C, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 19,1948\nNo. 67\nCOUNCIL COMPLETE AS LAST POLLING ENDS\nBy JOHN NEWLAND\nIn which the author (a visiting\nFireman from the University of Washington) notes the VBC campus . . .\nespecially the similarity between the\nCaf and Washington's own Clark hall.\nA Ford, carrying pilgrims\nfrom the University of Washington, approached the borders\nof the University of British\nColumbia campus, its headlights\nknifing through the darkness\nand illuminating the part of\nthe campus on the edge of the\nroad. i\nInside the Ford, one of the pilgrims\nwiped the steamed window clean with\nhis sleeve and peered out .\n\"Hey!\" he said. \"This campus looks\na lot like ours!\"\nEven in the darkness, it was similar.\nTrees were growing; construction was\nscarring the skyline; rain was falling.\nIn the sunlight next morning, the\ncampus still appeared similar to that\nof the U of W. The roads were rough\nin places and muddy in the same or\nother places. We laid the blame on\npost-war construction \u00E2\u0080\u0094 the scape-goat\nresponsible for muddy roads at the\nUniversity of Washington.\nSAME DISTANCE FACTOR\nDistances between points of interest\nwere much the same at both universities, we found.\nIt was a long windy walk to the\nCaf. The Caf is like University of\nWashington's Clark hall. People standing around wasting time. People sitting around wasting time. Other\npeople playing bridge and drinking\ncoffee, and some browned-off types\nin blue raincoats talking about the\nwar.\nThe Caf was crowded. We asked ihe\nfirst impressive looking female we\nsaw *why the Caf was so crowded.\nShe shook her dark curls and .smiled.\n(Continued on Page 2..\nMobile Movie\nUnits Service\nRural Areas\nAbout every five weeks,\nscattered rural communities\nthroughout British Columbia\nsuddenly achieve \u00E2\u0080\u0094 via the\nmovie's silver screen \u00E2\u0080\u0094 the\nrank of culture centers.\nWorking singly as they travel the\nlength and breadth of the profince,\nsix representatives of the National\nFilm board transform remote meeting\nhalls and even grocery stores into\ntheatres where folk gather from 10 or\n15 miles to see travelogues, musical\nand educational movies,\nPerforming one of several functions\nserved by the visual education division\nof the University's extension department, the men carry with them generators, projectors, and record players\nthat enable them to stage complete\nprograms.\nUSED AS 'TESTER'\nIn addition to running the movie\nprojector, the portable generator in an\nisolated community is sometimes used, j\ncuriously enough, to test never-useJ\nwedding presents\u00E2\u0080\u0094electric waffle\nirons and pop-up toasters\u00E2\u0080\u0094that might\notherwise lie for years, dusty and untried\nBreaking down the racial prejudices\nis possibly one of the most worthwhile\naspects of the film-circulation program.\nCulturally broadening motion pictures\nshown before mixed racial audiences\ntend to reduce reservations that ordinarily might continue unabated.\nTRAVEL DURING WINTER\nDoing most of their exhibiting during the winter season, the travelling\nagents go by train, boat, sleigh or any\nother means of transport that is available, sometimes being forced to contend with snow 10 or 15 feet deep.\nEstablishment of small film libraries\nin rural areas is another service of\nthe visual education division.

