A LIBERAL LOOKS A TU.S. LOYALTY OATHS

(Editor's Note:—The followingis an address by a distinguish-ed American liberal commen-tator, delivered on the occa-sion of the opening of th eUniversity of WashingtonCommunications Building las tSpring. Although Dr . John -son's words were intended forAmerican ears, they are stil lsignificant, even in Canada'ssunnier academic climate) .

There is one loyalty oath thatevery man in the teaching profes-sion is compelled to take an dthe penalty for its violation i snot the legal penalty of treason ,but the damnation of his immor-tal soul . He may not take thisoath before a notary public, butif he doesn't swear it on th ealtar of God, he is no teacher ,but a quack . Its terms are sim-ple. They are : "In speaking tothing in conflict with that i struth, the whole truth and noth-ing but the truth, so help m eGod . "

Anything less than that i sfalse pretense; anything morethan that is superfluous : any -thing in conflict with that i scriminal .

The prime tenets of commun-ism are, in my opinion, fantas-tic nonsense, but let that pass a smerely an opinion . What is cer-tain is that those tenets are no testablished, tested and verifiedtruth ; and any man who pro-pounds them to students as estab-lished truth is either a consciousliar or a dim-wit . Certainly heis not fit to be a teacher .

UNFIT FOR TEACHIN G

So much for communism, bu twhat about the prime tenets o fthe Republican party? I mentionit because it is the party that a tthe moment happens to hold th eexecutive power in the Unite dStates government . If its tenet sare established, tested and veri-fied truth, then Kelly is a China -man . As much may be said ofthe Democratic party and anyother political group you chooseto name. All of them are ex-perimenting in the art of govern-ment. All of them have mad emistakes. All of them at on etime or another have proclaime das fundamental laws of the uni-verse some doctrine that wa sonly the bad guess of a politicia nwhose brain was fevered by th elust of office .

It is my conviction, therefore ,that the man who propounds t ostudents as established truth th edoctrines of either the Republi-can or the Democratic party i sin the same class with a Commu-nist . He is unfit to be a teacher .

If there lives a man who ha spassed through college, univer-sity and professional school with-out learning that the whole bod yof human knowledge, as com-pared with the vast unknown, i sa very slight and dubious thing ,he is a man who has learned no -thing . Indeed, he is incapabl eof learning . He is uneducable .

Nowhere is it more conspicu-ously true than in the art of gov-ernment that our utmost progres s

WORDLYWe've always had certain suspicions about the speeche s

freshmen must listen to during Frosh Week, and today we ar epleased to report that our darkest suspicions have been con-firmed.

It seems that Miss Lynda Gates, the charming Presidentof the Women's Undergraduate .1ociety, has, along withnearly a score of other student and faculty officials, addresse dthe Frosh on several occasions, on behalf of various things .Miss Gates, however, is the first of these to admit that sheuses the same set of notes for every speech . We are reproduc-ing said notes, for the benefit of any freshmen who have faile dto hear the orientation speeches :

"Welcome — behalfWoman's place — scopetake advantageleadership — joinBig and Little siste rsign up brock — noon hour 'first constructive "

This more or less sum up everything that can be saidin a Frosh orientation speech, and it more or less sums u pour feelings about frosh orientation speeches in general .

We hope some public-spirited campus group will mimeo -graph copies of Miss Gates' notes — or something similiar —and distribute them to fresh in handy pamphlet form . Result :a tremendous saving in time and verbiage.

How about it, Critic's Circle ?

SHAK EToday, the Ubyssey pays unabashed tribute to all th e

young men who have registered for fraternity rushing .During the next two weeks, these dauntless souls will :

have their hands pumped an estimated 759 times; consum eenough liquor to float a small sailboat ; answer the eterna lquestion, "And what faculty are you in?" countless times; andforget 'hundreds of names that they should have remembered .Fraternity men will buy them coffee, laugh at their jokes, urg ethem continually to "come our way, fellah," and without fail ,Vie with each other to light the rushee's cigarettes .

Finally, after two gruelling weeks of this, the Big Moment

will get used to it . They will acquire perhaps a dozen goo dnoon-hour, and proceed to the fraternity table of their choice .With glad cries and lusty shouts they will be welcomed int o

the fold. After that, they will proceed to the fiat house for a nafternoon 's beering, to get to know their new brothers .

But right after that, the -atmosphere will change . For alas ,these young men are no longer rushees . Now they are pledges ,and some of the harsh realities of fraternity life are reveale d

to them .Floors must be scrubbed, and walls painted ; silly songs mus t

be learned in their entirety ; some new brothers may turn ou tto be more like very distant cousins; and of course fees mus t

be paid, and right away, too !In time though, the young men whom we salute toda y

will come . The rushees will make their way to the cafeteria on e

friends, and learn to he tolerably friendly to the rest . Th esensitive ones, if they don 't depledge, will resign themselves t othe discriminatory clauses that no-one bothered to tell the m

about during rushing . They'll have a lot of fun, and probabl ylearn to know and respect their fellow man quite a bit better .

