4 The Po stgrad THE PRESIDENT'S PAGE

By GERALD MILLER

President, Association of Alumni, SGWU

The past year has seen our Alumni Association go forth along several new paths. This was the first year that we instituted a yearly membership fee. Your respome to this new innovation was very encouraging. More members have con­ tributed to the Asrnciation this year than in any previous year. The acquirement of Mr. John Ferguson as our Executive Director leads us down another new path. The new year will see many new ideas being started ·under him. - R ecently I atten:ded the first reunion held at Sir George. This was between the Georgian Basketball Team and its Alumni members. It was good to see familiar faces. I hope that this idea, started by the Athletic Department of the University will continue in future years. Your executive is at the present time planning a huge reunion of all years and faculties. This should be held sometime in the fall of 1961. Your executive entertained at a dinner for the executive members of the Students' Undergraduate Society and also for the Evening Students Association. The editor and assistant editor of the Georgian also attended. This meeting was held because your executive felt that we were becoming too distant from the students of our university. From this meeting a closer liaison has been established between us and the students. With the Christmas season upon us I would like to take this opportunity to extend to all alumni the best wishes of the Board of Directors, and my own personal, sincere wish that all of you may find in 1961 a prosperous and a H appy New Year.

8 The Postgrod LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Dear Sir :

This letter is to inform you, and readers of this publication, about the improved relationship developed recently between the As~ociation of Alumni of Sir George and the students generally. For cOI!; e time, this relationship was anything but cordial; as a matter of fact, many students - including some holding positions in student government - claimed that they hardly knew an Alumni Association existed. This state of affairs became known to the Alumni Board of Directors, and they decided to do something about it. O n October 27 th, 1960, the Alumni Executive played host to the Evening Students As~ociation Executive, the S.U .S . Executive, the Editor of "The Geor­ gian", and his assistant. At this supper meeting, each member of the Alumni executive present outlined one particular phase of Alumni affairs; such as aims and objects of the Association ; its activities; its finances; the li aison with the University's Board of Governors through the Alumni's two representatives to that Board ; and the publicity provided by "The Postgrad" . Considerable discussion followed, ancl many que3tions were asked by the students and answered by their hosts. The main re,ul t of that meeting was that clo~er co-operation was to be sought between under­ graduate and graduate bodie3. In the fe w weeks which have elapsed since then, the liaison between Alumni and students has improved almost beyond expectation. Correspondence between the Alumni office, and the students' offi ces has increased considerably. M any req ueJts have been received by the Alumni for support- fin ancial and otherwise­ for undergraduate projects. M o t of these requests were granted ; a few which were thought by the Board of Directors to be out of Alumni juri diction, or otherwise un acceptable, had to be refused. A Georgian reporter interviewed President Gerry Miller, and this interview appeared in "The Georgian". Alumni executive members are now receiving by mail copie, of " The Georgian"; ( it is hoped to expand this group to include the Board of Directors) . The various student offices, including the " Georgian" offi ce, are receiving copies of " The Postgrad" . This welcome " Fraternization" reached a fitting climax the weekend of Dec. 9-10-11 , when the Evening Students Association of S.G.W .U. played host to the Fin t International Conference of Evening Student Councils. The Alumni executive was invited to attend the opening banquet Friday evening in Birks H all; also the Xmas Ball on Saturday night; and the Closing Lunch on Sunday at the Berkeley H otel, which was sponsored by our Association. President Gerry Miller spoke briefl y at this la~t affair ..L et us all attempt to imprqve the good relationship between Al umni and student ,. In cl6sing, Mr. Editor, may I wish you, fellow Alumni, and all " Postgrad" reader~ the Compliments of the Season, and Best Wishes fo r a H appy New Year. .

10 The Pastgrad SIR GEORGE WILUAMS UNIVERSITY WINTER CARN IVAL

The Sir George Williams University Winter Carnival which will be held this year on February 9, 10 and 11, I 961, is the most popular social event of the school year. An annual affair it is set in and around Montreal during the second week-end in February. Variety is the keinote for every Winter Carnival. During its twelve year history, every conceivable type of activity has been included, directly or otherwise in the Carnival. Early in February, nominations for Queen are received. Any girl enrolled in the University, Day or Evening, or in the associated Sir George schools is eligible for the honour. After a panel of judges narrows the contestants down to five in number, student voting is held to determine the winner. While this is going on, many of the university clubs are busily preparing snow sculptures on nearby lots. This event is judged on the Friday of Carnival week. Actual festivities commence on the Thursday with a sleighride and torchlight parade across historic Mount Royal to the Chalet. Prior to their appearance, the Carnival is officially opened. Among those to open past Carnivals, have been university officials, sports celebrities, and in recent years, the City's Mayor. After opening the affair, he has the honour to announce and crown the Carnival Queen. Friday night is the least strenuous of Carnival events. This is the night of the ·winter R evue, or Variety Show. Composed mainly of university talent, and sprinkled with professional acts from the Montreal niteries, it is small wonder that it is considered the best show of the year. Despite this, come 8 o'clock Saturday morning hundreds of Georgians and their friends pack into buses for the journey up north. At some ski resort in the Laurentians, the students pile out for a day of outdoor fun. By 4 o'clock, it is a bunch of weary Georgians who board the buses for the long trek back to the city. Back home, the gang catch up on rest, to be in reason­ able shape for the Carnival Ball that night.