A short time ago when the Ubyssey\nstaff wandered south to revitalize the Washington Daily, gimlet-\neyed Joan Grimmet was assigned the task of checking out the\nPuget Sound variety of male animal.\nOne sweeping glance, and she p;,-^ ; \t\nnouncod them downy-cheeked, informal and loaded with jack. Leave us\narrange our sloppy-Joe clothing and\nproceed with an analysis of the fair\nsex hereabouts.\nCoeds on every campus in the world\nhave some physical, emotional or\nmoral attribute that* sets them apart\nas a unique form of femininity to be\nfound and enjoyed only on their home\ncamps.\nSOUTHERN FOOTWORK\nAt shoeless Mississippi U. in the\nbackwoods South, it's large splay feet.\nAt Washington State on the banks of\nthe Palouse river, the aggie girls\ndevelop bulging leg muscles in stump\npulling classes. At Southern Cal they\ncultivate the torso for wandering talent scouts.\nAt UBC the female of thc species\nis unusual at both ends. On top is the\nluxuriant thatch which flourishes in\nthe gentle rains common to tho region.\nOn the bottom are the rubber boots.\nIt is probably the lung hair that.\nI\ncaused the UBC woman representative\nto see Washington men as young, informal and flush. Perhaps all the\nwrinkles were screened out by the\ndropping locks. As for money those\nwere cabbage leaves we were saving\nup to send to Canada.\nWET WEATHER SWAGGER\nThe weighty waders have a remarkable affect. The ladies have developed a wet weather swagger that the\ncasual visitor finds more than intriguing. The regents should consider a\ncorresponding course for U.W. femmes\nfatales\nSocial life seems to come first, last\nand always. If tlie choice must bc\nbetween pleasure and duty \u00E2\u0080\u0094 the\nlighter side invariably wins out.\nOpinions of the visiting men varied.\nMost found UBC women brimming\nwith vitality, and prone to spend thc\nwee hours in lusty song. It could be\ndisconcerting in the long run. PAGE 2\nTHE DAILY UBYSSEY\nThursday.

EDITORIAL ASSISTANT: Carol Murdoch.\nFACULTY ADVISER: George Astel.\nIT SAYS HERE\nDown through the journalistic ages, editors have felt called up to pontificate upon\nthe most ponderous issues through tho\nmedium of the editorial.\nA few outspoken editors have managed\nto get themselves shot by ardent readers.\nSome get their offices sacked. And soma\nmerely receive threatening letters.\nThe life of the editor' is a hazardous one.\nUpon the shoulders of this man necessar-\nliy rests the responsibility of reforming ths\nmiguided masses. The masses are, of course,\nmisguided. Heaven knows how that situation\ncame about.\nBut if the editor decides a cause is worth\na crusade, the masses must be instructed.\nThey must be prodded and coerced, if necessary, until they are able to recognize the\nTruth.\nIn America, despite the lethargy of the\npopulation, several noteworthy campaigns\nhave been won by the sheer courage and unbounded verbiage of editors.\nThe men of editorial journalism deserve\na great deal of credit for such feats as showing\nus the way to virtue through Prohibition.\nCurrently, our most illustrious press would\nsave the peace with a formula called Universal\nMilitary Training.\nThe beauty of the crusading editorials\nis really their ability to bring into alignment\nand make uniform the thought and action of\nall the inhabitants of the land. This is called\nmolding public opinion. What a bo6n it is\nthat all the editors are citizens who know\nwhat is best for the masses.\nYour Canadian editors, too, will doubtless\nclaim success in the editorial field. And you\nmust have had martyrs to the holy causes\nfought and won.\nThe record of the editors all over the\nworld stands as a beacon in the troubled\nworld, and we should heed each, nuance of\nevery column, past, present and future.\nTo the editors of newspapers we owe\nthe uniformity of thought and opinion which\ncharacterizes every democratic nation. In our\nelections, there is never any question in the\nminds of those who read the editorials about\nwhich candidate will be elected. The editors\ninvariably lead us on the straight and narrow,\nout of the Stygian abyss of ignorance.\nWithout this leadership we should be\nlost.\nWe must, therefore, always read editorials. We must study them and try earnestly\nto become indoctrined with the enlightened\nopinions of the editors. Only in this way\ncan we hope to achieve the intellectual uniformity that is necessary if Democracy is to\nfunction.\nYes, indeed.\nI\nncrease\nin All\nowance\nBoosts Veteran Morale\nPrime Minister King's announcement of allowance boosts\nto married student-veterans has, if nothing else, boosted the\nmorale of 1500 UBC undergrads.\nThe vets' wives, with $4 to $22 extras _\nto ease the strain on the family bud\nget, are still shouting huzzahs. To all\nof them, whittling down the High\nCost of Living has become the biggest\nworry in recent months. For instance,\nwhen he roamed about Acadia yesterday:\n\"We had enough in the bank to keep\nus going perhaps another six months,\"\nsaid Mrs. W. T .Bourns of 27B, wife\nof a chem engineering student. \"The\nincrease was a salvation!\"\nThe H. P. Holkestads of 26A, with\ntwo children, will now get $132-worth\nof DVA funds. Mrs. H. breathed an\naudible sigh of relief and told us delightedly:\n\"Now we won't have to be magicians\nany longer!\"\nBut the Canadian Legion, not quite\nsatisfied with the increases, wired\nPrime Minister King that the single\nvets' problems here still need attention.\nCLASSIFIED\nNOTICE\nWEST END STUDENTS are invited\nto attend a young adults discussion\nof community and world affairs, sponsored by Gordon House, corner of\nJarvis and Nelson St, The group will\nmeet at 8 o'clock tonight in the Young\nAdult lounge to see a film, \"Man,\nOne Family\" with discussion to follow.\n* \u00E2\u0099\u00A6 \u00E2\u0099\u00A6\nPHRATERES will hold an important\nmeeting at 12:30 p.m. today in 2()0\nPhysics hall.