After graduation, the keen types will continue to wea r

their fraternity pins, and attend rushing functions . The wise rones will realize that, although the friends they made in th efraternity are a permanent acquisition, the fraternity itsel f

is for undergraduates only . They will put their pin away ,

together with the other things of their childhood . They'l lextract what profit they can from the fraternity system, an dhope that their succesors will do the same .

And so, to all the young men on the threshold of thi s

fantastic experience, our hest wishes, and our profoundes t

sympathies .

By GERALD W . JOHNSO N

has been but picking a little pat hof light through an immens edarkness . It is my belief tha tAmerican representative demo-cracy is, for our people in ou rsituation, the best form of gov-ernment that the wit of man ha sas yet devised; but God forbidthat I should consider it the bes tthat will ever be devised . It ismy faith that in time it wil levolve into a higher and noble rform of government than me nhave ever dreamed .

'HORSE OF ANOTHER COLOR '

It is entirely reasonable torequire a man about to be in-augurated as President of th eUnited States to take an oath t odefend the Constitution as it is .The President takes office for afixed term of four years, durin gwhich period his first duty isfaithfully to execute the laws a sthey are . So it it with any othe rman—a military officer, a judge ,a sheriff, an administrator —assigned a specific task in con-nection with the operation of th egovernment .

But a teacher is a horse of an -other color . He has no duty inconnection with operation of theg meraniental machinery, henceno responsibility for keeping i tin running order. Except in spe-cial cases, he is not even pre- ,paring administrators . He is ,preparing citizens, that is, th emakers and proprietors of th emachinery, to act as citizen sshould; and certainly a primaryduty of the citizen of a democ- ;racy is to apply his energies o fmind and heart always, and hi sphysical energies sometimes, t oamending and perfecting ou rpolitical institutions .

Obviously the first step to -ward preparing the student fo rthis duty of a citizen is to con-vince him that it is possible . I tis folly to attempt to improv ewhat is already perfect . If one ,takes the attitude that the Con-stitution of the United States wa sverbally inspired by God an dthat John Marshall ' s doctrine o fjudicial review of Congressiona llegislation was brought dow n

tion no less than twenty-twotimes, as the philosophy devel-oped . So to exact from a tea-cher an oath of allegiance to theConstitution is to compel hi mto transfer his allegiance fromthe creator to the creature, whichis blasphemy in any religion andin my opinion, treason in"anypolitical system .

THE RIGHT TO REVOL T

In short, no sort of oath ca nabrogate the right of revolutionand a teacher sworn to tell thewhole truth must inform his stu-dents that it is inalienable . Gov-ernment did not grant this rightany more than it granted life ,liberty and the pursuit of hap-piness; and government cannotrightfully lay hands upon any ofthem .

A loyalty oath for teachers isjustifiable only on the theorythat the teacher is fundament-ally an officer of the govern-ment, which implies that educa-tion is as definitely an instru-mentality of government as isthe army or the navy. I canthink of no doctrine more sub-versive of the spirit of Ameri-canism . A government that en-deavors to employ the schools toconsolidate and perpetuate it spower is totalitarian in the mos tvicious meaning of the term .

Exchange StudentGoes Home Toda y

ROSEMARY KENT-BARBE RB.C. and Germany are alik e

in their Forest Management pro-grammes according to WUS ex-change student, Claus R., Hacker .

Hacker, 25, sporting a beauti-ful chestnut coloured beard ,boards a ship this morning toreturn to home-town Mannheim ,near Heidelberg. He will workfor Forest Management .

"Germany has a better ForestManagement programme thanBritish Columbia," Hackma nsaid, "but this is only becauseour system has been going forabout 150 years longer tha nyours." "B .C. has more Fores tresources than Germany," how -ever, Hackman said .

Hacker has completed workon a Masters Degree in Forestr yat UBC during the last year. Hi sthesis is On needle-bearing tree sin B .C. and Germany . He spenthis summer working for the B .C .Forest Service on Vancouve rIsland and in the Northern In-terior .

Claus took his B .A. in For-estry at Freiburg University i nGermany's Black Forest district .

Freiburg is about the same siz eas UBC, Claus said, but UB Chas more student automony .

Freiburg has more foreign stu-dents on exchange programme sthan UBC, Claus said . And Frei -burg has a greater proportion ofgirls, about 40 per cent takingexerything except Home Ec. Few,German Universities offer this ,Claus said .

Main difference between thetwo Universities is the amount o frefugee students from East Ger-many and other Communis tsattelite countries present atFreiburg . These complicate th ealready overcrowded employ-ment situation, Claus said.

