‘Are Frosh Competent?’ Students’ Council Asks Freshman competent to sit

on a university committee was called into question a t Mon- day night’s students’ council meeting.

The controversy arose from a letter from President Mal- colm G. Taylor requesting the Alma Mater Society to select three representatives to a new Advisory Committee to the President on University Af- fairs.

A th le t i c s representative Bcb Taylor objected when

-.- council president Dave Mc- Lean suggested that the three students be a council member, a first-year student, and a student selected a t large.

Taylor and treasurer Keith Myers felt that freshmen were not endowed with suffi- cient knowledge of university

affairs to fairly represent the student body on the commit- tee.

McLean called such a dis- tinction between first year and other students “ridiculous”.

Secretary Sue Evans was supported by several other council members and observ- ers when she pointed out that Dr. Taylor was not looking for expertise from the student representatives but rather a sampling of student feeling. The confusion felt by 1800 frosh was as legitimate an at- titude as more astute student opinions, councillors support- ing frosh participation on the committee thought.

The conflict was resolved when clubs director Pete Gib- son moved that Frank Frke-

tich be the council appointee, with the responsibility for finding the two other student members.

I t was understood that a first-year student would be chosen if a suitable applicant appeared.

Purpose of the committee, according to Dr. Taylor’s let- ter, is to make certain that each of several areas of the university “ i s conversant with the thinking of the oth- ers and that I (Dr. Taylor) should have the benefit of in- formation and advice from all of them.”

To this end, representatives from joint faculties, Senate, the board of governors, and the graduate students’ society will sit on the committee.

Conspiracy to Perform At Annual Frosh Bash

Weekend’s frosh activities begin tonight with the Frosh Dance at 9 p.m. at the Esquimalt Sports Centre. San Fran- cisco’s acid-rock band, the Peanut Butter Conspiracy, is topping the bill. Victoria’s Blues X Five will also play. Dress is informal to semi-formal.

A second dance is also being held this evening at the Purple Onion. Tickets for this are available in the SUB office. Music is by the Pharaohs and dress is semi-formal.

Meanwhile, Uvic students are madly sharpening saws, axes, nail files, and anything else with a cutting edge.

The reason for it all is the University’s annual log saw, to be held Saturday afternoon at Clover Point.

Once again, more than a thousand lumberjacks and jills are expected to turn up to hack-perhaps even hew-at drift- wood on the beach.

Many Victoria residents take the chance to stock up on firewood at a dollar a load. All proceeds go to the Community Chest.

As the sun goes down, those tired woodsmen who still have the energy will hobble to the Student Union Building for an outdoor barbecue. At the spit will be Chancellor R. B. Wilson and President Malcolm Taylor, backed by a squad of deputy chefs from academic and administrative ranks.

After supper and folksingers frosh and others will dance to Victoria’s leading blues band, the Blues X Five, in the library parking lot.

BURNABY (CUP)-S’ lmon Fraser council president Greg Hicks won a council battle to be re-imbursed for expenses incurred in travelling to the CUS congress in London, On- tario, after the summer stu- dent council had earlier voted not to send him.

a Parking Permits Needed Or Fines Start Monday

If you don’t have that parking permit yet you’d bet- ter pick one up before Mon- day or it could get expensive.

The university administra- tion has announced that the parking tickets will be issued in earnest next week to all cars without stickers.

If you get caught don’t despair. Amendments to the university’s parking regula- tions have made provision for fine reductions if offend- ers pay within 48 hours.

Prior to the amendments violations resulted in auto- matic $2 fin e s, however prompt payment now earns a 50 per cent reduction.

But there’s a bitter pill too. Amendments also authorize the university to tow away cars a t the owner’s expense upon suspension of parking privileges.

b . Are You Concerned With W U S Program?

If you are concerned about poverty and hunger in the world, you will be interested to know that University of Victoria students and faculty belong to an international or- ganization of students and professors who are trying to ensure that universities will play a significant role in improving world conditions.

World University Service believes that universities should serve their communities and that students and professors themselves must tackle the political, economic or medical barriers which hamper the development of universities.