We had found\na dissimilarity. At the University of\nWashington, the Greeks have houses.\nThey drift to their houses to spend\ntime during classes, and many of the\nindependents drift off campus to the\ncoffee shops and cafes in the University business district. Yet Clark hall\nis as crowded as the Caf.\nWe thought about this crowding.\nPerhaps we were on the trail of another dissimilarity between the two\nUniversities.\nWe asked about student government.\nThe girl smiled. \"It's sublime,\" she\nsaid, \"simply smashing.\"\nIt is much the same as ours \u00E2\u0080\u0094 same\ndemocratic election procedure, same\nrepresentatives. But there is a difference.\nNO FACULTY REPRESENTATIVE\n\"There isn't any faculty representation on the Control board,\" the impressive-looking female said.\nThis, we thought, is a bigger difference than we thought\u00E2\u0080\u0094No faculty representation on the Control board.\nCollege students were getting the opportunity to use their heads without\na faculty whisper at their elbow. They\nhave proved, according to the girl,\nthat students can use their heads without coaxing.\nThey have a record of not one of\nthe decisions of the Control board being disapproved by the faculty when\nthe minutes of the Control Board\nmeetings were submitted for approval\nafter the decision was made. This, we\nthought, is significant.\nTREK BACK TO BROCK\nThe impressive-appearing female\nwalked the long, windy trail with us\nback to Brock Hall.

If the\nmedical schools in the other Provinces have good opportunities to offer\nthe medical graduate, he will not\nreturn and is lost to the Province\nas a whole. The establishment of a\nmedical school and teaching hospital\nat UBC would prevent this.\nA medical school would be the\nfirst major step towards the establishment of a medical centre, that is, a\ncentre where we would have a nucleus of experts in all fields of medicine. This would offer the city and\ncountry practitioners an opportunity\nto refer cases to the University Hospital for excellent consultations and\ntreatment. Also, the medical school'\nwould be able to operate a Central\nDiagnostic Clinic to serve the needs\nof city and rural communities alike.\nThrough the facilities of a medical\nschool at UBC, specialists could be\ntrained and assisted in improving\nthe health standards to the rural\ncommunities.\nThe resources and personnel of a\ngood Medical school can contribute\nimmeasurably to research. It would\nbe difficult to conceive the many advances in Medicine and allied fields\nwithout the integrating influence of\nthe men, materials and atmosphere\nto be found only in a high grade\nschool.\nIn the field of research alone, a\nMedical school can justify its existence.\nIt is important that we all understand that the establishment of a\nmedical school and teaching hospital\nat the University would not only\nprovide better hospital and health\nfacilities for Greater Vancouver, but\nalso for all sections of the Province.\nProject Possible\nIf Funds Granted\nUBC's Medical School can be\nobtained if the Legislature were\nto make available the funds requested by the University to\ncover the estimated costs of a\nschool to operate oh the basis\noutlined in the resolution passed by the Senate in December\n1947.\nThe resolution outlined two possible plans of action which would be\nacceptable to the University. One\nplan called for a medical school and\nteaching hospital complete on the\ncampus. Such a plan would entail\nthe following costs:\nMedical School and Institute of\nPreventive Medicine $2,000,000-^2,500,000\nA 500 bed teaching hospital $4,000,000\nBudget for the first year of operation: $200,000.\nBudget for the second year of operation: $300,000.\nBudget for the third and fourth\nyears of operation: $400,000.\nFor the succeeding years the budget\nwould remain at $400,000 per year.\nIn addition to these costs it would be\nnecessary to guarantee the operating\ndeficit of the hospital.