The Week At the Seaforth Collegiate Institute
(By, Alastair Wlgg);
• • •
With the utmast sadness we inform
you that a familiar landmark around
the S. O. I. is .being torn down this
week. The old gymnasium is being
torn roughly from lie moorings and
will, soon be level with the ground.
Built in the late seventies, the old
red gym has been a familiar institu-
tion to the thousands of students who
have passed through the sohool in, the
intervening sixty years.
• • •
A alight explosion occurred at
school this week and was caused by
too much air being blown into a pa-
per bag. No one was injured, at least
not physically, and a general laugh
was the result.
* * •
When .a pupil is late for school he
is obliged to serve a half hour deter -
tion after four unless a very good ex-
cuse is presented. Needless to say,
many are the excuses smacking of
originality and cleverness of thought
One of the most original ever offer-
ed was that presented a week ago by
a boy who rides to school en a
bicycle, when he said: "I was late
because I forgot to allow for the
wind." Whether he was excused, or
not is left to your imagination.
• • •
During the course of the lessons
many amusing replies come to light
but are never 'heard of. . In Second
Form English class the students were
discussing a character who hung
around the courts of the nobles and
lived off them. The teacher asked a
boy what this person would be called
in modern language, the answer ex-
pected being a sponger or similar
term. The pupil, however, thought
that a man living off another should
be called a carnivore, so that was
the anewer given.
s * .•
Men are at work this week levelling
the dirt deposited on the •eampus from
the digging of t1he new basement last
fall. P. T.olass'es are still being held
in the gymna.sipm, but when the
weather is a little warmer they will
be conducted outside, Basketball,
football and rugby will replace the
indoor games of basketball and vol-
ley ball.,
* * *
The Clinton High School held their
annual dance on Friday night and sev-
eral car loads of. S. C. I. students- at-
tended. Music was furnished by Ken
Steele and bis Landon Hotel orches-
tra. Lunch was served and a num-
ber of novelty dances made the even-
ing a big success. This dance is the
last of the local school dances, as
exams will soon start and holidays
are not very far away.
= g- *
The agriculture class will start gar-
dening next week if the' weather is
suitable. The garden is •across from
the school and a small plot of land
is givetb every two pupils to look af-
ter. The 'students work in pairs and
break up the ground ready for plant-
ing. Common vegetables such as pot-
atoes, carrots, radiisihes and onions
are planted and the students look af-
ter these. There are •shovels, shoes
and rakes belonging to the school and
with these the pupils keep the weeds
down.
* • *.
The nutrition class of the Home
Economics department js now, work-
ing on luncheons. They are now
featuring milk desserts, so if you
doubt their ability to cook, come up
and have a luncheon. The girls have
progressed very rapidly in this class•
and can now prepare excellent break-
fasts and luncheons that would win
any man's •heart. The sewing group
is making underwear. -
* * *
In the drop department the boys'
thoughts are also turning to their
stomach for a number of boys are
making rolling pins for their mothers.
These rolling pins are taken home in
the hope that mother will make a
batch of cookies for her industrious
son. Not content with rolling pins,
some of the boys 'have already made
cookie cutters to ensure a supply of
those splendid cookies.
• * *
Students are already studying for
the May exams and there is no great
deal of activity around the sohool. Af-
ter these exam's there is only a very
short time until the final examiina,ions
and holidays came.
* * *
On• Thursday the girls of Seaforth
Collegiate 'held three volley ball
games.

The Editor, The Huron Expositor:
Dear Sir: Since Mr. Hepburn has
refused to reconsider the cut; in the.
provincial grant to the Universities, it
may seem futile to continue talking.
about it. I should like, however, to
comment on a question which has aris-
en in the course of the discussion,
that is, the advieebility of government
-grants to Universities.
Some contend that, since Universi-
ties are attended primarily by chil-
dren of the well-to-do who can afford
to make generous financial contribu-
tions, government grant, are unneces-
sary and should be considerably re-
duced. The premise of this argument
is uneound; the idea that most of the
college students come from rich or
moderately wealthy homes is an ut-
terly mistaken one. Per the last nine
years I have been associated with
Universities, as undergraduate and: as
staff member, and I speak with defin-
ite knowledge when I say that the
great majority of students today are
from humble homes to whom the ex-
penses of a college education mean a
very real .sacrifice. The percentage
of sons and daughters of bhe rich at
the University of Western Ontario is,
amazingly small. There are some stu-
dents who receive no financial assist-
ance froin tlheir parents; many are
partially working their way through.
Should not these eager young men
and women, who are of limited means
but who have shown that they are of
the type to benefit by advanced edu-
cation, be given all the encourage-
ment possible, instead of .having their
difficulties increased? The people
who are now working towards some
national system of scholarships for
poor and talented students have re-
oognized this needs.
Another reason advanced -to support
a decrease in government grants to
Universities is, that only a small por-
tion of our population at the present
time attend and so t'h'ese institutions
are undemocratic. It is admitted as
a fact to be regretted that many
young people who have the ability
and the desire for a higher education
are not able to attain it because of
their lack of financial means. The re-
cent demonstrations of the student
body in London were prompted by
their recognition of this situation and
their fear teat it would become even
more serious, for a step such as.'the
one taken by the Ontario government
can only result in the fees being in-
creased and in more, boys and. girls
being deprived of the opportunity for
a University education, Surely it is
not an improvement of this so-called

