XLI VANCOUVER, B.C., THURSDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1958 No. 6 UBC Urges NFCUS Members Support Quebec Position The University of B.C. has urged all members of NFCUS to voice disapproval of present provincial policy governing university financing in Quebec. In a motion passed unanimously at the student council meeting Monday, the AMS gave its full support to Quebec students in "their efforts to achieve a sound financial basis for their university education." Students May See Fee Hike President N. A. M. MacKenzie hinted Wednesday that a fee increase will soon lace UBC students.

Last year 73 per cent of the objective was reached. Officials hope this year's response will exceed that amount. Charm Appeal Shocks UBC "Let me tell you, UBC co-eds need a charm school like fashion editors need marriage counsellors," stated one enraged UBC student, Wednesday. Tiie comment was prompted Tween Classes by an article which appeared on the front page of a down town paper Tuesday. Written by a well-known fashion editor, the article stated lhat UBC coeds were poorly dressed. "Maybe what UBC needs is a good practical charm course for the co-eds. It will get them a lot farther in life than a working knowledge of nuclear fission," maintained the story. The article asked, "where, oh where are the sweet co-eds like a rainbow that the Sigma Chi boys sing about?" The sweet coeds of Sigma Chi's song have come down from the rainbow to decry all forms of fashion training on campus. "If a girl's goal in life is only to obtain a husband then a charm course is useful," said Dick Fraser, Arts 3. "But she doesn't need one to get an education," he added. "Brilliant women who make a success of life don't need to worry about charm or dress," according to Richard Moir, Arts 2. "I think the girls at UBC dress sensibly, so a charm course for them isn't necessary!" said Bob Humphrey, Arts 2. "I agree that what a girl needs is charm and poise. It's much more essential to her than knowledge of science and math," smirked Carl Ramjit, Eng. 3.

We find ourselves in the unusual "but pleasant position •'of being a'ble to congratulate the Students' Council. The bouquets are for Council's decision Monday to support those Quebec universities which are struggling to ' detain their autonomy. It has been made painfully evident to these universities ttiat they will have to toe the line set doWn by the provincial government in Quebec or else forfeit any chance of getting financial assistance from that government. And that government won't allow its pr6vinces' universities to accept grants from the federal government. This sort of thing has been going on in Quebec for some time. That is why the students at some Quebec universities went on strike last spring. And it is why they need our support and the support of NFCUS now. If the member universities of NFCUS can pull together and save the autonomy of Quebec's universities, NFCUS will have justified its existence. Up until now, NFCUS has been more of a nuisance than it was worth. This year is the first year its membership has been anywhere near representative. However, NFCUS will not be a national federation until it embraces the major universities of Quebec. If a united NFCUS can brim: enough pressure to bear en the provincial government of Quebec to insure the independence of the beleaguered universities there, those universities may well decid it is worth thir while to join and support NFCUS. Otherwise, those universities will be lost to NFCUS forever — there will be no point in their becoming members. UBC's Student Council has taken the lead in urging NFCUS members to support the Quebec universities. In doing so, not bhly have the breathed a spark cf life into NFCUS, but also they have shown that the issue of student autonomy is of primary concern to them. Congratulations. We're Happy Tuesday we took issue with the jumbled arrangements made for Dr. Rhys Carpenter's lecture last Friday. We asked for an explanation. We got two explanations: one from the faculty, and one from the Students' Council The faculty explained why the lecture had been removed from the Gym at the last minute. Their explanation is too lengthy and complicated to put in writing, but we assure you it is reasonable. The students' council explained why the lecture had been removed from the Auditorium at the last minute. It is reprinted elsewhere on this page. We are told that Professor Carpenter is happ with the response tu his talk in spite of the confusion that .surrounded it. So everything appears to have turned out all right in the end, We're happy. We just wonder whether any explanations would have been given had, we not said anything. Universities Need UBC's Support (Ed. Note: —• NFCUS President *Walter TarnOpolsky has written to AMS President Charlie Connaghan Requesting UBC's support for certain Quebec universities in their struggle for financial assistance). The letter butlihes difficulties etictiuh'tered by the universities in dealing with the provincial government in Quebec. Here is the text: ''Regarding the 'situation in the province of Quebec, it has been Corh'plicated for many years. Until this year, McGill and the UniVersite' de Montreal have been out of NFCUS. About two years ago, the UniVersite' de Montreal led a rriovement to set up a Separate French speaking student union — Association Canadienne des Universitcs de Langue Fran- caise. Several of the universities joined, including the Uni- versite' d'Ottawa, which was also a member of NFCUS. Fortunately for us, the