Prewidential Selection
to wait LClong
while”
A committee to select a new
president for the University of
Victoria will not be formed in
the near future.
Several members of the
Board of Governorsand the
President of theFaculty
Association all said that as
yet, no committee
for
the
selection of a new president
had been struck and probably
wouldnot be for some time.

as

Martlet Monday that heexpected
to
serve as Wic’s
presidentfor at least a year
and a half.
GilbertAuchinleck,vice
chairman of the Board of
Governors said of the formation of a president selection
committee, !‘there are no new
developments of any kind on
that at all, we’re still getting
over the jolt of the last thing”
(Patridge’s resignation)
He went on to comment that
there has not yet been a
meeting of the Board since the
resignation and that in any
case “we’ll have to see how
the acting president makes
outandwe’ll have to take a
long hard look after that.”
Justin Harbord,President
of Harbord Insurance Co. and
another member of the Board
of Governors said that no
action would be taken on the
selection of a new president
“for a good long time”, and he
indicated that nonewould be
taken at least until January.
Charles Doyle,the president
of the Faculty Association also
stated
that
he

No indication was given
about who would be on such a

Hope that the cases of nonrenewed professors Bill Goede
and TobyGraffcouldbe
reopened,
dimmed
Monday
with the statements of three
members of the Board of
Governors.
Vice-chairman of the Board,
GillAuchinleck,andBoard
members Justin Harbord and
Alex Hall,werenegative
about possible re-examination
of the two cases.
Auchinleck said that it was
hispersonal view that “the
fact we’ve got a new president
won’t change a thing.”
When asked what
would
happen if Faculty
and
students were to express their
support for the re-opening of
the three cases, Auchinleck
stated that he couldn’tsay for
sure what he’d do, but added
that he did not feel it-would
change his point of view.
“I feelthething
has gone
full route, and for the good of
the university it’s over now,”
he concluded.
Harbordindicated that he
couldn’t say what his own
opinion of the
cases
is,
because “my personal opmion
is that of the
Board,
and
therefore I haven’t
one,
okay?”
Governor Hall said that he
“wouldn’t want to hazard an
individual
guess”
as to
whether there was any chance
of the tenure cases being reopened because the Board has
not yet discussed it.
He added, though, that he
wouldnot
support the idea
himself unless information
wasproducedwhich had not
been
covered
by previous
investigations.
Hall said “only in the light of
new information, “would the
Graff / Goede controversy be
rwpened; “specific new data
would be needed.”
Many people voiced a lack
of faith in the University
appointed commission, which
hadofficially dealt withthe
dispute, and refusedto accept
its findings as impartial.
When questioned on this
Hall said that if other people
knew commission
the
members as he did
they
wouldn’t “construethat the
McLaurin
commission
was
acting for any vested
interest”.
The tribunal was made up of
C.C. McLaurin, exan
chancellorandex-Board
of
Governors member; Bernard
Riedel, Dean of pharmacy at
UBC, and B.B. Carrothers, a
Vancouver lawyer who is the
brother of a university
president.
Councilto thecommission
wasDavidWilliams,
a Duncanlawyerandmember
of
UBC’s Board of Governors.
Chairman ofUVic’s Board,
Lloyd G. McKenzie, was out of
town andunavailable
for
comment,but
. he
had
indicated earlier, however, that
heconsidered the possibility
of a secondlook at the two
cases“extremely
unlikely”.
F a c uAl tsys o c i a t i b n
President,Charles
Doyle,
expressed his desire to see the
cases of Graff and Goede reopened.
Last year’s tenure dispute
centred around the cases of
three professors; Tikam Jain who has since withdrawn his
case from before
the
Canadian
Association
of
University Teachers. - of the
department of chemistry;
Graff, of philosophy,and
Goede
from
the
English
department. All three had
been denied tenure by the
University
administration
despite s u w t fromthe
majority of students on
campus, and, in the cases of
Goede and
Graff,
strong
support from theirdepartments.
The three cases were investigated by the Canadian
Association of University
Teachers (CAUT) which
found that the treatment of the
three by the administration
was unsatisfactory.
CAUT recommendedthe
establishment of an independent tribunal, composed of
members
chosen
by the
university
administration,
and the professors involved in
the dispute, to review the
cases.
The
CAUT
recommendations were rejected by
the University administration,
and partly because of this
President Bruce Partridge
received a substantial vote of
non-confidence
from
both
students and faculty.
The President was later
censured by C A W in a unprecedented move. CAUT has
taken such action against
universities
before,
but
Partridge was the first individual to be censured.
W i c set up a three man
panel to look into the cases,
but
those
hearings
were
boycotted by C A W because
the tribunal “was established
unilaterally by the University
administration, andit is so