wealthy (Who have no mtottvapoly 'of
intellectual etaletbilitles and many of
whom, indeed, when they go to Col-
lege, have Isla diesite to take s/he more
difficult cot trees) tlhwea result will be a
deplorable class distinction in the ac-
cess to education.
It has 'been suggested thhat, because
a relatively II Part of our Young
people a Universities, it would be
advisable to give less governanent as-
sitetanice to them and more to secon-
dary schools, so that the masses
might 'benefit in place of the few.
Superficially this May seem a soused
principle. The secondary schools
could, no doubt, be greatly expanded
and improved. First, however, I
should like to be very certain that
the irony substraoted from Univers-
ity grants was being used for extend-
ing elemen.taey education among our
mentally fit and net, perhaps, for helps
ing to build eleven million dollar
structures for our meaytally unfit. Sec-
oY, I should like to ask, if ele-
mentary educational facilities were in-
creased at the expense of the Uni-
versities, how the elementary instruc-
tors would receive their training.
High edbool teachers now are Uni-
versity graduates; ` primary school
teachers also are required to comr.
,plete one year of University work.
Thirdly, I consider that this sugges-
tion minimizes .taus value of the work
which the Universiitiest are doing to-
day. Their function is much more
than to- "clutter up the professions."
Fundamentally they train nmen and
women how to think, not what to
think; and perhaps at no time (las
this ability been as much needed as
in the perplexities and conflicting
ideologies of this modern world. Al-
so, to suggest that the activities of
Universities should be curtailed and
that feweeshouldi attend is to ignore
the fact of a constantly increasing de-
mand for university graduates in many
fields, of which business is ane strik-
ing example. Furthermore, there is
research carried on, often with great
hardship, by students in Universities
which is of such infinite importance
to humanity that it cannot be measur-
ed in teams of diallers and cents.
I am brought to the conclusrion,
then, tlhat Governments and peoples,
instead of taking measures to strangle
,higher education, ought to be proud
to aid*in every possible way young
people who show promise of justify-
ing this type of education.
Yours sincerely,
'A.

Dear Sir: Will you be kind enough`
to allow the students of illy, University
of Western Ontario space in your edi-
torial columns in order to clear up an
unfortunate misuandelretanding in the
minds of the people ip. this Proivimce.
The Premier, the!: Hon. Mitfhell
Hepburn, speaking 4n: the provincial
legislature Wedneeda°y`; April . 26th.
warned bhe provin sal un versitieee
that unless tuition fees were raised
for non -Ontario students, he would
cut the provincial grants to the uni-
versities even more drastically next
year. "Only four of the students at
Western) from United States are
charged double fees,'and figures sup-
plied tn•e show there are 265 at the
institution from beyond the borders of

The figures used regarding Amen.

them are wrong, and, halve been re-

has been supplied *frith :the correct
figurers and it is nnfdrtnnale that be
does not see fit to neer them. Official
statements obtained' from the Regis-
trar's office at the University of West-
ern Ontario show that there are only
65 students at "Western" from out-
side Ontario. Of these, 31 AICs and
Medical, are from the United States.
The four Arts students' pay double
tuition fees --$250.00. instead of the
$125 paid by regular students. The
tuition fee at the Medical School is
$175 for the first year and $225 for
silbs'equent years. The students from
the United States pay $350 first year,
$450 for each of the next five. Every
foreign student (including Baroness
Hello Rose nkrant z from Denmark) at
the University of Western Ontario,
pays double, tu•ltion.
The students, from other provinces
include seven graduates; three, regis-

of $200, and four ;fting as demonstra-

Premier Hepburn's allegation that
the student movement protesting
against the $25,000 cut in "Western's -
grant was inspired by political mo-
tives is without the slightest founda-
tion in fact. Dr. A. S. Duncan, our

action was backed by the All -Cana-
dian Congress of Labour, which has
no political tie. Outstanding Mnem-

Throughout the brief campaign,
rare was taken that. rio embarrass-
ment. should be calmed the Premier's
family, and at n.o time were any let-
ters or 'phone calls which "harraes-

way, and during the weeks of the lit-
tle ,campaign, over 20,004) signatures
of voters from all parts of Ontario
were obtained on a petition object-
ing to the cut in the grant..
