Prime Minister St. Laurent's announcement to the National Council of Canadian Universities last\nweek that Parliament will be asked to vote $100,000,000\nto the universities of Canada received the deafening applause of the distinguished educators attending the conference. St. Laurent's proposal that one half of the sum be invested for scholarships and the other \u00C2\u00A750,000,000 be distributed for new academic buildings is both realistic and timely.\nHowever, let's not forget\u00E2\u0080\u0094nor let others overlook\u00E2\u0080\u0094the\nfact that education is primarily the responsibility of the\nprovincial governments, not the federal. It is incumbent on\nthe governments in power throughout the country to outstrip the federal grants. We must not allow the federal money\nto be used by the provinces as an excuse to ignore their\nown pressing responsibilities and slacken the size of their own\ncontributions to universities.\nProvincial money can help equalize the difference in the\ncost of an education for the out-of-town student as compared\nto the cost to a student from Greater Vancouver. If the B.C.\ngovernment provides UBC with a grant in proportion to that\ncoming from Ottawa, a great number of UBC's problems\ncould be solved.\nMore On Socred Aid\nIt is probably considered trite to say that \"Canada is\na growing country, and B.C. is one of the fastest-growing\nProvinces in Canada.\" It's also the trite truth that this University needs funds desperately in order to provide factilities\nto train and prepare the specialists and leaders needed for\nthis growing Province and Country.\nIt is already evident that the Social Credit Government\n$1,000,000 capital grant per year for ten years which went\ninto effect last year will not meet the needs of the fastest-\ngrowing University in Canada.\nThe Minister of Fisheries, James Sinclair, suggested on\nthis campus a few weeks ago that intelligent and educated\npeople would be unlikely to embrace Social Credit, because\nSocred philosophy and economic theories are not likely to\nwithsand intelligent and informed scrutiny. And since such\npeople are presumably the product of universities, Mr. Sinclair's statement seems well-founded. Could this lack of political appeal be the reason for Social Credit's inadequate\nsupport of higher education?\nThe Coalition and Liberal Governments between 1947\nand 1952 actually gave more per year to the University for\ncapital expansion over this five-year period than the present\nProvincial Government promises per year over the next\nten years. It was during this previous period that the Biological Sciences, Wesbrook, and Engineering Buildings, costing close to $3,000,000 were bulit. It was also during this\nperiod that the Library addition, Physics, Home Economics,\nLaw and various Agricultural and Dormitory buildings\nwere built.\nThe Coalition Governments, then, not only gave more\nmoney per year for University expansion in absolute amounts at a time when Provincial revenues were much below\npresent revenues, but also at a time when the dollar was\nworth more, and could build much nvmo. And during the\n1947-52 period, capital grant-, to 11.\u00C2\u00BB\u00E2\u0096\u00A0 University made up a\nhiqher percentage of the Provincial budget than in 1950.\nFewer Fezzes, Mufti,\nIn the New Turkey\n(In ihe exchange programme\nof World University Service of\nCanada, UBC has one of Canada's largest foreign scholarship schemes. Each year the\nUBC committee of (WUSC)\npromotes contact between this\nuniversity and campi abroad\nby arranging five or six exchange scholarships. Last year,\nPaul Romeril was selected for\na year's study in Istanbul,\nwhere he encountered difficulties fortunately unique in the\nWUSC programme. Here is his\nreport)\nBy PAUL ROMERIL\nThe 23rd of October was\na somewhat portentious day\nto arrive in Istanbul, as was\ndiscovered upon landing. Our\nship moored in the Golden\nHorn, and the magnificent city\nlay all around us, incredibly\nstill and silent. The streets were\nempty, and even the red trams\nstood rooted upon their tracks,\ndeserted and motionless. Like\nthe crew members, I stood\nagainst the rail of the ship, staring in astonishment across the\nwaters of the Horn and Bos-\nforus to the great mosques,\nsoaring minarets, and lifeless\ncity.\nAt 5 o'clock thfs eerie atmosphere was abruptly shattered\nLegal Obligations\nby the shrill of a whistle echoing through the empty thoroughfares. In an instant the\nstreets were crowded, the trams\nresumed their clanking, and\nthe Horn suddenly filled with a\nthousand tiny craft of all colours and shapes, rushing in as\nmany directions. The Harbour\nPolice soon arrived at our anchorage, and we descended on\nthem \u00E2\u0080\u0094armed with Turkish\ndictionary and a few laboriously prepared questions regarding the strange reception.