UniVersite' Laval was opposed to this separation and the movement, though still existing, has now pretty well lapsed. Then, last year, faced with Duplessis' refusal to receive their brfef on bursaries, the presidents of the six universities of Quebec: Laval, Montreal Sherbrooke, McGill, Sir George Williams, and Bishop's (three Feverish Apology Editor, The Ubyssey, Dear Sir: After reading your editorial of September 30, regarding the confusion which occurred last Friday, I felt that, indeed, "the least somebody could do now would be to offer an explanation and an apology to those students who missed congregation and symposium events because these events were not properly publicized." I must confess that in the confusion of the Frosh Orientation Program, I had overlooked informing the Players' Club that Friday noon would not be a suitable time for "Her Sciencemen Lover" as had been previously planned. Early Friday morning when we heard of the last minute change in Symposium plans which would have Dr. Carpenter speak in the Auditorium rather than the Gymnasium, a minor panic ensued, when we realized my boob! An emergency publicity campaign was set up, advertising Dr, Carpenter at noon in Arts 100. As events turned out, a very favorable gathering turned up at Arts 100 to hear a most worthy presentation. For those academians who turned up at the Auditorium to hear Dr. Carpenter, signs were displayed, giving information as to where to find the meeting. I don't think anyone actually expected Rhys Carpenter to appear in the play! Further, I cannot share the Ubyssey's belief that the apparent "pro- French, three English) formed a Six Presidents' Association, Which conducted their campaign and strike. I attended nearly all of their meetings as an observer. My position was difficult at first because McGill, Montreal, and Sherbrooke' we're not members of NFCUS. Therefore, I discussed and suggested but did not participate officially. Now, all but Sherbrooke are rrtetribers. Therefore, I have suggested'that their Six Presidents' ASSbciation is nearly ' identical With 'bur Quebec Region of NFCUS. We have been hoping to give Considerable autonomy to Our regions,1 and Within this framework they could carry out those activities which are Unique to their province Wfthin their regional organization, and cooperate With'everyone on the natibnal matters. It seems that this proposal will be acceptable, but I will not know until the Congress. Another matter has arisen, which is that Duplessis being the clever demagogue that he is, and realizing that the student strike last spring was quite successful, and that pressure was mounting, has caused an organization to be formed called the Ligue d'Action Uni- versit'aire. This is composed of young men who are active in the found mismanagement" was a direct insult to Dr. Carpenter. I don't think a larger or more interested crowd would have been present in the Auditorium in any event. I'm certain that both events went off very well, despite the last minute changes. I do however appreciate the awkward position in which the editor found himself. I must say that the front page Friday was a little difficult to follow, with announcements contradicting each other. I think everyone realized that such happenings were in no way the fault of the newspaper. Before the issue goes any further, then, I should like to assume responsibility for the untimely showing of the "Science- man Lover," and offer my apologies to you, Mr. Editor, and to all those in "responsible" positions whose shirt collars wilted last Friday morning on hearing of the embarrassing situation. Yours respectfully, GEORGE FEAVER, Chairman, Orientation Committee Thanks Editor, The Ubyssey, Dear Sir: As a regular critic of The Ubyssey, I wish to convey to you my congratulations for the superb manner in which you supported the Academic Sym- Uiiibn Nationale Party. They ^ "presented their Own brief to Duplessis this Sumrher, and he inVited them to cOrtie to see , him. Thfey went and he announced an increase in bursaries. This Gtdvtp how has about S00 mertibers and are out to wsteck the Student CdUncils in Quebec. They are trying, e.g. to set up a separate Students' Council at the1 UniVersite' de Montreal ' •and thfeir own paper. They are holdlhg a congress to which everyone is invited FREE. On top of all this, two student paper editors have been asked by their Universities not* to return this fall. Each failed one subject, and that's the excuse. I still haven't all the infor- htatibn I need, but will have it for the Congress. All this boils down to the fact that I believe the universities of Quebec need our support as never before. If they continue their separa- „ tion, they won't get it; if they show willingness to co-operate with us, we'll have to give them support. Well, this is very sketchy, but I hope to fill in details when you come. My best until I see you, Sincerely, I WALTER TARNOPOLSKY, NFCUS President. posium and the Special Congregations last week. In particular, I thank you and your staff most warmly for the assistance that you rendered at a late hour Thursday night (in fact, it was Friday morning), when the site of Professor Carpenter's lecture had to be changed; the members of your staff on duty at the printers not only made the necessary changes on the front page, but did so willingly and cheerfully and efficiently. I feel much indebted to them. While it is true that attendance by students at certain of the exercises of the Week Was disappdinting, no fault can be charged to The Ubyssey.

