When the provincial government set up draft legislation to establish a new university in B.C., the proposed name was Fraser University. In 1963, the minister responsible, Les Peterson, changed the name to Simon Fraser University — likely because he didn’t like the idea of those first two initials on a varsity jacket. (SFU was nicknamed the “instant university” because construction started in November 1963 and it welcomed its first 2,628 students in September 1965.) President Patrick McTaggart-Cowan hangs out with students on the steps on opening day in 1965. 2. SFU’s mountaintop location inspired architect Arthur Erickson to look to the Acropolis in Athens and the hill towns of Italy for ideas. He designed terraced buildings to remain in harmony with the contours of the landscape. http://blogs.theprovince.com/2016/01/30/50-little-known-facts-about-50-year-old-simon-fraser-university/ 16/34 1/31/2016 50 little-known facts about 50-year-old Simon Fraser University | The Province 3. A signature Erickson touch was the reflecting pond in the Academic Quadrangle. When staff cleaned out the pond in 2008 — relocating about 400 resident fish to a holding tank during the process — they found two pairs of glasses, three hockey pucks, a hearing aid, a “really boring” diary, two cellphones, a five-pin bowling ball, some liquor bottles and a sodden copy of the Thomas Hardy novel Tess Of The D’Urbervilles with an inscription that read: “She should have kicked him in the strawberries.” 4. In 1969, after snowfall cracked panes of glass in Convocation Mall, the entire roof was replaced with reinforced glass at a cost of $70,000. Less than two weeks before SFU was set to open in 1965, heavy rainfall caused huge puddles around campus, making it difficult for students such as, from left, Donna Howat, Carol McCullough and Terry Einarson, to navigate. (Bill Cunningham, PNG files) 5. SFU’s ceremonial mace weighs about 10.5 kilograms. It was commissioned by university architects Erickson and http://blogs.theprovince.com/2016/01/30/50-little-known-facts-about-50-year-old-simon-fraser-university/ 17/34 1/31/2016 50 little-known facts about 50-year-old Simon Fraser University | The Province Geoffrey Massey and designed by Haida artist Bill Reid. In fall 2014, Helen Wussow, former dean of Lifelong Learning, became the first woman in SFU’s history to carry the mace during convocation ceremonies. 6. Artists invited to perform at SFU for non-credit workshops have ranged from urban theorist Buckminster Fuller to jazz pianist Oscar Peterson. 7. In March 1966, SFU students voted overwhelmingly against fraternities in a special campus referendum. The freaks didn’t want no Greeks. Their decision has been upheld to this day. (Some students belong to fraternities but those groups aren’t recognized by the SFU student society.) 8. In 1965, SFU became the first university in Canada to offer athletic scholarships. 9. The new university quickly became a hotbed of student radicalism. In 1966, two SFU faculty members, Mordecai Bremberg and Paul Ivory, were active with the Vancouver Committee to Aid War Objectors, which provided American draft dodgers with shelter and other help during the Vietnam War. In 1967, five teaching assistants were fired for holding a demonstration at Templeton Secondary in Vancouver. The dean of arts resigned in protest over the firings and 2,000 students and faculty held a rally. The firings were reversed. 10. SFU’s first student protest in 1966 was over the construction of a Shell service station on campus. A “Shift Shell” rally brought out about 1,000 students. Research for this feature was graciously provided by some of the contributors to the upcoming book Remembering SFU: On The Occasion Of Its 50th Birthday. The book will be available online and at SFU’s campus bookstores on Feb. 22. 11. In 1968, student council members sought to rename the school Louis Riel University, calling explorer Simon Fraser “a member of the vanguard of pirates, thieves and carpet-baggers which ​dispossessed and usurped the native Indians of Canada from their rightful heritage.” The referendum motion failed. 12. Nearly 180 students occupied four floors of the administration building in November 1968 to protest that students transferring to SFU from B.C. colleges weren’t receiving credit for all their college courses. University brass eventually called in the police. The occupation and standoff coincided with rehearsals for a student production of Shakespeare’s war tragedy Coriolanus in the nearby theatre. John Juliani — then a 28-year-old theatre instructor at SFU who would go on to become a B.C. theatre legend — thought it would be cool to blast the sounds of gunfire from an amplifier atop the theatre during the real- life standoff while his cast came outside in makeup and bizarre costumes to watch as police gathered in the mall to take back the building. The police commissioner on the scene chose to ignore the stunt but the student occupiers were arrested. 13. When the university first opened, women made up 37 per cent of the student body. Of the faculty staff of 126, 16 were women. In summer 1968, a group of women asked the administration for a room to set up a daycare. When their request was http://blogs.theprovince.com/2016/01/30/50-little-known-facts-about-50-year-old-simon-fraser-university/ 18/34 1/31/2016 50 little-known facts about 50-year-old Simon Fraser University | The Province denied, the women set one up anyway, volunteering to watch each other’s children. 14. By fall 2014, 13,000 of SFU’s 25,000 undergrads were women and the faculty staff was made up of 330 women and 634 men. Women made up 37 per cent of the student body when SFU opened, and now make up the majority. (PNG files) 15. When SFU opened, there were no women’s intercollegiate athletic programs. By 1968, there were four women’s varsity teams (basketball, track, field hockey and swimming) but they received minimal funding. 16. In 1970, SFU became the first university in Canada to implement computerized registration. 17. In 1968, SFU became the first university in ​Canada to create an ​executive MBA. 18. SFU was the first Canadian university to appoint a female president. Dr. Pauline Jewett took on the role in 1974. Jewett was a former MP under Liberal prime minister Lester Pearson who quit the party when the War Measures Act was invoked. A year after leaving SFU in 1978, she returned to Parliament as a New Democrat MP. http://blogs.theprovince.com/2016/01/30/50-little-known-facts-about-50-year-old-simon-fraser-university/ 19/34 1/31/2016 50 little-known facts about 50-year-old Simon Fraser University | The Province SFU’s first female president, Pauline Jewett, is escorted on her first day to her new office by piper/professor Bill Dickson of the economics department in September 1974. (George Diack, PNG files) 19. A group of students founded SFU’s pipe band in 1966. One of only four pipe bands located outside of the United Kingdom that have won a World Pipe Band Championship, the band’s achievements include opening for rocker Rod Stewart at concerts in 1989 and 1991. 20. In August 1971, another clash of Shakespeare and loud noises took place at SFU when sci-fi thriller The Groundstar Conspiracy, starring George Peppard, was shot on campus — explosions and all — at the same time that the more sedate World Shakespeare Congress was held. 21. In 1977, Patrick Stewart (who went on to play Star Trek: The Next Generation’s Captain Jean-Luc Picard) and Ben Kingsley (who went to win an Oscar for his performance in Gandhi) were among the actors from England’s Royal Shakespeare Company who came to SFU as part of an artist-in-residence program. They held workshops and performed a series of Shakespearean plays that attracted more than 1,900 fans. http://blogs.theprovince.com/2016/01/30/50-little-known-facts-about-50-year-old-simon-fraser-university/ 20/34 1/31/2016 50 little-known facts about 50-year-old Simon Fraser University | The Province The Royal Shakespeare Company — including (left to right) Richard Pasco, Sheila Allen, Patrick Stewart and Ben Kingsley — did a residency at SFU in 1977.

