Besides, we\nshould thank our benefactors, not deride\nthem.\nBut the worst thing is the attitude some\ncanvassers have towards their efforts. An\nunpleasant incident that took place in The\nUbyssey office at noon Wednesday best\nserves to illustrate this:\nThe Ubyssey's news story Tuesday on\nthe \"Blitz\" had included totals raised by\neach of the canvassing groups, which had\nbeen arranged in faculties. Figures quoted\nby The Ubyssey were taken from the \"official\" Blitz blackboard in the Armoury.\nBut the total for Pharmacy-Nurses apparently in error.\nWednesday some Pharmacy spokesmen\ncame down to The Ubyssey and asked for\na front- page correction, which was promised immediately.\nInstead of leaving at this point, the\nPharmacy ring leader threatened the news\neditor: \"You're going to have a lot more\ntroubles, lady, when the whole Pharmacy\nfaculty comes down here to complain!\" lie\nleft in anger.\nHe soon came back, -stirred to even\ngreater wrath, armed with the charge that\nThe Ubyssey wa.s \"discriminating\" against\nthe faculty of Pharmacy. As evidence of\nthis heinous crime he cited the error made\nin The Tuesday paper and accused The\nUbyssey of having deliberately disregarded\nPharmacy's admittedly valiant efforts in last\nweek's Blood Drive.\nA loud and unpleasant, argument ensued\nfor some time until Councillor Peter Meekison stepped in and persuaded the Pharmacy people to leave.\nThis incident is not mentioned here in\norder to prove that either party was right\nor wrong.\nThat is not the point.\nWhat is important is that the Pharmacy\nfaculty or anyone else should be so concerned that their efforts be known to everyone.\nThe Blitz was carried out for tho good\nof the university a.s a whole, and certainly\nnot to bring glory to any particular faculty.\nNobody cares who in the university\nbrought in the money. What matters is that\nUBC students banded together and yave\nthe Development Fund a substantial shot\nin the arm.\nStudents who made the Blitz a success\ncan be proud. But there can be no pride in\nthose who wish to reduce the Blitz tu the\nsame level of pettiness on which, unfortunately are so many extra-curricular activities at UBC.\nBy DAVID ROBERTSON\nAll Russians Are Bad Men?\nBy Rupert Buchanan\nThe Lucemachine has just completed\nanother classic of propaganda; millions of\nNorth Americanse have obediently gobbled\nit up.\nThis time it was a series of four articles\nin \"Ldfe\" on the Russian Revolution by\nthat, \"eminent popular historian,\" Alan\nMoorehead, with the assistance of \"a worldwide team of scholars.\"\nWe discover that the Russian peasants\nare by nature \"lazy and indolent,\" that the\nmutiny on the battleship Potemkin wasn't\nreally a struggle for a cause but merely a\nrevolt against bad food, and that \"basically,\nthe Russian Revolution is lhe story of the\nlife and death of a constituent assombU .\"\nParticularly amusing wa.s Moorohcad's\nexplanation of the West's armed intervention in 1919: \"Among the Allies there wa.s\na general feeling that, in some way or other,\nRussia had to be kept in the war . . . and\nthe best way to do this seemed to be to\nunseat the Bolsheviks.\"\nIn short: \"All Russians are bad men.\nDemocracy i.s good.

