UNIVERSITY OF TORONTO ENGINEERING SOCIETY CONTENTS Events 5 Skule Sports 27 Groups 43 Class of 8T0 75 Messages 94 Skule 8T0 was published by National School Ser- vices for the Engineering Society of the University of Toronto. Type was set in Souvenir through the facilities of the newspaper. The Book of Skule logo was designed by Steve Roberts. All original material copyright April 1980, University of Toronto Engineering Society. This book contains not one penguin nor moose. Skule 8T0 is another in the line of Skule produc- tions. “We are all at school to learn. It is important, therefore, that we don’t allow our studies to stand in the way of our education.’ This Book of Skule is dedicated to everyone who has attended an Engineering Society meeting, or participated in a Toike or Cannon make-up, or who has smashed the cymbals for the LGMB, or wielded a paint brush on a BFC Caper (a what?), or tried out for a Skule interfaculty team. It is these people who are the keepers of Skule spirit, and their interest and involvement not only make this book possible, but make it necessary. EVENTS ORIENTATION On Orientation Day, this year’s Flrosh participated in all the rituals. Some got an early taste of BFC capers by removing the chairs from Med. Sci. cafe- teria. Quite unlike normal Flrosh, they almost did it right. In the afternoon, Godiva and the Bnad led the way to SAC, and a SAC attack ended in a Flrosh coat of Blue and Gold for the dome. The timid Flrosh had to be taught how to play in Queen’s Park traffic, 6 and the Pro. Nuclear Anti-Protest was a bit of a bust when Uncle Bill wasn’t home. The day ended with free beer and Nurses at the Flrosh Pub. The next night was for Nurs wetting, and at the end of the week the Flrosh modelled newly decorated hard hats at the Engineering Roamaround Pub. This year’s scavenger hunt was won by the Bnad, the Flrosh again proving their latent inability to bribe. What are these people taught in High School anyway? HART HOUSE FARM Perhaps still feeling courageous after the previous Friday’s Roamaround, the Flrosh had the audacity to try to throw the Bnad members in the pond. Once shown the error of their ways, they settled down and satisfied themselves by throwing Toike Editor Bob Moult in instead. 8 ! ' SHINERAMA The Bnad had a great time on Yonge Street, picking up an Eaton Centre mouse, and the CF Foundation raised lots of bucks in this year’s Shinerama. The special Shinerama verse to Godiva tells the story: Every year en masse the Engineers take to the street, To show that Skulemen give a damn and aid CF’s defeat With customary gusto and teamed with a Nurs, of course They raise the bucks by shining shoes with spirited BRUTE FORCE. 9 The Eng. Soc. Car Rally Trophy CAR RALLY The winners, Simon Monk and Carolyn Sidey s , , ' ' e - ' h Their winning ways 10 E.S.A.F.A.T. RALLY Engineering Students Against Feminists Against Toike DtPUTY This fall, engineering students and Toike Oike staff members concer- ned with protests from feminists across campus about the content of the Toike formed ESAFAT, Engineering Students Against Feminists Against the Toike. The purpose of the organisation was to defend the Toike and present the view that the publication is neither sexist nor racist, and is intended only as good-natured fun. To fur- ther this view, an ESAFAT Rally was held at Sid Smith. Toike Editor Bob Moult addressed the crowd and defended his paper. There were no confrontations, although a poor pamphlet did get burned, and it was reported that a good time was held by all. BRUTE FORCE COMMITTEE SLAVE AUCTIONS 15 16 This year’s Cannonball was quite an enjoyable evening. In the Great Hall, the Nova Sounds provided the dance music while upstairs in the Music Room guests were treated to the talents of a band featuring our very own Ella and past- Engineering Society President RobYates. Linda Karuks, Civil 8T3, was chosen Miss Cannonball, in close competition. This year’s Inter-Course Competition theme was Alternate Energy Sources, and Electrical won with their Friction Power entry. The Bnad made its requisite appearance, as did the Cannon. This time, with a touch of tradition, the Cannon- guard included at least some women. 