Auld raised the issue b ypointing to a textbook thatsells for sixty cents moreon campus than in down-town stores .The textbook is Elementar yGerman by renting andPaulsen, selling for $4 .4 0here and $3.80 at storesdowntown.

Said Auld :"If this discrepancy ex-

Council Monday night ad-vised Auld to look into a reportfiled by a council investigatin gcommittee four years ago .

Auld Wednesday calle dupon students who "may beable to help me" to contacthim."I want to determine if a

Auld introduced the issue intoNFCUS committee m e e t-i n g-Monday noon. The issue` wasturned over to council Mondaynight . Council advised him tosee if he had a case and thenbring the issue back to council.

A silver collection will be taken at half-time and th e

money will go to the. Crippled Children's Hospital .

This is the first in a seriesof Ubyssey debates on currentcampus issues.

Today's question: "Is theConservative victory in . thecampus Mock Parliament elec-tion indicative of B.C. politi-caI opinion" is debated bySocial Credit club president ,Kenneth Benson; LPP clubpresident, Jim MacFarlan ;Conservative, Brian Smith ;Liberal, Richard Sonley, andLyle Kristiansen of the Co -operative Commonwealth Fed-eration .

Moderator is Ubyssey New sEditor; Al Forrest.

Moderator Forrest : "Does theConservative' Mock Parliamentvictory indicate that Conserva-tives will win the next provin-cial election?"

Kristiansen (CCF) "No. Theyhave no MLA's in the House . I tis extremely unlikely they wil lwin enough seats to form eitherthe government or the officialopposition ."

Sonley (Lib .) : "Even if the yhad a personality like Diefen-baker to lead them in B .C. it isunlikely they could win . "

MacFarlan (LPP) : "There is areal possibility of electing alabor-farmer government . Butunless the CCF, LPP, trade uni-ons and farmers come together ,the danger of electing a Torygovernment always exists . "

Benson (SC) : "Conservative swin? Impossible! Social Creditwill stay in for many years . "

M Briggs 'At a . time when the provincial government of British

Ci mg- a is under fire-for the policies : of its power com-

mission, it is strange that little interest"in the- matter' seems

to be: :beirrg taken by the usuallys rabid= anti-Social Credit

faction at' UBC :

The UBCC' Social Credit Club either has brought or

will bring every cabinet minister out to campus during this

session, and students should now be planning- intelligent

and revealing questions to ask the :next government speaker

about the statements: of Mr. H . Lee Briggs .

(Tentatively; the -next cabinet minister to appear at

UBC will be Lands and Forests Minister, the Honourable

Ray Williston, on December 2 . The Ubyssey , will publish

full details of this appearance when it is confirmed) .

Another worthwhile activity polititaily-minded stu-

dents : could' be engaging . in at this time is to negotiate to

bring Mr . Briggs himself to. speak here.

Mr. Briggs, after all, is then instigator 'of recent- contro-

versy- over the power commission .

He 'has .-offered,, publicly, to make appearances all over

the province to put forward his views on . .the- power com-

mission.

Are- there no students on this campus who have ques-

tions they would like to ask. Mr. Briggs about his recent

and widely-publicized statements ?

We students are often touted as the most critical o f

citizens. Let's take an active interest in this Briggs-Power

Commission matter ' and preserve that reputation .

Free .. LoveEditor, The Ubyssey ,Dear Sir :

This is-my first year at UB Cand also my first year in Nort hAmerica. I enjoy life verymuch here, but am sad becaus e

there , is something missing .This "something" is the free

love societies which are so po-pular in my native land of Swe-den. Many were the happ yweekends I spent with myfriends. Here, things are dif-ferent, and life seems very dul lby comparison .

I am surprised that a countryso technically advanced asCanada is so backward socially .

.If University students knewwhat they were missing, I amcertain they would form a freelove society of their own.

Yours sincerely,SIG OLLAFSON,At=ts, IE

PETER I EBB,

English 100 Note sEditor, The Ubyssey ,

Dear Sir :

This letter is in reply to Mis sWendy Amor's letter to th eeditor which appeared underthe by-line "Fresh Exploited"in the last issue of Ubyssey .