claims AEC
WASHINGTON - Atomic
Energy Commission (AEC)
Chairman James Schlesinger
has reported to congress that
the largest U.S. underground
nuclear test was carried out
successfully, safely, and with
environmental
damage
confined to a small section of
AmchitkaIsland.
In the first full-scale report
since the November 6 test, Dr.
Schlesinger said “there were
no earthquakes, no tidal
waves, no releases of
radiation. To date there are no
indications of any significant
environmental impact beyond
the area of the immediate test
site.”
He defended andpraised
most of the environmental
groups who had
sought
to
block
the
five-megaton
explosion.
“In the wake of the test
there has been a tendency to
criticize
environthe
mentalists,”
he
said
in
November 15 testimony to a
House
Public
Works
Appropriations Subcommittee.
“Most acted with great
responsibility,”
he
said.
“Some of the more extreme
statements
attributed
to
environmentalistsdid
not
comefromthe
bulkof
the
environmental
organizations.”
He cited one
group,
the
NationalWildlife Federation,
for taking “an
exceedingly
responsibleposition”but
he
didnot name the individuals
or groups which he said made
“melodramatic” statements.
Schlesinger
Dr. also
repeated his earlier statement
that the Soviet Union had set
off the largest underground
and other fables
Last week this column suggestedthat there was a need for
a statement of academic priorities in the face of imminent
action by government to change the Universities Act, and
further that it was the responsibility of faculty to originate
such a statement.
I have since been told that my comments were misdirected, that they indicated anantipathy towards faculty in
general, and that the real source of the problems ofUVic
originate in, and devolve from the actions of the Board of
Governors. My critic was somewhat correct about my antipathy, but quite wrong about
the source of the problems.
Given thepresent natureof appointments to the Boards of universities there is no reason to expect our Board to act
otherwise than they havedone. Perhaps a little more finesse
would have limited the chaos, but the ojbectives would have
been the same. It is even a small blessing that the Justin
Harbords and Lloyd McKenziesof this worldare thoroughly
predictable. They represent the pinnacle of a twenty year old
education policy conceived in an economic vacuum.
The questionis, canor should we be able to say the same of
faculty? I think we should not, but I’m sorry to say that on
their track record to date, we can.
If an academic faculty is unable to present a sustained
controversy to a non-academic board, then that faculty is

common-place. . . . .the same values as those of the Board.
The Universityof Victoria, likeit or not, earned it’s degree
of ill-repute because it’s faculty, in the main, failed in their
responsibility to their students, the institution, and themselves.
It is even now doubtful that time will give them another
chance, and there is little indication that they are prepared to
accept the responsibility.
It still seems worthwhile to remind them of other people’s
expectations.
Oneof the current favorite indoor sports on campus involves trying to guestimate the size of the hole in this years

by the late crisis in management.

