Editorid INNOCENT OR GUILTY?

Cornerstone of British justice is the fact that a man is presumed innocent until the courta decide otherwise.

The court has decided- tha t George P. Jones is innocent ; the Social Credit government has decided that he is not. Seldom haa British Columbia witnessed such a travesty of justice as is proposed by the bill pending in the legislature. This bill, if passed, would remove Mt. Jones as Chief Pur- chasing Agent for the province. A bill is necessary to remove Jones because under the present legal provisions he is responsible to the legislature only which precludes his dismissal by Civil Service bureaucrats. There is no doubt that these bureaucrats want him removed. Why?

Bumour has it that it is because Mr. Jones is a man who speaka his mind and is not afraid to cross anyone, including a Deputy Minister.

Obviously, the abortive attempt to smear Jones in the courta is to be followed by a viscious attempt to remove him in a personality vendetta waged by the “four or five people” to whom Jones referred in his speech to Uvic students on Monday.

The Social Credit government has shown a marked re- luctance to prosecute those who were truly guilty while at the same time using the law to remove political opponents in the best oligarchic tradition. Witness the long delay in the Sommers affair and the more recent foot dragging in the kal Dornan case. Apparently, the alleged forging of the Premier’s signature is less serious than the unlawful benefits charge of which Mr. Jones was acquitted.

There should be no equivocating on this matter. The objective fact is clear . , . Jones is innocent. Me has sub- mitted to the due process of law and been found innocent of any wrong doing. If the decision of the courts is to be refuted by a n irritated government, our whole system of justice is threatened.

We call upon M.L.A.’s to oppose the bill when i t is presented in the legislature. No member, either government or opposition, can support it in good conscience. In par- ticular, government members should oppose the bill. We have noted that Mr. Don Smith and Mr. John Tisdale have not been averse to opposing the government when they felt that legislation was not ‘in the public interest. This is an excellent opportunity to adopt a fearless stand.

Principle demands that justice be done. NO NATIONAL BOUNDARIES

All too often when asked to sign petitions or to speak out on important issues people decline, offering the excuse that i t won’t do any good, or that the issue does not concern them.

A commendable exception to this general practice of indifference and non-involvement are the all night vigils and marches of Toronto students protesting the suppression of negro rights in Selma.

Another exception, closer to home is the petition presently being circulated by a Uvic faculty member and student who believe that to stand by without protesting against the treatment of negroes in Selma is just as im- moral as condoning it.

Stephen Lesser, an instructor in Uvic’s Department of Political Science, and Eleanor Coldwell, a third year major in Sociology and Psychology have drafted a letter to United States President Lyndon B, Johnson, and are looking for people to add their signatures. They expect to have over 700 signatures by today.

It is unimportant that the petition .probably won’t get past the fifth secretary in charge of Canadian mail; what counts is that Uvic students feel outraged enough at the Salem situation to speak out.

Neither is it valid to argue that racial .discrimination exists in Canada, and that we should be lily white ourselves before we protest what goes on in other countries. Moral issues- know no national boundaries. This kind of rights denial concerns mankind as a whole, and ther,efore rates a protest wherever and whenever it occurs - in Canada and elsewhere.

“Psst, SCnor. You like to buy the feelthy Martlet?”

The Martlet have recognized the publication of the Univer- sity’s first book, The World of

e n t i r e l y the work of Uvic W. B. Yeats. This is almost

artistic or literary sense of the Martlet - If you have no

value of this book - surely you must have some historic sense ? If you had given it a front page treatment, as it deserves on all counts, you would be doing our University a greater service than you realize. The Martlet goes all across Canada, just as the Yeats’ exhibition of papers and books of which The World of W. B. Yeats is the of- ficial catalogue, will when its current show a t the Art Gallery 1s over. It is through this kind of publicity that you will draw exciting people both to the stu- dent body and to the faculty.

Toronto Sit-Ins Continue TORONTO (CUP) - University of Toronto students protest-

ing racial violence in -Selma, Alabama began the second day of Sit-ins on the steps of the U.S. Consulate-General here Thursday (March 11). Spokesmen said the demonstration would continue until federal action is taken to protect civil rights workers in Selma.

An all-night vigil in front of the Consulate Wedvesday night was followed by a series of incidents with police and consular officials Thursday. More than 30 students moved into the con-

by police. Many sang the freedom song “We Shall Overcome” sulate lobby in an attempted sit-in and were forcibly removed

as they were dragged to the outside sidewalk. The afternoon incident on the consulate steps marked the

second time Thursday police forcibl removed student demon- strators. About 65 students were Jragged from the consulate entrance at 8:16 a.m. to enable consulate staff to enter the build- mg.

