Target For Higher Learning

HROUGHOUT British Columbia in the next few

months we are going to become increasingly aware
of the part played. by the University of British
Columbia in the educational, industrial and social
spheres of life in our province.

To every corner will be sent teams of speakers
from the university faculties. We-can expect to see
something of the work of the campus clubs, those
enthusiastic groups that help to round out the educa-
tional program offered.

Reason behind this public relations drive is to
show the necessity of a recent decision of the univer-
sity to go out and raise five million dollars for needed
construction.

Actually, most of this money will come from large
industry, but the university fund committee feels that
the gifts will flow more freely if the public as a whole
is made university-conscious.

Some of the facts as outlined last week by. Art
Sagar, executive secretary of the Alumni Society, are
enough to make all of us aware of the fact that U.B.C.
desperately needs increased accommodation space and,
what is more important, is academically worthy of
financial consideration,

It is obvious that not enough high school students
in British Columbia or Canada are taking advantage
of a higher education. Last year in B.C. only nine
per cent of the 18-22 yéar age group went on to
university. In the United States the average is 35
per cent, and—pause for thought in this technical
age—the average is higher in Russia.

If a campaign to interest more young people in
going to university is successful, our already ove:
crowded university at Vancouver would find it impos
sible to accommodate the students. It is faced with
the problem today, with a growing population swell-
ing*the ranks of the student body.

What the university is forced to use to hous@#
several of its faculties leaves little room for pride
when we citizens of British Columbia consider our
highest seat of learning. Army huts that were
hauled on to the campus to alleviate the post war
situation are still in use. When the new faculty of
education was established another frame struchine
was hauled into place. ‘The shack malversities
the label that is being tagged to U.B.C.

‘With all its material shortcomings, the univer-
sity has attained an enviable academic record. As @
producer of eminent scientists it stands first in
Canada and fourth in comparison with United States
universities. + }

We hope the fund committee succeeds in sine
well beyond its target figure. The record shows
U.B.C. needs the money and certainly deserves it.

You Have An Appointment

‘OU have an appointment next Monday. The time is

very elastic—anytime between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m.
will do. The place is the polling station in your
locality.

It matters only to yourself how you cast your
ballot in this provincial by-election, but it matters to
all of us that you do take the trouble to vote, As
long as the majority of the citizens in a democracy
demonstrate their responsibility at the polls, our way
of life remains secure.

Remember the date—September 9.

Letter To The Editor

REPLIES TO THANKS

Dear Sir—it was quite over-
whelming to read that eulogistic
article from Mr. Douglas Smith
on his recent visit to Dog Creek.
Probably-the real-reason for our
hospitality is to inveigle new-
comers in for.a cup of tea and
then to pour into their receptive
ears all our woes re terrible
haying weather, poor price of
beet, ete,

were so widely published I feel
it only fitting to take this oppor-
unity to express our grateful

trust on my next visit to town
the good people of Williams
Lake will expect to see me wear-
ing my usual antediluvian hat
and not a halo!
