'AD HOC GROUP SHOULD EXAMINE SECRECY 'By MIKE FINLA Y
A senator Wednesday night advocated the forma-tion of an ad hoc committee to discuss the secrec yissue.
Economics professor Dr . Robert Clark told45 senators and an equal number of students at ajoint meeting at International House the senateshould not have an open gallery but the mattershould not be closgd .
"I hope student council will present a brief tosenate on the subject of the public gallery and Ihope this brief will be considered by an ad ho ccommittee," he said.
(Such a brief was prepared by Alma Mater Soci-ety president Shaun Sullivan earlier this week andwill be presented to the senate Feb . 14 .)
Clark said an open gallery would inhibit speakerswould invite the campus press to advocate cause sand would force the senate to move more into com-mittees not open to the public .
"It has been suggested by some intrepid spirit sthat such a bold gesture as a sit-in would change
the opinions of some senators hitherto unmoved b ystudent demands," he said .
Clark said he thought such a move would turnsenate opinion against the students .
Following Clark, arts president Stan Persky sup-plemented his defence of open senate with his song ,The Nonsense World Is Quite Alright, sung b yHarley Rothstein, arts 4, as a parody of senat emeetings .
Persky said the question was not senate secrec ybut degrees of openness .
"I see no reason why open conversation need no tbe honest or need be rhetorical," he said . "And Ido not think The Ubyssey is the dangerous anima lmost senators fear it is . "
AMS treasurer Dave Hoye touched on the issueof open senate while giving a resume of AMS ac-complishments this year .
After speaking of symposia and the work doneon the student union building, Hoye said he thoughtstudents and faculty should know how decisions o ncampus affect them .
"The motto of this university is Tuum Est," he
said . "The opening of senate will be a first step inanswering the challenge of Tuum Est . "
Law professor C. B. Bourne emphasized senatewas not a political institution, but an advisory an dlegislative body .
He said opening senate would tend to revers ethe progress already made in ending secrecy byforcing more use of committees .
"Senate was right to reject the open gallery an dI see no reason to change my mind," he said .
After the speakers finished, the meeting brok edown into informal discussions .
Student senator Ray Larsen said he was embar-rassed by the small turnout of students and impres-sed by the number of senators at the meeting .
Senator Gabor Mate said he was pretty sur esenate would be open next term .
Acting UBC president Walter Gage said at themeeting the dialogue between senators and studentswas a good thing .
"I think there's more sympathy now and thi swill affect the decision of senate, " he said .

Money crisis
might limitappointments
By PAUL KNOX
New appointments in UBC's largest faculties may b e
severely limited as a result of a funds crisis .The faculties of arts, science, and education are not making
appointments until the provincial budget comes down Feb . 9 .
It was earlier understood that no new appointments wouldbe made in the faculty of arts for next year .
Dean of arts Dennis Healy said the only positions bein gfilled in his faculty are those created by vacan-cies in the present university budget .
"I have asked the board of governors forfour new professorships, 12 associate profes-sors and 23 assistant professors," Healy said .
"But I've no idea when we'll know if wecan go ahead and hire them . "
Dean of education Neville Scarfe saidThursday he had authorized no new appoint-ments for next year.
Science dean Vladimir Okulitch said hisfaculty had not made any new appointments .
HEALY"We've been advised to be cautious," Okulitch said .Acting president Walter Gage confirmed Thursday that he
had cautioned deans about hiring new faculty ."We don't know how much money we'll be getting," Gage
said. "We can't say how many people we can hire . This is thecase every year . "
UBC registrar Reg Parnall said all timetables for nextyear must be submitted to him by today .
Some faculties reported difficulty in drawing up timetableswithout knowing how many staff they will have .
Scarfe said his faculty was in particular difficulty ."We've made two timetables — one with our present staff ,
and one with the staff we hope to hire," he said .In previous years, deans have been able to estimate the
number of new appointments they will be able to make .Several department heads told The Ubyssey that they
usually finish hiring new staff in January ."We like to start around Christmas," said French depart-
ment head Dr . Larry Bongie ."March is definitely too late to start hiring for next year . "Dr . D . T. Kenny, head of psychology, said the Feb. 9 date
was late, although not impossible."We should know by the end of next November how many
people we can hire ." he said .