We've\nbeen watching our friends anel\nsome of our enemies lately,\nand they seem to divide up\ninto these categories.\nfirst, there are those who\nsay, \"Oh well, we'll all be\n\"vaporized\" one of these days\nanyway, so what the hell.\"\nBut they don't really mean it.\nBehind their fatalism there is\na quite cheerful conviction\nthat some benign Providence\nhas a happy ending all planned\nout and that things will really\nwork out for the best for the\ndear old human race which,\nafter all, is really too nice and\ntoo important to be allowed to\ndestroy itself.\nSecondly, there is a much\nsmaller group who arc really\nworried, but who sec no reason to believe that anything\nthey might do about it would\nbe in the slightest degree effective. In their frustration,\nthey turn away from the Whole\nproblem in cynical defeatism\nand shrug their shoulders.\nThirdly, there are genuine\nbelievers who just KNOW that\nGod has a Plan and a Purpose.\nSometimes, this is quite specific; there will be Armageddon, followed by the Millenium, and so on, To them, all\nour problems arc only infinite\nand insignificant, parts of the\nDivine Plan.\nFourthly, there arc those\nwho believe in some inevitable\nbut undefined consummation\nof the evolutionary process.\nThe Life Force or whatever or\nwhoever is th.e Great Architect may need a little co-operation from us humans, but essentially he, or it,, has it all\nnicely in hand.\nIn both of these latter two\ncases some Purpose is inherent\nin the cosmos and man is too\nimportant an element in that\nPurpose lo be summarily extinguished.\nFifthly, there are those who\nsee no evidence of this Providential Plan, who find no\nmeaning and purpose except\nwhat man himself creates and\nprojects, who believe that man\ni.s appallingly free, free to\nblunder into his own final cosmic doom, and that in a dec-\nado or so from now thc indifferent stars may look down on\nan empty and noxious Earth.\nBut they also believe that man\nis equally free to choose thc\nother course, the one which\nwill guarantee his continued\nexistence.\nIn short, some of our contemporaries feel NO responsibility for our destiny as a\nspecies, some feel a limited responsibility and a few see nobody who's going to assume\nthe responsibility except themselves, ourselves, Thc first\ngroup can quit reading at this\npoint; we have nothing to say\nto them. The second and third\ngroups can perhaps get together to strike a blow for human survival.\nAnd it's no good just leaving\nthe problem up to our leaders\nto solve. They are too busy\nplaying a much more engrossing game, a sort of international chess with the balance\nof world power shifting with\neach carefully calculated\nmove. The problem is ours.\nIt must be the cumulative effort of you and me and all the\nothers like us if it is to be effective.\nCo-operation and a rational\napproach to our problems is\nthe only answer. But somehow so far, at least, we seem\nlo have fallen down on the job\nof co-operation. The see-saw\nof civilization seems to be leaning heavily groundward and\nno one appears willing to shift\nto the other end. We of the\nWest arc convinced that our\nteam is best and quite possibly\nthe same may be said of the\nEast.\nLETTERS TO THE EDITOR\nLost- Students\nEditor, Thc Ubyssey,\nDear Madam:\nVarious members of tho faculty have made extended trips\nto remote parts of the province\ncampaigning for the UBC Development Fund. In almost\nevery place there have been\ndisturbing stories about local\nhigh-school graduates w h o\nhave recently entered the University but have given up, returned home and abandoned\ntheir University career. The\nusual story was that these studenls had not marie any\nfriends, and had not even spoken to menib\"rs of the faculty\naf'er regis] rat inn period.\nMuch of their diiT'\"iil!v may\nhe clue to their person;,1 and\nacademic shortcomings, hut\nthe complaints are so widespread that we believe the University must accept much of\nthe responsibility.\nAt the recent Academic Symposium at Parksville, we heard\nfurther evidence from students\nand members of the faculty\nlhat for new sludents, especially those from out of town, the\nUniversity is an impersonal\nand even hostile place.\nSouth African Election\nMore Interesting, Important\nBy JUAN JOSE FULFORD\nCanada is not the only country having an election this\nyear. It should be remembered that there is also going to\nbe an election in tiie Union of\nSouth Africa. I will even go so\nfar as to say that, not only is\nit of more world wide importance, but it will probably\nprove of more interest.