Politically, we have seen what\nwide-spread apathy can do to government, with a long-\ndrawn-out debate over the rag we fly making a mockery of our nation's governing body.\nFor whatever the flag, we are convinced we are\nCanadians .\nBecause one word, equality, and all the other\ncliches are beginning to take on new slants, new\nmeanings for us. And these lead to new actions, too:\nthings which we can do here and now, not just in\nsome foreign land.\nAnd actions, because our involvement means more\nthan fester-head picketing and complaining. Sweat,\nthat ancient ingredient of worthwhile causes, is expanded daily by those overseas, across the country,\nand right here in Vancouver who quietly are helping\nothers.\nTurning patriotic, we are proud of the giant steps\nour province is making to build a better country.\nAnd proud that our progress is not accompanied\nby Whimperings about \"quiet revolutions\", but accompanied by the roaring of white water over power\ndams, and the tinkle of those golden dollars pouring in.\nWe are a special group of 1965 Canadians: graduates. Like everyone our age, we carry opinions and\nideas strongly influenced by conditions since the war\nout of which we came, but also tempered with a strong\nsense of history.\nTo all we are, however\u2014all we think and know\u2014\nmust be added to a strong streak of realism. Though\n\"involvement\" usually means idealism in some sense,\nthis is a real world with real problems to be met with\nreal solutions.\nWe are the graduates of 1965. The world of tomorrow will be our world: we will set the pace.\nLet us be sure we know who we are, and the direction forward from here will come easily.\nBerkeley\nThere is a lesson in Berkeley.\nOut of all the trouble there has come an idea which\nat face-value is obvious, but which was disregarded by\nthe administration of Berkeley and is disregarded by\nthe administration of UBC.\nPart and parcel of a university are the students.\nThe administration at UBC has seen fit to raise\ntuition fees once again.\nOnce again, facts proving that many B.C. students\ncannot afford these fee raises have been pushed aside\nin favor of adherence to \"national averages\".\nThe administration at Berkeley forgot that students\nhave guts and minds. They discovered students would\nnot tolerate blanket refusals of legitimate requests.\nThe administration at UBC appears to have forgotten that students everywhere are basically the same.\nBerkeley was a testing ground for student action.\nMuch was done there that was regretted later. But a\nvictory of the student over slick administrative practices\u2014easy to implement but death to learning\u2014was\nwon.\nBerkeley showed the way. It would perhaps be\noverly dramatic to say the boundaries of Berkeley\ncampus now extend to the northern end of Point Grey.\nBut there is a lesson in Berkeley.\n\u2014from the U. of Washington Daily\n\"I used to be a Longshoreman until I got replaced by a\nguy with a college degree in Political Science.\"\nW *.\\X \u00abi\\, >\u201e** \u00a3,.\n\", .<-ftfer\u00bb*^-vs\u00abu\u00bb\"&:\"- *v^\nHow can you give?\nThey use a shiv\nBy KEITH BRADBURY\nIt didn't take long, did it? You hadn't even received\nyour degree before the Alumni Association dropped you\nthat little letter to welcome you to the club.\nAnd more important, they\ngave you a little message\nabout not forgetting the old\nAlma Mater when you become rich.\n\u2022 \u2022 \u2022\nThat is just the first tap.\nFrom now on, as an alum\nof UBC you will be high on\nthe list whenever it comes to\nkeeping the old school financially afloat.\nBut, if you're like the majority of UBC graduates you\nwill do your best to ignore\nthese requests. You will even\nbecome immune to the type\nof pressure that attempts to\nembarrass you into giving.\nOne such recent one was to\nsay that law graduates were\nthe poorest givers. The newspapers loved that one.