Fellow Students :Today we are voting on an

important building r e f e r e n-c1um . The details of the propos -al have been outlined in TheUbyssey and at the Genera lMeeting and I don't propos eto repeat them here . There are ,however, two points I woul dlike to present to you and ofwhich I feel you should b eaware when voting.

The first is directed to thos ewho are unaware of exactly

why a "package" is being pr e-senteel . rather than a choic ebetween 'a Winter Sports Cen-tre or a Student Union Build-ing . The main reasons tha tlead council to its conclusio nmay be stated simply .

The package proposal rea-sonably satisfies the two legi-timate building needs of theAlma Mater Society . The pack-age proposal has attracted fin-ancial. support from the Ad-ministration . The package pro -

posal has a chance of over -coming the rigid constitutiona lbarrer of a two-thrds approval .

A split proposal, a choice o feither a Winter Sports Centreor a Student Union Building ,would have one legitimatebuilding need- completely un-satisfied .

A split proposal would no tnecessarily receive financial as-sistance from the Administra-tion . But the most unfortunatecharacteristic of a split pro-

posal is a result of the consti-tutional need of any one pro-posal receiving two-thirds o fthe vote in its favor .

It is doubtful that at thi stime two-thirds of the votin gstudents would support on eproject or the other . It is feltthat the vote would be abou tequally divided between theStudent Union Building andthe Winter Sports Centre an dsuch a split would necessaril ycause both to fall .

For these reasons, amon gothers, the Council feels th epackage proposal to be th eonly fair test of whether o rnot the students wish to con-tinue their tradition of con-tributing to the physical devel-opment of our unversity .

The second point I wouldlike to make is this :

Now or neverWhy should you vote for the "package" in the referendum

today?

There are several excellent reasons for doing so .

First, you should vote for the project because it may very

well be a now or never proposition .

The administration has the money ($500,000) to contribute

to the project now.

There is only one suitable piece of property not already

assigned—and this is being avidly sought after by several ex-

panding faculties.

Should the project be delayed by a "no" vote today: 1 . we'd

probably lose "D" lot ; 2 . we would forfeit a very favorable deal

from the administration—a deal that might never again be

available .

Second, you vote for the project because there is a dem-

onstrable need for both structures. Anyone who has attended

a large dance in the Armoury will readily admit that it is - a

poor spot for such functions. The new union building will pro -

vide an excellent dancing area.

Most of us have run into trouble at one time or anothe r

-trying to find a place to eat lunch . Plans call for adequate eat-

ing facilities in the new building .

- Brock. Lounge is a poor place for speakers and other events .

In fact, it is useful only for banquets. Plans for the new build-ing provide for an auditorium for such functions .

Brock is also poor in lounges . We need lounges—not cav-

erns like Brock Lounge—but small lounges designed for relaxa-tione--perhaps with magazines and records provided .

This new structure provides all the facilities the presen t

Brock lacks. What's more it provides them in an area easil y

accessible to the whole campus :

And still further, it provides a base for the erection of a

complete student union building when the Brock becomes an-tiquated, as it surely will be in the not too distant future .

We have a responsibiliy to provide foundations for futur e

generations to build on

. As for the ice arena, what more appropriate recreatio n

facility could the students of a winter session university build ?

Recreational facilities are pitifully lacking on this campus .Skating and curling are stellar recreatiqnal activities (not to

mention broomball) . ,Besides, hockey is a top spectator sport—

and what's more it's Canada 's national sport .

Total host for winter sports arena and student recrea-

tion building will be $1.3 million. Students will contribute only

$750,000 .

We urge you to vote yes in today 's referendum.

Show that you recognize the needs of this campus .

Show that you have, faith in your elected representatives .

Recognize the three years work tha have gone ino this pro-

ject .

Realize that the Student Council has fought and won in

man} *egotiation battles with the administration to get

the Taal concessions they have obtained: a contribution

of $500,000 ; guarantee of an AMS loan, possibly at a preferred

interest sate; a choice piece of property, sought after by several

ether university organizations; representation to the extent of

half on the board of management for the proposed sports arena.

Recognize a . good deal when you see one .

