Pakistani u students Power by Phillip Slayton Phillip Slayton is fourth year honors Politi Cal science student at the University of Manitoba. He is a member of the. Canadian delegation at the world University ser vice seminar in Pakistan Karachi Pakistan Spe Cial for the Canadian Stu dents one of the most vital experiences of the wus sem Inar in Pakistan has been the close association with pakis Tani students. This association has involved the confrontation of two Basic and different ways of student life and types of student Outlook on life in general. The reaction of these differences upon each other has been varied and Complex. Inevitably the student population of any country Indi Cates and reflects much of the social Structure of that country. The student Popula Tion of Canada is varied and representative it reflects a Mobile class Structure and numerous opportunities for every citizen. The situation is very different in Pakistan. Young Canada by Jack Hutton a Young Friend asked to speak to a local service club the other Day Rose uncertainly and began thank you or. Ceremony. The adults in the audience tried bravely not to laugh. And the unhappy Young Ora Tor realized that he had been thinking of or. Chairman and master of ceremonies at the same time. What an he moaned later. But that s the last time. You la never catch me standing up in front of More than three people the president of the club happened to be wandering by when he heard this. Did you really think you he asked. Listen. I was so Ner Vous the first time i spoke in Public that i could t All i could do was croak something about ladies and gentlemen then i froze. And they had to wait until the end of the program to let me thaw out unnerving As it was at the time the experience turned out happily for the budding orator. He has now agreed to talk to two More groups. And it does t worry him that he might be nervous. One of the most valuable lessons any teenager can Leam is that it is easier than most people realize to speak in Public. And it s an asset Worth its weight in Gold later. What is the secret of learn ing to speak in Public Well someone has compared it to Riding a bicycle. You keep getting on until you Don t fall off anymore. Would be worthwhile he Rea sons. Therefore everyone in the audience is on his Side. Why not if you Haven t Al George Bernard Shaw the ready started look for a late Irish playwright began by joining a debating society. And according to him he stumbled All Over himself the first time he spoke. But he overcame All that How do you get started believe it or not most Cana Dian High schools Are the perfect training ground. You can find a wealth of experience in your clubs student councils or societies. First time the first time that one gets up is always a bit unsettling. Suddenly you realize that every face in the room is look ing at you. Why in the world did you let yourself get into this position this is the moment that you reach the invisible Barrier. And if you pass it once you la never look Back. Everyone has a slightly different trick for relaxing but my advice is to take a look around the room. A Friend of mine who has been speaking in Public for years tells me that he always looks around and says to him self what a gathering of he immediately feels Superior relaxes and goes on with his talk. Another Friend uses the opposite trick. No one would waste an evening coming to listen to someone unless they expected and hoped that it Camp music and summer by Janet Kask mount Orford q u e.

He did t realize it but he was just handing Ca Nadian Post office authorities a real problem. The problem was that akan in addressed his envelope Canadian daily newspaper an apprentice at Stratford Stratford ont up pretty Bridget Blackwell at 16 a 10-year Veteran of the theatre is marking the decent nary this summer by working As an apprentice at the Strat Ford shakespearean festival Bridget a Grade 12 High school Pupil in nearby London began her career at the age of six in a lond by children s theatre production of cinder Ella. This summer she has walk on parts in All four festival plays and in Between is work ing in the property and Ward Robe departments of the Strat Ford theatre. Apart from acting in Juven Ile theatrical productions around London she has appeared in a Hometown version of South Pacific and in five Finger exercise. Two years ago she appeared with the Straw hat players at port Carling and in Peter Borough. Landing the apprenticeship at Stratford Bridget got special permission to skip her final examinations at school on the basis of first class Marks at easter in order to join rehearsals Here. Puts school first but otherwise Bridget is determined not to allow her love of the theatre to Cut Short her formal education. She Hopes to go to University. Bridget who also studies music and dancing says that despite her theatrical experience she was a Little bit Over awed and afraid at first in Stratford., but now that she has set tied Down she enjoys the experience and the excitement. The directors Are Brilliant and the actors Are so fast to catch she says. The Speed of it All really amazes Canada . Apart from the fact that we Haven t yet joined the ., his address was still rather vague. The first reaction of the authorities was to return the letter. But on second thought they sent it to the Canadian daily newspaper publishers association. Two Days later i opened my mail and found Akanni s Mes Sage had been rerouted to me. It took six but Akanni s letter finally found a Home after travelling around the Globe. He writes i am a niger with Blue eyes and dark hair and about five feet six inches tall my hobbies Are football ing swimming table Tennis and learning the history of the Here the extreme division be tween Rich and poor and a rigid class Structure results in a student population drawn almost solely from the pakis Tani elite. In Pakistan the upper classes occupy a very Superior social position and solicit from the lower classes a de Gree of respect unknown in Western countries. The resulting attitude manifests it self within the student popu lation it is conscious of the Superior social class from which it comes. Within Pakistan University students As a group exercise considerable social and Politi Cal Power. In sity students Are regarded More As part of the country s potential than As already act Ive members of the Community. They Are not As involved in or concerned with politics their primary function is study rather than participation. Often in Pakistan study is sacrificed for the Sake of the participation largely unknown to Canadian University students. Participation Active participation by pakistani students in their coun try s affairs usually takes the form of protest a phenomenon known to some degree in almost every University Community. This protest takes the form of mass demonstrations and student strikes. It habitually follows the country s political mood rather than influencing it. Anti americanism due to american Aid to India is at the moment the prime motivation behind student politics. In Pakistan As in most underdeveloped countries the views of the students Are superficially at least Given considerable weight by the pow ers that be largely because the Yare stimulated and encouraged by those same pow ers. The Superior social position of pakistani students results from their family social Posi Tion and their political Posi Tion enhanced by the extreme split Between poverty and wealth which exists in the country. The net result of these trends is to make Stu dents in Pakistan a distinct and significant social group the considered Superior press Survey position of this social group and the group s recognition of t manifests itself in the Atti tude of students towards the authorities of their universities. Student strikes and demonstrations Are frequently directed against those authorities in attempts to implement student viewpoint. A difficult exam often results in a Stu Dent walk out. Demonstrations Are frequently held in order for example to lower the pass Mark on exams which at the moment fluctuates around 40 per cent. Such demonstrations Are planned by superficially innocuous student organizations which inevitably Are politically oriented. The position and attitude of University students in pakis Tan is a reflection of the state of that country. The reactions of the Canadian students to their academic counterparts is thus bound up in their total reaction to the country As a whole. Generally speaking pakis Tan was initially considered from a sympathetic and even idealistic viewpoint. To a Large extent disillusion ment has produced a much More realistic approach. It has1 become possible to appreciate the differences and jealousies which Divide nations and the relative maturity of different parts of the world. The Canadian delegates to the wus seminar have As a re sult of their close association with the pakistani student Community developed a re Spect for their own Community and Way of life. It is less colourful but most feel Cap Able of producing More beneficial results and a Superior intellectual product. At the same time confrontation with a different Type of student Community has developed in the Canadian students an appreciation of Universal educational problems. Coexistence ultimately such confrontation by dispelling false impressions and enabling Realis tic appraisals to be formulated increases the possibility of Accord or at least co exist ence Between different peo Ples. Accord based on realism rather than idealism is most Likely to survive. It is this Type of Accord which has been developed in the last six list five chive must 1. 2 3, 4. 5.
