Cover Picture At one of their "Back Mac" campaign rallies last spring, students listened to the president explain the university's position. This issue of the Chronicle brings the facts in greater detail to the alumni. 3 Working for a year or more would be a good prerequisite to entering university, says Katz LOGGER Faculty of Education, UBC The idea that a year or more in employment would be a desirable prerequisite for admission to university presupposes that there is a kind of education to be obtained in employment which would be of benefit to those seeking a university education. I believe the idea has particular if not general application. The student who comes to the university with a definite goal in mind, knows what the university has to offer, knows how to make use of all its resources, and knows the value of time, of effort, and of purpose. I believe this student would lose more than he would gain by spending a year in employment not associated with his purpose. In the main, a year in employment would be desirable for two classes of students, those with no clear idea and those with, at best, only a hazy idea of what their goals in life are. These students have not reached any conclusion as to the kind of work they want to do—if any—and for them a year or more in employment would be beneficial to enable them to arrive at some clear conception as to what the world's work is, and as to what their place in it might be. Beyond the question of purpose, there is the matter of the nature and character of work itself, and the part it can play in the education of the student. Certainly there are students who have had little experience in factory, office or field, and who, in consequence, lack an appreciation of the way in which work is actually done. For these students the realities of work provided by employment would be salutary in balancing a too sheltered set of ideals and imaginings with actual performance. Too often, and particularly in urban societies, some students fail to develop a sense of responsibility and direction which concrete tasks require for execution. In other instances, the halo effect which students associate with working with ideas and ideals in an academic institution precludes the realization that the successful performance of a task requires as much patience, perseverance, and planning with people as is required in working with objects and ideas. Although modern developments in science and technology have radically reduced the need for many kinds of semi-skilled and unskilled labor—the kinds of tasks usually reserved for part-time workers—there are still many kinds of work which can help the student find his bearings so far as his particular abilities, aptitudes, and interests are concerned. If the student is fortunate in finding work directly or indirectly related to his field of special interest then indeed he will benefit from learning about what are the most recent developments in his field, as for example in the case of a student planning to enter the field of engineering, or business. If the student in this hypothetical year of employment was not able to find work even remotely related to his special field, he might still benefit from the general knowledge acquired. In either instance he would have an opportunity to learn what he dislikes as well as what he likes. Again, although the rate at which changes are taking place in our society has increased markedly in the past quarter century, the point at which these changes are most dramatic is at the point of application. What happens in science may be significant, but what happens in society is the ultimate test. It is in employment that the student can see the reality of the ultimate applications of the findings of the laboratory. It is in employment that the uncertain student can benefit most from the realization of what change means in respect of how things are done as well as why they are done. It is one thing to speculate upon change; it is quite another to be involved in it. Modern developments in the social and physical sciences, and in the humanities have tended to alter some of the earlier conceptions of work. Modern technology has taken some of the drudgery out of work, as it has some of the stultifying routines. Modern psychology and psychiatry have revealed some of the therapeutic values of work as an exercise. Studies of (continued page 6) Stay in school, that's the best advice I can give, says Swangard HEADS Erwin Swangard Managing Editor, "The Sun" Stay in school! That's the best advice I can give to a young man or woman who wants to take a year or two out of school before continuing his or her education. It is easy to give up school for a year or two, but it is much tougher to go back. Too often I have seen young men and women take a year out of school and stay out forever. Some of them have been bright youngsters who could easily have completed a university degree program, but the lure of pocket money, a car, perhaps a girl friend has overcome the desire to learn and they have dropped out of school never to return. I believe that a youngster can get on-the-job experience and still continue with his studies. He can work weekends, or perhaps an evening or two a week. A number of university students work one or two days a week at The Sun. Their earnings keep them in pocket money, and, for those intending to make a career of journalism, they are getting valuable newspaper experience. At a time when more and more students must be encouraged to go on to university we must help young people to stick to their studies. This fact is made plain when we consider that of 100 students who start school in Vancouver only 18 go on to first-year university and only 11 of these go on to second year. Encouraging students to take time out to work would, in my estimation, only cut further into the number of students who go on to university. But perhaps the most important reason why young people should stay in school is that they should complete their formal education as quickly as possible so that their talents can be used at a time when their minds are most productive. Instead of slowing down the education process it must be speeded up. Dr. Gordon Shrum, chancellor of Simon Fraser University said recently that most Nobel prizewinning physicists received their awards for work they did between the ages of 28 and 32. These are considered to be man's peak productive years. However, Dr. Shrum pointed out that by the time a student gets his PhD and does post-doctoral studies in his field he is 30 years of age. Some of his most productive years have already been lost. Dr. Shrum said he hopes to get around this by allowing bright students to get through university more quickly, permitting them to complete their formal education when they are still in their mid-twenties so that society may get the full benefits of their productive talents. The old story that a student has to take a year or two out of university to get enough money to carry on does not, I believe, apply to-day. Adequate scholarships, bursaries and loans are available to-day to all good students and none need drop out because of lack of money. However, perhaps the university year could be rearranged into the quarter system which is now being developed widely in the U.S. A student can attend any three quarters and take the fourth off to work. This could cut down on the traditional summer scramble for jobs because it would allow the student to take a winter, fall or spring term off. But I wonder, too, just how academic the argument I am putting forward in this article is in the light of the changing concepts of education today. Perhaps we are too prone to look at today's educational system in the same way as we looked at education when we went to school, when, in fact, the world today is drastically different from the world in which we were educated. We know for certain that coming changes will make it again a totally different world in which our children will have to be brought up. Instead of worrying about whether a student should interrupt his education by going to work for a year or two, we should be worrying more about how his education is preparing him for a working world where his job is likely to be obsolete within a year or two. Our educa- (continued page 6) KATZ from page 4 from page 5 SWANGARD LOGGERHEADS individual and group dynamics have shown that value images derive from feelings of satisfaction in being useful and productive. These findings have all contributed to effecting a change in attitude toward work as work, and to its place in the scheme of human affairs. Whether or not work is considered in the context of social necessity or moral obligation, the place of work has changed over the centuries in direct proportion to changes in social organization and technological development. In effect, as social classes have melded, so has work moved up in the hierarchy of our value systems. At the same time, technological developments have demonstrated that work of whatever nature is valuable in itself. Nevertheless, we continue to distinguish between work which involves the muscles, and work which involves the mind, and attribute to the second a higher place than we do to the first. In essence students at some point have to recognize that work is a function of force rather than of form. Attitudes toward work have derived in part from the leisure class conception that work was menial and in a way denigrating. We haven't even in this day, escaped the feeling that work is contaminating of the aesthetic senses. And this despite the fact that work is the will in action. The proposition that a year or more in employment would be a desirable prerequisite for admission to university depends in the last analysis upon whether or not the student has learned to work by the time he applies to the university. It would seem, in the light of the foregoing examination, that unless a student, in the course of acquiring satisfactory standings in English, History, Mathematics, Science, and the like, has also acquired an understanding of, and a capacity for work, a year or more in employment would be indicated. tion no longer ends with a university degree or a high school diploma. We are now confronted with not only a new phenomenon but almost a new dimension in the process of education. The idea of continuing education, of continuous learning, often referred to as adult education has taken over as an equal partner with the elementary school, the high school and the university. Education has become a lifetime affair that ceases only with death. So, in effect, no matter when we get out of school our education must continue. In fact, we can no longer claim that we were educated in one particular school or one particular university. We were lucky if we merely learned how to learn and we are blessed with the supreme gift if we learned to love the process of learning. Unless this concept becomes firmly established in the minds of not only the educators and teachers but of everybody concerned, our schools and even our universities will become mere factories for obsolete people with obsolete minds. And while we may be able to afford obsolete machines, obsolete minds are a luxury our society cannot afford. Changes in our outlook and our approach to education have been coming fast; we must not be slow in adapting to those changes. Walter Lippman said not long ago: "The critical weakness of our society is that for the time being our people do not have great purposes which they are united in wanting to achieve. The public mood of the country is defensive—to hold and conserve, not to push forward and create. We talk about ourselves these days as if we were a complete society, one which has achieved its purposes and has no further great business to transact." We must get off the defensive!

