A highlight of the meeting was the introduction and approval of an extraordinary resolution providing for the granting of memberships in the Association to persons "other than graduates or former students, who have demonstrated an active interest in the objectives of the Association." A second resolution approved the use of the term "community members" to describe the persons who fall into this category. The same resolution stated that community members shall not constitute more than 30 per cent of the total membership of any branch or 30 per cent of the total membership of the Alumni Association. FIRST COMMUNITY MEMBER Later in the evening the incoming president, Mark Collins, declared Mr. Barry Mather, one of the speakers at the meeting, the first community member in recognition of his interest in the University. The purpose of introducing the motion, it was explained, was to allow the Association to grant membership to many persons who were not graduates, but who had. by their efforts during and after the development fund drive, demonstrated an interest in U.B.C. Other features of the evening were reports by Norman Hyland, the retiring president, and John Haar, acting-director of the Association. Mr. Hyland termed the past year one of "experiment, growth and action." Experiments mentioned were the three seminars held in conjunction with 1958 Homecoming, broadening of the basis of representation in the Association, and the formation of the Seattle organization known as the "Friends of the University of British Columbia Incorporated," which undertook to collect donations to the development fund from graduates living in the United States. Mr. Hyland also pointed to the growth of branches of the Association which can now form on a geographical or common interest basis. U.B.C. graduates living in Toronto organize on a geographical basis, he said, but branches in the Vancouver area are organizing to carry out activities in fields useful to the University. Other examples of effective action in the past year were carried out on a faculty basis, he said, and he mentioned the sub-committees made up of applied science and medicine graduates which had made recommendations to the administration on matters relating to curriculum and staff appointments. Actions of the executive committee of the board of management were also outlined by Mr. Hyland. He said an alumni delegation had met with a committee of the provincial cabinet in connection with the annual provincial allocation to the University for operating purposes. A second committee, headed by J. E. Kania, B.A.Sc. '26. M.A.Sc. '28, Ph.D. (M.I.T.), had submitted a comprehensive brief to the Royal Commission on Education and a third committee had been formed to U. B. C. ALUMNI CHRONICLE MRS. A. W. FISHER W. GIBSON D. MILLER Hon. J. SINCLAIR MISS R. WRIGHT D. FIELDS behalf of U.B.C. Presentations were made to two retiring members of the facutly at the meeting.

Center is Miss Dorothy Mawdsley, retiring dean of women, who was presented with a gift by Mrs. Sherwood Lett, right. Second from right is Mrs. Harry T. Logan, wife of the retiring editor of the U.B.C. Alumni Chronicle. The individuals above are some of the members of the executive committee of the Association's board of management. LLINS HEADS ALUMNI investigate the ways in which students can more effectively make the major transition to University life. TOUR OF KOOTENAYS To inform future graduates of the activities of the Alumni Association the director has also spoken ot graduating classes in engineering and commerce during the past year Mr. Hyland said. The facilities of the Association have also been utilized to assist President MacKenzie in a tour of the Kootenay area. (See report page 10). Mr. Hyland said that major factors in the future activities of the Association were the necessity to impress on new graduates the value of the work done by the Association, and the encouragement of persons in provincial communities in aiding the University. This work, he said, could be promoted by granting associate memberships in the Association. John Haar, in his report to the meeting, said that in 1959 the Association intended to reintroduce the annual giving program which was suspended during the development fund campaign. The reintro- duction of this program would be a "measure of the depth and sincerity, in the eyes of many, of the Alumni habit of annual giving," he said. Mr. Haar said that Alumni must continue the "positive and helpful" role which was so evident during the past year in such activities as Homecoming, committee work and advisory services to the University. PRESENTATION TO EDITOR A number of presentations were also made during the evening. In presenting a gift to John Haar, Mr. Hyland paid tribute to his work and said the Association was fortunate in having obtained his services. A presentation was also made to Col. Harry T. Logan, retiring editor of the U.B.C. Alumni Chronicle. He received a bound volume of all the issues of the Chronicle which he edited between 1953 and 1958. Mr. Hyland said that Col. Logan had made immense improvements in the Chronicle during his editorship and the Association was indebted to him for the contribution which he had made. Mr. Hyland then called on Mrs. Sherwood Lett, B.A. '17, M.A. '26, to make a presentation to Dean Dorothy Mawdsley, B.A. (McGill) '20, M.A. '27, Ph.D. (Chicago), who will retire this year as dean of women. Mrs. L. H. Leeson, B.A. '23, a member of the board of management, also presented Miss Marjorie Leeming, B.A. '26, retiring assistant dean of women, with a gift. When Mr. Collins was officially installed as president he paid tribute to the work of Mr. Hyland during the past year and made a presentation to him. Mr. Collins then introduced Col. Harry Logan who spoke on the theme of the meeting, "Alumni we have known." Col. Logan described the beginnings of the Alumni Association and pointed out that including this year's graduates the University now had 28,487 alumni. Well over 25,000 of these were still alive, said Col. Logan, and he added that it was remarkable that the whereabouts of only 1100 were unknown. The "lofty" objectives of the Association, he said, arose from the University motto, "Tuum Est," which was given to the University by its first president, Dr. F. F. Wesbrook. He pointed out that to Dr. Wesbrook the motto meant that the University belonged to the entire province despite the fact that Alumni, as students, often interpreted it as meaning "It's up to you." Col. Logan said that probably the greatest thing that had happened to the Alumni Association was the recent development fund to which 7,393 alumni contributed a total of $661,425. He also mentioned the increased activities by committees and the development of the alumni scholarship program as evidence of voluntary work which is done for its own sake. WITTY END TO EVENING The final address of the evening was given by Vancouver Sun columnist Barry Mather whose witticisms about U.B.C. alumni in the newspaper world brought the evening to a close. Some of his remarks follow: Pierre Berton, B.A. '41: "Pierre is the only man I know who is still making money out of the gold rush." Bruce Hutchison, LL.D.: "All Canadian history is now divided into two parts— before and after Hutchison. If he writes one more book on Canada he will get to keep the Cambrian shield." Eric Nicol, B.A. '41, M.A. '48, and David Brock, B.A. '30: "To understand Brock you have to read his whole column. However, in the case of Nicol, you only need to read the first paragraph. You might say that Nicol is instant Brock." Hymie Koshevoy, Class of Arts '32: "He is the managing editor who went from the Sun to the Province to the Sun to the Province to the Sun. He has resigned to many times he is known as 'Hopalong' Koshevoy." Aubrey Roberts, Class of Arts '23: "One of the first men to recognize my worth. When he joined the News Herald he made me stop being telegraph editor and started me writing a column." U.B.C.

ALUMNI CHRONICLE THE BRANCHES REPORT President in Kootenays On the first of what it is hoped will become an annual regional tour, President MacKenzie visited seven communities of the Kootenay valley during the week of April 19 to 25. Accompanied by the acting alumni director, the President expressed the appreciation of the University for the dollars donated, effort expended and loyalty displayed by alumni, community organizations, and friends in support of the U.B.C. Development Fund drive. Through the initiative and under the guidance of Kootenay alumni and supporters of the University, four to five meetings per day were held in Invermere, Kimberley. Cranbrook, Nelson, Creston. Trail and Rossland. At formal gatherings. Dr. MacKenzie's report to the citizens was followed by lively question periods which revealed areas of local interest in. and concern for, education. The President discussed frankly the question of higher education and junior colleges, the extra costs of attendance at U.B.C. for out-of-town students, problems surrounding the addition of facilities at U.B.C. more student housing, and the rate of failure in the freshman year. In reply to the oft-asked questions about additional educational institutions in the province, the President recommended the establishment of a commission or committee to study all the ramifications of the future development of higher education. A clear idea of the types of institution needed (whether vocational or liberal arts, integrated or terminal), location, sources of finance, availability of adequate and qualified staff and necessary facilities, should be sought to permit an economic and systematic development. Frequent expressions about added costs of travel and board for students from the interior at U.B.C. prompted the suggestion that a form of "equalization assistance" could, and should, be established under provincial and federal government aid. From packed high school auditoriums in Creston and Trail and from special student groups in Cranbrook and Rossland came a warm response and diverse questions from future students. A special visit to Notre Dame College in Nelson was followed by a meeting of local citizens seeking establishment of a junior college in the community. At formal and informal gatherings parents, interested citizens and organizations showed the genuine interest in the Kootenays in all aspects of education, and the recognition of its significance in the future of our society. DR. BELLE McGAULEY, B.A.'IO, is president of the Southern California branch of the Alumni Association. SEATTLE VISIT CHEQUE PRESENTED On Friday, April 24, the Seattle Branch of the Alumni Association of the University of British Columbia held a cocktail party at the Lake Washington waterfront home of Stanley T.

