' Opportunity to learn came last September\n, . while I was vacationing in Tahiti. During\nthe first lesson you learn to skin dive\n(no tanks.) The next three lessons, under\nclose supervision, consist of diving while\nusing a tank. I remember the wonderful\nfeeling to be able to sit on the bottom,\nabout fifteen feet, and watch the many-\ncoloured fish carrying on their normal\nlives. My first deep dive was to 130 feet,\nand it was so clear I could see the boat\nat the surface. At this depth the fish\nwere still very colourful but a little\nlarger in size and were in larger schools.\nWhen I came back to Vancouver I took a\ncourse in scuba diving to prepare me for\nthese waters. Around Vancouver the water\nis not so clear except during the winter\nand at the deeper depths but then it is\ndark, so a light is needed to distinguish\ncolours. The sealife here is plentiful\nbut you have to look harder to see it.\nThe fish are mostly the colours of the\nsurroundings and they try to stay fairly\nwell hidden under kelp, in caves, under\nsand and in the crevices of rocks.\nI have been able to get a few meals from\nthe sea - fresh crabs, prawns, cod and\noysters. The things that are the most\nfun to catch are the crabs. They give you a run. Sometimes a lot\nof them will run at the same time and it looks just like a herd of\nbuffalo running across the plains. The plant life varies according to the depth. First, seaweed, then cloud sponges, then nothing -\nat least at 225 feet - I haven't been deeper.\nLately, I have been trying my hand at underwater photography, with\nminor success. It is difficult to steady oneself long enough to snap\na picture without disturbing the subject. I am planning to take my\nunderwater camera with me when I go back to Tahiti in July and I hope\nI'll have sane good pictures to bring back.\nIf you have the desire to do this, and a curiosity about the world\nunderwater, you should try your hand at scuba diving - it is exciting\nand adventuresome at all times and the only restriction to participation is that you must be over fifteen years of age.\nLynda Putnam Origins of the Ombudsman\nThe word \"Ombudsman\" had its origin in a primitive\nlegal order. In the decentralized governments of the\nGermanic tribes, two punishments could be inflicted upon\nlawbreakers. First, when the folkmeet gathered to apply\nthe customary law as recited by the lawmen, it could\nconvict the culprit and declare him to be an outlaw.\nThe individual so branded was fair game. Anyone who\nkilled him was merely enforcing the judgment of the\nfolkmeet. While it seems rather savage, the institution of outlawry represented progress because it provided a substitute for family feuds.\nThe second option for punishment represented further progress: as an alternative to outlawry, it provided for a fine to be paid by the family of the culprit to the family of the aggrieved person. In England,\nthis fine was called the Wergild. A modicum of administrative delegation was necessary to insure that the\nWergild helped prevent violence. Thus, for a member of\nthe aggrieved family to collect the Wergild directly\nmight have' resulted in violence; for a member of the\nculprit's family to go to the aggrieved family might\nalso have encouraged vendettas.\nConsequently, a neutral person was appointed to\ncollect the fine and carry it to its destination; he\nwas the OM-BUDS-MAN--\"Om\" being \"About;\" \"Bud\" being\nthe messenger collecting the \"fine.\" Imagine a Viking\nwith horned helmet marching up to the door of a medieval Nordic hut. The man of the house answers the call,\nand then shouts back to his family: \"It's the man about\nthe fine: the Ombudsman.\"\nSeveral hundred years later the word \"Ombudsman\"\nhad come to include any kind of agent. In the Basic\nLaw of 1809\u00E2\u0080\u0094only our own Constitution is older and\nstill in use\u00E2\u0080\u0094the Swedes provided for a Riksdagens Jus-\ntitieombudsman, \"Parliament's Agent of Justice.\" The post was a counterweight in the balance of power whereby\nKing and Parliament both controlled administration, that\nis to say primarily the judges and police. Finland followed suit when it gained independence in 1919-\nThe modern embodiment of the Ombudsman is reflected\nmore accurately in the Danish version as provided in the\n1953 Constitution. The Ombudsman as we now know hin\nis a constitutional officer appointed by Parliament to\nreceive, investigate, and report on citizens' complaints\nof bureaucratic abuse.