" Volume 29, Number 3\nFebruary 2, 1983\nJAPANESE\nAdmission changes\nmean wider choice\nIt's been a busy couple of weeks for \u00E2\u0080\u00A2\nUBC president Douglas Kenny in the\ngiving and receiving department. Last\nweek he stood ready to ring a Japanese\ntemple bell presented to the Asian\nCentre and unveiled by Japanese\nambassador to Canada Kiyohisa\nMikanagi, whose father-in-law,\nMasahiko Katori, cast it. In his role as\na giver, below, the president recently\npresented to Vancouver mayor Mike\nHarcourt a plaque in the form of the\ncoat of arms of the German city of\nSiegen, which recently signed an\nagreement with UBC providing for an\nexchange of students and faculty\nmembers. Plaque was a gift to the\nmayor of Vancouver from the mayor\nof Siegen, who was present at signing\nceremony in Germany.\nUBC has modified admission\nrequirements slightly to give students\nplanning to enter the University from B.C.\nsecondary schools a wider choice of courses\nin Grades 11 and 12.\nAlthough secondary graduation with a\nminimum C-plus average is still\nmandatory, the University now will require\nsix additional courses from a prescribed list\nof academic subjects, instead of seven.\nDr. Douglas Kenny, president of UBC,\nsaid the change still leaves UBC with\nadmission requirements among the most\ndemanding in Canada.\n\"However, with the provincial Ministry\nSenate sends\nprogram back\nto committee\nThe chairman of the curriculum\ncommittee of UBC's Senate says he is\n\"hoping and planning\" that a proposal for\na new four-year engineering program in\nthe Faculty of Applied Science will be\nready for consideration for a second time\nat the Feb. 16 meeting of Senate, where\nthe proposal failed to win approval on Jan.\n19.\nThe detailed proposal for the four-year\nprogram, which the curriculum committee\ndid not recommend for approval on Jan.\n19, was contained in a 120-page document.\nThis was supplemented by a document\ndistributed at the January Senate meeting\nwhich contained proposed changes to the\nprogram which were designed to meet\nreservations about it raised by the\ncurriculum committee.\nCurriculum committee chairman James\nRichards, in presenting the committee's\nreport on the four-year engineering\nprogram at the January Senate meeting,\nsaid concerns about it included the\nfollowing:\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 The faculty had presented no formal\nstatement of rationalization on academic\ngrounds for a change in the length of the\nprogram from five to four years;\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 The new program reduced, in some\ninstances, the number of units of work that\nstudents would be exposed to and there\nwas a lack of a core body of knowledge\nthat all engineering students should have;\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 Some committee members doubted\nthe ability of students entering the\nprogram from Grade 12 to handle the first -\nyear program of 19 units without a decline\nof standards; and\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 Some felt there was a lack of\nflexibility in some programs that would\nprevent students from taking electives\noutside engineering, that there was a lack\nof opportunity for student interaction\nbetween the various fields of engineering\nand that there were too many courses in\nsome semesters in some programs.\nDean Martin Wedepohl, the head of the\napplied science faculty, said it was\nenvisaged that some 60 to 80 Grade 12\nPlease turn to page 2\nSee ENGINEERING\nof Education introducing Consumer\nEducation as a compulsory course and with\nComposition 11 also becoming mandatory\nfor certain students, there would be little\nroom for flexibility if UBC maintained its\nrequirement of seven courses in addition to\nthose required for high school graduation\nby the ministry,\" President Kenny said.\nA provincial graduation certificate also\nrequires Physical Education, Health and\nGuidance, English 11 and 12, and Social\nStudies 11.\nTo enter UBC, a student must also have\nFrench 11 or an approved language 11,\nAlgebra 11, and a Science 11, plus three\nGrade 12 courses from the following:\nAlgebra, Biology, Chemistry, Physics,\nFrench, Latin, German, Spanish, English\nLiterature, Geology, Geography, History,\nGeometry, Probability and Statistics,\nWestern Civilization.\nDr. Kenny said most students take about\n14 courses in their final two years of\nsecondary school, so there would be more\nscope now for electives in the fine arts or\nother areas of personal interest. He\nemphasized, however, that students\nplanning to enter specific study programs\nwould have to meet all admission\nrequirements of the program sought, as\nlisted in the UBC Admissions Guide.\nHe said the modification of admission\nrequirements has been approved by the\nUBC Senate, to take effect in September of\nthis year.