DONALD SOULE\nAssistant\nArts Dean\nAppointed\nProf. Donald E. Soule, of UBC's Department\nof Theater, has been appointed assistant dean\nof the Faculty of Arts.\nProf. Soule will succeed Dr. Harold C.\nKnutson, who has been assistant dean of the\nFaculty since July 1, 1969. Dr. Knutson is\nreturning to full-time teaching duties in the\nDepartment of French at his own request.\nProf. Soule will assist Dean of Arts Douglas\nKenny in the academic operations of the\nFaculty. A second assistant dean. Prof. Robert\nWill of the Department of Economics, will\ncontinue to be responsible for the day-to-day\nfinancial operations of the Arts Faculty.\nThe appointment of Dr. Soule was approved\nby UBC's Board of Governors at its regular\nmeeting on Oct. 6.\nThe Board was also informed that Prof. J.A.\nKeats, who was to have become head of the\nDepartment of Psychology in the Faculty of\nArts on Jan. 1, 1971, has asked that his\nappointment be cancelled for personal reasons.\nThree other well-known members of the\nUBC faculty have informed the Board that they\nare resigning their administrative duties as of\nJune 30, 1971. All will continue to hold their\npositions as professors in their respective\nfaculties.\nResigning as department heads are:\n\u00E2\u0080\u0094 Prof. G. Welton Marquis, first head of the\nUBC Department of Music and a faculty\nContinued on Page Four\nSee BOARD\nThe Campus Mood-1970\nWhat is the mood of the UBC campus in\nOctober, 1970?\nUBC Reports attempted to find the\nanswer to this question by dispatching\nreporters around the campus to interview\nstudents at random*\nThey found that the campus mood was\nbasically calm and c#tentef the campus. What goes on just doesn't have much\ntoao with what 1 want to get out of life \u00E2\u0080\u0094 a job in the\n-forest industry.\"\nMale, fifth year Education: \"I t'l I be a good year. I 've\ngot a lot of good courses this year. I'm looking forward\nto getting out in the schools and doing a little practical\nstuff instead of all the theory. Things haven't changed\nmuch in the last five years or so. Food services stink,\ntheir prices are phenomenal, food's terrible, and they're\ntrying to crowd everybody into SUB, which; I think is a\nbig mistake. Rather than trying to centralize things in\nSUB, I think it would be a better idea to disseminate\nJhings a little mOre. Another good thing would be a pub.\nI really think there should be one out here.\"\nMORE STUDY SPACE\nFemale, first year Arts: \"The thing 1 was really\nwondering about was the controversy over the hostel-.\"\nTold it was defeated, her reaction was: \"Oh, really good,\nbecause I don't think a learning institution is a place\nwhere kids can crash out. Last year I went to a\nuniversity in France and the kids there were a lot more\nagitated, a lot more ready to go out and fight for a cause\n- it doesn't matter what cause. I think this University is\nmore of a thinking university. I don't think people are so\nexcitable, so up in arms.\n\"I think there should be more study spaces. I didn't\nknow that the carrels in the Library were reserved for\ngraduate or third year students. I ran into a little Wtof\n^rouble with that this morning. Brock Halt has lots; of :\nstudy room but its just too big and there ts too much\nnoise.\"\nFemale, first year Arts: \"t was really disappointed at\nthe meeting today. I was surprised at how many people\nwere willing to turn down a motion to house a number\nof people I felt really needed a place to stay. I was also\ndisappointed at what I heard about the English\nDepartment last year. Apparently they fired a couple of\nreally good English teachers last year simply because\nKhey hadn't published anything, which to me isn't very\nimportant at all. I find this campus quite conservative in\nits outlook. I've heard a lot of people say that this place\nhas a very middle class background. I thought that a\ncampus would be a very liberal place that would be open\nto a lot of opinions. But it seemed that a majority of the\nkids come from a middle cjass background and they\nvoted that Way. They defeated the idea\" (of using the\nSUB as a hostel).\nThe summary of the results of the survey was written\nby Assistant Information Officer Doris Hopper.\nReporters who gathered student comments were Miss\nHopper and Assistant Information Officer Peter\nThompson, Michael Tindall, producer of the campus\ntelevision series, \"UBC Now,\" and students Rob Walsh\nand Audrey Down.\nTop Astronomer to Give\nTwo Lectures at UBC\nProf. Fred Hoyle, one of the world's\noutstanding astronomers and a central figure in the\ncontinuing debate on the origin of the universe,\nwill give two Dal Grauer Memorial Lectures at the\nUniversity of B.C. on Oct. 1\"3 and 14.\nProf. Hoyle will speak as follows:\n\u00E2\u0080\u0094 At 8:15 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 13, in the\nTotem Park Residences at UBC. His topic will be\n\"Stonehenge,\" the prehistoric monument on\nSalisbury Plain in England. In recent years, much\nresearch has been done on Stonehenge, and there\nis evidence that it was an accurate astronomical\nobservatory and a computer for the prediction of\neclipses.