When asked why heran for a
second term if it was possible he
would be leaving, Murray said the
job was offered to him
unexpectedly. He had planned to be on
campus this year, he claimed, but
he went to a job interview on the
suggestion of a friend.
*‘Iwill be on campus a lot during
the fall,” Murray said,although he
admitted it would bemainlyat

“Who’s going to spend $75 on a
campaign for two meetings‘?’’ he
added.
Murray said he discussedhis
position with UBC registrar Jack

running board andsenate

changes in election procedures and
terms to prevent future members

Seabed riches beckon miners
By MICK LOWE
Thefollowingarticlefirstappeared
in
Miner’s Voice, a publication of the United
Steelworkers of America, and is reprinted
f r o m Canadian University Press.
In August, 1973, a strange-looking ship

threatened will likely be the lateritic nickel
deposits in Guatemala and the Dominican
Republic, Elliott says.
Although the cost of mining lateritics is
cheaperthan recovering the sulphide (or
sulphur-bearing) ores found in Canada, the
laterite refining process is energyintensive.
As energy costs continue to skyrocket,
Elliott predicts the laterite deposits will be
less and less competitive.
Four major variables will determine the
future of Canada’s nickel and copper industry relative to seabed mining - longterm demand,long-term supply, thecosts of
production of the respective methods, and

OTTAWA (CUP) - Enrolment
in universities and colleges will
rise about four per cent this fall
while elementaryandsecondary
school enrolment will continue to
decline, according to Statistics
Canada projections for the current
academic year.
There will be a total of about
616,490 post-secondary students :%85,090in universities and 231,400
in colleges. Because of the growing
size of the 18-24 age group, postsecondaryenrolment is expected
to rise for the next few years,
although more slowly than in the
past.
The projections are based on 1972
population statistics.
Elementary
and
secondary
schools will probably see 78,268

ASIAN CENTRE
Centre needs funds
By TED DAVIS
The half-finished UBC Asian
Centre is again short of money so short it can no longer finance its
own fund-raising campaign.
The UBC board of governors
budget committee decided in June
. not to extendthecentre's
fundraising
budget,
UBC
administration spokesma4 A1 Hunter
' saidWednesday.
Without the extension the fund
raising committeecould not afford
to renew the contract
of chief fundraiser Vian Andrews JudyMah,

Wednesday.

Thecentre is a replica of the
Sanyo pavilion a t Expo '70 in
Osaka, Japan and the framework

But seriousfinancialtroubles
haveputthecentre'sfuture
in

When the building was designed
in 1973 the cost was estimated at
$1.7 million. This amount

The total cost for the building is
now estimatedat $3.2 million to
$3.5 million, leaving at least $1.5
million to be raised.
Mah said the resources council,
whichco-ordinates

approaching
Canadian
and
American corporations for help.
She saiditis
also asking corporations and private individuals
and
governments
in Asia for
donations; either in cash or in
goods such as books, furnishings
and a r t work.
The centre received very little
funding this summer, aside froma
$3,000 donation from a division of
Imperial
Tobacco
and
some
private donations, one for $1,500.
The original benefactors of the
building' were the Federation of
Economic Organizations of Japan
which donated $550,000, the World
Expofoundation,
also of Japan
which gave $350,000, and
the
governments of B.C. and Canada
which each gave $400,000. Another
$50,000 was
donated
by
corporations.

Last year over 300 students received financial aid

But the fund can help in other ways too. If your campus
group has a project that needs assistance it may
be eligible for aid from the fund. In the past athletics,
cultural events and special projects - remember the