\nArchitecture\nprogram\nupgraded\nUBC's School of Architecture has taken\nsteps to upgrade its existing program\nleading to the degree of Bachelor of\nArchitecture.\nThe revised bachelor's program was\ngiven academic approval at the January\nmeeting of UBC's Senate, which was also\ntold that a School of Architecture proposal\nto institute a new Master of Architecture\nprogram, approved by Senate and the\nBoard of Governors in 1981, had been\nrejected on two occasions when submitted\nto the Universities Council of B.C.\n(UCBC).\nUCBC refused to approve funding for\nthe proposed M.Arch. program on the\ngrounds that it did not fall within the\ndefinition of a new program, Senate was\ntold.\nDr. Douglas Shadbolt, head of the UBC\narchitecture school, told UBC Reports that\nthe master's program submitted to UCBC\nwas the result of a complete review of the\nschool's curriculum which he instituted\nfollowing his appointment to UBC in 1980,\nas well as concerns raised by a visiting\nboard of the'Commonwealth Association of\nPlease turn to page 2\nSee ARCHITECTURE UBC Reports February 2, 1983\nStudents earned, saved less last summer\nThe Summer of '82 was not a good one\nfor UBC students.\nFewer students found work than in the\nsummer of 1981, and those who did find\njobs earned less and saved less.\nAccording to a report prepared by the\nStudent Counselling and Resources Centre,\nENGINEERING\nContinued from Page 1\nstudents with straight-A standing would be\nadmitted to the program in the first year\nwith the rest of the intake coming from\nstudents who had completed first-year\nScience and from other sources, such as\ncommunity colleges and other universities.\nHe said he had every confidence that\nstudents with high standing entering the\nprogram from Grade 12 would be able to\ncope with it academically.\nReferring to the breadth of the\nengineering program, Dean Wedepohl said\nstudents were required to take half a year\nout of four in non-engineering, non-science\nsubjects, which made the program\n\"intrinsically broad.\"\nHe added: \"I will not have anything to\ndo with a reduction in quality of program.\nIt has been my aim to improve quality\nwhen I have the resources to do it.\"\nDean Wedepohl's remarks were\nsupplemented by those of associate dean of\nApplied Science Axel Meisen, who said the\nproposal before Senate represented three to\nfour years of internal consultations in\nApplied Science, consultation with\ndepartments such as mathematics,\nchemistry and physics, which provide\nservice courses to engineering students, and\ninput from the engineering profession.\nHe said that new material related to the\ntransferability of students into the program\nhad been included in the proposed\nrevisions which had been circulated to\nSenate at the start of the Jan. 19 meeting.\nThis led to a motion by curriculum\ncommittee member Prof. Peter Suedfeld,\nwho asked that the proposal for the four-\nyear engineering program be referred back\nto the curriculum committee for further\ndiscussion with the applied science faculty.\nHe said the document distributed at\nSenate, which had not been discussed by\nthe curriculum committee, led him to\nbelieve that applied science had come a\nlong way to meet the committee's\nreservations about the program. The\nmotion to refer the proposal was approved\nby a vote of 41 to 26.\nARCHITECTURE\nContinued from page 1\nArchitects (CAA), which accredits\narchitecture schools in Commonwealth\ncountries.\nThe proposed master's program, he said,\nprovided for a more structured curriculum,\nincluding an increased number of\nmandatory courses and units of course\nwork. It also involved the appointment of\nthree new faculty members to encourage\nan expanded research program.\nFollowing the first rejection of the\nmaster's program by UCBC, the school\nsought and obtained the support of the\nCAA and the Architectural Institute of\nB.C. The program was re-submitted to\nUCBC, which again denied a request for\nnew-program funding.\nIn its submission to Senate in January,\nthe school said that after careful\nconsideration of current resources it had no\nrecourse but to recommend that the\nproposal to institute the M.Arch. degree\n\"be shelved indefinitely.\"\nThe revised bachelor's program\napproved by Senate incorporates those\nelements of the rejected M.Arch. program\nwhich are within the present resources of\nthe school, Dr. Shadbolt said.\nThe revised B.Arch. program involves\nthe deletion of five courses, the\nintroduction of six new courses and revision\nof 12 others.\nDr. Shadbolt said that the school would\ncontinue to review plans for its future\ndevelopment.\n'very few' students were able to finance\ntheir educational costs through summer\nemployment.\nThe lone bright spot in the report was\nprovided by the 92 female undergraduates\nfrom the Faculty of Applied Science who\nfound summer jobs.

