"Fie and rot off, you vile foot." SFU vote considers McFog BURNABY (Staff) — A general meeting of Simon Fraser University students Wednesday decided to put to a campus-wide vote a motion calling for university president Pat McTaggart- Cowan's resignation. The two-hour meeting on the mall attracted Loyola students condemn premier MONTREAL (CUP) — One thousand angry Loyola College students cried down with (Daniel) Johnson Tuesday and carried placards to protest of the possible future ruin of their school. They were marching on the Quebec legislature to demand the government recognize the college as a university and give them grants accordingly. Otherwise, the college's 7.5 million debt will force them to raise their fees to $800 next year. Fees are now $590, second only to McGill's $60*0 fees, the highest in Canada. All other universities in Quebec get an operational grant based on $1,500 per student. Loyola, now classed as a classical college, gets a grant based on $550 per student. Student council president Graham Nevins calls it discrimination. He told students not to pay their fees next year, unless the government came across with higher grants. The government has promised to make a decision on Loyola's status before the budget is presented some time this month. more than 1,000 students -who at one time forcibly ejected a student protesting the motion. Vince Stone, a middle-aged man admitted to SFU under their mature student program, had a microphone jerked away from him when he accused students of being immature. "It's none of your business," he said. Stone said the matter should be left to faculty. Then chairman Rob Walsh called for order and told students to take the microphone away from him. Several did and Stone ran up to the main speaker's microphone where he shouted at students until the microphone was disconnected. Political science, sociology and anthropology teaching assistant Jim Harding first proposed the motion which was debated for almost two hours. Harding charged that McTaggart-Cowan did not fully represent faculty to the board of governors. Walsh decided to put the question to a special vote today. A recent Canadian Association of University Teachers report assailed the concentration of authority among department heads and. the university president. Wednesday's meeting was originally called to discuss SFU board of governors action Friday to delay ending its policy of secret meetings. Students Wednesday never got around to discussing secrecy. Friday, 150 students held a -mill-in outside the board's chamber as a student delegation asked for open meetings. After three hours the governors decided to set up a three-man committee to meet with the incoming student council when it is elected in six weeks. Prez f % ope appla V^* UbI senat % SITY Of By DAVID SALMON UBC's senate may soon follow the lead of Simon Fraser University's open senate, says Alma Mater Society president Shaun Sullivan. Sullivan made the prediction Wednesday following the decision to open SFU's senate this week and a coinciding announcement of a 10-man committee to explore the jwssibility of opening UBC's senate. The opening of SFU's senate came after a five-man committee, including the dean of education, three profs and student senator Stan Wong, made a unanimous recommendation that meetings be opened to the public. Wong said the committee will recommend to the senate's April meeting guidelines for the mechanics of open senate — how many observers will be allowed and rules on discussion. The SFU move was applauded by Sullivan. "It should be an incentive to the UBC academic body to do the same," he said. "We have been campaigning for open senate and this strengthens our case." The committee's appointment followed an open meeting between senators and students January 31 at which economics prof. Dr. Robert Clark advocated its formation. The open meeting followed a decision by 600 students Jan. 9 to stage a sit-in at the next senate meeting held Feb. 14 to protest senate secrecy. "The issue of open senate was originally brought up by the UBC students, and I hope UBC's senate will follow the lead of SFU by opening its meetings," said student senator Gabor Mate. AMS first vice-president Don Mutton noted that SiFU's student senators have been elected for over a year now while UBC's have held the seats for only a few months. "It is only a matter of time before UBC's senate follows SFU on open meeting, too." However, acting UBC president, Walter' Gage, who named the 10-man open-senate committee, said Wednesday that SFU's decision will not influence the committee in any way. "The senate has already heard the views of students and will seek those of others, and will make its decision solely In the light of UBC's own special circumstances and traditions,'' said Gage. Committee chairman