Many years of study and sacrifice came to a climax last Friday when 15 3 student" received their degrees, diplomas and certificates at the Fall Convocation Ceremonies held at the Salvation Army Citadel. The Convocation Exercises began with the ceremonial procession of graduates and faculty to their respective places to the accompaniment of an organ prelude given by Dr. D. M. Herbert. After the Invocation administered by Rev. Leonard Mason, Mr. B. W . Roberts, chancellor and chairman of the Board of Governors of Sir George Williams University welcomed the graduates and their guests, the Rev. Mason an·l Dr. J. Robin (Roby) Kidd, who had been invited to give the Convocation Address. Dr. Kidd, who is the Director of the Canadian Association for Adult Educa­ tion, began his address by quoting a passage of Peter Drucker's new book, "Land­ marks of Tomorrow". "The modern age is giving way to a new age, and age not yet named".

EDUCATIVE SOCIETY Dr. Kidd went on to say- "I have been brash enough to give this age a name, or rather I shall give a name to our emerging society - a name that will, I think, best characterize it - The Educative Socfety". "The characteristics of this society are threefold", explained the Doctor. "First there is 'word mobility' - i.e. the nature of our work changes and we also change jobs". Another characteristic of this emerging society is our obligation as a parent. "Most of you", stated the Doctor, "must develop the capacity for living with and aiding in the development of children". The third characteristic of this Educative Society is one's obligation to the state. Dr. Kidd explained by stating that "the elected representatives or rulers of our complicated society all need a sound education. "Democracy brings it certain free­ do!Jls but there is no freedom to be ignorant". A good citizen is not just a law abiding citizen, he is a "participating citizen". Dr. Kidd then went on to describe the role of the University. "In the world city of Montreal", began the Doctor, "the university has universal claims ont it". Many students from many lands bring their peculiar educational needs to the corridors of S.G.W.U. and our educational system must offer what we have to the education of people elsewhere" . Dr. Kidd concluded by stating, "It may be that education may not only be the chief purpose and distinguishing mark of our society but might also be one of the chief means by which men will choose to live together rather than become extinct". After Dr. Kidd's address the graduating students were presented with their degrees and diplomas by Principal and Vice-Chancellor, Dr. Henry F. Hall. Among the graduates presented to Dr. Hall by Dean Rae, was Frederick Hall, Dr. Hall's son. Refreshments, donated by the Alumni Association, were served in Birks Hall after the exercises.

WINTER ISSUE 21 SENIORS OUTLAST OLDSTERS TO TAKE EXHIBITION 69-61 By MEL KRONISH from The GEORGIAN The Sir George Williams University Georgians opened the new season with an impressive 69-61 victory over the SGWU Grads last Friday evening at the Central 'Y'. The Alumni, with such stars as Dick MacKay, Ricky Freitag, Jim Peffers, and Glen Wood, were a bit short on legs, but battled all the way. The first half of the game was a sluggish affair. The Georgians opened a small lead. At quarter time the score was 15-12. Led by Sy Luterman and Bob ·watson, the M&G built up an eight point lead, only to see it quickl y cut in half when MacKay hit for two baskets, and by half time the Georgian lead was only three points. Coach Mag Flynn started the game with Willie Epstein, Sonny Gordon, Don Hurley, Luterman and Watson. After five minutes of play he sent in Howie Nathan, Dave Gallet, Solly Apel, Vic Chortyk and John Gilman. These boys held their own and played inspired ball, although a bit nervous in their first collegiate game. In the latter half, the Georgians began to roll. With Watson hitting consistentl y with his one hand push shot the count was upped to 59-42. Then the Grads put on a driving display with Ellemo, Pat Baker and Freitag hitting the hoop. They nar­ rowed the gap to 61-57 but the M&G sewed up the game when Apel and Hurley sunk two pointers. For the Georgians, Watson was high man with 19 points followed by Luter­ man with 10. Nathan, Hurley and Apel each chipped in with seven. The Grads top scorers were MacKa y, Ellemo and Wood with 12, 11 and six points respectively. As this was their first encounter, the Georgians were experimenting with different men. Their shooting was off, especially Epstein and Gordon. Willie was a tower of strength on the back-boards, but Gordon could not get untracked and finally fouled out midway through the second half. Amongst the rookies, Nathan and Chortyk showed promise. The Georgians were handicapped playing on the small fl oor and were constantly running into each other or opposing teammates for the ball . The Georgians' next game will be Tuesday, Nov. 15, at the Mont St. Louis gym with U of M providing the opposition. A junior tilt will precede this game.
