Healy made the announcement in December after recommendations' from Arts professors had been screened and

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

The new program will ibegin

has announced changes in the
affect programs of third and
pected to be announced by
March 1, 1966 according to
Healy.
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.
Not based on D & D report

ADMIRABLE SOUTHAM TROPHY admires itself in belabel-
led hotel mirror during Canadian University Press conference at Calgary. 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.

WILL THE NEW YOU SHINE BRIGHT IN 66?
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.

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.

The Ubyssey has made
Bladen backs
doubled fees,
belatedly
Dean Vincent Bladen thinks
the commission he headed on
higher education should have
recommended university fees
be doubled rather than frozen
at present levels.
• • *
Bladen told a University of
Toronto alumni dinner in Peterborough, Ont., Dec. 1 that
the commission lacked the
courage of its convictions.
"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.

Fourteen staffers braved
wind, mountain and snow to

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.

Start digging deep
for second term fees
Dig we must for second term fees are due on the 14th.
If you don't want to stand out in the rain and snow
you can mail a certified cheque to the accounting office. If
your fees are not paid by the deadline you will automatically be expelled from UBC. 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.

"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.

The ubiquitous, strong, glorious, colorful, and omnitri-
umphant RED MASS hereby
challenge any and all other
faculties on the Red Campus,
to a Snow Sculpturing Contest on the lawn in front of
the Library this Thursday at
Noon.
The judging will be carried
out by a fully genuine democratic process which will uphold the spirit of our vast

Any faculty not attending
will be considered apathetic
and subject to the scorn of
all those who have rubric visions of a more inspirational,

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

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.
Conway was dismissed by
the University of Saskatchewan