KEEN INTEREST OKANAGAN TOUR The people of the Okanagan are keenly interested in the University of British Columbia and wish it success in the development program. This is the impression gained by Aubrey F. Roberts, assistant to the President and director of the Development Fund, and Roy Jessiman. partner of Thompson, Berwick and Pratt. University architects, who toured the Okanagan in May speaking to alumni branches, service clubs and high school assemblies. They found everywhere a lively interest in and a reservoir of good will for U.B.C. Mr. Jessiman outlined the University's development program, illustrating his address with slides showing charts of the development plan and colour photos of new buildings on the campus. The new student residences captured the attention of all audiences as did the new Buchanan building. In Penticton Mr. Roberts and Mr. Jessiman met with alumni under the leadership of Dr. Hugh Barr and Harley Hatfield, B.A.'28, addressed the Kiwanis Club luncheon and were interviewed by Bjorn Bjornson over radio station CKOK. In Summerland they addressed a high school assembly arranged by Principal A. K. MacLeod, B.A.'34, and the Rotary Club dinner meeting, arranged by Ewart Wooliams. B.A.'25. In Kelowna there was a radio interview with Stan Lettner at radio station CKOV and an address to a combined dinner meeting of the Toastmasters' Club and Kelowna alumni arranged by Arthur P. Dawe, B.A.'38. At Kelowna also Mr. Roberts and Mr. Jessiman were invited to appear at a city council meeting where they were greeted by Mayor R. F. Parkinson and spoke briefly in appreciation of Kelowna's interest and support. In Vernon there was a luncheon meeting of alumni headed by Patrick Mackie, B.A.'51 and Hilda Cryderman. B.A.'33 and a radio interview with Jack Pollard of station CJIB. In Kamloops there was an informal lunch with a small group of alumni. Roland Aubrey. B.Arch.'51 and Jim Asselstine, B.Com.'46, alumni leaders in the Development Fund campaign, were both on jury duty so it was not possible to arrange a general meeting. During the tour the question of junior colleges was raised in every centre and it is obvious that all have some claims for consideration if and when the Department of Education decides to move in that direction. Several Okanagan friends expressed the hope that the University can increase its offerings to their communities in the way of lectures, theatres, music and capsule college undertakings. U.B.C.

ALUMNI CHRONICLE VANCOUVER'S new civic auditorium, containing a restaurant and parking lot for 350 cars, will be the site of the 1959 Festival. RENOWNED German soprano Elisabeth Schwarzkopf will appear in recitals and concerts during the International Festival. Vancouver festival publicity director Ernest Perrault previews the 1959 show VANCOUVE Last year in a summer made historic both by the celebration of British Columbia's hundredth birthday and a sky that remained blue and cloudless for a record-breaking period of time—last year in July a festival of the arts was launched in the city of Vancouver. The idea of an arts festival had been in the minds of a hard core of enthusiasts since 1948 when the Community Arts Council of Vancouver set up a committee to study the possibilities and submit recommendations; but the actual launching of the festival did not occur until Nicholas Goldschmidt, then musical director of the opera school at the Royal Conservatory of Music in Toronto, submitted an elaborate brief outlining plans for a major arts festival. Nicholas Goldschmidt was not writing at an uninformed distance when he put his thoughts on paper. He had been, since 1948, a regular visitor to Vancouver in his capacity initially as a teacher and lecturer in lieder and choral singing at the University summer school of the ERNEST PERRAULT, B.A.'48, is publicity director for the Vancouver International Festival. He is a former U.B.C. information officer. arts. At the time his brief was prepared he had become director of music for the rapidly-growing summer school and was able to state, from his own experience, that Vancouver audiences would support opera, symphony and drama of internationally important calibre. In the estimation of Nicholas Goldschmidt the time was ripe. His plan was to convert Vancouver into a festival city on a scale comparing with such European centres as Salzburg—or Scotland's Edinburgh. Once more the Community Arts Council took up the cause, armed this time with Goldschmidt's blueprint. The Council's president at the time was Mrs. W. G. H. Roaf. She was strongly supported by Mrs. O. H. Korner and Mrs. Reginald Arkell (now Mrs. Arthur Wait) and these three were largely instrumental in persuading Mr. William Mainwaring, now president of the Peace River Development Corporation, to become the president of the Vancouver Festival Society. The Society lost little time in appointing Nicholas Goldschmidt artistic and managing director . . . and that unfortunately is all the time we can devote to the history of North America's first truly international festival. Stated in the briefest terms, the first Festival attracted a total audience of 100,000 people to a four week program involving the services of four hundred actors, musicians, dancers, concert artists, and choristers. Claude Gingras writing in Montreal's "La Presse" gave an early ruling in the Festival announcement for 1959. "I do not know what the Montreal Festival Society is going to announce for its twenty-fourth season," he wrote, "but the Vancouver Festival is probably the first in the whole world to announce its program so soon. It has evidently had first choice, and what a choice! In reading the list of invited artists everyone will agree that the Vancouver Festival will be one of the most important artistic events of the entire world in 1959." Generous words from a city with an established festival of its own. Mr. Gingras was correct in assuming that plans for the 1959 Festival started early. Many of the details had been established before the termination of the 1958 Festival and in order to project plans even further into the future Nicholas Goldschmidt embarked on a three month tour of the middle and far East returning in November to report U.B.C. ALUMNI CHRONICLE 12 '*:!&' AGNES MOOREHEAD, originally signed to play Festival play, has been replaced by Eva Le Gallienne. lead MARY COSTA, from Tennessee, will sing the role of Eurydice in an English version of Gluck's opera, 'Orpheus and Eurydice.' FESTIVAL CITY that he had established important contacts in India, Japan, Hong Kong, and some countries in Europe. Now the program of the 1959 Festival began to unfold. Among the first artists to be announced was Herbert von Karajan, generally referred to as "the concert director of Europe." Probably the greatest of the world's young conductors, he "commutes" from La Scala to the Vienna State Opera House in his own small plane or sports car. Forty lovely girls trained in the art of Kabuki dancing will come from Takarazuka, Japan. These dancers will be joined by the Ballet Espanol Ximenez- Vargas from Spain, and dance will also play a major part in the Festival production of Gluck's melodic opera "Orpheus and Eurydice." There will be thirty dancers in the corps de ballet which explains in part why the noted American choreographer, Hanya Holm, was asked to direct the opera. The role of Orpheus will be sung by Sweden's comely brunette Kerstin Meyer, and a striking blonde soprano from Tennessee, Mary Costa, will sing "Eurydice." The Festival play is no less impressive in its arrangements. John Reich, of Chicago's Goodman Memorial Theatre, will direct Frederick Schiller's "Mary Stuart" starring Viveca Lindfors in the title role and Eva Le Gallienne as Elizabeth I. Lloyd Bochner and Bruno Gerussi, both veterans of the Stratford Shakespearean theatre, will play the male leads. Nine of the cast of fifteen have been chosen from the ranks of Vancouver actors. Many of the world's outstanding artists will appear in recitals and solo performances including the noted German soprano, Elisabeth Schwarzkopf, Swiss tenor Ernst Haefliger, Vancouver born soprano Milla Andrew; violinist Betty- Jean Hagen; pianists Marie-Aimee War- rot, Rudolf Firkusny, Marie Friedlander; cellists Zara Nelsova and Ernst Fried- lander; the Hungarian Quartet; the Cassenti Players, directed by George Zukerman; the C.B.C. Chamber orchestra, and many others. The Festival will boast no less than seven symphony conductors including the greatest living maestro of this half century—Bruno Walter, who will conduct a pair of all- Mozart concerts with Elisabeth Schwarzkopf as soloist. In a lighter vein the internationally acclaimed concert comedienne, Anna Russell, will appear for a full week presenting sketches and vignettes especially prepared for the occasion. There will be a two week Film Festival offering the best films of at least 25 countries. An exhibition entitled "The Arts in French Canada" assembled by M. Gerard Morisset of the Quebec Museum will occupy most of the rooms in the Vancouver Art Gallery for the run of the Festival. Last year many patrons complained bitterly about the inadequate theatre accommodation. This year the Festival will open in the new Vancouver civic auditorium, a 2800-seat theatre completely equipped and lavishly designed for the comfort and convenience of both audience and performers. All in all the 1959 Festival should over-shadow the successful Festival of 1958 in every way. But, no one will ever forget 1958. Out of uncertainty, sacrifice and a large vision emerged an important new cultural achievement in Canada. The Festival was born in 1958 and has grown to magnificent proportions in 1959. The people of Vancouver and British Columbia can be proud to claim that they have seen the birth of a festival city in North America. 13 U. B. C. ALUMNI CHRONICLE THE RO/> To Shreve McCannon, the Canadian student at Harvard in William Faulkner's Absalom, Absalom!, the South is a complete enigma: "What is it?" he asks his roommate, Quentin Compson, whose tale in Absalom, Absalom! is a parable of the corruption and decay of the South, "something you live and breathe in like air? a kind of vacuum filled with wraithlike and indomitable anger and pride and glory at and in happenings that occurred and ceased fifty years ago?" Quentin's answer — "You can't understand it. You would have to be born there." —is an over-simplification, but precisely because Shreve's puzzlement is based on removal and remoteness— ". . . it's something," Shreve says, "my people haven't got." Quentin's answer is not so naive as it seems. Shreve, and Canadians in general, do not live "among defeated grandfathers and freed slaves . . . always reminding (them) to never forget." Living as removed from the racial issues that animate the current Southern scene as the average Alabaman from the vagaries of Social Credit politics, Canadians, stimulated unfortunately by a sensational and often irresponsible press, are prone to criticize a situation with which most of them have only second-hand familiarity. Canadian nationalism and a natural suspicion of the United States, engendered by years of conflicting economic interest, together with a patriotic and sometimes uncritical belief in the superiority of all Canadian institutions, produce an intellectual climate immediately receptive to the distorted techniques of propaganda. Canadians Condemn Prejudice Canadians condemn — and rightly so — the signs of racial prejudice in the South; unfortunately, their condemnation, nurtured all too often on the springs of unthinking emotionalism and