Gibson gets council chair

The provincial government appointed a UBC professor as chairman of the Universities Council of B.C. Monday.

Bill Gibson, also a Vancouver city alderman, has had a long professional association with both education minister Pat McGeer and deputy education minister Walter Hardwick.

The council is the intermediary body between the provincial government and the three B.C. universities.

The council is responsible for co- ordinating the planning, develop- ment and financing of the ’universities and their programs.

Gibson was a member of The Electors Action Movement (TEAM) and a TEAM alderman from 1973 to 1974. Hardwick was also a TEAM alderman during this period.

Gibson was parks commission chairman from 1975 to 1976 and is currently an alderman serving on the city’s finance and administra- tion committee.

He has resigned his post a t the university effective last Friday but will keep his seat on city council until the next election.

“There is no need to put the city to the expense of a by-election,” he said Monday. “The last by-election cost the city $60,000.”

Gibson said he could not predict how much money the universities would be getting this year until he meets with other council members.

“I haven’t the foggiest idea at this time. The first meeting is on Friday.”

Gibson said there were many applicants for the post and that his appointment was not the result of past associations with the education minister or deputy minister.

“I saw the advertisement for the job in the Toronto Globe and Mail,” he said.

Gibson replaces William Arm- strong effective March 1.

Armstrong has been appointed a special advisor to the B.C. govern- ment on research policy.

J.V. Clyne declines Persky challenge

Industrialist J. V. Clyne Saturday declined a challenge to a public debate on education from his opponent in the upcoming election for UBC chancellor.

“It’s just not a political issue,” Clyne said after a speech to the Vancouver Institute a t IRC. “I’m not anxious to become chancellor of the university.”

Clyne was responding to a challenge from Stan Persky, college teacher and former student activist, who is running against Clyne in the chancellorship elec- tion.

Persky handed out leaflets before the lecture stating the challenge but he did not issue it verbally a t the question period after the lecture.

“I have challenged J. V. Clyne to engage in a friendly debate on education since this election began,” Persky said in the leaflet. “I challenge him again to such a debate - at a time, place and via the media of his own choice.”

But Clyne said he does not plan to actively campaign for the post. The chancellor has often acted as a figurehead in the past, but he has a seat on the board of governors and

could theoretically exert con- siderable influence. . “If I win this election I will do my best for the university and I’m sure Mr. Persky would do the same.”

Persky condemned Clyne for his passive attitude during the election period, which ends Feb. 24. The election is conducted by mail ballot and all members of the UBC alumni may vote.

“The media has been un- successful in getting Clyne to come

Program fo link graduates, business By JAN NICOL

The provincial government is planning a program which will offer graduate students the chance ko work with local corporations, education minister Pat McGeer said Friday.

McGeer said the program would encourage university students to acquire skills which are useful in today’s . highly technological society. Since becoming education minister, McGeer has stressed the need to put more stress on job-

oriented education, especially in technological and scientific fields.

“Public expenditures and ex- pectations are such that univer- sities must conn.ect with the cammunity,” McGeer told the Education and Employment of Youth conference at the University of Victoria.

“Things which are taught should be able to be applied to tech- nology,’” he said.

McGeer said the government will encourage corporations to

work with university programs. He said a second training

program would give postdoctorate students a government grant to work with a local corporation.

McGeer said the second program would encourage B.C. graduate students to stay in the province and also give small local industries the chance to hire highly trained personnel in technology-related fields.

McGeer said B.C. is experienc- ing a brain drain. He said many

graduate students who graduate from B.C.’s universities go outside the province for employment.

The programs are aimed at stopping this trend.

McGeer said corporations would be encouraged to move to B.C. if the government adopted a program similar to the research triangle a t the University of North Carolina.

He said the North Carolina graduate programs are designed to meet the needs of local cor-

Gears design cheaper solar collector ;:s::z scientists, $146 million of new

By GREG EDWARDS A group of UBC engineering

physics students have designed and built a model solar energy collector they hope will reduce the cost of producing electricity from solar energy.

Richard McMahon, engineering physics undergraduate chairman, said Monday the principle of the model is to use solar energy to heat water to steam and then to produce electricity using steam turbines.

McMahon said this would eliminate the need for fuel-fired generators which use coal, oil or nuclear energy to produce steam.

The main advantage of the UBC project over other methods of harnessing solar energy is its cost.

McMahon said the mirrors used in their project are much cheaper and more efficient than systems using solar cells.

“To produce electricity from solar energy requires expensive solar cells. Solar cells are really inefficient and prohibitively ex- .. : <: \.... . ..../,..... ;, _......... ............ .. . ... . . ~ ~ ~ , ~ , ~ , ~ , ~ , . , ~ ....

pensive, except for military use, or satellites, or similar uses,” said McMahon.

“For our purposes of solar energy collection we’ve used a curved mirror to collect and concentrate the sun’s rays into an intense point of light, which is transformed to heat, then to steam and finally to electricity,” he said.