The first, of course, was the story of the rowers who, through an uncompromising leader and young men who set high enough goals for themselves, reached world standard in spite of supposedly insurmountable obstacles. The second case is now in progress on the campus, as another demanding leader has set a world target for some young men who are pursuing it at considerable personal sacrifice. Father David Bauer, with his aim of winning the world and Olympic hockey title with college students instead of retread professionals, has evolved a truly audacious plan. For Canada to be represented abroad by citizens who are both hockey players and gentlemen is a departure that is likely to hike the unemployment rate alarmingly among European headline writers. Not since the early days of the sport—before the professionals ruined it with their greed—has Canada sent abroad such players as Father Bauer is now training, players who were hand-picked for their idealism and spirit as much as they were for their skill on hockey skates. Make no mistake about it. Father Bauer is trying to prove something here, just as Frank Read attempted to prove—and succeeded—that Canadian young men were as good as any in the world if they were only prepared to work. There is a parallel here too with the rowers. Father Bauer wants only those players who will give of themselves for the national cause. When he came up with his plan—to gather some of Canada's outstanding college hockey players at UBC and train them together for the Olympics—he approached in Toronto the key players he had in mind. "I have no money available as yet." he told them. "I don't know if this is going to work. But would you be willing to walk to Vancouver if necessary to get to my training camp?" (continued page 8) from page 7 UBC coach works When the reply was "yes," Father Bauer decided, and only then, to go ahead. He had left hockey the year before this. He left it because he was dismayed and disillusioned with what the professionals had done to the game he loved. Father Bauer is of a famous hockey family. He gave up a beckoning professional career in the game to enter the priesthood, only to emerge as the brilliant coach of the proud hockey school of St. Michael's College in Toronto. He won a Canadian junior championship before he (and St. Mikes) dropped the sport, unhappy with the direction it was taking. It was after his transfer to St. Mark's College at UBC that he came up with the plan, a plan that he thinks might save a game that is degenerating into violence. IF a team of college students can win the Olympic title, he feels, Canadian spectators may once again be allowed to watch a skilful, swift style of play now existing only overseas, the colleges may be able to regain some autonomy in the NHL-dominated system and talented youngsters may be allowed to finish their education before being whisked away at 15 into the maw of the farm club system. Father Bauer is trying to restore the classic amateur ideal and attitude into the deadly serious business of Olympic hockey, a competition now distorted by rampant nationalism, press emotionalism and political pressures. To do it, he first considered 100 top young players. He wanted only those who would be proud to wear national colors abroad. Some eliminated themselves, by the simple expedient of inquiring what was in it for themselves. Others were not up to the Bauer standard of conduct. Eventually he invited 34 to training camp—to-day 20 of them survive. There is another parallel here with the rowers. The hockey players had to do their own carpentry work to provide living quarters. The abandoned wireless station on university land was repaired and expanded. The players, gathered from six provinces, now attend UBC. They've been playing an arduous exhibition schedule across Western Canada, preparing for the Olympics and impressing fans with a swift style of hockey that we have abandoned to the foreigners. Father Bauer drives them, inspires them. They worship him. They leave Vancouver the day after Christmas for a mission that could determine the future style of play in a once-great game in this country. First an exhibition tour of Europe—then the Olympics beginning January 29 in the beautiful Austrian town of Innsbruck. It's a tremendous challenge. If there's a lesson in this for the troubled world of UBC athletics, perhaps it is in the joy of daring to aim high enough. The young men are available; is someone underestimating their capacity? Three well-known UBC sports figures will play an important part in Canada's bid for the 1964 Olympic Games hockey championship. The Canadian team, made up of players now attending UBC, will leave Vancouver December 26. Manager of the team will be Dr. Bob Hindmarch of the physical education staff, a great all-round athlete in his student days in the early 50's. Team physician will be Dr. Jerry Nestman, former Thunderbird football star who has been active in alumni work. Trainer of the team will be Johnny Owen, a UBC institution known to every athlete who has nassed through the university in the last 30 years. UBC's new winter sports arena has contributed greatly to the Bauer experiment, for it is here that the Olympic hopefuls have been regularly working out. The new arena was officially christened during the Homecoming weekend when the Olympic team defeated the Canadian i^*-m,-49 Junior Champion Edmonton Oil Kings 2-0. The new building, located south of Agronomy Road, cost $500,000. Students and administration covered the cost in equal shares. The sports complex contains a hockey rink, six curling sheets, offices, snackbars, curling lounge and dressing rooms. Every man and his dog came to Homecoming.

Serving his first term in 1939-1942, Dr. Sage was re-elected in 1945, and thereafter was regularly returned by Convocation, completing eighteen years of continuous service in May of the present year. As we look back on his long career of teaching in this university, from 1918 to 1953 and for two further years after reaching retiral age, we sense a passing of the old order, a dramatic moment of completeness. His death has come in the year of transition, between the period of vigorous pioneering growth and an era of institutional expansion and change in higher education. Dr. Walter Noble Sage Born in London, Ontario, in 1888, Walter Sage was educated in both Canadian and English schools, and received his degrees from Oxford University and the University of Toronto. He lectured at Calgary College and at Queen's University, and at the age of thirty started his long association with the University of British Columbia, where for the last twenty years of his teaching career he was Head of the Department of History. His interest in the history of his adopted province began early, with an article in 1921 on "The Gold Colony of British Columbia." The interest became a scholar's passion, reflected in his fostering of regional studies and creation of new courses, in his active concern with historic sites and monuments, in the numerous historical associations he assisted or presided over, and in the steady output of books and articles that contributed to the historical knowledge of the Pacific Northwest. To him history, whether of the British Empire or of British Columbia, was a living study, absorbing for its revelation of human personality in action. It was this obvious enjoyment that made him a popular teacher, communicating his own pleasure in incident and anecdote, and delighted to discover and encourage a similar passion for history in the young. Generations of students at this university share the classroom memory of a burly figure shaking with infectious laughter while recalling the foibles of the great, or revealing an eager interest in the inter-relationships of character and event. That such memories persisted long after the days of undergraduate lectures, strengthened by the image of a man kindly and helpful in both student and community life, is evident in the unswerving loyalty shown him by Convocation. Tim Hollick-Kenyon, Director, and senior secretary, Eileen Warnock Trail to Tokyo- office serves you In may 1963 British Columbia's seventh regional conference on higher education was held in Trail. The year before Tokyo UBC Alumni Branch had its first meeting, with fourteen present. Those two events, physically widely separated, spiritually kissing-kin, are just illustrations of the Alumni Association at work. The Alumni Association. That's you, dear reader, and some 23,999 other graduates of UBC, graduation having automatically made you a member of the Association. You don't get, you won't get, any dues notices or membership card, because the Association operates through its fund-raising campaigns. You are a member whether you like it or not. We believe you like it, but may not know too much about it, so here's the story. It's you who provided Norman MacKenzie Alumni Scholarships of $300 each to help Terence Marion of Dawson Creek, Frances Guile of Kamloops, North, James Gyoba of Spuzzum, and thirty-nine other promising young students to come to the Point Grey and Victoria campuses this year. You did the same for a different forty-two last year, and the good work will go on through funds allocated from Alumni Annual Giving. A donor can earmark his donation for any of forty to forty-five different projects. Unallocated funds have gone to such objects as the President's alumni fund (which is used for special needs and emergency requests), the regional scholarships mentioned above, the library, athletics. Move to a new job in a strange city, and your first step after house hunting is to turn to page 42 of the Chronicle, that page with the repulsive small type, and find the name and address of your Branch contact. Now you are no longer a stranger in a strange land. At the top of that same page 42 are the names of the members of your Board of Management. Note the regional representatives on the Board. When any region organizes a university association (within which will be several branches), they may, once they are recognized, appoint a representative to the Board. Note also those ex officio members who are the Association's liaison with the student body. There are representatives for every degree and there are the three Senate representatives appointed by the Board, the Alumni liaison with the university administration. The Board of Management has the responsibility of carrying on the work of the Association. They meet quarterly. The executive committee is a very hardworking group that meets monthly or oftener if need be. On it are the president, the immediate past president, first, second and third vice-presidents and eight members-at-large. In the next issue of the Chronicle you will see a notice of the annual meeting of the Association—always held in May — and instructions on how to nominate a member for election to the Board of Management — an extremely simple procedure, incidentally. Only active members have the right to vote, but a very modest contribution to AAG gets any alumnus on the active list. In fact, under the by-laws anyone who has completed fifteen units of work at UBC may become a member of the Alumni Association. Another category is the community member, a highly valued addition to the alumni fellowship. Under the bylaws any person, not a graduate, who has demonstrated an active interest in the needs of higher education may be admitted to membership. There are as well life and honorary members. All these persons, it is expected, subscribe to the aims of the Association. Some of those aims are: to educate public opinion regarding the needs, the use and benefit of the University of British Columbia and education