We'll miss itOld 'Councillors have left office. New have taken over.

This is the last edition of The Ubyssey for 1960-61. It is

the sixty-fourth paper published by this year 's pubsters .

A lot has happened this year. And it may sound schmaltzy ,

but we feel a wave of nostaglia as we look back .

We 're going to miss telling you about the tinsel world

sf student government . We 're going to miss trying to inform

you, entertain you, fool you — and foist our opinions on you.

We think that a great deal has been accomplished in stu-

dent affairs this year . There is a large group of people who

deserve thanks for this . Unfortunately, we can't mention them

all here .Certain achievements are worthy of note . First in imr

portance is the new form of student government .

And there exists in that a great challenge . The under -

graduate - society presidents must take their responsibilitie s

seriously if it is too work . They must look at the needs, of the

campus as a whole and drop any parochial tendencies they

might have .

-

-Several people deserve credit for this innovation . There

are the forerunners — Mr . Bawner, Mr. Mutarnbikwa and

LVIr . Haskins "" who produced reports giving this year 's Coun-

cil something to go on .There is AMS PRO, Mark Daniels, without whose con-

tinual prodding nothing might have been done. There are

Ross- Craigie - and :Russell Brink, who drew up the proposal

whi4 served as the foundation for the final plan . And there

is Piesident Dave Edgar, whose insistence on quick action

put the thing over the top .

The- student. 'union building-winter sports arena projec t

also deserves mention . Mastermind Ross Craigie i,s responsible

for the plans and for the successful negotiations with the ad-

ministration .There is the long overdue revision in the discipline sys-

tem, 'for which hustling John Goodwin deserves credit . He

brought more spark to the vice-presidents office than has

been t seen for sole ' years .Other Councillors deserve credit for other reasons . The

elections were run very well this year by Returning Officer

Russ Brink and Elections chairman Chris Davies .

For other things, Councillors deserve something less tha n

credi .

1Text year 's Council should do its best to avoid two evil s

exhibited by this year 's Council — sheep" voting and lack o f

information and conviction on important issues .

We hope the new Council will accept the challenge — and

we hope that you will back them up .

`Bye no wThe Ubyssey wishes to take this oppoftunity to thank

all those who have helped us this year. And this includes all

those who have favored us with constructive criticism, either

'through letters to the editor or in person .

We would like to thank College Printers for the co-operatio n

they have given us, and especially Jim Milliken, Don Blis s

and Terry Prentice .

-We are grateful for help received from Publications Co-

-ordinator Ross Craigie and Advertising Manager Lauri e

Frisby. Both haxee, .done -excellent jobs this year .

We would also like to thank you for reading The Ubyssey .

Without you, we would not exist. We have done our, best t o

please you. We hope we have -succeeded in some measures,

THE uBYSSE Y

Another 'Fairplay'?Editor,

The Ubyssey .Dear Sir :

-

Now that the Union of SouthAfrica has been forced to sig-nify her intention of withdraw-ing from the Commonwealth ofNations, it seems reasonablethat we consider forming . a"Fair-play for South Africa So-ciety" to fill up the vacuumcreated .

The objectives of such a so-ciety must include, I think, theregaining by South Africa of

embership in the Common-,wealth Club .

At the moment, South Afric ais espoused to the policy of"apartheid," and is unwillin gto divorce herself from it . How-ever, since it is quite likelythat she will not be able tomaintain her policy everlast-ingly, I therefore think that itis only a matter of time beforeshe seeks once more, the coun- ,sel and refuge which the Com-monwealth Club is ready to af-ford her .

The proposed "Fair-play forSouth Africa Society"will pro-vide 'excellent opportunitiesfor working out the best waysof providing continuity to thestruggle against "apartheid ." I twill not •, only. ease, SouthAfrica's "face-saving" pains ,but will also help to -achiev epeace in that strife-torn coun-try.

Yours respectfully ,BABULAL RAMLOGAN ,

Frats Agai nEditor ,The Ubyssey .Dear Sir : '

Many students at this uni-versity have been approachedto sign a petition condemningthe two campus fraternitiesthat limit their membership t oChristians of the white race .Good idea .

But why expel them fromthe campus? Only - very fewstudents would support racialdiscrimination ; but do, not allof you believe in the -tradition-

al freedoms of speech, thoughtand religion in Canada ?