“Thelargest
Sovietunderground
test
we have
monitored
was
in
October,
1970. Our original estimate
was six megatons - later we
adjusted the estimate to four
to six megatons. Butwe are
confident that it was larger
than the Amchitka test.”
A secondSoviet
test last
month,he said, was in the
three-to-fivemegaton range.
Both were presumably tests of
a Soviet Anti-Ballistic Missile
(ABM) warhead.
In a 7O-minute question-andanswer
session
with the
Committee, Dr. Schlesginer
repeated that no further tests
are planned
for
Amchitka.
“We plan to shut down and
repair any damage causedby
the AFX,” he said.
But onthe larger question of
further U.S. underground
testing, he said the Atomic
Energy Commission “plans
relatively low yield tests” to
continue at the Nevada site in
Western United States.
“Until
such
time as all
powers cease such R and D
(Research and Development)
efforts,” he said, “it would be
imprudent for theUnited
States to unilaterally cease
such tests” in the absence of a
universal ban on nuclear
testing that includes on site
inspection.
On the
extent
of environmental
damage
on
Amchitka,Dr.Schlesinger
said :
“There wasno impact more
than

“Ground cracking occured

little commercial endeavour to earn some bread.

7. You won’t hear him say that hesat for a year aschairman

a damn thing aboutthe things he’snow demanding. In fact
he put up such poor
a show that Haddock fired him.

And being fiied by Haddock is akin to being refused admittance to a Vikings RuggerParty ’cause you’redrunk.
Oh yes. Pinto Pete will sling more smooth bull than you’ve
ever heard in your life as he reaches, with the blessings of a
few Uttion Club bully boys,
for the big brass necklace.
Remember a coupleof weeks ago when we suggested that
hard-rock,we-call-em-as-we-see-em,
reporters Clem
Chapple. Times, and Hubert Beyer, Colonist. take a look at
Pollen’s track attendance record and print what they found?
Whether they ever checked or not we don’t know, but they
sure as hell never printedtheir findings if they did.
So, here they are Clem and Hubert, you fearless wonders of
journalism.
Juvenile Detention Home Committee, nine meetings,
attended two. (Who cares about those kids, anyway - they’re
all rotten. )
Provincial Court ofB.C., Family Division, six meetings,
attended one. (Deserted wives and kids ain’t Peter’s cup of
tea )
Metropolitan Health b a r d , 10 meetings, attended four. ( A
Pollen-pox on such nasty things as social diseases and septic
tank pollution.)
Even his beloved Advisory Planning Commission,of which
he was a member durng his f i s t year in office, onlyrated one
third attendance throughout the year.
The rest of the record is too dismal to contemplate. It’s
shocking that a man so contemptuous of the meat and potato
work shouldhave the effronteryto ask for the big bauble. But
it’s evenmore shocking that theever vigilant press, watched
over by such courageous worthies as Cordon Bell (Times)
and Fred Barnes (Colonist) should be 80 contemptuous of
their readers’ right to know.
It’s too bad the other threecandidates haven’t been invited

