G.P.A. requirement
Approval for new rule soughtMaintaining its reputation
as an innovator in the field of higher education, Sir George Williams University is expected to introduce a condition which will require a minimum Grade Point Average of 3.0 (a ‘B’ average) for graduation.
Principal John O’Brien is expected to introduce a motion calling for the introduction of the condition at this Friday’s meeting of University Council.
O’Brien has intimated that the new G.P.A. requirement will be made retroactive, that is, it will apply to all undergraduates currently registered.
“ A lot of people have complained that Sir George is an easy place to get into,” O’Brien signed, “ well, that may be true. What will also be true for the future is that Sir George will not be an easy place from which to graduate.”
One of the most frequently mentioned reasons for the mediocre quality of Sir George’s graduates is the lack of a clearly defined admissions policy. Almost anyone can register for undergraduate courses at Sir George - witness the large number of evening students without high school educations.
O’Brien hopes that the new requirement will discourage unqualified students from applying.
“ I hope this new requirement will discourage unqualified students- from applying,” Dr. O ’Brien said.
Bordan Agrees
Acting Vice-Principal (A- cademic) Jack Bordan thought that the new requirement would enhance the status of Sir George among other universities in Canada.
“ /t ’ s an innovation all right,” Bordan laughed, “ because it will take one hell of a lot of work to get out of here. You know, many universities felt that our standards were generally poor. For instance, Sir George is the only university in Canada that accepts credits from Mount Royal Junior College. Ha! But I do feel that this new proposal augers well for the days ahead.”
Bordan also saw some ray of hope in the area of an admissions policy.
“ I see some ray of hope in the area of an admissions policy,” Bordan said. “ What we must immediately do is stop admitting people who have less than 500 in the matriculation exams. That’s a start. After that, we should be more careful about people who fail more than four subjects in the matrics.”
Other items expected to appear on the Agenda of Friday’s University Council meeting are: 1) the report of the Cross College Committee to Study University Infrastructures; 2) the report of the Ad Hoc Committee to Lighten Dean Despland’s Committee Responsibilities (the CLDDCR); 3) the formation of a representative committee to investigate the use of the mezzanine by day students after 5:00 p.m.; and finally, the formation a committee to study means to lessen the number of committees within the University.

Armstrong, Aldrin, Collins to appear for Blood Drive
Apollo 11 astronauts Neil Armstrong, Mike Collins and Buzz Aldrin will make a surprise visit to Sir George next week during the annual Blood Drive festivities.
The astronauts, who will be in Montreal as part of a world wide tour on December 3, insisted on visiting Sir George once it became known that an invitation had been extended.
Blood Drive luminary Eliot Shatsbaum was the driving force behind the move to obtain the astronauts for a brief appearance.
Shatsbaum pestered the National Research Council in Ottawa to such an extent that the Director of the NRC sponsored tour, Dr. Sir Gyl- liam Chauncey, almost decided not to accept the charges for Shatsbaum’s frequent long distance calls.
Shatsbaum came up with his most convincing argument when he told Dr. Chauncey about Sir George’s recently acquired reputation for student involvement.
“ That closed it as far as I was concerned” , Chauncey told the georgian. “ From what your man Shatsbaum tells me, this St. Georges William place will be an ideal stop, especially for a nice, clean, unfestered event like a Blood Drive.”
Dr. Chauncey also expressed an interest in having the astronauts visit some of the nationally renown scientific laboratories at Sir George. He placed a special emphasis on the astronomy lab, which is curiously located in the sub-basement of the Hall Building.
Details of the visit to Sir George will be released as near as possible to the date of arrival, but from what Shatsbaum was able to tell the georgian, he had worked out a preliminary itinerary that would, of course, be subject to the approval of the astronauts and. the National Research Council.
According to Shatsbaum’s plans, Armstrong, Collins, and Aldrin will arrive in the Garage of the Hall Building. A quick tour of the University’s new Intercorrespondence and Communications Center (i.e. the Mailroom) will ensue, followed by a brief de
monstration of the flexibility of one of the new handcarts that have recently been purchases.
From that point, Shatsbaum has scheduled a planned three minute ‘hold’ while the astros avail themselves of the washrooms on the first floor of the building. Upon leaving the washrooms, Armstrong and Aldrin will enter the Physical Plant offices to pay hommage to the Barnes Security Chief, Field Marshall Rodney Legume (the ‘Concrete Fox’ ). During this visit, Astronaut Collins will circle the main door of the Physical Plant offices. He will link up with the moon- men and proceed to the cleverly stationed elevators directly opposite the Physical Plant area.
Accompanied by Shatsbaum, the astronauts will then proceed to the Mezzanine where Blood Drive will be taking place. After a brief tour of the beds and after consuming one drink a,nd hot dog each, the astronauts will take a quick stroll through the Percy Weismann Art Gallery, and then leave through a rear door and head for the Service Elevator, where they will be taken to the astronomy lab in the sub-basement.
The visit to the astronomy lab will conclude the visit to the Hall Building. Shatsbaum expects that the tour will last no more than twenty five minutes in total.
There is also a possibility that Montreal Mayor and widely famous hippy hunter Jean Drapeau will accompany Shatsbaum and the astronauts around Sir George •
Other stops on the Montreal tour are expected to be the Dow Planetarium, Place des Nations where a grand reception is being planned, and thé Chemistry lab in the St. Jean d ’Iberville High School.
Lunch and supper have been scheduled for the elegant Queen’s Lunch, which is expected to add a royal flavor to the affair.