Miss Amor begins her lette rby stating that since first yearstudents have yet to face a uni -versity exam they will pounceon any "sure-fire" crutch tha tis offered to them . She inti-mates that the persons sellin gthe set of notes in question of-fer them as "sure fire" .

This is not true . When beingoffered the notes, the studen tis explicitly warned that th enotes are not a summary orsynopsis of the material ; and,that they supplement rathe rthan supplant their lecturer' snotes. There is no high pres-sure sales talk; the student isgiven plenty of time to rea dthem over and decide .

She goes on to point out thatthe notes are only ten pageslong and that this fact is un-noticed: Aside from the ques-tionable value of using the phy-sical length as criteria, sh eblithely uses- a very vague phy-sical measure: "ten pages," sh esays .

Now ten pages can containanywhere from 4,000 to 10,00 0words depending on the'size o ftype, the spacing, etc . This se tof notes could have been de-liberately expanded to 15 pageshad they been typed with stan-dard size type• and' standar dspacing .

Furthermore, padding coul dhave -been sresnrted

Then, by 'Miss Amer's crite-ria, the 'notes would be worth-while. Further, most first yea rstudents can count up to te nand they-do-notice this fact be -fore buying.

Along the same lines;- shesuggests that the student cannot judge the value of his pur-chase since he has never takenthis English course, nor writte nan exam here before . Notwith-standing the many students un-fortunate enough to be takin gthis course the second time whohave bought a set of thesenotes, she underates the menta lcapacity of first year students .One- could, ' by the same argu-ment,"question the value of any-thing being sold for the firs ttime to anyone.

The very fact that hundred sof students have bought thesenotes indicates that they d ohelp in overcoming their "littl eexperience . . . with all the un-comfortable - abstracts ."

The fact that the notes havesold well indicates that theiroverall reputation is good .

Have you heard of a "lemon "that has 'continuously sold it -self despite its poor reputation ?

Miss Amor switches fro mdistorting the facts (consciousl yor unconsciously) and states a noutright falsehood : she askshow can "Death of a Sales-man," "The Glass Menagerie "and "Pygmalion" be condense dinto less than a page .

Firstly, the notes are not acondensation but an analysis .

Secondly, these plays ar etreated on three pages, not one .

She questions why the Eng-lish Department does not pro-duce its own edition. Well,which of the dozens of differ-ent versions of members of th eEnglish Department would b epicked and who would person-ally•devote the time , to seeingit through ?

I don't believe that the firstyear stu'tieit . is as stupid and -

naive as you make him out t obe, Miss Amor. On this verycampus, hundreds of studentsin second and third year cour-ses (including English 200) havebought similar notes for manyyears . Do you classify them a signorant and inexperienced ?

How about yourself : did youbuy a set of English 200 notes ?

Yours truly ,LORNE BRYC E

Vive la DifferenceEditor, The Ubyssey ,

Dear Sir :

May I, through your paper ,invite C. B . Meeres Esq. topack up his blue blazer, grayflannels, white shirt and plai nblue tie and go back to wher ethis attire is the recognizeduniform, or else here to do a sthe Romans do. His statementthat "the different forms o fmale attire seen on the campusrange from the hideous to theamusing" has two faults : first-ly, he insults every decentlydressed male faculty membe rand student ; and secondlr, heincludes himself in the hideou sto amazing _range by excludin gonly the lawyers while he is inArts IV .

Against the suggestion of .C .B . Meeres Esq. that the authori-ties issue a ruling on this mat-ter, I offer several arguments .

First ;. individual freedom isa treasured feature of Univer-sity life; second, it is ratherinconvenient for people whowork in labs or change quick-ly for P.E . to wear a coat an dtie ; third, it is more expensiveto have suits and coats dr ycleaned .than to maintain nea tsweaters and cardigans, it mayeven be that the sweaters arecleaner than the coats .

C . B Meeres Esq . does notspecify what exactly he termsappalling; hideous, dreadfu land billious . My reference tosweaters and cardigans stemsfrom my third year of observa-tion . of the most common sar-torial phenomena on the cam-pus which I cannot find moreobjectionable than the drabl yuniform crumpled gray flan-nels of some English institu-tions .

