Healy made the announcement in December after recommendations' from Arts professors had been screened and drawn up. by an advisory board. Changes include: • The present B.A. majors program of two nine unit majors in third and fourth years will be abolished. • In its place the Arts faculty will offer one 15 unit major in a 60 unit B.A. program. • The present B.A. honors program will be retained as well as the requirement of six units of courses outside the student's field of specialization. The new program will ibegin September, 1966.

In an interview Healy outlined the reasons for the changes. "Students and faculty are dissatisfied with the present program of two nine unit majors. It offers no depth, sense of accomplishment or even modest competency in a given field of study. "Further, a majors program student is often poorly equipped to continue into graduate studies," Healy said. Healy said that the new program would identify the student as the responsibility of the department in which he majors. He hoped that departments would be able to devote more attention to the individual student.

The Ubyssey won the award for overall excellence for a record fifth consecutive year. (See also pages 3 and 5). Healy stressed the fact the changes were not administrative rearrangements but academic ones. "The responsibility for a student's program is now on the faculty and the students where it belongs," he said. Healy further stated that these reforms were not based on the Discipline and Discovery (D and D) report. The D and D report formulated in spring 1965 by a group of arts professors recommended a polarization of large and small classes and seminar groups and such things as weekly essays from first year English students.

By STUART GRAY So your're a new you this year, huh. Join the club. When Jan. 1 came, you had analyzed, disected, and purged yourself until all your faults were tied up in a neat little bundle to be placed in the garbage with the empty bottles. From this soul searching the new you emerged radiant with well scrubbed virtues. You were never going to run short of cigarettes, bor row from friends, forget to pay your bills, or call down Bob Dylan. Your alarm clock would never be cursed again. And mainly, you were really, really, absolutely and completely, going to study. Not a miss a lecture. Smile at your profs. Concentrate. The new you would bounce back to classes brimming with invincible intelligence, trembling with desire to churn through the four remaining months, to triumphantly, finish, dripping with incredible marks. Then came Monday. First you didn't hear the alarm, hut that wasn't so bad really, because it was the first day of classes and by now getting up before ten had become absurd. Filled with remorse you rushed out into the snow with your best shoes, came right back, found your snow boots still wet from Sunday, put them on anyway, tramped five blocks to the busstop, and missed one. You arrived in time for a cup of coffee before your second lecture, reflecting that you didn't want to get your first lecture results anyway. Along came a friend and you remembered you left your books on the bus so you borrowed one from him. The second lecture wasn't too bad except the prof was a bit cranky and he kept looking at you when you yawned. But by this time you re membered what and where your next lecture was, it was too late to barge in, so you went for another coffee. What but some more friends along with news of an after- exam-results blast and could you come. Sorry, you explained, you had to study tonight because studying was so important in the few months remaining, and where was the party? After all, there's always next year. ■ni^^w, * ^* ;;Vv- ;*?v*» "X\\jr; '•":" WE'RE HAVING A BALL, yell a group of black and blue sciencemen throwing snowballs from the roof of the physics building at noon Monday.

SECOND TIME New English head is from Manitoba UBC has found an English department head at the University of Manitoba for the second time. Geoffrey Hugh Durrant, 52, head of the English department at Manitoba and former Dean of Arts at University of Natal in South Africa has been appointed to head UBC's largest department starting July 1, 1966. The 7,000-student department and its 130 faculty members have been headless since former head Roy Daniells was appointed University Professor of English Language and Literature in June. Daniells also came to UBC from the English Dept. at University of Manitoba. Durrant served in South Africa during World War Two. He was active in South African radio, journalism and education until 1961 when he left for political reasons. HEALY (Continued from page 1) The new reforms were drawn up by an advisory board which consisted of one delegate from each department in the arts faculty. The board's recommendations were ratified by a meeting of the entire faculty. The changes are to be implemented starting Sept. 1, 1966. At that time students beginning fourth year arts will be required to select one major field of study. Possible exceptions will be worked out with a faculty advisor.