Council advocate spot legalization
LONDON (CUP) — The student counci lat the University of Western Ontario hasadvocated the legalization of marijuana .
Two months ago, Mark Kirk, 18, afreshman student, was expelled after hewas convicted in court for marijuana pos-session .
The council a week ago accepted recom-mendations of a special committee on mari-juana .
Under the recommendations, the councilwill lobby for the reclassification of mari-juana from the narcotic control act to thefederal food and drug act .
They will also recommend the nationaldepartment of health and welfare study theproperties and effects of marijuana to de-termine whether the drug is able to mee tthe food and drug requirements, and if not ,how much research would be require dbefore the drug could be considered safe .
The students concentrated their attacks ontwo bridges leading to the U .S . naval base . Theyhad been fortified with barbed wire. Hundredsof police protected by anti-stone nets, metal
shields and plastic face guards met the student s
at the bridges .The police used tear gas and tear liquid
which were effective in breaking up the demon-stration .
The police's violent counter-actions enrage dsome citizens . A citizen donated 10,000 ye n($30) to one group for medical treatment an dbail .
The donations reached $2,800 according toone Zengakuren leader .
He said the citizens became sympathetic tothe Zengakuren during the demonstrations .
"We are trying to break the sanctuary of th eAmerican base," he said .
American teaching in Torontoreclassified to 1-A by board
TORONTO (CUP) — A University of Torontoprofessor has been reclassified 1-A by his draf tboard because he is teaching in Canada .
Assistant professor Barry Wellman, 25, asociology professor from the Bronx, New York ,claims his draft board has not given him theusual occupational deferment accorded universityprofessors.
He said when he called his draft board inNew York Friday he was told if he were teach-ing in the U.S. he'd get a deferment but thefact that he was in Canada was grounds forreclassification.
Wellman plans to return to appeal the re -classification on medical grounds . He and hi swife came to Toronto last July from Harvard ,where as a grad student he was classified 2-S .

Civic group hits GreeksA prestigious civic group has added
its voice to protests against this year'sMardi Gras.
In a letter to board of governorschairman Nathan Nemetz, the Van-couver Civic Unity Association ex-pressed dismay and astonishment atthe event's Minstrel Show theme .
The association lists as its patronLt . - Gov . George Pearkes. Honorarychairmen are former UBC presidentsJohn Macdonald and Norman Mac-Kenzie . Directors include B .C. Libera lleader Ray Perrault .
"It represents an incredible lack ofsensitivity to the feelings of the par-ticipants' neighbors and fellow citi-zens," the letter said .
"Are we to infer from Mardi Grasplans that fraternities and sororitieshave abandoned discriminatory prac-tices, and only resort to them whenthey are having 'fun'?
"There are many things Vancou-ver's Negro community needs. Gra-tuitous insult are not among them .
"We hope students at UBC willgive closer thought to the possibl esocial implication of their actions . "
Nemetz said Thursday he woulddiscuss the letter with acting presi-dent Walter Gage before replying.
"I don't know the facts of the MardiGras affair," he said .
This year's Mardi Gras included apep meet which featured several skitsdepicting Ku Klux Klansmen beatin gNegroes and Negroes beating whitemen .
The three-day Mardi Gras drew fir efrom groups including the B .C. Associ -ation for the Advancement of Colore dPeople, the Student Non-Violent Co -ordinating committee, Seattle-Belling-ham chapter ; and UBC's Internationa lHouse executive .
After the pep meet, the Alma MaterSociety executive condemned thepoor taste shown by certain fraterni-ties in the skits and urged UBC stu-dents not to attend Mardi Gras func-tions .
Meanwhile, the Mardi Gras commit-tee is missing a $300 wig and twoflapper costumes after Saturdaynight's dance .
Phil Bernard, producer of the Mard iGras floorshow, appealed Wednesdayto the pilferer of the costumes t oreturn them.
"They will have to be paid for outof the charity money," Bernard said ."I think whoever took them musthave been a little high."
Nine nominations have been filedfor five slots on the Alma MaterSociety's first election slate.
Only arts president Stan Perskyhad been nominated for AMS presi-dent late Wednesday, but another can-didate was expected to be nominate dtoday .
Nominations close today at noon.Charles Hutton, sc . 2, Ruth Dwor-
kin, sc. 3, and Barry Milasky, comm .2 are nominated for internal affairsofficer .
Seconder's statements for candi-dates for president, external affairsofficer, and internal affairs officerwill appear in Friday's Ubyssey.These must be no longer than 75words and must be submitted no late rthan 1 p .m. today.
Statements by candidates for presi-dent (350 words), external and in-fernal affairs officers (100 words) ,secretary (100 words) and senator (75words) will be published next Tues-day. These must be submitted to TheUbyssey by 1 p .m. Monday .
Tobin Robbins, arts 3, is the solecontender for external affairs officer .Both are new offices .
Sally Coleman, arts 2, and HeatherSoles, arts 2, are nominated for secre-tary .