\nTo their vast amusement, we\ndiscovered that the National\nCensus Day had just come to\nan end. Everyone in Istanbul,\nobviously , had stayed home to\nbe counted, and now life could\nonce again be resumed.\nMUCH APPRECIATED\nMuch impressed by this example of thoroughness, I ventured ashore , the next morning, expecting some sort of reception committee. My anticipations by no means included\na brass band, but it was rather\ndisappointing when no one appeared. The shipping agent\nmentioned vaguley that someone had called to confirm the\ndate of my arrival, but had refused to leave his name.\nI discovered that both University and student organiza-\nno! clearly oemon-\nn- for aid\nThese faeN speak for tlumwdvcs, and\nstrate that the Social Credit Government'.-- pm\\nto UEC are hardly adequate.\nWhat's vou-r answc, Premier Btniutt0\nUBC LIBERAL CLUB\nThe Univesrity, although it\nhad no legal obligation to honour the scholarship agreement,\nresponded with great generosity, and decided to grant a\nmonthly fellowship in lieu of\nthe original arrangement. This,\ntogether with assistance from\nUBC, enabled me to remain for\na year of study of Republican\nHistory, political development,\nlanguage, and other things\nTurkish.\nThe University of Istanbul is\na very large co-educational institution of about 15,000 students, with its faculties dispersed throughout the fascinating older section of Istanbul.\nThese seven divisions correspond roughly with the structure\nat UBC, being those of literature, science, law, medicine,\npharmacy, economics, and forestry. There is also a school of\ndentistry affiliated with the\nparent body and a separate\nTechnical University. Each of\nthe seven faculties has a student association, none of which\nis connected with Administration in any way. From these\nassociations a Student Union is\nelected but its relation to the\nAdministration is \u00E2\u0080\u0094 to quote\nMost Canadians\nProbably most Canadians\nwoulJ think of such social development when Turkey is\nmentioned in conversation: but\nto appreciate the depth, intensity, and profound nature of\nthe eliange is quite another matter. A nation of twenty-two\nmillion has been completely\nre-oriented, and its whole way\nof life transformed. The Latin\nalphabet has been adopted in\nplacv of Araoie. and the Turkish lanauaae th,,r amhly ur'-\ned\u00E2\u0080\u0094levi'l'jtienizi d to such an\nextent t'mt older Turks have\none of its officers\u00E2\u0080\u0094\"not yet\nwell known\". There are only\ntwo university clubs to my\nknowledge, a Theatre Society\nand a Soprts Association, and\nthere is no significant student\npublication.\nThe Student Unions of all\nthree Turkish Universities in\n1948 formed a national student\nfederation which had done a\ngood deal to promote interest\nin student problems, and shows\ngreat promise for the future\nespecially if more senior support can be obtained. This Ls\none of the major problems confronting student groups in Turkey today, that of the division\nbetween faculty and student.\nIn the view of a Canadian student, there is what might be\ncalled an academic curtain dividing the two, making cooperative effort rather more difficult than is the case here.\nISTANBUL\nIstanbul University has a\nlong and distinguished history,\nbeginning shortly after the\nconquest of the city by the\nTurks in 1453. It was founded\nby Mehmet the Conqueror, r,\npoet and cultural potentate ia\naddition to being a military fig-\nvocab'ulary trembles when reading the daily papers. Islam has\nbeen disestablished in favour\nof a secular state, with results\nof profound social and political\nimportance, The younger generation, especially in urban areas, \~ notably irreligious, and\nthe elder more traditionalist\nelements are easily swayed by\nany political grouping display-\nin:; religious fervour, as the\nlast elections indicated.\nThe Turks have been masle\neven to emm-e ,:ieir ciothese,\ntions had been padlocked by\nthe Government, in the aftermath of the 6 September disturbance in Istanbul. Martial\nlaw had been proclaimed and\nall my contacts had mysteriously vanished. The University of\nIstanbul was without any\nknowledge of the scholarship\u00E2\u0080\u0094\nbut this deficiency was soon\ncorrected by interviews with\nfacully and administration officials. The position of student\norganizations in Istanbul was\nvery difficult, as a result of\nthe Government's repressive action. The tragedy of 6 September had arisen out of what originally had been organized\nas an orderly demonstration by\nthe Cyprus is Turkish Movement, whioh contained a large\nnumber of students. When this\nprocession was exploited by a\nfew criminal elements, however, the government saw fit to\ntake action against all student\nand many university agencies.