compounded frequently of half-digested half-truths, lacks the force of reasoned and sincere conviction. Any condemnation other than that growing out of an understanding and intelligent grasp of the issues at hand capitalizes on the very prejudice for which the South is stigmatized. One would hardly presume to criticize a play after seeing only the middle act; by the same logic one cannot presume to appraise the present situation in the South without reclaiming from the emotional smog that now surrounds it the antecedents which give rise WILLIAM FREDEMAN is an assistant professor in the department of English at U.B.C. He recently received a grant from the Canada Council and is currently on a year's leave of absence in England where he is engaged in post-doctoral work. Born in the southern United States Dr. Fredeman is a graduate of Hendrix College, Conway, Arkansas, and the University of Oklahoma, where he received his master's and doctor's degrees. to the present crisis, and without anticipating from existing evidence what its conclusions are likely to be. It is difficult for an outsider to comprehend a belief in white supremacy that lacks ethnic, scientific, and historical support. It is even more difficult for him to view with detachment the periodic eruptions of hatred and violence that inevitably occur when two distinct ideologies clash: in this case the desire of the Negro for the freedom and rights guaranteed him as a citizen of the United States, and the irrational, but determined, conviction of the Southerner that the preservation of the very democratic principles upon which the Negro bases his claim is jeopardized by any threat to white supremacy. The traditional arguments which the South has always advanced for white Supremacy now seem hopelessly effete, even stupid, for the role of the Negro laborer in an agrarian society has diminished proportionately as the entire nation — the South with it — has given way to industrial expansion. Thus the necessity of economic exploitation which underlay slavery and plagued the Negro well into the twentieth century has been removed, but the social attitudes corollary to it have not. The archetype remains, instilled as it were by a kind of emotional osmosis in generations that have never known the older order, and the responsibility for the decline of a leisurely and prosperous paternalistic way of life is laid at the door of the most readily available scapegoat — the Negro. The Civil War, and the spiritual and physical devastation that attended it, has a palpable presence in the Southern psyche, and the Southerner has never forgotten the catalytic role which the Negro played in fomenting that revolution. So too, the bitter struggles of reconstruction and the problems posed by the Negro in that era when, together with Northern carpetbaggers, he terrorized the South, linger still in the collective unconscious of Southerners removed by four generations from the catastrophe. Today, the legal decision of a half century ago, which then pacified the South with a constitutional interpretation satisfied with "separate but equal" rights, has been revoked, and the Southerner foresees the total breakdown of a way of life which, itself a compromise, promised at least a permanence and the preservation of white supremacy. Southerners would, in all likelihood, be far more willing to allow the Negro his full civil rights were it not for the fact that the recent (1954) Supreme Court decision cuts across the traditional emphasis on States' Rights, as did the 14th and 15th amendments, the latter of which Virginia, Texas, Mississippi, and Georgia were forced to ratify in 1869 as a condition for reentry into the Union. The concept of States' Rights is vital to the United States as a whole, not to the South alone, although seldom have issues so essentially affect- U. B. C. ALUMNI CHRONICLE 14 By W. E. Fredeman D TO FREEDOM A U.B.C. teacher discusses the background of racial problems in the southern United States and advances made in educational integration ing those rights been precipitated in other regions of the Union. The framers of the Constitution were explicit in their concern that complete jurisdiction should not be vested in a centralized government. The powers of the federal government were intentionally limited by the 10th Amendment which, unlike Canadian practice, "reserved to the states respectively . . . the powers not delegated" to the federal government "nor prohibited by it to the states." So strongly did these men feel about the matter — by 1783 States' Rights was a tradition in all the thirteen colonies, most of whom, too, well remembered intervention by England in purely colonial policies — that this political principle was made a part of the Bill of Rights. And what of civil rights, the rights of the individual? Were there no safeguards against infringement here? Certainly the Constitution contained provision for the guarantee and the protection of these rights to citizens, but it must be remembered that the framers of the Constitution accepted slavery as a social institution — slaves were not citizens — and they could not foresee the tremendous upheavals which would result from the conflict of these two ideals. The apparent, and in one sense very real, contradition between these two ideals was one of the principal causes of the Civil War. Deep-Seated Resentment The 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments to the Constitution, which respectively freed the slaves, insured civil rights, and expressly guaranteed civil rights, particularly the franchise, to the Negro caused deep-seated resentment in the South, which lost not only a moral victory but as well an economic fight for survival. Today, although these issues are, economically at least, academic, the inheritors of that traditional resentment bear vociferous witness to the ubiquitous presence of their "defeated grandfathers"; they have never forgotten, though probably they could not remember. With the 1954 Supreme Court ruling that "separate but equal" facilities are not within the spirit of the Constitution, it is inevitable that the old order must change; that indeed it is now changing and will continue to do so, that the tenets of the Constitution are flexible enough to allow for alteration and reinterpretations within the spirit rather than the letter of its original intent is ample evidence of the essentially dynamic qualities of democratic, constitutional government. The framers of the Constitution "builded," to borrow a phrase from Emerson, "better than they knew" by anticipating the possibility of radical changes in the United States and by making provisions for the right of amendment in the original law of the land. Today, in the United States, the legislation, though not the legal precedents in every case, for the complete integration of all minority groups — not just the Negroes — does exist, and so far this legislation has been intelligently implemented in the federal courts. Certainly the realization of complete civil equality for all races will take time, for hatred, prejudice, and ignorance cannot be legislated out of existence. There are inherent dangers in administering any social and political innovations in which the issues are not only vital and controversial, but explosive. Law and order have as much to fear from over-zealous liberals as from fanatic radicals. Thus, much of the pressure presently being applied by the National Association for the Advancement of Coloured People for immediate and complete integration, is grossly unrealistic and may reap a harvest far different from what such liberals as Thurgood Marshall, the chief legal advisor of the National Association for the Advancement of Coloured People (NAACP), is seeking. Offering a reasonable apology for the South would be a difficult task indeed, even for a confirmed Southerner, but the absence of a palpable explanation does not alter in any way the realities of the problem. Unfortunately, there are no facile solutions; the change, which must be permanent and real, not short-lived and antipathetic acquiescence, will come about only through a slow, well-planned educative process, effecting gradually the disintegration of ingrained habits, beliefs, and ideas. The law is assuredly on the side of the integrationists, but if in their zeal they succeed not in securing freedom and equality, but in fomenting a spirit of lawlessness and revolt, surely they will be in much the same dilemma as the dead man who had the right of way. i i The whole problem of racial integration in the United States has been centred, during the past two years, on the integration of the Negro into the white school systems of the South. Little Rock, Arkansas, despite brief outbreaks elsewhere, remains throughout the world a permanent and unhappy symbol of fanatic ignorance and arrogance fighting aggressively to preserve a segregated way of life. That the actual racial revolution should have occurred in Little Rock is as paradoxical as the fact that the Marxist revolution began in Russia. During the period of the depression and throughout the early years of the war, Little Rock was a quiet, unassuming, langorous, rather lazy, probably rather typical, border Southern town, not unlike Victoria in many ways. It clung tenaciously to the traditions of the past and viewed with suspicion the encroachment of industry in the state of which it is the capital. Its people and their habits were, in the main, provincial and conservative. Like the citizens of most towns and cities all over North America during the depression era, the people of Little Rock were primarily concerned with eking a living out 15 U. B. C. ALUMNI CHRONICLE of a collapsed economy that offered them neither work nor security. There is in common adversity a kind of mutual bond that transcends the confines of religious, political, and racial differences, and perhaps first the depression and then the war helped to alleviate and push into the background many of the tensions which might otherwise have found tangible expression. There were few, if any, racial disturbances in the Little Rock of the depression and early war years, though there was certainly prejudice and discrimination, and in general Negroes were considered inferior. The way of life was manifestly segregated: the Negro ghetto stretched along Ninth Street west from Broadway to High and south from about Sixth to Twentieth stteets; streetcars and buses had "Seat to the Rear" signs; places of entertainment, schools, and professional services were "separate" and seldom "equal." City-wide there was a kind of peaceful coexistence; in the homes with domestic servants there was a benevolence, stemming from dependence, that created its own kind of tolerance. If there were overt racial disturbances, they were surely isolated. Now, twenty years later, the eyes of the entire world are focused on this quiet, unassuming, languorous, rather lazy, probably rather typical border Southern town and on the issues it has come to represent. Now, stirred up by political opportunists who have subverted law and order and turned them to their own political advantage, Little Rock has been for two years embroiled in a racial and political crisis that reaches far beyond the borders of its parent state, indeed far beyond the borders of its parent country, breeding dissension and unrest in the minds and hearts of peoples everywhere. Betrayed and maligned by the man they elected to lead them, the peoples of Arkansas have committed themselves to a course of action untenable by any standard of human conduct. Faubus