Dr. Douglas Kenny, said: "The decision to strike a committee antedated the action of SFU. There is no possible co-relation." "If the committee agrees, we will obtain the transcript of SFU's debate on the subject and take into account their considerations," said Kenny. "There is definitely a possibility of change,'' said committee member Finlay Morrison, assistant dean and professor of pharmacology. "This; time we intend to have a hard look at the subject," he said. Three hats in ring for presidential bout Three students are now in the running for the Alma Mater Society presidential by-election March 13. Nominated are Dave Zirnhelt, arts 4, j\ndy McConkey, law 3, and Jack Christopher, arts 4. Zirnhelt is chairman of World University Service at UBC, McConkey is vice-president of the men's athletic association, and Christopher is a defensive guard for the UBC Thunderbirds football team. The by-election was called when the Feb. 7 election between Stan Persky and Brian Abraham was declared void by student council. The action was taken after student court found Persky ineligible to run. Nominations for the March 13 election close today at noon. Page 2 THE UBYSSEY Thursday, March 7, 1968 FREEDOM THREATENED Gov't attacks press REGINA (CUP) — The board of governors at the University of Saskatchewan is out to squelch the Regina campus paper the Carillon. The paper printed a front page story Feb. 16 showing how a Liberal MLA, who took three graduate history courses in 1966-67, received a $1,000 university-approved loan under the Canada student loan plan. Allan Guy earned over $7,500 that year as MLA and from other government posts he held. He is now Saskatchewan's minister of public works. Canada student loans are reserved for full- time students who can prove need. The March 1 issue of the Carillon reported that Regina campus principal W. A. Riddell tried to stop or delay publication of the article. Editor Don Kossick resisted their attempts. Student union president Ralph Smith and other student leaders were summoned to a meeting Feb. 27 with two board members and the principal. They were asked to show why the university should continue to collect student union fees, to allow them to use the name of the university, and why the university should continue to provide space on campus for the Carillon. Editor Kossick said the meeting clearly implied if the Carillon's editorial policy does not change the university will no longer collect student fees. The Guy loan story has been discussed several times in the legislature and in the downtown press. The Carillon itself has stepped on toes all over the province since Kossick became editor last September. He has hammered away at the government and the university alike, coming up with stories on a precedent-sstting Indian civil rights case, student council misuse of funds and library staff resignations. Premier Ross Thatcher's announcement to assume direct control of the University budget touched off another editorial attack. The paper has been particularly unkind to Thatcher, who has been caricatured extensively since mid-November. A famous photograph of several years ago showing Thatcher kicking at the door to the legislative chambers has had extensive front-page use. Kossick said the principal's and the board's threat to cut off finances of the Carillon by refusing to collect the fees at registration will be studied by a faculty committee on academic freedom. Administration officials have said the Carillon's attacks on the government at the same time the university is trying to lose the government's proposed control of the university budget may make things difficult. The university is also reported to be disturbed at the paper's effect on the public image. Campus filthy/ says prof By FRED CAWSEY Our campus is filthy, says UBC Classics lecturer Dr. Geoffrey Riddehough. "I've seen many campuses in the United al life outlined in By MIKE FITZGERALD Want to know how toi dunk a student? It's all there in the engineering handbook, a collection of rules and regulations designed to bring out the best in any potential redcoat. Consisting of 40-odd pages with an appendix listing the phone numbers of the various women's residences and local hospitals, the handbook is issued by the engineering undergraduate society. On page 13, there is a section called tanking with four rules: (1) Jump the victim and disable him. (2) Remove all valuables and articles of clothing (e.g. furry underthings for artsmen). (3) Carry the guy face down to the pond and then turn him through pi radians and have a count-down. (4) Make sure that he is not holding on to anybody. Get a good arc for distance. Social aspects of the engineering life are also included. One part reads: "All members of the EUS have no doubt felt the stringent withdrawal pains due to lack