The demonstration was sparked by the violent suppression of a march for negro voting rights in Selma, Sunday (March 7). Protesting students in Toronto asked that US. Federal authorities ensure voting rights for Alabama negroes.

Dear Sir:

thing more than . epithets and Surely one can expect some-

platitudes from the. Students’ Council of a university of 2,500.. Council reacfion t o the proposed fee raise has, f o r the most part, been appallkg and last Sunday’s meeting was n o exception. A t that time a motion w a s put for- ward stating that “in case of necessity” Council would be em- powered to organize a mass rally. The motion was Dassed but the Council stressed that this action was NOW D E F I N I T E a n d would N O T B E A DEM0.N- S T R A T I O N b u t m e r e l y a MIEETINiG! Can the Council sincerely and honestly call such a motion a satisfactory one? It certainly does not satisfy me, nor many of the other students who are deeply concerned over the proposed increase.

Not only were limiting clauses attached to the motion but three of’ the Council members lodged

against the said motion! W h o “three strongly opposing votes”

were these student ‘repreaenta- tives’? It is the duty of the Mart- let to inform the students and in not doing so the Martlet has certainly fallen short of its obli- gations.

As for “sweet nothings” en- compassing the “gist of all in- ane, fruitless ,aimless coruversa- tions” in the caf; boy, are you reaching for a defense. I maintain that no conversation is remotely like that which your cdumn depicts.

I see that the ‘Martlet was labelled unacceptable ‘by h c a l high scools. It’s unfortunate but just as well if that sort of thing is allowed to appear. A t present, high sehool students look up to university srtudents, and unless a persan wrote the column himself, or made a lucky guess, he could never comprehend your way out purpose. I showed my letter to a dozen or so students and all of them agreed with me.

As for your dissertation on spring (and your reply to my letter), I like spring a5 much as the next guy and I’m sorry if I offended you and the grade 9 essay that you admire so much.

“So far, this *has been denied me,” he said.

‘Mr. Jones said that despite the f a c t he ihad been cleared of charges of accepting favours from a car dealer while a government official, the government still wants to fire him retroactively to last October, when the charges were laid.

To d o this, Mr. [Jones charged, the government with offering him a “bribe” of one year‘s salary and a reduced pension.

Mr. Jones said the chances of being called before the legislature to state his case are ‘damn slim”.

Jones was hired for what he termed “the most sensitive and; vulnerable job in government” by Premier Bennett on the advice of former finance minister Einar ,Gundawn, and the premier‘s one-time financial advires, J. V. Fisher.

“Gelutlemen of discerment” Mr. Jones called them.

Fee raises are only “a last

Board of G o v r m ~ , wid Uvic desperate measure“ taken by the

registtar Ronald R. Jeffels, chair- ing an SCM-sponsored panel on the cost of higher education last Monday.

Although fee increases seem to be handed down “with Iheartless regularity,” said Mr. Jeffels, “the Board of Govennors is actually extrespely sensitive to the Stu- dents’ ability t o pay.”

‘‘A great deal of agonizing and soul-searching goes into these decisions,” he added.

Dr. S. A. Jennings, head of Uvic’s Mathematics Department, took a different tack when dis- cussing increased government aid to universities.

“It is very important,” D.r. J e d n g s said, “to prevent too great a proportion of govern- ment money going to a univer- sity.”

“Wholly government-support- ed institutions tend to be creat- ures of that government,” he said, and cited the example of high schools which are “100 per cent under the control of the Department of Education”.

‘‘I would be scared of this a t the university level,” Dr. Jen- nings added.

ald Baker, former UBC English Another panel-member, Ron-

professor and now an academic planner at Simon Fraser Aca- &my, warned that abolition of tuition fees would lead to more selective university admissions.

“I don’t think the government would be prepared to suffer the failure rate that is traditional,” Mr. Baker said.

Dr. John Chapman, geography professor and academlc plamer

at UBC, pointed out the differ- ence of total costs borne by stu- dents in different faculties and years.

Speaking on the swbject of student loans, Dr. Patrick M,c- Geer, Liberal MLA, said that they could Ibe used as “the surest gauge of where student .need lies.”

Dr. Jennings added that the provincial money-for-marks pro- gram often has “very interesting distorting effects” on the aca- demic programs of students who are unwilling to take difficult optional courses.

Outside the Forum, Mr. Jones added that he thought some mem- bers of the government ubjected to him, ,because h e operated in a different way than they liked.

“I’m a purchaser,” he said. “I operate in a ,businesslike manner, and’ I showed them up on three or four deals.”