17 THE CHARIOT RACE Mario’s Triumphant Return Only four chariots competed this year because of clement weather conditions. The lack of snow made the ground uninvitingly hard and only those of lesser intelligence completed - namely Eng. Sci., Flrosh, Mech., and Electrical. Only days before the race, it was discovered that Mario (of Mario’s Bakery, Newark N.J.) had recovered the famed Jerry P. Potts Memorial Trophy and was willing to return it to Skule if three demands could be met. Fortunately, Eng. Soc. was able to donate $1000 to a children’s charity, amend the Race rules to prevent another trophy theft, and add a commemorative verse to Godiva before race time and the trophy was returned. As a special gift, Mario also donated a new flag to the Society. After a false start, the real race got underway. Mech. was first over the line, capturing their fifth win in six years. Flrosh managed to become innocuous enough to finish the race and place second. Two women bystanders were injured in the racer’s enthusiasm, including Linda Karuks who had been crowned Miss Cannonball only six days earlier. This year, Skule Nite rolled into Hart House Theatre after seven gruelling weeks of rehearsal. With an initial cast of thousands, which dwindled rapidly to twenty-eight, and a sheaf of dynamite scripts, rehearsals for the show began. Obstacles were surmounted and the show opened February 27 . 20 Audiences were treated to a myriad of bizarre scenes and characters: martians, Fred Mertz the fairy godmother, a disco, test-tube babies, the Nutcracker Sweat, Middle-East Side Story, lovable genetic mutants, and a whole slew of assorted Hollywood characters. Sold-out houses were reliably enthusiastic every night (once rambunctiously so) and when it ultimately ended, Skule Nite 8T0 had become the success that everyone thought it would be. After all, why should this year be any different? The legend continues. 21 Onstage photos by Mike Garamszeghy 22 THE WRECK OF THE SIR SANFORD FLEMING The legend lives on from King’s College on down, Of the briquette they call Sandford Fleming. The place, it is said, became one of the dead, When Room 126 was a’flaming. With computers in store, several thousand times more Students’ names and their marks could be kept there. The maintenance crew was a bone to be chewed, For not once had a janitor swept there . The place was a sty, and the home of Eng Sci, Which somehow avoided the fire checks. As old buildings go, it was older than most, It was older than even the Annex. In spite of cold spells, it was hotter than Hell, Though the temperature soon would get higher. And later that night, when the fire bells rang out, Could it be that the place was on fire? The smoke and the flames made a tattletale sign, As the cruel wind gave fuel to the tinder. And everyone knew that an Update was due, And Sir Sandord would soon be a cinder. But the warnings came late, and this sealed the fate Of the biggest of all Eng Sci smokers. The firemen they came and they prayed for some rain, They thought it the work of some jokers. . . When two o’clock came, many men were on hand, In an effort to save all the tape reels. By 3:30 A. M. the whole roof had caved in, And eight men were hurt in the ordeal. Then Galbraith wired in, she had water coming in And the basement was practically swimming. And later that day, all anybody would say, ‘See the wreck of the Sir Sandford Fleming?’ Does anyone know where the love of God goes, When the flames turn the theses to powder? The fireman say it would still have decayed In five years if the flames hadn’t got her. Well, it might have decayed if it hadn’t burned down, But it surely did take on some water. And all that remained was the sign with the name, And even that was starting to totter. The damages rise, while Sir Sandford dies, And the EUT goes underwater. Oh, estimates soar, ten million and more, The 370 just missed being solder. But classes did go, as the engineers know, As if the blaze never had started. And the people did stare at the shell standing there, Remains of an era departed. In old Simcoe Hall, in the Council they said, ‘We’ll just start to rebuild us another. If something remains, and it can be reclaimed, It will carry the name of its father.’ The legend lives on from King’s College on down, Of the briquette they called Sandford Fleming, The place, it was said, became one of the dead When Room 126 was a ’flaming. 23 The Many Faces of Skule 25 York and you . . . shaping the future!