Eighty teaching assistants at SimonFraser University have launched a nassociation to improve their positionon the campus .
Called the Simon Fraser Non-faculty Teachers' Association, t h egroup seeks to improve salaries andworking conditions through collec-tive bargaining.
President Clay Perry said Wednes-day the organization was formed be-cause the present system of dealin gwith TA's was inadequate .
"There was a 'widespread feelingof discontent and frustration," h esaid . "We wanted to standardiz eworking hours and pay scales in thedifferent departments . "
Perry said the organization is nowtrying to gain more members fromthe 250 TA's at SFU .

UBC Spanish teaching assist -ant Morley Adelman has beensentenced to six months in jai lfor possession of marijuana .
The B.C. court of appeal re-versed a suspended sentenc egiven Adelman earlier by amagistrate.
Adelman admitted smokin gmarijuana for two years but saidhe will not smoke it again inCanada .
"But I don't know whetherI want to be a part of Canada, "he said in the earlier trial .
"My guilt lies in the , fact thatI knew the law was wrong an ddisobeyed it, but did nothingto change it . "

MisjudgeThe sentencing by an appeal court of a UBC teach-
ing assistant to six months in jail for the inoffensive of-fense of smoking marijuana is merely an instance of a ninsane law overzealously applied by backward judges.
It is a strange commentary on the state of Cana-dian law when the morality of judges compares badl ywith the morality of the judged .
For, in smoking marijuana, the teaching assistan tcommitted no crime, either against another citizen,against society, or against himself .
Rather, it is the appeal court judges who have of -fended, by inflicting an undeserved and damagin gpunishment.
The suspended sentence originally awarded th eteaching assistant by the lower court magistrate was anenlightened way to deal with an outdated law . It is t obe hoped that magistrates will not abandon the practic eof awarding suspended sentences under pressure of appealcourt reversals of such decisions . Magistrates need no tbecome a rubber stamp for wrongheaded decisions o fhigher courts .
It is also to be hoped that the change in the teachin gassistant's sentence will not be followed by a chang ein his status at IJBC. Such an action by the universitywould be vicious malevolence in its purest form.
Enemy?"The enemy force dug in at the compound as six
companies of Korean marines moved toward the town,"reads the story out of Vietnam in one downtown paper .
"How important is the Ho Chi Minh traffic to theenemy?" ponders a news analyst in another.
"The word "enemy" in this context, it is apparent ,refers to the Viet Cong and the North Vietnamese . AsCanadian readers of Canadian papers, this somehowdoesn't strike us as quite right .
We realize Canada is a war profiteer. But we hadbelieved it was still a non-combatant .
The frouble stems from the unfortunate fact thatmost international news in Canadian papers comes fromAmerican news services. The above quoted passages areno exceptions .
It is an abdication of responsibility by this country' spress to rely on the news services of one of the majorcombatants in the Vietnam war for its day-to-day cov-erage of that war. American reporting of an Americanwar would be su'pect even were the U .S. news servicesmanaged and staffed by men saintly in their devotion t otruth. There is little evidence that the AP and UPI of-fices in Saigon abound in such men .
Apparently Canadian papers and the Canadian Pressnews cooperative feel they cannot afford to send Cana-dian reporters to Vietnam to get a non-combatant's viewof the war. If this is the case, we suggest they turn toBritish sources or to translations of the European andJapanese Press.
And when they must use American wire copy, wesuggest they employ a more neutral blue pencil . Wedo not need to be told who our enemies are .

