On Tuesday, December 3rd, three BCIT representatives met with provincial government of- ficials to elaborate further on BCIT issues.

P e t e r Munsie, Bob Biggs, and Brian Johncox (executive repre- sentatives) met with Mr. Bro- thers (Minister of Education), Mr. Chant (Minister of Public Works), Mr. Webb (Deputy Mini- s t e r of Education),. Mr. White (Director of Technical Educa- tion), Mr. Lavery (Superintend- ent of Schools in B.C.), Mr. Reid (Deputy Superintendent), and Mr. Harding WrafficDepartment of Highways).

T h e representatives present- ed further information in the four mat ters discussed at BCIT l a t e last month. The matters concerning the traffic, multi- purpose complex, residences, and bank complex.

TRAFFIC The executive indicated traf-

f ic problems at BCIT and pre- sented the “Traffk Film.” Gov- ernment representatives were v e r y impressed with the report, and saw the need for access

TEMPORARY GYMNASIUM By JOHN HORBATCH

The temporary g y m nasium (Butler Building) is now under construction, but because of wea- ther and other difficulties, the project will not be ready by Chr is tmas as planned.

Mr. White, Director of Tech- nical and Vocational Education, however, stated that “The But-

ler Building will be ready by Apr i l 15th and that BCIT will be able to use the temporary facilities until Phase I1 of the multi-purpose complex has been completed.”

The purpose of the open house is to publicize BClT students. BCIT has been termed as “one of B.C.’s well kepfsecrets.”The open house will open the doors to business and the public so as to allow them to tour the fa- ci l i t ies and meet the students.

For all graduates, this func- tion will prove to be the most memorable.

MULTI-PURPOSE BUILDING During the four year life of

the K I T , the student population has increased about sixfold. Stu- dent participation in athletic, cultural and social activities has matched and probably exceeded this growth rate. For athletic activities alone the average turn- out is now about 250 students p e r week.

Next year, with no extension of facilities beyond the tempor- a r y use of the BCVS Butler Build- ing now under construction, this number is expectedtoincreaseto 480.

The Forum staff now have in- structions that on any further behavior of this sort, they are to call the police immediately. If this measure has to be taken, i t would be necessary to cancel the ice you have booked f o r the rest of the year. -

PN E The supporters of your team turned out well equipped with liquor, t e m p e r s and choice words. It seems that they came for a marathon drinking session - not a hoqkey game.

Incidents were numerous, such as the throwing of a beer bottle on the ice and continual fights t h e y wished to engage in with t h e SFU hockey t ra iner , mem- bers of the Clansmen, and the referees.

The height of sportsmanship w a s the throwing of beer on t h r e e female spectators, who had cheered for SFU. Apparently anyone who is a spectator at a game in which BCIT plays MUST cheer for BCIT!

In all likelihood, BCIT spec- t a t o r s lack the maturity to par- t ic ipate in athletic endeavours. If these spectators were repre- sentative of the sportsmanship - .- . .~ . - of BCIT, you have my utmost your co-operation.

The following letter is written as an appendix to the piece of humor entitled “Advance Kisso- logy.” This well called informa- t ive paper appeared in the BCIT sheet of two issues past.

One very important and signi- ficant type of kiss was errand- ously ommitted. This type fol- lows thus:

Mining Trips The highlights for third te rm

mining students have been the three very informative field trips. The first two were to Anaconda's Brittania Beach pro- perty.

On November 5th, the class was given a complete tour of the surface installations, a r a r e treat. It is not often one gets the opportunity to thoroughly exam- ine a functioning museum with a team of experts willing to an- s w e r every question.

Britannia built its surface plant a t t he turn of the century, and much of the machinerydates back to this period. The machines were never replaced in recent years , a s the operating future of the property was uncertain. Only in the last few months have they made a discovery which has encouraged management to think of a 20 year operating future.

On the 18th of November, 23 returned a complete tour of the underground workings. I doubt i f there is any mine in the world which employs as many mining methods to extract o r e from the host rock.