"I think we made a mistake," he said. • • • He said the commission's report should have urged more aid for needy students rather than abolition of fee increases. Bladen said the commission underestimated the rising cost of higher education. • • • Originally, the commission estimated that total spending on higher education in Canada would increase from $57 million in 1965 to $2,032 million in 1975. Bladen said the $2,500 million would have been a more accurate figure. it five straight. Fourteen staffers braved wind, mountain and snow to attend the 28th Canadian University Press conference at Calgary after Christmas and came back with the Southam Trophy for general excellence in student newspapers. It is the fifth consecutive year the paper has won the award — a record in the 17- year history of file competition. The trophy is awarded annually among student newspapers publishing more often than weekly. Runners-up in the competition were the Toronto Varsity and the Gateway of the University of Alberta at Edmonton. The competition was judged on papers chosen from those published in the two weeks prior to Oct. 30. In addition to the Southam Trophy, Ubyssey editor Tom Wayman accepted the Bracken Trophy for editorial writing. Canada's greatest student newspaper placed second in the features and cartoon competitions and third in news photography. The McMaster Silhouette won the Jacques Bureau trophy for the best weekly paper. More than 150 delegates from 36 student newspapers attended the conference at the University of Alberta at Calgary from Dec. 27 to 30. Vic College students withhold fee increase Protesters ignore fee fines By DAN MULLEN Ubyssey Ass't Newis Editor Victoria College students are paying their second term fees — almost. In protest against a $56 fee increase imposed by their Board of Governors, 1,516 of Victoria College's 2,973 students signed pledges to pay their fees minus the increase. Many students who paid fees Monday did so without including the extra $56, according to Victoria AMS president Paul Williamson. This came in the face of $10 fines to be levied against students who have not paid their fees in full by Friday. Purpose of withholding the fee increase is to draw the attention of the provincial government to the need for increased operating grants, Williamson said Monday. "Tuition levels depend on the amount of such grants," he said. Williamson said the Victoria College AMS has no intention of becoming embroiled with its Board of Governors. "Our action is designed solely to awake the provincial government to the need for higher operating grants," he said. He said he received almost unanimous support from 27 other delegations to the Canadian Union of Students conference at Banff during the Christmas holidays. "We had hoped to receive promises to help us pay the $15,000 necessary to meet the $10 fines if they are ultimately enforced," he said. Williamson said none of the universities promised to raise funds for this purpose. "But they gave us moral support, and we're happy to have that," he said. —powell harKrave photo THE COLD AND SNOW isn't good for cars either.

It will cost you $10 extra to be reinstated. If you have a government loan you will have to get another form from the bank and get it validated at the registrar's office. There will be no extention of the deadline for anyone. There is also a box in the registrar's office in which you may place your cheques. But whether you use the box or the mail you will get no receipt until February. To get one immediately you must wait in line. —powell hargrave photo A LOT OF THE WORK of the 28th National Conference of Canadian University Press was done late at night in the hotel rooms of delegates.

TUESDAY, JANUARY 4, 1966 "This year it is awful." —Vancouver Sun editorial on The Ubyssey, Nov. 28, 1965 We ARE great We're great. What's more, we're great again. We've been great for the fifth straight year now, and that sets a new record for Canadian University Press. Which means we're even great at being great. Now if all this looks like we're putting out the Narcissistic Daily, there's something in that. 'Cause we believe from sad experience that if we don't point out how great we are occasionally, nobody else is going to. Which would be a shame, since we're so great. You better believe it. Actually, the fact that when you read The Ubyssey you read Canada's best overall news stories and editorials and features and cartoons and photographs should give you cause to rejoice. For about $1.20 a year, you get 72 issues of nothing but the best. And that's cheap at twice the price. So today we're singing the praises of those unsung heroes who put out Canada's Greatest. From the dauntless word-wielders around Ron Riter and George Reamsbottom's newsdesk, from the hovering horde around Al Donald and Danny Stoffman's city desk, from the high-domed thinkers in John Kelsey's Page Friday office, from the dank depths of Norm Betts' darkroom, and from the somnambulistic aura of the editor's office comes the result of a lot of sweat you read three times a week. We're putting their names in big type below, because they come down to North Brock basement and sweat for love, not money. Love of each other, sometimes, but mostly love of that special brand of journalism known as college newspapering. For some reason, they like to work, two, four, or forty hours a week giving you The Ubyssey. Maybe they like to work for such intangibles as a good job well done, or maybe they like working for such tangibles as this weekend's Victory Party. Or maybe, they just like being great.