\nThe complete unit on the campus,\nwhich is acknowledged to be the\nbest arrangement, would cost about\n$6,500,000 for ronstruction and would\nneed a budget of $200,000 for the\nfirst year of operation.\nThe alternative plan calls for the\nerection of the medical school buildings on the campus and as a temporary measure to give the clinical years\nin existing hospital facilities in Vancouver. The costs of construction\nwould remain the same i.e. about\n$2,500,000, and the budgets would\nremain the same, The cost of conversion of some existing hospital to\nteaching purposs is not known but\nit would be substituted for the cost\nof a teaching hosptal.\nThese costs are high for medical\nteaching Is the most expensive form of\neducation that a university can offer.\nWe realize that adequate financial\nsupport does not guarantee a grade\n\"A\" school but the lack of proper\nfinancial support will result in a\nschool which will not justify its\nexistence.\nThe Legislature has already made\navailable $1,500,000 towards thc capital\ncosts of the school but the other costs\nare still to be met.\nPRE-MED EDITOR \u00E2\u0080\u0094 JACK LEGGATT\nTHE PAINFUL TRUTH\nFor the tpast year the policy of the Pre-Medical Undergraduates Society regarding a Medical School has henn to support the plan calling for a complete unit, including a teaching\nhospital, on the campus. The opinions which have led to this\npolicy have been steadily reinforced as time went by and as\nmore facts came to light.\nElsewhere on this page appear some answers to the questions why-how, where and when a Medical school should be\nestablished at UBC. The problems discussed apply to Medical\nSchools generally and to UBC's prospective school in particular. The answer are not guesswork, but are hard facts, based\non valid opinions of men dedicated to medical education.\nThese facts are not to be taken lightly. Considered together\nthey provide a sound, considered answer to any who question\nthe need for a UBC Medical School, or/who belittle its aims\nand potentialities, or who blithely disregard the problems it\nfaces. Whether these facts are widely known is a moot question.\nCertainly they have been given wide circulation. Individuals\nand groups have been provided with this information both in\nwriting and in person by the better informed students.\nThe painful truth, however, is that too few Pre-Medical\nstudents are themselves acquainted with the answers to the\nquestions which people off the campus are likely to ask. Then\nhow expect anyone who is not as intimately connected with\nthe Medical School as are the students to be intelligently aware\nof the problems involved.\nIt is not too late for Pre-Meds on the campus to learn some\nof the facts regarding a Medical School. Those who take steps\nto find the necessary information will be well rewarded for their\ntrouble. They will have the satisfaction of knowing that the\npresent Medical School policy is sound and far-sighted. It envisions an institution about which a real Medical Health Centre\ncan be built for the benefit of everybody in this province.\nWith the B.C. Legislature meeting in a few weeks the need\nfor universal support of the stand taken by the university\nbecomes more manifest. But what form should that support\ntake? Certainly not in the form of ill-informed demanding\nletters. Such letters, which betray a lack of understanding of\nthe problem, can do more harm than good. The situation calls for\nletters, memoranda and resolutions to MLA's from active and\nwel-informed individuals and organizations, supporting the\nuniversity's program on an intelligent basis.\nOne thing we must neither lose sight of nor let the legislature or the people of B.C. forget. We have a unique opportunity to establish a Medical School which can becme an admirable\ninstrument for the good and welfare of all members of the community. We must do all we can as individuals and as a group\nto pre,ss for the establishment of a school which will maintain\na high standard and will justify itself to the people of the\nprovince. \u00E2\u0080\u0094J.F.