Vote YES .

Just An ExcuseThe Editor ,The Ubysse yDear Sir :

Certain fraternity men, whe nasked about discriminatoryclauses in their fraternity con-stitutions -say that their chap-

ters are against discriminatio nbut that they must remain inthe international organizatio nand "fight from within", andthis excuse has been peddledon this campus from as farback as I can remember .

But just what does this state-ment mean in the context ofthe present situation? Onlyseven out of one hundre d

eighty chapters and alumn igroups, it would seem, hav egiven eveii moral support t othe Stanford ATO , which ad-mitted four Jews and was eject-ed from the ATO internationa lfor violating the racial bar i nthe constitution (Ubyssey—1 0March 1961) .

The racial bar will stay inas long as anti-Negro, anti-Oriental and, anthsemetic feel-ing is fairly strong in manySouth and many fraternitiesquarters such as the Americanwill continue to say "We'll stayand fight from within, "

This can be taken to mean ,We'll accept the discriminator ystatus quo (since there is littlelikelihood of dieing) but we'l lmake a token show to pleasethe people back home ."

If the U$C-ATO had anygumption or believed strongl yenough in racial equality, theywould start a movement amon glike-minded chapters and with-draw in protest, en masse, fro mthe ATO international and es-tablish a rival but equalitaria ninternational and therebymake it easier for other ATOchapters to make a definit echoice between the two sids .

But I suppose that I am bein gtoo idealistic . Realistic peopl ewould realize that these thing stake time and that ideals mus tbe sacrificed for group solidar-ity and the fine fraternity tra-dition. After all, everyoneknows that belonging to a fra-ternity international is mor eimportant than a few democra-tic principles — except maybethose boys at Stanford.

Yours truly ,— STANLEY T . FUKAWA ,

yours truly ,

It's' money, fellows

"The council is trying to pull a fast one. "

So hollered one of the mock politicians at Thursday' sgeneral meeting .

Other speakers followed suit.

And most people swallowed it .

Why?

Student council is a body of elected representatives—rep-resenting the whole of UBC 's population. They are not tryingto `shaft' the students. They would gain nothing by doing so .

The Council is elected in the interests of efficiency .Twelve thousand students in open debate could never arrive a ta sane, satisfactory solution to any problem.

A relatively small group of informed individuals can bet -ter investigate and evaluate a situation.

The council has come to a unanimous decision. This de-cision was not easily arrived at. Three years of negotiationsand six months of discussions were necessary to solve theproblems. During this time every student had the opportunit ytoo sit in on these meetings. Few did .

Now the council puts forth its `package deal' and asksyou to accept it .

It 's not a bad deal . The cost to the students for both pro-jects is $750,000. Should the referendum be defeated and theadministration withdraw their financial support, the Unio n

Building alone could cost us more than $800,000 .That:s an obvious saving of $50,000—and we get both

buildings.

Perhaps the student contribution towards this projectcan "be added to the development fund . This would mean thatthe government would match the students dollar for dollar,

The University would obtain $750,000 .Regardless of which building you feel best satisfies the

need of the students, it is financially advantageous to vote'for the package .

It's really a matter of dollars and cents fellows .

And it may be now or never .

—R.M.

point .". This test tube babyconditioned by "advances" o fthe past three hundred years ,thinks all criticism should be"founded by research an dfacts . "

Well I say hogwash, balder-dash and chicken fat . How canthe real value of editorials an dopinion columns, that is, toprovoke thought and discus-sion, be achieved without pre-judice .

Even if you don't accept thisthere is nothing wrong withprejudice . Why be stifled bythe rigours of rational, scienti-fic, unprejudiced analysis? Whynot just say what you thinkand damn-those who ask facts .

I am prejudiced and I'mproud of it: I hate nationalismand I hate Republicans . I detestthe vile stench that issues fromour Social Credit governmentand I wouldn't degrade mysel fto spit across the street at acabinet minister.

on various building proposalssince September, after numer-ous meetings between represen-tatives of the Council and theAdministration, after confer-ences with the architects, afterspecial Student Council meet-ings and extended regularmeetings and after much earlydivision of opinion, the unani-mous conclusion of every mem-ber of the Student Council isthat the building proposal be -ing offered today is the bestpossible proposal than can beplaced before the students ofthis university .

