A MessageTo The

Graduates Of 1963The Government of this Province, as the representatives of the people o f

British Columbia, is pleased to utilize this opportunity to extend its congrat -

ulations to the graduating class of 1963 .

During the past years, many of the former graduates of the University

of British Columbia have made outstanding contributions to the economi c

development and to the cultural enrichment of the life of the Province .

Several of them have even achieved world-wide acclaim for their contribu -

tions in the fields of science, art and technology .

The Government of British Columbia fully realizes that, among all th e

vast resources of the Province, the most potentially valuable is the highl y

skilled person . During the past few years, many magnificent building s

have been constructed, many new facilities have been established, an d

many world-renowned professors have been added to the staff of the Uni -

versity of British Columbia . It is the hope of the Government that the

members of the graduating class of 1963 have been able to benefit fro m

these- improved opportunities and that, as graduatees of the University o f

British Columbia, they will proceed' to do their part in adding to the alread y

illustrious name of their Alma Mater .

Again, on behalf of the people of British Columbia, the Governmen t

compliments the graduating class of 1963 and wishes each member com -

plete satisfaction and success in all future endeavours .

Fire chief enjoye dUBC 's backwater

By PAT H'JRROBI NUBC's fire department is a

backwater with low ,pay andslow pace, but chief GerardForan liked it .

Foran, 47, died of hear tfailure at his desk early thi smonth. He enjoyed trying t okeep the University from go-ing up in flames .

his employer, the departmentof Lands and Forests, w h i c hbuildings were just so much .firewood .

It's classified information ,just which buildings he want-ed , scrapped—but every year ,at Fire Prevention Week, theChief sent his men down to as kFort Campers for a list offire hazards .

Feran's sense of responsi-bility was too great to be con -fined to workin' hours .

He worked with his handsas .a volunteer helping tobuild a Surrey Children'sHospital, commandeering me nand materials wherever hecould .

For years he worked wit hthe UBC area's cubs andscouts taking them campingon the Endowment Landsduring weekends and holidays .

He enjoyed working in hi sfire hall, next door to theEngineering building, just t oabsorb t h e campus atmo-sphere .

It was a four-year battle right down to the wire with Joh nWalton just beating out Mrs. Joan Sedhev for top honors i nmedicine . Iws

Walton received the Hambe rGold Medal for having the high-est average over the four-yea rcourse .

But Mrs . Sedhev, who had thehighest marks in the final year ,took away five other awards .

Her five awards were : the

Ciba Company Medical prize ,

Dr. A. M. Agnew Memorial

prize, the Horner prize for high-est standing in final year course ,the Mead Johnson of Canad aLimited prize and the Hamberscholarship in medicine .

Walton, married with onechild, has been doing cardio-vas-cular research for the past threesummers at UBC. During thewinter he found time to sit o nthe Acadia Camp Council .

In addition to the HamberGold Medal he also won the Dr .A. B . Schinbein scholarship fo rhighest marks in surgery .

Mrs . Sedhev, whose husbandalso graduates in medicine thi syear, doesn't restrict herselfsolely to medicine .

Scholar, s'ay's he's just a casualstudent .

"In my fourth year I don' tthink I worked much harderthan the average student," hesaid, "except that toward theend it was a bit of a grind t ofinish my graduating essay . "

Candidates for the prestigescholarship must excel in stu-dies, leadership, service to thecommunity and athletics .

*Hopefuls must submit to a

gruelling 45-minute interviewbefore six ex-Rhodes scholars .

Lieutenant Governor GeorgePeakes presided over t h ecommittee that interviewe dBrian .

"When -the committee was

satisfied with my academi cachievements they asked somegeneral questions about moun-tains I had climbed," saidBrian, son of Dean Nevill eScarfe of the faculty of educa-tion .

*"They wanted to know wh y

I changed from science to eco-nomics and a few questionsabout Cecil Rhodes that Icouldn't answer . "

He fulfilled the academicrequirements by maintaininga first class average .

His work with Varsity Out-door Club fulfilled the otherrequirements .

He described himself as apoor but enthusiastic skier .

"You feel as if you've bee naway from exams a month

after only a week on th eslopes," he said .

The scholarship will b eworth 750 pounds or abou t$2,250 and will be served atOxford .

"I'll have to pay my wayacross the Atlantic," he said .