Capitalized on Fear The "ignorant plowboy"—Louis "Satchmo" Armstrong's apt epithet for Arkansas' Faubus — could have smoothed the way for the peaceful integration of Little Rock's schools, which would probably have occurred in 1965; instead he capitalized on inherent fear and hatred, and the people of the state conspired to help him succeed. The "City of Roses" now by any other name would smell far sweeter. Little Rock is, of course, only symptomatic of the disturbances all over the South following in the wake of the 1954 Supreme Court decision. But Little Rock is a beginning and not an end; symbolizing only the aggressive reaction of diehard segregationists, it obscures the more hopeful signs apparent everywhere thoughout the South. To a large extent, the distortion of the true situation stems from an irresponsible press, concerned more with selling papers than printing the truth. All over the border states and in many cities of the deep South, gradual integration has begun: Louisville, Kentucky, has had integrated schools for at least two years; Clinton, Tennessee, the "hot spot of racial clashes" only two years ago, has successfully integrated its schools; many of the smaller communities of Arkansas have pointed the way to the solution of Little Rock's dilemma; even the mighty Virginia (and as Virginia goes so eventually goes the entire South) has finally capitulated under federal pressures. These facts lack sensational headline appeal, however, and their news value is completely overshadowed by the faintest hints of riot and disorder. Everyone, everywhere, remembers that Faubus used his National Guard as a kind of storm troop to flout the agencies of law and order, but how many people remember that only the year before, Frank Clement, the Governor of Tennessee, a man dedicated, by his own admission, to the principle of segregation, called out the National Guard — his personal troops — not to take the law into his own hands and prevent the peaceful integration of Clinton, Tennessee's schools, but to defend the law of the land when it was threatened by imported alarmists and rabble-rousers such as John Kasper? In the press, and consequently in the public mind, the emphasis is not on Frank Clement's action, nor on successful integration anywhere. In a real sense, what happened at Little Rock may prove salutary to the larger issue of racial tolerance and to the ultimate cause of integration. Since 1957, vast inroads have been made into the jungle of ignorance and prejudice that was the older South. Pressures Brought to Bear Recently, new pressures have been brought to bear upon recalcitrant states; a new civil rights bill has been introduced in the American Congress with particular reference to the Negro franchise; the leaders of many Southern states recoiled in horror at the injustice of Georgia's shabby and unscrupulous election practices and denounced them publicly; increased bombings of public properties, especially of integrated schools by fanatics, have forced many states to clean up their law enforcement agencies; and the Supreme Court is maintaining a firm stand in the face of litigation designed to delay the forces of integration. iii The road to freedom is not yet won. Little Rock will certainly not be the last stronghold of ignorance and violence in the fight for integration. Federal troops have "occupied" the capital city of a sovereign state, and the ramifications of that precedent may well reach beyond the integration issue far into the future. But integration will come. As surely as Hamlet says of death: If it be now, 'tis not to come; if it be not to come, it will be now; if it be not now, yet it will come. The readiness is all, and the readiness has been prepared. Legislated freedom, however, will not prove a panacea, and those most avidly campaigning for racial freedom must realize that freedom for all can exist only in the most idealistic sense. Tolerance is almost never all encompassing, and when the ruins of the present segregated social structure have become the foundation of a new era, the Negro will still have to win the only kind of tolerance worth having: the respect for his individual worth. Shreve McCannon, and his counterparts throughout the world, must review their opinions and try to see the Southern crisis in a true and balance perspective. They must realize that ignorance, greed, and fear are not regionally restricted to the Southern section of the United States. Prejudice, in all its manifestations, exists everywhere, once the minority becomes numerically significant enough to make itself felt. The recent outbreaks in England, the severe application of apartheid principles in South Africa, the French suppression of the Algerians, the anti-semitism and other forms of racial discrimination that exists in Canada: all bear testimony to the obvious fact that weeds can grow in the most carefully cultivated gardens. The Negroes of the United States will unquestionably endure. Their most immediate role, and their strength, lies in the tactics which were so admirably applied in the bus boycott in Montgomery, Alabama. Federal law is certainly with them, and the federal government has at last committed itself to a course of actively defending the rights of its citizens who become the victims of open and violent prejudice. Emancipation Proclamation Up from slavery, through emancipation, to the first faint flickerings of an inevitable equality and complete integration is no mean record for a people in less than a hundred years, especially when each concession has been at the expense of long-established tradition, deep-rooted ideals, and vested interests which depend on the continuance of the status quo. The die was cast as early as 1863 when Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation. Eventually the terms of that document will be fulfilled: I do order and declare that all persons held as slaves . . . are, and henceforward shall be, free; and that the Executive government of the United States, including the military and naval authorities, will recognize and maintain the freedom of said persons . . . And upon this act, sincerely believed to be an act of justice, warranted by the Constitution, upon military necessity, I invoke the considerate judgement of mankind and the gracious favor of Almighty God. U. B. C. ALUMNI CHRONICLE 16 ARTIFICIAL SPAWNING Its Potential Contribution to Development of more Salmon and more Power in British Columbia By VAL GWYTHER Perhaps the most frustrating conflict confronting the development of water resources in British Columbia is the competition of fish and power for the use of the waters of some of our major river systems. The salmon resources of the province have for many years provided the basis for one of our most important industries, besides supplying a source of food for native populations and a source of recreation for an increasing number of sportsmen. POPULAR MISCONCEPTION Many of the rivers of British Columbia, particularly in the Fraser River system, can be developed for purposes in addition to fish maintenance. Such purposes include hydropower generation, irrigation, navigation, and domestic and industrial water supply. The popular misconception has been that development of these other purposes will wipe out the salmon runs. The purpose of this article is to show that it is possible to have both fish and power in the same river basin and to point out the contribution which artificial propagation can make to this end. In the past one hundred years or so British Columbia has developed from an outpost of western civilization to a province which stands on the threshold of becoming one of the important industrial complexes of the world. In this evolution the development of our salmon resources and our hydropower resources have both played a critical role. NO CONFLICT UNTIL RECENTLY Until recently they did not come into conflict. This was because power needs VAL GWYTHER, B.A.Sc'24, P.Eng., a consulting engineer in Vancouver, is a member of Fraser River Multiple Use Committee. were small and could be readily satisfied through the development of small, non- salmon streams. Our power needs are now expanding so rapidly, however, that our economic non-salmon streams will soon be insufficient to provide for our future requirements. Eventually we may have to use salmon streams too. The major question facing public policy makers is "Can we have power development on salmon streams and still be able to maintain our fisheries?" An objective look at the facts suggests that not only is the development of the two resources compatible but also that the development of hydropower can make a major contribution to the optimum development of the salmon resources. In this connection, the development of artificial propagation has a vital role to play. Artificial propagation of salmon can assist the fishing industry in two principal directions: (a) by supplementing natural spawning, and, (b) by compensating for losses in fish runs resulting from construction of dams. NATURAL SPAWNING INADEQUATE Observation of experience in British Columbia, the Pacific northwest United States, and elsewhere, shows that natural spawning is inadequate to ensure a continuous and stable fishery. Not only do runs vary tremendously from year to year but in some cases runs have declined to levels which spell extinction. In many instances the decline cannot be attributed to man-made devices, least of all power dams. In fact, often it is only through these devices that runs have been maintained and developed. Through control of water flow, temperature and predators many runs have been increased far above previous levels. Often natural spawing, even with these controls, is inadequate to ensure stable runs. By the introduction af artificial spawning methods, continuous fishing has been made possible. The implicit assumption in most fish maintenance programs is that fish ladders are the best, if not the only, means of ensuring salmon survival in the face of dam construction. Even the most highly developed fish ladders, however, are unable to ensure a 100 per cent survival. In the Pacific northwest United States the advantages of a program of artificial propagation as a supplement to the fish ladder have been recognized. Artificial propagation is now an integral part of the fishery development schemes south of the border. OFFERS GREAT OPPORTUNITIES There is no suggestion that artificial propagation could ever replace natural methods. Despite its much superior efficiency, artificial spawning costs money. But if we want to ensure a stable fishery we must invest wisely in methods of regenerating our resources. Artificial propagation offers great opportunities for developing the salmon fishery to levels far beyond those possible in the absence of man-made controls. Methods used by both nature and man in the propagation of salmon are natural spawning and artificial spawning respectively. Artificial propagation takes place in specially constructed channels with some control and in hatcheries with the associated advantages of fish farming in controlled water areas. There is mortality of fish in all types of propagation, varying in degree according to the help we are able to apply. In addition, there are increased benefits in production in artificial channels and hatchery propagation. REASONS FOR LOSSES In natural spawning losses of fish are extensive due to inadequate fertilization of eggs, exposure of eggs to atmosphere and unsanitary conditions. There are losses due both to overcrowding of adults in spawning areas and regulation during 17 U.B.C.