The uniqueness of the project is the method used for the cheap production of the curved mirrors, McMahon said.

“We placed a flat sheet of plastic into an oven and then heated the plastic until it became soft, and then we blew it up to the shape of a bubble and let it cool to the shape of a bubble,” he said.

This gave us a piece of curved plastic that had to be covered with a reflective surface.

To get the silver-reflective face on the plastic, the curved plastic was put into a vacuum chamber with electrically-powered tungsten

See page 2:- MAKESHIFT ;$&:,*#;w.jg&T;& ..... :.~.:.:.,.:~...~.:.~: .~... ...-. ;-..).

No other province in Canada has implemented this type of program, he said.

McGeer blamed the rise in un- employment among the educated on the unchecked expansion of .universities in the last decade.

McGeer said he is also studying an “open university” program. A similar program, which offers a university education by correspondence, is currently operating in Great Britain.

McGeer said this type of program appeals to “McScrooge” because it costs half as much to deliver an education at home than at a university.

He said he is also considering a program to televise university lectures, citing the success of a program currently operating in Dallas, Texas.

He said one lecturer can be heard at 10 universities and par- ticipating industries by a special television network.

“The lectures are damned good,” he said. “They aren’t going to put a turkey on television.”

Security was tight at Clyne’s speech about the Canadian con- stitution. (See story page 3.)

Security is not usually visible at the lectures, but at this one, given by the former B.C. supreme court. judge, police and university security officers were very much in evidence.

UBC traffic and security patrol officers guarded the door of IRC 2, where the lecture was held, scrutinizing the people entering.

“We have security at the university 24 hours a day, ma’am,” said one when asked why he was there.

Plainclothes policemen were scattered through the hall, dressed in conservative suits, but clearly identifiable by earphones resembling hearing aids.

At least one of them, who said he was an RCMP officer, carried a gun in a hip holster under his jacket.

He said he was there as a “spectator” but would not explain why there were so many other police ,officers there. as “spec- tators.”

Solar energy, unlike wind energy and tidal power, is workable because sun rays contain a high concentration of energy. An average concentration of solar energy during a 24-hour period is 400 watts per square metre of land.

“It has been calculated that solar collectors such as these over an area covering one-twentieth of Arizona could supply all American energy needs.”

Solar energy is collected by the mirrors to concentrate light into a light absorber.

The light absorber is surrounded. by a water jacket within which water is circulated and heated beyond the boiling point to produce steam heat that is contained in the water jacket.

The water jacket is surrounded by a vacuum jacket that insulates the water jacket and prevents heat from escaping, McMahon said.

Delegates to the annual spring conference of the western region of Canadian University Press have elected three people to full-time paid positions for the 1978-79 academic year.

Representatives a t the weekend conference in Edmonton decided to keep 1978-79 CUP fees at the same level as this year in order to hire the three staff people. Some CUP regions have decided to lower fees and hire fewer staff instead.

Clvne wants ” I -

By TOM HAWTHORN Canada’s failure to adopt a new

constitution allowed Rene Levesque to become premier of Quebec, industrialist J. V. Clyne said Saturday.

The former chief executive of- ficer of MacMillan Bloedel said the essence of democracy is that majority opinion should prevail, but that this has not happened in recent Canadian elections.

“It is reasonably certain that Mr. Levesque would not have been elected if the opposing vote had not been fragmented and such fragmentation would not have occurred under any modern electoral system,” Clyne told more than 500 people in IRC.

“The result is that governments creep into power and enact legislation which is contrary to the will of the majority of the elec- torate,” he said.

- - Clyne quoted an article from the

London Economist which said any British prime minister today with a working majority in the house of commons has executive power far beyond those of the U.S. president.

“I think it is clear that the same situation exists in Canada where the true power no longer lies in parliament but rests with the prime minister and his cabinet,” said Clyne .

“We are indeed living, whether we like it or not, under the authority of an executive govern- ment.”

Clyne also attacked Canada’s rigid and undemocratic parlia- mentary system for allowing politicians to be elected by a minority vote. “As I have said, it has become

imperative that Canada should have a new constitution or should vastly alter her present con-

stitution in order to satisfy the legitimate desires of all the provinces of Canada including Quebec.”

Clyne called for a study of the constitutions of other democracies, such as West Germany, Switzer- land and the United States, so that an entirely new constitution could be prepared for Canada.

Clyne was lecturing on The Constitution of Canada - A summing up, as piart of the weekly Vancouver Institute lecture series.

Clyne suggested that a group of experts should hold hearings across Canada and consider the comparative advantages of the constitutions of other countries.

Clyne said the group should consist of experts :in the knowledge of constitutional :law, as well as individuals who have experience in all walks of life and are familiar

with the social and economic life of Canada.