DON B. 67 ALLEN, EUS Vice-President, BY IAN CAMERON Buses begin to bug Ian Jeff Wall Arnold Saba CARTOONISTS John Faulkes As anyone who has been following this column for any length of time will know, I don't like buses. As of yesterday, however, I have changed my mind. Instead of disliking them, I now abhor them. I also wish to express disapproval of the whey- faced poltroons who arrange the bus schedules in this city. On Sunday, I was informed by my local radio station that UBC was closed to all those with- out snow tires or chains, and that special buses would be laid on to take students to campus. Secure in my knowledge that the UBC express bus leaves 41st and West Blvd. at 7:39, I arrived there at 7:30 and joined the small throng. At 7:35 my feet started to get cold. At 7:43 the bus arrived, and kept on going. Full. The next three buses were Not In Service. Then there were two 41st buses with a total of eight passengers. Then two more Not In Service, a Hastings and Main (lost) one more 41st (two passengers) and three more Not In Service. Then came another UBC Special. A hoarse cheer rang out. It passed by. Full. I tried to grab the cheering hoarse, but some idiot beat me to it. By this time it was 8:00, and my feet were numb. The next three buses were Not In Service. Two more 41st, both with three people. The crowd has grown to 70 people by this time, and no one was very happy. Four more buses came by, all Not In Service. Then an empty Dunbar, and a Blan- shard (lost) and two more Not In Service. - Finally, at 8:10, a bus came. We clawed, kicked, scratched and bit to get on. I asked for change for a quarter. The driver informed me that I should go to the back of the line if I didn't have the correct change. Knowing full well what that would mean, I gave up the extra five cents and took my 10 square inches of floor. We arrived at 8:40. As a result, I have some things to say to the people who planned this fiasco. Look, you small minded, f u zj z - brained, cud-chewing clots. You people don't seem to realize how many students there are out here. Tomorrow, get the finger out of wherever it is you keep it and use it to count on. You should then discover that there are 7,000 students wishing to get here no later than 8:15. Many of these will want to ride your off-cream with green stripe racers. In view of this, you should consider putting some of those Not In Service vehicles into service. , You moronic slobs. Tuesday, January 4, 1966 THE UBYSSEY Page 5 SOME SHAFTS SOME BUILDING Canadian University Press active RYERSONIAN editor L. B. Coates leaves CUP plenary session after his paper was suspended for one year from the organization. Student newspapers at the 2 8th Canadian University Press Conference Dec. 27 to 30 suspended one paper, accepted two others, and took a close look at the role of the student press. • • • Tha conference, held at the University of Alberta at Calgary, brought together 125 delegates from the 27 member papers and the nine associate members. One of the members, The Ryersonian, a student staffed publication of the Board of Governors of the Ryerson Polytechnic Institute, came under immediate fire from other papers because the institute's administration had the power of veto over material' published. • • * All other member papers are published, without faculty or administration interference, by the student unions of the universities. The managing editor of The Ryersonian, however, is a faculty member who has complete powers of censorship over all material entering the paper. The findings of a CUP investigation commission conducted in December stated: "The fact that a faculty member can veto a decision of the student editor, no matter on what grounds, is a violation of the Charter of the student press in Canada." • • • The charter states "In no case shall a representative of the institution, whether a board or faculty advisor have the power of censorship or the power to set editorial policies." At the final plenary session of the conference The Ryersonian was suspended from CUP membership for one year by a unanimous vote. The conference investigated the firing of Carillon editor John Conway Oct. 15.
