I've never encouraged\nstudents to use the plan,\" Ed\nLipinski said Wednesday of M.H.\nInle and Associates Insurance.\n\"But if students are laying out\nmoney, they should be sure they\nknow what they're getting. It's my\nresponsibility to caution students.\"\nThe insurance agency, which\nadvertises in B.C.'s three university\nstudent newspapers, offers more\nattractive hospital and medical\ninsurance rates than any other plan\nhe knows of, Lipinski said in a\nletter appearing in the SFU\nstudent newspaper The Peak Sept.\n22.\nBut he warned students to read\nthe fine print with particular care.\n\"For the past four years I have\nsought specific information from\nM.H. Ingle and Associates\nregarding the company in order to\ndetermine their record of account\npayments ... and have been unsuccessful in obtaining the\nrequested information,\" he says in\nthe letter.\n\"Lipinski's letter is misleading,\ntotally biased and unfair to\nstudents,\" M.H. Ingle and\nAssociates manager Donald\nKopplin said Wednesday.\n\"If you took a survey of\nhospitals and doctors I'm sure\nyou'd see our plan works better\nthan any others.\"\nHe said his agency is under\nCommercial Union, one of the\nlargest insurance companies in the\nworld, and handles insurance for\nthe Commonwealth Games, B.C.\nLions and B.C. Teachers'\nFederation.\n\"McGill University, which has\nover 3,000 overseas students, has\nbeen using our plan for five years.\nThere's no doubt our plan looks\nafter the student.\"\nKopplin said his agency had\nmade several attempts to approach\nLipinski about their insurance plan,\nbut the director refused and \"put\nup a wall.\"\n\"Lipinski wouldn't listen to us.\nIt was a stalemate situation.\"\nHe called Lipinski's letter\n\"unfortunate publicity\" and said\nthe agency is submitting a written\nrebuttle to The Peak today.\nBut Kopplin admitted there had\nbeen problems in the past.\n\"We didn't use to have a\nVancouver office and students\nalways had to call long-distance.\nWe've had letters to Action Line\nand people complaining that their\nclaim hadn't been paid yet, but\nmost of the time it's not the insurance company's fault.\"\nLipinski said students at SFU had\ntrouble collecting their bills from\nM.H. Ingle agency. He added one\nstudent approached him about\nthree weeks ago and said he would\nnot buy the Ingle plan because he'd\n\"been stuck\" by the agency in the\npast.\n\"It seems a very strange thing to\nme for the information not to be\nmade available. I called the agency\nand they said 'Oh no, that's\nconfidential.' I'd think if they ran\nan honest show they'd let people\nknow it. It's very suspicious.\"\nUBC health services director\nArchie Johnson said the plan is not\nall it appears to be.\nHe said in 1963 when the\nuniversity dealt with M.H.

He was well\nknown and loved by many people,\nnot only for his teaching and administrative skills, but also for his\nsocial involvement.\nWalter Harry Gage died from\ncancer in UBC's Health Service\nHospital Tuesday at the age of 73.\nUBC's sixth president entered the\nhospital full-time at the beginning\nof August. Previously he had intermittently undergone treatment in\nthe Vancouver General Hospital.\nClasses will be cancelled from\n3:30 to 5:30 p.m. Tuesday to allow\nmembers of the UBC community to\nattend the memorial service, which\nwill be held at 4:15 p.m. in the War\nMemorial gym.\nThere will be no funeral, and no\nflowers should be sent to the\nmemorial service. In lieu of\nflowers, he asked that donations go\nto the Crane library for the blind.\nDonations may be sent to the\nWalter H. Gage Memorial Fund,\nCecil Green Park, 6251 Cecil Green\nPark Road, Vancouver, B.C. V6T\n1X8. Requests for specific information will be handled by the\nAlumni Association at 228-3313.\nHe is survived by his 103-year-old\nmother, Mrs. Ann Gage, who\nresides at St. Vincent's extended\ncare unit in Vancouver, and a sister,\nMrs. Elsie Harvey, also of Vancouver.\nRetired English professor\nWilliam Robbins was a student of\nWalter Gage's in 1927 and 1928 at\nVictoria College, and he recalls that\nthe young teacher revolutionized\nthe place.\n\"It was a quiet place. He had a\nway of making mathematics interesting. It became the most exciting subject in the college.