UB C "EATS " NEITHE R VOL . XL, ~4B VANCOUVER, B .C ., FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 1957 No . 2 8 Condemnation O f Totem Unjus t 1 l Y 1 1 A N A AMS President Trevin o Reacts To Union Repl y Secretary, Local No . 54, I,P .E .U, , Vancouver, B .. 0 Dear Mr . Skeane : Thank you for your letter of October 30 . First, let me point out that no university mone y whatsoever is involved . The money comes strictly fro m student fees, which are used to subsidize and promot e student activities . These monies are disbursed by th e Students' Council, which is elected by the student bod y each year . No tax money whatsoever is involved . In fact , the student body has saved taxpayers quite a lot of mone y through the years . They have built with their own ,ncne y over $3,000,000 worth of buildings . In the depths of th e Depretsion, when the university could not find enougn ta x mcney to cut the grass on university lawns, students wer e paying to build gymnasium and a Union building . Jus t two weeks ago, we turned over to the university toe key s to a $350,000 extension to our building . UNION SHOP Secondly, the company which has been awarded th e contract is a union shop . We verified this and asked wn y the union stamp is not on many of their products . Th e answer wap quite simple : They give the school tOe optio n of displaying the label or not, as they see fit . You shoul d have access to records which would verify this . It is a CIO Local 4 . Now as to the reaso n for the decision to sen d the contract to the U .S . As I have mentioned, we on the Students' Counci l deal with student mone y and over 80 per cen t of our students pay thei r own way through UB C with summer earnings this is NOT a, "rich man' s college. " We are therefor e bound in conscience an d in honor to get the lowest possible price for ou r contracts, and we dis- ributed bids to all th e printers who might be interested in publishing the Totem . The lowest price we received was from Evergree n Press — locally . The bid from Yearbook House was ove r $10,000 LESS than the hid from Evergreen, on the sam e spe ::ification . Because we WANTED to keep the job i n the province, we asked Evergreen for another bid . (A s you know, this is NOT the usual way of doing things , but we wanted to give local firms every chance) . BID STILL HIGHE R Evergreen then submitted a bid that was lower bu t still $8,570 more than the bid from Yearbook House . Evergreen was given another opportunity to bid, and afte r changing the specifications for the cover of the book, chang - ing the size of the book from a 9 x 12 to an 8 1/2 x 11, an d some other minor changes, their final bid was still $4,75 4 more than the American bid . The figure quoted in on e of the downtown papers is incorrect . Anyone who wishes , may come to Brock Hall and check our records . Evergreen Press is the largest printing house in West - ern Canada . But no one paid any attention to UBC whe n we could not get competitive bids and Evergreen's price s spiraled upwards every year . Now that we have found a competitive bidder, we were threatened with repercus - sions on our advertising revenues, etc ., from the compan y that lost the bid after every effort was made to awar d them the jobW'nat really strikes us as unjust is that, a t a time when UBC is in dire need of help, every effor t seems to be being made to represent this as universit y (taxpayer ' s) money , MONEY SAVED The money which was saved by awarding the contract s to a competitive firm was immediately passed on to th e students in the form of a reduced price for the Totem an d the issuing of membership t cards free when they ha d previously cost thirty-five cents . As you see, Mr . Sheane, we tried our level best t o award the contract locally . We could not, in conscience , give the contract to Evergreen Press while we held a bi d $8,570 lower for the same product . Further, we felt ther e was something drastically wrong when a company employ - ing union help (at probably higher wages) can ship thei r product about 2,000 miles and still land the books i n Vancouver at a price about 33 per cent less than a fir m in Vancouver with no transportation charges to pay for . APOLOGY UNNECESSAR Y So you see, Mr . Sheane, we have nothing to apologiz e for . We have always worked well with the B .C . Federatio n of Labour and we hope that our good relations will con - tinue . 1 feel sure Cud when you know all the facts yo u will try to rectify some of the impressions you may hav e created while working with incomplete information . As I said before, you are quite welcome to come t o Brock Hall and go through our records of the transactions . We would appreciate your interest . I hope the informatio n contained in this letter will be passed on to your local . W e received quite a bit of help from the tr ade union movemen t last year, and we would not like to jeopardize your friend - ship . V' .,rns sincerely , BEN TREVINO , President, Alma Mater Society ONE OF THE MANY TIMES a UBC ball carrier very earnestly went absolutely no - where . The Thunderbirds, full of nothing but desire, failed to stop the Puget Soun d Loggers in the Birds last game of the season . The Birds were able to retain thei r perfect record this year .

