results.
The dapper Trudeau, known for the
flower he wears in his suits, was only
three months away from retirement
when Canada was plunged into its
second election in less than nine mon-
ths. He put off his plans to lead the
Liberals into a fifth and "final" elec-
tion campaign.
IN MANY ways, Trudeau embodies
the French-English dichotomy of
Canada.
He was born into a wealthy Montreal
family of French and Scottish ancestry,
grew up perfectly bilingual and was
educated in the best schools of the
French- and English-speaking world,
VETERAN LIBERAL party leader
Pierre Trudeau casts his vote early
yesterday in the Canadian parliamen-
tary elections. Trudeau won over Joe
Clark's Progressive Conservatives, a
party that defeated him just nine mon-
ths ago. Yesterday's voter turnout was
heavy.

including Harvard, the Sorbonne it

Economics.
His family wealth sheltered him fromv
the worries of making a living, and as a
young man in the 1950s and early 1960k
he worked briefly for the federal gover-
nment, dabbled in Quebec provincial
politics, taught law, and co-founded an.
intellectual journal, Cite Libre.
TRUDEAU AND his small magazine
helped lead the fight against a Quebec
government that kept the province in
sulated from modern English Canada.
It was in these days that Trudeau's
strong convictions in favor of a united,
bilingual Canada were formed.
In 1965, the Liberal Party, in need of
such strong "federalist" candidates in
Quebec, recruited the polished and,-
savvy Montrealer to run fort:
Parliament. He won, was named'
parliamentary secretary to Prime
Minister Lester Pearson and then
justice minister.

The University must provide the
faculty with facilities for continued
research, University Vice-President for
Research Charles Overberger told the
Sulty Senate Assembly yesterday at
1 s monthly meeting.
"The drives for the stimulation of
research must come from within (the
individual)," Overberger stressed.
"We - the University -- must strive
together to maximize (research)."
OVERBERGER NOTED he "regar-
ds research as a part of teaching. If you
are hired here as faculty," he said,
"you are expected to do research."
The vice-president told the assembly
University is "making strides" in
le,~ recognition of faculty members who
do research on their own, without the
aid of University funds.
Overberger outlined several Univer-
sity actions that he said will stimulate
research. For instance, he said the
University Committee on Budget Ad-
ministration agreed several years ago
to return discretionary funds to schools
and colleges. Other actions include:
" The establishment of a Research
mintenance Account that is used to
help faculty; and staff in funding
research;
A Release Time Program in which
a faculty member could be excused
from other academic duties to work on
a research project;
* General fund tuition grants for
graduate assistants, and;
" An incentive scheme, in which a
school could retain any of its unused
research monies.
WVERBERGER ALSO said
preliminary research grants, which
range between $5,000 and $7,000,
stimulate research.
Overberger said he would like to con-
centrate research efforts in the
physical sciences. He said that several
years ago, research in the social scien-
ces grew, while research in the physical
sciences was neglected. This neglect,
Overberger said, has become more
@ident in recent years. Overberger
said he is committed to improving this
area. "This is the highest priority in my
mind," he said.
In response to a question concerning
the amount of paperwork researchers
must deal with in order to obtain funds,
Overberger said will not improve. He
attributed the workload to the U.S. Of-
fice of Management and Budget (OMB)
and the Department of Health,
Education and Welfare (HEW), which
*ve tightened up their accounting
procedures.

Vice-President
for Research
Charles Overberger
"OVER THE past five years, every
university has been at sword's point
with OMB and HEW," Overberger said.
"There's no way to defy this system. No
one deplores this (large amount of
paperwork) more than I do. But if you
get yourself too tipset, it affects you."
In other action, the assembly ap-
proved a plan by the Teachers Insuran-
ce and Annuity Association (TIAA) and
the College Retirement Equities Fund
(CREF), two insurance companies, to
apply a unisex mortality table which
would equalite retirement benefits
between men and women.
Under the current plan, women, who
on the average live longer than men,
receive smaller retirement annuities
because their benefits must be spread
out over a longer period of time.
The new proposal, however, will base
the payments on the age, not sex, of the
beneficiary.
Also, Assembly Chairman Richard
Corpron told faculty members it would
be some time before a decision was
made on the new University Vice-
President for Academic Affairs,
although a list of finalists for the
position has been turned over to
University President Harold Shapiro.