After both tours, we were t reated to some welcome re- freshments and bombarded the mine management with all the questions that came to mind. A l l the points raised received courteous, concise and frank an- s wers.

On Monday, December 2nd, the c l a s s was trated to a tour of C raigmont Mines. Craigmont i s a new mine with all the most modern equipment inuseon stan- d ardized production methods. T h e short history of the mine is an extremely interesting one, in that they have encountered a host of problems resulting from most unobliging ground condi- tions. Twice they were forced t o cancel mining methods, and s t a r t from scratch.

When we arrived we received a thorough briefing on t h e whole operation. (One of the speak- ers was a graduate of las t year.) Each department covered their i r e a in detail with the accent on

By MIKE WILLIAMS

t h e problems they had encounter- e d.

In the briefing room were the ingenious models they had built t o help evaluate the new methods developed, and it is interesting that engineers come from as far away as Australia to study the mining methods employed.

Tuesday we were up bright and ear ly for a tour of the un- derground working areas , with questions over lunch and an ex- amination of ail surface installa- tions in the afternoon. At 3:30, an exhausted class clbimed onto a bus for the long trip back.

Thank you Anaconda, thank yc P l a c e r Development, tough luc.> bus dr iver - we have a couple m o r e t r ips next term!

Chem and M e t travelled with u s to Britannia once, and also visited Craigmont. T h e y also wish to thank the two compan- i e s for the most informative tours and the excellent hospital- ity.

In both classes, the tours have cast a new light onthe respective courses , and an idea of the excit- ing industry they are about to enter.

WiHe and Pizzu Party By WINO

On Saturday, the 18th of No- vember, the rugby club held a wine and pizza party at the Scot- t i s h Auditorium. It was hoped that the Royal Roads rugby team would be able to attend, but an untimely parade rehearsal forc- ed them to return home that night and almost promoted the f i r s t mutiny in the Academy's h i s tory.

This function was a change from the standard BCIT dance,

Music was provided by an open juke box which played non-stop t o the end.

The bartenders were over- worked during the free wineper- iod and it was evident that no one made a hog of themselves (no corpses to dodge on the dance floor).

A l l that seems important is his ability to memorize and regurgi- t a t e material which may or may not be of interest to him. This authoritarianism is reinforced by our society‘s reliance upon t h e educational system to cer- t i f y persons for employment. The student has to accept the pre- s e n t teaching systems if he is t o receive a degree, which in turn is necessary for a job.

Our present education system does little to encourage the de- velopment of an individual who is capable of forming meaning- ful relationships with his fellow man. In our “mass society” t h e r e is too much emphasis put o n secondary relations. Science and technology are s t ressed and yet these a r e the exact fields of knowledge that threaten our v e r y existence on earth today. I t has been predicted that it is only through a new intensive study of the Humanities that man wil l be able to save himself - ye t this is the very area which is presently being neglected.

It is necessary for u s to ac- qui re technical knowledge, cer- tainly, but a t the s a m e t ime we must learn to relate this know- ledge to our personal exper- iences so that we can grasp the implications of i ts use. Sci- ence, it is true, has done and will continue to do a lot: of good f o r our society, but through the study of the Humanities man may learn to control science and s teer it into constructive channels.

Our academic communities must begin to be concerned with t h e development of individuals who question the “norms” and “values” of our society - who

s e e k to understand rather than accept blindly. For th i s devel- opment to occur, students must have greater freedom to choose t h e direction of their education. They must learn to fulfill their needs in t e r m s of the whole so- ciety; not merely in t e r m s of i t s wage-earning aspects.

However, t o achieve this free- dom of development, the students must be willing to accept the responsibility. They must begin t o participate in the decisions - that affect their learning environ- m ent. This means participation i n academic government on a representative basis. Thei r pow- e r to help make decisions will bring to the fore students’ pro- posals and cr i t ic isms which have long fallen upon deaf ears. It will also create among students a n awareness of and interest in t h e academic community, acom- munity which until now h a s en- couraged only apathy. This does not by any means say there should be a complete take-over b y students, but does mean there should be a significant participa- tion at all levels of decision- making. It should be fully real- ized that the academic com- munity must be governed by those groups which contribute to it, f r o m both within and without.