\nSchool Site Debated\nAs Meds Press Drive\nExperts Claim\nCampus Ideal\nWhere should the units of the\nMedical Faculty be established\nso that they might best serve\ntheir purpose^\nIn the opinions of the foremost authorities on Medical\nEducation, the best complete\nunit should be established on\nthe University Campus. This\nwould call for the establishment of a 500 bed Teaching\nHospital on the campus.\nThis is the ideal program, ideal\nsince it will: Insure close association\nand co-operation between the basic\nscience departments of the University\nand the Departments of the Medical\nfaculty, to the common benefit of\nstudents, graduates and research departments of both. A university\nunit would also insure university\ncontrol of the Faculty, thus eliminating possible sources of friction\u00E2\u0080\u0094political, professional or administrative.\nMoreover, clinical instruction is\nbetter organized about the Medical\nSchool and the University than about\na Teaching Hospital divorced in part\nfrom the University. The campus\nteaching Hospital would be costly,\nbut such an establishment would\nhelp to alleviate the dire shortage\n! of hospital beds in the Vancouver\narea rather than draw on the already\nshort supply for required study beds\nFrom a long term point of wiew,\nshould be realized that the Medical\nFaculty would provide a centre for\nall Provincial Health and Medical\nServices, and as such would be located where additional buildings can\nbe erected to form a compact unit,\nand further, where basic science\ndepartments already exist\nIn studying the case for a Medical\nFaculty established in its entirety on\nthe campus of the University of\nBritish Columbia, I think we should\ntake a lesson from the University\nof Western Ontario, which is at present prparing to establish Teaching\nfacilities on its campus.\nIn the words of the president of\nthat University: \"After 70 years of\noperation of a divided faculty, we\nwe are taking these steps in the interests of Medical Education.\"\nGRADUATE ADDRESSES PRE-MEDS\nDr. Bill Gibson Deplores Lack\nOf Liberal Pte-Medical Course\nEh-. William (BUD C. Gibson,\nArts '33, and first Prsident of thc\nMonroe Pre-Medical Society, outlined in an address to the Pre-\nMedical Undergraduate Society\nrecently, \"the UBC tradition in\nMedicin.\"\nDuring the course of his address\nhe recalled the early plans for a\nmedical school which Dr. Wes-\nbrook, UBC's first President, had\nbrought with him from his training\nin Medicine at Cambridge and his\npioneer work in pathology at Minnesota.\nDr. Gibson considered two main\nproblems facing the University in\nrelation to the field of medicine.\n1. A more liberal and less specialized B.A. degree for those proceeding to medical training, and,\n2. A consideration of what, a\nmedical school could do for the\npeople of B.C., rather than what\nthe people of B.C. could do for\nthe Medical school.\nHUMANITIES LACKING\nIt was pointed out that there is\na growing tendency in the best\nmedical schools in the United\nStates and at McGill to advise\npre-medical students not to anticipate their medical subjects while\nstill in the Arts Faculty It was\ntheir only opportunity to receive\na liberal education, since the four\nyears of the curriculum in Medical\nschool were, of necessity, becoming more and more concerned\nwith nothing but the medical\nsciences.\nSuch a liberal education cannot\nbc had at UBC today by thc premedical student who requires both\na broad coverage of the basic sciences as well as a grounding in\nthe humanities.\nEvery pre-medical student\nshould have an opportunity to\nprpare himself in physics and biophysics, organic and physical\nchemistry, biology, genetics, nutrition, psychology, sociology, philosophy, economics, history, English,\nforeign languages, the classics and\nmathematics.\nIntroductory courses in bacteriology, zoology, biochemistry and\nphysiology were useful, but the\npresnt degree requirements at\nUBC were such that a high degree\nof specialization was demanded for\ngraduation, thus drastically restricting the humanities which a\nstudent could take for credit.