But the money will kee phim in England for two years 'and possibly three .

Brian said his family andfriends were pleased that h ewon the scholarship . But VOCmembers gave him a roug htime .

THE UBYS .SEY

Page 7

bund e of triviaThis is the chronicle of a year : a chronicle

made up of the trivia of the year 1962-63 .

To us, these trivia are important becaus ethe moments were ours—they belong to th e

graduating class of 1963 . Such possession ofmoments makes even a collection of trivi a

worthy of being called a history . Let me show

you my collection :

The year got off to an unfortunate start .

UBC's cinderella rowers were defeated at th e

world championships in Switzerland and, hav-ing sustained this body blow to the ego, stu-dents returned to the campus to face, for th e

first time, a $5 fee to park in the far-out stu-dent lots . It was hitting below the belt, bu tBuster's was gone and perhaps it was worth it .

In addition, the Alma Mater Society's gre y

flannel admen had moved the university a ste p

closer to conformity by dropping the time-hon-ored name Bird Calls in favor of the colorles s

Student Telephone Directory. It was a kick i n

the teeth .Toward the end of the year, however, stu-

dent council—in a rare display of good sense

—ordered the admen to change it back .

As the era of rowing supremacy ended •—

temporarily—there came promises of a new er a

of academic excellence, made by Dr . John Mac-donald as he was sworn in as president .

*There was room for new beginnings at

UBC. The Ubyssey showed students that there

was a Little Rock on the university's doorstep ,

"Point Grey Doors Slam on Negro Students, "

it shouted in its biggest, blackest type .

The articles caused some stir—and discrim-

ination continued as before .

Students were shocked again when the pa -per revealed that most student suites in Poin t

Grey were substandard, cold and dirty . Espe-

cially surprised were those who lived in rooms

which were standard, warm and clean .

But this was something student bureaucrats

could understand ; they set up an inspection sea -

. vice .

-Then came Kaneung Watanchai . Hundreds

of students who had avoided the needle fo r

years were scratched in a mass vaccination cam -paign when doctors thought that the graduat ecommerce student from Bangkok had smallpox .

The campus—and the city—waited anx-iously for six days before word came from Ot-tawa that his rash was only a rare and non-con -

tagious skin disease .The sinking of C-lot was a prelude to Hur-

ricane Freida . She turned out campus light s

and did $5,000 damage .

But the really big blow came on Octobe r

17. It was black Wednesday . The Georgia

went dry. It was the end of another era ; and300 Friends of the Georgia took to the streetsto burn Liquor Control Board chairman Donal dMcGugan in effigy for desecrating tradition .

The real Col. McGugan lived to strik e

again. Students moved to other pubs but i twasn't the same. And the town's newsmen ,quick to spot a good thing, moved into the

Georgia .The following week, students had some -

thing new to think about : the hero of PT-109told his Russian playmate to get his darn rock-ets out of the Kennedy backyard—or else .

It was the "or else" that worried students— and more than 5,000 jammed the Main Mal lto hear five professors denounce war as a solu-tion to such problems. The crowd was a fewhundred smaller than the one that turned outthe year before to see Horner Tomlinson crownhimself King of the World .

Only this time, the jokes were a bit sicke rand the laughs a bit higher pitched ..*

A sign in Brock proclaimed : "ComingSoon: World War Three—A Cast of Billions— See, Hear, Participate ." But it didn't come .

This also happened before Christmas ex-ams: research chemist Neil Bartlett rewrot echemistry texts by producing a useless orang epowder from a reaction involving an inert ga s— and was later injured when his ungratefu lapparatus exploded ; Dr. Norman MacKenzi ewas named Great Trekker and received a stand-ing ovation from 3,000 students ; the first Home -coming parade in five years wound its waythrough city streets to mark the fortieth anni-versary of the first great trek ; students finallygot to vote in the Point Grey byelection andneurology professor Pat McGeer became UBC' sown MLA; Dr. Peter ("I don't believe in God" )Remnant_ shocked downtown sensibilities when

his biennial debunking of religion somehowattracted a Sun reporter; Prof. Avrum Strol ldebunked the Jesus of the Gospels and Th eUbyssey's Peter Rembrant debunked Sant aClaus .

Sir Ouvry's Own Regiment heralded thestart of the new year by showing up in jauntynew khaki uniforms .

