Home Need& for JapaneJe Exchange Student

By PAT LOVELESS

One more home is needed to board a Japanese student next year . . . for free!

“The Stu,dents’ C o u n c i 1 is anxious to get foreign students on ,the campus to promote an interest in other countries and to broaden (the international scope of. students on this cam- pus,” Alf Pett,ersen s t a t e d . These are the reasons behind the Student Council’s endeavour to bring out two students from the Keio U n i v e r s i t y of Tokyo, Japan. TR,AVEL gND~ BOARD

Mr. J. Ogelsby has consented t o assume the bloarding needs of one of the students, a Mr. Tamai, and the council would appreciate a student coming up with the sdme proposition for the other visitor.

But a few problems besides the boarding of the students have to be solved yet. ’Firstly, transpor- tation has to be arranged for them. Mr. Blaney of Blaney’s travel service was approached, but declined any assistance unless his travel agency could be recognized as the “official” travel bureau of the college. This proposal , proved unsatis-

factory to the council and $he are checking elsewhere.

FEES Still another problem ha

arisen oyer the tuition fees. DI Hickman and the administratio: were approached by the Student! Council and asked if they woul see fit to waive the fees for th two students, in order to assis the college in bringing their firs foreign students to ourQ campu! Although it was emphasized tha this was not to be a qontinuin thing, the administration turne the idea down on the ground that they did not want to set I precedent. However, Dr. Hick man did say that they would bl glad to assist the Alma Mate Society in looking into othe ways of raising (the amount fo the fees, and to discuss practica possibilities with thsem.

SOLUTION PROPOSED One solution that has bee]

proposed so far is, the raising o the Alma Mater Fees for th following year, with part ,of th increased revenue going toward the expenses involved in thi new venture.

Solution for Douks

SACKVILLE (CUP) - Mount Allison’s Model UN General Assembly has come up with a solution to the Doukhobor problem.

The solution came during the discussion on the , China-India border war. Cana’da proposed the area be cleared of people presently ‘there and re-populated with ‘‘a people so repugnant that no country would wish to lay claim to them.”

The delegate then offered the Sons of Freedom Doukhobors.

B.C. Premier W. A. C. Bennett could not be reached for cornl- ment.

NEW PUB COMING

A new %ampus periodi- cal” is to appear shortly after Christmas. , It is be- lieved that it will replace the Stylus and Centurian.

Council Supports Advertising Petition

By 4ILL CALDWELL

Controversy has arisen at Victoria College over the :arly Christmas advertising :ampaips of some city mer- :hank ZOUNCIL DIFFERS

A petition, supporting the Jiews of Mrs. MacMinn and Mrs. Mrs. Collins, was circulated for a short time by Terry Clark and Sruce Chambers. Two hundred and eighty-one people signed in favour of seeing certain Victoria stores restrict Christm.as decora- ;ions until December 1, and play- Ing of, carols until Decemb,er 15.

However, two points of con- tention were raised with the 3tudents’ Council. First, does the p e t i t i o n represent the majority views, and second, is it the council’s duty to act on behalf of the student body regarding matters external t o the campus? When interviewed €or The Martlet, Terry Clark stated, “The council and myself had different views on both poinbs of contention.” LETTER SENT

Nevertheless, a letter was sent to ‘bh,ese women by Brian Wilson on behalf of the AMs stating in effect that it appeared there were a majority of students behind the issue. In voicing the council’s views, Don Shea stated that thae council “didn’t feel it cou1,d take a definitg stand” be- cause only 281 signed the peti- tion, and it was a n off-campus matter.

CPS) -Faculty members at the University of Mississippi have reported that James Meredith is fa i l i n g four courses and university offi- cials a r e reportedly con- cerned that if he fails out ol the school, they will bc charged ,with failing him t c get rid OP him.

Meredith himself admitted t c reporter he is having academic problems. HAS A RIGHT - -

Meredith quashed rumors that he was ,withdrawing from the school when be took a trip to Memphis, stating, “The right t o Pail ils ‘as important as the right to succeed.”

