Arts campaigns poor,
ill voters' interest
The first two days of arts elections attracted few voters.
By late Wednesday, 550 of the 5,000 arts students had voted.
Arts vice-president Harley Rothstein said the executive was
isappointed over the small turnout.
"People aren't voting because of poor campaigns, lack of
lection publicity and a lack of real issues," he said.
John Churchland, arts 2, is the sole contender for arts
resident.
Arts students, however, can add any name they wish to
leir ballot.
Ralph Stanton, Dennis Hutton, and Vernon Hunchak, all arts
, are running for vice-president.
Stanton wants to continue free activities implemented by
his year's council.
Hutton says he wants more student participation in arts
ouncil.
If 1,000 students vote in the election next years arts presi-
ent will have three votes on next year'si student council, Roth-
tein said.
Today is the last voting day.

Blood donations down,
Red Cross needs not met
The Red Cross blood drive needs you regardless of
your sleepy bloodshot eyes.
. Attendance at the blood donor clinic in the armory
has been lagging.
Chris Andersen, forestry 2, co-ordinator of the blood
drive, said Wednesday less than 50 people have come to
the clinic during the mornings.
Daily attendance has been about 300, he said.
The blood drive ends Feb. 2.
"We're disappointed in the staff turnout," said Anderson. "Only 58 staff and faculty out of a total of 3,400 have
donated blood."
Leading faculty so far is science.
AMS executives
botch Hare meet
By ALEXANDRA VOLKOFF
Alma Mater Society (first vice-president Don
Munton missed a scheduled meeting with new
UBC president Dr. Kenneth Hare Tuesday.
AMS president Shaun Sullivan made the
meeting, but kept Hare waiting more than 15
minutes.
Later Tuesday, four students got a personal
interview with Hare that lasted nearly two hours.
Munton said he was preparing for a city
council meeting and was too busy to go.
Munton said he told Arnie Myers, UBC director of information earlier he probably won't be
able to attend the meeting.
Myers said he arranged a tentative meeting
Monday between students and Hare with AMS
treasurer Dave Hoye to be at the president's
office Tuesday.
"I told Sullivan earlier I didn't think chances
of the meeting were very
good," Myers said.
Sullivan said he wasn't told
where Tuesday's meeting
would be when he learned
about it late Monday.
"I was late getting on campus
and then waited in the administration building with council
secretary Penny Cairns until
we were told the meeting was
in the faculty club," Sullivan
said.
Hoye was also at the meeting, which lasted
less than an hour.
Hare was not willing to discuss specific issues
as he is not yet president, Sullivan said.
"Munton and I met Hare last year, so I think
that the four members of council that did meet
Hare were adequate for the purpose," he said.
Although the discussion was general, Sullivan
said Hare has been doing his homework. "He is
well attuned to affairs in B.C.," he said. "You
can't help but like the guy — as a president he
will satisfy everybody."
That is also the impression of Senators Gabor
Mate and Ray Larsen, arts president Stan Persky
and Carey Linde, law 1, after their afternoon
meeting with Hare.
"1 like his style of directness. He is willing
to meet us on our own turf,'' Persky said.
The four said Hare told them there was
clearly nothing he could do on the senate crisis,
but that he would have a public opinion on it
by June 1.
SULLIVAN
They discussed the problem of external pressure on the senate. Hare said the students and
faculty should be running the university.
When Persky asked if the senate shouldn't
be open to those two but not the general public,
Hare admitted that he didn't know, but that it
was a good question.
"The essential purpose we went to talk to
him about — senate secrcy — didn't get anywhere," Mate said.
Hare is a man who understands the more
progressive element in student government, said
Linde, editor of the law undergraduate journal
Flea.
Persky agreed, "He's about 300 yards ahead
of this year's council."
"Hare demonstrated to us that he knew a lot
about student activism and that he is one administrator that reads the Berkeley literature," Larsen said.
Hare surprised Persky by telling him that he
is a pacifist.
"Hare is a very suave sort of man," Larsen
said. "He is particularly good at handling potentially embarrassing situations.
"He will be very easy to reach when problems do arise. One of the most significant things
he said was that he would speak to students at
any time, on the students' terms."
"We came early and stayed late," Linde said.
He said they talked about Hare* early life, university finances, the president's role in the university, and even Mardi Gras.
Hare is concerned with the low level of
awareness in the province
about the university, and intends to travel around B.C. to
gain support for higher education.
When Linde suggested taking
a student along, Hare liked the
idea.
"I think the new president
will be enormously liked by
students," Persky said. "His
own presence will be a change."
mass meeting of students -will
be held in Brock Tuesday noon to decide a policy
over senate secrecy. Six hundred students at a
similar meeting Jan. 9 voted to stage a sit-in at
the Feb. 14 senate meeting.
"We want to tell students what has happened
so far and decide what course of action to take,"
Mate said. "There still could be a sit-in."