Action at Board of Governors meetingThe first open meeting
of the Board of Governors of SGWU produced few surprises.
Few Governors showed up, and those who did, sat‘ for the most part, motionless, their frequent hacks and coughs alone bearing witness that they were not ambulatory creations of Madame Tus- seaud.
The Minutes were accepted without debate and Mr. Hyman Klutznick of Montreal was officially thanked for the stamp which accompanied the self addressed envelope which he forwarded in the course of a minor transaction with the Alumni Association. Vigorous debate erupted at
this point. The focus of the altercation was whether the date was June 12, 1968 or December 14, 1957. Principal and Vice Chancellor John W. O’Brien settled the issue immediately by pulling a calender out of thin air and informing the timultious throng that the date was, in fact, November 9, 1969. This, ended discussion and Dr. O ’Brien was asked to put the information in the form of a motion so that it might be voted upon and receive official sanction. He did and it did, thus affirming that Sir George Williams University will continue to calculate time in accordance with the Gregorian Calender.
The motion of a Governor, who, perhaps, should remain nameless, to the effect that Vice-Principal Administration and Finance John Smola be bartered to Domtar Inc. along with an option on his assistant A. J. Laprade and an administrator to be named later in exchange for twelve gallons of tar and an undisclosed amount of cash was discreetly defeated with Dr. Smola speaking against the motion. Board Chairman Alex Duff also suggested that the Governor in question not indulge in excessive pre-meeting refreshment in the future. This, although not in the form of a motion, was voted upon and passed with one

cordial note after the Governors struck a committee, chaired by Professor Hugh McQueen, faculty representative on the Board, with a mandate to “ explore

|S.G. in Grey Cup festSir George Williams Uni
versity will participate in this week’s Grey Cup festival. Victor Lazarovici, President of the Engineering Undergraduate Association, revealed in a press conference held in the Executive Offices of the ESA, that Sir George’s renowned Engineer’s band has been contracted to highlight the halftime pageant at Sunday’s CFL final at the Autostade.
Lazarovici, himself a fine second fiddler in the band, before throwing his slide rule into the political ring, explained that, “ The boys in the band had been hoping for this offer since the school year started, and everyone in the EUA is very pleased.” The President also stated that the musicians will be working overtime all week to prepare for the concert. He also said that any aspiring
musician interested in joining the band would be welcome as there are only two resident musicians at present. “ If there are no new members in the near future we may have to ask for the support of the McGill Plumber’s Philharmonic Orchestra, and this might be somewhat em- barising” Lazarovici added.
Sir George’s other commitments in the festival were recently finalized. Ed Aust, Arts President, will address the Grey Cup Banquet on, “ The Role of the Football Player in the Political Process” , also on the schedule for the Banquet is an adress by the Commissioner of the CFL, Jake Gaudaur, will be speaking on, “ The Role of Professional Sports in the University” . FreshmanQueen Gerri Pantel, will crown Miss Grey Cup on Friday evening.