If the students and the faculty, the back-bone of the education system, were given the power t h e y should have, they could best s t r i v e towards a learning pro- cess which will fulfill the needs of the individual in society. They can then realize the principal goal of education and serve to- day‘s society by developing the full potential of all i ts citizens as free, creative, thinking and acting human beings.

The SYSTEM -- By KEN LEGGE

A s exams draw closer and the year comes to a swift and final end, the question - “Did I pass?” will be soon answer- ed. But is that the question, should it not be “Did I fool them?”, o r better still, “Did I beat the system?”

These questions may sound s i l l y to a few, but to many it is exactly what they are asking themselves.

BCIT has created a system of Technologies whereby a per-

t o each group. The result being, one student copies his friend’s and after a few weeks, once the work multiplies itself, copying becomes essential to survive.

Thus it all comes down to the last where the system is put to test.

Af te r marks, those who have not passed look back and see where they failed.

Did he fail the course or the system? In order to pass, must

son takes all his classes with w e beat the course or take the the same students. Homework, easier way (for it is very easy) assignments and labs are given and beat the system?

There has been a lot of con- t roversy in past issues regard- ing certain garbed areas of the neck. Now, without becoming too emotional about all this, in fact, by remaining perfectly calm, one c a n rationally come to grips with this titanical problem.

I have heard of a little old man in Sweden who, f o r a price, wil l permanently attach an aard- vark‘s umbilical cord to the eso- phagus. Now what good is an aard- vark‘s umbilical cord attached to t h e throat?

It is a little known fact that this portion of the aardvark‘s ana- tomy is completely odourless - thus flies and other ferocious insects have no affinity for it. It is also crease resistant and s ta ins are completely absorbed by the sub-cutaneous fatty tis- sue. The only maintenance re-

Special thanks for this Gtiess Who interview should gotoBruce Nelson, I two lovely ladies - Carole Day and Bev Melmyk, Cra ig McDowall of MCM and Associates, and of course, the Guess Who. Thank you all.

F i r s t off, a little background information about the Guess Who would be very useful. In 1962, Gary Peterson (drums), J im Kale (bass), and Randy Backman (gui- tar) , plus Chad Allan (guitar- vocal) and an unkonw piano-organ player, were in a group called “Chad Allan and the Impres- sions.” They released a few records: “Shy Guy” - 1963, and “Stop Teasing Me” - 1964.

These release$ established the group as a top group across the midwest. Then came the big one - “Shaking Al l Over,” which h i t the scene in early ’65, and became an international giant. It w a s a hit all across North Ame- rica and in at least 30 other countries.

Af te r “Shaking All Over,” the group underwent a few changes. Chad Allan left, is did the organ- pianist. These two were replaced b y Burton Cummings, who sings, plays the guitar, organ, flute, mouth harp, and along with Randy Backman, writes most of the material.

The Guess Who are now Bur- ton Cummings, Randy Backman, J im Kale and Gary Peterson. With the changes now complete, they released “ H i s Girl.” which

Winter Driving...

Winter driving can be fun if you remain alert and recognize chan- g e s in driving conditions. If, how- e v e r , you do get into difficulty, you should take correct ive action. This action may be necessarily immediate o r it can be thought out depending on the situation.

One of the main causes of frustration for winter dr ivers is lack of adhesion. The t e r m adhesion may be broken down into side-bite a t d traction, Side- bi te determines your ability to s t e e r anfi t r a c t i m determines

That is, you should counter-steer or s teer I K T C theskid.This simplymeans you should keep t h e front wheels pointed in the direction you wish t o travel. Whi le taking this cor- rect ive action, you should not touch the brakes. When you are back to a straight path again you m a y apply the brakes.