If uniformity and regimen-tation is what he wants, then Ican only say "Vive la differ-ence!"

I am not an educational psy-chologist ; still I object to hav-ing any bloody Limey tell mewhat to wear at UBC .

Yours truly ,

P. H., Commerce II .

Abolish the- Totem -Editor, The Ubyssey ,

Dear Sir :

Last year, at this time, acampus-wide controversy wasraging over the issue of whe-ther or not to include under-graduate pictures in the Tote m(UBC's offieial yearbook) . Thisyear, such an argument wa savoided because it was general-ly accepted that undergraduat epictures would not be included .

Many students, including my-self, are of the opinion that a nYearbook without these pic-tures is not really an Yearboo kin the truest sense of the word .This belief was substantiatedthis year when Totem subscrip-tion sales took a drastic nose-dive . No doubt this drop ca nalso be accredited partly to th e`extreme' style of the book, butthe exclusion of the undergradpictures, I believe, was the big-gest single factor responsible .

The argument that the TotemEditorial Board falls back on isthat the mechanical job of sort-ing and laying out pages upo npages of head-shots is dull andthankless . This is certainlytrue . Secondly, it is felt tha tsince the campus population i sgrowing by leaps and boundsannually, it is impractical no wand will become even more s oas the size of the student bod yincreases .

There is but one solution insight . This solution is withineasy grasping distance . Andthat is to abolish the Totem andhave them replaced by theYearbooks of the various un-dergraduate societies .

Arts and Science is plannin gto have its own annual in th every near future . The Engi-neers, of course, have theirSlipstick, and the Foresters an dthe Commercemen also publishannual records . And they arenot averse at all to printing pic-tures of the undergrads as wellas of their grads . It is bothnatural and desirable that, a sthe University grows, the jobof putting out an annual b edivided amongst the variou sfaculties .

Now it remains for ASUS ' tomake the next' move• towardspublication of their Yearbook .The subsequent move is obvi-ous .

Abolish the Totem . It hasoutlived its usefulness .

Despicable EgoismEditoi, The Ubyssey ,Dear Sir :

Friday's noon meeting wit hMr. J. Graham Parsons of theU.S. State Department reveale dsome fine things and some veryunpleasant things about UB C's"select" student body .

On the positive side of .theledger, the good attendanceseemed to indicate a healthyinterest in the world affairsand more specifically, an in-terest in the foreign policy o fa country which concerns usmost directly .

On the other hand, some veryunpleasant truths were reveal-ed about our "elite" students .

I am referring . to the beha-viour of some students durin gthe question period, which fol-lowed Mr. Parson's address .

There were a few studentspresent who . were . so inflatedwith a good opinion of their

own knowledge of foreign af-fairs that they had become

mere bloated facsimiles of awell-informed student. Theirdespicable egoism necessitate dtheir drawing attention tothemselves continually by ill-timed interruptions of thespeaker .

Intelligent questions were inorder, and Mr . Parsons demon-strated his ability and willing-ness . to answer these. The"experts" on foreign affair sfailed to realize that by theirassinine remarks they were re-vealing the utter vacuity oftheir own minds .

Irregardless of our own viewon any subject, courtesy de-mands that we allow a visitorto express himself freely, andanswer questions fully .

Surely a man like Mr . Par-sons, with adequate backgroundin and knowledge of foreignaffairs knows more about theforeign policy of his countrythan some of our dear studentwhose minds thrive on vapi-dity .

Yours truly ,LAWRENCE FAST

PROBLEMS DISCUSSED

Mr. Bistrisky w i l l be pre -pared to answer a n d discusssuch problems as should NFCU Ssupport the rights of oversea sstudents who are being de-prived of their rights to educa-tion as in Algeria?

ONE APPROACHOne approach in chemical re-

search is to find chemical swhich will stop the metabolis mof the malignant tissue, a n dthesseby wipe it out . Unfortu-nately, those chemicals whichhave so far been produced donot differentiate between ma-lignant and healthy, a n d de-stroy healthy tissue as well .

Another solution is to develo pa chemical which will stop themetabolism of the tissue, butwill allow the normal tissue t oregrow. Again there is theproblem of differentiation bythe chemical between malignantand healthy tissue .