AMS President Trevin oReacts To Union Reply

Secretary, Local No . 54, I,P .E.U, ,Vancouver, B . .0Dear Mr. Skeane :

Thank you for your letter of October 30 .

First, let me point out that no university mone ywhatsoever is involved . The money comes strictly fromstudent fees, which are used to subsidize and promot estudent activities. These monies are disbursed by th eStudents' Council, which is elected by the student bod yeach year. No tax money whatsoever is involved . In fact ,the student body has saved taxpayers quite a lot of mone ythrough the years . They have built with their own ,ncne yover $3,000,000 worth of buildings. In the depths of theDepretsion, when the university could not find enougn ta xmcney to cut the grass on university lawns, students wer epaying to build gymnasium and a Union building . Justtwo weeks ago, we turned over to the university toe key sto a $350,000 extension to our building .

UNION SHOPSecondly, the company which has been awarded th e

contract is a union shop. We verified this and asked wn ythe union stamp is not on many of their products . Theanswer wap quite simple: They give the school tOe optionof displaying the label or not, as they see fit . You shouldhave access to records which would verify this . It is aCIO Local 4 .

Now as to the reaso nfor the decision to sendthe contract to the U.S.As I have mentioned, weon the Students' Counci ldeal with student mone y— and over 80 per centof our students pay theirown way through UBCwith summer earnings —this is NOT a, "rich man'scollege." We are thereforebound in conscience andin honor to get the lowestpossible price for ourcontracts, and we dis-ributed bids to all theprinters who might be interested in publishing the Totem .

Because we WANTED to keep the job i nthe province, we asked Evergreen for another bid . (Asyou know, this is NOT the usual way of doing things ,but we wanted to give local firms every chance) .

still $8,570 more than the bid from Yearbook House .Evergreen was given another opportunity to bid, and afte rchanging the specifications for the cover of the book, chang -ing the size of the book from a 9 x 12 to an 8 1/2 x 11, andsome other minor changes, their final bid was still $4,75 4more than the American bid . The figure quoted in on eof the downtown papers is incorrect . Anyone who wishes ,may come to Brock Hall and check our records .

Evergreen Press is the largest printing house in West -ern Canada. But no one paid any attention to UBC whenwe could not get competitive bids and Evergreen's price sspiraled upwards every year .

Bribing Won't Help —

It Only Disgusts Us

IS OUR EDUCATION UP TO PAR ?CONCLUSION OF SERIES (By GUS KROLL )

"Each student will purchase an averag eof $28.77 worth of clothing in the next fiveweeks. There are 8,900 students at UBCwith a total purchasing power over thenext five weeks of $256,053 . "

So we have been told by a clothin gbusiness which has promised that a smal lpercentage of the total purchases made b yUBC students at their store outlets wouldbe donated to the Development Fund .

Our "Totem" yearbook heard the samestory . "If we give money to your university ,then you should do your business with us . "

There are loopholes in these arguments ,and we resent their implications .

First of all, whose university is it? I tdoes not belong solely to the students wh ohappen to be attending classes at any give ntime. It does not belong to the professors ,who happen to be on the payroll — smal las it is — at any given time . It does not

. belong to the Board of Governors, nor tothe 'Senate nor to the administration no rtti "the City of Vancouver . This isn 't theSt. Roch Museum and it isn't a private enter -

;.prize business .

It happens to belong to the people o fthis province, with shares and dividend sgoing to all the people of Canada .

Who benefits by it? Not just the stu-dents who earn their degrees here . Notjust the professors who earn their dail ybread here. Not just the contractors wh obuild our lecture halls, nor the janitors wh osweep them .