The georgian is an editorially autonomous publication of the Student's Association of Sir George Williams University. Offices
^ are located in Rms H-647, H-649 of the Henry F. Hall building. ^
CrisisThe crisis which the georgian brought
to light in a previous editorial has been allowed to fester during the past month, and as a result, no adequate solution to the crisis has been presented.
Our student representatives have been strangely silent, and one wonders if there is a possibility that they in fact are complicit in the preposterous situation about which we speak. It is a sad time indeed when those who we elect to serve and represent our interests do not have the courage and fortitude to speak their mind on this issue.
While it is true that the students to whom we look for leadership have not been carrying out their responsibilities in this regard, it is also a truism that other sectors of the proverbial University community are not exactly blameless:
One need only look at the Sir George Williams Association of University Teachers. What has their position been, and where do they stand with regard to the future?
Instead of addressing themselves to the issue, they have engaged in redundant debate which does no credit to them as an organization, nor does it favorably reflect upon those members who form the 'bulk of the membership in SGWAUT.
One can understand the failure of bodies such as the Students’ Association or SGWAUT, because these bodies do not always have àt their disposal the best talent that is available, but the same cannot be said for the Administration.
Ultimately, it is them who will have to resolve this scurrilous situation. It is time a few pointed questions were asked: John O’Brien, what have you done? Prof. Bordan, where do you stand? Dr. Smola, what is your opinion? Dean Flynn,' what reports have you received from the various communities you are in contact with?
Unless answers can be had to these and other pressing questions, the reputation this University holds as a liberal, free-thinking, decisive institution will surely fall by the wayside. The time for action is now, and no action can be too swift so that this problem can be solved.
Need anymore be said?
The wheels of bourgeois Western justice have ground another thinking, breathing, human being into the dust. On March 17, 1969, John Q. Tso- ris, imbued with the spirit of free enterprise, entered the Ste. Catherine St. Branch of the Bank of Montreal seeking a short term loan which would have enabled him to open a string of whore houses upon which, he might have built a secure and productive future. T oday, he is in jail, a political prisoner serving a life sentence at St. Vincent de Paul Penetentiary. Such is the nature of the “ just society” .
The Bank refused his request. Tsoris, choked with bitter disappointment, his hopes and ambitions dashed, pulled a revolver from his pocket and shot the bloated, middle class manager between the eyes. Following this up, he mowed down three tellers, two bystanders, and a passing hobo. These actions were considered relevant by the Court. What it never even entertained for a moment is that none of the so-called victims ever made even the remotest attempt to communicate with poor Tsoris. They merely clutched their sides and fell to the floor. Clearly all are products of our egocentric social milieu.
Do they care?
No!
Do you care?
No!
Who cares?
It’s irrelevant...
The point that must be emphasized, above all else, is that failure to communicate is the direct cause of Tsoris’ incarceration. Never did those witnessing his grief and dismay try to reach out to him. Never, never, never! All they could think of was their wounds. They gave more consideration to wounds of the flesh than to wounds of the spirit and the ‘esteemed’ Court backed them up. What else could we expect from this screwed up inside out society? Surely not compassion or human kindness. That’s far too much to expect. When Tsoris ran from
the bureaucrat’s office waving the only symbol available that might yet affirm his humanity and negate the castration that he had just experienced, people ran away from him instead of to him. This, in essence, is why he is in prison. The only ones interested in him were the cops, agents of the political oligarchy.
The case of John Tsoris weighs on all of us. He tried to remove the shackles placed on him by a liberal, bleeding heart society and he is paying the price of dissent. It could happen to you, it could happen to me. But why? Why must we, the people, tolerate oppression? If the hypocrites who mqke and enforce laws are permitted to put men like John Tsoris in jail when his only “ crime” is humanity, whatwill they do next? Oh..........what’s the use? They will do what they have always done, treat people like inanimate objects that cannot be talked to and reasoned with. And while they do it they will use the flimsy pretext that society at large is safer because its John Tsoris’ are locked behind bars, partial human beings, unable to live life to its fullest.
Do you care? No. Do they care? No. Who cares? Its an irrelevant question anyway.