\nThe Swedish and Finnish offices have come to serve\nthe same function, as have the newer offices in Norway\n(1962) and those already mentioned in the Commonwealth\ncountries.6 The same theme characterizes current proposal s.\nThe Ombudsman's Function and Setting\nThe essential characteristics of the Ombudsman\npost require that the individual filling it be: (1)\nindependent, (2) impartial, (3) expert in government,\n{k) universally accessible, and (5) empowered only to\nrecommend and to publicize.\nIn judging maladministration, the Ombudsman gives\nvoice to collective conscience, just as the medieval\nFolkmeets expressed their own Volksgeist, the spirit\nof the people.\nThe contributions of the Ombudsman are to (1)\nresolve grievances, (2) improve administration, and (3)\naid legislative oversight of administration.\nThe modern office of Ombudsman presupposes: (1)\na nation-state: territory and population, (2) a bureaucracy, and (3) a consensus of positive morality.7 OPEN LETTER TO LIBRARY STAFF:\nYou are all in receipt of a letter stating the advantages of\norganizing a union in the Library. Let us consider some of the\ndisadvantages.\nThe Library Administration has done well by us in increasing\nsalaries over the past few years. They are limited to the amount\nof money available by Provincial grant. There is no way by which\nU.B.C. can increase that grant so how can a union get us better\nsalaries? By cutting down on staff?\nIf the Library Administration cannot get better working conditions,\ne.g., more space, etc. for all of us in spite of their constant\neffort, how can a union do it?\nWe can only be fired for a justifiable reason now! Most of us\nhave heard of cases where an inefficient union member has been\nkept on in a job only because of the power of the union. Some are\npromoted to their \"level of incapacity\" and there they remain.\nI s that fai r?\nIt would be nice to have 3 weeks holiday before working 5 years.\nBut, what about those who have already worked 5 years. How will\nthey benefit?\nThe union would be more strict about hours. Except for those doing\nnight duty we would likely work from 9-5 with one coffee break and\nno chance to come in early to \"beat the heat\".\nA union grievance committee would be hard put to it to have as\ngood an understanding of our grievances as our own Ombudsman Committee. As for it being controlled by management - nonsense! We\nchose the members. They may not be able to do all that we would\nlike them to do but it is better to try to obtain justice through\ndiscussion and persuasion than by means of force and threats.\nAt a time when the country needs to keep costs down we don't want\nto join the ranks of those striking for higher pay; It would,\nof course, be nice to have a starting salary of $6,500 per year as\na bus driver does, but then a bus driver has a much greater\nresponsibility than we do.\nCONCERNED ST. WIBBY REPORTS...\nIT LOOKS like an exodus for\noverseas through the summer\nmonths. You are 1iable to\nbump into HANS BURNDORFER of\nthe Music Library and wife\nSheila in Austria, JUDY CARDIN\nof Circ. either in England or\nAustria, CAROL BREGAINT of Gov.\nPubs, in France or Holland and\nMELVA DWYER in England.

Initiator of\nthe spring exodus, ELEANOR\nMERCER of Bibliography has just\nreturned from a month in London.\nSuch a stampede yet!\nAnd last but WOW! Barbara\nGibson of Cataloguing off to\nGreece.\nINCIDENTALLY we understand\nBarbara has just passed her\nScuba Diving test with a 90%\nmark and is off to Greece for\na 3 week underwater, archeolo-\ngical exploration. She will be\ndiving from a small yacht just\nlarge enough to hold 16 persons\nof the expedition. Colour us\ngreen.\nAN APRIL SHOWER for JEANETTE\nWALL of Woodward (we missed it\nlast time). Jeannette is off to\nEngland accompanying her husband\nwho will be continuing his Art\nStudies with the help of a\nCanada Counci1\nGrant.\nDISPLAY at Woodward L i b ra ry\nth is month\nincludes Art in\nPsychiatry and\ncontains interesting samples\nof art done in\nthe new Psychiatric Hospital.\nWE expect some\ninteresting\ntales from\nDinie Hunt of\nScience when\nshe returns\nfrom a camping\ntrip along the Oregon Coast and\nCalifornia.\nAS WELL AS attending the Annual\nConference of the Canadian Association of Law Librarians in\nLondon, Ont., Tom Shorthouse of\nLaw went on an idea gathering\ntour of many other such institutions in Easter Canada and the\nStates. Now we only need the\nnew building to incorporate the\nideas in 197?