Occasionally, an article appears i n
Time or 'a similar periodical dwelling 1ov in1y upon the idyll of man in the age of
aittomation . With a negligible work-week ,
mart May devote all his free time to tidying
up seciety, removing evils from the cornMunity, enriching the culture . The arts
will flourish, continue these little pieces
hypnotically ; every man will soon hav e
tli¢ 'opportunity of exploring the classics of
nf}csiC'~ and' prose of art, sculpture, and
architecture . Every second citizen wil l
belong to a community theatre, and yo u
word be able to turn around without trip ping over someone's loom or potter 's wheel .
Not only will everyone be working less ,
but economic equality will ' be the order of
thI' ttffr y'
well . Th'e're is no apparent reason ,
fpr
this second assumption, so
supplled•
We May assume that it is prompted by a
feelifi$ that the prospect of two Buic k
owners discussing St . Thomas Acquians
possesses an appealing symmetry that a
Ford owner and a Cadillac owner similarly
engaged does not . At any rate, the genera l
i4 ea seems to be that once man is no longer
primarily occupied by a daily struggle fo r
spcio-economic security, he will naturall y
tu}'ri to the polishing up of civilization' s
facade .'
Quite at odds with this view is the sor t
asserted by Cliford Fadiman in the Augus t
number of Saturday Review. It is his contention that the modern citizen is, to us e
his term, too "stunned" by his manic and
highly commercialized life to transcend it
in his free time . Our free time, he says, is '
devoted not to the leisure activities described above, but is wholly devoted to play .
Man in his eyes is a creature mesmerized by the pace of his work-day activities .
His play is a series of diverting emulation s
of, and substitutions for, the pressures an d
egressions of his working hours . The concept of "fun," he continues, is carried bac k
into the business world, so that not onl y
are we chained to the blinding pace o f
commercial productivity, we assert our enjoyment of it as well .
He cites as examples of this type of behavior such things as the trend to faste r
and bigger cars, longer and more frequen t
cocktail parties, business men's golf games ;
martini lunches, and such slogans as "It's
Fun to Bank At The Bank of America . "
Drawing modern man as spending al l
his time, free orotherwise, running always
toward those things that will help him t o
run faster, laughing delightedly all the time ,
Fadiman goes on to suggest that the reaso n
for this behavior is that man is bored .
Gratifying his glands is not enough, but h e
fails to realize this and seeks to allay hi s
boredom with more of the same sort o f
gratification . While agreeing that leisur e
should mean attending to the values, moral s
and cultural patterns of civilization, b *
means of free expression and discussion i n
all its forms, and that it remains the onl y
escape from boredom left to man, he assert s
that the present trend is strongly awa y
from it .
Neither of these two schools of though t
should be unfamiliar to us . If, as is frequently the case, .we learn nothing else
from our sixteen years of schooling, we d o
learn two things : that sooner or later w e
are going to have to go to work, and that ,
somehow, we must also become educated ,
that is, learn to spend our leisure time i n
some manner other than playing. Of th e
two tasks, becoming innured to the prospec t
of work is the less difficult .
Adolescence has come to be regarde d
as a sort of apprentice adulthood ; it is here ,
fn our opinion, that the play-while-youwork concept becomes firmly rooted . Ther e
is never any doubt expressed during the
serving of this apprenticeship that th e
adolescent, in five or six years will make the
guild . All that is necessary, he is told, i s
that he learns to act like an adult . And h e
does, quickly .
Teen-age marriages are rapidly becoming the rule rather than the exception, fo r
example, and generally, the teen-age generation shows a frightening knack for the style
of life Mr . Fadiman deplores . Not only d o
they have the cars and the liquor and al l
the other playthings of their parents, they
have the same love of steady acceleration .
By learning early to attach prestige t o
group membership and assert this prestig e
by means of the material accoutrements o f
those groups, they master young the fundamentals of adult behavior ; by playing a t
play, they rapidly become ready to pla y
at work .
These newly-recruited adults have on o
obstacle past high school graduation t o
surmount before they can play with Daddy ;
University graduation . University, apparently, is the only place they may acquir e
an education, learn the knack of profitabl e
leisure time — that devotion to the arts and
so on that got lost back in the first paragraph . Here is the one place that they mays
lwtrn that there is more to life than livin g
of it in the biggest gobs possible . Do they
learn this here ?
There is one way to find out . Read thei r
essays ; listen to the conversations in the
Cafeteria or the Library . Watch the way
they vote and find out what convinces the m
to vote that way .
After these and similar tests, will they ,
and we, come through as anything mor e
than Cllr . Fadiman's automatons? It seem s
dubious .
Letters to the Editor
Faris A Liberal ?
Editor, The Ubyssey ,
Dear Madam :
Mr . Ron Faris' ideas of Socialism have always puzzled
me . In his unqualified suppor t
of the Winnipeg Declaratio n
he seemed a poor Socialist . I n
fact one would imagine hi m
more at home in the Libera l
Party .
In his sweeping review o f
the Canadian political scene i n
Tuesday's "Ubyssey" however ,
he throws off his disguise an d
reveals himself as a true Socialist . He writes :
"Sunday school
socialis m
has no appeal to real go-getters .
Only university professors ,
tired social workers, worn ou t
school teachers and their il k
support the C .CF . "
Why is this? Earlier on i n
his article Mr . Faris gives u s
the reason when he tells ho w
Solon Low easily ' tore apar t
"our middle class concepts o f
e(OnOmics,"
Adenauer

