One notes; after the recent visit to Canada by Mr. Kosy— gin (returning Mr. Trudeau's previous visit to the U.S.S. Rf) . a growing concern among Canadians that Canada is a- ~bout to sever relationships with the united States and .move into allignment with the Soviet Bloc. This would seem to be patently ridicu- lous. An easing of tensions between Canada and the Sov-

nada is to aesume her right- ful place among the powers of the world.

iet Union (and her sattelite s) appears to be the sole 'reason for these-state visits. This lessening of ‘tensions, and an attempt at

aploser economic co-opera- Ition, would be beneficial ‘to both countries. Perhaps Canada might even move into a position as a neutral -"buffer state” between the conflicting ideologies of the United States and the Soviet Union. This, ofi -oourse. is strictly conjec-

. The phenomenon result- ing from the visit that is most interesting is the hue and outcry now going on over the possible weakening of relationships with the Unit! ted States. Certain MP's of the opposition (notably Heath MacQuarrie. from our own fair isle) have attack- ed Mr. Trideau in a manner to suggest that the impetus for the friendship between Canada and the U.S. descends from on high. They make Mr. Trudeau seem like a heretic to the basic doctrine that Canada and the U.S. must be inseparable. This is not as it should be. Canada should ilook out for Canada. and Ca- nada only: If she should find a better friend across the waters, she should court her. with very little regard to the country to the south.

Canada should stop consider-.

ing herself to be a sattel- ite of the United States.

Former Le Dain Researcher Convicted 0n Hashish Charge.

The Le Dain commission's inquiry into the non-medical use of drugs has converted at least one researcher to the pleasures cf smoking dope.

Dr. Charles Farilo, 53, was fined $100 October 15 by an Ottawa court, after pleading guilty to illegal possession of hashish. Dr. Farmilo is a former research Scientist for the Le Dain commission. ,

Farmilo was suspended from commission work by chairman Gerald Le Dain in August, immediately after the charge was laid.

His lawyer told the pro- vincial court that Farilo §§9;p;epsting a test as drug abuse, and that his use of hashish was for research.

The court argued that this was not an excuse for illegal possession of the drug, and rejected Farmilo's declaraté ion that his drug usage was directly related to the Le Dain commission's research.

"Not only have you done a great disservice to yourself," Farmilo was told by judge Thomas Swabey, "but you have done a greater disservice

. also to every scientific pro-

ject you have been involved in." r . ., .fl‘

In 1972, if I found myself involved in such a no-exit program of studies, or if I' were graduating from fields of studies that are disaster areas as far as employ- ment upon graduation is concerned, I would start planning alternative occupa- tions and courses of action that would - provide relevance AND meat on the table. I’d also have one hell of a close look at that word “relevance” while I was at it! p

I 'And I would remember that what Mark Twain said about whiskey applies abso-

lutely to career preparations: “Too much is just enough”. '

Attitude is all_- or nearly all — in this gut-issue scene. Willingness to start at a junior level, to accept “entry positions” and to have what Henry Miller dubbed “the smile at the foot of the ladder” are essential if you are .to plug into the system. Self-actualization by . working within the system to effect change is psychic income for literally thousands of recent graduates who are unhappy with what Miller termed “the air-conditioned nightmare” we live in.

May I take full advantage of this ego ‘trip and quote Garber’s Law: “Once the [cuckoo is on to itself it is already half-way out of the clock”. Start levelling with yourself. Define some goals. Attempt to order your priorities and. remember Thoreau’s beautiful dictum: "‘If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they

should be. Now put the foundations

under them”. Your attitude now — and

' your actions between now and graduation

are the foundations of your future career.

I have read a great deal about your

search for your identity and your destiny.

I am involved only in your search for

employment. My years in the Canada

Manpower Placement Office at Mohawk

. College have given me some insights into

your employment problems. The time

and effort of ‘ students, faculty and

placement staff over the years has evolved

a “Job Strategy” program in effect at

Mohawk College now which I hope to

bring to you in future issues at CAMPUS.~

I believe this program will assist you to

find a job — AND — in some cases — enable a job to find you.

Mary Mary quite contrary,

How does your garden grow.

With silver bells and cookie shells,

and a great big dandelion in the middle.