Thursday, Octqber % 1958 THE UBYSSEY PA$E XHREE SPUTNIK'S ANNIVERSARY How Has Sputnik Affected Us? Scientists Questioned Concerning Answers By MARY WILKINS and MADELINE BRONSDON l" On October 4, 1957, Russia astounded the world by launching Sputnik I, the first earth satellite. Sptunik I was followed in November by Sputnik II, or Mut- nik. The United States, after frenzied activity launched their first -•satellite, Explorer I, on January 31, 1958. Since that time, both countries have successfully put into orbit bigger and better satellites, and have also made considerable advances vvith intercontinental ballistic missiles. As the first anniversary of the launching of Sputnik I approaches,, these questions arise: "How1 has Sputnik affected * our attitude towards science, the humanities, and education. "What changes have taken place during the past year in these fields, which might be directly attributable to Sputnik?" At least three answers seem to be evident: 1. There has been a definite - increase of interest in scientific fields. 2. There has been a reassessment of our educational aim and methods. 3. There has been a question of some of the basic philosophies of our society. Of the seven professors questioned, only one ventured to out- rightly contradict the first of these opinions. Dr. Kaempffer, physics department: "Anyone who says we are living in an Age of Science is talking through his hat. True enough, students have been forced to appreciate Newton's law of mechanics because of Sputnik, but all I have seen so far is a decline of interest in science, as shown by ihe enrollment of general arts students in science courses." On the other hand, Professor Lipson of the Civil Engineering Department staled he felt that the most obvious effect of Sputnik, was tiie fact that more people were talking about science and that this has given an impetus to science. Dr, J. B. Brown of the Phys ics Department pointed out that Scientists were beginning to be aware of Russia's capabilities in the field of Science long before the appearance, but that Sputnik impressed this upon the public. "The most important result of Sputnik is that it has made everyone more interested in Education," said Dean Scarfe, Dean of UBC's Faculty of Education. He declared he felt that it was the Russian attitude toward science and education which allowed themto launch a satellite first. "They put education on a pedestal," he said. However, we should not adopt Russia's system of education, but rather we should place a greater emphasis on the value of education, and our society should give more valuable rewards to those who are educated, he said. Dean Scarfe also thought lhat there seemed to be a tight* ening up of attitude to education on the part of sudents ihis year. "There is a more businesslike outlook—a determined efficient attitude—a desire to get right down to work." The influence of Sputnik on education was expressed also by Dr. Brown, "Sputnik," he stated, "may have helped to make academic achievement a little more respectable in high schools. Although most scientists realize that solid academic achievement generally should be respected, students, particularly in high schools, often come to regard someone interested in the scientific field to be somewhat of a 'square'." Professor G. Davies, an assistant to the President, and a member of the History Department, echoed the general feeling that Sputnik had resulted in a fresh assessment of our educational aims and methods, and had brought a new discipline to education and a new respect for literary endeavour. THE CAUSE OF ALL THE FUROR — Sputnik I, launched on October 4, 1957, this first earth satellite weighed 185 pounds, went around the earth in 96 minutes at a speed of 13,000 miles per hour. It was 560 miles above the earth's surface and stayed in orbit for two months. He pointed out that one of the causes of Russia's scientific achievements was ihe deliberate use of education as a weapon, of the Russian state, to develop and harness human talent to the service of the state. Democracies cannot use such methods, but a challenge is posed to them in that they are made aware that no nation that neglects its human resources can hope to prosper against one which do.esn't. And what of the humanities in this surge of scientific endeavour? Dean Scarfe's opinion was that the reinforcement of science has made the Humanities "look lo their laurels," so that they won't be swallowed up or forgotten. Dr, Brown said, "Scientists realize that our civilization cannot be measured simply by the number of grapefruits in orbit; French, English and History are still as important as ever." Once again, Dr. Kaempffer differed: "I am in favor of Physics students appreciating humanity's heritage," he said, and continued "it would be nice if students in the Humanities would appreciate our Scientific heritage, which is an integral part of our Western civilization. The laws of Newton, in my opinion, are as valuable and important as are the plays of Shakespeare." The head of the Slavonics department, Dr. St. Claire Sobelle, said, "Sputnik's influence has been evident in that there has been a considerable increase in the study of the Russian language and, Slavonic studies in general, particularly by science students." There have been other results, some harmful: A blind faith in mechanical power; an unbalanced sense of proportion, and an attempt to sweep away our whole educational system in a panic reaction were three outlined by Professor Davies. Dean Soward, Head of the History Department, Dean of International Studies and Asian Studies, and Dean of Graduate Studies pointed out that Sputnik has increased the self confidence of Russia. They have become more arrogant in their attitude toward the west. Krushchek has even said to the West. "We will bury you," reported Dean Soward. The whole effect then, has been a questioning, a reassessment, and a great deal of soul searching on the part of public into the important aspects and ideals of our society. Ed Note.