WUS philosophy manifests itself in “self-help” and educational projects such as co- operative hostels and dining rooms, student health services, scholarship p r o g r a m s com- munity services, text-book lending libraries, work camps and international seminars.

Taylor Assumes Position As Acting Dean

Dr. Malcolm Taylor, Uvic president has been appointed acting Dean of Arts and Sci- ence.

T h e temporary appoint- ment was made following the resignation of Dr. Alex Wood in August.

Dr. Wood resigned his ad- ministrative post in order to return to full-time teaching and research.

A new dean is expected to be named within a year said Dr. Taylor.

In the meantime an ad- visory committee of four pro- fessors has been selected to advise Dr. Taylor in his new position. TAYLOR

They are Dr. Steve Jen- nings of the Mathematics department, Dr. John Cli- menhaga of the Physics de- partment, Dr. Peter Smith of the Classics department and Dr. Bryan Farrell of the Geography department.

This committee is currently meeting weekly.

Another committee elected by the faculty of Arts and Science is also meeting to "get the wheels in motion" for the appointment of a new dean for the faculty said Dr. Taylor.

The new head could come from outside the university or be someone selected from within, added the president.

Nothing to Do? 0 . 0 J oin a Club

Like a flock of hungry vul- tures, the clubs will descend upon unsuspecting frosh and upperclassman alike in the annual CLUBS DAY.

Set for all day Friday, September 29th, Clubs Day will see the many varied in- stitutions of Uvic arrayed in imaginative booths, g a u d y costumes and preposterous slogans in front of the SUB. If Victoria's august weather gods bring rain, all but the hardy will be driven inside.

The 47 cluhs who will be vying for new recruits are divided into seven different types, notably: Political, linguistic, scientific, recrea- tional, performing, discus- sion and religious.

But new members are not the only rewards an ambi- tious club can reap. Peter Gibson, clubs director on the students council, has alotted a prize of $10 for the best overall display and $6 for the most original. Last year Biology made one of i ts rare SUB appearances and walked off with first prize but this year there will be even stiffer competition.

When 47 clubs and 3900 students meet in an unex- panded SUB, confusion and mayhem can easily be the re- sult. To minimize any such catastrophe an information booth in the upper SUB en- trance will supply wisdom and guidance to bewildered frosh and perplexed upper- classman.

But, a word to the wise; pick carefully! There are many glittering displays and persuasive pitches but be- longing to seven or eight clubs can spell disaster. One or two or, at the most three, are usually enough to keep even the most spirited ex- hausted.

As a footnote to this sum- mer's manipulation, P e t e r Gibson has announced that the unalotted club's fund has been increased from ten to

What a Drag A student council meeting usually provides good meat

for editorial writers as well as for news stories. Monday night’s affair proved that the former supposition

will be true again this year. As for news . . . we’re all waiting. Despite a relatively good showing of councillors and

observers the nearly three hour meeting was rather a drag. No major issues were discussed (although it is a bit early in the year for major issues). Most of the time was spent haggling over small things which should have been cleared up in half the time.

I’ll agree it’s a bit early in the year to chastise council in this regard for after all they really just have only assumed their all-powerful positions and no doubt are quite anxious to show the gaping spectators just how prolific they are, even on trifling matters.

I’m quite confident, however, that after a month of dragged out meetings councillors will themselves be tired of hearing everybody talk irrelevancies on everything. At this time perhaps they will provide an interesting forum for spec- tators in that we shall all hear good, honest and relevant debate on the issues tackled.

Jus t to pick up a point from the last meeting Monday night councillors had a mild difference of opinion over whether frosh could sit on a particular committee dealing with communications among all members of the university.

There were those among the members who seemed to feel that frosh couldn’t possibly hold any sensible ideas and therefore should not be considered.

Doesn’t sound too good for a council who is anxious to patch up the breakdown in communications that occurred with last year’s crisis on the campus.

The question of whether frosh can make a good showing on the committee now lies with the more than 1,800 of them on campus this year. Application for membership has now been thrown open to them and it is to be hoped the selection committee will select one for this committee.

&

It’s up to you, frosh. Dergk Thompson.