'Don't let Ma Murraygive you a bad time'
By MANUEL NEIRA
Neira, a graduate chemi-cal engineer, is studying atUBC for a master's degreein business administration .He is a past president of th eAssociated Students' Society ,Santander Uth-v-erity, Col-
ombia .
This is an open letter to theeditor of the Commerce Cava-lier :
Prof . Robert Hutchins, pres-ident of the Center for Demo-cratic Institutions and Ex-Chancellor of the Universityof Chicago, once described hisversion of a perfect university .As Hutchins saw it, the high-est purpose of the universitywould be to aid the intellectual ,aesthetic and spiritual growth.The campus would be a cen-ter of independent thought an dcriticism, and neither couldnor should be popular withthe public . It was to seek wis-dom through a conversationaimed at truth .
The North American univer-sity has ignored this powerfu lvision. Hutchins gives on ereason which, in part, accountsfor this fact : "I discern thelove of money at the botto mof the disintegration of theAmerican university . "
Approaching the problemfrom a different angle, Dr .Clark Kerr, former presiden tof the University of California ,wrote : "The university isintegrated into society an dmust adapt sufficently to itsculture if it is to survive. "
THE MULTIVERSITYAccording to Kerr, the stan-
dard model for the universityis not the small, unified, auto-nomous community becaus esmall intellectual communitiesrun against the logic of thetimes. Dr. Kerr's answer isthe multiversity, which pro-vides something for nearlyeverybody for farmers, for theminor and newer professions ,and for 'the general citizenwho wants to satisfy his curio-sity . Thus, the function of the
modern university is the cur-
rent welfare of the masses .
These two conceptions o fwhat a university should be
have been built on commongrounds. Both scholars con-
sider academic freedom andfreedom of speech as the very
breath of the university. In-deed their administrations werecharacterized by an uncom-promising defense of theseprinciples 'Which are a perfectexpression of intellectual lifein a democracy. (Dr . Kerr wa sfired as president of Universityof California one year ag oand Dr. Hutchins resigned togo to Santa Barbara in Cali-fornia) .
These considerations came tomind when I saw in the Com-merce Cavalier, (Vol . IV, No .2), your reasoning to persuadecommerce students in a cam-paign to change the orientationof The Ubyssey. I do not wantto comment on your implica-tion that The Ubyssey doe snot properly reflect studentopinion. You can say or writeanything you please . I respectyour right to do so . Studentconsensus will prove if youwere right or wrong in yourjudgment. What really dis-turbs me is the following: "Ifstudent opinion is not being re-flected, this is especially seri-ous when we see letters lik eMa Murray's and when weconsider that it is this mont hthat we go into the communit yto ask for money . Now, thereasoning behind Ma's opinion swas not especially good . Butshe does have a tremendousfollowing that thinks our lang-uage is filth and our dress,manners, and morals are notmuch better ."
SOCIAL LUNACYGood Grief! Either you ar e
unable to keep composure inthe presence of the waves ofprejudice and random socialand political lunacy, or thepreceding quote properly re-flects your thinking .
If the latter possibility isactually the case, then, unwit-
tingly, you have chosen side s
in one of the great ideologicalstruggles of all time . Fred-
erick R. Kappel, President p fA.T. & T., has set it forth all
too clearly in a recent book :
"Essentially it is a contest be-tween two quite basic concep-tions . One is that men arecapable of faith in ideas tha t
lift their minds and hearts ,ideas that raise their sights an dgive them hope, energy, an denthusiasm. Opposing this isthe belief that the pursuit ofmaterial ends is all that lifeon this earth is about . "
COMMERCE EDITO RMy dear editor of the Corn-
merce Cavalier : Do not letMa Murray give you a ba dtime. You are a person aler tand intelligent enough to us-ten and fight back . It mighthelp you to remember that ,after all, we are part of a no tunimportant segment in soc-iety college youth and the in-tellectual community . " .We are impatient to substitutereason for blind obedience, in-quiry for ideology . "
Our age will be character-ized as the time when the newelites began to divorce theirsocial goals from those of thesociety to which their prede-cessors were glad to pay alle-giance. You and I are, there-fore members of an anti-elit ein potency with roots all overthe world. An anti-elite whic hnow not only wish to sharepowers in areas being held byothers but an anti-elite whichstron1y believes in makin guse of the force that dominatesour age - the power ofscience and scientific techno-logy - to undercut the bas-tions of privilege and to im-pose human will on the socialuniverse . An anti-elite, mydear friend, which now isstriving for a transcendent sec-ular goal to eradicate theoppressive limitation tothought and spirit that in-habits the very center of thecapitalist imagination .

