in London on Saturday whenwrest- lers from eight schools compet- ed.
