Dr. MacKenzie 's pointed annual report

has urged the need for more funds in orde r

that universities meet the demands of this

nuclear energy age .

In doing so, the president raised again

the question of entrance examinations, cur-

tailed enrolment, and an intellectual elite

versus an overcrowded university with mul-titudes of survey-course graduates .

Mr. Jacque's criticism of this report ,

reprinted in full on this page, goes one step

further ; he points out that the world race

is not only one of armaments, but one o f

education .

According to Mr . Jacques, the fact tha t

the Moscow Reporter counts 74,000 tech-

nical engineering graduates in Russia a s

against approximately 26,000 in the United

States during a comparable period, is du e

solely to the inadequate university stand-ards and lack of selective methods in th e

West .

Further he suggests that the productio n

of the satellite is a direct reflection of Rus-

sia 's superior system of education .The Western countries have been some-

What dumbfounded at the appearance of the

satellite a full three months before that o f

the U .S. version .In an attempt to explain Soviet super -

iority, the West has again blamed the de -ficiencies of the Western educational system .There are defects, it is quite true, in th e

Western system . But while the Soviet system

has apparent advantages it also has defects .

While the West could probably do wel l

to ;eiii'\e sews) of the efficiency and effec-

tiveness )f the Soviet system, we shoul d

Students could stamp th eposters themselves and thiswould take little of the tim e

would only have to be sure

that each student received alist of the do's and dont 's ofpetting up posters .

If this suggestion is of n ouse I am sorry, but I am alsosorry for those connected wit hthe too-efficient staff at build-ings and grounds, you are be-ing subjected to much censur e

and ridicule for a situation

that probably could be solve d

Editor, The Ubyssey ,

Dear Madam :

I would like to take this op-portunity to comment on Mr .Lion Sharzer's windy views o nstimulation of thoughts, an dhearing of bells .

When his "young eage r

mids" are jolted by the bell ,

supposedly from the noble pur-suit of opinion testing and the-ory tearing (the bell renderstheir minds "open and inno-cent), and when these "futureRussells and Mills" scurry in abliwk-faced daze to a lecture(a 'meaningless' meeting), then

instead of a student revolution

for different teaching methods ,ter a "Do-no sit on the grasssign) evhat is needed is a cup o fblack coffee, or a brorno .

Instead of being put to sleepby lecturers, Brock thinker sshould use ear plugs, therebyeveidiug all the trouble .

They might even gravitat ehack to the Georgia, and re-sume those stimulating ideas;old discussions in consciou smono nts,

be loathe to adopt that system which at

present promises only "satellites . "

But is the West's greate'st ' 4rawback to

military superiority its shortage's of engin-

eers or does part of the fault lie with defence

planning in the West .Among the notable "flops" in Canada

are the $20 million Velvet Glove and the .

recently junked CF-105 . These propect s

used up the energies and talents of unnum-erable engineers and scientists for man y'

years. The U.S. has been blessed with many

similar flops .This waste of technologically trained

personnel is further,aggravated by the con-

stant Inter-Service factions in the Canadian

and U.S. armed forces . Each of the forces

wants to go its own sweet way, independ-

ently developing its own weapons .Add to this the virtually unco-ordinated

efforts of dozens of manufacturers each try-

ing to produce a saleable weapon . Does thi s

represent a duplication and diversification

of effort that does not hamper Soviet pro-gress ?

Another element to consider is that o f

absolute planning and a sense of calculate durgency itr the Soviet as against the hopefu lhit and miss methods in the West . WithinWestern governments virtually every poli-tician works out his own ideas on "the onlyway to win the next war." This practice ,though an outgrowth of democracy, is hard-ly inducive to a fully integrated and well -planned defence and research program .

Perhaps before the West's Mr . facquesleaps on the educational system, they shouldlook more closely at our governments an dtheir share in the West's inferiority .

Editor, The Ubyssey ,

Dear Madam :

We view with consternatio n

the proposed increase in AMS

fees. Can you not see whatthis diabolical plot will do to

the future campus of the Uni-versity of British Columbia ?

It will become analogous t o

the catacombs of Rome —

According to Darwin, i nthese rigorous circumstancesonly the PHYSICALLY fittes twould survive . Not only wouldthis relieve the overcrowding

problem, but would leave u sonly engineers on campus .