At this writing, the season is not yet over but it appears that every team will make play-offs. X. 28 Ip I If Eng. A makes the play-off round, they will go all the way to the Division 1 crown. The games they’ve lost so far, they were playing short-handed. Even then they gave the competition a run for their money. Eng. B finished the regular season with a perfect record. Nobody is going to stop them from taking the Division II title. Eng. C, with one game to play in the regular season, has a guarateed play-off position and are championship favourites in their division. The fourth team, Eng. D, had a near-perfect regular season record, and are sure to see play-off action. If their coach shows up, if they get a good ref., and if their opponents don’t play very well they will win the Division IV title — a sweep for Skule. 29 MEN’S BASKETBALL JUNIOR TEAM SENIOR TEAM This year’s senior team is once again dominating the interfaculty basketball league. The team has been in first place since Game One and is destined for playoff action. It has been invited to represent UofT at an interfaculty tournament in Waterloo, and one a York. Certainly, with its inspired play and teamwork, the team will make a strong bid for the interfac. basketball champion- ship. 30 HOCKEY JUNIOR TEAM The Junior Skule hockey team had another big year, with almost all of last year’s squad returning. Two strong veteran forward lines led the team. Centre Clint Young, flanked by Rob Wilkes and Ken Baker, and Marc Hamel aided by Bob Gomm and Sean Griffin. To add scoring punch, a new line was added including rookies Frank Giannone and Jim Kenkel and veteran Steve Ainsley. A formidable defence was provided by Scott McMillan, John Cocchio, Paul Cahill and Glen MacDonald. Import goaltender Mark Hitchcox backed up the team. Kirk Nesbitt was behind the bench again this year, melding a strong unit. Hr k j m • i . M- ' ■ ' J t mx ■ - - r SENIOR TEAM Once again, Skule managed to form a collection of unruly characters and call them a hockey team. On defense were seasoned veterans Bob MacKenzie and our “Little Guy” Ozzie Luters. This pair coupled with Ken “Break-a-Leg” Brown, and John “The Invisible Man” Farmer to form Skule’s solid defence. Behind the defense was four year veteran Kirk (formerly “The Sieve”) Nesbitt who managed to pull his act together for a very strong season. The team’s strongest asset was the forwards: Kevin Stevenson, Jim Alton, and A1 Shetler. Our “Froggie” John Halpin returned and even helped our cause at times. We got help from high talent rookies Mike Crennan, and Angie Dominski. Great inspiration was received from the play of John Milloy and all-star Randy Lesco. Last, but certainly not least, our four year vet. Roy Gibson, whose superb play could only be stopped by the referee. Assembling this riff-raff into a team was coach and spiritual leader Scott Gibson. 31 With the opening of the new Athletic Centre making more courts available, Skule squash teams again showed the other faculties the true meaning of Skule Spirit. Heading into the final week of play, Engineering was virtually assured of a play-off position in each division, and stood a good chance of capturing a crown. Skule has wasted no time in initiating those new courts, with cries of “How could 1 miss that?” filling the air. A solid core of returnees promises a good future. SOCCER Participation in this year’s soccer team was definitely the best in years. Compared to eleven players last year, there were fifty this year, and two teams were entered. The record would indicate the teams were blown off the field, but the scores were close and many games could have gone either way. Next year should be more suc- cessful, when the team has a chance to build on this year’s nucleus. BROOMBALL Engineering revived its Broomball team for the first time in four years with a six-and-one season. The teams powerhouse punch came from its four female felines; Karen Shigeishi, Carolyne Simons, Bar-Bar Reuber and Anna Puskas, who would stop at nothing short of a black eye to take someone out of the play. Playing the back-up role were Fern Melo, Bob MacKenzie, Jim Alton, and Scott Gibson. The true superstars were Kirk Nesbitt and Roy Gibson. U ' S ' CO no s.

Champions Engineering Track Field Due to the effort of the 40 member track team, it was possible to sweep top honours in this year’s Interfaculty track meet. Despite the adverse weather conditions, Skule was able to amass a total of 191 pts. to more than triple the impotent 57 pt. finish of the 2nd place Jocks. The massive strength in the javelin and relay events carried the bulk of the load necessary to overrun any outside competition. Special thanks to Tim Piper and Mark Janischewskyj for their wins in the 5000 m. and 200 m. respectively. Also, thanks to Civil 8T1 are in order, as they contributed the largest class turnout. I LACROSSE Interfac. Champions This was a banner year for the engineering lacrosse team. They avenged last years’ loss in the finals by sweeping this year’s best-of-three finals in two games. The two wins, by scores of 12-5 and 12-8, gave our squad the Division II crown for the first time in memory. This year’s team had the right blend