of beer and women. Now is the time to release those frustrations which have been building up for an entire summer. Come to the mixers and meet the campus lovelies (e.g. the innocent freshettes). According to the handbook, the engineer's attendance at social functions plays an important part in determining the success of the engineer. The development of the art of meeting people is extremely important in his overall standing. That section can be found on page 11. "First, these knowing lovelies must be lured out of their fortified residences. To do this we sponsor terrific mixers off campus. Our mixers are always a success and you never know what fun you may find yourself in, so plan on attending as many as you can take." A section on smokers says: "For those lucky enough to be of age, we have the Engineer's Smoker—in late (Ha!). Since there is always a possibility of the magic man in the blue suit appearing, (he is magic because when he appears, everyone else disappears) we don't advertise it. To make sure that you don't miss this delightful evening of masculine entertainment, let your council reps know early ..." States and Europe, but UBC is by far messier than any of them," he said Wednesday. Indelible painting on sidewalks and buildings announcing campus activities are examples, he said. "Students proclaiming their ability to remodel the world and run it properly might at least keep their own grounds clean. Riddehough thinks dirty grounds might be a sort of tradition at UBC. "I was at Fairview (old UBC campus) before we moved out here to Point Grey," he said. "In our efforts to show the government how squalid Fairview conditions were, we always made sure there was plenty of garbage lying around when visiting dignitaries arrived. "So UBC seems to have started off with no pride in its campus, and unfortunately the tradition seems to have continued." Riddehough termed immature a recent engineering stunt in which toilet paper was strewn through campus trees. In Riddehough's opinion, undergraduates are the cause of most of the mess. He thinks it is bad for UBC's image. "We need public support and money, and when people who are already critical of the university see our unkempt conditions they criticize even more." Vancouver is a messy town anyway, he said. It seems to suggest a lack of intellectual maturity when people refuse to keep their environment clean. "Most people will agree that a neat campus is something to be proud of and a messy campus is one to be ashamed of." He said it is about time UBC students were aware of the problem, and did something about it. Quiz return poor Only one fifth of the 9,500 arts anti-calendar questionnaires distributed so far have been returned. They were handed out to arts students over the last two weeks. "I guess most of them are just lying in lockers or in briefcases," said arts undergraduate society vice-president Ralph Stanton. "People just aren't taking them seriously." The questionnaire, two sides of a foolscap sheet, asks students to evaluate their professors. Results are tabulated as the arts anti-calendar, available in the summer. Anyone who wants to help compile the results should apply at the desk in Buchanan lounge between 10:30 and 4:30, Stanton said.

Thursday, March 7, 1968 THE UBYSSEY Page 3 — bob brown photo IT'S SPRING and young men's thoughts turn foolish like these two young rogues who spent Wednesday afternoon touring the library, by bicycle. Drug kicks step down for meditation, says dean Hallucinogenic drugs are on the way out, says UBC's dean of pharmacy Dr. Bernard Riedel. Riedel made the statement in an address on psychedelic drugs. LSD's possible ability to damage chromosomes has scared off women, he said, and men now think drugs are going out of style. "The thing now is to sit around and try to break down each other's mind without any drug at all. Or to try to develop within one's self a state of absolutely nothing or only one all-pervading thought." There is an other state of mind, called integral thought as opposed to analytic thought, in which deep insight can occur, Riedel said. It is a truly creative process. "To have such truly original thought the mind must throw off its critical guard. It must put itself into a state of depersonalization." To do this requires intense attention, much like that which Zen Buddhists achieve, so the individual appears to be outside himself, he said. "Under these circumstances a person undergoes an emotional reorganization — he becomes Perspective change in panel discussion Educational change in historical perspective is the subject of a panel discussion today at noon. Speakers will be Prof. Jan De Bruyn on renaissance and seventeenth century man, Prof. Karl Erdman on science and eighteenth century man, and Prof. Henry Johnson on twentieth century man and