\n- At 12:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 14, in the\nFrederic Wood Theater, when his topic will be\n\"The Present State of Cosmology,\" the branch of\nastronomy which deals with the origin of the\nuniverse.\nAdmission to both lectures is free.\nProf. Hoyle, who is also widely known as a\nwriter of provocative science-fiction novels, is\nPROF. FRED HOYLE\nPlumian Professor of Astronomy and director of\nthe recently-established Institute of Theoretical\nAstronomy at Cambridge University in England.\nHe has been the recipient of almost every\ninternational award for his wide-ranging research\nin astronomy, including the gold medal of the\nRoyal Astronomical Society of Great Britian and\nthe Bruce Medal of the Astronomical Society of\nthe Pacific.\nProf. Hoyle is probably best known to the\ngeneral public for his research in support of the\n\"steady-state universe,\" a theory which holds that\nthe universe is infinite with no beginning and no\nend.\nThe steady-state theory postulates a universe\nresembling a bathtub overflowing with a faucet\ngushing forth more water. Put in astronomical\nterms, this means that new galaxies, or star\nsystems analogous to the Milky Way, are formed as\nold ones disappear.\nCentral to this theory is the concept that new\nmatter is constantly being created out of nothing\nby some process not clearly understood. Many\nscientists have rejected the theory because it\nviolates one of the basic laws of physics \u00E2\u0080\u0094 the\nconservation of matter.\nThe other widely-discussed model of the origin\nof the universe is known as the \"big-bang\" theory,\nwhich holds that some 20,000 to 60,000 million\nyears ago all the material of the universe came into\nexistence at the same time and in the same region\nof space.\nThis \"primeval atom,\" the theory holds,\nexploded, sending its material outward in all\ndirections. Eventually, the debris from the\nexplosion condensed into stars and galaxies in\nmuch the same way that raindrops condense from\nclouds.\nFLAW IN THEORY\nObservational astronomy has tended to support\nthe big-bang theory since it appears that galaxies\nwhich can be detected with telescopes are receding\ninto deep space.\nThe flaw in the theory is that if the universe\noriginated in a single explosion, all the known\nchemical elements would have been created at the\ntime. But physicists say that elements beyond\nhelium could not have been formed in this way.\nA third theory, known as the \"pulsating\nuniverse,\" holds that the universe is expanding and\ncontracting in some unknown rythmic pattern.\nEarlier this year a \"mixmaster universe\" was\nproposed at a scientific meeting in England where\nProf. Hoyle was a major speaker.\nProf. Hoyle has been a central figure in the\ndiscussions of these theories. In addition, he is\nrenowned in the astronomical world for his\nresearch on such topics as the evolution of stars,\nthe origin of magnetic fields in galaxies and studies\nof radio galaxies and quasars, mysterious objects\nwhich emit energy a hundred times more intense\nthan ordinary galaxies.\nProf. Hoyle is also widely-known as a writer of\nscience fiction. His best-known novels are The\nBlack Cloud, Ossian's Ride, The Fifth Planet and\nOctober First Is Too Late.\nHe lectured on ecology and population control\n15 years before the subject became popular and, as\na result of his frequent visits to the United States,\nbecame an avid baseball fan.\nDr. Hare Chairs Committee\nProf. F. Kenneth Hare, former president of UBC,\nhas undertaken an important new assignment at the\nUniversity of Toronto, where he now teaches\nmeteorology in the Department of Geography.\nAt the request of the University of Toronto's\nPresident, Dr. Claude Bissell, Prof. Hare will chair a\nPresidential Advisory Committee on the Status and\nFuture of Scarborough College.\nScarborough is a constituent college of the\nUniversity of Toronto and offers a distinctive\ncurriculum within the framework of a new program\nof the Faculty of Arts and Science. The College this\nyear expects to enrol 1,900 students.\nThe 32-member committee which Dr. Hare will'\nchair consists of academic and administrative officers,\nteaching staff and students drawn from Scarborough\nCollege and the St. George campus of the University\nof Toronto.\nProf. Hare was president of UBC from May 31,\n1968, to Jan. 31, 1969. Before coming to UBC he\nwas Master of Birkbeck College of the University of\nLondon in England and for 19 years prior to that was\na member of the faculty at McGill University, where\nhe also served as dean of arts for three years.\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0 \u00E2\u0096\u00A0\u00E2\u0096\u00A0%#% Volume 16, No. 18 - Oct. 1,\n11 \u00E2\u0096\u00A0\u00E2\u0096\u00A0I 197\u00C2\u00B0- Published by the\nBBBJ MM University of British Columbia\n^^mm^ ^** and distributed free.

