Winner of the Robert Gaul Memorial Trophy as UBC's top male athlete in 1975-76 is Kelvin Wood, a graduate student in the Faculty of Applied Science. Mr. Wood has captained UBC's field hockey team for several years and was on the Canadian team that won a silver medal at the 1975 Pan-American Games. UBC's president, Dr. Douglas Kenny, spoke to the Vancouver Institute on March 13 on the topic "The University on the Frontier." His talk described B.C. as a frontier society and UBC as an institution on the intellectual frontier, the land of new ideas and new knowledge. Here are excerpts from the latter part of his speech. ...The university is like a frontier society in that it too has the problem of reconciling its past with its future. It too must struggle to keep in touch with the realities and values of the past in order not to become too exclusively preoccupied with a possible future, and thus lose touch with the reality of here and now. Just as in B.C. there is a tension between the values of the old country and the exciting and often raw values of the new society, so too there is in the university that same kind of tension. In both cases, a successful society or institution is only achieved by giving each its due, by allowing tradition and dreams to co-exist and interact. In the university, we need the wild-eyed researcher caught up in his or her far-out, apparently impossible, seemingly irrelevant questions. But we also need the apparently old-fashioned, traditional professor, involved in his or her re-living and re-examining of seemingly archaic, dead languages, cultures and ideas. To both, their subjects are frontiers, which they can make real and alive and useful to us through what they tell us of their discoveries. They keep us in touch with our past and our future, and thus with ourselves and what we are. What, then, can provide the means of preserving and encouraging a balance, a productive interaction between the old and the new? The answer, I believe, is to be found only in values. If these two ways of living and working are brought to understand that there are common values which can guide them both, to which both owe loyalty, then a way of working together successfully can be found. But to find agreement on these values is not always easy, particularly when there is an apparent conflict between the values which inspire two kinds of society. The values of the frontier are often tough ones: independence, material success, practicality, individualism, innocence, equality, outspokenness. The values of an older civilization seem at first quite different: continuity, stability, sociality, civility, sophistication, subtlety, patience, sympathy, standards. It is only by a resolution of these values, however, that a society can discover itself and create something worth having. And it is to the resolution of these values that a university is dedicated. It has often been said—and cannot be said too often—that a university is dedicated to learning. That is the fundamental reason for our existence. It has also been said, and is equally true, that the most important means for learning is freedom. The ultimate value, then, is truth; the value which makes possible the attainment of truth is freedom. This single fact must guide not only universities but societies, Please turn to Page Two See FRONTIER Dorothy Slade can make color work for you on IMC's color copier This copier is colorful! STUDENTS! Want to put a little pizzazz into that term paper by using color in bar graphs, statistical tables or illustrations? FACULTY MEMBERS! Why not consider enlivening your lectures by converting your black-and-white overhead transparencies into glorious living color? In short, why not color your work by making use of the new color Xerox copier recently installed at UBC's Instructional Media Centre in Hut B7 on the East Mall. IMC director Tom Whitehead says the new color copier offers a whole new dimension in copying for educational purposes. Pertinent information in charts, graphs and statistical tables can be highlighted, and the need to underline or circle important information is eliminated. Color transparencies for overhead projection can also be created on the new machine, either from black-and-white illustrations or from colored originals. The machine can also copy 35 mm color slides and enlarge them to a maximum of 8V2 by 11 inches. And all this for 65 cents a copy or $1.15 for each overhead transparency. The Xerox copier uses three basic colors — red, blue and yellow. With a little button-pushing, however, these three colors can be combined to generate a seven-color range. For the best results, it pays to plan ahead, however. The IMC has a qualified operator who's prepared to advise you on the best way of preparing material you want color-copied. If it's an uncomplicated question you can probably get the answer by calling the IMC at local 4771 THE MUSIC BOX THURSDAY, MARCH 18 12:30 p.m. UNIVERSITY CHORAL UNION.