A Solution ? The Company of Young Canadians is certainly not the

most popular of government undertakings these days. It has the honor of having been denounced in Parliament,

attacked in newspapers, and chased out of Inuvik. Whenever ita director, Alan Clarke, is questioned about various of his Company’s failures, he brings forth answers to everything and solutions to nothing.

The CYC has almost as many staff people as i t has volun- teers in the field. It‘s budget runs into the millions. It has a higher desertion rate than. the South Vietnamese Army. It’s Ottawa office seems to have the best-endowed and least effective of any government bureaucracies. It is a very strange organization.

It is also the only ultimately worthwhile thing the Fed- eral Government has done since Hellyer started his program to wreck our armed forces.

The philosophy of the CYC is that “decisions should be made by the people who are going to be affected by them.”

If the Company is serious about this, and if they are going to do real things to bring that kind of democracy to Canada, then by definition they will get into trouble. Trouble from the power structures in the community and the

P nation, trouble from Indian agents, trouble from university presidents, trouble from the clergy and other, more easily recognizable, adherents to the status quo.

Therefore, to forestall the vast amount of hatred, insult, red-baiting, witch-hunting and stupidity that will be made manifest when the Company becomes truly effective, I would like to suggest that Alan Clarke hold a press conference immediately.

He will announce, “Yes. everything is true. We are guilty of Communism, radicalism, Judaism, rape and witch- craft. We confess to all sins. We hold a monopoly on all social crime.”

After Clarke made this subtle pronouncement, the CYC’s .

I

LECTURES!

critics would be so astounded that they just wouldn’t know what to do. There would be no more complaints at all. The Company would then be free to work better and more effec- tively. After all, if confession can pacify God, it should certainly pacify politicians.

Who Needs Underwear By STEVE HORN

Excellence is a rare thing. Because of this, it was a pleasure to watch the CBC perform a minor miracle in its coverage of the Tory leadership convention. Too bad that the subject really didn’t deserve all the lavish attention paid to it.

To those afflicted with nostalgia (or leftist tendencies) it was sad to see Dief go, because he was the Chief and, of course, because his leadership was the best thing that hap- pened to the NDP. But there was never any real doubt that a change, provided by Stanfield, was needed.

However, Stanfield’s accession, with its new image, doesn’t make Canadian Toryism more relevant. Diefenbaker’s failure was an inability to make good on his conversion technique; Stanfield, the underwear-suit-maker made good, has no message but that of the successful administrator, an aim not likely to appeal to many who don’t share his aspirations, especially those under thirty.

While he has amply proved his ability to deliver within his context, this means little to the alienated or dispossessed.

So the CBC wasted its talents, enough of a shame. Even more unfortunate was that the attention given to the jockeying for the leadership, the convention which didn’t allow a vote on the “deux nations” question, and its aftermath blanked out a much more significant argument between Pierre Trudeau and Jean Lesage over the inclusion of a Bill of Rights in the constitution.

(Mr. Horn, who graduated from the University of Victoria in May 1967, was active in student politics during his undergraduate years. Even WW a8. he is establishing himself in the outside world Mr. Horn is an avid observer of the Canadian political scene.)

The band was terrible-no polish whatsoever. The few songs it attempted were gar- bled, continually miscued, and drawn out at insufferable length. The ridiculously con- ceived (sic) light show only heightened this sham of en- tertainment. For this the Ac- tivities Council pays $loo?

Was Jesuq a. Hippie 3 A Distinguished Canadian Churchman Asks

While Bewildered Adults Scratch Their Heads By REV. G. W. GOTH

(Reprinted from the Toronto Telegram)

It is no more offensive and scandalous to suggest that Christ may have been a hip- pie than it was to identify him with the publicans and loafers of his day.

The hippies have much in common with the wanderer from Galilee. He withdrew from society. He rejected many of the values and pat- terns of his day. As far as we know he was not an acti- vist.

The militant left cannot claim him as one of their own. He rejected the temp- tation to become involved in the political action of his period. He gathered dis- ciples and followers around him. He participated in love sit-ins. He accepted little, if any, responsibility for the home, society, and the bus- iness of earning a living.