\t\nTHE LIBRARY STAFF this month bade\na fond farewell to DOREEN LILLEY\nof Social Science. Doreen was\npresented with a volume entitled\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2Li 1 ley-White and the Seven\nYears 1963-1970'. This volume\ndepicted a seven year \"toil\" in\nthe Library and was edited by\nBev Richards. The cartoons were 10\ndone by Diana Kraetschmer of Fine\nArts, and MERIKE PATRASON of I. &\nO.S. supplied the illustrations\nand photos. Messages of goodwill\nand signatures from Doreen's many\nfriends and co-workers filled the\npages. Truly a work of art.\nFRIENDS OF HELEN DEREWENKO will be\nhappy to know that she will be\ncoming home on holiday from the\nSoviet Union at the end of July.\nNo doubt with many more interesting\nviews of life in that country to\nimpart. (see letters BIBLOS Nov.\n1968, Feb/March I969).\nWE ARE SORRY to hear that Dorothy\nShields of Bibliog. is undergoing surgery in the St. Vincent\nHospital. Hope to see you again\nsoon hale and hearty and ready for\nthat trip to Spain, Dorothy.\nIT'S NICE to see HELEN CONSTABLE\nback with us if only on a part\ntime basis in Woodward. Helen was\na past editor of Biblos.\nTHAT RECEPTION - pre-official\nopening - held Friday June 6th\nat the Woodward Library to 'toast'\nthe new edition, was a great\nsuccess. Long live the caterer.\nIt was most enjoyable to see so many\nmembers of the Main and Branch\nLibraries assembled together. I\npersonally met many new people who\nup to then were just names on the\nStaff List. Such functions tend\nto humanize the institution.\nPossibly with the ? opening of\nSedge, next year and maybe Law the\nyear after such get togethers\ncould become an annual event.\nA big hand to Anna Leith and\nher staff for the whole affair\nand we hope it will lead to\nfuture such social occasions.\nLIBRARY ASSISTANTS ASSOCIATION\nTupperware party was a great\nsuccess k0+ brave souls turned\nout in spite of the heat and\nenjoyed a very interesting\nevening. It is rumoured the\nnext L.A.A. event will be a\ntour of the new C.P.A. Headquarters at the Airport where\npersonnel from all over the\nworld receive their training.\nIt is the international headquarters for CPA and should\nprove to be an interesting excursion. Watch for the notices.\nThanks are due to the Social\nCommittee, Rosemary McAndless,\nJanet Lenko, Rosemary Zwinge,\nall of Sedge, and Mary Paterson\nof Serials.\nOUR SPIES report that Barb Ross\nof the Circ. Div., has a fascinating booth in the Red Lantern\nHouse, Gastown. Barb specializes in beautiful 'tie dye1 items.\nGo see!\nINTER-LIBRARY LOAN, Infor. and\nOrientation and the Reading\nRooms offices all seem to be\nvery happily moved to their\nnew homes in what was the old\nSouth wing study area of the\nMain Concourse. If you haven't\nbeen able to find them lately 11\nthat's where they are at.\nNO BIRTHS or weddings to report\nthis month. Wow! Or did we\nmiss someone.\nAnyway that's all for this time\nand I'm joining the exodus to\nvisit my old friends George\nand Sebastian. Am looking\nforward to blowing the froth\noff a warm English beer and\ndowning a few cool Sangria's.\nTa Ta for now.\nHARD LUCK STORY\nDear Library:\nApril 13, 1970\nWill you please tell your *#@%?*! computer that\nmy address is not:\n656O N.W. Marine, Vane.\nNor is it:\n5*4-03 Westminster Ave., Ladner.\nIt is:\n#201-2232 West 5th Ave., Vane.\nBut it's not that for long. It'll soon be:\n3005 Beach Drive,\nVictoria, B.C.\nHow come the computer didn't believe me when I wrote\nhim my new address last fall - I didn't even make it to Bird\nCalls. Probably after writing my exams I'll find I'm not\neven registered!\nHappy summer.\nLove,\n6-9323683\n(alias, Sue Weston\n3rd H.Ec.) 12\nTHOUGHT FOR THE DAY?\nSome time when you're feeling important,\nSome time when your ego's in bloom,\nSome time when you take it for granted\nYou're the best qualified in the room -\nSome time when you feel that your going\nWould leave an unfiliable hole,\nJust follow this simple instruction,\nAnd see how it humbles your soul:\nTake a bucket and fill it with water,\nPut your hand in it, up to your wrists;\nPull it out, and the hole that's remaining\nIs the measure of how you'll be missed.\nYou may splash all you please when you enter\nYou can stir up the water galore\nBut stop and you tind in a minute\nThat it looks quite the same as before.