NDU Would Like fo Negofiafe Sale with Provincial Government

Failure of the board of
governors of Notre Dame
University to remove the
trappings of Catholicism was
blamed as a major reason for
low student enrolment.

The charges were made at
Nelson in the first day of public
hearings with the | government-

Notre Dame University that
the board of governors has
“failed to project a clear image
of NDU.”

It has done this, he said, by
refusing to rerhove such Catho-
lic symbols as a crucifix, by
using the religious name and by
recognizing the bishop as

of In-
quiry te Post Secondary
Education in the Kootenays.

Most Rev. W. E. Doyle,
bishop of Nelson and chairman
of the board of governors of
Notre Dame, told the commis-
sion NDU owes $1.6 million to
Central Mortgage and Housing;

250,000 to the bank and
$725,000 to the Diocese of
Nelson.

He said the $750,000 was
contributed by the people of the
diocese for Catholic education
and should be used for local
private schools if public status
is granted to the university.

In his request for public
status, the bishop said he would
be happy to have the govern-
ment appraise the $1.5 million
in assets of NDU and stated he
“would like to be in the position
to negotiate with the govern-

ment forthe sale of ‘Notre .

Dame."--—*

A request for public status
under the’ Universities “Act
formed the major part of the 18
briefs heard by the commission
on its first day.

Among. them was_ the
criticism by Dr. Alan Child,
president of the recently
certified Faculty Association of

of its board of
governors,

Dr. Child accused the
board of “having little know-
ledge of the university's opera.
tions and little desire to learn.”
He said as a private institution
NDU is receiving a greater
proportion of public money and
a siaaller amount of private
ions than uni jes at

said rumors are flying that this
year's $1,100 per student
government grant will be
increased.

Why does NDU desire
recognition under the Univer-
sities Act which would limit it

granting institution noting that
there is much talk of two-year
degrees now.

A proposal that Notre
Dame University be chosen to
develop an entirely new educa-

tional concept in British Colum: _

bia was made by Student Union

to a four-year degree granting
asked

ce
chairman Dr. Tan McTaggart-
Cowan. He suggested a more

unique solution may better suit ”
NDU.

He was told by Dr. Kaller
that the university is seeking
the credibility it does not now
have and has never had the
funds to adequately run the one
“program it is trying to make

the coast.

The university would not
be able to exist, he said, for the
two or three years it may take
to set up a University of the
Kootenays and asked for public
status by the end of 1973.

In his plea for recognition
under the Universities Act,
NDU president Dr. C. L. Kaller
said he is personally committed
to rationality and co-operation
between other existing post-
secondary institutions in the
Kootenays. © eM

<"He"agréed"to the” pussibi:
ity suggested by commissioner
Dr. Geoffrey Andrew that
NDU and Selkirk College could
exist as one institution with
students bussed back and forth
for various courses.

“Would it not add to the
cultural clout?” Dr. Andrew
asked. “And why should one
not look at total amalgamation
of two institutions offering a
wide variety of courses?”

The university president
backed up his plea for public
status by reasoning that it
would provide the stability
needed to act as an incentive
for attracting students.

His colleague, NDU trea-
surer J. C. Ryan, said recogni-
tion would increase the finan-
cial status of the institution.

In his brief, Mr. Eggleton
suggested NDU be used as a
testing ground for the newly-
developed interdisciplinary,
problem-oriented approach to
education.

Mr. Eggleton and cul-
league Dan Grant proposed a
co-ordination of all academic
offerings in the Kootenays
under a central University of
the Kootenays consisting ofan
an: art

involved in pro-
grams without the support of
other institutions,” he said.
E. G. Petter, chairman ofa
committee for NDU's General
Faculty Council, also asked for
public status but made no
request to be granted recogni-
tion as a four-year degree

school, a technical institute and
a vocational school.

The brief also stressed the
importance of developing an
affiliated institution in the East
Kootenay so that the steady
flow of students to Western
Alberta could be averted.

Bill Cosby is fo Appear

~AL-PNE in Vancouver- =: #

“According to the man
himself, the reason for Bill
- Cosby's lasting success as a
comedian can be summed up
this way: young and old, men
and women can relate to him
because his stories are invari-
ably about his childhood days.
“I never tell jokes; I tell
stories," says Cosby, who
appears in person Aug. 19 at
the Pacific National Exhibition.
“Practically all my bits deal
with my childhood days back in
Philly where the important
thing on the block was how far
you could throw ‘a football.”
Bill Cosby, is one of
outstanding performers.in the
Star Spectacular shows at this
year’s Fair which runs from
Aug. 18 through Sept. 3.
As a child, Bill Cosby paid

attention to details that others,

did not even think about. He
could always make people
laugh, and he enjoyed doing so
because it gave him a sense of
security.