The people of Canada and of Britis hColumbia have been benefiting from th euniversity ever since its inception . Theirbuildings have been designed by universit yarchitects; their bridges, by university en-gineers; their accounting systems, by com-merce graduates ; their improved farmingmethods, by university agriculturists ; theirbetter methods of preparing food, by uni -

versity home economists ; the teachingmethods in their schools, by Education Col-lege graduates; the sermons in thei rchurches, by theological graduates ; and thei rbooks, their organizations, and much of their"way of life" by arts graduates .

Their businesses have been providedwith staff trained to think .

Their homes have been provided withinfinitely better facilities and more sanitar ymethods.

Their children have been provided withvocational and aptitude testing so that the ymay more rapidly find their niche in life orunderstanding where to put their energies .

The people of the province and particu-larly of the City of Vancouver have bee nraking back dividends from this universit yfor years . They've been raking back divi-dends without having given their initia lpayment .

The students have not only given thei rinitial payment, they have paid their debt sfor some years to come . They owe no deb tto the province nor to its businessmen . Thebenefits they confer on the province andon its businessmen are far greater than afew measly purchases at clothing stores .

When they take an interest in th eDevelopment Fund it is because they realizethe great debt society owes to its univer-sities . It is not because they, themselves ,are going to benefit personally by mor ebuildings on campus . In fact the studentsnow attending the university will have verylittle personal use of the new facilities mad e"ossible by the fund .

Bribing the students is not only inef-fective, it is the most lamentable and dis-gusting business practice possible. Topromise to pay a debt only if those who hav ealready discharged their own debt provid ethe fund, is an inexcusable practice eve namong businessmen .

Campus Need sEditor, The Ubyssey ,Dear Madam :

What this campus needs ispeople with big ideas and littl eideas . The Ship of Grandios eIdeas will flounder in a sea o fturmoil unless it has the 'little' ,operative ideas to give it steer-age .

Such an introduction i sprompted by certain articlesappearing in the Ubyssey whichpurport to present the "onl ysolution" to our educationa lproblems. Mr. Kroll (and col-laborator) has big ideas basedon his own limited experiencewith our educational problems .He has built his Ship of Gran-diose Ideas. Fine . (I will notquarrel with his big ideas now ,since their value is beside th epresent point) . The ideas, how -ever, are not operative in thesense that one parson, or oneteacher, or one agency coul dimplement them readily . Theyare too big f'cu' such a test .They call for great changes i nwhat already exists . Theseideas, because of i6ie demand sthey make, are doomed to bejust ideas -- c'onsider'ed andfiled . Perhaps this was 1MLr .Kroll's hope .

However . let e assume too t1Icr~d hr hi< idea ; and

was sincerely interested i nhaving them implemented the"democratic way" . This im-plies implementation slowlyand in small, often impercept-ibly small, stages. Required :the small ideas which lead to-wards the goals suggested bythe big ideas, the small idea swhich individuals can put int oaction . It is likely, if Mr .Kroll wrote with this end inview, that he would be force dto gain appreciative insight —(through the gathering of al lfacts) — into the problems heso glibly "solves" .

An illustration of the meth-od suggested may elucidate .

The apathy of teachers to -wards trying to affect a chang ein our language is amazing .They seem happy enough t odrill all idiosyncrasies of th eEnglish language (no doubt be -cause society demands it) int othe next generation — wh ybother trying to improve theefficiency and structure of ou rlanguage' This, despite thefact that language is the main"tool" of their trade !

Well now, let's say I wan tsonic action . I'm sick and tiredof cough through, although ,thorough, irregular plurals, s it— letters, variable pronoun -Motions, etc

I have a big idea

— our language should b emade completely phonetic andregular in its rules. The ad-vantages would be tremendou sbut the upheaval such an ide awould bring if implemente dover a short period of time i sprobably so excessive that th eidea would die the death o fmany big ideas . G . B . Shawhad a plan for renovating ou rlanguage — it called for a bi gchange. As far as I know, n osuccessful attempts have beenmade to implement it .

But enter the little ideas, th eideas that individuals can im-plement once they accept them .For a start, why not sugges t"thru" for "through", "thoro "for "thorough", and "aliho" fo r"although" .