Jim Taylor won the CUS inter-regional Debating finals against a team from Acadia University in Nova Scotia, Mr. Patrick Sheppard and Mr. Graeme Decari.

UBC debater Betty Hall speaking for the Affirmative defined loyalty as an abiding loyalty and devotion to one’s nation. National- ism, she said, is a necessity because it provides the energy needed in the struggle for freedom. It is a vital step towmds Internationalism.

Graeme Decari claimed for the Negative that Nationalism creates states which are too rigid and too fixed in their attitudes. National- ism, he said, leads inevitably to chauvinism.

Jim Taylor claimed that Nationalism is a necessity for the growth of unity, and for National progress. Natianalism does not cause war, he said.

Patrick ,yheppard from Acadia said that Nationalist policies preach suspicion and hatred, that Nationalism is often used as a prop .- to maintain inefficient governments, and, is used to cover legal and moral truth. “Because Nationalism narrows our horizons it is a poor second choice-a second choice we cannot afford,” he concluded.

A vigorous and witty rebuttal then followed as each team tried to shatter the others’ arguments.

Beards, Berets And Baggy Pants

After arriving at the hotel, I put on my nattiest jacket and stroll casually down to the lobby to await the arrival of over 100 U.B.C. people.

Soon they are streaming into the lobby. Some are wearing baggy pants, baggy sweaters, are carrying baggy suitcases and some are wearing baggy berets.

THE MARTLET, MARCH lS,lB66

Fee Raise Contradictory To Principles of

by HIRO TASAKA

University students across Canada are currently confronted with one of the most basic problems in student life, the question of increased tuition fees. The rise of such fees for higher educa- tion, however, ~eeme to be an international problem.

I receutly received a newspaper clipping from a friend in Japan which described the actions of students at Keio University who boycotted classes and barricaded the cam us maip gate as a protest against a proposed fee increase. ‘he arhcle further explained that university authorities had decided to implement the increase, three times higher than the previous year, in order to save the university from going bankrupt.

in the fervent desire of their children to gain a higher education, The actions of these students seems to originate entirely

and the subsequent good reputation which graduates enjoy. Since the education of most students is financed by their parents, a fee increase would prevent many people from attending university, an action which is definitely contradictory to the fundamental principle of learning, that education must be for all, not just for the rich.

In order to maintain this principle at Keio, I feel that the Japanese government must increase its financial aid to all such privately run institutions, even though each one would subse- quently have to submit to an audit of their books by the Education Ministry.

Esquimalt Students Protest Martlet Ban A group of Esquimalt High

students are indignantly pro- testing the School Board’s de-

to penetrate the confines of the cision not to allow The Martlet

Secondary schools.

Peter Bower‘s idea was de- signed to help orient future university students to the Uni- versity Way of Thinking. High School principals did not ap- prove of the plan however, and the School Board made the policy of prohibiting The Mart- let official for the whole of the Greater Victoria district.

noyed over what they consider Esquimalt students are an-

to be an infringement of their basic rights. They are protest- ing in the form of several let- ters to the editor of the school newspaper.

The paper will not be pub- lished until Friday, but the fact that the letters are to appear is already well known.

Miss Conibear, an English teacher at Esquimalt High, told The Martlet that there had been talk in her English 40 class of a petition protesting the School Board’s decision. This was two weeks ago however, and noth- ing has been heard since of the idea.

Such actions would probably

have an adverse rather than a favourable effect, Miss Coni- bear felt. Protests, she said, would only cause the admini-

become more firmly entrenched stration and School Board to

in their position.

IcWhy are they making such a fuss anyway?” she wondered. “Surely if students are that desirous of reading The Martlet they can obtain copies indi- vidually from the IJpiversity with no trouble a t all.

No Tri-Mester System Here

There has been no formal consideration of the Tri-mester year round system of opera- tion for Uvic, Registrar R. R. Jeffels said recently.

Such a system will be feat- ured, however at B.C.’s new U n i v e r s i t y , . S i m o n Fraser scheduled to open in fall ’65, S.F.U. will have three 16-week terms a year, with terminal exams at the end of each term. TWO terms would be the equiva- lent of one University year so that students, if they wished could graduate in less than three yearB.

Advocates of the system claim it will lead to more efficient use of facilities, and allow tu- dents to advance more rapidly. However, a report from the University of Michigan in 1961 says this of the three 16-week term idea, “Reaction has been uniformlyunfavourable,the feeling being that culminative fatigue quickly became a serious problem to both students and teachers.” In addition it has been rumoured that University of Pennsylvania is dropping it’s system of year-round operation this year.