The event is co-sponsored by the Special Events and Fine Arts committees). Marianne Moore is one of the most respected names in American letters. This venerable grand dame of poetry was born November 15, 1887, and has seen her art safely delivered through the various movements and fads of this century's poetry. A Bryn Mawr graduate, Miss Moore was first published in 1921, by the pirating activities of her friends. Three years later the modest Miss Moore received the Dial Magazine award for her service to American letters, and a year afterward became editor of that Magazine, a post the for mer teacher and librarian held until 1929, when the magazine, like so many other "little" publications succumbed to the depression. Marianne Moore's poetry is startling, witty, tender, unmusical, illustrative, and all at once. Her "Poetry" has her literary theory: in poetry of all places, even looked at with contempt, is "a place for the genuine." A poet should be a "liter- alist of the imagination" and produce "imaginary gardens with real toads in them." Poetry should not put a high- sounding interpretation on — "hands that can grasp", or "eyes that dilate." That is not their importance; they are important only because they are useful. Some of her poetry is geometrical in form, almost prose-like when read aloud: her many quo- Torture In Algeria A few scattered articles describing the real Algerian situation have appeared in our newspapers, but as is often the case, the frightening nature of the war is obscured by a welter of political speculation. At last a book has been written describing the French atrocities by a Frenchman who actually suffered the most cruel treatment at the hands of his own countrymen. "The Question" will undoubtedly be the most controversial book in France this year. The French government has seized any printed editions it could get its hands on, and banned any further attempts to publish it. For the first time since the eighteenth century, a book has been banned in France for political reasons. Henri Alleg edited the "Alger Republican," the only North African paper presenting the views of the Algerian nationalists. He was arrested in June, 1957, after having gone into hiding to escape a detention order. The book is the account of the French attempts to make him reveal the identity of his friends, during his subsequent four months in prison. "The Question" is a terrifying book. It closely parallels descriptions of the German concentration camps during the Second World War. Alleg describes in detail the laughter of his tormentors as pulses of electricity are driven through his body. His perpetual state of agony and exhaustion is relieved only by unconsciousness. Once, among the screams of the other prisoners, he believes he hears his wife crying. Fortunately, as he later learned, the woman was not his wife. Throughout the entire four months he told the French absolutely nothing. His courage in not informing on his friends is the only part of the book that carries any hope. To answer the question: "What does this book mean?" Jean- Paul Sartre has written a lengthy introduction. Sartre, the most influential writer in France today, recalls the disbelief with which the French viewed German cruelty during World War II. Now, within thirteen years, young men of France themselves committing the same crimes. Sartre is horrified to see young men of his country twisted into such an awful pattern — and rightly so. These facts take on a slightly different meaning to us than to Sartre, a Frenchman. As for myself, it has been a week since I read the book, and already Alley's descriptions have become hazy. 1 have noticed the same tendency in others who have read the book, They say, "Oh, it can't be as bad as all that," even though they had been quite convinced that Alleg had been telling the truth when they read it. This leads to the central theme of the book and to Sartre's contradiction, namely, that through our apathetic regard for political affairs, and our general euphoric dreaming, our own nation may be led swiftly to destruction. Indeed, Sartre himself would not have believed it of his own country thirteen years ago. In the light of this threat, what is actually happening in Algeria today is worthy of our examination, — BRUCE BUCKLEY tations are acknowledged by in- verted commas, emphasizing' not her eclecticism, but her ability to absorb and make these borrowed words her own. "A hybrid method of composition," she calls her style.