At\nthe bottom end were women music\nundergrads at $1,602. Male music\nundergrads had median earnings of $1,937,\nas did male undergraduates from physical\neducation. The male phys. ed. students\nalso suffered the biggest drop in earnings,\ntheir $1,937 being almost 50 per cent\nbelow their 1981 median of $3,865.\nHere are some further highlights from\nthe report:\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 82.4 per cent of students who\nregistered at UBC for the 1982-83 session\nreported that they had sought employment\nin the summer of 1982.\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 Only 91 per cent of them actually\nfound work, down sharply from the 99-percent success rate of 1981 job-seekers.\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 The median number of weeks worked\nwas 11.3, down 2.3 weeks from the median\nof the summer of 1981.\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 In the summer of 1982, employed\nundergraduate men earned a median\namount of $3,145, a decrease of $530 from\nthe median summer earnings of 1981.\nWomen undergraduates earned a median\namount of $2,291, off $260 from the 1981\nmedian.\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 Men undergraduates reported\nmedian savings of $1,752, a $354 drop\nfrom the 1981 median of $2,106. Women\nundergrads dropped $219 to a median of\n$1,319. Male students saved 64.3 per cent\nof their summer earnings and women saved\n65.6 per cent.\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 28.6 per cent of the students have\npart-time jobs this year, 24.5 per cent of\nthe men and 32.9 per cent of the women.\nDick Shirran, director of the Student\nNew program approved\nUBC's Senate gave academic approval on\nJan. 19 to a new program in Atmospheric\nScience, to be offered jointly by the\nFaculties of Arts and Science.\nThe proposed program would be carried\nout in the Departments of Geography and\nOceanography and would offer courses\nleading to a Bachelor of Science degree in\nAtmospheric Science and a Diploma in\nMeteorology.\nThe report to Senate said that although\nUBC researchers have gained an\ninternational reputation in the field of\natmospheric science and several\ndepartments offer courses related to this\nfield of study, UBC lacks the core\nmeteorological courses needed for\nqualification as a professional\nmeteorologist.\nThe proposed program is contingent on\napproval of new-program funding from the\nUniversities Council of B.C.\nAlso approved by Senate at its January\nmeeting were a Ph.D. program in Social\nFoundations of Educational Policy and a\nspecialization in Dance within the Bachelor\nof Physical Education program.\nA reminder: Fill in cards\nIt's that time of year again when the\nRegistrar's Office reminds graduating\nstudents that they must complete\n\"Application for Graduation\" cards not\nlater than Feb. 15.\nThe cards have been mailed to\ngraduating students in the following degree\nprograms: BA, BFA, BMus, BCom,\nLicAcct, BEd (elementary, secondary and\nspecial ed.) BPE, BRE and BSc.\nStudents in the graduating year of the\ndegree programs listed above who have not\nreceived a card by mail should confirm\nwith the Registrar's Office that their local\nmailing address is correct. The number to\ncall is 228-4455.\nStudents in the graduating year of all\nother degree programs can get application\ncards from the office of the dean of their\nfaculty. Students enrolled in programs in\nGraduate Studies can get them from their\ngraduate advisor or departmental secretary.\nFrank, Copping elected to Board\nFourth-year Science student David Frank\nand third-year Arts student Margaret\nCopping will take their places as members\nof UBC's Board of Governors when it holds\nits first meeting of the 1983 calendar year\ntomorrow (Thursday, Feb. 3).