Isherwood something betweenthe whine of a rusty gateand a

Yes, D.N.A.l is a hell of a
good tape. Theengineering
needsimproving, I’ll admit,
and there are things that can
be done
with
stereophonic
soundthatRussellhasn’t
touched upon. But,
consideringcontentoverglossy
engineering, D.N.A.l is a way
out in front of anything else I
have heard.
And the other good thing is
that D.N.A.1 is a Canadian
magazine -- avoice from the
West Coast - a voice which
will help to put Victoriaon the
map. It’s nothappeningin
New York or London,
it’s
happening right here.
If you’d
like
a copy OF
D.N.A.1 get 1800feet of reel-t+
reel tape or a 45 minute
cassette to Lawrence Russell
at the English Department there is no charge forthe
dubbing.
By the way,D.N.A.2 has just
been released. Maybe
you
should send two reeis.
One more thing, if you’re
interesled in working in ’
stereotape, or have some stuff
that might go down good
- get
in touch with Russell. D.N.A.3
is on the way.
The book they didn’t dare to
publish is now a movie review
The Stewardesses
is
a
daring, newfilmwhichwill
keep you on the edge of your
seat from start to finish !
NeverbeforeinHollywood
history have producershad
the nerve to take so many
actresses,rejected from t.v.
commercials
for
lack
of
talent, put them together with
a director who couldn’ttell
you how to get to the nearest
john even if he were standing
in a toiletbowl, and add a
cameraman who doesn’t know
a lens cover from a light
meter. Well maybe therehave
been producers who dared to
workwith that sort of combinationbefore,
but they
never released the finished
product.
It’s guaranteed, however,
that you’ll be on the edge
of
your seat right
up
to
the
dramatic closing scene - not
because you’re too excitea to
sit back,but rather because
you’ll
be
straining as
far
forward as possible trying to
make out what thehell’s going
on, or coming
off,
on
the
screen.
The movie was filmed in
3
D, a techniquethatwas
abandonedinthe
50’s. After
experiencing the effect you’ll
h o w why.
Despitethe
three dimensional
distortion,
the
photography
is
at
times
overpowering, climaxing with
a sixsecondshot
of total
darkness that is so real it
causes the other scenesto
suffer by comparison. One is
certainly sorry to see
the
camera move on. ..
Speaking of 3 D - thinking
of the sequels this film could
lead to, gets you just a dizzy:
The Waitresses- a black and
white flick, with
everyone
givenseventeenstrips
of
colouredcellophane
to look
through !
The Nurses - inwhich the
only hospital shot will
be in the
opening scene, when the
camera leaves the building
and follows the Nurses home
to their bed(s).

Poetry reading
big disappointment
Three Canadianpoets..
sounded
It
like great
a
program:
three
major
Canadian poets reading their
own works on the same day.
Unfortunately,
perthe
formanee in the MacLaurin
building Wednesday, was only
bigin the Senseofbeing
a
disappointment.
Birney, who read
first, haslong been considered
one of Canada’s finest poets.
Sadly, the poems he chose to
read Wednesday showed only
occasional flashes of the talent
that has won him his deserved
recognition.
Birney
was
alwaysentertaining,very
funny at timesand at other
thoughtful
times
and
reminiscent, switching easily
from role to role as required,
but only in one poem What’s
So Big
About
Green?(and
even theninfrequently) did he
comeclose to a deeppoetic
interpretation of life.
However, as Birney ex- .
Kearns
-
.
...all in a row
by DougRowe
plained privately after the
readings, his appearance at
UVic was approximately his
fiftieth reading ofthe year,
and his favourite poems were
Pretty Well exhausted. As a
result he went outof his way to
choose poems he had
read less
often.Birney’s performance
was unquestionably the most
successful of the three, but it
wasstilldisappointing
in
comparison to what he might
have done.
Lionel Kearns was an entirely differentkettle of fish. A
former student of Birney’s,
Kearns likewise displayed an
excellent sense of humour, but
very
little
else.
Unquestionably there is a place, a
very important place, for
humorous poetry, but Kearns’
funniness
seemed
to
exist
more for its own sake than to
aid any poetic insight.
Even
then,
such
poetry.can
be effective if used as a con-
trast against other poetry, but
in an unrelievedseries such as
Kearns presented it onlyindicates an inconsequence in
the writer’s view of the world.
In all fairness to Kearns,
perhaps the poems heread are
not representative of the full
range of his talent: Inany
case, if he doesn’t makeit as a
poet he shouldbe able to get a
comedy spot on the CBC.
The third poet to read was
Bill Bissett.Unfortunately
introduced as “Canada’s most
original poet”, Bissett seemed
to feelthat he had a great deal
to live up to and immediately
attacked the audience with an
abusivepolemical crammed
to the assholewith second-rate
politicalsloganism.
Quite
likely this was intendedto lead
up to some
apocalyptic
climax, but the thought behind
it was so far short of the
serious perception oneexpects
frompoetrythatit
only
succeeded in alienatinga
large part of the audience.