WATCH TUESDAY'S PAPER FOR MORE DETAILS 2431 Granville (at 9th) BA. 9333 Dear Sir: Current articles on art, lively discussions and criticisms centred on the Epstein "Christ" and the recent acquisition of paintings for Brock Hall point to an apparently widespread and enthusiastic interest in the visual arts on the campus. It is gratifying to know that the Ubyssey has people on its staff who are sufficiently interested in art news and exhibitions to write about them in a critical spirit. But how important is the nature of that critical spirit'.' Although the necessary ingredients for enjoying and evaluating art—interest and enthusiasm-—are most certainly in evidence, I would wish for more form in the criticisms, more knowledge behind the remarks: The prevalent conceptions of the nature and use of art by the mass of critics makes abundantly clear to us that only snob bery, "modernistic" bufoonery and verbal nonsense are results of their looking at and evaluating paintings and sculptures. False values breed false values: it is becoming increasingly difficult to free ourselves from this hypnotizing merry-go-round of reducing the multiple significance of art to single, unequivocal concepts as acutely worded by the critic. We must make the attempt. The art writers of the Ubyssey must make the attempt, if their criticisms are to have any value tor us at all. It of course means that they must look inwards in an attempt to discover why they want to look at paintings and sculptures and then take it upon themselves to judge them; it means that they must give some thought to the meaning of modernism other than the purely false one of useless and noisy radicalism: it means that they must become so flexible as to surrender their own ideas of, to each canvas they look at| they are to enjoy meanings values which are other th| their own; and finally, it mes that they must show respect the artist by refraining frj writing that miserable poetj criticism, about his works. Now, if they are to write abf art at all they must understal one very fundamental clifferen] between the objectives of review and art criticism. Art review confines itself, and large, to a simple, straigl forward and objective reporiij of the significant informati| about an exhibition with a m, imium of personal opinion pressed. Art criticism, on tl other hand, seeks to interpstf the relative meanings and valul embodied in the art works; tin is to say, the paintings ai sculptures are seen in relatij to the time which producl Lursday, October 2, 1958 THE UBYSSEY PAGE FIVE I) REVIEWS Rebels: Beat And Angry THE BEAT GENERATION AND THE ANGRY YOUNG MEN. •dited by Gen* Ftldman and Max Gartenberg..