\nWhen I arrived, therfore, the\noffices of WUS in Turkey and\nof the Turkish national union\nof students had been sealed and\ntheir organizations disbanded.\nEven the University itself had\nbeen trying without success\nto locate the official who was\nmy own main contact in Istanbul.\nure, and enlarged by Suley-\nman the Magnificent. Initially a\ntheological and law school, it\nbecame famous for its civil\nengineering and medical programmes.\nAt present the University has\na considerable degree of independence from the State, upon\nwhich it relies for funds.\nThrough the Ministry of Education, however, the government still may exercise general control, but there is a strong\nmovement afoot to attain full\nautonomy. Like most other institutions in Republican Turkey, Istanbul University has\nmade remarkable advances under the direction of Presidents\nAtaturk, Inonu, and Bayar.\nPerhaps the field of education shows most clearly the\namazing progress that Turkey\nhas made since the Kcmalist\nRevolution. There is a new\nschool house in virtually every\nAanatolian village, and for the\nfirst time,it is financially possible for a rural student tc\ngo on to University. With government assistance, engineers,\nhistorians, doctors, and journalists are being trained and employed in the building of a new\nsociety.\nso that now an Istanbul student cannot be distinguished\nfrom any other European. Only\nin Anatolia is there what might\nbe called a distinct national\ncostume. Here the village women often wear a \"charshaf,\"\nan enormous black cloth covering the head and shoulders,\nand the men baggy black pantaloons (like the local high school\nmode) and tweedy golf caps,\nin place ol the long outlawed\nfez. )\nlL'\n'.ued Next Weik) Friday, November 18, 1956\nTHE UBY3SEY\nPAGE THREE\nTie Sat\nMindful of the growing need\nfor scientiits in Canada's booming economy, we asked our employer, Doug Hillyer of the Tie\nBar (712 West Pender) if we\ncould lay aside frivolity occasionally on our weekly column,\noffer instruction in the natural\nsciences. \"Why of course, silly,\"\nhe replied, his merry eyes a-\ntwinkle, \"use all the space you\nwant to tell UBC students of the\nwonders of science and the natural world around them.\"\n\"And be sure to tell them,\"\nhe added, \"of the natural wonders of the Tie Bar, 712 West\nPender, which offers tasteful\nneckwear to soothe the savage\nbreast, coddle the unbuttoned,\nand give comfort to the downtrodden, disheartened and dyspeptic.\"\nAh, such a man is our employer!

Furthermore, the Empres Hotel is still\nstanding despite the fact that\nthe ivy that was believed to\nbe literally holding up the\nwalls was recently brutally\ntorn down.\nThe latest example of defiance of the march of time\ncame about as the result of a\ncivil defence announcement\nfrom Ottawa last week. In the\nevent of an atomic attack, Victorians were told to destroy\ntheir pets and evacuate the\ncity.\nAt that, lovers of our furry,\nfeathered or otherwise-attired\nfriends began objecting strenuously. The little old man who\nfirmly established that he\nwould remain with his two\ndogs in the city, radiation or\nno radiation, at last report\nhad received 140 congratulatory leters and phone calls.\nThis is probably causing\ngreat consternation to our\nmighty civil defence organization. Even now, Mrs. Whitney-Carload and her pet armadillo are being discussed in a\n1000-foot deep, concrete- encased, sanforized bomb shelter\nunderneath the Chateau Lau-\nrier (within easy walking\ndistance from the wine cellar).\nIf public protest keeps up,\nour usually reliable source\nreports that American estimates of casualties in Victoria\narising out of an H-bomb attack would be exceedingly\nhigh. Incidentally, Victoria is\npart of the Chastity Belt Line,\nthe Americans' 27th line of defence before the U.S. border.\nThis, of course, explains why\nCanadian visitors to Lower\nVancouver Island will soon\nhave to get visas of entry from\nthe U.S. consulate in Vancouver.\nCasualties are expected to\ninclude 6,546 spaniels, 352\nchihuahuas, 7 vegetarian\npoodles, 978 blue budgerigars,\n173 turtles, 8 goats, 2 rattlers\ndisconnected), 1 yak, 21,000\nmongrels, 431 Persian cats, 1,-\n156 goldfish (with and without\nscrofula), 4 orang-utangs, and\n46,183 pet owners.\nRealistically, one can say\nthat in the event of atomic attack, Victorians have nowhere\nto go but up \u00E2\u0080\u0094 or out, according to how the blast caches\nthem. Loaded into their tally-\nho's, small English ccrs, sedan\nchairs and on lo their 3-speed\nbicycles, most of the populace\nwouldn't get much further\nthan the Coronet Room in the\nEmpress.