Tonkin GulfDid Ho 's Navy really challenge the Seventh Fleet
By HUNTER GOLAYDept. of Asian Studie s
The official United States version of theTonkin Gulf Incident was substantially that o nAug . 2, 1964, the United States destroyer Mad-dox was attacked without provocation by NorthVietnamese torpedo boats in the Gulf of Tonki nand that a second unprovoked attack waslaunched on Aug. 4 against both the Maddoxand another destroyer, the Turner Joy . Theengagements reportedly resulted in the sinkingand damaging of the North Vietnamese boatswithout damage to the United States ships .There followed a retaliatory attack by Unite dStates aircraft against three North Vietnames enaval bases, associated oil depots, and a coa lmine. Concurrently President Johnson soughtand obtained a joint resolution from the UnitedStates Congress which in effect expressed sup -port for the retaliatory attack and has sincebeen construed to express support for the esca-lating military measures employed both in Sout hVietnam and against North Vietnam .
Some wondered at the time what other out-come than a lopsided defeat the almost primi-tive North Vietnamese Navy could expect whenit suddenly decided to challenge the SeventhFleet . When the events are examined in thei rcontext it becomes clear that the North Viet-namese did no such thing .
The context surrounding the events of Aug .2 and 4 may be described in terms of the politica land military situation facingGen. Nguyen Khanh in Saigon ,the evolving military progra mof the United States, and thedomestic political situation fac-ing Johnson .
KHANH CAN'T COPEGeneral Khanh had justi-
fied the coup which brough thim to power in January, 1964 ,on the grounds that his prede-cessor, General Van Minh, wasunable to cope with the growing tide of neutral-ism which would culminate in a victory for th eCommunists . The United States openly sharedKhanh's opposition to neutralism and for thesame reasons . During his first six months inpower, however, Khanh had not only been un-able to score victories over the NLF but wa salso unable to extend his area of control . Onthe contrary his reserves were being so rapidlydepleted by NLF ambushes that he was in im-minent danger of losing control of additionalareas. In Jury his unstable political position wasrendered still more precarious by parallel ef-forts emanating from U Thant, Gen. DeGaulle ,and the 'Soviet Union to convene a kind ofGeneva Conference intended to lead to a nego-tiated settlement of the conflict. In contrast tothe National Liberation Front, the North Viet-namese, and the Chinese, all of whom reactedfavorably to the initiatives, General Khanh an dPresident Johnson categorically rejected them .Within a few days after Khan's vehement re-jection Johnson ordered the dispatch of another5,000 troops to Vietnam bringing the total t o21,000. Since there were no domestic spring sof political strength Khanh sought and receive dar.~ :nfusion from the United States . His appealfor a march to the North made a few daysprior to the Tonkin Incident implied massiv eUnited States support if it were to be considere danything more than an attempt to shore up hisprestige in Saigon. Some credibility was give nto the appeal by the revelation on July 23rd byAir Vice Marshal Ky (later General Cao Ky)that South Vietnamese commandos had beenoperating against North Vietnaf by land, sea ,and air . The Tonkin Incident appears to haveserved the policy of increased American involve-ment which was already being executed, apolicy essential to the survival of the Khan hregime .
HARDLINFRRS WON OUTThere is also evidence that the Tonkin In-
cident served a related but not identical policywhich had already been approved: the UnitedStates military policy for Vietnam . In his re -view essay on Roger Hilsman's To Move ANation, John McDermott traces the strugglewithin the Kennedy-Johnson administrationsbetween those who regarded themselves as more