But stop here, lest you sti rup a hornet's nest, and wait .Wait for the spellings to be -come common and accepted —then, thru this tedious but mir-aculous process they will "sud-denly" be declared "correct" .Then slip in a few more littl eideas (assuming them to be inagreement with your big idea s-- "lone" for "phone" (and al l'ph's') and "f'lite" for "flight „(and all ' t ight's") . Now stopand wait for the miraculousprocess which will make these

Who ,pays today's universit yeducation ?

Here are some of the lates tfigures from the Canada Yea rBook of 1956 pertaining to theyear 1952-53 .

Government Grants, $26,97 3millions, 52 .9% .

Student Fees, $14,348 mil-lions, 28 .1% .

Endowments a n d Funds ,$2,981 millions, 5.9% .

'Other sources, $6,878 mil -

lions, 13 .1% .Total Expenditures of Uni-

versity Education, $50,980 mil-lion .

08,000 students attende dUniversity that year . This am-ounts to a total expenditure o f$520 per student, of whic h$143 was borne by the student .

The same year the federalrevenue amounted to $4.36 bil-lion; the provinces receive d1 .46 billion, thus the total rev-enue of federal and provincia lgovernments amounted to 5.82billion dollars .LESS THAN 1

% The proportion of govern -ment grants to universities t ototal revenue was 0 .47% ; inother words less than one cen tout of every dollar received bythe government in the form ofrevenue was spent on univer-sity education .

These figures cover only th ecost of education which the

• educational institutes have tobear . But what about such in-cidentals as room and board ,books, transportation, etc .

During the tuition year, thesecosts amount to a minimum o f$800 . To this must be addedthe cost of living during thesummer while the student ha sto make revenue which am-ounts at least to $250 . Thetotal thus adds up to $1200 pe ryear, including tuition fees ,

It does not matter whetherthe student lives at home ornot ; if he does, his parents hav eto bear the expense .

The student therefore con -tributes 76% of the costs o fhis education .COSTS BORNE BY STATE

Let's contrast this with thesystem the Soviet Union fol-lows. A total of 2,365,000 stu-dents are attending universi-ties ; approximately 23 time sthe number of Canadian stu-dents. Since 1956, universityeducation is free and the cost sare borne by the State .

The total expenditures o neducation amounts to 23,023billion rubles. The total staterevenue is 66,743 billion ru-bles . Russia then spends ove rone third of its revenue oneducation .

(These are 1956 figures) .5 .6% ON EDUCATIO N

Canada on the other handspends a total of $325 millionon education ; the national rev-enue amounts to 5 .82 billion

"incorrect" spellings correct .Need I continue the process ?

Need I point out that this is th every process Russia uses toachieve her big ideas (in som ecases with expedition not avail -able in a democracy)? This isthe way to action and achieve-ment. More people with bi gideas should use it .

Jan De Bruyn

Editor, The Ubyssey ,Dear Madam :

You are completely right ,Jan De Bruyn. Compared wit ha European University, thi scampus would be like a desertto a European. I too miss thewineshops, bookstores and th edelicatessen shops of the oldcountry with their abundanceof (the typist apologies to thewriter of this letter, but sh ecannot read his writing) .

But is this not nostalgia''Would an attempt to recre-

ate the atmosphere of a Euro-pean by-street develop intellec-tuals .'

Can Canadian loganberr ywine be turned into goldenmadeira by selling it in pictur-esque wineshops?

dollars . We spend 5 .6% of ourrevenue on education . (195 3figures, no later figures areavailable) . The figures aresomewhat higher (approxim-ately 10%) if municipal taxe sare included for high schoo lfinancing .

In other words the Sovie tUnion is spending at leas tthree times as much as Canad adoes in relation to the revenue .

But we are worried over no thaving enough scientists, engi-neers, teachers, and othertrained personnel .LARGE SCALE AID SCHEME

It is conceded that an addi-tional burden upon the Treas-ury would mean additiona ltaxation, which should b eavoided wherever possible . Onthe other hand it is suggeste dthat a highly effective way t oturn out more graduates lie sin large scale student aidscheme .

Is it therefore possible t ohelp the student financiallyand yet not increase taxation ?

The writer believes tha tthese steps would overcom ethis dilemma .

1. Elimination

of useles spublic services .

