Just flophouses ?Despite our pleasure at the news of a $5,000,000 matching

aid grant for UBC from 'the Provincial Government, we ar estill disturbed at some recent indications of the Government' sattitude to student housing. Education Minister Les Peter-son, in commenting on the new grant, was quoted as sayin gthat although he didn't agree with the statement, he couldn' tresist quoting one observer, who noted that student residen-ces are for sleeping, and universities are concerned with stu-dents only when they are awake .

We may properly infer two things from this statement .First, Mr. Peterson does not feel a complete responsibilit yfor providing student housing . Secondly, he underestimate sthe importance of student residences to an academic com-munity. We're happy to hear that Mr . Peterson doesn't agreewith the statement he quoted ; but the very fact that it wa squoted clearly indicates that he doesn't wholly disagreewith it, either .

It may very well be, as Mr. Peterson seems to think ,that provision for student residences are not an inescapablepart of the Government's responsibility to the University .The Government, if it built everything else we need bu tresidences, could rightly claim that it had treated the Uni-versity very well indeed . But until everything else is pro-vided for, student residences will remain as one of UBC' s

. most urgent needs . The majority of UBC students com efrom out of town . They've got to stay somewhere. And ifneighbouring Point Grey can't accommodate them all—an dthis situation is bound to develop in the near future, a srising enrollment estimates become a reality—then residence smust be built . The President has stated that UBC studentsdeserve the very best . Perhaps ; but we feel sure that' UBCstudents would be more than satisfied with much less tha nthe best, as long as it didn't involve a five-mile ride to UB Cevery morning .

And residences don 't merely provide tt place for stu-dents to sleep, as Mr. Peterson half intimates. If properlydesigned and properly utilized, residences can play almos tas important a role in the learning process as does a tfni-versity Library . One of the few concrete conclusions t oemerge from last weekend's Academic Symposium was thatstudents and professors must have some place to meet an dtalk together . Both students and professors, most of them ,meeting together for the first time at Parksville were astound-ed to discover each other—to realize that if students an dfaculty sat tlown and talked together much more often ,UBC could become ten tines more valuable as an insti-tution of learning. It was also agreed that many of the prob-lems involved in bringing this situation about are fin-ancial and architectural . In other words, if proper resi-dences are secured, where students can meet faculty andother students in an atmosphere conducive to intellectua lconversation, then UBC would become much more signifi-cant as an educational institution ; residences would teach

far more than would the lecture rooms .

And Mr. Peterson, we hope you are aware of thes e

things, and that our fears are unfounded . Student residence s

aren't simply academic flophouses, and the fact that th e

University Creeds other thing., more is no reason for wholl y

disclaiming responsibility for them .

Happy EndingA rather lame outcry is being raised in Ottawa thes e

clays . as members pick over the bones of the Trans-Canad a

Pipeline issue. Financing has been cumpleted and construc-

tion is tinder way ; and Mr . Howe has announced that Trans-Canada has repaid its Government loan in lull, with inter -

est . The :treat hassle is almost over : the Liberals will hav e

plenty of explaining to do around election time, the Oppo-

sition will have plenty of ammu n it ion, and Canada wil l

have her pipeline . So everything may turn out well in th e

end, especially if the Liberals lose a few seats because of th e

issue .

By DAVE JACKSO N

In the event that the Ubys-sey wishes to print a news item

from a source other than it s

own local' news network, N .F .

C .U .S . Headquarters, or the

Reporter, I am passing along afew careless observations fromHamburg University .

I say "careless" because the y

Ere neither profound nor auth-oritative, but they are drawn

so as to avoid as much as pos-sible repetition of the samehackneyed material that onesees published year after year .

I should first like to offer awarning to any prospective re-cipient of an overseas ' stud ygrant, that such awards are-not

'designed to benefit the studentby either facilitating any aeade-mic progress or' increasing hi sgeneral experience,' but ratherto stimulate the business of theUniversal Postal Union .

