CANADA'S\nCOMMUNICATIONS\nSATELLITE\nEARLY\nSPACE\nIhat's onf. small step tor man,\none giant leap for mankind.\"\nWith these now famous words, U.S.\nastronaut Neil Armstrong stepped\nout onto the moon, the first man to\nwalk on its surface. And his words\nrang true in more than one sense.\nThe Oight to the moon undoubtedly\nmarked an important step forward\nin the technology of space travel.\nBut it was also a giant leap forward\nin the history of man's exploration\nof his universe.\nAs such, this feat by the U.S. has\nbeen widely and justly acclaimed. It\nwas, of course, the most glamorous\nof space projects. Efforts in other\nareas and by other nations have\ntended to be dwarfed by it, at least\nin terms of public attention. Yet,\nsome efforts should not be lost sight\nof. For while Apollo XI was streaking toward the moon, work was\nquietly going on in Canada on a\ndevelopment that will likely have\nmore profound and immediate impact on this nation's way of life than\nany number of flights to other\nplanets.\nThe fact is that Canada is on its\nway to being the first nation in the\nworld to have its own domestic\nsatellite communications system. A\ncombined public-private corporation, Telesat Canada, has been\nestablished and the first satellite is\ndue to be launched in late 1971.\nwith the system being fully operational in early 1972. That day will\nlikely be as important in Canada's\nhistory as that day in 1885 when the\nlast spike was driven in the Canadian Pacific Railway.\nNot only will the satellite communications system represent a\nmajor step forward in Canadian\ntechnology, it will also represent a\ngiant leap forward in the capacity of\nCanadians to communicate with\neach other. The system will boost\ngreatly telephone, telegraph, data\nand television transmission to all\nparts of the country. And it will\nherald the coming revolution in\ncommunications, a revolution with\ngreat potential benefits\u00E2\u0080\u0094and problems.\nBy CLIVE COCKING All of this is not to say that other\nnations are not also developing\ndomestic satellite communications\nsystems. The U.S., the Soviet Union,\nJapan and several European countries have development programs\nunderway. In addition, there is already established, sparked by U.S.\ncommercial interests, an international satellite communications sys\ntem. Intelsat (International Telecommunications Satellite Consortium), in which Canada is participating. It has four satellites aloft.\nBut the point is that Canada is doing\nmore than hold its own in this\nimportant field. As Communications\nMinister Eric Kierans told Parliament this spring: \"In the conquest of\nspace, while our contribution is\nmodest by comparison to those of\nthe United States and the USSR, we\nnevertheless rank among the pioneers.\" And that undoubtedly comes\nas a surprise to many people.\nY-- ,f\nMinutes later this U.S. rocket fired\nCanada's ISIS 'A' into orbit. Alouette II is one of three Canadian research satellites in orbit. Third nation to launch a satellite, Canada may be\nfirst to have a domestic satellite communications system and UBC grads are helping develop it.\nIt all began when Alouette I was\nlaunched in September, 1962, making Canada the third nation in the\nworld (after Russia and the U.S.) to\nhave a satellite in orbit. This was\nfollowed by Alouette II in 1966 and\nISIS 'A' early this year, both research satellites investigating the\nionosphere. Two further research\nsatellites, ISIS 'B' and ISIS C will\nbe launched in the next few years.\nAt present the federal government is\nstudying design proposals for the\nfirst communications satellite developed by RCA Limited and\nNorthern Electric. Arrangements\nfor its manufacture are expected to\nfollow shortly.\nIn an indirect way, the University\nof B.C. has contributed to these\ndevelopments. Several UBC graduates have played important parts in\ndesigning and developing the Alouette and ISIS satellites. They are\nnow working hard on the communications satellite and related facilities.\nAt RCA's labs in Montreal, for\nexample, Terence A. Cagney, BASc\n'55, served as project engineer for\nISIS 'A' and is now manager, electrical design, in the company's aerospace engineering department. He is\nsupervising the staff responsible for\nthe design, test and calibration of\nelectronic equipment and subsystems for use in satellites and\nassociated ground support facilities.\nJ. S. Korda, BASc'65, is in charge\nof aerospace reliability engineering\nwith the same company. Korda's\njob is to see that an RCA communications satellite will operate successfully for its intended five-year lifetime. Also with RCA, J. A. Stov-\nman, BASc'53, is responsible for\nsubsystem designs, specifications\nand drawing approval relating to\nall satellite transmitters, receivers,\nantennas and tape recorders.\nIn Ottawa, W. R. Reader, MASc\n'62, is manager of the aerospace IV\ngroup with Northern Electric. His\nNorthern Electric satellite (above)\nshares oil drum look with RCA\nplan. Paving way for series of automated satellite earth stations in our north\nis new station near Bouchette, Que. UBC grads helped design it.\nW. R. Reader inspects model of\ncommunications satellite antenna.\nrecent work has involved system design of a satellite communication\nsystem for northern Canada and\nTesting satellite equipment are\ngrads Quon Chow (centre) and\nJohn Bond.\nproject management on the design\nand construction of a prototype\nearth-terminal for this system. That\nterminal was recently completed at\nBouchette, Quebec, 70 miles north\nof Ottawa.\nTwo other UBC graduates are\nalso involved with Northern Electric in its communications satellite\nprogram. John A. Bond, BASc'64,\nMASc'67, is engaged in developing\nautomatic control and switching systems for use in earth terminals.\nQuon S. Chow, BASc'64, is working\non developing a special modulation\ntechnique for encoding the television sound signal inside the picture\nsignal for transmission over a satellite link.