woman. The discussion, followed by an audience participation session, will begin at noon in ed. 100. one with the universe — he has a sense of liberation." The desire to escape from reality and to intensify one's own powers has throughout history led to the misuse of drugs, Riedel said. The abuse of opium aroused two attitudes prevalent on the misuse of drugs. First is that users should be punished. Second, is that misuse of a drug should be considered a sickness, and the offender be cured, not jailed. These two opinions are evident in the marijuana controversy. Many feel that if marijuana were legalized, society would develop codes and attitudes towards it similar to those on liquor, Riedel said. "The upshot of misinformed fulmination about marijuana is people in the know feel a certain superiority. They're entitled to smile when subjected to the liquor industry's $200 million annual barrage of advertising. They feel their product is better, cheaper and less dangerous." But in contrast to the relation that marijuana brings, LSD tends to cause dissociation and detachment of the taker, personal insensitivity and a feeling of superiority, religious and philosophical solipsism, impulsivity, and poor judgment. "One of the chief concerns of the dedicated drug-taker is precisely to repudiate the values, judgments and most basic perceptions of the persons he believes to represent a monolithic and repressive authority." While LSD can be useful in treating schizophrenia and other psychological disorders, it may produce even more serious results. Its value as a treatment is very seriously questioned. Thus, Riedel said, the shift is away from using drugs for kicks. Shaking oneself loose from the common world, a process called cosmic consciousness may next be done not by drugs, but by Zen Buddhist meditation. Meanwhile, bananas, morning glory seeds, peppermint oil and glue may be passing out of Student concern pitiful—Robbins By MIKE FINLAY Ubyssey Council Reporter UBC students are failing to take stands on the vital issues that concern them, says AIMS external affairs officer-elect Tobin Robbins;. "There are pitifully few students concerned with what is going on," said Robbins, arts 3, Wednesday. "The student has to take a stand on what is going on in government in Vancouver, in the province and in Ottawa." "Its our country and we're in the middle of a mire. Being passive about it is just perpetuating a mess." Robbins said he thought about 90 per cent of the students at UBC were not interested in the issues that affect the country and themselves. "The same thing applies to the campus," he said. "The student has the right to be involved in the decision making that directly affects Ms well being, but he has to work to get involved." ROBBINS Robbins said he hopes the new executive and council will be able to make students more aware of campus issues and what student government is doing. "We're going to have to have council meetings during the day, arid stop this hiding at night. We'll try and put out a detailed agenda so students can come when an issue comes up that directly affects them." He said he was not pleased with the present system of representation on council and would work for a structure that was mere representative of population. "I'm not in agreement with the proposal that representatives of the board of governors and the faculty association sit as voting members on council," he said. "Tie meetings are open to anyone as it is. Besides, we're a society and they wouldn't be members." (The proposal failed to pass through council Feb. 26.) Robbins sees his position as external affairs officer as a full position which he feels will require preparation during the summer. "One of the major jobs will be working with the Canadian Union of Students. We have to make sure the $12,000 we give them goes somewhere. We'll go down to the congress, in New Brunswick." He said he found the one meeting of the B.C. Assembly of Students he attended disappointing. "There's poor communication between here and the headquarters in Victoria and I think there should be a paid president to make the job effective,'' he said. "The principal function of B.C.A.S. right now is going to have to be trying to get more money from the government." He said there are problems with the bookstore that must be dealt with if students are to get a fair deal. "We'll work along with the Canadian association of university teachers and look in to the problem." "We've agreed that UBC could be a leader in this area of examination." Jobs would be done by members of the executive who felt most competent to handle them, even if they did not fall directly on their office. "The new president should give direction and leadership to the council. "I just hope we elect one who will be as progressive as the executive is."