Why is M t e r e d i t h having trouble? Observers here say h e has no privacy at the school, is guarlded day and night, spends hours each day attending t o matters other than school work 2onnected with the unusual m:an- ner in which he enrolled at “Ole Miss’’ and his studies, and sleep, are constantly interrupted by the sounds of firecrackers and other disturbances. “NIGGER &‘OVERS”

A few days ago, Meredith was joined at dinner by several white graduate students. Later that night the rooms of the white students were ransacked anid the words “nigger-lover” scrawled on the walls.

Meredith has also spent zt good deal of time reading some of the tons of letters he has received from well-wishers.

Meredith is followed day and night by a press gallery the sizc of which the world has seldorr: seen. Many papers and new2 agencies continue to keep at leasi one man in Oxford at all times ,and since their job is to cove] Meredith, they are with hin constantly.

The 29-yeas-old Negro has nc friends at Ole Miss. Very feu dare even to speak to him. Thc student government at the schoo has c a l l e d “unwise” thosf students who have spoken tc Meredith.

*Incorporation Issue Coming Up in January

By TERRY MATTE

A student committee last week outlilaed its course Of tction towards incorporation Lznder the B.C. Societies Act. 3USY COMMITTEE

The committe ’is composed of rim Taylor, Treasurer of the Students’ Council, Nels Grane- vall, President of the Pre-Law Xub, and Bryan Ralph, Director If the Student Union Building.

Before the AMS is incorporated ;he by-laws must be rewritten .n legal language. Their new Form will satisfy 6he regulations If the Societies Act as well as .essen present ambiguities. Un- ler the act the by-laws will be ?art of the constitution. LITTZE OPPOSITION

The revised constitution will De published in The Martlet kfter Christmas and the incor- poration proposal will be put to referendum, “probably at the end of January.”

Jim Taylor told The Martlet that the Students’ Council is

of the Alma Mater Society

generally in favour of incorpora- tion an.d expects little opposition to the move. EFFECTS

If the AMs is incorporated it is believed:

0 Greater weight will be given to the constitution and itis by- laws. A serious dispute of a council action may be referred to the Provincial Government. ,

0 The AMS as a whole will be responsible for contracts signed by members of the Students’ Council. The AMs as a legal entity will be able to sue or bte sued, to hold property, etc.

@ All students will be protected by lthe regulations of the B.C. Societies Act as well as the AMS constitution. The S t u d e n t s ’ Council may be limited by a more narrow interpretation of the constitution.

Social Credit Club. AMs THREATENED

Vicki Drader, D i r e c t o r of Clubs, said she put the consti- tution k e f o r e t h e Council because of three aims which, if included, she felt could be used to override the AMS constitution. She stressed that the Council was not trying to restrict the club’s ,freedom, but wishe,d to ensure the protection of its own constitution. S.C. PURPOSE AND OBJECTIVES

The aims ‘ in question were included in Section I1 of the con- stitution, “Purpose and Objec- tives”, and are as follows:

“To expose and oppose any attempts to weaken the demo- xatic insti,tutions of the people ~y means of increased centrali- zation of power.”

“To help to liberate the coun- t r y from the’ present financial system and its enslavement of a 2onstitutionally free people.”

“To ensure responsible and effective democratic s t u d e n t government in Victoria College, 30 that the students will gain the results they desire from the

m a , n a g e m e n t of their own affairs.” TO DELETE FIRST TWO

Mr. Rolli Cacchioni, president of the Social Credit Club, said that it was willing to delete the first two items, as they over- lapped party policy and could be included ,as resolutions, rather. than as a legal part of the constitution.

He said, however, that the third was an essential part of the Constitution and that the Students’ Council “is denying the clubs the democratic right for which we are organized.” Poli- tical clubs on campus, he added, are interested in the future of the country and “transgress stedent affairs.”, DEFENDER OF CIVIL RIGHTS

Mr. ‘Cacchioni felt that the ultimate goals of the club as “a strong defiender of civil rights” on the college, provincial and national levels transcended its obligation to the Students’ Coun- cil, and did not think its auth- ority would be jeopardized by the club’s constitution.