\nSomehow, we won't be exactly surprised, or even bothered, if you don't contribute.\nWhy should you?\n\u2022 \u2022 \u2022\nWithout' attempting to detract from the occasion of\ngraduation day, we can't help\nbut recall what could easily\nbe many students' recollection\nof UBC.\nHow about surly traffic\ncops, snarly library clerks\nand huffy registration officials?\nAnd what about bureaucratic bungling like registration line-ups, marks months\nafter exams and daily traffic\njams?\nAnd, of course, exorbitant\nlate registration fees, gouging\nlibrary fines and intimidating\nletters from Sir Ouvry's office.\nAnd fee raises.\nThese are some of the\nthings that stick.\nIf you happened to be in\nvolved in student government\nyou might even have some\nbetter examples of the disdain with which students are\noften treated. The way^ in\nwhich the Student Union\nBuilding has been kicked\naround the lot is one.\nIn fact you can probably\nthink of a dozen times since\nyou first set foot on the campus that the university's administration has stepped on\nyou.\n\u2022 \u2022 *\nThat, we think, is part of\nthe reason why UBC grads\nhave one of the worst giving\nrecords of North American\nuniversities. It's hard to love\nan institution that seems to\nshow daily that it doesn't give\na damn for you.\nAnd UBC does that.\nEven if you had the occasional inspiring professor,\neven if new horizons opened\nto you here, the contempt of\nthe official university community toward you could easily be enough to kill any feeling that could move you to\ngive.\nEven UBC's majestic campus setting doesn't make up\nfor this overpowering atmosphere.\n\u2022 \u2022 *\nUBC's big-thinking administration could, we think, take\na few public relations lessons. It could get ^them from\nSimon Fraser president Patrick McTaggart-Cowan who\nis making all kinds of friends\nby saying and showing that\nSFA is going to be a university with a heart.\nEvery province should\nhave at least one.\nTOMMY\nROT\nBy TOMMY WU\nThe public relations job done\non one aspect of the Three Uni-\nversaties Capital Fund Drive\nhas been unbelievably rotten.\nA high-power, high-price\nteam of slick p.r. types has\ngone boldly ahead to spread the\n\"give\" message with gimmick,\ngag and commendable perseverance.\nBut they have missed a sterling opportunity to answer anguished labor leaders justifiably worried about the high\ncost of studying.\nMurray Drew, president of\nthe Victoria local of the International Woodworks of Am-\nreica, said last month he couldn't encourage fellow workers\nto contribute to the fund.\nNot and\n\"have their\nchildren at a\nlater date denied the opportunity\nattending\ncause of\nhigh and\nof\nfoe-\nthe\nex-\n3\norbitant tuition fees now being\nanticipated.\"\nAnd, of course, now realized.\nNow, it seems to us these\ncomplaints, justifiable as they\nare, could have been answered\nby the p.r. types with a single\ndefinition.\nThe definition of the word\n\"capital\".\nSure, we see the phrase\n\"Support the Three Universities Capital Fund Drive\" glowering down at us from innumerable billboards but surely the\nlabor leaders \u2014 and Victoria\nCollege's fund boycott urgers\n\u2014 couldn't really have grasped\nthe meaning of the phrase.\nBecause if they realize that\nthe capital fund drive aims to\nprovide money for capital expansion \u2014 like buildings and\nfacilities \u2014 then surely they\ncan't kick.\nBecause as soon as enough\npressure is put on the federal\nand provincial governments,\noperating grants will go up and\nfees will come down.\nThe upper and middle classes aren't going to fight very\nhard for lower fees \u2014 they're\nkiddies can afford it.\nThe student government isn't\ngoing to fight very hard for\nlower fees \u2014 they are made up\nof law students living in fear\nand terror of the Bar Association's frown on any move\nwhich smacks of radicalism.