Between the time that on esets foot on foreign soil and 'fin-ally leaves with a sigh of relief ,supporting a numbed, aching ,and muscularly overdevelope d"bras de plume", one is' en-gaged most of the time in send-ing out literally volumes o fcorrespondence ,

Apart from official exchangeof information, this correspbnd-ence falls into three principa lcategories — that with the cas-ually curious, the type of eld-erly aunt who wants somethin gwith a "nice continental fla-vour," or the eager philatelis twho often is happy with a nempty envelope as long as i tis plastered with every avail-able denomination of stam pand is postmarked in all fourcorners .

If the strident proceedin gabroad is successful in securin ga subsidiary allowance to cove rthe cost of writing material sand postage, ' his solvency i sguaranteed . Otherwise he i sdoomed. to experience the ef-fects of dismal poverty anddebt within the first few week sat his new location .

IVORY TOWE RIn general Hamburg's stu-

dent government functions ,

rightly or wrongly, in the sam e"ivory tower" atinospher'e asUBC's, although it does con-descend to hold periodic "ope n

sittings . "The institution is, however ,

so hopelessly decentralized ,that any widespread interes ton the part of the student bod yis impossible, Consequently ,

the University is spared th e

confusion of that extraordinar yphenomenon Icemen as the gen-

eral meeting .Nor does one expect to se e

the referendum used in a vai nattempt to solve a problem, thesolution of which is inevitabl yfound in the opposite course ofaction .

1 .indoubtedly the lack of stu-dent unity and a certain wan t

of local spirit is due in part to

the absence of a University--- -., Revolverblatt", so close to th ehearts of all tied perfornhn gthe same functions as the Ubys -sey .

One never hears much in th eway of back fence gossip, alth-ough the potential sonrccs ar enumerous . What student espri tlacks on the local leVcl is storethan amply compensated fo rby a national feeling, which

demonstrates itself on an infi-nite nuniber of occasions an dconcerns itself principally wit hcurrent political and educa-tional problems .

Whereas the Hungarian situ-ation produced a laudable na-tionwide effort from Germa nstudents, attention has recentl ybeen turned to the uneasy stat eof events in the Siejetzone o fthe country where the studentsare restless, and back to th eoverall problem of reunifica-tion .

The more daring eyes ar elooking determinedly furtherafield towards the rands lyingeast of the Oder Oneisse Line ,although this developing Ger-man=Polish issue still remain sof secondary importance .

There also exists an excel-lent national newspaper • andmagazine, • which is, unfortun-ately, only a monthly .JEANS ' AND TdIIH1RT

'Both the students and theuniversities themselves a'repoor in comparison with ou rstandards. Clothing is gener-ally of inferior quality an dslightly outmodish . But the nagain a German would neve rstoop to the level of wearing

jeans and a T-shirt .Entertainment, and recrea-

tion can seldom be enjoyed o nany lavish scale . A motor veh-icle is indeed a rarity, and thefew owned by students are re-stricted mainly to scooters, mo-torcycles, or devilish contrap-tions known as Kabinenroller—plastic and metal spheres-o nwheels with a motor cycle en-gine, which one has to keeptied to a tree to stop fromblowing away, and which con-stitute a menace to the cit ysanitary system because theyoccasionally fall down a man -hole disrupting the sewerag eflow .

Classroom and laboratory ar-rangements are primitive whil eathletic facilities are few . Theonly groups that can avai lthemselves of a wash after a nexhausting workout are th eswimming team and the row-ing crew, and then not by orth-odox methods .SNAKE SLOP

One of the most unpleasan taspects of life at the Universityare the meals in the Mensa ,the student restaurant. Eventhough UBC Cal" concoction stend to encourage the develop-ment of ulcers after a perio dof time, one at least is able t omake a reasonably accurateguess as to what one is eatin gor, al any rate, what form th efood originally had . Sittin gand staring at a slowly sinking ,steaming, greyish heap of vis-cosity in the Meese (they d o1101 cvcn have the decency totint it), one would not norm-ally hazard classifying it a sorganic or not .

The steals, incidently, arefondly referred to here as --(Schlangenspulicht) -- snak eslop .