This week I have two nom-inations for the Completely

Useless Party as we missedlast week .

The nominations are peoplewho gleefully tell me earl yMonday morning that theexam schedule is posted andpeople who call stealing ,souvenir hunting .

Queen's University studentsare tired of pushing beds fo rnew records . They are tryingsomething else .

Two Queen' s men claim anew record. by drinking 2 0bottles of hard liquor in 3 6hours .

The bout over, a new recordhad been established; not the20 bottles, not the 36 hours ,but a two-and-a-half-day hang -over . A challenge to othe runiversities has been issued toequal this mark .

I'd like to try but I couldn' tafford it .

* *The girls back east have

done it again . Over 75 McGil lUniversity co-eds were outshining the shoes of the glor-ious males. They even tookshoe-shining lessons from aprominent shoe shine eem-pany .

The girls were out takin gcare of their own, They wereraising $350 to provide ascholarship for some luckyco-ed .

UBC co-eds should think o fsomething better than shin-ing shoes . Well girls ?

* * *Only two students turne d

out to debate at the Univer-sity of 'Saskatchewan . RayMack, Debating Directorat epresident blamed that nast yold apathy .

The way I see it their aretwo solutions to their prob-lem; Either... CUP' can start abranch chaptc 'on : Asir plat-form of apAttlli-or maybe tli+cg'should pick interesting topicslike UBC does .

~c . * *

The Carleton, Carletonundergraduate newspaper, hasfinally found out what is thematter with co-eds .

They don't think !The reasons are such

"younger" co-eds attempts todeny sexual attraction unlikethe mature girl who draws aflexible line up to which sheenjoys a sexual attraction .

She equates love with mar-riage. When she meets her

first attractive man she hear swedding bells . The man is to o

busy explaining that he stil l

has years of college ahead of .him and no intention what -

ever of marrying for a goo d

long time, He then tends tosteer away from sweet youngthings in the future .

The article goes on to. con-demn-the shallow level of th eco-eds conversation . Theythink of clothes, movies, andmovie stars instead of art,absolute morality, govern-ment, and , literature .

The article ends with a nemphatic demand for co-eds to .THINK.

I'm sure most of the UB Cmales would prefer theydidn't THINK.

* * *This is the season of goo n

editions .Typical of the articles which

are appearing is the one inthe McGill Daily which an-nounces professors. must satis -fy a 65% requirement on anexam set by high school stud-ents before they will be allow-ed to lecture .

A professor who does notwr,ite an examination may, ifhe wishes; submit a 20,00 0word essay on "Why I WantTo Teach" .

Commenting on the innova-tion, one professor suggesteda bilateral disarmament treatymay be established . `By est-ablishing exams for profes-sorf?, students can barter" ;,, .

Another, professor said, ," lthink some of my colleague swould contrive to fail be -cause they hate teaching" .

Idea for the examinationwas attributed to 1Vl;cGill' sstudent president . Too bad ourelected representatives aren' tso forward looking .

One of the main issues wa ssummer employment, which isforbidden to these students bylaw; although government offi-cials often turn their heads th eother way .

John Manion of the depart-ment explained that the regula-tions state that a student maytake a job only if it is directlyconnected with his line of study ,and if there is no Canadian tofill the job . He added that diffi-culties have arisen of the pres-ent employment crisis .

The students also felt that in -formation supplied to them be -fore they arrived was inade-quate . They claimed it was diffi-cult to obtain information aboutthe universities in the country ,basic information about thecountry itself other than geo-graphies and statistical analys-es, and many small bits of, in-formation such as what typ eof clothing to bring, and howbus stops are designated .

Upon arrival, the problemswere reception and. orientation .Often students were not metat airports and other places, andno : attempt was made to see thatthey know what to do and whereto go.

been offended by South Africa 's continued membership . . .

have got paid for appearing on .that programme ?