We say this not because we doubt there are those who could better comment on these insurgents, but because we doubt anyone more would want to. Feldman and Gartenberg, being editor and literary agent, have said, rather well, all that can be said about the results of the literary thinking of the beardless on either side of the channel. They endear themselves to sensibility by refusing to consider the Beat people as anything more than a representation of a restricted field of com- and "The Beat Generation cannot take because it has nothing to give." About the Englishmen, or The Angry Young Men, who are "too removed from society to sustain anger", they are more praising, and consolidate their position by including excerpts from Colin qualified Wilson's "Outsider" and Kings- ley Amis' "Lucky Jim," They include most of the bigger noises in Beat circles: Ker- ouac, Rexroth, Solomon and Ginsberg. The inclusion of Ginsberg's controversial "Howl," which some pundits have called a new "Wasteland" was worthwhile, for this long and somewhat striking poem sums up all that is worth knowing about the Beat crowd. If you cannot be repelled by ment. They say, "The Beat Gen- the immorality of Beat, you have eration, because it wants every- to be repelled by the ridiculous The Broad Outlook - What Is It? Every year an urgent appeal goes out to UBC students to "Broaden Their Outlook." This is done by joining a club. The phrase, long associated with touring Europe, appears to have little or no meaning in itself. No attempt is made to define what it means (if anything) yet it is in constant use. It is useless to hope the meaning of the phrase can be deduced from a painstaking investigation into how it is used. Little or no light will be thrown on its meaning by this method because the phrase is employed in a rather reckless manner. The only indication of its meaning comes from the methods used to deliver the phrase. All sort of physical gyrations and oral twitches are called into play when a silence is filled with "but you must broaden your outlook." A vestige of meaning can be gleaned from the phrase when used in connection with "the grand tour." "You must go to Europe — it broadens your outlook." Gazing at piles of consecrated masonary and associating with "sensitive Europeans" (another phrase with an equally ambiguous meaning) somehow or another has a broadening affect. Here it seems possible to take the phrase to have something to do with provincialism and "broadening" could possibly mean the knocking down of some sort of mythical wall which is used as a substitute for an operational definition of this particular field. However, that this can be equally applied to the field of a club activity is somewhat dubious. Joining a club could possibly mean lhat a particular knowledge about a particular activity is learned on a particular day of every week by a particular group of people gathered together under one name. However, the provincial concept of the meaning of the phrase appears to have a much more general cause — a sort of osmosis causes the broadening. The club concept appears to be a concentrated effort which is anything but "osmatic." It is time a member of a club came forward with a definition of his use of the phrase so it would be possible to criticize the validity of their assertion. .As things stand now their position is impossible to understand for the very reason that we have absolutely no way of knowing what they are talking about. But maybe it does not matter since so many people are willing to tear down or defend their position as it stands now. Whatever the position be. — BARBARA BOURNE AUTUMN RAVEN Raven editor, Desmond Fitz- Gerald, has called for contributions for the magazine's fall edition.

The poetic sense, however, is only one part of their total critical equipment—it does not get in the way of the subject, but serves rather to illuminate in more vivid terms its essential meaning,. Art criticism is then seen to be more demanding of the total means of perception and imagination, and that this total means can be found in only rare1- and highly developed men. It would follow then that art review and not art criticism would be more numerous. This is not the case al all. Instead we have neither art review nor art criticism but terrible essays, mixed bags of verbal nonsense and bad poetry, narrow, ego-ridden opinions lacking in true historic sense and sensitiveness, "inspired" abstract jumbles all expressed not in relation to art but in relation to selfhood. Now to the point towards which the article has been building. I suggest that the art critics of the Ubyssey resign the more important and exacting offices of true art criticism and become instead art reviewers pure and simple. If our writers were to do this and confine themselves to honest, straight-forward reportings of current art exhibitions and art news, they would be rendering us, and the artists concerned, a valuable service. It should in no way frustrate their apparent strong energies and enthusiasms but rather serve to order them to a task more useful than simply blowing off steam over works of art. They could preoccupy themselves with reporting kinds of art works exhibited—that is, schools of paintings and sculpture represented — titles of works, names of the artists, perhaps the odd interview with a controversial artist as well as with a recognizably quiet and out-of-place one, what the artists say about what they are trying to do, if they feel that they have given significant embodiment lo ther ideas and feelings, etc.,— this could really be valuable and enlightening and stimulating to people who folow the galeries. In closing, I hope that B.B. will not continue to project into Epstein's "Christ" carved as being in his hour of