\nAnother alumnus is one of the\nkey personnel with the federal department of communications, the\ndepartment responsible for the satellite communications system. He is\nG. K. Davidson, BA'41, BASc'41,\nthe director of operations for the\nsatellite project.\nAfter that important count-down\nin 1971, a NASA Delta or Atlas\nrocket will fling into space an object\nresembling a six-foot tall oil drum\nwith, an antenna of equal size\nmounted on it. That will be Canada's first communications satellite.\nBoth satellite designs, while differing in details, look like oversize\noil drums. Each consists of a large\ncylindrical housing with an antenna\n(elliptical in one design, paraboloi-\ndal in the other) mounted on top.\nWeight at lift-off will be about 1,000\npounds. Thousands of solar cells on\nthe surface of the satellite will be\nthe main source of power for the\nelectronic equipment, backed up by\nnickel-cadmium batteries.\nTo be an effective communications instrument, the satellite must\nbe in synchronous orbit with the\nearth\u00E2\u0080\u0094in effect, hover stationary.\nThe satellite will consequently be\nthrust into orbit 22,300 miles high\nover the equator and \"parked\"\nin the same longitude as Winnipeg.\nSince the orbit period at that height\nis 24 hours, the satellite will then\nappear to be stationary relative to\nthe earth. Its antenna will be permanently beamed toward Canada,\nproviding coverage for the whole\nnation.\nThe ground segment of the system will consist of a master control\nstation, four regional multiple-\naccess, transmit-receive stations\nscattered across Canada and 20 tele-\n7 vision receive stations located in the\nnorth. Total cost is expected to be\nbetween $65 to $75 million. For\nthis price, Canada will get greater\ncommunications capacity at a time\nwhen this is becoming vitally needed.\nForecast growth of long-distance\ntelephone circuits, for example, is\nabout 20 per cent annually. The\nsatellite will add capacity for six\nnew television channels or 6,000\ntelephone voice circuits. It is expected this will meet Canada's needs\nfor 10 years.\nThe advantages to the system will\nbe many. \"The most important advantage,\" said Terence Cagney,\n\"will be the increase in capacity\nand flexibility the satellite system\nwill offer for television, telephone\nand data transmission traffic. This\nis particularly true in northern\nareas, where vast stretches of wilderness and very low population\ndensity virtually preclude the use\nof terrestial cable or microwave\nlinks.\" The domestic satellite system will provide the north, for the\nfirst time, with high quality telephone and data transmission service\n\u00E2\u0080\u0094and full television coverage. It\nwill bring the north into the mainstream of Canadian life.\nFor the rest of Canada there will\nbe other benefits as well as a simple\nincrease in communications capacity. For one thing, it will give a\nboost to bilingualism, since it will\nbe possible to extend television services in both languages to all Canadians at an economic cost. It will\nalso enable television broadcasters\nto provide separate television distribution to each of the six time\nzones or alternately common simultaneous distribution to all areas for\nevents of national interest. And\nnational educational television may\nbecome an economic possibility.\nOne of the main reasons Canada\nis moving so swiftly in this field is\nthat there is a shortage of \"parking\"\nspots in space. For a satellite to be\nin synchronous orbit with the earth\nit must be stationed over the equator at 22,300 miles high. Communications satellites must be six degrees\nof longitude apart or their signals\nwill interfere with one another. This\nmeans that in the area serving North,\nCentral and South America there\nare at most six or seven locations.\nThe U.S. wants four to cover four\ntime zones, Canada wants one, Bra\nzil wants one and some other South\nand Central American nations are\nalso showing interest. The best way\nto be sure of a spot is to be there\nfirst.\nThat's why Canada is making\narrangements with Intelsat to lease\nthe Early Bird satellite when its\nactive broadcast life ends next year.\nThe 'plan is to use Early Bird to\nwork the kinks out of ground stations at Bouchette, Que., and Mill\nVillage, N.S., and to gradually maneuver the satellite into one of the\ncoveted parking spots covering\nNorth America. Then when the time\ncomes to put up our own communications satellite, it can slip into, the\nspot held by Early Bird.\nThis determination gives an indication of how important a domestic\ncommunications satellite system is\nconsidered to be by Ottawa. The\nsatellite may well do for Canada's\nnorth what the building of the railroad did for southern Canada: unify\nand stimulate development. As\nCommunications Minister Kierans\ntold Parliament: \"Once in operation\nthe domestic communications satellite system will constitute a project\nof which all Canadians will be\nproud. We will have blazed a trail\nboth in what we are doing and in the\nway that we are doing it. Above all,\nit will be a project that will help to\nknit this country more closely together and to narrow the differences\nin living standards between those\nCanadians who live amid the rigours of the frontier and those who\nlive amid the comforts of the cities.\nIn essence, the domestic communications satellite system will reflect,\nand will help to fulfill, the substance of confederation.\"\nCanada's satellite effort, of course,\nwill not end there. It is recognized\nthat a second communications satellite will ultimately have to be parked\nnext to the first to meet the nation's\nfuture needs. Considerable thought\nis also being given by the federal\ngovernment to the possible use of\nsatellites for resource surveying and\nmapping.\nOn this score, Terence Cagney\nfeels Canada must push ahead even\nmore strongly than it is now doing.