A committee, formed by Diane Beeler and Mike Mutchison, pre- pared a report on scholarships awarded by the Provincial Gov- ernment to e s t a b l i s h t h e credulity of these claims.

The first class scholarship, which by the way is the only scholarship candidates write in direct competition with each other, regardless of year, require an average of 80 per cent or higher. Thme committee feels that it is easier for the secondary school can,didate to reach the minimum percentage. This is because of difference in presen- tation of subject matter and system of examination.

However, it is their opinion that the system does not dis- criminate against the university

Social Credit Club Constitution Takes Battering

By JUDITH BAINES

The Students’ Council has not accepted certain portions of the constitution of the newly-formed Victoria College

By JILL CALDWELL

Recent investigation of claims that Secondary school students, writing for university entrance, have an unfair advantage over university students ip the annual compe- tition for government scholarships has proved erroneous.

candidate. On the contrary, it enhances tihe value4f the award, and to lower the percentage would lower the standard.

Second class scholarships re- quiring zt 70 - 80 per cent aver- age are limited to the top 2000 candidates in t h i s bracket. powever, the D,epartment of E ‘d u c a t i o n distributes these scholarships approximately pro- portionate to the numbers of students enrolled in ‘any par- ticular group or faculty. Thus ,

the problem of inter-year com- petition for second class scholar- ships is eliminated.

The committee believes the Provincial Government is to b,e commended for its system of awarding scholarships, main-. tained since 1959.

Before further action can be taken on the institution of a student court, the members of the A.M.S. must decide whether they want to assume the responsibility of student discipline and give a student organization the appropriate powers or whether they would rather leave all matters of discipline in the hands of the College Administration.

The Administration has agreed that a student organi- zation (i.e. Students’ Council) should handle all matters of student discipline, at least in the first instance.

If the members of the A.M.S. see fit to assume this responsibility, then it must be decided whether: (a) The Students’ Council shall be the disciplinary body,

or I

(b) A student court shall be set up to handle matters of student discipline.

If the Students’ Council is to be the disciplinary body, it must be decided whether: (a) The Council will follow the procedure outlined in

(b) New legislation will be enacted. If the members of the A.M.S. decide that matters of

student discipline should be placed, in the hands of a student court, immediate action must be taken to set up such a court and the appropriate legislation enacted.

Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Nuclear Wipeout Kits. And then I ; Claus. To be absolutely frank, there are zillionls of Santa Clauses propelled into the world every November, sprouting all over the landscape like som,e late-blooming rose. In every department store you find at least one-toyland, second floor, take ,the escalator on your left, please - assuring hundreds of eager youngsters that yes they too can have the moon this Christmas.

There he ‘sits, this foremost of all sugar-daddies, smiling be- nignly when he isn’t picking taffee out of his beard, stuffed front and back, and garbed in the latest synthetic waterproof fabric, fully stain and crease- resistant only $2.98 a yard, madam. Lo and behold the symbol of cheer, jollity (ho, ho, ho) and planned obsolescence, the spirit of Christmas present. To the kiddies, ‘that is; an older generation has discovere’d that eight-year-old rye is much more satisfactory.

Behind him stands, the store manager, rubbing his hands,

- thinking of the next report to Head Office: biggest sales yet! thousands of toy-soldiers, hun- dreds of tommy-guns (almost for real; spouts plastic bullees con- taining a quick-acting tran- quilizer at f o r t y rounds a second), any number of bed- wetting dolls that cry “oooh” when pinched in the right places, not to mention Little Wonder

I : I :

there is the game for the sea- son : Blast !

Blast! pits you, representing the West, against an opponent representing t4e dirty Commies. You have ten missiles and ten anti-missile missiles; he gets eight of each. The game is played on .a large map; the object is to strike as many enemy cities as you can and to prevent strikes on your own. ,The game is scored on people anni- hilated (count two apiece) and merely sterilized (count one). Have you tried your band at this patriotic game?