He was a nuisance to the sober elements in the com- munity. He blocked the roads on Palm Sunday. The authori- ties were persuaded that he was a disturbed of the peace. He did not make use of drugs, but by means of contempla- tion and prayer, he was able to travel beyond the limited range of earthly man.

He went on exciting jour- neys, particularly on t h e Mount o f Transfiguration. These ecstatic journeys gave him insights, values and wis- dom which he was eager to share with his more earth- bound followers. Ever after 1 i f e for him was to be measured, not only in terms of the Galilean way, but in the light of those marvellous encounters with God in Geth- semane and the wilderness.

Perhaps it can be said, without sacrilege, that Jesus, if he were to return to earth, would be more at home in the hippie hangouts than in the board rooms and church as- semblies of our acquisitive and affluent society.

What about the hippies? They are misunderstood and maligned, Wasn’t it said of Jesus that he came unto his

own and his own received him not? He, too, had now- where to lay his head.

Most of these would-be saints come from our middle- class homes. They have a better than average educa- tion. They are unable to ac- cept the values, the purposes, and the work routines of our bourgeois society. They find it a bore.

Like Holden Caulfield, they have sensed the sham in our actions and standards. We, they believe, are the phonies.

get involved. They believe they can find salvation within selves.

Most of them are harmless. unable to reach the spiritual heights in contemplation and prayer, they have resorted to hallucinatory drugs. These drugs smother out the noise and futility of modern living.

Is there a phenomenon here that we dare not neglect? Surely it isn’t enough to dis- miss these hippies as misfits, psychopaths, and lazy good- for-nothings.

Shocking t h o u g h i t may sound, adultery, drug addic- tion, and the abandonment of society may not be as sinful in God’s eyes as being des- troyed by r a c e prejudices, overcome by possessions, and involved in the obscenity of war.

Man is not a commodity to be used. He isn’t a thing to be exploited. Think of his days on end in a large city: up a t 6:30, a hasty breakfast and a glance at the morning paper, a mad rush to the of- fice by car or subway; then business for the day, home for dinner, a bit of telev’ion, a game of cards, a night cap, and so to bed.

The hippies are saying; “Count us out.” Man was made for play, for laughter and for love.

Are they crazy? How sane are we?

ItFrosh Should Revolt” Urged In Speech

TTAWA ( C U E - Patrick ‘atson last week (Sept. 15) xed Carleton U. freshmen revolt against the adminis-

ation and faculty. Watson, who co-hosted the Nntroversial “Seven Days” V show with Laurier La- erre, told 500 first-year stu- :nts to work through their udents association to gain bigxer say in the adminis- ation of their university. “You can convert the next Iur years of drudgery into social and intellectual ad- :nture if you act now,” he rid.

He said the university is a learning situation and not a training school.

He attacked professors who lazily believe that to impart knowledge all they need to do is stand up in front of a class full of students and give the same lecture they gave last year.

The time is gone when stu- dent government’s major role was organizing dances and football games. “Now they are working for political re- form within the university,” he said;

and who devotes his surplus energies to “cultural, cre- ative, or political activities.”

“At a university extra-cur- ricular activities complement formal academic studies,” he said. “They are no substi- tute for them.”

Reid said he recognized the need for new relations be- tween students, faculty and administration in the man- agement of college affairs.

“But I have accepted a post of authority in this college and this university,” he said. “I am prepared to share my responsibility with the stu- dent body of the college. I will not abdicate either the responsibility or the author- ity.”

Varsity Squads Edged

Prepping for regular league play Uvic's rugger squads dropped a pair of exhibition matches last weekend.

The Vikings, plagued by 2onditioning problems, folded in the last 15 minutes to suffer a 27-15 burial at the hands of Oak Bay's veteran- studded Wanderers. While t h e Norsemen, outweighed and out-roughed, put in a good fight against Navy but ran out of gas at the wrong minute to earn the short end of a 13-6 score.

The Vikings, put together at the last minute by head coach Howard Gerwing, had all kinds of trouble as Oak Bay forwards dominated set serums and lineouts. But surprisingly enough the rag- tag Vikings hung tough and were trailing by only four points, 9-5, at the half.