Dr.\nRonald J. Silvers of the Department of\nAnthropology and Sociology, has already been\nengaged in a research project aimed at evaluating\nthe underground press and its significance.\nDr. Silvers has been using his own personal\ncollection of underground papers for his research\nproject, but pointed out the frustrations of trying\nto acquire a complete collection of the papers,\nmany of which spring to life and die again within\nthe space of a few issues.\nDr. Silvers praised the UBC Library's decision\nto acquire the microfilmed collection of\nunderground papers.\n\"These newspapers present a whole body of\nsocial and political thought that is not available\nelsewhere,\" he said. \"If a record of these papers\nand the pojnts of view they express are not\npreserved, much of the flavor of the current social\nturmoil that we are experiencing will be lost to\nhistory.\"\nMrs. Suzanne Dodson of the Government\nPublications Division (which ironically enough is\nthe section of the UBC Library in which the\nmicrofilmed collection is on file) said that the\nmaterial is contained in 26 reels and is being\nindexed by title.\nThe existing index to the microfilmed material\nlists each paper according to the year in which it\nwas published, which makes it possible to\ndetermine when a particular paper came into being\nand how long \u00C2\u00BBt lasted.\nAlso on order to help those who wish to\nresearch the papers is the \"Alternative Press\nIndex\" which indexes 19 of the 200-odd\nnewspapers on microfilm.\nAgain overtones of irony intrude. The\nalternative press index, which is published by the\n\"Radical Research Center\" and is describe\u00C2\u00A9! as''ah\nindex to the publications which amplify the cry\nfor social change and social justice\" was prepared\nby computer.. .surely the very epitome of the\ndehumanizing technological age which so many of\nthe underground papers decry.\nIt takes the help of a machine to view the\nmicrofilmed material too. The microfilmed\nunderground papers can be seen on the two\nviewing machines available in the Government\nPublications Division of the Main Library. The\nDivision also has several small portable viewing\nmachines which it can make available to anyone\nwith a serious research interest in underground\npapers.\nThe microfilmed material, however, is not the\nonly collection of underground papers maintained\nin the UBC Library. The Special Collections\nDivision of the Library also has quite an extensive\ncollection of underground papers in actual print\nform.\nMrs. Anne Yandle of Special Collections\nexplained that the department has been assembling\na collection of underground newspapers with\nspecial emphasis on local publications since the\nunderground press phenomena began in the mid-\n1960's.\nCOMPLETE SET\nSpecial Collections has, for example, a\ncomplete set of every issue of the Georgia Straight\never published and representative issues of\napproximately 100 other underground newspapers\nin its collection.\n\"I don't think these papers will be very\navailable 20 years from now,\" said Mrs. Yandle.\n\"Too many people say they are just junk and\nthrow them out.\"\nUntil recently the underground papers in the\nSpecial Collections Division were difficult to use\nfor research purposes because they had not been\nindexed. Over the summer, however. Miss Ruell\nSmith of the Library's staff has made a start\ntoward indexing the papers under broad subject\nheadings.\nTwo UBC Faculty Members Die\nTwo members of the UBC faculty \u00E2\u0080\u0094 Prof. Kenneth\nB. Harvey of the Department of Chemistry and Dr.\nJohn N. Sandness of the Faculty of Agricultural\nSciences \u00E2\u0080\u0094 died in late September.\nProf. Harvey, who was also assistant dean of the\nFaculty of Science, died suddenly on Sept. 27 at the\nage of 42.\nDr. Sandness, an entomologist and pesticides\nexpert, died Sept. 25 after a lengthy illness at the age\nof 30.\nBorn in Toronto, Prof. Harvey joined the UBC\nfaculty in 1959 and was co-author, with Prof. Gerald\nB. Porter, also of UBC's Chemistry Department, of a\nwidely-used textbook on physical inorganic\nchemistry. He was also a prolific contributor to\nchemistry research journals.\nProf. Harvey was named assistant dean of science\nin January, 1969, and was in charge of time-tabling,\nregistration and counselling of the students in the\nFaculty.\nHe was a graduate of the University of Toronto,\nwhere he received his bachelor of arts degree with\nhonors in 1951, and Laval University in Quebec,\n4/UBC Reports/Oct. 8,1970\nwhere he was awarded the degree of doctor of science\nin 1956.\nDr. Sandness, who joined the UBC faculty in\n1969, was born in Grand Forks, B.C., and obtained\nhis bachelor of arts degree at Walla Walla College,\nWashington, and his Ph.D. at the Riverside campus of\nthe University of California.\nBOARD\nContinued from Page One\nmember since 1958 and,\n\u00E2\u0080\u0094 Prof. James Foulks, the first head of the\nDepartment of Pharmacology in the Faculty of\nMedicine. Dr. Foulks, who has been at UBC since\n1951, plans a year's leave of absence beginning in\nJuly, 1971, to carry out research at the Institute of\nBasic Medical Sciences of the Royal College of\nSurgeons in London, England.\nA third faculty member.