\"\nRobbins said he thinks many\nstudents were inspired by Walter\nGage to go into mathematics,\nalthough they were not considering\nit previously.\n\"He struggled to help those who\nwere having trouble, whether they\nwere good in math or not, or\nwhether or not they were carrying\non in math.\"\nRobbins says the willingness to\nsincerely care for the students was a\npattern that he carried to UBC,\nalong with his interesting lectures\nand fine teaching ability.\nRobbins also recalls his\ngenerosity. In addition to giving\nmoney straight out, he gave personal loans, says Robbins, who\nonce received one himself.\n\"I asked him once what happened to them (the loans) and he\nSee page 2: DEAN\nBritish chiseler\nsculpts salary\nA UBC fine arts professor has\nbeen paid at least $5,000 even\nthough he has yet to put in any\nwork for the university, The\nUbyssey learned Wednesday.\nGeoffrey Smedley was hired\nthree months ago as a sculpture\nprofessor, but has been unable to\nenter Canada because of immigration problems, fine arts\ndepartment head George Knox said\nWednesday.\n\"There's no work he can do (for\nthe university) right now.\"\nKnox said he expects Smedley,\nwho was hired July 1, will arrive\nsometime within the next week.\n\"We have not received any information on his status at this time,\nbut he should be here soon.\"\nKnox denied that there was any\nimpropriety in Smedley being paid\nthree months' salary while he\nlanguishes in England.\n' 'Do you want him to work in the\npost office for three months?\"\nasked Knox.\nThe department has hired\nanother professor to teach\nSmedley's first-year class, which\nmeans two professors are being\npaid for the work of one, a source\nin the fine arts department said.\n\"The other sculptor is taking\nsome of his (Smedley's) courses\nuntil he gets here,\" she said.\nAn immigration department\nspokesman said Smedley completed\nhis final interview on Sept. 26.\n\"All of the processing takes a bit\nof time. Apparently Smedley didn't\nrespond quite as quickly as he could\nhave\" he said.\nArts dean Robert Will was\nunavailable for comment and\nassociate arts dean Peter Remnant\ndeclined to comment on the\nsituation. Erich Vogt, vice-\npresident for faculty and student\naffairs did not return any calls\nmade to his office regarding the\nmatter.\nHerbert Gilbert, a fine arts\nprofessor, said Smedley's absence\nwas not causing too many\nproblems.\n\"Several people have been\nhelping out, taking his classes for\nhim. A graduate student has taken\none of his courses,\" he said.\nWhen asked if any problems\ncould arise in the future because of\nSmedley's absence, Gilbert said:\n\"It shouldn't be a critical thing.\"\nAMS honors Walter H. Gage\nThe student representative assembly voted Wednesday to donate $500 to the Crane library on behalf\nof former president Walter Gage.\nA plaque will also be placed at an appropriate spot\non campus to honor Gage, who died Tuesday of\ncancer at the age of 73.\nThe assembly then stood for two minutes of silence\nin memory of Gage. The AMS will also send letters of\ncondolence to Gage's sister and mother.\nA motion to discuss the new constitution proposal\nsubmitted by engineering undergraduate president\nBrian Short was tabled until Oct. 18 to give the AMS\nlawyers time to decide if the document is legal.\nFormer AMS president Dave van Blarcom said the\nSRA should know what it is doing before the students\nvote on whether or not to adopt the constitution.\n\"A large part of the campus has been excluded from\ndiscussion on this issue. We should postpone\ndiscussing this ourselves until we have thoroughly\nanalyzed the contents (of the new constitution).\" van\nBlarcom said.\nA motion that no part-time student employee of the\nAMS can be a member of the student administrative\ncommission, SRA or any committee that sets pay or\nworking conditions in SUB was defeated.\nIn other SRA business a motion that the Norman\nBethune Club be exempt from submitting membership\nlists to the AMS was passed.\nMembership lists are open to the general public, and\nsome foreign student members feared that their home\ngovernments could retaliate against them upon their\nreturn for belonging to the club.