\nSays Cagney: \"I would like to see\nthis country invest more heavily in\ncertain aspects of this field which,\nat the present time, show promise of\npaying handsome dividends in terms\nof the nation's development. I am\nthinking particularly about resource\nsurvey satellites, about communications satellites using ultra-wideband\nlaser carriers and about direct-tele-\nsat communications satellites deriving power from atomic reactors. I\nfeel there is no question about the\navailability of competent Canadian\nscientists and engineers to undertake\nthese projects, but no progress will\nbe made unless this country, as a\nwhole, is willing to devote the resources necessary for their development.\"\nThe potential benefits are obviously great. In the area of communications alone, the \"global village\"\nMcLuhan talks about may well become a reality. With programs and\nnews criss-crossing the globe almost\ninstantaneously through satellites,\nman may well begin to feel more\nstrongly the common humanity he\nshares with inhabitants of other\ncountries.\nBut at the same time, satellite\ncommunication will bring with it\nsome thorny problems. At present,\nthe communications satellites put\nforth a feeble signal which must\nbe received at a ground station and\nbe amplified for transmission into\nhomes. The ground station obviously serves as a control point where\na vigilant government can see, for\ninstance, that television programs\nbeamed into Canadian homes have\n55 per cent Canadian content. But\nwhat happens when the satellite has\nenough power to bypass the ground\nrelays and broadcast directly into\nhome television sets?\nThis is something that should\nhave more than just television network owners concerned. Perhaps\n1984 is closer than we think.

CUSO has become big\nbusiness in the external aid field.\nSeven years ago, CUSO was\nlaunched on a shoestring and a wave\nof enthusiasm in Canadian universities. That first year, its organizers\nscrounged a budget of $15,000 and\nsent 16 volunteers, four from UBC,\nto three countries. Today, CUSO\nhas an annual budget of $4.5 million, a permanent staff of 55, including 25 area coordinators overseas. The organization has 1,100\nvolunteers serving in 43 countries\nand has just sent out a freshly-\ntrained crop of 700. Among the\nCUSO staff, executive salaries now\nrange from $9,000 to $14,000 a\nyear.\nBut not everyone is happy with\nCUSO's burgeoning size and newfound corporate image.\nThere is a fear within the organization that CUSO, once a vital,\ninformal group of volunteers, is los-\n10\ning its intimacy in a spreading bureaucracy where too many people\ndon't know each other and couldn't\ncare less. There is fear too, that the\nbureaucracy and expanding budget\nof CUSO eventually will promote a\ntop-directed organization tied too\nclosely to Canada's foreign policy\nand which is forced to employ an\nincreasing number of unqualified\npeople. In essence, the underlying\nconcern is that CUSO is losing its\nidentity as a volunteer, student\norganization where the incentive,\ninitiative and policy come from local\nuniversity groups rather than a\nbureaucratic centre.\nOne of the critics of this new\nCUSO is Joseph Richardson, UBC\nAssistant Professor of Asian Studies. He goes so far as to say, \"We\nshould plan to phase CUSO out in 5\nyears. We'll need radical new thinking in CUSO in a few years which\nwon't be possible if a status quo is\nallowed to develop. When jobs are\nat stake, change is naturally resisted.\"\nMrs. Janet Roberts, a 1966 volunteer to Ghana and acting coordinator of the CUSO committee at\nUBC, is also unhappy with the way\nthings are going in the organization.\nShe observed, \"CUSO is not attract\ning people who know anything\nabort the developing world or who\ncan empathize with the problems\nthere. We are attracting people who\nwanl their little adventure, who tend\nto talk about the price they're going\nto pay their houseboys. CUSO's new\nimage is attracting status quo\npeople. It has lost its vitality in\nterms of the people who go overseas.\" She added, \"It's time there\nwas a dialogue in CUSO to determine where the organization is going\nand why. The CUSO people in\nOttawa should know that there is\nwidespread discontent at the local\nlevel and among returned volunteers.\"\nProf. Richardson agrees. \"There\nhas been a move in the national\norganization to emphasize development and professionalism\", he\nnoted. \"There is a sense in which\nthis is a kind of arrogance because\nhowever competent volunteers are,\nneither their competence nor the\nstructure of CUSO can be said to be\nreally significant in terms of industrial and social development in any\nMrs Bradbury, BA'67, a former\nUbyssey reporter, is a Vancouver\nfreelance writer. She plans to return\nto UBC next year to enter law. <^i^\nv\nCUSO agriculture volunteer Jim Ward, BSA'64, (top, left) helps Indian farmer fix his crude plough. And Martin\nHorswill, (bottom, right) conducts informal English class under a shady tree in Kenya.\nof the developing countries. Development is the business of international organizations and governments. To have this slogan is\nunrealistic. CUSO is a matter of\nindividuals going out and giving and\nreceiving a cultural experience. So\nthe real indices of success in CUSO\nshould remain the enthusiasm of the\nvolunteers and their personally enriching experiences.\"\nHowever, those now in positions\nof authority within CUSO deny that\nthe organization is losing its effectiveness. Rather, they see changes\nwhich they describe as evolutionary.\nJean-Marc Metieier, director of\nthe CUSO Asia program and returned volunteer from Thailand,\nsaid that the original ideology of\nCUSO has undergone a definite\nevolution in terms of what developing countries need. He said that\nformerly the volunteer was a BA\ngraduate who \"went abroad to suffer\nwith the people or try to make deep\ncontacts and establish communication\". During the last few years this\nemphasis has shifted and CUSO has\nstressed professional skills and efficiency because overseas governments increasingly want professional people.