Elsewhere Santa pushes every imaginable product. He en- dorses wore things than all foot- ball and hockey stars combined, since he is kind enough’ to sup- ply his name and picture free of charge. Santa is master of hard-sell and soft-sell, and millions succumb to his pitch.

Here and there a few mis- guided fanatics a’dvise us to keep Chrilst in Christmas, but they might as well save their voices. Christ isn’t nearly as good at selling ,things; the voice of Santa is the voice of production and consumption, and it can out- scream anything else. Moreover, he is very obliging: on December 26 he disappears without a trace, leaving us to look a t unpaid bills. But don’t be fooled; he’ll be resurrected next year, this fat fraud foisted upon itself by a gullible civilization.

111 8 LETTERS TO THE EDITOR 111 Horne BLower

Dear Sir: It is the humble opinion of the

undersigned that it is ab,out time that something was said regar’d- ing a certain b’espectacled “intel- lect” who passed the 19f1-62 session studying in Germany.

Some students are beginning to wonder why the poor fellow is obsessed with the problem of drinking. It , seems that he travelled to Germany to study, but what did he study? Maybe he was on a pub investigation. However, I feel that his primary purpose in travelling to “the home of the stein” was to gather material for his thesis which will apparently be entitled: Alcoholic Determinism-a Hisltory o’f Vic- toria Co’llege.

It is only reasonable to expect that ‘this fellow who is appar- ently the leading intellectual of the campus should have a “mes- sage” of a much higher plane for the rest of us (shall we say: the masses?), who nee,d to be prodded intellectually.

One would hope that our intel- lects could channel their mental powers in a more profitable direction. As one of my dear old hi,gh school teachers would so eloquently assert: “I’m fed to the teeth”, with these harangues that seem to dwell on nothing but booze and “the good old L.C.B.”

“Fed to the Teeth,” W. G. HAMILTON,

(4th Yr. Arts) - ’ Mal Answers

Last week’s editorial asks why I did not appeal.

I thought that there had been enough “$timing up” and another would be pointless.

I was assured by m.embers of the Student Council that the penalty would be lifted/and, as far ‘as that goes, I was gui1,ty of throwing the ladyfinger that went p-h-h-t. I have never pleaded innocence. It may have been my right ‘to appeal, but certainly not my place.

My e t e r n a 1 gratitude and thanks go to the just plain great people who have taken it upon themselves to start a petition.

mhey tell me that they are not out to change anybtody’s opinion, but simply to try and find any support for the presumed rela- tive unfairness of the penalty.

Personally I miss Pre-Med Club and thfe right to speak a t Speak-Easy and that’s .all.

MAL POTTS.

Full House Dear Sir:

So the administration won’t let us play cards in the caf, eh? This creates an interesting paradox: it’s “illegal” to sit in the caf all day an,d play cards, but legal to sit all day and smoke, talk, or read. The ,administra- tion has not yet got around to installing parking meters.

And if we want some intel- lectual challenge and sporting life, we don’t need cards. C0m.e one, come all. B r i n g your Monopoly, Snakes and Ladders,

Ouiji boar&, Scrabble, etc., and let’s stage a sit-in!

Posters Pestered Dear Sir:

In reply to Miss Aust’s letter re: the Beast: as a member. of the Poster Committee, I would like to defend Mr. Priestley’s action in tearing down the poster. He, as ,another member of this committee, has every right to tear down “illegal” posters. He ils not ‘‘ . . . going his own way, against council wishes.” However, Miss Aust has a point in that the secretary of the Stud,ents’ Council had okayed this poster (as is required for all posters). The committee as a whole is at- fault here, not Mr. Priestley, for it neglecte’d to inform Mrs. Sengara of the ruling that there is to be no out- side advertising on campus. Nonetheless, it has been a ruling on (this campos for many years and in past years was deemed unnecessary to publicize the fact.

VICKI DRADER.