It was sort of a \"Gage\nRotating Fund.\"\nRobbins says Prof. Gage, who\nhimself played the piano for many\nyears, helped to get the Vancouver\nSymphony on its feet.\n\"He bought large numbers of\ntickets to help get things going,\"\nsays Robbins. \"He gave many\ntickets to students.\"\nRobbins said Prof. Gage also\nhelped with the defunct Players'\nClub and Mussoc, both of which\nexisted on campus to provide\nentertainment before there were\nmusic or theatre departments.\n\"Walter directed plays for many\nyears. Naturally, as he became a\ndean, he gave less time.\"\nAs dean of interfaculty affairs\nWalter Gage talked to all the first\nand second-year students during\nregistration, recalls retired classics\nprofessor Malcolm McGregor.\n\"But then the university grew\nand he couldn't talk to them all,\"\nsaid McGregor. \"He was extremely\nreluctant to give that up.\"\n\"He had enormous energy and\nwas always cheerful; a joke here\nand a witty remark there. He was a\nbig man and he had a voice to\nmatch. He was a very strong man\nand he was also a man of peace.\n\"The 1960's were a difficult\ntime,\" said McGregor. \"I think it\nwas Walter Gage who restored the\nuniversity to its stability.

Peter Davison said middle-\nclass church members have to open\ntheir eyes to the reality of Third\nWorld poverty and injustice.\n\"The church is much stronger in\nthe Third World nations.

We have\nto be able to say that it's not good\nenough to sit in our middle-class\ncomfort and satisfy ourselves with\nband-aid solutions.\"\nDavison said this human rights\ndebate extends to issues like\nNoranda's investments in Chile.\n\"Some people believe that the\nchurch has no right raising such\nissues, but there is no one Christian\nposition,\" he said.\nFrom page 1\nexceeded its. expenditures and left\nstudents without payments.\n\"We had so much difficulty.

I think this is a healthy\nthing,\" Davison said.\n\"People have to be prepared to\nface issues of human rights. The\nchurch must be identified with the\npoor and oppressed, especially in\nthe Third World countries.\"\nHe said the church considers\noverseas investment policies important, especially because the\nWorld Council of Churches has\ngranted money to the South-West\nAfrica People's Organization.\n\"The church has been criticized\nabout this matter. People have said\nthe church has been naive believing\nthat the money went to health care\nfacilities,\" Davison said.\nBy GLEN SCHAEFER\nRock concerts will be held\nregularly on the UBC campus if the\nAlma Mater Society can develop a\nstandardized handling procedure,\nAMS financial director Glen Wong\nsaid.\n\"If students want these concerts\nwe (the AMS) can handle them,\" he\nsaid Wednesday.\nAny promoter wishing to stage a\nconcert at the War Memorial Gym\nwill have to contact the AMS\nprograms committee. The AMS will\nthen \"sub-contract\" the concerts to\ngroups on campus who want to\nsponsor them, said Wong.\nThe AMS will coordinate the\nconcerts and be the link between the\npromoters and the campus groups\nto avoid \"internal squabbling\"\namongst organizations on campus,\nhe said.\nA dispute arose last week between the students administrative\ncouncil, the rugby club and the\nengineering undergraduate society\nover who would sponsor the Burton\nCummings concert at UBC.\nThe EUS has since received SAC\napproval to sponsor the concert.\n\"It seems pretty straightforward\nnow,\" said EUS president Brian\nShort. He said the engineers are\ninterested in sponsoring more\nconcerts, possibly in cooperation\nwith the rugby club.\nShort said he will be meeting with\nthe AMS programs committee, Isle\nof Man productions and\nrepresentatives of the rugby club\ntoday to discuss future UBC\nconcerts.\nWong said the AMS should have\nsome control over student sponsored functions at UBC, because\nthe AMS assumes most of the risks.\n\"If something happened at one\nof the concerts and someone sued,\nthe AMS would be the one to get\nsued.\"\nWong said all the paperwork for\nconcerts and all dealings with\npromoters should be handled by the\nAMS to stabilize relations with the\npromoters.\n\"Promoters can be slippery,\" he\nadded.\nEd Mint of Isle of Man\nproductions agreed.\n\"If word gets out that concerts\ncan be held at UBC, the AMS will\nbe flooded with fly-by-night\noperators,\" he said.\nMint said Isle of Man is interested in producing concerts at\nthe War Memorial Gym if the AMS\ncan work out a formula to speed up\ntheir decision making process.