\nThe moral in this quaint example\nIs: Do just the best that you can;\nBe proud of yourself, but remember\nThere's no indispensible man!\n(Or woman) 13 14\nThings to come - a report from Mc Elrod.\nAt a conference called by the National Librarian May 19th\nand 20th and attended by librarian and system types, the\nfollowing resolution was adopted:\nWhereas the discussions growing out of the papers presented\nin this meeting have indicated a need for follow-up and\nconsistent study and action to achieve some of the desired\nobjectives, therefore be it resolved:\nI - that we approve the Research and Planning Branch\nof the National Library functioning as a permanent secretariat coordinating the efforts of task\nforces.\nII - that the Research and Planning Branch in Consultation with Canadian libraries and library\norganizations establish priorities and initiate\ntask forces to investigate such topics as:\n1) The expected uses of a machine readable national\nunion catalogue or national bibliographic data\nbank including methods of cooperative contributions to such a bank and possible charges for\nuse.\n2) The relevance of BNB MARC and classed searching\nto the Canadian bilingual situation and the\nuse of LC classification.\n3) The exact content of a Canadian MARC format.\nk) Standard class tables for Canadian history and\nliterature with updating at the National Library. 15\n5) Adoption of the provisional Laval subject list\nas the official list in French for use in\nCanada with updating at the National Library.\nThree additional task force areas were added to the original\nfive:\n6) Adoption and updating of the List of Canadian\nSubject Heading at the National Library.\n7) Creation of an LC index.\n8) Approaching Canadian publishers concerning\npossibilities of cataloguing-in publication\n(nee cataloguing-in-source).\nImmediate results of these resolutions on UBC\ncataloguing practice.\nIn line with the likelihood of classed searching\nor a national machine readable catalogue, Cataloguing will transcribe on our unit cards any other\nclass numbers present, e.g., PS where we use PR,\nR where we use W, DDC where present. SBN and LC\ncard order number will also be given.\nIf in classifying cataloguers have established\nmore than one possible number for an item they\nwill note the unused number(s) below the tracing\nand it will be preserved on the unit card for\npossible future use as a classed descriptor. 16\nView from within No. 5\nIt has been suggested that the following should be\ndirected to Floor 7> but in the true spirit of\nimpartial journalism, BIBLOS addresses itself\nTO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN\n\"Mr ?? today I leave and I want you to\nknow, that I have saved every single memo\nyou ever sent me\" 17\n'I AM CURIOUS (VIOLET. ROSE. BUTTERCUP. ETC.)\" or\n\"WALK ON THE WILD SIDE\"\nThe following is a completely uninhibited,\nunexpurgated and uncensored expose of some\nguides to wildflower appreciation - so\nthose of you who had expected\notherwise can stop reading\nright now. For the rest who\nare gamely carrying on, in\nspite of having been ruthlessly tricked into starting,\nI propose to list some of the\nguides to our native wildflowers\nwhich I have found particularly\nhelpful, in the hope that you will\ntoo.\nAs some may know I paint wild-\nflowers in my spare time and I\nhope eventually to publish my\nown guide to them. In my work I\nrely very much upon the work of\nothers in this field for purposes\nof identification and background\ninformation. I always paint from\nlive specimens but I must be sure,\nfor example, that what I have is a typical manifestation of the\nplant. I must also try to find out how different environmental\nconditions might affect the appearance of a plant so that I can\nselect the form which would be most commonly seen. In my own library\nI have over 80 books and pamphlets on wildflowers - most of them\ndealing with the western coast of North America but some from eastern\nCanada and the U.S. and several from other parts of the world. I\nhave my own copies of all the books which follow but I have included\nthe U.B.C. call number as well so that you can check them out for\nyourself if you wish.