R. Peterson\nBrief rejects fees;\nasks living allowance\nBy TOM MORRIS\nUbyssey Ass't. City Editor\nThe B.C. Association of Students released\na brief Wednesday addressed to education\nminister Leslie Peterson, demanding new\npolicies and new action on post-secondary\neducation.\nThe demands included equalization\ngrants, progressive elimination of tuition\nfees, an independent grants commission,\nand student participation in university government.\nThe brief asks for equalization grants\nto cover the travel expenses and extra living costs for out-of-town students attend\ning university in an urban area.\nIt suggests that they be issued to students beyond a 40 mile radius from an urban university center. These students would\nreceive a maximum of $600.\nIt cited the fact that it costs rural students $600 to $700 annualy while the student\nin town pays about $200.\nA student living in a town in which a\npost-secondary course is offered other than\nthat which the student wishes to take would\nnot be eligible.\n(To Page 2)\n(SEE: COST OF)\nNEW COMMISSION TOO\nMac asks doubled grant\nDouble aid for universities and an independent grants commission were urged\nby UBC president John Macdonald Monday.\nThe provincial government will be guilty\nof dereliction of duty if it doesn't double\ngrants to B.C. universities this year, said\nMacdonald.\nHe insisted that these funds be distributed by a new, strong, independent university finance commission.\n\"The current year's university budget\nfor the province ($33 million) must grow to\n$66 million for the next year,\" Macdonald\nsaid.\nHe claimed this year's budget, coming\nup in March, will be critical for B.C. universities.\nIn an interview Monday, Macdonald explained why the three universities want\ntwice as much money for the 1967-68 fiscal\nyear.\nProvincial government grants to uni-\n(To Page 6)\n(SEE: UNIVERSITIES) Page 2\nTHE UBYSSEY\nThursday, January 19, 1967\nCost of university living\nexceeds summer income\n(From Page 1)\nBut if a student is already\ncommitted to a course which\nhe cannot receive locally, he\nwould be eligible for the rent.\nThe student in the first\ncase would receive a portion\nof his grant, probably 50\nper cent.\nThe report points to the gap\nbetween summer earnings and\nthe costs of attending university.\nIt states scholarships and\nbursaries are not substantial\nenough to fill the gap, as they\nare very small in B.C.\nTuition fees make up about\n25 to 30 per cent of the student's expenditures, says the\nbrief.\nTherefore, it asks for a gradual abolition of fees over a\nfive-year period. This abolition would begin with the\nfirst-year student.\nConsidering the environment and encouragement factors involved in the first-year\nstudent's decision to attend\nuniversity, the BCAS recommends the abolition of fees\nimmediately for the first-year\nstudent.\nThe brief refers to UBC\npresident John Macdonald's\nstatements concerning the\nneed or an independent grants\ncommission to distribute funds\nto the three universities.\nThe role of the commission\nwould be to appraise the aims\nand needs of the individual\npost-secondary institutions.\nIt would also decide on the\ninancial needs of these institutions and distribute the\nfunds the government assigned.\nThe group would be composed of representatives from\nuniversities, businesses, and\ngovernment.\nAt the present time the commission is government-controlled and plays a small role\nin university finance.\nThe BCAS also demands increased student participation\nin university government.\nStudents would be elected,\nby the power of an amended\nuniversities act, to the senate\nby direct student vote.\nThese student representatives would be completely independent from student council control\nAlso a voting member from\nthe students and from faculty\nare suggested for the board of\ngovernors. These would also\nbe elected by the student\nbodies and faculty association\nrespectively, and would be\ncompletely independent of the\nstudent council and the faculty association.\nThe brief also said that provincial expenditure on education in 1966 is the lowest since\n1961.\nIt also names B.C. as the\nprovince with the highest university fees of the four western provinces.\nScience capsule 1967\nfor future reference\nThe Science Undergraduate\nSociety Wednesday packed a\nstack of UBC artifacts into a\ncapsule and lowered them\ninto the ground \u00E2\u0080\u0094 and the\nfuture.\nA time capsule, containing\nstatements by UBC president\nJohn Macdonald and B.C.\npremier W.

This will amount to $27 million.\nBut this amount is unconditionally given\nto the provinces and there is no guarantee\nthat it will go to education.\nIn addition, the Bladen Commission,\nwhich two years ago recommended an in-\n; crease in federal grants to the provinces\n\"< for higher education from two dollars to\n; five dolars per capita, recommended this\nshould be raised by one dollar per capita\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 per year.\nSo for 1967-68 it should be seven dollars\nper capita or an additional $3.6 million in\nB.C.\nLast year the provincial government increased its grants for university education\nby $6.5 million.\n'It should be at least this much again\nwhich would add $6.5 million to the other\nfigures, and bring the total for the coming\nyear's university education budget to $66.1\nmillion,\" said Macdonald.\n\"This $66 million isn't just a pipe-dream.\nIt is what this province's universities must\nhave to do their job properly,\" he said.\n\"Any lower level of support will handicap them in meeting rising operating and\nbuilding costs, in eliminating present defi-\nciences, and in getting additional buildings\nand faculty to cope with the enrolment explosion.\"\n(Macdonald predicts UBC will add about\n500 students to its present enrolment next\nSeptember.)\nHe noted that UBC received $872 per\nstudent from the province last year compared to University of Victoria's grant of\n$1,464 and Simon Fraser Academy's grant\nof $1,608.\n\"It might be that differences in the\namount of grants should exist tout the continuing cost of the UBC graduate school\nfar out-weigh expenses of the other two\nuniversities in getting established,\" he said.\nAlberta's grant is $1,600 per student\nand 10 Ontario universities have agreed on\nS 1.440 per student.\nSTUDENTS!\nFULL RANGE OF STUDY MASTER\nNOTES NOW AVAILABLE\nOPEN DAILY\nFrom 10 a.m.\nto MIDNIGHT\n(Noon-to Midnight Sunday);\nOot-of-towners: |\nSend for\ncatalogue.\nTel.