I suggest- that all - advocatorsof this petition stop and thinkfor awhile. Is our personalfreedom not already restrictedenough? If certain peoplewould form a brotherhood un-der their own standards wouldyou discriminate against them ?—you, advocators of non-dis-crimination? If you want t oconvert the poor mis=informedfellows, by all - means do so ,but don't take away their free-dom, don't persecute them .

I may be wrong, and if I a mI would be gladly set right, bu tI see no harm being done b ythe fraternities in question . Ifyou -don't like them, don't joi nthem .

Yours for freedom ,TREVOR CHANDLER ,

Unfortunately Mrs . Brown' srespect isn't extended to in-clude the rights of these stu-dents.

Free thought, kind red movements sereadozY,

Defence of atheismBy JACK ORSTEIN

A report of an enquiry thereint oby H. M. ROBERTS

'Onward Christian soldiers ,Each to war resigned ,

With the Cross of Jesu sVaguely kept in mind .—From the N.Z. Rationalis t

Prudery, bigotry, and injus-tice are often discussed unfav-orably by considerate folk andThe Ubyssey. But to what ex-tent is such sentiment mobil-ized for action? What litera-ture about it is circulated ?This question led me to under-take an extensive enquiry ,which has lasted well over ayear, into the organization o fthe movement to reduce prud-ery, bigotry, and injustice, par-ticularly into the English-speaking world . This move-ment is specifically the Move-ment of freethought and kin-dred disciplines .

Before any description of theMovement is given, a glossaryof essential terms is in order :Civil liberty .

Right of free conduct andright to fair jurisdiction .

ClericalismA bossing of government bythe clergy and a procurin gof government favors by theclergy, which is still wide-spread .

Ethical cultureA way of life in which, un-

like ovas, morals are mor eimportant than mores .

Freethough tFormulation of beliefs freefrom determination by defer-ence or emotion .

HumanismDevotion to human rathe rthan divine interests, or tothe human race rather thanindividual .

Liberal religio nReligion that is not dogmati cbut open-minded, unpreju-diced, and humanitarian .

LiturgyA form of public worship ,a service involving not onlysermon but some ceremony.

RationalismPractice of treating reasonas the ultimate authority i n

religion as elsewhere, a log -ical approach to the procure-ment of man's wants.

SecularismThe opposite of clericalism :separation of church andstate, freedom of and fro many given religion .If these concepts are born e

in mind, the organizational ar-rangetnent give at the end o fthis article perforce become smeaningful .

If you have any degree o fsympathy for the freethough tmovement, there is a place an da publication in it that suitsyou . Moreover, if there can beduty to mankind, then you ar eobliged to inform yourself of

and support the movement —I hope you may exercise yourright to do so . Why your duty ?Consider the myriad of per -sons of the past and presentowing to whose struggling youpossess the freedom of though tand conduct you now enjoy . Tohonor those of the past whoearned your freedom, you ca nearn freedom for posterity ; torespect those who now workfor your freedom, you cna helpthem sustain it . Anyway, what -ever your degree of sympathyfor and your orientation i nfree thought, there is a plac eand publication that wouldtake your fancy . From prac-tical affairs to scholarly con-siderations, from rights of ma nto truths of nature, from satir-ical criticism to deep-felt litur-gies, wherever your interest slie, they can be served by amagazine and/or an organiza-tion from the wide array ofthem in the freethought move-ment .

Your curiosity might nowarise concerning a director ygiving descriptions and ad-dresses of these organzationsand magazines . For every or-ganization shown in the organ-izational arrangement conclud-ing this article, and for morethan that number of period-icals, there is an entry in theirrespective directories . This di -rectory is available for you rperusal at the reference deskof the Social Sciences Divisionin the Library .

Few are in a position bette rto appreciate the freethough tmovement than are universit ystudents and teachers ; as a mat -ter of fact, they are a sourc eof much energy contributed t othe Movement, To them, doe snot apply :

Rock of ages cieft for me ,Let me hide myself in thee .While the bombers thunder

past ,Shelter me from burn and

blast ;And though I know all men

are brothers ,Let the fall-out fall on others .

Newman Club tochange constitutio n

The Newman Club will pre -sent a resolution to their Gen-eral Meeting March 30 to hav ethe name of the club changedand to adopt a new constitution .

The constitutional changes -have resulted from a study-un-dertaken by a special committeeset up to find out why the clubwas not functioning efficiently .

When contemporary theolo-gians (often existentialists) sto psaying unintelligible thing s(`God is love', `Thou and I' ,`faith transcends reason,' etc .) ,they invariably end up sayingabsurd things. Unfortunatel ytheir god-concept raises manymore problems than it wassummoned to solve .