That is Rey is\nCuban-born but we have no word on the guitar.\nWe have a few words from his\nsponsor:\nAs an artist, Rey de la Torre\nis in close touch with contemporary musical developments, particularly of the States and Latin-\nAmerica, with special interest\nior his youthful associates in\nHavana. Among these is the\nyoung Cuban composer, Julian\nOrbon, recent winner of a major Latin-American award, composer of a work for Rey de la\nTorre which the guitarist has recorded, and which has won\nstriking critical interest in New\nYork and elsewhere. Other\ncomposers, such as Jose Ardevol,\nand Joaquin Nin-Culmell, have\nwritten works for Rey de la\nTorre which appear on many of\nhis programs. North American\ncomposers now are composing\nfor this artist, whose repertoire\nincludes the standard literature\nfor his instrument, as well as\nmany works seldom-heard, and\nnew music written for and dedicated to him.\nLUNCHEON\nUniversity of B.C. Fine Arts\ncommittee and Special Events\ncommittee will sponsor an informal luncheon at the Faculty\nClub Friday for Mr. de la Torre,\nfollowing his noon-hour guitar\nconcert at UBC.\nAs well as the noon hour show\nde la Torre will be playing in\nthe Brock tonight at 8:30 for a\nlittle bit more than the twenty-\nfive cents being charged at noon.\nExactly $1.25 more.\nWe suggest you come and listen because this cat is the greatest.

Schneider, published by Rinehart 8c Company\nInc., N. Y.\nAt a time when the several\nfeet of intestine they dug out of\nof President Eisenhower at\nWalter Reed Hospital stands a\npretty fair chance of being\nposed heroically and immortalized in bronze in the same\nway that Jimmy Dean's death\nmask has been, the appearance cf political satire can\nonly be regarded as salutary.\nIn fact, a political satire\nthat can lunacize the already\nlunatic sway of American (I\nmight say North American)\npublic opinion is a heartening\nindication that some men. at\nleast, can still point a quivering finger at the Little Man\nand cry, as Mencken once did,\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2'You are an uspcakable\nboob!\" and garner laughing\nagreement for their pains.\nSuch a satire is The Golden\nKazoo, and it seems that such\na man is John G. Schneider,\nits author.\nThe novel deals with the\nAmerican presidential campaign of 1960, when, Mr.\nSchneider declares, the present trend of ballyhoo will\nhave ripened into full maturity, and both political parties\nwill place their campaign\nmanagement entirely in the\nhands of advertising agencies.\nPresidential candidates will\nno longer write policy speech-\nes, will no longer depend upon\nwhistle-stop campaigns, will\nno longer need to concern\nthemselves with troublesome\nMajor Issues.

In the words of Blade\nReade, atl-exec. in charge of\nthe Republican party: \"Don't\nsell the welfare state, the free\nenterprise system or whatever\nscrewball Utopias you've got\nfigured out for the USA.\nHenry Clay Adams is your\nproduct. He's a can of beer,\na squeeze tube of deodorant,\na can of dog food. Sell him.\"\nHenry Clay Adams is the\nGOP presidential candidate.\nBut he and his Democratic\ncounterpart, Jonas, play minor\nroles in the novel. The heroes,\nleaders, and molders of men in\nthe book are the admen, men\nwho Think Big and Think\nNew, whose philosophy is\nThe Gimmick, men who recognize the voting public for\nthe greedy, psychophantic\nclods they are.\nThe man who thinks Biggest and Newest is Blade\nReade, and he is also the man\nwho eventually picks the right\ngimmicks: Baby, and Ihe\nBreadbasket.