This is part of an extensive conservation program costing more than $5 million. Net of plastic and wire mesh—2800 feet long and 120 feet deep—is stretched across Brownlee reservoir and trapped fish are captured by "skimmers." Rubber pipeline delivers fish to special tank trucks on Idaho shore. Trucks haul fish 15 miles downstream and return them to river. migration, and to destruction of nests in high discharges and insufficient water during low water periods for proper migration, and water temperatures that are unsatisfactory. There are also extensive losses due to predatory fish and other forms of life. In natural propagation we can expect an adult return of about 1.65 fish for every spawner four years later. Of this return, one must be allowed for escapement to spawning area and 0.65 may be taken by the fishermen. In artificial spawning channels the survival in egg to downstream migrant is greater than in natural spawning due to control of quantity of water and temperature regulation. Overcrowding and some other factors can be eliminated but these factors depend on the degree of control which is applied to the artificial channel. Average quoted figures indicate that the production of salmon in these artificial channels is about six times that of natural spawning. We then have a return of 9.8 fish for every spawning fish, 8.8 of which may be used for production and one allowed to escapement. In hatchery propagation and rearing in constructed pools the survival figures from eggs taken to migrant are from 75 to 90 per cent. Assuming 75 per cent survival, from one spawning fish 40 return four years later, of which one must be allowed to escapement and 39 taken for production. While this is the survival in any one year of any race, production can be obtained and controlled to maximum capacity of hatchery incubation or rearing ponds every year. In summing up the propagation of salmon by various types of spawning and rearing in fresh and salt water, we must come to the conclusion that the principal difference in all these types of propagation is the varying degree of control nature and man has been able to apply. In each and every increment of control that is applied, we will receive additional benefits in survival and therefore increased production. Artificial propagation then appears to have important advantages over natural spawning. What then has been done in artificial propagation and what is being done to supplement natural spawning with the encroachment of civilization? The problem of the competition of fish and power is not a new one nor is it common to British Columbia only. The problem has arisen in the Pacific northwest United States, Scotland and elsewhere. Experience in these areas in solving it suggest avenues which might be fruitfully pursued in this province. Tracing the developments in the fish management field since the 1930s, we can discern the evolution of a number of successful means for developing the fisheries of the Pacific northwest United States. These are: (a) efficient fish passage facilities, (b) hatcheries, (c) relocation of runs, (d) fish farming, and (e) fishing regulations. Most of these means were incorporated in the Lower Columbia River Fishery Program which was initiated in 1949, and in much of the subsequent fishery resource development programs since that date. The United States agencies have cooperated with Canadian agencies in research but acceptance of some of these means in Canada has been only lukewarm. This is perhaps surprising in view of the great successes achieved in the United States, particularly with respect to artificial propagation and fish farming. The construction of the Grand Coulee Dam in 1934 completely blocked off thousands of miles of spawning grounds above this structure with its relative destruction in the fish resource. Means U.B.C. ALUMNI CHRONICLE 18 VAL GWYTHER were taken to restore this deficiency by artificial propagation. The largest hatchery in the world which is at Leavenworth was built in 1940. It has never been used above 50 per cent capacity and, as of now, is only producing at about 1/3 capacity. The aim was to propagate and build up the runs of chinook, blueback and steelhead to compensate for the loss of over a thousand miles of spawning grounds. During the first year of operation about 3,000,000 baby chinook were hatched at this site and were released to the adjacent creek, but very few returned four years later to this point of release. In contrast, chinook reared at Leavenworth and released in Mason Creek and the Entiat, Methow and Wenatchee rivers yielded large returns of spawners. Although the chinook program was a partial failure, the fish culturists were extremely successful with bluebacks (sockeye). These could be spawned at the racks in the river, the eggs hatched out, and the tiny fingerlings planted in Wenatchee and Osoyoos Lakes. From 1941 to 1954 the blueback run at Rock Island Dam, which was built in 1932, multiplied over 90 times, from a low of 950 fish to a high of 91,000. The blue- back escapement count at Bonneville in 1955 was an all-time high of 135,000. The necessity of supplementing natural spawning was well-known before the turn of the present century. James Crawford in the 1894 report of the Washington State Fish Commission writes: "That the salmon industry is in great danger, by reason of the decrease in the supply of salmon, cannot be successfully denied, and unless some steps are immediately taken to repair by artificial propagation, the ravages annually made by different fishing appliances on our salmon supply, this industry that brings nearly two million dollars annually to the citizens of Washington and Oregon, will have passed into history." The industry has not passed into history. In an overall survey of the salmon problem, it was generally agreed that artificial propagation must play an increasing role in supplementing natural production. Hence, about 60 per cent of the Lower Columbia River Fishery Program funds have been earmarked for building new or modernizing old hatcheries. They have, over the last six years, released to the river about 60,000,000 young sturdy fish annually. In August or September of the third year after release, thousands of fish from each annual crop unerringly return to the hatchery of rearing and release to be stripped of their eggs and milt and start another generation. FISH FARMING Fish farming consists of the rearing of salmon under controlled conditions designed to ensure maximum reproduction of fish. This means of propagation has very recently been undertaken intensively in the state of Washington. It has been practised for many centuries in other areas of the world where intensive concentrations of population have necessitated the production of large scale food supplies. The efforts in Washington state in raising salmon in farms have proven to be extremely successful. Although it is admittedly not a complete or final answer to the problem of diminishing fish runs, it certainly provides a partial solution by its ability to raise millions of salmon at extremely low cost. It offers an opportunity for selective breeding and hybridization of salmon to overcome the problem of the encroachment of civilization on natural breeding grounds. We may never see the day when we can ignore dams and pollution, but we know now that we can make up for resulting fish loss, at least partially, by fish farming. Washington state is working towards a production of 100,000,000 eggs per year and looking forward to the day when they can take 500,000,000 eggs per year. Japan has, in the last ten years, increased their yearly plant of eggs from 175,000,000 to 500,000,000 eggs, and today the commercial catch of Japan is based on 80 per cent hatchery- produced fish. Federal hatcheries in eastern Canada produced 20,000,000 Atlantic salmon fingerlings in the year 1956 to 1957. In Washington state 1,200 acres of salt and fresh water fish farms have been put into operation and many others are planned. Lake Ozette on the Olympic peninsula is now being brought into large scale production. The seeding of 75,000,- 000 fish is anticipated in this lake alone in any one year. Despite the great demonstrated advantages of fish farming, no extensive program has been developed in this province in very great abundance. Suggesting the contribution fish farming can make, Dr. Henry G. Houghton, director of Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Laboratory of Earth's Sciences, said recently: "To feed the world's increasing population, practical methods are needed for large scale fish farming. A sudden advance in this field could mean incalculable advantage for the nation which scores it." CONCLUSIONS The encroachment of civilization in its many aspects has until recently resulted in serious depletion of the salmon resources of the Columbia river. Of these aspects the one which has received the most attention is the installation of dams and their accompanying reservoirs. Such installations, however, cannot be held entirely responsible for all, or even most, of the losses which have occurred. Predators, over-fishing, logging operations and pollution all took their toll prior to the construction of any dam on the Columbia river. Changes in environmental conditions resulting from dam construction may in some cases be harmful and other cases beneficial to fish. Intensive studies of effects of power dams on fish have been carried out in the Pacific northwest United States and have resulted in principles of management which permit increased production. PROVIDE ADDITIONAL TOOLS There is little doubt that propagation of salmon by natural spawning, with its random and inefficient yearly production, cannot compete with the inroads of civilization in British Columbia. This resource can only be maintained and increased in quantity with additional tools that must be provided by man. These tools are artificial propagation, control of migration, and development of larger fish, and disease- and pollution-resistant fish. These tools are not suggested as alternatives but rather as supplements to natural spawning. The fisheries agencies should make every effort, and in fact supply leadership, to ensure the fullest possible resource development of the Fraser and other river basins in the province. By adopting a more realistic and dynamic approach to fish management, we could have not only more fish, but also the benefits of low cost power, flood control, navigation and irrigation. It is only with total resource development that optimum production in the salmon species can be obtained. 19 U.B.C. ALUMNI CHRONICLE AN ARCHITECT DISCUSSES By ROY JESSIMAN The architects responsible for designing U.B.C.'s buildings have been challenged constantly by the grandeur of the site chosen for the University. It has been no easy task to match, in terms of buildings, the imagination and vision which the founders of U.B.C. exercised in locating the University on Point Grey. Some of the grandeur of the site must have rubbed off on the early architects because the original plan was conceived in the "grand manner" and this basis for development has proved itself through time and use. U.B.C.'s founders chose the firm of Sharp and Thompson (now Thompson, Berwick and Pratt) as University architects in 1912 as the result of a national competition. The original plan shows the main mall running north and south on high ROY JESSIMAN, M.R.A.I.C, is a partner in the firm of Thompson, Berwick and Pratt, University architects. He is a graduate of the University of Manitoba where he received his bachelor of architecture degree in 1951. ground with the east and west malls parallel to it. Crossing these malls at fixed intervals are various boulevards and the result is a series of quadrangles. This could be described as a "traditional" approach which has been used to great effect at Oxford and Harvard universities. This "grand plan" has formed the basis for the development of the campus. Over the intervening years however our changing habits of life and the post-war growth of the University have forced revisions. The University will probably have 15,000 or more students enrolled by 1966-67 and it is estimated that parking space for 6800 cars will be required. (At present the enrolment is almost 10,000 and space for nearly 4000 cars is provided.) These factors could not be foreseen in 1912 when the original plan was prepared. The new development plan accepted in principle by the University last year calls for the elimination of all vehicular traffic from 120 acres at the heart of the campus to create a "walking campus." Parking space for automobiles will be provided on the outskirts of this central area and access to U.B.C. ALUMNI CHRONICLE 20 A GUIDE TO CAMPUS CONSTRUCTION A B C D E F G H I J K L M CAREY HALL—Site of new Baptist College. Construction of the building will start in the near future. Dormitories will house 40 students. FACULTY CLUB—Funds