\nRobert Sallery, director of plan\nning for CUSO, does not agree that\nthe usefulness of CUSO is nearing\nan end. He pointed out, \"I think we\ncan go on longer in terms of providing manpower even though it means\nthat we may have to change some of\nour conditions. The BA graduate is\nnot completely useless. We might\nprovide him with assistance so that\nhe can become retrained. This\nmeans, of course, that we would\nhave to up our commitment in terms\nof finance. We also need a more\nextensive advertising campaign if\nwe're going to attract the 15,000\nvolunteers we need to fill job re\nquests we get each year from developing countries. In the next year\nor so we plan to open recruiting\noffices in the major Canadian\ncities.1'\nPresently, CUSO fills 700 job requests a year, mainly for 'middle\nmanpower'\u00E2\u0080\u0094science and mathematics graduates, teachers, engineers,\ntechnicians, nurses, and dentists.\nGerald Savory, director of the\n1969 UBC CUSO orientation program and supervisor of UBC extension public affairs programs, disagrees with critics who say CUSO is\nselecting the wrong kind of person\n11 UBC's Stake\nIn CUSO\nAS ONE OF THE THREE founding\nuniversities of CUSO and home of\nits Asian orientation program,\nUBC considers itself a vital member of CUSO. This explains in\nlarge measure why some UBC\npeople are so sharply critical of\nthe organization today.\nUBC's interest in overseas service began in 1957 when John\nYoung, BCom'49, MEd'61, now\nprincipal of Campbell River Senior\nSecondary School, went to Sarawak to help set up a formal education system there. When he returned he interested two UBC undergraduates, Brian Marson, BA-\n'62, MA'64, and Michael Clague,\nBA'63, in overseas service. In the\nfall of 1960 a committee of interested faculty and students headed\nby Dr. Cyril Belshaw, now UBC\nhead of anthropology, formed the\nPresident's Committee on Overseas Service with the aim of establishing a Canadian Peace Corps. In\nFebruary 1961, under the sponsorship of the National Commission\nfor UNESCO, interested delegates\nfrom UBC, the University of Toronto and Laval University met in\nOttawa to establish a national\norganization. Besides representation from the three universities\nthere were also delegates from the\nCanadian Union of Students, the\nWorld University Service and the\nStudent Christian Movement.\nA constitution was prepared\nafter this meeting and adopted at\nthe founding meeting in June 1961\nheld at McGill University. UBC\nwas represented by Dr. Belshaw\nand the AMS vice-president Eric\nRicker.\nDuring the summer of 1961,\ntwo home economists were sent\noverseas from UBC under the banner of CUSO after the Students'\nCouncil raised $1,000 and a public appeal raised $5,000. In the\nsummer of 1962, six people went\nout from UBC to Sarawak, Ghana\nand Nigeria. Since then 200 UBC\nstudents have gone overseas with\nCUSO.\nIt was three years before CUSO\nrealized that volunteers needed\nsome sort of instruction before being sent to jobs overseas. In 1964\nthe job of teaching volunteers going to Asia was given to UBC.\nThis summer 64 volunteers attended classes conducted mainly\nby Asian students studying at\nUBC. Thirty-three volunteers later\nwent to Thailand, 13 to India and\n18 to Malaysia. Crash courses in\nHindi, Thai and the Malay languages were given the students as\nwell as classes in \"sensitivity training\"-\u00E2\u0080\u0094a mixture of role-playing\nand discussions of religion and\nculture where volunteers learned\nhow to avoid insulting the beliefs\nand culture of the people they\nwould meet.\nWith this year's volunteers, the\nmotives for joining CUSO were,\nas one might expect, as varied as\ntheir personalities.\nOne recent graduate doctor said\nthat he and his wife had been\nthinking of joining CUSO since\n1963. \"CUSO will give me two\nyears experience medically and I\ncan help,\" he said.\nHe and his wife have been posted\nto Samanggang, Sarawak, a four-\nhour drive by Land Rover from\nthe capital city of Kuching. They\nare expecting their first child this\nwinter. His wife will teach science\nand mathematics.\n\"We're really going just to fill\na gap,\" said one girl. \"In some\ncountries 70 per cent of the skilled\njobs are held by ex-patriots. The\ndeveloping countries want us only\nuntil they can provide their own\neducated people. Anyway, what\nwe'll do in terms of service is\nminiscule\u00E2\u0080\u0094we won't change much\nand missionary zeal definitely isn't\nwanted. I'm going to fill a job.\"\nAnother volunteer said simply,\n\"I'm going because I have a rather\ndull family.\" \u00E2\u0096\u00A1\nas a volunteer. \"We're definitely not\nselecting people,\" he said, \"whose\nimage is everything we typify as the\nNorth American ethic\u00E2\u0080\u0094materialism,\nsuccess, and to hell with service to\nmankind. The kids we're getting are\nkids who among other things are\nwilling to question North American\nideals. \"\nRobert Sallery agrees. \"If someone comes out of Canadian society\nwho is really kind of fuzzy wuzzy,\nwho doesn't have any idea of security, who has personal hangups, who\nwants to get away from it all, Sarawak is hardly the place to go,\" he\nsaid. \"So we have to screen thoroughly, by peer references, work\nreferences, academic records, interviews. There are a lot of paper\nrevolutionaries in Canada who\nwould say CUSO is just another\nCanadian Establishment organization. Anyone who knows about the\ntremendous revolution facing countries like Tanzania where CUSO is\nworking, knows our volunteers\naren't a status quo group.\"\nWithin CUSO there are also questions about the financial support the\norganization gets from the federal\ngovernment. Canadian external aid\namounts to one per cent of the Gross\nNational Product. According to a\nCUSO spokesman the government\ncontribution to CUSO accounts for\nless than one percent of the external\naid budget. At present, 90 per cent\nof the CUSO budget comes in the\nform of a per capita volunteer grant\nfrom the Canadian International\nDevelopment Agency. The rest\ncomes from private contributions\nincluding a large amount from\nCanadian university alumni.