  • PENNY LANG: 1942-2016 “One of Canada’S Undeniable Treasures” Montreal Int’L Jazz Festival
    PENNY LANG: 1942-2016 “one of Canada’s undeniable treasures” Montreal Int’l Jazz Festival Penny Lang emerged on the North American music scene in the 1960s. Her powerful interpretations and originals in folk, blues, country and gospel have gained her a large and devoted following as "a superb singer of sardonic folk material… hugely entertaining" (The Toronto Star). She also remained true to the art of entertaining, keenly perceptive and able to read the mood of her audiences. No two shows were alike, as she was a master communicator. Her songs: emotionally powerful observations of the human condition, sometimes poignant, sometimes hilarious, always memorable. Born in east-end Montréal to a musical family, Penny Lang learned the ropes in prisons, hospitals, churches, camps and dusty old theatres. During the 1960s she performed at major folk festivals (Philadelphia, Mariposa..), folk clubs and countless bars throughout North America. Her mentors were Dave vanRonk and Kate McGarrigle; she hung with Stevie Wonder and the Reverend Gary Davis; she adored Nina Simone and Pete Seeger. A near brush with fame occurred when she was asked to record Leonard Cohen’s Suzanne for a US major label but it was not to be. Her darkest years lay ahead of her, and Penny left regular performing in 1970 after the birth of her son Jason. In 1988, after some time living in rural Québec, Penny re-emerged a stronger woman and a more powerful force. With the help of friends she directed her energies into songwriting, and was welcomed back to an adoring public. She became the darling of le tout Montréal, virtually precipitating a folk/roots revival.

