It is possible to communicate beautifullyand completely—without saying asingle word. Claude St. Dennisfeels sure that the ancient art ofpantomime, the earliest dramaform, is not dying out at all: buthis workshop in Montreal is onlyfor the most perseverent and courageous of would-be mimics. Theability to represent one's emotionsand actions entirely through bodymovements and gestures requiresmore precision than the dance, aprodigious memory, and. most important of all, a knowledge of"soul." In Claude's words, "Thesoul, the emotion, is the hardestthing to capture. If one has toomuch technique he will tire an audience in five minutes. To donothing, one must know everyonthing." The performanceThursday evening showed a greatunderstanding on the artist's partof the universality of human emotion. Who has not felt pangs of mistrust for a dentist; who has notwashed dishes; who has not sung inthe shower? Claude St. Dennis andhis assistant Lucie Bertrand, callsomeone.it,"the universal language." Performing before 850 deaf-mutes,Mr. St. Dennis knew that "for thefirst time in many of their lives,they were able to live truly normallives."Where does character mimicrycome from? Says the expert,"from the interior—the soul."Claude St. Dennis is a soul man.Another soul man, Leonard Cohen,puts it this way:You tell me that silenceis nearer to peace than poemsbut if for my giftI brought you silence(for I know silence)you would sayThis is not silencethis is another poemand you would hand it back to me.Subcommittee appointedDr. Peters made the following 111 Service AreasCoach Davidappointments recently to head theKnight1.

3THE CORD WEEKLYThe CORD WEEKLYThe Cord Weekly is published once a week by the Board of Publications of Waterloo Lutheran University, Waterloo, Ontario Editorial opinions are independentof the University, Student's Administrative Council and the Board of Publications,Friday, January 16, 1970The Cord Weekly needs staff„Office: Student Union BuildingPhone:Member of the Canadian University PressNews 744-5923Ads 744-8681Editor-in-chiefTonu AunManaging Editor: Lindsay ShielsPhoto Editor: Wayne PatzalekAdvertising Manager: Ron WhitePublications Chairman: R.SuttonPRAYER, MAYBEDear Readers, once again you have a new editor. Hehas some new ideas and some enthusiasm. These qualities are necessary, but are not sufficient in themselvesto publish a newspaper. He needs other people withideas, suggestions and enthusiasm. He also needs moralsupport. However, most importantly, he needs the oldfashioned "perspiration" type of support. If you can orwant to write. The Cord can use you; if you can type. TheCord desperately needs you; if you have any ability,desire, or experience, the editor personally is willing toget on his knees and bow to Allah if you will only comeand offer your services. The current staff situation isslightly tense (desperate even) and unless you offeryour services, The Cord will cease publication. It's notmerely a question of having a Cord whatsoever. Thereis no way this point can be over-stressed—unless thecavalry arrive, the wagon train will be wiped out. Only,this is real life with no miraculous Hollywood endings.It's between you and your apathy—will it be the lady orthe tiger? Seriously, this time the wolf has arrived.Procrustes still livesHere we are, it's a bright new year and the beginningof a great new decade. Human frailty is wonderful;it allows us hope when reason dictates no hope. We sitback insouciantly ignoring the realities of the past toeuphoricly contemplate the future. Procrustes wouldenjoy our times if perchance he did not find himselfhopelessly provincial. Our society is wondrous atchopping facts to fit theories. Our visionary (credulous, myopic) radicals are the great liberators. Theirsententious visions are Olympian; but so were Snowball's. An artical in August's "Saturday Night" labelledthe radical left fascistic—as a label that fits as well asany. So all you unaligned, unless you are positively assured your ascendency into the new elite, don't bothergoing left—it's not worth the hassle. Sadly, the right isequally proficient at chopping and fitting, and thus—wholy justified—obscenely propagates the ultimate atrocity; abridging freedom. Which master to serve, assumingthere is more than a superficial difference? God only knows—assuming he is more than an expedient used to justifyevil.STUDENT PAPER?To the editor:Recently I have noticed increasing criticism of The Cordcoming, largely, from the administration, faculty, and non-advertising buiness men. The Cord is aStudent newspaper (for the benefitof anyone who has forgotten this)and in my opinion, must continueto serve the interests of the student body. It is they who shouldexpress dissatisfaction.Forumber 12, I wonder why the Cord staffdoesn't give up if it has nothingbetter to print than that. Yes, asof late, the Cord certainly has beenhitting rock bottom. Because thematerial in the Cord does to a certain degree reflect on the studentbody. I find it insulting that thiskind of garbage appears in thenewspaper. If the picture wasmeant to be witty —it wasn't, rather, it was simply disgusting.What's the point'?MARILYN CONNORF.

