-oCHAL COLLECTION He traded security for challenge In 1943, Bob Grant got his discharge from hospital, his discharge from the Royal Air Force and a 100-per-cent disability pension. He was 22 years old and all he knew was flying. Later this month, Bob Grant assumes his duties as UBC's Director of Employee Relations, in charge of personnel and labor relations. He is a fit 55 and has spent the last 24 of those years as a personnel professional. Although he concedes reluctantly that he left "a few bits and pieces, including a kidney" behind him in hospital after his wartime plane crash, Bob Grant has weathered well. A daily, pre-breakfast jog of two miles works wonders, he says. Mr. Grant has a B.A. in Commerce from Manchester University ("I couldn't fly, so I decided to go back to school") and since coming to Canada in 1950 has picked up a certificate of personnel management from McMaster University, and a hospital organization and management diploma from the Canadian Hospital Association. To get to Canada in the first place, Bob Grant traded security for challenge. As a youthful father of three sons, convinced that the future was Canada, he gave up his monthly disability pension and took a lump sum instead to finance the move from England. He spent 10 years with the A.V. Rowe aircraft company, most of them as the person in charge of technical and professional recruiting for the Avro Arrow. When the Canadian government abandoned the Arrow project in 1959, Grant was one of the few of the 15,000 A.V. Rowe employees who still had a job. He spent the next year placing Avro professionals with other firms, before Please turn to Page Three See APPOINTMENT Prime Minister Trudeau unveils plaque at Monday's opening of TRIUMF Project on UBC's south campus TRIUMF to get funds for full-power beam Prime Minister Trudeau announced Monday that the federal government will provide the extra money needed to bring the TRIUMF cyclotron beam up to full power. He made the announcement to an audience of more than seven hundred when he officially opened and dedicated TRIUMF, the $36-million nuclear research centre on UBC's south campus. UBC Vice-President Erich Vogt, chairman of the TRIUMF board of management, said later that this would increase the power of the beam by a factor of 100 and would mean a grant of "several millions of dollars." He said much of this would be used for additional massive concrete radiation shielding and estimated it would take 15 to 16 months to complete the project. TRIUMF, a joint project of UBC, the University of Alberta, the University of Victoria and Simon Fraser University, will be used for pure research and also will be the world's most advanced radiation treatment centre for cancer. The first cancer patients are expected to be treated there by early 1978. In announcing the federal grant, the prime minister gave two reasons for supporting the project: "We must try to protect the best and maintain a solid basis from which we can go forward in better times, in times when we have more money to spend. Second, we must give priority to those projects that give the greatest value to society in relation to expenditures." Mr. Trudeau also commented on the co-operative nature of the TRIUMF project. "What I like here," he said, "is that this is a project shared by four universities. When I used to be connected with universities, I always found it worrisome that each university in my day found it had to be a specialist in everything. We were spreading ourselves very thin and we didn't have much depth. "I understand now there's a move amongst universities to create centres of excellence, which is certainly the kind of encouragement that we would want to give you, and the fact that four universities got together to co-operate on this ... is something which pleases me very much, which makes me think that governments and taxpayers will be using their money Please turn to Page Three See TRIUMF THE MUSIC BOX THURSDAY, FEB. 12 12:30 p.m. FACULTY RECITAL.