And The Ubyssey crowed that it was thebest university newspaper in Canada . In a nunprecedented sweep, it won trophies for gen-eral excellence, editorial writing and news pho-tography in the annual Canadian Universit yPress competition .

*In the next few weeks, Big Fanny Storgof f

and her Sons visited the campus to explai ntheir problems and remained just as puzzlingas the French Canadians ; Victoria College wa sgiven a pat on the head by the Premier an dmade a university ; and the campaign for a cam -pus ambulance was renewed after two student slay bleeding for forty minutes in an overturncar on Marine Drive, waiting for an ambulanc efrom the city .

Also, the vote-in-a-lump Calathumps an dMike Sharzer's armbanded NaziCreds go tthumped in campus elections. Sharzer was a nunlikely Nazi anyway .

Then Dr. Macdonald dropped his highe reducation blockbuster. His report called fo reight new colleges in B .C. and an eventua loperating budget of $100 million .

The government made a few promises anda start on Simon Fraser University—but keptits hand firmly on its wallet .

In the next few days, as campus rebel sworked overtime in dark cellars planning ac-tion week, Mayor Beth Wood of New Westmin-ster denounced the teaching of Communism and

atheism at UBC and was mostly ignored ; thehockey team topped the football team by win-ning the Hamber Cup and the western cham-pionship (the basketball team also won but thefootballers tied with Alberta for best in thewest) ; and Premier Bennett was accused of stab-bing the university in the back with his budgetparing knife . He sliced off $1 .6 million woof skin.

In what was apparently a diversionary move ,the Reverend Phil Gaglardi challenged Dr .Remnant to a debate on the existence of God .The university community refused to be divert-ed — and the government went further, bring-ing in legislation to implement the Macdonal dReport .

At the same time, the Board of Governorsrejected requests that it reveal UBC's exac tfinancial plight . And the rebels continued t owork in the dark .

*Late in the term, it was discovered tha t

Sir Ouvry's shambulance was too mall tocarry a stretcher and couldn't get a licence .To forestall a gory fiasco, the Graduating Clas sof 1963 made its gift an ambulance which th eadministration characteristically refused toaccept ; the rowers ended the year happily bywinning in the Pan American Games at SaoPaulo .

The year was over . The usual activitiesof a year at UBC—registration, Homecoming ,the conferences, the dramatic and musical pro-ductions (Bye Bye Birdie was a smash hit), th eMardi Gras, blood drives, faculty activities an dso on—had taken place more or less on schedule .And a few things had happened to make th eyear unique .

'Gr-ads of '63 endon familiar note

For the graduating class of 1963 the sum of $2 .2 million i sa familiar figure—too familiar .

And $100 rings a bell, too .In 1959, UBC asked the gov-

ernment for a $2 .2 millionincrease in its operating budget .

The government gave only$650,000 ; the fees went up $100.

Again in 1963, UBC asked thegovernment for an extra $2 . 2million . The government paredagain and UBC got $1 million .

The graduates of 1963 wh oabsorbed the fee increase fouryears ago will be spared th e$100 fee hike which threaten snext year's freshmen .

But they can sympathize withthem .

Audacious Audain• a disarming chap .

Michael Audain, founder of UBC ' s Nuclear DisarmamentClub, charter member of the B.C. Civil Liberties Association ,and UBC ' s own freedom rider, is a man with a conscience .

He's also one of UBC's topsocial work students .

He won the B. C. Associatio nof Social Workers prize for th ebest all-round student in firstyear social work .

"Social workers have tradi-tionally been involved in radica lmovements. It involves a com-mitment to civil liberties," h e

1

said ."They have an obligation t o

speak out about social injustice ,whether on the local or inter -national scene . "

STATUS QU OHe said social work is becom -

°_ng more and more committe dto the status quo .

"It's hard to get away fromthe bureaucratic bias," he said ."I'd like to see less emphasis o nworking directly with theclients and more on trying t ocorrect the faults of society a sa whole," he said .

It's society which causesbreakdowns and it's societ ywhich must be cured . "

Audain hopes to get his mas-ter's degree in social work an dthen work for better race rela-tions and civil liberties .

In 1961 Audain was arrestedin Jackson, Mississippi for work-ing to end segregation in th esouthern U . S .

And it's their own fault .The 75 who are still look-
