Such improvements as have been primarily in the fields of new materials and better man- agement techniques. Dr. T. C. Kenney, chairman of the university's civil engineer- ing department from which the centre originated, emphasizes that there is nothing intrinsically new about the systems approach to contemporary problems. A brief, addressed to such bod- ies as the federal department of industry, Central Mortgage and Housing Corp., and the Ontario Housing Corp., says that the idea for the centre evolved from con- sideration of the following facts: The cost of building, in partic- ular housing. in some major ur- ban centres such 'iss Metropolitan Toronto is very high and contin- ues to rise. T The population arid urbanization in Canada and the world as a whole is expected to double, at least, in the next 30 years, re- quiring the construction of at least as many new buildings as exist today. A large number of existing buildings will become progres- sively inadequate and will re- quire. during the next 30 years, replacement or reconstruction. The brief points out that ad- vances of the building industry h a v e been disproportionately small, compared with advances in the manufacturing and aero- space industries. It has been used Widely in such Industries as the automotive in- dustry to ensure that no part of a given problem is planned and developed in isolation. "The Americans could never have put man on the moon unless all systems were go," he says. “If they had run the nrogram the way we plan and construct homes, Project Apollo would have been I dismal failure." Initially, the centre will com- prise a staff ’of five professors and five graduate students and will include a secretariat. a refer. ence library and an information centre. The chairman of the Systems Building Centre is Prof. M. W. Huggins, a civil engineer. Centre members claim that the application of the system ap- proach will result in very sub. stantial savings to the construc- tion industry which accounts for approximately 20 percent of the gross national product. The systems approach could also reduce construction time and produce far better and more ef- ficient homes. sanction at new homes in Cm- da, 3 group of University of Tor- onto engineering professors have established a Systems Building Centre that will study all aspects of the process of planning and comm ing homes and other buildings. Their aim will be to call upon the-knowledge of all relevant de- partment: of the university and of industry at large to arrive at a coordinated approach. "The curse of the construction industry at present is fragmen- tation," says Dr. James Ham, dean of the faculty of applied mience and engineering'. In Europe, since the Second L of T. plans new deal for housing The first problem facing the club this year is the appointment of a new coach, filling a vacancy created by the resignation of Doug Ashley at the conclusion of last season. At tt recent meeting, the fol- lowing directors were appointed: Terry Pym, Charles Foster. Don Kelly. Al Mason,, Basil Milton, Laverne Reichert,. Lloyd Steffler and Hugh Tanner. Financially, the club is making slow but sure progress with the staggering debt incurred five years ago. Each of the last four years has shown a modest pro- fit which was assigned to credi- tors on a percentage basis. Officials are particularly proud of the fact that they have main- tained a competitive team while holding the total expenses to ap- proximately $5,500 each year. Some of the other B clubs with which they compete, operate on budgets of over $15,000 and in- curred deficits exceeding $10,000. Club officials believe an ama- teur team can and should com- pete at Junior B level. They base this on past performances by the team. Two or three prospects are be- ing considered. A final decision It is now 34 years since the OHA Junior B franchise was awarded to Waterloo and the Sia. kina are preparing for yet another year of competitive hockey. Officers this year are George Huntley, president; John Shilling- ton, vice-president; Doug Fitz- gerald, secretary; Bill Dolby, treasurer and Bill Baker, past president. duced to as little as " days ex~ elusive of the time required for foundations and basement.

House components and groups of components have been fabricated in factories and assembled on site.