“I had hoped that such a group would be appointed from people active in business and professional life and would be headed by some distinguished constitutional scholar as chief justice Bora Laskin.

“If the Robarts-Pepin Task Force (on Canadian Unity) does not emerge with constitutional recommendations, and that task has not specifically been assigned to them, then I believe it will be necessary to return to the suggestion that a small, competent group of experts be appointed to make recommendations to parliament and the provincial legislatures or to a constitutional assembly as a groundwork for debate,” Clyne said.

Clyne also criticized Canadians

Separatism’will not die, says professor By KIEJOON KIM

The quest for national unity is a waste of time, a political science professor from the University of Quebec said Friday.

Pierre Fournier, author of The Quebec Establishment told an audience of 70 in SUB that the Quebec nationalism issue will never go away.

The idea that a referendum on separation will end the unity debate once and for all is false, said Fournier.

The Parti Quebecois may lose the first separatist referendum, but whatever support separatists receive (probably 30 to 40 per cent) it will be considered a moral victory, he said.

“The first referendum will probably ask a question such as “Do you agree to transfer from Ottawa to the province of Quebec powers in the following areas? (1) com- munication, (2) transportation, and (3) other

. areas,’ ” After the first referendum several others

may follow regarding the means of transfer of power from Ottawa to Quebec, he said.

“There are only two solutions to the

national-unity problem; a total assimilation of Quebec into English Canada, or the in- dependence of Quebec.

“The former cannot be realized now, so the latter is the only viable solution. The soo.ner the latter solution is chosen, the earlier Canada and Quebec can deal with their socio- economic problems and the problems of American economic domination.”

Two relatively strong states must be created, Fournier said.

“And one must shed oneself of the romantic vision of a nation stretching from coast. to coast.”

Fournier said Quebec’s three major provincial parties, the Union Nationale, the Liberals and the Parti Quebecois, all pursue Quebec nationalism.

“All these parties’ philosophies are in- compatible with the notion of a strong cent.ra1 government in Ottawa.”

He said many proponents of national urdty are from Ontario which exports 30 per cent of its manufactured goods to Quebec. “So Ontario is very vulnerable to any re-

,

arrangement of economic relations resulting from a separated Quebec. It is in this light that Levesque is proposing an economic association between Ontario and Quebec, even after the latter’s independence.”

In order to fight Quebec nationalism, prime minister Pierre Trudeau is trying to get the U S . to publicly support the federal govern- ment position on national unity, said Four- nier.

“But Levesque is also wooing the American heart and trying to attain American neutrality on the unity issue. Levesque will probably succeed because the U.S. has learned from Cuba and Chile not to intervene imprudently in other nations’ internal af- fairs.”

But the U S . State Department and the CIA prefer to have one neighbor to the north than two, he said, because a separated Quebec may not participate in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.

“Also the U S . fears that a separated Quebec will allow for a greater development of socialist movements in Quebec,” he said.

for not creating a new constitution in the past.

“It is an amazing example of political ineptitude on the part of the Canadian people that in over 100 years we have not been able to create or amend our own con- stitution,” he said.

“We do not deserve the name or the dignity of a sovereign nation if we cannot alter the constitution under which we are governed, and yet for over half a century prime ministers and provincial premiers have held long and exhaustive conferences in an endeavor to find a formula and have failed.”

Clyne said the use of French must be respected in Quebec but prime minister Pierre Trudeau’s bilingualism policy was a mistake.

“I think it must be admitted on all sides that the bilingual policy in Canada as it has been developed over the last few years has been a costly failure,” he said.

“Canada will never be a bilingual country in the sense that everyone across the continent will be able to converse freely in English and French. It is simply not practical.”

Clyne said English and French should be made compulsory in the primary grades of all Canadian schools. In no case should any child be compelled to be educated in one language as was provided by the provisions of Quebec’s Bill 101, he said.

‘UBC admin stalling on armointment’ m m

By BOB STALEY The UBC administration is

stalling on appointing a temporary dean of women, the Alma Mater Society student services director said Monday.

Dave Jiles said delays in the appointment will make the future dean’s job more difficult.

He said it is important that planning start now for next year and that the interim dean should be involved as soon as possible.

Jiles said it will not be possible for a permanent dean to be ap- pointed until the administration’s student services review committee has completed its report.

The dean of women’s office is I being included in a complete review of all campus student services.

But Jiles said he was told by Eric Vogt, administration vice- president of faculty and student affairs, that he would take steps soon to appoint an acting dean. That was a month ago.

“He (Vogt) is making it difficult for the new appointee to learn the job and plan for next year,” Jiles added.

The UBC women’s office is also concerned about the delays.

Spokeswoman Susan Ursel said, “we are extremely disappointed in the administration’s delay. The delay could be crucial to the quality of job she (the new dean) will do,” Ursel said.

The current dean of women, Margaret Fulton, will be stepping down in July to accept the presidency of Mount St. Vincent University.