in general; to adopt a definite policy on questions affecting the University, education in the province, graduates of the University, and persons engaged in educational work in the province; to encourage interest among the graduates of the University in elections to the Senate of the University. These objects add up to a big order which, of course, is the thing that makes belonging to the Alumni Association worthwhile. The people who implement the policy and decisions of the Association and its Board of Management are to be found at Room 252, Brock Hall. The latch string is always out here for alumni who may care to drop around and visit on business, or just visit. The Director's Diary for this issue is taking the form of the following literary look at the inner sanctum of the Alumni Association. Denise LaCroix and Linda Bater 10 Chris Smith, Margrit Schnetz and Wendy Jay Alumni Staff always ready Your alumni office staff presently totals ten people, each with distinct and specific duties. This staff is maintained to serve the alumni and the University, and to carry out the policy and program laid down by the Board of Management of the Alumni Association. The staff is headed by the Alumni Director, who is appointed by the Board of Management, and carries out various duties as assigned by the Board. These involve the maintenance of contacts with Alumni, students, Faculty, and the University administration, and handling enquiries on a daily basis from alumni and alumni groups throughout the world. The director also visits alumni branches and regional groups throughout British Columbia, and arranges alumni meetings throughout North America and various other parts of the world. He is responsible to the Board for the general maintenance of the alumni program, and the operation of the Alumni Office. Your Assistant Director is a genial young man by the name of Gordon Thorn. Gordon, a graduate of UBC, with a slight detour to Maryland for an MBA, is responsible for the annual programs of the Association: Alumni Annual Giving, Homecoming, Reunions, Annual Meeting, plus the business affairs of the Chronicle magazine, and the various Faculty degree divisions. The Chronicle is presently produced by a full-time editor in the person of Miss Elizabeth Norcross, our most recent addition to the full-time staff. Miss Norcross has an extensive writing background, and this issue of the Chronicle is her debut as our editor. As you walk through the Alumni office door, the first person you meet is our senior secretary, Miss Eileen War- nock, who supervises the office staff as well as casual student staff that is hired for peak periods, meets and greets visitors to the office, and handles the multitude of details that constantly flow into your alumni office. Our bookkeeper, Mrs. Christine Smith, is the most senior employee in terms of length of service, having been with the Alumni office for 3'/4 years. Chris handles all aspects of the accounting, banking, financial statements and Doreen Bleackley Gordon Thorn, Assistant Director ordering for the office, and in her usual efficient Cockney manner ensures the smooth flow of tickets for the many alumni events that occur throughout the year. While the total annual Association budget is $64,625.00, nearly double this amount in revenue goes through the alumni books in a year, since many of the alumni activities are operated on a sustaining basis. Our stenographer is Miss Wendy Jay. who answers the 'phones and is kept very busy with the mass of letters, minutes, agendas and reports that are required to service the many alumni committees. Mrs. Margrit Schnetz, our Swiss representative on staff, is the fund clerk for Alumni Annual Giving, and is responsible for sending out all the AAG mailings, compilation of AAG's statistical analysis, and for seeing that all donations are acknowledged. Mrs. Doreen Bleackley combines two very important jobs: keeping the graduates' addresses up to date on the master alumni file, and assisting in the production of the Chronicle. In the Chronicle office, we maintain a biographical file of all available information on UBC grads, which is used constantly as a reference file by the office staff. In addition, we are engaged in a continuous attempt to keep our address records as up to date as possible by trying to trace "lost" graduates as time permits. The alumni office also houses the central mailing room for the total university and is staffed by Mrs. Linda Bater and Mrs. Denise LaCroix, who ride herd on 90,000 addressograph plates for all University departments. It is from this office that all mailing runs—UBC Reports, Chronicles, Convocation ballots, notices of meetings, Extension courses, etc. are sent to interested people. These people are your alumni staff, who stand ready to help you at all times and answer any enquiries that you may have. They are a hard-working, dedicated group of people, and we commend them to you, as we commend to you the Association they serve. 1 1 There were golf tournaments for the ladies and for the men.

Student housing: an extra dimension Girls in rooms. 18 residence can lounge, read, gossip in the pyjama Student housing on campus is not just a matter of providing a roof for the student's head and balanced meals for his stomach; it's an extra dimension in university education. Stephen Leacock in one of his essays had this to say about his ideal university: ". . . The real thing for the student is the life and environment that surrounds him. All that he really learns he learns, in a sense, by the active operation of his own intellect and not as the passive recipient of lectures. And for this active operation what he really needs most is the continued and intimate contact with his fellows. Students must live together and eat together, talk and smoke together. Experience shows that that is how their minds really grow. And they must live together in a rational and comfortable way ..." With that as their philosophy, Housing Director John Haar and Dean of Women Helen McCrae are trying to make student housing on campus provide an atmosphere as educative as the classroom, the laboratory and the library. Two thousand UBC students breathe this atmosphere. The physical framework for it is provided by the permanent dormitories plus the well-worn army huts of Fort Camp and Acadia. The huts have the advantage of cheapness. The residences—well, let's take a tour. The newest are on the Lower Mall, four-storey structures of warm brick. Here we can go over a women's residence. The students' rooms, some single some double, are light and bright, and are furnished to serve as both comfortable bedrooms and studies. On the ground floor is a spacious reception area with a kitchenette off, largely ignored in favour of the small "pyjama rooms" on each floor. "Socializing is hori- zontal," Dean McCrae points out, and furthermore, the girls like to be crowded. Each of these small lounges has its tiny kitchen where bedtime snacks can be prepared. The men's residences are comparable, except for the individual floor lounges which no one thought of for them. When more residences are built, they'll have "bull rooms" as the masculine equivalent of the women's pyjama rooms. In the main, both sexes prefer single bedrooms, except for the frosh who like a roommate, and, in John Haar's opinion, are the better for one. For economic reasons, more of the seniors will have to put up with company in the new residences. Each residence has its own "government", composed of a don, a resident fellow who is a scholarship student, and a students' committee. Serving both men's and women's dormitories is the Commons Block which has men's and women's separate lounges, to which they may bring visitors of the opposite sex, a recreation hall in the basement, and a long, pleasant, upper floor room which is the cafeteria. A toast room for late breakfasters opens off it. On the main floor is a canteen which carries just about everything in the way of iktas that a student in residence might require, from bromo-seltzer to nylons. Fort and Acadia, which many students have to prefer for financial reasons, have recently acquired fairly good lounges. For married couples there is some minimal provision left over from the days of the veterans, 226 suites, twenty-live of them permanent, which are rented to junior faculty, graduate students and undergraduates, in about equal thirds. There we have the bricks and mortar of student housing on campus. What happens within the walls that is so special for the students so housed? First of all, they come from out-of-town homes. (Of the Vancouver students who apply, a mere handful are admitted, and then only on medical or compassionate grounds.) This means that the residents meet and mix with students not only from many different parts of the province, but from many different countries, the first educational experience offered by the campus dormitories. Secondly, there is a policy of mixing up students of all years on every floor. "It is possible to reinforce adolescent behaviour and that is the major reason for mixing up the years," says Dean McCrae. The girls and boys just come up from high school copy their elders and drop their childish ways. The presence of older students also makes for stability, solves most disciplinary problems and many personal ones as well. The housing authorities are exploring other means of enriching the resident student's academic experience. At present, there are faculty dinners in all residential units, two a year generally, to which members of the faculty are invited with their wives for an informal evening with the students. It is planned also to introduce "residence associates." Members of the faculty will be invited to serve in this capacity, acceptance laying them open to invitations to coffee, lunch, or any other occasion, including pre-exam cram sessions (surely a work of supererogation!), with a view to strengthening academic relationships. Looking after the students-in-residence physically presents no particular difficulty. The problem is to develop the residences culturally and at the same time see that there is a good academic atmosphere. The cultural aspect is being fostered by the measures outlined above. The academic is taken care of by the ruling that only students with a clear academic record may expect the privilege of living in residence. The State of the University Committee reporting in 1960, said, "It was the strong conviction of your Committee that the most privileged person on the campus today is the student living in residence." What percentage, then, of our student body is so privileged? At present, 14%, a higher percentage for women, lower for men. John Haar's goal is 25%. The goal is a realizable one. The accompanying dream is to make residence on campus not just the privilege of the relatively well-heeled, but open also to the boy and girl just getting by. The residences, with all their desirable facilities, are paid for by the fees of the residents, the mortgage principal and interest as well as the operating costs. Provision of bursaries that would defray in part the board and lodging expenses of financially-straitened students is actually more than a dream with Mr. Haar; it is part of his goal. Leacock's ideal university may yet be open at UBC without money barriers. 