\nMrs. Roberts feels that UBC\nalumni should be made aware of the\ntype of organization CUSO is becoming and think seriously before\ncontributing. She explained that the\nper capita grant means that CUSO\nmust fill a certain quota of jobs\nevery year in order to get enough\nmoney to maintain the large national\nand overseas staff. This puts pressure on local university committees\nwhich select candidates across Canada. For instance, at the beginning\nof this year selection committees\nwere asked by the Ottawa office not\nto encourage BA graduates. By May\nthe volunteer quota still had not\nbeen reached and Ottawa reversed\nits decision. The result was that\nUBC local committee members felt\n12 they were forced to select volunteers they had originally rejected.\nAccording to one committee member the Caribbean is well-known to\nCUSO people as a place where\npeople who can't be placed elsewhere are given assignments. He\nsaid that last year 50 per cent of the\nvolunteers who went to Jamaica\ncame back because \"they just weren't carefully selected\".\nAnother concern regarding the\nfinancing of the organization is that\nas the gap between private and public contribution widens, CUSO will\nbecome increasingly more dependent upon the federal government\nfor money and in danger of becoming financially and politically committed to Canada's foreign policy.\nThe critics of the present CUSO\noperation believe the organization\ncan be more effective if it remains\nindependent.\nOne UBC committee member\npointed out that CUSO withdrew\nvolunteers from Biafra two days\nbefore the start of the civil war\nthere but will send volunteers to\ncentral Nigeria next year. He claims\nthat the excuse of physical danger in\nBiafra is invalid because Nigeria is\nCUSO volunteer Mrs. Janet Roberts, BA'66 (centre), enjoys a moment\nof musical relaxation with her class in Ghana.\nat war also. He said, \"I think a lot\nof CUSO people feel betrayed by\nthis. We were previously politically\nindependent and we didn't play the\nold political games but now it seems\nas if we are.\"\nThere isn't much hope that\nCUSO's problems will be solved to\neveryone's satisfaction.

From\nthe intensity of protest from church\nauthorities in Germany, the Vatican\nand elsewhere, it was clear that the\nplay had touched on a raw nerve.\nThe churchmen (Protestant as well\nas Catholic) had every reason to be\nsensitive about the role their respective churches played in Nazi Germany.\nThe blunt truth is, as UBC history professor Dr. John Conway\nmakes clear in his new book, The\nNazi Persecution of the Churches,\nthat both wings of the Christian\nchurch failed in general to stand up\nfor their faith or for the sanctity of\nhuman life during that dark era.\nDr. Conway details how and why\nthe churches failed in their mission.\nHe focusses particularly on the policies followed by the Nazi regime in\nits attack on the churches, which\nwas carried out on three fronts.\nFirst, the Nazis sought to expand\ntheir administrative control of\nchurch affairs to bring the German\nEvangelical Church and the Roman\nCatholic Church under the authority of the State. Secondly, they\nmaintained an intensive ideological\nstruggle aimed at establishing a new\nHitlerian cult to replace Christianity. And finally, the Nazis resorted\nto their old standbys of terror and\nintimidation. By the end of the war\nthe Nazis had achieved much of\ntheir goal of eliminating the Christian Church as an influence.\nDespite the danger, however,\nthere were some Protestant and\nCatholic clergy who did speak out\nagainst what was happening. But\nthey were a tiny minority. The\nmajority were silent. Many, such as\nthe \"German Christians\", actively\nsupported the Nazi policies. The\nattempted extermination of the\nJews, the Nazi acts of aggression,\nthe brutalities in occupied countries\n14\n\u00E2\u0080\u0094all of these failed to elicit resistance or protests from church leaders\nAnd the moral failure of the\nchurches was not due, as Dr. Conway reveals, merely to Nazi oppression; it went deeper. It stemmed\nfrom a combination of the German\nchurches' historic tendency to pietism, their Lutheran tradition of\nobedience to the State, their political\nconservatism\u00E2\u0080\u0094and a measure of\npolitical opportunism, and cowardice.\nDr. Conway does not mince\nwords as to where the blame must\nlie. Of the churches, he says: \"Humanly speaking, their leaders by\ncollaborating with the Nazis, were\nno more and no less guilty than the\nrest of their fellow countrymen. But,\nas custodians of the Christian Gospel, their conduct must be judged by\ndifferent standards. Their readiness\nto allow the truths of the Christian\nfaith to be distorted for the purposes\nof political expediency, and their\nfailure to denounce the crimes so\nopenly committed in their society,\nplace a heavy burden of guilt upon\nthem.\"\nThe Nazi Persecution of the Churches, by J.

But one of\nthe gloomiest was made this spring\nby UBC Deputy President William\nArmstrong in an address to Beyond\n'69, the UBC Alumni Association\nconference on higher education.\nDean Armstrong said: \"This province in general has done a very\ngood job of progressively planning\nthe development and financing of its\nrail system, its ferry system, its\npower system and even some aspects\nof its resource development. I see\nlittle evidence of similar planning in\nthe educational system. There really\nis no plan for the development of\nthe total educational system in the\nprovince.\"\nThis was just one of many disturbing bits of news received by the\n100-odd people attending the one-\nday conference, held June 14, in\nTotem Park Residences. And this\none fact seemed to lie at the root of\nso many of the problems discussed\nat the meeting. The conference was\ndesigned to acquaint the broader\ncommunity with the facts about university finance and planning today\nand to equip key alumni with an\ninformational background to actively support the cause of higher\n.education in their communities.