The usual procedure when a dean retires is to select a tem- porary dean and conduct a review of the faculty while searching for a permanent replacement, Jiles said.

The search for a new dean can take as long as four to six months as it did in the selection of arts dean Robert Will, he said.

Vogt was unavailable for comment.

Technocrat Pat The provincial education minister is a man obsessed. On Friday Pat McGeer announced his department was

studying the feasibility of offering graduate students grants if their research theses are approved by a local corporation.

McGeer also introduced a program to encourage post-doctorate students to work with local corporations to counter the exodus of highly trained university graduates from this province.

And he revealed yet a third program Friday aiming to create research parks around the province’s universities to. encourage the growth of technological industries in B.C.

McGeer has been hammering on the theme that students should acquire those skills necessary for today’s highly technological society. But that is all he has done.

I he provincial government has wads of dough to spend on the professional and applied sciences but has neglected to a grievous fault the liberal arts and general sciences - the backbone of the other faculties.

McGeer is obsessed with technology. He is experimenting with novel little gadgets such as a special television network to broadcast university lectures and he toys with the idea of an open university, or university by correspondence.

A technocratic work force is not good enough. People must also be educated in the ways their society has evolved, how to deal with technology, other societies, other individuals and with themselves.

A university education based solely on the advancement of technology cannot deal with these issues.

The programs might be good, but only within the framework of solid liberal arts and general sciences programs and not in the face of education cutbacks.

Cop in, cop out J. V. Clyne’s lecture Saturday on what is wrong with

Confederation illustrated quite well what is wrong with Canadian society in general.

We’re not talking about what Clyne said, but we‘re talking about the tight security in evidence a t the Vancouver Institute lecture.

The RCMP were afraid that some people might disrupt Clyne’s chin wag, and of course we do not dispute measures being taken to assure that any speaker a t UBC enjoys that right.

We suspect that the cops and the Vancouver Institute were perhaps a bit too zealous in guarding the rights of Clyne, who is one of the richest and most powerful men in B.C., thanks to his backroom control of MacMillan-Bloedel.

Of course, we must remember that the RCMP, by order of the Liberals in Ottawa, are busy making sure that the freedom of speech of what are called subversives (in other countries, they‘re called dissidents) is as limited as possible.

The Vancouver Institute is, of course, a bunch of bigwigs who toss bits of their enormous wealth together for the Saturday lectures and for selected charities. The institute is a convenient stash for millionaires’ money, which of course becomes tax deductable.

And then they provide a pedestal for people like Clyne, who most of us have heard enough from. The provincial government and others have been busy showering honors on Clyne, such as the Alumni Association nod for chancellor. There are more deserving people, such as Stan Persky, who is opposing Clyne for the chancellor’s job.

Oops, that might be subversive.

Wages have been set a t : waitress, $5.03; bartender, $5.94; Doorperson, $5.75; bookkeeper, $5.77; and bar porter, $5.53. The head waitress will receive 25 cents per hour extra, and the head bartender, 50 cents per hour extra. A health and welfare plan will be supplied by the employer but the employees must bear the premiums until Aug. 1, 1978, after which time the employer will take on 75 per cent of these premiums.

In terms of non-monetary issues, we feel we obtained a good first contract. We were able to negotiate a modified union shop, recognition of seniority, comprehensive scheduling clauses which are related to job security for waitresses, two weeks’ guaranteed leave of absence in addition to vacations, up to six months’ maternity leave and discipline and grievance procedures. We had to forego the paid sick leave at this time in order to better negotiate for higher wages.

Going back to work was difficult after the bitterness that the strike had produced, but we already have noticed the stabilizing force that

A letter to the editor is never complete without a word of criticism. I was very surprised that The Ubyssey didn’t report on the talk given by Richard Guay, an MNA for the Parti Quebecois. I found it even more surprising that the young Ubyssey reporter who was at this event left half way through the lecture because she found it boring.

picket help the first contract has had on our working conditions.

Thank you again for your sup- port. It was your energy and your presence on the line that made it possible for us to win this contract. This is a good beginning for waitresses and it is only through the unity that we experienced on this picket line that waitresses and other unorganized workers can continue to fight for their rights.

SORWUC at Bimini

I believe she should have reported such an important event (PQ members of government don’t come to B.C. too often) and let her audience judge for themselves. This way she might have reported the fact that only 150 people showed up and she could have asked herself why this was so.

I personally cannot find an an- swer except that perhaps people believe they have acquired all in the information they need on French Quebecois from the English media, or perhaps many students just don’t care.

On a happier note, I would like to announce our Third World Week starting Feb. 27 and Native Week starting March 6.

As a preview, the new president of the Canadian International De- velopment Agency will be speaking on campus, March 1 in the SUB auditorium at noon.

Robert M. David chairman, programs committee

Christians face the cross Recent letters to The Ubyssey have defended the Campus Crusade for

Christ’s evangelistic style. They state that their presentation was not a misrepresentation, and that it was in fact scriptural.