politically oriented and sought to limit Ame r
can military involvement and those who rgarded North Vietnam as the source of aggresion and sought a stark confrontation . Hilsmawas assistant secretary of state for far easteaffairs during 1963 and 1964 . Hilsman left thadministration in January of 1964 because thhardliners had won out . These had been adveating increased military pressure on the Nor tthrough gradual escalation, and envisioninbombing of the North .
Prior to the Tonkin Incident a Harris P oindicated that only 42 per cent of the Americapeople approved of Johnson's Vietnam policImmediately thereafter Harris says the percenage jumped to 72 . This is a suggestion of throle Vietnam played on the American politicascene. The heart of Goldwater's campaign w athe accusation that Johnson was not prosecutinthe war effectively enough to bring it to a conelusion. The Incident provided Johnson with aopportunity to respond vigorously to an allegeCommunist attack and to obtain from congresa joint resolution supporting this and, as iturned out, future action against North Vie tnam. Richard Revere observes that the resolution was diplomatically meaningless or irrelevent in that it enables the president to do whahe already has the power to do . It provides thathe president may take all necessary measureto repel any armed attack against the forces othe United States and to prevent further aggre ssion. Any national force is expected to repeattacks without benefit of a resolution and t hreference to further aggression can mean amuch or as little as one chooses . The importan tof the resolution lies, in the effect it has on thdomestic political scene . As Rover says of su eresolution : " . . . their passage, which is alwayclose to unanimous, put partisan critics a tdisadvantage and enables the president to maintain that he is acting not only under his constitutional powers and responsibilities but asfaithful executioner of the declared will oCongress . "
DOUBT AUTHENTICITYThe nature of the United States response t
the alleged naval attacks cast further doubt othe authenticity of the incident . The first encounter on Aug. 2 was regarded as unwelcomebut not especially serious by a pentagonspokesman. General Khanh reacted differentlydeclaring that: "The Americans should seizethis occasion to dissipate the enemy's belief ac -cording to which the United States is only apaper tiger." The following day the second at-tack allegedly occurred two days earlier buthas consistently denied the second clash . Evenif one accepts the American account, the en-gagement was minor, no damage was sufferedby the Americans, and the Vietnamese losse swould seem to be adequate punishment .
Here again context is important . There hadbeen a series of North Vietnamese accusation sthat South Vietnamese naval vessels under th eprotective cover of the Maddox, one of th eAmerican ships involved in the incident, ha dbeen raiding North Vietnamese boats and ha dbombarded the islands of Hon Me and Hon Ngu .The Tonkin area had been reported to be th escene of South Vietnamese commando attackssince 1957 . It is thought by some observers thatlogistic support from the United States woul dhave been required .
We have attempted to show that the TonkinIncident was not an incident at all in the usua lsense. It was not an event which gave rise tonew policies so much as an event that servedto reinforce and to legitimize existing policies .These considerations together with the testi-mony of former United States naval Lieutenant,John W. White, lend some credibility to th eNorth Vietnamese assertion that the allegedclash between the United States destroyers an dNorth Vietnamese P .T. boats on Aug. 4 neveroccurred . He maintains that his ship, the U.S .S .Pine Island, was the first to enter the war zonein response to the alleged attack, that the chiefsonarman on board the Maddox denied that an ytorpedos had been fired, that the chief sonar -man had consistently reported this to the com-manding officer during the attack, and thata chief sonarman's judgement in such a situa-tion is more reliable than that of anyone els eon the ship including the comanding officer.

Memorial to train gearsLimey branch campus
By RICHARD STOKER ,
for Canadian University Press
Newfoundland is going to train its engineers in Britain .
Memorial University finds that Newfoundland does not hav ethe industries where engineers can get practical experience ; soa branch campus has been set up in Harlow New Town, asmall industrial town in southeast England .
When it opens in 1970, Memorial's campus will be the firs tEnglish branch of a commonwealth university . Three Americanuniversities have British campuses at present .
INDUSTRIAL EXPERIENC EEngineering students at the branch campus will be able
to have experience from any of about eighty industries in theHarlow area, ranging from biscuit-making to electronics . Theyinclude Standard Telephone labs employing 3,000 people ; a glassworks employing 2,000 which makes ten million bottles a week;the research labs of the 3-M Company ; and a three-man firmwhich makes diamond tools .
Most of them have extremely modern methods and buildings ,for Harlow is a new town, scratch-built since 1952 save for atiny old nucleus. It's not like stereotypes, industrial conceptof a grimy British factory town; the technology is among theworld's most modern .
PRACTICAL EXPERIENCEThe idea of a branch campus in England came from Lord
Taylor, the new president of Memorial . Students will do mostof the usual classroom work and spend time in a plant or inthe field, getting practical as well as theoretical knowledge abou ttheir branch of technology. Waterloo University uses a similiarsystem now: students in some areas spend two semesters at thecampus and one on a work term under the co-operative system .
MONEY CRISISFrom 'Page 1
Dean of agriculture Dr . Michael Shaw Thursday gave theend of January as the deadline for hiring new staff .
"At this stage we should have them picked out if notactually signed," Shaw said.
The shortage of funds is also responsible for a critical spac eshortage in several faculties .
Healy said Thursday he has asked the board for 60,00 0square feet of space by Sept. 1 as a temporary measure unti lmore permanent buildings are erected .
Scarfe said space was the most serious deficiency in hi sdepartment's operations .
"We desperately need more space for our graduate stu-dents to study in," Scarfe said .
"But even next year's budget won't help that, unless thereis some provisions for capital funds for construction . "
Kenny said the space problem was extremely acute in hi sdepartment .
"Our lab courses are in a terribly cramped state," he said .Shaw said Thursday the space problem is not critical in
the faculty of agriculture, but he predicted future difficulty ."The time to think about requirements in 1974 is now, "
he said .