for the construction of this $600,000 building were donated by Mr. and Mrs. Leon Koerner. Opening dale is mid-June. FINE ARTS CENTRE)—Architects are preparing plans for a group of buildings to house architecture, music, anthropological museum, small theatre and art gallery. LIBRARY ADDITION — New wing to the existing library will double present seating capacity and provide additional stack space. Cost—$1,500,000. MEDICAL SCIENCES—Site of the new development for medicine. Construction will start this fall on the $2,000,000 centre opposite War Memorial gym. PHARMACY WING—Architects are now preparing plans for a $500,000 addition to the Wesbrook building. NEW PARKING LOT—One of two perimeter parking lots approved for construction. Marks beginning of plan to place all parking on campus outskirts. BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES ADDITION —Now almost complete. Will be open for beginning of 1959-60 session. Cost is $920,000. CHEMISTRY ADDITION—Will also be open at beginning of 1959-60 session. Built at cost of $1,324,000. ADMINISTRATION BUILDING ADDITION — New floor on present building will provide space for business office and registrar. INTERNATIONAL HOUSE—Opened this year by Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt as social centre for foreign students. Rotary Club gave $150,000 toward cost. JAPANESE GARDEN—New, authentic Japanese garden now being planned by visiting architect. Old garden has been partly used for residence development. RESIDENCE DEVELOPMENT—First two units open soon. Eventually will comprise nine dormitory units and central dining building. Cost—$2,000,000. THE BUILDING PROGRAM these parking lots will be provided by a perimeter road system. This solution—straightforward, functional and aesthetic—is the core of the new development plan. The object in developing perimeter parking lots and a surrounding road system is to conserve and develop the heart of the campus as a teaching area embodying inner green spaces, quadrangles and court yards as gardens and places of relaxation for both students and staff. This plan gives a modern cast to a traditional approach. The beginnings of this plan have already been approved by the board of governors. They recently approved construction of the first of the new parking lots, one south of the Wesbrook building, the other off the west mall, to bring parking accommodation to 4000 cars. The teaching campus of the future then will be the area between the east and west malls and from Marine Drive on the north to Agronomy road on the south. Most of this area would be made up of the "walking campus" with the main mall free of vehicular traffic and designated as a pedestrian walkway. The architecture of future buildings is another aspect of the development plan which should be of interest to graduates. Shortly after the 1912 development plan was approved construction began on U.B.C.'s first permanent buildings—the science building (now known as the chemistry building) and the central unit of the library. They are a variation of the style known as "collegiate gothic" and are constructed of reinforced concrete with cut granite facing. The pattern of living in the early part of this century was a great deal different from our way of life today but I think it is agreed that these first buildings retain a handsome appearance and have a feeling of strength and solidity about them. It was not until the late '40s that additional permanent buildings could be constructed on the campus. These structures —the applied science building, the south wing of the library and the Wesbrook building—use materials which differ from the early buildings. Many persons have questioned this development and I will attempt to answer their objections by asking two questions which I hope contain their own answer. 1. Should we, living in the middle of the 20th century, use 21 U.B.C. ALUMNI CHRONICLE IP* New medical sciences center (above) will consist of three separate buildings. At top right of artist's sketch above is Wesbrook building showing new wing to south for pharmacy. (Closeup of new pharmacy wing is shown in artist's sketch below). Three buildings of medical development are shown grouped around fourth projected unit ot be constructed in future. Building to left will house anatomy and Cancer Research Institute. Four-storey unit on opposite side of projected building will house pharmacology, pathology and materials associated with the past, even if we accept the romantic virtue of the material? 2. Are we prepared to accept the price which we would now have to pay for what is considered an antiquated "skin?" (By "skin" I mean the outer covering of the building). The services of qualified stone masons are difficult to obtain today and cut stone facing has become a luxury in terms of building materials. As a result the buildings of the late '40s and early '50s appear in a "skin" of concrete rather than cut stone. These buildings have large areas of exposed concrete and regular and extensive cleaning and painting are required to maintain a satisfying appearance. To offset these difficulties new materials are being used in the current building program. Two of the materials which I might mention are the grey glazed brick used on many of the wall surfaces of the new Buchanan building and the procelain enamel steel panels which have been used to contrast with the glazed brick and provide subtleties of colour. The glazed brick has two virtues: 1. It is an impervious material with a high finish needing little or no maintenance, and, 2. In terms of colour and modular characteristics it is in sympathy with the granite facing of the library and the chemistry building. Another point which I might interject here is that the interior structure of the Buchanan building is very similar to the skeleton of the chemistry building. Buildings of the classroom type have a basic structure and the rhythm of columns in the Buchanan building has been used because this characteristic appears in other campus buildings. It should be emphasized that what I have said so far applies only to structures of the classroom type where a repetitive series of rooms or laboratories to a height of three, four or five stories is required. There are three other types of building which will probably become a part of the campus scene in the future. The first of these is the multi-storey "high rise" unit of the office block type where repetition is still desirable but on a smaller scale. We do not have a building of this type on the campus yet but a future administration structure would fit this category. U.B.C. ALUMNI CHRONICLE 22 t neurological research. Third unit will house physiology and biochemistry. Construction of new $2,800,000 center will start October 1. At bottom left is the first unit of U.B.C's new $2,000,000 /Marine drive residence development. Construction of new wing to library, shown in artists sketch at right, above, will begin in September. Additions to chemistry building (below, right) and biological sciences building (below) will open in September. Yet another type of building is the residence unit. And here we are confronted with quite different problems. What should a residence unit look like? Should it appear primarily domestic and, if the answer is yes, how do you express this fact in a four-storey building housing a hundred students? It is obvious that residences should not appear to be designed for lectures or office accommodation and in the development now taking shape on Marine drive some new features have been introduced. Each room in the new residences, for instance, will have a separate window. This contrasts with the sheet: glass effect which is a characteristic of the Buchanan (classroom type) building. And again, different materials have been used—local brick in the case of the residences—to create an atmosphere which will be a contrast to the hours a student will spend in academic pursuits. The fourth type of structure is the non-academic unit such as the War Memorial gymnasium or a future theatre or art gallery. (A new fine arts centre embodying a theatre, art gallery, anthropological museum and space for the schools of architecture and music is now on the architect's drawing boards. —Ed. Note.) The problem here is to design a structure which will add dynamics by contrasting with the other building types and at the same time accurately express the kind of activity taking place inside. To summarize, graduates can look forward to the day when U.B.C. will be a "walking campus" enclosed by a perimeter road system and ringed by a series of parking lots which will free the heart of the university from the visual vulgarity of vehicles. Increased interest will be engendered through variation of building types and unity achieved through the use of building materials, architectural proportion and landscaping. My only answer to the criticism of mixing types of buildings is this: so long as a structure is a competent expression of its time there is no good reason why buildings embodying different architectural forms cannot live side by side peacefully. U.B.C.'s early buildings are, I believe, competent expressions of their time and I hope that we are creating equally competent structures today. 23 U.B.C. ALUMNI CHRONICLE THE ADMINISTRATION The Chancellor The opening shot in the campaign to raise the 1960 operating grant for the University was fired by the chancellor, Dr. A. E. "Dal" Grauer, when he addressed the Insurance Agents Association of British Columbia in Victoria during March. He described the provincial government's fee-sharing scheme for first and second class students as "trail-blazing and forward-looking" but added that "it does not take the place of the operating grants necessary for the day-to-day efficient running of the University." In 1958 the increased federal grant and this year the $100 increase in student fees closed the gap, he said. "Next year, therefore, the University has every right to expect that the provincial legislature will provide a grant for the University's operating budget which, on top of the University's income from fees and other sources, will be adequate for the invaluable work that the University is doing for the province as a whole." The President A new body to control spending on higher education in B.C. was envisaged by President N. A. M. MacKenzie when he spoke recently to the Victoria branch of the Alumni Association. The new body would control the use and expenditure of public funds, he said, and would be "designed to avoid as far as possible inevitable political 'logrolling' and pressures." President MacKenzie said he believed the best plan would be an enlargement of the present Board of Governors. Alternatives would be a provincial university and college grants commission as in Great Britain or a board of higher education. The composition of this body would include representatives of Victoria College and Vancouver Island as well as the populous areas of the interior, the president added. "This board or commission should be non-political though the government should have, as now, some voice in its membership, and it should, as far as pos sible be made up of men and women who have had university experience and who understand the proper roles and functions of a modern university," he president said. "This Board," he continued, "would when funds were given it proceed to allocate the monies available as wisely as possible and, I might add that an appropriate formula should not be too difficult to work out." The president said this board should also decide about proposals for major additions to the offerings of any related institutions or branches. "I have in mind," he said, "the setting up of new faculties or of expensive departments, requiring a heavy investment in equipment and overhead. For instance, it would be absurd and wrong at the present time to duplicate most, if not all, of the professional faculties and schools operating at the University at Point Grey." The president began his speech by stating that he believed we should provide for our young people the best and the most in terms of educational opportunities that they as individuals are suited to and can benefit from and that we can afford. He said it continued to be his hope that Victoria College would grow and develop as the need arises and as facilities and financial help warrant. The president said he hoped Victoria College would remain and be a part of U.B.C. but that it should be autonomous in many respects with its own council and principal. "For the time being," the president said, "I would recommend that Victoria College should plan as soon as is wise and possible and I hope within five years at the most, to offer four years in the fields of arts and science, thus making it a fully developed liberal arts college or institution." NEW FRONTIERS U.N. Training Center A regional training centre for recipients of United Nations fellowships and scholarships