of youth and experience. Veterans Dale McNeil and Steve Cooper led the attack while Dan Shanahan, Mark Gray, and Peter Nicol anchored the defence. Whenever the steady Dave Neale was not in goal the versatile Stan Kolenko was ready to take his place. The year saw the development of depth on the engineering team. Joey Halpert blossomed into a genuine sniper while newcomers Tim Pratt, Julian Hunter, and Brett Calder added some needed scoring punch. Things look good for next year as only McNeil, Nicol, and Kolenko will be graduating. Congratulations on a job well done. 35 INNER-TUBE WATERPOLO Skule is relatively new to the sport of innertube water- polo. This game requires strength, co-ordination and bouyancy and enough talent was assembled to finish with a 0.500 record. While this was very good, it was not good enough to make playoff competition. Next year, however, with a core of talented veterans, Skule looks to be a real league superpower. 36 I WOMEN’S VOLLEYBALL A record number of women came out for volleyball this year— so many, in fact, that two teams had to be formed. Both teams are playing in the Recreational division where Engineering is defending champion (for the last three years) . At this writing the season isn’t over yet, but we’re sure this year won’t be an exception. Many thanks to the coaches, who probably outnumber the players. 37 WOMEN’S INTERFAC. B CHAMPIONS Karen Ramsauer, June Li, Bob Montgomery, Jeanne Young Audrey Mascarenhas, Anita Bertol, Pat Lepper, Elaine Morans Diane Kapica, Kathy Dumanski, Dale Kerr, Kino The women’s basketball team successfully defended the championship, with an undefeated season. The team started slowly, but worked hard with the help of coach Bob Montgomery and reached the point where they could completely control the championship game, proving once again that Skule Rules AIL Congratulations girls! 38 wm. WOMEN’S TOUCH FOOTBALL Front Row, 1 to r: Audrey Mascarenhas, Gia Antonacci, Dale Kerr, Sharon Jacobs, Aki Shimitsu, Laurie Hilbig, April Kono, Diane McCurdy Back Row: Kevin Burns, Pat Lepper, Linda Karuks, Anita Bertol, Jodi Diamant, Elizabeth Zurowski, Anne Paravano, Craig Beattie, Noreen Calderbank, Angela Valvasori, Karen Shigeishi, Wendy Kinoshita, Carmen Lombardi This was the first year that Engineering has had a women’s touch football team. A large number of girls signed up, and all enjoyed playing. The team improved so much over the season that the last game actually ended in a tie! Next year, they’ll have more experience so, watch out. 39 WOMEN’S HOCKEY This year’s Skule hockey team managed a first place finish! (If you turn the standings upside-down) The team had a little trouble finding its skating legs until late in the season. Perhaps they will fare better this spring when they travel to Queen’s for a tournament of women’s engineering teams. It would be nice to finish the season on a winning note, for a change. The coaches are to be congratulated for the efforts and dedication.

Mike Rzadkowski Flirst Year President FfIRST YEAR COMMITTEE figisi WOMEN IN ENGINEERING 46 PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE 1 to r: Nancy Brown, Stephen Landsberg, Dana Stankus, Brian Baetz. Early in January, the members of the Professional Development Committee were in Edmonton to attend the 12th Annual Congress of Canadian Engineering Students. The theme of this year’s congress was “The Engineer and the Corporate System” and the programme included a number of speakers from industry pointing out the possibilities for the career development of an engineer after university. Opportunities in consulting, management, research and government were discussed. While in Edmonton, committee members toured a Stelco plant, the city’s water treatment facility and took side trips to the Syncrude project in Fort McMurry, and an open-pit coal mine in Wabumum. Next year’s conference will be hosted by Queen’s University in Kingston and its topic is “Engineers in a Government Environment.” 48 ! THE ENGINEERING STORES The Engineering Stores offers all the necessities of life at Skule, and at bargain basement prices. For example, an earnest Skuleman can buy or rent a Mattel electronic game, purchase Engineering T- shirts and Eng. Soc. stickers at the Stores. Also available are the little extras, the frivolities like Staedtler equipment, laboratory report covers, problem paper, and First Year texts at cost. June, the ever smiling manageress, or one of her capable assistants, is on duty from 8:30 a.m. to 4:15 p.m. every weekday to serve you. If you’re not using the Stores, you’re paying for it. Also busy everyday in the Eng. Soc. office is Ella the secretary. Squirreled away in her little office, she’s the glue that holds the Eng. Soc. together and keeps it moving. 