It\nis a play which eloquently\npresents Mr. Wilder's screwball, and often touching view\nof life, and it's rapid-fire\nchanges in mood were handled\ndeftly by director Michael\nRothery. It was in this play\nthat we were firs; made aware\nof the wealth of talented newcomers to campus acting. Many\nhad parts consisting of only\nhalf-a-dozen lines, but handled\nthem so well that they were at\nonce recognizable as individuals and not merely spear-\ncarriers. Helen Zukowski and\nMarilyn Meyers must be especially singled out for their\nsensitive handling of parts\nthat would have been merely\nembarrasing in the hands of\nless capable ladles.\nOf \"In Waltz Time.\" by-\nPhilip Johnson, it is surely\nunderstatement to observe that\nit was thc poorest-written play\nof the evening. Mr. Johnson\nhas the terrible vivacity tp\nassume that the mere regard-\nence of the waltz as immoral\nis issue enough to sustain an\naudience's attention. Doris\nChilcott has accomplished the\nsuperhuman task of making\nthe play fluid, and was helped\nimmeasurably in this task by\nanother estimable cast, of\nwhom Dianne Hill, as an eager-\nto-be-deflowered-virgin, must\nbe awarded special praise.\nPerhaps Christopher Fry's\nslightest play, \"Thor, With\nAngels\" was however beautifully staged by director John\nBrockington, who also came\nto have tightened up the script\nsomewhat. The cast was at\ntimes oyerwhelmed by Mr.\nFry's vagaries, but bore up\nwell for the most part. Singularly, the quavering comedy\nof Arthur Marghet and Geoff\nElliott's contageous passion remain in our memory. Generally, Fry . . . did.\nly you know about pseudo-\npregnancy, things like that\" I\nthought every fifteen-year-old\ngirl knew about psuedo-preg-\nnancy. Happens all the time.\"\nBaby, as things turn out,\nsweeps the Republicans into\npower. Baby is the Golden Kazoo, \". . .a real, honestto-\nod Lowest Common Demonin-\nnator.\" Relentless as a Dow\nJones report, riotous as an\nOlsen and Johnson Blackout,\nthe book sprints to its conclusion. It renders imposible any\napostasy from the Adman's\nAphoristic Absolute: \"There\nain't any high-brow in lowbrows, but there's some lowbrow in everybody.\"\nBARRIE HALE\nSYMPATHY\nTEA - NOT\nI'd like to say that I enjoyed the film version of the\ncontroversial play 'Tea and\nSympathy', but as I can't without indulging in the grossest\nprevarication, (not that I'm\nabove such sport when the occasion warrants it) so I hereby advance the theory that\nthe movie we recently saw-\nwas a fake, compounded of\nall the film cuttings from the\nauthentic item (which is even\nnow incarcerated in the MGM\nvaults in Culver City) and presented to gullible, slobbering\nexhibitors all across the land\nby lecherous, slobbering Louis\nB. Mayer as the initial stage\nof a monstrous plot to conquer and enslave the earth.\nHow else may we explain\nthis grotesque, farcial ballet,\nwhich could only be related to\nthe play if we accept as plausible the play's having an untimely sexual encounter with\n'Boy's Town' in a dim back\ncorner of the Metro lot'.' \"Whatever the dark truth of its origin, it emerges as a vague,\nsloppy and irresponsible travesty of the Broadway Wt\nSince Deborah and John Ker\"\nplayed together Mi long on c e\nGOES WITH\nREVIEWERS\nstage one might suppose\nthey'd know their goddam\nlines, and be able to give seme\nconsideration to such details\nas expression and feeling. Not\nso. Miss Kerr is pallid and\nfluttery and Mr. Kerr's dopey-\nhero suggests, rather than effeminacy, an affinity for\n'horse', or perhaps a perpetual\nhangover.\nTheir final scene together,\nplayed in a setting of flagrant\nartificiality, is conducted with\nthe ritualistic solemnity of an\ninitiation into the Royal Order\nof Moose. And, in view of\ntheir own feckless efforts, the\nunflagging competence of\nactors Leif Erikson and Edward Andrews in supporting\nroles surely be a source of considerable embarrassment to\nthem.\nHowever, if this movie is\ndreadful, there is still hope for\nthe cheesed-off cinemudict -\nproducer-director Pandro S.\nBerman is rumored to be held\nincommunicado in an asylum\ntor sex deviates in Pawnee,\nOklnh ma. as a direct, result\nof ;, recent Louis Ii 'Mayor\naiT;,a. 1 U)>annas!\n\u00E2\u0080\u0094 IMike Matthews\nSONATA CHARGES\nAVID LISTENERS\nFor the noon-hour recital\nlast Wednesday in the current series of Beethoven's piano sonatas, Robert Rogers, a\n4th year music student, performed sonatas number 1 and\n3. In the first sonata, Mr.\nRogers' interpretation was\nlyrical and refined, and in the\nthird, more robust. His playing of Beethoven is characterized by a sound understanding of the composers intentions\nin each sonata.\nH i s techniaue is always\n.sure, even brilliant, and his\nclear, intelligent phrasing is a\npleasure to hear. When\nthoughtful attention is paid\nto Beethoven's fondness for\nsudden forte and piano passages and to his short, playful\nphrases as well as his sustained slow movements, the result\nis a dynamic and electrifying\ninterpretation\u00E2\u0080\u0094as Mr. Rogers\nproved.\nThe two encores, an Intermezzo by Brahms and a fhnrt\nrhythmical piece by Copland\nwere also well-played and well\nreceived by a capacity audience.\nQcdmdah\nTonight and to tri o r r o vv\nnight:\nPlayers' Club present three\none-act plays: Thornton Wilder's \"Pullman Car Hiawatha,\" Phillip Johnston's 'In\nWaltz Time\" and Christopher\nFrys \"Thor, With Angels.\"\nCurtain time 8:30.