\nHighlights from the\nBeyond 69 Conference\nThe conference used, as a basis\nfor discussion, a 20-page factual\ndocument on university finance and\nplanning entitled, Academic Goals\nand Financial Realities . The booklet is a combination of information\nand data drawn from university\nsources and public documents. It\ntoo disclosed some grim realities\nabout the university picture.\nOne of these was that UBC is\nmore crowded than many other\nleading Canadian universities. For\nevery fulltime student, UBC has 115\nsquare feet of useable space, whereas\nthe University of Alberta has 148\nand the University of Toronto 156\nsquare feet. This situation is attributed to a shortage of capital financing. And here the booklet reveals\nthat Ontario and Alberta annually\nprovide more than twice the capital\nmoney for universities as does B.C.\nFor 1969-70 the per capita grant to\nuniversities in B.C. is $7.27; in Alberta it is $19.85 and in Ontario it\nis $13.65.\nThe booklet also notes that the\noperating grants to the university\nare not adequate and are also\nbehind those provided universities\nin Ontario and Alberta. For universities in B.C. the 1969-70\noperating grant per capita is $31.52,\ncompared to $43.26 for Alberta and\n$33.66 for Ontario. It is, however,\nadmitted that the operating grant\npicture is not as serious as that of\ncapital grants. But it is serious\nenoi:gh to have a detrimental effect\non faculty-to-student ratios. The\nbooklet, in fact, points out that\nUBC's ratio of 1:15 is too high for\ngood university teaching and certainly higher than most other leading Canadian universities, the top\nones having ratios of 1:10 or 1:11.\nThe conference speakers examined the implications of these\nfacts. The highlights are contained\non the following pages.\nDean William Armstrong\nDeputy president, UBC\nIn recent months many members of faculty have spoken\nof limiting enrolment at UBC to\n20,000, 22,000, 25,000 or 28,000\nstudents. It's a bit of a lottery as to\nhow you select these numbers. I\nwould say that it's not feasible to\nlimk enrolment even in the general\ncourses at this university unless alternative facilities are available elsewhere. It is almost irresponsible, I\nthink, to limit enrolment in disciplines which are available only at\nUBC at the present time. The best predictions at the moment suggest that in September we\nwill have over 21,500 students on\nthis campus. And in about four\nyears we could have about 30,000\nstudents. Despite any plans or projections for new universities and\nnew colleges, that figure will probably change very little. The time\navailable simply does not permit\nconstruction of major facilities or\nmajor planning, so many of our\nproblems in planning this campus\nare really of a short range nature to\ntake care of something like 30,000\nstudents by 1973.\nNow to look for a moment at\nthis business of space use efficiency.\nWe like universities to have a\ndegree of flexibility in space use\nthat permits holding unscheduled\nclasses, tutorials, seminar groups at\ntimes when students and teaching\nstaff wish to do this. However, this\nis really not feasible at the present\ntime and I hesitate to say it but\nwe're carrying out detailed space\ninventories on a continuing basis.\nWe feel that more and more classes\nmust be rigidly scheduled to make\nthe most efficient use of space. In\nmany ways this goes against good\neducational practice but simply because of limitations of the past two\nyears we have been using our new\nlarge computer facility to adjust\ntime-tables from the Monday, Wednesday, Friday peak pressures on\nspace and level these out. We probably will be able to cope with the\nundergraduate registration certainly\nin this coming September and possibly for the 1970-71 academic year\nin lecture rooms and undergraduate\nlaboratories. However, as of September this year, we simply have\nrun out of offices for new faculty\nmembers and there are about 200\ncoming.\nIn an attempt to correct this to\nsome degree, we're rushing the construction of temporary or prefabricated buildings to house the majority of the new faculty members and\nto provide some additional seminar\nand study space.\nThere really is no plan for the\ndevelopment of the total educational\nsystem in the province. This province in general has done a good\njob of progressively planning the\ndevelopment and financing of its\nrail system, its ferry system, its\npower system and even some aspects\n22\nof its resource development. I see\nlittle evidence, frankly, of similar\nplanning in the educational system.\nThis makes our campus planning\nan extremely difficult, tenuous sort\nof operation.\nOntario has developed a formula\nfor capital grants which will be used\nI think, this year for the first time.\nIf we apply the same formula to\nUBC we should receive approximately $12 to $14 million per year\nfor construction of buildings to accommodate our increasing enrolment. In addition, we must soon\nreplace 600,000 square feet of temporary buildings, such as the old\narts building which has now become\na mathematics building and in addition to that, 300,000 square feet of\nhuts. It appears the capital needs\nof this campus alone will be in the\norder of $21 million a year for\nabout five years. We're realists and\nwe realize that this is a most\nunlikely degree of affluence and we\nmust seek alternatives.\nWe can and we must somehow\nreduce the cost of academic buildings. It is doubtful that we can\nachieve major reductions in the cost\nof heavily serviced buildings for\nundergraduate and research laboratories. Our costs in that case are\nsimilar to those in other parts of the\ncountry and are now costing us $30,\nand I think very soon, $40 a square\nfoot of gross area. But of this, at\nleast $15 is for the services alone,\nand the building structure cost is\nabout $20 a square foot so that the\nservice share is so high I don't think\nthere's a great deal we can do to\nreduce the cost of that type of\nbuilding.