humiliation; bound, beaten, crowned with thorns and condemned to die by the worst form of execution the Classical World could devise, "peaceful co-existance between body and soul that is every Christian's goal." I hope too that Desmond Fitzgerald will refrain from writing in that glaring style of his. those annoying, torrential floods of imagery having very little to do with the works involved. — DAVE SHILETTO philosophy. They cannot believe in tomorrow, and there- fore think they live for today. They are in the same position as the man who wonders why he should eat when he knows he has to eat again. In none of the selections offered by the editors is there proof that the Beat dislikes the world for any other reason that there is an atom bomb and that parts of the world are distasteful. Presumably, none of the Beat people could either read or understand the book by the man they are equated with, Colin Wilson. Nor, by any stretch of the imagination, could the Beat leader, Kerouac, be compared with any of the.outsider? Wilson studied. We are not impressed by the fact that' Kerouac traded football for poor writing, and we hope the editors did not intend that this fact should prove that Kerouac stands for anything. Enough about the North American writing youth. Until one appears who can handle the ideas of his betters without running out to the washroom for a fix, we had better look homeward, where, in time of intellectual calamity, we always do anyway. The selection from Amis is writing. The author of "Lucky Jim" is a working author, which is more than can be said for any of the Americans. He can draw characters and human situations. He reminds us of a Dickens with a university education. Because he is able to live as both a human and a writer, Amis may one day rise too far to be lumped, as critics will lump, with any loosely defined group. Amis is, for want of a better, the only intellectual leader available to the young generation. He was born a worker, so dislikes arch conservatism, and he looked long enough at Marxism to be disgusted. He is eminently, though perhaps not too positively, on the side of the honest in humanity. About Wilson, the editors are quite wrong. They say Wilson began with a rejection of rationalism and humanism. This is a mistake made by all those who criticized Wilson by refusing to look at what he had studied, and trying to condemn him on the grounds of what he did not study. The Outsider was simply an examination of the critical fac-. ulty of an intelligent man personified in those individuals who had lost sight of God. It was nothing more, and Feldman and Gartenberg should not have sullied some very astute comments by trying to make the Outside anything more or less than it was. The book is an excellent one to look through, for it gives a useful fund to the laziest of name droppers; and the introduction is well done. It is realistic, debunking the debunkers, and pointing up the as yet shallow wisdom in the younger English authors. It sums up all one would want to know about either school without reading deeply in the schools themselves. The anthology section is on the same quality paper, which is excellent for blotting ink and blood stains, after you have clipped out the articles and excerpts by John Osborne, Amis, and Colin Wilson. — KEN LAMB PAGE SIX THE UBYSSEY Thursday, OQtob$R2, 195& CHARM APPEAL (Continued from Page 1) a nuclear scientist," one fraternity boy murmered, "I quite agree. Nuclear fission is of very little value to the modern housewife," John Gem- mill, Commerce 2, said. "Let me tell you a charm school would be a waste of time," said Danielle Davis, Arts 2. "Who's going to get dressed up for coming to school?" she wanted to know. Her companion, a European student studying at the University of Berkeley agreed. "Girls should be taught to be charming by their parents," he added. Co-eds and men students alike agree lhat UBC definitely does NOT need a charm school. "Charm should come naturally to a woman," Austin Belix, Arts 1, said. "Pure snobbery," Alice Hogarth. Arts 1, snapped. ♦ "What people are here for is to learn, not to be little fashion plates anyway," she said. • "I think a charm school is rather ridiculous and quite unnecessary," Elisa Stenner, Arts 3, said. "Who has time for a charm school?" Elsie Hanson, Arts 1, asked. "Besides, anyone who's really interested in charm will have to read up on the subject," she said. "We're in our 'first fine flush of womanhood' but we're not concentrating on our beautiful appearance." one senior girl said., "We're here to get an education, not a charm school diploma!" she added. "Let me tell you we don't need a charm school out here," said Lawrence Bunka, Commerce 3, between clenched teeth. "This is a University, not a modelling school," he added. "A charm school isn't necessary," said Arthur Conroy, Arts 3. "People come out here and they're supposed to be intelligent; they're supposed to understand society and they should be able to conform to majority standards of dress," he said. "Let me tell you most of the girls out here are charming anyway." breathed pimply Abe Sproule. "They don't need a charm school." "They have enough charms now without going to school," said Fred McCourt, also Arts 1, his left eyebrow arched. "A University isn't the right place to have a charm school. That's more of a personal pursuit and shouldn't interfere with campus activities," Susan Flanders, Education 2, said. "We're not out here to learn how to dress, we're out here for an education," Julie Bennett, Arts 1, pointed out. "You can find ten well- dressed girls for every poqrly dressed one," said Carole Mc- Clellan, Arts 4. Sole dissenting voice came from Pat Shaw, Arts 2. "A charm school would help some of the kids," she said.