A close look at one of theworst of these should convincethe intelligent reader (and yo uall are!) of the absurdity of thetraditional religious viewpoint .Non-traditional viewpoints (e .g .existential Christianity and re -form Judaism) are so patentl ysilly that I am sure that noneof you could seriously conside rthem, let alone make sense ofthem .

If g . created the world andis omniscient (infinitely ,wise),then he knows for . certain ex-actly what we shall do in al lcases . He presumably mad ethis universal machine and`wound it up .' Hence we couldnot surprise g .

This being the case, in whatsense is man free? Freedominvolves a -choice and alternatives, but if g . 'knows infalliblywhat we aril going to do, the nwe are not free to do other -wise . The essence of freedom,and hence moral responsibility ,is that we could have doneotherwise that we did .

Religion then, rather thanbeing a basis for morality, -ab-solves us of all moral responsi-bility, since we are bound toact as we do, if there is anomniscient creator.

All our `free choices' hav e(presumably) been recorded inthe divine mind from the be-ginning of time (g.-being time-less!), therefore any feeling of -freedom we may experience isdeceptive — especially since g .planted this feeling in us . I seeno way out of this dilemma .Either man does really havechoices some of the time - o rthere is an all-wise g . who`knew it all the time .'

It grieves me to concludethat g . himself is guilty for al lthe pain and suffering that ha stranspired in the universe .Shall we dpom him to eternal

punishment? Of course not . Weare rational and humane an dhave only thanks in our heartsthat we are not really the sin-ners we thought we were . Butthere must surely be some` ap-propriate treatment for -onewho has done so much to s omany .

And this is where atheismcomes in. Nothing is moredamaging to one's ego (or superego!) than to be ignored ordenied. Hence I suggest tha tall those who would pay g.back in kind become militan tatheists .

If you are afraid to do this ,then I accuse you of being a naccessory - to the crimes com-mitted by g. Of course youwill claim that you hav e`chosen' to believe in g . — , butremember that if he's all-wise ,then he . knew ' which . ` choice'you would make .

It follows- that anyone whobelieves in an omniscient g.implicitly claims that he hadto accept this. belief- since g .knew all the time what . hewould come to believe .

It also follows - that even g .himself could not act freelysince he knew all the timewhat he was destined to do .See the absurdity in the con-cept of an all-wise g . ?

Finally, if anyone criticizesme for being `blasphemous', orin any way suggests that free`thought' (I flatter myself) besuppressed at this university,then remember that an omnis-cient g . KNEW from time ,im-memorial that I was going towrite this, therefore I hold himmorally responsible, providinghe - exists of course !

Friday, March 24, 196 1

The student role will becom emore important in Africa sinc eleadership is changing hand ssaid the four student panelists ,Tuesday in Bu. 104, speakin gon What Future for Students i nEmerging Africa . "

A different type of democ-racy is maintained in Africa, notfollowing the British or Ameri-can .

In particular, "Ghana needspolitical organization and stabil-ity to develop its economic struc-ture," said Euge Mlrnte. "Toomuch economic dependence caninfluence political decisions . Theinformed student can educate hi speople about these problems ; hecan help alleviate class con-sciousness : by assimulating withthe masses."

ISl RA,T HUSAIN from Paki-stan maitained that the Afri-cans have the ability to emerge .'Traditional superstitions, pov-erty, ignorance, and hungerhave always blocked Africanunity; the educated inevitablywill lessen these handicaps .

Drinkers - damagesinformation please

Take notice that the Disci-pline Committee is investigatinginto the matter of damage in-curred to personal property atthe Annual AMS Spring GeneralMeeting.

Persons desiring to give evi-dence in this matter are directedto the hearing to be held onthe 77th day of Marc, at 1 :0 0p.fri„ in the - Vice-president'sOffice, Brock Hall .

Trained administrators and per-sonnel are missing from the Afri-can nations; students can' helpfill this gap . "

JOHN LAWDER from theUnion of South Africa empha-sized that more education wa snecessary to better the rela-tionships .between the non-Europeans . "It was. . paradoxa lthat the policy of apartheid wa smaintained, for the blacks, whoare now being educated by th eEuropeans are going to be th efuture leaders of anti-aparthei dpolicies," he said .. The panelists all agreed thatAfrica needed more educationand more trained administrat-ors .