Dave Robertso n
Harry yuil l
Dave Ferry
Marilyn Smit h
I say, and Mr . Faris appear s
to agree with me, let's thro w
out our "middle class concept s
of economics ." While we're
doing that let's also stop tryin g
to trade our principles for a
few votes . Let's get down to
honest-to-God, working-clas s
Socialism . Then maybe th e
C .C .F . will be able to fill a bigger role than merely that o f
"Canada's conscience an d
spokesman for the humanit y
which is in us all . "
If Mr . Faris can change hi s
views so can all these othe r
self-styled "Socialists" and together we may get the C .C .F .
back on the rails .
May I conclude by sayin g
that we in the C .C .F . welcom e
university professors, tired social workers and worn ou t
school teachers . Nothing is s o
rejuvenating as having something to really believe in an d
work for .
Yours truly ,
KEN IIODKINSON
Sex ?
Editor, The Ubyssey ,
Dear Madam :
The constant reference to

But all one sees and hears
is Sex, Sex, and more Sex .

Even more disturbing is th e

EDiTOR-IN-CHIEF ANALYSI S
On September 15, the elections for the German Bundestag took place . They resulted
in a great victory for Dr . Konrad Adenauer .
General Significanc e
The Bundestag is elected b y
the people for a period of fou r
years . This year's election ha s
been the third one since th e
creation of the Federal Republic of Germany in 1949 .
The Bundestag is the mos t
important federal organ . I t
has the main legislative powe r
and supervises as well the executive . The Chancellor (Bundeszanzler) is elected by th e
Bundestag on proposal of th e
President . Therefore alway s
the candidate of the stronges t
party or at least group of par ties in the Bundestag will be come Chancellor .
As in this election the CDUCSU got 270 out of 497 seat s
they can easily elect Dr . Adenauer to become Chancellor .
The position of the Chancellor is very strong : he propose s
the ministers to be appointe d
by the President, he gives th e
outlines of the government policy, no minister can be dismissed without his consent .
Besides the 497 deputies of
Western Germany there are 2 2
deputies of Berlin who, however, have only consultative
vote .

The general tendency was a
strengthening of the two grea t
parties on cost of the smalle r
parties, of which some disappeared entirely . The forme r
government parties got a clea r
victory, the CDU/CSU (Dr .
Adenauer) even got the absolute majority . The SPD (011enhauer) could not, as they ha d
hoped, increase the number o f
their seats to one third of th e
total . They therefore can no t

even block constitutional amendments, which require twothirds of the votes . .
Causes Analysed
The prime cause for the elec tion result was probably th e
government's satisfactory eco nomic policy . The voter wa s
more inclined to believe in further successes of this polic y
than to follow SPD-promise s
for even better results . Th e
government had also one favour with the passing of an ac t
which brought improvement s
for social insurance pensioners .
Foreign policy had a stron g
effect on the election as well .
Though Dr . Adenauer's proceedings with the Russians during the last few years — especially his lack of progress i n
re-uniting East and West —
were admired not too highl y
by the German people, he' i s
highly regarded for his relations with the Western powers .
011enhauer's campaign against military conscription ,
which seemed to be quite' at tractive, has failed . Thoug h
certainly not with a light heart ,
the people seems to acknowledge the role it has to tak e
over in Western defence program .