2. Creation of a Nationa lStudent Loan Agency .TOO MUCH WASTE

We are being told that ove r200 million dollars have bee nspent on the development ofan aircraft which was obsolet ebefore it got off the drawin gboard . Several hundreds o fmillions of dollars have bee nspent on ,the construction o fthe Dew Line which was obso-lete before completion .

Less flagrant examples ofwaste associated mostly wit hNational Defence are constant-ly challenged in the House o fCommons . Why is it not pos-sible to channel money beforeit is being squandered, intoeducation where it yields re -turns, rather than obsolet eequipment? I do not sugges tthat defence is unnecessary ;but useless waste in the hal•lowed name of national de-fence is not only unnecessar ybut repugnant .

Let us remember that onl y3% of the defence expendi-ture amounts to the total whichis being spent by the govern-ment to the universities .SET UP LOAN AGENC Y

Canada has a National Hous-ing Act which sets up a Crow nCorporation as a loan agenc yfor the purposes of financin gconstruction of new homes. I tis suggested that a simila rCrown Corporation be estab-lished under a Student Loa nAct for the purposes of financ-ing university education .

This Corporation could ope-rate as follows :

It would secure its capita lthrough a bond issue sold t othe public . This would obvi-ate the need of financin gthrough government revenues .

From this fund, loans woul dbe made in a similar way asNHA mortgages are made. In-

Your Bohemia needs peopl ethat are trained from child -hood in appreciation of litera-ture and conversation . It takesmature, responsible student sto discuss academic questions .

I am afraid that this campu swhere subjects like philosophyand fine arts are counted fo rtheir value in units more tha nfor their educational value, Iwould not change if your ide awas put into practice .

KARE HERMANRUD ,Arts III .

Editor, The Ubyssey ,Dear Madam :

The article "What This Cam -pus Needs" in the Nov . 15t hissue expresses my sentiment sadmirably. Such stuff is wha tdreams are made of, but wha tdreams! I'll wager many areader laid this article downwith dim eye and murmured :''Why couldn't it have bee nlike this!" Congratulations t oJan Dc Bruyn for hitting th enail on the head .

stead of real property a stu-dent wet: id pledge his educa-tion which he builds .

Loans should be sufficientl ylarge to be effective and hav elong enough terms so that theydo not amount to any hard -ship .

If the government feels tha tadditional incentives should beprovided, tax concessions, etc .can be written into the Taxa-tion Act .

THREE PURPOSE SSuch a fund would fulfil l

three purposes :I . It would supply the ne-

cessary capital to the studen twhen needed ; that is duringthe education .

2. It would enable the stu-dent to obtain a higher in -come, making it easier to re-pay the loan .

It would eliminate the wast eof time a student presently ha sto cope with in the summer i norder to make enough mone yfor studying .

4 . It would obviate the ide aof a free-hand-out which isgenerally repugnant to th eCanadian philosophy of life .

Coupled with a study yea rof twelve months and a mor eintensive high school educa-tion, it would be possible toturn out bachelor in arts i none and one-half years, engi-neers in two and a half year sor less . The economy wouldbenefit from the additionalnumber of trained individualsand the graduate will benefi tfrom additional years with ahigher income .

This could all be achieve dwith a minimum of state inter-ference . It would obviate th eapproach the Soviets use ; i .e . ,to put all education unde rstrict state supervision, an dcontrol . It would give incen-tives to additional individuals .And last but not least, it woul dturn out more engineers, scien-tists and other graduates .

WHO IS HE ?

Mr. A-C represents Canadian Ailk-Chelmws, anti di If MksChalmers . You've seen him in the churches, schools, dommor met him at civic, social and professloeel mre 1In s. 'You'veseen him in the shops and offices producing for the between'of people everywhere, whether in peace or in war.

Just who is Mr. A-C ? Because the answer to a question NWthat is complex, it is easy for people to pick up mistake nimpressions .

For the sake of the record, let's take Mr . A-C aped andsee who he really is.

WHO IS CAPITAL ?

Capital doesn't wear a silk hat at Allis-Chalmers ."Capital" consists of more than 47,000 shareholders .Mr. Capital might be a grocer, a farmer, a widow ,a school teacher, or YOU. He might be a companyemploye in the office or shop or an officer of thecompany .