They all felt that Africa wa snow in 'the process of playinga larger `part in world affairs .

Peace corps beingformed in Canada

By COLEMAN ROWYALIS

A movement similar to U.S. President John Kennedy 's

Peace Corps is gainging momentum in Canada .

Friday, March 24, 1961 THE UBYSSE Y

The idea of students aidin gunder-developed countries is notbrand new, and variations of i thave been in existence for sometime, but not until recently hasthere been a definite programwhich would give the maximumbenefit to both the country be-ing helped, and the individual

would allow graduates to taketheir training to foreign coun-tries, living and working at thelevel of the common people,came into focus this week inOttawa.

A temporary committee wa sEstablished to further the pro-posals and it was learned tha tthe Government; of Ghana haslaude an offer of financial as -4istanee to help bring studentsto"that̀ country . t

'Essentially, schemes such as

these will operate on a partner-ship basis between Canada andthe host countries. In this man-ner, the Canadian student bene-

'fits from an increased world,is-

,consciousness, through an inti--mate knowledge of I the lives andcustoms of other peoples ; andthe recipient emit-dry, in addi-

tion to the tangible aid fro mthe student's skills, benefits fromthe intangible good will an dunderstanding that d e v el o pwhen people live and work to-gether, on a day-to-day basis .UBC ACTIV E

In no way will this detractfrom the work of experts inthe international field . Rather ,such schemes will complementthe work the experts perform(whose success in such countrie sas Indonesia, Ghana and Sara-wak is obvious) .

UBC has been particularly ac-tive in the formative stages o fthe program, and has set up aPresident's committee, represen-ting faculty, students, and ad -ministration. The committee i spresently investigating thosedeveloping countries which wil lrequire and request assistancein the fields of home economics ,education, medicine and engi-neering .

One of the proposals of theUBC committee is that graduatestudents assume teaching assign-ments in many of the new uni-versities in Africa and Asia .

Applicants will be selected onthe basis of their aptitude t ocomseunicat'2 their knowledge,and Eo get along with others .They will be expected to relatewhat they learn to other futurevolunteer students .

The deadline for application sfor the first country to be aided ,Ghana, will be the end of April ,1961 .

There are only three weeksleft before the exams, and onl ythree hundred RAVENS left intheir bookstore aviary. This.year's RAVEN, to refresh yourmemory, carries reviews of allseven novels on the English100 course . There may be some -thing to be gleaned by YOUwhich will be of value in thetesting times ahead .

Barrie Hale's review of TH EGREAT GATSBY, for instance ,in which he says :

Or the same critic's reviewof HemingwayE's. FAREWELLTO ARMS, which begins :

If you don't want my

peaches, why do you shake

my tree ?The western is generally th e

most sterile, barren, and con-vention-ridden of m o v i e

genres. Those who attendedThe Magnificet Seven with me

were so busy watching thestandard non - sensuous ele-ments—plot, character, theme ,et al — of the movie that theynever discovered that it wasn :tjust another western . Theymissed the whole point of apicture that was as full of deli-cate sensations as such clas-sics as Ocean's 11 and Our Manin Havana . I claim that m y

delicate sensations are reality .In The Magnificent Seven

explicit content exists o n 1 yfor the sake . of establishingand focussing implicit formalqualities. Plot, character andtheme are obvious and trivial .The movie's raison d'etre is it ssensuous surface . And this isthe correct approach — m yonly criticism would be tha tthe story line might have beeneven more suppressed in favo rof sensuous surface .

In most westerns the killin ghas both brevity and a loath-some moral earnestness. Inthis picture it went on and enwith an exquisite combination

of rhythmic grace and light-

hearted brutality . No protract-

ed grimacing and sweatin gmorality . The pace keeps the

proceedings from ever becom-ing thin and hard — the scene swhich are obligatory but un-

interesting are hustled past you

Howel lto leave

By RON KYDD

Rugby coach Max Howell, oneof UBC's foremost coaches, yes-terday confirmed a Ubyssey re-port of March 14 that he will beleaving the University this sum-mer .

Howell said he is leaving UBCSeptember 1 for the Universityof Alberta, where he will con-centrate on graduate work andresearch into the more scientifi caspetts of physical training. Hewill not be coaching rugby, hesaid. He already has his master' sdegree in P .E .

LAST GAMEHowell, who leads his charge sinto the World Cup rugby gameat the stadium Saturday, says hewill undoubtedly miss the thrillof coaching rugby .