Exchange students
here in new year
This January 15 students
from
the
University
of
Sherbrooke will arrive in
Victoria for a week long visit.
Their stay is sponsored by
UVic’s Exchange Committee,
which is arranging billeting
and a schedule of activities.
TheQuebecers will arrive
Thursday,January 6 before
classes beginforthe
spring
term. Their first four days will
therefore be taken up with offcampus visits.
Scheduled already are tours
of the Parliament Buildings
the Provincial Museumand
the Maritime Museum.
Also included is a visit to the
B.C. Department of Education
where the students will beable
to discuss, with the Minister or
with an official,
the
comparative differences between
the B.C. and Quebec education
systems.
Another item on the agenda
is a tour of CityHalland
a
discussion
with
the Mayor
about Civic Government.
Oncampus activities would
begin the first day of classes
and would include special
stops at the Library, Biology
Department and
Computing
Centre, and the PUB in the
evening.
Hopefullythe students will
be able to meet with members
of the Departments of An:hropology-Sociology,
PoliticalScience,History,
EcoriomicsandPsychology.
The students are expected to
bringfilm
a abouttheir
province which
they
would
show one evening to everyone
interested. The film would be
followed by a discussion and a
licensed reception in the SUB.
Anyone interested
in
billetingone or more of the
students, andbeing able to
participate in the activities
that have been arranged can
leave his or her name at the
SUB General Office or place a
note in GregFraser’s mailbox
in the SUB.
Canadian poetry. There are
many poets of many different
kinds living in Canada and at
last we’re getting a chance to
see some of them at UVic.
Creditfor this shouldgo to
Mike
Doyle
of the English
department, who has been
responsible
for
all
four
Canadian poets who read this
month. This was onlyattained
at the expense of some tension
and
rivalry
within the
department itself, as was
pointed out by the absence, at
both of the Doyle productions,
of the well-known
cock
of
UVic’s roost of pet singing
fowl.Theperson
i n question
has himselfdone
and continues to do a fine job of
bringing in visiting poets, but
surely a man who takes
himself seriously asa poet
shouldbe able toovercome
petty departmental politics in
order to hear the workof other
poets.
Bisset - attacked audience
Birney
iI
Happily, the one poemseemed
to satisfy all his inclinations in
that direction, and Bissett
then read some of the most
interesting
poetry
of the
program.
Like B.P. Nicd who read at
UVic earlier in the month,
Bissettwrites a great many
poems based, in sound if not in
language on Indian chants.
These chants, by returning to
the tribal origins of poetry,
embody in concrete form the
attempt to return to a simpler,
more healthy way of life that
is so importanta
part of
modern
literature.
As a
solution or even a means this
seems too simplistic to
be
adequate, but nonetheless it’s
goodto see poets who aren’t
afraid to takechances
by
trying something new.
Perhaps themostpositive
thing to come
out
of the
reading was
the
sense of
diversity that exists within

Beyond the hills and into the valleys
by Tweedle dum& Tweedle dee
Russ
Meyer
(producer of
‘Beyond the Valley of the

‘Stewardesses’. With an aura
of a work of cinematographic
art, it turned out to be an eye
straining skin flick. Old
MacDonald
couldn’t
have
asked for a more variedfarm.
Working under the pretense
that aStewardesses life, at
one time, wasnothingbut a

were strenuous and frequent.

until one was caught up in the
hairy web.
Well,wewalkedinto

and
a pair of

us. After
shuffling
inconspiculouslyinto our seats
we
took
a careful glance
around and sawthat everyone
else wasalsofondling
their

expectant hush as the lights
went
down
and the movie
beganand it was almost 5
minutes before the panting
and moaning became clearly
audible.
Starting off in the cockpit,
we’re conveniently introduced
to the

a deadly

and
her

narcissist with a dildoic stoic.
Remember ‘To Sir With

focused on the school
problem? In this one they had
problems which must have
made their hair curl; trying to
focus into the ‘Pubic Jungle’.