COUNCIL DISTORTION
Student opinion ignored'
By MIKE FINLAY
Ubyssey Council Reporter
Alma Mater Society first vice-president Don
Munton speaks with forked tongue.
In response to criticism of representation in
council aired in a Ubyssey story Tuesday, Mun-
tion said student council was at least ahead of
student opinion.
Garbage. If being ahead of student opinion
means student views are represented, Munton
is a little off base.
How can student ideas be truly represented on
a council where 13 of the 26
members are present?
This was the case Monday
night and appears to be the
trend in council meetings this
year.
Now we must say efforts of
some kind are being made to
make council more democratic
by giving it representation by
population.
Munton presented a proposal MUNTON
Monday night which would enlarge council and
the executive in order to give a greater voice
to the larger faculties.
The proposal was tabled.
The reason given was that there were not
Forces play games
PHILADELPHIA, Pa. (CUP-LNS)—Canadian
forces each year buy large numbers of American-
made war toys, according to a major U.S. manufacturer.
"The miniatures," said a manufacturer's
spokesman, "are so perfect in HO-scale that the
military men use them in top secret war games
and for training purposes."
enough people at the meeting to give an accurate
picture of student views on the reform.
In other words, UBC student council did not
represent the students of UBC Monday night.
In addition, councillors seem to have forgotten it is the students they are supposed to repre-
sent and having the students sitting right there
in front of them doesn't make them remember.
Monday night's meeting was held in the common room at Acadia Camp. Holding meetings at
various places on campus was initiated so greater
contact between council and students could be
achieved.
AMS treasurer Dave Hoye, who chaired the
meetings, appeared to have missed this point.
When the question of equalization grants for
out of town students came up, arguments for
and against came from the council members.
Groans, mumurings and whisperings were
heard among the 25 students
watching the meeting in the
common room.
Hoye ignored the students.
He did not ask them to speak.
He did not even inform them
during the meeting that they
were allowed to speak.
Those students, Dave, are the
people most affected by equal-
lization grants. They live away
from home.
Since the resignation of residence representative Blaize Horner two weeks ago, those students
have had no representation on student council.
It might not have been a bad idea to have
heard what they had to say. After all, they are
the students council supposedly represents.
The question is no longer simply whether
student council at UBC is democratic and represents according to population.
The question is: Are students represented at
all?