Dr. Douglas T. Kenny, said Tuesday the death of Dr. H.R. MacMillan means that UBC has lost "one of its greatest friends and benefactors." "His loss will be deeply felt, but his name will always be honored on this campus," Dr. Kenny said in a statement issued following the death of Dr. MacMillan on Tuesday at the age of 90. Dr. Kenny continued: "Over a period of 30 years H.R. MacMillan made gifts totalling millions of dollars to UBC. These gifts were notable not just for their size but for their purpose. H.R. made it a principle to provide aid in areas that he felt were not properly the responsibility of government. He gave his support to scholarship rather than to bricks and mortar. "His generosity took the form largely of financial assistance to students, of support to our graduate school, of research and teaching in such important fields as forestry, fisheries, ecology and medicine, and of massive improvement of our library system. "He made his largest single contribution to education in 1965 when he made major gifts for the establishment of awards for graduate students, large donations to the Anglican and Union Theological Colleges (now combined in the Vancouver School of Theology), and an unprecedented gift to the UBC library. His generosity enabled the library to double its book purchases and become, for a time, one of the 10 wealthiest academic libraries in North America." 2/UBC Reports/Feb. 11, 1976 Dr. Kenny also characterized Dr. MacMillan as a "strong supporter" of the UBC Museum of Anthropology throughout its existence. Dr. MacMillan contributed substantially to the museum's acquisition of artifacts of the northwest coast Indians and made grants that enabled UBC to purchase a number of special collections. He financed the purchase of more than two thousand objects for the museum collection and helped to finance the acquisition of totem poles and other massive carvings. Dr. MacMillan made his gifts personally to UBC, jointly with Mrs. MacMillan, through the H.R. MacMillan Family and Educational Funds, and through MacMillan Bloedel Ltd. Dr. MacMillan's interest in fisheries and zoology took many forms, including a centenary gift in 1965 to strengthen the teaching staff of the former Institute of Fisheries, now the Institute of Animal Resource Ecology. In addition, for many years Dr. MacMillan used his yacht to take UBC zoologists and fisheries scientists on annual collecting expeditions off California and Mexico. In the Faculty of Forestry Dr. MacMillan provided funds for book purchases, a loan fund for students, an annual prize to the top graduating student, and for graduate and faculty research. He also made a substantial contribution to the building of the first road into UBC's research forest north of Haney in the Fraser Valley. UBC honored Dr. MacMillan in 1950 when he was awarded the honorary degree of Doctor of Science.

Day care gets boost sports jmm After almost ten years of day care operations, problems and growing pains being handled through parent committees and last-minute solutions, a permanent presidential advisory committee is to be set up to consider the day care needs of the campus community. "In the past the problems have been solved by enterprising individuals," said Erich Vogt, vice-president of faculty and student affairs who has been involved in setting up the committee. Now, he said, there will be a permanent body to look into the problems of space, financing of new buildings and repairing old ones and planning for future expansion. "The committee should help to focus attention on APPOINTMENT Continued from Page One moving on himself to Atlas Steel in 1960. When Sunnybrook Hospital in Toronto was sold by the Department of Veterans Affairs to the University of Toronto for $1 as a teaching hospital in 1966, Mr. Grant became personnel director. He came to Vancouver in 1974 as director of manpower for the British Columbia Medical Centre. He sees his strength as human relations and he is looking forward to the time when the personnel department at UBC will be a model for others to emulate. "It's got to be more than just a post office box for job seekers," he says. "We have to practise what the University teaches — we have to take the concepts being taught in our social science courses and apply them right here." On the labor relations side, Mr. Grant feels it is his function to develop a climate that is helpful, with a high degree of participation by line managers in negotiations. "A collective agreement is a statement of personnel policy that has been negotiated between employees and management - not between the employees and a 'hired gun' doing the talking for management. "Essentially, my role is to serve as a catalyst." Bob Grant, an extremely positive person who refused to be "written off" at the age of 22, says bluntly that if his department at UBC doesn't contribute to the effectiveness of the University then it shouldn't exist. And the new Director of Employee Relations makes it abundantly clear that he isn't planning to engineer a demise. specific problems," said Dr. Vogt. The presidential advisory committee is the result of recommendations by an ad hoc committee on day care facilities which was established by former president Walter Gage. That committee put forward 10 recommendations which the Board of Governors approved at their meeting of Feb. 3. Among the recommendations were: that the needs of staff, faculty and single parents for partially co-operative day care centres be given first priority; that the expansion of day care facilities on the campus be done initially through conversion of huts in Acadia Camp when they become available; that the University take a leadership role in arranging for the financing of renovations which will be required in the conversion of day-care-designated huts; and that the University "use its good offices in bringing together the appropriate bodies to ensure that the Day Care Co-ordinator's salary ... be maintained at an adequate level." Ceremony delayed The Thursday starting time of the official opening ceremony for new facilities in the Henry Angus Building at UBC has been changed from 3:30 p.m. to 5:00 p.m., UBC Commerce dean Noel Hall announced Tuesday. He said that many of those who planned to attend the UBC ceremony were associates of the late H.R. MacMillan, whose funeral will take place at 2:30 p.m. Thursday at Christ Church Cathedral. The new facilities being officislly opened are the Earle Douglas MacPhee Executive Conference Centre and the Cyrus McLean Audio-Visual Theatre.

The prime minister's cavalcade ran a gauntlet of peaceful protesters to enter the TRIUMF grounds.

Overall target for the fund drive is $1.3 million, exclusive of $925,000 pledges by the AMS and the University. Gifts will also be sought from UBC employed staff, corporations, foundations and UBC graduates. The first gift in a national campaign to complete UBC's Asian Centre has also been received by the University.