\nMr. Frank is currently president of the\nAlma Mater Society and Ms. Copping is a\nmember of the 1982-83 Students' Council\nrepresenting the arts faculty. Both will\nserve on the Board for one year.\nIn other recent elections, the following\nwere elected at large to serve for one year\non the Senate, UBC's academic\nparliament: Sherri Dickinson, Ted Dixon,\nJoanne Querie, Ann Rahme and Mark\nThompson.\nThe following were elected to represent\nspecific faculties of the University: Peter\nNishihama, Agricultural Sciences; Sean\nWilliams, Applied Science; Bruce Gilmour,\nForestry; Peter Kendall, Law; and Brad\nWaugh, Science.\nCounselling and Resources Centre and\nauthor of the report, said 56 per cent of\nstudents registering for 1982-83 completed\nthe questionnaire on summer employment\n\u00E2\u0080\u0094 \"about the same as usual.\"\nMr. Shirran cautioned that the responses\nare unverified and in many cases are\napproximations, but said they could be\nused for making comparisons and noting\ntrends.\nOne of those trends shows that female\nstudents are still earning considerably less\nthan male students during the summer,\nalthough the gap is narrowing. In 1977,\nearnings for women were 62.3 per cent of\nthe male median, but the figure this year\nwas 72.8 per cent.\nSenate group\nto eye act\nA Senate ad hoc committee has been\nestablished to prepare recommendations to\nthe Ministry of Universities, Science and\nCommunications concerning revisions to\nthe University Act, the provincial\nlegislation that outlines the makeup and\npowers of governing bodies at B.C.'s three\npublic universities.\nSenate approved a motion by Dr.\nJonathan Wisenthal at its December\nmeeting to form a Senate ad hoc\ncommittee in response to a public\ninvitation by Dr. Patrick McGeer for\nsuggestions for changes to the act.\nThe Senate nominating committee\nsubmitted the following names for\nmembership on the ad hoc committee at its\nJan. 19 meeting: Dr. Thelma Sharp Cook\n(Education); Lisa Hebert (student senator -\nat-large, Arts); Dr. Anthony Hickling\n(Law); Dr. John Silver (Dentistry);\nCharlotte Warren (Convocation senator);\nand Dr. Jonathan Wisenthal (Auaj.^\nCAMPUS\nP\u00E2\u0082\u00ACOPI\u00C2\u00A3'\nGary Gardiner, co-ordinator of the\nB.C.

UBC Reports February 2, 1983\nGetting\nback to\nbasics\nFinlay Morrison\nProf. Finlay Morrison, who retired\nrecently as associate dean of UBC's Faculty\nof Pharmaceutical Sciences, believes his\nprofession has to get back to basics.\nBy basics, Prof. Morrison means a\nrevival of the good old days when\nneighborhood pharmacists knew and\nunderstood their clients' health problems\nand provided counselling and advice on the\nuse of prescribed medication and other\nproducts sold in their stores.\nProf. Morrison knows whereof he speaks\n\u00E2\u0080\u0094 he began his career as a dispensing\ndruggist in a small town on the Canadian\nprairies in the 1930s. \"When I started in\nthe profession,\" he says, \"I knew all my\npatients personally, you counselled them as\nbest you could and they expected that.\"\nAfter the second World War, however,\nthe profession got caught up in the concept\nof self-service and there was a tendency to\nget away from the one-to-one relationship\nwith customers, Prof. Morrison says.\n\"But the wheel has just about come full\ncircle,\" he adds. \"Even the large chain and\nfranchise stores are making an effort to get\ntheir pharmacists out from behind the\ncounter to talk to the patient on a one-to-\none basis.\"\nLike other health sciences professions,\npharmacy has undergone a revolution in\nthe last 35 years, Prof. Morrison points\nout. \"In the old days, the pharmacist filled\nout 'shotgun prescriptions,' which were not\nas specific as those prepared today. The\nrevolution in new drugs, their specificity\nand the possibility of food-drug\ninteractions ... all these things have\nmeant that the pharmacist has to be better\neducated and, as a result, there has been\nmore emphasis placed on training in areas\nsuch as pharmacology and clinical\ntherapeutics.