Vietnam confusion deliberate
By MIKE FITZGERALD
The average American citizen is being brainwashed says a U.S. psychologist.
Isidor Ziferstein told 400 students in Bu. 104
Wednesday the U.S. government uses psycho-
>gical habituation to win people over to its side
£ the Vietnam war.
"It's method is to bewilder and confound the
verage American citizen and make him feel
ncomfortable," he said.
"It involves several steps. Certain rumors of
ietnam incidents are leaked. This upsets the
eople for a time.
"Then, in a few weeks a government repre-
sntative officially denies the rumor and the
latter is dropped."
Ziferstein said the president's role in the
rainwashing is to come forth to comfort his
ibjects and convince them there is no truth to
le rumors.
"The brainwashing builds up slowly day by
ay until the people realize they are involved
in a war. This psychological habituation is very
effective."
The U.S. Information Bureau stands for the
eleventh amendment, he said.
"The eleventh amendment is the democratic
right of the people not to know."
Since the U.S. became officially involved in
Vietnam in 1947, all four presidents, Truman,
Eisenhower, Kennedy and Johnson have supported this form of mass conversion, he said.
In 1947, the U.S. gave financial aid to France
under the terms of the Marshall Plan.
When France decided to use part of the aid
to finance their military operations in Vietnam,
the U.S. did not protest, he said.
"Gradually their involvement built up into
what it is now.
"Peace marchers, sit-in demonstraters and the
like are not affected by this habituation. It is
our duty to join them and see that this brainwashing is stopped or the situation will develop
into a global war."
Bursary protest
gets fast results
QUEBEC (CUP)—More than 1,000 students Tuesday marched
in front of the education department offices here protesting slowness in processing student loan and bursary applications.
Inside, education minister Jean-Guy Cardinal promised an
acceleration of the review of loan-bursary applications.
At the end of a two-hour meeting, Cardinal said he had
asked executives of L'Union Generale des Etudiants du Quebec
(UGEQ) to co-operate with the department in establishing norms
and standards for next year's loan-bursary requests.
The protest was organized by UGEQ to dramatize the department's slowness in processing loan applications, and to protest
what student leaders termed unfair criteria for evaluation of
certain classifications of applicants.
Quebec sources say over 68,000 students submitted applications this year. Cardinal said over 33,000 applications had to be
returned because they were improperly filled out by students.
Paul Bourbeau, a UGEQ vice-president, says to date over
8,000 students have yet to receive a reply to their applications
for money. He denied a rumor, circulated by the Canadian Press,
that over 4,000 students were to be prosecuted for submitting
fraudulent applications.
Bourbeau claimed only 600 cases are under consideration
for prosecution.
Under the Quebec student loan-bursary plan, students whose
requests are denied or reduced may ask for a review of their case.
Student leaders complained if these requests were not reviewed quickly, students may have to drop out of school for this
year.
Students also renewed demands for eventual elimination
of tuition fees for all levels of education.
A hint of humor cheered the demonstrators shivering outside
in the cold. One girl carried a huge sign saying Bursaries or
Prostitution.
Another, referring to student claims that the loan-bursary
plan is unfavorable to married students, said, Johnson Favorise
le Concubinage (Johnson encouraged living in sin).
Deadline extended
on illegal suites
By STEPHEN JACKSON
Ubyssey Housing Reporter
Vancouver city council is denying needed suites to
apartment seekers, Alma Mater Society first vice-president
Don Munton said Wednesday.
He was commenting on city council's rejection Tuesday
of an AMS request that the city revise its stand on illegal
suites.
At present, areas zoned for single family dwellings may
have no more than two boarders.
Alderman accepting recommendations of the board of
administration voted against the AMS suggestion to increase
the boarders permitted.
The board based its recommendation on a report on
illegal accommodation made by the city building inspector
and the director of planning.
Council also voted to continue eliminating illegal suites.
The AMS had requested that more home owners be
allowed to install apartments and that the 2,100 illegal
suites already closed be reopened.
But council did agree with the AMS suggestion to extend for two years — until Dec. 31, 1969 — the licenses of
those homes operating suites now.
"I was surprised and completely disappointed with
council's decision. In effect, they made no moves," Munton
said.
'If our request had been granted yesterday, in a few
months there would be 5,000 more suites available. Students
would have got a fair number of them." sya^^^^VsKSf^ $--