It’s
extremely
mmplex. Each day I learn of
Lew areas of concern. It’s a

Martlet: How long will your
lppointment be for? Do you
lave any ideaat the moment?
F: NO;I can’t say definitely.
think at the moment we’re
hinkingin terms of a year,
urd a half; that is, the rest of
he academicyear and the
rear 1972-73. That’s as far as
ve can look ahead at the
noment.
M: What exactly will your
uties consist of? Will you be
laking policy statements and
oUcy decisions as you
go
long. or wiU you just follow
le wishes of the Board of
iovernors
and
continue
urrent
administrative
olicies?
F: Well, it will be a question
f working with all segments
f the university. Certainly
m employed bythe Board of
bvernors so I am responsible
,them,butIwiUbeworlring.
iththedeansandthroughthe
eans with department heads
and certainly I hope with the
faculty association and indeed
with the student body as well.
And through
working
with
these groups we will establish
policies as we go along.There
will be thingsthat will have to
be changed, there are things
that will have to be set in
motion that have been started
and have been dropped by the
wayside. So to the extent that
new policies, new approaches
are necessary,
yeah,
we’ll
face them, do something about
it.
M: I remember a week ago
you were asked if there were
any plans afoot to renewinvestigation of the three tenure
cases and you said ‘as of yet
nothing, you didn’t know
anything’. I wonder if that
situation has changed.
F: Thesituationisexactly
the same. My understanding
of the case is that there has
been an appeal to the visitor of
the university and myview
would be as long as there is an
appeal to that
authority
nothing could be done. There
has been no approach to me up
to now, so there’s no reason
for any action, or evenany
discussion,of the case. And
until suchtime as the question
is raised again there’s nothing
that one can say.
M; Do you have any particular view of what the role of
an administrator ought to be
atan
university, how the
power structure oughtto
work? This is something that
has been quite touchy for the
last few years.
F: I havesomeplans
in
mind to undertake a study in
university governance. It’s
my hope that this study will be
launchedin
thevery
near
future, I’ll saying
be
srmeLhiagtoseapteaboutthis
F: I didn’tknowyou were
coming until this morning so I
didn’t prepare anythingbut
during lunch I scribbled a
couple of notes so let me just
refer to them ...
(reading from a paper)
‘I wishto do all that I can to
help this university realize its
fullpotential. Inmyopinion
we have a tremendous
reservoir of talent in this
university, some of which has
beenuntapped. I believe we
can become first-rate
a
university. To do this we have
to establish a climatein which
faculty can do what they are
bestqualified
to doin
the
areas of teaching
and
research. This means that we
have to restore stability and
confidence
in
rational
processes. There must
be
mutual respect and mutual
desire to cooperate in the
development
and
a souad
academicprogram ... Those
iwolved must decidewhether
or not they want a university
in which they can take pride.
It is my desire to workwith
faculty and students toward
this end. My success will
depend upon the degree to
which allsectors
of the
university are willing to work
towards a commongoal, the
dissemination of knowledge
and the search for truth. I
have some
plans
to move
things forward in the areas of
academic planning, university
governance and the study of
tenure. Thiswillgoforward
immediately in co+peration
with President Partridge.’
So I see administration as
existing to facilitate the work
of an organization, to make it
possibleforthose
who are
involved in teachingand
research todothosethings