Much of this defence seems based on the premise that Christ is the answer to life’s problems and that therefore the presentation was not anti-Christian. I would like to forward my opinion that Jesus Christ is not the answer to life’s problems. Christ offers us the cross of following his example and teachings in our lives.

I feel that anyone who tries to be a Christian in today’s world, to stand up for truth and justice, will find more hardship than happiness. In our affluent society it is easy for us to be quick to point out “Christian hap- piness” but I would be interested in knowing if a black Christian in South Africa feels free from personal problems.

Christ also said that he came to set father against son and mother against daughter: these would appear to me to be personal problems. The theology of the Campus Crusade for Christ can easily become a “wait for the pie in the sky” acquiescence devoid of action.

The concern of other Christians on campus about the recent presen- tation is not based on a desire to criticize for criticism’s sake. My ob- jection is that by presenting the gospel to people who are expecting en- tertainment and by presenting a gospel which is incomplete, the Campus Crusade for Christ is turning people off, and for all the wrong reasons. .

I would really enjoy telling them off “in private,” but how do I go about telling all the people who walked out angry or early that “there is more to it than that?”

delegated the responsibility of fighting their committee to oppose cutbacks in education: By ROB MARRIS

As of last week, the student representative assembly committee to oppose cutbacks in education no longer exists. Thus, at this university right now there is no co-ordinated student group devoted to fighting cutbacks and promoting accessibility to this in- stitution.

Like other members of this now-lapsed committee, I’m disgusted. Disgusted both with SRA reps and with students as a whole.

I’m both saddened and annoyed that students a t this university are so parochial that they are not interested in the cost of, and accessibility to, this university. Some came to a rally last March, the majority did not. I wonder how they can face their younger siblings, and how they will explain their lack of action to their children.

It seems to me that UBC students have the classic symptoms of “I’m all right Jack- itis.” Students who are here can obviously afford to be: most seem to be selfish, spoiled little rich kids from the North Shore, Kerris- dale, Shaughnessy, Dunbar and Point Grey.

They have no sense of accountability to the wider community which pays for their education; no sense that this institution is hugely subsidized by the taxpayers (at about $4,OOO per student per annum) ; no sense that the vast majority of the children of those taxpayers never get a chance to come here, let alone to go to a decent university; and no sense that students should struggle to make this university more open. They have no sense, period.

The SRA committee to oppose cutbacks in education tried in its own small way to change this. We were no knights in shining armor, we were simply people with con-

victions. We had been hoping to get help from the SRA and students in general.

Naive, weren’t we? Through its constituency reps the SRA has

links to the student associations in every faculty on campus. These reps theoretically try to help both the students who are here, and also those potential students who are prevented by structural barriers from being here. Theoretically, that is.

These same SRA reps oversee the spen- ding of hundreds of thousands of. student dollars, but are more interested in questioning a 50-cent expenditure of the women’s committee than in acting on an issue they agree is the major one affecting students present and future.

In discussion and voting at the SRA this past year ,the issue of cutbacks has been a motherhood one. The overwhelming majority of SRA reps have consistently and piously expressed their support of a cut- backs and accessibility fight - so long as they aren’t called upon actually to do something. Fewer than 10 SRA reps - out of more than 50, remember - ever went to so much as one of the meetings of the late committee; only two or three went to more than three or four of the weekly meetings of the committee.

A couple of us tried to get SRA reps to get either themselves or members of their constituencies out to the meetings. They didn’t bother.

That’s the trouble with most of our SRA reps: they’re in it because it’ll look good on their job resumes. Since at the job interview no one will ask if the SRA rep ever actually tried to do anything for their fellow students; why bother?

Perhaps after all our SRA reps do repre- sent students: the shortsighted, socially uncommitted “why bother? I’m okay, I don’t care, just gimme the 80 per cents,” that is. If this is true, it’s a very sad state of affairs a t UBC. A university should be a

Hoop wins too liftle too late, UBC can only finish third

By DON MacINTYRE The UBC basketball Thunder-

birds swept a pair of games from the University of Calgary Dinosaurs in Canada West University Athletic Association action Friday and Saturday evening at War Memorial gym- nasium.

The weekend appearances were the last the ’Birds will make this season before the home crowd.

For UBC it was too little too late, even with the weekend wins. The ’Birds’ record stands at 9-9 and at best they can finish third, not good enough for a playoff spot. Ironically, Calgary, even with the two losses to the Thunderbirds, is at 12-6, a record which gives them second spot and the final playoff berth.

rebounded on the strength of dead-, eye Yawrenko who shot an in- credible 16 for 20 from the field. In a supplemental role Chris Trumpy added 16 to the ’Bird cause.

Saturday’s rematch saw the ’Birds prevail with a 68-64 win.