Shaun did it...
I Someone has finally given substance to the common, but ill-defined, charge that UBC student council
is irrelevant. That person is merely the chairman of
student council, Alma Mater Society president Shaun
Sullivan.
Sullivan did the trick with his admission that council has done next to nothing about implementing its
promise to take action on matters that concern students
as students—academic affairs. The promise was made in
a series of resolutions, passed last March, that called for,
among other things, joint AMS-faculty work on general
academic reform and annual AMS research projects
into university problems.
Now, wo do not deny that homecomings, bowling
alleys in student union buildings, and laundry facilities
at Acadia Park are parts of university life. We do not
deny that as such they deserve student council attention. What we do deny is that such matters deserve
all of council's attentign.
What chiefly concerns students during their years
at UBC are courses, classrooms, libraries, and professors.
Until such matters chiefly concern student council, the
charge of irrelevance will stick.
... Rep by pop
Teaming up with Sullivan to add force to the view
that council is irrelevant is one of his AMS executive
cohorts, co-ordinator Jim Lightfoot.
This worthy, a member of the student government
for two years, made his contribution Monday night when
he opposed a proposed constitutional reform aimed at
widening council's membership to 45. Lightfoot said he
didn't think there were 45 people on campus interested
in student government.
He was right. There are not 45 students interested
in UBC student government the way that student government operates now.
Students. are not interested because, as we mentioned above, council has failed to concern itself with
matters that concern students as students.
But there is another reason. As two political science
professors pointed out Monday, under the wierd AMS
constitution many of UBC's 18,000 students are drastically under-represented on council.
One stark example tells the sad story: There are
280 home economics students at UBC. There are 4,918
arts students. But both the home ec. and arts representative on council have one vote apiece. Which means that
the influence of one home economics student on what
happens in council is approximately 16 times the influence of one arts student.
The proposed revisions, prepared by council's constitutional revisions committee, represent only a small
move toward approximating a democratic system of
student government. They don't go nearly far enough.
Chief fault with the committee's report is that it
fails to insist upon a system of representation by population. It suggests a maximum representation on council
cor the largest faculties of "perhaps five." But if this
naximum number of five were awarded to a large
acuity such as science (3,422 students) while home ec.
etained its one vote, rep by pop would be only slightly
advanced. The home ec. student would still have a
voice almost three times as large as that of the science
student. The inequity between the largest faculty, arts,
and the smallest, librarianship (85 students) and rehab
medicine (96 students), would be much greater.
We cannot understand the aversion of people associated with student politics .to the democratic system
of governipent. We cannot understand why, in the process of ensuring a fair voice on council for the smaller
faculties, it is necessary to make second and third class
citizens out of students who happen to be registered
in larger faculties.
Until we have a body based on the one-man, one-
/ote principle the AMS council will have no right to
he claim that it represents the students of UBC.

Editor, The Ubyssey:
I had difficulty believing
that the pictures in last Saturday's Sun, showing fraternity
and sorority members done up
in black-face for the deep
south theme of this year's
Mardi Gras, were for real.

DEPT.
tion to those reported by Mike
Finlay in last Tuesday's
Ubyssey.
My previous remarks were
prompted not by any inward
revelation of a divine mission
to expound on student government — Mr. Finlay phoned me
and I answered his questions.
There is nothing wrong with
weighted voting. An excellent
system would be one in which
each student had, in voting for
his representatives, a number
of votes determined by the following formula: (student's average mark).2
Massive financial support by
the council of the various anti-
calendars would provide a
check on unscrupulous profs
seeking to give higher marks
to members of toadying interest
groups.
I agree with Don Munton's
response to my comments. The
point is that council is not far
enough ahead of student opinion.
About representation: UBC
student councils have shown
little sign of representing students as students—as members
of an academic community in
which excellence in study and
teaching is the highest goal. It
may be satisfying (and most im
pressive to one's future corporate employers) to have one's
name in brass on the SUB's
dedication plaque, but it would
have been far nobler to have
spent the SUB money on such
things as scholarships, the library, the anti-calendars, and
the bringing of great teachers
to our campus.