To apply the brakes on a slip- p e r y surface you should “pump” o r “jab” t h e brake pedal rapid- ly. This prevents your wheels f r o m locking and gives the quick- e s t stop under these circum- stances.

Remember, if you lock the wheels you will cause them to s l ide and thus reduce traction. Hence, your stopping distance wil l increase.

Some of the pitfalls of the skid m a y be eliminated by being aler t and conscientiously watching for hints about the road surface. Snow is easy to detect but ice may not be. When the temperature de- c reases , watch for shiny black- top o r listen to the sound of the interaction between the t i res and t h e road.

Shiny black tip is a good indi- cation of ice. Dry or well drain- ed black top gives a high-fre- quency sound; ice tends to lower t h e frequency o r muffle this sound.

It is sometimes useful to re- member that bridges freeze be- f o r e black top. Bridges are iso- lated from the earth and, there- fore , cool more quickly than the road surface with any decrease in air temperature. Therefore, approach bridges with caution whether they are within a curve o r not.

One slow speed trick to check the road surface - although cer-

tainly not fool proof, is to ac- celerate quickly and check for wheel spin. Another is to t r y the brakes and hence determine adhesion.

When driving in snow remem- ber to t r y and keep moving, for momentum is very important. Once you lose momentum you

have the maximum inertia work- ing against you.

If you do become immobile in snow, there are a few hints that m ay help.

First, play it cool. Burying t h e accelerator will not help. A spinning wheel will amost cer- tainly worsen matters. Instead, s tudy the situation, Walk around the car and look for helpful implements. A piece of wood, branches, adiscardedcarton may be used to place under the spin- ning wheel, and old fence-post makes a good lever. Remember tiough, I I ~ - E T allow a person to s$~a*;d b e h m i L:iL? car i f scrne-

m a y be placed in front of the driving wheels.

If these are not available, you s t i l l may be able to dig yourself out. The scoop-like base of a bumper jack found in most Am- er ican cars can make a useful shovel.

Above all remember - easy with the gas. T ry to feed power as slowly and evenly as possible.

Winter driving can be fun, but you must use caution, and t r y to anticipate trouble before i t de- velops. A good rule of thumb f o r v in te r driving is to leave a cushion of space all around YOU,

WINONA PARK NOVEMBER 23rd 1:30 P.m. BCIT PANTHERS 18 ROYAL ROADS 0

The Panthers easily defeated Royal Roads by four tries and two conversions to nil.

Right from the beginning of the g a m e it was known BCIT was the super ior team.

After 10 minutes of play, a good passing move by the backs resulted in a try, scored by Bill Muir.

After that Doug Lanaway cut through to score Panthers’ sec- ond try. Royal Roads hardly broke

out of their half and were on the defensive continually.

Jus t before half time, 8th man Peter Collier scored a t r y from a set scrum near Roads’ goal line.

Paul Johnson converted two of these lines.

In the second half, Roads made a better showing and went on the attack a little more, but BCIT took most of the initiative.

Paul Johnson got the ball in a loose scrum, broke through and touched down. He also converted h i s try. The Panthers played a good game.

P ANT HE l?S 2b U OF VIC 6

In their last scheduled game, t h e Panthers were out for a big win. They steamrolled a fighting U V i c side with four t r ies , two penalties and three conversions t o two penalties.

Tries were scored by Bodell Jones, Dick McNicol, Don Ingle- dew and Dave Goyette. Paul John- son missed only one kick out of all those attempted. Victoria res- ponded with two penalty kicks in t h e second half.

It was surprising to see the team played their best game of t h e season despite the fact that severa l of the self-acclaimed s t a r s came out with weak ex-

son that we played so well was that we were without these “glory boys.”

No t r ies have been scored against the Panthers in their last three games. The only game t h e y lost all season was to UBC. There is some confusion regard- ing league standings right now, t h e Ubyssey newspaper announc- ed that their team won t h e lea- gue title.

It’s s t range that a campus newspaper rules the inter-col- legiate league, or is it a coach trying t o win a league politi- cally? Regardless of champion- ships, we play rugby to enjoy the on-field competition.