Calgary mixed zone defences just well enough to keep the Thunderbirds from running away with it, while UBC played man-to- man defence just poorly enough to keep the game close. Neither team was able to control the play, and at times it appeared that neither team wanted to.

Donut sales were down a t the concession in the stands, probably because of the abundance of turn- overs given away on the floor. UBC led in that department as well, giving up the ball 17 times as

Down a t the half, UBC hanging on for the four-point win.

UBC hoep wemen fall te Dinosaurs

By TONY TRIVISANO The UBC Thunderettes basket-

ball team ran into a big and physical Calgary Dinnies’ squad at War Memorial gym over the weekend and the result was a pair of hard-fought 60-49 losses. The Thunderettes could not match the Dinnies in size and weight as the visitors controlled the rebounding boards, getting extra shots time and time again.

On Friday night UBC continued its season-long habit of falling behind early while Calgary coasted to an uninspiring 30-21 half-time lead. In the second half the Thunder-

ettes carried the play, forcing a number of Calgary turnovers and making the visitors look flustered and confused. However, as has often been the case this season, the UBC rally fell short as the Dinnies regained their composure in the final minutes bf the game and went on to preserve the victory.

The key player for Calgary is centre Holly Jackson, who a t 6’1” and 200 pounds is a dominant re- bounding force at both ends of the court. Her style, if not cute and fancy, is effective in intimidating opponents underneath the boards and was the main reason Calgary outrebounded UBC by a two-toone margin.

In the scoring department UBC’s Margot McCullough led all scorers with 13 points while Karen Banfield chipped in with 10.

For the visitors Holly Jackson had 12 points and Jacky Shaw 2. In Saturday’s loss UBC came up

with one of its better performances of the year as they totally dominated the Dinnies in the first half. The Thunderettes outhustled the visitors and displayed rare outside shooting accuracy en route to a 36-28 half-time lead.

In the second half the punishing Calgary play finally took its toll as the Thunderettes were outmuscled for the ball and could not keep up with the Dinnies. Calgary wore down UBC in the final stages of the game but to their credit the Thunderettes never stopped trying and played with intensity to the end.

UBC’s inability to put together a complete game was echoed by coach Gay Coburn.

“We’re a one-half ball team and this typifies our whole season,” said Coburn.

Jacky Shaw and Holly Jackson were again the top scorers for Calgary with 16 and 10 points respectively.

For UBC Jane Broatch had 16 points and Lorna Calancie 2.

Next weekend the Thunderettes conclude their regular season when they travel to Saskatchewan to play the University of Saskat- chewan Huskiettes. After that it’s off to rainy California for an in- vitational tournament in early March.

Dinos drop Puck ‘Birds . Mental errors and costly penalties caused the downfall of the UBC

Thunderbird hockey team in Calgary as they were dumped 5-4 and 3-2 by the University of Calgary Dinosaurs.

The games meant nothing in the standings as Calgary has missed the playoffs and UBC has clinched second place and the right to meet Alberta Golden Bears in post-season play.

UBC appeared to have control of Friday’s game when they took a 3-0 lead, but Calgary came back and deadlocked the game 4-4 in the third period. The ’Birds lost their poise and allowed Calgary to score the winner with just over a minute remaining. Dick Jellema with a pair and Derek Williams and Jim Stuart with singles scored for UBC.

Saturday UBC blew a 2-0 first-period lead as Calgary scored three unanswered goals. The Dinosaurs effectively shut down the potent UBC power play.

“We just couldn’t hold the lead,” said UBC coach Bert Halliwell. “We made some costly mental errors, took too many penalties, and it cost us the games.”

UBC will play Alberta in early March for the Canada West title.

Detracting from the impact of the Thunderbird victories was the fact that Calgary’s top gun, 6’4” Greg Hess, did not make the trip.

High scoring honors were shared by the Dino’s Lyle Leslie and Bruce Wright with 111 points each. Wright potted 12 of his total in the second half, and 10 of those 12 in the last five minutes.

The ’Birds have to win their two remaining league games if they hope to salvage a record which will equal last year’s.

The Thunderbirds will travel to Saskatchewan next weekend where they will take on the University of Saskatchewan Huskies in the final )two games of this year.

By TOM BARNES The Thunderbird rugby team got

back on the winning track by dropping their old nemesis, the UBC Old Boys, 17-11’ Saturday afternoon at Thunderbird Stadium. The game brought two of the finest backfields in the country together and the result was the most wide open game of the year.

Since the Old Boys were formed three seasons ago by UBC graduates, the ’Birds had only beaten them once until Saturday. The win was important for UBC in other ways. It was a good way to rebound from last week’s loss on the Island against James Bay. It produced the forwards’ best game o f the year in the loose. And, finally, it has the team rolling in !.he proper direction with McKechnie cup play resuming this .Saturday.

Centre Jim Burnham opened the scoring when he took a neat pass from standoff Garry Hirayama and went 20 metres for the score. Winger Don Halliday converted and UBC led 6-0.

