Mr. Swain said local scout troops must raise approximately $1,000 for each of the 24 boys from the North Wa- dean at graduate studiéa at Wilfrid Laurier University, believes Canadian scholars should publish and distri- bute their own books, thus cutting out the middleman and making scholarly works affordable again.

Dr. Wagner said "it is high time the scholars of our country take over scholarly pubiiea- tion, individually, as ttni- versity clusters, " national "We would appreciate if the city would consider par- ticipating in this event by providing assistance of approximately $100 for each of the four boys," Swain said in the letter, pointing out the scouts will be "goodwiU ambassadors of the city". Alderman Hamid Wagner said he was not oppossed to the request for a donation but he did object to the principal involved. "The citizens of Waterloo have already give? 32.5309 to the Federated Appeal." Wagner said, adding he felt an additional request for funds was imposing on their generosity. Swain informed council half of the necessary funds must be received by March 1 to take advantage of charter rates. ' The budget committee is expected to present a recommendation to council on the matter. consortia at societies." with the prices that pub- lishers are asking passing from joke to bad joke and now to no laughing matter, Dr. Wagner said that very few young scholars under- taking to build a significant personal" library will be able to afford to do so. In addition to high cost, delays of several years before pub- lication are common. Many publishers also will not print books of specialized interest that call for only a short press run. 1 Citing experience in Itis own tieid, Dr. Wagner said scholars throughout North America, determined that there must be a better way, have banded together to puts lish numerous monographs and books, often selling them at $2 and $3 a copy, and made a profit for the society. Editing was done by groups of scholars, faculty secretaries assisted in preparing material tlit the printer, and unused corners of university buildings be- came warehouses. Promotion costs are kept low and there are no sales- men. Journals of the various professional societies are used to publicize the volumes and direct mailings based on subscription lists of such publications have been used. Authors act as “I don't care if anyone from Timbuktoo has ever heard of Waterloo," Voelker said. "We've got to look at the costs involved." Alderman Rudy Kominek said if the recent games held in Thunder Bay cost that city about $30,000 then Waterloo should look at a realistic figure of about $40,000 "given the present financial state of the world". {Continued from page 1) while the majority of resi- dents will only be incon, venienced. “It will only cost them money. We have to be sure of the benefits in- volved." Pflug said the benefits would include additional revenue in the community and "a fair bit of publicity for the city". " Pflug said if given a choice he would prefer to host the winter games since the city's facilities would be able to host most of the sports included. “If we host the Winter Games we will have more time to plan and since most ’a D a? i7jiiiiiiififPli iiiieei- (fr') 'lj, mvcnn , including toast beef, cabbage rolls, and bar-b-qued ribs plus trimmings p) mm m "mama" R mvcnn 5:26:23: (')')iijij':ij, Comniittee to investigiiiliii)),_ Served Daily 5 to 7:30 pm.

At last count, ranking scholars in many disciplines from six Canadian universi- ties other than Wilfrid Laur- ier have submitted mamF scripts to WLU Press. Most fall into the "deserve to be published" category. Dr. Wagner said no one seemed keen to actually risk a bobk with a small run despite the fact that subsidies are avail- able. "It is clear that many good books will not other- wise see the light unless establishments such as WLU Press tap the plunge." '_, T . Dr. Wagner ; .

Pflug suggested. adding the City of Cam- bridge is already hosting the summer games for the phy- sically handicapped this year and another event would be too much for the area. “For the Winter Games we have the facili- ties necessary.' ' Suggested sports for the Winter Games include judo, gymnastics, sychronized swimming. hockey. curl- ing, table tennis, basket- bail, wrestling weightlifting. volleyball. boxing. fencing, figure skating, skiing and speed skating. Alderman Robert Henry said the city has excellent facilities and even skiing shouldn't be too great a problem because the level of competition should be easily handled by the Chico- pee Ski Club in Kitchener.

"A much more ambitious program of publication is not impossible." Dr. Wagner said. “Given the production methods available today, the possibilities are vir- tually unlimited. Dr. Wagner suggested that books could be brought to the attention of scholars through some national newsletter such " University Affairs, a magazine read by all protes- sors and graduate students. lit addition, national and re- gional meetings of societies and the pages of journals published by participating societies could be used for advertising.

Pflug advised council if they request to host either of the games the province will closely scrutinize all existing facilities and plans before accepting their bid. He said if the"city were to host the summer games extensive work would have to be done on the softball and baseball diamonds and seating would have to be provided for the rugby and soccer areas. The province has consented to contribute up to $60,000 for the develop- ment of facilities but any additional costs would have to be absorbed by the city. .In a vote to have a com- mittee look into the feasi- bility of hosting either the Winter or Summer Games council was deadlocked.