Dearest Sir,As the “ Gay Guy” on the
squamish squad, I am deeply insulted at the insinuations upon my character described by Ward and Vern. If this continues to occur, I shall be forced to press charges of defamation of character.
I extremely resented being called a “ super-sissy and I have never attended a sit-in abortion in my life. Also, Romeo Letch and I are just good friends-nothing more. These accusations make me spit, and I have a good mind to scratch your eyes out.
I repeat, if such procedures continue, I shall be forced to contact my lawyer, Winslow B. Flydipper (Queen’s Counsel) who shall slap your face.
In closing, I. must add that the next one of you jokers who vandalizes my beauty salon shall be sexually attacked.

Sir,Recently, my son- . A Sir
George Student- tried to puli a tasteiess joke on me by switching my weekly copy of that Bastian of American Sanity, Time Magazine, for a copy of the Harvard Lampoon’s satire on T ime. Naturally, being a weii educated and quick witted (Sir George Graduate) citizen, I immediately noticed the difference between the two publications.
These irresponsible students at Harvard gave slandered the name of everything that is good-the presidency, big business and war. I spent three years in England with the RCAF during the tough years, (1946-48) and there is nothing wrong with a good war to toughen up our pampered youth. The only accurate representation of the entire magazine were in the photos illustrating teenagers smoking LSD.
I can rest easy tonight knowing that if this letter is printed, it will be in the issue of
a newspaper known for its credibility and honest journalism.Anthony Blair-Whyte 11. Class of ’42
Dear Commie,I wish to protest the recent
gun registration bill. As a gun owner of two eyetalian guns I am a votin citizen who wants himself to be heard.
These commie sex perverts want to register our guns and leave us defenseless against the filthy scum, the workers. It is my constitutional right to own a gun- George Wallace told me so.
What could possibly be a nicer sight than a southern family sitting around the fire place of the plantation cleaning out their guns? This law cannot stick. If those northern commies in Washington believe it can, they are gullible enough to believe that THEY won the war.

INTERVIEW Don McPhie, Director of Food ServicesDon McPhie never wielded
a markers pencil, but his name, perhaps more than any other, can daily be found on the trembling lips of students and faculty members as they sip their morning coffee. In an effort to acquaint members of the University community with the man about whom so much is said hut so little is known, the georgian interviewed Mr. M cPhie and recorded his insightful comments on the state of food services at this institution.
After elbowing our wav through a crowd of pale students who were massed in front of the Office of the Director of Food Services chanting “ death to Don M cPhie” , we were informed that our target was out to lunch. A kalaidascopic tour of area restaurants ended abruptly at the Queens Lunch, where, partially hidden at a rear table, McPhie sat, about to
consume a fried chicken dinner. We sat down across the table from' him, switched on our tape recorder, and commenced.
georgian: I suppose that the logical openèr is why are you eating here instead of in your own cafeteria?
McPhie: Just keeping an eye on the competition... say, I’ll bet you really thought I was going to eat this stuff.
georgian: Well we did get that impression.
McPhie: Naw. I’m just trying to sneak some of this crap out of here so our lab boys can take a peek at it.
georgian: What do you expect them to find?
McPhie: Who knows? But I’ll bet it pales in comparison with the patie de foie gras we had as our daily special yesterday. In fact it probably isn’t fit for dog food.
georgian: What do think of the criticism that is regularly hurled at the cafe
teria? Is it justified?McPhie: Look, if you want
to nitpick you can find fault with anything. Just by way of example, some guy comes into my office yesterday shrieking something fierce. Seems that he bit into two bobby pins and a fountain pen in the apple pie. The way he was screaming you’d think I killed him.
georgian: What did you do?
McPhie: I returned hismoney, (confidentially) That was a political move.
georgian: In what way?McPhie: Well the nine
guys that came with him threatened to break my fingers and the way I figure it, anything that keeps me in one piece is a political move.
georgian: Does this sort of thing happen frequently?
McPhie: Not as much as some people seem to think. Actually, I think that the grip
ing is done by a small, organized, and highly vocal minority.
georgian: Have you any evidence to support this theory?
McPhie: Who needs evidence? I’m around the seventh floor all day, every afternoon some joker in a green turtleneck clutches his abdoman and staggers down the escalator. Thinks he’s a riot. Its wiseacres like that that cause the problems.
georgian: Come on now, isn’t it so that some rather strange objects have been found in cafeteria food. Even you admit that bobby pins and fountain pens show up in apple pie.
McPhie: I said fountain pen, not fountain pens. Lets be fair and accurate.
georgian: We apologise,but you havn’t answered the question.
McPhie: Look, accidents happen. The other day I heard