\nHe said UBC has not had any\nmajor concerts for the past few\nyears because of a lack of\norganization on the part of the\nAMS. Mint said he would like to\nproduce two or three concerts per\nterm at UBC, and Isle of Man\nwants \"right of first refusal\" with\nthe AMS for UBC concerts.\n\"We have a repertoire of about\n40 major acts and we could bring\nsome very fine artists out (to\nUBQ,\" he said.\nStudents will pay $6.50 per ticket\nand will be able to buy two tickets\neach upon presentation of their\nAMS library card.\nMP hits secrets\nBy GEOF WHEELWRIGHT\nIt's no secret the federal Liberal\ngovernment will not make major\nchanges in the Official Secrets Act,\na Progressive Conservative MP said\nMonday.\nGed Baldwin (PC-Peace River)\nsaid changes will be slow because of\nthe arrogance and insensitivity of\nPierre Trudeau's cabinet.\nThe government's proposals for\nincreasing freedom of information\nwill be ineffective, Baldwin told 30\npeople in the Law building.\n\"I'm sure it will be a lousy bill,\nwith loopholes so big you could\ndrive a caterpillar tractor through,\"\nhe said.\nBaldwin said the government has\nno intention of changing the act.\nThe exemptions in the current act\nare so broad a cabinet minister can\neasily withhold information and be\nlegally immune to prosecution, he\nsaid.\nBaldwin said ministers can file a\nnon-appealable certificate to\nprevent the release of information\nto the general public.\nThe government does not seem to\nsee any need to allow the public\nfreedom of information, he added.\nTrudeau and a few ministers are\nthe only MPs who do not actively\nsupport freedom of information,\nsaid Baldwin.\nNew wave can solve energy crises\nIf the power generated through waves can be low tide,\nharnessed, the world will never have to face another The stored energy is then used to drive large tur-\nenergy crisis, a UBC professor said Wednesday. bines.\n\"Power from the ocean should ideally be clean, But the huge costs of developing potential ocean\npowerful and safe,\" Paul Leblond of the physics and energy might make the projects economically un-\noceanography departments said. feasible.\nUngava Bay in Quebec and the Minas Basin and Leblond also said this resource development can\nChignecto Basin in Nova Scotia are prime sites for create a detrimental environmental effect,\nconstruction of tidal generating installations, he said. \"By constructing tidal barriers in one location, tides\nLeblond said tidal power is based on the principle of in another area may be effected.\"\nharnessing potential energy in tides by building He said the relationship between the environment\nbarriers across areas which experience high tidal and tidal generating installations is not yet fully un-\n^amplitude, which is the difference between high and derstood by ecologists and oceanographers. ~\nBaldwin said the reason for this\nlack of support is that governments\nfeel they will be embarrassed by\ninformation that in some cases may\nshow their actions to be incompetent.\nBaldwin said people have been\nseriously affected by the rash of\nscandals and political corruption in\nthis decade.\n\"At the present time there is a\nfeeling of cynicism and mistrust,\"\nhe said.\n\"If we are going to have honesty,\nwe've got to have freedom of information,\" he added.\nHe said the Tories have their own\nfreedom of information bill which\nis supported by 50 organizations,\nincluding the Canadian Labor\nCongress, Canadian Management\nAssociation,, and the Canadian\nDaily Newspapers Association.\nThese groups represent a total of\nthree million people, he said.\nBaldwin also spoke about the\nPeter Treu case as an example of a\ncourt case involving freedom of\ninformation.\n\"What happened to Peter Treu\nshouldn't happen to anybody,\" he\nsaid.\nTreu was communications expert\nworking on a project for the North\nAtlantic Treaty Organization when\nhis company dropped the project\nand Treu was asked to take it over,\nsaid Baldwin.\nThe mistake the Canadian\ngovernment and NATO made was\nin not clearing Treu through\nsecurity or debriefing him on the\nsecrecy of the project, added\nBaldwin.\nBaldwin said the government\nmight have been looking for a\nscapegoat for a $4.5 million investigation ot tne project. Treu was\nused to justify the expense, he said.\nTreu was tried in secret and\nsentenced to a two and a half year\nsentence, said Baldwin. He said\nTreu was the victim of government\nbumbling and stupidity. Pagt 4\nTHE UBYSSEY\nThursday, October 5, 1978\nNever to\nbe forgot\nIn an age of the jaded and self-satisfied, how is it\nthat a man can stand out in a community of 30,000?