Intercourse Difficult Dear Sir:

I much appreciate Mr. Cac- chioni’s sustained, conscientious so1icitu.de ’ for G o r d o n Head students. A while ago, our hero wagged his hoary locks at students who complained in the midst of army huts and mud. And now this third-rate Hosea muttsers about the “apathy” of second year Ed. students who don’t show up for meetings at Lansdowne. As one of the group under fire, and as one who has wanted to go’ to these campus functions, I view Mr. Cacchioni’s letter with bitter ‘eye. All of my classes are at G.H. Classes here occur on the hour. If Mr. Cac- chioni would ,take the trouble to see things from the viewpoint of the swamp-dwellers, he wou1,d realize that most meetings take place on the half-hour (usually at 12:30), on a campus that lies nearly two mile,s away. I realize that club presidents, etc., can- not always think of the Ed. students when timing their meetings. But Mr. Cacchioni’s “challenge” looks bug-like when alongside the challenge of get- ting to Lansdowne, attending a meeting, and returning for a class-all in half an hour.

Smirking Man Dear Sir:

I’m damn sick of hearing some poor little inconvenienced dar- ling bitch about the Clearihue. What the hell is she waiting f o r --‘a “Walter Raleigh” t o spread a cloak of apology in every ,damn puddle that gets in her way?

Some people, before they c0m.e up here to sit on their arse for four years, should go out and work; get a job slinging plywood at the mill or slap around in a sewer for a while then, come to college with a little dirt under their nails and some sense in their pocket.

YOU’RE ALL WET By LARRY DEVLIN

Venturing out to see one of our separated brethren at the Gordon Head MaTshes, I received for the first time the full impact of incredible confusion which that !delightful piece of country- side suggests. (Actually I re- ceived the full impact of four potholes at the same time). The whole area looks like no-man’s land at Ypres after a heavy attack. While the horny handed proletariat Id i s e m b o w e 1 the earth, installing sewer pipes large enough to contain the emu- ence of New York, th,e training of philosopher kings sublimely continues. (On second thought, perhaps what I ‘took for sewer pipes were really draies).

Entering the Clearihue build- ing, I thought how appropriate it was-for Mexico City. Obvi- ously the architect was an Oscar

Niemeyer fan, Equally obvious was th,e fact that he didn’t believe in Frank Lloyd Wright’s famous principle that a building should be oriented to its site. Had he done so, he would have designed the Clearihue block on stilts. Even in 322 B.C., the early Brythons knew that i f . you were stupid enough to pick a lake as a building site, you raised your home out of the water.

Whoever designed our new block at Gordon Head must have had a, grudge ,against college students. The new V shaped end windows in the Clearibue are certainly easy to see ,through, but they ‘do have the disturbing habit of funnelling all the water right into the b,uilding. What a waste of water! Any practical designer would have connected a drinking fountain to the junction

There’s too many mice around ’ these days. People scuttle from. one hole to the next and don’t look around. They go to school- graduate. Go to college-gradu- ate. Get a job; scuttle out of their protective holes, grab a. mate and procreate and die, still stupid.

Hell (a word inj,ected to add color and warmth and not in- tended to shock) darling;’ why don’t you borrow the old-man’s hip-waders or go bare foot and bring a bar of soap? Merry Christmas, and a drunken, de- bauched new year to all those of age.

DOUG JOLLIFF.

F,uct or Fiction? Dear Sir:

We were amazed to read a report on medicare in your Nov. 20 issue attributing c e r t a i n statements t o Dr. Peter Banks which have no resemblance to Pact.

First, Dr. Banks is reported as s a y i n g of the Saskatchewan I

Medicare Plan, “Tpe doctors are paid a salary by the govern- ment.” This statement is com- pletely false. Section 27a of the Saskatchewan Medical Care In- surance Act reads as follows:

27a (1) It is not the intention or purpose of this Act to estab- lish a plan of medical care insur- ance for the residents of Saskat- chewan under which the general basis for remunerating physi- cians for insured services pro- vided to beneficiaries would be exclusively or largely a fixed sum \

of money calculated on a yearly or other periodic basis.

(2) Nothing in subsection (1) interfews with or prevents a physician from exercising a free choice as to the method by which he is to be remunerated for insured services provided to beneficiaries. 1962 (2nd Sess.) c.1, s.8.