screaming around the cash, so I go over to check and find some guy all hot and bothered. Claimed that the layer cake tasted like glue.
georgian: Did it taste like glue?
McPhie: So happens that this time he was right. Some one in the bake shop mixed flour and water instéad of flour and sugar and the stuff didn’t taste very good. The point is that this guy makes trouble all the time. Makes snide remarks about “ ptomaine gardens” and gives forth with agonizing groans at the drop of a hat.
georgian: To change the subject, why don’t we have more vending machines? They seem to be very popular.
McPhie: Because they are a drag to service. First they run short of cups, then its covers, then sugar etc. etc. Fah. who needs the headaches?
georgian: We’ve heardwild rumors that cafeteria coffee just won a golden cup award. Surely there is no basis in fact for it?
McPhie: (Proudly) I am pleased to inform you that those so-called “ rumours” are one hundred per cent correct. We have won a golden cup award.
georgian: Just what is involved in the judging?
McPhie: Not much. I just sent a sample of our freshly brewed coffee to some place in the States and they analyzed it.
georgian: They certainly couldn’t have tasted it.
M cPhie: Picky, picky.They don’ t have to taste it they happen to be experts.
georgian: Do you have any innovations in mind for food services that you might let Us in on?
M cPhie: Well... our electric bills have been exhor- bitant recently, so we’ll be experimenting with wall paper that glows in the dark.
georgian: Nothing else?McPhie: Naw. But, I will,
be announcing the results of a fascinating experiment that I’ve just finished. You see, I’ve maintained for some, time now, that cafeteria food is so wholesome and nutritious that a person who ate nothing else would show a marked- improvement in his physical well being. So I made a deal with this guy who was about as average as you can get and fed him a steady diet of daily specials.
georgian: Did it make a significant difference to his physical condition? Did he gain weight?
McPhie: I’ll let you know as soon as I receive the autopsy report.

In 1883, Karl Marx died. Since you can’t say anything bad about dead people, I won’t. He’s dead-good! Because of that lousy swine (of whom Bill Buckley once said “ Karl Who?) we will have to kill every Rooshian and Egg- roll to make the world safe for mom, apple pie and the girl next door.
It’s guys like Marx who make me say that the only good commie is a dead and mutilated commie. Here is how I justify my statements.
Commies can always be recognized from the way they talk. A true red-blooded commie will always refer to people as the masses. These masses are your everyday scum, wTiores, punks, degenerates and tennis show wearers. So there will be no mistake about who these “ pinko” commie punks are, let us describe ‘em and share in the fun of hating these swine. These commies have plots which will attempt to destroy our great nation which have included water flouridation, sex education, scungilli and meatballs, and David and Julie Eisenhower. These pastafazo- ola lovers will stop at nothing and so now is the time for every red-blooded bible- toting American to stand up and fight, suspect his neigh-
Rodenthour, man the ramparts, sharpen his aim and save freedom from these red animals.
So far, thanks to the help of Bill Buckly, George Wallace, and the state troopers we have kept ‘em at bay.
In a recent report published in the Poh-leece Gazette, the John Birch Society has shown that Communism leads to harder drugs, sex, crime, cancer, pimples and black heads.
For those of you who are still not into Communism and what it means, here is a poem that might help. “ What’s your’s is mine, and what’s mine is mine” . Another ribtickler by that eye- talian boy Ofto or ferali or something is - “ Roses are red,^violets are blue. We’re taking your house yer loan’s overdue!”
A list of known Communists are: Dwight Eisenhower, Pope John, H.H.H. which stands for Ha! Ha! Ha! and George E- lias. If seen shoot them on sight and then give them twenty years in Leavenworth. In the words of Robert Kertes “ Let this be a warning for any of you workers out there (ya filthy scum), “ If you unite you have nothing to lose but yer worthless lives!” So remember only YOU can pre- cent Communism. So get involved!