With careful nurturing thesecould soon be turned out i n

numbers to match those of

Russia ,

Lacking the stabilizing in-flucnce of the then extinc tArtsmcn, the Engineers woul dgleefully destroy the earth „leaving as a memorial onlyRussian satellites circling th e

void .

For the common good o fman, we make our plea : Don' traise the fees !

SWITCH PROW- TO THI S

Remarks from differentsources in Vancouver today ,

dealing with the same thing ,

education and higher learning ,are up ; fqr discussion tonight .

"FIGIRTINGiES' "Muss Mollie , Cottingham ,

president of the B . C. TeachersFederation (and I must admit ,

with due respect , to all previ-

ous federation prestdents, Mol-lie is the "fightingest ") todaycalled for increased salaries a sone means of relieving the

teacher shortage .That shortage in B .C. is now

about two thousand and is ex-pected to increase before it de -creases .

Miss Cott ingham also re -marked that in B .C . (apd hereI ' quote her) "we have alwayshad reason to be proud of th ehigh percentage of qualifiedteachers

In our ranks," but sheadded "our concern in thi stime of acute shortage is fo rthe growing percentage of un-der qualified teachers now dil-uting our professional stand-ards . "

The other statements on ed ucation and higher learnin gcame from UBC president Dr .N. A. M. MacKenzie . He toois a fighter . Furthermore, youwill pardon the expression, i fthere's a buck or a million t obe obtained from somewher eor other for UBC, Norman Mac-Kenzie will get it .HE WILL CET IT

In his annual report, Dr .MacKenzie spoke of the urg-ent need for more funds fro mALL sources . This must com eabout, said the good Doctor, i funiversities are to meet the de-mands that the age of automa-tion and nuclear energy arenow placing upon us . "

In the midst of all this, an das many of you doubtless heardat six this evening, the Moscowreporter pointed out that Rus-sia has just announced thatover 74 thousand technical en-gineers were graduated in thatcountry this year .

In the United States the sam eperiod, about 26 thousand wer egraduated .

I leave that item with yo ufor serious consideration a tyour leisure . In the meantim elet us look at the remarks o fMiss Cottingham and Dr. Mac -Kenzie .

I have always contended tha tteacher's salaries should be in -creased, but I have also alwayscontended that teaching stand-ards should be much higher .

And yet in the matter o fthose so called "underquali- IPied" or if you like "under cer-tificated teachers," what ismeant by these terms, and per -

students unable to afford both haps more important, wha tfees and board will be forced'-_. .

to live like animals in the dim

A Reprint of CKWX Script, October 10, 195 7

By ROY JACQUES

about their placement in teach-ing?

Certainly on the basis ofacademic standards an under -qualified teacher in an urbanarea is a square peg in a roun dhole, since there are so manythings happening and so man yexamples around the teache r

and student in such areas to

better basic general knowledg e

in the first place .But at the same time it mus t

not be forgotten that in, man y

remote, and often unattractive

rural areas, there is a cryin gneed for teachers. And inmany of those areas I ventur eto say the need is not so muchfor teachers qualified in th eproper academic items, bu trather persons who can impar tknowledge on general subject s

—and do it well .Then, if those students wis h

to continue their education ,they can move on in later year sto universities . I'll have some-thing to say on that point, uni-versities, in a moment . Bu tfor a few moments longer, o nthe teacher subject . I wouldlike to make this suggestion .

That persons who are will-ing to teach in remote areas ,whether academically quali-fied or not, if they are foundto be persons truly intereste din teaching, these people shoul dbe paid extra in this light .

It's all fine and dandy t o

argue, yes, but if you're goingto teach, you have to be reall y

interested in teaching no mat -

ter what the setbacks .

As I say, this argument i s

fine. But it invariably come sfrom the teacher who has afairly comfortable billet in alarge area such as Vancouver ,and don't ever forget moneyis still the biggest factor in al l

walks of life in this countr y

today .That is the way we've made

it, and it is on that basis tha twe have to adjust our thinkin gconcerning the teaching pro-

fession .At the same time and in

conjunction with demands fo r

needed higher salaries amon g

ALL teachers, there is also a n

urgent need for higher stand-ards among students .

A much tougher system o f

graduating standards is badl y

needed as students move from

one grade to another or one

type of school to another, and

this is particularly true when

students move into university .