was established at U.B.C. on June 1st, under a tripartite agreement between the United Nations, the DR. ALBERT LEPAWSKY Heads U.N. Center government of Canada and the University of British Columbia. The centre will supervise the scholars and fellows assigned to it under the U.N.'s technical assistance program. The tripartite agreement was worked out by Dr. Hugh Keenleyside, formerly director of the technical assistance program of the United Nations and now the U.N.'s under-secretary for public administration and head of its executive operations service, which provides international civil servants to under-developed countries. Recipients of U.N. fellowships and scholarships will report to the U.B.C. centre where they will formulate their program with the staff of the centre and appropriate U.B.C. professors before beginning university or in-service training in business or government in the four western Canadian provinces or the western United States. Those awarded U.N. fellowships and scholarships are drawn from government and industry in developing countries and require advanced training in established industrial and governmental agencies. In addition to supervisory and placement work officials of the centre will, in cooperation with the university, organ- U. B. C. ALUMNI CHRONICLE 24 ize special courses, training institutes and seminars in fields in which a particular need may exist. The U.N. will provide a director and an administrative officer for the centre and will be responsible for fellowship travel, stipends and for university and other fees. Director of the centre will be Dr. Albert Lepawsky, of the department of political science at the University of California. He is a graduate of the University of Chicago, where he obtained his bachelor and doctoral degrees, and has also studied at the London School of Economics and the University of Berlin. Dr. Lepawsky said B.C. was chosen as the site of the centre because of the remarkable population and economic expansion in western Canada and the U.S. during the past 50 years. The government and business activities in the area are of great interest to experts from abroad who are concerned with resource development projects, regional planning, multi-purpose schemes and development corporations, he said. Other factors in the choice of western North America as the site for the centre are the advances made in social welfare programs and the valuable facilities for in-service training in public administration, according to Dr. Lepawsky. CONSTRUCTION Four New Projects U.B.C.'s architects have been asked to prepare preliminary drawings for a new fine arts center to incorporate space for the schools of music and architecture, as well as an anthropological museum a small theatre and an art gallery. The center will probably be made up of a group of buildings and will be located at the north end of the main campus parking lot opposite the new faculty club. New Garden A noted Japanese landscape architect Dr. W. H. Hickman, principal of Victoria College receives the key to the new addition to the Ewing building from Judge Joseph B. Clearihue, chairman of the Victoria College Council. The building was officially opened February 18 by the Hon. W. A. C Bennett, premier of B.C. VICTORIA COLLEGE Addition Opened The new addition to the Ewing Building at Victoria College was officially opened on February 18th by the Hon. W. A. C. Bennett, premier of the province of British Columbia. Among the distinguished guests present on this occasion were: the Hon. W. N. Chant, minister of public works; the Hon. Leslie R. Peterson, minister of education; Dr. J. F. K. English, deputy minister of education, and Mr. A. E. Webb, deputy minister of public works and chairman of the Victoria College joint planning committee. The Most Reverend Harold E. Sexton, D.D., the Lord Archbishop of British Columbia, read the prayer of dedication and Mr. Bennett cut the ribbon and declared the addition officially opened. The new addition, which consists of a new floor on the Ewing building, contains two lecture rooms, a seminar room, three offices, and a new Union room. The present Union room in the basement is to be taken over by the Library and will increase reading room and stack space. Following the opening ceremonies a reception was held in the new Union room, and was attended by friends of the College, members of Victoria College Council, faculty members of Victoria College, and members of the Student's Council. has arrived at U.B.C. to develop an authentic Japanese garden on the campus. He is Kannosuke Mori, lecturer in landscape architecture at the college of horticulture at Chiba University, who was selected by the Japanese government to plan the new development on Marine drive adjacent to U.B.C.'s new $2 million residence development. The present Japanese garden on the campus, which contains a memorial to Dr. Inazo Nitobe, a Christian educator who died in B.C. during a visit in 1933, has been partly used for the new residence development. Three acres have been set aside for the new garden which will incorporate the memorial to Dr. Nitobe. Mr. Mori, who is working under the direction of Dr. John W. Neill, U.B.C.'s landscaping supervisor and associate director of the botanical garden, is now doing sketches for the garden and work is expected to start before he returns to Japan in two months. Dr. Neill said the Japanese-Canadian Citizens' Association has suggested that Japanese-Canadian gardeners in the Vancouver area should each contribute one day's work toward construction of the garden. He said the Association had formed a study group to meet with Dr. Mori who would instruct them in the care and maintenance of the garden. Dr. Neill said preliminary planning was one of the most important stages in the construction of the garden since the placement of rocks and the controlled growth of the plants have a symbolic meaning. New Building Plans for a $500,000 pharmacy building to provide classrooms, laboratories and office space for the Faculty of Pharmacy have also been approved by the Board of Governors. This faculty is presently housed in the biological sciences building. The new building will be situated on University boulevard, at the south end of the Wesbrook building, where the university hospital is located, and will be connected to it by corridor links on each floor. It will provide a total of 24,000 square feet. Working drawings are now being prepared by the university architects, Thompson, Berwick and Pratt, and tenders will be called late this summer. Two new parking lots, each providing space for 600 cars, have also been approved by the board. One lot will be off University boulevard, south of the Wesbrook building, and the other will be in the area west of the West Mall and the federal government buildings on Marine drive. The new parking lots are the first step in the long-term plan for perimeter parking on the campus. Eventually all parking areas will be on the edge of the teaching campus and there will be no vehicular traffic through it. The new areas will increase the university's parking accommodation to 4000 cars. 25 U. B. C. ALUMNI CHRONICLE GRANTS 'Living Room Learning' The University of British Columbia has been awarded a special $5,000 grant from the Fund for Adult Education. Purpose of the grant is to develop a leadership training program to further the development of study-discussion programs now being offered by the U.B.C. extension department. It will augment a three year grant made in 1957 by the Fund for Adult Education to the University for the purpose of establishing and experimenting with a program in the liberal arts. In its first one and a half years of operation this program has organized 90 study-discussion groups involving more than 1,100 participants. Under the theme of "Living Room Learning," these groups have been organized in a number of B.C. communities—Vancouver, North Vancouver, West Vancouver, Burnaby, New Westminster, Whalley, White Rock, Langley, Haney, Courtenay, Comox, Powell River, Prince George and Victoria. These groups are operated with the help of discussion leaders who are recruited from the local community and trained by the University extension department. The new leadership training program will be administered by Knute Buttedahl. who is supervisor of study-discussion programs for the University extension department. The program will take one year to complete and the first phase will start within a few weeks. Medical Research The University of British Columbia has received two federal grants to assist in research projects. A grant of $9,470 was made available by the department of national health and welfare to assist in a long-range study of high blood pressure, its causes, natural progress and probable results. Dr. Kenneth A. Evelyn, professor of medicine, is directing the research aimed at improving standards of diagnosis of high blood pressure and more effective methods of treatment. A second grant of $5,329 was given to assist U.B.C. researchers, headed by Dr. H. E. Taylor of the university's pathology department, to continue a study of connective tissue metabolism. This study includes investigation of such metabolic processes as rheumatoid diseases. DEVELOPMENT FUND For The Future A U.B.C. Development Council has been formed to supervise future solicitation of funds for the University, President N. A. M. MacKenzie has announced. Objectives of the Council are to coordinate the University's fund raising programs, to assist in U.B.C.'s public relations, stimulate the interest of alumni and friends in U.B.C.'s development, and to study U.B.C.'s needs and recom mend for adoption programs involving public support. The Council will be composed of members of the Board of Governors, Senate, faculty, alumni and students. Alumni representatives appointed to the Council are W. T. Brown, Mark Collins and Don Miller. Faculty on the Council are Professor John Deutsch, Dean Walter Gage and Dean Gordon Shrum. Senate representatives are Hon. J. V. Clyne and J. M. Buchanan. The Board of Governors will be represented by Mrs. F. M. Ross and Walter C. Koerner, while students will be represented by the current A.M.S. president. Council chairman is Dr. MacKenzie. The Council will have a number of standing committees which will be responsible for appeals in specific areas such as alumni annual giving, corporative giving, commemorative gifts and bequests, wills and trusts. Mr. Aubrey Roberts will continue as director of the U.B.C. Development Fund, which now stands at $8,535.00. GIFTS GEORGE WOODCOCK edits literature review PUBLICATIONS Two Magazines Two new publications, both edited by members of U.B.C.'s English department, will make their appearance in September. Assistant professor George Woodcock will edit the University's first official quarterly of review and criticism entitled Canadian Literature. The journal will print studies of established and lesser- known writers, essays on new writers and current literary movements, articles by poets, novelists and dramatists on their own arts, and discussions of Canadian writing by English, French and American critics. Canadian Literature will also print articles on children's books and the role of literature in education, review all current books of literary interest and pub- New Bell Tower St. Andrew's Hall at the University of British Columbia has a new 30-foot bell tower and bell thanks to the generosity of one of the University's earliest graduates. Miss Annie Graham Hill, of New Westminster, who graduated from U.B.C. in 1920, donated funds to purchase the bell and to build the bell tower, which is dedicated to the memory of her parents and stepmother. Her father was Arthur E. B. Hill, a former B.C. land surveyor and a pioneer civil engineer. The Reverend John A. Ross, rector of St. Andrew's Hall, dedicated the tower at ceremonies on December 28 attended by students and friends of Miss Hill. Miss Hill unveiled a memorial plaque attached to the tower and received the key to the rope box. She, in turn, presented the key to Mr. Justice A. M. Manson, chairman of the board of management of St. Andrew's Hall. JAN de BRUYN edits 'Prism' lish an annual bibliography of Canadian literature. The second quarterly, entitled Prism, will be edited by assistant professor Jan de Bruyn. and is described as "a magazine of contemporary writing." It will print stories, plays, poems and essays and will attempt to convey the current vigour of B.C. writing, say the editors. The magazine plans to pay its contributors in order that readers may read the best an author has to offer. "We will make no concessions to Mrs. Grundy," according to editor de Bruyn. "We aim to be stimulating, provocative and controversial." Both magazines are charging $3 a year for subscriptions. Subscriptions for Prism should be sent to Mr. de Bruyn at 2862 Highbury, Vancouver 8, and for Canadian Literature to Mr. I. Bell, U.B.C. library. U.B.C.