Editor, The Ubyssey:
I wish to point out a serious
error in your editorial of Jan.
19, entitled "Nonconformists."
The incident you were writing
about happened at Waterloo
University College, part of
Waterloo Lutheran University.
No such incident occurred at
the University of Waterloo, a
completely different institution.
The University of Waterloo has
consistently discounted any

university a great disservice
by linking its name with such
nefarious practices that go on

Art gallery hideout for wanted
SAN FRANCISCO (UNS) —
Eleven students and a faculty
member seeking sanctuary
from local police who want to
arrest them, have holed up in
the San Francisco State College art gallery.
The arrests were ordered on
college president John Sum-
merkill's complaint about the
twelve's actions during a Dec.
6 mill-in when 200 students
occupied the locked administration building.
Warrants are out for their arrests but city police can't serve
them unless Summerkill invites police on campus.
The eleven students and
John Gerassi, the only faculty
member who participated in
the mill-in, were selected because of their leadership roles
in campus left-wing organizations, spokesmen charge.
Trouble began at the college
in November when newspaper
editor Jim Vaszko was beaten
by members of the Black Students Union. They claim the
paper delayed unnecessarily in
publishing the picture of their
candidate for homecoming
queen.
Another contributing factor
in the disturbance was the
radical weekly paper Open
Process which printed a poem
about anal masturbation. Summerkill suspended publication.
About 75 people are staying
with the live-ins in the art
gallery. Students expect the
arrests to be put off for at
least eight days until the semester break begins.

Dohling is
too much
for Birds
Portland State guard Hal
Dohling may be no Lew Al-
cindor or Elvin Hayes but he
looked pretty big to the UBC
basketball Thunderbirds Tuesday night at War Memorial
Gym.
Dohling poured in 26 points
as the Vikings outlasted UBC
83-79 in the hard-fought contest.
The San Leandro, California,
native hit on 11 of 23 shots
from the field and sank all
four of his free throws.
"I felt we could take them
but Dohling made the big difference," said UBC coach
Peter Mullins.
With less than three minutes
remaining, PSC enjoyed a ten-
point margin but two 25-foot
jump shots by guard Phil
Langley and two foul shots by
Frank Rotering brought UBC
to within two points.
But the desperate Birds were
forced to foul the stalling
Oregon squad and forwards
Ed Gorman and Don Suloff hit
four last-minute free throws
to sink UBC.
Rookie center Frank Rotering made his starting debut a
success by leading UBC scorers
with 24 points.
Forward Ian Dixon, back
after an ankle injury, hit for
17 points and veteran Neil
Murray added 15 more.
Forward Peter Ness backed
up Dohling's efforts with 20
points for PSC.
The Birds travel to Saskatchewan this weekend for a
pair of Western Conference
games with the last place
Huskies.
The basketball Jayvees are
also away this weekend as
they visit Seattle Friday to
play the Seattle University
frosh. Saturday the Jayvees
are in Moses Lake for a contest with Big Bend Community
College.

We got a letter recently which called for a re-examination
of the sports coverage policy of The Ubyssey. As sports editor
and the sole one responsible for the content of The Ubyssey's
sports pages, I would like to reply to this letter and to squelch
some of the idyllic dreams of the co-authors, Rick Angus and
Jon Sigurdson.
As the co-authors stated in their letter, "The Ubyssey is
responsible for reporting campus activities of which sports are
an integral part deserving wider review."
Angus and Sigurdson may not realize it but sports this year
are receiving the widest coverage in The Ubyssey's history. For
the first time we have a sports page three times a week.
There are, however, limitations as to how
wide a review UBC's $100,000-a-year sports
program can be given. The chief restrictions
are space and staff.
To give adequate coverage to all sports on
campus would require The Ubyssey to devote
itself entirely to reporting athletic news. This
would be impossible for it's not The Ubyssey's
purpose.
The Ubyssey, like all other newspapers,
attempts to cover all news and sports events
and like all newspapers we cannot possibly
JESSEN cover them all.
My policy this year, because of our limitations, has been to
give consistent coverage to the most attended sports, which are
football, basketball and ice hockey, and to include features at
regular intervals on the other sports to show the students that
these events exist and that they are also worth attending.
Therefore, some sports occasionally receive only brief re-
sumees which Angus and Sigurdson condemned as "hardly sufficient to promote wider interest in university athletics."
Angus and Sigurdson go on to say that "reporters should be
opinionated, stressing the highlights rather than reciting the
statistics. Another good point but it's rather hard to be opinionated when one did not see the game one is writing about.
It is impossible to have a reporter cover each of the 25 or so
so sports played by UBC teams. Sports writers go to as many
games as possible but they rely heavily on reports from managers, coaches, players or other interested persons. These reports
are often mostly statistical for this is what interests the people
who give them to us.
If I had 25 reporters I would assign one to each sport and
then the stories which resulted would most likely be more interesting and informative.
But I don't have that many reporters. I have only seven. Of
these, five cover one specific sport each because they have no
more time to spend on writing stories. This leaves the bulk of
the work to be done by two other reporters and myself and we
often have many other things to do as well.
Student journalists are both students and journalists and
this is often forgotten. We are not covering and writing for The"
Ubyssey on a full-time basis and we get no pay for what we do.
Like other students we have classes, homework, essays and exams.
In short we're human, just like our readers.
If Angus, Sigurdson or anyone else, however, feel that they
have some spare time and if they would sincerely like to improve the sports pages of The Ubyssey, they are invited to come
in and see us and help us put out a better product.
The only limitation to a better newspaper is that too many
people just sit back and criticize but never act on their complaints.