they are qualified to do.”
M: So youdon’tthink
the
administration shouldplay a
direct role in the academic
affairs of the university?
F: It has to play a direct
role, I think it has to provide
leadership. I’mnottoo
sure
what you mean by a direct
role. It must be involved if it’s
going to provide the kindof
supportand
try to get the
finances, the facilities, the
buildings, this has to be done
with a view toward the quality
and the value of the academic
offerings. 1don’t think you can
separate these things . . ..
M: Do you see any plans in
the future for a reworking of
the tenure docummt?
F: The negotiations for the
tenure document have been
going on but have come more
or less to a halt. We have to
undertake a renewed study of
the tenure document. I think
we have to askourselves why
we want a tenure document,
what we expect it to do, and
when we’ve decided this then
we can determine the kind of
tenure document that will do
the things we want it to do.
These are the questions we
have to ask, whether we can
resurrect or continue with the
document wenow
have, or
whether we have to scrap it
and construct a new one. I
don’t know.
But withinthe next few days
wewillbe
discussing these
things, and we will be looking
at the tenure document andwe
will be discussing what parts
of it are worth keeping,in any,
.._We’re going to have to look
at the wholephilosophy
of
tenure and decide whether it’s
a goodthing or not I don’t
think we should assume these
things . . . . If we think it’s
something q a t will strengthen
the university then I think we
should make every effort to
create a document that will do
these things.
M: I remember in what
seems
to
me
similar circumstances four yearsago
when there was another acting
president that at that peint &e
administrationseemed
te
make 9.#e a few policy
changes in terms of
establishing Tbe
Need
For
cbange brief I wonder if the
general feeling
among
administrators is that a definite
change is needed now?
F: I think it’s a little early to
say that. My approach at this
time because of incidents over
the past few months is to ‘cool
it baby’,
let’s
not
charge
ahead too quickly, we’ll have
to restore stability on the
campus before we can go
ahead. We have to establish a
climate of confidence.Once
we have stability and confidence
than
we can start
looking at new developmqxts
.... S o I t h i n k w e d f e w
months during which time we
are given the opportunity to
establish these things and then
we should be prepared to go
ahead.
...
M: How do you propose to go
about establishing confidence
again in the channelsthat
exist?
F: This is a verydifficult
question. I have some ideas. I
hope to set up working groups
to look into some of the areas
of development academically
and administratively. I have
to try to convince peopleof my
desire to work for the good of
the university and to work in
their interests. They have to
have confidence in me and
believe in my integrity. This
will take time, but this I will
try to do. To say at this time
how I will do it is asking a
question that is to difficult to
answer because to someextent I will have to play it day
by day ... It would be rather
foolish if I thought I have all
the answers now. I don’t.
M: How would you describe
your relations as they now
exist, say with the Faculty
Association?
Are
things
working smoothly?
F: Beyond all my expectations. I have been
overcome by the support that
has been promised to me ... I
havehad an interviewwith
the president of the faculty
association (Dr. Charles
Doyle) averypleasant
interview. I think that we can
work together. Because I feel
that we’re all working towards
the same end - perhaps we’re
going about it in different
ways but I really feel our