19 Canadian, American universities — they're not that different by Dr. A. N. MacDonald, Department of History, University of B. C. Recenty I ran through the 1963-64 calendar of one of California's four-year state colleges and found the following courses offered for credit: Industrial Arts 129: Automotive Systems Repair Procedures, Business Education 182: Teaching Methods in Secretarial Subjects, Health Education 90: Principles of Healthful Living, Journalism 17: Introduction to Photography, Criminology 5: Traffic, Recreation 160: Camp Management. Now it must be pointed out that this institution also offered a very large number of legitimate university courses. For all too many people, both in Canada and elsewhere, frothy superficial trade school courses such as those listed above symbolize advanced American education. From such evidence there is a tendency in Canada to belittle American universities. Canadians would agree that Harvard, Yale, Princeton and a few other elite institutions are "great" universities, but beyond this small handful, American universities are regarded as clearly inferior to the Canadian product. In this article I want to question such thinking, and suggest that there isn't as great a difference between American and Canadian universities as we would like to believe, but rather that advanced education in the United States and Canada is essentially similar. At last count the United States had over two thousand institutions of higher learning and undoubtedly they range from the world's best universities to the world's worst. There are about 700 liberal arts colleges, 200 teachers colleges, and over 600 junior colleges. Depending upon one's definition, there are somewhere between 150 and 500 universities. These institutions range in size from Goddard College in Vermont with 103 students to the University of California with over 44,000. A Princeton student pays a basic tuition fee of $1550 per year, while his counterpart at Berkeley, if he is a resident of the State of California, pays no tuition whatever. Canadian universities also show a great diversity, though the range is not as great as in the United States. Altogether we have about 50 universities, the best of them are not as good, and the worst are not as bad, as those in the U.S. We all know of McGill, Queen's, the University of Toronto, and UBC, with their big enrolments, large faculties, and nation-wide recognition. But how many of us could place Assumption University, Lakehead College, Mount Saint Vincent College, Laurentian University, Saint Dunstan's University or Sir George Williams University? It is pertinent to note that of forty-nine institutions listed in the 1962 edition of Canadian Universities and Colleges, twenty-one had enrolments of under 500. If comparisons of Canadian and American universities are to be meaningful at all, they have to be made between comparable institutions. The primary characteristic that indicates the similarity of Canadian and American universities is that both nations are firmly committed to the philosophy of university education for everyone who is capable of profiting from it. As one indication of this pattern, between 1910 and 1960 both American and Canadian populations have about doubled, but in 1960 American college enrolment was eight times, and Canadian enrolment six times, what it had been in 1910. By 1960, the U.S. had one college student for every 50 people in the total population, Canada one for every 120. By way of contrast, as of 1957, the ratio for the United Kingdom was one per 625. ". . . Concentration on quality is seen in the entrance requirements set by many Canadian universities. Access to higher education is being determined more and more on the basis oj merit. The best possible education for those of proven intellectual excellence is, in many institutions, favoured over higher education for as many as possible." — from a paper presented by the Very Rev. H. F. Legare to the Conference "Canada's Universities in a New Age." No one would dispute the fact that the idea of mass university education has entailed many problems, especially the key one of maintaining standards, but the United States and Canada seem to agree that educating only the elite is a luxury that can no longer be afforded. Another way in which Canadian and American universities are alike is that both feel the consequences of a change in the source of support. Traditionally, uni- 20 For all loo many people, bolh in Canada and elsewhere, frolhy superficial trade school courses symbolize advanced American education. . . . The United States had over two thousand institutions of higher learning and undoubtedly they range from the world's best universities to the world's worst. versities have relied on a variety of private funds, whether they be student fees, endowment incomes, gifts or grants. But this is no longer the case. To-day for example over half of the operating budgets of American universities come from taxes, and over two-thirds of all American college students are in public institutions. This trend has not gone as far in Canada as in the U.S., but we show the same basic pattern. In 1963, UBC received 36% of its operating funds from the provincial government and 25% from the federal government. The University got over 55% of its income from the provincial government and 16% from the federal in 1958, while Queen's, although it received no money from the provincial government, got approximately 40% of its total income from the federal government. This shift from private to public control entails critical consequences. Universities can no longer be as independent nor as indifferent to public wishes as they once were. Faculty members can insist that a university should be a place to train the mind or to develop the intellectual capacity of a student to the fullest, or even as a place to study something out of sheer curiosity. But to John Q. Public who must foot the bill, all this is a bit fuzzy. He sees the university as a training place for the accountants, physicians, school teachers and other specialists society requires. Such pressure has led to a rapid expansion of practical courses in Canadian and American universities, and this well established trend will undoubtedly continue. Another consequence of the increased dependence on public funds is that it tends to limit the academic freedom of the university community. On this critical issue, the Canadian record is distinctly better than that of the United States, but it must be added that there are some embarrassing inconsistencies to this generalization. Finally, Canadian and American universities have similar goals and face common problems. All universities worthy of the name are committed to the struggle for excellence, whether it be measured by raised admission standards, increased number of honours courses, or the establishment of PhD programs. The problems universities face are also universal. How do we maintain teaching effectiveness as enrol ments soar? Should we rely on graduate students to mark first year essays or handle group discussions? What changes should be made in the curriculum? How do we get and maintain a good staff if we can't meet competitive bids? Is the faculty playing the role it should in the government of the university? Are we meeting the needs of the gifted student? By the very nature of the problems facing all Canadian and American universities, UBC will find the coming years hectic ones. In concentrating on these problems, it is easy to overlook some of the very desirable conditions we enjoy at Point Grey. First of all, I would suggest that a basic respect for intellectual work exists at UBC. This climate of opinion, mood, call it what you will, is hard to define and harder to generate, but without it, university education is a farce. Student "Je pense que, logiquement, il vaudrait mieux supporter temporairement les inconvenients d'uni- versites surpeuplees desquelles, par selection severe, sortiront au bout de quelques annees les maitres de filiales de degagement plutot que d'attacher prematurement le titre d'universites a des institutions qui ne repondent pas a la conception fondamentale ..." —Paul Pirlot, University Affairs interests and activities are also a good indication of the character of a university and here, too, we have much to be thankful for. UBC is not controlled by Greek row fraternities, nor the football team, nor even the hockey team—so much the better. In his delightful book, Campus U.S.A., David Boroff came to the conclusion after visiting and examining a great number of American universities that all these institutions could be divided into two categories. Into the first category fell those institutions which did little more than prolong adolescence, with the students living in an isolated little world, far from any responsibilities or obligations. The second category of universities were those which represented a transition to adulthood, with adult responsibilities and opportunities. These categories apply to Canadian universities as well. There is no doubt that UBC falls into the second category and we all must do our best to see that it stays there. 21 mm Paul S. Plant New Opportunity for UBC Alumni The next sixteen pages of this special issue of the Chronicle contain UBC's plan to meet the "Challenge of Growth." This enclosure puts before you, for the first time, a plan for development at UBC. It's a two-fold program containing on one hand a three-year operating plan designed to bring financial support of UBC up to the national average and on the other hand a five-year capital plan for development of our campus, a plan in which certain priorities are established for construction of buildings. The problem of writing an editorial for this issue becomes much simpler than usual for it is essential that all alumni of UBC understand the significance of this scheme and know about their responsibilities for its implementation. Let's repeat once again, very briefly, the steps leading up to the publication of this plan. The Alumni Association concerned over the "State of the University" began calling for a royal commission or at least a study of the problems confronting higher education in this province. In time this was done, for the Macdonald Report pointed up some of the needs of and the crisis in higher education. The Provincial Government, acting upon recommendations within the Macdonald Report, passed legislation setting up a framework for development of new provincial universities. It then fell to the Board of Governors at UBC to draw up a program for development at UBC within the terms of reference established this year by the new Universities Act. For some time the Board of Governors at UBC have been under tremendous pressure from all constituents of UBC to give leadership and direction and to plan for the future growth expected at UBC. Presentation at this time of their plan demonstrates the earnest way in which they have carried out their responsibilities. It is interesting to recall that barely a year has passed since chaos and confusion confronted those responsible for direction of affairs in the field of higher education in this province. To-day, however, we have arrived at the point where a plan exists for UBC, a plan which embodies as a premise legislation that has created new universities and provided for an academic board and grants commission. (Alumni are awaiting with keen anticipation an early announcement by the Provincial Government that these two boards will soon be operating and appointments made to staff them.) Before explaining to alumni the significance of this report, it is a pleasure to compliment the Board of Governors and the administration of our university on the speed and dispatch with which this plan has been put forward. It is a courageous and forthright program. It clears away confusion about present support and points to the road ahead for UBC. Alumni have wanted action for some time. The Board of Management of the Alumni Association have wanted clarification