And this single equation of value provides the means for reconciling the apparently contradictory values of the new and the old, of the frontier and the "old country." Freedom, in short, is the catalytic value to which the others relate. The seeming contrast between the uninhibited individualism of the frontier and the mutual responsibility of the older, stable society lies in freedom seen as everyone's right, not just that of the strong or the swift. The key to the reconciliation of the apparent opposites of a new frontier and an old civilization lies essentially in a common dedication to values. More specifically, the affirmation and practice of certain basic values is absolutely essential if the frontier and the university on the frontier are to co-exist, survive and grow. That is what it is all about, finally. Values. Freedom to be different and the civilized tolerance of differences. Competition in a context of co-operation and deep concern for others. Curiosity for the truth and the courage of honesty coupled with civility. It is not enough simply to strive for accomplishment or learning, one must also recognize others' rights to strive. And that is probably the most important function the university can perform. To serve as a place where values are emphasized and lived by, as an example to society at large. As a place where some freedom from the practical pressures of everyday life allows time and opportunity for more than a passing thought to such things. That is why the presence of the university on the frontier is essential. Not merely to remind a new society of the value of older things. Not merely to serve as a kind of frontier city in itself. But to be a home for the values which make it possible for the old and the new to interact, a place where our young people can learn the best of both these worlds so they can help build the best of both these worlds into the life of the province. Finally, if this University is to serve its highest purpose, it must in a certain sense be B.C.'s own frontier. Out here on Point Grey, we hope, can be found that view of horizons we all need to see if we are to move, with a rich awareness of where we came from, towards what we can become. Sports Menu f ROWING - Season gets underway Saturday for UBC rowers with an invitational meet beginning at 7:30 a.m. on Coal Harbor at Stanley Park. Races continue until 12 noon. Participating Pacific Northwest universities include Washington, Oregon State and Puget Sound. TENNIS - UBC Invitational Tennis Tournament begins Monday at 5 p.m. in the campus Armory. Play will continue until Sunday, March 28. On March 23-26, play begins at 7 p.m., and on March 27 and 28 at 8 a.m. New members of UBC's Board of Governors are Pearley R. Brissenden, left, well-known Vancouver lawyer, and Ian Greenwood, right, of Kelowna, general manager of B.C. Tree Fruits and Sun-Rype Products Ltd. Both new governors are UBC graduates. In making the appointments, the provincial government also announced the termination of appointments of Clive Lytle and Bing Wing Thom. Increase stops Calendar mail Increases in postal rates have forced the registrar's office to stop mailing UBC calendars overseas. Registrar Jack Parnall has sent a memo to all academic administrators asking them not to request that calendars be sent overseas or suggest to correspondents that calendars will be mailed to them. The memo says the major problem will arise with overseas students planning to enter the Faculty of Graduate Studies. Mr. Parnall suggests that departments that have brochures detailing their graduate offerings send them instead of calendars. A lightweight version of calendar information useful for overseas students is being developed. ■ ■■A4fe Published on Wednes- ■ ■■■I days and distributed Hn W\_§ free by the Department ""^^ of Information Services REPORTS 0f tne University of British Columbia, 2075 Wesbrook Place, Vancouver, B.C.

Not an average day for your average student. But for the 12 students enrolled in the UBC Legal Clinic in the Faculty of Law, this could very well be an average day. The UBC Legal Clinic, established last September, operates as a regular law office with a small number of senior students working as lawyers for half of the University year. A clinical professor and two staff counsel supervise. "Taking the regular course load is a very different experience from having a client who is your responsibility," says Jim Taylor, an associate Law professor who has organized the clinical legal education program. "It adds a sense of professional responsibility to their law school training." Each student is responsible for about 20 files. "In coming in contact with actual clients, the students begin to realize how laws can affect the lives of individuals and are also given an appreciation of the complexity of human problems and the realization that, in many situations, the law may provide only a limited solution to a client'sproblem." Although courses with a clinical flavor have been offered for a couple of years in the law faculty, the idea of students working full time in a legal clinic is a relatively new one, and one that has not met with complete approval from some law faculty members. Butclinical legal education of this nature is being offered in more and more schools across Canada. "There is a good argument to be made that we are duplicating the articling system" (where students serve for one year in a law firm after graduation), says Mr. Taylor. "But what distinguishes this from the articling experience ... is the emphasis on self-analysis and interpreted experience." Sensitivity to people is an important part of the training, says Mr. Taylor. Knowing the law is not always enough. "The total system of legal education does not always provide training in developing interviewing and negotiating skills and sensitivity to clients. We don't see the damage that lawyers with poorly trained skills do," he emphasizes. Critical analysis by fellow students and supervising lawyers is an integral part of the program, with seminars held all day Monday and Thursday evenings. The students handle cases dealing with a full range of legal problems-from criminal charges, minor financial claims, complaints against department stores to family crises and divorce problems. Many of their clients are people directly related to the University community, especially students. Many clients are referred to them from several professionally staffed Vancouver legal aid projects. The program meshes well with the Law Students' Legal Advice Program, a non-credit, voluntary program run by UBC Law students in the evenings for the past six or seven years. Because students in this extracurricular program cannot represent any of their clients in court, they often refer clients to the Legal Clinic where students can take cases to court. The Legal Clinic is located in the Faculty of Law, although it hopes to move off-campus when funding permits, and is open to the public from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday to Friday, and 9 a.m. to 12 noon Saturday. The clinic's phone number is 228-5911. UBC Reports/March 17, 1976/3 THIS WEEK AND NEXT THURSDAY, MARCH 18 9:00a.m. PSYCHIATRY CONFERENCE. The speaker is Dr. Magda B.