Peter Calhoun brought the Old Boys right back into the game when he scored an unconverted try off an overlap from 30 metres out. Before the half was out prop Dennis Carson restored the ’Birds’ six-point lead when he took a pass from winger Ian Leach inside the five and bounced over the line.

Early in the second half Halliday hit on a penalty kick to put UBC up 13-4, their biggest margin of the day.

The Old Boys came back with a penalty goal by Tim Lott and a try from Barry Legh.

Burnham put the game away for UBC when he squibbed the ball through an Old Boy defender for Leach to gather in and carry over for the try.

The win moved UBC’s record to 13-2-2 for the season, better than almost everyone thought possible early ‘in the year.

The ’Birds will play in Victoria this week, meeting the Victoria Crimson Tide in second round McKechnie Cup play.

We as Christians on Campus would like to share with you what a real Christian is. We feel that those who know the Lord as well as those who have not had a real experiencial life with the Lord, deserve t o clearly understand this qatter of being a Christian which is of such great significance. Some may have misconceptions such as: 1) “I was born a Christian, I’ve been one all my life.” 2) “Yes, I go to church all the time.” 3 ) “I think that all you have to d o is try to do your best, and God will understand.” 4) “I was raised a Christian.” 5) “According to my own definition I am a Christian, but maybe not by yours.” Because of this situation we would like to present a Biblical definition of what a Christian is and how to become one according to God’s pure Word. As you will see for a person to become a Christian is not a small thing. We trust that as you read this article the Holy Spirit will make real to you this wonderful Person, Jesus Christ as the way, the truth and the life. T o commence we would like to go back to the beginning, eternity past, to see what was deep within God’s heart.

God’s Desire For Man The creation of the universe by God was something marvelous. The earth itself was so wonderful that at its inception, “the morning stars sang together,” and all the angels “shouted for joy’’ (Job 38:7). Nevertheless God wasn’t finished. There was still a desire deep within Him. Finally, when everything was ready, God formed Man. Man, in the image of God, is the apex, the very pinnacle of God’s creation! Nestled in a marvelous environment that would fully meet his physical needs, man was so much the joy of Gods heart that He proclaimed “very good‘’ and even rested from all His work (Gen. 1 :26-2:2). O f all God’s creation, only man is in His image. Just as a glove is madc in the image of a hand to contain the hand, so man was made in the image of God t o contain Him. The great, eternal purpose of God would be fulfilled through man (Eph. 3: 10-1 1). God’s intention was that man, created as a vessel and with a spirit within him (Zech. 12: 1 ; I1 Cor. 4:7), would receive the very life of God into his being. To accomplish this, man was placed in front of the tree of life, and by eating of this tree he would receive the life that could fulfill God’s plan (Gen. 2:g-g) .

Man’s Need for God Before this plan was consummated, however, there was a severe interruption. God’s subtle enemy, as a serpent, came in to deceive and corrupt man. At Satan’s suggestion, man disobeyed God and partook of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil (Gen. 3: 1 - 6 ) . This transgression had serious consequences! Through his disobedience man was separated from the righteous God, leaving himself in a position of condemnation and judgment (Isa. 59:2; Rom. 5 : 18). Even more serious, is the fact that sin and death entered in through this offense to spoil man and constitute man as an unfit vessel to contain God’s life (Rom. 5: 12). Thus man was not only alienated from God but his very nature became sinful. As one person put it, “it’s not only the water splashing over the outside of the well that is serious, but it’s the contamination on the inside.” How much we need a deeper realization that through this fall, man became contaminated on the “inside”. Furthermore, what Adam experienced has been passed on to all men (I Cor. 15:22). The Bible says that we are “carnal, sold under sin” and that “sin dwells in us” (Rom. 7:14, 17). I t further states that this sin that dwells in our physical members operates as a “law” and always brings us into its captivity (Rom. 7:23). Oh, how demanding and unyielding is this law! Have you ever tried to do the things your conscience knows are right, only t o find another “law” dragging you into weakness and failure? How often have we tried our best, resolved to change, or determined to “turn over a new kat”’! Our best intentions, even i n trying t o please God, are short-lived and frustrated. The law of sin and death, as persistent as the law of gravity, has brought man i n t o spiritual weakness and death. Because man has a fallen nature, it is therefore inevitable that he sins. Our history of committing sins is testified to both by scripture and also by the guilt we feel in our own conscience. “For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God” (Rom. 3:23) . How desperately man needs God to intervene and rescue him, restoring man to God‘s original intention!

God’s Provision - Christ’s Death Altl~ough man had been damaged and corrupted, he was still on God’s heart. Somehow, man needed to be brought back to God, to become one with God. Man.

having been separated from God, could never approach Him, so God Himself became a man (John 1: 1, 14). What a loving God! What condescension! To redeem man He became fully identified with the object of His redemption! We are men of flesh and blood and he partook of the same. He was made like us in all things (Heb. 2:14-18). God did not stay aloof and apart from man and his situation. In His incarnation, Christ fully participated in the human nature, yet without sin (Heb. 4: 15).