\nThe students at university\naren't going to fight very hard\nfor lower fees \u2014 most students\nat a university can afford to go\nto that university.\nSo by the process of elimination it falls on labor to fight\nlike hell for more dough from\nthe governments so their Wds\ncan cash in on the benefits\nwhich accrue from a university\neducation.\nAnd it really falls on labor\nnot to fight like hell to cripple\nthe drive that is seeking to prepare a good place for their kids\nto study in \u2014 once the government is convinced they have as\nmuch right to a degree as the\nnext man.\nAll this seems self-evident,\nin a sense, and could surely\nhave been pointed out by a certain p.r. group.\nAnd it would have saved the\nfund a lot of miserable publicity.\nAnd, as it might yet turn out,\nwould have helped the fund to\nreach its goal. Thursday, May 27, 1965\nTHE UBYSSEY\nPage 5\nFEES\nContinued from Page 1\nEducation Minister Les Peterson denied that the provincial government knew anything about the fee increase.\n\"Anyone who suggests the\nprovincial government is responsible for the increase is\ntalking through his hat,\" said\nPeterson.\n\"Universities are not departments of government. They are\nindependent corporate bodies\nwith full autonomy. The provincial government doesn't\napprove their budget and has\nno control over their expenditures,\" he said.\nMacdonald said UBC tuition\nfees will remain considerably\nbelow the national average for\n80 per cent of the students.\nBut a comparison of UBC\nfees with the 1964 national average shows UBC is lower only\nin commerce and science.\nThe national average for\n1965 has not been computed.\nMacdonald said he did not\nthink capable and determined\nstudents would be prevented\nfrom attending UBC by inability to meet the rising costs\nof tuition fees.\nA recent survey of student\nresources, conducted by student employment head, Miles\nHacking, reveals that average\nincome for male students during the summer of 1964 was\n$1,028. The average summer\nincome of female students was\n$497.\nHacking estimates it costs\nthe average student $1,500 per\nyear to attend UBC, unless he\nlives at home and pays nothing\nfor room and board.\nThe statistics revealed then\nthat the average female student will need financial assistance totalling $1,000, and the\naverage male student $400.\nAMS officials are determined to oppose the increases.\n\"We don't intend to take\nthis lying down,\" said AMS\nfirst vice-president Bob Cruise.\n\"We are prepared to make\nstrong protests over this fee\nincrease. Just what form the\nprotest will take has not yet\nbeen decided,\" he said.\nSources close to AMS president Byron Hender report he\nis prepared to write a letter of\nprotest to the Bladen Commission.\nProf gets\nscholarships\nDr. Stefan Grzybowski,\nassociate professor of the\nUBC respiratory disease section, has been named 1965\nOverseas Scholar by the\nCanadian Tuberculosis Association.\nThe scholarship was founded by the CTA in 1952 in\nco-operation with the British Chest and Heart Association. It provides for the exchange of British and Canadian doctors to study medical programs and techniques.\nThe annual award of\n$1,500 is made to a chest\nspecialist showing promise\nin tuberculosis control and\nprogram administration.\nDr. Grzybowski will leave\nVancouver in August to\nspend three months visiting\nchest clinics, hospitals and\nschools of medicine in the\nUnited Kingdom.\nInternational incident\nThis beetle got tanked\nBy AL DONALD\nMemo to UBC grads heading for\nEurope this summer: watch out for\nthose Yugoslavian tanks.\nEspecially if you're driving a beetle.\nUBC student Kim McRae, 4557 W.\nFourth Avenue hit a Yugoslavian\ntank with a Volkswagen.\nMcRae was driving north towards\nBelgrade late at night when he rounded a corner and collided with army\ntank parked on a bridge.\n\"I was livid,\" said McRae, \"the\ntank was stopped in the middle of the\nbridge.