\nWe can, however, make substantial savings by the use of modular\nand partially prefabricated buildings\nfor offices, seminar rooms, many\ntypes of classrooms. They can be\nperfectly satisfactory for any educational process other than ones requiring highly serviced laboratory\nfacilities. Such space can be designed in a flexible manner to allow\nmodification for changing academic\nneeds. This lower cost space can be\nbuilt for around $16 a square foot\u00E2\u0080\u0094\na substantial saving.\nIt may well be that a fair share\nof our capital resources will have\nto be put into these lower cost buildings simply to stem the tide or at\nleast cope with it in this short period\nahead of us.\nDr. Walter Gage\nPresident, UBC\nTHE EASIEST thing in the world\nis to demand a larger share of the\nprovincial revenue but I am sure\nthese revenues are not limitless. It is\nclear that in determining its expenditures any government must be\nconcerned with its priorities. If these\npriorities do not adequately represent higher education, then I believe\nthe public is not sufficiently informed about the need for higher\neducation. Some time ago, in The\nProvince there was an article, I\nthink by Paddy Sherman, in which\nhe stated what the university would\nhave to do in future was in a sense\njustify itself; it would have to show\nthat it had a place in the economic,\nsocial and cultural development of\nthe province. It is, in my opinion,\npartly the fault of the faculty and\nadministration and the alumni and\nstudents that we have not shown\nthat we are truly a necessary part of\nany development.\nWell, this is where you come into\nthe picture. The purpose of this\nconference should be to provide-the\nnecessary information for those here\ntoday who believe that the cause\nof higher education requires greater\nsupport, so they in turn can convince their community of the urgent\nneed for a higher priority. Dr. John Macdonald\nExecutive vice-chairman\nCommittee of Presidents of\nthe Universities of Ontario\nI want to tell you something\nabout what is happening in\nanother jurisdiction in Canada for\nwhatever value it may be to you in\nmaking judgements about where\nyou will be moving in the years\nahead in this province. The present\npopulation of Ontario is about 7.4\nmillion and it's roughly now 2 million here in British Columbia so that\ngives you the order of difference in\nlooking at the two provinces. The\nenrolment in 1964 in Ontario universities was 49,000 and now in\n1969 it's about 100,000.\nThe operating grants to the universities from the provincial government in 1964 were $37 million and\nthat has been raised in a period of\nfive years to the staggering level of\n$215 million. If you add to that fees,\nyou get over one-quarter of a billion\ndollars by way of operating support\nfor the universities in Ontario this\nyear. Capital support was $64 million in 1964; by 1967 it was up to\n$100 million; it is $100 million in\n1969 and there is a commitment by\nthe province of Ontario for at least\n$100 million a year up to 1975. The\ngrowth has been very rapid, both in\nterms of enrolment, the number of\ninstitutions and also in terms of support provided by the government of\nOntario.\nIn 1964, the government of On\ntario took a step which has never\nbeen taken in any other province in\nCanada when they established a\nDepartment of University Affairs. It\nwas to parallel the Department of\nEducation but was to be responsible\nsolely and exclusively for universities.\nAlong with the department the\ngovernment established in 1964 a\nCommittee on University Affairs.\nThat Committee was established,\n\"To study matters concerning the\nestablishment, development, operation, expansion and financing of\nuniversities in Ontario and to make\nrecommendations thereon to the\nMinister of University Affairs for\nthe information and advice of\ngovernment.\" It has eleven members, four of them are chosen from\nthe money\nplanner\nA True Savings Account, paying\nan attractive interest rate, helps\nyou plan your way to the things\nyou want \u00E2\u0080\u0094 gives you a firm grip\non what you have.\nA low-cost True Chequing Account\nprovides monthly account\nstatements and free\npersonalized cheques.\nGet your money planner wallet at\ntt\nBank of Montreal\nCanada's First Bank\n23 the university community directly,\nthat is faculty members or administrators in universities. No presidents serve on it.\nIt was established ostensibly to be\nan instrument interposed between\nthe university and government\nwhich would try to make independent judgements. But in fact it has\nnot performed in that way. It has\nbecome more and more polarized\ntoward the interests of government.\nWhat I have been describing so\nfar is what the government's instrumentation is for dealing with the\nuniversities but the universities\nthemselves have had to develop\nmachinery for dealing collectively\nwith government. This started in\n1962 with a Committee of Presidents, in which they began to explore the possibility of cooperative\naction. The organization has become\nrapidly more and more complex.\nThere arc a number of affiliated\ngroups associated with the Commit\ntee of Presidents now and the organization has been recognized by the\ngovernment as the spokesman for all\nthe universities.\nBut the presidents and the staff\nhave been unhappy lately about the\nquality of analysis which has been\npossible with the organization from\nthe standpoint of its capacity to put\nforward proposals and argument to\ngovernment for the kind of support\nneeded. This has been because the\nanalytical function has been done on\na part-time basis by committees\nfrom the various universities.