from the University about objectives and the road ahead. Now that this plan is known, it is the responsibility of all alumni to help in its implementation. Each alumnus must be certain he understands the plan. It is essential to read the following 16 pages and become familiar with the three and the five-year program ahead for UBC. For the first time, for instance, the major sources of financial support are related to each other. For the first time, it can be noted that roughly two-thirds of all financial support for UBC comes from areas other than the Provincial Government. To implement this plan more contributions and more support must come from the Federal Government and from industry, commerce and other institutions and foundations interested in the welfare of UBC, as well as the Provincial Government. The proper exploitation of our province's most precious resource—her young people — will come when those who employ the graduates of UBC recognize that they, as employers, have some further responsibility for their education. The Board of Management of the UBC Alumni Association must begin planning immediately to help with the orientation of these supporting groups. Pressure upon the Provincial Government for increased allocations has been out of context to some extent with pressure for increased support from other areas. It is now possible, because of this plan, to establish a program to encourage more widespread financial endorsement for UBC. Each alumnus must also know what he can do to help. For now, after a long period wherein the Alumni Association called for action from others, the time has come to fulfill alumni responsibilities and take action. It is the job of alumni to sell this plan endorsed by the (continued page 35) 22 THE CHALLENGE OF GROWTH j «.SW '■?: ■it % AN OPEN LETTER TO THE ALUMNI The "crisis in higher education" is making headlines in many countries. This gentle phrase has been used to label a potential disaster. Unfortunately, like any catchphrase, it is easy to ignore. It fails to convey the full impact of a mounting emergency that affects not just the West, but the entire world. Crisis in higher education. What does this really mean to the University of British Columbia and to you- It means that our university must plan now if it is to continue fulfilling its responsibility for the development of higher education in this Province. This brief account tells how U.B.C. is planning to meet the urgent demands of tomorrow. Planning in quality - to improve the calibre of education in the face of today's explosion of knowledge. And planning in quantity - to provide that education for rapidly increasing numbers of students. These pages summarize our targets for tomorrow, both academic and financial. The requirements for operating the University are set forth for the next three years; the priorities in buildings for faculty and students cover a period of five years and both are related to the growth of the University for the next seven years. This, then is what the University of British Columbia must do to contend with tomorrow - and why it is everybody's business. ^jiiik^^ tHC POSt W3X DclDlCS Where did the crisis come from? One major factor is the soaring birth rate following World War II. During the next three or four years, these post-war "babies" will be entering college in a deluge. Today U.B.C. has 14,800 students. By 1966, that number will swell to 19,400. (U.B.C. will experience this 31% increase in spite of the Province's new program to provide other institutions for higher education.) Between now and 1970, the total B.C. students seeking education beyond high school will be 37,000 - if we can accommodate them. To do so, our Province must create more facilities for higher education in the next seven years than it has in all the years since Confederation. U.B.C. must assume its share of this load. Another crucial task for U.B.C. will be to educate the educators. Meeting the Province's anticipated school population increase in the next seven years will require 16,500 primary and secondary school teachers. Much of this demand must be met by U.B.C.'s Faculty of Education - the only large teacher-training facility in the Province. 1970-71 20,000_ 1966-67 19,400. 1964-65 16,500. 1963-64 14,800. each unit: 1,000 students •••• '%;l£2i|i|f"" the graduate school Here is the source * tomorrow's university teachers, scientists and specialists in business and industry: the guarantors of our future cultural and economic well-being. More and more, every avenue of modern society demands the knowledge, background and training of the Ph.D. Yet producing even the number of Ph.D.'s required in educational institutions will represent an enormous challenge for Canadian universities in the years ahead. Between now and 1970, this country must acquire an additional 16,000 full-time university faculty members. Yet it currently graduates only about 300 Ph.D.s per year, and this is a desirable level of qualification for university teachers. The universities and colleges of British Columbia need nearly 200 new faculty members each year. In former years, more than two-fifths of our new faculty have come from the United States and Europe. But these sources are now faced with the same world-wide shortage that confronts B.C. and the rest of Canada. We will no longer be able to import faculty members in quantity. We must now grow our own. U.B.C.'s present graduate school enrolment is 1,128 students. That number should increase to 1,530 students by 1966, and to 3,000 by 1970. To stimulate this needed growth, the University plans to assign more than a million dollars for fellowships and teaching assistantships for graduate students in the year 1964. This sum will have to be increased in the years that follow. 1970-71 3,000. 5*V i> 1966-67 1,530_ s«*r 1963-64 1,128 cost of progress ,n education, as ■„ every other commodity, quantity and quality have their price. Right now, U.B.C. is losing ground. The average revenue from all sources for Canadian universities in 1962-63 is $1,797 per student. For U.B.C, this figure is $1,517. If our university is to meet the demands of quantity and still improve the quality of its education and research programs, it must compete financially with other universities. Our goal over a three-year period is straightforward: to achieve operating revenues equal to the national average, which by 1966 will be $2,200 per student. For several years, the principal income sources have been as follows: Government of British Columbia, ■■ 36%; student fees, £'■ 25%; Federal Government contributions, ««s 25%; and miscellaneous, including gifts and grants, ^M 14%.

The first is obvious: more teachers are needed to cope with surging numbers of undergraduates. The second reason may not be so apparent. The need for rapid growth in the graduate school poses special problems. Teaching at this level is even more demanding in terms of the relationship between faculty member and student. While faculty-to-student ratios of one to twelve or one to fifteen are usual for undergraduate teaching, the ratio of faculty members is often four to five times larger in a graduate school. U.B.C.'s overall ratio is one faculty member to seventeen students. (Many lectures by choice are given to large classes - over 500 in some instances - but this does not replace the need for discussion groups and laboratory supervision, which place heavy demands on the University for teachers.) To do nothing more than maintain this present inadequate ratio will require more than 100 new teachers each year. To strengthen graduate teaching will require another 50 teachers a year. 1964 1965 1966 19,420 STUDENTS PER YEAR REQUIRED FACULTY Because even dedicated teachers are people, adequate salary is an important factor in attracting qualified educators to a university. In today's world of faculty shortage, salaries are on the increase. They have been increasing by 3% per year in Canadian universities and by 5.8% in United States universities, where much of our competition exists. In the past year some Canadian universities have allocated amounts considerably exceeding 3% to salary increases. Last year, the average salary at U.B.C. in each academic rank was fourth to ninth (D.B.S.) among Canadian universities. Laval, McGill, Alberta, Toronto, Western Ontario, Saskatchewan and several other universities all had averages higher than those at U.B.C. in one or more ranks. The Board of Governors at U.B.C. has declared that "it is its continuing objective to provide salaries at least equal to those paid at any Canadian university". This is a realistic goal if U.B.C. is to remain among the leaders in Canada. It is crucial if U.B.C. is to compete successfully with universities in other countries. 5.8% CANADIAN UNIVERSITIES U.S.A. UNIVERSITIES LI1C llUlcHy One of the important attributes of a leading university is a first rate library. Such a library is a magnet for superior students - and superior faculty. U.B.C.'s library has been designed primarily to meet the needs of an undergraduate institution. Now the needs include graduate and professional schools. In recent years, all Canadian universities have been concerned over the inadequacies of their library collections. The Williams Report (1962) on the resources of Canadian university libraries showed that among Canadian libraries, on a scale in which Toronto's size equalled 100, McGill would be at 47, Laval 32, British Columbia 30, Queen's 20, and Montreal 19. But on a scale in which the size of Harvard's collections equalled 100, Toronto would be 25, and the University of British Columbia 8. Our scarcity of books is only one problem. Staff and physical facilities are also needed. In the light of our student population, our advanced stage of study in some fields and our graduate teaching and research needs - U.B.C.'s collections should be doubled to reach a total of about 1,200,000 volumes. To do this, our book budget must increase from $600,000 in 1964 to $1,000,000 in 1970. The library is the nerve centre especially for study and research in the humanities and social sciences. These vital areas of learning can thrive only if the library thrives. TORONTO 100 McGILL 47 U.B.C. 30 the computing centre The computing centre is becoming almost as important to the modern university as its library. As Canada's second university to establish a Computing Centre, U.B.C. installed its first computer in March 1957, at a cost of $70,000. Since that time twenty new computing centres have been established in other Canadian universities. A computer cuts across many fields of endeavor in a university. It is indispensable in both the natural and social sciences, the library, engineering, medical and biological sciences, mathematics and many other fields. Many students throughout the University obtain instruction in computing science. For the University of British Columbia to keep pace with developments in modern computing science will call for an additional $100,000 in 1964. The costs of supporting the computing centre with its present highly qualified staff will continue to rise as more and more needs develop for this modern technological tool. The benefits to the University and the community will far outweigh the costs. professional growth: three examples ENGINEERING. More than any other part of the University, the Faculty of Applied Science will be involved in the development of new science-oriented industries which already are beginning to change the complexion of Canada's economy. These progressive industries are dependent on the skills of specialists in such fields as electronics, metallurgy, moletronics, solid state physics, plastics, and many