M. MacKenzie, in his annual address to the Faculty and Student Body Tuesday, cited this launching as one of the "symptoms of unsolved problems and evidence of the uneasy world in which we live. "Sputnik was, and is, a direct challenge to our society, particularly to those of us engaged in education, for the world of the future will belpng to those who are best able to control and use the forces of nature, and best able to organize and inspire or control human nature and human beings." EMPHASIZES DEFENSE Dr. MacKenzie went on to comment on the new emphasis, in Canadian defense policy. "The implications of this may be far-reaching and are likely to affect everyone in this audience. The basic implications of Canadian defence policy are fairly simple because, due to population and wealth, we are incapable of defending ourselves against modern wieapons." We are left with two or three choices as a result of this, he said. The first is to leave the defence of Canada, as a part of the BAN-LON 'Ship-mate" pullover Am.

COLE, CLU Branch Manager CANADIAN PREMIER LIFE defence of the continent, to the United States. JOIN OTHERS The second is to join with other nations, including the United States, in a general defence agreement, in which we might play an appropriate role. The third, "is that of becoming a northern projection of the United States defences. "In this arrangement we buy their weapons; we are trained and directed by them, and we provide their forces with bases and facilities in appropriate areas across our country." Dr. MacKenzie stated that practically all the research and development involved in weapons will be done in the United States, and that if this is true, "the bright young men and women will flow south across the line, where their brains, their abilities and their training can be used. "It also means that the best and more adventurous of those engaged in our labour force will be more likely to find suitable employment at Boeings in Seattle than at Avro in Toronto." He then went on to describe the system of government grants for the development and expansion of the university. DEVELOPED CLIMATE He spoke on the work done in the various fields of Fine Arts at the university Summer School, and said it was this Summer School of the Arts, over the past few years, which has developed a climate in which it was possible to plan for such an ambitious venture such as the Vancouver International Festival. Dr, MacKenzie then addressed himself to first year students. "We hope that you will enjoy your years with us, and we hope, too, that you will achieve here some of the things that you really desire and that will be of interest and use to you throughout the rest of your lives.

STUDENTS REPRIMANDED The student body was then reprimanded for their disregard for the condition of the campus and buildings and for the garbage left on lawns. The president then turned to the University and to university policy for the future. He stated that UBC is being accepted and is in the process of becoming one of the largest universities in Canada. In the future our goal should be one of excellence in everything we do or attempt, he said. Ue commented that he did not mean to imply by this that we have not been good or that we are not now good, but that over the years our main concern has been to build the foundations. "I do believe that in the future our chief concern must be with excellence in all we do, and that we should see to it that those who come to us are the best and ablest in the nation, both students and teachers. PROPER BALANCE Dr. MacKenzie closed by saying that the most important issue within the university itself "is to maintain a proper balance between and among the disciplines and to ensure that a broad and informed basis of understanding is given to all of the students to whom we give degrees. "No concern }'...r the minutiae of professional schools or departmental problems should interfere with our students' opportunities to get somewhere along the way a broad introduction to science, the humanities, human relationships and the world around. "This for me, along with our struggle for excellence, is the real challenge within universities, and particularly at our University today."

During the question period which folldwied, Mr. Kaninow, asserted that the Vancouver and Victoria presses have been biased and unfair to this minority. "The Doukhobors, as such, have never bombed.

"Although some members within the group rniay bomb, it is not the group's policy," Peter Kaminow, himself a Doukhobor, graduated in law from the University of Saskatchewan.

Dr. MacKenzie stressed that if this increase should come about, members of the student council would most certainly be consulted.