The rugby game is too rough C U S e S so that they could watch f o r politics to enter it, serious football on TV. Perhaps the rea- injur ies could easily result.

By September, 1969, the re- cently constructed playing field should be regularly available for soccer and rugby matches and f o r additional training sessions.

It is understood that there should be about 2,800 day stu- dents attending the institute at this time.

At present, the outdoor athlet- ics activities include two rugby teams, one soccer team and a ladies field hockey team in extra mura l competition and a full pro- g r a m of competitive intra-mural football.

Possible locations are across t h e creek east of the main field o r north of the library. The for- m e r seems preferable because of i t s greater area available and proximity to the existing field.

The increasing numbers at the institute lead u s to ask also for the building of six tennis courts and two squash courts.

Flakes of snow gently added a deeper and deeper cushion to the moat of mud that protects the innocent (?) students of BCIT f r o m the sinister, cruel world outside. These students had as- sembled in their favorite refuge (Villa) to do research for their assignment in Work Study on how many glasses of the frothy, ambered brew could be consum- ed without finding the state of inebriation. Needless to say, few of the determined researchers found the climatic point between sobriety and inebriation.

That i s , all had assembled at the Villa except for the elite, known a s the Student Council Executive. They had stolen away unnoticed into the Board Room of the insti-tute. They made cer- ta in that the door to the room w a s barred so no unwelcome intruder would burst in to in- te r rupt their ser ious discus- sions. Little did it mat ter to them that no sensible student would ever have thought the busi- n e s s and decisions reached by these all-powerful beings during s e c r e t meetings such as this, w a s important enough to crash into the Board Room. It was well accepted that the rambling dialogue amounted to nothing but boredom.

The Rt. Honourable Briancox put down his scriptures, entitled T H E TEN COMMANDMENTS OF HOW NOT TO BE AN EFFEC- TIVE LEADER. He raised his hand, and the assembled execu-

t ive granted him permission to be seated or to leave the room, whiever was most pressing to him. He chose to be seated, but specified that the urge to leave t h e rocm might well arise, and he did not want to commit himself o n the issue, as is his tendency.

“Today,” Rt. H o n o u r a b l e Briancox began, in the mostpre- sidential-like manner, “we are assembled to pass judgment as t o whether o r not our student body shall offer recognition to Santa Claus.”

Honourable Ed Donjuancyck objected, “Who cares? I’d rather see Honourable Sunset Dorge put on her usual show.” He then proceeded to clap frantically, for h e had accustomed himself to t h e rule that the louder you clapped, the more would come off.

T h e Rt. Honourable Briancox stated that, though Honourable Dorge put on a great show, the i ssue of Santa Claus must be settled.

Honourable Duckvale was quite disturbed by the i s s u e being brought up, commenting: “How c a n we question the existence of Santa Claus?”

Rt. Honourable Briancox in- formed, “We do not deny Santa C laus’ existence. We’re only go- ing to decide whether or not we shall recognize him.”

Honourable Bib Boggs advised, “Before we get to an all-out se r ious discussion on Santa C laus’ recognition, we should ......................................................................................................................... ......................................... ............................................. ........................................................................... ........................................

Honourable Dunsie brought the i s s u e of Santa Claus to a head by stating: “NO democratized body has ever passed legislation to recognize Santa Claus, there- fore , Santa Claus is a vicious being, implanted by some ruth- less dictatorship to destroy our democratic way of life.”

Honourable Twong concurred with the statement and added: “Why should we offer recogni- tion to Santa Claus when the man h a s never come up before the executive to gain approval to opera te within this institute?”

Rt. Honourable Briancox then informed the executive that he had sent numerous letters, on BCIT Student Association sta- tionary, and as yet Santa Claus had not rendered him the cour- t e s y of a reply.

T h e assembled group then mo- ved into a new frame of ser ious discussion with H o n o u rable Twong questioning, “Will t h e stu- dent newspaper, The Stink .. .”