"There's nothing we need more in the world than a generation of young people who are violently dedicated to social reform." —Dean of engineering William Armstrong MARCH 7, 1968 Who's British? The people of B.C. are not British. Only the British are British. So why, we demand, call this province British Columbia? The brutish adjective British is an embarrassment. It stamps us as a colony, something far from fashionable these days. It is even more embarrassing in this respect than the picture of the English lady on our stamps and coins. Well-educated Europeans and Asians — who know Vancouver is a port city on Canada's west coast — have never heard of British Columbia. When, asked, they usually place it either south of Cuba or east of the Congo. Knowing this country has gained some sort of independence, they are surprised to learn British Columbia is in Canada. Worse, having a false colonial name blinds many British Columbians to the danger of the economic neocolonialism engulfing us from the south. Quebecers and other Canadians have only scorn for the present name of this province, as they do for the union jack, God Save the Queen and other colonial trappings. It's time all of this nonsense was tossed out. Taking the British out of British Columbia is a good way to start. Bad show A legislature committee in Victoria is currently studying marijuana. Its terms of reference, as announced by education minister Leslie Peterson, include the hope that the committee can "recommend changes in laws or other measures to halt the increasing use of drugs." Also, the committee was to suggest ways combatting "faulty leadership by professors" on the pot question. As The Ubyssey pointed out earlier, an objective study of marijuana is obviously not what this Socred committee has in mind. Rather, the purpose is twofold: find a rationalization for tightening the pot laws and carry out a witch-hunt against professors whose research doesn't jibe with popular prejudice. It should have been, we thought, axiomatic that no professor would have anything to do with an inquiry with predetermined conclusions. We were wrong. UBC's Conrad Schwarz, a professor of psychiatry who never misses a chance to gain personal publicity, was one of the committee's first visitors. Being of the minority of scientists concerned with the subject who support strict marijuana legislation, Schwarz undoubtedly gave the committee just what it wanted. We have no quarrel with Schwarz expressing his views on marijuana. But we must question the integrity of a scientist who consents to appear before a fraudulent inquiry, the terms of reference of which include an open threat to academic freedom. Scientist-MLA Pat McGeer's hysterical ranting about LSD in the legislature last year was one of the most degrading episodes in the history of UBC's faculty. McGeer's antics were viewed as a prostitution of his profession in an attempt to gain political support. Although he's not running for office, Schwarz's behavior is no better.

A good time was had by all "Mr. Mayor — this man says he can solve the Hippie Problem . . . . " Protesting profs help Yank fanatics By GABOR MATE Despite their good intentions, the 233 UBC professors who signed the petition protesting the Soviet government's recent jailing of Russian intellectuals may have performed a disservice to the cause of freedom in the -world. Their action, taken in itself, is a very honorable one — unfortunately, however, no political act occurs in a vacuum but always in a real and complex political context. And in the political context the professors have chosen to register their protest, their action may better serve the cause of tyranny than that of freedom. For what is the immediate political context of their act ? Not the Soviet Union, but North America. It is not in Russia but in North America that the protest of the 233 professors will have the greater consequences. And what characterizes the North American political climate at the present time? In the name of anti-Communism the United States is waging the dirtiest war in history against the people of Vietnam. Also in the name of anti-Communism, certain segments of the American ruling group are preparing to unleash a nuclear war on China — not, it is to be assumed, an eventuality viewed with favor by the 233 professors. What makes possible such a foreign policy is the fanatically anti-Communist mentality the North American people have been taught to accept —. are the professors really furthering the cause of liberty by catering to this mentality ? This is not to say that tyranny should not be opposed wherever it exists, be it our own society or somewhere else. But the struggle must be carried on with a view to that which is most necessary in terms of our own particular situation. In other words, the 233 professors would have struck a greater blow for liberty if they had somehow related their love of freedom to the North American situation. As the recent jailing of the black American playwright Leroi Jones indicates, our increasingly violent anti-Communist foreign policy is being coupled with an increasingly repressive internal policy — once more deriving its justification from the sacred cause of anti -Communist freedom. Would our 233 professors not serve freedom in a much more tangible way by shedding the light of their protest on the lack of freedom in our society? How many of these 233 are actively engaged in the struggle to bring justice to Leroi Jones? Even, closer to home, how many of the 233 lifted a finger last year to oppose the jailing of B.C. labor leaders whose only crime was that they tried to serve the interests of their labor following ? In the 1930's the Communist parties of the western world demanded progressive intellectuals confine their criticism to the West, and never direct it against the actions of the Soviet Union. No such demand is being made here. But it does seem reasonable that the fight against tyranny should be waged primarily on the local level, and if criticism of distant societies is necessary that it be made in the context of the local struggle. Unless all our actions are related to the local struggle, there exists a danger of our well-meant statements being used by the representatives of the status quo at home. This has alrady become the fate of the protest of the 233 professors in the downtown press.