Early in the second half Viking backs exploded for two converted t r i e s and moved the university squad into a 15-14 lead. Then the summer's beer began to take its toll, and Oak Bay took advantage of the situation; the Oak Bay club chalked up three tries in the final seven minutes.

Big guns for the Vikings were A1 Foster and Dave Hutchings with a try each, but Ross Swanton was the standout with nine points on a try and three converts.

Oak Bay scoring was led by pint - sized scrum - half Daryl Noullette with three tries, and Ron Caton, Dave Doherty, Mike Penn a n d Maurice Preece struck for one major each. Three Wan- derer converts were booted by Ted Hardy.

In second division action a t Colville Road a surpris- ingly strong Norsemen team didn't have the stamina to go the distance against Navy.

Despite the fact that the squad was missing key per- s o n n e 1 in the scrum it powered its way to a 6-0 lead a t half-time. But with 20 minutes to go the university's junior ran out of steam and the Navy hammered through for three easy tries.

Norsemen points came from Rick Pike on-a penalty goal, a perfectly executed overlap try from winger Paul Carnes. The Navy tally came from three tries by Bob Smith, Hagen Klose, and Bob Blit- chell. Two converts were kicked by Ed Cameron.

Leading Schubert Authority To Visit Here in October Tessa Birnie, a leading

authority on Schubert, will visit Uvic during her Vic- toria stay.

New Zealand born Miss Birnie, who now resides in Sydney, Australia, will be in Victoria from October 13th to 27th. During her stay she will give several lecture-re- citals on various aspects of music.

Although M i s s Birnie’s

specialty is the keyboard music of Schubert, she has made a profound study of Mozart and the composers of the Baroque Period. She is currently making a complete set of recordings of all the pianoforte Sonatas by Schu- bert.

Miss B i r n i e has been praised as ‘‘a pianist of ex- traordinary musicianship”- (Evening Star, Washington) and her music as, “poetic in-

spiration, sheer magical song with a delicate and sure in- stinct”-(San Francisco Ex- aminer). Her hosts hope that many people will avail them- selves of the opportunity to hear a musician and pianist of such calibre lecture and play during her stay in Vic- toria.

The School of Fine Arts will announce the programs, dates and times for Miss Birnie’s recitals shortly.

Symposium Plans Underway

There will be no AMS sponsored symposium this fall but the University Christian Council is planning an off campus get-together along the same lines as a symposium- an ecumenical retreat.

In recent years the two annual symposia have oftel provided the best excuse of the term for students an( faculty to get away from the campus, travel to some seclude( hotel or resort, and spend a relaxing weekend, sleepinl sparsely, eating occasionally, drinking voraciously and dis cussing controversial topics such as ‘freedom,’ ‘boredom, and many other ‘doms.’

John Bergbusch, UCC president, disclosed today thl planned retreat, scheduled for the Remembrance Day week end (Nov. 10 to E ) , will be held a t Westminster Abbey home of the Benedictine monks at Mission in the Frase Valley.

Elizabeth McMeiken, in charge of arranging a speaker’ program could not definitely say at press time what speaker would be on hand for the retreat.

Cost per person is being set at ten dollars. Meanwhile, Nora Seaborne, chairman of the AMS syrr

posium committee, said although the society has made n definite plans for a symposium this fall in deference to th UCC project there will most certainly be one sometim during the spring term.

Theatre Offers Variety Variety is the keynote for

the University of Victoria’s Phoenix Theatre this year.

A wide diversity of produc- tions will be designed to cap- ture the interest of all on campus. A series of Can- adian films will start the season September 30. Bill- ings include “Nobody Waved Goodbye,” the National Film Board’s first full-length pro- duction, and a recent docu- mentary on p o v e r t y in Canada, “The Things I Can- not Change.” Admission will be free for these showings.

Classicists and others will be attracted by the theatre’s major winter production of

Eurides’, “The Bacchae.” Th play, translated by two Un v‘ersity of Victoria student, will run from January 23 1 February 3.