\nWalter Harry Gage was a selfless man, one who\nhad wide interests, but could still concentrate his\nenergies within a UBC career. He was one whose\nwork life was his whole life, a life in which although\nhe filled the roles of student, teacher and administrator, he always felt himself first a teacher.\nHe was full of cheer, but a patient man, even in\nhis last year, during which he suffered greatly from\nthe ravages of cancer.\nHis life was one of continuous involvement in\nuniversity affairs, but involvement at the base of the\npyramid, even when he reached the top at UBC.\nHe understood students' dreams and he tried to\nhelp.\nAnd his love of teaching lit up his lectures. When\nhe stepped down from the administration presidency in 1975, he wanted to continue to teach and to\nhelp in any way possible on the campus.\nEven while in the hospital he continued his social\nlife, receiving guests for as long as he could.\nHe showed, through his works, that one can give\none's best. He probably smiled as he marked those\ncountless Math 100 exams, as he followed the progress of those who would take his place. In this way\nhe instilled a little of himself into each of those he\nadvised and taught.\nAs the university has grown to many times its\nsize since he first entered the Fairview campus in\n1921, its development has been guided to such a\ndegree by Walter Gage, that his legacy will continue to influence UBC for years.\nCouncil slams federal cutbacks\nThis perspectives article is an\nopen letter to Bud Cullen, federal\nminister of employment and immigration from CP. Neale, general\nsecretary-treasurer of the Vancouver and District Labor Council.\nThe Vancouver and District Labour\nCouncil is dismayed with nearly all\nof the federal government's!\nproposed cutbacks in a time of\nextremely high unemployment\nacross the width and breadth of our\ncountry. They can only result in the\nloss of \"thousands more jobs and a\ncorresponding reduction in the\npurchasing power of the working\npeople of this country, which will,\nf By CP. NEALE \")\nof course, create more unemployment in the manufacturing\nsection of industry.\nWe are even more dismayed to\nlearn of the proposed changes in the\nUnemployment Insurance Act. We\nfeel that your government, in a\nblatant attempt at re-election, is\nprepared to attack the unemployed\nin Canada by a cynical appeal to the\nrednecks in this country.\nWe are convinced that the past\npolicies of your government are\nprimarily responsible for the fact\nthat we now have, according to our\nVander Zaim is taking\nthe opposite approach\nby attempting to drive\nthe native Indians back\nto their reservations.\ninformation, well over one million\nunemployed, and that your\nproposed amendments are an attack on the unemployed, instead of\nan attack on the problem of\nunemployment.\nYour plan is, obviously, to cut as\nmany people off benefits as\npossible, and to use the $700\nmillion to $800 million saved to\ncreate jobs under government\nauspices, at the minimum wage\nTHE UBYSSEY\nOCTOBER 5, 1978\nPublished Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays throughout the\nuniversity year by the Alma Mater Society of the University of\nB.C.

The unemployed would then\nbe forced to accept these starvation\nwages or apply for social welfare,\nwhich is partially funded by the\nprovincial and municipal governments, thus reducing the financial\noutlay of the federal government in\nthis area.\nI would like to point out that our\nprovincial minister of human\nresources, Mr. William Vander\nZalm, is taking the opposite approach by attempting to drive the\nnative Indians in Vancouver back\nto their reservations, so they will be\nremoved from the partially-funded\nsocial welfare rolls, and the total\ncost of their maintenance would\nrevert to the federal government.\nHe has also refused welfare\npayments to indigents living near\nagricultural land, unless they accept\nemployment picking fruit, or\nvegetables, at wages well below the\npoverty level.\nThe government in a\nblatant attempt at\nre-election, is prepared\nto attack the\nunemployed by a\ncynical appeal to the\nrednecks.\nThe unemployed are now being\nsqueezed between your desire to\nappear concerned about saving the\ntaxpayers' money and the\nprovincial minister's desire to show\na surplus in his department. We are\npositive that if you are both successful in your efforts, you are\nsowing the seeds of the whirlwind\nyou so rightfully deserve to reap.