Ilanthu'g students hay c beenstriking in protest against th equality of the food for years ,and it has, of crt :n•S(, hccom eProt rcssi~ely worse . Yet i fone can afford less tepUlsi\ efare elsewhere, it dies riot lak elong to discover that the diet-ary staple of Northern Ger -

many is the potato,

i s

used quite interchangeable as

joint, vegetable, or sweet . Nordoes the average student, a tleast in the northern section o fthe country, consume any-where near the same qvntityof beer as we .

Contrary to general opinion, 'then, the resistance to alcoholof any outstanding Artsniar lwould measure up most favour.ably with German standards .The root of this grave defici-ency is again economic .RULE OF SOBRIET Y

One of the few exceptions tothe rule of sobriety are th emembers of the Akademisch eVerbindungen, who are imbib-ers in the true sense of theword . Such organizations arethe "leech" or parasitic asso-ciations of German academi clife, and correspond closelywith the North AmericanGreek Letter Societies .

Both in fact, indulge in manyof the same infantile practice sand cloak their ritual unde rsemi-secrecy .

"Selection," too, is the by -word of the German societie sand numbers of members fi tinto the "poor little rich boy "or "Papa and Grandpapa werealso former leading figures i nthe Danzig Bo-Russia Korp "classifications ,

A young recruit has the sig-nificant honor of sporting no tonly the lapel pin of his orga-nization, but often a prominen tand magnificent sabre scar onhis cheek or forehead .

Hazing and fencing, whil ediffering in degree of purpose ,have the same ultimate aim ofproving the worth of the indi-vidual . Be as it may, none o fthe Verbindungen are hypocrit-ical enough to donate their ef-forts nominally to a charity .

The female students haveeither been prevented from, o rmore likely have not felt i tnecessary to form equivalentassociations, or even anythin gas pointless as a sorority ; theirefforts are concentrated on pur-suits of a more positive aca-demic or social nature .

Despite the fact that, as i nNorth America, valuable con-tacts are afforded by member -ship, the Korps and Burschen-schaften have largely outlivedtheir importance and certainl ytheir usefulness . They arc thusdwindling, b u t appreciablyquicker than the fraternitiesand sororities, a testimony per-haps to the greater maturity o fthe German student .RATHER ANNOYING

For one used to it relativeamount. of freedom from th epressure of bureaucracy i nCanada, German organizatio nand the length of official pro-cess can prove to be rather an-noying .

Virtually nothing is don ewithout a form, duly signedand stamped by at least thre emunicipal, state, or federal of-fices, or by authorities subjec tto direct or indirect control b yvarious government agencies .This in itself would not be es-pecially disturbing it it werenot for the fact that practicall yall application or routine offi-cial fortes have io be paid fo r

_whethet' for tenidence per -mils, transportation tickets ,university entrance or finan-cial matters . Is the realm ofauthoritative

Friends of the U.byssey arerapidly coming to the conclu-sion that Premier Bennett is 'striving to undermine the paper' sreputation. Dubious at the bes tof times, the Ubyssey's reputa-tion , suffers enough from accusa-tions of lewdness, frivolity an dprejudice without having to sus-tain charges of grossly misrep-resenting the news. Not onlythat, but it encourages Barri eHale to write a series of con-secutively trucelent and thenapologetic verses .

The provincial government' son-again-off-again attitude to -wards the Great Trek has agon-ized the news editor into re-ap-praising the Ubyssey's metho dof presenting the news. As aresult, in future when PremierBennett lays down policy on amatter concerning UBC, the pa-per will provide a do-it-yoursel fpress release as follows :

At Lachine, Que., Northern Electric manufactures telephon etoil wire which is as thin as a human hair . , .At the same plant, Northern recently completed a mammot hcustom-built power cable with a diameter of just unde rsix inches.

In addition to manufacturing electrical wire an dcable, and communications equipment and systems, Norther nElectric also distribute approximately 100,000 electrica lproducts which stem from more than 1,000 separat emanufacturers .