  • I'm Special I I'm Special
    !^W.'UJtf"-V^j! _j my I'm Special i I'm special. In all the world there's nobody like me. Since the beginning of time, there has never been another person like me. Nobody has my smile. Nobody has my eyes, my nose, my hair, my voice. I'm special. No one can be found who has my handwriting. Nobody anywhere has my tastes - for food or music or art. no one sees things just as I do. In all of time there's been no one who laughs like me, no one who cries like me. And what makes me laugh and cry will never provoke identical laughter and tears from anybody else, ever. No one reacts to any situation just as I would react. I'm special. I'm the only one in all of creation who has my set of abilities. Oh, there will always be somebody who is better at one of the things I'm good at, but no one in the universe can reach the quality of my com­ bination of talents, ideas, abilities and feelings. Like a room full of musical instruments, some may excel alone, but none can match the symphony of sound when all are played together. I'm a symphony. Through all of eternity no one will ever look, talk, walk, think or do like me. I'm special. I'm rare. And in rarity there is great value. Because of my great rare value, I need not attempt to imitate others. I willl accept - yes, celebrate - my differences.

This is not a list of every wonderful book ever written! Also, some are hard to find or out of print. Nevertheless, I want writers to know about them.) 2 WRITERS ON WRITING: YOURS, THEIRS, OURS Barrington, Judith. Writing the Memoir. Eighth Mountain Press, 1997. Berkinow, Louis. Among Women. Harper, 1981. A ground–breaking personal piece of literary criticism looking at the relationships between women in fiction: mother and daughter, sisters, friends, lovers. Her book observes that traditionally, when a man walks out of a room in a novel, the plot follows him. An influential book on the design of Saga writing workshops. Bly, Carol. Beyond the Writers' Workshop: New Ways to Write Creative Nonfiction. Anchor Books, 2001. This is a current, responsible look at the act and art of writing. Boland, Eavan.

The Writer's Home Companion: An Anthology of the World's Best Writing Advice, from Keats to Kunitz. Henry Holt, l997. Well this is an ambitious claim for a book, but Bolker's participation in the writing life is to be taken into account. The anthology includes her remarkable essay: "A Room of One's Own is Not Enough", written after many years of working with women who suffered writer's block and the absence of confidence in using their own voice.

    COMMUNIQUÉ Volume 27, Issue 30 July 28, 2020 WE Scandal Highlights the PM’s Ethical Incoherence Rod Taylor Leader, CHP Canada There are limits to public credulity and tolerance for blatantly reckless behaviour with public funds. The failed attempt by Prime Minister Trudeau to funnel $43.5 million of taxpayer money to his friends at the WE Charity Foundation fell outside those limits. The optics were bad. The amounts were staggering. The lies uttered to cover it up were appalling. This was not simply a Prime Minister’s error in judgment. This was a campaign to divert public funds into behind-the- scenes partisan grooming. The idea of passing nearly a billion dollars ($912 million, to be exact) into the hands of a charity connected with the Liberal brand raises questions on its face. Investigators have also discovered that the since- aborted contract to administer $912 million was not even made directly with WE Charity but with the WE Charity Foundation, a separate (sort of) charity that has only been registered for just over a year. It has no significant assets and no proven track record; it appears the reason for using a separate charity was to minimize liability risk for We Charity.1 The fact that the WE Charity Foundation would have pocketed about $43.5 million for distributing the rest of the money makes one blink hard, especially when Canada already has an army of civil servants who have proven themselves quite capable of handing out taxpayers’ money. Side-stories, new angles and “footnotes-of-interest” seem to be sprouting up all along the trail.
