It is perhaps easy for an educator } associated with a public university that is ‘. fed-‘mainly with government funds to talk : freely of tition in the marketp : of ideas: and ideals, It is something else again for a struggling private university * dependent entirely on student fees and the donations of private individuals and ! private companies to be quite as clinically i objective. Up to and including the day of the i Nelson seminar on the regional college at * which Dr. Taylor spoke, it was the opi- ; Dion of this newspaper that Notre Dame : University president Father Aquinas Tho- mas was taking a sour. grapes attitude towardsthe proposal for a regional col- . lege here and that. he was doing untold _ bar to his university's Public eae in i the + the college is presented, If the bylaw pass- es in February — and we have no doubt but that it will —then at‘ that time Notre Dame's attitude must change to one of complete cooperation or the good feeling that still exists between the university and most of the Kootenay populace may well be ruptured beyond repair. Notre Dame has struggled hard to obtain money for buildings and equipment by holding public drives and by canvass- ing big industry (all of whom are also be- ing canvassed by the public universities.) It has struggled equally hard to make a name for itself and to obtain accreditation with other institutions of higher learning in both this province and in Canada, and it had to fight an uphill battle over many years to obtain university status from the provincial government. __. It started with 10 students above an old bakery in downtown Nelson just 15 years ago and now, fed with taxpayer dollars, a competitor is to be built: only 28 miles away. that will compete for stu- dents in the first two years, the years which Notre Dame depends upon to keep students’ on its campus for their third and fn years, yy his i operative niuituds towards the “establish- i: ment of the college. Dr. Taylor’s remarks have made us } reassess cur thinking. P We now believe that Notre Dame has no aiternative but to continue its ques- ‘tioning attitude towards the regional col- - lege, at least until the money. bylaw for petition is fine — and we all envive on it — but let’s keep in mind that it’s difficult to compete properly in an ac- ademic way when most of a university’s resources must be devoted to beating the bushes for money so that it can keep -go- ing. It’s like the coal industry competing with a natural gas industry that is gov- ernment subsidized. : Notre Dame and its Educational Future : Dr. Malcolm Taylor, president, of the “University of Victoria, put, sciue thoughts on private institutions of higher learning . on the public record at Nelson two weeks ago that warrant full consideration. In his remarks, reported on elsewhere -on this page, he pointed’ out that. private _dinstitutions’ provide a choice in education “that a democratic. society ought to offer :and listed ‘some of the great private unt- ‘yersities in eastern Canada and the Unit- ‘ed States that have stimulated public uni- ‘Versities in those areas to greater acade- ‘mic heights.” \ ‘Dr. McTaggart. -Cowan’s Simon ‘Fraser, - University is; presently setting ‘about ex- ‘ploring new editcatiohal:paths:in this pro- -vince but it has the ‘advantage of being fed with public funds. (The private funds it will receive from the 3. Universi- ties Capital Fund Drive are channeled to the three public universities of Simon Fraser, UBC and Victoria University. No- tre Dame University was banned from taking part in the drive.) The Nelson Uni- versity should now set about investigating ways and means by which it can introduce ions into its pr 3 that are with: ° in its financial means. While we most certainly do not sug: gest that ‘Notre Dame become a right- wing institution, it might well be advised to investigate a program of studies anda program of extra-curricular conferences and weekend. seminars that-‘might ingrain the university :with the business and in-* dustrial community of western Canada. MacGillivray Appointment a Good One: ‘Arrival’ of former deputy. minister of" ‘agriculture William MacGillivray in Cas- tlegar last week to start his duties with B.C. Hydro as a relocation adviser to peo- ple affected by the Columbia projects is to be welcomed, “Mr! MacGillivray . has had a long and distinguished career in the public service of British Columbia and persons who go to him with their problems will undoubt- edly find him knowledgeable, courteous,: friendly and helpful. - :.” We must admit that we view Mr. Mac: Gillivray's appointment with much more hope than that of former County Court Judge McLeod M. Colquhoun as special commissioner to-hear any complaints from people adversely affected by the building of the dams. (One of Judge Colquhoun’s terms of reference points out that he “will normally examine complaints in relation to: Hydro’s: financial offers only in those ‘instances in which the complainant has reason to believe that some. significant vaspect.of his case has been overlooked by. ‘the Hydro officers who have made. the proposal.” ") In ‘his’ new role, Mr. MacGillivray will Movie advice when called updn tby people affected by the dams who wish to purchase homes or farms locally or in ‘other: n paris of the province. Born on the Isle of Mull, Argyllshire, ‘Scotland, Mr. MacGillivray served on the - field staff of the British minister of ‘agri- culture ‘and ” fisheries and was active: in farm management in Scotland and Eng- land from 1919 to 1927 when he came to Canada and worked as a hired hand . on a Saskatchewan farm for about a year. From ‘1928 to 1932 he was a livestock specialist with the Saskatchewan depart- ment of agriculture and then, following four years in private industry, he came to B.C. in 1936.ag foreman on an Okanagan cattle ranch. After a three-year term as district agriculturist at Salmon Arm, he was ap- pointed director of the federal-provincial farm labor service .in Vancouver . until 1945. In that year he became director . of land clearing and in 1946 was appoint- ed director of agriculture development and extension. : Mr. MacGillivray was. inted dir- HEAR. ae SNM te 4 Y [Skee ya wy my ee! 16S a ONE MAN’S OPINION pallette Some Strange Reactions to Winter The north wind doth’ blow And we shall have snow. Oh! Oh! The snow. Cheerio, who ho, you know. Other people’s opinions are always: interesting and this seemed a good time to in- terview passers-by and record their opinions of the recent heavy’ snowfall. After: all, this was something abnormal, The first person’ I inter- viewed did not think so. He said that in Saskatchewan in 06 the snow was so deep that he had to dig tunnels to get from the house to barn. As for icicles, one that formed on the courthouse was 50 feet long. When spring came it was sawed: off and planted in front of the -courthouse .and used as a. flag pole ail sum- er. When I appeared some- what dubious of this statement he assured me that it was per- © fectly true and he could show me the hole where the icicle was planted. c 2 Ladies are always suscep- tible to beauty so it was no surprise when Mrs, S.-O. Cilly told me she just adored the snow. It covered up.all the ugliness of the world-and gave one a glimpse of the eternal iverities. It looked so peaceful, didn’t I think? When I said I though it -was most inconvenient, she ._ said, “Oh, surely not. One doesn’t have to: go out in it, does: one?- It is.as-simple as ate” Z ‘The next was a man who “did not think it was simple.

However, the’ gist of his re- marks was that there was a de- finite lack of intelligence and not the ‘oppositi elected by the people to gov- «that is forever England imagination in the public works department. 4 The next interviewer had no Jack of imagination, He was all for using modern methods. The modern method he refer: red to centred around a .mo- bile conveyor belt to be set up in each street to carry away the snow. When I said this did not, seem practical, he said, “The impractical we do today, the impossible to- morrow.’ A recreationist I spoke to was most enthusiastic, He felt the heavy fall of snow’ would give impetus ‘to winter sport, Stylized Maple Leaf Now Our Centennial Symbol «HM Ketasily, Centennial Commission Canada now has a centen- ult ae a stylized maple at ing all Canadians 3 During the past ‘year the commission held a contest to -find “such: a. symbol.