* * * Mr. Jeffels also explained that

together with summer school the University buildings are at present in use about ten months of the year. “I do not feel that application of business criteria, to Universities, such as the cri- teria of full utilization of plant is possible,” he said.

Dr. S . W. Jackman of the History department said he generally disapproved of t h e idea of year-round operation.

ART AND MORALITY

It would seem that a large number of students of the Uni- versity of Victoria are con- cerned with the question of morality (or possibly with that of art).

T h e y packed the Lecture theatre “168 r e c e n t 1 y to hear A. M. Quinton discuss these topics in a talk entitled simply “Art and Morality.”

Mr. Quinton, a P d e s s o r of Philosophy at Oxford, discussed the viewpoint t h a t is valuble only insofar as it is morally en- lightening.

The major proponents of this were Plato (in the Republic), and Tolstoy (in What is Art?).

After explaining the concept, Mr. Quinton proceeded to argue against it. He maintained that the moral aspect of a work of art, although not unimportant, is completely dissociated from its aesthetic value.

H e pointed out that “Positive Aesthetic Moralism” is a part of the moralist’s outlook that all activity in life should be morally directed.

Mr. Quinton offered the alter- native outlook of the “Moral Optional Minimum.” According to this view each individual is obligated to fulfill a certain minimum moral duty, beyond which he is free to pursue other vocations than the moral one.

“A world in which only the moral vocation was followed would be a very dull one,” he opined.

He a 1 s o mentioned that moralists and anti-pleasurists usually think of “morality” and “pleasure” in a very narrow special sense.

“When they say that some- one is immoral they do not often mean that he is, for in- stance, a forger,” said Mr. Quinton.

104 HOUR LIBRARY AT REED Those pressing for longer library hours at Uvic should cite

Reed College in Portland, Oregon as an argument in their favor.

The Reed library is open a total of 103 h o u r s and 50 minutes a week.

HOW FIT ARE YOU? How fit are Uvicers ? To find out the Phys-Ed department

has been running physical fitness tests in the Gordon Head gym, at noon hours. The testing will continue all month.

The tests consists of one minute sit-ups, a standing broad jump, shuttle run, a flexed arm hang, a 50 yard dash and a 300 yard dash.

So far Phys-Ed Majors and Education 209 students,(Educa- tion students in their professional year who take t w o hours of Phys-Ed per week) have been tested.

Hours on Sunday are from 10 a.m. to 12 midnight.

Reed’s hours the rest of the week are from- 7:50 am. to midnight Monday t h r o u g h Thursdays; 7:50 a.m. to 10 p.m. Fridays; and 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. Saturdays.

These are the longest hours of all major college and univer- sity libraries in the Pacific Northwest, according to a re- cent survey taken by a college in the state of Washington.

It could be argue4 that there is a connection between this and the fact that Reed has just graduated its 24th R h o d e s Scholar.

I am’ very hesitant to write this article, not because I a m afraid t o express my views freely, but because I genuinely fear some form of reprisal from the powers-that-be in the Faculty of Education, jeopardizing my chances of graduating. Thus ,I, ,have chosen to remain anonymous.

1 am glad to notice that the winds of discontent have been blowing briskly of late through the ranks of the education under- graduates, particularly those in the secondary programme. “%cy have a considerable compilation of long-standing grievances.

The Faculty of Education is divided into two camps-the old guard and the new. The o€d guard consists of those professors who have been around since the days of the Normal School, and a few others who joined in the 1930’s. The new guar& consists of a group with more university training, and a considerably less rigid approach to teacher training.

With some notable exceptions, the Faculty is calcified from the top down. By the top, I refer t o the powers in the Department of Education, the local School Board m i c e a d the University. This calcification is enthusiastically maintained by the members of the old guard and some members of the new.

Education students h o w that they cannot criticize. It is held t o be rude, pointless and ill-considered. I have been warned many times not to speak my mind, not to criticize the methods COUTS~S, the practice teaching programme or the general frightened ,timid attitude of education students.

Fortunately, some’ education students have begun t o speak up, but only fitfully. They fear childish reprisal from super-sensitive, unbending professors and administrators. T,his is a fact. There are many true stories of students who have dared to be different, dared t o criticize, and most of them have suffered some outraeous indigni- ties at the hands of an apparently vindictive collection of small- m,inded reactionaries.

What a pathetic state of affairs! Just the other day a fifth year student, about to set out into the schools for his final practicum,

* * *

* * * Creativity is discouraged by most members of the old guard.