others. The future for Canada will be brighter with the development of strong and diversified secondary industries based on modern science. U.B.C. has on its Faculty a nucleus of outstanding engineers capable of stimulating the growth of twentieth century technology. The University must add to this nucleus and provide the buildings and equipment required to serve these increasing demands for engineering skills. HEALTH SCIENCES. Health sciences derive strength from many university departments such as sociology and psychology. But they can also impart their own unique contributions to the University as a whole. The entire field of behavioral sciences, which can be looked upon as the "new frontier" for the next fifty years of medicine, will progress faster through an intimate relationship between the Health Sciences and the rest of the University. The strength of many disciplines can then be brought to bear on problems of health. A Health Sciences Centre will also facilitate the integration of various health sciences personnel into efficient teams. Modern patient care requires physicians, dentists, specialists, nurses, various kinds of technicians, therapists and other ancillaries. A university hospital will serve as a centre for co-ordinating the efforts of all these groups. FORESTRY AND AGRICULTURE. As basic industries, forestry and agriculture profoundly affect the provincial and national welfare. The enormous value of forest production in B.C. equals or exceeds that in each of the states of Washington, Oregon and California. Yet, the average budgets for the forestry schools in these three states exceeds that of U.B.C. by more than five to one. Though the work of our Forestry faculty is sound, many areas important to the industry remain unexplored. The program must be strengthened and extended. Throughout its distinguished history at U.B.C. the Faculty of Agriculture has provided many important services to the community. Here, the emphasis in future must tend more and more to advanced study and research, to the education of the agricultural scientists. Both forestry and agriculture are acutely in need of new facilities for the developing programs. These are the goals for U.B.C. - improved undergraduate education for more students, a significant growth in the graduate school, the acquisition and retention of the best teachers, an adequate library for advanced study and research, a computing centre to meet the demands of modern scholars, and continuing improvement in professional education. The goals can be achieved by a society that believes that education is everybody's business. tne DUllQingS The current building targets for U.B.C. have been greatly influenced by the development of facilities elsewhere in the Province. What may well be the last of the undergraduate buildings, a multi-purpose class room, is now under construction. However, most graduate and professional education in British Columbia will still be available only at U.B.C. for many years to come. With this in mind, plans have now been laid for a building program to serve the graduate and the professional schools over the next five years. These academic buildings plus services such as heating plant, roads, power, etc. will require a building budget of at least 30 million dollars over the next 5 years. Social Work Engineering Biological Sciences & Oceanography Metallurgy Music Agriculture-Forestry Library Stacks Dentistry & Basic Sciences Multi-purpose Classrooms From page 22 New opportunity Board of Governors. The province and the country, as well as industry and commerce, must be told that UBC has a plan to meet the crisis of numbers in higher education. To some, the program may seem ambitious, but actually it sets out realistic and modest goals which must be achieved if the crisis of numbers in higher education in B.C. is to be resolved. The undeniable fact remains that the future students of UBC are now in our high schools. Early construction of Simon Fraser and enlargement of Victoria University are essential. No matter how quickly these two universities grow, though, they cannot grow so fast as to entirely offset the surge of numbers about to press upon UBC and the surge in demand for UBC's leadership in developing programs of post-graduate work, research and teaching. Since its inception, UBC in times of need has been able to count on its close friends. The Alumni Association thinks of itself as a close friend, and for this reason will activate its membership to sell this scheme across the province and elsewhere. People no longer need be confused about objectives at UBC. They have been stated in a plan entitled "The Challenge of Growth." Alumni, however, must now convince people that implementation of this plan through public and private support is essential if the record of academic achievement at UBC is to be maintained. Alumni Association President Alan M. Eyre Donovan F. Miller Mr. Justice Nemetz Franklin E. Walden Three graduates to UBC Senate, one to SFU AT ITS SEPTEMBER 19 MEETING, the Board of Management of the Alumni Association appointed the following to serve on the Senate of UBC: Alan M. Eyre, Donovan F. Miller, and Mr. Justice Nathan Nemetz. Before he had time to assume the senatorial hat as he puts it, Alan Eyre was appointed to the Board of Governors of Simon Fraser University and, therefore, resigned his UBC appointment. The Board of Management then appointed Franklin E. Walden in his place. The Senate has since elected three alumni to the Board of Governors of UBC—Stuart Keate, Donovan Miller and Mr. Justice Nathan Nemetz. It is interesting to note that of the eleven members of the Board of Governors, six are alumni. The appointments to Senate by the Board of Management of the Alumni Association are made under a special section of the new Universities Act, an indication of the importance attached to the Alumni Association's interest in university matters. The appointees carry into one of the major governing bodies of the university the views of the alumni. Briefly sketched, here is the organization structure at UBC. The Board of Governors consists of eleven people, six of whom are appointed by the Lieuten- ant-Governor-in-Council, three elected by Senate. The Chancellor is elected by Convocation and no longer is necessarily chairman of the Board. The 11th member is the President, who is appointed by the Board of Governors to this position. Under the new Act the Board has the power to elect its own chairman and did so this summer when Mrs. Ross stepped down as chairman and Mr. G. T. Cunningham, an honorary life member of the Alumni Association, took office. The government appointees are Mr. G. T. Cunningham, Mr. Leon Ladner, Mr. Walter C. Koerner, Mr. E. Gunderson, Mr. John E. Liersch, and Mr. Arthur Fouks. Senate, on the other hand, is a very large body, numbering nearly 80, most of whom are faculty people. Under the new Act no faculty person is eligible to the Board of Governors. Convocation elects 15 to Senate, one of whom is Mr. Keate. The Lieutenant-Governor- in-Council appoints 4 to Senate; each faculty is represented by the dean and one other. The Board of Management of the Alumni Association is empowered by the Act to appoint 3 to Senate. The President's office is the focal point for all administrative and academic matters. Recently Dean Perry has been appointed vice-president of the University to help with administrative affairs in areas such as fund raising and public relations. Essentially the Senate, chaired by the President, has ultimate responsibility for academic standards whereas the Board of Governors is responsible for the financing and operating of the University community. 35 Campus Planning $30 million plan \ ^ ' * ^, -'.* .'ill The Arts-Commerce building, one of first units of 5-year building plan, now under construction. The university has embarked on a five-year $30 million building programme which will result in nine new buildings. John Porter, who in June gave up a downtown architectural practice to become full-time physical planner at UBC, says the only thing that could hold up the programme would be the lack of funds from Victoria. The general planning policy is one leading toward a concentration of students in the area of the main mall and university boulevard, Porter said. "But this type of concentration has its problems. We've got to be careful we don't get so concentrated we use up the campus green areas. We've planned to avoid this and it's likely all the major green area will remain. "Nothing will be done with the library lawn or the lawn in front of the old arts building." Planned for 1964-65 are: • a multi-purpose arts-commerce building at the corner of the main mall and university boulevard; • an agriculture-forestry building on the extension of the main mall south; • a music building in the present fine arts complex just next to the faculty club on the north end of the main mall; • a dentistry building which will go on to Block A of the medical complex across from the memorial gym. For 1965-66: • the metallurgical section of the engineering complex along the extension of the main mall south. • a very substantial addition to the biological sciences building; For 1966-67: • completion of the engineering complex by the addition of civil and mechanical engineering sections. For 1967-68: • a new school of social work building. Now under construction are extensions to the newly- completed education building and the physics building, new residences and the start of the engineering complex. "And," says Porter, "if funds can be found from outside sources, the new $15 million teaching hospital will be started with the five-year plan." Porter said the campus plan will mean the "student" centre of the campus will be at the main mall and university boulevard. "At this point we shall have four buildings, education, biological science, physics, and the new arts- commerce complex, which in total will handle 14,000 students. "Our plan is to concentrate student population in this central area. Time and rainy weather make this desirable. "If the campus becomes too sprawling students will simply not have time to get from one class to another in the present seven-minute break. We've figured that a student can walk about 2,000 yards in that time and we hope to keep most of the major familities within a circle of a 2,000-yard diameter, centred roughly at the main mall and the boulevard." "There's not much question that we are going to need the facilities we have planned," Porter said. "Our undergraduate enrolment is almost certain to exceed the 17,500 limit now set, because Simon Fraser will not be open in time to drain off some of the student flow. So what we shall be faced with is a couple of years of overcrowding until the new university opens. 