He feels, however, that Alber-ta will offer him a wider scope

d in research than he could obtainanywhere else in Canada .

"I want to remain in Canada, "Howell said. "I like the countryand I like the people . "

Howe 11 will teach summe rschool this year before he leave sfor Edmonton.

Of his experiences at UBC ,Howell's outstanding memory isof coaching swimming in 1955 ."When UBC won the EvergreenConference Swim Meet t h a tyear, it was the biggest thrill Ihave had as a coach . "

GREAT TEAMWhen speaking of this year 's

rugby team, Howell could no thide his pride in "his boys" .. "They are a helluva goo dbunch of competitors" he said ."The nicest bunch I've ever

coached. After suffering the lossof two key players at the begin-ning of the year, we dropped a

few games ."But the boys did what we

asked, and now they are one ofthe best united teams I've seen:They really fight ."

11IORTHZ BIRDSBy MIKE HUNTER

You, friend, believe it or not, are reading the last regula r

edition of `the' 1960=61 Ubyssey . I 'm glad too . But read on ,

just this once .

New, this year the Sports department has been different ,

to- say the least. In past years, he sports pages have sometimes

been carbon copies of Booster Club promotion poster, an d

sometimes mere apple-polishers for Gym-types.

Great . Just the way it ought to be, you say. Banner head -lines - boosting games get people out . Gives players moral sup-

port . .

It should be the duty of the student newspaper to boos t

games . Great . Except you made the mistake of saying "news-paper". The Ubyssey'has been a newspaper this year, fo r

the first time in many years .

This year, we have put more emphasis on reporting . We

have editorialized and commented on subjects which wefelt needed editorial comment . We have said in print whatethers keep under the table for fear of being disliked by coach-

es and players .For. our efforts we have received assorted abuse, ranging

from much to much too much .

We have heard nasty words from the anti-athletic peopl efor printing far too much sports . We have heard even . nastier

words from the pro-athletic people for printing not enough

sports .

Look, Ma, no brainsBut we've had fun. We've found but, by one means or

another, that people have read the sports pages this year.

They've read skydiving stories, fake Tampax ads, ,corny

jokes, -gunny sports shorts, alongside the regular news . But

is -got - them reading that regular news as well.

And, despite what many think, the regular news coverag e

ias been better than before . More sports have been given

pace. More pictures and stories have been run.

We 've said such ridiculous and outrageous things as "Dr.

lax Howell is leaving for greener pastures . " Ridiculous.

It-ter trash. Mere rumour. Only Dr. Max Howell is leaving,

rid presumably the pasture where he's going is greener .

We have also said :

• Magee will win the High School Basketball tourna-

ext year .

-

▪ Printers and proofreaders are sometimes illiterate or

iebriated, but usually superhuman .

• Wayne Robinson took the Lion 's share of the Bi g

Jock Banquet .

• Football referees too often indulge in hanky panky .

• The Ubyssey's ace broomball team is now tied fo r

rst place- following a narrow 3-0 defeat by Chilliwack .

• Athletics are apathetic towards students, and

udents are not apathetic towards athletics .

• That Booster Clubbers, besides being, jealous of Th e

lbyssey, are usually from (gasp) Alberni, and sometimes

'ern, (gulp) West Van.

-

• People who use The Ubyssey as a scrapegoat for MAA

rid -_MAC inefficiency deserve•a dunk in the sceptic tank .

Are 'Birds bushed ?• The WCIAU, this year, was a bush league . And maybe

to Birds in the Evergreen are worth two in the Bush.

• The WCIAU is a mater of dollars and sense .

• Getting for balance while playing broomball will pu t

)n. on ice for a while . -

• Manitoba football Bisons have been buffaloed .

• The tobd Guys lost the Grey Cup. -

* The Grey Cup - is anything but Grey, until the mourn -

after, that is .

Radsoe sports interviewers are apt:04y good joea-•- Hawaiians who kick converts in their bare feet ar e

rely to have ingrown toenails .

-

• Melvin McGinnis would use a Classical' Football for-

ation

---• Charley, the horse who played baseball, never made i t

me because illiterate printers set the column in the wron g

pe •• With compulsory'P .E.s getting there is half the run.

• P.E. would be much better if it was voluntarythen

?re would be no grounds for complaint.

• Canadian amateur athletes aren't - ;sow's ears . But

ey're not Frank Reads, either . Perhaps it 's just as well .

• I still have darts and a 'map of Washington State i n

t desk for locating Evergreen Conference schools .*