\nIf the information we have\nreceived is correct, the proposed\nchanges aimed at making it more\ndifficult to qualify for benefits will\nresult in 263,000 applicants being\nrefused in the first year, forcing\nthem to apply for social assistance,\nwhich, in the main, is considerably\nless than unemployment insurance\nbenefits. This, again, will reduce\ntheir purchasing power, and, again,\nhelp to increase the unemployment\nrolls.\nYour plan is to cut\nas many people off\nbenefits as possible.\nProbably the most callous, and in\nour opinion, most absurd proposal\nis to cut benefits from 66 2/3 per\ncent to 60 per cent, which amounts\nto a 10 per cent cut in purchasing\npower.\nAny Canadian on unemployment\ninsurance or social welfare must, by\nnecessity, spend all his income on\nthe bare essentials, and cannot save\nany of it.\nIt does not take an economist to\nrealize that deleting 10 per cent of\nfour billion dollars (the average\ntotal payout of unemployment\ninsurance benefits), for a total of\n$400 million dollars from the\npurchasing power of working\npeople, can do nothing but increase\nunemployment in Canada.\nThe Vancouver and District\nLabour Council would request you\nto urge the cabinet to reconsider the\nproposed cutbacks and get on with\nthe job for which they were elected,\nYou are sowing the\nseeds of the whirlwind\nyou deserve to reap.\nnamely, attacking inflation and\ncreating employment for the\nunemployed, rather than using\nthem as sacrificial lambs in your\ncynical lust to retain power.\nperspectives\n_.AH> AfTER HE WENT ON ABOUT HOW\nHE WAS GOING- TO CREATE MORE JOBS,\nFIWfT INFLATION, STRENGTHEN INTERNATIONAL\nTRAINS- ANJv REWE PA1MENT IMBALANCES..\nHE TRIEi> TO WALK ACROSS THE\nOTTAWA RIVER.... (Thursday, October 5, 1978\nTHE UBYSSEY\nPage 5\nIs student leadership black hole\nStudent leadership at UBC is a black hole\nwhich swallows up aspiring young do-\ngooders and perspiring young glory seekers\nand spits out people who have little to be\nremembered by other than occasional\nnotoriety.\nThe amount of time wasted by student\nadministration on procedural disagreements\nand petty personal grievances is astonishing.\nIn the meantime relevant issues languish\nindefinitely and end up being resolved by\nineffective compromises which neither please\nnor satisfy anybody.\nc\nBy\nKEVIN MCGEE\n)\nThis is a result of over-zealousness on two\nsides. The conservative element of the\nstudent representatives see themselves as\nwatchdogs protecting Alma Mater Society\nmoney and maintaining smooth relations\nwith the administration. As a consequence\nthey are hesitant to move on an issue with the\nresult that little happens.\nOn the other side we have the crusaders.\nLeaning towards the left, they watch as their\ngrandiose plans get bogged down by the\nwatchdogs. In a sense they have no one but\nthemselves to blame for this, as their impatience with their conservative members\noften comes across as not so subtle condescension. This us-against-them attitude is\nthe greatest stumbling block in the way of\nresponsible decision-making.\nfreestyle\nIt is rare that student representatives come\nalong who are more relaxed and less rigid in\ntheir views. Unfortunately people who fit\nthat mold are the only ones who can break\nthe existing polarity and start students\nworking together instead of competing.\nWhat is really needed in the AMS is a sane\nsense of what its priorities should be.\nInstead we see a constitutional battle on\nthe horizon. One controversial new constitution is presently being debated and yet\nanother new constitution is being drafted by\nfour past and present student representative\nassembly presidents.\nWith any luck this bureaucratic bunk will\nbe resolved by Christmas and we can get on\nwith important issues.\nReports have come back to this office about\nnumerous complaints against The Ubyssey aired at the\nrecent leadership conference in Camp Elphinstone.\nOne of these was that the paper was too concerned\nwith world affairs and ignored campus events.\nBy JEFF RANKIN\nApparently one person went so far as to hold up a\ncopy of the paper, point to an article on Tanzania and\nsay something to the effect of \"who the hell cares what\nhappens in Tanzania, anyways!\"\nRight. Who does care what's going on in Tanzania,\nor Rhodesia, or South Africa, or even Quebec for that\nmatter! Never mind all this politics and human rights\nbullshit, I want to know who won the fifth annual commerce egg and spoon race!\nWhat does The Ubyssey think this university is,\nsome kind of centre for concern over human rights?\nHow passe!\nIt's time we took a tip from People magazine and\nThe National Enquirer, and started writing about what\nreally matters! All of the criticism we have been getting\nis well deserved, never mind that The Ubyssey is one of\nthe most, if not the most respected and widely read\nuniversity papers in Canada. The Elphinstone delegates\nshould know better.