4THE CORD WEEKLYIntroduction by ChaplainMorrisonArticle by John FisherLike many educational institutions,WLU is approaching a critical time inits history In one respect, however,its situation is unique. It is the lastprivate university inusinOntario Most ofthe university community believethat a small private university like ourshas something special to contribute tosociety, which justifies public supportmust recognizefor the school But wethat at a time when governments arecarefully examining the use of publicfunds for education, there will be aspecial burden on us as a private university to justify public support Is itnot, then, incumbent upon us to undertake a continuous reexamination ofour educational contribution in an effort to try to discover new and betterways to make our university serve theneeds of our societyIn the following article, John Fishermaintainsthat there is a desperateneed in our society which is not beingmettionsby existing educational instituAccording to Fisher, there is agreat deal of scientific evidence whichsuggests that the human race is ap-proaching a crisis—a crisis of survival.He goes on to argue that the onlyhope for the human race is to createeducational institutions which addressthemselves directly to this problem.It seems to me important to ask ourselves the question of what implications, if any, does Fisher's problemhave for our university?Survival U"It gets pretty depressing to watchwhat is going on in the world andrealize that youreducation is notequipping you to do anything aboutit."from a letter by a Universityof California senior.She is not a radical, and has nevertaken part in any demonstrations.She will graduate with honours, andprofound disillusionment. From listening to her—and a good many likeminded students at California andEast Coast campuses—l think I ambeginning to understand what theymean when they say that a liberalarts education isn't relevant.They mean it is incoherent. Itdoesn't cohere. It consists of bitsand pieces which don't stick together, and have no common purpose.One of our leading Negro educators,Arthur Lewis of Princeton, recentlysummed it up better than I can."America is the only country," hesaid, "where youngsters are required to fritter away their preciousFriday, January 16. 197qProspectus for a really relevantyears in meaningless peregrinationfrom subject to subject.spendingtwelve weeks seeking entertainmentfrom the economics professor,twelve weeks getting some tidbitsof religion, twelve weeks learningFrench,twelveseeingweekswhether the history professor isstimulating, twelve weeks confirming that one is not going to be ableto master calculus."These fragments are meaninglessbecause they are not organized around any central purpose, or visionof the world. The typical liberalarts college has no clearly definedgoals. It merely offers a smorgasbord of courses, in hopes that if astudent nibbles at a few dishes fromthe humanities table, plus a snack ofscience, and a garnish of art or anthropology, he may emerge as "acultivated man"—whatever thatmeans. Except for a few survivingchurch schools, no university evenpretends to have a unifying philosophy. Individual teachers may havepersonal ideologies—but since theyare likely to range, on any givencampus, from Marxism, to worshipof the scientific method, to exaltation of the irrational (a la IMorman 0.Brown), they don't cohere either.They often leave a student convinced at the end of four years that anygiven idea is probably about as validas any other—and that none ofthem has much relationship to theothers, or to the decisions he is going to have to make the day aftergraduation.Education was not always likethat. The earliest European universities had a precise purpose: to trainan elite for the service of the Church.Everything they taught was focusedto that end. Thomas Aquinas hadspelled it all out: what subjects hadto be mastered, how each connected with every other, and whatmeaning they had for man and God.Later, for a span of several centuries, Oxford and Cambridge had anequally clear function: to train administrators to run an empire. Sotoo did Harvard and Yale at the timethey were founded; their job was toproduce the clergymen, lawyers,and doctors that a new countryneeded. In each case, the curriculum was rigidly prescribed. A student learned what he needed, toprepare himself to be a competentpriest, district officer, or a surgeon.He had no doubts about the rele-vance of his courses—and not timeto fret about expanding his consciousness of currying his sensualawareness.This is still true of our professionalschools. I have yet to hear an engineering or medical student complainthat his education is meaningless.Only in the liberal-arts colleges—which boast that "we are not tradeschools"—do the youngsters getthat feeling that they are drowningin a cloud of feathers.New directionFor a long while some of our lesscomplacent academics have beentrying to restore coherence to American education.