36 Even the completion of the proposed building plan will not alleviate this." One of the major headaches facing Porter is planning for campus parking. "In 1962-63 there were about 12,000 cars a day moving in and out of the campus. Most of these come in a one-hour period in the morning. By 1966-67 we estimate that number will be up to 18,500." There are three classes of parking needed on the campus, Porter said. The first is for visitors, the second for faculty and staff and the third for students. "One of our main objectives will be to encourage people coming to the campus to use an improved rapid transit system. "Hopefully we can get an express bus service cross-town along Broadway through to the university. If we can get such a system into operation we hope both faculty and students will use it and help solve the problem. "For faculty members who do bring their cars we're planning four faculty lots, two on each side of the 2,000-yard circle. This will enable most faculty members to get their cars fairly close to their offices. "Unfortunately student parking will be farthest from the campus. A new lot, just north of the present sports arena will have facilities for about 4,000 cars and should handle most of the student traffic." Porter said he hopes the lots will be paved and lighted. Porter has five campus architects working with him in the planning and is also assisted by a firm of non- university planners. These huts will go 45 UBC graduates in Provincial election A check of names in the September provincial general election showed that no fewer than forty-five UBC alumni engaged in the fray as candidates, probably the highest number of UBC graduates to take part in any provincial election. This number included three members of the faculty. In addition, there was one professor not on the alumni roll and one undergraduate offering to serve as legislators. Nineteen alumni representing the Liberals, ten the NDP, and eight each the Conservatives and Socreds sought to represent the electorate in 24 ridings, from Nanaimo & the Islands to Fernie, from Vancouver Centre to Skeena. As if it had been arranged by some gentleman's agreement, each of these parties had one candidate from the faculty. The lone undergraduate campaigner was a Progressive-Conservative. The successful candidates from the alumni were: A. B. Macdonald, BA '39; Dr. P. L. McGeer, BA '48, MD '58; The Hon. R. W. Bonner, BA '42, LLB '48; The Hon. L. R. Peterson, Q.C, LLB '49; Hunter Vogel, HA '58; D. D. Stupich, BSA '49; G. H. Dowding, LLB '51; H. C. McKay, LLB '51; R. J. Perrault, BA '47; A. B. Macfarlane, LLB '49; A. J. Gargrave, LLB '61; The Hon R. G. Williston, BA '40; D. L. Brothers, LLB '49. The one faculty candidate not an alumnus of UBC (and successful, too!) was Prof. R. R. Loffmark. Also putting up a fight, but unrewarded with election, were many other alumni. In the Vancouver and Lower Mainland area: J. J. Fedyk, Dr. H. L. Purdy, J. K. Macey, Dr. J. Norris, H. L. Huff, E. M. Bauder, W. R. Jack, R. E. Lester, R. C. Bray, W. F. H. Dronsfield, Earl J. Vance, Arthur Phillips, T. R. Berger, G. R. B. Coultas, N. Mussallem, A. J. Johnson. The rest of the province was not, perhaps, as well served by UBC graduates as the southwest corner. However, Vancouver Island heard from R. C. Weir, I. H. Stewart, D. P. Reimer, and Dr. A. C. McG. Ennals. In the north T. R. Cullinane, W. I. Donald, R. M. Toynbee, and W. A. McClellan carried the message of their parties to the voters. Alumni candidates in a number of other interior ridings, though not all, campaigned for election. The following names complete the list: B. O. S. Johnson, A. P. Dawe, T. W. Meagher, J. B. Varcoe. L. T. O'Neill, A. D. C. Washington, The Hon. E. Davie Fulton, J. W. Green. Homecoming queen Musa Lincke, Musa Lincke, a fine-featured, blue-eyed blonde has become UBC's Homecoming Queen. Miss Lincke, the 18 year-old Frosh queen beat out 16 other entries to win her title. Miss Lincke says her major hobby is painting, but she also enjoys fashion modelling for some of the Vancouver department stores. The two Homecoming princesses are Mary Lou Copp, Miss Medicine, and Maxine Rogers, Miss Acadia Camp. New school launched by B.C. companies In March of 1963 a number of British Columbia companies undertook to launch a work study school to serve the needs not only of this province but of all western Canada. The director is Associate Professor David C. Aird, BCom. '52, and the school is attached to the Faculty of Commerce and Business Administration. Russell Currie, the foremost authority on work study, has described it as "essentially a relentless, analytical and inquisitive approach to the use of manpower, materials and equipment coupled with a desire to apply the facts from such enquiry to improve existing methods by the elimination of waste in every form." A shorter definition is "organized common sense." The special emphasis of the B.C. Work Study School, in addition to general course co-ordination, will be concentrated along four lines: 1. Courses for senior work study analysts 2. Management appreciation programs 3. Special programs for individual industries and companies 4. Research. Initial financing of the school is by grants from local industry and contributions from the National Productivity Council and the Economic Council of Canada. In addition, fees from courses will contribute about 50% of the operating costs of the school. It is expected the major emphasis of the school will be the training and retraining of senior work study analysts. 37 Dr. A. E. (Ab) Richards, BA'23, winner of the Great Trekker award for 7963. 21 year-old student in Provincial election A UBC student was one of the youngest persons running in the past provincial election. Chris Thompson, who turned 21 in September, was Progressive-Conservative candidate in Burrard. One of his first moves served to alienate him almost completely from student support. He proposed that students pay a "tax" of $100 a year for the four years following graduation, thus helping alleviate the problem of university financing. He was immediately taken to task by Mike Hunter, editor of The Ubyssey. "Well, we should have known better than to support a kid who suddenly decides to turn politician . . . The first thing Thompson does when he turns 21 is turn politician. Then his first campaign promise is to boost UBC fees $100 a year with a subtle plot he calls a graduation tax. "Just to prove he's a politician, he graduates this year and he won't be around to have to pay the tax ..." Hunter has his own suggestion as to how Mr. Thompson could help the university out of financial difficulty. ". . . We need you here, paying your fees, more than we need you in Victoria." Thompson did not get elected. Past alumni president slams student rowdyism A past president of the Alumni Association has attacked student rowdyism at the Homecoming football game. Fred Bolton, who headed the Alumni in 1940, said the university cannot afford the type of publicity such actions engender. "After seeing the drunken stupidity at the game many grads are going to have second thoughts about giving money to such a place," Bolton said. "I'm not complaining about the goal posts being torn down; it's the drunken stupidity that interfered with the game that annoyed me and several others sitting near me. "It seems strange to me that once things got to the point where students began to disrupt the game and wander on to the field no one did anything to stop them. "If students can't govern themselves, the administration should take the power away," Bolton said. He said he was going to write the university president and the athletic office concerning the game. The game itself was almost incidental, at least as far as quite a few students were concerned. In a melee after the game, almost 100 students were involved in attempts to tear down the goal posts protected by an equal number of engineers, hired, for a couple of cases of beer, by the Men's Athletic Association. F. D. Bolton, BA'34 January 26 set for Edmonton meet There will be an Alumni Branch Meeting at 8:00 p.m. on January 26, 1964 in the Royal Alexandra Hospital. Guest Speaker: Dr. Wm. C. Gibson, Special Assistant to the President on University Development. George Reifel, BSA'44 Grad group formed to advance Ag-science A group OF persons interested in agriculture and in the advancement of agricultural science has been formed, under the name of 'Friends of Agriculture.' The idea was initially put forth by Sigma Tau Upsilon Honorary Agricultural Fraternity, and was sparked by George Reifel, BSA '44, and now president of the 'Friends.' Prime objectives are to provide a unified voice dedicated to the furtherance of agricultural science, particularly at UBC, and to receive and direct funds, gifts, bequests, memorials, contributions, or donations into the most effective channels at the University. Friends of Agriculture is recognized by the University of B.C. Persons interested in the FOA may contact Mr. George H. Reifel, 724 Nelson Street, Vancouver 1, B.C. UBC to get $3.5 million student union building Students have approved plans for the construction of a $3.5 million student union building. In a survey students indicated they wanted food services high on the list of facilities in the first stage of the new building. Other facilities high on the list include a theatre, book store, ballroom, parking facilities, small auditorium and library, and a small private self-service dining-room. The facilities list proposed by the building committee calls for six commercial firms to set up a barber shop, beauty salon, bank, and college shop. The list includes a 10-lane automatic bowling alley and a 12-table billiard room. A reading lounge and two music lounges are also proposed. The building design will be arrived at through an architectural competition. 38 Dr. P. D. McTaggart-Cowan, BA'33 UBC physics grad heads Simon Fraser Appointment of Dr. Patrick Duncan McTaggart-Cowan as president of Simon Fraser University was announced by Chancellor Gordon M. Shrum in October. The new president has been Controller of the Meteorological Service of Canada, Department of Transport, since 1959. In 1934 Dr. McTaggart-Cowan was elected B.C.'s Rhodes Scholar, graduating two years later from Corpus Christi, Oxford, with honors and a BA degree in natural sciences. Holder of the MBE for his services with the RAF Ferry Command, and of the Coronation Medal, he also received in 1959 the Robert M. Losey Award from the Institute of Aeronautical Sciences in recognition of outstanding contributions to the science of meteorology as applied to aeronautics. Chronicle editor retires With the fall edition of The Chronicle off the press, Mrs. Frances Tucker vacated the editor's chair she had held since 1961. Over the past several months, there has been a notable up-grading in the magazine—a fact mentioned by many people. Most of the credit for the improvement must go to our retiring editor. Conscientious effort, hours of extra work, skilful attention to accuracy and detail, wide interests and experiences in academic circles, and a happy personality have combined to present a person of exceptional talents. Always, she provided a friendly and valuable liaison between the Alumni, the student body and the University faculty and administration. Her host of friends will be pleased to know she will maintain her Chronicle contact as a member of the Editorial Committee. Thank you, Frances. Birney calls for culture minister Professor Earle Birney, chairman of UBC's creative writing department, thinks the Canadian government should give consideration to the appointment of a minister for cultural affairs. Professor Birney came to this conclusion after a six-month tour of Mexico, several South American countries and the West Indies, a tour made under the auspices of the Canada Council which had awarded him a senior arts fellowship. In the course of his travels Dr. Birney gave nearly 40 lectures and poetry readings, conducted seminars, and was interviewed by the press and on radio and television. Though he found great curiosity about Canada, particularly in the West Indies, Dr. Birney also found a great blank about Canadian literature and art. Canada has no cultural attaches abroad, he points out, and as a result there are very limited opportunities for people in these areas to learn about Canadian intellectual and cultural life. Following his lecture tour, Dr. Birney travelled to Europe where he completed a new book of poems to be published next spring, and began work on a book about the novelist Malcolm Lowry.