Lesson plans must fit a rigid pattern. Lessons are graded against a mythical model, felt by many experienced teachers to be far too idealistic and out-dated. , T h e over-all command is “do not be differentl” ,Student teachers must fit the mold, absorb all the “right” ideas and attitudes-they must $not question, must not disagree.

Teachers are criticized for not teaching their students t o think, yet thinking is t k last desirable characteristic of the model education student. Imitation is held to be the prime virtue. Many students have no desire to imitate some of the performances staged daily in education lectures.

Bernard Gillie, ex-principal of S. J. Willis and present Adminis- trator of Schools in the Northwest Territories, (and arch-critic of the teacher training programme) said recently “teachers come t o school in the morning and check their brains at the door”.

The time is long overdue for some sweeping c;hanges. The whole static, tottering edifice needs to be shaken down and rebuilt. I hope constructive critics will emerge from the woodworld and hel,p begin this task.

What Is Good For Israel For The Arabs

Israel’s Deputy Chief of Staff, Brigadier-General Aron. Doron,

THIRTEEN POWDERED

PUSSIES The memfbers of the local Cat

Protection Society have ,begun a campaign t o publicize the “truly marvellous” flavour of cat food.

Miss Agnes Satchel, owner of thirteen powdered pussies, has “Cat Food Meat Loafs” with Kitty Litter salad, and a bowl of condensed milk three times a week for supper.

The nineteen members of the society meet twice a month for banquets, featuring v a r i o u s ;homemade cat food specials. The succulent dishes range from Fish Burgers to Strongheart Steaks, toped off with delicate fishes heads and chopped mice.

M.iss Crucible Offenhaus-Blist, society president, is spearhead- iag the drive to “encourage Vic- torians to eat more for less”. The society maintains that the cat food is superb in sandwiches (especially with H F Sauce) and washes down well with a swig of Diet Pepsi.

But the price factor is held to be most important. “Just think,” says Mis Offerrhaus-Blist, “for only 29c you can buy two cans of scrumptuous meat pasty.”

. S o far, the campaign has met with limited success, as the vast majority of householders actual- ly prefer the stronger flavoured dog food.

March 6th and 7th. Fifty students went along on

the mid-term break where both snow and weabher conditions were perfect. Club president

both a challenge and a laugh for the skiers. The winners were Deirdre Humphries, Brooke Croucher, Jo Dunn, and Rick Todd.

Only half as many students participated in the second trip. Weather conditione permitted skiers to shed jackets and ski- ,pants in favour of cut-offs and shirts. Unlike the first trip, which seemed to :h,ost one casualty after another up to a grand total of seven, there were no injuries.

apparent that this was a game that could go much longer. At the Although semi-finals are always 80 minutes long. it was soon

end of regular time the score was tied 3-3 to go into a 20-minute overtime. With one minute rernaini#ng in overtime, a James Bay wing scored a corner flag try to win the game and semi-final 6-3.

The Vikings were up for this game-no-one played a bad game and many of the Uvic players wene outstanding. Les Underwood,

probably the outstanding player on the field. Tom Proud, a freshman playing his first season a t stand-off, played a superb game and was

hooker, controlled the set scrums and fed the Uvic fifteen with far more than their share of the ball. Scrum-half Mike Hutchison played his best game of the year; his speed in passing out the ball often sprung the Uvic backfield free. Bryan White, Uvic’s fastest back, had never been as defensively aggresisve. John Todd, always solid at full,back, has never played as hard. It was a team to be proud of.

James Bay started the scoring wh,en Bruce MlcFarlane, a dis- gruntled Uvic student now playing for JB,AA, ,ran the ball under *he posts for a try. The conversion attempt was blocked by speedy

second half when John Todd who had been having difficulty with Bryan White. The score remained 3-0 until half way through the

his kicks all game, was able to tie the score on a penalty kick. Just before the overtime period, Uvic’s Grey Eaton and JBAA’s Sonny Vickery were sent off for fighting and both teams were short a player for the 20 minutes of overtime.

in the game. With 10 minutes left in the first half, both Hugh Uvic was hampered ,by disabling injuries to two players early

McGillivray and Mhike Hutchison were h.urt on the same play. McGillivray’s nose was ,broken and Hutchison’s interior ligaments of the right knee were torn. Both players stayed in the game until the end of the overtime, however, thanks to liberal use of tape. The game was won in the last minute of play, when Harry Turner took a quick three-line run from a line-out across at the corner for the unconverted try and winning three points.

The Rugby season is over for the Uvic teams as the Norsemen were eliminated from second division play by the Oak Bay Wanderers by a score of 24-6. .

The editor would like to thank Mike Hutchison for contributing the Ruggah write-ups throughout the year.
