PURDUE PROFESSOR ON CAMPUS TO ADDRESS O.A.C, LECTURE SERIES
Dr. John Hicks, Purdue University, left, chats with Dr. G.H. Bowman, chairman of the Lecture Series,and Mr. John Babcock, Director of Alumni Affairs. Their lecture of the series was sponsored by the O.A.C.Alumni .
"The actions of activist students on American campuses are causing the loss of moral and financial support to universities." Dr. John Hicks of Purdue University, Lafayette, Indiana, told this to faculty and students of the University of Guelph. He was on campus to give the second address in the 1967-68 O.A.C. Lecture Series.
Dr. Hicks, executive assistant to the president of Purdue and also Professor of Agricultural Economics, pointed out that student unrest started in the 1 960's. Prior to that, the students, many of them still on G.I. loans, were called the silent generation.
Some 50 percent of the students on campus today are what Dr. Hicks called, the Concerned Group. They are concerned about the world in general and their university in particular. They want: better teachers, better libraries, significant courses, a larger voice in student affairs and to be

treated as adults.
A second group of students - probably less than one percent - are Activists. Their activities are destructive; they seem to want to destroy the University and society as we have it today.
"Activists may be necessary to bring some changes", Dr. Hicks admitted, "but most of their actions lead to chaos and they have no regard for the rights of others."
Returning to the Concerned Group, Dr. Hicks said their actions should develop a stronger student government, that is really the voice of the students. Through their actions they can promote better faculty-student relations, they can rate instructors to keep and advance good professors, and they can earn more mature treatment.
The effect on the faculty of the activities of the Concerned Group is to make them question their traditional way of getting things done, to question their courses, and to get closer to the students.
The one minus factor in the campus unrest, Dr. Hicks said, is the result of actions by the Activists. The conservative population of the United States see the actions of the few (less than one percent) typifying all students. The supporters of higher education are concerned and there is a lessening of financial and moral support to universities. The masses would tend to stifle freedom at the universities, he warned his audience."I would have to be offered vast amounts of money to lose one small particle of freedom", he concluded.
PROFESSOR AND MRS, F,H, MONTGOMERY HONORED AT DINNER
Professor and Mrs. F.H. Montgomery were honored at a Smorgasbord at the Country Club where the Faculty of the Department of Botany presented Mrs. Montgomery with a bouquet of carnations and Professor Montgomery with a slide projector. Professor Riddell acted as Master of Ceremonies and President Winegard and Dean Richards thanked Professor Montgomery for his years of service to the Department and the University and offered best wishes for the future.

SEMINAR ON CRITICAL PROBLEMS OF EMERGING NATIONS PLANNED
On December 4, 1967, a one-day seminar at the University of Waterloo will deal with
Regional Planning and Development Problems in emerging nations. This will be the second in a series of inter-university seminars on Critical Problems of Emerging Nations in Rural Development. Members of the faculty of the University of Guelph played a key role in originating this study series, and
the first seminar was held on this campus last May. Jointly sponsored by the nine universities in Southern Ontario, each of the seminars in the series will deal in detail with a separate aspect of the rural development problems of emerging nations. The theme of the first seminar
was Full Heads and Empty Stomachs. The purpose of the seminars is to find what universities can do to help solve the pressing rural development problems of emerging nations,and to initiate
co-operative action. The program on December 4th at Waterloo will begin at 9:00 a.m. and conclude at 5:00 p.m. It is hoped that a large number of members of this University will attend. Attendance at the seminar held here in May was about one hundred.

UNIVERSITY CO-OPERATION OUTLINED
Communication and co-operation between Ontario universities improved last year, according to a publication released by the Committee of Presidents of Universities of Ontario.
The 59-page booklet, reviewing the 1966-67 education year, is titled System Emerging and outlines progress made through the voluntary co-operation of the province's universities.
The publication says progress resulting from co-operation includes an appraisals procedure for graduate programs, creation of a library system, province-wide reader services, the inter-university library system, provincewide reader services, the inter-university library transit system and the common admissions procedures adopted for 1968-69.
The committee suggests, however, additional co-operation is required in deciding whether a new faculty or school is needed and, if so, where it should be located.
The report suggests that universities across Canada improve national communications through the Association of Universities and Colleges of Canada.