Not only did Christ become identified with us by becoming a man. but also. when Jesus Christ was crucified and His blood was shed. I t was n o longer necessary for our sins to stand between us and God! He has “made purification o f sins” (Heb. 1 : 3 Gk.). His sacrificial death dealt with the sins of the whole world ( 1 John 2: 2). O h what a mighty and prevailing death! Toward God, “the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin” ( 1 John 1 :7), and in our own conscience, this same blood purlfies us (Heb. 9.14). What a release! Have you ever experienced such a thing? Have you ever longed t o be .absolutely free from every sin that you might boldly approach God and enjoy Him’? There is no need for psychological cover-up or manoeuvering. The blood of Jesus is available to cleanse us f rom all sin! When Christ died, the enmity that had come in between man and God was abolished: For, “when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son” (Rom. 5:lO). The holiness and righteousness of God that had been offended by man’s sin, were fully appeased by the sinless offering of Jesus. Now, those who have believed in Him “have peace with God, through our Lord Jesus Christ” (Rom. 5:l). The death of Jesus Christ was not an insignificant historical event. I t is because of this that we. right now, can have complete peace with God! According to Romans 5: 10; we were reconciled to God through Christ’s death. Yet we cannot stop here, for there is much more.

”Much More” - Christ’s Lige This same verse, Romans 5:10, goes on to say. “much more we shall be saved by His life”. Reconciliation is based on Christ’s death. It has solved all our negative problems that we may have peace. God’s salvation however, is not merely to solve our negative problenls but “much more” to give us all of His positive riches. This is accomplished by the “much more” life, which is simply the resurrected Christ. Jesus said, “I have come that they might have life, and have it more abundantly” (John 10:10), and “I am the resurrection and the life” (John 11:25). Positively, God’s salvation emphasizes that the very Son of God has come inside us to be our -life (Col. 3:4). The key, however, is not just to know about this life in an objective way, but to get it into us. This initial experience is called regeneration and happens simultaneously when we are reconciled to God (Ti tus 3:5). To be regenerated is simply to receive another life, to be born anew. Jesus once told an educated, old gentleman, “Except a ma? be born anew, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God” (John 3:3). To be in the animal kingdom requires the animal life. and to be in the human kingdom requires the human life. Likewise, to enter into the kingdom of God requires the divine life. To be born of the Spirit is to enter God’s kingdom (John 3:5). Through this life-giving Spirit of Jesus Christ, men may now contact and enjoy God. This is absolutely not a matter of behavioral improvement or modification, it is a matter of being born again with the life of God. T h ~ s is the product of Christ’s resurrection. Just like a hand filling up a glove, God can now get His life into man. What a heavenly concept, that God would impart His very life into us! This is the most wonderful experience that a numan being can have! Being born again is not just something nebulous, nor is it merely a feeling or an influence. It is meeting another person and having this person come to live inside of you. Little wonder that the Bible says that a Christian is a n e w creation ( I1 Cor 5: 17 Gk.)! I1 Corinthians 13:5 solidly affirms that Jesus Christ is in a Christian.

Neither must we stop with merely receiving this life. Now that we have i t . we must let it grow and mature in us. We do not need to change ourselves, we merely need to let the Lord Jesus live in us. His life-giving Spirit will transform us! (IlCor. 3 : 18). Galatians 2:20 says, “. . . I live, yet not 1, but Christ lives in me.” This is our experience and enjoyment. He not only died for us but He also lives for US,

spontaneously doing the things that we could never do. This is real salvation. In fact, we may experience Christ to such an extent that He makes His home in our hearts (Eph. 3:17 Gk.). Thus a new “law”, more powerful than the old. is now working in us. “For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death” (Rom. 8:2) . We are now “free” by a higher law, the law of the Spirit of life! This is tremendous, and this is the experience of a real Christian.

INVITATION Whenever an invitation is afforded, be it to a dinner, or a wedding, etc., there Christ has accomplished. “If thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord is the implication that everything has been provided for by the one giving the Jesus, and believe in thine heart that God has raised Him from the dead, thou invitation. Becoming a Christian is simply to respond to the invitation. shalt be saved. For with the heart man believes unto righteousness, and with Through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, everything necessary to the mouth confession is made unto salvation” (Rom. 10:9-10). If you would bring us back to God’s high purpose for man has been provided. Through like t o receive God’s life into your being, speak to the Lord saying, “Lord Christ’s death full redemption has been made, and by His resurrection His life Jesus, thank you for your divine love. I accept your death as God’s provision has been made available. What is left t o d o is receive and appropriate what for me, and I receive you right now as my Lord, life, and Savior.”