This is an example of democratic ownership dis-tinctive in the history of large corporations .

WHO IS MANAGEMENT ?

Management is the guiding hand (or head) hired bythe owners to make an organization tick—and click !Management coordinates the efforts of individualsand sets the direction the company travels .

Who is Mr. Management at Allis-Chalmers? Notjust the officers and division heads of the company .Management is the salesman in the field, the fore-main in the shop .

.Management is every employe from errand boy o president wh o

contributes by word and deed to the progress of the conpary .

Speaking of errand boys, one of the top officers ofAllis-Chalmers started with that job . Three othersstarted as student engineers . Five began in the salesorganization, while another officer started as amachinist in the Allis-Chalmers shops . All Allis-Chalmers officers know the business from the groundup—through experience with the company .

Mr. Management doesn't wear a high wing collarat Allis-Chalmers. Neither does he have any mono -poly on his job.

WHO IS LABOR ?The man who works in the shop is spoken of in th enewspaper as "labor" . Actually, he may be a skilledcraftsman, as much es master of his trade as adentist or a surgeon .

Actually he may be part of Capital through owner -ship of company stock .

The fact that he works with his hands makes himno less a part of Allis-Chalmers than the man orwoman who works at a desk . The terms "Capital""Management", and "Labor" are indefinite an doverlapping. Many a man who works in the shop isactually a part of all three groups .

INTRODUCING MR . A- C

Who then is Mr. A-C? He is a combination of47,000 shareholders, 40,000 employes, more than5,000 dealers and their employes, more than 10,000suppliers who furnish in excess of 100,000 separateitems for manufacture .

His is a company which contributes something tobetter living in nearly every home in Canada an dthe United States—in supplying machines to growand process food, generate electricity, pump water ,build roads, produce building materials.

Mr . A-C is a potent contributor to the welfare andlivelihood of millions of people . It takes the righthand, left hand, head, heart and pocketbook toachieve such results . No one part of him can dothe job alone.

One Of Best AAU CageTeams In US To Play Bird s

By BARRY STEWART

University basketball fans may be seeing a preview of the 1958 American AAU champions tonight and Saturday

when Seattle Buchans meet the UBC Thunderbirds . The powerful Seattle squad captured the National AAU title a t

Denver in 1956 but had a dismal fourth place finish last season . The Bakers have loaded their ball club in a determine d

bid for a second crown .

The Buchan roster reads like a

"Who's Who" of U .S . Intercol-

legiate basketball . Former Sky -line Conference all-star, "Zip "

Rhoades and Bruno "Mr . Hook "

Boin, were named to several Al lAmerican selections .

Scrappy guard Chuck Keen

was named to the 1956 AAUAll-American team and wa slater named as alternate on th e

U.S . Olympic cage crew . Larr yBeck, former WSC scoring ac ewas chosen twice for the Pacifi cCoast Conference first team . TheBakers not only have the star sbut also boast an over all aver-

age height of over 6'4" .OUTSTANDING GUARD S

Playing guard for the talent-ed Baker's will be Chuck Koon ,

Ron . Patnoe, Stan Glowaski ,

Larry Ramm, and newcomer ,

Rudy Rhoades from Montana .Koon,no stranger to Vancou-

ver fans, is equally deadly fromthe field or at the free throw II

line . Ramm and Patnoe wer eteam mates at Washington.

Ramm played last year in th eArmy and was named to theAll-Army team .

"Zip" Rhoades averaged 2 0points a game at Montana las tyear and received honorable

mention on the "Look" All .American . Stan Glowaski at 6'4 "and Rhoades (6'3") and LarryRamm (d'3") give the 'guardslots of height .

The Seattle team has threetall centers in Bruno Boin (6'8") ,Rod Gibbs (6'8") and George Mc -Langhlin, a dwarf at 6'6" .

George is a former serviceplayer and last year helpedthe San Francisco Olympic Clu bto second place in the AA UTournament. Bruno Boin scored492 points for Washington i n1957 . Rod Gibbs was an Ever -green Conference star with CPS !and like Boin, has a fine shot . I