\nBELIEVE IN SEGREGATION\nAt tiie present moment tiie\nNationalists are in power,\nThey firmly believe in Apar-\nthied (Segregation of the races)\nand, somewhat like lhe French\nCanadians of Quebec, Ihey also\nbelieve in biUngualism, a\nstrong national church and thc\nencouragement of the Afrikaans way of life and culture.\nSince the death of the much\nloved .Tan Smuts the opposition\nparlies have not been able lo\noffer much of a resistance to\nthe Nationalists; they have no\nstatesmen of the1 calibre of Dr.\nIVlalan or the present Prime\nMinister, Mr. Strydom, and\nthey are rather in Ihe position\nof Ihe Conservatives before\nthe1 last Canadian election,\nThe very tact lhat the Nationalists have heen loo strong\ntnr In i lung may hriii\",' about\na change somewhat like our\nlast election, but this is very\ndoubtful. The opposition prefer to gamble on the chance\nthat world opinion, which is\nvery much against the Nationalists, will influence the voters.\nBut South Africa is a large,\nself-contained country with an\nexcellent climate and a well\nbalanced budget. They are\nalso rather fed up with the\nrest of the world telling them\nhow lo run their country, and\nif anything, world opinion\nwould probably influence\nthem the wrong way.\nThe Nationalists are going\nto run their campaign simply\non their past record, and will\nsock the go-ahead sign for their\nstepped up Segregation policy.\nAnd here we have the most\ninteresting and important part,\nof the campaign: will the electorate, representing over five\nmillion people, approve the\nNationalist policy of Apar-\nl hied 7\nCRUDE OPPRESSORS\nIf Ihey do approve, and il\nis a fairly safe he! Ihey will,\ndoes I Ids mean lhat five mil\nlion I went ieth cent ury cil i/em-s,\nintelligent, well educated people enjoy ing a lim.h standard\nof living, are still more than\ncrude oppressors, who refuse\nthe native hi.s rights, rob and\noverwork him, wicked immoral people who treat other humans worse than dirt'.' As their\nelected Prime Minister, his\nsins are thei.r sins, therefore\nall the various adjectives hurled at Strydom by his enemies,\nmust, also apply to the whole\npopulation.\nI refuse to accept this. I\nprefer to flunk of the ordinary-\nSouth African as the same as\nus, no better anel certainly no\nworse. If (hey give their approval to the policy of Apar-\nthied then it is obvious lhal.\nthis policy i.s not as wicked\nand inhuman as some people\nW'.M.ild have us believe. If Ihey\nsend Strydom hack to parliament then he eannol he as bad\na.s lie has heen painted.\nNobody will deny lhal Ihe\nNationalists have an uncanny\nknack of producing Ihe most\nlad less and hull-headed poli-\nI icians I hat cent inenls has ever\nseen, and Ihe refusal lo explain their moves lo lhe oul-\nside world has only added lo\nIhe con fi ision.\nSLOW AND CARFIFUL,\nl'piil the Union is not cursed\nwith television; South Africans\nknow how to relax and think;\nthey differ from the brainwashed, led by the nose1 masses\nof Europe and America in thai\nthee- slid discuss things and\nmake up their oven minds. Uy\nour standards Ihey are slow,\nbut (hey are also careful. 1\nhave a feeling Ihey will reduce\nI h e Nalionalisls' majorily\nslightly-, bid not em.)ugh to prevent their go in!.;' ahead wiih\ntheir plans.\nff Ihis happens 1 Ihink we\nshould lake a second and more\ncareful look at Ihe much maligned policy of Aperlhied.\nPerhaps from Ihe distant\nsafety of ('anada we do not appreciate the conditions in lhe\nUnion. We have heard so\nmuch of one side of tho argil\nmint il would Im refreshing lo\nhear the Nal'ionalisls point of\nview f\"r a change.\nPerhaps Piiim.-s are so vast ly\ncliffp'l'eiil oul l.'iere thai Segre-\nim lion is I he best pnl icy, | am\nsmggi'.sS ing I .haI il s em m ies\nIm ve noi lol-1 m-i all the story .\nThe dehal ing union ma v ho in\nIt rested . mean while I re| ii v |o\ncom Ip i un simply I leca 11 se it is;\nI'asl i icual p11\u00E2\u0096\u00A0 I i i oiidemn .\nOut-of-town studenls have\nalways had an especially difficult time at this University.\nBut the startling expansion of\nrecent years has, we believe,\nmade the problems of adjustment lo institutional life insuperable for some of thc new\narrivals.\nWhat can wc do to prevent\nthis loss of useful students?