Bernard Boulanger argued the Montreal Labor Council's demand for the right to name a city councillor entailed technical obstacles that would take time to overcome.

Mrs. Simonne Tremblay, queen of Montreal flagpolers, came down unheralded and unsung last week after an even six weeks on top of her Pie IX Blvd. pole.

This feat places her in third place among world competition. Above her, in elapsed poletop time, are Shipwreck Kelly (50 days and 50 nights), and St. Simeon the Hermit of Syria (30 years.)

Freshmen there begin classes a week before upperclassmen to give them a "chance to settle in," Wilfrid Hastings, secretary of the McGill Students Union, said. Most of McGuTs fraternities, private social organizations, still have rugged initiation ceremonies, but conduct them in mid-November. Although McGill has banned freshman hazing, general first-year initiations are still carried out at the U. of. M.

Initiation there consists of wearing costumes, providing entertainment on downtown city streets, and working at charitable institutions. Despite the Montreal fun, the student council at the University of Ottawa has decided to discontinue hazing of freshmen. Very Rev. Rodrique Norman-din, university rector, said the council's decisjon was a sensible step forward.

But at Carleton University in Ottawa a spokesman said the jinks associated with freshman initiations will be unchanged, although the initiation period will be shortened from four or more days to three days.

At the U. of M. "a small amount of hazing is carried out by each faculty," a student spokesman said. The initiation is conducted on the campus and lasts "two or three days," he said. "Students must wear a certain costume and engage in tricks thought up by upperclassmen.

Then each faculty has a dance and the freshmen are officially introduced to the upperclassmen."