49 CHEMICAL CLUB The graduates of 1980 are the first of the second century of Chemical Engineering and Applied Chemistry at the University of Toronto. We know that you will be just as successful as those who have graduated in the past in following careers which will be both challenging and carry much responsibility. You are particularly fortunate to be graduating at a time of intensive activity in the Canadian chemical industry, which is to a large extent, influenced by development of petro-chemical resources in the West. Congratulations, Best Wishes - and keep in touch! M.E. Charles Professor and Chairman Department of Chemical Engineering and Applied Chemistry Chemical Engineering life begins in the humble surroundings of the lab, and as the young chemical engineer soon learns, it is destined to remain there. Working eagerly(?) in a smokey, odour-filled organic lab, among mazes of polypropylene tubing, life is occasionally created - but mostly destroyed. Labs dominate the chemical engineering scene and 5:00 p.m. lab report deadlines are easily met (most of the time, anyway) . With the beginning of 3rd year, the labs take on industrial proportions, and real-life applications. Sophisticated aparatii, requiring dedicated and delicate control, are a pleasant transition as the young chemical engineer masters the art of his profession. Witness the eager and efficient crew as they offer a supreme sacrifice for science in order to obtain vital data concerning the batch distillation of C 2 H 5 OH. One will better understand the unorthodox lab techniques utilized by the young chemical engineer by observing the teaching styles of the illustrious chemical engineering staff. However, life for the chemical engineer is not all work. He makes time for such varied activities as chariot races, smokers, dinners, and dances. Whether on the combat field, in a luxurious common room, or at a posh dinner - dance at the Old Mill, the young chemical engineer is equally at home. All in all, one trait of the department becomes readily apparent: chemical engineering ages you far too quickly. Wm. Mandolidis Chemical Club Chairman 51 t � We tried something different this year. The Civil Club held a first and second year smoker, the main purpose being to check out the female frosh: keep up the good work Gary. Other events included a brewery tour, a Pickering Power Plant tour, a careers nite, a hockey tournament and, the greatest party of them all, the Civil Dinner. Civil proved once again its’ superiority this year by winning the Miss Cannonball Contest. We had a great entry for the Intercourse Competition too but irregularities in the voting procedure prevented us from winning (i.e. they wouldn’t let us stuff the ballot box). Grad Ball was a great party as well. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the rest of the executive, Dexter, Am, Renzo, Martin, Lucille, Rick and Gabe. I would also like to thank the Faculty and staff for their support throughout the year, especially our chairman, Dr. Heinke. Best of Luck Brian Doherty Chairman 53 ELECTRICAL CLUB 55 ENGINEERING SCIENCE CLUB It is the manifest destiny of you of Engineering Science to lead your less favoured fellow engineers onward and upward toward the higher realms of thought and achievement which are reserved for the elite. Help them, for they need you desperately as they struggle in their confusion and ignorance. Nor must you allow your modesty nor their adoration to divert you from your stern duty to instruct them and to correct their commendable efforts. Lead on! Greater glory awaits. Prof. F. C. Hooper Chairman Engineering Science GEOLOGICAL CLUB 59 INDUSTRIAL CLUB 60 61 63 METALLURGY CLUB 64 The Metallurgical Club had yet another fantastic year! Events such as the smokers Christmas party and the Club Dinner were all well attended and enjoyed. There is not much question that per capita, Metallurgy outdoes all other disciplines in sport activities, Engineering Society duties and other social events. The famous annual Metallurgy field trip went true to form this year as we went to la ville de Montreal. Unfortunately, no one remembers exactly what happened on the trip - but the bus driver said we had a good time! By the way, we left Quebec numerous ‘hot meals’ as a token of our appreciation and as a result of their $2.50 drinks. It has been rumoured that next year Metallurgy will be going to Tehran to spend Christmas with the Ayatollah and the boys. I 65 A book such as Skule 8T0 is not the product of a spontaneous generation. A number of people worked very hard with me to produce this record of Skule events. 1 want to thank them both. First and foremost, a million personal “thank you”s to Steve Roberts, the vital creative and artistic influence. 1 could have done it without you, Steve, but the results wouldn’t have been worth the effort. There are people who promise you one thing, and either deliver something else or nothing at all. Then there are people like Randy Sinukoff who promise you little, but always surprise you by delivering a lot. I’m grateful, Randy, for the way you did your work. My appreciation to Allison Ho Sang, Joe Singer, Harvey Dupras, Dave Chow, and June Li for their help with the Grads. Thanks to Ella for her smiling face, to the Bnad for the distractions, and to Eric for being a constant pillar of parched wit. Belated thanks to Ried Eddy for the Skule 7T9 logo. Thanks to Mike Spencer for effecting a perfect transformation from Super-Salesman to Disco- Salesman in two short years. To everyone who submitted desperately needed material days after they promised it, a curse on all your houses. Ule!