Page 6\nTHE UBYSSEY\nThursday, May 27, 1965\nVALEDICTORY\nBy PETER BRAUND\nWe of the 1965 Graduating Class have finally reached\na goal which has been a paramount objective of our lives\nduring the past few years. Graduation, however, is only a\npoint on the spectrum of our knowledge, for knowledge\nis both an endless and timeless process\u2014a process of learning. The timeless process of learning is best exemplified\nin the society and way of life of Athenian Greece. Two\nideals of this civilization permeated their process of learning and way of life; these two ideals are participation and\nthe desire for excellence.\n\u2022 \u2022 \u2022\nAthenian participation was a form of commitment\u2014\nto better oneself and one's society by participating in the\naffairs of family, business and state. These activities concerned not only the welfare of the Athenian himself and\nhis friends but also the welfare of his society and fellow\nman. The manifestation of learning through graduation\nhas necessitated this Grecian spirit of participation in our\nlives. Our academic life has meant a great deal of hard\nwork\u2014in preparing for exams, in completing laboratories,\nin finishing assignments and in writing essays. Our knowledge has also been increased through participation in the\n\"coffee break and lunch hour\" activities of political, religious and sociological discussions, of club and social programmes, and of any campus activity ranging from ahtletics\nto academic symposia. In the future, our knowledge will\nexpand through participation in life itself. The enemies of\nsocial, political and economic equality must be arrested.\nThe prejudices of hatred and untruth must be removed. The dangers of extremism, fanaticism and bigotry\nmust be moderated. The immortality of old institutions\nand conventions must be challenged. The process of learning and of living are both fascinating and unpredictable.\nWe, the graduates of 1965, must put forth our ideas and\nparticipate in the issues of our time.\n\u2022 \u2022 \u2022\nThe second ideal of Athenian Greek society mentioned earlier was that which superceded all other ideals\n\u2014 the desire for excellence. What legacy has this desire\nfor excellence produced for us? The Greeks developed a\nculture so excellent that it influenced the art and thought\nof* the whole western world. Describing Greek excellence\nin the arts, John Stuart Mills had this to say: \"Their\nliterature, their sculpture, their oratory, their architecture,\nwere perfect.\" Turning to the realm of the mind, the\nsame writer states that the Greeks were the founders of\nmathematics, of physics, of politics, of the philosophy of\nhuman nature and life, and that, in fact, \"they were the\nbeginners of nearly everything that the western world\nmakes its boast.\" The Greek legacy of this desire for\nexcellence is both a goal and criterion which we may\nstrive for in the future. Our education throughout the\nlast few years has included loving encouragement by our\nparents, intellectual stimulation by our professors, the\nfinancial assistance of society and academic guidance of\nthe administration. Through these four influences our\nlearning process has developed a criterion of excellence\nthat is individual in nature, i.e., that which is excellent\nis that individual action which is consistent with one's\nindividual beliefs or code of life. This individual consistency of action and belief can be the only criterion for\nexcellence. In the future excellence may be combined\nwith participation in the search for the best technique,\nthe most comprehensive theory, the best work of art or\nthe most efficient operation. The knowledge we have\nacquired and will acquire will best be served through\nstriving for this Grecian \"desire for excellence\".\n\u2022 \u2022 \u2022\nAs graduates, we have acquired the advanced knowledge and skills that incur a responsibility to society to\napply them with wisdom, judgment and perspective. This\nobligation must not be forgotten in our quest for a\nrewarding personal career; it cannot be avoided by those\nof us who are the future custodians of our intellectual\ncommunity. I sincerely believe that the essence of learning and living may be found in the two Greek ideals of\nparticipation in the affairs of one's time, and the desire\nfor excellence in thought, word and deed.