\nLetters\n^v\nWho won egg and spoon race\nShort's constitution welcome, SRA irrelevant\nAfter reading the article by Glen\nSchaefer in Tuesday's Ubyssey and\nfollowing the comments made by\nMr. Dave van Blarcom, I feel that it\nis time to say something in defence\nof the constitutional proposals put\nforward by the professional\nfaculties.\nAs a student senator who has sat\nthrough many tedious and childish\nstudent representative assembly\nmeetings, I welcome Brian Short's\nproposals with heartfelt thanks. I\nran as a student senator because I\nwas interested in representing my\nfaculty on the senate and I wanted\nto work with other faculties in\nhandling the affairs of the\nuniversity which concern both my\nfaculty and students at large.\nI have found that most of the\nSRA meetings which I was required\nNo thanks, John\nJohn Waler's letter in the\nTuesday Ubyssey ignores at least\nthree relevant points:\nThe irony that an organization\nalleged (or actuallly) involved in\nanti-left-wing activities has paid\nThe Ubyssey to run an advertisement for them. The student\npaper in turn is using its advertising\nrevenue to help legitimize many of\nthose same left-wing groups\nthrough numerous (if often trivial)\narticles supportive of them.\n2. Freedom of speech. Does John\nseriously suggest that the RCMP\nshould have any less right to express\nthemselves (re. advertise) than\nanyone else? What is needed is\nmore communication, not less, so\nthat our government agencies do\nnot become even more isolated\nfrom the people.\n3.

Mr. Short's proposal would\nallow me to spend more time\nworking on senate where my interest and involvement truly should\nlie.\nIn addition I think that Mr. van\nBlarcom is misguided in believing\nthat the proposal will lead to an\n\"executive clique\". I feel that this\nsituation already exists, as the real\npower of the SRA belongs to a\nhandful of arts, science and law\nstudents. By having the presidents\nof the undergraduate societies form\na student council, the Alma Mater\nSociety will be stripped of the petty\nundergraduate society power\nstruggles which do exist.\nI believe that by increasing the\nstudent representation of the larger\nDESSERT PARTY\nLUTHERAN CAMPUS CENTRE\nTHURSDAY, OCTOBER 5, 7:30 P.M.\nBERNICE GERARD\nGUEST: ALDERMAN, CJOR OPEN-LINER\nSPONSOR-CHARISMATIC CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP\n879-4085 266-7607\nfaculties, democracy in the AMS\nwill be effectively destroyed.

This kind of thing had\nto be done without his knowledge.\"\nWriting on behalf of the faculty\nassociation, professor emeritus Roy\nDaniells, who knew Walter Gage\nfor 50 years, says, \"His peculiar\ngift to this university lay in his\ndemonstrating the possibility of a\nlife of ceaseless inquiry and activity, utterly divorced from personal ambition or self-seeking; a\nkeen critical sense devoid of all\nharshness of judgment; an\nawareness of individual and institutional faults and limitations\nwhich was never allowed to impair\nhis buoyant cheerfulness of spirit.\"\nEngineering undergraduate\nsociety president Brian Short\nrecalled visiting Prof. Gage in\nhospital this summer.\n\"Throughout the summer and\ninto the fall he always wanted to see\npeople,\" Short, himself a former\nMath 350 student, said. \"He was\nalways cheerful. He was a hell of an\ninspiration to me this summer.\n\"For the last couple of months\nthere was often a line-up to see him\n(in the hospital).\"'\nHis Math 100 classes were always\nfull at registration and he had a\nremarkable memory for names.\n\"He'd remember that your father\nwas in his class 20 years before,\"\nsays Short.\nIn the hospital he didn't give up\nhis interest in music, but kept a\ncassette deck by his bed.\n\"What struck everyone, was not\nonly his courage, but also his\npatience and good humor,\" said\nRobbins.\nAs a first-year student in 1921,\nWalter Gage entered UBC, which\nwas then located where the Vancouver General Hospital currently\nstands. After receiving a B.A. and\nM.A. in mathematics, he started to\nteach at Victoria College, the\nforerunner of the University of\nVictoria, which was then affiliated\nwith UBC. He was also the\nregistrar, bursar and financial aid\nofficer there.\nReturning to UBC as an assistant\nprofessor in 1933, he began his long\nteaching career at UBC. He was a\nfavorite with engineers, to whom he\nlectured in Math 350, complex\nvariables and application, until this\nMarch.