Dr. MacKenzie calls fo rmore money for ALL universi-ties, but particularly for UBC .Up to this point I agree whole-

heartedly. But when he saysthat it is a "daydream" to sug-gest that university enrolmen tbe limited to the very best stu-dents, I heartily disagree .

Dr . MacKenzie, also in thi s

wise, remarks, "tile time has

passed when we could organiz e

our educational system for a

few . "

If, by the few he means ,those whose parents can wel lafford university fees, again Iagree with him . If, by thefew, he means the very bes tstudents, again I disagree .

Enrolment at UBC no wstands at 88 hundred, and the yare screaming about crampedquarters, not enough laborato-ries and so on .

To be quite blunt, I believe

that if Dr. MacKenzie and hi sstaff were to check thoroughl yinto both the previous acade-mic standards and the desire

for higher learning among th e

88 hundred, they'd be able t o

fire at least 50 per cent of 'em

out of the University in ji g

time, and the overcrowdin gproblem would be promptly

solved .

At the same time I thin k

that since higher learning i s

as much a privilege as it is a

right, every student wishing to

enter university should under -go a STIFF entrance examina-

tion ,I disagree heartily with Dr .

MacKenzie when he says "the.time has passed when we

could organize our educationa l

system for the few." This is

precisely the time when th e

few who sincerely wish forhigher learning and are will-ing to work for it, and applythemselves should be given al lthe breaks .

And If Russia has now gra-phically illustrated this lesso n

for us, Russia has also clearl y

shown that the hard workin gteacher, as well as the studen tdeserves, and in that countr yfor what it is worth — gets the

best .

It's a puzzlement:

When you're old enough to go to college ,

you're old enough to go out with girls . When

you're old enough to go out with girls, wh o

needs college? Oh well, there's always Coke .

The flag 'of pre-communis tHungary will be seen on cam -pus next Wednesday when So-pron students hold a rally t ocommemmorate the abortiveHungarian uprising of las tOctober .

Miklos Gratzer, Sopron stu-dents president, explained thesignificance of the rally :

"On October 23 last year, i nthe morning, the word wa spassed from mouth to mout hthat we demonstrate at noon .

We had no weapons and w eknew the secret police machin eguns would be pointing at us ,but we did not care .

"We gathered together an dmarched to the statue of afreedom fighter of 1848 . Wewaited for the command t oopen fire, but it did not come .

Mud pies and oil wells have one thing in com-

mon--mud .If Suzy tries to bake her pie it either gets hard

or crumbles. The same thing can happen to drillin g

muds which are used to lubricate bits and to carr y

away rock cuttings .

The deeper you drill, the hotter it gets, the

greater the pressure. Three to four miles dow n

into the earth, temperatures often exceed 400 0 —

twice that of boiling water . In such heat, drilling

muds used to break down, solidify . Drilling stopped

—wells had to be abandoned .

Mobil scientists worked years on the problem —

part of the company's $1 .5 million-a-month re-

search program . Now the answer—a mud that

stays muddy at higher temperatures and greater

pressures than ever before .This Mobil Recipe for Mud made it possible to

complete the world's deepest well—four and a

quarter miles, enabling America's oil men to ta p

heretofore inaccessible petroleum .

REVIEWS AND CRITICISM

EDI'T'OR, BARHIE MAL E

The Readers Riled: Chad

Brock Gallery Disappointin gBy JOHN DARLIN G

The Bruck "art gallery" epitomizes our present qutln-dal'y about the value of art . The "gallery " itself coul d

hardly be considered more than a thoroughfare — I don' t

dare look at anything on the wall long during the day fo r

fear of being sprawled out flat by a busy bevy of fresh-

ettes — but the more significant aspect is that the arra y

of paintings seemed to have been painstakingly chose n

for their striking effect ; the type of popularity necessary

to shock one to stop .One night, however, when

all was dark, I snuck in and Iturned on the lights for a close r

look . As I suspected, what ha d

been briefly flattering wa s

under ,closer scrutiny not s o

masterly. How was it that

"Painting Full Grown " couldstare confidently at me in thi s

ambiguous, jumbled mess? An

abstract painting needs a great

deal of tolerance, to be sure ,

but after reasonable delibera-tion, if criticism is warranted ,

it is desperately needed . Afte r

all, it may be a hoax. Why did

Tom Hodgson fail to give thi s

painting a central focus? Wh yis there no unifying pattern ,

why no strength? It says noth-

ing, for sure . It seems trite ,

even dilettante . The dry-brush

yellow near centre fails t o

establish attention, and ther e

is no unity of rythm surround-

ing it . There is also no spon-taneity in the stroke . The wholemotley jumbo looks like some -

thing I might do — especially

the half-hearted attempt a t

boldness with bright strips o f

mauve and white in one cor-

ner. The peach area at lowe r

right and the orange strip atthe centre are isolated . Thecolors and forms as a whole are

not related; they are fragmen-

tary, uncertain acts . Why was

the thin wet paint scratched ?