Editor, The Ubyssey: While it is true that I was critical of the education representative for his failure to bring to the attention of either AMS council or the elections committee the fact that many of his constituents would be off the campus on the day of the recent constitutional referendum, at no time did I make either of the remarks attributed to me in the paragraph immediately under the subhead "Mouse Rep Stupid". In the first place I said that Gilchrist had not fulfilled his responsibilities, not that he was "stupid". In the second, the alternative would have been advance polls for education (sic) students, not postponing the referendum. In general, the coverage by The Ubyssey of the events of the past several weeks has been both responsible and fair. CHUCK CAMPBELL, AMS returning officer. Bookstore Editor, The Ubyssey: In the face of a steady Dow of criticism the bookstore management has maintained a dignified silence, indicating either that they consider themselves above such matters as student criticism or alternately that they have no answers to such criticisms. In an endeavor to tempt the management down from their aloof and Olympian heights into print I would like to pose two specific questions: Question 1—Does the bookstore management negotiate with publishers for discounts on behalf of students ? Where comparisons can be made with city bookstores prices appear to be the same (with the exception of course of the 5 per cent tax which is a provincial government concession and as such completely separate from profits). When a professor nominates a text his students are required to purchase the same regardless of price.

The text book trade has developed into a lucrative and highly competitive one and orders of this magnitude could certainly give purchasing power to buyers. Possibly members of the faculty are remiss here and could combine with the bookstore management to exert leverage for sizeable discounts. Two professors have recently been heard to state they were not aware of the cost of books for their own courses. The management will obviously refer to the 5 per cent rebates which leads me to the second query. Enquiries at the bookstore to find out when this rebate can be expected have received a date of May, i.e. after the Spring recess. If 18,000 students buy on an average $100 worth of books and equipment during an academic year they -would qualify for a $5 per head rebate or a $90,000 total. If rebates are made after the spring recess a conservative estimate of half the student body would have dispersed across the continent or be working and not be in a position to return to the campus. The bookstore would therefore stand to save some $45,000 in rebates at the students expense. Question 2—Would the bookstore management care to confirm or deny this as an official rebate policy.

BUY - SELL - RENT UBYSSEY CLASSIFIED Thursday, March 7, 1968 THE UBYSSEY Page 7 Bird swimmers second in meet; Hamilton and nationals next By JIM MADDIN The UBC swimming Thunderbirds finally showed how well they could splash through the water last weekend. Competing in the Western Canadian Intercollegiate conference championships in swimming and diving, the Birds placed second overall, 26 points behind winner University of Alberta and 26 points ahead of third place University of Saskatchewan at Saskatoon. The meet determined which swimmers would go to Hamilton this weekend for the national championships and UBC placed six swimmers and one diver on the 22 member WCIAA team. Leading the list of UBC qualifiers for the nationals was Phil Dockerill, who splashed his way to two individual victories in the 100 and 200 yd. breaststroke events. He helped the UBC 400 yd. medley relay team to its first place finish as well as placing third in the 200 yd. individual medley. Nearly matching Dockerill's performance was two-year veteran Phil Winch, who helped himself to a win in the 500 yd. freestyle, a second in the 100 yd. freestyle and a second in the 200 yd. individual medley. Another veteran, Jim Maddin, swam to two individual medley relay victories, the 400 and 200 yd. events, and helped the relay team to a victory in the 400 yd. medley and a third place finish in the 400 yd. freestyle. The two Dorchester brothers, Frank and Ted, combined to give UBC another block of points with veteran Frank's two third place finishes in the 50 yd. freestyle and the 100 yd. butterfly as well as his butterfly leg of the winning medley relay and a leg of the third place freestyle relay team. Freshman Ted, not to be outdone, swam to a second place finish in the 200 yd. backstroke event and a third in the 100 yd. backstroke. Rounding out the list of swimmers going to Hamilton is Terry Lyons who qualified with his fine showings in the short sprint freestyle events and consistent performances in the relay events. Representing the diving end of the competitions is diving coach Tom Dinsley, an ex- Olympian with the Canadian national team in 1964. Dinsley, after weeks of training, dove to a second place finish in the one meter event and a third place in the three meter.