\nDEGREE A STRAIT JACKET\n\"The B.A. dgrec, once tlie symbol of truly liberal education, had\ncome to represent to the pro-\nmedical student at UBC a narrow\nstrait jacket, utterly opposed to\nthe principals of a broad educational foundation prior to medical\ntraining. Tlie responsibilities for\nbringing this to official notice lay\n^quarely with the Pro-Medical\nSociety,'\" said Dr. Gibson.\nThe speaker then passed on to a\nconsideration of the costs of illness to British Columbians annually, as contrasted with the\ncost of a medical school. The budget for a medical faculty would\nbe but four percent of the liquor\ntaxes collected in B.O. last year,\nor one-seventh of the amount\nspent annually on patent medicines\nby British Columbians.\nThe cost of mental disease in\nB.C. was contrasted with that of\nmaintaing UBC and the value of\npreventive services stressed. In\nthis regard a mental hygiene\nclinic for UBC was a necessity and\nheld great hope for the future of\nB.C. if all potential school teachers\nwere to get their training at UBC,\nto include some training in child\nguidance and juvenile psychiatric\neutities, remarked Dr. Gibson.\nCAMPUS MED-SCHOOL\nThe value of research activities\nin a medical school was described\nas two fold: 1. As educational and,\n2. As a means of adding to existing\nscientific knowledge. It was from\na reservoir of such knowledge\nthat discoveries like insulin and\npenicillin came at the hands of\nprepared men. Atomic research\noffers medical science many heretofore unknown opportunities of\ndelving into the mysteries of the\nbody. Practical applications have\nalways followed quickly fundamental advances.\nIt was futile, in thc opinion of\nDr. Gibson, however to expect\nto come on practical applications\nby chance in a busy hospital, unless the basic work was being done\nas a preliminary. For this reason\na medical school on the campus\nwas the best assurance that medical research at UBC would eventually be able to help tlie taxpayers\nof British Columbia.\nIn finishing his intresting and\nhelpful lecture, Dr. Gibson showed\ntwo rare books sent out from\nEngland to UBC's library by Sir\nCharles Sherrington, D.M., F.R.S.,\nas memorials to Dr Wesbrook, hi j\nCambridge classmate They were\n\"The elgancia\" of Lauronlius Valla, printed in 1476, and the early\nDutch anatomy of Bidloo.\nPre-Med Elections\nSet for March 3\nElection of a new slate of officers\nto guide Pre-medical Undergraduate\nSociety activities in the year 1948-49,\nwill be held at a special meeting in\nApplied Science 100 at noon on Wednesday, March 3.\nFor the positions of President, Vice-\nPresident, corresponding Secretary,\nand recording Secretary, nominations\nmust be in writing.

That is a\ndifficult question to answer\neven after considering the other\nfactors involved. The fact is\nthat the school should not bo\nexpected to open until it is assured of permanency and of a\nhigh standard of performance.\nTo .gain these assurances requires\nplanning, for which the time is definitely now. First, committments as to\ncapital funds and budget with which\nto maintain first class standards in\nteaching and in the other services\nwhich devolve on a Medical School.\n8he next step is to obtain the services of a Dean for the Faculty of\nMedicine. The high qualifications\nneeded fo such a position demand\nthat care be taken in his selection.\nHowever, once the right man is\nfound, certain features can be offered\nhim, by planning now, which would\nexpedite his accepting the post.\nThe assurance that the Medical\nSchool has the moral and financial\nbacking of the University, of the\nGovernment, and of the people of\nthis Province can prove to be a very\nattractive feature to the man respon-\n(Continued on Page 4.)\nSee Legislature Funds\nVELVET\nPENCILS ARE\nVftESStr^\n*WfiD\nThis means that the\nlead is actually bonded\nto the wood.