Thousand-mile run ahead
for car rally competitors
By JIM MADDIN
For peaceniks and hippies a rally is a place
to go and complain; for motor sport enthusiasts,
who can always be found complaining after a
rally, it is a way to enjoy their sport.
The subject is car rallies and the UBC
Sports Car Club's Thunderbird Rally, which gets
under way from the Pacific Press building on
Friday at 9 p.m., in particular.
Rallymaster Don Munro and his assistant
Bob Owen have set out an 1,100-mile route leading from Vancouver into the interior and back
for the rallyists.
The course this year will be on highways and
secondary roads, mostly snow covered, with a
few not-too-well defined paths in the interior
thrown in for the fun of it.
FIRMS HELP SPONSOR
Due to the hard work of certain members of
the Sports Car Club, notably Munro, Owen,
Alan Gentles, Gary Tindall, Norm Daniel, Barry
Child, Greg Oryall and Mike Hunter, this rally
has many large business firms willing to help
sponsor it.
Especially notable among these sponsors are
car dealers who are awarding special prizes to
the highest placing competitors driving their
products.
This will certainly make the rally more interesting as far as the competition goes, as these
are beautiful and prestigious trophies.
GOOD REPUTATION
Because the Thunderbird has always been an
interesting, well organized and well planned
rally it has a very good reputation.
This reputation was enhanced when about
five years ago the rally was given regional status,
which means that people who wanted to be
recognized as good rallyists in the region had to
compete and do well.
Its success as a regional event brought it another promotion and it now is one of the few
national rallies on the west coast.
This level of competition precludes all but
experienced competitors entering and this brings
all the good rallyists from the U.S. and the rest
of Canada.
Each entry is composed of one car, one driver
and one navigator.
The car conveys the driver, who directs It,
and the navigator who directs him.
Preparation of these cars is carefully done,
because they must last for the whole distance.
SPECIAL EQUIPMENT
Special equipment is also used, such as driving lights, special odometers and speed pilots
(special little computers which tell you whether
or not you have gone the required distance in
the proper time).
The Sports Car Club is producing a movie of
their masterpiece.
A camera crew under the direction of club
photographer Norm Daniel will be found at
various out of the way places on the route, taking pictures as people motor past them.
The movie will star all entrants of the rally
and will be ready for its first public viewing
sometime in early March.
OFFICIAL STARTER
The official starter of last year's rally was
B.C.'s minister of highways Phil Gaglardi. To
do one better this year, the organizers have got
Jim Gunn, the official Shell 4,000 rallymaster,
to do the honors.
Gaglardi is still high on the club's list of
favorites, though, because his department goes
to a lot of trouble to keep the rally roads open
under all conditions for the club^
Last year's winning navigator, Alan Robi-
taille, has this to say about the rally, " . . . this
rally is by far the best, most enjoyable in B.C."
Jean Calvin, an American motoring journalist concurs with Robitaille. She also rates the
Thunderbird as one of the best rallies in Western
Canada.
Rallyists will drive many snow and mud covered
roads like these in the 1,100-mile Thunderbird
Rally.