BOB: Don't see why not . He hasn 't been working steady, s o

he ' ll need the dough .BOB: Starr seems to have' gone out of his way to discredit .

two-time the CBC and the public, what difference doe s

The second Spring exhibi-tion of the B .C . region of th eFederation of Canadian Art-ists is currently showing atthe Maritime Museum in Kitsi-lano .

There are one hundred andseven pictures and six piecesof sculpture . The exhibitionis bright and cheerful . If theartists are amateurs, and ther egenerally seems to me to be arefreshing absence of mone yabout the place . However, IWish to comment today o nseveral of the paintings, no tengage in doubtful polemic .

To begin with, the show isamateurish : The artists them -selves happily admit this, ex-plaining that most of themare amateurs who engage inthe 'Painting in the Park' ses-sions in the summer, and wh oset up tiny studios at homeduring the winter . Their workis usually, derivative ; oftenit is downright imitation . Butthere are a l s o paintings ofsome value here some hu-morous, some very serious .Amongst others areMary Lou Crerar No. 2 1

This sea-scape is in pleas-ing pastel tones, but lacksenough green. Unfortunately ,the heavy bristle and palett estrokes break up what shoul dbe a well-integrated back -ground. I wonder whetherthe horizon ought to havebeen as clearly defined as i tis ?Howard Kellond No . 58

A view of False Creek thatreeks of Van Gogh . This art-ist should ask himself wha texactly Van Gogh was doing .J. Aikens No . 1

Mr. Aikens posed his modelso uncomfortably that he cotllclnot possibly dream in thatposition . He would have todrop his glass, bring his el-bows closer together so tha the could really lean on hi sfoerarms, and drop his chi nlower. Had he done thesethings, Mr . Aikens might hav ebeen able to turn his canvas

Very enjoyable,• in dulltones. Its focal point is un-

usual .

Jim Jickling No . 5 4Very humorous and cheer-

ful . I understand that a pedi-atrician has purchased thi sand will hang it in his waitingroom .

Fred Schaeffer, No. 87This gentleman has a great

deal of technical ability, bu tnothing to say with it .Clive Daly, No. 22

Studio interiors are a time-honored subject . Unfortunate-ly, Mr. Daly, looking into thi sstudio, saw with his eye andnot with his heart . He triesto make up for this lack offeeling by applying color vig `orously, even flamboyantly ,to his canvas, but this servesin the end to compound hisoriginal error. I think thatviews of ones' own studiomust be very difficult . Thebest are always of other peo-ples .Derek Seddon, No . 94

Very often it is the surprisein art that count s. I thinkthat this is the best paintingin the exhibition — no doub tabout it . A very spontaneou s,picture, and the square shapes:on one side flash up againstthe rounds on the other . Ap-parently Mr . Seddon oftenuses a dark mass to balanc eout his pictures .

through ninety degrees an dso fit in all the head . Thepainting is well finished—bu tOh, that superfluous glass :Helen Douglas No . 2 6

Her Late Winter Up Th eFraser is one of the most at-tractive pieces in the exhibi-tion: However, she does tendto reiterate her lines, curve sand shadows unnecessarily .For instance, the elbow o fbank on the far side of theriver would have done ver ywell in crimson. It did notneed to be underlined in black .Sam Black No. II

I believe that this is eventu-ally to be called 'School-girlWaiting' . Molded in polyrock ,it had almost naively clea nlines 'and a great deal of inno-cence. It escapes all embellish-ment . Something about thissuggests that it might wel lstand in the children's cornerof the public library .

"There is no reason -whyUBC should be the only major ,university without an ic earena" said UBC hockey coac hAl Stuart in a statement pre-pared for The Ubyssey .

"The primary inportance o fthe arena would be the all-round use by the studen tbody," he said . There is littledoubt that the arena woul dbe used full time as publicsessions in other city rinksare always jammed ."

"The hockey team wouldbe helped greatly ." The Birdspresently get less practicetime than any other majorcollege on the continent .

He said Alberta and Sas-katchewan practise at leasttwo hours a day, five days aweek, while UBC practisedone hour a day, three daysa week .

"While the other teams pr-ac--Use after classes during theday, UBC practises as late as1 :00 a .m. and never before10:30 p .m." he said .