Life to the pre-med\nhas been nothing but \"wouldn't it be swell if ... \"\nTypical of these trials and tribulations is that of PUS president Jack Faggin who, for years, has been heard to repeat,\n\"wouldn't it be swell if we had a medical school!\" We're afraid,\nthough, his main piece of prose goes like this. \"Wouldn't it be\nswell if I could get into ANY medical school?\"\nThen again, Jackson isn't the only student wandering\nwhat the future holds. Other pre-med wishes include, \"wouldn't\nit be swell if\u00E2\u0080\u0094everybody turned out to pre-med meetings;\nall those who registered for the AMA medical test turned out;\neverybody got through Chemistry 300; the buses ran on time\nin the mornings; the Fall Ball was held in the Commodore;\neveryone had a non-political campus view-point; we had more\ncopy for this issue instead of this stuff; Dave Comparelli had\nmore money in the MAD budget, and ad-infinitum.\"\nStrictly speaking, an awful amount of hard work has been\ndone by the PUS executive this term in getting the people of the\nProvince educated on the why's and wherefore's of getting\na medical faculty started on the campus AT ONCE.\nCampaigns, speeches, letters, briefs, radio broadcasts and\ndozens of publicity means, have been used to let the people and\nstudents know what's going on.\nThe only trouble is that most of the responsibility for these\ngigantic undertakings falls back on the executive, who in case\nyou didn't know, are also taking several \"snap\" courses at UBC.\nHonours in Bacteriology, majors in Zoology and Psychology\nand a bare pass in Biology I are the ambitions of these hard\nworking students.\nA remedy for this state of affairs would be for every pre-med\nstudent, (all 534 at the last count) to get in and do a little work.\nYou must realize that the preparations undertaken now will\nbenefit you in the future. How about lending a hand?\n\"Wouldn't it be swell if everyone did!\"\nAnd so to bed.\nUniversity Senate OK's\nMed School Resolutions\nAt a special meeting called on November 27 for the purpose\nof considering the establishment of a Medical Faculty, the\nSenate unanimously approved the following resolution which\nwere submitted by a committee set up some two years ago for\nthe purpose of studying the matter:\n1. That the Faculty of Medicine be<^\nestablished as an integral part of the\nUniversity of British Columbia.\n2. That the establishment of a Faculty of Medicine be planned with the\nultimate objective of locating the\nFaculty of Medicne as a unit on the\nUniversity campus. That in the meantime, if it is impossible to establish\nit on the campus, the pre-clinical\nyears be given on the campus and the\nclinical instruction be provided in\nexisting hospitals when, in the opinion of the Senate and the Board of\nGovernors of the University, the\nfacilities are considered adequate.\n3. That steps be taken towards the\nerection of the necessary buildings\nto house the pre-medical, pre-clinical,\nand other allied servics of the Faculty\nof Medicine in association with other\nUniversity faculties and facilities.\n4. That the proposals for establishing an Institute of Preventive Medicine on the campus should be implemented.\nThe resolutions are the results of\ntwo years investigation. These resolutions were passed on to the Board\nof Governors. It now remains for\nthe Board to explore with the Provincial Government, City of Vancouver and the hospitals of the Vancouver and the hospitals of the Vancouver area, the possibilities of giving\neffect to them, and of discovering\na means by which they can be carried out.\nDoctors Probe\nEffects of Colds\nSmall mistakes can develop into\nmajor miseries. That, the medical\nprofession reminds Canadians, is particularly true in health matters.\nSeemingly trivial infections may easily develop into serious diseases.\n\"Cold,\" for instance, pave the way\nfor a host of afflictions, such as sinusitis, bronchitis and pneumonia. The\ndoctors warn us that it is wise to\nguard against the apparently minor\nailments, and to take prompt action\nwhen they occur, to avert dangerous\ncomplications.\nStudents Ask Aid\nOf Local Schools\nThroughout the province the call\nhas gone out to pre-meds in the\nhigh schools, to aid in the drive for a\nmedical school and hospitals on the\ncampus of the University of British\nColumbia. The response has been\nfairly gratifying to date, and more\nhigh schools are expectd to be heard\nfrom in the near future.\nIn suggesting that the prospective\npre-medical students in the various\nhigh schools form their own pre-med\nsocieties it is hoped that a permanent\nservice may be set up, for supplying\nthese groups with up to date information on pre-medical courses of\nstudy and requirements for entrance\ninto medical schools.\nA High School Information Committee has been formed to handle\nthe details of this programme, and\nplans for its executon have been\nformulated and have been under\nway for some months.\nas\n|\u00C2\u00A3E n^Aft Complete Service\ni^c v^ov In a Ix)vsly Home\nRefreshments - Flowers, Music\n2(111 W. 48th\nRAINBOW WEDDING\nRECEPTION HOME\nLEGISLATURE\n(Continued from Page 3.)\nand expensive an organization\nis a Medical School.\nAnother factor that must not be\noverlooked is the strong attraction\nwhich lies in the freedom and responsibility which can be offered the\nfuture Dean in selecting the nucleus,\nat least, of the staff, and in directing\nthe final stages of plans for the new\nschool.\nTo ensure a good start when the\nMedical School opens its doors requires:\n1.