\"\nCai^ndaR\nThe role of pharmaceutical training in\nuniversities, Prof. Morrison adds, is to\nprovide the student with a solid foundation\nof knowledge, which he or she builds on\nrollowing graduation through graduate\nwork and continuing education.\nA native of Saskatchewan, Prof.\nMorrison began his career as an apprentice\npharmacist in 1936. He was in retail\npharmacy until 1940 when he joined the\nCanadian army, winding up as aide de\ncamp to General H.D.G. Crerar,\ncommander of the Canadian army which\ntook part in the liberation of western\nEurope in the last stages of the Second\nWorld War.\nAfter the war he enrolled at the\nUniversity of Saskatchewan, where he got\nhis Bachelor of Science in Pharmacy\ndegree in 1947, the same year in which he\nwas invited to come to UBC as lecturer in\nthe fledgling Department of Pharmacy,\nwhich was then a part of a combined\nFaculty of Arts and Science. Pharmacy was\ngranted faculty status in 1949.\nThe University of Maryland awarded\nProf. Morrison the degree of Master of\nScience in 1952 and his Doctor of\nPharmacy degree was awarded by the\nUniversity of California in 1966.\nIn 35 years as a member of the UBC\nfaculty, Prof. Morrison says the only thing\nhe hasn't taught in his discipline is\npharmaceutical chemistry. Despite\nincreasingly heavy duties since 1973, when\nhe was named associate dean of the Faculty\nof Pharmaceutical Sciences, he's taught at\nleast one course every year.\nIn addition to his UBC duties, Prof.\nMorrison is a well-known figure in the\nprofessional pharmaceutical community in\nB.C. and Canada. He's served as both\npresident (1973-74) and registrar (1956-57)\nof the College of Pharmacists of B.C. and\nis a former president of both the Pharmacy\nExamining Board of Canada (1974-75) and\nthe Association of Faculties of Pharmacy of\nCanada (1957-58).\nHe was also involved with the drafting\nand presentation of a new B.C.\nPharmacists' Act, which came into force in\n1974.\nHe was made an honorary member of\nboth the B.C. college and the B.C.\nPharmacists' Society, a body analagous to\nthe B.C. Medical Association, at a\nNovember banquet in the Faculty Club,\nwhere he was honored by the profession\nand his UBC colleagues.\nIn retirement, Prof. Morrison continues\nto appear at UBC on a part-time basis at\nthe request of pharmaceutical sciences\nDean Bernard Riedel in the development\nof improved relationships with the\npharmaceutical industry and with\npractising B.C. pharmacists.\nHe's enrolled this winter foi a Vancouver\nSchool Board course in the repair of small\nappliances (\"I've always been a bit of a\ntinkerer with machinery \") and he'd also\nlike to do some travelling and enrol for\nsome UBC courses in areas such as music,\nfine arts and philosophy (\"The kind of\nthing you never had time for in the past\").\nFund established\nThe UBC English department is\nestablishing an endowment scholarship\nfund to honor Prof. Jan de Bruyn, who\nretires at the end of the current academic\nyear after a teaching career that began in\n1951.\nThe fund will honor his contributions to\nEnglish studies, in particular his\ncommitment to students and his generosity\nin establishing scholarships and prizes for\nundergraduates.\nContributions to the fund, which are\nincome tax deductible, should be sent to\nthe UBC Alumni Fund, 6251 Cecil Green\nPark Road, Vancouver, V6T 1W5.\nCheques should be made payable to the\nJan de Bruyn Scholarship Fund.\nCalendar Deadlines\nFor events in the weeks of Feb. 20 and Feb. 27,\nmaterial must be submitted not later than\n4 p.m. on Thursday, Feb. 10.