An ill-equipped student\nstumbles blindly through a\nmaze of fact and fiction about\nthe world and his classmates\nin an effort to come up with\nsome memorable statements.\nIt is a ridiculous and hopeless\ntask. Our keen-eyed prophet\nhasn't the experience to be\ntoo accurate about the future.\nHe hasn't met too many of\nhis fellow graduates because\nuniversities are too large\nthese days. And he doesn't\nreally know if there will be\na world to prognosticate\nabout since Vietnams and\nCubas keep busting out all\nover the place.\n\u2022 \u2022 \u2022\nHopefully this year's crew\nof graduates will be able i.o\ncope with the more frightening aspects of life and death\nin the next 50-100 years. Take\ndeath\u2014it goes with taxes and\nprophets remember? United\nStates and Russian researchers are not sure death isn't a\ncurable disease. Right now\ndeath is a rather serious affliction, say the researchers,\nindeed all but fatal. So, in the\nhopes that a cure will soon be\nfound, free enterprisers in the\nLos Angeles area are building deep freeze units for\ncorpses. Simply perform a\nfew mechanical operations to\nprevent deterioration and\nwake when a rejuvination\nprocess is perfected.\n\u2022 \u2022 \u2022\nThis rather startling development relates to another\nproblem the present generation doesn't seem to want to\nface. Everyone has heard\nabout the population explosion but few have any idea\nwhat it means for the future.\nIt is easy to suggest that by\nthe year 2450 there won't be\nenough room to stand all the\npeople shoulder - to - shoulder\non the earth. \"Pshaa,\" you\nsay, \"Science will have developed new methods to solve\nthese problems.\" Certainly,\nbut how do you tell people in\na free society they must have\nonly one child and perhaps\nnone? Add to this the possibility of immortality and it\nis not difficult to see that unless the graduates of this year\nand the following dozen do\nmore- thinking about such\nthings we are in trouble.\nThe political alignment of\nthe world in the next 50 to\n100 years will make our present setup look simple. By the\nyear 2000, the experts are\nguessing, there will be three\nand possibly four powers of\nequal strength \u2014 U.S.S.R.,\nU.S.A., China and perhaps\nIndia. If those four are getting along as well as they\npresently are it is possible\nthat this year's graduating\nclass is going to have to produce some extraordinary politicians. Undoubtedly the\npressures on the average citizen will be greater as a result\nof this development. Whatever happens the powers will\nall have bombs, and buttons\nto push in order to eradicate\nthemselves. Yes, UBC, some\ndiplomats of great stature for\nthe future please.\n\u2022 \u2022 \u2022\nThe cybernetics revolution\nmay reverse our present concept of an acceptable ratio of\nwork and play for man. The\nproliferation of computers\nand computer-controlled devices is already doing away\nwith many of the accounting\nand simple mechanical operations considered necessary for\nevery day life. Computers,\nfor example, have already\nproven that they can set the\ntype for this booklet far more\naccurately, quickly and economically than the present\nprinter working on his unwieldy linotype machine. Experts have estimated that\nby the end of the century ten\npercent of the working force\nwill be able to produce all the\ngoods and services required.\nAnd what happens to the remaining souls? Another problem our graduates must start\nworking on before it is too\nlate.

They spent\none evening a week at Oakalla\nPrison Farm.\nArising out of a field trip by\nthe pre-medical society three\nyears ago, the visits were organized through the deputy\nwarden by the students to include one evening a week of\nsocial contact with inmates.\nSimilar volunteer programs\nhad been held by the Faculty\nof Education, with men and\nwomen visiting separately. But\nthe pre-med group was different: mixing freely with inmates\nliving and working in the hospitals they endeavoured to\nestablish a relaxed atmosphere\nthrough plain talk, cards, ping-\npong, films and sing-along.\nThe girls in the group, needless to say, turned out to be\ngreat equalizers and had admirable morale value.\nAbout eight Thursday evenings were spent in this manner.\nIt soon became evident that the\nmen had never been so friendly with visitors before, morale\nhad been lifted considerably\nand cooperation with the\nguards was more readily\nachieved.\nIt was a success. On the last\nnight, over coffee and farewell\ncake, one of the inmates announced that as a token of\ntheir appreciation\" the fellows\nhad obtained for the visitors\none coffee table and two lamp\ntables manufactured in the prison workshop.\n3\nKEEP UP ON CAMPUS NEWS I\nHave The UBYSSEY\nmailed to your home\nONLY $5.00 PER.