Wrestler wins, team loses as world champion watches By JOHN TWIGG The UBC Thunderbird wrestling team performed before a world champion last weekend in the WCIAA championships at Calgary but their performance wasn't world class. UBC finished last as a team due mainly to four ineligibilities on the ten-man team. The ineligibilities arose through complications with conference rules and scholastic problems. Despite the small team, UBC managed two wins and a trophy. Freshman Dave Gray won the 160-pound class and was awarded the "outstanding wrestler" title. This is the first time a UBC wrestler has ever won the award. Dale Boyd also tied for top honors in the 191-pound class. A sidelight of the tournament was the presence of Bill Smith, former American national Collegiate champion and 160-pound Olympic champion in 1952. Smith last year held a position in American wrestling that was generally as advisor and fitness consultant but he reputedly was not paid much. The Canadian government hired him as national co-ordinator of wrestling, one of the few good moves the government has made. Your agent happened to meet Smith in Calgary, of all places, and engaged him in discussion while the Birds wrestled three other WCIAA teams. Smith views his job as an independent coach who will help train and prepare Canadian wrestlers for the upcoming Olympics. Currently based in Edmonton, he will indirectly select team members. When asked what the difference was between American and Canadian wrestling, he replied, "Wrestling is more like an intramural sport in Canada. There is too much sportsmanship." Though this sounds incongruous, the match on the mat at the time proved his point. UBC's Pete Rosburgh was in the process of defeating Bill Dekort of the University of Calgary in a one-sided match. Rosburgh was clearly the better wrestler, but he lacked the ability or desire to finish off Dekort. His style was typical of most of the matches that day in that he would wait for an opening. Smith thinks that most wrestlers aren't aggressive enough and attributes this to a lack of conditioning and lack of ability. The conditioning aspect is easy to correct but the ability is more difficult. Frequently a wrestler would know only one move and -would spend the match on defence occasionally trying his move. This kind of match leads to a points decision, one that fans dislike. A poor match keeps fans away and without fan support the wrestlers aren't encouraged to improve their calibre of wrestling. It's a vicious circle. However, Smith sees a solution to the problem. He says, "You've got to force the wrestlers to wrestle. Make them practice moves until they are second nature and the many opportunities that arise in a match will not be missed." Unfortunately the Canadian wrestlers must practise hard to reach the level of even American high schools according to Smith, who has seen 25 years service in all levels of American wrestling. Another facet of Canadian wrestling that Smith hopes to correct is the officiating. During the meet, Smith became quite upset at some of the officiating. Apart from missing a pin, the referees were not calling stalling, which is a by-product of lack of ability. A wrestler is not allowed to go through a match without making an offensive attempt. Four unreplied offensive attempts by a wrestler gives him one point and his opponent a warning; three warnings and a man is disqualified. In Calgary, the officials weren't calling stalls until Smith talked to them. The calibre of wrestling improved noticeably when one man was disqualified. Smith has already started his job and some WCIAA coaches, particularly UBC's Paul Nemeth, are pleased. Nemeth, an old acquaintance of Smith, said, "I was pleased to see him in Calgary, his presence had a noticeable effect on the wrestlers. I am trying to get him to come to UBC sometime in June." But Smith has one advantage facing him. In Canada we start free wrestling in high school but in the U.S., high schools start by following the "Greco-Roman" style, which is more constrained than free wrestling. As a! result, American wrestlers must be re-taught at college. Meanwhile, the Canadian championships are in Edmonton March 15 and 16, to which UBC will send seven team members. 100% HUMAN HAIR WIGS 21.95, 31.95, 41.95 & 61.95 WIGLETS $9.95 BEAUTIFUL FALLS $29.95 SALES 10% Discount to U.B.C.