\nTo citizens of outlying communities it is absurd that the new\nUBC Him speaks of the significance of \"our human resources\", when the University itself apparently treats these1 resources with such indifference,\nWe arc1 doing a good deal for\nforeign students but have failed t a render an equivalent service for those from B.C.\nObviously, the solution lies\nin providing comfortable residences with resident tutors\nfor alt non-Vancouver students.\nEvidence of this, if evidence is\nneeded, can be derived from\nour much better experience\nwith new women students,\nmost of whom now live on the\ncampus. But we feel that we\ncannot shelve the problem until residences are provided.\nSomething must be done immediately.\nThe faculty can play a useful role. It was resolved at\nthe Symposium that new arrivals should be assigned to selected members of the facully\nto whom they could bring\ntheir personal or academic\nproblems. These faculty members would not act as counsellors, but merely as \"faculty\ncontact\" who would provide\nthe students with some moans\nof breaking through thc hard\ninstitutional shell.\nWe also believe that the administration could tlo much\nmore than it docs in selecting\nand supervising off-campus accommodation.\nBut we believe that senior\nstudents should also accept\nmuch more responsibility than\nthey do now for freshmen.\nEach freshman should know\na senior and be able to profit\nfrom the experience of a person who is still aware of the\nproblems of studying and living at a university.\nWe clo not want to make\nspecific suggestions because we\nfeel that the students thorn-\nsi Ive-; are most competent to\ndevise a sympathetic solution,\nWe merely wish here to draw\nattention to what we consider\none of the University's most\nurgent problems, one that cannot be solved immediately\nmerely by a larger budget.\nYours sincerely,\nH.

D, SCOTT,\nDept. of Economics\nif. if. tf.\nHome Ec?\nEditor, The Ubyssey,\nDear Madam:\nInclusion of Home Economics in boys' High School curricula, as favored by four\nmembers of the College of\nEducation (report in Ubyssey,\nFeb. 14, 1958) seems yet another step towards reduction\nof time devoted to more basic\nstudies in the High School.\nThe \"team spirit\", or philosophy, of the Western World\nhas been a peculiar ecquisilive-\nness. This stress on material\ngain has in turn fostered a\nmarked anti-intellectualism noticeable on every lqvel. The\nintellectual, the \"egghead\",\nhas no place in a society designed for the, organization\nman replete with grey flannel\nsuit and sincere tie; he has\nbeen relegated to the post of\nball-chaser for the team rather\nthan umpire. But organization may be our downfall if it\ncomes at the cost of our aesthetic ideals.\nWe as students arc in the\nbest position of all to set a pattern for others to follow. It\nis up to us to sec that co-operation becomes the keynote.\nSure, some soul-searching is\nnecessary, but we have no alternative. No sacrifice is too\ngreat to ensure man's continued existence.\nConstructive action resulting from rational thinking is\nour only hope if we expect to\nreach a point at which man can\nrealize his full creative potential and surely this is our ultimate goal.\nSigned:\u00E2\u0080\u0094\nLORENNE M. GORDON\nNOEL BENNET-ALDER\nALAN JAMES\nDOUG CAREY\nNORM FILMER\nVALERIE DILL\nJOHN McNEIL\nUndoubtedly manual training, home economics and a variety of other applied skills may\nbe of value, along with health\ntraining, in reducing the four\ndreaded \"F's of life \u00E2\u0080\u0094 fat, frustration, fear and fatigue.\"\nSome tuition in some of\nthese crafts is desirable. However, there is only a limited\namount of time available for\ntraining during the High\nSchool education of an individual. Introduction of a myriad of \"fringe benefits\" into\nhis curriculum inevitably must\ngive less time for basic courses.\nIl may be argued that advances in efficiency of teaching methods permit more applied training in High Schools\nwithout detracting from other\nstudies.\nNevertheless, expansion in.\nthe extent of material to be\ncovered within present basic\ncourses, particularly in the sciences, coupled with increase in\nnumber of subjects considered\nessential, must surely press\nclose on thc heels of rising\nteaching efficiency.\nAll too often freshmen encounter statements of professors in English or Mathematics\nbemoaning thc fact that High\nSchool training in these subjects is inadequate. Perhaps\nfuture university students will\nexcel at least in cookery and\ncarpentry.\nYours for less dressmaking\nand more education in High\nSchools.\nYours truly,\nT. G.