Dr. William Chase, a graduate of McGill University and the University of Chicago, will operate the instrument in U.B.C.'s pathology department. STATISTICS Record Enrolment A total of 9950 students enrolled for the 1958-59 winter session at U.B.C. according to figures released by J. E. A. Parnall, U.B.C.'s registrar. The student body was made up of 7134 men (71.7 per cent) and 2816 women (28.3 per cent). U.B.C.'s largest faculty is arts and science with 4913 students registered followed by education with 1445 students and engineering with 1409. Enrolment figures for other faculties are: agriculture, 156; law, 252; pharm- NO NEWS IS GOOD NEWS By DAVID BROCK STRIP COURSE ADDED At the University of Upper California, with its half-million students and fifty thousand professors, it is no wonder that a special team of investigators must work full time at keeping track of new courses. This team is a well-blended one and consists of explorers, chartered accountants, clairvoyants, and the Professor of Evidence. Each issue of the university catalogue, which is revised weekly, is out of date before it is printed. Last week the team discovered that the university has for some time been giving a course in drawing comic strips. When told of this discovery, genial President Frederick "Fred" Transom twinkled: "Well, the comics are part of our Way of Life. It wouldn't be very sincere or scientific to ignore them." RICH SOURCE AWAITS DEVELOPMENT "Why blame advertising for giving people what they want?" said Dean Conrad San Quentin, beloved head of the beloved Faculty of Advertising at beloved Whottah State. "Con", as he is fondly known throughout Ad-land, says the seven basic human needs are to commit the seven deadly sins. "All an ad-man can do is to help prevent frustration here. What's so terrible about that? He helps people to be natural, that's all." Con feels modern advertising-in-depth may be neglecting the natural urge towards anger. "By and large, we are doing fine with envy, covetousness, pride, gluttony, lechery, and sloth. But ire is the Unknown Continent, as yet. Why don't the Madison Men send a few missionaries?" S.B.N. OPENS The University of Boffin Land announces the opening of its new School of Basic Needs, to be headed (or do we mean headed-up?) by Dr. Kingsley Quade. until now the Professor of Bingo in the Department of Human Recreation. "I intend to thrash this thing out very slowly," declared beloved balding Dr. Quade, 27. "For the first year, we will teach only the four rock- bottom contemporary basic needs. I call these the four-Hi Needs. They are Hygiene, Highways, Hi-Fi, and Hawaii." Asked if Debt and Security are not basic needs of to-day, Dr. Quade replied quickly "Yes, of course. But you get a lot of each with the Four Hi's." Noted, genial Dr. Quade stressed that a university is a miniature of our way of life. "If our way of life gets worse," he stressed, "then so must the universities. To do otherwise would be dishonest and smack of the ivory tower." PREVENTING ULCERS A survey conducted by the University of Ellef Ringnes Island reveals that while 17.6% of the population worries intensely about never having been to university, only 1.3% worries about having been to university. Therefore, the man or woman who has been to university has only one- thirteenth the chance of getting ulcers from this particular subject. The survey was under the personal supervision of Dr. Helmut Krebs, long acknowledged to be monarch of all he surveys, and hence known to his friends as King Krebs. "King" is the man who devised the Krebs Scale for measuring degrees of anxiety. acy, 125; medicine, 213; forestry, 140; commerce, 597, and graduate studies. 571. Other figures released by John F. McLean, head of U.B.C.'s counselling services, show that 1182 students are married and 605 of them have 1059 children. Thirty-seven students have four or more children, 79 have three children, 185 have two and 304 have one child. During the summer of 1958, 6523 male students earned $5,644,400 or an average of $866 each. Women students numbering 2867 earned $960,500 or an average of $344 each during the same period. Approximately 11 per cent of U.B.C.'s student body are not Canadian citizens and come from such widely scattered points as the West Indies, Hong Kong. India, Ghana, Peru and Portugal. Foreign students represent in all about 65 countries. The majority of them will become Canadian citizens and many are already domiciled in British Columbia. A total of 1016 students received their final year of secondary education outside Canada and 780 are currently enrolled on student visas. In this group 244 say they will remain in Canada after graduation and approximately 400 claim they will return home after graduation. There are 634 B.C. students enrolled at universities in the United States and a further hundred are studying in Europe and other parts of the world. Commenting on these figures, U.B.C.'s president, Dr. N. A. M. MacKenzie, said "this interchange of scholars and young people is of major importance to our University, our country and the world. British Columbia is fortunate to have some of its sons and daughters gaining experience abroad to bring home with them while others come to live among us for a brief period. "When they go home, if we have treated them wisely and well, they will be our best ambassadors and friends. Without such interchange," he said, "the world has no prospect of co-existence, either competitive or cooperative." 27 U.B.C.

This is the age of speed . . . we find it in travel... in new manufacturing processes ... in "paper work". . . and in a multitude of ways to get things done faster ... and better. In most cases saving time can be an advantage, but there are exceptions. One exception is the planning of an investment program. Here, too much speed might be harmful. To prepare an investment program suited to your needs requires careful planning. Because each person's requirements are different, investment becomes a personal matter, a matter which should only be dealt with carefully and, preferably with the help of experienced people. Providing investment advice is an important part of our business. If you would like us to help you design an investment program ... or to select securities for your present program, we may be able to save time for you but, more important, we think we can help you do a better job. Experienced people in each of our offices will be happy to discuss your investment problems with you in person, or by mail, whichever is more convenient to you. A. E. Ames & Co.

'BUS' PHILLIPS Athletic Director This fall "Thunderbird" athletic teams will enter into full scale competition in the Western Canadian Intercollegiate Athletic Union, with the sister universities of Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba. U.B.C.'s move out of the Evergreen Intercollegiate Conference, after a ten-year membership, does not imply that we will sever our athletic relationships with the well-organized colleges in Washington, but rather that we will now intensify our efforts to develop Canadian intercollegiate competition wherever possible. In recent years we have played Alberta in basketball and hockey, and have competed in the Churchill Cup football game against McGill, Toronto and Western Ontario. The biggest step forward will be taken in football. At the time of writing this report plans are being completed to hold U.B.C.

STUDENT NEWS By SALLYE DELBRIDGE A.M.S. Public Relations Officer A "sacrilegious, blasphemous goon edition" are four words Students' Council doesn't want to hear for a long time. Following the March 26 goon edition of the Ubyssey, Students' Council at a special meeting suspended, for the first time in the history of the student newspaper, the entire staff and editorial board. Reason for this drastic action was the disgusting, crude and weak attempt of the entire edition to criticize and lampoon Christianity, the government and Mrs. Roosevelt. Intelligent cirticism is always welcome but Students' Council and the Faculty Council felt the Ubyssey had overstepped its privileges and powers and carried things just too far. Needless to say, downtown press and papers across Canada were quick to pick up the "good copy" giving U.B.C. more publicity than it had had all year, ending up with an editorial questioning the "need" for more money for "higher education." Councils, both student and faculty, met and met again, discussed, decided, interviewed those responsible and issued press releases to an eager press, with the result: that the staff's fun and frolicking ended with a special council edition, Summary of Sports Results — 1957 - 58 Sport Coach Manager Overall Record BASEBALL Frank Gnup John Dennison Won 6, Lost 1 BASKETBALL Jack Pomfret Arndt Erasmus Wayne Knight Won 11, Lost 16 Evergreen Conference Lost Totem Won 3, Lost 9 Tournament FOOTBALL Frank Gnup Bob Hindmarch Joe Dang Won 3, Lost 6 Lost Churchill Cup to McGill 9-6 CRICKET None Roland Bishop Won 11, Lost 8 Won Fyfe Smith Cup CROSS COUNTRY Peter Mullins John Minichiello 3rd in Pacific Northwest Cross Country 3rd in Spokane Defeated U. of Alta.

A Protest Earlier in the term solemn students protested the $100 fee increase by a mass demonstration on the campus blaming Premier Bennett for not raising U.B.C.'s operating grant sufficiently to avoid the increase. Students marched to the cairn, draped it with black academic gowns and placed a lighted "lamp of learning" on top. Student councillor George Feaver played the last post and Chuck Connaghan, past president, snuffed out the lamp with a fire extinguisher labelled "milk of human kindness—Social Credit style." Other placards bore slogans such as "Till debt do us part" and "Bennett can you spare a dime." Permission Refused Last March Chuck Connaghan, in a petition to the government, asked special leave to appear before the bar of the House in Victoria to discuss the inadequate grant to U.B.C. The privilege had only been granted once before and he was refused but was granted permission to address a few members of the cabinet. He and Pete Meekison, the new president, with two other students, took advantage of the opportunity and met for the second time this spring in Victoria to discuss U.B.C.'s plight. Committees Formed Last February, 52 constituency action committees were formed comprised of four students from each electoral district in the province. These groups were formed to help fight the fee increase battle. Throughout the summer months these students, who were well briefed before they left U.B.C. after exams, will be speaking to interested organizations and groups in their home towns through- t:4 hint to husbands: GIVE YOURSELF (AND YOUR WIFE) A YEAR 'ROUND DISHWASHING VACATION!

A Ubyssey which was published containing facts, graphs and supporting stories has been distributed along with other information by these students to press and radio as well as to interested groups. In the event of an election at the end of the summer the machinery would be already set up for an organized campaign. Another Councillor Students at the spring general meeting voted to add another member to the Students' Council. They were faced with the choice of either putting the editor of the Ubyssey off council or putting the co-ordinator of publications, a recent ly created position, in his place. A compromise was reached—the editor stayed and the co-ordinator was added, now making the total number of councillors 16. with three non-voting members. At press time of the spring edition of the Chronicle three elected positions remained to be filled on the Council. Major non-council positions went to Norm Gish, World University Service of Canada chairman; Theo Carroll, National Federation of Canadian University Students chairman; Mike Warren, Special Events chairman and Ruth Kidd and Charles Lancaster, co-chairman of the Academic Symposium.

Each of these famous brands is a British Columbia Product, known and respected throughout Canada as a quality seafood. Each is a household name, served and enjoyed all through the year.

ALUMNI CHRONICLE 38 ^LIVE BETTER^ Canadians, more than any other people, benefit from electric power. Abundant low-cost electricity is one of the important reasons for so many busy factories . . . greater production of goods . . . and better paying jobs. In offices, on farms, and in homes, everywhere, electric power makes life easier and more enjoyable. What Does LBE Mean to You? LBE stands for "Live Better . .. Electrically", and these words have a very real meaning behind them. In the home, for example, planned lighting brings new charm and cheerfulness to every room. Modern appliances :n the kitchen and laundry save time and toil. Other appliances contribute to our leisure and entertainment. Automatic heating and air conditioning add to our comfort. There probably isn't an area in your home that cannot be equipped electrically to give more convenience, more comfort, and more service. In home, office or factory the first essential is an up-to-date wiring system — to get the best results from the electrical products now in use, and provide for those you expect to acquire. Your local power company, your provincial Electric Service League, or any qualified electrical contractor will be glad to provide expert advice and help you to plan to "Live Better . . . Electrically". CANADIAN GENERAL ELECTRIC COMPANY LIMITED Manufacturers of equipment that generates, transmits and distributes electricity .. . and the wide variety of products that put it to work in home and industry. 39 u.

THIS KID IS GOING PLACES" And we like to think HBC is one of them— because we have provided services that make Mother's trip to our store more convenient. Here, she (or Dad) will find official Boy Scout equipment and uniforms for Junior . . . complete uniforms for boys and girls that attend private schools. Younger children will like to see the animals in our Pet department ... or find their storyland friends in Children's books. Every child will like the ice cream at the Seymour Buffet ... or free games in the toy department. Bring your children along this summer . . . we'll be glad to see them. wfaimy!^ (Eattqwng.