DEPARTMENT O F
GERMANIC
LANGUAGES
AND LITERATURE
The Martlet spoke with the
head of the Department, Dr.
J.B. MacLean. He explained
that in the past, a letter bas
been circulated to all third and
fourth year German students,
asking themif they would like
some
sort
of student
representation on departmental committees.
According to MacLean the
majority of students declined
the invitation on the grounds
that they lacked the time to
serve on such committees.
Students have also been
invited from time to time, to
attend
meetings
of the
department.
MacLean expressed a desire
to see studentscometo
meetings, either of their own
volition or by banding
together to elect or appoint a
representative.
Representatives, he
said,
would be permitted on all
committees.
When asked which students
would eligible

representatives he answered,
can’t
“I say

MacLean admitted q a t so

been circulated, due in great
measure to the disappointing
lack of response in past years.
He informed,
however,
that if he got some indication
of student interest, he would
be willing to try again to
organize student representation.
DEPARTMENT OF
FRENCH LANGUAGE
AND LITERATURE
In the French as in the
German Department there is
currently no student representation.
According to the Head of
that department, Dr. O.M.

the Vikings have a bad first
period, but come back in the
second and third to gain a
measure of respectability
when they outplayed and out
bumped the University
of
Alberta Golden Bears.
Outscored 5-3 in the latter
two periods the Vikings were
frustrated when the puck
refused to coaperate.
Four goals in the second
period were affected by what
has becomepopular as the
“Argo bounce’’ and never did

seemed tosupply the spark
needed for the Vikings.
Early in the second period
he discarded the more gentlemanly aspects of the game
in favour of a series of jabs,
hooks,
and
combinations,
enroute to a clear-cut decision
over a six inch taller and 30
pound heavier Golden Bear.
Although the game did end
in a 9-3 loss for the Vikings
they gave every indication
that the next day with a good
start things could possibly be
a lot better.

would
have been
further ahead if they had
forgotten to get out of bed, at
times it appeared they had.
With the
exception
of
goalkeeper Murry Finlay the
team was terrible.
For most of the game Finlay
was being faced with three or
four of the Alberta team sitting on the crease and the rest
of the team simply refused to
do anything about it.
The body checking that was
done was weak and extremely
ineffectual,
more
Viking
passes went to Albertaplayers
than Vikings,the few shots the
Vikings had on the Alberta net
were not strong enoughto
have any more than nuisance
value.
If the players were rolling
over and playing dead for the
prairieteam,
coach Howie
Carty of the Vikings was not.
The performance from the
bench was worth
the tripto the
arena.
If the team showed more
than a slight inclination to be
lethargic on theice, on the
bench Carty’s antics were
indeed the opposite.
Both by sight and word the
indicationswerethatthe
attitude from the bench was
every bit as terrible as that
from the ice.
Throughout this
dismal
performance there was still
the oftenlonely and always
busy Finlay, attempting to
single handedly holdoff the
Alberta team.
Finlay had a variedafternoon.
The 89 shots on goal varied
frompointblank
drives, to

four
breakaways, with no one in a
Viking uniform between them
and the red light but Finlay.
With the final score 9 - 0, the
only Viking on the ice, or the
bench, who should have been
capable of looking at himself
in the mirror withoutbeing
ashamed, Finlay was further
handicapped by a charleyhorse, suffered when he was
pushed back intothe goal post
during the Friday night game.
The Vikings are nowdown

Vikings are not a Uad hockey
club, but it would appear they
are suffering from internal
problems and if they are to
show their true potential they
will have to get together and
start playing as a unit.
Not just the players, but also
*e coach, manager, trainer,
and tne water boy; everyone
involved with the team, must
put things together and begin
operating as a unit.
Anyone who thinks that this
should carry on past the doors
of the arena would be terribly
naive, or just plain stupid.
Once the team does come
together and go intothe arena
everyone involved must strive
for the same thing and agree
onhow to get it.
The Vikings are operating
under
conditions
less than
ideal, in fact, bordering on
ludicrous, but once they are
able to think and act together,
putting forth a solid effort,
they will provide spectators
with exciting, winning hockey.

an advisor on the students’
councils, and in my own day a

to be a

Some of his solutions at this
time may seem overly-simple,
but then he himselfadmits he
may be “naively optimistic”.
Even ifno sweeping changes
are made during his administrationatleastthe
university ought to be a much
more pleasant place to be than
it was in the Partridgeera.
His
policy
of openess
and
cooperation is quite similar to
that of RobertWallace, who
was acting president after
Malcolm Taylor’s resignation.
In the muchmorecongenial
atmosphere of that time the
university enjoyed perhaps its
most productive years. It is to
be hoped Farquhar will be
equally successful.)

Ten million Pakistani
refugees have poured
into
India since Marchand
the

shows
no signs of
lessening, she said. The USC
has raised $w),OOO in four
months for the refugees.

Supplies for the refugees are
not expensive(for example,
two cents willbuy a child a
cup of milk and a dollar will
buy a blanket) but so many
are destitute that there can

Family planning plays an
important role in the aid

Hitschmanova. Each woman
who goes to the clinic for the
insertion of an IUD receives
thirty pounds of barley for
herself and her family.