\nThe first thing you learn when you begin to try to identify wildflowers is that no one book will suffice and I have had to do a lot\n\"B wneh -berry 18\nof searching in order to find some quite common plants. However, as\nyou become more familiar with the flowers you will begin to recognize\nthe family to which a plant belongs even though you may not have\nseen this particular member of it before. I derived a great deal of\nsatisfaction from being able to identify most of the flowers I saw\nlast year in Austria, at least as far as the families to which they\nbelonged, just because of their similarities to their North American\ncousins.\nThe following books are only a very few of the guides which are\navailable but they are amongst the ones which I like best:\nQK 203 Lyons, C.P.\nB7 L9 Trees, shrubs and flowers to know in British Columbia.\n1966 (2d rev. ed.) Toronto, Dent (1964, i.e. 1966) $3.95.\nThis is a good all-round guide and the new edition is quite comprehensive. Although it has only black and white illustrations the\nflowers are arranged in sections by colour, which helps a lot. There\nis a chart giving blooming periods and a section on trees and shrubs.\nProbably the best for the beginner. (You can use it as a colouring\nbook if you want, colouring in the flowers as you find them).\nQK 144 Hardy, George A. Winifred V. Hardy.\nH3 Wild flowers in the Pacific Northwest. Saskatoon,\n1964 H.R. Larson (1964) $9.50.\nQK 139 \u00E2\u0080\u0094.\nH25 Wild flowers in the Rockies. Saskatoon,\nH.R. Larson (1949) $9.50.\nThese books have coloured illustrations and the flowers are arranged\nin sections by colour. I think most of the illustrations are quite\ngood but the beginner may not immediately recognize some of the\nflowers from the paintings. The illustrations do, however, give an\nindication of the type of habitat where each plant may be found and\nsome of them are very well done. The books have both Latin and\ncommon-name indexes. Wild Flowers in the Pacific Northwest lists the\nplants included in Wild Flowers in the Rockies so you can use the\nformer as a guide to both. 19\nQK 143 Haskin, Leslie L.\nH3 Wild flowers of the Pacific Coast. (2d ed.)\n1967 Portland, Binfords and Mort (1967) $5.95.\nThis book published in Oregon, is primarily concerned with plants\nfrom Oregon but the majority of them are also found in B.C. Illustrated\nwith photographs, a number of them in colour, it combines intriguing\nbits of information about Oregon's early history with good plant\ndescriptions which, while accurate botanically, anyone can understand.\nLemmon, Robert S. and Charles C. Johnson.\nWild flowers of North America in full\ncolor. N.Y., Hanover House (1961) $11.50.\nsome of the loveliest photographs of\nrs which I have ever seen. For detail\nr they are unsurpassed. It is also the\nriating and frustrating book of its kind\nence thanks to a really unbelievable index\nsts only common names, if you can imagine!\nnames follow the common names but this is\nSince common names vary from area to area\nthey have made it a million times worse by\ng these names with words like \"little\",\n\", etc. you can't even find anything as\ns a dandelion because it's called pre-\nhat - \"common dandelion\" - and listed\n'C. The plants are arranged by habitat -\n, mountain, etc. - and this sometimes\nbut plants are often adaptable and can\nin both places so one's often fooled. I've\nat this book so often now that I know\nan illustration of a particular plant will\nere and I just grit my teeth and start\ning. I must admit that when you finally\numble upon what you're looking for the\notograph will really be worth the effort.\nWhen I retire the first thing I intend\nto do is to index this book properly!\nP&iryillfptr orehloL 20\nQK 139 Craighead, John J. et al.\nC 9 A field guide to Rocky Mountain wildflowers from\nI963 Northern Arizona and New Mexico to British Columbia.\nBoston, Houghton Mifflin, I963. $4.95.\nIf you want to correlate the incubating of magpies with the blooming\nof clematis this is the book for you. It has all kinds of useful\nfacts like this, as well as quite detailed descriptions of the plants.\nIt's a useful one-up-manship book because it enables you to exclaim,\n\"Look - the bull thistle is in bloom! Is that a half-grown Uinta\nsquirrel I see scampering around the meadow?\", thus astounding, confounding, and nauseating your friends. It is illustrated with line\ndrawings and coloured photographs and you'll find it especially helpful in the mountains and as you move eastward through the province.\nOn order Alberta.
