THE BATTALiOl
Stanfield Is Apparent Winner Of Canadian Election
Ag Stumpers
TORONTO WP> — The Con
servative party led by Robert L.
Stanfield emerged Tuesday as
the apparent winner of an elec
tion which repudiated the ad
ministration of Prime Minister
Pierre Elliott Trudeau. The hair
breadth margin at latest reck
oning was 109 to 108.
The result, leaving the major
parties at almost a standoff, was
one of the most incredible in
Canada’s political history. With
recounts to come in some areas
it remained to be seen whether
Stanfield could form a new gov
ernment displacing T r u d e a u’s
Liberals.
In any case, the Liberals had
lost the majority they had in the
last Parliament and could rule
only with minor-party help. That
was true of the Conservatives
too.
For the time being Trudeau re-
NSF Seeks
Proposals For
SOS Program
The National Science Founda
tion seeks proposals for its Stu
dent Originated Studies (SOS)
Program under which under
graduate students initiate, plan,
and direct projects dealing with
significant societal problems.
The Foundation expects to
make approximately 140 SOS
awards totaling some $2 million
during March 1973. The appli
cation deadline for the program
is Nov. 30, 1972.
The SOS program provides
support for small student groups
each of which will apply science
and technology to the study of
a significant societal problem.
The projects which usually take
place during the summer last for
10-12 weeks and are conducted
on a full-time basis. A student
stipend of $80 per week is paid
to participants, with a maximum
individual student stipend of
$960.
The SOS program is designed
to encourage students to “ex
press in creative ways their con
cern for the well-being of the
country, and to provide support
for students who demonstrate a
readiness to assume inrcrdased re
sponsibility for their own educa
tional development,” according to
NSF officials. The projects pro
vide opportunities for faculty to
assess the desirability of such
studies as a means for introduc
ing greater flexibility into the
preparation of students for sci
entific and technical careers. In
addition, the projects provide
students with insights as to how
science relates to the problems
of the real world.

mained prime minister, although
the voters had given his party
only 40 per cent of the House
of Commons seats it sought.
Stanfield is a former premier
of Nova Scotia. As a graduate
of the Harvard Law School he
is the first Harvard man to be
in line for leadership of the Ca
nadian government.
Stanfield is 58, Trudeau 53.
Trudeau told supporters he was
sorry things turned out as they
did — and advised them to cheer
up and hope for better days.
The election was for 264 seats
in the House of Commons. Late
standings gave the Conservatives
or Tories 109, the Liberals 108,
the New Democrats 30 and So
cial Credit 15 — with two seats
going to independents or unde
cided.
A new federal election is prob
ably just around the corner, per
haps in the spring. It is dolor
ous news to the political parties,
already nearly broke from the
expenses of this campaign.
The Canadian system, like the
British from which it is derived,
requires the party with the most
House of Commons seats to form
a government under the party
leader, who becomes prime min
ister.
In 1968 a political bulldozer
powered by a fuel called Tru-
deaumania flattened the Con
servatives in a triumphal sweep
that left the Liberal leader in
command of a majority.
The Trudeau magic disap
peared this time and the result
is political chaos, at least tem
porarily.
The virtual standoff was un
precedented. Constitutional ex
perts reckoned that Trudeau had
a duty to face the new House of
Commons, and see how it lined
up, before admitting defeat or
deciding what other course to
take.
The socialistic New Democrats,
under the leadership of David
Lewis, were in a balance of pow
er situation. Addition of their
30 seats to those won by either
of the major parties could give
the Conservatives or Liberals a
working margin in the House. A
majority is 133 seats; the Lib
erals held 155 after the 1968 elec
tions.