\nWhat's being proposed at the\nmoment, and under consideration\nby the senates of all the universities,\nis a proposal to establish a Council\nof Universities. The purpose of the\ncouncil would be to replace the\nCommittee of Presidents, to maintain a maximum of independence\nfor each university, to provide a collective voice which was both acceptable and functional in terms of the\nAndrew Soles\nPrincipal, Selkirk College\nas one who is deeply committed to\nthe college idea I can only deplore\nthe fact that so many of our new\ncolleges are having to begin their\ncareers in high schools or renovated\nbuildings. Colleges need first-rate\nlibraries and first-rate laboratories,\nbut most of all they need an identity\nof their own and the whole college\nmovement I think is being threatened by this unfortunate state of\naffairs. Our experience today would\nindicate that with few exceptions,\nlocal districts are not prepared to\nvote money for needed college facilities. Now if the colleges are going\nto be considered a vitally important\npart of the total system of higher\neducation then these facilities are\ngoing to have to be provided on a\nbroader tax base.\n24\nJohn Young\nPrincipal, Campbell River\nSecondary School\nUNIVERSITY EDUCATION is a\nright and it should be provided to all\nthose who can benefit from it and\nthere should be no financial barrier\nat all. Canada is the second or third\nmost affluent nation in the world\nand it's a damnable admission for\nwe as Canadian citizens to suggest\nthat we can't afford to educate all\nour children. I think our social\npriorities are seriously out of harmony with the needs of people.\nLast year, in the public school system in B.C. we spent about $533\nper child. That amounts to about\n2Vi bucks a day. You can't hire a\ngood babysitter for 2Vi bucks a\nday and I do not buy the idea that\nwe cannot afford a far better educational system in this province.\nkind of data and arguments which\ncould be put forward to governments and finally, of course, to\nprove an expert analytical capacity.\nThe council, at the top, would be\na body composed of the president\nof each university and a colleague\nelected by the senate of each university. That colleague could be a\nfaculty member, an administrator or\na student at the choice of the individual university. Under the\ncouncil there would be a series of\nprogram committees\u00E2\u0080\u0094one in arts\nand science, one in health sciences,\none in the other professions and\none in graduate studies.\nNow what are the kinds of issues\nwhich the structure would deal with?\nFirst of all operating grants. Each\nyear the universities must argue for\nthe value of the basic income unit in\nthe financing formula and that argument must be put forward on the\nbasis of the collective experience of\n14 universities. The same thing\napplies to capital. There's also the\nproblem of coordinated program\ndevelopment in order to avoid unnecessary duplication.\nNow this may sound to you like a\nUniversity of Ontario, but I would\nlike to emphasize that in fact it is\nnot anything like a University of\nOntario in the sense of any jurisdiction of which I have knowledge.\nWhat we're talking about is a\nfederated system where the universities voluntarily agree to operate\ncooperatively, where they must exercise self-control and where the\nrestraints which they place on\nthemselves are the governing factors.\nThis is an idea which has profound significance for the future of\nhigher education in Ontario. Some\npeople think and I believe, naively,\nthat if it doesn't work we would get\nthe University of Ontario. I do not\nbelieve the alternative would be the\nUniversity of Ontario, but rather,\nan insidious and gradual takeover of\nthe universities by government instruments which already exist. I am\nconvinced that there is only one key\nto preserving the independence of\nthe universities and that is a superb\nsystem of data collection and analysis with an acceptable collective\nvoice.\nWhat we are doing is unique and\nif we are successful, we will not only\nserve our own province well, but we\nwill offer a new and better model\nfor others to emulate. Dr. Cyril Belshaw\nProfessor and Chairman\nDepartment of\nAnthropology and\nSociology, UBC\nthere is the possibility of changing the nature of UBC so that in\neffect it becomes, not one university,\nbut several and yet retains the sense\nof cosmopolitan and metropolitan\natmosphere that really is important.\nWe have the chance of creating\nout of our present, existing elements\nat UBC, three nucleii for three new\nuniversities but in close proximity,\nreinforcing and stimulating one\nanother.\nWe're suggesting that the university should consist essentially of a\nconfederation of relatively small-\nscale colleges, perhaps with an average size of 1,500 to 2,500 students\neach with its own independent educational goal. There would then be\npotentiality for variety, for experiment:, for change. This potentiality\nfor variety or experiment I feel is\nmost important for the future of\nUBC.\nDean Goard\nPrincipal, B.C. Institute\nof Technology\ni think it is a good thing that\nwe increase the variety of offerings to young people and mature\nadults in the field of tertiary education because people have many\nneeds and abilities. In the past 20\nyears there have been about 18,000\nto 20,000 people involved in higher\neducation outside the traditional\nacademic stream and this has gone\non, I think, totally unnoticed. I\nthink that we must accept the proposition that higher education is no\nlonger restricted to universities;\nhigher education represents a great\nrange of very academic and very\nrigorous and very useful programs\ncovering a wide spectrum of services A great number of people\nwho would otherwise be going to\nuniversity are accepting this alternative path and I think that's a good\nthing. \u00E2\u0096\u00A1\nOn top of them all\nFine quality products from\nFRASER VALLEY MILK PRODUCERS ASSOCIATION\nTalk to\nRoyal Trust\nabout\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2\nEstate Planning\nInvestment Management\nRetirement Savings Plans\nGuaranteed Investment Receipts\nABC'No-Load'Funds\nSavings Accounts\nRoyal Trust\nOffices in all major cities across Canada\n25 Alumni News\nStamps Sign\nOf Success\nEVERY DAY BRINGS PLEASANT new\nsurprises for Ian Malcolm and his\nband of co-workers in the Alumni\nFund office.