Average wage even after Uni-versity graduation is approxim-ately $60 a month . Consequent-ly many German students tryto get jobs abroad although thesituation has improved in th elast two years, Claus said .

Claus himself nopes to returnto B.C. and work with the For-estry Service . "And maybemarry a Canadian girl and settledown," he added .

THE UBYSSE YTuesday, September 25, 1956

And officals at the registrar' soffice are predicting that th etotal registration will rise atleast another 200, adding up to7400, the highest in UBC' shistory, since 1948.

ARTS DECLINEThere are significient de -

creases in the numbers enroll-ed in first, second and thirdyear arts. In the faculty ofarts and science this term3074 are enrolled compared t o3040 last year .

The greatest increase is a -

Associate Registrar John A .Parnell explains the situatio n

as thus :

"The College -of Educatio nhas proven a boon to many sec-ond, third and fourth' year art sstudents. A number havetransferred from the faculty o farts and sciences to the newschool of education . "

COMMERCE UP

Commerce enrollment is u pslightly . Some 546 are study-ing the particular field thissession compared to 529 las tyear .

The School of Home Econ-omics, too, is up, Total enroll-ed to date is 171 . There were168 studying home ec last year .

Only 20 students are intheir fourth year in this schoolcompared to 39, almost 100percent more, than last year .

Opening of a college of edu-cation on the campus has alsoeffected the numbers enrolle din the School of Physical Edu-cation. Mr. Parnall contend sthat many taking phys e dlast year transferred to th eeducation college this term .

Most noteworthy increaseis in faculty of Forestry . Thisterm 54 are planning to studyforestry compared to 39 froshin the same faculty last year.

Officials feel that a slacken-ing of the entrance require-ments has probably contribu-ted to the increased enrollmen tfigure. This year there was nolanguage and the student onlyneeded a 60 percent average .

Enrollment in the facult yof graduate studies is down 1 9this year. Last sessions 323were enlisted . This year thereare 302.

Future teachers studying ele-mentary education on the one -year program total 265 . Intheir second, third and fourt hyears, 287 have enrolled in th eCollege of Education .

4

In the field of secondary edu-cation a total of 196 arestudying in all four years . Onehnudred and twenty three aretaking the one year program .

"For the 1955-56 session ap-proximately 340 registeredlate . With the late date of theopening of the term this yearthere is little likelihood thatthere will be as many late reg-istrants. However, some 20 0are expected," Mr. Parnallstated late yesterday . The fig-ures were compiled at noonSaturday .

Other noteable increaseshave been made in the facultyof applied science, school ofarchitecture, school of nursing ,faculty of law, and faculty- ofpharmacy .

In law the only increaseover last year is in the secondyear where there are 74, com-pared to 52 last session .

Faculty of Pharmacy hasmore enrolled in it than lastyear or 1954 . Number of grad -uates will be almost identicalto the 1956 figure .

A Vancouver-born Universityof B.C. graduate has been award-ed a Ph.D. degree from OhioState University .

Hairy-legged freshmen free-domites will be out in full forceThursday evening for the whoop-de-doo smoker to be held i nBrock lounge .

As far as clothing is concern-ed, "Frosh" must be garbed i ntheir full regalia .

"It will be a truth or conse-quences show if anyone turns upwithout the appropriate appar-ell," one of the hosts warned .

Admission to the affair is fre eand holders of "A" cards ar epromised front seats. The eventis scheduled to get underway a t7 .30 with Barney Potts emceein gthe evening's entertainment .

education in the middle of th emain parking lot .

Tom Hughes, assistant superin-tendent of Buildings andGrounds, says there is really noreason for the congestion . "Thereis lots of room beside the West-brook building and opposite thegym," Hughes said, "and stu-dents who complain that thes espaces are too far from thei rlectures should remember thatno other large universities allowparking anywhere on campus . "

At the moment, many studentsare parking their cars in re-stricted areas . No fines will beissued for these offenses untilOctober 1 . Warnings only wil lbe placed on the violating cars.

These warnings will contai nall the necessary information oncampus parking lots ; restricte dareas, and penalties for violators .

Chalk SignSeparatesHe's, She's

Segregation has got off to a

healthy start .

Men and women enrolled i nthe School of Education brokeapart Monday to enter thei rbuilding through doors labelle d"Boys" and "Girls . "

The signs, chalked up by somemoralistic wag or nostalgic ex-patriate from the land of rub-ber hands, spitballs and curios-ity, did not influence classes .

A few daring liberals defiedthe identified doors, but for themost part grade two instinctstriumphed over free thinking .

No comment was given b yDean Neville Scarfe, although i tis rumoured scores of would-beteachers transferred to engineer-ing .

Informed sources say thesigns were inspired by a rule a tthe new extinct Normal School .There, students were segregated .

Although the nomenclatur ewill disappear from the outside ,it will remain on the public fac-ilities .