PROGRESSDr. Zbarsky would not say

at what time in the future sat-isfactory chemical cures woul dbe forthcoming, but he did notethat excellent progress has beenmade in this field in the las ttwo years.

Dr. Zbarsky also pointed ou tthe difficulties and very- hig hcost of research of this type,with expensive chemicals, mil -lions of specimens, and untoldman-hours now being used .

Win Says Colombo Plan MoldsWorld Spiritual Co-operation

By ALLAN CHERNO VThe Colombo Plan has been, and still is, a molding force in the developmen t

co-operation amongst the nations of the world .This is the view expressed by U . Win, Ambassador Extraordinary

tiary of Burma to the United States and Canad a, in a speec hthat needy member nations derive fromsense of responsibility .

In his talk, Win outlined thefunction of the plan in its ad -ministration of economic an dtechnical aid to the needy na-tions of South and Southeas tAsia .

In the eight years since itsinception, the Colombo pla nhas provided over four billiondollars in aid, as well as in -valuable technical assistance ofexpert advisors, he said .

SPECIAL AIDCanada has supplied specia l

aid in the form of medica lequipment and assistance, aer-ial survey equipment, loggingand fishing techniques, and as-sistance in highway planningand administration .

Win pointed out that the ex-istenee of the Colombo Planhas helped greatly to deterCommunist influence in South-east Asia by lessening povertyand increasing technical knowl-edge .

He also pointed out that theassistance now given represent sonly a fraction of the needs ofthe countries of that area, an dthat growth of the plan is notonly desired, but necessary .

Treasurer AttendsMcGill Conference

By JOHN HELLIWEL L

(A31S Treasurer, John Helliwell was one of two UBCdelegates to the McGill Conference ow World Affairs, held-November 12 to 15 in Montreal . Here he presents hi s

impressions of the conference.Issues raised and problems discussed at the conference

will be dealt with more specifically in a later article by

the second delegate, Brian Smith) ."The United States must sto p

treating Canada like the gir lnext door — they have beenpulling our pigtails, stealing ou rcandy, and completely disre-garding our ideas for long en-ough. We are well enough de-veloped now to merit some con-sideration and respect . Our de -legation has been subjected t oenough abuse — we shall no tstand for any more . "

These altercations were hur-led, accompanied by several ver-bal barrages . during the closingsession of MCWA (pronounce dMikwah by the knowledgeabl emembers of the organizationa lsuperstructure). Fear of a corn-plete break-off of diplomati cties between the two nations issome-hat lessened by the factthanhe "inter-delegation missile sabove were launched on behal fof Canada by students of Col-umbia bound up in woollenscarves and phoney accents .

HELD IN MONTREALDelegates and observers from

24 Canadian and 11 Unite dStates universities attended th esecond McGill Conference o nWorld Affairs held November12th to 15th in Montreal . Thepurpose and result of the confer-ence were to create an aware-ness- amongst 'both Canadian andAmerican students of the source sof friction that exist in the re-lations between our two couptries .

Government "by the people "such as supposedly exists in bothCanada and the United State srelies for its strength upon in -formed public opinion . If pub-lie opinion affects government. 'decisions to any extent at all i tis necessary that the people 'know what they are talking }about .

and students during the fourdays of the conference . The dis-cussion at times lacked the en-ergy and emphasis it might havehad it was because of the exces-sive consideration shown by al lthe delegates for the feelings o fthe students from the othe rcountry .

Controversial issues were oc-casionally skimmed over in or-der to preserve the friendly ton eof discussion . Disagreement wa slargely confined to academicpoints and past mistakes wer egenerally ignored . If our twonations showed as much consid-eration for each other as the stu-dent delegates did, Canadian -American relations would be a scontroversial as the Happy Gang.:

WELL PLANNE DThe Conference was extreme-

ly well planned and highly or-ganized by a- vast committee ofMcGill students with a structur eadequate to cope with the logis-tical problems of a major inva-sion. The cost of the conference,about five thousand dollars, wa gprovided' generously but largely 'unknowingly by the McGill stu-dent body .