CY 8-1514 The best-tasting filter cigarette 39 Nurses stage drive 3,001 give $62,112.16 Alumni Annual Giving target $100,000 Lybunts, nurses and lawyers may be the deciding factor in bringing Alumni Annual Giving up to its target of $100,- 000 and 4,000 donors for the year 1963. By the time this publication reaches your hand, the issue will have been settled, probably by those three groups. As of November 13th, the number of donors this year was 3,001 and the number of dollars received was $62,112.16. The AAG chairman, Rod Macdonald, explained in his November letter to the Lybunts that a Lybunt was not a new disease or an island in the South Pacific —they were those people who had supported "Last Year BUt Not This." The third-quarter AAG donor analysis indicated that 1,170 past supporters, almost half the total, had not contributed this year. If only 1,000 of them were added to the 1963 total of AAG donors, the target of 4,000 would have been reached. Nurses are key people because they were responsible for the 1962 eleventh hour push to the Annual Giving fund with their Nursing Division drive for Nursing Scholarship funds. The Nurses were repeating this appeal in November and as a result, a major assist was expected from the girls in white. The Lawyers are a more doubtful group, but it was hoped that something might spark them into improving their relative position in the AAG standings. A table showing by faculties and schools the percentage of graduates participating in Alumni Annual Giving for the first three quarters of AAG in 1963, shows the Librarians leading with 28.5%, closely followed by Music with 25%, Commerce, Science and Medicine almost even in the 14% bracket, and the three lowest rungs occupied by Education with 5.4%, Social Work 3.9%, and Law 3.4%. Special appeal letters to groups like the Lawyers showed them the cost the community is presently bearing for education in their fields over and above tuition fees. A Lawyer pays $2,226 in tuition for three years of Arts and three years of Law. The approximate cost of educating the law student to-day is $5,505. Thus the cost to the community is $3,279 per student. Other examples: to graduate a student in Agriculture costs the community $13,- 056; in Applied Science, $6,955; in Arts, $1,676; in Commerce, $3,405; in Education, $3,820; in Forestry, $4,670; in Medicine, $19,733; in Pharmacy, $3,555. The third quarter analysis placed 1917 as the leading class in member participation with 29.6%. Distance still makes the heart grow fonder, as more donations were received from the Eastern United States graduates (25.5% of them) and from the Maritimes and Newfoundland graduates (19.8%) than from graduates closer to UBC. The needs of UBC for "free money" —for scholarships, library, playing fields, president's fund, etc., are all increasing. So must the sense of responsibility of all UBC graduates. Alumni Annual Giving can mean the difference for many quality items at UBC. In 1963 many UBC graduates responded to this opportunity. This, however, is but a beginning. Everyone who has benefited from higher education must be prepared to lend his support.

PhD (McGill), associate head of the chemistry division of Kodak Research Laboratories, has retired after 35 years of service with Eastman Kodak Company. Dr. Russell began his Kodak career as a research chemist in 1928. The following year he was named assistant superintendent of the chemistry department of the laboratories. He was named head of the department of physical chemistry in 1949. Prior to joining Kodak, he served as a chemistry instructor at Stanford University from 1921 to 1923 and then as an assistant professor of chemistry at the University of Western Ontario until 1928. In 1926 he was the recipient of the Governor-General's medal for scientific industrial chemical research. A native of Nanaimo, B.C., Dr. Russell began his education at U.B.C. going on to McGill for his Master of Science and PhD in physical chemistry. He was named 1851 Exhibition Scholar, one of the top chemistry honours of the British Commonwealth. With this scholarship he studied for two years at Harvard University. 1923 Theodore V. Berry, BASc, was a class reunion president who had to miss his own party. He retired at the end of August as Commissioner of the Greater Vancouver Water District and the Greater Vancouver Sewerage and Drainage District. In late October he had, in his capacity of chairman of the Canadian Section of the American Waterworks Association, to attend the water pollution conference held in Quebec City. Mr. Berry had held his two posts of commissioner for eleven years prior to his retirement. He began his career with the City of Vancouver on graduation from UBC and in 1926 was appointed assistant engineer of the Water District and Sewerage District. Through a succession of posts of increasing responsibility, he rose, in 1952, to the position of commissioner, from which he retired. Among Theo Berry's extra-curricular activities was a thirty-year stint as honorary auditor and member of the executive council of University of B.C. Convocation. 1923 G. L. Landon, BSA, director of agricultural development and extension with the department of agriculture in Victoria, has been elected president of the Canadian Council on 4-H Clubs. 1924 Geoffrey B. Riddenough, BA, MA'39, PhD(Harv.), of the department of classics, UBC, read a paper to the Classical Association of Canada when that body met in Quebec City. The title was "L'element de paradoxe dans la Medee d'Euripide." As a contribution to biculturalism, this paper was given in French. 1926 F. P. Levirs, BA, MA'31, began his new position as senator at University of Victoria, September 1. After a successful teaching career, Mr. Levirs became an inspector of schools in 1946. He was later made chief inspector, before being appointed to his present position. 1929 Ralph Farris, BA, is the president of Northern Ontario Natural Gas. Although NONG is the company with which he is best associated, he has been concerned with numerous company ventures—most of them involving oil and gas. From UBC, Mr. Farris went to Harvard Business school, then to Calgary, where he learned the fuel business. Dr. William O. Richmond, BASc, MS(Pitts), Head of the department of mechanical engineering at UBC has been made a fellow of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers. He is the only engineer in western Canada to hold this distinction, which is awarded for outstanding and recognized contributions to the advancement of engineering resulting in recognition as an outstanding authority in his field. He was cited particularly for his distinguished career as a foremost educator in the field of strength of materials, and for his leadership in the advancement of the engineering profession in Canada. 1930 Wing Commander James Dunn, BA, retired in October as senior RCAF Protestant chaplain, Winnipeg, where he spent the last four years at training command headquarters.

The trip ended on a coral reef in the Caribbean. The $100,000 yacht was a total loss but Mr. McDermott and his four companions survived their night of terror in the boiling surf.

The experiment was so successful it is no longer an experiment and we are repeating it. This is how it works. [You] indicate your wish to host a student by 'phoning (CA 4-4366), writing or dropping in at the Alumni Association office, 252 Brock Hall. [We'll] pair you up with a student and two will eat for the price of one (ticket). Note that husbands and wives are welcome (at $3.25!) and women, of course, may be hostesses. Please be sure to give us advance notice of your intention to come as this is essential to our catering arrangements. Thursday, February 6, 1964 at 6:00 p.m. in Brock Hall Lounge Tickets —$3.25 David Brock David Brock, radio and TV personality, essayist, will be the speaker at this second annual student-alumni banquet. His topic: My Days as a University Student. Seattle annual meeting draws 50 graduates The annual meeting of the Seattle Chapter of the Alumni Association was held at the official residence of the Canadian Consul-General, Albert S. Whiteley, and his wife. Both hosts are Class of '28 graduates of UBC in Arts. The gathering of about 50 former UBC students heard an address by Dr. John Chapman, recently-appointed academic planner at UBC, on academic planning. Ed Senkler, BASc'36, was elected president, succeeding Dan Young, BA'52, and Robert Boroughs, BA'39, MA'43, vice-president. Grandmother at UBC shows educational trend The marriage of Professor Emeritus A. C. Cooke to Mrs. Beatrice McColl, reported in its appropriate column in this issue, is yet another reminder of an interesting post-war development in education. When Mrs. Cooke returned to teaching after the death of her first husband some years ago, she decided that a degree was in order. She took some courses at Victoria College while one of her sons was a student there, then came to UBC where she received a BA degree in 1959 and BSW the following year. Study for a Master's degree had to be broken off because of illness. "I thought," says Mrs. Cooke, "that I would stick out like a sore thumb on campus." Instead, she found that she had contemporaries in every class, and, even more gratifying, that her 'teen-age fellow- students accepted her as one of themselves, having the same interests and goals. The mother on campus is no rarity— Mrs. Cooke had six adult children when she became an undergraduate — the grandmother is not unique, but to the editor's great disappointment, Beatrice Cooke did not achieve great-grandmother status until after she left UBC. An undergraduate granddaughter is now the owner of what must surely be one of the first govrnor-general's medals, awarded to Mrs. Cook's aunt in the 1880's. Mrs. Cooke is continuing in her profession of social worker. Tentating date set for Commerce Seminar A tentative date has been set for the Third Annual Commerce Seminar—February 29, 1964—according to Mr. Isy Wolfe, BCom'58, LLB'59, Seminar Chairman. As the past two seminars have been very successful, the format of the all-day Saturday programme will be basically a repeat outline. The committee plan to present a good variety of stimulating subjects of specific interest to Commerce graduates. Further details will be mailed to Commerce graduates. Commerce graduates can register now by writing the Alumni Office. First Annual Niagara District UBC Alumni Association dinner was held October 12, 1963. The Hon. Arthur Laing, BSA'25, and Dr. William C. Gibson, BA'33, were guest speakers. 51 Births MR. and MRS. MICHAEL L.