Although his first ambition
was to become a sports hero,
and his second to be a school
teacher, it was almost pre-
ordained that he become a
comedian. For Cosby, telling
funny stories was a way of
making friends.

Not that it wasn't a
struggle. “Breaking into show
business is one of the hardest,
longest, most discouraging
things you can do,". admits
Cosby. “You better have lots of
guts ‘and determination.”

Bill Cosby made the scene
just at the right time. Tele-
vision was starting to open up.

Night clubs, he says, were good"
to him, but he did not feel
established until his I Spy
series on the tube.

Cosby always believed that
in show business “you dis-
appear if you stand still.”

tion at the tennis courts wore
“quite high” so the number of
fixtures to be installed will be
reduced “to come within the
budgeted amount."

Hints About
Trailer Use
Behind Cars

A growing number of cars
have trailers hitched to them
this summer, making it impor-
tant that drivers be properly
informed concerning their use.

The following tips will help
drivers tow their trailers safely
and easily:

Load the trailer using the
“60-40” principle—60 per cent
of the weight on the front half
of the trailer and 40 per cent on
the back,

Be sure the total trailer -

weight is no more than half the
weight of the car. If unsure,
scales are available in most
communities,

Check the hitch for slack in
the linkage which causes
whipping. Use a frame hitch in
preference to a bumper hitch,
Attach safety chains in case the
hitch fails and the trailer
breaks loose.

Check to make sure all
lights and turn signals work
before starting. If the trailer is
rented, ask the attendant to
demonstrate how they work.

Check tire pressures on
both the car and the trailer. For
the car, cold pressures up to 32
pounds are not too high, Trailer’
tires often require 45 pounds,’
and boat trailer tires as much
as 65 pounds,

. Have the car's tires,
springs, shock absorbers, fen-
der mirrors, oil and transmis-
sion thoroughly checked by a
serviceman before starting.

Inspect the entire hookup

-at each stop,

* ,Other points to remember,

Complete insurance protection
is valuable when using a trailer.
Remember the extra weight
and length a trailer adds. Allow
enough passing room. and try
not to overuse the brakes,
Steer firmly but gently. Keep
the trailer in good mechanical
condition, and never let anyone
tide in it.

Well, all three really dig
music and are the stars of anew
16-minute color short entitled
“We Call Them Killers,” pro-
duced by the National Film
Board of Canada,

The two whales, who
reside at Victoria's Sealand of
the Pacific, don’t actually play
like Paul does, but they can be
described as music lovers which
is “something whales are prone
to be," according to whale
expert Dr. Paul Spong.

Dr, Spong, the film's
narrator, explains that whales
respond to the sensory appeal
of music and evocative sound
because of their exquisite
hearing.

Slocan Valley.
CPR Crossing
To Get Lights

Two flashing light signals
and a bell are to be i installed at
the point where Highway 6
crosses the CPR tracks at
Crescent Valley,

‘The Railway Transport.
Committee has notified the-
Régional District “of Central *
Kpotenay. that an investigation +
reported the crossing is used by"
approximately 2,000": vehicles
per day along with 10 freight
trains a week.

The'committee says that
“due to conditions at the
crossing, particularly _ noting
that the highway. parallels the
track before crossing over,” the*
installation is recommended.

The signals are to be
located approximately 20 feet
from ‘the centre line of the
roadway.

Filmmaker Tom Shandel
has captured with fascinating
action shots from above and
below the surface of the water,
the spirited rejoicing of the two
whales as they react to the
sensuous tunes from Paul
Horn's flute and Dr. Spong’s
sound experiments.

For instance, when Paul

plays his flute at the edge of the’

poo!, Haida and Chimo lazily

splash in the water and join in |

with their own musical offer-
ings, which sound like a cross
between a cat's meow and a
dog's whine. The film also
shows the many: ways Dr.
Spong communicates with the
whales by making different
sounds with glass objects.

The two whales are also
caught performing in their
regular Sealand show.

Dr. Spong ends the film by
suggesting that whales. in
instructive captivity for about
five years could return to their
natural habitat with a different
understanding. :

Director Shandel hopes his
film will influence the public
about whales, increasing its
interest inthem and preventing
their possible extinction.