It seems to serve no purpos e

here. Unless it is uniform, i t

is difficult also to accept th e

spectacle of intermittent drip -

ping paint. Our generation

want to accept new modes o f

expression, but it pleads sin-cerity and credibility .

The white strea kshimmering lake of Jacques de

Tonnancour's "The Island" i s

attractive but is too dominat -

ing and cuts the painting i n

half. The forest and sky are

frankly dul l; the former ap-

pears to be sloppy, unrythmi c

two-tones, the latter is a wea k

color that might well hav e

been interesting and migh t

have offset the streaks of th e

lake . The reflection effects i n

the water is admirable, bu t

what it is a reflection of is a

mystery .

E . J. Hughes "Abandone d

Village" is very striking . The

raw, dark, crisp feeling of thesky, the wind-swept clouds and

the rytlhnic trees suggest a

loneliness that effectively con-trasts with the strange white-ness of the buildings in th e

foreground. T h e drift-woodlogs are interesting, but some -how lack of the real force th e

painter seemed to strive for ,

perhaps because there is a dis-crepancy in degree of realit y

between these stylized formsand the mechanical starkness

of the buildings . The row of

white huts presents interestin gshapes, but it is perhaps over -

done. A great attempt wasmade at emptiness, decadence ,

but the buildings are not sal -

fluently derelict . One feels they

alight be easily turned int o

summer cottages, and th ewaterwheel, whateycr it is do-

ing there, looks very ready to tspring into action .

Not nearly so bad as Laure nHarris's "Northern image" -- i

a true disappointment . This i s 'i

the sort of' spectacle that on e

ridiculous is a little too subtle .

If you must draws a moral from the whole thing, wh ynot equally proheble and much more flattering to you r

readers -- that Chadaisnl seethed laughable to every m e

who read about it — there was no great hue and cry ofamazement over it because we have become Very tolel'atl ttowards that from the traditional of the artists, musician sand peed ., of today and sympathize with their efforts "t o

would land you on a thumb -tack or a messy palette . Thecolors, contrary to first impres-sions, are not blended, and the

forms are a r b i t r a r y . Theorange streaks which meltsinto a yellow mass is particu-

larly clumsy . The image-areaof the sea at the base is awful .

Takao Tanage's "Landscap eof an Interior Place" bringsup the problem of "recogniz-

ing" and misconstruing ab-

stract forms : I ' m, ashamed to

say I immediately saw a sic k

or dead old man with a mous-tache on his death-bed . The

white suggested a prison o f

death, the red physical and

mental ill-health . I enjoyed

this painting as such, but ,

needless to say, I feel insecur e

about my interpretation . HaveI boobed? — if so, I have bee ncruelly mislead. Surely there

is a face, at least . (There even

seems to be another strang e

white face peering over the

other, listening for a breat h

of life .) The texture is ver y

delicate and deliciously marsh-

mallowy. But I feel nebulou s

about the painter 's intent here .I more enjoy other of his paint-

ings, some of which tempt the

imagination with a delightful ,

distant, oriental atmosphere .

Having come to Vancouve r

a few years ago, and havin g

grown to like the setting ver y

well, I appreciate Jack Kor .-

ncr's "Coast Emblem, " with it s

deep, rich, vibrant colors an d

its poignantcy . His blocking

method suggests streets and

parks — the linear separatio n

of colors is a good vehicle o f

expression here . All this is

what I like about the coast, al l

right . Why the muddy bogs o f

blue and green at centre right ?

The painter seems to have lost

interest in certain areas, and

is looks a bit fuzzy around the

edges, as if it were a pictur e

taken by an old box camera .

Here, however, is subtlety an d

sensitiveness lacking in one or

two of the other paintings .

After my critical journey, a s

I turned out the lights, the bi g

blade Fist of the North painted

as accusing finger at nlc', I

thought I dare not go by this