In addition to this, regulations H1032,1033 and 110rl, made under the Act, provide specifically for physicians to be paid on .a fee for service basis at exactly $he same amounts they have been receiv- ing from private plans like MSA.

Secondly, Dr. Banks is quoted as saying that in Saskatchewan, “A patient is only allowed a limited amount of tim,e to con- valesce in the hospital after which time he is released even if it is against the doctor’s better judgment.”

What utter nonsenEe. Anyone with an elementary knowledge of the subject knows that Hospital Insurance is completely separate from the Medicare Plan and it has been in existence for years as in most provinces including B.C. An elementary knowledge of Hospital Insurance also bells one Ithat it covers only “acute” care, not c o n v a l e s c e n t or chronic care, and that the situa- tion is , no different in Saskat- chewan than it is in any other province.

hard. After all, the contractors have had only two years to finish ‘the job, and Canada’s 500,000 unemployed are concret,e proof that there is a shortage of skilled labourers. Moreover, as everyone knows, the contractors are so busy counting their profits they just haven’t time to put up a decent building.

It is m,y firm belief that the students of 1962-63 should raise ’

sufficient funds to buy 734 pounds of ivy seed. Assuming that the Clearihue will stand until spring, tfie seed should be tenderly planted around its walls so that we may truly say, “I helped preserve this building for future generations.”

Perhaps I am being a bit too .

MINOR SPORNTS’ The college year is half over

and there are still three minor sports with no budget: women’s basketball, 10-pin bowling and squash. There is lack of interest in the first and an obvious lack of organization in the second. Squash, however, boasts approxi- mately 15 enthusiastic and very good players. The players are paying their own dues %to the Victoria Squash Club and are supplying their own rackets. If the Pthletic Council can give $730 to volleyball surely they can give some financial aid to this very enthusiastic group.

The college teams, Vandals ,and Soths, battled to a 1-1 ,tie in a rather sluggish, muddy league ;ame on Sunday. lDespite the conditions, the

game was quite fast, whether swimming or running, with both :earns trying to break th,e dead- .ock. The Goths scored the first goal midway through the first nalf when the ball whipped past Barry Bowen off B,rian Deaton’s stick.

Vikings now take a rest for exams and Christmas holidays returning to the ice Jan. 4 when they @lay Pontiacs.

College h o c k e y fans have earned a big thanks from the Vikings for their undying sup- port. Vikings have yet to win this year, but whatever the score, when Vikings got a goal the shout that went up was deafening and this really gave each member of the team a boost.

It makes them ~ realize that they have five or six hundred fans’ behind them all the way. What more could a team ask for?

Water and waste, rushing through these pipes, is 'hardly condusive to study let alone indicative of soun'd architectural design.

Are the students of Victoria to be saddled with a lemon of thi,s nature. We hope not bat having no say in the development of the college we fear the worst.; Or would it be possible for members of the faculty or development board, snug and secure in their jobs, to speak out and take action against this outrage.

Plaster, c r u m b l i n g f r o m moisture, and falling on the floor, puddles on the stairway landing, water leaking through the walls between ,the windows and their frames; these were the things that greeted us as we entered the new $500,000 Cleari- hue bui1,ding. Venturing further on our personal inspection we found cracks. There are hun- dreds throughout the building, one, outside the main office reached from the ceiling to the floor and in the b a s e m e n t library there are cracks one-half a n inch wide around almost every window. In the eastern stairway we found one crack filled with a piece of plywood

carefully painted to blend with the plaster walls. RQUGH FINISHI

The whole finish job in the building is rough and ama- teurish. Covers for electrical outlets and switches do not hi'de the large holes behind them., many rocks are falling out of the rock walls, the floors are stained, especially in the new washrooms, and air vents are poorly installed. LIBRARY, REAL SHOCK

These were just some of the defects we noticed on ouli way to the real shock, the basement library. In this room tlhe floor ti1e.s are loose, cracked, and broken exposing wide cracks,