Sir George to get grant of $17.32Sir George Williams Uni
versity made international headlines once again yesterday, when it was learned that the Department of Education’s annual operating grant will be $17.32.
Speaking at a press conference held in his Quebec City office, Education Minister Jean Guy Cardinal revealed that “ owing to other priorities, Sir George Williams will be asked to tighten its belt'during the upcoming (70- 71) ‘academic year” . The M inister added that he was delighted with the progress being made on the indoor, 20, 000 car parking lot at the University of Montreal. “ I am delighted with the prog
ress being made” , he said.When asked if the unusually
low operating grant indicated a trend away from English language education in the province, Mr. Cardinal replied in the negative. “ Sir George is not utilizing its space to maximum effect” , he said. “ Classes there end at 10:25 P.M. and after that thousands of square feet are idle. They will just have to do better than that.”
When contacted by the georgian, Principal and Vice-Chancellor John W. O’Brien expressed mild disappointment with the Education Department’s decision. “ There are no shortage of
difficulties involved with operating a university on $17. 32” , he said. “ Nevertheless,” he continued, “ it would seem that a few corners will have to be cut along the way, since last years grant amounted to 5.2 million dollars.”
Acting Vice-Principal Academic Jack Bordan was somewhat more blunt. “ The shit has really hit the fan this time” , he moaned. “ There goes all of the experimental programs that we had hoped to introduce during the 70-71 academic year.”
Bordan went Qn to say that all available data had been fed to the University’s giant CDC-3600 computer in an at
tempt to work out the problem. “ The thing hasn’t said much yet” , he cautioned, “ but I’m receiving hourly reports of its progress.”
Speculation by usually reliable sources around the Norris Building is, that the small grant is meant as a gentle hint to both 'Sir George and Loyola that merger plans have not been progressing as quickly as the Education Department would like them to. The georgian attempted to contact Loyola Principal, the very Rev. Patrick J. Malone for his comments, but he has apparently left town in anticipation of receiving an operating grant of $1.56.
Dr. John O ’Brien “ ... no shortage o f problems” .

SQAMISH georgian sportsSquamish squad wins !
It was a great evening as the Georgian Squamish Squad seeked out a victory over a hew team from St. Hermas de Blainville Tech Friday night at the St. Hermas coliseum. A spectacular crowd of over 37 people watched both teams run neck and neck until the 7th ogre. A scoreless deadlock was broken when Plato Pigsby opened up the middle to let Aristotle Shwartz relay to Lance Lo- veguard who tip-toed in for the double durmish to win 2-0.
It was in the 3rd ogre that
Loveguard, in his ballet-like form, was sexually attacked by Willard LaPlouffe, a -Blainville player, whose eyes had been scratched out by the super sissy. Lance’s bosom buddy, Romeo Letch, was heard as saying, “ I hope the savage gets pregnant.”
Referees Bert Flurter and Howard J. Ganglinger were . rather severe handing out 4 Georgian penalties to Ron Britz for manslaughter, Halitosis Horton for hiccups, Firstly Spencer for running on the blue line and Chumley
Froth Tettey Jr. for excess growth on his neck.

in Dawson learning the ways of the antelope. It was here that he met his first wife, a mental escapée, Laverne Shickelgruber, whose father put holes in doughnuts. Married 58 months, they were divorced 2 years ago.
Last March, Veeblefetzer fell in love with Lucille Pum- pernick, a peeping-tom and all round yenta. The marriage lasted 4 days.
Presently an eligible bachelor, Veeblefetzer is looking for a big-breasted hussy who likes beans and prune danish. “ At least with her I’ll be kept on the run” says our coach.
A strict enforcer, Veeblefetzer has the team strengthening up by playing with their yo-yo’s and hulla hoops at 4 a.m.. When asked what he thought the team’s chances were, our coach replied, “ We certainly have a homy bunch of guys. They’re bound to win some games.”
Veeblefetzer, a man of strong determination and fallen arches, hopes for a long stay with the Georgian squad.