Future Aspect s
As main tasks for the new
Bundestag Dr . Adenauer mentioned : action in favour of th e
middle classes and a thoroug h
reform of the West Germa n
taxation system . As to foreig n
policy, Dr . Adenauer said : "I
believe that . . . the guarante e
of the steady course in foreign
policy which we have steered
so far and which we shall continue to steer for the next fou r
years, will be an essential contribution to accelerating th e
progress of recuperation — i f
I may be permitted to use th e
expression in the sphere of
foreign policy . "
It is evident that a majorit y
of the government parties wil l
secure a very steady policy .
Nevertheless there remains th e
danger that a very strong government might become a bi t
too self-confident . Dr . Adenauer, however, and younge r
statesmen who will suppor t
him might know how to avoi d
that danger .

Increas e
'Unfair'
-
Yesterday's editorial suggesting students raise their fees
$5 per year for 3 years to con tribute to the Capital Gifts
Campaign would appear to b e
written with complete disregard for UBC's past history o f
student contribution in thi s
field . Not that this is not a
worthy cause . The need admittedly is tremendous . Bu t
before we jump on Studen t
AMS fees as a quick sourc e
of revenue, we must view all
factors, past and present i n
their proper perspective .
The editorial said we shoul d
raise our fees to back up las t
year's Trek And show it wa s
not just an idle gesture . Thi s
is forgetting that last year' s
Trek was not just a new stunt ,
bat was rather a natural consequence of 30 years of student activity in the field of
university development . Th e
1922 Trek started the University on its present site, Durin g
the war, the COTC, UNTD, an d
URS surrendered their wage s
to pay for the Armouries an d
Field House . Student contributions and campaigning buil t
the Women's Gym and Broc k
Hall . And more recently student campaigning and $5 student levy is paying for th e
Memorial Gym and the Broc k
Extension . These buildings to day have a $3,000,000 replace ment value on a campus whos e
total value is $25,000,000 .
This activity in the field o f
university development is an
Jabour
extraordinary thing for students . No other university ca n
compare with us on thes e
grounds . Yet it appears th e
extraordinary is now bein g
taken for granted and we ar e
asked, "What are the student s
going to do to help in the pre sent campaign?" We are for getting that students were
helping to build this campu s
long before this Campaign wa s
ever thought of, and will continue to help when it is lon g
forgotten .
To say that students must d o
something NEW this year t o
lead the way is to view pas t
events in the wrong perspective completely .
We admit there would b e
large publicity value in such
a move, but it would not hav e
that much more effect than th e

Besides offering gear to students at greatly reduced prices ,
the store gives commerce under grads excellent retail training .
In fact, the business is run on a

College Shop has grown with

1953 the Society formed a n
actual store in a cubby hole in

Bremner estimates that las t

modern arrangements and greater variety of products .
Items on sale include coppe r

By JOH N
U,BC Thunderbird soccer team will b e
sparked by a new coach, former freedon !
fighter Frank Kruse, when they meet Arm y
and Navy at Callister Park on Saturda y
at 2 p .m .
Kruse is one of the 25 instructors o f
Sopron University in Hungary who wer e
brought to Canada by the Canadian government . The short, dynamic coach who ha s
only been at UBC two weeks, was an instructor in soccer and volleyball at Sopron .
He worked first in Penticton and the n
in Powell River, where he began to- lear n
to speak English with the Hungarian Forestry students . Kruse speaks only moderately good English and finds this his greates t
'difficulty in coaching the two soccer teams .
He is being expertly assisted by Bruce Ash down, inside left for the 'Birds .
Soccer is a faster, harder game in Canada than in Europe, Kruse'stated . He wa s
amazed by the number of eager recruit s
who turned out to the practises .
SPORTS EDITOR
DRESSLER
There will be two Hungarian men playing for the 'Birds on Saturday and Krus e
says that more will be turning out fo r
practises soon .
Bruce Ashdown feels that the 'Bird s
should be a good bet to take Saturday' s
game as the team is "every bit as good a s
last year," although they will have th e
handicap of only one week's practice .
'Birds lineup will be Clive Hughes, goal ;
Joe Hay and Jimmie Smith, fullbacks ; Fran k
Sealy, Leon Phillips and Frank Iacobucci ,
halfbacks ; . outside right, J . Pataka ; insid e
right, Ralph Phelps ; centre, Ritchie Higgins ;