FRANK ROTERING (44), with seven points in the fourthquarter, led the Birds to a 92-84 victory over the Korea nnational team Tuesday .
Fourth quarter fizzleenables Birds to win
After watching his South Korean national team fizzle i nthe last five minutes to drop a 92-84 decision to the UBC Thun-derbirds Tuesday night, coach Jeff Gausepohl sat back an dreflected on the carnage wreaked by two Canadian collegeteams .
"The two teams we've played so far are the very teamswe should have had no trouble with," he moaned . Monday, th eAsians were trounced 101-85 by the SFU Clansmen .
To be sure, lack of sleep and a grueling travel schedul eundoubtedly affected their play . "Near the end we were fiv epoints up on UBC . If we got one more basket at that time wecould have stalled and won," said Gausepohl .
The Birds shot 50 .6 per cent over their shorter Koreanchecks and were paced by a standout performance by Ian Dixon .The UBC ace threw up 20 shots from the field, connected on11 and finished with 24 points .
Center Frank Rotering clicked for 19 points and snare d11 rebounds for UBC .
Both Dixon and Rotering were overshadowed, however ,by a skinny but tough Korean named Shin Dong-Pa .
Shin treated 1,200 fans to a phenomenal shooting exhibition ,scoring 15 of 26 field goal tries often with two defenders drape dall over him .
Shin led the Koreans with 34 points . The brilliant shooterscored 40 points the night before against SFU .

Intrigue is the latest player to join socce rcoach Joe Johnson's Thunderbirds, but unfor-tunately the new member can't even kick alousy soccer ball .
Rather, intrigue is something intangible, yet
definitely there. In a story in yesterday's Pro-vince, news broke that a UBC player, defence -man Jim Berry, had been approached by aprofessional American soccer club .
The offer comes from the Atlanta Braves ofthe North American Soccer League, whose as-sistant coach Peter McFarland was in town onthe weekend to scout the local soccer hotbed ,the Pacific Coast League .
Surprisingly, the offer to attend the Braves'training camp was sent to Berry after lastweekend's game, in which he played his worst
game in two years .Berry declined the offer for the moment ,
after contacting Johnson . He still has anotheryear at UBC before he graduates, and a hasty
decision isn't wise .Berry right now is sitting pretty, with noth-
ing to lose and everything to gain . Johnson ad-vised him to wait for a definite offer instead oftaking a chance on making a team. And Berry
will get other offers .But the intrigue involves others than Berry .
It includes Vancouver Royals coach Feren cPuskas, Atlanta head coach Phil Woosnam,Province reporter Jeff Cross and the membersof the Thunderbirds, present and future .
Puskas is the new Royals coach now hold-ing practices in Spain . He doesn't speak 'Englishand has been to our city only once . In short ,he hasn't scouted the plentiful talent here inVancouver .
Woosnam is involved in that he has been

meet the players . Berry is not the only one to
be approached, as UBC has been scouted sinc ethe end of last season .
And that leaves Cross. As the Province'ssoccer reporter, he is attempting to get behin dthe scenes of the dealings, but as he has a habitof giving the Birds bad ink, Johnson is reluctan tto divulge news to him, though everything is
still unsettled .But Johnson is not in the least worried . He
thinks pro soccer will help UBC for sew-eel-reasons .
One is that the two seasons do not conflict.A player could play with the Birds until exams ,then join a pro club as an amateur for thesummer league .
With players alternating between a pro teamand university, Johnson sees the possibility ofscholarships or financial grants to athletics ,which can only help UBC improve their status .
Furthermore, Johnson thinks the pro leaguehas a no tampering clause, which will protec this players by allowing them to finish univer-sity, if they wish, before turning pro .
But what takes place in the future dependsmuch upon what transpires between Woosnam,Johnson and eventually Puskas, if he everleaves Spain . He is due in town Friday, roughlythe same time as Woosnam .
At the moment, it looks as though Atlant aand Woosnam have the inside track . Can youimagine the Birds having an unofficial workin gagreement with the Atlanta Braves, right underthe home-town Royals' nose ?
It sounds pretty bush on the Royals' part ,just like other recent pro flops in Vancouver,football and hockey . Are we destined to bestabbed again?