This made the Mike mad so we had no choice but to get our good friend John Sewell to say a few words in our defence. Later on we entertained the Alumni at the Triennial Din- ner. October became Engineer’s harmony month when we showed the Waterloo Hard Hat Plumbers’ Band how it’s done. They came here in January for a brush-up course. As usual, the Bnad helped the TTC in their ceremonies by inaugurating the new streetcars. They must have been ex- pecting us as the back of the new cars have semi-circular seating; ideal for a Bnad. 70 The Bnad provided relief for the enormous Psych. 100 class in Con Hall. One girl was so overcome with emotion at our appearance that she had to come down and personally tell us how great we were. The year included its share of demonstrations. We helped deliver the message of the Toike in Sid Smith Hall and channel 9 broadcast, on national television, the fact that “we like Cornflakes.” Next year we plan to continue in the same vein (Red Cross beware) .

On appropriate occasions I will again proudly wear the ceremonial hard hat. I would also like to congratulate the members of the Engineering Society Executive for conducting student affairs throughout the year with good management, good judgment and good humour. This Faculty sets out to graduate a large proportion of the professional and industrial leaders of tomorrow. A large part of the credit for achieving that objective goes to the student organizations of the Faculty which so enrich our lives together by creating a sense of community and shared purpose. This is a good time to be a graduating engineer. The needs of society for competent creative engineering have never been greater. The recognition of society that innovative engineering is central to the solution of many of its problems is steadily growing. As you enter the next phase in your career, I wish you continued success in your endeavours. May you frequently experience the exhilaration of professional accomplishment. In the years to come, I hope that you will retain a close contact with the Faculty through the Alumni, through continuing education programs and by frequent visits to your engineering home. Gordon R. Slemon Dean 94 ENGINEERING SOCIETY PRESIDENT GARY JONES The year has been an active one. Orientation once again served to reduce the Frosh’s sense of panic when initially confronted with the engineering programme. The Skule year has seen the Toike receive the publicity and literary recognition it deserves. The LGMB has taken its rightful place as the official band of the university and is now the quadruple prize-winning band. Under our stores manager, Bryan Gould, the Stores have greatly increased sales and are looking forward to expanding into new markets. We have taken positive steps to improve the on-campus recruitment program for engineers. A lot more work is needed in this vital area to ensure our engineers get summer work experience that will allow them to apply their engineering. All the social, sporting and humourous events of the Skule year are recorded in the pages of Skule 8T0. It’s the work of talented Skulemen who can take satisfaction in a job well done. To the class of 8T0 this year marks the end of four years of lectures, labs and exams. For the undergraduate it is the time to develop the ability to deal with people as well academics. In the complex role of a professional engineer, skills in solving people-related problems are as necessary as the skills needed in solving technical problems. As undergraduates mistakes, you make in your dealings with people are not critical. These opportunities for making mistakes and learning from them won’t be present when people are depending on you for reliable technical solutions to their problems. How do you develop these interpersonal skills? You make friends. You pa. ticipate in the sports and extracurricular activities provided by this faculty. In other words you provide yourself with the opportunities for developing the ability to deal with people. Seize these opportunities: they are a necessary part of the training of a professional engineer. President 95 SKULE EDITOR JOHN VOSS Engineers are famous for being the true keepers of Skule Spirit. Years of inventive Brute Force Committee capers and LGMB concerts have seen to that. While the rest of the university shrivels and crawls into a cocoon of apathetic complacency, Skule remains the last bastion of interest and involvement at the University of Toronto. Or does it? If you’ve looked through this book, a chronicle of Skule events, you may have noticed that a lot of the faces keep popping up again and again. I’ve come to the con- clusion that of the twenty-five hundred engineers here, only fifty or so can truthfully boast of having Skule Spirit. Skule Spirit goes beyond demolishing forty beers and it is true spirit that is missing these days. The Toike Oike used to amuse and entertain its readers but for the last few years it has only aimed to shock them. The Cannon can’t realise its true potential because not enough people are interested enough to get involved. This is the first year in the last three that we have enjoyed Engineering Society elections rather than ac- clamations. Can anyone name a major BFC caper this year? Those people who have Skule spirit are the Bnad members, and I mean the ones at the hockey games not just the Slave Auctions. They are the players on Skule’s many successful athletic teams, and the people directing the Engineering Society. Hart House is practically run by Engineers. Skule Spirit involves putting something into Skule, not just taking things out. I remain convinced that this Faculty is the finest school of engineering in the country and I don’t doubt that as graduates we will be able to fulfill our professional obligations skillfully. But “Skillfully and Vigorously” is our mottoand vigour and pride in an ac- complishment are what Skule Spirit is all about. Skule 8T0 Published by Josten ' s National School Services Ltd.
